Floating Lanterns

Hoi An is famous for their making of paper lanterns. But this one is a simple floating lantern where you can find them sold along the bridge. They will use a long wooden pole to set them gently on the waters. Usually at every full moon night, floating lanterns will be lighted up. So I bet the river will be flooded with floating lanterns! But I guess the lanterns are to attract tourist, so even on non festive days, you can see floating lanterns. =)

I didn’t manage to snap a good pictures of the floating lanterns on the river because I wasn’t equipped with a longer lens and a tripod. =(

Cycling in an Ancient Town

The boyfriend and I visited an ancient town in Vietnam, called Hoi An. One thing I enjoyed most is cycling. It’s been a while since I cycled around for so many hours. I remember the last time I cycled this long was almost 10 years ago!

Honestly, I love Hoi An. Probably because of the slow paced culture. After being in a stressful environment, all I want is to take my time and enjoy my vacation than to rush around visiting a few cities. I’ll be exhausted. Well, you will hear lots of honking there, where if this happens in Malaysia or Singapore it’s either you’re mad at other drivers or vice versa. But, they honk to signal you.

The boyfriend has not cycled for almost as long as me, and didn’t really have confident. But honestly, this is not the right place to practice or learn cycling. When he first tried riding, he couldn’t control the next thing I know is I saw him in the center of the road with car heading towards him! But in Vietnam, cars/bus/lorries/motorcycles will try to avoid you. I was so scared I scolded him after that! But he managed to cycle well after a while. Phew!

I bet the locals were laughing. Haha.

Busy period

college, For Sale, Photography, Recommendations, Travel No Comments »

Never knew school time is this busy. I thought this whole 9 months will be my honeymoon period. Guess not!!

Been sleeping off my sleeping hours. Used to sleep at sharp 10pm when I first started work. Then, the hours gets further, but still before 12am. Now, I sleep way past 12am, sometimes up to 5am. All thanks to school!

Guess that is a typical student’s life? But I don’t remember staying up so late doing assignments or studying when I was a student. Probably, spending those wee hours playing with the computer. Haha.

So yeah, exam is just around the corner. Exam is on Monday-Wednesday and I have not started studying anything! I have been sleeping all day long and trying to gain back my skills on HTMLs and photoshop which I have lost for few years. Now I know why I love photoshop. It is just simply…..my playground. I wish I could draw, I cannot even draw a heart shape using the touch panel on my Macbook T_T….

Exam’s all on memorizing though. I guess if I start earlier I may have forgotten by the exam day. Gold fish memory I have.

Though been so busy, at least I am able to travel back to KL every month to spend some time with the bf, catch up with the family and just eat MALAYSIAN food.

And oh, I have just started a blogshop selling female apparels (what else kan…). Started it just for the fun of it and I hope that you visit my blogshop and support meeeeeeeeeee!

You can also give me ideas and suggestions to make the site and service better. Many have commented on the first batch of clothings (haha. yes, I need to iron the clothes…i no like ironing la….and yes, i need to EDIT the model  the pictures more and take proper pictures…). I think the model did good. We forced her to be ours because we couldn’t find any….=O

At the same time, my goal is to practice my photography skills!

I will be glad if you can support us by “liking” us at our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter!

We’re trying to bring in more pretty clothes, because we girls deserve pretty things! Yays. =)

Ok, I really should start reading my Pathophysiology.

So it’s the 10th day of 2011. How did everyone celebrated your new year? 2010 has gone and let’s all look forward for a better future! =)

2011 is gonna be a year full of celebration. Live. Love. Laugh. Proposals, marriages, birthdays, travels, work!

So I celebrated the New Year at Australia. I enjoyed the trip with the bf, Nigel and Kel Li

Photobucket

nope, we did not dress up like the locals of Aussie for party. We were all just looking at them, admiring their dresses and shoes. We were just all in casual beach wears!

“Aww, Asians doesn’t know how to party?”

Photobucket

This was what we were wearing! Casual and brr it was cold that night! Cold summer aye?

Photobucket

This is the beautiful Brisbane. Look at the blue blue sky we can never get in Malaysia and Singapore! It was a windy day, thank God no rain!

Though I enjoyed my trip a lot with the bf, but what makes it even fun when there are friends around you! So yeah, double date at Movie World! Fun hanging out with Kel Li who’s always so excited about all the rides while me scary cat don’t dare to sit any of the rides.

Photobucket

But she managed to persuade me to ride on this Scooby Doo one. I saw kids going on the rides too. So I thought it isn’t that bad. But no, the ride was OMGicandie, I screamed so loud, I think they couldn’t concentrate on the ride but to laugh at my screams. Heh

There are just too many pictures that I wanna share. If you wanna see more pictures, you can see them all in my facebook. =)

Photobucket

I really enjoyed this trip, very much. It is indeed a blessing from Above that I am able to travel to Aussie for the 2nd time of the year last year. Truly amazing!

Photobucket

And of course the best part of the trip is coming back with my luggage packed with cheap summer dresses! And due to that, both our wallets were screaming in pain. And it is only me who was doing the shopping. =P

Of course, without the bf, this trip may be impossible. Thanks love. xoxo

Melbourne – Part 1

Melbourne is COLD!

But the people here are quite used to the cold, some even wore shorts and sleeveless tops. Me? Berlayer-layer!

But I’m still a happy girl!

Photobucket

Passed by Flagstaff Garden when was walking to Queen Victoria Market.

I love walking on the streets. But it is just to cold, I would prefer indoors. Too bad, haven’t find any indoors to hang out in yet. Looking forward for tomorrow to explore more. Walked around the CBD already, from Spencer Street til Queen Victoria Market that left us disappointed knowing it is closed on Mondays. =(

Photobucket

At Hwaro Korean BBQ. Delicious and I would love to come back for another round! Pricey though, but good stuff!

This post will be a short one only. Just to tell you guys I AM STILL SURVIVING and am fighting the cold!

Josh loves the cold weather here.

Melbourne is like Singapore. Over in Singapore, we see many Filipinos, Burmese. Over here in Melbourne, we see many Chinese, Koreans, Indians. Some Indians I spoke to here  in Melbourne speaks very indian English.

Good night!
