Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Gundam Kyrios

Harloo...

Its a wonderful night especially get to catch up with friends, moreover at someone's 21st birthday party!! I was kinda exhausted as I've gone to city to meet up my ex-coursemates for lunch...Yummilicious Japanese sushi at Hanaichi, wow...that's absolutely the BLAST for the day! Once I've reached home, I gotta rushed to prepare for tonight's Lisuan birthday party...That's her 21st birthday party, wish her all the best throughout the year!! I've cooked the requested 'Creamy mushroom angel hair pasta'! Hee, luckily it managed to satisfy everyone's stomach...

Yeap, its been a quiet day as my housemate, Ernest has joined up the field trip to Lamington National Park (near GoldCoast)!! As you can see at the title of this post, I'm gonna write about one of my favourite anime series --> Mobile Suit Gundam 00. This anime is really famous and hot all around the world with several subtitles...cool huh?!


Celestial Being Gundam Pilots - Setsuna, Allelujah, Lockon, Tieria

I'm gonna picked Allelujah for this current post as I've bought the Gundam Kyrios's 1/144 HG figure, brought it all the way from Penang and assembled here in Brissy as my housewarming decoration!!


Allelujah with his gundam machine


The box cover from Bandai...


Let's rock, Kyrios in Action position...


Near shot with Macro function...fine and detailed structure


Kyrios in Flight position...Transform!!

Hee, can't wait to get another one in the near future but its kinda hard to get gundam figures here in Brissy...will have to do some research about it then....

Oh yea, just a sneak peak of my housewarming party held few weeks ago...too lazy to put them up...hehee, so just enjoy abit at the time being...hee!!


All the happy people warming out my house...heee

Happy Chinese New Year 2008 - Part 2

Hohoo...Its really a hot day in Penang! Its Monday, 18 Feb 2008, I will have 3 days remaining till the day going back to Brissy!! Honestly, I would love the living style and culture back in M'sia but not working life though...Really hope the upcoming nation election can improve local living quality which is beneficial througout all the generations, provide more job vacancies for new & freshie graduates and prolong the unity of all the Malaysians plus indigenous races!! Time isn't there to wait for people, in contradictory, people should learn how to manage time and appreciate them by heart!! Like myself, I have at least used it to meet up all my best buddies, mates...**AS IF**

Firstly, my trip down to KL for chinese new year has given me the opportunity to meet up Joey for lunch @ The Curve!! The Curve shopping mall is attached with the gigantic cinema mall named CineLeisure and the bazaar stalls are another main attraction for the famous hang-out place! We decided to dine our lunch at a Swiss restaurant called Marche. The restaurant has used a fresh-market concept to present the customers with fresh & tasty feeling, having their meals hassle-free.



Interior of Marche Swiss restaurant...


Seafood Fettuccine with creamy white sauce...YUMM!!

Of coz, the super dessert has completed the whole course of meals...


Devilish Tiramisu with shredded dark chocolates...

Secondly, my trip back Penang this time is also a special one as I've managed to meet up KC during the CNY days...We are both studied in the same secondary school but we never know each others until my winter trip to Melbourne in year 2006. It is such a coincidence where we were in the same local trip to The Great Ocean Road. We were like...."AHHH, you're from JSHS, don't you?" Its such a laughter when we both talked about it again...


KC's favourite - The Ginger Bread Man



Wahaa...The monstrous Ginger Bread Man...

We spent the day at KC's house, chatting & learning photo-taking lessons (with Macro & Colour Accent feature). She was so amazed with the feature and find it so interesting, haa! Yeap, I like the feature as well, especially when u want to take some near object with blur vision at its background...that's what we called 'ART'!!!


Macro mode - Caltex glass as the main focus object


Colour Accent Mode - Only sensitive to Gold, Yellow and Green colour elements...


Another sample with Colour Accent Mode - My favourite " The ruins of St. Paul, Macau"

Alright, today is 21st Feb (Thursday), also Chap Goh Meh - The 15th day of CNY! Feel so fortunate to have the chance to come back for 2 months vacation...Arh, don't feel like to go back Brissy but still have to accept the truth and cherish the time we have with family members, friends, of course not forgetting all the yummilicious Penang authentic cuisines!! Okay, will keep in touch with you guys, its 10.55am now, gotta recheck my luggages...See you back in Brissy, mates...Have a great day!!!

Love,
Kev XOX

Happy Chinese New Year 2008 - Part 1

Harlooo....

Its really been a WHILE since my last post hay...if memory serves me right, that's will be ever since LAST YEAR!! Wah, time flies...I've back to Penang for 2 months + 1 day!! Gosh, what have I done so far?! Just purely EAT without doing anything that is beneficial?? ><"" Nono, U're WRONG! At least I did travel down to KL, working in dad's office for a month, accompany family for N times (:D), met all my best buddies in CLP and IG and etc. Here's some attached pictures to keep ourselves delighted even during stressed and busy days...

Let's start off with the ever pinkish skyline at dawn....Just love it~



All my best ever buddies known since primary school time, cheers matess!! Too bad AhPin wasn't there...


'New' Kids on da block...haaa~ Yoyoyo...

Gotta say sorry to them as I didn't make it for the annual gathering trip in last July...That's my bad, but at least I did please u guys with super duper big bottle of redwine...wahahaha~ All crazy alcoholics...


Why CNY has been so important among chinese throughout all age levels? Haaa... For small, young and big children (like I do) would definitely answer with the ecstatic red packet or Ang Pao in Mandarin!! These red packets were believed to protect the elderly from having sickness!! For elders or married person, it will be a headache festival season as they need to distribute these packets for people like us...wahaha!

Another reason is that CNY is somehow the only time for every relatives or families to gather and share some stories and gossips....haaa~ I personally love reunion dinner lots...get to eat all those yummmy food~ Food monster reincarnation!


My whole family and relatives (mum's side) in KL


Shu Yi, Cheng Yi and I...Look at that cute boy in the middle~ All the cousins went over to Bangsar for a chilling drinks while simply chatting about ourselves...working stories, some sense of humour stories, had fun for that night!!

Hope I will be coming back soon to catch up with all my cousins again, till then, please do take care of yourselves, wish all of you best of luck and happy as always do...!! Yeap, that's my short and simple CNY post part 1, just stay tune for 2nd post...Weeee~~

Its all about FAITH...

Harloo, today is being officially called up as the end of Sem 2, 2007 for UQ students. Life being a 1st year of postgrad student (haha), its nonetheless feeling quite anxious and exciting like all the freshies do...LOL. Yeap, just got my result for 1st sem as business student, hmm, still need to put in more effort...haaa!! Still feeling kinda tired after my short yet exhilarating trip to Sydney...had a serious sunburnt, i don't think most of ya can immediately recognize me already...!! **Kev is feeling sad**

Alright, back to our main topic today, its about :"FAITH" !! This is kinda abstract thing to be believed in and yet it is so bizarre till we have to really admit its presence. This has to begin with a short story...During my last sem for BSc course few months ago, I had chosen an elective psychology course. I've managed to know Samantha (or Jou) as we had the same tutorial class. Just after the exam period, I've lost contact with her, without any hints on finding her back. Haa...

After few months later, I've got to know that Sam is actually SiewWei's cousin when we chat about her. Then, finally we had the chance to have a dinner together before Sam's departure back to M'sia. Somehow, Sam is also Ernest and Jess's best friend~~Haaa...the world is so small, all my friends are being linked to each other until we discover it slowly with time passes by...Therefore, we must always appreciate all our friends and everyone has to have commitment in keeping contact with each others and no taking for granted attitude is allowed!! Heee....


Italian Style @ Vino - Chicken pasta, Marinara Fettuccine and Fungi Risotto

All da munchiesssss....

Somehow, I managed to meet up another highschool classmate (ZiMing) who is now studying in NZ, came over to Brissy to visit JZ few days before. It was so coincidently to meet up with her when I went over to JZ place to have some chit-chat....haaaa...I really cherish those 'faith' that we have now and hope our friendships can last forever....Heee~ Take care pals, till then, will update more frequent from now onwards.

Cha Cha Char@ Riverside (30th Aug 07')

Harloooo...finally i get to have a short yet satisfied break after all the restless days and nights!! It will be a week off for all the uni students...but basically its just an assignment week for me to catch up with the remaining assignments...arhhh~ Headacheeee...!! Due to ah Joe's alarming reminder to update my bloggie, I decided to post up something that happened ages ago...haaa

Why are we working hard for these days? In order to 'survive', 'live' in these 'materialistic' world, blah blah...lots more reasons which could be important than that!! For me, I seriously think that its 'Live to EAT' reason....haaa~ Such a glutton me...yummy


Interior of ChaChaChar restaurant, award-winning fine-dining steakhouse

As you can see, that's the interior setting of the restaurant at Riverside, Brisbane city...It is situated at Eagle St. Pier where all those high-class and quality restaurants, pubs...hohoooo...It was also part of welcoming lunch for JJ's great friend, Adeline who is working as a pharmacist in Adelaide at the moment...Once she reached our place after a 4-hour flight, we just headed straight to the 'dream dining' place to satisfy our stomachs...


In-house deco...modernized art


Wagyu Rump - Grain fed cow


T-Bone - Grass fed calf


Scotch Fillet - Grain fed calf (Award-winning steak in Brisbane)

All 3 main courses were ordered to prepare in medium-rare, that's really ecstatic when you had your first bite! You can immediately feel the tenderness and natural flavour of the greatly char-grilled piece of creation...The beef wasn't hard and dry at all, it still retain the moist, matched superbly with the sauces and freshly-ground pepper...

Heee...its the most anticipating time for dessert-lovers like 3 of us...


Finger-licking good...Above: Chocolate Fondant; Down: Fresh Lemon Tart


Choc Fondant with Raspberries sorbet and choc puddings

The dessert were the lime-light of the day that put a well 'full-stop' for our 'taste-budding session'!! I really like the deco of those dessert, immediately spared a special space in our stomach to welcome these yummilicious 'after-meal delights'...


Happy mates (Adeline and JJ)

You're always welcome to come over to visit us more oftenly, Adeline...hehee!! Looking forward to go Adelaide next time to continue hunting my 'divine' food life...YEAH!!

For more info about the restaurant, please visit http://www.chachachar.com.au/home.html

Time to bed for now, so tired after working, hee! Somehow i feel hungry after seeing all these pics... **Kev is drooling~ Bye for now, folks, take care~!
