Rainbow Beach@Sunshine Coast - Part 2

Harlo harlo, its a sunny yet windy day! Everyone out there is so actively doing outdoor sports, which makes me feel envious! Aikks, you have to sacrifice in order to get something you dream of, right? Hope my leg recovers ASAP and I will get to go outside and have fun like others do!!


Like a piece of ART, don't you think so?

Yeap, let me continue our roadtrip to the ever-beautiful rainbow beach at sunshine coast! Just after our lunch at KinKin hotel, Issac has decided to pull himself off from the trip for safety reason and PW's bro - Wei Jian has volunteered himself to accompany Issac all the way back to Brissy...Wah, such a great housemate huh (Issac, WeiJian, PW and Belle are staying under the same roof).


KinKin Country Life Hotel...Get some beer, mates?


The Aussie Choppers!!

So, here we go, 2 rented cars left to continue our adventure! There were 4 pessengers (KF, KF's dad, Ernest and PW) in my car along the way to rainbow beach. The three huge piggies were dozing off at the back and 'keep asking' me to join them into their 'amazing' dreams~ Luckily KF's dad was beside me to discuss all the funny stories in car learning center, now I know lotsa secrets!! **JPJ, you ain't that good...whaahah!!** XD

After a straight 2 hours of drive, we finally made it to the well-known beach!!




That's the Pacific Ocean, but where's the bikinis?! :P


No bikinis but monkeys JUMPING!!!

We got to know another main tourist spot from the locals there, its called the SandBlow~~

Just like a dessert~


Nice dusk view from the SandBlow...

All of us just fooling around, playing the multicoloured sands...yeah, this is the best appreciation ever...listening to the wind blowing sound and watching the sky getting dark gradually!!


Can't get to go there? Just 'CLICK' it....hehe!!


Cute cloud doggy, see that?!

Yea, that's our 1day trip to Sunshine coast...KF's dad is also a great food eater as he knows lots of places with yummy food...Its so nice to have such yummilicious and mouth-watering conversations with him along the way back to Brissy!!

Alright, time for Ernest and I to cook a feast for friends as they are coming over to our place to have dinner later...have to get myself prepared !! Cya folks, have a great weekend!

Love,

Rainbow Beach@Sunshine Coast - Part 1

Aloha all, its 2nd of Apr today!! Arh, it signifies that my assign's due date is approaching...can someone please help me out with that? Hee...being a lazy and procrastinating young lad (I'm still young, right?), gotta keep myself more organized this sem...

Oh ya, the Easter break has just passed, some of you would wonder what have I done during the holidays...The answer is ---> Assignment Week!! But, I did manage to escape from the boredom and went over for a road trip up north to Sunshine Coast with gang of friends on 22nd March 08'...woohooo!! I want to see sunshine and bikinis....:-P !!




3 Awesome cars to 'send' us to the paradise... Issac's Mitsubishi Lancer, Nissan Tiida & Hyundai Elantra (both rented from Europcar)

Our trip route was going up north via M1 highway then connected to Bruce Highway straight to Rainbow Beach. For your info, M1 highway is Australia's coastal highway joining Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria states. It needs to drive for 1000km from Brisbane to Sydney by using this stretch of highway. The 1st stop was the Glasshouse Mountains Point Lookout. The Glasshouse Mountains consist of 5 major peaks.


Glasshouse Mountains Point Lookout...


Ernest and I with the highest peak among Glasshouse Mountains

But, things turned bad when Issac's car had a gearbox failure and we were trapped in the middle of jungle. KF's dad, who is an experienced instructor for car learning center, has tried his best to get the car driving to the nearest town to seek for mechanic.


The anxious Issac...What is he going to do?


The agony of every roadtrip

We reached a small town named Kin Kin and managed to get the local mechanic to get the car fixed. It was 2pm and everyone has yet to have some food to keep the stomach silent, so we decided to stop by and had our lunch. Kin Kin is little town where we can sample the farmlife pictures...Mooo...lots of separated farms with sheep and cow herds...


Ernest, KF, HW, Belle and I with herds of cow...

As a gluttony and always hunger for more, awesome food will always on the eating list...


Special pork chop berger with chips...


Beer-battered Fish & Chips with garden salad and homemade Tar-Tar dipping sauce


All the hungry munchies...


The comparison between 'BIG' & 'SMALL'....Delicious!!

Arh, looking at the yummy and attractive food photos, my stomach starts growling for food! Time for lunch here, then have to continue to work on my assignments!! I will be back for part 2 as soon as possible, so please stay tune...Catch ya later~~ Have a wonderful day!

Love,

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...

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,

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~~
