My Recipe of Joy & Excitement in Melbourne


As every Melbournite would admit, this city is filled with excitement that is ever-changing, has 4 beautiful seasons that constantly change the panorama of this city. I am thrilled to reside in such an exquisite environment that allows me to colour my life with wonderful memories...


Here's my recipe of joy & excitement in Melbourne...

A bucketful of birthday celebrations,
A table of French, Italian, Belgian, Malaysian, Balinese, Japanese, Chinese & Thai cuisines (phew.. what a mouthful), 
A tablespoonful of mind games and "killer",
A teaspoonful of road trips,
A sip of shopping,
A pinch of sight-seeing and beach-ambling,
A cup of house-warming,
A bowl of potluck / potbless & bbq,
A plate of movies at a grand cinema,
A mug of "boom-boom" & fireworks,
A bottle of sleepover,
A can of karaoke,
A pan of personally cooked (and some invented) homemade dishes.
Lastly, a tumbler of warm company of friends.

Another teaspoonful of who I am

I am...

an addict to fascinating novels & movie series,
an admirer of the characters Bella Swan & Edward Cullen,
an aficionado of soft music,
a bossy commander when playing army games with my brothers,
a cheerless crier while watching sad and touching scenes of a movie,
a coward of riding on a bike as a passenger,
a crazy partner when playing pc games, monopoly and any other board games that you can name,
a creative artist in designing anything once my inspiration comes,
a dependable and trustworthy buddy to all my pals,
a dreamer who dreams much and will strive my hardest to achieve them,
an enthusiast of watching airplanes landing and taking off,
a fan of all spicy foods, especially curry,
a 'fragile glass' who breaks down easily under uncontrollable, heart-breaking circumstances,
a good laughing hyena when listening to hot jokes,
a good Nescafe maker,
a helpless person who will cease to exist in the extinction of love & care,
a loud howler whether a team goals in a football match or not,
a lovable and disturb-able sis to all my big-bad-cousins,
a lover of lavender and champagne rose,
a magnet to the phenomenon of falling down the stairs (i guess it's my nature),
a monstrous sis to my 2 little brothers (or so i feel),
a passionate explorer in searching for delicious food,
a precious stone in my father's eyes,
a quiet listener to all who spills their secrets into my valley of hush-hushes,
a strong anti against smoking and pubs.
a sweet pea to my Mr. right-to-be (fate depending),
a talkative complainer to all things that don't seem right to me (but am trying to talk less now),
a timid mouse who is frightened of watching anything that is scary,
a true believer of God and Jesus Christ,
a warm companion in my mother's world.

Call me Silly

Remembering the interesting things i did in my past, just because of a silly child's curiosity:

- putting my finger on a hot iron plate and hurt myself


- tasting a little of the soap water but felt regretful of doing it


- drinking coffee with salt instead of sugar (it tasted ok anyway)


- carrying a gigantic watermelon just to see if i was strong, ended up breaking it when it slipped from my little arms and dropped onto the floor. (obviously, i wasn't strong enough)

- putting make-ups on my soft toys using magic pens just to see them looking like circus clowns



- drinking a mouthful of 70% alcohol content wine so quick that it burnt my throat (that was my 1st time drinking wine)

- knocking my fist on a wall just to see how painful it is, and finally ended up crying over spilt milk

- cutting a rock with scissors and broke 1 of the 2


I had a nice time laughing while writing this. Hope you enjoyed laughing about it too!!
Anyway, they were all true... ^^
