The most expensive purchase in my life!

Ford Fiesta 2012 ($16797.01)

Signed the deal on 30 March 2013. Was actually priced at $16888 and the best price they could give was $16797.01
Ask any Singaporean if i should buy this car, and no one told me not to buy. Simply cos you will not be able to get any decent car with this amount. Anyway, this is gonna be my travel buddy during my stay in Melbourne.... Looking forward to bringing it for road trips!

Port Melbourne to Sandringham (3 Dec 2011)

First time joining a walk. Thought its going to be tough having to socialise with the ang mos. But it turn out differently from how i expected. The people are nice, and its surprising that we kinda talked throughout the walk. What we did was as u walk, u will have different pple next to you. And pple just talk. This guy in the group was really interesting. He works with autistic kids. He was telling us how autistic kids play with toys, and they are more concern about mechanical movement. Autistic kids in general have bigger brains, and are much more logical in their thinking. He was saying that the difference in boys and gals start to diverge at age 5. But as we grow older, both genders start to converge..... Its interesting..... Overall, i like the walk even though i was one of the last few to finish. It was a good walk. Took lots of photos to upload.... Its really an enjoyment. i saw many nice houses too.... Its just in front of the beach. So shiok. makes me wanna work hard so that i can buy one in front.Thinking if i should go for the 1000 steps walk next Sunday..... Kinda doubt my stamina.... lets see how much i ache tomorrow. Hahaha....

Products from Singapore

went grocery shopping on 26 Nov.... and i bought products from singapore.... they look so familiar and safe to eat.... hahaha..... "Safe to eat" cos singapore products are afterall hometown products. and they give this sense of familiarity w the health symbols, etc.... Well, next week gonna try cooking mackarel with the sinsin salt soya beans and chilli. believe it will taste good.... this weekend without landlord's folks is good. less noise, and i can cook more freely.... can cook food that i want to eat without worrying about whether to cook for them also. Cos sometimes scared cook for them then they dun eat, and i got to eat myself....  Next week gonna try frying egg noodles.... put chicken, mushrooms, eggs, vegetables.......

A day of feast....

Been wanting to make pizza for almost 1 whole week.... Finally got to doing it.... Bought the ingredients yesterday when i went grocery shopping.... woke up this morn, and started chopping the ingredients.... kinda feel i should have made 1 more pizza before throwing all the remaining ingredients into my pasta..... maybe i can make baked pasta next week..... shall go get some tin foil..... problem with this pizza is the centre part was a bit soggy... wonder where the water came from.... Regardless, it still taste fabulous...


Bought this sambal chilli from a nearby Asian grocery shop.... and decided to use it to cook sambal fish using basa fillet. Was skeptical about whether how nice it will turn out. but apparently the chilli is really good. can consider making wanton noodles with it next week.... Drools.... feel like cooking it once more tomorrow for dinner.....



Tea was sesame dumpling with ginger soup..... this morning when i cooked, i thought the weather is nice for ginger soup. But apparently the sun came out later in the day..... and the weather was not v nice to drink ginger tea.... Shall try again next weekend.... I am 3-4 days away from summer..... can faint soon when there is no aircon.....

15 Nov 2011 (1st paycheck)

the beauty of working in Melbourne has just shown itself nicely in my bank account today.... there in my account is an amount that i can never earn in a month when i was in singapore. Now, i can earn it over here..... I think its great, and I'm loving it.... glad i made the decision to come. but the figure looks weird. kinda feel they overpaid me. shall see the next month salary.... I am looking forward to 15 December!!!!!

Wine for the week 21 Nov 2011

now that i got my pay, I can drink wine that is a bit more expensive. bought this from Dan Murphy the other day. and started drinking it today. Its nice and pretty easy to drink. lets see how long this bottle will last me. On average, 1 bottle last about 1 week. I am going to be an alcoholic. Come Melbourne and be alcohlic cum gambler.... this saturday might be going for test drive with landlord. Kinda cant make up my mind on whether to buy or not too..... But i can sense that "she" is kinda getting tired fetching me after work. Well, pray i get a good car, with no hidden itineraries in it..... Ti Gong Ma por bi por bi ah...... dun let me buy a lousy car with lots of repair works or even worse. Stolen car....

$14.60
