New Chapter In Melbourne!

Melbourne! Melbourne! Melbourne!

I have been in Clayton, Melbourne since last Friday, 13th Feb. Weather in Melb is sunny and windy at the same time. It's quite nice for outing. However, it's quite dry and my lips cracked and bleed when I first arrive. That's horrible.
Luckily, it gets better as I am getting used to the weather. Drinking plenty, applying sun screen and lip gloss should be the key to battle against dryness and sunburns.

People here are really friendly and helpful. They even ask me if I need any help for direction when seeing me looking at the map with a confused look. Yeap.. That's me! Sometimes, I'm totally clueless which direction I am facing or walking. I have really weak sense of direction. But hey, I made it through now. HAHA!

Below are the places I went during my first few days in Melbourne. ( I didn't really have the time to snap many photos.)

Flinders Street Station


You can see this everywhere in the city.


I stay in Richardson Halls. The room is bigger than what I expected. It's pretty good though:p

Chinese New Year!!! Moo...

Happy Chinese New Year!!!
What a fantastic week of chinese new year! I really had a lot of fun;p I'm so grateful as I was able to meet my long-no-see old friends. I enjoyed 'berbopek' with them. Haha!
And here is my brief Chinese New Year chronology....

Before Chinese New Year.....
I baked many trays of chocolate chips cookies, coconut biscuits and cornflake biscuits. Baking cookies and biscuits is one of my expertise now XD ..

-- Coconut Biscuits --
(My masterpiece >.<)

Oh ya, there is another tibits loved by the Chinese.. Fried thin-sliced arrow head ( 'Shu Ku Chai' ). I was so obsessed doing it. My mom and I fried KGs of arrow heads.

During Chinese New Year.....
As usual, relatives and friends came for visiting. It is always so happening. Maybe it is because of the popular activity during CNY (in Malaysia)... GAMBLING!!


Secondary school friends;)


Anna, Vivien and Yen Vi!!
Anna, That's the best I can do. Hehe... (Gorgeous eyes?)


Yoke San and Yin Ho were playing SPEED (fast & exciting game).
Loud screams and laughters were heard (mainly from Yoke San;p)


More is yet to come....
