Conversations of Spring

When I bump into people lately, our usual conversations usually go like this...

Aussies:


"It's such a lovely spring day, isn't it!"


Asians:

"Shit wei, so damn hot!"

I am so dead this summer.

Fields of Gold

It was supposed to be spring last month but due to global warming, it still felt like winter. -_-. But now, every where is so pretty!!!

Ok this photo really doesn't do it justice. Just imagine the entire field filled with small yellow flowers like the ones below ok!

It's EVERYWHERE SERIOUSLY! By the pavement, by the field, by any empty land. =)

Even though it's Spring, it still gets pretty cold on certain days la. So you'll see people wearing jackets with shorts or something. So now Spring's my favourite season (cause can wear skirt again). Seriously you guys have no idea how fed up some of us were with wearing jeans only everyday for the past 4 months. T.T

<3 Sue for bringing this over!

Reason #1 for loving Clayton campus. Free ice cream! This is a really unglam shot of everyone but I like it cause it's so candid. And it really does show how mad the weather in Melbourne can be. Sunny yet insanely windy = very high UV and you get sunburnt without realising it because it's so cold.

When I told my brother that I got to try Ben and Jerry's, he said : "So? We have, Paddlepop, Mat Kool, Nestle, Walls!". -.-

Reason #2 for loving Clayton campus. They had this pizza session for all of the chemistry students as a way to thank us for being "cooperative in the lab". LOL. They even gave out prizes for the best students for each chemistry unit. So motivating! BTW, the lecturers here really take the effort to know the names of everyone that is in their lab. As if that would ever happen in Sunway. Pffft. They do not allow us to call them Dr *insert name*. They'll say "Just call me *insert name eg Mike*.

This Xiang Ting was so engrossed in her pizza that she didn't hear her name being called out at all. HAHAHA.

Nah, this is how my lab looks like, Mum!

Sze Min looks so happy.

Aussie pizza, which is essentially just, ham, cheese and an egg on top. LOL. I think this is the only food that is truly Aussie (that I can think of right now anyway).

Camwhoring with my camera. Tsk tsk.

On the very few occasions that we dress up, we science students can clean up pretty well eh? Thanks for the lovely time, everybody! <3

Welcome to Fatty Land

Mooncake Festival in a foreign land. Mooncakes, chocolate cake and a good old game of Taboo. =)

We went to Mart 130 today! Corn fritters with grilled bacon and some sauce.

Grilled bacon with poached eggs and avocado sauce.

Salmon.

Yea, damn I look like a fat china doll now. O_O.

Later that night, dark chocolate mud cake at Vanilla @ Oakleigh (yea you can actually get pretty awesome food there!). Wow, this shot turned out pretty nice!

Large fruit tart. The crust and the cheese was ultra yummy!


So much garden salad that I won't have any trouble in the toilet at all man. =D.

Okay, I shall lose weight when I get back to Malaysia!
