Intense Week

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Intense Week

What an intense week!

Exam on Monday night. Wrote till my pinky finger blister! Can you believe that? Hahaha… Don’t ask me why that finger, I myself got no idea also and was surprised by it.

Then, rushed to get my assignment done. Thought I finally got it done on Friday night, so happy! Who knows… My lecturer finally replied my e-mail on Friday night, few minutes before midnight, regarding things that I asked her 2 days ago and I found out I’m not doing what she wants. GOSH! It’s due on Monday. So I had to redo it, luckily the research I did for the past 3 weeks still can be used to certain extent. So I spent about 6 hours in uni to do it on Saturday. First time did my assignment till 10pm. Then, today, skipped church and went to uni to continue again. Finally finish it after 5 hours of playing games and researching ;p Not the best, not that satisfied with it but at least I’m almost on the right track as there are still some parts which I had difficulty incorporating into the assignment. Oh well… At least not as bad as the original one that I did. Hopefully I can get at least a Credit. Guess another Distinction gone…

Also, on the personal front. I decided to clean up my act for a new chapter. I felt bad and guilty for one whole week. Finally I broke the news and still feel a bit bad. Maybe it’s not a big deal but it’s just me, I’m such a kind girl and I’m so afraid to hurt people especially in breaking a bad news.

Hopefully my life will change to a positive direction and this will determine where I will be in my future. Hoping for the best. I have about half year plus here only. Gonna try to apply for PR here for sure.

That’s all for now. Another busy week coming. Next week class will start again. No break at all. At least I’ll be in Brisbane this coming 22 July-25 July for a long deserved holiday.

Half year almost gone… Take care!

Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop

Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, our final destination for our Barossa Valley trip. We had to drive through very bad road to reach here because my friend’s GPS told him to use this way hahaha… So funny.

They came here for the ice cream! *LOL*


Two big pumpkins at the entrance. You can even sample the products.



From fruits to wines to sauces to cookies and more!


This is the said ice-cream. There’s many floavours but my friend recommended us this. Very nice indeed. Not cheap too, small container costs about almost AUD4.


Left: The sun was setting, very nice view behind the shop.
Rigth: On the way home.

That’s the end of the autumn trip. It’s winter now! Brrrr… Getting cold. Actually, it’s already cold ;p

RIP My Sony Ericsson K800i?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on RIP My Sony Ericsson K800i?


After more than 5 years going through all the ups and downs with me, finally my Sony Ericsson is official dead in Adelaide last few weeks ago. It’s my very first mobile phone using my own money to buy.

In fact, it already had problem when I was in Korea, had trouble charging it but after a few restarts it would work. It’s been on and off like this until finally last few weeks, it could no longer be charged. I thought it’s my battery problem so I bougth a new battery but after using the new battery for a week, when it’s time to charge, same thing happened.

So that’s the end of my SE K800i. The best part of this phone was its camera. The sound system was quite good too actually.

Oh wait… Think I’ve found some solutions to it, gonna try it after exam to see whether it works or not 😉

Opsss… No update

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Opsss… No update

Hehehe… No update lately. I’ve been pretty busy with asssignments, exam preparations, and also hanging out with friends.

Exam will be next Monday. Then, one final assignment due one week later, luckily for extension. However, it’s not an easy one. Very confusing assignment.

In the mean time, I think there’s a potential. I think I must trust my gut this time but at the same time I’m quite confused and afraid as I might loss one for another even though the former has got no future at all. Sigh… I kind of enjoying the fun but at the same time, I want the stability. I really don’t want to burn any bridge here 🙁 Maybe it’s not as bad as I thought but with the situation, it’s quite hard to not think negatively.

Anyway, concentrate on exam first.

Barossa Valley Autumn 2012 – Part 2

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Barossa Valley Autumn 2012 – Part 2

After lunch, we went to Saltram which is known for its No. 1 Shiraz.

There was a wedding going on that day.


Not only that, this place was quite packed too with people tasting and buying wine.

After that, we headed to Two Hands Wines.

No free tasting here. You have to pay, AUD5 and they will let you taste the range of wine they have and even its olive oil. You get to sit there and people will come pour you the wine and explain them to you.


The wine we tasted but I only tasted a few which I was interested, sharing with my friend because I got no intention to try more. Had been wine tasting the whole day.


Left: The wine glass.

Right: Wine portfolio.


Left: The most expensive wine and I ;p It’s 2009 Ares Shiraz (AUD165/bottle). Hmmm… To me, it’s just wine. However, it’s doesn’t suit my taste. It was a bit of let down in general.

Right: The best olive oil ever! McLaren Vale Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s not cheap too. AUD25/bottle. Looks like wine bottle and can be mistaken as wine if you didn’t pay attention.


Left: The two most expensive wine. Tried both. Prefer the one on the right. The one on the left is 2009 Ares Shiraz.

Right: The sweetest wine I ever had, Barossa Valley Cane Cut Semillon 2009 (AUD35). It’s very syrupy. Great for drizzling on desserts instead of just drinking it on its own. Also I think it’s great for mixing drinks too.

There you go… The journey of out food and wine tour. One more to go and that’s the end of it for now.
