One Last Option Gone?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on One Last Option Gone?

🙁 My one last option to get state sponsorship for PR is gone! My occupation is taken out of the list! Thought can go back now and get the ball rolling for the application but can’t do anything for now.

So… What should I do next? Plan A gone, plan B gone, plan C also gone. Now, what’s plan D? It’s really not easy to get PR here these days.

Now, I’m back to square one. So… Is it fated that I’m gonna stuck in Malaysia for the rest of my life?

*SHRUG*

I guess the final option would mean have to get someone to sponsor me but this is not an easy decision.

*HEADACHE**SNEEZE**SNIFF* Hay fever… ARG!

Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2012 – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2012 – Part 1

It’s October already and I’ll be home next week! Exactly one week from now!

As usual, the annual Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades was on 2 weekends ago.

Usually I would be very eager to catch it but this time I didn’t really bother.


I just decided to go to the mall to do window shopping even though I was aware of it. I was rather angry with someone for leaving me in Adelaide and went off to Melbourne for the weekend. I made up my mind to throw my Brisbane-Adelaide flight ticket (resulted from wrongly booked ticket ;p) away months back so that we can spend time together but ended up… Oh well… I’ll make sure he’ll make it up for me.


Anyway, just sharing some of the collections.



Still more to come.

Mandoo

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Mandoo

WOW! It’s been awhile since my last update. So much things going on. I’m still not recovered from all the events.

Mandoo is a shop selling Korean dumpling dishes. Mandoo means dumpling in Korean. It’s located at Bank Street. Went there quite a long time ago. The photos were in my phone and only got transferred to my computer yesterday hehehe…

We ordered steamed dumpling (AUD11.99) and fried dumpling (AUD12.99). Don’t remember the meat basically we had pork and chicken.

Left: Dumpling soup (AUD12.99). The soup is fish stock, there’s rice cake, egg, and vegetables.
Right: Pickled cucumber and homemade sauce. The sauce looked spicy but in fact it’s sweet and sour.

Overall, price wise is pretty steep and I personally don’t like how it’s priced with the 0.99 at the end of it, I don’t mind it in supermarket but in eatery? I just don’t see the point! It just serve no purpose at all when everything in the menu is priced with 0.99 at the end of the price. Taste wise, it’s just so-so.

Going back? No, unless it’s people’s treat.

I Graduated!

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on I Graduated!

Finally the result is out! Was so worried that I might fail. It was better than expected as I just hoped for a pass!

YAY! That’s it, 1 1/2 year. How time flies. What should I do next?

I’ll enjoy my holiday for now. Going home in less than 3 weeks! Rather scary thinking of my future.

That’s all for now. So tired. All I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep. Finally a relief. Had been worrying for 2 weeks!
