Category: Finding Myself – Adelaide

My journey in discovering myself in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia while fulfilling my dream to study overseas.

Under the Weather

Posted on November 10, 2012November 18, 2012 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Under the Weather

Feel so under the weather sigh…

I’m feeling very angry. Sad, yes, but more anger than sadness. Why oh why always such things happened to me?

I know I should feel relief that I’m being let go now than later so that I can start my hunt again earlier. It started fast and ended fast too. Still, I’m really pissed. Even though we are still friends, I’m still angry for the fact that I’m being given with false hopes and expectations even though I know it’s not on purpose and in fact I had expected it to happen too. Yes, see how nice and kind I still am even though people had wronged me. All my plans just went down the drain and have to start all over again. Also, because of that, I felt like I’m a football now being kicked from one place to another. Supposed to not worry about anything but now have to worry about my life for the next few months being a nomad and it had became uncertain.

I thought that I’ve finally found the right one, has everything I need, perfect! Too bad, what made it failed was the other party’s heart isn’t completely ready. I know I should move on and let go but I just can’t help it. Time will heal for sure just that it’s not now. The wound is still very raw especially after you had put in all that you have into it.

Some more, it happened when I stopped looking for love. Instantly I agreed with the saying “don’t look for love allow it to find you”. It made me believed there’s true love again but now it made me even more skeptical with such theory.

Also, it taught me that one shouldn’t believe the other person’s promises or commitments to you in the early stage, should wait at least 6 months or so to be proven. For my case, everything changed in just 2 months! How fast is that??!?! Tell me! How to trust again?

Seriously, no one had ever made me feel that I am myself, I don’t have to act, and provide me with all the securities I’ve been looking for. This is the only one who made me feel this way. So you see… It’s really not easy. We both tried hard to make it work but too bad, the other person gave up first.

On the other note, I guess it happened because two of us was way too lonely that time and it progressed just like that until one woke up from the dream realizing that it’s not it. Yet, the other one had progressed to believe that it is something certain. That’s why the latter felt so much hurt.

I’m still angry! Grrr… Angry with myself too for allowing it to happen.

It sucks big time to feel this way. 🙁

I know, in the future, I will look back and laugh about how silly I am now. Then again… Please allow me to be negative for now. It’s just part of the process to get me back on my feet.

Another Chapter Ends

Posted on November 6, 2012November 18, 2012 By sweet surrender No Comments on Another Chapter Ends

So, there it is. What thought to be true love and the one is no longer what it was.

End of another chapter, very short but sweet. I appreciate every moment of it.

It hurts but what to do? What’s yours will be yours no matter what.

The Original Pancake Kitchen

Posted on October 12, 2012October 13, 2012 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on The Original Pancake Kitchen

I’m back in Kuching but not yet eaten any kolo mee or laksa ;p

Anyway, I have many pending posts from Adelaide. The Original Pancake Kitchen is so near my place but I’ve never been there until more than a year later hehehe… It’s located at 13 Gilbert Place at Hindley Street. It’s opened 24 hours a day.


Went there with my friends for supper. So far I’ve been there 3 times, almost one time a week. However, be warned that it will take a long time for your food to come and service can be bad (at least according to many people) but I’m lucky to have not meet any bad service from them.


Tried these two only even though I’ve been there 3 times.
Left: German Feast (AUD14.50), must be shared with another person unless you’re an extremely huge eater. Delectable German Kranski sausage, two fried eggs, bacon, girlled tomato accompanied with two buttermilk pancakes, whipped butter and maple syrup. I quite like this. Not bad.

Right: Brandied Apricots (AUD12.50 if not mistaken), two buttermilk pancakes topped with brandy soaked Apricots and finished with cream or ice cream . Had this with my German friend on her birthday. Extremely sweet! I don’t have sweet tooth so I’ll just try this once and that’s it. Must eat the apricot with the pancake. If you attempt to eat the apricot alone then it will be a bit hard to eat.

Since the portion is big, you can share and it won’t cost you too much. I’ll definitely go back there simply because it’s cheap and located near my place, and the food isn’t too bad.

Here’s final post of the fashion show.





See you in Kuching!

Now… What should I do in Kuching? Supposed to have a lot to do and now still don’t know what I should do apart from having fun. Should I go ahead with the skill assessment and IELTS (don’t have much time to prepare -.-“)?

Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2012 – Part 2

Posted on October 6, 2012 By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2012 – Part 2

More from Rundle Mall Spring/Summer Fashion Parades 2012. I’m just lazy hehehe… Actually also busy packing and settle some stuffs before going home. Also, very confused and lost now with the changes I found out on PR application. Either forget about it or go for it and apply to get Canberra to sponsor me. There’s so much things need to be considered especially monetary wise if going to Canberra. Yes, money can be earned back but I don’t even have the initial money needed to start from scratch in Canberra. Sigh…

Anyway, enjoy the photos.






One more post to come.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
