Credit Union Christmas Pageant 2011- Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Credit Union Christmas Pageant 2011- Part 1

Yesterday was the day Adelaide was packed with people and filled with colours! It’s the annual Credit Union Christmas Pageant. I woke up early just to make sure I’ll catch it. It’s a good thing I live in the city and the parade was just down at the end of the street I’m living.


So many people! Quite hard to find a spots. People already there since early in the morning to reserve a spot. I managed to squeeze into a spot, good thing for being small ;p


See! So many people, young and old. Everywhere! It was a really hot day! The sun was notorious!

I have quite a number of videos to share with you, here’s some photos:

Waited since 9.30am, finally the parade reached King William Street at 10am+. However, I could only watch it until 10.45am because I need to go back to prepare to go to work which started at 11.30am. The police riding bicycle cleared the street to make way for the parade. Then those on horses followed, you’ll get to see horses on the street late at night in Adelaide, the police is using it to patrol the city. I was so sakai when I first saw it one night ;p

I’ll let the photos do the talking.



More to come…

Today’s date is unique! 11.11.11. Posting this for the sake of posting something hahaha…

This week is busy, coming weeks should be quite busy too. My study period is ending in less than a month! Exam early December. WOW! One last study period to go and I’m done with my program. Haven’t decide to continue or not because haven’t get any reply about the schorlarship.

I didn’t realize today is 11.11.11 because I don’t even know what’s the date today until this afternoon. A friend of mine told me today is the day dedicated to singletons (us) out there and I was like “huh?!?!”. Then he explained and told me today’s date then I realized *LOL* Talking about being so blur these days.

I’m sure lots of wedding today going on back home. At least found out a friend got engaged today. She’s so much younger than me, even younger than my sister! Nowm she’s engaged! Make me feel sooooo stress hahaha…

Anyway, going to sleep soon as need to wake up tomorrow for the Credit Union Christmas Pageant. My first time seeing such event. Christmas decorations are up around Adelaide already, haven’t get the chance to take photos of it yet but will do so tomorrow. How time flies…

Good night!

Spring in Adelaide

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Spring in Adelaide

I’m sure you know I’m slacking in updating, haven’t even complete the fashion show post! Summer is almost here already! Didn’t post anything about spring in Adelaide and now it’s ending! Irene is getting lazier ;p


Anyway, here you go… Views at The Botanic Gardens. Went there after my exam to clear my mind. It was way back in October! More than month ago. Went there alone. What to do? No one to go with.


My first time there was during autumn. Went there on my own but did not venture the whole place. The second time was with a friend. It was in autumn too.


My third time, in Spring. Lots more to see, more flowers blooming and more colourful. It was so happening when I went there, people having picnics all over the place.

We’ll see what to update for my next post *blek* Meanwhile, don’t forget to visit irenelaw.com because I’ll have some photos of the flowers posted in the next few weeks which were taken at the garden.

Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector

Bought Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector with spa water and botanical extract from Sasa.

In Kuching, I seldom blow dry my hair or apply heat to it. Here… I have to blow dry every single time after washing my hair, can’t let it air dry because it’s too cold! I figure I have to get something to protect my hair from the almost daily blow drying. So decided to get Kose Salon Style Precious Head Spa Heat Damage Protector during my Sasa spree. It cost me USD8.80.

The smell was nice. The after effect was impressing. My hair is more manageable after using it. It felt softer too. Sometimes I applied a bit to my dry hair to tame some flyaways. Not sticky or oily at all. I do recommend this, it’s quite reasonably priced too. Don’t have to use a lot.

Oh, it’s made in Japan in case you’re wondering.

Evergreen Restaurant

This happened on 20/10/2011, hehehe… Only post now coz it’s in my phone.

Went for dinner with 3 friends at Evergreen Restaurant located at 31 Moonta St. It’s a seafood dinner. I didn’t pay for it though, one of my friends treated us.


Left: Menu.
Right: Cucumber, mu-er, and jelly fish in chili and sweet sour sauce ($7.80), hmm… Not spicy at all but quite refreshing.


Left: Seafood and bean curd soup ($4.20/bowl), we ordered portion for four people. Can’t remember the taste ;p

Right: Fish fillet with pickled cabbage ($15.80). I quite like this because I like pickled cabbage. Remind me to stock some during my next grocery shopping.


Left: Stir fried green vegetables ($8.80), nothing much with this, it’s just stir fried vegetables, what do you expect? Hahaha…

Right: Special of the day, steamed fish head chopped with chilli pepper ($10, if I recall correctly, normal price is not this price, they have different dish on special each day), couldn’t eat much of the meat, fish head, that’s why. It’s quite salty. I don’t quite like this dish. Don’t be fool by the look, not spicy at all.

Overall, the dishes were so-so. Not much to rave about. Price wise, it’s quite standard for an eatery located in Chinatown.

That’s all for today. Sunday is coming, one week is ending! GOSH! So fast! Been quite busy the past few days, spent most of my time at uni doing assignments coz I just can’t stand doing them at home, that explains few days of no update hehehe… In fact, spent whole afternoon in the computer pool today too streaming TV series while doing assignment ;p Will do so again tomorrow.

Summer is around the corner and today is my first time wearing a sleeveless blouse out without any scarf/jumper/jacket ever since I’m in Adelaide. It feels like the weather in Malaysia now.

That’s all for the time being. Will update again soon.
