Pho Minh

Typo in the image, ignore it ;p should be “Pho” not “Poh”.

I’ve been hearing about the famous Vietnamese beef noodle for so many times but never had the opportunity to try it.

Finally got the chance to try it out few weeks ago. Went to the Vietnamese restaurant at Mansfield Park (Shop 7/86 Wilson Street). Ordered small combination noodle soup, it was $10, but it’s HUGE! There’s Rare Beef, Rib, Tendon, Tripe, Beef Ball, and Intercostal meat in it. However, I could finish it, at first I thought I couldn’t.


These are the things to accompany the dish. A lot!

Was told that this place serves the best pho in Adelaide. The broth is sweet, unlike our beef soup noodle back home. I think it was good. No wonder it’s so popular. So… This will be the benchmark for other pho that I’ll have in Adelaide next time.

Over…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Over…

Yes, finally it’s over. Whatver had been bugging me for months is over. It’s sad that it didn’t go as I want to but at least I’m feeling much lighter now.

Now I know I must move on. There’s so much out there, shouldn’t waste my time crying over spilt milk. So yea… Very very much lighter now even though still need some time to recover but I’m sure I will be up on my feet again very soon.

Concentrate on my assignments and work first. Then the adventure will begin again…

I’m Sooo Screwed…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on I’m Sooo Screwed…

Matter is getting a bit too much for me to handle now. My sixth sense is always very accurate, most of the time my dreams are telling me something which are very straight forward, no need to decipher at all. Yet, I always don’t want to believe them, always think that maybe I’m just thinking too much. In fact, I don’t have to think at all, they’ll always just popped out of nowhere in my mind and it would keep playing in my mind until the truth came out.

It sucks when you thought that you are doing the right thing but at the end you realized that opportunity had just slipped away. Everytime when it’s here, I didn’t appreciate it or grab it soon enough. I always like to analyze the situation from every aspect. Once I sorted them out, the opportunity is gone! Instead if I leap into it now, it might just ruin everything and just makes matter worst. I don’t know… Sigh… Time is running out for sure. It’s not the first time, when will I learn??!?! I’m very piss with myself now. I’m so screwed!

Adelaide Himeji Garden

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Adelaide Himeji Garden

Had the opportunity to visit Adelaide Himeji Garden for the first time after hearing so much about it. This is where I dropped my phone because I was attempting to hold my camera and my phone at the same time and loss grip of my phone. It fell hard on the ground full of pebbles!

The Adelaide Himeji Garden was built to symbolise the bonds of friendship between the City of Adelaide and the Himeji Region of Japan. It was opened on 3 April 1985.

The Adelaide City Council resolved in 1982 to make a symbolic garden which might help the people of Adelaide to understand the culture of the Japanese. Osmond Gardens on South Terrace was chosen as the site, as it is easily accessible and contains many fine trees, although not all of them are native to Japan.

The Garden blends two classic styles. the ‘senzui’ (lake and mountain garden) where the imagination endows the small pond with vastness and grandeur. The second is the ‘kare senzui’ (dry garden) where rocks and sand evoke the presence of water, even the sea itself


Left: The garden is so nice… Can’t wait for Spring to see sakura blossoms! Don’t have to go to Japan for it anymore. However, I wonder will it be packed by people by then.

Right: Saw this very colourful bird.


The ‘senzui’ (lake and mountain garden).


The ‘kare senzui’ (dry garden).



The weather was so nice that day, must take photo! ;p It’s winter mind you but the sun was so nice. However, later in the afternoon it started to get cold.


It’s a very small garden. We found out that wedding photography is not allowed. However, we saw a couple went there for their wedding photography. I guess they don’t allow it is because it might spoil the tranquility or the qi of the garden which was supposed to be a peaceful quiet place.

Hmm… I wonder the architectures found here use anything related to adhesive dispensing systems, meter mix and dispense, or liquid metering.

Definitely will go back during Spring.

LUS V Line Extra Lift Up

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on LUS V Line Extra Lift Up

Last month I was invited to review new products from Korea. I happily accepted it as having a “V” face is something many Taiwanese and Korean celebrities talk about every single time in many beauty TV shows. Since the distributor in Malaysia is willing to send it all the way from Malaysia to Australia for me to try the product, why not?

Today, I’m going to review the first product called LUS V Line Extra Lift Up. Say bye bye to chubby cheeks and double chin! Com’on, let’s face it, once we aged, our skin will sag, so your “V” face will become “U” face which I have been noticing on myself. That’s why I am very excited when I’m being asked to review this product. I want my “V” face back!


Left: The box consists of 7 mask sheets + 1 Neoprene. The NEOPRENE band included helps to create a clear chin line by pressing on the meridian points on under the chin that affect the aging of skin. The mask itself delivers 2 actions:-
Action 1: Self Heating – helps to burn away those excess fat under your chin
Action 2: Skin Firming – contains intensive collagen that restores the elasticity of your skin

Right: It’s a bit hard to use but once you got the hang of it, it’s quite easy. It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to use it *LOL* Since my face is quite small, that’s how it looks like. Even though I have small face, the band can still be used by me so no worries at all for those with small face like me. You know how difficult for people like us to use facial mask as usually it’s too big for our face ;p I looked so ugly in it! Hahaha…


In case you’re wondering about the ingredients in the mask…

I like the smell. The mask really heated up with the help of the Neoprene and I could feel the heat almost instantly. It’s quite comfortable since I’m experiencing cold weather here. Also feeling the effect of strain from the Neoprene. You’ll get the result after 3 usages in a week. However, I used it once a week. I could feel the result in just one use, my skin around the jawline and neck felt firmer after using it for the first time.


The effect after using it for the 3rd time (3rd week). Very obvious right? Of course, the result differs for each individual. There is no need to wash off the residue with all the goodness in there(Vitamin E, Collagen, Beta-Glucan, Coenzyme Q10, and Vitamin-A), I massaged them into my whole neck and décolletage. You must take care of your neck as this is where it will make you look older.


Very excited!! See!

Note: Ok… I got quite a fair bit of feedback saying that the difference is way too much and too good to be true. Let get this straight, there’s definitely difference in real life but not this much because of my angle in the photos, I can’t find the exact angle hence it looks like there’s so much difference here. Rest assure that it does has effect in real life, I do feel it. Again, please bear in mind that the result differs from one individual to another.

No surgery for it. You might want to try it out. I do recommend it. Also, I didn’t suffer any breakout after using it. So it’s a good thing for me. Oh! Remember to wash the Neoprene everytime after use.

The retail price is RM 99 for 1 box LUS V Line Extra Lift Up. You can buy them at all Sasa outlets in Malaysia (starting July 2011) or buy it online (Supermodel’s Secrets, they deliver to outside of Malaysia even Australia) if your place doesn’t have Sasa.
