44 DEGREES

The day we landed, we were greeted by a hot and dry weather, 44 degrees, striking heat on our head... gosh.. it was hot! I thought KL was bad, but this was worse. I always refer Melbourne as a cold place as most of my memories that I had over here was cold cold cold cold... but this 44 degrees was blasting hot!

the night itself, we were invited by Hoven and Ratna to their lovely home for Bak Kut Teh... Yummy.. just what I needed.. some home cook meal and no kwai loh food.. hehe.. I am SO ASIAN..

when I first got in, thought they were selling shoes on the side! check it out!! DAMN A LOT of shoes!! think owned by 2 girls?...

the adorable little snowy

AHHH.. the bak kut teh..

slap everything in the bowl!

Not only our cups were customised, but there were sequins!

Snowy..

Little Megan.. so cute..

Still during CNY.. hence the red angpow packet..

the look after Megan was away from her mother for 3 minutes only.. she doesn't want to be carried by anyone.. only her mother.. hehe

Watching Hoven & Ratna's wedding pictures.. just so lovely and beautiful

all glued to the TV

Let me tell you my horror story... I was uploading my pics to my mac and edited some of it.. saved it again, deleted some of the pics.. and then i wanted to delete a folder in the trash can but I didn't know we could not just choose a folder in the trash can to delete, as EVERYTHING will be deleted.. so well.. bla bla bla.. was playing with lightroom and BOOM!! After a while, i realised half of my pictures were gone :( :( :( it was really a sucky day for me... which my pictures were half gone on my 4th day of my trip.. so well.. 1st 4 days, half of the pictures are gone... :( :(

Anyways, after 2 days I have decided to move on without the pictures .. sigh.. so here are some pictures of our 2nd Day, Sunday which we were supposed to go for Simply Red Live at the Vineyards but was cancelled last minute due to the bush fires. My heart and deepest sympathies goes out to those who were affected by the bush fires... Really sad and traumatising...

So before we headed for Simply Red Live, and not knowing it was cancelled, we had a quick brunch @ Nandos, Highpoint which is just next to our home.. I love Nandos.. ya Az?.. haha..

Their meal comes with quarter chicken, 1 sideline and a drink... the coleslaw is super huge! should have ordered the half chicken with 1 sideline and shared.. the portions here are BIG

I was looking for the garlic peri peri sauce and over here there's no such thing.. the Medium Peri Peri comes close to the garlic peri peri sauce

So since Simply Red was cancelled, and we bought all our picnic food, might as well not waste it and thus we headed to the botanical gardens for a picnic to ourselves...

Gia Min prepared her own pasta.. we bought some subway sandwiches

bad picture of me but I have no more pictures.. :(
so well prepared ok.. we brought food, even bought picnic mats! luckily didn't buy deck chairs!!

The following day was chap goh meh and well.. yeah.. ALL MY PICTURES ARE GONEEEE... We had a bunch of friends that came over and I cooked hainanese chicken rice for the first time in my life and I lost that picture.. the more I write about this, the more irritated I get.. sob sob... SOBSOB... :(

I even lost the group picture.. there's no memoriesssss!! Sorry guyssss... i couldn't find a FREE data recovery software for mac.. was searching high and low.. even to pay is so expensive.. So, am just moving forward and will take this as a lesson to learn in future..

oh yeah..one more thing, the 1st day we arrived was 44 degrees, the following days were hovering around 20 degrees and below.. DAMN COLD.. I miss the hot 44 degrees day. haha.. it feels like winter now and I don't know how I am going to survive through winter.. and it's still summer supposedly..
