Been raining the whole day so we have to drive out for sight seeing.
Well, nothing can describe my feelings here. The scenery in Akaroa is magnificent! It’s just…. tooooooo spectacular! In this picture, we actually drove to the wrong road, but the scenery is so priceless!
Well, more to expect in the coming days. Hopefully we can get a job soon!

Yahoo!! Greetings from New Zealand!
Finally, finally, finally… after waiting for so many months, I am now in Christchurch Airport blogging away!
Everything went smooth from my flight from Penang to KL, and from KL to Christchurch. Overnighted in LCCT before leaving for CHC, and now I am here after 11 hours of flight, and again overnighting in airport. Because the time now here is midnight, can’t go anywhere.
But luckily, there are available ports and FREE Wifi!
Very tired, very excited, very nervous….
Later in the morning will start our journey by car hunting, settle our bank accounts and IRD, and then tour around a bit with Fern Fern while finding for a job.
It is autumn now, hopefully we can get a job with reasonable pay
Will blog again when there is FREE WIfi again
Bye!

I was browsing through my old photos in Facebook and I realized that I was lucky enough to have a very interesting and unforgettable university life 
Yes, I miss my uni days. I miss organizing events with a bunch of very committed team mates. I miss the fun of meeting new people and working together as a team in order to make an event successful. I miss the life as a university student which my job was to study, take exams and occasionally have fun with friends
There were ups and downs in my uni life, learnt many important lessons, met many different kinds of people, enhanced my skills in various aspects, and most importantly it helped me to become who I am today.
I know that no matter how much I miss being a university student, I still can’t wind the time and go back to the past. Life goes on after all, isn’t it?
But to those who are currently in university or going to enrol into a university, remember this, university life will always be one of the best experiences and memories in your life! Hence remember to cherish every moment as a university student!
About 1 more week left to my new journey of life. God knows how nervous I am now. Hopefully things will go on well. Gambate!

Dropped by Unique Penang Art Gallery today after our dinner at BBQ Plaza. This is our second visit to this lovely gallery at Love Lane. 
Our first visit. That was Joey behind us
Unique Penang Art Gallery exhibits a range of beautifully painted drawings by Joey Lim and other little kids as well as mesmerizing photographs by Clovis Leong.
It is good to see people who are passionate with what they do are persistent in pursuing their passion, especially when they are from Penang
Before leaving the gallery, you can purchase a favourite postcard and choose a date to send it off. This “future postcard” concept is very special and we actually did that during our last visit in December 2011. If not mistaken we have chosen to send off our postcards one year later, which is end of this year. Hence now our postcards are still sitting in the shelf, waiting for the big day to arrive hehe. By the way, the postcards are printed with drawings by the kids.
Today’s visit is a little bit special because there was a Brazilian girl selling handmade accessories outside the gallery. We actually went there to have a look at the accessories. Love them very much 
Pay a visit to this gallery if you have some time. Situated in a heritage styled house with simple and minimal decorations, the gallery is just like its name 【槟岛之恋】
Get going, Clovis and Joey!

Well to be exact, Behind 50 is actually located at Muntri Street
Since last year, many little cozy cafes have mushroomed around Penang town area. Jhu found out this particular cafe named Behind 50 and thought that it should be a good idea to give Jureen a birthday surprise over there.
After working out a plan with Jureen’s bf, we set off to buy cake before reaching the cafe. We parked our car at Love Lane and walked towards Muntri Street.
Snapped a picture of these excited faces while they were discussing about the best timing to walk in and surprise the birthday girl with her birthday cake.
After making sure the coast is clear, we proceeded with our plan and…..
Jureen was caught by surprise! YAY! Plan succeeded!
Jureen, 你老一岁啦！Hehe XD
Happy birthday!
The lovely couple *sweet sweet*
So what food does this cafe offer?
I myself ordered:
Mushroom soup with its signature number 50 on top
Spaghetti Carbonara
Food was not bad and with the ambience, we had a great time chit chatting and relaxed ourselves. Thumbs up!
Now let’s take a look at the interior decor and the antique stuffs that they have in this lovely cafe.
I really really love this corner. Always wanted to do something like this for my future home 
For exterior decor, you will see these:
An “Open” sign which was placed on the passenger seat of an old-fashioned bicycle.
The entrance, painted in yellow
Muntri Street
Overall, we had a pleasant time dining and hanging out in Behind 50. Why not you find some day and try out this lovely place yourself?

Officially resigned and has now started to plan my new journey
These are some small lovely gifts from my colleagues
My class photo which was taken last year when the kids were still in 3 year old class.
Looking at them made me realized how much they have changed and grown up after this picture was taken. *miss them*
And for a fresh start, I did my nails by myself. Sorry if you think it is ugly because I am not professional.
Anyway, need to continue with my to-do things. I am sure this February will be a very fun month. According to one of the feng shui books, this year’s February is my best month!

Hello people! How was your Chinese New Year celebration? Did anything different this year?
Well, for me this year’s Chinese New Year is the same as previous years. Been eating and eating since reunion dinner till today, went “bai nian” (CNY visiting in Mandarin), played the usual “games” and lazed around at home. Was quite a nice break for me from work, but too bad I had to start work quite early.
When I started work on Friday, I noticed that I still have another 2 more days till my last day in work. 2 more days!
When I looked at the kids, I realized that I have really gotten close to them and the fact that I am going to leave them in 2 days time just ached my heart. I kept asking them would they remember and miss me? They said “yes”. But kids…..if you are not around for some time, they will forget you de. Really really really 不舍得. How ah?
While I was writing their January reflections, I discovered that many of them have improved, in terms of academic and behaviour. Very happy but also very sad.
I am happy that February is just around the corner and I can start to prepare for my March trip, yet I am sad that I have to leave the little ones behind……
I will never forget you naughty kids!

I am sure that from the above picture, many Malaysians should know that this place is called Fullhouse Cafe
Well, Fullhouse is actually a Lifestyle Store and Cafe. Inside, they do not only sell food, but also clothes, accessories, gifts etc. Once you step inside this beautifully decorated cafe, you will be instantly greeted by white-cloured walls with perfect lighting that will ease your mood almost immediately. Together with the simple and lovely decorations, the ambience is just too hard to resist.
Well, at least that was my 1st impression when I first stepped into its outlet in Ara Damansara. The decorations… I just 
As we know, Fullhouse already has few outlets in KL and PJ area - Ara Damansara, Sunway Giza, SS2 Mall, Sunway Pyramid and Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. And now finally it has arrived in Penang Times Square, and seemed to have attracted many Penangites
Heard that now Penangites “heng” ( meaning in trend in hokkien) Fullhouse…. well, definitely not me haha.
But Kuak said since there is an outlet in Penang Times Square why not give it a try? Hmm actually I knew that he just wanted a place with nice ambience to dine with me during our date 
But since Kuak suggested, why not? Hehe.
Fullhouse Cafe has a signature decoration that they usually place in front of the main entrance, which is a car as shown below.
We were searching for this type of car inside Times Square, but what we found at the entrance was…..
a trishaw.
Haha this truly resembles Penang, doesn’t it?
Anyway when I went in only then I realized there were 2 entrances, the one I went into was decorated with trishaw while the other entrance was decorated with its signature car.
Once we sat down, I quickly grabbed the menu and flipped because I was super hungry. As usual, the menu is designed in a quirky style whereby there are even comic to read at the pages behind, which involves the “cartoon characters” of Fullhouse Cafe.
Kuak posing in front of camera, and I thought the most right picture is a bit unlike him haha.
While waiting for our food, I snapped a few pictures around.
Now let’s talk about the food.
We ordered:
No.141: Wok-Sear Chicken Chop RM16.90
To be on the safe side I ordered Wok-Sear Chicken Chop which I usually ordered in PJ outlet. But.. it turned out that this dish disappointed me. How to say? Erm, the portion is smaller and the chicken is a bit too hard. However undeniably the sauce is tasty.
No.144 Oven Roasted Chicken Tenderloin RM19.90
Kuak ordered this dish. Nothing much special and he complained that it is a bit hard. Well….. what do you say?
No.111 Forest Mushroom Soup RM8.90
No. 701 Cappucino RM9.90
Anyway, after dining we went up 2nd floor to look at the surroundings. I really
The department that sells clothes and accessories.
At the same floor that we dined, we could see many little pretty items on sale.
Now, it is time for me to wrap up my dinner at this Fullhouse Cafe.
Overall I should just say, PJ outlet left me with better impression compared to this time. If you are not too particular about food and need a place with such ambience, Fulhouse Cafe is certainly your choice!
Well, that’s all folks. See you around for more food tasting
