Ambrosia, Spring Hill

A fabulous juice bar beside IES (495 Boundary Street, Spring Hill), it is one of the most popular store that IES students visit.  I didn't notice it during semester one;  However, I was totally in love with the smoothies/blenders sold there after I had my first try.   In fact, the owner/tauke there is really friendly!  They often serve free juices or cookies to us. 

Paw Paw/Papaya

Banana Cake.

There was once I ordered papaya blenders without banana before lessons started, but he gave me the one blended with banana.  I gave it to my friend and went there again to get another cup.  He recognized me and asked me why did I get double.  I told him the reason and guess what.  He gave me a banana and coconut cake. -.- I was like what the hackkk I don't like banana.  HAHAHA.

Advertising the cake nature. 

All the smoothies and blenders are made with 100% real fruit (THIS IS TRUEEE!) and 93% fat free yoghurt!  Smoothies are the drinks blended with cow milk or soy milk while blenders are blended with pine/orange juice.  I personally love blenders more.

Mango blenders with macadamia and prune.

Papaya blenders blended with almond and apricot.

Papaya and macadamia only.  Not as thick as the one I had before.

Mixed berries with macadamias and dates.

This is it! the coconut and banana cake. :p

The one I just had this morning.  Strawberry with pepita(pumpkin seeds) and dates.

I always get my brunch from Ambrosia, I think tauke recognized me cos I'm always the most annoying customer, NO BANANA PLEASE. HAHA :P

Anyway, feel free to visit Spring Hill and give this a go!  According to my friends, ice blended coffee is highly recommended as well.  It is blended with yoghurt and ice cream.

Reading: Never or Forever.

忘了最后一次看书是什么时候的事；忘了我曾经有多么喜欢蝴蝶seba和橘子的书；忘了上次是什么时候看书可以看到哈哈大笑或泪如雨下。

 昨天在收拾书桌的时候就发现了这本书。橘子的作品。一直以来都很欣赏蝴蝶seba的搞笑；橘子的沧桑。
Never or Forever // 不只是朋友

然后就静下来一边发信息一边看书。牛奶喝完了。
很早就睡了。睡了就好，什么也不用想。

宇恒的《依然是朋友》很莫名其妙地出现在脑海里；
听见他们说当年的荒唐事，我还会蓦然大笑起来，那个“勇”字怎么写，我现在忘了。
真的忘了。

当年我们怎么一起使出九牛二虎之力把课室外的长凳搬来搬去；

当年我们怎么一起找借口到对面大楼的厕所聊天；

当年我们怎么一起不管爸妈唠叨，一定要在学校留多一或两个小时；

当年我们怎么一起在课室里透过黑色玻璃，在人家看不到我们，我们看得到人家的情况下去偷窥甚至口无遮拦地开别人玩笑；

当年我们怎么一起被国语老师在篮球场罚站却还笑得出来；

当年的初生之犊，还真是不畏虎。

多少蠢事都做得出来。

故事的最后，我们都不曾失去什么，因为我们依然是朋友. :)

The Study Desk

It's Monday, go to study! T_T I don't hate or dislike Monday cos I m the lucky one who only has three hours of lessons and can leave school at 1pm.  

The picture which made me laughing like mad during lessons after analysing this with my classmates.

Imagine teachers are holding guns.

HAHA. Done with my first physics unit test in Semester Two.  The quantum physics is really interesting but teachers said it's hard to score. Anyway, just try my best.

@#!*($&#*@(&)(@&?!!!

talking crap always?!

It's been a while I didn't update RANDOMly. (if you get what I mean). It will be only after I get my camera out, wipe away the layer of dust and SNAP!  Random photos of my study desk.  To be honest, other than my bed, study desk is the most important thing in my room.  I've ever told my mom that my study desk must as large as my bed. HAHAHA.

The only reason I need a big desk: I will only tidy up, as in arrange all the textbooks, reference books, story books or anything back to their original places once in a fortnight. :p

The thing that will always on my desk/be my side HAHA

Can't live without phone apparently.  However, sometimes it annoys me especially when I'm watching drama HAHA

Totally out of focus, but nevermind.  

The trash bin on my desk.  The little tiny cute one.

 Dophin keychain.  Always forget to bring this when I leave home in the morning.  WHY?  Because it's always hidden under piles and piles of papers. and will only appear when I reach home from school, in the evening. SIGH.

I'm too blessed to be stressed.  My future is bright. I need sunglasses.

I know it's a little bit thick-face to say this. AHAHA whatever, inspirational quote when I'm stressed out. 

 OWL. Guess what is this. 

Hint: nothing to do with stationeries.

GUESS NOW!

A great motivation when I'm doing my assignments right! :D I smurf them lots and lotsa.

Drawers. :D

  

Holidays, you're not far away. <3 p="p">

Vietnamese Corner BBQ Restaurant, Sunnybank.

Sooner or later, this gonna transforms to a food blog. Anyway, enjoy life enjoy eating! haha but remember to exercise yea to keep healthy.

I seldom have lunch or dinner at Sunnybank so I wanna try out anything new there.  So, Myra, Melvin and I went to Vietnam Corner BBQ Restaurant for our lunch after shopping at Sunnybank Plaza (The One Day Big Sale!) The interior design is pretty nice, it seems to be a Hong Kong Cafe that normally appears in TVB dramas.

Both Chinese and Vietnamese meals are served.  Vietnamese meals are recommended anyway.

(Probably because it's my first Vietnamese meal)

 Myra and I shared a dish.  Pho Bo.  It's basically slices of beef and rice noodles(I called it kueh-tiaw cos it looks exactly like kueh-tiaw)

I like the spices with the soup.

 YUM.

Melvin's Char-siew noodles.  The Char-Siew tasted 'normal normal' only haha, highly recommended char-siew: LITTLE HONG KONG which is located at Market Square.

(LOL I shouldn't have said this now)

 

This milk tea tastes exactly like the one I can get in Miri!! The best milk tea I've ever drank so far in Brisbane.  It's so.. smooth, a great aroma combination of tea and evaporated milk.... and felt warm because it reminds me of my hometown. :(

Beef.  It's cold entree. I didn't like this aha.

Overall it's not too bad, first try on Vietnamese food.

I would recommend this restaurant if you crave for Vietnamese food!

Ciao~ See ya.

hope everything goes well. God bless!

Jojo's Restaurant, Yes, again!

YOOO. Believe it or not, this is the first time I stayed up late in semester two. It is approaching 12am and I haven't shower, just drank a cup of coffee.  I was bored reading those quantum physics concept and decided to blog... about Jojo's Restaurant AGAIN!!!  Check out my previous post about Jojo's: http://clare-chua.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/max-brenner-jojos-restaurant.html

This was two weeks ago, on a Friday, after we had the IELTS mock exams, Jacqueline and I wanted to relax and chill out.  We couldn't make up our mind, going to Max Brenner or San Churros.  At last, we went to Jojo's Restaurant to have our dinner with Samuel and Anthony.

Apparently we love Jojo's Restaurant, it is located along Queen Street.  Because it's Friday's night, the restaurant was flooded with people.  Lucky us got a seat at the corridor.

 Spending almost half an hour to decide what to order.  Jacqueline and I shared our dishes as normal.  Wanted to order steak but it's served with chips.

Before we ordered our main dishes, we ate Italian pizza first. We were all starving!

Cripsy Salami Pizza with tomatoes, olives and onions.

Samuel's laksa.  It's a bit sweet, not spicy at all.  Kinda pricey, after all we Malaysians can get a bowl of laksa(super nice) one with only two Australian dollars.

Our all time favourite at Jojo's.  Anthony's Green Curry!

My Caesar Salad.  It's not that nice tho.  The vege wasn't cripsy and I think there should be more bacon!

BBQ Chicken breast with cold noodles.  Cold noodles was nice!!! Must try.

Ending this post with the meals my family and I had at Jojo's Restaurant in 2009 during our Brisbane trip.  That was our first time there and my father is totally in love with the restaurant.

BBQ Thai Chicken Thigh with Cold noodles and Onion Salad.  (Please spot the differences between the dish served in 2009 and 2012)  SIGH. Economical impact. 

 Creamy Salmon Fettucine. (A SUPER NICE ONE) MUST TRY!

Dad's T-Bone Steak, the mushroom sauce is nice!  (In my opinion I think steak is the best meal served at Jojo's)

Red Curry. a bit spicy but not spicy enough for us.

Green Curry is better anyway. :p

Highly recommended restaurant! moderately priced for western food.

p/s it's a pub during late night.

What should be the title?

Seriously I'm not making a fuss about term three, in fact, I should feel blessed to have an interesting term three which has always been the busiest term throughout the year.

A nervous twitch.  First seminar in UQFY.  

Time to read. Yes, Chinese. Needs lots of effort to get back the knowledge.

I'm sorry.

Burger Urge, UQ

Does anyone still remember there was a scene taken at BURGER URGE in the short film "You Forgot"?  We didn't really have a proper meal there when we were taking the film.  We had a chocolate milk shake and it tastes pretty good though.  So, last Saturday, Vincent, Samuel, Edison, my sister and her friend and I went to Burger Urge to have our lunch because the UQ Union food court was closed on Saturday!  Burger Urge is located behind the Biological Science Library.

If you knows me well then you will know I don't eat burger :D  I ate some chips and tried a little bit on the beef and bacon burger.  The buns were crispy as I thought, however, one of them was burnt.

Bacon and beef burger.  Chips with wasabi sauce which I am currently addicted to.

Beef burger.

The most special one among all, I think it's chicken and bacon burger served with chips and sweet chilli sauce(with an additional cost of 80cents)

So basically I ate chips for lunch that day, so-not-healthy but who cares.  Eating hot chips during classes has somehow become our daily routines, 3dollars for a big box of hot chips.  NICE RIGHT!

Ciao~ Gotta rush for assignments assignments assignments. T_T
