Melbourne 2014

Yes, there's no typo there. It's two-o-fourteen.
  There. My first Melbourne trip.  It was a weekend getaway trip, mainly to meet JJLin at his concert rather than travelling around.  Three days in Melbourne, long enough for me to fall in love with Melbourne ever since.

  Beyond Infinity

     Where all the dreams gather..

 

The first meal that we had at Melbourne, yummylicious.

It's perfectly acceptable to have dessert before dinner.

@ Lindt Cafe

Brighton Beach, hah, we spent at least 2 hours here.

How to exercise (sweat it out) at Melbourne during winter.

The jump shot is always the challenging and mandatory ones.

There's always something special about laneways, and that's one of the reason I love Melbourne.

Midnight walk along the river, before we had the amazing cheesy fries.

No photos, cuz we're too hungry.

and we lost it all today / tell me honestly / would you still love me the same?

The only cafe that we went, Hardware Societe, long queue as always.

Melbourne, till the day we meet again.

p/s I started drafting this post since May 2014 HAHAHAHA, nothing special, though it took me more than one year to get it posted. In fact, I had my second Melbourne trip during winter break this year.  And I'll try my best not to draft it as long as I took for this one. ;p

Come what may and love it

hah, I've been MIA again.  This semester wasn't as busy as last semester, but I'm mentally tired.  I guessed everyone is.  Finals are in 2 weeks time.  Am I ready for exams? Heck nah.


That calmness when you press the shutter.  That's the beauty of photography.
Constantly chasing for lights, seeking for colours.
   

Weather is just nice to walk around and snap.  Spring has finally sprung!  But it's getting hotter :(
   

Come what may and love it. 

I'm uncertain about future. It's unpredictable.
Keep praying, I have faith in you Lord.

2014 - B for brunch, C for coffee, D for dates and E for eat!

hola hola, I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!

I'm finally back here at my little space, I (finally) feel compelled to blog tonight.

It's quite unimaginable to me that 2014 is over and we are now in the second month of twenty-fifteen! One of the new year's resolutions (#bullsh*t) is stop being lazy, so here I am, updating my life in 2014.

Key events were those brunch and coffee dates, so let's start with those.

B for brunch, C for coffee, D for dates and E for eat!

Happiness aplenty: fuss-free, good service, great food with organic ingredients. Who says 'grass' can't be good - high fives for salad.

    When in Malaysia, going out for typical Malaysian breakfast like char kueh tiaw is too mainstream.

So we went on a discovery trip for 'Australian mocha'. 

The meal and coffee made us miss Aussie brunch even more. ><"

 

Little duckling deserves a photo. There, along with my 'fat' white.

Long afternoon well-spent, working on church fellowship video.

Located at the heart of Paddington where I normally brunch, Kettle & Tin calls for really wonderful photo opportunity :P
Thanks to the colourful elements, adding a dash of tangy excitement to our meals.
@Kettle & Tin, Paddington.

 

Introducing the best coffee on campus: Genies!

Hiding in the shadows of Bioscience Precinct Building, it's Our usual meet-up spot where memories were built.  

Every uni day should be like this, great company, good coffee and quick catch ups after hectic lectures/tutorials/pracs.

Great discovery along the Burnett Lane at the city.  a hidden gem.

Felix, a health conscious cafe, so no guilt to indulge!

What time is it!!!!!!! It's breakfast thymeeeeeeeeee!

Cheddar & thyme scones from Felix, again :P

 

Spent some time alone before meet-up with friend after lecture.

Daily fix of caffeine at Felix.  Yeh yeh, it has made into my list of favourite brunch/coffee spots.

Friends didn't like it due to the healthiness of organic food. hahaha!

Beetroot pearl cous cous salad was the boom!

@Raw Paw Paw, New Farm.

 

Found a spot which was opened during public hols.

Great catch-up with friends who work and appreciate public holidays, so here we went!

Itching for something sweet, so I had the homemade granola topped with greek yoghurt.
@ Chester Street, Newstead. 

Then, bunker coffee along Brisbane River. 

Never a fan of chocolate milk, but i've been raving non stop for their 70% dark chocolate milk.

 

This happened after a Saturday groceries-shopping date,  :p

Sweet potato fries were shooooogood. Not a huge fan of chips in particular but if I had a choice, sweet potato chips that is!

@Bare Bones Society, Jindalee

Oh yes, food after our food exams!

Despite lack of sleep, I still enjoyed my food. I always do bahaha

Couldn't really remember what I ate, everything's good in a nutshell.

@ Shouk Cafe, Paddington

 

Food was mediocre to me, but nothing can spoil good company.

Great catchup with a long-lost 'bojio' friend.

@Scout Cafe, Petrie Terrace

 

Rainy day (Yes, i still rmba!)

Brunch, no, lunch @ Little Paw Paw, Kenmore.

Was craving for the sweet potato fries but we didn't get that.

So..... definitely a perfect potato-time destination in future ;P

 

Brunch in pjs? Tried doing it with friends after sleepover. 

Fresh avocados - they're so green! 

and spot those edible rose

 

Heat wave in December, couldn't bear with anything hot anymore, so opted for yoghurt and granola.

Something fancy on the side: lamb kebab with lotsa elements.

So.. That's all for 2014.

On the other note, one of the 2015 resolutions is - continue stuffing myself silly with brunches and coffee!  hehe, I've already listed them down. It's like a wishlist, and I assure myself that I'll successfully-wonderfully-awesomely make this resolution realistick. 

Last but not least, F comes after E :(

F, for fat.
