Insta-talk #5

It's just like twinkling of an eye, that's it, May, see you next year.

Hmph, it's quite a peaceful month for me, peace in mind and in life. Say peace yayy. Without a doubt there were some ups and downs throughout the whole month, but they didn't last long. My happy-go-lucky style has back I reckon, oh, welcome back! :D So.. yeah, a pretty nice good wonderful fabulous month: also a/some little life changes that happened, hopefully everything goes well! #praying hard.

I think my 2013 May was pretty much about FOOD, trust me, scroll down, most of my insta updates are about food. 

 I love Vietnamese Salad, so I homemade one, with loads of coriander and peanuts. boo.

I had this for brunch and dinner on a random day! Thanks to Vivian.

 Then, we were crazy enough to wake up real early for this, the asians breakfast! 

All the way from Indooroopilly to Sunnybank at 7am. 

 OHHH! Tony Stark is awesome. Iron Man 3 is so far the best movie in 2013.

 When there's some life changes going on, change your iphone wallpaper as well.

Just live <3 p="">

 Also, enjoying food as always! I'm not a big fan of Japanese sushi, but I just can't say NO to sashimi. 

Dinner @Oishii Sushi Bar

 And the sweetest dessert to end the awesome night. @Casamia Paris

 The next day I had a late night jog along Musgrave Road; It was chilly, everyone (hmm Malaysians) was nervous. Internet seemed to be real busy that night, we were all refreshing the pages.

But somehow the results disappointed most of us. :(

 Some curry puffs? the gigantic puffs lol.

Japanese Dinner again @Mizu Japanese Restaurant.

Then, I got back to SI! Home Sweet Home.

 Kitchen means food. Food means eat. blahh.

 That late night baking with siblings, they said the frosting looked like pops. but nah sui bian lah, I removed all the frosting before eating, so it doesn't matter.

 oh this little kid crawled into my bed on a random night. He slept in my room for two days and after that two days I was sick because of the strong air conditioning. I couldn't sleep with air conditioning on and he couldn't sleep without it on, so, please love me more la bro!!

 Another kid sneaked into my room again. Having fun kacau-ing the brother who slept earlier.

 I'm naughty huh.

 They went to school during daytime so I was damn boring, time to read some books. 

 So tell me, how can I not gain weight after eating so much good food? LOL okay, I know, overloaded. Binge eating for the whole month. Should really get back to healthy eating lifestyle for my own sake.

Anyway, all the best to all students who are going to sit for their exams SOON! Jiayouuu, have faith in Jesus Christ and everything will be fine. :)

 But then I met up with my family! Frozen Yoghurt from the Myer Centre is always the best!

 And my daddy! Why so serious!

 My sweetheart, IMY!

But sorry jiejie isn't going back anymore:(

 Was tidying my room and found this sweet msg from Ivy! !

 It's been quite a while since I last visited the Brisbane City. That hustle and bustle is still the same.

 Brunch @ Campos with Vivian!

Goshhhh Campos is a really great brunch spot.

 Dinner on a random night.

 And I had a random combination of food for my brunch again. Simply love the freshly blended kiwi and apple juice! Anyone? :P

 Candid shot. 

On a Friday morning, I was extremely busy baking these two cakes.

First attempt on Japanese Cheesecake.  Baked them in different trays, the first one was a failure but the second one turned out good!  Fluffy and creamy!

 I love cheesecake but I can't really eat them due to the high calories..!!!

And if you know me well, I love the cookie base THE MOST, I can eat the base only without the cheese filling.  So I eventually added another layer of cookie in between, that texture is super good!

Surely I'm gonna make this again, sooooooon.

 Bak Kut Teh for dinner.

 And what's for dessert/supper? Max Brenner Dark Chocolate Soufle

 Preparation for our BBQ Night!

And Baked eggs in the Bun for a birthday party.

and also a good news! Everything's settled and hopefully I can get a fulltime job before my sem one starts... :D

God bless ya!
