Insta-talk #2

The third day of uni: it wasn't my day to be honest. okay let's forget about it.

This is the second insta-talk! I've not been writing about my Instagram for ages, the first edition was in July 2012: click this.
So what's the insta-talk on my blog? Basically I just post all the instagram photos that I've posted throughout the month, haha I'm just so in love with instagram.  I think I should keep this up every month, as it's the best way to summarise the month I reckon.

The story started... on the day I touched down in Brisbane after that long summer holidays in SI.

I woke up to this; unpacking stuffs, tidying up my room!

 And starvation. The only food that I could find in my boxes.
Madura Green Tea and the Marie Biscuits.

 Then, online shopping with friends. 
Such a brilliant way to shop right! You see detailsssss.

Boredom. That hot summer night in Brisbane. 
Yes I dyed my hair in red but now the colour faded :(


 Finally done my groceries shopping and yayy for my yummy breakfast! 

 Plus a sunny day for laundry on A sunday morning. Praise the Lord.

 Hotpot for dinner, as a reward for ourselves after washing our cars. (we spent two and a half hours on it) geez.

 TADAAA, finally our Topshop has arrived!
My biker Jacket, my wardrobe is ready for winter.

 Miss them lots and lots, our friendship never end; 
letters & words are best to deliver and express our feelings!
(Yeaa, sometimes I write crap and handwritings getting uglier at the end)

owhh, of course, our dinner date every night for two weeks!
followed by the movie sessions.

Then, my family came for Chinese New Year because both my sister and I weren't in SI for CNY.
We stayed in the hotel, and...

Lots of fun!

 Yes, monkey. or koala on a tree.


 My parents woke me up at 6.30am in the morning for this.
Breakfast @Kitchen at Treasury.

 Happy Chinese New Year!
Reunion at Marco Polo Dining Bar.
(Stay tuned for the post, coming soon)

 Fresh fruits from the hotel manager. aww longan!

 Asians Brunch @ Yum Cha Cuisine, Carindale Shopping Centre.
The best dim sum restaurant in Brisbane!

Dinner @ Fat Noodle. And the lion dance troupe visited.
My sweet momma.

 Lunch @ New ShangHai, Queens Plaza.
(Food Hunting series about this: coming soon)

 Happy Birthday once again Mr Fritz Chua!
He's officially nine years old now. A big boy!

 Yes this is my big boy.
And no longer the little kid who kissed me and hugged me when I asked him to do so.

Six days later, they were going back! see how time flies yea.


The Pineapple Tarts from my dad's friend

 Supper with our new outfits on! Shop ASOS. http://www.asos.com.au
Me in my Did I Studder Sweater.

 Valentine's dinner with candles!
Check this out on how I celebrated it: click here.

 Dinner date: Lobsters in the house.

That cold night I drove all the way up to the highest point of Brisbane, Mt Co-otha.
Well, I failed my Side Parking. heyy there's no lines on the ground like the driving learning institute has.


 Brisbane to Redcliffe: just for this seafood basket. REALLY FRESH.

 Heavy rain during our Redcliff trip. 

 Cooked dinner. Braised gravy beef; Green Veges and my favourite onions with eggs.

 Breakkie. Plain yoghurt with fresh blueberries!

 You have no choice but wearing this when there's no socks left in your drawer. due to the rainy days.
They are cute tho. Thanks dear!

 Sorry If I've frightened you.
But heyy I'm a little cute chipmunks Clare.

 This was yummy, although it looks disgusting.
Don't judge a book by its cover. 

 ENGG1100 Project Day.
Time to socialize. Met some new friends who are really nice!

 Who doesn't love sunny-side up eggs?

 My favourite frozen yoghurt @ Moochi, GC.
That busy Saturday, meeting up my dear Maddy who is now in Melbourne :(
All the best there! 

 The lotus root peanut soup for our last dinner date. (sobs)

 Food-creativity: instead of butter, I spread plain yoghurt on my toast.
YUMM.

 Thank God we are all back in Brisbane for the new year! Made fruits platter for Sherwood Youth Fellowship.

 Chinese New Year 2013 is over. Made this yee sang for our potluck. 
(The post about Chap Goh Mei, coming soon)

Sister gave me a mould for fried eggs; gave it a go.
Delicious eggs with that thick eggwhites layer! Cucumber and always my all-time favourite smoked salmon!!!

Owh, finally I'm done with this. I think I miss out some photos, but nahh, for more just check out my instagram @_ClareChua. Yes I apologise for those upcoming posts! As you can see, I'm updating my blog everyday (which I normally don't) 

hehee, gonna get ready for my dinner/supper session. I need a treat for myself after this long and hectic Wednesday. 
Ciao~

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Hi there! It's the first day of uni, a wet rainy and windy day. Luckily my outfit of the day was like casual with shorts and thongs on. It's like washing my own feet while walking today. Not forget to mention that it's freezing cold today, hey it's summer oh Brisbane.

I bet everyone's exhausted today, nah, these lovely sweet hearts to cheer you up!


Anyways, I'm late for this, I'm always late urgh. Happy Belated Valentine's Day! We celebrated our valentine's day 'asian-ly'. Instead of western meals, we cooked our own Malaysian meal. Yes, it's super yummy.

 Will never forget heart-shape beef on Valentine's day.
Apparently this was a failure. It only looked like a heart at certain angle, as you can see, with a scar on it. (HAHA)
It's Braised Gravy Beef!

 And the veges with lots of garlic as toppings! 

 As well as the overnight chicken curry
I personally think that overnight curry tastes a lot more nicer, especially the potatoes!



 The candle night was on again. 
Candles from the Reject Shop.



Happy belated Valentine's Day once again! It was Chinese's Valentine's Day yesterday (Chap Goh Mei), so it isn't too late to greet I reckon? :P I'm hereby wishing all the couples out there: stay sweet! (specially for my buddies in msia HAHAHHAHA!)

Well, it's quite awkward, speechless & funny when they asked me what to do on Valentine's for their partners. Nahh! like i'm an expert?!

Ciao~ Gotta catch up some lecture works! (As a consequence of falling asleep during lecture. :/)
