............

At present, I've only received 2 replies in regards to my employment opportunity. I.e there is no graduate position at the moment and one of them even suggested me to take tax course -____-

Well, better than no replies. Sigh..

At this rate of application, I don't know when I can get my very first full time job *sobsob*

Food food food

Haha. This is my yuk gae jang. Obviously, it doesn't look like the one from the previous post. Not to mention the taste is very different from the normal yuk gae jang that I ate in korean restaurant -____-




But I still finished it considering the efforts that I've thrown in; from buying the ingredients to turning them into a pot of soup.



Crispy chicken ribs with creamy corn on rice at Rose Garden. This is one of the best rice dishes that I had in Melbourne =)



Pork ribs served with chips and a bowl of salad at Universal, Lygon St. The sauce is juicy and tasty while the meat are tender and chewy. Love it!



Hainanese chicken rice at Taste of Asia. One of the best chicken rice I had. You should try the one at the Malaysian Restaurant called "Kota Raya" at Clayton. Their chicken rice is the best one!



Delicious big breakfast along Flinders Lane with my sister.



My favourite cappucino =)



My sister's hot chocolate.



The refreshing and soothing lemon lime bitters. Perfect drink for summer!

These food pictures made me so hungry now -_______-

I need to off to sleep to cure it =)

Christmas shopping

My first yuk gae jang attempt has failed.



Because I didn't even make it !!!!




So yesterday, I was planning to do grocery shopping mainly to buy the ingredients to make yuk gae jang.


But ending up shopping at melbourne central -_______-

Because it was raining and I was not bothered to bring the grocery all the way back from city to my place under the rain.

I dunno if it is a girl's nature but I found shopping do release my stress and boost my self-esteem. But then, it will definitely burn a hole in my pocket because almost everything in the shops were on sale and I was so tempted to buy them.

The things I bought to pamper myself =) With my own money of course. lol. Remember I had more work shifts in December? =p =p




1. DAWN Sarah Jessica Parker perfume for only $29.95 (original price $69.95). I love the light and refreshing perfume smell. I've been eyeing on it since months ago and finally it was on sale. So I straight away grabbed it =)

2. Pearl Creamy Under Eye Pencil - $8.95

3. Darkness False Eyelashes - $5.50

4. Silver and black eyeshadow - $15.00

5. Eyelashes gel - $8.50

6. Heart shaped necklace (Diva) - $17.50


After the shopping session, I went to catch a movie. Movie of the night .......

This movie has very good reviews and everyone is talking about it.

I couldn't agree more. It was indeed very interesting and extraordinary. The graphic scenes and sound system were excellent and breath-taking. However, it was long and quite draggy. I'm much preferred if the movie was kept within the normal 90 minutes long.

Oh, some parts of the scenes were similar to Transformers. There were robots trying to destroy the aliens' forest. Can't blame because it is the same director of Transformer who made this movie.

안녕하세요 !!

I just found out a really cool website === > http://www.maangchi.com/

There are different types of korean recipes in the website and it contains videos that teach you how to cook korean foods.

OMG I'm always a fan of korean foods and wanted to learn to make korean dishes since ages ago. Now I can make my own version of korean foods, I don't have to spend my money eating at korean restaurant which actually costs more -___- 1 small yuk gae jang for $15 -______-"

*Happy* I'm gonna make my favourite yuk gae jang (beef and vege soup) tomorrow! Can't wait already =)



dang dang dang dang!! the mouth-watering yuk gae jang !!!

Eyes issue

I wear glasses since I was as young as 9 years old. Not many choices of spectacles back then. They came only in black or plastics with limited choices of colours. My mum chose a black-framed nerdy spectacle for me. I felt embarassed wearing that pair of glasses because I looked exactly like an old witch with black glasses stuck on her face. My short-sightedness was very mild then with only about -1.5 on both eyes, so I can still see things pretty clearly without my glasses.

As time went by, more and more colourful shapes of spectacles being offered in the market. I remember the gold one was once popular and I had like 2 pair of gold glasses when I was in primary 5 or 6. And then, from the frameless one to thicker frame with different shades of colours.



This is my new purple-framed glasses which I wear when I go out. I know it's thick -____-




This is my other browny-bronze glasses which I wear in the house. Oh, I wear it for 3 years already, and it is still in good condition. *loves*

Apart from glasses, contact lens has also evolved. It has became very common nowadays. I had my first contact lens in year 2003. I wore monthly disposable clear contact lens. After wearing for several years, I stopped wearing them because I thought it was so troublesome having to put the lens into my dry eyes every morning

Then again, I started to feel like wearing coloured contact lens now so that my eyes will look larger and brighter. My single-eye lid makes my already small asian eyes looked even smaller. I couldn't wait till my sister comes back next year to bring me the coloured contact lens. So yesterday, I went to shop for coloured contact lens. I stopped by this stall at melb central selling Geo coloured lens. They are so expensive, around $84 for a pair. So damn expensive lor. I rather buy an Ipod shuffle with that price.

So I went home and decided to buy online. I went to this website called Clear Contacts, specialising in contact lens. I decided to buy daily lens because I don't wear contact lens everyday, only occasionally. The prices for the lens are reasonable and I've placed an order for 2 boxes of 1 Day Acuvue Define Vivid. 1 box with 30 lens for only $49.95 and because I have different power for both of my eyes, so I have to order 2 boxes. Basically, 1 Day Acuvue Define Vivid lens has a dark brown ring with soft brown spokes that defines the natural pattern of the iris that can make your eyes appear larger and vibrant.

This is how it works.


Before and after....

I am now waiting for them to be delivered to my house. I should be able to receive them tomorrow. I hope my eyes will look stunning with the lens =)

As I grew older, my short-sightedness became worse. From -1.5 at the age of 9 until -9.0 now. I am worried that I might go blind one day. Sigh.. I have thought of going for lasik surgery but then, I was not brave enough and also I wasn't sure which optometrist could perform the best lasik on me.

Hmm...

Oh ...before I forget, Merry Christmas to everyone out there =D

Have a great one!

sad

How to apply for jobs if I don't have completion letter and academic transcripts. You tell me. Have to wait till 4th of Jan to receive my formal CPA result and then send in to my uni for completion letter. Then, I can only proceed to apply for my residency and then send in application. But I still have to apply for jobs in the meantime. Hardcore job application tomorrow. A must!



I am





I need a friendly hug ....
