Australia trip planning - Great Ocean Road and Goldfield Route

I have been doing the research on where to stay... where to visit... and what to do for the 10 days in Australia next month.

Initially, my plan is just to chill in Great Ocean Road and Melbourne but at the end after i planned, I realised that we have more time. So decided to cover the goldfield route which includes Ballarat which i will have my graduation on Dec 10th 2015.

Am excited to visit the underground mining, visit the great scenic drive of Great Ocean Road and looking forward to graduate in Federation University Australia :)

Yay~ Let's countdown now...

Saturday afternoon - To gym or NOT to gym ...

Oops! people must be thinking... My only things can be do in Saturday is to gym. I was slowing down on going to the gym recently. Kind of lazy, not sure why but i think i have to ditch my bad habit of not hitting the gym as often as i did. 

I was proudly telling everyone i'm a gym goer and hitting the gym everyday. But today, I was asking myself "To gym or NOT to gym" 

Guess what? 
One of my friend who is a blogger posted a picture in my FB after i ask this "To gym or NOT to gym"


hehehe... do you find going to gym very hard? I found consistently going to the gym is hard after you kind of slow down. 

Okay~ Time to wrap up and hit the gym eh~

What other transportation do we have?

Mid of October, toll has gone up... What our lovely government said the increment is to encourage people to use public transport and ease the traffic jam. 

Now, public transport (train, bus and taxi) are going to increase... what would the government said this time? Let's use bicycle as we have build a nice bicycle track along the Klang River... LoL~ 

So now what would be our next alternate transportation for city of potholes? 
Could it be what you see in the picture...  


Why this could be an alternative transportation soon... cause in the country where you will find this type of transportation is that the other mean of public transport is NOT affordable...
 
Just guess how many people can fit into this small little car?

Hazy? Misty?... Are disaster and raining days coming?

How do you feel if you sit travel on the boat and you hardly can see where are you heading, no visibility like the picture...


Worry?
Confuse? 
Insecure due to cannot see things clearly in front?
Hopefully nothing bad will happen? 
Keep praying?
A lot of unknown... 

So this could describe what happen and how i felt after hearing the Budget 2016. What will be Malaysia future? How are we going to survive with the hazy government, spending like water yet telling everyone we have money constraint.... hardly can see plan to fix the Ringgit dropping... So what do you think?

Go WESMEN Go...

Last Saturday, when i don't know what to have for lunch in JayaOne~ I dropped by Wendy since there is the simplest and faster lunch before 2pm investment sharing. Walked over to the counter and saw a food that reminds me of the days back in Canada...

Are you a fan of basketball? 

You must be wondering what is WESMEN in my post title. WESMEN is my University basketball and volleyball team. As a student, we usually get free games to watch when the team is at its HOME i.e. back in their own home ground. It was fun watching live with all the cheering, shouting and booing... etc. Not to forget we also have the vuvuzela that cheered the team.

Let me see whether i could find a youtube clip of the WESMEN playing at HOME. 


What you usually have for munching when you watch sports? In Canada, we would have one glass of Labatt Ice and the food that made me think of Canada...

Nacho with Cheese
Yes~ It's nacho with cheese... Yummy eh~

Goat on the road too... 
So do you agree with the tour guide... Zoo come to you in India~ 
Anyone been to India with the same feeling?

Sembawang White Bee Hoon Restaurant @ Singapore

Believe or Not people just queue up for food in Singapore. One of my friend queued up 2 hours just to have this...

叉烧饱
Cha Siew Pau

When she told me, I was like... why? I still can't believe people will queue up 2 hours for a 饱 ...

Another friend of mine told me this Sembawang White Bee Hoon Restaurant also need to queue for 2-3 hours... My first reaction was I can skip it... No way i will queue for food. It's really pack if you see the picture that adapted from Juicyfingers 

Picture from Juicyfingers
Guess what? My friend bought me to taste this White Bee Hoon in this restaurant last Sunday. Of course it was not as pack as what the picture shown in Juicyfingers blog. Otherwise, you will not see me eating in the shop. Neither do my friend who also no patient to wait for food.


Hazy day, Singaporean chosen not to go out. Blast aircon to get rid of the burning smell. Maybe this is one of the reason why this restaurant lost its SIGNATURE... QUEUE~

The food is very nice and i don't mind to pay a visit in the future.

To a HardRock fans... whenever they travelled, they will search the internet whether there is a HardRock Cafe in the particular city... if yes~ tadaaaa

In India, it's very hard to get beef... So when we saw the menu served beef. It was paradise after 10 days of non-beef meal...

Merdeka weekend with Sister and Nephew

Sister and Nephew are in town last weekend during the Merdeka weekend. Most of my friends have gone to the BERSIH 4.0 but i didn't take part of the event as my sister and nephew were in town. Hey, this didn't mean that i support the kok kok gai as he has said that whoever didn't appear in the Bersih 4.0 means support him. Come on, some of us just tight up with something else.

Anyway, let's just don't talk about the event. Later my blog got blocked. :')

I spent my Merdeka weekend with my sister and nephew in Port Dickson... My sister have rented two room in Thistle Resort which my parent were there too... It was so crowded with families...


I was enjoying the sea breeze with the "People Mountain People Sea" but still not that bad as i managed to build the sand castle with my nephew.

Was there only 2 day 1 night... Short but enjoyable. How's you celebrated the Merdeka weekend?

Life post MBA

1.5 years of MBA has passed so quickly without even notice. The rushing of getting all assignment and exam done semester by semester have occupied most of my time. Classes has jammed up my weekend calendar. I was busy with classes, assignments and exam preparation.

People said it's very tough to go through the process. To me, it's a matter of how your priority, commitment and time management. No doubt it's taxing to go through the 1.5 years MBA courses but it also given me lots of fun and knowledge gained throughout the period.

The best jackpot that i gained from is to have this MBA totally FREE. Not a single cent paid to obtain this certification. YES~ my previous company has paid for it... You must have wondered why I said FREE. I suppose to have a bond of two years with this company but guess what? I was given the chance to get out from the company without need to be bonded as i was given the choice to obtain the Voluntary separation package.

Anyway, back to after MBA, since i was so FREE... I decided to sign up a two weekend course on INVESTMENT in US market through Beyond Insights, an investment training institute to learn about how to invest in US market with a right method and reduce risk of losing the capital if we do it right.

It was an overwhelming two weekend with all the financial figure which i was not fond of... Anyway, reality bites, no matter how you don't like it. You have to love it cause they will help you to make MONEY~

Other than the Investment courses, I have also sign up Thai language class and a sales class etc!!!

Now, I'm looking for a nutrition class to attend~

MBA Final Semester

My final semester has started. This semester I'm taking two subjects i.e. Accounting Finance and Marketing Management. According to our senior, these two subjects are not tough. Can I party over these two subjects ;-)

Anyway, still gotta focus on the study to make sure I finished the MBA by July 2015. Since my MBA was sponsored by the company, I don't need to pay a single cent to obtain this certification. So the only thing I gotta do is to work hard and get over it. 

Last semester was the worst as there were 3 subjects and all 3 were not so straight forward. It took time to do the assignment and study the subjects. Anyway, I got them all passed!!! ;-) My only concern now is how i could make use of my MBA to get a better job in the future. Maybe i should ask, could I get a better job with my MBA?

When you throw a stone and you might hit MBA graduates on the Central Business District (CBD), just like now degree holder is just a paper to go into the working life. So what about MBA? Sigh~ 

Okay~ i shouldn't be so emotional in the Friday afternoon which most of you have planned how to party over the weekends. I'm waiting for my classmate to arrive in a not so quiet but empty Starbie... Don't ask me why eh~

Starbie on Friday Afternoon

Expect the unexpected...

World changing faster and faster under this digital era... time will never wait for us to react.

For the past two months, things changes surrounding us and life will not be the same again. Just need to keep going and going like energizer rabbit~ Keep motivating ourselves to overcome the tough time.  We really don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Anyway, be strong and take good care of yourselves.

Stay tune with the India trip post eh~
