it's canberra time!!
About a month ago, my sister and I booked tickets to Canberra to renew her Malaysian passport. Our one day trip supposed to be enjoyable; however, it turned badly due to the extremely unacceptable flight delay.
Upon arrival at arrival, we took the ticket number and sat while waited for our names to be called. Note that the ticket number wasn’t a machine type. It was indeed a very obsolete type nobody will ever use this. The ticket number was simply written largely on a small cardboard paper. Before this, my sister was looking for a machine like what you saw in many banks.
The deserted look at the embassy
It took around 6 hours to process the new passport. Hence, we walked out of the embassy, hoping to catch a cab there. Luckily, a guy from Sydney offered us a ride back to parliament house just 10 minutes from the embassy. We just spent 15 minutes there taking photos while waiting for the bus to come to take us to the city.
Compared with Melbourne, it wasn’t a true city to be. The city seemed very quiet and I felt as if I was floating in a dream (Slept late, woke up early). It looked like a ‘dead city’. Gosh!
We had lunch at Canberra Centre, and then shopped.
Almost everyone talked softly there. The city wasn’t really as busy as Melbourne. It’s such a great place to relax. The green trees and the huge land Canberra has makes the city looks really empty and should get more room for improvement. But it was really nice to have a cup of coffee there .. :)
Anyway, at 3pm, we took cab and headed back to the embassy when we met another young lad from Brisbane. At that point of time, I realised that Malaysians aren’t that bad as I thought as we were offered for another ride back to the city by another car. It’s sweet, isn’t it?
Before we get into the flight, 3 of us visited the Shrine of Remembrance.
The closing ceremony was just a 5 min play by a man blowing trumpet when we expected it to be either 20 minutes performance or what. Sweat..
We were already sooooo tired when we reached home that I was over tired and couldn’t sleep well that night.

modern transformer
But then I pondered, "is this their authentic pretty face?"
Common, especially Korean, Chinese and Singaporean girls, you see many pretty girls with sexy and big eyes looking at you (guys).
At that time, your heart beat furiously till you are dead. Dead like this.
Oh. "One Man 'literally shot' Down", I see!.
I'm aware that many Koreans undergo surgery. Plastic surgery, rhinoplasty,liposuction, eyelid, botox, whatever you name it.
Today, it came to my realization that nothing is impossible.
XiaXue, Singapore's most eminent blogger and Dawn, has also undergo some simple surgery, I think! Or maybe it's really apparent to many of you.
Guys, forget about Xiaxue and Dawn.
This girl definitely impressed me with her super high technique makeup skill. Omg. Can I hire her please??
Girl like me who has single eyelid is so miserable compared with big rounded barbie doll eyes. :(
Envious.!
But, that's not her real face though. I was more than stunned when I see how 'pretty' she is without make up. And I thought to myself, "If I'm already pretty without make up, will I get even prettier with make up?" And I mean the barbie doll -alike make up.

That's exactly the same person you saw in the pictures above!!!!
Phew.. I can't believe how make up can change a person. And I meant drastic change.!
Look at her jaw etc. That really makes me wonder if DawnYang really did plastic surgery or is she just flaunting the wonders of make up?
and yeh, she actually included steps of transformation. If you wanna know, please stay tune in the next entry!
To be continued!

Nuffnang Santa
“Nuff Nuff!!” my 2 year old nephew yelled.
"Nuff Nuff" and he claps his hand. (:
*add on from nuffnang blog*
The difference with Nuffnang Australia model vs other blog ad networks is Nuffnang focuses locally on Australia and its blogging community.
Local in the sense that each market Nuffnang is launched in comprises a local Nuffnang team. This ensures quality local advertisers are placed on the blogger’s blog.
Nuffnang also promotes heavily within the blogging community and runs numerous events for bloggers. All Australian bloggers have the opportunity to be part of this Nuffnang community through advertiser events, sampling, or just a simple Nuffnang sharing session. Blogger websites are promoted only to help drive traffic.
The best thing about Nuffnang is; you (bloggers) can receive payment. *but with terms and conditions yeh* Isn’t that nice to have extra earnings? *winks*
For cyber addicts, this is for you! For those whose parents think that sticking yourself to the internet may not be a good news, this is for you too!
Nuffnang has always been so generous. I love Nuffnang so much that I was overjoyed it finally arrives in Australia.With this, I can join in the interesting events Nuffnang often held.
As Christmas is around the corner, Nuffnang is looking for all Australian bloggers, big and small, to join the growing Nuffnang blogger community. :) Nuffnang is adopting more babies!!Hooray!
Why everyone loves Nuffnang? In fact, I love all the events Nuffnang organized. Remember the Pajama Party, N96 race and so many more events Nuffnang and the bloggers were involved? I was looking so much into it but was disappointed that the events are not held in Australia yet.
picture courtesy from Boss Tim's blog.
With Nuffnang Australia, I’m able to join in many events. OMG. I’m looking forward to it!! The best thing is you get to meet many bloggers! And you might even bump into a BFF! (Best friend forever)
The most popular blogger, Karen Cheng is already with Nuffnang for so long. Same towards bloggingaussie. I've been following their blogs but I reckon they don't know me. With this community, I'm hoping to know them even better so that we can share ideas. I've also asked Adrian to join in this lovely community!
Alright, back to the ground rule of this game.
The moment I saw i Dell Inspiron Mini 9 at JB HIFI the other day, I was so eager to get it, so I thought maybe I should wait till Christmas to get it, in the mean time, to save more $$.
The good news is, Nuffnang Australia now is making my dreams a step closer. If ONLY I can win this, I can save so much that I can use the money and the new laptop to New Zealand, and blog about it on the spot!
I like the Mini 9 because it’s so light and compact and it’s suitable for outgoing lifestyle, especially people like me who can’t live without a laptop. You can even bring it to the loo and blog without having fear that the heavy weight burns your thighs!
Mini 9 has 1.3 megapixel, which means you get to start video conference with lovely people around you! Whether you are in the loo or Starbucks, or a concert, forget about having the costly 3G video conference.
I need Dell Inspiron Mini 9 so much as my old Acer laptop broke down recently, so I thought, just in the right time, Nuffnang Santa may grant me a new laptop? That must be the most wonderful present I have so far!I’ve also dedicate a song to Nuffnang Santa. I’m hoping so much to get Dell Inspiron Mini 9. I want to flaunt and decorate the laptop with Crystals and Diamonds till' you've to cover it with sunglass! OK. I’m just kidding. Heeeheee But Santa, please make me win!!
I send it off and just said this
I know exactly what I want this year
Santa, can you hear me ?
I want my baby, Dell Mini 9
I want Mini 9 to love me and to hold
Maybe, Maybe Be all my own in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me ?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my mini 9 is here
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year.
Toot……………..
“Hello?? Hello?? Santa, you there???”

where is the statue of liberty?
I was educating Branda on some general knowledge that she may not learn at her kindergarten now.
“Branda, this is called the Statue of Liberty. Now, where do you find the Statue of Liberty?” I asked.
I expect her to tell me New York or US.
She pondered for a while, and replied me.
“I know, Genting!”
“Genting?”
“I saw this at Genting Highland ma…. :D”
I was stunned, but at least I know it really exist in Genting Highlands. Haha.

reminiscence
Upon reaching Changi Airport from Melbourne, my visions were blurred.
I was weary.
In fact, I couldn’t even recall what happen through my way back home.
“I reached Singapore airport, at last!” I thought to myself.
But, what is it that is so thrilled about?
>.<

This is weird.
Is it due to the humidity and the temperature in Malaysia,
That I've hair loss now, at the age of 21?
Ops, I mean hair drop.
It was as if my hair is experiencing autumn here.
I washed my hair and I can't even count how many hair that I've dropped!
I slept, and I woke up the next day shockingly that I see my bed full of hair.
I sat down having breakfast and mum saw strings of hair on the floor.
I changed shampoo, but it's still the same.
Is something wrong?
Please tell me...
You don't wanna see Gracie become hairless soon..

an experience with Tiger Airways
This will be the first and last time I patronize this service.
“TIGER airways.”
For those who had a great experience with tiger airways, I’m sorry to say that this post might be contradicting with your post experience.
A newbie like me who patronize Tiger Airways due to its cheap fare was ultimately disappointed. Some may say “You get what you pay for”. I got cheap fare and I got the cheapest service ever.
2 Months ago, my sister and I paid for 2 tickets to Canberra departing at 7.05am. I even got myself early as 5am to prepare myself for this so-called ‘astonishing’ trip. As far as I reached Melbourne Airport, I was asked to go outside the external pathway to check in for Tigers as it is not situated inside the airport.
Upon reaching, I saw few counters with Gold Coast and another ‘forgotten’ place. As my stated destination is Canberra, I queued up at an unstated destination.
That minute was the most baffling sentence I had on that day.
“Madam, your flight is to go to Canberra?”
“Yes, sure”
“It’s at 3.15”
“3.15??”
“Gate 3.15?” looking bewildered.
“Your flight is scheduled to 3.15pm”
Both my sister and I were taken aback. Hey, we won’t wait hopelessly sitting at the airport for 6 hours just to wait for that flight which was re-scheduled. We were even told that they have sent us email to inform this.
“HEY!.. Do you have any sense of informing your customers? Do you think that everyone is so free to check their email every day? Can’t you think of other modes of transmitting messages the most efficient and EFFECTIVE way???”
We do admit partly was our fault for not checking email, but Tiger Airways can’t expect the customers to check their email every day.
My sister had an appointment with the Hi Comm to renew her passport and thus, we dashed to Virgin Blue. We had no choice but to buy a flight ticket immediately from Virgin Blue. A 30 over aud flight to 270aud. That sounded so exciting, wasn’t it? 9 times of fare that we’ve to pay blindly!
Thank God Virgin Blue gives a good experience to its customers.
Although Tiger Airways promised to refund the money to us, I’m sorry to say that the bad experience has already become a No-No to me.
Lessons to be learned: Don’t patronize too cheap air fares.

i'm back!
Woo. I came back home with a sense of half conscious and half dreaming.
Having planned for several vacations before my exams, things did not seem to flow smoothly in reality. Indeed, it was all very impromptu. After all, I did not dare to plan. I prefer things to go just naturally as it is. I had been out with friends for that 1 whole week, and I barely had enough sleep.
I thought having midnight flight at 1am will be a great experience. But this proves me wrong. WroNg. I was barely falling asleep. I thought I was too excited to meet everyone in Penang.
As soon as I arrived, I was doubtful if my luggage and the box of food arrive on time. Call me sillygirl!
Just as I passed by the main gate, I saw mum, sis and the 2 kids there. I was so ecstatic that I started to have teary eyes.
Counting the days I arrived back home, I’ve already had so much food in my tummy. :D
I can’t even wait for more events to come to me!!
Friends, if you read this, please date me out… Gracie is missing you guys so much! >.<

exam's over!
*stretching arms*
and finally, gracious has finished her stony 4 papers in 5 days. How does that sound like to you? If I were to sit for these exams in college, that shouldn’t be a problem for me. In addition, everyone in my class took 4 papers in 5 days back then. Things aren’t the same anymore here.
I no longer can study 2 or 3 days prior to the exam. Sometimes, that makes me ponder the good results I got last time. In university now, I wouldn’t dare to take the risk to study 2 or 3 days prior to the exam. It’s just as if you put a bomb timer in your body. You never know when it will blast.
Speaking bout’ the most challenging I sat so far, having 2 papers a day may not be a problem for you. What do you reckon when you are having 2 papers a day, and not allowed to sit for the exam in the same venue like your friends? To add this, mobile phone is not allowed throughout the exams until you’ve finished the bloody 2 papers. In fact, the days are hard without phone by your side. Is this the drawback of technology?
Yes, exactly, I experienced that yesterday. Frankly speaking, the situation isn’t that bad as I expected, except that I’ve no mobile phone with me. There were only lucky 5 of us, 4 from engineering faculty and me, being the only one from business faculty. The ambience was less intense as you only see 4 people in the room, as compared with seeing hundreds of students sitting there. Man, they even got us coffee, if we want, with free of charge. Isn’t that wonderful? They’ve tight security, with no one from the side trying to copy you. J
Anyway, it’s all over now. I’m glad I finished all papers..
Melbourne zoo. Here I come. Vroom….

random is good.
The advertisement in the 20th century is full of astonishing elements.
I was in my university’s toilet when I came across this notice..
LOL. The advertisement was even accompanied by a poem..?
And, a mixed of languages?
This hilarious fella must be an Indo guy.
The adver just makes me keep thinking of it...
