It’s been a somewhat entertaining break for me this year, I lied about the boring part if i said so to some of you heh.
Okay FINE, it was a little teeny weensy boring but nevertheless, i still enjoyed it as my parents came all the way from Malaysia to visit me here in Perth. So this post is going to be filled with places and stuffs I did with my parents while they were here. I’m not throwing everything into this post though, just the events that I remember with my poor memory lah.
As you all know, my mum came here for 6 weeks, and my daddy flew here on the last 10 days so I was pretty the entire holiday more with my mum than with the daddy. So we had our baking cookies + cake + curry puffs and cucur bawang moments.
I personally baked the chocolate cupcakes above a day before my daddy’s arrival so that he won’t have to say his infamous “I’m only eating bread for breakfast”. But then again, not like he ate the chocolate muffins for breakfast.
The first thing that I’ll do when my parents arrive is not hugging them or whatsoever, i’ll bug the crap out of them to see what they got for me from Malaysia.
Okay after having said that, I feel like some awful sad daughter. But it’s okayyy, I’m not a very expressive person. I think..
Everytime they come, they MUST have the roast duck wanton mee at some Hongkee restaurant and we went there for lunch one day with my dad and boy it was rainy season that time. So it’s not shocking when it’s raining heavily outside but WHAT’S SHOCKING IS THAT, the rain was so loud and i was like ‘mmm fuh that must be some heavy big rain droplets’ but little did I know it was hailing till my sister called me from her office and asked me to look out at the window.
Immediately I stood up and ran to the window and i saw tiny bits of hailstones everywhere and i was squealing like mad!! Went up to pick it up from the floor to take a picture of it. If there’s someone I wana play a trick on, I would definitely threw this into his or her drink.
Here’s my mummy and daddy!!!
We all went to Tony Roma’s as my sister wanted them to try on their well-known pork ribs!
Everybody had pork ribs except me!
It was my fault actually cause I was being indecisive that time. I was having one of my fat moments so I went for the chicken as it’s not as fattening as pork ribs? But now that I’m taking a closer look at these ribs, I EFFING WANT TO EAT WHAT MY MUMMY ORDERED GAHHH!! I want prawns, green beans and fries. Not the pork ribs though.
Now everybody scream IKEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The initial plan was, I get into Ikea, get what I want which is some organising box thingy, then get out as soon as possible. BUT! I know there’s always ‘but’s. You know how Ikea works, you walk one path all the way to the end, and you have to go through painful moments knowing that you can’t buy a certain thing that you NEED (not want) like a very cool pink chair, a stylish long mirror hanging by the wall, okay basically ALMOST EVERYTHING. In the end, I didn’t really get just one thing.
In fact, I think i got 10 items hah!
IT’S ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
From the picture, on the far right, I’ve got a belt hanger thingy where i can hang all my belts, without having to waste my time every morning trying to pick or find the belt that I want.
I got 2 of the white boxes to put my bits here and there in my drawer. The wood-ish cutlery thing is to put my pencils and pens which I’m going to show you in a moment.
The roller thing!! OH THE ROLLING THING! It’s for me to roll on my butt and tummy so that it’ll become flatter clothes cause there are momo’s fur on them all the time.
Then the bottom rectangular thing is zipped up square-ish compartments for me to put my accessories and other stuffs and by other stuffs, I meant panties. FUH PANTIES i like! I have duck panties quack quack.
The one of the left is just a normal transparent box for me to put my mags and chick lit books! Oh i forgot to insert another thing in my picture, it’s a pink dog ass tail hanging thing, hadn’t thought about hanging what yet but I just got it cause it’s pink and it’s cute and IT’S AT A REDUCED PRICE!
What’s the point of going to Ikea when you’re not dining there right?
Their Swedish meatballs are just heavenly insane!!
Do you ever get the feeling that everytime you bought something from Ikea, all you want to do when you go back home is to fix it up IMMEDIATELY and reorganize the WHOLE ROOM?! Yes I did that just right the other day and I worked up for 4 hours and I’m a happy contented girl. I did the same thing last year when my dad got me my pink drawer for my room in Malaysia.
Oh lala don’t you get it? I’m going to teach all you greedy lazy bums a trick. I know that your parents will always nag at you day after day to clean your room for the 384937387374th time and you’ll end up telling them ‘later la later la’ but eventually, you’ll never do it? Well here’s the catch, you tell them that you’ll REALLY clean it given the incentive that they’ll buy you stuffs that will HELP organize your room and therefore everybody’s happy. WIN-WIN SITUATION I TELL YOU!
Happily went to Fremantle one day to jalan jalan and we would never fail to get some indian snack called the Wadeh i think from this Indian dude.
SEDAP! But i have to say that it’s not as nice as the ones in KL la.
NUTS FRENZY!!!
Okay to end this post, here’s a picture of the snow crab we ate. YUMMYSSSSSSS!
It sure was a long post but I’ve got more! In the next post.
