Launie- A good weekend escape!!

If i were to know that launceston is such a nice place, i will have visited it many times in my last 2 years here. I know many people will feel shocked knowing that this is my 1st visit as launie is just 2 hours drive from hobart. hehe. but believe me that i will start visitng launie very often after this.

However, i find launie is abit too quiet to stay( onli a few shopping places..hehe) even though the scenery is really breathtaking and the food there is much cheaper and nicer than hobart.But it will be a good weekend escape with friends after ur long-tiring-torturing exam or working. No offence to those that have been staying in launie for ages ya..

So here is wat we did on these short but packed two days' trip (basically this is all-about-FOOD trip..hehe)


Saturday:

Most of my friends will know that i am a pork ribs lover and so when Ryan brought us to eat in Smokey Joe which has the best BBQ Pork Ribs in launceston, without hesitation, i agreed and wanted to jump up high!! And this restaurant is really deserved to be called the Best as i m really; totally; fully satisfied by its and enjoyed my every single bite of the pork ribs. Oh..i am still craving for it now.. And did i mention that they also serve the hottest chilli in world, called HABANERO and it is really super spicy but its nice aroma will just make u to go for a second try despite it burns ur tongue!!
And not forgetting the must-order-dessert Cobbler which tastes like sticky date pudding. The mixed warm and cold feeling in ur mouth will make u cant resist it even though it is so fattening.hehe.

As most of the food photos are still with krystal, so below are just few shots.

The chillis don't look as hot as it looks..













The cobbler:













p.s. i dont have any pork rib shots le..

Sunday:
Morning: Brekkie in a very famous local cafe





























Cas's mouth watering almond croissant(one of the top selling in the bakery) and Ryan's scramble eggs






























Me and krystal with the cranberry croissant and sour dough with kidney beans and baked beans mix.















Chun yen's chocolate croissant (layers of chocolates inside which melt on ur mouth immediately) and King's strawberry pancake.. Awesome!!


































Afternoon:

Tamar Valley (Swiss Village)





































































Wineyard:

We had wine testing in two wineyards, me and krystal prefer the sweet white wine while the others opt for red wines eg. the famous pinot noir.

Highlight:
This wine is named by the owner of his favourite pig and dog, so creative and cute!!

Pig+Pooch = Pig & d' pooch!!














































Batman's Bridge and Low head (lighthouse)
ps. dont ask my why is the bridge called batman.



















Jump up high!!













Batman's Bridge!!
































Evening:
Dinner in Burger Got Soul (the owners in launie are quite creative le..hehe) The burgers are really huge and we all cant finish it. i ordered a Satay Sensation with thickening and yummy satay sauce. Yumm!! The Hot Mamma ordered by Ryan and jason is not bad though and i quite like it. Krystal ordered a brie cheese chicken which is quite filling.

Generally i enjoyed the whole trip to the max!! Thanks to the lovely hosts, skilful photographer, good companions, excellent food, good weather, scenic places, Cas's Wii Fit games, and not forgetting the two cute dogs in Cas's house called Chablis and Shaby!!

Chablis!!

My 1st Musical Drama - Beauty N The Beast

Last Friday was a lovely day for me!! i can still remember every single moments of the musical drama. I really enjoyed the whole musical drama which is about two and half hours le. Not only because it's my favourite Disney Cartoon, but also i can feel the efforts that they put in to make it a blast. Afterall, it's just $50, u cant expect it to be like Phantom Of Opera which costs u over hundred. Generally, the whole drama was really fascinating and i was totally amazed by it!!

I had a very nice girlie shopping with flora and pam too! and we did many crazy stuffs in the Dotti fitting room!! hehe..Gals can easily go crazy when shop together. Below is just a small amount of what we did as most of the photos are with flora.hehe..


































Beauty and the beast
We only managed to a few pictures in front of the royal theatre as camera is not allowed during the musical drama.

































The scene which i like the most of this drama is when Cogsworth(the clock) and Maurice( the candle) and also Mrs.Pot( the teapot) singing "Be Our Guest" to Belle( the beauty) when she was locked in the castle. I love both Cogsworth and Maurice sooo much.. Their acting and singing skills are really excellent!! I am satisfied, instead very satisfied with it!!

The start of three months' holiday!!


Wow! finally i am free from the torturing 2nd year exam already! Life without exam at all is of course excellent but life after long torturing exam is even better!! You will appreciate every single freedom u have now to the fullest!

It's such a long time since i update my post, blame the tonnes of studies during my exam and lots of activities after exam.hehe.

So wat have i been doing these few days?
Tues: Pharmacology paper ended at 4.15pm. woohoo!! Jun tae's korean birthday party at 7pm. He can cook very well too!!

Wed: Shopping and potluck and catching up with friends

Thurs: Attended a conference in Mercure Hotel and made mini muffins for OCF end year celebration

Here's the catch:
By attending the boring, torturing one and half hour conference, and guess what? They gave every single one of us a free iPod shuffle(1GB) , totally free!! and u just have to wait for the 6 weeks delivery plus $10 postage fees which i think it's super worth it!!. OH i m so soooo happy as it's something i always wanted!! haha..Thanks God for ur generousity!! I cant stop laughing now..hehe.



And tonight i am going to watch Beauty and The Beast Musical Drama in royal theatre!! I really want to fly now as i have been waiting for this for a long time too. As this fairytale story has a wonderful meaning to me and i have many sweet memories with this show..

I am really happy now!!

Long Lost Photo!!



Oohoo.two down and two more papers to go!! hehe..

Anyway, i found this long-lost photo from my primary school friend's profile. wow..i hardly have any primary sch photos as i dont like to pose in front of camera when i was children (i dunno whether u all also experience this or it's just me??) So this is sooo 100x precious to me le.hehe..

Wow, i think i look quite different from the photo. i wonder can u all spot me?hehe.
Hint: i got long hair, quite chubby, fierce-looking, play important role in class. hehe. i think the hints pretty obvious right? hehe.
