Just have to do this

Ok, now holiday's gone...

What have I really been doing during the holiday? Didn't fly out for vacation and I can say I didn't even get out of melbourne city area except for picking up my couz at the airport and on last saturday had a superb dinner with my aunt family and wonderful cousins at aunt's in Lower Templestowe. Yes, I have many many relatives here, three 2nd aunts (makes 3 uncs) and 2nd cousins - 10 of them if I am counting correctly or could be more.

Then another trip to Austin Health in Heidelberg on Sunday.

In summary, my hols is -

1. Seriously MOVIE MARATHON - some have been in my hard disc for ages, while some from my couz. The list of movies I watched for the past weeks is enormous! (ok, maybe not for you but yes for me)
- Love Actually <3>
- Beauties of Drift
- The Longest Yard (again)
- Shooter
- Forest Gump
- American Pie 1
- American Pie Beta House (just proves how ridiculous ams are)
- Pride and Prejudice ( I watched it again right after I finished it! Intensely gooooood movie!)
- Atonement
- 27 Dresses
- Gone baby Gone
- Stomp the Yard
- Hairspray

and some unfinished LAS VEGAS 4th season. Just can't get enough of that cutie!!

and and YES, I haven't watch Sex and the city, Kungfu Panda & Hancock that everyone has been HOO HAAing about. Doesn't matter. Wait they go on DVDs then I can get to watch them over and over again! lol.

2. READING - ahhhh, I don't read fast so still reading the same book since holiday started. I am just that kind who likes to take my time to read and slowly absorb the story line. The book - Once I was a Princess by Jaqueline Pascarl (well, more known to Malaysian as ex-spouse of Raja Bahrin). I realised that I have a lot of opinion about the whole "incident" and furore.

3. HOSTING - As mentioned in earlier post. My couz is here to study. Spent lots and lots of time with her doing the bonding thing. hehe. Showed her around melbourne to get her familiarised with the city, shopping!! (both of us are proven reinforcing factor on each other), baking, gossiping, watching movies (she taught me to switch off the lights which I never done when I am watchin alone) and ahhhh.. the late nights girl talk. I miss her already. She moved out to her Southbank apartment on Sunday. =( and yeah, I just have to mention this - fyi, she is one year older than me and taken. gg.

4. SELF IMPROVEMENTS - Attended two courses during this hols. One being the Complementary medicines course by Blackmores held in Uni on the 3rd July. And the second one, I completed the Barista course!! Yeayness!! It was awesome experience with lots and lots of skill learnt. Espresso, mocha or latte, anyone? or you name it - flat white (proudly australian), macchiato, etc etc.. and guess what, there is such coffee serving called Babycino too. awww.. how cute is that?

5. CATCH UPS with friends - Made a list of people I would like to see during my exam then completed the mission during holidays except for one. Fui, I will definitely have to catch you soon! To fellow Kemamanians in Melbourne (Jen, Ai jien & Yogi), thanks for making it to the dinner. Sat and chat all our way through for 3.5 hours in that restaurant recalling those high school moments and friends are just so heartwarming. Love to do so much more often! and to Kristle, finally!! Lastly, D, it is just so relaxing to have a cuppa with you.

All in all, I am satisfied with how I spent my holiday.
Simply lovely!
