i was so eager to get a teddy heat pack ever since the trip to tasmania.. and because i am so bloody fussy, it took me months to search one that fits all the criterias. (like, it must be a teddy bear and it must have lavender smell. if possible, something purple on the bear!) :D

sadly, the first bear leaked out some stuff, which i have no clue of what that is. :(

some sandy stuff..

i purchased this item online, and i emailed them about the problem and they immediately packed a new one to be shipped tomorrow. so efficient! :)

a few days later, i collected my parcel from the concierge. i can't go up yet cuz i was still on the phone with mom. later line say bye-bye. =\

anyways, the second one is soooo properly wrapped up!

chak chak chak... open..

taadahhh!

second bear! and it's not leaking shit anymore! teeheee!

sorry, bear with me. :D

omg i haven't seen something that is not made in china in a longgggg time... :O

a big thank you to andyanna.com.au for being sooo efficient! (:

it was a sunday afternoon where i suddenly felt like eating dimsum, that very instance. but i was already 4pm, and i haven't had anything for lunch.

i google-d and called a few restaurants to make sure they still have dimsum before heading to the place. eventually i found yum cha cafe. it's located at the corner of little bourke and exhibition street.

the mini teapot is so cute!

so cute that i went on humming 'i'm a little teapot, short and stout...'. the couple sitting next to us were STARING at our table the whole time. must be my fault. ;_;

the waitress serving dimsum~

there are so many definitions of yum cha, depending on how you interpret it.

for me, it's about food and drinks. must also include the 'chui shui' sessions.

everytime i tell mommy and daddy that i'm going out to yumcha, they'll say "the tea outside nicer is it?!"

sometimes they'll say, "i make for you la!! house no tea to drink meh?", just to make me stay at home. but you know me, i'll end up going out also.

hk's definition of yumcha is dimsum and drink tea (direct translation), correct me if i'm wrong.

nowadays, our yumcha is go to murni for mango special.

and not forgetting roti beckham, roti hawaii, roti whatever you wanna name it..
so peoplessss.. what is your definition of yumcha?!

this lo bak gou (carrot cake) is not much of a difference with the ones from pasar malam, except for the price. $.$

char siao bao (bbq pork bun) ho chiak ah!

liyin's like a mirror of myself man - seeing how she keeps going on with her camera.

the very very sad mangoloh! frozen ice mango. and the whole white stuff is SAGO! what the hell, eat sago until i wanna vomit!

aih, what a failure. don't feel like eating anymore mangoloh in aus. i'm so going back to malaysia to eat mangoloh. sobs. still, pasar malam ones are the best. ><"

my masterpiece!

me tengah yumcha.

i forced them to join the yumcha picture session also. ngek ngek ngek.

li yin and little teapot!

tengliang got so tired of me already. hahaaa!

bie : STOP SNAPPING ME LAAAA... SHOO

cupcake shop opening at QV. this pic is for jerine! :D

the state library!

the guys went to es teler at swanston street (next to don don, i think?) to tapau mee goreng. the dimsum didn't do a good job. they want something more than just yumcha. dimsum is like light food to them. :(

their mee goreng is quite mamak style. not bad ah! mee goreng seafood is guuuuuuud. yums! i'm quite curious actually. what the hell is "TEK-TEK"?

ah, second last picture already.

last picture before we split. T______T let's go out again! :D

a few people mentioned about the $2 fish and chips at crown casino, so we went around looking for it. i still can't find it. anyone knows where is it? :( sob sob. anyways we settled for georges instead.

lasagna?

carbonara

salad

..and the chocolate mud cake!!

liyin and tengliang~

boobymarkkk!

yeapguanguan!

when i asked for salad and chocolate mud cake, the waitress asked me a stupid question. "do you want it to be together?" of course no lor! where got people serve salad and cake on the same plate??? silly.

bimbo next to me!

the salad is not nice. like grass! sob.

i like the cake though it'll make me fat.

yum!

i found a friend in common! shopping, picture, cupcakes, ahhh! meet liyin!!! :D
