Hong Kong Part 1
I was there for only 3 days, and 60% of my time went to Disneyland.... Unfortunately I never really get that chance to be in Hong Kong for a long time. The last time was just a few hours... At least I had 3 days this time.
This is the only Disneyland I've spent my time in the most, and made the most of out it. I've never had such cute buns before!!! I doubt you can get it in any other Disneylands :)
Disneyland is rather small compared the other Disneylands in the world.. However that was in Jan 2012, the park has already been extended since the last time I went.
Jerine brought me along, which was a bad choice! I didn't dare to go on thrill rides simply because... I'm scared... I still am, so don't ever drag me up.
Jerine blogged about it some time ago... Obviously you'll get more out from her posts since she had the balls to go on all the thrill rides. I went on most of the boring rides.... :P
However I did enjoy the shows.. Like this weird combination, Asian girl in blonde-haired wig. Lol.. She'd probably look better in cheongsam instead XD
I underestimated the weather in HK, it was pretty cold when we arrived. I did a weather check and it was about 10ish degrees and I thought, ahh nvm HK is never THAT cold. So I was WRONG!!!!!! Thank goodness Nicole lent me her blue scarf! Felt toasty after wrapping that around my neck. :)
Spot Jerine!! Obviously I dare not go up with her. Hahahahahahaha....
The pretty castle at night. It's small compared to the other Disneylands though. The one in Paris and Anaheim (I completely left out that post as well omg) are much larger ;O
We had dinner at Corner Cafe after... Click here for more pictures ^^
Gong Hei Fatt Choy! This hat is only available in HK I'm pretty sure! So 'Chinesey'!
Goodbye Disneyland! Not exactly, we came back the next day for even more rides. :O

The Convocation Day
I went back to Melbourne just for the convocation.. Unfortunately there is only one convocation every year which runs in December. The fabulous thing about RMIT's graduation is that graduation parade that conquers Melbourne's main street, Swanston Street. Graduates will march down the street celebrating the day they are finally done. Unfortunately I was a little too lazy to march down that street... So I skipped the parade.
At Crown Hotel, all prepared to go to Etihad Stadium :)
The day I have been waiting for has finally arrived... But honestly, attending convocation is so damn troublesome -_-
Those processes to go through with, booking robes, collecting it, photo shoots, studio photos, waiting for my turn, returning robes, oh my god it is really troublesome.
The weather was perfect that day... not too hot. December in Melbourne is the beginning of Summer, which is horrifically a nightmare in January...
Despite the fact that convocation is boring.. It is something that one shouldn't skip!! I personally feel that this ceremony marks the end of a phase and also a beginning of another phase in life. :)
The bros! I came to Melbourne in 2009 with Chak and we attended that ceremony together. Bros forever ah!
Chak and I are just BSc graduates, Febby attended for her MSc!
Because it's so troublesome I did think of forgoing MSc's convocation but.. I changed my mind after seeing a bunch of graduates in Kingston with their robes on. It's just something I won't ever get the chance to attend again because I'm not going to do any other courses anymore :P
Officially a graduate ^___^
No grass, no sun, yet we are throwing the mortarboard off. Wheeee...
So, this marks the end of my degree... I've officially joined the RMIT Alumni ^_^!!!! Well actually it has been two years since, oh well :P
I can't wait for the convocation in Kingston. Hopefully it'll be just as good, or even better. :)

Bali, Indonesia
Another rather delayed post... It was my first time ever to the much talked about Bali.. Bali is always associated to beach, sun, sea and sand. I've always wanted to go... Finally :)
I can't remember the name of the hotel we stayed at... I remember it was at Nusa Dua area.
Please don't fart!!!
First thing to do before jumping into the pool...... CAMWHORE O_O
It's always difficult to jump into the pool T_T Too damn cold!!
Lunch time! The cab driver was super nice. We told him where we wanted to have nice local food and he brought us here.
I wanted to order the famous Bebek Bertutu (Duck) but they ran out of it... So we had to get the chicken instead. Click here for more extensive review and pictures.
Come to think of it... Jerine's Bali's curse seems quite true... Wtf! Anyway I'm just kidding. It's only a myth yo!
Spot my ultra bling Blackberry!! Oh well that's ancient now. I've already converted to Apple T_T
Time passes so damn fast. It has only been two years since our trip to Bali and now Jac is getting MARRIED.
Anyway we donated a small amount of money and we were given blessings that's why we had bits of rice on our foreheads ^_^
Off to watch sunset with the girls! Says who watching sunset is only for couples?
I got the sun I got the sun
I kissed the sun and I like it
Sipping coconut juice and watching sunset. Such blissful life!
There goes the "egg yolk"!
You'll see this on the way out... Be sure to get it! It's one sinful snack!!
...Petronas Twin tower!! =D
We roamed around the next day and we found this little heavenly gem!! It feels like I've been disconnected from the world or something.. The wind was really strong and it's just so relaxing so lie and do nothing.
...Ok maybe just a text message. :P
I swear I would have "Insta-ed" the place immediately if I could!!!
On top of that, I'll have to say we were so damn LUCKY!!!!!!!! An earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hit the island the following day after we left. RIGHT AFTER WE LEFT. I couldn't asked for more really. >_<
