Cynthia Foo

Two weeks ago, Kian and I headed down to the City for a LEGO affair, Brickvention.
We arrived around noon, and I thought to myself, how many LEGO fans you can possibly get?
The answer is: A LOT!
The queue was as long as the Great Wall of China and I wasn’t joking. The entrance of Melbourne Town Hall faces Swanston Street. LEGO fans were lining up around the building from Collins Street, Russell Street, (keep going, keep going), and all the way to Little Bourke Street!

We were told by the organisers that we might need to stay in the line for at least 1.5 hours before we were able to go in. I was very excited about the bricks. I thought, it was beautiful day to stay in the line anyway, why not get a good dose of cholecalciferol while at it?

Thumbs up for my determination -  I didn’t even get distracted and turn away to shop at Collins Street.
Having said that, LEGO has more class than LV and Gucci at any time, my friends

Brickvention organisers had been very thoughtful and caring. They had been going around offering water and sunscreen to everyone. Thanks guys!

I had fun lining up and having conversation with those people around me. The elderly lady told us, how her son was building LEGO, and her grandson is doing the same thing. Those mums at the front were informing us how LEGO brings lotsa fun in their household.

I remember sharing LEGO with my brother when I was little; I never really own one and build a massive one. I didn’t have my own place to keep my bricks (They aint cheap!) Deep down, I told myself, whenever I own my place, I will start building LEGO again. and I did

After approximately 2 hours in line, we were finally arrived! Woohoo! Overheard some kids were saying this: Mum, I have the energy to line up, I don’t think I have theenergy to walk when I get in.

How cute

There were people everywhere. Literally, everywhere.

As we walked in, this castle caught my attention. For Harry Potter’s fans:

Of course, the highlight of the day was The Love Boat. (more from The Age)

It was built by Ryan McNaught with a quarter of million of bricks. Did you hear that? A.QUATER.OF.MILLION.

Mr McNaught introduced himself when we were there. His determination, passion is very inspiring. I was absolutely amazed - the feeling was like, a baby geek meeting a ‘Jedi’ geek. He is a true master.

I was disappointed the fact that I didn’t get to spot David Hassellhoff. Rumour had it he was somewhere, and I just couldn’t find it. Argh!!! I got pushed away and nearly ended up in tears. Bloody hell. I wasn’t done yet!

p/s: Thanks Ryan, I have to say this again, The Love Boat is freakkn’ amazing and I love it!

There were many other interesting LEGO models at Brickvention. Note to future self, must rock up early next year to spend more time at event venue.

For Star Wars’ fans! Hey look! It’s the Death Star yo~!

Death Star is made from ~3000 pieces of bricks. It features most of the great details seen in the movie. Erm, this is something I have been consider for my next project *hint hint* My birthday is coming up!

Another exciting stop was: MINIFIGS!!

I nearly wanted to faint when I saw the minifigs! I was in love!
Well, I didn’t mean to spend so much on minifigs, but I thought, for ALL the effort lining up to get in here, I would regret it if I didn’t spend some moolah.

The event had more visitors than the organisers had expected. Overall, it was still a great fun! It was LEGO after all.

See you all next year!

My my my! Where should I start?

2010 had been a great year for me. The only complaint I’ve got is, I can never have enough time for more things to happen in my life.

1. January
It had been a few weeks since I started my new job at that time. I KNEW I won’t stay for that group for more than 3 months. I just knew. I was kinda ‘depressed’ partly because I didn’t have Kian with me.

On the bright side, I watched tennis @ Australian Open! E* was flying in from the West. We spent some girlie time together. It was fantastic!

2. February
I had finally moved into our love nest. I had spent some times driving around, getting bits and pieces done. It was quite an experience driving around in Victoria especially in Melbourne City. Guess what? I survived the Hook-Turns! Yay me!

I still can’t believe this is our OWN place. *deep breath*

I can’t describe how good we feel about our new place - the living area wall was painted in three of my favorite colors: sunflower yellow, pistachio green and sunrise orange.

February is my birthday month. I decided to travel to Tasmania and visited my girlfriend whom I haven’t met since NAPSA Congress 2007!

 

New friends meet, old friends reunited.
I experienced snow in the Summer for the first time
3. March
I received another job offer not long after I had dropped my resume off at a local pharmacy. A phone that had come through seemed like the light of the end of (another) tunnel

I took a few days flying off to fly to Perth, a place where I once called home. Saying good-bye to friends hadn’t been an easy one especially you know the next trip will be far far away. On the bright side, Melbourne is so much awesome, and a lot more to look forward to!

By the end of the March, I was officially joining the Pharmacy Australia Congress Sub-committee Members organizing several social events

Kian joined me in Melbourne. We were finally together again. We celebrated 9th year anniversary.

For the kick start of our life in Melbourne, I’ve decided to attend Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix.

4. April

I had my 23rd blood donation in my life.

Started working in a new pharmacy.

This is another learning journey for me. I’ve kept myself busy going around in Melbourne City, sourcing out the best venues for PAC2010. Priceless learning journey for me especially being in a new place.

We both have been working very hard. We needed the money for the house. For the first time in my life, I miss my mum and dad very badly. What had happened to the generous allowance from the old folks?

For the very first time in my life, I feel like a grown-up. Officially.

I’ve never stop being a foodie, eating out and playing hard.
We had a great night at Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Here’s a little secret, I’ve always wanted to be the extra in the stand-up “Thank God You’re Here”. I wanted to say THANK GOD YOU’RE HERE out loud when the celebrity comedian walking through the door.

How awesome is that?

5. May

Had a car accident. Ouch! A mum hit my car. No one hurts at the end. Thank Buddha for that!

Work, PAC2010 had been keeping me occupied.

During this month, I was already able to swim 100 laps. Non-stop.

Apart from those physical activities, I had been watching a fair bit of documentaries, reading loads of geeky stuffs.
Knowledge is power.

We never failed taking a short break from all the daily routines; Russell Peters was in town. You guess it right, we went and watched his show.

6. June

Kian and I spent sometimes exploring a few more places in the City.

Croft Institute

We tried out more Yum Cha places in Melbourne too! I have to say that Yum Cha over here is so awesome!!

I was invited by Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (Victoria) for being the Official Photographer for one of their event, Horizon.

The event was taken place in Cossar Hall. It brought me back to the good ol’ NAPSA memories from my student days. It was back in 2007, I was the Official Photographer for the first time in my life. Here I am, back again for the same role, yet an Early Career Pharmacist (ECP)

I had never been serious in learning any musical instrument. Just like any Chinese Asian parents out there, my dear mother got me to play do-re-mi before I started kindergarten. The result was absolutely expectedly bizarre.
Thank mum for not dis-owning me at that time.

I never gave up wanting to play piano. But throughout out my life, I never settled in a place where I can call my own ‘home’. My parents sent me far away from home for further education. I moved more than a few times for the many levels of education.

Secretly, I have been telling myself, if I ever own my place, I will play a piano from start.

11th June 2010, I bought my first Yamaha acoustic piano in my life.

24th June: 24th blood donations

I’ve been introduced to Kian’s cousins.

7. July

15th July - I enrolled myself in a local music school, started playing c,d,e all over again.
My piano teacher is Steve Jaz, and he is awesome!

Good news. Another job offer! Bigger role, better location. Well, the workplace is close to home. 3 minutes from home, literally.

Light from the other end of the tunnel. Well, sorta. I am not complaining. My competitive nature defines my own ‘light’ in super mega watts, not those you see in story books- that candle-powered light.

I took a few days off from work. Flew oversea and visited my parents. I wanted to tell them the good news.
Dad was happy for me, deep down I could tell he wanted me to carry on with his business.
Daddy, I am sorry I’ve chosen a slightly different path. But I promise, I will make you proud.

The trip is not complete without awesome noms.

Got invited as the Official Photographer for the second time at PSA event, Pharmacy Student of The Year (Victoria).

p/s: something worth mentioned for this month: I watched a shitty movie: Twilight Saga.
8. August

More work.
There were many question marks constantly floating in my mind. What if this, what if that.. too many what-ifs, yet so little answers.

30th August, I survived my first day at work as a Managing Pharmacist.

9. September

Here’s come the Spring! Woohoo!

Watched an awesome movie: Inception

Finally got to do my tax return. Disappointed.

10. October

Super duper busy. Endless to-do(s) in the diary pages.

PAC2010

Early Career Pharmacist Working Group (ECP WG) Cocktail Night was a great success! YAY me! So happy!

Thanking Ramesh for providing the ‘bolts and nuts’ networking game. I hope he liked the cake that Tara and myself organized for his birthday.

11. November

My first time at Melbourne Cup. It is so different to see the horses racing in tv screen and those in real life.
It was very overwhelming.
The fashion, hats, crowds .. …
Best of all, I won some money! ^^

Two weddings to attend for this month.
I headed to Singapore for a long weekend in order to attend my girlfriend’s wedding.

Julia looks absolutely stunning! It has been a long journey for her and her hubby before they tied the knot. I was so happy for her!
When I was asked when I will be getting married, you know what, I really don’t know.

It was fun to meet up with my sister in between my busy schedule for some shopping. In the meantime, I met up with Elaine.
Had one of the biggest steroidal-boosted prawn and lobster in Singaporean style. Oh my! That’s was gooood!

Tip over and sprained my ankle. fml.

Attended Kian’s cousin’ wedding

1001 people asking us ‘the’ same question.

Work had organized a dress-up Christmas function started early.
Me and Kian went party in m&m’s

That was fun! Not until you had too much to drink and rocked up at the cousin’s wedding the very next morning with gastro bugs.

12. December
Back at Cossar Hall for the 3rd time being the Official Photographer for PSA.

I had my very first piano performance at local Town Center. I played “The Closet Thing to Crazy” by Katie Mehlua. I am pleased with my performance, hoping I will do better next year this time around.

Another new journey had begun for me at Early Career Pharmacist Working Group when I was elected as National Representative for Victorian Branch. Can’t wait for another exiting year ahead!

We bought the very first Christmas tree!

Got bitten by White-tailed Spider on Christmas Eve. I have been sick ever since. The whole body feels like I got run over by Megatron. What the heck I thought. I still drove all the way to South Melbourne Market to pick up some fresh seafood.

Christmas was spent at home eating seafood to our heart contents.

I had spent the last few days of December stacking Lego while nursing the wounded toes.

It wasn’t hard to put up the Imperial Flagship. The main challenge was looking for THE RIGHT PIECE for THE RIGHT PART. Let alone the spider toxin had been playing up in my body, I suffered from all sort of signs and symptoms. I will hunt that little wanker down and peel his legs off - one by one.

2010 was a great year.
Before I finish off this blog post, allow me a mini Oscar-like thank-you speech.

Thank you Bill Suen, Francis Ip, Judy Sinclair and Brownwyn Flanagan from PSA Victoria for having me in the family. I am very much looking forward for another new start

Thank you for putting up with me my dear colleague(s). It’s not the easiest task to do so, but you’ve done well.  :)

Thanks mum, dad, koko, Shuoh and Alli. Your love is everything to me.

Thank you all the family (other side), friends for all the great times and memories.

Thanks Honey, 2010 couldn’t be this AWESOME without you. Love you.

For those who are still reading this blog, I sincerely wish you all the best in 2011.

xoxo

Short Talk: I’m now paying (almost) full attention on European Grand Prix. The last time when I gave it a miss because I wanted to wake up at 4am to watch FIFA (Australia vs Germany) - as it turned out, Soccerroos got their arse kicked big time.
Worst, when I wasn’t watching the Grand Prix, my favorite German driver Sebastian Vettel wasn’t on the podium. fml. Hence, I told myself I must not miss any Grand Prix till the end of the season. *amen*

Another food blog! This time we went to Pelican Landings, Williamstown.
I have to warn you before hand, you need a massive mega dose of anti-histamine to read this post, and I am not joking at all

We both ordered a seafood platter each.
It was so massive that I had to turn the plate around - 360 degree to take photos of the plate.  Ish, just like how Mark Webber’s car flipped over in European Grand Prix.

The platter consists both cold and hot seafood. Genuinely fresh.

Calamari, king prawns, tiger prawns…

crab, yabby, scallops, clams, mussels..

*blurb*

It was a huge effort to polish the big plate, I must confess.
But I was very pleased and happy - mainly because I got to spend a great night out with Kian though my cholesterol level surely had gone up for a bit.
Great! Come to think of it, I need a dose of statin.

It has been a while since I last talked about food porn on my blog. I didn’t get to explore a lot more restaurants when I was in Perth as I always go back to the same ones. Now that I am in Melbourne, yeeeha! I can try something completely new.

One of the very first stops at Ajisen Ramen.
It is famous for Japanese dishes

And guess what? two idiots were crazing for carb and we ordered rice instead:

They weren’t Japanese at all.

HA!

Hi all !!! (BIG SMILE)

No, I haven’t completely forgotten about my blog yet.

I’d moved in to our house since Feb, but we haven’t got internet. Can you believe that? NO INTERNET! argh

We applying for one - fibre internet. fingers crossed

So, what’s happening in my life since I moved to Melbourne?

Where shall I begin?

1. House : officially fully furnished! Yay! I wanted to get everything done by end of May, and this is it! A typical microwave-generation in me.
From tv units, coffee table, bed and all. We even bought a kick-ass tv. PS 3 is on its way. [photos later]

2. Food: I never and I haven’t forget the foodie in me. I’ve tried so many cuisines over here. They have so many varieties of food over here. ZOMG! I’ve tried Greek, Spanish, Morrocon, Mexican, (more) Italians.. Comparing to Perth, Melbourne food is CHEAP!! Oh-so-good~! Right now as Im typing this, I’m eating French patisserie.

2.5. Melbourne: We attend an event once a month - just to feel the ‘Melbourne’ out there. From Australia Open, Melbourne Comedy Festial, Qantas Grand Prix (Vettel waved at me!!!!), Russels Peter. Lotsa things going on, and I love it!

3. Work: same old sh*t , different day

4. Boyfriend: same boyfriend, everyday.  

What’s happening next?

Keyboard! I want to learn how to play a piano. I’ve found a piano teacher too. She is Romanian ^^

A small trip to country Victoria?

Er.. I will and I definitely will blog about it.

 

Till then, see you soon

Big hugs

Cynthia x

 

Till then

 

Here I am!! Hobart, Tasmania!
Landed this morning.

I’ve decided to book a ticket to fly down Tazzie for my birthday. *randomism*

see, I have no family for Chinese New Year, no boyfriend for V day in Melbourne.
February seems a bit depressing in Melbourne.

Hence, I’ve decided to do something that I never done before : visiting Tazzie!!

I went to a few places , catched up with a few old friends. It is absolutely wonderful!

Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes- phone calls, SMS, facebook msg, cards, letters. Keep them coming! I feel loved.

Now, I just have to call mum to thank her for all the hardwork to bring me to this world. Thanks mum and I love you.

Happy birthday to me! Yay!

Hello from Melbourne Park and welcome to Australian Open 2010

This is my second visit here. The last time was when I was here was back in 2007.

 

Well, Australian Open is ALL about tennis, but if you aren’t a massive fan like me, it is in fact still quite fun being there.
Okay. I lied. I might not be able to tell all the tennis players especially the female ones. But I surely can tell you who is the good looking male tennis players *cheeky grin*

Apart from freebies, awesome tennis ambience, another good thing about going to Melbourne Park for the Australia Open is hanging out with good friends! 

 

I had E* !!

E* travelled all the way from the Wild West. Woohoo!

Me and E* attended NAPSA Congress 2007 - It was the congress that brought us here. We have been talking about it ever since and we wanted to come back to Australian Open to see Federer! and here we are! *smile*

We were told that Andy Roddick was practicing at Court 16. I couldn’t I actually see him in real person. I was stunned. I didn’t even what to do. Kian said he is not the best player, so no point getting him to put his autograph on my souvenir. LOL

We stood under the hot sun, protecting the earth under us from the harmful UV rays for a while. We then decided to try our luck if we could score 2 tickets for that night Federer playing against the Romanian dracula Victor Hanescu.

We stayed in the line approximately 2-3 hours and guess what? We managed to get the tickets! Yay!

We were told that the wait was purely a gamble. The organisation won’t guarantee we would get tickets. The moment we got the tickets, we made our way to the bar and got some drinks.

The moment we walked off the bar, some random lady offered me two tickets to HiSense Arena. *yay for free tickets!*
We watched Serena Williams played!!!!!

Oh! Federer practicing.

7pm. The game started. I must say it was quite boring. *yawn*

Victor’s spirit and confident was broken. Audiences sitting around us screaming ‘Come on Victor’ instead of giving their support to Fedex.

I nearly fell asleep. Honestly. Well, not until they kept showing His Highness Prince William’s face on the big screen!

That’s right. Prince William. No. Don’t ask me about his crown patch. You people are so mean. *_*

Tonight is the final - Federer vs Murray. I keep my fingers crossed. No matter who is winning, I believe it is gonna be an awesome game

Fingers crossed.

*mwah*

Here I am, the last day of Sydney post. Long overdue.

Pete kindly drove me around the City for various tourist activities. ^^ 

As far as I can recall, I was dead tired and I was more than happy to take things easy. Pete took me to a theather. We both were hoping to score some free tix. Pete was very into it, I told him not to get overly excited because I don’t usually bring good luck for free things like this.

My verdict was right. We ended up leaving for the reality: Yum Cha!!!

Pete told me that wasn’t the best yum-cha in town. The best one in some suburbs apparently.
I guess it was okay. I don’t mind trying new things and see what I got him into?
Turn that man to become a foodie~!? T_T

We strolled along the streets in the City. It was fantastic! Sydney is massive, rich, vibrant and very very busy. I enjoy being a tourist in such a massive City, but I don’t see myself living here. Everything is not cheap.

Look! Pharmacy with Chinese business name

Pete took us to the ferry ride around the Opera House.
I was overwhelmed with this complicated looking schedule. Told ya, Sydney is busy or it was just me being cannot-be-bothered at that time? ^^

10 bucks for the ride.

Some obligatory photos of The Bridge:

Opera House. [tick off the to-do list in Sydney]

The weather was absolutely gorgeous~! Sun, breeze and gf Jane from Taiwan *bliss*

I took a few photos around here and there.. after half an hour or so, I fall asleep, and I kid you not. I did!

Well, no regrets. I needed a rest. It was the best arvo nana nap ever thou
Best 10 bucks I’ve ever spent!

Last photo taken by Pete.

p/s: I feel like I’ve grown up soooo much within the last month. Starting everything new in Victoria has pushing myself to the limit. There were some teary sleepless nights, but I will pull this thru’. I realise no matter where I go, they are the SAME. I am still in the room, same working environment, and driving the same car. The only missing part is Kian. He completes me.

2009! Holy Moly! What.a.year!

I don’t even know where should I start? (I need to pop a few propanolol before I read my 2009 diary)

1. Career path
Life working as a Licensed Pharmacist is pretty stressful, I reckon. Well, at least we need a lot more concentration while doing drugs. It is so much different from my intern life back in the good ol’ intern days. However, I always remind myself to smile all the time, and don’t forget my sense of humour (if I ever got one)

I have been working here and there. It is pretty interesting meeting so many people. Working 3 months in a country town in WA was an experience too. I am glad I did that.

2. Achievement(?)
Not sure if this is the right description. I don’t see these as achievement, but it is more like a learning curve for me.
I am very glad that I took up the role as Logistic Chairperson of NAPSA Congress Perth 2009 in January. It was amazing! I am very proud what I’d achieved, and I amazed myself that I could do THAT much. But of course without those helps from the Helpers, I don’t think the Organising Committees could organise a successful Congress. Thanks again!

I finished my term as Merchandise Officer while I attended 55th IPSF World Congress in Bali around July.
A few pieces of merchandises were organised: pins, polo-shirts, mortar and pestles. It was a pretty interesting experience but I don’t think I will get involved in near future for the time being.
Speaking of IPSF, a big thank go to PDL and PSWA for sponsoring my trip to Bali.
Leaders-in-Training program was something new to me, I enjoyed the friendship I’ve got more than the content of the course. First time attending IPSF Congress. GA was absolutely/somewhat pointless. Politically, diplomatically, anally painful. Thank god for those amazing friends I’ve meet! They brightened up those days in Bali. Next time when I go back to IPSF Congress, you know I am doing it for the friends .. and the drinks! *think Bintang* ^^
What other lessons I’ve learned? Oh! Never ever trusted those wankers who used to call you friend, but end up turning around and poke you with a knife. Worst, they pretended nothing had happened. seriously fhl.

I got elected as IPSF APRO (Asia Pacific Regional Office) Regional Project Officer (RPO). No biggie. Really. The title itself might scare you off but I am just doing my part as the new generation of young Pharmacist who want to get involved more. Yes, I am this innocent that I believe there’s a hope in our future. *shake head but yay me!*

I travelled to Sydney, attending Pharmacy Australia Congress (PAC) for more works on behalf of IPSF-APRO. It was fruitful but very tiring. Well, it is worth it. I hope.

All this while, I’ve spend more time emailing more than blogging. Fantabulous!

3. Holiday/Traveling
Kian and me traveled to Asia during May. We visited both East and West Malaysia. Mulu (Borneo) was the highlight! Freaking awesome!
Best thing about West Malaysia: food! Shopping was fantastic too! Ask Kian, he bought a lot clothes. He is the real shopaholic.

After Bali Congress in July, my family flew in Bali and see me. We spent almost a week together there in Bali. Having daddy, mummy and popo is one of best moments in my life. Daddy is a darling sweetheart because he paid for almost everything ! My mummy is super duper awesome. Popo is funny, she has endless of sense of humour. Best, mummy and popo are my drinking buddies.

I did a brief visit in Sydney while I was there for PAC. At the end of the day, I was so tired that I slept during the ferry ride. fml. I didn’t want to do heaps in Sydney as I want to save the best with Kian next time when I go there. Hehehe

Traveling is fun when it didn’t involve Congress and work. Nuff said.

3. Health.
I’m still the same. Apart from a few episodes of cold, asthma attack, severe allergic reaction and panic attack, I am still alive. Kicking. Thank gawd for that!

4. Relationship - I am still with Kian. (YAY!) 3 months till 9-years anniversary. Still counting and going strong. Don’t ask me when I am getting married. Ask him when he is popping THE question. But you know what, I feel like I am already married him. Everything he does, he makes me smile. *grin*
I am luckiest lady in this world. I love my Ney.

4.1 Family. I am blessed with an awesome family. Daddy, mummy, popo, brothers, sister [yes, I have a sister. She is freaking tall but I still love her, and always do], aunties, uncles, and all my cousins. You guys rock!

4.2. Friends - Friends from all walk of life. The list is as far as The Great Wall of China. I am blessed to have you all. A phone call, a helping hand, a smile, a bed to sleep, a bowl of rice, a listener, a hug, a kiss, a few drinks, an email, a Hello.. sometimes I wonder, what have I’d done to deserve you all? *emo*

Oh! One thing that I have mention over here: I finally get to see Fish Fish and Ed. Hooray!.

5 Sh*t happend
My car got stolen on 1st November when I went for a swim in Victoria Park, WA.
I was getting change in the shower room, an aboriginal teen stole the key from my bag and drove my car away. I bought my car for less than 24 months!! Thank God I have insurance, they’ve got me a brand new one. Phew
(In case you are wondering, NO,I didn’t pre-arrange this to happen. I have everything recorded in surveillance camera from the recreation park where I went. I am not that dodgy)

Misc: I was officially not sleeping in my own bed for more than 6 months in 2009.

I traveled to Victoria on December. I’ve landed a job here. (still a Pharmacist selling drugs).
We bought a house here and picked up my new car in Doncaster. Everything happened within 9 days. What a record.
Things happens so fast that I can’t even believe this. Buying a house wasn’t even in my 2009 To-Do List!
Here I am in the new place, new house, new car, new job and a new life. I am loving it!

2009 - PHEW~! Everything happened so quickly! I didn’t even get a chance to take a break.

2010 is going to be interesting.
I don’t have any big plans thou.
I need to save up more money ‘cos I pretty much dump all my money for the house.
I am hoping to travel a bit - say Korea in July, Slovenia/Romania/Germany in August, Singapore in November and Sarawak in December? Hopefully. Sigh. I need a money-printing machine. So depressing when I look at my bank account. Pathetically broke.
I am going to read more books! I will do more CE and gain more CE points! Yay for me! I am a nerd!
What else? Oh yes, I want to watch more historic and scientific documentaries.
Another thing, I am going to train myself to use my left hands for chopsticks. Something outta the blue that I want to do.

Anyway, I am all excited for 2010. I can’t wait to move forward and do more things in my life.

Thank you all for your New Year Good Luck wishes. Wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2010!

Cheers!

Don’t you freaking tell me you can’t recognise me in these photos
