Dear Chibi,

@ Blackbird Cafe~

Dear Chibi,
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Eternal Sailor Moon Gashapon off a Sailor Moon toy collector and finally received it yesterday! yay~

Although I own many anime figurines and some gorgeous PVC statues, I always felt a little sad inside knowing that I didn’t own a single one from Sailor Moon ~ which is my favourite of all time. Sailor Moon merchandise was extremely hard to obtain living in Sydney, and for years everything was out of print. I’m so glad this came up for sale~ now I finally have something to display my love for the show :D

Dear Chibi,

Just a day out with my twin :D I also got to test out my new HTC phone camera X3 I love it so much, hehehe!

Saw some awesome lion dancing! It just happened that the escalator we were standing on broke down, so we had an awesome view!

Our favourite “food court” food! Soya Chicken Noodle soup ^-^ (I also like Chicken laksa..!)

Playing with the camera effects :)

Dear Chibi,
After 7 months of upgrade overdue-ness, I finally got myself a new phone~the HTC Sensation XL :D
It came with these really nifty Beats Audio earphones too. I can’t wait to use them :)

Dear Chibi,

So it’s back to work today. The 2 week break was really relaxing and I enjoyed it thoroughly :) I feel alive again. It’s been 3 days since I’ve returned from my Adelaide trip, but I still find myself daydreaming about it, hehe.

Originally, I was going to write up a entry about my overall thoughts and experiences of 2011. However, what I should be focusing on is the coming year and what I want to gain from it.

“Enjoy the new set of 366 days folks. It’s plenty of time to achieve whatever you have planned.” – MZ

So here is my list of resolutions for 2012:

• Eat and drink well (avoid fatty, unhealthy junk food)
• Walk an hour everyday
• Learn to cook basic dishes- rice, meat, veggies etc so that I can actually feed myself
• Be more physically active- play squash regularly, take dance classes
• Go to Japan :D
• Find a new job around mid-year. Approaching 4 years in July, I feel it’s time to change my work environment.
• MoonSticks. I’ve delayed the comics for about a year now, and although I don’t know if I’ll end up achieving this, it has always been on my mind. I’m going to see if I can make this happen again.
• Get into Masters league for Starcraft 2 solo. Originally I was going to aim for Diamond league, but since I got there on NA recently, I thought why not challenge myself and aim higher? It’s going to be difficult and I know it, but I’d like to see how much I can progress in a year.
• Make a budget. Keep records of spending/savings

What are your goals for 2012? :)

Dear Chibi,

The 8 of us (Jacky, Burpy, Ray, MZ, Emily, Meeko, Mel and I) have spent the last couple of days exploring the city of Adelaide. Now you’re probably wondering the same thing I was: What’s there to do in Adelaide? Well, read on and find out :D

Day 1:
We met up nice and early at the Sydney domestic airport for our 6.45am Virgin flight. However, Emily and the girls arrived late which lead to the others all missing their flight since she had their plane tickets >.< Jacky and I boarded the plane first and decided to meet up with them in Adelaide later in the day. Thankfully they were able to catch the next flight 2 hours later, so it wasn’t too bad. The flight was a short one, no food on plane but at least there was a screen to watch some TV. There is a 30 minute timezone difference between Sydney and Adelaide, which didn’t really affect us.

Upon arriving, we had some breakfast at Hungry Jacks before catching a shuttle bus to our holiday house at Angas Court :) Looking out the window, the streets of Adelaide weren’t too exciting to be honest. It feels like a small old town with a tiny population (1.2 million, compared to 4.6 million in Sydney).

The holiday house at Angas Court was nice and cosy. A little small compared to the place we stayed at Nelson’s Bay, but I liked it anyway :) The arrangements were quite pretty and had a very homely feel. There were beds for 6 in total, with Burpy and MZ sleeping on the couch downstairs.

After the others arrived, we spent the day checking out the city and visiting neighbouring places.
