To be extremely honest, I've never seen/taste/smell/ate Vegemite in my entire life.

Until I came to Australia.

Bardha, Cleefy and I in the kitchen on the night of the challenge

This is how it all began.

One fine day, Konzy and Cleefy decided to ask me a million dollar question.

"Have you tried Vegemite before?"

My answer was an obvious "no".

However, I've heard some pretty horrid stuff about it; that it tasted vile, disgusting and nasty on your tastebuds. Then again, Cleefy insisted I had some, regardless of what I've heard.

Allow me to quote him "you haven't experienced Australia if you leave without Vegemite".

Looks like a creepy Vegemite ad, no?

He proposed I eat it in front of the camera so that I could always remember the "Australian goodness of Vegemite". Fair enough. So I decided to take up the challenge of the infamous yucky Vegemite.

Let the camera roll!

One night before we headed out clubbing, Cleefy brought me a jar of Vegemite

& had it wrapped in a cute blue ribbon too! 

I was extremely hesitant after unwrapping it but my mates were pretty persistent.

Fine fine fine. I'll do it! 

Here's the short video I made. Enjoy it!

Hahaha. Hope you liked it! So there, my 1st moments with Vegemite, added with laughter, nasty facial contortions and friendship encapsulated in a 6 minute video  

Now, everytime I think of Australia or crave for Vegemite, this video will do the trick!

Ahoy mateys! Arrrr. Vegemite has arrived.

How am I ever gonna forget that? 

The next time ANY of you come to Malaysia, I'll do the exact same thing for yall -- not with Vegemite, but with Durians instead. *evil laughter*

Thank you Cleefy bear!

Now that I've finished blogging this entire post and editing the VLOG, I'm totally up for some. Only thing that's stopping me is…. I can't seem to find my Vegemite.

Who has stolen my jar from me!?  Identify yourself!!

Okay time for you to see yet another one of my places of residence again!

There's this nitty-gritty OCD part of me that loves a well-decorated, personalized, neat and organized room.

Most of the time, I'm very proud to let you guys take a look! Well, the efforts that I take to make my room pretty & cosy; one that truly represents me does pay off especially when I have guests over *bigwidesmile*

Remember when I showed you my house and room in this post and another one in this post?

Are u ready? Knock before you enter my room!

Oh and remember I painted that canvas on the top?

Most of you know that I live on-campus or more fondly referred to as 'on rez' (residencies) at the moment.

I was allocated to be on the West rez 32 when I first came to Australia, but since I spent 90% of my time and day in the South rez, I've decided to just permanently move into South rez 9.

Nicey?

Most of the time, my room/house will be splashed &decorated by reds every where.

I often adopt a red theme wherever I stay, but since I didn't have much choice (all my red stuff are in Malaysia!) my room – for the first time – picked up a blue theme instead :( Blue curtains, blue comforter, blue bedsheets, blue pillowcase.. etc.

My simplistic wardrobe. I hung up my accessories on the wardrobe

door (so they don't become tangled noodles when I wanna wear 'em!)

Seriously, I've spent almost an hour trying to detangle my necklaces/chokers before, causing myself to be uber late at certain events I go to! Grrr. Next time my accessories only stay hung up – no where else!

Another angle of my room. Can you see my shoe shelf?

Take a closer look I dreaded how I had to choose between all my shoes to pack into my luggage.

Mom wouldn't let me bring more than FOUR, I was crestfallen! How am I supposed to choose 4 out of my 30 pairs?

I eventually sneaked in more than 4 and ended up succumbing to more pretty shoes here

I bought 5 more. Ooops. Sorry mom.

Probably not important, but here's the insides of my cupboard.

Facial stuff, make up and clothes.

On to my study table! Where I'm sitting as we speak, supposedly mugging for the exams but can't help to take a short break to blog for a while. Nyahahaha

What do you see?

My camera gear, a pair of red sunnies, a red shark, an infographic on cannabis, my textbooks, the Greek alphabet, cute postcards, a bottle of memories, a frisbee, leopard-print handcuffs, random train tickets, bus ticket-stubs, tissue, a food pyramid, Churchill's bus timetable and little love notes! Do you spot everything?

Okay, one more picture for the road!

Here's a diagonally aerial view of my room

Nice nice nice? *beams* I love decorating!

Okay I should really head back to my exam revisions now.

Cheers! And if your room isn't half as neat as mine, you know what to do

Now that our assignments & major assessment tasks are over and done with, the exam period comes looming near.

But before that, what better way than to unwind and let down our hair at a houseparty in full swing?

Another good idea would be, dousing ourselves with flaming absinthe shots *wink*

1..2..3.. bottoms up!

My homies back in Malaysia have requested me to buy Absinthe home for them. Would love to, but Absinthe is banned and illegal in Malaysia -- so I've heard? Hmmm.. I'd rather not get arrested at KL International Airports the mo I touch down LOL

Also, it's no wonder I've never seen Absinthe at any bottle shop before back at home.

Drink up and study well

Just yesterday, the whole lot of us headed to Alex's crib for our houseparty.

It was an insane night indeed.

Kayla, Alex and I

I have no idea what Britt is doing

Looks to me like brushing her teeth with an imaginary toothbrush

With Bardha holding up Kyle's pizza

Laura and I -- the ONLY ones with Asian blood in us

Kayla and I -- was I eating a whole bar of chocolate?

Dagnammit!

With Konzy corncob

Laura, me & Britt

With Todd!

Houseparty video below, check it out -

Just a lil snippet of the fun we had

Besides drinking, blasting music and all that jazz, we did some bongs of Kronic too.

I'd recommend anyone who's into bongs/joints take a look at this alternative.

It's legal, and that's what's most important. I know the illegal ones are fun, but ya don't wanna get into the wrong hands of the law now, would you?

This big bad wolf will huff and puff and blow down your house!

Besides, this packs a bigger punch than the real deal.

I'm SO not joking

You're looking at two stoners now.

Or rather, you can see the wall behind us. LOL

Jump up let's get crazy!

Cuddlemunchster!

And then we noticed something not quite right with Alex.

Poor guy was high and drunk -- kept laughing non-stop on the kitchen floor

And refused to get up!

It was so funny we kept taking photos and videos

Better yet, pull practical jokes on helpless little Alex!

I decided to have some fun with the Mandarins in top of his head

But Laura had a better idea with the Mandarins and vodka….

Gross!! Looks like someone wet himself?

Check out the video below for a very, very good laugh -

Well, that's what you get when you're in a state of intoxication with your crazy friends!

Bwahahahhaha

So there you go, ladies and gentlemen,

ALEX MCINNES SHOT PLANKING ON THE KITCHEN BENCH!

Superman to the rescue!

He looked pretty comfy, so we left him there for a little longer

Until I gestured for Konzy and Hooper to carry him to his bed

It was funny when I assisted a cold, wet Alex undress off his wet clothes and into his pyjamas.

Don't ask me what I saw! Holy bejeebuz.

Just less than 2 minutes after putting him to bed, he came outside again

and started eating a whole block of cheese LOL

After all the laughter was over, i think it was my turn.

Before I knew it, I passed out on the couch. zzzzZZZZZ

Woke up with my pyjama pants on.

Don't remember changing into that but yay three cheers for crazy night and welcome, exam fever!
