Leaving Australia a heavy heart; I’m now on the Malaysian soil once again.

October 7, 2011 by thejessicat

I know I haven't been updating for quite a number of days now. Haven't been really in the best of mood.

So the 8 hour flight back home wasn't pleasant – at all.

Spent my time sleeping, crying, listening to some Dub & wishing the time wouldn't fleet by so slowly.

It's Day #2 in Kuala Lumpur now; 4000 miles away and 3 hours behind Australian time.

Yes, I'm back in my homeland Malaysia and trying not to feel miserable.

Thing is, I love Malaysia. There's nothing wrong with coming back to KL at all. In fact, ever since I've returned, my schedule has been fully booked for the next few days till mid November. Truckloads of appointments, things to do and events to attend.

Back to my busy life once more, I reckon.

Shot during the few hours I had left with my buddies before I left Australia

I made a few love hearts for some of my buddies with a personalized message for them.

Most of them of which I doubt I'll ever see again in the future 🙁 🙁 They are amazing, if I have not put it out there.

Just miserable because I really miss the other life I lived back there in Australia, so much so till I call it home.

Just some of the buncha Aussiemates I'll miss dearly

The rest weren't around at the time of this picture!

Leaving Australia feels like I'm leaving a massive fraction of my life behind, although I had only spent a total of 6-7 months there as compared to the lifetime I spent in Malaysia. It made a huge impact on me, you bet.

It really, really did.

And leaving it all behind hurts.

It really, really does.

It gave me new experiences that I could only dream of having, brought so much laughter and sillyfun in my life, found me a new meaning of friendship, taught me heaps of things I had no clue about, opened my eyes to new perspectives and most importantly, spawned a love so pure and beautiful that made me believe in fairytales once more.

Why did you think I went back to Australia for the 2nd time?

It was worth it.

Happy Birthday boyfie! Playboy Party rocks the streets of Melbourne

October 2, 2011 by thejessicat

Early this year, when le boyfie told me his thoughts of a Playboy Party for his birthday, I thought he was joking.

But it turned out that we *actually* got round to doing it!

So guess what arrived in the mail a few months later?

A black double-breasted jacket and bright red cravat

A pair of Playboy bunny ears, collar and cuffs

So that was it… let's geddit on! 😀 😀

It was good to know that most of our guests turned up as such awesome sports as well.

The boys came all suited & vested up and the girls came in bunny outfits!

The birthday boy and I

Pimping, Alex?

LOL Allow me to quote him –

"There will never be a good photo when Alex is around"

The birthday boy's mother & sister came too – check out more bunny girls!!

Woohoo

T'was awesome that le boyfie's mom came all the way to Melbourne to join us for the celebration!

She decorated the tables and bought a Chocolate Mud cake too. Yummy

Nice!

Dinner at Minh Xuong Chinese restaurant along Russell Street was amazing.

There was so much food on the table, everyone ordered something different and we shared amongst ourselves. We had Wanton Noodles, Barbequed Pork Ribs, Black Pepper Beef Slices served with Rice, Claypot Glass Noodles, Chinese style Fried Rice, Soft Shell Crabs and more!

They were all very reasonably priced & delicious. Best part is, the restaurant was BYO all alcohol!

Gettin' a lil red after all those glasses

I loved the food and the ambience. Would certainly go back again (if we weren't kicked out!)

Okay fine, we weren't kicked out… but here's what happened –

As the signage did say BYO all alcohol, we maximized that to our advantage.

Only thing was, if you had known our gang, you would also know the copious amounts of alcohol that follows. So we brought bottles after bottles of various types of whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gin, beer, cider and more.

Just as we were leaving after 3 hours of dinner + drinks, the restaurant reprimanded us in a typical FOB accent

"TOO MANEE DRINKS.

TOO NOISHY.

NO MORE NESH TIME!!"

But if it wasn't for all of us, the restaurant wouldn't have made AUD$300+ in one night.

So, suck it up & be thankful mister.

After dinner, the gang of suited up guys and bunny girls roamed the streets of the Melbourne CBD and eventually ended up hailing a taxi because it started to rain.

At Transport in Federation Square

We randomly decided to go karaoke but decided against it and went clubbing instead.

Wootwoot it was fun being all over town! From Russell Street to Federation Square to Docklands to Southbank!

Photos above credited to Grant! 🙂

The occasion was merry and crazy! Wrapping up the night was messy though.

Most of us were tipsy and the whole gang split up into a few small groups but managed to reunite and ending up disappearing and reappearing again. It was mad!

By the end of the night, lotsa people regurgitated and passed out after all the insanity.

Some of us! Couldn't find the rest of them at the time of this photo

Another good night in the city with my love and my mates.

Also, my days in Melbourne are numbered once again. In 3 days, I will be back on the Malaysian soil 🙁

Nothing wrong with Malaysia, I love Malaysia to bits but Australia had already left it's mark on me ever since I first left in July. My friends, my other half, my extended family, the culture and the lifestyle here has grown into me.

It's no wonder why my heart lies in Melbourne

Don't cry, Jess. Don't cry.

Happy Birthday once again Konzylove

I hope you liked my surprise, presents and had fun during the celebration! Love you always

Best weekend ever up in the snowy Victorian Alps! Staying at Hotel Pension Grimus @ Mount Buller

September 28, 2011 by thejessicat

Woohoo! All my life, I've always wanted to experience snow and to see snowflakes with my very own eyes.

This trip to Mount Buller has made my childhood dream a reality *bigwidegrin*

Remember the earlier blogpost about this roadtrip on Day #1? I was still up the snow-mountain then.

But now I'm back!

Say hello to the new Snowboarder in town!

Oh and I forgot to mention in the previous post – there were names for every corner up the mountain.

The one called 'Unnamed Corner' made Kayla and I laugh. 'Dump In Corner' made me giggle too

But this corner made me semi-freak out

We arrived after 5 hours. I was awed by the cosy Tyrolean vibe that this hotel boasted the moment I laid eyes on it.

Staying in a lovely place on the Victorian Alps for the weekend? I could get used to this 🙂

Here I stand, at the two-time champion award-winning Hotel Pension Grimus!!

I soon realized that we will be spending the weekend in one of Australia's leading Ski-Resort hotel

Buddy Kayla and I just before check-in

The moment we entered the hotel lobby, we were greeted by its warm, cosy atmosphere and a friendly receptionist at the front desk. Whilst the rest were busy talking to the receptionist and getting keys to our rooms, I took to snapping photos of the hotel interior straight away.

It made me feel right at home

A ski-hotel with a modern concept yet retaining the traditional cabin/lodge features

Coat hanger to place our thick, snow jackets and overcoats

We were ushered to our respective rooms 🙂

My eyes widened with delight as we entered the room. It was beautifully furnished, spacious and brightly-lit.

The refrigerator was well stocked with lotsa goodies too!

Pretty, ain't it?

Ssssooo cosy and screaming to be snuggled in under the covers!

After enthusing over the room, having a hot bubble bath in our jacuzzi and taking a well-deserved rest, we decided to dine at the hotel's fine-dining restaurant just downstairs, called Kaptan's Restaurant.

Camwhoring while waiting for my missur to be ready

And off we went to Kaptan's Restaurant! We'd best be off; I'm starving!

I love its wooden concept + heaps of photo frames on the walls!

Chilling nearby Herbie's Cocktail Bar while waiting to be seated.

There was a fireplace beside our table. Squeee! (But it wasn't fired up, unfotunately.. but STILL)

It was not until we sat down & gave the waiter our orders that we realized…..

it was a FINE DINING restaurant.

…… Blimey. We were severely under-dressed Aaaargghh.

Major fashion faux pas, if you ask me. Hey, in our defence, we were on holiday and dressed for comfort! (Okay fine. To be honest, we didn't research what kind of restaurant we were dining in first)

To make things even more awkward, the tables around us were filled with guests dressed to the nines talking about their high-flying careers, investments and their shares (as though trying to upstage each other!) while we were having our meals enjoying each other's company giggling about the fun day we had and inside jokes without a care in the world.

Anyway, here are our choice of meals from the dinner menu

Entrees

Potato & Leek Soup served in a shot glass

Tempura Soft Shell Crab with Watermelon, Persian Feta Salad & Sesame Dukkah

Mains

Whole Buxton Trout with Beetroot, Almond Cream, Zucchini Flower & Pepper Crisp

Organic Corn Fed Chicken Breast on Sweet Corn Puree, Leek Fondue & Austrian Cheese Tortellini

The food was exquisite, without a doubt. We enjoyed the shotglass soup and my chicken was really tasty. Kon couldn't stop gushing over his crab The fish was tender but we were in for a surprise when we found out how wicked its bones are –

I've had heaps of different fish before but never trout.

Its bones could put a porcupine to shame anytime!

After dinner, le boyfie got me into Sudoku (yes, I have never played before).

To be honest, I know all the rules and HOW to play it but, I just couldn't be bothered to play one for myself.

Oh and… don't you think this photo below has the potential to be a movie poster?

No?

Well, you'll see. Challenge accepted.

Told you.

The very next morning, we were awaken by 2 trays of hot breakfast in bed by Pension Grimus.

Talk about top notch service! :) Everything was so delicious too.

I especially loved my mushrooms, hash browns, buttered croissants and scrambled eggs!

OMG AND PEACHES!

Hotel Pension Grimus provided rental for ski & snowboarding equipment too

After breakfast and some snoozingcanoozling, t'was time to head out to the snow.

..Head out to the snow.

..THE SNOW.

..SNOW!!!!!!!!

OHMYGOODNESS. Finally. Real snow.

My first touch of snow (albeit through the snow gloves)

The staff at the ski hire made me a very happy girl.

Gave me a red snowboard to use for the day which matched the red gloves Greg lent me 😀

oohmy. le snow!

I'd bask all day in the snow if I could

Sillyfuntimes 😀

To me, snowballs aren't as easy to make as it seems.

Mine kept getting lopsided and misshapen! Such noob skills.

Well, this one wasn't too bad if I do say so myself! 😀 😀

My snowboard and I

Le boyfie and I just before our snowboarding sesh!

behold Master Greg's 3 students in snowboarding

Fell over like, 50 million times

We got separated at one point while snowboarding and when we finally found each other, we decided to snowboard down the mountain while holding hands. But we gave up as we kept falling over and overshotting each other not to be able to begin at the same spot together!

Bummer.

Downdowndown the run

Practice makes perfect. I'm now taking a break after all that snowboarding!

Cold, gloomy weather

Group shot after we all managed to find each other at the foot of the run!

Kon & I 🙂 Kayla & Greg

As I was so keen on actually playing/being silly in the snow, leboyfie decided to bring me to the snowplay area.

Hey! I missed that out during my childhood, what better time than now to make up for it?

Snowplay!

Do you remember how I was obsessing over the snow and the 3 main things I MUST DO?

1. Make a snow man

2. Make a snow angel

3. Throw a snowball at someone

NUMBER ONE – check!

NUMBER TWO – check!

NUMBER THREE – check!

No surprises on who my victim is 😛 Poor Kon got snowballed over and over again.

He had his fair share of snowballing me down too. Snowfight FTW

We took approximately half an hour to build our snowman

our "illuminati snowman" as a random guy claimed it to be LOLOL

I was very proud of our snowman. And he's not JUST an ordinary snowman, okay?

He's a celebrity; received lots of attention from everyone and all wanted to take photos with our snowman.

Our snowman sure got heaps of loving from me

He's a cool three-tiered snowman who wears sunglasses & likes snowboarding!

We went to bed early that night as we were exhausted from all the snowboarding & our day out!

I was determined not to spend some $AUD80 (which is RM240 in my currency!) *regurgitates blood* for a lift pass, so I hiked up the hill each time I finished snowboarding down the run. It was insane.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bBUD8fozUk

Short VLOG of snowplay! 😀

Fancy climbing up a snowhill being resisted by snow and carrying heavy gear. Gofightwin!

Buffet breakfast in Kaptan's Restaurant the next morning 🙂

Very happy how the hotel provided us free wifi. TOTAL PLUS POINT! Our last day was spent rather chillaxed.

We also decided not to snowboard again today (our bodies were aching!) but spent it leisurely and in the spa!

We had our own private spa & sauna

It was awesome! Best to unwind in the hot bubbly spa and sweat everything out in the 50°C sauna.

So relaxing till I almost fell asleep

After spa & sauna. Okay, time to head out in the cold again!

Had lunch and prepared to go home.

What can I say? One of the BEST WEEKENDS I've ever had in a while.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!

Had fun at Eye Candy Playboy Party @ Fanny’s in Newcastle, New South Wales last night!

September 24, 2011 by thejessicat

So it was my first time in Newcastle yesterday.

And no, it's not the Newcastle in the United Kingdom – it's the one in New South Wales, Australia!

All thanks to le boyfie, who insisted to take me to Newcastle and Fanny's!

Apparently he and his best friend, Brent, often go to Fanny's during their younger days.

There was an Eye Candy event ongoing last night too.

Lucky me!

Think : Muscular boys with rippling biceps and washboard abs in leotards and bowties.

Oh and for the boys: Topless girls poledancing and sexy Playboy Bunny waitresses.

By the bar

Playboy bunny event lovebed LOL

OMG BUBBLES!! 😀 The bubble machine just went on and on all night.

Seductive acts and dances were performed atop this bed too.

I wonder how much the patrons had to pay the pole dancers to have their own private dance? 😛

Me in front of the pretty pink bed!

LOL I saw this and thought it was a real person at first.

Until I looked closely at the photo

Le Boyfie and his best mate, Brent

my Konzy gettin' a lil wacky LOL

So we danced all night, shuffled, jumpstyled and downed lots of drinkies.

The crowd was pretty fun too! The Playboy Bunnies and Leotard Hunks were amongst us 😀 😀

Also, the music was rather good. Mainstream R&B were playing with a twist of House and Electro tracks.

Taking a well deserved break after all that mad dancing.

LOL I like this photo cos I look skinner than usual squeeeeee!!

With the Newcastle homeboys my Konzy and Brent 😀

Brent and I

So we left Fanny's just before 3AM and grabbed some grub at McDonalds.

Or should I say, Maccas? 😀

All in all, my first time in Fanny's proved to be a smashing night.

Hey, it's not as seedy as everyone says it is. It's actually really, really fun. With lotsa hotties too 😛

Great night out, boys! Thanks for bringing me there 😀

Dare you fall sick? EMERGENCY : Dirty Doctors vs Naughty Nurses are operatin’ tonight!

September 23, 2011 by thejessicat

To be honest, I've always been afraid of hospitals, doctors and nurses or any medical procedures.

Always had been since I was a kid.

Looks like I'm living within the shadows of my fear now

Rocking the operating table with a nurse outfit!

Wootwoot 🙂

LOL which nurse wears Converse?

I do. CBF to wear heels; want to dance and shuffle!

My date for the night; none other than le boyfie the evil doctor

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away….

I'd say bring on the apples!

Doctor, would you increase my dosage? Hellyeah

We're out for a brutal operation tonight

My mates and I got ready for the party & camwhored!

Fancy an extra injection of energy, Nurse Kayla? 😀

Yupyup, syringes aplenty! One more injection for Dr. Bardha coming right up!

Injected Military Nurse Deanna's neck till she bled 😛

Naughty, deadly nurses on the loose!

Are we ready to roll, my hot doctor? 😀 😀

As usual, we busted out the drinks and began our pre-party!

Let's get it on!

^_____^ Let it roll!

Broken arm Todd and I 😀

And yes if you're wondering, I always drink straight from the bottle. None of that soft-drink mixer bullshit for me.

To me, if I wanna savour real whiskey, bourbon, liqueur or vodka, I'd rather do it pure.

Bacardi shots with Dr. Greg & Dr. Johnny 😀

I'm getting overdosed by my mates! Love them heaps

Nurse Olivia X Nurse Jessicat

Drink up, guys! 😀

Guess who got the King's Cup???? Muahahah. You're gonna get smashed tonight, Mossy.

Ohyuck. The mixture from all our drinks made this vile, curdled looking drink

Nurse Laura X Nurse Jessicat

My stethoscope: I can feel your heartbeat now

Matching shoes with GP Clayton LOL

Nurse Britt X Nurse Jessicat

OMNOMNOMNOM

SMILE!

Coming back HOME to Australia was worth it 🙂

They are worth it.

And even more worthwhile, back in his arms.

LOL I love how our kitchen counter is scattered with ours & everyone else's booze. Wicked!

Naughty, deadly Nurses are out to get you!

Better dead now before we operate on you, I reckon.

Already massively wrecked, it's time to hit the party to get even more smashed & hit the dance floor!

Extra dosages of mad fun please? 🙂

By the bar

Nurse Jessicat X Nurse Paige

My sexy doctor Kon and I

Guess who spun for us that night? 😀 😀

It's Dr. Rowan! Yay! All the best for your DJ gig

Wootwoot! I psychedelic colours!

Take me to the Intensive Care Unit please?

Candid photo!

Love is definitely something you can overdose and die happy from

Nurse Jessicat X Dr. Bardha

Outside on the decks, more funtimes!

Btw, neither Kayla nor I remember the photo on the bottom left.

But both our boyfriends were like – "THAT'S HOT!" hahahahahaha!

Wonder when will we see them smooching each other? 😛 Not in a million years, methinks!

More drinks for the night!

Music was blasting and pumping so hard. Absolutely fab

Bumped into Nurse Alia in the Ladies'

These are certainly nurses you wouldn't wanna mess with! 😀

Dr. Johnnie X Nurse Jessicat.

ZOMG HE'S SO TALL. Over 6 feet in height – cool as!

Dr. Ian X Nurse Jessicat

I love how similar and cute our Nurse costumes are 😀

Josh and I 🙂 With every party, we never fail to take piccies together!

Hmm…. this looks like the beginning of a lesbian X-Rated movie

*shrugs* Whatever 🙂

Clearly, I'm as straight as ever. No doubt about that

We all got home smashed with memories of fun, wacky, wild times and a hangover the next morning.

But as for me, I came home with a semi-broken foot. Couldn't walk for a few days.

But don't worry, ima tough cookie. Am still kicking!

When I party, I escalate it to full scale – cos that's how it ought to be! But gawd knows how that happened.

Only photos remind us of our silly, drunk, party shenanigans the night before

Yet another amazing night with you. As always.
