OK, I'll admit that I'm a bit slow. If I was back in Malaysia I probably would've watched this (AND Sherlock Holmes) ages ago T__T

The USB-ala-Hair-Tentacles concept was pretty amusing, although the movie probably could've done without the corny lines and alien sex :S

And WTF... Unobtanium?? Dude you've had 10 years to make/edit your movie, surely you could've spent a bit of time on the name.

Anyway it was an okay movie. I might've enjoyed it just a little bit more if not because of that weird creepy guy. Sigh.

And I've gotten stuck in a rather awkward moment. A week after moving in I finally realize that I don't know how to operate the kitchen stove! I was gonna try my luck but subsequently chickened out after I heard what I perceived as a rather ominous clicking sound :S
"What if the kitchen explodes?" or "What if I end up dying from a gas leakage?". Meh. And just when I proceed to my emergency rations cupboard and produced an unopened pack of buns to munch on, I notice some rather tiny, but nasty looking green spots on the buns :(( To think, I'd just bought them 2 days ago...plus, the expiry isn't until over a week later! So much for the emergency rations.

I passed!

Woots! (Well theoretically I passed over a month ago, but I just got my results like, today)

Officially one step closer to being a registered pharmacist!

Now all I have to do is arrange all the necessary paperwork to send in to the Board and cough up the $$$.

...Why are people under the impression that pharmacists are filthy rich?

Xmas Road Trip

The People: Me, LY
The Locations: Moruya -> Bermagui -> Tilba -> Merimbula -> Eden -> Cooma -> Bemboka -> Snowy Mtn region -> Canberra
The Good: The scenery. Definitely the scenery.
The Bad: The weather.
The Ugly: The seafood.

In no particular order....















Scarecrows in Tilba :3















Don'tcha just love how they're killing 2 birds with 1 stone here...gas pump + advertisement 2-n-1!















Bluepool...i think that's the name















View from the On The Pier restaurant in Batemans Bay where we had our fancy Xmas Eve dinner...unfortunately the seafood was a major letdown; guess that's one of the downfalls of tasting seafood in Tasmania first :S















View from my place :))















It doesn't show in the pic, but it's a very pastel blue that's quite different from the other shades of blue that we saw throughout our journey. Somehow the blue there (around the Snowy Mtn region) was a very serene, semi-milky blue















Outside Miss Heidi's Teahouse! That place is pure LOVE ^^ The perfect Xmas atmosphere with the cabin and fantastic interior, meals as well as service















The berry pancake LY had :P






























Mr Lizard - I'm pretty sure this was in Cooma















The something-goat's lookout lol - same place where Mr Lizard was seen















Now here's something that caught our eyes in Cooma - walls of paintings, each depicting a different aspect of....australia, I guess, from kangaroos to farmers etc. There were also the flags of different nations around, but unfortunately the Malaysian flag was nowhere to be found :P































Now this is what I call a country scenery




















...And a clocktower in the middle of absolutely nowhere. And a rather short one, at that.















Cowboy and cowgirl restrooms at the cheese factory in Bega! Yeehaw!






























The chocolate pizza we had at Merimbula. I was thinking of a pizza made of chocolate instead of a pizza base with Nutella slapped onto it, and when it was first dished out to us I went "Holy God" due to its unsightly appearance, but surprisingly enough it tasted pretty good.






























2 different hues















LY with her Emo Pose XD lol











































































































































































































































Our hotel room in Eden :)















Camel Rock! hehe cookies to those who can guess the reason behind the name :P













































...You're probably wondering, why the random pic of scones and jam? Two reasons, actually. This was my first set of scones and jam throughout the road trip (I think after that I went to every teahouse that we saw on the way just to try their scones and jam), and there was a funny story behind this one: it was completely out of place! Five minutes into eating it, I finally realized why - they were playing cowboy music in the background and everyone else had burgers and fries!

My poor pair of glasses spontaneously self-destructed on the way to Canberra - the hinge just snapped and I was stuck without a spare pair on our glorious road trip! Fear not, for we made a quick trip to Woolies, and 5 minutes later, we secured a roll of sticky tape and proceeded to give first aid to my glasses. Fixed. My very own version of glasses a la Harry Potter.
