Ice Cream Class!


Sammie and I went to an ice-cream making class yesterday. It was a Groupon deal, so we got a discounted price on the class. It was fun! Got lost on the way to the class though, since neither of us are very familiar with Kota Damansara. Thought we were late but due to true Malaysian timing, we arrived way before the class even started. :p


Pre-mixed stuff. 



Sammie hard at work! For our first ice-cream the chef came over and helped mix it for us since that we were worried about spilling so were moving very very slow. 


 Completed stuff packed and ready to be taken home to the freezer. It's kinda lumpy and unattractive at this stage. We were happily licking our mixing bowl clean with our fingers though! It was yummy.


The chef took up some cups from the morning class, and we got to taste the mango. Our mix was tastier than that one though in the end. :p So photo session with the fancy swirled ice cream! Mango and strawberry yoghurt flavour.


And here was my dessert for last night. Threw in a Belgian chocolate thin for fun. :3 It was alright, I like the strawberry yoghurt one more than the mango, which I think was a bit sweet. Should lessen the sugar the next time I make it.

You quack me up



One last post before the semester ends officially, tomorrow. :) Have some ducks! These feathery critters have been a great source of happiness for me this last semester at Taylor's Lakeside. I just get really excited when I see them swimming around in the lake. Cheers me up for sure! Hehe. 

So tomorrow is the last day of the semester. How crazy is that? It's been a long semester. Tomorrow, I'm three assignments less burdened and the holidays finally begin! I'm going to make the most of it, Insya'allah. Here's to a fantastic mid-semester holiday!

The title of this post makes me laugh. Eheh. I'm such a dork.

Adelaide Taster Trip Part Trois


Time for my third and final update about my Adelaide Taster Trip! Above is a picture of the front of the Magill campus. The pretty scene is kinda ruined by the cones there in front of the sign though, haha. Not sure why they're there. Anyway, this was a Monday morning and my parents and I followed Fyra on the morning bus to campus. She had a class at 8, so we just tagged along.


Here's while walking into the campus. It is very very pretty. Papa seemed really pleased with it, he kept saying that he'd like to study there too. There's a creek running through the campus too! I didn't see any fishes though. Also, the crows there are black and white, how strange. No pics of that though.


Anyway, I went to talk to the people at the counter and stuff about next year. They couldn't really help that much since I'm not done with my current sem and I don't have an address in Aussie yet. So oh well. Fyra took me around one of the buildings and we got to see the library, so that's nice. In the pic above, the eating area is behind us, and there's a cafeteria inside and everything. I look really short in this pic, I dunno why. Must be the angle. 

After looking around campus we walked down the street to check out Sammie's house and make a few calls to properties so we could go take a look at them. Sammie's house is super near the campus, it only took us five minutes of walking. After that we walked back to campus, met up with Fyra and took a bus back to the city.

We took a look at a couple of places in the city. UV Apartments looks like the inside of a horror movie. >_> Fyra and I went in and I could feel the horror soundtrack playing in the background of my head. Everything's really dark and the lounge area has grilles because the building was formerly a bank so that was where they kept the cash and whatnot. We tried to go to a few other places but there were tenants in all the rooms so they couldn't show us around. So far the place I like best is Urbanest. At the rate I keep talking about it, I'm pretty much confirmed living there next year, haha! Although I'm still looking around just to see what happens. :p


Yoghurt! We were walking down Rundle Mall and there's this Greek Yoghurt shop thing. Mama had some the day before so she wanted more. Mine was Cinnamon Apple Crumble while Mama had something called Strawberries and Cream or something. Mine was alright, the raisins in the yoghurt were the best part, I think. Along with the crumbly bits.


Here's Papa at Rundle Mall with statues of piggies in the background. Mama got quite a kick out of them, that's why she asked me to take this picture. There are three piggies in total, the third one is hiding behind the trash can. I think I like the one leaning on the trash can the best. It's got character.


Random picture of fluffy platypus plushies in a souvenir store at Rundle Mall. I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT but it costs 30 AUD wtf. ;__; So we parted ways.


The day was particularly windy, as you can see here. It wasn't actually that cold but it was like the wind was determined to change that, the way it was nipping at every part of me not wrapped up in fabric. Sammie and I are standing in front of the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. The Script performed here earlier this year. ;___; What are the chances of them going back to Adelaide next year so I can see them? Ahagjhgsjdghasj.


Random photo while waiting. We went to look at a house in the area and got a little lost so the house agent offered to pick us up and drive us there. Sammie took this pic three times because she was trying to get Papa to smile. She succeeded! Haha. :)


Very last pic the night before I flew back to the homeland. It's blurry though, such a shame. I had a really good time, and I fell in love with the city, it's such a lovely, quaint place. :) Kinda can't wait to get started on next year!
