The Local Mbassy @ Sydney

11/16/2016 10:09:00 pm

Heeeyyyyyy!! 

And I apologise for the much delay. 
After my last post which is up last month, I was basically busy with me being at home. 
Me fixing every Malaysian food craving in a week. 
And now here I am in KL, trying out an internship program.
My life is just always on-the-go! 
I need to rest up seriously! 

Anyway, back to what I have to promise and write for you guys. 
Here's what I ordered in The Local Mbassy on my birthday! 
I've always wanted to go there, because it's soooo Instagram worthy! Obviously. 
And my friends were willing to bring me there, so why not! 
Since, I'm not that hungry, I shared with my friend a Red Velvet Waffle.
The presentation looks so pretty!!!
The Local Mbassy is well known for its red velvet pancakes, lattes and waffles.
Basically it is to do with red velvet.
But I do have to say, it doesn't really taste any different from any normal waffle.
I don't drink any coffees (if any of you don't know), so from my friend's perspective, the latte is actually very sweet, and doesn't taste like coffee at all.
So, for overall taste, it's just so-so.
For presentation, it definitely is Instagram worthy!
I would love to go back and try their mains instead.
But do remember that Local Mbassy is much more on the pricy side.
So, for this short post. 
I'll try to update as much as possible before the year end. 
I still have my WhitSundays trip waiting for me to share it for you all! 
Hang on for that! 

Until then. 
Thank you for just chillin' and waiting for any new posts. 
It is much appreciated. 



Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥

Being 21 in Sydney!

9/04/2016 07:31:00 pm

Hey Guys!! 

Before I update on posts that I should have posted ages ago, I have to do this as tradition, about my birthday celebration.
This will not be my average boring annual birthday post. 
Instead I'll discuss more on what I think and what went through when celebrating my birthday in another country. 

Turning 21, is a huge thing for every teenager, as it is the same for me. 
But once uni was planned and I had to leave my friends and family in Malaysia. 
Turning 21 wasn't the first thing that I was worrying about. 
But as all my friends having big, huge birthday bash that I wish that I could attend and celebrate for them, but I wasn't there. 
Wearing all those fancy dresses that you will only wear once, had make up and hair done professionally with photographer. A huge deal!!  
But I never get to do it and I will never get to experience it ever, cause I'm not back home. 
I envy you all, to be honest.

When my birthday approached, I had thoughts about what I should do.  
Me having the experience not being able to celebrate with my family and best friends.
Me having the experience of what I should do on my birthday.
Me having the experience of who should I celebrate my birthday with. 
Me having the experience of whether my friends really want to make the effort to celebrate with me turning 21?!
Or me having the experience of thought of me celebrating my birthday alone in this foreign land. 
Me having the experience of actually feeling grateful. 
Me having the best experience that no one else had.
All the small little matters that everyone will take granted for. 

But I know that this is God's plan for giving me the chance to celebrate me turning 21 in another country. 
This is God's plan for me to meet my new friends from Credo. 
This is also God's plan for me having some really good friends from having the same faith as I do. 
I feel blessed whenever I'm with them. 
I feel happy that I know them. 
I feel lucky that I have them that I can call them friends who I can trust. 
In whatever they do, I get inspired and learn new things from each one of them.

Never once in my mind that my friends that I just met in between the period of 6 months would do anything for me on my birthday. 
(Well is too short of a time to build a good and stable relationship, in my case)
Never once that had cross my mind that these people, these crazy but caring and loving human beings would even take the effort and time to make me happy. 
But, these crazy loving and caring people who I met from 5 weeks ago, 3 months ago and 6 months ago surprised me (almost into tears). 

It was suppose to be a small group lunch on my birthday, as my friends wanted to celebrate with me. 
Since I had nothing planned, I might as well just agree and go for lunch with them. 
It was suppose to be just us 3 people for lunch. 
And I was already late for time that we agreed to meet at, and I hate being late.
But in the end, Anto told me that the place is packed and needed to wait. 
The waitress will give them a call when there's a place, so I don't have to stay there and be bored. 
Since things came out like that, I might as well agree. 
Then Jane, Anto and I was sitting in building 11 in uni and wait for the person to text/call him that the next table is ours. 

Finally is our turn, I wanted to go to this place for such a long time. (After my friend posted in Insta) 
~The Local Mbassy~ 
It's a small, tiny corner cafe. 
And so when we got in, mentally prepared to sit in a small table for 3 in the corner of the cafe. 
Instead I was facing with 4 other familiar faces, sitting at that huge table at the corner of the cafe. 
My face was priceless (I know, good thing there's no camera there). 
I almost teared up while hugging my good Brazilian friend, Bia while saying 'hi' to others. 
Still in shocked I sat down at the table. 
Feeling bad that they had to wait so long just to have food. (well don't like to burden people) 
Couldn't even decide what to order, cause I was still in shock. 
In my mind was, I couldn't believe these people would want to give up their time just for me. 
But also, I did tell myself to prepare for something. 
As I know that Anto will have something up. =D 

Thank you all so much for the surprise, even though I never get to be in a fancy dress, in a well decorated party to celebrate me turning 21, but this kind of celebration is the one that is perfect for me! 

The Local Mbassy, I will talk about it in the next blog post. (Or else, this post would be too long). 

We went karaoke in Strathfield, as we had nothing to do anyways. 
After 2 hours of fun. 
This is the one we had been waiting for months! 
Anto, Tim, me and Clara bought tickets to Pentatonix Concert at Enmore Theatre in Newtown! 

Fun fact: When I bought the ticket, the person that I know was only Anto hahaha 
And now is totally different! 
Being able to go to my first ever concert with these crazy people.
It was a great experience!
As for Pentatonix, they are adorable and cool at the same time.
They are really talented performers and I really do look up to them.
We were at the dance floor, and Whao I thought I would be deaf by the girl beside me shouting at the top of her lungs.
But being at the dance floor was another fun experience that I thought I would never get to try out.
Like I said, I was lucky and blessed.
Pentatonix was amazing!

I'm somewhere in that crowd at the bottom floor/ dance floor =)   
And I also am grateful that I have my relatives here who are willing to take care of me too.
Went to Bitton for dinner the day before my birthday, and dinner was amazing!
My cousins are the best!
Right now is the end of what happened on my birthday.
No more, free Boost drinks, or free presents from Sephora and Khiels
But I did receive some great company, food and fun on my birthday.

#OOTD
Top: F Block
Jean Jacket: Pull and Bear
Skirt: Cotton On
Shoes: Toms
Bag: Pierre Cardin

If you ask me to describe the day in one word, I would say 'bless'.
I do feel that way, and this day will forever be kept in my mind reminding me how great God is.
He, who guide me all the way here and the future.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I just have to get it out there.
I would be very glad if you are the one who read through the whole thing. =)

Birthday

Reunion & Surprise! ♥

9/18/2015 12:06:00 am

Hi Hi!!! =D
Let's go back to 28th August 2015 for a moment, shall we?


I have to update this, cause 
1. The food here is so good! 
2. Is my primary school friends reunion, again! 
3. I got a small pre-birthday surprise! =D


Now, I got all the main points out there, let's start!
It was a sudden reunion. And since everyone can make it on that particular time. 
We went for it! =D
I suggested 43 Cafe, and my mom was pushing me to be the lab mouse and try out the place first. 
So, in the end we went there! 

I was late a bit, so the others ordered first. 
They ordered most of their most recommended. 
Pasta, dry age pork, burger, satay, salad and ice cream. 
Yea. We ordered just enough for 5 people. =)   
The pasta is very rich and creamy, how most of us like it! 
Satay was good too!
Minimum order have to be 5, so we each get to eat one! =D
I love their dry age pork the most!
It's so juicy and tender, and gosh!
It's so so good!!!
Group pic before each of us separated. ♥♥
Then the girls wanted to head out for desserts.
They were exchanging body language to one and other.
Too bad I saw it, I was thinking that, what did they want to do that I don't know, especially they want to take separate cars to go to the destination.
To act like I don't know anything, I just go with the flow and just act with whatever weird reason they came out with hahaa =D

Head over to CoffeeSmith.
Ordered Hot Chocolate =D
Then Sab came in with a plate with 2 pieces of cake.
Hahaha I knew it!
I was seriously laughing!
Gosh I was so grateful and thankful to these girls, seriously! =)
Even though my birthday still have a few days left, I'm just so grateful and happy to have these girls as my friends =)
Took some pics and also some poloroid pictures too!♥♥
These girls that I have known them since my primary school years.
For almost 10 years of friendship =)
Thank you all for the small surprise, even though it's a sudden celebration.
But I really do cherish it, and absolutely feeling grateful for it!




Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥

Birthday

Happy 20th Birthday, Sarah!

9/03/2015 11:06:00 pm

Hi Hi guys!! ♥♥♥♥
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!
I'm 20 today! Like literally 20!!!!


For the new readers, or people who just decided to pop into my blog.
There will be a post for my b'day and basically just write on what happened on the day itself.
These kind of memories are the most precious ones!

I have friends asking me, how does it feel?
Well, it feels..... well weird......
I'm so used to my teen years of being in 10s.
Now 'suddenly' introducing myself as officially 20 is just something I need to get used to.
I do feel much more older, much more 'adult', much more wiser/mature (a bit).
Just, I'm not a kid any more!

The sucky thing about INTI is that my classes on my bday is always until in the late afternoon.
Last year was like that, so is this year.

So, as per usual.
A morning birthday hug with a shout wishing me 'Happy Birthday' from Dad.

Then, 10am class, manage to reach class late a bit and my lecturer much more later than me.
Friends were wishing me right after I enter the classroom.
Hugs were shared and laughters were filled the whole room.
Some classmates were kinda confused. But heh! Don't care about them!

Kristle was trying to distract me to go upstairs with her to buy me cookie from the cafe.
I denied it, of course, but she insist!
In the end, I just gave up and let her be.
We head downstairs to the cyber circle, and waited for Kristie.
Shareeta came down to give me a present. (You shouldn't have!)
Then we all went up to the top floor to buy me cookie (as my so called bday present).

I was distracted for sure.
Cause I didn't even see the cake right in front of me when I arrive the top floor!
*Gosh I feel so........(face palm)*
My face was shocked then a smirk came out hahhaa, showing all my friends Hah I knew this was coming! 
They surprised me with cake with everyone being there!

Here's a collection of pictures that I collected from all different people.
And I even tried my 'hardest' to screenshot the pictures from snapchats! Hahaha
So some pictures might be blur! *shrug*
 Thank you all for going through all the trouble for this little celebration. =)
After all the singing, blowing out the candle and cutting the cake.
I got chocolate on my face!
Thanks Kristle -.-
I still manage to get my small little revenge back, so smile everyone! =D
Thank you all!! ♥♥♥
Then, we head out for lunch.
Finally get to receive my free drink from Boost Juice.
And also head over to Khiel's to receive my free birthday gift! =D
Isn't life fun, when everything is free! =)
Haven't go and collect my Sephora birthday gift yet. Hmmm =)
After all the fun, I have to head back to school and attend my afternoon classes.

Then, when my classes were done for the day.
Head back home and relax.
Replying to everyone who wished me.
And manage to chat with so many friends that I haven't met in so long.
Thank you all for the lovely messages! ♥♥
And I appreciate every single one of them =)

Dinner with the familia is always fun and great!
After all that cakes and fats. (from the last few days that compile all together)
I still have to buy myself a cake, cause it's tradition to have a cake and celebrate our birthday at home.
I just feel weird not having a cake in the house to end my birthday.
And since it was a last minute, I bought this small super cute mini cake from Love a Loaf!
Gosh it's adorably cute!! ♥♥
And of course with another round of sing song of Happy Birthday!
Blew off the mini candle!
My birthday is now complete! ♥♥
And of course I'm now 20 =)
Thank you everyone for the wishes, surprises and the gifts!!
I'll appreciate every single time of today! =)
♥♥♥




Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥
