Earring Fetish
19
June

Some people like necklaces and other people like bracelets… but of all these shiny things, I love earrings!

And lucky for me BF knew this when he went to the United States with his boys and bought me some presents ^_-

I love love these Swarovski earrings! I love the fact that I can combine the crystals together or just wear it single or neither. I love the fact that they’re so sparkly and shinyyy (I love shiny things). I’m not too sure when to wear these earrings, I’m so worried to lose them or smudge them but I can’t wait for the right occasion!

I love these Fossil earrings and the Ralph Lauren earrings because they’re pieces which I can wear for any occasion. Well, minus the beaded hoop earrings… they just seem more fun and casual to me. The gold Ralph Lauren earrings always seem to draw my attention, but I think my favourite of this lot would be the Fossil feather earrings. There’s just something in the detail that I love.

There’s a few old earrings that I can’t wear now because it’s damaged or missing >_< so I’m glad that BF bought me these to add to my collection ^__^

FlyBuys’ lack of email
05
June

Why doesn’t FlyBuys.com.au have an email contact?! Who still writes and posts snail mail to businesses nowadays??

I recently registered online with FlyBuys.com.au so that the points can be redeemed faster (online). The first few times I tried it kept saying “Try again later” and today I attempt to redeem the points only to find that I’m short 25points!??

This is where I discover that FlyBuys only can be contacted via a ’13′ number which can’t be used on weekends or public holidays (which means I can’t call until Tuesday) or snail mail. How lame.

FlyBuys is committed to trading fairly and providing FlyBuys members with the confidence that we will always be open and honest in our dealings.

FlyBuys.com.au – Fair Trading

Fair Trading… righttt, they will always be open and honest but at the same time if their website doesn’t allow customers to redeem points then it isn’t their problem?

Not impressed FlyBuys, not impressed at all.

Thai Corner
24
May

Thai Corner
Cuisine: Thai
Address: 897 Canning Hwy, Applecross, 6153
Web: http://www.thaicorner.com.au/

The first time I ate at this restaurant was for work (Farewell!~ Work lunch @ Thai Corner). And at that time I left with the impression that it served up delicious food that was a bit on the pricey side.

When we went for a special night (Happy Mother’s Day!!) it was a different story. They were generally short staffed on the night and it was difficult to get the attention of the staff. The restaurant wasn’t completely at full capacity but there were a lot of take-aways being ordered.

The dishes were generally good, though I don’t really understand how they can mess up a pineapple fried rice (the rice was clumped together). The portions were very small and some of the dishes had a bit too much flavour in it

Over-flavoured, Overpriced Fish

Jungle Curry and Chicken Green Curry

Clumpy Pineapple Fried Rice

What can I say, Thai Corner was quite the let down. No matter how busy a restaurant may be, you should never screw up a fried rice. I would rather fly back to Thailand to pay 20 Baht for a perfectly cooked pineapple friend rice (with pineapple!).

Ninniku Jip
16
May

Ninniku Jip
Cuisine: Korean
Address: 867 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park, WA 6010
Web: http://www.ninniku.com.au/

The section of Albany Highway where you can find Ninniku Jip is dotted with some pretty good range of cuisines.   To stand out from the crowd, Ninniku Jip focuses on the family diners. They are a very family friendly restaurant with playground (although it was closed for renovations during Mothers’ Day weekend), change tables and kid’s menu.

Looking from the outside in, you would think that this was just another modern looking restaurant. But you can tell by the many patrons who bring in their kids, toddlers, babies (prams and all) that it is a popular family haunt. The food service was great, our waitress efficient with the order and the food was served promptly despite being quite busy that night.


I can’t remember everything that was ordered, but I mostly ate the Bundae Chigae Hot Pot (shared between 2 ppl).  Generally you can’t go wrong with ordering a bulgogi and kimchi… and I personally think the Bibimbap is also quite nice although I didn’t try the one at Ninniku Jip. I was also really glad to try some of the Dukbboki Hot Pot my cousins ordered, it really took me back to the freezing winter days in Beijing when I would buy a cup of Dukbboki to warm up!

The next time I go to Ninniku Jip, I would probably not order the Bundae Chigae hot pot again because I found it too sour and spicy for my taste… it would be perfect if you are a lover of kimchi though!

Happy Mother’s Day!!
08
May

Massive Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there!!

Taking mum out is always handy for celebrating Mother’s Day because really, she needs a break!

We tried out Ninniku Jip, a Modern Korean restaurant in East Victoria Park. It’s a very family friendly restaurant with playground, change tables and kid’s menu. For the second round of dinner, we went to the yummy Thai Corner on Canning Highway. But with my cheeky little nephew there, it was difficult for mum and 2 grandmothers to get any rest.

Well I guess that’s the pains a mother must go through….

Easter Holiday – Busselton
30
April

This year’s extra long “5 day weekend” for Easter/Anzac Day was taken advantage of by almost everyone, so bf and I joined the crowd and went down south to visit Margaret River along with half of Perth. The streets in Perth seemed so deserted and gradually became busier during our drive down to Busselton.

We stopped by Bunbury on the Easter Friday where it was mostly deserted except for tourists. Luckily I had already been to Bunbury because the visitor center was closed and we couldn’t get a map of sites to visit.

Busselton was our next stop.

Our accommodation was at Abbey Beach Resort, situated closer to Busselton than Dunsborough, it was one of the last places to be booked out for the weekend. The Studio apartment had it’s own little kitchenette with microwave and mini-fridge and all the essential things like kettle, ironing board and cutlery all provided for.

Abbey Beach Resort also had plenty of family friendly facilities available which we didn’t utilise,  even Geographe Bay in the backyard of the resort.

Of course, you can’t go to Busselton and not visit the Busselton Jetty!

And we even took the train to the Underwater Observatory.

We walked the length back to shore, checking out the fishing potential.

And chomped down on some yummy ice cream from Simmo’s to regain our energy =)

Day 2 we headed out to Dunsborough, it was buzzing full of people .

And of course we went to hit the wineries.

Day 3 we went into Margaret River.

And right into the darkness of Mammoth Cave…
