Yesterday afternoon, all I could smell were fish, lobsters, crabs, prawns, squids, fish and more fish. ^^ lol!! To start off my three and a half month worth of holidays (EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!! aka FIRST YEAR OF UNI IS OVER!!! =D), I took my grandparents to the famous Fish Market !! I've never been there before and my mum had heard that there was a new yum cha restaurant there so, being a filial daughter and grand-daughter, off we went with my grandpapa and grandmama to see the fishes! Or should I say to eat the fishes? =p Mmmm....I love seafood. Yes I do!! Do you??

And ah yes, when I got there, I was wondering what on earth was I wearing because the mention of "fish markets" should have told me not to dress like what I did?? lol. And definitely not in heels either. HAHAHAHA!! But I wanted to celebrate the holidays so much and lol! oh dear. But it was good for yum cha!! hahahaha!! xD And oh I do miss layering. When the word Summer is metioned, most people think of the beach, the sunshine and summer dresses but at this moment, all I can think about are flies, sweat, no layering and sunscreen and oh - the need to exercise. hahahah!! xD Optimistic me. I do envy those who are experiencing Winter and those who will be making snow angels soon!! =p But I'm getting off topic so let's head off...

And head off to misleading, wrong directions we did. I think one of my christmas wishes this year will be to have a GPS. Unfortunately I've always been hopeless at geography and thus, my hopelessness in reading maps. Headache, headache, headache. I get such a terrible headache whenever I try to read in the car. ><" Do you guys get headaches whilst reading in the car?? Urgh...The headache had been no help and thus, the crossing of the Anzac Bridge three times and a stop at a petrol station to ask for directions before we finally made it to the Fish Markets!! =p


And first stop was yum cha to cease our rumbling stomachs. Speaking about rumbling tummies, make sure you are full right before an exam. Omgosh, my friends and I had been snacking nonstop right before our last exam and yet, during the exam all I could concentrate on was food because my tummy was rumbling so loudly! It was awful. I figured out that noone could hear it but Faaiza who had sat a seat away told me that she got distracted by my rumbling tummy!! =.=" *rumble rumble* At this moment, my tummy is rumbling too. I'm craving for pumpkin soup. MMMMM... Perhaps I'll start to learn how to cook during this three month holiday. ^^But alas, I didn't eat to my heart's content that day because the restaurant was serving so little food and not only that, it didn't taste as quite delicious as I thought it would be. ><" *cries* You know how much I love food!! But there was the "tofu-fa" (aka tofu sweet soup) which is a chinese desert that is really really good for your skin!! It's smooth tofu in a sugary syrup and mmmm!! YUM YUM YUM!! How often is it that you can eat something that's delicious and yet it's good for your skin?? MMM!! If you haven't tried it before , you must you must!! It's lovely.



And lol, finally the fish markets which was downstairs. And boy, was there a crowd of people all wanting fish!! The fish markets were not what I imagined to be. Mum had told me that it was an open space of a fishes and all other types of seafood, next to the sea - I guess a typical fish market. But alas, when we got there, we discovered that everything had changed. It was like a plaza with a huge fish store inside. Boo...><" Perhaps it is best to go early in the morning with the rush and frenzy of trying to get extra-fresh fish but it was just like going into a shopping centre and asking for fish from a fish store. lol!! Yes, I was very disappointed. In the end, I just stood and waited outside whilst caring for my three-year cousin who is sooo talkative and wonderfully cute!! *squeals* lol. And I'm afraid I didn't take much photos because I figured out dead seafood is that all appealing...and it was just plain weird to squish between the customers so that I could take a photo. lol!!



And oh, today we ate this huge fish steamed with ginger that we had bought yesterday from the market and ahh!! oh the love of fresh fish!! And fish are full of omega-3 too!! ^^ I love fish so so much and I've just reread what I written and I feel horrible to the vegetarians. Please forgive me because I am a huge meat lover. . . especially when it comes to seafood. Please don't hate me. =] Regardless, the fish from the Fish Markets are soooo expensive and the parking is totally not worth it. It's $2.00 for the first half an hour and then after that, its $5.00 for every half an hour. OMGOSH!! We didn't realise this, we thought it was $2.00 for every hour and urgh...$10.00 parking fee is so not worth it. ><" lol!! *whinge whinge whinge* ^.~

Ah wells, nothing can be done now and tonight's dinner made up for it for my tummy is full and contented. Gosh I really have to find something to this holiday otherwise I'm just going to end up lazing in front of the comp/tv and eat and eat and nobody would like that, especially not in summer. Ahhh....=.=" The thought of exercise is sending shivers and dread into my body. lol. Lazy Sabrina here. ^^ And ahh...I'm aleady filling restless.

And so with that -

Whilst I have my holiday and can laze relax away, what are you guys upto? Are you on holidays now or about to? If so, enjoy each and every day, even if you're not on holidays! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! ^^

...

and oh, speaking about holidays - I have a problem that I hope you guys may be able to give me advice on. I recently got a job at a store (A) that is about to open this christmas and I'm meant to have training for it. I remember that the co-ordinator told me to ring up the partner store (B) of the company to make an appointment for training but unfortunately i've forgotten the name of the person that I'm meant to ask for. ><" eek. Nevertheless, I called up and talked to the manager of the store (B) who told me that they don't training there for this new store (A) and that I'm meant to wait for the store's (A) call. So i've waited three weeks already and I have this feeling that I am right in making appointment for training at that store (B). I'm sorry if this sounds confusing but I do hope that you guys could give me some advice. What do you think I should do?

Hugs and kisses, Cotton Candy.
