Unlock Nokia Mobile in Australia

In Australia, the mobile carriers are pretty smart. Why I said so?

Basically, if you're on a contact with carrier A for 12/24 months and  you decided to move to other carrier after the contract (stick with the same mobile phone). Definitely, you're able to do so and they are able to port the same number to different carrier for you.

First and foremost, you will need to unlock your mobile phone before you can use it for other carrier. I did that once already and they charged me AUD30-AUD35 to unlock my Nokia 6510 while my husband was being charged of AUD4-AUD45 to unlock his Sony Ericsson. 

Right now, I found a way where you could unlock it for free (Undeniable, you will need to bear the consequence!)

This steps is meant to be for Nokia only!!
Step 1: Use the existing carrier SIM and just enter ' *#06# ' - We're looking for the IMEI
Step 2: Write it down and make sure you're getting the correct IMEI
Step 3: Follow the prompt in Unlock Your Device
Step 4: You will get the unlock code (that's really important- and make sure the details matches)
Step 5: Press #
Step 6: Press * three times to get p
Step 7: Press * four times to get w
Step 8: Press * twice to get +

It should look like: #pw+ (15 digit unlock code)+1#
E.g.: #pw+123456543456786+1#

It will then restart the mobile phone itself (meaning to say you have successfully unlock the phone)

Anyway, just be mindful that it will locked itself after 3 attempts and I understood that you're no longer able to use the phone!!!


P/S: I managed to unlock 2 Nokia mobile without any trouble!  >,<

天与地...

有谁知道结婚的定义是什么?
为了那所谓的责任? 还是为了房间的那张床?

结了婚了就可以很轻易的离婚,
离了婚也可以好无在意重新结婚.

What's the problem?



我 colleague 告诉我,她姐最近离了婚,并且现在还可以跟她的ex-husband去 high-tea 和 shopping!
可爱的是,她的ex-husband又要再婚了.
可能这是西方国家的 culture.. 
不开心, 就离婚吧! 没什么大惊小怪的!


如果发生在Asia,这还有可能吗?
不要说不可能! 我告诉你- 有些还可以好无在意的跟人们分享呢!

其实我早就应该看开一点,这就是我们所谓的人生. 对不?

我个人人为还有天长地久的一天
而不是所谓的曾经拥有而已.
是真的.....

 P/S:: 我真的不希望这发生在我身上,让我相信我的天长地久的一天...
(我喜欢Happy Ending- Haha)

Smartphone?

As my Nokia 6520 battery is almost "kong", it's better to get a new one- Precaution is always better than cure! 

After months of consideration, I decided to get a new one...

Nothing so special about the phone- I bought it online because it's cheap- they are clearing the stock and besides, I'm no longer wanting to be tied to plan anymore. Phew...

Frankly, I'm not phone lover- as long as the phone is workable with basic function, then I'm more than happy! Guess what, my both sis are really into phones- Sorry, I should say a lot more out there are into phones too. I guess because of the advancement of technology and furthermore with the stylish design, everyone is desperate... (Hehe)

On the other way round, I still wanna play around with "real" keypad! I'm not sure whether you're encountering the same issue as mine?  I don't really like the whole idea of touching screen as

- it's not detecting my finger at certain time.
- it's a pain whenever I'm sending text to someone with my big fingers

BLESS ME..
This is the phone...
QWERTY + Touch

Blah..Blah..Blah

A few more days to go and I'm on 3-days break!
(I knew it's not long enough- but I'm more than happy!)

To cut my story short
- Mum will be visiting Perth in May 2012
- We're kinda undecided when to fly back to Malaysia!
- I'm going to get myself a waffle maker on Boxing Day
- Will be dining in at friend's house on XMAS day
- I'm working on 1st Jan 2012 (RDO on the following 2 days)
- I bought myself a new phone, Android HTC
- We had grown a small lawn in our Alfresco

Whatsoever

Yesterday buffet was incredibly tempting and delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't bring along my camera. (One thing which was not accepted- You'll get very thirsty after the meal ). Aside hubby and I, we're with another couples- Mark and Natasha (Mark is husband's colleague). This was our first time dining in with Aussie.;) At least, we still have a non-stop conversation during our dinner.. (Not too bad!) Guess what? I have Australian essence, as what they exclaiming! (Shocking? Unbelievable?Me too!)


Basically, I have something nice to share in my today's blog. I have started to plant some vegetables in my small garden. I have carrot, cauliflower, lettuce, ginger, garlic, spring onion and lemongrass in my small garden bed. Hope to show some result! ;)

I'm back!

Recently, too much of cautious in mind.."boh sim" (no mood) to blog!
Now, everything had been sorted out! (Finger crossed!)
(Let bygone be bygone)

I'm no longer attached to Telstra due to lack of call demand and besides, as I mentioned earlier in  my blog, I'm seeking for a permanent role in Australia if I want to survive for long! Finally, I received a response. I'm going to start life anew on 7 Nov 2011 with at least a very concrete benefit whereby I'm gonna get 5 weeks annual leave. That's what I'm longing for... because I don't have any single leave when I'm @ Telstra (casual staffs)



Summer is soon approaching, we're now preparing for it...We had our roller shutter installed in our bedroom and just bought a cooling unit to be installed soon. I'm going for a buffet tonight @ Burswood for my belated birthday celebration. Hope to post some photos here.

Cheers..

???

When I was taking train today, I overheard a conversation between a lady and a young chap. Guess what? This young chap is turning 16 in 2 months time and no longer attending school (I'm still able to accept that fact) . The worst part was he is going to be a DAD in 5 months time. 


I shouldn't be surprise at about this anymore because I heard a lot. Still I can't figure out how is he going to survive? I knew there will be allowances provided by the government (about 400-500/fortnightly)


What do you think?





P/S: I personally think that 16 is the time to enjoy himself/herself in school with bunch of friends.

Orange and Poppy Seed Cake

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I  threw a cake straight to the bin.
Because of my positive mind, I wish to bake this cake again!
Anyhow, this recipe was shared by a friend- Susan Koh (a credit for her)
and I would like to share the recipe with my friend here.
I guess she wouldn't mind me doing that ;)



Here you go...
Ingredients:
  1. 2/3 cup poppy seeds
  2. 1 1/4 cups milk
  3. 3 3/4 cups plain flour
  4. 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  6. 300 g softened unsalted butter
  7. zest of 2 oranges
  8. 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  9. 5 eggs
  10. 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
  1. Soak the poppy seeds in the milk for at least half and hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 170°C.
  3. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
  4. In another bowl, cream the butter for 1-2 minutes. Add the orange zest and beat for 1 minute. Add the sugar a third at a time, beating for 2 minutes after each addition. After the last addition, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy and the sugar has almost dissolved.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  6. Add a third of the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Add half of the milk and poppy seed mixture and beat until combined. Repeat this process. Add the remaining third of the flour mixture and beat until thoroughly combined, do not over-beat as this will toughen the mixture.

Hope you guys love it! Cheers.

Something new to you & me!

We have a big window in our bedroom and we had been considering of installing a roller shutter. By installing the roller shutter, it will help:
i) increasing the home's security
ii) reduce heat transfer in and out 
iii) block out noise and light

Since yesterday I was not working, I thought of getting someone to quote me on that. I just submitted the web-form "request for quote" from their website and someone will buzzing me later on. In the late afternoon, I finally received a call from one of them, asking me whether I'm available in the evening. 

At about 4.30pm, the guy arrived and I thought he will be measuring the window and straightaway provided me the quote. Who knows? He wanted to present his company's' roller shutter before quoting. Luckily, my husband was around to 'entertain' him. Guess what? He is advertiser manager- main purpose is to hang his company banner at our backyard (because our backyard is facing main road) and of course,to have this business work (only he was allowed to hang that). At first, the price were so unreasonable (my face impression showed all and he realized it), wanting me to wait for another quotation!

Both of us could see that he's really making hard to wanting to have this business working - attempted to call his manager but his manager couldn't work out the price we offered. They then offered a new price and we decided to lock his price (on the spot, we called our friend seeking for second opinion) 

Perhaps some of you might not know what's a roller shutter? The picture below tells all....

Green Tea Ice Cream

In Malaysia, I never thought of making own ice cream because they are really cheap. The cheapest one I could get it was RM1/pac from the groceries shop (that was really a long time ago). [My grandma, sis and I used to walk to the groceries shop, mainly was to get some ice cream. My grandma is a vanilla/corn ice-cream lover. Unbelievable right?]

I myself prefer green tea flavor (but not my  hubby, will make him choc ice cream next time), that was after my visit to Japan in 200X. You hardly find any green tea  ice cream in  the supermarket. Today, I finally made my own green tea ice cream and it's absolutely super duper easy [without using ice cream maker]

Ingredient:
2 tablespoons of green tea powder
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup heavy (thickened) cream

Steps:
1. Mix the green tea powder with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a bowl
2. Mix the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a separate bowl.
3. Gently heat the milk on pan (not to let it boil). Remove the milk from the heat and mix a few spoonfuls of the warm milk with the green tea powder and sugar in a small bowl. When you have a smooth paste, add it to the remaining milk in the pan, then gradually combine with the egg yolk mixture.
4. Return mixture to the stove and heat slowly over low heat (not let the mixture boil). Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
5. Lightly whip the cream and then add it to the cold green tea-milk mixture.
6. Transfer the mixture to a large container and then put it in the freezer. As ice crystals start to form, remove and mix well with a spoon (use a spoon to stir vigorously) to break them up and return the mixture to the freezer. Repeat this a few times as it freezes to ensure that the ice cream is smooth.


Note:
a. 2/3 cup of sugar seem a little sweet to me.
b. This recipe was adapted from Spoonful Blog.


Green tea powder from Busan- Too much expensive! 
The color of the powder seem much much lighter
[AUD7.69 for just 40g]


That's my masterpiece.....


I hope you'll like it....
Cheers..

It happened long long time ago...

Yesterday when I was lying on bed , I thought of my childhood and only certain part of the memory 'lives'. While I'm able to reckon some, I would like to mark them down:

1) I'm alike tomboy during my childhood- climbing and jump from the gate! (that's the reason my sis used to follow me- a very bad example actually!)
2) I held my sis hand when I was sleeping- kinda sweet,right? [It's because I'm way to scare to sleep alone in dark]
3) We used to play "ma-masak" @ our backyard- assuming the brick walls as the oven, rambutan leaves as the plates and last but not least, the mud as the food! I still remembered we made our own "congkak" too.
4) I used to make my mum "mad & crazy" beating me all time~ I even hid  myself in the toilet.
5) Grandpa used to give me some money before going to school. (RM 1 is a lot to me..)
6) I used to fight with my sis, but grandpa didn't stop us. He stood there and kept shouting @ me ~ beat your sis down!!  (He knew I won't fight back!)
7) Attempting to smoke ~ I secretly took one from grandpa's and try out (Frankly, no one notice at all)
8) Every time when we visited the shopping mall (with our parents), we always had 2 big bag full of junk food. I really fell in love with the green bean snack at that time! :)
9) Our "ang pao" (from grandparents) were always special compared to the other grandchild!
10) We have to clean our backyard (full of rambutan leaves) all the time whenever we're asked to! We couldn't say NO at all to our dad. Besides, he liked to get me to make him tea too.
11) During CNY, 5 of us (3 of us + my parents) had to pack in one room. Only 4 rooms available~ 2 rooms had been occupied by my grandparents. The other room will have to share by 3 families during CNY.
12)  When I was playing "police catching thief" with my neighbors, supposed by touching that person had already counted, guess what I did? I 'grab' that guy with both hands. It's absolutely ridiculous yet hilarious to me. LOL
13) My sis and I met a naked man after our tuition. We took shortcut (the place they were bathing but we didn't notice the man)
14) We + other cousins met another naked guy (purposely dropping his clothes) during CNY.
15)  I poured water on my cousin's bed (he was staying with us for 2 years). He even did something stupid- putting powder to cover that.
16) I remembered that we had lamb chop during one of the CNY. Normally, we used to have steamboat!
17) We have to take turn to wash the plates after dinner. (exception happen only during our birthday)
18) I stole a cassette tape (Jimmy Lin) from from of the shopping mall. Luckily, I was not been caught! (Nothing to do with my parents- I was just too curious-I guess!)
19) I used to drop by my mum's parents house after tuition- they liked to make us kopi 'O'/Milo.
20) My dad knew we're not vege. lover- we're forced to eat them. Whenever there were vege dishes, he will definitely placed that on our plates (as I mentioned, we couldn't say NO at all to him)- Because of that, I'm a tofu lover now!
21) My dojo friends/schoolmates dare not come to my house- because of my DAD!
22) Mum bought and hide those sticks (to beat us when we're a nuisance). Guess what? We'll break and threw them away if we knew where the stick was...
23) My first time consuming alcohol was on my mum's dad (my grandpa) birthday with my cousins. We really enjoyed a lot.
24) My first bicycle was a BMX.
25) My sis, mum and I (on motorbike) were being stopped by policeman due to not wearing helmet and/or 3 of us (supposed 2pac on a bike).


I can't remember much about the time I spent with the youngest one. The only 2 things I could remember:
a) She thought grandpa's medicine were sweet. Of course, she was then sent to hospital for 'cleaning-up'!
b) We went to college together with my dad to enrol myself.

Receipe but no photos

I had promised to share the recipe
a) kimchi stew recipe
b) kongnamul muchim recipe


Honestly, I have no idea about Korean dishes at all until I found this website. In fact, they are easy to prepare (I'm someone who is always looking for something easy and do  not need to crack my head) and  I could easily find the ingredient here in Perth. To those who have been tired of cooking Chinese dishes (I'm a Chinese), why not try out something different? I am a little surprise, because Korean too are using sesame oil . :)


Asides hot pepper flake, they are using hot pepper paste!


Notes:
a. I replaced pork with chicken and added some potatoes & mushrooms to the stew too.
b. It's a little spicy (hot) but definitely it's a perfect match with plain rice.
c. I'm not sure the real taste (because this was my first time.)

Please share your experience if you did try out!
Cheers..

Kimchi 김치

I was a little emotional unstable yesterday- that's why thing go haywire!
Due to all sort of reason, my blog exits! "述说我的心情, 我的故事"
(I'm not someone who is happy all time, I do have unpleasant day as well)
After pouring it, I feel much more refreshing! >,<

However, I  would like to share something nice today!
As I mentioned earlier, I made my own kimchi (is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings- extracted from wiki). Find the recipe here
 

 * This is the red hot pepper flakes (powder)

* This is the packing (AUD13.90) from one of the Korea store

Sleepless Night

I'm @ my new house for 3 weeks already!
I'm doing the house chores and watching TV @ my HSH
It might be tiring but I really enjoy it- I made my own KIMCHI too :)


Do you how why? Still remembered the last two-years when I was in Perth, we're renting a room. At the very beginning, everything was just going perfectly fine but sooner and later, I had an argument. As a result, we're alike stranger now! It's kinda pity. That was really a bad happening to me in Perth.  I was being told before, we need to treat anyone as GOD's children but I failed.

I realized that there are lot of things which is uncontrollable. A lot of my OZ friend  (including my husband) knew what bout it and I did mention that to my mum as well. I felt so sorry /guilty because they are now the "middle man" between both of us. I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS. Frankly, I do have a thought of not meeting them but I knew I can't. It will definitely bring a lot of  inconvenience to my husband. Besides, I do mind how people see me. In anyone's eye, I might seem like a freak ass (* I like making assumption) because I do see myself in  this way too (My sis and my mum found that too!) I might not be a friend to my friends/anyone, but certainly I won't want this to be my end result. Of course, both of us did have some unpleasant stuffs happening in this 2 years but they are not as worst as this!

I always  thought I'm an EQ person but it turned ouy the other way round :( As a conclusion, this is so called LIFE- up and down! The main reason I'm pointing this is to just advise you that THINK TWICE BEFORE ACTION or else YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN,RIGHT?

Last but not least, I'm still considering whether to post this blog, anyhow I decided to go for it. I knew I would be receiving a lot of replies. DON'T WORRY MUCH. I would just want to share it with you-That's all!

'Butter' cake recipe

Ingredients:
125g cream cheese block
125g butter, softened

* 1 cup of castor sugar (I'm using white or granualated sugar)
3 eggs
2.5 cup self-raising flour
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)


Method:
1. Preheat oven 180°C fan-forced.
2. Using electric mixer, cream cheese, butter and caster sugar in a medium bowl on medium high-speed
until light and fluffy.
3. Add 1 egg at a time, beating to combine. Add half the flour and milk, stir to combine. Repeat with remaining flour and milk.
4. Spread mixture into pan.
5. Bake for an hour until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Leave it on the pan with door ajar.


Note:
- Supposed it's a butter cake receipe, but I'm not a true fans of butter cake. That's the reason I made some 'adjustment' with the original recipe.
- As I don't have vanilla essence @ home, so that's optional to me! (it might taste even better with the vanilla I guess)

Yummy!

It has been a week now...
Guess what? I had made 2 cakes- a cheesecake and a butter cake!
Actually 3- I failed one (the poppy & orange cake)
Anyway, it's a very good experience for me
(with the new mixer) We'll definitely becoming good buddy.
>,<

Note:
a. This is my 3rd attempt making cheesecake- so I don't see any problem at all!
b. This is first attempt baking a butter cake- Frankly, I like exploring new thing! I made some changes AGAIN to the cake. Instead of using 250g butter, I used 125g of cream cheese block + 125g of butter. My butter cake is much more softer now (Not too bad!)
c. Poppy and orange cake is a failure- It goes to the bin!

Another Malaysian

Last week, I was "chit-chatting" with a Penang guy!

It began with....

This Mr.X called through to TBOX TS for some assistance and of course I guided him as usual.  He then asked where I was originally from? I told him my location and he exclaimed that he is a Malaysian too. Both of us were so excited about it..

I then spent a few minutes with him chatting over life in Melbourne vs Perth.
Indeed, Perth is nothing at all compared to Melbourne or Sydney
That's the reason why both of us are in Perth
Haha

A total mess

The house is (in) a total mess...

We're busy painting and cleaning..
I don't think 4-days off will be enough for me to clean the mess! :)
(even though I knew how tired it was, still I enjoy it a lot- because this will be my home in Perth at the time being)
Besides, we have not unpack the furniture- they are still nicely packed in bedroom3 

Right now, I'm waiting for the 'guru' to fix the brick-paving outside!
Finally, he is here as I'm heading to work in 2hours time.


It's better to show you our 'masterpiece'. Here's the kitchen...
It was painted in Pale Tendril (very light green)

Toward The End V

I did have some photos to share- taken on last Friday!
Blind and door knob installed---->

We are now waiting for the carpet to be installed on next Monday. If not mistaken, house inspection should be carried out next week as well. We should be getting the keys the following week! ;)

On the other hand, Laura (my future neighbor) will be getting her key next week and move in. So, we are going to meet up on next Friday to discuss about the fencing. Finger crossed that this  will be the most inexpensive one (according to Laura-she had 5 quotes with her)

***@*@*@*@***


We visited the house on Sunday and very luckily, we met up with someone from the cleaning company came to clean up the house and we realized that the carpet was installed already!

Yipee, we should have our inspection next week and handover on the following week...>,<

 GOD BLESS...

0625.chilly.loneranger.

It is about 3°C out there. Luckily, I'm not working today! >,<
Will be staying @ home all day but I do have something going on
- cooking: Mince and veg porridge with fried fish
- follow up with builder
- watching series
- laundry

According to weather forecast, Perth is about 3-16°C for this entire week. 
My husband used to park his car outside (no garage @ this rented property)
Yesterday, there were a thin layer of ice all around his car!
He then had to pour the boiled water on the glass..
Ca you imagine how cold it was?

Going back to bed now
Zzzz

Stay cool and don't get too stress-up with work, OK?

"Unstoppable Grandmother Story"

I'm all alone in this cold and chilling night! 
Keng visited his friend and the couples were not around too..
I don't mind staying at home alone because I'm able to blast my speaker to the 'max' again
Listening to MIX Malaysia of course...
(my fav. radio station)

Oh GOSH, my house had finally came to the last 3 steps. They started the construction in late Feb and completed in mid July. It took just 5-months for completion. It's unbelievable, right? Someone might be thinking of the stability of the house? Honestly, I have no idea at all- will need to monitor and let you know later.

Furthermore, I'm kinda impressed of the process of the construction- Did I mention earlier? I guess not! Only ONE worker for each of the step along the construction!
Just to share with you that this is hydrangea 绣球花 in Chinese
and this is bougainvillea 九重葛 in Chinese
  

I'm thinking of planting mandarin, apple, grapes, vegetables and etc but not sure whether I'm capable enough!
I remembered during the days in Malaysia, I did have a cherry tomato plant and orchid before and I named my orchid as 'Demi' because I'm huge fans of Demi Moore at that time. Guess what, I still have the orchid kept in my prayer book.  That's the reason, I'm kinda proud of myself. :)

I'm talking to mum over the skype
Perhaps, I might have to just stop here
Talk to you next time
Cheers

Grinning from ear 2 ear

 How are you doing out there?

I'm kinda busy as I'm back to queue(no more own sweet time)
Besides, there are lots of changes that I'm still coping with now!
I just dislike taking calls after being in complaint team. :(

BTW, I have taken 4-days off during the period of moving house but won't be taking additional leave for painting but hubby will! To be honest, both of us can't wait to move it already. Handover should be in mid July (* progressing according to plan) I'm saying YES.YES.YES loud and clear -Welcome to visit me at anytime.

Supposedly this should be posted yesterday....

Anyhow today1/7/2011,  I'm extremely happy because I'll be refunded from Australian Tax Office soon. I had estimated that the amount is much more higher compared to last year!


Since today is Friday, any plans? I do have some plan for myself tomorrow:
- work for 5 hours (7.15-12.15pm)
- lunch with friend @ Sizzler

Going to have a nap now Zzzz
See ya and enjoy your weekend
Don't stress up, OK?

Saturday, June 25, 2011

Planning stage

Hurray, just a month to go!

We were informed that handover will be in mid of July and we'll then carry out:
- Internal painting
- Crossover
- Landscaping

On 28 July 2011, we'll officially be moving to the  house. Even though we're now in western country, we'll still be following certain tradition- just to make sure everything smooth sailing. I am thinking of hanging the "ang chai" on the entrance door but I left it in SP. Not because I'm superstitious, just feel that it's a nice decor. My neighbor (in phase 1) hung it before (I saw that!). During my trip back to Malaysia, I had bought 2 small pineapples that will go to alfresco area/entrance ;)

What else to do? Ya, we plan to have steamboat on that day itself to celebrate our jolliest moment. Definitely, it will be the best day ever in my life in Australia.

Will I be taking any days off? I'm still thinking of.... Haven't even submitted the leave form yet!

Landscaping? We haven't decide which plant to go for (in front of our house)- Hydrangea or Bougainvillea? 

More to come- Stay tuned!

Lucky Devil

As I mentioned earlier, we had bought some electrical appliances @ GoodGuy on 2 June 2011. Yesterday, we visited the store to just measure the refrigerator and found out there was a gap between bench-top and the fridge (5.5 inch). We then thought of swapping for a smaller one, however after consideration we decided to stick with the existing one.
 
On 24 June, again they are on sales and we noticed that the TV and washing machine we bought were on a tagged price too! Undeniable, I approached one of the sales for the tagged price. Guess what? I'll be paying AUD206 lesser than the exact amount I had to >,< Honestly, I don't mind to thicken my face when it comes to money, money money...

Toward The End V

Orchard


Last Sunday, we visited one of the orchard in Perth..
Unfortunately, there is nothing much to see..
We were advised to visit the orchard in Mar or Apr.

The main reason is to get CHEAP fruits...
Guess what:
1KG of pink lady red apple is AUD2
1KG of persimmon is AUD1.50
1KG of granny smith green apple is AUD1

Though the skin might not look appealing but they taste good!

(Admission fees: AUD2.50 to the orchard)
