Boxhill - The land of Asians!

About a month ago, my housemate, Yishan, had the good fortune of enjoying herself at a KTV gathering our friends from PwC organised. Due to the 'hectic' working lifestyle I have in Melbourne, and the sort of marvellous luck I always managed to possess somehow or another, I found myself having to say no to the attractive KTV gathering because I had to work!

My first real client engagement and I was involved in a quality review! ARGH! How lucky can I get?!?! For those fortunate ones who ain't involved in audit, a quality review is basically having a team of regulators inspect your documentation and work performed and conclude if your work is up to a quality benchmark set.

What does it mean? It meant having to do everything the RIGHT way, the QUALITY way. Which means heaps of time spent on finetuning work, which is why I can't go to the KTV! :'(

Anyway, I digress. Boxhill is DA place when you are looking for some value-for-money KTV or shopping or just basically, it is DA place if you want to feel at home. You might ask why. You might even wonder if it is DA place where people go to a hill and box their frustrations away. Haha, well, it is ALL of the above, plus the fact that it is FULL of asians! Everywhere you walk, you hardly see any angmoh. How cool huh. Hmm, now, does that mean only asians have a fiery temper? tsk tsk.

So I was told that a K lunch equivalent cost only A$15, accompanied by a set lunch & drink with 3-4 hours of sing time. Songs selection were decent too. I wanna go too!

So anyway, after 2 months in Melbourne, I finally had the chance to go Boxhill! All thanks to my Daihatsu Charade! :D

Doesn't it look like a pleasant suburb?

Everywhere looks empty and relaxed. That's Aust for you, people.

This was the MAIN reason why I went Boxhill! It is supposed to be very nice! Though I ain't a fan of Korean cuisine, everything's worth a try when you are in a foreign land! ;)

Look at the satisfied look from my housemates. The food was not bad, though not out of the world. But I thought the tea was special. It's some malt tea that tasted like rice tea. Now you wonder why there ain't any picture of me. These 2 are my housemates, Yishan is the one on the left. See how her face has blossomed in the short 2 months she has been in Melbourne? Haha, now you know why I am not in the picture...Keke
