Whats the Celcius today?

2011-12-01T03:02:00.001+10:30

after a depressing end to my exams T.T the bf took me out for a nice dinner, Chatime and crepes. so complete! :)

Dinner was at Celcius, Grote St. loved the big tables. so much space, but for so little food lol. cuz we cant affords a feast xp

The Baus! :3

I ordered the lamb, like a man! looks like a whole forest on the plate. sooo well represented i like!

Zack had the pasta, so unlike a man! haha decorated with lil flowers too. cute ^^

Thanks baby for dinner and all, but sighhhh, exam sucked shit, i hope i pass :'(

why, hello december :)

2011-12-01T02:23:00.001+10:30

Holidays geez! about time yeeeyayay!

so much passion to bake again. started off with my dad's birthday cake challenge. being away from the food blog browsing, food porn stalking for far too long, i'm so out of it.

i no longer have a list of recipes-to-try, list of following bloggers, bookmarked pages of recipes :(

so i had to dig this out of stored ideas and imagination.chocolate cakes, layered tortes, sponge cakes, durian cake, etc. such a wide range of possibilities! :O

what finally narrowed down my choice was the box of mangoes we bought from Woolies that afternoon. settle! Mango cheesecake it was! :P

like the sweet and salty cake i made for mom few years back, i was pleased and amazed by the end product ^^ yummy!

i think i got the flu its so annoying. ive got a stuffy nose for weeks! and cant taste food or breathe properly most days :/ what a bitch

two is better than one....?

the pros and cons of being single vs being in a relationship.

WAY TOO COMPLEX.

how to solve the problem? Find a guy who understands the joy of both and so gives you space so that you can enjoy the feeling of being single once in a while too, eg. occasional days with your friends doing what you usually do like old days.

THAT'LL BE PERFECT ><

mmmmm.

but not saying having all your freedom like a bachelorette and run to your guy when you only need him. thats taking advantage! :O but yea u know what i mean...

also, people complain about the changes they see when their friends get into a relationship. i only started to understand, from the inside view, that these changes are sometimes done to adapt to what your partner's likes/dislikes.

you just can't do wtv you like or used to as freely anymore, cuz there's someone else's feelings you need to worry about now.

i guess in the end, it makes it all worth it if you are doing it for the one you love ;)

Science fact#1... cuz I'm a Pharm student....? lol i kid :P but anyway, if you wanted to know,

washing your hands with soap and water MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! T.T cant even kill d bacteria look at before and after results.

okay that is all :)

hello!

2011-08-30T03:15:00.004+09:30

sorry for the uber long disappearance and hiatus.

and no, its not cuz I'm busy pat toh-ing....(or maybe?) lol nah jokes. I'm just getting to the stage every blogger will go through one day...the lazy-to-blog phase :O

latest update: yes I have a bf. one that loves me lots, but shows so much anger to me and scares me too. gota say, the ride has not been easy, but the good times we have together are amazing :)

life's different, not being single :/

Victor Harbor 2

2011-07-21T02:32:00.001+09:30

Once again, we were back at Victor, with a similar group :)

Accommodation was cheap and sweet!

but somehow, there was something different about the trip this time round. there was just a kind of distance :S

yea I would say I enjoyed the last trip more, cuz it seemed like we did more stuff at home and bonded over board games, cooking, one stupid movie, nerf wars etc. and I was closer with a few?

friendships do change over the years...sad but true. but i still love them heaps :)

the game of Kings was good fun tho, and some pretty amusing people we had!

the bridge to Granite island. Scenery by the beach always looks so pretty! kinda reminds me of our crabbing days in summer.

Feeeesh and Cheeeeeps! Runner up for Best Fish and Chips in SA, didnt disappoint :P good meal. i like duh fish a lot.

overall, a chilled get away! then back to reality, whole week of work T.T but honestly I love my job(s) :D tho it means i'm kinda losing my hols, at least I'm getting the *ka-ching2 and the *ba-bling2 ^^ and really, its not much, but enough to fund my spendings and recover from these trips and shopping splurges I've been on xp

Holidays, only one more week left D: results, not great. sads. gotta do better next sem and not slack, otherwise gg my life.

but Praise the Lord, I passed them.

LIKE A BAUS! (Y)

Treasuring my freedom

2011-07-07T20:55:00.002+09:30

Knowing I most probably might fail this sem D': I'm making the most out of the holidays I have now....which is till results come out. don't even wanna think about it T.T

Flew to Melbourne the day right after exams. and those 6 days were the best!! I wouldn't have wanted to travel with any other than those guys+girls :D

Melbourne city is so pretty. tall buildings. nice architectures....indeed, one of the best places to live in the world!

Visited Yon at his place all the way in the suburbs and he purposely woke up early to make me breakfast! while i hand squeezed 10 oranges for fresh orange juice. so much TLC!

Another one of my bestest travel companion, Zhen. we ate lotsa pockys together! ^^

Food wise, sushi burger was awesomeeeeee! So was Grill'd! *droools* burgers are just that great! in any way (Y) what a pity both of these, we can't get it in SA :(

Macarons were delicately made. to me, they're just eye candy, i rather eat desserts like snow ice or icecream!! :P

Hardware Lane, LIVE JAZZ! i melt at the music, perfect dining atmosphere. loves!

I LOVE BEING AWAY FROM ADELAIDE!

...but some ppl just had to spoil it a lil :/

My contract is over, but I'm still with the same phone...

2011-07-06T20:25:00.001+09:30

the sunday of an emotional roller coaster. thank God I have wise friends :)

"put it this way elysia
this is my advice and opinion to you

well
we never know wat will happen in the future
whether you will find some1 better
or not
but at the moment
right infront of you
there's this guy here
going crazy over you

what do you mean others say you can do better?
find some1 more good looking?
find some1 richer?
find some1 more successful?
i dont know
to me
love is a feeling
we're young
we fall many times
sometimes we come out alive
sometimes half dead
but at least
we gave it hell of a run

as long as you like him
you think you two can have a good time
dont think so much
unless
u thinking of marrying him
...

which in that case i think i need to talk to you for 3hours about that."

LOL. SHENGJUN I MISS YOU!! THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME! where do you get advice like that on top of your head!? ahh lubiulongtaim :)

2 more weeks to goooooooooo

2011-06-19T19:10:00.001+09:30

Looks like everyone on fb is putting up silly studying, or stressed up pics. I thought I'd do it too xp

Trying to look at the bright side of this dreadful exams. im just so sick of studying :(

so hello! :D

I'm healing

2011-06-17T16:06:00.007+09:30

setting your priorities right in God changes everything.

what more can you ask in times like this than supportive friends who pray for you and call to encourage you. drive you home after a late night in uni. help buy food when you're so hungry. making me laugh with stupid replies to my emo tweets, they are the best.

i find it hilarious when ppl make jokes out of my depressing story. well, not at first, but after a while. guess it makes me look at the bright side n i end up laughing it off its not so sad anymore.

some of you are the funniest ppl alive! :D

you know who you ppl are.

xiexie terima kasih fankiuvelimuchly.

zhen n johnny, my greatest fans lol. come to my house soon i'll make you guys food :P

Facebook your face!

2011-06-12T02:30:00.003+09:30

technology ruins studies T.T thought about it so many times, but its so hard to get my hands down to de-activated this social network site. shows how dependant we are on it :/

but what's actually holding me back is the unisa group we have. so much ohana-ship in there. encouragement, cute random thoughts, shared videos, links, discussion about studies, post to purposely pay each other out, where we go on bout the stupid stuff we did in uni, the lame inside jokes we have, etc...

makes everyone feel loved and like we're part of a big extended family :) this is whats gona sustain me throughout this exam period.

I'm gonna breakdown anytime. hate exams D: hope this month goes by in a flash!

Someone's surprised!

2011-06-05T02:48:00.017+09:30

Slight sense of achievement I tend to get when i bake a birthday cake *grins*

so happy cuz i get to properly bake something after quite a long while ^^

so, i had a super short window of 2.5hrs to bake 2 batches of cake, unmould, cool, make candied oranges, syrup, and decorate. kinda surprised myself in how i managed to finish it in time. simplicity at its prime (Y)

To: the guy who told me i'm, n i quote him, "missing out a lot in life, serious" cuz I haven't touch his abs o.O yea...is it cuz you're an ex-renoma model? lol and who carefully explained in detail and insisted that i make him a cake, happy birthday to you!

Aside from annoying me with ur relationship problems, giving me stupid names, trying to act cool, dressing up in a hawaii shirt which is a serious call for the fashion police (i know u dont know my blog, hope you never see this, but if u do, i am just kidding XP); you've been a good friend, and your drums skillz are for.the.win!!

ps. u have too much bromance goin on. for real. that is all. hope u had a greaaaatt birthday. we succeeded in surprising you. shows how noob you are :)

Papparazzi

2011-06-01T02:48:00.002+09:30

I can't believe my stalking skills got my cousin a boyfriend.

MY STALKING SKILLS GOT MY COUSIN A BOYFRIEND! :D :D

excited max!! also cause he's soo good looking! i'm sooo happy for her, with a slight tinge of jealousy. not that i want him, but how did she just get the guy she wants so easily!!

story was, he was the only pretty boy i saw in Malaysia during my last trip. so i sneaked a photo of him at the company dinner. he actually looks a lot better in real life. do you know how rare it is to find a good looking boy in small town malacca!? so i quickly showed the picture to my cousin who couldnt go to the dinner that night, got some background info from our aunty who was in charge of his department etc.

being pretty, sexy and all that, I think someone like her would have pretty good self-esteem. she added him on fb and started chatting, and things grew, and all that's history now, and they're a couple :)

life.

i guess these days, girls need to be more aggro? make the first move now huh. gg to me xp

or else, i'll just continue to stalk cute boys and match make my friends with them..

Crazy little thing called Love

2011-05-29T02:00:00.020+09:30

watched my first ever thai movie. i thought it was pretty good, storyline was slightly fairytale like, my favourite kind! and the end was so touching, i teared :')

after 2 years of liking the guy, she mustered up her courage to tell the guy she likes him. but what do you know, the guy just got a girlfriend. how awful and awkward would that have felt :/

but saying that, the guy actually liked her all along! only that he never told her and she never knew.

i would say, geez if you like someone let them know! but it'll just b hypocritical cuz i personally don't have that courage to do that first. but...yea guys...

neway she did tell him her true feelings in the end, so she's my idol (Y)

good show good looking ppl ;)

My most priced possession, but it's priceless

2011-05-22T16:32:00.005+09:30

Mei's dress up party was on yesterday night. How fast does time fly, I can still rmbr last year's so clearly...what we wore, the things that happened, ppl who were there etc, slightly nostalgic :/ but! Interesting one this year. though we really didnt do much, less amusing drunk ppl, the costumes kept us entertained.

many people were of really good sport and took the challenge up seriously, skipping uni just to make their costume at home, spending their pocket money on materials and starved lunch. i'm not kidding.

I, on the other hand, thought i could just wing it last minute, come home from mt barker after an 8 hr shift, open my closet, just full of costumes, u know, put one on and go. xp

truth is, wasnt as easy as i thought it could be. i had no character in mind to begin with. anyway, long story short, i ended up taking my most favouritest toy out of the house - lil lamby. and went as Mary.

LAMB FACTS:
1. had it since i was 1 yrs old
2. given to me by my cousins from NZ
3. never gave it a name, so it's just known as lamby, (like how you call dogs, doggy) i know, i'm just that creative.
4. i never thought of sex-classifying it, couldnt make up my mind. so it's bi-sexual, a male when i want it to be, and a female the other times.
5. i count lamb to sleep. there's only 1 in my room, easy. and u can tell, i'm not a math genius.
6. one of its ear is falling off :(
7. it's just too small to be hugable, so i pet it ^^
8. my lamb doesnt stink like the animal in real life
9. my sister doesnt have one, so having this lamb makes me feel a bit more special shhsh :P

teenage fairytale

2011-05-18T23:58:00.003+09:30

high school days when the soccer boy had a crush on the cheerleader :)
staying back for after school practices, to either practice, or watch the other practice.
sitting next to each other without saying much on the benches.
buying him istonic drink so he doesn't dehydrate, but he kept it instead cuz it was too precious.

it's just cute thinking about how all those actually happened.

anyway, sharing a random song I'm into atm: By Chance (You & I) by JRA. it so cute i smile everytime i sing to the lyrics :)

did i just say cute twice :/

Asian talent and humour

2011-05-16T11:42:00.007+09:30

1-2 years ago I had this massive crush on a boy. he's so cute and funny, just how i imagined my dream guy to be. his dad is also pretty cool, I really wouldnt mind marrying into that family. super like asians with an accent, he has that too. but after a while, it all died down and i realised...he does have really small asian eyes -.- then I see him again once in a while and he makes me laugh, then i fall again...
<--- you know who im talking about? xD

haha ok part of that is exaggerated. part of that is metaphoric. part of that is true. part of that is just silly.

you know i'm just kidding right. I'm not an embarrassing asian fan girl. well i comment on fb, tweet on twitter like "Oh.myy.gosshhh.i love them.sooo.much! or He's my boyfriend" but its just for fun haha xD

I just think Kevjumba is really cute, and RyanHiga pretty hawt. I'm thankful I'm Asian, cuz imagine if I was White and was head over heels over these few asian youtube celebrities, that's. just. so. weird. awkward. and... inter-racial. o.O

Then, there's also Jayesslee who I might turn gay for. no homo.

anyway, Boombox was NOT great. only these 4 people were, no offence to the rest, but yea...they either bored us, made us scrunch, or killed our ears.

Organisers were fail. VIPs werent given VIP treatment. cant take pictures with the celebs really? how majorly disappointing. just as well we didnt get those tickets.

nevertheless it was a good night. had the right friends to go with. met randoms who i never think i would meet at a place like this. and finally met the adelaide tb population and realised how UNCOOL they really are.

Sugar in a pot

2011-05-12T01:27:00.001+09:30

Sunshine! oh how I miss it. it has been like the friggin Antartica here these days.

where art thou taeyang ._.

so asian layering fashion isn't good enough to brave this cold. i rocked up to uni today in my awesomely comfy PJs, cept the jeans o.O

it's just one of those days, u don't feel like getting out of bed, so you bring the bed out with you :)

I love weekends!

2011-05-09T01:33:00.001+09:30

PEAS! :D

Ever look at your best friend and wonder why the hell you aren't comedians?

2011-05-02T02:39:00.015+09:30

suddenly felt like blogging, after doing a maccas run with Simon, Jlo and Darryl. came home pretty happy cuz the night was quite duh funnehhh and chilled, no awkwardness, just amusing talks, and slightly multi-lingual -.-

then it clicked to me, that those 3 have been pretty much my bestest guy friends all these while, ever! wah den i felt even more gam dong. it's not even my birthday, and i'm out with my 3 fav ppl :')

they've each been there for me in so many different ways. not gona be sentimental and elaborate on that, but yea...

3 very diff ppl
3 very different friendships
3 very different lols to inside jokes or things only both of us know
but 3 equally awesome friends

i guess in the end, being best friends would be one of the best things ever. cuz bestfriendship lasts forever....

unless someone starts a bitch fight, but cant really happen in this case, its 3 guys we're talking about here, cept Jlo who may sound slightly girly when he speaks in his taiwanese accent *shivers*

so yes, anyway,

COOL STORY.

ps. hope your gfs wont hate on me for hanging out with u guys (cept darryl, go get one) do tell them i said they're very lucky girls to have you guys. kthxbai :)

Sydnysiders, Melbournites and Adelaidians unite!

2011-04-28T17:43:00.000+09:30

Love it when old friends come visit! Adelaide is so quiet sometimes, and everybody is so familiar, you need new or long lost faces to add a lil change to the daily routine.

Had so much fun while they were here, taking them around to eat :P eventhough so much has happened since I left BU4 (a massive 5 year gap) nothing has really changed with these people, cept that the guys all grew taller and skinnier, geez xp

first day back to uni started with a big continental breakfast!! good start you say? i felt so sleepy the whole day still. can't believe 2 and a half weeks went by so quickly!

was an emotional roller coaster but I had fun! :D

Thrown into the deep end, fighting for survival

2011-04-26T14:24:00.004+09:30

just turned 20 and life's throwing me all it's crap already.

it's like, BAM there you go, you're 20, not a kid anymore, act more matured, fight for yourself, DEAL WITH IT!

here's problem 1, problem 2,3,4...never seen it before? good for you, get through it, learn to be more responsible, no one's there to spoon feed you anymore.

whoa whoaa ._.

i know that life prunes you with it's challenges, to make you a stronger, better person and all, but it's having a joy ride on me now, and slapping me with mixed emotions.

never knew growing up was this hard.

She's a little scared to get close to anyone because everyone who said "I'll be there" left

2011-04-22T10:24:00.017+09:30

is it a trend that everyone's writing emo blog posts about relationships these days =/

WongFu's latest production is so touching.

Strangers, again. A short clip that captures the reality of relationships. so good.

stage 1: meeting: "like most, we started of as strangers."
i guess everyone has a story of their own, how/where/why you two met. whether u end up being just close friends or getting into a relationship, days like those you never forget.

then theres the chase, the best part. all you want to do is hang out, know each other, and everytime you see each other, butterflies :)

by the end of it all (the chase and the honeymoon stage), you already had bajillion pictures with each other, knew every detail of your daily lives...then you enter,

comfortable stage: "whether it's taking each other for granted, or people changing over time, the bottom line is, someone stops trying, feelings aren't that strong as before."

what better way to put that.

then it goes downhil: "eventually the 2 of us will move on, and find someone new. and even when we both get over the past, and try to remain friends, things will never be the same. our lives will continue on in different directions, becoming strangers again. and everything we share will just become fragmented memories."

:(

or if you're blessed enough, you story will be the total opposite and you'll be lucky you're in love with your best friend :)

lets hope mine doesnt go down route 1 (again)

Fruit of the spirit

2011-04-19T01:15:00.010+09:30

Jeff randomly came up with the topic bout the Fruits of the Spirit in the car on Sunday.

and I‘ve learnt how to say all 9 of them in cantonese now!

Love 仁爱 yan ngoi
Joy 快乐 hei lok
Peace 和平 woh ping
Patience 忍耐 yan noih
Kindness 恩 yan chi
Goodness 良心 lern seen
Faithfulness 实 suen suck
Gentleness 温柔 wan yao
Self-control 自制 tsic tsye

how beautiful are they :)

and we kinda came to a conclusion that self-control was the toughest one. story of my life :/

Music in the air

2011-04-03T15:45:00.006+09:30

How clever is Adelaide to leave pianos lying around the streets!

apparently they stay there, rain or shine.

spotted one in chinatown today too.

walking down the paved paths on beautiful sun shiny day, hearing the sound of light touches of the fingers on the keys from a distant....bliss!

may it be people playing random notes to an off-beat rhythm, or a melodious piece of a well-known classical song, they still create a somewhat nice musical atmosphere.

or you could just play around and make music with friends! :D

~~with your oily fingers after eating kfc xp~~

Catchy

2011-04-01T00:06:00.015+10:30

It's Friday, Friday,

gota get down on Friday,

Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend,

Friday, Friday,

getting down on Friday,

Everybody's looking forward to the weekend.

Partyin' partyin' (yeah)

partyin' partyin' (yeah)

fun fun fun fun.

Ohh I really dont mind this song now xD
the lyrics is so catchy, eventhough its such a stupid song.

I tend to love what most people hate, like justin bieber.

I don't even know what I hate.

sometimes I really wonder what life of a hater is. you just don't like everything don't you! life must be so hard. like, do you have a problem? xp

anyway, today's gona be a good Friday :D

April Fools! let's get cheeky ;p huhu.

"fly rice fly rice gotta chao down my fly rice" - Peter Chao

If only I did part time study

2011-03-29T13:51:00.009+10:30

then i'd had more time to do what i like

... i can stay in uni for longer

... i can have relaxing days

... i can work without feeling guilty of 'wasting time'

... i can watch a movie

... i can exercise more often

... i can go to the supermarket

... i can do more shopping

... i can get better grades in my subjects

... i'll be less stress in uni

... i can play on my piano more

... i can properly pick up guitar

... i can bake more

... i can take more pictures

... i can travel around more

yes i'm prolly ranting cuz life's pretty full on atm. far out T.T

anyway, i read ppl's blog and it really shows the emotional side of them. not quite the same to what they usually are in person. i wonder whether i seem like that kind too, do i seem like im a different person when i blog? o.O

made me realise how people do go thru phases of our lives alone. we seem perfectly fine on the outside, but in us, there's a battle, hurt, confusion or some challenges.

you dono who to tell, how to let go, so blogging kinda lets you spill your heart out in words. i admit, i put it out there vaguely sometimes heh.

for over 20 years...

2011-03-26T02:15:00.017+10:30

it's such a cliche thing to say, "i'm no longer a teen", or sth along those lines when you turn 20. but yea maybe there's no better way to put it.

but, honestly, it doesn't feel any different. teen or ty.... haha just thought of that, is ty the next level up from teens? xp ok no. anyway, like every other person, every other year, on their every other birthday,

I FELT LOVED.

for making birthday more momentous, special thanks to - MelB, JohnnyL, ZhenY, SimonC, MeiY, ClaireT, pharm girls, xian and hang :) know that you guys are the most spasial people to me!

johnny pervy lo blogged about me :O

UNCHECKED =/

L is for the way you look at me

2011-03-19T01:04:00.003+10:30

I really enjoyed today's pre-wedding shoots for Andrew and Yun's wedding.

Hanging around the pros, seeing them work, working with them, made me learn SO MUCH!

What an interesting job one can get into. may it be just a side income or as your main career, photography is amazing! and it is so interactive too, especially when you get to work with people as subjects. love it love it love it.

I think I shouldn't post my pics up before the actual wedding (which is tomorrow) or before the pros do it.

So here's a sneak preview and one of my shots in the basement.

working in low light environments was a whole new level for me. putting yourself in that environment definitely makes you learn a whole lot better and quicker. photography jargons such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lens width & diameter etc, came alive to me today ^^

it's gona take a lot of practice, practice, and practice!

can't wait for the wedding tomorrow, what a lovely couple getting together forever! :)

Borndays

2011-03-18T01:11:00.012+10:30

I love celebrating people's birthdays. it's one of the simple joys of life when you know you made someone happy on their special day, and to enjoy with them their start of another 365 day trip around the sun :D

great birthdays need the company of great friends.

and great friends makes the birthdays great.

who else would stalk your timetable to know when and where you'll be finishing your class, steal your lunch and eat your lunch, in order to treat you to better lunch!

plan and organise a party, and get together almost everyone we think you possibly know for your surprise 21st!

true friends :)

what more do we want than to hope you feel loved on this very momentous day of yours!

Act cute ^^

2011-03-16T00:11:00.018+10:30

Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near?

2011-03-11T18:57:00.013+10:30

just checked and realised I've been singing the WRONG lyrics to one part of that song all these years!!

My version:
so they sprinkled gold-dust in your hair and golden starlight in your eyes so blue.

The correct lyrics:
so they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue.

this is how picking up lyrics from listening to the radio as a kid fails. my version really made no sense! lol

unlike lyrics of songs nowadays which are all about picking girls up from clubs and getting laid; lyrics of old-school love songs like these are just so sweet, down to earth, honest and innocent.

Why do stars fall down from the sky, everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you :)

Milk that got me free kisses =*

2011-03-07T22:47:00.012+10:30

not from the milk man of course ._.

today at the supermarket, 2 short elderly Italian ladies were having trouble getting milk from the refrigerator.

I offered to help and like a true *cough＊ hero, I managed to get those cartons out for them x)

they were so grateful, then unexpectedly, one of them kissed her hands, and with her wet palm, she rubbed that moistness onto my cheeks. *gasps* I had no time to process the thought of "WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WAS AN ITALIAN" so it was an awkward palm-kiss. i think i just smiled back.

how sweet are these grandmas! and this is the beauty of old age - you hang out at supermarkets.

Love it when the seasons change

2011-03-06T15:43:00.007+10:30

ch-ch-ch-change!

did u just think of Hyuna's dirty pumping ;p

...or not nvm heh.

In a blink of an eye my 500 days of Summer is gone :(

and Autumn is here! falling leaves, chilly winds, slightly shorter daylights...

anyone who wants to visit Adelaide should come in March, it's so happening! it's really shining as the Festival State.

just having crowds walking in town late at night is such a beautiful sight to me.

hearing music, live bands, chatter and the sound of utensils hitting against the plate, makes me wanna walk towards the noises and see the pleasant smiles on peoples faces in that environment.

also, the colours of Autumn are starting to inspire me! :)

Good start

2011-03-05T12:29:00.043+10:30

This morning, I woke up and made breakfast, first time this week.

People say we should eat breakfast like a King!

That's why ~~this is the biggest breakfast spread you'll ever see!~~

....my jam has FOUR fruits! does yours??

I wouldnt think so! :p

(sry I decided to delete my rants) but I'll leave this:

T.G.I.F

2011-03-04T23:07:00.020+10:30

today, I got good news! :D I literally jumped for joy!! but I didnt get stuck .....excuse me are you saying im fat?? :O

When you are happy about something, or receive a good news, you get so excited you are itching to share the good news with somebody!! who is the first person you think of telling?

that special someone, someone that might be happy for you, your closest friend, your family...

i used to text, multimedia message, facebook, personally hug ppl and all that, when i had my lil moments of happiness, like when i got my camera, passed my exam, saw shooting stars, received awesome gifts etc. woohoo. too bad my life does not involve much of my own excitement, more of getting excited for others.

syok sendiri, the most appropriate term in these cases. my bad for those of you who don't understand malay. there's just no english term for this.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I FEEL WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME THEIR HAPPY STUFF!

u get excited, i get excited, we get excited. same theory as "i love you, u love me, we are happy family". it just gets better!

to those who heard from me, haha i know it's not exactly the greatest news ever...... but know now that you are spasial :)

Monday blues

2011-02-28T23:31:00.006+10:30

My new routine: Sunday - Great time at church, awesome lunch with church friends at chinatown, bubble tea line up after lunch, work at the restaurant at night, then comes, what I call the new and improved....*wait for it*

Moaning Mondays D:

a 9am-6pm uni day, then BSF at 7-9pm at night.

gg mai life!

i used to get Mondays off, so sadz nao. but at least we have a good 2 hour lunch break slot to catch with other people, or even just with ourselves. the super tafe family is still as close as everrr (Y)

Hallelujah for 3pm start on Tuesdays!

Hello

2011-02-27T16:53:00.020+10:30

...How are you?

...How's it going?

our tongue slips either of these sentences after the Hello so automatically nowadays.

and when someone asks you that, do you really give much thought about how you really are before answering?

most of the times, after asking how the person is, don't we actually know the answer to it already anyway. no matter what mood the person is in, he might be bright and cheery, or he might be thinking 'piss off', he'll still smile and say...

Good thanks, how are you? :)

Many times, I say "Hello", and the person answers me with "Hey, good thanks"

I HAVEN'T EVEN ASK HOW YOU WERE DOING!

*then comes the awkward silence after he realises he just answered a non-existing question*

hahaha fail xD

But now from way up here, it's crystal clear

2011-02-21T03:34:00.008+10:30

Was slightly excited when I purchased my first ticket to a Ferris Wheel ride!

fell in love with the ticket even before the ride. too bad I can't keep it. *sadface* but at least I got a picture ^^ looks like a real deal show ride ticket!! maybe cuz it is, or maybe I'm just easily fascinated.

Even the view from the bottom up was stunning already, couldn't wait to see what we could see from way up there!

the ride looked really fast from down below, never have I seen a ferris wheel move that quickly. Maybe it's just this one, cuz there's nothing much Adelaide can offer you for a view......

...are you kidding me??

IT'S BEE-YOUU-TEE-PULL! :D

oh wowwwww, so awestrucking! i now wish to go on as many ferris wheels, all around the world!! that would be an amazing life goal/thing to do and remember.

a ride that has no thrill whatsover, some may see it as the most boring ride ever, but NOT if you have a loved one; or a camera, like me! and of course, friends who were in the same passenger car who I *cough* kinda forgot their existence *cough* cuz I was too caught up with the view and the windddd! hehe oops.

so nicee :)

Tickling my senses

2011-02-18T02:55:00.002+10:30

I like the smell of familiar things after being away for so long.

I like coming home after a long trip. It always looks different, the house, though it's actually the same, i like this kind of foreign-familiarity. so weird, so nice.

I like the sound of the pedestrian walk beeps here in Australia, it's quite cute seeing how people walk quicker according to the beat.

I like touching.........my hair?

I like people.

I LIKE A LOT OF THINGS.

this picture for example, i like it too :)

Laughter is like drugs, it makes me so high

2011-02-18T01:16:00.007+10:30

One day, char siew pao and man pao went to the cinema. After the movie, char siew pao cried, man pao didn't cry.

WHY??

cuz char siew pao got feeeeeelling, man pao don't have feeeeelling!

HAHAHA.

The next day, char siew pao and tau sar pao went to the movies. Char siew pao laughed, Tau sar pao cried.

WHY??

cuz char siew pao and tau sar pau have different feeeeeellings!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

hope you laughed.

if not, sorry, I was laughing by myself then, but i don't mind :D

foreveralone.

heh :p

Alls Well Ends Well

2011-02-16T14:12:00.012+10:30

The last night in Malaysia was lovely. simple, casual, and spent it with my mostest favouritest, bestest girls and guy friends in the whole wide world! these few are the only ones who I know their house and mobile numbers by heart, even after sooo many years.

they took me around to do what I wanted to do, and eat what I wanted to eat hehe.

I cannot ask for anything more! I'm so gay :D no homo.

watched I love Hong Kong at 12.20am, after we couldn't think of anything else to do. late night movies ftw, solves all the indecisive problems.

ZOMG THE MOVIE IS SO CORNY BUT HILARIOUSLY FUNNEHHH! I couldn't catch my breath between my laughs and couldn't swallow my popcorn properly cuz the jokes kept coming!

the names of the 3 main characters are Ng Tung 吳通 Ng Shun 吳順 and Ng Ming 吳明. HAHA hope you got the joke. Aarif Lee is quite hensum! but still slightly devo I couldnt watch Louis Koo in Mr. and Mrs. Incredible xp

air-nee-weiii...

the days when I'm always waiting for the guys to finish takei, calling them to wake up and go eat lunch, having very late dinners, being surrounded by fruitie smoke from all their shisha *cough*, having nice girlie talks etc will be long gone till the next time i come back.

they say laughter is good medicine, i think i got a very good dose from hanging with these people this past month :D

More candles to blow

2011-02-15T13:22:00.011+10:30

It's been a while since I've done a birthday post, so here's one now!

One of the very first person who is turning 21 in 2011!

thought that cuz I won't be in Adelaide to celebrate this joyous day of yours, that I'd just post a lil shout out here.

hmm...so many things to say and thank u for, but I think I'll just keep this short, sharp and shiny!

we've only been friends for a year plus out of your 21 one years - one of the shortest but closest friends I've had. gave me a huge shock the first time we met haha but good times there after.

you once told me you're like a bitter old man..

hahahaha i'm not quite sure about that. cuz beneath whatever mask you have on, im seeing a big heart inside. hard to elaborate, u might not see it yourself, but that's what i discovered from hanging out with you guys quite a bit last year. u're different, in a good way, and many qualities u have are admirable i must say.

anyway, here's wishing you sugar, spice and everything NICE this year!

Tho we may not see or hang out with each other as often anymore, know that i still......REMEMBER WHERE YOU LIVE :O

hahaha just kidding.

what i meant or wanted to say is dw changes won't affect friendships

:) =] :]

happy birthday simon.

Last week in Malaysia

2011-02-13T20:20:00.021+10:30

everything gets better and better especially just as you're about to leave.

EXCEPT THE WEATHER.

the humidity is........~~STARTING TO MOISTURIZE MY SKIN~~ getting a bit hard to tolerate. imagine getting all sweaty just after u step out of the shower. ewwwww. makes me just wana live in a bathtub.

I think I'm all good now about going back to Australia just to escape this weather.

Valentines day tomorrow, or Single Awareness Day, however you see it. It's my last Monday in Malaysia!

I don't know whether I should be writing so much...

2011-02-10T01:25:00.013+10:30

I'm happy in a way that everything is clear now, to me. I learnt more and grew slightly, now time to move on.

I think everything happened for a reason, no matter how the outcome turned out to be, everything in between were still good memories.

hmm sad? disappointed? not really, i don't know. more like I felt something being lifted off my shoulder for some reason, and the troubles that seemed to worry me seem distant now. when I look at the brighter side, it makes me smile! no hard feelings :)

Think POSITIVE: If you fall down the stairs what do you say, DAMN I GOT DOWN THOSE STAIRS FAST ;)

anyway, I'm looking forward to this year. though things are gona be different, I'm still slightly excited cuz I believe better things are gonna happen. so pumped!! I feel like 2010 was the pruning year, the year i let my hair down a bit and did what I liked and how i liked it. But I think it's time to step down from Cloud 9.

I've experienced the years where putting God first really made a difference in every part of my life. They were unforgettable, being able to see how all of God's promises are so true, it was really encouraging. It'll be good to live it again.

I'm loving life in Malaysia now. I really don't wana go back to Adelaide, not now! :(

but I guess I have to, home is there after all. one more week, so I shall start counting down the days, sadly...

HOLD MY TISSUES WHILE I COUNT WITH MY FINGERS D:

Truely Malaysians

2011-02-09T13:23:00.007+10:30

A late night, after a whole tiring day in Genting with the Adelaidians, after spraining my foot sliding on the snow and jumping down 20-30 flight of stairs, I still manage to get these other ppl all out to take me to KLCC. so nice, they're always up to do anything impulsive, anytime of the day/night, and take me anywhere I wana go :')

A picture with our nations pride. Could already feel the majestic aura just by standing underneath it.

picture taken by Nick Yeow. If you had seen how he positioned himself to take this picture you would laugh and rolled down those steps, then into the water fountain behind.

walked around with my one foot limping, holding onto everyone to support myself, so cham. they were like let's to a jump shot, i said "I CAN'T JUMP". they laughed xD I didnt know a sprained foot could put you in SO MUCH PAIN.

surprising how this famous beef noodle shop was still open past midnight. late night supper since it was a long and tiring day.

saw a big fat rat run across. mmhhm. for the love of street food. thank God im not a hygiene, hand sanitiser freak. guess being brought up in this kind of environment for so many years, we tougher like that. qin kam xiu jie? not quite XP

发大财！

2011-02-04T01:56:00.003+10:30

The only time my parents allow me to gamble -- with family, during CNY.

I've been really lucky!! for cereal. Playing blackjack, i got double Aces 3 times! triple win hehe. I guess life's fair afterall. If something sad, bad or down happens; good, happy stuff happens as well to balance it out! woot.

biggest bet that day. one straight 100dollar note from an uncle. ah pinn gorgor was the dealer and took it on. the uncle opened his cards straight away and got 18.

we got 14. so the next card HAS TO BE MORE THAN 4 TO WIN!! it was a nerve-wrecking few seconds while we slowly revealed the card =S

slowly peaked at the card and saw 4 diamonds at the corners. ooooo it's either gonna be a draw or HOPEFULLY we get a diamond in the middle too. a FIVE is all we need! *fingers crossed*

BAM IT WAS A 5! the whole Ng family cousins rejoicedddd :D happiest gambling moment ever haha.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH GONG XI GONG XI *HANDSHAKE*

see those 3 kam (mandarin oranges) on the table, they gave us good luck indeed ^^

hope u liked my narration

hope u understood it :p

Treasuring the tradition

2011-02-03T13:20:00.016+10:30

每年初一，我们一家大小都会去外婆家吃面线。每一为孙，每一位儿女都是吃面线长大的。我外婆煮的面是最好吃的！

大家一早就会来到，家里很热闹，这种气氛我最喜欢！ :D

It felt like I was writing a primary school chinese essay. weird.

So, both parent's side of the families are from Malacca - the Angs and the Ngs. so we've been like nomads going from one place to the other, hanging out with one family and then the other. Thank God Malacca is such a small town.

A new discovery (to me) of a connection between me and the Ang and Ng extended family:

so, I'm related to personA both ways.

from my dad's side, I'm her aunty.

from my mom's side, I'm her cousin.

can't get your head around it? haha i know right wat a weird-win relationship!

It's so good how I'm one of the few of the younger cousins. most of them are already working, some married etc. the older ones treat us so well, really, I feel spoilt :)

nothing beats the company of family members! we've been eating together, shopping together, visiting houses together etc. SO UNITED

little taste of being at the Angs ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E_8lAvBhw8

it's just my stupid facial expressions i swear I don't have a yongsui face xD

been eating a lot of DRY cookies, crackers, nuts blehh, my voice is cracking abnormally more than usual :(

Do we look alike? cuz our fathers do!

2011-02-02T02:08:00.003+10:30

youngest cousins of the Ang family - Shaun and Bryan. so grown up now!

later on that night, we took more stupid pictures on the mac with the rest of the other cousins.

They made me laugh until my my lungs couldn't cope, my abs popped out, and I had to grab on to every stool nearby to maintain balance.

at the end of the day, I'll be holding on to the memories like these that make me laugh huhu :D

did u tell u, i love yu sang!

LOU AH LOU SANG!

it's so good. i think we've had it more than 5 times already during the days leading up to new years. before every dinner with friends or family, we'll surely order it to start with. it is such a good entree :P

Something missing this new years

2011-02-01T23:34:00.006+10:30

Beneath all the joyous festive cheer, we will be missing you Qi :(

do you know we got a new car in remembrance of you! 22.3 your birthdate, which is just a day before mine :)

it's so comfy and big, i feel so tiny in it. the ride is soooo smooth, i don't even get car sick when i sit in it. we watched a movie on the way to Melaka and it was the best drive ever, didnt even feel long.

made honey joys for you the other day cuz we know u love it. ur mom had all the ingredients already prepared, she knew u always wanted to make them but didnt let you cuz didnt wan u to get fat :P

visited ur new 'home'. IT IS SO PRETTY! landscape's so nice, such a peaceful looking place.

even the toilet there looks friggin awesome! I'll come up with any silly reason possible just to go pee! :P i always believe that toilets must be the best room in the house, just a personal opinion hehe.

since I'm on this, visited T-bowl the other day. a toilet concept restaurant.

seats were toilet bowls, tables were sinks. dishes were the WC, bathtubs etc. but food tasted like crap. yes. ironically. eventhough it looks so good.

Anyway, it's February the FIRST. already the 2nd month of the new year. that was quick. being in Malaysia is really good :) but i dono what I will be expecting when I get back to adelaide, will everything still be the same?

oh btw i cut my hair today. after what felt like a million years. still looks the same to me. that's why i dont really see the point of cutting hairs. BUT THE HAIR WASH WAS AMAZING! :D

My banana friends

2011-01-30T01:20:00.005+10:30

Nick: What's 'xing nian kuai le'?

Shaun: "I think it's something like, have a good day tomorrow."

Kenny: "No la! It's Happy birthday right"

hahahahhahaha

*FACEPALM*

Chinese New Year Spirit is in the air! can u feel it?? I'm so happy cuz I'm in Malaysia during this festive season :D

Almost every KL-ian will be travelling back to their parent's hometowns these few days. The people of the big city is gona jam pack and flood the small lil old towns of Penang, Melaka, Johor, Ipoh, Seremban etc.

what we most dread is the journey back cuz there's definitely gona be a horrible terrible traffic jam! it's gona be an epicly long boring ride. imagine a 6 lane highways jam on the whole north-south highway, it is veryy crazy! besides, it's so stressful and annoying for the drivers.

family's plan is to drive down to Melaka Monday midnight. hopefully there'll be fewer cars then. Tuesday's traffic is gona be bad. all the last minute working ppl who needs to go back by Wed will all be travelling on Tuesday. DON'T TRAVEL ON TUESDAY. :)

drive safe people!

then soon enough, it'll be the big reunion dinner and chor yat!

恭喜发财，红包拿来！

Let's go yum cha

2011-01-29T04:37:00.015+10:30

In Malaysia it means this:

Instead of this:

Note to self: Cannot keep getting confused! I keep thinking, why are you askin me to eat siu mai and char siew pao at a time like this? Actually, it's just going out for a drink.

When I first went to Australia, it took me a while to get use to the term yum cha meaning to go eat dim sum.

Now to switch back the Malaysian lingo. yum cha - mamak time! something u'll think about when u have nothing to do/bored/hungry. call everyone up in the middle of the night and say "WANA GO YUM CHA NOW? onz mou? then takei after? lagi onz!"

similar to a late night maccas run, but heaps more happening. a lot of nocturnal young people. and then u meet everyone you know there! small world afterall, again.

A TRUELY MALAYSIAN CULTURE.

I DO LOVE SHOPPING

2011-01-26T22:40:00.015+10:30

so I'm quite the normal teenage girl after all :) phew

In Australia, I never seem to be bothered, have any desire to shop or go ballistic crazy over clothes/shoe sales like my other girlfriends, so I always thought that I was slightly different, less feminine, or like, domesticated =S

I would walk around the homewares section with my mom, look at pots and woks, electrical items; I used some of my DJ voucher to buy a mini bundt pan; I get ppl telling me I'm 'good wife material'. what. WIFE?! HAHA I'm no where near marriage.

anyway, maybe it just didn't seem so appealing back in Adelaide. but shopping in Malaysia is so exciting! different malls, different shops. ps. I love shoes! I think I just lost interest in food.

Also, I love cheap stuff. It's great if others can afford Prada bags, and walk in Jimmy Choo shoes. sorry I'm not as fortunate. I'm happy with what I can afford, and the variety we get in our range is so wide, especially stupid stuff from China.

Shopping centres are popping up everywhere like mushrooms after the rain, and expanding like the asian community in Adelaide.

Asia has so much to offer! :D

Muruku?

2011-01-23T21:01:00.028+10:30

My trip back here doesn't really feel like a holiday as much. Just seems like I'm spending a month in another home, with different surroundings.

I don't have a travel itinerary, nor a tour guide; I'm not visiting famous landmarks, or taking pictures of myself with beautiful sceneries as the background.

Right now, I'm just starting to adapt to the lifestyle here again. i think I can get use to it. but it's a whole new world! :]

i try not to think about it, but when I do, it makes my heart sad.

it's just not the same anymore.

and i miss you, Ng Zhi Qi :(

Nothing has really changed

2011-01-21T20:10:00.006+10:30

The neighbourhood hasn't changed much at all! just a couple of new developments, new restaurants, but the rest...the same old. even the lil individual random food stalls at the side of the roads are still at the exact location.

This house, we used to call it the Great Wall of China, cuz it has a long piece of land and a long wall. It was in that condition 3 years ago when I was back, and look at it now, not touched ever since. THIS COUNTRY IS NOT DEVELOPING :O

Went hang kai at Carrefour today. realised money is so small here. easily spent a hundred bucks and only got 2 lil plastic bag of things. I totally forgot about Pepsi Twist till i saw this. it's so good cuz it's pepsi with a slight lemon zing! how come we don't have it in Australia.

back tract a little to my 7 hour flight. seating position:

not much leg room but seats were pretty comfy!

as I watched us take off, and fly pass Glenelg jetty, I started missing the people in Adelaide and the lifestyle, all that late night/early morning fishing and crabbing, long car rides to the beach, they were pretty awesome. it's so urbanised here, all I see is buildings, and buildings under construction.

I will be eating out a lot for the next month, how convenient!! hawker stalls like these, I miss them. cheap and opened almost every hour of the day.

sun shade? that's handy!

Why is tonight cold when tmr is gonna be 36 deg?

2011-01-19T21:21:00.017+10:30

ok so maybe the last post wasnt exactly the very last post.

and i was totally keeediingg about the pretend bf xp *coughimmaturecough*

my room is in such a mess now as I was trying to decide what to bring back to wear.

tonight, I got to see some people for the very last time for the month. quite sad actually I'll miss everyone :( tho it was so last min, we manage to meet up for a short time, was basically to get things back from them. I'm so careless I leave my stuff everywhere i go.

had gelati at cocolat, hungry jacks, and frozen coke at the park. won't be getting those for a while.

bye for real now. my next post shall be all the way from Malaysia! :D

Cuti-cuti Malaysiaaaaa

2011-01-19T14:07:00.016+10:30

Last post from Adelaide before I leave to Malaysia. It has been 2 years!

but since last summer was AWE-SOME, there were no regrets not going back.

kinda excited, yet nervous to see the old faces again, especially the relatives...uh-oh! =S

"so got boyfriend d anot?" *typical msian accent*

bet your bottom dollar I'm gona get that asked A LOT. anyone wants to be my pretend-bf for the month? ._. you just need to allow me to have a pic of us in my wallet so that I can show people everytime anyone brings up this topic. cool mou? as long as you're asian, my grandma will love you to bits :D

and since im on this topic, i just wana say that pretend couples are so cute omg. like khuntoria, they're so sweet makes me cry, watching them on wgm ever since last year always makes my day :) pretty sure they do have feelings for each other now anyway, ahhh and it gets better!

anyway, I'm leaving in 24 hours. have not even packed yet =S loads of food stuff lying on the floor waiting to be put into those luggages. about 20 bags of Smith chips, 2 kg of nougats, tubs of fish oil capsules and some nutritional supplements, Macadamia nuts, chocolates etc.

wat bout clothes? let's just go naked and shop lots!

I think I would be able to survive with no radelaide for a month yea? and no one will be missing me, so i'll just...leave :(

woo sayonara amigos!! :D

Fail self-timer cam shot

2011-01-16T12:17:00.020+10:30

Hanging around the guys quite a bit lately, they even started calling me 'bro' already =/

Then one night out with these girls and I felt like such a shemale again :)

phew. I'm hen feminine de okay :p

Nhan's 21st was great! so many people, family members, so much food, overflowing alcohol, a good DJ, good party music! I'm sure he enjoyed his special day as much as everyone else did.

an epic 21st? his surely made the list!

these were only half the amount of ppl that were there.

birthday boy. he changed his shirt a million times that night. got sooo wet so quickly.

was walking back from the drinks table after getting Delphine some water, and got dragged into some random group of ppl taking a picture, I didnt even know who was in it until I saw this posted. thank God the picture had familiar faces - Thong and Kimang. those 2 in the middle, no idea.

was a good night for those girls too ;)

So that's how it feels when vtec kicks in

2011-01-16T11:06:00.016+10:30

extremely dangerous. going at 170km/hr for a bit. most unsafe ride ever.

very glad I'm still alive.

some might like the thrill, err I guess it was pretty cool experience, but I prefer safe drivers. don think I wana go through that again.

very last minute trip down there, but it was an enjoyable one! absolutely love Victor! driving along the same roads in town brought back memories.

the skate park we played at last time.

the road that leads to the house we stayed for our last trip.

Target - Victor Central, where we got our Nerf guns.

Woolworths, where we did our grocery shopping.

everything felt so nostalgic!

Anyway, this time, we manage to drive and walk up the bluff. Didn't get to do it the last time, everyone was tired and went home. Walking up there was pretty tiring i must say.

but the view was worth the hike!

In the house!

A Taboo moment

Word - Nutcracker

Chris: "Sang is..."

Everyone: "BLACK!"

*LAUGHS!*

Chris: "No no...peter and sang, peter and sang..."

Everyone: "GAY!"

*ROFLMAO*

(nutcracker was an inside joke)

so now, new fun memories with different people, at a different house.

eventhough I'm quite sad I couldn't be with them the whole trip, I'm happy enough I got to spent a day with them (well, two half days and a night).

lastly, cheers to the organiser Huy! a guy that supermans with and towel and a cricket stick, you know his trips would be interesting xD

Hush hush

2011-01-14T04:57:00.013+10:30

poker - started with 5 and a dealer, now there's 4 left. hardcore. adrian just came back from the atm cuz he needed to cash out more money.

sweet dreaming pplz.

2 very nice guys. the other day we went to eat pho and I forgot my wallet - fail. then these guys took out all the money they had to pay for my share too. how embarrassing on my end, but how kind of them! and then they dropped me home and I was gona get money to pay them back but they sped off. then later when i asked simon, he said pay le; asked le, he said pay simon...so yea. ok that just reminded me, i still owe them.

ppl say lil act of kindness can touch someone's heart. IT'S TRUE! maybe i'm overly sensitive, and they might not even care about the money, but that day, it did feel nice knowing that I had friends who cared and are so willing to help.

(late night rant, my bad)

cont': then there's me. wondering what to do online.

so I went on to stomp.com.sg. so singaporean. so informative. so nonsensical. so amusing. and watched some top videos linked from that site.

1. Korean hip hop group One Way talks about their relationship with Junsu from 2PM, who lent his vocals for their latest promotional single Rainy Days.

these people speak such good english.

2. Addressing rumours about S.H.E disbanding, Hebe is adamant saying that they will stay together.

I like her taiwanese sounding mando ^^

3. 48 hot girls in one group - AKB 48

they're jap, never knew they existed

4. Cleavage out, legs in? K-pop's obsession with long legs

hot

anyway, leaving to Malaysia in a week now. having mixed feelings about it.

I will surely miss the freedom and the causality like doing what i'm doing now. the events that are happening that I'm gonna miss out on. People.

I'm a bit too comfortable here maybe. but of course, it's home.

saying that, I'm also slightly excited about my holiday away! I always felt like 'escaping' the A-town whenever life gave me lemons. and the opportunity to do so is getting closer now.

gona leave all my troubled thoughts behind, have a good time back there and come back afresh. so for that one month, I'll enjoy myself, and take lotsa pictures :D

Melanie Boey obviously...

can't wait to see you x

I've been eating quite a lot of Vietnamese food lately so much so I had to stop and question my nationality.

having so much pho i think we made the cows cry.

yes really

reading the book UnderCover making me feel like a ninja. LIKE A NINJA.

entertaining guests so silly who make me laugh so hard the fats around my waist vanished into thin air then my shirt ripped to reveal the underlying abs then we saw 8 pecs!

YES REALLY!

...ORLYNAO :)

Worh Deeeeeep!

2011-01-10T23:49:00.004+10:30

Is it just us Malaysians or does everyone else abuse the Chilli at Dumpling King too!? :P IT'S SO GOOD RIGHT :P

Funny how it's a VERY ASIAN THING to eat dumplings, apparently. but I never really grew up eating dumplings. maybe it's just not a very malaysian thing to eat dumplings.

and why do they give such a big bowl of noodles at Dumpling King? IS FLOUR FREE LIKE SOLAR ENERGY?

anyway when I heard about chinese people here mass home making dumplings for chinese new year i was surprised. with our family, we do cook up a storm, just not all wrapped up.

all we usually did was bake cookies, make love letter biscuits, line up the great-wall-of-china-friggin'-long-line to buy 'bakgua' 肉干, buy crates or boxes of mandarins, soft drinks, beer etc...oh i love chinese new year! :D

I miss my cousins.

I feel like lychee.

I wanna be a kid again!

"I don't friend you!" was considered the biggest and main life problem, or maybe that was just the most threatening line kids can think of to say... anyway.

I'm not a teen anymore this year, and these kids are not even 5! playing and looking after them does bring back the youthfulness in me tho :P

I love talkative children - like this one. the things they say can be sooo amusing! u would be surprise to find out what's in those lil brain of theirs. they are not stupid!

but yea, i think they are the happiest ppl alive :D

sad face - I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. STUCK IN LIMBO! :O

D.I.Y

2011-01-07T23:38:00.008+10:30

spent the whole afternoon doing most things car related with Simon and Le.

i think i've said this a million times, but i'll say it again. guys are damn good at everything!! not even joking.

the vibe of manliness and the grin of satisfaction you see on their faces - win! xD gota say, i enjoyed it. the cars, the company or both, made it a good afternoon.

obviously i'm pretty clueless when it comes to cars and anything related, eventhough mom's family is into that business and all, and I pretty much...

grew up with uncles always having black dirty hands and fingernails.

had a full massive collection of toy cars, properly arranged on the shelf, some even in nice boxes.

spent days sitting in classy cars with cousins in the showroom just day dreaming.

been to every lion dance to officiate the start of business on the 4th day of cny at the showroom/workshop since i was little.

helped stock take car motor parts at least twice every year.

always got random free Castrol, BMW etc merchandises. extremely useful stuff i must say!

grandmother's birthday was always a major event of the company, and sitting on the family table felt slightly superior.

but yeah, never saw cars the way i see it now. and it's somewhat inspiring to see how some people take such good care and appreciate something you know...so responsible in a way.

I need to be more like that.

my life's pretty messed up. i continuously disappoint myself and ppl. i believe every kid goes through a rebellious phase, and mine was prolly the last half of the year. gota do a 360deg change starting from today. time to be more mature as I'm gona be turing 20 already =S

if I could summarise the situation right now, it would be - out of control. time to apologise, submit to my authorities and go back on track.

I see it now, how I'm slowly moving away from God, and everything goes a lil haywire. majorrrrr wake up call. i've learnt it the hard way =S

mom gave me a book to read today - Under Cover by John Bevere. hope it speaks to me.

2010 was bittersweet

2011-01-03T00:58:00.007+10:30

hello there 2011 :)

2010 was happening. but beneath the busyness and happyness, there were a few down times, maybe unseen (cuz I keep it in well), personal struggles, hurt and challenges.

guess I just have to learn from them, and try to be stronger this year.

but that said, I did enjoy myself.

am lookin forward to this year. let something good happen please, 2011 be kind to me.

note to self: gota learn how to prioritise what's really important.

Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony

2010-12-31T18:54:00.029+10:30

i don't play with music sheets these days anymore (had to put a book there to make the piano look good) should really get back into those classical crazy fingering pieces. so much practice needed for those songs tho eek ..cbb too lazy atm :p

bahaha ohdear someone shoot this poser xp

anyway, today is the last day of the year. the rather boring morning led to a recording.

didnt get many chances to record a better one cuz the sister hates listening to songs repetitively. guess we'll just have to do with this. u can hear mom microwaving some food in the kitchen too -.-" lol

have a good new years eve everybody! :D

and oh yea there's this song, i keep hearing it this last week. first from Melis, then in Simon's car, then at the potato twist shop, then randomly on my itunes etcetc. good song, it's like everywhere. so last night, i was fiddling around and this is what i got. from ear, wtv i rmbr. suppperrr RAWW! so yea only for you ppl who follow my blog to see hehe. if i'm in the mood for another video, i might learn the full song properly.

til then, this is basically how I sound like when i first learn a new song xp just a short clip

Good Day - IU

btw this is my Clavinova. It's been a while since I played on it already. it's actually a really fun piano, cuz there's so many functions to play around with!

anyway, let's finish off 2010 well tonight! see you all next year :D

Family day

2010-12-28T22:27:00.004+10:30

It was just in the last year or two that I couldn't imagine not going anywhere not together as a family - every trip, every holiday, every camp. even when we were 17-18, we were still closely stuck with our parents. I thought we'd never grow up.

I guess I eventually did, and that's when I started going out with my own friends, coming home late...not spending as much time with them as i used to before.

but today felt just like the old days. a full day with the family and some other family friends, cockling at Goolwa beach!

this attire isnt very beach friendly isnt it, wind cheater and jeans? o.O i did change later on...

we look quite happy huh :D

after lunch and the long drive back, the parents decided they wanted to go shopping because shops finally open today after the looong christmas break!

it was already 4pm or so, but shops closed at 9pm today woohoo we had plentyy of time

we were so under-dressed from the beach and shopping was so unplanned, we were hoping we didnt see anyone. thank god we didnt xp

dad gave us his card, and we already know his pin, so we did our own shopping for a bit.

i love how there's so much trust in the family.

My lovely blog readers

2010-12-28T02:36:00.006+10:30

you girls gave me what i really wanted/needed this christmas!

now I have 2! :)

thanks for stalking!! love yous long time ♥

Joy of Christmas

2010-12-28T01:34:00.008+10:30

...truly felt it today.

why do i care of those who obviously don't WHEN I HAVE THESE AMAZING FRIENDS!! :D

shall not have unhappy thoughts anymore. sometimes i do think too much and...become sad for no reason hehe lame.

anyway I was really genuinely happy after tonight. they all made my day(/week)!

I think I've said these a million times, but they are the BESTEST bunch of friends to hang with. they are hilarious, that's one thing, and non-judgemental, which makes me feel less self-concious and more loved :)

can't be anymore grateful than this.

see what I mean, you can't just look at this, and not laugh! xD

if you don't you definitely will when u find out what they did in those outfits. hahaha.

Mewi krismas evlibadi

2010-12-25T04:41:00.015+10:30

all the festive cheer, many busy days...

and a happy family picture :)

i should treat them better. and i will! i know, sometimes, i do take them for granted. but from now on, i'll strive to be the better daughter and sister. study hard, eat less and make you guys proud :D

love you, dad, mom, sis...buckets!

♥.

ps. i'm actually enjoying this Christmas a lot/ thanks relis, friends and all for making it special :)

"maybe things don't sound right, or look the way they should, and maybe they're not perfectly in tune, it really doesn't matter, lets keep our eyes above, cuz christmas is a time to love"

*edited: just deleted that whole paragraph or two of emoness heh. if u've read it. keep it to urself heh. i've just been slightly down lately...but i figured it's more of a personal thing so yea...or maybe its just pms xp

A play ground

2010-12-23T16:01:00.007+10:30

When was the last time you chased people around in circles in the playground, in the dark?

Sat on a see saw with 5 other people and talked, while going up and down?

Slept on the slides?

It's such goood fun!

maybe we're ageing, cuz I don't remember huffing and puffing, or stopping to catch our breaths back in the days. we were so full of energy!

last night was good cardio workout. chasey games such as chain tag and stuck in the mud are definitely not for the faint-hearted and are slightly accident prone - massive collisions, jumping down on each other from a meter high...:O but we're tough!

slightly nostalgic while we tried to rmbr the rules of the games, how we used to play it, setting game boundaries, and then getting into action.

and now that most of us are not in out 'teens' anymore. rules like "Don't play with fire" don't apply already.

BOOM BOOM POW!

homemade firework win! (Y)

A late night inspiration

2010-12-23T13:00:00.009+10:30

As we come to the end of the year, i thought we should look back and appreciate the many people that have impacted our lives throughout the year.

those that taught us to look at things differently,

those who made us laugh,

those who have given so much to us, not only in material things but also time, effort and friendship,

those who touched us with their simple acts of kindness,

also those who hurt us, cuz they made us stronger.

so on and so forth.

unnecessary as it may sound, if you come to think of it, life would be heaps uninteresing without all these different colourful characters!

so that was the whole aim of this box. but these kiddos were being a lil cheeky this christmas, and wrote "YOU'RE A FAG" and other really random things. oh i love them! everyone's got a really good sense of humour, i like funny people xD

it felt good, just sitting in the living room, passing the box around, reading out these notes written with so much 'love', and yea just soaking in the warm atmosphere.

that made my night!

♥

Carols at Paradise

2010-12-18T02:08:00.014+10:30

another outstanding performance that did not disappoint!!

O'Holy Night - I absolutely loved how they arranged this song :)

the whole event was amazing and so well done!

I can't believe how talented these people are! Makes me feel like a human recipe gone wrong =S no talent whatsoever. maybe I was made to make these people shine. if that's the case, all good.

anyway, they had jaw-dropping, heartwarming, and hair-standing singing voices. made me melt...

Witnessed amazing fireworks from the field. BEST VIEW EVER!

walked around the carnival later. these guys were so devo they were 'too old' to get on the REAL camel. they came up with this joke.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA made me laugh until can die!!!

All I Want for Christmas is...

2010-12-17T10:05:00.002+10:30

anything from Kikki K!! or even Smiggle

a necklace - feeling naked ever since i lost mine in Bali :(

btw how cute is this

heaps of stickerss! for craft and scrapbooking

a cupcake stand

...

I won't ask for much this Christmas, I don't even wish for snow...

for now ;)

you

For the love of Christmas and food

2010-12-14T13:22:00.009+10:30

with this group of people, we share the same passion! maybe also cuz we're Malaysians and we love to eat. I love getting them over cuz everyone gets so excited over food ^^

we're fat so what, don't judge! >)

these people came from dinner and after 5-6pieces of pizza each, they were still able to wallap the spread of sweets, multiple waffles and icecream. sho durh powderful.

I'm the youngest out of all of them. so they are more like my older siblings, some my leaders, and all my good friends! so blessed to know them :)

I'm also really thankful for random encouraging texts and emails from some of you once in a while, checking on me to see how I'm going etc. they really make my day, especially realising I'm loved *so touched* :'(

every one of them are really good role models i must say! I really admire their commitment and passion to serve in church with their talents, in the worship team, life group ministry etc. and all your BGrelationships are so sweeeeet ahhh! ♥ omg just realised all of you are actually attached, one engaged and getting married soon! :O except Hang and I hahahah. EVEN 17 YEAR OLD WEETYR HAS A ANGMO GIRLFRIEND whhhaaaat -.- teehee.

and Hang, I swear we were destined to meet each other. 6 years ago you were this unknown girlfriend, of a friend of mine, who made my best friend cry. COMPLICATED RIGHT xD but now, + Xian, we're such a threesome! and you're really attractive, according to my indian friend you met the other day ;)

and lastly, Yong Ling and Jay...

Adelaide is definitely gonna miss two of you jokers. ahhh you guys make us laugh all the time!

BYE D: and have a safe trip back to Malaysia woohoo!

Would you like that hot, medium, or mild?

2010-12-12T21:37:00.017+10:30

the one question I ask wayyy too much at work, but it's like, mandatory. so i can't help it. it just flows out the tip of my tongue everytime someone orders Mongolian steak, Chilli squid or anything spicy. I say it so much i think I can even spell the whole sentence backwards, while I'm sleeping! :O

haha, juuuust exaggerating :p

I used to be really intrigued by how chinese take aways worked in western countries, this was before I came to Australia. seemed pretty cool from what i watched in American movies, with all that noodle-in-boxes and fortune cookie things.

how come we don't get such cool take aways!

how come we don't get to sit on the couch, in front of the tv, slurping away our lard-laden hokkien mee out of a box!

whenever we tapao noodles, we get it wrap it up with plastic then a layer of newspaper, then rubber banded (low cost ftw). later on, unwrapping it is just oily and messy. BUUTTT YUMMY NEVERTHELESS! :P

anyway, after working in a chinese restaurant in Australia, i've realised, chinese take aways are really NOT that fancy. also, fortune cookies taste like milk powder biscuits and I tend to always spit out some bits of paper after biting into them.

where are the chopsticks and bowls you ask, or the chinese tea cups o.O

you know, I've never even said nihao ever to any customer. on the contrary, guess what is overused in my restaurant vocab: NO WORRIES! :)

i meet really interesting customers once in a while. there's this old man named Trevor who comes in almost every other day. everytime I serve him, he still asks for my name.

the other day, he told me he's been existence for 5000years, and that in his previous life, he was a farmer and a fisherman. haha made my day!

one day he came and ate garlic prawns, he said it was SO GOOD. he got us to take away his leftover 3 pcs of prawns and that last tbsp of rice cuz he wanted to let his friend try it. ewww!

another day, he bought a dog for 600bucks, brought it up to show us. and then, apparently he returned the dog and lost some money. *facepalm* today, he came in and showed us his new $30 made in China silver watch. he wore that on his right hand, but still had his gold watch on his left hand, so basically he was wearing two watches at the same time *double facepalm*

also today, he came in, and stole the salt&pepper shakers. whuurrtt -.-

WHY IS HE SO RANDOM??

anyway moving on, there was something different about work today, about 30 koreans came to dine in. and not even together. different tables. not anyhow related.

WHERE DID ALL THESE KOREAN PEOPLE COME FROM???

anyway, i like this job, no dramas. oh except for one tonight, where the kitchen ran out of steam rice for a while. it was GG.com! but other than that, heaps chilled (Y) and my aunt, she's such a blessing!

I is back cooking

2010-12-10T19:29:00.005+10:30

Crabbing last night was rather successful! caught about 20.

Fresh crabs eaten simply just by boiling/steaming is so good!

but mom asked me to cook a dish for dinner, and I knew what the family likes - KAM HEONG 金香 style :P

'heh bee' 虾米 is a must. lots of them ^^ plus lots of curry leaves too! love the smell of that!

super hot/spicy chilli, not for the faint-hearted. the more spicy the more cheegek mah right. "lagi pedas lagi bagus, masuk pedas, keluaaar pun pedas huahuahuahua" (ohdear i love that msia day ad!)

anyway, last but not least, the main star of the dish!

these dead crabs are still so deadly, dead -.- my fingers got cuts all over from cleaning them.

add the garlic into the oil, then the heh bee, curry leaves, chilli, curry powder, let them BURST! throw the crabs in and 炒炒炒！

...add the seasonings, 炒炒炒 !

dish up into the biggest plate you have, cuz those crabs think they are so cool they stick their claws out in the air, everywhere.

lay ur dining table with newspapers, junk mail, or brochures, like any other typical asian. have ur vegie dish all cooked too, and enjoy dinner.

this dinner was so satisfying mhhmm. was working every night in the restaurant last week and didnt get any home cook food :(

so i thoroughly loved this simple meal!

HO JIAK! :P

It's getting tiring

2010-12-10T09:07:00.010+10:30

I really can't afford to stay up late every other day or pull off another all nighter in the next few days or week.

...or even, catch another sunrise :(

b-b-but it's just so beautiful! makes me excited, so much so that i almost tripped and fell on the pile of bags this morning while I was goin to take a picture of the glorious light!!

but that's also cuz I'm a total clutz =/

ok, i dono which point stands stronger now...

My neighbour

2010-12-08T16:48:00.000+10:30

Over this fence lives a widower. He owns a rather big house, considering that he’s the only one who lives there. His car sits in the car porch most of the time, as he rarely leaves the house, only sometimes to the closest pub/hotel to have their $10 lunch specials, which is usually continued with some fun at the poker machines. He is out in the gardens in the evenings, spending quality time with his plants, the only other living creatures that live with him on that same block of land. He doesn’t talk much, and sometimes his shyness comes out as seeming a tad unfriendly. Don’t expect any response when you wave, smile or greet him, if you’re lucky you might get a blank stare, but that’s just about it; the other times, he’ll just ignore you and look away. Everyone has a life story, I wonder what his is…

Stand firm in what you believe

2010-12-08T03:08:00.021+10:30

After some dnms with old Msia friends tonight, I realised I'm a total noobcake. I can't be so ignorant anymore. Stuff like that do happen, nuff said. I mean it's not like I did not know anything about it at all, I was just slightly surprised by some of it (some of the people). even 5 years ago already, really? no wonder you changed schools... but hey i'm not judging, I know times have changed and these things are considered 'normal'. Jun reminded me "Ely, this is reality..."

All these years, our parents have been guarding and bringing us well. I'm very thankful. They say, it's always a blessing to have praying parents, mothers especially. must be true, can be scary sometimes tho, who knows what God speaks to them in their quiet time =S what's good is they were never the over-protective kind, we actually have a lot of freedom as girls woohoo. i guess they were more careful about guarding our minds, our thoughts and our hearts.

i love this verse:

"..whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent of praiseworthy, think about such things" Philippians 4:8

and it's not about being holy, it's just that there are values we try to keep to. may sound a bit cliche, like something most Christian girls would say, but i guess this is just more of a personal accountability between us and God.

i'm not bragging, you think it's easy??

but yea not like it's a set of rules we MUST live by, and with God's strength, we can still do it. I guess God just wants the best for us all the time, like any father would to his children. all we gota do is obey, and things will go well like what He promised.

mann this thing called Obedience - easier said than done. eventhough it's something so tough to live by, in the end, it is a highly rewarding virtue!

Sometimes you feel like just soaking in the beauty of nature

2010-12-06T20:12:00.004+10:30

and you wished the whole world stopped and stared for a while with you.

view from the hills and the jetty.

colours come alive at night! :)

Are you game enough?

2010-12-05T03:28:00.001+10:30

Life's more interesting when you have the right group of friends - impulsive people who are up for whatever!

random decisions in the wee hours of the morning to stay up and drive up the hills.

random calls late at night to go out to the beach and everyone comes along.

spot the orange dude night - sitting around a small screen laptop reliving JLo's taiwan trip was enjoyable. that is one funny guy. Simon and Le's jokes were high5-win-the-lols.

sitting in the car, to suddenly look at the clock and realise its 11:11pm. time to make a wish!

driving around woopwoop land picking ppl up. singing "Lips of an Angel" together so loudly in the car. listening to old school songs from an old school tape, all sang in 3 languages, some of us knowing the mando version, some recognizing the canto version, and everyone just lol-ing at the weird english version.

laying down on the sand and saw 2 shooting stars, while i also got some sand hair treatment by Zhen. hearing Kim from miles away, and the hilarious convo/screams between those 3 out in the dark waters.

Learning from Michelle that guys who drive Holden Commodores are douches.

Peter getting pulled over by the cops on Hanson Rd the first day he got his Ps. lucky him.

that night, Michael got a big catch!

look at ours haha FAIL. but now they're Kim's new pet crabs!

these nights were chilled, memorable and simple. somehow our fun episodes always happen at ungodly hours, we're just nocturnal like that!

All For Love

2010-12-05T00:32:00.009+10:30

All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

Hillsong United

one of my all time favourite songs in my books (Y)

reminds me of how gracious my God is.

TAKE OFF

2010-12-03T22:05:00.006+10:30

we've been on holidays for a week now!

it was today last week, when I was studying at a party. what durrh nerd! then to rush home in the middle of the night, which cost me a speeding fine of $300 T.T

what I read that night wasn't even of any help. I've realised, studying the night before any paper is pretty pointless. i rmbr, before the last pharmco test, I went out to eggless and maccas, stressing out for the paper the next day, and what for? really...i dono. nvr benefited me in attempting those questions, guess it made me feel less guilty that's all.

lesson learnt: Don't bother studying the night before an exam. or Don't bother going out thinking you should be studying when everyone else is having fun.

Stepping out of the exam hall on Saturday, I felt very happy! elated. ecstatic! everyone thought i was crazy or got some kind of heart attack, cuz I was giggling to myself as we were walking to the cars, and grinning from ear to ear ^________^

I WAS GLAD WE FINALLY GOT OUR LONG AWAITED HOLIDAYS OKAY GEEZ I'M NOT LIKE SOME CHEESIN POH OR ANYTHING xD

and Saturday night was pretty chilled (Y) Saturday felt like such a long day i dono why.

t'was a pretty epic week.

my 2nd time pulling an all nighter. and watching the sun-fail-rise.

morialta hike picnic fail cuz we were too lazy, ended up in the comfort of our own backyard.

Reena's white party where everyone looked really really pretty!

Eggless night out which was totally sweet as!

and it was really nice seeing everyone at uni today, eating, shopping together again.

Where do you like to seat(sit) :P

2010-11-13T01:43:00.009+10:30

when we were kids,

we bombed cars and fired missiles to cars coming towards us,

from the back seat.

we counted the rain drops that trickled down the window,

from the back seat.

we looked out to see jet planes fly across the sky,

from the back seat.

we could lay horizontally to sleep,

in the back seat.

then we grew up and got 'promoted' to sit in the front seat.

it felt great, realising that we don't get so car sick sitting in the front seat.

and that we could press a lot of buttons,

sitting in the front seat.

we had our own mirror to us,

in the front seat.

we could play with the clutch and hand break,

in the front seat.

we could open and close, and open and close the glove box,

in the front seat.

we had cup holders,

in the front seat.

we could push in and eject CDs,

in the front seat.

we could control the air-con,

in the front seat.

we could shuffle through radio channels,

in the front seat.

but then again, I realised I really don't mind sitting in the back seat.

i can listen to the conversations happening in front,

mind my own lil business at the back,

lean on the side of the car and rest,

all in the comfort of the back seat.

The Social Network

2010-11-11T15:38:00.001+10:30

Did you know if you created a facebook group and invited members, all of you can do a group chat, its pretty sick!

so we've been hanging out a lot these few days, not face-to-face, but wherever we are in front of our own computer.

it looks a bit like this:

we were on the topic of Zhen's new vlog entry. watch it, the prawn chip story is pretty funny!

mannnn i love us! (Y)

sometimes it gets confusing when Kim, Thong, Sang etc are on, everyone starts typing in Viet -.-

apparently The Social Network is a good movie, should check it out!

Why so anger?

2010-11-10T14:12:00.000+10:30

most of the time, everyone sees only one side of the story.

the side that is clear to them, the side they think is right, the side that makes the most sense to them, the side they hold their opinions strongly upon.

not everybody sees this same side.

so we end up quarrelling about things, cuz the logic from other side is totally unreasonable. and they'd think the same about ours too.

no one is gonna give in due to a thing called ego. man, female, young, old, we all have it.

and after all the hype and argument, we sit in silence. then sometimes deep down inside, we end up realising that maybe, the other side made some sense, juuust a teeny-weeny bit.......

I'm somewhat so proud cuz they're my friends :D

2 more years to go...persevere!

2010-11-05T07:08:00.011+10:30

I'm awake at 6.30am, ready to attend the last lecture of the year.

I can't even remember the last time I woke up so early! must be a good day :D

so 2nd year of Pharmacy is DONE. wow. *pats backside and leaves*

Made truckload of uni memories worth treasuring! We are learning to be creative with our sorts of fun, events after events, there was not one term or semester break where we were left sitting bored at home polishing out computer chair with our butts.

everyone says, uni days are the golden years. THEY ARE NOT LYING!

We have all changed this year. we're no more the goody-two-shoes first year hardworking students.

we officially started skipping lectures. we started aiming for Passes insteads of HDs. we encouraged each other to skip tutorials because "it's not gona be very helpful why bother going?"

academic wise, it wasn't a good change. however, other than that, it was an amazing transition into more social greatness.

HOLY MOLY 64 PHOTO ALBUMS! nuff said.

i believe everything that happened, happened for a reason, the bestest, or even the most unfortunate moments, and some were a beautiful disaster :]

but if only you knew

The One and Only...

BIG MAC!

BIG MAC BIG MAC BIG MAC BIG

MAC

well, i dono why I've never ever had a BigMac before. weird =S

I've always had this concept in my mind since young, that it was a ginormous burger which i couldn't handle. I think it's mainly due to those false advertisements i see. they tricked me all my life!

so i just realised, it is actually a not-that-big mac. i reckon a Whopper burger is bigger and makes me feels fuller.

but, I'm lovin' it! it has yummy sauce & pickles!

so yea. i had my first ever BigMac today, i just thought it was worth blogging about! that is all :P

A change for November

2010-11-01T01:16:00.019+10:30

happy stalking! but i'm not that interesting, really xD

I gots balls

2010-10-29T22:55:00.002+10:30

today, Chemist Warehouse had a promotion and i was sucked into playing a ball game. I fell in love with the red mini soccer ball. so i bought a pack of bandaids to get the ball.

along the way, my ball ALMOST DIED :O when i was bouncing it, and having so much fun, it dropped and rolled onto Grenfell St. I saw the traffic coming..and thought GG! there goes my ball :( i shut my eyes, crossed my fingers, and hoped no car would run over it.

well, the traffic light suddenly turned red!! phewww. major sigh of relief. and my ball rolls back to the side of the road.

I LOVE RED NOW MAN. SAVED MY RED BALL'S LIFE. RED IS TOO AWESOME. AND NOW I LOVE HOW MY SURNAME MEANS RED TOO. I FEEL SO PROUD TO BE AFFILIATED WITH RED.

sudden hype zzZZ

yeah anyway, so I brought my ball back to east library....rahrahrah...I came to a conclusion, we Asians do think alike!

here it goes.

so, with much excitement I showed everyone my new toy ^^

saw and showed Le first, the response i got was "IS IT FREE??"

then when the showed the others, they SAID THE SAME THING. everyone.

some shrugged to the fact that you had to buy the bandaids to then get the ball, and lost interest, but others like Thong thought it was a pretty good deal and was gona get it too.

so yes you can see that every Asian wanted to know whether the ball was free. I love how typical we are :)

well, then I showed Adrian later - the half asian. slightly diff response, cuz i got another question b4 the usual - "WHERE DID YOU STEAL IT FROM?" hahahahaha where did that come from! but nice one xD

anyway in the end, almost every guy decided to get the ball too. yay we gona have such a ball with all the balls! saying that, we did get told off in the library for playing with it =S

and once again, I'm the only girl who has a ball now, same story with the nerf guns. can't help it, i love buying all these mouliu yeh. they're so much fun :D
