Wedding dinner @ Mother's Day *10.05.09*

I was overjoyed actually when How2 invited me to his sister's wedding dinner. I have never actually attended one before.. until NOW~!! (>v<) *super excited*

Hehe.. After long pondering hard-making decision moments, I decided to put on an evening skirt rather than a black dull night dress. Even daring enough to put on green eyeshadow to go with the skirt. Kawaii desu?

Two handsome gentlemen. To me, they don't actually share resemblance from their looks being brothers. But those smiles are truly dashing. *Thumbs up*She's a darling, as cute as an angel. I like her personality right from the start; she speaks her mind. Perhaps things got complicated in the real world, being adults, we hardly do that anymore. ^^ Yay yay~ A picture taken with the bride herself. Lurve her make-up and her pearl white dress. Say cheese everyone!!

And yes... definitely not forgetting How2.

(My bro says he look kinda "yum" in this picture.. XD I think otherwise)I'll leave my post to that at the moment being..*yawn* will continue with the details once I get my hands on the rest of the photos. Stay tuned~!

I walked away and heard the sound

The sound of my own heartbeat

My Heart is beating all alone now

I found out

I'm not the one you're looking for

I'm not the one you wait for

It's not easy to look away

You don't see me

But I knew all along

You're all I need

I held out my empty hand

And I touched the gentle wind

I know I'll forget this all someday

But till this feeling is gone

I do think of you

down to every minute, every second

Goodbye

Is never what I meant

When there's so much more to say

I wish you'd call my name

And take my hand

But again,

My heart will break again

Every time I confide my heart's content

It's because I'm no longer

the one you're missing

I love you

2009-02-03T04:12:00.000-08:00

Reminiscence

First kiss. Last stroll together around campus. Vows not to never leave one another behind.

Contradiction

I'm suppose to wait. Happily waiting.

Confession

I miss you so very much. I'm still blindly in love with you.

Guy - Let's Chill

Sweetheart, I’ve been tryin’ so hard to get over you

Just simply can’t

‘Cause the love we shared through the year

Meant so much to me

All I’m lookin’ for is just a serious relationship

Someone I can hold all my life

Why don’t you give me that commitment

Let’s settle down

Let’s chill

Don’t be afraid me

I’m the one that is scared

But I promise everything will be alright

Come closer

Let me talk to you

Let’s chill

From the first time I saw your face

Boy, I knew I had to have you

I wanted to wrap you with my warm embrace

Visions of your lovely face

All my love is for you

Whatever you want I will do

You’re the only one I want in my life

For you I’ll make that sacrifice, ho

Let’s chill

Let’s settle down (That’s what I want)

That’s what I wanna do (Just me and you)

Just me and you

I’m so happy to have you here

Standing right by my side

Is it a dream or reality

If it’s a fantasy, please don’t wake me

All my love is for you

Whatever you want I will do

You’re the only one I want in my life

For you I’ll make that sacrifice, so baby, let’s

Let’s chill (Let’s chill)

Let’s settle down (Settle down, baby)

That’s what I wanna do (That’s all I want to do)

Just me and you (Ho)

Come here, baby

Come lay next to me

Let’s forget about the past and think about the future

Let’s get together

Let’s stay together

Forever and ever

Ever and ever

Ever and ever

Always

A song that I hope you and I will share when our paths converge once more.

Fall For You

-Secondhand Serenade

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting

Could it be that we have been this way before

I know you don't think that I am trying

I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

Over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended

I always swore to you I'd never fall apart

You always thought that I was stronger

I may have failed

But I have loved you from the start

Oohhh...

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

Over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

It's impossible

So breathe in so deep

Breathe me in

I'm yours to keep

And hold onto your words

'Cause talk is cheap

And remember me tonight

When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

Over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

Over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find

I wish one would sing me to sleep

this song that would fill my heart

with warmth and love that I too

shall have for him in return

for the rest of the days

that we both shall share

2008-09-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

Dear diary,

This week had been dreadful. The minutes, hours and days crawled by as though it had been years. I know he feels it too, which is why I look forward to every night when we skype. 10:30pm. Time ticked even painfully slower. But even if I have to wait for him... I'd do that.

I understand things aren't easy for him, feeling stressed and tense. I couldn't help much but be a listener. Yet sometimes, I feel like a sandbag to throw tantrums onto. He seems to get hot tempered and angry instantly, either because of something I did wrong or something done unintentionally. I really didn't mean to do those things to anger him.

Even if I have, I am confused. Shall I sms or call?

If I do, would he think of me as a nuisance? I don't know.

If I don't.. Yes, he would.. think of me not putting any effort at all.

I really am trying very hard, to do my best.

I thought being in a relationship is sweet. I hear that a true boyfriend wouldn't make his girl cry. But I never cried this much before. Unaware to him, it's a serious matter. He says that everything that happened between us will bind our hearts closer. Instead, I feel that they are actually telling us that we are different. We are both just too afraid to admit it.

Dear diary, can I still go to him?when I am crying because of him.

Can I still confide to him? when he's one of my sorrows.

Can I still be tolerate with him? when he doesn't think of me. of what I feel.

Is he still the one? As he claims, loving me more than I love him.

I don't know anymore.

My first job interview

All the weeks of job hunting, Finally !! I've got a job interview. With BB's help, we found the place easily on Sunday. A bit of hectic moment getting all the documents together. Hehe.

Look a wee bit blur with glasses on

(Woke up too early this morning. XD)

That's the best shot I can manage.

Didn't spent much time picking out my outfit for the day. But with this whole suite of grey, first poured cats and dogs, wonder if it'll signify that the interview wouldn't turn out good in the end.

Who knows? I gave it my best shot. I leave it to the company itself to decide.

2008-08-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

Enough said..

You're right. I can't stand up to what I should fight for, what I think is best for myself. I'm acting like a 2-year-old. Better reason for you to be upset and disappointed with me. Again. Top up with being nuisance-ly inconsiderate when you pour your care towards me. I'm sorry for what happened on 08.08.08 and also the days before that.

I admit! Being the stubborn, naive and indecisive one.

Even when everyone in the world doubts me, you're the only one I can count on. I would want you to be there, maybe telling me that everything's going to be okay. Not joining in and tell me I'm wrong.

You're the sole person I'd confide to. But it appears that I'm ever so wrong. Maybe it's best I keep everything to myself from now on, as with you to not care anymore.

I'm shutting my heart. From you. From everyone possibly.

2008-07-26T05:52:00.000-07:00

Home Sweet Home!

This blog post was supposed to be published a month ago.. Well, long story.. and I don't quite want to go into much of the details. Here's a brief overview:

Where's the directory?We need directions to get to the car *Hurry up! My feet's killing me*

It really felt great to be back. Nice comfy bed and best yet.. I can be mummy's little girl again. On the other hand, I miss studies already. Not a good idea to travel with large amount of cash with you. Tired of the 8-hours-flight, especially having the aisle seat and had to painstakingly get up since the passenger beside needs a leak every once in a while. Go easy on the beverages, will ya? Sheesh!

Had a really really enjoyable time on my birthday this year. Astonishedly, it was held at GreenBox Sogo.. Thanks a lot to Fei Yih, Sasha, Yen Yung, Siew Fong, Ying Yee, Wai Wah, Tze Yang, Lee Teng, Jade Tao and the others who came. Initially a surprise party until boy boy decided to come clean with me and spill the beans about the surprise. I did make a fuss over it and threw my tantrum on him. At this point, I'd like to apologize to him for everything I've done. Boy boy, thank you very much for planning the party for me and for the marble cheese cake. Sorry you had to put up with my mean pettiness.

Thank you so much bb (p/s: I Lurve You)

On the morning of my birthday, I got an unexpected 'present'. I got registered post informing me that I need to serve the national service and to report at camp when the week is out. I was dumbfounded and speechless. I wasn't ready for all this yet; having to leave my family and especially boy boy just when I dreaded to spend more time with them. What's the point of complaining, blame it on my dumb luck! Luckily for me, boy boy was familiar with the area and accompanied me in search of the location, not to mention through the medical checkups as well. I really appreciate it bb! I would be utterly devastated if it weren't for you. Mwaxx~

BB: I bet you'd become charcoal black piggy after 2 months

GG: Fret not! I have my trusty sunblock.

Don't even think of dumping me using that reason.

BB: Haha XD.. I won't

The bridge leading to the girls' dormitory

(BB: If boys try to trespass, they will cut the bridge. )

(GG: *Bewildered* Serious?!)

The corridor outside our dorm. Sheer serenity.

Interior. It looks clean, doesn't it?

(Looks can be deceiving)

Mum, bro and boy boy fetched me there the afternoon on 6 July Sunday and left late in the evening. I know they were worried about me so I acted casual to lessen their worries. Nonetheless, I missed them terribly already on the very first night.

In a nutshell, the schedule laid out for the day starts with:

5am Rise and shine

6 March out to the open for flag-raising ceremony & Marching

7:30 Early breakfast

8 Assemble and get ready for class

10:30 Elevenses then continue class

12:3opm Lunch then sport activities

2:30 Beverage refreshments provided then continue activities

4:30 Afternoon tea

6:30 Dinner

10:30 Supper

11 Turn in

I only had a 2-day experience living in camp following the full-day schedule, so basically what I learned was that the early bird gets the worm and that you can accomplish a lot if you had planned the day carefully. The most annoying drawback to the whole camp schedule is that they need to assemble everyone for at least 4-5times to check for decampment and use up a painstakingly long time at it. Is it that hard to have head counts for 190 people?

Following 2 days, my parents fetched me back from camp as I was not suited for any of the strenuous exercise. The funny thing to note was that most of the staffs there know me and especially boy boy as he really cared for me all the while I was in camp. He brought the necessary stuff that I needed as soon as he possibly can and helped keep in touch with my mum.

Boy boy. Thanks a lot for everything!!

Silver Lining At This Time of Melancholy

A week to go before the first paper of the last semester hit. Depressing really, to spare a thought pondering the chances that you'd never be stuffing your head in books..literally..ever again.. Ironically, it pains to obligately have to strive through the next two weeks. Indeed reluctant, yet can't wait to get it done and over with.

All the while cramping bundles of information into that puny brain of mine, a peculiar thought flashed through, as if an oasis had appeared out of nowhere, amidst a despairing spread of wilderness. Just when all hopes had depleted, this unforeseen occurrence has made its way and lifted spirits. You'd never have guessed what rendered me the hoist to pursue further.

I can't help it.. being too good-looking even in photos...Peace bro..

P - I - G - G - Y.

A piggy who gropes around the bed in the middle of the night to find my hand and hold it tight to his chest.

A piggy who never lets go of my hand off his chest even if I try to squirm away to get some blood flow back into my numb body.

A piggy with an instant split mood, from amusing to maddening, at the slightest situation that often left me pondering what has gone wrong, then wake up after a nap to tell me he still loves me no matter what.

A piggy who knows the precise moment when he'd ought to be there for me, for everything, even for the most trivial matter, concerning me. To treat my problems as though they were his, backing me up instead of backing away himself.

A piggy with a deep passionate kiss, which takes my breath away though a clumsy attempt at it; Nevertheless, an evident proof of how deep his affections towards me.

A piggy who catches me off-guard and surprises me with a side of him that I've never known, day by day..a little bit of him is adequate to retain the sparks.

Sometimes I might be ascertain that I know him inside out; but one thing's for sure, I wouldn't affirm that I have captured the essence of this piggy for who he truly is.

P/S: To this lucky piggy of mine, of whom I'm missing badly right this moment and for sure the days-to-come

I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH

2008-05-28T19:31:00.000-07:00

A Good Start !

I didn't have much of a peaceful sleep this morning due to the intense abdominal pain. I was practically playing a larva/pupa all curled up in its cocoon.. except I won't be maturing into a butterfly. (BB: Into a PIG! ^(oo)^ Oink!) The pain hasn't gone away still..

An email came in from MinJie mentioning that the grades for the Animal Physiology essay was up on Blackboard. Without haste, I clicked into the site to check. *Fingers-crossed*

Well, how do I fare? Take a peep.

Ta-daa~!!!!!!!!!

BB... Did I make you proud?

The Worst Nightmare EVER!

Of all the nightmares I had in Newbie - other than those bizarre ones of terrorists, this nightmare that I had this morning has to be Top 1 on the most daunting list! Although not to the extent of waking up in cold sweats, I trembled with fear and teared throughout the night.

It went like this:

The other girls and I were having a relaxing time and for some reason we ended up staying overnight at a secluded area. From the japanese bath robes that we were wearing, I presume that we had just came out from the hot spring and heading towards the hall for a scrumptious dinner. By scrumptious, I mean really mouth-watering just looking through the menu and don't know whichever to decide on. After prolonged indecision, I placed my order and plan to join the others in their chit-chat. That was when the climax of the dream began.

Out of a sudden, everything turned pitch black as though the lights went off due to electricity shortage. But something was seriously amiss! There's no usual commotion from the crowd that were already eating there. A dead silence overwhelmed as though we're in a vacuum space. I tried to call out to the girls sitting at the same table as I was, but no reply was rendered. I groped in utter darkness trying to feel the person sitting next to me. I was so relieved at the touch of her skin and so I wriggled her limb a little (Couldn't make out whether hand or leg). Shockingly, her limb fell back as if it was an immobile limb of a dead corpse and I can't feel any temperature from it either.

The next thing I know, someone (or something) had laid its weight on me, rendering me completely still no matter how hard I struggled. There, in the darkness, I could make out some movements and the outline of a figure crawling towards me...Nearer and nearer it got, slowly picking up speed till finally it reached the table that I was sitting. This happened so fast that the next thing which ensued at that instant was having glimpsed its bloodshot eyes and sharp fangs sinking into my flesh, devouring me alive.

I SCREAMED...............................!!!!!

***********************************************************************************************

I woke up with a fright, with my comforter tugging around me and the only light source from my laptop screen and the toilet light. I shuddered at the thought that if everything were to be in absolute pitch black and that I'd be trap in this nightmare for even a second longer.

I terribly wished that I could skype boy boy to tell him. However since we talked on the phone till late at night, I don't want him to get restless sleep. Not from me. Besides, I won't want to worry him more than he already is. I typed him a message but no matter how much I wish for him to comfort me, I still am reluctant to send it. So, I deleted the message.

I still felt the fear of being helplessly fiddling inside as I recount this now.. Any single sound or movement sets me alarmed and shocked.

S-O-S!... Help....! Anyone...

*sobs*

2008-05-20T00:04:00.000-07:00

S-T-O-P ! !

Lately, I've been having endless rounds of inner self struggle; so I've decided to pour out all my thoughts and temporarily lay them here till I completed my finals. Frankly, it's a difficult post to even begin with...

I'm truly happy that we had the conversation yesterday night that I finally get to know what you've been worrying, you're thinking, and your plans for the future. Of course, it's natural that no one can easily accept the special situation of yours. I, too, dream of a fairy tale like everyone else - having a simple normal happy life with the someone that I love till the end of time.. Living life without having to worry about tomorrow. Although dreams can often be too good to be true, I truly meant what I've said to you. However some things are easier said than done, which is why I have doubts whether I can be able to handle having a life with you. Most importantly, if someone were to ask me, "Can you accept it?".. "Am I willing to face problems encountered in the future? ".. I have not the determination to utter a definite answer, which proves that I am still hesitant. I don't want the worst case to happen, that I promise to be with you out of sympathy more than love. The other troubling thought would be...Will we be able to cope with our own family situation and bear responsibilities being the eldest? Can we even manage to start our own family in the future?

I'd truly wish to share all these thoughts with you. But everytime I tried, they end up all hidden inside. I know the thing you want most is for us to be truthful to each other. Maybe I'm used to keeping thoughts to myself. Maybe I don't want to increase your burden when there's already an intense one weighing on your shoulders.

All right, they're all out! BE GONE for a while!

Back to my studies!

2008-04-24T01:15:00.000-07:00

Had I been wrong?

I know you're mad

You say I don't take you seriously

Well perhaps

You hadn't the slightest idea that

What you've said

really shattered my heart

so that's what I get for going out

I truly am sorry

for your heart ache

2008-04-14T11:43:00.000-07:00

So. This is how it feels.

To miss someone.

2008-04-11T06:55:00.000-07:00

Done! and Over with!!

Semester break. Here I come!

Side Effects

Guess that's the punishment for being rebellious. Sleeping 'early' I mean.

I slept again at 5am in the morning and for some reason woke up around 7:45am. Sweet~! Dearie will be up soon, so I waited... and planned what to have for breaky later.

*Rissole?...Hmm... Cereal?...Hmm... Biscuits?...* Till I dozed off.

That was when the nightmare came in. I remember only bits and fragments of it now, but it all started with dearie reprimanding me for some reason and then I went home to find more scolding from my dad. At the end of it all, I was crying really hard..

I wasn't sure when I actually realized that it's a dream. Well, let's say I cried till I finally woke up with a wet pillow. Cried even more till dearie's sms came in. Sorry dearie~ I don't wish to tell in the morning because I don't want to start your day just worrying about me. Couldn't stop even when chatting, so I hid it from you. Only when you turned away I'd be able to wipe my tears.

Don't worry. Was fine after an early shower and simple breakfast. Hehe..

2008-03-30T12:48:00.000-07:00

Not Sleeping..

I can hear my mum's nagging now. For not sleeping when I'm supposed to. Rebellious, I tell you.

Been watching Iguana no Musume. A Japanese drama that my sis and I were quite fond of. Sure brings back memories.

Been thinking of what to get for hubby's car. Was so excited about it, yet don't know what to get him.(Erm.His car. Hehe.)So I googled and found these.

Cute, aren't they? But then I got another surprise.

Lurve them. Simple & Nice.

Brainstorming. Lightbulb. Eureka!

Plotting an evil scheme. Will take some time. Surprise him. (Erm. Or his car.)

Sure hope he will love it.

Yet there are more to come

Even if there's no resort

I will never succumb

the windy day turned sunny

**** **** **** **** ****

Sorry mummy

Cooked rice yet

Guess I have to

save more money

Cos' I ain't

getting weighty

Will lose our bet

But at least you're happy!!

I have so much to tell you

yet do not know where to start

So many things to think through

I still have you in my heart

Hope love hasn't blinded me to

not tell true feelings apart

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Oh I am so confused on what to do

I really do ...

爱的路上只有我和你

不知道什么时候

开始喜欢这里

每个夜里都会来这里看你

你长得这么美丽

叫我不能不看你

看不到你我就迷失了自己

有时候你很调皮

总是让我着急

一颗心总是为你跳不停

只要一闭上眼睛

总有千百万个你

你的影子装满我的脑海里

不能够不想你

也不能够忘记你

总是在梦里一直看到你

多想对你说句

我是真的爱你

对我的心不要再怀疑

好想牵你的手

走过风风雨雨

有什么困难我都陪着你

直到天长地久

直到天荒地老

爱的路上只有我和你

19 March 2008, Cloudy

It has been a miserable day to begin with. Perhaps I should lay off the late hour study and turn in early. Ended up with a crappy brain and a split headache at 5am in the morning. For some reason, I was anticipating that he might wake up sooner or later and so I left the laptop on and waited, involuntarily checking for his message every now and then. Doubt that I actually slept but was somehow relieved when I finally saw his reply. Yet it was already time for him to leave for work, so I urged him to get ready and didn’t trouble him for too long. *sobs* Guess I really wanted to talk to him back then.

And so I struggled to sleep with the splitting headache before it was finally time for lecture. Lecture turned out pleasant at first with Shaun’s usual cheery tone and scribbly doodles of Drosophilia and mouse until the part with the promoters being superlatively confusing.

“Type III Class I and II are classical promoters. Type III Class III promoter is a non-typical Class III but equivalent to Class II……Type II…Type III…Class I..Class II….*&^%$#@!”

Seriously, I lost track! Think my headache worsened, or maybe my brain just went haywire and short-circuited. On top of that, there have been different viewpoints on one’s peculiar behavior. As a matter of fact, it’s as though I don’t really know that someone anymore. After all this while .. Having decided to get the nightmare over with, I did the microbiology quiz. Phew! Glad that was over, though I had to search frantically for the answers.

The next thing I did was crawling into bed and unwind from the consecutive restless nights. Had weary eyes yet couldn’t sleep. Efforts of tucking my pillows didn’t help neither did tossing and turning. Holding back the tears certainly was to no avail as they came pouring in. It’s astounding how abruptly my emotions plummeted these days. The slightest familiar thought and/or object is capable of inducing uttermost despair.

Shaking under the blanket, ironically not because of the cold but due to the helplessness suffocating within. I desperately wanted someone to be beside me. Any gesture to give me warmth and confidence that I have depleted of - a hug or maybe a firm grip. Sadly, I reached out my hand and grasped nothing. As I shut my eyes, I hoped that somehow I magically appear in my own bedroom. Of course that’s quite impossible.

Perhaps as what you say, I need to give my mum a ring and see how she’s doing. Inevitably, her voice could cheer me up a bit, but her anxiety and stress would worry me more. Chatting with friends might do the trick, yet there is no one I could really confide to available at that time. I know I am making a fuss over trifles but do pardon me for doing so. Mum has been right about me being the frail-hearted one.

The afternoon and evening I spent were occupied with more tear-shedding moments, even in the showers. Had the feeling somehow he’s going to be late from work today and truly so. Anyway, bet he’s got loads to tell me and I’ll be at all ears. Won’t be a miserable day after all.. I guess

12 March 2008

Hasn't been a sunny day for me though ironically the weather's looking fine; Yet the night's as cold as ice though it's practically not freezing either. This boils down to the fact that - I'm missing HIM again. Having picked the wrong movie to watch, my inner self crumbled once more.

The plot is about a widowed woman who was able to see ghosts after a suicidal attempt and there's this particular ghost who has been troubling her ever since. But what unfolds is an interesting twist to the plot, which makes for a touching supernatural romance. This ghost had been the woman's deceased husband but in the form of a stranger and she only discovered the truth after seeing that he has reincarnated.

It's really sad and utterly painful to be separated from your loved ones by the boundaries of the living and the afterlife. Frankly, there was a time when I was young that I've feared death more than ever, hardly being able to sleep nor eat. Ridiculously funny right? I know. Which is crucially the reason why we need to really treasure and cherish the company of our loved ones while we still can.

Another plot of the movie left me pondering. I know people around (even my family) would say that I have not known this person for long yet how could I love HIM this much? Well, I do not know for sure at first, but somehow my heart's telling me now that I have made the right choice. For once in my life, I am positively sure that I will have no regrets. Even when the whole world happens to doubt you, you can't escape from what's inside - your true feelings.

Feeling awkwardly emotional at the end of the movie, roomie happened to pass me a document of HIS, that sent me tearing instantly. I don't want him to worry so I will try my very best! To finish this last semester. To make him proud. To hug him tight the next time we meet.

Waiting

Waiting ...

Since the crack of dawn

Three hours ...

ticked away slowly

I wonder

when will he wake up

I wonder

if it will be soon

But I know

What I will feel

OVERJOYED

2008-03-08T15:17:00.000-08:00

Wake up! Wake up!

What more can I say.

12 hours of sleep did me some good.

Left me lying on my bed. Thinking.

I might be tired. Might be exhausted.

It's hard to say ...

Or rather. Been living in dreams.

In fact. Maybe I dread to wake up.

As I know with my eyelids ajar.

My fantasies would instantly

melt away...

All I see. A messy workdesk.

A disordered heart.

A red shirt with a faint of him

of which I cling onto. Every night.

I know he will not be there.

Neither shall he be the day after.

I can hear my inner self calling.

Get a grip girl!!

I am losing it. Losing all senses.

Not knowing who I am. Was.

Had been. Or will be.

When will I wake up?

When ......?

IF WE LEARN

If we learn with patience

If we pay attention

We will gain a lot in every lesson

Making a miracle

to succeed in our future

To learn

how to be a better person

If we face any problem

just think of our parents

This love,

will make us even stronger

Making a difference,

to prove to them

who love and care for us

that we too, care for them

***********************************

Got this from Soh Zhu's blog post. I will always keep that in mind!!
Never stop learning, never stop believing and ultimately never stop LOVING!!!

Youth Speak UP!!

Youth for Change (Y4C) operates with the mission to empower youth to get involved in contemporary political issues and actively exchange ideas regarding our country's political agenda so as to ultimately shape a conducive political environment (Maybe a better future?).

Frankly, I don't really get motivated to get involved in this kind of stuff; However, this organization does seem interesting. Take a look at the political video clips that they launched recently (28Feb08) in conjunction with the general election. I find them intriguingly interesting and rightly so. (Personally, I love the last one.. XD)

Random Rambles

*Cough cough* It's been ages since my last blog post, and the place's filthy with dust particles and cobwebs. Might need some "spring cleaning" from now on.. ^w^

Alright then.. Ironically upon commencement of the summer holidays, I've been looking forward to come back to Aust yet things have changed now. I dread to go back. It's only been the second week of the semester and I have already felt the pressure and stress pouring in. Fear of maybe overlooking the due dates of assessments and end up with late submissions, not being able to concentrate and flunking everything at the end of the semester etc etc. The first few days following his absence had been appallingly horrendous accompanied by isomnia and angst. I'd say I've practically lost the purpose of living back then. We're separated even further now by geological distance, time zone and pursuit, but I hold strong faith in believing he is right beside me at all times. To hear me out. To cheer me on. To back me up. And most importantly, to love me evermore! (Is that right, soh zhu zhu?)

If mum's here, I'd be nagged to death for staying up late every night. Keep it a secret for me k? I don't want her to worry. It's not easy being the eldest.

An interesting short article came across @ Yahoo! Think might shed some light for the guys.. Enjoy!

5 Things you should NEVER say to Her

By Sarah Miller

Women freak out. Often at you. Often for no discernible reason.

You say something that you consider totally innocuous, or even downright nice, only to find that you've offended, enraged, or annoyed us. But here's a problem you can solve: word choice.

You need to know the phrases that, once introduced to her volatile atmosphere, will result in explosion (or quiet contempt—no picnic either). Then you need to strike them from your vocabulary.

Warning: Some of these absolute no-no words and phrases seem so incredibly harmless, you may think we're kidding. We're not.

FORBIDDEN PHRASES

"Relax"
"I love you" (During a fight)
"It's up to you"
"You knew I was this way.."
"[Nothing]"

MAGIC WORDS

"Just tell me everything"
"You are just so beautiful"
"Sorry. It was my fault"

Day 4

Hmm. Nothing happen much today. We went to have the usual chicken rice ball nearby and surprisingly I managed to finish three big ones when previously I only managed two. Embarking the route to obesity.. Maybe soh lou's dream would come true..(Hmm..how ugly I would look like when I'm fat?) Then went Bugis. Sien right? We could go shop at the same street for dozen of times. Bought 2 dresses, at a really ridiculous price, obviously we failed to count in the currency exchange rate. Mum was of course f-u-r-i-o-u-s! I was put to blame for wanting to buy the second dress, which is in a striking blue. All in all, the day didn't end good. Ended up hearing what mum told sis when they thought I fell asleep.

"Ur big sister has always been a failure in picking out her own wardrobe apparel, I wonder if she sucks at selecting her boyfriend as well..."

Ouch~ That hurts! A lot! T.T

Day 5

Woke up around 10am to find that soh lou has already sent me a sms and on top of it all, actually woke up EARLIER than me~!!! The next I know, my sore throat was worse than yesterday. I couldn't speak, and the others thought I was all moody from missing the special someone too much. OkOk..maybe a bit.. (^v^).. What's worse than having a sore throat? To have to finish up the curry chicken and fried mee hoon from yesterday and then go for spicy black peppered bak kut teh for brunch (alhough I have always loved their soup). Next, went to Bugis to get the dress exchanged. The usual crowd of tenagers there, plus the middle-aged.. Haji wat~ Spotted a cute T-shirt that soh lou and I could wear on valentine's - Spongebob's face. Muahaha.. Kidding! Soh lou wouldn't put on anything pink (ooi.. thought one of your earring was pink), so this is definitely out of the question. Then shopped a lil at OG. Then mum went to the bank only to find that it's closed. Haji wat~.. obviously she has forgotten that! Haha.

Once reached home, bro has only managed to connect to the internet but I noticed soh lou was on the line. So I snatched the laptop from them (Well actually, I pleaded hard for them to let me use for a moment). Soh lou wasn't able to get the on-campus accommodation and was obviously quite disappointed and frustrated about it. Don't know how to cheer him up, the only thing to do was to keep him company. Talk crap! Be cheeky! Make him laugh! Don't worry. I will pester you and thrash up your place for you. You just need to do the cleaning. But before that, hopefully I can push you to study! Then it's PIGGY time till 7pm while I blogged and waited..

2007-12-17T19:28:00.000-08:00

~ S*I*N*G*A*P*O*R*E ~

Day 1

Went to Bugis Junction. To meet up with Chee Ho and Kien Ooi. Then we went yum cha and chatted for hours. Well, literally those doing most of the talking were Chee Ho and my darling sis whilst Kien Ooi and I sat there keeping mum. Chee Ho was such a sweet talker and kept giving me "misleading" signals. If I were to not have gong ter right now.... Who knows... ? #Pictures come later# Sis then walked around deciding what to buy for Ben (No thanks to the big help by CH) and I tagged behind. Then dinner at Terra, loathe cheesy western food..

Day 2

Unintentionally talked back to mum today. Shouldn't have, but couldn't hold it back at that instant. Went for Alvin and the Chipmunks movie at The Cathay. Cute chipmunks! Lurve their fury lil songs! Can't help imagining gong ter would sound like that since he has sore throat. Somemore with his goofy laugh~ *cheeky*. But ended up dozing off towards the end of the movie, that boils down to insufficient sleep since Day 1 maybe (Aunt say I look exhausted). Felt awkward all throughout the movie. The seats? Nope. The air-conditioning? Nope. Obviously, it's without gong ter!! I laughed a minute too soon - I have a sore throat! Caramel popcorn's the evil culprit. Then top it up with it's tom yam noodles for dinner somemore.

Day 3

Had a dream last night. Dreamt I embarked on the flight back to Australia and to tell the truth, really enjoy"-ed" being back there. During the previous summer holidays, I have always wished that I have a longer duration and not have to go back. Now I think otherwise. One reason would be not having done anything progressive. Should have went for a part time job. Two, I have less stuff weighing on my mind when I was actually busy studying. Coming back would be like waking me up from the comfort of my bed and face the cruel reality. I know I can play dumb no more, it's time for me to really decide what I need to do with my future. Aunt was asking me whether I'd want to take over my father's business. I did consider about that, but can I manage? She told me that there's no turning back once I really chose to do so, and that there's a really really big responsibility to bear.

There's also the matter between gong ter and I since I came clean with mum telling her about us. It ended up far worse than I thought it would turn out. A minute ago when she thought I am unattached, she's telling everyone her worries of me not finding the suitable someone yet. A minute later knowing otherwise, she freaked out saying I should end the relationship. I know her worries and all, I will have a serious thought over it and heed all her advice. It's going to be a long hardship ahead for us. Hmm.. *fingers crossed* Miss him really really very much right now.

ChristMas

This season of giving hasn't been really jolly and joyful.

The once anticipated trip has now mean nothing much but a tiring 8 hours train ride to and back. I miss my grandparents...

I went window shopping today. There were shops filled with shimmering decorations and crowding people, all happily in search of the best gift for their loved ones. Meeting up with ex-classmates cheered me up a little but still something was weighing on my mind all the while we laughed and chatted. As soon as I felt a wee bit better and relieved, I was welcomed with an unexpectable surprise as I reached home. Half an hour or so of lecture and questioning session..

I know what they did was solely out of the best intention for me, but being too protected I feel that I have not the control over my own life, as though being chained to the wall and put behind bars although provided with the best food. I am thankful for having such wonderful family who cared, yet can't help feeling the emptiness inside. The voices I hear have made me lose all sense of directions, giving me a mixture of feelings as though the rainbow had swirled in the sky of clouds.

I'm miserable. I hope I can be strong. To prove to them that this someone special I've met has brought me joy and happiness.

Isomnia

The night goes by without much sleep

‘Cause I know I won’t wake up next to you

With the warmth of your embrace

I was able to slumber like a baby in a cradle

Yet now I'm troubled by a mixture of thoughts

I will be there for you till the end of time

You say you would do the same for me

But sadly, I am at doubt

When everything tumbles down

Will you still be able to cheer me up?

When I’m all alone in my room

Everything reminds me of you

What are you doing now?

Would you be thinking of me

As much as I am of you now?

Being in your room

is the happiest thing to do

Enjoyed watching you at your desk

Yet less attention was paid

To this girl sitting at a corner

To be truthful

This girl wasn’t happy at all

Should she not have been there

Or was there any difference anyway

With her being there at the first place?

Recollecting the sms-es you’ve sent

They are kind, sweet, lovely words

A healer for the present dispirited heart

There have been less of them of late

which frankly saddens me more

I’m pouring my heart to you now

I don’t want you to comply

Being someone you’re not

Just because I told you so

I wish there is a bond between us

I can’t stand before you

With a label on my head

Telling you I’m feeling blue

Telling you my heart feels sour

Telling you I’m suffocating

I’m pleading for you to realize

That I’m feeling terribly dreadful

although I may not tell you so

That I’ve been tearing a lot lately

for some reasons I can’t express

That I wish you were there at times

but it happens so often that you weren’t

I don’t have the courage to do this anymore

Has it been a mistake between us?

Can we continue going on like this?

I don’t know. I’m afraid to find out.

There goes another sleepless night.

《喜欢和爱》

喜欢一个人，在一起的时候会很开心

爱一个人，在一起的时候，会莫名的失落

喜欢一个人，你不会想到你们的将来

爱一个人，你们常常在一起憧憬明天

喜欢一个人，在一起的时候永远是欢乐

爱一个人，你会常常流泪

喜欢一个人，当你们好久不见，你会突然想起他

爱一个人，当你们好久不见，你会天天想着他

喜欢一个人，当你想起他，你会微微一笑

爱一个人，当你想起他，你会对着天空发呆

喜欢一个人，你会想,他有了孩子，你一定会很喜欢，

爱一个人，会有一天，你突然很好奇：将来我们的孩子会是什么样子

喜欢一个人就是希望大家都开心

爱一个人希望他会更开心

喜欢一个人，你要得只是今天

爱一个人，你期望的是永远

喜欢一个人，是看到了他的优点

爱一个人，是包容了他的缺点

喜欢和爱的区别就在于

当你站在你爱的人面前,你的心跳会加速

当你与你爱的人四目交投,你会害羞

但当你站在你喜欢的人面前,你只感到开心

但当你与你喜欢的人四目交投,你只会微笑. 　　　　

当你与你爱的人对话,你觉得难以启齿

当你爱的人哭,你会陪她一起哭

但当你和你喜欢的人对话,你可以畅所欲言

但当你喜欢的人哭,你会技巧的安慰她. 　　　　

当你不想再爱一个人,你要闭上眼睛并忍着泪水

当你不想再喜欢一个人,你只要掩住双耳! 　　　

喜欢，是一种心情

爱，是一种感情

喜欢，是一种直觉

爱，是一种感觉

喜欢，可以停止

爱，没有休止

喜欢一个人，特别自然

爱一个人，特别坦然

喜欢一个人，有时候盼和他在一起

爱一个人，有时候怕和他在一起

喜欢一个人，不停的和他争执

爱一个人，不停的为他付出

喜欢一个人，希望他可以随时找到自己

爱一个人，希望可以随时找到他

喜欢一个人，总是为他而笑

爱一个人，总是为他而哭

喜欢，是执着

爱，是值得

喜欢就是喜欢，很简单

爱就是爱，很复杂

喜欢你，却不一定爱你

爱你，就一定很喜欢你

其实，喜欢和爱仅一步之遥

但，想要迈这一步就看你

是喜欢迈这一步? 还是爱迈这一步?

Another semester DONE~!

Well, literally speaking it's not over yet since we still have a presentation due next week. But it really feels like the semester's done~!

I know I'm not making any sense.. Do pardon the sick..

It happened right on the day of report submission, that Mr. Throat inflameur, Ms. Runnie nose and Mrs. Cough decided it's high time they come to pay a visit.. Too bad for Soh Lou since he had to take care of this sickly one while struggling to prepare for his two final papers.

Hope our guests don't settle on staying too long.. or worse... Show their affections to Soh Lou..

MBRC's BBQ Dinner (18 OCT)

I know I was reluctant to go at first but who cares... when there's free food right? In other words, I can both save munny and the effort of having to cook dinner. Guess I'm getting pretty lazy nowadays and cooking is no longer one of my passion.

OK. Back to the BBQ dinner. When they mentioned BBQ in the email, I was thinking of those

charcoal. chicken wings. sausages. burning hot. Yum Yum. And coincidentally Nick was telling me about BBQ bacon this morning.

Well, it turned out not exactly as I have thought it to be. Just an ordinary dinner yet appetizing- with crackers and cheese and cashews as starters, followed by grilled chicken breast with fragrant rice, asparagus and caesar salad, finally vanilla ice-cream with cherry plum topping for dessert. (>w<) I was in heaven~! Talk about having a full stretch day in lab, this all pays off by being awarded with such fine and simple dinner. (Nick: PIGGY!)

We had a fun time cam-whoring all the while we're there and also being country-bum about being in a house on top of the hill

Me n Supin
Prof. Roger Smith - Head of MBRC & Chef of the night
Tan (You should have seen his bushy beard!) and Jorge
Jess and her glass of red wine

All of us having the splendid dinner

Simply couldn't resist the lurvely night lights
My supervisor - Prof. Rick Nicholson

(Suspect Jess has taken a liking on him)
Like I've said.. Can't resist it

Prof. John Aitken, I suppose

Candid~! (Luckily I wasn't acting weird)

Some other phD's and post-doc in the lab

Kaushik (Resembles my dad in his 30's XP)

WOW~! Thanh.. I seriously didn't see that coming.
Matthew - My Biotech senior and chaffeur of the night

Asean gurls @ MBRC!!

The hazelnut and the round-faced

Jess in her usual act-cool pose

ME looking weird.. maybe feeling numb after smiling for shots all night
Jonathan Paul. Thanh praying

Last few shots before we leave

And

Drumrolls ~

TA-DAA!!!

Jess finally had a shot with her dream Prince - John Schjenken

(She's been drooling all over ever since I started my placement)

(Everyone in the lab knows about her big crush)

(Wonder if John knows about it)
(What if the rumours are true?)

(If John's a gay)

~THE END~

2007-10-20T20:51:00.000-07:00

The BEACH~!

We're at the beach again! Forgot when's the last time we went.. But this time we were really looking forward to having tonnes of fun

Until~

Our volleyball got snatched away.

Ok. Unintentionally.

And as timetable navigator Nick predicted the night before, we ended up taking the 9:45am bus *cheekily showing his 'I-told-you-so' expression*. Well, all of us were practically shivering in our bones when we finally reached Newcastle beach, doubting the weather forecast being sunny. But hours later, the scorching sun drenched the beach and we had to put our tubes of sunblock to good use. We managed to run into the seniors and N&D juniors (such good coincidence), whilst Suresh and EC joined us later.

It was fun seeing EC being "man-carried" into the freezing-cold water.

WW being carried princess-style by Warren.

WW's attempt to perform her silat-kick in water.

The other exciting bit was the 'chemical reactions' that was going on. XP

Awkward bit was maybe us in our bikini suits.. (Evinced by the odd gazes)

And so we had our fun, then it's lunch at Oporto. There was some comical squabble over the 1/2 and whole chicken between EC and Nick. *Restrain to laugh all the while*

Photos:

The babes! XD

And the guys.. F n Warren

Soh lou.. Looking soh soh dei, wonder if the sun got to him
JL n MK (Still looking fair..)
I also want! Count me in wei~!!

It was a .. *yawn* .. fun fun fun day. Let the guiltiness of not doing my report come later~

Time for some nice nap!

2007-10-10T22:28:00.000-07:00

Mentally Exhausted

Just when things are starting to look promising,

It got worse...

Upon being rendered the news,

my hart submerged into distress.

Unable to respond,

Striving to be tough.

This month has been a dreadful one so far,

and it's not getting any better.

I pray that I am still able to take challenges

Or at least feeling fortunate that

someone's always there for me.

Play a Practical Joke.... On the dumb dumb

Not long ago, my beloved sis and her boy Ben ben decided to play a pretty good joke on me. What's more, they picked the exact right time also, which is when I was all troubled about my placement. Picked an easy target, ehh?

The msn conversation went like this:

Baby/Mummy* says:

hi there.. how you doing?

BreadfreaK says:

Erm.. Can I know who you r?

Baby/Mummy* says:

You wanna know who I am?? But I want to know who are you first.

BreadfreaK says:

I asked you first, so I get the priority to know you first.

Baby/Mummy* says:

but I wanna know who you are more than you wanna know me.. Can you be first plz =)

BreadfreaK says:

K then. My name is BreadfreaK*. So what else do you wanna know?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I wanna know how old are you then.

BreadfreaK says: (Testing my doubts)

19

Baby/Mummy* says:

Huh? So young? Don't lie.. I thought you're 21

BreadfreaK says: (Doubts confirmed.. This fella definitely knows me)

-_-!!

Baby/Mummy* says:

I am right rite?

BreadfreaK says:

Yea, you are. How about you?

Baby/Mummy* says:

50?

BreadfreaK says: (In doubt again)

-_-!!! So.. wait.. Do I actually know you? or not?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I saw you in the Malaysian Fest last Sunday if I'm not mistaken.. Nopez.. You've never seen me before

BreadfreaK says:

HARH? You saw me? Did you talk to me back then?

Baby/Mummy* says:

Nopes.. coz I was too shy.. BTW, I'm not really 50, I'm only 22

BreadfreaK says: ( TL izit? or Louis?)

Ohh. so how did you know it's me at the fest and how did you get my msn add.?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I have my contacts. During the fest, you were wearing a black top with some white scribbles on it right?... And you ate mee goreng.. rite rite?

BreadfreaK says: (Nope.. Definitely not them)

-_-!!! Yea.

Baby/Mummy* says:

LOL. I think we are made for each other.. You have one sister, and 4 brothers and.. your sister just got a new car.. If not mistaken, it's a blue suzuki swift... And you used to drive a silver Advanza

BreadfreaK says:

Oh god.. You're starting to freak me out here.. You spy on me arr?

Baby/Mummy* says:

I knew you long ago.

BreadfreaK says:

You psycho or something?

Baby/Mummy* says:

What do you think?

BreadfreaK says: (Ish~ Now only I figure out.. Such dumb dumb)

Hmm.. A pretty good 90% you are... or possibly 10% is just someone playing a dumb practical joke on me

Baby/Mummy* says:

ROFL~!

So, by the time I have everything figured out.. These two pranksters were already laughing till their stomach twisted and faces numb. Should have figured it out earlier, the nickname is almost the same as my dear beloved sis's only in the wrong order. Way to go Ben, I've always heard that you're a cheeky fella but you've really fooled me.. Big time~! Go laugh your heads off while you're at it then.

Blekk.

是

惋惜的疼痛

还是

无助的恐惧

我知道

生活本就如此

大大的美中

有小小的缺陷

哪有不散的宴席

不凋谢的花儿

唯有将深爱的亲人

及所有与她的回忆

都深藏在内心

默默地惦记着

庆幸与她

永别了

My 1st memorable night out

Literally, it doesn't mean that it's my first night outing.. It's something out of the blue being planned! Saturday was initially thought to be an ordinary unruffled day (Okay okay.. maybe more of a boring one) before the girls proposed that we go "jalan-jalan" at Darby Street and prolly stop by for dinner as well.

At first, I thought we'd catch the bus since the bus stop is nearer and my legs are feeling terribly weak but things didn't work out as I planned. So we took the train instead after waiting 30min without a bus in sight. My poor legs. Having reached Darby St. in one piece, we chose to have Vietnamese cuisine as there's pretty much nothing to do except to dine in. EJ miraculously joined us for dinner when we were about to make our order since his semester break commenced. T.T Pity us. Dun have break~

Looking through the liquor menu when ironically I'm not ordering any.
Act pose nia nia~

JL, looking as attractive as ever, what's more enhanced by the candle light
MK with her KicKapoo~! Nah. It's HeinekenThe camera doesn't like me. No candle light effect~
Some giggly moments, scheming an after-dinner plan it seems

WHICH IS . .

CLUBBING !!!!

And our safe escort for the night are none other than

Strapping boys - F and EJ

The gurlz and F on the dance floor

We dropped by Customs as starter before we proceeded to Frosties. The girls had a few drinks whilst I only had a small glass of Vodka Coke which was enough to make my stomach churn and with the terrible music blasting in my ears, I was feeling dreadfully nauseous for a moment there.

Try going onto the dance floor with weak legs and dance really hard for a few hours straight, it'd be a miracle if you didn't get blisters at the end of the day. EJ and F were good enough to direct us girls away from drunkards and those who intended to approach us. Thanks a lot guys~!

Being all sweaty and fatigue, we got home around 3am and turned in some hours later. It was a great experience after all except the fact that the music was awful and guess I'm not cut out for any alcohol beverages.

If my parents were to know about this, I'm DEAD MEAT~!

Mooncake Festival Celebration

After a tiring trip to the Hunter Valley Winery, we proceed to the mooncake festival celebration organized by the Singapore society at Edward's Hall Cellar. As planned, the celebration was supposed to commence at 6:30pm but we arrived at seven thinking that the party had already started when it actually hasn't. Hehe. So much for Malaysian timing.. I guess since Singapore's in the same time zone as Malaysia, we share the same concept for making it ON TIME..

The society also organized a competition whereby attendants can form a group of three and make up dishes that is enough for 15 people. The group which gets the most vote from the other attendants would stand a chance to win AUD50. Hmm..I must say.. A not-so-attracting amount and the runner up doesn't get anything plus being too exhausted after the winery trip, we dun want to go through the hustle to actually cook for the celebration. So we went empty-handed..

More pictures ahead:

Raymond's getting so excited about the lantern that he got from JL..
Maybe the bamboo stick was too long, more like a fishing pole

and I join in the fun.. Woo hoo~

Me and JL under the spotlight.. And JL finally got back her pink lantern

Raymond joined in as well

The biotech trio with JL's symbolic baby pink lantern

A total of 37 of us (I guess) went around parading half the campus with brightly lit lanterns

After celebration drink

After around 12am, we continued going to International House for some wine-drinking to make up for the after dinner celebration from Nick's 21st birthday. There, we played endless rounds of games and the loser gets the punishment by drinking. The gentlemen were good enough to make me my drink with only a 10% of alcohol mix (or even less) with the rest being carbonated soft drink. My so-called absolute zero tolerance to alcohol is already well-known as it is.

Quote MK, "Dun give her anymore, we won't want to carry her home.." Thanks a lot~.. you're actually embarrassing me a lot with that..

I only found out not long ago that I'm not in any of the pictures.. Hehe.. But I'm really there.. We played till 5am in the morning with my contact lenses killing my eyes and the wind chilled us to our spines as we walk back to our room.

JL busy thinking of a number in the number-guessing game we played

Some very hilarious moments.. And as EC has noticed, my hand managed to get into the photo

Frank.. You're right, you can't take much of alcohol.. We 're of the same kind man~! XD
JL's eyes getting smaller and eyebags heavier as the night crawled by. The gentlemen of the night - Suresh and Nick

Hunter Winery Tour

I never thought I would agree on going for a winery tour judging from the fact that I have absolute zero tolerance to alcohol. But it doesn't hurt to go for an eye-opening experience, moreover the trip only cost around AUD17 with both transport and lunch provided.

Our first stop - Tempus Two Cellar

Can't resist the lovely picturesque scenery

Lurve the corridors

A cool landmark that greeted us right at the entrance

Ready for some wine tasting gurls?

KAMPAI!~

Noticed my blushed face? I only had a few sips 'n' nips.
Told you I had zero tolerance XD

The 3 o' us posing when others are purchasing liquor

Another one of my blushed face. XP

JL can't resist cuddling the bottle-shaped furnishing

Out in the open again, to have the cool breeze restore me back to normal

Me and ever-so-cutie JL in baby shades of pink

A wine truck beside a Cheezie factory.. Weird huh?
Nah.. there's actually a liquor factory

Tasted some fine cheese at the factory.. including cheddar, feta, soft cheese, goat milk cheese and blue cheese.. A piece of advice though, dun try blue cheese if you're going for a date. It'll scare your date away.

Lucky. The lovely attention-seeking golden retriever that can't resist to have everyone scratch his head (Wonder if it has fleas), but it doesn't seem to like photo-taking no matter how hard JL tried. Alas, when we gave up, Lucky went like this..

*stick tongue out* Fat chance you're taking any photos with me.. I'm too good to be in any photos..

Got kinda numb after smiling for so many photos.. By the way, each barrels of wine costs about AUD25K.. or was it 250K? Blek.. never mind. Alcohol do give some effects of short memory span

Nice sunny day

Nice sunny day with me in it~ XD

A peculiar tree with exceptionally broad barrel-like trunk

Cam-whoring on the bus before we head to the garden for some yummy lunch..
Um um.. I'm starving~!

Milk maids HM and MK

JL can't resist cuddly teddy bears.

Even I can't resist the temptation to cuddle one myself

Huh? Why MK posing liddat? Is she calling for someone?

Yeap. She's calling for me to join her in this photo shoot.

Peach Sparkling Wine- The one juz right for me. Wonder why? Coz it has only 5.5% of alcohol

Golden Tango Cream - also called "Love in a Bottle"
Almost like bailey with a combination of caramel and coconut

Our last drink- Chili Schnapps
Quite a peculiar drink.. Oh okay, it's just weird~!!
Do I really need to finish the whole glass in one gulp?

An expensive exquisite water bottle

Posing again in front of a barrel wagon with the peach sparkling wine

A final photo of us at the last winery for the day

All in all, the whole tour was really an eye-opener; however, it would be great if the stops between the three different wineries hadn't been so time-consuming. According to JL (who was laughing non-stop as she was telling me this), I was so exhausted at the end of the trip that I was practically sleeping with my mouth wide open. Plus my deepest apologies to MK for using her shoulder as my head rest for the whole journey. Guess I really had fun~ It's a worthwhile trip after all.

Nick's 21st.. at Pyjamas

Oops..My mistake. It's Benjamas Thai at Darby Street.. Or else everyone would need to turn up in their pj(s). Luckily (or more appropriately speaking, Unfortunately) someone was efficient enough to mush up the placenta that we're going to sample from and I ended up pretty much nothing to do and had to go home early. And behold~ The most horrid choice of apparel of the year..!! Dunno what has gotten into me.. Was looking myself in the wardrobe mirror and couldn't stop adding more clothes and accessories till I ended up looking absolutely ridiculous.

Anyways, it's a nice restaurant with warm comfortable ambiance apart from the variety of Thai furnishings of which MK seems to think they're ill-omened. I personally think that there wasn't really any space to move around and even when we eat, we had to keep our elbows bent inwards and eat like a princess. This time, I was smart enough to have had some porridge in the afternoon before the actual dinner since the proportion of the dishes we ordered was soooo... LLAARRGGEE~! All in all, the curry wasn't spicy enough and all tasted almost the same. But the service was prompt and fairly satisfactory.

Pictures:

Oiii. Kacau-La. Why muz you block me everytime? I know you want every spec of the spotlight

That's better.. Although my hair's a disaster~! I went thru a typhoon apparently

Frm left --> EJ, Karen, Nick, JL n EC

Some happy moments there. Forgot what we're chatting about though

And some dull moments.. Prolly when Nick cuts his cake in an "un-man-ly" way.. Kidding~!

Group Photos~!

So Hang Fook.. Err.. Can we go now?

Blerr Quenn

Oops.. Should be "Blurr Queen"..Here's how it went..

How can you lose something you bought in just 2 hours.. Then find it again miraculously at an unexpected location..? Unbelievable? Believe it~

There I was playing around with the new earrings I bought in the bathroom and after some time I decided to remove them and keep them away. Having removed one of them, I proceeded to the next and suddenly there was a slight "thud" and the next thing I knew.. I LOST IT~! DANG! I LOST ONE OF MY EARRINGS~!

Stupid! Clumsy! Reckless!.. I was ceaselessly reprimanding myself for the next minute or so before decided to start frantically searching high and low to find the missing piece. The first place I figured was the SINK as it would have easily slipped down the sink into the piping, and so I opened the cabinet below and tackled with the pipes. Apparently the pipes are unscrewable and easily removed, for a moment there I felt some hope in the midst of despair as the earring could have settled in the U-shaped pipe. But it turned out there was nothing in it.

I tried a second time (screwing back the pipe, pour water down the sink, then unscrew the pipe again).. Still, there's nothing~! (I bet you're thinking why I'd do that.. Well, I obviously dunno.. Maybe being exceptionally desperate makes you do the silliest things)

Well, definitely not down the sink..Cross that possibility out.. The next place to look was the BATHROOM SLAB. Err.. One major problem, the slab was covered and sealed with concrete. If it were to drop down the gutter, no way I'm getting it back up. Just when all hopes were lost, something caught my attention.

The RUBBISH BIN~!!

I think you could have guessed what happened next. I was literally tossing rubbish out of the stuffed bin and scavenged through hair-webs and toilet rolls like siao poh. I checked every piece of rubbish and eventually every corner of the bathroom. The one thing I didn't do was chisel out every tiles. I would if I could..

OKOK..I GIVE UP~! I GIVE UP~! It's definitely down the gutter and I won't be able to retrieve it EVER!

Being exceedingly miserable, glum and frustrated, I looked into the mirror with a fierce face glaring back at me. To my horror...

I FOUND IT~!!

I'VE FOUND THE MISSING EARRING~!

Go ahead.. Have a wild guess where it actually reappeared... As you might have guessed, it's right where it belongs. Duh..My Ear~! Haha.. Laugh at me if you wish.

All the wild goose chase for nothing .. Or should I say foolish girl hunt..

To end this silly story, I therefore officially declare myself as the

......."BLERR QUENN"

2007-08-21T02:15:00.000-07:00

Placement started~!

At first I thought there would be so much to do that I wouldn't be able to manage. On the first day, I ended up getting all geared up and was extremely grumpy when I nearly missed the bus (Winnie become my victim of outburst). To top it all, it had to be a pouring Monday~ Yikes! Things couldn't have been worse. Well, it just DID~! All the complications and troubles of needing to go through the safety induction for PC2 lab and all is really getting on my nerves.. I had missed out on the previous session since they coincidentally banged into my heavy-packed tormentous week. I need to accomplish these bothersome procedures before I can actually start handling with the cell cultures for my project. Jin Jia Ma Huan leh~

Well, at least I get to finish part of my finance assignments instead of hanging around doing nothing at all.

Nonetheless, I DID manage to sneak into the lab on the first day to observe the handling of cell cultures. And wait till you get to know the history of the cells, they're actually 40-YEARS-OLD~! The samples were taken from the placenta of a woman 40 years ago when the placenta actually turned carcinogenic during pregnancy. Had no idea whether it occurred during late pregnancy or during the early stages and the pregnancy had to be terminated.

Yipee~! I've touched a 40-YEAR-OLD carcinogenic cell line!!

*getting all excited about it*

Sydney~Sydney~Sydney

Forgive me for the monotonously L-A-M-E title.. plus saying it three times simply means we have frequented the big city thrice. However, we hadn't had much fun this time compared to the previous trips. It's all MSL's fault!!

Then again, JL and I are quite contented to be able to meet up with some of our secondary classmates although we only had a brief conversation. And now PICTURES!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

At the exact moment I finished posting my previous blog, fate came knocking at the door~ Hehe. Or at least it's the best gang of friends you could ever have. Okay guys, I have to admit. I overlooked the possibility that you all would be celebrating for me today. On top of that, *sniff sniff* I reek after cooking.. which explains why I was hiding behind the door when you guys came.

John Hunter's & Charlestown

Laugh at me if you wish. Frankly, I still can't grasp the exact timing when the bus will be arriving. But this time I've made progress, just that the driver lectured me a lil for not signaling to him. Err.. *Speechless*

The streets were packed with vehicles today. An unusual sight indeed. But not as hectic as the terrible jam in KL, which is why the bus was still able to reach its destination on time. I was then directed to the diagnostic centre when I arrived at Royal Newcastle Centre. The place was.. erm.. put it this way.. quiet. Lucky there's no queue and no number-taking. It was my turn straight away though there was a minor slip-up.

A short conversation at the Reception ..

Woman: I've checked and there's no profile created for you in the database yet .. *several clicks on the mouse*.. Not your fault anyways *Smile*... ... But this will take a bit longer ..

Me (in thoughts): *Roll eyes* Oh god~! I wonder how long this is gonna take.

Woman: Is your title Mrs? or Miss?

Me: (without haste) Miss..

Moments of questioning later ..

Woman: We've arranged a X-ray session for you. Please be seated and hopefully you'll be called soon.

Me: Thank you

Then, I settled down at the waiting area and of course, I thought I would have to endure long hours of waiting. Miraculously, I was called within 2 minutes. Astoundingly fast leh~ Tracey was the friendly girl who attended to me. Another short funny conversation between me & Tracey:

Tracey: *positioning the machine* Just to ask whether you having any implications like pregnancy etc..?

Me: Heavens no~!

Tracey: *Giggles* Just a routine question. I just need to confirm whether you are pregnant before I can proceed. Besides, that's the last thing you would bring back from a foreign country right?

Me: Hehe..

All in all, the whole visit only took 15 minutes, before I reached Charlestown Square at 10am. Along the way the wind was mischievously playing pranks on every passers-by. Luckily I wasn't wearing a skirt, or maybe I might end up like this:

Marilyn Monroe

At first glance, most of the shop outlets were having a grand sale, with discounts up to 70%. I spent my time weaving in and out of every shops. However, I wasn't able to find anything worth buying. I intended on buying a puffy jacket to combat the cold climate but since they don't have my size, I had to give in.

Out of the blue, I spotted two suspicious characters. I planned to back away from them, but one of them spotted me instead and was telling the other about me. Haha. I caught both "culprits" red-handed! Well, it was not long before I bumped into another surprise. Another familiar character came into view and I came to realise that she's gonna meet up with the other two I saw earlier. Amusingly, they confused the place to meet. I wonder if they manage to meet after I left with my 2-piece-feed.

Conclusion: After spending three whole hours o' window-shopping, I ended up with nothing I intended to buy except two bags o' groceries and a bottle of nail polish. Guess the only thing I can afford is none other than -- FOOD! Or maybe I'm just pure Oh-Ba-San-ish.

This was the robe I nearly bought (costs AUD42) but didn't. Anyways, it looks cool on me. (Perasan-NYa)
Guess maybe I'll try my luck at Sydney.

I wonder what they're getting me .. I wonder ..

p/s: Don't worry.. Even if you get me a pretty bag, I'd treasure it..

2007-06-25T20:42:00.000-07:00

It's the END~!

Three weeks of torment has finally come to an end.. Well, for now at least.. Don't remind me of the second semester just yet. Hehe.

All in all, I didn't do very good.. after all, I slacked a lot this semester and that's no lie. Direct proof of that would be the result (release during July).

Three cheers nonetheless ..

Hip hip Hooray~!

Hip hip .... HOORAY~!

And now..

HOLIDAY PLANS!!

I guess we had it all planned during the exam period..
Here are some of them:

1. Eat to our hearts' content at Silverdolphin

-- I know what keen readers are wondering. Why Silverdolphin all the time? I'll tell you. The only comforting we get here is by eating, and what place better for low cost glorious food? That's why Silverdolphin.

*Strictly no advertising purposes

2. Play volleyball at the beach (or maybe juz at the Forum)

--We bought a volleyball ages ago and just can't wait to try it out.. Hope my skills hasn't gone rusty.

3. Go Sydney

--Yeah. It's Sydney again. Can't think of anything to do there except shopping since we went to Taronga zoo and seen the Opera house several times. There might be other places we haven't frequented.. Let's hope we find some new spots to explore this time.

4. Oh ya.. Kinda forgetting.. Buy a set of bikini

--This is the agreement between JL, MK and I. All of us would need to get bikini(s) and wear it during our next outing at the beach. The person who chickens out of the deal would have to go as a nudist instead. Muahahaha~ (It'd be excellent if Winny join in the fun)

Hehe. That's our plan for the 2 weeks' holiday..

Wallet shrunk yet Happy~

Went to Stockland as usual.. but this time I didn't overspend on groceries from Woolsworth, I ended up spending more at Priceline pharmacy. This includes having bought a bottle of Blackmore's Evening Primrose Oil and Fish Oil, Mandarin blossom & Jojoba Exfoliating Body polish. Juz imagine, these costed me double the expenses I spent for groceries. Woa~ *Roll eyes*

However, the pharmacy did give me a free compliment for being such a *loyal* customer (NAH~! Juz for spending over AUD40 I think). At first, I thought it was another one of those cheap stake bags of low quality, like the last one I got was awful. Seriously, I'd rather bury myself in some hole than going out with that bag. In the end, this compliment turns out to be quite a reward after all.

Combination of black and white.. Stylish~ The right size too! Not too big, yet not too small.. Juz right for me. As I examine the bag further, I found another surprise. It appears to be another white casing in the black one. Woa~ I was like showing JL the bag and "Kawaiii~!".

*Note: This is the other side of me..Being outrageously nuts about something trivial and seemingly ORDINARY~ Haha..XD*

SYDNEY Revisited!

DAY 1

Nothing like a good morning to start our trip.. our Adventure. The sunrise at Warabrook station was simply breathtaking, the long wait was worthwhile after all. Well, apart from the company of a drunk aussie girl.

The duration of the trip didn't seem as long as the last one though, maybe I was catching up on my beauty sleep. Hopefully I didn't drool in public. Our first stop was of course YHA Central before answering to my poor grumbling stomach's plea. On the way from central train station, JL caught sight of a city sightseeing double-decker and we took pictures of it.

We had a quick tour of Paddy's Market before we have our lunch at a restaurant in Chinatown. Finally! I could feel my tummy gleefully hop about cheering. Yum Yum~ Can't wait for the glorious food to be served. There's crisp soy chicken, mayonaisse prawn and seafood claypot. Costed us about AUD80 for four, reasonable. The streets of Chinatown seem kind of empty, prolly not the time yet when people start filling up the streets.

Next stop- Darling Harbour. The view at the harbour was as picturesque as ever, with dozens of skyscrappers in sight. Harbourside Shopping Centre, still a boring place without much to see, but this granny here managed to attract JL's attention. If you ask me, she definitely looks darn scary to me. Also, it's kinda fascinating to see such dazzling collection of Russian nesting dolls (matryoshka). I can't resist to have a picture taken myself, with the scary granny out of the pic of course. Hehe.. not long after that, JL and WW were caught up in one of the toy store. They were happily playing and posing along with the cartoon mannequins. See what I mean?

More pictures taken at DH before our adventure ends for the day:

Later that night, we had more moments of pic-capturing in our room, which is "obviously" better furnished than the one we had last time. I think it's best that those photos are not posted here or else I'm dead meat~!

Tag-ED!

After reading dear dear pumpkin's blog, I think I'll continue the tag...

Each person starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves.

People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly.

In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on.

Well, the following are the 6 weird things about me:

Severe home-sickly character. Never once have I failed to cry or have mood swings during long away-from-home trips.
Tidiness & Scruffines. I may tidy my things but sometimes be terribly messy once in a bluemoon.
Verbal Dilemma. Can't voice my thoughts properly but never fail to offend people in a way now and then.
Terrible wardrobe selection. Haven really successful buying the right apparel by my own.
Simple-minded creature. Thinking without depth and shallow mindset, will fret about trivial matters and be dreadfully upset.
Bread freak. Endless craving for bread, currently stuck to mixed nuts bread loaf. Nevertheless, have cravings for all food variety. Lurve 'em ALL~!

I think there's more to the list.. XD.. But, I think I'm done with these 6 points. I won't specifically tag anyone, as it would seem like forcing them to do it. Continue the cycle if you wish~

I've missed the first, then the second...and now it's gonna be the third and last one? Double darn~!!

Aiya..No point crying over spilt milk..which is not spilt yet..but gonna spill soon..Heh, you get the point.

Might as well settle down with the trailer. Although it lasted a few freakin-short minutes but was way exhilarating and spine-tingling which MAKES YOU WANA CRY TO NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO WATCH IT........ArrrggGHHHHHH!!!!

Back to Aussie

3 months of summer holiday...*Snap!*...GONE~!...

I still remember Yong Ming was counting the remains of my holiday...

"Your holiday is for how long?..Harh? 3 months? Geng~"

*

*

*

"You still have 2 months hor?"

*

*

*

"Another month to go..."

Before you know it, it's time to go back to aussie again..My parents started urging me to start packing since it'll be a long year ahead, but I was dilly-dally about it. I have not the slightest intention to pack at all~!

I started packing simple stuff..polo, tees, shorts, jeans, lingeries, sneakers, backpack, cleansing foam etc. I managed to fill half of my luggage bag with all the neccessities that I need. However, in the end both my mum and my sis had demanded me to repack.

My sis said, "Bring some nice beautiful clothes!"

My mum said, "Bring more stuff..Fung, help your sis pack"

After having packed all my stuff, we'll be heading for KLIA the next day. I dread that time would stop, the clock would stop ticking. May I stay here and not have to go to the foreign land?

In no time at all, it's already 3am in the morning. I woke up and ran down the stairs to find my parents having some hot drinks. When I saw both of them wearing jackets, it made me feel more dreadful to have troubled them. I should have called a cab. My sis came down and bid me farewell, mum asked her to give me a goodbye kiss. There's a pause for a moment there, we hesitated but didn't kiss in the end. Well, the hesitation really made me tearing but I tried to hid it from my parents. Perhaps mum saw through her rear mirror.

The road to KLIA seems surprisingly short at the time like this. Oh how I wish the road would lead to nowhere..

As I rush to the check in counter, dad helped me with the luggages. After having checked in, dad employed his usual strategy of dragging mum away before we start crying. I intend to give her a farewell kiss but dad managed to drag mum away before I had the urge to approach her. Well, all I can say is luckily he dragged mum, or else I'm absolutely sure I'd break into tears.

Now...I miss every moment, every corner, every person in that house.

And how I wish I could be there right this moment..

Happily chatting away with my siblings;

Endure dad's nagging when I surf the net till late at night;

Pester mum when she's busy doing her stuff;

To wake up late in the morning;

To have breakfast together with mum;

To go out with her the whole day;

To fetch my twin bro to tuition;

To drive;

To not do the laundry;

To enjoy mum's cooking;

To lay on parent's bed until they drive me out of the room;

To fool around with mum making her laugh;

and To not being homesick AT ALL~!

Cries of a homesick lil' gurl

Unbelievable!!!!

My parents were back together again, talking....Not that I don't want them to be together again, it's just that it hit me surprisingly dumbfounded....Like struck by lightning...

And what's more.... Dad asked Mum whether to spend the Chinese New Year in Singapore. You couldn't imagine how I look like when the question was rendered. Imagine I was like "Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!...Say YES!" and frantically nodding head but didn't actually show. And Mum was like "Ohh...I dunno...I dun wanna cramp with the crowd...Somemore bear with the traffic..."

Oh ou....We'd be staying at home juz like the year before and the year before and the year before that...*Sob sob*

But then Dad mentioned he has free package for some hotel in Sg and after some discussion, Mum said YES~

HURRAY!!! *Victory Dance*

The Power of Momentum

"Why the heck am I going through all this?!"

Seriously, I was bombarded endlessly by this remark in my head all along the way from Jalan Ipoh to Subang Jaya. You should have been in bed, snoring away like a pig, it reprimanded me.

True..And when I recalled the duration of the seminar being a whole 12 hours, shrieks came echoing. I want my bed~! I want my beauty sleep~! I want my fluffy pillow~!

Too late. In no time, I was at McD ordering a McEgg muffin which cost me 3 bucks. Then, with heavy traffic near TCSJ, we managed to inch along the road to SS12 and finally found our destination-- Holiday Villa.

Ahh~ TCSJ.. Sure brings back a lot of memorable stuff. The early rush for parking lot, the painstaking effort for coins (parking ticket), Desperately in search of seats in the cafeteria, vacancies for computer in the library and the web..Not forgetting chatters and lessons we had in Comp Lab, Room 3.2 and LT8. Yea. Sweet memories. (*except the parking part!)

According to the net,

HOLIDAY VILLA SUBANG , set on a pristine lake, along 8 acres of land, is a gallery of masterpieces. Holiday Villa Subang is a deluxe 5-star business hotel and recreation club. Ideal for both business and leisure. It's elegant interior of marble and impressive sculptures and paintings, warmed by the welcoming smiles of our staff beckons even the most disceming traveller. A rhapsody of warmth, hospitality and impeccable service.

Well, all I can say from my first impression was that it doesn't look so fancy a deluxe 5-star hotel.

The next thing I saw was, the reception was crowded with business entities. At that moment, I was sure I felt like being cheated or something. This seminar is entirely for those into the business field. Why am I here?

WHY?!~~~

To be continued...

Stay tuned for the next adventures of Cassie.. XD

Window Shopping? I think NOT~

Today, as usual, mum thought of a way to escape chores -- SHOPPING~! And where to spend some quality time to shop til drop? MIDVALLEY!...

It's always been hectic trying to find a parking lot at midvalley (often drives me totally mad!), but today there's plenty of space around. Mum even took her own sweet time choosing the "safest" lot. *chuckles*

With our stomach grumbling, we went for brunch at Jade's Palace. Mum's treat, of course. I ordered rice with roast pork. Yummy, SATURATED FAT! In the end, we had a wee bit too much of the spring onion dipping that we could hardly finish our bowl of rice.

After which, we walked past shops without the slightest intention to buy anything at all. Promoters stood motionless as we walked by. Somehow I wondered what I'd look like them if I were in their shoes. Hah~! Fat chance.

Somehow the act of buying miraculously commenced when we walked into "LABELZ". Mum had me trying on almost all of the dresses in the shop. When I looked myself in the mirror, I was like " Oh my gosh! I'm bloating up like a balloon. " And I blame the culprit -- saturated fat.

After some very painstakingly troublesome moments in the fitting room, we managed to buy four of which most suitable for both me and sis to share. It costed us RM196 in total (a fair price, I must say). Frankly I'm the indecisive and faltering type of shopper who's often gonna end up empty-handed, so I may need some "professional" advice, like Mum's. However, the buying didn't cease there.

Moments later, we went into THE FACE SHOP and ended up spending RM 288 on cosmetic stuff. No wonder dad's always nagging about his theory of "Women are spend thrifts" & "Women's munny is the easiest fast earning-money". Due to too much professional advice, we ended up buying 2 mascara, 2 eyeliner, 2 eyeshadow, 1 nail polish and 2 dunno wart hydrafresh spray. According to the salesperson, "The spray maintains your face at around 15 degree and locks in the moisture within...." I don't know about you, but it seems to me that it's another one of those products that doesn't have appealing effects. What's more, it's also on promotion, so I figured that's the reason why mum bought 2 of it. Well, another reason is that with a purchase of over RM250, there are free gifts. In the end, not only we got the stuff that we bought, there's also a set of almond-scented candles, 2 boxes of tissues, a mug, as well as a diary and a desktop calendar of a certain Korean artist.

WORLD OF PUZZLES is just around the corner. Luckily I stopped mum before she spent another RM140 for a box of 1000 pieces jingsaw puzzle of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (Though frankly I like that puzzle as well)

2007-01-13T21:02:00.000-08:00

Has the world gone mad?

*Warning* Unsightly images enclosed. Viewer's Discretion is adviced!

Here I was, a minute ago...surfing the net in peace. Why o' why do they have to torture me so?

Mum came strolling by and caught sight of my ever-so-disturbing fringe (At least it seems to her that way..). She mentioned something about wanting to do something about it and walked away. Moments later, I thought she came back with some pins to deal with the fringe. Heck! I was so wrong.

I almost jumped up when something eerie touched me in the forehead. Mum was meddling with my hair~! using my brother's hair wax. Yuck! I hate that stuff, coz it gives a strong hold texture, mostly for styling spiky hair. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!

And my sis had found the golden opportunity to rush over ...not to rescue me...But snap the evidence of my hideous, unsightly looks with my mobile. THANKS A LOT!

Here I post these images just for some laughs. Please do not forward the images (especially mine).

A Visit to the Dentist

I have always dreaded visits to the dentist. Prolly they shouldn't have made the movie - The Dentist about a mad dentist torturing others orally. Well, what's worse is that I have a pretty bad feeling about this visit and a gurl's instinct is always correct.

I was darn right.(How I wish I wasn't) The news hit me like an anchor fallen out of nowhere.

All your wisdom teeth are impacted and they need to be
removed....Pronto~!

Oh my goodness!!!!! Why me? WHY ME?!!!!! *shriek echoed**glass shattered*

As the following 30 minutes ticked by as though it was only one, the dentist successfully persuaded me to remove all of them in one blow. What could I say? As the saying goes, I'm meat on the chopping board. I'm dead meat anyways.

And the next 3 hours was pure torture........

And I ended up looking like this at the end of the day...

ARGGGHHHHHHHHHH~!!!! *woman shriek*

2006-11-24T08:16:00.000-08:00

Home Sweet Home

It's so gud to be HOME...

I finally felt what's like to be embraced by a cocoon of contentment and enjoyment.

To be protected by a safe warm home. To have a family to confide to. To have absolute attention and to laze around with absolutely nothing to fret. I never knew I was permitted to be such a spoilt brat at home.

No more laundry. No more cooking. No more dish washing. No more cleaning. No more grocery hunting. And heck no to endless walking..*chuckles* except shopping.

Well, one thing remains unchanged - the fact that I still turn in late and wake up late the other day.

Recuperating from isomnia and stress

First day 17 NOV 2006

It's been days after our final test

On the same day

we went to Stockland Jesmond

In search of Yee Man's birthday present

A crystal angel caught our eyes

To me it shouldn't cost that much

But that's how it is over here

For the price of one

we could prolly get a dozen over at M'sia

After having a nice long chat at KFC

We walked back to Barahineban

and gave the angel we bought

to its rightful owner

Sunday 19 NOV 2006

As usual

We had a "peaceful" dinner tonight

with EJ and William

After a few rounds of

HEARTATTACK with UNO

and having JL as the winner

We went to the common room

for a few rounds of table tennis

Boys were just being easy on us gurls

EC's killer blow really made me

run for cover and endless efforts

to go and pick up the balls

Needless-to-say

I'm the worst~

Monday 20 NOV 2006

Our plan for the day

CHARLESTOWN!

We missed the first bus

Many thanks to EC

However we did see EJ drove by

45 minutes passed

before Bus 226 finally came into view

However

having made a boo-boo

we ended up at the beach

instead of being at Charlestown

Nonetheless

we had lunch at a local Thai restaurant

and some ice cream (EC's treat)

after having ample eye candy

for hunkies at the beach

After which

we went to the park

having few rounds of

stick-tossing at each other

XD

EC should feel her breasts gotten bigger

And darn these flies

with their ceaseless pester

Counting the days

to finally go back to Malaysia

There I am

in front of the devil itself

within piles of papers

filled with countless words

Preparing myself for D-day

Roomie

On the other hand

Seems so indulged in studying

That she even grasp the moments

when she should be in bed

to study and study more

Can't help feeling ashamed

Though

Can't resist the temptation either

Gotta stop.......

Can almost hear MK with her usual *tsk*-es

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. How Do People See You?

How Shy am I??

You Are 76% Shy

You are a very shy person, and it has started to impact your life in a negative way.

If you can avoid human contact, you usually do.

Oops, I spoke again...

================

To those who knew me

I've been

as they say

cool...

****

I've always been a gurl with few words

It's as if my lips are sealed

I won't confide

My problems

My thoughts

Nor my feelings

To anyone

****

As time passes

I have been accustomed

to sit at a corner

All by myself

to be alone

In fact

No one ever knew the real me

Or rather

It was I

who hid behind the shades

who concealed myself

from others

from being hurt

****

As I mature

I tried to express myself

to no longer be an outcast

of the world around me

With small

careful steps

I tried to verbalize

My thoughts

My problems

and My feelings

I'd like everyone to know of my existence

I'd want to be a part of the play

****

I started to

babble on and on

until

I'd talk and joke

about anything at all

Yet

Out of the blue

it struck me

a heavy blow on my face

****

In the end

It seems that

I've been wrong

I was oblivious to the fact that

I've been arrogant

been self-centered

been unkind to others

The words

I've used and uttered

have not been kind words

More like arrows they seem

which struck and sank deeply

into the heart of others

****

Gotta Learn to Shut up~!!

Procrastination

**Listening to The Cheetah Girls - I Won't Say (I'm In Love)**

Hehe. XD

Procrastination struck me again. With absolutely no momentum at all to indulge in studying, I'm kinda having fun blogging.

No ever-so-boring notes

no head scratching moments

no thoughts tangling jiffy..

Hey~ I'm having my break here, it's already an ample reason to shun all responsibilities, unwind and all. Yet again, it's an EXCUSE! I'm aware..to flee from reality..

No chance no way, I won't say it..No no..
Give up, Give in..
Get off my case..

Hehe..The lyrics kinda correspond to my feelings. It seems that procrastination has taken over me once more, I wonder I will day-dream soon..

2006-10-05T09:32:00.000-07:00

Sydney

5,6th October 2006

**I'm outta here!! XD (quote Genie from Aladdin)**

Warabrook station is such a small station, heck~ Picture those station located in the midst of nowhere, without a soul in sight. Such a sad place you might think, but the country view was picturesque. I even caught sight this notice that mentioned that it was a magpie attack zone. Haha..Not a thing you would see in M'sia. The train was surely behind schedule as we were already indulged in bird watching.

After having changed trains at Hamilton, it was a dreadfully boring 2 1/2 hours' ride ahead. Due to not having ample rest the night before, I was already dozing off minutes after we boarded the intercity train. And to be frank, I was freezing to death with the cold air blowing from above and was fidgeting in my seat throughout the ride. **Argh, my side profile is really very ugly** Thanks to EC.

*Wynyard*

Our first destination. We spotted the MAS office miraculously not getting lost, apparently our sense of direction wasn't so bad after all. Haha..To think someone spent a good 8 hours searching for it. XD After which, we travelled back to Central and head towards our second destination.

*Chinatown*

This was where we headed to fill our grumbling tummies. There's so many to choose from and we dunno where to start. We all agreed on having something we can't have boring old Newbie, this was what we had. ROAST PORK~! A sense of nostalgia struck me, I really wish I had a handkerchief to bite onto and cry, like those pathetic person in animes XD. After each of us took turns visiting the washroom, we head towards YHA and fortunately we got a room for the night.
JL and EC fancied sleeping on the upper bed, so MK and I had to stick to the bed beneath them. The room cost us AUD34.50 per pax and I think it was a pretty reasonable price. The dinner we had wasn't merely as scrumptious as the roast lunch we had. Besides, I was positive that the waitress had an apparent intention of having us outta there after finishing our plates. Despise her doing so.

Oh ya..We also dropped by Darling Harbour before dinner. It was really a spectacular view of the wharf there, and gosh I really wish I could go for the Sydney Aquarium. Haha.. However, we did pop by the same souvenir shop thrice. Funny huh? Both MK and I hadn't had any photo taken at the wharf, thus we were saying that as though we were never there at that moment if compared to EC, JL and William.

*Circular Quay*
Our last destination before we leave for boring old Newbie.

2006-10-01T22:57:00.000-07:00

Sherry

**Finally!**

I just couldn't believe it.. We finally survived through the impossible, 5 reports in a week- Beat that!

After a tiring week and with holiday around the corner, it's high time we celebrate. And what more to do than our favourite past time here at boring Newbie -- Alcohol. This time we chose to try out sweet sherry, having a content of alcohol up to 18%. Oh ya, my lemon chicken was a success too. Juz wait, I'll open up a restaurant to beat "Oceanic"! Muahahaha..Oops..

**Stick back to the sherry part**

My tolerance to alcohol was really pathetic man~!Only a few slurp and *dong*..on the verge of being drunk!Face was turning red like a baboon's butt..

Perhaps MK didn't mention, I was really a sure loser! I admit! Was my bad..took the card game too seriously. Come to think of it, really was silly of me. Sorry ya MK.

EC was the best amongst us all at drinking. She really didn show any changes after drinking the most..Thumbs up for EC.William and YM didn wanna drink, so the penalty for them was juz plain H2O. But we all had a great time.

2006-09-30T05:56:00.000-07:00

At the beach again~!

Haha.. The beach again. I lurve it here! Sea breeze swipes away my miseries whereas the waves splash away my sorrows. And what's more, to share this splendid time at the beach with my beloved friends, MK, JL and EC.

We made it there in one piece! That's something to brag about, since it's our first bus trip.Quite expensive though.And praise god for having such a lovely weather.JL and EC brought their swimming gear and so hastily they changed in the ladies whilst MK and I juz went in with the clothes we wore. There was a lot of splashing and shouting and in the end everyone was wet. Having enuf of the very salty sea water, we sat on the beach shivering as the breeze blew towards us.

EC then "volunteered",I think, for the one to be buried in the sand. We started our progress by burying her and I start making the mermaid's tail for her. She was giggling every now and then, making the sands tumbling off her. Funny though, she offered for a hourglass shaped figure, but we end up giving her a totally "out" figure, like a surfboard. Wakekeke. Feeling sorry for her to have to endure us for so long.Strangely though, I fancy the sign which says "Submerged Objects"

MK and JL was hunk-hunting for a sec there, but the search ended up in vain as they responded that there was none in sight. HAha. But they seem to notice some on the way back. I was freaking hungry on the way back and hunted for food before we embarked on the journey back. We certainly had a great time, and looking forward to the next trip to the beach.

2006-09-16T08:43:00.000-07:00

A day at the beach

Aww... Do we hafta leave so soon?

It's my second trip to the beach and I must say I do really love being there

*No wonder JL went all nuts when overhearing the word BEACH* XD

As we approach te shop, the aroma of fresh baked waffle was actually tingling down my spine. How I miss the times when we bake in the kitchen and end up messing up the whole place. There was a diverse variety of ice-cream to choose from and I really dunno where to start!

"Can I have a scoop of every flavor please?" MK say I'm nuts when I told her so.

In the end, I chose the same flavour as she did- English Toffee. A single scoop was more than enuf, as a matter of fact, it seemed to me as though we had double scoop. Can't possibly imagine how triple scoop helping would be. I mean, WOW!

With the ice cream in our hand, we walked towards the beach. It was kinda cloudy and the wind was definitely blowing hard. EC and JL claimed that eating ice cream made them feel colder as the wind blow. So both of them stood at a spot of sunshine till they finished their ice cream. JL even had her sock on when she went, how odd.. Proves that indeed the weather was too much for them. Being the polar bears, MK and I just stood there allowing the breeze to embrace us.

Gels

Compare these two gels:

Haha.. Needless to say then! Definitely the one on the RIGHT..

Yoohoo! We finally got some pretty good bands today~

Rinngg.. *Toot*

HM: Hello

MK: HM! Big Problem~!

HM: What?! What happened?

MK: The voltage for the gel was 76V (Instead of being 120V) No wonder the bands are not going down.

HM: HARH?!!!!

(At that moment, I was absolutely positive that I was on the verge of killing myself..)

...

DEMON: What are you guys doing? Why are you loading the wells 1 then 3? What happens to two?

JL, EC, MK, HM: ....

DEMON: How many samples do you guys have?

MK: 1?

Further pesterin from DEMON made MK bloated out:" I'M SO CONFUSED NOW~!!"

DEMON: You can't be confused! bla bla bla~

(Frankly I think her purpose of being there is definitely not helping at all)

DEMON: Then what are you loading in well 2?

MK: Native sample buffer?

DEMON: And why would you be doing that?

JL, EC, MK, HM: ....

DEMON: You must know what you're doing.. bla bla bla (There she goes again)

HM: We do that to stop the bands from smearing onto each other.

DEMON: ... *nodded* bla bla bla.. (Finally walked away..PHEW!!)

(P/S: DEMON is the abbreviation I use to annotate the lab demonstrator, that's why DEMON..No offense..Not really meant as in evil)

The Fight

Called home today. After MK's burfdae, I was in a pretty gud mood. Surprise surprise surprise. It's a nice surprise for MK, yet a bad one for me. Mum didn't wanna talk to me much today, she hung up juz instantly. My spy told me that she had a terrible fight with dad. Dun really got the idea what actually caused the fight, but at least she shud tell me when I called. Instead she confide to someone else and not me. Did she think that it'll burden me to worry about them, or has I been a burden to her that she don't wan to tell me anything anymore?

My fragile heart shattered into pieces.

2006-08-27T06:04:00.000-07:00

MK's burfdae

The preparation begun (well strictly speaking) when we went w/o MK to buy the puzzle card at Charlestown, spent a considerably long time weaving in and out of shops trying to get the perfect present for her. When I mean "considerably long time", I meant "very very very long time".. HAha.. Well, our day was fruitless as we ended up buying only the card. And also lotsa explaining to do when she started suspecting us for not letting her know 'bout the trip.

Then, when we're really out of ideas on getting the perfect gift for her, someone came up with the idea of origami stars(Either EC or JL, dun actually noe who). Sounds plain and old-fashioned to some of you, but it was really a great idea to begin with. EC and JL went thru all the hard choices choosing for the color sheets and produced most of the stars.(Courtesy to Nic for the bottle though)

Our preparation for the day however began around 4, where we anxiously prepare the dishes. JL was busy drying out the last bit of H2O from her pork but to no avail. While she kept saying that her dish would not turn out successful, EC was spicing things up and was mumbling "Die la Die la" non-stop.

Oh ya..TS, you might wanna be more careful with the popper

2006-08-25T10:37:00.000-07:00

My package arrived!

2 parcels adding up to a total of 9+kg..

Walking from Hunter's Building to Barahineban seems a very long way back. And with the two boxes in hand, I was totally out of breath when I reached my doorstep. Albeit the weight, these two parcel actually switched my mood swing. Mum's cutie handwriting sure brings back the familiar times when I leaned by and watched mum write. Delicately, I opened the first parcel, tearing off every bit of paper scrapped on it.

WOW~! Mum sure packed a lot of stuff in here.. There's fish essence, instant porridge, instant fried rice mix, chrysanthemum tea and..soft candy. Haha~ My heart's filled with warmth already.. Thankz a lot MUM, for goin thru all the trouble mailing these to me..Lurve you!! Mwaxx~

2006-08-24T04:06:00.000-07:00

Finally..

YEaPie!

WE the "Fantastically Slow Four" are slow no more! Well at least for the few lab sessions that we had this week.. Let's hope we won't have to reclaim the title.YET

We're doing okay in the labs so far, except for the immunonology lab session..Well, to be precise, it's juz me that seems to be pressurized by the session. Prolly I'm really scare that I would mess things up and eventually have other members into hot boiling water. After the first session that we had, I was really terrified that the isolation might end up isolating nothing at all. By going to the lab unprepared is definitely not the wise thing to do. Broke out cryin after having to endure the fear all night..

Thankz to JL for preparing the feast to cheer me up. Thankz for tolerating me and hope we won't end up fighting. We won't wanna lose the bet rite?

After a whole night of struggling, I'm finally getting more and more of a grouch..Luckily I didn lose my final straw..perhaps I would say luckily no one's getting on my nerve..^v^

The deadline is up tomorrow..and we're still shopping at the local supermarket without haste.. Procrastination, I should say..At this moment, I think four of us would REALLY like to doze off on our beds, through the portal of fantasies. But we CAN'T~! Might as well get going and pray that I could really finish all of it in time. That is what we call a miracle.

True enough, I wasn't able to. Sometime during the late hours, my lurvely aunt chatted with me, telling me the problems that she's encountering. Gastricitis. Her worst nightmare she says. I know. Been watching her these years taking those awfully dreadful herb medicine, watchin her sometimes have a very painful struggle when it strikes. Don't know how to really solve her problems though I REALLY wish I could solve them.

Finally, it's already 6am in the morning. Alas, I can't take it anymore.Without haste, my dog-bone plushie embraced me as I finally lay down my fatigue body. Yet the time clicks by as though we're flying thru a time portal within seconds to another dimension of space. It was 10am before you know it. HOW exactly would the presentation turn out when I haven't prepared ANYTHING at all?!!

The flow diagram I did was lyk entirely weird, juz full of crap and all techniques squeezed in it. Sure get bombarded by ** next week about it. Heck. No matter, what matters most now is our presentation. With speed of lightnin I scanned through the info, and finally it was time to go for IT. We are late as usual, luckily they haven't really start anything yet. Five min past one, the first group presented. Followed by the second, then the third....The minutes ticked away slowly, everything seemed to be playing pranks on us. By the time the fourth group was presenting, we're already dozing off..Our system's preparing for hibernation. With brains jammed with information, we already ran out of questions to ask. I wasn't really concentrating sometime, even as I did some of the time, I was unable to think of a question as well. Sorry about tht.

Alas, it's finally our turn to present. We proceed to the front and it began and finished within a flash. I started with a not very clear introduction then proceeded to my part. Miraculously, I wasn't trembling but was more tongue-tied than ever. "Pcecip-- Preciptet--Precopita..tion" My colleagues did pretty okay though they all was saying how bad they were in the presentation. I really should apologise to them for my initial intention was to help ease their burden but in the end I messed it up..BIG TIME~! Sorry guys..

The Last Group

Perspiring

We quicken our pace

praying hard not to

Yet

made another mistake

Geez~

Stop asking me

what I'm doing

Stop confusing me

Frustrating really

to mess things up

to be not able to cope

as well as others

Laughters

Chit-Chats were heard

from the other end o' the room

as though others whistle

while they work

Four hours ticked by

and we're still not done

for the day

Half past five

We made it to the

finishing line

As we walk

we sighed with grief

of being the last

in every session

We are officially known as

---Drum Rolls---

the "Fantastically Slow Four"!
