Thoughts i have to pen (blog) down...

In the midst of my struggle and immense reluctance to work on a a very crucial assignment,..Thoughts about my friends and the feelings they have evoked came suddenly..And i have to blog it...

Friends are so important to me and i must say they play such a huge part in my life..especially my emotions, thoughts, moods, the way i am, decisions...and just so many aspects where my limited command of the english language cannot describe enough..Of cos some friends do disappoint too..and some may say, these pple are not considered friends if they could evoke such an emotion in me..well..i dont know too...Friends are meant to be there for one another, to support and encourage and be not judge...of cos that is largely dependent on the depth of friendship...

Finally mustered the courage to ask for a friend's msn and msged her after the childish me (that was in the days where irc prgram was so popular, at least for me) decided to ignore her because of some stupid gal friend issue..Dont know why i just had this impluse to do it..well, not a silly act..it was something i wanted to do long time ago but didnt have the time and courage to do it, cos i was afraid she would still be angry with me and i didnt want my apology to be rejected flatly..:) All is gd now, at least for me..cos i did manage to talk to her and seems like the long time problem has been resolved..yeahh..

It was gd to see a friend so delighted when she got a little surprise from me..it just feels so good when i see my friends happy...i feel happy too..:)

Another gal friend have been so troubled by the infamous emotion so powerful that all Man succumb to at one point or another..~love~. It feels terrible when you know that shes gonna be the one to be so hurt in the end, however, she feels happy with the decision she has made and is truly happy for some time...but now, the decision she has made is taking its toll on her..and shes all sad and weary..sighzz..She has seen it coming sooner or later, but was too emotionally involved to pull herself up before it came to this stage..I feel for her..I couldnt bring myself to tell her she shouldnt have gotten deeper into it..and now its hurting her..The least i can do is to be there for her and listen...and to tide through the dark times with her...I hope the dark skies will be over soon..

One of my long lost friend i have been thinking abt finally came online!! Hehe..boy, am i happy to catch up wif him..though it was only for a few mins..it was gd to hear he has been and is doing well and working towards his interests and goals in life!! This friend of mine is such a wacky fella and never fails to irritate me to the core when i hang out wif him haha..nevertheless, he is still one of the gd guy friends i can talk to! Way to go dude!! Total support to him in his future endeavours!!

To another friend that had suddenly been keeping in contact after losing it for so many yrs..he has been feeling down lately too and his nicks on msn are worrying..Many a times, I would have loved to keep you company online..however unable to due to my assignments and sianz moods...I hope the dark skies will clear up for you soon and may you find a gal that could bring you the joy and love u deserve ya! hehehe...

...Such are the thoughts and emotions of Jo...

Drained..

Drained is the word..to have to be stressed up for the whole day at attachment and then come home and do somemore work. Sighz, have got a presentation tmr somemore..going to die from stress already..Of cos, the morning started with a shooting from my supervisor...then at the end of the day, also kena maligned..This is how it went, i was supposed to page her once i am done seeing all the pts i had for the day and give her her a run down of what i have done for each pt..I juz gotta sit down in the office and was about to page her..then suay suay, she past and saw me. Before i can open my mouth to say anything, she said this : ' Oh so you are here, you should just have paged me instead of sitting around waiting for mi!' Like what the?!! I was so pek cek, i said to her defiantly, ' I was about to page you!!!' then she jus went ' oh issit'...wahlau ay..Being on this placement has taught me to be smart..to be able to explain myself well and tell them whatever i have thought through and done..Cos to them, something not presented to them or said means I NEVER DO, I NEVER THOUGHT ABT IT.
They are supposed to be non- judgemental!! And its one of the ethics of being a dietitian loh!! And i m sure in most health care professions..In fact, to me, we should live with that kind of principle too wat!! sighzz..
I have also learnt that we should cut pple some slack..to give pple a chance to explain themselves before judging...and also not to be so uptight about pple's misdoings...Have also learnt that it is important to speak with tact to pple around us..and not expect pple around me to know what I have gone through even though it was a really bad bad day for myself and that my moods are really affected...the poor innocent pple around me are definitely not going to know wats going on, Can imagine how offended or sad my friends will be like if i suddenly just talk to them in a curt way or just simply give black face when they have simply no idea what had gone wrong....
So i am sorry my friends if i have done that to you all before..I will keep this in mind and always learn to be more patient and try to change!! :)

Oh yah..its Jialiang's bday today..Happy Birthday Jialiang!

Boring sat

Hmm..yesh its a boring day. Slept in till 1 pm, got up and did some preparation for bloody blue monday..It was still alrite for last nite's party..managed to boogie a little for the initial part of the session..and the music became less and less boogie-able and unfamiliar..People start to fall asleep or knocked out by the overdose of alcohol. I didnt feel much of it till i reached home..3 drinks and i was already feeling it. Blame it on the lack of drinking for the past mth!!
Though the music wasnt that gd, it was gd to see my friends though..Left at around 2 plus and with much persuasion from Xueling and i, we managed to coerce the guys to drop by at Macs for some food..

I felt much happier yest nite..like i told my friends, i always feel withdrawn the next day after a nite's clubbing session when i m here..

Emptiness and detached was how i felt..a friend told me its gd that you do try to share whatever that has been going on in ur life..i dont blame you..but i cant help feeling left out..perhaps it is the loneliness, maybe its a saturday and i am not anywhere but stuck in the room preparing for reporting to my supervisor which i dont look forward to cos it means more bombarding and being pointed out to a zillion things i have missed out..the brief reporting tone i hear over the fone dont make mi any happier and enthusiatic to share my experience last nite..u didnt even ask...

Selfish and keeping you in a freezer till i go back were your quotes..As far as i know myself, i m not definitely not as bad as you deem me in that tactless sentence..

Another week has gone past..yayy..

It finally friday..think my blogs on fri are gonna have this kinda similar opening line! Friday marks the end of the torturous week and the beginning of the wonderful wkends! I dont want to end up with a job that i will feel miserable for the whole of the wkdays and only think about the wkends..Oh well..dont think so much..gotta be able to graduate first!! Aiyah, nothing interesting to blog abt this week..cos attachment sux!! Just glad that its another week gone!!

Beginning of another attachment

Tommorrow marks the day of another block of placement..its gonna last for 5 weeks..this time, its clinical placement..Hmm..i dont feel anything abt it right now..i dont know if its gd or bad...of cos i hope it will go well...Mum is in perth for holidays..she just smsed mi, telling me she went for fishing, and one of my aunt had sea sick while shes fine..and got heaps of fish..can have yu sheng..haha shes funnie lah..Hmm..i miss my mum..I am proud of her..to me, shes such a capable woman..single handledly raised mi, and able to send mi here for studies ( yesh i m beginning to feel guilty for all that complaints and contemplation of giving up) and has a career of her own despite the fact that she didnt have so called established qualifications...and she has a great sense of humour! hehe..She always make mi laugh with her corny jokes and i enjoy listening to her experiences and incidents at work...However, do stay clear when shes in one of her bad moods man...she has got a fiery temper! haha..

Must take the signage to show that i have been there! hhaha..

hehe..Kawaii! Japan?!

Surfers Paradise!!

Taiwanese Grilled Chicken Rice!!

My home for the 3 1/2 days in Brisbane

Yayy..satisfied shoppers from Harbourtown

Finally learning how to play mahjong!

The 24hr pancake house..used to be a church

Bananarama pancake at 3 am!

In brisbane..

Its my 3rd day hereee..and its awsome! Havnt had the time to blog since the first day i reached here..Just came back from Harbourtown..its a hub with a lot of warehouses!! Hiakz..and i spent $30 oni..in which i bought 2 caps, a pouch and a top!! hehe..so cheappp...really happy with my purchases boy...Will be going to sugin's place later..then clubbing i think...Yeah..let mi try to recall what i did on the first day before i forget...will post some pics later when cheryl sends them to me when i get back..
First day - Thanks to sugin and greg for fetching mi from the airport..then went to this shopping centre called Indoroophilly for lunch..then headed to cheryl's place in the city...walked to the Southbank to catch a movie with cheryl and her friends..watched The pacifier..which was really funny and lighthearted..and i enjoyed it!!
2nd day - Was supposed to have a picnic at the botanic gardens but there was a slight drizzle before we left home..so we ended up eating at home haha..fortunately, the skies cleared and we set off to the botanic garden anyhow and toured around QUT..the building is so much newer than my uni..and cos its v near the botanic garden, it gave a very serene and relaxed feeling to it..The botanic garden is along the Brisbane River...Then we headed to Gold coast, surfers paradise!! Heheh..thanks to luke, who drove us there and back..and at the end of the trip, he was complaining of a stiff knee..hehe..thanks so much dude...Yeah..Gold coast was gd!! It felt like i was in California..opp the beautiful beach, was a hub of shops and al fresco dining...and as we walked further up, there was a jap corner where there were so many jap restuarants!! heeh will post a pic of it..and i really felt i was in japan for awhile! hahaha...then dinner was at Sunny bank...Sunny bank was the equivalent of a town center for asians..there were supermarkets, shops and restuarants owned by koreans, taiwanese, japanese..and we felt we were at china/taiwan for a bit hahahaha...dinner was gd cos i was ravenous with hunger!! I had grilled chicken chop rice from this taiwanese shop...then as it was a friday, there was sth like a night market at southbank, the same area where i watched the movie on the first day...got some earrings and i must say it was a really nice place...think cool air, relaxed..joyful singing by buskers...warm lighting...lake...yeah...it was really nice..
Then we headed down to this club called Embassy...cheryl's frens were all gathered at her place and waiting for 12 am...cos apparently Amy (cheryl's fren) said that the clubs will be opened after 12am..cos of Easter...ya..at first we thought the clubs were gonna be closed cos the entire city was like a dead town when we went down earlier to the 7-11..Oh yah, i must add, cheryl lives in the city..which is so convenient and accessible...her apartment is really nice too...double storeyed with 2 bed rooms, a living rm, a balcony, kitchen, 2 bathrooms...cool...The club was ok lah..the music wasnt fantastic but i enjoyed myself anyhow...
Yeah..Ok lah..i gotta go down to meet sugin and greg...will blog later with pics..hopefully!

Last day of my first block of attachment here..

Yayy..its the last day of my food service attachment! And also 2nd last day of going to uni for lectures..i think i like to attend lectures..in big lecture halls..haha..too bad those lecture hall days were long gone since yr 2..Lectures have been held in small tutorial rooms since last sem..prolly cos of the small grp we have..
I will be going Brisbane tmr..for a short break..as i was packing, i thought to myself if it was gonna be a gd choice to go for a holiday..no, nothing to do with my girlies i am gonna meet there..i am looking forward to it, no doubt abt that gals!! hehe....just that as i was reading through my assignment, i felt guilty..its gonna be due on the same week i return and each qn has got to be answered in around 2 - 3 pages!! there are like 5 questions!! On top of that, i will start another hellish placement on tues man...
Oh velz..thought i should bring my notes there haha..to make myself feel less guilty and hopefully attempt a qn or two..if theres time..i doubt so man..cheryl has oredi told mi we are going shopping tmr afternoon..then later she asked if i wanted to go ktv at nite...haha..greg and sugin have so kindly offered to pick mi up from the airport and are gonna have lunch together...
It feels gd inside to be loved by friends and that they are looking forward to meeting you...:)

The wkends just zoomed past..

Wah, i cannot believe it..Its time for me to sleep soon..the wkends just zoomed past like that..Must be the half day burnt at work on Sat.but at least we managed to go shopping at Charlestown after that..I had a hard time trying to decide what to eat for lunch, in the end i settled for oporto's grilled 1/4 chicken meal..and only when i set down to eat then i realised that it was wat dearie ordered when he came over to visit! hehe..that certainly makes the meal even more delicious...After we have filled our stomachs, it was shopping time! Guess i was tired out by the whole week's work and early waking times..plus the heavy bag i had to lug around..i was so sleepy and tired throughout the whole thing..Managed to buy a pair of striped pants that cost oni $15! haha..and a pair of leggings for colder days to wear with my skirts...
Then sunday came..did some work..watched Constantine...this is my 2nd time watching it and those fuzzy parts became much clearer this time..hah..mi slow lah...and yes i mus mention, its my babi's convocation today!! Congrats dearie..its a pity i cannot be there but nevertheless i m very happy and proud of u! hehe..Though its not some PhD but still u worked hard and deserved it...so yeahhh!! Sighz..cannot wait for my own...Su, my cousin had her convo not long ago too, murdoch..and she has got no hat or watever u call that..the square thingee...how weird is that..she said UWA dont have also...but curtin has haha..and shes excited abt it...( shes doing another degree at curtin) ya..wahlau..how can she do another degree without a long long break?!! Definitely not for me man!!

Alrite..time to sleep..missing jeff again...

Rainy...

Its raining now..hope its not the start of the dreadful winter, not so soon pls..Winter makes me feel so gloomy..Though not winter yet, but i feel moody...Have been feeling like this for the past few days...Words like incompetent, useless, slow just comes to my mind when i think of myself..Really felt so demoralised..And all the more makes mi feel that i shldnt be here in the first place...Sighz..
Think i like to blog at night...Nightfall makes mi think..it makes mi miss as well..oh well...night is also the time when Jeff calls...But he hasnt called yet...perhaps he is busy...
I just wish for everyone to be happy..including myself...soon...

Lessons they never taught in lectures..

Before i came over for studies, i was more or less prepared to be faced with loneliness, to be more independent, and all that stuff pple will tell you before you go over..however no one told mi the content on the following lessons:

Lesson 1 : To learn how to ASK FOR help..
When you are in a foreign land, be prepared to ask for help, when i say help, i really mean help in all ways..they can include transport to attachment place at an unearthly hr ie 6am, space to just store your stuff for some time ie your belongings or food, someone to open your new spaghetti sauce jar ..and be humble..cos if you r too proud to ask for help, either you are v capable that you can handle everything, or you just cant get things done.

Lesson 2: To bug the pple here till you get what you want, i mean in terms of service especially.
No offence to the pple down under..but true personal experiences and a recent one of kavi, she gotta bug the IT pple for almost a week to get her internet up when they could settle it like less than 10 mins..And to think that they actually suggested they will need 3 days to get it done..my gdness..that also applies to repairing of spoilt fridges...in our room!! My gdness, the fridge had already been spoilt for a week, that is before we moved in..and now its oredi the 2nd week and still no new fridge..again..we had to bug our way to a small single compartment fridge that is placed just bside my table..that will nicely lead us to lesson 3..

Lesson 3: Be prepared that you have to attend to leaking fridges..
As i have mentioned, we have got a temporary fridge while the people here take a million yrs to get a new one...it was set at too cold a temperature cos we found our vegs, tofu etc frozen..so we raised the temp..But alas, the fridge decided to melt on us and flooded our food with water..arrgghh..so you have to learn to place tupperwares strategically to catch the falling water, place your foods in plastic bags to protect them and also to turn down the temperature again..

Life is just full of experiences isn't? Till then..wif more lessons...lol...

I wonder...

I have never questioned if my friends around me will be there for me or not in times of trouble..Rather, i presume some will..that is those who are really close to me...Its not because i feel i deserve it, however i have this faith that the friendships we have built are strong and are able to go through thick and thin with me..just like how that attitude is in me for my close friends.. To have your friend go through thick and thin with you unconditionally is indeed a rare find...and its when they really go through the hard times and not only just mere words...

And how about ur family and loved ones: spouse/ partner? Have you ever wondered if they will throw you in the lurch where you need help the most? Stories I have heard are of pple in the family avoiding some relatives because of money problems..gf leaving his bf because he lost his job...same goes for the married..Yes, vows are exchanged when you have decided to walk the aisle with the one, however, can all of us really take the test and reality when problems really crop up? I guess no one can for sure say yes they will..including myself...

I admire those who have the patience and strength to go through all hardships with the people they love even though they have personal burdens as well...i really do...

Back in newcastle..

Sighz..i m back in australia oredi..just got back this afternoon..Everything just happened so quickly that i feel like im dreaming..yest nite, i was still at home with jeff and my family..and now im back here, stuck in this horrible place, be faced with all the work and stress that will be rushing our way...
Ya..everyone says 3 mths is gonna zip past, i wished it will go past faster..or rather i hate this transition period the most..getting used to torture from bliss..
Anyway i must comment that the flight back here today wasnt very pleasant..cos there was so much turbulence!! and we even got awoken by the violent shaking in the middle of our sleep...so scary...and after that, everytime the plane shook, my heart will beat faster..
And the weather is getting cold again..i suspect i have totally forgotten about it and packed the wrong clothes here!! sighz..hope not man...
Sianz..need to go back to sch tmr and report back to the lecturer about our attachment in singapore, take my stuff from storage, go supermarket..kaoz..so many things to do!!

2nd last day of torture!

Hello pple..long time no blog!! No time no time!! yeah but anyway its the 2nd last day of the torture!! You can imagine how relieved i am boy!!
Ok lah..gotta go oredi, if not i will be late for work again..over slept for the past 2 days..Will blog again ya...

Retail therapy

Been a long time since i have met up with mich..finally got the chance just now...Dinner was at Ajisen..this made it the 2nd visit there..not bad lah..but the portions were so big!! Oni ate 1/3 of it and felt so full liaoz...Decided to walk walk around and i bought a top from esprit!! Thanks to mich to her esprit card and the $8 voucher..original price was 29.90..hehe after discount..it was oni 18 plus..Mich bought a white polo tee which i didnt look as gd as she did in..sighz..have to continue searching liaoz...
Then, the crowd at mphosis caught our eye and being shopping queens, we zoomed into the shop and to our delight, there was a sale that just started today!! hehe..so mphosis lovers..pls hurry down now LOL...50 - 70% wor!! Shoes and bags as well huh!! Mich got a brown tank top and i got a dark green cardigan!! Both at 50%!!! *happy*
Yeah..at least something to cheer me up cos i have got to work till 4.30 pm tmr!! Boo hoo hooo...and i havnt prepared the slides for nez monday's presentation!! ARRGGHHH...time to do them now..sianz..

Regrets..

New Year was good ...cos it meant being away from the slavery and stress at attachment. Its now 6.45 am and im typing this while having my breakfast..Sighz.having to do this bloody irritating attachment simply took away all my freedom and precious time left in singapore. And after sucky monday ( that bloody bitch did her stuff again), i have quite agreed that it might have been better if i did it back in newcastle and indeed a mistake to have taken up this course.Ya, i know you guys will say aiyah why wait till the last yr then say this man...but sighz..really..i am not made up to be a dietitian lor..and because of the money factor, i cant say i want to change course just like that..cos then mum will be disappointed..relatives will question, blah blah..sighz...and changing the course means the high possibility of having to take a longer time to graduate..
Now, i am oni full of regrets and sian ness..gotta go oredi..just kill mi man...sighz..

Reunion dinner

Just came in to update a little cos i realised i havnt been blogging for a long time..hmm..work is still the same..stressful and boring..went chinatown alone yesterday to get some decorations for the house..Hmm..that was the first time i went there alone..and it felt good! Hahaha..must be the festive season...
Then after dinner, jeff suggested going to River Angbao..Hmm..nothing special, same as the previous years actually...
Okok..i gotta go now..need to help mum prepare for the dinner...will blog again...
Happy reunion pple!!

Good experiences at work

2nd day at work..As usual, i dragged myself to work..feeling even more sleepy than the first day..When we entered the office, we were told we were gonna follow the dietitians on their rounds.That perked me up so much i tell ya..From the rounds, i have learned much more and really glad i got to see how the dietitian handled the patients. She was so different from the other dietitians i have worked with..she had compassion and truly cared for the ailing patients.. However, i can't elaborate on any patients details cos its against our work ethics...

Supervisor was as nosy as ever and was forever keeping an eye on us..:( Her presence in the office really made everyone less chirpy and pressured..she was like a hawk...

However, i wasnt as lonely for dinner today cos it is mum's off day and so happened that jeff called when i was on the way home..so we had dinner at the hawker centre...ordered sambal kangkong ( all time fav), claypot tofu, cereal prawns and pork ribs...everything tasted delicious except for the prawns which was to my greatest disappointment..cos those who know mi very well should know that i loveee prawns...the dish was so lousy that i even refused the last piece which on most occasions never happens when it comes to dishes with prawns!!
Nevertheless, it felt good eating with both mum and jeff...;p

Unhappy

Attachment started today..sighz..its a 5 and a half day week..how sianz is that..heavy workload..high expectations..NO PAY..END OF MY HOLIDAYS... SUX

Aging..

Was chatting with my mum last nite, well, the topic of our conversation was about the lunch i had with jeff and his parents at her restaurant..She said she could feel a slight tinge of awkwardness when she went over to our table..i gotta keep it confidential cos it isnt something to be known to everyone so no details here..However, from the conversation, i have truly understood how a person with more life experiences can have a better judgement of things..the way they handle matters are definitely more apt than a younger person...this is prolly the reason why we should respect our elders...cos they are wiser than us!!
This is the last week of my slacking..and yet im at home...:( Well, to me, being at home means having to put up with the frequent complaints from my grandparents about their aches, poor health, issues with the maid etc..Well, with my short fuse..i get agitated and angry and talk back rudely and angrily to them...Only after calming down, do i regret my harsh tone i have used on the grandparents that dote on me the most among their grandchildren, the ones that have seen me grown up from a tod till now..sighz..but its really hard to handle when day in day out, u hear they quarrelling over small issues..they complain to you how bored they are..and even abt death to him is better ( grandad)...
Here we are trying to make life comfortable for them..there they are dissatisfied with everything...Aging brings you wrinkles..poor health..degeneration of gray matter...change of character..depression..boredom.abandonment..and unawareness of being long winded and naggy...sighz..
Growing old is scary isnt? Seeing my grandparents, esp my grandad..i only wish for myself to age gracefully...

What Age Do You Act?

You Are 21 Years Old

21 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Been sick..

Been sick for almost 2 weeks..luckily i decided to stop eating the medicine prescribed to me by the first doc i visited and consulted another doctor..Guess the antibiotics helped a great deal.hopefully i will have fully recovered by tomorrow..
Was supposed to go for a medical conference at AH this morning at 7.45 am under the instructions of the head dietitian..But then she said she got the dates wrongly..so didnt need to go! Hiakz..happy man..Sighz..i am already hating my attachment..doing work before it has even started...:(
Caught ' Hotel Rwanda' just now..its such a great movie!! Based on a true story and there werent any frills or special effects..what had made it so great was how the movie had portrayed the harshness of reality, the cruelty of discrimination because of colour and how great love for his people can be...Good show man!! I was so touched that i almost cried..but had to hold back my tears cos didnt wan to ruin my make up ! haha..
Got a new couple ring today from Nouveau at PS...but ended up in some argument with him...Because of some disagreement of views and the way we perceived certain things...Aiyah.felt he was being exceptionally annoying and impatient today..

Sudden insomnia

Arrgghh..i went to bed earlier at 2 plus and now i am up again 5 hrs later! And just because i simply cannot get to sleep!! After the chilling session with some new friends at this All Blues pub ( spotted Jaime Teo), i headed home and got ready for bed..Sighz..just as i thought i will be able to get some snooze before waking up at around 8.30am ( actually set my alarm at this time), i found it hard to get to sleep!! Tossed and turned..fell asleep then woke up again after a mins for the whole of the freaking 5 hrs..i gave up and came online to check my mail and to vent my frustruations here!! arrgghhh...I hope i dont fall sicker later in the day man...with this lack of sleep and combination of a sore throat and a cough :(
I hardly suffer from sleepless nights..*TOUCH WOOD*..Only happens when i am anticipating the next day..ie exams, CNY ( haha yeah, when i was much younger), my bday ( same goes when i was younger)...Aiyoh..but why today??!!!
I remembered discussing this with 2 of my friends abt this issue..and what amused me the most is that they will both cry haha cos they are too irritated with the fact that they cant get to sleep!!! Driven with desperation, one of them said she had tried eating flu medicine for the drowsiness LOL, and other methods include watching tv and reading...Oh ya she will also wake her mum up wahahahha..cos she said she is annoyed at the fact that others can sleep yet she can't!!
Hehe..i won't cry cos i cannot sleep..neither will i pop those medicine i have at present though they are really potent esp the ones for my aches..i shan't wake my mum up cos she needs the rest for the long day ahead of her at work..i dont feel like reading the books i borrowed from Pauline..I cant watch tv cos tv 1 is in the living room and will wake my grandparents up ( def not a gd idea), tv 2 is in my mum's rm ( same reason from the above) alamaks..
I am left with nothing to induce sleep man!!!
Sighz nvm lah..half an hr has passed as i am typing this and i am away from my designated waking time by just an hr..shall go and read other blogs...
*wonders why am i not sleepy*

Quiet week..

This week has been a rather quiet one..maybe cos im sick..sighz..sianz..the sudden bout of cold, cough and fever...It has been 2 days since i have stepped out of my hse..so sianzz..all i do is to sleep and eat..and the supposedly non drowsy medicine still has effect on mi! And i feel feeble and drowsy the entire day!! Had to call off the dates i made with mabel yest and today's with kavi, rara, grace and shanz..sighz..
I must get well by tmr!! I dont have time to be sick !! The dreaded 31st of jan is drawing nearer and that means my freedom is also slowly going to end..sobz..

Oh..i must mention i met up with my sec sch eca mates last sunday..At first, i felt a little awkward cos it has been such a long time since i have met up with them..but those feelings i have were in vain cos there werent any sense of awkwardness whatsoever at all!! 10 of us turned up..and all of them except me and yiping are working...sighz..Being with them brought back alot of memories we had as we spent every saturday together having footdrill, first aid and evacuation classes..and then we will gather in the RC room to gossip, change etc..then we will head down to parkway for lunch hahaha.. those were the days huh...and i also rem when i had to go down to the headquarters for the evacuation course every saturday and my mum would complain that i spend wayy too much time in my eca and thus neglecting my studies..hehe..aiyah if her daughter is not bright huh..staying at home every weekend wont fetch gd results also lah...hahaha

Hmm..maybe i should go and search my sec sch photos and reminisce those days..hehe..

Unhappy..

I am unhappy. ..Sighz..Why do people have to use sarcasm in their speech? Does it really make them happier? I am a person that takes speech, words very seriously..sighz..i wish i can take that in my stride rather than being affected by the slightest harshness in words my frens, my family or loved ones say..Its just me.. i cannot help it..i hate this weakness of mine...sighz..

Outing with my girly!!

Hehe.. another shopping day with my ms cheryl...Of cos..cheryl was forever looking for her silver belt and shoes and bag..well, the former is really quite rare liaoz loh..then she happily added another thing to her list..green belt!! Ay, come to think of it..she can use our uniform's belt wat!! wahahhaha...
But of cos..as i have mentioned..its really quite hard to find that mafan coloured belt..so didnt get any..instead..she bought other stuff lah.hahaha..and i was forced to buy this pink top from mango..*hears cheryl saying' it makes u look hot!!' * ya lah..thanks to her for so called forcing me to buy it..its really quite nice...hehe..thanks dear ger...
Oh yah..and we had lunch and dinner at cineleisure..hehe..but different food outlets...at the end of our shopping expedition..my legs ached so much..sighz..i m getting old...but im quite happy lah with my purchases..if i ignore the aches in my heart and wallet..hahaha...

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Heyaa..Happy New Year Everyone!! New yr's eve was a blast..I had soooo much fun!! Hiakz..The girls decided to spend the nite at Mdm Wong while the guys chose to go to this pub called Under One Roof at Tanjong Pagar..(how boring). Well, as expected the cover was jacked up to $38 per person, inclusive of one free drink..but i didnt regret going in boy..It was sooo funnnn!! Though the dance floor was really packed, the atmosphere was there!! Haha..everyone was so high when we were finally counting down..Spray cans, crackers, confetti and even ice were used..
As i had promised Ms Cheryl that i will go down to liquid..i made my way there at around 1 am..But of cos..it was awsome there..it was more packed than usual and everyone was so drunk!! Oh yah..this was the first time i drank vodka straight from the bottle!! AHaha..thanks to gerard..Of cos it was really potent..By the time i left to head back to MW, i was quite light headed..but really happy..;p
Then the guys came and fetched us and the awsome night ended with supper at you tiao da wang at geylang..
It was already 5 plus when i finally climbed into the bed..totally exhausted and intoxicated..haha..And i must say again..It was a totally awsome night!!

End of 2004..

Met up with the pongs last nite for our xmas exchange of presents..I cannot remember how long we have had this yearly thingee..But it sure warms my heart to think abt the times we have spent together..and I can already picture the older us still having the exchange of presents, however this time with our hubbies/partners/children in the background..hehe...Nevertheless, thankies to all my friends for the lovely presents you guys have showered me with..i like every single one of them cos they are from you..my dear friends!!

The same feeling came over mi when i was having a drink with mich just now..A sudden wave of nostalgia hit me..and memories of how the friendship btwn mi and her developed..from poly mates to the best of friends..I wonder if its the time of the year..or perhaps i have really grown older (seeing the younger crowd in mambo clearly confirms the fact), both physically (sighz), and mentally..Being away from home and love ones for 2 years has definitely made me a more matured individual..thinking back, 2004 is definitely a year of ups and downs for mi..ties with my mum has grown closer..I think less for myself and more for my family..I try to be more patient with my aged grandparents..Jeff and i had separated but we got back together again and this time..our bond stronger...Jeff has ventured into a new line..New friendships have been made..and some present ones weaker and some stronger..Time really flies huh..

I look forward to the coming year..2005..cos i can finally finish my degree and enter another phase of my life..and to pursue my dreams or rather go closer to them..And i take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy 2005 ahead..a year filled with love, joy, luck, hope, to be blessed with good health and really hope there will be less turbulence, sufferings and harm in this unpredictable world we live in..

Green Tea Kit Kat

Chanced upon this Green Tea Kit Kat at Watsons today! This was the first time i tried it..and boy..it was good!! hiakz..

Green Tea Kit Kat..Slurpzz

Nice colour combi!

Its greenn!!

Xmas..

Merry xmas and happy boxing day pple! Hope everyone had a great xmas..Well, as for me, xmas eve was spent at a fren's condo having bbq with jeff and friends..It was alrite just that siyao ( the owner of the condo) bought v little chicken wings..and i didnt get to eat a single one..*sobz* The guys walloped everything before i could get to the wings..After the bbq..we just sat around and played drinking games..as usual..we finished 2 bottles of chivas and some red wine..with compliments from Max..Hengz i didnt get drunk..lol...Oh yah i forgot to mention in the day, we watched kungfu..there were oni some parts which were hilarious..but overall it was quite alrite lar..

Xmas day was spent with Jeff..

Boxing day was spent with Jeff too..hehe...Oh yah..i just discovered this 2 new shops selling korean skincare and cosmetics at Bugis..the prices are really cheap..for eg. nail polishes at 2.50 ( big bottle), lip glosses at 7.90..and the skincare prdts are made with natural ingredients and they smell yummyy!! Yeah..i bought a clear lip gloss, foot gel, a base coat and a pinky nail polish..hehe..i m pretty excited to try the products!!

Pauline, Angeline and I at the bbq..

I am feeling blue

Guess its the after clubbing effect..here i am feeling sleepy ( but im too full to sleep now), bored, and just blue..Been feeling blue lately, and i cant seem to explain why...Perhaps its just PMS? Hope so..
Perhaps i miss jeff..sighz oh well...
Went to Zouk and Liquid Room last nite..The last time i stepped into Zouk was abt 2 years ago!! Yesh..2 years!! Thats a bloody long time lah!! Seriously, after seeing the crowd there, I am quite convinced i have aged..*boohoooohoooo* But its good to see the synchronised dance actions again...thanks to the regulars standing on the central platform..We left Zouk at around 12 plus and walked to Liquid Room..Well, that was the first time i went to the Slinky Night..Well, it was gd..as usual...Liquid Room is gd man...hehe..Met a few familiar faces there..But my lower back was aching so i didnt dance much..must be the heels i have been walking around in for the entire day yesterday..
Oh yah, both clubs were packed!!

Anyway, i still have got one more present to buy and i would have completed my xmas shopping!!! Seriously, shopping for xmas presents are not an easy feat..like wat Josephine said, the closer you are to that person, the harder it is! I totally agree man..Cos definitely if you are shopping for a close fren, you will want to find the best present for them..And you have heaps of factors to consider from the colour to whether they will like it or not based on your level of understanding/closeness to that person..and of cos price for the poor me...:(
Hope I can get to see Jeff later..even for a short while i dont mind..I miss him..

Been a long time

I just realised i have not posted for a long time!! Tsk..Have been going out everyday..catching up with friends..spending time with Jeff..shopping for presents and eating to make myself fat :(
Sighz..i dont wan to grow fat...
Went Dbl o on friday, that was the first and will be the last time I will go there on a friday. The music was lousyyy..But the company was good..had a gathering with my Uni friends...Kristy curled her hair, and it looked really nice..Was tempted to buy the curler iron too..She recommended Philips....Too bad, i dont have enough cash to buy that...Plus i will be rebonding my hair soon..wont be using it after that too...oh well..shall consider it again when i am working and can use it more frequently!!
Talking abt hair..i think i need a trim soon!!
Have been feeling a lil blue these days..i wonder why..sianz..everything just seems sianz to me..Body not feeling too good as well..Hope I am not falling sick...
Finally met up with Josephine !! We had coffee at the newly opened Coffee Club near Somerset mrt station..Quite a nice place!! And i received birthday and xmas presents from Jo!! aiyoh..you girls really spoil mi le...Thanks Jo for the lovely presents!! You shouldnt have!
Oh yah..its ' Dong zhi' tmr..

Special day for me..

Happy Birthday to me ! Its that special day of the year again..Frankly speaking, i dont feel as excited as i should be as compared to previous years..Guess age really mellows a person..Anyway, I had an awsome day!! To start of with..i had smses and calls coming in at the struck of 12 am and throughout the day..hehe..thanks to all of those who had remembered...i really feel blessed to have such friends like you guys... Then popo gave mi an angbao..
Anyway..Jeff had such a lovely surprise for mi..he called and told mi to open the door for him as per normal when he had reached..to my surprise, i saw a cake with lit candles in his hands hehe..and it is my fav tiramisu!! hiakz..Then mum, Jeff and I headed down to Marche for lunch..thought of going there cos i had always wanted to bring my mum there..Next stop was Levis where mum bought me a 593..hiakz..*happy* This is the third year where i will get a pair of levis for my bday..Last yr was from Jeff, and the yr before was from my popo...nez yr from myself hopefully hehe..
Then we brought mum to Koolook at Far east cos she wanted to make a pair of presentable reading glasses..Its gd that she managed to find a frame she liked..in fact its quite funky ah!! Shall post the pic when i collect it for her tmr k!! haha..
Then after that..Jeff and i went to watch Blade Trinity, recommended by Mich..It was quite gd i feel..the show was very sleek..i dont know why it gave mi that feeling haha..and it presented to us a very futuristic interpretation of vampires and vampire slayers..Then the piggy us went to our usual 'zhi cha' place for dinner at Bugis...Ordered claypot tofu, sambal kangkong and black pepper beef..dinner was awsome man...
I enjoyed myself so much today..thanks to my baby for being such a dear to spend the whole day with mi and half a day with my mum as well. Thanks to mum for doting on me....I was feeling a lil nervous about the 3 of us going out together cos it was the first time..but thank gdness, my mum was chatty haha..and everything went well..yeah...once again,
~Sweet 23rd Birthday to me..~

Earliest Birthday Present

Hehe..my first birthday presents are from Michelle and Daphne! Thanks heaps girls..shldnt have spent so much! We went crystal jade for dinner..and after that Michelle brought us to a small but very cosy cafe called ' The Secret Garden' , its just opposite Fortune Centre. Anyhow, i got 3 presents in all! Heheh..and they surprised me by giving me the presents at 3 different times in that coffee session! Hiakz..First was a pink sleeveless mango top which was pulled out from Daphne's bag..hehe..then Michelle drew out the 2nd present, Crabtree & Evelyn's Hand Therapy then lastly, another bigger present..was a pink tote! Awww...so sweet of my girlies..hehe..
That was on Thurs...

Fri
It was our monthly anniversary, so Jeff took time off to go out with me..Sighz..theres really nothing to do in Singapore man..cant possible watch movie and shop all the time rite..anyway, after around 2 hrs of shopping, we decided to go for ktv at K box! Been such a long time since both of us sang together..i mean just the 2 of us..Haha..and mich and i going again next mon! hiakzz..
Then for dinner, we went to this ramen shop that is situated in Shaw Towers..To start of with, the kimchi ramen i ordered was a disappointment. Instead of the real kimchi, the ramen was in a huge bowl of kimchi FLAVOURED soup with fresh cabbage. How lame is that?! and some fried chicken pieces..on top of that, we shared some fried tofu (cant rem the jap name), and fried siew mai as side dishes..I wasnt feeling ravenous..plus the noodles were up to my liking, so i only ate half..
And after much discussion, i decided to go Newsroom bar with Pauline and Jeff were to join the guys at Iguana pub at Clarke Quay..Hmm..if u guys rem, i did mention i still prefer MW..but Pauline said she prefers Newsroom..so nvm lah..nez time it will be def MW man..
Well, i was feeling fine the whole day at Newsroom, when i suddenly felt nauseous..so i just sat back and relax and hope the feeling will go away..But it didnt..instead, it got worse and i actually puked in the toilet! It was so weird ya noe when i was perfectly sober!!
Sighz..then Pauline suggested we ask Jimmy to give us a lift to join the guys instead...Upon reaching clarke quay, i felt even more nauseous..had to puke again..this time, most of the dinner came out...and i could still smell the oil! ( ok sorry, its a lil gross haha)...
Joined the guys for a bit and i really felt sick..so Jeff and I left earlier..THought the puking would have stopped cos i thought all the dinner was out, well, poor me..it didnt..the last vomitting session, i was vomitting my gastric juices and those secretions..in the middle of the nite..
In all, here is a total count of how many times i puked :
Newsroom bar: 1
Bridge near the pub : 1
Iguana pub's toilet: 2
At home: 2
Total count : 6
I was so disappointed..cos i thought i had stomach flu and will miss my jolin concert tonite!!..but i am feeling perfectly fine now..*touch wood* Well, i am quite sure the oily food and alcohol didnt really go down very well for me for some reason, will post some pictures of the culprit food..yeah..but i m glad i m well now..Thanks to pauline and jimmy for taking care of me..and to Jeff..though u snored like a pig despite my attempt to wake you up when i left the room in the middle of the nite to puke...That sleepy boy had absolutely no account of the above when i told him bout it this morning..tsk tsk..

Kimchi ramen without kimchi

Small world

Its ah eng's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH ENG!!! and welcome back too!! *hugz*
Just got back from Siglap Starbucks..Finally met up wif my kor after so much planning haha..and it was actually an impromptu one..And i realised Starbucks dont offer iced cappucino! So lousy..
Anyway..I got to meet Jeff's colleague, without Jeff around haha..Found out that my kor's insurance agent, Jack is actually Jeff's colleague..small world huh..and thanks to kor, i got a lift from Jack upon our first meeting..It so happened that Jack need to pass him some stuff..so ya..Small world man!!

Experience at the Dentist

It was a traumatic experience for me at the dentist yesterday! I finally mustered enough courage to extract the other wisdom tooth that was supposed to be out early this year..I was already feeling nervous when i walked to the dentist with Jeff..
Found out that this extraction wasnt a simple one as the last one i had..this tooth was embedded more deeply in my gums..and that it will require something like a minor operation..the dentist had to section my teeth into half and if it is still lodged, he will need to slice my gums...*arggh* when i heard that..my heart sank even deeper...
The whole ordeal lasted for around an hr...the injections were the most painful!! The circumference of the syringe was bigger than a 50 cent coin! No joke man..then again the needle wasnt that big lah..haha...
I am glad its over..just need to remove the stitches on sunday...Thanks to my girlies that msged/emailed/ tagged on my tagboard on that day..It really meant alot to me to think that it wasnt a big deal to have the tooth extracted but you girls bothered...:) thanks girls!!
Went shopping with Mich at Parkway today...Had a great time maybe cos we havnt shopped there before though i have been there upteen times but its always great to hang out wif my best friend :p
Mich bought a soft toy doggie for her bf's niece..her bday tmr...and the service at tiny toons is lousy man!! Like i was choosing a mug for myself..and there 3 patterns...i was just looking at the other patterns when this sales girl called Jennifer ( i saw her name tag) came over and said..' take this pattern loh( pointed to the one on the rack), i feel the other 2 not nice..( including the one i was holding and i think its not bad) then i said ' i think its ok wat, i was referring to the one i was holding' then she said..no lah..that one not nice lah..wahlau ay..pls loh..i didnt even ask for ur opinion...
then nevermind..when mich was deciding btw the white dog and the beige one..that Jennifer came over on her own accord and said ' the white one is nicer mah..its selling better too'
Then Mich whispered to me ' Didnt ask for your opinion wat' , she said should have answered like this in her face like what ' dao ming si' did in Meteor Garden...Well that Jennifer was relunctant to check if there was a new piece for that dog...only after me and Mich acted that we will go TM to buy instead...then she said she will go and check...
Wahlau wat kind of service is that..in the end..Mich was so pissed off that she decided not to buy from there..hehe..attitude..I LIKE! hehe...
This incident and many other more i have encountered had clearly shown that the level of sincerity in most of the service staff is very low..I told my mum abt it and her view about this is that most of us will have this mentality that i receive the same pay even if i am very nice, helpful or hospitable or not to my customers..why should i waste my energy to be nice?
Sighz..Well, some may say i m not in their shoes, i wont know their situation...Well, to start off with..its not as if i am very demanding..i can say i m very courteous to any sales person..as long as they are courteous and helpful to me!! And i have worked as a sales promoter before!
Oh well..just my thoughts...

Bored..

Just logged into Friendster..and some of the notices posted by my Uni friend on the bulletin board seriously shocked me..There she called her bf, or rather by now ex bf a liar, how he enjoyed his time while she was slogging with her work where he could have helped her..And he actually beats her!! My gdness..shocking!! And all the while, they always look so happy together..oh well..That made mi think of how fragile relationships can be huh...
Went Newsroom Bar..it wasnt planned though..It wasnt too bad..that was the 2nd time i went there after say 3 yrs? But i still prefer Mw..
Then went for dinner with Jeff's family..cos it was his dad's bday..Bought him some good 'tie guan yin' tea leaves..hope i 'scored some pts' *lol* Then while Jeff went to meet his client ( sighs, looks like i m goin to say that line many many times), i headed to this ktv pub called ' Under one roof' at Tanjong Pagar...Jeff came later to join us...In all, we finished off 2 martells among say..8 persons?!
Ok lah..lunch time!! Oh yah..sighz..going to extract my wisdom tooth tmr..wish me luck man!!

Sianz..

Received some really bad news this morning..it seems my hopes of doing my last sem in singapore has been shattered...Sighz..as usual..its not confirmed..Shall update when i finally get the confirmed news...sux..Hate my uni!

I think i should go extract my other wisdom tooth next monday..*scared* Was supposed to extract it in july..but my holidays were too short to lie in bed mah..so i only extracted one..sighz..im scareddd...

I am upset :(

Awsome Weekend

Like my title suggests, I had a great weekend!! Hiakz..Caught Bridget Jones and Shutter...not bad..but Shutter was so scary!! *shudders*
Pauline took half day off on friday..accompanied her to town, cos she wanted to look for a top for the wedding dinner on saturday..Jeff and all of his friends went, i was supposed to go but nah..I had a more interesting event to attend --> JAY'S CONCERT!!
He was awsoommeee...i realised he is so charismatic! hiakz..and the shirts he wore were very nice..and he has got a great voice..overall, i found it really good and entertaining!! I am glad i went for the concert rather than the wedding dinner..though it was held at Fullerton ( Swaku me havnt been in there before)
Then i had to rush to Madam Wong after that..To avoid the crowd at the end of the concert, Mabel and i left our seats and stood behind the seats where the exit was when he was singing his last song..by the way, he had 2 encores haha..big shot huh...
Once he finished, we dashed to the bus stop haha..and caught the bus before everyone came out..The timing was just nice..cos the rest had finished the dinner..so they picked mi up at city hall and drove the 3 of us ( Pauline, mi and Angeline) to mw..while the rest of the guys headed towards tanjong pagar to some ktv pub..
Well well..i started off my intake of alcohol of that nite with half a glass of white wine, next came chivas with green tea..not bad..then a tequila shot..compliments from adrian, pauline's friend..then more chivas...and sips of beer...wahhh...i was so intoxicated i tell ya...of cos all that didnt go down well and ended up in the toilet bowl :( And some below my block *lol*
Woke up the next day with a heavy head..managed to climb out of bed and headed to the hawker centre for brunch..Jeff and i were so ravenous with hunger..haha..ordered hokkien mee, 2 popiahs, rojak, fried oyster omelette, sugar cane juice...piggyssss...
And i had a goreng pisang for dessert...Oh yah..it was raining so heavily yest...that the road beside my block was flooded...and a bus No 16 broke down..it stopped just beside the hawker ctr lah..thats why i know...not becos i m Kpo ok...
Then decided to go Marina for 'Shutter'...i find the ending the spookiest, if theres such a word..*shudders*
Hmm..just received more bad news about our attachments in aust..sianz..from the initial proposed 5 weeks of stay in Newcastle..has extended to 10 weeks and now..till June...SUX!!
And our attachment in singapore will only start on 31st Jan..which means we will miss some workshops which would have started in Uni..:(
Since we are only starting in Jan..i am thinking of working..but then again, i cant bear to leave my leisurely life now..sighz..of cos working will bring in extra pocket money...*dilemma*
And I still havnt gone to my Mambo and Liquid rm on weds!! Waiting for my kakis to come backkkkk...

sho sleeppyy..*DND*

At Jay's concert

At Marche

At the bus stop

I want to be financially independent!!

Had breakfast with Jeff this morning..

Was on the mrt just now and there was this china lady and her daughter that annoyed the hell out of mi man! Well, i was holding on to the overhead handle when both of them rushed in..and that stoopid china lady happily came over and snatched the handle from my hand!! Wat the ?!! Is that rude or wat?! Well..the train was packed but that dont give her daughter a reason to lean on me loh!! Yesh..practically LEAN ON ME...Argghh..irritating..

Just got back from Orchard..Met up with Elizabeth for dinner at Spageddies..It was really nice of her to give me a treat...Had soft shelled crab, calamari, spaghetti with chicken..Yummy!

Elizabeth looked really nice in her work clothes! She was wearing a blue striped long sleeved blouse and a black skirt..She wanted to buy more work clothes, so we went to G2000..and i tried on this light green long sleeved blouse..and i like it sooo muchh..nah..wld have bought it if i had extra cash..sighz. Hate this feeling..

Sighz..been thinking if my choice to go over for studies was right..im already 23 and havnt even started my career...sianz...
No point thinking about it anyway..i gotta just hang on and finish it..one more bloody year to go..sux..

Chinese New Year Shopping?

My beauty sleep got disrupted by the radio..as usual..my grand dad had to turn up the volume like at 9 am..and my mum has to wake me up to help her type a sms!! Sighz..Couldnt get back to sleep after that..

Headed off to Jeff's place..Bought lunch for him and rotted the time away till he had to meet a client at TM..while i occupied myself by going for an express manicure..and tried on a few dresses, was hoping i could get sth for CNY..haha..i didnt expect to find anything nice..but i did! Got a tube like dress! hiakzz..It was $55, but it was on a 10% discount...yeah..so not that bad lah..
But the sales girl at the shop was trying to get into my gd books in the hope of me buying the more expensive dress..i was deciding between 2 dresses..but i still chose the one that was cheaper haha...cos its nicer mah!

Her praises for me : Wah your legs are so skinny...can wear more dresses lah...Your arms very thin also hor.. You look nice in a tube dress because your shoulders are very nice...

YEAH RITE...she happened to comment on all the parts where i m most dissatisfied with!

Sighz..i am feeling broke already..and i saw this pair of heels which i like v much too..$39 :(

If i dont have that attachment in jan, i will go find a job...sighz..if only there are short assignments i can undertake huh...

Talking about attachment, the lecturer that was in charge of the arrangement for the attachment sent us an email and asked us to arrange for a meeting with her and the head! Apparently, she has either forgotten we are back here or she didnt read the email Kavi sent to inform her about our returning here...

Sighzz...I hope she wont get angry at us..Scary man...Still waiting for her reply...*crosses fingers*

Fun, fun, fun!!

Finally have got the time to blog!! hehe..As usual, the weather was too hot to handle for the first few hrs..but nevertheless, its still better than the hot AND dry weather in Aust.
Anyway..here are the list of things i did from thurs till yest...

~ Ate sotong balls from Old Chang Kee ( Jeff bought them when he came to fetch me from the airport, there was also pork floss bread, egg tarts and curry puffs! *grinz*)
~Ate Mum's mian xian..
~ Watched Incredibles
~Trimmed hair
~ Shopped at Bugis
~ Clubbed at Mw! hehe ( it was greattttt!!)
~ Met up with Elizabeth, Michelle, Pauline and Jeff's friends

Yeah still have got many many things to do ah ,many friends to meet and clubz to go to!! hehe..=p

The exams are finally over!! Im going home!! Heheh

Hehe..yeahh today marks the last of my exams!! It feels good not to have anything to stress about after such a long time!! No (Busy) on my msn nick!! ;p The paper was alrite, in fact out of the 3 i have had, i have the most confidence in this one..
Anyway, after the paper, we headed down to get pizza, chicken strips and garlic bread for dinner!! hehe.not forgetting pepsi lite..Dinner was exceptionally gd..i wonder why huh? hehe..
Then it was packing time..was sooo lazy to finish up my packing ya noe..but had to force myself to do it..Managed to borrow a weighing machine from the girls 2 houses away..thank gdness man..if not we are gonna be soo over the baggage limit!! The first time i checked..it was 9 kg over!! Arrgghh..so i have to handcarry my 6 kg worth of notes and textbook, then reluctantly pick some of my winter clothes and my cds to leave behind..aiyah, i wanted to bring some back cos wont be wearing them nez sem!!
Anyway, after taking them out huh..its still 32 kg! shucks..but dont think i wan to leave anything else behind liaoz lah!!
*Pray the check in counter staff is nice..hopefully its a guy..haha..cos we noticed most of the lady staff are very 'niao' = picky

Hmm..the feeling is so unreal..like the day i have been hoping and yearning for has finally came..but i dont feel as excited..no, dont get me wrong..theres happiness but i just feel the excitement isnt as much as it used to be..weird huh? Perhaps i am tired..from the paper..from packing, unpacking, carrying my luggage bags for weighing upteen times!! haha..

Waiting for hair to dry and gotta go to bed liaoz, but i am not feeling tired!! The coach will be coming to fetch us at 12 pm..flight is at 5 pm..will reach sin at 9.55 pm..Just asked kavi..i always forget the time..thought it was 10.55 pm...yeahh..

hehe..sat going clubbing you know? hehehe...

Packing..Shifting..Storage

Just finished taping and carrying down all the boxes we are going to leave in the storage...My arms and back are aching boy..signs of not exercising for a longggg time. We have a GRAND TOTAL of 22 boxes!! haha..ay that is inclusive of clothes, books, crockery etc..

Gonna be a busy morning tomorrow..cos we will then have to move all the boxes and bring them to the 2nd level of where our storage space will be...

There will always be some time in our life where we will get to meet some annoying people..Where their behaviour bewilders and thoughts are simple unfathomable..And you just wonder why they will have something to complain about in everyone that crosses their path..Why cant she just view things in a simpler way? And there are truly sincere people and friends around her but yet our actions will always be interpreted as negative as it can be by her. Isn't life tough enough to be away from home, I wonder where she gets her energy for blaming, harping abt something that happened 10 000 yrs ago, bitching, complaining abt how chamz she was and repeating stories about other people from huh..i really wonder...

Oh well..i guess she needs some enlightening..some awakening...and to stop and reflect on her past thoughts and actions so that her bitterness and viciousness wont get overboard and rule her life...thats what i feel abt her...sighz..

Somemore of our barang..table and chairs not included! *lol*

Our barang barang

Last weekend here..

Been a long time since i have blogged huh..but of course, i was busy mugging...JUST ONE MORE TO GO..Thank god its the last paper..if not i dont think i will have the energy and discipline to do this 'isolation-kinda' revision for another day!!

This is the last weekend I am gonna be stuck here! Yayyy..Things are more or less packed..just that i havnt packed my lugguage yet..Going to move our things to the storage on Mon..

Paper on wed..at 1.45 pm..Simply cant wait for it to be over..torture..

I suddenly remembered this advertisement..think its a Swatch or Casio advert..it has this narration that goes What does a millisec mean to an athlete at a race? What does a month mean to an expecting mum sth like that? anyone remembers??

They should include me inside..What does a day mean to this girl stuck in Newcastle? *lol*

Yayyy..hiakz..Mummy is gonna take leave on the 18th and 19th too! And I am gonna meet Michelle on the 19th after she comes back from Batam..hehe..Now you all know why i keep saying i cant wait huh..

Jiahui, April and Kavi taking a break at the food court

Kavi's birthday cake!!

Happy Birthday Kavi!!

Happy Birthday Kavi!! Hiakz..it was an exciting and fun filled day today...Had a 3 hr paper...I was practically rushing for the last question man..sighz..
Anyway..after the paper..with the help Luci and Kendal and some friend..they managed to keep Kavi occupied while i sneaked over to Jiahui's place to get things organised...haha..With the help of Jiahui, we got her a beautiful and super delicious mudcake!! We got everything and everyone ready downstairs and i pretended to call for Kavi's help..hiakzz...
Should have videorecorded everything man...when she came down...that look on her face was so funny!! hhaha...Her eyes grew wide with surprise when she saw all of us and the cake with candles lit...After eating the super chocolatey cake...April suggested that we went shopping...yeah...so off we went to charlestown...
I bought a skirt at TEMT..can wear for work...quite nicee...and kavi, april and i bought the same pair of earrings from Sportsgirl...its simple but niceee...gd deal too....hiakzz
Then we came back and decided to stay home cos we were too tired..had yummy tuna pasta bake for dinner...
Yeahh...the day was good...It makes me happy to see my friends happy...:)

Cant seem to remember...

I really shouldnt be here blogging man..but sighz, i cant seem to remember the stuff i have memorised!! and that feeling is horrid!! *ARGGHH* So here i am hiding from the agony of it..temporarily!
Mum called me..and coincidentally(perhaps not) for the 4th time, i have contemplated to call home..but didnt..and mum will call!! How amazing boy, it really has gotta do with the bond between us..Got to know that granddad almost fell while trying to sit back onto the wheelchair, that shocked me so much..I was worried when mum was telling me the whole story..but only when i told Jeff about it later on, i found my eyes welling up with tears..Jeff said i must have missed them so much and to add on, the incident that happened...
But i am alrite now, its the same feeling when you are bothered or saddened by something..and when u finally get to tell it to someone close to you, u just break down...or when someone shows you concern..

I am really glad gong gong is fine..i shall call him tmr..cos he was already in bed when mum called just now..so didnt get a chance to speak to him..

On a happier note, i dream of my cousin..and she was my pillion while i was test riding a PINK motorbike! yesh pals..haah Jo riding a motorbike!! So cool huh..perhaps its just a sign that i should get a riding license instead!! hohoho..ney..anyway i went online and checked the dream dictionary..and this is what is says :

Seeing your cousin in your dream, represents something or some aspect of your character that is somewhat familiar. Perhaps you need to spend more time in cultivating and developing some emerging ability or character. In particular, if you dream that your cousin is ignoring you indicates that you are not acknowledging some aspect of yourself that is represented by your cousin. Dreaming that you or your sibling is in love with a cousin, represents your acceptance of each other and that you have acknowledge and embraced key qualities in one another.

and for the motor bike
Seeing or riding a motorcycle in your dream, symbolizes your desire for freedom and need for adventure. You may be trying to escape from some situation or some other responsibility in your waking life.

OMIGOSH..how true is that motorbike meaning!!! I dont want to go through the mundane routine of revision and the exams!! As for the cousin meaning..erm..i dont see any emerging ability leh..oh well..Interesting huh..

ok..its too late to absorb anything now! so its time to ZZZZ...:P

Stagnant..

Boringg..revising for exams are a torture man..And to see the days crawl by painstakingly slowly doesnt make it any better... I yearn to go back to where I belong..where my loved ones are..the familiar surroundings and faces i have grown up with...

Life is so stagnant now, wake up - bathe- eat- study- eat- sleep..and the boring cycle continues till the exams...

Friends have always been an important part of my life..Through time, i realised this
~ Some of the friends i have are for keeps for life, to grow old with..and i know they will always be there for me through times of joys and sorrows..
~ some will only be there when they need you, for a purpose..
~ some only expects you to listen to them and never bothers to ask how are you
~ some talk to you just because they want to show how much better they are than you
~ some..some..

oh well..such are the people we meet in life who make us grow as a better person..who reflect upon us the goodness and badness of a character ..which we have a choice to follow and learn from or leave behind.
