I AM HOME. :]

it's been a while since i've last updated. well, i'm only here cos i'm bored out of my mind. i'm suppose to be studying. but.. SIGHHS..

many many things happened and changed! we did a surprise for my friend for his 25th bday. i'm so proud that i came up with the idea. tho it's very "romantic" cos it involves lightsticks spelling out happy birthday, but his place is JUST so ideal for this idea. and also! had a blast at another girl's bday celebration. have u heard of the game "cranium"? it sure is a damn fun game to play!

alot of things have really changed for me this sem. but at least it's finally becoming what i deem as uni life. now all i lack is to have a part time job which i will work hard to find next sem. and being in aussie, i finally get to enjoy going to friend's house for dinner and games! this is what typical international students do here. does it sound boring? but it definitely isn't! it's the most ideal gathering!

anyway, recently, i've been listening to dbsk's "dont say goodbye". listening to this song just reminds me of how much i miss their vocals, esp junsu's. luckily, i still have a huge stash of their perf and videos so now, i'm watching them sing "dont say goodbye." i hope their lawsuit cases will be settled soon and i can start watching more of them soon! meanwhile, i'll make do with shinee's RING DING DONG which is a damn addictive song. i'm slowly getting addicted to ss501's love like this, but i seriously cannot stand the tattoo shirt.



i really just want to run away from everything. i want to go to the safe place. sometimes i really wish my sis was here with me.

things to do when ure in the library, not studying but accompanying ur friend.

1. Steal her computer space.
2. Use her ebuddy and talk to her friends.
3. Read ur godbrother's old blog entries cos they are just seriously damn funny.
4. Facebook
5. Blog about the things to do.



okayy.. i'm just BORED :] just had awesome chicken rice today AND i bought a pair of shoes for 12.50 bucks! muahahhaa :]

anyway, over the midsem break, i really had an awesome BUT supertiring time. i went to sydney, canberra and back to sydney again. and when i came back, i immd had to organise Asean uni games. to sweetly call it, it's one entire week of experience i'll nv forget, to say it badly, it was one week of torture and hell as i had SO LITTLE SLP! now.. it's just 3 weeks to my lovely finals. so.. i shall go MIA awhile and be back after that to blog and to go out with everyone! :] WHOOTS!

the sky seems abit dark but it was still sunny when i got out of my hse at nine plus this morning. after a two hour tutorial, i walk out of my class into this orange fog. i thought i had went crazy or was too sleepy that my vision deteriorated that much. but as i continue walking on to my next class, it just confirms that it isn't my imagination. there is a dust storm. so for the entire day today, we're living in a place with orange sky and you can really see that visibility is affected. therefore, many flights have been delayed

On to read the news about this issue. Brisbane and Sydney are the two states that are seriously affected. of all places. i wonder if i would be able to fly down to sydney tmr. and to think last night i suddenly dint feel like going down to sydney anymore due to the extreme workload this week. maybe it's a sign. but it wont be when money is involved man!

"Weather officials are warning of another severe storm to sweep across the southern and eastern parts of the country tomorrow and Friday with the potential to create another dust storm." - www.news.com.au

please let me go on my break! but right now, if you want to step outside, rmb, GOGGLES UP! :]

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A PICTURE INTENSIVE POST! (right after all the words that is!)

FINALLY! i got to cook for my friends! they have been waiting for very long and neither of us could believe i was actually free today to finally cook for them! and i've cooked BAKUTEH! :] well, it's not the best! but it's still pretty good! seeing how it's my first time cooking it! now, i can cook for my family too! muahahah :] In additional, there was homemade oreo cheesecake and home cooked veges! yums! it's been a while since i cooked properly. OH! and the best part about the bakuteh is.. the chopped chillis and dark soya sauce!


Home made oreo cheesecake!


anyway, it's these kind of stuff that made me forget and get over people who sucks. i am really thankful to the two darling girls (esp genie!) who accompanied me the entire night for like 8 hours just cos i found out the true colours of a certain person and was in total shock and disappointment. but they accompanied me and enjoy the cool, quiet night in uni. :]

In addition, i also must thank mr brightsmile. He made me have a revelation yesterday. he made me feel so much better. more importantly, i know i'm not alone in this issue. yepp! we're all in this together! mr brightsmile, you rock my world!

Actually, i would like to say i'm genuinely free but that's not the case. I still have to pack up my room and my notes and my laundry. (the aftermath of midsem exams). In addition, I am flying down to Canberra for a function this weekend. But of course, i will be going down to sydney first to explore a little. and this just means that i have VERY little time to settle the event details for the Canberra trip.

In addition, i have to settle internship application(not that i want to be last minute! but they just release application!), audit and stats quizes, assignments hopefully by this week. no matter what, i have to start on them this week. WISH ME LUCK MAN. i'm gonna go camp out in the library this week again. or rather, for the next three days.

Should i go home and have a boring life and do an internship or should i drop everything and go to USA and perhaps taiwan this yr end?

before i can even ponder on this question, let's just hope i dont die of itchiness first. spring is ending soon. all the summer flies are starting to come out and somehow, they like my blood -___-" anyone who has DAMN effective methods to stop itchiness, pls tell me! :]

NOW, it's time for the pictures! let's start from the beginning! -not really, just some time ago.


ah nee sent me this card! :] it's SO beautifully made! and it was at the right time! so now, i have a dog name bulu!




dawny and chun!



First dish of the day! - sweet and sour chicken!



itadakimasu!



look at all of us cook!



would you like some?



the day of my birthday, the fact that it was my birthday didn't exactly sink in till afternoon. that is probably cos i had super boring lessons that morning. anyway, my friend specially came over just to spend the afternoon with me! thanks jas!

that night, i had two celebrations planned. one dinner and one kbox session. i had dinner with dawny, chun, song and kiat. i was surprise that song came cos he kept telling me that he's unable to finish studying for his exams. anyway, the dinner was planned as this bunch of friends are having mid sem very soon so they have to be studying at night. so dinner was the most they could do. after a fabulous indian dinner, kiat send dawny and me back to my hostel.

so, we are just waiting for wp to come fetch us to the kbox place. THEN, he was conveniently late. he mentioned that he hasn't had dinner. so i tot he was late cos he went to buy dinner (even tho beforehand, we already told him we're settling dinner ourselves). so he came late, and he didn't buy any dinner. so nvm, we went to pick up genie and then, he insisted on eating macdonalds. but brisbane is a city that slps early. it's not easy to get mac at 8plus. luckily he settled for some burger shop. dawn and my plans for kbox was to sing till 2am. but wp told us he intends to leave at 11pm. so that made me damn sian about this celebration already. and i nv understand why he said to pick us up at 8pm when he booked the kbox place for 9pm. that place is less than half an hour away only. so nvm, i just tried not to think about all these but i was actually very sian about it already.

when we finally reach, i went to the counter first since it's raining outside. when the rest finally caught up, they immd ask the counter person where's room no. 19. my friend mentioned that since we have made a booking, so we already know our room no. and there i was thinking "what a different system!" anyway, as i opened the door, it was then that i realise there were other ppl in the room! but i couldn't really see who they were and i was still thinking that we have gotten the wrong room whennn.. the three guys which i had dinner before held out a cake and started singing! :] and this is my surprise! :] and we ended up singing till 2am :] thanks guys!



kiat, chun, song, me! dawny, genie, wp

thank you for not getting me a coles cake! <3

To add on to my 20th celebrations, i finally got ime to go out with rach and nana after my midsems on a sat! it's been awhile since i last went out with them, and i do miss going out with them :]. i finally brought them to this famous fish and chips place! :] and they gave me presents then! that present is DAMN awesome man. it's basically a weekly planner that i can just write down all my stuff in one page. it suits me damn well. and i got mini tags that are unique! on the tags, they have labels like "revise", "reference", "impt", "read", "follow up", "love it", "buy", "visit", etcetc. how cool is that! :] last but not least, i also gotten these bulldog clips that has exclamation mark, love sign and question mark on it! they really know what i need :] Thanks guys!




this is how my friend studies. he "focus" his vision to only the notes and nothing else! hahah :]



i saw this REALLY tiny ladybug on the floor while waiting for my friend.





min invited me over to her uncle's penthouse in the city. it has such a magnificent view of the city and the river! and it's 39 storeys high! aaaah!!!

Cheers!



my birthday cheesecake! :] it is from "the cheesecake shop"!


as the gossiping, camwhoring and giggling continued into the night, we were unfortunate to miss the last bus, train and citycat. hence, we embark on a journey to WALK home! even tho it's far and it's 12plus midnight, but at least we have a company of 3!


hello! from the three of us!



whatcha up to! LET US GO!!



are we reaching??



we're high on walking!

we managed to finally reach home after 2 plus hours of walking. it was fun but not something i would wish to do again! hahaha :] and since we're so bored while walking, we kept singing and even changed the lyrics to westlife's "my love"

what a busybusybusy week! having midsems this sat and at the same time, i suddenly seem to be handling alot of stuff. anyway, just a quick post! THE DAY IS COMING SOON! whoots!! i'm damn excited about it! finally turning 20 afterall!

i wonder if lcw got me anything! if they dint even send a card, i swear i will cry! amazingly, nowadays, i dont even have a wishlist. but i do have some things that i want to buy so if there's any kind soul wishing to get them for my bday! here it goes..

1. waterbottle (how i wish i can get the green nike bottle that SOLD OUT while i was in sg. but anyway, i just need one proper bottle cos i dont want to keep using those plastic bottle)

2. revlon nail polishes! funky colours would be nice! black is a must too! waiting for my allowance!

i also had my eyes on this pair of earphones, but i THINK someone is getting that for me already! hahaha!! i can only cross my fingers!

DKNY be delicious! prob that's where my first paycheck will go to! there's no way i bear to spend 100bucks on a perfume right now. but i hope they still have that when i go out to work!
