ShiTTy daY...

today was the worst day i have had since uni started... i actually forgot to bring my assignment which was due today to school... i saved it on my laptop at home and did not saved it into my usb... and i had to go all the way home to get it... and i had to work later at night... shitty day...
worked full shifts on both sat and sun... and only came home at 10pm on sun and i had a 8am start today which meant that i had to wake up at 6am... dunno why i couldn't sleep last night... kept waking up and going to the toilet... and then today, i was so out of it... i could not even speak coherently... the stuff that i was thinking about did not come out of my mouth correctly, i kept yawning nonstop... and then i only realised that i had left my assignment at home when anna asked me during anatomy lecture this morning, whether i handed in my assignment already... i was like shit, i think i left it at home leh...
so in the end, amelia was kind enough to give me a lift back and after handing in the assignment, i went to sleep for awhile, before i had to go to work...
i really think i am not organising my time well... i have no time to revise... everytime i come home from work, i eat and shower and after that, have to sleep already cos the next day have to wake up early to go to uni...

and then now have this really huge OTTP group project... and we dun get to choose the pple we want to work with... so i ended up with five other pple whom i dun really noe... and so far, after meeting twice, we still haven't got any progress... the project is for us to design a living skills program for prisoners... i tried to pay attention during OTTP lectures... but sometimes, my mind juz wanders off and i dun noe what the lecturer's saying... how... i am so in deep shit...

DuNnO whAt TitLe...

sigh... after so long without having to use my brainjuices to think and now suddenly... all the assignments and uni stuff are all piling up again... and i am still not getting into my study mode... dunno when will my brain realise that i have started school and not still on holiday mode... and then when i come home... i am the only one now who has to study and do assignments while prisy and michelle can watch tv and do other stuff... and not worry abt deadlines and results... this semester is definitely a whole new game cos i dunno anything, everything we are learning now is new... unlike last year at least i know abit of what i am studying before... my biggest fear of all is that one day, i would wake up and realise that i am in the wrong course and being an OT is not what i really want... i'm scared... dunno if i am equipped to deal with some of the clients that we see... saw some clips of children with cerebral palsy and... i dunno... how do u not let ur personal feelings interfere with ur professional ones??
i am going to stop feeling sorry for myself and just take one day at a time...

anyway, on a lighter side... apparently, work has this new policy which says that if u have the highest scan rate for that particular week, u receive a $20 gift voucher and i happen to get one last week... yay... i try my best... haha so that i can use the money to buy food (chocs)... :) easter's coming up and we are planning to go on an easter egg hunt again, like we did last year...
thinking abt going back home during the mid semester break... but mum was saying it's only for 3 weeks so why not wait till jan... maybe... worried abt nainai though...

Not vErY ExcItIng...

end of uni week 1... and it was bearable bcos 1) we dun have tutorials in wk 1, 2) found out that i at least noe some pple in my new tutorial group... previously, we were able to choose the group that we want but this year, it was chosen for us... 3) found out that we have fridays off this semester again... yay!! the downside was i have 3 days with 8am starts... which means that i have to wake up at 6am... when winter comes, it will be so super cold and dark... i dunno how am i going to wake up then... oh and we have got new computers in the labs, the ones with the flat screens... at least the stupid school did something correct...

this semester, i am doing, Human Occupations, Anatomy (Lower limbs), Neuroscience (which is definitely getting more difficult), OTTP, COP, ORL and Designing Health Research... which is a new subject... on quatitative and qualitiative research methods... how exciting! fell asleep during OTTP lecture that day man... the lecturer talks funny, she always has this sound that she makes as if she's eating sweets... and whenever she does it... which was often... pple including me will crack up... it's mean but i can't help it... and it was so boring... moreover, she said we dun have to copy anything cos she will be putting it online for us, okay so we were all just sitting there listening to her... obviously there were alot of heads nodding after 15 min... i think i dozed off after half an hour... haha...

yesterday, i was so pissed off at karen... bcos she borrowed my neuroscience notes on wed to copy and then on thurs, i asked her to return it to me cos i need it to study during the weekend, she told me she has not copied it yet... and bcos i was going to have lunch outside with anna and yochi and then i planned to go straight home, i have to take it back with me... so she asked why dun i come back to uni after lunch and amelia can drive me home... so i said okay... so bcos of her... i had to walk all the way back to uni under the hot sun.... and when i reached uni 2 hours later, i saw amelia and her still eating and she still has not copied the notes... and she told me that she thought that i was going to stay in school to study, which i wasn't, so she took her time... what the hell... so irritating... sometimes, i dun want to lend my notes to others bcos of these things...

2nd YEar 1sT seMeStEr OT...

I am finally back in uni... after a really long vacation... i was almost bored to tears man... i am now officially a 2nd year OT... well... reflecting on the year 2005... uni was copable, i think... because i did some of the subjects in poly already so i was not too confronted by them... on a personal note... i did things that i normally would not get to do if i were in singapore... eg skiing (which I still have a phobia till now), going to clubs and pubs, (which i didn't enjoy)... meet new pple from different parts of the world...
now that i am back to uni... nothing much has changed... the school still looks and feels the same, except that they have refurbished the stupid JDV AGAIN!!! wasting money on useless things like the boards that change the ads every few minutes... and some computers there too and they even shifted the microwaves... which were the first things that i was looking for when i came to school this morning... they shifted them into a corner in BIte me... the only good thing abt it was instead of the pathetic one microwave that we have for the whole school... we now have... 2!!!!
:( so many huh!!
they should use the money to get us more microwaves...
and ...something went wrong with my enrolment... apparently i was not enrolled in the clinical placement subject... because my result was still incomplete since last year... how annoying!

anyway... sat was prisy's cousin myat (remember the one who we went for her wedding?) birthday... she invited us to her house for a bbq... had an okay time there... did not have much to do except eat and sit ard cos i dun really noe the pple there... played drawing with this really cute 2-yr-old girl... she was sooo cute... and then yesterday... also went to my uncle's friend's home... apparently his 2 older daughters are going to live in england for a year so it was like a farewell party for them... and again of course i dun noe anyone there... ate the exact same food also... like seriously same nachos, dips and spring rolls... but they had a really cute dog, a black collie... she is very docile and she actually responds to her name... haha...

was supposed to have a 8am lecture this morning, but the lecturer did not turn up so now i have to wait till 3pm for the next lecture... what a waste of my time... i got nothing to do now leh... save me!! still have 4hours to go...

LaSt WeEk Of a VeRy LoNg hoLidaY...

went to hornsby borders to read my latest in death book... memory in death, it was quite a disappointment for me cos it was not as exciting and funny as the series used to be... i actually have the whole series, i am a big fan of this series but it seems to be getting alittle draggy...

one of our uncles came to stay at our house for a few days and he bought a few pirated dvds for us and we watched fearless by jet li on sat night... apparently it's a new release but i haven't heard of it over here... it was quite good... too bad it's a sad ending and much better than unleashed... all of us agreed that jet li looks better in olden days shows than present days movies... with his shaved head and long ponytail... uncle michael treated us to chinese food at our fav shop in eastwood... and prisy and I found this chinese shop there that sells and rents chinese, jap, korean and english shows and movies for very cheap prices... oh we were so excited... i rented the korean show the successful story of a bright girl with jang nara and she rented a love to kill with rain in it... i actually liked the show alot... saw it on tv before quite awhile ago but bcos they showed it at a very late time, i did not get to watch some parts of the show...

work was as usual... but last week i worked the most, i actually exceeded the standard number of hours that anyone was supposed to work... getting so sian of that place already... but cannot be helped... will still continue working there till i can't... the evil woman's getting better in her attitude towards everyone... and... suddenly i realised that there is a sudden influx of young guys working as shelvers leh... before... mostly were either females or older pple working as shelvers but now things are getting interesting... get to see some of these cute guys walking ard so work is not as mundane... haha...

TupPeRwaRe pArtY...

yup... had my first tupperware party just on wed... if u are wondering what the hell is a tupperware party... well that's just what it sounds like... a tupperware lady comes to ur house to promote tupperware to all ur guests and play some games involving tupperware and bake stuff using... guess what... tupperware!! haha... like if we were in singapore... no one would have heard of such a thing, let alone havng this kind of party... it's a new experience for me too...

it's actually a long story but prisy and me were "forced" into hosting a tupperware party... and there weren't many pple that i could invite... but prisy invited most of her workmates and i only invited yochi and anna... it was actually quite a success... started at ard 730pm with the lady playing a small game with us and after that, proceeded to making something called tuppertruffles... which were quite nice... anything with chocolate in it is nice to me... and then she went on to explain abt some of the tupperwares that she brought to demonstrate... and then played another game... i liked this game though... all of us (since we were all females, can u imagine a guy at this kind of party?)... abit suspicious... anyway, we were split into two teams and when she mentioned an item, we had to see who can produce that item the fastest from our handbags... it was really hilarious actually... like u wouldn't believe what we girls actually have in our handbags... like for eg when she said a calculator... no one has it except me and everyone was laughing while i was frantically digging thru my purse for it... i didn't really think it's funny to have a calculator with me... u actually need it sometimes... and stuff like screwdrivers... thank god no one actually carries one ard... weird??... tampons... haha... foreign money... fun...

and coincidentally, it was yochi's bdae that day too... so i bought a choc mud cake for her and we celebrated for her... this was the first time since i met her and anna since the vacation... and apparently... a few pple have dropped out of the course... hmmm... and... i actually only found out that night that my friend anna, whom i have known for like almost a year already... has a baby boy leh and i didn't even know abt it till now... i was totally shocked when she mentioned it during the party... not that we were really close or what... but shouldn't we know something like that?? not that i am trying to be kaypo or something...

PIctUreS...

Some more pics of them... thanks Nao for the pics... :)

Prisy, Nao and me in the sydney entertainment centre waiting for their performance...

Picture of them in action... i noe it's quite small...


On the day of the Backstreet boys' concert... outside the sydney entertainment centre...

At the wedding... wished my hair could flick up like prisy's...

"DowN"dAte...

get the joke??!
went out with karen on wed to the city... of course we sang karaoke and then went to search for a present for yochi's bdae... found this really cute photo album-like wooden box... you open the lid and u can pull out the photos... very nice... this was the first time i met up with karen since uni ended last year... she is still trying to look for a job... she's been here the whole time cos she did not go back home this time...

and on fri... went out with prisy again to the city... went to her fren wendy's house to eat pizza... with nao and edlyn... watched the punisher... a cheesy show btw... and then went to this bar called equilibrium... i did not really feel like going and it was raining that night and when we reached the bar... it was quite crowded... and i didn't feel comfortable... i really felt like going home and prisy had to leave early bcos i really did not like the place... so i did not talk at all and besides... the music's so loud... and i was tired... sigh... prisy was also like saying next time she dun have to invite me to go to these kind of places... i totally agree... they are just not my kind of place... :(

oh and btw... these few days... prisy and me have been on a "FULL House" marathon... the korean show... it is sooo funny and the characters are so cute... so weird to see song hae gyo laughing and acting cute... cos her shows mostly are all crying types... remember autumn in my heart? i love the show but there are just too much crying... actually when i went back to singapore in dec... pong already asked me to watch the show cos she has the vcd... but i was not really interested... and then prisy's fren wendy lent her the vcd and she was watching it one day and i also got hooked onto it... it's quite a good show actually... i can't believe i am saying this...but i think it's better than meteor garden... the two of them are so cute and funny together... i actually went online to research their ages... cos the both of us thought that she looked older than him... but they are actually of the same age... and... for those of u who dun noe... they are going out together... so sweet... and the guy rain is actually quite popular everywhere... although i have not heard of him until i watched the show... pong also like him... yuck...

BaCkStReet'S bAck...

Backstreet Boys!!! AAAHHHH... (imagine andrea screaming like a maniac)... well... i dun think anyone who noes me has seen me screaming like a maniac... but that's what i was doing that night at the concert... ohmigod... the concert was soooooooo good... i did not regret spending that money to watch the backstreet boys perform live... it was like a childhood dream come true for me... since i started liking them when i was 13... i have always wanted to go watch them perform live and last mon... i finally fulfilled my dream... i can't believe i am actually in the same space as them not far away from me... breathing the same air as me... the whole place was literally packed with screaming girls... oh man... it was amazing... when they first come out singing The Call... the whole place was just filled with screams... nick looked abit chubbier and we all felt that his eyes looked abit weird... like he was taking drugs or something... i hope not... brian still looked the same... older... aj, howie and kevin also looked the same... we were so so lucky to get the seats that we had...

they sang both old songs and new... stuff like All I Have to give... Quit playing games with my heart... I want it that way... Drowning...to new songs like Incomplete... I still... Crawling back to you... the effects were also excellent... they had like lasers... fireworks... and snow... they also took time out in between their songs to thank the fans individually... oh... and then brian actually came up to the level where we were sitting but by the time i ran there... he had already gone back down to the stage... i was so close...it was just absolutely breath-taking... after the concert, the four of us still kept talking abt them and i even bought their official merchandise... even though i got so many of their stuff already... i should have gotten the buttons... shit... i totally fell in love with them all over again... still remembered the first time i saw them on MTV... when i was 13... it was actually their video clip of everybody (backstreet's back)... they will always be the greatest band in my heart... i hope they will continue making more good music... I love the BACKSTREET BOYS!!!

ChiNeSe nEw yEaR...

firstly... would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year... hmmm... hope that this year will be much much better than the last... this year is also the year that many of the friends that i noe will be celebrating their 21st... whew... time really flies... all of us becoming adults now... no more teenagers and fooling around... haha... who says after 21 cannot behave like a small child??!! i dun care... i will still behave in whatever way i like and who cares what insignificant others say... missed chinese new year this year again... 2 yrs in a row already leh... will i have bad luck or something??!!

first up is my dearest fran's bdae... she held her bdae dinner on the 21st jan which unfortunately i could not attend... actually tried to call her home wanting to wish her happy birthday but she was not in... so i had to msg her instead... happy Birthday Fran!!! wish you well in whatever you do and best of health... fran is someone whom you can really depend on and she was there for me whenever i needed help or someone in crescent... i have known her since primary 5 and coincidentally this year marks our 10 year friendship... glad that our friendship is able to withstand the test of time and space... when i saw her the last time i went back, she was still the same fran that i knew and liked since crescent and kellock... wanna take this opportunity to thank you for ur precious friendship and unforgettable memories that u have given me... i will always treasure them... thank you, fran...

last week my granduncle oliver and his wife came to live with us for a few days... and thanks to them... i got to eat chinese food like fried fish, my favourite which i have not eaten for a long time... although we dun normally see each other back in singapore... i still remembered him teaching me maths when i was in kindergarten and primary school... counting sticks and numbers...
now that prisy has started working... i am the only one left at home and i am sooo bored... and when uni starts in march, i will have to go to school alone and endure the long train rides myself... sigh... still got three more years to go...
well... tonight is the backstreet boys concert in sydney entertainment centre... quite excited actually... finally will get the chance to see them up close... hopefully i can take some pictures and then can post here...

The WeDDiNg...

u noe what? i really am not a people-person and who noes why i am taking this course that i am studying now... i get a headache or feel uncomfortable whenever i am in crowded places... or when there are alot of people crowding into my personal space... that was what happened at the wedding... i dun noe many of the people there... just the few cousins that i have met so far...

firstly, we proceeded to this outdoor garden... it was not really a garden just this open space where the ceremony was held... the bride came in a car and she was wearing a traditional burmese costume... exchanged their vows... signed some stuff... and then all of us went up to congratulate them... take photos... mingle... make small talk... but as i dunno most of the pple there... i just stood there feeling so extra and perspiring... and then have to wait quite awhile for dinner to start while we were served drinks and some finger food... so they were going ard taking pics... talked to some of prisy's aunties and cousins... while a headache is brewing... finally dinner is served and we got to choose betwn lamb or chicken... i obviously chose chicken and it was not that great... and then more talking with the family members of both the bride and groom coming up to speak... toasted to them a few times... more small talking... not me though... i hate small talks and i have no idea what can i talk to these pple abt... dessert was served... which i didn't eat and we were told that we could go up to the small space in front to dance... i dun want to but everyone went and i thought it would not be nice if i did not... had quite a good time trying to dance though... it was funny seeing all these older pple dance... some of them danced quite well also... finally they served the wedding cake... chocolate flavoured... yum yum... the only nice tasting food that night besides the cheese pastry that they served before dinner...

this was only the fourth wedding i've been to... the other three were more formal... i just sat there at the table and ate all the food served and listening to them talk... there were no dancing... just felt that this one was more informal i think... and it wasn't held in a restaurant... well if i ever got married... i would not want a ceremony or anything... just go straight to my honeymoon... haha...

HappY 1st AnNivErsArY...

well, today marks my first blog exactly one year ago and the day i landed in sydney to begin my new chapter in life... sigh even my blogskin is still the same template... personally... i dunno if i have become more mature... and last year was not a bad year... tried a few new things and made some new friends... this job that i have now is the longest one i have had... 7 months already... studies... not too bad results... still dunno if this course is the one that i really want... and 'ji ren li xia' is definitely not as easy as it seems... but it beats staying on my own... will be turning 21 this year... full-fledged adult... well at least i got one of the C's already... working hard to get the others... haha... today is also prisy's cousin's wedding... got invited too... luckily the rain has stopped and it's a sunny outside... will update on the wedding...

CoMplAiNtS n BitChInGs...

nothing to talk much about... except that i found out only a few days ago that one of my fav supervisors at work quit and she was no longer working in the supermarket already... she was the one who trained me initially and she was nice to me... like i dun understand why all the nice pple always leave and the-not-so-nice ones are the ones that always stay... torturing poor pple like me... clean this clean that... the worst part of the job has to be the times when i have to go throw the rubbish at the backdock and it stinks like hell... they dun clean the place at all... food decomposing also they dun care... now that the two nicer supervisors have already left... dun really like going to work there... especially have to see the evil woman... WHY hasn't she leave yet??!! sigh... i seriously think the uni vacation is too long... nothing to do except now that michelle's got me hooked on crossword puzzles... that's what i've been doing... crossword puzzles and reading books... sad... and it's so hot outside and inside... dun even feel like going anywhere in this weather... looking forward to the backstreet boys' concert...

HaPPy nEw YeAr...

recently, i cannot blog so often already cos our broadband width's limited... so now we are thinking of upgrading our broadband plan and i was assigned the task of finding the most suitable plan for us... after researching for the whole afternoon and getting a humongous headache afterwards... i realised that there are alot of things to think abt when choosing a broadband plan... but i am glad i got the task of finding all these stuff cos i felt that i have learnt alot from it... we finally decided on a plan today and it will be better for all of us cos we get to download alot of stuff and i get to use the webcam whenever i like...

anyway... last sat was new year's eve and i was working and that day had to be one of the most shitty days of work i had... it was so freaking hot outside and then in the store also... and then there were so many pple and they bought so much stuff... i was perspiring like mad inside man and i didn't sleep well the night before also... so all in all... it was a very shitty new year's eve...
jan 1 2006... can be described in one word... HOT... the temp surged to 44 degrees that day leh... it was so freaking hot that we had to stay downstairs the whole day and i sat near the fan the whole time... just leaving the vicinity of the fan made me giddy from the heat... we watched movie after movie... closed all the windows and switched on all our fans... watched alien vs predator... the war of the worlds... iron giant... x men2... and news reports said that there were many bushfires occurring that day...

and then the next few days raining... weird weather rite... one day hot and then the next day cold... went to lane cove to swim with prisy... i swam in the indoor pool cos i did not want to sunburn again... and then after that both of us went to cherrybrook village to eat at this italian place that prisy said their pizza was very nice... both of us shared a pizza... it was okay lah... i would prefer dominoes pizza though... cheap and nice to eat...

StiLL oN HoliDae...

forgot to wish everyone a very merry christmas... haha is it too late... then happy new year lor...
sunday was christmas, so all the shops were closed... so uncle suggested bringing us to travel the newly-opened M7 expressway, so we drove all the way to this faraway place called cabramatta... which according to them was a place consisting mostly of vietnamese... everything was vietnamese stuff and the place was packed with them... it was good to see other cultures and they actually sell some really cool stuff (like the scissors used by the hairdressers)... spent quite some time there and we went to check out this place where all the designer houses are... seeing all these nice houses make me wish i have alot of money so that i can renovate my home to become like one of theirs... sigh... we even saw one home which has the bushes in their front lawn shaped into animals... really funny...

monday was boxing day... my uncle's side family has a gathering every year on this day... went to this beach (i dunno what it's called) abt an hour's drive and the place was also packed with families on picnic and bbqing... it was a really hot day also... the beach was really nice though... the sand was soft and clean, not like in singapore... and the water was clear you can see the small fishes... got quite a tan and bcos my sunblock lotion was not enough for this weather, my back got really sunburnt... it is all red and painful still... it's good that their family take the time to meet up with one another every year and they appear to be quite close... unlike my mum's and father's side family... we only see each other during chinese new year, and i am not even close to some of them, i dun even noe if i will recognise them if we see each other on the streets...

tues... post christmas sale... of course we went on a shopping trip to hornsby... to check out all the sale... bought a photo album to store all my photos... and then had to go to work in the late afternoon so didn't get to spend alot of time there...
the supervisors came back to me regarding the cookies... all of them said the famous amos cookies were very nice... they ate until they can't stop... and asked me where i got them etc... it was actually abit like a bribe thing...
and prisy and me are on a firefly marathon again... i missed watching it when i was in s'pore... and when the hell is Serenity coming out??!!!

and then yesterday... prisy and me went to the city for karaoke... yay!! found some nice songs again... by rainie yang... realised she's a really good singer though, she always like to act cute also... here sing karaoke is much cheaper than singing in kbox leh... like tat time me and huimin went to sing... so expensive...

ParT II...

Thurs... went out in the morning, wanted to go to toa payoh to get stuff that i wanted to bring back with me... went to toa payoh popular queuing up wanted to pay money already then realised that i forgot my wallet... so stupid rite... can't believe how dumb i was... in the end i had to go all the way back home again to get it... stupid andrea...

met up with huimin, jo, fran and esther to play bowling... so long never play already that's why the first time was very sucky... the second time was better... enjoyed myself... but the dumb dumb sherry said that she will join us later in the end also never turned up... angie also... said want to meet us at raffles place, in the end when we got there... she also did not turn up... quite disppointed... went to wisma to get my famous amos cookies before heading to raffles place... whoa... so many pple queuing up for it lor and i think some pple were actually quite irritated with me cos i was taking such a long time... for my supevisors at work and for myself... huimin they all had to wait for me also... thanks guys...
went to this curry place esther recommended... i personally felt that the curry tasted the same as the one we ate in wisma... but esther said that the one at raffles place was more worth it...
after that... jo came up with the idea to walk to esplanade... i wouldn't have minded normally but it was actually raining quite heavily that night leh... so we had to take out our umbrellas... and something funny happened... dun want to say lah... just fran and her "passed-down-from-her-family" umbrella incident... haha... we were laughing and talking so loudly that everyone was looking at us at the traffic lights...
reached the esplanade... fran wanted to go eat her haagen daz ice cream cos jo's got this discount coupon... btw... when we were at great world city... me and humin saw the ben and jerry's shop and we were so excited! i really wanted to eat ben and jerry's when i went back... oh it was sooo nice, especially the brownie one... yummy...

all in all it was really a good night for me... the day before i had to leave to go back to sydney... thanks for spending the day with me guys... thanks for the cards and prezzie...

23 dec 2005... fri had to wake up early morning to leave for the airport and back to sydney... back to work and uni and have to wait another year, if i am lucky and if i earn enough money probably, to go back home again... sigh... i suddenly have this feeling when i was waving goodbye that going back home makes it harder for me to leave... suddenly i felt so homesick again... tried really hard not to cry in front of them... sometimes i never know when the feeling of homesickness will come and grab me and then i will start thinking abt my family and start missing them... dun think i will ever get used to this feeling...

CatCHinG uP...

mon... went to the polyclinic to collect my blood test results... mostly okay but cholesterol levels abit high... after that, went to sgh to visit nainai... when i reached there, she was sleeping so i woke her up and stayed till pong and prisy came too...
the three of us then went to plaza singapura... both of them went to shop and i went there to meet up with piyo... she was late so we went to long john silver's... the chicken combo was still as tasty as i remembered...
saw a pair of sandals that i liked... with pink straps but the shop only has one pair left and it was quite dirty so i asked them to find out for me if they could ask the other outlets if they have it... pong went to pickup for me at wisma... very diffcult to find a pair of sandals that is cheap and at the same time does not hurt my leg... but the strap still quite painful but it was quite cheap so can't expect much...

piyo finally came... she looked the same but i told her that she looked abit shorter compared to the last time i saw her... we went up to the cinema level to check out the movies... she wanted to watch the memoirs of a geisha... at the counter then realised that it only come out in jan... she blur... thought it comes out in dec 19... so in the end watched king kong... and it was so crowded that we had to sit in the first 5 rows... but the movie was quite good... abit scary sometimes but also funny at times... walked ard for awhile... then went to get something to eat to bring into the theatre... saw this stall selling some hong kong 'ji dan zai'... decided to try... not bad... but had to wait quite a long time for them to make...
piyo is going to adelaide to study in jan... study podiatry... she was offered a scholarship by sgh and the bond is 8 yrs!! super long lor... but at least she got out of the course that is doing now... she dun like it... i told her maybe next time... she and angie can come to sydney to visit me...

tues... day of pampering... went to highlight my hair and to this facial place in orchard... actually it was mum who got this complimentary coupon and she gave it to me and prisy... the place was so nice and huge... really love it and the facial was also quite good... after that, went to bugis with prisy and pong then later we went to meet up with mum at plaza singapura... wanted to show her this coldwear shop that was on sale... but the stuff that i wanted was sold out already... in the end... only managed to buy this coat at this fashion... quite cheap also for a coat...

wed... nainai was finally discharged from the hospital... the doctor did not even come and tell us what caused her to have the dizziness and spasms... only the nurse and the pharmicist came... shouldn't they come and tell us what was wrong?? stupid hospital... anyway... uncle sent nainai and us back to her home and then we went to the temple to pray... i noe nainai does not like to stay in our home but it's not safe for her to live on her now... i hope that she'll be fine from now on... but her leg's still worrying...

WoRrY...

went back to nyp on sat to meet up with inthu... oh man... nyp is still the nicest schoool i've been to compared to that hole i am in now... nyp is so nice and big and so spacious... got nice swimming pool also... was actually late and poor inthu had to wait for me... sat in front of mcdonalds' and talked for awhile... and after that, she brought me up to the OT garden to look at the plants... and guess who we saw... silvana!! hi... actually wanted to ask the class out for dinner or something... but heard that they are all on placements and busy so in the end, decided not to... next time k...
after they watered their plants and showed me ard the garden... silvana left first and me and inthu went down to the north canteen to drink... my fav soya bean... haha... i even ate the grilled fish and chips... still as tasty as before... halfway thru... mum suddenly called and said nainai was sent to the A&E department in sgh... i was like what happened and of course started to panic...
was supposed to meet siti later but then i called her to cancel it and inthu was really kind to go with me all the way to sgh... thanks...

reached there and found out that nainai almost fainted again in her house... luckily prisy was there with her... waited with mum and uncle and prisy for them to come out and tell us what was wrong with nainai... stayed there till they transferred her to the ward and said she has to stay there a few days for further observation... poor nainai... she hates to stay in hospitals...

sun... went swimming in the morning... and after that... went to see nainai again... cos it was sunday... so the ward was especially crowded with relatives... and then 2 of my uncles came also and then nainai's brother and sisters also came to visit her... so in the end... the whole place was really crowded... they told us that her blood test came out okay... blood pressure was also okay... they still cannot tell us what was wrong with nainai... so they have to slowly do some more tests on her...
after that... went out to marina square again!! to eat swensens... yummy... so long never eat already... ordered my fav fish and chips... ordered my fav frosted choc malt and then later they came and tell us that the choc balls no more already... so in the end i didn't get to eat my frosted choc malt... ate till i was so full man... later... prisy, pong and me went shopping ard there... bought another hook earrings again... obsession...

CroWdEd...

last fri went to meet up with melissa in city hall... so long never see her already... abt 3 yrs i think... she still looked the same... also as crazy and liked to laugh alot like last time in sajc... walked along city link then to marina square... she decided to eat at carl's junior... btw... dun EVER eat there... so expensive and not nice to eat at all... saw zoe tay and hong huifang eating there also... but never go and ask for their autographs lah... shy... haha... after that... walked around marina square... the whole place changed alot... alot of nice cute shops on the third floor... and i finally found what i've been wanting to find... my hooked earrings... yay... found them at ice lemon tee... very very hard to find leh... both here and in sydney... bought 2 earrings... for pple who dun have ear holes (like me)... and then after that... we went to esplanade to try the chocolate bar that everyone's been talking abt... the crazy melissa have absolutely NO sense of directions at all... brought me to the wrong way to the esplanade... walked a big circle to get there... anyway... after eating at the choc bar... hmmm... nothing fancy though... abit disappointed... i ate the waffles and melissa drank the strawberry drink...not that nice and i did not bring enough money... so she had to pay for me first... crap...

at night... went to bishan junction 8 to meet up with zhenzhen... so crowded there man... what's wrong with pple??? orchard also like that... from morning till night also got so many pple... went to the food court to eat ice kachang... yummy... and then sat there and talked for awhile... after that... i suggested that she come to my house to sit for awhile... so both of us came back home and watched the last episode of the dancing show... i dun even follow the show... just that it's the last episode that day... and she showed me some pictures of her in sri lanka... and she gave me this balloon in the shape of a flower... thanks...

EaT, eAt, and MorE eaTiNg...

didn't really do much for the first week since i came back...
except last fri when i met up with sherry, huimin, jo and fran... i think all of us still looked the same and also behave the same... not much changed since i left in jan... we met in our usual place in orchard and went to cafe cartel in cineleisure to eat... ordered too much already and jo also very full... so in the end... did not finish our seafood platter and we still ordered waffles... yummy... very hard to find waffles in sydney also... so no matter how full i was that day... i still ate the waffles... we talked abt what happened to them during this past yr and also my life in australia... i am glad that we all have our own blogs... so that at least even though we never really communicate during the year... we still at least know what's going on in our lives... we ate, talked and took pictures... halfway thru... sherry had to leave... and after the dinner, we walked over to the youth park thinking to look for a place where we can sit and talk... jo suggested to walk to the esplanade... me and fran were like no... so far away leh and so late already... took pictures in front of the red bus in the youth park... then we went into cineleisure again cos there got no space and got alot of pple skateboarding... shopped for awhile inside... went up to the sofas and sat down there and talked till 11pm... gossiped some more... talked till we were the only ones left there... even better... got more space... after that... fran went to take bus at the busstop outside cineleisure and jo, huimin and me walked to orchard mrt...
on the way... i saw the escalators outside wisma very nice... got multi colours... so i asked them to take pics... when we wanted to take the stupid colours changed and we had to stand there and wait for like 10 min... for the colour to change back to the multi colour one... it was really funny...

and then yesterday... huimin went out with me and pong to sing karaoke at cineleisure k-box...whoa... damn expensive leh... from 2-7pm... it costs us $16 each...but we all sang till our heart's content... hmmm... i think this is the first time i heard huimin singing... i always thought she was more the english songs kind of girl... haha... but she sang the chinese songs really well... not bad... and then after that... pong left first and esther came and met up with us... btw... esther... it's not that i purposely walked pass you, it's that i really didn't see you cos i was looking at the sky outside and wondering if it was going to rain...
went to paragon, walked awhile inside the supermarket and then went to lucky plaza, to check out this perfume that i wanted... here more expensive, so i decided to get it when i go back...
after that, we decided to eat at the foodcourt in wisma... they renovated the whole place and it was so crowded... but very nice place... realised that the mcdonald's in wisma is gone!!! how can that be??!! what else in orchard changed that i dun noe abt?? haven't really got the chance to walk there... finally decided on this north indian place that esther and huimin recommend... the food not bad except the portion all very small... and hey... u two promised to bring me to the curry place in raffles place and little india ah... dun forget!!
