easter hols' part 2...

this is a continuation of my easter hols' update...
last thurs, went to the city for karaoke... okay but this time, i went with huilin and a few singaporean pple from the spp program that i attended last year... it was quite fun but at the same time, weird... fun bcos i love karaoke, and i have not been for a long long time and going with singaporeans are better bcos i get exposed to a wider variety of songs and can then update my song list... haha... now got 2 new songs which i like... one by rainie yang called "zhi xiang ai ni" and the other is by jolin tsai, "dao dai"...
i also got to eat my korean spicy beef twice... yes, twice, for both lunch and dinner... haha... it has got to be the nicest korean food i have ever eaten... even better than ceci...
but the weird thing abt going karaoke with them is... i dun even noe them well, even huilin, although she was also from njc and we were in the same cca... we were not even close then, but we have gotten quite close now, dunno why, maybe bcos when u are in a foreign land, when u meet someone from the same place as u... u will naturally bond with them, like they actually know what u are saying and we understand each other... like for eg, at karaoke, we did funny things like the kallang wave and took alot of pics... and the singlish naturally comes out... when i am talking to the aussies for eg or even friends who are non-s'porean, i have to mentally check my language first before speaking...
anyway, back to karaoke, we started at 1pm and sang till like 8pm... aren't we die-hard karaoke fans??!!

and then huilin came over to stay for a night... and we stayed up to watch failure to launch, which was not nice btw, the two leads just dun have the chemistry... and they look funny together...
and then on fri, we went to hornsby to shop...
okay, our first stop was kmart cos huilin needed to get something, and so while i was browsing ard, i happen to see the post-easter sale going on... ALL the easter chocolate eggs were selling for $1 each, both big and small kinds... i totally freaked man!
i grabbed as many as i could, got huilin and the both of us started to grab the easter eggs like they dun need money...
in the end, we ended up with 3 bags each of eggs and bcos they were so bulky, we had difficulty walking, much less shopping... after a few shops, i was like exhausted already, my fingers were about to break man...

on sat... had to work the whole day, and at night, michelle's friends came over for dinner, and we ate pizza again... i have been eating so many pizza since uncle and auntie were gone, it's not funny... so sick of it already... apparently, one of her colleagues, diana, who's also s'porean, is going back to singapore to work permanently soon... she's really funny though... although she's been here for so many years already, she's still really singaporean... i actually think i will be like that too... even though i am going to be here for quite awhile, i will still act like a s'porean, still speak singlish and stuff... i still remember our national anthem... haha...

sun... alamak... the supermarket where i work suddenly blacked out, after i just started work... and it lasted for an hour and a half, i thought we would be allowed to go home, since we can't do anything about it, but no... we had to start cleaning everything, and after that, help to do shelving... irritating man... the lights came back on after awhile and i thought it would already be like 9pm, but no... it was only 730pm... ohmigod, i still have like 3 hours to go... great... apparently, we were not the only ones affected, the surrounding areas were also affected and the whole stretch of road at thornleigh was pitch dark...
hmm... recently, all the cute guys at woolies all disappeared, sian man...

EasTeR HoLs...

okay... the one-week easter holidays... a summary of what i have been up to till now...
fri... stayed at home, spring-cleaning with prisy and michelle... otherwise by the time auntie and uncle comes back, the house will become a pig sty and unrecognisable... haha... why girls drop so many hairs??!!

sat... worked the whole day... woolies was so busy... which is good bcos it means that i dun have to do other stuff like cleaning or putting rubbish at the back or putting stock away... very tired when i went back home...

sun... went to this jetty-like place, it's called a wharf btw... to try out this new equipment that michelle's colleague, steve, has... u are supposed to jump on it and it will carry you around on the waters... but that is if u did it correctly, if not, u will end up just sinking into the water instead of hopping ard on it... steve made it look so easy but i can tell you, it's not... okay, i did not actually try it in the end though... i am such a coward... but it was amusing watching the others try... i did go into the waters to float ard though... it was FREEzing! after i went in, i could not even feel my fingers and feet... it was also quite dirty... all i could see down below was green... and stuff floating ard, i dun even want to now what things are down below... anyway, spent quite a long time there, got quite a nice tan also... and after, we went to this chicken place called nando's to eat dinner... dun really like the food there though... and after that, they all proceeded to our house to celebrate my cousin's boyfriend's brother's bdae... they bought ice-cream cake, which was really yummy... but after that, i did not join them anymore, went upstairs to study for abit and sleep soon after...

mon... went to yochi's house to study... her uncle's family went away on hols somewhere and she had to stay home to look after their dog and chickens... yup, u read it correctly... they rear chickens, 1 rooster and 5 hens... and according to her, the rooster is very protective of his hens... he will attack anyone who comes near them, so she always has a hard time feeding them... anyway, studied for abit, ate pizza for lunch, and after awhile of studying, i told her i felt sleepy so she suggested washing her dog to wake me up... the shampoo for the dog was so smelly... yuck... nevertheless, it worked... i was awake, studied abit more and it's time for dinner... she cooked pasta and we watched the notebook as we ate... i actually watched it b4 already... but i still cried at the end... yochi also cried... it was quite funny... the two of us crying as we ate... slept over at her house...

tues... met up with amelia, and the three of us went to macquarie to watch the inside man... the whole place was so crowded, even though it was 10am, forgot that it was the school hols for the school kids too... i personally did not like the movie, maybe bcos there was just too much talking, and maybe the plot was too 'chim' for my brain... almost fell asleep halfway... did i also mention that i also watched zathura... but it was pirated one... but i liked it... quite scary though...

wed... sian ah... had to go back to school bcos i had library books due... had to walk to school and it was so hot that day... when i reached school, i was so ready to 'beng' already lor... but i still managed to do something productive... did research for HO and COP... HO is due first wk of may, how??? i dun even now what are we supposed to talk abt... it's on leisure and OT... and i have neuroscience mid-sem exam friday... shit... neuroscience is definitely a huge leap from last yr's syllabus... i need help!

okay, i am going to stop here for now, have to go cook dinner... this blog entry is getting too long... will blog soon k...

I aM sAd...

celebrated amelia's 21st bdae last thurs... went to the other side of eastwood to eat at this korean steamboat place... okay, i didn't noe abt this in eastwood until last week also, but on one side of eastwood, it's all asian stuff, mostly chinese stuff, and that's where the roast pork shop and the cheap rental shop is which i kept talking abt before... and on the other side, it's where all the korean restaurants and shops are... they even have shops selling the korean traditional costume... how cool is that!! interesting huh... we ordered this huge bowl of spicy pork rib soup and this seafood omelette... okay, i dun really eat all that stuff, so i ended up just eating rice, alot alot of potatoes and abit of the omelette... that's why whenever i have to go out and eat, very 'chi kueh' one... and it's not cheap, just the steamboat alone costs $50!!??
but i think we all enjoyed ourselves... too bad i could not post the pics... dunno why blogger does not let me post them... and then after eating, we decided to go hunt for angela's 21st bdae present (i am soooo broke already!!)... she already told us that she wants a cap, mechanical pencil and a jacket... somehow she reminds me of fran... very practical person...
went to macquarie shopping centre to look... did not do much shopping cos it's not really sale season yet so everything's still quite expensive... found her a nike light blue cap, a grey jacket and a mechanical pencil... all in 2 hours' time... aren't we efficient?? haha...

i have got a really sad news... my parents just called and told me that we have to sell our home... (sobs) and we have to move out by the end of this year... i really love the location that i am living in and the house... and what's worse is that by the time next year when i go back to singapore, i will not be going back there already... did not even get the chance to see the house for the last time or say goodbye...

btw... happy easter!!!

LaST wEeK...

this blogging business is getting abit delayed... it's already a week past what i am going to blog on... anyway, last sun caught up with huilin... if u remember, she's the one who also goes to NJ... she's doing speech therapy now... anyway, went to bondi with her, prisy and her fren, wendy...
we did not shop together though... went our separate ways after arriving at westfield... personally, bondi westfield is like the high-end shopping centre... all the branded and expensive stuff... not my type, huilin also like me, only go for cheap stuff... me, i would choose hornsby or castle towers anytime for shopping... that's why i told huilin i will invite her up to our place next time so that we can go shop at these places... we finished walking in abt an hours' time... actually thinking abt it now... it's kind of weird... cos we were not even close in jc... but we could not stop talking, she likes to talk, very bubbly and she likes brightly-coloured stuff... haha... we are actually quite different in tastes... took quite a few pics which i am going to post... we ate lunch with prisy and wendy at this italian place... actually i wanted to go to the city to eat my fav spicy beef rice, but huilin seemed to want to eat there so we ended up eating there... quite expensive and i ordered fish and chips... when my food came, the fish was like 3 tiny strips only lor... cheat my money...
i had fun that day though, too bad i had to leave early for work... :(

then last week, also called zhenzhen... she was so funny when she answered the phone and i told her who's calling... probably did not expect me to call her... just wanted to ask for her opinion regarding the OT conference... btw... the whole story was... our uni held a lucky draw for 5 lucky pple to attend one day of the conference for free... so a few of us entered... angela and yochi got it... but angela did not want to go so she asked the person-in-charge whether she can let me have the ticket instead... the stupid lady said no, it's not fair to the rest blah blah... and if she dun want it, she has to write a note saying she wants to forfeit and they will redraw... i wanted to go so badly... but i really could not afford the ticket... so in the end... after talking to zhenzhen, i decided not to go... maybe next time when i can actually afford it...

Soo eNviOuS...

for those fools out there, Happy April Fools'... haha...
juz kidding... anyway, i am now into week 5 of uni and already we are going into april, which means it's getting colder and darker by the day, it's autumn now and soon, winter's here and i am soo not looking forward to waking up at 6am in the morning... :(

anyway, been working alot these few weeks, and no time to revise... i am soo dead... thinking of telling my supervisor that i wish to reduce my working days to only 3 days a week... becos if this continues, i would not be able to catch up... went out with prisy on thurs... late night shopping at hornsby, and i bought boots and perfume... shopping spree man... i already have 2 perfumes already... actually wanted to get ralph lauren's ralph for a long time now, but it's so expensive, so i bought paris hilton instead... which has a similar smell and apparently it lasts longer and cheaper too... and then that day at hornsby, i bought fcuk's her... really must stop spending...

today, rarely that the three of us are all at home, so prisy suggested we visit Homeworld, a place where designer homes are built for pple to go in and take a look ard... whoa... everything all so nice, especially the brick houses, and there were a few homes with really nice toilets, they have like a huge toilet with a jacuzzi, a shower and 2 sinks... and some of the bedrooms have really big walk-in wardrobes, it's like another room by itself... and then there was this really nice room with like an extended ledge by the window, which u can sit on and maybe read a book at night... and rooms with windows over the bed, so that at night u can open the windows and look at the stars... seeing all these beautiful homes make me wish that i have lots of money... all of us were like ooh and aahing... so envious... hope that one day, i will be able to afford a home of my own... and two dogs...
