LyRiCs...

Since I am currently on the hana kimi/wu zun/fahrenheit phase now, I decided to post the lyrics of some of the nice songs that I have heard from them... trying to look for the song"dong le" by tank in the hana kimi OST... does anybody know where to get it or have it??


专属天使 - Tank

我不会怪你 对我的伪装天使在人间是该藏 好翅膀人们愚蠢鲁莽 而你纤细善良怎能让你 为了我被碰伤

小小的手掌 厚厚的温暖你总能平复我不安 的夜晚不敢想的梦想 透过你的眼光我才看见 它原来在前方
没有谁能把你抢离我身旁 (我身旁)你是我的专属天使唯我能独占
没有谁能取代你在我心上 (我心上)拥有一个专属天使我哪里还需要别的愿望

小小的手掌 大大的力量我一定也会像你 一样飞翔 (一样飞翔)你想去的地方 就是我的方向有我保护 笑容尽管灿烂
没有谁能把你抢离 我身旁 (我身旁)你是我的 专属天使唯我能独占
没有谁能取代你在我身上 (我身上)拥有一个专属天使我哪里还需要别的愿望Woo~

要不是你出现我一定还在沉睡Oh 绝望的以为生命只有黑夜
没有谁能把你抢离我身旁 (我身旁)你是我的 专属天使唯我能独占
没有谁能取代你在我身上 (我身上)拥有一个 专属天使我哪里还需要别的愿望 Woo Wu Woo Ho~ Wu~ Ho

飛輪海 - 夏雪

你給的愛帶著溫度 尤其擁抱時最清楚
心跳傳來的起伏 像一顆跳動的暖爐
手放進口袋的溫度 融化了走過的路途
冰天雪地的國度 能抱著你就很滿足
誰都知道氣候會變 更別說諾言
你的冬衣還留在我窗前

你的世界已經準時晴天 遠方的我在夏天看雪
我的孤獨慢慢凍結 在沒有你的夜
給我的愛已經過了期限 而我的心在夏天下雪
明明寒冬已經很遠 我還是無法 結束這冬眠

我的世界亂了季節 赤道居然會飄著雪
熱帶雨林的原野 看起來白茫茫一片
回憶在我心中積雪 連日出也無法融解
應該流汗的夏天 可是卻一直流眼淚

誰都知道氣候會變 更別說諾言
你的冬衣還留在我窗前
你的世界已經準時晴天 遠方的我在夏天看雪
我的孤獨慢慢凍結 在沒有你的夜
給我的愛已經過了期限 而我的心在夏天下雪
明明寒冬已經很遠 我還是無法 結束這冬眠

沒有你的夜
你的世界已經準時晴天 遠方的我在夏天看雪
我的孤獨慢慢凍結 在沒有你的夜
給我的愛已經過了期限 而我的心在夏天下雪
明明寒冬已經很遠 我還是無法 結束這冬眠

SiAN diAo...

almost been back for a week already and everything's felt like what it used to be... be it at home here or at work... it's like nothing has changed, like I have always been here and not been back for 3 months... at work... the same faces... except that apparently a few check-out staff left... not many new faces... and the long-anticipated last second episode of hana kimi is finally aired... and i actually could not sleep the whole of last night... woke up early this morning just to watch it on youtube... how sad am I... was quite disappointed... the whole episode is mostly on that famous photographer wanting to expose ruixi... and this coming sunday is the finale... can't wait to see who will confess first... haha... ruixi or quan??!! and xiuyi is going out with ruixi's friend... haha...

resumed my driving lessons... i am no longer scared of driving but i almost knocked into another car bcos I took a long time checking my side mirror and blindspot and went into the other lane today... so scary...

STatuS: bAcK in sYDnEy...

Yes, I am officially back in sydney... and the weather here is still really hot... and apparently my worries that my work has forgotten abt me is not true... cos just this morning my auntie told me that my supervisor called and i have shifts on both saturday and sunday... sian man...

and btw... i know it's abit late but... Happy Chinese New Year!!! I am so happy that I got to spend this year's chinese new year here with my family and relatives... although we are not close, i still am happy that we got to gather and see each other... I have not seen some of them for two years... i still remember the times when we were small... all of us were really cute back then but now everybody's grown and not so cute anymore... this year chinese new year was at one of my uncle's home... collected hongbaos and ate alot of stuff... took pictures and went off to visit the relatives on my father's side... then came back home and ate dinner with two of my uncle's family... had a reunion dinner at home with my father's friends from philippines... ate steamboat... and watched the chinese new year programs till midnight for the countdown... hopefully 2007 will be a good year...

and ohmigod... i found out that the last two episode of my hana kimi will only be shown two weeks later... i am going to be so depressed till then... i really hate having to wait so long to know the ending... i want to know what happens in the end... ahhhhh.....

HAnA kiMi...

went to smu to visit fran with huimin... fran brought us around her uni... her uni gave me an impression of being really quiet even though it's in the middle of the city... unlike NUS and NTU... where everywhere you turn, there are pple... we slacked awhile in one of the study rooms there, then huimin and I left for bugis street, in our search for bags... after walking for a long while in bugis, both huimin and I got a bag each... i actually wanted to get a sling bag but all the bags there were either not to my liking or too expensive... but i finally got a gold one at the basement of bugis junction... i will definitely miss all of them... although we dun see each other often, but i want to tell you guys that i often think of you guys and i am glad of our friendship... :)

i have been so caught up and obsessed with the new taiwanese drama called "Hua yang shao nian shao nu" with ella and wuzun that i have not been blogging... it's my new favourite show at the moment... ella's character is so cute and funny... and wuzun's so cute too... the bad thing is bcos the show's still airing in taiwan, i have to wait like two weeks more for the last 2 episodes... and i can't wait... i want to know what happens in the end... the show's really cute...

btw... 6 days more before leaving... sian man...

GAmeS & KTV...

alamak... these few days got so many new shows coming out... and i can't watch them when i go back... shows like the channel 8 happily ever after... the show cracks me up... haha... and the new channel 5 show parental guidance... saw the first episode and it's quite good... jessica hsuan spoke really good english... and heroes... have been watching every episode since and so far so good... now i really dun feel like going back... the shows there suck man... and i am watching victoria's secret fashion show now... whoa... nice underwear, pretty models, skinny bodies, long and shiny hair... haha...

met up with jo, huimin, fran and sherry that day and we went to mind cafe at prinsep place... initially the plan was to go wild wild wet but fran was sick... and i was actually surprised to see sherry... i had alot of fun at mind cafe... we played cluedo, taboo and this train game that jo introduced to us... very interesting... and we all laughing so loudly... we really must go there again the next time okay guys... and then after sherry left, we proceeded to chinatown for ktv... and bcos it's a friday and chinese new year was around the corner, it was so crowded... sian man... ate abit at smith street before going to ktv... although it's only $10++ i still preferred kbox, maybe bcos the atmosphere there was not that great and the songs seemed to be slower than usual... but still i had alot of fun... cos we kept singing "bimbo" songs like barbie girl and my oh my... i was really tired by the time i got home...

CAn'T beAR tO LeAve...

went to look at houses on sunday, bcos our block apparently finally was sold... so we have to move out soon... really dun want to move... after that we went to plaza singapura to do grocery shopping then went to lau pa sat to eat dinner... actually it was my idea to eat there cos i wanted to eat satay and stingray... ate till i was so full...

went to central at clarke quay that day... still not fully opened yet though and it was really quiet... nothing really special, also the usual shops, still looking for a nice and comfortable pair of sandals... and i went to trim my hair again before i go back... my resolve to keep my hair is starting to waver...

went to meet huilin at chinatown... this time it was my turn to be late... huilin, so sorry!! i really did not mean it... anyway, she wanted to eat at this two-storey hawker centre but we later found out that it was actually the one that moved to outram park... so in the end we ate at people's park complex... it was so freaking hot that day... after eating, we walked along temple street, smith street and although it was a weekday, there were still alot of people... everywhere was red... there were stalls selling new year goodies, the mochi sweets, new year stuff... actually it was also my first time walking there... if it wasn't that hot, it would have been a great experience...

2 MORe WeeKS...

i am counting down the number of weeks before i have to leave my family and friends...
did not do much this week except slacking at home... found out that i have benn posted to this northcott society for my clinical placement for 6 weeks in march... went to find out more abt the place and apparently they mainly deal with paediatrics and young adults with problems like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, etc... which made me realise that i will be dealing with prescribing equipment, helping them to look for jobs, employment skills, etc... it would be something really different from the previous two placements... i was actually hoping to do a hospital placement... but the good thing is it is not as far as my previous placement... really hope i will do well in this setting...

on a lighter note... went kbox with pong at suntec... the only thing was that i was wearing her sandals and they really hurt my toes... i was in pain for the whole afternoon... and i still can't find a nice suitable and comfortable sandals for myself...

met up with melissa and fran on saturday at orchard... we went to food republic to eat and we were lucky to have found seats... fran and i ate the fish with rice and melissa as usual was late... cos she forgot the time we were supposed to meet... after that, we just strolled along orchard road, went to heeren and centrepoint... apparently they added a few more shops but we found out that there were actually nothing much also, just some food shops, espirit and gap... all the expensive clothes...

CUtiE...

Last friday was fran's birthday!! went to ntu to visit huimin in the afternoon and attended one of her lectures... then after she brought me to her school and they had free food there... and we were like shit we should not have eaten just now... but we still thick-skinned and ate the fishballs, some sticky thing like soon kueh and the cakes... so full after... then after walked around jurong point, wanted to look for fran's present, but did not find anything in the end... met up with fran and jo at orchard... ate at ding feng tai at paragon... and i was so careless, spilled the soup onto my pants, alamak... my first time eating xiaolongbao... not bad actually, and we ordered alot... after that, walked around paragon, then to takashimaya, and i ate brownie again... and i saw christine at wisma... what a coincidence... and we planned to meet up again to go to wild wild wet...

got hooked onto another show, but it's a taiwanese serial this time... it's devil beside you... i now it has been out a long time already, but i just saw it on tv recently, and got soo hooked onto it that i stayed up all night to watch it on youtube... thank god for youtube now... haha... mike he xiaomei is so cute!!! haha... and apparently the two of them are going to act together again in another show called exchange love...

went to watch happy birthday with pong... what a sad ending... and although the show is quite draggy sometimes, it's still not bad... i think the show's trying to tell us to treasure the times u spent together with the person u love cos u never know when they will leave you without u even knowing one day... very sad...

LAst WEeK...

this is the last blog entry for january 2007... time really flies, soon it will be time for me to go back to sydney... very "she bu de"...
yochi left for sydney... hope she has enjoyed her stay here in singapore...
went to eat at carnivore vivocity with my dad and ate till i was so full that i did not eat dinner that day... watched pan's labyrinth with pong at lido... the movie's in spanish and it was not as scary as i thought it would be... but it was only okay, maybe a 5/10...

accompanied pong to nyp for their open house... too bad it was raining outside cos i wanted to take photos at the gardens... but it was interesting to be able to go back there again and see all the courses that they offer and to visit my favourite swimming pool and drink the soya bean... saw a few of my ex classmates... inthu, joanna, elaine, gurjit and brother... and i was like telling them that they seemed to be having more fun than what we have over there in sydney... they always seemed to be having exhibitions and stuff... so envious that they will graduating soon in june... while i still have two more years to go... after that, we went to J8 to shop a little while, nothing much, shall go visit the library there soon...

Oh. mY. gOD...

Day 5:
last day of yochi's visit here... went to the new bottle tree park at yishun... apparently the bottle trees were imported from australia... but i have not seen those kind of trees before myself... then we went to chinatown again bcos she wanted to get something for her friend then we took a train down to vivocity, then a cable car to sentosa... when we arrived at sentosa, yochi suggested that we walk the dragon's trail... okay and it turned out to be a long and muddy route, from one end of sentosa to the other... and bcos of the rain the past few days, the ground was so muddy... i hated it... and the trail led us all the way to silosa beach and we caught the beach tram, which brought us on the trail along the beach... and btw, sentosa changed alot since the last time i've been there... the monorail is gone, there were beach trams and new attractions... but still an expensive place where only tourists would go... went to merlion's park, then caught another tram to pelawan beach... where we took a walk along the beach and crossed the wooden bridge to the other side... ate ice cream at movenpick's cos it was soo hot... then walked over to the new attraction called close encounter... watched the bird show... then walked a long way back to the bus station to take a bus back to the cable car station... cos we bought a return ticket, we got down at mount faber... and it was a complete nightmare! reason: bcos there is NO other way to get down other than taking a taxi or a cable car... but bcos we dun want to take taxi, we decided to walk... and when we were asking for directions from the guy manning this cafe... the expression on his face when we told him that we were going to walk down was just comical... and it took us half an hour to walk down mount faber... and the worst thing was, halfway through there was no footpaths for pedestrains to walk on so we had to walk on the road... it was so ridiculous... we were so tired by the time we got down and the road down was so quiet, i was so glad to hear the cars, telling us that we have finally reached the main road... one of my worst days ever...

PaRt 3...

Day 4:
we started our journey late... reached city hall ard 11am, then walked to the esplanade... was quite disappointed bcos most of the shops were not open even though it was so late already and the exhibits this time were not very interesting... visited the library there, very big and nice btw... my first time there also... then walked to the merlion... ate bbq stingray... fullerton hotel... the nice toilet there... one of my wishes is to be able to stay in the fullerton hotel... how nice would that be... it's my favourite hotel in singapore... then we went to the asian civilisation museum... arts museum... the supreme court, walked acoss the padang to marina square, suntec city mall... and yochi wnated to look for this church that was apparently inside suntec, and both of us could not believe it when we realised that the church was the rock thing on the third floor... i really thought it was an arcade or something... our first reaction was whoa very funky... dun even look like a church... then to eat ben and jerry's... took a shuttle bus back to city hall, to plaza singapura and the cathay... first time to cathay also, but nothing much to see actually... then we went to national museum... it's free of charge if you go after 6pm... i have never been there myself... but i was really glad that i did after touring the place... the main exhibits were on swedish inventions and the exhibits upstairs were on the history of singapore, like the fashion, films, food and photography in the past... very very interesting... i think everyone should really go take a look... it's unforgettable...

PArT 2...

Day 3:
went to henderson early in the morning to eat roti prata, peanut cake and hum jin beng??!! then brought her around the hawker centres there, walked to bukit merah central, redhill market where we ate chee kueh and chee cheong fun... we were so full by the time we finished and the weather was so hot that day... took a bus to chinatown... OG, chinatown point, china square, far east square... halfway through, i felt my blister burst and my whole toe was so painful that we had to buy plaster before i could walk any further... then we took a bus down to bugis, where we visited the guanyin temple, which was crowded as usual... then after we walked through bugis street and went upstairs to eat at this place called teenage@bugis street or something... it's quite nice and the prices were quite reasonable... we were so glad to see comfy chairs that we did not want to leave... walked ard bugis junction, then to national library... and thank god we have already arrived at the library before the heavy downpour... when we were there, we saw that they were conducting a free guided garden tour, so we decided to join since we were stuck in the library anyways... the tour was really long about an hour and half, but i really learnt alot of things abt the plants in singapore... very interesting... one tree that stood out for me was this tree called neem tree... the indians used this kind of tree for all sorts of medical problems... apparently, the whole tree is regarded to have medicinal properties... we even had a chance to go up to the 11th floor where the view below was amazing... after the rain stopped, we continued our journey to chijmes, then to raffles city...

YoChi's viSiT...

Yochi's finally in singapore... yay for five days...
Day 1: one word to describe---- Disastrous! why? bcos after picking her up from the airport, we decided to go at at pepper lunch at novena square, but when we were about to leave, it started raining like shit, but we had to go home anyways... so the three of us had to share 2 tiny umbrellas and we were soaked... it was really the worst wet day of my life... i dun think i have ever been that wet before... except maybe during a shower... but it was also disgusting, cos the rain water kept coming onto my legs and there were huge puddles everywhere... strong winds... poor yochi, it was only her first day here and she ended up getting wet...

Day 2: much much better day, bcos it did not rain... but... my legs are aching and i have got a blister on my big toe... pain... anyway a recount of my day was as follows:
went to mustafa early in the morning... was not as crowded as the last time when i went, thank god... then after that, we went to toa payoh and yochi was so funny, she was so excited when we were on the double decker bus... we sat on the first row of seats... introduced her to carrot cake, then we went to nanyang poly where the class was having an OT day exhibition... i was so glad to see all my ex-classmates again... have not seen them for like 2 years... the exhibition was very good, we should have something similar in our campus too... then i brought her around the campus, to show her how big and nice nyp was, and we also drank the yummy soya bean drink in the canteen... we were actually supposed to go visit huimin at ntu that day but we were feeliing tired that we did not feel like travelling that far away... so we went back home to put down all the extra stuff, to rest and then resume our journey into orchard... brought yochi to far east plaza, ate tutu, went to shaw house to check out the movies, but we did not watch any in the end, went to wisma atria's food republic to eat teppanyaki, on our way up the escalator to food republic, the escalator started making funny noises and jerking, yochi and i were like looking at each other in dread, pls do not stop in the middle of nowhere or worse, dun go back down the other way and the escalator was actually quite high too... then to takashimaya, lucky plaza... by the time we finished heeren, both of our legs were aching like hell, mine especially... so we decided to go home in the end... when i got home, my feet were hurting badly and i had a blister on my right toe... pain...

A viSiT...

went swimming and kbox at marina square... cos normally when we go kbox, it costed us $21... and that day, the cashier was like... okay two pple, that will be $35... i was like what!!??? the thing was if you are not a student, then it's $12+++ per person... so expensive... and then she wanted proof that both of us were students... i had no choice but to lie to say that i did not bring my student card... but we got to sing till our hearts' content...

and today, i went to NUS to visit siti and veena at their arts faculty... they brought me to the canteen at the engineering faculty cos the one at arts was under renovation... and there were so many pple and long queues at almost every store... in the end, i ate unagi with veena and it was at a reasonable price too... after that, they brought me on a tour around the faculty, the library, and then we attended one of her lectures on youth... quite interesting, and her lecturer was funny too... and the weather was so hot that day and as i was on my way home, it started to rain so heavily... shit man... this weird weather has got to stop, otherwise we will become sydney number 2!

btw, i have not gotten a sign yet, oh well, i have decided that i will do the program, since it's the same amount of time even if i dun do it... luckily anna's doing it with me... we can suffer together!

IT'S raiNiNg (AgAiN)...

if u thought i was going to talk about the korean singer Rain... you are wrong... it has started to rain like shit again almost everyday... sian man... but btw, there's been so much news on Rain and his concert here that it's ridiculous... and i can't believe pple actually are willing to fork out so much money to go to his concert... $488!!! crazy...

went to watch night at the museum... i quite like it actually... ben stiller was quite funny... and we also saw the trailer of the new harry potter movie... looks quite exciting... can't wait for it to come out... apparently it's only coming in july... so long...

and i just was told by my auntie that uni sent me an offer into the honours program... i dunno whether to be glad or troubled??!! i dunno what this feeling is... can't decide if i really want to do it though... i also found out that huilin got offered too... but like she is definitely doing it... and i dunno what to do... and nobody can give me advice really... maybe i shall just wait for a sign...

and DAVID BECKHAM is going to america to play football... i can't believe it... that means that i can't watch him play already... the stupid manager at real madrid is even not letting him play in his final matches in real madrid... what the hell!!

WhAT's uP...

went kbox with pong at cineleisure... we got such a small room and like i really want to know how they calculate the prices... like what does all the +++ add up to?? this time we went costs us alot per person... and we also were given a small room... after that, went to cafe cartel to eat the waffles which i have been craving so much... a little disappointed bcos it was not crispy but overall, not bad... after that, went to meet up with denise and zhenzhen at food republic... i was so full after eating that waffle that i did not eat dinner... just sat there and watched them eat and talk... the design of the place was nice and unique but i found it abit squeezy... really wanted to try the food there, but i was so full... denise is going back to thailand and it would be another year before we will see each other again... hopefully...

went to swim with pong at toa payoh... i can't believe the entrance fees were so much cheaper as compared to the public pools in sydney... and the pools were clean and nice... although there were many pple swimming when we went there... went to mustafa centre at night with mum... i have never been there ever since it opened... cos i was thinking of bringing yochi there when she comes to visit... ohmigod... there were so many pple and it was so crowded... i could already feel a headache developing even before we went upstairs... and that place also abit hard to get to... but they really sell alot of stuff...

went to observe the OTs at alexandra hospital... and so coincidentally, i was under the same OT as I was before two years ago when i went there for observation too... basically just watching what she did with the outpatients who came to the hand clinic... and after it all, i was wondering if we really have to know how to do wound care and make the splints ourselves... bcos what happened there was wound care was done by one of the therapy assisstants and the cutting out of the splints were already pre-prepared already... so all the therapist has to do was choose the appropriate one, put it in hot water and mould it to the patient's hand... so does that mean that we dun have to manually draw the shape of the splints and cut them out ourselves??!! and then while i was following her on the ward rounds... the head of the discussion team was like asking the medical students and i assumed are the doctors and specialists, how to differentiate this and that with reference to the x-ray of the cervical spine of a patient, and nobody could answer the question except for this medical student... and the head of the team was like saying how embarrasing it was that the registrar did not know the answer and it was the medical student who answered instead... alamak, so paiseh...

4T2 ClaSS ReUnioN...

had our 4T2 class gathering finally... after like five years where most of us have not seen each other... although alot of pple did not turn up, i am still glad that pple made an effort to turn up cos it is really not easy to organise a class gathering/reunion... actually we were supposed to have dinner at pastamania, but ended up eating at this malay restaurant instead at arab street i think... btw, although i am a singaporean, today was the first time i have actually been to that area... alot of malay stalls and restaurants... anyway, it's good that we ate there cos we could seat together in a room with sofas and just eat and talk... we updated each other on what's happening with each of us... gossiped about pple in our class, teachers in crescent... even going to the extent where we wrote down what we think we will be doing in ten years' time... and we agreed to meet up in ten years' time again to see whether we have achieved the aims... ten years might seem like a really long time, but actually time really passes so quickly that it is going to seem like we just met yesterday or something... took pictures... and talked till quite late... was really tired by the time i got home...

finally went to huimin's house... her dog twain is soo cute... very nice to pet and very "guai"... haha unless you are unfortunate enough to want to do a good deed by spraying the ear liquid into his ear... or when he is trying to bully other dogs... huimin... thanks, i really enjoyed the time spent at ur home... maybe next time I can go again huh... oh and we went to meet up with aiwei who lives close to huimin... she still looked the same as I remembered except she's got long hair now... but still soft-spoken...

went to novena square yesterday for lunch... and guess who i saw outside pepper lunch... MRS SIAH!!! i was like holy shit... she still looks so scary and intimidating, what is she doing here??!! ohmigod... anyway, we did not end up eating at pepper lunch... after that went to visit the national library and it's huge... and even though it's like a normal weekday, there were so many pple there... did not venture upstairs though... after that, accompanied pong to go for the job interview at new york new york... but she ended up getting a job at pepper lunch...

YEar 2007...

met up with huilin at bugis... she was late again as usual... wanted to eat first then walk but the foodcourt got so many pple and there was no empty seats so we decided to walk ard first then eat... basically all the shops were the same... except i saw the shop "mu"... i actually like the clothes that they sell there, cos very unique but so expensive... of course, we went to take pictures at the diamond christmas tree outisde inter continental hotel... very nice... after then went to eat at the foodcourt... after spending a long time looking for seats... we finally found one at the corner... after that, we decided to go to the national library cos both of us had never been there since it opened... but it was closed... sian man... so we had to settle for taking pictures outside... the place looked really big... we really wanted to take a look inside... after that, went to raffles city with her... and guess what, they have ben and jerry's at the basement marketplace... yaya... shared the brownie special... and there was this donut factory there and there was this really long queue... and then i remembered reading abt this donut place on the newspaper recently... singaporeans are all like that one lor... once they read abt something new... die die also must try even though they have to queue for so long... heard about the botak jones at ang mo kio also like that... after that... walked to marina square... walked till both our feet were aching then we decided to go home... huilin was like telling me that she actually goes to volunteer at the speech therapy dept at NUH... i also had the same thought, to go and volunteer at the OT depts before i came here, but i was feeling lazy so in the end did not go and apply...

ThOUgHt-ProVOkiNg...

How did Hyun Bin go from this...

More eye candies... like seriously, how does south korea produce so many cute guys?? and singapore dun have?? am I the only one wondering abt this??

EnD oF yeAr 2006...

went out with siti, yujing, veena and freddy for dinner... long time never see yujing, veena and freddy already... and all of us commented that we all looked the same as when we were in njc... is that good or bad... and when siti said that freddy looked fatter, he said that he looked buffer instead... and all of us cracked up... i actually thought he looked the same to me... went to eat at breeks at takashimaya... i have never eaten there before though... but we all ended up eating korean food... i ate the spicy chicken bibimbap... i actually wanted the chicken ramen, but they ran out of that chicken... and siti, veena and me all said dun want bean sprouts... yuck... i hate "dou gay"... talked as we ate... abt the stuff all of us were doing now... uni... reminiscing abt the past njc days... the teachers... and then freddy had to leave early... so after that, we went walking in takashimaya to look for umbrellas cos yujing wanted to get one... then decided to walk over to partyworld to check out the prices... but i did not really like the place cos it smelled of cigarettes and looked sleazy... so in the end, went to heeren to take neoprints... haha... we took twice and spent so much time there decorating out pictures... there was one station where we had to kneel all the way down on the floor to take, and it was so funny... all of us were laughing and panicking cos we didn't know when the camera was going to take cos it was all in japanese...

today is the last day of year 2006 already... time really flies too quickly... really glad that I am able to spend christmas and the new year here this year... this year was a good year overall, hopefully the year 2007 will bring some new experiences, surprises and of course... here's wishing everyone good health...

RaiN rAiN Go AWaY...

had dinner on Christmas with the family and one of my dad's friends... they came over for dinner and the whole table was filled with food... we even ran out of cutlery... haha...should have thought abt that problem, cos this was the first time probably that we had so many pple eating at the table... too bad it was raining on both christmas eve and christmas... we went to IMM to buy all the food for the dinner... so many pple... and the place also changed already... the outside looked different... and guess what, i saw the my girl dvd on sale, so i immediately bought it... haha... that's what i have doing over christmas... watching the show all day (and night)... i am obsessed...

been raining non-stop for the past few days since christmas... wanted to go for the post-christmas sales also cannot... been holing myself up at home watching dvds... even cancelled the meeting with zhenzhen and denise bcos it was raining so heavily... why...

My GiRL...

Merry Christmas!!
went out with pong and one of my dad's friend... went to vivocity and she treated us to this really posh Brazilian restaurant buffet called Carnivore... whoa ate till i was so full... ate alot of meats today... the food was great... especailly suitable for those who love to eat meats... after that, walked around vivocity and as usual, there were alot of pple there even though it's like a weekday and it's the middle of the day... after that, while we were on our way to the mrt station, i actually met veena and devi... so "qiao" lor... cos i was about to call veena to inform her about the class gathering... haven't seen them for sooo long already, but they still looked the same... and they also said i looked the same... is that good or bad, i wonder?? talked for awhile, standing in the middle of the pathway...
and then we took a train down to plaza singapura... nothing much has changed... actually looking for a nice pair of sandals... preferably with abit of heels... but so far i have not seen any nice shoes yet... walked to OG, walked around there for abit and then went for a facial... haha... my face really hurts after facial... and i dread going everytime...

met up with zhenzhen aka brother for dinner at junction 8... again... i still remembered we went there last year also and also ate at the food court... we even ate ice kachang again... we really must do things differently next time... otherwise so predictable... after eating, we walked for abit, took like one picture together and went to look for fleecy jackets for zhenzhen... cos she will be coming to sydney uni next june for a year... yay... very excited... after that, we went to mcdonald and bought a chocolate milkshake and just sat and talked...

shit lah... got hooked onto this new korean series called MY Girl... once i started watching, i couldn't stop, so in the end, watched till like the next morning... did not sleep at all... i hate it... i know myself, once i start a show, i won't stop till i know the ending... that's why i refused to watch the other korean show during exams... bad bad andrea... btw, the show is damn good... better than princess hours... nice nice... and the main actor is sooo cute... haha...

PiCtUrEs...

All the photos were too large to be put on friendster... so i had to post them here...

LalaLA...

alamak... i accidentally put the wrong date on my previous post so now i can't post my blog until after 23 dec... so "gundoo"...
monday... met up with piyo, inthu and angie... went to this indian food place called kumala's to eat... piyo was late and we had to wait so long for her... ate prata but it was not that nice... ate and talked after not seeing them for a year... after that, we walked around marina square... took some pictures... piyo lost alot of weight... inthu and angie still looked the same to me... angie had to leave early so left the three of us and we decided to share a candy floss... yummy... i noe it's bad for the teeth... but i haven't had it for so long... and then after that, we walked abit more and went our separate ways... was waiting for the bus for like half an hour and it still did not come... so in the end i had to catch the free shuttle bus to city hall mrt and then take a bus home... and it was raining so heavily... so annoying... accompanied my grandma to the hospital on tuesday... raining like shit again... so we had to catch a taxi instead...

wednesday... met up with jo, fran and sherry... finally... dunno why they all so busy... went bowling at great world first with jo and huimin... i really think that we actually do better in the first rounds than in the second rounds... cos maybe we are all tired already and the game did not seem that fun anymore... and we agreed that the winner had to treat ben and jerry's... haha and the loser gets to distribute half of the pamphlets that jo brought with her... at the end of 2 rounds... jo won... which was amazing and unbelievable... haha juz joking... and huimin lost... and i got to eat ben and jerry's after... yummy... after that, we went to town and i bought tutu to eat... was actually quite full by then already... and then it was time to start distributing the pamphlets... very tiring leh actually... and then after distributing for more than an hour... i think i distributed less than 20... it's really hard man cos NOBODY wanted to take them... and guess who I saw while distributing at tangs... MEL!!! i did not even see her until she came right up to me... i was so tired by then and hot... so glad to see her... was supposed to go out with her one day before she goes back to sydney... and then finally was can stop already and meet fran and sherry for dinner at pepper lunch and takashimaya... but we ran into justina at orchard mrt... she looked different... sherry also... it was funny... haha... after dinner... we went back to cineleisure upstairs again to chill out... like last year... talked, gossiped... heard stories and glad that each of them are doing well... i did not really have any interesting stuff to say but i was contented to just sit there and listen... thanks guys... we really must meet up more often okay... and dun forget the class gathering... next time... KBOx!!!

WEt weT wEt...

friday... huimin came over to bake stuff with me... we baked brownies, cheese sticks and cinnamon rolls... cinnamon rolls bcos both of us are huge fans and there is no longer any cinnamon rolls shops here anymore... everything started off fine... except huimin laughed at me for my poor math skills, i can't help it... i have not been calculating fractions mentally for awhile and most of the times, we used the calculators... hmmph... ayway, the cheesticks and the cinnamon rolls did not turn out as nice as we expected... the pastry for the cheesesticks did not taste the same, we did not put enough cheese and huimin, if u are reading this... apparently, the bottome part of the cheesesticks still abit uncooked leh... so must put in the toaster for awhile before eating k... and the cinnamon rolls... we did not put enough sugar and cinnamon, so the rolls came out tasting like plain bread... :(
and there was sugar all over the floor... and ants came...
by the time we finished baking... both of us were exhausted and fell asleep on the sofa... haha... it was fun at the end of the day, except maybe next time we should bake in a cold room so the pastry would not start melting, be more generous with the sugar and cinnamon... it's okay, practice makes perfect...

and then at night, went to denise's 21st birthday party... did not really feel like going, but i already sort of said that i would go so... and i have not seen her for long... it was quite a happening party, got food, deejay, music, alot of pple... the sad thing was i did not know a single soul there except denise... but i have already got 'xin li zhun bei' when i decided to go... she looked really pretty in her black tube top dress...

went to cut and highlight my hair on saturday... finally my head feels much much lighter now... cos my hair's not so thick... and i got red highlights in my hair... thanks to prisy's recommendation... was supposed to go huimin's house on sunday... but it was raining so heavily the whole day that we cancelled... sorry huimin... i really wanted to go ur house...

MEeTIng uP...

met up with siti today... she was late today cos she thought i would call her and confirm our meeting today... so while waiting, i walked ard wisma and takashimaya... alot of stuff changed... like the walkway from the mrt station to wisma is gone... got new cafes and of course, so many pple shopping and mango's having a sale so there was a huge crowd... haven't seen siti for more than 2 years... dun think she has changed much... but she said i am starting to have an accent... but i still speak singlish leh... haha... went to lido to check out the movies out and decided to watch deja vu... with denzel washington... not bad and we both agreed that he likes to act in intellectual thinking movies... like the inside man... luckily the show was good otherwise siti will kill me rite... after that, went to far east to eat lunch... walked ard for abit to look for a neoprint shop... finally found it and we took neoprints like we used to back in jc... as we were eating, we were gossiping about pple in our class and reminiscing back on the times in njc... told her to go back to nj with me when school starts... and siti... u have to bring me ard NUS okay... after that, we walked ard wisma cos she wanted to look for a bag... went to borders cos she wanted to look for books... took some photos... i really missed her... she still can make me laugh like she did in nj... thank you siti...

went to kbox with pong yesterday... so annoying that it was raining so heavily also... after it all... i still found the one at cineleisure better... but we got to sing till our hearts' content... and i made a mistake... it was not as expensive as i thought before... bcos the last time i was paying for two... and here got more songs, especially the old ones, than in big echo... haha... heard that a new one opened in marina square, so would like to go try it out someday...

oh and today is Denise's birthday!!! Happy Birthday!! also never see her for sooo long already...

ONe WeeK hOMe...

last saturday... went to vivocity with mum and pong... really big shopping centre but the stuff are so expensive... and in my opinion, the stuff sold there are similar to the stuff sold in sydney... so pple no need to go to australia already... luckily we arrived there early and started shopping early... by the time we were about to leave... the place was sooo crowded... i got a headache just looking at the pple there...

sunday... stayed at home... watched the star awards at night... and cooked fettuccini with the sauce that i brought back for everyone... i dun think they liked it though cos they are not used to eating that i think... was very excited when star awards finally came... got to see all the mediacorp stars... too bad some of my favourite artistes did not turn up or win awards...

yesterday, went to singapore poly to have an eye examination... and the last time i went for an eye checkup according to their records was five years ago... so long already... and then after that... went to this complimentary makeover session with mum and pong... it was quite an experience... but not really a memorable one...
that's about it for now... it has been raining almost every day... so annoying... and everywhere i go, there are so many pple... pple here seriously have nothing better to do... like me... haha...

SIngApORe...

i am finally home again... after a year away... yesterday was the first time i flew on an airplane on my own... i was a little scared initially but luckily, the flight was relatively smooth, not much turbulence and stuff... although the food served sucked... what's new... anyway, when i was already seated in the plane, this girl came up to me and asked if i could swap seats with her so that she could sit with her parents... so okay, i didn't mind cos i was sitting right at the place where the food and stuff are... so it's very noisy cos the air stewardess walking up and down and stuff... so okay, i went to that seat and when i was like seating there for like five minutes, this guy came up to me and asked if he could switch seats with me so that he could sit with his friends... i was like what the hell, do i have a sign on my forehead saying that i am free to change seats or something??? so i was like nope, i have already changed seats once and i really dun want to switch again...

anyway, after arriving home, unpacked all the stuff, showered and went to sleep around 1am and my body have not adjusted to the time here yet so i was really really tired... and then i woke up at ard 5am the next morning... annoying becos i could not get back to sleep... and pretty much stayed at home the whole of yesterday... watched tv and the videotapes that pong taped for me... everything was basically the same i guess... not many changes as yet... but it's like raining practically everyday i heard... and i feel so humid and sticky all the time... not a good feeling...

went to the hospital with my grandma today to see the doctor for checkup early in the morning... just got back and it's raining again... oh and my results are out already... did quite well in my opinion... not bad... now i am worried about my professional practice result...

UpDaTeSSS...

friday prisy brought back princess hours... and in my opinion... and sorry if i offend anyone, but the show is actually not as nice as i thought it would be... like i thought "it started with a kiss" was better... princess hours was funny but the prince in the show is soooo slow and boring... we had to watch the show at like fast speed... i prefer the other prince, yul... he is quite cute and prisy said he looked abit like hyun bin... i felt so sorry for him... and apparently the part 2 is coming soon but he would not be in it... oh well... i am sure he is going to get his own lead show soon... haha...

had driving lessons practically everyday now, so that i can learn as much stuff and remember them when i come back... hoping to take the test next year so that i can get my red Ps... and maybe save enough money to buy a small car???!! cross my fingers...

went out on saturday... just prisy and me hanging out before i go home on wed... went to chatswood to look for black workpants first... but they did not have any... so we just shopped around abit and caught a train to the city... when we got there, went to sussex centre to meet up with prisy's friend, wendy and we ate lunch there... and guess what i had for lunch... spicy beef... haha... no surprises there... after that, i actually wanted to go eat waffles at passionflower but after walking around at market city, i still felt full so we did not eat waffles in the end... went karaoke after... wendy and me were like singing chinese songs all the way and prisy sang english songs... after that, prisy and me walked back to chinatown to look for emu oil... finally found them at the tourist shops in chinatown... and then after that, went to wait for michelle to come pick us up cos we were meeting uncle and auntie for dinner at eastwood... it was pouring that day... both our jeans got wet and dirty... and my poor umbrella could not withstand the strong winds... had to share with prisy... and michelle was late again so we decided to go buy the "chai dao kui" for auntie... finally got to eastwood ard 8pm... ate dinner and by the time we got home, it was already almost 10pm... and guess what we did after... watch princess hours... haha... we finally finished yesterday...

6 MoRe dAyS...

haven't been doing much these past few days... just waiting for the day to come for me to go home... the only highlights currently are my driving lessons... i actually have a dilemma, cos initially yochi recommended her driving instructor to me so i booked a lesson with him on monday rite, and then prisy told me that one of her friend's dad also teaches driving... and the thing is, both of them are really nice and patient... but prisy's friend's dad charged me much cheaper... $35 so of course i decided to go with him but i just feel bad towards the other instructor... what am i going to tell him tomorrow...

up till now, during my driving lessons, i learnt the different functions in the car, how to steer, signals, unlocking the steering wheel (btw, this is damn hard!!), i also got to do abit of reversing, and driving on the main road... i think i was really scared and nervous the first day, but after that, i was better and able to drive up to 50km/h... haha... the first day i only dared to drive at 20km/h and my feet was on the brakes the whole time... pple make driving look so easy, dun they... especially turning... only when i am driving then i realised that it is not as easy as it seemed... also started to learn how to park at the kerb... this was definitely hard... required spatial judgement and logical thinking... which i dun have... but practice makes perfect!!

LEarNinG tO dRiVe...

rented ice age 2 and take the lead last week... take the lead was really nice... i actually liked all the dancing movies that i have watched and they have really cool dance moves in this movie... i heard step up was good too... shall wait for the dvd to be released... ice age 2 was not as good as the first one... what's new... all the part 2 of movies are not as nice as the original ones... and i finally watched the taiwan series 'it started with a kiss' that pong lent me... i actually saw the japanese version a long time ago on tv and i really liked it... in the taiwan version, they did not really follow the actual plot, only abit... at first i did not recognise the male lead in the show but then i finally realised that he's the gay guy from the rose, another taiwan series starring SHE... and he was really gay in that show, with long curly hair... yuck... but in this one, thankfully the producers gave him a cool hairstyle and he looked quite cool... anyway, if anyone has seen the NGs in the show, u would be shocked at how loud and scary his laugh is... thinking about the way he laughs always cracks me up... the female lead also never fails to make me laugh... the show is quite funny actually... it was actually higher than my expectations...

and finally today morning, i went for my first ever driving lesson and i sat in the driver's seat for the first time... one word to summarise the whole one hour experience... nerve-wrecking... my instructor was really nice and patient though... but i was so scared that i would knock into other cars, wreck his car, etc... and my feet was on the brakes the whole time... really very scary... and for some reason, the roads today was lined with cars on both sides... usually the roads at that time are really quiet and empty... somehow they must have known that i am learning how to drive today and everyone decided to park their cars out on the kerbs and make the roads so narrow... i actually wanted to have intensive driving lessons for this whole week but my instructor was only available next on friday, so i had to book another lesson with one of prisy's colleague's father tomorrow... and when i go back home, i won't be able to practice driving till i come back... how...

StUcK in ThE SwEltEriNg HeAT...

these few days we are once again back into the korean wave... all thanks to prisy's workmate who lent her this korean show called spring waltz... on the whole, on my scale of 1-10, the show only rated maybe 6... nonetheless, we watched it till like 1am on sunday night, not that i got anything better to do the next day, but both prisy and michelle have to work... even auntie stayed up with us... thankfully it was a happy ending, although both the main characters had a very difficult and sad childhood... and they were really fated to be together cos they loved each other since they were little... anyway... that's about it for the weekend, besides going to work...

and then went swimming at lane cove with prisy yesterday... we were really disappointed when we found out that the olympic pool was closed and the sauna and steam were closed for maintenance... so we only could swim in the indoor pool and it was quite crowded... cos the weather was so freaking hot these past few days... reaching 38 degrees today... and me... in order to escape the heat, i went to borders hornsby to read... shopped abit, trying to look for another black workpants... and presents... did not get anything in the end... alamak... most of my friends all went back home already... and i am still here waiting to go home... was supposed to have driving lessons this friday but the driving instructor called today and postponed it to monday... dunno what to do with myself actually...

BoN voYagE...

IT is finally over!!! the exams... all the mugging and studying and cramming and no tvs and music... second year of uni is finally over... after kinesiology yesterday, everyone was in a party mood, although now that i think abt it, i kinda miss uni already, not the school but the going to uni, attending lectures and tutorials and friends... and we won't be seeing each other till like july next year cos the whole of next semester is clinicals... and angela's changed course so she will be graduating next year...

anyway, yesterday went to mel's house to celebrate and a bon voyage gathering... she was supposed to cook nice food for us, but in the end, she did not prepare anything and we went to this other korean place to eat... the shop was really small and squeezy, and the food was not that nice... i only liked the soup and the rice cake with cheese and chilli... yochi had to work in the library so could only come later... and bcos amelia said she will drive to uni to get her but yochi was not picking up her phone, mel called the library instead and it was really funny... yochi told us later that she was so surprised to hear us calling... after that, went back to mel's house to watch movie, i brought the movie bandidas for them to watch... and we took some pictures, ate some ice cream and slowly, one by one they left... and in the end, it was only yochi, me and mel left... and mel was like saying how there was a sense of deja vu bcos we went to her house once to do the horrible kinesiology proposal... i never ever want to repeat that again... we watched stealth and both of them liked it, especially yochi who could not get over the fact that jamie foxx's character died...

and then after that, went to hornsby westfield for some retail therapy... finally bought my next in death book... using the borders voucher that michelle gave me for my birthday... and today... tidied up the room and all the notes and stuff lying around... and called the driving instructor that yochi recommended... i am going to start learning how to drive... apparently i can't use the license i have here over in singapore... cos i initially thought that i could learn driving when i am back home... back to work again this weekend... after two weeks of leave... how come learning driving is so expensive... it's like $48 an hour... suck my blood...

I WoN't FeeL bAD...

forgot to mention that i wewnt to eastwood to eat at my fav roast pork shop with amelia on wed... after body systems... haven't been there for awhile... the salt and pepper fish fillets were delicious... both of us were starving and we had to wait so long for the train... when the food finally came, we were gobbling the stuff up already... however, i must say that it was quite expensive, it might be cheaper if we had more pple, it was like $10 each... and we only had two dishes... at least the food was good...

and did something on sun which i refused to feel bad or guilty about... went out to the city to sing karaoke even though i have an exam on mon... i studied hard for the past week and i think i deserved a break... and also becos we had to go pick up my uncle and auntie from the airport... anyway... i had fun singing my heart and lungs out with prisy... we even got extra time singing becos i think they forgot abt us... and after that, we went to our favourite place to eat the spicy beef and chicken... yummy... anyway, human occupations exam yesterday was okay, hopefully i will do well cos the last time was worth 50% and i did not do quite well so i hope this one will pull my grades up... and yes!!! two more days and exams are over... everyone's telling me how they are unable to concentrate bcos they are so excited at going home... in a way, it's quite sad cos i probably won't be seeing them till like july... cos the whole of next semester we will be on clinicals... so scary... apparently we will be having our caseloads and patients... the thought of it is enough to make me sick and panic... that's when we will really find out how much i have learnt these two years... and this thursday we will be celebrating tina's birthday and a bon voyage at mel's house...

NoThiNg mUcH...

was reading through my blog posts in november 2005... ohmigod... i actually lost my phone like almost a year ago already, but i actually felt like the thing just happened to me last week or something... the memory was so vivid still... i could still remember the panic and the tears when i realised that my phone's lost... i can't believe it's been a year already... it's just scary how time flies so quickly...

after three intense days of studying and exams... i can take a short breather cos the next paper is on friday... and that's why i can blog now, and i worked today, after one week of absence at woolies... nothing much except something's wrong with my work shoe today, my feet were hurting the whole day, dunno isit bcos my feet expanded or the shoe's getting too small for my feet...

the first paper, quantitative was quite shitty, bcos i totally did not understand one topic and so i did not study that part and of course, i could not answer any of the questions concerning that topic... was like 'tikkaming' for the last ten questions... really bad... cognition was even worse... even though i studied for it and read everything, i realised that it's one of those subjects that requires understanding the stuff, not simply memorising... i hope it will not turn out as bad as i think... today's body systems was quite okay, although we have so much to study and so little time to cram everything into my brain... and of course skipping lectures did not help... i was actually panicking yesterday when i still had so much to study and it was already so late... so i decided to go to uni and study straight through till it was time... it paid off... i hope... now i am left with three more... and then... freedom!!!

EXaMS!!!

this whole week i have been at home every day... alone studying... i actually enjoyed the peace around me... i can eat whenever i felt like it, relax, watch abit of tv... everything was good except of course the studying part... still trying to absorb everything and squeeze all the information into my brain... why can't my brain be a sponge or why can't i have photographic memory??? u noe how some pple just read their stuff once and they can write out or memorize everything... dun you juz hate those kind of pple??!! and the weather's been not too hot, it's actually raining now and quite cold today... no flies... yes!!

anyway, i did go for some retail therapy on thurs again... to macquarie with prisy... to develop some photos for tina, i also bought another boardshort for pong, and a blouse and trackpants for myself... hmm... been spending alot these few weeks actually... i just have this urge to buy stuff recently... must be all the stress... counting down the days when i can finally go home...and yochi's confirmed coming to visit in january... haha i am going to be her food tour guide... called home just now... alamak... my dear sister went to see the vice-principal today and was told to decided whether she is going to stay in jc or go to poly... cos of her results... headache man... and the thing is... she dunno what she wants to do in future... and she dun wanna think for herself, relying on others to tell her what to do... i just hope she will make right decision this time cos she cannot afford to waste anymore time already...

StUvaC WeekEnd...

i realised that i forgot to mention that we went to chatswood shopping on thurs... i bought a boardshort for pong and prisy got a bag and shoes... which btw, she already has alot of both... everything was going well until the time came for us to leave... okay the shopping centres here have free parking for the first 3 hours and anything after that, u have to pay... so that day, when we realised that we were about to exceed the three hour limit parking, prisy and i ran through westfield like crazy but we still ended up paying... damn...

fri night the three of us went to the city to have dinner with our uncle and his new wife, who came to sydney as part of their honeymoon stopover... they got married this year and apparently he's the first in the family to marry an 'ang moh'... he is actually my mum's cousin so that makes him my uncle??? aiyah, anyway everybody is either uncle or auntie right... haha...
yep, so firstly, prisy and i have to go to microsoft to pick up michelle, and then i had a 'wardrobe malfunction' bcos my brown velvet skirt which i was wearing kept falling down and it was so uncomfortable, so in the end, we had to detour to their auntie's house nearby to borrow a belt... alamak... i was so embarrassed... and so we were late getting my uncle and his wife, alex...
then after we got to the place where michelle had booked earlier, they told us that there was no seats available even though we booked earlier... actually i was glad that we did not eat there, cos that place was like a bar and the music was so loud and there were so many pple...
so michelle brought us to another cafe at darling harbour... the food was quite nice, i had this chicken parmigiano thing and wedges... but i should not have eaten that bcos i was having sore throat... and it's like fried stuff... and after that, we walked one round around darling harbour... his new wife is quite a nice person, i am happy for my uncle... i haven't seen my uncle since his brother's wedding like two years ago back in singapore... so anyway, glad to have this catchup time with him... we went to have dessert at passionflower after... i ate waffles and ice cream... it was delicious, but i was so bloated after that... sense of deja-vu... recalled back to the time when i brought my parents to the passionflower near chinatown... and then after that, went back to their hotel room to look at their wedding pictures... really nice...
btw, i broke my previous record of staying out till 12am... we only left their hotel ard 1230am and arrived home at like 130am... prisy and michelle are bad influences to me... michelle even suggested going karaoke after we left the hotel... i was like no... i have to work tomorrow...

and so i did not study at all... even on saturday and sunday, cos i was working... i am so screwed man... i really really have to start studying... and i am falling sick again... i seem to always fall sick during the pre- and exam period... i wonder why...

today was supposed to be my last day of uni second year semester 2... but i did not go to uni today, so yesterday was officially my last day at uni... except of course the exams... so next week is stuvac and then exams and then YES!!! I am free!!! i can't wait to go home... finally...
this whole week had been shitty, bcos i had three assignments due and the worst one was definitely kinesiology... anyway, i am not going to complain anymore on that... it's over...
i also received my play exam results this week, got a credit... was abit disappointed in myself but i noe i did not do my best... was really distracted most of the time while studying for it...
and i just deleted my tag-board, bcos it's really annoying and i noe a few of us (yes, fran, i saw ur blog too :)) also did the same thing and sherry advised me to get a new tag-board... i will put a new one up after exams k... just upset that all the past comments are gone... all bcos of the stupid tagboard that kept prompting for password...
also saw jo's 21st birthday photos... was abit envious of her actually... everything was so nice and alot of pple went to her party... i will NOT complain anymore after this... my parents came after all... and i enjoyed myself at the party and the "after party"...
and i am all alone at home for the whole of next week including today... bcos uncle and auntie went back to singapore and both my cuzzies are at work... and i am supposed to study... i have 6 exams this semester... but here i am blogging, reading other's blogs, doing things other than study... what's new... haha... i dunno why my hair's not growing longer, it's just growing thicker... which is not what i want!!! it looks really gross if i dun tie it up now... alamak...

friday... went to mel's house after uni to do the kinesiology proposal... and after yochi left, i had to stay at her house becos prisy was meeting her friends for dinner at strathfield so we thought we'll go home together... so we went to eat dinner at this dessert place... mel ordered this korean- style ice kachang thing and i ordered ice cream... very unhealthy for dinner but there was no other proper food in that place and there was no other places that we could eat at... we just chatted alittle while eating and then on the way back to her house... i saw prisy and her friends... it was so weird... becos i was like saying to mel before that i will probably see prisy and we really bumped into them outside ceci... haha... so after we walked back to her house, we watched fools rush in... the movie was okay, not that great and it was quite old already...
did i also mention that we went to rent poseidon, the da vinci code and eight below?? poseidon was like quite dramatic at first but the ending was quite anti-climax... da vinci code was quite scary becos of the white guy, but becos i am not a really religious person... i did not get some of the stuff in the show, but it was okay overall, was quite disappointed in poseidon... got josh lucas... but the storyline was not that great...
btw, when we were in the city last tues, we bought this really nice wooden japanese photo album like gift for tina's birthday... dunno if i have got a picture of it but it's really nice, it can even rotate... and we actually thought of getting it for amelia this year... and amelia and me were like saying how we actually should buy for each of us the same thing so we would all have it... i dun mind having one too...

and then saturday night we watched devil wears prada... everyone i know who have seen it said it was quite good and i think i now know why... especially for the girls... cos of the clothes in the show isn't it??? haha... prisy was like wooing and waaing over the clothes... but if i had a boss like meryl streep in the show, i would probably kill myself or grow white hair within two days... haha... i am glad the ending turned out like it is... although anne hathaway could have told her boyfriend that she slept with that guy... and her character's name is also andrea... haha...

working over the weekend again... so nothing much happened... came home to watch bourne supremacy... i knew i have seen it before, but i just could not remember the ending... but after watching it, i finally realised why... bcos the ending was so anti-climax that i forgot abt it until i watched it again... but i still like the first one better... why did they have to kill off the female character?? i felt so sad for him...

mon... stayed at uni till 8pm trying to finish the stupid kinesiology... and the thing is it's only worth 30% but the amount of time we spent doing it is way over the marks that we'll get... i dun even remember spending this much effort and time and blood (haha) on my GCE O levels and A Levels or any other assignments... and i am so sick of kinesiology now that i dun even wanna look at it... the only time i have stayed so late in school was last year doing some project with amelia and karen... sense of deja-vu... and it was winter that time, so we were freezing at the busstop while waiting for the free bus... yesterday was also similar, except that it was later and was not as cold... and then bcos micheele had to take the car into the city to get prisy, i had no way of getting home except to wait at amelia's place... so the three of us took the train home and at strathfield... while waiting for the train... we played bingo... haha... we also decided that bingo would be our official waiting-for-the-train game... and when we arrived at her house, amelia was really nice enough to give yochi and me a lift home first...

btw, something's really wrong with my blog... the tag-board's gone and is replaced by this really annoying thing that asks for my password everytime i go into the blog... does anyone know what's going on???

SHiTty WeeK...

this whole week could be summarized in one word... shitty... why??? bcos of the sickening kinesiology proposal... i dun think i have ever spent so much time and effort on one assignment... it was actually due this monday but it was pushed back to wednesday... thank god... the thing was we just can't seem to find any information on the muscle that we are looking at... we searched everywhere... books, journal articles and on the internet... nothing and we wasted so much time just looking for stuff... and we have to write so much stuff... and the thing now is our modified posture is wrong so we had to remeasure and take pictures again on monday... and in order to do that... yochi and me have to skip lectures becos we had to go to her auntie's workplace... all of us are just so sick of this proposal now... we just want to quickly get it over and done with cos we still have COP proposal and portfolio due next week also... and we also had to stay at uni till late on thurs and friday trying to complete the proposal... it's just really horrible... i will be glad when stuvac finally comes in another week...
i feel like i haven't got a chance to rest and recharge myself... and i will be working over the weekend also... just very tired of everything... both mentally and physically...

on a happier note... we went karaoke on tuesday after uni... got to sing my new songs and also got to eat at my fav place... but instead of eating the spicy beef, i decided to try the korean spicy chicken... and it turned out to be quite nice... yummy... and then on thurs... we stayed back late at uni right... and when i was on my way home... prisy called and told me that michelle wanted to go to this westfield in miranda, which was all the way south... we live in the north btw... becos apparently that westfield has the only charles and keith store in all of australia... and she wanted to go check out this particular shoe... i didn't want to go becos i was already really tired and hungry and the drive was long... like it took us about an hour to drive there... by the time we arrived, it was almost closing time... and while they were trying on shoes, i went to eat... i could not wait any longer... i was really starving... so after that, on the drive back, we stopped by at this small lebanese bread shop and bought the bread there and ate... they were actually quite nice, especially the cheese ones... and becos they made it fresh, we stood outside the shop waiting quite awhile and just ate in the car... it was like 11pm by the time we got home... really tired...

FRidAy niGhT oUt...

Last friday was prisy's cousins gathering to celebrate her birthday... so we all went to her cousin's sander's house for dinner... they ordered thai food, which i did not really like and michelle made alcoholic drinks, which i did not drink... being a good girl... did not want to go to the gathering initially... bcos i dun really know them also and we were definitely going to stay late... which we did... we only left their house ard 1230am... i was ready to fall asleep already...

after dinner, we ate cake which auntie baked and sat ard talking... and after that, one of their cousins brought this karaoke set... so we all sat ard the living room taking turns to sing... we only had one microphone though... the songs they had were like really old... i dun even recognise most of the songs they were singing... i was like saying how the songs were not from my era man... haha... and then pple started wandering off to do their own things... and left me, michelle, prisy and her two cousins... they were really funny, cos the karaoke set has scores and apparently the lower tune you sang, the higher score you'll get, so they were trying to sing the songs as low as possible, which was not difficult for them becos they were guys... duh... so they were like getting high scores... but i beat their scores when i sang Right here waiting... one of my alltime favourites... and then becos sander's kids were sleeping already so we had to sing softly right but after awhile, we started to sing and talk loudly again... and myat had to come out and lower the volume of the microphone until it was so soft that u might as well not use the mike and just sing... and it was so hilarious when it was ngyan's turn cos he was practically just talking into the mike... michelle and i was laughing the whole time... and he actually got a high score just from talking instead of singing to the lyrics... really hilarious... anyway... i quite enjoyed myself there even though sometimes i felt out of place...

it is good that they maintained such a good relationship and try to meet up whenever they can... like me... i am not close to my cousins... except prisy and michelle... we only see each other like twice a year back in s'pore... quite sad... it is really bad... i would not be surprised if i could not recognise them if i passed them on the streets... that's how bad it is...

and yesterday at work... i found out that our head supervisor rachael just resigned... no wonder i have not seen her for the past 3 weeks... shit... she has yet to approve my leave application... and few other pple also left... and more and more new faces started appearing... i dun like them... and it was freaking hot again yesterday... like 37 degrees outside... but even though i was in woolies, it was so stuffy and hot inside too...

My wEEk 11... hOw WaS UrS??...

it's the end of another week of uni... this week being more stressful than the others... because the placement project was due this friday and I had to do a literature review of 10 or more articles related to my topic on cognitive assessments for stroke patients... anyway... I only managed to do 14 articles and personally speaking, I did not put in as much effort as I should to do it... I just want to quickly get that over and done with so that I can focus on other stuff... haven't really had a break since last fri's HO exam... and what's worse... is i have to print out ALL the journal articles too... do u know how much money i spent printing all those stuff??? suck my blood man...

anyway... last saturday was prisy's birthday bowling with her workmates and michelle and me tagged along... it was held at this bowling place in castle hill... my first time bowling since i came here... that place was actually quite ulu... inconvenient to get to cos there is no public transport whatsoever... and about maybe 15 of her colleagues turned up so we split into 4 teams and started bowling... and i must also add that bowling here is also damn expensive... i paid $20 for 2 games and a meal... alamak... the bottomline is everything here is damn expensive...
i had fun... although i sucked at bowling... even when i went with crescent gang to bowl also... haha... but i had two good teachers in my team teaching me how to bowl and i improved in the second game... and it was so freaking hot on that day too... we all didn't want to go out of the house... so in the end stayed at home and watch movies... watched Eight Below... i highly recommend this movie if u are a dog person like me... the huskies in the show are so cute and well trained... very touching movie... and also got paul walker... definitely are incentives to watch the movie...

had cognition presentation today also... i think we went well... our topic was fetal alcohol syndrome... but i think the other group who presented ADHD did better and they only had 2 pple... oh well... it's over... and i got back my health policy essay this week too... not back marks... quite happy with the marks... but apparently karen got into trouble cos they suspected her of plagiarism... so she had to redo the paper and she was really upset... anyway... that's abt it... and it was so freaking hot again today and the flies are starting to come out again... aarghh... i hate it...

btw, something's wrong with my tagboard... and i can't open my blog on my laptop cos it kept skipping to the page that says 'we can't find ur tagboard address??" what's going on??!!

LonG, LoNGEr, and loNgEsT...

this week was really stressed for me... becos of human occupations exam yesterday... worth 50%... it was really difficult for me... cos we had to memorise the case studies and be familiar with them... and i could not really concentrate during studying... cos i was hooked onto this really funny hongkong cooking show called Beautiful Cooking... really funny... seeing the actresses cook and some of them are really hilarious, because they never cook before and one even set the wok on fire... and the judges were also really hilarious... anyway... yeah now that human occupations exam is over, next up is the project for the placement... really annoying, becos mine is a literature review of like 20 articles... and i have to print all of them out and send them to nepean hospital... waste my money... i doubt they will even read them...
final exams timetable just came out... shit man... this semester is really bad... the first week is like one exam every day... and i have like 6 papers altogether... why...

nothing much happening... just can't wait to go back and that's like my motivation to quickly study and get over it and look forward to going home... and i have decided to keep my hair long... yes... i have never had long hair in my life so i am going to try keeping it and see how it goes... now my hair is still shoulder length but can tie up already... but it's really bad if i dun tie it up... look so messy and make my neck itchy... let's just wait and see how long i can stand it before my succumb to cutting my hair again... cos pong said i dun look nice with my hair tied up... :(

BaCK tO uNi... :(

THis weekend is a long weekend... bcos apparently tomorrow is a public holiday... Labour Day... and i am working... for once... working is good, bcos i get double rate pay... even though my arms and legs are aching and in pain... been working throughout the weekend... have to earn and save money becos i am planning to take driving lessons after exams and one hour of lesson is like $40??? suck my blood man... and also becos when i go back to singapore... won't be working for like 3 months... so now must earn as much money as i can... hmm... there's alot of new faces in the store now... i guess i am just not used to it... cos it's been so long since we had new pple coming in... and now suddenly so many new faces ard... so like i am considered one of the "older" pple in the store... in terms of the time we worked in the store since it opened...

last friday... invited yochi and amelia over to do baking... they made the cheesesticks while i made the caramel brownie... in my opinion, both were a disaster... firstly, they put too much pepper in the cheesesticks and for some reason, the cheesesticks did not rise... all of them came out flat... dunno what happened also... and then the brownie... after i added and stirred everything and put the tray into the oven... yochi picked up this packet and asked me how come the caramel's still unopened... i did not even realise there was no caramel in the brownie when it was supposed to be caramel brownie... haha... so i had to take the brownie mix out of the oven and pour the caramel on top... and again... for some reason... the brownie came out all mushy and sticky... stuck to the paper cos i could not find grease paper, so i just used some paper thing and sprayed oil on it... obviously it did not work... alamak... and cheesesticks and brownies were supposed to be my specialty... yeah... watched Love Actually as we ate our fruits of labour...

this week... two of my close friends turning 21... yay... so happy 21st Jo and Angie!!! u guys finally joined the "mature adults" club... haha... enjoy urselves... and Jo i hoped u received my letter...

and it's back to uni again... so not looking forward to going back... so many assignments and presentations... and exams... this semester is sooo hard... and they are going to base the honours selection on our results this year... stress ah...
