2006-07-14T21:35:00.000+08:00

hii. hell yeah, i'm finally eighteen. celebrated my birthday yesterday, on the thirteenth of july. and now i'm finally legal to do whatever i want. hehe. =). but it doesn't really matter anyway since we all know that i am a very good girl and that i will not do anything dumb. anyway, i just really want to thank everyone who made my day. u guys rock. to shaegan and pui mun who called me all the way from kl as well as to mandy who called from singapore. love you guys very much. and erm, to those who wished me through friendster, sms and msn. thanks lots. oh, and not to forget my beloved bunch of nuts here. ching, koi, iylia, gav, jack, chris and jon. u guys are the ultimate la. really treasure our friendship and i hope that we remain friends forever. thanks for the lovely presents and the yummy dinner. and especially the 'wonderful' surprise at 12 a.m. sharp. i was really touched. by the cake and all. and i still managed to enjoy myself eventhough you guys totally got me drenched in water and messed up my apartment. haha. i'm really thankful that we've somehow managed to become really great friends and i will always remember and cherish our memories together. hehe. here are some of the presents i recieved.

from them. thanks for always being there for me. friends always and forever yeah?

from koi. apparently she bought it from kl and carried it all the way here. heart you forever bitch.

yit ming. i'm really glad we got over what happened and came out of it still friends. not as close as before but friends nonetheless. hehe.

its a fan from china. lol. thanks viv. really great having a friend like you. hope to get to know you better.

from jon yong. my 7-11. hehe. thanks man!

omg. thankss so much jon. i love it soo much. i swear i was speechless when i opened the card. and that's a rare thing. hehe.

a closer upper view. two tickets to the all american rejects concert. hell yeah man. i can't waitt! =)

so yeah. left kl on saturday night and arrived at melbourne on sunday morning, the 25th of june. was damn tired after eight sleepless and very uncomfortable hours on the plane. none of us sat together as the flight was fully-booked and there were no extra seats left. but i didn't really mind as i got a window seat and was sitting next to some sweet old lady. i like her. she's so nice and motherly and we were talking for quite a bit about all the random stuff. haha. she was telling me about how she so carelessly left her key on the luggage lock and about how she was feeling scared that someone might open her luggage and steal some very impotant documents. oh, and i couldn't help myself from taking some pretty pictures.

ok. so this is either kl or melbourne from above. i swear.

and i'm pretty darn sure that's melbourne down there.

a clearer view of melbourne. so pretty. i like.

i find this so amusing. hehe. who would have thought. a rolls royce plane. tee hee. yesh, i'm easily amused.

oh, and on the night before i left kl, that's the 23rd of june, jessy and the rest had a surprise farewell/early birthday party for me. so sweet. this time, i really didn't see it coming. haha. yeah, unlike the last surprise farewell party they had for me over at my house. hehe. thanks so much you guys. especially jessy. love and miss you guys lots. i really had a blast. initially, i thought we were just gonna go to hartamas for one last dinner together. just us girls. so yeah. jessy and pui mun came over to my house to pick me up. then jessy said that she wanted to go home and change. so yeah, whatever. when we got to her house, she asked me to come in cause she wanted to show me something funny. if i'm not mistaken, something that sung wrote about me on her school year book. random much? heh. so i went in. went upstairs and all that jazz. then she asked me to pick between her room and her sister's room. this part's really confusing and funny. i guess you just had to be there to get it. so yeah, anyway, opened jessy's room door and sitting down inside were ben, aaron, natalie lim, choon yauw and how liong. was quite surprised la. but actually, i kinda figured it out when both jess and pui mun ask me to choose between the two doors. so anyway, i thought that was it but then they ask me to try and open the other door again. because it was locked the first time i tried to open it. so i did. and out popped keat boon, ding shyong and ding nern. that one really surprised me. cause i didn't think jessy would invite them. then after that, more people started arriving. like zhi ven, cheng haw, justin, ee yang and jun win.

so yeah. we had dinner there and all. and they tried to make me drink alcohol but i wasn't in the mood for it. i think i'm so over drinking after that incident during ching's birthday. haha. so yeah, i stuck to good ol' ribena. had so much fun catching up with everyone, reminiscing about the past and basically just chilling. hehe. thanks so much you guys for coming. eventhough it was so far away. can't wait to see you all in december. oh, and to jessy, pui mun and how liong. thanks so much for the present. i really like it. love loads.

high school memories

2006-07-01T12:57:00.000+08:00

hii. had such a great time yesterday. just chilling and catching up with my beloved 5m nuts. reminiscing bout the past. omg, i miss them so much. i didn't even realise until yesterday. hehe. all the sampatness, the nonstop laughter, the countless camwhoring shots and the weird inside sarcasm jokes. hell yeah. it was just like old times.

followed seah min ken to wms around 1. thanks dear for putting up with all my noise and my yummy food. hehe. yesh, you really are a very nice and sweet guy. uh-huh. seriously la. giggles. gosh, i really miss those spm times when we would go to and back from school together. laughing and arguing like nobody's business. oh, and who could forget the lovely kajang satay we would have on our way home in sungai buloh. hehe. so yeah. met up with all the other nuts back at school. haha. on the way to school, keat boon called and ask where we were. i said in sentul la. then he asked which part of sentul. then i was like erm, i'm not sure but i can see the twin towers and the kl tower. haha. turned out min ken n i were actually on jalan kuching. lol. sorry la. typical me. you have to understand. hehe. but i know you do. so chilled around until school let out. collected our yearbooks as well as talked to a few teachers and juniors. went for an interact board meeting. haha. it was actually more like a gossip session. haha. the form 5s these days. but i enjoyed. =) hehe. left school for mv around 3.30?

omg. followed gan kok shen's car. and we almost died. twice. yesh, u read correctly. dude, your driving scares the crap out of me la. the first time, he almost hit the poles in the middle of the road. the one intersecting the road to bangsar and i think another road to the city. shiit wei. cause we were suppose to cut through to bangsar. but we found the signboard for bangsar a tad too late. initially, kok shen tried to cut through the lanes. luckily the boy was smart enough to realise that we couldn't make it in time thus swerving back into our original lane. whoah. i bet if he kept going, we would have definitely crashed. con-de-firm. the second time was during a traffic jam. i think we were camwhoring. then i think he was a bit the blur la. almost crashed into the proton saga directly in front of us. but thankfully, we managed to make it to mv in one piece. although i think it was because we prayed. haha. yeah, after almost getting into two accidents and passing by one totally smashed up red kancil, we decided to pray. i swear. dangerous driver la that boy. and he blames it on me. so much for perlahan-lahan driving right? haha. but we had fun nontheless. laughing and camwhoring like mad.

watched love undercover 3. seriously retarded show. there was no plot and no ending. it was soo incredulously dumb. at the end, we were just like whaat? dee was like apa ni apa ni. haha. had dinner at chillis. as usual la. i swear we were soo noisy, it was just unbelievable. like dee mentioned in her blog and i quote sixteen ex-5m students causing havoc in chillis. only one word to describe it. awesome-ness. i miss 5m tres alot la. hope we do meet up again before i leave. hehe. pictures will be up soon. when i get them la, that is. hehe. zomg. brought my camera but it died in the middle of dinner. crap la. i hope it's not spoilt. crosses fingers. it's not even that old. less than a year? pfft.

football. ahh. germany vs. argentina. and germany won. wonderful la. tee hee.

updatess. =)

2006-06-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

yesh yesh. i've finally found the time to blog. =) uh-huh. omg, i swear it's been far too long since i last blogged. one month, i think. sorry sorry. but then again, it's not really technically my fault. i mean, what with the crappy internet connection over at arrows and my term 2 exams coming up. so yeah. but at least now, my exams are freaking finally over. after long last. omg, i feel soo relieved and liberated. hell yeah. no more late nights studying, no more doing silly maths problems and basically no more stress. or at least, for the next two weeks. hopefully, i didnt do too badly and all my hard work pays off for when i get back my results. but, enough about that already. oh, have i mentioned, it's currently winter in melbourne. yesh yesh. it has been since the first of june. and apparently, it's strangely extra cold this year compared to all the other years. according to everyone, that is. but yeah. i swear, the weather's freaking horrible. it's just way too cold and windy. it's so cold to the point that it's even foggy here at times. blah. but i guess it definitely beats the weather back in kl. haha. hands down. so i really shouldn't complain right?

oh, and guess what. i'm finally back in kl. uh-huh. for only two weeks though. so make sure you guys keep your dates free, yeah? haha. can't wait to see everyone. especially my beloved 5m nuts. can't wait to see them on friday. i swear, i've been so deprived of all the lastest movies. i think mi3 was the last movie i've watched. yeah, i am that outdated. but mi3 was good. i think i watched it with jon. oh, yeah, i did. and it wasnt shown in a normal cinema-like place. it was at some smaller room, where everyone just sat on super huge bean bags. so that was fun. eh, wait. i just remembered. i watched stay alive on monday with jess and pui mun. "if you die in the game, you die for real." omg, i swear i was covering my eyes like 3/4 of the movie. even though it was just another typical scary movie, nonetheless i was still totally freaked out. omg, i freaking hate watching thillers and horror movies. and yet, somehow whenever i go out with jess and pui mun, they always manage to drag me to go watch whichever scary movie that's showing. wonderful friends i have la. haha. but i still tres love you guys. i think the only good thing about stay alive is that sophia bush, samaire armstrong, jon foster and frankie muniz were in it. so that's hot. but i still really really want to watch tokyo drift. i think i might go watch it tomorrow with my trinity friends. since all the people back here have watched it. pfft.

i'm now going to watch my smallville season 4. byee.

lalala~!

2006-05-28T21:28:00.000+08:00

hiii. so this weekend wasn't too bad. here's a quick recap on what i did.

let's see. woke up at around 11 on saturday. ate lunch over at subway.they had this 'buy one, get one free' promo thingy going on. so that was cool. after that, we headed off to the library to do our hoi essay. omg, have i mention how much i hate doing assignments? i seriously can't wait until the second term holidays. anyway, stayed there for about 3 to 4 hours? the guys decided to leave earlier so that they could go play dota. got damn tired after awhile so we, or rather ching n i persuaded koi to leave. tee hee. sorry dear. then we all went home. oh, n i had subway again for dinner. somehow, i just never get sick of it. hehe. oh, and at night, we went to watch x-men : the last stand. i found it quite good. really enjoyed it. i mean, what's not to like? there were both hot guys and cool action scenes in it. nice nice. i give it two thumbs up. oh, and to those who haven't seen it yet, make sure you all stay to watch the small little scene that comes on after the credits. after the movie, we decided to go play foosball at charlton over at china town. i think we played until like 3 ish? hehe. it was just so fun that i didn't really realise how late it was.

today, i woke up around 2. tried to do some reading for hoi but somehow i just couldn't concentrate. anyway, went off to planetshakers city church. it was awesome. the music, the atmosphere, the worship, just everything. =) wow. yeah, it's that good. oh, and their new album is finally out. so make sure u all pick it up. had so much fun. seriously. but it was raining when we wanted to go home. so we had to walk on the wet ground. n i was wearing flipflops. yuck. i swear i hate getting my feet all wet. it just irritates me. pfft.

anyway, i'm off to sleep now. nitee.

HiH rocks big time!

2006-05-24T21:42:00.000+08:00

me and koi went shopping again yesterday. =) bought two tops; one from mng and the other from fornarina. nice nice. i like very much. but quite expensive la. spent about AUD 120. but koi thinks it's considered quite reasonable because the original price for the top from fornarina was like AUD 200? it was slashed down by 50% when i bought it. oh, and apparently fornarina is some italian designer brand. omg, i swear their jackets are soo nice. but freaking expensive la. haha. oh, and i finally went to watch da vinci's code. we decided to watch it late last night. the show ended at like 1 ish in the morning. and i had class this morning at 9. but nonetheless, i enjoyed it alot. very very nice. i give it 2 thumbs up. i didn't really read the book. i mean i did but i stopped at the part when robert langdon and the girl went over to the other guy's house to find out more about the holy grail. but i still managed to understand most of the movie. apparently it's quite different from the book.

oh, and today, there was an autumn music concert at trinity. quite cool. some of the bands were really good. but HiH still rocks the best. HiH consists of iylia, gavin and eugene. apparently it was a really last minute thing. like they only decided they were going to join the concert like 2 or 3 hours before it started. and they still managed to own the other bands big time. or to put it as iylia would, they were beyond godlike. haha. they sang two songs, tak setiakan hati by dygta and hero by enrique iglesias. and they dedicated it to me, koi and ching. aww. we love you guys too. eventhough their singing was not that good, nonetheless they still performed it really sportingly and they were just plain funny. me, koi and ching were practically screaming our lungs out cheering for them.

anyway, i'm gonna go sleep now. have to wake up early tomorrow to do either my hoi essay or catch up on my econs exercises. i hate econs la. somehow i just can't seem to understand anything. or maybe it's just because i'm always too tired during lectures and thus cannot pay attention to the teacher. blah.

wham bam kablamm splat

2006-05-21T23:47:00.000+08:00

okay. so i know i really shouldn't be blogging right now. but what the heck right? for one thing, it definitely beats doing my eap assignment. actually, i'm pretty sure alot of other things are way more fun doing compared to finishing boring assignments. shiit. i just totally realised that i'm going to be super busy over the next few weeks, being buried under a freaking huge pile of assignments. let's see.

22/5 - eap written assignment term 2
2/6 - hoi essay
5/6 - drama monologue exam (yesh, believe it. there is even a drama exam.)
12/6 - accounting february essay #1
17/6 - term 2 exams

those are the due dates for all my major assignments for this term. so please do me a favour and just kill me now. =) on a good note, i'll be flying back to kl on the 24/6. yesh yesh. that's definitely something to look forward to. i mean, what's not to anticipate? i'll get to see my family, catch up with old friends, shop till i drop and eat till i pop. see, it even rhymes. lol. omg, i'm getting so lame it's not even funny.

anyway, here's a flashback on my weekend. so yesterday, we decided to take a train down to chapel street because we were so in need for some retail therapy. it was really fun. although we had to wait damn freaking long for everyone to arrive before we could finally leave. yeah. instead of leaving at 12 as originally planned, we ended up leaving around 2 ish. and to top it off, the weather was damn freaking cold plus i was wearing a skirt. pfft. so yeah, took a train but ended up at the wrong stop. somehow we ended up at some small little deserted town where the houses still had cute little chimneys. haha. so took another train and after long last we arrived at chapel street. it was damn nice there la. hmm, something like orchard road in singapore. shopping heaven. although instead of shopping malls, there were little shops. yeah. imagine, a really long street filled with rows after rows of shops. so i managed to buy two bags; one in gold and another in metallic blue, this really cute pair of sneakers from playboy and a hairband. all in all, i think i spent around AUD 150? not too bad la. considering that the last time i actually went shopping was during the term 1 holidays? so yeah, i'm a very happy and satisfied girl. =)

and today, i woke up at around 2. haha. don't ask why. so i went down to koi's place and we decided to get started on our eap assignment which is due this week. but as usual, we just couldn't concentrate. first, we decided that we were hungry. so koi cooked us some lunch/tea. we just sat there eating udon mee while watching this 'my date with the president's daughter' show on tv. after that, it was back to our assignment. until we came up with the excuse that it was too cold and we didn't have any inspiration to continue. therefore, we decided to take a little break. how conveniently smart of us. so anyway, we decided to make cute little clay heads. haha. they were actually meant as presents for koi's little sisters. oops. but at least we left them the 'make your own teddy bears' kit right? for now that is. =)

say hii to my new little friend, levonne.

after we were done and satisfied with decorating our little friends, we agreed to continue doing our boring assignment. for a short while la at least. until koi decided she was hungry and therefore proclaimed that it was time for dinner. so she decided to take a tram to the city and take away some yummy vietnamese beefball noodles for us. thanks koi. haha. to sum it up, i would say today was quite a productive day. seriously. after all, we did manage to complete about three quarters of our assignment. =) i think koi might even had finished the entire thing.

oh, and i finally finished watching most of my veronica mars cds. i swear it's a damn good show. definitely worth watching. yeah. and i have also finally watched the finale for season 3 of the o.c.. not as good as i would have expected. but alright nontheless. i still think one tree hill's season finale's the best. compared to veronica mars and the o.c.. but now that all the shows have ended for this season, i have seriously nothing to watch. why la why. the oh-so-smart producers just had to start filming all the tv series at the same time so that when all the shows have end for that season, there's this super huge space in between the next season of that show with utterly nothing to do. pfft. well, at least as a consolation, i'll be able to concentrate solely on school and not be easily distracted by watching too much tv series. for the next few months at least. until season 4 of the o.c. and one tree hill as well as season 3 of veronica mars start showing again.

oh, and about two or three weeks ago, i decided to buy some posters to decorate my apartment with. although most of them are of the o.c. tee hee.

the guys bought this for me a few moths ago. somehow, they were being really nice that day and decided to buy us girls a poster each. naturally, i got the o.c.. =) thanks guys. i heart all of you very much.

the o.c. totally rocks my colourful socks.

stay out or i'll bite. nah, just kidding. seriously.

the other o.c. poster i bought is still not hanged up due to my laziness as well as my lack of free time to do so. anyway, it's late and i'm really tired. so good night and sweet dreams. oh, and i do apologise beforehand if i stop posting for awhile. sorry sorry. but what with my assignments and all.

fo shizzle ma nizzle

2006-05-14T01:47:00.000+08:00

so today was a slow day. woke up at about 1 ish. watched a bit of veronica mars. good show good show. everyone should watch it at least once. confirm can get addicted to it. yeap. and after that, jon and i decided to drag out butts off to the melbourne uni baillieu library to do some research for our hoi essay. managed to photocopy some stuff so that's good. left the library after like 20 minutes. haha. what a waste of time. all in all, it was a really boring day. yawns. anyway, i'm not really in the mood to blog. so i'll just post a few of the pictures we took yesterday at big noise. enjoy!

big noiise!!

2006-05-13T00:37:00.000+08:00

wah liao. damn tired la today. had a really long day. hmm, woke up at about 8.40? as usual, i hurried to get ready and off i was to psychology tutorial. omg, it seems like i keep getting up later and later each day. not good not good. and then i always end up being late to class, all flustered up from running and totally out of breath. i need to either sleep earlier each night or sleep less hours each day. yikes. i need something or anything to just allow me to wake up earlier. blah.

oh, yesh. and after school today we had this event called Big Noise. what happens is that everyone gathers around in a circle out in the field according to their drama classes and just play music together using different brazilian instruments. the four major musical instruments played were the drums, some shaker thingy, long wooden sticks and some cowbell thingy. sounds lame and all but it actually was quite fun. i kid you not. haha. i played the shaker thingy. and there was even this band playing on a temporary stage. not too bad la. and yesh, singz. i totally agree with you that the drummer is tres hot. haha. actually, come to think of it, i think half the female population there thought he was hot. after the event ended, everyone just scrambled over to him in desperate hopes to get their pictures taken with him. lol. anyway, back to the actual event. everyone was just going crazy and banging the hell out of the instruments that they were suppose to be playing. it was majorly insane. but of course we didn't just play random sounds. there was a certain beat we had to follow. and during the middle of the event, each group was given a slot to perform something in the middle of the circle. some did cool dance moves while others just did weird stuff that i totally didn't get. i thought my group's performance was one of the best. we did some sort of gang fight thing to tie in with our group's name, Beatz Up which stands for a) our group is the best and we're so gonna beat the rest of the rest plus b) the fact that we're playing loud beats. yeap. our group name was courtesy of darwin's brillance. so yeah. the event ended with the band playing a few songs and the crowd just going wild. everyone just started dancing and a few people even came out to the front to just dance solo. hmm, something like that club scene at the starting part of that movie honey by jessica alba. total coolness. people like syafiq shuffling around and michael doing his breakdance. whoa. was so surprised when michael started breakdancing cause i totally didnt know he took dance lessons. utter hotness la. that guy totally rocks my socks. or like andrew puts it, he so rocks my colourful socks. haha.

at night, i went over to matt's house for cell group meeting. it was really cool seeing everyone there. we had bible study followed by dinner. everyone brought some food each. i brought drinks. =) stayed there until like 2. thanks to jon who just had keep trying to beat soon seng at soccer, ps2 style. ended up losing miserably and doing about 40 push ups? haha. me and matt were just laughing endlessly at him and making sure he did all 40 push ups.

hope you all had a great day today too. =) nites and sweet dreams.

here's a quick update.

on wednesday, i somehow managed to spill some very yummy orange juice on my carpet. why am i not surprised? pfft. somehow, i very cleverly decided to leave my cup on the floor and somehow, while i was walking around the room accidentally spilled it. damn crap la. so as usual, i started freaking out. started splashing water all over the stain in desperate hopes that the orange juice will get diluted and turn into water. tough luck. when that didn't work, i started scrubbing the carpet profusely with soap. that turned out even worse. when i tried washing and wiping off the soap, it simply refused to come off and the soap just kept foaming on the carpet. i was damn frustrated la. finally, with the help of the oh-so-magical carpet stain remover, i miraculously managed to remove the yucky stain. and now, it's barely noticeable. =) yay! so kudos to the oh-so-brilliant person who got bored one day and decided to invent the magical carpet stain remover.

on a good note, i think i did quite well for this term's exams. =) dee, you'll be so damn proud of me. you too sharrada. haha. all those times i copied off your homework. i'm pretty sure they must have helped me in some ways. yesh yesh. i think it's mainly because i do not have sampat and annoying people bugging the daylights out of me in all my classes. haha. yup yup. no more gan kok shen, ng huey yuen, lim ding shyong, wong cheng haw, lim wen di and the rest of all my beloved 5m monkeys. but eventhough u guys annoyed me like hell, you know i still adore you guys right? yesh yesh. even you gan kok shen. although u took pleasure in tormenting me and still like to irritate me with your deadly sarcasm until i get all upset and pissed off. so yeah.
maths 1 - 71/100
literature - 4.25/5.00
psychology - 10/10
hopefully, i'll continue doing well for the rest of all my term exams.

then yesterday, it was koi's birthday. so yeah. Happy 18th Birthday, My Darling Koi Fish Bitch>! tee hee. you know i love you lots. and i know you love me even more. =) thanks for coming to melbourne with me. eventhough you constantly annoy me with your lameness and you always irritate me with your whiny voice, i still really appreciate your friendship and yesh i adore you. five years of friendship and countless more to come right? you really do amuse me at times. so anyways, we were being super semangat people yesterday. koi decided that we had to like totally dress up and go out for a really expensive meal. yeap, she spent us. so yeah. we all dressed up and took the tram to south gates. it was damn fun. anyway, here are some of the pictures we took last night.

2006-05-02T20:27:00.000+08:00

blardy crap! i seriously feel and think that someone's so messing with my life. damn annoying and pissing off la. i've been like super unlucky the past few days. the most i've been in ages. first i somehow managed to lose one side of one of my earrings and now its AUD 150. like what the hell rite? i mean can u freaking imagine?!?! that's like close to RM 400? damn screwed up la. i feel like hitting someone or like smashing something. okay. so maybe it's partly my fault. or should i say entirely my fault. maybe i shouldn't have jumped tram today. or any other day for that matter. but i just didn't feel like walking to college. and the worst thing is that i somehow had the feeling that i was gonna get caught. like i totally knew that the melbourne uni tram stop is the most frequently checked spot but somehow i just decided to stop there. like usually i would get off a stop ahead at grattan street and just walk all the way to union house. but today, i just decided to go all the way. shit la. feeling so blardy annoyed at myself now. so here's what happened. like i said earlier, somehow i decided to go all the way to the melbourne uni tram stop. and being the blur person that i usually is plus having just woken up from my daily afternoon nap, i so totally did not realise that there were a few officers checking tram tickets until i got off the tram. first instinct for most people is to try and escape right? so that's just what i tried to do. was so thankful when i successfully manage to avoid and walk past the first officer. turned to the right and saw a second officer. damn it. tried to walk past that officer but failed miserably. omg. i was feeling so freaking scared when i heard him call out to me and asked to see my tram ticket. the thing is i did have a tram ticket with me but it wasn't validated. so yeah. tried to lie my way out by tell him all the nonsense excuse and all that jazz. told him that i had just jumped on the tram the stop before and that the tram was way too pack thus i couldn't squeeze my way in to the middle of the tram and validate my ticket. i know it wasn't the best excuse in the world but i was feeling all panicky and somehow couldn't think properly. oh, plus i was looking all blur, sad and upset. so yeah. all my details were still taken down anyway. but the officer was pretty nice. he was being all sympathetic and helpful. he told me i could try and argue my reason for not validating my ticket. uh huh. so i guess that's what i'm gonna do. hopefully when i get the letter concerning the fine, i can call the people up and explain myself and either get the fine cancelled or get it reduced. omg. i so hope that works. if not i can just totally forget about shopping and eating yummy food for the next few months. on the good side, kenyo got fined too. haha. we were so totally bitching about the tram people while doing maths during maths tutorial. argh!!!! so i guess that's all for tonight. hope you were all entertained. blah. hopefully, tomorrow turns out to be a better day and my luck takes a 180 degree turn for the better. night and sweet dreams.

why la why?!?!

2006-04-30T21:40:00.000+08:00

omg, so not in the mood to blog. lost one side of another of my pretty earrings. this time, i lost my nice dangly silver earring. so annoying la. i don't get how i can be so damn careless. i mean this is already like the second time i'm losing one side of two of my lovely earrings in two months?

my oh-so-lonely very pretty silver earring.

my very lovely and much adored butterfly earring.

an upclose view.

omg, just blogging about it makes me feel annoyed all over again. pfft. =(

friday, at last.

2006-04-29T00:03:00.000+08:00

omg, today was totally hectic. n tiring. so i woke up at like 8.30? rushed to get ready for class n all. managed to get to class just after 9. whoa. i really shouldn't be sleeping so late every night. not good not good. anyway, first lesson was psychology tutorial. watched some pregnancy video thingy. omg. i could barely stay awake. kept drifting off to sleep. after psychology, i had history of ideas. was so darn tired that i decided to go take a nap over at koi's during my 30 minute break in between the two lessons. anyway, after lunch, i had econs lecture. n eventhough i tried to stay awake by drinking my yummy bubble tea and eating coco pops, i just couldn't. decided to take a little nap. was in the midst of a really cool dream when the silly teacher decided to wake me up. oops. so tried my utmost hardest to pay attention to him after that. although, i still haven't got a clue as to what he's talking about. my last class today was history of ideas lecture. managed to stay awake during the first half of it but dozed off during the 10 minute break. damn it la. missed all the important stuff. pfft. after school, went home and chilled for awhile. hanged over at gavin's place. played a little ps2 and all. then went out for dinner followed by ocf. whoa, everyone was being so damn gay today. no one wanted to have supper with me and ching. we felt so abandoned. gavin, chris and jon decided to go clubbing. me and ching were supposed to follow them initially but we just didn't feel like it. tried to persuade them out of it, but noo, they just had to go so they could go dance with older girls. pfft. jack, on the other hand, decided to go and find that hong kong girl. can't remember what her name is. sorry. koi was feeling very hardworking tonight and therefore decided to stay at home to do maths exersices. pfft. iylia also suddenly decides that he's feeling way too full for supper. matt was acting quite weird too. why la why. so instead of the usual eight people, there were only two of us. so annoying la. anyway, i had damn alot of fun just talking to ching about anything and everything. bonding buddies. haha. totally beats going clubbing la rite, ching? so, chilled for like 3 hours before going home. whoa. damn cold la. walked in the rain and all. haha. oh, and i think i'm addicted to bubble tea. i've been having at least one cup and sometimes two everyday for the past week or so. but, i swear, it tastes so damn good. especially the one in china town. definitely beats the one in lygon and union house. the one in qv also not too bad la. haha. me, ching and jack are really starting to become bubble tea experts. anyway, gonna go sleep now. nites. =)

back to school blues...

2006-04-25T00:41:00.000+08:00

blah. i finally had school today after two weeks plus of holidays. but surprisingly it wasn't that bad. had only two classes today; eap and accounts lecture. i was suppose to have accounts tutorial as well but apparently it is always cancelled during the first week of each term. so that was cool.

anyway, managed to wake up at around 8 today. as usual, i just had to take damn long to get ready. by the time i went downstairs, it was almost 8.45. somehow, i always end up leaving arrow super late. thankfully, i didn't arrive too late for eap this time. i was hoping to arrive a little earlier or at least on time for once. plus it was the first day of term two. but, it wasn't too bad la. at least i didn't get a pink slip unlike the last time. tee hee. whoa. it was only the first day of class and already we were given the handout concerning term two's written assessment worth 5 marks. crap. and we only have like less than a month to finish it. i know it may seem like nothing, but trust me, it's important. not to mention that we're also suppose to complete some term assessment thingy for both psychology and hoi. plus both assessments carry quite high marks if i'm not mistaken. hopefully, i somehow manage to finish everything on time and not procrastinate until the very last moment. if not, confirm i die and i can totally forget my hopes of even getting into the university of melbourne. hmmz, and i received my results for the maths 1 test held before the holidays. 71%. not too bad la i would say. considering i only started studying like the night before. but quite disappointing also la. i know i could have scored higher if it wasn't for all the silly mistakes i made. pfft.

after school, i suddenly had the craving for bubble tea. the one i had earlier at union house sucked majorly. i wanted the one being sold in china town. anyway, told ching about it during accounts lecture and she decided she wanted one too. being the semangat people that we are, we decided to go all the way to the city to satisfy ourselves. haha. no one else wanted to come with us. they all had classes. haha. dropped my matt's place for awhile. in the end, he also decided to skip his class and come join us for some yummy bubble tea. after that, he brought us to this pancake parlour. talked for damn long there. reminiscing about our primary and high school days. haha.

went home around 6 ish. oh, and i bought delicious sushi on the way home. tee hee. oh, i went to the gym today. =) haha. surprising right? i went with gavin and jack. worked out for slightly longer than an hour. was damn tired after that. went over to iylia's for dinner. he and koi cooked dinner. haha.

yesh, and tomorrow's a holiday. it's anzac day. so yay! =) hope everyone had an equally good day too. nite and sweet dreams. xoxo.

mandy, where have u disappeared to la? i miss u la nut.

2006-04-22T18:33:00.000+08:00

yesh yesh. i know i haven't been blogging for damn long. *blushes* i guess i just haven't been feeling up to it. school's been really tiring. what with all the walking around n the long hours of tutorials n lectures. especially on fridays when i have like classes the entire day. i always just end up falling asleep in econs lecture. i know i'm so gonna regret it later on in the year. but i just can't help it. but hopefully now i'll start blogging more constantly. yesh, i know i've been saying that for damn long. hopefully, this time it'll be for real. lol.

anyway, here's an update of me. in case you guys don't already know, i'm currently having my first term break. actually, i've been on holiday since like the fifth of april. before that, i had my first term exams. only maths and literature though. results will be out on monday. hopefully i didn't do too badly. was supposed to study with ching n koi during the holidays but that totally did not work out. it was the total opposite instead. haven't even touched any of my assignments. so gonna die once school starts next week.

oh, n i totally blew my so-called budget this month. i think it's probably due to the fact that it's the holidays. spent like close to AUD600 this month. i feel so guilty. went shopping like twice this week. the first one was at this bettina liano warehouse sale thingy. i swear, it was so worth it. everything was slashed down to damn cheap. me and ching spent like damn long there. jon was dying of boredom. haha. managed to buy four skirts for about AUD120. original prices for all four skirts come up to about AUD600. feel so damn proud of my purchases. =) then i went shopping again yesterday. spent the entire day at dfo. omg, it was shopping paradise. koi, ching n i managed to go through every shop except the last three. felt so disappointed. haha. i bought this super nice white colour nine west clutch bag for only AUD39. original price is AUD69. it's still in brand new condition except that it's missing one dimante on the handle. but it really isn't that noticeable. n it's super easy to fix. other than that, i also bought a top from esprit, a skirt from witchery and a pair of flip flops. altogether, i'm quite happy with what i bought. uh-huh.

anyway, it's time for dinner. so i guess i shall just end here. byee for now. oops, just wanna wish ching a super happy belated 18th birthday. now u can buy all the drinks for when we wanna have another party at club 911. *winks* love u so much. hope u enjoyed the present we made u. thanks for being such a great friend. even though we just got to know each other like two months ago, seems like its been way longer right? here's to many more wonderful memories and a whole lifetime of friendship. S2 lots gal.

tiredd..

2006-03-09T22:09:00.000+08:00

good news : i finally got my internet connection all set up. like after long last.

bad news : i lost one side of my nice nice earrings. yesh. my oh-so-pretty butterfly one. the one i absolutely adore. so annoyed. blah.

anyway, its one in the morning. i've got class at nine. i'm dead tired. will blog soon. hopefully la. nite nite.

date movie sucks majorly.. i swear!!

2006-03-03T19:53:00.000+08:00

hi people. yesh. i'm back. i know i haven't been blogging for damn long. n i feel so bad. sorry sorry. i know i've been ignoring my sad lil blog. haha. but i can't help it. i've just been super busy. getting used to everything here. omg, i've been walking more than i ever have in my entire life. i swear. like i have to walk everywhere. to the city n to school. blah. cuz i don't have a car n tram tickets r just too expensive. sigh.

so yeah. school's officially starting this monday. i just received my timetable today. n it sucks majorly. like i've got classes everyday. from nine in the morning till five in the evening. of course i have free periods in between. but none of my friends have the same break. so i won't be able to see anyone. other than chris. i guess i'll just have to meet up with everyone for lunch. omg. i have a feeling i'm gonna get super stressed out as the term begins. have i mention? i'll be taking two compulsory subjects n four electives. so that'll make six subjects in total. erm, english, history of ideas, maths one, accounts, economics and psychology. pfft. i 'm realli gonna try as hard as possible to get into melbourne university. have to. i think i'm gonna try get into commerce law. n i need a 95% minimum to get in. if i can't get into that, i'm gonna try doing commerce and psychology. i'm still not sure if i should major in one n minor in the other or if i should do a double degree. or does it mean the same thing? damn confusing la.

oh and i had fair dinkum today. thats this event where everyone goes to and decide what clubs they wanna join. so yeah. i think i'll be joining a few clubs. yesh. i shall be joining the cooking club n the golf club. don't ask me why. haha. oh, i think i'm gonna try taking up tennis too. eventhough i know nuts about it. christine n andrew have both agreed to coach me. soon i shall be wimbledon material. hehe. just watch and see. lol. i wish. syafiq says the day i become a wimbledon star, he'll be the next biggest football star. look down on me la. blah.

oh, guess what. i finally managed to cook pasta. the one from the packet. hehe. i'm sure everyone's gonna be damn proud of me, rite? haha. i know it's no big deal to some of you cooking experts. but for me, that's considered a super big achievement already. lol. last week, koi lin and ching yi kicked me out of the kitchen. just because i forgot to wash the spring onions before cutting them. blah. don't worry. i shall continue improving and soon i shall be a cooking expert too. =)

i swear everyone here thinks i'm damn blur. they call it a melissa thing. haha. silly them. oh, n andrew thinks i'm damn conniving n manipulative. just because i bought a second hand economics text book for $55 and sold it the next day for $60. hehe. but it was the girl's fault. she made me and my friends wait at kfc for forty minutes before actually appearing. and all because she was having lunch. as if we weren't hungry and all. silly bitch. i swear andrew's damn funny. haha. he gives me the funniest look whenever i say something completely normal. he says that i'm gonna make a damn good businesswoman. tee hee.

shiit. i'm so dreading monday. blah. i have to start waking up around eight. *cringes* and i can't be late for classes or else i'll get a pink slip. utter crap. i'm gonna try my hardest to study at least two hours each day. yesh. i shall be transforming into a total nerd. but it'll all be worth it if i get into the commerce law programme in melbourne university. i'm gonna prove to everyone that i'm not just some dumb n blur person. well, easier said than done, rite? but i can n i will do it. =)

on a random note, i totally hate the conversion rate between here and kl. its like i go to the city almost everyday and i come home with nothing. so far i've only been buying groceries and like spending on food. the only material thing i've bought since i arrived is this super nice nike bagpack. for like $25. yesh. i know that ultimately sucks. i have completely no money to even buy like clothes and accessories. blah. i feel super freaking poor. i hate it. and i feel totally outdated. i haven't been watching any movie since i arrived here. the only movie ive caught so far is date movie. which is damn corny and lame. i think it seriously sucks to the ultimate. and it costed me like $8. thats like 24 ringgit? too much. pfft. i can't wait for june to come. when i will be able to go back to kl n shop until i drop. and i think i want to get a new phone. i think i'm the only person here who uses a colourless screen phone. super crappy. and everyone keeps telling me that phones are comparatively cheaper in kl. so yeah.

anyway, i think i need to go do my laundry. hehe. so yeah. i'll try to blog soon. hopefully, once i've got my internet connection all set up, i can blog more regularly. oh, and that's also if i don't get too much homework and all. lol. yeap yeap. me lurves and misses all you nuts back home.

i hate laundry.. =(

2006-02-18T22:00:00.000+08:00

so i've been here for about a week. actually, make that exactly one week. n i'm starting to get used to life here. although i still haven't started cooking. koi lin n i r gonna make sushi tomorrow nite. haha. oh, n i did my laundry. finally. for the very first time in my life. gosh, i hate it like mad. pfft. school started on the sixteenth. but lessons officially begin only in march. haha. two weeks of orientation. n i've got a camp on wednesday. some get to know each other thingy. lol. hopefully the place i'm going to wouldn't be too desolated. luckily, i've got some friends coming with me to the same camp. koi lin's in the same camp too. yay! so far, i've made a new click of friends. all of whom r from kl. the guys r damn lame n corny. they remind me of all the 5m idiots. gosh, i miss all u nuts like mad. yesh yesh. especially my beloved lim wen di n gan kok shen. haha. oh, n i miss my friends from outside 5m too. my darling yi sung n tzun tzin. n my lovely group of girl friends. not to mention amanda ng tse in. see, i still remember u. hehe. all i have left now is ng koi lin. haha. i just realize, we'll be spending like the next four to five years together. n we're currently suffering like mad here. but not for long. nah, scratch that. seeing as to how we're both damn blur, we'll definitely suffer for quite some time. haha. but we're trying our best. learning how to be independent n all. i'm sure we'll get better in no time. plus, we're having tons of fun in the process. . hehe. soon, we'll be damn professional at doing our laundry n cooking. lol.

a whole new world. blah.

2006-02-11T20:09:00.000+08:00

yeap yeap. so i am already in melbourne. the weather's quite nice. sunny n windy. omg, i swear everything was damn hectic. i only finished packing like five minutes before we left for the airport. not to mention, i ran out of credit for my handphone. and i couldn't reload cuz service was unavailable. so i was damn frustrated.

oh, n when i went to weigh my luggages at the airport, i wuz seven kgs overweight. haha. can u imagine that? so i had no choice but to transfer some of my files n notepads into the laptop carrier while leaving behind some of my yummy food. blah. oh, n i have to say a big thanks to jon yong for flying over with me on the same flight. i swear i would have been utterly lost without him. i almost left behind my laptop carrier at the check-in entrance thingy. luckily jon took it for me. haha. i owe u big time la. n while waiting to board, we got bored. thus we decided to take pics. hehe.

blah. the flight itself was horrible.. from the yucky food to the long hours of the flight to the silly movies shown to the inability for me to simply just fall asleep. so yeah, i haven't been sleeping that much the past few days.. so now i'm dead tired. pfft. n the games on the plane were damn retarded. can u imagine? there wasn't even that nice mario game. that game's a classic. can still remember how my bro n i would always play that game when we were younger while on the plane. memories. hehe. so was listening to jon's ipod since there wuz nothing else to do. n of all the songs, i like this certain one. its called leaving on a jet plane by chantel somebody. sorry, can't realli remember her name.

after that, went thru the immigration n the luggage collecting n the declaring of all my food. haha. luckily, nothing bad happened. so went over to my apartment. shiit. it's damn tiny la. i swear. like half the size of my room back in kl. the kitchen, toilet, living room, study room n bedroom all crammed up. i think i might shift to another accomodation. will check the other places. stress.

went to the city in the afternoon. it's damn near to my apartment. like five minutes walk. haha. love it there. the atmosphere is just damn nice. all the shopping centres n the throngs of people. haha. then went out to dinner with kea leng, her sis, her sister's boyfriend n another friend. ate at chinatown. nice food but quite pricey.

i think i shall be going to victoria market tomorrow with jon. oh, n koi lin's flying over tomorrow. yay! will blog soon when i get my net connection.

officially flying off in twenty hours..

2006-02-10T01:08:00.000+08:00

omg, i'll be flying off tonite.. shiit.. n i'm not even done packing all my stuff.. diee!! that's just so typical of me.. haha.. doing everything only at the last moment.. be it my studies or just any random thing.. hopefully, that'll change though.. anyway, i realli think that my luggages r gonna be overweight.. this sucks big time.. n instead of realli doing anything about it, i'm here eating gummy bears n blogging.. blah.. but come to think of it, i'm actually doing something.. i'm transferring stuff over from my big computer to my lil laptop.. yup yup.. so in a way, i'm not realli procrastinating n wasting my time.. uh-huh..

anyway, went out with some friends last nite.. or, u could say, a couple of hours ago.. hehe.. went for a realli early dinner at mv with dee, tzun tzin, yi sung n kok shen.. yeah.. at about four-ish?? they all came straight from college.. so yeah, we went to eat at chilli's.. where we ordered quite a lot of food.. but no one realli ate, with the exception of dee munching away on bits n pieces of the food.. haha.. it wuz fun.. we just sat there talking n reminiscing about the past.. yeap.. all the nostalgic n bittersweet memories.. not to mention laughing non-stop at all the hillarious stories.. oh, n taking countless of pictures.. hehe.. but i'm so not a cam-whore.. or at least i just simply refuse to accept that fact.. hmmz , tzun tzin left early.. the rest of us decided to kill time by going to the arcade n playing daytona.. gosh, i love that game.. it's like damn fun.. haha.. i got third in the first round cause this random guy, who wuz playing with us, kept crashing his car into mine.. blah.. but then i got first the second time we played.. haha.. in ur face, yi sung.. lol.. after yi sung n kok shen left, dee n i decided to watch fearless.. i would say it's quite a nice movie.. although we found it quite gruesome at certain parts.. especially the part where jet li broke some guy's hand.. u could realli see the bone sticking out.. eww.. we left mv around eight-ish.. sent dee home.. my mum n i got lost n somehow ended up in the city.. so we had to take this damn long way home.. blah..

btw, thanx dee for the lovely photo frame.. haha.. i realli like it.. =) not to mention, paying for my movie ticket.. haha.. n to the rest of the guys, thanx for coming out to meet me.. eventhough it wuz only for a few hours.. realli had fun.. gosh, i'm realli gonna miss all u nuts when i'm gonee.. will post the pics some other day.. feeling kinda tired.. what with sleeping around five last nite cause i wuz packing n going out the whole day.. but i can't sleep yet.. have to get back to my packing.. blah.. like jon yong said, thats what i get for procrastinating n doing everything only at the last moment.. somehow, i have to figure out how to pack everything without exceeding the limit of only thirty kg.. seriously impossible.. pfft..

hii. =)

2006-02-07T23:56:00.000+08:00

yesh yesh. my very own blog. finally. who would have thought, huh? lol. considering how much i dislike writting essays in school n all. but since i'm still on holiday n have plenty of time to kill, i decided i might as well try something new. plus it'll be cool to have my own lil corner where i can just pour out whatever my heart desires. hehe. hopefully, i dont get too bored of it n start ignoring my blog.

as most of u ppl know, i will be leaving for melbourne soon. yesh. in fact, i shall be flying off on friday. who would have thought i'll be leaving so soon. i mean, if u ask me a year or even six months ago where i'll be going after high school, i would have most probably said taylors or somewhere in kl. but yeah, this is a pretty much last minute decision. made only a few weeks before school ended. it seems quite freaky how fast time flies. one moment i'm still in form one n the next moment i'm already finished with high school. yesh, five years gone in a wink. i still can't believe i'm actually leaving in three days. it all seems so surreal.

on one hand, im quite excited about it. staying in a new country, making new friends n gaining new experiences. but on the other hand, i can't help but dread it. what with having to adapt to new surroundings n leaving behind old friends n family. basically just walking away from everything familiar n starting afresh. not to forget i'll have to be super independent. everyone says that i'll most probably die within a few weeks of staying there seeing as to how i can't cook for nuts n do my own laundry. plus the tiny fact that im a little blur at times. n to a certain extend, i think thats true. but i shall learn to adapt n soon i will be like super good at all those stuff. i hope.

so anyway, i will be flying off with jon yong. yesh. we are going to be new best friends. haha. he's gonna be like my 7-11. available 24/7 in case i need help with anything or get lonely or whatever. i hope i dont get too lost there. omg, just thinking bout it, i'm seriously so thankful that i have jon flying out with me. or else i will definitely get lost at the airport. i hope he knows where to collect the luggages n all those other stuff ppl do at the airport. cause i sure as hell know nuts bout it. hehe.

oh, n kea leng will be taking a bus over to the city just to meet me n bring me around. basically, to help me settle down. she will be my tour guide n help me get things done. like opening a bank account, shopping for stuff n getting my new cell phone. yesh. n she shall be staying over at my apartment for one night. yay! can't wait. it'll be fun. =) what with endless gossip sessions n maybe a midnight movie marathon. just like we used to do at koi lin's lovely mansion. blah.

n koi lin shall be flying over two days after me. with her parents. she'll be staying in the same building as me. arrow on swanston. that's the name of the place where we're gonna stay. it's like right smack in the middle of everything. at least that's what everyone says. i swear koi lin's going to bring like damn alot of stuff. like twice the amount of stuff i'll be bringing over. that's just so unfair. pfft. n all because she'll be using part of her parent's luggage space. nvm, i shall just have to borrow off her. hehe.

kevin's gone to perth. gosh, i can't believe he just left like that. he didn't even say bye n all. it was just so random. n we were suppose to meet up before i leave. blah. now we wouldn't be able to see each other till dec. i think. i think he's planning to come back in april. but i won't be coming back till maybe june. pfft. n he still owes me my oc season three. i wanted to bring it to melbourne. hopefully he's told his maid to find it n i can get it back before friday.

oh, wow. i just realized i've been rambling crap for the past hour or so. hehe. i shall continue some other time. it's getting kinda late. not that it matters. seeing as i don't have to wake up super early for college or whatever. hehe. but i do need to do last minute shopping. sigh. so much more stuff to do n so little time left. i hope i get to do everything before i leave. i still have to finish watching all the random dvds n read all the books so that i can return them back before leaving. blah.
