and of course, the most important point..

10. SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH HIM

All right. I'm really excited for the trip. I know I will not be able to complete the task, but I'll try to request.. haha :P I know this 2 weeks will pass damn slowly because I'm excited. Time, its time for you to fly!

Hellos!

Another week has passed, it's Tuesday already. Time flies so quickly and I'll be in Australia in 15 days time. A sneak preview of my excitement:



That was my booking made online. Very soon k baby :)

Warning: This is going to be a totally random post.

I've sent out a lot of resumes already. Its starting to tire me out. I feel drained by not receiving replies from those companies, I feel drained by looking at those damn advertisments. So sick, SO SICK. But I know that's parts and parcel of life la, bo bian! I feel blessed to be able to find a job at BBSS. Although the work load was crazy during school term, and everyone treat you like a sai gang warrior, I really like to work in a school environment. Its really nice to work with students. Or at least that is what I feel for now. So I was really thinking of just applying to NIE straight since I really like it and I know I will. But at the back of my mind I would really want to work in the industry first because I feel that I need to gain some experience outside. I was just thinking issit because I don't sound conviencing enough during my interviews and that's why they didn't shortlist me? In any case, I really want that job at Whitford, I really do. I will do my best on Friday.

Well, plans for the rest of the year. Here it goes..

I still cannot believe that its November already. In fact, its already mid November. 6 more weeks to the end of the year. How does that sound? CRAZY. So, I'll still be going to as many interviews as I can, and if the Whitford one falls through, I am applying for NIE. Meanwhile, I will still work as a TA, and accept Mdm Yaw's invitation to be a RT from Jan to Apr. But, pls employ meeee! I'll be an asset to your company! hahaha.

So I'll be travelling to Brissy from 3rd Dec to 11th Dec. I hope that was a right choice. I just feel that I had to go. I'm glad that I still can hold on to this job. Really appreciate Stella for giving me the freedom.

Oh there's something that I would like to talk about and that is the trip to Malaysia with my parents and Ah Seng Uncle and family. Yes the car ride wasn't the most fantastic one, but I do appreciate my Dad for taking time off to go to Malaysia with us, as promised. We went to have the usual baby lobster we used to have, but it was not as fantastic anymore. I suspect we went to the wrong restaurant, but its ok, is the process that counts.

Some pictures taken on that day.





All right, its taking a long time to load pictures. Lazy la.

Another random thing that I would like to share is about this song sang by Gu Ju Ji.

Qing ge wangi is a 12 minutes song that combines phrases from different songs. Check out the MV. I thought it was damn cool and very nice! Emo, it is. Do check it out if you have time.

One last thing that I want to talk about today. That is regarding the show that I am watching now. Guang Yin De Gu Shi.



Yes that title is not eye catching at all. But let me tell you, it is a damn nice show. It is not a ou xiang ju, more of a family show, but i thought it was very well written and filmed. The casts chosen were fantastic. I am so in love with Huang Teng Hao now. :) I'll talk more about it after I finish the whole series.

All right. Enough of random-ness. Shall end here. Till then..

Hellos!

It was shown that I didn't update for 12 weeks already, and that is 3 months! All right, quite accurate! I've been back for almost 3 months, and I felt like I have been back for a long time!

All right! Today's post will be a little emo; I'm sorry but I don't mean to make this space an emo site where I will only have unhappy memories, but I really want to rant them out because I know I shouldn't be complaining to my friends and the advises / comments will always be the same.

I sought Chin Hong's advice - I smsed her. Yes I do agree with him that I probably should talk to her because it will be unfair for her if I keep on "talk bad behind her". So I did it. I don't know if my tone was all right. Ok you cannot hear one's tone from the sms, but I thought the words were all right.

Before I start, pls take note of the spelling errors of hers.. they irritate me.. they seriously do..

So it stated like this..

Me: hey are you v busy?
Her: when you need me? gee.. (which is suppose to be hee la)
Me: I think its ok
Her: huh? he
Me: I was just thinking what's wrong with us.. but i think i don't want ot know alr.. be cos i don't really see the point to
Her: huh? there's nothing wrong.. but i'm just very busy.. was taking up part time courses.. i know has been missing out on the meetings.. just hope you can underpane..

All right, I think i should translate the last sms a bit..
"huh? there's nothing wrong.. but i'm just very busy.. i'm taking part time courses now.. i know i have been missing out on the meetings.. just hope you can understand.."

That's all. You know what? That's it you know. THAT'S IT! Its a combination of emotions: sad, disappointed, angry

Its amazing how she thought that "THERE IS NO PROBLEM" between us. Don't you find that its a joke? Sigh.. I'm very irritated by the typos, because I don't feel the sincerity at all. I know there will be some typos here and there everytime we send sms. But here I am trying to talk something serious to you, and there you are giving me that "ai ya nth one leh.. i don't give a damn" feeling. And she said I don't understand. Ouch, that hurts.

Oh wells, I promise myself that I am not going to talk about this issue ever again after today. I don't mind if Meiying and Chunyu were to call her for our meetings, its ok with me. I will talk to her, just that I don't know how fake I will be. I've decided to let it go completely. No, I am NOT going to take the initiative AGAIN. No.

Ok. Enough of ranting. End of ranting.

Hellos!!

Apologies for the late entry. So MUCH things had happened over the past month, and I will try to remember them, starting from the arrival of my family.

My family arrived in Brisbane on 22 July 2009. To be honest, I didn't have much anticipation to their arrival because I know I am going home very soon. And that also marks the day when I somehow shift out of our lovely nest at Sandford street. But anyways, after picking them up from the airport, we checked into our serviced apartment in the city. Quest apartments are really nice and it did not disappoint me at all. The price is reasonable and the location is superb (being in the city, and therefore near the casino). 

Graduation day was supposed to be an emotional day because it marks the end of my 2 years in UQ. I am really glad that my family and friends were present to witness the achievement I have had over the 2 years. Although there is still a little disappointment, well at least for me, that day still marks my last day in UQ. The 2 years in UQ was really insightful and I really learnt lots and lots of things. Be it hard skills or soft skills, I believe I have definately changed, to the good sense hopefully.

The touring around Brisbane continues and Dad left for Singapore on 27 July 2009, while we continued our journey to Cairns on 28 July. The experience in Cairns was so-so because of the RAIN. It was really quite saddening because it rained the whole time we were there. Be it drizzle or heavy rain, it was wet the whole time. The most interesting I did in Cairns was being on the hot air balloon. It was a really once in a lifetime experience! Of course I will do it again if I happen to go to countries where hot air balloon is one of their attractions and of course, if I have money in my pocket. haha. Its not cheap to be on the hot air balloon but the experience was awesome.

We moved on to sydney for another 6 nights after that. Being there for the third time, the trip there wasn't as great as the first 2 times. Probably because of the different people I am travelling with as well. And the last factor I think is because we are there for too long - 6 nights! I think Sydney is really too busy for Australia. haha. In the sense that I am really not used to it because its so busy and packed with people all the time. I don't know how am I going to adapt when I get back to Singapore, but I should think I'll do fine because I've already set my mind that Singapore is always so crowded. Just say that I just cannot accept the fact that there are so many people in one of the cities in Australia. haha. But its a pretty good experience, that I had been in the city that has the most and least people in Australia.

I came back to Brisbane on 5 August 2009. I took a train home from the airport because I wanted to experience how is it like. After being here for 2 years, I have to admit that I have only took the train once, which was on ekka day during my first year of stay. That wss the reason why I wanted to take train back from the airport. The experience was good, I was able to find the platform from Central station, but it took me about 1.5hrs to reach home. But that's fine, I have the time. haha. Bernard was in Tokyo for conference, so there was only Chels and me at home. It was quite weird initially, but as days go by, the experience staying with someone I am not shou and younger with me was not too bad after all.

Bernard finally came back on 11 August 2009 morning, the day which I've waited with much anticipation. We both know that we don't have much time left before THE DAY comes, and so we have been spending quite a lot of time together. He surprised me with a T&co ring, which I didn't really expect. He brought me to engrave yesterday, and I'm totally in love with the ring :)

Oh wells, its my last 28 hours in Brisbane, and I should really spend that wisely. On a side note, I was packing my stuff yesterday and I nearly went crazy! roar! I hope I will be able to stuff everything in the luggage and its not overweight!!

All right! I should end here! Till then..

Hellos!

Just thought I ought to mention something before I end the post of the day. No names will be mentioned in this post. Let your imagination run wild!

I was driving under the supervision of a friend (Mr A) sometime last week when we had a little chat in the car. It occurred to me that Mr A actually likes (ok maybe a little) this friend (Miss B) of ours, but he didn't dare to do anything because he wants to keep it at low profile and he wanted to take his time. One factor that was stopping him was about Miss B's past. Apparently, Miss B claimed that she had a fling with another friend of ours (Mr C) last time and this is troubling Mr A because Mr C used to tell Mr A that there is nothing going on between he and Miss B.

Mr A felt very sad because he was wondering why must Mr C bluff him, and he was really upset about it. Another thing is that Mr A (kind of) mind the past between Miss B and Mr C, which I have already consoled him and told him there is no point harping over the past. At that point of time, I did not try to think and investigate who exactly is Mr C.

One fine night, I was talking to another common friend of ours (Miss D) (wah biang too many common friends is like dat la!). From our conversation, I found out who the hell Mr C was and I was really shocked and disappointed at the same time. I always respected Mr C and thought that he will not betray his girlfriend by having a fling or whatever you call here. I felt really sad for his girlfriend, who is still in the dark i guess. But oh wells, guys are bastard anyway, right?

All right. Miss D and me pact to keep this hush hush as it is not very good for people to know. So in conclusion, we have too many common friends and news travel damn fast!

All right! I am ending hereeee! Good night world!

Big helloos!!

My apologies for the lack of updates. Life has been pretty busy for the past few weeks and I seem to have not rest enough after I came back from Tasmania.

Let's talk about my holidays first.

Our holiday lasted for 12D11N, whereby 4 nights were spent at sydney and the rest in tasmania. It was a pretty nice holiday, a short (ok not that short) getaway from the fake winter in brisbane. Nothing much to say about sydney since I've been there last year and things were pretty much the same, just that I really feel that there are A LOT of people there and life is really hectic. Its so Singapore there, where i can feel that everyone is rushing and walking so quickly, congested traffic and human! I would say Brisbane is quite well balanced in this extent, with not as many people, but not as little people, which brings up to my next topic on the experience in tasmania.

We landed our feets in Hobart airport on 10/07 morning and was greeted with an ultra small airport (I am serious -  they only have one baggage belt, and that is their international and domestic airport). We felt the cold air gushing into our faces as we walked out of the airport door. It was really cold. We managed to find our way to our nice accomodation in the heart of Hobart city, and went on to walk around the city after dropping our bags. The city is really small, I would say about half of Queens st. I am serious. There are not many people around, and I can feel that it was really quiet and peaceful (maybe cos of the drastic change from syd to hobart). It was just too quiet to my liking. haha. Visited the cadbury chocolate factory and cascade brewery which I found them really interesting. Back to the city, it was already evening time and we roamed around to look for food. We couldn't really understand why are the streets so quiet on a friday night and no shops are open. I can hardly see a 7-11 store around. We went to the Salamanca market the next morning and thought that was pretty nice. Met a few friends there, and ai ling was telling me that Hobart is civilisation compared to other parts of tasmania. It did freaked me out a little to be honest. haha. So anyways, we went to port arthur the day after and stayed there for a night. It was a beautiful place and the experience there was good. We drove to Launceston (2nd biggest city in tas) after that and managed to find our accomodation. Cradle mountain was on our list and we went there the next day. It was SERIOUSLY cold up there but the views were just fantastic. I think we went to most of the places that people should go when they visit tasmania and I must say we are really lucky to stay in nice and cheap places throughout our trip! =) We totally enjoyed this trip and was quite sad when we were on the plane from Launceston to Brisbabne. haha.

Oh wells, end of that holiday and another one coming up. Seriously, I am quite tired and just want to stay at home and sleep. haha. I haven't been sleeping much these days cos there are just so many things to do. Sometimes I just need a good rest! haha. Soon i hope!

My family will be boarding the plane in 1.5hrs time and I will be seeing them tomorrow! Didn't really feel excited about it actually. Probably because I have just seen them during CNY. But I really do hope we can follow the plans and itinerary well!!

Oks, I shall end here tonite! I will be going cairns and sydney and will be back on the 5th! sooo till then........!

Hellos!

Apologies! I reckon I should leave some footprints here before I set off to my holidays in Sydney, Hobart and Launcenston tomorrow. I will be back on 17th!

Was busy booking air tics, accommodation etc for the past few days, and I'm finally done with everything. My family will be here on 22nd Jul and dad's going back to sg on 28th. The itinerary is pretty much done, and the rest of us will be flying off to cairns on 28th. We will be going to Sydney on 31st Jul and hope everyone won't be too tired!

Finally went to red cliff for dinner that day. Dinner was good, company was great! Was toying with the idea if I should bring my family there because I don't know if its worth the drive. Shall KIV that! We rented a 4WD and went to straddie for 3D2N. All I can say about the trip is - AWESOME! I love the place! and the drive on the beach, the dolphins at night! everything! 5 star! =D Pictures are on facebk!

All right! I don't know what else to write. Will update after I come back from the holidays. In the meantime, miss me!

I do dread as the days are coming closer, the thought that you will not be the last person I see before sleeping and the first person to see when I open my eyes every morning. But I know this day will have to come, and I will just enjoy the little holiday that belongs to the both of us first. 

Sometimes there are many things that I know and I didn't want to talk about it because I know I am not supposed to know. Putting them at the back of my mind will solve the problem, I hope. I just want to love you everyday and enjoy the love from you.

Ok! Time to sleep! Miss everyone! =D

Hellos!

Yes I do feel the sudden urge to update now because the feel is so right. I am going to share about the show that I have recently completed - bai quan nu wang.

This is a 21 episode serial, with ruan jing tian as the male lead and "i don't know what is the girl's name" as the female lead. The storyline is about jie di lian (which I don't know what issit called in English, or is there a term for that?" Well anyways, I find that it is just so amazing how people meet each other. I really do believe that its fate.

Ruan Jing Tian (lu ca si) is a "da gong zai" , who has a website known as (da gong da ren). He works any cha pa lang jobs; from teaching swimming, become a plumber, becoming a santa claus, to making fun of people. Wherever there is money, he will take the job. The girl (shan wu shuang), on the other hand, is a reporter of a magazine. She is a career minded woman and super garang.

They met on a Christmas night, and it was really interesting how people meet. Oh wells, I will not go into great details for that. So one fine day, she realised he is actually 8 years younger than her. And due to some things happened along the way, the cheif of the company hired lu ca si as the PA of wu shuang and they started working together. After looking through his resume, she then realised he is actually a drop out student from the medical school. (and this shows how smart he acutally is)

So feelings slowly developed as the two of them work together and be sweet to each other. A little backgound on their previous love life: lu ca si has a ex girlfriend who died in an accident during surfing. He blamed himself for her death because they quarreled before that and she went to surf on her on despite her asthma attack. He still likes her a lot. Wu shuang had a boyfriend who left her 6 years ago and did not appear on their supposedly wedding day. She still likes him a lot.

Hellos all!

I've decided to come back to update my little space here. A lot of things had happened after 5th June, which I would not want to go into much details, but I've got something to share regarding the end of my uni life.

I went back to school to collect my unofficial result slip for my year spent in the Whittaker group. It was raining heavily and I went to the Chemistry building with much anticipation. I gave my student card to the person at the counter and I received an A4 envelope which has my name, Xiaoying CHUA. It was pretty thick; I thought what will be in there. The first thing that appeared was this:



19 June 2009

All right, that was it. I read with dismay regarding my marks for the coursework, which is known as the special topics. I've got a 5 for that!!! WTF? Its really quite saddening to see that because I really had some confident in that. And I highly think is the written report that pulled me down. hais. Its so disheartening.

But oh wells, what can I do? Its all over! This slip of paper marks the end of my uni life in Australia, and its time to face the reality world. There are a lot to say to conclude my 2 years in Australia, and this is definately not the time. I will do it soon, when I have the time. So till then, I'll just be updating my life, as a "person who has graduated and having holidays" now. =)
 

Apologies! I will be back after 5th June!

Hellos!

It has been a week that I haven't updated and it's Friday again! Its drawing nearer and nearer to 3rd June. I'll be free very soon, very very soon. But often, as the days get closer, it seems slower.

Well anyways, I haven't update for so long, and I don't know where should I start with. I am currently still working on my thesis and I haven't stop my experiment yet. I am very irritated by Ken cos he keep asking me when will I be done and he is hinting me to give him my glasswares. As much as I would like to give away my glasswares, I feel really irritated when you pester me every time you see me. Its really very irritating!  I hope I can finish my lab work by next week, but I will have to continue the degradation test till the very end. Hope everything will be fine!

I've been feeling unwell for the past few days, cough runny nose blocked nose bla. Symptoms of swine flu. haha. But I think I don't have fever la. heh. I am feeling a much better today. Hope will be fine soon! Last weekend was good! I had a little time of my own last Saturday afternoon and it was spent baking while he was doing his assignment in this room. I baked apple pies and some cookies as we were going to mitre on Sunday for a little tea party. So I decided to bake some apple pie and brought it along. It was pretty good, even Ian says so. haha. We watched Marley and Me online that night but it got stuck and we didn't manage to finish it and left it to load till the next day. We still did not manage to finish the whole movie cos somehow the streaming thing got stuck and we couldn't continue. sian.

So Sunday was basically spent at mitre. We watched about 3 movies i think. I forgot the title of the first one, the 2nd one was Land before time (so cute la!) and the 3rd one was fast and furious part 1. I had quite a good time there! So yea, thats weekend!

I forgot what did I do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.. haha. I was suppose to recharge my mobile on Wednesday but I forgot and tada! 50 bucks of credits eaten up. I am so bloody pissed off with myself. Why didn't i remember?! rawr! Well anways, I remember chatting with Prema on MSN on dunno Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon and I am really really glad to see that my cadets have grown up and leading a very good life (but that also shows that I am old.. pfft). Anyways, I understand that she is waiting for her uni admission in August and is working some temp job now. I asked her if she is still scared to talk to me and that instant replied appeared in front of my eyes again. "YES". haha. I somehow don't remember why the hell is she so scared of me, but she reminded me that I've once asked her to shut up as she was talking in the squad and I was breifing the squad or unit with something. I then realised that I have long lost that side of me, and I don't know where has it gone to. I was the intimidating, kao bei, fierce, whatever name you can think of ma'am back then. I don't know what made me lose that side of me, but I thought it'll be good if I can have a little of it back. haha.

Well that aside, I had a lecture at 9am with Kris this morning and 12.30pm with Kevin. The lecture in the morning was all right. I've heard most of the thing already as he has introduced what he has done during group meeting some time back. Kevin's lecture is just boring shit and I really really felt like sleeping. It was really BORING!

I am finishing Speech of Silence and I think I'll watch "bag too heavy" after that cos sis said it was quite nice. haha. And at the mean time, thesis thesis and thesis! RAWR!

All right, off for the weekend! =)

Hellos!

Its Thursday again! How time flies!

It has been a long time since I reached school at 9am. I couldn't wake up this morning! haha. Actually I think I didn't have to come to school today since I am not doing any experiment but there's group meeting at 11 am today. In the end, the group meeting was cancelled for god knows what reason. I feel so cheated. haha. But in the end I just stayed in school and TRY to do my thesis here and there. Collected most of the data from ya-mi and gotta edit some stuff. And I'm still in school now. I think I should be going back soon. Its not productive at all here lor! Stupid dumb dumb one, keep on facebook, chat, bla bla. Ok its not as though I didn't do it at home, but seems like when I'm at home I spend less time on those sites cos I do them really quickly. In office, I'll have to switch to other windows when people walk past. I hate my table! So open, everyone can see what I am doing!

Well anways, we sent the girl for check up yesterday and apparently there is something wrong. It is too technical and I don't want to explain here. The guy called this morning and said he didn't want the car anymore. Fine. I understand. I feel bad about that dent there, I will repair it if he allows me to. Let's hope for the best.

All right! I want to upload the first picture I took after the hair cut. I was acutally trying those boots at big W underwood because we were waiting for the girl to be ready. The mirror was too small so he took a picture of it. And I bought them. I can't resist!


awww.. so cute! *pukes*

hahaha. All right! Back to work! pfft.

Hellos!

I was reading Ian's blog and I really think that all his entries are so meaningful. This one caught my attention and I thought I should share this.

He was talking about Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. This is a book which I think most people have heard it before. Wee Nie bought me "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, happy forever" before I came back to Brissy this semester. I have read through it briefly, and I thought they really made us understand what are men and women thinking when they are looking at the same thing. Of course you cannot expect them to be thinking the same way and react the same way. This is why God made men and women differently.

I'll take his scenarios for example. This is an example of why misunderstanding happens.

(from swimmingmonk.blogspot.com)
SCENARIO 1:

Ah Beng and Ah Lian (In the book its Tom and Jane, but lets do it the Singlish style) were driving to Ah Seng's house for a party. Ah Beng obviously lost his way when he was circling Choa Chu Kang for 20 minutes. Ah Lian, being a little annoyed and never read the book "Ta Por (Men) come from Mars, Cha Bor (Women) come from Lenus (Venus)", told Ah Beng, "Eh, call Ah Seng la, dunno how to go to his house just call la, paisei/malu (embarrass) for what?" Ah Beng kept quiet and continued to drive. They eventually reached Ah Seng's house, but Ah Beng Tiam Tiam (was quiet) throughout the party and remained silent even when they reach home.

To Ah Lian, this was what she meant, "Daling ah, I lub (love) you deep deep (very much) and can see you need some help, call your friend then we will get there faster (earlier), then you don't have to be angry about getting lost". To Ah Beng, this was what she said, "Tupid (stupid), you stay in Choa Chu Kang still can get lost, just call Ah Seng lah, good for nothing (useless)".

Isn't it so true? Think about it.

Check out the next scenario.

SCENARIO 2:

Nurul just returned from work, and had a shitty day and saw her husband Afik. She sits Afik down to tell her about her day.
Nurul, "Sayang, today very tired, I got so much work to do and no time for myself."
Afik," Then quit your job la babe, I'm earning enough what, find something you like instead."
Nurul, "Aiya, I do like my job, just that they keep changing their minds last minute on little things."
Afik,"Then do what you can do lah, don't have to listen to them."
Nurul, "I did that already, sigh... alamak, forget to call macik (aunty) today, she not feeling well."
Afik, "Don't worry, she'll understand that you didn't call."
Nurul, "But I should, I am so close to her."
Afik, "Aiya you scared what, see lah, always so negative, no wonder you always so unhappy."
Nurul: "I am not always unhappy ok!? You just don't listen to me!"
Afik, "What you talking? I'm sitting next to you listening and answering you what..."
Nurul,"Sigh, forget it."

Yes we do not need advices all the time. All we need is someone to listen and that is enough. Personally I get really annoyed when guys start to put in their suggestions when I am in the "shut up and just listen mode".

I should get baby to read Ian's blog.. hahaha =P

All right! Will update soooon! =)

Hellos!

This "beautifully imperfect" thing came across my facebook page while I was just randomly surfing and I went in to take a look because that page seems to be very active. I then found out that its actually a contest for couples to put up comments to their partners, how imperfect their partner is of course. The post with the most number of votes will win the contest. Some are really really touching, I just hope they will be together forever. I think the idea came by the new advertisment on TV, whereby the setting is at a funeral and the wife went onto the stage to make a speech about her late husband. I thought that advertisment was quite nice and touching and it surely made people think and cherish their partners more.

I would probably leave a little paragragh for my beautifully imperfect partner, although he won't see it.

The journey for us wasn't smooth at all that I thought we would never be together. We met each other on 9 July 2007, at the little dining area of Emmanual College. First impression of him: hm, another Singaporean. Strange things happened and fate brought us to the little unit at Raven Street. Feelings slowly developed in that short 4 months and I know I was in trouble. I don't know what he was thinking and I don't know if he feels the same way as I do. Soon, the summer holidays came and we really do enjoy each other's company in Singapore. I was not looking forward to go back to Australia to start the semester because I know he will not be in the house anymore. Many things happened along the way and we got back to stay together again. People around us have been guessing and asking if we were together; but he put me in the grey region for nine months. I told myself I shouldn't waste more time on this guy anymore, its time to move on.

But the more I try to ignore, the more it hurts. I find that I do not understand myself anymore, I lost myself. I don't know what to do when "that" disaster hit me. I ignored. And came the day when he has to go back to Singapore for summer holidays while I continue to be in Australia to do my project. The feeling wasn't good at all. The thought of not seeing him suck. But the frequent calls and web camm made me feel special and wanted. Even though I was alone here, I felt happy. He made me feel important. The first meet up in Singapore in Janaury 2009 was great! The feeling of seeing him again is so good, too good.

We part and we meet. Each parting is so sad, and tears will be lost. But he is always there to tell me that everything will be fine, and we'll get to see each other again. I am always looking forward to the little hugs and cuddles at the end of my draining day in school. And him putting me to bed every night; it just feels so great to have him around. I love every single part of him, including his bad temper, his "lo so-ness", his affinity to steal my blanket everyday, his BIG actions when he was sleeping, and the list goes on and on.

I love you, baby.

Oks that's more than a paragraph. hahaha. Back to thesis again! pfft.

Hellos!

Today marks the last day of the long weekend! boohoo. But I enjoyed my weekend! =)

He went to reiji on Friday night and I stayed at home. I thought I would be fine with the idea. I really thought its fine. But I did feel a little uncomfortable with the thought of it as the time gets nearer. I sensed danger, but I really do trust him. Anyways, he came back earlier than his friends, which made me feel a little an wei. =)

Well anyways, that aside. We had a good time at Movie World on Saturday although the Superman ride was not open. That was to our disappointment when we saw the sign at the entrance. How dumb dumb of us! DIdn't check which rides will be in maintenance before making our way there. We went to west end to grab our breakfast and reached GC at about 10.45 am. Our first ride of the day was the batman space shot, which was great! I quite liked that. I loved the Shrek 4D animation! It was really nice! Movie World is such a nice place! I love all the cute stuff and soft toys in all the shops! =D It just makes me so happy there. heh. We bought a Shrek cup and I'm loving it =)

We went to West End for dinner because the Singapura at Milton has closed down. So we went to search for the pho shop we went to one year ago with the raven CC people. We managed to find it due to my godly memory and directions! hahaha. We saw an indonesian restaurant just next to it and swear that we'll go back there to try the food! We slept kinda early that night cos we had a long day and didn't really sleep much the previous night!

Woke up at about 9.30 am on Sunday and headed to Sunnybanks for dim sum! The long awaited dim sum meal! I have been whining and making a lot of noise to go to and eat dim sum! hahaha. Walked around Sunnybanks plaza and we went back to park our car at toowong before taking a ferry down to the city to cut hair. Yes I have finally cut my hair short! Just like what i used to have in the past. I have yet to take any pictures with it, but I'll do it soon! hahaha. I quite like it la. Its not too bad! =)

Didn't do anything much except for some thesis today. Ar, I'm tired. haha. Called mum to talk for a while just now cos she wasn't free. And I think I should finish what i want to finish tonight! haha. Ok, I'm ending here! Update soooon!

Hello!

Its FRIDAY!! *screams* 

Another week has just passed like this. It was another draining week, and I am really tired. Lan was just talking to me just now, "ni hao xin ku ar". In the eyes of other people, I am always working hard and doing a lot of things. In the eyes of the supervisor, I am not doing enough. WTF?! Life's a bitch, live with it.

Its Labour Day in Singapore today and most of my friends are having a long weekend ahaead. We have it in Australia too; the Labour Day in Brisbane is 4th May, which is next Monday. I am toying with the idea if I should come back to school, but I really hope I can try to put in more words for my thesis.

The week was fairly all right. We went to watch xmen on Wednesday cos it was the opening. The show was good. Full house once again, as expected. Wednesday was also ms's birthday! I am not sure how did she celebrate her bday, since mum is not in Singapore. Hope she had a great time! Somehting else happened on Wednesday! (wah come to think of it.. seems like wednesday is the most happening day of the week.. haha). There was an accident in the lab on Wednesday and Ken was injured. It was pretty scary. It happened too fast that we can't exactly react. I was in the GPC room when everything was just fine. I went to collect my print out at the printer outside when we heard a loud pop. It was really loud and everyone outside (including me) was wondering what happened. I went back into the lab only to see Ken washing up at the sink area. I thought it was something minor. There were already some people crowding around him and I asked Qian Hui what the hell happened cos she was just beside him. She said she don't know too and she said the pop was really loud. Ken turned around and I saw a lot of blood on his lab coat! Apparently, the glass broke into pieces cos the pressure of something was too high and the glass fragments actually cut him quite badly. He was sent to the hospital cos of the cuts on his hands and stomach. I talked to him the next day and he said is cos he was looking for an adaptor and he wants to do things quick and thus resulted the accident. This once again reminds me that safety cannot be compromised. Working in the lab is so dangerous and all aspects of safety must be taken care off. hais. And once again, I am pretty sure that I don't want to stay in this line anymore. In any case, SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT!

I had a sudden craving for PPC yesterday and I asked baby if he wants to go indooroo after school. I mean my school. haha. He didn't go for lessons (again) yesterday cos he didn't see the point to. I hope he'll do well this semester. So far so good! =) Anyways, the PPC at indooroo disappoint me because it wasn't cold! angry. But the taste was quite nice la. So give it to them. I bought lonely planet Australia cos I really have the intention to travel around before going back. I am going to yan jiu the book tonite while he goes reiji! Let's find out what are the places that we have yet to explore and is worth exploring!

Today's a tiring day. Really drained. Reached school and did experiment and rushed to lecture at Chemistry building. The lecture was all right, but I thought it would end at 11am. For a moment, I was happy that I can skip that stupid seminar. Who knows it ended so early and Andrew already saw me when I came back to offce at about 10.15am. So bo bian, I went to the seminar downstairs which is another one hour. Came back and did experiment again and had lunch at 1.30pm. I was already drained by then! What a lousy staminar! haha. But the office is so quiet today! The people went to have lunch at Breakfast Creek Hotel with the speaker and Ken they all went for lunch else where. I am busy today so I didn't go with them. He said we'll have lunch tgt when I am done with my Honours, and I hope he keep up to his words! haha. =)

The weather is getting real cold these days. Everyone said that winter came early this year, and I really think the weather is spoilt. haha. It's so bloody cold in the morning that I switch on the heater. I think its gonna be colder and colder.... so its time to show all the jackets! haha

I've finished watching The Seventh Day sometime in Tuesday I think. The show's nice, just like Under the Canopy of Love. I love the story line and the casts. I have started on "Tian Yan Mi Yu", which I hope to finish it soon. Its quite nice, and I'm only at episode 2 now. Its about dubbing; the people dub flims and its really quite interesting. haha. mysoju has a lot of HK dramas too! So happy =D cos it loads quickly and the quality is not too bad ^^

All right! Shall finish here. I read Ian's post on "character development" and stuff like that. I thought I should share my views too. I might probably do it soon when I have the feel. haha. His entries are really inspirational and I am enjoying them. Thank you ian =) (ok not like he can see)

Till then, take care!

Oh by the way, swine flu is getting really serious now. Hope everyone will take care of themselves and hope it doesn't get into Singapore and Australia. It will hit the people and economy badly!!

Hellos!

I had a good weekend but as usual, it passes too quickly! It has been a long time since I didn't come back to school on a weekend, and I did it last week! haha. Nothing to be proud of, this just means that I am not working hard enough. haha. But I've been going to school so early everyday last week, so it acts as a compensation. hahaha.

We went to mitre for dinner on Friday night because he invited us over for steamboat. I LOVE STEAMBOAT! Dinner was great, and of course the company was great. The usual people were there, as well as other people who joined us in the byron bay trip was there too. Jennifer, Xiao Hui, Yue Ying and the 3 from IH. We played MJ after that, and it has been a long time since I won some money. Its really a good strategic for not sharing. We'll always lose when we share! pfft. I won 7 bucks and he lost 1 buck. Total net won = $6 =)

The plan to go movie world was as per normal. I swear I checked on the website and it says open everyday except Christmas day and I didn't see the opening hours for ANZAC day. We went there in the morning at about 10.30am and guess what! The park will only be opened at 1.30pm!! That's due to ANZAC day and they have some regulations to follow. According to the staff, everywhere else will be like this too! Like shopping centres and other theme parks. It really sucks. The weather was sooo good! We went back home in the end and decide to go this week.

We went to cyber city for KTV that night for compensation. haha. It has been such a long time since I stepped into KTV; I was so sian of KTV when I went back to Singapore because I went 3 times in my one month of stay then, which is practically 1 session per week! Didn't have much feel for KTV at first but it came after the first song. haha. Well, we have had a great time =)

Sunday was pretty much a zhou bo day and we did a little sports at about 3+ in the afternoon with mitre and 5th ave. We played captain's ball at the guyatt park field and I tell u.... its totally shag! We were so tired after a while but I must say its really fun! My muscles are aching now! But I really like captain's ball a lot =)

And then comes today, whereby I can't wake up in the morning and came to school at only 8+am. Had meeting with Andrew and still working on my results. David's using the mould and I will have to ask him when will he be done. I am going home soon to compute my data and all, so that I can try to send to Andrew by Wednesday.

All right, that's all folks! Will update sooon!!

Happy 2nd month-sary baby! I love you =)

Hellos!

The weather has slowly turned cold, no more sleeveless and more jackets! There is one main problem: I CAN'T WAKE UP EVERYDAY! It sucks! But one good thing is I don't have to prepare exams in the cold weather, because it makes one sleepy and cannot concentrate! I think that is the main reason why I didn't do as well for my last semester; blame it on the weather! haha

Nothing much has been happening throughout the week, because I am too tired to do anything. haha. I've been in school early in the morning everyday and is slogging hard for more results. I really hope things will turn out fine, hopefully! We finished zhu fu de jia qi alr! Its such a nice show. haha. It has been quite sometime since I watched a drama that is so light hearted and funny. I love this genre! =)

Its ANZAC day this Saturday. But we won't get to enjoy the public holiday since it falls on a Saturday. What a pity! I think shops will not be open too. We are planning to go Movie World on Saturday since we have the pass, but I'm not sure if there will be a lot of people or will it be opened. Shall check the website later. If we have to queue for a long time for the rides, it'll be very sian!

All right, back to work! boo! I still haven't upload the pictures from my phone to the computer. Lazy lazy lazy! zz.

=)

Hellos!

I accidentally came across this song when I was surfing the imeem site. A lot of memories came flowing into my mind as the song plays. Those were the days when we were in NPCC, everyone were so close. Although some of us are not even talking to each other anymore, or don't even bother to contact one another, but I know that those memories will be concrete in our hearts, no matter what. We should meet up for a reunion soon!

check this out: http://www.imeem.com/cmy7/music/FukL5sGP/s-club-7-say-goodbye/

enjoy!!

In the years to come
Will you think about these moments that we shared?
In the years to co-ome
Are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regret

Nothing lasts forever though you want it to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you

Sometimes goodbye
‘though it hurts in your heart
is the only way for destiny
sometimes goodbye
though it hurts is the only way now
for you and me
Though it’s the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
Oh don’t you cry
‘cause true love never dies

In a year from now
Maybe there’ll be things
We’ll wish we’d never said
In a year from no-ow
Maybe we’ll see eachother,
standing on the same street corner,
no regrets

Each and every end is always
written in the stars
If only I could stop the world
I’d make this last

Sometimes goodbye
‘though it hurts in your heart
is the only way for destiny
sometimes goodbye
though it hurts is the only way now
for you and me
Though it’s the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
but don’t you cry
‘cause true love never dies

And when you need my arms to run into
I’ll come for you
Nothing will ever change the way I feel

Sometimes goodbye
‘though it hurts in your heart
is the only way for destiny
sometimes goodbye
though it hurts is the only way now
for you and me
Though it’s the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way

So say goodbye
but don’t you cry
‘cause true love –never- dies

Hellos!

All right, I am late for 4 days. I'm sorry. haha. Time to continue where I've left off!

Friday last week was Good Friday! I decided to come back to school because I had some stuff to do. Something happening happened on that day and the night before. We had prawns, chicken and some veg for dinner on Thursday. Apparently, it was quite a good dinner. However, I developed some rashes after movie that night and it was quite serious. I did not really bother about it and went to sleep. I was scratching like crazy that night! It was really terrible. hais. Woke up in the morning and it was still ok, but it came back after I had lunch! I had the exact stuff we had on dinner for lunch on Friday. I went home and slept. After waking up at about 6+pm, the rashes was still there and it was quite er xin. We went for dinner and decided to go to the hospital to see a doctor. The total cost of the consultation was $172.40 (so exp!) and there was no medicine given; they only give prescriptions. I didnt get the medicine the day after because I was all right alr. I hope I can get full claim from OSHC!! what a good friday!

We went to DFO Jindalee on Saturday afternoon and I found the Lonsdale jacket! The one we saw this time is the new season jacket, which is nicer. I compared both cos they have the old model there too. I tried black and white, and I think white is nicer! But they don't have size there, so I asked them to check if the outlet at airport has it. Apparently they have it and they will send it to Jindalee and I'll have to go and collect it. I have yet to find time to collect it, but i think I'll have to go down today! woohoo~ the long lost Lonsdale jacket is found! I actually saw it in one of the poster at VivoCity when i went back last summer. I asked the sales person if they have them and they said that those are no longer in production. I wonder if they really do sell these jackets in Singapore. That's crazy!

Sunday was a total nua day and we went to sunny banks for dinner with everyone. The little Singapore in sunny banks has renovated and improved their menu a lot! But its still as expensive, the people are still as cocky. What to do? haha. Went to mitre for some MJ session and went home and sleep. Got home pretty late at about 3+ 4+, totally shagged!!

I can't exactly remember what did we do on Monday. It was a public holiday and I think we probably just stayed at home. The week passed so quickly and its another Sunday now. pfft pfft. It was a tiring week. We went to catch fast n furious on Thursday night and the movie was not too bad. It was full house! A little crazy, but yea, lots of people on the first day of the movie. We started watching Zhu Fu De Jia Qi online and it was awesome! I think the show is really nice and funny and so light hearted! I love dramas! On the other hand, I haven't got time to actually concentrate on my Zui Mei Li De Di Qi Tian, but up till now, it's a really nice show too!

As usual, we went to West End on Saturday morning. West End is bought over by this group that is in charge of lots of markets over Australia, including Brisbane market at the South Banks. A lot of stall holders are not happy because they know that this group will definately change the organic west end market to a commercialised market. It's really quite sad. I don't know what will actually happen in the end, but I know it will not be the same as before. There was actually a stge set up for everyone, stall holders as well as patrons, to make a speech or something, protest that they do not like the idea of it being bought over. It made me realise how ang mos will go all out to make sure that things go their way, and they really do voice out when they are not happy. Unlike in Singapore, people just talk about it in coffee shops and forget all about it after some time and continue with life. I really do adore their spirit and attitude.

The long awaited Gold Coast trip was awesome!!! We went to surfer's paradise after West End yesterday afternoon and rotted at the beach for a few hours before going home. It was really great! Really hope that this will not be the last time! =)

All right! I'm ending here. Hope to upload some pictures later when I get home, if I have time. I'm actually in school now, trying to do some stuff! Till then, enjoy the last few hours of the weekend!! =)
