First time blogging on my 4s

2011-11-18T09:38:00.003+08:00

It's been a week since my last day of school ended. Things were so different from what I had expected. I thought I will be super free spending each day aimlessly. Thus, when there is this workshop on engineering software, I register and went for it. It was a fruitful 3 days workshop. I kind of regret not choosing the elective that taught us how to use CFD. In this workshop, I fulfilled my aim. I learnt how to use CFD a little. Ansys is a powerful software as it can do many different simulations, structural, fluids and many others.

After utilizing my calendar app, I realized my November is very full. I have to start planning what I have to do. I had start calling the shipping company and find out the prices for the shipping cost, so at least I have started ... :) My expensive rental helps me save up a little in some way or the other, free box pick up and delivery since I am living 7 minutes away from the city center ...

As my school life is coming to an end, many dinners and meet ups to do ... I felt privileged and glad to be invited to dinners and road trips because I don't usually hang out with them. I get to know them in class individually but I don't hang out with them after school. After my 3.5 years of school, I manage to know all of them and decided to join in their dinner meeting. Subsequently, joining them for graduation trip ... After all, they are the people I see most of the time in school ... :)

On Wednesday, Shi Yuan came by but I was down with a very bad flu. As she had already come by my hostel, I decided to go down and meet her for a little while. She said she is going to pass me a pear, then I said I don't want a pear, then she said how about sweets, then I said I don't want sweets. When I show up, she gave me this extremely big Winnie the pooh paper bag ... :) I decided to remove my winter clothes from the hook and hang the paper bag there ... :)

I manage to get my phone on Monday. Dad and mum kept asking whether I had got my phone from Nicole. Kind of disappointed with the poor battery life. I am happy that I am able to personalized my message tone ... :)

Cousin's parents are coming over today. Hope they had landed safely in Melbourne ... :)

All for today ... getting use to typing with my new cover ... I can't type like the way I did because of the cover at the left hand side of the case ... My another Iphone case is on its way so if I don't like it, I might change to the other ...

The day had come ...

2011-11-05T20:10:00.001+08:00

If every good news is coupled with a bad one, I rather not have any news ...

This day had finally come ... I know there are issues between them and they seem drifting further apart. I secretly wished that they will some how work out their issues and make it till the end. She is my dearest friend and he is the best one for her. He even thought of marrying her all the time when they are together. Seeing them still together make me believe there is still love, just that I had that I have not met mine ...

The inevitable is finally here, they broken up ... She assured me she is fine but I know she is not. She is not sleeping and eating well. Suck not to be by her side, suck to be here in Mel right now. I wished she manage to get thru the pain ...

Dad got me the phone le ... I was happy about it till I heard the news ... how can I be happy when my dear friend is sad ... how much I wanted that phone ... just can't make me happy ...

Thank Dad for helping me get the phone. Reversation are not allowed and the company couldn't give a definite answer as to when the stock is coming in, so dad had to make a trip down to the shop every day. When it was his turn, they ran out of white color, dad made noise and they suddenly had one white color phone left. Dad is having fun with Siri ...

Meals with friends marks closure to school life ... The happy kid that always make me smile big time ... Gerlyn ...

2011-10-18T12:26:00.001+08:00

Babies and toddler ...

2011-10-01T11:17:00.004+08:00

Been long since I last update ... nothing much happen though ... just me and my friends ...

Recently everyone had being good ... isn't that great ... some manage to find a new way in life ... others manage to find closure ... as for me ... still the same ... nothing much ...

I just love technology ... whatsapp brings me closer to my friends back in Singapore . Yesterday a proud mum sent us her baby boy first flip picture . All of us could feel that joy . It so weird ... though its not our kid, but we feel the joy ... of coz not as much as how the mother had felt ...

Recently, I took care of a toddler for few hours ... I must blog about this because I am not sure whether I had this chance anymore . She was crying initially because she didn't want to sleep . In the middle of her sleep, she suddenly cried and sit up . When she stretch her hands out for comfort, I went over to carry her up and comfort her. She immediately fell asleep on my shoulders. When I could feel her little heartbeat beating on my chest, indescribable feeling ... ( P.S. for a moment I am afraid my bra could make her feel uncomfortable ... )

Taking a step back in life really helps when you are stuck in a sucky situation. Sometimes you can't move forward or backwards, things just repeatedly happened and you are unhappy. Taking a step back helps you to see yourself more clearly, realized what you want and find your way out from that dark tunnel ... X) ... ( P.S. glad someone is doing that ... or maybe ? not comfirm )

bel- ( leaving my little footsteps ... )

2011-09-03T22:32:00.002+08:00

最近不知怎么了，跟朋友聊的话题跟找男友有关。天啊！为什么时间过得那么快，一转眼就年中二十了，我都还没作工。我比谁都清楚，自己想要什么，好像要的越简单，越没有希望。哈哈！在这里blog, 好不是我，应该没有熟人看吧，不然我糗大了。平时的我会装得不在乎，但还满想身边有个人照顾我的。

我还是深信缘分要来时，想逃也逃不掉。我很期待，不会逃，会小闪躲，会害羞，可能一开始会不敢相信，但愿他会比谁都更坚定，我也会学着相信他。有就有，没有就没有，我一个人也会好好过。也许是天注定的吧，让我为我自己的喜怒哀乐负责。若得孤独中老，也能陪着他们长大，变老也是属于我的一种生活方式吧。。。

就在此停笔吧，我好累，鼻子却象水龙头，希望不会影响我测验时的表现。。。

Can't wait to be home ...

2011-06-11T11:46:00.002+08:00

Can't wait to be home ... I will be on the plane back to Singapore in 2 weeks time ... currently, I left 1 presentation and 2 paper. By coming Tuesday, I would left just one paper ... Nothing much going on with my life. Just my lecture notes and me, thankfully, everyday I have the company with the girls via whatsapp. Taking pictures of what I had cooked or eat ... they took "revenge" by taking pictures of what they eat ... can't wait to see them.

Also, we are going on a trip together. Yes, finally. It is a long expired graduation trip, all thanks to my not wanting let their hands off me parents. My parents wanted to come along with me but I said No. Its weird having them around ... no yellow joke or guy watching ... Dear parents, I am with you all the time ... we can travel together if you want. Just not with me and my friends...

Dad been wanting to visit me in Melbourne, told him to come if he wants to but mum doesn't want him to come because he have work to be done in Singapore. I am not worry about my Dad being bored over here, I will just chuck him at Crown Casino and he won't want to leave ... see ! so easy ...

All for today ... get back to books le ... byeeee

Casino Experience

2011-05-28T16:35:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was the last day of school, Nic had a friend coming over to visit. I decided to tag along because it had been ages since I last ate at Ying Xhai ... The coconut rice and the curries ... ummmmm ... NICE ... after dinner, we went to Casino ...

The other time I didn't get to play the table , so this time round I look forward to playing the table games. Upon arrival, I can't wait to go to the table game section. I stood round and watched to see how good the deal's luck is. Suddenly, an angry asian student stood up from the table because he had lose all his money and threw his last $1 chip at the dealer. A superstitious aussie woman took that $1 chip from the dealer and insist of giving it to me. She explained it's bad luck for the other players and insist I should take that chip as far as possible. Upon hearing it's bad luck, I didn't want to take it because I want to play table game too . She keep insisting on it saying its only a dollar and the other players were waiting for it . The dealer couldn't give the cards out because everyone's attention is on me. I had no choice but to take that chip and " fled the scene " ...

I went " crying " to Nicole about my encounter and change that chip to money. I sat at the jackpot machine trying to use up that dollar so that I can play table games. Despite all efforts, the $1 kept increasing. I am also thinking whether to play table games because someone just pass me a bad luck coin.

I whatsapp my Dad about my encounter. He was not please to hear that I am in Casino. I explained to him it was last day of school and we were celebrating(?) . I said I wanted to play table games badly but someone pass me a bad luck chip. I asked for his advice whether should I proceed playing table. He asked me how was I playing on the machine , I told him that dollar had become $5. Then he said if I want to play table game, just play, but I have to limit myself. ( X) ... he didn't say how much ). He even said try to win $100 if you can. LOL ...

After trying to use up that $1, it grew bigger. I gave up on trying to lose it and went to play table game. Heeee ... not bad not bad ... my luck was not as bad as I thought ... I manage to win a little and I managed to save the table twice ... The woman who passed me that chip recognized me and asked am I that one ... , I smiled and nod ... Later D joined in the table game till he lose all the chips and we left the table. He let Nicole to play a turn ... sweeeet ! I left the table with chips held in both my hands ...

A night to remember ... sometimes when someone pass u something unpleasant ... doesn't mean its going to be unpleasant ....

-bel-

(P.S. I went back hostel to look at my FB acc to determine what was the damage done because FB doesn't load image with comments well and find some disturbing status update of my dear frend ... I whatsapp her and chatted a bit ... she felt better after talking to me and manage to sleep ... sometimes I wish I am found , but at such times , I wished I won't because I can be there for my friend ... )

Pure laziness ...

2011-05-21T12:39:00.005+08:00

Today is one of the rare moments I find being lazy is acceptable . Hahahas ... I seriously doesn't want to do anything, sent a couple of emails, went Vic Mar for my favorite breakfast, wonder into Swanston street to see what's road closure like ( nah ... nothing special ... ), clear my space under my desk a little, more room for legs now, now blogging ... I checked the TV guide and there is nothing to watch so I decided to download fuXshions and download the third Lord of the Xings movie ... ahhh ... it's great !!!

Recently, I liked watching Lord of the Ring ... Freddo is sooooo cute ... heeeee ... but still second to Harry Potter ... muhahahas ... XP Its brings me to say that good characters in the movie appeals to me greatly . ( P.S. hao ren zhen nan zhuo ... hao ren ye hui lie )

I was watching Sex and the City TV episodes yesterday. It was great; worth the wait. I was very very very tired yesterday because I didn't sleep well. Before I sleep, I suddenly remembered I did not dimension the chamfer. The whole night I didn't sleep well just because I forget to dimension the chamfer. I didn't wake up to do it because I was too tired to get up. Life is full of dilemma ...

Woke up in the morning, got ready to meet NXX. If you happen to read this, NXX ... I know you have something when you asked me out for meals or drinks for no reason. Its not how I know, its know you too long lar ... It used to be table for 2 ... yesterday was table for 3 ... I guess its going to be like this for awhile. NXX talks to him about everything. Yesterday, he asked how's my assignment going, NXX will be blissful ...

Talking about bliss, my sister is engaged ! Happy for her. My sister had been the pillar for the family and finally she could put down that baggage and have someone to lean on ... I am going to miss her company in the room but I look forward to it ...

-bel-

(P.S. while watching Sex and the City, trying to list down what kind of person I want to be with, I concluded with there isn't such a list because there will always be concession when it comes to love ... a big " idiot" said that there issit a right person, i beg to differ because there will always someone that is better than the right person , but he/she is the right person because your heart says so ... )

Happy Mother's Day

2011-05-08T12:02:00.004+08:00

A little post before I get on with my assignments ...

Being 24th and still studying, I felt old. I wondered why did I step on this path? My friends are working, doing great and I alone in this foreign land. I always wondered why people look at engineers in a different eye. Engineering is just a course, now I just watched it suck my life away. Graduation is 7 months away and I am afraid I won't make it, I had taken a demanding elective.

I took engineering graphics as an elective because I feel that engineers should know some graphic software. Little did I know that the software I am going to use is Catia. That's when it all went wrong. Catia is a professional drawing software which has many many functions, it has so many functions that it is split into different workbenches. My lecturer on the other hand, expects industry standards, is not just getting the parts right. But also, labeling each profile correctly and doing it in the shortest step.

For an armature learning to use the software, we are just playing with the functions till we get the feature. I wondered if he knows we had no prior knowledge about Catia. The test on Catia was a crap, be in written or modelling, it was out of what I had expected. Looking back at one of the lessons, I recalled a time when he said to the class, " Come on, create a point", everyone just stared at him blankly. Then he said, "Oh ya, first go to this work bench .... "

Next up is the gXneral eXection in SXngapore. It my first time voting and I am missing it. The next time I get to vote is when I am 29 ... Oh my ! I am so old ... I really hope SXngapore gets to be led by some opposition party because there are some little stories in SXngapore need to be heard. N.S. spoke about that old lady that didn't have enough money to pay for her rent, I believed there are others out there. Its sad to see G.Y. not winning, he is committed and listens to the people. This G.E. reminds me a quote from Bill ClXXXXX( if I don't remember wrongly)," Don't ask what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country... "

This weekend is one of the rare times where I get to sleep a day off. From Friday to Saturday, I slept for 12 hours , from Saturday to Sunday, I slept for 12 hours. I had slept a day off ! My cough is gone too, maybe because of that , I got my much deprived sleep back. I finally went to the supermarket to get a cough mixture and after 3 dose of it , my cough is gone!

Being living alone overseas, makes me learn how to take good care of myself. When I m sick, I had to buy medicine and eat it; no one is there to say , "guaiz". Cleaning my room, washing my clothes had become part of me. I am glad to see my laundry basket empty X). Eating my meal and eating it right, growing up ... At times I still wonder, what am I doing in here, is this a dream? Studying in Melbourne was never part of my plan in life... I was wanted to get away from something, avoid seeing some people, breathing a different air, start a new. I remember saying , " ni men hui bu hui wang ji wo " ... I am glad we still stay in contact ...

I decided to blog about growing up because today is Mother's day. My mum is a conservative mum. She likes to keep her kids by her side. I am shock to learn that my mum still hasn't let me be totally independent, I am always that kid in her eyes. Anyways, " Happy Mother's Day to all ~ "

bel-( let the wind takes me to where he wanted ... )

A little something just in case I want to look back

2011-05-01T10:40:00.001+08:00

酒是不是好东西?对于我来说，偶而喝点小酒不是件坏事。。。

前晚，我朋友邀请我去她姐的医生护士同乐会。我朋友的姐已三十岁了，想认识hot dog，而我跟我的朋友直是陪这去。。。也许这来得正好，我很不开心，想舒解情绪。。。我很担心，在心情不好的情况下喝酒会不会很容易醉，怕会失态，把人家吓坏了。。。

我小心翼翼的喝酒和玩，看到她们抓鱼很好玩。。。玩了一晚，我肚子好饥，我怕肥，所以不敢吃。。。我既然犯下这么大的错，去前，没吃东西，回家前也没吃东酒。

隔天，就是恶梦的开始，一大清早的，觉得怪怪的，为什么洒精没排出来。。。我也没想太多，觉得自己喝太少了所以没东西排。。。到了vic mar 吃了我最爱的早餐，整个人有点小飘，也许是因为我坐下来，没感觉到，在Facebook 劈里啪啦的讲些有的没的。。。

站起来的那一刹那，我就知道洒精发作了。。。我整个人飘飘的买了菜，走起路来很缓慢。。。回家的路上我发现到我好像做错些什么，打开Facebook 一看，啊!我为什么会写下这一些。。。

也许这是件好事吧!酒让我对我自己的感受坦白一点，让我可以变得懦弱一点。。。我一天一天的过，不知不觉变得越来越强，但也忘了怎么变懦弱。。。我知道我很不开心，想滔滔大哭,但流下几滴眼泪之后，我又把眼泪收回去。。。但在酒精的影响下，我做到了。。。

今天早上，我感到很快乐，我把该发泄的心情都发出来了，睡得特别好!我已经很久都没睡上十个小时了。。。我平时不管多晚睡，就算是凌晨四点，我还是十点起身，昨晚真的睡得太好了!

傻瓜日记完必。。。

1st day of my last easter break

2011-04-21T11:36:00.001+08:00

Blogging this post while tramming to school with my iPhone on the first day of the semester break. Blogspace is great app to blog with if you all are curious to know. The only issue I had with this app is the picture upload function, I need to pay for the prisca app in order to upload photos. I am still considering whether to buy that app as I don't really take photo.

From the last time I blogged, I was slacking away looking forward to this Easter break to clear assignments. I regret slacking too much, like now, I have these unexpected trips to school. I do not have enough time to do my assignments. My assignments had a twist too, the standards for reports got demanding and for my design report, my lecturer said we only need to assemble the parts, now we had to draw new parts and assembly them. Sometimes I wonder, is this still easter break ?

This morning I got up at 7 am, I guess my body is used to waking up this early. Had a hard time going back to sleep. Woke up at 9 am again, played some FB games and watched the latest episode of gossip girls. I am glad there is not so much of scheming and plotting. They had grown up ! Loved the phase from the last 5 minutes, " Destiny is full of surprises ... " Dedicating this phase to my dearies , thou we are 24 and still single, we hope to find the right one one day and are living each day happily ... X)

Yesterday, I had the lamest conversation on Facebook. 10 years and still counting ... they are the ones where you feel relax and comfortable with, dropped your guard and say anything under the sun/moon; even though it can be the lamest or dumbest thing one ever heard of ... I miss you all and the fun time ... no matter how life separates us, it's the bond that keeps us together ...

Mother's day is coming, what had you all done ? For me, I did the usual sending a card. Last year when I went back, I realized mum or dad hung the cards I sent them on the wall. My mum is very practical person, u thought she might had a good laugh and throw it away, didn't expect her to hang it on the wall. My dad likes to keep and my mum likes to throw, they are match for each other.

Talking about the wall, I remembered something I want to share ... This year is the year of rabbit so mum put me incharge of decorating the wall. After i took down the old decoration, Dad sudden 人来风 ... he said okok, I go get the clothe and helped you to wipe the wall. Mum and I was shocked but we recovered fast but he is an impromptu person.

5 more stops to school ... shall end here then ... hope to update soon ...

xoxo ... bel

昨天我买汉堡包时，看到小帅哥。。。他看到我时很开心，满脸笑个不停，我何常不是，但藏在心里，叫东西吃时，两人忍不住紧张起来，但我却冷漠面对，因为心里巳知是不可能的。。。

Little post ~

2011-04-07T21:59:00.001+08:00

Surfing around some blogs and decided to update a post of my own. Thankfully, apple rox ! I can blog while sitting on my bed ...

Though the hectic assignment period is over, finally I am going to hand in my last week 5 assignment . Another assignment will be due in 2 weeks time. One test will be on 9th May and 3 more assignment at the end of the semester one and semester one will come to an end ... I am tired and can't wait for Easter break.

It might sound a little scary but I don't what to revise for exams. I took 2 classes of software graphics , one still have a little theory but the other mainly focus on modeling. Renewable energy is more of definitions and calculations. I guess during my Easter break, I will work on my assignments so that when they are nearing the due date, I won't be stress.

Over the years doing my assignments, I realized my English and focus steered from Singapore to Melbourne. It felt strange because I am writing about a foreign land instead of something I am familiar. Setting my spell check from United States English to Australia English. At times, the spellings make me confused.

Today I received a postcard from a dear friend ... Cheered me up big time !!! Thanks ... muack ~

Anyway ... That's all for tonight. I need to sleep as tomorrow I need to wake up early for class. Question for the night , " when you eat chocolate , are you missing someone ? "

-bel the girl you knew-

First time blogging from my iPhone ....

2011-03-26T14:18:00.001+08:00

I am still thankful for having an iPhone . I had max my data limit for peak hours and so I can't blog from my laptop . I am so glad and happy with this app on my iPhone ... :)

There are so many things I wanted to blog about ... My time when I was back in Singapore and stuff but I was too busy with school stuff. I though this is unbelievable but I hasn't really do any shopping . My mum
will be glad to know that ... hahahas ...

Back in Singapore, I manage to spend more time with my friends this time round. I got complaint for not spending enough time with them the last time. Last year, my family went Korea for holiday during Christmas but I decided go because I had to do attachment. I didn't want to be alone during this festive season and thankfully they are single or married and so I invited them over to my home to spend Christmas together. We did a mini potluck, everyone cook something. As usual I took the short cut, I brought soft drinks and tidbits. We had fun but if I had mahjong table. It would be better. During the wee hours, I drove the girls out for a spin ...

As usual CNY, we all had to go back to my dad's home town . I realized I had many many little cousins ... they are soooo cute and easily conned too ! With the girls, we went to visit Mrs Hoe. She is recovering well. Nice to hear updates like one is getting married, most found stable jobs, some
still studying. Mrs Hoe said that I had being studying for a long time ... heeee* ... I think so tooo ...

Everytime, when the papers introduce a new eating place, my Dad will be very enthu to give it a try. So when the papers introduce the hawkers place at the Singapore flyer, my dad is very very keen to try despite the expensive parking fees . Thankfully with the iPhone, I manage to find out the parking charges and warn my dad about it. Its a dollar something per half an hour even after 6 pm but it didn't stop my parents from parking there ! The food was average, not worth to queue and expensive. That is really a touristy place, for tourist to try how it last like ( 到味，没够味) ... the gluttons bay at espanade is much better !!!

shall stop blogging and start doing my assignments ... hopes to figure out how to post pictures the next time I blog ....

bel ...

P.s. 当我不开心时，总是想找你大吼。但想想，还是不了。。。不知道你会不会忙，会不会觉得我很无聊，太多太多不知道了。想想还是别吵你了，在我没搞清楚在你心里我占了什么位置，还是别找你了。。。

The first Monday of 2011

2010-12-30T00:00:00.004+08:00

The first Monday of 2011

Time files ... I had this blog for about 5 years ... this is my 275th post ... my dearest lappy of 2.5 year old chui le ... not very sure its the adapter port or the adapter ... it gives me an opportunity to look back at what I had done in year 2010 and make new goals in for 2011 ...

I was asked this question at a Christmas party , " What are the things you want to give thanks to ? " I then realized it had been an eventful year for me ...

I had made many new friends in mechanical engineering. I was not sure what are my classmates perception of me. I kept very low profile in class and only know some stuff through other's mouth. As time goes by, I started talking to the people around me and realized that they are nice people. I am glad I had manage to mingle with the locals too. Now I had a hard time deciding where to graduate. I wanted to graduate in Singapore initially because my friends in Singapore will be able to attend. Now I am thinking to graduate in Melbourne because I met many new friends and also we do the course together.

I had experience a car crash. It took me 5 traffic police driving tests to get my license. Sidetrack a little , it was a miracle how I got my license. I remember during the test, the tester was more like my instructor. He kept giving me instructions like how much should I turn my steering wheel and when to stop the car else I will crash onto the kerb. I am overly carefully with my driving because I didn't know what car crash is like. My friend was driving, the first car stop too suddenly but the cars behind stopped abruptly. My friend manage to stop the car in time and we chat a little. Suddenly, the car behind us crash onto us. I remembered my head hitting the head rest twice. I got down the car with pain in my head. The accident taught me how it is like in an car accident and gave me more confidence in driving ... :)

Mirabel and Sheeren took time to visit me in Melbourne. I realized how little I know the city. I am thankful that they make time to visit me. They brought me to many new places and I manage to experience cafe culture and watch the crowd go by. As all of us grew older, things become more and more busier, I am glad they manage to take time out to pay me a little visit. They came before my exams and that spur me to work harder for my exams. I overload my subjects and surprisingly, I manage to pass all !!! XD

The last major thing was taking the plane back home. The initial drama about faulty A380 and the delay in the airport. I am so glad that the owner had not given up our reservation to someone else delay my 3 hour delay at the airport. I realized I what are things I will miss when I am gone.

Today is the first monday for 2011, I hope to graduate by the end of this year ! My new year resolution is to read menu patiently, I realized it a bad habit for me to say , " have everything on the menu " . I did that twice, one was at the cake shop, the other was at a bah ku teh store. I tend to do that when everything looks good. That's bad ... I must remember patient ...

I am doing my mask while typing this post. I realized that I had been slacky in my facial skin care since my skin got a little better. Initially I don't feel confident going out without any make up . Ever since I am been introduce to liquid foundation. I had been using that since it provide some coverage and I can use it quickly. Hahas ... My Nabara stick, concealer, brusher and eye shadow ... I feel bad towards them as I got lazy to make up.

I manage to spend my New Year with a different and unexpected group of people. I was tore between two groups of friends, I did not know which to go for, in the end I chose to for something else. Hahas ... seems like I really not like making choices ...

That's the end of this blog post ... updated the next time round ...

bel- ( I miss you ... )

Not dead yet ...

2010-11-29T12:43:00.005+08:00

Not dead yet ...

Heeee ... I manage to pass all !!! Grades not very good though but surprising results too ... hahahas ... I seriously didn't want to look at my grades. Nic told me that I am able to checked whether I passed on Friday but I refuse. I am so scared to look at my results. I want to enjoy my weekends. I am able to check my results at 7.30 am but I am so scared that I checked my results at 12.30 pm . Talk to my classmates online and asked about theirs, they did pass, makes me not wanting to check mine more. They even offer to help me checked, I don't really like to learn from someone else so I decided to check my results myself.

A little recap on my last semester, it was hectic. Towards the end was a killer. I truly became friends with coffee. Without coffee, I couldn't make it to lecture. Handling 5 subjects was a nightmare. Sometimes, during a 8.30 lecture, the lecturer saw us yawning away, normally he will let us go for a break at 9.30, but he will then let us go for a break at 9.10 I will rush to the canteen to get a cup of coffee and breakfast. I fell in love with pies too !! This is how I survived at 8.30 to 5.30 day. Coffeee ... you are my new best friend ...

Time flies, I had only left 3 months in Singapore. My 2.5 weeks just flew by. Hanging out with girls brings back the fond memories. Pat just upload the album on Facebook. Going through the album and I realized , What ! we took so many pictures !! Hahahas ... I had been hanging out with my sec school clique more recently because Jing took leave to study for her exams. We managed to hang out a bit with Cindy aka dee . We met up Jing on the last day of her exams and hang a bit. They brought me to eat nice desserts at JP.

We set up an impromptu meeting the next day as Jing and her sister is going to town. Then Cindy and I needs to clean our luxury goods for cleaning at the town too ! So we meet up and had vegetarian buffet. I am glad it went alright after all Cindy and I were the plus 2.

I had watched Harry Potter with Cindy. My first and her second time watching. I was suppose to watch it before the actual day of release but I was down with food poisoning. I can't describe how awesome Harry Potter can be. I kept saying Harry Potter is awesome. Luckily Cindy feels the same and did not find me irritating. I hardly find myself so into the movie after watching it. I also love saying , " I want to watch this " after the thrillers. Hahahas ... Nic just don't get it which one I want to watch because almost all the thrillers, I keep saying I want to watch.

Family had brought me out for meals, no worries, didn't go to atas places. I went to coffee shops/market places , more food choices. I had almost everything on my list expect for prata. Can't wait to go Prata with the girls because my family had became health conscious, the government says that one in ten singaporean is overweight. Sister will organize jogging for the whole family and the incentive is good breakfast. I been trying to bail myself out but my mum, an active helper, announced that she found my running shoes (-_-)!!! ...

Other then hanging out with my friends ... I am hanging out with my family and staying at home as xiao guaiz~ ... need to act a little before a wild night ... weeee ... shall blog about this if I went, after all its my first time ... I only wanted to blog a little but more and more things start pouring in ...

Just in case some day I want to look back ...

Just in case some day I want to look back ...

The past three weeks was hectic for me ... I wanted to blog these memories because they are special to me ...

The last week of school was surprisingly relax for me. The lecturer of a major assignment gave us a one week extension for the assignment. I clear my other 3 assignments and manage to not go school on Friday ... : ) Had a good rest on thursday night. Clean my room on the Friday and at night , went out with sister nic n her 2 guy friends. We played pool ! Its my first pool game in Melbourne. Jo is really very good ... remind me of him ( Ja ) ... but ... Jo is nicer, he taught us, sometimes he even put water ... Hahas ... La is super funny, he is more of dao dan, he will ignore the playing order and jump upon chance that have those easy balls ... sometimes, he didn't even manage to get it in.

The following week Mirabel and Sheeren came to visit me !!! I often had to pinch myself to know that its not a dream. I was expected to be their tour guide, end up they are my tour guide instead. They brought me to new places like Delgrave street and Brunswick Street. I fell in love with the cafe culture. We sat down, drank our coffees and watch the crowd go by. The only discomfort we had was to breath in second hand smoke.

On Friday night, Sheeren and I went to watch Mary Poppins. Its was my first musical ! I wore a maxi dress since its a formal dress code. I feel a little pretty in the dress. Its long and feels a little like princess. As we were running out of time, I had to pull my dress up a little so that I can walk with a bigger step. The musical was so fantastic that Sheeren and I can't help keep talking about it. After meeting my cousin and his wife, I realized how lucky we were. They had book months before. As for us, we only book 2 days before and at $40. I want to watch musical again !!!

Mirabel was meeting her friend at Brunswick street after planet shakers church. I didn't know it was so walkable from the church. Luckily Mirabel had study the map and Sheeren had done some exploring while I was studying at Hudson's . So we walked from the church to Brunswick street. Initially, I wasn't into that street. Till I went into the heart of the street. I fell in love with the street, the shops, the food, they even had $4 pizza after 7 pm. Can't wait to go there again. Some day some how I will blog about this again.

With Mirabel and Sheeren around, I was more motivate to do my best and get on with my major assignments and study. I tried to bring them around and work on my assignments at night. I would study at night till late and still wake up in the morning and bring them around. At least, that's what I should do. They are thankful for me taking out my time to bring them around, but I feel bad for not being able to bring them around much.

Proud of my little self , I ignore my lappy for many days to study for my semester. I know I am able to do my 3rd year subjects semester exams because I had been doing my assignments. As for my 2nd year subject semester exams, I couldn't really do it. I got exemptions in my lab and assignments, end up the most questions came out from there. Nic and I had the paper the same time but different venue. She too, screwed up her paper. Despite feeling bad too, I tried to make her feel better. We almost wanted to jet to Sydney to have a short trip and returning on Melbourne on Monday to study.I bought Nic a heart with key charm and the same one for myself so that she will feel better. Hope she feels better.

Dinner at night with cousins was a great one. As usual, chen hua( cousin's bf ) disturbed me, everytime I would beg Elyn ( cousin ) to let me kill him. First we had sushi burger, its was awesome ... I ordered Ebi mayo. Next we had desserts at passion flower ... it was awesome too ... we ordered random stuff and shared .Its double awesomeness in one night !!! Hau wei ( Cousin ) kept whatsapp my dad about the dinner and dad told him not to feed me too much !!! Dad is gonna get it from me ... Elyn kept talking about the good old times ... man ... I miss those times ... she remembered mum shouting from the door, asking me to bath, scolding me for playing out in the sun, for getting so tanned. I told Mum about it, she blames me for being naughty ... hahahas ... some stuff you do, its follows you for life ... :P

Today I slept for 12 hours, I feel rejuvenated . My bones are snapping especially my neck. I hope to go for a massage when I am back in Singapore . My neck is giving me problem, very stiff .

My new wish list ...

2010-10-22T07:24:00.003+08:00

My new wish list ...

Every time when Xpple releases a new product, I really really want to have my hands on it. After watching the latest Xpple event, I can't wait for the new operating system, Lion to be up. The flip function and the mission control function is the coolest thing that ever happen in the Xac. After using X-phone, the flipping, sizing, scrolling using just the finger tips makes the viewing easier. I like the theme, ' Back to Xac ' .

The new OS will be up june/july 2011, just nice my Xac Xac warranty ended. My first Xacbook, he will be missed. I can't describe how unwilling to change lappy but the current graphic condition cannot support my engineering drawing software. I am happy just to upgrade my OS but the purpose of my lappy is still mainly for studies. Thus, a change is a must. I am currently torn between to get the Xacbook air or the Xacbook pro. Since Dad is paying, I guess it will be Xacbook pro.

I am glad more and more people are using Xac, I had been using Xindows for the past 1 month to do my assignments. Just when I started missing the Xs Office and Xin Msn, my hotmail account is filled with virus again! It had been spamming emails yesterday! 200 spam emails and still counting ... sorry to those who are in my contacts ...

The next Xpple product I would like to get is the X-pod nano, my nano is still doing fine but it doesn't have the FM function. When I grew tired of the songs in my nano, I don't have other alternatives ... The new nano is very different from the previous nanos in terms of the outlook ... can't wait to have my hands on it ...

The last apple product I would like to get the its next generation of X-phone, Xpple never fails to amaze me, thus I am excited to about the what additional function it will have its the next generation of X-phone.

Xpple never fails to take technology to the next level ... they are always listening to what people wants and giving more than what people wanted ... It inspires me at times to what to give people more than they expect ...

If you manage to read this ...

I realized its been long since I last blog. Yesterday at Tian Ren Bubble Tea place, they were playing Dai Wo Zou . I realized its being long since I last blogged. I didn't really want to head out yesterday even though I was itching to. Then I saw something on FB. Many thoughts went through my mind. I don't feel good and wanted to head out of my room badly. Thankfully, manage to find someone to head out with.

I loved and hate FB. I love it whenever I post something on my wall, my close friends will comment on it. Its nice to know I am not forgotten even though I am here in Melbourne. I am able to know how my friends are. Sometimes, I really don't like FB because you will see stuff you don't want to see. For instance, how much work X classmate has done and I will start stressing. Every time when I see stuff that I don't want to see, I will just close the window and continue with my FB games ; I am such an ostrich ...

I am still a faithful FB gamer, I wonder when will I stop playing these games. It is not time consuming, after some clicks, I am able to continue with my stuff and click again when its time for me to reset. When sister was very keen to play with my cafe world ( yes, she has my FB password ), but after a few months, she grew sick and tired of it and stopped playing it. ( Sidetrack : I remembered reading a news about this woman trying to delete her boyfriend's FB account because he had passed away for years and his FB account is still active and she finds it hard to move on . I am glad my sister had my passwords, if I am not longer around, I hope she deletes all my networking accounts. )

School seems to get tougher and tougher. All of us agreed that third year second semester is the hardest of all ! We had been doing assignments for the entire semester. I think there is only 3-4 weekends we could have a good rest. The marks weight-age for the assignments are not high yet time taken to do the assignments are very very long. Some of my classmates did not sleep for days because they need to complete the assignment.

I am getting more playful in class. My friend Yoyo treats me like a teddy bear, she would pinch and poke me when she feels like it. Thankfully, Felisha will disturb her by poking her too. Now she could feel how I felt. We girls are getting noisier. The class used to be filled with only guys conversations but nowadays, we are getting noisy and seem to be the nosiest during the breaks. George seem to get use to us speaking Mandarin , sometimes he will ask what we are laughing about, or laugh with us if he manage to get it by guessing the content via the few english words we used , else he will ignore the laughter. I am glad more and more people are talking to George.

With lesser friends in the city, I had more ME time to do some thinking. I realized my friends are very nice to me. Family going on a holiday during this Christmas, I decided to invite the girls over to my house to celebrate Christmas together. Its been long since I last spend my Christmas in Singapore. Normally I will be at some country or on a plane.

I remembered the last time the girls came over was when it was the first Christmas after the breakup. When I was attached, they automatically excused themselves, but when I was feeling sad and empty, they quickly filled up the hole in me. I really appreciate that and it had always been on my mind. I am glad you all are happy and excited to come over.

I realized that I had been missing out lots of my friends ( the girls and e fave 38s )birthday when I am in Melbourne. However when I am back, they will make an effort to celebrate my birthday ( though with each passing year , I don't really want to celebrate because I feel so old ) . Thanks girls for withholding my present and resist buying crappy stuff for me . I know its hard to get stuff for me because I don't seem to be lacking any . Just let you know that, no matter what you get for me, I will treasure it. I treasured the thoughts and the gift ( to the extend that I can't bear to use it ).

Yesterday, Jie told me that Pa was flying to Maldives. I then realized its been long since Dad go over there personally, norm he will send someone else to go over. Seems like the market had changed, Pa kept traveling to China nowadays. I hope to re-visit Maldives as the last time Dad did not allow me to snooker. Worse of all, he asked me to play with the water near the shore. Faint* . Jie, Ma and Di still the same. Di passed his driving test recently and he is the new driver in the family. Di will drive Ma to pick Jie from work. Can't wait to go back home and see how good is he . He kept showing his victory fingers for passing on the first attempt when we were skyping.

That alls for now ... got to be aunty and clean the room le ...

Blog is not dead ...

2010-04-02T19:39:00.002+08:00

Blog is not dead ...

I finally feel like blogging again . I guess life still goes on and on till some day , something happen . I finally had my mid-semester break . Life as a third year student was a killer . The work got tougher , study hours got longer . Days passes like a flash .

Tramming is now part and puzzle of my life . Three hours of transport is tiring for me . Thank goodness , currently , my friend is driving me to the train station , thus shortening my traveling time by half an hour .It caused her a bit of trouble about her sending me to the train station . Manage to resolve it , I guess communication is the root of all solutions .

Currently , I am quite into Facebook games . I am currently playing pets society , cafe world , restaurant city , hotel city and mafia . Got to admit , it seems like I am going over the limit . Its kind of addictive , when I accept some gifts from my friends , the games start loading , and it will be a never ending story .

Let my review the games I played ,

I first start playing cafe world and restaurant city because I am a food lover ! Initially , cafe world seem boring to me because I need to cook and wait . Restaurant city on the other hand was like an automatic restaurant because I just have to set my staff properly and it will all run by itself . However , now I prefer cafe world more than restaurant city because I find the things I do on restaurant city are very mundane whereas in cafe world , I get to cook new dishes when I leveled up .

My sister enjoyed cafe world too , she played on my behalf when I am busy with studies ( Yes , I pass her my password too , please think again if you are posting anything on my wall ) . The joy of that game is to cook !

Next , I started playing Pets society , I always wanted a pet dog but I would not rear one because I don't want to clean his poos and pees , mostly importantly , one day it might died . Pet society seems like a perfect solution to all my needs . Currently he is in his bunny costume , cuteness max to the core . I bought him a new petling , but seems like the petling and the pet had no link ! The petling doesn't interact with my pet ! <>

Then I started playing mafia because in cafe world , there is dish whereby you need to have certain level in mafia to be able to cook . I started playing and it a never-ending story . Easy to play as I merely click it all the way and level up .

Recently , I had playing hotel city . Sometimes I get desperate because I need to get people to work in my hotel . Hahas , to save money on wages . I enjoyed this game because I gets to decide how I want my rooms to look like , how I want to place the rooms and etc. . The irritating part is , I don't earn money fast enough and so I can't build the things I want !

Hahas , finally let out what I want to say about Facebook games , I am ready to talk about school . Lets start with a little complaining , walking to the west to the east campus was a killer ! It takes 30 minutes to walk and there is nothing I can do about it . One of my lecturer don't lecture will , luckily the tutor is good at explaining stuff and always smile when he talking to us , he looks like 26 but actually he is 36 ! Tramming 3 hours is a killer ! There is weekly assignments and assignment are killers !

In short I am dead ...

I manage to meet new people this semester , some old ones too ... Hahas ... miss some people as we got separated , the manufacturing and the aerospace people ...

I can't think of any bright side about school to blog about and so I shall stop here .

My daily was a routine , no longer I get to hang around in the city because I don't have the luxury of time . Though I stay in the city , its just school and home . Occasionally , I just go for a little shopping . Its not grocery shopping , its real shopping kind . Shop for stuff I need .

My recent buys are T2 tea and a firm pillow . A firm pillow is really important to me ! I had suffered a badly strain neck and it causes my right hand to feel uncomfortable . I finally shopped for a pillow on my last day of school . That night , I slept so well that all the uncomfortableness is gone !

I recently decided to drink tea as I realized I been eating out quite a lot and the food is greasy . In aussie , T2 is reputable for its tea so I decided to head down there to get some tea . I wasn't a tea drinker as I don't like the bitter taste . The sales lady was nice ! I explained that I am getting tea for the first time , what are the stuff I should get and what I should take note of , I picked a China jasmine and Turkish apple . She advice that if I am brewing the china jasmine , the water should not be too hot else there will be a bitter taste . The water should be 80% hot , which meant , 80% boiling water , 20% cold water for chinese tea leaves .

Currently , I am drinking tea almost everyday !

I shall end my post here , else people will be snoring away while reading my blog ...

Finally , I feel liked blogging . The open diary for me to share my thoughts with people who really want to know ( those who are all out to make fun of my english ... please head straight to the exit ) .

Suddenly felt like blogging because I still can't decide whether I am fortunate or unfortunate . Weighing from the stuff I had , the chance to study aboard , the destinations I get to travel , makes one want to be miss tan ya fen .

I currently own 2.5 branded bags and 1.5 branded wallets . I can't remember since when I had become a sucker for branded stuff . I got my 1st branded bag when I was eighteen . Probably its a cheer up bag for me I guess , suffering from the B... . My first B... bag , can't bear to use it . Now the handle is a little torn and tattered , the lock got a little rusty . Now I am finding ways to restore it .

XXXX year , I went to Japan . Hello ... its J... , how could I give B... B... L.... a miss . Then its the next bag I got . I truly understand what is the ultimate bag . Its like where ever you shop , you still can't find any bag that is nicer than B... B... L... bag . I carried for one year and only saw someone carrying the same bag once .

XXXX year , I went to P... and R... , who could I give L... a miss . Moreover , I would not go to P... and R... within the next few years . Got a little something from L... . Maybe I might carry for many many years till I have money to get H....'s B... .

Hahas ... I got a little bimbo recently . I am so afraid of having the same bag as others . I am glad the did not get the norm models . Mum and I keep giving each other eye signal when we see someone having L... . Of course , many thought its the fake one because I dress every badly . The perfect excuse would be because half my wardrobe is in M... . Muhahaha ...

I realized that many young girls had L... bag too . I guess its reasonable to have one too .

Being able to study overseas allows me to realize what I am able to do and what I am not able to do . Experience the freedom and the self discipline I never had . At times I enjoy the quiet time I had . Sometimes I miss home , but I manage to curb this feeling by hanging out with my friends . I guess many of the students had the same feelings too .

Recently , I came back from an oversea trip with my family . The only conclusion I got from this trip is my parents still cannot accept that we are all growth . They have selective expectation standard of us . They expect us to handle our own stuff yet their mouth can't stop nagging at us . It was very awkward and embarrass for us , being in our 20s and being nagged at loudly by our parents . Many people were looking at us but my parents seem to enjoy the authority . Good or bad ?

Still want to be miss tan ya fen ?

All for today then ...

2009-12-01T13:29:00.003+08:00

1st post of my favorite month ...

Since its my favorite month , I am suppose to post something happy . But my mind is flooded by the release of my result . Had failed one module and there is no supp paper for it . I guess I need not check my school email inbox everyday to search for email from lecturers then . Enjoy my 3 months to the fullest . Maybe that is a blessing in disgust for not shifting away from the city .

Decided not to shift away from the city and I am glad I did not compromise to my own standards . Don't want to comment much about this matter .

As for myself , I been watching Gong Xin Ji all this while . Been to orchard ION , meet people and do many many stuff .

All for now ... bye bye ...

Blog post of a drama princess

Thursday ( 24/06 )

Its was the last day of my exams . Can't wait for it to end . The dynamics paper is very tough . Lecturer is nice as he give two repeated questions . At the end of the exam , everyone shook our head . Hahas ... gone case ! Good thing results will be released on 13th July . Thus supplementary paper will be much later .

After my exams , I called Nicole and asked her whether she had any plans . We had dinner with her friends from Hong Kong aka my class mates aka my future room mates . Funny relationship yet I have mix feeling delcaration them as friends . To me , they are Nicole 's friends . To them , I am Nicole's friend . Maybe one day , they are my friends .

After dinner , Nicole and I went to watch Transformer . Its very nice ! Though its 2 and half hours . I felt like its 1 hour only ! Its sad at some parts when _______________ . But there are also funny parts like ______________ . I don't want to spoil it for those who hasn't watch it .

Then after movie , Nicole went to my room to help me with my packing . Stay over night because she is scared that I cannot wake up in time for my bus pick-up .

Friday ( 25/06 )

Bus picked me up and went to airport . Then I flew to Sydney to transit to Singapore . When I reached Sydney , I was told that my baggage is still at Sydney Qantas terminal. The SQ staff advise me to speak to Qantas baggage center . The male receptionist was rude and nasty to me . He insisted me to go back to the Qantas terminal and get my baggage myself when it was 2 and half hours to boarding time and the bus interval is 20 minutes . So I went over there to get it .

When I was at the Qantas Bus Terminal , a nice check-in clerk advise me that I would not make it in time for my boarding if I head to the Qantas terminal and helped me to make some contacts and settle my baggage for me . She is very sincere and even helped me to keep track of my baggage so that they will be able to send it to me at the earliest flight . I was touched by what she did for me . It was out of her job scoop and helped me with it .

I went back to Singapore Airlines counter to inform them that my baggage will not be going on this flight . Singapore Airlines side also inform their supervisor about this accident . The staff asked me what am I going to do without my baggage . I told them , its ok , after all I am heading back home .

I called Dad about it , he wasn't surprise ! He asked me whether is there any expensive stuff inside , I replied my levis jeans and the bras . He asked if I get free upgrade . I replied him , good luck don't always come . Then I called sis , she said if everything goes smoothly then its a miracle . She also asked if there is any expensive stuff . I called my mum about it , apparently news had already reached her . She said , those lost stuff can buy them again .

I went to ate something , then head to my boarding gate . Since I am sitting A380 upper deck , I went to another waiting area . There were only about 70 people . It was about boarding time , then suddenly there is this announcement , ' Miss Belinda Tan , if you are here , could you please contact our ground staff . ' I quickly stood up , super lots of eyes stare at me and their eyes followed me to the front desk of the boarding gate till I get back . I guess someone called them to check whether I am at the boarding gate , whether my boarding pass is chopped and stuff like that . I returned to my seat . Those 70 pairs of eyes still looking at me . I looked on the floor to avoid eye contact with them .

Board the plane and arrived at Changi Airport . Called sis , she asked me to walk around the airport to kill time . Since I don't have any baggage to collect . I took my own time to walk around . Checkout my all time favorite , BXXXXXXX . Then pass the immigration and bought alcohol for my friend . Then go to the belt to check whether my baggage is there . By the time I reached , there is only 7-8 bags left . I was asking around , whether its the belt for my flight . The person asked whether those here . I replied No and explained , I guess its might be next flight or next next flight . Then I asked him where can is the baggage claim counter . Then the person called out to his co-worker , ' She is here ! ' .

I was very very stunned ! He too very stunned . He double checked my identity again and start asking me some questions . He said , ' Actually , I am very confused . Before Melbourne , where are you ar ? ' . Then I explained , ' I was studying at Melbourne , coming back for holiday . ' I guess he was trying to recover from his shock , he had been waiting for me since baggages are released . He expect a stressful passenger , face-blacken whining away . To his surprise , he saw someone very clam, still can do a little shopping . He brought me to a clerk , where they arranged delivery to my house . He even asked me where am I from till I flash my Singapore passport . Then he looked too very puzzled . I think he never seen someone so calm after losing a 23 kg bag . He said that my baggage is found and it is on the 6 am flight . It will be delivered to me and no charges for the delivery .

Saturday ( 27/06 )

My baggage finally arrived . They called my handphone but I did not pick up . Then they called my residence , my mum picked it up and my sister woke me from my sleep ! They delivered by early noon , I was bathing at the time . When I came down from my room to the dinning room , I realized my bag is ripped apart . Only my clothes are left in the baggage . I now seriously don't know where are the food ! They also start munching on potato chips .

After that we head out . Shall not disclose where I go out else it will trigger a panicked . I can only say , I went out responsibly . I record where I went , took my temperature regularly . Very troublesome , luckily dad drove us around so I need not record which public transport I took . Else it is really very very troublesome .

Yesterday , I went out with little brother to watch transformer again ! Nice ! Ate sweet pop-corns because pop corns at melbourne are salty ones .

All from me for today .... bye ...

My dreams ( What I dreamt at night )

2009-06-20T11:27:00.004+08:00

My dreams ( What I dreamt at night )

Recently , its seem I had lots in my mind . I had at least two different dreams at night and I don't really like waking up to realized its a dream . I forgotten what I dreamt for the past few nights . But I remembered what I had dreamt last night . My first dream was family and I alighting a tour bus and heading to the fast food restaurant . In my dream , I did not saw my Dad and Brother , but I am sure they are with us on the tour . Then I was thinking what to eat at Xacdonalds , its so strange . It have only two types of burger , fillet-o-fish and Mc-chicken with nice chicken fillet , not like those in Xacs, Guild fries and other fried stuff , I only remember those I wanted to eat .

I ordered the two types of burgers , a meal and an apple pie. But I need not carry them because Sis helped me carry it . Strangely , I need not pay . Sis child me for ordering so much and wanted me to finish eating it . Then I saw Mum , she was asking some other people in the tour about where to get nice prawns . I was puzzled . Then I asked my mum to share the fast food with me because I ordered too much and she didn't order anything .

Then I was woke up by slamming of doors . Apparently , some residents are going home . I so jealous . I tried to get back to sleep .

Then I dreamt about my sister bringing me to a saloon that included facial . After having my hair washed , I can't stand waiting and my face is black. Waiting makes me paranoid . I am so lazy to even think about my next move after washing my hair . Sis made a wise choice by not asking me to chop off my hair , instead she asked me to do facial .

So a nice sales person brought me to do some cleaning thing . She apply some scrub on my face and my pimple scars are almost all gone . The she recommend another professional to teach me about make up . So the professional started off by oozing out white heads off my face . And I woke up by another slamming of doors . I guess , its time for them to do marketing at Victoria Market .

Me ... and my nice sleep . Nowadays ,I hardly sleep through the night . I guess its because every one is eager to get back home so they bought the earliest tickets and I am awaken by those slamming of doors . I hope its my turn soon . After all I will be back by X days . Sister had already planned some stuff for me . For the weekend I am back , we will have uncle weirdo and dim sum buffet .

There is a staggering increase in number of swine flu cases in Victorian , but there are still 100s of people entering Singapore without been caught by the virus . If I got it , I was be very very very unlucky .

For those who are scared of dying real soon by catching some virus from me , I say Good Luck to you then . As for precaution , I had bought a N95 mask to wear it from the Melbourne to Singapore . I still find it ugly . And its pure ugly . If I do not have any flu , cough , fever or any other symptoms on that day, I will resume my daily ritual and bounce around . I will officially free myself from checking my temperature , thrice per day after a week .Please don't tell me this and that , like I have to quarantine myself for seven days from the day I am back , I will use my hidden knowledge of vulgarities like there is no tomorrow .

Got to admit , the final paragraph is the meanest in my entire blog . I'm loving it ! Nice one , Belinda .Two more papers to go , X more days to home . Packing my luggage today , else last minute packing is not a good thing !

Second paper ...

2009-06-17T12:20:00.004+08:00

Second paper ...

Got to say , another suck paper . I spend one hour on the first question . When I realized I don't have enough time . I panicked and drifted through the paper . I see what is asked for and just did it blindly . I don't even remember subbing in the value . I just write and write . I drop my pen when the examiner said its time up . I didn't even bother to look through it because I knew my fate is sealed . I slot the question paper inside and waited for it to be collected . Packed my stuff and search for Nicole in the big big examination hall .

Manage to spot her when she is outside . Spoke to Felisha briefly , she was confident to pass . I seriously feel that I am in deep trouble . I seriously don't know what to feel(anxious ? worried ? scared ?) , after all I did my best that I can . Got to face it I guess . Then we head for dinner . I broke my XXXing plan , I finish the food . Luckily is not rice .

Head back home , bath and watch TV . I was watching a reality show , ' Homemade ' . Its about 10 designers competing against each other in designing a home . This team was suppose to win but because the female owner ( I seriously think she is ____ , her husband was ever ready to let it go , if she seriously does not like it , she could have renovate it herself after the show , after all the competitors are doing it for free ! ) dislike the kitchen due to some issues . That team was declare the losing team . The losing team will have one of its member eliminated . The other team mate explained to the judges that it was not their fault because they didn't know till much latter . The owner didn't emphasis , just said that she loved it , so the designers thought its the likes and dislikes issues , therefore it can be compromise . The team mate that is doing the kitchen was eliminated . The other team mate tried to take her place for elimination but the judges would not allow . I was super touched !

The usual two and the half man . Seriously , it never fails to bring laughter to me . I was laughing freakily loud ! If you happen to find videos of it . Do watch !

Today, I finally clean my room ! Its kind of dirty after more than one week . I can't imagine Evan's room because she said cleaning a room once every two weeks is good enough . I feel fresh in it ! The dust inside my room was horribly thick .

Currently , I am having a little rest before heading to my books . Dynamics is a hurdle for me . I need to pass it !

I just got a confirmation that I will be heading back . There are tons of food I want to eat and tons of stuff I want to do . But I am kind of scare to go back . First , I fail to buy my tickets earlier , so I won't be flying directly to Singapore . I will first fly to Sydney , then to Singapore . Kind of scary , because I need to transfer train . Its not like Singapore . If I have to pay for the train ticket so I am expecting it to be quite a distance .

Next , the swine flu . People coming back from Melbourne are getting swine flu . Apparently , I will be the carrier instead of the infected one . I am afraid passing on to my family . As for my friends , I guess I might quarantine myself a week before meeting you all . I guess thermometer and mask is a must now . The airport is filled with virus I guess .

All for now , I better go bath , meeting Nicole for dinner , hope I would not break my plan again ! Byeeeee .

The rambles ...

The rambles ...

I am finally out from my vegetarian style of meal . All thanks to Mr Campbell ! He had invented a ready meat dish . Today , I had stewed beef . It is so freaky delicious ! Just that and rice makes one meal . After I finish my lunch , Nicole suddenly called me and asked me about dinner. So I quickly open all my existing can food and prepared a meal . We had stewed beef , corn and campbell mushroom soup .

After dinner , she stayed at my room and we chatted till 2 am ! Had a great time . Just that I am on a XXXX , so we didn't snack or eat dessert . Manage to have some leftovers , which meant I need not cook anything tomorrow !

After my Accounts paper , I seem to lose all the concentration to study . I will watch television at 7 pm till 12 am , then head to bed . Feeling guilty right now . I guess I will start my regime as soon as possible .

Recently , I didn't had a good night sleep . I guess its because of my pillow . I sprain my neck and had been feeling the sore for 3 days . Any bed or pillow fair in Singapore . Talking about fair , there is IT fair in Singapore but I miss that out again . I am so sad .

Yesterday , Dad called me ! We had a nice chat . He told me that N97 is out in Singapore . I am so glad . I can't wait to lay my hands on it ! Will Dad get for me ... I really don't know . I had not make up my mind , I-phone , N97 or blackberry . Miss XX blogged about how nice blackberry is , I was very tempted to get one too ! The advertisement on I-phone also look tempting . But I been looking to N97 for a long time . I seriously don't know .

2 more day to my next exam . Wish me good luck ! All for now !

My first exam ...

2009-06-09T21:51:00.003+08:00

My first exam ...

Eeeeee ... my accounts paper suck a lot ! It seems to be crap paper , I told my mum is like toilet paper , you used it and throw it away instantly . We were all given 15 minutes to read the questions . I was freaky confident about it .

When I did it , I was breezing through from Question 1 to 3 . When its Question 4 , I realized its holy crap . Its 20 marks and I didn't have the confidence to nail it because its some data and it asked as to evaluate it . So I did a crap work out of it . Then I look back the marks allocated for the previous question , much work to be done yet little marks allocated .

I was thinking to myself , a Higher distinction grade is not possible now . Had to carry on and work through the rest .

After doing the test for two hours , the information gets more and more distorted . Follow my lecturer's tip and use my pencil and do BIG CROSS OUT . It feels so good . Manage to check through my paper once and caught some of my careless mistakes . Stop myself 5 minutes before time . Start packing my stuff up and prepare to leave .

The invigilator keep pick on me . He refuse to let me have my pencil box on the table even I open it up to show him that there is no paper inside . I have to spend 0.01% of my brain cells to think what I need during the exams , I almost empty my pencil box . Then he refuse to let me put my tissue pouch on the table . So I had to take out my tissue paper . Whatever ... shall do what ever it takes to be compliance with the exam rules .

Super lots of people taking accounting exam . I couldn't even find my friends . I mange to see two class mates .

Weather here is crazy , its like suddenly heavy rain , then next moment , big sunny sun . Then heavy rain again ... terrible weather ...

All for today , I hope for a better weather tomorrow ...

Exams ...

2009-06-06T11:50:00.004+08:00

Exams ...

3 more days to my first exams ... 4 papers to go ... 19 more days for my semester exams to come to an end . But , exams are not my very concern . I am staying in Melbourne , the state that is greatly hit by Swine Flu . Are there going to be exams ? How clean is the air I am breathing . Most importantly , will I be able to go home . I wanted to go home badly .

My life did changed due to swine flu . I had phobia of going out . Since they are 800 + people in Victoria that has it and majority of them are in Melbourne . There is a possibility of me getting in contact with someone that has swine flu or a carrier . I am just scared .

I checked my school email everyday to see if the exams will be cancelled . Because my exams are held in those big sports hall that can house up to 2000 people . I am so scared ...

Yesterday , I went out with Nicole to get thermometer and mask . I went to get it because my sister and my mum urged to get it . Just in case it will be sold out like in Singapore . I went to take a look and decided not to get it . The mask is just pure ugly . Its not like those paper ones , its those moulded mask , like those teddy bear nose and mouth . Nope ... Not getting it , just pure ugly .

As for my studies part , I manage to concentrate more and more each day . I learning to like the course and understand the concept . I am not confident whether I have grasp the topic till I have done the tutorial . Hope good news for me .

Updates on my blog will be lesser unless it is those major ones . Most of my time will be spend on studying . Wish me all the best k ?

All for now ... byeee and I miss Singapore ...

Blog is not abandoned ...

Blog is not abandoned ...

For the past few days , I had been busy with my school stuff. Currently , I had just finish submitting all my stuff to the school . By right , the actual dateline is last Friday . But there are too much stuff due on the same day . I work through the weekends to clear it . Boring ... School is boring ... I wanna go home !

I don't feel like uploading pictures of me , I guess I had been bloated by the quantity food here . I miss the after breakup Me . The refuse to eat Me . I hope I can slim down as soon as possible . I wish I can still wear nice clothes .

Today is the second day of my study week and I had not started studying . I finish cleaning my room on Monday and washing the truck load of clothes today . Then I meet Nicole to shop for grocery . Then back to my beauty regime . Hahas ...

For the past few days , I had been busy with school stuff . Trying to finish up all assignments and hand it up on Monday . The presentation on Friday suck . Mainly because I only left 50 seconds for my part . I only speak for 50 seconds when I am suppose to speak for 2.4 minutes .

All thanks to Mr Z ! He said super lots of stuff in front and took away my time . He is going to let our group down . First , he did his powerpoint slides in class , he did not even do his part at home . Then when we met in the morning . A person with responsibility should have started doing his slides . He spend his time commenting on the picture I took . Then retook the picture. Then he did his slides when the other groups were presenting . The lecturer will mark us down for not paying attention during other group's presentation .

When it is our turn to present , he dropped a bomb . He said he had even added a slide after me called ' Reflection ' . I knew he want to take on the questions slides . I did not say anything because the lecturers were there , it will make us look bad . As the presentations went on , I realized he deleted some other group member's slide . We were a little shock and tried to work on it smoothly . When its my turn , as I am the last speaker , I got cut . I was a little happy because , there is two ' Reflection ' slide in the presentation . It doesn't look good on us so I felt that its better I got cut during the conclusion , after all I am doing the closing .

When it was the question and answer , he dominated the entire answering process . He purposely stand a step in front of us , ignoring all of us . He didn't have eye contact with us . He did it all by himself , look super bad on himself . He even got rude when everyone asked about budget part . I guess he wanted be piss with me for re-emphasizing that we had burst the budget during the conclusions . He didn't because he knew I didn't say finish what I prepared.

When we got back to our seats , my group mate deliberately brought it up that I did not cover my slides , he asked sarcastically that is it him saying too much stuff in front that caused me to have shortage of time . I did not bother to answer him . I am glad my lecturer is near , she can hear everything . She is one that does like to listen to our little chats .

He secretly assessed another group without asking our opinion . Of course , he felt guilty about cutting my part . So when I said I want to see it . He show it to me . Then I asked another group mate to change to a higher mark . No one said anything , maybe they hope that the another group will be the same as we had . Then he blow his own cover by saying , ' Are they that good ? ' . We all ignore him .

Finally, its all over , I am so happy ! After presentation , I had to tie up some loose ends .

All for tonight ...

I am in love with my Macbook !

2009-05-23T14:46:00.004+08:00

I am in love with my Macbook !

FINALLY , all of you will not receive virus messages from me . I recently did a system update and phew ~ ... all the virus are gone ! Anyway , just keep me updated if you still receive any from me after seeing this blog post ...

My Professional Practice Three project was a success , we manage to do it within 6 seconds ! Finally my friday is free ! For this module , currently left editing of reports , doing powerpoint slides and presentation and I am finally freeeee ... Evan and Nicole came to watch my group , I am so happy . Evan stayed with me for the whole Tuesday , she witness how Z is liked . I am not lying ...

I had become a irritating person , I emailed my group mates , 2 times on thursday , 3 times on Friday and 1 time today . I completed the report and send it to them . Then suggest about how we should do the powerpoint , then split the parts and get them to choose their parts . And then , update them with the final allocation of parts . In the process of doing this , I felt like I am an irritating aunty ... grrr ... PP3 please end quicky ... I don't want to be Aunty ...

As usual , today is my cleaning day and my beauty regime day , nothing special anyway .

Yesterday , I woke up early in the morning to go for my materials test . I was intending to go home to sleep . Nicole asked me out for breakfast since we hardly be up so early . Tried Hungry Jack's breakfast , it was super nice ! Then I reached home at 11.30 . Reading the email from my group members and emailed them again . Then meet Evan at 12 pm .

I brought her to Smith Street to do some shopping . We went to factory outlet like Adidas and Nike from 12.30 pm till 4.30 pm . Her total damage is $140 , as for me ... its just $2 . Shall not elaborate on what I bought . Miss Evan ! Don't say it out .

Then I meet Nicole for dinner , she bought me to a new shop to have clay pot rice . Then we head to watch Night at the Museum II . Super hilarious ! They still have Dumb Dumb , do you have Gum Gum and also new one like The Thinker : I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ... the monkeys too , very cute when they slap Larry . The Pharaoh too , when they asked him why is he dressed in a skirt , then he emphasis that it is a tulip , see he emphasis till I remembered such small detail . Of course , there are lots more to laugh about .

Though the movie is two hours , I still can't get enough of it ! I am glad I did watched this ! I felt so energetic after watching the movie even though I had only 5 hours of sleep the night before .

Currently , I am waiting for Nicole to reach the city so that I can have my dinner as soon as possible .

Usuals ...

2009-05-16T21:51:00.003+08:00

Usuals ...

Today , I begin the day with the usuals : housework + beauty regime . I seriously have no idea when is it going to end with the housework . I often wish that Mr Dad is rich enough to hire someone to clean my room and wash my clothes for me . I guess that won't happen uh ? Maybe some random fairy heard that and grant my wish ...

Yesterday , I was in a gloating mood . I snapped at Z , my group mate . I guess I really was at my wits . He sounded sarcastic asking what I was doing and I was under stress . So I wasn't nice when I replied him. I was typing our group report and he stood behind me reading away . I could have snap at him again . Next he irritated me by asking why this group mate did not come , I am clearly on my controlled state talking to him . Because he does that to me all the time , he thought I would be my usual me , keeping quiet ... I guess maybe I had enough .

After several snaps at him , he finally got it and helped around . Stop his usual chat and do some work . After two successful run , we decided to call it a day.

Doing the project really drains me out , often I work from morning to evening . Yesterday was horrible , I even forgotten to eat . I was so tried that I am so tried that I slept without eating . When I woke up , its was dark . I decided to head out for something even though I am not hungry . Ate a little and do some grocery shopping .

Then Nicole called, we head to crown for cakes , since I am so happy . I used to feel bad for been mean . Yesterday , I was happily gloating away .

School days were normal ... can't wait to go back home ...

Temptations ...

2009-05-09T16:17:00.004+08:00

Temptations ...

There are many temptations in this world . Which are the ones you can resist ? For me , I guess I can resist the temptation of drinking alcohol and smoking . I miss clubbing , every time when I hear those clubbing music , I felt the urge to club . I am not a fan of alcohol , but when I club , I tend to drink a little so that I am not conscious about the way I move . I makes me more smiley than usual , more at ease . I do miss but I can say NO to that . I can resist the temptation of clubbing !

Shopping is one temptation I hardly resist . The only reason I manage to resist its because my conscience took over me . Like yesterday , I wanted to get a pair of Adidas shoes , not those running ones , but those lady shoes by Stella Mc-Something . It had my favorite ribbon and its white in color . When the SA asked about my size , I said 9-10 ? But I tried it on , I realized it was kind of loose , then she said , ' I think its 8 then '. I was so happy , I am size 8 ? Hahas ... Then I tried on size 8 , my toes are a little cramp up . Its is the bEl from the past , I will 100 % get it , a little discomfort is worth it after all its a pair of good looking shoes . Good shoes don't always show up ! ( I am very strict with my selection of stuff , I don't give in to stuff that is different what I like easily ) . Then the bEl angel turned up said , " Buy stuff that you can wear comfortable so that I will not get blister at the end of the day . " Phew ! Luckily I didn't buy , its cold , that's why foot is a little smaller than usual. Saved $120 ...

I was randomly looking at sprees and found a really worth it offer . Buying bags at wholesale price ! Its like so freaky, $XX for a medium size bag with postage . The irritating part was , my i-banking key is with me ! And I felt that its worth that and bought it ! Such bag in Bugis could go up $30 . Good that it is small damage .

Last week , Val intro me to a new facial product . It is for treating the facial problems I had . It helps her and so she recommend to me . Upon hearing , I got excited and went out to buy . Currently , I see some results . Can you imagine ? $XX for a little tube . But seems like its a normal for such strong products . Within one week , there is result, can't wait till after one month to see what's my face is going to be like ? The only side effect I had was skin drying . I had to reduce my application to one per day . The trial moisturizer is also useful , after one application , my face was not that dry anymore . Its a worthy damage .

Food is something sometimes , I can resist , sometimes I just can't . Today , I went to Victoria Market . I wanted to get frozen food and salmon . End up , I bagged broccoli , lemon , mandarin orange and fried fish and chips . Total damage : $30 ! On food ? yes ... I did ...

Summary of Miss Tan's temptations ... she loves shopping and a food-lover and a little occasional clubbing... [ Shout out: I am not party queen ! ]

Today , I start with my usual regime . Cleaning of house then facial enhancement . Hahas ... I made it sound so nice . I am glad my face still absorbing the essences of dainty mask . Today , I used aloe vera . Its good for moisturizing and since my face is dry . After applying the mask , my face don't feel dry anymore and tight ! 80 cents mask ! Hahas ... cheap and good !

I hope I can finish using my dainty mask because I wanna try the mask my sister bought from Taiwan . Wo De Mei Li Ri Ji . Kind of expensive to buy from spree , they charge $1.30 per piece . Not inclusive postage and handling . My sister bought it at $10 per box or slightly below $10 . One box , there is 10 pieces . I haven't used that because I want to finish using my dainty mask . I have a box of lavender and apple . I hope to have the full set so that I can change flavor like what I am doing now . Hahas ... me and my indulgences ...

I was tempted to get post a picture of me with my mask since Val asked me to post pictures, but I have kindly not do so , I don't want to scare you people off .

Currently , I am reading Twilight . Its a good book , I regret not watching the movie because I thought it is a scary movie . It is like Harry Potter books . I seriously didn't expect to find something I like to read after Harry Potter . I thought since , there is no more Harry Potter , my addiction with books will end . Irony ...

All for today ... else you all will doze off while reading ...

An old song school song ...

2009-05-07T20:54:00.007+08:00

An old song school song ...

Recently ... this song keep popping up into my head ... I give you the lyrics ... I guess that rings a bell ...

I never had a dream come true 'til the day that I found you

Even though I pretend that I've moved on you'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say  (Never found the words to say)

You're the one I think about each day  (The one I think about each day)

And I know no matter where life takes me to A part of me will always be with you

Guess its ? ...Yup ... its from S club 7 ; never had a dream come true ...

Nice song ...

My usuals ...

2009-05-06T12:26:00.003+08:00

My usuals ...

Today is finally a Wednesday ! I am so happy about it . Yesterday , after my accounts tutorial class , I packed Hungry Jack's for dinner backed home and pig it out ! I saw my usual favorite television program , two and the half man ( PG version ) , then countdown 20 to 1 all time scandal , then two and the half man ( M version ) , then chef Gordon Ramsy with kitchen nightmare and hell's kitchen .

I had a great TV time ! I had a great rest after two hectic days of studies . Shows here are more open , they used to show Secret diary of a call girl which is a complete No for Singapore TV . Two and the half man is talking about Sex in the leisure yet open manner . But I still missed Singapore television dramas , those familiar artists' faces and cable television with Hong Kong , Korean , Japanese , Taiwan dramas and Taiwan Talk shows .

On Monday , I ended early for my Accounts lecture and head straight to Nicole's house for dinner . She wasn't expecting me to be so early at her house and so she is not ready . She planned to cook finish just when I arrived at her room so that the food would not be cold . She told me to drink the soup first . Its was super nice ! I was eating my usual NOs ; carrots and onions that is in the soup . It was cold outside and the soup made me feel better . I kept drinking and drinking till there si only half pot left moreover the dinner is not ready !

I had to stop myself from drinking anymore soup and start pinching on the other food on the table . I felt so guilty about it . Hahas ... and finally she is ready ... Ta Dang ...

There is luncheon meat , sweet and sour pork , chicken with mu er , vegetables , the carrot and onion soup is on another table , this table is too small . And we started eating . I was so hungry that I ate finish everything . Maybe it is because I didn't had much rice during lunch . Hahas ... I had a good dinner anyway .

After eating , I helped to washed up . Then I watched desperate housewives and head back home . And then I drowned into my deep sleep .

Today , I did my laundry as per normal . Cooked my lunch and stayed home all day . Just a glance out the window, I just realized that the sky darken , I guess heavy rain is going to pour . Phew ! I am so lucky ... Oh ya , I don't have cough anymore ! :)

All for today ... hope you enjoyed ! Next update will be on Friday onwards ... hope there is something happening I can blogged about else it will just be my normal rambles .

Finally ... its the weekend ...

2009-05-02T12:54:00.004+08:00

Finally ... its the weekend ...

Yesterday morning , I had my Engineering Material's test . I anticipated that it will be tough and I tried to spot the trend and memorize some of the facts . The test was indeed tough and to my dismay , she gave a question out of my anticipation . A question on how Hydrogen causes steel to be less tough . In my head , I only remembered that hydrogen causes steel to be less tough , I did not memorize how and why . I was quite tormented by that question because the entire question was 5 marks and the test is upon 30 marks . I discussed with Nicole and she too did not anticipated that,instead we both memorize the facts about fibers and resin . Gosh ... hard to read a lady's mind , harder to read a lady lecturer's mind .

After the test , I was very sleepy but I had to go for my project meeting . In wasn't fruitful because we had asked the lab tech to help us with the spacer but he wasn't in the lab . We couldn't do anything so we decided to split some work among ourselves to be done at home . But the question I had in mind was , ' Did everyone seriously have something to do ? ' .

Once I reached home , I feel like going to Brouke street to get a facial product recommended by Val . But I felt so tired and I had to give up on the idea . Mainly because I studied till 1 am and woke 6 the next morning to prepare for the test again . Actually , when I wake up , I did not manage to cramp much into my head . I made myself good breakfast , bath and even dried my hair .

Then I collasp onto my bed . When I wake up , I realized my room is very very dark , I got scare and reach for my clock . Those when you touched it , it will light up and I realized it was 6 ! I had slept for 5 hours ! Its horrible ! I quickly switched on my room light and message Nicole if she wants dinner . Luckily , she was at the school doing her quiz and had not eaten .

We met up at my hostel and went to Lygon for creamy mushroom pasta ! Then we shop around big W and Safeway to digest a bit before heading to Churos for spanish donuts as dessert ! Then we head to Coles so that she can get more food . I saw the luncheon meat at Safeway and asked Nicole whether she knows how to cook it . Then she said she knows and describe how she would cook it . And I say , " Ok , if I go to your house for dinner , can you cook it for me and she said ok ! . " Cool , I settled one of my dinner !

After dinner , I waited for my family to skype with me . Then my sister ring me . I explained that I had miss a call from her in the afternoon because I was asleep . I told her I slept from 1.30 pm to 6 pm . She was horrified . I asked her to show me the stuff she bought for me from BKK . She show them to me .

This is the bag she bought for me . :

( The picture is not taken by me , I got it from the web site . )

Also , she bought me stuff from that series too , like tissue pouch , comestic case , sunglass case and many others . She got the old marketing bag with a big ribbon from the same series for Mum . I guess I am going to kop that from Mum if she is not using it . Muhahahas ... Real sis also bought me some other random stuff from pirated Naraya shop and some other random shops .

The she told me about her experience about while getting this bag for me . She said initially , the shop at Isetan doesn't have it . She was put on the waiting list but the waiting list was long . She and her friend , Stella decided to take a train to another hotel to get it . Since her friend , stella wants to get that for her Mum , then I jumped ' Her Mum ? That makes my bag so old ' . Then sis super fu yan replied ,' Ya , it is a auntie bag . '' and continue her story about how lucky she was when she got to that hotel , there were two left .

I asked her about how Bangkok , she said everything is quite peaceful . Naraya is still full of people . The wholesale stuff got ridiculously expensive . Price increased everywhere . The Mos burger there allow you to change your fries to butter prawns . Stupid Sis got me the brochure of Mos burger ...-_-!!!

My life with enemy Mr Swine Flu , yesterday I went for test and the room was very quiet . Then I started coughing . Then people in the room start coughing . If you imagine the scenario , it will be so hilarious . Everyone is so afraid of coughing because they are afraid of being suspected having swine flu . Its is cold here , thus we tend to cold . My cough is getting better , less frequent than before .

Today , as usual , I had cleaned my room and washed my clothes . But I did my beauty regime a day earlier because last week was a cold week . My skins starts to dry a little faster . Strangely , this time round , my mask din feel as good as the last time . Never mind about it , I will continue using it and see how it goes . Feel so good to feel that my face is soft and springy ... Hahas ...

Plans for tonight is to start clearing my mountain of homework . I must endure ... 1 month left before my final battle !

My rambles again ...

2009-04-29T20:16:00.003+08:00

My rambles again ...

As usual , my Mondays and Tuesdays are packed with classes and finally , its the Wednesday ! I am so happy its the Wednesday , I am able to rest . Normally , I will try to finish some homework and stuff but in view of the test on Friday , I shall have all my focus on that .

Yesterday , my group mate , Z , asked me whether I had swine flu because I was coughing away . Another group mate , I , jumped into my defense and said I haven't gone to Mexico . If any Aussie friends of mine reading this blog , I am not having any swine virus . It is just that the weather is cold , and then I start coughing . When I am back at my room , I was okie .

Me and another , G, went to the lab today . Because the lab tech promised to help us with our spacer . And he said he forgotten about us ! He quickly took our measure and went for lunch . But when he exit the lab , another group when to asked him for help . I guess his lunch will be delayed again .

My sister just came back from Bangkok yesterday . She bought me many many Naraya stuff . Hahas , she is so excited to show it to me . I am excited to see too ! I heard from Mum that she bought entire set for me !

Nothing special anyway . Hahas ... stay tuned for my next update !

Another week has gone ...

2009-04-26T13:42:00.003+08:00

Another week has gone ...

I am getting closer and closer to the semester examinations . Currently on the road to buck up . Receive my exams results , not pleased with it because I know I can work harder ! Started off my day by waiting for the clock to tick till 11.30 and I started to clean my room . I find that it is reasonable to start cleaning at 11.30 because everyone should be awake and not be annoyed by the noise of my vacuum cleaner .

I am suppose to do my housework yesterday but the lecturer set an online quiz on that day . I had no choice but to do it on that day else it will expire and I will be in deep trouble . I started my spirit of an ant since 11 am . After doing the practice test , I am quite confident to pass the quiz . Then when I do the quiz , it was different from what is on the practice test , I felt so cheated . I manage to just pass it ... When I look at the clock , it was 4 pm ! I quickly bath and ate my lunher ...

Weeks are as per normal , this coming Friday morning , I will have a test . I MUST study hard for that . My group project currently still ok . Manage to get both device moving . I am so glad . Its not a stand still anymore . Phew ! Assignment , lab reports , homework , journal , all these need to be clear . I try do my very very best .

Blogging with a mask on my face , felt so good because I can feel that the skin absorbing the essence . Hahas ... Also blogging doesn't need much face expression so my face can keep still . Hahas ... I hope to get my porcelain face back ! Talking about face , I realized that facial products is seriously important . I used to wash my face with XXXX XXXX facial cleanser and within 2 weeks , it ruin my face . Now using face shop cleanser , my T-zone would not be that oily anymore . Face shop products here are cheaper than those in Singapore . The popular mug bean ( Green Bean ) facial cleanser is $10 here per tube .

Weather here is freaky cold . The maximum is below 15 degrees . Wind is super strong , the dustbins are flying everywhere . Its makes me sad and inactive . I finally understand why those cambridge markers get so sad during winter . Cold = gloomy thus not wanting to move about much .

All for this week ... bye ...

Surprise ... Surprise ...

2009-04-18T14:00:00.005+08:00

Surprise ... Surprise ...

Are you all surprise ? To see my recent blog update so regularly ? I felt so guilty for neglecting my blog . I realized how beautiful the blog skin is . I just couldn't bear to change the blog skin after 500 and +++ days . All thanks to my iemnimihs . How could I not blog ?

Yesterday , I watch Fast and Furious with Nicole . I enjoyed the thrill I felt during the movie but too bad , the first one is still the best , followed by the previous one . I hasn't figure out is the theme songs for this movie . I loved the part whereby they change the gear , step on the clutch and accelerator ; oh ya and the drifting part ! While watching the movie , I missed my clubbing days , the song's in the movie were just the right songs !

Talking about clutch , I kinda of miss manual car . I am holding a manual car license yet I have not drive a manual car since the day I got my license . I remembered I got super piss when the ' dumb dumb ' car over-reacted by jumping violently or the ' dumb dumb' engine just died on me . I was green with envy when I was inside the circuit whereby the Autos had their smooth ride . I was also full of regret and almost wanted to change to auto car when there is instructor who advice me to change to auto car because he seriously thinks that I can't drive manual car . Those were the days ...

Before I went for movies with Nicole , Evan and I went to do grocery shopping . I wanted to get a body exfoliator because my skin is coming to look like the Crocs' ones . It all started from not having the habit to apply moisturize . In Singapore , I do not have dry skin at all , but the air here is quite dry , thus , it caused my skin to go dry .

Sidetrack a bit , the air here is doing my face good . From oily skin I once had , my face condition had become combination skin . I miss my ' before 20 ' face . Now , it has lots of after-war debris . Currently , my face is under control , no more outbreaks . So my next step of skin care is whitening . I am indirectly-force to take care of my face , I felt sad after seeing many pimples scars . Scurb , mask , toner , moisturizer and essence ; I had to faithfully do them weekly . There is a price to pay for everything you want .

Then we end up shop for clothes . She bought a black colour jacket while I got a Cardigan and a Vee Neck Knit Top from Cotton On. I was pleased with my buy because both the Cardigan and Vee Neck Knit Top will thin yet able to keep me warm . I was kind of scared my real Sis might ROAR at me for buying clothes again . But she didn't , she thinks that I should get them here , those I bought in Singapore are not suitable here .

Today , I started my Saturday with the cleaning ritual . Felt super happy to see my room clean and tidy . Should be staying home today .

Stay tuned for the next update ... -_= !

First Day of School ...

2009-04-16T23:54:00.003+08:00

First Day of School ...

Today is the first day of school after a week break . I felt so rejuvenated that I am able to wake up promptly at 9 am . Normally , I will lazed on the bed till 9.30 and jumped up in hurry to prepare for my classes . There is a price to pay when you miss lessons . I need not go for any classes today but because I had missed lesson on Monday , I had to go for another class today .

Bearing in mind , yesterday was a super chilly day . I wore my sweater and brought along my jacket . I am glad it wasn't as cold as yesterday because the sun is out . I walked quickly to the venue as it is far and I am afraid I will late . When I arrived at the lecture theater , there are heaps of people waiting outside . I am glad the previous lecture has not ended else I would not get a good seat .

Finally , the lecturer ended his lecture but he has not ended his session . Many people started walking leaving his voice trail behind , ' Remembered to ... blah blah blah ... ' . My favourite seat is near the exit of the theater . So that when the lecture ends , I will leave the theater immediately . If I have taken the center seat , most probably is because my friend came first , and so I join her by the side . Else , its alway , the left or the right .

My accounts class was okie . I like attending the Thursday class because the lecturer will point out some stuff , like taking note of the differences between this and this , or an example of this and this , or don't mix up this and this term , unlike some lecturer who read out the powerpoint slides or misuse the time . Today lecture is about Classification statement and BAD DEBT or DOUBTFUL DEBT . As the name implies , I shall not explain . Copy three balance sheets and I have not review it yet .

Next is materials class , as usual , the rattling of materials about its properties at different conditions . I was listening and copying notes , and now , I am wondering what I had learnt . The only good news we got was our journal 3 got postpone because we cannot do until today's lesson . Also partly because lecturer is ill and she had not finish marking our Test 1 and Journal 2 .

After materials class , Nicole and I went to the library . We had to complete our lab report and hand in tomorrow . Sat down and we discuss , I was in-charged of the graph while she did the calculations . As we compared the experimental value and the theoretical value , the difference was thousand miles apart . I tried different method and finally gave up on the new method . Because it is obviously wrong . So as we came to an agreement that we will continue from where we stop . She change her pencil marks to ink pen while I do the discussion . We left the library at 7 ( Enter at 3.30 ) . She said that was the longest we stayed in the library , I was thinking was I that bad .

We head out for dinner . It was chilly and I wanted hot soup . She decided korean restaurant and so I have pan fan and egg soup ( mostly egg , hardly have any soup ) . Its was great but I don't really felt filled . So we went round window shopping . Randomly looking at stuff , checking the price of the champagne we got from party world . Hers was about $9 and party world charge customers $38 . Mine was $38 and party world charge $68 . I was overwhelmed by the big difference . But come to think of it , the coke, honey lemon tea is less than $1 and they charge $9 . Which is more worth it ? The only console was we didn't have to literally pay for it .

After window shopping , we went to Star-Bucks for drinks and cake . I order white choc mocha and tiramisu . I felt great ! Especially on a chilly day . I felt so relax . I will be slacking at home again since my project mates felt that there is no need to meet tomorrow .

Okie ... bed is calling me le ... got to go le ... bye bye

A post after a month ...

2009-04-12T22:26:00.004+08:00

A post after a month ...

While I was checking my blog , I felt so guilty , its been a month since I last updated . Am I really that busy ? I don't know . Maybe I felt that I don't have good pictures so I don't feel like updating my blog ?

I went to St Kida beach to check out penguins . I didn't know till Evan's friend brought us there . From left to right , shi yuan ( Joanna ) , Evan and me ... Penguins are hiding in between the rocks and so there is no good pictures of them .

Next up its the Mobai/Mobay water festival . Went over there to watch fireworks . Went there with Nicole , then Evan meet us there to watch fireworks .

That day , when I went to Casino with Evan , happen that there is motor show . So I took some a picture with the old old car .

After all these , practically back to my routine life . Monday , Tuesday , and alternate Thursday I will go to school . Wednesday , I will do my washing and maybe head out to stock up my frigde . Friday morning I will meet my project mates . Then Saturday , washing and cleaning of house . Slack till monday , and the cycle repeats ...

Currently my school closes for the semester , that's why I had the time to blog . Weeks were horrible before the semester break . Datelines and test , they all seem to come at the same time and so currently I had a relaxed holiday . I guess I should be studying real soon . Start to clear some of my assignments before it gets pile up again .

Yesterday , I went to sing K with Nicole and her friend , Lin . Hahas , we manage to get along . Lin is on a working holiday visa . She had completed her masters one year ago and so she is on a working holiday visa . To have fun and work and the same time . She is from Taiwan . She's a typical Taiwanese girl . I admire her courage , she went to perth to work as domestic helper , then to Tasmania to work in the farm and that's how she came to know about Nicole and then since Sunday , she went to Melbourne to tour a bit . She is now in Singapore . Staying there for two nights , and then to Bangkok for a few nights and then head back to Taiwan .

We went to KBox initially but it was fully booked . Then we went to Partyworld . It was also fully booked . 4 rooms were booked , 3 at 10 pm . So I asked the person what is the holding time . She said 30 minutes . And so from 10 pm , we waited till 10.30 pm . And finally , we got a room . Its $280 for the room but u have $280 credit to order food and drinks. So we pig it out and had fun . We sang till 3 am . We didn't manage to finish our credit . So we ended up , ordering 2 bottle of champagne . One is with me , the other is Nicole . I seriously don't know what to do with it .

F1 race ended 2 Saturdays ago , I was disappointed because I couldn't go . Tickets here are much cheaper then in Singapore because I quality for student discount . I heard that those who bought it at main entrances do not have that . Price before discount is $99 , price after student discount was $68 . And its not those faraway view but those next to the track . I was green with envy when I saw the pictures my friend's friend took . I guess the tickets in Singapore are much expensive and they do not have student discounts . And you have to see it from super faraway .

I manage to watch the movie here in Melbourne, ' He's not that into you ' with Evan . She happened to have this free movie ticket coupon and so she asked me along to watch the movie . I wanted to watch this movie for some time but I didn't had the opportunity . Shi yuan was nice , she didn't want to watch the movie and gave up her coupon to me . Evan will want to claim credit for this because she will say she asked Shi Yuan for the movie tickets .

I prefer the movie a lot because it is happy ending ! The book is realistic and practical . I agree with the idea-logy of the rule and the exception . The ending in the movie is exception . The book basically tells you signs of whether the guy is into or not into you . So irritating , where is the happy ending when you put stuff to a full-stop . Grrr ... roar ... Currently , reading a book called confession of a shopaholic , its so half me , and half not me ...

Yesterday , I finished watching perfect cut I and II . I am so so in loved with the theme song; its those meaningful ones . There is this sentence I find it very meaningful , ' Words are not to hurt but to say I love you . ' . I realized that as we grow , we more words we learnt , the more hurtful we are . Words that are positive : pretty , beautiful , clever , intelligent , smart , clever , nice ( learnt it at an age of 6/7?).... negative : bitch , whore , slut , mean , evil , whore , stupid , brainless , lazy ( learnt it at a age of 15/16 ?) ... . I could easily chant out negative words than possible words ; not to mention phrases . These tell us what ?

Anyway , I liked the show a lot . Had to skip those parts whereby Doctor Tan did surgery . I used to find it irritating because perfect cut often aired before my departure to Melbourne . I managed to catch the series on Tu Duo . Maybe its a blessing in disgust , I had the full episode so I need not wait and watch one episode per day .

I finally had a facebook account . I am seriously not into it . Jing wants me to sign out for it because she wants to send me a message . Touch* . Hope she does well in both in her work and school . Miss her ... Also sec school friends ... Fave 38s lik Mavis and Val , missya , Mirabel too with the YSSSL ... wonder how are they . Hopefully I can go back in June to meet all of you ...

I guess all for tonight ... hope I didn't bored you all to death ... plans for tomorrow are , checkout Bundoora and wash my bed sheets ...

3 big things ...

2009-03-14T09:21:00.004+08:00

3 big things ...

Dear all ~ ...

Sorry for not updating regularly as I promised it the last . Life had been kind of happening since I had arrived . Thus I had neglected my books too .To all people who are concern about me ... wanna let you know that I am doing fine and I missed you all ... I had been to many places and often forgotten to bring my digital camera thus I did not any pictures to upload .

Let me share some significant event ...

First off is about my flight from Singapore to Melbourne ...

Though I had taken a plane for many many times , I felt kind of excited and a little scare because this time round , I am flying back to Melbourne on my own . Had my last Singapore dinner at Changi Airport Terminal 3 Crystal /Jade Restuarant . Not very fanastic expect for the ' tang bao ' . Then after taking some pictures , I enter the boarding gate . The final reminder was if I missed the flight , please don't be like the Xong Xong Auntie rolling on the floor .

After boarding the flight , I was happy with my seat because it is a window seat and I am sitting at the last row of the section . Of course ! I choose the seats online . I was waiting for the plane to take off as the view of Singapore will be nice from the top .

Then , suddenly , this ground staff address me , " Miss Tan , Miss Tan ... This gentleman wants to swop seats with you . " I was like , phew ... off my good seat . " Then the ground staff said , ' To the front , its a business class . ' I didn't react to it . I kept thinking about my good seat is gone , then I realized that the front section is business class . Then I asked the person is he serious . Some guy wants to sit with his girlfriend so I got the seat ???

When I was over at the business class , the first thing they asked is , how do I want them to address me . I am still in the stun and blur mode . Luckily , the leading stewardess was nice and kindly explained the rational behind . Then I was asked to decide what drink I want to have , then I asked what drink they have , then she start rambling about the different types of champenge and wine . I decided to cut her and asked if they have soft drinks , and she replied yes .Then I asked for a coke . Then I have to decide to have it before take off or after take off .

Just when I thought I could find out what movie they currently have . I was interrupted again . This type round I had to decide what I want to eat . I simply glance on the menu picked either of the set . When she came round and asked what I want to have , I simply pointed at the set I wanted to eat . Then she asked which one , I stun again , because I then realized that its main courses , not set . Then she asked again , do I want it after take off or before landing .

It was time for take off , then I realized something is pushing my leg ! I then realized that I had accidentally hit the button . I was panicky because I know everything has to be default for take off . I quickly just to adjust it back .

After take off , I watch how the other passengers assemble their video sets from the compartment and I follow the same . Then they start distributing headsets to us . OMG ! The headsets were awesome ! It has good sound system and even block off surrounding sound . I couldn't hear what was around . Then I start adjusting the chair . It could almost go 180 degrees .

After watching the movie , I went into a deep sleep and slept for 5 hours till its meal time . I could sense there is motion and realized that someone is giving out towels . I open my eyes a little and the air stewardess saw it and also give me a towel . After wiping my hands , I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't .

Then its meal time , I was quite excited to be served . To my dismay , a large tray is served yet there are little things on it . I thought that was breakfast and maybe I missed my meal time . Then they asked what I want for beverages . I wanted coffee and apple juice . The air stewardess will help us pour the creamer into the coffee and stir it properly for us . After finishing my fruits , the steward will remove the fruit dish and placed the main course . I had ordered prawn mushroom noodle . Its was so delicious . The prawns were more than the size of a 50-cent coin and there were at least 10 of it .

Then during exit , I was given a slip of paper that says express . And its really express , I didn't get any custom checks and off I head to the exit ...

Second big thing is ... I went for the Momba water festival . Its a free event with lots of fireworks . I did record the first part of the fireworks till my handphone max its memory limit . When I learnt how to post video on my blog , I can show it to you . Its not as good as those in Singapore , mainly it is shot off a small platform and the platforms were near the audience , there for the fireworks were shot at a shorter height .

When the fireworks display ends , the ashes dropped onto my body and even my eyes ! Some of the fireworks were nice . Watching fireworks really make my day !

Third big thing is ... last Monday was Aussie public holiday , I went Crown casino to play with Evan . She lost $10 in less than a hour by playing big amount . As for me , I was intending to lose $3 dollars to the Casino because its a casino . End up , I won $3 by play 1-cent Jackpot machine in about 2 hours . Evan really dai sai ... when she is around , I lost $1 straight . When she is not around , $1 , $1.50 keep coming to me ...

All for tonight , I am tired ... Byeeeee ...

Sudden updates ...

2008-12-18T00:26:00.005+08:00

Sudden updates ...

Due to Ms Tan and her laziness , I had decided to post the climax of my 2 weeks holiday trip . Tokyo Disney ! I had taken lots of pictures to the extend I am lazy to post them up . The picture below is taken by my brother ! Sis and my parents go for those slow rides while my brother and I went for the fast ones . He was disappointed because he wanted to ride on the roller coaster like the California but Tokyo Disneyland does not have it .

The Winnie the Pooh ride is the best , not because I am crazy about Pooh but because it is thrilling . Its just too bad that I can't understand Japanese language . We can only look at the beautiful decoration and looking out for Winnie the Pooh during the ride . We were helping him to find hunny ...

As usual , queue for rides is a killer . Stuff there are quite expensive but the pop corn tumbler and the ticket holder lanyard is a must buy because everyone has one . The pop corn tumbler cost about $16 SGD .

All for night ... stay tune for my sudden updates ...

Currently , I had been watching TV all day . Catching up with the television that I had missed all these times . Seriously , I don't feel good . Good thing is I am back at home ! I feel so good to be home !!!

Back in Singapore in less than 10 days ...

2008-11-08T22:23:00.003+08:00

Back in Singapore in less than 10 days ...

Hahas ... I just came back from a steak meal with Nicole . Nicole is leaving tomorrow because she is going to Tasmania ! So I woke up in the afternoon and had my breakfast plus lunch , then I head to her house to help her with her house shift . Then after two rounds , we head for dinner !

It is a greek food restaurant and I just realized it open 24 hrs ! It is quite expensive but it is good ! For the last meal , everything is worth it I guess ! We also tried to order the Greek restaurant specialty because the waitress stop us because she thinks the steak is too big for us . We also ordered Cola-Lemon mineral water .

When the steak arrived , we dig in immediately because we were tired and hungry . After finishing everything , we realized that we are still not full . We were drinking Cola-Lemon while chatting and deciding where to head for food next . Then we realized that we are full because of the carbonated drink .

Three out of four of my exams are over but I am already in a holiday mood . Seems like the paper I sat for are gone cases . I shan't elaborate on it . Anyway , I have still one more paper to go , so I will work on it ( ??? ) .

Hehe ... in less than 5 days , my family will be joining me in Australia to find me . And its less than 10 days I will be back in Singapore . But it will be a short one because the following day I am flying to Japan . Haha ... take plane 3 times within 10 days !!! But it failed the record I had when I was in Egypt . I think 8 in 14 days !

Things I would want to go when I am back in Singapore , have my food tour ( Laska , duck noodle , chicken rice , roti prata and etc ) , go to Zouk ! And maybe MOS ( ? ) Hehe ...

All for today ... I will be back !!

Super duper lucky ...

Super duper lucky ...

Yesterday , I sat for my first exam paper . I didn't really study for it . Maybe because I wasn't in mood in studying . My stomach was bloaty and I didn't feel like doing anything . The topics that I was OK with it are those that I had test on it because .

As RMIT doesn't had a place for examination to house many students at one go . So we had to travel to Melbourne sports hall to take our exams . Early in the morning , I meet Nicole because I don't know how to go to the place . We had to take a tram to Brouke street then , change another tram to the sports hall . The entire journey take about 30 minutes .

When I arrived at the sports hall , its was divided into 2 halls . Each hall could house up till 808 students ! Its was super crowded . This reminds me of Great Singapore Sale ! People having hard time to get across the room .

Then when the door opening , everyone starts rushing in . I had to keep a look out for my number because there are so many tables ! When I found my desk , I quickly settle down , take my stuff out and wait for instructions to start reading .

As I read through the paper , I feel lucky because those that I do not know was not given . I am so glad ! But as I start doing , the paper don't seem simple . I am not confident that I will get it right or not for the questions . I just wrote down what I know .

After the exam , Nicole and I took the tram back . As we validate our tickets , we realized that it is till the next day 3 am . We did not want to waste the ticket so we out . I accompanied her to Box Hill to see a dentist .

Box Hill is another place where all the asian people stayed . Its an 50 minutes ride of tram from the city . Chinese vegetables can be found there . I took my lunch there , serving was big yet price is reasonable ! A big bowl of noodle for $7.50 !

After visiting the dentist , we head back to city and ended our day by intending to eat desserts . But end up , we ate rice and drank some stuff .

Good news to share ! My family is coming to Australia ! They just bought air tickets yesterday . Now , the problem is where to stay Seems like hotels in Australia seems to be fully booked ! And yes , after Australia , we will go to Japan .

All for tonight ... bye ...

Updates on upcoming stuff ( Its a very long post )

Updates on upcoming stuff ...

***IMPORTANT***

Let me update my holiday plan for November . My family is no longer coming to Australia . Instead we are going to Japan for holiday . This is because there is no enough people in the tour group so we had decided to switch to other tour group . So my sister will arrive Australia on the 12th to help me pack my stuff . Then we'll depart Australia on the 17th Nov , arriving Singapore on the 17th Nov around 10 pm . Then on 18th Nov midnight , I will depart Singapore for Japan and arrive back at Singapore on the 26 Nov . Yup ... so I mass smses everyone on te 26th Nov when I reached Singapore .

The people above are those I had taken order from . Those who wants anything from Australia , please post either on my tagboard or message me .

Last night , I was suppose to update my blog . But I had an adventurous night out that I am too tired to blog and so start blogging now .

Yesterday , I had gone to suburb for Japanese buffet with Nicole . It was kind of sudden because I got bored while studying and Nicole don't want to eat . In order to get her to say ' yes ' to food , I suggested Japanese Buffet . Upon , hearing Japanese buffet , she immediately agree ! Though she is bamboo , but she really can eat !!!

Nicole had the address but she did not know which shop was that . So we went online to do an online search and so happen that there is this restaurant fits the description . A Japanese buffet at $28 per person . Note : There is no triple + charge in Australia . Thus , its worth it !

We quickly head over there because I had made a reservation at 7 pm . We took a train to Melbourne central and change train at Richmon and alighted at Brighton. Actually , its Nicole that do the search , I just follow , muhahaha . We walked about 800 m to the shop ! Its is located quite a distant from the train station . By the way Brighton is near a beach , its very nice and there are many beautiful houses

When we reached our destination , it is already 7.20 pm . Luckily , the boss did not turn us away because its 80 % full . Then , we proceed ordering . To my surprised , all came at one go ! So we had to make space for all the food ! Hahas ... the tempura was great ! The restaurant is generous with the serving . They gave each of us 2 medium prawns and a sweet potato . Then fried tou fu , groyza , fried chicken and salmon sashimin . Woooo~

Even green tea ice-cream , fruits are included in the buffet ! It was a good and worth it buffet . Then we had to walk 800 m back to the train station . Its was kind of errie , was no one was in sight . Then there was this announcement , ' Train services disrupted , please use the Replacement bus service ' . Then we quickly head out of the train station and went to the bus station .

I thought that the bus would follow the route and send us back to Richmon so that we can take the train back home . But this was not the case . The send us to the next train line so that we could take the train back ! When it reached Caufield , there is lots of people alighting , we also followed . I remembered that placed because I alighted there before with my cousin the other time . Then we board the train the at head to the city ! I was thinking how did I landed on the bus that I do not know where it leads me ...

We were suppose to reach city by 10.45 but because the train had broken down , so we reached city at 11.45 pm . The good thing about staying in the city is all the line will stop at the central station . I can't imagine when I moved to Bundoora .

Recently , I got to listen the Jay's latest album ! I was super happy to hear it in Australia ! I thought I had to wait till when I reach Singapore . All thanks to XXXX XXXX ... I don't want to type the name out else everyone will get from hXX . I think its is almost the standard of the standard Fantasy ! But of course , Fantasy is better .

The songs I like are 我一首歌的时间 , 花海 and 说好的幸福呢 .

From 我一首歌的时间 , I like : 在一起叫夢分開了叫痛是不是說沒有做完的夢最痛 .

From 花海 , I like : 不要你离开.距离隔不开思念变成海.在窗外进不来原谅说太快.爱成了阻碍手中的风筝放太快回不来不要你离开.泪已化不开经历的阻碍.我在等待重来天空仍灿烂.她爱着大海情歌被打败.爱已不存在 .

From :说好的幸福呢 , I like :怎麽了.你累了.说好的.幸福呐我懂了.不说了.爱淡了.梦远了开心与不开心.一一叙说着.你在不舍那些爱过的感觉都太深刻.我都还记得你不等了.说好的.幸福呐我错了.泪干了.放手了后悔了只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着.要怎么停呐 .

I like the lyrics in these songs !

Hehee ... I bought myself a 21st birthday present ! Let's start off with singing a song to myself ...

Happy Birthday to ME ...

Happy Birthday to MEEEEE ...

Happy Birthday to Me ...

It had reached Melbourne today but it had not reached my hands , I guess I had to wait till Monday then I will get it . Yes , I bought it online . Can you all guess what it is ?

A picture tells a thousand words ...

Hahas ... how many of you guess correctly ? Hahas , it was a sudden thought to buy it . And it is purple in colour . Hahas ... did you all got surprised twice ? I was surfing the apple website for program to download . And the I-Pod Nano caught my attention ! Then I when to shop online tab to find out how much it cost . Then I went to Singapore website to find out how much it cost in SGD . Then , I went to Australia and find out how it cost . I then realized that if I buy from Australia website , I saved $50 SGD ! And I also can have free laser engraving !

But there is two disclaimer ! First , the colour is not the same as what I saw online , it is a very dark purple . Second , many people have purple colour !

The 4th generation of I-pod Nano comes with many different colours . Its makes me want to be bold with my colour choice . I was sitting on the fence between white(grey) or black . Then my sister said blue , my brother said purple . I was thinking blue in the aluminum casing might not be nice so I decided to go with purple . Dearest friends ... bEl is still the same bEl ...

I told Nicole stayed home the whole day when I bought the Nano . She said , ' Wah ... I ' pei fu ( impress )' you , stay at home also can can spend money , some more few hundreds . '

If Nano come le , I don't think I will online that often le ... anything please drop me an email ...

On Friday , I received a surprise mail from MIRABEL ! She sent me a bookmark and a keychain ! Though its a gift while she is traveling , I see that as a gift to spur me on for my exams . The keychain is made of wood . I am glad the customs did not confiscate it because you are not allow to bring wood into Australia . The keychain is a face of POOH ! I will take pictures when I got my Nano ...

I guess this post is long enough ... wish my all the best bah in my semester exams ... Those who wants to get from Australia , I don't mind letting you to use my Australia Address . You can ship it to your house .

Short update hor ...

Short update hor ...

Heee ... I short update before I head to watch prince of tennis ...

Yesterday , I just ended my last day of school . I felt happy because the day that I am heading back to Singapore is getting nearer . Not mention , since its the last day of school , there bound to be some mini celebration !

Yes , me and Nicole again ! Actually , we intend to have Japanese buffet at the suburb but her discussion ended late so we can't go for Japanese buffet . End up , we had Japanese food and watched movie . Hahas , yea ... my second movie in Melbourne . We watched Eagle Eye . The movie was fantastic ! Its seems to be something that might happen in the future . How technology is going to take over our lives . Many things that used to be in the movies are happening now . Hmmm ... so will I lived that long to experience such stuff or it had already exist ?

I am now on a tight budget , I am trying not to get my mum to send money . So , I have $60 for 4 weeks . I will try my best to survive in that condition ! I think I can make it if I don't eat out at all because I just need to get vegetables and milk from now on !

I hope to start revising as soon as possible , hopefully , I am able to watch all the episodes of Prince of tennis .

Engine just started to warm up ...

2008-10-10T20:01:00.002+08:00

Engine just started to warm up ...

After having fun for so long , I finally ready to study . Probably I had fun after I ended my studies at Polytechnic . Last night , I stayed up all night to do my assignments and revise for my test till 5 am in the morning . Instead of feeling tired , I felt like its a feeling I missed . The fear of not making the grade . In polytechnic , as long as you have regularly attendance , you definitely will pass . But in RMIT , its different , if you don't make it , they will just fail you .

Since yesterday , I had started drinking coffee to keep myself awake . It started when I attended a morning lecture . Despite having enough sleep , I still felt tired . I had to poke myself with a mechanical pencil to keep my thoughts straight . I said poke , not stabbed myself . When I poke myself , I can control how much pain I am feeling . Stabbed is when you see blood ~ . Then a cup of coffee keeps me going from 12.30 to 5.30 , and with that I manage to burn midnight oil too !

No pictures of food or dessert to upload today because I didn't meet Nicole after class . I went for test first then I went for another class . She had for class first then for test because she don't feel prepared for the test . I didn't want to go to class because the content of the lecture is heavy . If I go for class , I might forget what I studied for test .

Then after class , I went to the Hungry Jack for dinner . Its a fast food restaurant that specialise in beef burger ! Oh my tian , I just can't resist beef . I am now craving for steak . Sian part is ... there is no hog breath around my area . All the outlets need to travel at least one hour . Sob sob ...

Nothing interesting to update you all . Just typical student life . Lecture , tute , go back hostel , sleep , eat . So standardize . Maybe someone head out to stock up . That's all ~

Singapore Day ...

2008-10-04T22:55:00.005+08:00

Singapore Day ...

Yes , finally Singapore Day is over ! I been waiting for this day for weeks ! Today , I woke up early in the morning at 9.30 am to get ready for this day . I was armed with a tupperware because I was thinking to buy some food during the event and pack it for dinner .

So , I packed my bag in a hurry and I was already a little late as I am meeting my friend to go there together . Heh , I have lived in Melbourne for 3 months and I still don't know my way to many places. I have to go with a friend to the Melbourne , Sidney Myer Music Bowl or else I will lost my way .

When we reached there , there is already two queues of people . We couldn't see the end of the queue . Luckily , my friend knows someone who is already in the queue . So we could queue somewhere quite in front .

This is the picture I took when I am queueing . I don't think you can see people in the picture . But there is a line of people queueing , even after the darkest tree .

Once we enter , we collect some goodie bag and then chiong for food ah . I queue for prata , then laska , the chilli crab , chicken rice and last ... Hokkien Mee . The queue for food was horrible . We only could queue for one type of food at the time . Each time was like 1 hour to 1 and half hours . During that period of time . I kept myself busy by thinking what food am I going to have because I only can have one type at the time . To my surprise , all the food are free ! Hence , I didn't pack any food for dinner .

My strategy was after getting my food , I will join the queue for the next round and then eat while I am moving with the queue . I was lucky because my friend's friends are taking care of the bags . So I have eat with ease . Let me rate the food :

Prata : Average ; The prata is nice but the curry is not and its pour onto the prata , thus the prata is not crispy . If they had used chicken curry instead of potato curry . It would be better .

Laska : Excellent ; Oh my tian ... its something I missed a lot ! The gravy was nice . Prawn was big , too bad no cockles . The noodles are not fat bee hoon but udon . It would be better if they used fat bee hoon and add cockles .

CHILLI CRAB : PERFECT ! One would expect the crab given is those small small those . BUT NO ! They gave us big ones , like those we eat in restaurants ! The sauce was superb ! Its worth the wait . I was lucky because I didn't know I was in the chilli crab queue till the person said so . I was kind of in front of the queue so I decided to stay on . Its was worth it . But later , some others queue for 3 hours for the crab .

Chicken Rice : Excellent ; The rice is a little salty but overall it was good . It took me about 1 and half hours to queue . Got a little angry , to think I need to queue for 1 and half hours for food . I think the maximum I queue for uncle weirdo is 1 hour . I was taking I am going to take my revenge back in Singapore by ordering everything .

Hokkien Mee : Good ; I queue 45 minutes for this one . Spend most of my time to thinking , should I have BBQ chicken wings , Char kuek Teow ( I don't know how to spend this one ) or hokkien mee . The way they fried it was good but its the used the original noodles , it would be better .

Food that I had not tried are Bat Kut teh , ice-kacang , mee soto , mee siam , tea with kaya toast , bbq chicken wings , Char kuek teow and many more .

Got tired and sat down to watch some performances ... I missed the Phua Chu Kang performance because I was busy queueing for food ... Heee ... I am Singaporean ah ...

He is super lame , keep emphasizing on speaking chinese ( Jia Hua Yu ... )

To all my friends ... this is Singapore Day ( Not the day I return to Singapore ! ) , where all the Singaporean gathered for local food and performance . You will be surprised to find Malaysians faking Singaporeans too ! Some ang mohs also turn up for the event . Honest foreigners like Nicole got rejected one day before the event and so she couldn't come .

As for my goodies bag , I had a tee , picnic mat , erasers , some note pad , balloon , lollipop , cap , lanyard , camouflage cream and tote bag . I miss out 1 goody bag which have sauces in it like kaya . Grrr ... got cheated because they said , take after the show ended because it is heavy .

I enjoyed myself , missed Singapore A Lot ! Love the food and goody bag . Nice to have such event . I wonder where will it be next year . Thank goodness , I will be back in Singapore 2 months later !

All for tonight ... I better head to bed ... byeeeee

Day at Royal Melbourne ...

2008-09-27T21:49:00.008+08:00

Yesterday , I had a long day out . I woke at in the morning to wash my clothes because Nicole asked me out to go to the Royal Melbourne Show . From the name , can you all guess what it is ? Well , it is something like a fun fair !

First , we head to the animal section . Do note that the pictures are not in order .

The dog competition :

This is my favorite breed of dog .

All these dogs are preparing to go out of the waiting area to compete . The above picture is a big dog .

Demonstration of how dogs help to herd .

Goats

Dogs relay !

Dogs in the waiting area waiting for their turn

Ferris Wheel

Another talk about herding and the nature of the geese

Children playing area

Games that I had played during the fair

I won a panda through this game with just $5 AUD . All you have to do is to purchase 4 tickets for $10 . Nicole and I split between each other . Just match the tickets with the poster and you can win any soft toy . Each ticket have 5 chances . When I was playing this game , I open the ticket slowly and matched the number on the poster . It was the 9th time when I open the ticket and realized I had won ! I checked my ticket with the poster many times before going to the person . When I won , I ran to Nicole and said I won and asked what should I pick , panda or duck , she was shocked . In the end I choose panda, I don't know why . The second time I spend $10 to play . I didn't win anything .

Seriously , this game I don't really know how to win . The first time Nicole play and did not win anything , then the person offer us some lousy gift and said , if you play the second time , we'll give any a soft toy . I felt bad because I won a panda and she did not win anything . So I play the second time and got a soft toy . Then Nicole want a dog .

This game is just pull the strings and have to try to aim for the big pooh and come up . End up its all small stuff . So the person gave us a lousy gift and said if we play the second time , we'll get a winnie the pooh soft toy . So we had to play the second time to get a winnie the pooh soft toy .

Finally ... pictures of me !

Nicole and I ...

Cannot win a pooh but can take picture with pooh

Pictures of me ... Stop asking me whether I have slim down or I had got fat . Judge yourselves . Keep the answer to yourself too ...

The above are all the soft toys that can from the show . We originally intend to just get the show bag ( Its like a goodie bag ) , but we ended up spending money on games . The panda and pooh is mine .

We played till we had forgotten the time . We had to go for a musical later on . We had to go back to my hostel and put the soft toys down especially the panda ! Luckily , the people don't mind waiting for us .

The musical was fun , but I had too much fun in the afternoon and was super exhausted so couldn't enjoy it 100 % . My cousin asked me to go for the musical by planet shakers uni ( something like that ) .

All for today ... off to watch F1 !! F1 is in Singapore ! Next week is Singapore day le !

Another week passed ...

2008-09-26T23:17:00.004+08:00

Another week passed ...

Dear all , I have kept one third of my promise , I had 3 desserts today but only remember to take one picture . OS : DANG !

Yea , today was the first time I brought cooked dinner to school ! I used the school's microwave oven and realized its kinda of dirty . But I need to heat my food up , so no choice I have to use it . Then we head to library to eat it .

Then meet our project mates for project . Felt a little guilty because the project mate did stuff before meeting us but I went there with nothing . I will be more prepared the next time !

After that , I wanted to eat Mango Cheesecake from Gloria Jeans but they closed already . So Nicole bought me to another cake shop to have cake . Its Crown something , not Crown Hotel , I had my cake . I like it a lot because the taste is not too heavy . But too bad , its so small that I didn't feel like I had anything .

Then , we head to Chinatown for desserts . Below is a picture of the dessert we had . Can you guess what we had ?

Its yam sago ! Hahas , I had the hot one and Nicole had the cold one . I stop her from eating because I forgot to take picture ! Yes , the milk tea is mine . Its hard to get a decent milk tea and since I pop into this shop . I won't waste any chances of drinking hot milk tea !

Then after that Nicole head back to my hostel to copy drama from my laptop . Then she waited till I finish my quiz . Then I wanted to get ice-cream . Hahas ... then she went there with me and got tempted and also ate the ice-cream . Then my sister called me , then I rushed home .

Last Monday I got my exam's dates . Grrr , I end at the LAST day !

Sorry for the short post . I am tired . Got to sleep le ... Bye ...

Clarification !!! ...

Dear all ... when I am counting down to Singapore day . I don't mean the day that I am coming back to Singapore in X week time. Let me explain to you ...

Singapore Day is organize by Overseas Singapore Union for Singaporeans who are at oversea . On this day , there will be many local food ( I am not sure whether it is for sale or for free . ) Also on that day , there will be performance from our local actor and actress .

I consider myself quite lucky because I have just arrived in Melbourne and Singapore will be held at Melbourne and not other part of Australia ! Last year , Singapore Day was held at New york !

Ooooops

2008-09-19T22:49:00.003+08:00

Ooooops

Hehe ... big apologies to all readers . Just now I was too anxious to eat my dessert that I forgot to take a picture of it ! I promised I will try to take pictures and post it here the next time . So for this blog post , please use your imagination .

Ever since I have Nicole as a friend , I started eating desserts ! I used to eat desserts randomly . Now , I will eat it every Friday ! Friday is a day where we both are very relax ! All the test are gone , everything can wait . As usual , Friday , I will start stocking up for my weekends and my following week . Nicole likes to tease me , for buying so much stuff and it was always be on Friday .

So before heading to Lygon street , walking from Swanston street , we will head to my hostel first to put down all the stuff that I bought from the supermarket because my hostel lies in between on Swanston and Lygon Street . Then we head to Lygon street for desserts . The last time was ice-cream . This time is cakes ! Nicole had Baci Choc while I had tiramisu . Nicole forbid me to eat cheesecake , she says must try new stuff . Grrr ... ROAR ! But I like it ! Luckily it was a small slice and so I am able to finish it . Time flys as usual we chatted till close to 12 am . Ooops , recently my mum is getting more and more worry , but she could guess that I am with Nicole and I always phone her when I reach my hostel to make her feel ease .

On Tuesday , my cousin came to my hostel . Finally , after like one month ? I asked if she wants lunch because I am cooking mine , she said ok . So I quickly cooked something . I am glad she enjoys it . " Uh ? What can you cook ? " , I know you all will be thinking about this . Well , its the usual boiled vegetables ( broccoli and xiao bai cai) and my Lee Kum Kee and also I bought finger food like crab meat and hot dog . I told my mum and sister but my sister splash cold water on me , she said , " Nothing will go wrong with vegetables and Lee Kum Kee , then I said , E-lyn said the hot dog is nice , then my sis said , nothing will go wrong with hot dog . "

Then after my lesson , we went out for Dim Sum . I was expecting it to be good because I went there for dumplings and noodles and it was great . End up it was not even tasty ! I felt a little embarrasses because it wasn't great . Everything is about the same in terms of the fillings and the outer covering , just that the shape is different .

These few weeks , most of my poly friends are going to NS , first is fake bro , then is fake sis ... All the best to them ...

Counting down ... 2 more weeks to Singapore day ...

A week and ME ..

2008-09-13T21:25:00.006+08:00

A week and ME ...

Hmmm , I keep thinking what should I update today . I don't feel good because my big auntie come knocking on my door unexpectedly . She is giving me headaches . Nevertheless , I will try to blog by tonight because I want to study tomorrow ...

Today , I start off my day with a little breakfast , 3 biscuits and a cup of MilX and start cleaning my room . Then Nicole message me to remind me about our " date " . I am glad she manage to wake up despite she slept late last night . When I finish with my laundry , I realized it was time for our appointment , I quickly message her to explain to her that I will be late . And off I went to bath .

I officially reached the market at 2.40 pm and head off to do our grocery shopping . A tip to save money when you are doing grocery shopping , go around closing time , like 30-45 minutes before the closing time . Its AustraliX stuff , everything is grown here , so don't bother about going early for freshness . When you go to the market during close to closing time . Most of the things are slashed to 50% off for meat and $1 for vegetables .

For example ; broccoli , normally its $3-$2.50 per kg . But when you go during the close to closing time , it becomes $1 - $1.50 per kg . Sometimes the vendor wants to sell those vegetables placed outside for display , the price will drop from $2 per kg to $1 per box . The price different is so big .

After that , we went to Asian grocery shop because Nicole wanted to get some more stuff . The things there are cheap because they are imported from asian countries . But strangely , I never see any of the brands there before . They even have their own brand for coke or soda drinks . Things there are freaky cheap . It is much much much cheaper than the supermarket . I went there with no intention to get anything but end up buying mangoes and hot dogs .

Then we headed home . After resting at home for awhile , I head out to the main street to get the rest of the stuff that I need . First , I head out to Chinatown to shop for a letter pad . Yes , I have to head to Chinatown . People here have those letter pad that are no different than the foolscap paper , just that it doesn't have holes . I went out at 5 pm and was lucky that the shop is still open . I was so glad that I manage to shop some decent letter pad .

Then , I head to the asian grocery shop to buy crab stick . I was so glad they imported another brand of crab stick and its cheaper than the ones in Singapore . Then back to central to do some grocery shopping like looking out for honey mustard sauce . Surprising , it was hard to find . I had to go to another supermarket to look for it . Actually , I asked the staff and she helped it with it . And there was only one brand for honey mustard .

As for today's dinner , I had subway melt . I regret having carrots and onions in it . I had it with the meal and today's is the first time I truly enjoyed the double choc chips .

Yesterday , something not nice happened to me . But Nicole was there to cheer me up . She also had something not nice happened to her . We chat and had fun . First we went for dinner . On thursday , I choose what to have and so , I made her choose what she wanted . She was always accommodating me .

And we stop at a little taiwan shop for a meal . Mine was average but Nicole truly enjoyed her Hananiese chicken rice , she like the garlic and chicken rice . The shop was generous with their serving . They gave me an almost full-filled bowl of noodles and a large chicken drumstick for Nicole and its only $7.50 AUD .

Then we went around walking so that we could digest and suddenly , I was craving for ice-cream ! I wanted to have 50 cents Mac ice-cream but Nicole said having gelato is much better . So from the main street , we walked to another street for gelato . Gelato is ice-cream without cream so its fat free !

I had Green Apple and Mango ice-cream . Nicole had water melon ( yes , its water melon , they even had papaya ) and Mango . Then we head to the park and eat . Then we chatted till 11.45 pm then we head home . I really enjoyed the time with her . She was sharing about the stuff that happened to her during one of the road trips with friends . When I reached home to skype with my mum , she astonished how late I reached home . But glad that I had a friend , at least I am not lonely ...

********Apologizes to All Muslim Friends ; please skip four paragraphs*********

On thursday , Nicole and I head to library . She missed the morning class and so she had to copy notes from me . As she was copying , I kept chanting about eating BBQ pork rice ! Then she was so tempted to eat with me . Then she asked me to lead her to the shop where I wanted to eat . When she looked at the BBQ pork , she said it is not fresh . So she brought me to another shop .

When I looked at the menu , I feel like getting duck noodle ! Then , I couldn't make up my mind . End up , I had both , since either pork or duck rice is $8.50 . Both is $9.50 . So I ordered that combine one . I also ordered a apple milk shake !

The apple milk shake is nice ! As for the pork and duck rice , the pork is too hard but the duck is nice ! I also tried Nicole's sweet and sour pork rice . The pork was so tender . Overall , its was alright .

On Wednesday , my Mum told me that she had eaten a delicious moon cake , it was from Wing Wah . Then I told her , I also had that ! She was astonished to know that they also have it here . Sis went online and did a check . And I realized that it was a few dollars more expensive over here . So overall , I didn't overspend on a moon cake . Phew !

All for tonight , I am so tired but it feels good to have the room clean . Counting down to Singapore Day ... 3 more weeks ! Stay tuned for the next update ! Byeeee ...

Vic Road License and ME ...

2008-09-05T21:56:00.004+08:00

Vic Road License and ME ...

Dear all~ , I just got my Vic Road license today ... I woke up 8 am because I need to reach the place by 9am ! And I am expected to reach 10 minutes before the appointment time . And I also need 20 minutes to walk ! I quickly jump out of my bed , get dashed to the Vic road center because I wanted few months for this appointment . And if I missed it , I will have to pay money for missing my appointment .

When I arrived there , I was next in the queue . I kept thinking to myself , how lucky I was ! If I missed it , its either I have to wait very long or they make me go for the other appointment . There are some parts of the application form I couldn't filled up and so I waited for him to fill up for me and I just sign the form .

Then after that , I was issused a Probation license ( P2 ) and was asked to make payment . I was kind of shock because I don't expect to pay for it . And it cost AUD $45.30 ! I was reluntant to pay . But after I surf the website , I realised that I am lucky because I need not pay for the appointment fee !

Then I also surf the net to check out the limitation of my P2 license . The driving conditions are stricter over here ! I can't accumulate more than 5 points over the period of 12 months . I can't drive cars that are more than 6 cylinders engines . This makes me think twice whether to drive or not over here in the city because cars and trams share the same road .

The followings are my license :

Front :

Back ...

Glad it didn't turn out sharp because there are important details about me .Next update will be during the next weekends . Till then !

Stuff you all with pictures ...

2008-09-03T15:49:00.027+08:00

Stuff you all with pictures ...

Hello~ people , are you all ready for a treat ? Hahas , you better be . Because I am uploading tones of pictures ! Yes , I had finally up my broadband usage . I always used the Internet till it exploded the data limit I had and end up paying more to the extend of hitting 3 digits every month when I only exceeded by a bit . Its so not fair !

Since now is my break , I shall spend a little more time blogging about what I had done in the past 6 weeks ~

After settling down for a night at the city , my dad and I went to my cousin's place to stay over for a few nights . On the first day at my cousin's house , my girl cousin recommended to go to Mount Dangelong for Pie and English tea . So armed with the address , GPS and my male cousin's car , we trio head there !

The place is called ...

Looked at the pies~ ... are you hungry ?

Look at the interior of the store , so country ...

Look at the chandelier , its so simple and elegant , is there any rich person who can donate one to me ?

And here comes the pie ...

After eating the pie , we were so full and so we did a little walking . My girl cousin brought me to the doll house . She was glad that the doll house was opened because the last time she came , the doll house was closed . So we took pictures of it . It was so big that I had to take one picture of each room . If you happen to visit this doll house , you will be amazed how detailed it was being made into .

After the stroll , we head to Miss Mufflers for some English tea . I was so into eating that I forgot to take the interior of the house . But I had taken the exterior of the house .

Then its the pictures you all been waiting for ... pictures of my room ! When you first enter , you will remove your shoes at my shoe corner .

The boots I had been talking about ...

Then , you will pounce on my bed . It used to be ...

Now , it is ...

It is so sweet ...

Next up is my shelves and study table ...

I had to put a sheet over my chair because it keeps shocking me with static electricity and its super painful .

The laundry ...

Then the little kitchen I had ...

Next to my little kitchen , its my wardrobe ...

Next to my wardrobe , its the toilet and the bath room .

My door and next to my door ...

After settling down , very soon it was my birthday . My cousins brought me out for dinner . I didn't bother to take any pictures expect for this one ...

Then last Monday , my Hong Kong friend , Nicole and I , went to Crown for cakes ! The cakes were so big that it had became our lunch and we could not go for any buffet . After the cakes , Nicole made me walk ...

On Sunday , Nicole asked me out because she wanted to buy presents for her friends . So we went to Richmon . Then I realised , the Ikea is there ! We ate kid's meal fish and chips . She was so full and could not eat anymore . But I continue eating hot dog . Then we went to get some ingredients so that we can have hot pot at her house . We bought too much that we couldn't finish . We only manage to eat half of what we bought . The meat was so fresh and sweet !

Saw this at the Richmon shopping center and decided to take this picture . The caption for this picture is , " Da Jie , can you ask toopid to wake up ! " .

My gradets and me ...

As you all know , I had an Australia line so that I can save money calling home . I got this LG phone free as I will be tied to the plan for 2 years . It is a touch screen phone . At times it is testing my patience . I was pointing at the scroll bar and off it open another file . Message to my phone , " Right , you better watch out " .

As I was looking out for this phone's review , it was said to be something like I-Phone . I said this to my real sister that my phone is I-Phone's twin . My sister said , more like distant cousins . Anyway , my sister got the I-phone . No, she didn't camp outside Singtel , she paid deposit on the first day of release and got it the second day . It makes the people queueing for it looked so stupid .

Its a 5 mega-pixel camera and this is the photo quality its produced .

This is my Dad , ever ready to pose for the camera . This picture is taken at the Queen Victoria Plaza . Not the Queen Victoria Market .

This is the Queen Victoria Market ...

As we all know , the Commex IT show had just ended . But I didn't miss it . Hahas , after chanting and chanting , my parents got me a digital camera ! Its sony T70 . Another touch screen gadet of mine. And yes , it is pink in color ! I was struggling between sliver and pink because I had sick and tired of black . Think its because facing my quilt for a long time .

I had not idea what camera I want , I just don't want it to be black . So my sister and my parents decided to get me this one . They said that T300 is too heavy . So they got me T70 . Then it was color time . When I called them , mum said pink , pink nice , so sweet , then I said ok . Then minutes later , I called them again and said , maybe silver . But mum said , pink la , pink very sweet . Sliver very 'song'(old fashion) . So I said ok lor .

From they account , they queue one hour for my camera and my dad who got Canon did not queue for his . He is having the Canon IS-860 . He was so proud of his new camera , he even insert his battery to show it to me his large screen ! He is so happy when I am not very happy , I keep saying he is showing off . My camera is still in Singapore , sis will bring over when she comes over , so till then , I will get to touch it .

Hope you all like this post . Less words from me and more from my pictures . Please poll to help me in my blog post . Other stuff in my mind is , Val , wondering how is she , haven't hear from her since . Next is Hwee Jing , as from Patricia tagging on my tagboard , she just seen the dentist . Hope she get well soon ! Mostly importantly , I been chanting to my parents that I want to go home ... I WANT TO GO HOME .

Upcoming programs are , going to Vic Road to convert my Singapore driving license to a Victoria driving license . Then on 4th Oct , its Singapore day . Heading down with my Singaporean friend .

All for now ... the next time I am updating maybe ... coming Saturday or Sunday about my Vic Road license but it will be a short one because I need to study test ...

Counting down to one week break

2008-08-22T22:27:00.003+08:00

Counting down to one week break

Time really fly ; Next week is week six and its the week before my semester break . Thus , I got bomb by many test ... I have four test for the coming week and I hasn't prepared for it . Plus there are assignments due next week . Seems like I can't go window shop anymore ...

Yesterday , when I was skyping(???) with my mum and sister , my mum said , " Tomorrow its Friday right ? So you will go shopping again right ? " . I replied , " No , I will be studying because there are many tests coming up . ". Today , Nicole ( my hong kong friend ) and I arranged to get graph paper together from the main street .

After we meet up , she asked if I had something on later . Then I said no . So I followed her to get her stuff without knowing where is the place . Then she said we are going to take the tram . Then I said I do not have a ticket with me . Then she said you don't need a ticket . Then I thought awhile and asked whether are we allowed to board the bus without ticket .

She explained there is this tram specially for tourist . It operates within the city and its free of charge . She also said , as long as I don't see a ticketing machine , it means that the tram is for free . So , off we went to the Spencer street . Its very near Southern Cross Station . After looking for pre-paid Visa Card but she didn't get because it has now become cardless , which mean its electronic visa card , its for online purchases . She need one that she can cash it .

Then we head to the factory outlet to shop a little because today is Friday and the shops closed much later . Normally its 5-6 pm , Friday will be 8-9 pm . So we went round shopping . And we went on shoe hunting . She looked for a flat shiny plastic pointed shoes while I shopped for another boots ! Hehe , as I observed , 90% of asian girls who come Melbourne will get a pair of boots . This time , its flat boots , means no heels type . I was so lucky , my sister was not around when I skyped with my mum , else she will make noise and start using calculator to calculate for me how much it cost in Singapore dollar .

I am talking about boots , it will be a foreign topic to you all because in Singapore , you don't need a pair ! But it good to know a little right ? Boots are not worn just because it look nice on your legs , but also its helps to keep your lets warm . You must be thinking , ' Excuses ' . Nope , its not , it is very cosy because I tuck my jeans inside it too , so its like double layer .

Some of you must be thinking , ' Uh ? I thought you just bought one , one month ago ' . Ya , that pair , the heel show signs of worn out and my mum asked me to get another pair without heel one . Just now when I show her , she keep emphasizing at looking at the side profile to see whether there is any heel and she is please with what she saw .

I got both my boots at AUD$40 , one is at super market and the new one at factory outlet . The cheapest pair of boots , not talking about the short ones , at the main street cost at least $90 after discount . I got mine cheaper than market price because it was on sale and it was not from a shoe shop . Ya , so those who want to get boots , please remember this important tip .

Then after shopping at factory outlet , we realized that we haven't go graph paper and ofXXXXwXXXX closed at 9 pm , so walked for 25 minutes to Queen Victoria Square to get it . Then we head to Asian Groceries shop because Nicole wants to make Tang Yuan to eat . End up , I was tempted and I got those instant ones .

Then we head to Hungry JXXX for dinner . It is something like Burger XXXX . I am in loved with the beef burger , it is much better than the Bacon and Beef burger from MXX . Then , we head to supermarket to stock up our food supply and head back to hostel .

On our way back , we saw a guy peeing near the dustbin . And from then on , I develop a phobia to walk near the dustbin because someone might had pee there before . His group of friends disturbed him while he was peeing by asking him what is he doing .

The rest of the other weekdays , its was mundane . I went to school , then to library , then back to hostel . Manage to hand in one lab report and one assignment ...

All for tonight , I am tired and wants to sleep le ...

Don't know what to blog about ...

2008-08-15T09:23:00.002+08:00

Don't know what to blog about ...

Today is the last day of the week , I am still left with a pile of assignments . It took me hours to do one . And I had not finish that one . I am prepared to send it for checking whereby my lecturer is going to ROAR . Because most of it is wrong . Muhahaha . Maybe I show her after class end . Then she will be in bad mood and will scold the next class to vent her frustration ! Or maybe she had fainted because she saw what I had done for the assignment .

This week I did not cook !So on monday night , I left half loaf of bread and I couldn't decide to eat out or finish the loaf . I called home to ask my mum . Mum said eat out lor , keep the bread for tomorrow's breakfast . Me , alone went out to search for food and landed at Nandos . I looked at the menu for a long tyme and decided on 5 pieces of chicken wing . Its was not a bad choice ! The chicken wing with the BBQ sauce was delicious !

Then , on Tuesday , my cousin and I hangout awhile . Initially , she told me she was at brouke street , shopping at supree . I was lazy to walk to that the street . Then , after I hang up the phone , I realised she said supree ! Few days ago , I was chatting with Val and she asked me about this place . Its a place where they sell clothes ! I quickly called my cousin again and told her wait for me ! I am coming !

Then , when I reached there . They sell lots of clothes . To the extend that I don't feel like looking because there is too many of them ! I saw several dresses I like but they isn't any where for me to wear it to . The discount section was super cheap . Price range from AUD$5-AUD$15 .Then me and my cousin went for dinner and drank bubble tea . The dinner is okie . My cousin was saying that she feeling sleepy . So I treat for to drink bubble tea , so that she can bring it to lecture and drink it . The milk tea taste like condense milk , no tea flavour at all !

On Wednesday , I ate the yam bun . I think its average because the yam is not sweet enough . And I finish the entire pack by that day . I sneak out to have dinner outside again . Muhahaha ! To buy dustpan and brush was an excuse . I went to my favourite Jap shop to have a meal . But I made a bad move . I shouldn't had ordered fried chicken with curry sauce . The curry sauce is nice but the fried chicken is not ...

Bonus Question : GUESS how much is the dustpan and brush with a size of a small exercise book ........ its $1 ! ~

On Thursday , its was a usual tired day , so I stayed at home and eat bread with ham . Finish it all in a day ! I had a tiring day so after I had bath , I didn't do work straight away . I went down to the communal area to watch cable TV . I made someone new from Holland . Wooo~ she is cool and friendly ! I watched Janice Dick. Modeling Agency . I liked her , she don't regard her models as models but also like her children . She didn't want them to go down the road like she used to . Initially , I thought she as a big-time 38 . But after watching the show , I changed my opinion of her .

Today , I started the day off with looking for my lecturer but she wasn't around . Judging from the queue , I think it will be long so I head to library to do my math quiz . I taught my self to use a program and it helped me to score good grades . Its like offsetting my poor results from the previous test . I guess tonight , I am out for dinner again .

Chao~ off to have lunch before my next lesson starts ! Hope to see you all hanging around my blog and leaving tags messages .

Dotz ... Uni Life ... so tough ...

2008-08-06T19:54:00.002+08:00

Dotz ... Uni Life ... so tough ...

I had been wondering , whether taking up four modules is too heavy for me . I am always feeling so drained . I had 22 hours of school to attend . My tutorials and assignments are piling up and I don't feel like doing them . It is so not ME .

Every time I wanted to start my work , I feel so tired that I nap a little and ended up sleeping . Gosh , I feel so drain . I try to slack a little so I do not feel stress and tense . But the thought of my tutorials kept piling up , I feel so stress . I don't know how it will be . I am able to cope with my daily with my daily life but school stuff is so tough . I don't know how's the future like . But I will try my best so that my parents' money won't go down the drain .

Let's blog about something happier . My family is coming over Australia for a holiday . The thought of seeing them again makes me happy ! Guess what , I had already made plans after my semester exams end . You could see how much I wanted this semester to end . My mum is so afraid that I couldn't come home on my own from Australia and so they wanted to come over and bring me home and at the same time visit Australia .

Friends I made in Australia , Ally ( Australian ) , Nicole ( Hongkonger ) and Grace ( Singaporean ) . So , school life not so bad . Manage to talk to them , sit with them during lectures and eat lunch in school with them .

Weekends , I am on my own . I finish my laundry , cooked my lunch then I head out the streets . Then buy my stuff then I head back to hostel , have my dinner . I will start to study . Sunday , I will wake up late , head out to Queen Victoria Market , then I head back to hostel to load the stuff . Then I head out for lunch/dinner . Then watch TV and study . Sometime ironing .

The bad buy of the week . I was craving for prawns and so I went to Queen Victoria Market to get fresh prawn . Then when I want to cooked it . I realized there is a problem . I don't know how to cook it . Luckily , I was on the skype with my family . Then mum said , its better to overcook it than to eat it raw . So I cooked the prawns for 1.5 hours . And it stinks my room .

It took me a bottle of air fresher , open my windows big and 2 days so that the smell will slowly diffuse .

Since monday , I had cooked for two days . I will cooked again on Friday and Saturday . If there are excess vegetables , I might cook on Sunday . Ya , so this is the current planning for cooking .

Stuff that I am missing out , most probably is many of your 21st birthday . " Happy Birthday Val! " . I can't celebrate with you but I know your LIANG LIANG had gave you a wonderful celebration !

All for today then , bye all~

Its the 222th post !

2008-08-01T15:04:00.002+08:00

Its the 222th post !

Time flys ... I had been blogging for 3 years and now I have come to my 222th post ! Can't believe it because I didn't know that I am going to blog so long and so much . I am now waiting for a lecture recording to be uploaded ans so, I might as well take this opportunity to update my blog !

This is my 2nd week of school . Still trying to cope with my studies . As for daily life , still managable . I had already had a set routine like when I will cook and when will I not cook . You all must be thinking ," Cook ? Did she said cook ? " . Yes , I am cooking regularly . I still having boil vegetables and LXX CXX KXX oyster sauce . Then , I will have some ready to be eaten chicken , from the supermarket . Weekends , I will go to Queen Victoria Market to stock up my supplies for the next week and also get Salmon so that I can have Salmon shashimi. It don't taste as good as the Japan ones but they are at least very fresh.

I don't cook everyday because of my time-table . I need 1 hr to cook and 15 minutes to eat . So some classes have 1 hour break in between , then I will not be cooking . I will eat out . I can have many variety to choose from , fast food to cooked food . I miss the Royal Umbrella rice . The rice here are not fragrant . Luckily the oyster sauce cover the smell up .

Then , on friday . I will clean the room up and wash toilet . And on Satureday , wash my clothes . So basically , this is my rountine .

Food critic time : I tired eating school canteen stuff. Its not expensive compared to the food courts in the city . I tired cooked rice and the main building and burgur and my engineering building. It was not bad . Then earlier, my cousin and I also went to another small Japaneese food store . It was delicious !

As for my " entertainment " , I shop regurlarly . I goes to supermarket regurlarly to stock up some food and essentials . I feel like trying the desserts but till I slim down .

Please take note : If I am online and not responding to your MSN messages . It means that I am skyping with my family . Do be patient and join the queeue . You can skype me if you want . I have sent you all the emails to contact me .

The recorded lecture is still not ready for download ! I will have to continue waiting then . Bye people !

First week of school ...

2008-07-19T22:25:00.004+08:00

As I am blogging now , I am munching away a bowl of cereal as my supper . I had a brunch at 4.30 pm . Before that I was taking a bus , then train back to Melbourne from my cousin's place . I thought I will fall asleep in the train because I feel that I am not sleeping enough . Then I realized the view outside the train is good so I went on looking .

Upon reaching my hostel , I went back to sleep . When I woke up , I received an message from my sister asking whether I want to skype not . Hahas , I super duper happy and went to skype . I kept wanting to talk to them but Mum asked me to go wash my clothes . Hahas . I don't feel like doing it because I am LAZY . After skyping with them , I did my laundry . It took me 2 hours to do it .

After that , I went on shopping for the necessity like bread , body foam . I realized that ever since I lived alone , I am more caution of the way I spend money . I always look out for cheaper stuff . Pushing the trolley to and fro to find a cheaper stuff . My family members find me more and more ' Aunty ' .

My first week of school is average . My year 2 lecturers are not very nice people . But my year 1 lecturers are nice . Oh ya , I forgot to explain myself . I am now a year 1 student taking some year 2 modules because I got exemptions . My time-table is messy and I have lesson everyday .I even had to miss a lecture because my time-table is too packed . Luckily , the lecturer still allows me to take test as per normal . I tried to make time to cook because eating in Australia is expensive. 1 meal at food court is $10 . That's why when I eat out I always combine meals to make it more worthwhile .

This year , my 21st birthday celebration is so tone down . My family celebrated over skype for me . Then my cousins brought me out last thursday to Crown hotel for buffet . $20AUD per head . Its consider cheap for buffet , let me remind you again , a meal at food court is $10AUD . Then we explored Crown hotel . Its the best in Melbourne . It had also boutiques like LXXis VXXton , BXXBXXXX , PXXXX and some other . It has also very nice cakes . But, many people go there for its Casino. Its a 2 level casino . Playing jackpot can be as low as 1 cent per try . Many retirees hang out there . I enjoyed myself on that day . I am always at the city . Its nice to explore the other side of melbourne .

Yesterday , I went to watch movie,'The dark night' at the suburb area with my cousins and cousins' friends . By the way, its expensive to watch movie in melbourne . The cheapest movie tickets you can get its $11 AUD . It was a nice movie , the person acted the JOKER was real good . The BATMAN acted well too . Overall , I liked the story . I stayed over at my cousin's house for a night and headed back to my hostel the next morning .

All for now .. keep you updated ! Byeeee

How to go about it , tomorrow I will decide bah ...

Saying Hiz from Melbourne ...

2008-07-16T22:15:00.002+08:00

Saying Hiz from Melbourne ...

Dear all ... this is one of the few chances I may be blogging to you all because in Melbourne , they charged by how many data been send . I am able to update some of the things here ...

Firstly , I am able to land safely in Melbourne . The food that I brought over like , Maggie Mee , Mee Gorenge , biscuits , sweets , butter biscuits , cup noodles and Milo . It all went through expect for the cup noodles because it contains egg and chicken . The rest all went through . I was lucky because the Milo were from Singapore , and so it also went through . The custom people were nice , they were friendly . Not as strict as thought .

Initially , the custom officer wanted to dig out the chicken and egg from the cup noodle but I think its too troublesome and so I decided to get it be disposed . For those who wants to earn big bucks , can work at XXXbourne custom , help to dispose stuff . Because those Xhina like to bring their herbs in , and so often got stuck in the custom . You can try to send it over to Singapore and sold them away . Hahahahas ...

Next is my hostel , I am staying in Unilodge On Campus , you are surf for the pictures online , but my room is super small . I belong to the standard studio with air-con category . My room is like a little more than the than a quarter of the classrooms . But good thing is there is no communal toilet or kitchen .

My address is : Unilodge On Campus , Room 211 , 9 Earl Street , CARLTON VIC 3053 , AUSTRALIA . If you want to call me , you are call my hostel at +613 9001 2300 . They will transfer the line to me . I will also be getting a handphone next week after I receive my ATM card so I will mass email the handphone no. with you all .

As for my hostel pictures , wait till I unpacked and everything is nice , I will take pictures and show it to you all . Please don't expect a bath tube . I am quite lucky because everything is quite new .

Food here , average $10 aust per person . Please don't go to the food court for dinner , portion small , food exp . At Aust Chinatown , its $8 aust , is 4 small soup bowl of fried rice . But in food court , its like our Singapore food court portion but at $10 aust . If you want to try Australian food , it will be fast food .

Those who are coming over to Melbourne , please let me know , so that you can buy Maggie mee for me . Maggie Mee here are sold at $1.85 aust dollar per small packet . Maggie Mee is allow in Australia , please declare all food items when you enter .

All for now ... I am tired , phew ... off to bed ...

All the details , you people wanted to know ...

2008-07-12T00:58:00.002+08:00

All the details , you people wanted to know ...

The most important thing , the VISA , its been approved . So I am able to stay in Melbourne till 2012 . It was approved on the 10th July ; A day after my enrolment . When I meet my fave 38s on Wednesday for dinner and dance , I was like , " Hey , today is the 9th and I am still in Singapore ! "

Next , my flight details : Dear all , no A380 for me ... sob sob . I will be departing on the 14th July , flight no. : SQ 237 , at terminal 3 , time of flight is 23:35 . Expected time to reach airport will be maybe 9:35 pm . I might be there earlier for last dinner in Singapore .

Upon arrival , I will check-in into the hotel , currently I don't have hostel to stay . So , upon arrival , I will be quite busy . I will try to sms or leave word on the blog that I have reached Australia safely .

Things that I have to do upon arrival other then check-in hotel is get myself enroll in school , look for hostel , open bank account , buy textbooks and checkout the area so that I know where to buy stuff /food . Look out for pharmacy and clinic .

As recommended by Evan , I shall get the pre-paid phone card . I will mass email you people the number I am using . No worries , the Singapore handphone line , I will be still holding on to it . I don't think many people know that I am off to Austrailia for studies .

I had packed 80% of my stuff . 20% not packed yet because there is no more space . Trying to figure out something ... If possible , I will bring along ... Hahas , nothing is impossible !

Less than 3 days in Singapore , to be honest , I am not very excited to go there so early . But no choice , dad had work to do . So he will have to get me settle down and so he can return to Singapore and prepare his next trip to Maldive .

The ultimate purpose of going to Australia is to study and get a degree back . Other than that , I hope to be more independent , learn to do housework like cooking and washing clothes and be more sociable .

All for now regarding my study trip to Melbourne ...

Last Wednesday was my last visit to Zouk ... Gosh , the place I am going to miss . When we reached there , around 11 pm , already long queue . Cannot enter Phuture , so sad , its RnB lor . So when to Zouk instead , mambo night . The 3 of us ( Evan , Val and I ) were seriously out of place . The regulars were so happening because the competition had just over . We went for a drink , it got better . But the music really can't make it , everyone ( not only us ) stand there stone for 2 songs and we decided to leave . Pictures with Evan , when she send I will upload .

Then last night was my last visit to K-box . Secondary school friends and I had arrange to meet at 7 plus and I arrived at 10 ! I packed my stuff till I forget the time . I also have to had dinner with my family because it had been longed since I last had dinner with them . Hahas , manage to sing all I wanted . Sang 'dao dai by jolin' twice without A/D . So happy ! Super thank for letting to ' ba zai ' the mike since I arrive ...

Today , Jie treated bro and I to a Thai dinner meal at Bukit Timah . Those we know its near ' My Wife's Place ' . Its call ' Vis-a-Vis ' . Mum gave it a miss because she wanted to watch the 7pm chn U show ! So we went ahead as Jie had program at night . It was scary , the 3 of us ate 4 dishes . When the 3rd dish was served , we asked for rice-refill . The waiter keep remaining us about our 4th dish while refilling the rice for us . The the climax was the dessert . We ordered 3 different kinds , two of it was Thai dessert and the other was French dessert . After finishing the dessert , I turned my head and realised that a couple is sharing the French dessert we just had . Then I told my sister and we came out with the conclusion that we had scared the waiters there with our enormous appetite . Hahas ... The scariest part was the bill , we trio chalked up a bill of $XXX.XX .

Hope you people enjoyed this post , I tried to end off with a line ... my departure is for the better of my future ...
