Gah..

2009-05-07T15:51:00.002+08:00

i'm on leave to study for my exam (which is tmr), and today i'm reading a gay guy's blog, friends' blogs n thking about shopping!

i dunno if i would term myself as stressed, i usually don't feel the stress of exams until the very last minute. this time around my rusted stress-o-meter started sky-rocketing (in my tummy) yesterday, n i suddenly feel like i do not have enough time to finish my studying! wat a waste of good leave.. =/

ahaha, oh well, fear not. i'll take watever comes my way. i jz hate doing sums.. calculating deferred tax expenses and knowing what to disclose in a financial report is boring..

happy long weekend to me!! *heart*

Yippee :D

2008-12-19T00:07:00.003+08:00

I've bought my new toy.. my long awaited new camera.. spanking new.. am just all smiles.. can't wait to fully try it out in the day... *drool* :D

5 interviews down. this is tiring.. totally exhausting. i've rejected interviews for 2 firms. it's really not easy for me to choose, coz sometimes i don't really know what i want.

"thk thru it urself, wat do u want to do in the end?"

this really gives me the headache. sigh.

my gut feeling tells me.."go with ur gut"

biased.

tired.

Applications

2008-12-10T16:04:00.003+08:00

I've abandoned my plan to submit resumes for job applications last month, but today I've applied for 12 jobs already. How crazy is that?

Meeting my new friend from CPA studies for food at Jalan Alor - Jalan Kejora then back to Jalan Alor. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

Oh oh, I passed both my CPA exams.. now 2 more to go. =)

Feeling poor again. So much yet to pay. Camera, CPA Membership Fee (gotta pay RM733 this month instead of RM718 last month :S) and new year clothes. Not to mention all the birthday presents I'm supposed to get this month. And dad's birthday is tomorrow, think I'll try to get a cake tonight as I'll be having dinner with gal pals tomorrow.

Chen has been so bored in Ipoh, I pity him, in a way. =P I wonder if he's back to KL today like he said he might. His innocent "Zzz?" sms late last night has resulted in an hour long conversation which involved blood, needles, poor kids in hospitals, past relationships and boredom. Slept at 3am this morning.. I need more sleep. hehe

Better

2008-12-03T16:12:00.003+08:00

I feel better today, even though I'm exhausted. I wasn't sleeping properly, but then again I was up doing naughty things.. =P

My mood swings have lighten up just a tiny little bit. Dad is back from Taiwan and i missed talking to him. Seeing dad's lil cute antics are just so entertaining it's priceless. Mum has been great too, now that bro is back she's not really on my back all the time. =)

The wound on my right ear is healing up pretty quickly, it's been in an icky condition for too many weeks now and being me, not doin anythin to it, it has grown really ugly to the point I'd feel like cutting it off. It's got all the dried up plasma and everything (no pus thankfully!) and the itch is so unbearable sometimes that i scratch it til the plasma sorta leaks right down my neck. Yeah, it's that bad, wound was big enough for plasma to leak down a couple of centimeters.

Had lunch with parents today (one of my fave times) at some hawker place. My food came first and I started eating without mum n dad. Dad go this food and commented that mum eats the slowest and she hasn't gotten her food yet. Mum refuted to say I ate the slowest and that she's not at the bottom of the list anymore.. =_="

I usually don't eat that slowly, or at least I don't think so. I just want to eat slower because I want to properly chew my food (I always thought if I didn't chew properly I'd grow fatter faster) and that I didn't want to sweat while eating.. =/ I gobbled the last 2 spoonful of my Lam Mee (not very great, by the way) and then I started sweating.. =( That proved my point of eating slowly. Sweating may be good, but I hate to sweat when I'm not supposed to. Especially when I still need to look and smell fresh at the end of the day to go out at night without goin home for a change.

Another conversation we had during lunch - my weight. I have been complaining about my weight since forever, and I have yet to lose any unwanted bits of my body. I guess I jinxed myself from saying that I'd lose all the weight in Malaysia once I come back. My Aussie friends are sure gonna laugh at me.. =( But then again they don't really think I'm fat, perhaps except for George.. =P Anyway, mum doesn't think I'm fat, she thinks I look just nice. Dad on the other hand, who is supposed to be more conservative, says I am. "肥，你哪里不肥!" =_=" Sigh, I guess this is it. My dad thinks I'm a pig.. >_< hehe =P

Ms Emily from the office says I'm not fat (numerous occassions) then one day she asked how much I weighed. I told her the figure and she stopped saying that I'm not fat.. >_<

Azman from 2nd floor (who's a bit de 38/b.body) used the universal sign language to tell me I've grown bigger in the face and the body... =_="

I used to wear size 24-26 jeans, now I have to wear a 27-28! >_<

My face is already pretty square, with my weight gain, I can now use my cheek as a frying pan. Who wants a sunny side up?

I need to lose weight.

December

2008-12-02T01:17:00.002+08:00

It's December..

I have yet accomplished all my ''realistic goals'' for November, but now I could not care less.

My mood swings are back. I think it's PMS. =/

Thanks for the hug, Lu.. The hug on Saturday was much much much needed. I think I still need some now.

Don't understand why I keep making myself unhappy. Thinking about unhappy things, doing things that would make me unhappier. This is dumb. Yet am I doing something about it? I don't think so. Perhaps I'll just go to sleep after this entry. Hopefully I'll wake up feeling fresh again.

Did not buy a single thing on Saturday, or Sunday. Bought some much needed sweets today, need to have more sweets around me so I have company. Yeah, sweets as company.

Thinkin of sis' engraving behind her new ipod - Happiness is my choice.

Okay, will try. But let me finish grieving and throw fits first. I want to stomp on the ground and let all that anger and sadness flow out of my feet. I want to cry my heart out and dig out my tear glands so I will not have tears to cry anymore. I am such a crybaby.

Stuff it.

I need a hug.

Horoscopes

2008-11-29T11:22:00.002+08:00

found out yesterday that i won't be attending a good friend's wedding becoz of my family trip. one of the reasons y i was being moody? maybe.. hot weather plus orange-tasting drinks does not help.

shopping day today, will be my 1st trip to pavillion. guess wat my horoscopes say?

"Happiness isn't about acquiring more things"

great, just great.. hopefully i can at least get something today.. n hopefully i can be bubbly and cheery again.

Guess what?

2008-11-12T11:18:00.003+08:00

i'll go straight to the point here..
remember last month when i said i won't be eating sesame seeds? click here if you don't remember.

i had them last night!
...

i ordered roasted vegetarian duck (really good) with peanut sauce n i didn't notice the sesame seeds in the sauce.. fish said i ate them.. n only told me after our whole meal.. >_<

"now that we've finished our meal, i wanna tell u that u ate sesame seeds"

-_-"""""""""""'
super speechless..

on another issue: my list of things to do
my mum asked the maid to clean up my room.. so my room is neater right now.. still need to throw away stuff i don't want. i'm trying to imagine an empty table (my table is super long, whole length of the wall btw).. am trying very hard to imagine.. =/

anyway, i'm still happy. thanks mum! :D

What Imma gonna do this month

2008-11-07T10:30:00.003+08:00

i've been a procrastinator all my life. it's hard to change when i'm already so comfortable being a procrastinator. even harder to change when i don't feel much from the consequences of my procrastination.

i came across Phillip Humbert from one of my junk mails, and he suggests that people have lists of what they would like to achieve. He drafted out this template called "My Weekly Productivity Planner" which i think is a bit hectic (i.e too much to fill in! altho it's only one page). i'll start small though, i've always believed in realistic goals, so i wanna write things down as i go, and make sure i achieve them, otherwise i won't be able to do more.

side note: i entered an online competition yesterday, which asked me a superpower i would like to have if i could. i chose speed, as i could complete all my tasks quickly and be able to do more. if you're a procrastinator, maybe you'll understand what i mean. =)

so what i'm gonna do this month includes:

send out my resume (at least 5? i'm being realistic here, n yes i'm looking for a job)
go on the threadmill at least once (yeah, just once, laugh all you want =P)
clean up my room - study materials and clothes especially
apply for home internet connection, my 3G modem is so unreliable
register myself with one of the blood banks in KL *gulp* (otherwise my doc will nag me non-stop, n he does nag a lot)

okay lar, 5 is a good number, don't you think? i'm just being realistic, don't wanna be setting goals i can't achieve, so i've had goals set, timelines set (til 30th nov of course) and am specific with them goals. 5 resumes, 1 run, 1 blood bank. check, check, check.

very achievable goals, think some of you may even be able to do all those in 1 day. uhm, perhaps i'll try and finish them as soon as possible. will update as i go. =)

am in a good mood, *muakz* u guys.. have a great day ahead!

and it's Friday! :D have a good weekend.

Happy 3rd

2008-11-03T15:54:00.000+08:00

Note: not for those with a weak stomach, or havin their meals..

2 weeks ago my parents n I had lunch in the office, economy rice..
I packed the drumstick bones thkin of bringing them home for my dogs, n I forgot to bring them home.

I have been away for all these while, n I totally forgot about askin my mum to throw the box away..

This morning, I saw a lot of sesame seed looking thingies next to my biz cards.. so I took them out to brush the “seeds” away..
Then when I bent down n saw MORE sesame seeds.. as I looked closer, one of the lighter coloured ones moved..

……….

I freaked out.. they were maggots.. I was breeding maggots in my office.. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I don’t dare to sweep everything out.. becoz I’m so grossed out.. I’m constantly lookin at my bin (when’s the cleaning lady comin!!!???) to see if they are crawling out..
I’m itching all over (yes I knw it’s psychological)!!!!

:( :( :(

Gross (times a thousand exclamation marks)
let u see..

2008-10-16T17:09:00.005+08:00

:: Only you can save you from yourself ::

This serves as a reminder to myself, that if I do not work hard for myself, I will not get the results I want.

So GANBATE!! Work harder and enjoy later.

Good luck to all of you too.. =)

Peace out.

Blogging again!

2008-10-05T22:41:00.012+08:00

I knw I've been absent from the blogging world for such a long time now, and there's never a better time than today to blog again. I am still reading your blogs tho, those i usually read i mean.. so don't fret! i'm updated, n i'm updating.. =)

This post is in response to Cely's blog about her IC pictures. we've previously talked about FUGLY ID pictures of ourselves and i've kinda dared her to put hers up. she did put hers up of course and here's me keepin my promise. >_<

here we go, let's start with my Lesen Memandu Malaysia (Driving License) :D

don't i jz look hideous? =P 2001 fat face picture.. i know it's invalid, i knw it has a hole punched on the side, but i hv my extension license, which will expire in 2 months.. so time for me to take new pictures!! happy happy.. =P

up next is my M'sian IC.. another T_T photo.. also taken in 2001..

no one told me i had to wear a coloured top, so i wore white, n was told to wear this super ugly black blazer that they had.. >_<>

this was taken in january 200....7.. yup, 2007.. if you can see clearly, i only hv half a side of both my eyebrows. half + half = 1 eyebrow.. =P

tot i was gonna stay in melb for longer, so paid for a 10 year license. =/ it was an early day for me, i woke up 8+am, then waited n waited for my test to be taken.. by the time i finished my test, it was abt 11am already, the sun was up n it was hot (summer at the southern hemisphere >_<) my face was sweating, i didn't hv any make up on (i tot i was taking my pic another day!) n of course didn't hv any with me as well.. =/ so u see?? at least i wore a green top (my lucky colour, i thk!), which went well with the license.. :D

of course i thk i look better now, even though i'm much older (n wiser!! =P). here's how i look now, a random pic taken moments after reading Cely's post.

*this is jz to make sure i don't look like a goon in front of u readers, altho it's not exactly a good expression to show you guys =P*

very candid ler wei.. i thk i look funny.. hahah i hope you guys enjoyed reading this post as much as i enjoyed writing it, even tho it's not much. fun fun.. =)

Cely, see? i got fugly pix too.. =P

Mum's Wesak trip to see Baba

2008-05-28T18:59:00.002+08:00

Mummy has gone to India to see Baba, and returned happy and contented. Reading the updates on her trip, i understand how happy it could be, to knw that your prayers have been answered, to knw that you've done the right things, and to knw that you are loved and blessed.

I hope i will be able to see Baba soon too, perhaps i should start by saving up some money for the trip! prayers would help too, so i don't mind if anyone wants to pray on my behalf as well. =P

i miss you, mummy n daddy.. n grandma, n good old sabrina, sonji n speedy.. i love u all.. =)

*Note: To read and enjoy mum's trip update, please click on the entry title. Thx! =)

Chocolate + Andy's Andrew

2008-04-22T01:30:00.009+08:00

Jonathan's uncle just opened up a chocolate cafe at Doncaster Westfield, n we went. apparently Doncaster Shopping Town has become like Pavillion in KL. it's a shame i haven't been to Pavillion. =P take a look. =)

Jonathan & Jacke

Me & Jac

Johnny tryin NOT to pose for me

Dark Chocolate - Yum

I told Jonathan he is as skinny as the bottles on the wall (we were on sugar high ;))

Then we proceeded to Andy's house to see Andrew.. Jack Russell and Maltese cross.. isn't he the cutest thing? he's only 6-month old.

Jonathan couldn't resist taking a picture with Mr Remy Martin =P

Jacqueline and Kin with the precious pooch..

~MY FAVOURITE PICTURE of ANDREW~

There was another reason why we went to Andy's place, though i cannot remember why i didn't take any pictures of him (Andy) and the main attraction.. Andy has a model Airport based on the one in his hometown (forgot which town in China). Somehow it just didn't cross my mind that i had to take pictures of his model airport, so.. Sorry Andy!

The pictures weren't too great, as it was night already as you can see.. and Andrew moves around so much. Does he remind you of Sony? those of you who've seen Sony's pictures would know. =) Adios!

Stardee

2008-04-18T00:59:00.003+08:00

it's crazy, my exam is on the 2nd May.. n i don't even have it on top of my head how many days i have left to study, and i have absolutely no intention of even thinkin how many days i have.

i knw it's next next friday, so perhaps dat's good enough? i've told my boss today dat i'll take the whole of next week off, n the next next week i'll be off too. guess wat he says? "are u leaving me? are you threatening to leave?" well, i have thought of it for one. but i'm also really broke. see mz is always broke =P it's not a good thing i know, but my money is jz not staying in my bank account. don't ask me where they went. anyway, this exam will be the 2nd exam of my 2nd subject undertaken. i've failed this same subject the last semester, dat's the simpler explanation.

i do love my boss, my colleagues n everything.. but my job.. is jz gettin boring.. which really lowers my productivity. plus i'm in a rather roller-coaster mood swings lately, which makes it even worse. i've got so much on my mind, it's not really fun to stay at one place for too long. stayin at home makes me wanna go out, at work i'm always thinkin whether i should come out with excuses to get out n walk about.. when i'm outside, i jz can't stop looking and moving around dat i annoy myself with my restlessness.

there are so many things to talk about.. so many pictures to be posted, n so many events to cover. too bad, mz is not in the mood. sorry guys..

jz wanna say a couple of things..
1. Happy 21st B'day to Rachel again, we'll make it up to u, i promise.. =)
2. Johnny, being your aka n cookin for me on thanksgiving doesn't really equal making 21 curry puffs for a 3-week-old fren. keke
3. It's great to have met you (online), Clyde. The way you speak online is so polite, and so rare nowadays.. =P
4. I can't believe Eng Wei has got 6 badges on parking wars already!! i've just got my 4th badge (2nd for the night).. =P
5. I'm more bored with Mob Wars than Parking Wars, why huh? kill kill kill or drive drive drive?

all in all, i should be studyin, but i..
feel like goin out,
feel like drinking,
feel like partyin,
feel like havin a trip somewhere,
feel like shopping (i've jz got Myers vouchers valid til sunday, shoppin anyone??),
feel like sleepin the whole day~

n i'm still loving Sara Bareilles - Gravity.. girls, plz listen to this song.. try singing it.. =) *i'm lovin it heaps!*

(Please note between 2:53 til 3:05 --> she sings it in one breath!! or so i thk)

the clip does suck a bit, but i thk it's the original one n has the best sound quality. the rest are jz live performances, great to check out when u start to love Gravity and wanna check out if she can sing the same part with the super long breath.. =P i will tell u she can.. *star struck* i'm always in awe with ppl who can sing well, which makes the list really really long.. =P anyway, not important.. important thing is dat this is a nice song.. n it's one of those u play in the background one day n decide to play it over n over again the next.. for me at least. =)

enjoy the song, as much as i do.. i know this song is gonna play in my nano for a very very long time.. =)

Mood for Songs

2008-04-11T22:19:00.003+08:00

i was just talking to Jeffrey, an old fren from junior high school abt singing n everythin.. he came to melb for his cousin's wedding and we met up. after more than a decade being friends, i guess it's only time we see more of each other. when Jeffrey was in melb, we went for a K session, and talked abt singing.. didn't know he was so into singin, n he was quite good! anyway, i was (still am) talkin to him on msn n we shared some songs.. here's my favourite Filipino singer with my favourite song from her... =) please note she also sings Jasmine's part on Aladdin's A Whole New World, Brad Kane sings Aladdin's part. enjoy~

Lea Salonga (with Brad Kane) - We Could Be In Love

before dat, he actually sent me a video of himself singing. the other day he tried to cheer me up by telling me he'll send me a video, n he did.

Jeffrey is just so good natured and kind-hearted you will not believe ppl like this still existed. anyway, i was advised to watch his video whenever i am down.. =P this video has apparently got all his frenz laughin n cryin at the same time.. happy tears i meant. i'm not about to cry happy tears, but i sincerely thank Jeffrey for his effort. Thanks Jeffrey~ =)

D50 - My 1st attempt

2008-04-04T13:42:00.005+08:00

woo hoo!! my colleague Bruce has jz loaned me his Nikon D50 and this is wat i got out of it..

ignore the background yeah, was jz randomly taking it.. since i don't have a subject. then i've taken more.. my office.. also another random shot.. see hw much work we have to do..

then i decided, uhm.. nothin else better to do.. i'll camwhore then.. =P

my pimples are so obvious.. sigh, see lar, i uglify myself for you guys to see. =P my skin is not perfect, nor is it any close to perfect. i gotta learn how to not smile that much n smoothen my upper lip.. i mean, i notice that i do not know how to smile without thinning my upper lip. my mum n sis thinks it's fake.. =P it LOOKS fake.. =P i don't have dimples by the way, so stop squinting. =)

anyway, i'm off to take more photos.. hopefully nice ones.. have a good weekend! =D

One Sunday

2008-03-16T21:43:00.004+08:00

Sundays are for relaxing.. today I have gone out with a dear friend from college. She's here from KL for her sister's convocation, and we've met up for some shopping at the Essendon DFO.

Huei Chyn and I

Bing Hong, Huey Yih, Huei Chyn and I

The lovely sisters with a (slightly) crossed-eye me

It's such a hot day you wouldn't believe it. I would say it isn't the hottest day to-date, but it's enough to make you sweat.. a lot.. It's been so hot lately, top of 38, 30, 36, 38, 39 degrees celsius.. such numbers just make you feel less fond of summer. Gosh, looking at my pictures, my hair colour doesn't even look like it's really been coloured. SIANZ.. what's the point of colouring it then? Maybe it's just to show how slow my hair regrows. And and.. Look how flat and "long" my nose is in the first picture.. So weird.. I got it from my mum. Apparently that's the significant trait my mum's family has got. Anyway, have just found out today that HC works in Singapore now. So I've got like.. a super big handful of college pals working in SGP now.. What a crowd huh? Maybe I should consider too? :P Nah, not now. ANYWAY, they're currently staying in a very nice place near the CBD, which is really appealing as I will be looking to rent a place in the city (or nearby) in the middle of the year. Goodness, I think I just change the topics too often. Shall stay focused.. *ahem* HC n HY didn't want to go karaoke with me today, which is a bit sad since I have been craving to go out. I guess I'll have to wait til this Friday when I go out with another bunch.

It's just really nice to see them again, then after meeting them I met up with Barbara for dinner. Nelayan on Swanston Street does have quite a nice TomYum Bihun. Sour and spicy enough. Yum!

I went to Coles after that to get some peaches for the week. Then I saw this!!

Couldn't resist dropping all my groceries and take a pic with it. :P Showed my sis at home and she said I looked like one of them x_x Just couldn't resist. :P I find it cute. What do you think? My standing position looks weird tho, like I was scared. Well, I did feel weird, the man offloading the meat was in the truck, still offloading. I just stood there for 2 secs to take a picture. For a moment then I wanted to put my hand on one of it for the picture. I mean, that's what people always do, isn't it??? hahaha, it's just funny. It's NOT GROSS!! :)

Good night my dears, have a good week ahead.. muakz

Sat BLVD Nite (14/4/07)

2007-04-25T21:37:00.000+08:00

This would be the 1st night of clubbin for the year 2007. I know I don't go out as much as i'd like to, but this was fun! Have a look. just a peek actually. Nicholas is Jacke's nephew from Singapore, and Ashley would be his dear gf. Nick is really innocent for a guy his age, which is a good thing. Ashley is a damn good dancer. *Salute*

Clockwise from top: Mq, Yoon, Nicholas, Ashley, Jonathan

Jacke, Mz, Alex, Carol, Ting Ting, JonathanCarol and Ting Ting are Alex's friends, they're quite cute, say the funniest things n boy do they drink a lot!

Love how we're all doin our own things and look great for this pic!

Alex, Jacke and Nicholas all high and happy

I was the designated driver, so i only had about 1 glass full of Chivas the WHOLE NIGHT! Of course the chivas was diluted with a whole lot of coke and green tea (which sucked with Chivas, btw). All the guys (except Johnny) was floating when we left Southbank. Alex wanted to stay another hour when we walked out of the club. The guys keep shaking hands with everybody, which was rather annoying coz the other ppl were so reluctant! and it was a bit embarassing, but yet so FUnny! it really was very cute to see the guys act in such ways.

Cool night, but we need more practice, n more planning. It was a bit expensive, thx to a certain lousy Kenneth from the club. Anybody who wants to go to BLVD on Saturdays, try to get Maggie, she's the bomb. Great customer service, good rapport with the guests.

That was the 14th night of the month. Up next would be my weekend trip. Stay tuned~ <3

Fun times

2007-04-06T14:07:00.000+08:00

My day

2007-02-12T20:56:00.000+08:00

Greetings dear friends, I know i haven't been updating, n i apologize for that. somehow i just don't get the kick out of goin online at home when i'm on the net the whole day while at work. Not dat i have been to work much lately, oops.. What I meant was, i took my 1st day off last Thursday, coz.. i was havin a headache..a mild one, but it's still a headache! AND i had to go view houses for lease.. there, my excuses.. my reasons, i mean. Anyway, today is Monday, and let me tell u my story. Warning: Long-winded and naggy, skip til the last bits if u're not interested.

I woke up a tad too early this morning, i didn't notice it until i left the house at 8:05am. usually i leave the house at 8:40 or 8:50am, u get my drift. i patah balik (made a U) and went home to eat breakfast, as i missed it thinkin i was late for work. i had my breakfast.. yadi yada yada.. n went to work.

20 minutes drivin, 10 more to go, i was caught up on the bz road. the fella in front of me hit the brakes n i looked left to try to switch to the left lane. there weren't any traffic lights in front, so i didn't expect the cars to stop dat much being on a 70kmph 3-lane road. but it did, almost. there were too many cars on the left, i couldn't switch lanes n when i looked back to the front, i saw the car in front of me being too close, i hit the brakes, bang.. just like dat. we both then stopped to the turn-out on the right (which is wat i suspected to be the reason y the cars in front stopped in the 1st place). The Ford Falcon Wagon didn't take too much impact, but mine did. my car looked like shit compared to his. so many thoughts rushed thru my mind.. "i love my jazz", "ouch.. my neck's gonna hurt", "shit, i was bitin my tongue!" yeah.. i was bitin on my tongue, god knows for wat reason, n i'm feelin lucky dat i didn't bite it too hard for it to bleed during the crash, n dat i didn't bite deeper or anythin. so in a way my crash was.. not too bad.. to say the least.

so now i've got my car towed.. initial cost of repair.. oh, u guyz won't wanna know, i'll keep dat to myself lar, kay? it's a heartache.. kai, i got a feelin ur bumper fix is jz a small little portion of wat i'm gonna have to pay for mine.. :( another bad news? i'm not covered by insurance, comprehensive insurance, i mean.. good news? parents are payin for it. dad was like goin "now u know money doesn't come so easy huh?" n he managed to laugh a bit on dat, so it's not so bad.. wat can i do anyway if i don't fix the car up? sell? nah.. i love my parents.. they're still the best, n still the most influencial ppl in my life.

anyway, i'm fine guys.. don't have to worry. i've got a courtesy car to drive n jacke's also got one.. his car also in the garage mar.. :P well, jz plz pray for me dat the bumper i like is not TOO expensive.. since i've got the chance to change a new one, might as well.. hor? :P jacke says i'm in a FORCED-TO-MOD situation, so i wanna get a sportier bumper. lost out on a chance to get a carbon fibre bonnet someone was sellin.. have a feelin it's jim seng gf's car. -_-" oh well, it's sold anyway, n apparently a lot of other stuffs for sale. think they're gonna sell dat jazz n buy another car. okay, gtg liao.. need to sleep.. take care dearies.. luvyall..

My New Adidas

2007-01-07T17:03:00.000+08:00

I went shoppin yesterday @ DFO Moorabin.. n bought this. *please take a moment to admire*

Super cute, super nice, indoor shoes. I actually do need a pair of shoes to walk around in during colder days, wearin open-toe shoes does attract attention i don't need. "wah, now winter u still wear sandals ar? ur toes not cold mer?" -_-"

Let me demonstrate, my new shoes are so soft, they can do this.

So I reckon it'll be easy to wash, perhaps I'll put them into a washbag n chuck it into the washing machine. Then perhaps I'll put them into the dryer afterwards? Wah, time saving, good good.

Best thing about the shoe? It's cheap.. AND I didn't pay for it. Jacke did. haha

Wearing this pair of Adidas makes me feel so light, I'm prancing the house in it. haha

Christmas Pictures

2007-01-04T22:26:00.000+08:00

Christmas Eve @ St Patrick's. One word: Divine!Last but not least..
I love these two cutesies.. :D

Okay, I've actually got more photos, of the Archbishop of Melbourne and those of the cathedral, but i'm jz too lazy to show them to u, sorry yeah! Btw, I've rented a car for tomorrow's driving test, will be pickin it up then goin for the test at 12:15pm. I just hope I'm calm enough to not screw it up. I'm also hoping dat i'll get the air-cond temperature right so my armpits won't be soaking wet, or dat the invigilator feels chilly. ANYWAY, Good luck to me AGAIN!

I've finally bought a black little book to write my thoughts in, not dat it'll replace the blog. jz the little extra space to write wat i think n all. n probably my plans too, n ideas etc. i wanna be able to draw stuffs onto it, n stick some stickers or somethin in it. i really ought to find my blade n to cut things up, coz dat's wat i like. cut papers i mean, not other things. i wish dat in the new year, this year of 2007, i'll be hardworking enough to finish some projects dat i've started. Make some plans, my friends.. n meet them. I jz found my 2005 resolution (dat i stuck on my cork board, n realised dat i didn't really keep ALL of the resolutions, but i did succeed in about 30% of it. I'm plannin to do better than dat this year, not jz more than 30%, but MORE.. of course the more the better, but i'll do my best. What about u??

Goodbye 2006

2006-12-31T19:33:00.000+08:00

It's the last day of 2006, n I'm thinkin about my days in 2006, wat I've done, wat I've accomplished etc. I'm also thinkin about wat I want to do in the comin year, wat I hope to achieve.

Today I've received a chance to do a good deed, and I'm proud to say that I have no regrets not goin out to enjoy the crowded atmosphere down at the city watchin fireworks. Yoon and his sis needed a place to move out today, and we've been called to help. There's a spare bedroom upstairs reserved for Alex in Feb, but since it's empty now, we've let Yoon and his sister to stay a while. 3 of us drove our cars to Yoon's place and helped him move his belongings out. 4 cars loaded (not even full) and we've got everything. I'd imagine puttin my belongings into 4 of our cars, and I'm not sure if I'll have everything in. :P Anyway, it's doin a good deed, and I'm grateful dat I've got the opportunity to offer help.

I'm becomin increasingly grateful to the man above, and of course to those who've lent their hands to me when I was in need. Most of all they would be my parents, for their love and care, and of course, the financial support. We can't just feed on love, put it in a more practical way, and I'm blessed with parents who are able to take care of me and my siblings, put a roof over our heads, food to our mouth, clothes to our bodies, education and so on. I'm just really thankful, for all the things I have, all the people I love.

It's the month of December, and I'm missing my friends. I miss Charz, Kai, Elaine and Joey so so so much. Of course there are the rest of u dat I won't name here. Not havin my girlz here with me is not easy, no where to hang out, no one to go shoppin with, coffee n mamak sessions, together with all our sleepovers. I've got to admit, I've never really had sleepovers at friend's place until I met you girlz.

I shan't go on for too long, I just wish dat everyone could be happy and healthy. I really sincerely hope dat I'll keep to my resolutions (i'm still writin them), mainly to keep atop of my finances, not dat i'm in debt or anythin; to keep my weight and at the same time be a bit more fit than how I am now. Yeah, dat's probably the 2 most important things I have in mind now.. Oh oh, n I'll make sure I do well in my CPA papers.

Wish me luck, and I wish u all the best.

God bless all of u, have a Happy New Year.

p/s: Happy New Year to u too, Baba~

Hooray

2006-12-12T20:55:00.000+08:00

Hooray to Mz! Congratulate me, i got a job!

It was thru networking again, not thru my own hardwork tho. but i'm so glad i'll be workin right now, x'mas just around the corner, n i'd be left totally broke n wouldn't have any money to shop.

It was Jacke's daddy's b'day on the 9th, Happy B'day Uncle Charlie~
Yesterday was my own daddy's b'day, Muakz n Happy B'day to u daddy~~
Today, today is a special day.. It's my 3rd anniversary with Jacke..

*pops confetti.

The weather is just a drag these days, i went to work today in a long sleeve shirt folded up to my elbow, it felt pretty chilly this mornin. then i was sweatin my way til the end of the day. Bugger weather.. Poor Australia is havin a draught tho.. heard on the radio dat there were about 20 homes destroyed in rural Victoria. I hope the situation won't worsen as the wind is said to have changed directions to the North West today.

Need more work clothes, short sleeve ones.. SOON!! i only have 2, n they seem a bit.. childish.. or inappropriate. doesn't matter, i'm wearin one tomorrow. Tmr's weather warmer than today, don't wanna sweat like a pig, since the air-conditioning is a bit weird.

Let me talk a bit on my work.. it's not really a permanent job, n it's not even really on accounting, which i studied on. Hoey Im Jie's fren Mark owns an IT company, it basically supplies all ur IT needs, from software, hardware, networking.. etc. i'm not really an IT person, u see, so i'll leave it an "etc". For now i'll be workin under George, the Network Division Manager, but THAT doesn't make me Assistant Manager, okay? i'm only an assistant to the manager. keke, i don't even know wat my position is called, if there is even a name for it. Anyway, George is really a nice guy, he works real fast n being a "mountain tortoise" as i am, today would be the 1st day i've ever really seen someone usin 2 screens. IT IS COOL!!!!!! George says I might need 2 screens when i'm more settled at work, coz i need to get a lot of things done. Gosh, there's so much documentation to do.. n i had a Subway 6-inch Chicken Fillet on a wheat bread. That's not relevant, anyway.. i'm hoping to help George in watever he needs, be as efficient as i can, try to fit enough things to call it a productive day. Hectic, i'd imagine, they have so little ppl in the office, which is pretty big. So far I've also met the GM, Steve, who's been offering my advice on my accounting career (he's a CA n he has a practice!!), Lynn (she does HR & Accounting), Bory (korean software engineer with the msn nick "I HATE WORK" ahha). then there's Chris (dunno wat he does) n there's the cleaning lady Cathy. Of course there's also Mark in the office.

Haven't been gettin enough sleep lately, i keep wakin up in the middle of the night. I can't really sleep face up, but sleepin sideways is givin me aches on my arms, which is nasty.. n i wake up becoz of dat. then when the sun is up at about 5am, i wake up again even tho it's not time yet. then when i get cold, i wake up again, when i'm feelin too hot, i wake up. sheessh, no wonder i have eye-bags.. mum n dad has said i've never really slept much as a child, always up n about. but i do love sleep!! n i can't sleep til 4pm on some days, given there's total quietness n i've been able to shut the sunlight out, n dat the temperature is just nice.. n i have been tired. hah! too much to ask for. anyway, today's also the last day of sales for Sass & Bide, which i am hoping to go but forgot. never mind, i'll save up for post x'mas sale.

So i guess i won't be able to go back to KL for now, since i'm gonna be workin. Payday is before x'mas, n the company will be closing from the 23rd Dec til 7th Jan. That's basically 3 weeks without pay for me. Payday is also every fortnight, which i think is quite good. keke well, i gotta draft out my expenses by tomorrow so i can give Steve a figure. I think he's gonna determine how much i'll be paid n how i'll be paid. Up til now, we haven't decided if i should be paid by the hour, by the week or by the month. Oh well, we'll see how.

So how are my girls?? n guys..? :P Joey's fiction has been goin rather slowly i think, but it's still fun to read. I read dat Charz has went out with Kai n Shuj, which is great. Albert's goin back to HK, altho mama wants him to stay in S'pore. Sigh, I miss all of u guys so much.

i guess i'll see u guyz in another while, hopefully in real life, not just online. But right now i htink i should focus more on work, n gettin more money for shoppin!! :P ek, wrong answer.

BTW, Jacke bought me a really nice pendant from Swarovski. There's the pink heart with a lil butterfly on the side. It looks like this, but the pink is alot darker, n nicer! I lost the diamond necklace while on the Redang trip, he's a bit pissed with dat. Well, i didn't do it on purpose.. :( But Thanks darling.. i really like it..

Anyway, i should go sleep now. Will do pictures another time, since i'm usin my sis' computer anyway. i nicked it from her place last weekend, now i'm playin games with it. keke Alrighty, love ya guyz.. bbyez :*

Gadget

2006-12-12T20:52:00.000+08:00

BTW, just a side note. The Motorola V3XX is out in Aunstralia, n Jacke's got one of the black ones today. Sigh, i kinda fell out of the SE 850i, wonder when i'll find one dat catches my eye again.

Oh, n i'll be workin on ebay a bit soon, sellin PDA phones.. keke saw one today, used i-mate PDA2k. check them out.

Ooh, n i got a new corp email add. :P email me for it.

Slacker update

2006-11-24T18:26:00.000+08:00

Beware: Long long long pictoria post. hehe Enjoy readin.. ;)

I've been on slacker mode since.. forever. So much has happened lately, n I have yet found the passion to blog. Emotions are still very much fluctuating, but very much kept at bay with Hero JJ by my desktop. hehe

Be careful not to get sucked in by his eyes like I would. Just adorable *sigh.

I've gone kuku the other day n decided to curl my hair for a bit.. as my curler tong didn't really work, I curled my hair up in sections (jz anyhow grab) n slept with it thru the night. It gave me a headache the next morning, with all the hairclips n curling liquid n stuff on m head. I loved how it gave me big hair. Charz, Kai, Elaine n Joey would have remembered how I loved BIG hair. I undid all the hairclips n made my hair fluffy. Don't expect to see nicely curled tresses, coz this is simply DIY and by all means, not pro work.
Initial curl before I went to bed.
TADAA~ the next morning.

So, do u guys like my BIG hair? Throughout the whole process, I took 166 pictures, gosh, I'm so vain I can't even stand it. But u gotta admit, I do look nice in curly hair too, right? Maybe curl more than half way up to the top, not jz the bottom part.

My 1st curl - May 2005.

So? What do u guyz think? Pardon the look on my face, takin a picture with a diff hairstyle does feel a bit weird n unnatural. Anyway, my hair is half black n half coloured, not too obvious, if u ask me. I would wanna colour it again before end of the year, right now it needs a trim. Anyone wants to sponsor my trip to the salon? Plz email me. :P

Ah, I was jz foolin around. Then on the hot Sunday (19th Nov), Jacke brought us all flyin. All as in he did 3 flights,

1st with Alex the China man n Ronald,

2nd with kuku Yoon, Linda n I,

3rd with Cindy, Venice & Amy.

It was great, since I haven't been Jacke's passenger for a long while already. Yoon was a lil afraid of the whole "fake engine failure" experience, altho I bet he enjoyed the flight. The 3rd flight should be most fun, being more of a "Roller Coaster" ride than a sight-seeing flight around town. We kinda took the usual route, Moorabin (airport) - Phillip Island - French Island - Melbourne City (orbit) - Frankston - Moorabin.

Pilot Jacke & his 3 passengers

Then Jacke did a lil turning to the right, n we took this picture. Note the scenery outside.

This was how Yoon was like after the turn, n some "engine failures", which made the plane all quiet while droppin a lil towards the ground. See all the nerves on his hand? Haha, he was holding on to dear life n screaming at Jacke the whole time. "Jacke, u don't f**king do that again or I'll f**k u upside down when we get down this f**kin plane!" Hahaha, it was so funny Linda n I were laughin our heads off at the back.

I did a lil cam-whorin at the back while we head north to the city. ;P

1. All famous Luna Park at St Kilda,2. One of the biggest malls in Victoria - Southland Shopping Centre,3. dunno wat it is, but love the design. :P
4. Melbourne tourist attraction - Queen Victoria Market,5. Yarra River from the West side of the CBD,6. CBD view from afar, misty n close to the beach.

7. Approaching runway at Moorabin Airport,8. See anything u might fancy?

Okay, that's all for today, will update again soon as there are more stuff to write about. I'm off to participate in the HK-style BBQ at home. It means everyone holdin a skewer n cook their own food. I bet we'll end up cookin the food in the oven. :P Byez

Emotional flood

2006-11-16T16:41:00.000+08:00

My emotional being is at its low again, tonnes of thoughts are weighin me down, it seems so hard to pull myself up. I have been thinking a lot lately, maybe because I'm slackin in job hunting again. There are so much to think about, that being alone at home at times or being poor wouldn't help at all.

This is what I have been doin for the past few days:
1. Play Fish Tycoon from Reflexive, currently I have discovered 99 out of the supposed 400 species and in that have 5 magic fishes out of 7. The game keeps me occupied, I can stare at my tanks for a long time without doin anythin else. The magic isn't workin so much anymore, need other things to do.

2. Read Joey's fan fiction as the story still progresses. I must say that it's quite a chick lit. Very entertaining and very very nice to read. Learning up about the group in the story - DBSK has been quite fun, it keeps my mind from running amok. I'm droolin over Hero Kim JaeJoong from DBSK currently. He's got really powerful eyes, a good voice, and very very very cute. Remember my desktop post where I didn't put anythin up? Now I do, n it's JaeJoong's picture.

Dunno if Joey wants her fanfic to be advertised here, but they're up at this site. Lookin at JaeJoong's picture, I think I'd rather be obsessed with his looks than to be thinkin of my own problems. Sigh, I'm a runner.

3. My brother is in Melbourne! Me, my sis n him had dim sum in Sharks Fin House in the city yesterday, it was good to see him again. It's been.. wat.. since December that I last saw him. Mq says Wz's face sharpened, that he lost weight again. To me, I dunno, my bro has jz been so skinny all his life, I wonder if he has received any of the "Fat" genes. Wz also asked us if we thought his nose got a little shappier. Yes, his nose, and No, he did not get any surgery or whatsoever that is fake. His nose just.. sharpened up, jz like his face. It's impossible that losing weight would mean your nose would change it's shape (albeit slightly) but I know my bro's no Pinochio. Wz wants to keep his hair long, but I think he desperately needs a haircut, keepin ur hair long doesn't mean you don't need a trim. I wanna psycho Wz to cut n style his hair like JaeJoong's. :P Wz's hair length is about slightly longer than JaeJoong's hair in the pic I posted on top. See? I get so happy talkin about JJ, n of course my family too.

4. It's kinda gettin lonelier here in Melbourne.. With Albert, Eric Ping and Cara gone, there's really not many others that I'm close with. I mean, keep my family aside, there's only maybe Min Hui and Lee Inn left. Min Hui's goin back early December, Lee Inn's always busy workin. Oh, Linda's also goin back 1st December.. April.. I can still ask her out for lunch, but I'm not sure if she's busy. There's just no more other people that I can call out for lunch anymore. Alex the China man has agreed to stay with us, taking over Cara's room, but only in February. He's been around the house quite a lot of late, studyin n foolin around with Jacke and Ronald. So hopefully I can get more friends around here, a bit doubtful, since I'm not studyin or workin.

5. Job hunting has been slow, a lot of vacancies are comin up for undergraduates, one day per week. I'm not qualified of course, and even vacancies for fresh graduates require 1 or 2 yrs of working experience, which I don't have. Sigh, sigh and more sigh. I'm still working on some cover letters, hopefully will send my resumes out again in a few more days.

6. Out of loneliness, I called Charlotte early this mornin n talked to her for almost 4 hours. It felt great, to be chattin to her again. Afterall, I don't spend much on international calls, but when I do, it'll be a lot in one shot. Joey called me this.. evening actually. She woke me up, hehe. I only went to sleep at about 7+ this morning after the phone conversation with Charlotte, and woke up to Joey's call around 4+pm. Crazy time, I know. Talkin to Joey further brought me away from my sorrows, which was good. We only talked for about half an hour or so, then she had to go eat. JOEY, TAKE CARE OF YOUR GASTRIC PROBLEM AR, PLEASE.

7. Sweets, I've finished my packet of Starburst Jelly Beans. At least the colours that I like. There are only the orange and green ones left. Orange and I think, lime flavour. Ewh.. Don't like them. Have also bought myself a small box of GuyLian Belgian Praline Chocolates. It's only a box of 3, you know how big a GuyLian choc is. it's about a Malaysian 50 cent coin. Had 1 and a half yesterday, now finishin the other half. I'll leave the last one for tonight or somethin.. I think I'll die without sweets.

Finally, Jacke's last paper will end at 12noon tmr. Then I can somehow stop worryin about him not studyin. It's not that he doesn't study, I just don't see him study enough. I have to keep myself in the room when the boys study at the dining hall, ocassionally come out to quiet them or ask them to study n everythin. His exams, I stress.. Sigh.. But it'll all be over tmr. So he can start planning his flights on the weekend, Linda's younger sisters Venice and Amy plus their cousin Cindy wanted to fly around the city with Jacke before they all head back to KL. So because 1 plane can only take 4 people (1 pilot + 3 passengers) at a time, Jacke's doin 2 rounds, one with Venice, Amy and Cindy, another round with Linda, Yoon and me. Hopefully the weather will permit, Sat weather with a top of 21, Sun weather top of 28 degrees.

Sigh, what to eat for dinner? Dinner last night at Jade's is quite good, I love Jade. It's my default restaurant... Default default.. Dunno where to go? Jade. Feel like comfort food? Jade. Wanna watch HK TVB? Jade. haha, Jade's tauke aunty likes talkin to us too, and she kept commenting how thin I was. I reckon she's slimmer, she's a lil taller but we're about the same weight. Funny how an aunty compares her weight and build with me. Hehe, she's still thinner okay. Jade is a HK-style cafe restaurant. Very much like Kimgary or Mongkok restaurant in KL, but not as commercialised. They still have cheesebaked rice and everythin, but I'd prefer the Portugese-style baked chicken spaghetti. That's what I had yesterday night. At least the rice they cook here is softer and more moist than Kimgary's. I'd take Jade anytime over Kimgary.

Okay, cukup.. enough. My total intake of only half a piece of chocolate since 12am this mornin is not makin me hungry, just yet. But I don't wanna continue whining, so.. bye.

I'm a scare-dy cat

2006-11-11T02:46:00.001+08:00

This proves it, i'm a scare-dy cat. Yoon, Linda, Ronald, Jacke n i went for THE movie.. The movie everyone was waitin to watch, the movie which will turn everyone's guts inside out and make everyone hide behind their jackets or coats or partners.. or whoever is beside them.

It was Saw III, sequel of the movie which wrenched our stomaches when we watched it in Nov last year - Saw II.

Linda's a hardcore scary movie fan, not the funny Scary Movie, but the real horror ones. We bought the tickets n some refreshments into the cinema, plz note that the coffee sucks in the Glen Waverly Village Cinemas. Cinema 3, that's where we were in.. Soon after we got in, the movie started, we all sat at the last row of the cinema. The startin part was already gross, with... Hold on a second, has everyone here watched the show yet? I shouldn't tell yeah? Anyway, I saw one guy hurting himself, another guy ripping his own flesh but end up dead, n another lady being chained up. Okay, dat was all I saw.. for Saw III.

Jacke wasn't very fond of horror films, n I was kinda not in the mood for one, so.. we tried to leave n sneak into Cinema 2 where they were playing Jackass Number 2. There was the cinema employee who saw us out of our seats.. Then we jumped a bit, thinkin we wouldn't be able to sneak into the other cinema. "Er.. we're a lil too scared to watch the movie, could we maybe get into another movie?" I asked. He completely understood how we felt and told us that The Wrong Man* was showing in Cinema 5. Being an all-time Bruce Willis fan, I'd pick his flick anytime over any other movie.

* Note: The flick is called The Wrong Man in Australia but named Lucky Number Slevin in the US.

The Wrong Man had already started runnin when we went in, but we tried to make out the front part so we wouldn't miss much.

BRUCE WILLIS IS SUCH A HOTTIE~

Look at his dreamy starry eyes *-*

I dunno y I like Bruce Willis so much, Josh Hartnet (pardon me, but how do u even spell his name?) was alright in the movie, except dat his character had to be punched in the nose n had a scar on it n everythin. All I ever did notice about Josh is that his nose is crooked! Morgan Freeman was alright too, the fact that he wasn't playin a super big character was a bit of a bummer. I liked Morgan Freeman. :) But Bruce Willis is still my favorite :> hehe Lucy Liu did a good job as Lindsey too, her cheeky character fits her perfectly.

So we were in Cinema 5 watchin The Wrong Man for 5 minutes then the 3 of them came to join us. haaha, they gave in too! Mostly because Yoon wasn't a horror flick fan as well n that we were already out of the Saw III cinema, so it was really big-hearted of Linda to give in to watch another movie.

The movie plot was a good one, with the twist and turns in between that really kept me guessing. I didn't regret or anythin because I switched movies, watchin Bruce Willis was the ultimate dessert for tonight. I wouldn't say Bruce Willis had a big role in the movie, or that it involved a lot of action like his other movies, but he wasn't the main character, so the focus wasn't really on him. He posed a lot, mainly stayed straight faced, or with that little infamous smile. Okay, enough of Bruce Willis, I'll keep the drooling to myself. hehe

I'll watch Saw III on DVD, I promise. :P

Earlier today - on My test:

I woke up 10am this mornin, bathed n washed my hair. Chose some comfy clothing knowin today will be a warm day n prepared myself for my HPT test at 11:20am. Tryin to keep my cool for the test, I did everythin I could from smoothin my hair with some serum, make sure I had a bit of make up on (it does perk my mood up a bit) n ate half a cup of Kellogs Just RIght. I slowly walked to the car at 10:55am wearin my sunnies n slippers, keepin my cool. I started the car n decided dat I should look at my appointment sheet again, just to make sure.

It reads 9:20am.. -_-"

I don't know if I was just being plain stupid, or just being plain stupid. I just couldn't believe my luck. I have only slept 3 hours at most, prep-ed myself for an hour, n now I'm back to square ZERO.. The lady who booked my appointment told me it was 11:20am, n Jacke heard it too.

Mum says it's poor planning, or no planning at all. INDEED, it's all my fault that all this is happening, yeah? That all of the bad luck is just my lack of planning, that I didn't look closely enough, or check whether I was being correct or not. It's never bad luck, it's always human error.

Jacke comforted me, tellin me dat he wouldn't have looked at the appointment sheet too, if he was in my shoes. Thx dear, but it couldn't be undone. I deeply appreciate your efforts today, cheerin me up, movie n everythin.

But yet.. it's another $24.40 wasted..

Today was supposed to be a happy day, Alex took his exam this morning, then he would join me, Jacke n Ronald for Yum Cha, which means dim sum here in Melbourne. We had our dim sum at Han Palace in Vermont South, then all of us headed to the Burwood Vicroads.

I was supposed to have my driving test today, 3:20pm. We arrived at about 2:55pm, then sat in my car for a while to get me to cool down. I'm always pretty nervous before tests, but I never filnched when i do exams or go up the stage. It's the small things that REALLY scare me. Like the time when I did my IELTS test? I couldn't sleep the night before!! Anyway, the point is i'm scared of small tests.

We got in to the licensing centre, n I asked if my Honda Jazz was suitable for a driving test. The officer behind the counter confirmed with me that my Jazz could not be used for a drivin test, as the speedometer could not be seen from the front passenger seat. *screaming in my head* I only had 20 minutes left before my test, Jacke n I drove to the Mitcham Hertz car rental to get a Toyota Corolla, hopefully just in time for my test. Then guess what happened? I took the wrong turn back to the licensing centre, n had to wait at the tracks for 2 trains to cross. TWO TRAINS! God is really testing my patience, even though I don't think I flare out very violently. I finally got back to Vicroads n this is wat happened.

Me: Hi, I'm sorry I'm late. Would I still..(being cut off)

Officer (Ofc): It's okay, but you're not taking the test today..

Me: Is it because it's past 3:20pm? (knowin dat there's a 10 min grace period)

Ofc: No, regardless of the time, you are not taking the test today, your Hazard Perception Test (HPT) results have expired.. The results only last for 12 months, it doesn't matter if it was a day expired, you would not be able to take the driving test.

Me: Oh, so when did my HPT expire?

Ofc: 3 months ago..

Me: But when I booked myself in for the drivin test, the officer said it would be fine.

(Ofc looks at the date my appointment was made, 23 OCT 2006!!)

Ofc: I don't know which officer told you that, but it's expired, you'll have to re-take the HPT and make another appointment for the drivin test.

Me: Okay, thankyou.

Can you imagine this?? I've waited so bloody long for the test and now I've f*cked up. So I took a number and waited for my turn to reschedule my driving test n to book myself in for the HPT (AGAIN!!). HPT is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:20am, and my driving test? You wouldn't believe it, it's 5th December.. 8:40am! Buggers.. On days like these, when I'm at my poorest, I have to incur extra unnecessary costs, this is just absurd.

EXTRA Costs involved:

Appointment reschedule 10.60
HPT 24.40
Car Rental (now useless) 76.00

Grand Total $111.00!!!

I would be so pissed if I didn't have to rent another car for the test, but now it's been paid for, n it's sitting outside the garage becoz no one has got any use for it. And come to think of it, who's fault is it? It's not like I have to blame somebody everytime somethin goes wrong, but analysis of the matter is just inevitable. PLUS it's not really my fault.

Primarily, it's the stupid male officer (he was in the office too jz now) who booked my appointment on the 23 Oct, n told me it would be okay to take the drivin test today. If it wasn't for his negligence, I wouldn't have to go through all these. My HPT expired 3 months ago?? Then by 23rd Oct, HE would have known that it's expired, right? Why book me in n make this unnecessary mistake?? Totally totally pissin me off.

Secondly, I wanna blame Honda. Why does Honda need to cover up the speedometers so only the driver can see?? It's not like it looks really nice or somethin, it's just so.. argh...

Forgive me ppl, for I'm on a rage.. It doesn't help when I come home, check my email and received another few rejection letters from companies whose jobs I applied for.

It's just not my day.

P/S: HPT is taken to test how fast your reactions are, it consists of 75 questions, all in video form where you're supposed to click the mouse once when you think you should react to the situation. Eg. click when u think it's time to slow down, stop or signal. somethin like dat. i nearly fell asleep the last time i took it.

Til I see you again

2006-11-07T16:35:00.001+08:00

On Saturday night we had a farewell dinner for Cara, my dear one and only female housemate. Havin booked the Doncaster TGIF for 7:30pm, we were an hour late. Cara of course by now have left Melbourne, reuniting with her parents again in HK. Her mum was really cute, very hippy n fun, n her dad had a serious face, but he had a lot of patience, watchin us play mahjong with aunty.. :P Here are our pictures for TGIF, our last meal with Cara..

The It couple (Wilson & Cara)

The "other" couple (Yoon & Linda - i love this pic, so funny!)

The "normal" couple (Jacke & I)
I didn't know wat to name this last couple, so i just thought "normal" would suffice.Then there's the..

The single guy (Ronald - he's available, email me for his no. :P)
The lovely sisters (Linda & Venice)

The girly housemates (Mz & Cara)

All of us

Cara has switched from Xanga to Blogger, yippee.. from now on i can leave her comments. haha hopefully she'll update often, would very much like to know how she is in HK. let me tell u guyz, Cara can sing very well, very good Karaoke kaki.. :P i love listenin to her rendition of Joey Young's songs.. n i especially love "Lovin' You", the song for a sanitary pad ad. keke

Fastforward to Last night..

I got my car back from sis, we had dinner together then proceeded to St Kilda beach (marina, actually) for a stroll. It was a windy night, n becoz Jacke n i had to show the others (Yoon, Linda, Ronald & Alex) the lil penguins dat reside in the water breakers of the marina, we were there again.. So here they are, these are the smallest penguins in the world. Usually we have to pay like $11 n go all the way to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade down south of Melbourne to watch them. It's like this, the penguins come out of the sea in the evening (during sunset) after their fishing trip, march from the beach back to their homes in the bush areas. There'll be about a hundred or two of them takin lil steps marchin home, n all the while we will be really close, sometimes within an arm's reach, n we're not allowed to take pictures of them. This time at St Kilda, becoz there wasn't any authorities there, we took pictures, stupid blinding flashes may hurt the penguins eyes, but i'm sorry, i had to take a picture of them.. a few.. So here, for my lovely readers.. :)

These 2 are taken from different "holes", the 1st one usin camera flash, n the 2nd one i used a torchlight, equally blinding.. but aren't they cute??

n i've finally taken a night shot dat i can actually see somethin!! usually they're all pitch black with some dots of light from the buildings. n guess wat, i didn't use the night mode setting with this pic, i used the "underwater" mode. haha dat's probably y it's slightly reddish, or orangy.. underwater pictures are probably blue-ish, n they'd need the red n orange tint to balance the colours.. dat's my take on it anyway.

Oh well, i'm hoping i'd be able to see my frenz again.. Let's hope i'll make enough money to save up for a trip to HK, then we can all meet up for shopping, coffee n bitch about everythin! haha

Til I see you guyz again.. muakz n hugz.. i love havin u guyz for company..

Sugar High

2006-11-04T21:59:00.000+08:00

i know i haven't been blogging, but u know.. procrastinating to blog has left me with tonnes of pictures at frenz gatherings n events n i dunno where to start. okay, lame excuse.. i've just been lazy.. :(

thx to bf jacke, i'm on sugar high now... again.. for those of u who know, i'm a sweet addict. i eat sweets all the time if they're available, n when i buy any, i buy them in bulk. currently i'm being fed the Mentos Plus, blackcurrent flavored. it's the box packaging dat makes it so much neater (not needing to tear away paper for the tube ones) n so accessible.. for the past 5 minutes or so, i've chewed about 10 of them mentos.. yeah, i chew them, i don't leave them in my mouth to melt, they're chewies! not the normal chewies, chewies are like chewing gum, but since i've kinda stopped chewing gum, chewy sweets are my fave. jacke gave me this packet about 4 hours ago before dinner, n after givin away about 5 of them, i still have (SHIT!) 3 of them left now.. n i only started eating after dinner.. :( gosh, they're not even sugar free, n i'm told to cut down on sugar as i've got a family history of diabetes.

*lookin at my packet of mentos, sittin right in front of me now*

aww.. they're just sweets.. but finishin a packet today.. uhm.. 1 day only wor.. *struggling*

one more, just one more.. then i'll leave the remaining 2 in the box. hehe

hahaha, i've just popped one into my mouth then "WEi!" my bf shouted.. *stunned* he took the box from me n took a pill for himself. "i counted dat u ate more than 10 in the past hour, u just kept popping n popping n popping them into ur mouth eh.." ((don't tell jacke it wasn't 1 hr, it was.. a lot less.. hehe))

1 mentos left.. *sigh*

i'll keep it for tmr.. but then hor.. if i keep for tmr then i won't be able to get the satisfaction of eating jz 1 mentos, would i?? *remembering i still have passionfruit-flavoured tic-tacs in the pantry* UHM... okay lar, leave it for tmr.

Topic 2: my weird liking
i'm using the word "liking" here coz obsession is too strong of a word to use. some of u who are close enough to me knows i have this "thing" for guyz who have exceptionally high-pitched voices. not the speaking voice, it's the singing voice. this means i love listening to Michael Jackson, Jeff Chang, Terry Lin, just to name a few. yesterday while i was you-tubing Terry Lin, i stumbled upon the name Vitas. some of u may have already heard of his name, or his singing, which is absolutely mind-numbing. i watched a few of his vids on you-tube, n found dat i'm kinda addicted to listening to him. some of his songs are eerie, probably becoz he sings in russian or some other language dat i don't understand, but mostly becoz the tunes are.. eerie.

watch this, n then tell me wat u think.
Vitas - Opera No.2 (his 1st hit in Dec '02)

Now tell me eerie or not? even his MV also one kind one.. u saw the "things" on his neck in the MV? looked like gills, don't they?

YAY, bf asked if i finished the mentos, asked me to finish it n say he'll buy me more tmr. keke

*UMH* hehe

the other Vitas song dat i quite like.. soothing yet keeps u on ur nerves.. watch out for the part in the 2:54 minute.

i'm replayin this song over n over.. dunno the name of it tho..

Here's the Wiki version of Vitas' biodata. i'd say his official site doesn't cover too much, except for some pictures. wanna know more? google him instead. okay, my mentos are out, i'm feelin a bit down already.. withdrawal symptoms.. *crazy*

Gambling

2006-10-23T02:50:00.000+08:00

This time yesterday, jacke, ronald n i were in the car, drivin home from Linda's place. We went out for dinner at the Riversdale Hotel Bistro. I dunno much about bistros, but my perception of a bistro is much like a pub, dark, alcohol, big hairy men. No no, this one isn't like that at all. I saw a lot of old ppl, as in, retired, enjoyin life, walk with a cane kind. I would say apart from my group n the staff, the average age of the customers is 45. Probably higher, but i'm just guessin. The Pokies is just next door, so i saw some slot machines from where i seated. The bar is still there, but there was no one sittin at the bar with their drinks. The whole place was brightly lit, not as dim as i have imagined.. AND, you queue to buy food. Yep, how weird is dat?? No one takes your orders from your table, you queue up to order n pay for food (beverage to be ordered from the bar) then look for a table to sit down.

Jonathan, or "Ke Leng" as we call him, brought us here. For those of you not familiar with the Hokkien language, "Ke Leng" means Indian. No prizes for guessin dat right. ;) His fren works in the kitchen, so he basically brought us here to pay his fren a visit.. *sweat* We paid 15 bucks for 2 jugs of coke, n i paid 25.90 for my steak, salty, if i may add. The texture of the meat was good, there were some burnt parts n the sauce was salty. It was a so-so meal, too expensive for the quality we're payin.

After the meal, we headed to Linda's place for poker! More accurately Texas Hold'em. My 1st time playin this game, our capital was 21.50. Capital amount was alright, since our normal mahjong capital is 65 bucks, with the occassional loss of more than dat amount in the last few games. Not me lar of course, i don't suck dat bad in mahjong. But in this Texas Hold'em, i must admit i was a bit nervous. Bf Jacke, Ronald, Jonathan, Yoon n i played. Linda was supposed to finish up her 3000-word assignment, but i doubt she even touched her assignment last night. hehe We started at 11:30pm, n the game ended close to 5am.

It's hard playin with them, perhaps it's becoz i'm not familiar with the rules or even the skill of playin the game. Jon was unwilling to lose, no no.. That's not wat it is.. Jon wanted to win, to maximise any winnings he could squeeze out of us. Ronald was blur as usual, just following the flow, ppl play, he play, ppl don't play, he don't play. And adding to that, he drank alcohol more than all of us, downing at least 2 glasses of reds, n a Tiger, i think. Very unusual of Ronald, if u ask me. The time we were at April's house for the 70s party, he got pissed (angry, not alcohol pissed) coz the host persuaded him to drink! O_O Anyway, Yoon was rather vulgar the whole night, jokingly dissin off Jon for not playin n Ronald for playin. haha It was funny, but it wasn't really fun. Jon's attitude in the game, was like.. real gambling, not playin for fun with money. I know Jacke was alright, couldn't even catch him bluffing when he did. hehe

I played for fun, to me it was just passing time. It didn't matter if i lost all 21.50, we were just hangin out as frenz. At the end of the game, only Yoon lost. :P Jacke won about 3+, Jon won about 7+, Ronald broke even, n i.. Smart Mz.. Guess how much i won?

drumroll plz..

A GRAND TOTAL OF 80.. CENTS..

haha, good huh? 80 cents in my 1st game, i'm so proud of myself.. keke Although there was once i lost around 200 on Carribean Studs at the casino. That was my worst. I don't gamble very often lar, i'm not a gambler, okay? Don't worry my frenz, this is controlled gambling.. My loss at Carribean Studs kinda started with my winning at other tables, more than wat i lost, so i didn't really lose much of anythin.. Except for sleep, coz i was kinda like.. playin Carribean Studs at this hour too.. hehe Okay, enough about me gambling experiences, i'm off to bed, it's my bed time now.

Adios amigos~ Tata ^-^

Isn't it gorgeous?

2006-10-19T01:23:00.000+08:00

Okay, i must admit dat i have been secretly lookin for a phone to buy for a long while now. why secretly? coz no money mar, cannot anyhow say wanna buy phone. my SE S700i still functions alright, but since i've used the phone for 20 months now (since Feb 05), i figured it could be time i change to a new phone.

it's really a good phone, except dat u can't accept ur calls once in a while (which is not often), n ur caller ID doesn't show ur contact when he/she calls (rather often). maybe becoz there was once when i dropped the phone on the concrete floor, it split into 4 parts - main component, battery, batt cover n sim card. all 4 parts flew out from my handbag n dat was a very "ouch" moment for me. so ladies, plz ensure u zip/close ur handbags properly to avoid any "ouch" moments like these from happening. but being a typical careless person who doesn't know how to take care of her gadgets, Ms See here scratched n dented the phone in every possible way. it's quite a good thing dat the screen doesn't scratch as easily, if not i would have had to change to another phone a long long time ago.

anyway, once again i have to remind myself dat becoz of financial difficulties, the plan of buyin a new phone has to be put on hold. havin no income n lil to spare, buyin a phone OR signing up for a new plan is absolutely gonna kill me. then again, let's move on to the MAIN topic of the day, the gorgeous new phone dat is out with 3G network. THE new Sony Ericsson W850i.

i totally fell in love with the w850i the 1st time i saw it. being quite a fan of SE, wat better way to support it than to get myself another SE phone? oh, btw, the w850i comes in white too. check out the video here. there's actually not much big differences in the specs between my current phone n the w850i except dat this supports video calls. bf kept askin me to subscribe to a plan with 3G so i'll have a phone dat i can at least use to call ppl. hehe, i'm currently on an Optus prepaid, n i've got like a pathetic $0.30 left. so i can't make any calls, n i only have 1 sms left to send, not to mention a local one.. an international sms costs $0.50. anyway, sorry to u guys whom i used to call n sms yeah? kinda broke right now, plz don't send me smses dat i need to reply to immediately, or to forward to other ppl. *note: charz, thx for sendin me the MONEY bee forwarded sms, now i can't be rich at all, let alone in 4 days time. :(

alright, enough about phones n money, i'll continue with my updates from the previous post:

poor me needed new (more) shoes/slippers. remember the turqoise havaianas? i tot i needed a black pair n a white pair, as advised by Min Hui, but i was wrong. i'm not as casual as havaiana thongs.. i bought a pair of white fashion slippers n a metallic grey pair today. cheap by Aus standards, but convert back to RM, i could get 4 pairs of slippers or 2 pairs of high heels.
had dinner with Linda, Yoon, Ronald n Jacke. Linda cooked Bak Kut Teh, NICE!! Linda's place is really nice n neat, if only i could be half as neat. :(
weather has been warm n nice, but it's still very cold indoors.
i only went to the women's conference the 1st day, totally skipped the 2nd day.. 35 bucks.. aih.. so sorry, MH.. but the 1st day itself was eye-opening, haven't been to a christian function for a very very long while now.. it's amazing to see how ppl can surrender themselves n let go of their egos n self-control to cast unhappiness away.
most laundry has been done, baskets are piled up EMPTY.. n all my ironing done too, YAY~
Mq informed me dat my piglet cd folder is in her house.. n i bought David Tao's new album *drool*.. Mq also bought Jay Chou's new album. keke
Had 3 drivin lessons from Ronald's couz Grace, a lil less than 3 hours, $90 spent.. *heartache* 25-mins drivin test on the 9th november, hehe, hopefully i don't speed yeah..
Mq's show "Mousetrap" was good! a tad too long but good.. it was very interesting n the whole crew did an excellent job. the storyline reminds me of Wz's script during trinity college, the split personality story, remember?? anyway, i'm so proud of u, sis.. u make a wonderful producer.. ;)

~ photo time!! ~

L-R: Min Hui, Lee Inn, Mey & Diana outside Chocolate Buddha.

sis Mq on stage after her speech.
Jacke n i congratulating Mq.
the audience, some pretty, some not so.. keke
me n my lovely sis, aren't we pretty?
i made Mq sit on the chair n took some pictures of her. love the african daisies i bought for her??

Mq: okay lar, now dat the show is over, must start to study already, alright??

Good luck to all of u takin exams, this month, next month, next yr.. :P

Jacke is right, time IS a deciding factor. we shall all wait n see. wait patiently.

A Longish Super-short update

2006-10-12T23:34:00.000+08:00

This is ridiculous. How is it that i am not able to access to MSN on my own laptop but it's alright on bf's laptop?? 3 hours of trying, no luck. How is it possible, that after an hour of writin my post early this mornin, upon finishin i save it as a draft before publishin it, i found dat my entry was only left with 3 lines? That would only be 2 sentences, knowin how i write. (long n naggy) It's the 2nd time in less than a week u know, n i'm beggining to lose my patience. The 1st time it was a super long post, then *chop*, no more. IE has encountered an error and it needed to shut down. This time i was lucky not to have posted any pictures, if not i sure make noise to Blogger.

ANYWAYz, my super short update..

Went shoppin for 3 days in a row: 1st day with Cara, bought same jumper as her; 2nd day with Linda, bought same cardi as her (cheap AX buy!!), then yesterday was with Min Hui, bought a polka dot mini skirt.
Had dinner with Diana, Mey, Lee Inn n MH at Chocolate Buddha last night, too noisy to talk, food so-so, expensive, not quite worth it.
Weather was so hot yesterday i felt as if i was melting, only a mere 32 celsius, HOT wind kills, dirt n dust flyin all over is super turn-off.
Meetin MH n Lee Inn for some Women's Conference tonight, inspiring and life changing for some, Jacke says i'll be bored within the 1st half an hour. He doesn't know i've gotta pay $35 for the 2-day conference We'll see.
Need to do laundry soon, too much dirty clothes in too many baskets, takin up TOO MUCH SPACE in the room. :P
Found my cd cases, where are all my cds??? Uhm, in my piglet cd folder.. Where's my piglet cd folder??
Remind me to call Ronald's couz to arrange for driving test. Hope she's got a stick car, n hope it's nice to drive!
Remind me to call Im jie to arrange for meet up tmr night before sis Mq's last show..

Okay, I think i'm done, need to go change for the conference. Adios ppl~ Let's hope i don't sleep during the conference yeah? I'll be good. ;)

Mooncake Fest

2006-10-11T02:08:00.000+08:00

MOONCAKE FEST~
On the eve of the mooncake festival, there wasn't much to do at all, especially when clubbing was cancelled.. :( the mood kinda sucked dat night, but the moon was lovely.. n it was really cold n windy. Patrick, Jacke n i went down south to the beach (south end of St Kilda Beach) to take a walk. there was just 3 of us, kinda cham hor? but anyway, i took some nice pictures of the moon. keke i layed down on the jetty n took some pictures by holding the camera with my hands (no tripod!!) n managed to take quite clear (but not big) pictures of the moon.

3 of us sat on the jetty to look at the moon, talk cock n take pictures. heehe, the green on on the top left is how it's like under the jetty. dunno wat they are. but very geli-lookin. the jetty was a bit fishy-smellin, but it's okay lar, all dry n not much dirt, so i just slept on it. now come to think of it, damn, i just paid about AUD9 to dry-clean my jacket. hold on, have to check my jacket 1st..

*away for 5 secs, came back, accidentally kicked the bed frame, not pain, no ouch*

nope, no stains, no smell, phew.. Anyway, Ronald gave Jacke n i 2 mooncakes, like he did last year, how nice of him hor? Mooncakes here are so expensive, even the "Hai3 Wai4 Tian1" (Overseas Brand) mooncakes are sellin for like AUD29 per box. Very the ouch.. I buy my mooncakes when they're no more in season, so they're cheaper. hehe

^^ I've actually typed out the next part of the post, which is about my GOR cruise, UNFORTUNATELY (yet again), internet explorer has failed me... *sob* My browser was shut off n therefore all my hardwork (there're at least 15-20 pictures with stories n captions) was gone. My "Recover post" button only put me back to this post, so there. GOR cruise, tmr lar.. After my shoppin (most probably window shoppin) with Linda at Crown AX.. They're havin a sale!! up to 70% off! keke updates another time, nitez!! oh, g'morning!!^^

Being sleepless

2006-10-05T02:27:00.000+08:00

Tried to close my eyes, they won't shut,
tried to breathe slower, i feel suffocated,
tried to not move, my whole body felt uncomfortable.

I sometimes wonder, how i really fall asleep when i'm not tired.
Jacke is sound asleep beside me, snoring away to wonderland.
Was sleepy at 9pm, been tryin to sleep for the past 3 hours.
I am as wide awake as it is 1pm in the day.
I am hungry, won't eat, i'll get fat if i do. Plus i never eat when i wanna sleep.

I am told meditation helps, the Gayathri Mantra i should chant.

Om Bhur Bhuvah Suwah

Tat Savitur Varenyam

Bargo Devasya Dheemahi

Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

Translation: Through all the worlds, God radiates more than the sun, on the brilliance of God I meditate, and pray for a clear intellect and a perfect intuition.

I hope and pray dat i will fall asleep before the sun rises.

My OTHER flower post

yep, it's flowers again. this time, i'm gonna include a picture of me n bf Jacke from our tulip farm visit. realised i didn't have bf's picture up for a couple of pic posts now, so i better put one up. this is a really nice picture of us, at least our poses aren't the conventional types. Jacke has changed his hairstyle already tho, so this isn't as updated as we'd all think. ;)

with WHITE flowers again!

since everyone's been admiring my flower shots, i shall post another pic.. one last one lar..

nice or not? nice or not?? hehe
okay lar, dat's all for tulip farm.. this next flower pic is taken by me, flowers bought by darlin.. this is where i got my "one in many" inspiration, click to view larger image. the pink roses were just so lovely. the couple picture was not originally there, i just put there so the flower pic would look nicer, n it's more.. us.. ;)

i know my darlin has been really patient n tolerant with me, n i know i've not been treatin him right. i thank him for being there for me, all these while..

MUAKZ TO MY DARLIN JACKE~!

My September 2006

2006-09-29T00:58:00.000+08:00

20 hours to go before September ends.. ;)

September 1st
My 1st few hours were spent on a 777-200. It was Jacke's birthday, n i came back to Melbourne a day earlier (i told him i'd arrive on the 2nd) to celebrate with him. It was also our housemate Ronald's b'day, n the guyz were planning a bbq party at home. Not knowin i would arrive on the 1st, they called for a stripper to come to our house, n stripped for R. They had Ronald tied up to a plastic chair, it was pathetic, n honestly, a bit embarassing.. It was really funny to see R's face when Breanna danced n moved around him, he looked as if he was disgusted. hahaa Hilarious! I didn't have the mood for the bbq tho, didn't eat much.

I've missed my car so much..

September 7th

Jacke n i have been arguin a lot, this wasn't supposed to happen. Have not been leavin my room for some days now, coz my eyes were too swollen from constant cryin. I've continued to not have mood to eat, n have lost about 1kg (agak only lar). n was STILL tidyin up n unpackin my stuff. i did take a picture of my "then" closet, but decided dat it's too gruesome to share it with u guyz. it's not dirty, it's just really messy.. haha no thx to Elaine who asked me to take a picture of my closet, now i look at it to remind me how messy i am.

September 14th

Celebrated Wilson(R's younger bro)'s b'day at the Forest Hill Karaoke. Have also been cryin the whole week, decided not to cry anymore. It's so sad dat it's becomin funny. ahah R/ships are jz not as easy to maintain as i thought. Lost 3kgs by now.

Birthday Boy Wilson & lovely gf Cara~

With frenz Ben & Anson, who're really funny n cute.

Ronald's turn to sing n Yoon's turn to puff his lungs out.

L: Yoon & Cara acting cute, R: Y being obnoxious. >_<

Zoom in to see Wilson's face, damn funny. haha

Sweetie Cara n i, being girlz.. XP

Love has never been so unclear.. @_@

September 15th

Went out with Albert, April n frenz. Met Min Hui at Yng Thai, n then cousin Im at a Docklands chocolate place. Don't even remember the name. Hah! Pictures would look nicer..

Chrysanthemum & Jasmine Tea --> Chinese tea + exotic name.. Pretty!

Looks = 70%, taste = 20%, the rest of the 10% not worthy to be given.

R-L: Phillip, Jackie, Yen, April & Albert's middle finger. keke

L: Note Wilson's messy hair, R: The last of the teethless Albi.

September 16th

Went to Min Hui's new place next to Marriot Hotel, she's got really really nice finger food supplied by her guests. hehe THEN went out with dinner n dessert again!! Diana brought this really nice Almond n Apricot cheese, which is extremely addictive. I'm such a sucker for desserts. Steamboat dinner was not very very nice, a trip to Soul Mama will always make my day tho.. Let me present to u.. *cue drumroll*

My FAVOURITE dessert in Melbourne: Chocolate Espresso Pot with Soy cream.

L: Mark & Im jie, R: sis Mq n i.

Im jie's fren Mark is very frenly, n he's really knowledgeable. Plus he can eat very very very spicy food. Mark was eatin from the spicy side of the steamboat while i ate the mild side, n he could even hold chopsticks properly, cool huh? There aren't any pictures of MH's house warming tho, haven't been able to get Diana (the photographer) on MSN. :/

September 20th

Girls' night out - me, Min Hui, Diana, Lee Inn & new-found fren Mey. All of us are accountants!! Except for MH, she's in marketing. heheh

Took this while drivin on the highway, notice how i'm swayin off the road?? DANGEROUS!!

The dedicated photographer - Diana.

Diana kept takin pictures of other ppl but not herself, so i took some of her. hehe, it's really nice to be catchin up with them, haven't seen them for too long. At least now i've got more company than i initially thought.

September 23rd

Woke up super early to go to the Tulip Farm. With another bunch of frenz this time.

Ppl say i look like a small kid, wat do u think?

These flowers are jz gorgeous, aren't they? My faves: 3, 4, 6, & 7.

The fake rainbow on display, available whole year round. Even at night, keke.

Don't u jz love white flowers?

Last pic of my post, Patrick acting FARNEE!!! hahaa He said those pink ones are really pretty, kept askin ppl to take ths pic. -_-"

Okay, no more pictures to show u guyz.. Actually, still got one, but i'll keep it for the next entry. Also flowers, sadly.. hehe

My new Havaianas!

2006-09-22T22:55:00.000+08:00

An update on my job applications. I hesitated wakin up this mornin, but i did in the end, at 11:55am. -_-" I made 3 calls, 1st one said i wasn't wat they were lookin for, n dat the job offer was already in the finalising stage. 2nd one, no one picked up. Probably lunch time? 3rd one i just realised i didn't have their number so i checked another job offer n found the number to the recruitment company. Voila! nope, i wasn't wat they were lookin for either. But the very nice Mr Feldman made sure he got my details right n said they would contact me if any employers were interested in my resume. So there goes, just 10 minutes of callin n i'm out in the cold again. Sigh, i'm such a coward. Never mind, the search goes on.

I went shoppin with Jacke, there were 2 warehouse sales dat i wanted to go, but the Westco, MNG one was rather far, n i didn't wanna go all the way out, so we went to this Olga... shit, i forgot the name. It's an Aussie brand. They have quite nice bags, but mainly for older ppl, not my age. Saw this gorgeous sleep over bag tho.. Croc Skin imitation material.. Heavenly. Too big for petite Mz, n i don't need another hand luggage, so bye bye nice bag.

So we went to Smith Street in search for a pair of "walkin" shoes for myself. I just realised, in my whole time here in melbourne, the only pair of shoes dat i own, dat resembled to a pair of sport shoes would be my reddish converse pair. Which i have no idea where it is now. I saw a pair of Converse which i really liked today, sorta checkered, mid-length, white n greyish. Bloody $80, didn't seem like the price i would pay for a pair of shoes i'm so unlikely to wear 5 times in a month. It's really nice tho.. =P

I bought a pair of Havaianas!! Yay! I'm so happy about the buy, altho quite disappointed in the whole Smith St shoppin trip. My new slippers are a turqoise shade of blue! Hehe, see, jz talkin about it makes me feel so happy. I actually have another pair of hot pink ones, dunno where Jacke kept them.. :( Left my chocolate Reefs slippers in KL, so no more slippers to flop around. Anyway, i show u!!
Yay again!! They're really turqoise colored. I know Min Hui has a couple of pairs, maybe i should collect them as well. Keke, since i was really tempted to buy the Navy, Lavender, Orange n Yellow pair today. Got them for about $18 a pair, maybe i'll get Kai n Charz a pair? Will definitely get Charz a pair, but do u want one, Kai? Wat colour har? Charz, light purple one okay ar? No pink for u.. I've seen some ppl wearin Havaianas with the Brazil flags embedded, n i've always been wonderin where they got them if it was in M'sia? I saw the Brazil, Japan n Aussie flag ones today. Then suddenly i thought i didn't have any reasons to be buyin the ones with the Brazil flags, coz.. i dunno much about Brazil n i've got nothin to do with it at all. Haha, then i thought of buyin the Aussie ones, only if they looked prettier. keke

ANYWAY, Jacke bought a pair of Timberland shoes (he wants me to blog about it.. XP) which he really liked. Too sporty, if u ask me, but hey, it's not up to me to decide. It looked decent on Jacke, n for the price less than dat of the Converse i saw today, it's worth it. At least it would be more comfy, should be.

The wind was really strong today, n there were dust n dirt everywhere. I've got so much "stuff" gettin caught in my eye today i couldn't even walk properly, imagine dat. And because i couldn't walk properly, i bumped into this big lady, bugger biatch.. i was literally coverin my eyes with both hands n walkin so slowly while she just walked into me, makin me bump into her breasts. Ugh, it hurt.. My whole right eye looked bloody after dat, i felt like i was gettin a bruise. Wat was she thinking?? She was the one walkin with her eyes open n i wasn't like walkin in zig zags or somethin, stupid blindo.. I cover my eyes n she's the blind one. Hah! Worse of all, she didn't apologize, n i did. Stupid me, being too nice.. :(

I bought a nice white cropped button-up knit jacket. If u call them jackets.. Sigh, those lingos make me so confused. Never mind, it's really sweet n all, there was orange n brown, but white was the best choice, hope it doesn't stain easily.

Got a long day tmr, Tulip Farm, hope it'll be a good drive. ;)

Sweet thanks n love to u, Bro

2006-09-22T01:31:00.000+08:00

My wonderfully sweet brother has jz wrote somethin for me..
Abiding Metamorphosis: to Mayzzz

Thankyou my dearest brother for ur kind words. It'll take time, probably a lot of time, to heal n recuperate, n to be as i was before. Love n life will never be the same, n i still wonder if i should change.

To all who have comforted, n offered, i thankyou too, sincerely..

Nervous

2006-09-22T00:53:00.000+08:00

I've just finished watchin a Singaporean production "I Not Stupid Too" by Jack Neo. I think it's really good, it really tells parents to listen to their kids. I mean, wat they're tryin to bring out to the parents, at least. It made me leave a tear or two on the tissue, but it's worth it. At first it was about parents not listenin to their kids, then it was dat the kids couldn't talk to their parents anymore.

I guess i must admit dat this show has unfortunately brought me back to my past, as I did experience wat it was like dat my parents didn't listen to me. Maybe it was more of the 2nd part, dat i couldn't talk to my parents. I felt dat i couldn't tell them how i felt, or wat i wanted to do, n dat left me really frustrated. I must credit my parents tho, for my upbringing, n for tryin to improve as parents. How many mums would study Psychology in Education for their kids just to try to help them study? How many dads would teach u how to ride a bicycle, then teach u how to ride a motorbike, just to let u know how it feels? There may be parents like dat out there, but i'm sure our own parents would make us feel proudest of them. I'm proud of my parents, n i try to make my parents proud of me. I must confess i haven't really being able to succeed in my part, but i'm sure one day my parents would be, if they haven't already felt dat way.

Anyway, Nervous is the topic of the day. I'm feelin rather nervous right now, it's already 3am n i feel like i've just woken up. I've sent 3 job applications via Seek on Tuesday n i've written dat i'll call on friday to enquire about my applications. That's wat i'm supposed to do, as i was told.

Went out with Min Hui, Lee Inn n Diana yesterday night. Did a lil bit of catchin up, n got to know Mey from them. Apparently all 4 of us (except MH) are in the accounting field. Lee Inn is in an insolvency firm, Mey is doing Taxation, n Diana jz graduated n will be goin back to M'sia to work for HSBC. It was a really good outing, u know.. Girls talk n stuff like dat.. I reckon we'd make a really good support team for each other. It feels good to be catchin up with Min Hui after so long, even tho our last outing in KL was just a few months back.. Or rather QUITE a few months back already.

We're planning a visit to the Tesselar Tulip Festival this Saturday, even tho i've been there before. I hope the tulips would be at their best, n i'm hopin to see more tulips than i did last year. Will be makin some more new frenz there, hopefully we'll all have fun, with Tracy's 2 sisters n some of Patrick's church mates. I'm actually interested in goin to Canberra for the Spring Festival, as i heard dat's where the largest Spring celebration is held. More n more flowers! Haha, well, wat do u know? Almost every girl is a flower girl.. =P Who doesn't love flowers?? Maybe those who're allergic to pollens or have really bad hay fevers when they're around flowers, but basically, flowers are for everyone. Ah, look where i've gone to now.

Flower Land.

Uhm, i better concentrate on getting my answers right, or some really good ppl who will employ me straight away. Gosh, i'm not even sure if i'm right for the job. But Mey suggested dat i get into Audit first, get to run around, understand company structures a lil bit.. wat did she say already? Damn, i forgot. I was supposed to prepare for this. I'm sure if they're interested, they'll get me to go for an interview.. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but nobody really get jobs during their 1st few interviews, do they? (i know Kai did =P) But anyhow, dat's IF I GET ANY INTERVIEW(S). Pray for me, my frenz.

Oh, n a lil update, Albert has got his teeth back already, can't wait to see him. 3 yrs without his front teeth, it's gonna be weird. Even his gf April laughed at him the whole day.. Hehe, hopefully i'll see him friday or sat.

Will update pictures soon too, next post, maybe. PRAY FOR ME! =) g'nite.

Be strong

2006-09-17T13:41:00.000+08:00

More heartache WILL come my way, i shall be strong..

Thx for clearing it up with me, i appreciate it.

I understand the situation i'm in, but it's not wat u think it's like. Nobody but me knows how it's like. It's sheer pain n suffering..

Thx Lena, for your call of comfort.. I shall go on being stronger, no understanding needed.

Don't worry

2006-09-14T15:59:00.001+08:00

I look at my last entry, re-read it for like.. maybe the 3rd time, n saw dat the date of entry is 13th sept. Today it's 14th sept, n just a mere 39 hours of my last post i felt like blogging again. It felt like it had been days since i last blogged.

I believe that i'm still lost, haven't gotten any answers for the past few days. My questions have been bugging me for a while now. Perhaps a long while. Life still feels incomplete.

My housemates n I, including some other frenz went to celebrate Wilson's b'day yesterday night, Karaoke, just like last year. By the end of the night, 2:30am, Cara was feeling sleepy n drunk, even tho she really didn't drink much. She was smiling n giggling all the way, it was really cute. I've never seen her like dat. I got into my car, with Wilson, Cara n Ronald following closely behind. After strapping on my seat belt, i could see dat Cara was sittin on the floor by the road, she couldn't help herself into the car before collapsing. Wilson helped her in, n she was still giggling. Please don't vomit in my car, i thought. She soon fell asleep, occassionally mumbling somethin to Wilson.

The whole journey home, i was thinking to myself. Why did Cara drink dat much when she knows she can't drink at all? How much alcohol, Heinekens do i have to down myself with in order to get as drunk as she was? I already had a stub, which didn't felt like anythin, almost like a hot drink keeping myself warm in the night. I am as sober as i can be.. was, sorry. Then it got me thinkin, if i really drank dat much parellel to the extend of Cara being in dat state, wat would i be doin? Would i be laughin n giggling like Cara? Or would i be cryin my head off nursing a wound? It wouldn't be very nice, would it? To cry n tear while not being able to support myself physically. That'll be a pain in the ass.

I'll try not to get to dat stage, the cryin stage i mean. Not dat i drink all the time, but booze is rather available around here, n they don't cost as much as they do in KL. I won't cry, yeah.. Don't worry.

Intense Roller Coaster Ride

2006-09-13T01:07:00.000+08:00

For the past week or so, my life has been turned upside down. Not only was it turned upside down, it was inside out as well. Many of u closest to me would know, i was havin a relationship crises, a crises so big that it equaled the 911 event. To me only, u silly, not u.

I have currently made up my mind, that it would be best to stay with Jacke. A lot of our conditions have changed, we no longer used to be what we were like back then, when everythin was okay. I could not be the "cute" mz who jumps around n laugh all the time. Maybe i need more time.. maybe i've changed. Jacke isn't as "cute" anymore too, he no longer smile or joke all the time. We've both changed.. Is it for the better? Well, only time will tell.

My heart still hurts, i'm still in pain. Plz don't question me, i won't answer u. Still learning to heal, it will take time.. give me time. i need time.. plz understand. Thanks to u guyz who were there for me.

Rough Patch

2006-09-07T13:17:00.000+08:00

What's goin on in this world now? It seems my girls n i are havin rough patches, on our own. We girls are still strong, but on our own, we seemed to be crumbling.. We're okay, but emotionally, the support isn't there anymore.

Comin back to Melbourne, is like comin back to reality. Or is it not? I left KL with a different feeling this time around. I'm not comin to Melbourne as a student anymore, my status has changed. I've obtained PR status and I'm back here for work. I have to be independent, n not rely on my parents on everythin, money, shelter, abstract feelings, support that i get from them. I've left my job in KL (not exactly a job), my family, my bestest frenz, my pets, my new-found frenz.. Most of all, i've left the security in KL, the feelin of security i've been taking for granted.. dat everythin's been taken care of, no worries about money, food, shelter, transport. Everything..

Have I changed? I would like to be carefree, who wouldn't? But i'd also like to live in the REAL world. The real one. I find dat i have been avoidin issues, if i thought i had any, i'd just shove them away, takin a peek at them to see if they're pickin up pace to hunt me down someday. I've just been told that i've changed, and my change may make me a miserable person. What is it that i've changed? What's the real reason behind being miserable? Why can't I continue to be me? The REAL me? Or is it that the real me has never surfaced? I'm not sure I know anymore.

I've had enough of crying. I've never cried so much in my life before, n I shall stop. For the reasons that have made me cry, I shan't let myself go this time. I'm alright guyz. There's a lot more of life than just this. And i'm bound to discover it, n i'll do it happily. With someone, with a group, all by myself, i shall discover true happiness once n for all.

P/S: I shall always remember Steve Irwin as the brave and big-hearted environmentalist who strived for animals to be happy either being conserved or wild, n he as a person who loved life to the max.. Rest in peace, Mr. Irwin.

Do I really have that many?

2006-08-10T17:35:00.000+08:00

Bf n i were havin a telecon n we talked about shoppin, naturally. I told him i haven't bought much of anythin for myself lately n told him i spent a total amount of RM81!! on his hair gel. That's 6 tubs of Gatsby, on 15% off. I wanted to faint.
_______________*dreamy music playing*_____________________
Bf: Do u know how many pairs of shoes u have here in Melbourne? If i were to throw away some of ur shoes u wouldn't even notice.

Me: *squeal* How can u throw away my things?? cannot!! cannot!! *stomps the bed*

Bf: Do u know u have 17 pairs of shoes here in Melbourne? n dat's not including the boots u bought.

Me: *gag* Really ar? i got 17 pairs of shoes? got so many mer? but.. but a lot of them cannot wear one mar.. not i buy one.. my mummy buy one mar..

Bf: Yeah, all the same. dat's 17 pairs of shoes.. if u give it $20 a pair, it'll be $340..

(thinkin i bought some shoes from Melbourne n a pair would cost at least $50)

Me: My shoes got so cheap mer?

Bf: Okay lar, give u benefit of the doubt, $400 in total, u add the boots in, dat'll be about $600. $600 can buy a full set of my car bodykit already u know?

(mental calculation tells me dat my mid-calve boots are $150 n low-calve boots are $80, more than $200)

Me: Hey, more than $600 lar.. *oops, wrong move*

Bf: Ha, u see?

Me: WAIT! *suddenly recalls i have 2 more pairs of boots from e-bay* i got 4 pairs, 2 from Melbourne, 2 from e-bay..

Bf: Still dare say.. Really lor, if i threw some out u won't even notice..

Me: *half scream* U better not throw any of my shoes out, if not i make sure u buy me back more shoes!
____________________*knock knock*_______________________

*ahem*
n that concludes the end of my telecon on the blog, even tho there are still part 2 n 3s involvin his tyres being worth more value than my shoes if sold. "Can your shoes take you 10,000km?" he says.. how to compare??!?!

Do I really have dat many pairs of shoes in Melbourne? I only wear like.. i dunno, 4 pairs or so? n i don't even own dat many pairs of shoes in KL, my original home. it's so hard to believe. i know many of u have more shoes than i do, n maybe u girlz do throw out shoes dat won't do the job anymore.. i don't remember throwin out shoes dat i don't want, except the one time i threw out this shiny black n white PVC platform sneakers (there were so cool n nice back then!!).

never mind, i MUST go shoe-counting when i go back to Melbourne.

n also those in KL dat i have.. those dat i STILL wear. *^-^*

Mindless idiot

2006-08-08T15:51:00.000+08:00

wat an idiot, isn't it clear that your dad doesn't like the supplier? didn't ur mum made it crystal dat she didn't like the supplier either? y do u still call him n ask for a quote? then call him again to confirm the quotes n everythin? so wat if u think dat supplier deserves a chance? so wat if the supplier is a good person but just doesn't know enough to make it in the business?

like wat Lena says in her blog: it's nothin personal, it's just business.

i'm so sorry dat u're such a mindless idiot. don't u feel sad for being mindless.

u deserved to be scolded. period.

Pictoria

2006-08-07T14:36:00.000+08:00

Joey from melaka asked me blog, since she already did. n she asked me to just post pictures, no one expects me to be witty.. "..." *mz raises a piece of tissue since there isn't any white flags around*

so here they are. photos taken 2 weeks ago. yeah, seemed so long ago liao. taken when joey was around.

oh, this is the time when joey wasn't around. hehe, 3 of us at starbucks. n i was attempting to take some casual shots of both of them. since kai says elaine's photography wasn't as good. =P

bar flam - the only place in bangsar with not as many indians as the others. no offence to them, but in an all indian pub, they tend to play some indian songs. n we don't dig indian songs. not very nice pictures, i know.. but wat more can u ask from 1.3 mega pixel camera phone?

i actually still have very unglam pictures of a lot of ppl.. most pictures are kai's, n being a good friend as i am, i'm not posting them up. HOWEVER, email me personally n i shall send them all to u. ahhaha

okay, bar flam was friday night, then saturday we went to Pei Shih's convo in UPM. before that, we had an eyebrow make-over. sorry kai, i didn't take any pictures of u, apparently.. so u have to upload ur own eyebrow make-over experience. =P

joey n i: hey, i chose this pic becoz u looked best in it, i look damn fugly lor..

another casual pic of joey.

u wonder y i have so many pictures or joey? no, i'm not a lesbian. n i don't like her, not in "dat" way. i just happen to like takin pictures of ppl (like elaine) n i tend to have many nice pictures of them. most of the time i take their pictures usin their own camera/phones, but joey here in particular didn't like takin pictures all dat much. so might as well take some of hers with my phone n she'll have more pictures!

i've taken quite a lot of pictures of myself too lately, but i think i jelak already, lookin at them myself, do i'm not gonna post any up here.

Confessions for the day

2006-07-28T15:54:00.000+08:00

anywayz, i'm glad i had lunch with lu today, got to meet up with Mun Guan n her fren Silvan. they're just so genuine n nice. the taiwanese food was just so so tho.. n MG's so tall!! so envious~

downtime

2006-07-26T11:46:00.000+08:00

I'm kinda proud of myself today, hehe, mainly becoz i managed to wake myself up n go to work.. not in time, but i did.

on monday night, Kai n i went to meet up with Shuj n Kz.. ends up Young Lee, Zi Bin, Aik Lee n Chin Hong were also there. dunno the latter 2, but we were in Chow Yang Kayu mamak. it's so good so meet up with them again, just to see who's doin wat n everythin. especially shuj n kz.

yesterday mornin i sent mum n dad to KL sentral, they're goin to Cambodia for holidays. gosh, how i wish i went too, then i don't have to work. but then again, no need to regret lar these things. i got my side of the bargain.. hehe

i took a day off yesterday, slept til 11am, then went out with Krist. she's Jacke's good fren from singapore, n she's here with her fiance/husband. chop, when u registered to get married, does dat mean u're married? or about to? anyway, we went to KLCC, bought some stuffs n did some good catchin up. Krist is havin her weddin in december, n i'm so disappointed dat i won't be able to attend. she was gonna ask me to be her "jie mei". wat an honour.. summore she said she'll have her jie meis dressed up in green frocks.. haha, my fave colour too, but green for a weddin. uhm.. hehe Kz joined us for coffee n some walkin in KLCC too. he's always been so good at comforting me, n of course also bombarding me lar.. but not yesterday, yesterday he was nice, really nice. thanks, kz.. u've been such a great friend.

then, yesterday night we had a high school meet up at meng tin in tmn mega. every memory brought up yesterday sparked laughters, n they were really funny. i think we won't be able to name everyone from the class now, as we're all gettin old.. *-*

i think i'm on downtime lately, haven't been able to really cheer myself up. bought a shirt dat i liked a lot yesterday. maybe becoz my parents aren't around, i always miss them when they go abroad. even just for a couple of days.. sigh, sad right? so old liao still become sad when parents go overseas. or maybe i'm down becoz i'm goin back to melbourne already, n i'll be leavin my life here in KL soon.. dat's y Kz has been such a nice pal, to try to cheer me up..

(*Note: however much I loved the Trebuchet font, Dave's told me that it's hard to read, so maybe i'll switch to this original one. i mean, leave it to the original. can read liao bo? hehe)

haha, there would be no news on this weird disgrace to Pisceans, along with many other that I know of. I'm beginning to tire writing about this fella, don't u? guess i've vented most of those anger caused by pure weirdness and.. weirdness out of my system thus I feel light again. anyway, I do hope I don't see Weirdo again, too weird to even be friends with.. let's all bid goodbye to Mr Weirdo~ not dat he's gonna die or anythin lar, just dat we'll let his character die from my blog. haha wat a good way to put it.

alright, to those of u who haven't already know, I've been granted a Permanent Residence Visa (PR lar) from the Australian Government, thus I'll be able to fly in and out of Australia freely until 2011~ this is great, as i've been waitin for my results since forever. my own fault dat i didn't get it any sooner, but heck, i got it now. so stop askin me when am i goin over. well, i'm expectin many will ask. SO, i'll tell u guyz here right now, it'll be September. exact date not known yet, i haven't booked any tickets or even chosen the airline to fly with. becoz.. now, i wanna plan my itenerary liao. hehe

i wanna go on another trip with Kai n Lu, where ever, it doesn't matter.
singapore! then maybe i'll get the present my darlin bought for me n his parents accidentally brought back to singapore (more story on this later ;).
erm, swimming! coz don't think i'll be doin any swimmin til summer, which is in a few month's time anyway.
then redang, at the end of august, before i fly to melbourne.

yay~ u guyz happy for me? oh plz do, wish me luck on my career. i'll need it.

i will miss all of u so much, so plz let's meet up! n ar, plz ar, if u already know i'm leavin, call me, don't wait for me to call u. i hate goin out with frenz who have ulterior motives. eg: the guy fren who has never called me since i came back in november now suddenly invites me to a campfire. i don't hate him, i just don't like wat he did, so i declined his invitation n stayed home instead. the burning night wind was one of the reasons too, n i was havin a sore throat (well, sorta).

anyway, plz be a good fren, to anybody who's ur fren. don't call ur fren just becoz he/she's got the money or the car, or xbox 360. hehe or call ur fren becoz u needed a ride, call ur fren becoz u miss ur fren n u wanna just talk/meet up. AND be a good fren to the frenz who call u, make a mental note to call them the next time, don't just wait for them to call u. eg: Shuj, these "frenz" can then be branded as "not-so-into-being-frenz-with-you-kinda-fren". n can be mafia-ed, if u'd like, n have the Gs to do it. hehe whole load of crap.

now i'm gonna go burn some eye power on my work, n go lunch later, cyall..

New Witness to the Case (Weird Male Piscean - Episode 3)

2006-07-14T16:25:00.000+08:00

So i had a conversation with my gal pal yesterday. She said she totally knew about her bf wantin to ask me about the welding job, n dat becoz her bf is really close with dat person, so he's naturally anxious about it. not quite the answers i wanted to hear, altho i dunno wat i wanted to hear. maybe i want her to say she doesn't approve of her bf's actions. or somethin like dat. then again.. never mind, i don't want any arguments to arise between them.

right, i told gal pal dat i totally don't like it dat he calls and/or smses me all the time. it's not right, it's not appropriate.. she just gave me a quiet, light n dat i-didn't-know-it-would-turn-out-like-dat "okay..". another not-wat-i-expected-to-hear answer, anyway.. i reminded her dat she wasn't being the person my other gal pals n i knew, dat she's not the same anymore n dat's she's so "alien" to us now. yes, i used dat word, "alien". ;) i told her her presence wasn't felt anymore, as i couldn't recall her being in one of our few dinner dates. she said she was there.. how accurate was i? i remembered there were 5 of us, but she wasn't there. i didn't bother to count out who were in the 5, not even right now as i blog it out. never mind, i thought. i know our friendship is still standing as strong as ever. n dat's enough for me. HOORAY FOR FRIENDSHIP!

oh, n as for y she didn't call me or msg me back for so many times, she said she was just plain bz, n she's havin a migrane or somethin. ;D

and then..
*JAWS music playin in the background*
(u'll thank me for it's appropriate-ness later.)

another gal pal HC smsed me this mornin, told me she read all our 2-days-worth of emails n dat she encountered the same problem. Mr Weirdo called her n sms her for many many days n she did wat i did, no replies n he stopped pestering her!!! wah lao!! n i tot problem was solved, then we can be happy gal pals like we always have been. but no.. new witness has sprouted, the case has been reopened, new evidence will be brought to the stand. (NB, talk as if it's some crime case. keke)

tonight is the night, HC n i will meet up to talk about it, before we bring it up to our gal pal again. brainstorming session starts 6pm, while havin dinner, later followed by a trip to Esprit as HC's fren got a 50% discount voucher, or somethin. YAY!!

n i told mum about it before lunch, as i could hardly wait for tonight, dat i'll be goin shoppin (maybe window shop only ler?) with HC at pyramid. here's our conversation:

mum: u ar, of all ppl. should not be shoppin, u don't even need the things u buy, u only shop for the sake of shoppin.

me: who says i don't need the things i buy?? i need, dat's y i buy!

mum: u should try to not buy anythin for a month, then u'll be able to control ur spending, control ur need to buy.

me: is there a need to control?? y should i NOT buy anythin wor?

then i started sayin "i don't need it, but i want i want i want!" haha this is a funny story dat i shall tell.

(Below is just hear n tell, based on a true story, all conversations are made up, but not it's contents, no point distorting them. ;P Thankyou.)
^^Episode 1^^
Story: A has a good fren B, A is dying of cancer, n asks B to take care of his family.

A: my good fren, can u plz take care of my family when i'm gone?
B: okay okay..
A: will u take care of my wife for me?
B: i will, don't worry.. (don't think perverted here, the wife is uneducated, does not work n shops A LOT, they're rich mar..)
A: n my daughters?
B: i will, i will, don't worry..
A: ALL 3 OF THEM??
B: *sweats* okay, i'll take care of them, all 3 of them..

^^Episode 2^^
A passed away, B takes care of his family. B talks to C(A's wife) about her spending habit, which is bad, she buys a lot of things, true shopaholic breed i heard). *Beware: short episode.

B: C, do u think u need to buy all these things?
C: i don't need them, BUT I WANT THEM I WANT THEM I WANT THEM!!
(now try sayin the last part really quick, n in a woman's voice, add some stomping, eye-shutting n a jittery look, watever dat is.)

^^Episode 3^^
B had a talk with his son, here's wat they had to say.

Son: dad, if u need me to go out with the 3 of them girls, can u plz give me 3 days notice in advance?
B: 3 days? WHY??
Son: i need 3 days to calm myself down before i can go out with them, they're too crazy for me!! i'll explode!
B: !!!
(apparently all 3 of A's daughters are exactly like their mother, the dumb-blonde kind minus the blonde hair)

no offence to the persons involved, this is mere entertainment. kekee but funny right??? anyway, my condolences to the family; n bravo to B for being such a good pal.

Weird Male Piscean (2)

2006-07-13T14:50:00.000+08:00

Okay, I know it's a lil soon to blog again today, but I can't help it. Besides, there are updates to the previous entry. Remember Mr Weirdo called me when I was on the phone with Jacke? Well, I rejected his call. There and then. After that, he sent me an sms, 2nd one of the day. To keep track, that's 2 sms n 1 call.

SMS was in mandarin:
"(direct translated) Miss: if you're bz then sorry I bothered! If there's any matter then just tell me. XXX(my gal pal) doesn't know I contacted you. Thankyou."

wha..???? I decided to reply (contrary to watever I said in the previous entry, I decided to take action myself):
"(in mandarin) What was it that you wanted? What is it that XXX cannot know about?"

Then he asked about the job again. Let me brief u readers a bit, Weirdo is helping his friend(s) and relative(s) look for a job, a welding job. He asked me if my company used welders then I said yes, but I wasn't sure if we're employing new welders or not. So we came to an understanding (or would it be just me?) that if there was a job vacancy for welders then I will inform him.

My dear friends, do any of you think it's necessary to PESTER someone for SOMEONE ELSE'S job? Cause I don't think so.

So I replied "(Mandarin)You asked me if there was a job vacancy, not asked me to help you get a job. The more you cannot tell XXX about a certain matter, the more you shouldn't be doing it. Your actions are suspicious, there is no need to keep contacting me." There!

AND THEN, guess wat (I'm always usin this phrase!!).. I forwarded the same copy to XXX. Of course I added a note to say that's wat I REPLIED to her bf.

AND THEN, while I was still typing this entry. I received an SMS.. hehe, guess who? WRONG, it's not weirdo. it's my gal pal.. ;D She said she wasn't feelin very well (uh-oh..) and went home. She'll call me when I'm off work.

oh, btw, after my last sms to weirdo, he did send a reply.
"The job is not for me"

*faints*
AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW???
Am I supposed to write "your friend and/or relative" everytime we mention "a job"??? That's just so duh.. so duh.. so duh..

Weird Male Piscean

2006-07-13T11:55:00.000+08:00

This post is about a particular weird male piscean, as many of my friends will know. I shan't name him, bcoz he's a (considered good) friend's bf. we'll call him weirdo for now.

This post is also dedicated to myself, for being such a patient, understanding and a true friend.

Story:

My gal pal has an admirer, she's enjoyin his attention, not sure if she should accept to be his gf.
My other gal pals n i persuaded her to make up her mind n she did - got together with him.
We all went out a couple of times, each time the weirdo making fun of us gal pals, including me.
A certain galpal gave up goin out with us when weirdo is around. (This was about the 3rd time we went out together, with weirdo).
Weirdo calls me n smses me WAY TOO OFTEN (1 sms or a call a day is damn often okay) since the day before our 2nd outing.
And yes, his calls/smses are totally unnecessary, mostly not relating to his gf (a.k.a. my gal pal).
I only picked up his call twice, out of so many, n I don't ever call him back when the call is missed.
Yesterday I told weirdo's gf about her weird bf, n how she's changed since she got together with weirdo.
Guess wat? Weirdo sent me a "Sorry my friend!" sms, which was not replied to.
Today, weirdo thinks it's okay between me n him already, sent me another sms!
"Hi , friend . How the job 4 last time ask u de." Note the inappropriate spacing.
And yes, he has lousy english. No, make that VERY lousy. I don't mean to offend ppl who think their english is not very good, but come on, at least get somebody to correct them for u before u send it.
My gal pal is ever so bz, she's never free, n her bf keeps msgin me as if he's got nothin to do! BLOODY HELL!

Okay, I'm being very honest here, I DON'T LIKE this guy, VERY MUCH now. guess wat, I was just on the phone with my bf, n WEIRDO CALLED. of course I didn't pick up, I rejected his call. n my phone's on silent mode, so I won't hear anythin.

Why won't my gal pal call me back? i've left her msges on msn n smses tellin her to call me when she's free to talk but she doesn't reply. Geez, I'm so frustrated. I don't want to hurt my friend, and I certainly don't want her to get hurt. She doesn't even know the whole story yet, about how many calls weirdo makes to me n his redundant smses, yet she doesn't talk to me about it, at all. I'm worried for her, I believe most of our group are. Wake up dear! Don't make it a "Buddy or Boyfriend" situation.

Loathe with me

2006-07-12T14:57:00.000+08:00

no no, i'm not askin u to loathe me, it's loathe WITH me. i'm so bored today i practically had nothin much to do n no one to push me to do anything. my finance manager has just gone for a meeting, hooray!! i'm lepak-ing in the Kingdom of Loathing n it is fun! i think it's rather like Neopets n all, but this is different, it's cutesy yet garang. not like Neopets - cutesy n childly. this is my 1st day at KoL n i'm given like 80 adventures on my 1st day then 40 adventures on other days. i was like.. wat the.. wat for 80? n now i only have 26 left! i think it's funny to read the stuffs they have, the things u go thru. there's no money involved, only meat, yeah, lotsa meat.

dear frenz, let's play n fight n be garang! ggrrr.. *miao*

2006-07-10T12:45:00.000+08:00

Jacke n i had a conversation yesterday night, we were talkin about his parents' trip to Melbourne, how it went n how it ended. this was the part which got me kinda shocked, n laughin furiously..

J: darlin i tell u somethin, don't be shocked, okay?

me: okay, yoh.. u sound so serious.. so scary..

J: my mum bought us a quilt cover set..

me: quilt cover set? no quilt, right?

J: yeah, no quilt, the set is King sized..

me: har? but we don't have a King sized quilt wat..

J: my mum says when i get married then i'll have a new set of quilt covers.

J: dat's y lar.. it freaks me out a lil..

me: hehe

old sheets for new sheets

2006-07-07T17:54:00.000+08:00

my IELTS results are out today!!! n i've got them, but i'll tell u about it later.

i went to lunch with charz, her couz n bunch at Seri Melaka in Amcorp Mall. right, i've never had Seri Malaka before, but they're not bad at all! i had a huge mutton rendang rice with barley water, then charz n i shared a cendol, with melted gula melaka. oh, they're like.. caramel, they taste different but they're still so nice, so comparable to caramel aka my fav of all time. anyway, charz n i were walkin then we saw this sale at somerset bay. it was more like a home furnishing sale coz most of the stuffs are from Living Quarters. we hopped around n i saw this really nice sheets. quilt set, to be exact. my quilt is too small, how can a Single quilt cover the whole of me? i know i'm tiny, but the quilt just doesn't do it's work properly. okay, i bought a Queen quilt set, so i'll have new sheets for my bed n new quilts!

sigh, i'm was so sheet deprived.. all those nasty lilac sheets, grey sheets dat never matched my bed. NOT ANYMORE!! i'm so happy!! n charz helped me carry them summore, so nice of her.. hehe okay enough boasting.

i got my IELTS results, n i got an overall score of 8.0! haha, well, i was expecting a 7.0 or a 7.5.. but then, hooray!!!! i'm so happy..

okay lar, end of entry. hopefully i can make full use of the things i bought today, which also include some jewellery parts. make make make!!

Unplugged

2006-06-22T18:03:00.000+08:00

Let's start the story with yesterday morning. it was around 5:40am i was awaken by this constant beeping, frustrated dat i could no longer sleep i got up n found the alarm system shoutin "LOW BATT!! LOW BATT!!", literally. i pressed the buttons so many times, nothin worked, n felt helpless. i wanted to smash my chair into the thing, but decided dat it wouldn't help. suddenly i heard the buttons being pressed in my parents room n the beeping went off, so i got back into bed.

2 mins later, it started beeping again. for those of u who know, i absolutely hate these sounds, ESPECIALLY when i'm tryin to sleep. the slightest noise like someone goin into the toilet DOWNSTAIRS would wake me up. i went to my parents room n asked dad to switch it off, dad told me to unplug the battery off the main alarm switchbox. by the time i went downstairs, the alarm stopped beeping again. i dunno wat happened after dat, i had no recollection watsoever but i remember i got up not feeling tired at all as i should.

then yesterday, the alarm started beeping again at around 6pm, mum called the alarm guy to come over n change the batteries, n then we left for the airport. (mum n dad went to bangkok)

i came home, the alarm was "fixed". so happy about it, i went to bed early, hopin to get a good night's sleep. guess wat, it started beeping again at 12:40am. less than 2 hours into my sleep, i haven't even started dreaming yet.. i got up right away n went downstairs, took some screwdrivers n tried unscrewing the box in the dark, then only to find dat it was the wrong switchbox. ididn't see any batteries in it n had to screw it back. i was sweating n so pissed, i woke my maid n asked her where the box was. so i unscrewed the real box n found somethin to unplug, n i did. it felt so good dat the beeping stopped. SO GOOD. i rinsed myself off my sweat n went back to sleep.

if u have alarms at home or is thinkin of gettin one; get those dat only blinks when the batt runs out, not beep. trust me on this.

now i have a headache. n there's no painkillers. i'm goin off.

Mz signing off for the day.
enjoy ur night while i go shoppin with Sathya.

bugger twit

2006-06-19T15:51:00.000+08:00

i tried n tried, n failed, n again.. tell me y i should try further?
remember the games i bought? tres, si.. 3 games. The Movies, Ground Zero and GTA San Andreas.

game 1: no DVD game, so i got the normal PC game, 3 discs, i was so happy my lousy laptop could finish installing the game, which consumed enough time for me to paint my nails n stick little flower cut-outs on it, plus top coat, on all 10 nails.. hooray, time to play u may think. disc 1 was in the cd-rom, n it's still askin for disc 1. F@Rk!

game 2: lousiest game of the century, don't even try. nuff said.

game 3: installation process doesn't concern any word of the english language, doesn't matter. after installation, it doesn't play, says file unfound, or some stupid excuse. fine. went back to seller for an exchange, seller says "u've gotta install it twice. go back to the file on C drive n click on the setup file again" DERHN..

can't anythin be any easier? i'm not a super genius, but i'm no computer fool either, but can't they make things clearer? took me hours of installing, uninstalling, then installing again THEN it doesn't work! feeesh..

oh yeah, n don't buy the latest da vinci code game u see, the other game i bought from the same game company sucked. some mysterious island thingy. graphics is good, game totally idiotic, time consuming n by the end of the game. u don't feel as if u've accomplished anythin at all. someone plz be kind enough to get me a nice game. just loan me one, pirated welcome.

Stupid Realisation

2006-06-15T17:49:00.001+08:00

i just realised a very stupid thing. know how i kept complaining that the house PC was being real slow, hangs ALL the time and flickers like it's gonna break down? well, i've just realised somethin.

i have a laptop, y not use it?

@#)&@$(&%@^$%#*&)@(%&(*&$#(*&^%)#*&^$)@$^*

bear with me just for another moment.

(*&%@(*&@$)^#&%^(*&#%(*$^#)(&)%($*&_(^#!*^%@$*+!)

i just wanna kick myself in the @R$E.

no thx, i don't need any help. i'm bringing my laptop home to play games today.

hope my lousy Pentium 3, 256MB RAM NEC works.

PRAY FOR ME~

WOW

2006-06-15T13:31:00.000+08:00

erm, yeah. WOW as in World of Warcraft.
i used to play WC, don't remember which version, but i never played this one. they're so cute, sometimes they don't even seem violent, i mean, to be killin one another and stay alive n build stuff. so i took the Race Quiz, n guess wat?

i'm a Gnome (how unlikely)
"As an innovative mind a lot of your time is spent alone. Sometimes people mistake you for a recluse as a result. Its not that you don't enjoy being social, it's just the fact that you love your job and all of your really cool gadgets."

Great, do i actually sound like a gnome to you? huh? i can't hear you. uhm, maybe becoz i didn't know where Azeroth is, or maybe becoz i chose to tinker in my workshop to find my inner peace, or is it becoz i chose a mighty club as my choice of weapon? hell knows. i can actually die of boredom when i'm home alone (with grandma n 2 maids) not doin much, or just watchin telly, or just waitin for the retarded computer to flicker another time n UN-hang.

oh, n i just saw a really good quote:

IMPOSSIBLE = I M POSSIBLE

i think it's inspiring, givin hope to one when the situation is not as bright.
it works with IMPERFECT too, but dat doesn't really inspire. ;P
wanna go shoppin again tonight, hopefully mum will come with me.

p/s: it may seem like i'm havin a moodswing, i'm not. haha have a great day y'all.

Photo Show

2006-06-14T13:21:00.000+08:00

i was goin thru my photobucket n guess wat i found??
photos, duh.

i know i promised to show some pictures of the photo shoot i took with Kai, courtesy of lovely Pei Shan, who's just got a great new haircut. so here they are.

i know, some of them looked really weird, which is wat i kept tellin PS, haha. she thought they were good. oh well. hehe sorry about the brightness of the pictures, we didn't quite account for that in the shoot. i love our "together" shots, Kai n i looked so close, n so natural. haha

oh oh, there is this picture. look at the one Kai has her arms around me, count how many hands there are.. ~_~

there's actually the correct amount of hands, 5.. haha, no, it's 4. dat was wat's on my mind. the 1st thing i looked at dat picture was to count the hands. hehe, i didn't want anythin "Extra" to appear in dat picture, do i? :P

oh well, enjoy the pictures, i need to continue to work now. muakz mamaz n papaz.

I'm a.. CAR?

2006-06-12T17:46:00.000+08:00

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

was bumming at Lena's blog n found this. hehe just wanna waste my minutes. since it's 5:47pm already n i heard Naf sayin her goodbyes outside. Ms Wong still here tho, she's so cute, even tho she's married, n only 3 yrs older. hehe her reaction very cute, can scare ppl to death, but still cute.

i wanna go home... work's still not done. haven't done much again today, so tired, couldn't sleep well last night. sigh.. maybe i'll go home n play game, hopefully i won't stay up to watch JLove Hewitt in her ghost-seeing drama n then House. god, they're such nice shows, n they have to show them til about 12mid night, which kills me. coz i'm usually so awake watchin them, can't rest my eyes or my mind thinkin about it.

okay, wanna tell mum we're goin home. heehe, adios

Blushed Moment

2006-06-09T16:41:00.000+08:00

i was readin Chloe's blog about her Redang trip, of course swimming is involved. then i thought of my visit to my cousin's place near Tropicana... *Harp playing at the background*

it was a Sunday, mum n i together with my 3rd aunt n uncle went to my cousin CT's apartment, which spotted a huge NEW swimming pool on the 3rd floor (outdoor, unfortunately). mum started to tell stories about how good i was at swimming (er, not quite true, i still drink pool water once in a while), n back when we were stayin in Kuching, my coach was the Sarawak state swimming coach n how he said i was such a good swimmer. then mum went on to say that if we were still staying in Kuching, i'd probably be one of the state swimmers yadi yada yadaa.. gosh, i felt my face turning red! 1st of all, i have really bad stamina, i can't run at all, there was once in the school cross-country run i nearly fainted at the end of the race. i sweated all over n i could squeeze sweat out of my hankie. yes, yuck. but it's true, it happened. then, there's this genetic thingy dat kinda put me in the "short" category, or "petite", however u wanna put it. have u seen any state swimmers being short? n stubby? with ~~big~~ b*g boobs? (sounds so vulgar) u get the drift, i don't feel athletic, i don't look athletic (even tho there were a few times ppl asked me if i was, weird). perhaps it's becoz of my big calf, but then again, i blame it on genes.

anyway, back to the topic. i was red all over, yes. i could see my aunts n uncles lookin amazed with my "talent" while my cousin CT has a smirk on his face. hmph! oh, my couz CT is a nerdily-cute kind of guy. not tall, not fair, not dark, specs, curly hair, intelligent n charming.. not to mention humorous, quirky n a real gentlemen. scored 10As for his SPM, headhunted while still in uni. wat more could a girl ask for? i could set up some dates for anyone interested. :P provided dat he's not out of town AND nobody tells him dat i'm introducing girls to him, keke. well, adios. back to work.

Watch watch

1st word: noun,
2nd word: verb.

dad promised me a watch, for my graduation. initially it was supposed to be a Tag, but all the Tags i chose were not "feminine" enough. my reaction was "dad, if it were to be feminine, it will have diamonds on it, at least a few, if not lots..". n i guess it would be rather expensive. however, we were lookin thru the papers yesterday (NST) n there was a section full of watches. dad showed me a watch he thought was nice, n i should probably choose somethin like it. i saw it, n it's a Rado, i kinda love Rados, expecially when it's a classic Rado. this is the watch dad showed me,

The Rado Integral Chrono Jubilé
(Bordeaux Red)

don't tell me it's fabulous, i already know..

this was the other one dat sat together with the top one in the papers.

i was kinda gasping for air.. both looked fantastic! absolutely beautiful.. well, the normal Rados are RM3k? n this one? *sweat* i haven't actually found out the price for it yet, but it's branded POA?? gosh, my heart will probably break after knowin it's price. let's hope it's well under RM10k.. no no, under.. RM7k? then i'll have to beg dad to get it for me.. IF i got a chance to wear it n it looked great on me. i don't think i'll buy a watch dat didn't look very good on me n spent a fortune on it.

**oh plz let it be nice on me**

My Sex And The City Style

2006-05-11T18:34:00.000+08:00

i was goin thru my Cosmo email, n this is wat i found, Suss Out your Sex And The City Style.

i took the quiz and i'm most like Miranda, the red-head. my 1st thought was, "hmph.. really? she seemed most inattractive amongst the 4.." Here's wat it says, n wat i say..

You're most like Miranda

You're the ultimate power babe (right..), and you dress to suit in pared down, no frou-frou pieces (really? i loved Carrie's floating dresses n skirts). You're smart, straightforward, and sexy. When you talk, everyone listens - because your instincts are usually right on the money (WHOA!). Work on being a little less critical of boyfriends' and girlfriends' less-than-perfect behaviour, and they'll be even more inclined to take your star advice. (sigh, i do admit i have dat problem)

Your ultimate date: Hot debate at your local Thai restaurant, wearing well-cut pants and a satin wraparound top. (geez.. i was hoping a good dessert)

Your signature style: Corporate chic - on the conservative side but with a hint of sexiness for going out. (how true)

Your fave movie: When Harry Met Sally. (i don't remember wat the show's about..)

Your typical work-out: Treadmill or kickboxing. (i hate running, i'd try kickboxing tho, given the chance)

Your dating persona: Nurturing with a control-freak streak. (eek!! ding ding again, correct)

Your idea of foreplay: Phone sex. (ooh la la.. i've only tried halfway.. keke)

Your best love match: A supportive guy who isn't intimidated by your power - he always looks neat but doesn't venture far beyond jeans and a plain shirt. (phsychic! exactly my bf)

quite right, actually.. perhaps i'm really most like her.. who're u most like?

Change of Mobile!!! Number..

2006-05-09T17:43:00.000+08:00

how i wish i could declare "Change of Mobile Phone" instead of just the number.. charz must be so happy to get a new phone, so envious, bf buy gf phone.. i also want!!! :"P no lar, i still owe bf money, where got face to ask for mobile phone?

anyway, those of u who want my number, plz email me lar.

i'm still waitin for my Letter of Good Conduct to arrive in the mail, and for the TT rate to drop. it's at 2.79 today.. :( better TT soon, if not i'll owe darlin 4 months rent. sorry yeah darlin.. i'll do it asap.. gotta find my bankbook 1st, if not more ma faan..

hey ho.. my parents are goin to india this thursday for a week, so i'm not celebrating mother's day this weekend, someone plz ask me out. keke

My prayer is answered

2006-04-24T13:09:00.000+08:00

Refering back to my last post, u guyz would already know dat i have a debtor who still owes me money after more than 2 yrs. today, i'm jumping for joy as i receive an email from his lovely sister tellin me i'll be gettin my money back!! YAY!! this goes to show that prayers are useful, even if just in times of need. well, pray more, brothers n sisters, for if u are sincere enough (n keep the oil lamp lit at the altar), ur prayers will be answered. of course u have to be as innocent as a lamb (Mary's lamb, not lamb from "the boy who cried wolf" lamb) to qualify, so dat means u keep ur lying to minimum, if possible nil; no killing animals or insects, love ur family and also care for ur pets. my theory.

good luck to those in need, do good, avoid evil, pray more.. all the time if u can. MUAKZ

the "best" day of the year

2006-04-19T11:46:00.000+08:00

yesterday morning i woke up n had brekkie with mum, which was rare. i had some 2 pieces of bread n milo. then went upstairs to pee, n weighed myself, u know, just curious. to my delight, i was a lil bit just over 43kg!! wah haha.. the last time i weighed myself, i was close to 45kg, n those of u who know me well enough, i'd die if i was at 45kg, not if i was pregnant, of course.

i happily went to work, then disasters started pouring in:

i had an argument with my cousin on msn, stupid, but i'm stickin to my principles.
mq gave me a hard time on the phone, but we reconciled by sms. ;)
mum commented on my lack of efficiency, documents filed incorrectly, no evidence.
my ex says he'll pay be back rm200 every month = approx 2 yrs, 9 mths to clear his debt. bull $Hi+!
mum commented on lack of efficiency again, urgent documents weren't signed by dad, okay, this is my carelessness, my mistake.
drove home, got stopped by police. got a ticket for crossing the double line..
had a tiny row with jacke, maybe i ask too much, but i'm not satisfied. reconciled.

i then slept consciously from 6? 7? parents n maid kept wakin me up for dinner, which i skipped. woke up this morn with puffy eyes, i'm still havin them, at 1pm. sigh, let's hope today will be a better day. even tho i've just found out i need clearance from dad to issue cheques to creditors, which i already did. hope there aren't much changes..

Food for thought

2006-04-17T11:47:00.000+08:00

i came across this interesting email my primary school fren Wan Wan sent me today, have a look.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.

In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asks, "Tell me what you see." "Carrots, eggs, and coffee ," she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water,the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to you; to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life. If you don't send it, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message! It's easier to build a child than repair an adult.
This is so true -- may we all be COFFEE.

another book?

2006-04-11T13:57:00.000+08:00

i've done reading the 2 books Siew Ching and Chin Hong gave me for my birthday. i didn't finish it like in 2 days, but at least i've been readin more now. the 2 books are:

The Undomestic Goddess - by Sophie Kinsella
Berdgorf Blondes - by Plum Sykes

alright, both are chic lits, and i would say, BB is so entertaining! haha, the books doesn't mean much, they just provide entertainment to ppl like me who have things to do but don't wanna do them. i find Sophie Kinsella's books to be.. kinda predictable, so maybe it's time to switch to another writer. i've only read about.. 4 or 5 books from Kinsella (not dat many compared to my gfs), i haven't finished her shopaholics series (regretably), but i find dat i no longer feel the need to fork out RM35.90 (it's about there) to buy her books.. (book, no 's') i would still read them tho, if someone has one of her books dat i haven't read is kind enough to lend it/them) to me. i promise i won't wreck ur books, n i promise to return them!

the Bergdorf Blondes are a lil superficial, if not VERY. they're all about Guccis, Chanels, Mahnolos (shit, i forgot the spellin, n it doesn't look right here) and trips to exotic islands, most importantly trips down to South America, namely Brazil. the character adores goin down south dat she'd think about it once in every.. 5 pages of the book? maybe less.. pages i mean.. but it's funny, it really is.

i was lookin for another book to read when i stumbled upon a secondhand copy of Memoirs of a Geisha. it's not mine, i borrowed it from Hui Qi in Melbourne.. 1.. 2 yrs ago? somethin like dat, n this reminds me of the Delta Goodrem CD i borrowed n HAVEN't return. damn.. i think it should still be in my Jazz glove compartment. hopefully it's there.. *s*

anyway, i've got like less than 4 days to finish off my utility box, to be showcased on saturday, n i need to borrow someone's sewing machine. i hope it'll turn out okay, n i hope it'll look good enough in pictures when i post them up here..

til then, everyone in the office are slackin, the HR exec is listening to the radio in his room, ppl were chit chattin all over.. dat was.. half an hour ago, n i think i should be the only one tryin to type as quietly as possible (n failed), not doin her work, n still thinkin of the exact time i should pack up n leave the office. mum called for a favor, n ended it with "well, see wat time u're comin home lar.. u can come home the usual time ((or not))" AHAHAHHA, well, at least dat's the msg i got from her tone. we'll be havin a mass steamboat for 30 tonight, hopefully i would be able to sneak out to Charz's place to get my utility box done, 85%done at least, n mum would have enough help with the 2 maids without me.

Mz to Wz: Hey bro, don't say we didn't try to call u, we tried, but all we got was constant ringing n no pickin up. it's either dat or it's never connected. we tried, many times.. i'll try to be online as much as possible on msn, kayz. i'll try to be here when u need a listenin ear.. sorry about not being there.. WE LOVE YA!! yours truly, da jie.

Testing myself

2006-04-11T08:41:00.000+08:00

I dozed off during work yesterday, after a whole mornin of terrible headache. then as i was workin thru my invoice & D.O. matchin, i switched on my msn (just to see who's online) and one thing led to another, i had my hotmail account checked and came to the Tickle Tests. I took the Classic IQ Test a few weeks ago and got myself a score of 129, which apparently is kind of a standard score dat everyone i know of is gettin.. except my dad, who scored 133. maths whiz.. i browsed around n took the "What Breed of Dog are You?" test n this is wat i am..
<--- i kinda hate this picture, don't u?
What Breed of Dog Are You?
Mz, you're a Cocker Spaniel!

No bones about it, you're a perky, loving Cocker Spaniel. (Think Lady from Lady and the Tramp.) Playful and energetic, you're a real people person — er, dog. People can't help but fall hook, line, and sinker for your friendly, well-rounded personality and natural charm. It's a subtle thing, though — being outgoing and flirtatious, not showy, is the name of your game. Friends, co-workers, and potential dates can't help liking you. How could they not? Your winning-yet-humble ways make you popular, admired, and a joy to be around. Woof!

Right, so i kinda like cocker spaniels.. i haven't had one, but i will, one day..

then i took another test.. ehhe, the Inkblot Test,

Your Unconscious Mind Is Most Driven by Peace.
You have a deeply-rooted desire to make peace in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with loved ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to be able to influence the world in a positive way. You have a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it, and you inspire others to feel the same way. Your innate drive toward peace guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others. Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are...

yeah, right.. uhm, so deep i cannot comprehend.. ekeke

anyway, it's the Prophet's b'day today, n i'm at work, wat a bummer.. to all u guyz enjoyin ur holiday, have fun, n don't tell me about how fun ur day was to make me miserable.. well, have fun!

Stila Workshop on April Fools Day

2006-04-06T16:53:00.000+08:00

Kai, Charz n i enrolled for this workshop a couple of days ago, looking forward to learn new makeup techniques and of course, to get our FREE Lip-Glaze as we were the 1st 50 participants. yippee!! well, they're not very expensive, but a no-branded-makeup-watsoever girl like me wouldn't have any lippies priced dat high, n who wouldn't want freebies???

on the workshop day itself, we arrived a little earlier to have McD in the car (yeah, can u imagine us munching our burgers n hash browns away in my car, IN the carpark??). anyway, we walked miles to go to the workshop, eventhough we were conveniently parked at the lots nearest to the Parkson entry, WHICH was still locked.

all 3 of us got our eyebrows trimmed before the workshop started, n the "makeup artist" made a mistake with my right brow, leavin me with no choice but to cover up the "hole" with more brow definer. Kai's brows got the best trimming, n she looked fab with those new archy brows.

i think the 3 of us were most talkative during the workshop, we hardly listened to the Australian makeup artist who were demonstrating the techniques. the model for the day would be Cherru, a pretty n chic 18yo (chinese!) who's so nice, her fren was equally nice n equally pretty n chic too. AND SHE'S GOT BIG HAIR!! WHICH I ADORE!! too bad we didn't take their contacts, we would have made good frenz with them (altho we're kinda old hags already compared to them).

here's how we looked after the workshop. say it, we're fabulous.. hahaha

a couple of big headed pictures (passport sized ;P)

ah, this sucks, i just found dat i'm so lousy in usin my keyboard to navigate around as i was "mouse-less". it's so good to finally get a mouse dat works on this pentium4 windows 98-runned desktop. brilliant, now i can play all those games my brother had installed in this pc. ciaoz mamaz n papaz.

Picture-mania

2006-03-31T15:52:00.000+08:00

today i've decided not to write so much (becoz my draft wasn't saved yesterday, bugger) and post pictures instead. did some cam-whoring n it's just funny..

1st two are 'before' pictures, when i curl my hair up n it came down beautifully, only to last less than 5 ticks, the ones where i'm in pink tops are taken after my haircut, while waitin for my mum in the beauty parlour.
i need my starbucks~

my trip to singapore with dad, no i didn't go shopping,

i only went to some boring offices and a bloody hot dock.

the fab trio at Friendster Cafe, Charz & Kai's food was great, my lamb shank was.. so jelak! the drinks were good tho, Kai's frenz who said they weren't must have ordered somethin else. it was so weird we kept takin pictures, how the odd (not so compatible-lookin) couple kept lookin at us n how the ah pek sittin directly facing Kai took his shoes off almost the whole time.

Back to Melbourne

2006-03-22T16:40:00.000+08:00

don't worry, frenz in KL, i'm not goin back to Melbourne yet. i've somehow realised dat my PR application hasn't really been progressing, n i'm still kinda procrastinating to call the immigration office n ask them about it. yes, i know, proc again, but really, i don't feel as if i'm in a hurry to go back there anymore. i mean, of course i'd like to go back, work n pay rent easily, but i can't.. yet..

jacke n the bunch has made suggestions to go to HK in june, BUT no plans have been made yet. i'm kinda disappointed actually, dat we couldn't plan earlier, coz MATTA Fair was on n i could've saved hundreds on air fares. mum did comment about buyin my tickets early. then again, i don't think anybody would start buyin their tickets til it's about.. late May? it's stupid, i know, but air fares are so expensive in june, i'm havin doubts whether or not i'd be able to go.

i've got tonnes of bills to pay still in melbourne, let's hope i've got enough money to pay all of them, forget shoppin.

i think i'll go back to melbourne after june, i'd have to think like dat or else i won't get anythin done here in KL. i wanna take up courses n go for trips with my KL pals, so somebody please make suggestions n hopefully we'll get somethin goin n have fun.

fulfilling week

2006-03-20T14:45:00.000+08:00

i had a great week last week, went out with Yoon on tuesday night, had dinner n some drinks with him n his very funny bro-in-law n food frenz. learnt a new card game too, the 1st drop of beer i've had in months..

then on wednesday i went out with Shuyi, Huei Chyn n Sherlvy, i had a great time catchin up with them, n met Yee Lin with her bf when we walked around 1U. i ordered a cocktail during dinner n the waiter demanded for my IC. he was polite, but i didn't think i look underaged.. -_- it was.. rather disturbing, altho it could also be a compliment. i dunno if the other girls were pissed or some sort, all of them were at least 14 months younger than i am.. :P

anyway, friday night was good too, with Charz, Kai, Min n Sathya at the bangsar telawi street bistro. Sathya was unfashionably late, n Charz had to leave early to a fren'z bridal shower(wat's dat anyway? sheesh, i'm so sua-gu). music was bad, shakable to my opinion, but Kai insisted dat it wasn't. we had a great time talkin crap n makin Min drink alcohol when she prefers not to (all the time).

a very big thankyou to Min n Kai for the great prezzies, n Kai for the lovely hand-made card. all will be well-appreciated. n thx to Juei too, for her belated b'day wish, just to let u know, Haan did send me ur regards. ;)

244 gathering @ Penang

2006-03-09T13:07:00.000+08:00

my trip to Penang starts like this..
Ruby booked tickets for us from KLIA to Penang on friday the 3rd, so i took the friday off from work. friday mornin, Ruby smsed me a couple of times, tellin me dat she's already in KLIA flyin in from Singapore (since 10+am). i decided to connect my laptop onto the internet dat mornin, n was surprised at how easy it was. so i surfed, n emailed, n chit chatted... until it was 12noon. my flight with Ruby was 1:40pm, so it was time to bathe n go. i left home at about 12:30 n got into a cab.

guess wat time i arrived at the airport? keke it was already 1:40pm.. Ruby didn't check in as well, n we both got our tickets void. i was devastated, i couldn't just waste Ruby's money n efforts. we took a cab to the old train station n boarded the Nice bus to Penang, n got there at 8pm. keke

this gathering is for the residents of 244 Burwood Highway, Burwood 3125 Vic, Australia.
ppl who are involved would be:

me (my room's next to the toilet, i can hear it when ppl flush!),
Ruby (the big baby who's my diet advisor),
Janice (the big sis who makes (not bake) really good log cake),
Kui Soo - as thin as ever (& wifey Guat Khim - my shoppin buddy),
Darius (he's the joker who never stops laughin, LOUDLY),
Su Ren (the very knowledgable big bro who travels a lot), and
Nick (the big guy who eats butter by slices, not spreaded).

1st of all, let me say dat we had the most wonderful time in 244 (our rented house). i remember the times we cooked for everybody, had great house parties, excellent birthdays. we kinda made our own cakes for birthdays, so they mean extra much. we're all a lil weird, actually, but we bond. n i'd say we've bonded quite well.. livin with ppl u dunno can actually make things fun, if u know how to.

apologies from Darius, who had a lot of work in KL, n he just came back from Penang the week before to see his gf. Su Ren.. was kinda not contacted.. hehe, altho he's also from Penang, currently workin in KL. Nick is still in Melbourne, workin his butt off.. we all miss them.

this is our hosts KS n lovely wifey GK, he's gonna be a dad at 24!(his b'day is in April)

baby bump: she's due to give birth on the 25th March~

Ruby O n I, as close as ever.. she's really blur with everythin but her studies

our happy family photo(l-r:Janice, Ruby, KS, GK n me!)

we do look very happy,don't we? oh, then just this tuesday Darius asked me out for lunch, so here he is.. haha

here's dear Darius, who lives right next to my room, never wakes up to his alarm, n talks on the phone super loudly~ keke another great Eason fan like me!

we're lookin forward to our next gathering, said to be either in Melbourne (where Nick n I would be) or Adelaide (where Ruby is studyin her Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics). let's hope n pray it'll be within 2 or 3 yrs time, yeah? muakz to u guyz..

Thankyou dear frenz~

2006-03-03T11:49:00.000+08:00

CNY + S'pore trip + Valentines - Satin shoes

2006-02-16T13:32:00.000+08:00

i've just realised dat it's after lunch hour now dat i'm starting to write, damn. hehe have got some pictures to share with u guyz.

my cute twin cousins Jin Xian(left) and Jin Yan(right) at the Mutiara Pedu Resort on 2nd day of CNY.

look wat i've found? a mangosteen-shaped dessert! they haf carrots, corn n pear too.

the stage co-ord n music performance was fantastic! Hang Tuah was just too adorable n Gusti Adipati was damn macho~

dinner with charz, sarah, min, kai, fiona n jacke. grabbed group photo from charz. hehe

down at malacca on 4th feb, "he2 ji4" on jln portugis, not bad a chicken rice place.

this is wat my dear darlin bought me for Valentine's, cheap n chic.. i love it~

it's just so sad dat we couldn't spend Valentine's Day together, i miss him so much.. did i mention dat Jacke is goin back to Melbourne on friday? well, THIS friday!! 17th feb.. n i won't be spendin my b'day with him as well.. let's hope we'll reunite soon~

oh, about my satin shoes.. i did have the picture of it in my camera phone but i didn't upload it yesterday, the other picture i have of it has my foot in it, n it looks.. unslightly.. i really should take care of my feet n toe nails.. ;/ y not, i show u my shoe when we next meet up? wouldn't dat be better? altho i can't wear all my new shoes at once, but still.. hehe

my trip to singapore, yes! i got some cheap stuffs dat were nice, at least i think they are. i was there from the 10th friday til 12th sunday, yes, dat short. to think dat i was stupid enough not to apply for leave to spend valentine's day there too.. oh well.. i bought 3 pairs of shoes for myself, a pair for mum, then i bought 3 goin-out bags, no, it was 4.. then i got one trolley schoolbag n a cylinder sports bag for travelling. i am now a privilege card holder of Charles & Keith(for spending S$122.20 in a single receipt) n am entitled to 10% off regular priced items, how good is dat?? i think i am more comfortable at buyin things with small price tags, forgoing the exchange rate factor.

the house phone bill has arrived, n guess wat, i almost doubled the phone calls made to Jacke, which means a much higher phone bill. Jc got his too, with a total of S$600+, excluding house phone. sorry Aunty Chan, we'll keep our conversations shortER..

rain, rain, go away~!!!

2006-02-15T16:42:00.000+08:00

not enough credits to debit!

2006-01-24T00:51:00.000+08:00

i was suppposed to go out tonight, i mean, monday night.. but work came up n i had to work late, as in bringing work home.. sianz.. it's not somethin dat i've done before, similar, but not in particular, if u get wat i mean.. i'm doin data entry, n it's a lil bit drivin me nuts.. i wouldn't mind doin it from scratch, but correcting someone (my mum's) entries seemed so weird.. 1stly, i'm not even sure if i got 100% correct on all the things i've done so far..

i'm receiving rm100 as bonus this year, which is pathetically little, some of u may think, but it's great for me.. coz hey, it's my 1st job, n i've been workin for like.. about 2 months? hehe plus i'm tryin to learn how to appreciate money more.. keke tmr i've gotta part with my money for a while, gotta bank in money to this fella so he could send some car stuffs to jacke, then i've gotta withdraw about 560 to my sis, coz the company banked in her salary into my account.. n she doesn't wanna keep her money with me.. sigh, sad isn't it? then i've gotta give my mum some money as allowance, i mean.. i've gotta be a good girl n give mum some money since i'm earning right? isn't dat wat everyone is doin? earn n give back? oh, i gotta also mention dat i spent about 150 last month callin jacke, dat's only the house phone *faints* i haven't really found out how much i spent on mobile bills.. but i know i finished the last bit of my 100 ringgit reload.. :~( gotta reload so i can send sms n make calls throughout my cny break.. thus explains my "not enough credits to debit".

speakin of debits, i remembered i saw the debit card facility offered by public bank. it says u gotta have a minimum of rm25, more like a deposit, then have some money n spend watever u have in ur account, minus the rm25. i think it's a rather good idea, as opposed to credit cards. in this way, u only use wat u have, n won't tend to overspend. this is wat most of the students do in australia, the most reliable n care-free way to spend money. u don't have to have too much cash at hand, u have a daily limit of $800, or other amounts specified. then u get all ur bills on ur statement, n best of all, as a student all ur transaction fees are waived! of course if u over-used wat u have n u use ur debit card, u get a hefty charge of $30!! bloody.. believe me, i've done it about a few times n i swore to be more careful about my money.. but debit cards are good, i'm thinkin of gettin one, my credit card is only for office n home use.

jacke n his parents are comin over to KL on the 1st of Feb, n they'll be goin up to genting on the 3rd, jacke n i will still be in KL, n i'd be on leave to spend time with him. i'd like jacke to meet my frenz, so plz, if u guyz wanna meet him, let's go out on the 3rd.. i want him to meet as many frenz of mine as possible, i've met too many of his frenz to remember all their names n faces..

well, let us all have really happy chinese new years this year, okay? the dog year is promised to bring a lot of prosperity, as wat Lillian Too said.. her advice: usher in the god of wealth on the CNY day from 1am-3am/7am-9am, from the north. open doors n/or windows facing the north, stand outside facing ur home, act as if u're ushering someone in.. hehe, dat's all i heard before i got out of the car to pump petrol this mornin on 94.5fm. make sure u guyz do wat she says, work hard n pray for the best! i've got an appointment with a feng shui sen sei on tuesday night, which is tonight, so let's hope i ask enough right questions to make myself feel better. hehe

distracted

2006-01-23T01:52:00.000+08:00

(taken at Port Macquarie, NSW)

look at the sea, serene, isn't it?
wat about the tree? isn't it distracting?
i am walkin towards the sea, so serene and calm,
yet i am blocked by this tree, so big n strong..
i have yet to find a way to walk around this tree,
with its branches, so full and so thick,
so prominent and so wide,
to go over it n be at peace,
to feel whole again, to move freely again..

Yikes, blooming infection!

2006-01-06T10:31:00.000+08:00

this is the 1st ever entry for 2006, n i'm writing about an infection. wat a way to start brand new! haha i haven't been blogging, i know.. but i just couldn't bother to connect my laptop to the internet, thus havin only my bro's laptop n the office computer to go online. never mind, i'll do my best, yeah?

kat has had me infected with this.. i dunno wat it's called, but it would be social suicide to not adhere to a dear fren's request to carry it on, wouldn't it? okay, here goes..

Rules: Post 5 random and weird facts about yourself, then at the end, list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected.

I don't know how to use my credit card more often, even though i'm running out of cash.
There are clothes that i buy n have never worn to go out, even past 5 years?
I have 2 maids in the house, but nothing (except for my clothes) ever seems to be clean!
I bought a Honda Jazz for 23k aussie, but i should have gotten a more glamorous car, like a Mercedes A class, or a BMW for a lot less.
I have been eating a lot less, feel slightly slimmer since i came back but i weigh the same, which breaks my heart.

weird enough? haha my turn to infect others.. since charz n u are taken, i'll infect... my cousins.. hehe 1st off would be the bloke with excellent lomo skills, then the psychology major student who generously lent me his car, then Juei the Mad Artist of Life, next, the primary school teacher with a fetish for jap actors and last but not least, Lena the super thin racer chick.

i wanna thank charz n kat for giving me a good xmas n new yr eve celebration. n of course there's andrew, koon, new found fren (kat's fren, actually) joey. i've had an okay 2005, hoping to make 2006 better. i bet dat's always on everybody's list, to have a better next yr. well, i'm off to eat my korean maggi mee with one egg n 3 fishballs. damn it's 11:18am, mq n wz are not awake. i gotta do my migration application, have been dragging it on for far too long. deadline's on the 15th january, let's hope i make it in time.. thx for ur prayers guyz.. the good ones n the bad ones.. hehe adios..

my week startin yesterday

2005-11-18T14:32:00.000+08:00

yesterday was thursday, mq n i went to buy food from.. sheet, i forgot the name of the restaurant i always go to. anyway, while i was on my way back to the car, i PK-ed.. -_- i scratched my left knee n i was bleeding. all i could think of was "BLOODY SHOES!!!". trust me, no matter how new the shoe was, i'm throwin it away. nobody should ever wear shoes dat could make u fall. the lady who was beside me when i fell had the nerves to tell me to walk slower next time, instead of offerin comfort. she deserves a slap. we went home, n mq n i cleaned the wound. jacke came home just in time to slap on the plaster. it was a big plaster, i tell u. the whole thing was about 3 x 3 inches.

after our dinner at home, we went fishing again. hehe, we brought our gear n left for Stony Point. Ping Ping, Ronald, Jacke, Mq, Tracy n i arrived around 8pm, at the low tide. we quickly set up our stuffs n began fishin. n yes, for the first time ever, we caught a big-enough-to-bring-home fish!! hooray!!! i was the one who caught it.. :P n i didn't even use a rod.. i just lowered a bait into the sea n caught it. we were guessin dat it's a catfish, altho we weren't sure. from mouth to tail, the fish measured about 20cms. i am so proud of myself, first catch of the day!! then ah Ping Ping caught 2 small flatheads n an Eastern Fiddler Ray.. the sting ray was so scary lookin, its eyes looked like dat of a snake's.. we packed at about 12:30am n left for home.

after we parked our car at home at 2:30am, our next-door neighbour came out to talk to us. hehe, he complained dat Ronald's car was too loud n dat he was constantly awaken by his loud exhaust. his voice was shakey, n he wasn't very fluent in english. he said if we came back once a week in the middle of the night it was fine, but we do it twice a week (honestly, we come back in the middle of the night like 3 or 4 nights every week) n it was disturbing his sleep. i can understand the neighbour being angry, i think Ronald's exhaust is loud too. we then told him dat we've spent a lot of money to fix the exhaust already, after the initial complaint was lodged. he even said he could call the police or some authority to come check the exhaust to say it was too loud. dat was ridiculous!! i mean, yes, the exhaust was loud, but u can't get the police to tell us dat we have to conform to the lifestyle choices other ppl make.. so wat if we came back 3am in the morning? it's our choice to have it like dat. n the fact dat we had to drive the whole one-way stretch of road to get to our home isn't our choice. we were just obeyin the rules set by the whoever in charge. abcde, after dat we proceeded into the kitchen to clean the fish, which Patrick has done nicely. we threw away the stong ray eventually, coz we didn't know if it was edible or not. n we saw a worm comin out from its gill. yucks.. it was dead anyway, n it was rubbish day, wat other day better than this day to chuck it in the bin?

today i lazed around at home, i removed the plaster from my wound, n it looked uglier than ever!! there were bruises on the side which looked like a big cat had a go at it. it's slimey with a lot of plasma n dissolved antiseptic cream on it. should i put a bandage on? plasters suck. they left a trace of sticky goo on the sides. i'm goin for dinner with jacke's cousin's sis-in-law later. we'll eat at Pacific Seafood BBQ Restaurant at South Yarra then dessert will be at Soul Mama's. bless the espresso pots..

on saturday, jacke n i will try rock climbing for the 1st time. i know plenty of ppl tried it n loved it, i just hope it doesn't gimme another bruise or hurt my knee. after dat my housemates n i are goin to April's place for a dressed BBQ party. yay!! the theme for the day would be the 70s.. n i still have no idea wat to wear, well.. Albert says dat if we can't dress up in the 70s fashion, we'd have to do "Full-On Geeks". sigh, nerds? or bell-bottoms? i can't wear hotpants of miniskirts already, can i? haha well, i'll keep u posted. i gotta bathe now, shit, my knee is still wet. bye guyz. ican't wait for my dessert!

my wonderful pharmacy shopping day

2005-11-11T21:46:00.000+08:00

jacke n i watched Flightplan yesterday, it wasn't too bad, love the twist of it. haven't been watchin many movies lately, reason is becoz Jc's been havin his exams (his last paper is on monday, yay!) n i've got no one else to go watch it with. it's quite sad, i think.. to stay here for more than 3 yrs n not have anyone to go watch movie with. no wait, there are ppl who i can watch movies with, Im Jie n Stephanie.. haha, but i can only watch movies with them on weekends, coz they work n all.. uhm.. maybe i should just mingle with them more.. even tho they're so much older than i am.. but hey, Im Jie is still my cousin, n i love her very much. it's great dat she's introduced some of her frenz to me.. namely Steph, Van, Sarah, Rachel n Liu Jia. Rachel is Sarah's.. 10-yr-old daughter, n they're really very nice ppl.. i did miss out on their shoppin trips some weeks ago, coz i went to Deca. there will be another driving day in december, too bad i'm already back in KL.

okay, anyway.. on to my day.. Jc n i went lunch with Patrick, Tracy n Ronald today, at Fei Chui's again. hehe, it seems out of 10 meals we eat out, 8 would be at Fei Chui's. after dat they went to Hastings, a lot down south to fix their precious cars n i went on to pay the parking infringement we received when we moved house almost a month ago. i had to pay it real soon coz if i don't do it in 28 days of issuance of the infringement, i'd get a court order! i arrived at the council n prepared my debit card for payment. apparently the lady told me she couldn't bring up the details of the infringemtn on the system, n she called someone else, who i presumed to be from HQ. they talked about the situation n i ended up not needing to pay the $50 fine! i was thrilled!! i was supposed to write a letter to contest the infringment, i DID draft it out, but was still contemplating whether to write it by hand or to type n print it out. i know, procrastinating isn't exactly wat i should do in regards to legal matters. BUT i did draft it out!! anyway, i was off the $50 fine (which i'm supposed to fork out of my own pocket becoz i didn't write the letter) n decided to cash out some money to go shopping.. there was a cosmetic sales at the town hall, n i saw a couple of ladies with big bags of cosmetics. gosh, should i go in?? but i don't have any cash in my wallet!! i only had $2.20. :P at the end, i parked at Whitehorse Centro n went straight to Priceline, my favourite pharmacy. after spending about half an hour (definitely more!) in there, i came out with shaving gel for Jc, some shavers for myself (initially for Mq), a shaver's pack for Mq, a bikini shaver, a Dove pack ($17.95 for a firming body wash, firming lotion, intensive firming gel-cream n a bath mit!!), n a curl tong. i swiped my debit card n guess wat, it DECLINED!!! TWICE!!! i was gonna sweat, but apologetically told the cashier dat i'd go to the ATM 1st. i checked my balance n it was -$109...... i suddenly felt just so cold.. n rummaged thru my wallet to see if i have my other debit card, n wondered if i brought my credit card with me. alas.. i called Jc n told him about it n asked if i could use the card i had of our joint account, the account which i am never supposed to cash out on. i told him it was the only solution n he agreed. haha, i paid for my $90.15 worth of stuff (n actually cashed out $200 to pay for it) n went back to my car.. i still wondered if i should go to the cosmetic sale.. uhm, maybe tmr.. hehe

i went home, opened up all my stuffs n decided to try out my new Dove kit.. it didn't smell very nice, but it felt really good to give my body a good brushing. the lotion was good too, i haven't been takin care of them properly these days. i also tried out the curl tong, my 1st curl produced a nice curl, but it made my hair feel like hay!! i should have never trusted these things but i went on.. i eventually curled it with the brush, n i had big hair.. my hair was puffy n big with volume, but the curls didn't come out quite as nice as i thought they would. it was disappointing, n i ended up being massively dizzy. this resulted from my hand-held 2-way mirror. i was holding a A3 size mirror with wooden frames checkin out my hair at the back against the wall-length mirror in the bathroom. it didn't help dat the bathroom light was yellow, trust me, get white lights for ur bathroom n u shall never regret. i couldn't care less after dat, i just slapped on some hair serum n went back to rest my head.

Officially..

2005-11-07T20:04:00.000+08:00

i have OFFIciaLLY:

gave sony n spencer away on the 31st October, 2005 at 2:30pm to the RSPCA.. heartbroken as i am, i have thought it over n there was no way for me to keep them. i don't have the money, i don't have the space..
moved to a new place, which is a fabulously big place. the bad thing about it is dat my room stinks as the last tenant smoked inside it n the ashes has gone into the carpet. no, steam cleaning didn't do the job.
am officially goin back to KL on 25th november with my sis.
helped my sis move to her new place too, more accessible from the highway.. now she'll never have the chance to say dat i've never helped her move after... 2 or 3 times she's moved.. keke
received my mum's forwarded emails to n from her god-daughter in East M'sia. i've never met her, only saw her pictures. it is so weird dat she calls my parents "mummy" n "daddy" when my parents first met her in E.M. it would be lovely to have met her, but feels weird at the same time.
stopped workin on my projects, be it the jewelleries or the sewing. oh shit, i forgot about my to-do list before i go back to KL. dang, gotta find the list.. :P
planted my Asiatic Llilium Toronto bulbs into a yellow pot i bought yesterday.

life has just been terrible without sony n spencer..everytime i think of them, i feel them in my arms.. the weight, the dog hair.. sometimes even their breath.. yes, i know it's gross, but they're like my own children, imagining me shedding so much tears dat day, my eyes were puffy for 2 days straight. i understand dat i can never take care of them like i should, like i would like to, and have decided to not take them back from RSPCA. jacke asked me to think it over before we take them back n i did. i thought of the summer n how all the dog hair would shed, how the carpets would be full of dog hair (i took more than an hour to vaccuum our old room n there was still 20% of hair left) n how i would have to pick up all the dog shit n change newspapers n have the whole place stink of dog poo.. it was devastating, i would be goin back to KL, n come back a few months later. the dogs would be left unattended, n they would be so alone.. in the meantime, they might chew on furniture n leave us with all the scrubbing of walls, patching up n spray-painting. it was just too much work, n with not much space to run around, it worsens the whole situation. i realized, dat no matter how much i love them, so much so dat every look at a dog or a bark from the neighbour's dog would remind me of them, i can never keep them. i've failed to provide for my dogs, n i'm making a promise to myself dat i will not have any dogs in the near future.. not until i've got my own house to call home.. guyz, plz help me keep this promise.. i need this to protect myself from further harm. thankyou very much..

p/s: kai, i'm really sorry i didn't call u on ur birthday, but i will get u a nice present. i haven't bought it yet, but if there's somethin u want dat i can get, tell me yeah.. :P i'm sorry.. Belated Happy Birthday Kai!! luvya

Hoping to keep in touch with him even after he goes back to HK.. viva la frenship!

October 1st (Abalone hunting at Apollo Bay)

there are only 60 days in a year when u can 'fish' for abalones in victoria. and there are certain restrictions to it as well. green lip abalones can only be brought home if they are more than 13cm n black lip ones 11cm. we only saw super small ones dat day, n of course it was illegal to bring them home.. anyWAY, each person was only supposed to bring back 10 abalones, regardless of its type, n it had to be the rightful size. we brought back.. a COUPLE.. (i'm lying) but i guess i'm just too scared to reveal the amount here. it's a really hefty fine to be caught with tiny abalones, so msg me on tag-board, i'll send u a picture of the abalones we brought home. SHHhhhhh!! *ahem* it was warm n sunny, but the water is so cold, i tell u.. sink ur feet in for 10 seconds, they'll get numb! i bought a new pair of dark brown thongs from reef, as my pink havaianas aren't as comfy as they should b, even tho they served me a good 2 years already. sigh, the sun gave me marks on my suntanned feet.. which is still visible til today (13/10/05).

Lunch at Apollo Bay

Jacke n tiny tiny Patrick acting cute!

October 13th
i'm moving to another house on the 19th already, can't wait.. it would be a bigger n better house, compared to my current one.. i'm hoping dat i'd be more hardwokin in cleanin n tidyin the place, for i know i haven't done enough here at Cambridge St. the name of the street i live in keeps gettin better huh? 1st it was Howard St(as in Aussie PM John Howard?) then it was Cambridge St(C uni?) n next it'll be Kingswood Rise.. gosh, it sounds like those.. erm.. villages during the Robin Hood era, doesn't it? all the kings n queens..

i've sent it an application for a part-time job at an art supply store. i wonder y they haven't replied me yet, it's been.. 2 days? gosh, this is my 1st job applic, i hope i get it. kekeke i wish, huh? hehe, well i hope it won't be long until i get a job, i really need money (note there's no 'extra' infront of 'money'). i'm goin broke soon..

i've also signed up for a correspondence course in dressmaking, as i've told charz n min.. i WILL, one day be able to make my own clothes from scratch!! hahaha, dat's my ultimate goal.. wish me luck u guyz, n pray for me! for i'll be the one who'll help u alter ur clothes (in the future) without charge.. kekeke mum n dad also brought our sewing machine from KL, so i can sew!! God, i love them so much..

proud mz

2005-08-07T01:20:00.000+08:00

i'm very proud or myself *givin myself a pat on the shoulder*.. i've just went for a full day course n successfully received my learner's motorcycle license.. yay!! it means i've got an L plate to ride around.. it's not exactly a motorcycle license.. it's more like.. a scooter license, since i learnt n was tested in a mini scooter. it was so cute, i almost wanted to carry it home! i did all the tests n passed at 1st go.. there was this 'slow ride' in which we were supposed to ride slowly on a stretch of road in a box of 0.8m x 10m (approx.). we needed to ride as slowly as possible with our feet off the ground for more than 10 secs! i did it in 14.4 somethin seconds!! jacke did it in 14.64 secs, so he was better.. hehee the instructor (guy) couldn't keep his eyes off jacke, kept praisin him in front of me.. tellin me how good a rider he was.. oh god, it was kinda disturbing.. haha, he didn't exactly have the pervert look or stare tho.. n he kept catchin jacke fixin his hair after takin off his helmet.. the helmets were no good, they gave me a headache n made all our hair looked flat!! jacke, april n i went for the course, n all of us passed at 1st go!! yay!!
after the whole day, we reached home about 7+pm, n believe it or not, we bought a scooter before it was 9pm on the clock. we got everythin discussed n transfered, we even went to my sister's place to print out the forms n stuff n she had to download acrobat reader from the net to read the forms.. we did so many things in that mere 1 hour. it's a metallic red Peugeot Vivacity, with a storage box at the back n a visor in front. it is a really really nice scooter.. n we're both very happy.. ;D
i've gotta practice in a manual car soon.. wanna get my victorian license asap. i went to vicroads (relevant authority) n asked about converting my m'sian driver's license into victorian license. this is wat they told me: u've gotta take a driver's knowledge test, a hazard perception test, n a driving practical test. after dat, if u pass, u'll get a full license straight away without goin on probation (since u've been havin a full license for more than 3 yrs). then u bring in ur m'sian license becoz we have to punch a hole in it n invalidate it. KONG!!!%#@*!&#$% wat THE...??? invalidate?? i'm only converting my license??! so i asked them back: wat if i wanted to drive in m'sia? their answer: u use ur victorian license to convert it back to m'sian license.. @#%%$&*$# total Bull$h!+!! but i'm converting my license anywayz.. :P
