Stardee

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.. =)

Sat BLVD Nite (14/4/07)

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

Yoh.. i really haven't been updating hor.. well.. pictures a bit, okay? coz everybody loves pictures... got some happy pictures.. here they are..

Jacke & Yoon's catch of the day.. er January 9th..
Before & After.. Yum~

Day out with sis on Australia Day

My day

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

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

A day out with Min Hui & Chris. Taken in Chelsea beach down South after Jacke has brought them up flying across the city.

Don't u jz love MH's umbrella?

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

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

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 :*

Slacker update

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
