2 days into my holiday

Its the second day into my holiday now. Well, holidays have been pretty all right so far, except for the assignments and all. I spend my entire weekend just chilling out, going out, watching tv and all. And i wake up at like 930 every morning! haha. Im trying to catch up on my sleep. The weather has been sunny and good the past few days. Except the wind today seems extremely strong, i can hear my windows rattling, leaves rustling and all! Strong wind in melbourne is nothing unusual really. Mum and dad are arriving in 2 days =) Its been pretty long since i last saw them. Last year, i used to see them everyday on webcam and all but now we dont use webcam anymore cos its too laggy and irritating. So our form of communication is the phone! What would i do without my handphone! GOsh, i realise im so dependent on it, guess everyone in this IT savvy era is. Oh on friday i went shopping with michelle! it was a pretty fun day although we came back empty handed! But i explored almost the entire melbourne city. We did random walking where we just walked into tiny lanes , where we discovered tons of small cafes and interesting eateries. I never knew such places actually existed. Shopping here isnt that fantastic, considering that its rare that i dont buy anything when i go on my shopping trips. I just couldnt find anything that i really fancied. Oh wells, i shall save up and wait for my end of year shopping. We took tons of pretty pics too! Think i'll post some here since my bro always says that i never post pics at all! Thats true, i havent posted any pics that i have taken here. Ok i shall do that this time. All right so its photos for all to enjoy now =)

Spring

I'm so tired! I spent the entire week studying for my qm test, and finally its over! The paper was pretty hard though, sigh, all that studying didnt really help! Thank Goodness its only 10 percent. At least i tried my best =) Life has been pretty all right so far, havent really gone out much. I realise i stay home alot on aussie. In singapore, i feel the urge to go out every day! Shopping , eating, meeting friends or whatever. But when im here, im a real hommie person. Funny isnt it? I thought ill go out more often when im here but somehow i dont seem to find the time. Another three days to spring break! i cant wait for it! Two whole weeks of holiday! Thats what i really need! Unfortunately, ive 3 assignments due after that. Mid semester breaks are never really breaks cos assignments are always due once school starts. Sigh! But i'll definitely take a few days off to eat, shop and just enjoy myself! I really need that ! But ive tons of catching up to do. I just realised that once school term starts , it will be 4 weeks to exam! How fast!! But that means i get to go back soon! YAY! haha...im looking forward to christmas shopping! =)

I'll be heading out for dinner with andrea and gary soon! Its PAPA GINOS for us =) Italian food! I miss eating outside food! Im so sick of cooking and all. I seem to have run out of ideas on what to cook ! I shall go and look for more recipes and learn a few more dishes! Ok, i shall head for dinner now =) Hope everyone is doing great! I miss you all! =)

cold and wet night!

Its been raining the past few days in melbourne. Pretty unusual i must say, considering that melbourne rarely rains and that explains the shortage of water here. But the weather has been pretty weird lately. Melbourne is pretty well known for having four seasons in one day, and i thought that was just some kinda myth, but no it really isnt. There was one morning, where i walked out and it started to rain. I took out my umbrella and had to brave the strong wind and flying rain. Thinking that it was gonna be a wet day, i was proud of myself that i actually remembered the brolly when i came out. BUTT just when i thought i was being smart, the next minute it became so HOT! The sun was shining and all. How bizarre is that!! Yes and then i kept my brolly and after class when i came out it was pouring again! haha . what a weird weather ! But it is this kinda weather that gives you a headache, hot, cold, hot cold... this sucks haha. But its been a pretty cold spring so far. Not the usual hot and sunny spring but a really wet and cold one. Ok enough about the weather.

The september holidays are coming! YAY . But i still have another week to go and one more test to do before the break starts. Time passes pretty quickly, more than half a semester is gone and after the semester break it will be mugging for the exams! WOW thats fast, exams again! I cant wait for all this to be over! I want to go to hawaii and japan at the end of this year!! My bro is going or wants to go to hawaii and i want to go with him! Its gonna be a great brother and sister bonding session! =) What i really need is good breaks and good holidays!! Im really looking forward to my 3 mths break at the end of the year! There is so much to do, learning how to drive, holidays, catching up with friends, spending time with the family and so on. Tons of stuff to do and im all excited just thinking about it! And i want to go to japan too! i love that place!! The land of snow-hokkaido!! I miss japan and i really cant wait to go back there again!! In the meantime, its studying time ...suffer first and enjoy later!! Hawaii and japan here i come!!! hahaha! =)

goodbye...

Its been pretty long since i last blogged, and so much has happened since then. One extremely sad and devastating news. My granddad passed away on saturday the 2nd of september. I was really shocked when i heard the news, i had no idea that the last time i said goodbye would be my last goodbye to my grandfather. But, i know that now his pain and suffering has ended and im sure that he is in a better place now. Like my brother said 'He is a fighter' Yup, he definitely is. He has been holding on for many years and we are all proud of him. I feel kinda sad that i cant attend his funeral and stuff cos im so far away. But its the good memories that ill always hold onto and that ill never forget him. Thanks to all of my lovely friends who comforted me and encouraged me. i really appreciate it =) This is to my grandfather! Goodbye yeye, you will be dearly missed ...

On a different note, i handed up my essay today. Finally ive finished it. After so much research and time spent on it ! Its all over ! But now ive another assignment coming up and a test . But its all good. I cant wait for my September holidays! Its coming in 2 weeks. And my parents will be coming over. I’m really excited and happy =) I haven’t seen them for almost 2 months and I miss them. Guess my family must be really busy now and im not sure if they will read this, but hope all of them are fine and they’ll take good care of themselves. For me, now I realise how fragile life is and we must really treasure our loved ones around us =) . Hope everyone is doing well.
