Hello Sis!

Here I have some OLD pics we took when we were over in Melb, some pics of our old camry, and some new pics of the new car! Enjoy!

end of easter

Today is the last day of my easter holiday. Well, time passes really quickly cos just not too long ago i was talking about the start of my one week easter break. This week really wasnt a holiday for me. I had a "long date' with my essays. haha. Oh well, just gonna do my best and let God do the best. I mean it was a really stressful week for me and all. But i guess all things happen for a reason for ill just have to hang in there. ANyway on a brighter note, mum finally got her new car. According to mum and dad, brendan is totally obsessive with it! haha u go bro! Heard u got up really early to wash the car and all and refused to let the maid touch it! How i wish i could sit in the new car! Oh wells, two more months and i'll be home ! i cant wait at all! The weather here has been pretty cold. I mean though i havent left the house for a few days but im its pretty cold in my room! At least there is the heater! Anyway i better get back to my essays! Love you all! =)

Hello baby elephant, byebye camry!

Today marks the arrival of our new car! haha ! I heard everyone back home is really excited! haha i wish i could be apart of this fun rather than slogging my guts out for the essays! =( oh well, so sad the camry is gone! I mean i think i sat the most in the camry, i mean besides mum of course. Lots of memories and all attached to the car. The tears, blood and sweat. Ok im getting a bit too descriptive here and some may think im exaggerating! But really im not! Those were my schooling and bowling days! Yups , it all seems so long ago! Oh well, guess that marks a new chapter in everyone's life! Hope everyone will enjoy the new car! Im looking forward to sitting in it in two months! Till then, i love you all! =)

chocolate muffins!

It was baking of chocolate muffins today! Well, i havent baked it here in aussie since abt a year ago i think. Here are some pics of the end result! Make the judgement urself! haha.

WINDY NIGHT!!!

Last night was pretty scary. In fact, its the night ive been most afraid. I mean ive never heard such a loud howling of the wind and like u can hear the leaves outside rustling and stuff. Ok maybe my explanation isnt good enought but if u were here u would definitely understand. It was strong that my lights actually flickered, i was so frightened that there would be a blackout. ha . what an eventful night! I turned up the volume of my music cos i really didnt like the howling sound of the wind! It was so creepy! i mean ok if it happened back home i wouldnt be afriad. Maybe cos i was all alone thats why i began to get the chills. Oh well, glad that ordeal is over! Hope it doesnt happen tonight again! The wind here can really get so strong! I thought it was like some hurricane or typhoon ! Yes, im not exaggerrating! I think im just not used to it, cos like there are no tall buildings blocking my apartment so i get the direct impact of the wind!


Ok enought abt last night! Life for me has been pretty all right! I mean its like im at home almost everyday doing my essays and stuff . Sometimes i get really frustrated and stuff but thank goodness there is FRIENDS to keep me entertained. Yup, FRIENDS the sitcom. I think im pretty backward cos like most pple have watched the entire season and im only on season 1 !! =)


Anyway sunday was nice cos i talked to marian on the phone! MY marian in perth! She was playing tai tee when i was talking to her! But its really nice talking to her cos she always makes me laugh with her hilarious stories! And i totally didnt know this girl could cook!!! haha ! Im waiting for her to cook for me! In fact, she was suppose to come to melbourne this easter and bunk with me! But she changed her mind last min! HMm hope she comes the next time! And yesterday it was talking to hui yiang on msn! Yay she bought me a tee from Barcelona!! thanks so much babe! =) I cant wait to see them in june! i Miss them!


In a short while, ill be going for lunch and to safeway with nicole! Yes , think i need to take a walk instead of being stuck at home! I did cleaning this morning! Cleaning of the toilet! haha. Suddenly felt the urge to clean! Oh and thanks bro for the nice chinese songs!! I love them! i absolutely love chinese songs! Somehow they make me really happy! =) I hope there is more that he can send . *hint* =) I'm missing everyone back home! i heard the baby elephant is coming this thurs! Yes brendan is very excited! ha but im gonna miss the camry! =( aw! But new car is good! just that by time i return to singapore in june the car would be two mths old! Hope it still has the new car smell! haha i love that smell! Anyway hope everyone is doing well !! Love you all! God bless !

Good friday and easter

Its good friday tomorrow and easter on sunday. My holidays officially start tomorrow and its for exactly a week. However, this holiday wont be really a holiday cos ive to rush two law essays, which are due after the hols. Oh well, i guess easter holiday is never really a holiday here . Its for us to catch up on our work and to do our assignments. I guess thats what university life is really about. I remember still having my easter holidays last year when i was in trinity. I went to mt dandenong and went shopping in the suburbs, somehow i had more time to spare then. Time passes rather quickly , cant believe all that happened about a year ago.
My friends are going for easter camp tomorrow. I'm giving that a miss cos its quite long , 4 days and 3 nights and i dont think i can afford the time. In fact, ive friends going back to singapore too. Haha its only a week but everyone is going to so many different places. For me, my room is where i shall be , to do my assignments . Oh well, im just looking forward to june so i can eat shop and party again! Suffer first and enjoy later! Guess ill just have to remember that! Anyway, miss everybody loads!!! =)

cold and wet day!

Its such a cold and wet day today! Ok the day didnt start out like that in fact in the morning when i peered out of my window it looked pretty sunny. ANd i was very very wrong. The moment i stepped out that was a gust of wind. Not an ordinary gust but a HUGE AND STRONG one. How deceiving melbourne's weather is. And after my class ended at one , it started to get dark and all. I went for lunch with a friend cos we were going to the law library to found some stuff for the essays. It was very unfruitful in the library. We didnt know we had to set up a printing account to print stuff and that it could take one day to be activated. And actually most of the stuff we can find it online and in the comfort of our own home. Somehow the air in the library is exceptionally still. The tension is so great . haha and i dont know why. I get irritated cos we cannot talk but have to whisper. haha yes i dont know why i find the lib a really cold place. Oh well, i had better get used to it cos thats where ill have to do my research for the next five years. FIVE? wow that suddenly seems really long. Anyway because i went to the lib i missed my package!! DHL came to cs but i wasnt home so they will have to deliver it tomorrow. Its so troublesome cos like cs doesnt allow them to leave the package at the counter even if i authorise them to. What a stupid policy.! Thank goodness the guy from dhl called me up just a while ago to say that they would deliver it frm 9-10 tomorrow morning. Just before i go for my class. I was so worried that they would deliver it again and i wont be home. Thank goodness they are coming early in the morning. I hope they actually do and not just make empty promises. Anyway im eating chicken stew tonight. The suggestion was given by mummy and aunty margaret . Yes, im running out of stuff to cook. And thanks to them im having something different tonight. haha thanks for the suggestion! Its dark already! The only thing i hate about winter is that it gets dark easily. Its only 630 now and its pitched black. Haiya. I got caught in the rain today . And i had to take a bath and wash my hair cos i was getting a headache. Funny how rainwater gives you a headache. Oh yar i just remembered. Ive to blog about this crazy blue black i have on my leg. Yes i fell down and it happened at home. How stupid right? You see, i heard the fire alarm the same one that i had to evacuate last time. BUt this time it wasnt my building , in fact i dont know where it came from. So i wanted to look at my window and see where the sound was coming from. I tripped over the blue leg rest and fell and hit my leg against the wooden part of my sofa. It was so so painful. Now its all bruised and stuff. Feel so clumsy. Sigh. I should really look where im going in future.

Ok enough from me now, im going to eat my dinner now! Anyway hope everyone is good back home!! LOVE YOU ALL!

Daylight Saving

Melbourne is now TWO hours ahead of singapore! NOT THREE!! haha ok yay now i get an extra hour of sleep ! The weather here has been really cold . Apparently today its like 11-17 degrees. Yikes ok its a sign that autumn is here. But then again the weather here is so freak that often its too unpredictable. The weekends are ending and its gonna be a brand new week of school oh and it is a brand new month; April. This cold weather makes pple very sleepy or rather it makes me very very sleepy! I had to keep slapping myself to wake up. Thats one of the bad things abt winter. Its so nice and cold to sleep. =) I had to sleep with two comforters last night! That was how cold it was yesterday. Hope everyone is doing well back home!! I miss everyone !

30.03.2006

What a title right? yeah i couldnt think of any title so thought ill just put the date! I'm so tired! Just handed in my micreconomics assignment today. What a relief! I mean i stayed up till like one something two to do it. I hope it went well, if it didnt i cant be bothered already i tried my best. Oh well, i didnt go for night class today. Ok i wont call it slack. My whole body is aching and all, feel a little tightness in my throat.. Nopes not a good sign but after having a good meal (yes, i cooked ) and after drinking barley water i feel much better. Maybe this was what i really needed . A night of rest. I find it so hard to find time to even sit down and really rest. I do have a hectic life. But i shant overburn myself cos ive a long long way to go! I guess im done with all my commerce assignments for the time being. But guess what Ive Law assignments now. And just when i was stressing out over 10 percent for my accounting and econs assignment , guess what? My law assignments are 50% ( HUGE GULP!) . I've two essays and their due dates are just two days apart. BUt i shall not fear cos i know the Lord will help me =) Oh well, i guess one can only call themselves an achiever when they have gone through difficult times and are able to survive them and come out well. Im so gonna be that kinda person! I mean uni life is hectic and tiring with constant assignments and all. But i shall look upon them as challenges. I shall overcome these challenges and conquer them one by one! haha now im sounding like Hercules. But yeah im just gonna do my best ! Hope everyone back home is doing fine. Oh i must send cheryl ang's card tomorrow! Its her birthday on sunday and i want her to get the card by then!!! Easter is coming in two weeks!! But no its not really gonna be a holiday coz ive two assignments due immediately after the break. WHoever said easter was a break!! Oh well, i miss everyone back home!!

pictures =)

The weekends is here !

The weekends are finally here! =) yay my long awaited weekends. Its been pretty hot the past few days. Everyone is wearing spag top or sleeveless. Ha i thought it was suppose to be autumn! Melbourne's weather is so weird. How's everyone ?? Dad's in Bangkok now i think. Heard he's coming back tonight. That leaves mum all alone at home! haha wonder if she's enjoying this freedom. heh. My week was hectic this week, with tons of assignments and tests at the same time. It seemed a bit overwhelming at first but I'm sure God makes things happen for a reason. I mean ive been thinking about what studying overseas means and yeah it really isnt easy. But as mum says its a learning experience and that we will all emerge much stronger than before. Thats true i guess, im mean like having to cook, wash, study and having to juggle many other things is a bit hard at first but i guess it takes getting used to. As dad says , the only way to survive through short term difficulties is to look long term. I guess thats very true. Im sure what lies ahead is alot sweeter and nicer and im definitely gonna look ahead. Oh well, on a less serious note. I went for cell group last night. I went for OCF melbourne uni. That was my third time there. Its like a usual practice for us to go for supper after OCF so we went to some italian place along lygon. I was so full from eating the mee pok before ocf that three of us shared wedges and each drank an ice chocolate.! Ah im gonna be so fat from all that supper!! Ok i will control!! haha.. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves back home! I miss everyone tons and i cant wait for june to see everybody again!! In the meantime, with God's grace and strength , I will accomplish my goals and trust that he will help me =)

UNI LIFE

hey everyone ! Its been ages since i last posted anything. Ive been so busy the past few weeks and days . University has finally started for me and it has been very hectic the past few weeks, with night classes and all. Im back to being independent after three months of relaxing and not even touching any kitchen utensil back home. In fact since mum left ive only cooked once. It was pretty successful taking into consideration it has been a long time since i last attempted to cook. I've been trying to adapt to university life the past few weeks and it honestly isn't easy. Its a really busy place with people rushing to all their different faculties . Lectures are huge and even for my law seminar classes can go up to 45-50 people. Quite a large no of people. Ive been taking the tram to school everyday . Just bought a monthly ticket about two weeks ago? Pretty worth it cos from where im staying to law school is indeed quite a long distance. I hope everyone back home is doing fine. Heard Brendan just extracted his wisdom tooth! Yikes i really hope mine doesnt come anytime soon. The two weeks my family were here was awesome! WE visited so many nice suburbs with breathtaking sceneries. It was really really nice and fun! In fact that was the furthest ive travelled out of the city since i dont have a car and moreever cant drive. But i'll post a few pictures of our "little journies". It was great especially the strawberry picking. It was really an experience. Dad's an awesome ''strawberry picker". haha realy efficient. So efficient that he even helped me fill my bucket. Well, just wanna say i miss everyone and i hope you all will take care of yourselves! I'll try to blog when i have the time . But post msges too cos i just love to read them! Love everyone back home!!

back in melbourne

Hey everyone!
Yes im back in melbourne again. It has been so hectic since i came back. Moving house, orientation... Im just so tired now. Physically and mentally drained and as my mum says " its just the beginning". Yups it is. But on a better note. My whole family is here. And thanks goodness for them , the moving house process was so much faster and all. Dunno what i would do if they were not here. I really didnt know i had so much stuff. SO SO Much. Dad and brendan were shocked at the amt of stuff i had. Haha i had no idea myself. We rented a car and thank God we did. It made the moving SO much easier like so so much. The car was so essential , not just for moving but also to drive up to the suburbs. I will post some pictures later of the places we went and all. I enjoyed myself so much. Like dad said this was my first time out of the city and enjoying the real australia. Yes and thats because i usually have no form of transport , the only one i have are my legs.( which are aching so badly now). Im enjoying the company of my family here. Its nice to see them after a hectic day of school. I miss everyone ! ALL my relatives and friends. Wish everyone was here. Well time here passes quickly so i guess ill see them real soon in june! i cant wait!!! Im now just getting a taste of what uni life is really like. Its really very different . Im not really used to it yet. I guess it takes time. Well, school will officially start next week. I am looking forward for what lies ahead. The journey to success may be bumpy but i trust God has perfect plans for me. =)

Its drawing the end....

Yes, my holidays are ending! It has been a great two and a half months holiday. Did lots of stuff, met up with pple and spent quality time with my family . Its been so enjoyable and yes ive done a fair bit of shopping too =P Im excited to embrace my new uni life which will start pretty soon . Its gonna be quite a hectic journey but im definitely looking forward to it. Here are just a few photos that i took during the hols ! =)

MY HAPPY ENDING =)

hey everyone!
This is my last post of my trinity year 2005. And im elated to say I managed to fulfill my dream of ending the year with a BANG! Yes, i finally got what ive been eagerly and anxiously waiting and hoping for. To enter into my dream course Law and Commerce. As i reflect back on my year in trinity, i cant help but have so many events and memories flash through my head. Both positive and negative. I remember vividly 13th february ,the day i left singapore . The day i had earlier feared to face, yes it has always been my dream to study overseas but honestly, i did not expect to leave so soon at the tender age of 16. Yes 16, what would a normal 16 year old be doing?... Going to jc. But yet the path i chose was not the usual one , in fact a completely different one. I chose to spend my college year at trinity. Everyone felt I was too young to study overseas, i definitely shared the same sentiments. There were so many questions running through my head. Was i doing the right thing? Or was it just a moment of impulse that i would live to regret? I didnt know what laid before me and i was filled with uncertainty and immense fear. I remember hugging my brother so tightly the day i left. I cried my heart out. The thought that i would not see him for the next 6 mths proved too much for me to bear. I remember bidding my last goodbye before heading for the departure gate. Was that it? i asked myself. I breathed the last Singapore air and embraced what laid ahead of me. Yes that marked the start of my journey. In fact the hardest moment was when my parents were going to leave me all by myself in melbourne. I was going to be all alone in a foreign land. Having to fend for myself in everything. I had to learn to survive all by myself. Cooking , grocery shopping , laundry and so on. All of which i will dare to testify that ive never done any of these chores in my whole life. yes, i was going to do what seemed like the impossible. I knew that i chose the path and that no matter what i had to stick to it and complete my year. That would be the least i could do to repay the expectations and hope of my loved ones back home. The first term passed by at the blink of an eye. The work load was little and i was having a blast . April was when mum and brendan came to visit. It was a great two weeks spent with them. But soon i found myself all alone again, embracing the second term. That was when the work load started getting much heavier. It was quite a struggle but i managed to go through those tough times. Then it was back to Singapore. Yes, i cant explain how much i looked forward to coming back in june. I was so excited for i hadn't been home for six months and i could not wait to see my loved ones esp dad cos i hadnt seen him since feb. And trust me it really is a long long time. I loved the june hols but the hardest part was returning to melbourne. I remember being so homesick in june when i returned. To make matters worse the weather was madly cold and the work load was so heavy. Everything seemed so bleak and i was in pure misery. But with God's help and my family's support i managed to survive those few mths. However. i fell terribly ill at the end of term three just two weeks before my exam. I was in fact so ill that i could hardly get out of bed. I was running a terribly high fever and i was weak all over. I was in a complete state of disaster. I remember needing to study so badly yet i didnt have the energy too. That was when mum got really worried and decided to fly over. Thanks to her i managed to get high marks for my exam and i recovered really well. I came back again in sept cos i was too homesick and i wanted to recharge my energy before the most crucial term.. term 4. Term four proved to be a challenge both physically and mentally. I remember having to juggle drama practices and studying for my exam. Mum came over to cook and take care of me during the exam period. And it was so awesome having her as company and support when i was feeling down , stressed and tired. Thanks so much mum.

This is just a brief summary of the significant events of the year. But this year has indeed been a very memorable one. Ive indeed learnt alot . And with God's grace im able to pursue my dream course. I want to thank everyone esp my family for all the support and love they showered upon me this year. I could not have done this without all of you. It was a tough decision made on everyones part but im so glad that everything turned out so well and in fact ive learnt so much from this enriching experience. I believed in my dream and it has FINALLY COME TRUE =) Im so happy . With determination and hard work we can realise our dreams. I look forward to university life. And i embrace what lies ahead of me.

SPECIAL THANKS TO DAD FOR TEACHING ME ECONOMICS FOR WITHOUT YOUR HELP I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SCORE SO WELL. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND THE HOURS SPENT ON SKYPE TEACHING ME . I REALLY APPRECIATE IT ! =) AND THANKS TO MUM FOR COMING OVER TO MELBOURNE SO OFTEN TO TAKE CARE AND COOK FOR ME. THOUGH I ALWAYS TEASE YOU FOR BEING MARIA, BUT I AM SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR PRESENCE AND YOUR COMPANY AND YES YOUR EXCELLENT COOKING . THAT FILLS MY STOMACH AND FEEDS MY BRAIN. =)
THANKS TO BRENDAN FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND FOR ALWAYS BEING SUCH A SUPPORTIVE BROTHER. I did it bro! hehe.
THANKS TO MY RELATIVES AS WELL FOR THE SUPPORT AND LOVE AND CARE.
GODMA FOR YOUR LOVELY CARDS AND TO EVERYONE FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE.
I LOVE YOU ALL.

AS I SIGN OFF, JUST WANNA SAY A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL =)

more prom pics

prom pictures!

hey everyone! just thought ill post some prom pics. Well, prom was pretty all right. It was pretty much a phototaking thing. But nonetheless enjoy the photos! =)

prom pics!

Its prom tonight!

Yes its prom tonight! haha except this prom is slightly different. No hot guys or hot dates. Just a dinner , well a formal one. Cant believe prom is here . I remember talking abt it like a month ago and was like saying " oh prom is in one months time" and now how time flies and its prom tonight. Well, i wont be going to any shop to do makeup and my hair. Im just gonna do it myself. Its like DIY night. ha. I may go for a movie after the dinner. Im not sure. BUt i really do wanna watch Elizabethtown. Looks like a cute romantic show. Exams are in two weeks! or slightly more but AH!! yeah i feel guilty cos i think im slack tonight and all. I really must pull up my socks for the next two weeks and really chiong!! The thing that pushes me to go on is the fact that im gonna have a ball of a time in singapore when i get back. HA mayday concert , christmas barbecue..outing with my classmates and all. WHoa yes i cant wait at all. But like everything, i must suffer first before i can enjoy. Everyone pray for me that ill pass this exam with flying colours. Get my required percentage and all. The year is ending soon and my trinity year is ending , how fast. Yeah but i really wanna end this year with a bang! like do well and everything. I really need alot of self-discipline to persevere. Not get distracted and just do my utmost best for this last lap. Im almost there already i just need to push harder for the last bend. Pls pray for me that ill have the will, determination and discipline to study hard. Any encouragement is very very much needed!!! I know i can do this , yes i know i can !! Anyway on another note, its brendan's birthday tomorrow!! haha yes and he is turning 20.. he is gonna lose his teens... ha. anyway ill decide later whether ill post any prom pics ( it depends whether i look good =P) . I love everyone and hope to see everyone soon!!

life? a journey of challenges.

Life is a journey filled with obstacles . Sometimes i wonder why there must be so many obstacles in life. At times i question what God has planned for me. I wonder why he lets certain things happen and why it must happen at certain times. But God has been gracious. Yes, he has been. I remember my drama last term was such a challenge . Yeah it was a great challenge. And at that time i thoughtt, oh no Im gonna be dead, i dont think i can score this time round. But yet God does miraculous things. IN fact , i did well for drama because my teacher gave me extra marks for my work cos she recognised the effort i put in. These are the little things that God does in his own special way , which both you and i will never be able to comprehend. Everything happens in his own time. Yet, on a darker note. Certain things dont turn out as good as you had hoped it to be. Yes, the normal emotions of sadness, hopelessness and all. You wonder why God made it happen. No one knows but only God knows. Often , i have to constantly remind myself that God has perfect plans for me , that i must trust him. Sometimes i fear for what may come , i fear that things dont turn out the way i want it to. Yet, all these are beyond my control. Im uncertain abt what my future is. No one is anyway. I can only P.U.S.H. I can only pray until something happens that God will help me to achieve the things i want to and that he will guide and lead me in his way. I must change this fear into strength. I will just do my best and not try too hard. I know the consequences of trying too hard. The results are bitter. I will just do everything i can and hope for the best. This entry seems to be like im talking to myself. Maybe i am. Trying to remind myself and get myself on the right track. Yet, its also to share with you my inner thoughts . Im sure everyone has felt this way before. Unsure abt what lies ahead. But yet im sure there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Yes, im heading towards that light for i have faith that as long as i believe in the plans God has for me , i will be fine .

Back here and nice MAZDA RX 8

hey everyone! im back in melbourne again. I had a great two weeks in singapore. A good break. Its back to the books now , another two months of school and ill be going back to singapore. I shall do my utmost best in this two months. DAd, i really like the mazda sports car!! I think its so so nice . YOu should get it. I heard its manual. Well, the should inspire me to learn driving and manual in fact. It will be really fun. A new car and all. The doors are really cool. Yes im gushing over this car. Dad we need a change!!!! haha. anyway back to where i was. I'm glad that i had the opporunity to see my brother march with all his platoon mates and all. Everyone looked so *guai* and all. I guess army does do good. It turns boys into men. THus my conclusion is that it is essential for all guys to do NS. haha. I just had my dinner.r Jesters pies was what i had. Yes i realise i tend to eat alot less here than in singapore, which may not be a bad thing. Went to church in the morning then did a bit of grocery shopping then came back and slept. Yes im still kinda tired and all. Trying to adjust to life here i guess. Thats pretty much what i did today. Realised i do alot less stuff here than in singapore. Maybe cos there isnt the convenience of the car. Yes the car. Gosh wish i could drive. Speaking of which dad, its really nice the car. OK, im being really repetitive here but yeah i realised the older people get the more sporty they wanna be. haha. But hey that car is cool. I shall post a picture of it. Anyway, two more days and it POP for my bro. " GOODBYE GOODBYE THIS IS A POP LULLABYE " . Yes this song is stuck in my head. Its a great song. Really catchy , ive listened to it so many times here i have already memorised the lyrics. =) anyway i hope everyone is doing well ! Take care and God bless you all !!!

HORRIBLE SICKNESS!

hello everyone. Ive never been this ill before. Ive been ill for more than a week already. With sore throat, fever and running nose. In fact, my fever keeps escalating up until it reached 39 degrees this morning. So much so that i had to go and see the doctor. He just kept saying "not good..not good". He said i caught a virus. Its influenza or something. Yes how timely when my exams are next week. I do feeel very very horrible. He asked me whether i needed an mc for yesterday and today and i told him i only missed school today then he asked if i needed mc for last week cos he thought i missed school and i said i went to school. Then he was like " whoa, you were so sick and you still went to school? You're a very brave girl". Honestly i hate to miss school and the thought that i missed school today totally sucks. My whole body is aching and i think this is the most sick ive ever been in my whole life. And it sucks even more when you have to deal with it yourself. No family members and all. Yes, i am in a miserable state. But im trying really hard to fight off this sickness. In fact, the doctor asked me when i needed an mc and i said that i only needed it for today. Then he said "no no no, ill give you mc till fridaY.you need it." No i cant afford that. Ive eap in class exam tomorrow and my exams are next week, how can i afford to miss classes. I wish i can just rest but obviously i cant. Can you all please pray that ill recover soon. This has been on for so long and its really making me suffer. The feeling is just terrible Its like i really want to study but my body is killing me . Nonetheless im gonna fight back, im gonna try my best. HOpe everyone can pray for me. I really wanna get well soon.

end of drama!

hey everyone! finally my drama exam ended today. Yes, what a relief. Now ive to focus on my exams which are in about one and a half weeks. Yes, time passes very fast and according to dad, when time passes fast it means im spending every single hour of the day wisely or something. haha i hope i am. Well, it went all right today. I gave my best and thats pretty much all i can say. Its a team effort so i guess if ive done my part thats the most i can do. We practised hard and yeah now its like its all over. Which is good i mean. Now mum is all alone at home cos dad is in paris, bro's in army and im here in melbourne. Poor mum.!NVm mum im coming home soon! Yeah i am. Im still on the waiting list for the 15th. Hmm though the only consolation is that im first on the waiting list. haha. Yes . Really hope i can go back earlier. Hope everyone can pray for me. I was down with fever yesterday. Everyone here is falling sick and im just one if its victims. Thankfully by the grace of God i had the voice and energy to perform. But cos i had to shout in the play, the moment we finished i kinda lost my voice and now my voice sounds worse. Oh well, at least that didnt happen during the exams. hope ill recover soon . Im feeling much better today. Anyway gotta get back to my books! love everyone!

tiring day!

hey everyone! I know i dont blog very frequently actually i only do when im in the mood to. Well, today was quite a tiring day and all. It was full dress rehearsal for drama today. It went pretty all right just that some forgot their lines and all . But i think overall it was all right. The story line is ok, i wont say that its good. Yeah. Anyway, i guess it depends very much on how we act and portray our character. Drama! It is something i never ever dreamt i would do. Yes, it seems quite beyond me. Like Jaslyn and drama? Yeah, it sounds weird. But then again, ive not much of a choice so i guess i'll just have to try my best. Drama class ended late today, like half an hour late and i had to run to my psych lesson which was so so far away. It was mad! And i think i was marked late cos its the new demea ruling. Demea-(dunno if i got the spelling right) is the govt department that controls all our visas and attendences. Yeah, if like we are 15 mins late, we are considered as absent. But luckily i had a reason and late doesnt count to being absent. Oh well, bad luck i guess! It wasnt even my fault i was late so i think she put late-reaason being drama. Haiz whatever. The weather here has been all right. Quite cold and rainy this month. I'll be going to some art gallery thing for my hoi lesson tomorrow. Its all the way in south bank then ive to rush back for lunch and then next lesson. I think i spend half my life rushing here and there. My legs are killing me. Yes, i miss cars. I havent sat one in like ages. Gosh, now i know what a comfortable life i lead back home. Sigh. Oh yeah i hope i can get the ticket on the 15th. Can u all pray for me that ill be able to get it so i can go back earlier? Hope that i will be off the waiting list soon and get a proper tix. Please help me check dad! thanks! oh yeah i ate char siew rice that i dapoed from foodbowl. I know im suppose to cook but i met my drama friend evan and i was suppose to walk back with him. Then he said he wanted to buy dinner. And yes yes i gave in to temptation and bought it too. It was quite good. I know, how rare of me to actually praise something. I came back and fried an egg to eat with it. It was quite a good dinner. I havent seen my brother or spoken to him in a long while. I wonder how he's doing! I miss him and my Godmother, Rebecca and all my relatives and everything. I miss my parents of course. I cant wait to see everyone again! Anyway i think i will leave it here . Take care everyone ! love you all!!

its national day!

Happy national day to one and all!! Its the first time this year that no one in my family will be at home! Dad is in china, mum in hongkong and brendan is going back to army soon and im in melbourne! Thats so sad. But i will be having dinner at singapore chomp chomp with my friends tonight i think. Then i'll be watching the parade online. Yes, i know im suddenly so patriotic. But hey, its national day and we all attempted to wear red and white today. It was nice. SU vien was so funny cos she wanted to wear red and white so she wore a skirt and a thin white jacket and she was dying cos it was so so cold. Nice try girl! At least we all know you are patriotic. I attempted to wear white today. Which i kinda did successfully. Well, the air ticket thing can only be confirmed once my timetable comes out. Guess i have to wait before i can make any changes. I believe that if God wants me to go back earlier i will be able to. I'll just leave it in his hands. It is raining now. IT was been raining so often these days! Thats bad cos it only gets colder! How miserable! Dad, you must be on the plan now. DO have a safe trip yeah? Mum must be happily shopping in hong kong! Havent heard from her for a few days. Its all right mum, as long as you buy me lotsa stuff. =P My brother seems to be so busy . But thats good, he is gonna be a successful man one day. I just know it. Heard he was featured in the newpaper or something today. All i can say is wow bro , im really impressed, so much so that im at a loss of words. Its the passion that carries you far. Im proud of you. For me? Ive assignments due next week and stuff so ill do my best and i know that with the Lord guiding me , everything will be done according to his will. Anyway, happy national day to all! Its the first time that our family is like all over the world but then again our hearts are always one! cliche it sounds. haah take care everyone! love you all =)

COOKING DISASTER!!!!!!

SIGH!! i am so tired...i had the most disastrous dinner of my whole life!! No not the taste of the food but the preparation !! i intended to cook porridge with spam coated with egg..yes that sounds good, or so it did to me. BUT after boiling the porridge , i put it aside and decided that it would be time to cut the spam and coat it. SO i started to cut my spam and then i took out the egg from the fridge. GOSH !! there was one egg that was already broken inside ! YES a newly bought tray of eggs. HOw stupid of me not to check. and then i slowly took a spoon and scooped the egg out. BUt i then realised that it affected the other eggs too, thus making them stuck to the box. SO i took out all of the eggs and put them into a plastic container. AND I PUT IT ON THE HOT plate!!! that was the biggest mistake ever. REmember that i just boiled my porridge so my hotplate is hot. YES how clever i was and i put the plastic container on the HOT plate. And yes as u can probably guess now. THE PLASTIC CONTAINER MELTED!! ARRRGHHHHH!!!! ANd i had to take a sponge to remove all that.. AND yes its poisonous fumes. It was so hot that i sort of burnt my finger. IF u think this is all, u are clearly mistaken. That was only the beginning. SO i had to clear up a whole big mess. ANd then i started to fry my luncheon meat and all . Then i put it all on the table. NExt, i held the bovril by the cap and it flew out from my hand. YES I had to chase the rolling BOVRIL bottle. Oh i forgot to mention that i couldnt open the bovril cover earlier before i started cooking so much so after struggling for so long. I decided to apply my ever so limited knowledge of science. Heat will expand the cover ! and so it struck me and i went to boil water just to open the stupid cover. Ok and now back to where i was. So i started eating my dinner and all. I had so much washing to do after that. Ok nvm then when i was gonna throw the trash i realised the egg had leaked out all over my bin. SIGH!! and i had to wash the trash can too ..!! AS if i didnt have enough washing.!! THis is the worst experience ever...smelling poisonous fumes. getting all irritated with the stupid things that i do. MY goodness!!! worse day every!! I HATE COOKING !!! i cant stand it..it kills me so much!!! juST when i thought i was getting back into the swing of it..it has totally turned me off.!!!!!!! Im so mad, what a disastrous dinner. i shant cook porridge for a long long time.!!!!..............................

first week back

I just got back from grocery shopping at victoria market and safeway. Tired,arms aching and all are words i can only describe my present state. Yes, it has been a while since i last did any of these things. I escaped from these stuff when i went back to singapore but now im back to having do it again. Oh well, guess thats life overseas by yourself. This week has been mentally and physically exhausting for me. Well, firstly its results week, secondly, its back to doing everything by myself again. Quite a struggle i must admit, considering i lived a sheltered and comfortable life at least for the past two weeks. Honestly, I kinda miss that. Well, i got all my results back. It was all right but not quite up to my expectation. Was quite disappointed with some results.Initially i did struggle to come to terms with my results. It is really weird cos here though u get 80 over percent you are not happy. Thats because the expectations is different i suppose. I was brooding over my results for quite a while but i decided that there is no point on doing that anymore. It would serve no purpose. Its easier said than done , but i would definitely try. Ok everyone here is feeling quite homesick, and im no exceptional. IT takes a while to adjust back to life here i suppose. Ive had quite a hard week this week but as dad says "life is full of ups and downs". I guess its my down period now . But i hope it will be over soon . My brother has been in the army for about four days? I saw the picture dad sent me yesterday. He is really BALD now. LIKE BALD. haha . but im really proud of my brother. He has really excelled in poly. Well done bro !! Anyway alot of issues have been brought up between my parents and myself. Friends , life skills and all have been discussed. I will not go into detail but it has been useful in helping me see the big picture and my parents have always been so supportive and all. Giving me advices in my most dire state and all. Thanks mum and dad. I appreciate it alot. Sorry for making you all tolerate all my whining and all. I am really quite a whiner. Sigh. This has been a week since i came back. LOts have happened and alot more are about to come. Life is a journey, a long one full of ups and downs. I just have to learn to deal with it.

back in australia

I'm back in melbourne once again and the next time i'll be going back to singapore will be in december. Seems quite a long time from now. Anyway i really enjoyed my stay in singapore, good food, great company, great shopping. Everything was great. I really enjoyed every bit of it. My brother is going into army tomorrow. Wow, time really flies and yes this is a new chapter in his life . Well bro, all the best inside .i'm sure you will do fine. The weather here is really cold , well obviously because its winter. Im still adjusting back into my normal life here, cooking and eating alone and getting used to my small room. I kinda miss my bedroom . sigh. This half of the year is gonna be crucial for me and yeah im gonna do my utmost best and score. Ive been here for more than half a year already. Time does pass quickly. Everyone here is missing home. Sometimes going back home and coming back here again makes one miss home even more . But then again , i should feel refreshed and ready to face the challenges of the second half of the year. My parents will be coming up in sept =) . In the meantime, all the best once again bro and mum and dad..take care =) love you all.
