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 been long!

hey everyone! its been so long since i last blogged . I was very busy the last weeks with my essays and all. Finally handed them in last friday. What a relief! Now ive a drama exam coming up and eap presentation, followed by exams. Yes yes im really busy. Life has been pretty all right so far, except for the heavy workload and all. Its so so cold today im like freezing here. I think the lowest is seven. Ive to leave soon for my drama practice cos my drama exam is next week and my full dress rehearsal is this wed. I find that time does pass real quick here. Wonder how everyone is doing. Godma ! you have not posted for a long long time . Heard u have some dificulty logging in or something.

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 =)

They were gonna show some movie but i'm not quite interested in watching it. I went to church today. The one at swanston. It was an all girls thing. Su vin, jolene, sarah and me. WE had jap food for lunch at some restaurant at QV. It was quite good . Su vien and i shared a tempanyaki set and a katsu don. It cost us abt 10 dollars each. NOt that bad. It was a good lunch. Talking about everything under the sun . Yes when its all girls , the topics discussed are quite obvious. After that, i came straight home, did my laundry and work. Thats my typical sunday. Oh well, have assignments due soon. Stress level is increasing. Anyway dad, enjoy yourself , im sure you are! Ur like eating bak kut teh and everything. Sigh, im not eating any of those.

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.

HOME SWEET HOME SOON!

hey everyone ! im gonna be home in like three days! yipee..in the meantime ive one more paper left.Psychology. Yups. i have today and tomorrow to study for the paper. Rebecca's wedding is coming up in like a few days. I bet everyone must be really busy and stuff. The weather here has been pretty cold lately, wait actually very cold. Yeah i heard its snowing in mt buller. haha cool . Dad , u are going back to singapore tomorrow right? Heard its hot in switzerland. I guess most parts of the world are hot only aussie is weird cos its always the opp. Anyway if anyone needs anything from melb, tell me k. I still have fri night to buy. In the meantime , need to get back to my bookS! take care ! see everyone soon!!hugs

Bad day!

Sometimes life is so weird i cant quite understand it. I had my monologue today. I spent a long long time practising and rehearsing and whatever u call it. But guess what? i forgot the last line !!! Bleagh! My teacher told me the first word then it all came back again. Haiz..was really disappointed and angry. I really dunno what happened . i wasnt nervous until i forgot but just that sudden moment i dunno why i forgot. Thankfully i didnt panic when i forgot , i just went on acting. I was so angry and disappointed while walking home. Felt moodless and sad cos i really tried my best. Sometimes i feel this acting thing kills me. Thankfully this is the last solo exam. the rest will be in a group. Oh well, i came back then i went straight to sleep. I was fuming mad and i decided the best way to cool down and forget abt it was to sleep it off. Ok i was so angry i cried. Haiz...after i woke up i felt much better. Like i thought it through, maybe God made it happen for a reason. Sometimes i really dunno why things happen this way. Esp when u have tried ur utmost best and yet things dont turn out the way u want it too. I have concluded,,,THATS LIFE. i practised so much until i cut my last finger till it bled. haiz...bad bad day...never mind..everyone has bad days... ill generate my energy to studying the rest of my subs..way more impt than this... ive finally finished all my assignments..eap..hoi and now monologue... im suppose to be happy that its over..i am..maybe the monologue thing just spoiled it all. But the consolation is i really did try my best.

exams!!!

hey everyone ! just got my timetable today. sigh. my last paper is on the 24th and its an afternoon paper. So guess i cant be present for the church wedding. But i'll be back for the dinner. kinda disappointed but oh well, guess thats part of God's plan for me. Its been quite long since anyone last posted, where has everyone gone. anyway i dont think i cant post anything the next few weeks cos my exams are coming up so ive got to study and all. Anyway , hope everyone is doing fine. =)The weather here is really cold now. like 12 degrees and all. So yeah ive been wearing my winter jacket though its only autumn. WEll, gotta go now. Take care everyone ! =)
