SUPER WINDY SUNDAY

The day started out pretty sunny, but oh was it so wrong!! Its super chilly today! And the strong gusts of wind are not making things any easier for me. Its really bad, cos this cold wind kinda sinks into ur bones, its such an odd feeling .

Ok, things i did today:

1) Church in the morning
2) Lunch at some jap place (yummy food!)
3)Boost!
4)Flea market near crown (oh and the crazily yummilicious pancakes!!!)
5)elizabeth street!
6)Dominoes pizza

haha thought i'll just change the format today. That pretty much sums up the stuff i did today! Quite alot for one day!! PEi! im trying to update as much as i can!! haha. Anyway, i miss everybody tons!! Ive been back for about a week already! TIme really flies! so thats all i've to blog for now!! Till then, love you all!

Fourth day in school !

The fourth day of school just ended for me. It was quite a good day today, good company and all. I had two lectures today, intro macro and finance. SO the day started out with me meeting carina at a cafe near the commerce building. Carina is like my lecture pal now, with two similar lectures back to back. Then we met Jeremy, Ben and Mel outside the lecture theatre. Im amazed at how crowded the lecture theatre was . Can you imagine like it was a HUGE theatre yet there were not enough seats so much so that people had to sit on the floor? ok I was amazed . THen it was lunch at threshermans for us, carina, jeremy, ben, harry and wen. Great company but lousy food. Ok i think ill never return back to the place again. I thought the beef tasted like lamb which is totally off boundaries for me. Anyway, we headed for bubble tea after that thinking we were really early but BOBBA is so fAR. Yes we regretted it after we were like reaching that place. ANyway, to cut a long story short , we were not that early, yes we had to run for lectures only to realise it had not started . BUt yet again, finding a seat was almost impossible! Nonetheless, it was a good day. Just spoke to mum just now =)

So my last few days have been pretty ok. Oh we had Okunimiyaki (wrong spelling i think ) well its japanese pizza . Gary and Andrea cooked it. IT was nice, it was my first time trying it so thought it was interesting. Before that we went to Max Brenner for the much needed chocolate drink and sugar rush. I felt so drained and tired, maybe its the weather. haha. Anyway everything has been pretty good so far, good food, company and all. First week of school is kinda scary too cos thats when u know all the deadlines for the diff subs, assignments and more assignments. Oh well, thats part of uni life!! No escaping !

And so its spaghetti tonight. Sauce is courtesy of Andrea and Gary! Hope everyone is good !! =) miss you all .

back in melbourne!

Im back in melbourne now after one solid month of holiday in Singapore. I must say i really enjoyed myself in singapore. All the shopping, eating, outings and so on. Now, im back to independence again. Guess it will probably take me a while to adapt back . The change in weather, the starting of my cooking again, getting used to staying by myself and so on. Im kind of looking forward to a new term and all. New challenges, new classmates, new subs and all.

ANyway, thank you mum and dad for all the good food you provided me when i went back and thanks mum for being the best shopping partner ever. =) Well, four months of hard work and then its my three month break again! haha . The temperature when the plane first touched down was supposedly 6 degrees. haha what a total contrast to the weather back in SIngapore. Thank God for his grace, i went through customs pretty easily without having to open my bag. But the worst part is always the immigration part , there was such a long queue, think i waited in line for slightly more than half an hour. But thats pretty normal, with all the international students returning and all!

So thats my little update, will probably have to start unpacking and all!! Will update soon! Love you all!

life in singapore

Ive been back for about three weeks and its been awesome. Good food, great shopping, great company and all! One word , enjoyable. In about 13days time ill be heading back to cold cold melbourne. Well, gearing myself for a new term , a new semester. I kinda know that its gonna be challenging but im ready to embrace what shall come my way. Anyway, thought ill write a little about what ive been doing so far. Shopping is the main thing. haha like always. Oh and i watched superman yesterday with my bro and robyn. HMM i didnt like it at all. Thought it was too slow moving, didnt quite like the storyline and all. But as my bro said , Superman is like a must watch show . So there you go, i just had to watch it. Yesterday had a great time with my dear aunts and mum. WE spent the entire day shopping, having meals together and all. Totally enjoyed myself . My aunts are the best! =) Its really nice when you spend quality time with the ones you love, its like you really cherish every moment you have with them. Met up with marian on thurs! Yay so happy to meet my girl ! haha its nice cos marian and i can just have endless stuff to talk about . So glad that she is still looking good and it was nice to hear her stories about perth.

im trying to recall what ive been doing the past few weeks. haha OH OH i went on a little ramen tour with my mum. We call it our ten commandments. Top ten places to eat ramen in singapore! haha. NICE NICE food, I didnt know that there's so many places that have such great tasting ramen in singapore!! ive 8 more to go hopefully ill be able to accomplish this goal ive set for myself!! haha. hmm just thinking about it makes me hungry again!!

Well, another 13 days to go and im really gonna make full use of it and really enjoy myself!! ill try and update whenever free!! oh ya im such an avid fan of football now! totally caught in the world cup fever!! haha awesome stuff!! i actually got up at 3 am on two days!! haha . Yes so unexpected and so unlike me!! but i dont know why but im totally hooked onto it. =)

end of semester one!

My first semester of university life has just ended. Next week is swot vac (which means intensive mugging) and then it will be the exams, followed by home. Time passes really fast here. Now its all out for the exams. Pray for me people that everything wil go well and that i will hang in there for the next few weeks. Its been quite a tiring semester but im glad its all over. Now its time for me to mug very hard. Ive tons to do and very little time but i trust God that he has perfect plans for me and that he will guide my all the way through my exams! Oh well, at least ill get to go home real soon!! YAY! haha. I cannot wait for my much needed one month break. Hope everyone back home is doing well =)

Well, for me now its all about being discipline and determined to strive and do well. Ill do my best and let God do the rest. I particularly like this verse, " For i can do everything with the help of christ who gives me the strength i need....so that we can do the things he planned for us a long time ago" . When im stressed ill always think of this verse. Ok its time for me to go back to my books! Pray for me people and a little encouragement will go a long way =) Love everyone back home!

Which one is ours?!?!

Hello Sis! Spot the difference! hahhaa..now guess which one is ours!

Ok i think i overdid it on the rims on the 2nd one..not suppose to be so big..but u get the point lah! ahhahaa..

FINALLY GOT MY LAPTOP BACK!

Life without a laptop for almost two weeks was pretty weird. Its quite scary when i think abt it, how we are so dependant on the laptop that life seems almost empty without it. Im really happy i got it back, but really sad i lost all my info, photos, songs. Yes, stupid harddrive had to be replaced. Oh well, guess everything happens for a reason. Its been quite a while since i last blogged, well pretty obviously since i didnt have a laptop. Life has been really busy and stressful the past few weeks. With the exams around the corner and TONS to study and catch up. Sigh. Last night i decided to go for OCF. Yes, im like never there that when everyone saw me they were like" where have ya been?" and all that. I mean i usually cant afford the time to go but somehow last night i just felt like there was a calling for me to go. Ya weird but ya. Cos like when i finally got my laptop back i downloaded msn and finally went online after so long . The first person to msg me on msn was one of my cell friends. She told me that she was going to lead worship and all and asked me if i was going. She said somehow she felt God was going to create a miracle and touch people's lives that night. Then carina msged me and asked me to have dinner with her. She asked me if i was going for cell and all. And two days ago , lynette asked me the same thing. Maybe God was trying to tell me something through all these special people =) Anyway i went and i absolutely loved the worship. THe guy leading was jeremy, one of my friends. He was awesome! I mean i felt that whatever he said really spoke to me. Abt casting all your cares and worries to God and that at this time of struggle for alot of people we just had to trust him and that we can be reassured with his presence. Wow, i felt totally touched by him. I loved the worship, i could feel that God was just there amidst a crowd of people most of whom were burdened inside by work and worries. Its a tough time for everyone now and everyone was really casting their cares and worries to God and just wanted to trust him for he is always there for us.

Anyway, on a different note, it was good to see carina, We had chocolate pizza, calamari and minestrone soup. Yummy stuff. I really enjoy spending time with her. Oh and this is to Samantha FOk, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BABE!!! I know i was suppose to dedicate an entry to her for her birthday but i had no laptop and i lost all my photos ! But im glad she loved the card =) Anyway, think im gonna eat lunch now and head back to the bookS!!

saturday night!

It was saturday night dinner with nicole! We went to eat at a japanese restaurant, called Yuzu or something. Haha its a stone-grill restaurant. Food was good, the tonkatsu salad was awesome, the stonebowl was nice, and ice chocolate was good. Had a great dinner, though i was so full i couldnt walk. haha. Anyway , its been quite a while since i last blogged. Oh i finally got my exam timetable!! Im going home on the 16TH OF JUNE!!! YAY im so happy and i cannot wait to go back!!!! BUT, my exams start really early, that means that ive to mugg really hard for the next few weeks!!! Oh well, i just cannot wait to go home!! The weather here has been really bad the past few days, wet, super duperly cold, and dark. Im like freezing now!! Guess winter is gonna start soon, though autumn isnt over cos the leaves have not fallen yet! Anyway,its back to the books for me now! =)

Friday night : Carina and me =)

That was the dinner date we had!! Finally got to meet up with this babe after not seeing her for three weeks!! It was so great, the talking, the eating, the milo lattes that we had and the mee pok!!!

Unfortunately, i wasnt feeling well after the meal. I think i drank too much milo latte!! I left ocf early and this lovely girl walked me out in the dark cos she feared for my safety! She is so sweet! thanks carina ! Anyway, had a wonderful dinner with her !

what an experience!

Finally i handed in my two essays. What an experience! i mean the past few weeks were really stressful, the research, the planning, the writing. Pretty nightmarish actually! But i guess thats part of the learning experience and thats just the start of my uni life, I kinda know what to embrace in the near future. Hmmm...anyway now ive more assignments and tons of catching up to do before the exams! Ah! It seems like a non-stop process. Work, work and more work. Guess thats what students do anyway. Feeling rather tired, guess its cos of the late nights and all. I even dream of my essays! haha scary isnt it! Oh well, for now i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. As they say, "do ur best and let God do the rest". Thats really my fave phrase which i always remind myself especially when i get really frustrated.

Anyway, i finally got to see the pics of the new car! Thanks bro for posting the pictures! It looks really nice and white. Hmm i thought it was suppose to be light blue or something?? haha im really looking forward to sitting in the new car when i get back at the end of june! I cant wait to go back in june! im getting withdrawal symptoms now, with no shopping and everything! i cannot wait to go back and shop and eat all my fave food. Its about two months from now. Really looking forward to it. Meeting my friends, spending time with my family and all! How exciting! but for now, its just mugging for the exams and doing my assignments!! Oh well, suffer first and enjoy later!

Hope everyone is doing well back home! And congrats dad! Looks like the new car is really a lucky charm! haha ! Oh and pls exclude me from all that walking! Yes, you are right im really gonna slow both u and mum down! I would rather sit in the new car and travel around singapore!!! Anyway, going to cook my dinner soon! It shall be salmon, brocolli and rice tonight! yay healthy meal (i think!) ! And i shall go off to cook now! =)

Oops! Some more pics!

Hello Sis!

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 !
