[Goodbye]

2005-02-16T22:43:00.000+08:00

I live on the east side of sg and quite near to the airport too hence I always hear the sound of the plane flying past. However, I'm quite sensitive to the sound lately cos I know some of my friends will be flying back again to start their "quest" again.

Goodbye to Connie & Eugene: Study hard guys, it has been a wonderful experience with u guys for the past one year in 2004. Will missed our chicken curry night and majong session. Do visit my darling often... *smiles*

Goodbye to Rina: I feel so happy for u tt u can continue yr studies with yr darling with u in perth. Though there are ups and downs but I'm so proud that u cleared all obstacles and walked this far. Sorry for nt being able to catch up with u during yr stay in sg. I promised to meet up with u when u come back. *I swear* Bon voyage.

Vincent and Derek will be flying back to brisbane tomolo too... *sigh* days are running out.. darling will be flying off this coming sunday... 9 long months to go... I'm not sure how am I going to cope with it. Sometimes the thot of it makes my tears flow. Just like now... *hais* Maybe I shld make myself busy and preoccupied with things like work and shopping with mum. But I'm sure these were nt enough, how could I easier find things to replace darling?

I'm just being emotional, at one moment I feel so happy with the CNY happenings and V Day celebration. And now I suddenly juz thot of some unhappiness will sadden my feelings. Can we juz let the 9 months past in just a snap of fingers? *blah* I'm just talking crap.

[V Day]

2005-02-16T13:14:00.000+08:00

Had a small celebration with dear on Monday, though it was just a simple one I treasured my days with him before he set off to australia again.

Watched 'I do I do' movie with him, wanted to have international buffet at Sakura for dinner but then we were late hence after walking around Suntec, we decided to have dinner at Soup Restaurant. It was dear's first visit but second for me. We had Samsui Ginger Chicken, Lotus & Spare Ribs soup, Slice Fresh Fish fried with ginger and a vegetables dish. We were so full and I loved the soup and the chicken.. very yummy! Din really took much photos cos we were tired (esp it was just after CNY celebrations) Took some of the photos of the dishes we had.

The photo of us wasnt taken on that day *lol* so I just took a latest photo of us and place in it *smiles*

Met dear's poly year one classmate on our way home. And he got married last year and both of us missed the chance of attending his wedding cos he couldnt contact us. He mentioned that there will be another 2 couples getting married next year! heeh... So many ppl getting married, age is really catching up *sigh*

It's 12 midnight now.. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Seems like when age is getting older, u will start to feel not so excited abt the whole thing. No more anxiety to celebrate this occasion. Though I still do have lotsa of programs line up for me...

Anyway, had my reunion dinner... a simple one. Will be very busy these few days.. as I've got plenty of relatives to visit and having mini gathering at my Aunt's hse on top of that my polymates will be coming to my hse to celebrate CNY together.. this is a must as every CNY we will gather and celebrate today.

Okie, enough of my ramblings as it's nt good to keep on nagging and grumbling on CNY.. hehe.. so there just wish me luck in getting more angbaos as I need $$. Will be relying on tt to celebrate V Day with dear.. both of us are damn broke and I still gonna get him a bday present too...

*cheerios*

[Happy Birthday, Mummy]

2005-02-06T23:33:00.000+08:00

I'm so tired today.. din managed to play my latest Rose Online cos server was overloaded *sob sob* So I decided to follow my parents to buy CNY goodies.. god knows I will reach this place called Pasir Panjang Wholesale Market! Thats very far cos I stay in the east! Anyway, I was fascinated by the stuffs sold there.. Various varieties of stuffs! (precisely, tt's why it's known as wholesale market! dumb dumb me!) Great experience, cheap stuffs! The discounts we get is definitely able to cover our petrol cost travelling there!

Nonetheless, it was so damn hot!! Seems like everyone there is suffering from "sweat patch" on their back.. heehee.. luckily I was wearing black top so nt obvious... After everything, we went for a cooling sugar cane drink session... hehe..

I'm now so tired, must be suffering from the heat I got in the day... I feel so lethargic now...

CNY is getting nearer and nearer but I dun it to come so soon.. cos I dun wan my dear to leave me tt soon... *sigh*

Lastly,

Happy XXth Birthday, Mummy!!

Suppose to play Rose Online but then not sure it's it down.. cos I cant login.. *sucky*

Anyway, I had a great saturday nite... nt that the event was planned in a nice way but it was juz nice. Met dear to Simlim to purchase our webcams... it's really impt! No $$ oso must try to "squeeze" some out to buy this webcam... it's the oni way to see dear when he fly back to aussie. *smiles* Bought the Logictech Quickcam IM (heard it's a new product) and found the cheapest shop selling at 55 bucks...

When we were on our way out to have some jalan jalan session, we bumped into Vincent and Lionel.. hehe... So 'qiao'! Accompany them back to Simlim cos Vincent wanna buy a portable hard disk.. 150gig! haha... After tt head down to Compasspoint cos dear wanna pay his hp bills and Lionel wanna change his number to Golden Number! So there, we were helping him choose haha... we keep choosing those expensive number for him... haha.. so funny.. Anyway he settle for a number tt is similar to his hse number and easier to remember.. and tt lady who served us was so friendly... she even gave us lotsa of M1's CNY paperbag (those which can hold 2 to 4 mandarin oranges) haha.. she juz took out and pass it to us and we counted it's about 12 of them! hahaha.. and Vincent still joked and ask for M1 red packets! hehehe...

Had curly fries for snack at Mac cos Lionel was craving for it.. he was so sad when he wanted to buy on previous day it was sold out! heheeh.. so now he had the taste of curly fries again! hehe...

Head back to Tampines after tt, everywhere is so congested with ppl and we are glad we din went to city area as it could be worst! Those guys were so funny and throughout the whole thing me and dear keep laughing and laughing non stop as they were so hilarious! Had our dinner and seems the weather is so hot and everyone is tired and head back home quite early.

Tried out my webcam and it's so fun! Webcam with Dave last night and it was so funny.. I saw him and he saw me.. haha...! Since he keep saying that he missed me.. I shall grant him a wish by letting him see me again... LOL! Live streaming with dear now.. and he looks so funny when he juz woke up!

[Up and Running]

2005-02-03T14:16:00.000+08:00

I'm so happy that my laptop is finally fixed! *yay* and immediately my itchy fingers started to design a new layout again... It looks plain and calm with the scenery pic above. And I think it just perfectly suit the upcoming Valentines Day!

My wallpaper is now soo pink! I did a simple and plain wallpaper using the brushes I've found on the web.. hehe...

Click on the thumbnail for better resolution
I'm soo in V Day mood! *lol*

[Updates]

2005-02-01T14:12:00.000+08:00

Guess it has been some days since my last update, it's time to write a decent entry with the things tt has been happening:

Laptop
It's been quite a while that my lappy is going crazy.. maybe the lifespan is up after supply massive usage to me for the past two years. Nevertheless, I'm still trying to salvage whatever I can. Most probably the fault lies in the "patching" of software and the strong and powerful virus recently. Anyway, thanks dar for lending me his laptop for a few days so that I wont get grumpy and start finding fault in him... my dar is really so patient with me and he promised to get my lappy fixed!

Life
Life is still great but I guess sooner or later I will start finding it getting boring. It's not that I'm very picky in jobs or whatever. I just think I wanna have a good rest and at the same time thinking what I wan in my life. Thanks my family for being supportive and din give me pressure when comes to job hunting. Everything is going well as planned. Maybe I've decided what I wan between an "Educator" and an "Engineer" or maybe I have not. However, financially I'm worried cos my bank acct is running quite dry... *sigh*

Food
Had a sumptuous dinner at "Hilltop Restaurant" situated near Jurong Bird Park on last saturday. Had teppanyaki! Food was good but companion was the main reason. I had my family and dar with me... Though it was kinda ex but both dar and me agreed that it was the best teppanyaki we had ever ate. 5 person with a total bill of $150 bucks with complimentary of dessert for each person. We had cuttlefish, sukiyaki chicken, deer meat, asparagus, "kai lan", miso soup, rice etc which was kinda worth the price.

Recent Buys
Din really do much shopping cos I am now in tight financial budget. Though daddy still give me some allowance but then I threw them into my monthly handphone bills and internet bills. Am now surviving on my savings and previous years "angbao" money. However, I'm now into dangling fancy ear rings. I'm not sure how this started. I'm a person who can wear the same pair of ear rings for years till mummy nagged at me for a change then I will buy another pair of simple design and wear for a long period. But now I'm so attracted to those dangling and long ear rings and happily matching them with my clothes. Not forgetting those necklaces too... haha... will have more collection of them when I start having my earnings! Finished reading "Shopaholic and Sister" and I bought "Shopaholic ties a Knot" to read. And btw I fall in love with minis too. (which is so usual of me)

Gifts
Received many "Graduation gifts" from my family and relatives. I've got a new handphone, new fila bag and many many angbaos! Oh yah, my grandparents bought me a Fossil Watch and the best part is that they went to buy it themselves! omg.. I find my grandparents so fashionable esp that they noe this is one of the latest "IN" brand! I'm so happy yet guilty becos my grades aint tt fantastic yet they still shower me with all their encouragement!

Valentines Day
V Day is ard the corner and I haven got any plans yet. Again problem lies in $$ so probably will just have a simple one.

Mystery
Why do I name this section a mystery? Cos it really puzzled me! I've not got much msgs in my tagboard and entries comments however the number in my counter is amazing. I login at the nite and saw my counter reading "30" for just that day! Maybe I shld watch out on what I'm typing. haha just kidding... anyway, friends.. if u guys visit my site.. do leave a msg k? It's really getting quite quiet recently but my counter is jumping madly! hahaha...

Okie, tt's about all... take care!

[Fighting with my laptop]

2005-01-30T01:45:00.000+08:00

Has been fighting with my laptop for the past 2 days and will be fighting with it in the next few days.. so wont have the time for a decent update...

Hopefully I can tackle the main problem lies in my laptop.. damn!

format.. format...update... update... scan... scan!!!!!!

[tired]

2005-01-26T19:53:00.000+08:00

I'm so tired.. been cleaning and scrubbing the walls for the whole day... helping out with the spring cleaning...and being a housewife is definitely not an easy task! I bet I will sleep well tonite!

Dear came to my hse yesterday! heehee... he came to accompany me.. helped me formatted my laptop and oso cos I was sick... my tummy ache is getting better now... just that my serving of food for every meal is very very small portion (good way to slim down more!) haha...

My laptop is now as fast as a brand new! Just that the installing of softwares and transferring of files that I've backup is tiring... oh well, I'm tired tt probably answer why I keep on typing that I am tired.. haha...

okie, gonna head back to my readings "Shopaholic & Sister"!

[Tummy is sick AGAIN]

2005-01-24T23:32:00.000+08:00

So sad... the moment I thought my tummy had recovered (ever since the last food poisoning incident) I started eating those food that I have been craving for... and I now suffering from tummy ache again!!! *sigh* It was so painful... and it was during my conversation with dearie on the phone the pain start coming... and I endure but is was unbearable and I told dearie.. he quickly ask me to rest and ate some medicine while he will hang up so that he wont disturb me...

I was in pain and after eating some medicine... I kept calling dearie to talk to him... cos he is the only person that comes to my mind... but dearie was patient and kept on telling jokes to make me feel better. However I suddenly felt sad upon thinking dearie will be flying off to aussie on 20th feb.. leaving me behind this time and I cant conveniently call him on the phone like what I'm always doing. *sigh* 9 months of separation... I hope we can make thru this!

Okie, enough of emotional stuffs...

I watched the "Desperate Housewives" on Channel 5 and I'm addicted to this show... like what scummy mentioned... "Officially a fan of Desperate Housewives"!

[Me]

2005-01-23T20:25:00.000+08:00

I was uploading my photos from my phone when mum commented that I have become chubby! OH NO....

And I immediately stand on the weighing machine and find that instead of putting on weight... I lost 2kg...

*scratch head*

[21st Birthday]

2005-01-22T12:37:00.000+08:00

Will be accompany dear to attend his childhood neighbour's 21st bday... seems like it was juz ytd I was celebrating my 21st Birthday... haha.. and now I've become an old hag waiting for the arrival of my 24th Birthday... nt tt excited anymore.

The thoughts of my younger sister celebrating her 21st Birthday next year really sound scary to me... haha... times really flies... why cant the time juz stop tickling???

[New Layout]

2005-01-21T13:34:00.000+08:00

Change another layout again.. cos I loved designing! haha... Made my layout looks very bitchy!

It's another public holiday again... (seems like everyday is a public holiday for me). Will be going out for dinner with my family... *weee* *slurps* upon thinking abt the good food...

Been addicted to Maple Story seems like a bit crappy but nvm cos I'm so bored....

Haven really been thinking what I want to work as.... *sigh*

[Great Time]

2005-01-17T13:53:00.000+08:00

My granny is healing very fast. Took out the bandage the next day and she could see things very well... but then gonna wait for a few months then she can have the cataract surgery on her left eye. I feel so happy when she could see things clearly with her right eye. *smiles*

Met up with my polymates ytd.. had lunch at Country Mana and followed by ktv session at kBox. It was fun though I dun sing much but then Yibin sang so well... *awwww* He sang songs by Lin Junjie, Jay, Zhang Jing Xuan so well.. tt we want to hear more. Edmund was good too... he can sing Andy Lau's song so well....

And I'm so addicted to Lin Junjie - Jiang Nan cos Yibin sang it so well! *hahaha*

I loved my poly buddies so much... much much better than the previous grp I met up with. Had lotsa fun and we will be meeting again for CNY! *yay*

My latest darlings:

Bought this piggy couple at bugis street. So cute.. wearing the Regalia... one for dear and one for me!

[Granny]

2005-01-13T23:07:00.000+08:00

My granny will be having her Cataract Surgery on her right eye tml. Hope everything will be fine... It's her first operation and 4 months later she will be having it on her left eye. From the doctor, it was mentioned to be a simple operation. Everyone is showing their concern by reminding my granny what she need to do and do not need to do. This shows the bonding of the family when things happen. I will be accompany her to CGH tml for her operation with my aunt and sister.

Seems like I'm always hungry and I'm now craving for food... must be the pre-pms effect... good excuse to put some weight cos I've lost like 3 to 4kg eversince tt food poisoning incident at AJITSEN RAMEN.

Heehee.. I think I will go back to kitchen to search for food again.. *winks*

[Darling still the best!]

2005-01-12T22:44:00.000+08:00

I was whinning in my previous entry on how my darling is neglecting me and taking me for granted. Din noe if he read it or he feeling guilty conscious (cos I was constantly grumbling abt my unhappiness on my journey back home..heehee). And darling made an effort today to come down to tampines to meet me.. though along the way our conversation were very rude but then we still meet up. hehe...

Dear bought a new optical mouse at Challenger cos his old one is spoilt and he couldnt play his favourite Gunbound. We went jalan jalan ard Tampines Mall before we head for lunch and we went into Popular Bookstore and to my surprise dear bought me "Elva's Pilates from the 5th Avenue (with VCD)" Cos I was telling him about my hestitation and he bought me this.. wahahah...

Elva's Pilates from the 5th Avenue

Had Long John Silver for lunch... tt glutton wasnt full after eating his share and walked into KFC and had another zinger meal again!! *tsk tsk* I think it's time to control his diet and ask him to exercise more!

Before we head home, I saw this book at one of the rental bookstore. And they were selling "Shopaholic & Sister" at 15 bucks (cos I saw Kino selling at 22 bucks) and I could choose to return the book within 2 months after reading to get a refund of 9 bucks! Quite worth but guess I'm keeping the book... hehe!

Shopaholic & Sister

I'm so happy today... ermm... seems like I'm so easy to be contented...

[Tired]

2005-01-12T01:17:00.000+08:00

Just came back from dear's hse cos I went over to have dinner...

Dear's flight is confirmed and he is going to fly back to aussie on 20th feb... endure one more year and he will graduate and back in sg for good! Cant wait for that day to happen so that we are start planning the next step of our future!

Argh!!!... Din played X Box the whole day... my fingers and brain started to have some thoughts on tt "black box" haha.. but guess wont be playing since it's so late and I'm tired.. I need a good sleep!

[X Box]

2005-01-10T13:36:00.000+08:00

I wanna thank my generous cousin-in-law (Nigel) for lending me his xbox to play to kill my boredom!! *weee* thanks a lot!!!

I'm so addicted to it now...!

And not to forget,

Happy Birthday, Beng!

[Pre CNY Shopping]

2005-01-08T11:47:00.000+08:00

Had a pre CNY shopping with my mum at Tampines. Normally, mum, sister and me will always go places like orchard, bugis, suntec, marina sq etc etc to buy CNY clothes but we always end up buying nothing and instead we will buy clothes at places like Century Sq or Tampines Mall... so this year we din wan to waste any more time... juz shopped at tampines and buy clothes from there since we always end up buying from there. Mum and sister claimed that they have high taste with the clothes they wear so they are always the 'mafan' ones... I belong to the 'qing chai' category prefer simple and plain and mum always nagged at me for always wearing too plain *argh* And me... always rebuked that I dun have the habit of making an effort to dress nicely cos my darling always dress "qin chai' too and hence me dressing too nicely or formally will cause us walking together looks weird... *bleahz*

When mum asked me if I have any particular clothes to buy this year, I immediately responded and say I wan to buy minis. Mum was alrite with it but sister nagged at me for wearing short skirts etc etc (can u believe it.. she is younger than me and she is nagging twice as much as I do) Of cos I dun heed her advice and continue looking for my minis.. haha! And walked into my mum's favourite shop at Century Square, Forntieer (FNT). They have a few branches at Bugis Junction, Junction 8, Parkway and Plaza Sing but mum always visit the century sq outlet cos they recognise her and will always bring out newest goods to her. I found my minis there and sister had nothing to sae when I tried on the minis. She wanted to try on them too *haha* (yay! I win!) Mum bought a cardigan and a pair of pants, I bought a minis and a pair of jeans, sister bought a minis too. I've no idea why I decided to get that jeans cos the price is equivalent to the price of a Levis 593 though after using my mum's member card I paid oni 90 bucks for that jeans... still feeling a bit heartache but then it's really damn comfy and nice that make me so tempted.

Three of us spent 328 bucks in there and mum got me another member card (cos every 300 purchase will entitled another member discount card). All proudly sponsered by my daddy!! *muacks* to daddy! hahaha...

Okie, enough said will be going to bugis to pray at the temple and will meet my cousin Charlene for dinner... Dinner at Swissotel the place she held her wedding dinner.. cos they have got leftover a table and she is asking me over to have the dinner since I missed it last november! *yay*

[Tummyache]

2005-01-04T14:43:00.000+08:00

Missed dear cos we haven been meeting much during last week and finally met him on sunday (2nd Jan). He had this craving for AJITSEN RAMEN and since it's raining so damn heavy and we were lazy to travel to the outlet at Bugis (cos we still prefer the quality produced by that outlet) so we decided that we should just have it at Tampines Mall for dinner. And guess what?? Both of us suffer from food poisoning after tt... both of us woke up in the middle of the night having severe tummy ache and I smsed him if he was alrite and he wasnt... so now I'm still at home resting. Dear is fine now but my tummy still isnt that well... too oily food will cause my tummy to pain again.. sob sob...

So far life has been good just that mummy was commenting that if I continue rotting at home too long will become "smelly" liao.. haha...

Dear has just confirmed a date for his flight back to brisbane.. it's on 20th Feb night flight.. *sob sob* He's flying off without me this time round... how am I going to survive without him for the next 10 months??

I wanna learn pilates but then $$ is the issue again...*sigh*

[Wedding Dinner]

2005-01-01T23:13:00.000+08:00

Attended the first wedding of the year. My distant cousin got married and her husband is a Navy Major (nt sure if tt's the spelling). They looked so blissful... so envy... 10 years of relationship.. got to know each other in RJC then each separately went to USA and UK to further their studies, came back to SG to serve their bond (cos they were on scholarship) and now finally got married. Which makes me envy of their loyalty towards each other. Being separated from each other for 4 years to complete their studies and still going on well... Not many can do that...

They had the honour of walking down the "Sword Ceremony" which always get to see in the drama serial and it was the first time I saw it real with my own eyes. My cousin is beautiful and they were a perfect match!

Dinner was great and was held at a restaurant at Takashimaya Level 7. Food was good and the atmosphere was perfect! As usual some asked when was my turn. *omg*

Okie enough of said... I almost couldnt find a good set of clothes for the occasion when suddenly I saw my demin dress... erm... nt very suitable for the occasion but then tt was the best I could find... *bleahz*

Me trying to take a pic of myself before setting off for the wedding dinner

This is a fruit ice cream that was given by the groom's mum who specially ordered from Australia and could endure in the heat for an hour before it starts to melt!

[Happy New Year]

2005-01-01T16:40:00.000+08:00

It's 1st Jan... Happy New Year!! Welcome 2005 and goodbye 2004!

Changed a new layout to celebrate the new year! Yes! It's a layout of "Long Vacation" which kinda suit my feeling right now. I'm on a long vacation. *smiles*

Had a very peaceful and quiet New Year Eve... din went for any countdown party. Stay at my home and enjoy the rain and cooling weather!

Will be heading for a wedding dinner later, my distant cousin is getting married... Not sure wat shld I wear and I din particularly went for shopping for something formal so I shld go digging in my cupboard later for something to wear!

Enjoy the day!

p/s: Connie: hope yr mum will recover soon.. *huggies*

[New Year Resolutions]

2004-12-31T13:49:00.000+08:00

My New Year Resolutions:

[1] To find a stable job
My bank account is seriously running very dry and I need to find a job or at least a part time job first to "charge up" my bank account. And daddy is not allowing me to draw out my ERS money... *argh*

If dear were to see this he will definitely laughed his head off.. cos I'm always TONA (Talk Only No Action). But seriously I must do some exercise!

[3] Be a Good GF
Dear will be leaving off soon in mid feb to australia to complete his studies and I've promised him to be a good girl in sg waiting for him to come back

[4] Set my resolutions for 2006 early
I'm always late for setting my resolutions for new year and I promised to do it early next year *winks*

Happy New Year, Everyone!

[Friendship]

2004-12-26T22:24:00.000+08:00

I know it's xmas and I shouldnt be so naggy like an old grandmother whinning or grumbling about my life. But then it's like a matter that has been bothering in my heart for so long that I think I should give a try to pour them all out so that I will feel much better (at least I could sleep well).

It's something called friendship that has been bothering me. Just make a effort to click on my name or link in friendster and I often get feedbacks from friends saying to me "wow, u got so many friends ah?" or "wow, u got so many nice testimonials about you". Okie, I know I might not have many friends compared to some of u guys...I've got like about 200++ contacts in my list but to others this might be a lot. However, in reality do I really have that many friends who will always by my side when I'm down or troubled? I can answered to that question of mine immediately without any hestitation. My answer is "NO". Sad isnt it? I do feel sad at times when I think of it.

I always tell my sister. Whenever ppl feels down or troubled etc etc, I'm always the one who they look for help, for solutions, for talking session etc etc etc I can swear that I've done my part being as a friend and being by my friends' side whenever they need me to listen to them it can be of any form like a phonecall or through messenger (when I'm in australia). I'm always there listening to them, cheering them up. But when comes to my turn, no one is here by my side. They might think that I've got a very nice bf who always listen to me what for I need them around. But friends are always different, they contribute to make a different me. A person cant solely depends on love in life. A person needs a well balanced of love from family, bf/gf and FRIENDS too!

I always tell myself not to be so kind hearted next time but when friends come to me for help again. My heart soften and offer my help to them again. Some cases are so sad. Friends come for my help... after a few weeks of "therapy" from me, they were okie once again for example they found new goals in life etc etc. They TOTALLY IGNORED me. No more time for a chat once a while, no more keeping contact with me, no more phonecalls, no more sms, always "away/busy" mode in messenger, no reply when u msg them or even sound impatient when talking to me when I juz wanna say a hi greeting. And many after 1 or 2 years they will come contacting you again cos they met up with something unhappy or sad AGAIN. It has been going on for years, it's like a cycle keep on repeating and repeating. I feel so tired and betrayed everytime it happens. Sad when I had the thought of "being used" once again. I know I'm very bad using this term but I really do think so.

Okie, I feel much better after pouring everything out. But I must say that I still have wonderful group of close friends who are always by my side. Just that those tt I have mentioned about my unhappiness are majority of them. Thank god I still have the minority with me. You guys know who you are! Thanks for everything! *smiles*

[Merry Xmas]

[Lucky Girl]

2004-12-23T13:35:00.000+08:00

Looking at my wishlist, I've got almost what I wish for and isnt me a lucky girl? heehee!

Xmas is around the corner and I haven got any spare cash to buy my pals xmas gifts.. sob sob... sorry guys! This year xmas will be slightly different from past years. During the past years we will always celebrate on Xmas Eve at my granny hse but this year they are going to postpone it to New Year Day instead cos many ppl went oversea for holiday hence they dun see the point of celebrating when oni minority are able to attend. So my mummy suggested asking my aunties and cousins to my hse for dinner! We will be having steamboat (erm.. sounds weird for xmas celebration) But who cares cos it's my fav! LOL.. I'm really looking forward to it.

Darling has been wonderful lately.. coming to my hse to accompany me when I am bored at home (but din wan to go out cos wanna save $$ to fulfil all my wishes in my wishlist) heehee...

[It has been a week]

2004-12-19T01:36:00.000+08:00

It has been a week back in singapore... everything is great... I've got my family by my side, great food, great enjoyment after 2 years of togging in aussie. But only thing is my darling is nt by my side 24/7 .. sob sob... kinda miss the fun we had everyday in brisbane... darling has been acting like a baby lately.. think he miss me too much tt he asked for more attention for me... will try to be understanding and spend good quality time with him...

Went to East Coast Hawker Centre to have dinner with my family and I brought darling along.. had a very full dinner, my favourite satay bee hoon, grilled chicken wing etc etc.. *yummy* Singapore is great!

Will be having a gathering tomolo with my polymates but sad.. darling cant join us cos he has a wedding dinner to attend... promised him to go home early cos he wasnt around to send me home...

Dear sister had an injury just now.. she accidentally hit her foot against something and her 4th toe on her feet got crooked.. *yucks* and grandpa had to "twist" it back.. poor sister cried her heart out.. it must be very very painful tt I keep sayang her by her side... *sigh* Hope she will recover soon...

p/s: I must start finding job... getting a bit bored after "nothing to do" for the past few days...

[Rotting away]

2004-12-15T10:54:00.000+08:00

I'm so bored and I've got lesser things to whine these days... *yawn* Sleeping at 10pm everyday and waking up at 7am every morning... but I feel good... cos it makes me feel tt I have a long whole day to do my stuffs... my broadband service will start by this evening, I'm so excited and looking forward cos I can start playing my Gunbound! weeee!

[Back in Singapore]

2004-12-12T10:10:00.000+08:00

I'm finally back in sg after so much of anticipation. My day 2 in sg and I'm trying hard to adjust. Things were great, home is so comfy, food is bagus however internet is damn slow (cos I'm still using dialup) and I'm going to sign up for broadband service either today or tml... $$ is a problem to me now... so sad... I dun have a handphone line and I'm now so pathetic using my mum's line temporary... gonna get myself a new line soon... hopefully in a day or two time.

So guys.. help me decide on a phone... my parents allow me to get a new hp as a gift for myself for the completion of my education (however the hp is paid my me.. so shitty.. bleahz)..

Whatever so...

Nokia 7610 or Nokia 6230

Get the good one or the cheaper one??

[Mixed Feelings]

2004-12-09T11:26:00.000+08:00

It's really kinda weird feeling when the eve of ur departure date has arrived. That's basically what I'm feeling right now. Packing everything up and leaving Australia for good. I'm slightly grown used to this country after staying here for 2 year and I started to fear about myself not being able to adapt well to my "home sweet home"... things sure changed, like my sister mentioned the cupboard is now full of her clothes instead of mine, some of the furnitures at my granny's hse has changed, some of the interior design arranged were changed by my artistic mum, orchard road changes, bus's routes changes, think I need to time to adapt and adjust myself to suit the environment, especially the weather! Oh yah and not forgetting that my sister has warned me beforehand not to be shocked to see the amount of things she has and the limited space for me to put my belongings back to the original place... *tsk tsk*

Packing is extremely exhausting especially I had to clear everything and return the house to my on site apartment manager. It's a terribly headache tt cause me sleepless nights. And my baggage is even worst, exploding at any moment and finally decided to send some stuffs in boxes by shipment. Anyway, it's definitely worthwhile considering I will be home very soon. Rite?

[Updates]

2004-12-06T19:01:00.000+08:00

Been updating irregularly, the main reason is tt I have to accompany my family to tour around this boring country (which I claimed to be). At least I could show them how their darling daughter been suffering here for the 2 goddamn years. After showing them around how expensive the asian food etc etc... heehee

Anyway, I feeling very happy... cos I will be heading home in 4 days time. I'm so glad tt though my grades werent tt fantastic but I'm still happy tt I'm able to make thru every semester and able to graduate.. looking forward to my convocation on 16th March 2005 at Singapore Conference Hall. Hope my parents will feel proud for me too. *winks*

Packing is another headache issue tt has been bothering me.. I've got way too much things to bring back home *shrugs* Hope I can squeeze in everything...

4 days more to return to singapore and this time is back for good... I really cant believe it... *I did it! And I'm back to sg for good*

*yeah*

*cheerios* to me once again!

[Doing just fine]

2004-11-27T18:55:00.000+08:00

Finally blogger is up.. having difficulty to post my entry...

Been days since my last update, seems like I'm running out of things to update.. *why why* maybe cos I've finish my exam and I'm too bored... other than busy with packing, packing and more packing. I will be playing games in my laptop or surfing the net aimlessly...

Done with most of the packing and my luggage to Sydney is almost done too..

Feeling excited???

I'm not sure... mixed feelings maybe I juz too tired and vexed abt the packing progress...

Just case I cant update tomolo before my flight (cos vincent will be picking our laptops up to put at his place while we were on holiday tonight.. time: maybe 2 to 3am), take care everyone cos...

I'm finally leaving on the jet plane to Sydney to meet my family and have holidays at Gold Coast too before coming back to my hse... Will be back on 4th Dec...

[Packing Day]

2004-11-21T22:46:00.000+08:00

I finished watching The Champion, the whole is sooo dreamy! *lol* When watching the drama, I practically laughed and smile when the "loved ones" got together, cried when someone died, panicked like hell when they are losing the competition. Darling commented tt "yan xi sa, kan xi dai" means actors are silly but audience watching them are dumb! *pout* I dun believe in this! haha... Anyway, thanks to YG for downloading all these episodes and allowing me to catch up with SG drama when I'm in australia.

Okie, I finally gathered my mood to start packing and I'm done with my notes and threw away 3 bags of stuffs. Still have lotsa other barang barangs things I have to packed, most probably will throw those unwanted ones. Darling commented tt I've too much stuff toys... *bleahz* And I've way too much clothes... *lalala* Mummy told me to throw those clothings which had faded colours after 2 years of wearing them... hopefully I can have lesser things to bring back in this case.

Finished watching Australian Idol, omg! Anthony LOST!!!!!!! *wails loudly* And when they annouced tt the winner is Casey, I hope they can corrected themselves by saying that they gave wrong info.. but no.. the winner is really Casey and I'm so so disappointed cos I loved the way Anthony sang that song especially written for the winner "Listen with your Heart"... and I off the tv when they asked Casey to sang the song... *pout* I'm biased!

Weather start turning cold again... it started raining again and the whole weather changed back but luckily not as cold as during winter days...

[Lazy day]

2004-11-19T13:56:00.000+08:00

Another lazy day again... and my biological clock is getting crazy... sleeping at 5am every morning and wake up 2pm in the afternoon. *lol*

Having a marathon session in watching The Champion and I've completed till episode 15 ... another 5 more episodes to go! *smiles*

List of things to be done

[x] ~~Send sim card to sister~~
[x] ~~Rent a Van~~
[x] Buy boxes
[x] Pack my room
[x] Close bank account

Seeing the list of things to be done *shake my head* ...

[What number do I belong?]

2004-11-18T23:49:00.000+08:00

Okie, I'm bored and I did this quiz.. which really so true cos my lucky number is 7! So what is yours??

You Are the Enthusiast

7

You are outgoing and playful - always seeing the happy side to life.

You're enthusiastic and excitable. You love anything new.

Multi-talented, you do many things well... and find success easy.

You prefer to keep things light with others. Opening up is hard for you.

What number are you?

[Boredom after Exam]

2004-11-18T19:11:00.000+08:00

It's been a day since I took my last paper... *lol* I practically slept so much tt I woke up at 2pm in a daze.. wondering wat is the time now... haha...

Went to toowong to get my sister a prepaid card and sent it back to sg... so that she can use it to contact me when they reached sydney... *smiles*

Seems like I've got lesser things to update after my exams.. maybe there is nothing for me to whine now... and I spent most of my time play Gunbound to relax and watch singapore drama The Champion which YG had downloaded thru BT heehee.. the show was kinda nice but then feels a bit draggy in the middle of the episodes anyway.. many of my friends are drooling abt Fiona Xie's figure... especially when she is wearing her bikini suit...

Argh.. I basically wasted one day and I've got many things need to be done... gonna book a vehicle when my family come back to brisbane from sydney, buy boxes, clear my messy room and start packing!!!!

Ok, I will start doing all these things from tomolo onwards! *DEAL!*

[No more EXAMS]

2004-11-17T16:41:00.000+08:00

I took my last paper of this semester which also means the last paper of my course. Yippy! No more exams for me... which also marks the end of my university life (ok.. I noe I still have to wait for results to be release... *sigh*)

Today's paper was okie.. at least I know how to do most of them which isnt that bad after all.. *smiles*

Awww... I feel so relieved... everything is over and I'm looking forward to my holidays with family and dear!!

okie.. will be going for dim sum with connie and eugene later at Logan for a celebration.. *lol*

p/s: guys at gardens, all the best for yr wireless paper tml!! *jia you*

[Mugging]

2004-11-14T21:09:00.000+08:00

Been mugging for my last paper, not very productive and I hope to achieve more tomorrow.

The guys at gardens are so pitiful, they had 3 papers in a row in the coming week (hey guys, I'm not suaning u all hor.. I really mean it..) Hope u guys will do well for the wireless communication paper and fight through the hell week! It will be over and we will be graduating!!

I'm like loosing my stamina after every paper I took... *tsk tsk* no good... I must really study hard to pass this subject!

rina: I'm glad u like the pressie and the surprise I gave u! *smiles*

[Bon Voyage]

2004-11-13T20:11:00.000+08:00

Was reading my notes on C programming and C++ programming till almost dozed off, thot will be nice to distract my attention by updating my journal.

Had my 3rd paper on thursday, wasnt tt great tt I expected guess I was too concentrate on those tough questions tt I forgotten how to do those simple task *tsk tsk* Anyway, think I will be suppose to pass this unit juz that I couldnt score. It's over and done and I hope will be fine *pray hard*

Accompany Min to university and city today, she will be leaving brissy for good tml and she had to take some shots at the uni cos her dad had asked her too.. *haha* anyway it's a good idea too as these will serve as a memories when back in sg. She wanted to have her "last" shop at the city and I somehow feel some saddness. Well, everyone who came here to study will definitely dread everyday spent here and keep anticipating on the return back to sg after studies, however I asked Min a question today, "will u miss here?" Guess her replied was exactly the same as mine, we agreed that we will miss our home. Our home where we spent our 2 years living in it, and on 10th dec my departure to return to sg, we will be returning our hse back to our apartment manager and will be rented out to others students. Somehow I feel sad to think we are the first tenants of this house and definitely I've treated here as my home a place where I rest after everyday of hardship in uni, cook and eat for my daily meals, played and watch tv everytime when I need a break, cried my heart out when my results sux or I'm feeling homesick, chatted on the phone with my family weekly, etc etc

I always tell my daddy that I dislike here, it's too boring and I'm homesick. BUT when I noe this time I will be leaving brissy for good makes me depress. I'm contridicting, yes! I know but I find that packing up everything and go back to sg is the same feeling as packing up yr belongings to head to a foreign country to study. Just that the later has more saddness than the earlier but this is life. Good things will come to the end and I hope this end will serve as a sweet and nice memories.

Seeing Min packing juz made me realise that 2 years has passed in a blink of eye. It's really easy to pass when you are busy with yr studies and exam. In 4 days time, I will finish my final exam of my last semester. I wish to do my best to pass everything. And in another 15 days time, I will be flying down to Sydney to meet my family (of cos with my dear too). My mummy asked me what will be my first reaction when I see them at the Sydney's Airport and I replied,"I think I will teared with happiness and hug you!" And I actually teared when I replied. Guess this show how much of homesick I'm suffering. *smiles* I really do hope this semester makes a good ending as well as a nice full stop of my days in brissy. I really do!

Min: Bon Voyage, treasure yr days with yr family and enjoy yr trip to USA! Guess we all understand this meaning after spending 2 goddamn years here!

p/s: My results for my Solar Power elective has released. I've got 63% though I'm lack of 2% to attain a credit but I'm glad I passed it! Will be thinking of asking for a review in hope of getting to hit 65%... shld I? or shld I not?

[Nigel & Charlene]

2004-11-11T19:47:00.001+08:00

Today is my cousin's big day...I wish I could attend her wedding...

Happy Marriage and Blissful Forever

[Charlene]

2004-11-09T19:41:00.000+08:00

Shld be studying rite now but I'm still enjoying my "short" break.. juz had my dinner and the weather is sooo cosy so nice for a nap... Mugging at Alfred's hse, quite productive but then still isnt tt well but guess I more or less got hold of the technique of solving the past yr papers questions.. *winks* Will continue working harder!!

Called Charlene (my cousin who is getting married on this coming thursday) last nite and had a very long chat with her and her family.. not forgetting my Nigel (Charlene's hubby!). Nigel had a great time suaning and complaining to me and it was so hilarious... been quite a while since I last chat with them.. and lastly the funniest part of the conversation was Tris (Charlene's sister), this ger really need a kick in the butt cos when I called she was the one who answered the phone and she still continue chatting with me not knowing who I was till she asked:

Tris: "eh.. ask u something hor, who are u har? Xueting or Xueqi?"

I was speechless but nevertheless I still replied,

Me: "XUETING LAH!"

Tris: "OH MY GOD! MUMMY... QUICK QUICK ANSWER THE PHONE...IT'S XUETING, OVERSEA CALL... EXPENSIVE LEH.. QUICK!!"
(She is practically screaming all the way)

*slap forehead*

Anyway, I had a good laughed and at the same time assuring them tt the phonecall isnt tt ex and there is no need to talk so fast and hang up....Everyone is so excited abt the wedding thing and Charlene said, "If only u were here...."

*sigh*

[Australia Idol]

2004-11-08T19:04:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching the verdict of the Australian Idol, I'm soooo sad! Courtney Murphy is out.. omg! He wont be singing at the Sydney Opera House... I wanted Courtney Murphy and Anthony Callea to be the final two contestants for the Grand Final... such a pity...

So the final two contestants will be Anthony Callea and Casey Donovan... I hope Anthony Callea will win!!! *hehehe*

Anthony Callea, he has made so many gers going crazy over him

okie, stop my nonsense and get back to my books for revision! *winks*

[The Sound of Music]

2004-11-06T14:52:00.000+08:00

Watched The Sound of Music on tv last night ... it was indeed a very old film. And it was so long since I last watch it. The songs still ring some memories in my mind when sung and I was like constantly humming along with it. Though I dun realli like the ending part of the story cos it seems too sad to have such an ending for the film but then I still enjoyed myself. Still remember when my sister first saw it on tv, she loved it so much tt she even taped it down for future watching, the tape was spoilt few years back when I moved to my new hse in tampines. Maybe I shld order their DVD from Amazon as a surprise pressie for my sister..*smiles*

[Slacking]

2004-11-05T13:51:00.000+08:00

I've been slacking way too much! Only managed to read thru my notes and did tutorial 1... need to pull up my damn socks and speed up my revision...

Home is full of distraction for me to study things like internet, games, music, tv etc etc....

So decided with jason that will be going down to alfred's hse to study this sunday onwards! *lol*

So fast.. dear has completed two of his papers and have another 3 more to go... as for me... 2 more papers to go and I'm still slacking.. oh no!

Been thinking of the packing of my things after my exam... been a huge headache for me... had to move dear's things to his friend's hse, pack my things back home and not forgetting I had to clear the kitchen and living room! *sigh* Had to complete all these before I head down to sydney to meet up with my family as I bet after my return from sydney I wont have much time to pack as I had to bring them touring around in brisbane...

I juz have the urge to throw everything and I juz go back home empty handed! *muahaha*

ok, I'm crazy and ignore my grammar errors.. getting a bit crappy!

[All Geared Up]

2004-11-03T19:07:00.000+08:00

My current drink tt kept me motivated tonite...

heehee... I'm a Pokka tea fan but then this is the first time I'm trying Apple tea cos my fav Peach tea went out of stock.. *sob sob*

Anyway, I got my notes everything ready and I'm all geared up to start my revision for my 3rd paper on 11th Nov... *jia you jia you*

11th Nov, while I'm cracking my brain and pulling my hair out in the exam room. My family were all busy with my cousin's (Charlene) wedding... sad case I wont be able to attend throughout the ceremony as she is one of my closest cousins. And I kinda feel sad whenever mummy calls me and update about their preparation. Daddy ask me to think postively tt I'm moulding for my future... ok... good try, daddy! But this ain't gonna make me feel better... Mummy sae tt there will be another one of my cousin getting married on 1st Jan and I'm able to attend.. but then it's different story. I'm not tt close to her so u noe the feeling is just so different from attending Charlene's wedding.

Oh well... better stop my whinning... and get mugging in my notes...

take care guys!

[Fresh Again]

2004-11-02T15:59:00.000+08:00

It's another brand new day for me... Had enough of sleep.. feeling so shiok!

Woke up made pancakes for brunch and cleaned my toilet and washed clothes. And surfed a bit of internet... Dint know wat strike me to went over to MOE's site and was hestitating to apply for a teaching post.. not that I'm really that eager to be a teacher but I juz wanna fulfil my childhood ambition. Maybe I will submit my apply when my results are out and juz give it a try and see how it goes. Whether I will be accepted a not is another matter or even being accepted by them, whether to accept the offer a not is also another matter. I juz wanna try and fulfil some little thing tt I promised when I was young.. to make me feel better in the sense that I din let myself down and I worked hard for my future.

I feel so weird today cos I din went to alfred's house to study with them cos I've been doing that for the past few days consectively that I somehow treat there as my second home... *lol* Will had to head there to start studying for my paper on 11th Nov in the meantime I will still continue my relaxing first *heehee*

27 days more to meeting my family in Sydney!

[Good Job]

2004-11-01T19:30:00.000+08:00

Finally another paper is over..

I think I did pretty okie for the paper juz hope that I wont have silly careless mistakes *winks*

Jia you! Still got 2 more papers to go but meanwhile will relax first cos my next paper is on 11th Nov.

*smiles*

[Mugging]

2004-10-30T23:16:00.000+08:00

Been mugging for my exam paper on next Monday... so far revision is fine but then I need more practise. Hence I'm seldom online which is good.. cos the internet at home is distracting me...

Went over to alfred's house to mug with the rest of the guys, quite productive as every question I have doubted in will be solved instantly.. *smiles*

Pray hard for my test... hope everything will be fine... mummy ask me not to panic during exam hall.. will try to do so....

[What a SHOCKED]

2004-10-28T15:56:00.000+08:00

Woke up early today as I love studying early in the day as it's my freshest moment of the day... A habit of mine, checked my school email account before I start my stuffs to see if there is any important matters from uni. And to my shocked I saw my lecturer for my Solar Power unit sent an email out with the message:

"Severe Cases of Plagiarism have been found when marking the tutorials, among certain groups of students. Students involved in this will be graded accordingly. If you wish to challenge my assessment please do so in the formal order.

Your last chance to discuss your tutorial work is Thursday bet 12:30 and 1:30 pm."

Well... I got a shock when I read this and started worrying if my work is affected and I called dave to see if wanna go down to uni to have a look and he agreed so he picked me up 20 mins later...

Reached uni and saw a long queue in front of his office, everyone's face showed an unpleasant feeling to me... I knew something had happened. Asked my friends and they told me tt he was furious by the duplicating of work and wanna see us individually... I panicked but then in order to secure my 20% of tutorial work I had to pull myself up to face him myself. Luckily things were still smoothly for me as my friends commented tt he wasnt tt strict towards gers *winks* heehee... managed to secure 14% out of the 20% for this component...but sad case, my lecturer told me that I din do very well for my exam paper which kinda make me sadden for a while. Ok, I know I wont do well cos it was really tough just pray hard that I could pass.

Another day juz passed and I din studied a thing tt I've planned.. *sigh* gonna start doing something productive after updating this entry...

p/s: still trying hard to overcome my shock!

Chatted with mommy on the phone at nite, guess this is the only thing that makes my day end in a nice way...

2004-10-21T22:03:00.000+08:00

My motivation of the day:

Been drinking this the whole nite, it's definitely a pleasure drinking Pokka drink ... muahahah.. okie I finally decided to buy 2 bottles of Pokka Peach Tea (my fav) from yuens last saturday.. and it cost me AUD$1.55 for 250ml...(note: the one in the pic is 1.5L) when I go back sg I will definitely buy 1.5L bottle of Pokka peach and green tea and slowly enjoy it...wahah.. but right now it's just sooo bad tt after 8 months of 'suffering' I had to buy it to ease my 'thirst' whaha.. ok I'm exaggerating... *winks*

Been mugging on for my solar exam on next monday.. damn tedious.. so many theories to study... anyway just hope to get it over and done and I will left with 3 more papers to go... *wish me luck*

2004-10-18T21:54:00.000+08:00

It's Monday again... it's week 13 of my semester and I should say this is the last week of my semester... should I be happy or sad? I'm happy that everything is over and I can start mugging for my exams and hopefully graduate successfully but sad is that for the past weeks have been spending too much time on assignments and thesis tt most of us din attend our 'last' lecture in uni and it's something I will miss when I'm back sg.. no more timeout break, no more craps talking during lecture, no more chipping in $$ tt we have in our pocket juzt to buy a few packets of tibits from the vending machine to eat (cos they are damn ex!).. sob sob... I'm so sad now upon thinking...

Celebrated vincent's bday last saturday had a pot luck session, the food was great... very spicy and nice, the chicken curry was authenic! yummy yummy! Seeing his classmates ard juz make me miss my classmates... anyway.. "happy bday, vin! may yr wish come true!"

It's has been raining for the past 2 days... sooo cold.. I'm shivering in coldness either at uni or at home... aussie's weather is so weird.. last week can be so hot tt it reach 35 degree and now this week has been raining cats and dogs with temperature of as low as 10 degree! *shake head*

Chatted with gillian on msn just now.. soo happy.. she told me tt I could join her bulk purchase if I wanna order stuffs from Abercrombie ... *weee* tt's so great! Was surfing ard the website for stuffs and she gave me some pointers in choosing good material for my tees! thanks ger! *winks*

My first exam will be on next monday... it's my Solar Power subject... hope everything will turns well! *praying hard*

Anyway, I've decided to annouce my blogspot as my public blog.. so if u guys managed to come to my page thru friendster or other means do leave a msg in my taggy k? *winks*

[Finally DONE]

2004-10-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

I'm finally done with my

THESIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm... so happy and relieved....

[Thesis]

2004-10-13T14:00:00.000+08:00

I'm the mist of writing my Final Year Project Thesis that will be dued this coming friday... it's almost 50% done and I'm now gathering all my simulations and hopefully will do a final touch up tonight on my Introduction and Conclusion... it's really tiring when everyday is stuck at home practically getting this done... but then once this is over.. I will definitely feel very relieved...

I'm getting tired when doing my Matlab simulations when I decided to "drop by" at my blog for a quick update... at least I could divert my attention to something else for a moment.. it's pretty amazing tt when comes to writing an entry I could update in juz a few mins but then when comes to writing my thesis.. I took a whole damn long time to rephrase those technical terms together.. cos I need to sound very "engineering" ... *bleah*

My family has been so excited abt the end year trip... I will meet my parents at Sydney for a few days then come back to Gold Coast and Brisbane... I'm excited but then I cant express them out cos I'm really really very stress... but then I guess I should note them down now so tt I could treat this as my motivation towards my goal... After this hell week, I will be going into my exam period then after tt will be HOLIDAYS + FLYING BACK TO SG and not forgetting my CONVOCATION if I'm able to make it thru this sem! *praying hard* My poly buddies keep telling me tt they wanna come to my convocation cos they wanna feel proud for me... I'm really overwhelmed by the support they have been giving me throughout these 2 years... it's really nice and sweet when u are in a damn stress or down period of time where all of yr buddies have the 'six sense' and keep sending u emails to encourage u, giving u support,asking u not to give up and giving u the "you can do it!" chant! I really appreciate all these supports and POLY BUDDIES: you guys noe who u are and I'm definitely blessed to have know u guys!!!

My Holiday Planning:

[29th Nov 04] 5am flight to Sydney to meet my parents
(under sg tour package)

[ 1st Dec 04] Fly back to Brisbane and head down to Gold Coast
(under sg tour package)

[ 4th Dec 04] Back to my brissy home
(free and easy)

[ 8/9 Dec 04] Not confirm when my parents will be flying back to sg

[10th Dec 04] HOME SWEET HOME (I will be taking my flight back to sg)

p/s: this really helps as I feel happier and less stressful after listing all these down.. and not forgetting my face reveal a wide smile... *winks*

[Happy Birthday, Esplanade]

2004-10-11T13:44:00.000+08:00

Saw this entry from a livejournal friend of mine... sad to say it speaks the truth...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ESPLANADE
12.9.04
BY David Chew

plus point - commentary

TWO years ago on this very day, there were fireworks, grand performances and lots of razzle-dazzle to herald the opening of a certain arts centre near Raffles City.

Today, on the day of its second anniversary, all will be quiet at the Esplanade.

Most of the arts lovers Today spoke to yesterday, in fact, didn't even know it was the Esplanade's birthday.

Or that the celebrations are all over.

On the first two weekends of the month, the Esplanade held OctoBURST to mark the occasion. But the description in the Esplanade diary and on its website reads: "Two weekends bursting with fun, energy and excitement, something for everyone this October".

The words "birthday" and "anniversary" are nowhere to be found.

And apart from a Bushmen performance Hip Hop for All! and The Rolling Good Times Show, OctoBURST's activities were almost exclusively targeted at children.

It's a great change from the opening two years ago.

The Singapore Dance Theatre's Reminiscing the Moon was the opening night performance.

There were fireworks. A three-week long festival, with 600 free events for the public, followed.

The low-key celebrations this year might be wiser, considering that the Esplanade is not raking in the money.

CEO Benson Puah noted at September's announcement of the centre's last financial year report that it has managed to do more with less manpower. Frugal celebrations would therefore seem only fitting.

The Esplanade is also trying to reach out to more Singaporeans through more accessible, mainstream events.

Reminiscing the Moon, in contrast, was considered too avant garde by many who attended the opening bash.

Still, it's a birthday worth celebrating. Today is a day worth noting.

Maybe I'll buy a cake and two candles and make my way down to the Esplanade this evening. You're all welcome to join me."

[Seminar]

2004-10-09T23:53:00.000+08:00

Say me superstitious.. I dun care.. cos I went to change the battery of my lucky watch... actualli din wanna change it here cos it's so ex.. but then I think too much to the extent tt I feel ever since I din wear my lucky watch I have been down in my luck tt I couldnt stand it.. pay a good $10 to change it! haha.. it wasnt tt ex afterall...at least I can have my luck back... seminars and exam are ard the corner and I cant just let my lady luck slip off... *winks*

While waiting for my watch to be ready (cos the person went for lunch), I shopped ard at Toowong Village.. and I saw this little piggy pluffies in one of the shop (its from TY Collection) .. it's so cute tt I cant bear to leave my hand of it... it has such nice furs to touch too.. so as expected.. I bought it... since I'm such a piggy (when comes to sleeping and eating so much).. this is definitely something tt sooo suit me... hahaha...this is my little piggy... piggy piggy piggy... *smiles*

[Solar Field Trip]

2004-10-01T20:28:00.000+08:00

Yes.. I went for my Solar Field Trip at Carseldine... I almost couldnt wake up but then cos I was kinda "excited" abt the trip (due to the bonus 2% given in the overall percentage) I dragged myself out of bed at 8.30am and took the 9.21am train to city cos I'm meeting those guys at Unilodge.... the meeting pt was at William Street and while waiting for my professor to come we were joking ard and our discussion was mainly to guess if the chartered bus was air conditioned a not.. hahaha... okie tt was crap but then it definitely brighten up my mood and at least I feel much awake...

The chartered bus came (btw it was air conditioned) and so do my professor...and the trip to our destination took abt an hour... the journey was a hilarious one with Kent and Dave around... will not elaborate further but then those who know them will definitely know their humorous conversations technique... we laughed so loud tt my professor was interested in their conversation but then too bad.. he couldnt understand hokkien.. so... *lol*

Spent abt 2 hrs at the site... it was BLOODY HOT!!!! Jus imagine if u were to setup a solar power plant, u will definitely choose a location where it has the most sunlight obtained plus a place where it has less rain rite.. *snap fingers* understand now?? It was so hot and we had to stand under the sun for an hour listening to the overall person in charge to brief us abt it's operation etc etc after tt was another half an hour of site tour and the followed by half an hour of "hill climbling".We had to climb an upslope to see the how gas was pumped through underground to the generator.. oh man.. luckily it was windy at the top .. It has a wonderful view from the top when u look across and tt's one thing u wont get to see it in singapore...

After the 2 hours of massive "sun-tanning", we left the place and we were so thirsty... I finished my bottle of water and I'm still craving for more...*sigh* I was so drained tt I dun have the mood to have my lunch.... wanted to check my results for my mid sem test (which was just released ytd).. but then the guys din wan to cos they were afraid tt they will fail and spoilt the whole weekend... I so want to check my results but then I followed them since I din wan to be the 'odd' one insisting tt I wan to check my results... But then when I reached Myer Centre to see the next timing for my bus... *dang* I'm confused... I wanted to know if I passed my test.. cos it was a tough paper... so I decided... I went back to uni... *lol* Felt so much better after checking my results and even better when I know I passed!!

I'm feeling so hot now... it's like the heat burning in under my skin ... Oh no... I think I'm suffering from minor sunburnt...I've got red coloured arms, cheeks and nose!!! Thanks to Connie cos she lent me her Aloe Vera Gel to apply... and it definitely makes my skin feel better... btw I took a cold bath to cool myself down... It's my first cold bath in aussie cos I always prefer hot bath to cold bath.. but then see how serious it was... my skin now is in red colour *sob sob* bet I will become tanned for a while... okie shall be the healthy and tanned Tingting for the moment... *muahahah*

Okie.. I need to motivate myself... I need to finished my simulations and seminar slides by this weekend... *jia you*

Shall wait for mommy's call now... cos she told me ytd tt she will be calling today again.. *smiles*

*enjoy yr weekend*

[Freaked Out]

2004-09-30T21:32:00.000+08:00

I'm totally freaked out when I realised tt my final year project report has to be handed in just 2.5 weeks times... and I quickly do up a brief of my abstract and introduction and I fall asleep after tt... *tsk tsk* so many things to do and I think I better start everything bit by bit if not I'm going to suffer the week in hell!!

Rina shld be on her way back to sg liaoz.. kinda envy her.. why my course has to be 2 yrs? Why cant it be shorter?? I'm homesick and super duper stressed by the load here.... anyway Rina.. enjoy yrself k?

Wanted to do up somemore of my report but then guessed my energy is used up liaoz... gonna hit my sack soon... and I've got a field trip tml at 10.30am... so guess I must not sleep late cos I'm meeting the guys 10am at unilodge's lobby to walk over to the meeting point...

I'm sooooo stress... going crazy soon....

[Another day in Uni]

2004-09-29T21:42:00.000+08:00

It's Wednesday and another day spent in uni again... wasnt tt productive but then still not so bad afterall. Des got the poster done halfway and shld be completed by tml and I'm in the process of doing up the powerpoint slides for the seminar... but then good thing was tt I managed to troubleshoot my multiplier for my circuit after my dinner... actualli I was soooo tired to do anything but then I was quite panic when in the day, I saw Des doing the simulations today din work.. hence I decided to give it some thots and try again..after meddling with it for about an hour, it managed to work wat I've expected.. feel so happy but then still need lots of work to be done... but well... I tried my best...

All I can do rite now is to complain how tired I am... *sob sob* and was wondering why mommy din call me yesterday nite... sms and email my sister she oso no respond.. they must have forgotten me... *sob sob* Anyway.. I'm on saving budget and my calling card is almost $0 liaoz... sigh... shall wait for them to call me then...

Better have a good rest today cos I'm heading to uni tomolo again... and I need lotsa rest... always feel so sleepy... Des recommend me to take the 'V' energy drink to boost my alertness ... was wondering if those stuffs will be addictive... oh yah.. and he also mentioned tt drinking honey can cure insomnia cos tt's wat he did... hmmm ... maybe u guys can drink drink a cup of honey before yr bedtime to try...

[Stop slacking]

2004-09-28T21:08:00.000+08:00

I seriously need to get on my butt again and start everything tt has been piling all along instead of sitting on it complaining...

Meeting des tml to work on our seminar powerpoint slides.. I do hope it will be a good one and we target ourselves completing everything in 2 days time... *smiles*

Though today is my rest day but then I did some work for my assignment...
[x] wrote out the averaging filter code for project
[x] finished designing the documentation template
[x] sent them out to group members for postive suggestions

Had a good 12 hours of sleep last nite and I feel damn good now... dear was telling me tt he suspect tt I was overtired and overworked these days tt I wasnt in good state of health last nite and oso partly due to my pms too.. Anyway, I'm glad everything is over and I'm feeling better now...

Dear is now at Awyong's hse consulting him abt the PIC Chip programming.. poor him.. had a long day and still had to slog thru the nite... and he was so tired tt before Quentin was here to pick him up he thought of juz resting on the bed... and just in a *snap of fingers* he start snoring ... u can imagine how tired he was... *tsk tsk*

Kinda weird of him nt ard nw.. cos normally I could either hear the background music of Gunbound (cos he loved to play GB nite) now or he will be now pestering me to play Gunbound with him... oh well.. cant imagine life will be back to normal in sg... guess gonna take sometime to adjust myself back... no more "arguments", no more "grumblings" etc etc everyday!! *lol*

[I wonder...]

2004-09-27T21:02:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wonder why on earth did I made the decision to quit my 2k monthly salary job to come here and suffer this 2 years will all these shits?? I've no more stamina tt I used to have during my poly days anymore.. *sigh* But then looking at the positive side it will be a better future for me if I were to get this degree cert.. oh well..

[Everyday is SUNDAY]

2004-09-26T20:01:00.000+08:00

Gladys sent me an email this morning.. weee.. so happy.. she received my pressie for her.. and she is so thrilled to recieve the handbag from me cos she is looking for a new handbag for work too.. and *tada* I've got one for her and it's the kind she is looking for *lala* so clever me.. but then she claimed tt we've telepathy knowing wat opposite party wants in mind... haha.. if tt's the case then all thanks to my 6th sense man...

Dearie sister has been reacting weird.. not sure wat's the problem cos in her entry she has been wanting me to be by her side and her long phonecalls with me makes me really worry for her.. but then since she doesnt want to voice her problems and claimed tt only toking to me makes her feel better then I'm glad to be always there for her when she needs me most...*hugz*

[Being an asian in Brissy]

2004-09-23T15:07:00.000+08:00

I was on my way to school today when I out of the blue started thinking about my close to 2 years life here in aussie... I've so many negatives thing to sae abt this place like low standard of asian food, not much variety of asian groceries products, discrimination, boring place where all shops are closed at 5pm, need to do laundries and cooking, homesick...etc etc... I was telling myself is tt all?? No more good stuffs abt this place?? Ok, let me try to list them all down...

Being a student in aussie
[1] Nice fabulous weather
[2] Got to experience 4 seasons change of weather
[3] Freedom! *yesh* I can go anywhere and do whatever I want!
[4] Fun! Cos we can go down to gold coast, harbour town etc etc
[5] Independent..
[6] No naggings from mommy tt u must do this and do tt....
[7] Wonderful friends who are here...
[8] Wonderful classmates who always lighten up my days in school

Best part of being an asian in Brisbane
[1] Never got to encounter those promotion or surveys
This is really true I can swear.. not sure if anyone notice this but then I do.. for all the time of my life in here in brissy I never got to encounter any promotion girl or guy at the roadside getting to stop me down to explain their stuffs to me neither do I need to stopped to do them a favour by filling out one of the survey forms they had in their hands like I need to along Orchard Road... They wont approach asian unless the person is an asian then it's different story...

[2] Get to have spacious seat either in train or in bus
Okie.. I've told this to so many ppl... maybe in bus not so obvious cos it's easy to fill up the whole bus but then one thing for sure is tt no one will sit beside u unless all the other seats are taken up... this happen in the train too... they will always sit by their own colour skin ppl unless there is really no seats left... sometimes it's even annoying tt there is only a seat left beside me and everyone prefer standing than sitting beside me... and most of the time those ppl who sat beside me in train or in bus are asians too...

Anyway.. I'm not sure if other states of aussie is reacting of this way cos I asked some of my friends and they sae not really.. maybe it's really true tt queensland is well know to be discrimination... well... last time I do thought tt I'm like an alien in the group but then now I simply dun bother cos I'm too used to it and I treat tt it's a bonus and good thing of recieving this treatment...

Nah.. I'm not here trying to condemn anything or start my whinnings but then it's juz my thoughts for the day where I thought it will be interesting to pen it down for my further readings...

*smiles*

[Revamp]

2004-09-22T20:34:00.000+08:00

Finally, I'm done.. heehee *tada*... My new layout for my very own blog... I did every single thing of the artwork here and I'm quite satisfied after doing for like abt 3 layouts.. the previous 2 layouts was either too blur or too large in scale and had to redo to get the size correctly.. hmm... how was it? my first try of my own blogskin in blogger... *weee* As many of my friends who followed me all along will realise tt this layout is kinda similar to my style of designing my previous blogsite (nah.. dun bother to click on the link.. tt bugger had disappear causing me to lost my site juz like tt.. so it's officially gone)...

So things arent tt bad after all cos I get to design my own template and no need to worry for any credits tt I need to state in my blog... this is so me!! Simplicity is my favourite hence I kept my design as clean as possible...

Went to school today for our solar discussion.. had to so much things but then I'm glad tt it will be going to end soon as our submission date is drawing near...

okie dokie.. better go bathing and start on my work...

*ciaos*

[Awake at 2am]

2004-09-21T01:13:00.000+08:00

It's 3.19am aussie time and I'm still very awake for the reason that I went to sleep at 10pm waking up at 2am... sigh.. mommy called and I was asleep and she din called back anymore.. *sob sob* okie I noe u guys will sae "u juz call back lorx" but then I dun have $$ in my calling card liaoz.. guess gonna wait till tml then she will call again...*sigh*

Watched some clips of Singapore Idols and I guess I couldnt compare them with American Idols and Australian Idols... the standards are just so different.. and I simply keep yawning when watching.. okie I sound very bad but then do understand me at the point tt I am so used to American and Australian Idol standard nw .. hah.. anyway think I'm toking crap now...

Wondering if Gladys received my bday pressie for her... *hmmmmm*

[Brand New Week]

2004-09-20T01:50:00.000+08:00

Haven been updating much cos me and dear have been playing Gunbound too much! haha... the game is way too addictive! *lol*

Been raining lately these days and of cos it's so cold when it rained... human beings are realli hard to please cos when the weather is hot everyone is grumbling and during winter when it's cold everyone start complaining too...

My stuffs are really piling up and my Gunbound fantasy must cut down.. *lol*

Sister's Bday

2004-09-06T23:45:00.000+08:00

So sickening...I'm in so good mood today and someone juz spoilt my entire mood for the day!! I'm just confused and asking him how things are done and he gave me a reply of "What is the need of us here doing this project if any dumass could just click click click to generate the programming for the filter?" SO RUDE! Luckily, I've got Des here helping me to solve the problems... Listen there, "u will get your deserving punishment for being so cocky!" I'm really pissed to core!

Okie, better stop here before more crude statements coming out from my mouth!...

Oh yah!

Happy 19th Birthday, dearie sister!

I went to school today earlier cos I wanna print out my research on my solar cell thesis...and guess wat?? When I reached city, it was crowded with ppl... I was wondering how come there were so many ppl around and it jammed up the whole of Queen Street Mall, but with no choice given to me I had to try squeezing thru those crowd of ppl cos tt's the only route I can get to my uni... To my surprise, they were having the celebrations at the Queen Street Mall... celebrate the aussie winnings in olympics!!! Due to the fact tt most of the winners were Queenslander, hence they decided to hold one celebration here!! OMG.... took some shots but were unclear cos there were full of ppl!!!

Okie, as expected I was late for lecture cos the whole celebrations caused major traffic jams in the city and I had friends caught in the traffic for an hour...

Had a long day in school ... and I'm looking forward to dinner cos we were going to "Makan House" at Westend (Boundary Street)!! My friend recommended tt we shld try cos they were selling authentic asian food...like mee siam, mee rebus, laksa, hor fun, mee goreng, friend kway tiao, beef rendang etc etc omg.. I felt hungry again when typing these.. hahaha... Anyway the food was good.. at least some standard asian food I've eaten in Brisbane... *smiles*

Oh yah.. and before I end this entry... I've bought a hobo bag from "Just Jeans"... it's in my fav pinkie colour...been waiting for the stock to come in for a while... *smiles* Since, I'm putting up photos so I juz took photos of my new bag to upload it too...

p/s: please click on the thumbnails for larger resolutions.. *smiles*

Blue Monday???

2004-08-30T22:00:00.000+08:00

Weekend passed so quickly and 'hated' Monday is here again... another blue monday for me? Well, my monday was kinda ok just tt I couldnt wake up in time... *lol* My classmates will be thinking it's normal cos everyday they will be seeing me walking into the lecture theatre late and saying the same old verse "haha.. paisei.. cannot wake up again" if not will be dozing off during lectures... not tt I stayed up late to study but then I juz couldnt sleep early every night therefore my only entertainment will be either Gunbound or watching downloaded Jacky's variety shows...

Anyway, I almost wanted to give up and continue sleeping not to forget skip the lectures but then I couldnt do tt cos I had to meet up with my fyp supervisor at 12.30nn and assignment to hand up by 5pm which I've got like a few more questions to double confirm with them hence I need to go uni today.... sianz!

Met up with my fyp supervisor and I was like asking him of how it shld be programmed using address bars and his answer to me is "I also dunno..." and I was thinking "what the hell???" a lecturer dunno anything abt the programming language and expect us to experiment for him and teach him!... *argh* At the end, he gave us alternative ways to do and we decided to head into HC11 program... hopefully we can get it done asap!....

I need I seriously need to sleep early cos I'm so tired now after sleeping late and waking up early... but before tt.. it's Gunbound time! *yay*

Lazy Sunday

2004-08-29T14:36:00.000+08:00

It's another lazy sunday again... so fast and I'm into week 7 of my semester but then guess all my classmates are having the same problem with me and tt's our FYP... all of us couldnt get the result expected and praying hard tt we wont fail our project module... *sigh*

Went to watch the River Festival Fireworks, it was GOOD but sad case we din get the good spot cos it was drizzling and plus we were quite late. Guess the performance was kinda similar with last yr at least I got to experience it so not too bad after all. Decided to head down to Hawken to tabao our dinner home cos dear was craving for the Fried Chicken Wings in Chilli Salt... haha but when we reached there it was CLOSED... omg.. thought we had our dinner before during a saturday night, still puzzling why it was closed and our conclusion was tt the auntie went to watch the fireworks too... *lol* Luckily another bus arrived and we took it back to Toowong and changed another bus home, before we head home, we went to buy KFC for dinner cos dear was commenting tt since he cant eat his fried chicken wings, he wanna use KFC as replacement.. haha... weird logic but anyway the trip was hilarious and I was kinda full after all the laughters!

Slept at 5.30am and woke up at 2pm... so cosy under my blanket tt I din wan to wake up. Cos only when sleeping I could have my freedom, having my sweet dreams, thinking of my year end sydney trip with my family, my convocation (if I'm able to pass) etc etc but when I woke up my worries just come to me immediately.... FYP sucks!

Mum told me not to think so much abt the year end holidays and start studying hard so as not to distract me but I cant! It's started to distract me already! But will try to control myself... I wanna have my convocation next year... must work towards tt... left 3 more months to go!!!

*winks*

Brand New Start

2004-08-28T22:45:00.000+08:00

Eversince my blogsite is down, I've been moving ard in the blog virtual world... from livejournal to xanga and now finally to blogger. Was kinda trying out everything to see which is the most suitable for me .

Sorry guys for the changing of my site recently... *paisei*

Done with my new layout, kinda pleased with this layout... got it from blogskins and edited with my own style and picture... hope it's nice~!

Okie finally done with this... I'm outta here, gonna bath and watch "Guess Guess Guess" tt I've got from YG...
