Done with Melb!

It has been a long time since I last blogged during my exams. And the 1st thing to announce is that my last exam in my whole uni life is over!! Officially! Yeah!! Double yeah! Triple Yeah!! Heez.. Once it was over, we were literally partying. Yummy food! Great shopping! Fun hanging out with the girls! Yeah~~ Heez.. I also moved to Hong's place on a saturday(23/6) all by myself, so proud~ Haha.. Coz I got the whole hse to myself!! heez.. In the morning, I also went to Vic Mart with Cheryl & Eric to do some grocery shopping(I was the super lightbulb!!heh).. Coz my dear dear was coming on the next day!! Looking forward to that sunday!

And TAA DAA~ Sunday 24 June was here! My dear came over together with his sister(Sandra) & her friend (Suyi).. Lucky for them & me, his cousin (Vic) went to pick them up and drove them to my place.. Haha.. But it was 6 plus in the morning! And guess what, I was all ready to go back to bed but they were too energetic.. So we went for breakfast! at Cafe Notturno!! I didn't know they are open 24hrs.. Funny~ I only cared abt their cakes.. Anyway we had bacon & eggs with toast coz my dear love this kind of brekkie.. After that, we headed to Camberwell Rotary Mkt.. Haha.. They obviously didn't enjoy the freezer cold (same as me), coz we were done with walking ard within one hr.. Haha.. Nvm.. Next stop is city and booking of their day tours.. Sandra and Suyi had a hard time choosing the trips coz all were gd but no time.. My dear wanted only the Great Ocean Rd, lucky him, I can help him book at student price.. Haha.. =P Next stop is Smith st! I think all of them were quite tired by then coz they couldn't concentrate on the good buys but they promised they will be back! Haha.. Their 1st dinner in Melb was Shanghai Dumpling.. It was so bad! One of the worst times I had.. Goodness.. But I guess they sort of liked it coz it was their 1st time trying.. But the next stop is real good!! KOKO BLACK at Lygon st.. Yummy.. Ice Chocolate thumbs up! Ice Mocha thumbs up! Chocolate platter double thumbs up! Everything was so so yummy! Happiness.. By midnight is Rest for the day...

25 June 2007
Monday morning was sure fast-tracking coz they gotta wake up early for Great Ocean Rd.. Heez.. All I did was prepare their breakfast & lunch boxes.. Den at 7.30am, off they went & me back in bed.. Zzzing* But I still did stuff in the day.. I baked bread & butter pudding. I cleaned up the house. I surfed the net. I watched shows. Den at 8 pm, I made my way to Swanston st/Bourke St to pick them up.. And had dinner at Mekong.. Yummy too!! And Sandra can eat up a cow!! Hahha.. I think they were too hungry after the trip.. Suyi was terribly shocked by her dried rice noodles coz the bowl was super big.. But amazingly, she still managed to finished up 3/4 of it.. Bu Jian Dan!! hahaha.. Really envy skinny girls.. Eat all they want and still like tt.. Haiz! After dinner is always dessert! At Brunetti!! Yummy..

26 June 2007
Tuesday was lazy but all of us had to wake up early.. Coz they wanted to prepare themselves for shopping wars!! haha.. First stop and the only stop, we went back to Smith st.. And we spent almost the whole day there.. Scary.. Coz we spent alot of time in a single stop.. Before we knew it, it is 5pm.. when all the shops closed for the day.. So we headed back into the city to shop ard shortly before we went home to leave the stuff.. Den we went for dinner at lygon st!! Again.. Haha.. 3rd time in a row at lygon.. I brought them to Papa Gino's for yummy pizza & pasta.. Den we headed for the highlight - Freddo gelati.. Yummy! the only shop in Melb and the best! Happiness.. But i think the rest enjoyed it too.. Previously my dear missed out tt shop and now he is back.. heez..

27 June 2007
We woke up at 4.30am!! Coz it was our ski day at Mt Buller.. So excited.. While reaching there, we went crazy coz it was our 1st time to see snowing & snow-filled surrounding.. heez!! Happiness.. It took us abt 3hrs plus before we reached the summit of Mt Buller where the village is.. We were freezing cold by then.. My dear & I headed to get our ski gear while the girls waited for the sightseeing.. I swear that my current weight is the heaviest I am gonna be.. Coz for the 1st time in life, with the ski gear, I felt so so so so damn heavy.. I really gonna lose wt when I am back in Singapore.. People, pls motivate me.. Heez.. I want my 45kg back!! (which was 10 yrs ago!) hahaha.. Soon, bad weather arrived.. it was so so bad.. We were learning how to ski and facing this kind of bad weather hinders our learning.. It was a heavy snowstorm!! Scary.. I got the feeling of being blown away when the wind hit me repeatedly.. Den after the lesson, my dear & I were too frozen to continue skiing and decided to head down by walking.. we tot was safer... Wrong Choice!!!! the stuff were too heavy for me to carry esp with the bad weather!! And i got the feeling of dying.. Terrible 1st ski experience.. Luckily I got my dear around.. If not I will be "Dead"!! Seriously.. I was badly froze-bitten.. And shivering all over.. Had a bad mood too!! Haiz.. No choice.. I juz hate the cold.. Luckily the hot chocolate & pancakes helped a little before my mood worsen.. But seriously, i didnt want to do anything by then and all I wanted was home.

To be continued.......

Following on previously..

28 June 2007
It was a thursday morning.. Lazy one.. All of us were so so so dead tired after wed's ski trip at Mt Buller.. So we woke up late.. But not too late coz the girls had to go for their Philip Island trip to see penguins.. Cuties!! Heez.. I love seeing the penguins, which I did, last yr! heez.. with my dear.. Freezing in the cold.. While they were out, we went shopping.. I think we did.. Maybe we walked ard and window-shopped.. Haha.. Coz I remembered our next stop to be Crown Casino~ Well, I was not the one gambling.. My dear did & he won!! Yeah~ Anyway, casino has nv been my thing.. heez.. But I always get to enjoy the winnings somehow.. After tt, we headed off to La Porchetta for dinner.. Heez..

29 June 2007
This day was a BIG DAY! Coz it was late night shopping day!! And the girls sure wake up early for shopping war.. while my dear juz love to laze in bed till all of us are 3/4 ready.. hahaha.. Anyway, we started our day heading off to Camberwell to have Sofias with my Melb gals before heading off to Bridge Rd.. A girl's shopping paradise.. heez.. Sure enough, we spent the whole afternoon there.. Which was "WOW!! Cheap cheap cheap!!" for all of us (the girls only)! I got my bags at 2 for $20!! Heez.. Within a day, I got 3 new bags.. Coz the Melb girls gave me a bag for my bdae in the morning.. Vic picked us up at Bridge Rd and the next stop is Chadstone.. Not CHAD STONE! It's pronounced as chad-ston.. hahaha.. Chadstone is a Mega shopping centre.. More like a mini City in one location.. I didn't buy much.. But they sure did.. Alot of Jay-jay tees and Cotton On tops.. Haha.. tt's all i remembered.. Dinner was my dear's favourite.. Hills' BBQ at Boxhill.. been a year since I went there.. Seriously, the last time was when my dear came during last easter.. All of us had a hearty meal coz after tt, we went to Kmart & Coles to burn it off.. Heez..

30 June 2007
Saturday mornings are good for slacking.. Heez.. But.. While the girls went for their grampian trip.. We didn't really waste time at home.. we went to city for some shopping as well.. Esp Adidas where we spent almost 1.5 hrs there.. Well, my dear sure supported adidas quite alot tt day.. Coz Vic & Pris met up with us, we headed to Chapel St and the first shop we went into was adidas too.. hahaha.. Anyway, it was juz a casual window-shopping at Chapel st.. Coz most of the stuff, I couldn't really afford it.. Soon after, we gotta get back home coz both girls were on the way back.. We had a quick dinner at home, den we headed off to Crown again.. this time, we met with sickening rain and slow-coming tram so everything was a little on the down side.. But at least, the girls had fun at casino, coz they looked so amazed with the machines and games..

1 July 2007
Sunday! Last day for some serious time in Melb.. Our 1st stop was to the city again, before we head off to Doncaster for Yum Cha.. Heez.. Den we went to St Kilda beach to see a little of the market & yummy desserts only.. Coz all of us were too full for more desserts.. But we settled for a little of gelati.. 7 apples is officially closed for winter from 2 Jul - end of Aug.. so lucky of me to catch the last taste of it! heez.. Oh ya, this is the day I caught beautiful sights of rainbow with my dear.. Happiness.. Love it~ Den we took crazy pics on the cold cold beach.. Caught a little of sunset too.. After tt, we went to safeway and finally on our way back to the city.. Finally, ppl started feeling hungry.. So their last dinner in Melb was ta-da~ Pancake Parlour.. heez..

2 July 2007
Fun is nv ending in Melb.. Even though it was their last day here.. and the flight would leave at 3 plus.. We still went to DFO spencer!!! Early in the morning 9.30am!! Goodness.. this is the earliest I can get for a shopping spree.. Everything was juz so last min.. Even the lunch was a quick one.. And at the all-time fav of peri-peri world, Nandos!! Hahaha.. After tt, it was time to say sayonnara to my dear and the girls.. Well, it was a fun start for the holiz for me.. But I want to be back home soon....... real soon....

Lost in the present. Found in the past. Search for the future.

Why is time passing so slow for my last 2 papers?? It is such a torture.. Not that I am super prepared for the papers, but I just want them to get done and over with. I am 100.1% sick of studying. Sometimes I will be thinking what's the point. People tell me: "Got better future." "Earn more money." "Have better knowledge grasp." But when you are surrounded by a bunch of super smart people, it becomes so hard. How to compete for a better future if they are so much smarter than me? How to earn more money when all of them earn away all your money? How to get more knowledge when my brain can't absorb as much as them? What the **?? That's life.

All I have been asking for is a simple, happy and contented life. Why is it so hard to get? The simpler the things you want, the harder it is to get. It is indirectly proportional. It is easier to earn money to get an expensive LV bag than getting "price"-less happiness for life. See my point? Haiz~

Today is already friday.. Should I thank God it is friday? Maybe I should. But friday is bad, it is 2 days to Biochem and 4 days to Analytical Techniques paper. It is only good that coz it sounds nearer that my dear is gonna be in Melb with me in 8 days' time. Heez! Happiness** short-lived but treasured**

What am I searching for? My faith is failing but I still remember there is just one God~ Sometimes faith is personal but fellowship is important too. But I don't see it anymore.

My house is so so so so x 10 to the power of 6 DIRTY!! 4 other people is sort of using the house one way or another but no one bothers to keep it clean! Sh*t manz.. The dustbin was so terrible just now, leaking oil, freaking smelly.. And I, I repeat "I" was the one who cleared and cleaned it all up!! Haiz.. Why ah? Should I be glad that I am moving out soon? But when I meet a clean freak(oops=P), I think I will be the one paranoid.

Seriously! I am such a sleepy piggy~

Sleep! sleep! sleep! Is that all I can do best?? Think I am kidding.. Bet not..

Tons of reports. Case-study. Practicals @ Werribee. They rob my time away. No time for my final exams preparation at all. I think all I am left with is my SWOT vac from 28 May - 3 June. Haiz. 4 subjects and one week. How can a stupid girl do it? Guess what. Someone is getting married but I can't attend. Seriously sad. It might not be important to everyone, but it is important to me. Coz I missed out. The most important thing which happened and I missed out. Hearing my aunt's last words and saying goodbye. Tt's why I didn't want to miss out anymore. But reality is I am still going to miss out.

Yesterday, I was watching Oprah's show over dinner (bread and soup). She was promoting this DVD cum book : The Secret. One of the teachers was saying that energy within us is what is affecting other people and vice versa. Because he believes that all things happen for a reason. Energy within us is the power which make things happen to us and around us. Because energy cannot be created or destroyed, instead it is converted to different types of energy. The energy to make things happen. The energy not to make things happen. Well, where's my energy then?? But the sure thing is The Secret wants to get all the energy (in terms of money) from us. The stories are inspiring but not convincing to me.

These days, muffins are my comfort food. Not yoghurt anymore, Mr Toh W.H! And don't put ur msn nick as what Muffin Monster, I tell you. Today, I was really caught up with my case-study. My group spent 6 hrs cracking our heads and decided to rest for the day at abt 5 plus. Well, time is running out. Besides, we still got food processing prac reports, Analy Tech prac reports and this case study to hand in next fri. I wonder how am I going to cope. So guess what's my dinner tonite? Yeah, Chocolate Muffin from the shop below my apt. It was really yummy! And fattening too. =P dun care le. Fat den fat lorz. Later be a big fat pig. Wow! So "amazing" ^@^ Good for me.

Shopaholic shan!!

Goodness.. Melbourne is a super shiok place to shop! Coz the sale here is fantastic~~ (Droolz**)

Ytd, I got the most branded pair of jeans that I could ever dream about.. Guess what?? First Wow: I bought it at $50. Second Wow: Its orginal price is USD 230!!! Haha.. I feel so satisfied after I know its cost price.. Heh heh..

And today, I went to Camberwell Rotary Market at 0800hrs!! Super early.. Reach there about 9am.. Actually could be earlier.. all thanks to JX & Vania la! haha.. Then today coz of jingxi, our laughter all became this "Hur hur hur".. Haha.. Cute rite?? haha.. Imagine 3 girls and 1 guy going "Hur hur hur" at the same time.. Haha.. Den at the mkt, I tot that I wouldn't get anything I like.. Coz it is a flea mkt, and I m not a fan of 2nd hand goods.. Haha.. In the end, under wei hong's influence, I got a bag, a spag top and a GAP jacket!! Guess what?? It is only $13 altogether!!!! I tink tis is triple Wow lorz.. Thanks to my great eyesight for good stuff and hong's psycho.. Still tell me, "it is only abt $4 each, branded somemore, if dun like, can use as table cloth" Haha..

After tt, we headed to Sofia.. Den the portion there is CRAZY!! 4 of us eating 3 dishes, still can take away for Cheryl.. Damn funny la.. There is this group of girls behind our table, they got so much shock of the portion and started laughing hysterically.. Haha.. I tink they ordered alot too.. Haha.. I am "so" going to bring my dear there.. Haha Coz he is my hungry piggy, I think he will love it.. Haha.. Girls will always have space for dessert.. Coz after walking a bit, we stopped at this cafe - Choclatte and saw this super nice "Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake".. Haha, as usual, we love it!! The chocolate was so rich and yummy.. weihong KO after the 1st bite la.. Haha.. And I am so full now!! Can't take dinner liaoz.. If not will become fat sia.. Haha..

After this weekend, I got 3 assignments smiling at me.. And gotta start my revision.. Seriously! No more shopping! no more good food! no more McDreamy?? Haha..

Week 10 juz ended!

Yup, fri is here again.. This week was pretty good. 1)I got back my money from College Sq. 2)Handed in one assignment. 3)P&G casestudy started. 4)Had LaPorchetta ytd. 5)Started a bit of revision at LOH Lib. Got handsome guys to see. Motivation~ (I am so dead if my dear sees this. Heez) 6)Added marks to my exam. 7)Dr. Said say tt next wk is our last prac, therefore prac report is shorten. 8)Had an enjoyable prac doing sensory evaluation on milk, juice and jelly beans. Haha. 9)Thank God it's Friday!!

But I am still feeling empty. What's happiness??

I juz want to go home. I think all my friends heard this thousand and one times.. But I am still saying this, I want to go home badly. I am starting to not take it anymore. Don't why. I got practically everything some people wanted. Freedom, Yes! Friends, Yes! Food, double Yes! Shopping, Yes! Good education, Yes! Travel, Yes!

Ok, maybe except for money, family and SG friends. Miss these lots.. Alot alot..

Think POSITIVE!!

It has been a tough week. Poor results from MST. Piling Assignments. Classes at Werribee. Practical reports to complete. All these sux big time! Plus, the house phone was hogged by someone as usual (Sickening**) & could not talk to anyone at all. When is these crappy stuff going to end??

Thank God. Time flies. I am ending all these crap & start a new life all over again by Aug. Sometimes with these crap happening, I still get some fresh hope every now and then. Thank God that my cell still remembers me despite my MIA most of the time. Thank God that though I got no place to stay after 30 june, I got a good friend like WeiHong who is though full of nonsense and want to be an evil friend but still rent out his place to me. Thank God that I still got my Sg friends who constantly msg via msn, emails to support me and keep in touch. Thank God that I got besties in Melb like Raine, Novi, Tara & Cla who crap with me & go for aerobics classes with me & acc me to Max Brenner's when I am down. Thank God that my dear is coming to Melb to visit soon in June!! Happy like anything. Finally, Thank God that my parents see me through my education & life in Melb. I thank God so much but haven't been going church for so long. =P Failing Faith?? I duno. Someone tell me.

Yeah! Today, I am going to watch Spiderman 3!! Yeah!! Haha.. But before that, I gotta be at werribee to visit the State Chemistry Lab.. Sianz.. Hope today will be a wonderful day!

I found the remedy to my pessimistic nature~

Guess what?? Sleeping helps.. I realised that whenever I sleep, I don't think.. Then I become more positive, for eg. NOW!! Haha.. I guess because when I am sleeping, I dream.. And most of the time, Thank God, I dream about things, people and events I always wanted to see, hear and touch.. Maybe that's the reason I smile everytime I wake up.. I really do.. (OK, maybe when I refused to wake up from my dreams, then i dun..Haha)

I think what's wrong is my mind.. Always like to wonder and think.. And when I don't see it, I became very negative.. What I hate is that it affects the people around me.. Tt's why I become the "most" negative at the end of the day.. It is like so saturated that whatever positive just don't come into the picture..

Therefore, if I ever start this "hormonal" cycle, please stop me early..

I guess so..

Does blogging has an effect on improving mood?

It's a normal Sunday.. Went for tri-athletic aerobics class.. Had KFC with my friends.. Ate cereals, cheese and apple for dinner.. Doing mkting tutes and preparing for P&G case study.. Doing lab reports.. Got stuck in the reports.. Don't know what to do, how to do.. Can't help feeling sorry for myself.. I just want to go home.. Like NOW??

Sad.. Tears.. Feeling all stupid, incompetent, useless, unproductive.. What really matters?? I don't know..

What the hell am I thinking about??

Maybe I need more aerobics classes, tons of Max brenner's treats..

Yummy Brekkie at Gluttony (Smith st)!! Highly recommended~

Gosh! After a night of clubbing & dancing.. All's needed is a good breakfast! And I had it~ Where?? Gluttony at Smith st. (even the signboard says that it is a sin to eat there!) Haha..

I went for brekkie early in the morning at 10 plus with my hsemates Cheryl & Vania, together with Felix, Maybelline & Wan Ni.. It was so so good! We had Flapback Pancakes, Gluttony's special, Warm Breakfast & Corn Toast + Jam.. (I wonder if i got the names rite??) The main pt is it is so so yummy & worth the money.. Thick & pecan-filled pancakes with maple syrup.. Salmon salad with butter toast.. Nicely poached eggs & cheese toast.. Corn toast with home-made jam & peanut butter.. Drooling?? Really made my day after tt "not so fun & sickening" night.. Haha.. I think I am a person, all about good food & desserts.. Coz the cakes there look so irresistible.. Haha.. Gosh~ How am I gonna lose those wt, I should go to hong's place to weigh myself soon.. Haha.. Coz I am in love with aerobics too.. Tt's shan..

I told raine & hong abt it.. And I bet they are hoping that I will bring them there real soon!! Haha.. Tt's all for now.. gotta motivate myself to start on my assignments.. And I juz woke up from my nap.. Heez! Cheerios!

Biochem down! What's next??

Yup yup!! After one week of chionging biochem, I am finally done with MST.. Happy like anything.. Haha.. Since 7 apr, me and my gd frenz are so crazy abt group fitness.. And for this wk, I went for body steps, body jam, pilates and fitball.. Haha.. It is so so cool and fun to learn.. Have been enjoying myself and hoping to tone up a little.. Heez..

And coz ytd was fri nite and it is Ladies' Nite at Loft!! Haha.. BUT BUT.. It is so so boring there.. The music sux, the crowd sux too!! However, clubbing with the girls is really enjoyable coz it is the NITE for us to relax after Biochem.. Haha.. I think I won't go clubbing anymore.. Juz not me.. At all.. Esp in Melb.. =P

This is my 100th blog.. But it is gonna be a sad one~

What a stressful life we got.. And I got it too.. Sch days, stress abt studies.. Work life, stress abt work, ppl & pay.. Own life? stress abt money, family, relationships & alot more.. Sianz.

I am having a great deal of stress from every aspect mentioned above.. Especially money last night.. ever since a super "enjoyable" talk w my parents.. Is there nth else we can talk abt, except money.. Hate it! Money is evil, which we can do without.. So we are evil.. haha.. My logic (a bit of crappiness).. Now I lost interest to do whatever I wanted to do.. Coz it is all about money.. No money no talk.. This is so sian.. The feeling of seeing no income, is so damn, what the heck sian..
