Saturday Night Out

dreamy is a mean mean girl..
i really wonder how my sisters n brudders stand my nonsense sometimes...It must have been real hard on them...*sigh*

Take for example, i personally witnessed someone turning away 5 good friends at the automatic door merely half hr ago..Apparently, she ran across the road, parking lot, signalled frantically to the man on the other side of the door to open the door for her... then rushed in and wrestled the door shut , b4 a persuing sister managed to catch up... One would think she would open the door, considering the 5 of them are standing out in the cold wind..But no, her stone-cold heart shut all of them out, out of her heart n her house... just bcos her house is too messy..Dunno wat her friends were thinking...

I am sorry... that girl was me..

The evening earlier..

Had so much fun at Vern's place!! =p I am glad i went in the end.. was feeling alittle grouchy n lazy this morn... had my beloved sofa taken away from me.. couldnt watch vcds on my laptop cos something wrong with the discs, resulting in only able to watch on dvd player, which he has staked out as his own for today.. humbug..

so much good food.. such great company! everyone was there.. physios, non-physios, seniors.. juniors.. sisters..brudders.. sister's fren.. food does bring together people from all ard the world hey? hehe..A crazy thing happened too!! haha.. Vern and i had a water fight!! Alrite GER, bring it on! =p Crazy woman chased me from the kitchen to the living room, around the dining table..and when i thought i was winning..a jutting chair twarted my brilliant escape! aRgh.. so a whole plate of warm water landed on my back, ard the right armpit area.. bleah..and they say warm water in aussieland is not safe for drinking.. bleah.. was teased by an older sisterthat i have some problem with my autonomic sweating glands at my right armpit, should see a doc asap... !!!?!?! What the.. =p I guess i deserved it for dumping a handful of cold water on Vern's head... hehe...

Love you guys so much! plus the sister back home too.. =p

what a day..

i have been a bad sister... i am sorry Shopping Gal.. After turning from the sofa, i caught a glimpse of your crestfallen face.. and at that moment, all my anger vanished. No matter how expensive or how valuable the poncho is to me, you are ten times more important. My sister, i am so sorry that i was so hotheaded.. dont worry, i am mad no more.. and the poncho has not been harmed, just my pride. =)

Just got home from the night market.. so crowded tonight. Wormie commented that it was a high-class pasar malam equivalent. =p was so tempted to add a few strands of bright purple hair entensions to my already colourful hair. =p Afterall, since already labelled as ah lian, why not bring the term to new heights yah? hee.. Yet, after a few mins of serious contemplation, decided against. Now look like high-class, educated ah lian, if add more colours, will probably downgrade to neighbourhood ah lian.

Status is everything, you know.

So i decided to take my first puff. heh. Yup, i meant a real, white, marlboro cigarette. All eyes were on me, as news spread that i was taking my first puff. Felt exactly like a fraternity ceremony, though i am sure the real tests are probably much more challenging. =p

As my fren lit up his cigarette for me, my heart started to beat faster.
As he demonstrated how to puff it, my gaze was so filled with concentration, i could feel my temples pounding with anticipation.
Unbelievably, my index n middle fingers trembled as they gently clamp around the slim body of the cigarette. What a novice.

Inhale.
Inhale again.
Exhale.

Felt nothing. For a moment, i was worried there. Had i inhaled so much passive smoke from my dad in the past, that nocotine no longer affects me? oh dear..

Tried again.

Nothing. Not a single wisp of smoke escaped my mouth as i exhaled. Oh oh dear..

Unconvinced. So questioned my mentor about the intrinsics of it. Maybe i have made a mistake somewhere.. =p indeed i have. The second inhale should be through my mouth too. Silly me have been using my nose..

3rd Try : Inhale. Inhale again.
Cough cough cough!! okay, so the rumours are true. You do cough like crazy during your first puff. Somehow, there is an aftertaste left in your mouth. Rather bitter. Rather distasteful. but i guess one could get used to it. esp if the euphoric effects are strong enough to disguise anything. =p

i must have looked like i enjoyed my experience tremendously.. bcos my mentor immediately kept his pack n lighter, gently reminding me that he will not offer me any cigarette again cos he doesnt want me to get addicted. How responsible. =) Not to worry.. at this moment, i have no intention to get started. perhaps my memory of my smokey childhood has yet some lingering effects. but now i can fully understand why the lure of smoking can be so overwhelming. Just holding it, the action alone exudes some degree of elegance and class.. with a tinge of danger. How exciting. I am intrigued.

Hope lili dear had a great party with us! *hugs*

Today has been a very long day. *yawns* Nite nitez everyone. =)

CaLL oN mE

Exactly how therapeutic is WaTeR?

If you ask me, i would say "VERY!!" =p Just took a good, solid, half hour shower.. No, i wasnt extremely filthy today.. Just stood there, with the cold water running down my face, my hair, my body.. washing away all my tiredness, my worries, my thoughts, my fears, my anguish, my everything... leaving me thought-free, unburdened, carefree.. Yup, i can face the world again.. =)

Can feel the flu bug loosening its hold on me already. No longer coughing as bad as last weekend nor experiencing a steep incline in temperature once in a while.. I feel blessed. I have so many people ard me who cares for me, even pple (like cheryl dear =p) who are back home do give a hoot abt my health.. *touched* =p thank you everyone.. *hugs*

The issue of where to go for my global attachment has been bugging me for quite some time..It does seem very likely that if i should embark on my journey to Canada, it would be on my own. Thats right, an entire month in a foreign country ...aloonnneeee....

Already, some of my close frens have raised pertinent issues about the safety and wiseness of such a "rash" move. All of which, i share the same reservations myself. However, didnt i come to australia on my own 2 years ago? hadnt i felt tat if i dont hold on to my dream, no one else could make it come true? so.. after thinking it through very carefully, i have decided that i shall go ahead n apply for a hosp in Canada and leave it to Buddha to decide for me whether i should go. I should not let an opportunity go so easily if it comes knocking at my door.

Cherish.

Flu

Germs..
alcohol
Fever..
panadol
Sore throat..
more panadol
Green sputum..
choc brownie & choc chip cookies
More green sputum..

Tasks:
1. Identify Dreamy's presenting problems.
For each problem, make a prioritised list of how it may be caused (hypotheses).

2. What further information do u require from the subjective exam to refine ur list of hypotheses?

3. Outline your management plan for Dreamy for today.


No.. i am not going crazy.. i just cant seem to shirk free the persistent bugs residing in my apparently feeble body. Each time i feel slightly better, the next moment an evil fever will take over my body, or greenish sputum would start to multiple outrageously.

So.. i decided i needed some fresh air, although normally, i wouldnt have considered the smokey airs of crown casino to be fresh..but hey, beggers cant be choosers right? =p had a long day out today, feeling tired..
*off to bed*

To my Valentine

dreamy angel at 11:59 PM [2 choccies worth]

{Dreaming Of You..}

Just for you...

My fren..
Fret not, for even if the whole world abandons you, i will be here.
Cry not, for my heart aches with every drop of your tears.
Ache not, for there are so many people here who loves you.
But if u have to cry, we will always be here to wipe your tears away...
So be brave my dear fren... i will always be just a few steps away..

Is this a stumbling block or a stepping stone?
Only you can decide.
You don't need to stumble or fall,
With Jesus at your side.

They come in many different forms.
Heartaches, troubles. and loss.
But Jesus showed His love for you.
When He died upon the Cross.

God's word tells us when we are tried,
More than we can bear,
He'll provide a way to escape,
There's a crown for us to wear.

No one could ever make it alone,
On our strength alone we'll fall
But our God is there to help us
If on His name we'll call.

There is no shortage of His power.
He's Master and Ruler of all.
He has plenty of grace for you,
He's listening for your call.

It doesn't matter how big the stone,
Or how small that it may be.
We're safe if we lean upon,
The Man of Galilee.

So Friend, when you've been tried,
Don't feel you're all alone.
Don't let it be a stumbling block,
But make it a STEPPING STONE.

Dry Sweat

Jog + tennis = UV rays (infinity) + dry skin

Its wierd.. there is/was so little pespiration on my dry skin that right this moment, i am beginning to doubt the 1.5 hr of jog + tennis actually did take place. The only two things keeping my sanity intact are perhaps the fact that my specs are still tainted due to the UV rays and that i am still in my exercise attire. However, one can argue that the UV rays shining through my balconey window are sufficient to turn anything taint without having me to step out of my door. hmm...

Funny. My tummy hurt when i was doing a slow... really slow jog.. Must have gone lazy after the whole week of couch-lying & endless munching. Either that or my abs must have been having a really hard time trying to hold in my bulging stomach & its briming contents within the puny abdominal cavity. Even now, it still hurts. sigh.

Do u still rem the infamous show SEVEN starring Brad Pitt? yes, the one with the seven sins as the theme. Let me see, how many of the 7 sins have i commited within the short span of one week... hmm... Sloth? yes..... Gluttony? yes...... Greed? yes.... Envy? hmm... maybe..but not in the same context as in the show... Lust? erh no. ... darn, cant remember the remaining two sins... nvmind, 3 1/2 out of 7 is like 50% already... bad bad.. i am incorrigible.. hiak hiak hiak.. =p

time for a shower... Yay! =p

More ramblings...

"yuan yuan xiang bao, he shi liao..."

simple but powerful words from the mouth of a well-respected reverend in sky dragon 8 steps just as i launched the page of "create" in my bloggie... mm.. has absolutely no relation to wat i was planning to write in my entry, but hey, spontaneity is my middle name.. =p hee..

Shopping Gal & Litl Chilli Padi popped by my place earlier this afternoon..didnt noe that girls' talk are as good as ever even if the girls have grown up to womanhood.. am seriously considering staying over at Chilli Padi's place tomoro.. but i have no wish for my flunctuating moodswings to rub off my sisters..i know for sure, upon nightfall, my gloomy half will show its ugly head .. =<

ended up just staying at home and taking a 3 hour nap from 8pm, instead of ktv-ing.. Opened a packet of satay broad beans, given by an old fren (still thinking of a nickname for XX =p) amongst other local goodies.. yummy.. was hoping these little brown goodies will help salve wo de xin bing, but to no avail. i guess xing bing cant be healed so easily.. silly me..

hmm.. the show is getting more n more interesting.. bleah. shall save my thots for another day.. =p tata~

Hibernation?

I must be going craZy.. or is this the real me?

have absolutely no interest in leaving my comfortable house.. except for school .. and food, of course.. =p even chatting with my sisters involves them personally coming by my house... for the furthest i wud step out of my house is my neighbour's house..

Am I truely becoming a hermit crab? or are my vcds simply too enticing for me to venture out of my comfort zone?

This is wierd...

Amidst all my vcds, munching, vcds and more munching, i had some spare time to think.. (i.e when the dvd player is loading the vcd, my walk to the kitchen etc etc..) and i realise that despite my occasional loneliness and homesickness, it was a good thing that i left home for here.. albeit for a few months each time..

I was taught the lesson of cherish-ment.

To cherish my loved ones... to cherish the goodness of spore.. to cherish my good fortune, of not having to slog at work just to pay my sch fees.. to cherish the yummy food we have at home.. to cherish the security n safety we have in spore streets.. =p insignificant things that we all take for granted until they are taken away from us..
yesh, i know i sound like a broken radio, repeating what has been said over n over again.. but its true.. and i hope i will nv take all these things plus others for granted again...

i wonder.. does my loved ones cherish me too? =)

Babble

Mwahaha... I am spreading the love of vcds to the people ard me...everyone is becoming a couch potato like me.. hee.. my beloved neighbour is hooked on Mars (starring Zai Zai & Da S =p) while i am addicted on SOS (Strawberry On the Shortcake)... one is taiwanese ou xiang ju and the other is japanese ai qing ju.... i noe i noe, SOS is really outdated... bleah.. but good shows are like old wine, gets better n better as it ages.. => Mars is a serial not to be missed! For those who love Liu Xing Hua Yuan 1, you will love this even more.. hehe..no kidding! =p here, i must really thank my old fren who buying it for me... =>

Just a question for u to ponder on and post ur ans on my taggie if u wish... If u have a slice of strawberry cake with a juicy, yummy-looking strawberry on the top, would you eat the strawberry right away? or leave it to the last to savour? =p

mm... today is the 2nd day of our chinese new year... yet i feel none of the usual excitement and hustle on the streets.. so many of my frens seem so nonchalant about the entire fuss, and those who care, are blessed with the company of their loved ones.. i guess my point is, i wan my ang pows. =p heh heh...

must share an incident that happened today which lighted up my day... one of my sister, Wormie, commented that she like my red streaks!!!! hee... yah i noe, i am turning superficial.. bleah.

Ktv session tomoro.. To go or not to go?

Today...

The first thing that came to my mind when i opened my eyes this morning was... how swollen my eyes were and the tear stains on my cheeks..
i guess i must have cried in my sleep...

The next thing that came to my mind was... that he must have left the house already, for the house is quiet without its usual sounds from "sky dragon 8 steps"..


The first thing that crossed my mind when i looked at my reflection in the bathroom mirror was... i must have overdone my comfort eating, because my face is starting to signs of it..

The next thing that crossed my mind was... i am having a bad hair day...


The first thing that struck me when i was walking to uni was... how crisp & fresh the air is, with a tinge of lemonade lingering in the after-smell...

The next thing that struck me was... i am no longer suffering from sinusitis... in fact, i rarely wake up without my nose being blocked, back home.. i have regained my smelling prowess... =p

The 3rd thing that struck me was... how stupid & crazy i am, as usual, in thinking that my flimsy tee can protect me from the lashes of melb cold wind.. i must have been out of my mind, believing that there would be no wind during the supposedly "hot" noon hour.. i forgot that melb defies all rules of normalcy... hmm...

and i just realise i am running late for my lect now... =p hopefully it wud be interesting.. or else there wud be many thoughts running thru my head.. again.. =)

ang pows

mmm... the houses i will be visiting are my frens'... none of which i can collect ang pow from .. hurmph..not to mention, i am one of the oldest there... darn.. old & unmarried... wan me to give ang pow somemore.. prob all conspired not to let me get married.. bleahz..

despite tat.. still had great fun tonight~! =) invited a few clsoe frens over for steamboat & chinese dinner ...ended up with too much food.. tummies all bursting.. hee.. best thing was, Made commented tat it was wise of her to wear elastic pants over, cos usually i feed my guests till they are abt to puke &/or beg for mercy... hurmph, got good food also complain.. =p soooo happy.. even went to asian grocery to get "tong dong gua" (sugared wintermelon) to munch on.. hee.. guess wat i saw there?? MOCHIS~!!!! oOOooo.... *burps* =p *pats bulging tummy*

More friends popped by after, and soon, a mahjong table was formed.. heh...yesh, i know i know.. tomoro will be playing mj too... but cant help it.. isnt MJ such a wonderful way to spend CNY eve & chu xi? so chinese.... so comforting... =p at least, i am surrounded with my buddies... true, they cannot replace my family... but i still feel loved... =)

to be honest, when i first found out that i have no classes tomoro and fri... and only 1 lect on thurs.. (this week only, i must emphasize.. =p ), i wished i had followed my heart and stayed for the week.. i applaud the two brave gers (my frens) who followed their hearts.... unfortuntately the choice is irreversible... so i guess, if next yr starts with theory block, i will most definitely stay for cny... even if i end up with 5 full days of work, the "tuan yuan fan" will make it all worth it.. at the end of the day.. its my family tat loves me the most..

suddenly, i am overcome with immense sadness ... so many things weighing me down... graceful hippo, if u are reading this... i really.. really dunno if i can cope.. really... really dunno wat to do... i think i need a hug.. badly...

Boo hoo hoo...

??

If there is a question mark in your head, i will gladly tell u why i'm sad... its bcos i am back in this "gui di fang"! =<

hmmm...

never used to think of melb as "gui di fang"... always liked this place.. but after 2 years of "li xiang bei jing", kinda miss home terribly.. esp my da jie.. did so much things with her this holiday.. so many late night or morn (if she "keng" work.. =p ) chats... complaining/lamenting about naggy mum and men.. singing to Jay's songs... heh.. i miss her.. and home..

so i did what i cud do to comfort myself...

i brought more than 10 kg of foodtsuffs back!! hee.. =p so that i can become more and more cute! =p kinda almost finished one bottle of pineapple tarts liao... hee.. wait, befor eu condemn me n label me as a glutton, let me tell u my sad story.. =p

imagine this.. a young ger, depressed over leaving home just before chinese new year, sitting alone on the huge n comfortable sofa... baking in the warm summer heat! too tired to study... too depressed to sleep... so what can she do?

WATCH VCDS...

heh heh... but watching vcds without food~ is like watching a movie without popcorn.. or going to swensons n not ordering icecream... or attending a lecture without paper n pen... Its just WRONG.. so one by one, the pineapple tarts entered my mouth.. hee.. yum yum! =p

Right now.. i am sitting in the comp lab, with two sisters on each of my sides.. 5 of us staring into the comp screens, as tho if we stared hard enuff, our souls can be absorbed in to the cyber space n travel to the world of our loved ones... wishing we cud be where they are tonight, eating a delightful "tuan yuan fan" with them.. *sigh*

At least we can take comfort in the fact that we have no classes tomoro.. Just tomoro, but good enuff for us.. At least, Buddha is fair.. =) I can get to play MJ with my sisterS!! n watch vcds!! hehe... maybe can pop by lygon to get some gelati too... hmm.. *burps* hee..

sisters... lets rock tonight! =)
