Picture mania

I have 3 albums waiting to be put up on fb and my hand is starting to feel itchy already! Thank God to endure through the next one day of my fast, i have filled up my day with more productive things like gym, shepherding and dinner with the housemate:)

The mid sem break is finally here! So relieved! I have never felt like i so badly deserve and need a break! *ive been very hardworking k!! :):)

Even during the last lecture for the week, which i totally switched off! She was talking about bananas! LOL.. Then we had a photography session!:)

with the public health girls :D

I really thank God for bringing Tze Chien in my life..we have so many similiarities!! :) She is so so so so sweet! Knowing ill be in melbourne next week, she made me a card that says "welcome to melbourne" and wrote a whole list of good food! :) So touched* hehe! Thank you Tze Chien!

gotta go to the gym! Have a good weekend! :)

Yahoooooo!

Yahooooo! Assignments, quizes and exams no more till after the mid sem break!!! :) :) Although it really feels like final exam freedom! hehe... After the quiz, lecture and joanne's birthday celebration, came home finish up my last assignment and KO-ed at 10pm.. I was that tired!

Despite that, woke up for body combat and gosh i was so energy-less i came home and slept again.. I couldnt move.. i felt so physically and mentally tired! But after replenishing my energy vacuumed the room and then off for shopping with Tze Chien:) ahhhh shopping and green tea icecream craving satisfied! :)

Pictures from last night's celebration! :) *we got her a doggy cake! sooo cute right??

Just thinking of the memories we had makes me smile :)

I got an email from facebook today!

Indeed alot has happened throughout the past week without facebook. I have made 4 new friends and have finished 2 assignments and one exam. Which i remember spending time sitting on my chair doing it till my butt is so sore :S I remember clearly from sitting on the chair, to sitting on the bed, to squating on the floor and standing up studying and reading journals! oooh and ive also spent alot of time hoolahooping!

this week's gonna be another half crazy week! with 2 assignments due and a quiz to study for but after that im gonna go on a week long's well deserved break, this time not on fb but on a holiday! :) :) Super cant wait!

3 things that made my day today.

1.Im 1kg away from my "ideal" weight

2. Ken's got banned from his game account!

3.Got an sms from my dearest Liaw Su Faye! :)

4.Facebook buddy sent me sms too, knowing she is far away and i cant facebook!! :)

Now back to assignment land :D

The little things that make me happy:)

So im in day 5 into life without facebook and im proud i actually made it till today.. 11 days to go and ill be free. Ok that sounded wrong. But at least i havent died without getting social updates and not knowing what is going on in the life of others. Most of all i miss the almost everyday facebook message with my facebook buddy where we just share our thoughts and talk about the random happenings.

I just submitted an assignment which have kept me entertained the last few days and thank God its only 9% plagarism detected. If it was more than 20 i would have cried, because that means i have to redo and change what i have written and it is due on saturday. It sounds like a yayy! but i have another 2 assignments and a quiz due next week. Im coping ok but im just hoping at the end of next week i haven transformed into a nerd. LOL

Since i have the rest of the night off, i started to think what my mum talked to me about and that is to plan what i want to do next year. If i want to take a break: how long and what productive things am i going to do? She told me to learn some skills, get a part time job and convince my dad to bring me along to Rome next year for his business trip :) Ive thought abit of it, have a vague idea but more planning needs to be done.

Updates: 1. I have lost weight! weeeeee! :) sedikit sedikit lama lama jadi bukit!

2. I can run 5km now:)

Ooh and on Monday for lab for Food Product Development we were suppose to develop a healthy dip and compare it with a commercial one available on the market. It was pretty successful, at least the colour looks about right! Quite fun right lab go do masak masak :P

But lab reports and quizes no fun!

Finally i want to thank Bryan for updating his blog so that i am entertained, my facebook buddy-Wen Huey who still randomly sms me knowing i cant go on fb to reply her msges and for Sabrina for posting those meaningful words that have kept me sane and going the past week! :) I even wrote it out, paste on my wall and everytime i feel like its too much to bear, i look up see those words and keep going:)

No to facebook

Starting last Sunday, i decided on a two week facebook fast. So blogs, exams, assignments and blackboard have ever since become my new entertainment :)

So far its going well.. i mean how boring can life get without facebook right? But you see, when you are in a country where there is no entertainment after 5, life can get pretty boring especially with lecture notes only available. Blogs get pretty dead after awhile as they dont get updated every minute.

Why on this facebook fast? Lets just say, if i see pictures on facebook i get pretty busy body and start viewing the album and catch people doing things i will get jealous about. Trust me, even small things bring out the jealous side of me! so i figured, if i fast facebook (which i have to admit is pretty hard to do), i wont be a busy body then i wont see anything and wont make life difficult for my victim :P

So say NO to facebook!

on the other hand, as most might have known, my bestest friend visited me from Perth on Saturday! Despite the busy busy busy week, im happy to spend the time with her.. It was a difficult period and lets just say: Just by getting to see her, makes everything all right:)

Sunset at South bank:D

insecurities

Today ive decided to talk about insecurities. Why insecurities? i think almost every girl i know, no matter how strong they look on the outside, have problems in this area. Whether is it insecurity in appearance, studies, life, love, friends and so on. Is it true that only girls have insecurity and guys dont?

I think both genders have our fair share of insecurities but girls tend to get more tangled in the issue since we have the overflowing emotions and hormones at its peak level once a month.

Today is one of those days i have to deal with that insecurity issue again. The insecurity of not being good enough, not showing enough love, not doing enough and not deserving enough.

But somehow i was reminded of what someone told me two days ago when i was feeling insecure..

"There was once a farmer who had two jars of clay. One jar had a crack on it so it was not not able to be used to its full potential by the farmer. The jar was very upset, felt lousy, abandoned and not loved as much as the perfect jar. When the farmer knew that the jar was insecure,lonely, feeling extremely lousy and not good enough, he told the jar: look at the left side of the path i walked from the well to home, they have become beautiful with flowers, while the right side was filled with mud and dirt. Its because of your crack i was able to water the path daily. The perfect jar supplied me water to drink, but u gave me a beautiful sight to see everyday on my walk home. You are not lousy but you deserve all the praise!"

When we are insecure, we are like that jar with the crack. We may be blinded with our imperfections but we are really beautiful, capable and deserved to be loved:) Sometimes all you need is a story like that to make us secure again. In life, we tend to hold on to man made love, man made things and man made careers.... but what we really need is to hold on to the one who can give overflowing love, will never get tired of you and will always be there for you.. our one and only most awesome God:)

I hope this encourages you as much as it has to me!

girls and walking :P

I figured i should talk less and let the pictures do the talking.. since as humans we prefer pictures than words kan? :P

The next day, we all still very semangat and went for our 10km UNIDUS walkathon. UNIDUS is a community building currently under construction by the church! its like those jogathon, walkathon kindda thing our schools used to have for fund raising:)

Trying to make the word UNIDUS with our bodies :P

Ended the week with extreme tiredness and fever! :S

Procrastinating

I wasnt thinking of blogging till Sunday

Okay. Scrap that. Recently i find myself starting the post with "i wasnt thinking of blogging". Yeah you know what i mean.

So yeah.. my week(Monday) started of with a long day of classes, gym( i can run 4.8km now!!! :P), some antipodean talk which took me and Rachel ages to find the place...

Tuesday came and had my first sheep-ing? lesson with Jessica:)

I was preparing and nervous at the same time coz i didnt know what to expect but it turned out really well:) I not bad in teaching leh! LOL.. Thank God for giving me such a sweet girl as my sheep! The more we talk, i realised she is so much like me, except sweeter and more gentle! haha! Really need to start toning down on my talking and buck up the gentle spirit:)

We went to Max Brenner's:)
