Dear Friday the 13th,

I know I'd never believed in your existence and the things that you will do to people on this very day. So I guessed after that many Friday the 13th that I'd met all this while, you decided to send me a message informing me that yes, you are not just some fictional superstitious fixation that everyone talks about. But two weird incidents on the same day? Now that's a lill mean don't you think so?

2008-12-31T14:01:00.000+11:00

It's crazy how time flies. It's been almost 3 weeks since I'm back to the land where I grow up and in 10 hours, we'll all bid goodbye to 2008 and greet 2009.

Happy New Year, everyone =)

Lately, I stumbled upon a very very interesting incident. Interesting enough to make me realised that the world is not so humble after all. Then it also made me realised that, am I being too absorbed with people's problems or am I being too carried away with other people's words and thoughts? Being too carried away with other people's words had always been one of my weaknesses. I sometimes feel that I care and mind too much about what other people think and say that in the end upsets myself inside. I cry if I see people crying or when my friends cry when they're having problems. My brain tells my heart to be sappy when I see physically disabled people or blind people on the streets and then it'll hit me hard to feel lucky and for that few hours I'll probably be sulking about it.

Hmm..I'm sure the saying that goes "never judge a book by its cover" somehow applies to everyone. As for me, I strongly believe in it as there are many times, the cover of a book always proves me wrong. That of course only applies to hard solid objects and not towards people. I always tell myself not to judge a person based on what other people said about them, or how a person treats other people until if I do somehow experience the "bad" thing of a person, then I would proudly say "I should have judge that book by its cover. More to it, I will only believe rumors about a person if I myself see it with my own eyes.

I think I would consider myself lucky as I've never really encounter any mushy friendship tragedy-yet, until not too long ago. The act of backstabbing, blaming and accusing that came altogether has hit me hard that all this while I was being too naive to think that it won't happen to me. Hmm nuff said. I shall not reveal too much.

2008-12-13T02:09:00.002+11:00

Tee hee :)
Know something? I bet not :D :D
Will be flying off back to the land of familiarity and comfort in another 13 hours :D

On another note, I was surprised that I felt a tinge of melancholy when I said my byes and see you in back in M'sia talk. The irony is that not like its a goodbye forever thingy or like a goodbye for a year thing. It's only a goodbye for a month situation. So I thought about it during my 45minutes train ride home and came to a conclusion that maybe it's the thought that it's the last time that we'll be spending time like that in aussie. Hmm nothing's permanent right? Somehow sometime there will be a time to accept the changes and move on with your life /:

It's the last 6 days of my summer holidays over here in Sydney. And how was my trip to Gold Coast you might be wondering. My answer is fantastically fabulous =) I've been trying real hard to blog about my whole trip and I'm still working on it. Yup it is simply due to pure laziness. Though there are some days where I stayed home the whole day and just sit in front of my laptop, I still dread typing everything out.

I can foresee that the next 6 days will be filled with outings with my darlings and packing and unpacking (due to space constraint thanks to my ever growing wardrobe) in between. And packing will be horrendous. Just today, I've started putting stuffs into my luggage and now

its 80percentfullwtf. I still have a basket of clothes to be brought back and now tell me how am I suppose to fit it all into my poor luggage? T.T Bah enough of luggage issues. I know I'll somehow work out some brilliant ideas to try and squeeze everything in. Haha

Just yesterday, I was out in the city and we'd finally tried the tiny but yummylicious La Renaissance French Bakery at The Rocks. Though it was a bit too pricey to pay for the size of the cake, nevertheless the quality has somehow take over the amount of money that we paid for. I would say, for the standard of Aussie cakes, it is so far one of the best over here.

The Tiramisu

And the Mango Mousse, which is highly recommended.

Alright, till then (:

2008-11-26T02:41:00.002+11:00

Tee hee. I'm flying off to Gold Coast in another 27 hours! The long awaited holiday since months ago has finally arrived! The beach, the place, the theme parks, the weather. Ahhhhh.. Now I'm off to clear pictures in my camera, which I never like doing because somehow even if pictures were already downloaded into my laptop, I still like keeping it in my camera. Don't know why I just lovee the idea that pictures are still inside my camera. Alright that two things that I just typed out seems to have no connection or whatsoever at all. Bahh whatever, I.Am.Just.So.Excited. Bye Sydney, Hello Gold Coast :D :D :D Till then people :D

2008-11-23T00:43:00.004+11:00

I'm now an exam-free girl like finally :) And it's time for me to say "Hello, Summer Holidays", "Hello, Gold Coast" and 'Hello home" but "Goodbye, Money". Haha. After exams are always meant for the time for me to start pumping money into the retail and the tourism industry. And then my mom would probably kill me for spending money like as if money grows on tree. Wtf. Hmm it's normal isn't it to give a little bit of reward for the job well done by me after studying so hard for the last two weeks. But seriously, the last two weeks were hectic. Stress were building up on me so much especially after my first paper, which drove me nuts and it made me realised that I need to even work extra harder for my last two papers since I still have the chance. It made me crazy enough to take nonsensical pictures, such as

Enough of that. Gonna get some sleep and regain my energy for tomorrow because it's after exams and that there's no reason for me to stay home whole day :p plus the boy's not home *sour face* and that gives me an extra reason to not stay home without him accompanying me online.

Happy Holidays. Till then (:

2008-11-16T02:59:00.000+11:00

I've been learning to forgo certain things for the better future. Haha konon-nya. Anyway, that's true. I've been forgoing the suppose to be karaoke session yesterday and the sleepover at Sweez's place today. Hmm, though I thought about them once in a while in between my study time, I am actually relieved and proud of myself because of the decision made and how beneficial it is to stay home instead :) Well, not that I don't missed them and that I'm saying spending time with them is a waste of time. It's, hmm how do I put it? Nah I'm sure all of you will understand. Oh and btw, I still have the can't-stop-thinking-of-what-you-all-are-doing feeling k? Haha.

Talking about forgoing things, since I started this post on it, I might as well continue talking about it. I've also forgo a few things, just because I follow my emotions and my feelings. Ok in short, irrationally. Like, how I am going to forgo ending the year over here by watching the Harbour Bridge's fireworks just because I want to go home. The irony is that, from day one since I landed over here, I've been telling everyone that the NYE fireworks is a must-see once in a lifetime opportunity considering that we are already here and that that's one of my dunno-how-many-number-of things I want to do before I die. But now, my feelings is more towards home, that I can actually forgo it.

Alright, time flies. I've just wasted half an hour blogging. Oh and just to annoy all my readers, (that is if I have any) haha by next month today, I'll be in my home sweet home :)

2008-11-13T18:20:00.004+11:00

First paper done and there's still another 2 more. My advertising and banking subject left. So what about my paper today? Well, I must have faith that I will pass. And if I don't, you see this hideous UTS Tower Building,

I'll jump down from this building. Serious. Right now, I'm declaring hiatus till tomorrow before I began my battle of the exams again.

2008-11-11T20:08:00.004+11:00

Well, hello there. I've been missing from the internet world just because I'm in the midst of studying for my finals. Yup, I really did alright. Except for some breaks in between. Haha I'm still the same old procratinator that gets drifted and attracted to facebooking once a while. BUT good thing is, I've procrastinate less. This I swear. Haha. Surprise isn't it? The simple ideology behind the "changed" that I've made is just simply because I don't want to regret anymore after that. I was just chatting with one of my cousins the other day and he just reminded me of something. Something that I kinda let it slipped out of my mind. So yup, that is what resulted in the hardworking side of me. Thing is, I really don't want the same thing happening again and again. Plus, I really want a guilt-free holiday. I don't want to spend my holiday thinking and worrying and feeling guilty bout my exams anymore. Talking about holidays, every now and then, I tend to start making a list, mentally on what I should bring back home. Tee hee. Just so you know, it's 5 weeks till I'm home :D :D :D and 3 weeks till Gold Coast. Double happiness. Haha. Omg omg omg can't waittt.

Come finals. I can't wait for you. LOL

2008-11-07T15:25:00.004+11:00

I lovee studying that I stayed up until...

the sky turns bright. Wtf.

And you know what's the worst thing? An hour later I was still wide awake on my bed. Counting sheep and listening to boring dull instrumental music seems to have failed to put me to sleep. And I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up at 1 in the afternoon just now. OMFG I seriously need some sleeping therapy.

2008-11-05T14:31:00.006+11:00

I don't know since when I find a new interest, which is not something that I should be proud of. I don't know since when I find sleep a luxury to me, rather than a "need". I don't remember skipping class back in M'sia just because "I'm too tired" or "I just couldn't wake up" or "Lazy to wake up" or I just give in to sleep because I am just too lazy and undetermine to force myself to wake up. Not to mention back in Msia, even last semester, I don't remember having this kind of problem at all. Even if there was, it will be probably like once or twice only in the whole semester. I think my new interest has decided to take over and dominate me this semester. You see, I just can't stop wondering how the hell did I manage to wake up so freaking early last semester for my really extremely early classes at 9am. But now, my earliest class is at 11a.m which is only on Tuesdays and the rest of the days are afternoon classes and yet, I still can sleep in and skipped classes. The lecture that I skip most is my Tuesday 11a.m. lecture because "It's just too early and I couldn't wake up". Bahh excusess ChanWueiYunn. Why why and why did I suddenly developed this sleeping habit this semester? Back in Malaysia, I will not have this kind of problem, because duh isn't it obvious that my mom will wake me up and do you think I would even dare to skip class by telling her that I'm too lazy and I don't want to wake up? Hahah the naggings that I would need to go through if I am to do that is enough to motivate me to wake up! HAHAh wtf.

Know what? I did a little research and I think I'm suffering from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. Read this, "People with DSPS tend to fall asleep some hours after midnight and have difficulty waking up early in the morning. People with the disorder report they cannot sleep until early in the morning (Wikipedia 2008). OMFG. Nuff said.

Alright enough of that. It's confirmed. Yes I am suffering from that. Wtf.

Ok time to start studying for finals next week since I just completed the last assignment for the semester yesterday and wth did I just waste time doing some unnecessary research? Bahh

Helloooo nerdy mood ;P

2008-11-05T02:01:00.002+11:00

Birthdays, in my own family had always been a "big" thing. That's because, my youngest sister, my dad and my birthday are just right after another, starting with me on the 30th, then my dad's on the 31st and my sister's on the 1st of Nov. Haha ironic right. But yup that's the truth. I remember how lucky I am back in those years. When I was younger, I remember having birthday parties every single year with my extended family that's for sure and in some years, I will get to invite my friends over. And so after 20 years of birthday celebrations with my family every single year, my 21st, will be the first birthday without them. Just the thought of it makes me missed them so so so much. Alright I'm going to say this again, haha I just can't wait to go back =)

So let me start off with my whole birthday thing. It started off when my mom called me an hour before the midnight. I never thought that I will have the sudden rush of emotions when she wished me. I mean, during normal phone calls, I never felt this way at all. And now, just because she called me and and all of them wished me, I was so overwhelmed with emotions. Ken said that it might be because it's my birthday and the thought of being away from home during special days that's what making me so filled up with emotions. Next, after the phone call from home, was a surprise phone call from my ~~cheapskate~~ boyfriend, who then after talking for a good half an hour or so, told me to transfer our call to Skype. See, now you know what I mean? :P Nevertheless, I was more than happy and contented by his small act :) Then, here's the funniest part of all by the darlings at 12a.m sharp. All of them, being Joan, Sweez, Wan Wei and Yun Yi created a group chat on MSN and added me in and wished me altogether. That's not the end, Sweez started recording something and it turn out to be a Happy Birthday song, but the children's version of it. You know sometimes when you go to Chinese Restaurants, and if it's your birthday, they will have this really lame birthday song with lame MVs, yup it's just like that. I was practically laughing my head off. I was laughing so hard that I have to try laughing as soft as possible because the whole house was already sleeping.

On the day itself, I still have classes to attend and to me, I was already expecting that I'll just go home for the day after my class at 5p.m. since Sweez and Dee has their IT test the next day and Yun Yi has an assignment due the next day too. So, of course I wouldn't want them to sacrifice their time just to celebrate with me and I was thinking prolly after this week or something we'll go out and have a dinner. Went to class and Joan gave me my present and another small little gift from the whole gang. Haha

Alright the next part here, I copied and paste directly from my note in FB.

My 21st Birthday was great thanks to YOU

Warning: This whole note is full of repetition of the word, Thank You. Bear with me alright? :P

First let me clarify why is the YOU in caps and who am I referring too. I did not accidentally hit the caps key on my keyboard while I typed that, but it was on purpose. I just want to show how important the "you" are for making my 21st birthday a great one. And who am I referring too? It's none other than the FTR gang, especially Angel, Joan, Ke Li, Wan Wei, Shamla, Swee Zyee and Yun Yi.

I might not know how to show you guys how happy and touched I was yesterday, so I'm putting it in words because I think I expressed better in words. Hahah.. Thank you for taking time out and spend it on celebrating for me. I know how all of you are so stressed out with assignments, but yet you guys still take the time to celebrate with me. A very BIG thank you.

Although I can almost kind of see your surprises, hahah but nevertheless, I am still grateful for it. Well ok not too say that I wasn't surprise by all your plans alright. Haha..The first surprise was that when you all told me to stay and have dinner. That I seriously didn't expect since Sweez was supposedly to have her IT skill based test the next day and Yun Yi has an assignment due the next day too. So I really didn't want you all to waste time and spend it on me. Then the next one was the cake thingy. Haha I swear I didn't see the cake and don't worry I didn't hear what Joan said when you guys were scolding her for being so loud! Hahaha I was guessing that you guys must be discussing about cake and how to bring it out from the restaurant as I thought that they don't allow us to BYO cake. Haha I know I'm perasan, but I was almost right wert. Haha and so surprise number 2 was the cake. Didn't expect that at all. That little present that you guys got for me, hahah I know whenever we go Coles together, I'll always comment on how nice and cute it is and that I must buy it before I leave. So looks like now I don't have to buy it myself d huh. Haha thank you for that too.

And also not forgetting Yee Yen, who came all the way. Although we have to leave the place already as it's closing time, I really appreciate it that you made an effort to drop by! As for our "lou dao" a.k.a Swee Dee, I know what your priority are. Hahah And not forgetting the twins, I know you guys must have been working your ass off for AMR, but thank you for the wish.

Of course, this note is dedicated to all 7 of you to show you how much I appreciate what you all did for me. But that does not mean that I don't appreciate everyone else who wished me. Thank you everyone.

Haha that just made my life easier. Haha Oh and in case you're wondering, we went to this German restaurant, Lowenbrau Keller at The Rocks. And everyone had a very satisfying "all pig meal" haha or like what I called it in canton "G dai chan". LOL

All I want to say is that thank you everyone for your wishes, whether it's in FB or MSN or SMS. Thank you =)

2008-10-28T19:07:00.002+11:00

Wth..was on FB when I saw this at the top of my FB halaman utama

"Selamat Datang ke Facebook dalam Bahasa Melayu"

Haha clearly, being itchy hand, I went and click "Anda boleh menukar tetapan bahasa anda sekarang"

LOLL

2008-10-26T03:33:00.001+11:00

Right now, I am feeling so so so frustrated, irritated and tired. Thinking of uni work makes me really irritated every single time I think of it. Have you ever had this feeling where you really really despise and hate doing an assignment? You hate it so much that every single time you think of it you will feel so f up and irritated with it. And for me, this will be the moment where I wish I have the remote control that Adam Sandlers have in The Click and all I have to do is just fast forward it to finals and then I can skipped the agonising torture of doing my freaking banking assignment. Wtf. Well I still want to study for my finals you know. Wtf wtf wth wth. Aahh I know I've been saying this a zillion times by now, but I just can't wait for another exactly one month for my hoildays and exactly 7 more weeks till I head home. Anyway back to my frustration, thanks to retail therapy and my love(s), I had a really carefree day today.

I love you all to bits and pieces (:

Can someone tell me why and how can certain things change a person's perception on views on a thing that has never once been thought of before? I mean, well, to be honest, I am very surprise and is still surprise and puzzled bout some certain things. It's not that I am forbidding that person to do it nor am I despising it, not like I have the right to say no anyway, but it's just that, the mystery about it will still be a mystery for a long long time. I just don't know why I have this "feeling" thingy whenever it's mentioned. Am I just being plain selfish? Or am I just not looking at things broad enough because I am in my own little world and am not opening myself to accept certain things? At times, I will think, what if I never left? What if I'm still there? Then it would not happened, right? Yes I admit, I am still sulking about it.

Oh and I'm currently addicted to one of Jay's new song, 说好的幸福呢 :)

2008-10-24T17:47:00.005+11:00

Now, with only 7 weeks left before I leave this country for my summer holidays, I realised I have so little time left! Not that I'm not excited or complaining or don't want to go home or all hype up about going home, of course I am! In fact I can't wait to go home. The thing is just that, after these 7 weeks, I don't know when will be the next time the gang will be reunited again! We'll probably all end up going our seperate ways and might not be as close as how we are all now. Aih just thinking of it is enough to make me realised that I have to make full use of the time I have left with these people.

I definitely do not have exactly 7 full weeks here. From next weeks onwards I'm going to be so filled up with uni stuffs. 2 more assignments to hand in and that already occupy 2 weeks. Then right after that, I gotta start nerd-ing for my finals, with my first paper on the 13th of Nov right through to the 21st. Good thing is I only have 3 papers for finals this semester. Tee hee. After the 21st of November I'll be freeeeeee for year 2008 of uni! And it's hello to summer holidays for 3 months! Will be flying off to Gold Coast for 6 days and by the time I come back to Sydney, I will only have 11 days left before I head home. Can't wait can't wait. Ok and I know I'm contradicting myself once again. One minute I'm saying that I'm oh-so-sad about so little time left and the next minute I'm all so hype up about this whole thing. So which is which? I'm happy to go home but at the same time sad to say goodbye to the gang alright.

So with such a limited time, how do I make full use of it? (:

2008-10-22T23:22:00.002+11:00

I just found the wonders of opening up and talking bout the past to someone new. Sweet (:

2008-10-21T03:39:00.002+11:00

Boo. Guess what? I just failed myself again. Failed my very own focus-on-your-assignment-so-that-you-can-sleep-earlier-tonight test. It seems like I will never ever pass this 'test' and this will forever be one of my little failures in life. Haha. Like seriously wei. I really intended to finish off one part of my advertising assignment asap, and then poof off to my bed since I have an extremely early class tomorrow at 11a.m. But seeing that I'm still here and it's only half done, high chance that I will overslept and skip the lecture tomorrow. Yes yes I know, class at 11am is considerably late and shit me for complaining about it. The thing is, I am becoming lazier by the day and for me class in the afternoon is the best. I just can't drag myself out of the bed early in the morning. Now now, know what? Compared to the times I ponteng-ed class back in Msia and now over here, I think I've exceeded the amount of times I ponteng-ed classes from my first year to my second year. Serious shit. I've become a fan of ponteng class over here! bahhh

On the brighter side, with the Aussie dollar dropping so much these few weeks, heheh the temptation to go shopping has once again struck me. Hey, wait I've been a very very very good girl this semester you know. I shop less compared to the previous sem. So, yea pats myself on the back. Haha. Ok and now, with the AUD depreciating so much, I think I should reward myself to some retail therapy right??? Imagine, I just need to times 2.4 or 2.5 instead of 3! How good is that! Maybe I shall remind myself that money does not grow on trees and that I should save more.

Bah. Randomness.

2008-10-12T21:01:00.002+11:00

I've been letting myself slack so much when I'm staying at home the whole day. I can just face my lappie since the moment I wake up to the moment I close my eyes to dreamland. Oh and did I add? Sit in front and do nothing. If you were to ask me what have I done to pass my time, erm wait you need to give me some time to think back what did I actually do. Yes pleasetakeaknifeandkillme. It's not like I have no assignments to do, it's not like I have no due dates to meet, but yet, I rather choose to just do nothing and play sissy games, than to touch my assignments. Aih, really champion la when it comes to slacking. Clap clap for me please. Thank you. Wtf lame. The moment I came back from my little holiday to Canberra, I've been trying real hard to not think of what's gonna come in these two months. Let me tell you. Finals is coming along in another one month SHIT that's in 4 weeks, I just realised T.T. Ok sorry for the rudeness. Then not only that, I have 3 assignments due in these few weeks time and 1 being my major assignment because there's no finals for it, just plain assignment. So yeaa if my group fails to please the marker, then poof. Say hello again to that subject. And so no slacking and playing around so much starting from like, now all the way till end of November. Oh god I'm depressed.

2008-10-09T20:53:00.001+11:00

Reality check. I think I need to get back on track with reality and not just continue living in my own little carefree world as if I'm still in kindergarten. As quoted from OTH, it's time to get back into life and it all starts back with a simple question "What do you want?"

I want to believe that I've made the right choices doing what I'm doing now, that I'm walking on the right path and I still have time to fix the mistakes that I've made and cause so far.
I want to open up myself and let everyone knows what's eating inside me because I feel the guilt of keeping it inside me everyday and bring it with me where ever I go.
I want to be determine and make myself work really hard for the finals so that the repetition of last semester will not happened and I am going to see that it won't happened.

I get a little teeny tiny tinge of bitterness when I see people partying so much. I swear I party so so so much lesser than people of my age does, which is kinda pathetic. Or should I say I never party at all since I came here? Well not like I club a lot back in msia, and that is why, when I came here, I made a lill promise to myself. That is to make use of the freedom and club as much as I want. I know some of you might think, this is so not true, but to me, I love all these kinda things but yet I can never do it. I mean what's a life of a teenager without the wild side?? This is something that I regret never getting around in doing it at all.

Sometimes blog hopping makes me think of how unattractive I am. Yes, I do blog hop once in a blue moon, but I don't stalk people let me make myself clear. I will stumble upon people that I don't know, but yet they do attract me in a way. Their confidence, their prettiness, their sense of dressing, their style. Bah just everything. Why do these people look so perfect? Is like they are so flawless. Call me naive or don't believe in myself, because I do admit I don't.

Little things I myself do sometimes amuse myself. The determination and satisfaction. Like for the past two days, I walked all the way to the train station, which is a half an hour walk :) It makes me feel that I've worked my muscles and burned my fats away.

I've resulted to Google Translate so that I can read Chinese websites. Sometimes the translation turns out real funny because I think it's translated directly and so the language its a lill out. I'm now currently addicted to this website here, you know that Taiwanese woman's talk show that is shown in Astro channel 31? Yea, that website has products that is shown on the show. Aih, my infatuation for beauty products has struck me once again.

Why are some people so charismatic? They can find anything to talk anytime, anywhere and with anyone. It's like they have a whole database of topics inserted into their brains. I am never considered as a person who people like to talk to because I always end up being quiet after a few general things that we can talk with people I just know. So, in conclusion, people perceived me as a person who is unattractive to talk to and a person who is plain boring, when in fact I'm not!

2008-10-06T19:07:00.005+11:00

OMFG It's October already!! Which means:

1 month 1 week and 3 days,
5 weeks and 3 days
and
38 more days
TO FINALS

2 months and 5 days,
9 weeks and 5 days
AND
68 more days
TO HOME SWEET HOME for the Summer Holidays

Now that's random :)

2008-10-05T03:31:00.000+11:00

So as promised, I am seriously going to post a proper post after so long. Tee hee. Oh before that, let me warn you massive loads of pictures below on the road trip to Canberra. We're all quite hype up about the idea of driving over here is Aust. After all it's everyone's first time driving here, plus it's been 7 whole bloody months since we all drove. It's really funny because we have to good drvers who follows the law here, unlike in Malaysia, like you can't go way beyond your speed limit (note to us: summons are in aussie dollar, not ringgit!), you have to give way to pedestrians crossing, you have to give way to cars that wants to cut in , you must at least leave a considerably appropriate amount of gap with the car in front of you etc etc. Started off from Sydney quite late, around 3ish, and that's no surprise thanks to our usual procrastination on time management. Hehe

Doing what girls usually do :P

Stopped by one of the petrol stations for a pit stop

That's what you do when you are not driving and are bored in the car

Our dodgy accommodation, "motel" to be precise haha. Well that's what you get when you start looking for hotels 2 days before leaving for a holiday on a peak season!

Drove around at midnight and the whole place is so dead already. Stopped by the Parliament House, yup at midnight haha We were lucky enough to even stay there without being caught by the police for messing around at that hour. Haha

The next day, noodle cup was what we had for breakfast. Talking bout healthiness, pfft that we definitely failed. Haha Headed off to

The War Memorial:

The Parliament House:

Haha this picture reminds me of some formal obligated tour picture. Haha

Royal Australian Mint - where they manufactures Australian coins

And to The Floriade

Then we stopped by the National Museum, which does not looks like a museum at all for more pictures.

Finally, on the last day, went to Cockington Green, the place with all the miniatures and Questacon, the Australian version of Petrosains.

Left Canberra at around 7, reached Sydney and drove around the city and to North Sydney. Stopped by to see different views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, which we don't usually get to see without a car! Had dinner at an absurd hour, 2 a.m. to be precise and head off to Coogee Beach for the sunrise!

So that basically wraps up my whole trip. Crazy I would say, but fun and exciting! Click for the full set of pictures below:

Call us crazy, nuts, wild, mad, berserk, lunatic, fanatic, out of our mind, "sot sot dei", gila or anything else that you can think of that is related to crazy. This I have to blog about it just in case I lost my memory all of a sudden, and then I can read this back so that it'll remind me of how crazy we were back then :p. Just a short outline on what the heck I'm talking about here.

So I just came back from a 3 days 2 nights road trip to Canberra and a 1 night tour around Sydney. Or should I say our trip just ended this morning at 6.30 a.m. Lol. I would say, this trip is like a "lawatan sambil belajar ke Canberra". Hahah. You know, just like when we were back in primary school! It all started out really last minute and kind of impromptu. We were already planning to make a trip down to Canberra during our mid sem holidays, but till last Friday, everything was still planning and not confirmed. It all started on Saturday morning. Went our for dinner on Friday for Foo Keong's and Wai Keong's post birthday dinner, Karaoke after dinner till 2a.m. and continued our outing back in their room all the way till 6 in the morning, when the sun is way up high in the sky already. That was also the time when we made reservations for our car and hotel at 5 in the morning!

Then on Sunday, off we head to Canberra, which is a 3 hours drive from Sydney. 10 people, 2 cars. By the time we reached on Sunday, it was almost dinner time. Had steamboat for dinner, food supplies brought from Sydney. Drove around Canberra city at midnight and made our first conclusion, Canberra is so dead.

The next day was touring day.Visited the War Memorial, The Parliament House (where we get to enter as escorted visitors :p), The Australian Mint, The Floriade (which is kind of like the main reason for our trip), The National Museum and again, driving around in the middle of the night with no destination. On our last day, we checked out and visited Cockington Green and Questacon, which is like our Petrosains back in KL, but this is so much more fun. Now you see why I say it's a lawatan sambil belajar because it's so freaking educational. Had our so called lunch before leaving Canberra at 7p.m. Made our way back to Sydney and reached by 10.30p.m and that's when our Sydney night tour started! Drove to the north side of Sydney where we stop by 2 places to see different views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and Manly Beach. By the time we were done, hunger struck us and had dinner at 3a.m! All this are already crazy enough. But, we just have to make full use of the car before returning it today. Our next destination was to drive to Coogee Beach in the East side of Sydney to watch the sunrise. And I am so proud to say that yes we accomplished our mission to watch the sunrise which was beautiful!! Finally, at 6 in the morning, all this must come to an end and home was our next and last destination.

Though I must admit it was dead tired, it was so much fun. Man, I'm sleepy and tired again although I slept from 10 to 7pm just now!! Pictures will be up in the next post. Till then (:

2008-09-24T20:24:00.001+10:00

This 2 weeks, which was filled with an individual assignment and mid sem exams after has brought chaos to my room! Papers flying everywhere, highlighters and colour pens lying everywhere on my study table, biscuits and chocolates plastic lying on the floor just because I'm too lazy to move my fat arse to the dustbin, which is like 5 steps away from my table. Shame on me. Shame on me.

So right now, I'm gonna declare a short holiday for the rest of the week before dedicating all my time during mid sem holidays next week to assignment. Hehehe. Just a short note on what I'll be doing: Shopping (which I haven't done in months, yes I am serious) at Parramatta, Bondi Junction, Chatswood, DFO and Ikea, roadtirp to Canberra for the Floral Festival, here I comeeeeee

2008-09-22T03:52:00.000+10:00

Ok let me make myself clear.

I am not that kind of person who likes to hold grudges nor am I those kind who likes to bitch about that person if that person treats me what I don't deserve to be treated. I am not that kind of person who will start thinking of ways to take my revenge on a person who treats me with the kind of attitude that I so totally do not deserve to be treated at. I am just ranting and trying to understand human's behaviour which I obviously failed because till today I still cannot understand how some people are like that. Just blogging about it for the sake of everyone who has experienced this before. Haha

Humans are just such a hypocrite sometimes. I am not saying that I am fully 100% not hypocrite. I'm sure everyone has a tad of that characteristics in their blood, which is acceptable. But, what I'm talking about is a person who is well, maybe not 100% but 90% a total obvious hypocrite and I really mean O.B.V.I.O.U.S. Days when you have nothing that benefits him/her, you will be treated as if you do not exist. Days when you are highly needed, you will be treated as if you are the queen of savior. When I mean treat you as if you do not exist, you really are invincible to her/him. You might be standing just next to him/her, or in between him/her and another person, but in the eyes of him/her you do not exist. No eye contact, no recognition, just like as if you are a ghost, where he/she can't see you. Even if she/he turns to your direction, you are being ignored. Yup, total ignorance. When he/she needs something from you, you are the suddenly "friends" back with her/him. He/she will come and talk to you or SMS or chat with you through MSN all of a sudden with such a nice and sweet tone. And it's proven, whenever there's a message from that person, it's for obvious reasons. That is he/she needs something.

Don't worry, despite all this, I do not hate that person or anything, which is well quite surprisingly. All these kind of issues, I hear from other people telling me and how they are pissed off, but now that I experienced it myself I'm surprise that I do not have any feelings towards it. Haha Just a little bit of unpleasant feeling I felt which turns into "ahh whatever" kinda feeling. I hope I'm not as hypocrite as how the person is.

Disclaimer: This post is just some random thoughts that I have in mind

Alright, gotta go and sleep before the sky starts to bright at 5.30am!

2008-09-21T13:19:00.006+10:00

I always intend to blog about whatididandwhathappenedtome kinda post. It's been a long since I do that. I think it just proves that I am indeed getting lazier as I grow older. The thing is, every time I start blogging about it, I always end up saving it as a draft, which will then be forgotten and new posts started to push it further down on my list of post, or end up just deleting it. Aih lazy lazy me. And now, I am starting to feel lazy despite the fact that my first mid sem paper is in 2 days time. I should say that I'm lucky that I only have 2 papers, both banking papers. But, this does not stop me from being more efficient and productive with my studies. I still take that long to finish one lecture and I still get distracted with the urge to blog, like now. I still get distracted to go on fb once a while to play word challenge or I still get tempted to watch episode 38 of the Moonlight Resonance drama. Yup, I'm still a huge fan of HK dramas. Weather this 3 days are crazy. Friday it was 27 degrees, then it went up to 31 on Saturday and today it drop back to 23 degrees. Or is it natural that weekends are meant to be hotter cos that's what happened last weekend. Knowing that it's so hot, I of course took the opportunity to wear my shorts and skirt, without my tights!! So it's like h-e-l-l-o shorts and my long hidden legs under jeans and tights!

Alright another pointless post here. Sorry, I've wasted your time by reading this.

2008-09-17T21:10:00.001+10:00

Because it's been 2 years, I just need to blog about it because I'm proud of it :P

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Dearie (:

2008-09-14T23:31:00.000+10:00

I celebrated Mid Autumn Festival in Spring!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival people (:

2008-09-12T02:57:00.002+10:00

You know, I was browsing my Women's Health magazine when I came across this very interesting article that reads "Too much of a good thing - How to tell if you're taken the healthy stuff in life too far". One of it is how to tell if you're shopping too much. Here goes:

Signs of a super-sick shopper are bla bla bla until I stumble across this line: "..clothes in your closet with the price tags still attached.." G.u.l.p How come that sounds like..me? Ohmigosh. Wth

In case you're wondering, I've not turn into a health conscious person just because everyone says that I've gained weight. I was just looking for ads for my assignment alright.

2008-09-12T01:08:00.002+10:00

After 7 months, now is the time when the sickness struck me. Homesick. Yes, the impact is slowly biting and eating inside me now. I.am.missing.home.so.badly. I want to be back to my own comfy house, my own comfy bed, the family's love, and the boyfriend's arms ): Now, instead of counting the days since I've been here, it is now transformed into counting the days till I leave for home. I know I'd always complained that back home everything's bad. But now, it looks like I'm missing Malaysia. Food: Mamak, char kuay teow, granny's cooking, chicken rice (although I used to complain when my mum always suggest that to ta pau for me for lunch), ramadhan bazaar, ku-cheong's curry laksa, ku-che's pineapple tarts, nasi lemak, chee cheong fun, pan mee, yee mee, the "dai chau" in not so fancy restaurants, yong tau foo, sai mai lou, fah sang wu, satay (satays over here somehow cannot be compared with msian standard), indian rojak, chinese rojak, cendol, lin chi kang, secret recipies, bakerzin, kim gary, keropok lekor and the list goes on. Baahh sulking.

3 months and 2 days more baby (:

P/s: I'm not depress ok. (Just for you Dee, if you ever ever stop by my blog and read this, although chances are low :P)

2008-09-11T16:38:00.002+10:00

Be-early birthday pressie (:

This is from my ku-che when I was in Melb during winter break!

And this..

is from my two besties, Wee Ki and Sham! Thanks babes!!

Not too bad eh, although I'm all the way over here, I still get pressies from people I love. Haha

2008-09-07T02:29:00.001+10:00

I guess I am never good at keeping in touch and keeping friendships with people. Sigh

2008-09-06T11:37:00.001+10:00

My my, wondering what am I doing at this hour on a Saturday? At this time, my normal Saturday mornings are meant for me to sleep in till 1. Plus with the gloomy weather, it should give me more reason to continue sleeping, instead of waking up so early. Initially, I actually have plans with the girls, but thanks to the moody and gloomy weather, all of us got lazy and decided to forgo the plans. Isykk it's been raining since yesterday morning all the way through to now. Wtf. I guess staying home today won't turn out beneficial for me, although it's suppose to be beneficial. So many things lying around waiting for me to complete i.e. my individual journal for AMR, my advertising promo plan which is due is 2 weeks time and mid sem exams coming up in another 3 weeks. and thank you again to the rainy weather, it's making me damn lazy. Thank you very much Mr. weather.

Oh and on another note, I'll be home in another 3 months!! Counting the days till I'm home sweet home. Yea by the sound of it, I'm kinda experiencing the homesick thingy. My comfy bed, well not to say that the bed that I'm sleeping on now is not comfortable, but you know, your own things are always the best tee hee, granny's cooking i.e her assam laksa, assam chicken, tom yam etc etc..yumm just the thought of it can make me feel hungry! Ahh how I missed KL's food. I'll be back :P And and know what? I know this sounds insane, but I'm already starting to think of stuffs to bring back end of the year! Alright call me obsessive.

Omg am I starting to feel sleepy? Wth stupid weather. Off to get some things done now, hopefully.

2008-08-11T23:43:00.008+10:00

Today is a weird day, or so I thought. Reached Central and as I was walking out I was stopped by this girl from some blind foundation to do some survey. The thing is, I usually bullshit all the way to get away from all this obligations. My best excuse is, "I'm sorry but I'm running late. I have a class to catch, err like now". But no, I, for some reason, was being nice and I continued entertaining her. Look, the only reason that I can possibly think of me acting that way is because I know that I am going to be one of them when I do my fieldwork in the next few weeks. So, I guess that's just an unthinkable act out of sympathy. Oh oh and I declared myself as 21 but I was rejected from that survey because I'm not officially 21. Haha, now who says that I can't declare myself as still 20?

***

These few days has been frustrating when it comes to bedtime. I sleep at 4a.m. but yet I am still energetic. I would lay around on my bed for a good half an hour before dozing off. In that torturing half an hour, all sorts of thoughts will start blurring my mind. Regrets, lies, frustration, guilt and all sorts of ridiculous thoughts. There's even once when I was thinking bout home so much that I wished that I am back home right now.

***

Just the other day, I'd finally got the alert that I am so hoping to not see forever on my mobile, which is somehow rather, impossible. My Inbox was 95% full. See, the truth is that, I hate deleting messages. Every message means something to me. I know, it's rather lame to say that. Not only messages with lovey dovey stuffs from the boyfriend that I keep. Even simple and random messages means something that I love reading back once in a while. Like when FK and I were sms-ing about the shemale in the library, or when Sweez was sms-ing me telling me to msg her when I got home, for safety precautions or she'll call the police. Haha. I'm just that kind of person who loves keeping stuffs, for memory's sake.

***

And I realised, I've been talking lesser lately. Why? I don't know. I just feel..different. It's just that something is holding me back and I feel some distance in between. That, I'll figure out but just not yet. Great, I was suppose to learn and try opening myself more, but now, again I'm having that unsecured feeling. I.don't.like.it.

2008-08-07T01:44:00.006+10:00

There I go again missing. Just a summary of what happened since my last post, the semester has already started for 2 weeks, 1 month of winter break gone just like that and July has been an interesting and a fun filled month. Fun filled because I practically spent my whole winter break, about 3 weeks to be precise in Melbourne with people I love. The first week with the same bunch of crazy people that I bonded with over here and the remaining weeks with my family (: Alright, maybe not quite fun filled towards the end of the month, more of tragic filled, bad karma started to hit me. I reckon I've been put on a curse since I came here!! Wtf. I've already been hit by a few bad luck since I came here and now, the latest one is the worst. Nuff said.

Anyways bout Melbourne, I had a massive whole lot of fun. The people, the place, the food and the list goes on. In short, Melbourne was fun fun fun. In fact I fell in love with the place that I was thinking damn why didn't I come to Melbourne instead. Hahah well, I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. So as I said, spent the first week there with the gang and the remaining weeks with my family. Both were equally great in a way. With my aunties, uncles and cousins, I felt like as if I'm back in Msia with family and their love and coziness all around. With the gang, I felt appreciative because technically it's my first time going on a holiday with a whole group of friends. Yes, damn pathetic I know! But seriously, getting to know them and to know them even better and getting closer with each other really makes me appreciate this whole friendship a lot. That's truly from my heart wei, not bs-ing here. Haha Back to the topic, I had a few first times there. Don't think the other side please. I had the best durian ice cream ever, I went for my first skiing trip, I went to "some" club for the first time (:P) etc etc.

Pictures up later in the next post. Right now, I find photo bucket's new features interesting! Hahah gonna play with it for a while. Till then!

2008-07-18T20:21:00.000+10:00

Good-bye Melb and hello back to Sydney ):

Yup I'm back from my 2 and the half weeks vacation in Melb. Updates later.

2008-07-01T03:22:00.000+10:00

The first few days after your last paper are usually spent loitering around and this equals to sleep deprived. During exams, I wished that I can get more sleep, but now that exam's over, I still get insufficient sleep. Why you must be wondering. It's just simply because I spent more time going outside rather than to stay home and get back my sleep. And can you believe it, we actually went to the zoo on Friday! Yup I know a bit too old for that kinda thing right. Haha but it was alright except that it gets a lill boring at the end. The difference with going to the zoo in Malaysia and Sydney is that over here, you don't get sweaty and all. In fact you need to wear a jacket to the zoo! Now that's the difference. Haha On Saturday, we went to the Fish Market second time around. So totally missed all the sashimi and the fresh lobster over there. Anyway, I'll be off to Melbourne tomorrow for the next three weeks. Goodbye to Sydney for the next 3 weeks and Melb, here I come!!

2008-06-25T03:21:00.004+10:00

It's currently 6 degrees now. My hands and feet are freezing, which are now driving me to the slacking direction. 4 more chapters to go before my paper on Thursday and I've been in the same chapter since, like what? 12a.m.? Ask me what have I studied and I'll answer you 3 words: I don't know. I hate freezing hands! Wearing gloves seems to be a solution, but it's gonna be so distracting and a little too troublesome to study and write with the gloves on. Gah wtf I've just wasted another 10 minutes typing this. Talk to me about self discipline please.

2008-06-23T02:21:00.000+10:00

Exams makes people unhealthy. Besides torturing my puny brain and my brain cells and extracting all the energy out of me, it makes me have late night unhealthy snacks.

Nuff said.On another note, yes I gained weight. omfg it's so true that you tend to eat more in the cold weather. T.T My food cravings had never stopped. It's like an ongoing routine from the moment I open my eyes for the day till I close my eye again, indicating it's the end of the day. I need self food control.

2008-06-21T01:27:00.002+10:00

Sometimes you will forget how does it feel to have friends around you when you'd studied too much, where books substitute itself as your "best friend"(NOT), or when it's been days since you get together and talk all you want. That's how I felt after yesterday and today. Well it's not like it's been ages since I last met them, as in people who (self proclaimed) fuck the rules, crappers and blow water-ers, but that few days is enough to make me realize that it was good to be with them again and also reminds me that it was that fun and comfy being with them. And also it was the best time ever to de-stress with exams in betweens.

Guess it must be the effect of having friends as your only closest person over here. You tend to miss them when you don't see them as often as when before exams. Being around good friends do helps in lifting up your mood. Haha

2008-06-17T20:51:00.004+10:00

So I'm halfway through my exams. Which means I'm left with 2 marketing papers, one this Thursday and the next one next Thursday and goodbye to semester 5. It gets pretty draggy with the one week gap in between papers as I tend to get really lazy to get myself to study. What have I been doing since my last paper last Thursday? Let me tell you. On Friday till Sunday, I was helping my 2 besties shifting house. So that's 3 days gone. Then yesterday and today was wasted just watching tv and pondering around my lappie. My routine was, getting out of bed at 1p.m, eat, tv, dramas, clicking here and there on my laptop, dinner and more dramas. And also I've been trying to clean the house, namely wiping kitchen and bathroom counters, putting plates away after washing, vacuuming the floor. Sadly, my routine has been revolving around that few things. wtf. I might as well just quit uni and be a cleaner and a slacker since I'm so good at it. (self proclaim =P, note: this is not something to be proud of aite)

As for this Thursday's paper, my DMM paper is like prolly the most carefree paper ever. It's open book and all you do is just go in and copy what you have. Study is not the appropriate word for this subject's paper. It's more of "study = rearranging and tagging all your answers" for this paper. Shit. Maybe that's why I feel soo freaking relax.

Alright time to continue my dramas and well, hopefully I'll get some reading done before I sleep.

Oh and sidetracking a lill, just so you know,
Happy 21st Month, taixianken (:

2008-06-12T00:39:00.002+10:00

Can somebody freaking tell me what has this gotta do with finance?

Screw you econometrics. I'll probably gonna sacrifice you if it ever comes out in the paper tomorrow!

2008-06-09T22:29:00.002+10:00

I look again at my notes for the trillion times. Tell myself, "You should be alright. You've covered all the lectures told by the lecturer and all tutes relating to it are all done." Well well, I guess I should be alright, I hope. I'm almost on the verge of stopping myself to look at my black and white printed notes, for good. Seeing that I'm blogging here, yes I think I'm gonna keep everything and put my poor puny brain to rest.

First paper tomorrow. D.I.E. M.a.t.i-lah. S.e.i-lah.

And you know what? At this time around, everywhere is beginning their stock take sales. T.T I told Sham about it and she asked me back what to buy? Well..ok she has a very good point there. It's not like I have anything in particular to buy, I'll prolly end up spending money on unnecessary stuffs. Gah the oniomania in me just have to arise in times like this.

Alrighty. Gotta pray for the best for tomorrow's paper. Till then (:

2008-06-08T03:09:00.002+10:00

Yes I am studying really hard alright.

2008-06-02T18:27:00.002+10:00

Sadly it's already end of the week and since my last post, I would say that well I think I had enough of fun. I still remember the last time I had finals, I was telling myself man that will be my last time having finals in Msia and then the next finals I will be in Aussie. And now, here I am. Talking about how time flies. Please, I don't need a reminder.

So I attended this International End of Semester Party on Thursday night and it was good. Then on Friday, once again, we went for free food by UTS in conjunction with UTS's 20th anniversary.

Say yess to free food!!
And at night, we had our very own mini end of semester party/picnic. Tee hee.

On Saturday, I was suppose to go for a revision class and then to a photography workshop. But then, due to my laziness and my freaking weak willpower, I slept through till afternoon. T.T Blame the weather. Hate the fact that I actually am skipping more things over here simply because I give in to my sleep. And that happens a few times already. Stupid weather here makes it so much nicer to sleep.

So that's all for my mini pre-finals enjoyment. Till then (:

2008-05-29T16:33:00.005+10:00

I'm declaring hiatus for the rest of this week before starting my 1 month finals war. Gonna enjoy all I want for the rest of the week. Taataa ppl =P

2008-05-21T03:04:00.002+10:00

And I'm finally done with this show. (= (=
This show is good, in the sense that it can potentially make you cry without realizing it.
Give you a good reason to cry too without a reason.
Well it suited me for the last few days due to me being damn emo already plus watching the show gives me even better reason to cry. (Oh at least it makes it look as if I'm not so pathetic to cry alone in the night)

Ok lar..the ending was not as depressing as I thought it would be.

Typical love dovey kinda show, but nice in a way too.

2008-05-20T23:30:00.003+10:00

I had this really sudden strong urge to do something. Never thought that I will actually have this feeling until now. I.want.to.go.back.home.during.my.one.month.winter.break. T.T I missed everything back home ;(

2008-05-17T20:55:00.001+10:00

Dear bloggie,

It's a wonder how after 20 months, we still find each other's humor interesting and are still tolerating with each other's sarcasm. Though there are times when I complained that he's irritating me too much when in fact I am actually the one who irritates him more. xP Owwh I missed moments like when he surprises me with something or when both of us laughs at stuffs that we find it silly and funny.

Just for the boyfriend,

Happy 20th Month, (:

2008-05-09T19:37:00.004+10:00

Guess what? There's only 3 weeks remaining in the semester. OMG. Seriously, time is passing by too fast. Knowledge gained = ZERO. It feels like it was just a few weeks ago that I've started a new semester and now poof its almost the end of it. Maybe I'd always complain every semester, but this time round, it just feels so so much faster. Finals in a months time and there's still 2 assignments yet to be due in the same week in two weeks time.

Talking about assignments, I had one of the worst experience ever in MPS assignment. Nothing to be proud of, but I myself was amaze by how I manage to do it. 12p.m. last Friday was the dateline for it and I was up for 38 hours, since Thursday morning. And the weirdest part was that after submitting my assignment, I still wasn't feeling tired at all, in fact I was darn relieved and energetic that I even went bumming and fooling around in:
Ikea after that, till after dinner, went home and was still not feeling sleepy. I guess I had overworked my body.

The picture btw, was suppose to "show" that we were at home, but clearly it failed because of all the price tags dangling everywhere.

2008-05-06T18:30:00.000+10:00

This,

is the reason why I'm always dreading LDR, because as much as both of us are close to each other in the heart, this is the closest that you can get physically. =/

Uni's Definition:
Mid Sem Break = Assignment Week

Wuei Yunn's Definition:
Mid Sem Break = Holidayyyy

Yeappp I've been spending my mid sem break doing retail therapy, hanging around, eating etc etc. And all this equals to spending money. I'd never done so much shopping before in a week's time, no no it's within 4 days, even back in Malaysia. A little too much I guess (I know it's too late to realise that isn't it?), that now I have 7 new tops, a new thighs, a new bag, socks and even got myself a new perfume. That was an impulse purchase. I swear I'd never decide so fast when it comes to buying perfume. Gahh. Wait, I've not mentioned that the tops that I bought are all dirt cheap, right? Some of it are 2 pieces for 5 bucks, 2 for 10 bucks. And and it's not like the quality are cheapos type.

A round up of my 1 week break because it will be too b.o.r.i.n.g to elaborate every single thing that I did.

Last Week:
Thursday right after CFTP paper - Dinner at Madang, a Korean BBQ Restaurant and catching up session at Lindt's Cafe by Darling Harbour

Friday - Steamboat plus minum at Gumal's Rooftop, stayed over at Yee Yen's

Saturday - Went to Auburn for Nike's and Adidas's factory outlet.

This week:

Monday - Sydney Fish Market. And it spells f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c

Tuesday - Homebush Factory Outlet; and that's when my excessive shopping starts. Even went to Ikea, but we were there 5 minutes before closing time. Wan Wei and I manage to make it on time before the person there stops the rest of them from entering. Oh oh and dinner was at this really exclusive Chinese Restaurant. Kinda like Oriental or Chuai Heng back in M'sia. But surprisingly, the price was reasonable.

Thursday - Shopping, yes again, at Parramatta's Westfield. Rewarded myself again with the new bag. Yea yea I know, it's excuses to reduce my level of guilt for spending so much. Haha

And so that's about it. 2 assignments waiting for me. So long for my Mid Sem break. Good bye mid sem break.

Till then (:

Tucked warmly under my blankets (it's blanket with the s bcos it's cold) and was preparing to get myself some sleep until my brain decided to send some emotional impulses to my emotional side and bombard me with millions of thoughts.

I asked myself, is this the way that you want to be? Or is it because that's how everyone sees you, that's how your parents think you are, and so you're staying like that? What happened to your resolutions when you are here wueiyunn? Don't you want to be like how you want to be? To be how you wished to be? Stop being so indecisive. You have (must) to do something. I look at myself in the mirror and it never show what's inside me, just the outside. Pointless. Stop looking at other people and envy them and wished that you were like that. If you want to be like any of them, do something. Try making an effort. Most importantly open up yourself more. Nobody's gonna bloody know what you really are thinking if you stay in your own little world.

Alrighty. Get some sleep WueiYunn. Tomorrow's gonna be a better day.

2008-04-12T03:03:00.002+10:00

Oh damnit. It's so damn true that when I am not suppose to be doing all this internet distractions (note: FB, blogging), I tend to have such high interest to do it. Dang. So, here's the time again to start complaining yada yada, except that this time it's different because I'm in another part of the world. Woah big deal =P. Mid sem exams coming up next week. And will be a little busy for the next few weeks. Finally, cwy, you've reach these days after enjoying yourself for soo long. Boo. It does makes me worried you know. 2 assignments due on the same week, a marketing plan and a marketing analyzing report. Not that I'd never tried before in my previous semesters. Anyhooo, I did another round of shopping again last Tuesday. Talking about self control. I'm bad at it. But but it's because there's sales and the stuffs are wickedly cheap. It comes to the point where if you don't buy, you'll regret. Haha ok maybe that's a lill bit too exaggerating. Oh and I found my new love: Yiruma. His songs are goood. That is if you like instrumental. Damn emo too. Thanks Ken ;) Another thing is that I generally missed KL. Mamak, 1U, MV, nasi lemak. Just to name a few.

Ok this is another pointless post. Sorry for wasting your time reading this. Hoho. Tata people ;)

2008-04-06T02:01:00.001+10:00

So we were all talking about the future, marriages and can't-get-along-with-mother-in-laws issue. Well, it may sound a lill too early to be talking about it, but it's just something that we enjoy imagining, especially when you put 3 girls together to talk. Thinking about myself, I think I'm already starting off pretty well. Tee hee.

That is pretty random I suppose.

Tata people ;)

2008-04-02T03:13:00.000+11:00

Ooh I so happen to come out with a line today, and I'm kind of getting obsessed with it.

"The fool who got fooled 2 years ago"

Yup in case you're wondering, the fool's me (:

2008-03-23T17:51:00.030+11:00

I know I'm gone for almost a month already. But I have my reasons alright. My internet's been on and off for I don't know what reason and now it's finally back to normal. Now I'm left with so many things to update and I tend to get real lazy to update on soo many things. To be honest, now bit by bit I'm starting to feel the impact of going out so much over here. One, is definitely the amount of money I've been spending on going out since I came here. Oh and one of the common question that I get nowadays is "Wah are you here for study or for a holiday?" Definitely everyone gets the latter impression.

So, I'm gonna turn back time to 3 weeks back, that is the 8th of March. Headed to the beach, Maroubra Beach to be precise. MASA had this free BBQ and so we went only because it's freee. Tell you one thing, all of us had this newly develop interest, that is we have a really strong fetish for free food. Haha well who doesn't right?? Tee hee. Proud of it. Fullstop. (= Back to the beach, the beach's fine overall. One good thing about this beach is that there's definitely much lesser people than in Bondi. But we still prefer the crowd.

More pictures here.

Then we wanted to do this infamous jumping picture and this is how we ended up. Thanks to the twins to be our *erhem* picture director. Haha

And finally after millions of attempts

Then on Friday the following week, the usual bunch of us visited Star City (Note, our intention was to visit). Obviously as you can guess, we did more than visiting and even became members just because it was free. Yada yada. But we are good girls and boys aite. We know our limits. =P

Well, all of us were being jakuns.
Msg to our parents: "Mommy, Daddy, we're big boys and girls now xP"

Next we had Wan Wei's Surprise Birthday plan on the following Sunday. Technically our plan was to bring her to Hurricane's Grill & Bar in Bondi, but they were fully booked. Ended up in Kelly's Bar & Grill and spent the evening before dinner in Bondi Beach. On her birthday morning itself, we surprised her with a cake while she's still in dreamland. Tee hee. Sorry too lazy to upload pictures.

Click here to see more.

And it was Good Friday the day before yesterday. Everywhere was close on Good Friday and so all of them came over to my place. On Easter Saturday, we made our way to Port Stephen. We stopped by Hunter Valley before heading to our dolphin watch, which was actually the main intention. The dolphin watch was oh-so-not-worth-it. Seriously. We couldn't see a single shit. Oh no wait, yea we did saw a dolphin, but it was just like for a milliseconds. So not worth our money! Then after that, we headed to this sand boarding place. Even this is more worthwhile to go than the dolphin watch.

Hunter Valley

Dolphin Watch

Sand boarding which was fun fun fun!

Go to my facebook to see the complete set of pictures because seriously I'm really lazy to upload it all over here. Looks like my update is almost there. Going to Easter Show tomorrow. Will be back with more updates, hopefully. Till then (:

2008-03-17T01:15:00.004+11:00

It's funny how some of us are all from different groups of friends back in Taylors, where we were not even near to being hi-bye friends. And now, we are all a group of crapping people, who laughs, craps, gossips and talks all sorts of crappy things like nobody's business over here. One thing that I feel truly blessed is to know all of them. They had never fail to make me laugh since the day I know them and thank you for making everyday a sunny day for me. (=

Yes yes lala post xP so??

Haha macam emo giler xP

2008-02-25T17:58:00.015+11:00

*backdated*
I am so dreading to get out of bed this morning. Almost 3 months of pure enjoyment and doing pure brainless activities has to all comes to an end. T.T My first lecture was, how should I describe it? Oh yea the lecturer was extremely monotonous and this of course isn't such a good news at all. Cause sooner or later, I know, I just know that he will put me to sleep. Serious shit. That boring.

The past whole week had been spent touring around the city. Monday and Tuesday was spent settling our uni stuffs. Wednesday, we headed to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay, where the Harbour Bridge and the Opera house are. On Thursday we did nothing much, just walked around Chinatown, which was oh-so-~~not~~-impressive, and later took a walk along the city and stopped by QVB. Saturday was one hell of an experience - The Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach walk took us almost 4 hours. But the scenery was fantastically beautiful. Another thing that kept us all entertained along the way was some ridiculous "spotting game" (insider's joke =P ask me about it) invented by the twins, just to get their free meals. All in all, the walk was tiring, but not regretting it (: And not forgetting Sunday. We went down to the Harbour again, but this time with the intention of catching a glimpse of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth 2. Apparently it's a big thing. Haha QE2's gonna retire and this will be her last stop. I guess all of you will expect me to say "Wow, the cruises are really huge and beautiful. Really hope that one day I will be able to go on board one." And yup that's exactly what's my answer gonna be. Tee hee. We even walked all the way to this place called Mrs Macquaries Point where we can see the "meeting up" of the 2 cruises for the last time. Haha sounds so human-ish to me. Lol. Basically that's about it for the first week and as usual pics below.

More pics here

Bondi pics are not really complete yet. Still waiting for pics from twins and Wan Wei.

And more pics here. Enjoy (:

Jay's Concert. Sob sob );

2008-02-21T04:50:00.000+11:00

Helloo people!! I'm finally all the way down under and I'm lower than all of you, geographical wise. (: Weather's good here. Everything's good. Practically I'm all settled down and yea been walking around the city today. To be precise, I'd been doing lots of walking for the past 2 days. From this campus to another campus, from uni back to Yee Yen's place back and fro. Exhausting I would say. But anyhow, everything's settled now and this means that it's traveling time!! Tee hee. And somehow I guess I'm still not use to the time yet. I was dead tired and sleepy yesterday that I accidentally slept on the couch in uni!! Takes some time though.

As everything's settled, a bunch of us made a short trip down to Darling Harbour and then to Circular Quay, where The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Bridge are. Then headed to the other side, The Rocks, to have dinner at Pancakes On The Rocks and it was good. Will upload pics soon I promise. Right now I'm too tired. Ta people! (:

2008-02-17T19:17:00.000+11:00

So this is it. Everything packed. Bags all locked. Double and triple checking to make sure that I've not left anything behind. And so it's goodbye to my home of 20 years and helloooo Sydney (; (:

2008-02-13T00:13:00.007+11:00

Nope I did not abandon my blog ok. For once since the first day of CNY I'd been home the whole day. Well CNY was pretty normal. Somehow rather I'm not at all feeling really really excited about CNY. Don't ask me why because I'm still trying to figure that out. Come and go just like that with the usual activities. Like gambling. Tee hee. Speaking of that, it started off pretty well but then my luck turned the other way round. T.T Also this year, I'd cut out a lot on "bai lins". So which means less angpows.

Let me start off with "Chor Yat", in other words the first day of CNY. Visited the neighbour as usual and then it's off to my "mama's" place. FYI, my hometown is non other than KL. So, yep no balik kampung experience for me. Tea drinking session for my "mama" and "dai pak", mahjong (I'm more familiar with playing "rami", don't know the exact spelling, but well it's pronounce like that) cum gambling sessions, yearly CNY photo sessions, nibbling on CNY cookies are the usual things that I did. Some pictures on Chor Yat.

She was on demand that day as we quote her the "dai cheong gum" aka Jewel in the Palace wannabe

Cousins (=

Was trying out my mini tripod. Not bad eh.

Chor Yi had lunch appointment at Holiday Villa and was spent in my "mama's" place after that again because it's "hoi lin" or is it "lin"?? Anyway it's the day when all the daughters come back to their mother's place. More or less like that. Correct me if I'm wrong. (: So we had our usual "lou sang" and the big feast during dinner and after dinner 20 of us went for CJ7, the Chan's family norm - yearly CNY late night movie norm. I would rate it 4/10. Not exactly my type of show though.

Lunch

Lou Sang.

Better post up a picture of her before she merajuk =P

Chans and Chens :P

Chor 3 and 4 was spent on "bai lins" with family. And then slowly, routine was back to normal. Gotta run now as friends are here d. Till then (:

2008-02-09T06:19:00.000+11:00

Surprise surprise (= Supposely, by now I should be flying halfway through the Indian ocean all the way down under. But nope I'm not. I'm still sitting down on my comfy computer chair, typing this on my laptop, wearing my PJs, almost getting ready to sleep. Nah don't worry. I didn't miss the flight or any other nonsensical reasons that you can think of me missing the flight. It's just that I postponed my departure date to the 17th of Feb (: Well orientation (which at this point of time, I feel that it's just so not important to me anymore) only starts officially on the 18th, so obviously I changed the date and forked out 150bucks all by myself to change my date (may I mention that at the same time I was kinda pissed at uni for posting up the orientation schedule so late!! Roarr).

So far, CNY's been pretty good although I'm not so hype up about it. Good thing about CNY is the get together, the gamblings tee hee, the mahjongs, the angpows and that's about it. Will blog about it soon, I promise.

For now Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

Mann I am getting really tired!! :)

Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Award 2007

2008-01-31T06:59:00.000+11:00

Picking up from the previous post, as I was saying we stop by the concourse area to see some promo thingy and Lam Fung was suppose to be there. In fact, that's the main motive for us to stay a while and see. But sadly, he couldn't make it because apparently his flight got delayed wtf. T.T Anyhow, we still get to see Kevin Cheng though I'm not a very big fan of him. Tee hee.

Kawan baik I, who was there to see Lam Fung also

Later on, we went out through the main entrance and saw the red carpet for the award thingy and saw the Astro host for some shows..

W. Ging, May Jean and Sarah stayed for the red carpet while I went home since I have ticket from Ken for the show.

Our seats was just 3 rows away from the stage!! Tee hee

Some kinda briefing thingy before the show starts

The "action" thingy

Opening of the show

On my side of the stage =P

The ending.
And finally (:

I seriously have damn a lot of pics of Lam Fung, but sadly all of his pics are blur!! Gggrrr it's just that every time I want to take his pic, it'll turn out to be blur unlike other pics!! T.T Suddenly I wish that my Canon has the double anti blur feature!! And thanks for the very logical and convincing comment Ken, about how it's fated that I am not meant to take his pic and yada yada. The evil bf of mine!

The show lasted for about 2 hours plus. Performance was so so only, quite lame as usual and some of the movie buff people were quite lame man, like seriously. There's even one who dressed up as a chef..in Taylors's uniform!!! xD At first when I saw her earlier outside the convention center, I thought she was there to help out some food catering stuffs, but then she went up on stage and I was like wtf man!! Haha.. Then during commercial, there's even a "choy san" who came out to give angpows with Pensonic cash vouchers inside! xD All in all, as a first timer attending this kinda live shows, I have to say it's a good one though.

Till then ;)

Quiksilver Revolution Tour 2.0

2008-01-30T03:21:00.000+11:00

This day is a really random and an unplanned one, apart from the plan that we were already suppose to go for the Quiksilver Tour. So me, sis, Sarah and May Jean went for the Quiksilver Tour since we've not been to one before and mainly because I have free tickets. The gates were open at 12pm and we were already there by that time. Went in and we were actually expecting to see crowds inside, but nope, not many people were there yet. Upgraded our tickets to theme parks for 20bucks as the place was still quiet, no activites yet. And see this is what I meant by random. We didn't even bring extra clothes, aahh but screw it. The weather was damn freaking hot that we just got ourselves wet.

Wildlife Park. Hey it's included in the tix alright, so why want to waste it xP

Caught camwhoring

Self timer plus the sun's freaking hot!!

Overcoming their fear =P

Candid shot! Ok..you'd guess it, we were plain posers

Surf's Beach

This..is apparently some surprises from Quiksilver, where they throw free stuffs and see who gets it. Being jakuns, we joined in although we know that we will never get it. Look at all the guys there!! No chance at all!

Lucky Sarah. Some random guys just went up to her and gave her the flip flop they grabbed earlier on. Benefits for being young and pretty, which reminds me that I'm old T.T Haha

One Buck Shot.

It was already almost 4 when these bands all came out. Didn't stay for it because I was already starving. Went over to Pyramid for lunch and stayed a while to see the HK actors in the concourse area.

To be continued..

The First Post

2008-01-26T05:23:00.000+11:00

It's goodbye to two-oh-oh-seven and hello to two-oh-oh-eight and my new site =)

No particular reason for this new site. Just thought of changing it for good. At least I'm still loyal to blogspot. Leaving the past out and maybe I'll prolly link only some of the archives from my previous blog. I've been thinking hard and long on how I am supposed to start off my first post over here. You see, I always had this problem, a problem whereby I have difficulties with writing or starting up "the beginnings" in assignments and obviously now it's affecting me when I blog. So after the long thinking, I've made up my mind, I'm going to start off the first post by doing a review of last year. So here goes..

Started of the 1st day of 2007 with non other than the boyfriend at the Sg. Wang countdown. Technically our fireworks view was blocked by some building. Bummer. All in all, the companion's all that matters. =) The next big thing, well maybe not for many but for me, was clubbing without the boyfriend for the first time. xP Not like I club much with him, really. Later on was attending Lee Hom's concert promo tour, those where you sacrifice yourselves to become a human sandwich hoping and praying that you'll catch a glimpse of him. Owwh things I'll do for love =P

Then without realising February came, Year 2, semester 3 in uni started, CNY came and go and end of the month came.

March. Went for Lee Hom's concert. Every Friday of the month was filled with datelines. Get to work with different groups of people for all my assignments, expanding my social network. Me love.

April, as far as I can remember, was like the worst period in my relationship. Enough said.

More or less May was pretty dull. Rushing for datelines and preparing for finals towards the end of the month. And there goes another month.

Beginning of June, there were finals and my semester break started somewhere in the middle of the month. Nothing much there except than to laze around.

I was still on holiday in the beginning of July and I started working part time again at Kumon. Again nothing much there, just the usual starting of semester hoo-ha and of course not forgetting the little failure I had.

August, was the first time where I had to balance within my part time job and classes. Not too bad though. However, things were already starting to get a lill busy although it's just the beginning of a new semester. Assignments plus datelines come and go without me realising it. Also, I went to the MIFC in Putrajaya on Merdeka's Eve, which was superduperuber fantastic.

September was like the busiest period in my whole semester. Quizzes, mid semester exams and assignments. Spent my mid-sem break doing both my assignment that due on the very same week. However, there was like 2 highlights on this particular month. First was, celebrated our 1st year anniversary at Jake's amidst the busy period. And second was, I had my first one day trip up to Genting together with Joan, Julie and Sham.

Then it was October, where I had my first ever assignment sleepover at Joan's place. (Literally it's more of like a "no-sleep-assignment-stay over" because we stayed active for let's say 24 hours?? Crazy I know and it was really torturing) There was 2 final major marketing assignment due on the same day and that also marks the end of the assignment craze in sem 4. And end of the month arrived together with my birthday. Had a really great one though. Surprises from my besties and of course my boy.

Next there were finals in November and poof I'd officially completed Year 2 in uni. Went for a short trip to Camerons with aunties and uncles and cousins. And and I even got my first ever part time job working in roadshows and I get to taste how's it like to be a cashier for a day xP.

Finally December. I guess my mandarin would have by then improved, thanks to mandarin-speaking customers. Ok I'm not being mean here. I swear. In fact it's an advantage. I get to brush up my mandarin skills, for free! Had my first ever (yes, it was my first time ever, sad isn't it?) road trip with the boyfriend and friends during New Year’s Eve to Penang and obviously ended up the year at Penang

Alright, that's about it I guess. Yes, I'm finally done with it. Let's just hope that I won't be abandoning my blog anymore and that I'll have the interest to keep this blog alive. Till then! ;)
