Brian's Essay.

2010-01-06T16:17:00.002+08:00

Brian's Essay.

Brian's Essay: The Room.

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read 'Girls I have liked.' I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was.

This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.

A file named 'Friends' was next to one marked 'Friends I have betrayed.' The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird 'Books I Have Read,' 'Lies I Have Told,' 'Comfort I have Given,' 'Jokes I Have Laughed at .' Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: 'Things I've yelled at my brothers.' Others I couldn't laugh at: 'Things I Have Done in My Anger', 'Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents.' I never ceased to be surprised by the contents.

Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to fill each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.

When I pulled out the file marked 'TV Shows I have watched', I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of shows but more by the vast time I knew that file represented.

When I came to a file marked 'Lustful Thoughts,' I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.

I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!' In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it.

Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh.

And then I saw it.. The title bore 'People I Have Shared the Gospel With.' The handle was brighter than those around it,seemed newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.

And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key. But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him.

No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own.

He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.

Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card. 'No!' I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was 'No, no,' as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood. He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side.

He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, 'It is finished.' I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.

---
*heaves sigh*.
i doubt i'd want to see my box of cards now.
at least not now until i've done more for God.
i know that no matter how many good deeds done,
it'd never surpass the sins committed.
but hey, at least i wont feel AS bad as if i didnt do anymore goodstuff.
2010.
let you be a fruitful one.

2010 :)

2010-01-03T20:24:00.003+08:00

the peeps that almost made me cry.
already, i miss you all.
thank you for everything, for the colourful memories.
someday we'll cross paths again.

*

as the summer days, autumn, blistering winter and spring unfolded,
i slowly sunk into another world full of pointless things.
drawing further and further away from God,
i prioritized things that without God, would be utterly useless.

the days were long and cruelly hard.
and each day i tried to think that i could stand on my own feet.
what was i thinking, going away from God, forgetting all He's done?
i was a fool, too caught up in ambition forgetting the essentials.

i'm glad though, for the opportunity of restoration.
for the recognition once again of the importance of God in my life.
without you God, my life is nothing.
without you, I see no reason in living.

so as this year unfolds day by day,
Lord I pray I'll faithfully stick to you,
continually pursuing you diligently,
running the race with endurance and perseverance.

2010.
i dedicate you to God.
let me not lose sight.
let me find favour in You as I walk through my days.
thank you Lord.
I love you.

First week of uni :)

2009-07-28T18:16:00.003+08:00

the dead blog :S
following on from what I last wrote, I am back in Melb!
First week of uni has kicked off and so far, so good.

God's been really amazing-enabling me to meet so many people.
Also have a rather close friend now who's really awesome :D
Although it's been 2 lectures only, I'm starting to feel a tad bit,
Pressured?

Yes, I'm a bit kiasu for no reason whatsoever.
This week shall be used in getting myself organised!
Next week onwards, gotta start going/studying!

God, while I ask you help me excel in all I do,
I ask that you will keep me focused and to remember my
identity in you as well as to not be pressured to conform like
the world but to be a soldier for you instead.

Anyway, re-organizing the house!
The outside is currently extremely messy but wait till all's
finalised and it'll look super better than before! :D xx

Come round soon.

2009-06-25T14:38:00.002+08:00

DRAINED!
The Malaysian weather makes me sleepy.
However, it's great to be home! I love my home!

Flew back to Malaysia on the 16th of June.
On the way, made a stopover at KL to meet Deniz & Susan.

Crashed at their place for 4 nights where we over exerted ourself.
Played 24/7 until on the last night, I was literally dead.

Returned on the 21st of June and stayed home the next day.
Recuperated by sleeping in and indulging in Korean Dramas!
Shining Inheritance, Nodame Cantible & A Man's Story are SUPER!
It's a must must watch you people!

Tuesday: badminton with my fellow college mates.
It was a great doubles though the heat was pretty intense.
I always thought that Penampang was exceptionally hotter.
Afterwards, pork noodles yummy!

Wednesday: shopping spree though I didn't buy anything.

In fact, I nearly died of boredom as there was absolutely nothing!
Wisma Merdeka & Warisan = zilch. How do they survive?
I hope 1 Borneo will not be a letdown or else.

Then, went out with Choi for yamcha at Tun Fuad market.
Indulged in ABC, goreng pisang, yiu charkuay with kaya, tau foo fa,
fried kuay teow and goreng cemepdak! It was all so cheap!
Stuffed ourselves till the brim and then headed back.

TODAY. Oh Im feeling sleepy. My eyes are like slits!
Revising through IELTS and hopefully I'll be well prepared.
Aural exam at 9 45am followed by the rest of the exam this Sat!
PRAYERS PRAYERS PRAYERS :D

xx

I'm coming home!

2009-06-15T23:07:00.002+08:00

I may just pull an all nighter!
OH I'M TIRED, but I've yet to pack finish.
I just hope I don't miss out anything important!

Yours truly will be home in a few days time!
SHE IS EXTREMELY THRILLED.
Departure: tomorrow, 3pm from Melbourne.
Arrival: 9:10 at KLIA and meet my dearest peeps!

Eat, have fun, catch up and shop at KL for 5 days 4 nights.

Return home on Sunday to my beautiful BED & PILLOW.
Eat, have fun, catch up, shop and sports till 14th of July!
OH JOY I CANNOT WAIT- YIPPPEE :D

This whole week's gonna be insane!

Prayers everyone that I'll be able to FOCUS.
To understand and absorb all that I study,
To be able to apply all I've learned no matter what,
To be able to excel and do well!

AAH IM SO SCREWED :S

But yeah, so far, life's beautiful.
Recently met so many awesome people.
People who just colour my life and make it a joyful one.
People who are such a role model to me!

I am happy!
Well, off to study.
P.S, Hey esther ;D xx

Hey boys and girls!

2009-04-30T12:49:00.002+08:00

I've finally finished Module 4 which is super awesome.
Now in the midst of specimen examination revision.

The test is sitting in my email account now.
Hope I can finish revising the 3 books by today.
I WANT TO DO THE TEST TOMORROW ARGH.

2009-04-20T15:35:00.002+08:00

Oh April's drawing to an end!
Daddy's coming in 2 weeks and I can't wait!

Last week has been pretty hectic.

By Friday, I was really dead and konked out early.
The weekend was great, especially Sunday!
MYF Outing was super though I grazed my knee :(

But who cares since I had the time of my life PLUS,
I managed to play football after years and years of not.
:D oh the game was great.

Anyway, today kicked off not too well.

For instance, my phone alarm didn't ring thus,
I was late for my immigration appointment.

But thank God, I didn't miss it and have to reschedule.

Then there was this sick flasher which THANK GOD,
I just managed to avoid. I "kinda" saw what he was doing

at the corner of my eye, but at that moment my eyes blurred up.
So yeah, I immediately got away from the tram stop
and headed to the train station instead.

Well, tourist visa stuff settled, did an xray today as well.
Went to settle my screwed up RMIT refund stuff.
Went hunting around for winter stuff but failed :S
Bought bananas, yoghurt and some toiletries.

Glad to be home!
I've got a horrid cold.
Can't wait for sister's lotus soup with pork tonight.
NEED TO START ON MATHS SOON. xx

LET IT ROCK.

2009-04-14T17:50:00.003+08:00

And she's in exceptionally high spirits!
I must admit I've been having pretty low moments.
But somehow emails from random people about Faith
Have simply worked marvellous.
"Faith without works is dead"

Ima gonna walk the talk and not sit around doing nothing.
Thank you God for being so amazing.
I know everything's gonna be okay.
For now, things are just looking bright.

:) Happy.

Anyway, today was a great day.
Went for my first ever sticker photo in Melb!
The pictures turned out super!
All five of us; Mel, Tray, Rachel, Su Mei & I looked great!

I will miss Rachel but hey, theo dear!
AND perhaps melb uni in july?!

I LOVE:

That's how I want to be.

This song makes you feel high and happy.
Everytime I hear it, it's as if nothing else matters :) LOVE IT!

Halfway through Module 3. Triple yay.
Things are kicking off well so far but the weather's too COLD.
Makes you wanna stay in bed the whole day. Drainer.
Thank goodness there's daylight savings!
An extra hour of sleep I think?

Anyway, sotong's coming this Fri :D
Can't wait to see you girl xx

The weekend's almost over,
It has been exhausting, but I've learned so much.

Yes last week, was not perfect.
I experienced a moment of doubt which tore me down.
But thanks to my wonderful parents for their encouragement
and never ceasing trust in me as well as prayers for me,
It's all gonna be okay. I will succeed.

I'm just so blessed with my amazing family,

The wonderful friends and relatives who never cease to look out for me.
I FEEL LOVED & AM TRULY BLESSED :)

This week shall be a very busy week for me.
I have recharged and shall be going heads on with Maths.
Have a few other things to attend to as well and oh,
I AM LOOKING FORWARD to Saturday's amazing presentation.
I just get this amazing feeling whenever it's choir time.

Have a blessed week people!

Today's beautiful ;)

Yes, it didn't kick off well in the beginning,
But anyhow, I've finished Module 2. LIKE FINALLY!
2 more to go, exam, and I get my ticket to freedom.
HOWEVER, looked through Module 3 today, and it's like
50 pages thicker than previous books. This means in order
to finish a book a week, I've to finish 40 pages a day. Drainer.

Anyway, contemplating on whether to go Monash this fri.
I know I should, but it's so far. Tram, train, bus? Not my thing!
Will see how Maths treat me. If I'm relatively on schedule,
I may just go. If not, I may just go as well. Haha.

Well, how was April Fools Day for you?
Although I tried and pulled off only one trick,
it was worth it! IMAGENUIS. Makes me recall back last
year's April Fools when a friend tried to fool me lol. Funny.

That's all for now
xx

Keeps gettin better.

2009-03-31T17:21:00.002+08:00

Super.

This week's kickin off well.
Changes, changes.

2009-03-26T19:37:00.002+08:00

The weekend's just round the corner!
I am thrilled ;) Time to relax and laze around.
This week's been a pretty crazy week for me with maths.
Yesterday for the first time, stayed up till 3 30am to finish maths.
I think I'm turning into a maths lunatic.

Anyway, spent the whole day with David and Lydia today.
We went to Laksa King but none of us ordered laksa =__="
I had my fried kuay teow which was pretty auhentic,
and the rest had hainanese chicken rice!

After that, church bookmark production time.
The first few hours were so sad cause it all kept screwing up,
And by the time everything was okay, we had to go!
Only managed to finish 12 complete bookmarks. 288 more :S

Had dinner at Daniel and Candice's place.
Dinner was superb! Main course awesome, dessert excellent.
Played Citadel and Blink (German boardgames) :D
Poor Candice! Kept getting bullied by my bro and sis.
Really enjoyed myself. Can't wait for us to bake pie soon!

Tomorrow, I think I shall be getting my scones! YAY.
Then the rest of the day, more bookmark production time.
Sigh sorry Esther we can't go out :( Another time yeah.
That's all I guess. Maths calls and bed time xoxo!

Have a blessed and great weekend!
I shall enjoy mine!

I tried to do handstands for you.

2009-03-22T14:45:00.003+08:00

Of complete frustration!
I forgot to scan the idiotic progress test cover sheet.

Now I've go to travel to the city to do it. SHEESH.

Anyway, finished my Senior Maths Module 1!
1 down, 3 more to go. So proud of myself ;D
Hope I dont lose my motivation just yet.

The weekend was great though exhausting.
Crashed Tracy's for DDR and it was GOOD.
Wished however that it was Jason's version but oh well.

Great stuff I'm hooked on ;)

Salty air mmm!

2009-03-19T19:42:00.002+08:00

HOLA HOLA! Yes I have been missing in action.
Been pretty cooped up with Maths.
I can't decide whether I love it or hate it yet though.

Aunty Cece and Uncle Greg are in town!
Had dinner with Aunty Cece, Rose and Uncle Brian at Sofia's!
Portion's there are massive O_O Make that SUPER massive.
At first it was yummy, then it was blech. Oh well.

Went to St. Kilda's beach today!

The salty air was just so beautiful. Loved loved loved it.
Saw heaps of star fishes and huge jelly fishes and gosh,
there was this MASSIVE sting ray,
bigger than the size of your pillow. It was crazy!
But yeah, had heaps of fun :) Not to mention ice cream yum.

Well, tomorrow sleepover till Sunday.
Will thick skinnedly crash Tracy's house for DDR!

This week has been super!
It amazes me how despite the fact that I'm jobless & uni-less,

I can still find so many things to do to occupy my days!

Crashed Esther's lectures on Thursday & Friday.
Went for Business Finance & Organisational Behaviour,
Stuff that I will learn in future. It was interesting!
Suprisingly time flew by real quickly for the lectures.

Went out with Esther to window shop.
Oh I wish I could get a job! BLAAAAAH.
There are so many pretty things out there!
But then again, I can live without them. BUT STILL :S

Went out with jie and Mel for lunch & Max Brenner.
The luscious chocolates oh heaven heaven!
Every bite I took I could fill the SIN! GAH.

Celebrated Nel's pre-birthday with a japanese dinner.
The japanese restaurant totally ripped us off sheesh!
You pay HEAPS for like tiny portions and it's not like
the food was "that" great. Utter waste of money!

Saturday my favourite day, was sadly cut short!
There was this special elder from overseas so after service,
there was a special session which lasted for 2 hours and BYE.
No after church dinner or choir :( disappointed.

Barely woke up at 7am this morning to go church.
Seriously wanted to bail out since it was freaking cold plus,
I was really tired since I slept pretty late.
Amazingly I pulled myself out and got ready quickly.
However, I forgot that on Sunday's, trams are NOT FREQUENT.

So yes, I had a "great" time catching/switching trams & train.

Thankfully I arrived 20 minutes early since I thought I
was running late! and yeah, church went well.
Delicious lunch to follow up as well sigh ;D

Anyway, have an awesome week xx !

My life would suck without you.

2009-03-03T17:41:00.003+08:00

Tuesday, yes it was just you and I the whole day.
Went out by myself this morning in the blistering cold.
Okay maybe blistering cold is kinda an exaggeration
But it was cold and super windy today.

Trammed and bussed to NMIT to register for IELTS,
Only to come home and find out that I may not need to do it.
GRRRR. But well, I just hope I don't have to do IELTS.
Forfeit $60 (sigh) but it's at least better than having to go through
a tiring travelling journey to NMIT and then doing the exam.

Took a train back and dropped by at the library.
The "ambitious" characteristic in me got the better of me,
And before I knew it, yours truly was like grabbing books.
The stack got higher, higher and higher.
Not to mention HEAVIER as well. Grand total=8 books.

Idiot me had a hard time walking home armed with books.
But on the brighter side of all this,
I shall be locked away at home doing my own homework.
:D i feel happy.

Can't believe it's Friday already!
Today flew by real fast for me.
Was pretty cooped up with drawing and colouring.
Yes, I'm starting to revive my passion for art :)

Anyway, gonna apply for a Maths crash course.
Need to finish it in one month and get at least 70%
to apply for my Bachelor of Business Economics and Finance degree.
I'm pretty scared about Maths again but argh.
Better to do something that picks my brain rather than rot away.
Prayers, prayers people!

Apart from that, the week has been great!
Met dear Esther up and she treated starbucks!
It was really awesome catching up and yeah, thanks dear!
Enjoyed our vegetarian Indian dinner ;)

Went out with Ming as well which went well.
Caught a train to a suburb which name I forgot,
and had yummy brunch! Then we ventured around and
he treated me delicious ice cream in KOKO Black!
Thanks ming! I'll never forget your "flowers" phrase.

Can't wait for tomorrow! Highlight of my week is always the weekend!
Cousins, cousins, cousins and church mates!!
Kev's coming for my successful dessert before church.
Pandan Pana Cotta which probably totals to like 800-100 calories?
Super super sinful but yeah, since I bought the ingredients so no choice!
First and last time but IT'S SO GOOD :(

Anyway, one of the most delicious songs ever!

These days have been extremely difficult.
And my only source of hope is God alone.
You know you want to turn to someone,
But what can they really do?
Things are just too complicated.
It's now between you and God.

God, at this very moment,
I ask that you reveal yourself clearly to me.
Show to me what you've decided for me,
Let me not lose heart but to press on and have faith.

Crashed my sister's orientation today!
Well, we appeared for like a few minutes and then left.
Did my enquiry stuff which hogged the whole morning.
Returned back for the last few minutes and ate free food. Lol.

And just that 1 hour trip was incredibly exhausting!
Caps off to my sister who's gonna do it everyday for her 1st Sem.
Seriously tiring and mind boggling. Not my cuppa tea.

Anyway, currently facing a few hard concrete walls in life.
Everything that went smooth sailing just plunged into the sea.
I really really pray God will resolve everything well.
I can only trust in Him and His perfect plan for me.

But I'm thankful I discovered the flaw fast.
And that I'm correcting it fast so that I won't look back and regret.
Everyday is a difficult walk, but when it's all done,
I know I'm gonna stronger.

I am EXHAUSTED!
This whole weekend had just been fun, fun, FUN!
Sleptover at David and Lydia's place during the weekend.
We all watched "Slumdog Millionaire" which was good!

This morning, baked baby sized banana muffins with Mel.
Then everyone started coming by 11 and the BBQ was fabulous.
The first photo is of a few of us playing uno/snap game!
It was hilarious how Lance kept scaring everyone with his fake moves.

Second photo: ALMOST COMPLETE melb family photo!
Melly you're missing :( Hurry and come back to Melb.
But anyway, I love my cousins so much.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Kelv sent us home and we got started on cleaning the apartment.
AND made Ba Ku Teh for dinner YUMMMY.
Nel and Kelv came over for dinner and it was entertaining.
Overall, I rate this weekend a 9/10 :)
Thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Well, yours truly has had a tiring weekend.
Got to recharge myself to be prepared for tomorrow.

Today was my third day of uni life.
So far, not a walk in the park at all.
I have two assignments lined up, one worth 5%, the other 20%
of 1 Semester scores. And oh, one's due this Monday. "Just great"

Have attended 5 different lectures, some which last 3 hours,
others which last 5 hours. Have had "Fibres and Fabrics" which is
challenging, "Fashion Designing" which is extremely tough,
"Production" which is scary, "Fashion Drawing" which is mind boggling
and "Fashion Computing" which is so far, okay?

And yes, today after lectures, I suddenly thought,
"what if Fashion Technology is not for me?"
It's just all been pretty discouraging and difficult for me.
And honestly, I'm struggling. I hate this feeling.

So really gotta trust God and work really really hard.
Since uni started, although it's just been the first 3 days,
been returning home late just to do research in the library.
I, Angela, will succeed and excel.
I WILL OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES!

People, just pray for me to not lose faith and hope.
And to maintain the passion for my course.
The last thing I need is to lose my passion for it cause that
would just leave me complete clueless.

xoxo!

Attended orientation yesterday and it was good!
No draggy speeches, just straight to the point.
There's approximately 150 students, of which around 20
are international students. About 5 guys in total for the course,
and about 5 Chinese in total too :S 99%, aussie angmohs!
Seriously such a drastic change of culture compared to college.

My group has a Chinese and a guy! ;D HAHA.
I'm in 1D, and from observation, it's the "Rebel" group.
Piercings, Dark Eye shadow, Army boots and tatoos.
But I'm sure it's gonna be awesome.
Something tells me that our goup will be daring and different.
Can't wait for classes this Tuesday!

Mommy left yesterday and I MISS HER!
and I miss daddy too :( sigh.

Been organising my room in the new apartment.
There's not enough space! How is Lisa gonna fit her stuff :S
Went shopping for some stuff we needed for the apartment today.
The apartment's almost complete! Yay.
Just one sad thing, no internet yet till we sign up for the plan.
AND IT'S SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE compared to back home!
I feel so guilty imposing additional costs on my parents.
I need a job desperately :(

Well anyway, till the internet's fixed,
yours truly shall be snail mailing!
Already bought the necessary stamps so WOOHOO.

xoxo.
yummy song from the yummy trumpeteer/conductor from
Beethoven Virus; a yummy korean drama. yummm :P

As well as cook "Da Jiang Mian" YUMMMMMM!

Two highlights of the day:
Firstly, I managed to get the gorgeous apartment I wanted.
THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD ;D
Really psyched about that because the apartment's absolutely
lovely, fully furnished and superbly convenient.

Secondly, yours truly is picking up knitting on her own.
Passed a knitting shop and just impromptu-edly bought the needles
and wool, and thanks to the sales lady, I've gotten started.
First project: to make a nice wool scarf for myself. Yay.

xoxo.
Music of the day:

2009-01-31T19:20:00.002+08:00

Today unravelled well :)
Spent the whole day from 2-7 in church.
Met tons and tons of awesome sisters who were really easy
to bond with, so that felt good. No awkward moments at all.
There was dinner in church after youth class and oh the food was
YUMMMY. I LOVE CHINESE FOOD.
Lol. Sorry but I've just had too much western food.
Wait till I move to my own place then I'm cooking chinese food!

Went over to Lyd's place after everything ended!
Oh I've missed my dear cousin so so much!
Went snooping around hers and David's rooms in the house
and stared at her boxer dog from a distance,
(while everyone else was playing with the dog)
Lol. Dogs just aren't my type, especially jumpy ones O_O

Vic market and shopping tomorrow!
So far have spent lets see, $90 aussie on an outfit and accessories?

Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it,
but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life
and only a few find it. Prayers, please.

2nd day in Melbourne.
Yes, I'm still sticking to my impression of Melbourne: BROWN.

Ventured around with mom and bro today.
1 day tram ticket costs $6.80 = DAMN EX.
After settling down and finding a place, I'm definitely gonna buy
a bicycle to get places which would save lots and lots of $$!

Went to my uni's campus to inquire a few stuff.
Oh I'm getting excited as time goes by. SO EXCITED.
Tomorrow, registration at 1pm :) Orientation, 2nd of Feb!

It's gonna be awesome, yet scary, yet great! CANT WAIT!!

Went to bro's campus too. Man, Melb Uni students are spoilt!
The facilities there are so good, it's like there's a shopping centre
there or something!

Anyway, just watched Wicker Park, a sad love story :S
Music from it ! goodstuff again.

Strange & Beautiful (Ill Put A Spell On You) - Aqualung

I am blessed by God's amazing grace;

2009-01-26T11:02:00.003+08:00

And I've FINALLY arrived in Melbourne.
First impression of Melbourne? It's so brown!

The trip was extremely extremely exhausting.
Pretty dramatic and the rest of it, just God's blessing.
Let's see, where should I begin?

Okay, from KK side, my luggage was overweight by 6kg.
For every excess kg, there's a charge of RM 73 per kg.
Which meant, mom had to pay about RM438? CRAZY O.O
So I called dad to come pick up the excess luggage but then,
the lady changed her mind and said she won't charge us!
(Truly God's grace)

Well, I had like 14kg worth of stuff on me, hand carried!
I was pretty worried they'd like stop me and weigh my stuff
cause the limit's actually 7kg. But wow, by God's grace again,
no one checked and they just let me passed by. Everyone was just
so nice and friendly! :)

Arrived in Singapore in Terminal 2 and killed time by going to
the airport's cinema, surfing the net, playing PS3 and xbox games,
did Chinese origami folding and key chain knotting, and ate!
Well, went to a bookstore and bought a few postcards to post to friends.
Was walking on the way to the post office when something prompted
me to look at my watch. O.O My heart almost fell to the ground.

5 minutes to 9. My flight was at 9. I had missed my flight.
The worst thing was that the next flight (which was my mom's flight
since my flight was over booked), was also fully fully overbooked by
like 20+ people pending to board that flight. And we were in the wrong
terminal! We frantically caught the sky train and inquired whether I
could get on the next flight. On the way, I prayed so hard that I could
get on the same flight as mom, without having to pay any fine or something.

Anyway, the airline staff said that she'd book me on the same flight as
mom's as well as the next morning's flight since the flights were really
fully booked. And she said that we had to pay S$150. So mom wanted
to pay by credit card, and the lady had to inquire whether she could pay
by credit card and somehow along the line, the person on the other line
said don't charge me though they usually would. (God's grace!)
Then I was asked to come back at 11pm to see if I could board with mom.

Waited for 2 hours, and during that period, wrote on and mailed my
post cards on this post office on wheels! Super cute red car which is a
post office. After 2 hours, went to the counter.

*um, excuse me. i want to..
the lady interrupts: You're Angela Lu waiting to see if you got the
11 50 flight right?
Me: Uh yeah :S
The lady: One person didn't turn up so you can board on the flight now.
Me: Thank you so much (THANK YOU GOD THANK YOU GOD!!)
(God's grace again)

Arrived in Melbourne and somehow my bolster and a box
was apparently left behind in Singapore. After mom filled the forms,
I was just staring at the LONG LONG queue. Already, we had to wait
for like 1/2 hour to see if our baggage was really not around and
then fill up the forms. Now there was the long queue which would
definitely take at least a 1/2 hour wait.

Then suddenly a man approached us to check out our immigration
cards. Mom has some dry stuff which meant she definitely had
to go through one of the check up gates but by God's grace,
the man asked mom what the dry stuff were, mom answered and
he was like (stamping a green stamp on our cards) "okay, just
walk straight out. You don't have to get a bag check up or wait"

Thank you God :)
Just ate lunch. Going out later!
This year's Chinese New Year is truly, different?
Made a new friend on board; Michelle from Vietnam.
Early morning on Chinese New Year, instead of being in Kudat,
I was in the air watching Max Payne and eating supper.
Spent the morning/noon in the airport.
Afternoon- cooking western food. LOL.
Later grocery shopping and dinner with mom's sister.
Hopefully there's Chinese Food!

Happy Chinese New Year peeps and God bless ;)
xoxo.

Keeping a poker face.

2009-01-25T00:36:00.005+08:00

In a few hours, yours truly will be flying off.
Excited? Maybe.

Bags are almost packed and I'm leaving so many things behind.
Wish I had a 40 kg allowance instead of 30kg :(
Prayfully the stuff I'll be handcarrying, which actually exceeds the 7kg limit,
will be overlooked and allowed. Prayers, prayers, prayers!

God, before I go, I ask that you bless me in everything that I do.
That I will not forget who I am in you, and that I will always strive to
please you and you alone. Help me not to lose my identity but instead,
to strengthen it even more. God, I trust your plans for me.

It's been a tiring yet fruitful day today!
Morning 9-11am played badminton with the usual gang.
It was super good and I missed it so much! Thanks Kev!
Rushed home, packed some more and then went for lunch with Shevon.
My big sister yet ex boss. I will miss her heaps!
Church as usual, went to Dad's office to scan stuff and packed more.

It's Sunday now, so this is belated:
Happy blessed 23rd birthday my dear hong yi ;)
Hope you had a great one! God bless xx!

IM OFF.
Before that, music: poker face; lady gaga.

Make it happen.

2009-01-24T00:07:00.004+08:00

Today? Hectic, super hectic.
I know I should be getting my priorities right,
Packing finishing, and checking again properly.
But well, since I've agreed to meet some peeps :X

Have bought literally everything I think I need.
Can't think of anything else I should be needing.
Really looking forward to a new beginning, a new chapter in life!
But it's gonna be so challenging at the same time.

Perhaps, my perseverance and self control may be challenged to the max.
But whatever it is, I am definately ready for it with God by me.
Since its 12:11 am Saturday,
YOURS TRULY IS LEAVING TOMORO AAAHHH!

This helplessness.

2009-01-22T23:59:00.003+08:00

In moments like this, the only thing to do is to rely on God.
Absolute reliance for there is no way out.
3 more days and yet so many complications.
I only pray I'll survive through in one piece.

God, I know you're there and you will provide.
You will reveal your perfect plan for me, us.

Sometimes I wish I was more aware.
Maybe things could have taken a different turn.

Lost & insecure, you found me.

2009-01-19T23:08:00.004+08:00

There are moments when we need to get out of the buzz in life.
To sit alone in the room and just reflect on everything that has happened.
Today was one of those days for me. Think. Reflect. Wonder.
Being a girl full of ambition and wanting to excel in everything,
I've been planning in my mind all that I want to accomplish.

Yet I've neglected to build the plans around God,
And today I realised that very crucial mistake that almost costed me.
God has just been constantly reminding me and I just pray
that I will bear it in mind and not let it slowly be a whisper in my ear.

What a tragedy that men work all day to feed
their bodies and at the same time starve their souls?
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul? Mark 8:36

When we draw our final breath,
the question will be not if we were a success,
but if we were a servant.

I pray i'll remember that & not be caught up
in the world when I'm in Melb.

well, today has indeed been fruitful and I'm proud to say that
I have accomplished much :) 6 more days!
Awesome music of the day.

*you found me.

I don't know what your love is doing to me;

2009-01-19T00:15:00.004+08:00

Just came home from a relative's wedding.
"Love was definitely in the air"
as the groom displayed his affections openly to his bride.

AWW!
I want a super romantic wedding :
My husband who will be such a gentleman and AGH, I dunno!

Awesome friends who will spruce up the event for me and not be like
some of the stoney people today who just sat "deadly" instead of joining
in the fun! I mean SERIOUSLY, It's someone's wedding so show more "life"!
Aha. Andypants you can spruce up stuff cant you? Haha.
Depending on you!

Good music DEFINITELY. and yummy food.
HMM. I want a different type of wedding then the usual.
Still have 9 years more to plan :X

HEY! It's never too late to plan for the future okay!
Start jotting possble stuff that you want to occur during your wedding,
So that when the time of preparation does arrive, you wont be blur,
AND you'll be able to make it happen without regretting that you forgot about it!

What kind of wedding exactly do I want?
Do you guys know what you want?
Time to put on thinking caps :)

xoxo.

OH GOSH,

2009-01-16T20:15:00.001+08:00

I FEEL LIKE PUKING.

I'm feeling all super human.

2009-01-16T17:17:00.005+08:00

The fued has ended & as much as it was childish,
I couldn't help but be cold because for once, I was really pissed.

Anyway, made curry pau today with the twins and our dear guru!
Oh, we made kaya too and both were extremely successful.
Don't have any pau pictures since I was lazy to get my camera,
But I must say that the pau's were real GOOD ;D
& I love the baby ones I made. Super super cute.

Been breezing through a few food blogs drooling at delicious food.
One of my 2009 resolutions will be to start having a cookbook!
Will start collecting recipes of yummy food. Oh I do look forward to it.
Well, in the midst of looking around, I suddenly developed a craving for
Tiramisu! So I wanted to make it but I dont have liquor :(
Then dear mummy offered to buy me my tiramisu later. YAY.
I'm definitely taking up her offer. Oh dear :S

My gym inspiration just called: "Did you go gym today?"
Me: "Err.. hehe. no.."
My gym inspiration: "WELL.. Do you wanna go with me now?"
Me: "I've got no car :("
I would have if I had the car. Sigh. Now I feel guilty.
I'm going gym tomorrow morning! YES I AM.

To end off, I know these days I've been ending with songs.
Here's another one, currently one of my faves!
"I'm feeling all super human.."

Superhuman - Chris Brown ft. Keri Hilson

Whoever said sewing was easy sure lied.
IT'S NOT. Okay, maybe it could be, but right now it ain't.
Spent the whole morning tracing, pinning, cutting the cloth and patterns.
To get good qualitied work, you've got to undergo a super tedious process.
Complicated. Too complicated.

And to think I'll be doing it for two years o.O
Oh I do look forward to the day when I can do it well without going through
the tedious process and yet present professional work!

Been rummaging through some stuff and found some great books.
This year hopefully, will be a super productive year.
Have yet to finish my 2009 resolutions, by after pondering a lot yesterday,
I think I may just know what I want to accomplish this year :)
Will post it soon when it's done!

10 more days till Melbourne.
Currently in the midst of packing.
I can't help but say this, that among all the complications present,
I am truly blessed!

Sleepy me.

2009-01-12T10:08:00.003+08:00

The phone rang noisily at an ungodly hour.
I wondered to myself, who could be calling?
Groggily tried to silence my phone but it kept bugging. Wait, alarm clock.
A million reasons immediately swarmed my mind;
Trying to excuse myself from waking up early to go to the gym.

Believe me, so many good reasons popped up.
And yet, I kept fighting to half get up, and to half sleep on.
But I thought, "what would I tell Cass today since I said I'll tell her
if my gym trip was successful or not? ARGGHHHH."
I should have just kept my mouth shut!

Started counting to ten before I said I'll wake up, but then I started dozing off.
Thus, with every single will power in me, I immediately jumped off bed :(
So that I wont procrastinate any longer.

Yes, the gym was completely empty.
No one goes gym at 6am except me. Pathetic me.
But it was cool having the whole gym to myself.
Good workout today I must say. Glad I went, but feeling sleepy now.

Zzz.
anyway, yummy song ;)

Leave out all the rest.

2009-01-07T21:46:00.002+08:00

My nose is still smelling the disgusting stuff from the fridge.
Yes. My dad & I decided to spring clean the "overflowing with junk" fridge.
Guess what we found? Stuff that expired in year 2004,
Along with other things that I've no idea what it is and has gone BAD.
:S AND TO THINK I HAD TO SNIFF AT ALL THE THINGS JUST
TO TELL MY DAD WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD!

But well, the end result was good. My fridge is no longer overweight!
In fact, it's pretty skinny now; with 4 big bags of junk being thrown away.
The fridge can now store new fresh food and not expired disgusting stuff.

Which reminds me of how like this year is a brand new year.
For all the things that have happened in the previous years,
It's time to throw it all away and not just let it pile up inside and burden us.

The good memories-keep them and treasure them forever.
The bad memories-discard them or they'll stink up your whole life.

For all the junk we have accumulated in our room,
It's time to spring clean, pack and keep what is needed, give away what isn't needed.
(oops. time for me to spring clean then!)
Clean room & give things away-cleaner room and bless others.
Don't clean room & don't give things away-messy room, bad atmosphere!

Anyway, still straightening a lot of things in my life.
I've only managed to plan 1/4 of what I want and need to plan.
I haven't tidied my room :(
I haven't packed :(

GAAH.

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

2009-01-04T01:51:00.005+08:00

Recap for the day!
Woke up groggily to Andrew's call "er, Angela you're still asleep ah?"
OF COURSE I'M STILL ASLEEP. GRR. My precious beauty sleep denied!
Oops. Was late for breakfast with Andrew and Sean but anyway, it went well!

Went for church and oh it was good catching up with Olivia! Will miss her!
Receieved 2 bars of chocolates and a bag of kimchi from her from Korea.
Oh gosh I WANNA GO KOREA DESPERATELY. Dammit I should've gone this year!
I heart Korea. I'm going Korea soon. I AM. And I'm definitely learning Korean!

After church, met up with Penny, Nels and Dom in Carca Sean.
First game we played: Blokus.

Dominic was simply jobless and he just "had to" block my yellow tiles
with his stupid green tiles! Grr. But poor Penny. She had it worse!

Can't remember why I was laughing :X

My nephew trying to help me to fit my last few pieces. Foiled attempt/.

Settlers of Catan ;D The 2nd game we played which ROCKKEDD.

Dom & Penny are so hooked onto the game. Jan 2010 we shall play again okay!

Group photo for memory's sake :)
To remember the good old days!

Anyway, I went for the first youth service of the year. It went well.
So many things have changed drastically that I cant help but feel weird.
I don't know, it's all just so different. But anyhow, did lots of catching up with
old friends. Heartwarming:) and we all stuck our 2009 resolutions on the board.
2009 resolutions.. Hmm. Have you all written yours?

Well, later (since it's now Sunday morning 2am+),
"may" go out for lunch with my sister and our friends. Still contemplating.
But anyway, goodbye andrewlindageek :S have a safe trip back
AND STUDY HARD YOU MINION.

to meet up with my hot cooking stove; Mel, and Theresa!
Okay, that was a poser photo. But anyway, had loadsa fun!
We hopped from one cafe to another; visiting about 4-5 cafe's in total?

In a fashion cafe posing with the table deco; the candle.
We just trudged into the fashion cafe and sat there for a few minutes,
and then we walked out again (without ordering any food or drinks)

In a Japanese restaurant, relaxing our feet after much walking!

I ordered green tea ice cream while Mel had green tea tiramisu.
yummaayy;

On the way back, as we crossed the bridge, we decided GROUP PHOTO!
Me, Jie, Mel and Theresa.

Thats the bridge. The view of the lake was really gorgeous!
The whole place was lit up so prettily. sigh!

Anyway, to get home from Clarke Quay was simply horrid!
We had to queue for the taxi for like, 1 hour o.O
By the time we got home, it was 3:30am and I was dead tired.
Konked out immediately!

After the dinner which was super filling, went for supper with church gang.
It's really amazing how we became a gang. I remember when we went for church
camp, then the first night after camp briefing, everyone went to get ready to sleep,
while the 5 of us; Dom, Nels, Penny, Hsiao Wui and I sneaked out of church.
It was weird cause we didnt really know each other. At least, we werent that "close".
We went to watch "Mr & Mrs Smith" and then sneaked back without anyone's notice.
After that night, we got closer and would hang out as a gang during the camp.
From then, it all went well and ever since then, we always meet up when most of
us are back from overseas. It has been 3-4 years I think? Tomorrow, we're going
out again before Penny returns for studies. German Board Game!! ^^

Drove by myself without mummy or daddy's supervision for the first time today!
Picked Deniz up and we had brunch, watched "Four Christmas" (which was cute),
window shopped, then went to college to collect A levels certificate as well as my
award and prize money from the school ;D im richhh. thanks God!

Going for college reunion party/ birthday party of a college friend later.
Mental reminder: buy present for him. buy tiramisu cake for mummy.
ok. been out the whole day. exhausted.

xoxo ;)*

Hallelujah

2008-12-29T22:14:00.002+08:00

I'm so hooked on Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah"!
It just gives me this yummy feeling.

Anyway, yours truly is off tomorrow morning to Kudat!
Gonna meet my dear grandparents before I head off to Melb!
WHICH MEANS, spending my new year in Kudat.
First time ever experience. Should be quiet :/
But at least there will be lots of good family quality time!

To dear Esther, sorry I'll be missing your birthday!
BUT.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR :) ILY!
We will celebrate when I return.

To everyone else, hope u guys have an awesome new year!
Dont forget your 2009 resolutions! I will be writing mine in Kudat ;D
Cant wait for 2009. A superb year ahead with so much in store for me!

God bless peeps! xoxo.

I miss theolo :(

2008-12-28T21:17:00.002+08:00

and she's back!
Missing her theolo gang DREADFULLY.
This whole month has been simply the best.

First few days of theolo kicked off slowly.
I wasnt used to getting up early, praying & reading the bible lots,
so I'd say to myself "what on earth made me come?"
Not to mention the endless lectures where I fought to keep awake.

But as the days passed, I found myself looking forward to praying & reading the bible;
to listening to lectures which taught me many priceless lessons.
Indeed before I went for theolo, I've strayed away from God.
Now I feel seriously recharged and ready for next year with God :)

Throughout the theolo camp, I've made tons of friends.
From year 1's, to year 2's :) Year 3's were my year 1 bunch so it was
basically "re-uniting" with them. But anyway, my Year 2 class ROCKS.
Everyone's really cool and I MISS BEING WITH THEM!

Time seriously flew by fast and before I knew it, I was up on stage with
everyone else, singing our last few hymns together before the camp concluded.
Yes, many of us did shed tears because we knew that it was time to say
goodbye to the perfect world of living together and building friendships as well
as learning together, and time to say hello to reality. I cried :

I will miss washing pots and scrubbing floors with my group 4.
Spraying water at everyone, getting the guys to clear the disgustingly
clogged basins, bubble-bathing the floors, waking up early to make pots of
coffeeteamilo, and washing the toilet bowls~!

I will miss our night of illegal activities. OOPS.

Of running like little kids with a bunch of other people as we
exercised and got excited in winning. Haha. That was super fun!
And of playing rounds and rounds of mafia with my year 2's!

I will miss the night where Jerm, Jia Xin, Azriel, Gabe and I
laughed till our stomaches hurt so bad due to our secret "dragonfly" incident.
My tummy really hurt bad after that. Sigh.

I will miss the waking up at an ungodly hour to study for ED!
o.O OH GOSH. I think I almost konked out the rest of the day.

But it was worth it because I think I did well?!

I WILL MISS SO MANY THINGS.

Yes. I'm definitely coming back next year if I'm able to. No excuses.
& Thank You all those sweet sweet sweet people who sent me off.
I was really really touched.
I totally didn't expect so many of you! I thought it'd just
be like Sammy, Jeanie, Yong Xian and maybe Kenneth and John. But then as
more and more of you guys started appearing, I was so embarassed but touched!
You guys made my last hour in Singapore
super super memorable. (p.s, john I want the photos!!)

You know, I was so touched until I almost missed my flight! :
I went to gate D41, waited and waited with a crowd of people.
While waiting, texted dear Jeanie to tell everyone thanks.
Then after a while, I felt something was weird so I asked the lady
next to me when will we be called to board the plane. She was like,
I'm going Korea. Your flight has been called already o.O
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

I rushed in frantically, and while my bag got scanned the security lady
was like, do you have your phone in your bag? Then I thought I heard her
say "popcorn" so I was like, POPCORN? Then the lady was like "popcorn"?
And we burst into laughter. The lady said "why would I ask whether you have
popcorn?" LOL. It was super funny. Anyway, I was sadly the last one to board
the plane. Seriously thank God I board the plane on time or else :

Anyway, will post photos soon as soon as I get em.
Gotta go. Watching "Another Cinderella Story".

Seriously thank God for healing me. Was sick with high fever the whole today.
Now feeling much much better!

xoxo till photos come ;D

i'm not afraid of you.

2008-11-30T22:04:00.003+08:00

2008-11-30T17:52:00.002+08:00

When you can live forever, what do you live for? - Twilight.
Alison has bought our tickets :) Watching it tonight. Should be awesome.
If it's good, I may just buy the novels when I'm in Singapore!

Packed 3/4's of my stuff for theolo camp. Getting pretty excited!
I hope to learn a lot and mature more in Christ after the 3 weeks.
Bye bye Internet, Korean Dramas, Sleeping In Late and Lazing around!

Tomorrow, maybe breakfast with the twins,

BOO. I drove mummy's auto car today and it felt good!
Haha. I started grinning idiotically while driving cause it felt good to drive.
Received my Driving License ysterday and I love it!

No tutoring today WOOHOOO.

Gonna drive mummy around tomorrow YAY.

P.S, congrats to the mister that got 95/100 for his Maths test.

Smelly coffee, chocolatey cake and korean dramas!

2008-11-25T18:35:00.006+08:00

Tenom.

Just got back from my weekend trip to Kenningau!
The last puppet performance went well and the kids were simply thrilled!

Saturday morning we all drove to Tenom which is 1/2 an hour away.
We spent half of the day there sightseeing and drinking the famous Tenom coffee.
The picture was taken in a huge private fish farm that belongs to a church member.
It's a gorgeous place and sigh, if we had more time, we would have gone fishing!

Baked Chocolate Moist Cake today! It turned out well.
Pretty easy recipe! Chuck in all the stuff, mix and bake.
May bake cinnamon rolls tomorrow if I have the time! I miss those yummy stuff!

Anyway, yours truly passed her driving test yesterday!
Was extremely nervous about the hill part but thank God everything went well.
Just before I went to get the car, one of the staff guys started cracking me up.
He started fooling around and making me laugh, seeing that I was so tensed!
That really helped me de-stressed and relax all the way!
YIPPPEEE.

Tomorrow,
Gym/1 Borneo/Kurosagi/Gossip Girl/Privileged/East of Eden.
OMG. East of Eden is getting better and better and BETTERRR!
GRRR. Shin Tae Hwan you ought to pay for all your sins!

xoxo ;)

Castle of sand.

2008-11-20T17:47:00.003+08:00

Kanon Wakeshima - Suna No Oshiro
( castle of sand )

I love this song! It's got this eery yet soothing feel to it.
If there's one thing I really regret in life, that's giving up on violin.
The violin is so beautiful, I just wish I hung on to it and learned it well.

Anyway, gotta get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning!
Haven't packed yet. Danny's brining toothpaste, I'm bringing shampoo!
Last peformance for the year. Gonna snap lotsa photos if possible.
Kenningau, here I come : I hope I don't gain weight.
It's seriousy hard to not gain weight with the gang cause they're all food lovers.

xoxo :)*

SMILE!

2008-11-19T16:23:00.003+08:00

It's a great day ;D

sadness. happiness. grr.

2008-11-18T16:37:00.003+08:00

Chocolate Hazelnut Torte!
Baked these troublesome babies this morning with my distant cousins Allison & Amanda. Thank goodness they were around so it wasn't too bad!
They are utterly sinful and when I look at them, I think of Melly!
MELLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! heyyou ;)

Anyway, yours truly has watched finish Beethoven Virus.
It was good and the ending wasn't cliche but one of a kind!
I'm now anxiously waiting for more East of Eden episodes to come out.
I stopped at ep24, and the preview for 25 was supergood ;( sigh.

Got a call from TJC Spore. They discovered Nel and I hadn't done 2 year.
So yes, Nelly and I have been sadly demoted from 3rd to 2nd year.
GRRRRRRR. Why are some people so insistent in sticking to rules?

Well, I'm off to watch the movie of Hana Yori Dango!
Puppet practice at night, last performance in Kenningau this weekend.
Sniffles. im gonna miss the team so much! SERIOUSLY.

xoxo :)*

and walk to the nearest cyber cafe to watch.

xoxo!

You will be blessed ;)

2008-11-12T18:18:00.002+08:00

H-eugene & Yoo Seung Jun - Single Person

CLICK ;) Great song. I love the Korean Girl's vocals. UBER!

Anyway, ate something wrong yesterday which I must've been allergic to,
thus breaking out into rashes everywhere. Hateful.
Couldn't sleep a wink last night due to the itchiness!
Had to cancel driving lessons this morning :(

Well mummy's back! 3 new novels to occupy me temporarily.
Have finished 1 already so there's 2 left.
I can't believe it's Friday already! Tomoro's King Kong's birthday ;D
That's about it. Spring cleaning messy room tomoro.

xoxo.

Dangerous is my breakfast :P

2008-11-05T20:43:00.002+08:00

Watched Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2 today! :)
I found myself grinning widely at these four girls' friendship.
Lena, Bridget, Carmen and Tibby!
Angela, Denise, Deniz and Susan! HAHA.
Gosh I miss my 3 ah pohs!
It felt so GREAT talking to them all at once for the
first time on Skype. Definitely a sunshine memory!

Also watched Highschool Musical 3 today. Haha. Not bad I guess?
Well, gonna watch the latest episode of Privileged.
OMG. : X imturningintoacouchpotato!

xoxo.

im in love with a bad boy.

2008-11-05T00:59:00.002+08:00

Bad Boy/Baby Baby; Son Dam Bi & Big Bang (Remix)

Just finished a conference call with Alan, Deniz and Wee Khang.
It was fun. SIGH. I miss my college mates.

anyway, this song rocks.
click. download. listen.
p.s, make sure ur on FULL volume.

Remember.

2008-11-04T18:33:00.003+08:00

Remember; Big Bang.

"A love gone bad is a crazy thing but how did it catch up to us?"

This song is good :) iloveit!
"Remember" from their latest album "Number 1".
They seriously pulled it off well in English. I thought their pronounciation would
be like, weird? BUT they sound English!

T.O.P (Big Bang)
Anyway, he's my hearthrob ;)
Isn't he the most gorgeous guy ever?! SIGH.

well, I suspect November's just gonna be a super busy one.
xoxo.

And i dont need you tonight.

2008-11-03T22:15:00.002+08:00

^
Today started off pretty draggy. With mummy gone, I'm stuck at home!
Thankfully, I had a badminton game in the afternoon with college friends.
We played for 3 hours and it was fun :) Kevin is a great doubles partner. HAHA.

Anyway, Andrew has agreed to be my guinea pig!
I've never learned how to cut guy's hair, but oh well :P
He says never mind if I cut badly. He will "advertise" my bad hair cutting skills.
Andrew, I hope I slice your ear off.

grr. sore throat && in search for a good kdrama :(
XOXO.

24/7 I'm feeling so messed up.

2008-11-02T14:09:00.003+08:00

2nd driving lesson today at 6:30am!
I'm improving! Confidence, thank you for being my best friend this morning.
One more class this Friday and I'm off for exam. Seriously cant wait!

Work yesterday was quiet? Poor boss, she seemed like she was literally dying.
While she read her "true love" book, I indulged in my Beethoven Virus!"
And YES, yours truly has her beautiful BEAUTIFUL ring she's been eyeing.
It's got 3 cubic zirconias embedded in sterling silver, and the part that holds the
cubic zirconia has hearts on both sides engraved in the sterling silver.
VERY PRETTY. It's expensive and was hoping to get a good discount from my boss,
BUT, instead.
:/

She gave it to me! ;D iloveyou!

& ilovemylaptop. it's got speech recognition function so I can command it
to do stuff. For example, if I say "Open Microsoft Word", the laptop would do so.
Then if I say "Eating a banana on a bus is freaking cool", my laptop would type
out the words! Still working on the other stuff it can do ;)

Anyway, mommy will be gone this whole week. GRR.
Imsostuckathomewithnothingtodo.
Thank God we're playing badminton tomorrow at 2!
Aight, gonna watch my Beethoven Virus!

xoxo'

P.S, I'm in borneo post! ;D

Sunshine Day!

2008-11-01T16:19:00.003+08:00

Today shall be labeled sunshine day ^^
Very fruitful. I am pleased!

Got up at 6:30 today, went for my first driving lesson at 7. It was thrilling!
I'm getting the hang of switching gears. Just need to work on my steering.
Came back by 10, went for PC fair. Bought my laptop :) HP.
It has everything, my NVDIA Graphics card, 250GB HDD, 3GB RAM.
Bought a 4GB Kingston pendrive; metallic pink! And bought my Apple Ipod charger!

Went for church at 2:30 and am in work now.
I'm supposed to be finished with it, but thought i'll help my friend out for today.
Gonna watch Beethoven Virus on her laptop!

xoxo.

P.S, I'm so glad everything has been resolved! Thank God.

Hello november!

2008-10-31T19:13:00.003+08:00

*
and it's the last day of October.
the closing of chapter 10, the opening of chapter 11.

goodbye work. travelling. hair cutting. lazing around.

hello driving license. gym. make up. and whatever else that's to come.
prayers that this month will be a fruitful one :)

Last day of work today! Instead of working, my boss took me out for yamcha.
We talked about LIFE, past-present-future. She's like a jie to me!
Said my goodbye to Phey who suddenly had to resign today as she leaves for Miri tomorrow. She's my Chinese partner. We always converse in Chinese and she's the sweetest girl ever! Sigh. So many goodbyes. Goodbye Phey, goodbye Bren.

anyway, for those of you who are free.
Beethoven Virus is a MUST. Im so hooked!
xoxo.

p.s, HELLO NOVEMBER.
be kind to me ; )

edit: damn. i feel so screwed.
options.
careful thinking.
decisions to be made.
i am at lost.

Breaking out.

2008-10-29T12:29:00.003+08:00

*
Counting down the days till the year dangerously ends,
I've realised that perhaps excuses of putting things off shouldn't exist in me anymore.
Even though I hoped to accompish so much,
Talk is cheap- procrastination got the better of me.

So the plans I've carefully written out are becoming a bunch of meaningless letters,
I'm just letting life live me instead of the other way round.
Everything's piling up like a garbage dump,
Even with the knowledge of it I'm just living in it without a flinch.

I should stop moping about the past.
I should stop living in my own dead world.
I should start fitting the jigsaw pieces into its places.
I should start breathing a new life with meaning.

Yes, I should.
& I will from this second.
*

I'm home!

2008-10-27T20:45:00.029+08:00

I'M BAAAACK!
And I wished I wasn't. The KL trip was seriously too short. Saddening!
But the getaway was awesome! I'm truly blessed ;D

The CIE Brilliance in Malaysia Awards Ceremony was alright. Nothing "GREAT".
There were like 200 other students from KL and Kuching who were there to collect
their awards. Anyway, the above picture is of the CIE Malaysian rep, the Minister of Education and the CIE rep!

My lecturer and I holding my CIE Certificates ;D

After the ceremony, travelled to Midvalley with my lecturer and her sister.
We met up with a few IS mates! It was awesome! Sigh. I miss my IS family!
We originally wanted to dine in Chillis but since it was packed and since we received
RM10 vouchers in Spaghettis, we decided to go there instead!

Deniz, Me, My lecturer; Ms Barb and her sister; Sophie!

Our dinner was good !
I guess Deniz and I really know how to order? HAHA.

At the train station, waiting for our train to arrive to go KL central then to Asia Jaya.
OMG. Transportation here SUCK BIG TIME. We had to wait 40 minutes for the train
to KL central and another 20 minutes to Asia Jaya. We arrived in Asia Jaya around 10:50? Last train is at 11 and we still had to catch the train back to Subang, but my luggage was in Armada Hotel in Asia Jaya. So Deniz and I ran from the station to the hotel, grabbed my luggage, and ran back. Exhausting, but anyway, WE MADE IT!

Us waiting. WAITING. WAAAAAAITING.
I like Singapore better. pfft.

Deniz and Oi Zien on top of me! Our feet were sore but there was no other bench available to sit on. Anyway, they're super skinny so it was like a bunch of
feathers on my lap?!

Posing in the train! Everyone were like staring at us but WHO CARES?!

AHJUMMA DENIZ. I know you're gonna kill me for uploading this picture,
but since I'm here, you won't be able to murder me just yet!

Ah poh Oi Zien!

Me ;D !

Us pretending to sleep. Evidently Oi Zien is a bad poser.
She kept giggling in all our sleeping poses. EESH.

Photograph before heading off to MYDIN then Sunway!
Deniz and Oi Zien had they're own stuff to do which couldn't be avoided after 3,
so I spent the day alone in Sunway. Sunway has changed! It's so BIG. It was too
Big so I got bored of shopping and went to watch Eagle Eye instead! Nice!

Sungai Wang! There was this whole crowd full of Malays gathered just outside
the mall, strutting off their shuffle moves! REALLY GOOD. I found myself grinning
like an idiot when they all shyly entered the dance circle and then started dancing superbly, forgetting their shyness!

Deniz and I in Sungai Wang, waiting for Kor to bring us for Mamak Food ;D

Kor, Felix, Deniz, Me, Sham and Tim!

Tim my timun! Met him online in 2004 through Drew, met up with him in 2005
and 2006 in KL and here we are again in 2008!

Shammie my ham sandwich! Haven't met her for 2 years!
We met in E06 and yeah! Love her to bits!

The baseball machine- press to play, make the balls go faster and higher/lower!

This is how the practice field looks like!

Waiting for the ball to shoot out from the machine!

Deniz tempted to bash my kor =__="

I LOVE BASEBALL.
I seriously felt like I was in a Korean movie or something! I think I've been
too influenced by the kdrama "9 ends 2 out" which features scenes like this!

Resting just after our baseball game!
AAGH. I miss the baseball place which was on the upper roof of 1U.
Gorgeous place, gorgeous view! The owner was super nice; Janet!
She even stood on the sidelines and jumped up and down cheering for me!
My personal cheerleader ;P

Masks for sale in the Halloween Exhibit Stalls.

Kor and I in the Halloween Exhibition hosted on G Floor in 1U.

Had dinner in SS14 near the Dewan Badminton/Futsal.
YUMMMMMMMMY.
Although eating in classy restaurants is nice, but I still prefer hawker stalls
where I can eat a variety of food and not burn a hole in my pocket ;)

Deniz and I ordered Lo Bak koh, Fried Mushrooms, Popiah, Stingray and Taiwanese
Super Spicy Sausage. OMG. You should have seen my kor, Deniz and I, ESPECIALLY
me! I was crying like mad as the super spicy sausage was a KILLER. It's a billion times worse than eating wasabi. Eating the sausage is like committing suicide o.O
But it was overall such a hillarious and memorable experience!

Let's just say, the KL trip was too short!
But I seriously enjoyed myself. Deniz was such a sweetheart and really took
care of me. I stole her pillow and blankie and bolster :/ And for the first time,
I went out with my Kor! We met in 2003 in KL through a camp, and somehow
would "sort of" talk to each other online, though he was always BUSY. PFFT.
Then as the years passed, we got closer and we finally meet again :)
He's the best! He really took care of me and made my short stay in KL such an
awesome one! Poor him! Because of me, we went to the wrong airport and he
had to rush me off to the right one!

Well :) thank God I'm home!
Gonna sleep! School tomorrow and LOTS OF THINKING TO DO.
Thank you ESPECIALLY to Kor and Deniz,
Great meeting up with you guys: shamtim :P
and thanks tudung lady - appreciated!

xoxo.

Textbook definition of a geek.

;
and she finally graduates from Pivot Point Hair Academy, completing:
Module 1: Scientific Approach to Hair Sculpture (Ladies)!
After my final haircut on the mannequin, Olivia came for a haircut.
From a same length convex hairstyle, to a increase layered convex hairstyle!
At first I was gonna cut her hair with my beginner scissors, but my friend; a hairstylist
asked me to come to him and then he offered me his proffesional scissors and comb.
His scissors alone costs a few hundreds but WOAH, really nice to use! I felt like a real
professional using his super gorgeous scissors! I'm getting one from KL this trip! :)

Alright! Gotta go pack!
`xoxo :)*

You leave me breathless.

2008-10-20T19:18:00.006+08:00

;
The weekend was spent away with puppet performances.
Rushing in the dark, putting props up, getting puppets up on time.
The adrenaline rush I get makes me feel so part of the team, I will truly miss this.
1 last show in Kenningau and it's the end of our shows for the year, as well as my last performance.

Well, I can't wait for my getaway this Thursday. 4 nights away; sheer bliss.
Somehow I feel so drained these days. I need to be recharged.
Anyhow, I'm really thankful to God for the opportunity to be away in a different
surrounding. It should allow me to breathe new air; clear my thoughts and to
perhaps, find a deeper meaning in life. Upgrading self time!

P.S. My old baby is back :)
ecstatic.

<3

The ahjummas date!

2008-10-15T18:38:00.006+08:00

First picture is of Choi and I, second picture is a poser one with Ida!
OMG. Can't believe my ahjumma who was also my desk neighbour this year in
college is going off tomorrow to Sydney for translation studies! Will miss her heaps!
She just came back from Korea on Monday night and she got me this gorgeous diary
planner for next year! Really happy about it since I've been searching for one! I'm a
total planner girl! Without a diary planner, I won't be able to be an organised person
cause I'm a pretty forgetful person! Anyway, sigh, today's lunch date was just not
enough. We all have too much and I mean TOO MUCH to talk about!

Cut this hairstyle today. Not too happy with the fringe though.
The fringe should be more uneven! Gonna do more notching and slicing on it tomorrow!

Since I finished the first hairstyle pretty quickly, I got Wilson to teach me how
to curl hair with the curl iron. This hairstyle is the whole head layered hairstyle
which I blogged about in my last post? Now it's got curls and I'm pretty happy
with how the curls turned out ;D YAY.

Work today was funny! During my working hours of 4-6, no one came. So I played
this Disney Cartoon Song Guessing Game with my friend; the boss! She kept on saying
that every song was from Lion King =___=" I suspect she loves Lion King too much!
Then when Bren came back from her free time, both her and the boss played against
each other to guess popular/used-to-be-popular songs from Ronan Keating, Westlife,
Leona Lewis, Ricky Martin, Nsync, Britney Spears, MLTR and etc! It was hilarious!

Well, gotta go! XOXO.

Perth trip and weekend recap!

2008-10-11T13:01:00.100+08:00

Annyonggg!

On the first day I arrived, Lisa took me for Korean Dinner!
We had bibimbap, kimchi pancake, and beef bulgogi! YUMMY.

Sarah, Yin Hong and I at this cafe where we had the most sinful
ice chocolate shakes with ice cream and whip cream!

Public Toilet near the Perth Convention Centre! Opens like a lift,
then classical music starts to play, theres the washing basin where soap,
water and the hand dryer automatically operates. Below is the toilet bowl
and there's the toilet roll machine where you've to press the blue button for
toilet paper!

By the esplanade which was FREEZING COLD!

I thought this was some monument until I look carefully and realised
it was a Sun Dial!

The background is the bell tower and does anyone spot two starfish? ;D

The above 3 pictures were taken in Oyster Bar!
There's Irene and I. We met 5 years ago in this Shanghai tour trip and
then lost contact. Then coincidentally, we were on the same flight to Perth,
also placed in the same row of seats so TADAA!

This is in a Japanese restaurant; Hanami!
The food was good and I loved how the napkins were folded! Creative!

Tudung Lady & I!
We met online through my bestie, and our parents know each other, but
we never met face to face since he's in Perth and I'm in KK. And we lost contact
for 3 years but ngam ngam he found my email and messaged me on the day
I was to leave for Perth. So we arranged to meet up and we clicked off well :)

WAFFLES WITH RUM RAISIN GELATO, WHIP CREAM & MAPLE SYRUP.

Superbly delicious.
& yours truly was a very happy girl that day.

Youth Steamboat dinner! Yummy but not enough!

The Perth Royal Showgrounds Map!

Bulldogs from a bulldog competition which we watched for a while.

Homeless dogs- SUPER ADORABLE.

I took a photo with this silver angel lady and then after thanking her,

she suddenly sprinkled stardust on my shoulder!

An acrobatic show we watched which was really good! This super flexible girl
was bending her body into all kinds of positions, at the same time, balancing
lighted candles on its holder all over her body! She's good! Didn't manage to
take other pictures since I would have to use flash, and my flash seemed pretty
disturbing to the performers who definitely needed 100% concentration for the
stunts they pulled! My fave performance was one done by this 14 year old girl!

This bird kept running so I couldn't get a clear picture. But she looks like she
has a brain tumour eh or a beehive hairstyle ;D

Aren't the pigs just sooo adorable especially their curly tails?
Crispy barbequed pork! :S

Aww.. "And pigs might fly". The famous quote from Babe!

A sleeping Brahman bull!

Hidden behind Hsiao Wui and Lisa is Jean; a highland cattle!
She is 18 months and is VERYYYY HUGE.

The baby chicks had like their little own playground where they had to sit
on the seats and the circle thingy would spin and spin and the chicks would
scream: WHEEEE!

A show bag station where lisa bought two showbags in which I had to carry
1 back and IT NEARLY BROKE MY SHOULDER O.O

Jie and I resting on the benches of this cooking show place (below picture)

A lady chef was preparing for a show later on. Too bad we missed it since
the cooking show was like 1/2 hour later and we wanted to explore around.

Freebiees! Debby! Freebies ;D This ice cream was GOOD.

The above three pictures are taken in this Scary House show in the Perth Royal Show.
Didn't go for the ride cause it costed 8 bucks per entry and I'm not easily scared by
this sorta thing. It was some 3D show which both Lisa and Hsiao Wui did go and well,
Lisa said it was interesting, and some people did scream their lungs out!

Sari and my jie! One of the nights, we were invited by Sari for a

Hari Raya dinner! It was an awesome experience as I've always wanted to see
how it was like to attend a Hari Raya dinner celebration! The food was good,
ESPECIALLY the delicious honey chicken with spices!

On Friday, when my sister had to work, went to visit the Art and National Musuem.
Got really inspired in the Art Musuem. Too bad I wasn't allowed to take photos of
the art pictures exhibited in the musuem!

Miss Grace why are you sulking?! Get Joyce to give you some joy!

Grace: Take a photo of me and my new purse! I love my new purse!
Dont you think its so pretty ;) (beams like a sweet innocent kid)

Mel, Joyce, Ms Bones and Debby!

Allison, Serene, Amanda, Lilian and I in Utopia after dinner!

Theresa and I!

Serene attempting her first shot at the miniature golf course! The first hole,
Serene completed in just 2 SHOTS, my sister in 3 and me :( in 7! But after a while,
I started improving and finished one hole in 2 shots!

Yam with fried onions on top, fried rice, chicken wing, herbal egg, pizza slice,
chinese style hot dog, salted veggie with pork hamburger and a slice of rich
chocolate cake (which has been eatened already).

LUNCH TIME. Lunch period is always my fave fave fave. In fact, all meal times
are my favourite. Haha. Lunch that day was good!

My jie caught us all in action when we were laughing and yeah,
this photo is one of my fave's cause everyone looks so fresh and natural!

Esther, Joyce and I :) My whacky RED teammates!

Jordon, Jie and Debby! Guess how old Jordon is?!
He looks around 16-19 ish right BUT HE'S ONLY 13 YEARS OLD.
SO FREAKING YOUNG o.O

Mel and I!

Ken helping me get drinking water :)

Take 1: My jie and a trying-to-look-seductive Serene.
Take 2: And naughty Amanda decides to push Serene's face,
not to mention her lips on my jie's cheeks! Tsk tsk!

Allison and Amanda. I think? Okay, I'm confused now.
I think Allison is the one on the left, and Amanda the one on the right :S

Dinner at a BBQ Pork coffee shop after the maze! Entering the shop immediately
reminded me of how much I missed bbq-ed pork. CRISPY PORK=YUMMYYY.

Went out with Yin Hong and Sarah one last time before I left!
We stuffed ourselves with mexican food, gulped boost juice and ended
with yummy waffles with rum raisin gelato ice cream at Gelares!
Back home's waffles with rum raisin gelato is NO WHERE CLOSE to Aussie's one!

Eva; Lisa!

Wall-E; Me! Okay, I should have looked more sad.

My sister took me to Freemantle to walk around and get inspired!
However, we covered the whole place pretty quickly so we decided to watch Wall E!
Although the movie has no "solid" plot, but there were many scenes that were very
touching! To remember the movie, my sister and I decided to impersonate
Eva and Wall E ;) Haha.

WA's No. 1 Fish and Chips with vinegar and salt in Cicerella's! Delicious!
And chili mussels with bread! It was good but I got full too fast since I had
fried chili squid tentacles while waiting for everyone! Sigh, sad case didn't
get to take a group photo with everyone who went for the dinner!
*Ken, send to me the group photo that you managed to take yeah!

Lunch before rock climbing in a Korean coffee shop near Myers.
Icey Ice fruit smoothies and bibimbap! Delicious but too filling!
Dear Serene treated us lunch and jie treated the drinks!

Debby celebrating with us over her successful rock climb! Haha.

Lisa's favourite picture of the day! Serene: I can fly!!

Lisa trying to Karate Kick Serene and Serene being very happy about it ;D

Sigh! During rock climbing, my camera just had to have some emotional problems
of its own so as you can see, the above few pictures are not that great. But had a
lot of fun climbing though it seriously caused great pains to my arms the next day!!

Well, as you know, dear Debby, Serene and my sister sent me off!
Here's photos of us abusing the stuff toy animals in the tourist shop in the airport.
Good thing the shop staff didn't kick us out!

The above two pictures are of me cutting my mannequins hair ;D
This hairstyle is pretty easy and as you can see, the end result is a complete
layered hairdo on the whole head. Hadn't blown my mannequin's hair dry,
so the hair style looks like a bed-messy, tousled hairstyle look.

Last Friday, washed, cut and blowed Deniz's hair in the saloon! It felt great!
At first, I was pretty scared that I'd screw up, but yeah, Deniz kept encouraging me
to relax and said nevermind if I made a mistake since her hair is long and still can grow back! Cut a convex hairstyle for her and did pointing and slicing so that her hair would have a softer look! Doesn't she look sooo pretty ;)

Anyway, Deniz left on Sunday noon and I konked out the rest of the day.
Only today I've finally "recovered" from my Perth trip. Weird!
Today, went to school to take photograph, then went for hairdressing class!
Washed, blowed and styled Wilson's hair and got know him better!
Made friends with the new student; Rowena and she's pretty quiet.

Work was good, told my boss/friend that she's SCARY.
We reviewed the market survey and report I conducted and wrote and I
did a GREAT job ;D as she says, BUT except for one shop which wasn't as
detailed as the others. That particular shop was hard to do my research eh!
The man kept following me around and there were SO MANY THINGS in the
shop so I had a hard time memorizing the prices and taking note of all the stuff
sold in his shop. Tough life ;(

Well, to end off, SIGH. I got a call today asking whether I was interested
in joining the crew of this British Company who's coming down to film
in Gayana Island this plane crash scene. There's a total of 60 people in the
crew of which there's 25 actors/actress! I've been asked whether
I wanna act as the locals! There will be people from Jakarta, KL, Tokyo,
Seoul, Hong Kong, and UK. We'll be staying in Gayana Island Resort throughout
the filming time. BUT THE HORRIBLE TROUBLE IS, it's from next Tuesday
till Friday and I'm off to KL on Wednesday. GRRRRRRR!

Saddening -.-''
Well this has been a looong post so that's all! xoxo.

Dancing in the moonlight

2008-10-09T20:38:00.002+08:00

And I'm back to my hectic life!
;
Woke up depressingly early today, at EIGHT AM, and went to school.
Went to meet my two great teachers who helped me so much during college.
It's set that I shall leave for KL on the 22nd, but still deciding when to return!
Should I stay till the 26th or 27th? HMMMMM.

Went for hairdressing class at 11 and woah, things are different!
Yoanne, Han han and Gilbert have left. It seems so QUIET.
Did well today! Yay! So happy that my hairstyle turned out well.
I'm improving! Anyway, Deniz's coming down from Lahad Datu tomorrow
and she's letting me cut and wash her hair and my dear teacher will supervise if needed.
I CAN'T WAIT. It's gonna be so cool and fun, but a tad bit scary!

Came home at 3+ and stressed over uni application.
I've already applied for Fashion Technology and have gotten accepted,
but now I'm thinking that the production section doesn't really work with me.
There's another course which is a direct 4 year degree course (not a 2 year diploma
like my Fashion Tech), & it has Fashion Tech as well as Marketing & Merchandising
included in the Fahion Course. And that's what I want actually! To have a course
with Design, Production, Marketing and Merchandising. The trouble is, to apply
for this course, a "folio" is needed. And.. I don't have one. Also, I'm scared that this
course won't teach me the basics of how to do fashion illustration, designing, sewing,
patternmaking. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH. I'm so screwed.

I hate having to encounter such crossroads in life.
Very depressing. God, please help me. Prayers people! :(

Went for work at 4 and all went well. Lotsa new cool stuff but I'm still
holding on to my beloved Cubic Zirconia ring, and waiting to ask my friend;
boss, for a nice discount ;D It's the prettiest ring EVER.

Anyway, can't wait for MS. LAMB; to arrive tomorrow! Picking her at 9am.
She'll follow me for class where I'll cut and wash for her, then we'll have
lunch together, meet Kev and Soon Seng for Badminton at 3:30, have
dinner at around 6:30 and then play boardgame. CANT WAIT.

Wanted to upload photos but I've seriously gotta ciao and look through
my uni stuff so, till next time! xoxo.

Hungry :(

2008-10-08T13:23:00.002+08:00

Dying of starvation, waiting for mom to bring lunch home!!
IM FINALLY BACKK! Oh I miss home so much, especially my room.
Had a good night's sleep yesterday :) Snuggling my blankie.

My arms ache so bad that I can barely move.
Went for rock climbing from 12-3, just before my flight.
It was really a good experience and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
When I climbed up, I suddenly realised I didn't know how to get down.
Then the instructor was like, LET GO.
o.O LET GO? NO WAY.
I freaked out for a moment but when I did let go, it was at first scary, but fun!
Debby came too and she and I had the same expression when we realised
we had to "let go". Serene and Lisa weren't shocked since they've done it before.

Went to the airport and while waiting, we fooled around in the tourist shop.
Have quite a few photos of everyone being posers, but since my camera
has low battery which means I cant upload the photos until I charge it,
then I guess I'll have to do it another time! Still very tired and.. tired!

Anyway, thanks Serene and Debby for sending me off ;)
Really sweet of you guys!
I'm gonna ciao now since I WANNA EAT!
Fish noodles. I've missed it soo much. mmm.
xoxo.

Goodbye Perth, Hello KK.

2008-10-07T01:36:00.003+08:00

In about 14 hours, yours truly leaves for home sweet home.
Excited yet sad. It's just a mixture of weird feelings!
Have packed my bags and they have reached the 20kg limit.

I so do not look forward to the hand carry of books which weigh 7kg.

Why do the last days of a holiday always SUCK?
Okay, it sucked in a good way ;D Haha.
Went for lunch with Sarah and Yin Hong where we had Mexican food
and boost juice, AND MEL, we had my gelare waffles with rum raisin!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Then we watched a street performance which was really comical!

Met my sis in the train station where we went to Freemantle.
Read finish the last of Picture Perfect on the train; book's not bad.
Walked around Freeo and fell in love with "the store".
Everything there is so artsy fartsy beautiful beautiful!

Went to Il Gelato for rum raisin on a waffle cone. Fattening but good.
Somehow there's more "rum" in Il Gelato's then Gelare's.
After visiting most of the shops, we decided to catch a movie!
Watched Wall-E which was cute and touching in a "robot" way? Haha.

Met the dear church youth for dinner at Cicerello's; WA's No.1 place
for Fish and Chips! Had chilli mussels, the famous fish and chips and
just before the youth came, pigged on chili squid tentacles! Mmmm!

Originally, my sister and I was supposed to eat dinner with Serene and Debby.
But before I knew it, so many turned up which was great ;D
More fellowship, more laughter. DAMN. I'm going back.

Next destination after dinner was Debby's workplace; Utopia!
Is it me, or are Perth people just bubble tea fanatics? Or is it my sister only?

A bunch went for karaoke while another bunch played big2 and bluff.
Bluff was good! Everyone's such a liar. Haha.

And yeah, I'm back in the room now. Lisa's asleep o.O
IM AWAKE.
Well..
I'll miss you TJC youth ;D
Love you all heaps and thanks for being so awesome.

I'm glad I've got..

a friendly sweet tooth; Mel.
a shy sweet; Deb.
a loud boney; Ms Bones.
a crazy; Theresa.

a pair of sometimes talkative; twins.
a bubbly giggly princess; Serene.
a joyful smiley; Joyce.

a cute funny; Maya.
a childhood friend; Hsiao Wui.

okay. I'm sleepy/ cheers til KK ;D

xoxo.

Hero, heroine.

2008-10-05T23:04:00.004+08:00

Okay, I don't wanna leave Perth! : (
As much as I hate the weather and expensive prices,
I absolutely adore the wonderful youth in church here!
They're like family- super duper cool people which do not exist back home.
I mean, back home's youth are so stuck in their "cliques".
SIGH.
Just when I'm getting comfortable here, I've got to go.

Went for an RE outing today where we played miniature golf,
did mazes, played some group activities, saw some animals and had lunch!
It was GOOD. Had fun though I actually expected more for Mini Golf!
Was in Red Team where Wilson was the leader and my cool teammates
were Johnathan, Jordan, Ms. Bones, Joyce, Yen Lim and err.. a tomboy.
OOPS. I forgot a teammate's name.

Got to know more church people which was awesome.

And yay ; ) Took lotsa photos which I will upload when I get home.
But, I suspect it wont be anytime soon because I've got so much in store
waiting for me back home! AAAH. I'm feeling a bit stressed about going home!
There's too much waiting for me ;/

Anyway, IM HUNGRY.
I wanna eat gelare's waffles with rum and raisin gelato ice cream.
Saddening ;(

Life your life

2008-10-03T16:26:00.004+08:00

Went to the art musuem and national museum today!
The art musuem was gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

I love some of the pictures textures, brush strokes, colour schemes and feel.

I have quite a few favourites but unfortunately, no cameras allowed.
Anyhow, I feel inspired and can't wait to get home to attack my art block!

The national musuem was awesome too.
Saw many stufed mammals, butterflies, sea creatures and antique things.

I especially loved the "touch" section where I got to hold and feel the different
bones and bone structures of different animals! Very very cool ;D

I've been doing some reflecting today and I feel a tad disappointed
with how the months after college has unfolded. Really pray that when I
return, I'll utilize the rest of my year wisely so that there will be no regrets!

Gonna watch dirty, sexy money! Okay I know it sounds like not "clean",
but it's alright. Don't let the series title fool you ;D
It's really good and it just keeps me and Charles guessing!
You guys soo have to watch it AND "Death Race" too. Good stuff!

I'm off.

xoxo.

*listen to live your life by T.I ft Rihanna/
which is also close to Numa Numa by Ozone*
Goodstuffffff!

Omg. I must soo meet the fricking bird.

2008-10-02T00:50:00.006+08:00

Watched "The House Bunny" today and it was worth it!
Seriously hilarious till my sis kept pulling my baju being unable to contain it!

Shelly's just so innocent or should I say a complete bimbo so it gets
really funny; her whole facial and verbal expression is priceles!
You guys should watch it ;D
Katherine Macphee is in it too but I don't understand why she has to be pregnant!

Anyway, went for a Hari Raya dinner today! My first ever experience.
At first my sister and I stood just outside the door contemplating on whether
to go or not to go cause AWKWARD LA. I saw like this old uncle and aunty so
I thought it was her friend's parents and that it was some "family" dinner.
But turned out it was the other host's housemate's dad who was just joining in.

At first there was like 9 of us, including my sister and I.
So at that time, things went alright and enjoyed the dinner.
Then 2 couples joined in, okay, still alright,
AND THEN, A WHOLE HERD OF PEOPLE SUDDENLY BARGED IN.
My sister and I were o.O speechless.
When the house was really packed with all the Malaysians dressed
in Raya attire, then yeah, really felt the Hari Raya mood ;D
Although it got awkward but I felt the "family" spirit with them.
They were all nice and warm which was good!

Around 9 my sister had a few friends over for UNO.
Losers had to eat a cracker with lotsa wasabi.
It all went well whereby everyone kena-ed except me,
AND THEN THE LAST DRATTED GAME JUST HAD TO GIVE IN.
And "dear" Anoushka had to like SQUEEEZE so much wasabi for me.
; ) But yours truly knows how to eat wasabi so it didn't work on me!

Haha. Well, Lisa's asleep, and I'm feeling a tad bit hungry.

I wanna watch more episodes of Miss No Good :(

Whine Up.

2008-09-30T20:23:00.003+08:00

I've got a splitting headache.
A REALLY REALLY BAD ONE.
And my shoulder aches so bad from all the bags.
I'm so glad we took a taxi home.

Went to Perth Royal Show today!
It was overall a great experience.

Took lotsa photos which I will upload when I'm back home in KK.

It's scary how one can be so oblivious and just spend excessively.
I've currently only got lik 50 bucks remaining to last till I leave :
Seriously have to be much wiser in spending.

In exactly 1 week yours truly will return home.
Honestly, I cant wait. I miss my wonderful home AND

my BED, PILLOW, BLANKIE AND BOLSTER. Sigh.

So over it.

2008-09-27T23:34:00.003+08:00

I wish I brought my camera port thingy!
Then I can upload all the photos :(

Woke up pretty late this morning since I slept at 3+am?
Had chinese lunch in church and it was GOOD. MISS IT SO MUCH.
Sat with Theresa, Mel, Ruth and my sister during service.
We were definitely a row of sleepy girls.

After service, there was a church history exposure andd
We went tract-ing ;D Super Fun.
I mean, even though the streets we visited to play postman
were like SOO DEAD QUIET, it still felt awesome ;)

Came back for station games.
First Station/Ash: not too good. HARDD.
Second Station/Kev & Wilson: FUN.
Third Station/Maya: quite fun :P

The games were really unique eh.

Anyway, we had steam boat after church. Yummay.
Then cleaned up and went to Hungry Jacks.
Didn't order anything cause I WANTED ICE CREAM.
Well, ;D my wish was granted as we went McDs.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Well, me is stuck to:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=BMb9Gok2C2Y
Katherine McPhee; Over It :)

xoxo.
Gonna watch Deja Vu.
And meeting my unc/aunt and cousin TOMORO.
YIPEEE.

God is good, all the time.

2008-09-26T20:30:00.003+08:00

Yesterday night, Siah emailed me the most awesome news.
I thought I was dreaming since I figured I didn't get it.
After all, it's already late September.
But as the truth sunk in, I started screaming like a mad woman.

AND, I couldn't sleep all night.

Then, this morning, as I woke up and went to cook brunch,
my sis started screaming for me to come to the room.
And, the unexpected happen.
My mom had called and told my sis something else too.
Something I never ever ever EVER expected.
Dumbstruck, paralysed with shock and joy, I cried.

God, thank you.
Seriously.
God.

*inhales*

Siah emailed:
"You know what? I heard you got
TOP IN MALAYSIA FOR BUSINESS STUDIES!!!!"

and my mum called to tell me:
"You also got top in Malaysia for Economics"

OMGGGGGGGGG.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

I thought I didnt get it for Business Studies,
BUT HECK. ECONOMICS WAS NEVER EXPECTED.

Thank you God.

; ) yourss truly is flying to KL.
getting me award on the 23rd of October.

GOD!!

2008-09-26T00:37:00.003+08:00

I am feeling beyond ecstatic right now.
Is this a dream? If it is, I don't wanna wake up from it.
Oh, God. GOD. GOD!!

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

I seriously can't wait for tomorrow to confirm the details.
But yeah :) IF IT'S ALL TRUE,

I am so glad, I aimed for what seemed impossible,
and ACHIEVED.

SIAH TIONG SHIE.
WHY AREN'T YOU ONLINE :(

So over it.

2008-09-22T22:06:00.001+08:00

It's blistering cold over here!
I am so unequipped for this weather!
It went to 3 degrees yesterday and when I woke up,
Yours truly was HALF FROZEN, and still had to get up and shower.

But yeah, enjoying myself lots over here :)
Been having much independence to venture around and shop!
Bought some stuff today at a pretty good bargain? YAY.

LOL. Okay, I'm gonna watch Prom Night!
Meeting Gabe Chip tomoro! ^^

Heaven.

2008-09-21T01:47:00.002+08:00

Big Bang- Heaven.
My current fave song.
Hearing it just gives me this tingling sensation.
;) a good feeling.

So far, Perth has been gorgeous.
The weather is like an air-conditioned room,
so it gets enjoyable walking and not worrying about burning!

I love all the boutique cafes and one-off fashion retail stores.
As what Gretchen from Mean Girls would quote:
"SO FETCH."
I just know Melbourne would be awesome.
Seriously can't wait!

So far, although my sister's pretty busy,
She's been great bringing me around and treating me!
Looking forward to the rest of my time in Perth.
I just know it'll unfold well ;D

To make the most of my Perth trip,
I've even drawn up like a schedule, planning out what to
do and where to go! So far, pretty packed!
Tomorrow, I'll be meeting 2 college friends! Can't wait!

Cherrios till more ;) xoxo.
P.S, the Susan will be tickling the guards of Buckingham

Palace tomorrow. OMG. Wish I was there.

Leaving;

2008-09-18T09:35:00.002+08:00

In approximately 13 hours, yours truly leaves for Perth!
AND, she hasn't packed finished! GAAAH.
But I know I definitely won't be bored on the way because
I'm bringing over someone's Nintendo DS Lite to Perth,
Which means.. I GET TO PLAY WHILE BORED ;D

Anyway, yesterday night was awesome!
Wee Khang treated Kev, Zin Zee and I to dinner!
Stuffed ourselves and then went to Carca Sean.

The whole night was just filled with laughter.

2008-09-15T23:47:00.003+08:00

Today was a ungreat/great day!

The ungreat part; the morning unravelled badly,
I screwed up in my layered haircutting,
AND MY STUPID BALLET SLIP ONS HAD TO GIVE WAY.
I fell flat on my butt/back and scratched my skin.
and no one helped, everyone just stared.
Pathetic? yes. They're all pathetic!

The great part; watched finished Lunch Queen.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
I love the main actress Nat chan who's like..
Hard to say, but I hope to be like her ; D

Also, had fun at work with Bren and Phey!
They're the best :) super super best!
Bren's like this real crazy girl to talk anything.

xoxo.

Closer.

2008-09-11T21:17:00.002+08:00

Was looking through my 2008 resolutions.

I remember myself ambituously writing one
after another, increasing the list as I the minutes passed.
Just scanning through the list today makes me feel,

disappointed?

Out of at the list of 25 "to do's",
I've only successfully completed a mere 5.
The other 20? Pretty uncertain.
The year's ending, and I've 3 1/2 months more.

Let's see how it goes! :

Falling apart.

2008-09-07T15:20:00.003+08:00

I'm on the way to getting my L License!
LIKE FINALLY.

Sat for bengkel and then had practical.
The driving practical part was tough.
I was totally blur with the whole clutch, brake, engine deal.
It was chaotic!

sigh.
Sigh.
SIGH.

Hope it'll all turn out well :)
Only gonna get L License end of this month.

Why?

Becauseeee,
I'm flying to Perth on the 18th to see my jie!
Will be there for about 20+ days!
Hope to meet all my friends there!
Andrew Lyn, if you're reading this,

Hairdressing & Retail Life,
One word:

EXHAUSTING.

Cut a vertical, horizontal, diagonal back hairstyle today!
And got to cut a fringe today!
Part of it was HARD,
Part of it was FUN,
Part of it was EASY ;D
Overall? Pretty satisfied with my work today!
Tomorrow I learn to wash hair! WOOHOO!!

For retail life, did tagging and stock checking today.
It was okay, but in the long run, definitely tedious.
Which got me thinking, wow, retail life in this aspect is
kinda complicated? I mean there's so many things to do!
Which got me thinking,

WHAT DO I REALLY WANNA DO IN FUTURE?

I know I'm gonna study Fashion Technology,
But.
After that, how?
Work life is gonna be so tough. Will I be ready?
WHAT WILL I DO ANYWAY?
Scary.

Only God knows!

Running up that hill.

The One About The Spray Bottle
- taken from Karen Cheng's blog (http://www.karencheng.com.au/category/parenting-kids)
- recommended by Siah! (thanks Siah. She makes me laugh & the kids are adorable!!)

My 3yo and I were walking through the cosmetics section in Target the other day.

Sean: MUM! Look over there! It’s Bob the Builder on a spray bottle! Can you believe that?! BOB THE BUILDER! ON A SPRAY BOTTLE! That’s so cool!

Me: Oh hey! Yeah that’s pretty cool. What do you think the spray is for?

He suddenly stood very still. His eyes opened wide and they darted around nervously. He started to speak in a very deep and very serious voice.

Sean: It’s a spray for killing Bob the Builder. If you see Bob the Builder, you spray it on him and he dies.

Me: Like a cockroach?

Sean: Yeah. Just like a cockroach.

Me: So… um, shall we buy some Bob the Builder spray?

Sean: Better not. I like Bob the Builder.

Me: Ok. Me too.

Must haves.
Was surfing the net and I came across these
2 designers who really knit classy with attitude together.
I love these few pieces ;D

Vivienne Westwood.

Now you can go under the rain in style.

Imagine going for prom night with a punk attitude.

bold.

I REALLY LOVE THIS DRESS.

& this bag too!!

&& introducing,
Yohji Yamamoto!
the black/silver designer.

It may look simple,
*in front*

but check out the woven plaids behind!
funky.
definitely.

This metalic silver jacket really is a killer!
IWANT.

the balloon dress alone looks classy,
but with the jacket, the whole deal looks eccentric.

metallic tube overalls anybody?
check out the back!

real sexy.

maybe, definitely.

Day by day.

drained.
don't know why these days I feel as if life has been sucked out of me.
i feel like a walking zombie.

achieved my A levels goals, thanks to God.
seriously. without Him, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
I feel so glad I stuck through my late nights of studying.

;)

anyway, started on my hairdressing course.
so far, so good!

My love for her.
