Amanda is trying to study for TEE :/
Dno why, but it hasnt fully hit me that these exams are finally here.
Maybe I'll get a shock and wakeup call when I walk into physics tmr :O
Kinda excited about going over to Melbourne & Sydney after the exams, but it'll be two long weeks and I know I'm gna miss him.

Hey:)
Poor blog been pretty dead.
I'm feeling quite dead at the moment too. Midway through the exams
Eng down!Chem down!Physics down!
Now it's just the two maths left, and I'm ready to be done with semester one exams. Cmon, quickly!

I think I'm feeling alot less dead in this exams than last years, since I'm not as stressed up so am pacing myself happily with the studying :)
Studying wasnt going very good for chemistry a couple days ago since I had jessica mauboy in my head the whole time. How distracting><

My aunty and family's coming over to perth end of this month. And all 4 of them are staying in our house for A MONTH.
Sorry to say this, but :(
A whole month's just a wee bit too imposing, especially in this little squished up house of ours. Grahh I feel bad for thinking this way, but it's only true!

hehe maybe my next post will be rants on how peeved i am that there's 7 people squishing in our 3 bedroom house. lol til then

2009-04-28T19:36:00.002+08:00

School awaits us tmr, ohhhh very whoopee...

Dont worry too much guys, it is truly a tough thing to fix "study" and "holiday" together. Especially since we're so used to not having a single homework during holidays until yr 12 arrived.
Jordin sparks sings JUST TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME~~~ (:

I spent my arvo today most effetively compared with the whole of last week!
BEcause I finished my 3 weeks worth of physics summaries all in one day =D
YES.
But now I still have the whole lot of calc and applic and english and whatttttnot
Which I'm predicting I cant get done in one night.
So welll screw it
I hope I shall commit to drowning in my books when term 2 starts tmr. I guess I really need to do that, it's just not happening what the shitezz?

Last night was my last shift at subway!
NO MORE COOKIES
NO MORE CHICKEN FILLET WITH BACON
NO MORE MEATBALLS
NO MORE FREE SUBWAY BOOO =(
I decided to quit, mainly cos I wanted to go back to youth every friday night. Been drifting away for too long, making up too many excuses. Go youth. Bye subway
Maybe I can lose some cookie fat while Im away :)

Okay so brace ourselves for sch tmr
woooooooooooooooooo

2009-04-22T22:28:00.001+08:00

Hiii

It's just down to the last week of holidays! Sobs.
The past 5 days.. sleepovers and whatnot!
On sat was the sleepover at clarissa's house and it was so nice. The girls had the whole house to themselves cos their parents are overseas for an extended period of time.
So they had like this massive couch/bed in front of the tv for us to stretch out and literally sleep/eat there. So comfy and cosy.

And these sisters omg.. They turned their parents room into their wardrobe! >< They had racks of dresses and clothes, shelves of accessories and clutches, an insane bunch of belts and like a real crazy collection of bags!! I was pretty stunned cos I thought these stuff were like only ever on tv lol. But their bags oh jeez, they like arranged according to colour, and they looked pretty much the same with slightly different sizes and shapes. Why buy so many?! Goshhhhhhhhhh

We ended up sprawling all over the floor in that room, chatting about random stuff at midnight haha and then got back to watching gossipgirl til 3am! Too bad we didn't get that much progress cos we started right at the beginning of season 1 again.
3am was a disaster, cos the next morning was church and we were supposed to wake up at 7am! Oh surprise we woke up at 8.15am which is when we're actually supposed to be in church already..

Anyway, after church and lunch and all, Jamaica came over to my house to stay for 3 nights. Oh dear it meant I was gonna be so screwed for homework but nvm. We did girly stuff makeup and sillly hairdos that night for fun and lotsa laughs.
But I had to work on both monday and tue for half days, left her to watch the rest of gossipgirl at home. I don't get to watch it =(

Yesterday, I think it was, we went down to harbor town to shOp!!
It was my FIRST time shopping since singapore. Some super self control isn't it! :P
And basically yst was awesome, I stepped out of almost every shop with something nice. My main purpose going is to get clarissa her 18th's present, but I did end up spending beyond that, I'm ashamed to say. Anyhooo I found sth really REALLY SWEET for clarissa. It's really soooo pretty I love it! This oval shaped mirror with the top of it crowned with this graceful white and pink patterned ceramic material, with the gentliest bit of pretty ribbon flowing. And the bottom of it is the same white and pink material but it's extended down with a stand like that of a wine glass, a heavy bottom to hold it all. Sounds pretty doesn't it? :)

Ritual had this really good sale of jewellery- 2pcs for 10bucks! Their original price is like between $15-$25 each? I'm so happy with that!
Valleygirl and temt at harbor town is so shit now, all the clothes are eeww and they had like a quarter of their store empty off clothes. Not like before..
The rest of the shops we went into were good :) Too bad we didn't have enough time to go round every one(which is probably a good thing anyway) cos I had to rush baack to work at 5.

Oh yeah also, last night Ben came back!!
All of us went to the airport to pick him up. It's good to see him, he's like the one who I have quite the most fun poking fun at and also being poked back with the same understanding. Some other ppl take my insults too seriously, or maybe I take theirs too seriously sometimes too hhaha.
Unfortunately, he doesn't look any fatter and so I can't tease him about that! :(
But he's sick now, and suffering from some jet lag :(
Gotta kick him back up to life again!

Just a couple hours ago we watched ratatouille together. And it's still ever so CUTE!! I love that show! The animation, the colours and all~
Now he's moved on to good luck chuck. It's pretty funny too, I like :)
Jessica alba!

Tha's all for now, let's enjoy the rest of the holidays!

2009-04-17T22:17:00.003+08:00

Omg I almost couldn't get into this blog cos I forgot my username! ><

I am so addicted suddenly to Forever by chris brown. Cant stop listening to it =P
And for some reason, now whenever I hear it I remember the limo ride back from the ball to chingings place. Hahaha prob cos it was midnight and we're sitting in an uberawesome limo "moving at the speed of light into eternity" loll.
Awesome song =)

Wednesday I met up with some friends from subway for lunch at northbridge. It's our first outing together, mainly I guess cos two of us are quitting. Satoko's leaving for japan, and I'm gonna quit by the end of the holidays to free up some time.
Mixed feelings about quitting actually, it means I'll have NO MORE cookies and subs! =(

Anyway, we went into this dimsum place which looked so formal and upthere you know. I was like sheeshhhhh what maybe it's gna be 10bucks for 2 dumplings or sth? Hahah but nahh it was actually pretty good and reasonable.
We also went over to get icey ice for dessert!
It's been such a while since I had both dimsum and icey ice.
It was yarmiieee =D
We ordered 3 jumbos among the 6 of us- Fruits Basket, Mango and Pink Lady ~ Mmm mmmm.

Last night was working.
It was pretty good except that I was with this hell annoying guy again. He is so ^%#@>@& !
So pissed with him cos he's the type who is like george brown in a way, like unaware of the feelings of others around him. He wouldnt stop going on abt things until he's convinced you to agree, or at least say yes and nod, to his opinions. And it happens that most of his opinions crashes with many people,but still he keeps trying to impose his opinions on everyone that everyone's fed up with him.
Another bad thing abt working with him is that I gotta control how much subway I eat =(
Cos he's the brother-in-law of the boss so I better stick to just a 6inch and one cookie per shift blehhh.

Today I didn't do much at all.
Ben called from canada this morning!! Omg 8.30am in the morning this boy, I couldn't help swearing to myself as I crawled out of bed to answer the phone lol. He's one lucky nut, thoroughly enjoying himself over in new york and canada. They saw snow in new york omg!
And I bet he's gonna be so fat when he comes back hahaha then I can laugh at him and poke his fat. He's coming back nxt wed, sooooon! :DD
I miss this horrible little brother, it's quite lonely without his endless random chatters.

Tomorrow gotta wake up early!! Hafta leave at 8am for church.
After lunch will be going over to clarissa's house for a gossipgirl and pigout sleepover!
Will be a good weekend :)

2009-04-14T15:56:00.002+08:00

It is tuesday already pfft

Went on msn last night, first time in ages. And it was still so lag as everrr. And stupid caleb was showing off his weird bunny emoticons -.- Lol jokes caleb
Hmm still don't like msn much, it really drains so much time away with chats about the most random stuff.

Am pretty bored
But like whenever it's midnight I still dont wanna sleep even if I dont feel like doing anything too. It's quite strange but whatever, i dunno what im ranting on about lol cos im quite bored now too!
Gonna go to work soon, but in the meantime just ranting on here lalaaaaaaa.

I started on physics today but it seems like I'm not making mucha progress. I just finished 4.5 shit. All these catching up to do, there's no time for revision and whatnot.
study sucks ><

Heyheyyy!
Back to post again :)
It's THE TERM ONE BREAKK NOW!
Gahhhh feeling supa fantastic, all I've been doing the past 3days is facebook, tv, church, and subway.
Probably gonna start on some study sometime this week T.T

Sorry this blog has indeed been missing out on alot
Mainly school stuff tho haha so prob not too interesting to hear about me being all emo.

Well, hale ball was last last tue?? Still have no idea why matt asked me wth, but anyway it was a good night. Maybe I'll say it's not as good as our own ball cos all you guys weren't there and so it definitely wasn't as fun :(
But still, it felt nice having a partner hehehhe
Happy I got best of both worlds outta the two balls =D

Some photoooos, enjoy!

Outside his house

The whole groupie is finally gathered. See, it's like waiting from day(previous pic) to darkk nightime for them man lol.

At Kings Park

This time with the nightview of Perth city!

Living statues at the entrance of the ball

Aww matt looking good

on the dancefloor.

Octopuses hanging off the ceilings. Their props for AQUA were so cool :D

Btw, it's so good that this month of april has 4 public holidays! I'm gonna try work on all of those days and get double pay omg! :D:D:D

HAhaha

2009-03-22T18:30:00.003+08:00

BALL PHOTOS! =)
Btw, they're all ripped off people's facebook photos. I didn't really take any pictures on the day thanks to my crappy camera.
But yeah it's all good thanks to fb!

Just about to leave for the ball from Chinging's place. Where's kaiying!

Kaiying and I with skilled shot off the mirrored ceiling in the limo.

At King's Park. photophotophoto with chinging

The group of us!

And here's all who's in our limo. The us six in a lovely shot: Blue sky, the city and river view. Gosh I'm simply amazed at the background lol

There! Our 8m long white limo!

Finally arriving at the convention centre, we have ppl waiting to 'greet' us when we step outta the car.
Haha scared the shit out of me

Statue beings!

Faye and I see eye to eye with dress colour eyy :)

Then in the ballroom...

LOTS of dinner tables.

Disco ball, lights, dancefloor =D Hurray

Cant get enough of the music,

lets dance dance dance the night away

And sighhh at the end of the night. All of us so sad the ball is all over, tired, thirsty and sore feet. But luckily, we have the spacious 10 seater limo to the 5 of us

and the luxurious guest room in chinging's place for the night!

It was a pretty good night. Tho I must say it is seriously overrated.

Cant wait for our dinner dance at the end of year :)

But for now, I got some issues with my studying timetable. Procrastinating seems to get in the way and it's really annoying!

Might quit my job after the holidays or something. Hmmm

OKK cya

2009-03-13T22:09:00.002+08:00

MY GOD IT'S THE SCHOOL BALL TMR WOOOO!

Now I'm actually feeling so excited. Leading up to this ball was alot of headaches. Like finding a dress, the accessories, organising the limousine, hair and makeup appointments, the change of venue of the ball etc. They were quite frustrating, but I'm glad all that preparation for the ball is all over and THE BALL IS TMR! Time flies all the time. Haha I went on facebook just now and there were at least 10-15 ppl with the status update "so excited abt sch ball" in the past 6 hours! Me included :D

I literally spent just about my whole night painting my nails lol. Not really, but it was abt 2 hours!! I didn't like removing my blue polish, stains so much yeewww. But gosh it's so satisfying now that I've finished painting my nails. Yeah prob no one will notice them at the ball, but it feels good for myself :):):) You know why I took so friggin long to paint them?? Cos there was removing the old polish, filing, base coat, polish, glitter, then top coat. LOL I'm mad. I never put so many layers on before hahahah "that's girls" I guess.

Ahhh and I didn't get ANY homework done at all tonight. I was hoping to. Cos the whole of tmr would be gone, then sleepover at chinging's til sunday. The whole weekend will be gone so quick noooo!

But ammm so excited hahahaha.
OKay see the schedule tmr:
2.30pm Hair and makeup (my first time in these super ex western salons!)
4pm Getting ready at chinging's
5pm Pick up by limo. We booked a 10 seater white Holden Caprice, plenty of space for us!
6pm+ Arrive at the ball after touring in kings park and stuff.
7pm BALL BALL BALL!
12am Ball ends:( But pick up by limo back to chinging's for slpover!! :)

WOOOO :DD

2009-02-26T19:01:00.002+08:00

Today is a shit day
I heard myself swear too much.

However, yst was a nice nice day. Especially cos I enjoyed the ballroom dance classes.
It was getting really dizzying when the girls had to do all these slow endless turns for the "merangay?" but I liked that new spinning in and out with the progressive jive dance :D:D
Just wondering how many times I will stack it at the ball with heels on lol.

Yst I had to work and my bro and I braved the rain and storms walking to work. Which is one of the reasons I dislike rainy days. Wet and gross I get. I had my hot pink umbrella which still got me wet anyway. Hmmm *shake fist at rain.
Weather's turning chilly yeah but hopefully there'll be a few more fine sunny saturdays for the beach.

Bleh, I'm gonna go study nowwww because yr 12s aren't meant to have a life.

2009-02-19T16:06:00.003+08:00

Heyhey!

Gosh I do apologise for always sounding so vulgar when I'm feeling emo or mad. It's just a more expressive way to vent anger and frustration I guess. Haha but as you guys all know, I'm actually very ladylike and gentle(lol ahemmm) and won't even kill a fly:) So all that swearing is purely non-verbal, if you get what I mean yeh.

Thanks guys for being here on my blog, with encouragement when I'm down and being such great friends that you are!
Especially kaiying, it's kinda weird to go up to you in school and thank you for these stuff so I'll just say it here haha :-)You've been a reallllly good friend kaiying, thank you so soooo much! I'm kind of the type who doesn't say every thought out loud, but when I bottle too much I get crazy and end up pouring it out on this blog. You're always here on this blog encouraging me and showing me a different way of looking at things, just being a really really good friend to me. Thank youuuu kaiying, I love you so much! :):)
So I hope if you ever have any problems with anything, I wanna be the same good friend(if not better) to you as you are to me. God this thing sounds sooo mushy lol but bear with me. Okay? I can use some of my fobness to help you maybe if you wanna learn full singlish lol. just an example haha.
Just wanna say, I love all you guys so much :D

I picked up a few things for yr 12 from the Breakfast CLub's talks this morning:
1. WORK HARD-This is like the key thing. Nothing comes free! I always think "what separates me from the others?" and put in that extra effort.

2. KEEP A BALANCE- life isn't all about study this year. don't wanna walk out of the last exam of TEE and be like, wow it's all over! Now.... there's nothing else to do at all. We need to still be ourselves, do the things we like. And friendships are very important. (I'm considering if I should work on piano grade 7 this year hmm..)

3. BE EFFECTIVE- time management is really really important. Also, do effective study! Not half hearted studies where you're distracted all around.

4. GET OVER BAD TIMES-failing a test or not doing as well as you normally would happens with most ppl. And you just have to get over it, learn from the mistakes and work harder on the next test! No point mourning over it forever lol.

5. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES- haha Quan said that apparently if you top a subject, you get abt $50. If you top alot of sujects gosh you'd be looking at getting a couple hundred bucks! And if you're Dux(top of the year group) you get $1000! Wowie lol Quan gotta be super rich right now! Also, scholarships everywhere blaahhblah.

So yeah, awesome. We'd all pull through this year, create some unforgettable memories, have a real rewarding time supporting each other and having fun as well, and come out of it at the end with smiles on every single face :)
GOGOGO :D

2009-02-13T16:08:00.003+08:00

I am so not in the mood for anything right now.

Today is so draining.
And it's not just the study and tests going on.
So many people won't stop giving me shit for things ey.
Like if you're upset okay I don't mind being stamped upon so you'd feel a little better, but if you can't stop going on about it then fuck, I'm outta here.
There's always a limit so DON'T FCKING CROSS IT.

Uhhhhhh!@#@&@&^
IM SO MAD
mad at ppl,
and definitely mad at myself.
it's like a freaking two way relationship.
When I notice bad points abt ppl, when I hate someone at certain times, I always hate myself SO much for hating that person. I can't escape it, I hate myself for hating because I really am trying to be positive and I really wanna love people. But omg shitttttt it's so hard at times :'(

god.
i hate this world and i cant wait to get out.

2009-02-09T22:06:00.002+08:00

Right now, I'm waiting for my dad to come home with the sushi someone made. 11pm already! Hehh dad should never have told me, then I would've gone to sleep instead of blogging while waiting for my sushi right now lol.

Today's start of week 2. I had a rather bad end to the day, feeling all hot and moody. I came home and piano my way out of it tho:)
I did so much study today, maybe abt 4hrs? Crap, it feels like forever tonight and my eyes are pretty wasted by now.
But in between I took a break to watch an hour of "Your my destiny"! Dramas <3

I think I had a pretty average weekend. On sat I cleaned the house up, went to the city to shop for my ball shoes(still haven't got my clutch), and studied at night.
Didn't work this sat, which suddenly felt rather weird cos of the extra time I had.
On sun, the whole morning since 7.30am to the afternoon abt 3pm we went to church and the lunches with churchies.
At night we went to a family friend's house for a bbq and teppenyaki! I had a great time there, we played Wii and chatted all night. Talking to the adults and uni students, once again I get a wider perspective on what options I have for university, and it's really so confusing as to what I wanna do. Just wanna put it alll in God's hands.

Today I also received mail about ball details! Omg the ticket to the ball is $130!!! x__x
@$%@^ uhhh this event is sooooooo damn costly!
Anyhooo, I better get some sleep my eyes are gonna pop out soon .

2009-02-06T19:32:00.000+08:00

YEAR 12 HAS BEGUN.

Okay skipping back to days ago, I have so much to say but I've forgottened what lol. Zzzz

Yeah I was pretty surprised to feel happy when I reached home here in perth. The house felt quite weird tho, I probably got used to singapore way too quickly haha. It's like realllly really hot that night when I arrived and the next day, and I was all "where's the fans?!!!!" and "this stupid evaporative cooling is so NOT cooling!". Also also, when I stepped into my room I was like, Ooo carpet.... :D:D:D And then... MY BED!!!!! YAY.

Next up, was the toilet. Omg the toilet makes me so much happier to be home. Lol I must sound crazy but it's really true. Everything about our toilet is tons better :)
So good to be home.

We spent the next day upon arrival unpacking our bags, laundry, chores etc etc. Took us the whole day! If you counted that we woke up at 12pm :P

Anyway, back to school! Back to the routine.
Tmr is thu, it's still the first week of school but it feels rather insane. I've got quite a fair bit of hw, but luckily I'm able to finish them and get on the comp to upload my 100++ photos and watch a few eps of "Your My destiny/Fated to love you" the past few nights :D
Tmr I gotta work...5-10.30pm
No choice right, job is essential when you're in debt :S

So far most of my teachers are pretty good. Let's list!
English-Ms Boyett
Calculus- Mrs Sanders
Applic Maths-Ms Hoy
Chemisty-Mr Smithies
Physics-Mr Massang
Study Period-Me :P

Just still not too sure about Mr Massang. Sigh, still wishing I got Mr Coghlan instead!!

I've inherited a HUGE HUGE stack of Yr 12 books from some friends and it's seriously scary. There's like no way I can go through all of them, and it pretty much tells me that I better dig in and study my arse off this year. Books and books and more books.. goshhh what a life this year's gonna be.
Still, balance is key and I'm making sure to go on with piano, work, driving lessons(I'm so lag atm!) and church. Keep myself sane :)

The Yr 12s had our first ballroom dancing class today! Didn't look forward to it, but it turned out quite fun actually! Except that it was like 200-300 ppl in the gym and I can't help but sweat. I like it otherwise, won't get a chance to learn this stuff besides school. And I love watching Gemma and her partner(the teachers) dance, it's so like "So you think you can Dance" you know. Lol.

I tried calling up a couple of limo companies today and looks like they are quite pricey but omg I cant wait to go in one it's soooo cool. I'm so glad it's like the culture here to have limos for school balls!!
I need to go shopping for my shoes and clutch, still havent found those unfortunately..
And anyone wanna come to the beach with me? I've been missing out while I was in singapore. Still wanna be a lil tanner for the ball :D

That's all, but I can see our effing internet is down like AGAIN, so I need to save this long post and blog another day rarrrrhh.
Probably won't be blogging much from now on, gotta study I guess..

BYE :)

2009-01-30T21:50:00.002+08:00

I'm flying back to Perth tmr!!
Rarrrr most dominant of all thoughts is that I dont want my holiday to end just yet. It's never enough! But then again, the thought of returning to my own bed and having my own computer and all that familiarity is kinda warmming to the heart lol.
Also can't wait to get away from all these singlish.
You guys won't believe how easily my singlish picked up and my proper english fell right through the sky. Heyhey quite a few ppl praised me for my ahemmm ëxcellent" chinese LOL.

Chinese new year has been pretty normal. As usual, it was super confusing being around so many relatives that you only see once a year. Lol my cousin actually tried the idea of putting on name tags.
Received lots of red packets. And the money can cover up some of my expenses here :D
Ate toooooo many goodies. Way too many.
I've started off with a sore throat last week or two weeks ago, then now it's turned into a cough and flu. Mehhh it's so worth the goodies which I'll never get in perth :):) Bear with the cough!! Yeah

Wed night went to East coast park for dinner with yingzhi and chengqian. What a bad start to it lol. Eastcoast is freaking huge! Chengqian and I met up at macs and yingzhi was already at the foodplace. What both of us didn't realise is that it takes like a good 45mins brisk walk from macs to the foodplace! And so poor yingzhi has to wait 45mins for us shucks, poor us also have to walk like mad, eeeww and the sweat isn't helping with anything. Hahaa crazyyy eh.
But we had an alright time. Quite random really.

Yesterday I went to my grandma;s place for lunch. Last one before we fly off. I must say I Love my grandma very much:) She's so awesome, so nice so strong so cheery. And I wish she could get away and come visit us in perth.
Anyway, I also collected my ball dress yst. It was finally done. Yay!

At night my cousins suddenly wanted an outing before we leave, so we all went to marina square for a quick dinner and bowling after! And crap, I failed in ordering my food in chinese last night. I wanted claypot chicken, but I misread the chinese signboard and ordered some claypot chicken sausage isntead! Uhhh uhh I guess I didn't know what I was reading aloud to the cashier -.-" hahaha
Bowling was very fun however. All my cousins turned up, except for one who sprained his neck. Daoxun was such a pro. He totally owned us noobies lol. Hey yooo but in the second round I got two strikes in a row man! WAH my best achievement LOL!

Okay I gtg now.
Be seeing all you guys back in school SOOON.
<3

2009-01-25T01:12:00.002+08:00

Oww hey time really flies!!!!
I'm going back to perth in a week's time, mannnnn. I still ain't ready for yr 12 yet lol.

OH you know last night I had a sort of nightmare. Hell scary I swear. And it felt so real, I was super super relieved when I woke up goshhhh. And guess what it was about.. My wondrously random dream was filled with thousands of magpies conspiring against me! Arghhh!
For the weirdest reasons, thousands of magpies started marching up in formation(just like soldiers) around my house and I recall running everywhere and trying to shut all the windows. Damn birds gonna eat me up you know. I even had an exam tht day, but I skipped school for 2 days and wouldn't step outta the house cos those freaking magpies(thousands rmb!!)were waiting to chew my head off uhhh. Then I kept thinking what should I do, I can't stay in the house forever like I was planning to. Luckily, I think around that tiime, I woke up.

Stupid dream, I have no idea why I suddenly dreamt of magpies when I don't even see any here in singapore. Maybe random stuff floating unconsciously in my head haha.

Hmm.. On thu I stayed home to "babysit" my cousins, fetch them to and from school for cca, piano lessons blablabla. And I cooked dinner too :) Spaghetti.
I kinda sorted out my luggage roughly that day, and realised I really really am gonna run out of space! Like crap, we have tons of things. Mum passed on to dad, then dad passed on to us. Now what? Sheeesh. Luckily, my dad's friend offered to bring back 5kg of stuff for us. Appreciate that soo much.

On fri I decided to go take a look at the malls nearer to my house here in yew tee. So far, I've been running all over, especially to the east side of singapore and the city area to meet ppl and shop, but actually haven't spent time at the malls so near to us. I guess cos everyone I know since young lives in the east, hometown!
Okayyy soo yeah I went to Causeway Point and Lot 1, I don't think I bought much. Oh now I rmb! I bought lots of accessories! There were earrings 3 for $5 and lots of others. And I found a nice purple belt too. However, I got pretty bored with shopping alone so I went home early, like ard 4.30pm :)
Then had dinner out and stuff with family.

As for today... I went to Bugis to meet with friends from church in perth!- clarissa, lydia and jamaica. Jamaica was so late again, woke up late..again. blehh. I almost lost my composure when talking to her today geee. Like I don't mind she wants to leave early, I mean who cares. Why keep pressing me endlessly in her rude tone for the exact directions as to where we are going and how freaking long it will take man. Farrr out.
Anyway don't let her ruin my pleasant outing today. I like hanging with clarissa and lydia :) All of us went to take two rounds of photo stickers, which I really wish I could scan and post up hahaha they're pretty awesome! We also went to Haji Lane after, take photos at the cool place. Too bad alot of shops were closed.

We parted abt 3.30pm and I went to Centrepoint to try on my altered ball dress and to collect the other dress. Those two shops were so nice cos I told them I needed it before I fly back to aust, but chinese new year is this weekend so alot of tailors not working, sooo they quickly did my dresses before chinese new year! So fast, they did it in like less than a week!My ball dress needs further alteration and can be collected next week! :D

Then after all that I went over to my aunty's house(dad's side) for a reunion dinner! Celebrate chinese new year. Chinese new year this monday, on the 26th.
Steamboat mwaahaha.
And tang-yuans :)

Lol I think I fell sick and still having a sore throat and cough now cos I overate chinese new year goodies. Ba kwa, pineapple tarts, prawn rolls, sugar cookies etc! How to resist lol!

Anyway, I need to go find my bed soon. My eyes were so bloodshot when I woke up the past few mornings.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR IN ADV!

Last night after blogging I was feeling rather sick lol.
I guess it's cos the computer room is really windy, I actually had to put on a jumper(in spore too! what the, eh/). I was shivering, throat was aching, then my eyes were so strained and head kinda spinning. It's very weird.. Hahh
So I decided to just watch 1ep of Hot Shot before I jumped quickly into bed.
And I had 10hrs of sleep YAY :D:D

But because I was replenishing my lack of sleep, I was sooooo late to meeting Maeve, Nurul, Joelin and Siti today!! Hhehhh so sorry.
Haven't met Nurul and Siti since pri sch, so that's like 4 yrs already! Goshhies.
We went to Mad Jack for lunch, which serves western food. Quite nice lohhh.

Today was super hot, plus we did all the wrong things in this weather haha.
After lunch we actually went to climb so many flight of stairs up towards Fort Canning Park. Eeek I sweated alot. LOL unfortunately when we arrived it wasn't interesting as expected cos everywhere was under construction.
Nurul was so funny cos she wanted to bring us to many places to take photos, but after arriving at each place they turned out wrong and unsuitable for photos LOL.
We were making fun of her and her suggested fountains which ended up not spraying water at all.
Well, we also went to the National Museum of singapore. Just happened to pass by so we dropped in. Only went into some weird gallery in there, it wasn't very arty at all, but it was free! :) hahaha.

ok dinner time. aunty cooking.
bye

2009-01-20T23:23:00.002+08:00

After the high, always comes the low.
I have some issues in my head and I have a need to pour them out somehow through this blog. Don't mind me, afterall this is my space to write anything I want. I think I have sooo many things to write about, but I always skip them out and bore you guys with description of places and things. I'm a bad blogger lol, but mehhh whatever.

So emo now. UHH.
OKay issues:

1. Ball gown
The super good news is, that I FINALLY found my ball gown today in the city with Keziah. It's a HUGE relief, since I have been searching fruitlessly for the past one month.
Bad news is, I bought TWO gowns.
I don't want it that way, definitely. But I guess after reflecting tonight, I concluded I was impulsive with the first dress I bought. It's nice and stuff, though not perfectly what I was looking for. But I was happy to buy it cos it still looked promising.
After purchase, I went with Keziah to the boutique next door and I found a gown very much more closer to my liking than the one I bought. It really looked way more elegant and more suitable than the first one I bought. I knew this dress was it. So I bought it as well.

So okay, I am such a super good spender living on credit. A total of 700 for the two gowns. I am feeling soo guilty right now. Just now I was talking to my dad on the phone and I did get the lecture abt it, but I didn't know how to express my regret and apologies to him. I have to work hard and pay back all that I spent in singapore. It amounts to a huge sum and I am so upset with my own spending.

One of my goals, seriously, is to earn lotsa $$$ in the future. Money is not everything, but it does mean something.

2. Aunty
She started off fine.
But now she's on my back all the time, and she would poke her nose into my business so much I'll get so annoyed. Especially with finding a ball gown, she has been trying to use her sense of fashion to encourage me to go to her type of boutiques to buy her type of dresses. Yack yack yack, she even thinks she's being so nice as to INSIST going shopping with me so she can help me pick clothes. Puke. She really seems to be thinking of my ball dress more than me, randomly coming up to me and texting me about more boutiques she thought of and where I could go to shop. Blehhh I do appreciate her concern to a certain extent, but ppl overdo things sometimes.

Also recently, she's become really talkative. Yesterday's long blog was stopped midway because I had to listen to her talk abt stuff I dun wanna know, and answer her questions that was just off her mind. It's like, hey tmr I gotta wake up at 9am, now it's already 2am, can't you see I'm on the computer typing up a thousand words and don't really have much time? She talked to me for a whole hour. RARHHHHHHHH. Same with tonight, just now she tried talking but I sorta made it snappy.
So annoyingggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!

3. Cousins
They are very annoying. Especially Rongxuan, the boy.
Joyee, the girl, is just ok. She's sweet and cute as any other kids, but she also asks endless questions like many other kids. Questions questions all day long! And I don't really like her fake cute accent. You can so tell, I can't believe a little girl like her puts on an extra high pitch and cute talk to act innocent and ask for things.

Rongxuan is just pissing me off alot. He's not like other boys. He's the type who is VERY loud, hyperactive, can't stop crapping, 24/7 acting knowledgeble, 24/7 saying things he don't mean and promising things he can't do. Some of it sounds very normal, but you can't imagine how much you have to put up with when you're living with them and trying to listen to what crap they have to say.

And it's so tiring trying to be a good cousin to them. So tiring to keep up the good example. To teach them by being an example yourself you know. No swearing, no quarelling, nono anything bad for kids to learn. And it's even harder trying to keep up the enthusiasm to play with them and talk patiently with them. Especially when they're hot on your nerves.
They are very ill-mannered in my opinion.
Never heard any thank yous, sorrys, please, etc manners before.
Partly my uncle and aunt's fault. They don't tell their kids off, and their kids even boss them around sometimes. Complaining rather than being grateful to their parents.

Ahhhh it's just kids and me.
I can't stand it.

4. Future plans
All of them are hot on coming over to Perth in June for a MONTH and self invited themselves to BUNK INTO OUR HOUSE.
Greatttttt, 8 people in that tiny house of ours.
It's sorta understood we're returning them the favour of living with them in singapore, but I didn't really think I could live with them and lose certain freedom in my own house. A whole month toooo. *groannn*
With TEE to prepare for, I won't expect myself to be a great host playing with my cousins all day and talking to my aunt about boring stuff.

5.Jamaica
She is like my friend, yet like my enemy.
Love-hate relatioinship going on for sure.
Nowadays building on the hate unconsciously.
I'm not a person to judge her, but still I really am dying to spill everything out. OK shall censor details.
She's definitely selfish, bossy, self-centred, long-winded, lonely to th extent I've become her diary, annoying and such a know-it-all.
I musn't hate, but i can't help feeling it sometimes.

6. Weight
Putting on weight for sure
fat fat fat
there's no going down for me?

7. Myself
To have so much hate for things, I do hate myself alot.
Probably can conclude I'm an introvert and pessimist.
It's ok to be truthful, whatever. I'm learning to put up with myself.
Last year 2008 I've been constantly conscious of my thoughts, trying to pick up areas which I really wanna improve in.
This whole post might sound like I'm such a shit person, but that's the truth and I must learn to let go. I bottle things up too much, it leads to breakdowns.

I have this thing where I am finding the way towards perfection and idealness. Maybe that's why I pick up numerous negative aspects of people. I think I am in a way trying to learn from them, that I don't want people to think negatively of me as well because of those bad things I picked up from others. I keep wanting to change myself, you know to inject some positiveness in myself, to be nicer, more generous, understanding, outing, patient, humble, loving etcccc. Somewhere deep down I can't stop thinking about how inferior I am, and how long a way I have to go. For example, though atm I really don't like kids much at all, I am thinking of how I can be the perfect mother in the future. How scared I am to lead my kids the wrong way, to teach them the wrong things, or to not show enough love and care to them. It's so hard :'(

I have also picked up that among so many things, relationships between people is the most complicated and stressing thing on earth. Whether in workplace, school, family, couples etc, there's always conflict because no one is perfect.
People-people is always tough.

And how I wish I know how to apply all the positive theories into my life instead of letting them boggle my head up all the time.
My heart is just that hard,
and my head just that helpless.

:(

2009-01-20T00:40:00.002+08:00

Hey!
It seems there ain't much time left of the holidays in singapore, haven't got the chance to blog much cos I'm trying to do lotsa stuff lol. At least less blogging means more outing :)
Now, where to start..?

Fri- Last day of dental attachment. Had dinner at Mos Burger which was just so-so. What's the hype abt it?

Sat- I slept in til 11am that morning, just to make up for the lack of sleep during the week of attachment. And it felt uber refreshing, like always hehe. Uncle and aunt brought us to umm Causeway Point(I think) for Dimsum at Crystal Jade restaurant! Then we shopped a bit here and there, and before I knew it time flew and it was like 4pm when I reached home. We planned to make pineapple tarts together that afternoon, but I thought it would've started at 1pm instead of 4pm. I had to miss out on making them cos I already planned to meet Jiankai at 5pm. So rushrushrush I rmb, but I was still dead punctual :D
Jiankai brought me to Haji Lane in Bugis, my first time there, never heard of the place, and I love it! It's this long stretch of small lane with "vintage" buildings on the side. There were lots of random, funky shops and boutiques, arabian cafes, tons of shishas, graffiti walls etc. It's hell different from the rest of singapore, which I thought was so unique and lovely! :)
After having dinner and dessert and taking lotsa photos at Haji Lane, we cabbed to Somerset to watch a local gig. Jiankai used to organise some bands to perform there, so he wanted to show me some of them. We went there so late, like I think it was at 9pm so we missed out half of it cos we were busy shopping away before in Bugis lol. And the songs were alright to me, some quite nice but some quite strange. hahaha I noticed that many singaporeans looked pretty weird when they dance and rock out. Hrmm hummm. Anyway, it was definitely a good night :) Thx to Haji Lane lol.

Sun- East Coast Park!! The very first cousin outing(apart from meeting annually every CNY) from my dad's side. They're all older than us, so it was Daoxun, Fei Jun, Yan Ting, Me, Ben. We went cycling and rollerblading for abt 2hrs!! Just so happen, tht day was real hot! Normally, singapore's sky is fully clouded but tht day I could see the blue in the sky. Therefore, I got a little burnt on my back. Fortunately, while we bladed and cycled, it was really nice and windy. Very crowded at the park, but the place is huge. We passed by the new and big lagoon which is specially designed for machined water skiing. It's quite cool! They stand on the board, and hold on to the rod which is pulled by a cable high above. Plus there's lots of ramps to go do stunts with!
Anyway, after all the cycling, my butt did hurt. Haven't rode much ever since the magpie attack! We went to the coffeebean just to chill afterwards and I enjoyed chatting with them all. We never really had this kinda bonding time together, so it was especially nice today.

But we did get too carried away with chatting, and I had to quickly rush over to orchard when we finished at abt 4.15pm or sth. Supposed to meet Chengqian and his exchange buddy from China for the movie Red Cliff 2! I was so late =.= They were both very nice abt it, phew. We went to watch Red Cliff 2 at Lido in Shaw House. The cinema was freaking huge! Grarhhh so big man, the stairs that led all the way up. Btw, the movie was very good! I likee it, all the war strategies and action and charming actors. It's worth watching!
When the movie ended, I think the sky was dark so orchard rd was very nice. Filled with people and lights from all directions, we just walked around and took lotsa photos like tourists. Hahh the only real local is Chengqian. Then it was funny how I had some communication problems with Derryk cos he speaks Chinese so fast, and it's like China chinese zzz. He also speaks his english so fast I can't catch the words lol. Then chengqian was standing there laughing at us and showing off his bilingual skills hahaha poooo.

We had dinner at 9pm or later in fact. We took away Subway to the esplanade rooftop to eat while looking at the city skyline. I must say the sandwiches I make beat the one I ate today, definitely one cos the chicken wasn't fully cooked. Blehhhhh. Okay lah.
Quite a tiring but really enjoyable and well-filled day :)
Haha I reached home at 11pm or sth and I still watched tv til 3am in the morning. Uhh me no self control, stupid.

Today- Awoke at 9am to go out with Jamaica. Supposed to meet at 11am but she woke up at 10.45am and she lives like 45mins away from our meeting place. Hymph nvm. We collected our identification card together, and went off to simei. I collected my new pair of glasses in simei, bought bits of random nice stuff, and another lot of stationary from popular. So I have completed all stationary shopping finallY! We had lunch at Burger King(the equiv of Hungry Jacks in perth), I ordered a Mushroom Swiss Burger and it was soo nice! Yummm yum.

Okay, make this description of today all snappy cos we went to many places. It was so funny cos both of us were aching in all sorts of places from today. Neck, back, shoulder, thighs, feet. Hahaha. Seriously, I've walked so much in singapore already. My legs constantly feel almost overused.
Anywayyy, we went from simei to suntec city. Thought there'll be many shops but turned out not quite the case. It was highly limited I reckon. More housing and electronics all mixed in together. So we went off to orchard to shop. But wrong choice of place once again cos everything's so expensive there. We didn't even step into takashimaya cos I told her that almost every shop in there was branded and she was like, Ok skip it. Lol. Went into wisma, tangs, lucky plaza and dunno where else. We did buy stuff here and there tho, so it was still considered unwasted a trip.
After giving up on shopping in this rich area of the city, we decided to check out Plaza singapura just a couple train stations away. It turned out to be quite a good place to shop actually! We caught some sales and bought bought away.
So basicallly, both of us returned home with so many shopping bags full of stuff that wasn't quite on our list of "important things to buy from singapore". Haha that ALWAYS happens grr! Until now, I still can't find a ball gown. And so without it I can't find matching shoes and clutch and accessories. Wth, I'm so last-minute..

Okay yeah, so now I'm warming up to singapore cos I discover many new cool places and it's nice meeting up with lots of people. Unlike the first 2 weeks here where it was my nightmare and homesickness. I guess I was overwhelmed by the lack of freedom, the adjustments to many things, the tight schedule of meeting relatives and family friends day and night, my stuffed up face and hair, the wrong places mum brought me to shop at etc etc.
Now it's cool :) As I find my own way around, spending more than ten bucks on transport every week, I'm having alot more fun!

Tmr...
Meeting with Keziah!
We're going to orchard. LOl again! For the third day in a row. Still hoping to find a ball gown there that's kinda why.
But looking forward more to going to Chinatown after. I haven't been there this year yet, can't wait to see what it's like.
OK I better catch some sleep. I didn't watch Hot Shot tonight so I can blog and facebook and stuff. Hot Shot is very nice! Jerry Yen, Show Luo and Wu Zun. All the hotties make the show rock. It's centred around basketball, but I think I'm centering around Jerry Yen lol! He's still as hot as ever though he's older already. Dimples when he smiles aww.
okok sleeeeeeeep.

2009-01-13T20:42:00.003+08:00

Oh maa shiiit today I woke up at 6.30am indeed. The sky was still black and that's very rare for me really. So the travelling time from my place to the dental clinic was like 1.5hrs! Soooo freaking long.
But they were all worth it, cos it was pretty interesting be able to be there and get a feel of what the dentists are doing the whole day. There was Dr Cheng(the Mr nice guy who offered me this opportunity), Dr Quah(a young lady), 3 nurses and 1 receptionist.
Today was really busy, endless appointments. Apparently I'm really lucky with today cos Dr Cheng did lots of different teeth things. He normally does braces and try not to do anything else, but today he started with a teeth implant, then lots of dentures, lots of braces adjustment, teeth bleaching, x-rays, retainer making, crowning, and bridges.
So it was really cool to have seen so many different types of cases dentists encounter.
Unfortunately I couldn't help to do anything so I was like a spectator, just standing and observing everything.
The dentists sat the whole day, dying to stand up.
The nurses (and me) stood the whole day, dying to sit down.
lol. 9am-5pm for me! But it was like til 8,9 pm for everyone else.

Tmr going to Dr Cheng's other dental branch in Tanjong Pagar. Phew at least it is closer than today's UBI clinic in Eunos!

Okayy here's some photos of the past week.
Ripped them off Sandra and Yingzhi.

6/1 '04 gathering last tue:

This is just outside dinner place at MOF. Group shot yarrh!

With sandra, our dear organiser <3

Shaina, Joelin and Maureen. Pretty ladies.

Pamela darling.

Yimei and Maeve!

Chatting on the esplanade rooftop after dinner. Huh lol or more like gossiping,girls?

Guys like gossiping too :P

These are from Coffee Club in Siglap, met with Yingzhi and Chengqian:

Here's the muddy mud cake I mentioned! Looks sooo chocolatey eh

Yingzhi and Chengqian

yingzhi and I

Chengqian and I

And oh hooo us three! <3

2009-01-12T23:33:00.004+08:00

Heyy

Sorry didn't have any time to post, and I'm sacrificing some sleep now cos there's things that happened and I wanna share them :)
OK.

Back to..last thu.
I met up with Chengqian and Yingzhi(pri sch friends!)at Coffee Club in siglap. My first time there, it had a pretty nice ambience. Cushiony sofas and bright orange everywhere! Yingzhi and Chengqian were still as chatty as ever, and it was so fun talking to them. I think when we first met it started just a little bit awkward, but haha we sure warmed up pretty fast and soon there wasn't a moment of silence. Just lots of chatting :D And I believe we all had a good time really.
Hmm as for the food, it was quite pricey but nice. I had an ice cream lychee drink and I almost choked on the first sip cos it tasted surprisingly alcoholic. Lol. Then had the "really huge chicken sandwich" and muddy mud cake for dessert! Yumm.
Haha we chatted from 12pm to 5pm.. After yingzhi left to go for swimming, chengqian and I went to the hawker centre to get more food. He ate 2 bowls of noodles,crap! And it was like cheaper than half the things we ate at coffee club lol lol.
Hawker food is reallllly cheap :):)

On fri, we were just running errands I think. Then we went to Joshua's house again for a sleepover. We swam in their condo pool, and lol I was tired after a couple of laps. My stupid toes also cramped when I did freestyle, wtf? I need more exercise I swear.
I watched Good luck chuck that night, it was quite funny! Watch it ppl!
Also watched hairspray, that was so-so for me.

Sat. (crap,it's so difficult to recall what happened)
We went to Fengshan Market in Bedok for lunch. It's our childhood foodplace, we used to go there every sat to grocery shop and have lunch when we were little kids. All the good ol times :) I had fried carrot cake, my fave grass jelly drink, lor mai gai, and mee pok. SOOO full by the end of it. And they're so nice, so cheap too. Like 60cents for a cup of drink. And $2.50 for a bowl of noodles. Wahhhhhhhh XD
Had dinner at a family friend's house. We played mahjong(this is one thing I've learnt in singapore this trip back hahaha) and halo on xbox(which was surprisingly fun only cos we made it fun. otherwise it's so gay a game). And I was attempting to learn the rubik's cube from Kimberly AGAIN but failed AGAIN. GRRR. My IQ's freaking low lol. How pathetic.

Sun.
WE WENT TO SENTOSA!!~
With my uncle's family and our family.
I must say, it was fun cos the last time I been there I was a reallly little kid. I don't rmb anything from that place, so this time it was like total touristing around lol.
When we entered the place, I saw the merlion and it was shockingly HUGE!! So much bigger than I expected or possibly recalled, it's like 20 storeys high or sth. Damn huge shucks.

Okay, we parked our car in sentosa, took the cable car away from sentosa and took the monorail back just for experience. Cable car was quite cool. I was just imagining a cable car in aust, above the clear blue ocean. It would be so much more breathtaking than the small singapore sea filled with huge ships and cruises, and on the land full of buildings and a ton of construction and cranes. Two years from now, sentosa will have so many more things-including UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!

Yep,anyway. Beacuse of our cousins and the ticket packages, we ended up taking the luge and skyride 3 times each! Took up so much time, but it was the most fun. The luge is like a go kart, but it's much slimmer, lower to the ground and smaller. And there's no pedals, you just pull back the handlebar to brake, push forward to accelerate. Cool eh. And the whole 650m journey is "powered" by gravity. The skyride is exactly like a chairlift.

Then we took the Tiger SKy Tower. IT's a 50 storey high tower, takes you to the top in a airconed container to view stuff. We were so hoping for a free fall, but noooo it was slow and controlled for viewing scenery purposes sigh lol.
We missed the dolphin show and underwater world which was a reallllll pity cos that was like the main highlight! Saddd sad, but we'll definitely go next time.
As the day turned to night, we went to watch the performance of "Songs of the Sea". It was like an oopen air performance. We sat at a platform and the beach was in front of us. The sea had a row of huts which were filled with equipment for lights and water and fireworks. IT was really cool, but sorry I'm too brain dead to describe anything now. I'll post a video sometime. Basically there was some storyline with ppl acting on the beach and at the same time visual effects were created in midair projected by the huts on the sea. And additionally, real hot fire were exploded from the huts and beach, as well as laser lights, other lights and fireworks at the end. It was pretty cool!

Didn't get to look at the sentosa beach cos it was drizzling towards the end of the day. So many more places to explore the next time we come! :D

OKay, as for today.
Dad brought me to go get my I.C.(identification card) done in the morning together with Jamaica(perth's church friend). Then he had to run alot of errands cos he's flying back to perth tmr. Jamaica and I went shopping at Bugis Junction, Bugis Street, Century SQuare and Tampines Mall! Boy, and she spent FOREVER in the DVD/CD shops. Like an hour in one shop and we went to quite a couple of them too! She spent hundreds on dramas and music cds, tut. I bought two dramas today-Hot shot and Fated to Love You.

Also, I went to go get my eyesight checked and glasses made in Simei today. GOod news!
My left eye went down from 150 to 125 degrees! And my right eye went down from 25 to 0 degrees! OMG lalas~ That's super fantastic.

We're starting to worry about luggage load man. I think we're all gonna exceed the given baggage weight, there's just so much stuff from no where! What the.

Also,I'm so super lucky but so nervous for tmr! Tmr shall be the start of my one week dental attachment. Kinda like "apprenticeship". Through some lucky contacts, I managed to get to follow around and observe what dentists do for this whole week. I'm really considering dentistry for my uni studies, but I guess this attachment will give me a better perspective of things and help me decide more clearly! Looking forward to it!

Unfortunately,since dad is flying back to perth at 6am, I shall have to catch the train and bus there everyday! It's like from the west to east of spore omg.. Start work at 8.45am, so I gotta leave the house at 7.15am and wake up by 6.30am shucks!!! And it's now 12.30pm, blehhh 6 hours of sleep.Kill me.

ANw, better slp now. BYE :)

2009-01-07T12:53:00.003+08:00

6/1 dinner last night showed some pretty good attendance!

Apparently, it's the biggest gathering since pri sch lol, sweet.

There was Yimei, Maureen, Seeting, Serene, Joelin, Shaina, Me, Maeve, Yuanzhi, Cheng Qian, Sandra, Pamela, Yuheng, Elton, Panbin and Freddy. 16 of us!

And when I get the chance to rip some photos off seeting and sandra, my blog won't be quite as wordy anymore :)

We had dinner at MOF(jap rest. in marina square) and then we went up to the esplanade rooftop after. It was nice there, you can see the city buildings, hotel buildings, lots of lights everywhere on the skyline. Plus, it's like one of the rare places in singapore which is windy.

Well I really enjoyed seeing everyone again, it has been ages. People changed but still it's nice to have come together and have a chat for a bit.

Oh yeashh.

When I was trying to get to cityhall to meet them yst, I got off at the wrong train station to change train lines, lol and I was walking everywhere thinking where the heck is the other train line. Grrr, nvm eventually I found my way there haha.

On the way home, it was round 11.30pm when I got off the train. But wow it's so different to perth. I walked home from the station and there were still ppl walking around, and there were lights everywhere. Seems much safer than perth where it's dead quiet and real dark in the streets. Awesome like that.

Anyway, in spore I've been spotting so many Mercedes E Class Kompressors! It's an old model, but I love it!

See, it's like class with a touch of cuteness. The round eyes are soo cute :D

2009-01-06T14:12:00.002+08:00

Hey guys!
Guess what, I owe my dad six hundred bucks already lol :(
But I still haven't got my ball dress yet. Seriously, I dunno where all that money went. Umm so far I haven't bought much clothes and stuff, but I bought three pairs of shoes and still going for more haha.

Yesterday was supposed to be the class outing to sentosa island but it just kinda got cancelled on the day itself, some weird thing like ppl can't make it. So I decided to go down to Vivo City for some exploring and shopping lol! And boy, that place is HUGE! I walked so much, my thighs and back are still aching today. And I only went through one round inside the whole mall, it took me 5 hours. But maybe still I missed out certain parts of the mall cos it's so big.
I had ben n jerry's ice cream there too, wish I can put up the pics I took so you guys can drool mwahaha.

Last weekend, my brother and I stayed over 2 nights at our family friend's house on the other side of singapore. Mum went back to switzerland and we'll only see her in september sigh. We sent her off and went to sleepover. But instead, lol we played and talked all through til 6am! Then we woke up at 12pm lol.

I went to orchard with Jiankai on sat evening, it's like my first time in a loooong loong time walking there. The city area is really crowded, and we went to those malls like Paragon and Ngee Ann City(Takashimaya) but I didn't buy anything(besides food-ice cream from Venezia!). But every second I was there, I was imagining being some super rich foreigner, shopping in orchard would be fantastic! All the big brands were there: prada, louis vuitton, calvin klein, guess, chanel blahhhh blahh blahh. I didn't step into any of them, but just walking there is like some air of richness flowing around hahaa.

After that, went to Newton Hawkers for dinner! So many tourists there, and the tourists sitting next to us ordered soooo much food. Yucks they ate all the local stingray, cockels, seafood madness. I had some prawn noodle soup, and satay(which took a freaking hour to come omg..). Sugarcane juice and soursop juice! Rarhrhhh then embarrassingly enough, halfway through the dinner I had to dash to the toilet cos my stomach was acting up, prob cos of so much food.

Yesterday, went bowling at this SICC club. But too bad we didn't get to swim. I shall try and go swimming sometime, I'm putting on so much weight shittt. So disgusting.
And I think we live near a wave pool haha, they create artificial waves here. Walking distance too!

This morning my dad, bro and I went down to Malaysia, JOhor bahru.
Ok sssssshhhh
We bought quite a number of dvds and cds, $2.50 each!
And so I bought some mayday cds, bcos I never heard of them before yet and they're supposed to be good.
And gossipgirl-season 1 and 2!! WOOTS
Plus some other movies, which I'm wondering if I'll ever have the time to finish watching lol.

I wanna get the original of the taiwan drama HOT SHOT but it's still so ex! Basketball! Wu Zun, Jerry Yen, Show Luo! Looks hot as :)
I managed to get Butterfly Lovers(movie with wu zun in it) this morning
And I bought MISS NO GOOD (original one), but haven't watched any yet rarrrh!

Tonight having dinner with the 6/1 ppl. Finallllly. It's really been 4yrs since I've seen alot of them.

Anyway, I'm also getting kinda sick of all the hawker food here. I haven't had much homecooked food lol cos it's so easy and cheap to eat out instead! From where I'm staying at my uncle's place, there's a hawker centre just 2 mins walk from downstairs. So damn near.. There's like a market, train station and groccery stores just 5 mins walk from the house.
Singapore's really so very convenient.

Heyhey
Today was pretty fun! :)

Hrmm it started off with going to grandparent's house to take a whole family portrait in the morning and it was so tough to get my grandpa to smile rather than frown into the camera. My grandma is completely opposite tho, she's so pretty and young looking when she smiles <3

We went to eastpoint green in simei after and I had my childhood peanut butter waffles!! YUMM but I felt a little sick lol cos I ate a whole waffle after having lunch. We went to Popular, the stationary bookstore, and bought a hundred dollars worth of stationary! But there's more to buy, this is only the start hahaha.

Damn I wish I can post pictures, then I can show my everyday surroundings in more colourful versions than words :)

We also went to century square(my first time since coming back to spore), it feels just like being back to the favorite childhood hang out lol. Mum almost made me buy this ball dress for 200 bucks. Somehow I don't really like the top bit and the colour, but it is "A shape" and so it's very slimming or sth. Mehh I shall go hunt for the perfect ball dress hahaha.

Dinner was with lots of childhood family friends at Waraku(jap restaurant) in East Coast Park. Food is pretty good. The adults had a table, and us "kids" had another table. We were really having fun and crazy with laughter at The Coffee Bean after dinner. Talking about hmmmhmmm private stuff LOL.

Tmr's the last day with mum, she's flying off to switzerland tmr night and we'll only see her in september :(
Tmr gonna have dinner with maeve, joelin and weiting! At tampines mall omg hahhaa childhood hang out once again! Send mum off, and then sleepover at Josh's house with my brother and Kim! (all of us close family friends since young, and we were at waraku and coffee bean together going nuts just now hahaha)

And I'm getting more and more used to this place, especially living at my uncle's house at a completely unfamiliar part of singapore :D
NITE

2008-12-31T22:45:00.003+08:00

HEY LAST POST FOR YEAR 2008
BRING ON 2009!!

This year's been really awesome.

Year 11 has been a kick in the butt for many of us, where we start to put our gear on and study harder! Though the workload increased, it has taken away alot of boredom!

I have grown alot closer to many ppl which has been such a bonus for me, I just wanna say thank you to everyone of you, and that I love you guys all so much :)

I am very grateful that I have such a wonderful family, that even though we've gone through so much tough times, what with all the fights, we're still together and doing so many things as a family.

Achieved 2 piano grades this year woohoooo~

I have put on weight consistently this year rarrhhh lol.

and what else, hahaha can't think anymore.
whatever, overall 2008 has been a challenging but rewarding year for me.

okay, anyway the trip to malacca was quite good!
Five families went and we had a fun time eating so damn much and shopping quite alot too. Actually, alot of the time shopping was unfruitful like singapore but by some stroke of luck I did buy a couple pieces of clothing.
We saw this boutique and I tried on a few ball gowns and they were all very nice, but all not perfect, missing sth here and there. But this white chiffon gown was soooo nice and it was only 80 sing dollars! Omg so cheap!! I didn't get it cos it looked kinda bridal, but I wished I did now cos I didn't find any other gowns in malacca. Nvm, guess I can still look ard singapore.

Oh yeah everything in malacca was so cheap!! Haha we had like good parking lots the whole day for only $1 sing. A meal for 3 families for ony $50 sing. Everything's really cheap and nice hahhaa.

OK damn I have to get off the comp in ONE MINUTE.
Yeah now the world's looking better cos my face has fully recovered hahaha.
Thanks guys :)
Keep me updated on how u guys are going, I miss everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO~

2008-12-28T01:52:00.002+08:00

Heya
I believe things are indeed getting a little better in spore. I guess there's no point in me ruining my own holiday,just stay far from the mirror. We've been going to alot of places and eating like 5 meals a day! I took quite a bit of photos but unfortunately can't put any up until i reutn to perth.

Today was a real breather that lightened me up. I ignored my familyfriends gathering and went to hang with maeve. We went to marina square, citylink, the central in clarke quay and bugis junction(which was INSANELY crowded it's scary). Yeah we did some shopping around but I still can't really find any nice clothes. We both bought shoes tho! Pretty nice ones, I got a pair of boots:)

My dinner cost $3.20 today hahahhaa

Then went to my dad's side after dinner for a gathering. Good to see all my cousins, we took so many "big family portraits" just now.

Anyway, we're going down to malacca from 29-31 dec. Eat more eat more!:)

Ohyeah, yst i was dying to blog cos I have no where to spill my sorrows lol.
My face was sooooooooo bad yst I cried. I applied some new products to my face(from the facial store) and yst my face starting showing signs of allergy because never in my life have I got red rashes and white dots popping up all over. It itched and it felt swollen and just really really rank. Luckily, I went back to my usual facial products and it subsided today, but my face is still a real mess. For my brother, the new facial products are really improving his pimple conditions but for me it turned out to be a disastrous allergic reaction!
Scared the shit outta me.

Tmr...I think we're going to some relative's farm(pretty weird for spore!), IMM shops and dinner with a friend. Some stupid schedule.. At least when mum's gone back to switzerland on 3rd jan, we'll have all the time in the world to do whatever we like. But for now, it's best to spend all our time with her. ONly 2 weeks with mum, betgter treasure it!

Nite, my bro and I being sneaky on the comp now 2am :P

2008-12-23T23:31:00.002+08:00

Oh mannnnnnnnnn
I've got a floood of complaints I'm so irritated.
Hafta make things real simple and short cos every few mins my cousins will pop up behind me and start looking over my shoulder and all.

I'm staying at my uncles\' house. Really am grateful for that cos we don't have to rent.
But it means I'm living on the complete other side of singapore, so far from my childhood places of familiarity. I baby talk just abt 24/7 to my two little cousins, they stick to my brother and I like glue. And I try to act like a good role model, it's quite tiring. My aunty is very nice, but she seems to have her idea for me of what to buy and where to go for shopping.

Yest we drove from places to places, visitng both side of relatives and grandparents. I'm so happy to see them all, it's really warm and comforting. Unfortunately I was truly saddened when my grandpa didn't recognise me, I felt like a stranger . I love my grandpa. But he's old and he can't really walk and talk as much, and he didn't recognise me =(
My grandma is still as lovely and talkative as ever. I love my grandma. She's so lively and still look so warm and young=)

Today was badddddddddddd.
I SPENT A F*CKING NINE HOURS IN THE HAIR SALON.
Waiting for my mum's hair to be done, then my brothers facial treatment. Then it was my turn to do my facial treatment(shit there was SOOO much crap to be squeezed outta my face, all hidden beneath the skin). After that my mum and the hairdresser had a "brilliant" idea. Perm my hair slightly...

UHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO UPSET I LOOK LIKE A FREAK NOW.
OMG I HATE IT HERE SO FAR
WHERE'S THE FREEDOM, WHERE'S THE SHOPPING, WHERE'S MY FRIENDS?
SUDDENLY OVERWHELMED BY FAMILIES IS DRIVING ME NUTS.

2008-12-20T21:12:00.002+08:00

Ohhhhhh singapore tmr night!!!
It's so close, these 4 weeks of holidays passed way too quick!
Right now, the house's just filled with the sound of packing and stressing and packing. I just wrapped up so many xmas pressies for our cousins before going to work today, it was most annoying. The sticky tape was crap, the texta wouldn't work. Brrahhh.

But at least at work, I tried to make the most of it cos it was my last shift before going to spore. Hehe and so I had alot of cookies... And 6inch of fillet with bacon, and later 6inch meatball with bacon. Jealous hahahha?

Anyway, back to packing. Now to start packing my luggage of clothes and stuff.
SINGAPORE:)

2008-12-19T14:58:00.002+08:00

Money is evil
and I'm scared it'll break us apart

2008-12-16T22:00:00.002+08:00

I just had to put up the, by far, coolest photo stickers in perth taken today:)

I can't wait to go to those ones in spore, gotta drive me mad cos they'll be way better omg! XD

We watched twilight today, but I didn't really enjoy it much. It's just so-so, if not for the book, I thought this movie's quite crap.

But still, it was a fun day today. Lol we went down to ikea after the movie cos we just wanted to slack around somewhere. My first time to ikea in innaloo though I realised just today that it's only a 10 mins walk from my house! Oh geeee.

Maybe when no one wanna cook, we can walk down to ikea for some 1 dollar hot dogs LOl.,

My dad and bro can have that, I'll have the meatballs bwahaha.

Anyway, yesterday I went down to garden city for some shopping. Independantly by public transport. I feel it's quite nice that I've learnt to rely less on dad for my spending and my transport and all that. It feels really nice everytime I catch the bus/train successfully to somewhere new and then I discover new routes and places. It's like some weird sense of satisfaction lol. Like, wow I never knew there's such a place! kind of thing :D

Also, transperth's journey planner is my bestfriend and partner in crime for getting me around to new places, haha it really is pretty useful!

Okay back to garden city, I tried to remember the word budget and I guessed yst already was much better than that day in harbour town. But umm I still feel like my bank account's depleting rather than increasing. Rarhhhh. But never mind abt that! The goood thing is the stuff I bought! They're so nice :):) I bought a bag, wallet, shoe, and tops! They're all very pretty woots~ Shopping is sooo damn addictive hahaaha. I need billions of money to spend zzzz

off to watch they kiss again on my tee-vee

2008-12-13T22:22:00.002+08:00

Tht straight four days of going out during day and working at night is finally over. Weee nxt week resumes but for the moment, a 3 day break :)
And I gotten rid of the white! Went down to the beach yst and today and it was lovely, real lovely weather. It's hot, but there's wind so it's really great. And damn I did miss the sand and the ocean, esp the ocean. It can't be compared with the pools, it's soooooo nice I love it!

On thu I went down to freo with faye and cherie which was pretty fun. Lol guess what. We had fish and chips hahahha at Cicerellos! YUMMMMMM. And after lunch we went to cold rock for the bestest ice cream! (So lucky we remembered there's a cold rock in freo!It's so good!) I had... Cookies and cream mashed with cookie dough I think. Sth like that, the cookie dough was really nice :D:D

Anw, picture of brighton beach today! The sand's pretty crappy, waves were strong, but still awesome hehe.

Oh and then on the way home, I hopped onto this MADLY DECORATED BUS. It's SO insane.

Agree? There's like all sorts of christmas decorations on every handlebar and window pane!

Then this was from last week, when I went shopping with khoo and ginh! Found the coolest hats :D

Damn, I haven't got pictures from freo. We took some pretty weird and funny shots hehee.

Anw, yeah ONE WEEK TO SINGAPORE!!!

Leaving on sun night~~~ WOOOHOO

2008-12-10T11:23:00.002+08:00

Heya
I haven't got much to blog about actually, just been working and doing random stuff at home. On the weekend, I did a springcleaning in my room! :O Hehehe I emptied more than half yr 11 files and then I went to clear out my wardrobe. Now 1/3 of it's empty, and I've got a huge pile of hangers waiting for new clothes to come in hahahaa

Unfortunately, I overspent last week. 50 bucks more than what I earned :( LOSS, NO SAVINGS UHH! So I hope to spend to a min now-surely tht'll be okay, there's only these one and a half weeks to be extra thrifty! Just stay away from the shops, and live at the beach!
Hey the weather this weekend's gonna be sooo nice!
WEATHER FORECAST:
Fri- max 26
Sat-max 29
Sun-max 31
Mon-max 29
Tue-max 27

Goshhh I wanna go to the beach like everyday! Seriously, it's like my second last weekend, or rather the more convenient weekend before flying to singapore nxt sun night(22/12!!) I'm quite excited about it, tho I dun really know what to expect! I only imagine the huge amount of food that I'll be going nuts over, and then I can picture the shops with shiny floors, yellow lights at night and really cool toilets. Not to forget the xmas decorations at orchard road, gosh those must be SO pretty!! Ahhh and I'm trying get ppl to help me organise the 6/1 class gathering, which I'm looking forward to! I think a number of ppl will turn up, hope most can make it.

My church friend has lent me like 10 cds or more and I'm spending so much time getting them on my itunes and stuff. But they're like all korean! o.O?? Super junior, DBSK, Big Bang, Wonder Girls, SHINee, 2am, 2pm, Smash. question mark?? Hahaha but they're not bad, I haven't listened to half of them yet tho lol.

Then last night I started watching 'they kiss again'. Just the first ep til 2am zzz(tht's why i always wake up just in time for lunch). I thought it was rather stupid, ariel lin looks so childish and sounds so fat when she talks! Just a matter of fact. And tht main guy like never smiles. Nvm, my friend said it's meant to be all lovey and sweet, so I'll just continue with it~

Twilight's finally coming out tmr! Yep, must watch!

Onigiri~

2008-12-05T15:23:00.002+08:00

I made onigiri yesterday! first attempt and it took me ages lol
But they were quite nice :D

2008-12-03T22:11:00.002+08:00

Gosh I overslept today AGAIN!...
I planned to do some shopping at harbour town and wanted to catch a bus at 10.14am, but how unfortunately I only woke up bcos my dad called me on my mobile at 10.17am. GRRR missed the bus =(

But apart from the late start,today was great! I bought lots from harbour town, and omg I finally found bathers! They are pretty nice and reasonably priced in comparison :D harbour town opened a new CITY BEACH outlet and it's pretty big! When I saw it I was like, OMG YES I HAVE TO FIND BATHERS IN THERE! And I did, also I bought too much stuff from there other than bathers hehehs. It's big and it's got lots of stuff I took ages to shop through everything, and they have a whole load of bathers too =) What a saviour. The other surf outlet in harbour town was a disappointment but city beach perked me right up hahaha.

I'm so happy with all that I got from shopping, but sigh this week I've spent round abt 300 bucks already, it's throwing my saving plan for singapore off the right track ahhhhh.

Gossip girl's showing right now :D But hahaha looks like we're far ahead of it right now, thx to chinging's trusty collection :)) I decided not to rewatch it mehhh I better go and sleep. Phew luckily tmr's pretty free so no fixed time for waking up!

2008-12-02T22:37:00.003+08:00

Lol I am soooo embarrassed today..
I set my alarm to ring at 9.30am this morning, but it seems I didn't even hear it ringing for half an hour on snooze. So when I first opened my eyes, it was bcos I heard my mobile ringing real loud. I jumped outta bed to turn the volume of my phone down and saw that subway is calling me. I answered it and Donny(my boss) was like "Hey amanda? Are you...coming to work?"
HUH?
I looked at my stupid alarm clock and it read 12.11pm!! OH SHITTTTTT! CRAP CRAP CRAP. I am supposed to start work at 12pm today, but I overslept on a midday shift!! How did that work?!
Donny tried again : "Are you still..erm sleeping amanda?"
Ahhhh lol I apologised and started jumping around the house to get out asap. And hahaha I'm proud I woke up at 12.11pm and reached subway at 12.30pm :)

Huhh and they gave me so much shit for oversleeping lol. It's truely embarrassing, I can't believe myself cos I never had 12 full hours of sleep without opening my eyes a couple times before actually waking up. This time it seemed I had completely no idea that I slept and slept...
Zzzzz

Anw, shopping on monday was quite unfruitful. Oh yeah haha kaiying I need to put up those pictures soon :) We didn't find any bathers booo so I'm going down to harbour town tmr to scout for some again. Uhhh fingers crossed I really hope I can find some tmr!

2008-11-29T11:20:00.002+08:00

HEY HEY!!

OMG here's some gooood news:
AMANDA IS NOW OFFICIALLY GRADE 6 IN PIANO!! WOOTS~
LALALALALALAA I've come a looooooooooooooong way, but I'm glad I made it this far at least.
I got a grade B, which I think it's pretty good considering I wasn't as prepared as usual :D

Must really thank my piano teacher for pushing me through this.
I rmb saying my goal for this year was to get grade 5 & 6, tho I didn't really mean it. It was more of my parent's goal for me I guess. But still, Irene (piano techer) remembered my goal and helped me accomplished it inspite of myself! Yay she's awesome!

Anw, last night I went to youth because it's our second last gathering for this year and I feel too guilty for skipping almost every fri night. We had a cell dinner before FNL and it was really great jsut to catch up with everyone. I am so off the latest news I realised, I don't even know how's everyone going at all. Shouldn't be surprised, but I was kinda pissed at myself for drifting so far away. FNL was great, so good just to be back in the presence of God once again. I do miss this and I wish I hadn't been so distracted.

Blabbbb anw, I'm off to watch weixiao pasta now :) YES!
Then gotta work again this arvo-night. Workie work

2008-11-28T09:14:00.004+08:00

Hey hey my piano exam's over now! the end weeee~

I started off nicely with a smooth scale, but then a couple of them after that stuffed up. For a contrary motion scale I had 3 false starts omg shucks. But my pieces were alright, good speed and didn't really stumble over anything. Hmmm as for aural..the examiner didn't tell me if I'm right or wrong, but I literally guessed more than half of it! RARHHh aural always let me down, but laaaa it doesn't matter too much. Sightreading and general knowledge was so-so.

Well that was it,the exam was pretty fast compared to the last one I had.

However, the best thing about piano exams is the lunch that mum/dad promises at Delish! and omg I love Delish,they have absolutely the best sandwiches. I always end up getting the same one tho

My fav: Tux Mex Chix Toastie!!

Doesn't look too good here,but it's sooo good! It's got chicken, really nice avocado, super nice spiced cream cheese, mayo, and cheeeese! YUMMMMMMMm

My dad had a breakfast toastie, ham egg cheese tomatoes,but can't be compared to the chicken toastie!! :D

After the piano exam, I went down to the city to hang out with Maria and Ashley cos yesterday was the last day Maria's going to be in Perth. Lucky girl shooting straight to Japan once again!

Hey we saw chinging in Hi-mart too! She was doing all these last minute shopping with her sister before going off to malaysia and stuff. Hmm too bad with the cancelled sleepover :( It would have been so fun..

Anyway yest:

A part of the city that looks more traditional hehe.Ashley and Maria:)

Icey ice again! :D :D

This time we tried banana, mango and yoghurt(yoghurt isn't nice so dun have it ppl)

That aside, right now I'm so addicted to weixiao pasta! I actually find it really funny and addictive. ahh my love for dramas is revived~ hheheh

My love for sleeping in is revived yesterday too! I slept in til 12pm!! It's been ages since I could do that.

And! Yesterday I downloaded Bella's lullaby sheet music to play on the piano! That "River flows in you" song, it's very pretty and it's making melody on my piano yay!

Okay I'm gonna rush to work now,,make $$!!! CYA

2008-11-24T21:07:00.002+08:00

Yay I'm downloading a whole heap of music right now.
In need of some new ones I really do :)

And I'm back to reading eclipse, still only half way through it. But I'm getting addicted once again to this horribly good book. And twilight the movie is coming out in perth on 11th dec! I'm kinda excited abt watching it, it'll be pretty action packed I hope. Just wished edward was hotter..

Since last night,also starting to watch old dramas again! Now watching wei xiao pasta and that's pretty funny! Tho very silly, it's really relaxing to watch these no-brainers dramas :D

On sunday at church,I also found out sth very frustrating from a friend. Apparently,fahrenheit's coming to singapore on the 19th dec! AND HRYMPH I'll be missing them cos I'm back only on the 22nd!! Arrghghhh I can imagine taking photos with them and stuff, dammit. It'll be so cool if I could go.

Piano exam on wed zzzzzzzz.
I think I got 1/5 for aural at my piano lesson today rahhhhhhh! My ears are obviously screwed. But I better pass this piano exam,so not retaking it! Hahhh can't wait for it to be over cos then I can just play fun pieces and lalallalala. And after the exam, dad promised to take me to lunch at delish. Hehehe cos I forced him to. Nahh I bet he wants to eat it too,it's soooo good.
tux mex chix toastie is what I always get :) I should try sth else,but that seems like the best already!

2008-11-21T21:21:00.003+08:00

CHUCK ALL THE BOOKS OUT IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I AM SO HIGH THAT THERES NO MORE EXAMS(except for the piano.heh but let's not count that). AND ESP THRILLED THAT WE HAVE 4 WEEKS MORE HOLIDAYS THAN LOWER SCHOOLIES!!
AND AND ALSO,IT'S EXACTLY A MONTH(30 DAYS) TO SINGAPORE!!! OMG I CAN'T STOP SMILING THINKING ABT ALL THESE!

I am excited man. And just chuck all those worries from like 5 days ago right aside. Afterall, I think the exams weren't as bad as I thought of them.Especially for physics today, I am really underprepared. Yesterday I was doing some physcis questions from the textbook on movement, and I couldn't maange to solve most of them! I think I got 2/15 correct or sth! Shucks it was SOOOOO frustrating since the textbook didn't supply worked answers. So I was like stuff the txtbook,I'm going to Mr Coghlan's site for the practice paper.

So I was really glad to be able to understand the questions in the exam today.Hopefully I used the right formulas and I hope I won't get a 60% again.

It is confirmed that God has been with me through every single paper and I really am bursting to share this. Dad prayed for me and I prayed myself for every single paper that I sat. And I really can't have been this calm about every paper after monday if not for God. He gave me strength and determination to keep pressing on.

During the G&T exam yst, I clearly experienced God's hand on me. It was down to 10 mins and I finished the paper except for 2 questions. One of which was the one which you have to prove the strange trig identity. My final answer didn't equal the other side of the equation and I couldn't see how to do it another way. So in my heart I prayed to God and asked for His help.

And so amazingly,immediately after I finished my short prayer something clicked in my head. God instantly prompted me to have a look in the stats & formula book just in case there's some formula in there I could use. I opened it and sure enough, cos3A and sin3A in the book! OMg I was soooo relieved when I saw the two formulas. I would never have opened the book if not for God's prompting, cos I copied out the main formulas we learnt in class onto my notes for less referring to. So all praise to God that I did FINALLY solved that question. I was so happy and wanted to jump out of my seat when I solved it,but hmm self control is key :)
Thank you Lord<3 So real and so great!

Anyway,so back to the holidays!
I'm planning to work just about everyday,averaging 29 hours a week before I go back to singapore. SAVE SAVE SAVE,MASSIVE SAVING! You know,with that I can earn abt a thousand bucks within these 4 weeks! Omg.,..lol that's including tax and everything tho. I bet I'll be spending quite a bit of it during these 4 weeks damn. How much's left for spending in spore?!

And hey kaiying we need to go to the beach!! Even out the shorts tan =.=
These 4 weeks is all I have of the beach this summer sigh so short a period.If only if only spore had nice beaches too.

Okie enough ranting from me now, I shall go rant on facebook hahha byyeeee!

2008-11-17T18:20:00.002+08:00

I'm really low right now.
Maria I do try to stay positive as well,but sometimes you can't control your head. I don't wanna be so demoralised, so stressed, so pressured, so helpless, so screwed in the head,.. but I just can't help it.

And I know the problem's just me. Me me me. No one put me down, no one pressured me, no one said I can't make it. But I just self imposed everything, I'm such a idiot. I hate myself for thinking such thoughts to weigh my whole day/week down. Maybe I've such got too high an expectation and goal for myself,that when I know I'm going to fall short of it, I start panicking.
I don't know. Really,I dunno myself,never right from the start anyway. I think it's kinda sad to be like that. People ask me what career I wanna head into, but fck I dunno, quit asking! I've also been searching for my strengths in certain areas, perhaps just a high level of interest in any area? Fcuk there's none. I kinda wanna give up on my piano too.
No I don't mean it.I like playing the piano. It's just sometimes,the bad times when things aren't going too good,that my fingers just don't even have the strength to go on. I just had a piano lesson today, and my teacher reminded me that it's NINE days to the exam, and ohhhh great my pieces still sound like some chopped up shit. I confirm,there's no talent to piano. I will see to it that there's no more piano exams. Playing nice pieces to relax and boost my mood is all I need, I dun wanna [play those fcking scales, sing and clap to rhythms and notes, talk abt friggin music history, sightread some short pieces of crap..BAhhhhhhhh
As for sch exams, mehhh I don't think I can really handle my ideal hardcore study anymore. There is no way to cram everything in one day before the exam. I swear I'm gonna consistently study for TEE nxt year and be hell relaxed and calm during the exam weeks,or so I hope. That is ideal, not very realistic but I shall make an effort. Or you know,I don't even need to do well in TEE at all since I have no freaking idea what I wanna be when I graduate,or if I even wanna be anything after graduation.

See how I'm so fcked in the head.Everything I just said is so bull,I won't even think like this normally. I need to fall sick and hole myself up in bed eating ice cream and sleeping all day all night. Or go to the beach and bury myself in the cool cool sand and let the sun take away my iciness.

God I need you back in my life. There's nothing without you. I'm so lost and scared, so angry with myself for drifting away. How can it be so easy to sin and so hard to be righteous and obedient?! It's true I've put you on a shelf ignored when I was going through easy and good times, and only come back crying when I'm stuck in a valley. I know and I know that I've stopped relying on you,stopped drawing nearer to you,even stopped with my prayers. I'm so sorry and regretful. Even now that I'm sorry,it's hard to get back in line. But I do want to, and I will try to. I can see the difference in my life just in the first half and the second half of this year. With you Lord everything's quite a breeze, somehow you provide in every situation and unconsciously I managed everything well. But without you, when I put you aside to concentrate on things I thought needed more time, I start to fall. I see it so clearly that I've lost it all. Everything that I've build up in you,I crashed it in half the time. And I am deeply remorseful and upset with myself. If there's one thing I really want to do, it's to be able to love you and serve you with all of my heart.

Ahh the stuff that goes on in people's heads are pretty damn screwed eh.

Yr 11 D&D

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

I started my studying for the exams last night.Physics.So far it's easy going, guess I need to feel the exams heating up right next to me before I go full on with the revision. Witch is kinda bad and kinda good.

Procrastination does increase efficiency.

My piano exam is coming up on the 26th Nov! The 2nd week when my exams finish! There's so much to do.Boooooooo

Today at workkkk,it was really damn quiet. I went on facebook, kept eating cookies and then we played cards and laughed our arses off at random shit. Quite a fun night actually. I'm so sad that all the "seniors" will be quiting this yr end or start of nxt yr,cos they're already sick of subway, sighh they're all the fun subway has.

Anways, D&D on wed was pretty good. Tho it was right smacked in the middle of the school week with upcoming tests and all, it was a gd break to just take it easy and have some fun :) Plus we got to see Ashley's moves^^

So here's some pics taken on the night. Uhh I can just imagine how looonng it will take to get all the pics off everyone. blehhh

Gosh we look like ghosts.

2008-10-28T22:17:00.002+08:00

It's umm..3 weekends to the final exams? We better get studying eh guys.
Hmm, it's also one week to the yr 11 dinner dance! And I still HAVEN'T found a dress yet. It's fun trying on dresses and stuff, but absolutely frustrating to not be able to find THE one at the end of the day. Today I went to karrinyup but the dresses there weren't any good. I was overlooking the prices and concentrating on finding a dress I like,but nope. Found none =(

Ahh wells I hope to find one this weekend,otherwise.. i'll have to jump into my jeans!? NOOO

This is photos from dress shopping with kaiying on sat:

there's the eye-blinding bohemian dress! So soooooooooo shiny I got short sighted

LOls kaiying being forced to wear the second shiniest dress! It's very nice=D

Tree dress~

And a pretty nice dress from Live.
It's a pity I didn't take a shot of that really nice blue one kaiying!

And after that shopping in the morn/arvo on sat, I went to work. We had 7 party platters on order (mad. it cost those peeps a total of $350 for subway). So I decided to snap down our hard work :)

Subway madness! XD

That's a whole platter dedicated to BMT subs. YUM YUM YUM

And these are the 7 platters (49 footlongs). So much subway..
I love subway :)

ON sunday,after church I went for a trim of a haircut. But irene decided to give me a fringe:

The original plan: A side fringe

Or what I made of it, what's this called? Full front fringe?

I should go and get some beauty sleep now.

Oh yeah I did well in the recent G&T test! Quite unexpected,but I'm happy with it~

lalala ok nites! bye

2008-10-22T22:50:00.002+08:00

O.O MY HAPPY 200th POST!!!
Lol only 200 after so many years..Ahh well

I haven't really been up to much besides all the stuffff.
But yeah last week and this week's sudden wave of heat during spring time sure got to me. I like to think of it as the heat and flies that's been spoiling my mood everyday. I dunno what else,really. Esp last week, uhhh I was so negatively wired in my head. Felt sick of this, cbf doing that. Hate this,hate that. Ughhh ughhh uhghhh.

Also,kept questioning myself.
Self doubts.
like can't play the piano gd enough for shit.
that im such a bitch sometimes,i know.
that drifting relationship with God.
blah bleee blah blahh.
jealousy in some areas don't help either.
sigh..

in a state of loss? I can only not think too much.

ddobokki!!!

2008-10-12T23:59:00.002+08:00

Man I'm exhausted. If I'm not wrong,today's THE day where I completely stayed home ALL DAY. And I had to follow and tick off this list of "To Do" for today and tmr. Today I'm quite proud of myself cos I stuck to my "plan" =) I practised piano, did 3 loads of damn laundry, cleaned the house bahhh, cooked ddobokki for the first time!, and completed everything set for physics. Tmr's schedule is... ALOT ALOT of homework. G&T, INtro Calc and chinese crap.And chem too I think. Shucks!! Also tmr...grocery shopping,ironing and food prep. Grahhh hope I can finish it all tmr. It's crazy planning.

OKie.LOOK! HAHAH I made this today for dinner. There's like heaps left over yay~
Lighting's pretty bad doesn't look particularly gd,but nxt few are better photos!

Ddobokki!! I'm so happy I can make my fav food to eat now! :D

YUM YUM YUM I loveeeee ddobokki~~

Anyways.,. it's good having the house to myself. Dad and ben's down south somewhere,dunsborough or margaret river?I dunno,but it's some 2 night 3 day outing with two other families and I was like, nooooooooooo. Not going. Dad I'm not gonna waste 3 days down south doing nothing at the jetty so yeah,whoopee I got to stay at home!~

Yesterday.
It was quite mad, I was even more exhausted hahha. David asked us over to his church for another "food event" where they serve ddobokki.So I was like OKAY! Went with kez,carmen, caleb and jay.But before that, I went for a mini 2 hour shopping in the city. It's like the 3rd time this hol but it's only cos I never managed to get everything I wanted at one go.

So from 9.30am to 11am I was shopping. Then I met those guys and we went eat eat eat.Even went to icey ice and timezone for photo stickers afterwards. It was actually a pretty fun day bumming around the strangest of places. I can't believe we went all the way til 4pm plus. I thought it was gonna take the max two hrs,eat ddobokki and stuff won't be long? But nooo lol. We had lots to do indeed :)

Yeah but that's kinda how I got so late. I had to work at 5-10.30pm and I missed the bus from the station to my house so hell,I was walking back home with those shoes that KILL. Rush into the house,grab at things and back out half running to subway late already.

Haha I know I was so gonna fall asleep at subway from so much super walking in wrong shoes all day. I kept doing the thing with asking customers the wrong questions like as if I wasnt thinking when I asked. Lol when I needed to ask what salads they wanted for example,I went like a robot "any drink or cookies?" and then shit sorry,I meant all salads? Zzz

Hmm I know there's heaps more that happened I want to say everything but I think my eyes are gonna pop out soon so just the photos will do.

ICEY ICE!!!! We had SO much. LOOKS SO GOOD EH!! Crunchy nutty,oreo and green tea. Us girls had a large one each! OMG.

Whoops photo's in wrong order. Icey ice was last. Here's david with a "dodging camera pose" hahah!

Me and caleb in an attempt to do the david pose lol!

Carmen and Keziah sure are happily eating away~

Ahhh,the very colourfully octopuky pancakes!

And the colourful yummy sushi! Or kimbap should I say?

Lastly(tho it's meant to be firstly...zzz!) the ddobokki! Hey the one I cooked looks better eh eh? Mine has heaps of ingredients XD

Alright,I'll be off and away.
Happy ahem.,last day of holiday tmr...

2008-10-09T19:48:00.006+08:00

Gosh the end of the holidays is nearing. And school's creeping up real quick!

Today I slept in til 10am cos I slept round 1am last night. I worked today and I had to bake the cookies and bread, oh great lol I'm so baddd at it! Nvm,at least I didn't have to eat any of it,ppl working tonight can enjoy my underbaked cookies :)

Then I came home and practised the piano. Tmr's gonna be a lesson for the first time in 3 weeks cos my teacher was on hols. I'm kinda nervous abt it cos I really wanted to brush up my pieces and scales while she was away,but somewhere in between I got really distracted and started playing other pieces that's not on the exam list and neglecting my exam pieces! I borrowed some jay chou's scores from hui ching and I wanna download more more! But I'm currently resisting the urge to,cos I dun wanna further neglect my important pieces that neeeed practice! Lol

Last night's post was actually after eating so much kfc near midnight after having gone through a whole day of cookies at chinging's house.
My bro's just got his first job at kfc and yst he did a closing shift. So he brought home 3 large boxes of kfc. Yeah so near midnight dad,ben and I sat at the dining table happily stuffing our face with kfc. Grr., It was sooo yum! But nooo thank god we didn't finish all 3 boxes at all :) That would just cause our heart arteries to clot.

Anyway I put up more photos! I loveeeeeee photos cos they always bring a smile to faces when we go through them and recall the crazy fun memories :D :D :D

This one's of the sleepover I hosted for faye and cherie over the weekend. 2 nights and days of fun fun fun. We seemed to have done heaps in that time. Apart from all the cooking,baking,eating (grocerries came to 60 bucks just for that 2 nights shucks!) we went out to the city, went to hui ching's house(met her coincedentally) and watched quite a fair bit of movies. Anyways,it was such a good time hahha:)

Someone made the bed!

And this is clear example of movie addiction lol we just kept watching til 3am.

Dinner on the first night! Pizza anytime~

Homecooked pizzas! YUMMM meat lovers

Our chocolate cake!! With oreo bits on the sides see see??

Pretty pretty~

On the bus to the city! :D

JAWS KAITEN SUSHI

SUSHI SUSHI! If I weren't so busy eating,I would take a picture of all sushi lol.

On the way home from the city,we met hui ching and went to her place!

No fire fighting guys..

Oh yeah..Hahah crazy idea of jumping and jumping

Back at home.. Quiche delight!~ It's was so easy to make..and yummmy tooo!

Hahha pigging out is what we do! Fill the table with food!

Awww and that's the end of our sleepover.. It's goodbye now :(
Those 2 nights just flew past toooo quick,but it was great fun anyhow.

OKay.And here's photos of the cookie bake off at chinging's place yesterday!! It was a great day, and I sorta didn't have enough of it. How cool would it be having a sleepover at chinging's place huh?Hahah. Omg lol it was really so much more like gossip girl day eh!We baked 3 batches of cookies and 1 batch of brownies even tho there's 5 of us: Chinging,Kaiying,Carmen,Daisy and me. Ashley couldn't come :( Then we parked ourselves in front of the tv the rest of the time watching gossip girl! We watched 9 episodes lol and we went home only at 9.30pm even tho we thought we would go at 5pm. rarrhhh gossip girl~

Stupid picture won't rotate on my blog!
Anyway,..cookie dough!!!!!!

Chinging's batch of triple choc cookies!!

YUM YUM YUM. We did feel sick after eating so many cookies. Thought that would put me off choc for a while,but today I was back to subway cookies... UHHHH

And lastly,that's our umm fooking brownies? Not quite,the last time they looked better than this lol.

Haha so that's it :)
I really should get to starting my work,all I've done at all is that chem assignment. Sigh it's real tough sitting urself down at the table during the holidays. I just keep doing everything but what I'm supposed to do... Geeeeees. mehh think i'll just leave it all til sunday and monday. Procrastination results in high efficiency in the last hours :D

OKie,I shall be off to facebook to upload more photos again lol. This photo uploading's such an addiction and time waster.

lost control

2008-10-08T23:37:00.002+08:00

Amanda is feeling fat as.

I dunno what's going on.Just a year ago I was in full control of my diet and all of a sudden it seemed like I totally lost control. I've been trying and TRYING to exercise self control over what I eat but it just doesn't EVER seem to work anymore. WTF.

FARRR OUT

I just feel soooo screwed up. Like why is everything so hard? I don't even feel good abt myself anymore. I rmb the feeling of being able to show your thighs without worrying abt the fat on it,but now..?

And I can't help the fact that food just tastes endlessly heaven. When I see the food, my mouth goes..screw the body.

Mehh maybe all this is getting to me because it's been dragging on for almost a year now. The whole continuous upscale on my weight, and this holidays which I was hoping would be more exercise and less food. But it turned out to be an OVERLOAD of sugar and almost zero exercise.
I neeeeeeeeeeed to stop UHHHHHHHHHHHH!

fuck

update

2008-09-30T20:39:00.011+08:00

Hello~
I'm back to "liven up" my blog with a whole stack of photos:) Afterall, photos are better than words eh.

And I'm so very happy with this batch of uploads,cos for some strange reason the photos uploaded SOO quick! It used to take a good 3+ mins for 5 photos,but today it took like half a minute instead! So that "motivated" me to keep uploading lol.

Also,most of the photos below are from my iphone! They're pretty good quality :D
Oh yeah..today when I went shopping in the city, Clarissa and I kinda couldn't find our way to Taka and we used the GPS on my phone! It's the first time I tried it and it was pretty cool. I typed in "Time Zone" and it came up with a choice of a map showing where we are and the route to get there,or directions like turn left at king st and then right at wellington st or sth, and other choices too :)

So cool!

Before anything else of course,
it's Maria's birthday today!
SO.,.. HAPPY BITHDAY MARIA!!!!
I won't wish u a good day cos I know you'll have had a good one regardless lol. How was your crazy 10hr shopping in japan?!! Lucky girl =]

Okay.,.so now for the photos: I shall tell the story as I go hahha:D

This is what we made at subway a couple weeks back: A super thick and loaded subway pizza!!

Omg droools..See the cheese??! And the subway glove box in the background haha.

Okay then these are photos from today!I went to the city with Clarissa for shopping but we ended up spending so much time walking around northbridge and stuff. It was a good day I reckon,apart from the urgghh rain! Yup,both of us bought more stuff for others than ourselves lol. We went to get lots of toys,activity books,crayons etc for the "operation xmas child boxes" which are given to the 3rd world children. Then both of us managed to find a bday pressie for our friends too,yay!

We then had lunch at Takas and Icey Ice for....dessert I guess. Woohoo. Oh yes and I also bought a pair of sunnies from cotton on for TWO bucks! It was originally $13 and on 50% sale,but the salesgirl was too lazy to put in all the numbers,so she just gave it to me for $2!Lol she's cool :)

Dresses at myer :)

Sunnies from sportsgirl!

We didn't buy them tho lol. Wtf!I think it was 20-30 bucks?

Sportsgirl had some cool props at the entrance of their changerooms!

Changerooms with black and red!

It looked like a mini catwalk runway lol.

Here comes the icey ice!!! Peanut flavour with choc topping! <3 href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KK6AWiUhFPI/SOIntrB_6dI/AAAAAAAAAk8/g8EeFgPpAqI/s1600-h/IMG_0261.jpg">

Rushing after the food!!

Ashley gulps down the whole jug of fanta at one go ;)

:D

Lol...

Here,we end with a lovely group shot for the night:)

Yeah,all those photos!Sheesh.
I have yet to iron any clothes stacked up in the living room.I guess procrastination overcomes again. There is seriously so much more to do during the hols than during sch days. And freaking hols only last for 2 weeks!!? Sigh I shall really max it out!

Yst,for the first time at subway I did a double shift from 12-9pm,and it was INSANELY BUSY. Possible reasons: Sch hols, public hol, royal show, end of long weekend. Whatever the reason, I was so tired cos we were just working and working endlessly. At round abt 3pm we completely ran out of bread lol and had to wait an hour to bake new ones. At least that gave us a break from serving customers so that we can do food prep and stuff.
Tmr working 12-5pm :)
And I must practise hard for my piano. Piano Exam's gonna be in the same week as the sch's end of year exams.Sucks much,but I'm quite without a choice. OK AMANDA WORK HARD! :)

Shall stop here now,what a lloooooonnng post.
Makes up for that looong absence right :P

Iphone

2008-09-13T11:59:00.002+08:00

Hees Ben and I dumped that pamphlet job a couple weeks ago,and here's the immediate results: I slept in til 10.30am this morning! Felt pretty good (:

Anyways, on wed my ordered iphone came in!!! WOOOO~
I was quite like, sheesh thank god for a new phone at long last.
But the more I use it the more excited I get lols. I think it's really cool!
*dance of joy* hahaaha you know,considering I've always been using my parents' secondhand phones, this is the first one I bought with my own money and it's got sooooo many features on it! Whoopeedeee!

2 more weeks to the holidays:D
I can't wait.

1st go at driving!

2008-09-02T22:29:00.003+08:00

Today..... is the 1st day I drove!!
First thing dad got me to do was a little routine where I just had to brake,let go,brake,let go. That was some good exercise,cos the very first time I pushed the brakes the result was for me,unexpected. Emergency jam break!! Way too hard I pushed it!

But bcos I was so skillful, I managed to drive round the rectangular park 3-4 times,turning all these corners and not harming anyone(be it human,cars or birds). Haha though I'm not very alert and I was distracted by this lady in the park I forgot to look at the road and was swerving towards the curb lol.

No accidents man. It was much easier than I expected so far.I mean,just going straight.
Corners involve banging into cars on the other lane.

Unfrotunately,I HAVE TO wear my glasses when I'm driving cos I "failed" the stupid eyesight test at the licensing centre.Oh welll I shall get some nicer glasses in spore,it can be my driving accessory :)

Also also, I just finished reading Twilight today!!! I'm proud of myself even tho I took way longer than alot of ppl to read it. Haha it's so good,I enjoy the book slowly absorbing just abt every word lol. Romance,suspense,action~~~ Now,three more books to go..The series following twilight.So good these books!

Tmr is a chem test.Uhhh uhh uhh. Next week shall be worse but I'll see how it goes this weekend. Weekends are alot worse that weekdays.I end up not doing any hw/doing an insufficient amount of hw every weekend these days.

And it's already week 7 of sch!!OMG time flew this term. 3 weeks to the hols!! HURRAY!~

sweet sixteen!

2008-08-15T20:54:00.002+08:00

Hey!
I'm finally back to post after my loooong period of laziness.But haha it's only bcos of my bday yesterday:)

Well I wasn't particularly looking forward to it cos it's just gonna be a normal day with school and all. The only excitement of being sixteen was being able to drive!I really can't wait to get behind the wheel!

But this bday turned out pretty good actually,
thanks to my super awesome frens!! =D
They are a lovable weird buncho and I love them much much muchooo. I really do <3

MANY MANY MANY THANKS FOR ALL THE WISHES, PRESSIES, THOUGHTS AND TIME!
It really made my day~

Lol and my dear brother bought me dinner last night! It's unbelievable, I think it's the first time he bought us dinner.So I was very happy hahaha.

Dad got me a diva hair straightener! Right now,I'm still playing around with it, I'm gonna try make some curls and waves.It's pretty cool what you can do with it. I think it's such a good straightener! It heats up in 60s or less and it never burnt or tangled my hair.Plus it's also manufactured by the GHD company but branded as diva. Half the price of a ghd!woots~

OKie that's all for now,
will try to post sometime soon and not be lazy:)

sleeeep lackage

2008-07-28T23:25:00.002+08:00

ANyway I had a really good holiday I reckon.Very very satisfying and fun. Not a single day was wasted :D It was packed full with activities, tho I didn't have enough sleep throughout, it was really awesome. Awesome holiday passed way too quickly!

Yeah and our church's yr 11/12 dinner & dance last sat was really good fun tooo! It's my first "formal" and it was an awesome night. All the pretty chicks and smart guys, fantastic dinner, decorations, performances (singing, dancing, hilarious skits), funny awards presentations and dancing. It wasn't the least like "mehhh it was just socialising all night" but it was like "woohoo! the night was filled with fantastic programs and we all had so much fun!"

Unveiled camp Jul 08

2008-07-18T20:30:00.007+08:00

WOOhooo!Back from camp!

This past 3 days passed bizarrely fast for me, it seemed like we hardly had a long enough camp. Yeah it was great,this camp is called "Unveiled"- abt unveiling who God is and what His plans for us are. It was fun getting to know new people cos we get put into groups and dorms with ppl we don't really know. And it was well balanced! Worship, games, sessions, videos etc. We even had a one hour nap time in the afternoon called "siesta"? Weird but it was good time to muck around!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very pleasant. Rain and wind, rain and wind, and of cos cold cold cold! Grrr we didn't get to play our water bomb games thx to the rainy storm. But other games were still fun! Haha one of them was a auction game where 2 groups bid for stuff we dunno abt. And our group ended up winning like double the portion of starburst lollies, mars bars, twisties, burger rings, mentos and other what nots snacks! Yes! Good game woot!~

As for food,it was alright. They were catered and the portions were small!! Many times when I queue up for seconds they run out!Grrahhh. But definitely,the BEST meal of everyday was supper cos..they were homecooked food by some aunties! YAY! You see all of us, lol, eat less for dinner and a mountain full for supper!! Ahh supper was sooo good..

ANyway.,..

Hehe uploaded photos once again!~ So much fun:)

Campsite. Camp jumpers!

like the birds eye view? :D

Vernice is modelling my bed haha.

campers are very constipated cos we have little fruits & vegs

haha so cool a photo! THis is the dorm's corridor.

Vernice, Clarissa, Celestee! Yay

Everybody loves kungfu fighting~ (esp with ugg boots on lol)

Ready for the wet games Shan and Cherie!And the first aid kit which looks like fishing box.

I don't quite feel it yet. It's like as if my retarded brain keeps thinking mum'll be home soon like tmr or next week but blehhh she'll be home in a year's time. No visits except the meeting in spore end of this yr. Uhhhgg I can't imagine this. How empty.

But!We'll stay strong:) And I hope she does too there alone.

caleb's bday!

2008-07-13T21:14:00.004+08:00

Woohooo I uploaded some pictures taken on Caleb's bday:)
It was quite a fun day,but very tiring cos I got home at 10pm or sth. Yeah we went first to gloria jeans to grab some coffee(grr they didn't have any ice drinks!I so wanted the cookies and cream ice thingo!). Well had a caramelatte in the end,but that was very nice and sweet anyway.So it's good. Then we went to watch Hancock and that was pretty good too!Hahahha

By the time movie ended,it was quite dark so we headed off for shabu shabu.It was buffet!YAYNESS!! But we(or me?) were definitely depressed we couldn't eat as much as we should be cos we weren't very hungry. Ahahha I wanted to stay for 4 hours! Eat,take a break and digest,then eat again, take a break, eat...etc!

Hehehhe that would sure be a good strategy for buffet eating=D
Too bad we didn't execute that,we went off to timezone instead.Took photo stickers(yay!) and played quite a bit of games.Lol ashley does get aggressive in competitive games! We were all like -_- hahaha.

Okay enuf of my crapping,here's some photos!
Maria I have to get those off your camera too at sch!Swop:D

There we go!At gloria jeans coffee. Maria(with her lovely white coat!!), bday boy, ashley

oh eeek.my munted face.OK just look at the coffee guys!YEHHHH

~DINNERTIME!~
Woo hoo shabu shabu!At sinabro?
MMmm Mmmm..

AHa!MEAT MEAT MEAT. I love the dumplings:D

Vegies for a balanced meal indeedd. Fantastic shabu shabu for a cold night!
There were sushi and inari and all that too,they were so nice!Didnt take pics tho:(
Lol ashley...I think she must have eaten like 20 pcs of watermelon...
Caleb with his pressies:)

Group photo! Photographer's so bad,huh fancy cutting caleb's head off!! HAha

Ashley's stingray top haha
yes... scissors,rock,paper ><>

Yeah,so that was a pretty good thursday.

As for friday and yesterday,I was working at subway.ON friday I was doing a day shift-first one since 4 months or sth!- yeah and it was quite good actually! The busyness and lunch rush keeps time passing very quick and before you know it,poof it's time to go home!

Night shift on sat was as normal.Luckily not as busy as the other nights! Yeahh but Elvin,Dee and I kept eating that night. After having our each individual dinner and all,we had so many cookies (grahhh!they are so damn addictive I can't stand it!!AWHHH the double choc,white choc macademia, choc chip, and m&ms!!!SO GOOD).ANd at like 9.45pm we decided to all have a meatball double cheese sub each.Just meat, cheese and bread,and sauce,and it was very nice without any salads.

Hooh yeah and elvin still had a wrap with triple meat after that.Dee packed two wraps home and I was like,shit I'm not following you crazy guys!But..hmm I'll just pack a couple of cookies home!

Yeahhh okok next week tue-fri is youth camp!Gonna be good I hope,it's like so many days worth of working and slacking at home. Then sat is the youth dinner&dance. I'm practising currently on my heels and still not very smooth damn.It's like penguin walking with lotsa sound.

Mum's going off to switzerland this coming fri,time flies man.Tmr we're going out for lunch at westperth and having stirloin steak for dinner(it better be my mum cooking,kinda gonna be the last meal with her before she leaves and i go on camp!) Urhhh I miss her already,what to do without her here...SIgh sighh. How's she gonna cope there without anybody's help? Huhhhh...

1st formal wear shopping

2008-07-08T22:37:00.004+08:00

Hehheee today's shopping with CLarissa was so good!
We went to the city (incl. harbour town)and it's like the most I've spent in a shopping trip.
Luckily I was mentally prepared for this cos we were mainly shopping for the dinner dance coming up next sat and I had like absolutely NOTHING, so I had to buy EVERYTHING. Grr. The dress, shoes, clutch bag, make up blahhh. Hard on the girls, too easy for the guys...

Yep I'm SO SO glad Clarissa was there helping me all day,really thanks a thousand! Lol she's so sharp and good,she picked out my dress, shoes, bag, make up..OK wait,what!She was the one who spotted everything I ended up buying!!Rarrhh me noob -_-"

Well haha it's afterall my first time shopping for such formal stuff.It's really quite a different shopping experience the things we looked for today compared with the normal days!It's such satisfaction and JOY to have bought just about everything we wanted, good buys & good fun!=)

PICTURES!!~

(uh how frustrating!I accidentally deleted two valuable photos of us eating kebabs in harbour town!can't be bothered uploading them again,but I just wanted to say they're nowhere near broadway's 5-star kebabs!!hahahah)

Oooh dress pics coming up first!Tho they were taken towards the end of the shopping trip. That's at Myers.

Hahaa good fun in the changerooms when theres a camera around!

This is gorgeous!But it's 230 bucks!!
learning to pose yeah?

Changerooms in Myers are huge!Aww I didn't upload those multi-mirrors photos:( They were cool haha.

At Valleygirl, trying to look office-y!

ENded up more like waitress-y

GUys, see the lighting diff between myers and valleygirl?tsk tsk.myer owns.

flashhhh

<33

lol. that top im wearing's pretty cool,but i didn't get it damn=(

hahah loveeely~
HAHA she's so upright in here!

I daren't put mine up,she said I looked choked up and constipated in this office-y outfit lol!

OOh more similar clothing.

Buttons to the top!*Choke* And we didn't buy any of these "formal wear" of cos :)

First thing I bought today: 10 bucks shoes from Betts!!THey're sexy and make you super tall!:)

Can't resist. That's the dress we finally found.Lol or rather party frock?

So yeah,it was real good fun!Haha spent a bit too much tho, but it's still such gd buys!Esp the shoes!

blehhh

2008-07-07T13:01:00.002+08:00

blehhh-ness

mum's going off to switzerland next thursday!!=(
sigh I hope she'll be able to do well there,since there's no one she knows in that french speaking place. miss her.miss her.miss her.

last night was a real bore.OOh and it was FREEZING last night!
I decided ok I'll go along this time to a dinner at someone's house cos mum said it was a dinner for her farewell and that we'll be leaving by 9pm.

Hahh but no no we must never trust what the adults say again,cos we ended up leaving past midnight! BOREEEED us kids did all sorts of things.Card games, piano, animal game, and the last resort-sitting on the carpet watching random shows on tv for a couple hours.

That was so sickening.
SO we watched rove,then this strange thriller called dexter,then trinny&sussanah undress, then the wimbledon match-roger federer and rafael nadal (just blehhhhhhh watchwatchwatch)

At least the wimbledon match was cool,seeing them play tennis was like woah.
only saddd cos roger federer LOST!! Rarrrhhhh no sixth win in a row anymore!!:( wth,pity!

and i washed my shoes ytd=) it's still not whitey white tho..
piano at 3 and work tonight uhhh.
i get too lazy during the holidays.turn into a sloth that's right.AHHH

tuesday

2008-07-01T21:06:00.002+08:00

We're watching a nuclear weapon/explosion sort of video tmr in physics:)
And haha we're making spring rolls in chinese this friday,last day of term!

WOOTS~We even told Ms Xiao that we wanna make sushi next term and she said yeah maybe(even tho it's japanese nothing to do with chinese!).Lols in a way I'm really glad she's our chinese teacher,really so damn slack.She lets us do our other homework,study for tests,eat chocolates, listen to music etc!Of course,we DO write our chinese blahhh.

The other day,I think it was last week,we were watching a video about Yao Ming-that super tall china basketball player!And it's a pretty cool video,for the first time everyone was actually watching it hahas.So,I guess if we have to change to a full-on-write-chinese-every-lesson teacher I'll so quit chinese class.But for now,it's all pretty good:D

I found the physics test today quite hard.Left blanks,didn't have time to think about them or even write down the answers.Gee oh well:) I'm prepared anyway,it's last week of school.Can't be bothered with doing much for the tests~

3 more days of school!!!~

happy day!

2008-06-30T19:02:00.003+08:00

Wee hi guys!
Today is strangely such a happy and good day for me.
I have no idea why but I just feel so energised and cheerful:D And I absolutely love this feeling.

Today...was actually just quite another normal school day.
Maybe alot slacker than a normal school day,seeing as the hols are coming up next week and we really can't be bothered with any work anymore!Yeah but despite that,I feel so surrounded by friends today,it's strange thinking abt things like that but I feel loved somehow haha:)

That you know,life may have its ups and downs but we must always pull through the hard times to once again experience the good days!There's always a bright side to everything(ok I don't fully agree with this phrase but it sounds very encouraging!)heheheh

Also to note,today was the FIRST time this year that I got a 100% in a test!Omg I'm so happy. And it's for maths haha.But hmm gosh tmr is the physics test and I heard Mr Massang is writing it,don't think I'll get anything near what I got for intro calc today:( I better put in at least abit of effort to study later although I really don't feel like it.

I'm so on holiday mode now..

Just now at piano lesson Irene and I were very slack as well.But it feels very good once again.To not be so seriously playing the pieces in preparation for a piano exam,but to really take your time and have a slack and fun time while playing all these nice pieces now.Man,I love the piano! Not my piano(it's so crap I desperately need a new one),but just piano in general!There are just SO SO many gorgeous songs out there,I really wanna play well and be able to play all pieces that I wanna play:) Irene is so good at piano that she's motivated me so much ahahahha:D

Wahh uncle richard,a really close family friend in singapore jsut called and we had a little chat.I'm so excited!We'll finally be meeting all of them,the whole family,back in singapore this dec!!I AM LIKE SERIOUSLY SO EXCITED ABOUT GOING BACK TO SPORE!

Gotta understand me.I haven't been back for like what,2 years?Considering I went back for 4 months in the first year since moving to perth,2 years is quite a while!I can't wait to meet all my pri sch mates,family friends,grandma grandpa,relatives...actually just everyone!And to hang out at lol,tampines mall.HAha I bet that place changed heaps since those days but wahh all the food and shopping.I'm gonna work hard this sch hols and save up as much as I can to spend it all and have a really really good time!HAHA I'm going crazy with today,I feel so happy.

WEEEEEEEEEEEE~

Brownie disasters"

2008-06-28T22:59:00.007+08:00

SIGH SORRY GUYS FOR LIKE VANISHING AND NOT POSTING.

It's been weirdly busy the last week or so.EVen after the exams and with the hols coming up the following week,there was all these tests and homework stacking up day after day last week!
Just can't be stuffed doing the work eh,and they keep piling up making my diary so full of writing.

Anyway I can't wait till the holidays!I hope to be working alot to save up and earn as much as I can.Got too many things I wanna buy!It's nuts really.

And guys we'll be heading to that shobu shobu thing on 10th july for caleb's bday right!? I'm gonna take the day off work for that day.

Second week of hols we've got a youth camp for 3 or 4 days,and the day after the camp ends we have this dinner and dance for yr 11&12s. Truthfully,I'm more nervous than excited. I'm clueless I guess.No dress no bag no shoes.No hairdos and makeups.
Worst of all,mum's leaving for Switzerland the day before the d&d,when I'm at the camp!SO there's no help:( I have to try make clarissa help me out.
Probably do some shopping the first week of hols.(I haven't been shopping much at all this year!So proud!!YAY)

Urrrhh so much to say but I wanna sleep...
Today was quite a busy day.MOrning I went delivery those pamphlet things.Then went to the banks to sort out some superannuation accounts etc.It took way longer than I expected!

So came back home round about 12pm and grab random stuff for lunch quickly.I had planned to bake 2 batches of brownies before having to work at 3pm.Brownies,what a crazy idea.I feel like some kitchen disaster esp when cooking/baking alone.The whole idea started cos tmr is JUNIE'S B'DAY!She's this singaporean chick who works at subway too and she's very similar to me,somehow.She's cool:D

Yeah,so when I told mum I was gonna bake,she wanted to bring some out for tea with her friends.And I wanted to bring some to sch on mon,so I ended up baking 2 batches.Sheesshh I'm glad my dad was at home when I was baking and he saved me a couple times from disasters.

Almost BIGGG DISASTER: I popped the 250g block of butter into the microwave with the aluminuim foil wrap on, and it ALMOST exploded on my face.I was SAVED and still am living today because the moment I popped it in mindlessly,my mum and dad screamed at the same time and at that moment I saw a blue spark from the butter and I quickly hit the stop button. Opened up the microwave and it smelt burnt. That was only 4 SECONDS of microwaving aluminium.SHIT!!!!!Scared the hell outta me,.

NExt thing(actually there's alot but I dun have time to say them all),the damn american recipe book said "Preheat the oven to 350 degrees".
I looked at the oven,it only goes to 225 degrees.THe highest was "max".ANd thinking because the writer of the recipe book must be using some kinda pro oven and ours was too crap for such high temperatures,I just turned it to the max temperature.

Popped the 1st batch of brownies in and 10 mins later or sth,..
I glanced at it and saw irregular inflation on the surface of the brownie.OK weird,.
Then looked carefully again and this time saw it turning black on the surface!WTH!
BURNING!>?
Then I asked my dad and together,yup yup it took two of us..we figured that the recipe is in bloody fahrenheit.And that should be about 175 degrees celsiucs(how to spell this stupid word?) not 350 degrees celscius!Shit,so noob.

Well whatever it is,I'm glad ppl at work liked it:)
See everything's not too bad as long as it turns out alright.
Afterall,it is from a really good american baking book!

Oh damn I forgot to take pictures of the first time I baked brownies myself!
Arhh nvm,they didn't LOOK too good anyway.Breaking apart and all cos I was cutting them up too soon before they cool..

Here's some photos from a while ago!Enjoy!

KOREAN FOOD FETE!

David(peace).Ashley(peace).Me(peace).Keziah(alienated peace).

weekend

2008-06-15T22:50:00.002+08:00

Today is Yingzhi's birthday!
S'pore pri sch mate!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU!!

ANother weekend is over and once again sch tmr.But this weekend's a little different from the others.
On saturday,david's church had their annual food fete.ANd I so wanted to go cos there was all these korean food,only I had to work just about the whole day.Distributing pamphlets in the morning and then subway 3pm-10.30pm.

But hahah pro,I managed to go in the end anyway!My dad ended up distributing the pamphlets for me(I didn't ask him to do so,but he's nice anyway so thanks dad)and we finished another area off today when they came back from church.

So keziah and I went there together,all went well and we found our way to the totally unfamiliar place!That's what's cool about taking buses and just (wandering) around new places.Well we met ashley and david there.Ashley was so funny,snapping up so much food in such a short period of time.SHe's like grab grab grab grab grab everything.And she had a camera so when I get pictures off her,I'll post them uP!:D

And we ate quite a bit,I didn't overeat yay!Because all of us packed food home:) Dammit I'm trying to remember names of the food but I cant really.I know there's odeng(fishcake), ddokbokki(my fave,spicy rice cakes), bulgogi(beef), jap chee(noodles) and can't rmb other names.There wass some kinda pancake with vegs or kimchi in it and it was quite nice too!

And hahah thank goodness we left just before Moses arrived.Lol.The loss was that we missed Anna and Caleb who were with Moses.

Anyway all was going well according to bus/train timetable plan on the way home.But grrr I always seem to have train "disasters" when with friends.
Last time with Maria from the city,I was rushing like crazy to get back to work at subway and we actually took the opposite train line,which heads down to Mandurah in a rush.So crazy lol.

And this time with Keziah we did catch the right train but,we were talking and talking that we missed our stop!AHHHH had to jump off at the nearest station and catch the opposite train back to Stirling.Not as late for work as I was the last time though,so phew!

Work last night was kinda boring but tiring.After running around the whole day,our night shift was meant to have 3 ppl but one guy broke his finger and no one could do his shift,so it was just me and william all night.Do more work,serve more customers,have to bear with william uhhh.
On the bright side,my manager called in and said I get 1.5 of my pay last night since we're working well with 2 ppl instead of 3!Hahas.

As for today,nothing very interesting.
I overslept and missed church.
Damn second time that happened already.
So I did some piano-got very nice new pieces to play!:)
And cleaned the house.And distributed the remaining pamphlets.
Mum's friends came over for dinner and I had to watch George of the jungle with the kids.Hmmm. And after they left at 9pm,start homework and go on computer!
Woww I'm nuts today,why am I writing out everything I did...
ANyway,enough of me blabbering on.BYE!

Exam results:)

2008-06-11T22:07:00.002+08:00

HEY!

My piano teacher called up a few hours ago and said she got my exam report by mail already.Haha and I'm happy with the result,so is she I guess lol.
Apparently there was a final comment which read sth like:"The aural cost you an A."
Wahhh damn,I was SO close to an A,if not for the aural which I know I made a gazillion mistakes on!And maybe the sorethroat came at a good timing cos it's sorta like an excuse for making mistakes:D But well,I hate aurals anyway.At least the examiner was nice,he played the notes an octave lower just so that I can hit the notes with my bad voice.Lols.

As for the pieces,I think I played my best already so I'm just looking forward to the comments from the examiner.
And my piano teacher,Irene,gave me new pieces to play again and they're SOO nice!One of them's from the romantic period and it's so mesmerising and sweet.And I'll probably go find some classical pieces.

And and,after the exam dad and I went for lunch at Delish.And I had my Tex Mex CHix toastie again!3rd time lol haven't tried anything else cos this one seems really good!I think I'll try something new next time but we hardly go there.It seems like my piano exam food,whenever I have a piano exam,there'll always be lunch at Delish lol.I like that treat.<3

With school exams,I'm also very happy with my results.Oh yerr I wanna go average them up and check my TER score!Keep forgetting-_-"
I was just quite pissed with G&T getting scaled down 4% cos that made my 93% score drop to a 89%.And a "9" definitely looks better than a "8" yessssssss. 2 freddo frogs!
And I only managed to scab ONE mark off Mr Kirou for intro calc. WEE. Wish I can give that to ashley-perfect 100.

This sat David has a church food fete.KOREAN FOOD!ANd I so wanna go...
I think it'll be sth like maria's jap sch festival but in korean style!Haha.
Only thing stopping me:WORK and transport.Grrrrr I must make sure to rearrange working hours and find my way there SOMEHOW.
Korean food here I come!!!

VOICELESS

2008-06-08T22:28:00.002+08:00

School resumes once again tmr and looks like I do have to go for the last two periods-which are english and chinese.It is our only classtime tmr for english to get things together for the speech. And I'm feeling gooooood right now cos I JUST finished typing it up and all.Really,FINALLY.

Well, anyway.Very important news: I lost my voice.Not a sore throat,not a cough but im left with a croaking cracked voice.SCREAM THAT OUT SOMEONE HELP ME.I think it came so suddenly on..friday.Yep friday.Let's see.. I had instant noodles, chocolate, then went for piano lesson in which I did some "singing",came back and had spicy korean soba(v. nice!).
THen went out for dinner,aha.That must be the culprit. All those deep fried and oily stuff at the chinese restaurant!I must say, the food's so nice but just about everything was fried. Oh yeah and then we went to someone's house.
And then to McDonalds for a 20 nuggets meal among us 3 kids(the whole eating out and moving around schedule is bcos a family friend from spore came over and it's their last night in perth). Yes, ok the chips and nuggets must've killed my voice or sth.

Uuhhh whatever it is,I hope it recovers by tmr or I'll fail my aural test in the piano exam!!! And better not be talking so unconvincingy in english with this toad voice.

Even last night at subway,it was so baddddd
It was like, "would you like any sauccccccc....?"can't even say the word sauce.
Can't say anything,especially who what where why how.It goes off in some high pitched tone before I finish the word.SO ANNOYING>

Okay I have to go take super size vitamin c pills to get better=(
Need 4 gos to swallow that freaking [pill down.Graahhhhhhhhhhh

2008-06-06T17:15:00.002+08:00

Wee I felt so much better after work yesterday!:)
With Matt and Junie,that crazy couple.
Guess what.Try saying this ten times really fast:
"I am a feasant plucker's son.And I pluck feasants."

And we were doing the "peter piper","she sells seashells.." and "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck..."stuff. I totally sucked at the woodchucking one,damn.
What the,I kept saying "How much wood would a woodchuck cook.."

Grrr great,I just started blogging and we have to go out for dinner already.Arrggggh and only 2 more days left of our exam holidays.HELP!Sorry nicole I haven't started on that english oral presentation.I'm so dead.I didn't seem to have done anything at all this week,except watching bullfighting and going on the computer and piano of course.
Piano exam this coming monday!OH NOOOOOO

exams over

2008-06-03T20:05:00.003+08:00

Exams off the back!
Slack days are awesome.
So,I'm watching Bullfighting and surprise surprise,it's nice:D
Taiwan dramas are all nice!

But piano exam's creeping up on me next monday.Ughhh I'm so put off piano exams.Freaking scales and boring shit.They really should have exams just on playing the pieces.

The other day,think it was saturday,it was hailing in perth!Apparently it's not a big wow wow because it happened before,but it's the first time I saw it!That day with the storm,ben and I saw little ice pieces falling onto on courtyard.Banging down sharply on the roofs too.So cool.

And life is never meant to be smooth sailing.
It's full of shit.
I want to turn into a fish and swim away just chewing on seaweed all day.No brains.No talk.No heartaches.

nokia 888

2008-05-25T13:31:00.002+08:00

ZZZzzzz

It's great that there's no school while exams is on yeah?Today I woke up 3 hrs late.I didn't even hear my alarm at all!Crazy,it was probably making noise for like half an hour and I didn't even hear a single beep in my sleep!Rawwwrr I hate waking up late,I saw the 10:04 on my clock this morning and I was like *pause* "WHAT THE!"

But anw.So I didn't go to church today and end up having time to go on the computer!Hrmmm.
Well and I think I've been a little too silly lately.
For some reason I've been doing G&T yest and today but haven't touched on physics-which is the one i really need help on.Gosh somebody slap me.

And and,last night at work I saw this really cool phone on the internet.HTC Diamond!ARRRHH I want it.And watched a video on the nokia 888 concept.It is nuts,I wouldn't want that kinda phone but I'll say technology is shooting up hell fast.
The nokia 888 phone is like a lengthened version of a bend-aid or a skinnier version of a sanitary pad.It is FLEXIBLE-forming shapes and shit,can be worn around ur wrist, and is so so thin it's freaky.Well the whole thing looks freaky anyway,doesn't look like a phone anymore.

Yeah im in a phone phase.

canningvale?

2008-05-18T21:52:00.004+08:00

So busy buzzy!

Weekends seem to be time to do MORE work than weekdays.Saturday was once again work all day.Pamphlet distributing is getting alot easier as we get used to it(and ytd had such fantastically cool weather for walking). Then subway at night with Junie and William. Lols that was quite fun cos Junie and I were going psycho at work.

Today was church and we went to open houses in Canningvale after.Like wow!Open houses are SO cool!I just suddenly get perspective of how nice houses can be.Ours is actually really damn small.OUr whole family can't wait to find the prefect house at a perfect price:) That explains the wait wait wait.

Canningvale is a new estate and the whole estate looks so beautiful.
Maple trees,lots of greenery, a lake, red coloured paved roads and "unique" houses.Oh,even unique lampposts!Sorta like a little classy.And the houses are so cheap compared with Innaloo and stuff.Bigger land lower price.

The downside?Definitely big.When we drove back home we realised it was so daamn FAR down south!There's small shops and stuff but SO FAR FROM BIG SHOPS AND THE BEACH!SO FAR FROM SCHOOOOL. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Dammit otherwise it would've been perfect.I dun really wanna take 3hrs transport up and down for school everyday!And work?and piano?and friends?Bleahhhhh I love innaloo:)

So yeah that was house looking.Came back home for an hour of house cleaning!
Then we had T-Bone Steak for dinner!SO YUM :D
And finally tonight after dinner I had the chance to do my homework and go on the computer!
Still not enough time!
Never enough!!!

UHHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE EXAMS ARE ONLY A WEEK AWAY!
I swear I REALLY need to start studying.English is this friday.At least I can't study much for that.Phew. BUt oh help for everything else.Must go back to relearn what I forgot!
Yup so I better go now..Actually to have a look at facebook mwaha!OK bye!

2008-05-10T23:22:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIYING!
In half an hour's time:)
Whoopeee!~
Oh yeah..Also HAPPY MOTHERS DAY for tmr!

Today was like a full day of working for me.I slept in and then my bro and I went distributing the pamphlets.That was quite shitty in the sense that the bags of pamphlets were heavy and now my shoulders are aching.AND I ALMOST LOST MY PHONE IN THE PROCESS.

WHen I found that it was missing,I was just thinking,like hey maybe this is a sign that I really should get a new phone soon!Yay.But well,I retraced my steps by running and luckily,found my phone!Relief relief.

In between the distribution I was craving for sushi so I came home and cooked rice,my mum prepared the ingredients and we made sushi!Korean sushi-Kimbab!
Then rush rush gobble gobble ate my sushi,delivered the rest of the pamphlets and went off to work at subway.

And yeah,at work today tamara and I started burping the alphabets!So cool,we got skill:D
She's goes "aaaa" and I go "Bbbbbbbb" (in burps) and so on.Elvin stands there disgusted by us girls lol. And donny bought some peri peri chips from nandos today.It's the first time I tried them,they're so nice!I'm definitely going back for more!I just wanna eat all the good food under the sun.

Just travel everywhere eating good food:)
Sounds like a great life.
Anw,I better get going.Our church moved into a bigger place so now we have two services combined in one at an earlier time.Hafta wake up at 7am tmr,it's worse than a school day!

Nite.
zzzzzz

2008-05-09T22:00:00.002+08:00

Heya
it's friday night!No school tmr:)

I think tmr morning my brother and I are going pamphlet-distributing.Guys it's really a fairly good pay!We get exercise(which I guess I need.otherwise Im so unfit) while earning extra cash- it's tax free too! The only downside so far is putting all the different pamphlets together in one stack. That's easy but it takes some time-makes my back ache sitting there dealing with pamphlets!But yeah,I think it's a good deal.

Tmr will also be Tamara's last shift at subway!
:( :( :(
I wish she'd stay.She's always there to brighten up the whole place!Last night,her second last shift,matt tamara and I started to do weird stuff.Dunno where the idea came from but it's funny.

Tamara took a bbq sauce bottle and decided she's gonna squirt it vertically upwards so that she can get the sauce on the ceiling.But silly her lol,she squirted the bottle and the bbq sauce exploded towards the ceiling and came down onto her. Gees:D

After that we were cutting up paper to little bits and pieces.We turned the evaporative air-con off as we put the paper bits on the flaps of the evaporative air-cons.Then adjusted the flaps to the right angle(skill matt.) and turned the aircon on.And TADA!It was like snowing at our backroom in subway!Super cool.

Weee
However,school isn't that great.
Chemistry and intro calc are getting harder.Damn
But G&T is quite easy atm,so that makes up for it:)
Physics is just hmmmm,can never be easy.
While eng and chinese is just like,stuff it.

My piano exam is coming up soon as well.In a month's time and I'm starting to worry.Cos I took a 3 week break from my lessons during the hols and when I went for lesson this mon I played like some shit.Gosh I probably don't have any musical sense at all or sth!Still not anywhere near great in my pieces and my exams are coming up!help!

Wanna get away and just be a full time slacker?

gmmmmmmm

2008-05-03T23:44:00.003+08:00

This week is...uhhh
already sick of school.One week down.

I just came back from my church's "Explosion" night but dunno why I'm not as pumped as I normally would be.Grrr feeling so empty.But amanda,think bright!Today was quite nice.Every meal was good=) And that's right,TODAY I FINALLY got my bank account sorted out.FINALLY got a refund for all that the wrong tax on my interest for so long.Hrrmm

All of tmr will be filled up,so unfortunate.Church and lunch then straight to work till 10.30pm.
Giossh ok Im gonna stop posting now.My bro's being annoying won't shut up.

Shit maybe I just need some sleep.

Food update

2008-04-27T00:28:00.002+08:00

Only 2 more days of hols:(
This means I REALLY have to sit down and finish all my homework.SUcks so much.

Yesterday I caught the train to the city to do some small shopping on my own only to arrive and find all the shops closed because Anzac day is a public holiday.Urrhhhh wad a dumbarse right.Lol.

Congratulations to my mum for her fantastic score in GMAT(graduate management admission test)! 700/800!!! Woohoo!It so good,way beyond her goal and expectation!ANd she's heading to Switzerland this July to study a masters in hospitality and tourism for a year.I'm quite reluctant but will support her!

To "celebrate" her good GMAT score,she treated us(our family and another family friend) to DImsum today.And gee it's at the same restaurant as the one I went with Faye and CHerie a couple days ago.Should be about time I'm sick of dimsum.Had it like 5 times this few months already!

I had work just now too but it was so boring cos there were hardly any customers.We stood around reading magazines, played celebrity heads and surfed the net for a bit.Hey and today I had a 6 inch chicken strips "marinated" in sweet chilli and bbq sauce toasted with mozerella cheese sub.Just a really random food info.

OH and I've been back to peanut butter and banana sandwiches again!SO SO SO YUM!
And I recently discovered mountain bread is nice lol.
Oh yeah!The new CHOC MINT SHAKES at McD's are SO GOOD!!!! FAye told me about them and I tried it it was so good even though I normally don't like milkshakes.
Hmm I reckon the veggie patty at subway's pretty gross.Tried it the other day and it tasted just like mooshed up carrot and dunno what other stuff(has a bad stink to it too).

Yeah..And I really like my slideshow!HAHA, quite a bit of effort put into it,so naturally I like it I guess.Okay enough of my random talk.I better sleep soon cya!

Finally a new blogskin!

2008-04-25T10:44:00.002+08:00

YES!Mission acomplished.

FINALLY, I've changed the blogskin.And it took me a damn couple of days because of that photo slideshow.

Hees I dunno why but I felt like a slideshow of random happy bits of my life and so I went photo hunting in my dad's computer and found so many photos that I didn't even remember taking!But it's so cool,I'm scanning through the albums and suddenly it's like, Omg we're so cute as kids!(esp my bro I think.now he's just **** lol jk)

So yeah I put a good 100 over photos into the slideshow thing the other day,was putting in captions for them when suddenly the computer hanged.THAT WAS SO SHIT.Fucking computer wasted all my time.

Made me redo the whole process again last night.Where I had to find all the photos I wanted, upload them all and put captions in.Grrrr. But it's all good now that it's done!

And this skin is sort of "put together" by me!!YAY.I took the main layout from one skin and the cookie picture from the other.Then I had to move the boxes around abit,fit in my slideshow and tagboard too.Hahas quite satisfied even though it's a simple skin.

Last night I had to work too.With Matt and Tamara and it was quite fun.Matt brought in a skipping rope and we were just skipping and mucking around when there was no customers.Then we played celebrity heads!
Gosh I was Jesus and Fat Bastard...
Haha Tamara was George Bush and Anna NIcole Smith,
and Matt was Barbie and William(a guy everyone hates at work)!

Good fun:)

2nd yallingup trip

2008-04-23T23:23:00.007+08:00

Heyyy!
Only 4 more days left of the holidays.I've gotta max it out, too many things undone!

Quite all thanks to the nine days spent at yallingup.Quite a long time slacking there but every single moment was enjoyable and fun!We went bodyboarding this time-the waves were alright I guess,most rainy days were just dumps but the sunny days were better.

Then some fishing at canal rocks and then snorkelling on the second last day at busselton jetty!That was pretty cool-seeing all these BIG schools of fishes.We saw like a school of more than a thousand or sth fishes really deep down hiding below the jetty all pretty still moving.It was quite a shock when I first saw it cos mum was on the jetty asking me if I saw any fishes and I shouted "ZERO." Then I looked down again and suddenly saw that 1000++ fishes and was like SHIT!!

Hehh and later on some fishes were trapping my bro and I in the middle by circling around us instead of swimming past.So super cool!:D
Snorkelling's so fun!

But then these few weeks are so rainy so a couple of days I just stayed in the chalet watching why why love!And it's so so nice!Man I love it cos it's so cute and funny.Weee!

Then here's some photos of our yallingup trip(unfortunately none of the beach nor snorkelling!):

double rainbow!can u see it?!
And it was a FULL double rainbow..!
Actin ladylike at a Goanna Gallery
Nice couch and models?:P
The guys with their fishing obessessions

This painting's cool
Dad-Mum
Simmo's ice cream!They give really big scoops so we went 3 times:D
Go us!

That's my chicken turkish from goanna gallery's rest. IT'S SO GOOD!
And Mum's taste plate.

Yesterday I went to northbridge with faye and cherie.It was a very lost day lol.Well it was still fun as always:)

Dim sum, laserlights, timezone, supposedly bowling(but it was fully packed so we wasted so much time travelling there and back!) and more eating later!

1st time dim sum for faye.
gee guys fighting for MY dumpling...haha
faye's trying hard to swallow ONE fried tentacle.LOL
Faves-Jin Tui!!
The strange aliens on the train

And the pretty girls on the train:)

Dad volunteered himself to do ALL the cooking there, so yehhh my poor tummy's in for trouble... BAHhhaa oh well better than me cooking,so I can't complain! <3 dad!

OH ya also a HAPPY BITHDAY TO ARIF for tmr!!!!!!!
It's very strange how certain ppl's bdays sort of get stuck in your head while you completely forget about others..And coming up in exactly one month and one day's time is Kai Ying's bday! WOoohooo!

So yeah,I'm a good friend as you can see:)
Aaaanyways.....
I gtg now,so will still update when i get back!

2008-04-02T18:28:00.002+08:00

:) :) :)

And better still, term 1 hols are coming in 1 and half weeks time!!WEEE~ Us family are going down to Yallingup again for a week haha.And I'm really hoping it will be nice sunshine weather then or else we can forget abt the surfing snorkelling etc..

And 2nd week of hols I'll be working almost everynight!Occupied:D

Rightio-cya

Got love Camp

2008-03-24T20:18:00.003+08:00

HAPPY EASTER GUYS!

I love Jesus:)

Rarrr I just came back from Keziah's church camp this afternoon.4 days camp!But it was SO SO awesome.Really awesome and special.

Schedule was really full on:
like 2-3 sessions(talks/"sermons") a day, 2-3 worships a day with games and group activities in between.
Time went upside down too-as in every night bed time was around 2am-3am.We got started on worship at 9.30pm on one night and the sermon started at 10.30pm or sth.Lol then had SUPPER AT 12 MIDNIGHT.

Oh ya last night was fantastic.It was just mind blowing can i say?Like I could feel God's presence among us and the Holy Spirit came down on us.We were bawling our eyes out, people falling to the ground and life changing experiences for many of us:D

And powerhouse last night!Worship till 2.30am in the morning.

Night games sucked for me tho.In each group of 10 people half of us have to be blindfolded and I had to be one of the blindfolded ones!So we paired up,normal leading the blind and we went all round the campsite to different stations playing the DISGUSTING games.It was so much worse when you can't see what you're eating or putting your hands into.GROSS.

Only taste and touch pretty much.We had to eat apples soaked in coffee-sour apples too; "cupcakes" made of wasabi and rendang and dunno wat else!;and the worst was dipping our hands into a bucket to retrieve 100 tokens in there.INSIDE the bucket was something no one figured out.
Canned spaghetti, sago, soya sauce, tissue papers, rice wine and lots of other shit.OUR HANDS SMELLED SOOOOO BAD!

But water games was fun:D Basically everyone got so so soaked. There was twister on the mat with soapy water and while you're busy twisting around ppl pour buckets of water on you.And shit it was cold.

Then there was netball-only that we use a tomato as a ball.Not very wise.Games where you get blindfolded again, and games where you get flour all over your wet face(flour+water= dough!) and in your mouth and teeth and all.

Oh there was tug-o-war too!!That was so fun.
ONE! TWO! PULLLLLLL!!!!!!!
ONE! TWO! PULLLLLLL!!!!!!!
And hey the two games I played in my team won.I'm strong eh!MWAHAha/

So uhhh I really didn't wanna leave camp.What an experience...People were all super nice there and the mums cooked really well too!Probably made me put on another 2kg but it's ok!LOl.
Yeah just such a wonderful easter weekend for me:)

Daisy's party

2008-03-17T20:41:00.006+08:00

-EASTER-

2008-03-04T21:00:00.002+08:00

Long weekend was gooooooood:)
I replenished my precious sleep and watched a lot of tv!
Ytd we also drove up looking at the houses and stuff and we went to Mullaloo beach for a swim. Very crowded but it was so good cos it was quite very hot as usual!

Oh and just today after school we went to the surf&skate sale and all of us bought a wetsuit!Plus clothes and a bodyboard the total bill was a shockin $1000++ ! Even the cashier was like,here you can have these free waxes and necklaces,thank you.Lol.

And school is just blah.Hate english,it's been a week and I've only written 1 page of the short story.

Then G&T was SO SO SO boring today.I could feel my eyes almost closing, like ughh!

mw\ehh

Tests 1

2008-02-25T20:32:00.002+08:00

Looks like my blog went dead for a week but that's alright:)
Can't really be bothered updating much since it's all school anywaY.

Well,today was test test test. Chem,Physics and Intro Calc tests.
I guess it wasn't too bad in general, actually it was just physics that was hard.Yeah damn physics. And damn g&t too.Maybe damn them all.

Today is my piano teacher's bday!Just discovered when I went for a lesson today and someone came in to give her a present!And tmr is Cherie's bday!Woots!
Bdays are really quite interesting.

I now know 2 other ppl who have the same bday as me!
Glenda from primary school-same class,same bday and even born in the same hospital!!
And Tamara from subway-recent discovery as well:D HEE

Oh and speaking of subway....hahh
last thursday was Celeste's 2nd last shift so Celeste,Tamara and I baked a GIANT COOKIE!! It was made of abt 7 cookie doughs mashed out to form one BIG cookie dough and it really was HUGE!Probably twice the size of your face.
And we were such pigs,eating that cookie.

Look forward to this coming long weekend.Labor Day next monday wahoo!
And this thur everyone gets to miss out on periods 1 and 2 because teachers are going on strike in the city!It's crazy but nothing to lose for us students!Yay.

2008-02-14T20:59:00.002+08:00

First yoga class today:)

It was really quite good.We had to roll out our mats on the grass area by the pool and just do it under the shade of the willow(?) trees.Outdoor yoga!
Seemed pretty weird compared to the other class doing it in the dance room complete with music mirrors and fans but I think ours could be better in terms of fresh air and stuff.

yay.

And Happy Valentines Day.

Dad took us out for dinner tonight,how sweet.Italian foooooood!
And tmr we're going to Jaws for the "all-you-can-eat" buffet!Lalalala.Am I excited!

I'll eat like 1000 sushi.

2008-02-12T15:17:00.000+08:00

Zzzzz my brain's so zapped.
Because G&T is the WORST subject ever.

2008-02-08T20:19:00.000+08:00

Lol chinging: "ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL DOWN!WOOHOO!!"

"I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!
I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!
I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!
I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!
I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!I love thursdays!"

Let's all love thursday because we have sports and then get to go home early!
NO CHEMISTRY, NO PHYSICS... NO SCIENCE AT ALL!!!
AND NO G&T TOO!

A hurray for that!

And well I picked yoga too for sports and will be doing it with everyone else, see how unflexible I am!

Yeah. And classes are just boring.
No one mucks around in class anymore, Everyone-heads down work work work.

And I really must say that maybe using ur brain more results in getting hungry faster.?
My 1st week of school theory:D

It's true for me though.I'm pretty much starving this week before I get home from school but I used to be full when I come home.Weird stuff.

Anyways.I had really yummy char siew pork and glutinous rice for dinner tonight.
Hehe just a random bit of update:)
CYA

yr 11 starts

2008-02-03T18:47:00.000+08:00

Life's back to a routine once tomorrow begins.
SCHool.
MAn.,

And chinese new year's coming up this thursday!Goodies!Food!And red packets hopefully?!

Anyways,
this holiday's been really a good time for me I guess.

Tho I was stuck in perth, at least we did all these stuff we've never done before!
And I'm talking about the surfing, snorkelling, abalone catching, and crabbing mostly during that trip down to Yallingup.Hehe that was the best fun ever:)

And ben and I signed up for a couple more surf classes in perth,just down at trigg beach.
Had the first one yesterday and it was heaps fun still!

There were so many ppl at the beach and like 50 over volunteer lifeguards doing their really weird looking training and exercises in the water.Looked like a training impossible for me.

And yeah went to watch sweeny todd with kaiying maria and chinging on fri and I think that show's quite cool and unique!All the costumes,hair and makeup,settings and singing!WOw.,
Hi-5 kaiying!Yay we loved it:D

Then we went for some shopping and lunch in the city.Not too bad a day actually.

Oh yea!Except that I had to work at 5pm that day and Maria and I were rushing to catch the train from the city back to stirling station at 4.45pm or sth.We ran all the way to the station and like saw the train just as we were on the escalator so we rushed down and managed to catch the train!

That was Phew!Yeah then we started chatting and suddenly maria went,"OMG!Amanda!Are we even on the right train??"
And how nice,the answer comes right away as we arrived at a station and the sign read "Esplanade".

Like SHIT!We caught the train going in the completely opposite direction!We're such tootsies.But it's alright,good thing maria realised it quick!I wouldn't have thought of it and would have been brought all the way down to mandurah or sth!Graajhh.

Hehe and last night Elvin was feeling so generous at work so he bought Junie and I a pie each from Jesters!
Woohoo here's a quote from Elvin when I bought him an ice cream last week:
"Anything free is good." :P Geees.

Anyway good luck for yr 11s!

DDAAA

2008-01-30T22:33:00.000+08:00

Mannn there's some really drunk guys at our neighbours house now.All going wooooooo! and ohhhhhhh and sing-a-song...Stupid neighbours.They really do party up late at times and it's SO annoying.Tsk.

OH yea kai ying did u go watch Sweeny Todd with Chinging?Wanna go to the city with Maria this friday??

Too bad u didn't come with us to the beach on monday!
It was hot yet at the beach there was a nice breeze:D

Haha Maria had so so so many new stuff at her house now!Ranging from all the winter clothes(which is nuts maria!!) ,bags, magazines, stationary to her whole snack cupboard stuffed with a year's supply of fat and sugar mwahaha, we'll go raid her house soon yeah.

Apparently those who worked last saturday did get double pay(AUssie day) even tho the public holiday was monday itself!When I saw it on the roster I was like-EYES POP. Lol cos I didn't even expect that.It was SUCH A BONUS considering all we did that night was talk and eat.No customers at all!Hah!More pay for doing less:):):)

And tonight wasn't too bad as well!Hehe I love working with Elvin.He brought in these food from his mum's bakery in Indonesia and we were eating so much all night.Yeah again. That evil thing.But I must say the food was so good!Maybe cos I miss it.

MAIN THING:BA GUA!!!The BBq pork thingy!Ooh yum yum it was so damn nice,the fragrance the taste the the..yumminess!Miss it alot.We also had kueh lapis,pandan cake and some kinda spongecake.

And stupid elvin..At the end of it all he went,damn all these food's making me feel like milk.
Then he went into the fridge and grabbed the Big M's banana milk and said,let's share it.
AHhh stuffing me with food..
But yeah yeah the banana milk was so good too!Crap,why does everything have to be so good.

WHen you have free food right in front of you,it's always so tempting to be eating non stop eh.
But I still LOVEE my job:D

Perth Zoo

2008-01-26T22:43:00.000+08:00

Happy Aussie Day.

Just came back from work at Subway.It was really really quiet tonight.There was ZERO customers from 7.30pm all the way till 9.30pm!We had a mini food party:D

William made a pizza with the wrap as the base, pepperoni, salami, chicken, cheese and BBQ sauce toppings and put it in the toaster.And freakishly enough it did taste like a pizza.. And the wrap IS indeed very interesting.He toasted another one later on just by itself and it came out puffed up like a gigantic cracker.Weird stuff.

And we all sat there having baskin robbins ice cream after.Such a slack night.

As for yesterday at the zoo!!
I reckon it was a real fun day.But.The weather was bizarre.

It was so fucking hot right from the start when we were catching the ferry over to south perth.Sweating and sticky all over throughout,it was just disgusting for me.And we even managed a BBQ at the zoo!

Faye Cherie and I are such great cooks yeh!Good teamwork guys :P
Even in a circumstance where we had no oil we got the sausage and hashbrowns cookin all the same.

Hehe and we saw so many active animals close ups!It was way better than the yr 8 sch trip to the zoo where all the animals were hiding so far away and we couldn't see much of them!
Oh and there was a very interesting video cherie got down on her camera.Turtle porn.
It involved two turtles(quite for sure) ,humping actions and even noises too.
Geez they really needed to get a room.

Lol can't wait to get photos and videos off cherie,but it might hafta be when sch starts.AHHH the sch disaster....

neoprints!

2008-01-22T19:40:00.000+08:00

Hehe so here's just a couple of them(neoprints are so COLOURFUL!!LOVE EM!),actually more than just a couple k.And they're ordered from the latest ones to the oldest ones.And I didn't scan alot of them cos they were stuck onto all sorts of things,not in "original condition".So yeah don't blame me if u are or u aren't on here heehhehehe!

SLEEPOVA

2008-01-18T21:35:00.000+08:00

HELLO!

Fantastic.This week's been such an improvement compared to last week in terms of activities!

Went to the shops on monday.

Watched I AM Legend on TUe.
But I didnt think it was very good.I dunno,I enjoyed the couple of "seat jumping scenes" but the ending was so crap.BADBADBAD.

Then at night went to a pastor's house to "babysit".Haha no actually I was just there to play and jamaica was the one babysitting!Watched monster house and ate all these junk.

After that Jamaica came over to our house for a sleepoveer!!That was real fun.First time I actually hosted a sleepover at perth thx to our small house but it was bcos our parents started the idea.And it occured to be a good one so it was executed!:D

Haha we made sushi together, bummed around and watched tv, played xbox till late and we went oveer to the shops just to show her the place since she lived down south!Hehe we bought the same pair or sunnies, some accessories(WOO!Can't get enough!) and I managed to spot a schoolbag on sale!A black billabong one.It was like a really fruitful trip cos we merely spent half an hour or sth there.

Then we went over to timezone with Ben.Took some neoprints and played all these games.Spent such a long time there!Hahas and we were sweating it out on the DDR(dance thingo) and I couldn't step on the freaking thing on matching time.Kept getting "MISS" and "BOO"s.

Stupid game.
LOl.

After the two nights Jamaica went back ytd morning and ahh I had to get back to working.It was pretty busy last night at subway and we were so tired man.Working non stop.But I brought back some meatballs for free again:)

Hehe and DOnny(manager) was SO SUPERnice cos he just came back from holiday overseas and he bought all the girl employees some jewellery!!Wat a better job then hungry jacks.... (: Whoopeeee

OKok last one..

This morning mum ben an auntie fren and i went out for breakfast at blue duck cafe or sth.In front of the beach:D Then after that the auntie brought us to trigg beach to show us the surf school she used to bring her kids to.

AND YAY it was only 100bucks for 4 x one and half hr lessons!Guess ben and i got hooked since the yallingup trip so we just had to get more of it!! Gonna do it 4 sats in a row when sch starts!!Can't wait!

Meanwhile I REALLY better start doing some pushups and if I can freestyle swimming so that I can actually paddle out there in the ocean!Or i'll be absoutely hopeless man..

My yet-to-be-muscularised arms haha:D

Anyway...feel so good today.Will update again some time!LET'S ENJOY WADS LEFT OF OUR HOLIDAYS GUYS!WEEE

peanut butter cookies!:D

2008-01-10T21:30:00.000+08:00

HOHO today I was actually bored enough to do some baking.

I made some peanut butter cookies and they turned out alright.Nothing fanciful. But strange thing is,the recipe said 15 mins preparation time and 10 mins cooking time but I actually took 2 hrs in total to finish everything!./.

Sad sad me.Slow as hell.

But it's all good, it helped me kill some time:)

Then I've only been working 3 hrs last night and also just now.Damn I gotta go get more shifts or I'll waste away at home.Yeah and i wanna watch i am legend too.But who with!!!

Bahhhhhh I'M SO GOING BACK TO SINGAPORE THIS YEAR END HOLIDAYS!!

after xmas shopping

2008-01-04T18:52:00.000+08:00

HEYA
This week's gone pretty fast. But nooooo we're halfway through our holidays already!!!

This is shopping week for me cos of the christmas sale:)
I went to the city and Harbour Town myself on monday and got some really GOOD buys!Summer clothes mainly but i did spend quite abit.How heartbreaking...yet exciting as usual whenever there's new additions to the closet hehe!

Then yesterday and today I went to Garden City with mum.Luckily I didn't spend too much.Just got more accessories and also,this floral crinkle dress from justjeans!Quite lovely!

And to make up for spending money all the time, I have to work work work. I decided-4 days a week.It's not too bad at the moment,just hope I don't get too sick of it.The thing I look forward to is the free food though!Still trying all the different subs.

Favourite right now: Italian BMT!It is the absolute best (agree with you ching ing!)-- Salami, pepperoni, ham, cheese and your salads!Hot and good!

And favourite cookie at subway: White Macademia!It's super addictive!Microwave for 6-8 secs would be good too

Anyway I'll be off.Watching My Girl atm.

BEST TRIP EVER-YALLINGUP

2007-12-30T18:32:00.000+08:00

HEY GUYS!!

In such a good mood now~Yesterday we just came back from our one week holiday retreat down at Yallingup (only 3 hrs from perth!) and it was like the BEST holiday EVER!!!

LIKE OMG it was so super fantastic I can't describe it.I guess everything was just perfect down there.. We had awesome weather throughout-everyday was HOTHOTHOT (hehe on fire) all in the mid 30s degrees and even reaching 44/45 degrees on boxing day!

We went to the beach EVERYDAY and even twice or thrice a couple times.Super.

Then we stayed at this villa which was right in front of the beach!5 mins walk down and you're in the ocean baby!We had a hammock and deckchairs on the "balcony verandah area" which looked out to the beach and in the afternoon we can just sit there and fall asleep!

Oh man I miss that place already...Anyway all of us "achieved something" outta this trip,which made it so damn awesome.

We went for surfing lessons 3 days and that was such an experience.I mean,I NEVER IMAGINED US STANDING ON SURFBOARDS AND RIDING THE WAVES!!! We had such a ball of a time and lol,I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Like how to catch a wave,trying to turn and ride ACROSS the wave etc. Ahhh it was just SO SO SO satisfying when I surfed.It's like a WOW I can finally "play" with the waves instead of just swimming and splashing around..

Well besides that,we were also lucky to have met some neighbours there who were pro scuba divers and stuff.They taught my dad and bro how and where to catch abalones and those guys jumped straight into it.

Went to get a licence,spent a shit load of money on equipment and caught like 200 over small abalones in total from the daily morning trips(as in 7am in the morning in the freezing water!) Uurgh I'm not a big fan of abalone and already am sick of it.

Haha and it's not just abalone.Mum said we'll be eating fish every meal for the next week or two thanks to all the fishes we caught during this trip and the jurien bay trip.HELP?!

And lastly,we went snorkelling at this rocky area next to the beach!It's like a small enclosed pool shielded away from the violent waves by the rocks.Don't look like much from the surface but underwater it's AWESOME!

We saw schools of fishes big small medium etc, sea snails, strange spongey corals and other weird stuff.And hehe if you imagine yourself as a fish, it really is pretty cool!

In love with this place I think.Haha we can't get enough of it so we're going back again for term 1's holiday next year.For another week too!! Just hoping that it won't turn too cold or else we can't do anything.

And with that holiday,we'll be getting into more snorkelling!We checked out Busselton Jetty on the way home yesterday and it looked good to us.It's 2km long a jetty and there's like HEAPS of corals and fishes underneath on the pylons especially.

YES so looking forward to that!

It seems like as if we've gotten over all the wineries, animals, sightseeing, landscape thingos(BORING BORING) and we're moving on to water activities!FINALLY!!!Hehe wanna find more good locations like Yallingup.Then maybe in the future it'll be visits to Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast etc. HOW EXCITING!!!!!!

Oh yay mum just uploaded photos from the camera.Copy from her...
Ok here's photos from the Yallingup trip!

Front view from the villa!Grass, hills, ocean all in 1.

Back of villa where the main door is.More greeen.

Then here's our first day at Yallingup.Just taking a walk on the huge beach.

Out at the balcony.RELAXX
Can see some equipment on the table and the ocean view outside?
The guys at work.Abalones
I wouldn't say it's fun,that's why I'm not involved:D
LOOK!The live abalone in front is twisting itself out from its shell!

And then,the lovely sunset.From the back of our villa
Another sunset at the beach.High tide at night.
This photo you can't miss.SEE:THE ABALONE IS AS BIG AS OUR FACE! Those scuba divers went deep down to catch them.
Small sample ones given by them:)

Later..Here's mum's way of cooking them

Kangeroo!They shit alot on the grass around our villa
HAHA don't be fooled.My brother didn't catch that!YES!!

That's about it.

Here's a couple of photos from the Jurien Bay trip at the start of dec.

It was all about fishing....

Dad and Ben-the ppl in charge of baits!HEHE

Fisher-family
That's the jetty.Blah.

Oh oh!This is the seal that came right up to the jetty!

Ahh,it's so super cute!We fed it some fishies!:)

Okie that's abt it for now.If I have the chance,will upload some photos of snorkelling!Cos tmr will be going to Harbour Town!SHOPPING!

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS.

2007-12-21T14:15:00.000+08:00

HERE'S A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

AND ALSO A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHENG QIAN!!

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm so bored at home today.Nothing organised to do out. But very productive you know,I cleaned up the blinds in the house, ironed all my clothes and packed my bags for the trip to Yallinyup tmr.

Last night was my first time I did closing at Subway and it wasn't very good.There was only the two of us and it was an exceptionally busy night so we had to clean up all the way till 10.30pm instead of the normal 10.10pm.Huh I'm such a noob still.

But whatever!I'll be back in a weeks' time!CYA

first couple weeks of hols

2007-12-17T20:13:00.000+08:00

Been a little -just a little- too lazy to blog for the past week or so because we had friends from singapore come over for a visit again.Haa whoppee!~

Last weekend we drove up north to Jurien Bay with their family with one main purpose in mind: fishing.

It's not my favourite thing and maybe that's why I thought that trip was kinda boring.
It really REALLY has nothing in the town(like only one supermarket, one cafe, one petrol station, one sports store, one bakery and one clothes shop). Yeah that's the whole of the city of Jurien Bay.

Damn it was pathetic.But we stayed in a caravan thingo and that was quite cool cos we did that for the first time.Everything was clean and the thing I liked about it was how compact all the drawers and cabinets were.Sense of cosy-ness you know!!

Then besides fishing,we pretty much didn't do anything else.Luckily it was only for 2 nights.Oh yeah... me, my bro and Kim went swimming at the beach there once when it was so super windy and cold but it was quite fun.We were doing handstands and races and piggybacks and shit because there was no waves anyway.Fun stuff.

All this week- first half week of holiday! -was alot of eating out and "shopping" with them ppl from singapore.All that pre xmas sale!!AWHAHAHHHH......

OH ya, last wed was the river cruise and I went superly underdressed as a waitress.Ppl were so creative- policewomen, tradies, nurses, a ghostbuster, rockstars, drunken housewives, mimes etc, Lol I should've put in more effort. But that was quite fun. Heaps of dancing on the boat.

Well for this week...
tmr I'm heading to Centro Galleria for a movie and the shops!Maybe get more good stuff on sale!With eileen and dexter:)

hmm on wed I'm going over to Cherie's.FAYE WE WISH YOU COULD COME!!!!!!!!! Sheesh us two lonely peeps will be having brekkie, watching the mummy and maybe walking over to Subiaco.But hope it'll still be some fun.

Heh then on sat our family will be off to yallinyup!!! To stay one week at the chalet right in front of the beach and to go bodyboarding and snorkelling and stuff everyday.Ahhhh I'm so SUPER excited! :D:D:D Pls pls pls have a good weather all week.

Gonna update some photos from the rivercruise and watever else later on when I get a hold on them, so look out yeah!

visit hj

2007-12-02T16:54:00.000+08:00

Man this weekend is so boring.I stayed home all of today and just watched tv.

Yesterday was pretty slack too.Eh it's the first time in such a LOONG time that I slept for 11 hours and wake up in time for lunch!It feels pretty good actually:)

I had to work last night and it was quite alright.But before that I went to HJ to return my uniform and to get a work reference.Yeah only the managers like totally hate me for going over to subway now and all of them were too lazy or too busy to write me a work reference.

But haha good thing I can confirm I WON'T go back and work there anymore,it's just NUTS.So boiling hot and crazily busy.And most of all,I don't think Terrance is a very good boss.He wasn't even friendly or anything when he saw me.The rest were so nice:) Asheesh, Jim, Nako, Nikhil, Rachel, Craig and Varun.Lol it was kinda funny seeing their shocked faces.

MR T suck.

OKay goodie, going back to school tmr so I won't be that bored.Maybe I won't skip then.

behh

2007-11-28T20:47:00.000+08:00

Uhhh I'm so bored at school and so bored at home.Only 2 more weeks of school left and yet it's really dragging on.And there's nothing much to do at home.I just walk around,turn on the tv,walk around, go to the computer, look into the pantry and fridge,walk around blabla. Boring.I need to get out.

We went for dinner at Trigg Island Cafe today and it was quite good.Expensive,but mum didn't feel like cooking so yeh.

Oh yea and I made a bowl in woodwork which turned out looking like a dog bowl.Only I don't have a dog.Anyone wanna donate one?
lol

swimsets!!

2007-11-23T18:10:00.000+08:00

Today was really really hot.

We finally had the choice to go swimming in phys ed but no one brought their bathers at all!Only 3 of us girls went and Ms Hosken looked really reluctant and took over the whole what-to-do-in-the-pool thing.

She's a complete bitch.Feeling nasty today.

She made us do swim sets- timed laps up and down up and down with like few seconds rest in between only if you're fast enough and don't slack halfway.It was so shit.I haven't swam all winter and was so exhausted by the end of it.

Instead of a cooling retreat at the pool, it made me feel even hotter.But I guess playing volleyball in the gym would be just as bad...

Anyway,got some exam results back already and I must say I did pretty bad.Well,it's alright for my piano exam.I passed!LALALa moving onto the next grade soon.Maths and Science was quite bad. All in like the 70%+ category..

Uuurgh WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG. Yeah it's disappointing and all but the really COOL thing about it is that I don't have to worry too much cos it DOESN'T MATTER.

I guess I should just start worrying next year if I get bad results.

Oh well~Tomorrow is gonna be another hot day and Maria and I are going to the beach in the morning:D Then we're heading to Ching Ing's house at noon or around there!Yes,haha I wonder what sort of games await us there... House raiding!

YEAHAHA I just realised Biggest Loser is on again,so cya!

Jap Sch Festival

2007-11-18T21:09:00.000+08:00

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Exam week coming up tmr!Have english first and also a piano exam after lunch.It's nerve-wrecking! but I've practised alot so I hope I'll stay cool and not stuff up my pieces in the exam.

And to boost myself up,it seems like whenever I have piano exams mum will take me for lunch at Delish,which is at Floreat Forum.The sandwiches and food are SO yummy down there, can't wait to go!!

Yesterday I went to the Jap Sch Festival but the day started off pretty bad.I was supposed to catch the bus to Maria's house,yeah I got to the bus stop on time but the bus must've been early cos I totally missed it.

Then I tried to call Maria only to find out that my phone credit ran out.UURgh talk about good timing!!So I had to walk back home and borrow my brother's phone.Then walk to an even further bus stop to catch another bus to Observation City to meet Maria and thanks to the traffic light,I had to watch my bus pass by right in front of me!AHHHHHHHHHh.

Wait wait wait and cool down cool down(it's a freaking hot day and I didn't even realise I got burnt until I got home) at the bus stop for 15 mins and by the time I arrived,poor Maria waited for an hour for me!Eep,I'm sorry Maria but thank you.

At the festival,we met up withh Ching Ing and also saw Masumi there!Wow she's changed quite a bit I reckon but it was still great to have seen her again!Been ages,.

Haha the food this year defintitely wasn't as great as last year's but I still managed to get my mochi, sorbet, soba, more free mochi, lollies and a potato pattie thing called karake or sth?:D

Quite a fun day.

first shift at subway!

2007-11-09T19:47:00.000+08:00

Oww Maria...We're both so disappointed that the beach totally sucked today.We went afterschool and it was all nice and sunny until we got onto the beach.It suddenly switched to this bizarre sandstorm where we can't even walk or sit down properly.Worst day on the beach ever,had to go back and walk walk walk :(

Anyway,yesterday was better.Our cupcakes and brownies were advertised to be sold during recess and lunch but haha they were all SOLD OUT in 15 mins of recess!Kai Ying and I were doing the selling and stuff while Ching Ing was trying her best to do crowd control,but it was still crazily bursting with people all over.AND TWICE I caught people trying to steal like a whole tray of brownies away.Luke and Joss I think..But hopefully and luckily I think nothing was stolen:D ALL OUR HARD WORK OF BAKING YOU KNOW.Gonna earn some profit I believe!:)

And then last night I had my first shift at subway.Donny the manager wasn't there and I worked with two other people who were really nice.Subway's ALOT smaller than HJ but that also meant less customers and more slack time!No need for rushing around and doing lots of stuff all the time like in HJ..Maybe it'll get boring eventually but I hope not!

I got to "learn" how to make the subs.No proper training and instructions but I roughly got it.I hope to see Donny tmr to learn how to make the stuff properly.Yesterday I took like 10 whole mins to make 2 footlong subs but luckily the customer was very patient and we just chatted about new jobs while waiting for me:) And uurgh it's definitely not as easy as making burgers.So much vegies on it,I can't imagine ppl who eat footlongs....

Hmm and don't wanna talk about school.All that redox in science and quadratics in maths are driving me nuts already.I believe Yr 9 was the best.

2007-11-07T14:26:00.000+08:00

Omg I can actually post a blog from the school library.HAHAHA.
Right now in S&E and bored to death.
Well after school today Ching Ing and Kaiying and I are gonna be baking like 3 lots of 48 brownies and 36 cupcakes to sell at school tmr for our small business!
MASS BAKING--24 EGGS INVOLVED!!

Yep yep the bell's going to go now.CYa
