Yen-Yen

2009-10-18T16:43:00.009+08:00

I have to admit, I'm not taking it well.
Not at all.

2009-10-05T22:22:00.007+08:00

Does it matter? Even if it does, what does that make me?
A second class person? A disgrace?

Such a disappointment. Never in my life I was thought that way. Not until now.

Hot or cold?
Take your pick.

Karma

2009-09-26T15:15:00.011+08:00

I used to expect many many things from the other person until the other person got tired of everything I did. I have to admit, I was demanding. I was selfish. I always had high hopes on the other other person but i always ended up being disappointed. I learned my lesson well.
Soon enough, the tables turned and currently, someone is always asking a lot from me...much more than I can afford to give.

Now this i what i call karma.

Next Plane Home

2009-09-07T23:05:00.006+08:00

I really want to go back.
Take me home somebody.

Someone once told me that I always blog about emotional stuff. Well, that urge me to write from the beginning when I started on this blog about 2 years ago. At least I have something and somewhere to express myself though I never really did go into the details. Anyway sometimes, just reading my old posts just show me as a hyper emotional and sensitive person. My life seems so pathetic and insignificant compare to the others. Or is it just me who never appreciate what I have?

Have you ever thought of turning back time and trying out another route instead? Maybe, I won't feel that same way like how I did anymore. Just maybe.

Guess what? I'm jealous. Haha.

I miss home.
And i want to thank someone for consoling me today. That was my first time telling a person how I felt about something so simple, so small and yet mattered a lot to me. I think I've shown more negative sides of me more than positive ones to this person.

Fairy Tales

2009-08-24T17:15:00.005+08:00

You know when you were a little kid and you believed that your life would be similar to fairy tale fantasies? We all once believed in fairy tales during our adolescent period. We believed that fairy tales do come true.

Being a princess in a white dress wearing Cinderella's glass slippers searching for her knight in shining armor and to be swept off her feet and to be carried away to his kingdom. There will always be a happy-ever-after at the end of each chapter of that life.

But, as we grow older, our beliefs start to fade. Sooner or later, all of us would wake up from this foolish and childish dream of ours and start to face the real facts of reality.

It's life. What more do u expect from it?

Do fairy tales exist? Or are they just merely a figment of imagination?

There isn't anything I can do about it. Nothing. Whether or not it will happen, it's not my decision, but it's theirs. The least I could do now is to remain quiet until this issue is brought up again and to give my respect to them. No point shedding tears until you feel numb and completely empty. If I were to feel this way, what more to them? I shouldn't be the one complaining about everything. I'm not eligible for it.

Call it quits. Hah.

Buried Deep Into the Ground

2009-07-31T01:15:00.008+08:00

As I shot this photo of the rainbow near my house, it reminded me a lot about the past. The craziest 2 months of experience which I've ever had. Mixture of feelings which had me almost gone insane. There are moments when I felt I deserved it, the sense of belonging was there, and the next minute, all those feelings just disappeared into thin air. It happened everyday, until I felt like giving up on everything. But then, I did actually. I did give up. And what happens now whenever I reminiscence about it?

Just plain regret.
A scar which stays permanent that can never be removed.

It's nothing big, not at all. It's actually something extremely silly. I laughed at myself for being so stupid, for trying to make a big fuss out of it. But I can't help feeling it, can't I? The feeling is exactly the same as how I felt a few years back. I feel angry and embarrassed at myself for letting it take over me again. I was doing pretty good. I am always assuming that I was.

I really need someone to confide to. Even if I did find one, I don't know how am I going to start as there's nothing left to say.

I need time. I need to listen to The Fray. and I need to go somewhere tomorrow.

Ps: If you don't get what my post is about, then you're not the only one because I am just as confused as you are.

Past Tense

2009-07-16T11:05:00.010+08:00

Date: 16th July 2009
I wrote this about 9 months ago, and I decided to post it back.

She was never a real mother, a real grandmother, and a real person to me. After all these years, my mother decided to bring us to our hometown during one of the celebrations back in 2006. Since then, we have been receiving the biggest amount of red packet from her, we have been visiting them once every year and we have started knowing more about my mother's family side.

She was a good cook,
she had her own motorcycle,
she used to call frequently for my mother,
she hated sitting on the wheelchair and using crutches because she didn't like feeling disabled,
she was very bold and wasn't afraid to speak up, and
she was exactly like my mother.

In the year of 2009...
She had a heart attack,
she was brought to the hospital in KL,
she was discharged, and
she was bed ridden.

And finally this morning, after 84 life-filled years,
I received an sms from my mom, and asked me not to reply back.
She did not manage to wake up.

I had three grandmothers. I know all of them are watching over us from above now.
My mom used to say, "What's the point crying over them when they are no longer here but never once shown them that you care when they are still alive?"

I wonder does she still feel the same way.
xxx Rest in peace, Chin Po xxx

Odd?

2009-07-12T21:36:00.010+08:00

Something weird happened while I was taking my shower just now. The bizarre moment lasted only for a few minutes. I wasn't able to focus and somehow, I couldn't manage to pull myself together. I don't know how to put them into words, but the feeling was horrible.

A few days ago, while I was crossing the road to have lunch with my friends, I happened to come across something very unlikely. My unwise action had caused nothing but a delayed schedule for the driver and the journey for the passengers. I still don't know why it happened.

My mom emailed me about the condition of some of our family members. She suggested something that scares out the hell of me.

Great, I'm overacting. This has got to stop.

No big deal

2009-07-12T02:20:00.020+08:00

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Usually I would spend my time in front of the computer the entire night. But ever since I went to the library, I spend my nights on the bed, reading a book which I borrowed instead. The laptop is no longer on the table, but it's now always right beside me. Sometimes when I do my reading, my mind would just wonder somewhere.

The point that I'm trying to make is, I feel like I have the time thinking about my life even more now. Something which I haven't been doing for quite some time. I think I'm going overboard in comparing myself to other people.

I emailed something to my mom. I told her that I'm kinda excited for something which they aren't sure of yet.
I asked them something bout my past too. Lol. They told me once, but I just feel like hearing the reason once again.

Hmmm, it's nothing. I'm just thinking too much again. Or maybe it's just for the sake of writing to clear my mind. I think I would be deleting this post very soon. Just maybe. I don't exactly know what is this post about because everything is seemingly blur to me now.

"Something is always happening somewhere."

It's time to turn in. Nights.

Then and Now

2009-07-07T11:41:00.009+08:00

We weren't close at the beginning although we knew each other since the start of high school, but our friendship became stronger as we reached 15. We started hanging out more often especially after our PMR exam. Things once more changed during form 4 due to the class differences, but all of us managed to pull through in form 5, thanks to drama competition. =)

Genting

Pav's toilet

We may not be able to meet each other and hang out now as often as we used to, or know the exact details of each others' lives, but all I know is, we can and we will make our friendship work...somehow. Promise me that alright? Like you said last time. Stay connected okay? All of us.

Guysssss, writing this post makes me miss all of you even more. Even if I were to go back end of this year, SJ wouldn't be there also. We can never have a complete animals photo for... God knows how many years.

Our first few birthday celebrations together for your birthday as a group.

2007 - Sungei Wang

2008 - Pavilion

2009 - SkyBar. (I wasn't there!!!)

Did all of you notice something? As we grow older, our hang out places seem to be different.

Wing's Cafe

Pav's toilet as usual

Happy birthday my beloved ducKY. I know you're still working at this time even though today is your special day. Hope you will have a great one this year. Don't spend so much time with your hubby only okay? Allocate more time for the rest of the animals as well. :)

When I go back we must camwhore more! Damn hard to find photos of only the two of us alone.

***

KL, in case you're wondering why I never write about you last time for your birthday in my blog but now I'm writing for Lin.

NAH! Here it is...

Somewhere in 2004. You still look the same to me now. Even then you looked so perverted.

Wait till you see this!

Even better! Nar, please don't be pissed off. This is to show that KL, being a perverted person has been proven.

After another 8 years of experience since I first knew you

Heartz all of you.

Our First

2009-07-05T00:20:00.017+08:00

Disclaimer : If you're looking for something cheesy, forget it alright?

Little did I realize, we have reached our first month since the moment we came to a decision to embark on a journey to the chosen path together. A few days before we began, a string of questions had been formed in our minds; particularly mine, mainly doubts whether the decision that we were about to make is right.

Not knowing where the path would lead us to. It could be a never-ending path for the two of us. There could also be two diverged routes in the middle of our journey, or even a roadblock where we could be left stranded. That was before everything. And now, all my questions have been answered.

It all seemed so recent, as if it happened yesterday. I was full of drive, pumped with motivation to join the life of a university student. During the week of our orientation, we were introduced to each other by a few friends. We greeted one another casually without realizing what has been stored in the future ahead of us. We exchanged numbers the same way as everyone did. We had our first sms on the very day because I accidentally called the wrong person. We had our first unusual chat topic on Msn when he added me. We had our first trip together as a group organized by a club. And the list goes on endlessly.

We have come a long way, all these little yet significant details that have happened between us as time passes by create a bond; a history- something which we both share in common. What started on a bright summer day was basically a typical friendship which has evolved to a whole new level of relationship. Never in a million years would one see that coming. Not from me, nor him, nor anyone else.

I have never thought of getting myself involved into a relationship for the coming 3 years. I have always assumed that I would never have the courage to love another person again. Yet just after 4 months of knowing you, I couldn't help myself but to fall for you. I was contemplating over it for the whole time, because I knew that I wasn't good enough for you.

You were extremely patient and understanding when I began telling you how I felt. You never come on to me like how other guys did but you were just being yourself. You will always clear things up and face them if there were any misunderstanding between us instead of denying them. Most importantly, you still care for me the exact same way now like you did when you first, err...court me? Lol. In fact, I think even more. And oh! I love the fact that you are being kind of possessive and selfish (You sure say it's 60:40!! =D).

Happy one month ____ You fill in yourself okay?

Bluek. I purposely don't wanna put your faceee XD

I love you.

Ps: I don't care if it's all words cause I know you're still gonna read this anyway.

Perfect Timing

2009-06-02T10:06:00.000+08:00

Whether or not you are reading this...
I'm just here to say,

I'm sorry.

No matter how many times I say this, I just can't seem to make these feelings all go away.
No matter how hard I try to forget, I can never seem to erase the past.

Tell me, what should I do?

Someday

2009-05-05T05:00:00.000+08:00

I think I am becoming more and more of a loner as the semester goes by. There is something that keeps on bugging me. I don't know what and I don't know why. Lately, I've been isolating myself by hiding in the library alone a lot for no reason. I don't even feel like trying to mix with own friends. There will come a day when I won't have anyone else to be around with if I continue to be like this.

Something is happening to me. But...what is it? .

To make matters worse, I've been skipping hell alot of lectures and tutorials these days for no reason. This is bad...

I'm starting to lose the real person in me and turning into someone I don't even know of.

Cant Take That Away From Me

2009-04-29T06:23:00.000+08:00

Everything was going fine, I knew it was happening but I just didn’t want to make things more complicated than it already was. It was up till that day, that very day… where everything changed. Things will never be the same again, since then. I was expecting myself to come up with an idea on how react to it on a particular day, except that I really had no idea on how to make it out of the ordinary. Questions had been raised, and the response wasn’t exactly what I had expected. It was, somehow…much more meaningful than that. So genuine… so sweet…

It was supposed to become clear to me after everything that had been through, but deep down… I still don’t know the actual answer. Nobody has yet taken away my weakness which I have been trying to overcome over the years before. I’m afraid that I will allow my weakness to wipe out what has been built before. The past are just part of my excuses of what I had turned into, the past are just part of my excuses of trying to deny the truth. I know it doesn’t matter, but it really does concern me, and it still does.

“You will never know if you never try”.

But it’s always easier said than done right? Also, I know I am afraid to accept changes, afraid of what people have to think, and afraid of ruining everything again. There are always questions of what-if in the future that can never be answered by me, or by anyone else.

I am trying, no, I have tried, but without success. It was, by far the most embarrassing and the most foolish thing that I have ever done. And each time I think about that incident really makes me feel like slapping myself hard for being so stupid. I really regretted because I don’t want it to happen because of another accident, again.

Godz, why is it always has to be like this?

Why am I running away as usual?

Will I ever be good enough?

I know you must be thinking, what the heck is Yen-Yen talking about? Hahahaha..
The truth is… I’m not too sure myself. Damn, such an emotional post. So, this is just another one of my crappy posts which nobody, hopefully can understand.

Okay, I think it’s time for me to wake up from my dream and return to reality.

Study Break

2009-04-15T06:10:00.002+08:00

Once again, we exceeded the internet limit. This is just so great. How am I supposed to survive a whole week of break without having to use the internet properly? The only websites which continue to go smoothly are my hotmail and my msn. I can’t even access my university’s blackboard as it should be and I have tons of lectures recordings, tutorial answers, and mock exams to catch up by the end of this week, or at least before my Acct Exam this Saturday.

So, trying to have a productive day on Saturday, I cleaned my room, did my laundry, folded my clothes, and arranged my computer folders after returning from my friend’s house. Whereas on Sunday, I decided to buy groceries, (something which I intended not to at first) and went all the way from my house on a Sunday afternoon to university. Imagine that, who goes to university on a Sunday right? Yeah that’s right. God is trying to prove that as well.

I was rushing to go to university because it usually closes at 6pm and it was close to 1.30 during that time. I got down from the bus. As expected, there weren’t that many people around. I headed to the library and I found out that it was closed for that day! Apa the fuck!!! I was trying to be a good girl okay, and God still have to do this to me?

My life is damn sad you know, I’ve been having bad luck since I arrived to Perth and it is never ending. Only a friend of mine will understand this, because both of us are having the same situation as well and no one can ever understand them as well as we can. Haha, yes… I know you’re smiling, woman.

The thought of going home empty handed just pissed me off. How the *** would I know that they are also closed on the day before Easter? I didn’t know what to do at the beginning. I was walking aimlessly around the university at first, and the next moment, I decided to take the bus to go to my friend’s house. *Sigh*.

For the sake of the internet, I had to trouble a friend of mine. I stayed at his house for quite some time. I seriously need to belanja this person one day, cause I owed this person quite a lot, and it is still accumulating week by week. Haha, little did I realize, I passed some of my luck to this person, making him unable to go online just now and gave him something he feared the most.

Heartz <3

Bloody hell, weeks ahead from now, all the assignments which carry the most marks will be due in the middle of May.

Good Friday!

2009-04-15T06:00:00.000+08:00

It all started when we decided to have home cooked food for dinner among all 5 inexperience Malaysian cooks on a Good Friday. Look, we don’t always play around and have fun all right; we also had our work done as well. We need to have the best of both worlds okay, the balance of playing and studying. So here’s a proof that we really did our assignment.

See? We were doing our Accounts assignment, which is due in the middle of May.

Easter chocolate Eggs, thanks to Lionel… we finally had something that is related to Easter.

What better more to celebrate the day with all the Malaysians?

Maggie Mee, curry flavor. Henri’s dad packed a BOX of Maggie mee from Malaysia to Perth so that his son wouldn’t die of hunger. Godz, the noodles tasted so so good.

It keeps reminding me of how much I miss Malaysian food. =T

Our lunch went along with Russell Peter’s show using the laptop, an all time favourite comedian during college.

After lunch, we continued our assignment, until dinner time. =) See? It’s only a start of the holidays and we are on the track of finishing them. Though we couldn’t figure out why isn’t it balance. *Sigh* The biggest mistake was, I accidently wrote an extra figure 0 in our work, making our total trial balance of a $50, 000 difference.

And then it was time…

…to start cooking. Each of us prepared a dish and we were supposed to pose for our signature dish.

From vegetables, to meat, to…. Sausages. Sweat.

Sausages with chopped onions and garlic, with freshly squeezed lemon.

Preparing their family’s recipe of salad dressing.

The final touch. Olive oil, salt, vinegar (I think), garlic and bunch of others.

Posers, especially the one sitting down.

Helping out to wash the salad

But his main one is the ‘pure’ rice. He had a whole sack and a pail of it which can feed the whole army for a year.

She with her Balls as usual.

She insisted on decorating them for presentation. =P

Hmmm.. her aunt cooked this.

It’s not how you think it is. I don’t cook that way! It’s cause the pork was still hard and I was trying to cut it into smaller pieces

I have natural talent la. It turned out to be quite nice okay. My beloved fresh mushrooms and minced pork with soy sauce.

Our masterpiece

Group photo, the Malaysian Gang, 4 Taylorians, a Sunway-an.

Washing up after the dinner.

***

That’s not the end.

All right folks, we move on…

We were really keen on lying on the grass to watch the stars and to chill out. So, we decided to go to Kings Park. We took a bus…

Climbed the stairs.

Reached the start of Kings Park, looking at the city of lights.

It was pretty cool, to have nothing to worry about…but to lie down on the cool grass, relaxing while watching the moon and ahem, counting the stars… I really wish we could do that more often. You will never find something like this in Malaysia.. =D

What a waste, Henri never bring his phone. He brought everything, the keys, even the torchlight…but his handphone..

After a few hours, we headed back to his house. We went down the stairs while singing nursery rhymes. Lol, It was hilarious. We sang Twinkle Star, Baa Baa black sheep, Little Red Indians, Happy Family etc. The neighbours were looking out of the windows when we passed by Lionel’s apartment cause we were making too much noise.

On a side note, We missed the last bus, which was at 9 something, so we walked all the way from Lionel’s house to Henri’s house, passing Mounts Bay Road, UWA and lastly, Henri’s house. It took us about 1 hour 45mins overall non-stop to reach his place. It was a really great experience and the best part is, I wasn’t sweating at all!

A cup of Milo and Toast bread with kaya and butter for supper. *Heartz*

I miss Old Town’s toast bread. =(

At 1 something, we watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in his room. We were all soon asleep due to tiredness even before half the movie. Though I was really tired, I couldn’t really sleep that night…again. I don’t get it..

The next morning, we watched another show of Russell Peters and A Walk to Remember. I love this movie so much. =D I cried the first time I watched this… and I don’t usually cry okay. So, it proves that it’s a really touching movie.

Domino’s for lunch.

Mambo Night

2009-04-15T05:14:00.000+08:00

This event is supposed to be updated quite some time ago, but I didn’t manage to get the entire photos from my friend. Oh well, I can’t wait any longer cause I’m starting to lose the enthusiasm of writing about this already. I won’t be updating that many photos cause I’m too lazy to do it. Check out my facebook if you’re interested.

Mambo Night, a weekly club event in Singapore where they play songs from the 50’s to the 80’s, such as Like a Virgin, Mickey Mouse song, and the main one. YMCA. =D=D=D Of course, we have also Right Round, Just Dance, Dangerous, Low, etc. I was surprised that they never even touch a song of Britney Spears.

Few hours before Mambo Night, my friend and I went to Harbour Town to look both of our stuff. She wanted pumps while I wanted purse. I had more than what I have asked for whereas she couldn’t find the suitable one. After shopping, both of us headed home, and came out again to meet up for dinner.

Dinner before the event

Malaysians Vs Singaporeans. As always. It’s not like we planned it, it just happened.

Main Entrance

The Crowd

The Stage

The people

The girls

4 plus 1

Mk and I.

It was another great event among my friends and I, and it is certainly a night to remember, besides the point that we were one of the earliest to reach the club. =) An experience without even a tinge feeling of drowsiness or drunkenness as each of us only had a pint and 2 very mild shots. The clubs in Malaysia really cannot compare to this club okay, cause this club is so huge and 10 times better than the one in Malaysia. I can’t wait for our next clubbing after our exam~

We danced till the very last minute, which was sharp 3am, where the bouncers kicked us out of the club. Instead of taking a cab to a friend’s house to stay over, we walked… >.<

Those Were The Days

2009-04-08T11:00:00.000+08:00

As written in the title above, I had some pretty bad experience involving certain people last year. Not to say it was a bad experience, but at the age of 19, I must say I was kind of naive and not to forget, gullible. I trust people easily, and I soon learned not to trust people completely anymore. My colleagues were saying I was childish and I giggle a lot. Lol, that I can't really deny because I will contradict with the fact. Anyway, here is how it goes, it began when I started...

Okay wtf, I don't feel like writing out my stories here, but i don't feel like deleting what I have written either.

What I can say is, we used to share something in common which no one else does. Conversation between the two of us and items that are given privately. Damn, I don't know how to put it in words. All in all, the past is haunting me again and the more I think about it, the more I find my past really distracting. It's happening again, but some of the parts has being modified. It's... creepy. Godz, what's with me man? Ever since I came here, I am living more in the past rather than the present.

I'm getting crazy and I need a psychiatrist. I don't even know what is this whole post about.

***

Holidays, here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeee =D

I can't wait for my one week break which is starting soon, this Friday till the next Sunday! Well we can't really consider it as a holiday because we're suppose to be studying for our coming mid exams, and one of our papers is on Saturday, but who cares? We're here to enjoy first, and studies come later! Let me off the hook, man. Plans, plans.. coming soon among my friends and I. My idea of buying bunny chocolates had been rejected by 2 of my friends. Oh wait, was it her idea? I kinda forgot. Sorry woman, if I took your idea.

T________T

Mom is so gonna kill me if she reads this, which I know she doesn't. I'm becoming more lazy day by day as the semester goes on. I attended all lectures and tutorials on the first month, and I skipped uncountable lectures on the second month. Wtf, I can't even count how many times I have skipped with my fingers. This is bad, I need someone to control me. I need some motivations to study! Help~~~ !!

The reason I'm blogging this today is because I just feel like doing something other than watching Heroes and studying (wtf) and some other 'stuffs'. Nah, wrong! The real reason is because I finished most of my tutorial questions, and one bloody exam already. That's why now I'm in the mood, compare to the last few days which was extremely stressing.

***

People, don't ever underestimate these birds. You may find them cute and small, but never... ever... mess with them. They're not just animals, they are monstrous!!! I'm not talking about bird shit, even though I had experienced it when I was in standard 2 and it happened just before the school assembly started. Wtf wey.
No no, it's way away from that boundary. Birds, I hate them. It's cause I had been attacked. Wtf wey, the whole thing was damn embarrassing cause we were in university, sitting on the grass while eating our lunch... and and... I'm not gonna say anymore. Haha, damn potong stim right?

Sometimes

2009-04-05T08:15:00.000+08:00

There are lots of things I want to blog about, but I don't have a faintest idea on where to start.

Sometimes I have the urge to write about the people around me, but I cant because I know some of them are reading this. The fear of rumors being spread around wouldn't be something I have in mind.

Sometimes I have the urge to expose my feelings that I have kept it hidden, but I can't because I don't want to gain sympathy from people. Making myself vulnerable and letting my guards down is a big no to me.

Sometimes I feel like complaining about everything, and asking Him for a reason, but I can't because life isn't always fair and we wouldn't always get hold of what we desire.

***

I don't know what has gotten into me. I've been keeping myself busy to try to not think too much. Listening to what my friends have said last night when we were hanging out at a friend's place about missing home and wishing to go back just brought more questions,
more reasons and more pressure to not looking forward to go back. It's silly, kinda think of it.

Is This a Joke?

2009-03-30T07:45:00.000+08:00

I'm doing quite badly in university. My assignments are quite okay and I'm definitely glad with the marks I received recently. But definitely not for both my ITS and Stats tests. I'm not failing, but my results are shockingly surprising cause I think it's much below the average standard. If this continues, I know I will never be able to graduate. It's that serious. You won't want to know my marks.

This is seriously no joke man. I don't know what have I gotten myself into. One of them is MCW meeting which I thought it's gonna be quite fun. Yeah, I had fun on my first meeting but it's gonna be stressful cause my department are expecting us to come up with ideas and project them for the event in October.

My sister and my friend were saying that I have to bring all my dramas and tv series because I will need them. I'm not so sure about them because I don't really have the time to watch.
However, some series are exceptional, for example:
1. American Idol
2. Desperate Housewives
3. Gossip Girl
4. The Apprentice

P.S : I'm trying to get One Tree Hill, House, Dexter and Heroes!!!

P.S : I have forgotten about Pak Lah stepping down till my friend told me. I don't know anything about the world now. Damn.

Quickie

Just a brief post of the places that I have been with my friends on some of the weekends. See, told you that Perth is not as boring as how people describe. I love Perth, though the city does not have those high rise buildings in Melbourne and all, but my friends and I create our own fun. And to tell u the truth, my life now is more happening compare to last time.

Cottosloe Beach

The people

We didn't really manage to take that many photos. Maybe cause we went to Rottnest beach last week so it wasn't as fun as the first time. I did enjoy myself a lot but the water was freaking cold!! And I was shivering all over.

You know Malaysians love hanging out at mamak stalls at night and drink teh tarik? Well, the locals here hang out at cafes to have a cup of coffee and to smoke while the Asians hang out at bubble tea shops during the night. 1 plastic glass of bubble tea costs about $3.50! Sobz! Each time I eat out, I will spend about RM10 to Rm20. Crazy? Yes. Extremely.

Back to the topic, after eating dinner with them at ChinaTown, we hung out and Tea Fusion to chill till 9 plus. It's consider really late for us cause all of us take different buses, and the buses come every 30 mins to 1 hour after reaching a certain period. So, we can't really go back that late. Anyway, we were talking and all a sudden came across a topic about our childhood cartoons ranging from Disney Beauty and the Beast and Sailormoon to Pokemon and DragonBall. All these reminiscences make me miss my childhood life alot when we have nothing to worry about. It was fun, talking about them.

***

The next Saturday, we went to Kings Park to have picnic! Each of us had to bring something for everyone to share the love. Haha, that was my first time trying to cook them therefore I was actually experimenting my cooking skills to the volunteers. There are many many photos to upload but I'm kinda lazy, so I'm gonna just highlight certain important ones okay?

I met up with the guys first in the city to accompany them to buy their stuffs for the day. Like lar I so nice right? The real reason was, I wanna check out the phones, thats all. =D Planning to get one soon. An old model, but not very old, not very expensive, not very cheap either but still a newer model than the one I'm using now. Lol, whatever crap am I talking.

The distance between the city and Kings Park.

The same people, once more.

YuJia: Utensils, table clothe
Annette: Cheese Cake (Superb! ~ Same standard as Secret Recipe) Godz, I miss cheese cakes.
Herrick: Grapes, Dips, junk food and biscuits
Chin: Bread loaves, strawberry jam, peanut butter (Spread the love, man)
Henri: Drinkssssssssssss
Emkay: FishBalls
Jason: Ham
Me: Sausages (Damn Lionel...Mk, tolong saya... I'm innocent)

We saw someone getting married. It was my first time seeing an outdoor wedding.

Malaysians unite

Circle of love. Lol.

Yay, I finished all of my assignments and tests for this week! Now, all I need to do for this weekend is:
1. Desperately need to clean my room cause it's really a mess since Mambo Night.
2. Buy groceries <3
3. Wash my bedsheet for the first time.
4. Listen back to my lecture recordings. I skippeed 3 lectures for 2 tests.
5. Finish tutorial hw by Monday in case my tutor ask me to answer in front of the class. T_T

Taking Back

2009-03-29T12:16:00.000+08:00

I take back my words I have written in my previous post. I don't hate the 2 bitches anymore. In fact, I kinda like talking to them and they seem pretty normal these days. We even had a few real conversation few days before. It was... weird, but nice in a way.

***

On the other hand, I'm in the midst of blogging while Earth Hour 2009 is on. I'm doing everything there is to vote for Earth and going against global warming by switching off all the lights in my house wey. Isn't it weird to be doing something like this with the rest of the world though nobody is going to acknowledge our good deed? Perth couldn't be bothered to do such thing cause even the road lights are switched on outside my house. My laptop has only 65% remaining battery and lights are going to be switched on in 15 minutes time. =D Okay lar, I'm consider cheating for using the battery but at least I'm doing it right? So guys, stand up and do the right thing for the future of our planet!

***

From tomorrow onwards, WA will be turning back clocks 1 hour due to daylight savings. It will mean that the time in WA will be the same as Malaysia all over again. Also, it means that we have an hour extra compare to the rest of the people! Damn cool right?

FOS

2009-03-23T06:17:00.000+09:00

I have never felt so impatient towards someone in such a short period of time.

I almost wanted to give that bitch a tight slap right across her face. STFU man. You are the one asking for my help, well.. sort of ordering for me to do it for you and you're treating me like this?

Who the hell who doesn't know how to send an email to another person? It's not like she's old or something for God's sake. She's only 21. Hello, don't you know how to use a simple program like that?

Not only she ordered me to change the 2 different file types cause the her friend of hers wanted 2 types, she asked me to send 3 other assignments for her. And then, she took my phone from my room so that she can bloody hell call her friend.

Can't she tell that I was about to explode right in front of her?

The first time was worse, she ordered me to accompany her all the way to the petrol station so that she can buy her groceries, then she ordered me to carry up the vacuum cleaner up to the attic by the ladder so she can vacuum the floor. Next, she ordered me to help her to install webcam.

Okay, I'm fine with that bitch asking me for help, but to leave the toilet bowl without flushing with her urine and tissue paper in it, I can't take it okay.

EM, DBD please Biatch. IDFC whether her friend receives the file or not. But the BFH insisted that I go through with her on the files that I had just sent. I was about to LMAO and ask her to KMA or SMB because IMO, YOYO okay.

I know that SH, but this....? GMAB please.

Now I know the reason why she said she is unhappy during her university. She said her friend was spreading rumors about her behind all her other friends.

PS. Special thanks to my sister for her IM. I can use it freely without anyone understanding what am I writing.

Godz, I now seriously hate 2 people over here.

Summer Trip

2009-03-23T04:20:00.000+09:00

Finally, I can online without worrying about the speed limit. For now.

I will only be blogging once a week, twice if I have the time during weekends. So, look out for the life that I have been going through. Life has been quite fun and pretty hectic. For next week, I have 2 assignments to hand up, 2 exams, 4 tutorial questions to do before tutorial classes, MCW meeting to attend to and Mambo Night on Friday. Sigh, I'm still here blogging when I haven't even started a thing.

Ever since the bond of our friendship became stronger, we have decided on this. Hanging out together as a group every once a week. Either on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We have been going to places trice for 3 consecutive weeks now and these outings will not stop until our mid exams draw closer, which practically a month from today. I was supposed to blog about my first trip last week, but things caught up and I hadn't had the time to do it, so I'm taking the opportunity to write about it now.

The night before the trip, we hung out at a friend's place cause she was having some sort of open house. We had the usual party food; pizza, soft drinks, junk food and cookies. We played Taboo. Speaking of Taboo, though I had played with my college friends during Camerons, it's still the first time I have ever participated for real wey! I usually don't like playing games, or rather be in charge for it. But, this time.. I managed to make them guess, and to think of words to say in 60 seconds.
Also, we watched 2 movies. House Bunny and I am Sam. I am Sam is really heart warming, the sacrifices of a down syndrome father for her daughter can really touch your heart. Oh oh, Dakota Fanning acted in that movie!!

The girls stayed overnight at her house while the guys went back about 9 plus.
Emkay and I slept in the living room and she was ranting all about counting the stars and sleeping under the moonlight. =P Haha, I know you will be reading this.

Rottnest Island

It was a trip organized by ISS and my gang, consisted of 8 people out of 33 of them is the largest so far. We immediately owned the entire trip right from the beginning. It was the most exciting trip ever made for this year! The last time I've ever been to such and island was with my college friends, Pulau Perhentian last year.

Left Back Row: Chin, Henri, ignore the bald guy in our group trip, Herrick, Jason Left Back Row: Annette, Emkay, Me, YuJia

ISS committee

The ferry to the island

Damn nice shot by the PRO me.

Us with one of the ISS's committee

As stated, welcome to Rottnest Island

Two emo girls

Guess who?

Us of course!

Ready, 1..2..3..

Jump!!!!

Huge anchor

While them having some talk about the trip, we were busy taking photos.

And I couldn't resist. Me, monkey ganas. =D

While the person giving a tour around the island.. we took a photo.

Red Rooster for lunch, under the trees. Guess what? I kenaaaaaaa bird shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!!! Bird shit. Eeewwwww! 2nd time in my whole life!!!

After lunch, the group is divided into two. Some of us went cycling and the others went for a bus tour to see the quokkas. Quoakkas are rats. This island is originally named as Rattnest Island but they renamed it after some time to Rottnest. Oh woah, I listened during the tour talk.
What better more to cycle around the island than to see the rats right?

I love this shot. I took them while I was cycling okay.

Stopping for a while to take photo of the scenery. The road was really bumpy and sometimes we had to go up the hills and down.

Group photo

First stop, first beach. My gang is the only people who went all the way down to here just to take photos.

Second stop, second beach

Told you we owned the trip right? We were the only ones who went down... and...

you really wanna know????

Our signature jump shot.

YuJia taking for us when the waves splashed on us.

We took our bloody time in the beach while the rest of the group had to wait for us. I'm sure some of the people were frustrated with us cause we were in the beach for a realllyyyy long time.

Surrounded by cockles

Third stop. We were too tired to go down.. so all we did was...

Another group photo

Luckily my group are the ones who love to take photos.

The best lane to cycle cause it was really rocky and bumpy. Cool right to cycle and to enjoy the scenery at the same time.

A photo while cycling. I am so pro.

Our finishing stop, the lighthouse.

After more than 3 hours cycling, we took the ferry back to Fremantle to head home to university. Wrong. We didn't head back right away, instead we stopped by at Fremantle to have Fish and Chips for dinner.

Sweetlips. Another famous Fish and Chips shop.

I tried raw oysters and I vowed to myself not to try ever again.

Seafood Tray

Last group photo after the sunset.

Taken by the pro me, of course.

The best trip ever, but not the last. Look out for my next post!

Taboo words for my gang: Handphone, camera, water, and beach. Thanks to Henri. Like what Chin said, no more adding salt on the wound. =)

Mom says Perth is Boring with a Capital B

2009-03-14T06:25:00.000+09:00

Nah, this post has nothing to do with that.

Currently I'm blogging in my university library instead of joining my friends for lunch at Matilda Bay. I do want to join them but my housemates and I exceeded our internet usage limit by a week so I have to wait till the 22nd to finally have the connection to turnover.

I need the internet.

How am I going to survive without one for another 2 Sundays?

These days I've been staying back and going to the library to complete the assignments and tutorial questions which due every week. Not to say that the workload for my university is much worse than when I was doing foundation year, but the homework that are given is completely different all together. I used to have exams weekly, but now we have tutorial questions and lab assignments to hand up each time.

My aim when I reached here is to be more hardworking, seeing the result that I had obtained last year. Why am I still procastinating though? Why can't I cope with my work even though it's just only a month? I'm scared. Seriously. I'm freaking terrified.

I don't know how to do my second assignment questions for Business Stats. Note that, it's second assignment okay! The tutorial class doesn't help since I don't even have the clue of what the tutor is talking about. All I have to do is to copy what he wrote in the board, that also if I can read them. I'm in deep shit and it's about to due soon.

Being bad at Stats is not the biggest problem. I have experienced worse. My heart was thumping like mad when I had my first Economics tutorial class. The tutor randomly picks out a name from the list and asks us to answer the question. Fuck. He hadn't call my name yet, fortunately but I know luck will not be on my side soon enough. I know I can't speak in front of the class, but to face the locals... the feeling is even worse. I feel so intimidated being with them. They can explain everything in super long sentences and apply other factors into the question as well. Besides that, I have only two other Asians in my class. 2 Asians who are living in Australia for a few years. Oh man, I am so gonna lose 5% of my participation marks.

Well, that it about my studies.

***

Just so you know, my mom always email me and my eldest sister to update about her life and vice versa. I receive mails from her practically everyday. Then there is one particular mail which I would like to point out on. Something which I can't tell her.

She loves to compare her childrens' result with our cousins'. Uuks and Kor, I know you are reading this, but I really feel like expressing them out. How can she compare my sister's result with our malay wtf cousin who doesn't study at all? It's really unfair okay. Seeing the difference of his result and my sister's result really gets into me. I'm being racist, I know but I don't give a damn about it.

Sometimes, the words she uses, such as.. our family lost to my uncle's malay family really hurts. She always says that their family don't need to pay a single cent on their wtf malay education cause they have scholarship whereas our family have to foot out everything for our education. It's true, I never deny... but how can she compare? Even during NS, I was shocked to hear that a malay girl who obtained 4As had scholarship!

On a side note, my mom is encouraging me to hook up with a friend of mine after I'd introduced him to my family during orientation. Hahahaha. She said she feel bad for encouraging me to look for a bf like him than to study. Hahahaha.

I totally in favor with her on Yoong's case. Hopefully she'll do something about this.

Also, she said that even after the operation she had last time, her cervical still bleeds from time to time. I think I am more scared for her than she being scared herself. My mom is so tough at times, but she said she is afraid that sometimes the test result might not be accurate.

***

My first home cooked meal. Fried eggs with mushrooms, 4 pieces of toast bread with ham and cheese for dinner.

Great right?

You've gotta be kidding me.

My housemate basically helped me in everything. Ey but at least I cut the mushrooms and stirred the eggs with a fork okay.

This is more like it.

Super salty sunny side up and raw cucumbers. I added too much salt in my egg then I decided to push it to the cucumbers. Disgusting. Yucks.

Oh, and btw.. my housemate cook the rice. Not me.

I bought this at Ikea. Lol, for the sake of spending something else besides on food. They're so cute cause the we can put the frame on the art stand.

I carried these books from a bookshop near my uni to the city and to the city to my house. It was super heavy okay! Bad experience. So many people were looking and I even had a hard time trying to tag my card on the bus.

Oh btw, this is my house. I forgot to upload this photo in the previous post.

P:s. Starting from this week onwards, it will be all work and no play. Tutorial classes started last week and there are assignments to be handed up tomorrow. I have mini exam for ITS on Tuesday which contributes 10% to my final marks.

I hate my Lab Tutor. He really doesn't have a clue about anything! We couldn't even log in as our username to access the computer. Wtf. He made us logged in as guest and it logged off every 10mins for like more than 20mins. And guess what, out of all the students there, I discovered the cause for it. =)=)=) I told him the reason and so he told the rest. Haha. Super proud of myself.

Anyway, don't think I'll be blogging for quite some time now. See you guys!
Look out for the next post. =) Had a blast with my friends yesterday.

I'm No Christian!

2009-03-09T04:37:00.000+09:00

I wanted to wait for my friends to pass the photos that he had taken on that day but I don't think I can wait any longer.

Written on 1st Mar - Last Sunday

Today is only the day I never leave my house out of the three weeks and my housemates were already questioning me. I was planning to do my laundry today but the weather forbid me from doing it after 3 weeks. Lol. They wanted to go out to have dinner together but I heard one of my housemates said, "Help me cook lar". I think one of the reasons was because I still had not had my dinner yet. Or maybe, due to the bitch for not being able to make it.

So once again, they do the cooking, I do the dishes. =) I better start buying groceries soon or not I will forever never learn how to cook.

***

Most of my friends don't have lectures or tutorials on Friday but I do because I have a fixed lecture for one of my units, Information Technology and Systems ( Why am I doing this unit again *sigh*). So after my lecture, we went to the city to meet up a few of my friends. We spent quite some time at Taka Japanese Restaurant. That place is rather cheap compare to other places which cost about AUD9. Their small is only AUD5.30. Not bad right? And their food is quite good. I ate there like more than 5 times already.

After eating, we went to Harbour Town, a factory outlet shopping complex. The guys and girls split up to do our own shopping. By the time we finished everything, I was extremely wiped out but I promised a girl that I would be meeting her at 7pm for an event called 'Welcome Night' hosted by OCF. (Oversea Christian Fellowship). I know you must be thinking, why the heck am I going for this? Yeah, I don't know the answer myself but I just feel like going there to have fun, meet new people and try out something new.

My group lost like mad. It's always like this. Whichever group I join surely will lose. I'm telling you, I spread bad luck okay.

They chose me as their first player, and wtf, I got it right! Yay, I feel so proud!

Them, the green team.

The game went like this. Each player from each team would be placed behind the blanket. And when they let go of the blanket, we were supposed to guess the person's name in front of you. Whoever loses has to go to the opponent team until the team with the most members win.

After the game, we went to a Lecture Hall

***

The next morning, we had OCF Amazing Race. =) We went around the university by foot and after lunch we had to take the bus to the city to finish off the last few checkpoints.

My group, called 'Superheroes'.

OCF Amazing Race 2009 group photo at National Art Museum.

Introducing UWA

2009-03-01T20:42:00.000+09:00

The main entrance of UWA has this old, ancient Harry Potter kind of feeling, or so they say. The whole area is extremely huge and one can get lost trying to find his or her own faculty without having the map of the university. Well, me for instance. I can even get lost from my high school to Popular at Petaling Street lar. What more this university. It takes about 17 minutes to walk from the entrance where my bus stops to my faculty, which is located exactly on the southern side. Thank God I have different lectures in different faculty each time. Then at least I can learn better to recognize the area.

Our signature Clock Tower. I was a little embarrassed to take a photo of this building cause I took it when lots of students were passing by. I didn't really want to look like a tourist or someone jakun who has never see before such building. Then again, I saw most of my friend's camera phone has this photo too, so I guess I'm not that bad after all

My family and Liz, my second year senior during O-Day

I hate the date at the bottom right. I always get rid of it there but dad will always adjust it back. For me, it destroys the photo. Don't you think? Even if you don't agree with me, just say you do

They have this really old and weird name like Winthrop Hall, Alexander, Tattersall, Octagon, and Wilsmore Lecture Theater, and wtf, Hawaian Tutorial Room too

Winthrop Hall, the place where I had my first international orientation

Mom loves this tree a lot

My faculty, Business School. Wish I can buy a bike and cycle to university. I would, if I could but it will be too far to do that from my house

Mom and dad joined the commencement ceremony as well. Damn cool, it was held in this temporary outdoor stage.

Nah, it wasn't specially built for us but cause my uni is one of the organization involved in Perth Art Films Festival where they hold blockbuster movies from all over the world

O-Day is the day where all clubs and societies set up their stalls and promote them to all the freshies at James Oval. In fact, it was the best orientation I have ever attended. I was glad that I joined my family instead of my friends because I always know that I can go to whichever club booths I want to and spend as much time taking free fliers and drinks. Though, I did feel a little left out for not being able to go with them but I am okay with it till I saw their photo in Fremantle. Enough said. Like my mom always said, family time, quality time. Sounds so weird when my mom wrote that to me and Yiings.

Oh btw, the guy in blue was actually posing while I took the photo. =)

Don't ask me what club is this. I can't remember. They are many weird club names such as Sausage and Buns Society, Sober?, Psychos... and and Muslim Society!!!

Karate kids showing off their skills for their club

Some dumb activities which only the locals joined. They were really crazy and so different than the Asians

Mahjong Club. See, the locals were trying to beat the Chinese in the game.

I had a lot of fun that day though it was burning like mad. I think it was close to 40 degrees and suddenly out of nowhere, we saw two bottles of sun block bottles on the table where everyone can just use them. Cool right?

I joined this:
1. ASIA (Asian Students In Australia)
2. ECCOMS ( Economics and Commerce Society)
3. MSU (Malaysian Student Union)

I told Liz about this and she told me that all the clubs I joined are mostly Asians and I figured it's kinda true. I never even realized earlier.

***

My room in Victoria Park before I moved in. I have no regrets choosing this room over the so called high class apartment over Mount Bay Road. The house is about 30mins away from the university and I have to take two buses there but it isn't as troublesome as how my parents thought it would be. In fact, the buses come every few minutes. I used to check the bus timetable before I go anywhere but now I dont. The room costs about AUD130 a week including charges. The only utility I have to pay is the broadband which doesn't costs much. One of the reasons I have chosen this room was because of the study table. Long and wide enough.

After my family went back to Malaysia, I started cleaning up the room, moping the floor once again, arranging my stuffs and decorating my room.

My bed with the stuff toys

Nice right?

I can only stick all these calenders and posters here. Mom scolded me for doing such a thing at a rented room.

Lin, familiar?

The place where I do my homework. Not yet anyway.

And once, just ONCE, I felt like camwhoring before I went to uni. No comment on photos below.

I have 5 other housemates, 4 from Hong Kong and a girl from Mauritius. Some are really super nice, but not all. I hate that bitch. Seriously, I hate her ever since I saw the toilet which she has been using. Dirty like nobody business okay. Her makeup kit was there and her bloody clothes on the bath tub. Disgusting. I don't really get to see her compare to the rest of my other housemates and I did try to talk to her first but she couldn't be bothered. So am I.

All 4 Hongkees were staying there for quite some time so they are considered kind of close. They don't close their room doors. I do close mine but sometimes I don't. Everyday, there will be a knock on the door, or if the door is open.. they will just barge in and start attacking on my notes and things or they will just start talking. Oh man. I want to have my own privacy at times but I guess them being friendly are much better off than the bitch.

I don't always see the Mauritius Girl. But when she first moved in, she knocked on my door, asked me to accompany her to the petrol station to buy her groceries. I would have volunteered but she had already asked, more of ordered me to follow. Yeah, so she is a little bossy for a 21 year old. She did thank me in the end and made me tea. Haha.

Vegetarian Bak Kut Teh with my fellow housemates, excluding that bitch

Cream of mushroom. He made himself okay and added white wine in it as well. Just cause I said my bread was about to expire and I had not even finished half a loaf yet.

***

You know, people are expecting me to be friends with the locals or to bring back an ang moh boyfriend but I don't seem to find them possible. The locals don't even bother about us Asians and most of us do stick back to our own kind. For me, I am now with Malaysians and Singaporeans. Malaysians as in all Taylorians. Oh man, saddening. I have only found one Sunway girl who took Ausmat. Damn. Where are all the Sunway students?

Eventhough I have made some friends, they are still not the same friends like I have made back at home. I know it takes time to adapt to new people, new surroundings, new place and everything but a lot of them seem satisfied. I am settling down but somehow, I felt something is still missing. I have always been known as the type who doesn't talk much when I am not comfortable or feeling awkward with another person. They know I think a lot on how to interact with others in future. I tried overcoming it and I am still trying. It never works though. Even during OCF meeting, I messed up again.

I don't want to think so much at this time, or not I would get all emotional and weep and get all moody and if I get moody I will be even more quiet than before and end up being depressed.

See how it all connects?

Emotional --> Cry --> Moody --> Quieter than ever --> Depressed

So, I am trying to be a happy go lucky person. =)

Mun Kit and I at Matilda Bay while waiting for our next lecture. My hair looks fugly in there cause I was soaking wet when I arrived to the Ref to meet my friends. Long story short, I was stupid enough to do something for someone.

Nar, this is something I wanted to show you for a long time. Haha! Thanks to him for going all the trouble for the monkey. He is super big lor and look at his tummy! Fatter than the one Sash gave me right? =) Hope you're doing a good job taking care of my monkey.

***

Omg, I feel a little lost in my studies now. I cant seem to absorb whatever the lecturers say. I think my brain got a little rusty for not studying for so long, or... the lecturers go really fast. For instance, they never really explain in detail. For those who haven't taken up accounting or economics, it will be really hard for them to cope because even though I have learned all those things, I still find it hard.

During foundation year, my lecturer always emphazie on something like scarcity but this lecturer, explained once and thats it. Or maybe it is just me. Nah, I don't know.Luckily we have this system where all lectures are recorded and we can view them as many times as we want. I have been using them for quite some time now.

I guess that's it for tonight. It's already past 3.30am and I'm feeling a little tired after having Amazing Race. My friends, unexpectedly are online now.

The Other Side of Perth

2009-03-01T15:24:00.000+09:00

Swan Valley, Caversham Wild Life Park and Margaret River Chocolate Factory.

I won't be writing much today. This will be a post of photos, photos and just photos. =) Watch till you get bored. Last time, friends used to complain that I write too much. Words and no photos. I didn't even add a single photo. Now I have changed. Whenever I start uploading photos, I will never have the enthusiasm to write cause it also takes quite some time just to upload.

Purple Grapes

The largest Winery in Swan Valley

The stupid me thought it was blueberries at the beginning until someone told me it wasn't. It's actually grapes. How much more stupid can I get?

I love this photo! Mom and dad look so nice here

As stated above

Free Chocolate Tasting

Cheeeeseeeeeeeeee

Fat and hideous star of the day. The wombat.

Gents?

Ladies?

What the hell? Even for the disabled

You think this wallaby is cute?

Looks so cute here right?

See how the wallaby looks when he/she in coma.

I hate them. Really lazy animals. Sleep till can spread him/her legs some more. It's like inviting someone to do it on them. @.@

"Dude, what are you looking at", asked Skippy

A dog in charge of keeping the sheeps in order

Dragging the poor little unlucky sheep

Shearing the sheep

Fleece all over

Feeding the lambs with bottles of milk

With the sheep which got sheared. The ugly duckling in that group.

Life In Perth

2009-02-27T04:59:00.000+09:00

I guess you have been wondering what had happened to me since I headed down to Perth. For a start, I was really busy sorting out my life, looking for a permanent accommodation, joining the orientation which was held for about 1 1/2 weeks, borrowing my cousin's car to drive around the city, cleaning up my room, and lastly attending my first week of lectures.

These are a few photos of me and my friends who came to the airport to send me off. I think there isn't any point of writing about something more than 2 weeks ago so I just upload the main ones okay?

This is how Perth Airport looks like from the entrance. It looks totally different than Melbourne's though. I went for the airport pickup which was provided by the uni and I was the first to arrive, which was about 6.30 local time. While my parents went off with my cousin to the hotel, I sat on one of the benches, waiting for the rest of the first years students.

Therefore I couldn't resist taking photo of the inside as well since I had nothing to do. My parents and my friends had been telling me to always make the first move to talk to the students but not only I sat alone in the van without a person to talk to, I couldn't opened the door when I wanted to go out. So embarrassing cause it happened right in front of all the people. What a way to start everything new.

***

I was brain washed before I came here and my first impression of Perth when I took the van to CBD was shocking. Perth is so like a rural area, only that there are no sheep or cows everywhere apparently like how he used to tell me.

Some of my friends were telling me that Perth is a really boring place and besides studying, there is no other thing that you can do. I believed them at the beginning. But sooner or later I found out that there is more to Perth than how the rest have thought. Sure, Perth cannot be compared to Melbourne or Sydney cause Perth is like a totally different city altogether. However, Perth does have its own specialties and it ain't in a bad way.

So this is how the city looks like. Though it may mean nothing to some of you, but I love Perth, and I mean it.

One of the many places we went.

Lake Monger. It's a lake where all the swans 'hang out'.

The lake is owned by swans, ducks, pelicans and seagulls.

Cute lil ducklings

Matilda Bay. This bay is just next to my university and it's only a few minutes walk from my campus to the bay. I'll post more photos of my university in the next post.

Mom loves their Fish and Chips so much that we decided to go all the way to Fremantle again at night for dinner.

Love their Chilli Mussels. I don't eat mussels okay, so if I say it's good, means it is good. Unless you don't trust my sense of taste.

Countdown : Less Than 8 Hours

2009-02-09T09:36:00.000+09:00

This the proof that I am really bringing my dog along. It is now being squashed with all my clothing and my other stuff toys.

Guess what? My mom was asking me what to do with this PS2. T___T She asked me to donate away since I stopped playing for quite some time now. Why is she doing this?? Everything I own, will no longer be mine. My dad bought for me when I was 15.

My beloved Final Fantasy games. I wonder how would Rikuz think about it. We used to discuss a lot about FF when we were younger. And when I say younger, I mean in like few years back.

::Few more hours to go. =)

All I Need Now Is...

2009-02-09T07:05:00.000+09:00

to have someone to tell me something which I always wanted to hear before I leave. I really hope this particular person will read this but somehow, deep down in my heart, I don't seem to know the reason why.

All Aboard?

2009-02-07T20:50:00.000+09:00

In less than 48 hours time I'll be on the plane to somewhere out of nowhere, leaving my home. Do you have any idea how DEPRESSING that sounds whenever I think of leaving the people behind me here? I've been waiting for more than 6 months already and still I'm saying that I'm not ready? What the hell. Whole 6 months. About half a year. Whole 24 weeks. 168 days. No, I'm not going into hours and minutes or I'll never stop counting.

Let's see, what have I been doing for the past few months besides not fully utilizing my precious brain? I had at least 4 months of working experience, about a month away for holiday, and the rest of the days... just stuck at home lazing around accomplishing none of my tasks. No wait, I have not even written any resolutions for year 2009 yet. See! Not even one resolution!

For those back home, they will never understand cause it's not them who are staying away from home for about a year. Note that, about a year! Sobz! Life will still continue to go on even though when I'm not around. Imagine if I leave this world, what will happen then? Will anyone go for my memorial ceremony? Will anyone mourn for my death?

CHOI TAI KA LAI SI.

I'm not sure my chinese word is correct, but have u noticed?
Tai Ka Lai Si.

Everybody go shit. @.@

Sorry, I got a little carried away. As I was saying, people move on eventually whether you are indeed here or not. They will never understand, I had been in that kind of situation before. The first week in NS was H.E.L.L. I Tell You! I can't seem to remember how many times I had cried. Cried till I fell asleep, cried in the toilet, cried in front of my friends, cried when I called my parents. Nobody cared! Everybody was busy with their own lives.

I am about to experience that once more. But this time, with better spirit. Yes, this time for real, I am so gonna do it. I have the chance where not many others have so I am not gonna blow this last chance. It's always easier said than done right? It is time for me to walk the talk!

Sigh..
Sighhhh......

I'll be missing so many TV series. Desperate Housewives. One Tree Hill. American Idol. Gilmore Girls. Goddddddd... Did I mention One in a Million too?

Triple Sighhhhhh.................

My luggages seem to get heavier and heavier each day. I used to have a lot of excess, but now.. I think what's left now is about 4 more kg. Oh oh, I'm bringing my dog, my pooh bear, my monkey and my frog along. So at least I have a few friends when I go to bed everyday since they are replacing my sister. Who knows, I may start talking to them. Omg, I don't want to be that one and lonely person who is too desperate but doesn't have anyone to talk to until is forced to talk to stuff toys. T_____T

I am also here to confess something.

I'm actually afraid of flying. Hahahahaha. Everytime when the captain announces that there is a turbulence, my heart will always be thumping like mad. Usually what I will do is, act cool and pretend that I'm not scared. My hands will get all sweaty and cold okay. Even if the flight attendants ask us to put on our seatbelts, I will always be thinking the worst that can possibly happen.

One more, before I stop writing, I am always afraid of sitting the cable car. You know the cable car where we go up to Genting? Yes, I am referring to that particular one. But, I will only be terrified if the cable car stops for some technical issues. Last time experience was horrible, I don't want to mention about it.

Okay, I am about to go to sleep now. I don't think I will be posting anything for quite some time from now on. So, guys... wish me luck!

Toodles!

*I have something for all the wrong reasons, but somehow... it's still hard not to let go...*

My Turn..!

2009-01-31T18:00:00.000+09:00

So I guess I take a little longer to write this post compare to my friends. I thought of not writing it at first but, whatever... just upload some photos and I'm done. First of all,

Everybody, Happy Chinese New Year!!~

It's Day 6 now. This year's celebration is kinda quiet and it's more like a homely feeling compare to the rest of the years that I had.

What better more to do for the few days before our reunion? My sister and I stayed over for 2 days to help out with my relatives.

The Americans pack their Christmas decorations into boxes and stuff them into their store room while the Chinese.... as you can see from above.

Kinda cute right?

The night of the reunion. Yee Sang with extra extra salmon and extra extra pomelo. =D

For the first time, instead of having dinner at home, we went out.

Yee Sang

My favvvvv

The Land of The Giants.

I looked fugly here. And you know why? Wanna show off here.
That morning when my family went to have dim sum for lunch at SS2 Tai Thong, I.... vomited twice! Lol. Perfect timing and perfect place. I couldn't eat much (my first time this year), and I only had porridge. After lunch, we took the lift towards the carpark. On the way out of the lift, I was feeling all groggy and horrible until.... out came the yuckiest gooey liquid ever. In the drain, in front of the security guards. And then... we just went off. Lol.

In front of them... without washing away the horrible smell. Yucks.

T_____T Why must I embarrass myself so many times? I feel so stupid.

Okay, that was morning, for dinner.. we went to have buffet at Grand Seasons. I was feeling better but still couldn't eat much. I could still rmb how many types of dishes I took.

Well, I had a bowl of soup, 2 types of prawns ( 5 pieces), a small piece of fillet and a stick of fruits.
What a waste. Where got people go buffet only eat this? Mom wouldn't let me stay at home cause she wanted our whole family to be together. So, for all good cause, I followed my mom's command. The captain over there pitied me. He saw me looking like shit, questioned my dad about me and... Taddaaaaa.... He gave me freeeeee.... =D=D=D

After reaching home, I hibernated for more than 12 hours!

Okay, the end.

Stupid dog, don't think HE is (it's a HE OKAY) cute. He fucking bit my hand!! T_____T

NightLife

2009-01-30T03:24:00.000+09:00

MOS? Nope. We just took a picture of it coz we planned to go there. But wtf, those bouncers said that the club was closed. How can it be closed? So embarassing. Dressing up for the night planning to go clubbing. Hahaa

So changed of plan. We went to Coco Banana instead. We drank and drank. See, we almost finished the whole bottle. I think we did in the end. I was terribly drunk to notice.

This gal kept on flirting with our friend here but too bad for her, he wasn't interested. Haha

Then, shit. KL.. I'm telling you now. I did dance. Haha, like how u told me to.

I was so unbalanced that I fell from the couch when they wanted to take our photo. T___T

Everyone together. Don't you think the lighting effect is super nice here? And, though the dance stage is smaller than MOS, but I really like the glass mirror. I saw myself dancing. So embarrassing..

Tat harmsap lou really gave me drink from the bottle itself. Wtf. Luckily Tiff stopped him from doing it too much.

Something From Me To You

2009-01-25T20:30:00.000+09:00

Wtf Wtf! I'll never be ready...

This morning, I received a call from my mom. She told me something, something which I have never expected. My heart just dropped. To the floor! Wtf. I don't wanna leave that early. Seriously, I'm scared.

No, scratch that. I'm terrified.

Wtf. I am now in this moment of wishing that the clock would stop ticking, wishing that I could be in two places at one time. wishing that my heart would stop aching in pain. This kind of feeling is much more awful than the day my contract ended, or the time I had to leave everything behind for three freaking weeks. All the while I thought I was a cold blooded hard core bitch, but I just found out... I have feelings after all. Lol. these human feelings seem so alien to me.

The second that I feel my days are starting to look up, something just have to stand behind my way the next second. Why must they say when one goes up, mustttttt come down?

I really have to start making myself free for others before heading down to the airport and go aboard. The nearer my dateline is, the more plans have been laid out for me. So people, start booking me. ^^

I may not have as much time as before now.
And, I really need a hug from someone. :(

I presume you know what am I referring to. ^^ My friend wanted to kill me when I told him the answer. Lol. I know lar. It might be something lame to some of you.

But, me wor... Ms Lee Yen-Yen ...The *fu...tuuut* *sl...tuuuut* girl has finally reached true womanhood.

Okay, backtrack a little. There is something I need to share with you.

We met up at Sakae Sushi and Terry brought his friend, Colin along to join us. As always, it's crucial to have someone to have good impression on you especially on the first meeting right? First thing first, we introduced ourselves.. okay fine. Then, it went on with casual topics.

But the STUPID ME ( I was sitting next to Colin) wanted to make space for him to sit down by placing my handbag to the right. I didn't know what happened, but all a sudden... the glass fell and out spilled the green tea. I FUCKING SPILLED GREEN TEA ON HIM.

Great......Am I great or what?

***

After dinner, we went to have a look at the place, specially for the 3 virgins to have an idea on what is it about. There were only a few groups, 3-4 groups who were on the line. Since it was kinda early, then we decided to go to arcade for a little while.

Extremely huge mistake.

The club was having an event where they had this famous local deejay or something coming. Sweat. By the time we arrived, just before 10.30pm, the line was extra extra long. It was...hell. We couldn't decided.. to continue queuing up or just have a drink somewhere else.

The purpose of this outing is to have the 3 virgins to have their pleasure of doing it the 'first time'.
And so we did.

Just the 3 of us. The 3 girls.

As it was Ladies' Night, a bouncer came to us ( we were pratically the last in line) and shooed the us girls to the front. We were like....SO BLUR.

We entered the first time. To make things short. We finished 'doing it' about 20-30 minutes later. What the hell. That was when I made up my mind. Clubbing wasn't my thing.

A lot of things happened inside okay? We were feeling so lost, so stupid and so helpless. :(

***

We went to Station 1 nearby to chill down.

Stupid heart Attack. Can't even win once. I had to ask them which card I need so I can win. Wtf.

Uno Stacko

Close up. Damn stupid luh. The first move already they took out the bottom.

Janice went first.

Terry tried to take photo with all of us inside but always couldn't see his face.

Then Colin tried. Still cannot.

She was the last to arrive and the first to go out.

***

All of us crashed at Terry's house.
Played a board game called 'Life'. Kinda nice. You can have your own degree, job, salary, wife, kids, house etc..
Slept bout 5 something cause was talking to Janice and Tiff.

Che Go

2009-01-22T16:39:00.000+09:00

I didn't feel as awkward with them compare to the time I met them for a movie at The Curve. Maybe cause the last time, I haven't seen them for a really really long time. My mind was always repeating this sentence, "Shit, what to talk to them?" Have you ever noticed that I always use the word shit, fuck and omg? Maybe you don't, but now you do. I always have this problem of communicating with other people, as how Lin told me. Die lar.

And so barely after a week, we met up again for Tiff's Birthday. We went to Che Go at Sunway Pyramid. We were suppose to go ice skating after that, but we sat there for a few hours, so we went back home straight after dinner.

See, my photography skill so nice right??

We ordered one set, which is meant for 6-7 people. I thought it wouldn't be enough but the portion was just right.

The waiter barbecuing the beef for us. I love their beef!

Birthday Girl. Wasted she never took with the present someone picked out for her.

First take. The waitress actually got one of her fingers on the camera lens but I expertly deleted it with Paint. =)

Second Take.

Front Row From Left: Tom, Eric, Tiff, Me, Janice2

Back Row From Left : Terry, Gunawan, May Ling

The couple.

We laughed a lot, we ate a lot, we talked a lot. Even about soup kambing and the raw vegetable. Only they will know exactly what I'm talking about. Janice said I sounded so happy that time... and hell yeah, I was. Like how I told someone, I can really be myself when I'm with them. This is a kind of friendship I like. I really hope this will last.

Here Goes...

2009-01-22T08:20:00.000+09:00

I blame myself for going out so many times. I blame myself for not having any idea on what to write. But most of all, I blame myself for being so so lazy. There are times when I do have the mood and there are times when I don't, of course. That's why when I start writing, I will try to continue doing it the next day because the moment I stop to think, my mind just... goes blank.

It seems like a long time since I last hang out with my own friends, and even... =) I feel like I'm losing part of them in me. There was once when we hang out every week, then our outings became every fortnight, and now, it's more than a few months already. I don't really count our last meeting as one of our outings cause we barely even reached 5 minutes when we had to split up. Don't get offended Nar, what I meant is like the whole gang. And when was the last time? I think all of us can answer that. SJ's farewell which was in September last year.

When I went for a holiday in December, I was kinda jealous cause the thought of all of them celebrating Christmas or at least New Year together without me is just killling me. Call me a sensitive bitch or whatever, I don't care. But, all their plans which had been made earlier.. just disappeared. That easily. Like always. And not to forget, them still able to go clubbing even without me cause I have work the next day. It kinda hurts but I'm over it now.

I'm starting to wonder, what is happening to all of us? Everyone seems to have their own set of friends. I am not excluded cause I know I myself have been hanging out with my other friends more often than my own animals. Among everyone of us, I feel like I'm the one who is missing out the most. The one who is the most outdated. Ok lar, some of the times are my fault. I know, it has always been like this. Me not replying their text messages, me not being able to make it for the outings, me not taking the initiative to make the first move. Sooner or later, I won't have any friends at all. Wtf. It will happen one day if I don't start to fix things now before things turn from being bad to worse.

Ever since my contract ended in December, I've been hanging out with this person lesser and lesser. At least last time after work, we were still able to meet up, for a few hours before this person send me back home. 2009 is even worse. I think I can even count the number of times, which I will not mention it here. Maybe, just maybe... I'm starting to feel the guilt of doing things behind my parents' back. It's so much easier to ask my mom's permission when I say I'm going out with my college friends than having to lie to them.

There are times when I feel like giving up, but we still manage to hang on...thanks to this person. I know these days I am always the one who is upset over something, saying words which I shouldn't, starting the fight without any proper reasons, but every girl wants and needs something...to be loved. That's it. Well, most of the people, including guys.. prefer to be loved than to love. I think it's kinda true. I don't know.

Now, I feel even worse after doing something I shouldn't on that night. It was really an accident. Who would have thought? This person had already warned me earlier, and he has the right to be upset over it.

***

It's less than a month now.
I'll be leaving soon and I'm still not ready to leave my comfort zone.
I'm scared... I will really miss all of you. I know you will know if you are the one.

Oh, btw, I lost my virginity recently! Hahaha.. You will know in the next next post. ^^

Something More Personal

2009-01-16T07:00:00.000+09:00

Reading his blog recently made me realize something. I thought I have gotten over the past but there is a faint possibility that I have not. So does this mean that everything I have now isn't real? Or, does this mean that I have turned myself into someone I'm not proud of?

Like I told him...I had goosebumps after reading that particular post of him.

I'm so dead.
How am I suppose to fix this?
Can I turn back time?

A Package for Me

2009-01-15T20:20:00.000+09:00

When I came back from the dentist appointment, I found a package waiting for me! My dad was so considerate for waiting patiently for me and my bro to come back to open the package together. Lol. We were supposed to wait for my bro, but we couldn't because I had to go out in the evening. We couldn't do it the next day too because of me. Awww... It's so pretty. Even the box. Wtf. This news may not be really huge or something but for our family, it is pretty much.a.big.thing.

Guess what this is?

So cool right? My beloved, first ever laptop which I have ever owned! I chose red because I don't want to be the same as others. Not that the rest of the colours are ugly, but red for me is much more striking and you don't see that many red laptops in public right?

So, it is now placed on Dell Box, on the floor, without even a table or a chair to go with because there's no room for extra in my house. And you know why? Scroll down if you wish to.

We have our main computer, which we call it, 'The House Computer'. This is where all our documents and folders are kept. I'm using it to type this post now.

Next, my brother's computer. He doesn't need a high quality speaker because most of the time, my sister or I would be the one playing our music.

And lastly, my sister's computer...which also set on the floor.

Now you can guess why this news is BIG? Well, it's big for me because my dad suddenly came to his senses to actually order the laptop online for Christmas promotion on the last night. You heard me? He ordered around 11pm plus because there are few extra free upgrades if you order them before 5th January, which is like 3 days after we reached home from Aussie.

Desktops although are much stable and faster, they can't beat the weight of laptops. Meaning my dad doesn't need to carry that many boxes like how he used to for my eldest sister, brother and my second sister. You see, we need a box for the LCD, monitor, keyboard and mouse and speaker in one, and a scanner. A computer itself need so many boxes, what about the rest of the luggages? And they are extremely heavy to move around. I'm happy for my dad actually. The weight would lessen the burden for my dad. So you see? We now have 4 computers at home. And, they are always turned on!

What I like about going to Aussie is having to have my own things, things which I can call them MINE. For instance, MY own brand new laptop, MY own camera, MY own baby pillow, MY own accessories and MY own clothes. I don't need to share them no more.

So here's the specs for my laptop. Click to enlarge, that if you want.

I didn't get the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and the 3GB RAM, but I don't mind. I'm still happy with mine =)

Education Fair 2009

2009-01-14T07:26:00.000+09:00

Before meeting up with the rest of the animals at KLCC for the Education Fair, I had lunch with my family at this place called Chinese Village near Jalan Imbi. We have been here quite many times already, from my relatives to my sisters. If you don't mind hot and dirty place, you will certainly enjoy it. First of all, obviously it's good. Secondly, it's really cheap.

The picture doesn't look as good as the real thing.

Dunno what kinda of pork .

Tao Si Fish. I love this. But the fish looks so ugly in the picture. Must be because it's the wrong angle. This reminds me of ...

KL taking the photo of her dish at the Apartment KLCC.

Nyonya Ching. Rm22 per fish. Super cheap right?? Where can get this price? Plus, the fish is HUGE.

***

After lunch, my 2 sisters and I met up with Ann, Lin, Jin, Nar, TJ and Jason at KLCC Convention Center for a few minutes because we were late for the talk where Nar wanted to go. So we split up. They went to Starbucks while we went for the talk.

In the Hall. It was really boring so we decided to go off earlier than we expected. I think we talked more than we listened.

Then, we headed towards the exhibition downstairs where they have all the universtities booths there. We met so many of my sister's friends. What the hell. Really, I think most of her generation were there because they are all after SPM.

Monash Uni

My Ex College. I really love this college!

The college where I wanted to go last time. Don't ask me what course I wanted to take.

We went to a few booths, then Nar went off her own while my sisters and I waited for her outside. Met up with Jin later on because the rest had already gone back, leaving her alone. So CHAM lar. Opps, sorry Lin. You might have ur reasons.

Then Nar was like.. "Eh, take picture, take picture!" And we did. Omg, all almost the same height except for my youngest sister. Yes, the one in red is my YOUNGEST sister.

For dinner, we went to Little Penang Cafe. It's like a tradition of Lee sisters to go there whenever we go to KLCC.

Ordered Cendol.

Nar wanted to take the before and after mixing it up. Sweat.

Yoongs's

Nar, Uuks and mine. I took a few (Only they knew what happened) but uploaded only 1 because they all looked the same to me.

After dinner, we met up with KL near Roti Boy shop. Wow right? Haha, I'm really glad for being able to meet up with all the animals in one day. SJ, you're not forgotten. We did talk about u too. My sisters and I went back with KL by train. We talked quite a lot. And KL showed me her picture in her college brochure. Gratz KL! =D

Bedtime Stories

2009-01-13T19:50:00.000+09:00

I went to the Curve with a few of my college friends that day. Had dinner at Marche. I do admit, I don't go to these kinda places to eat due to their steep price. So, once again... I was blur. I don't even know how to order! I pretended to be cool and acted as if I know all about it when the fact was, I had no idea.

Embarrassing right? I feel stupid. I don't play pool and foosball like how a Sunway student supposed to know. I hate this kinda feeling.

Marche Restaurant.

One bottle of rootbear costs about rm8+.

Me and my grilled chicken chop

Terry looking shocked after he saw the price of the brownies which he owed Tiff.

Group photo. =) Omg, all Monash students except me. Janice stood so far away. Why lar?

Janice, Terry, me, Tiff and Eric.

The guys played pool during the first round. Eric won. For the second round, Eric teamed up with Tiff while Terry teamed up with me and we lost. =( I had fun, though I suck at it. At least they praised Tiff and I a lot even though they must be thinking the other way around.

First round, Eric and Tiff Vs Terry and I. We lost.
Second round, Terry and Janice Vs Eric and Tiff and I. We won.

Ey, at least I hit the goal twice okay. Damn pro. Haha.

After playing, we went to Cineleisure to watch this movie.

I love this movie! It's so funny. Love the kids, Bobbi and Patrick. =D

Eric sent Tiff back while Terry sent Janice back to her house while me, to the LRT station. I was afraid that I couldn't go back because I don't really know when is the last train. What more, I am always having this nostalgic feeling when I take the train late at night. That was our first time experiencing that. Haha, anyway luckily I made it around 11.25pm.

Took the train to WM station and a cab to my house.

We went somewhere which I have never been before. Haha, not gonna post any photos of this place because it will be too embarrassing, and I know that I will be bombarded with questions that I don't know how to answer from my fellow friends.

Everything went on pretty good, though I was like so stupid since it was my first time. What bothers me the most is, people do notice them. And it is really obvious, according to that person.

After about 2 hours, we went to Pavilion to have dinner and to watch movie.

His.

Mine.

Australia

I really wanted to watch this movie so much because in Australia, their posters were everywhere! You know what? Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman are actually Australians. How cool is that? Okay, the movie was kinda dissapointing. I give it a 5.5/10.

Not in the mood to write today. But, just posting this for the sake of doing it before these memories become too old.

Life has been really busy ever since I came back here. One of my family members is here now, staying at Lee Family's house for real. But another left to stay at an apartment in Sunway to study Ausmat. Seems like our family will never be completed anymore, not since my eldest sister went abroad to pursue in dentistry.

1. So our whole family went over to her new apartment where each unit is divided into 3 rooms. 2 twin sharing rooms, and another quad room. She is lucky to have that girl as her roommate because she never once come back to sleep at her room for about a week already.

2. Visited both my grandmothers at Nirvana the other day. Then we had Satay Kajang for lunch.

3. Went to my grandfather's house at Cheras to update our lives. Had seafood with them for dinner.

4. Visited my aunt and uncle who used to take care of me when I was younger at Melawati.

5. Been cleaning my room, my wardrobe, and everything as CNY is approaching.

My mom asked, "After you go to Australia what are you gonna do with all these?"

My beloved Final Fantasy puzzle which will be given to our casual maid.

Then she continued with my story books, which I never once throw away before.

My collection of Sweet Valley. Will be donating them to the church.

Enid Blyton books. 3 Complete Series of 3 different set of stories.

Sobz. All these books will be donated to a church.

Okay, so there are a lot of children books, but still..! Each of them has its own memory okay.

Books that I will be keeping so far.

All my bear bears.... most of them.. will be given away as well. T___T So sad..

A Message

2009-01-10T19:24:00.000+09:00

She had something in mind. She knew what she had always wanted. And bear in mind that she hardly dared to speak out to the other person, let alone to think about it.

As her fingers furiously tapped onto the keypad of her mobile phone, she was left imagining the worst case scenario that could have possibly happened the moment she got her reply from the other person.

She was satisfied with what she had written, though she wasn't as sure as how she had felt a minute before. In other words, she was... undeniably confused.

She had two options, either to turn a deaf ear and pretended that she had heard nothing, or to take the risk of destroying what they had built before.

She had decided to go for the second option.

She was being really sensitive, but this time, she didn't want to hold back but to send it to the other person while she had the guts. Realizing that she was terrified of the fact that the history might repeat itself but it would be better to make things clear instead of being in an unsure position.

A pop-up screen showed the message sending, sending...and it went sent. There, she had done it.

:: I want you to tell everyone that I'm yours and no one can take me away from you...

The Start of The Journey

2009-01-08T15:04:00.000+09:00

As written above..

3 one hand luggages and two handbags, which includes my mom's.

After full 3 weeks

***

And where to..?

LCCT. It was also my first time sitting AirAsia.

This is what I've spotted while having dinner with my parents. And to think McD can actually make such a mistake. @.@

***

After 7 hours of sitting on the congested seats with no movies to watch and no songs to listen, we reached our destination. AirAsia don't even provide pillow and blanket for us! Totally different experience than my previous ones.

Melbourne International Airport.

Didn't really do much after having Yoongs to pick us up in the bus station as it was raining throughout the day.

Our dinner. (My sister cooked while I helped out with all the dirty work. We actually had salad which I did myself but I bloody hell forgot to take pic!)

Damn banyak giler. We couldn't finish. But it is still much cheaper to cook ourselves than to eat out.

Me, mom and Yoongs in her apartment.

Canberra

2009-01-08T14:44:00.000+09:00

The next day, we left Melbourne and joined a tour to Canberra and Sydney for a few days. Don't really feel writing much, just letting the photos to do the talking as usual.

Monument

The names of the well known ppl are carved on the wall.

Overall, Canberra is like one of the most boring city. The whole city is something like Putrajaya here. Like, there's all those ambassadors, headquarters etc etc. Oh, now I know ANU is located somewhere there as well. On the way to Sydney, we stopped by this temple which is said to be very famous.

There's one foreigner who was really impressed by the design. He said, "Woahh". Then I was thinking, what's so great?

The view from the staircase

Everybody loves this! SOO CUTE!

Coudn't resist on pulling his ears.

And kissing him. =P

Sydney Part I

We first stopped by a stadium where it used to hold the Olympic Games few years back.

ANZ Stadium

They put the names of the Olympic winners on the poles.

As all tourists, we visited Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Pictures coming up.

China Town

Limo near Star City. My first time entering a casino and it's damn cool and super HUGE. Love love this place!

During the night, we went ourselves to Darling Harbour. This is a must place to go and it is really perfect for couples. Seriously, Sydney is a much more romantic city than Melbourne city.

A place where they have their performances and all. For now, it was Christmas Caroling as Christmas was approaching.

Met up with Dad's Friend the next night.

He brought us to Oyster Bar near Sydney Opera House for drinks. My thoughts was like.. "FUCK and OMG OMG...". What was I supposed to order? I don't drink COFFEE OKAY. I don't even know what kind they have. And there wasn't any selection of coffee printed in the MENU as we can order anything. So when Dad's friend asked me, the first thing that came through my mind was... 'Ice Cappuccino'. Sweat. Then my dad and sis followed me. Haha! I felt so proud. Lol.

The end of the Trip.

Yoong's Graduation

2009-01-08T08:17:00.000+09:00

My sister's Graduation. For those who doesn't know, my sister went to Swinburne Uni in Melbourne for 1 1/2 years and took Bachelor of Design (Interior Design).

After dinner, we went to Crown Casino. Though it is newer, but I still prefer Sydney's.

Black Limo instead of white.

My sis's fav

Second time cooking with my sis for dinner. =D It looks ugly in the photo but it was kinda good.

BBQ night with Man Yee's family, Jaslyn's family, Aaron, Pauline and our family. (arranged by my sis)

Aussie BBQ style. Using electronic BBQ set instead of the usual one we have in Malaysia. It starts with placing the aluminum foil on the grill.

Adding onions to enhance the taste of burger meat.

Then go on by putting in sausages and kebabs.

Lastly, adding the bread for the final touch and you're good to go. =D

Additional food

Group photo in my sis's apartment. Too bad the other family went back earlier.

Ballarat : Sovereign Hill

2009-01-07T16:17:00.000+09:00

Before taking the coach to Adelaide at night, we sat V-Line from Southern Cross Station to Ballarat, which used to be a mining area in the suburb of Melbourne and Adelaide. (I think).
