Mi Vida En Una Ventana

Finally...

2008-12-28T15:11:00.002+08:00

So the year 2008 is coming to an end. Time to reflect on the last 362 days...

Has it been a good year? A crappy one? A year filled with trials and tribulations? A year filled with loads and loads of fun?

Time for me to go sit at the corner and ponder the year over...

08.08.08

2008-08-08T10:31:00.001+08:00

Haha I just had to blog today. Auspicious day isn't it?

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone still comes here?

It's Time

2008-05-07T15:50:00.002+08:00

Exam's tomorrow morning. EEEK.

Morning paper = waking up early = making sure enough time is allocated to be stuck in morning traffic.

But then again, morning paper = free for half the day = can laze around before starting work on Friday. BOO.

How silly is it to go to work for just one day, then it's the weekend! No choice though cos the Company does not allow us to take additional days off!

So, am I ready for the exam? Well, are you ever ready for any exams???

I especially hate the last chapter cos I have no inkling over what the heck they are talking about. All the words I read just seem to be bla bla bla bla bla.

Anyway now I'm in the "Let's just get it over and done with" mood. I forsee a lot of flipping to be done during tomorrow's paper. Yep, it's an open book exam BUT that does not make it any easier. Because then you'll be so caught up with looking for the answer that you don't realise that time is ticking by. *tick tock tick tock what chu waiting what chu waiting what chu waiting for*

I purposely set my alarm today for 8 am but mmm changed it to 8.30 am after that. Cos since I have been waking up after 9 so far, I was a bit worried that I won't be able to wake up early tomorrow. But my mom surprised me again by asking, "How come you're up so early?" HAHAHA. Is it early? Haih.

You know on Sunday night, I slept at about 10 pm (dunno why so tired) and only woke up at 9 am the next morning. And that was by force cos I was thinking to myself "Crap. I haven't finished reading my materials yet. Need. to. wake. up." I guess I should have stayed in bed a lil while longer cos I was walking around the house still half asleep and was not able to concentrate on what I was reading. I actually think that I was sick that night but dare not mention to my mom cos then I'll get nagged on.

Anywho, looks like it's going to rain.

Wish me luck for tomorrow! And that I don't get papercuts!

After tomorrow, I'll finally be able to read my new book and watch this whole stack of DVD's that I bought during the past 2 weeks. I've been such a good girl! *pats back*

Friday!

2008-04-25T17:52:00.002+08:00

Yay! I'm onto my second day of study leave which has been somewhat productive. Went out for a quick lunch just now cos main reason was to get a few essentials like soap and all, and also highlighters as I forsee that my current ones will run out soon. Got sidetracked and in the end spent close to 200 bucks. No new highlighters though. Mostly on a new book and body lotion.

Now, the temptation to rip open the plastic cover and read the book is there. However, I'm resisting that temptation as I have other more important things to read. Which is why I left it downstairs cos as the saying goes, "Out of sight, out of mind". Right? I hope I'm right.

Anyway was truly surprised when my mom asked me how come I'm awake so early at 9 am. Mind you I was awake since 8.15. What to do, when you're so used to waking up at 6 something every weekday, it's only natural for my body to not let me sleep in.

Mmm, decisions decisions. Three of us are deciding what to have for dinner tonight. One wants chicken, the other some spinach thingy at Pizza Uno and I just want some nice desert.

Alright, time to go for a walk. This chair is killing my butt.

yawn

2008-04-13T17:35:00.002+08:00

I'm bored. Sunday afternoons/evenings are really not my favourite part of the week cos that means that Monday is drawing closer! I've got the blues even before Monday hits.

So I spent the whole of last week at client's place with no internet and no one else. Yep, I was all by myself. To make matters worse, the client was busy and hardly entertained me at all! THAT WAS REALLY BORING. My only source of entertainment was my songs. I guess the only good thing was that I got to go home relatively early...but had to endure an hour's drive depending on traffic. Boring. That's my word of the week.

So I was stuck at home this whole weekend but hardly did any studying! ^@##$! Exam's in less than a month and I still have so much more to study. I can't believe that I'm still on the first chapter. UGH. I need some motivation. I've been stuck on this chapter for 1 month now. Can't wait for my study break to start so that I can focus 110% for my paper.

Argghhhh. I need a holiday.

My cousin in Japan sent some photos over. It's spring over there now and would you just look at the pics! They were taken at some park in Tokyo.

It's so pretty!

Alright, have to get back to "studying". And have to think bout dinner...hmmm...

Have a good week!

p/s: I need a holiday.

Argghhh

2008-04-10T20:56:00.002+08:00

I feel like pulling my hair out. FEEL only alright.

So many things going on at once... My exam's in less than a month and I've barely touched the materials. This is not good. And just when I thought that I'll be slightly free this weekend, BAM. Work comes pouring in. It's a vicious cycle I tell you. The more jobs that you do, the more shit you have clear later on! What's even worse is when you're stuck with that colleague that everyone fears of!

Sigh.

More later. Watching Idol Gives Back while doing some work. Ta

Happy Chinese New Year

2008-02-06T17:34:00.000+08:00

It's my year!

Somehow I don't think that I fit that description.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Enjoy the holidays and be safe!

It's 2008 already?

2008-01-02T20:19:00.000+08:00

Hello. It's a new year. Again. 364 more days to go before another year begins.

To be honest, I can't really remember how 2007 was. Eventhough it passed by pretty quickly, I didn't want it to end cos the new year would mean loads of work coming my way and would also mean that I, and you, are getting older.

Oh well, I guess it's time for that mandatory reflection of the past year.

Last year, to me, was...alright. Every day was just another day. Seriously. The dates didn't matter much to me (except for deadlines maybe) cos everytime I look at the date, my brain just goes "Oh. It's another day." I forgot a lot of birthdays (my bad...sorry!). Kept wishing that it was Friday everyday and kept asking myself "Why" a lot of times.

Oh well. Hope the new year goes well for everyone. And no, I don't do new year resolutions. Just cause it's a new year doesn't mean you have to come up with resolutions for yourself. It's a new day everyday, right?

Back to Langkawi again next week. So toodles. Have a great year!

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T12:05:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas to all! The second picture was taken in Orchard Road, Singapore when I was there early this month.

Enjoy the day off!

Home

2007-12-07T23:04:00.000+08:00

I'm home!!! Not for long though... I'll be off to somewhere near Penang on Sunday for a week. Bah. More travelling, only this time I have to drive.

Tired...and still can't check my results. Can you imagine, I actually logged on to the website the minute the results were out but couldn't check it! Due to some technical difficulties, that stupid website is not working...and it's been 8 hours. Bah.

Packing...yet again

2007-11-25T13:28:00.000+08:00

I have to pack again! Off to Singapore tomorrow for about 11/12 days. Am almost done with packing but have been repacking since my luggage is running out of space and I haven't put in my toiletries yet. Have been asking Yin silly questions that I think the first thing she is going to do when she sees me is bash me. And no, I'm not off to Singapore for a holiday. It's for work work work. And yes, I know I just got back from Langkawi a week ago and I don't think I have fully rested from that trip. Have been waking up early eversince I got back and only managed to really catch up on sleep last night where I slept like a log for 11 hours. Whoopedoo. My parents got a shock when I announced at 9.45 pm last night that I was going to bed. Such is the life of an auditor. Buahaha

I'm too lazy to go out since I've packed most of my stuff. Still need to go change a bit more money but at the moment, all the ATM's are not working. Only the RHB ones though. Weird.

I can't believe we're taking the 8.05 a.m. flight. Why can't they put us on a flight this evening! Suppose to meet the other colleagues at McD's somewhere at 4.50 a.m. Ladida...tomorrow all of use are gonna look like this the whole day -.- So Yin, just look out for 4 people who look like this -.-

Ok, gotta run...waiting for lunch then am suppose to look through my work. Bleh.

Have a great week!

I'm Off...

2007-11-11T18:28:00.000+08:00

Going to Langkawi tomorrow and will be back on saturday night. Unfortunately, it's not for a holiday but for work. Yes, back to the same place I went to in January. Kinda looking forward to it although...kinda worried at the same time. Haih. Oh wellls. At least it will be a change in environment.

Also, about a week after I get back from Langkawi I'm off to Singapore and yes, for work. Will be there for 2 weeks so Yin and Syl! Looking forward to seeing you guys...

So looks like I won't be going for the annual dinner after all since we're scheduled to return on that day. Then I'm off to Penang for more work. Geeze. Even thinking about it is making me tired. All the packing and unpacking. Sigh.

But anywho, I'm thankful that for all 3 trips, it'll be with people that I am close to. So yay for that.

Take care peeps! Have a great week ahead!

Koff koff

2007-10-30T21:06:00.000+08:00

So, the exam's over and done with. Trying not to think about it cos it didn't go very well (as usual) until this dum dum (SLWF) decided to tell me the date of the results cos I didn't know initially cos I don't really wanna know my results see. So yes. 7th December. HEY! I just realised that's the day of my company's annual dinner. Ms. SLWF is currently hitting her head against the wall because it took me this long to realise that. Oh wells. I guess people will be late for the dinner?

You know, after my exam I had this intention to blog some stuff but it all flew out the window because number 1, I was brain dead after the exam, number 2, I was busy watching Ugly Betty and finally number 3, I was/am sick.

So now, I forgot what it was that I wanted to talk about cos everytime I cough, I get red in the face and feel all hot and hence, forget what I'm doing.

I...forgot what else I wanted to say so I'll just stop here.

Toodles

One more week

2007-10-18T20:19:00.000+08:00

Sigh. One more week till the exam. Then it will be work work work. How boring. *yawn* Can't believe 1 week has passed since I went on my study break. Managed to get some things done, checked out new malls (Pavillion and The Gardens), watched Hairspray (finally!!!) sleep for more than 8 hours and watch tv. Oh and have been eating out a lot as well. Crap.

I just realised that the cats (stray ones) have been mistaking my car for some sort of a fun slide. They like to jump from the house roof onto my car roof and *wheeeeeeeee whoossssh* slide down my front windscreen and land their stubby paws onto the hood of my car. That explains the dirty paw prints and SCRATCHES. How do I know this? Because my dear mommy saw it and didn't like shoo it away with some broom or something. Not that she's cruel to animals or anything but but but...my car. -.-

I start my day with Friends at 8.30 am (yes, I am awake by then already) followed by Ellen or Oprah from 9 - 10a.m. depending on who has the more interesting guests and then err, it's time to come online and waste the day away, studying (but of course). That's when the day gets boring. Sigh.

I think the electricity bill this month is gonna go sky rocket high with me being cooped up in my room for most of the day. Room's getting a lil too messy but I shall not worry about tripping over anything for the meantime although, I did bump into my bed and cause this huge bruise on my shin. A sign, maybe?

Ooo, just now my dad collected the iTouch he ordered. Haven't really gotten round playing with it yet so it's sitting on the table looking all pretty and sleek. No time no time. Maybe later I'll go put some songs into it as I think my dad's music library is limited to songs by Nana Mouskouri (who?), Queen, Beatles and so on...you get the idea. Perhaps I could put in some Christina Aguilera, James Blunt, Fergie, Timbaland...Haha. Nahhh. His hearing is bad enough already, wouldn't want to totally damage his eardrums. If not he'll ask me "What is that fella singing? Suicidal??? (he was referring to Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls)."

Ok, gotta get back to listening to some case study interactive thingy. Toodles! And Happy Studying to those who are facing exams too!

2007-10-10T18:06:00.000+08:00

Stumbled onto this website http://www.whatismtou.com/

I was mucking around with it and came out with this for fun.

2007-10-02T21:27:00.000+08:00

Last year, on this very day, I stepped into working life. Shucks, it's been one year! Out of the 6 of us who joined that day, only 3 of us are left. Wonder how long we'll last...

On Monday, I saw a handful of people sitting at the reception area in the morning. I thought to myself, "Gosh. That was me a year ago." Good luck people! Heh. I'm so mean.

It was interesting last week as I attended training (yes, finally, after one year?) cos it was fun eventhough it was boring? Fun because met a whole bunch of other people and there were lots of jokes flying around. Even the facilitators were bearable.

Ok, don't have too much time to crap around as exam's coming! Yikes! I don't think that I'm even halfway through the materials.

Bah.

All The Lost Souls

2007-09-19T18:29:00.000+08:00

Happy.vbs is gone. Hiak hiak hiak

Currently listening James Blunt's new album. Hmm, the songs are making me think too much.

"So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep,
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go

So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars
Look at the stars, falling down,
And I wonder where, did I go wrong."
Same Mistake - James Blunt

"Are you calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes ... in your eyes
I could use the same old lines ... but I'll sing

Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
but it paved the cloud that we're dancing on"
Shine On - James Blunt

Time to study. Ugh.

Happy anyone?

2007-09-12T20:02:00.000+08:00

Does anybody know how to remove the happy.vbs virus (or is it a trojan or whatever it's called)?

Help!!!

Sunrise & Sunset in Hong Kong

"Oh. I thought today's Friday."

Busy weekend coming up...

Another mystery solved?

2007-07-23T22:16:00.000+08:00

Another mystery is solved.

How does the small arrow in the screen of the computer work when we move the mouse? Haven't you ever wondered how it works?

Now, through the miracle of the high technology, we can see how it is done.

With the aid of a screen magnifying lens the mechanism becomes apparent.

Another special date...

Thank goodness the day is coming to an end. No, it's not because the final Harry Potter book will be out tomorrow...

Can't believe some people. So....ugh. One word. Stupid. She thinks that by assuming the role of a senior, she really is a senior when she really isn't one. Geddit? Let's just say that she's expecting a promotion end of this month so she has decided to start bossing people around and bla bla bla. I don't even know what I'm talking about. Tired. Been going to Nilai for work. Nilai's in Negeri Sembilan which is near Seremban for those of you who don't know. Oh and Seremban is near Malacca. Oooh, so my geography doesn't suck after all.

Bleargh. I'm hungry.

17th July

2007-07-17T20:45:00.000+08:00

Why I think my Daddy is getting old

1. He forgot that I’ve already turned 21, 2 years ago.
2. He forgot that I wanted Eeyore and not Winnie the Pooh even though I just told him last night.
3. Despite telling him several times that I do not like dried prawns, he can still get food containing it for you. His excuse? “The dried prawns are toooo small. Cannot see.”
4. His hearing is hopeless. *James Blunt’s You’re Beautiful is playing on the radio* “Oh, this one is that Christina Aguilera right?” *Stare* *Blink blink* “No… it’s James Blunt. And he’s a guy.” “Oh. But but but she also sang some song bout being beautifully what… Why you looking at daddy like that?!”
5. He went to fill up petrol for you and the next day he goes to check your car and starts saying “Oh SHIT.” loud enough for your neighbours to hear. Then you realise that he drove home without the petrol cap and your petrol flap was left open for half a day. And the fact that it rained heavily that day didn’t make things easier.

Why I think my Daddy is the best

1. He treats me like a lil’ girl.
2. He went Eeyore hunting when I couldn’t find any at any Guardian Pharmacy and brought one home for me.
3. He buys me Baskin Robbins ice cream every 31st.
4. He makes me laugh all the time. “Oh you know your petrol flap was open for half a day and the hole is big enough for a lizard to crawl in you know. Ah, if that happens, then you will have a big problem” So I imagined a lizard crawling into the hole and falling into the petrol tank. Then, I realised that wasn’t a joke when I laughed at him and he said “Ehhh. Really…”
5. He waits up till I come back from work even though it’s past 1 am and washes the dishes after dinner when I’m the last to eat after work.

So, where am I going with these? Well, he turns 60 years young today.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
We shall wait for your son to come back from climbing Mount Kinabalu (lol) and then we’ll open up your special bottle of wine ok?

I do not understand

2007-07-11T19:39:00.000+08:00

I really don't.

Am I too nice that my requests are snubbed and brushed off the shoulder like specks of dust?

It's really just one simple instruction. Sigh.

Congratulations Lynn!!! 07.07.07

2007-07-07T23:18:00.000+08:00

Lynn got married today!!! I didn't know she was really tying the knot on this day since she did mention to me last year that 07.07.07 would be a nice date for her to get married. Didn't cross my mind that she would actually get married today. Woke up this morning wondering what date it was and when it hit me, I quickly smsed her. Since she didn't reply me till just, which was about 14 hours later, I knew I was right.

You. Married. We're the same age!

Congratulations to you dear! Hope that you will have a wonderful life with your hubby!

Miss you lots. Take care! Hmm, I wonder if you still come here...

p/s: You owe me dinner. Either you come here, or I go to Melb or we meet halfway or something.

Digi vs. Celcom

2007-07-03T20:55:00.000+08:00

You know the tv ads promoting Digi's widest coverage where it will follow you wherever you may go?

Well, personally I don't think that's true because my dad can't even get reception in his own house cos it's Celcom's territory!

Hyuk hyuk hyuk... I was laughing so hard when I saw the second one and forwarded it to my dad. His response? "Oooi why you insult my digi service?"

And yes, I am a Celcom user. Celcom rocks! Muahaha... but dang, that song has been stuck in my head for the past month!

Meant to post this picture up ages ago. Went with my mom to Tony Roma's at The Curve to try the ribs and I had the ribless (yay!) ribs. I like anything that's less: ribless, boneless, fatless etc. It's just easier to eat! Anyway, it was really good! Not fatless but oooh the sauce that it was covered in...yummy. Plus, they had like 4 types of barbeque sauces that I was dipping my fries into. Fantastic. That plate was RM48.50 though I think. Sorry the picture is a bit dark cos well, the place was dark so It's a nice place to bring your hunny bunny to but... your parents are going to have a hard time reading the menu as my mom did. I had to pratically shout (cost it was noisy as well) to her what's on the menu... "Ooh, you want prawns? Ribs? Fish?!" "What what where where...I can't read the menu. The lights are too dim..."

Haha anyway we had a fun time communicating with our eyes especially cos the restaurant is not big and the tables are pretty close to each other so we were pointing what the next table was eating/wearing/drinking. When the bill came I nearly fainted. Oh well, I'm not paying on my next trip there :p

I'm suppose to be at my nieces' birthday party in 30 mins. But of course, we're going to be late as usual. This will be my first time attending the party since for the last 4 I was in Melbourne. Sigh, Melbourne.

So what has been happening for the past month? Well, I was stuck in a hospital for 2 weeks and nope it wasn't because I was sick or anything. My client is the hospital. Hah, I always get a kick out of telling people that I'm working in the hospital. Their usual reaction is, "Why? Did you put your client in the hospital?" -.-''' Am I THAT bad??? Needless to say, it wasn't a very nice place to be and I still haven't found out where the mortuary is.

Oh and I finally got my first accident. It wasn't a crash bang boom accident, just a mere misjudgement of mine whereby I sorta err, touched another car. My car needs to be sent to the workshop pronto cos the paint came off and I think the exposed part is starting to rust. Oooh, that was a black Friday alright. Bleh...

I might be going to Bangkok, not for a holiday but for work. Sigh...

Okies, I'm going to go change the date on my watch (darn, no 31st last month) and er maybe get ready soon.

Tata!

Oh look, it's June already...

2007-06-15T20:20:00.000+08:00

15 more days and that's half a year gone. *whoosh* Just like that.

Got my results today...ooo happy happy happy. My colleague and I were driving other people crazy by reminding them that results will be out at 4pm. During the day, we kept checking the web to see if it's accessible yet. Checked at 3.59 but it was not out yet. The second the clock turned 4, my colleague clicked refresh and we both screamed. Results are out. Oh well, happy happy happy.

Haven't been blogging for a while because there was really nothing to write about. Was going to post some food pics up but I got lazy...

Have yet to watch Pirates 3, Shrek 3 and Ocean's 13. Bah. Am watching Fantastic 4 tomorrow. Can't believe we ended up buying tickets for tomorrow's show a week ago when we tried to buy tickets for Pirates and Shrek. Bleh

Er yes. Still nothing to blog about.

Enjoy your weekend!

So the only other famous thing in Teluk Intan is this chee cheong fun. It's not your ordinary char siew or prawn filled one but rather, it's filled with fried dried prawns and preserved vegetable. It was ok, not a fan of dried prawns, so I guess that's why I wasn't too keen on it. Oh well, it was worth a try.

p/s: I can't figure out how to blog more than on photo in one entry using flickr...hence the 2 entires.

Leaning Pagoda
Originally uploaded by purplehyppo

Hey folks, I'm back! It was quite a relaxing week working in Teluk Intan actually, since the client closes at 5pm. Not much to do there so we spent most of our free time watching tv.

The trip there was interesting to say the least. I overshot the turning into the client's place and went 20 km before realising that something was wrong. We landed in the next town, and probably scared the daylights out of the woman we asked for directions. "This is not Teluk Intan anymore! It's Hutan Melintang!" Oops. Turned back and managed to find the place in the end. It wasn't my fault, we were following the map that was given to us, how were we suppose to know that the "Teluk Anson Food Court" was really the "Teluk Anson View Restauran". Bleh... didn't lose my way back though!

This, is the famous leaning pagoda in the town center. It's leaning because er something about how the land is sinking every year and er that's why it's tilting or something like that. Wasn't really paying attention to what the client was saying as I was too busy trying to snap some pictures.

Off I Go Again...

Am heading to Teluk Intan (it's in Perak, somewhere before Ipoh) for work tomorrow. Sien. I have to drive and it takes bout 3 hours as per my colleague who went the last time. Hopefully we'll finish work quick quick so I can come back on Friday afternoon since my colleague is off to Ipoh on Friday afternoon which leaves me driving back alone. Whooopee. What fun. I'm now stocking my car with sweets and cds filled with loud happy songs. Pray that we don't get lost as we both have no clue on how to get there. Hopefully the map given is trustworthy!

Anywhos, I boldly took a picture of the chocolate fountain when we went for Mother's Day lunch last week. Hey, I wasn't the only one... Mmm. Chocolate.

p/s: I'll drive carefully and not too fast as my mother and brother have already warned me that my car is light and should I go to fast, I'll probably go flying. SMS me if you know who won American Idol!!! GO JORDIN!

So it was back to work today and it wasn't so bad just that most of us couldn't wait for 5.30 to come.

Exam was so-so, spent too much flipping around notes to find the answer (yes, it's open book but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be a problem, you try finding the answer to a question like, "According to soandso(1997), his thoughts on this was..."). It was like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. Seriously. "-.-

Anyway, I satisfied my craving for a brownie yesterday and I'm going to enjoy myself tonight with dinner at TGIF. Yum.

Enjoy your weekend!

As opposed to two days ago, today...

2007-05-02T20:27:00.000+08:00

I still think I'm getting sick or rather I hope I am getting sick. :D

Phone did die, but i got a new one!

Pay has gone in but is going to decrease rapidly due to the new phone...

Exam time tomorrow. Booooooooooooooooo. On one hand, I can't wait to get it over and done with so I can go shopping but on the other, I don't wanna go back to work!

Hope I don't flunk... The stress is starting to kick in again...

Hah-chiewww

2007-04-30T18:49:00.000+08:00

I think I'm getting sick.

My phone just died on me I think. All I get is this white screen.

Pay still hasn't gone in yet...

Woe is me. :(

Hmmm...

2007-04-26T15:39:00.000+08:00

I am definitely enjoying my study break very much at the moment. Managed to get some errands done although yes I know, I'm supposed to be studying but hey, it's also a rest period for me. Sort of.

I'm craving for a warmly baked brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce. Mmm... Nah. Too lazy to drag myself out to do anything. It's too hot out there and I'm quite contented with being in my air-conditioned room and having the first 12 episodes of Grey's Anatomy season 3 "hidden" in my drawer will not tempt me from further delaying my studying time.

It will not. I repeat, it will not.

Alright, maaaaaybe I'll just read a few pages then reward myself with an episode. Hah. Brilliant.

Watched American Idol last night and I'm rooting for Jordin! Her performance last night was just fantastic. Go watch it online and you'll see what I mean.

Darn. Now I'm craving for mud cake.

Day 1

2007-04-23T20:57:00.000+08:00

Today could not have come sooner. Am so glad to be out of that stupid engagement which was just filled with so much conflict that I decided not to care anymore. Ugh.

Anyway, it's time to really get down to studying cos I don't have much time left. Exam's next thursday and I still haven't finished reading my notes yet because I just simply had no time to before. Still can't believe that I have to drag my ass over to office tomorrow afternoon for some compulsory training.

On a lighter note, I managed to step foot in to 1 Utama for a short while last night and today as well. It's been soooo long since I've been there even though I live less than 5 minutes away. I just simply had no time. HAH. You must be sick of reading that phrase over and over again.

I'm so happy! I bought Mika's Life in Colour Motion today. Got the special Malaysian version for 30 bucks which is cheaper. Was curious so I asked the cashier what's the difference between this and the original one. With the cheaper one, there's nothing in the cd inlay. *shrugs* I'm happy to pay less for no lyrics and pictures. Hey, it's the cd that's most important and am happy to say that this cd does make me happy! Although my dad was frowning and shaking his head when I was playing it in my car.

happyhappyhappy

Ok, back to studying.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

2007-04-04T23:19:00.000+08:00

Just when I thought the problem was over, more trouble came pouring in. How can one act that way when we are a team? After all, who was the one who keeps reminding all of us that we are a team where we rise and fall together? Have you forgotten all the "wise" words you communicated to us in hopes that this engagement will be a smooth sailing one? You are definitely not practising what you preach and all of us are majorly pissed with you especially after what happened today.

We are all doubting that you are actually playing your part in this so called team and you are supposed to be our so called leader. I have heard some unflattering stories about you and chose not to believe them until I see it for myself but now, I am a believer because I have seen enough for me to judge what a person you truly are.

You are truly driving us to the edge by being such a bossy bitch who keeps pestering us time and time again and demanding to know why we haven't finished the tasks you gave us. HELL-lo. You keep throwing us a whole lot of sections to cover and what are you actually doing behind that laptop screen is what we really want to know. And to think that our manager actually thinks that you are very capable.

I hate this feeling. I've actually never felt so much hatred for one person ever before in my lifetime. I just hope that you will stop backstabbing us and get the hint that you are being a total bitch and no one is comfortable with working with you anymore. You had better stop bitching and get back to work because we are working our asses off for this job while you spend the day "discussing" with the client and our senior.

Revival

2007-04-01T17:26:00.000+08:00

Hello all. I know I haven't been blogging for a long long long time and when I actually wanted to last week, I er couldn't because blogger thought that my blog was a spam blog bla bla bla so I had to submit a request to them and now it's up and running again as usual. Woo hoo.

Right. So how has my life been since CNY? I'm still stuck at the same client until mid May and it has been a real experience as it has brought a whole new meaning of the word bitch to me.

Am really grateful and happy to be working with my current team of colleagues because we just crack each other up and tease each other till no end. That gives me something to look forward to each day.

Will try to update more but that would really depend on whether anything exciting happens to me.

Casa del Mar, Langkawi

2007-02-11T12:53:00.000+08:00

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago but work got in the way and frankly speaking, after spending more than 12 hours at the computer a day, the last thing I want to do when I get home is get on the computer again. My apologies.

Anyway, we (my colleague and I) stayed at Casa del Mar, Langkawi which is at er, I can't remember where but it's near Pelangi. It is really a home by the sea, which is really what the name is, so I can understand why a lot of people would stay there. They really do get the whole beach to themselves.

We were put up in the room on the ground floor

209 is actually a handicapped room. The bathroom was huge (no tub though) and the light switches were placed lower than usual.

They have their own range of soap, shampoo and moisturizer. That bar is actually cinnammon soap and I brought it back muct to the disgust of my mother who scrunched up her nose when she took a sniff. Too strong perhaps?

The poolside where we did not spend any time there at all.

We actually stole this off their computer cos it was just too nice.

Obviously, compared to Kuala Selangor, this place is heaven and Kuala Selangor is just a... fishing town. Being in Kuala Selangor was hard cos the client didn't speak english. Only malay and mandarin. *smacks forehead* Can you imagine 2 chinese, conversing in malay?! That happened! I've never spoken so much malay before at one time and it was really hard because I haven't been speaking malay since leaving school.

Oh, did I mention that we didn't have to spend a single cent on food while we were in Langkawi?

Lately, I've been dropping my phone a lot. Not on purpose of course. I love my phone ok. Everytime I drop my phone, it will say "Insert Sim" and only after a few times of turning it off and on will it function properly. Ugh. So angry at myself.

Chinese New Year is coming and I haven't bought any new year clothes because one, I haven't had the time to really shop and two, I'm too tired.

Is it just me or has it been really hot past week?

I'll be MIA

2007-01-22T21:46:00.000+08:00

I'll be in "oh-so-exciting" Kuala Selangor for the rest of the week. Will be staying there till the weekend I think so that we won't have to travel 3 hours a day to and fro. Of all places to be working...

It's so rural and it's just ugh. The only main attraction here are fireflies. Whoopeedoodah.

Blah. Wish me luck. I'm the field-in-charge for this job. D-I-E la.

2007-01-21T11:21:00.000+08:00

Ok, I meant to post up some pictures from Langkawi but my laptop has been acting pissy and all. It turns on fine sometimes, but some days, it refuses to turn on. Like today. So I've resorted to using my office's laptop.

Nothing new happening except that I'm sick. Hoo hoo.

Pictures will be up as soon as my computer decides to behave.

Langkawi!

2007-01-08T20:04:00.000+08:00

Am in Langkawi at the moment and before you all starting going, "Gee. That's nice." hold on. I'm not here for a holiday but for work! Ugh. It's so hard to work when you're by the sea and it's such a perfect weather to be outdoors. Instead, my colleague and I are stuck in the office (which just so happens to be where we're staying) wondering if we can finish our work in time since we're here only for a week.

This hotel is full of foreigners and I know why. No Malaysian would pay 600 bucks for a room.

Anyways, yahoo! for wireless. At least I'm not disconnected from the rest of the world. Lots of mozzies here now though.

Ok, gotta run. Dinner soon. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post. That is, if I do get round taking pictures.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T12:22:00.000+08:00

Here's wishing all of you a blessed and joyful christmas and a happy new year!

It stings it stings

2006-12-18T20:51:00.000+08:00

You know the feeling you get when a tiny drop of water touches your bare skin? Imagine taking a shower while promptly forgetting that your shoe has tore some skin off at the area just above your heel. Yep. It stinks. I mean, it stings. Extremely badly. So bad that instead of enjoying my shower, I was loathing it.

Darn you shoes.

Had a good day at work though ie. was sitting around in the office with minimal to do since the client refused to let me go to their place today. The bad news is that for the rest of the week, I'll be the only one there. And it ain't a nice place to go to cos the food around there sucks and not to mention that I'll be the only one there. Ladida...

Can't wait for Friday for my company's annual dinner although I still have no idea what to wear.

Since I got off work today sharp at 5.30pm, I decided to do my christmas shopping. Thankfully, I was smart to get my dad to bring my slippers so I was walking from one end to the other end to the other end to yet again the other end, cracking my head on what to buy. Am still wondering what to get my mom. Any ideas?

Busy busy busy

2006-12-11T15:28:00.000+08:00

It will be a busy end of the year for me. Heading up to Penang on saturday for my grandma's 80th birthday celebration. Leading up to that day, there are loads of things to be done such as packing bowls and chopsticks which will be given to relatives who are attending the dinner. Some relatives will be flying over from Melbourne for the occassion and after that, my mom's uncle and aunt will be putting up at our place. So that means that we have to tidy up the place and the room for them. Now that I'm working, this would mean that only my mom would be doing all the above.

Thank goodness it's a public holiday for Selangor today. Managed to visit the dentist, who drained too much money from me, and got a few things done.

I just bought Josh Groban's latest album and am enjoying it so far. You definitely need a good stereo system to play this cd to enjoy it.

Ok, toodles! Nothing else to blog about...again!

Anyways haven't got anything to write.

Have a good week!

Death Note

2006-11-26T15:29:00.000+08:00

Just watched Death Note just now. With such a title I was sceptical of watching it at first thinking it was a horror movie but really, it's not. It's more of a mystery/investigative story which had an ending I didn't quite enjoy. There were actually quite a few funny parts here and there admist all the people dying which was quite amusing. Anyway my friend was telling me how this movie is actually based on a comic and they didn't quite follow it. It's actually more complex in the comic than the storyline of the movie. Oh well, it was still enjoyable.

Argh, it's monday again tomorrow.

Parent-free weekend

2006-11-25T15:30:00.000+08:00

Parents are away for the weekend which means that I can do anything I want including watching tv without getting interrupted or eating fast food for lunch.

Watched Casiona Royale on thursday courtesy of my company. The movie was alright, filled with action from the very begining till the end. My only comment is that, why him as James Bond?!?!?!

I realise that whenever I'm working, I have all this ideas of what to blog about but when I actually sit in front of the computer, somehow the juices don't start flowing.

The Adventure in a Warehouse

2006-11-12T21:20:00.000+08:00

There is no need really for me to go pay an entrance fee to an amusement park where I won't find anything amusing or enjoyable. All I need to do, is just go for a stock take in a warehouse, hop into the cage of a forklift and voila. There you have it. Your very own ride. For a person who's afraid of heights, I wasn't looking forward to that. I was hoping and praying that I wouldn't have to go allll the way up there to count something. Alas. No such luck. Cos the other person I went with is equally afraid of heights. So in the end we both held on tight and went up anyway, with our eyes closed and cringing whenever the forklift moved. The worker who went up with us must have found it very amusing to see the look on our faces. Ugh. Thank goodness that's over and done with.

And that about sums up the exciting event that happened during the weekend.

2006-11-10T21:51:00.000+08:00

Woohoo! Cecelia Ahern has a new book out. It's called 'A Place Called Here'. I'm so going out tomorrow to get it. She's a fantastic writer and I love all her books. One of her books, 'P/s I Love You' is going to be made into a movie so that's definitely a must see for me.

I'm now half watching a movie called 'Celullar' on tv. It's pretty exciting though I don't really know what's happening haha. It's ending soon anyway.

Sigh, will be working this weekend. Hopefully the hours won't be too long but I have to be at the warehouse at 7.45 in the morning! Nooooo there goes my sleeping in for the weekend.

Arghhh I just opened my mobile phone bill. I knew it was going to be high at the rate I was using my phone. Aaaaaaaaaaaa I sent 14 bucks worth of international smses and 101 local smses. This is what work does to me. When I get stressed/bored I'll start smsing people. And I just realised that it's a 100 minute plan meaning I get 100 minutes of free calls. Ladida. Must find ways to cut down cos I want to get a car.

Anyways that shall be all for today cos my laptop is getting a bit too hot for my liking and I want to catch the ending of Celullar. Have a good weekend!

What happened to the weekend?!

2006-11-05T22:33:00.000+08:00

Noooooo the weekend should not only last for 2 days. It's not enough! Where did it go??? I need more time to relax! I wanna retire! :p

*Snaps back to reality*

Sigh. I have to work next weekend. Both Sat AND Sun. Hope that I won't have to work too long on sunday though. Why la you have to assign me to do stocktake during the weekend?! We need the weekend to recuperate from the long hours during the week so that we can function properly the following week.
Ladida, I really should stop complaining bout work.

Today my mom asked me how come I don't go meet up with my friends. Er, maybe cos they're too busy resting or studying? She wanted me out of the house or rather out of her sight cos apparently, I pull this long face when I'm at home. *Shrugs* Can't help it, am still in transistion mode.

I got my hair cut yesterday and didn't realise how long it has gotten until I looked at the floor after it was cut. And now it's a bit too short! And I look like a mushroom!

Anywhos, will try to blog more cos I feel better actually after doing so.

Good luck for exams and have a great week!

2006-11-03T22:14:00.000+08:00

Fine... I'll try to blog more but it's just that the last thing I want to do after coming back from a long day of work is face the computer screen again. All I do nowadays online is just check my email and that's it. But since some of you guys have been bugging me to blog...here you go.

The trip to Melb was good of course except for the fact that I didn't expect it to be that cold and I got scolded by my mom for telling her to leave her thick jackets behind. Anyway, managed to bring back all of my stuff with somemore luggage weight allowance to spare but didn't have the space in our suitcases. Contributed lots to the retail industry making my dad a bit poorer and me with no more cupboard space. And yes, I still have clothes in my luggage and I don't really see myself unpacking that since I don't really have the time to clear my cupboards! But I really should...soon.

Work has been...blah. Good sometimes, not so good sometimes. It's alright if you're working with approachable and friendly workmates and well, not too good if you're not. I so need to get a car soon cos it sucks to rely on other people and parents for transport.

On the lighter side of things, I got my first pay! It is not much but WOO HOO! Finally had the time to withdraw some today so I'm going to treat my family to dinner tomorrow. As for you girls back in Melb, we'll go for roti prata! :D

I don't really have much to blog about not unless you want to come here everytime to see me whine about work cos so far, that's all I have going on. Okies, I gotta run. Till next time, tata!

Melbourne, here I come!

2006-10-22T15:44:00.000+08:00

Will be leaving for Melbourne tonight. Woohoo! Though it is only a short trip but still, it's better than nothing. Can't believe that my graduation day is here. My, time really does fly.

I guess now would be a good time to leave KL for a while with the haze. Poo-ey. It's been quite bad these few days. Terrible.

Anywho, will be back soon and if time permits, I shall continue with more pictures from Japan and hopefully, some from Melbourne!

Take care and Selamat Hari Raya! Enjoy the holidays! And all the best for those who are sitting for exams. Jia you!

It's Been One Week

2006-10-09T23:50:00.000+08:00

Yep. It has been one week since I started working. It hasn't been going great if you're wondering. There's nothing special or fantastic about working. I am in fact banging my head against the wall silently wondering why on earth did I apply for this job. Sigh.

Just wanted to say thanks to the girls who helped lift my spirits up a bit just now when I was bummed out cos I was working late at some client's place. I just got back bout 1.5 hours ago and thank God tomorrow is a public holiday for me so I can relax at home for a while.

That would be all. Good night.

Japan Part 1

2006-09-20T15:18:00.000+08:00

Here's the summary of my trip to Tokyo. We spent 10 days there and the main reason why we were there was because my cousin was getting married there. Yes, to a Japanese girl.

Day 1

Arrived at 7 in the morning after transiting at Kota Kinabalu. It takes 2 hours from KL to KK and 5 hours from KK to Narita, Tokyo. Don't ask why we transitted at KK, my aunt did the booking. We stayed at Shinjuku near a subway station called Akebonobashi. It was very important to remember the station's name as there are so many stations! And different lines! Also, I was sort of the assistant navigator. Spend the day around Shinjuku and familiarising ourselves with that place. It didn't work of course because a few days later we couldn't find our way back to Isetan. Anywho, that night my cousin's father-in-law treated us to dinner. There was sashimi which I reluctantly took a piece and tried to chew and eat it as quickly as possible since it was only polite to do so. *bleh* Never again. Nah uh. I no like sashimi. Thank goodness the main was good!

There was octopus which I avoided and managed to pass it on to my uncle. There was even entertainment arranged for us! A professional shimasen player came to play for us. Although I had no idea what she was singing for half an hour, it was still enjoyable.

Day 2

Wedding day! Woke up pretty early to get ready and managed to find our way to the church by taxi. Luckily my cousin gave us a map so it was easy for us to get there. It was just a small and simple wedding service. Of course there were far more people on the bride's side while for my cousin's side was filled with foreigners! And we were the only one singing cos I don't think they knew how to sing. It was interesting to sing "What a Friend we Have in Jesus" in Japanese though. After the service and when everyone was satisfied with taking pictures, we went for lunch. The food was good and it was mainly western. We even had a small tea ceremony before that. I got an ang pau! :p At night we went to Shibuya for dinner. This is where the famous Shibuya crossing is. OMG. It was scary ok. There was like this sea of people crossing there everytime! You can't really see the amount of ppl in the pic but seriously, it was a large crowd. I am now so sick of Beyonce's Dejavu because I kept hearing it there.

Below is a picture a statue of a dog at Shibuya Station. Every morning, this dog would follow his master to the station and wait there for him till he comes back in the evening. One day, he walked his master there and waited. And waited. And waited. His master actually had a heart attack and passed away but the loyal dog would still wait there everyday for his master. So touching... Please ignore the girl, I have no idea who she is. She just happened to be there.

Day 3

Went for church in the morning then had a chinese buffet lunch courtesy of my cousin at Shinjuku. Then we headed for Asakusa. That was the original plan but we stopped at Akibashi which is also known as the Electric Town. This area is full of electronic stuff. From cameras, to hairdryers, to mobile phones and so on. Walked for a bit then headed for a cruise around Tokyo Bay. It was nice to see Tokyo at night with all the lights. Saw the Rainbow Bridge and fireworks at Disneyland. It was a 2 hour ride and it was starting to get boring after a while. But nearing the end of the cruise, we were entertained by 2 hawaiian people! A dancer and a ukelele (however you spell it) player. That was nice. Had a really late dinner at a place where we had to keep our shoes in individual cupboards using a wooden block as a key. It was alright if not for some people's smelly feet.

I think I may have to do this in 3 parts. Part 2 will come along soon!

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

2006-09-15T16:01:00.000+08:00

Went to watch it last night because my brother bought some charity tickets from his friend. Let's just say that I don't think it was worth RM20 but at least he has done a small bit for charity since he paid for it. It was funny, not that kind of hillarious funny but rather it's the "Omg. I can't believe they actually did that.So stupidddd." kinda funny. Yep, I rolled my eyes a few times in the cinema cos I can't believe Uma Thurman was actually in it. Anyway, if you're planning to watch, don't. Not unless you reallllllllllllllly want to. And don't watch with your family. Really. There are a few scenes where it gets a bit uncomfortable. Especially if you are sitting next to your brother. Lastly, I miss the cinema seats in Aussie!!! The ones here are too small and not comfy enough!

Guitar

2006-09-12T15:25:00.000+08:00

Read about this video on Youtube this morning in the papers. This korean guy is really good with the guitar! He's playing a rock version of Pachabel's Canon in D. Fantastic. Be patient though, the video is 5 minutes long but it's worth the wait.

And yes, am finally back from the land of the rising sun with 2 blisters, one on each foot, and a tired body. It was a lovely but tiring trip. Will blog more about it soon.

Happy Independence Day!

2006-08-31T15:02:00.000+08:00

Happy Merdeka to all Malaysians near and far! Sorry you don't get to enjoy the public holiday. Heh. I'm so mean.

I'm nearly all packed up to leave for Japan later. I just need to put a couple of stuff in and then I'm done. And please, don't say that I'm unpatriotic like someone (you know who you are!) or something like that just cos I'm going out of the country. Since my flight is at night, I am technically still spending the day in Malaysia itself.

It's getting dark. I hope it rains but not now though. Some naughty cat decided to throw up (yes!) on the roof outside my brother's window and it's stinky. Absolutely foul. So we need heavy rain to get rid of it. Bad cat!

Take care and hopefully I'll have pictures to share when I get back!

I asked for rain and it stormed

2006-08-26T11:59:00.000+08:00

Yep. I was just complaining to my friends in Melbourne how hot it was getting over here and how hazey it has been. Then the day after, it stormed. It stormed yesterday too. So it wasn't too hot but then all the heavy rain caused floods, jams and disruptions to the LRT. Heh. I asked for rain, but not for it to storm.

Anyway, I wasn't even home to run for cover everytime there was thunder and lightning. Have been busy shopping (more like walking from one shop to another while my mom makes up her mind) cos we're heading to Japan! Hope it won't be too hot and hopefully it won't rain cos if it does, how are we suppose to go sight-seeing. And yes, I am aware that I do complain about the weather one too many times.

2006-08-09T20:53:00.000+08:00

Aiii. It's August already. Poo-ey...

Haven't been doing much since I got back. Been kicking back and relaxing and doing nothing productive. Although I've been running errands for my family since I'm like so free. I likey. TV rocks when you have Astro cos you get 24 hours of cartoons! But then I have to fight with 2 other people for it but am not complaining since I get control of it from morning till mid-afternoon. Can't complain.

But...I want to complain bout the weather! I don't know why but it's so hot today. If only I was back in Melb. Back to the cold. And no, I'm not nuts. I like cold weather.

*yawn* Nothing to blog about. So I shall post some pictures instead! They're quite random so...

My new pig. Cute?

The mother of all fattyness

Before: A plate of waffles & strawberries and chocolate pizza at Max Brenner!

After: we are such piggies!

Eh? Since when the plane has a blue exterior?

So prettyyy....

Home

2006-07-29T14:46:00.000+08:00

I'm home. Yes, for good. Haven't got much to blog since not much has been happening unless you think killing mozzies and yelping at the sight of roaches and lizards are exciting.

The flight back was alright. It wasn't full so I managed to get away with 8kg of overweight baggage. I had the chance to sit next to this cute mixed chinese-ang moh guy but I switched with my dad so that I could bug my mom. Was happily watching movies (on demand rocks) then I got tired and decided to sleep when there was only 1.5 hours left of the flight while my mom still continued to watch movies. Bleh.

Am I happy to be home? Yes and no. If you've ever been in my situation you would know what I mean. But thank God for MSN.

One Red Paperclip

2006-07-13T14:09:00.000+08:00

Was reading some news online when I saw an article about a man who managed to trade one red paperclip for a house. There were a few other trades that happened in between of course. You can read about how he managed to end up with a house by starting with a paperclip here.

Watched Pirates of Caribbean 2 on Tuesday. It was fantastic and hillarious! Just wished that they didn't leave us hanging at the end. Now we have to wait patiently for the 3rd one next year. Apparently, there's a small scene when the credits are rolling. Didn't manage to catch that as we left as soon as it finished. But at least I found out that it was something small. Unlike X-Men3.

My walls are so bare now. I've taken down all my posters, 9 in total. It feels weird now. Sort of how it was when I just moved in. Sigh.

Results are out!

2006-07-12T16:39:00.000+08:00

I passed all my subjects! ALLELUIA! Praise the Lord!

Thank you to those who prayed for me!

WOO HOO! I'm graduating!

Daddy's (little?) Girl

2006-07-04T12:42:00.000+08:00

"So did mom tell you bout the squishy squishy squash squash bag?"

"-.- If you're talking bout the vacuum space bag, yes."

*slaps forehead*

"I can't dismantle my fan since I wasn't the one who put it together in the first place."

"Oh. So you need daddy to do it for you? Aiyahhhhh..."

Yes. I may be 21 years of age (22 is coming along soon...) but I guess I'll always be daddy's little girl. I just need to whine a lil and he'll get things done for me. Well. Sometimes only lar. Like how I always get him to help me put new bedsheets on my mattress. My mattress is just too darn heavy ok. So in turn I always help him with his bed. That is one of the few(or is it many) things that my brother will probably not help him with. Just now, I think he was sorta hinting that there was no one to help him wash his car since I usually do when I'm home. Sigh. I guess my mom is right (aren't they always). My dad does spoil me sometimes. I'm his little girl. *Grins*

Anyways, I have started cleaning my room (yay!). Managed to sort through my shelf and sort stuff into different piles: yes, no, maybe and stuff to be given to friends. But as Hui Yin would beg to differ, there are actually more piles than that. :S Haven't been doing much cleaning the past few days. Wonder what happened to the adrenaline rush I had that day? Watching Queer Eye didn't help either. Maybe I'll try again later...

2006-06-26T13:01:00.000+08:00

Am getting a bit tired of answering the same question over and over again. NO. I won't be applying for my PR and no matter what you say I'm not going to change my mind. It doesn't matter that I should have no problem in getting it and no, it doesn't matter that if I decide that I don't want to stay in Aust after getting my PR I can just go home. Nah uh.

Heard from my mom that there's been a lot of mishappenings back home. Someone got mugged, someone got raped near where I stay etc. Aiii

I have yet to start packing. Should start soon. But for now I'm going to watch tv (Hope & Faith is on followed by Less Than Perfect). Then err maybe I'll start packing after doing some reading. Just borrowed Kathy Lette's How To Kill Your Husband (And Other Handy Household Hints). Hope it's good.

Over

2006-06-20T14:37:00.000+08:00

My last paper was over on Friday but yet it hasn't sunk in yet. A part of me is happy that exams are done and over with but am just scared bout one of my subjects. Pray for me alright? That I managed to pass all my subjects for me to graduate.

Holidays are meant to be fun no? Maybe it's cos the girls just did their last paper this morning and I was suppose to go galavanting in the city with them but my back prevented me from doing so. It's been aching since Sunday but it got worse this morning. At least it's not too bad now. Now, that's a good excuse to not start packing my room.

Ugh. I'm not liking time very much right now. Or that time of the month either.

World Cup

2006-06-13T11:45:00.000+08:00

Australia won 3-1 against Japan during their match this morning! I was watching the last ten minutes thinking, "Ai. No chance already I think. The most they can do is prob score to draw." Then BAM! Aust scored. Hui Yin, who was supposed to be in bed since she had an exam this morning msged me about it but I couldn't be bothered to reply yet. A few minutes later, BAM! Another one! And this time I msged her. Then she came knocking on my door soon after, just as Aust scored another one! Wow. It was really a good game.

And no. I haven't been hit with the World Cup fever. Yet. I still have exams to study for.

Can it get any colder??? Wait. Don't answer that. I'm tired of wearing 2 pants and 3 jackets to bed. It's too cold. :S

One Down

2006-06-09T15:00:00.000+08:00

The first exam did not go well. But at least everyone else found it real tough as well so there's this big hoo hah discussion happening on the discussion board. I felt like whacking the lecturer in charge on the head when he walked around the exam room yesterday. But nah, he's too nice a guy actually. Other than him setting this hard paper, I have nothing against him.

I can't believe how cold it was when I woke up at 6.30 yesterday morning. It was 4 degrees! Reached the exam venue early and spent nearly an hour waiting for them to open the doors. It had to be windy too. Brrr. 2 more morning papers to go. But then again, I'd rather have morning papers than afternoon ones.

Anyway I have to get back to studying since I haven't touched my other 2 subjects yet. I can't believe how time flies. One more week till the end of exams. Yes, I don't believe how I can't believe so many things.

Have a good weekend!

The JCB Song

2006-06-03T14:21:00.000+08:00

Go check this song out my Nizlopi called "JCB Song". Watch the video clip if you can cos it's really cute and nice! The song and the video clip can be found here.

"Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB."

The Last Day of Uni

2006-06-02T12:30:00.000+08:00

Whooosh. That was time passing by. Gosh, I can't believe it. Uni is nearly over for me. Just need to get through 3 papers and it will all be over, hopefully. Am extremely worried over my first paper. Gulp.

Somehow, we managed to squeeze in 3 movies in one week! Take The Lead, X- Men 3 and R.V. They were quite satisfying but I thought that X-Men 3 was a tad bit too short. Oh and don't forget to stay until the credits have rolled.

Had a really good final lecture yesterday despite the fact that that unit has been somewhat controversial for the past semester. "I thank him for being here to give us a good kick where the sun don't shine." LOL. I can't believe one of the lecturer said that bout the other lecturer who's leaving Monash. And yep, he was the reason of all the hoo ha's that happened. And I can't believe that he actually threw people out of the lecture yesterday. Again!

Anyway, it's been a great semester. Oh fine. Not really. It was alright. And now, it's crunch time.

All the best to all those sitting exams! We can do it!

Dreams

2006-05-24T16:47:00.000+08:00

It suddenly struck me. I had a dream last night and was just thinking about it. It was actually a recurring dream! Yikes! I think this is the second time I've dreamt about it. All the running and hiding and saving someone. No wonder I had a hard time waking up this morning.

Wonder what it means...

Presentations

2006-05-24T14:49:00.000+08:00

Who doesn't like giving presentations? *waves hand in the air*

Remember my 4,000 word report, well I managed to crap out 3,000 words and now I have to do a presentation for it. Also worth another 25% and it's a 15 minute presentation. And it's done in a professional corporate kind of way. Everyone has to dress up and it is held in this meeting room. It runs over 2 weeks and mine is next week. I had to sit through 9 presentations this morning while spacing out at a few of them.

We were told time and time again not to be late for the presentations as marks would be taken off us. It was supposed to start at 9.30am and promptly at 9.30am I saw a few people rushing in wondering if they were late. So we were waiting, and was told that the person who was supposed to come had some car trouble and is running very late. Hmmm, so can we take marks off her?

There were some interesting topics that people chose to do (we were allowed to pick any topic) like someone trying to open a nightclub, self-service kiosks at this fast food place called "Monster Burger" (the presenter even gave everyone a gummi burger!) and errr yea that is all I remember. I know someone presented this whole topic off another subject so I was definitely spacing out during that one. Someone else, who I think has not been attending his tutes, copied and pasted his entire report into the slides, or at least that was what it looked like to me. There were a few other comments so hopefully I'll remember them and try to do a good job next week. Oh well, we were told that as long as we're there and somehow manage to get through presenting, we're definitely passing it. So *phew*

Anyway...it's been so hard to get up these few mornings! Too cold! Winter is coming... and so is the end of uni for me.

Let It Rain

2006-05-17T14:16:00.000+08:00

I remember waking up in the middle of night thinking "Wouldn't it be nice if it was raining?"
I have no idea why that popped into my mind but then when I think about it, I like it when it rains in the middle of the night. Maybe it'll rain tonight.

I feel stressed. I have a lot of stuff to do but yet I'm not even thinking of doing it. I just want to play Bejeweled. Thanks to my friend who started the game and left because he's in the middle of the class. I know I'm just playing it by myself and it's not a vs. game but it's no fun playing by yourself.

Amy, I'm very sorry but I lost the snoopy pin thingy you gave. :( I noticed that it was gone when I was packing my bag after my tute and I retraced my steps to find it but to no avail. And no, I'm not stressed about that. It's just, gone.

2006-05-13T16:41:00.000+08:00

I take it back. I only know how to do one question. Hope I get marks for effort. Sigh.

Uh oh

2006-05-13T13:28:00.000+08:00

It was a crazy night last night and I shall not elaborate on that cos errr, I said so.

Anyhow, am trying very hard to do my tute work which needs to be handed in for grading (feels like I'm back in school again) and I have no freaking idea how to answer the first question and the second question. Incidentally, they're both theory questions and I didn't really get what the lecturer was yapping about. Sigh. I'm just going to have to write some bullshit. Oh well, at least I know how to do the other two questions. I think.

Am quite happy that my assignment was extended so now instead of it being due on thursday, it's due on monday. I am so not taking this assignment seriously which I should since it's 25% and another 25% is for my 15 minute presentation based on my assignment, which I don't know when it is because that subject is a bit kelam-kabut now ever since the lecturer had to take emergency leave for the rest of the semester. Ok, that sentence was too long and I'm sure I made some errors but I don't care.

And now, it's back to writing crap for my tute. arggghhh *pulls hair out*

2006-05-11T23:04:00.000+08:00

Have you ever felt like you can't fall asleep after a certain time no matter how hard you try? That's what I feel like right now. Sigh.

There's nothing to watch on tv now either.

My mom got her card today. There's still hope left for the Malaysian post.

I just saw an advert... Love Actually will be on tv on Sunday! *I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toessss, Christmas is all around me....*

Fine. I'll stop singing cos if not someone's gonna blame me if it rains.

Gnite!

2006-05-09T14:44:00.000+08:00

There's only 3 more weeks left of uni, not counting this week. Too fast too fast. *gulps*

Just in case you've forgotten or have been living in a shell for the past few weeks or you are my brother, it's Mother's Day on Sunday so go do something nice for your mom. And don't forget to send a card if you're overseas. Let's just hope that my mom will get my card. Last year's didn't arrive and she even still had the cheek to ask me if I put the airmail sticker on it, which I had to explain that that's not necessary because Aussie stamps with the blue line mean that it's airmail. Oh well.

As some of you know, one of my favourite pastimes is to disturb people. So I had this conversation with my dad yesterday:

Me: Mommy told me that koko's treating her on Sunday.

D: Yes...but he told her to pick a place.

M: Wahahhaa make sure she picks somewhere expensive! Btw, errr, so he's treating mommy, then what about you?

D: Aaaaa...

M: Or do you have to wait for Father's Day?

D: Aaaaa... Have to go negotiate with him. If not then I'll just stay home. Haha

M: Yea, then you can go eat KFC instead.

D: Yummy!

My brother is a scrooge. A kiam sap fellow. Oh well, at least he's paying for the Astro since he asked for it...and he had to decide to fix it when I'm not around! AAAAHHHH.

I should be studying now but... it's just so hard to start.

Birthday shout outs!

2006-05-06T12:48:00.000+08:00

Firstly,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MALFOY who turns 22 today!!! So sorry that err you won't be receiving a card this year cos I actually forgot bout your birthday until 2 days ago. *hangs head down* So you get to kick my ass when I go back.

Ok. Next.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MELANIE who turns 22 tomorrow!!! Hope you have a good one and I read that you're going to Scotland soon??? Dang. Then I guess we'll just have to meet up when you get back.

Here comes another one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TRISHA who also turns 22 tomorrow as well and who never reads my blog, I think. But nonetheless I feel obligated to wish her here too since she is my granddaughter. Yep. And I think she too will be going to somewhere, Ireland or something, for goodness knows how long. So I have no idea when I'll be able to see her.

Have to run. Going grocery shopping in 15 minutes and I can't believe that Hui Yin just woke up! it's 3pm!!!

I'll never let Amy and Syl watch sports in my room anymore. They are incredibly noisy and they scold the players so much and shout so freaking loud that I think my neighbour might have been wondering what in the world were we doing shouting at 1 am.

Anyway, toodles, I have to go study a bit first for my test on Monday. And it's been pretty cold these few days. Oh and don't watch American Dreamz. It was just plain weird and is a waste of time and money. I don't care if you love Hugh Grant or Mandy Moore. It's just not worth it.

Retail Therapy

2006-04-29T00:35:00.000+08:00

What was suppose to be just lunch and grocery shopping ended up to be a full day affair (nearly) at Chadstone. Spent so much. ARGHHHH. But so far I'm happy with my purchases. Managed to get a cd(Keri Noble's Fearless-so far so good!) for 10 dollars which is considered cheap over here. Although, it's probably because the album is 2 years old. And I was wondering why it wouldn't play on windows media player and plays with some funny player. So I just happen to glance at the back of the cd to find this: "This disc contains Copy Control technology." Oh well. It still works on iTunes so no biggie for me.

Bought a purse cos I think my current one is jstarting to fall apart. Well sort of. Am very happy cos instead of costing $60 it was $40!Got 2 tops, one handbag and other small things. So in the end, I'm happy but my feet hurt and my bank balance is considerably less.

Blogger is down at this very moment. I'll just have to post this later.

It's 2.28am and am still awake. What happened was that, I was suppose to sleep a while ago, but I was hungry so I ate something and it would be piggish of me to go to bed now. Can't sleep in tomorrow cos we're playing badminton. And I think after that we're going karaoking again! And on Sunday night we're going to watch Stephen K Amos at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Should be good.

I just realised that I actually got disconnected from the internet. So it's not blogger's fault. Geeze. Stupid ISP!

Alright. I think I shall go try to sleep. Maybe the rain will help me fall asleep.

2006-04-21T11:31:00.000+08:00

I can't believe it's Friday already! There goes my holiday but it's been crazy but pretty fun so far. Sleeping late, waking up early, walking too much, yada yada yada but most importantly spending time with friends! Can't believe we're halfway through the semester already. Gulp.

Let's see. In a span of one week, we watched 5 movies: She's the man (which was good. hillarious. entertaining.), the 3 movies from the marathon and Ice Age 2 the other day! Ice Age 2 was good. Go watch it!

After Ice Age on Tuesday, we followed Amy to the Alfred Hospital near the city cos she had to go to the library there. Then we managed to find our way to Smith Street before it closed. After that we went to Lygon for dinner and Koko Black! Thanks Amy for the chocs and err Yin, it's been a week and I haven't finished one more bunny yet! Will post up pics of them later. A bit lazy now. Hee.

Wednesday came along. Went to the city. Walked around but came back empty handed. Hmph. I wanted to get a new handbag cos I tore the zip. Whoops. It wasn't my fault! Amy made me mad so yea. Hehehe. No lar. It was about time it tore anyway. Overall, it was a very unsatisfying trip, shopping wise.

Since I was unsatisfied I dragged Yin to Chadstone. Finally found a bag. Yay. As I was getting comfortable, more like dozing off, on Yin's bed, we or rather they suddenly decided to go out for dinner with Amy's friend. Had to much too eat so we ended up walking around in Chadstone(again!) for a while only since the shops were already closing.

It's no wonder that my feet are aching. It's been raining the whole morning. Nice. I wonder if the girls are still asleep. Maybe not Syl since she's always the first to wake up and I saw her plant (called pretty) outside. We're going karaoking! It is gonna pour!

I can't believe my mom is more happening than me! Some friends of hers are going gaga over Korean dramas at the moment. So she told me bout this show called, "My Lovely Sam-soon" that's showing back home and how one of the guy is good looking but none of her friends want to watch it cos the main actress is not pretty. :S Well, I'm watching it too cos I found out that Syl has it and I borrowed it. I shall never watch it with Amy ever again cos she just makes too much noise. Hmph. Ok. I'm going to watch the next episode. Tata!

Ish. Now only Yin comes online.

2006-04-17T04:31:00.000+08:00

Ooh look. It's 6.30 a.m. now. I look out the window, and I see that the sun is rising. Nice.

So why on earth am I awake now when I have this whole week off? Because, at the very last minute, we decided to go for the movie marathon. It's 3 movies from 10.30pm onwards for a price of AUD19. So at 11.00 p.m., we decided to catch the one that starts at 11.50.

It was an interesting experience although I only enjoyed one movie (guess which one is it: eight below, scary movie 4 and the shaggy dog).

So we got back bout an hour ago and since it's way past my bedtime, I wasn't sleepy. So I thought it would be a good idea to do some studying. Maybe it was the lil meal I had. Or the warm water. Or being in my pyjammas. Oh well, I'll just blame it on the heater. I'm actually getting a bit sleepy now. I opened my book just now, "read" through some pages and finally gave up, since nothing was making sense.

Although I do feel slightly tired, I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep. And I can't study. And it's 8 degrees now. This is just such a totally random post.

I actually had some stuff to blog about during the past week. But didn't get round to it cos I was sick and spent many hours of the day in bed. And now, I can't remember what it was. I think I hit my head one too many times. A total of 2 last night.

What to do what to do. Oh my. It's bright already. It's never this bright at home during this hour. Well at least it wasn't 4 years ago where I spent every weekday waiting for the bus at 6.45 a.m.

I don't know what I'm going to do. Can't read, can't sleep, there's nothing to watch on tv. I know. I'll just sing and hopefully no one can hear me and I hope my neighbour is not in.

Good Morning!!!

The Thread In Our Lives

2006-04-09T11:35:00.000+08:00

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a Mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathised, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured, you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with the farmer around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called Life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSONS TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

2006-04-06T16:52:00.000+08:00

I have a sinking feeling that I'm falling sick. But I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's here for only a day. Nose has been feeling funny all day. Been sneezing more often than usual and it's slightly itchy as well.

I blame the weather. It was really chilly yesterday,9 degrees when I had to drag myself to uni at 5 something for my test(which was really terrible which means I'm in deep shit). A couple of days ago it was warm. The drastic change in weather is never good.

I'm gonna go snuggle in bed with Nicholas Spark's 'True Believer' and Honey bear.

Ugh. It's such a torture when you want to sneeze but you can't.

2006-03-29T15:02:00.000+08:00

It wasn't my fault. My bed looked so inviting, since I just changed my sheets. Mmm. I like the smell of fresh sheets. And Honey needed some hugging. So I hopped into bed and closed my tired weary eyes and gave Honey some TLC for errr 10 minutes. Then I had to drag myself off the bed and onto the uncomfortable chair which gave me a buttache a while ago, to work on my assignment.

My shoulders ache. And I thought it won't come back to haunt me anymore since it hasn't made an appearance for a long time.

2 tests next week. And an assignment. Whoopeedoo. Not complaining, cos I know there are other people out there who have it worse.

What if there was no lie

Nothing wrong, nothing right

What if there was no time

And no reason, or rhyme

What if I got it wrong

And no poet or song

Could put right what I got wrong

Or make you feel I belong

Every step that you take

Could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break

That's the risk that you take

The Inside Man

2006-03-26T13:57:00.000+08:00

Managed to watch the advance screening of The Inside Man yesterday. I think it was alright but I guess some people would have expected a bit more. So go into the movie with a low expectation.

Had fun watching athletics the past few days. Am a big fan of the guy from Jamaica who won the 100m sprint. Arafa or something is his name. He really is fast.

In other news, I have none. No inspiration to blog about anything.

Ok. ID check going on in the lab. Gtg.

2006-03-24T14:07:00.000+08:00

OMG. I can't believe this. I just realised that I did the wrong question from the textbook for one of my subjects and had to pass it up to the tutor on tuesday. Instead of doing question 5 of chapter 18, yours truly did PROBLEM 5 of chapter 18. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I spent an hour coming up the answer when I could have done the correct question in 10 minutes! UGH.

I just hope my tutor doesn't think I'm a nut case and email me back soon. I need all the marks I can get and this does not indicate that I'm kiasu or anything.

And it continues...

2006-03-22T14:11:00.000+08:00

First it was the escalators. Now it's the lifts. There are 2 lifts in the building. One has been out of order since last week. There's a sign on the lift: Maximum 10 people. That was last week. This week, I find that there are guards guarding the lift. Yep. 2 signs were added: Only for people going to level 5 & above. Disabled and staff with trolley gets priority.

Yep. They now station guards outside the lift area and inside the lift. You would think that this is some kinda swanky hotel or something. The guard even gets a seat in the lift. I'm not disabled nor am I a staff with a trolley but I need to get to the 9th floor every wednesday. Fortunately my class before that usually ends early so I beat the crowd by going in the middle of the hour.

Heh. Guards guarding the lift. Heh.

Isn't it just weird how some people remember you eventhough you hardly bump into them? But for those you see in uni every other day, they don't even recognise you! Or maybe that only happens to me.

Can't believe we're almost one third into the semester. I'm dreading week 6 which is 2 weeks from now. Oh wait. I'm dreading every week, every single day.

Reality bites.

Nanana. It's going to be 30 degrees this weekend. This ain't no autumn.

2006-03-19T12:56:00.000+08:00

I came to the library today in hopes of getting a few things done. Managed to do everything but one. Was suppose to borrow a book for extra reading (am not kiasu ok) so I had a backup plan just in case the book has been borrowed. Plan B was to borrow it from the reserve which means that I can't take it out of the library. The last time I checked online on Friday, the book was still available. But today it's not there. The library catalogue is down at the moment for some maintenance blah blah blah so I had to use this backup one they have on the comp and I don't know how to read it. It's just weird. Doesnt' tell you if any copies are available whatsoever. So I just tried my luck searching for it 2 floors up and in the reserve. Don't have. Not happy. So I've been in the library for the past one hour reading news, snooping on friendster(aw come on. as if you don't...?) yada yada. Still have another hour to kill. Oh wait. I just realised I've been here for slightly over 2 hours already. Webmessenger is screwed up and Hui Yin is not replying me.

Oh and the reason why I'm still in the library is that I'm a lazy ass. I dont' want to walk home and come back again for church later.

So anyway, the weekend has been alright. Had a get-to-know-your-neighbour party last night which was quite fun. Why are there so many ppl doing commerce?!

The major highlight of the week (other than the dumb escalators which btw they sent an email to explain it) is about the big hoo hah about one of my subjects. They had to change the lecture times last minute and in the end, the lecture times became 1-3 on thurs and 1-3 on friday. Obviously everyone would opt to come for the thurs class but obviously the puny lecture theatre just ain't gonna fit all 620 of us. So ppl allocated on the friday class came over and thurs and the lecture was just too full. Ppl sitting on the stairs, standing behind. Even someone I know grabbed a chair from outside and sat right in front. Lecturer wasn't too happy cos there's a safety precaution he has to adhere to. Can't have an overfhowing lecture theatre. So he told us that the next week, this happens, he's going to start taking attendance which will just waste time. So the 2nd week, STILL it was overcrowded. He lectured us about manners and how we are being inconsiderate. So last week, the 3rd class, he actually took attendance. There were ppl stationed at all 4 entrances of the lecture theatre and they had the class list. So obviously the lecture theatre wasn't full that day. So this meant that he spent 20 minutes checking the students and another 20 lecturing us bout manners yet again.

A few days before, he sent all the students an email bout the situation of the overcrowding. Then, some silly fella, sent a reply not only to him, but to the whole entire class. Hmmm, let's see. The lecturer said that was dispicable. And today I checked again and er the silly fella sent an apology email to everyone. Right. But what made the lecturer mad was that a student, sent a very rude email to him. Something bout, "with all due respect, I think what you said was crap." Lecturer obviously wasn't too happy bout that so he forwarded the email to the dean, disciplanary board and err don't know who else. Uh oh. Someone's in trouble.

Words that I just can't get out of my head at the moment:

Yummay!

La di da!

Mmm...

Songs stuck in my head:

Mentone Beach

2006-03-14T13:27:00.000+08:00

Went to the beach on Saturday since the it was forecasted to be a high of 33 but it changed to 28 degrees the night before. So we went to Mentone beach. There was hardly anyone actually on the beach. Most of them were either jogging or walking.

Just one of those pictures that make you roll your eyes.

Clear water!

Saw the Malaysian cycling team along the beach. Managed to take a very bad shot of them. They're the ones in the yellow shirts.

Yea, I put pink dots over them. Malaysia Boleh!!!

Anyway, remember last week I wrote bout the human jam in the humanities building because they're doing something to the escalators on the 2nd/3rd floor? Well, now they stationed a guard at the stairs to direct everyone to use the staircase at the west wing. Now, my classes are on the east wing. So, I had 5 minutes to get to my next tute from the 3rd floor. Took the staircase at the west wing, thinking that I could get onto the 1st floor from there. But noooooo. Only staff has access to the 1st floor from that staircase. So I had to walk all the way down, which brought me out of the building and I had to go back in by the main entrance and up the escalators to the 1st floor. I'm so using the east wing staircase next week.

Yup. And that's my excitement for the day.

Fine fine, I know it looks like they're a bit stunted. Too lazy to fix it. Just imagine them to be taller.
Got the coke for free(though it doesn't taste like much) and the penguin was F.O.C. too thanks to the Clubs & Society week.

33 degrees tomorrow! 36 on Sunday. *wipes forehead*

Whenever there is hot weather, cool weather will follow. It's nice and windy today. Nice.

I was nearly late for my second tutorial today because first, my first tutorial finished a bit late and second, eventhough it's just 2 floors down, it took me 3 minutes to go down. Why? Because the darn escalators on the 2nd floor are not working. So everyone has to use the stairs. And let's just say that between the 55th minute and the 5th minute of every hour, there are just too many people rushing around getting from class to class. Hence, a human jam at the stairs. It's nuts. And the escalators are going to be out of order till the end of the semester. I foresee squeezing myself through many human jams this semester.

So for two subjects, my tutors are my lecturers as well. As if it's not enough seeing them during the lecture already. Oh well, at least they switch lecturers halfway. Or something like that. One of my tutors remind me of my grandpa. The old, white haired man with spectacles. Yes Lynn. I have Alan Ramsay as my tutor. He even asked us to put out our homework on the table for inspection(tutorial preparation marks I think). And we were also instructed to write a name tag and stick it on for the whole entire class.

45 minutes till my next class. What shall I eat for lunch later?

And I'm so happy that Crash won an Oscar for the Best Picture!!! I must go get the DVD and watch it again.

It's been one week since I got back and the weather is worse than back home. Classes have been alright, since I only need to go to uni for 3 days.

My brain is still on holiday. Whenever the lecturer speaks, I just look in his/her direction and stone away. Apparently, you can tell the difference between a tired and bored yawn. I have no idea.

In the library at the moment enjoying the air con and printing my notes. Can't believe the printing costs has increased yet again. And I'm not going to buy a printer cos the last one died on me and I don't want to buy one since I'm only going to be here for another semester.

Went to the city yesterday to shop. Can't believe that we were on our feet for around 9 hours. Burnt a hole in my wallet too. Bought too much: 3 tops, one bag, skins for my nano (yipee!), socks, the rabbit from Wallace & Gromit, EDT from The Body Shop and errr something else I think. I spent 100 bucks at the Nike Factory Outlet at Smith Street. Nuts. So no more shopping for me for the next few weeks until Easter hols or something. That should be my penance for Lent. HAH.

OK. Yin just gave me a dirty stare cos I msged her on msn. And she's just next to me. *snigger*

Mmm. Running out of things to say. Nothing much has happened. Oh. There's this huge spider near my door. I wish it would go away.

Foooood

Ok. I meant to blog this entry yesterday but the page refused to load. Then, the internet was wonky.
So the one thing I will definitely miss when I'm back in Melbourne is, food. Not to say that Melb doesn't have good food, but I guess it's just different. So depending on what picture you see first, it should be in this order:
1. Chocolate brownie from Delicious
2. Melting Pot with marshmallows from Delicious too although my mom and I were wondering where's the pot
3. Some dessert pancake from Paddington House of Pancakes (don't remember the name but the number is 612 i think)
4. Drinks from Paddington
5. Another pancake from Paddington and again I can't remember the name, but it's number 911
6. Bread pudding my mom baked

Leaving for Melb tomorrow night. This time round, again, I didn't get to meet a few people. Next time ok? After all I'm coming back end of July. Should be. Hopefully. It had better be.

Sort of done my packing. Don't want to take too much over cos that will mean that I have even more to bring back.

So, I guess my next post will be from Melb where I think I have a lot of cleaning up to do. I left my room in a mess. Sigh.
Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.

Have a great weekend people!

Oh Silly Me...

Aiyah. Turns out that I actually read the mail wrongly. It's actually a 2 hour lecture and not two separate one hour lectures on two days. Oops. So I still do get Friday's off. Not too bad actually, since I get Monday's off *closes ear in anticipation of Amy's scream*. Hmmm, I have a tutorial on the 9th floor. Darn.

Oh and yes. I am awake at 4 am.

*Hangs head down*

Too kan cheong for nothing. Silly me.

ARGHHH

2006-02-20T12:02:00.000+08:00

What the...?!

For one of my subjects, they had to shift the lecture time slots to other days, including Fridays! Friday afternoons!!! Sheesh. Their reasoning is that they did not expect so many students to enrol in that subject. HELL-O! It's compulsory for students taking accounting and finance to take that subject and since they only offer this once a year... they should have known better! PLUS quite a lot of people failed this subject last year. There goes my free day. BAH.

Now I have to go rearrange my timetable. And they only decided to do this when?! When allocate plus is closed for sorting, meaning I won't be able to do anything till....oh wait. Tomorrow morning. Darn. Means that I have to wake up super early tomorrow since it opens at 7 am Aust time. And no, I'm not that silly to wake up at 4 am Malaysian time. In the words of Amy...BOOOOOOOOOOO.
