The pass few days have been relatively warmer in comparision....but still cold none the less. It's been raining quite a bit....weird how one would actually think that it would be cooler and stuff whenever it rains, but the fact is that the rain tends to cool the heated ground surface and hence the heat rises and stuff, making it warmer....well that's according to how someone was trying to explian it to me....oh well!
Anyway, started real early in school once again....had my first class at 8am-Surface Anatomy. Pretty slack lah today coz we only did landmarking on the bodies and measuring stretch stature and mass....so pretty easy lah! Kind of a short day for me today in uni....had class from like 8-11am then a break followed by another lecture from 2-3pm. Went home after my morning classes, and I tell u i had to drag my darn ass out of the house again for one more bloody lecture...u know, its just that kind of feeling that's so sian and because u're already in the comfort of ur own home, U just dun wish to step out of the darn house again!
Went out with my mates- Aaron,MJ and Edwin right after OB lecture to just chill out in town. Walked about here and there but told myself that I couldn't buy anything coz i think its high time i shd save a little and like cut down on my shopping expenditure...not that in the first place I even spend a lot, but yea just save ya! Had coffee and Gloria Jean's Cafe and spent our time there just chatting and stuff.....sounds so dull and boring right? But its good lah...when u are hanging out with ur mates and if u guys get along....its loads of fun, and the topics that u can chat and share abt is just so vast and unlimited. For dinner, we headed to Matsuri ( i think that's how u spell it) this Jap place....its a pretty nice and dandy place, and the guys thought that the female waitresses there were like chio and all....but i think we gals didn't really give a shit abt it. Anyway, this place is supposedly to be quite a good eatery, and apparently the side dish of raw beef is like solid. Well we did try it and I must admit it was pretty nice, despite the fact that my friend telling me it raw beef and i'm not really into raw stuff....but yea...it was nice! I had Katsudon, and for its value, its pretty worth it, so stuffed after that!
Can't imagine how another week in uni has just gone by...it's been like so fast, not that i wanna complain abt it, but time really flies I tell u! One day I find myself just waking up for an early morning monday lecture and next thing I know...it's fri, wow! But all's good so far....work load hasn't really set it....not looking forward to it though, especially my psychology lab report writing which I really dread doing!
Anyway, Jess my little sister has finally told me that she received my package to her. Was her birthday last sunday and I mailed this Birthday present back for her. Bought her this Asics running shorts and top....I reckon it looks good on her....can just picture it. She's a great short distance runner....unlike me, can't sprint for nuts!!! Mum told me that she cried when she read the card I wrote and that she really loves the present so much. Well, I'm glad she does....aferall its the least i could do for her, and since its one of her passions, I figured that it would come in handy! Really miss her so much now man...wished I could have been there for her, somehow I feel as if I have this sense of responsibility for her.....and I feel as if I'm missing out frompart of her life. But yea, she's a great sis! Love ya gal...train hard, study hard and play hard ya!
It's such a dreary and monotonous day for me today. Feeling extremely tired and lethargic, I dunno why either...but it's like I never felt this tired before since the semester started. Maybe it's the cold bleak winter weather,maybe it's my irregular hours of sleep or maybe it's because my darn lessons started at a pathetic 8am this morning!
SIghz, I dunno how I'm gonna be able to keep up with this early morning lessons started at a ridiculous 8am in the morning on Wednesdays and Fridays! To make things even better...my first 8am lesson on Weds are jump rope sessions! Had my first jump rope class today...and I tell u, from the looks of it,I so think that I'll be having to do loads of practices if I wanna keep up! Shit! Grant (my jump rope tutor...how lane right! I mean who the hell has a jump rope TUTOR!) was giving my class a rough demo of what we were more or less expected to do and master by the end of the semester....I tell u...HE IS HELL GOOD! U shd have seen it for urself, coz my entire class just sat that eyes wide open, jaw dropped and locked. He was like some freaking PRO lah, apart from the fact that he has like 8 yrs experience teaching skipping, doing all sorts of weird and funny stunts along to some funky upbeat music that I foresee myself to have a lot of problems trying to master!Considering the fact that the last time i recalled playing with skipping ropes was during that of my primary school days...and that I kinda only knew how to skip in one direction - that being the usual forward kind stuff! Ok...and i thought skipping was suppose to be fun and all....this is turning out to be pretty torturous for me man! The things I put myself through at times!
Was so tired man, came home after school and napped for abt 2 1/2 hours...but unfortunately i still feel tired. The pass few days have been so boring for me that I've seriously nothing interesting to blog about! All i've been doing...wake up, go uni, come home, eat, internet, sleep....how sad right!
Ahhhh....goody, yummy hot aromatic cup of coffee infront of me! Damn...I'm a typical coffee addict man, I LOVE COFFEE...just like my Daddy...he simply makes the best black coffee in the world and I miss drinking it! Don't believe, can go ask the ppl who come to our house to drink it!!!! DADDY...when I come back must make for me,nothing beats it and even comes close...thick,strong and fragrant!
Anyway, yea, kinda aching now....hahah,went to the gym just now...attended BODY PUMP session! WoohooO! hahah! It's good fun. And guess what my dear friends...I shall now proclaim on my blog that I have the blurest housemate...CHELSEA...U're a TOOTFACE lah! I have seriously nothing to say to this gal man! Anyway, just for the sake of the rest of u guys, I shall be nice and share ( and chels,no offence, i still LUB u for who u are...i can't help it!)
I have finally given up waking this gal from her sleep in the morning...why u might ask? COZ there NO use! Hahaha! Not that her classes even start as early as mine! She starts her day on average ard 12pm...compared to my 9am classes...and she still can't drag herself out of bed! CHELSEA TING ah!
SCENE 1: Monday night..."hey Ja, wake me up before u leave for class tmr k, I got class at 11am to 1pm! Remember ok, must wake me up!" ....so next morning, go to her bed, wake her up and she say...."ok..ok...will get up soon!" But NO.....when i return home from sch at 1pm...i still see this gal sleeping on her bed! SHE WIN LIAO!Wake her up and she goes "HUH? (goes all whiny)...aiyah, never mind" ...and goes back to sleep! KAO!
SCENE 2: last night told me that she starts class at 1pm...came home at about 1.30pm saw her in her room...stared at her saying" chels! dun tell me u overslept again!" .....and in her defence(in her ever innocent voice)..."NO...i went to sch, but no one was in the lecture theatre! I walk here, walk there, walk everywhere...but no one, so i came home! I think they dun like me...how ja?" So I really thought maybe she got the wrong lect room number! Later, I hear this tootface laughing and telling me that her lecture actually started at 12pm instead of 1pm and it was the correct LT that she went too...but it was empty coz the lecture ENDED! OH MY GOODNESS! CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U're a joke lah....okok,now now, dun get angry with me ok...but dun u agree u're quite a TOOT! :P
Anyway...if u wanna know what happened over the weekend, go check out Chelsea's Blog "A weird train ride which ended in a time warp' and read it, coz i'm too lazy to type whatever happened...but all i can say was that it was really amusing and entertaining a night! No point repeating the long long story over again....so yea...just go read it lah, dun ask so much!
Second week of sch....ok lah, still adjusting and getting back on form! Been hanging out with my human movement course mates the pass few days....went to the Belgium Beer Bar along King's Street yesterday afternoon to just chill and hang out....joked ard and pretty much just enjoying the company of friends! I love my coursemates... one hell of a funny and entertaining lot...dun think my life here would be as fun w/o them! Anyway...hahaha, must go sleep early tonight man....tmr morning i start at 8am...and first lesson of the day....JUMP ROPE...Woooohooo! "HOW INTERESTING" rite? How am i expected to jump, co-ordinate and stuff at 8am! It's utterly insane!!!Arghhhh!!!!
Hey u ppl out there!!!! heehee....hope u guys are doing all good man! Anyway, Jacinta here is damn bored so just wondering if u guys have any interesting websites to recommand. Could be related to sports (diving, kayaking, gym....),crap, interesting stuff to just read about, gossips,news....whatever lah...but for heaven sakes no porn ya! Thanxs, i just need more stuff to read and surf coz here in Perth u can get damn bored at night, esp when all the shops close so early! Arghhhh....
Cheers manz!
Ja
Heehee...hello to my Housies!!! Yes yes, CikGu Cinta is here to tell the both of u....yes my dearest Chelsea and Mish that I LUB the both of u to pieces man! U guys have been the greatest, and if I had a choice to live with anyone else,I doubt I'll ever wanna replace the both of u!
It's been such a great semester living with you guys...Had loads of fun and laughter! Thanks for taking me in and for treating me like ur housemate...duh...coz I am ur housemate! What the hell am I talking about...see I'm too overwhelmed and filled with emotions now! :) Well I have to admit that I before I moved in, I was pretty scared and afraid, coz I didn't know what to expect and stuff ,and I didn't know what might happen and if most importantly- wheather we could get along and live under the same roof with each other! Well well....looks like all that worry was for nothing! Never thought that we could get along this well, really blessed and I thank God allowing the both of u to be my housemates!
Hahaha...despite the fact that I'm like the youngest amongest them, even though I'm like the biggest in size coz this two babes are so petite, I've always felt so loved and so well taken care off! It's like weird I tell u! But yea...really appreciate each and every single thing that U guys have done for me! Just love the fact that we can get along and enjoy ourselves here! Everyday I wake up to a new day with my housemates and each day is special on its own. All the crappy and spastic moments and rubbish that we blabber, just eating dinner together in front of the TV watching CSI and Queer Eye and talking about how cute Jai and Kyan are...hanging out in each other's room....lubbing away...gossipping, the outings and just sharing suff with each other!
To CHELS: Hey Babe! My fellow Sednarian...Known ya the longest since those good old canoeing BLITZKRAFT days! Funny how we're actually living under the same roof now...seriously something which i never thought would actaully happen! Anyway...a great senior, team mate, friend,housie and 'mother' u have been to me...hahahah...yea! Thanks for cooking the yummy dinners for us and i tell u....u muz teach me ur cooking skills sia...I shall learn from u! Thanks for all the support that u've given and for just being there for me esp in those low and troubled times. Love just talking those stupid nonsense and behaving all stupid with u....hanging out in ur room, lying on ur bed laughing away, trying to read ur Jap text in the wee hours of the morning, coming up with stupid theories-Theroy of the Planets....watching u flip and flop on my bed thinking that u're a dead fish....cooking together.... I just love hanging out with u man! Dun worry...a new sem has just begun and there's more exciting moment to come and share...woohoo...are u excited? Gosh sounds so dubious! Remember,my room's always open, so pop by anytime and u know u can share with me stuff too....I'll see u on ur bed soon...Oppps...was that suppose to be our little secret....shhhh! Lub Lub u always!
To Mish: Dearie Mishi Wishy Iishy Dishy...Lub u so much too! Even though I didn't really know u well before I came over and the thought of whether I was able to get along with u and stuff....(remember whatever I shared with u that day?) I must say that I was wrong to have judge and thought of u that way. U see...everything turned out perfectly fine and in fact better than expected! Love u so much gal...for the endless support and care that u have showered upon me and always encourging and the ur nagging at me to eat more! hahah! Love hanging out in ur room as well and just lying on ur comfy bed which just endears anyone to just wanna sleep on it! U know that I always look up to u coz u're such a strong gal with a big heart and I know that I can turn to u in times of trouble and sadness to share and confide in u! Hope u dun think of anything just because i hang out with chels more and stuff....I mean its just naturally coz I knew her much longer. But I really enjoyed just living under the same roof with u throughout the last sem....really do hope that this sem and the years to come will be better and that we'll open up more and get to know each other better! Well....sure can't wait to go scuba diving with u in Sept...remember my room is always open to u too...so pop in anytime...also wanna thank u for all the care and concern that u've shown, esp now that I'm sick and stuff! sighz! Feel so lucky...as if I have 2 'Mummies' here to look after me! hhaaha! Well...also remember that I'll always be here for u....so u can share with me anything u wanna.... :) Lub ya always too....
Well...once again to the both of u...I love ya guys loads!!!! Take care, hope this sem will be great for the both of u. May all our days continue to be filled be loads of craziness, wacky and fun-filled spastic joy and laughter! Till then, lub lub and nite!
Love ur housemate:
Ja
Ok...so ppl I know I haven't been updating my blog for the pass few days. In the first place u see...there's nothing much to blog about coz nothing much has been happening! Yes, yes, how boring right! But hey school has reopened and back to school I go....sighz.... this semester my days end earlier but I start so much earlier too! Damn...but then again...give and take lah...
This is bad man, I'm falling sick or rather...I'm down with the cold again! Just recovered from a flu about a month ago and now I'm down with the cold! What the hell man! This is so not right man! Blame it all on the darn winter weather here in Perth! ArghhhH!!!! Feeling all grossed out now... couldn't really concentrate during my lectures today...just sat there slumped in the chair and felt as if my nose was a tap gone all wrong and spoilt, non-stop leaking so much so that look so retarded holding dunno how many pieces of tissus against my nose! My nose hurts man! Now I wished my mummy and daddy were here...Boo Hoo!!! Couldn't take it man...came home from sch and hit the bed immediately...had a good 3 hour nap! *YaWn*
Not fair....my family has gone for dinner tonight at Riz Carlton! What crap man! I'm missing out on the good stuff! It's my aunt's and uncle's wedding anniversary...not too sure how many years already but their having a pretty big celebration and i think it's so cool that they don't want any gifts but instead ask for all proceeds to go towards charity! How generous! Well...really wished I could be there to share the joyous ocassion with them and of coz to dine @ Riz and also coz I would be able to dress up and wear pretty dresses that u dun really get to wear all the time! Sometimes it just feels so good to doll up and looks pretty...heehee...its a gal thing lah! Unlike the poor me now...sitting my room blogging away...how unhappening!
Feel as if I'm still in the holiday mood...not really into the sch thing yet! Die...must work hard and be consistant man! Called my family just now and had a nice talk with my beloved Daddy dearest....miss him so much...and of coz my mummy too! Daddy's going to Brisbane this Sunday for business thingy...have a safe flight ya dad! OOooo....It's a lil' sis -Jessica's 13th Birthday this Sunday. Wished I could be there to celebrate with her...she's such a dear! Really miss her company and all the stupid and spastic sisterly sessions we shared! Miss bullying her too! okok....I better stop all this...sound so pathetic and whiny!
Now I just sit here reflecting....Realised how quickly time has just gone by! It's like about half a year ago I was preparing to come over here to Australia to study and now as I look back...one semester has already gone by and another has just begun! I'm constantly tell myself that I'm truly blessed and that I should always count my blessings...not just because I got this opportunity to come over here to study which I never thought was possible...I'm doing a course that I really love..SPorts SciEnce...made so many new friends, great funky cool housemates and that I'm able to adapt rather quickly to this new environment and so on....I really thank God for all these! Hope that this semester will go on as well as the first if not even better!
Hhahaha...so cool, looks like the Asian population in the Human Movement facuilty fprmy year is growing...first it was just 5 of us and now there's 9! Yeah! U see...my course is mainly dominated by the caucassians...and the only asian international students initially were the 5 of us from Singapore (actually technically it's 4 coz the other person is a PR here!). How pathetic right! Well...now that the new intake have joined us...hope it'll be more fun!!! YuppiE! So thankful that I'm able to get along with all of them....just love hanging out with them...such a fun and humurous bunch of peeps! They never fail to make me laugh and coz I'm like the youngest there, they're like this group of 'Big Brothers' to me...they watch out and care of me. It's all good.... so to Aaron, Isaac and Edwin...CheerS!
Dum de Dum....sighz...what to do now? what to do??? I'll go try find something to occupy myself with now....dum de dum....
My newest dear friend...Zhong Yi and Me 
Here ye! Here ye! People...lend me ur eyes as u take time to read off this dedication to this special friend of mine! Yes, my dear friend Mr 'Thick skin' Yeo Zhong Yi has without shame asked me to write a blog dedication for him, coz he thinks I don't miss and care for him anymore ever since he went back after his holiday here in Perth!
To Zhong Yi: It just seems all weird and funny how we actually got to know each other so quickly, yet managed to get along perfectly fine! Considering the fact that just about a month ago, before u came to Perth for ur holiday, I didn't really know who u were and we never even spoke before.
I mean, I knew u existed coz u were from my senior batch back in CJC, and I and just knew who u were and stuff. Saw u ard in sch quite abit but didn't really give a damn about u coz i seriously and honestly didn't have a good impression of u AT ALL!!!! PLs...this guy here walks ard sch portraying this air and ego thing abt himself...the way he walks, with his hand swinging...thinks he's some big shot guy... and his just the sight of his FACE actually put me OFF! Thought he was a real SNOB and this Ego-Thick Skin, arrogant councilor in CJC. Ok...in layman's term....I couldn't stand him. Ok, so I know i was judgmental and all...but hey, can't blame me man, afterall, it's how u carry urself that allows ppl to make thier impression of u! (eh, zhong, sorry for sounding so mean and evil...but at least i'm being honest! Lub lub)
Anyway, heard that Zhong Yi was coming to Perth for a holiday as well as just coming to visit his friends. U see, my housemate-chels, and him are pretty close friends, and since he was gonna bunk at our place for the duration of his trip, chels was like trying to tell me more abt him..kinda like an intro thingy so that I would in a way be prepared for what to expect. Despite hearing alot of positive stuff from Chels, and she telling me that he's not as bad as i described him to be...I was just sticking to my neutral impression.
Well well...surprise suprise!!! I don't even know how to describe it but since Day 1 of his arrival, i never heard anyone else more lame than him!!! (ok,with the exception of poh khai who i think still holds the record of lameness!) Gosh, throughout the entire time was laughing non-stop and his stupid crap and nonsense. It was a little weird when we first met, but just thought that i shd be friendly...afterall he was gonna saty with us for the week! ( I'm not implying anything here for ur info...i'm still a nice gal afterall!)
I must admit that his presence here in Perth made my life (and i bet chels's as well) much more enjoyable, less lonely and less miserable! From the outings we had to the city, freo...the road rage incident which he actually made me traumatized...the late nights just hanging out in the room and talking rubbish....the sharing sessions we had, the wreckless driving experiences when i sat in the car....the non-stop suanning and jokes which made us all break out into fits of uncontrollable laughter, which according to him, says that he can't stand my uncontrollable 'vibrations' whenever i laugh...sounds so worng and dubious...but ya! He's one hell of a wacky and crazy guy....really enjoyed ur company Zhong! Really blessed that there's this guy called Zhong Yi around...he's real special...a good friend indeed. I know I'm like totally contradicting whatever i said earlier but i guess when u actually get to know a person better...u can't always rely on what ppl tell u! As crappy a guy he may be...within the short 2 weeks he was here, i got to see his more serious side as well as the jester within him. I must compliment his 'people's skill' a very sociable guy, and he's just able to carry out conversations with just abt anyone...which i think is a good skill.
In my opinion...This guy here is not embarrassed nor afraid of beign himself and just opening himself towards others. I dun think I'm in a position to really say that I know him well...but all i can say is that he left a lovely good impression on me...and to tell u the truth...as much as i deny it, I actually Miss ur company Zhong Yi! :) Those friends of Zhong Yi, u are a damn lucky bunch....despite the insults and crap, u can see thru this guy's eyes that he respects and treasures his friends well!
It's been Great having gotten to know u Zhong Yi! Really honored and privileged! Those stupid webcam MSN conversations were hell funny, and had fun! :) Thanxs for the " user God will always guide u in whatever u do and that u'll always stay strong and believe in urself! Enjoy, as u embark a new phase in ur life....take care....dun miss me too much...Lub Lub! and keep in touch ya! May the Yeo-Hood rein forever and ever...WooHoooo...ChEERS!
P/S: I may say mean and horrible things to u....but u know me...heehee.... *GriNZs*
Woke up this morning at like 8.20am not wanting to get out of bed...just felt too snuggled up under my quilt. Was thinking to myself..."gosh! must i really go back to school?" Well, it just didn't seem right esp after having such a nice long holiday doing nothing much but slacking and just enjoying myself here in Perth.
Well, had not much of a choice but to get my lazy heavy ass out of bed...had to literally drag myself to the toilet to wash up!!!! Hahaha....first day of sch and I have a long day! All 4 lectures, and a tutorial...sighz. I'm gonna start hating mondays, wednesdays and fridays....horrible long days! *YuCks* Oh ya, and Sacha had nothing better to do so she decided to come and crash my human biology and psychology lectures. Actually, aside from long days and not getting the tutorial slot that i wanted...I'm pretty happy with the lecturers i got...not too bad, not so monotonous and boring...at least there's some life and sense of humour in them. Hopefully, that would help me pull thru this sem! Only got back home abt 5 ish....tired....what's new!
WOooHOoo...my darling Chels is finally back from her break back in Singapore!!! Missed her so much while she was gone man! The house felt so different w/o her ard. She's been such a great senior, friend, housemates and lubber to me all these 4 years that I've known her !!! Heehee...now we can continue with our secret lubbing affairs, flipping and slopping on my bed and talk cock sessions. Yuppie....hmmm...u ppl must be wondering what the hell we get up to rite...all i can say...u guys are missing out on the fun stuff man! (oh no...this sounds so wrong!)
Anyway...clubbing that day was pretty happening and fun. Had quite a few drinks, got a little high but no where near drunk.Music was so much better as compared to the last time i went. The place was damn crowed manz....none the less had a pretty good time dancing the night away and just soaking into the music....something I needed to do esp before the sch term starts! YEa Man! Oh ya, the dancers were as hot as always....the black male dancer was esp yummy coz he was all chiesled abs and sweaty body...pls which gal wouldn't drool!
Maybe it's coz of the time now...but my mind's not really processing very well....dun really have much to blog for now...think tmr might be better....good nitey!!!!
Yuppers...today was such a beautiful day man. A little chilly but the sun was shining high above radiating its warmth and the vast blue sky was cloudless...not a single cloud in sight! Lovely I tell ya...
This morning woke up damn early....well way earlier as compared to the usual time i rise at least! How piggish can i be man! Gosh, better reset my biological body clock before sch starts, if not I would sense trouble waking in the morning, esp since I have a day that starts at like 8am...DAMN!
Well, headed down to the Uni Co-Op to get some stuff...watched the rugby sevens match in the afternoon on telly, Aust VS NZ!!! Wasn't too good a game coz the pitch conditions were terrible. Didn't manage to catch the entire match coz we were heading down Cottelsloe Beach just to relax and take in the rest of the beautiful afternoon. I love the beach totally...it's like the best place to hang out esp in summers...a peaceful scentuary where u could go to escape from the bustling urban life, a place where u are able to just let urself free and let out all ur thoughts, misery and the day to day happenings that overflow and fill ur mind!
OOOOoooo....we saw quite a few dolphins!!! Got all excited and mish and I were like pointing in every direction shouting HERE! HERE! ThERE..no HERE! hahaha...yea, it was such a pretty sight! Think we saw more than 7....and we were talking about how nice it would be to go dive with dolphins...so exciting! Stayed to watch the sunset...amazing...the colours across the horizon! Oh, Daryl and Docas also came to join us...headed down to The Blue Duck to have a light snack and coffee. Yummy!!!
Anyway, gonna go get ready soon coz we're going CLUBBBING! Hollar if ya wanna!!! Yea...going down to Metro's to club coz today's enterance cover charge is only 5 Bucks! Obviously u would go rite! And once the sch sem starts this monday, dun think clubbing opportunities would be as often!!! So better club now! WoooHOOO!!!!
Come live in me
All my life, take over
Come breathe in me
And I will rise
On eagles wings
Sighz...finally my Smallville escapade has finally come to an end! How sad! I must say the entire season 3 ain't that bad...pretty interesting...hahah, if not how else would u think i would stay up continuously to continue watching episode afer episode! But it's a shame that the ending was not a solid good one. Expected a way better one! As much as I would like to share...I shall not be a B*** and spoil by revealing what happens, for the sake of those who have yet to watch it! But...yea...GO WATCH SMALLVILLE!!! Now that I've finished watching...i dunno how else i'm gonna occupy my time! HumPh! *grumbles*
Actually I'm kinda happy that sch's gonna start soon...well, then at least I don't have to bother so much on how i'm gonna occupy my time. But pretty disappointed coz my timetable is still as packed as ever...a pretty heavy semester I would admit, but yea, told myself that i'm gonna stay consistant and try to maintain my grades if not better! Hopefully I dun get too contented and start to slack off! Must constantly remind and push myself. That's the thing abt being independant...u can't blame anyone else but urself!
Hmmmm....this sem I'll be taking Human Biology, Human Movement, Psychology and Organisational Behaviour. I love human movement man...as gross as it can get at times and with it's heavy content load, I still enjoy it. Find it so fun and interesting...love the labs when we get to study the cadavers. OOOoooo!!!! Oh and this sem, will be doing jump rope for my practicals...not really too keen on jumping ard but it beats the hell out cf reading from books and stuff! Hahah!
Ok...my dear housemate Mish is sitting right now at the enterance of my room eating her late night supper coz she's complaining that she's feeling hungry! Yea, she's eating fried rice and some of the leftovers from dinner. Hahaha...yea, just talking abt stuff and listening to the radio....she's weird man....ask her to sit in a more comfortable spot like my bed and she just continues sitting on the floor munching away! Mish, Mish, Mish! hahah...but I love her! At the rate she's gobbling down her food, she telling me she might get an indigestion!
TO Jessica my lil' Sis: Hey gal, don't be too upset about what happened at the National Track and Field Competition today. The most important thing is that u did ur best and enjoyed urself... must say ur timing was fantastic, and u even broke ur own personal record...so thumbs up. Too bad i can't be there to watch u run and support u. Hey, u still have plenty of opportunities man...u're only in sec 1...loads of chances and competitions to compete in! Not everything is abt winning! Continue to train hard! Love ya loads and miss ya too! U know u can always turn to me hey?
WARNING: Watching Smallville is officially deemed as an addictive leisure activity! Each episode ends so abruptly, makes u all itchy and curious inside... just gets u glued to ur seat and just makes u wanna continue watching each episode one after the other, to find out what happens next. Spent the pass 3 days watching Smallville season 4...and already i'm down to the 16 episode out of the 22 in total. I just sit in my room, watching it on my lappie....can't help it man!
Haven't really updated my blog past 2 days....yea, u guessed as much...too busy watching smallville.
Went to K K's Pub just now for just one of those chill and hang out session with some friends. Spent most of the time playing rounds of pool and just chatting away, came back not too long ago. Must go shower soon, feel so icky...having that stinking smokey smell in my hair and clothes...arghhhh!
I dunno why, but it's just a random statement...I'm actually starting to wonder if I'm a NERD and if my life's as BORING as some ppl might think! Hahaha...yes yes, as random as it sounds...it kinda just struck me, not too sure why either!
I guess yea...I kinda agree that I appear to be one of those no life, stay at home, hardly go out, always coop myself up in my own room mugging and going all hardcore on the exams! Hahaha..those who have been ard me have seen this side i bet....and yea, as they tell me...it's quite scary how I go all hardcore and stuff. Then again, I question myself - THAT'S ME...Jacinta...it's just who I am, just my way of handling and going though life. Hahah... I even do admit that my parent think I'm crazy and the worry abt me pushing myself too hard.
Oh well...but despite being the homie sort of person, who finds the peace and serenity and just being myself in the comfort of my own home.....i think ppl just catch me in action at the wrong time...eg: exam time. In fact I love the outdoors, playing sports and stuff...hahah, like what Mish and I were talking abt earlier today...I shd probably adopt the label of being "THE UNDERCOVER NERD" *(detective music sounds....!!!)* Oh NO!!! Hey but no worries man...I'm cool with just leading the life that I'm leading right now, and i dun think i wanna change it...ok, except maybe not pushing myself overboard!
Hmmm...ok my friends, pls do not worry, i've not gone mad, I'm perfectly sane....just another one of those random weird thoughts going thru the complex mind of Jacinta's....
Anyway...guess what I'm gonna do now....haha...yup...righty u are...Watch Smallville time...lalalallala
Kays...it's like almost 3 am in the morning now! Humph...dun really feel sleepy now, so bascially sitting in my room, staring at the screen and pondering what to do next....think I might just watch Smallville season 3, have yet to start watching it!
I'm aching man...my thighs and butt! Ok...sounds really dubious, but yea, I think I did too many squats in the gym this afternoon. Couldn't even sit properly on the floor just now! Hahahah....but then I'm living by one of my theories in life - Pain is Arousing!
Had a pretty good evening...went to Tiamo's with Mish and Sacha and a few others to meet up with some freshies, 2 of whom were also from CJC. Looks like Perth is seriously turning into a mini CJC hub in itself. It's like u picture the entire world as such a huge planet....yet in contradiction, like how the song goes... it's a small world after all! Spent the time talking crap and sharing stuff....and just catching up on those good old CJC days. BUt it's good to have so many friends ard...makes u feel more at home and is definitely a good pillar and source of strength and support!
Freshies= school is gonna start soon....in fact next week! SIghz....felt as if I haven't enjoyed enough...too short! DAmn! My body has not really been switched back to study mode...and not too keen either! Feels as if I've been trapped in a timeclock of my own...it just seems as if the exams were just over yesterday and all i can thinkn about doing for now is play, slack and enjoy. If only turning back time was so simple. Then again I guess God made it this way coz he has plans for us! Just the thought that I have to continue with a 5 day sch week as compared to my lucky housemates who have like 3-4 days week...suxs! WHY!!!!! Arghhhh! Not fair...!!!
"Lord I offer my life to YOU, everything I've been though..."
Yes Yes, like what everyone in Perth's talking about now....The RESULTS are OUT!!! Logged into the student access site and I totally couldn't believe what I got...It's really way way better than I expected, and yea,I'm really pleased with my results. Finally, it's like this lingering weight lifed off my chest...coz I really thought that I seriously like really seriously screwed up my Human Biology practical! But none the less...I'm contented and overjoyed. Had to immediately ring my parents up to share the good news! Looks like all that hard work and time spent mugging away has paid off!
Yesterday was a typical boring Sunday for me...spent most of my day trying to re-arrange files in my lappie and burning them out onto CD's....
Hmmmmm....for some apparent reason I've been feeling super restless the past few days.I dunno...but it feels as if I'm personally going through an emotional rollercoaster, not anything of a major sort, but still ultimately affects one. I guess now coz it's the holidays so more time to think and reflect abt stuff, and hence the tendency to think more and let ur mind wonder. But yea, begin apart, far away from ur family, friends and love ones....It's just HARD!!! Ok...so technology has created the email and phones, but it's no where close to having the individual physically there...It's hard to explain but it's just totally different. The feelings that I'm going thru is like so complex and I just feel as if I've been sucked into a whirlpool of some sort.
Partly I reckon it's bcoz I come from a really close knit family...so yea, being separated for so long is a huge step. Ok, so girls are more sensitive and emotional...but that's a bad excuse! It's both physcially and emotionally draining to keep friendships and relationship going on despite the distance...and it's a part that both parties have to play, not just a one sided affair.
Was talking to Joanna last night and it kinda was a wake up call for me. I guess now I know what she must have felt when she entered NUS and kinda drew away from the rest of us. Everyone claims that they're busy and stuff and no time for this and that....ok easier said than done but I feel that if u really wanna do something , no matter how busy one is, through some means u'll definitely be able to fork out some time to commit and make the effort to keep in contact. Oh well...would u considering this as I'm complaining? Well...I guess it's just a phase of life that I've gotta go thru... I think many alike share the same sentiments, just that it's not heard...but it really hurts yea???
To Jo: Thank you for taking the time out last night to share with me....really got me thinking and reflecting. Ah yes, hahaha, remember whatever we said yea? Must try to maintain the trio diary! Take care and have fun preparing for the orientation back in NUS....love ya babe!
ACTING ALL TOURIST LIKE IN FREO...
Got woken up early this morning by Sacha tugging at my leg...sighz, I was all covered up nicely under my warm and comfy quilt in my PJ's. Such a nice weather to sleep the morning away! Had to lug my unwilling self out of bed....
Today...Sacha and I headed down to Freemantle or should I say it the aussie way - FREO! Spent abt half the day there. Was a pretty good outing, acted all tourist-like and stuff. We bascially just took our time walking around the entire place...it's freaking cold today for some reason...the air was just generally colder than the norm. Yep, so all wrapped up in our long pants and jackets, we headed first to The ROund House....this historical site in Freo where they used to keep ex-convicts and stuff...yea, we even stayed to watch the symbolic firing of the cannon which goes off everyday @ 1pm...but I kinda forgot the significance of it...BLAH!
Took quite a number of pics....the shophouses and historical sites in Freo are real pretty. They have a very olden English touch to it....it's nice...the colours and stuff...awww...pretty pretty!!! Went to the Freemantle weekend market...I kinda like that place...it's got all the little nicks and nacks, weird stuff and just interesting and pretty nonsense...but despite walking ard for sometime, I didn't manage to get anything for mysself! SIghz! Oh and we saw these 2 Great Dane dogs...they were so nice...huge and so tame! They were just hanging out with their owners at this open space outside the market and I seriously they brought more attention upon themselves by just being there as compared to the poor group of buskers who were performing nearby!
More walking...keep on walking...popped our heads into random shops just for a look-see kinda thing. Some sold really interesting stuff...and oooo...the coffee powder smell in this shop...ooolala...now I really miss the famous rich thick black coffee my daddy makes!!!! By the time we decided to head home...was already like 4 plus...
Rest of the evening was like any other...homecooked dinner...followed by our usual bumming ard in the living room watching Gilmore Girls and Forest Gump. Well at least now my cold is getting better....more rest....
PICNIC IN THE PARK...AND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MUAY THAI
Gosh...still feeling all goggy and icky with the cough and sniffels! But well, not letting that stop me from enjoying my Friday! Too good a day to allow it to go to waste....the weather was cool and beautiful. Sunny but windy.
Sacha and I decided that it would be a great idea to have a picnic along the river front @ Madtilda's Bay. So yea, she started preparing the food...made black-peppered chicken kebabs, fish fingers and brought along 2 juicy red appels. Took a slow walk down to Mad Bay, and found this cosy spot just along the bank of the river. Stupid noisy seagulls were like all prepared and aware of the presence of yummy food...they just stood there looking and staring hoping that by some luck or miracle, we would actully throw them some food....hahah...FOOLS...Fat Hope!
Yea....so we just bascially just spent the rest of the afternoon chilling out there...Sacha read some book, while the piggy me just slept away. The both of us reckoned that it was a really BEAUTIIIIFULLL day....clear blue skies...fresh air and the relaxing mood...was great...something that u can NEVER get in Singapore. But it kinda started getting chilly towards the later part....despite wearing long trackies and jackets...our feet especially were FREEZING!!!
Hahahah....BIG WELCOME BACK TO MISH! Yea, she's finally back home in Perth. :) It's been evry weird and different without my housemates in the house. Really miss them both!
Later this evening, Sacha was trying to teach me some basic skills and moves in Muay Thai. I mst say it was pretty fun and exhilarating a feeling to kick and box away. Not as easy as I thought it would be, was so scared that I would punch Sacha in the face! I think I have targeting problems...I must be half blind! Oh well...she's gonna continue teaching me a few stuff...so hopefully I'll be able to learn a thing or two from her. I must say she's pretty good herself...was telling her that she looks really fierce and intimidating when she kicks and punches away. Hahaha...maybe just before she leaves we'll be able to have a mini muay thai match...hahaha! Wel'll see how it goes...dun wanna end up in bruises! YiKES!!!
MY NOSE IS KILLING ME....DAMN IT!
I'm feeling all shitty now...since this afternoon been having the sniffles! I think I'm catching on a cough and a cold! Been sneezing, coughing and using countless plys of tissue paper! It's such a yucky icky feeling. Feeling pretty miserable since...and the cold weather here is not making my life any better. *SizGhZ*
Anyway, woke up this morning feeling fine and all....headed down to the gym for a nice workout. It was only after I got home did my tempremental nose started making me feel miserable. It sucks I tell you! Didn't do much today, in fact didn't feel like doing much either....Now I wish my mum and dad were here to take care of me....but yea...no point complaining and whining over something that won't happen.
Hmmmm....just finished watching a DVD with Sacha ...A Knight's Tale. Pretty good show, damn funny...it's like one of those movie set in the mendivle times but with a modern and funky edge twist to the storey. Sacha reckons that Heath Leadger is hot, and throughout the entire show she was like going on and on about how cute and man he was! Hahaha...SACHA!!!!
~YUMMY SHEPHERD'S PIE DAY~
Sighz...as I sit at my table now typing away on my lappie, having a terrible headache! Ouchie ouch!!! Took a panadol tablet already...
Looks like both Sacha and I have been heading down to the city quite a bit since she came. She wanted to go to the gym to have a short workout, so meantime I just took a walk ard the city. Finally! Managed to get the jacket i was looking for...and what's better...it's on SALE!!! Yuppie!!! Okok...so met up with Sacha again after like an hour, walked ard a little more....and more...and more....
I'm starting to think the Perth's weather forecast is really unreliable and inaccurate! Bloody hell! Said it would have a THUNDERSTORM the whole day...but what rubbish...it's only rained like heavily for about half an hour in the late afternoon. Ya right, said that there might be hail, but I don't even see the temperature falling down to permit the possibility of hail falling from the sky! Crap!
Ok, didn't really have a proper dinner today coz the both of us were rather full. Anyway, during the evening, Sacha got all excited about the new curling iron that she bought for a pretty good price. So yea, I was the guinea pig....she started curling my hair....curling...curling...Yea, and after that it was my turn to curl her hair coz she wanted to see what she would look like with curls in her hair! Gosh...she got all excited and squealy...hahha...never seen her so easily excited before! She was like playing with her hair and lamenting to me about how springy and bouncy her hair volume felt like! Hahaha...but it was really fun and funny....
OOOOOoooo....I made Shepherd's Pie today. Came out of the oven not too long ago...it's hot and yummy...good for winter! Ok, both my housemates who are back in Singapore must be cursing at me now!
Shepherd's Pie
To Chels: I read ur Blog!!! Hhahahah...sighz, U make me sound so evil! Ok, Will cook for u my pie when u come back to Perth ya. Pls, it's not that I don't cook for u guys...it's just that it's known for a fact that ur cooking is much better than mine!
Ok, think I'll turn in soon, stupid headache not going away! Tomorrow must wake up early to go to the gym....lalalalallalala.........
HARRY POTTER 3
I think this is like about the thousand time I'm yawning! Gosh...not too sure why, just feeling sleeping and tired, but thing is that I didn't really do much today. Oh well..anyway, today was watching movie day with Sacha.
Yes yes, I know Harry Potter 3 had been screening for a really long time already, and I'm seriously like super back dated from watching it...hey don't blame me man, this is Perth afterall, all movie releases are like so much slower and also because I was having my exams before that.
Anyway, Sacha and I decided to head down to the city to catch the 4.30pm show today. I tell u, this evil gal here was trying to persuade me to walk all the way down to the city with her! Tootface! Hahaha...she claimed that it was such a beautiful day and she reckoned that BRISK walking to the city would be fun which simultaneously could give us both a light workout! Initially I seriously didn't feel like it, coz it felt like one of those lazy days that u just didn't want to do much, and then again there was a bus stop directly outside our house with a direct bus down to the city!!!!
Well, ok, so after much persuasion and a little whining and reverse psychology put into play, my dear friend Sacha finally after much effort got me off my ass and we embarked on out 1 hour BRISK walk down to the city. Ok, I admit it was a nice day, coz there was the glorious SUN! Finally...I mean it's Winter now...a little sun would do some good! The walk was good...we talked about lots of stuff and bascially just let ourselves enjoy the fresh clean cool air and the open spaces....
By the time we got to the city, felt damn good, despite the cool air, I still perspired a little....got to the show on time. I thought the show was pretty ok, but I still preferred the 1st and 2nd sequels better. Sacha and I were like discussing how interesting and cool it would be if we could be kid widazrds and have those way cool magical powers, and go to that funky magic schools like Hogwarts and ride on the backs on magical creatures!!! That would definitely be something!
Nothing much happened after that....took a bus back home...ate dinner...and now we're juz chilling out infront of the tv watching celebrities uncensored. It's cold....brrrrr....
4TH OF JULY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY....WOOHOOOOOoooo!!!!
Ok...so what if this is not America, big deal. Sacha and I are proclaiming our very own celebration of the 4th of July right here in Australia! Yea, Sacha's back from touring Melbourne and Sydney, gonna stay over at our place for the next few days. It's been pretty good hanging out with her so far....
Went down to Subiaco with Sacha late this morning to do some grocery shopping. But before heading to the supermarket, we just took some time to walk around... I was trying to look for a jacket, but sighz, came back empty handed! Hahaha....out of the blues Sacha had this sudden craving to head over to The Cheesecake Shop to buy a cheesecake to eat. Damn....obviously without questioning, being a cheese freak, this 'nice' gal got me tempted into having it as well! Damn, so much for trying to keep away from nonsense! Anyway, all the various flavours of cheesecakes in the display looked damn yummy!!! Hahaha...trying to control my mouth from watering, and also because I started to feel hungry, being the typical Singaporean, I started picking on the free cheesecake samples! Yikes...hahha, tried to be as descreet as possible! Anyway, we the both of us were in luck. We were eyeing on the yummy tropical fruit cheesecake...and just decided to get a half....but we later saw this tiny sign at the counter saying that certain particualr flavours were going at a special price and one of them was the one we were planning to get! Yuppie...and yea, we ended up getting a whole! Sacha claimed that it could last us the week, but from the looks of it now...I think having it last 3 days would be a feet in itself! hahahah...it's just damn yummy! Just too good to resist!
The yummalicious Tropical Friut Cheesecake....*drools*
I think we bought like loads of groceries to last us 2 weeks! Got lots of good food planned out that we're gonna cook! Oh and my dear Sacha here was like converting me to become yet another Home Brand supporter. I wasn't too fond of it initially, coz I thought that it was like 'low-graded' and stuff....but after trying some stuff, it seriously ain't that bad. But of coz it really depends on what ya gonna buy. Certain stuff u can afford to go like all cheapo, but others u shd just stick to more trustworthy brands! Yups! :) When we got home, we had like trouble trying to squeeze all groceries into the freezer compartment! Gosh!
Anyway, yea, Sacha thought that we should have our very own 4th of July dinner celebration. She's a little mad!!! Yea, so we got down cooking...had hot delicious soup, oven roasted potatoes, fish fingers and this yummy tomato based stew that Sacha made. Definitely was a great meal, especially when it's winter here! Ooooo...and we also had red wine to go along with our meal. In the Singapore context...it was SHIOK! Felt damn stuffed after that! WoooHooo...to our independence day people!!!! YEa Baby!
I'm seriously starting to think that Sacha here has gone all aussified. It's like out of the blue she started singing the song-Waltzing Madtilda, and she has been singing at ramdom periods since! HAHHA...and the thing is that she only sings the chrous...coz yea...that's the only part she knows! She's been totally captivated and drawn into the aussie spirit ever since she watch that live rugby match in Sydney between Aust and Scottland! She was also asking me how the song- Kookabura sits on the old gum tree thingy went. Oh MY GoodNEss!!!! HELP!!! hahaha....
JUST ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY IN PERTH
Yup yup,just another ordinary day. Was practically raining the entire day ...rain... stop...rain...stop....freaking weather just spoils the day. Anyway, hecking the weather, decided to head down to the city with another friend to just take a walk around. Spent most of the time window shopping and trying pretty clothes on...hahaha... u see when u have no cash, the next best closest alternative is to just make urself feel a little better by having fun with ur friend, trying on pretty expensive clothes that u know u cannot afford and would not be practical to buy. None the less had a good time...running in and out of the various shop's fitting rooms.
Well, bought a new track pants...something I really need at this point of time to keep warm. Wanted to take a jog in the evening but it just started raining again, so yea...hahahha. Starting to feel really werid coz it's been such a long time since I last did a proper work out due to the exam period. High time I should get back into action manz. To me it;s like committing a sin if I knew I've been pigging out and not doing anything else. To make matters worst...it's winter now, so tendancy is too eat more to keep warm....darn!
Was just watching TV when Marlinda called me around 11.30pm. Told me it was Candy's birthday, and that they wanted to give her a mini celebration over at Junyi's place. So yea, walked over to Junyi's place, in the freezing cold. Hmmmm...she turns 22 this yr,got to know her through diving. She's actually from Singapore, just graduated from NUS, so taking a month's holiday here in Perth.
Had fun over at Junyi's place...after eating chocolate cake, basically hung out in the room crapping away, talking about the dive experience and all sorts of other nonsense. Poor Junyi was just being suaned by all of us....hahaha...and he was like nagging at all of us not too leave and drop and traces of food crumbs on the floor coz he just tidied and cleaned the house earlier. Hahaha! But do u think we actually gave a damn! Please!
CLEANING THERAPY SESSION
Hmmmm, I must admit that today was a pretty good day for me. Wouldn't say I did much....except just took some time off to relax from my week's out diving and just cleaning up the whole house.
Woke up rather early, about 9am despite sleeping past 3am! Today was bloody cold...was freezing my arse off at home the entire day. Had to even keep all the windows closed coz the wind was blowing in...and even that didn't help...WINTER!!!!!Anyway, started spring cleaning the house after washing up and stuff. Also did some re-arrangement of my room, coz I've changed my study table to a slightly bigger one. Feels alot better now...more space to put and store my stuff, come to think about it, the room kinda has an office touch to it...I guess it's just the table.But I really like it now.... :) Nearly lost track of time, coz by the time I was done cleaning, it was already 3pm and I haven't even taken my lunch.
Anyway, really proud of myself coz I treated and made myself a really good dinner...made a western meal- grilled lamb steak with mushrooms, with oven roasted potatoes and veg. Being modest, I have to say it was really yummuy...Bascially spent the rest of the evening just realxing in the hall, watching TV....Rugby Sevens on now...Aust Vs Pacific Island...think I'll go catch it. Sunday sunday....sighz, dread sundays in aust, coz nothing's open and there's just nothing to do....crap...
FINALLY...I'M AN OPEN WATER SCUBA DIVER...WOOHOO!!!
Cool hey? Finally completed my open water scuba diver's course today! Woohoo...certified and licensed to dive, now I'm intending to take my advanced open water license like maybe towards the end of the year, close to summer....was also intending if i save enough money, might wanna try going to Rottenest Island for a dive trip maybe during my September school holidays...we'll just see how it goes, suppose to be one of the better dive sites in Perth, 2nd from Geraldton.
The pass few days have been great, one of the better weeks I've had since I came to Perth. It was an entirely new experience for me...meeting new friends, learning how to dive and just chilling out, doing something that I've always wanted to do for such a long time. It's like time has flew by so fast, yet I felt as if there wasn't enough time for me to completley enjoy myself! Wished I could do more dives during the course.
Preparing and Gearing up to dive
Open water diving @ The Coombes
Thursday...had our first open water dive...was pretty good...visited 2 dive sites- went to Woodman's Point first, currents were pretty strong there so we were unable to make our second dive there...ended up at our second dive site- The Coombes...near freemantle...it was a pretty good site. Despite the water being a freaking 15 degrees cold...all was good. Saw quite a few stuff....there wasn't so much of swimming around, coz the main aim of the course was to see if we could apply our skills that we've learnt in the open sea...
Me and Brent (my dive instructor)
Me and my dive buddy Dwyane
Today, went back to The Coombes to complete our 3rd and 4th dive. Water was even colder that the previous day...when we were doing our skills on the sea bed I was like shivering...hahaha...it gets really cold if u don't move and just sit still waiting for ur turn to show the instructor how u perform ur skills that u have learnt....otherwise, when swimmign ard, it's pretty ok...this time round did a little more swimming ard and exploration of the dive site...did compass navigation and a whole lot of other stuff. It's a shame the course had to come to an end...after packing, headed back to the dive shop to log in our dives and fill up some documents for our diver's license and washing of our gear. Sighz...all in all, I say it was a really good experience, totally enjoyed myself like heaps! Made so many new friends, and just within this short period of time, manage to build new friendships and stuff...and they were even saying that they wanted to meet up sometime and maybe dive together....cool hey? Anyway...after that all of us headed for a nice group dinner....freaking hungry from diving the whole day!
Ok, so now that my dive week is over, I've got lots more things to do. Got to clean, tidy up and vacuum the house tomorrow...getting really messy now! Also got to settle some bank and school stuff, just wanna get everything settled, over and done with kinda thing, then at least I won't have to bother so much. Sacha is finally back from her Melbourne trip, she's gonna spend the week over at our place. Funny, but I don't feel tired now despite having been our the whole day diving and just hanging out....oh well....
