Time really flies...tmr the UWA ppl start uni. It's hard to believe that uni is starting sooooo soon and that I'm already into my 2nd year!
Then again, I think i'm still pretty much in slack mode and i just feel so lazy. Dun really feel like waking up early and startting uni this soon. It's like i haven't enjoyed enough. This means no more late nite sleeping, more ealry wakings (coz out of my 5 day week, i start uni at 8am on 4 days!), test, homework,projects, presentations and loads more.Sighz!
Well, i guess it has to start some time anyway. Just didn't wish it was this soon.
Not bad, not bad. Apparently there are more freshies from HM this yr round (well at least we're talking abt the asian community here). Heard there are loads of gals joining the course, mostly from sg. Which i reckon is really good, sg really needs ppl like us! hahahh!
Chels and I have been bored to death at home. See, we're contradicting ourselves here, coz on one hand we're bored to death and on the other we dun want to start sch so quickly. I think we've been like complaining and constantly whining to eahc other. I think I've been acting weird too, well at least chles thinks i'm going a little 'kuku' up there. Then again, she's pretty much used to my weird and ever so random behaviour. Hahahah! I was so bored that i even came up with a mission this yr. Apparently, I've never really managed to make chels pissed off with me b4, and i kinda feel itchy inside to do so. Imagine if i really managed to make her pissed (not that i want too) i was telling her it would be like winning a gold medal. U see, chels is just to nice to me lah, my lubber....hahaha....but nah, i dun get pissed with her too....so i think i'll just forget abt my stupid challenge! *crap* hahahaha
Well, gonna get ready and head of to church....must pray pray pray...loads to pray for...i've been a bad bad gal....hahahahaa
Since i got back to Perth, my mind hasn't got to rest. So much has just been boggling thru it.
I've been feeling irritated, fed up and angry inside. I dun like that feeling, but i've been trying to look on the brighter side of things and instead make the most out of better things that are happening ard me.
* Had to pay my uni fees. Parent's decided not to give me a bankdraft, which was not a big deal for me coz i just had to go to the bank to purchase the bank cheque. The problem only came later when i underestimated my acct balance in one of the accts and that's where the whole hoo-ha started. I shall save the tourture of u guys listening to my ramblings. To cut it short, in the end i had to head down to 3 banks withdraw, re-deposit, bank in my bankdraft, and buy a bank cheque. It just got me irritated coz i had to spend the previous afternoon trying to figure how much i had to transfer and deposit to and from each bank such that i could pay my fees.Arghh.
* Then later i found out that my uni enrollment was not confirmed, and i kinda freaked out for a moment. Coz almost every other person ard me had their confirmation slip already! The problem din just end there ..... later i found out that all the lab enrollment had been closed. In the first place i din even know it was open! COz usually they let us sign up only on the first week of uni. Dunno y in the world they had to change the system this yr. There was not even a single email informing me abt it.dman. So i had to spend yesterday morning settling all this crap admin stuff. Well its done now, but i didn't manage to get all the lab times that i wanted. I'll have to try to fight witht the aussie for me when uni reopens.
Finally completed tidying my room. Look pretty good to me now. It's like my comfort zone in aust. No where else beats it. Chnaged some of the posters and pics hanging on my wall. It needs a constant update...more refreshing, something diff, a change....its good. Love my strip pink bedsheet. Hhaha...how girly rite?
Lucky for me, everything went smoothly and i finally managed to settle more or less every other thing. Thank God for the smooth sailing, allowing me the peace of mind now. I hate stress and worry, then again who doesn't. But i'msure ppl who know me well enough would know that i easily freak out and panic whenever such stupid stuff happens.
Starting to feel really lazy and all i wanna do is like bum ard at home. Might head a a jog this evening when the weather is not as hot. Haiz, sg hot come here also hot (not as bad) but still hot....kinda anticipating for winter now...hahaha....ya then i'll be dreading it when it comes...such a hard to please gal eh? hahahah...
The feeling of being back here in Perth is pretty weird - well at least for now.
Guess its just the transition from sg back here...
I kinda felt that leaving sg this time round was much harder than b4. Prob coz when u come over for the first time, the excitement kinda overshadows the fear and sadness. Thanxs to the ppl who came to send all of us off!
Arrived here in the early hrs on Thursday morning. Our (chels, eelis and me) flight here by vlaueair was really gd i must say. It certainly surpassed our expectations of any budget airline and we simply love the service onboard and the flight attendance's oh so casual uniform. Can u believe it, they wore like kakhi coloured pants and a blue polo tee, oh and we reckon their shoes are way cool. They wore sneakers! (this kahki coloured with some lime green areas-kinda looks like the addidas ones in a way) Hahaha...the whole flight the 3 of us were like making fun of everything we could possibly think of bcoz it was a budget airline. Even to the extent tat there were no guy stewards onboard, coz clothing material would have cost more coz this was a budget airline!
The flight attandence were really friendly. We asked them if they had a deck of cards so that we could play. But she replied " oh, I'm sorry gals, we dun have any cards, (gives this smirking smile) we're a budget airline u see, but i'll go and check with my cabin crew and see if any of them has one''....wow....not long after she returns, but in no avail of finding one. Nonetheless, we thought it really funny how she said it, but was so nice of her to even bother findin a deck for us!
We had our budget fried rice (which was pretty tasty) and budget hotdog bread. We too reckon that the flight attandence had nothing better to do coz they kept serving us drinks cup after cup. Which of coz meant that we had to keep going to the toilet, and i totally hate the flush systems on airplanes! The plane's are new so yea, all still clean and comfy. Seats were good too, good leg and room space. In fact it didn't even feel as if we were taking a budget airline.
Plane was pretty empty, and after sometime when we got bored talking crap and laughing, decided to head to the back of the plane and each grab 3 seats to ourselves and just slept for the remainder of the journey. Poor Eelis, i think she had to endure all our (chels and mine) nonsense. We kept coming up wif stupid lame stuff and kept repeating some catch phrases that chels and i simply love saying (i dun think u want me to start here). We pratically said everything in such a way that we could make us of those phrases. SorryEelis! hahaha...but u had fun rite! We know u did!
Well....back in Perth we are now....
Started packing my luggage today.....leaving in like 36hrs man! Just can't believe that my summer break back here in Sg has come to an end so quickly. Feels as if i haven't enjoyed enough.
DIE....just now was just staring at my luggage and i seriously wonder what in the world i actually had to bring back to Perth! I have like this nig suitcase, another duffle bag thingy and on top of that i still have my own hand carry backpack and laptop! Now, i dunno why it seems i have so much t bring back. Apart from the fact that i'm helping a friend to bring back some stuff....majority of the stuff ultimately belongs to me! Goodness... it's nearly exceeding like 30kg weight limit. All i can hope for now is that Eelis and Chels dun go over their baggage limit then i can carry mine over! Heehee....*praying hard*
I think tmr morning (or shd i say later this morning) i need to get up early to selectivly remove some stuff form my luggage, to help reduce the weight. Feels as if i didn't really pack much....just lots of bulky and heavy stuff....this is total crap!
Anyway, went out with Nic in the afternoon to catch Million Dollar Baby....pretty gd show, just kinda draggy towards the end. Thought the fight scenes were nice, sad show nonetheless. If only i was that motivated to train. Hmmm, wonder if i actually train that hard for Muay Thai...what would become of me man? Well, in the first place i think my mum will be unsupportive coz she already making noise whenever i go for muay thai training! But dun care lah, still wanna continue training when i get back to perth. Found out that there's this muay thai gym in Northbridge...so i shall go check it out. ( i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the fees are not high! I'm totally broke man! )
Dinner with my parents was good. Simple yet filling and sastisfying. Sighz, it's like my 2nd last dinner with them b4 i head back. I'm really starting to feel it. Actually the feeling had already set in since the beginning of the week....been pretty restless, moody and grouchy over the past few days.... its like those 'stone' feeling where u just waste ur day away not knowing what u actually did. Like what they always say...'saying goodbye is one of the hardest things to do' Oh well! I'm so gonna miss my family and friends....seems like leaving this time round is alot harder than when i 1st went over. Guess all the excitement has now gone and u kinda know what u're gonna expect anyway.
Gonna miss the yummy cheap food, late nites out, galfriends, my parent's nagging, kids central, waking up late, being in my slack mode and muay thai training......last training for the yr tmr evening (well at least for SG). Sadness....sadness.....sadness.....Stupid time....always flies and passes by the fastest when u dun wan it too! Shitty world.....
Is being hopeful wrong?
Am I silly and stupid to be hopeful?
Sitting and waiting.
For a sign, just a hopeful sign,
Any sign will do.
Like an orphan child...parents
Like a kitten in a pet shop...a kind master
Hope is but a world.
A glimmer, a chance
That a certain longing might just come true.
Am I deluded?
I'm Lost and trapped
Lost in a word.
a world where hopes and dreams never seem to come true.
I think I'm wasting my time.
But my head and heart speaks separate.
There's a battle being fought inside.....When is it going to end?
Saturday was an awesome day! Totally had a great time man!
Still in the Chinese New Year moodie....hahaha!It just suddenly seems all good once again just meeting up and hanging out with ur mates! Nothing beats that....and of coz, there's always the ang pows to take when u go visiting all ur friends! Hahahha.....that's the ulterior motive...isn't it? Come on ....dun u ppl act all innocent now!
Anyway, Sat morning was spent home coz my cousins came over....so yea, been such a long time since i last saw them....so it was good! Caught up quite abit! Love those cousins of mine....they're like the wackiest ppl ard despite their 'more mature age'! They are like 30 but still cool and fun to fool and talk crap with! LAter that afternoon, went over to bai nian at Daniel's house (my aussie friend).... yea, so most of the UWA ppl were there......did the usual chatting and ransacking of friend's rooms to see their hidden possessions, while the guys played PS2.
Evening was still the best....had a dinner cum CNY Blitzkraft Dinner gathering at Kang's place. Yea, u know, my former canoeing team! Had such a great time there....same nonsense as always....just that everyone has pretty much grown up, looked more handsome and pretty, and practically everyone drove there....bloody hell....these rich kids! Now i really need to take and pass my driving when i head back to aust!
Group Shot....Half the Blitzkraft Senior and Junior team....
Seng (the fair one) and Me (the chao ta one)....
Wow...it was great to see almost everyone there....some sadly couldn't make it, would have been way cooler if everyone was there! There were the usualy tootfaces who always made stupid lame comments and laugh like retards...then u had the 'cannot make it' grp of ppl....and of coz the jokers of the lot...the lame ass few and the sane others. I think everyone hasn't seen each other in ages coz whenever someone walk thru the door, there was always this uproar thingy that went on followed by stupid comments....but i bet everyone had fun....loads of laughter...really felt the CNY spirit and the Blitzkraft Team bond once again...something i haven't felt in possibly the longest time.
ok.....i dunno what the hell Seng is doing spoiling out pic....anyway, that's Mich and Me!
Me, Bao,Shawn and Anthony aka BURDEN.....my seniors....
Dinner was good....proceeded on the floor where the gambling stations were opened as the Chelsea and Everton match went on telly. So yea, the guys were pretty much multi-tasking, watching and gambling at the same time. One side was playing bridge and there other blackjack. Raj (our indian team mate) was the best lah, right hand held bridge cards, the other blackjack cards and his eyes on the tv watching soccer. Now that's really muti-tasking and investing at the same time. Not too bad eh! On the other hand, our dear Anthony aka Burden lived up to his name....he's called burden for a reason man! Poor child....not only was he the burden of our team, but he was super suay man! Think he lost quite a bit of money despite being the banker....seemed tat whenever it was his turn to be the banker, the rest of us took turns to obtain a blackjack in every other round. PLayed in-between as well and our poor burden seemed to have this tendancy to hit the limits despite having really good cards....so yea, lost more in the end, nonetheless, good for the rest coz the pool money jusy kept growing! hahahha!
While some ate at the table.....
.....the rest gambled their way thru the nite...while the chelsea and everton match was in action......
The entire evening was great....enjoyed myself....thanxs to Kang for opening his place and hosting the gathering...shd have more of such stuff, but its just too hard to get everyone together....now that everyones busy and all....but i think it will wreck havock if the whole blitzkraft was there.....that blitzkraft for U!
Lovely.....reunion dinner with all my relatives at COCA Restaurant.....was grandma's treat man, all 4 tables filled...wonderful! 
Ok....this is the end result when make an entire table of children (courtesy of my cousins) lo yu sheng......what a mess, i think half the plateful of carrots flew out!
Nonetheless, CNY has been pretty good this yr. Loads of ang pows (YEAH), got to meet up with all my relatives (its good to see everyone so close and all....haven't seen all of them since i went to aust). I realised this yr i didn't really gamble as much as the other years *ponders* YA MAN....i didn't really gamble! DAMN! For some apparent reason, everyone (well at least for those i visited) has turned to playing mahjong this yr! WHY WHY WHY!!!! I know it's like a 'traditional CNY game' but can't we stick to blackjack???? Not fair, what abt the ppl who can't play mahjong (eh i can play ok, just that i'm not up to standard yet!)....blackjack's so much easier so long as u can add to 21 (more educational wad)!!!!
My brother (center) leading my cousins into looking ugly for the camera!
So ya, ended up more like a baby sitter this yr! HA! While the good old folks were playing mahjong outside, i was inside taking care and playing with my younger cousins....HEART ATTACK! *WOW* Now how fun can that get!
My cousin- Charmaine and I......she's such a sweetie.... 
My lil' cousin Michelle and me....gosh she looks like a china doll man!
NVM....more visiting to come....goodie....can't wait for the blitzkraft dinner gathering @ Kang's place tmr evening....shd be good to see everyone once again!
You know what.......I hate to say this but i seriously think that Singaporeans as a whole shd work and improve on their manners and etiquette, especially when out in public! Ok....so for the many who are nice and well-mannered, know when and how to behave, and what is required as and when the time calls for it....good for ya...cheers! Keep it up! As for the rest who dun give a damn abt anything and think that the world is a stage put forth before them to display and act out their wonderous scene....Go and die lah....
Ok, i appologize for my rude behaviour here....but hey, if it was not for what happened to me on the train today, i dun think this blog would be even posted!
Ahem..... this afternoon ard 12.30pm, left my house and headed down to Kallang to teach dragon boating. So yea, decided to take the MRT down...faster and i was just too lazy to walk. Took the train from Hougang all the way down to Dohby Ghaut station. This was possibly the worst train ride i've ever taken in my entire life since i was born! Serious! Damn those ppl man!
Scene 1: Got on the train, ahhh.....goodie, found a place to sit.....ya rite....a place that i would regret choosing to sit.....i mean dammit man....of all the thousands of seats on the train, could i have been so unfortunate to have sat at that seat in that particular carriage. Well it was the lunch hr so yea, pretty full. At that moment i was just happy to have found a seat k! So, sitting opposite me was this mother and her 2 children, a gal and a boy, (prolly bwt the ages of 6 to 9) and i think their aunt, not too sure lah. But well, the 2 children were playing abt the train in that particular carriage i was in. Ok, so i thought to myself, small kid nvm. U know how they hold on to the pole and swing abt, grab the overhead handles trying to be all acrobatic......they were doing it like right infront of me lah and makin so much noise.......so i tolerated for like awhile...but no, it didn't stop there.....they started running up and down the carriage. (at the back of my mind i was hoping for them to fall...cry and ya....that would prolly teach them a lesson.....mena rite!) Wah lau, the mother can still sit there and laugh, smile at them, even tickle them, the aunt was no exception...she was in it too! Wanting to take a cat nap was pratically impossible with all tat noise going on.....then again, i didn't want to tell them off lah...u know kids....fine...i'm just too nice!
Scene 2: Nvm the kids....that i can still live with....(i like kids....but not rascles)!!!! Great, just when i thought i could block out the noise by trying really hard to take my cat nap, this 2 middle-aged ppl, again one male and a female, boarded the train at serangoon station. Remember i was TRYING to take my cat nap....there were 2 empty seats, one on each side of me. Fine....so the man sat on my left and the woman on my right....goodness...the guy was pretty big...ok, huge would be the better word....the moment he sat down i was like startled lah, and got a shock for a moment. I dun think they were related watsoever, but i would rather think they got to know each other not too long ago within that day itself. Well, nvm, so i went back to my nap......next thing i knew....there was this loud boom of a chinese conversation happening in front of me....remember i was in the middle of the both of them and they just started taking, using hand gestures and all, laughing and whatever u possibly would do in any conversation with a friend right in front of me lah...it was as if i was invisible or something! HOW RUDE! I think the woman was like half deaf man....thruout the entire conversation her head was practically in front of mine! Not to mention....she had this really appauling stinking bad breath coming out from her mouth....hey i couldn't help it, it was just so strong, no matter how i tried to hold my breath or turn my head a lil..it just flooded my whole nostril! For crying out loud.....i felt as if i was in hell....what in the world did i do to be so unfortunate this afternoon....all i wanted to do was take the train, take a cat nap and get my ass to work! I kept giving that uncomfortable look and even stared at the woman twice.....who does she think she is man.....she really treated me as if i was invisible.....(ok, i'm not ashamed to say this but......kao, i'm like this big and u can't even see me, not counting the fact that i was wearing a bright lime green sports top, surely u've gotta have seem me some point of time during the conversation that was held INFRONT of me! Bloody hell...it really pissed me off lah. The train ride seemed like forever! I really wanted to just tell the both of them off and embarress them infront of all the commuters onboard and let them in on how rude they were! But being the nice me....ahem..... i decided to be nice and spare them, and i was already all prepared to walk away to another carriage when they decided it was finally time for them to alight from the train......GREAT...WELL DONE AUNTY AND UNCLE! FINALLY....some peace at last (with the exception of the 2 childre in the background still making a racket!)
Scene 3: Boy was i wrong to even think of that....u wouldn't think my day could get any worst just on that 20min train ride. Next stop, this gal, or rather woman, prolly ard 22-25 walks in a sit next to me. Great she was holding a bible....goodie...peace....she's gonna read and now i can take my nap! Hhahaha....me and my big mouth. Next thing i knew....blasting out from her earphones from her MP3 player was linkin park's -In the End! It was not just loud....it was totally blasting...i think the ppl opposite me cld hear it as well.....are ppl in sg really going all deaf! God! What is wrong with these ppl man....i literally could hear every single word that Chester was screaming in that song....it was as good as me having my own discman playing! Great! 3 more stops and i'll be alighting! Hurry man! I just wanna get out from this pathetic train ride! Suddenly it just chanced upon me, i found it really awakard.....i mean, there's no right or wrong to it...but it was just u know- strange and weird. This 'deaf' lady sitting next to me was reading the bible (looking ever so 'holy') while listening to linkin park blasting into her ears!!!!! *ponders...scratch head* *shrugs* WHATEVER.....i mean.....WTF?
I never felt so happy alighting from an MRT train b4! It toally spoiled my mood for the day.....idiots! All i wanted to do was take the train to work........!!!!!!!!! I think that these ppl shd learn TRAIN ETIQUETTE.....so old already...no shame meh.....still complain that we young folks dun behanve properly....whatever happened to setting role model examples......this is just INSANE....Arghhhhh!!!!!
Okie dokie.....can't sleep, decided to post some useless facts that u actually need not know...but if u were as bored as me.....u get the idea....
So.....useless...or did u gain any knowledge from this crap.....
