When a Need becomes a Want,

SCHOOL'S GETTING BUSY!
Its amazing how im actually preparing for tutorials and stuff like that. And i must mention, a pretty great achievement that i haven't fallen asleep in any lectures, or even contemplated of not going! I can be a closet mugger here, just study and waste me life away!

My skin's becoming scaly and very dry, hate it! I still thrive better in tropical climate. Its like another more month or so before winter approaches its end. But the real summer wouldnt kick in till say january! I hope you'll fly over soon and bring me some skin food and clothes which im so in need off, but more importantly, so i can see you, and take you around! That would be so fun, but the thought of september seems so far away! And worst off, near to exams and the whole lot of assignments due, so scaryy! But i'll make time, for sure. : )

My sleeping time is totally depleting and diminishing here, despite the oh-so-good weather to just snuggle under the blanket! Like how i can only call after 10pm because people actually need to serve the nation. Which means its like midnight already here, significantly cutting down my shutting down hours.

Oh, joyce came over for a sleepover, which was fun. Our attempted to study was i would say 50% successful, and she said im a good cook! Hahah, how nice. I made spaghetti, with loads of ingredients, and garlic bread too. Which i lugged all the way back from QueenVic on a sunday! See the effort much put in there, it was worth every single bit because the food tasted fantastic. Im starting to love grocery shopping, like how to differentiate the good form the bad, seeing whats cheap and whats not. Basicaly trying to get the highest quality with the most economical value. Its funnn, !

I know its a waste of money and all, but yay! Im heading off to go skiing on august, so fun. But im scared of the cold. This time, ima mater the techniques and not just fall on butt! I have been very disturbed by an issue that si very insignificant.
But, should i get the black or white iphone? The 16Gb or 32Gb. Its killing me, and stocks are out everywhere, which means a month or two of waiting!

And i miss people, lets hope school goes well for you, <3

Nothing more than Strangers,

My really bad attempt to study today, went for a nap instead!
And i washed my clothes again today, but the results weren't any better. More fur everywhere, and white cotton stuff spread to my other clothes, its a leaving nightmare! Oh the horror and trouble of laundry, damn. Im sticking to liz idea of air drying, should do the job. Considering that we don't even sweat here and im getting fairer by the days due to the very good job i do in covering myself up like a bazhang to protect myself from the cold.

Speaking of bazhang, i kind of want to eat it now! So school books are really expensive, and i just spent a fortune on it! 4 books for a total of $220, not to mention that its second hand, can you imagine all new? It'll cost me more than $400! So school has started, pretty alright, havent doe much work because this is introductory week which means going through unit outlines and stuff like that. School's really independent here, minimal spoon feeding, and largely self reading. I must admit, lecture notes here are pretty pathetic, not in detail or even informative. And the textbooks, oh my. Its so thick, so heavy, so much to go through!


I haven't got a school bag yet, so im lugging around files and books in my hand, and trying to squeeze everything i have into the tiny sling bag which is more suitable for shopping. My friend list is expanding here which of course i see as a totally good sign. Cooking has been improving i must say, or so i choose to believe. I cooked fried rice, with minimal ingredients because of the lack of it. Like good old xp days, oyster sauce always saves the day! Im totally hooked on binbin and wangwang here. I must ay its expensive here, but whatever. I finished 3 pckts of it in just a week. Can you imagine how quickly im piling on the weight and calories.

Im usually not that crazy conscious of weight issues or anything, but on average, most people put on 2-7kg here?! So im like, thats a hell lot, i dont want to be looking like a snowman when i return. Exercising seems like a very good alternative, but i haven't got any track shoes. And eating out often and cheap pizzas doesn't seem to be helping. Its crazzzyyyy! I cant do situps either. the floor is carpeted, and i think loaded with cat fur and what not funny stuff, and doing it on the bed hurts the back. I need an alternative! Walking to school is my only form of extensive movement.

I can literally feel myself growing bigger, honestly. But i comfort myself by saying its water retention or smth, but in the long term, these self-comforting sentences aint going to help much! I want to go snow boarding, everyone's going. But im scared of the cold, it must be freezing. maybe when im more well adapted, i'll go for sure next month!

Im determined to get out of bed and head to church this sunday and later, do some grocery shopping before school starts getting anymore hectic. :)

And actually, i realise i don't really want to know anymore, its better left unsaid. Only to be found out later, when things don't really matter anymore, i still love you, <3

i still love you that very much, <3

I only choose to upload the prettier and definitely happier side of melbourne, and the goodness of the sumptous meals, which i must admit, rarely happens! But whenever it does, it thanks to tang, and her awesome chef sister!

See, doesnt it look lovely, plus some of the friends i made. Hah, i want the waffle pictures with ice cream! I'll go find it and let you people see soon. Im starting to get use to the fact that i have to get up early. And still not use to the dark alleys, scare the shit out of me each time, like i have to run back. Hate it when school ends late, its like taking a risk with the safety of your life boy. Killer !

So i alr booked my air tickets back to singapore! Yay, i know its still faraway, but at least ive got a date and a place on the plane, within the shortest quickest time possible back! So im undecided on cca here. Its like you need to pay to join! and there's so many im looking at.

I hope winter goes away soon, and summer to come! School starts on monday, back to lectures and assignments. Here goes the boredom too! till then, i still love you that very much.

Oh, im contemplating on that iphone 3gs, 17thjuly!

One-way ticket,

The bangs are growing out of control, and the hair too! Like its all over the place, cause its really cold, and it sticks out in all direction. It has become really dry, something like a bush that can catch fire easily. Dont ask me what ha hair got to do with cold weather, it just has to have some link. Apparently its going haywire ever since i got here. Definitely a link somewhere, ! Not that i am extremely bothered, but i must admit it annoys me.

So school today was a whole load of information absorbing session. Not that all were useful, but victorian police are sure one fun people. They're jokes are hilariously and they are basically entertainers! Did i mention, we got free pancakes too! How awesome is that, they give free pancakes in school. That taste pretty fantastic, served fresh, together with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream?! I think thats where all the money from school fees are going. Free pancake in school weekly.

The progression in better food i get each day makes me happy. It started off with miserable cornflakes and bread with peanut butter for 2days. Then it progressed to instant indo mee goreng. Then now, instant indo mee goreng with ingredients! Hah, the sense of accomplishment! Initially i was afraid to cook, cause no one else in the house does, its like they dont even eat, or barely. Then when i dared to, i realise i dont have anything to cook which explain the need for grocery shopping! And indo mee goreng, only cost 25cents per pack! How cheap is that, and obviously, i loaded myself with plenty of that! Oh, and their milo cereal? Its in the kokokrunch shape, but milo flavour. And it tastes really good, ! One thing bad here, there's no honey stars. Oh the horrors of there goes my oh-so-good food!

I see the need to budget my expenses, although i dont really know whats too much, just nice, or too little! Like clothes, i need them. Not for fashion, but my pathetic singapore weather friendly clothes, they're definitely not working here. And the oh-so-expensive printer, definitely a must too. Its a long term investment. Plus the daily grocery shopping. Here and there, mann, my money seems to be running out!

I think im growing fat here. Not that im self conscious or anything, like look into the mirror and see an obese female who find a desperate need to slim down cause she thinks she looks ugly and unacceptable. Its just that the red and black bands on my leg seem tighter. Maybe it shrunk cause i bath with it everyday, or maybe i really out on some weight. The cold winter, snuggling into bed and getting out to get food. Not to mention the lack of exercise because im "weak" to withstand the cold!

I dont care, i love food, and thats final! I'll eat healthy, with a few simple and easy to make recipes! But till then, maggie mee and frozen food souns like the awesome breakfast, lunch, dinner plan to me! Grocery shopping kills the arms, argh the lack of a car, i hate it.

Will you still come,
If i packaged you, squashed you up,
And place you on a one-way ticket out into the cold,
Just to find me, with no return.
Then you can snuggle up on my super single bed,
And i'll feel more like home, <3

Raining winter days are gloomy,

I dont know why my blog thingy dont have the con to change colour,
And it screwes up wen i try to italic or bold it,
And basically, i cnt do much other than type!
Nevermind, kind of reflects my life now though,
Plain and simple, :)

So, i finally finally made new friends!
Yay to that, lets hope things work out somehow, although i wldnt say im a crazy outgoing person who like to randomly make new friends and is in fact, desperately trying to make new ones! Sounds like a first time for me at least! The mum's a really nice person, and she' like the only one in this entire house who really really talks to me, and listens as well. What am i to do when she goes back to sunny old singapore :(
And, the landlord, she's a rather nice lady, although im intimidated by her, i don't know, so don't ask me. Then there's this other housemate, he's rarely home. Like i wld say 96% of the time? He doesnt really need a house i reckoned. Like the mum likes to say it, "i only saw him bathed once this entire time!" Hahah, but none the less, he's nice too! Like they're all really really nice and awesome people.

Thank god for finding me a rather clean house, putting me with random strangers who actually turn out to be people that i can see myself living long term with. :) So i tried my best to attend whatever school orientation, however crappy it might be or sound, you'll not believe it, but i still went, Hah, its a joke, but honestly, i cant really be bothered. Activities are pretty pathetic cause its second intake, and right smack in the middle of semester. but on monday, they're handing out free pancakes with ice-cream and maple syrup! Say 'yay' to that, good food!

My course thingy, pretty screwed up as well! I dont know, to drop arts or not to drop! Still contemplating, havent got much time to decide, and its giving me a headache. And did i mention, its freak ass cold her cause it has raining, in winter! And i dont have a heater, plus my clothes, they arent exactly winter friendly. So, quite sad huh, i must admit, i do miss the hot, sweaty and rly sunny weather back there. Although i always complain, i'd rather those circumstances!

And, things are getting better, slowly but slightly, but i must still say im homesick alr, or so i think. Those little booklets,and stacks of postcard and pictures, they're like my bible. I read a single page a day, before i sleep, and then say a prayer and snuggle up under my blanket! Its nice, to see what people write sometimes, makes me laugh to myself, but i dont really care!

Oh, and my timetable, its really extremely slack. There's only say 5-6 lectures a week? And school days sometimes start at 9am, 12noon or even 2pm. And the best part, lessons a day vary, sometimes say 1hr till as long as 5hrs? I dont even have school on tuesday! Own time own target, own schedule. Pretty slack huh! but i can totally imagine the workload, enough for the kill.

Lastly, did i mention, school food kind of rock, its really good. For now at least, <3

You can't stray from one who draws you in,
And i wonder what are you up to now?
Drop me a message or something,
Which girl is it this time around?
The one with the fancy sports car,
Or one that every guy is after,
Why don't you tell me, love!

I miss the sweaty hot weather there!

I can't believe i'm homesick already, :(

Anw, thanks for the really, really sweet farewell, and the many many stuff and pictures and food, and everything you people got, it was really nice. Although i was being such an ass by not telling you people about flight details and all, the effort you put in, it was really sweet. And you know, thank god you people came, somehow, it still feels pretty unreal that im like here now.

I still get the feeling deep down in me that i'll be back home in 2 weeks or something, like im on a vacation now. Although i know thats not going to happen anytime soon and things like that, i really do want to go back. Let's hope things start looking up, and i'll get to meet now people and God, please find me someone nice, :P

My house is really far from the city, which means, im really far away from tang, and thts bad, cause she's the one small thing here, that makes this huge foreign land actually feel a little more like home, and travelling all the way there is such a hassle, oh the trouble and money.

And, you came! You came to see me off, not that i was expecting, but you came. It wouldn't be long before you move on and stuff, everything was just weird. I miss everyone and everything.

I hate to say this liz, but guess you were right about, "Going all the way there just because you hate social science?!" Im totally contemplating of coming back, imissyou too!

The funeral of the Phone

Busy, busy, busy! I need to start getting up early, oh the horrors. Packing's not anywhere near done, and i seriously need a phone, immediately. I can't believe it failed today, of all days, today! Kept sending messages to wrong people, because it hangs. Then cant pick up people's call, because the keys somehow dont function. Cant message anyone at times, cause every button i press keys in a '0' each time, which means it either cant do a spacing, or spaces out too much. Pretty much suck huh! I think it needs a proper funeral now, for good.

I shall settle for an army phone, back to old school days, i only require the basics! Oh, and thanks for the presents, i love that oh-so-good white chocolate with the popping candy inside! Hahah, going to ration it really well, but lets hope it'll get pass immigration! I'll kill them if they attempt to throw it away. Thanks polar, you're the best!

And, and, and i didnt forget about you too! Thanks for the present, i haven't really opened it yet. But im pretty sure i'll like it. Somehow, it'll be good right? I trust your taste cause i trust mine best! J's my love, <3

The chances are pretty rare and slim,
But i cant believe you haven't called, or drop a message!
Argh, its really annoying to keep switching about 2 sim cards especially when the phone isn't really playing a good supporting role! Don't do a last mintue on me, cause as much as i want to make it work and create some time, the clock can't stop ticking. Maybe that few hours was enough, i don't know. But just so you know, What you see in me is the exact image of what i portray you to be. Honestly, i don't even know why do i care, damm.

I would love to put on a pretty fullstop to this,

I hate lousy hairdressers,

Yesterday was a total blast, and i really, really, extremely love the girls. I want to do all this all over again, but no more time left, sad much! Everything was good, and lovely, and finally, for one time, we got to meet up again, yay! Sometimes i kind of miss school, at least i got to see them everyday and know where they are, what they're doing and stuff like that. Now, its just so difficult to even get everyone together.

PizzaHut and bubble was really good with min, all the trashy conversations that we have, and how she would tell me of the most absurd stuff ever. Oh, and she bought me another red ball, but sadly, i didn't get my MrBump still. Thanks anyway, and for the fantastic macaroons too! Oh, the goodness that food brings, forget about weight issues! Haircut turned out bad though, not that there was much chopping and sawing, but still, that tiny bit of trimming was already enough for the kill! Don't cry my dear, remember i'll buy you wig.

Then we had dinner at chef tan's house. For all the painstaking effort, THANKS ELIZABETHTAN! I'm going to miss that girl, oh the horrors! And how she'll constantly mention, at random times i must say, "I can't believe that you're really leaving!" Yah, neither can I, I don't want to go. Despite the really bad and sarcastic remarks, the food was honestly good, and if you're really going to open your restaurant, I'll be your waitress, for free, promise! And i think i'm pretty capable of that, like taking orders and stuff, defnitely much better than what aggie portrayed me to be like, for sure!

Partying was awesome. I can barely remember the last time we went for a party together, all 6 of us. So, it was really nice that we could actually do it again. Although Ro had to leave halfway, i still feel pretty bad that you people had to compromise for me by going all the way down. And Ro, i pray that you'll be fine! Some day they'll understand, but till then, you got to give in. And i finally met feng for the longest time ever. Still the same, partying as hard as ever, but si still love her much.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER! Not to mention, Macdonald's breakfast still taste as good as ever after a really nice sleepover that is.





Like how its sweet and all, I don't really like the idea
