Yummy Dinner & Ice Cream Dessert vs Mr Toady's visit

ok, i noe i am back with a 2nd post for the day. is not tat i am FREE hor, is juz tat there r always unexpected situations in life. hahaha.... juz as when my housemates & i r expecting a quiet Saturday, juz as when Huiying is cooking her dinner, juz as when Tess buried herself in her bed comfortably to enjoy " Guess Guess Guess!", juz as when i was flooded with my notes and books for my essay... someone came knocking at our house. is Wai Juan! he came to return VCDs and shun bian asked us out for dinner. well, it had been a long while since we last saw him so off we went in his newly bought car. it look so much like mini cooper so we decided to name it as the "cousin of mini cooper" cos it is slightly fatter and taller than mini cooper. whahahaha...

anyway, we had a yummy dinner @ the Indian Kitchen at West End with curry indulgence. after which, we had our all time favourite, BASKIN ROBINS ice cream!!!! yes! yes! yes! something huiying & i had been longing for. the peanut butter n' chocolate ice-cream (PS: Leona, sorry to tempt u with the peanut butter ice cream ah... :D) shiok! & i found a new love from Baskin Robins, Chocolate Chips Cookie Dough! (oso all thanks to the intro by Jun, Lin, Lian & Jas @ our Ben & Jerry ice cream feast on Chocolate Chips Cookie Dough) heehee... without further description, i shall let the photos explain all (pls pardon for the unclear photos as they r taken with camera phone).

Me with my 2 scoops sundae of Peanut Butter n' Chocolate & Chocolate Chips Cookie Dough!!! well, i am a chocolate lover as all of u shld noe so tat explains y my ice cream is always chocolate indulgence. whahahaha...


a photo of anticipation... looking @ the yummy ice cream, which one shall i eat 1st?? hmmm...

yeahz!!!! happily enjoying the lovely and yummy ice-cream. wat a sinful way to pamper ourselves... whahahaha..

well, not to be selfish, i shall share with u guys wat was in my ice cream cup. hahahaha...

after the indulgence, Wai Juan drove us home. happily chatting away till our door step, i said something to scare my housemates off. "there is a toad at our doorstep!" so straightaway, huiying and tess back off. Mr Toad was resting rite infront of our door. resting very still and comfortably there. i guess if we open the door, he will juz happily jump into our house and become a member of our house. of cos we wun allow such ting to happen!

so we r discussing on how we shld get rid of it? BUT where r my 2 housemates? there they r abt 20 feet away from Mr Toad lah. aiyooo... dun tell me we r going to admire Mr Toad till he decide to go and try his luck at our neighbour next door hor... Tess even suggested to use our neighbour's slippers to throw at Mr Toad. whahaha... wat considerate neighbours we r!!! so i decided to be Miss Saviour for all. with all courage, facing tat not really attractive Mr Toad & bearing the fact tat he may decide to jump onto me, i stretched my leg to pull tat carpet on the floor. then i slapped it against the wall near to Mr Toad and "pom"!

Mr Toad finally gave me face and jumped away from my door. yippee!!!! Iris & Mr Toad battle - Iris is the winner! so quickly, i opened the door and ran into the house. my 2 housemates quickly followed behind. and there we r shutting the door tightly. i wanna take a photo of Mr Toad but i guess it was being scared away by our laughter after our victory.. hahaha... hmm... probably i will meet him tomolo morning when i go out. heehee... but for now, no more "toady visitor, pls!".

"Miracles of my Life"

before i start, i muz clarify. i am busy with my studies, busy with an essay due next week, busy with a presentation due in 2 weeks time and a report which require me to go on a field trip next week to gather info and pics. so overall i am BUSY! is juz tat i chose to be LAZY when my brain is lack of "power" to continue on writing the essay. writing bloggy is much easier. cos the flow juz come by... whahaha... okok, is all excuses but i juz like all these excuses. *blek*

for a start, let me show u guys wat i ate for dinner last nite with my housemates. heehee... we went to Salt & Battery, the ever-popular fish & chips @ Hawken Drive, somewhere near my house. i tink pic tells the story so without much of my comments, here is the photo of the yummy food tat make us continuously saying "i am so FULL" till we get home:

yummy! yummy! is really delicious lor and value for money!

as i was typing my essay, i looked left, rite, center, around my room & these caught my attention. whahaha... something tat i will flip thru whenever i feel like it. it "cure" some of my homesickness at times. here they r:

photo card, friendship card, xmas card, farewell photo album, farewell gift... these r the most precious items i ever can have... cos is FULL of feelings, memories & encouragement...


not tat i am bias, but tis is really my fav of all. cos i realised tat some of the photos here, i din even rem taking them before lah. wonder how did Jas manage to dig out from her tons of photo albums. hahaha...

with tat, it strike me a topic for bloggy (how i wish is equally as easy to strike me with ideas for my essay ah!). "miracles of my life"... meaning additional "gifts" given to me in life. yes! these additional "gifts" r referring to FRIENDS! friends who left me greatest memories of all, friends who impact my life, friends who had been thru ups and downs with me. friends whom i will still rem even is 10, 20, 3o yrs later. not exaggarating but to me, friends really form an impt part in my life. without most of them listed below (photos maybe shown somewhere in my previous entries ah, so pls bear with the repetition. :D), i guess i wun be wat i am today. apart from family, they r really the "gifts" of life...

"Gift" No. 1: Primary Sch Friends from 6A'1996 WPS

with more than 10 years of friendship (more to go!), i am glad tat they r still in my life. even without constant contact or meeting up, we r still existing in each other's life. meeting up once in a while had been something which i am treasuring very much with this grp of childhood frens...

taken during steamboat dinner in Dec 2005

"Gift" No. 2: 2/4'98 AMKSS buddies

we juz hit our 10 yrs of frenship! well, more to go definitely! with them around, i noe i can have non-stop laughter, enjoyment, "suaning", jokes and fun. so far, it was all good! once a yr gathering had been going on fine. i really really hope it will go on & on.

latest photo taken @ my house in Spore during our gathering (not complete force cos some r MIA).

"Gift" No.3: My Spice Buddies

for past, present, future, i juz noe tat they r always my NO.1!!!! a grp of frens i really cannot live without. in any aspects, they played an impt role. making me having non-stop laughter, "suaning" whenever they can, irritating me whenever possible, encouraging me whenever in need, helping me with small & big matters whenever they can and many many more tat they r there for me. is the mutual connection tat i share with every single of them tat r impt. (getting mushy here but is TRUE lor!)

my farewell dinner with them before i came back to Brissy in Feb 2007.

"Gift" No. 4: "S.H.E" from 2B26 NP

yes! juz 2 of them. Patricia and San San. during poly years, they r the greatest support i ever can have. they bear with my nonsense and mood swings during our poly years. whenever i am overwhelmed with studies, CCA stuffs, relationships & many more, they r the ones who will come by and give me a pat on my shoulders. simple action and words from them r juz good enough to make me hang on and go on further.

we r the "S.H.E" from 2B26 NP. whahaha... kinda bu yao lian ah..

"Gifts" No. 5: Mentoring Committee

not tat i will mention them very often. not tat many of u will noe their presence but they r someone who had great impact in my life during my poly years. they hang on with me for tat 1 yr in the mentoring committee. bearing with all my crazy ideas, unreasonable requests, emotional feelings & inexperience leadership. many ups and downs in the committee tat we went thru. days of hardwork and many sleepless nites tat we went thru together to get tings done r juz countless. & at the end of the day, i am glad tat i survive with them thru tis 1 yr. & i tink i still owe every single of them a word of sincere "THANK YOU!"

photo taken back then in Year 2004 before we step down as committe members

"Gift" No. 6: My housemates cum buddies in Australia

overseas studies life would not been tat interesting and bearable without them. they r, my 2 wonderful housemates cum buddies in Australia, Huiying & Tess. in fact, they r my "family" in Australia as whenever i wake up in the morning here, i will see them. all the experiences i went thru with them r precious memories tat i will bring along with me when i leave Aussie at the end of studies. long hours of chit chatting and gossiping sessions, long hours of movie marathon, long hours of house spring cleaning and our all time fav of pizza and fish & chips dinners will definitely be something tat i will miss.

photo taken during Summer graduation in Dec 2006. we r attending as our friends' supporters. in a few mths time, we will be attending the ceremony as GRADUATES! a moment tat we had been longing for & at the same time, a time tat we noe we will have to say "GOODBYE"...

okok... so much for now. can get back to my essay writing liao. pardon me for being too longwinded and mushy. hahaha... as these 2 attributes r in-born lor. whahaha... :P

familiar faces on Miss Singapore Universe 2007

hey hey... pple from AMKSS, check out this webby...

http://ch5.mediacorptv.com/wassup/ch5announcements/view/828/1/.html

see some familiar faces? was directed by Lian to check out for 1 of the girls featured and ended up we saw another one that is familiar! hahaha...

maybe becos i am not in Spore so i am not able to see their faces so often flashing for Miss Spore Universe 2007. So i am rather surprise. & they r afterall our schoolmates. definitely hope they will have good results. heehee...

my 1st day @ the Job Placement!

today is the 1st day of my job placement! whahaha... & i laze around in bed for abt an hr before i woke up at 7am to bath and get ready. need report work at 9am and i need to catch the ferry at abt 8am. yeahz! u heard me rite, is FERRY! whahaha... tis is the cool part in Brisbane tat i like. cos we can choose to take FERRY during peak hrs to avoid traffic jam. & is very cooling as the ferry sail thru the Brissy river. simply love it!

anyway, was there at the office pretty early. my managing director was not in today and so the marketing manager took over to direct me around and assign jobs for me to do. pretty easy tasks, filing and sending emails. hahaha... seems like i am an office girl sia. well, no lah. juz tat today the managing director is not around and the gal who is suppose to guide me thru was on leave too. so from next week on, i will expect something more to do. no longer can knock off 1 hr earlier and no longer feel sleepy during work ah. whahahaa... anyway, my working hrs is 9am to 5pm, 1 hr lunch break. sound cool, rite? as in only abt 7hrs work. where to find such timing in spore ah?

& today something happen which make me feel kinda paiseh ah... cos we need to start up the outlook express on the lappy i was using. then it juz wun open. so the marketing manager asked the other manager to help out. she got rather impatient as the lappy wun response. so there she is going thru the taskbar and saw the MSN. shit! it was on at tat time. i shld have off it. damn it! she opened up and asked wat is tis window messenger tingy? gosh~! then she said she wanna remove it. i was so happy tat she said so. she saw my nick, but seems tat she din mention anything. then the messenger pop up again with my email add and she asked wat's tat add. siao liao! i juz hope she dun have bad impression on me. well, i din install the msn, it was there when i was using the lappy. i merely juz logged in ah. whahaha... anyway, thru out when she keep asking abt it, i kept super cool and quiet as if i dunno anything. well, i wanna admit tat i "accidentally" signed in but b4 i could open mouth, she seems fustrated. so there i am, dun dare open my mouth liao. heehee...basically, the environment was very relaxed and nice to work in. really rather carefree style. juz tat tat particular manager seems very dominating and aggressive. better dun get into her way too often.

i have abt 10 weeks to learn abt the operations of the company and get to noe wat events management is all abt. hmm... is really abt all kind of events. whether tis is something i wanna, it seems a good chance for me to differentiate between whether my interest is in Events Management or Tourism Management. heehee...

ohhh... before i end, share a picture with u guys. whahahaha... is not i am too free hor. is juz tat i saw it tat day and found it quite creative. so decide to post it here to share mah... the leading character is none others, but my beloved youngest cousin, Mr Handsome, Lim Weizhi. heehee... and the creator of tis funny picture is none others but his cousin, ME! whahaha...

probably need to open up and see... is too small to read the words ah... whahaha... muz read words and try see the photos to link up the "story"

left: all time fav - Hawaiian Pizza

rite: new Domino Pizza, Smoky BBQ Meatball

both r juz yummy!!! :D

here come the 2 "ambassadors" for Domino Pizzas... Huiying & Philip...

or do we make better ones? Me & Tess...

quoted from Huiying "the most natural look of us". is TRUE ah! cos tis is how we look @ home with untidy hair and very shag looks. whahaha... it had been since a long time we take such "natural" photos at home ah... yeahz! & apparently our dear photographer, Philip master the skills of "shooting downwards"... heehee...

as for Sunday... a busy day ah! morning basketball @ 1030am. hahaha... together with Felicia & Hopkins, my 2 great basketball khakis, we had a 2 hrs game. yeahz! 2 girls against 1 guy. heehee... and we keep "suaning" him for his new but ugly hairstyle and he super duper irritated. whahaha... after basketball, i went for Cardio with Felicia and Fiona. heehee... continuous exercise ah... i'm not superwoman ah, juz tat feel like going so go lor. pay money for cardio pass, cannot waste mah. then went to groceries shopping with Fiona. back home at abt 5pm. and have to cook dinner and wash clothes (hand wash lor cos washing machine had been certified death few weeks ago). well, tat is overseas student life. hahaha... groceries shopping, cooking dinner, washing of clothes... still "enjoying" it... :P

end of updates before i get too boring for some of u... share tok abt other tings. saw tis from Ivy's blog and i really tink is very true. i saw tis same tingy in some email last time. anyway, juz would like to "steal" part of it from her blog and share it here...

Remember these simple guidelines for happiness.

1. Free your heart from hate.

2. Free your mind from worry.

3. Live simply.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

agree to tis guidelines? well, personally i tink is very true! it really take very tedious process to hate someone. a process tat is time consuming and effort consuming so dun waste time on a "hating" process. worries r present everywhere. i would tink is no point keep worrying and worrying. i understand at times, we juz can't help it. is natural but still even when u worry, keep to the positive side. worry for the necessary and tink positively. from point 3 to point 5, to me it means... "forgive and forget... give and take... be contented and appreciative..." :D

okok... last note for tis entry... for a sudden moment and urge, i feel like hearing a voice from someone back home. no matter who the person is, i feel so much of hearing a familiar voice from Spore. any kind soul from back home who is willing to tok to me??? is tis a sign of homesick? hmm... i guess so wor... hahaha... off to bath now, gota prepare for class tomolo...

wanna try out the steak at the Grand Central Hotel but it was packed! so crowded! not wanting to miss the show so we decided to change dinner location to Korean food. not the usual Korean steamboat tat we eat, it was another one tat was across a "bridge". heehee.. and blur me din realised tat i bought my camera along lah. din take photos... so no photos to share for tis. heehee... anyway, dinner was okok. tink a bit too spicy till my stomach still feel weird till now. hmmm...

after dinner, off we went, CINEMA!!! yeahz!!! juz love to watch movie in aussie act. cos is so much cheaper lor. student rate is only $5.70 no matter weekdays, weekends or public hols. heehee... and is free seating lor. whahaha... there we were at the cinema juz rite before the show start. & i can tell u... is a very very NICE show! we really enjoyed very much. there were lots of laughter and cheering in whole cinema ah. whahaha... & i am so in love with the melody of the theme song... "Way back into Love". nice song with meaningful lyrics and lovely music. downloaded the songs straightaway when i reached home. heehee...

after movie, still early ah. 3 of us din wanna ho home so we went for coffee chill out at Batavia. it was a very different cafe. different layout, ambience and overall feel. antique furniture and display items... utensils and cockery with different theme. there r mixture of Asian feel and Western culture. overall, it was a pleasant place with great ambience to chill out! let the pictures tell u more ah...

Peiyi & Huiying with the set of drinks they ordered. see how the drinks r presented??? nice leh...


me & Huiying... very unique way to present the drinks... simply like the little tray used to put the cups...

we had to "prepare" our own drinks with the items provided... see how attentive the gals r in "preparing" their drinks. whahaha...

i finished "preparing" my hot chocolate... coco drink and fresh milk...

tat's the flower blooming in Peiyi's hot tea... nice, rite? very unique... and she used me as the background of tis photo... i noe i spoilt the photo of tis nice blooming flower in the tea lah... whahaha...

tat's my hot chocolate... the portion kind big lor... as if i am drinking soup ah. whahaha...

something not to miss out... though is not as nice as compared to the cakes in Freestyle, still they offered a different taste and feel here...

to the rite, is the Flourless chocolate cake.... rather dry but still okok.

best order for the day! New York Baked Cheesecake. taste juz nice with the yummy ice-cream... but we r puzzled how come they used such "china" cups and bowls for tis cheesecake ah... whahaha...

overall, it was a pleasant nite out. enough to make me feel good and ready to pia for assignment tomolo on. yeahz!!! look forward to more of such next time round... heehee...

YES! I've got it!

i still rem abt 1 yr ago, at tis period of time, i was chatting with Grace abt her job placement in Sofitel Hotel. i was very happy for her when she told me she got the placement and it make me very envious at tat time. it got me so anxious too as is something tat i will be going thru in 1 yr's time...

1 yr later, today... i am pleased to announce... YES! I've got a job placement too! something tat had been making me worried for weeks... may sound nutting big deal to some pple but to get tis job placement, i went thru a round of hardwork. trying hard to maintain the minimum GPA, trying hard to go thru the interviews after interviews. finally... is a job placement, no money in return but something i had been longing for. cos i will be working in an events company. my very 1st time working in an events company. a rare opportunity tat i will cherish and put in my utmost effort. muz transform into a sponge and absorb watever i can in tis few weeks of placement. make sure i go in with an "empty bag" & come out with a "bag" full of experience. haha...

now tis is done... i can study in proper... do my assignment diligently and be a good girl for last sem ah. whahaha...

hmm... tok abt diligence... today i lost control for 2 issues. haiz... gonna control control ah... if not will only suffer more... argh~!!! muz self tok again liao... CONTROL and DILIGENCE!!!!

i realise...

"checking my study schedule for both courses, this is already week 4... reading the taggy on Aileen's blog with the msg from her mum saying abt going for her convo in tis coming July... replying my aunt's email abt confirmation on my convo date so tat she can arrange for a "whole village" travel plan asap.. telling Fiona where i would like to take photos in the uni during my convo... "

hmmm.. wat linkage is there among all these leh? it make me realise tat i am getting closer to the day i had been longing for. whahaha... week 4 signify tat i am abt one third done in the weeks of studies before end of sem. (oso implies tat assignments r due real soon!) pple discussing abt convo means tat is no longer a dream, is going to come true soon!!! i noe is still too early to dream abt convo now but i really really wanna it to come asap. i wanna give a break to all these. at tis moment, i still can't give a firm reply as to where i am heading after grad. stay on or home sweet home. but one ting for sure is tat i wanna have a break from all these studies for tis moment! give me a good good break!!! i noe i can have tis break soon... endurance for abt another 8 to 10 weeks and i will be done! i can feel it coming to me soon... whahaha... me having "wang xiang zheng" very soon ah... but is working on me leh, as in motivating and encouraging me to hang on, stay on and carry on! so more "wang xiang zheng" oso nvm ah. heehee...

my thoughts...

2 thoughts running in my mind now...

1st Thought:
"I wanna stay where I am now... Tis is where I wanna be... Pls Pls dun take it away from me! I will not be able to take it if I lose it... I REALLY REALLY wanna be here! Pls grant my request!"

2nd Thought:
"I wanna be Koala! (or usually pple call it Koala Bear) I wanna cling on, hold on, rely on and stay on... BUT where to leh?"

okok... guess tis is my shortest entry ah... whahaha... off to bath liao... need continue my studies later... :D

Dinner was @ Cybercity in Chinatown as suggested by the bday boy himself. hmm... as we din had the time to prepare bday gift for him, so the dinner was a treat for him. and he is damn lucky lor. can celebrate with so many girls... my housemates & i with his housemates and a fren. see how lucky tis guy can be ah... so many girls, really enjoy life ah... whahaha!!! here u r, our dinner:

Chill Out @ one of the bar restuarant in city!

Me, Felicia, Huiying... Cheers~~!!!

a toast to the bday boy~!!!

lucky guy with so many girls celebrating bday with him lor... whahaha...

great bday dinner celebration and a fruitful chill out session! had a long long chit chat session abt alot of tings. some r very enlightening, some very pleasant, some very interesting, some r making pple envy and alot alot more. overall, i guess everyone who is involved in the chit chat session had a great time sharing views, advices and comments. heehee... look forward to more of such session ah... cos not much chance to do it liao... esp with my 2 housemates, huiying and tess. last sem tat we r going to be spending together in Aussie. gonna miss all these good old times... :D

my memory bank is full of happy moments.. :D

as i was preparing for the job placement interview with a company on Tuesday, my mind wander off. hahaha.. cos i am stuck! so there i am, deciding to slack a bit, clear my mind before i continue, i looked into "my photos" folder. i went thru all the photos that were taken during the past 2 mths of hols in spore. whahaha... not really alot as compared to those i took in aussie. but definitely it serve a different meaning. from the folder of photos taken with family to frens, i went thru piece by piece. memories juz flow back into my mind on how did i spent my 2 mths of hols. it was the most enjoyable and fruitful holidays! all the happy moments are juz too much for my memory bank that any upsetting moments r of no effect to me. heehee... isn't tat a great ting?

i overestimated myself again. i guess no matter how many times i fly here and back to spore, at the end of the day, in the bottom of my heart, i still miss home very very much. looking thru the photos, made me realised tat i din take this 2 mths for granted and i really treasure every moment in tis 2 mths. i believe all these memories and photos will serve as a strength to keep me going on for the next few mths till i complete my degree. i strongly believe it will!

well, supposedly to make me more relax so tat i can get back to my studies, end up i came into my blog. hahaha... okok... now is time for dinner. after dinner, muz jia you for my studies!

a GOOD & refreshing swim...

haha... "scoldings" coming in for all the food photos and blogs. okok... i stop all tat temporary and post on some meaningful ones. hahaha...

i juz had a GOOD morning swim with Fiona. heehee... we signed up for the uni's GYM/CARDIO/POOL pass under the direct debit scheme for min. 9payments. each payment cost us 20bucks, so muz try to utilise as many times as we can. today is the 1st session, & we chose to SWIM! yeahz!!! is very tiring after the swim but is very refreshing!!! mind r clear off after the swim. so is time to work hard. hahaha... sometimes a workout can really refresh one's mind. look forward to next session... hmm... we shall hit for the CARDIO! yeahz!!!

okok... shall end off here cos my arms a bit aching after the swim ah. hahaha..

a simple nite out with my long awaiting favourite... yeahz!

not only do i miss the food in Spore when i am here in Brisbane. but I will also miss the food in Brisbane when i am in Spore ah! hahaha... yeahz! i really miss the Korean and Japanese food here in Brisbane. since Monday, I had been having the strong urge to eat Japanese food @ my all time favourite Japanese restaurant, Kadoya! so there i am asking my housemates and my frens to go out for dinner on friday nite. heehee... y did i wait for one whole week since i wanna eat it so much leh? well, there is a reason behind it lor. i had an interview on Friday morning. well, though is juz a simple interview, i am rather anxious abt it. as tis is the 1st hurdle i had to go thru before i can secure my job placement. anyway, a way to relax and award myself after the interview will be my long awaiting dinner @ Kadoya! heehee... as usual, i ordered my favourite Katsu-Don. well, i eaten Katsu-Don in spore before. however, i juz feel tat is not good enough. Kadoya's Katsu-Don is still the best! yeahz! heehee... with Jasmine Green Milk Bubble Tea, the dinner is just so so PERFECT! whahahaha... & becos is a friday nite, shops in city opened till abt 9pm. so there we r, went around for window shopping after dinner. is a simple nite out but i tink is good enough ah. better than keep staying @ home. i will get mouldy very soon if i stay home all the while! hahaha... juz to share my fav food, here is a photo of it. heehee...

Me & my favourite, Katsu-Don! yeahz!!! i feel so contented and satisfied now. haha...

hmm.. probably i had been here for a longer while, tis time round when i came back, the feeling of homesick seems less. not so much tat i keep tinking abt it. i can still "function" in normal mode. hahaha... although on the other side of me, i still miss home. now tat i am going thru the photos i had taken over the summer holidays in Spore with family and frens, i start to miss every bits and pieces in spore ah... recalling my wonderful and precious memories for tis 2 mths in spore. all was good, all was great. may be short but is juz all good enough for me to bring it back here and keep tings going for me. in abt 4 more mths, i can proudly announce tat "i graduated!". so now i will endure and keep on going for tis last lap of competition. in a little while more, i will be done! yes! yes! yes! i will do a good job for tis last lap. *keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!* heehee...
