my 1st Maggi Noodles Supper session... yeahz!!! ...awaken @ 8am when i slept @ 4am lor...

last night was a happening night again... haha... (come to tink, i tink i am more hardworking in playing & having fun rather than studying... oh no...)

originally we wanna go the Ekka Festival today so last nite was hardcore studying. however we ended up deciding to go for the Ekka on this coming Sat so today is hardcore study. end up last nite, it was fun and party night. we had a gathering session @ Joyce's room. we played UNO (finally Felicia's shipment arrived with some form of entertainment)! it was fun as most of us forget how to play UNO lor... heehee... last nite, there was no such ting as forfeit (not like previous time when we played, we drew on each other's face... so cute ah...). last nite as less aggressive. but still we had fun playing UNO & Dai Dee..

then the playing session end around 12.30am. continue from there is supper & show watching in my ROOM. yes! we had our 1st maggi noodles supper session! it was the 1st time i used my electric pan to cook my maggi noodles. it was so so delicious!!! Joyce, Tess, Huiying & Isaac came to my room. we each had our own noodles as supper. (there goes my 30 laps of swim when i eat the supper lor... sad... :(... haha) but it was simply to nice to resist. then we watched the taiwan variety show "wo chai, wo chai, wo chai chai chai!" haha... is a damn funny show tat we actually laughed quite a lot. (dunno if my neighbours can hear???) overall it was a great nite which end around 2.30am & i slept at around 4am after finishing the last bit of my assignment. heehee...

today is Racing Day for the Australian. early 8am, my neighbour on his music SUPER loud tat i was awaken by his music & i am feeling damn damn tired. i slept @ 4am leh... oh gosh~~!!! but nvm lah, once a yr event, no wonder they r excited abt. the locals & some other students r so well dressed & they r all ready to set off for the racing day. haha... seems fun sia! yeahz! anyway, now in the hostel is damn quiet with almost everyone out to have fun. we decide to stay in as we planned to go out tis sat, so now need study!!! today everyone really very guai... all studying real hard... & i have little surprises for them later @ dinner. heehee... i bought their fav fruit -- strawberries! yeahz! later shall share with everyone over dinner as a form of reward for hard work ah... haha...

anyway, got to go & bath.... yeahz!

i miss my brother very much... "kor kor, thanks for everything u did for me!"

i juz received an email from my brother. he sent some photos to me as i actually asked him to take some photos on 7th month celebration so that i can insert into my oral presentation.

when i saw the email, i was very shocked as kor kor actually sent it to me so fast. i told him last friday & on Monday morning, i got it! i am very touched by his concern & care. i realise how silly i was in the past when i was in spore that i did not really treasure the time with him. i always said he dun dote on me. i always tell pple that he no longer love me becos he got a gf. now that i am in Australia, i noe i am totally WRONG! kor kor is still my best brother. he dote on me as i am his ONLY sister. is a LOVE tat will never change no matter how old we grow.

i may be exaggrating but i really feel very warmth in my heart for watever he did & is doing for me now. last week he sent me a video of himself & i really cried upon watching it. simple words from him but is really very warmth.

i noe i have a wonderful brother. i noe i can rely on my brother in watever i do. i noe even the whole world turn their back on me, my brother will always back me up & support me. i noe my brother will nv abandon me no matter wat happen. we may have arguments & quarrels but i noe he is always there for me.

i dunno how to express my feelings in words now. i am juz too agitated. but i have a few words to tell kor kor here.

to kor kor: i am very sorry for not treasuring u in spore & always scold u. i dun mean it. u r my ONLY brother. i do care for u. i am jealous when u r so good to gf & forget abt me. i tot u forget to love me as ur sister. now i realise i am WRONG. kor kor, i am getting very mushy & childish now. but i noe u r the only one who allow me to do all these. i really miss u very much... really really miss u... muz take good care of urself & always update me on ur stuff. thanks for all the care & concern u gave me all these while. i really appreciate everything tat u did for me. u r a GREAT brother! Love u!

1 mth in Australia....

oh my gosh... tonight is freezing cold. is abt 5 degrees outside & it is raining. even in the room with my heater on, i can feel the coldness. i am wearing my jacket to sleep sia...

tomolo will be a long day with all readings for my assignment. no time to waste liao... so muz really start on it so tat at least i feel better. no shopping or outing tomolo. as for sun, as usual... my laundry day & i am going to swimming! yeahz! a bit crazy when is winter & we still wanna swim. haha...

today spent a bit $$$ on shopping again. tis mth's expenses surely exceed. i tink muz re-calculate my budget & limit my usage of $$$ again liao... if i carry on using the $$$, sure 1 day i will be broke sia...

i am still waiting for my Tax File Number & Blue card. i need tax file number for finding a job... blue card so tat i can do my volunteer work. somehow without some kind of volunteer work in life make me feel bored, upset & too much time to tink too much. i muz faster find some areas to keep myself real occupied. everyday study & study will go mad ah... every time go out oso no good... haha... spend $$$ mah...

haiz... life is so unpredictable leh... u nv noe wat will happen next & who will leave u. if u have anything undone, faster do it. if u realise all along u nv cherish ur loved ones, faster show them tat u love them. dun wait till 1 day u say tat u regret as u have lost all the chance to show them tat u care for them.

come to tink, i nv realise how much i am bonded to my family until i left for aust. when i am here ALONE, i realise how impt HOME can be, how much love & warmth family can bring to me... i really MISS my family... is already 1 mth in aust but the homesick feeling will nv be gone. though i have a lot of frens around me here, i still miss home & tink of my family.... i will definitely cherish them more when i get back home 2 yrs later with them...

i love my lecturer... she is so pretty....

yesterday i stand at the photocopy machine to photocopy 1 of the textbook for my course. well, the cost of the textbook is A$80. after 1 hr of standing, i manage to save A$62 as the photocopying only cost me A$12 & binding another A$6. haha... worth it to stand for 1 hr rite? yeahz!

well, assignments, assignments.... so many of them due in the next few weeks but all seems so chim & difficult cos the system and pattern r so different. so much research needed to be done. i juz hope i can finish all these on time & cannot fail ah!!! oh gosh... scary sia... haha...

hmm... last nite i study until 1 plus to 2. very very tired... today 10am lesson but i love tis lecture. is a lecture on Event Facilities Management. i like it very much & the lecturer is very good too. she is pretty, nice & most of all her lecture r so much understandable. she is always to the point... nv beat around the bush & make sure we r all expose to the relevant points. yeahz! i simply love her teaching. she is my tutor for another subject. haha.. so lucky sia! she is very pretty, got such good and nice dress sense. enjoy looking @ her ah... heehee..

ok... got to run for class liao... cya!

i spend A$90 on shopping today... oh gosh....

haha... today was a happy & fulfilling shopping trip. however, i did spent quite a lot today. oh gosh... die ah... spend too much liao...

today we went to Harbour Town, somewhere near to Gold Coast for shopping. Huiying went there before so she came back & tell us tat things there r quite cheap and worth while to buy. so we all decided to go for it & check out if there is any good & worthy items. it was a long long journey from hostel to Harbour Town. we need to take a bus to change to a train & then take a bus to Harbour Town & total journey time is abt 2 & a half hours. oh my god! all of us was complaining along the way & is really tiring sia... so we MUZ get something from Harbour Town after all the travel.

when we reached Harbour Town, we went separate ways so tat we can get on shopping faster. as our group of pple too big liao. so me, felicia & tess went on our way to SHOPPING! act i wanna give it a miss cos i scared i spend too much. but i still went along. when we started to walk around, we went to shop after shop. there were many shops and warehouses there. tings r selling at relatively cheap price for some items. there were NIKE, CONVERSE, ADIDAS & FILA warehouses. there were many other small & big shops around. when we went to FILA, i saw a PINK color pullover which look quite nice. price is still ok. then when i went to CONVERSE, i saw a RED shoe... price is much cheaper than spore. when we went to Jays Jays (australia local brand), i tried a few tops which i find 1 BROWN & PINK collar tee not bad... so end up tis is wat i bought:
- a CONVERSE red color casual shoe @ A$35
- a FILA pink color pullover @ A$24
- a JAYS JAYS brown & pink collar tee @ A$20

in total, i spent A$79 on shopping. then lunch was A$5, bus fare was A$6. so in total my expenses for today is..... A$90. which is super, alot alot ah... i am scared by my own actions too.
all these items r not super cheap but i tink is worth the $$$. ever since i came here, i nv spend any $$$ on real shopping. today is the 1st & i hope is really once a while. tis month spend so much, then rest of the days in tis month, i muz save as much as possible. as for next few mths, i muz save too. once i get my tax file number... i muz go apply for job liao. got income then i feel better when i spend.

anyway, assignments r due 1 after another. really no more time to waste!!! oh gosh... haiz... 1000words, 1500words, 3000words essays... i am going CRAZY soon... ohohoho....

i save a lot by standing for 2hrs to photocopy my textbook... yeahz!

wow~!!! i juz stand in front of a photocopy machine for abt 2 hrs to photocopy 2 of my textbook. it is kinda tiring sia... back in spore, i nv had to do such ting. usually i buy the textbook or juz send for photocopying @ photocopying shop. however in aust, when textbook r so exp... usually students will photocopy textbook. & everyting had to be done by ourselves. no one is so free to do the photocopying for us.

juz as wat i did like everyone else. i stood there for 2 hrs to photocopy my textbook which is abt 400pages thick. it was a long stand and i am kinda tired after tat. my hands r numb sia... however, i save a lot in tis way. in total i only spent abt $30 for 2 books plus binding. i guess all these effort r worth it. haha... cos price for 1 textbook is abt $80. see...i did have savings afterall. so i seriously dun mind standing there for long hrs ah... hahaha... i am waiting for my next book to be available in the library and i am going to do the same ting. stand for 2 hrs and photocopy. cos there r research individual assignments for the course so i need TEXTBOOK!!! but is too exp to buy... no choice but to photocopy... (usually pple dun care abt the watever 10% copyright tingy... ahah)

life so far had been quite pleasant for me. different living lifestyle as in pple here r so much relaxed. however frens around me r still with the KS pattern where they will keep on study and study. no choice lah... we r aisans after all, esp sporeans ah.... anyway, hope tings will get on smooth as days go by. teaching style is so diff here. there is no tutorial quest to do for tutorial and everyting rely very much on ourselves. i oso wanna thank NP for starting us on the E-learning tingy as here i am using the same system i used back then in NP. so i dun get so unfamiliar with tings and i get thru easily. haha... good good...

i tink tat's abt it... today is my free day... later after lunch i need do readings and studying liao... haha... ok! cya!

1st BBQ in Australia...

yeahz! i had my 1st BBQ session in Australia. wow! they dun use charcoal here and is using electric pan. quite clean as in no need charcoal but is quite troublesome as we need constantly ensure that the switch is ON. had fun cooking... haha... moreover the weather is so so cool. no prespiration at all... not like in spore, after BBQ, i stink and smell like BBQ food lor...

i did the marinating for the chicken & the response was good. so not too bad after all. yeahz! James was the main chef of the BBQ & his cooking skill really not too bad. after which all of us take turns. however i din eat much cos not too feeling too well last nite & tis morning. still i cannot resist the food & ate quite a lot. haha... (now sore thorat liao...)

today was a surprise birthday party for Amy, my new fren from Korea. she was surprise & very touched by wat we did. oso the card and present we gave her. haha... the card was specially made by me. yeahz! comments was good when they all see the card. haha... my effort paid off after all... yeahz!

overall, today outing was fun and great. sch already started but still we muz enjoy in between breaks esp when is only starting. from next week on... muz work real hard as there r so many assignments due. oh my gosh... haiz...

imagine, 3000 words essay... abt 6 to 8 pages. can die sia... but no worries! i will endure and go thru it with faith! yeahz!

2 weeks in Australia...

it had been 2 weeks since i arrived in Brisbane, Australia. how time flies... tomolo sch will be starting officially and it will be a hectic time for everyone as it is the 1st week and 1st semester... dunno how the system goes and everything had to be learnt from scratch. well, at least i noe i wun be alone as i noe there r pple around me to assist me and guide me along too. heehee.. :)

before sch officially starts, of cos i muz enjoyed myself 1st. yesterday, 23 July was the most fruitful day i had ever since i arrived in Brisbane. We had a long long day of fun from morning 9am to night 10pm. In the morning, we (me, Joyce, Felicia, Tess, Philip and Cardy) went to LONE PINE KOALA SANCTUARY. it was abt an hr journey from sch to LONE PINE. we had to change 1 bus and the waiting time was abt 20mins. while waiting, we took some photos of the street of Brisbane early in the morning. haha... it was clear blue sky tat is so so pleasant.

when we reached LONE PINE, bought the entrance tickets, enter the sanctuary, gosh... it started to drizzle. is juz not our day when it start to rain. but thank god... the rain stopped after a while so we can continued journey. we went to sheep dog show before proceeding to see the animals. there were kangaroos, wombats, white wolves, tasmania devil, birds, parrots & not forgetting the most important one... KOALAS! yeahz! there were many many Koalas around... however all of them were soundly asleep under such fine weather and cool environment. diff types of Koalas are placed in different areas. there were an area which i like most... tat is the Koala Retirement Area... haha... all the koalas there r soundly asleep... heehee... there were a cuddling area where pple can hug the koala and take photo. & tat cost A$15. in the end, only Cardy took the picture. haha... the photo was nice cos the Koala was very cute (not Cardy tat is cute lor... haha) everyone's comment on the photo was tat they have father & son look.. haha.. gosh...

after the sanctuary, we took a bus to city.. another abt half an hr ride to city to have our lunch. finally after 2 weeks, i had noodles! is not pasta, is real chinese noodles. i ordered Char Siew Noodles, tinking is like our spore wanton noodles... to my surprise tis Char Siew Noodles was like grandma's fried noodles plus some big pieces of Char Siew. well, not too bad after all, at least i can eat something different from college's western food. it as costly though... abt A$9... so cannot eat out unnecessarily. haiz...

then we went to walk around Southbank and took a Citycat Ferry from starting point to end point. as we bought a concession ticket tat allow us to take unlimited bus, ferry and train rides for 1 whole day, so y not? haha... we enjoyed the scenary around Brisbane River and it was damn cold sia! after abt 1 and half a hr, we went to Botanic Garden to join the rest (Leona, Huiying, Amy, Chris, Nozomi & some IH pple) for the outdoor concert cum fireworks. we watched the concert and it was rather enjoyable with different type of music. there were music by local bands, local ochestra and local choirs. the 2 items i enjoyed most were the scottish band and The Strike from New Zealand. it was simple marvellous and cool... yeahz! the grand finale was full of impact and the ending was a series of fireworks. there were so beautiful and bright... reminds me of Spore's fireworks... haha... we went specially to watch the fireworks. so we had such enjoyable time... wowing here and there... haha...

it was a long long day... we really were all tired out... we took a city cat ferry back and by the time we r back to college, it is already abt 10pm. gosh... tat is so so late... haha... though we r tired, we had fun. cos we really did quite a lot of tings and took so many photos... wow! (stay tuned to my yahoo photo album for the photos... yeahz!)

alright... back to now... i got to start sch tomolo and prepare for a challenging and interesting studying life ahead. my aim is there and i will remind myself tat i will try my best to achieve it. yeahz!

okok... to all my dear dear family and frens in spore, i am very FINE in brisbane... pls take good care of urself back home and i will keep all of ya update abt myself every now and then. till then, see ya and take care! love and miss all of ya... :)

departure for Brisbane... all my tots and happenings

yeahz! tis is my 1st blog since i arrived in Australia. i juz had my internet set up yesterday so i am trying to get all the admin stuff done asap. hopefully i can sign up for my course as soon as by tis week.

anyway, too much to say so shall slowly start off from the day i left, Sat, 9 Jul 2005. i was taking the nite flight of QF52 from SIN to Brisbane. when i set off for airport, it was almost abt 6.30pm. before i reached, i received call from Pat tat she reached airport liao... aiyo, she more KS than me ah... haha... anyway, when i reached, it was just nice for check in. crossing my fingers for the luggage tat exceed weight limit, i went to the counter and check in. i looked at all the counter staff and all seems ok ok... so i juz went to 1 counter and act frenly and pitiful. then when i place my luggage on the weighting machine, haha.... it was 33kg! but she din mention anything abt exceed weight limit and i went thru! yeahz!

after check in, my frens arrived. jun and lin was 1st 2 to be there. as usual, lian was late... haha... when i saw them i was so so happy cos i noe at least got pple send me off ah... haha... then soon phone rang and msg came in and blah blah.... before i reached airport, i was msging fang & in my mind, i juz hope she will come to send me off oso. then after a while, my mentoring buddies, Audrey, Fiona, Seh Inn, Wee Keong came. it was very nice of them to come and sent me off. i was very pleased to see them.

then after tat a call came to ask me where i was. i ans tat person not knowing who he is ah. u see, how blur i can get sia.... then soon all my family (dad and mum's side) all arrived. happy family photo taken and is like big big gathering. everyone was commenting how come my hand carrier so big... haha... they nv see my check in luggage, they will faint sia... then after tat, pat and san san arrived. yeahz! very happy to see them & i was very touched by their present. it was a photo album photos i taken with each of them. they r so good and kind to do it for me. (PS: poly 2B26 frens, THANK U for the photo album (esp thanks to PAT ah...) i really love it and is 1 of my best companion for my stay in Aust now!)

then phone rang, it was fang! haha... she is really in the airport. i went over to meet her. then we spoke for a while. she passed me a card then as we tok, gosh.. she cried. she was hugging me and cried. making me wanna cry too. i keep telling myself to be strong and cannot cry so whoever i see, i act tough... heehee... i not bad leh, i did it ok! i was really very very happy to see fang and is at least before i leave for aust. yeahz!!!!! she gave me a letter of msg which i told her i will read on plane cos if not i sure cry on the spot. after saying "bye bye" to her (very unwillingly bye bye ah...), i went back to my other frens and took some photos here and there. msg keep coming in but i nv reply or read cos i scare i cry. pple gave me cards and i oso nv read cos i scare i cry. fiona gave me mashmallows but i can't bring along so i asked aunt to bring home. but still i appreciate a lot!!! (PS: mentoring buddies, thank u for coming... will always rem the fond memories we had together! yeahz!)

then lian came. she came with a photo card. haha... i saw lin and jun signing it but i nv go disturb lah. i very good one. so i juz tok to baolai and chee wei who oso came. so glad to see them. i din tell baolai i was leaving but he say beng hwa told him. then beng hwa oso called me cos he say he is sick, cannot come down. he oso said tat he tried very hard to ask Chee kiong to come down but Chee kiong cannot make it on time. nvm lah... is ok. cos Chee kiong called me to tell me tat he can't come and wish me all the best. it was kind of him but i noe all these feelings are so diff and is no longer wat i wanna liao...

anyway, when the photo card was done, lian and all wanna pass to me but i keep running here and there. haha... until they oso very irritated liao. so quickly before i go in, i stood before them and see the card. it was a very nicely done card and i am so so so touched!!! got msg in it, i oso nv read until i board plane. (PS: my spice buddies, i am very very touched by tat card. 1 of my best companion here too! u guys played an impt part in my life so when i am aust, i will continue to miss all of u and tink of u all & pray for all ur well being...)

before i went in, alot of msg came in. msg from jasmin, shuwei, shupei, shiying, jenny, hafeez, zhirong, hui... hafeez even called me in the afternoon to wish me all the best. it was his bday party tat day ah... haha... so kind of him. (PS: thanks, guy! is so nice of u to call)

when is finally time to go in, i took all my bags. all 3 of them, so heavy ah... carry a back pack, carry a sling bag and hold on to a laptop bag. i bid all of them goodbye. hug every single of my gal frens who came and then said thank u to all of them and say GOODBYE to them for last time and unwillingly went in the custom. i din cried lor... i was strong and tough. i din wan to let them worry so i promise not to cry means cannot cry. i did it ah! yeahz!

when i was at the boarding area, i was so scared cannot go thru. cos bags like too big lor. then when i finally clear of the custom area and waiting at transit area, i was so so glad. haha... i went thru ah!!! yeahz!!! then at the transit area, i called aunt to tell her i went thru. then i was a bit on the crying verge but i din break down. i was tough, wasn't i? haha...

i board the plane clumsily with all my bags and then when i was sitted at the seat, very ma fan cos i cannot keep my laptop under the chair in front. too big ah... tried for a while before i get tings organised and then wait patiently for plane to take off. i saw the viewing gallery full of pple. i can sense tat my family r there (yeah! i am rite... my cousin told me tat she was there with my auntie... haha). finally i cannot tahan and tears rolled down my cheeks. the 1st tear came down and it juz continue like running tap. din noe wat to do to stop juz try not let others see, esp the one next to me see. anyway, after a while, i was ok cos they serving supper ah... so paiseh if they see... after supper, i took out all cards and msg to read. once again, cannot tahan, tears roll down again. i cannot control ah...i cry until i tired and slept. but when the light went off, i woke up after a while, then i start outside the plane, saw stars... then i feel the loneliness and tears rolled down again... it was a very painful airplane ride where i din enjoy any of the online entertainment and was so uneasy all the while. then cry until tired, slept a while before i saw the sun rise which means reaching very soon....

when i reached brisbane, it was very very cold... i wore my jacket straight. when i was waiting for luggage, i keep planning how to carry so many items with my 2 hands. then slowly i manage to get the luggage down from the conveyor belt and finally into the custom clearance area. when i finally clear from the custom, i was so happy cos they din check my bags. haha... finally i was in Brisbane! yeahz!!! waited a while for all to arrive before we set off for our respective lodging places. when i reached Union College, my hostel... a bit of problem as they cannot find my key to my room but after a while it was ok. the weather was very cold and windy... when i got up to my room, it was rather small room but still ok. it was at a very far end unit with no one in the block yet... sad... but i have no worries cos i noe soon more pple will move in... hehe... so there i am start to unpack my stuff and prepare my room for cosy stay... yeahz!!!

shall continue tomolo as is time for sleeping now...

*0 day to the BIG day! today is the BIG day!

i like my new hair cut!!! is so studious & refreshing looking... haha...

heehee... i did a few tings tis afternoon. is all abt personal grooming...

first of all, i went to Far East Plaza for eyebrow trimming. hmm.. asked the lady to trim it thinner for me as i dun wan it to grow too fast until like a patch of grass on my face... haha... cos when i am in aust, i oso dunno where to find cheap eyebrow trimming. okok.. do some advertisement here 1st. it was my frenz who intro tat eyebrow trimming shop to me & i had been going back there cos is quite cheap as compared to outside & the skill not bad... (u take a look @ my eyebrow lah... then u will noe how good their skills r... heehee... is only 6bucks lor... isn't it cheap? lian told me the shop next to it oso 6bucks... haha... anyway, for those who dunno which shop i am referring to, is JS Beauty Paragdiam @ Far East Plaza Level 4)

after eyebrow trimming, i went for a hair cut. i wanna cut my hair short so tat it wun grow too fast when i am in Aust. then when the stylist asked me if i juz wanna trimming, i told her i wanna it short. so she suggested it to be cut to a length tat is slightly below my ear if not my big round face will look BIG with shorter hair length. guess tat was my initial idea oso... heehee.. so there she is, start to cut. i like the way she cut my hair... cos i wanna to layer my hair, so the way she cut my hair is like sloping down way of cutting, giving my hair a bit of freezy feeling. i oso did the hair coloring to cover my white hair... did the treatment for the hair color... as usual i took the package & tis time i got the membership card. 10% off on weekends & 20% on weekdays. haha... y i wanna it when i am leaving for Aust, rite? well, my family can use mah... haha... ohhh... forget to mention which salon i went to. Yeahz! is the KIMAGE @ Toa Payoh. i like their service there & the pple there r quite frenly. skill not bad oso. esp my stylist today, i quite like her. usually i dun specify a stylist when i go. next time, i shall specify tat i wanna her ah... (hmmm... tat will be at least 1 or 2 yrs later ba...)

oso haven't say whether i like my new hair style ornot... hee hee... of cos i like it! @ 1st when i look in the mirror, a bit dun like cos is like weird weird one... then when she combed properly for me, heehee... i am in love with my new hair style. it make me look studious ah... i feel so light in tis hair style and refreshing... overall, 100 points for my hair style cos i like it! color oso ok as white hair is gone... no need so obvious to pple i color my hair but as long as white hair is gone, then ok lah... haha...

with tis new look of hair style, i shall set off for Australia tomolo! yeahz! certainly look forward though there r some feelings of 不舍得... :(

last nite in spore... my dear & HOME SWEET HOME...

last nite in Spore, wat shall i do? hmmm... i juz wanna stay home & close to my family to enjoy the last bit of feeling of HOME. maybe if bro is home, i will ask him wanna go KTV or not... haha...

Parting is always a sad feeling... it is nv an easy task to accomplish. be it whether it is life & death parting, temp parting to leave home or watever, it is always the most painful feeling to leave ur LOVED ONES... i deeply and really feel tis kind of feeling in my heart now.

for the past 1 week, it had been an emotional challenge for me. i had to bear with the feeling of parting and endure with tat pain tat is constantly piercing in my heart. tis is the last nite i am spending in Spore, my home... though i had been a couch potato @ HOME for the past few mths, i still have the 依依不舍 feelings & in my heart, it is already having tears rolling down... i dunno how long i can hold back my tears (i already cried a few times when i was blogging...). not yet in front of my LOVED ONES tat i cried. i am trying to hold back as i dun wan tis whole ting to turn out be an emotional and tearful one. is suppose to be a happy ting as tis is such a great opportunity.

parting is part & parcel of life... it is something which we all have to face & bear with it. i will have to put up with the pain of parting with my HOME, parting with my FAMILY, parting with my FRIENDS, parting with my beloved SINGAPORE. it is not going to be easy... but i noe i will try my best to be strong and tough so as not to let those who love me worry for me. it was until today then i noe there r so many pple who love and dote on me & i muz learn to treasure and cherish all these. 我是幸福的！！！ 我真的很幸福！！！ 我很满足了！！！

*1 more day to the BIG day!

14yrs of frenship... i really wanna 感谢 my pri sch frens...

14yrs of friendship... wow! it is such a long period... it is more than a decade... i am very very glad i am still in close contact with tis batch of friends whom i noe since Pri Sch. they had been the best & longest buddies i ever can have.

there was a period of time, i tried to keep away from them as i din noe how to face them when we r living in different environment & tat most of them r in prestigious Sec Sch while i am in a neighbourhood sch. however, i was wrong. they r still my frens no matter wat & they r still always ever ready for me when i am rather distance from them. i can always feel their warmth and concern. i was angry with myself for tinking bad abt how they will treat me when we r in diff Sec Sch.

thru out the yrs, our lifestyle changed & we r busy with our own tings. we seldom have time to meet up & soon we r drifted apart. however, frens r for life. we may not have the most common topics on earth to tok abt & we may not have the full understanding of each other, we r still the best friends to be staying close together forever. when we get together, we will tink back of the times when we r still in pri sch & how carefree life had been & share with each other wat we r doing now & wat we look forward in future. in our heart, we care for one another. we r not those who constantly meet up but we nv fail to disappoint anyone when it comes to once a yr gathering (i am apologise 1st... my absence in tis 2 yrs will make me unable to attend the gathering during CNY liao...). no matter wat i am glad tat i came across such wonderful buddies from pri sch.

to all my pri sch frens: thanks for playing a part in my life. it is the most carefree period in my life which i deeply appreciated. we had fun together & we been thru sad moments. u will always be the best part of memories when i tink back abt the past.

to Yunci, Xinxian & Jasmine: thanks for the farewell dinner @ Crystal Jade (to tink we can sit there from 7pm to 10pm... haha...) u r the best best buddies in pri sch i ever can have. really feel so glad tat u all r still here for me after so many yrs. rest assured! yrs down the road, we will still be in close contact and we can spend another 3 hrs @ Crystal Jade when i come back. haha... our frenship will carry on for another 14yrs and more & more...

to Waileng: i tink i have state watever i wanna say abt u in ur testimonial. all i wanna say is tat i really wanna THANK U for being my fren and always there for me. oso to thank u for giving me a chance to be ur fren. i will look forward to u & ur bf 's visit to Aust at tis yr end. i will be a good host! heehee... :)

take good care ah, my dear friends from WPS Pri 6A'1996 (",)

绝对Superstar - route to semi-final is tough sia!!!

sad... sad... :(

juz saw 绝对Superstar... HE WEIJIAN is out of the competition. i feel sad for him ah... he is a good singer & his voice is really very good, got potential and room for grooming ah... haiz... juz too bad tat he is OUT liao... but competition is tough and cruel... surely got winner and loser, unfortunately it is WEIJIAN. haiz... however there is another round of REVIVAL round. so i really hope that WEIJIAN will treasure tis chance & do his very very best & fight for the chance to enter to semi-finals. i cannot continue to watch & support him but i definitely will continue to pray for him... heehee... moreover he is my junior from NP mah... ha...

happy... happy... :)

HONG JUNYANG is IN!!! yeahz! he is in the semi-finals. wow! tat's simply great & i feel so happy for him. his voice is elastic too... can have various changes & he is trying to build his style. he muz continue to do his best & soon everyone will realise his potential & X-factor for SUPERSTAR! yeahz! can't watch his performance anymore but certainly hope he can go further and pray hard for him too! heehee...

Happy & Unhappy... mixed feelings...

got 2 happy tings & 1 sad ting to share... share the happy ones 1st...

firstly, the host city for 2012 Olympic is finally out!!! yeahz!!! London won ah~~~!!!! so it will be London 2012...yeahz!!! so good & wonderful. i saw London & New York's presentations on TV tis morning. was very impressed by New York's presentation as their slides were very well done & impressive. & can see tat lots of work had been put in. then when it come to London, i was more touched than impressed. their presentation indicate the passion of Olympic & spirit Olympic... in their presentation & videos, i saw hopes tat all athletes will look forward since young. it is an undying Olympic spirit tat unite pple all over the world & a spirit tat everyone will hope for since young. it symbolise HOPE, PASSION & SPIRIT. quite touching after watching it. so i was glad tat they won...

oso since London won, i have another target in mind liao... heehee... i wanna go to London & travel around the place so so much... & i wanna watch Olympic if i ever have the chance. so since 2012 Olympic in London, it became my goal and wish to go to London 7 yrs later for Olympic as well as to visit London. yeahz!!! will try hard to make my wish come true. hopefully i can do it ah!!! heehee... London 2012, i certainly hope to see u 7yrs later!!!

secondly, it is abt 绝对Superstar. yeahz!!! Hong Junyang & He Weijian performed today. lucky ah... at least i still can watch their performances before i leave. heehee... today both of them look so different. boy-next-door image a bit changed ah... esp for Hong Junyang... he got a bit of his moustache on his face, change his dressing & so tat he look more manly overall. & most of all, he sang my favourite song, "Jie Kou" by Jay Chou!!! heehee... his voice was good (of cos his pronounciation is better than Jay lah... ha...). judges gave him very positive comments and i was so happy for him... his points was the highest for today! heehee... *pray hard tat he will make it thru ah...* (oso pray tat curse of highest score dun get in wun fall on him...)

another one is He Weijian. hmm... he change a bit too. though tat jacket as wat judges said, is over size for him ah... he too skinny lah... haha... but i like his singing so much. always so smoothing for ear... & tink he likes Fan Yi Chen's songs ah... last week sang his song, tis time oso his song.. haha... best sia! *oso pray tat he gets in*

lastly, the sad ting is i CANNOT bring a very very important thing with me over to aust. haiz... is something i cannot leave without ah... & whenever i study, i need it by my side. i will confine to tat ting whenever i am sad ah... haiz... my bro always say shld install a detector in tat ting so tat he can listen to my secrets... haha... for those who noe me ah, u all shld noe who i am referring to. yep! it is my beloved and precious BEE BEE. a rabbit tat had been with me for the past 17 yrs. i will really miss it when i go to aust. it had been my best best fren... haiz... i told other pple i will bring it over but after second tot, better not. cos for stuffed animals, i need declare at the custom & if the custom officers see its color, they sure faint ah. & may even confiscate my BEE BEE. so in order not to risk its life, i decide to leave it at home... is a painful decision ah... maybe u will me childish and strange ah. y get so upset by a stuffed toy? haiz.. tis stuffed toy is very different. it had been with me for so many yrs... is my bday gift & i really treasure it and treat it as my FREN. even when it is so dirty and smelly tat pple ask me throw away, i oso nv bear to cos to me, it is my FREN. how can i throw a FREN away, rite? haha... dun tink i am crazy or wat... i juz treasure my tings alot... anyway, though i can't bring it over, i still have its photos for viewing... heehee... "BEE BEE, i am going to miss u so so much... juz as much as i miss my family & frens..."

*2 more days to the BIG day!

BGR relationship need alot of maintainance, effort & time...

hmm... heard of a sad case of break up again... & tis story of breaking up reminds me of wat happen abt 2 yrs ago. story is the same ah... but in order not to remind anyone of the sad happening, i shall not elaborate the story.

"a relationship only involve 2 pple." usually pple can very "xiao sa" to say tat & y shld they care abt pple's views, as long as they r happy with each other, wat else can be bothering them. however, we cannot deny tat pple's words and views does matter. u can very happily say i dun care how pple look at our relationship & i dun need pple approval or watever. it is between me and my partner, wat does other pple know & y shld they care so much? however, when pple say such comments, do they really mean tat? can they really dun care & tink of pple's views and words? ans is usually they cannot. esp when tings such as break up happen.

in a break up, we often do not know wat is the real reason as we r not the couple involve. for some pple who sort of know the reasons, they may understand. but for some who dunno anything, their comments r the worst man! they can say anything they tink is rite, they can say anything tat they tink is true & they dun understand anything abt the whole issue but juz like give comments. cannot blame pple oso cos tis is human nature of being nosy and full of comments (i would not say tat i am a saint, cos i am such nosy person who like to comment too...) often all these ignorance comments by all these pple r very very hurting & painful. i once had a fren who is so hurt by all these comments tat his close frens said & felt so depressed ah. haiz... & i had seen quite a few cases. usually guys r the one kanna scoldings & criticism when a break up involve. y is tat so? pple usually show pity for gals but how abt the guys? at some situations, both r at fault. or some cases, the guy is innocent. in some cases guys r really the idiot one lah... but no matter wat is the reason, guys still have to be the poor ting one. life is unfair sia... juz becos gals seems the weak one, then guys muz be blame for watever happen. i am not siding the guys (i am a gal lor... i shld fight for gals ah...), juz tat i feel unfair for the guys.

when break up involve, something bound to goes wrong with both side. if not, how come will break up leh. so it is not entirely fault on the guy or the gal. a relationship need both of them to maintain. if it end up in a failure and result in break up, both muz be responsible. no such ting as pin point is the guy's fault or is the gal's fault. even if it is 1 party's fault, then wat is the reason for tis fault leh? was it becos neglience of both parties? was it becos it was a wrong start at the beginning? was it becos there is no communication in both parties or was it becos there is no initative from both sides?

haiz... having relationship is nv an easy job lor... need so much maintainance and time & effort (seems familiar words ah... heehee... copy from my previous few entry abt frenship). if u r willing to give in time & effort, then u can start a relationship. if not, dun start one & then regret or wat. but still love is unpredictable. anyting could happen anytime & anywhere no matter how stable tings go... so i would tink is better to treasure wat u have now & be contented and learn to enjoy it. dun ever regret when u lose it ah...

*3 more days to the BIG day!

i like to be part of organising MAJOR events...

this evening, the Internation Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting will be officially open! yeahz!!! finally ah... after so many months of preparation, everyone had been looking forward to it. everyone is excited abt the result as to who will be the host country for 2012 Olympic Games. will it be Paris 2012, London 2012, Madrid 2012, Moscow 2012 or New York 2012??? we will noe it by tomolo evening. Yeahz!!!

tis few weeks, news & newspapers had been having so many reports abt this whole meeting. & for tis few days, City Hall area r so crowded. crowded with the normal working crowd, the IOC officials & their families as well as our Police force! they can be seen almost everywher near to the Raffles city area. last evening i was at city hall mrt & guess wat. i saw 6 policeman standing at the entrance of the control station. on sat when i was at tat area, i saw a grp of abt 10 over policeman standing guard. wow! the security is so so tight...oso no choice lah, cos tis is considered as a grand event. so many big shots r in town now. for instance, Tony Blair, David Beckham (yeahz!!!) & some impt politicans from the 5 countries. if i am any terrorist (i am saying if i am lah... but i am NOT of cos!!!), i will choose tis place, tis timing ah...

tomolo we will noe who is the host country for the 2012 Olympic Games ah! yeahz! i love watching all these sports event. be it Sea Games, Commonwealth Games, Aisa Games, Olympic Games, i like to watch & get excited by the various races and games. spore may not be a strong country as compared but still is always very fulfilling seeing the sports pple from my own country fighting for the glory and championship. even they lose, the spirit r still remarkable. bravo to them!!! yeahz!!!

it had been since a while since spore last host any major games (spore can only afford to host Sea Games kind of games as we have limited land and resources). in order to host such grand events, i would tink a lot alot of money, effort, pple and resources r needed. esp when it need to accomodate for more than 1000 pple from various countries. it is definitely not going to be easy ah! act i have a small wish. i wish tat i can be involve in the organising of such sports event. small or big, i seriously dun mind. i wanna experience how r tings like during all these events. next yr, commonwealth games will be in Melbourne! yeahz! how i wish i can go down & take a look or even find a part time job there... as ball picker or run errands... heehee... at least i can see how it is like ah...

back in spore, i oso have another wish. it is for my country's bday! yeahz! i wanna be involve in the NDP parade organising. but i noe all along NDP r taken care of by our SAF pple. haiz.. maybe when i come back from Aust, they have new ruling and open up such organising to outsiders.. i certainly look forward ah...

haha... guess all these r in born in me tat i like organise events. & tat is y i wanna go study event management. hopefully i can utilise wat i learn in my future job. yeahz!!!

big THANK U to my dearest family....

today is FAMILY day!!! 1 of the happiest family gathering i had as i met up with almost all my aunties, uncles and cousins. is really really great feeling. such gathering will only happen during special occassions like chinese new yr, weddings or birthdays. the last one we had was during my 21st bday earlier tis yr... now tis time is for.... my farewell lor.... haiz... kinda sad leh... * (emotional again... lian lor, aft reading her blog... tears rolled down... now affect my feeling for my blog entry... haha...)

tis afternoon i met up with my family for my father's side. we had a luxurious lunch @ Yong Chun Yuan. food was nice and there is alot alot... so much until really gota packet them home for dinner... haha... but all the dishes r delicious & so full ah!!! quite worth it ah... took some photos with my uncles, aunties and cousins. well, gota miss them so so much when i am in Aust as they had been the main support to help me endure along the way thru all kind of situations. when my little cousin, Weiqi came up to me to ask:" Weishan Jie Jie, how long will u be away? when will i see u again?" for a moment, i really dunno wat to say... i almost broke down into tears cos i really cannot bear to leave them & i will miss them so much. even before i left, i already feel tat sense of sadness. when she came to offer me half of her favourite fried bun, i really wanna hug her and cry. well, i hold back cos i noe i cannot get emotional @ tis time. i may have so much sadness to feel for, so much tears to drop for the fact i am leaving. i noe i cannot do it as it is not wat they wanna see in me. they wanna see me succeeding in my studies there. obtaining good results is definitely a better gift to them than seeing me cry & cry. how can i disappoint them & myself leh? heehee.. :)

dinner was another round of farewell @ my grandma's house. it was my mother's side of family. & my mother specially cook my fav curry chicken & pig stomach soup for me. everyone was present. they asked me if i am ready to go & how is my packing getting on. they said they will come & send me off next sat @ the airport. i am very touched to hear tat. even if they can't go next sat, i wun get angry either cos i can sense their care & concern for me. turn by turn, they gave me advices and reminders of tings i shld look out when i am there. i really wanna thank them. the same ting i wanna present to them will definitely be a set of good results when i come back. only way i can tink of to repay their kindess, care and concern.

dad, mum & bro din say anything much. well, usually we r a family of little words. our care & concern r usually shown thru actions unknowningly. in our heart, we noe we care for each other. though they din say much, i noe they care & i really feel so sad to leave them. i hate to say tat but i realy cannot bear to leave them... i miss dad, mum & bro so so much....

FAMILY played the most impt role in my life for the past 21 yrs. no matter is my parents, grandfather (who passed away when i was 11yrs old), grandmothers, brother, uncles, aunties or cousins. i wun be able to go thru all the various stages without their presence & support. when i am in aust, i will be alone. something i am so worried as i dunno whether i can survive without them. but i noe they wun wan to see me cry & get upset. they wanna see a happy me coming back with good results which every single one of them will be proud of! i will not disappoint them or myself. is a promise tat i made to them & myself before i go. with tat in heart, i would definitely be able to move on... definitely! :)

last of all, from deep down inside my heart, i wanna say a big big "THANK U" to every single of family & relatives!!!

*5 days more to the BIG day!
