Dear ol' Eng Soon was back the night before. So we met up for 'tea' at Freddo's on Lygon. AWESOME gelato! Yum YUm...







Went off to meet Sue in the evening.

Waited damn long for the tram.

So we did this..


OK, OK..proper one..


After waiting SO LONG for the trams (waited for 2 summor coz had to change trams)..

Tina got us lost. -_-

Tina and directions..

*looks down*

*shakes head*

I thought she was damn confident.

'Yeah, yeah..its here. Sure wan! Come let's get off!'

Hehe..damn funny though! Have so much fun with Tina around..though she gets us lost!







Watched 'The Ring' at Sue's place with Yuna, Sue, Tina, Eddie, Chris and Alex. I actually watched just half the movie. The other half of the time, I was peeking through my fingers or closing my eyes..hehhee..

I seriously can't watch horror movies man!






Went to St. Kilda's beach after. Bought drinks and sat on the pier, admiring the view, freezing in the cold windy night. Brrr..They were telling ghost stories, and that really spooked me out. I kept imagining a hand coming out to grab my ankles from the gap between the hollow steps.


At the pier..





Oh, yea!! I was introduced to the 'spaceship'!! Damn cool!!

OK, it looks like an elevator or something right? Its actually a public toilet!

Its all white inside, and when you step in, the metal door slides behind you, like an elevator. Then it starts playing MUSIC!!! Music while you pee.. or whatever you're doing in there. How cool is that??!!

I was soo excited, I went in and recorded a small video of it on my camera! Then I got panicked for a while coz I didn't know how to make the doors open again. Was like a little girl exploring a new exciting unknown place!!




OK, I felt damn jakun when Tina told me that they have it in KL too. -_-

In KLCC or something.

Spoil my small-girl, excited mood only.

Oh, and Tina was eating fish-fingers while looking at this..

And she was amused..

Not a very flattering photo of me. But I thought it was funny! Hope I don't look at this post again in a few days and feel so embarassed about it!





Hahaa..after Tina looked at the pics, she said..

'EHHHH!! NO FAIR!!! Why do I look MORE DRUNK than you??!!!'




Friday, 24 Feb 2006

Went to Amber!! with Tina, Christopher(Tina's bro), Yuna, Chloe, Louise, and VIVIAN!

Was DAMN SOBER!!

After spending half a day in bed trying to recover from my queazy stomach, I decided to go easy on the drinks.

So, I had :

1) Soho
2) Jeigenmeister + Red Bull
3) Tequilla Shot

Was seriously SOooo SOBER!!! Borderline bored.

Sorry TINA!! For ruining your night. I probably could've been running around with you, scouting out for guys, and be your wingwoman! I'd probably have dirty danced more with you and have so much fun just dancing! But I wasn't high enough.. :(..sorry!

OH, VIVIAN and LOUISE are crazy girls who are DAMN FUN to party with! FUN FUN FUN!!

Tina and I DRAGGED ourselves out of bed on this rainy day to go ROCK CLIMBING with Alex, Chris and Vivian.


Alex isnt in any of the pics coz he's the one being the photographer. I would've taken pics of him if I had my camera! Sorry Alex!

ROCK CLIMBING'S FUN!!!!!

I attempted to climb this REALLY tall wall.. and was halfway up.. but I reached the part where I have to hoist myself up, meaning I had to use only my arms to support and lift myself up after I'd already climbed like 3 quart. Not easy.

So I rested..

and tried..

and rested..

and rested..

And suddenly...this small little girl popped up next to me! Where the hell did she come from??



I was dangling there, while she was still so semangat going on. She stopped for a while, and then I realised she wanted to climb my way.

So, I gave up and went down.

Sighz..damn shy..

Small girl can, I cannot..

But Chris says its much easier for small kids to go up coz they're WAAAAYYYY lighter.


BUT STILL!!!

I wanna climb all the way up!!

Will do it when I'm back in June/July!!

Wrapped the night off eating dinner at Pavillion and chilling at Pancake Parlour til about 4.00am.





Would like to blog more..but its my last night here in Melbourne. SO sad. Was seriously thinking of extending my stay, but its probably not very practical. Lots of things to do at uni before sem starts.



My last night here..last dinner here..


Damn sad..


:(

*sob*

*sob sob*

*BWAWAWAWAWAAAAAAAAA*

Found my LOST camera!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Eng Soon found it for me!! wheeeeee... was jumping for joy!! pics saved!! I went without camera for 2 days! but still.. at least I found it!!

I LOVE ENG SOON!!

*muakz*

will put all pics up when I get it back!!

hehhee..cant wait!!!







OH.. and Bloody Hell..


I'm NOT VIVIAN CHEW OK!!!!

NOT!!!

NOT!!!

NOT!!!

Sighz.. wanna holiday peacefully in Melbourne also cannot..

OK, for your information, I'm studying in Sydney and have been here since 3rd Jan.

I dont know what happens in newspapers back in Msia.

I'm an innocent 18 year old girl who read harsh comments on my tagboard before I knew what was happening.

My surname is CHIU not CHEW!! Same pronunciation but NOT THE SAME SPELLING!!..And it makes a difference OK..

I'm proud of my chinese name and have no existing english name!

I'm an avid Kenny Sia reader and I'm happy that his fans are all backing him up in the whole incident, banging me, thinking that I'm Vivian Chew. I'll never dream of 'stealing' photos from his site or anyone else's for that matter!

Ppl who think I'm Vivian Chew apparently have (quote) 'obviously the same intelligence as those who thought that Kenny Sia's name was Guang Liang'..hor Kenny? *wink*

So PLEASE.. me no VIVIAN CHEW!



Thanks Tina, Bren and Anonymous for backing me up! hehe.. really appreciate it..

*HUGZ*






OK, now..will go back to enjoying my stay in Melb!! Dinner..good company..darling Tina..*snuggles*

Virgin GREEK experience!

First, I'd like to say..


HAPPY BELATED BDAY FOO!!!!


Ok, sorry its one day late on my blog, but at least I tagged you on your blog!!..hehe..that counts rite?? Meant to write you a happy bday post after I came back from Velour, but then..

I got piss drunk.

-_-

Meant to make you a video blog (like the one I did for Tina) with tina and es, but erm..alcohol got me..Hehe..Come to think of it, I think it'll be quite hilarious doing a happy bday video in my drunken stupor..Imagine me with the Tina's red bucket going..

'HAPPY BIrtH-*bleurgghhhh*-DAy JUs-*bleurghhhhhhhhhhhhh*-TIN!!!!

*wipes mouth with one hand*

*100-megawatt smile*

*sway..sway..left..right..left..boom!!*'


Was the first time I got so drunk. Woke up and was still lying around in bed for half a day til about 4 something. Stomach felt sooo queazy!





Thanks for taking my pics when my head was buried in the red bucket.
Thanks for listening to me rambling about nonsense I don't even remember.
Thanks for cooking instant noodles for me.
Thanks for making me the one with soup as opposed to my original choice of Indomee as it is oily.

Thanks PEI FEI!!!


Thanks for supporting me to the cab.
Thanks for making sure I was alright.
Thanks for the amusing chat with the cab driver, making my journey back at least bearable.
Thanks for eating chicken fingers and laughing while watching me puke.
Thanks for taking out my jewellery for me when I couldn't.
Thanks for being such a fun person to club with!

Thanks DARLING TINA!!!






Casualties from yesterday

1. Camera - lost (*gasp* the HORROR!!)
2. Sanity - lost
3. Ability to stand up properly in the morning without feeling queazy in the stomach - lost
4. 'Good' impression of me on Pei Fei - lost
5. Virginity in reference to Greek experiences - lost
6. Smooth UN-bumped head - lost





Am just starting to feel really bummed out about my camera!! Took a lot of good photos last night. But all...LOST!!!

Boo-hooo-hooo


So, that explains the lack of photos on this blog entry.

Crossing my fingers, hoping that I find my cam back!!..you guys pray for me too kays?







Had my virgin Greek experience.

With Tina.

Greek food, that is.

At Stalactites. And ppl who haven't tried Greek food, go try it!! Or you'll be missing out yall!

Dinner was absolutely LOVELY!! We ate and drank our hearts away. Wonderful wonderful food. Chatted for AGES!! Good food, good wine, good company, good time.. what more can I ask for?

Wanted to put up the many pics we took at the restaurant..but just realised again that my cam's lost.. :(




Anyone wants to get me a new cam???

*big hopeful eyes*

Quote of the day : 'Krispy Kreme is to Sydney as Famous Amos(..and Mrs. Fields actually..) is to Melbourne'

Dinner


One little dumb dumb sitting on the tree. Then..2 little dumb dumbs sitting on a tree..C-O-O-K-I-N-G.. First comes oil, then comes FIRE!! then comes smoke..and there goes the dinner!







For dessert, we had grapes, oranges, peaches, and plum..all the seeds, skin, husks thrown into a glass. Pei Fei wondered how it'll taste like.

So out came a pack of cards.

Person with the smallest card drinks the cup!
