Good morning..

2009-04-23T12:14:00.003+10:00

There's so many things on my mind right now it's not even funny. To go or not to go. To be 'mature' or not to be.

Sometimes, it somehow feels like the older we get, the more that happiness eludes us. It slips through fingers so much easier, like running water. I laugh this minute, and I cry the next.

Oh when will this be a nice better place to live?? xo

Sinful new object of affection!!!!

Grr.. Not having a camera is such a pain in the arse! Its so hard to document my daily things nowadays, even more so when I love takin pics, esp for memory! sigh.. Anyone wants to donate a camera my way?? Any functional digital camera will do!!

Anyway.. the reason for the rant.. bought these babies, but with the tugging and pulling of the short webcam plus the non-existing flashlight and horrible lightings, these pics don't do them justice..

My new babies

OK, trust me, they look totally hot real life. Go check nine west for the real thing. Snake-skin pattern, with goldish plated shiny slim killer heels. To die for.

Was also looking at some Chanel sunnies, and LV bags+wallet. Gonna check out the Gucci wallets+bags as well. In dire need of some. Sigh.. man, if only these were the reason I drag myself to work. Actually, nah, the reason I drag myself to work worths way more than these.. but still, *heartache*!!!

Got my tailored dresses back today! Will need to go get black and white heels and a little light white cropped cardi.. any suggestions?

Hands on FIRE!!!!

My hands are currently blazing with a constant prickly heat thanks to waking up this morning with a sudden realisation that I wanted to cook today and then proceeded to chop a whole load of chilli to put into my tuna mix for the tuna sandwich.

Yesterday was a busy busy day.

Lunched and shopped with Ingga..Mae came all the way to my place by herself and I picked her up at the bus stop. Had coffee and cheesecake with the both of them before a reading.

It was Chris' 21st at night, but at the same time, my cousin was gonna be at The Bank just down King St...so basically, I was expected to be at two places at night. I went for a quick one at The Bank, hoping to finish off at Chris' party so I can just pop back into my room to pass out.

Said a quick hi and bye to Chris on my way out when his party was just starting, and by the time I got back to the party an hr and a half later, he was not there anymore. Poor guy passed out.

Quickly got myself a few cups of drinks to get myself a little buzzy.I don't know if its the fact that the punch was a lychee+goon+tequilla+etc mix (which tasted really good) or that I havent had drinks in FOREVER, but anyhow, it didn't take much to get me buzzed.

Anyhow, spent the time with Mae and Ingga, 2 fabulously wonderful girlfriends who provide quite the entertainment!!! VERY unfortunate that Mae had to go home. Seriously, Mae, you can come bunk!!! Anyway, will let some pics do the talking.

That was back at the party before we left to see Mae off to the bus stop.

Mae had to get cereal otherwise she'd starve the following day. We did what girls do best when there's a bus stop and ALL the time in the world!!!
Ingga looks SOOO CUTE here!!

Gotta love Mae!!! Look at that smile!! :)

Ingga and I headed back only to find the party dead. So we hung out with a whole bunch of ppl outside the party place. Here are a few of them.

The MU Fan.. The *newly single* Liverpool Fan.. The Non-Football Fan

The Cricket Fan

We decided to leave, and decided to mark it with our last few pics..
Ingga pout.

Shuen pout. Shuen should just leave the pouting to Ingga.

All smiles!!!!

I just came to a sad realization that I can pose so much better when I'm tipsy.

Obsession

A foolproof way to win money at the casino popped into my mind and I had to call everyone up to find a flaw with it.. apart from the fact that it takes hell lot of a time and money to actually make money.. I'm so excited! might see if I can experiment with it and find if it really works.. :P .. but i don't like gambling.. so I might let other ppl try it and see if it works..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MisComm

That was the theme for tonight. First, with a recipient of mine at my shift, Paul, about his one time at a really really good massage place. Secondly, with old friends over dinner.

I'm too tired to go over details.. its more of a note to myself just to remember what happened today.

What a night.

Busy with my work, and then was supposed to meet up with Andrew, Winnie and the lot, but I never got there. Instead, pushed forward the meeting with Sean(21st bday!), Vin, Sina so I didn't have to stay up real late.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blabber blabber

I just got shushed in my lab just now by my demonstrator!

I was about to answer his question coz he wanted someone from 'THIS AREA' *points to my area* to answer it.

But when I opened my mouth he went..
'No, not you.. you've talked too much..'

O_o

I've never got shushed since.. FOREVER! Aren't they supposed to be happy they're actually getting a response? Coz I definitely can't stand the silence when no one bothers to answer during a discussion and I was only trying to guess answers (had no freakin idea what the prac today was about), so he can actually tell us the answers, everyone's happy, and we can all end early.

Thats probably like.. lazy person participation..

At least we had a good chuckle about it

2007-04-25T16:20:00.000+10:00

Night blabber

Just felt like writing for a bit before I go to bed.

Another day gone. Just like that. Could've studied, could've done some homework. And yet again ended up wasting all my time doing nothing, going out, watching tellie.. where's the motivation?

Will be going back to labs and lectures. Which reminds me.. I never knew how comfortable my lecture seats were til I fell asleep in one the other day for a good hour. They're cushioned, and the shape fits just right. Felt quite rude falling asleep right in front of the lecturer. I was sitting right in the front row (I was late), under, or should I say, right in front of the lecturer's nose.. and I fell asleep all through his lecture! I'm having him again tomoro.. hope I keep my head upright and alert!

Wish me luck! I need lots of it!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel like babysitting a cute little adorable good baby for a day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ONE

That one hug when you need it most from someone who never hugs you is so significant.

Then when that hug becomes a routine, it sorta feels like a necessity.

And one day, when that person doesn't give you a hug, that one un-hugged day is again, very significant.

Funny how things work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever Elusive Person

Photo taken last year at Hunter Valley

MR. SIEW CHEE YOONG has been found!!!

I had dinner at Makoto, Chatswood last night after my shift there. Was good to catch up, see a familiar face in unfamiliar territory. Only realised that Chatswood was close to CY's when I was buying the train ticket to get to my shift and saw the stops. The only shame was coz I thought about it so last minute, Amanda couldn't come.

Will probably catch up with the pair again sometime in these two weeks. It only just has to be a last minute call, apparently.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lovely weather

I never thought I'd ever say this but I've been loving it!

The weather's wet, and cold-ish.. absolutely love the temperature right now!!!! Love the idea of staying in my room with my warm lights, warm bed, good ole laptop and a hot cup of either hot choc or tea.. LOVELY!!!!!!!!

I might just curl up with a book. Maybe Sherwood's Human Physiology : From Cells to Systems!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A whole week of 21sts!

A party Friday night for Sean's 21st.
Another one on Saturday for Chris' 21st.
And if I remember right, Zoe's 21st is coming up either this week or next week.

I can't wait for a BIG 21st. Like one with a ball or a costume party or something. Now, THAT would be wicked!!!!

2007-04-24T02:06:00.001+10:00

Happy 21st Birthday, WK!!!!!!

The last time I celebrated your birthday with you..

That was 2 years ago at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng at SS2.

The last time I saw you..

That was 16th July 2005, almost two years ago.

I miss you big guy. I miss you for all the times you've been there. I'm pretty sure I've said this a lot of times, but I really appreciated you being there for me, providing me the emotional and moral support when I was down, and taking on the role of big brother to reprimand me.

When will I see you next!?!???!?!?

*hugz*

Remember me k????

Lots of love,
Shuen

2007-04-23T14:39:00.000+10:00

Its raining.

I'm in my PJ's, sitting on the couch holding a hot cup of tea watching tv with a complete backdrop of the gorgeous view of melancholic rain outside.

The only thing that can top this would be having that certain somebody right here to cuddle up to.

Then I'd wish time would stop.

2007-04-22T20:01:00.000+10:00

Why oh Why

Sometimes you make me angry,
Sometimes you make me upset,
But how can I resist you?
How can I resist that cute voice of yours?

The vulnerability,
that cute small kid voice voice of yours
when you tell me your insecurities
and that you're scared.

You make me go 'Aaaaww..'
You put a smile on my face even when I try my hardest to be pissed.

Why oh why do you have to be this adorable
that I fall prey to your charm?
Or even more, fall so deep in love with you?

2007-04-22T17:21:00.000+10:00

300 in 3D (so many 3's)

Damn.. All this while, I thought that 300 at the IMAX Theatre was 3D. Was damn excited to go, until John and Alex burst my bubble!! And yet again, they had fun laughing their heads off at my expense!!!

-_-

Why can't they have real movies in 3D?
Why do they only have 3D cartoons?
Not that I'm sick of cartoons or anything.. I still think they're awesome, but they should have more 3D variety, right???

Spiderman 3's showing at the IMAX on 3rd May, but why can't they show these movies in 3D?? I don't mind having to watch them a month later! 3D effects would be soooooo coool!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TGIF

So, I was ready, all dressed up and everything to walk to uni in the dark for a Msian Society MFest entertainment volunteer meeting at 7-9pm on Friday. I usually step into the unknown myself. But this time, for some reason, I decided to txt Daphne to see if she was going.

'You mean the meeting NEXT friday??'

*slap on forehead*

Luckily I didn't walk all the way there into a creepy empty building. Uni's pretty scary at night you see. And its quite a distance to Holme Building. Silly me!

Celebrated my first Friday night in by getting chips, juice, and choc over to Ingga's and sat on her bed watching SATC.

Bliss!!!

I'm really excited about volunteering for the entertainment stuff at this year's MFest. Its gonna be my last one, if all goes well at uni, and its my last chance to participate in it. Besides, its apparently gonna be big this year considering how its gonna be the 50th anniversary or something.

They're gonna have dance, fashion show, drama.. and I wanna do all of it!!! :D :D :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel's Party

was at Scruffy Murphy's yesterday.

I almost didn't go. Wasn't in the mood. But a few txt msgs from angels, and after more than 2 hrs contemplating, I finally decided to drag myself to the city.

Boy, am I glad I did!!!!!

I hadn't realised how much I missed dancing and clubbing!!!! It was like, the music just shot through my veins and I was suddenly whoooshhh..RE-ENERGISED!! Went mad with dancing around.. just the workout I needed! :P

After a while, no one really danced, so I went over to Jonathan's apartment, and gave some of em massages. Nothing's more satisfying than sounds of :

(i) 'Ooohhh..hhmmhmm..*mumble mumble*..'
(ii) 'OOoooohhh.. this is sooooooo goood.. you guys have to try this.. OooOOooh... yeaahhhh..'
(iii)Drool coming out from the side of the mouth

when I'm giving a massage!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E.J. and MBS

On the way back from work yesterday, I decided to really enjoy my Saturday evening. I stopped to watch a street performer.. took the time to watch his performance, gave him some coins and chatted for a bit.

Edward Jackson's a really good dancer from Detroit... www.itaps.net .. that's his website.

He did a contemporary tap to MJ and some other dance music. Was awesome! Might check him out again next weekend after my shift at the MindBodySoul expo which's also something I'm really looking forward to!! It's got like, fragrances, oils, massages, tarat card readings, fortune tellers..etc and I get to go for free. Normal entry tic's $25 bucks! And with my exhibitor pass, I get a further discount for things at the expo!! Loving my job more and more each day!

Anywayz.. gotta run for dinner!! STARVING!!!!

2007-04-19T13:17:00.000+10:00

'You almost did a Shuen'

On an impulsive whim to cook dinner, Chris followed me to get eggs at the Village Convenience Store.

Should I get the 6 or 12 pack? I asked.
Just get the 6. You don't know when you're going to cook next.

Alright. Got the 6 and went to pay.
While waiting to sign the slip, I decided to make small talk with the cashier guy.

So, how much are the 12 pack of eggs?
Let me scan it for you. Oh, its $4.50.
Oh, ok. And how much was the 6 pack one again?
$4.80.

For a second, I thought I heard wrong. I thought he got it wrong. Turns out the 6 pack one was free range eggs or whatever.

I quickly changed my pack and we all had a good laugh about it. Then Chris said...

Wow, you almost did a Shuen back there!Lucky you checked!

-_-'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unbelievable!

Yesterday I woke up to the most unbelievable story ever.

It involves
- 2 beers
- an alley
- a drain
- the most relaxing thing in the world

And that's all I'm going to say. Was laughing my head off!!! Hahaha.. Gotta love you!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Season

I have no idea why, but of late, I've been such a klutz! My hand still hurts.. constantly.. big time! *boo hoo*

Yesterday was a fun shift at the David Lawrence VIP event.

Enjoyed the mini-fashion show, the new season range, the live jazz band, the delicious finger food, the champagne.

Everyone loved me.. well, actually, they loved me for my massage.. and I enjoyed commenting and giving ideas of how to wear certain pieces of clothings when some were indecisive - played the mini-stylist last night! :P Super fun!

Just got back from my senses/analgesia quiz. I've discovered one mistake.. already! There goes my perfect score! *sigh*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Super girlie talk alert*

Ever since I put on a gazillion kilos from my summer hols back in Msia, I've been trying to lose weight. I haven't really done anything much coz just from the higher level of physical activity plus the stress here in Sydney sorta helped a little.

I'm just 5 kgs (I think) away from my goal weight.

So there I was the other night, sitting down, eating dinner in front of the TV watching The Biggest Loser.

And get this.

On average, they lose about 4kgs a week!

I've been back here in Sydney for over a month and I think I've lost only like 2kgs (I think! I havent weighed myself in about 4 months.. I just use the fit of my jeans as a measure.)

Suddenly, I was pondering over the fact that I can potentially get to my dream weight in a week instead of another 2 months!
.
.
.
.
...Nah.. not gonna happen. Love my food too much!

Btw, does anyone know how to lose weight without losing boobs? Apart from plastic surgery?

2007-04-18T11:05:00.000+10:00

OUCH!!

On the way back from uni just now, I stepped on some rollies and fell right on my bum in front of quite a few people. That should teach me not to txt while walking..

if not for the super hot cute guy who came up to me and asked me if I was alrite.. and with such concern too! :P

Can anyone be anymore optimistic about a painful, embarassing fall.. I don't know..

Alrite! off to work!!

2007-04-15T17:04:00.000+10:00

Shadow.

Sometimes I feel hidden in her shadow,
A shadow looming so mightily tall,
A shadow empowering all of me.

I cower in the deepest darkest corner of her shadow,
The shadow that appears every now and then.
She stands up there,
at the very top of the seemingly tall flight of steps,
looking down at me,
Me, stumbling and falling to reach where she is.

Sometimes her shadow fades and I feel strong,
so I take a few steps,
But it suddenly falls back on me,
Darker and bigger than before,
And I lose all my strength.

She's with someone else permanently,
But that does not stop her shadow from chasing me.
It does not stop her shadow from clouding my thoughts,
Polluting them til I fall on my knees again,
when I feel weak and insignificant, no matter what he claims.

There's not only one 'she',
There are a few.
A few shadows chasing me,
overpowering me.

Her shadow, their shadows - my kryptonite.

SSC Alumni

I can't believe KID CHAN was from SSC.

KID CHAN!

http://www.kidchan.com

He's a well-known wedding photographer, and I've read about him in several articles before, the most recent being the one on Kennysia - http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/03/kid_chan_take_p.php

I got over my 'Elaine-Daly-studied-at-SSC' shock back then, and now, I've found another personality to be proud of. Well, for those who're not aware of it, Elaine Daly was Miss Malaysia/Universe 2003.

One day, my name will be up there with them.

Photography - taken
Beauty pageant - taken

I'll totter off to find my own little niche to be famous in now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Movie

Finally watched The Holiday.

Wonderful movie in my opinion.

It was treading a little too much on familiar territory for my liking tho - Jude Law's character, sad goodbyes, long distance relationship, learning to fall out of love/giving up and moving on..

Very close to my heart, that one.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it. It's gonna be one of the more significant movies on my list. What more, its got British actors in it. Love British movies. Love their accent. Love it!

2007-04-08T17:48:00.000+10:00

So proud of myself!

I just cooked the best steak ever!

Well, actually, made the best gravy from scratch ever!

Just experimented and put in a little bit of this and that and voila.. suddenly I had something which was bursting with flavour!

I doubt I can produce the exact same thing again, but I could definitely try!

Wheeee.. happy me!!! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diary

Yesterday was a mixed day.

Tried cancelling my shift coz I wasn't feeling too good, but got told off by the guardian on duty.

So I went for my shift feeling faint. Decided to sit out most of the night, and just supervise.

Just on the night that I wasn't making any effort at all, ppl started coming up for massages and I ended up making the most I've ever made in angelling.

Gave longer massages to ppl, coz I was in no hurry to look for others. Ended up chatting with some very entertaining ppl.

When I was calling it a night,wrapping up everything 10mins b4 shift was up, I got approached by a guy who just wanted to chat but ended up giving me $50 for a massage. It was a very deep+insightful chat we had, he was the sort of peaceful+spiritual guy, charming and charismatic. He had a a lot of respect for me and didn't try to pick me up in any way. Hardly ever find that on the job.

Was a pleasure meeting you and your family, Tony.

Then came the ride home, and the taxi driver just killed the night.
The seedy, mousy, pervert of a cab driver.
I hate him.

2007-04-07T01:35:00.000+10:00

Great food.
Fantastic company/entertainment.
Last min cancellation of shift.

Never had a more wonderful lunch.

LOVING IT!!! :)

2007-04-04T00:13:00.000+10:00

Halo Hands

The angels just introduced a new product - the Halo Hand Massage.

First, the regular neck+shoulders halo massage.
Now the hands.

The perks you get for being my friend.. and especially, the boyfriend.

2007-04-01T12:47:00.000+10:00

Hilary Duff

Love her make-up.

Isn't she just gorgeous?I've never seen a single 'bad make-up' pic of her b4, and she apparently does them herself. Skills.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposals

After angelling, I've started to get SOOO many proposals n pick-ups on the job that I've just lost count! I reckon it'd be a good job to pick-up guys, seriously.

I've got my heart set on ONE person already...

so.. no appeal whatsoever there for me. I'm just really glad I can tell 'em that company policy disallows me to give anyone my number.

And I realised that the other part of this job which is fun is the freedom to put on any persona I want. Its like, acting or role-play.

I could pretend that I was the host of the place, and are making rounds to check if everyone's alrite or if they need a massage..

I could be the energetic bubble girl.. or the smouldering sexy vamp..

You get the picture. It's fun! :)

Got a couple of ppl who're actually football (soccer) fans, and I totally impressed them with my shallow football knowledge. *pat on back*

The first guy was this old regal-looking British dude who looked so 'hard' with a tight expression on his face, frown and all. Once I started working my magic hands, coupled with football talk (turns out he's a very passionate football fan.. duh.. Bri'ish!), he totally softened, and actually smiled (MIRACLE!!) a lot more!

The other guy yesterday was a younger looking manager from Sony. He asked to extend his massage and paid me even more after I had the whole football chat thing.

Now, I just have to read up more on footie,rugby and cricket.

PCD

Choosing a new Pussycat!! Can't wait for the first episode tonight!! Wheeeeeeeee....

Happy Belated Bday Mellie!!!!

Hope you had a good one! Wishing you loads of happiness and wonderful things in your life for the year to come!

You've been an amazing friend all these years. There can be never a dull moment with you around, and you're such a friendly and understanding person, I'm not surprised that your life is full of ppl lining up to be your friend.

I can never forget your unique sense of style, always looking a notch better with little details. Always been an artistic person you have.

But more importantly, you've always been there for me, to straighten me out, listen to my problems, lent your shoulder countless times for me to cry on.. I can only wish to do the same for you.

You've been there for me through my uppest ups and my downest downs. You're a wonderful person and I can only wish that you find your happiness wherever you go.

Take care darling.. HUGZ.. Missing you heaps...

2007-03-27T16:35:00.000+10:00

FUKINESE

try saying that out loud.

Do you get it???

Or am I the only one???

2007-03-26T16:52:00.000+10:00

Woke up at 7.30 to a churning stomach. Felt like vomiting. Gathered whatever energy I had left to rush to the toilet+brush up so that I could go downstairs to grab something to eat.

Ate, napped.. felt better.

Spent the entire day doing assignment + pre-work for another assignment.

Freak? I know.

Took some time off to call Tina to see what she was up to. Missing you, Tina!

Was hoping that the new South Indian restaurant down the street had banana leaf rice. Tough luck.

Yesterday, Ingga + I came up for a still growing list of things to do during Easter break.

1. Pancakes on the Rocks (since Ingga's never been there)
2. Home-cooked dinner with friends over.

Ingga's going to make some pasta, and me, some starters+dessert.

Starters Options :
1. Crackers & Cheese
2. Salad
3 Garlic Bread

I dont know which would be good. Any opinions?

I'm going to try and bake a cake for dessert. Either my cheesecake or choc cake. Which one? Ingga wants to play with icing.. maybe a choc mud would be good! :) Oooh.. imagine that hot straight from the oven, topped with vanilla ice cream! *droolz*

I'm actually looking forward to Easter already!

2007-03-25T02:28:00.000+10:00

Wishful thinking..

It rained in the evening.

All I wished I could do was cook a nice meal in our cosy contemparary apartment, relax, watch TV and wait for you to get back from work.

Talk about domesticating.

2007-03-24T12:37:00.000+11:00

...Watching sappy love scenes make me miss you so much...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Job Rant

It happened again. Got up at freakin 11 when I slept at 5.30. I guess I might as well say, 'Welcome to a brand new stage of your life, Shuen!'

Shift last night was shitty but good.
Shitty in the monetary sense, good in the socialising sense.

There was this guy who was celebrating his bday. Paid for his friend to get a massage, and when I went back a couple of hrs later, he clearly had drunk quite a bit. But he was a really nice guy. He was defending me, telling his ass of a friend off. Very sweet-spoken guy. With mightily huge biceps, I might add.

Another interesting guy - Sales Exec at Telstra.
Who's freaking younger than me!
Granted, by a few months, but STILL!
He's worth quite a bit, and he must've really liked the massage - $50 just like that. Not that I'm complaining. He was young, and he's got a healthy pride in what he does.

I just didn't like his friend for the fact that he expected me to sucker up to Telstra guy once I was told what he's worth. Jerk.

I have a healthy pride for myself, and I think that everyone should be treated equally, rich or poor. Money's not everything for me. And ppl who think that they get preferential treatment from me for being rich couldn't be anymore wrong.

Speaking of interesting ppl on the job..

I met this rugby player from NZ last weekend. Most OZ's are big on 'footy' and rugby and watever else they call those games with the oval shaped ball, but not me. I have no idea who plays, what the teams are, what the rules are.. etc. So here I was chatting up and having a good time with this friendly guy. And yesterday, I saw him on TV - the face of NZ tourism.

That's the thing about me and this job. Its a major celebrity sighting job, apparently. But the fact is, how am I supposed to get all excited when I don't even know they're celebrities??

Like, another example.

At a corporate job last Mon, Carmi started massaging this huge guy, and there was a sudden big hype about that.

I was like.. what the hell's happening?

Everyone just stared at me.

'OMG! You don't know him? He's the Aussie homeland guy on TV.'

Err... OK.. watever you guys say man.

2007-03-23T10:34:00.000+11:00

*Edit*

It really seems like I'm getting stuck all day.

Booked the meeting room at SUV to study. They have a huge table in each meeting room, which makes good base for strewn notes and books.

Was suddenly so inspired to study after my lecture at 2. I think it might've been coz of the straightforward-ness of the lecture and the speed at which the lecturer talks which is sorta energetic and fast. Goes to show I feed off other ppl's energy(??).

ANYWAYZZZZZ.. back to my story. Right. So, I booked the room from 4.30 til 7.00.

I skippety-skipped there all packed and ready with plenty of heavy books, files, and most importantly, stationery in my bag..only to find Meeting Room 4 locked.

LOCKED!

Went down to the reception.
'The office closes at 4pm today. You'll have to wait til the Resident Advisor on duty arrives at 5pm. But that's if you're lucky.Sometimes they only get here at 5.30pm.'

-_-

So there I was, bag slung across my shoulder, big note book clutched in one hand, water bottle in another, all hopes crushed.

Could feel my inspiration to study slipping away. Mind you, this inspiration feeling thingie doesn't come around often at all.

OOh!!Just got news the RA's here! At least there's still SOME feeling of inspiration left b4 it totally disappeared! Ta-rah!!!

Stuck!

I'm getting so good at waking up early nowadays. I think my body's subconsciously got used to the energy levels associated with different times of the morning.

*omygosh! dim sum girl's playing on shuffle on my nano! First time i'm actually listening to it!*

Like today, my lab's at 9, and I set my alarm for 8. But it didn't go off. I found myself getting up at about 9 when I thought something was amiss. And I think it was coz the roads were getting busier.

I never would've thought I'd be able to get up so early without the alarm. If this was years ago, I'd have slept through til 12. Maybe its a sign of growing old. Like, you know how some mature ppl have problems sleeping?

Anywayzz... due to my getting up late and rush, I forgot my labcoat and had to sit out of the anatomy prac from 9-11. So here I am, stuck at the library, waiting for histology to start at 11.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY NOTE OF THE DAY!!!

- My thighs are shrinking! -

My jeans felt a little looser around those areas this morning! It got sooooo tight when I was back in Msia. Good to know that they've gone back to the size they were b4 I went back home.

Now, only gonna hafta work on shrinking them for the skinny jeans I got from Melbourne last July. Hopefully will update with some good news soon! :D

You know there's too many ppl around you getting pregnant when you start thinking..

'Hey, this empire waist dress is GORGEOUSSS!! and if I keep it for many years down the road, it'll look great when I'm pregnant too!'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6pm Quickie

I feel like the news with that title.

Anywayz.

Randomness of the day :

1. Played with a dick without realising what it was until after 3 mins.

2. Got told my dress was gorgeous, and subsequently got asked where I got it from. Shocked faces surfaced when I answered, "Supre".

3. Worked in the above mentioned dress to vacuum my room and the SUPER DIRTY common areas in my apartment, and then threw out the trash. Talk about doing housework in style, babeh! ;)

Anywayz.. heading off to Tamana's with ppl.. good dinner ahead!

2007-03-21T17:26:00.000+11:00

Hmmmm...

Was just watching this police show where this dog was the hero.
He was trained to bite on bad guys' forearms and never let go.
On this special case, he performed brilliantly..
and was given a medal of honour.

I wonder if the medal would mean anything to that courageous dog, or whether it even understands the significance of it. What's the point of rewarding a living being with something of no significance to them? Yeah? Thnk about it..

And on ANOTHER totally different note.

Emotionally cheating on someone is just as bad as the physical part.

Pretty random, but yea...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PICTURES!!!!!!

Loves it!

Colours excite me.
They liven me up from a dull dreary state.
They feed me energy.

Somehow couldn't find a pic of Krys+YY on our CNY celebration. Sorry yea!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's your problem??

The weather's playing up on me.

Super hot during when I head out, and raining when I'm on the way home.

My umbrella's been a trusted friend these days!

Gonna get my first pay! After a $50 deduction for t-shirt deposit, I get a total of $118.80 for 9 hrs' worth of work. Would've been $168.80 if it werent for the shirt. But oh well. I'm not complaining! I'm so proud to finally be earning my own money! And while having fun on the job too!

Go SHUEN! You rock, girl!! :)

OK, so, maybe self praise is no praise. But who gives a damn, really?

I feel like playing with some pics..

Will be back! With some pics! (hopefully!)

2007-03-19T21:48:00.000+11:00

Saturday!!!!!!!!

AWESOME day!!!

Went by Chinatown for Yum Cha with the lovely, bubbly, ever-so-fun-Mae.. ended up chatting for hours and hours.. can't remember the last time I had so much pure fun girly time chatting about everything girls can chat about..

Really missed you Mae! We should do it like, once a week each week! :D

Then I went for some girly dinner with May+Tamara.. fellow Angels.. :) .. that was fun!!

I've never met a boring Angel so far, and that's FAN-TASTIC!!! They got me 'ready' for my shift at Darling Harbour..

Which happened to be.. uh.. lemme see.. FUN!!!

It was clubbing at its best! I could just chat anyone up, hiding behind the 'Angel' persona. Had a BLAST just chatting to ppl, flirting with 'em guys AND girls, all while enjoying the music!

All this while making money.. man, I couldn't ask for more!

Was beat when I slept at 5 that morning though..

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pussycat Fever!

Have always wanted to watch their concert 'Live from London'. Asked my bro to download it, but it took too long, and I was on the plane b4 it finished downloading.

Went looking for it everywhere. Finally found one last copy of this shop in Market City on Sat. Phew.

And the guy was so nice and chatty, I got suckered into buying the PCD Calender as well. Wasn't too bad. Was just $5, a huge slash from the original $25.

Never got the chance to relax and watch it though. Been too busy with work over the weekends.

Finally got the chance to rest properly after my job this afternoon. Watched it after a nap, with my self-declared few hours of girly relaxing ME time! :)

I'm more in love with the PCD now than ever b4!

Sexy, hot, confident, energetic, independent - everything I can only dream of being.

From now on, they're going to be my inspiration for day to day living. How so? I have no idea just yet. Ask me in a week.

2007-03-17T01:16:00.001+11:00

2007-03-15T21:53:00.000+11:00

Something in my water!!!

I think something's gotten into me.

The past few weeks comprised of..

-Cleaning
-Washing
-Tidying
-Arranging
-Organizing

And if that isn't bad enough, I havent been doing anything else but that AND going for classes. Adding to them.. So, its actually..

-Cleaning
-Washing
-Tidying
-Arranging
-Organizing
-Labs
-Reports
-Lectures

After a few days, I thought I'd get a job.. and esp after I chatted to May on the Sat BBQ about http://www.3minuteangels.com.au. So then, it became..

-Job
-Job
-Job

And today.. I'm actually missing the International Dance Party just to go to the Medical Library to finish off a lab work.

But Paul came over to get his remaining stuff from my room and he left an hr b4 the library was gonna close so.. change of plans!!

Thought I'd have the rest of the day to rest and relax, something I havent done in quite a while..

So I put on a DVD, something light and chic-flicky - 'Lovewrecked' (its a horrible movie, btw!). But after a while of sitting down watching it, I felt restless+unproductive, started gravitating towards my LAB NOTES...

And ended up finishing a whole laod of EXCEL LAB REPORT, which includes..

-entering a whole load of spectrophotometry results,
-a whole load of calculations
-4 graphs based on the load of data+calculations.

Can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with me?!?!?!?!?!?!

2007-03-10T21:41:00.000+11:00

Ooh.. just came back from a floor party.. crazy americans.. was SO fun though! :D :D :D

Anywayz...

Just realised my DVD spells 'LovewrIcked' instead of 'LovewrEcked'!

Hmm..pretty random, I know..That's what happens when you've skulled one too many Carlton Draughts. There was this super hot chic! Asian.. surprisingly didn't find any hot white chics at a party that's like 95% caucasian. The thing about me drinking is I tend to call ppl to talk. Just dialling and dialling. Caught up with Mae a little. She sounded bz.. but I think we're gonna meet up b4 the International Party on Thurs. Oooh, just caught a waft of cold air. Feel some headlights turning on. I miss my darlingz. I miss my sweetheart.

OK, I'm off to brush up!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DOMESTICATED

I got back on Monday, close to noon, and rushed straight to my 1 o'clock class. Once I got home, I did my laundry and started cleaning my room and its contents.

Thoroughly.

Like, wipe-each-book-thoroughly.
Like, wipe-each-pen-thoroughly.
Like, wipe-each-sheet-of-paper-thoroughly.

It was the exam mess. All my notes, pens, books were strewn all over the room and table. Over 3 1/2 months, they *sneeze* naturally attracted lots of *sneeze* dust.

Basically, I spent the past few days cleaning my room, organising my things, obsessing over getting a vacuum which was not available for 2 days in a row!

I utilised lots of boxes lying around, modified them to be made little nice storage/decorative items on my desk. Felt like a genius! :D

Did my groceries, bought stationery. All while going for labs and lectures during the day. Never got a proper rest till yesterday! But strangely enough, doing all the tiring cleaning up+extremely tiring unpacking seemed to fill me with a certain sense of satisfaction at the end of the day. Being busy made me feel super productive!

OOOhhh, gotta see part of my organising act..

LOVES IT!!!!

First party of the week - Yandi's farewell. Pretty ironic considering uni just started! Saw the debut of one of my flower pins.

Today, the SUAMS welcoming party at Coogee. I remembered going for that about the same time last year and got myself a nasty tan line that lasted almost all year! I learnt from my mistakes.

OK, will continue the update in a while.. Chris has asked me to go over to play..

2007-03-02T03:10:00.000+11:00

To highlight or not to highlight...

Super long hair all gone.. now its about shoulder length.. I think it's somewhat like a nicole richie just that my fringe is shorter..

Kept telling my hairstylist to gimme a cut to make me look YOUNGER!! I was tired of ppl telling me i look 20 something when I'm not even 20 yet!

So.. voila!!

Now, the question is.. to highlight or not to highlight?

2007-03-01T14:33:00.000+11:00

WONDERFUL-ness

Good dinner.
Wonderful company.
Sweet parting.

Can't ask for more on this special, special day.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Disappointment of the Day

While out for dinner, Dad called..

'Girl, you want the Nano or the iPod which plays music, videos and everything?'
Not wanting to ask too much I simply replied..
'Anything.. my main priority's to listen to songs while I walk. Whichever's cheaper, get it lah..'
'OK!'

When I got back, my dad proudly showed me the Nano. After about 10 mins of showing me the Nano itself, he reached for the plastic bag to get the accessories. He pulled out a little brochure thingie, and showed me the iPod he was talking about.

I almost screamed.

iPod nano (4 GB) - $ 934
iPod (30GB) - $1099

And he got an iPod nano.

Champion.

Hehe.. but it IS also my fault. I did tell him to get the cheaper one.. hehehe..

Nevertheless, I'm extremely grateful and happy that I got a nano! I'm so excited! Gone are the days of quiet walks to and from uni, or in the city, or on long bus rides.

THANK YOU PAPA!!!!!!!!!

*hugz*

*muakz*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone's not here..

YY's being such a good boy suddenly, staying at home coz of exams.. shockening! :P

Krys msged me and asked me when she can come over, not to see me mind you, but to eat the cheesecake my mom bakes! haha.. and she asked if I felt insulted! ooh, the nerve.. hehe.. but nah, i actually didn't mind it one bit..

Bought all the things I was supposed to bring over. I looked at it and wondered how I was gonna accomplish the feat of staying within the weight limit. Tough Job!

Been looking up the uni casual employment database and found one job on campus. I particularly like those ones coz they pay damn well, always at least more than 20 bucks per hr. This particular one was $ 26++ per hour. The only catch was that they required a resume and cover letter, both of which I dont have.

I sat down and laboriously typed my CV+cover letter. Before I could finish the latter, I had to leave with my mom to go for some talk. Today, when I checked the database again, the notice had been pulled out.

Someone got the job.

A tad disappointed. Should've done everything faster, earlier.

Anywayz.. at least today's gonna be a happy day for me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BDAY VINCENT LOW ENG SOON!!!

:)

First of the 87's to turn 2-0!! Congrats!

The guy who gets red after a couple of drinks.
The guy who decorated Beach Club with a wonderful magical fountain.
The guy who always takes care of others, and makes sure that everyone's having a good time.
The guy who talks a load of crap, and yet is the same guy who discusses politics, economy and current events.

There is no one like Mr. Low.. Have a good year!

*hugz*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAPPY BDAY CHONG!

Same year, same day as Mr. Low.

A sportsman who plays good badminton and pool among other sports. Super close friend of Mr. Lim so much so that he gives Krys a run for her position.. :P

Happy birthday!

ALL SMILES

Penang proved good harvest.

Items purchased :

- Black Bag
- Gym clothes
- 3 pairs of ear-rings
- 2 tops
- 61 DVDs

My bros have their own separate long lists of newbies. Considering the fact that we only wanted to go there to get RM 4 DVDs, we got much more than we bargained for.

:)

The food was super fantastic! Ate sooo much good food!! Just piling on more weight in addition to the additional weight. Not good, not good.

2007-02-02T22:19:00.000+11:00

RM3 DVDs!!! HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna pack and head down to Penang..such a last min impulsive decision!

This week has been full of last min decisions to go everywhere.. :) .. Tina, you're right.. no use planning, last min works best! Like the other night at Poppy! :) .. Had so much fun wid you there!

Sigh, but on the other hand, I was kinda hoping to go wid you guys to Sky Garden tonight.. :( .. oh well.. can't have EVERYTHNG!!

Anywayzz...finally get to meet my aunts after like wat? 3 years? Its been AGES! Kinda miss em!

Anyone wants DVDs, just holler out to me yea?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watched Blood+Chocolate alone at GSC today! :)

Jay's never let me watch any movie alone, no matter how many times I've insisted. Well, today, there wasnt much of a choice. :) I took a cab there..

It was soooo freaking hard to get a cab from my house to 1-Utama! You have NO IDEA!

Finally, a cab arrived! but then realised that I left my purse along with all my money in my bro's car! Was money-less! Told the cab driver I lost my purse and had no money to pay him and then watched wistfully as the red car drove further and further away...

Had to called my bro for some reinforcements! Luckily, he had some cash at home.. Had to go through all the hassle to get a cab again, but finally made it for the movie!

I'd definitely wanna go watch a movie alone again.. well, it wouldnt be something I'd wanna do all the time

Just once in a while.. :) .. its relaxing..

OK, dad's asking us to pack and leave RIGHT NOW! So.. gotta go!

Adios ppl! :)

2007-01-29T13:42:00.000+11:00

Cats should be taught to look left and right b4 they cross the road! Seriously!!!!

Was rushing to pick Wai Hoong up on Saturday and head down to Traders Hotel for Min Jie's proposal. As I was going 120(or more, I wasnt sure) on a busy 4 lane road, a cat decided to dash acroos!

The first animal I've ever hit with a car!!!!

:(

Was sooo sad after that. Sigh.

I hope that cat miraculously bounded off.. we didn't feel a bump so I don't think the tyres got it!! *fingers crossed*

But still, I felt SOO bad!!!

:(

*glum*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a happier note, it was a happy night for Min Jie and Peggy!

He went down on one knee, with the ring, and started singing 'I wanna grow old with you' with my bro playing the guitar. Leslie had the HUGE bouquet of flowers, and Yun Xian was video-ing. Spectators include - Nien Yi, Wai Hoong, Kenny and I.

I thoght the song was super cute! Its the one Adam Sandler sang in 'The Wedding Singer' .

I told my bro that when my bf looks like he's about to propose, he should go tell my bf that I want a fireworks display over a beautiful view. And not just random fireworks, but like those displays with patterns and the works.. like the one over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on New Year's! heheehehehe..

Was my first time at Sky Bar. Its very much like Luna Bar. I think I still much prefer Luna to Sky though Sky does have a much better close-up view of the Twin Towers. Nevertheless, it was a nice place to chill, have a few drinks with friends. Cosy.

2007-01-21T18:10:00.000+11:00

MILO AIS SATU!!!!!!

LIVERPOOL won! Wooohooo!! Well, I really couldnt care less about football if not for the fact that I took on liverpool in a small bet which won me the grand prize of....

*drum roll*

ONE ICED MILO!

Finally, bull lost to cow! Hardly ever happens, but there's always a first! :P Let me just bask in my win for a day!

Hehe.. today, the same bet, with me taking Arsenal.. so I suppose I should be watching the game with Eng Soon somewhere so at least we have some 'kaki's to cheer with! :P

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, after what Tina wrote about me timing my meds so I can have beer at night.. I actually didn't drink!

After my meds, I found out that I really didn't need to! I had a light head on my shoulders.. almost 'float-like'.. Plus, it helps me sleep at night tooooo!!!

Flu meds are the new beer, babeh!!!

Hmmm, wait, does that make me a potential-alcoholic-turned-potential-druggie??

*ponder*

2007-01-18T20:51:00.000+11:00

hey tina..

I've been sitting here for 10 mins and I dont know what to blog. Haha. I guess it'll take a while after such a long hiatus. Er... well, I guess jus wanna say.. I feel like some beer now.. :P

Haha.. my dad just came into the room shouting HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO with a huge smile on his face. I guess that's a good sign that he's happy to see me! :P .. He just bumped his head.. AGAIN! Such a boy! hehe..

Will go sit and have a chat with him over food after his shower.

Love it when my parents are happy!

Ooooh, had a good lunch at Ms. Read today! Brings back memories of Taylor-ian times, when we'd go there and have our CHOCOLATE BROWNIE!!! MMMmmmm..

Well, today, had the pleasure of dining with someone as delicious! And had such a long chat with her and Nizam about so many things, from cockroaches, to our ideal body figure, to lives as tai-tais, to mutual friends.. Was a really pleasant afternoon!

Had hoped to go out tonight to Maison, but due to the productiveness of others, as Tina put it, we're left with no one to party wid!

OK, daddy's out of the shower.. Gotta go!!

*skippety skipettyyy skip*

Clutter

My brain starts whirring once I get up in the morning, and it never stops until I watch TV or sleep.

How I wish everything would go away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CUTENESS!!!

I tried to exercise yesterday, but after 10 short minutes, hero me convinced myself that sitting down going through baby + childhood pics for about an hr would probably be equivalent to about 10 more mins of running.

The thing about me was that I looked cute for about 3 years, and then I started looking weird. Some pics really brought out the giggles!

Saw through my years of super short hair. My huge round glasses. My chubbiness. My holidays.
Most ppl I know have mostly the same features through all the years. But most definitely not ME!

Was good fun bringing out all the old pics. Going to embark on a photo album project real soon!!!! Hopefully!

2006-12-27T04:03:00.000+11:00

Durians Galore!!!!!!

Thanks to the wonderful Chee Yoong!!

Love you LOOOOONG time!!

Still can't believe how they could've put that on Fear Factor! I'd've been a very very happy contestant!

Yum Yum!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I SPY......

Someone who's been keeping in touch, on-off(??) with my ramblings here..
Someone who's going to be part of the Melbourne family..
Someone who's spent almost half of his life in UK, and the other half, seeing me every week!! (oh, the horror!!)
Someone who's a week older than me!

Guess WHO??

Dum-dee-dum

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its irritating me, writing everything without any colours, or different font sizes!
It looks so plain! So.. boring!

URghhh..

Need some COLOR!!
Need some GRAPHIC STIMULATION!!!
Need some non-MAC comp!!

*this post has obviously been edited using my non-MAC laptop!!*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just re-read some previous posts..

And suddenly realised that they might not have been the best materials to be read by SOME ppl..

Some ppl, like, gee, i dont know.. but I think his name starts with an 'A'.. haha

All of a sudden feeling so self conscious of what I've written b4..

Read some lines, and laughed my arse off.. wondering how I came up wid such lame lines!
Read some more, and was appalled at how I could've made such horrible grammatical mistakes!

Oh well..

2006-12-25T03:36:00.000+11:00

Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.

It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

- 1 Corinthians 13 : 4,5 -

You've just read it.. but really, did you?

HAPPY BDAY ASHISH!!!!

Hope you had a wonderful bday! You've been around for Jay and I since the beginning, and have been a wonderful friend. Was always a blast hanging out wid ya!

*hugz*

HAPPY BELATED BDAY, CHRIS & CK!!! - 18th December

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to collect my iPod nano that I won on my last day in Aus.

Drove all the way to LCCT,
waited in line,
collected my parcel,
paid extra for duty stamp,
drove all the way back..

just to find that its a fuckin' FAKE IPOD!!!!

ARRGHHHHh!!!!!!!!

STUPIDDDDD.....

Super angry now..

If I wanted a fake ipod, I could get much cheaper ones here in MSIA!!!

Feel so bloody cheated!

CONNERISM i tell you!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Out of the blue, I got an unknown number sms-in me, asking for my e-mail add.
I politely replied for an identity.
Andrew Wong is his name, he said.

I cracked my head wondering which of the few Andrew's it was.
He called, and I realised then that I didn't recognise his voice.

I asked him how he knew me.
'That's why I asked for your e-mail add. Its a long story. I wanted to write to you there to explain everything,' said he.
He was elusive about how he got my number and how he knew my name.
I got a little scared.
I said I was busy.
And he asked me if I was out near Bandar Utama.

That totally freaked me out.

This guy has my name, my number and possibly my house address.

Who the fuck is he?

After a while, I found out that he got my details from Pos Msia.

Must've been from the forms I had to fill when I went there to collect my stupid FAKE IPOD NANO!

I've stopped entertaining him since I've found my answers.

A little shaken, but I'm alrite now. Will probably just be even more scared when I come home alone in the middle of the night when the street's dark.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bull played futsal for 3 and a half hrs straight. And now, he's got chest and his legs are aching. GEE, I wonder why!!!

Go take a good rest k??? I'll see you real soon and give you a hug n kiss to make it all better!!!

MUAKZ!!!!

2006-12-13T04:29:00.000+11:00

Been a wonderful week for me.. my wonderwall has stood through the week and is still my wonderwall.. as well as a BULL!! Right?? :P

Coz only bulls produce.. Bull-S***!!!

hahaha.. OK, damn lame.. but that's why you love me right?? RIGHT????

Well, to be fair.. You're a stupid bull with bullshit and I'm a stupid cow.. which is so much more useful than a bull coz at least cows produce milk! hehhehe..

But you're still my wonderwall and its only been getting more and more wonderful! More and more fortified.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wedding dinners are almost a weekly thing now. I ran out of formal-ish dinner clothes to wear coz I never expected to have so many wedding dinners to attend! Its like a sudden wedding boom! Think the baby boom's already started..

I want my room back! I've been sleeping with my parents since I've been back from Aus coz my youngest bro has invaded and resided in my ex-room.

I miss having my own space to do my own things. Miss being able to stay up til as late as I want doing whatever I want. Now, I can't even read b4 I go to bed! My parents sleep wid their lights off, usually hours b4 I go to bed.

I miss having my own room!! Man, our maid has her own spacious room and I don't even have a private area to myself.

Btw, TINA'S BACK!!!! SO excited!! YAY!!!!!!!

Now, just another stray sheep left to come back.. actually, 2, but the other one's definitely not coming back so will just be waiting for that one who's coming back Mon night!

OK, my bro came out of the shower.. time for me to barge in and scrub myself clean! wheeeeeeeee

2006-12-06T16:51:00.000+11:00

ES came back earlier than expected. Still the same 'sohai' as YY likes to call him.. :P It felt good knowing that everyone's slowly coming back to msia from wherever in the world they are. Happy happy, joy joy!

Dinner at Palace of the Golden Horses yesterday was FANTASTIC!

Food was A++. Absolutely LOVED it! Now, if only I could get Zander to try them, and reproduce them back in Sydney. :P hehe..

There was a performance by a Russian duo which I was pretty impressed with. She changed her outfit on stage within seconds! You see her, then you dont, then you see her again with a totally different outfit! And there are no signs of new or old outfits anywhere! In their last act, the guy opened a huge umbrella above her, and it showered glitter on her. By the time the glitter settled, she'd changed her outfit yet again! AMAZING!!!

Performancee by Siti Nurhaliza was up in the itiniary too!

Oh, TINA!! I SAW YOUR MOM!! she was wearing a white suit thingie. I would've gone to say hi but she looked really busy and I didn't know if she would recognise me. Hehe.. when I told Krys, she was like, GO TALK TO HER and GET THE JUSTIN TIX!! haha..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've always said I don't really know how to put make-up on. I do try sometimes, and its a touch and go thing. Sometimes, it looks alrite, but usually, its horrendous! Last night's was the latter.

As I took my makeup off, I suddenly realised that my make up skills were so horrible, I looked even better without makeup! Whoever said that makeup enhances your looks, makes you prettier and etc musn't have met me! All the talk about the powers and magical wonders of makeup etc etc.. BULLSHIT! Well.. at least in MY case.. hehe.. I guess that's a case for everyone who doesn't know how to apply makeup the right way.

Oh well..

Damn! I missed Lunch with Krys and CY. Should've got up earlier! Oh well, Krys finishes at 4. Maybe I'll be able to meet them later... happy happy, joy joy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes when you think a person has reached his/her peak, you're proven wrong. Things improve by leaps and bounds.

Thank you dear.

You've been amazingly amazing, esp the past 2 days.

You tried hard. You hit the mark. From now, I hope that things will only get better!

*hugz*

You're my wonderwall.

Friends

Who are they?

They come in many forms, shapes and sizes. Someone once told me..

'You are who you think your friends think you are.'

It was twisted in its own weird way, but I think that it made a lil sense. I guess in that sense, surrounding yourself with positive happy friends is something essential.

But who are they?

I have friends, yes. Very close friends, yes. Yet, there are some things that make me wonder if some of my friends feel the same way towards me. Maybe I'm not a good friend. Maybe that's why I don't deserve their best of friendships.

But who am I without friends?

This post may be offensive to my friends. I think the only thing I can say is, don't come to conclusons about who I'm talking about in this post. If you're reading this, it most probably isn't you.

Sigh, I think coming back to Msia has been so depressing, its making me warp myself into weird thoughts and ideas. Its the Shuen in Msia syndrome.

I cant wait for everyone to really come back. Hopefully by then, this blues will go away.

2006-11-24T05:54:00.000+11:00

SURPRISED

Sigh, what a day.. thank you all, dears, for making everything possible. Glad I met everyone, and thank you for taking your time to come see me. Had a great time!

*sob* sigh *sob*

2006-11-23T06:06:00.001+11:00

(using bro's Mac.. dont know where to find the features for different fonts and colours.. :( so bear with the following monotonous words.. trust me, my feelings are very much misrepresented! )

Thanks dears!!!

Was happily playing games wid Jian and Min Jie in Settlers when Krys and YY surprised me wid a choc cake+candle, accompanied by a 'happy bday' song!

Was really sweet, you two!! Thank you sooo much! :D

Hehe, btw, I guess we found our new 'hangout' for this summer break..

SETTLERS!!

Hehe.. when everyone called me up at 12, wishing me happy bday, I kept telling everyone I was playing games. It might sound like a funny thing, playing games, but that place near Atria is pretty cool.

RM 2.50 per person per hr. And they have LOTS of different games for you to play.

Trust me, as un-appealing as it may sound, its a LOT of fun! You might be surprised!

Oh yea..

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who called me and sms me to wish me!!!

Sorry I was being a slightly ungrateful bugger, getting distracted by my game!

SORREEEEEEEE!!!!

Thank you all you guys again!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

2006-11-22T02:25:00.000+11:00

Home Sweet Home!!!

Back for bout 3 days now!
Was bz da whole of Sunday wid da wedding, church in the morning and Shangri-La at night.
Was bz whole of yesterday meeting up wid Jaysel, Krys and YY.

Krys reckoned my face looks bloated. :( . Never a good sign.

The food here is, as usual, amazing. The company, warm and so 'at home'. I love having my family and good food around.

Miss my internet though. I was 'stealing' wireless connection the last time I was back, but now my neighbour's moved out, so I don't have the luxury of operating from my laptop. I've got one brother on the comp 24/7 playing his computer games, and I have no idea how to operate my bro's Mac, so I've been left stranded without a comp.

At least I've sorta got a car to drive around in. Currently sharing my bro's Gen2. So at least that's good in a way! :)

But I have to say that though I've been back for only a few days, I'm already starting to feel suffocated wat with the tremendous cutdown in freedom and sudden increase in obligations + responsibilities. I spent the whole day running around doing some 'official' things. Holidays are never really holidays for me.

I guess I can never have everything at once.

In Australia, I lack certain luxuries(like getting hair treatments, facials, mani+pedicures), good food and certain friends.

In Malaysia, I lack freedom (and hence, partying+drinkin) and gain a huge amount of responsibilities + obligations (like, family stuff)(and church 3-5 times a week!) and certain friends.

Sigh. I wonder if I'm really gonna be looking forward to another 3 months here.

Just hoping for the best.

*fingers crossed*

2006-11-18T03:29:00.000+11:00

Last time

Last time I'll be blogging from this seat, this table, this atmosphere for 3 and a half months.

Last time seeing my wonderful light, comfortable bed, messy wardrobe and decorated noticeboard for 3 and a half months.

Last time I'll be able to have complete freedom in 3 and a half months.

Just finished packing like 90% of my stuff. Gonna go online for the last time today and tomoro b4 putting everything into my bag. I'm so proud I could keep to the 20kg limit. Its plus plusss but I guess its acceptable. My room's in such a mess! I guess thats what happens when you're packing.

I'm going to miss Sydney. I'm going to miss Australia. I can't wait to go back, but at the same time, 3 months seem like a very very long time.

Anywayz.. I still cant wait to go back!

Friends in Malaysia.. CALL ME!!!

Phone No : 017-2687370 ..I think

And Smalls, really sorry about missing you on your trip here to Sydney.. but CALL ME when you're back k? ;)

Mellie, don't stress over exams. It'll be over b4 you know it. Then you'll get to see me and I'll be a nuisance your life yet again..MUAHAHAHAHAaaaa

WK, I havent talked to you in AGES!!! So it'd be nice to hear from you once in a while OK!

Krys and YY.. I'm warning you I'll be back on the 18th November 2006. Go on, get a pen and pencil and take not of it. Coz, if possible, please tune to PG-13 stuff only OK?? I still small kid, you see. Don't want to see anything my mommy says I shouldnt. :P

2006-11-14T12:18:00.000+11:00

1 more day..and my exam'll be over
4 more days..and I'll be home sweet home

Finished all my Medical Science exams. Now waiting for my stupid Physics exam to come so I can get it over with.

Was gonna cut all my notes into half to use as scrap paper, but just before the blades came down on them, I stopped to think.. Maybe I should keep them.. you know, just in case I fail..

And so, my notes are still lying all over the place.

2006-11-13T18:35:00.000+11:00

Withdrawals

My butt cant sit still.
My legs cant stop moving.
My hand cant stop shivering.
My mind cant stop wondering.
Esp about that wonderful dark brown bag I saw the other day at Stellino's.
And that white bag at GPC.

This is what happens when I haven't gone shopping in over a month!

2 more papers babey!
2 more papers and I'm free!

Counting down to the day I can go shopping.

Things to buy :
1)Red heels
2)White + Red bag
3)Shirt dress
4)Hinder CD for my bro
5)Belts
6)Accessories
7)MNG butterfly tank top

Man, these are the things I already have my eye on. Dare not think of what else I might want to pick up while browsing.

6 more days til I'm home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 6 more days to lose 3kgs! :(

My littlest bro commented on how my face looks 'bloated' in my recent pics. I can hear fat jokes from him right about when he sees me again. Sigh.

2006-11-05T12:39:00.000+11:00

Drive myself Crazy

Man, I'm listening to that song by N Sync! It seemed like ages, the last time I saw that video, or even listened to the song! It was and I just found out, amazingly, IS still one of my favourite songs.

Its so soothing and for sad.

Need to so study now for my exam tomoro.

I read this blog once in a while, where my bro co-writes with 6 of his other friends. He hardly ever updates, but I just read one recent entry. He met up with some friends he hasnt met in like 7 years. I know for a fact that one of them was really pretty when she was younger, I couldn't fathom her beauty at this age now.

Another gloomy day. Its summer dammit! When will the weather be nice and warm again? Come out, sunshine!

I really should be stressed about my exams, but I'm looking forward more to going home to Msia. I miss home.

2 more weeks and counting, babey!!!!!!

2006-11-03T10:25:00.000+11:00

Happy Bday Smalls!

You're the cutest, bubbliest girl I know. You say the most original things, sometimes I wonder what more goes around in that little brain of yours!

Faster get your bubbly ass here to Sydney! Can't wait til you come, babes!

Happy bday, darlz.. and enjoy it to the fullest!

Alina's Bday

Any Given Sunday

Ever since I've heard this speech given by Al Pacino by his character in Any Given Sunday about 2 months ago on Zander's ipod, I've wanted to get it sooo badly.

Its one of the most inspirational speeches I've heard, EVER! It's the words, with the powerful delivery and background music that stirs you up.

I finally got that speech on my iTunes yesterday.

Which was good, coz it might just inspire me to study! :P

Words won't do it any justice, and you probably wouldn't bother readin it, but for those who want to know the geist of it, this is the 4 min speech by Al Pacino's character in Any Given Sunday.

'I dont know what to say really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished.We're in hell right now gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time.

Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I cant even stand the face I see in the mirror.

Y'know, when you get old in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's part of life. But.. you only learn that when you start losing something. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small.

I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

On this team we fight for that inch.
On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch.
We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing!

Between living and dying!

I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life any more it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team gentlemen, and either, we heal as a team, or we will die as individuals.

That's football guys, that's all it is. Now what are you gonna do?'

PIM CB

I was studying Unit 7 of Medical Science, and it involved a lot of antibodies, cells, etc.. and there were like 20+ names I had to remember.

So, when I came up with an acronym for a group yesterday, I was so proud of myself!

PIM CB

as in 'pimp' & 'chee bye'

Now, if only I can remember wat they were and what they stood for.

2006-10-28T01:28:00.000+10:00

Stereotyping

Of all the things I could do tonight, I watched Troy.

Seeing Brad Pitt and Eric Bana with their buff bods on screen was enough to satisfy my 'hunk' quota for the week! I'm so in love with Brad Pitt now. Why don't they make all men like that? Hmm, but then again, most guys who have bods like that probably don't make very good lovers anyway.

Think about it, in the past, men with physiques like that were most probably warriors. I wouldn't wanna be together with a warrior. There was no certainty whether or not he would live to see the sun. Everyday might be the last day I have with him. Every kiss the last. And when he's dead, I'd be crushed, devastated, demolished.

Now, men with those physique are most probably bodybuilders, athletes, soldiers or models. Models are most probably metrosexual, and it would feel really weird if my guy looks at himself and admires himself in the mirror more than I do myself. Either that or he'd probably know that there are more demand than supply of hunks like him, and he'd most likely cheat on me.

In those guys, I want that raw heat, passion, strength that warriors possess. I want to have the feeling that a man so hard on the exterior could be so sweet, soft and passionate when it comes to matters of the heart. The feeling of a man that takes charge, but not empowering.

A man who knows exactly what he wants, and fights for them.
A man who's not a coward, who faces problems with utmost integrity and dignity.
A man who does not let pessimism get the best of him.
A man who looks in the face of challenge, and fights on bravely.

'A brave soldier, and a fierce lover.'

But on the other hand, I think it foolish sometimes that guys fight for girls. I say, let the girl choose. Girls are not objects, nor are they prizes. They are human beings, with feelings, and the right to choose what they want.

Women are strong creatures. Since the beginning of time, women were pillars of strength in the family. They had to continue fighting to live, with the drive to care for their young even after their husbands die in war. They had to deal with rape and murder in times of war.

That was a quick peek at what I was thinking while/after watching Troy.

Did I mention that I fell in love with Brad Pitt as Achilles in that movie?

2006-10-26T15:29:00.000+10:00

Music : James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
Mood : Peaceful.

Mocha

Another Jack Johnson/James Blunt day.

But I started my day with a sunny disposition! Thanks to the lovely call I got from Tina!!!!! :)

I miss all my girlfriends.

To-do List :

1) PJ slumber party with SATC and bucketloads of our fav ice cream!
2) Clubbing! Getting dressed up, sexed up and hyped up! (damn lame -_-)
3) Chillout Pubbing
4) MOVIES!! + CARAMEL POPCORN!!!!!
5) Nonsense jabber at whoever's house.
6) ROADTRIP!!!!!

On one hand, I don't want to plan anything, because plans usually don't work out, when spontaneous and the most impromptu outings turn out the best!

So, I shall leave things be. Wait and see what happens.

Man, I'm so in a mood to sit at a cafe, chill with a mocha by the window, and watch the world roll by.

And with this song playing in the background, it'll feel like a scene right out of a movie where the girl just strolls around, while everyone else is bustling about - cyclists, ppl walking at superspeeds, cars zooming by.. while she walks leisurely with no apparent worries.

OK, enough of virtual thoughts. I shall come back down to earth, and start on my Physics assignment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Room

Just about slightly more than a week ago, my room was neat. I packed evrything up nicely.

Now, its all a mess again. I really don't know why I even bother.

:P

2006-10-25T16:44:00.000+10:00

Why are we always addicted to something bad for us?

Chocs.
Too much of em is bad for us, but we're still addicted to them anyway.

Alcohol.
Too much of alcohol makes us puke, but we still put ourselves through and through wid drinking anyway.

Smoking.
Once a smoker becomes a smoker, there's hardly any turning back.

Drugs.
We all know how hard it is for druggies to quit.

I know my addiction, and I don't know why I am putting myself through with it. I love it, and can't live without it, but at the same time, its not entirely the best thing for me at the moment.

Am I abusing myself? Do I get off the pain and hurt that comes with it? This so reminds me of one episode of SATC. Rings a bell, Tina??

Sigh, I dont know.

2006-10-24T13:52:00.000+10:00

Festive Mood!

It was Diwali 3 days ago. On an impulsive spur of the moment thing, Varun, Paul and I got dressed up in our Indian garb and decided to head out for some good Indian food at Surry Hills while Eshan was on his 1-month anniversary date with Melissa.

Today's Hari Raya. There was a Msian Raya thing, but I missed it when I went to see Anan in the hospital. Was craving Msian the whole night after.

Didn't help that I was browsing through pics from the Facebook Group 'I miss Malaysian Food'

I'd love to be at home at this time, what with all the festive moods and all. That's really one thing I love about Msia - all the different cultures meshed in one.

I reckon that our generation is so hybridised that we're all becoming more and more Msians, and less and less watever original ethnicity we are.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pics from Tan's bday..

Waiting for a call.. in the meantime..here are a few pics from Tan's bday..

Being that vainpot I am, and seeing I dont have much time to blog, I'm putting up pics featuring the lovely MOI!

ME! ME! ME!

OH, and some of other really hot girls as well..

Alrite, gotta run for lecture.. will post more later!

2006-10-22T22:00:00.000+10:00

Ming Room, 14th Feb 2005

Went through some old pics on my comp, and stumbled upon the ones that the 8 of us took at Ming Room, BSC 14th February 2005.

I still remembered how we were saying it would be the last time we'd have a gathering of the total of 8 of us. At that time, I never thought it would be true.

But now, after a year and a half, I'm seeing it. There might never be anymore times when it would be 8 of us.

It'd be 7, at most. Sigh.

Emo. Emo.

2006-10-22T16:14:00.000+10:00

(Just realised that my entry was super long.. dividing them into sections)

Studying for my prac exam tomoro.. just taking a little while to write before going to take a shower, and subsequently more studying.

Sometimes I wonder what it is that inspires ppl. I want to study, but I'm not inspired, and I don't know where to fish for my inspiration. Same for my want to lose weight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday..

Listening to James Blunt, Jack Johnson and the likes. It was the perfect day yestrday for those songs - rainy, gloomy, chilly.. Perfect weather to sleep in, study and laze around..

But I ended up running around in the city under the rain with Eshan, trying to find a perfect dinner place for his 1-month anniversary with Melissa. Walked from The Rocks(where the Hyatt is) to the Opera House, checking in at every other restaurant that had a view and good ambience.

On the way, we saw HEAPS of newly-wed couples taking their wedding photos yesterday.

We saw this flock of white Rolls-Royce followed by another string of BMW 7 Series, all tinted and stuff..What a sight to behold!

As if that was not enough, later in the evening, we saw another flock of cars- Mustangs.. red ones, and there was one white one, which probably was the bridal car.

I want a Rolls-Royce wedding car!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tan's Bday

Went through facebook, and saw pics from Tan's bday 2 nights ago. That night was filled with so many good looking ppl, I felt so tiny and insignificant. There was Ingga, Lauren, Celine(Tan's sis), Bianca, Melissa, Alina, Pinkie.. etc etc.. Yeah, you get the gist. They were like 2 whole leagues above me.

I think its official.. Thai girls are the bomb. And in Ingga's and Mel's cases, Filos too!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super HOT-ness

I think I most identify with Ingga's fashion style. That girl has that natural flair for piecing together something and look good in whatever they are. She's not one who looks up to anyone for fashion ideas, she just pulls em out of her wardrobe. And she's blessed with such a hot bod that she can pull off anything! I bet she could be wearing a table cloth, and make it look uber sexy. That girl is something!

Wow, I haven't written like this in ages. Like, typing everything that streams through my brains without censoring it first. This is almost quite the closest you get to the inside works or Shuen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JFFS

OH, I finally talked to Justin Foo yesterday, after like, wat.. 10 months???? It was good to talk to an old friend again. :)

Hey, buddy.. msg me on MSN once in a while lar k..

Same message to all my other old friends everywhere around Msia, UK and Aus.. Miss you guys!

Alrite, I think I'm off to shower, and hopefully after that feel extra refreshed to start anew with my studies.

Wow, how symbolic! I surprise myself sometimes with how deep I can be.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foxtel

Omg, I'm listening to classical music! Never have I ever..

hmm.. its actually quite soothing!

Man, I think I'm tapping into the more refine side of myself!

The other day, Paul gave me his room key, so that I could chill in his room and watch Foxtel while he was out.

I dont even know where to start about the wonders of Foxtel!

I got my dose of MTV, VH1, Channel V and additionally, fashion updates from FTV, and celeb goss from E!.

Man, Astro should have FTV and E! and the comedy channel.

Anyway, I was just bouncing back and forth those two channels. I was at the Milan fashion week one minute, and Hollywood the next. It was sooo good!

Wait, I had a point.. OH YEA! Me tapping into my more refined side!

Yea, so I was watching all those channels, and by chance, I flipped to this channel featuring some ballet thingie. And I was so fixated with the performance, I forgot all about the other channels.

I was watching that ballet for a good 20 mins! B4 I realised that the ads for the other channels were probably over.

I think I'm evolving.

Someone stop me b4 its too l8!

OK, OK.. really gonna go take a shower this time..

2006-10-21T20:59:00.000+10:00

*sob*

Its not a good way to start your day when you pick out your skinny jeans that you bought 3 months ago, try to fit into them, and can't!

Its sooo depressing!

*boo hoo*

I could still fit into them 2 months ago!

Uber depressed..

And I dont know what can make me feel better.

I know I put on a considerable amount of weight during the mid-sem holidays.. and I never quite lost them.. SADDENING!!!

No one talk to me..

2006-10-13T16:48:00.000+10:00

A few days bring much change

Its been a rollercoaster ride for me these past few days.

Some of you might ask why I did what I did, and its not something that I did because I WANTED to. There was just going to be too many problems ahead, and its not as practical as it sounds. It was not easy for me to make that decision, and was even harder to execute it. Post-incident is just as hard for me.

I just feel that if things are meant to be otherwise, there will be opportunities in future. If its meant to be, then there will be a day when it will be.

'Fragile' is what I feel right now.

And I guess only time will heal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the weeks draw nearer to the end of the semester, there is a marked increase in workload. Everyday, everyweek, I have something to rush off to hand up.

I have to work on a report this weekend, then start studying for my finals so I'll roughly get the gist of what's happening in the subjects.

Sometimes I feel like giving up. Sometimes I don't think I'm strong enough to walk the whole way through.

But I have to do it.

I think about my parents and how their faces would gleam when they see good results.

I think about how I'd feel such a great sense of accomplishment if I do really well in my exams given that I'm going to start teaching myself what's been taught in the whole sem less than a month b4 the exams. And not just for 1 subject, but for 5 heavyweighted ones.

I think about how I can party back in Msia without feeling guilty. I think about the 1st class honours I might be on my way to achieving.

Yes, everything makes more sense when there's a goal to look forward too.

I just tremble at the fact that my exam's goin to start in less than a month and I have no clue about what's going on.

*sweats*

Peanut Butter 'n' Chocolate!!!

That's the most divine ice-cream flavour EVER!

Its the combination of 2 of my fav stuff!

Went to Baskin Robbins yesterday and got a double scoop of PeanutButter 'n' Choc and Mad About Choc!! Was friggin' AWESOME!!!

I took my first lick, and was grinning so much that I my eyes weren't even really open anymore.. BLISS!!!

I enjoyed it sooo much that after finishing my Peanut Butter n Choc, I regretted getting Mad About Choc. Should've gotten a double scoop of P.B. n Choc instead! Dammit!

HAH!! I get Baskin Robbins here, Darren!!

neh-neh-nee-boo-boo

:D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Vroom..Vrooom..Vroooooom

Drove a car yesterday!!!!!

:D

:D

:D

I really missed driving! Just gimme a car to drive anyday, and I'll be pleased as punch! Anyday I'm down, just let me drive, and I'll feel sooo much calmer..

Was kinda nervous at first driving Paul's car.

The pressure of giving a good performance plus the fact that I havent driven in about 9-10 months made my heart beat faster.

But once I got behind the wheel.. that feeling went away. Shuen is back in the game!

Paul said he's surprised that *I* like to drive. He apparently hadn't met many girls who actually like to take control of the car.

He's also surprised that my driving was not bad!

Right, Paul??? ;)

My friends of 8, I'm a safe driver. See, Chee Yoong, I can drive OK! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are always ppl who seem flawless. Born with good genes, and therefore good looks+body, always looking good without much effort, have a great warm personality, good humour, good skills in everything from music to sports to art to studies. These ppl always make me feel small. Tiny. Miniscule. Inadequate. And that's how I feel right now.

I was being silly.

2006-10-04T22:29:00.000+10:00

Disconnectd.. tuuuuuut..

After calling up with Krys, my Mom and Mellie from my room phone yesterday, my land line credit ran out.

After msging and calling Aussie ppl on from my hp, my mobile phone cdt ran out.

So now.. I'm broke and detached from the world.

Call me, ppl.

Or if you do find time, please do e-mail me.. *sob*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girlfriends.

I think my lab partner's girlfriend doesn't like me.

:(

I was introduced to her a about 4 weeks ago, and I was trying to be friendly! But I don't think we hit off.

She's pretty hot, even Alex thinks so. Alex who keeps reminding me that Fen is hotter than me, and so could get away with wearing thongs in lab when we BOTH wore thongs the other day.

Granted, I think my lab partner's pretty attractive, even ALEX thinks so! And that would seem like such a gay thing to say.. or so Alex would say.

But even if I think he's attractive, I'm not gonna do anything knowing he's got a girlfriend! C'mon.. that's not at all ethical! OK, I know I'm probably the last person to say anything about ethics, but yea, its against my principles to make a move on any guy who has a girlfriend.

Wait, come to think of it, I probably wouldn't even make a move on any other guy.

Well, except maybe.. Dean! :P

And Wentworth Miller.

But my lab partner?

Thanks but no thanks.

Lab Partner's Girlfriend, you're really hot and you have him all yourself, don't you worry!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Persuading Skills

Anyone has any?

Care to share some tips?

I went for this Singaporean Satay BBQ thingie this arvo and we're all given 1 serving of roti prata (canai) served with curry chicken and 3 sticks of satay with satay sauce.

I tried to get myself just a measly one more piece of roti prata with curry chicken, but to no avail.

I even asked my friend, Yandi, who happened to be the President of the club, but sigh.. I didn't get it.

I can't bargain.. I never could! How unlike my brother!

He got himself a personal gym trainer for half the price.. something like from RM1000++ to about RM 500. Talk about negotiating skills!

How am I going to make business deals and negotiate in future?

I'm DOOMED!

But anyway, let's look at the optimistic side in today's rejection!

I was stopped from adding a gazillion calories to myself!

:D

:D

:D

2006-10-03T15:18:00.000+10:00

Fish!

I'm so proud of myself!

I cooked fish!

I bought fish for the first time in Australia yesterday. Given my repulse for handling raw fish, I got the pre-packed frozen fish fillets.

I was afraid that they'd have that fishy smell even when they're cooked, so I doused my fillet with soy sauce till the plate was flooded, added heaps of pepper, chilli powder, minced garlic and sliced ginger, and topped it off with oregano.

The fish turned out to be too salty.

But at least it was bursting with flavour!

:)

And not a single bit fish-y!

Sigh, how I wish my camera was still working. I'd want to capture that 'First Fish I cooked' moment!

2006-10-01T16:44:00.000+10:00

Home Bar

Last night was the last for Darren and Faisal.

I had a blast during the holidays, thanks to Darren and crew.

We were at Darling Harbour last night, and decided to play with the camera. Faisal's into photography! So he snapped snapped snapped..

The sky was an amazing background canvas for us. The clouds, moon, shadow.. together they created an intense mysterious feel.

..still waiting for him to come back from dinner to continue sending me more pics..

Fuzzy, fuzzier.. fuzziest!

Go camou pants! :)

Miss you guys already!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time..Whoooooshh!

Its amazing how time flies!

Just exactly a year ago, I was at Darling Harbour for the Latin Fiesta with Winnie, Tracy, Bobby, Andrew.. etc..

I still remember that it was the day Bee Ling taught me how to make porridge coz I was sick, puking and stuff.

Yesterday, walking along Darling Harbour was nostalgic.

Sigh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to earth!

Uni's starting again on Tues.

Need to start nerding again. Sigh. With the hols over, everything suddenly seems so empty.

Loneliness is creeping in.

I wanna go home.

And I miss my girlfriends.

*sob*

2006-09-29T01:11:00.000+10:00

Baby binds all

A baby's smile or laughter is so pure and innocent that it makes everyone's day!

Just the other night, this lady carrying this cute little baby sat next to Darren on the bus. All he (Darren reckons its a 'he', I think otherwise, but I'll just stick to 'he') did was look at Darren with his big round eyes, and then a little smile crept up at the tiny corners of his lips.

That was enough to melt my heart.

It was enough to melt everyone's heart on the bus.
Even the hard core, and by core, I mean outer 'shell', Arvin.
Even the cold-looking old man sitting right across me who gave us a look of disapproval when we got on the bus (must've been coz of Arvin with his long messy hair which makes him look like some druglord).

The whole ride back, I couldn't help but look at the cute tiny bundle. As much as I hate bratty kids, I can't help but go 'Aaawww' when I see such a cute little baby!

Sigh..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you go 3D, you never go back

IMAX was da bomb!

Watched 3D 'Ant Bully' today.

It was soooo cool!!

Everything had dimension and space, it was so real!
Heck, even the huge dorky glasses were cool!

When the water was sprayed, I actually flinched coz it felt that real!I even reached out my hands several times to try and grasp that ant or words right in front of me! I giggled and squealed like a kid the whole time.

Man, I wish ALL movies could be shown in 3D. That would be the way man! Everyone would actually want to watch movies at the cinemas rather than get pirated DVDs! Hmmm, maybe I should pitch that idea to the Msian government!

:D

2006-09-27T13:10:00.000+10:00

Happy Birthday Jaysel!!!!!!

:)

We've been thru a lot, especially the ups and the very downs.
A lot of special memories have held, a lot of them will never be lost.

We've both made our fair share of mistakes,
We've both had our fair share of arguments,
but most of all, we both shared the same feelings.

Hope you have the best birthday of your life this year.

May nothing bad ever interrupt this year's bday.

Take care dear.

Hugz! Muakz!

love,
Shuen

Good Times..

Watching The Devil Wears Prada the other day brought thoughts to my mind.

She made me wonder if I myself have changed without realising. I thought about change and how ppl change over time. I think that change is inevitable. Change is part of growing up.

I know that I'm not the same person I am 10 years ago.

I know I've grown from a clumsy tomboy to someone less tomboy-ish, though unfortunately, still clumsy.

I've grown from someone who couldn't care less about the clothes she wears to someone who takes at least half an hr getting dressed in the morning and a few days a week shopping.

I've grown from someone who spends my weekends at church n relatives' places, to someone who goes out with friends in Sydney.

But as much as I've changed, there're things about myself that I know still remained.

I know I still love to go out and run around, being my restless self.
I know that I need a lot of stimulation and a fast-paced life.
I know I still love the feeling of being free.
I know I still wish that everyone could be happy and that life could be less complicating.

It just bothers me when someone says..

'You've changed so much, this isn't the Shuen I knew and loved..'

Change, change, change...

All I know is that whatever comes and goes, there are some important things which stay..

Oh, and I did enjoy the movie tremendously! :) What's there not to like about it? Clothes+bags+shoes galore.. plus eye candies.. mmmm-mm..

Of course, my shopping urge skyrocketed after the movie.. but meh.. that can be dealt with a little later.. hehehe

And is it just me, or is Anne Hathaway always in movies where her character goes from bad/mediocre looking to a vision of beauty?

2006-09-22T01:12:00.000+10:00

Sometimes I dont know if having a blog is a good thing or a bad thing. I've refrained from writing personal stuff, but things still somehow get misintepreted by some ppl down the line.

Maybe instead of leaving things vague, I should make things more clear.

Or should I?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Had a wonderful long chat with Krys yesterday.
And it all started with her nudging me a couple of times on MSN, interrupting me in deep trance.
I rushed to her side thinking about all the possible emergencies
when she asked me..

How to make maggi mee goreng??HELP!

-_-'

Hehehe.. damn potong steam lah...

But I'm gald she did that.. otherwise I wouldn't have had the brief long catch up chat with her..

Makes me miss all my girlfriends so much!

I miss you girls.. LOVE YOU GIRLS SOOOO MUCH!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I SO SAD.

John said I'm chubby.

:(

It just reconfirms my claims that I gained weight.

Booooo hooooooo hoooooo

*sob*

2006-09-20T21:42:00.000+10:00

Vote 1o9459 - Shuen

Yes, it's election time! And my short, usually 1 min journey through Wentworth to get to microbiology lab took much lnger than that today. It was like a fuckin warzone!

I got ppl coming up to me left, right and CENTER!
LITERALLY!!
Each from different parties, stuffing their different coloured fliers into my hands..
telling me why I should vote for so and so..

I had to push my way through..
And when I came out, I was gasping for air..
It was as though I'd just crawled out of the thick dust and smoke in some war in the desert.. you know, like how it always is in the movies..

But come to think of it, they'd made really good bodyguards.. all surrounding me, walking with me, giving me no space to move at all..

Hey, maybe that's how celebrities feel with paparazzis.. :D .. hey! I got to experiece like 10 seconds of being a celebrity today! How cool is that?!?!

Hehe.. yes, that's me mind wandering off somewhere in the skies..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happiness is elusive

If there's one thing I can wish for, I'd wish that everyone's happy and will never have to feel sadness or dejection.. EVER!

It just makes me sad to know that other ppl are sad/upset. I'd wanna do anything and everything I can to make them happy again. Even if it means that I have to go through shit. I don't care. Even more so when those ppl are ppl close to my heart.

I just want everyone to be problem-free.

Sigh..

I feel so helpless...

2006-09-19T17:19:00.000+10:00

Smooth as a baby's bottom!

Yea, finally got that brazillian that I was deprived of the other day.

:D

This girl was pretty fast. All done in 10mins when it usually takes 30mins. Alrite, I shall take the opportunity tonight to turn in early, which reminds me..

Darren missed his flight!

Hehehehe.. I never thought it would happen, but it did! Its alrite dear, I'll see you early tomoro morning! :) .. *hugz*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll always be here for you..
Through all your tears,
through all your pain,
I WANT to be there for you.

I want to be part of your life,
and life has its fair share of troubles.
I want to be your friend,
to go through life like how it is - its ups and downs.

I want to show you as much or even more than what you've done for me.
I want to make sure that no one ever hurts you.
And if anyone does, I'll slap that madderfoker.
You, of all ppl, don't deserve ANY of this..

I wish that I could be the one going through all these instead..
I wish that I could be the one who suffers the pain, the insults, the beating..
Its far less worse for me than you, coz I've felt them b4, and I'm conditioned to it.

But you..
You don't deserve any of this.
You're an innocent victim of jealousy, malice and hatred.

It hurt me that you never talked to me from the bottom of your heart.
If you do really consider me your friend, you'd tell me everything,
Most importantly things that trouble you and weigh you down..
You'd vent out all your negative thoughts and feelings..
You'd tell me how angry/troubled you are..

I want our friendship to be measured by how much we're there for each other at times when we need each other most.

I love you dear, and I'm always just a phone call away.

*hugz*

Lots of Love,
Shuen

Tina Gospel

I've been introduced to this whole new world of tai-tainess.. haha.. thanks to TINA!!

What we did the other day consists of..
1)lunching with with our bfs, then
2)shopped around for a pair of red sexy shoes but kinda failed,
3)so we decided to pamper ourselves to manicure+pedicure+wax.
4)After which we went to Van Gogh for drinks + chat.

Since I've been here, I haven't had much time to really catch up with Tina since our alone time has been tremendously cut down and is now almost non-existent.

I really miss her.. :(

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's happening?

I've been having weird sensations, and troubled dreams these few nights. I don't know why. I would've thought that I'd feel the total opposite, but for some strange reason, I'm feeling this way.

First, I dreamt that I had kids. And that, to me, is a total nightmare. I was freaked out, scared out of my mind! I woke up feeling soooo scared. I cant tell the future, but at this point of time, the notion of kids, whether now or in the future is a very scary thought.

Second dream I had was when I had my mom around all my friends. Started introducing them to my mom over casual chit chat. Then all of a sudden, she asks one of them about my 'sexualism'. What the hell is 'sexualism' anyway? I have no idea whether or not that word exists, but in my dream, it seemed to have perfect meaning/existence.

I've also had trouble falling asleep.

Someone help me.

*sob*

Night out at Cargo

I've found the secret to a good night out! Wanna know wat it is??? wanna know? wanna know?? hehe

Start the night with a tequila shot followed straight up by a shot of chartreuse(since they dint have a bacardi51) straightaway.

Loosened me up quite a bit.
Finally started movin again!
Started dancin a little.
Started laughing a little.

Found a drinkin partner too!! :)..

Behold.. Mr. Julian ..Well, obviously not Mel's Julz..
*guy on left* Photo taken from CEO&corporate women nite.

You went for a shot without me, you bastard! its not fair.. you broke our pact! :P

I miss my camera. It just isn't the same without a camera to capture wonderful moments with wonderful ppl. It also sucks always having to get pictures off ppl. All the trouble.

Dancing wid Anan is fun. He's all out there, all loud moves, good moves.. good stuff! I think he was another factor I was dancing.. hehe

Man.. its been raining the past week. How depressing. I'm letting Girl, Interrupted run on the comp. Not watching it coz I went off for a while to make lunch.

Gonna go out to eat(again!) and watch Lady in the Water or something like that in a while.

Chill out day for me. I like. Although I'm bothered by the tiny voice at the back of my head reminding me about exam on Monday. :( Damn. Sigh.

2006-09-08T22:17:00.000+10:00

Its been so hard.

This week has been rough. Exams, assignments, projects. Nights where I don't sleep. Nights when 3 hrs of sleep is a luxury. Tears, unstable emotions. I dont know what's wrong. I hope its just plain pms. *fingers crossed*

I wish all I can do now is lie in bed under my covers and watch movie after movie after movie so that I dont have to think about anything at all. Anything.

Or maybe its a good thing I'm going out to Cargo tonight.

I want my mummy.

I want a hug. But at the same time, I want to be alone.

I'm scared, I'm confused. I'm only that strong. Still a little child inside. Vulnerable and scared sometimes. I'm tired.

Alrite, off to watch Gia while waitin for shower availability. Cargo Bar.. here I come!!!!!

2006-08-31T18:13:00.000+10:00

I DID IT!!! I really did!!!

*sob*

For my lab, there're a list of things we have to do where one of em will be picked to be marked in our continuous assessment counted towards our finals.

In my hurry to class today, I forgot to bring my beautiful flow chart that I stayed up last night to do. I even got up extra early to borrow Alex's question thingie to finish THAT other option off, thinking it might be marked.

But NOOOOOOO.. they just had to choose the flow chart!!!!!

It was soooo pissing off! Its not like I didn't do it! I mean, if I didn't do it, then I probably wouldn't feel so bad.

But the fact that I actually did it! Yet failed to get marks for my effort. Sigh..

Life's unfair!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Smiles.

Met up with Carmen today. We sat and chatted and chatted. Was SOOO good catching up wid her again!! :D

I missed her. Terribly.

She's a racket to have around! Wonderful girl she is. I love her.

Went through Facebook today. Saw Ingga's pix. And boy was I distracted! Paul kept talking away, and all I could do was ogle at her pix on the comp one after another.

She is SUPER, and I mean SOOOOOOOPERRRR HAWT!!!

Like, REALLY!!!

Again, life's so unfair.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bounce, ball, bounce!

I bought a small football yesterday so that I can play in my free time. Don't really think I'm gonna do much wid it, but hey, who knows right?

I'm so excited with my new ball!

:D

Along wid that, I bought a few pieces of jewellery from Diva, a few tops from Urban Edge(which were on MASSIVE sales! Think $130.00 tops for $10.00!!).

Had delicious home-cooked dinner at my friend's aunt's place. I never had a more delicious Indian meal in my LIFE! Really brings back the Msian flavor to me! :)

The smell of pizza's nicely waltzing through the window into my room, tempting me. Grrr.

Dammit!

I'm supposed to start a diet like, now, Pizza! And you're going to ruin it!

Man, I can never do diets.

2006-08-29T16:40:00.000+10:00

Disgusting.

Wear protection.

That's all i can say. After the visual images I've just gone through in lectures today, I can assure you that you never wanna contract any forms of STD's! Its disgusting on so many levels.

So, go get your glove!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/2 a dream is better than no dream

My friends were amazed at how lame I was yesterday.

-_-

They were positive I smoked something up in Melbourne and it's still in my blood.
Man.. getting the CK disease is not good!
Not good at all!

Oh.. one amazing thing??

I got full marks for my Physics quiz!!! And I was so stressed out coz I didn't get to study for it! Thank God! Prayers b4 tests DO help!

And, no Tina, I don't think this is a sign that I should go to Melbourne more often! haha.. I liked that reasoning though!! :D

I don't know what I got for my Pathology Quiz yet.. not very optimistic about that one.

I was sooooo tired last night, I slept without even switching the lights off!!! I did pamper myself with a rejuvenating mask. I think I'm gonna do the hydrating one today :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Domesticating

I loved Sunday so much.

That was definitely the best Sunday I've had in AGES!

It wasn't all that extravagant, but I always love having groups of friends chilling out in someone's apartment.

I love the atmosphere where everyone's chatting and laughing, watching tv and drinking.

I love watching ppl cook, help arranging things.

I love eating home-cooked food, esp when I feel so satisfied after that all I wanna do is ZZzzz.

I love being able to cuddle and chill in front of the tv, waching F1.

Everything seems so much more alive. Everything seemed so much more alive.

To top that, the earlier part of the day was spend having dim sum with ppl I care about, and we sat down and ate for a good 3 hrs! With more and more friends joining us.

Man, I want another Sunday just like that.

2006-08-27T02:54:00.000+10:00

Beach Club

As opposed to the one in KL, the one in Docklands, Melbourne is pretty good! I loved how the bar glowed with an orangey-pinkish tinge. Plus, there was a high percentage of good-looking ppl.. both guys, and girls.. ;)

Had a pretty good time. Just had to end the night a lil early coz I couldn't stand up. Not that I was drunk or anything. It was more like a semi-permanent headrush thing. Like, I'd get white stars and then everything turns white after a few seconds of standing up. And stays white.

The only other time I rememberd having this random 'black(or white??)-out' was after a bus ride back down to the city from Chee Yoong's place in Epping.

Anyway, all in all, night was good.. many ppl were there..

Strangely enuff, although I've been spending time here, I've been missing Tina quite a lot. :( . Haven't got any time to spend with her. Man, I don't feel like going back just yet. :(

Alrite, gotta go take a shower, then study. Sigh. Where did all the time go?

2006-08-17T21:26:00.000+10:00

CEO's and Corporate Hoes.

That's the theme for last night's party at The Well.

Chris drew a moustache for Ingga. CUTE!! hahaa..

The Office. Our posse.

Ingga, and her moustache draw-er

Chris decided to dress up the polar opposite. Some pariah ah pek.

TAKE 1!!
Tried a girls only pic. But wind was too strong. Additional moustache for Ingga!

Take 2!!

Take 3!!

We gave up!!!

Tried doing the infamous Tina pucker-up pose.. can't quite see it though.

Ingga with her men.

Andrew, Julian and Joshua

These guys lookin pretty good.

Tom getting some Ingga-Shuen lovin'.

Ingga said 'POSE!'

Sexy bootylicious Ingga with still pretty sober lookin Andrew.

NO MORE!!! *cries*

With our fav man, Alex.

It was meant to be a girls only pic, Tom.

Paul and I. Lansi at first, but really friendly afterwards.

Pucker up.

'Something kinky!' shouts Julian. Good enuf, Jul?

Handcuffs time!!!
The victim.. Andrew!

Dominatrix.

Scandal!!!

Whats up with Andrew and Fung?? Do they have something secretly going on??
Lets review their night..

Standing so close, but still giving no hints of what's to come.

Then they went back to my apartment..

Andrew goes first.

Then Fung.

'Look up at me, bitch!!' demands Fung.

Ending their night, but I accidentally stepped into their otherwise wonderful ~~gay~~ picture.

I just took a whole lot of time to upload LOTS of pics from last night.. but there's something wrong either wid photobucket or blogspot. DAMN! Feel so cheated of my time right now! sheeeeshh.. spent more than an hr for nothing!

2006-08-12T13:04:00.000+10:00

Snippety Snip Snip

I gave myself a haicut!

OK, it was only just the fringe..

I've subjected my hair to the straightenin iron, and now, the fringe, in just a span of about 2 weeks. Sigh.. I think I get bored of things too easily..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANK YOU

Thank you for giving me 2 slaps on my face the other day.
I needed that to wake me up from my happy bubble.
Thank you for getting mad,
coz I knew that it was a sign that you cared.
Thank you for telling me what you thought I needed to know,
because only then will I learn to be a stronger person.
Thank you for telling me that sometimes I should fuck what anyone else thinks,
and telling me reasons why.

I felt betrayed,
but you brought me up again.
For that again I say thanks.

I really appreciate all that you've done..

Thanks dear..

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Updates

I'm passing up outings to stay home and study.
Feeling rather anti-social ever since I'm back from Melbourne.
Maybe I've always been this way, I don't know.

I'm still trying to go on with my so far unsuccessful attempts to lose weight. I've apparently gained weight, according to A who told B who eventually told me.

I've proven that I'm not an 'excercise' person. I can't excercise. I'll die. But, according to John, cardiovascular excercises isn't necessarily just jogging or running. They could be..

1) Speed walking
2) Swimming
3) Skipping
4) Sex

Obviously, my eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope at the mention of the last one. Sounds more fun and less monotonous than the rest! Maybe I should try that out huh? ;)

2nd year Medical Science

2nd yr Medical Science has been quite fun. I was just talking to my mom on MSN the yesterday, and I told her about my encounter in my Anatomy lab.

We were looking at torsos and some endocrine glands there,
when I suddenly realised that staring up at me
was this dried shrivelled up penis.
I've never seen anything quite like it.
I felt a flush creeping up in my face, for some reason.

'Is that what I think it is?' I asked Sid.
'Well, I dont know what you think it is, so..I don't know!' *snicker*

Anyway, was traumatised/amused/embarassed for a lil while and then I got back to looking at more glands.

PUS-SY!!

Today, while studying about immune responses, we learnt something new!

PURULENT : adjective for 'pus'

Alex : *whispers* Oh.. so now we know its not called pus-sy!

-_-'

Imagine..

His wound is pussy.
I don't wait it to be pussy.
No, doggie.. don't like that pussy thing!

OK, nvm.. I'm not making much sense..

So tired!

7 hrs straight today!!!!!!

4 hours of lab from 9am which was pretty interesting considering we were playing with kadavas! I thought I'd have a major problem dealing with real human body specimens.. but it was not too bad! Really good actually!

1 hr of Physics tute right after lab. Basically spent it chatting to my newfound group mates.

2 hrs of Medical Science lectures. Tired as shit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INGGA
is one helluva babe!!!
She could be my new shopping partner here..
I shouldn't be celebrating!
But I can't help it!
She's a fashionista in her own right, and she's pretty damn good looking too!
Plus, her vibrant personality really brings her up a few notches in my book!
Loved the sunnies she had today..
She got em on sale..
It was down to $250 from $370 or something like that..
If I knew she was gonna come, I wouldn't have shopped so much through the year, so that I can STILL shop with her now!!!

:P

Happy happy..

2006-08-01T23:21:00.000+10:00

Hahaha.. being so far from home and getting to see a glimpse of home again is good..

This were what my brother's wonderful bunch of close friends did for his birthday..

They kidnapped him!!

I'm posting it coz it really warmed my heart and tickled me!

And seriously, which mom would just stand there n let her son get kidnapped like that in open daylight?

Jian's Kidnapping

2006-07-30T02:39:00.000+10:00

WOOHOO!!!!!!

Zoe said something which brought me up to cloud 9 today.

'Shuen, I wanna 'keep fit' and achieve a body like yours!

oh, and the most important bit...

'You have my dream body!'

How not to kembang like that?!??!?!

hehehehehe..

:D

*grin*

Happy happy..

So I ate a huge choc sundae and had pasta buffet for dinner! -_-'

UCARD BUSINESS

I have no idea what's wrong with my Ucard, which among others, functions as my key to my apartment building AND door.

I hope I don't have to pay $20 to replace it! Eeek!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hrmphhhhhhhhh

That's how I feel tonight.

So many things on my mind.
So many things I have to think about.
So many things worrying me.

Damn emo now.
And James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful' is on.
Extra emo.

You know what song is comforting though?

Strangely enough, Wang Lee Hom's 'Bu Yao Hai Pa'(Don't be afraid).

Oh, how wonderful!
Now its 'No Bravery'!

OK, let's talk about something.

Oh, I bumped into Andrew and Jo yesterday at the Sexpo!
Havent seen them in AGES!
I think it must've been at least 4-5 months!
Didn't feel like it though.
Felt like I just saw them yesterday.
Weird.

They're still very much together,
very much looking good healthy and robust.

I still remembered the first time Andrew introduced Jo to us.
Manning Bar, after (or during) a MADSOC event.
I still remembered thinking what a lovely redhead she is!
She seriously reminds me of a much slimmer Reese Witherspoon.

Since they were there, I thought I'd give Tim a call too.
I almost hung up, thinking he won't answer his call.
But amazingly, he did!
Still sounded the same ol' Tim.

Damn, my throat's killing me!
Its SO sore and dry!
My voice is cracky, with even the tiniest mouth movement hurting my throat.

Funnily enough,the other day we learnt about Whooping Cough in lecture!

Ok, suddenly dont feel like writing much anymore.

2006-07-29T01:09:00.000+10:00

S.E.X.P.O.

I had no idea what to expect, but as soon as I walked through the gates and was greeted with a bare breasted promoter, I knew it wasn't for the faint-hearted.

Being a virgin to events such as these, I came out very much more educated.

LESSON 1

Vibrators are NOT CHEAP!!!

They were averagely about AUD$60!!! And those were the prices after discount! I always thought they were like about 30 to 50 bucks.

.. I think that's basically where the lesson ended.. and experience started..

Stalls were selling everything and anything to do with sex. Its very much like the exhibitions in Mid-Valley, except this is much bigger.

I was highly entertained through the Male Amateur Strip Competition. It was HILARIOUS!

Line 10 guys up and ask them to strip down to their thongs, and you'll get all sorts of nonsense. From peekaboo dicks to body rolls to gyrating each other's hips Brokeback Style.. it was all very very amusing. I could hardly stop laughing!

Even my guy friends preferred the Male Competition compared to the Female Competition! There were just a measly 5 girls up on stage, and non quite so droolworthy save 1. Eventually, the MILF won the Female Strip Competition.

Of course, one of the main highlights was the performance by Miss Nude Australia, Arianna Starr.

She was HOT!!!

Man, what I'd give for her
BUTT,
POLE DANCING SKILLS
& BOOBS!

Took pictures with topless girls from PLAYERS SHOWGIRLS.

The girls loved my openess and enthusiasm,
one of them placed my hands on her boobs,
making my 3 other guy friends green with envy.

As we were leaving, the photographer discreetly slipped this into my hand..

Sigh.

I dont know whether to be flattered or insulted.

GOODIES!!!!!!

Its a SEXPO. Of COURSE I had to get something!

A little red dress + pink fluffy handcuffs!!!

:D

I wanted to get so much more, but I didnt bring enough cash. I didn't expect to spend that much!

*stretch*

I just finished tidying my room!
I can FINALLY see some of the grey floor carpet again!!!

The princess needs some sleep now!

NITE PEEPS!!!!

2006-07-27T00:52:00.000+10:00

STRAIGHT HAIR!!!!

Curls or Straight???

I wish I could do that voting thing.. but my computer skills not that good.. sigh..

P.S. Wai Hong thought of NEMO for my Orange+White saga!! :D.. I LIKE!!!!

2006-07-26T17:09:00.000+10:00

Happy Birthday Xie Wenn!!!

L-R : Krystle, Xie Wenn, Surene and Shuen

You still look as hot as ever, with your beauty and unique elegance that none can replicate. Take care girl and all the best in Melbourne!!! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun there!

Oh, yea.. was gonna wish you, but I didn't have your no. I told Tina to pass the message though..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rant..

Today was the 2nd day I didn't switch my heater off before I left for class. Grrr..

Came back to a super stuffy warm room!

Sigh, I can foresee a whole semester of unavailabillity on the phone from 2pm-4pm every Tuesday til Friday.

You know why??

Coz the lecture theatre doesn't have ANY phone connection! NO LINE! AT ALL!

I'm so used to smsing ppl when I'm bored sitting in lectures. Now, I have none of that luxury no more. :( Gonna have to sit through 2 hrs of lectures straight. How sad.

But its alrite, a few hot guys around, one particular hot Singaporean girl around.. so I guess its not all that bad.. *grin*

You know what turns me on? What turns me on is when a girl is hot AND smart. And I think that hot Singaporean girl fits the criteria ;) so she's my turn-on-ner

Anyway, I'm really starting to get back into life in Sydney. Meeting old friends, making new ones. Not too bad. Not too bad.

Almost missed my lab again!

It would've been bad if I really did coz I was supposed to go for this make-up lab after I've missed yesterday's lab. Labs are important. They're usually the only thing I attend since attendance counts.

Eshan beckoned me to go for the usual Wed night cheap drinks at The Well. I think I shall go and look around at all the new faces.

Gotta go get ready.

TA!!

A pic I took at Darling Harbour.

ADIOS MELBOURNE!! HOLA SYDNEY!!

It certainly hasn't taken me long to return back to my pre-hols routine of skipping classes and sleeping in.

I'm still suffering from post-hols blues.

Wait, come to think of it..I never in my life had post-hols blues. I still remember when I couldnt wait for school to start coz I had holiday blues!

I tried shifting back into my Sydney mode, but I still couldn't help :

..calling up UniMelb to ask about credit transfers
..dropping by IDP which happened to be opposite the clinic I went to today
..browsing through the prospectus wondering if I have good enough results for Medicine or Biomed

I think I really should stop thinking about Melbourne.

GET A LIFE, SHUEN!!!

*slap*

*slap*

*slap*

Alrite.. from now, no more mention of Melbourne in my blog! Though the same can't be said about everyday life! :P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zebra No More!

Krys and YY have been calling me a giraffe/zebra thanks to my long graceful neck(ok, this is not why they call me giraffe but it'll do! ;P)
and my black and white striped scarf!

Today, I've officially managed to fuse those two together!

I've gone on to wear my ORANGE AND WHITE striped Stussy top!!

*grin*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got MAIL!

Yestrday, Alex handed me my letters. Among them, there was only one particular one that fascinated me.

Its handwritten words stood out among the rest of the printed ones. I was immediately drawn to it.

Needless to say, it was the first letter I opened.

There greeting me was a note from Mellie!

How ironic it was that I'd receive a letter from her on the day she left Sydney!

She'd sent it long ago, back when she was still in Edinburgh. Thanks to the efficiency of POST Australia, the letter reached only on the 11th of this month.

Nevertheless, there was still that burning flame, warming my heart. You know, that feeling when you know you've receive a personal letter in your post, and that someone still cares about you?

I've kept that letter in a safe safe place, and is one of my most treasured possession now.

:)

2006-07-22T14:28:00.000+10:00

My last day of 10 days in Melbourne.

Sadness..

The past 10 days have been really memorable..

Newfound friends
Dramas
Lame jokes

Thank you my friends, for making my Melbourne holiday one of the best ever!

Thank you YY, Krys and Mel for flying all the way to Australia.
Thank you Tina and ES for making the effort to plan things for us to do and accomodating us.
Thank you, my new friends, for spicing up my stay here in Melbourne.

Thank you guys!!

Its felt like a wonderful dream, and I hope never to get up. But reality calls. Unfortunately.

A step back to uni will be very difficult. It will feel like there are a thousand horses pulling me back from that first step.

I dont know if its the daunting idea that I'm going to start 2nd year, or the fact that its just uni which equals more work. Or maybe, its the idea that I'll have to leave my wonderful dream and friends for another half a year.

I hardly know how it feels like to be in Sydney anymore.

I woke up extra early this morning, the first to get up actually, which is a first! I think I subconsciously didn't wanna waste my last day here in Melbourne.

Man.. I hope they're really serious about the roadtrip up to gold coast in coming September! I'm gonna miss all of em here!

2006-07-09T19:16:00.000+10:00

Attached..

I never knew I'd feel this way for my room!

My friends have been here for a few days now and all I care about now is snuggling up into my comfortable bed I'm so used to all these months.

The beds at SUV are actually really good, by far, the best I've layed my back on. Of all homes, hotels and rooms and etc. this has been my favourite bed.

I felt bad getting off the car and walking away. But I knew that I missed my room and to a certain extent, my freedom of doing things. Life is different here than in Malaysia, and there are things I HAVE TO do.

Being so far away from my place for the past few days certainly has been refreshing, but there are still things to be done.

Chee Yoong's leaving tomorrow.

We tried looking for a bottle of Belvedere, but the search ended in vain. The closest thing we got to Belvedere was vodka(belvedere) lemon lime and a shot of Belvedere. Its actually not too bad, but I STILL don't see what's really so nice about it.

I KNOW!!!

Maybe we should have vodka tasting like how they have wine tasting! :D

Hehehehhehehe..

INNOCENT!!!!!

As much as I may LOOK deceiving, *stares at Chee Yoong* , I'm actually very honest and innocent. But Krys...??? hehehhehehhee..

1st incident
She called Pei Fei and pretended to be ME to dig up some information. Such a big CON!! haha!!

And I *still* can't get over the fact that Pei Fei couldn't differentiate our voices!

2nd incident
I called Smalls, and told her I was Shuen to which she replied.. 'NO!! You're KRYS!!' for a good whole 5 mins or so..

When asked if Krys always tricks her, she went..'YEAH!'

Smalls really still didn't blieve I was Shuen even though I've repeated it so many times!

It was me, Smalls! It was ME!! Me NO LIE!!!

I'm so innocent OK.. haha.. but damn funny lar..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good FRIENDS,
Good FOOD,
Good WINE,
Good CHEESE

Since the arrival of Mel, Krys and YY, I've been SUPER bz, I haven't even had enough sleep to recuperate from the exam/world cup fever.

Went for a road trip up to Hunter Valley yesterday, and impulsively decided to stay a night there. It ended up to be a cold long night sleeping in the car. Probably the first and the last I'd like of THAT experience! Unless, of course, its a HUGER and MORE SPACIOUS car!

It was FREEZING!!
I didn't sleep a wink!
Alright, maybe I did.
Like, 40 winks.
So, yea.. I could probably be mistaken for a panda crossing the road if not for the fact that my skin's tanned instead of WHITE!

I have so many pics to put up, but they're all super big files thanks to YY's 6 mega pixel camera. Taken SO many pics in the last few days!!

Oh.. You know what??? You know what???
I never knew I was such a poser *looks down coyly* until these few days..

Most of the time, my poses really can't make it, but this time, I had so many different poses that at least one or two of them were alrite! Teeehehee!!! See.. when in doubt, just cover as much grounds as possible!!

Chatterbox

I noticed that recently, I have this tendency to stay back and talk to random ppl even after my friends have left. So much so that if we need anyone to talk to ppl for us, my friends just naturally push me to go do any talking (like how Chee Yoong naturally assumes the job of taking photos for us).

And c'mon, they didn't even need to *push* me to do it since I was very happy and willing to do it myself.. I should learn how NOT to sell myself short.

Oops.. gotta go change now and get ready to go out yet again.. the prince and princesses have awaken..

But before I disappear....

I have to say this..

GO, FRANCE, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
