along came..

my stuff that I "ordered" from home.. my mom got me my much needed cream, sunblock, blaa..and toothbrushes.. and most importantly.. my textbook that I wanted for Equities and Investment..

Its week 11 you say?  Well, its better than nothing.. plus the paper is late.  Reading a few pages of this 'fat' book has already helped me to get things into perspective.  An investment is what this book is!

Oh yeah.. okay, for the goodies my aunt so kindly brought back..

Heong Peng, though these are for giving away.. yee chai peng *ear biscuit*, my all-time favourite :P.. sat kei ma.. another yummilicious delicacy.. and some other herbs and tea she got from China and back home.. oh, and I got a new pair of sweatpants too!

We went to Maidstone to pick Timothy up.. first time seeing him in 6 weeks as I didn't see him on the day my aunt was departing.. then had dinner with Aunty Joy and Junny ;)

Yesterday was the second time in weeks since I slept at 11 or 12.. very late for me, considering that my "early morning" habits as Diana referred to, are really a pain..

Oh and guess what.. I checked the new video tapes that we collected from Tim's grandparents.. and I saw the Ten Brothers tvb series I'm watching/downloading.. hehe..

If anyone wants.. pass me CDs =)  I have a copy of them already, but its with friends.. so..

Ten Brothers - currently up till episode 14 only.. still waiting for the rest to be uploaded
Women On The Run - a HK version of Sex and the City.. hilarious comedy/sitcom kinda thing.. all in 14 episodes.  I have up till 12, still waiting for the rest to be uploaded..
Into Thin Air - a new series thats just been uploaded.. have only 4 episodes up.. so I have that..

In the midst of downloading another series.. don't know what its called in English, but since its Bulk 1-30 eps.. slowly wait ;D

Anyone up for a trip to Gold Coast anytime from Nov 11 - Dec 7?  Please let me know as I have a friend who is searching for people to go along with him..

Cost: $499, inclusive of 5 days passes to all Worlds, accomodation, and return tickets.  For more info, drop me a line at jeanchristie@yahoo.com and I'll get back to you asap! 

Will post pics in my next entry. I hope.
Oh yes, and I was the only one left out of the family reunion back home =\ besides my cousins and aunt in Switzerland, its me! memememe!  How sad.. nevermind.. I shall be going home in a matter of weeks! 5 weeks? 10 weeks? 52 weeks?  They are nonetheless, still weeks.. so I will be home in weeks! Yes Ling, I will call you right after I land and get my hands on a public phone hehe..

Turnaround

Amazingly there are still readers although I'm too lazy to update .. *mwahs* thank you :P

Anyways, opened my eyes only to see darkness.. so I went back to sleep.. then awoken again and this time to a brightly lit sky.. or sort of anyways.. a glimpse of the clock told me it was 0550 hours ;D

I lay in bed for a while and then got out to tidy up the place a little more seeing that my aunt was arriving home in a few hours.  Decided to listen to the online lecture for law at 6am but since the server was lagging.. (probably due to my BT downloads), I went to put the kettle on, tidy up the living area a little more, collected my laundry (afternoon showers expected!).. and showered.. tadaa!  It was only 0730.. did a little of this and that, waited for the lecture to load and stuff.. and another hour was gone.. once my lecture started, my aunt was outside the front door.

I'm sorry for making everyone at home worry about me, I didn't mean to say such harsh things, I'm really really sorry.. =)

First thing she said was.. hmm.. you look like you lost some weight.. (I hope she meant it) and my reply was.. " ooo.. really? thats great! " haha :P

She's sleeping now.. will collect Timothy later this afternoon then going over to Junny's for dinner.  Aunty Joy and Aunty Junny are such darlings!  Thank you so so SO much for looking out for me while my aunt was away Junny! *hugs* *kononla orang baca..ahhaha..*

I came home early yesterday, skipped lectures.. did them online.. Rach, will have to borrow your notes for BF yea?  Sorry Serene, I really and truly forgot about the meeting .. I didn't mean to ffk.. so so sorry.. to your friend too ;(

I arrived home around 3ish, and started cleaning the place.. I was too lazy to vacuum the car, but I washed and polished it.. so, its looking good!  All smart and shiny :P  Cleanest its been this year, I reckon! haha!

I wanted to participate in the Amateur Photographer competition as I meet all requirements.. then I read the regulations and found out that only PRs or citizens of Australia can participate.  What a party pooper!  feh!

My neighbour, Pamela, has gotten a taste of her own medicine.. only slightly harsher.. The house opposite of ours has gotten in a new spa pool for 2 weeks now.. and they have been partying almost every night since!  The poor lady sleeps with her window open.. and it faces the front, i.e. the back of that house with the spa.. so she can't sleep properly.. she said she woke up so many times one night and decided she couldn't take it anymore hence yelled out "HEY! ITS 4AM AND PEOPLE NEED SLEEP EVEN IF YOU DON'T!"

I, on the other hand, sleep very snugly under my covers until 6am every day ;D  Happy days!  Especially since Pam agreed to stop blasting music in the morning.  And now Pam positively hates me, in a nice way, because she was asking me about my holidays.. and the idea of me spending 3 months in Malaysia just blew her mind!  "what?! 3 months?!?! gosh you lucky girl!! I HATE YOU!!" <3<3<3

I'm a happy girl.  Will be even more so when I do well in my finals.  Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers, as I will for you!  Wheeeeeeeeee!

what do you do....

What do you do, when ........

you want to concentrate, but your attention span is as long a blink of an eye
.
.
you look high and low for motivation but it just doesn't come
.
.
you want to put things behind yet all it does return at the darkest moments to haunt you
.
.
your desire to do something is fading..
.
.
the fire within is dying..

---

To those who were there for me during hard times..
and my dearest popo who left almost 3 years ago..

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

#$%^@#$^!!!!

!#%#@$%^%#@$@#!#@$@!#@!#!@

I just realised this morning on my way to Junny's place that I had a piece of paper stuck to my wipers.  Not sure why I didn't see it yesterday while I was driving back from the station area.. so I stopped my car and peered at it.

MORELAND CITY COUNCIL

was all I could make out.. and I was like "wtf.....its a bloody fine!  I know its a bloody fine!"

And sure enough when I got out of the car to retrieve it, it was a friggin' fine!

PARKING FINE! gaaaaaaaah..!  Will post a copy of it later tonight.

Offence = parking within 10 metres after a bus stop.. <- like what the?!?! ..... THE LINE FOR PARKING IS UNTIL THERE AND THEY WANT TO PENALISE ME FOR THAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great.  On top of everything else, the joy and happiness is short lived.  Not to mention that its going to burn a big hole in my wallet! 

What a perfect way to start my day.

Dinner at Junny's tonight.  Oh, manage to borrow a pair of shoes for the interview from her as well.

Happy Birthday dearest Ai Ling!!  Will see what I can do about the cheap sale for you ;D

---

Xiaxue's entry on her make-up secrets is almost if not entirely identical to the one that minishorts blogged for the blogathon on Bloggers are Morons !! 

She has her thoughts on how she looks, and I have mine on her make up.  Make up is suppose to enhance your looks not make it look like you are hiding your face behind a layer of stuff.  Overdosage of mascara makes your lashes look fake and hence not nice at all.  At least that applies to how she looks on those pics anyway.  I've seen many aussies who apply waaaaay too much mascara and some don't even realise its looking terrible.  I feel for them.

Though there are those amazing people who apply make up on the train in the morning.  Mascara, blusher, lipstick, gloss, eye shadow.. the entire works.  Amazing feat! hahaha..

Royal Melbourne Show

Hello, the lazy blogger is back.

Pek Mei bunked over on Friday night after her Ballet show and the both of us met up with Jacin, Prita (I think), and Ben Han @ the Royal Melbourne Show.  Was great fun, except for the fact that my gums around the lower right wisdom tooth were KILLING me!

I can't believe I left my camera on the bedside table.. pfft!  But Ben came to the rescue! Right.  Because he was too lazy to snap pics anyway, I took charge of his camera and started snapping away ;D  Too bad didn't get to take those pics of the creative cakes =\

We spent the whole day running around the grounds, but the sad part was that I still didn't really get to see all the prized dogs.. only some of them =(  because they were closing up already around 5pm.. saw a she-goat giving birth.. or at the beginning of it anyway, water haven't burst.. and omg saw huge-ass literally cattles.. with fur coat mmkays!  Jacin was saying that they look real fake, the fur I mean.. coz the are so perfectly striped across the torso of the cattle.. but the calves were adorable!  A week old calf is bloody huge =.=" 

Then amongst the pavillions, there was one by Safeway.. and guess what we found?  A Chilli stall!  From NSW.. their chilli sauces range from 2/10 - 10++/10 .. 2 being the mildest, you get the gist ;)  Pek Mei and I were having a good time trying all of the sauces alright and boy were they hot!!  They gave more of an after-taste hot kinda thing.. like your first bite is fine, but after that you'll be searching for water! LOTS of it!  Anyways, Mei and I end up buying 4 bottles, Mei bought 3 bottles of the hottest one, and I bought a slightly milder one.. 7/10, hot enuff lah.. sumore my gums like that.. I realised yesterday that when I ate the chilli dip, my gums hurt! =\  Have to stay off it for a while..  Walking around the pavillion, we tried lots and lots of food.. I wanted to buy some other food stuff, but they didn't have the offer for the one I wanted, so tak beli.. but bought apricot chutney, twin berry jam, and tomato relish from one of the stalls, all for $10 =)  All were nyums!

Ben, Jacin and Prita and Mei and I kept separating as the trio had a treasures to hunt down, while Mei and I were taking a Saturday stroll..

Anyways, because of the lousy gum/toothache I couldn't eat much, didn't have the appetite either.. and while Mei and I both exhausted! waited for the trio to go on their rides, I ate 2 slices of the white bread that they collected from their treasure hunt.. and even that I had difficulty chewing it.. that day was really bad.. talking left my gums aching, so I was pretty sullen for the later part of the day.

Pictures will have to wait until Ben and Jacin send the files over to me..

Was planning to have a dinner at my place, to meet up with the rest, and also coz its cheaper with us sharing the bill than if we ate outside.. but since Rcjy and hsemates have yet to reply, may have to postpone because haven't bought the stuff for steamboat..if not keen then cancel it and have the one with CY and frens for pisang gorenggg!!  ;D

*swears at wisdom tooth for making me hurt so much..!*  The pain and swelling is almost gone when I woke up this morning, and then for no reason, it started again.. gaaaaah!

what a day!!!

What a day!!

Anyways, after a long day of day dreaming and classes, I finally got home.  And guess what?

ITS HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! :P

Found a whole pile of mail, including Aunty Joy's in my mailbox.. and right at the top of the pile.. there it was.. all yellow and red.. EXPRESS POST .. with my name on it!!  I knew at once what it was.. all the hopes and pleas and it has arrived !!  All secured.. hohoho, no backing out now! *rubs hands together in glee!*

Oh yeah, while I was waiting for my next class at the John Medley Library...

There I was sitting down, reading.. minding my own business.. when suddenly I caught a whiff of a foul smell.. BO!  I looked around and didn't see anyone moving in particular.. held my breath for a while.. then breathed again.. and it was gone.. then later, AGAIN!  Hui Li came to sit next to me, but after a while, I mumbled a quick "it smells, I'm moving" and left to find another spot.  Not long after, Dennis came and sat beside me.. exchanged hellos and continued to read.. then this big guy walked pass us, and bLerrrGHhhhhhhhh..!!!!!!  HOW HE STANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even AFTER he left, the smell lingered on!!  I hurried over to the counter to get those books I want on loan then went back to my seat.. at least the smell was gone.. what a relief!

So yeah... I'm so HAPPY!!!!! ITS HOLIDAYS!!!! hahaha :P  I want to go to the Royal Melbourne Show and the Tulip Festival.. anyone up for it?  Diana?
