Singa-pura Trip

Finally headed down to Spore wif ling2 to meet our sporean frens :D

Day 1 -- We arrived there on the 12th, prob 4 plus & it was raining..waited for JJ at novena sq & chilled till 6pm only left..zhilin has to help out in the pre-departure briefing, so JJ, fawn & Ian entertained us for the 1st nite..we had laksa steamboat smwhere at Harbourfront. YUM !!!

after dinner, we had a walk at henderson wave..its actually a sky bridge wif nice architecture..lepak again till 10plus..& back to JJ's aunt's place. Zzzz

Day2, woke up early & gathered at vivo city..zp was late!! -.-

anyway we took monorial to sentosa island..went for desperados & water log ride..hmmm just normal, kinda felt cheated for the money we've paid! nt really worth it..haha then we continue walking ard & take pics..

Special thx to JJ..for the accomodation :D

After lunch, we went back to take a shower b4 gathering at fawn's place..

celebrated Ling2's bday there, & depart to night safari right after that,
without having our dinner..zhilin fetched us there in fawn's mum's car..& zp fetched us back

it was great spending time there, looking at most of the animals..
i like the flying squirrel..i actually saw them "flying across" from 1 tree to the other..

we ended our 2nd day with a supper at a mamak store smwhere near fawn's place.

Day 3 - dropped by to meet JJ's mum, then headed to zp's big big hse..played taboo there till 1 & decided to leave for lunch, b4 hitting back to KL again..

Lunch at Fish & Co

& finally bidding goodbye..

wif zhilin missing in the pic..

Thanks every1 for making this trip an awesome & memorable 1..
love you & shall cya guys back in Melb again!!

2010

are we 2 years away from 2012? lol mathematically yes we are..but wht i meant was that dramatic 2012 wif all sorts of disasters..& imagine if smthing really hits our planet..kaboom & everything just gona be wiped out in the blink of an eye

k anyway back to reality, we may not know wht are we gona face the nex day tho..i just wish to know more things & live my life to the fullest while i can..im blessed & lucky to be in this family..& im enjoying lots in msia rite now..those kinda stress-free life..

Mixed feelings blenched in wheneva im thinking of the time i left b4 getting back to aussie..its good that i will start off my 2nd year..studying & learning stuff..equip myself wif more info..
but i dun like the fact that i have to be away from my family & frens again..
back to my lonely life..i felt lonely seriously tho i have nice & close frens there..

i finally had a look wif the units im undertaking this year..& those units seems fun..but once uni started, complains will be back again..lol
im still kinda undecisive abt the subjects which im majoring in..
immunolgy?
pathology?
pharmacology?
biochemistry?
everything sounds alrite for me >.<

i thought of majoring in pharm then do the honours..or immuno..
but incase im not allowed to advance in those respective field, there's always a very safe pathway <>
just the matter of whether im allowed to or not depending on the grades

so i start of my 2010 resolution with,
- study hard hard to maintain & improve my grades..GPA #
- must continue to gam fei & control diet >.<
- save more $$
- try to work part-time if possible ( hope to get summer scholarship to work during year end )
- go smwhere for holiday during breaks..hahaha

actually i cant really think of anymore goals to set rite now..the fundamental thing i have to do well in is my studies..be healthy & wealthy..mentally & physically..
know a little in music, in sports, in knowledge, in other hobbies, abt my frens..
all these will lead me to knowing a little about a lot !! my quote :D

I enjoyed the moment of "doing nothing & slacking at home"..dun need to rush for assignments, being updated wif lectures & nerd for exams..haha

& i was bz watching this spore drama (little nyonya)..many thoughts just came by as i was watching it..indulging in the movie & tears flow by..at least i was relief when the show ends..bringing me back to reality..it makes me think how fortunate i am to be able to undergo whteva i want right now..RIGHTS, education, freedom in speech, love & marriage..many many many things..

Anyway, will b away for holidays from 2mr onwards..more updates till then :D

*** Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday !!~ ***

Lifegroup back in Malaysia

Finally is our princess MANG MANG's birthday !! She always claims that she's kinda 1 year younger compared to those of the same year..haha..

wheneva i take a pic of her, she will always pose wif FOOD..

& this is her 3rd bday celebrations..

1 in melb, 1 in singapore & now in KL
GOOD TIMING !!

Celebrated at Italianniese Garden

Rem & yp were my guests for the last 2 days..come to KL more Rem! i will layan u..haha
had a great time 2gether..& hope u enjoy ur penang trip!
& we had buffet steamboat for dinner last nite..makan again!! hehe

More plans later..till then :D

2012

Result was released last thurs evening & im glad that i managed to acheived the desired results..not to say really good, but knowing my own standard, im alrite wif that since i made so many mistakes during exams..

Anyway, I've been exercising..nt everyday bt alternate days..yet i still cant slim down -.-
I love swimming now adays..& at least i dun feel tired while im swimming..but it will take me longer time to wash my hair >.<

hmmm i watched 2012 ystd wif my family..its rather dramatic..but no doubt, things r happening to us..slowly but surely! tsunami is already a sign..bt anyway, we may not know wht's gona happen the nex min, the nex hour, the nex day!

so whine less & move forward !
learn to appreciate things & the ppl around me..
& take the fact that im still able to blog rite now as a blessing :D

to the imu ppl, all the best in ur exam preparation!

Im tired, but i cant get to sleep..& my heart rate is kinda irregular..(SNS > PNS )
but dun worry, thts just normal symptoms during..exam period, or when, the result is releasing soon!!! either 2mr evening or friday..arghh..i dun like this kinda hanging feelings..but im under pressure now..duno y..have a feeling that i wont do that well this time =.=

i screwed up 1 of the big ques in biostats..mcq neuroscience, easy to pass, bt nt easy to score..genetics will b my weakest of all i think..leaving foodchem which i think shud b fine..
I know it is pointless to think abt it, since it has been marked..i cant change anything..perhaps im just thinking, & trying to convince myself that it will b fine..but i wont mind if the results r being released 2mr..at least get it done..oh well..no matter wht kinda results im getting, i can still proceed to 2nd year..as long as i passed all of them..so y stress?

I DONT KNOW..

Home Sweet Home

Still nt the end & we continued watching movie in the afternoon..since majority have watched most of the movies, & based on our timing, we decided to watch " The Box " at cathay..& ppl, dun watch it..i find it really STUPID..till the word "the end" appears, i still dun really get the show..ok mayb its a bit exaggerating, bt still, not worth watching =.=
Im gona watch other movies..so whoeva haven watch any movies & wants to watch it, call me out :P

2mr going back to malacca to celebrate my grandma's bday..

Till then :D

Bye Bye 1st year !!

I have been waiting & anticipating for this day to come..
whenever im muggin my book
in my 2nd home library

I have been striving for so long
hoping that exams will go on smoothly
unfortunately it just went against ur wish
not all, bt there is..

I have been couting down to the number of days to liberty
the number of days to go back to my country
& reunite wif my friends and family
slowly but surely..
without realising, time passes by rapidly
& 2mr is the day in which my dreams come to reality


& so, I've ended my exams on the 16th of Nov..The min the clock strikes 4.40pm, pens down & all our papers were collected..that particular moment, i know im FREE..

The nex day itself, I went out with ling2, chyi wei & melissa to the city..for some last min shopping b4 going back...we spent quite a lot..but its alrite..

our routine :
city > chaddy > home > ling's place > halls & yuwan's place > queenie's hse >

FINALLY back home

A small gathering b4 queenie goes back..

farewell as well as after exam party..

this crowd is a mixture of frens from different faculty tho..

med, biomed, nutrition, econs commerce, education ?

hahaha rojak!!

Lethargy will never stop me from going out man..haha

continue wif more activities the following day

After such a long period of time, I managed to get a group pics wif them..my biomed gang..
We had lunchie at the Glen..& chatted for quite some time b4 proceeding to the sticker photo booth..or whteva u call it..& spent another 1 hour there? hmmmm


We have been studying 2gether for 2 sems, bt this is the day we actually come out for lunch & take some pics..quite sad but thts the truth..

I dun have the mood to take pic in uni..thts too random=.=


Helen & Peony are the 2 buddies whom i meet in the library constantly

After lunch, rush back to bathe, & out for dinner wif another group..
Eilene ~ Vina ~ Jerold
Different course but similar units..

& if Im not mistaken, i think they r the only 3 in uni who take note of my blog..haha

Eilene, u r some1 whom i met only RECENTLY..so recent till i barely believe the friendship that is being shared between us..which is so real BUT in such a short time

U made me believe that duration is not really a matter in finding a true friend!

We may not be doing the same unit anymore, but i hope u can get to transfer to the course u desired..or at least, do something u like k!!

Vina, age wise u appeared to be young..& u do act younger too :P haha

but deep down in heart, the determintation & perseverance in you are just so powerful..

u aimed high, & always want to make ur parents proud..Im sure u did well, & will do well in the future too..continue to shine Vina ~

Lastly, Jerold !! aka Ji Rou~ Its really a blessing for me to know u here..some1 whom i discussed my work with from time to time..& u motivates me to study when i SLACK..

u r also another super hardworking friend man..dun worry, HD's r on the way for u!! haha..

From nex year onwards, biomed & nutrition & sc wont be doing similar units anymore..

however i hope that that is not the reason which separate us apart..

nor hinder us from continuing this beutiful frienship..

To all my uni-mates, as well as lifegroup friends..

bcoz of YOU, i've made it through 1st year!

Thanks for sharing my aussie life with me

& you ppl rocks man!!

2 down 2 to go !!

phewww just done wif 1 more paper 2day..which is food chem..50% relief now & another 50% more to go..

hmmm my 1st paper was kinda "dissapointment"..sigh..but just let it go..& on thurs while i was trying out on the past year ques, i seriously felt like im gona fail foodchem..coz i barely get to recall the stuff that i've studied..but luckily the paper was fine..hehe 3 days can make a diff man!!
& 2 more days for me to make a difference in my genetic paper & another 3 days for my neuroscience..all the last min brain storm-ing..i think my brain is gona explode soon..but yea, 1 week from now, im gona merdeka & not gona touch the book anymore till nex year!!

im kinda exhausted by now..im nt sure how long more can my body take it..plus the freaking hot weather!! melb's weather is crazy=.= it is so so hot that each time after a walk to & fro from uni, i felt feverish..ah its ok..1 more week 1 more week !! & i dun need to step into the library anymore..

i cant wait to go home..i miss my family & frens so so much..will cya guys real real soon!!
jia you k for those who r still having exams..

p/s : its already 2am & my hsemate is still cooking..i hope the smell doesnt seeps into my room, coz im feeling hungry for the moment..hahahaha..k gud nite :D

Im still surviving

I think im almost drown in the ocean of books or lecture notes or pass year papers..but i know i will survive thru this exams & gona enjoy like mad after this!!




once again, its fri! usually i love fri a lot coz at least, this means that i will have another 2 more days of rest..but for 2day, i dun even feel the existance of friday..which day it is doesnt really make any diff to me..is the no. of days remaining till my upcoming exam day that matters..oh well, every1 is whining abt their exam preparations..

But it will come to an END soon ppl !!

just continue to strive &

no cholesterol ler..cool rite?

this oil is for us to drive thru the journey of exam preparation,

or applicable when

u need to burn ur "midnite oil" too :D

Happy Birthday Yuwan

This pictures said it all..

& 2day is yuwan's actual Birthday..

we celebrated early bday for her on Sun evening..

This is the first time i see a group of ppl celebrating with 3 bday cakes..

all freshly baked from oven, by the master chefs..

Ling2 & chyi wei baked the first cake..Im the ke-le-fe helper..

& the next 2 cakes were baked by Claire, the girl in yellow..cool rite? mayb she shudnt take up med..her cheesecake was just so so yum!

This is the little pressie i've done for her..

Yuwan, u're a very special fren, whom i met during the pre-departure briefing in msia..& u constantly followed up with us,

helped us without hoping for any return..

pouring & showering us wif love..

Bcoz of you, I get to know lifegroup, the 1 big family..those whom im counting on

Bcoz of you, my life in Aus is memorable..

You're the 1 :

who treat ppl wholeheartedly

who treat me like a younger sis & pat on me

who constantly put other ppl first than herself

who never hesitate in helping anyone

who cooked & prepared "jia you" meals for us during our exams

who delivered the food all the way to our doorstep or outside of the library :P

who encouraged me from time to time

who neva let the word "tired" conquered ur mind

who acts young but thinking "old"

who brings up the atmosphere among the crowd

who....

***endless***

My thoughts and graditutes towards you are infinite..but when the time im asked to express it, I only get to recall 50% of them. & so the words that I've written on the card, are just part of them..

You're doing great Yuwan & i sincerely wish u all the best in everything u do..

I send to you warm wishes, that your happiness will be as wonderful as the happiness,

you have always given me.

Happy Birthday !!

week 11 & week 12

hello bloggie..have been neglicting u for so long..anyway, just realised i haven been blogging abt week 11 & week 12..& up till now, nothing seems to come into my mind..what have i been doin lately? I guess is the same old sien routine of going to uni, lectures & labs, rushing for assignments & camp in the library for hours..at least, i dun have to camp alone..i have fren or frens wif me to sama sama camp :D Go Eilene..u r gona be my top library buddy for this sem's preparation..lol..& jerold & ling2 as well..

Anyway, we did this big 1m x 1m poster on trans fat..which took us 1 week to finish it..
too bad i got no idea whts wrong wif my hp, i just cant seems to transfer pics from my hp to the comp =.=

ohya, we celebrated belated mid autumn festival last Fri at our lg..it was just awesome to share that night wif frens..we played games & our team won..bcoz, we have great ppl & great brains in my team..hehehe..we actually played wif the lantern..a whole big gang of 30 of us? hold on to the lantern & went round the nearby neighbourhood..& the passer by must be wondering wht's wif this big group of young adults doing in the middle of the nite, at the middle of the street? lol...

but anyway, back to reality & I only have 2 more weeks to go b4 i start of my 1st paper..time is running short yet the adrenaline level is not high enuf to trigger the "anxiousness" in me..Perhaps there is..but i guess other form of distractions are pullin me back..but from 2mr onwards, I will only have to focus on studies..Im so so glad that i can finally get out of assignment life for the time being, at least, till the next sem..

The good news is,

Merdeka in 1 Month time since my last paper is on the 16th of nov,

Even better news is,

Im going home on the 20th..

The best news is...

Exams are in 2 weeks time la hello..stil wana hope for best news? hahaha...

my stress level is rising..
i think even if i close my eyes rite now,
the statistic figures are still dancing in my head.
but all these are coming to an end..
i meant, assignments ONLY..
bcoz there r lots more of studies & revision
lining up to be done within this month or so

Its Mon again

we celebrated Fawn's bday last nite..is her 21st bday!! hehe..happy bday girl!!

Back to reality, some of u might heard me saying, ' i need a break' weeks b4..but in the blink of an eye, its over..no more holiday-ing mood for me, but get back to more serious work now..when i went to uni this morning, i can hear every1 saying, that they barely do much revision over the break..haha..i think its normal..holiday is meant for us to rest & enjoy rite?? thats just a way to console myself..

Looking at the pile of notes, that I've to study over this 1 month plus to prepare myself for exams..shall i say it's demotivating or motivating? Despite studying it b4 that, but we tend to forget stuff..meaning, we have to re-read the whole thing again..bet many of u r into this kinda situation too..

i shall say--A journey of a thousand pages shall begins with a single flip of my notes..starting fr 2day!! haha...less than 1 month to my first paper..oh man >.<

oh well, it is possible for us to prepare ourself for the exams..not only to my uni mates, bt to every1 who still considered themselve as a STUDENT..haha..is the end of the year, & majority will be having their exams soon..so just try ur best & im sure u can do it:D at least, give it a best shot instead of saying, i got no time, i cant study..got to know that,
even if we are on the right track, we will get run over if we just sit there!!

so jia you my frens !! & boy too..

My sem2 Break :D

After a long long study period in semester2, we finally have a BREAK !!..

Friday nite itself, i went to lifegroup as usual, & after that we stayed back to help Ivy with some preparation..bcoz the next day is her BIG BIG DAY :D

Saturday..

Ivy & Ian's wedding

apparently this is their 3rd ceremony..

1 in Msia, 1 in Spore, & the final 1 in Melb..

cool rite..hehe

The crowd is simply too big to squeeze every1 into the chapel..

so some gentlemen had to stand outside wif the umbrellas as it was was raining..

The medical lifegroup ppl..whom are all under Ivy the bride :D

Congrats to Ivy & Ian !!

Sunday...

Happy Birthday Rem & Wei Chong

So, it was Remina's 20th & Wei Chong's 21st birthday celebration..

We celebrated at En Izakaya -Balaclava, which took us like an hour to arrive..

It serves japanese cuisine..but is very westernized..& we can c many ang-mo's go there..

This is a restaurant recommended by master cheft..

It was nice overall..We managed to surprised Rem..Thanks to tommy & mangyik who made it a success :D The crowd was just too big, that it was splited into 2 groups..

& the fun started when we r about to order the food..we shared our food in a group of 4..

zepeng : what should we eat..

we : anything..everything looks good..

some1 : y not we tried the pan seared duck breast..

we ordered some other food too..& every1 was ok wif it.

when the waiter is taking our order, we ordered 3 dishes, leaving 1 behind..

we : what about the pork ball? what's the serving size

waiter : oh, it is only 1 pork ball..

we : oh, it is not enough to be shared among the 4 of us

waiter : y not u try this pork slices, it is really good & there are 5 slices of them

we : oh its fine..*thinking that 5 slices arent gona be enough for the 4 of us too*

so we decided to just leave it aside & set with 3 dishes..

& so, while waiting, the 2 guys sitting opposite of me just started singing..bla bla & joke dam a lot..till the dishes arrived..

errr, is this our food? the dish on the left is the so called duck breast on wombok..

it is only like few slices only..& they were quite shocked..

we were stunned too..haha..

imagine this is the amount to be shared by 4 of us?

2 guys 2 gals..haha

& so we continued guessing the size of our 3rd dishes, some baked cod fish..

My estimation was the smallest..followed by yong pin, then yu wan..

ze peng is being too.."naive" to think that the cod fish is gona be that big..sry zp >.<

tadah !! thats the size of our final dish !!

how 'big' it is man... bravo !!

Obviously, that 3 foods add up, is only equivalent to my, appetiser ? Imagine 4 person are sharing the food..joker la..but we just enjoyed the food..bit by bit..

& after that, sapu the birthday cake..hahaha..so that was our dinner :P but its alrite..we enjoyed it & most importantly, the birthday gal & guy are happy :D

Happy Birthday once again !!

1 more week to go !!

need to hang on for another week, & 1 week break after that!!.. argh looking forward to it so so much..i really need a break..
