Just came back from a church event, some international students welcome night. Its fun, really fun. I did enjoy myself so much, making new friends etc.. Im happy that i got to know this church, its not those noisy and rock type. This is quite peaceful. Best of all, its like majority asians!

Had dinner with a few of them, they seem to like to tease each other about almost everything but of course, no offence taken. Its just another way to get close.

And i did some thing i did for less then 5 times in my life, not against my will at least. I went jogging!! heh heh.. Stamina sucks but at least i did try to jog ok.. I went to Carlton Garden to jog, its so beautiful, only thing is that its winter and the trees are all botak. I bet in spring n summer whould be the best time to see beautiful flowers and stuffs. I will take pictures during the 4 season and compare.. heee...

Next aim is to jog towards Melbourne Uni. which is not very far from us and we didnt really go towards that direction.heee...next saT!!

I really cant believe how satisfied i am when i get to drink coke, and eat cream crakers with sugar. I seldom have such crave but over here, i seem to crave for EVERYTHING!! But everything is so expensive here, buying stuffs need to think twice, unless they are on offer or at a reasonable price. A bottle of 500ml coke cost $2.60. Add another $0.20, u will get a 1.5L one. But, the thing is, i dont drink coke alot, so if i opened it, and keep in the fridge for too long, there wont be gas anymore.I just wonder how come coke here is so expensive?! Do they really hate americans? But the Doritos Nacho is cheap.. haa.. because its an Australian brand. The cream cracker with sugar i bought cost me $2.05. I can get the same product at 1 plus SGD.

Comparing prices here is really scary. Anyway, after school today, we went over to Geok Tin's place. But on our way there, she brought us to the shop that she bought her scarf. Cheap! Its gloves, scarfs and hats selling at 3 for $5. The designs are really nice too! I bought a gloves which shows my fingers, so that i could use it at night to type without feeling that cold (which is what im doing now). LiJie bought a scarf and Xinyi also bought the same gloves as me. And as we walked along the streets, we saw so many shops on sale, and we went in which ever caught our eyes. I bought a really thick and long and colourful scarf for only $6!! Usual price is $12. Its a bargain! I was like thanking God that i didnt buy the scarf earlier on as i did see one that i like. So many things are at such great prices that i think when my sister come her, i think she wil go nuts.

We headed to Geok Tin's placa and Wow, her place is really nice.Big and cosy. Fong Fei cooked dinner for us, but i had my lunch box with me so i only ate their dishes plus my fried rice. I felt so sleepy at their place after dinner as its really comfortable. They both showed us photos of places they have been last semester and its all so nice!! I cant wait for Sotong to come and we'll go together! heh heh

They told us another place which sells cheaper groceries if we buy in bulk like 3 or 6. And we really did buy things in bulk. Like Ayam brand chilli tuna, Spiced pork diced, and not forgetting my chilli!!! It sells at $2.20 per bottle, and i bought 6 for $11.80. Of course im not taking all 6 bottles for myself, sold 1 to Geok Tin and 5 is MINE!! wahhahahahah... Cant live without chilli, it spicy and so it does keep my body warm, and making me eat more! haaaa... =X

Going to QV market tomorrow, to buy cheap vege!! haaa...sound like auntie eh? But i dont care.. =P

Haiz..tried to upload some photos here but it just cant work. Dont understand why. Is it because the file is too big and the connection is too slow? Causing a JAM in the network? Whatever!I guess you people can only view the photos on friendster =(

Its the first time today that i opened my blinds and view the outside senery. It made my room really bright and i feel like im staying in a hotel or something. The location is like living high up in a hotel just opposite esplanade, across the river, looking at the CDB buildings in Raffles place and Tanjong Pagar. All high-rise building surrounding me. At night, the view is fantastic! The building lights up with so many different colours. Nice.I would take a picture when winter's over, too cold for me to go out to the balcony.

I was so bored just now that i was searching for my uni block (i can see my school from my place), and see if there is any short cut that we can take. Too bad, none. It seems like there's an alley but its blocked half way. Sad.

Didnt do much things today, just had a project meeting downstairs with Xin Yi, Cher n Lijie, then another meeting with Cher. Thank goodness we stay together, so we can easily go to each other's apartment in pyjamas. Heh heh..no one cares!

The weather today seem pretty fine for now. Just hope that it wont decrease further later at night. Got to do my home work now. Hee..Tata!

Sky's dark again. Sickening. I just hope that day time is longer, so that i can enjoy more sunlight? Haa..i think im lacked of Vit D. I'm covered all over. Neck downwards. Only face is exposed. I wonder if face can absorb enough Vit D.

hmmm....mayb yes... because my face's surface area is big..heh heh.*craps*

Lesson ended early today, had more than half a day for myself. Had project meeting after lunch break, then i went down to QV (Queen Victoria) shopping centre to collect my photos. Walked back to ALDI supermart and found that the things there are cheap! Great! another place for marketing. Hee..

Came home, had lunch cooked by Cher,then online till now. Bored. Waiting for Sotong to come back from his training so he can msn with me but i think his training might take the whole day.

I'm so free tomorrow and Wednesday! no classes but i think i'm staying home. Dont know where to go, what to do. Sian!

I think my da yi ma is coming. I just feel like eating and eating! NONE STOP! i dont really feel full though i think that my rice was alot just now. Aiyo...

Sheesh.. my hands are freezing..... Washed my clothes, while waiting for the dryer, i might as well blog a little. I've did something so sinful again. I've bought stuffs!! I've bought a pair of boots tha cost $50!Its leather.. goodness, i just cant resist the temptation! *guilts*
But my sweet sis is paying for it anyway..heh heh =P

Andrew called me this morning on msn, Its nice to be in contact with him after so long.Its been years since we last met and contacted each other. I think it should be during poly days when i last saw him.

Went marketing, bought some strawberries and grapes. Soooo sweet...It just taste so different from SG. Great bargain i had as they were closing soon and wont be open till mon. Thats why they need to get all things sold by today.

Went to have my hot chocolate again!! Its such an enjoyable time when you can enjoy chocolate.. i love chocolates to bits! gotta control before my throat starts giving me problems.

Im happy as i saw another friend of mine! Joshua, a guy from TP's Engineering Studies Club i think. Ha...He's studying in Monash Uni, taking a double degree in Sports and some thing some thing, plus education. So if im not wrong, he would be a PE teacher or some sports instructor or maybe even higher post like HOD next time when he comes back. How come the people i know all so chim? He told me he is going canoeing. Then i was like canoeing in this weather???!! He said that is what his course is about. hmm.... He knows that i'm in RMIT also, in Mel, through friendster but he didnt expect to meet me on streets. haa... Its fated la, LOL

Hands freezing! cant take it liao..Got to collect my clothes now!

Goodness!! I just hate to go shopping in supermarts! I will come out buying tibits! I've bought a pack of m&m again, a pack of snickers, twix, Pods: snickers and a bag of chips (salt and Vinegar)... Help!!

Happy Birthday to Suhaidah!! Hee..hope you did enjoy your day! =)

Cute Candy shop caught my eye..Went in an Im hooked!

Look at the varieties!

"I love you" candies..
Nice right?? Very interesting process!! I felt stupid standing in front of the workers and watching them do the sweet and they even let us try!!

Believe it anot, the Yellow on the left use to be the one on the right! they actually pulled it against a hook for a few times and the colour changes!For the white, they pulled more times.. Every thing initially was like the yellow and purple on the right. Only 2 colours involved!

Making into a long long piece then cutting it into a few pieces then combining them. like how you make you tiao.

See the purple ones? its the exterior "skin"

Making the interior of the skin- White

See the different colours? Black is the seed, Yellow is the flesh, White is the interior of the skin and purple is the exterior!

Its so soft that they pull it from a big chunk

Its cut into strips like this. Finish product!! sorry, cant get a clearer picture of that. I asked if they do sell in strips like this, they say no as its too brittle. they do customise but the price is A$350 for the 13kg of sweet. Tooth decay coming up.

1745 now. Its raining so heavily..Thank goodness we came back slightly early if not we will be wet. The wind these days is so strong! i hate wind during winter, its so cold, and theres nothing you can do about it, another main thing, it makes my hair even more messy then it already is! KNS.

I finally know why my lappie keep shutting down. Its due to my webcam software!! I think its not Vista friendly yet, so i bought another one from microsoft which cost me $47. *heartache* But at least my Sotong can see me. My family also la. heee...

I hate to walk into the supermarkets here, i will tend to buy one or two things out! I cant resist the temptation..arghhh....But when i'm coming back, i will sure buy lots of tidbits! especially Pods: sinckers, jelly beans, and also krispy kreme doughnuts! The doughnut here is fantastic! much much better than those sold in Sg. Even the original taste sooooo nice.. It just melt in your mouth..*drools*

So cold, my hands are like so stiffed. Heee...tomorrow, im going to print alot of photos! its cheaper than SG, especially the wallet size ones. only $0.15 per piece. I print that size in SG is about $0.50. Lalala...

ITs already 8 plus and alot of friends finish work around this time. Sad..No one online.

First day at school was not so bad, the lecturer split all of us into groups and so no friends are to be together, gotta make new friends. I'm slightly glad that they do this so i could know more people. Theres 4 in a group, all from different countries. One's from Aussie but parents are from HK, one's from Japan and the other from Seychelles (i think thats how you spell it). Another good thing, we are having our next meeting tomorrow! Im happy that all of them are so motivated and are willing to do things fast! but of course, i will feel stress as all of them are from 3rd year and they sort of know each other already. Hope everything goes well =>

Just had dinner, Fried bee hoon by cher, not too bad, plus my chilli, lagi best! So happy that i brought my chilli here, but i can find them here too!Here like got everything!Oyster sauce, sesame oil, etc.. The beef here is cheap, but the other meats are slighltly more expensive.
I thought i could eat fruits here but the fruits are equally expensive! 1 kg of banana is like $6 plus? and 1 kg of cherries is $14 plus!! this is nuts..i rather not eat these fruits. Even blueberries are expensive.

Gotta wash my container now, fill it up with more food for tomorrow's lunch or dinner. Whatever la..

I am so happy that school starts tomorrow. At least i've got something to do as im getting really really bored. The night is so early, the sky turns dark so fast. ITs around 830 my side, and it seems like 10 plus as the sky darkens at about 5 plus? Goodness, i'm gettin really really bored. In Sg at this time, i'm with my Sotong,having dinner or walking around, or even stay home together and play games.

Always feel so lonely at night over here.Im really bored to death. Yea,i've got some little stuffs to do but my hands are freezingly cold that i cant even type properly. I dont have the mood to do anything but to dream that im back in SG with my Sotong. Haiz...Hope tonight pass by real fast.

I met up with Xuguang again today,we had Mee Kong for lunch and then he came over to my place to help me install my office, and then he went home.So i am home the whole day, dont know what i can do or what i should do. CAme online a few times but i dont see anyone to talk to. Its only 6 plus in SG!!

I just cant wait for school to start!!! i wanna know more people!! i wanna do more stuffs! Im bored..
help!!

ITs another cold cold night, me sitting in the cold, typing my blog. i wish that im in Singapore now, i miss the hot weather there, here is too much air con for me. Its too terrible.

I happen to see Jeremy today,he's my drum major during my sec 1 times. He's a cute guy, where lots of girls at my age that time will go ga-ga over him. Only thing is that he's short, other than that, he's cute. haaa... He's 4 years my senior, and now he's studying his PhD in Neuropsychology. Chim eh? Neuropsychology is a wow to me, PhD in that, double WOW. Too chim for me.Its too much of science. Sughim, another friend i met up before she went back to Sg, she also studies another chim program. BSc in Genetics and biochemistry. Biochem is interesting but its a headache if i were to study that and memorising all these chim-a-logy stuffs. i will come back with all white hair.

Im home sick, or rather i miss my sotong more than anythign else. =<

Not a very good start before my school term. Hope everything goes well at least after a semester.

Hmm..would be taking up modules like Quality Assurance for Industry, Product Development, a Science Project which im not sure what is it about and a elective. I'm taking up Confectionery Technology. Since im here, might as well take up an elective which is related to my course.

My school is not as what i expected, not like those normal campuses like NUS or NTU. Its a city campus, more like SMU.

Met up with XuGuang today, he's really nice, bringing me and Cher to places like Melbourne Central, China Town for SiChuan food, its spicy but not as spicy as we thought. and its nice!
He also brought us for chocolate fondue and hot chocolate. Its all so nice.. its call the Chocolate Bar and guess what? they make chocolate in there! Its a nice place to sit and enjoy.

Before we went home, Cher and i went to our uni to make phone calls back home.haaa..Better than standing outside at the public phone under the rain and with the wind blowing at us, making us freeze..

Its another cold night,2 more days before school starts..haaa

Im in Melbourne! well, my flight was yesterday morning. Reached Mel at about 6 am, reached my hostel at about 7 and waited till 8 plus to check into our hostel.

It is really realy cold now. Im not sure what is the temperature but i can only say its really cold. Like freezing.woke up in the middle of the night and start to wear everything and cover myself with the blanket.wearing 2 slacks, dunno how many layer of clothes but it still feels so cold. Terrible.

I had internet since last night but was too busy talking to Sotong and msning so din bother to type a post. heee...

Having enrolment tommorow morning.got to sleep early and wake up. The time for my post is still in Singapore time. haaa..so just add 2 hours ahead and that the time over here when im typing.

My last post in SG till a year later..heee

Am flying off in about 5hrs 45 mins.. Feelings: sacred, excited, sad.

Just cant bear to leave my Sotong, friends and family here.. yaya, i know its a year only but to me, a year is quite long, especially when you are "alone" there. THere's no place better then your own home, with my mattress and pillow!

Thanks for to all of you who gave me cards and gifts, really appreciate it alot =>
really touched *sniff sniff*

i will up load the pics later..heh heh..

Advance thanks for those who helped me out with my packing of lugguage though i got thousands and thouands of reason to bring all the stuffs i brought, thanks to those who are sending me off later..

Am Feeling so lucky having you people around me! heee =>

Got a new skin!!!
Thanks Heiki for helpineg me out with it ;)

I thought i could sleep for a few days till shiok, but it seems like i cant. Its wed already and i haven pack my stuffs yet. I dont really feel the rush or anything, sometimes i cant believe im really going this time. It has been my dream to go overseas to study, experience the life there, get a degree, come back and have a higher pay job to pay for my loan and give my parents a better life.



Though my mum has been a housewife since she married my dad, i think its about time for her to rest and enjoy her channel 8 serials without any distrubance.

PLanning to get a part time maid to do every household chores and all my mum need is to cook.i dont really trust maid in cooking.



Hope i can find a job when im back here,save as much as i could, and sponsor my parents to come over in Dec to attend my grad ceremony with me, at the same time tour around Mel and my dad's favourite place: Adelaide.



These are all wishlist, i really wish all these could be done! gonna work towards it!! =>

Was bored and trying to think of words to type into Wikipedia. Hello kitty came to my mind..
and it link me to Hello Kitty Hell.
I think you should take a look. Its really interesting and some of the products are really cute even if you dont find Hello Kitty cute.
I mean, Japan Sanrio is really making lots of money!

Heh heh...i've bought the epilator! I've always wanted one but i dont dare to buy it cause of the pain. My colleague actually bought one during the weekends and i tried it when she brought it to work (i ask her to bring de la..heee)

Its not as painful as i thought!I tried it on one of my finger's hair. So fancinating but scary when hearing the sound. Its like many many tweezers plucking out your hair at the same time. Above is the model i bought. To bad it isnt pink =P

I've just tried it, its pain but can tahan that type. At least it does have those massager thingy which sort of relieve the pain?

anyway, Im happy la..heh heh =>

Just came back from a little outing with Huiqi and Sue, and of course my sotong la. WEnt to VIVO to have dinner at a restaruant call "2 HOT". Weird name.. ANyway, the food wasnt fantastic. Haa.. Had spicy seafood spagetthi with chilli padi, it was hot and spicy as it claims but the taste wasnt very nice.

Had Ben's and Jerry after dinner *slurps*

Am so excited to leave for Aust, am leaving on the 9th of july at 1945.

Mixed feelings..

I think im going nuts,all the things i look (and sometimes buy) now are all pink. Im not in love with pink but i somehow feel that the clothes, bags etc.. look nice in pink? Its usually those sweet baby pink with some white here and there..

My lappie is pink


PS: S.Huiqi, here are the specs

My camera is pink

Bought a Nintendo DS lite lately. No, i didnt buy pink, i bought white..

ITs white with this pink casing..heh heh

And i exchanged with my colleague a pink stylus too!So meaning the interior is white but from outside is pink plus white. Does it sound like "Hello Kitty" ?

Went shopping and these are some of the things i bought.

Sotong bought this watch for me..hee..

Pink pink and pink. Even my luggage is pink! so is my back pack. haa...

Its PINKY & the BRAIN, PINKY & the BRAIN, one is a genius, the other's insane, the laboratory mice, whose genes cant be splice, its PINKY, its PINKY, its PINKY & the BRAIN (X8), Na na na na na...NAF!!
