Home is where the heart is ..

After reading Zoe's blog, saying that she misses home .. actually all of us do =)

i miss home too.. i miss messing around, being a clown, i miss just being home.. where i dont usually come back to a place where it is rather cold and less warmth..

it feels alot better actually being able to just talk with everyone there rather than through a webcam.. and come December i'll be able to do that again.. =) mess around and be a clown at home :P


p.s: a message to my dearest granddaddy =) get well soon!!!~~~ we love you tonnes tonnes tonnes!~ :P

Sigh~

I realised it's not easy mastering the art of staring-at-four-walls every night, or even speaking thoughts to myself or even just bumming around alone. I guess these are the days that i dread coming to me..

The days that there's nothing much to look forward to other than the same old lectures and tutorials. The group that i used to hang out with, everyday was just filled with laughter. Even though we run our own lifes but there would still be someone or something to look forward to...Suddenly now everything is dimmed down and what makes it harder is that i not only know these days are here to stay for the next 13 weeks, i also don't feel like opening to others much other than those i've known previously. I definitely hope that the motivation that drives me doing better and better every semester also dont die down on me.. Sigh..

I always try to smile to brighten one's day, and someone once told me dont force to smile but smile because i feel like it. Now a smile is only there when it's necesary.

Worries are filling up within, over issues that i dont want to mention. There's nothing i could do, crying wouldn't help either, other than just try and keep on trying .. ..

Some would say: "why not talk to your boyfriend?? they're always a plan B to everything else..."

but i dont want him to be a plan B and there should be no reason to throw all my worries and self-inflicted depression to him .. let's just say it's not fair! I tried but it made both of us unhappy too..

to make things worse, people around me arent' very optimistic too .. there are not many happy vibes everywhere..

SIGH~

i hope 13 weeks ends quick and the sun in my "world" would shine much brighter than today..

It's been a week..

A week since my boyfriend went back to Sydney.. alot has been going on. I miss Dearie and he's sick :( .. sigh.... can't be there.. but GET WELL SOON k!!~ *love* and i also miss Fang Fang.. no more cold jokes ady..sigh... wish u well too =)

it has been pretty busy over here, and sara was here till yesterday bunking over until she got a place to stay.

Other than that, i've also signed up for the gym, trying to fit gym-ing into my schedule as often as i can.
Hopefully working out will help me maintain my weight rather than making me more hungry. :P and the other thing i've done this pass few days was going to job-hunting. Although, as easy as looking for a part time job sounds, it's definitely not easy to get one here, according to Owee, it takes them a few weeks before they get back to you whether you've gotten the jobs. So far, i've handed in about 7 resumes i think.. hmm and although transport might be a problem after i've gotten any of those jobs, but whatever it is, it could be solved later :P

The reason why i want to try look for a job is because i'm currently only taking three subjects this semester and i have a long weekend, so i guess if i'm able to get a job, and if the job comes along, i will want to give it a try. Instead of just saying that i would look for one, putting it into action is harder than saying it. However, Owee and Hong Ying has made this process simpler for me as they're also looking for jobs. Thank you!~

Other than job hunting, obviously i've got classes, this semester, it's so hard to settle on what subjects to take. I think it's because, first of all, i've got no one to take it with or it clashes with their timetable, second of all, it's all electives, and third, the subjects i wanted to take is not offered.. often as it seems, it is VERY FRUSTRATING. Oh well, i've decided to give Marketing a go this time, hopefully it doesn't give me too much trouble as it is not my field.. and if so happened i do get into trouble.. ***MAK WAE LERN**** " do my assignment!~" lolz.. it's his field..

Well i see everybody is also having their routines running for the semester.. wish everyone luck, and myself too..
and to those who are crazily job hunting.. all the best =)

till then~~ love

a weekend..=)

It's been a while since i've properly gone out with the girls and had fun and also my MUFY friends.. it's good to get together and just catch up..
Sze Chuan, with Faith, Zoe and Owee..due the our hunger pangs.. we ordered alot alot alot of food...

at the train station, i was so hungry that i said i wished i could fly.. Zoe corrected me :P teleport faster :Parriving at the restaurant, Zoe was given two pairs of chopsticks..so since she has nothign to do with it .. she did this.. ke ai little miaothen food came...:P start drooling people!~ :Pso much food for just the four of us!~ yum yum :P we were so full after that it was funny goign bcak home.. we challenged Zoe to walk from one end of the train to the other and she did !!!~ lol good fun

Then during the weekend, Ben came over from Gippsland, we went out to Glen Waverly for lunch and then in the evening we met a bunch of MUFY-ians for dinner.. it's been a while since we gathered.. i think the group was sort of split into two cuz the girls was busy chit-chatting in one corner and the guys are on the other..lolz

However, getting to South Yarra that night was a little frustrating cuz we took all in all about an hour to just get to South Yarra.. bah~ but we still had fun =)and at dinner, there's all of us.. see how we are at one corner and the guys are at the other ??? hehehe.. but it was still good fun!~ After dinner a few of us came back to my place to "build bridge" for a while before we called it a night.. =) Ben found it frustrating to learn.. haha and he gave up after knowing how the game goes..

It was a good weekend, and now it's back to serious work =)

Till then.. love~

After the 15 days...

It was the last day of his trip, and as usual, every time when this day comes.. it becomes an emo day..

On the 15th of July, i had class, so i woke up in the morning, got ready for class and we had breakfast together, he was going to pack up while i was going to class then after that meet me in uni to head for lunch.

I brought him to a small lane where he had never been before in Melbourne. It's called the DeGraves St., a small lane with plenty of cafes.. very unique =) the restaurant's called Andiamo.here in this pic, his Mochahere in my pic, i was having the Tiramisu Latte.The garlic pizza.. YUM YUMand a Beef Burger with the lot... yum~

after lunch, we took a stroll on the streets of Melbourne and headed to Big W to buy his toner, so that he remembers to put it on even when he's back in Sydney =)


Thereafter, we headed back home about 4 something as he still has to pack and then head to the bus station to catch a 6.05pm bus ride to the airport. *emo emo emo*

The last picture we took during this trip =)


After sending him off, obviously emo, but thankfully my bro and seing wan was there and we headed for dinner and we cheered up with a couple of candies and hot chocolates =)

Although now we're apart once again, but i'll see u very soon and in the mean time like i always say, we have our goals to achieve =)

Love you loads~

Even Fredo's but we didn't take any photos of us having fredo's but i so happened took a few pictures of us "bubble-tea-ing" :P and of course.. since he's here, how to resist not asking him to be my "kuli" again for the day.. lolz.. therefore we went ikea..

The "Anniversary" days =)

Since we both were together, we've not been with each other on the special dates.. This time around, he came just at the right time.. so we've had our mini celebration.. so mini that no-one else knows.. :P lolz like this.. after a long walk along southbank and crown.. on the way back and when the clock strike 12 am =)i've got a gift :P
and on that day, when we were out getting souvenirs at Chaddy.. he bought this :Pyum yum koko black chocolate lollipop..
and there he thought i would save it and not eat it.. and to his surprise i fed both of us with that chocolate and finished while waiting for the bus :P

Although, we've not made any promises on where this is heading, but there's one thing for sure that we know we want to go a long way =)
