First pay

Today is the 4th shift i've had since i got my part time job. I've also gotten my first pay today. Although it's nothing compared to any other jobs that pays much higher, i've only gotten about AUD116 for the hours i've worked so far. But it feels good to be able to accept your first pay through effort.

My day today was the usual mondays i've had so far. But it was good to meet up with hong ying and owee after that to just catch up. We've been out for hours sitting at the same spot just chatting. It's been a while since we're pretty much occupied with our own schedules.

My days lately are not exactly sunny and bright all the time but to the very least, it is picking itself up now =)

Quoting my mum. Let's hope the sun shines brightly and shall not rain otherwise there's no way i'll be able to survive on my own here.

To those who are searching for answers and are still searching, all the best!
To those who have found answers, hold on to them otherwise they'll just leave..

love loads

... till then =) ciao

I shall proof myself worthy of being independent and strong.

break record~~

so long never cut hair... of course break record lor :P

hahahaha i've never had such long hair before.. better embrace it before i get stress and chop it all off.. haha

So~~~ under the weather..

It's been a few days that i've fell sick and saw the doctor.. was down with fever and infection, been having terrible headaches for days.. currently on anti-biotics.. gyn gyn is tai peng mao.. hehe..

but it's all good now.. i've gotten my rest and i woke up this mornign feeling much better than yesterday.. i better be.. it's been day 5 already since i got sick.. hehehe..

anyway, i felt like blogging this morning, talking about nothing.. hehe.. i only slept at 4 something this morning, no idea why was awake till so late, i was definitely not caffeine induced but i was still wide awake till 4 in the morning.. why can't i stay up this long without caffeine doing my assignments.. but anyway, i later realised that lying in bed feeling awake and just not going to bed, i'll just feel sick the next morning..

I woke up this morning, i was feeling much better..hopefully the headache dont come hunt me down again.. me no like headaches!~ this morning, i had a strange feeling that i was waking up to my room back home. Had this strangest feeling that i was looking forward for Sunday brunches with family and also just being able to see them this morning. It's a very strange but comfortable feeling, i've never felt that way since i came here. I suspect it was the late nite before or the bed sheets that i changed yesterday.. :P

then when i was really awake, reality check.. i am still in Melbourne, there wouldn't be family brunches nor good mornings from home. Though i knew it was just me, i had this feeling of disappointment too.. i guess i miss home..

Miss home the most especially when i'm sick. Being sick in Melbourne, i still got to think of wat's the next meal, can't fall sick too long, have got work and assignments to complete, laundry and grocerries, the worse of all, i've got to walk (when i'm already so under the weather) to see the doctor, by the time i got to the clinic, even the receptionist could tell that i'm sick.

Where's mummy when u need her? ( mum, it's just an expression, i know you read the blog so dont worry now, i'm fine.. i did mentioned i was feeling loads better)

I really can't wait for time to pass faster, let stress come quick and leave quicker too... i want to be home again!~ missssssssssssssss home~

To you with gratitude =)


Last night, i've gotten a second early birthday gift from my very dear friend Owee. After seeing the amount of effort that is given to this gift and the very memorable words and messages.. i was very touch. THank you very much.


Even though my b'day is still a long time to come, but because she thinks that this would be good to brighten up my moods.. it's only fair to give me soon..

Every piece of it has a very meaningful message in them.. represented with many happy memories and many ups and downs we shared..

I know things have also been down with you lately, thank you for doing this for me. I'm very grateful that you've walked into my life when i came to melbourne, leaving footsteps in my life. Although now we dont see each other as often as we used to. I wish you well, hope that your TR application, ur job hunting and everything else in your life will fall into place soon.

Although u've said that i've always been there for you, and i've lifted u thru your down times and shared your happy times.. i hope you dont forget that it also works the other way. where you 're there for me when i'm down and shared my happy times.. Without you still being here, i'd most probably gone crazy by now =) love you loads babe.. may there be more happy memories to come where we could share it together, hopefully this wouldnt' end if u do happen to go back to m'sia. No matter where you are, what you would strive for in the future, i wish you well and i would still be there =)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. i'm very grateful and appreciate this gift very much.

An update~

After a long and slumber weekend, it's time to get back to the momentum of studies, and assignments so that i wont' be left behind later on. I've been telling myself alot of time already that i should start doing some sort of work, but evertime when i stare at the calender and realise i still have more than a month to complete these assigments i'll just sit and stare.. lolz

In a while, i'll be heading to the city for my part time .. would most probably come back and try doing some sort of work.. :P

What a lazy weekend i've had... it's been nothing but sitting around and just let time pass...

I love letting time pass, and soon i'll be heading home :P yay~

as yesterday i've chatted with my girlfriends back home..

quoting sara " I miss female companionship"..

lolz.. it's been so long .. this is the first time that i'm here in Australia throughout the whole year.. really miss hanging out with the ji muis... the yum-cha's, the chit-chats, the hang-outs, the gossips.. and everything else that comes with it...

oh and also not forgeting the MUFY gang's laughing session.. bah~ i'm deprived !~ =)

It's ok. i shall let these accumulate itself and go home and have a blast.. :P by that time, i most probably be neglecting my bf.. lolz...aiks..:P

got to go.. have a great day everybody.. i'm sure i will =)

Love you tonnes

Thank you.. love loads


R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Respect. What does this word means?

I dont really know what does it means as i never really own that word before.

Disappointment. What does this word means?

I know this word very well. It visits me very often nowadays.

it comes so often that i'm beginning to feel sick of it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you're never wrong, things has always been unfair to you, things always don't go your way

what makes you think, things has been fair to me? what makes you think things go my way everytime? what makes you think i'm fine everytime when i'm actually not?

have u ever tried to think in my shoes instead of standing by your own thoughts all the time?

sitting down and ask me to shut up it's not a solution to what you think i'm wrong and what you think it's justice to me.

i've given you the word "r.e.s.p.e.c.t" more than you could ever ask for, have you given me those in particularly with considerable thoughts ?

A surprise!~

Greco's on saturday night.. a well spent time with friends after a long week..
A well planned Saturday at the gym, at uni and ending it with a girl's night out with coffee and cakes was a recipe to a good day until ... someone made a surprise visit from Sydney!~On Friday night, someone said that i will smile on Saturday and i will have a great time on Sunday because it's a weekend and i should be having some fun instead of burrying myself in assignments...

I then thought it was just a way that he could make me feel better because he wasn't here in Melbourne to be my punch bag all the time..

then that night i came back to him in my apartment.. he came out from my room... although my brother said that my reaction was way smaller compared to him and his gf, i was definitely glad to find him here...

It only really hit me on sunday morning the fact that i woke up to seeing him in the morning. So definitely, he promised that i would smile on saturday night, i did; he promised that i would have a great sunday, i did.

We went to Springvale and did some marketing, bought some groceries for the week..hehe and of course, he was my "kuli" for the day..After poor baby was my "kuli" for the day, the rest of the days were pak toh-ing days..
De tour a while: I got a job guys!~ not much, just working at a sushi restaurant, waitressing, but it's good for now.. and it was sweet that on my first day of work i had someone waiting for me to finish work =) and after work i had someone to have lunch with me, and had home cook dinner that night.. ** though i was the one working, he was the one who was all snoring that night.. bah!~ **:P

ok, back to the pak toh-ing days.. then it was his favourite Sze Chuan restaurant in Melbourne..

Then we also went for a movie after dinner, we watched the X files.. after so many years it still gives me the fright.. ( i think it's just me)


Yesterday, after class, when we were at Safeway getting groceries, he said he wanted to have cheesecake, so we made blueberry cheesecake =)

Yum~ and after making cheesecake and having dinner, we watched a movie at home and just talked for hours .. It's nice to be able to talk for hours like as though time was on our side.. he came all the way from sydney because he was worried that i was too much alone and often tiring myself everyday just to pass days by... today, after class, we just spent more time talking before we had to head to the city sending him off to catch his bus to the airport. Before we head to Southern Cross Stn, he had a favor to ask.. =) and that is to drop by at Koko Black before he goes back to Sydney.His favourite, iced Chocolate.. and we tried out the Belgian Spoil =) it was all so CHOCOLATEY!~~Sending him off this time around, was easier because i know he would be here again soon and i'm also sort of used to it seeing him getting on the bus =) it was sweet of Owee and my brother to accompany me at the station, afraid that i will become emo..


**Dear, once again, thank you for bringing such a great surprise and i really appreciate it very much. Thank you!~ It has lifted my mood and i'm sure we will accomplished what we've talked about for days here. Love you tonnes **

Something to share...

Something happened on Thursday night that i still laughed now while thinking about it... Here it goes..

On Thursday morning, my brother with his gf and i decided that we shall not cook for dinner and we shall indulge in the long-missed Pinky's pizza and ribs.. yum yum.. however, in order to do that we would have to have dinner slightly later because Seing Wan has class till 8.

so on that day, after i finished classes about 430 pm, i decided to stay back in uni to do some readings as i've not done any and don't want to waste much time cramping up till the end of the semester.. and it would be a plus to stay in uni cuz Lern is in the library too doing his work.

So i was all geared up to cover as much as i can within those few hours until Seing Wan finish class.

At 740pm, she walked back into the library.. huurrraaaayyy she finished class early. So then we head back to her place so that she could shower before coming to our place. We also had this brilliant idea that it would be just nice that we order pizza before leaving her place and it would be delivered by the time we reach home.

Back to Seing Wan's place, she happened to be staying in the room that i first stayed in melbourne =) I was there , just rekindling happy memories.. i miss the days in Malvern Mews even though it was after all .. fattening days.. lolz

Roughly at about 830pm, before leaving Seing Wan's place, we wanted to call Pinky's...

Lern: ok Jie, call Pinky's then reach home ngam ngam ady...

Me: you call lar.. why i call, u order lar.. i let u use my phone.. everytime also i call

Lern: ....... *shrugs* fine. i call, wat you guys want?

Seing wan and I : anything lo, we dont mind.. what do u want to have?

Lern: mmm let's order Pepperoni and ribs combo then go Safeway and buy drinks..

seing wan and I: ok

Lern: Jie.. wat's Pinky's number?

*me handing over my phone*
Me: 03 ********

*calling and on the phone*
Lern: AIYO.. IS IT OPEN?? WHY THEY NOT PICKING UP????

Lern:..... PICK UP D DAMN PHONE!!!!~ *making funny faces*

* i was just talking to seing wan, then playing with my hair, then staring at the mirror in the room *

About 7 minutes later... (lern still on the phone, trying to make someone pick up the phone, already getting annoyed) something came to my senses...

Me: WAIT !~ that's not the number, it's our home phone....

everybody in the room BURST OUT LAUGHING....

Lern: *making stupid face* and i've been calling home?! No wonder no one pick up the phone... now house phone got dont know how many miss calls already!~ WHY you so smart wan??

Seing wan: * laughing* wah and there i thought u so geng can remember Pinky's number...

i changed the number and lern called pinky's

We then finally made our order after don't know how many minutes before heading home...

Funny???

hehe.. imagine lern's face.. u'll DEFINITELY find it funny =)
