Random thoughts

Wow! I've been abandoning this blog for a year or so. It's crazy that I've manage to make my way back here to blog. I guess I've just lost my mojo to blog. Everything has changed. The way I write, the way that I convey my messages.. It feels like I've grown so much because I'm constantly required to write standard academic articles for my assignments... To the extent that I don't even remember how to write a light, fun post anymore. :(


I miss blogging. Maybe I should get back to my daily blogging routine.


*On a side note* It's kinda sad to see that my blog isn't going anywhere. I mean many people have been so successful in the blogsphere. I guess I'm just not as good... lols!



Actually, I've got a major assignment due this week and I haven't even started it. FML. The more I'm confused, the more I don't feel like looking at it, and the more I'm not starting to work on it and it goes on and on.. I should start now. byes!

my walk back home

I'm finally home! What a relief.

It was indeed THE scariest walk back home (to where I'm staying) from the city. William and I decided to walk back home at around 3.10am since we missed the free shuttle. I was like: "ok! Since someone else is walking with me, why not?"

It was a rather chilly "night" (in this case early morning). We walked passed Rundle Mall, then Rundle street. No one was in sight. Oh wells, we continue walking and walking and finally we reached the edge of Rundle street. and this was where all the pain began. Personally, I don't really like the idea to walk along the parks during the night. (I've tried walking in the park to reach the city @ 7-ish pm before, but NOT 3 in the morning.)  We have to "overcome" two freaking parks before we can reach home, and that's not all, we still have to walk along a couple of gloomy streets before we FINALLY reach home.

So, as we were crossing the road to the park, the wind got stronger. (I went home and checked the wind speed was 40km/hr, YES! THAT strong!) The wind howled as the trees swayed with the wind. Back and forth, back and forth. Being superstition (as always), I tried to stay focus and not looking around. Well, in case of..... So, as you can imagine, there's tones of trees in the park and all of them howled at the same time, that's pretty scary. (well, at least for me) Instead of walking IN the park, we walked along the edges of the park.Then suddenly, I heard a sound, like someone is pressing the I-want-to-cross-the-road-button furiously and aggressively at the other end of the street. But, when I looked back there's NO ONE. I kept hearing the sound. But, I told myself not to look back anymore. I'm not the only one who heard the sound. William heard it too, because he kept on turning back but I just kept really quiet. I told myself that maybe the traffic light was spoiled and that I should just continue to walk quickly back home. By this time, the wind was almost choking me to death. It was so strong that I could hardly breathe in and walk properly. lol! sounds so dramatic but yeah, it's true case. Then, I figured out a way to "escape" from walking passed the 2nd park by taking another route. How smart was I!

I don't know about you, but whenever I saw a person on the street, I was relieved. But, at the same time, was a little bit afraid. (ah, the irony!) Because (a) There's SOMEONE! (b)The person might rob you or something. :) After walking passed a couple of shops, it's time to walk the tedious main road before we can reach the round-a-bout. So, I din't really manage to "escape" the 2nd park after all. I still had to walk the stupid edges of the park to get to the round-a-bout. Both sides of the main road were pitch black parks. Really scary. The wind got even stronger this time. A lot of branches and twigs on the floor that almost tripped us a couple of times. It was so tedious and scary that I felt like breaking down to cry. Both of us couldn't walked properly cause we were fighting against the strong wind. again, so freaking dramatic, but true case. It took us forever to reach the round-a-bout. I saw in front of us was a mini sand-storm. (we haven't reach that area yet) I was like: "omg! How do we even make it? We should've taken the bloody taxi." I was really frustrated at myself.  I was praying hard that we can reach home safely. I don't know why but I have this sudden thought that William might turned into a zombie and catch me.

Then suddenly, a car drove passed us. I was talking to William and said how nice if the car can send us back home. But, the car was already gone. *hopes shattered* but miraculously, the car made a U turn back. I was hoping that the person really was coming to help us or what not. But, i din't lift my hopes up high. But, they were!!!! I was elated. Really. The couple sent us back home and I was really relieved. This might be a sign that God has answered my prayers. I'm so thankful. :)

Next time, I won't be walking back home at this hour. Well, at least not on a windy day. Oh and while I was walking back home, it dawned on me that I really have to get a car asap.

okay that's all. It may sound meh, not it was scary. at least for me.

Easter break 2011

Ahhh~ What can I say more? warm bath on a chilly winter night..... rejuvenates your soul and makes you smell nice at the same time. :D

Okay. Let's get down to a proper blog entry. Since it's easter break, there will be lots of activities to blog about, hopefully. *fingers crossed*

So, last Friday was THE official day of our easter break. Bruno Mars was sooo nice 'cause he dropped by to celebrate our semester break with us. hahaha! *dream on, Nicole* nah~ he was here for his tour. Sadly, I din't manage to attend tho. But, here you go. A decent picture of Bruno Mars. (borrowed from Eugenie)
chicken wing! :)

While the others were being squashed and tossed around, just to listen to him live, I was Youtube-ing him on my comfy bed. I even done my manicure. So, It was all good. Cute right? I know. haha!
Tadah! My easter-theme manicure! <3



Okay. Due to internet quota restraints, I've to stop here. WILL blog about my first Eggless trip very soon. xoxo

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Oh come on heater. If you haven't notice, your owner is gonna freeze to death soon. QUIT thermostatting for god sake. :(


ahhh.. i can sense Bruno Mars presence. 

Sorry B, not gonna see you tomorrow. :(

2011

Sorry guys, haven't been spending much time to blog. Mainly because I'm "busy" a.k.a. lazy and at the same time 'm running short of ideas on what to blog. Anyways, I haven't been doing any exceptional or intriguing activities. Oh! Wait a second, I just realised that there's dark purplish white spots on my arms.... OMG! The evil moss are invading my armsss.... ARGH!!!!

Okay. Time to quit the drama. I have perfectly fine arms. *inside joke :D*


*take a deep breathe*

There's this video clip circulating around Facebook regarding a dog abuse last Friday. Man, if you haven't take a look at the video, then you should go and VIEW now.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWRtZM2fbAc

So, this cute lil toy poodle named Sushi was "trained" to stand on it's hind leg by his owner. Trained? more like forced to do so and if Sushi failed to do so, he will get punched/kicked/slapped on his face by his owner. Literally! No kidding. I mean, seriously?! Do you really need to hit your dog like that? Then, what's the point of paying so much money to groom your dog? Look at Sushi, so well groomed. You can see that Sushi was petrified whenever his owner lifted his hand up. The abusing lasted for as long as 15 minutes. I felt so sick after watching the video. I wondered where did he get the guts to hit his dog sooooo hard. I wouldn't do that to my dog. And the worse part was his girlfriend (the one who filmed the video) didn't stop him from abusing Sushi. What is wrong with you guys????

Anyway, I don't want to comment more about these inhumane people 'cause the people on Facebook were already cursing and scolding the hell out of  them. Three words : serve you right. (i guess?)  You should give me your dog instead. I would pamper him just like I do with my lil dogs. :)


*switch topic*

And for my 2011 hopes and resolutions:
(since it's still January. Better late then never, right?)
1. Hope that my family and I will be bless with health and wealth.
2. Work harder for Uni. That's a must!
3. Spend some time exercising. I've got to admit that I've been living in such an unhealthy lifestyle for years now. :(
4. Keep on improving to be a much better daughter, friend, stranger and person.

Till then. May 2011 be better than 2010. and same goes to you guys out there.

Ciao.

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas everyone! 
No white Christmas for me but it's still as awesome! :)
My favourite festive season!

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

I just came across this awesome picture. It would be lovely if I could go to France one day. :) Oh oh! and Maldive. That's a MUST! ♥ 






Christmas party @ Auntie Helen's is approaching soon! Can't wait!

はらじゅくのcrepesはおいしいですよ。

The other day I went to eat Harajuku crepes after lunch. All I could say was とても おいしいですね。It was superb! *grins* They should open some in Australia. Seriously!  

TADAHHHH!


a range of different flavours!
A massive Harajuku map behind us
 Last but not least, a picture of my yummy-licious crepe!

Can't remember what did I ordered.
But there's kiwi fruit and strawberries, whipped cream and vanilla ice-cream in it.
I give it a 4.5/5.
The strawberries were sour, hence, minus 0.5 marks. :)

Sleep talking??

I know it has been quite awhile since I last updated my blog.Sorry. I was not in a mood to blog. too emo. anywayss...

First question: Have you ever heard someone sleep talking before? Yes / No? 

Second question: Have you ever try to reply that person who is sleep talking? Yes / No?

For me, Yes! My sister always sleep talk when she sleeps. LOL! :D and Yes! I am lame enough to reply her.

and I found out something sooooo amazing! You know what? You can actually create an awesome conversation with someone who is sleep talking! no way?! YES WAY! Not kidding. Go try it!!! But remember! You mustn't wake that person up, or else you will ruin everything! 

Here's my little conversation with sleep talking sis:

(In this entire conversation, my sister was sleep talking all the way. Whereas, me? I'm absolutely awake!)

sis: Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie~
me: yesss?
sis: *leaned closer to me* I tell you...... something deep inside......... 
(I can't really remember what did she said. But, it was all random, non-logical stuff)
me: oohhhh! and then? *pretending to understand*
sis: theree......  blah blah blah (more random stuff!!!)
me: oohhhh!
sis: where's the tissue?
me: over there!!!!
sis: *raise her hand to grab the tissue*
me: *gave her an invisible tissue*

I tried soooo hard not to laugh at that time! hahaha! I bet she can't remember a thing by tomorrow. :)

hmm.. I guess nothing much to update. Oh ya!I went to KL the other day. Christmas decos are out! OMG! I'm so in love with 1 Utama's decoration! The best, I would say!!!! It's like a little tiny village. There's a frozen lake in the middle of the village and the village is jammed pack with people. A wooden bridge was "build" across the frozen lake. There's lots of small stalls and cottages, just like the one's we see in story books! There's even smoke coming out from the chimneys! Alas, I din't really get to snap some decent photos because the camera's battery went flat! Tsk tsk tsk!

My first ever blood test


Today I went to take blood test in a hospital for the very first time. This blood test means quite a big deal to me. As you know, I'm very scared of needles. not just any other needles! The ones which penetrates through your epithelial cells and you can just enjoying the feeling of the blood oozing out from your veins. eewwww! Sorry to say that, but I'm not a fan of needles. :( Nonetheless, I have to do it because I have some family history of Thalassemia. Not a good thing at all. Anyway, I'm not going to elaborate more on that.

I have been hearing from different people about their blood test experience. And surprise, surprise! None of them seems to be painless. Every one just complained about how bad it hurts, how inexperience the nurses were. So, I freaked out! Was in fact planning a perfect way to escape this. Obviously, I failed badly.

Mom brought me to the hospital early in the morning. My heart was beating like crazy as we walked down to the laboratory. I followed nervously behind my mom. As we went into the lab, my mom squeaked so loudly that I thought the nurse looked really horrible. So, it turned out that the nurse was my mom's friend. So, the nurse called me to go into a small room.

Nurse: Girl, come and sit here.
Me: *Monologue: Shit!* 
Nurse: Girl, not painful one, kay? I promise, sure not painful. Come.
Me: *Still standing outside the door. Not moving*
Nurse: Come and sit here. I use a baby needle for you. Not painful one. *Smile*
Me: *walk to the chair and sit*
Nurse: Okay. Girl, you follow what I ask you to do.
Me: *nod head. Neither looking at her nor the syringe*
Nurse: Okay. Take a deep breathe and then let go.
Me: *followed obediently*


after few minutes later,


Nurse: Okay done! Girl, hold the cotton wool. I help you to put plaster.
Me: ????

Wow! It was painless. Not kidding! I can't even feel the needle poking into my veins. I like her!!! She's so awesome. I hopped down from the chair happily. But, the wound got a little painful when I lifted my hand. Overall, it's tolerable. Now the only thing to worry is the results. :(

After the blood test, we went to eat cendol. Yum Yum!


p.s. the post is one day behind.

A day to the great granny's!

So, we went uptown to KK to visit my great granny. She's 92 this year and still going strong. God bless! :) We lingered there for several hours. Eating, chatting, more eating, watching telly and etc. The adults do the chatting, while me.. well.. nothing much. There were 7 little babies/children in the house. Just imagine how noisy it can be. But, hey! it was great cause it's been quite some time I spend time with little toddlers since all my other cousins were already all grown up. In fact, it's better than my typical annual Chinese New Year. and there's this little girl who is my mother's cousin's daughter (which is my somewhat distant cousin). I tell you. I fell in  with her cuteness. *SCREAMS* I die every time she smiled at me. Too bad she prefers to play with the other kids in the house and not me. Sigh!

This is my cute cousin! My favourite among the others!!

in fact, she looks like my sister when she was little. 

my sister on the left. And on the right, well, a not so attractive kid. 
She looks like a duplication of my sister when she's younger,right?! The hair, the nose, everything! Maybe that's the reason why I like my sister when she's little. Only because she's cute. nah! just kidding. Don't be sad, sis! (if you are reading this, you are still cute as ever... err.. in a different way! :D)

(oh! and yes! we have a lot of matching dresses and clothes)

Joey's mom (my mom's cousin) came back from the United States. which is a good thing. 'cause mom brought us to different places to indulge ourselves with tasty food! YAY! however, no pictures were taken because.....

1. All of us are impatient people. We tend to finish up the food in a flash.
2. I always forgotten to bring my camera.
3. My phone camera sucks. 

So, that sums up everything i guess. Well, not just everything. Just some important ones. 

kbai!
