sitting on a rainbow.  Tuesday, January 15, 2008
everyday is a new day i am quite disfigured, facially.
woke up this morning scratching my face. and after washing up, the horror.. i have rashes ON MY CHEEKS. round pink circles all over my CHEEKS omg. it makes me look really bloated, like you know, people who have allergies and some part swells up. grr. only on my face, no where else. the last i had really bad rashes was my random rash during first year, and quite some years back when i had some prawns containing boric acid. so my only conclusion is that it had to be the prawns from yesterday's meal. as a personal rule, i usually avoid prawns containing boric acid(highly spongelike chewiness). does this mean i have to give up the prawns that i bought forever? it wasn't boric acidic at all. :( i love my seafood.. one thing about me is that as far as i'm concern, i do not have any allergies. there is no way i am allergic to prawns cos a few weeks ago, step and i threw in some 500gms of prawns(the same kind as what i bought yesterday, i think) into the thai salad for shannon's dinner. and nothing came out of it except a very full tummy and a discovery later on. heh. so yes, ARGH! as long as there is no calamine on my face, it itches like CRAZY. like you wanting to SCRATCH THE RASHES AWAY! *stomps around* woe is me. --- tmr marks the day my bro moves out of our accom and suba starting to move in. his room is so empty now..............

rubbish. the thing about having a big box in your room is,
you accumulate so much junk that goes unnoticed. cos it's just keep keep, toss in box, get on with life. at least now my room has a path to walk through. instead of just hopping around at random spots where you can see the carpet. p/s. i realise.. i have SO MANY plastic bags. its a box full, which once again, you just stuff them into a box without realising how much accumulates over the years. i just want to throw them ALL AWAY but that would be quite detrimental to the environment, although it's such an easy way out. it's not the kind where you can tie on top too, which means i can't really use them to line my dustbins. what do i dooooo.. its time to start operation-don't-take-any-plastic-bags-anymore(except those that can be used to line dustbins). my just acquired switchfoot poster looks quite lonely on my wall. i should do something about it. (church bookshop had a few lying around --free leftovers from the concert, heehee) p/p/s. sherry, i have an extra poster, do you want it? its yours if you do  --- Yoon Wei says: Like sherry using her manja voice when trying to get us cups for genting Yoon Wei says: Where you kantoi her by saying..why are u talking like that jo* says: hahahahahahaha jo* says: sorry la i do not know the ways of the expert anyone else remember this incident? hahaha i have a feeling this goes down in the history of damn shy moments. i still laugh when i think of it.  if you look closely, something about him is a dead giveaway. even with the mosaic :P Sunday, January 13, 2008
what a day.  "when life throws you lemons, make lemon crosses" seriously, what a lemon-y day. a series of (unfortunate)events. my ielts day. as if the test wasn't bad enough to have to wake up early. us; suba & jo. my part on it. waking up getting ready by 6.35 frickin'AM. strolling down to Swanston St(main street) because the online timetable stated trams coming EVERY minute from 6.35 to 6.40. good life, right? no way. lots of orange barriers and cones blocking the WHOLE road. panic mode: switched on. i start running down 4 blocks. BEFORE 7am in the morning. with no prior excercise other than some light swimming in the sea the week before. BEFORE SEVEN am. as if that isn't bad enough. reaching the end of the road block, no trams in sight still. well, gee, not hard to figure seeing trams don't just appear in the middle of the tracks. jogged down to the next parallel street to thankfully hop on a tram to Flinders Street(where we needed to get another tram). met up with Suba, and we waited. and waited. and waited. for a tram that is supposedly to arrive a little after 7am(so says the online timetable). panic mode: switched on again. dashed across the road to use the payphone with change from a snickers purchase, minimum 50cents to start a phone call. NB: we didn't bring our phones, OR enough cash for a cab(however much it may have cost), cos we didn't know how well they will be taking care of our stuff while we're in the exam. thankfully remembered wenting's number(PHEW!), and THANKFULLY SHE PICKED IT UP! at 7.20 AM. which rarely ever happens. which is why i'm so thankful. get the wrong number that failed to reach Shannon(with car and good knowledge on how to reach the ielts centre). recalled wt, and got the right number, and THANKFULLY shannon woke up and agreed to be a saving grace. AND THEN. ok, the tram came. but since we were waiting for him already(plus no phone to call), we continued waiting. AND THANKFULLY, noticed that they were starting to BLOCK the road. meaning, no cars would come through. *faints* walked to the edge of the block, to see his car making a turn from the block. and finally we got into the car. *heaves a very thankful sigh of relief* and finally we were on our way to the centre. adventure? not Before 8am ever, please. anyway all that excitement made me really sick of being scared/worried about the exam. i was suddenly so PSYCHED to get it over with man. i was unusually chirpy at registration. ok, but nerves got to me and a coupla quick prayers later, the exam started. albeit late. my speaking test was the first batch(PHEW!) and here they were, taking their own sweet time. like, HELLO! i have a speaking test to go to, yea? sometime today would be good. but all in all, i am so thankful(underlined and bolded) everything worked out in the end. because people just don't function well before 8am. thank you, you, you, you and you. for picking up the phone, for picking us up, for encouraging messages, for calming my nerves. ok after all this, i really really hope i get past the threshold. stupid jon, so smug about getting all 9's. you wait, i'll show you.. in two weeks time. *prays really hard* it went alright.. but i hope they think so too! if that's not it, beach again(and futile attempts at getting tan), lambchops dinner, lotsa soybean grass jelly(which lead to a stomach ache), waking up really in the morning for church, missing tennis this evening cos my phone was on silent(!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!) and i fell asleep. plus the conniving brightness of Melbourne weather. so i settled down for some Alfie. it is a good movie, especially for guys who think with that thing between their legs, me think. new week, have a good one!

home sweet home. it's driving me crazy.
it really is. i can't believe how much i miss home now. the people i'm so accustomed to be seeing now, right at this moment if i were back. ..who knew high school could produce these kind of long lasting friends.. the kind who makes you excited at the thought of going home, to see them, and to just hang out. because it feels so normal to do that. that you just fit in and nothing's changed, although things HAVE changed. silly chinese new year shopping, long mamaks, bumming in malls or houses, night car rides, long talks, phone conversations, MINI TRIPS(!!!), crazy photos, sleeping over, dim sum breakfast in taman megah, our all time favourite pan mee shop for lunch. li shan reminded me about all these just now. and she's leaving in July. for goodness knows how long. and i'm not sure if i'll be back mid year. -- and with that, no more silly trio poser pictures. overnights and late chats with liqin dozing off after 1 minute(super cannot make it), silly cny shopping, egging each other to shop, and laughing at each other's (bad taste in)fashion *ahem*, tiny gifts which accumulated over the year; kept just because of the person who gave it, paying for each other, being there. *click* what am i going to do.. it's true what they say, about being very blessed if you have these few people in your life who you can really call friends. you don't have to say it, you(and they) just know who they are. it makes all the difference in the world. have a great week! damn emo a lot of people are leaving melbourne to go home the next few days. and meeting up there :( i want to tooooooo. it just sucks more that people are going back and i'm not following after them. oh, and please pray for me. my ielts exam is this saturday omg. damnscared.com.au Tuesday, December 25, 2007
beautiful love. in this new age where the media portrays christmas as just another occasion; one for presents, consumerism, the many sizes and shapes of santa claus(oh, haven't we seen it all heh) and last minute stress..
..take a deep breath, sit back, and remember why christmas is celebrated again. the true meaning underlying this occasion. the baby in a manger. merry christmas :) Thursday, December 20, 2007
joy
its a hiatus cos i can't seem to put into writing what i want to say. like it just flows out when i talk to people, well it depends i guess hahah. (i feel like deleting my applications on facebook cos i don't use them[just ornaments on my page] and i couldn't be bothered messing around with them ie superpoke, growing gifts etc. i don't actually remember why i got them hahah. i only use my wall & add people i know. which is my main reason for fb, other than the but! this i can put into writing, which might be seen if he does eventually come here. this is especially for the guy from the adventures of red laces & black shoes. one of the few things i miss a lot from my yearly trip back to Malaysia; the thing that eventually became a yearly tradition.. one of my must-do-a-few-times-before-i-leave.. something i look forward to.. ..just hanging out with this guy. hahah. good times. blessed 21st birthday, brian!

my internet is so slow i'm just not going to update till next week.
everyone is pretty busy with things when i'm pretty free. bumming is pretty swell. japan was good stuff, melbourne is hot. i want to go home, especially after a send off. triggered some sort of alarm in me that it's time to go home. but no, i can't. i'm a graduate, officially on the 20th december 2007. if you are around the area, drop by and say hi! no options for honours cos i don't have enough subjects to apply for the marketing one. my God is wayawesome. been blessed abundantly beyond anything i could dream of. 3yrs of accounting hahah. and i believe that there is more for me. so thankful.
