sweet sun (:

Weekend this week wasnt anything spectacular. Just more of a relaxing one whereby i got to sleep in a little longer than usual and busy reading up on stuff as well as preparing for my presentation on thurs. Realised that there are tonnes of things to remember this sem. So i muz start preparing early or my small brain carnt store so much info in such a short period of time!

Had club sign on day on fri and as usual i signed up for tennis lessons (: Looking forward to playing tennis again. Miss all the training and stuff. Oh yesterday, raisa, caroline, sarah and i had a walk near the lake after lunch. The sight was breathtaking and scenic! Real real pretty...only bad thing was that it was too cold cuz raisa and i were juz wearing shorts and shirt. Brgh....almost freezed. Had a nice chat along the way and it was a good way to enjoy the scenery and relax the afternoon away.

Amazing day today :):) Went to this nearby church called Hope with bunch of friends and the service was really really good! Loved it very much and the pastor was so entertaining and lively. Made the whole session so enjoyable. Felt the presence of god so strongly and i learnt a lot through the sermon today. Im so gonna go back there soon. Didnt know of this church until my friend introduced it to me and im glad that i got to know about it. Also, Hope church has set up a christian group within our uni and there is like meeting sessions. So i guess i'll be going to try it out and see how it goes (:

Gosh..gave me a shock. Heard from GB's sis that GB is at the clinic cuz apparently he cut his lips during soccer. Forever so careless..called GB and now cannot talk. So jeremy answered the phone and said some funny things :P Hopefully GB is really okie now. Pray hard...

You're the centre of my world...

working time.

Wk 2 of sch has officially started and the workload is slowly piling in. Cell bio is great in the meantime....contem law - one word "bad!!!" microbio was good at first but now..haiz...not anymore...entre seems much better than expected :)

Going to have a presentation for contem law next week and an essay due the following. I totally dislike writing and to make things worse, the article is so so hard to digest. Argh..its killing me and spoiling my mood totoally. But there is always someone to accompany me..so i dont feel so bad afterall :):) Helped me through it and im kinda of okie with it already. Understood most of the points and now including some applications before im gonna start on the ppt. Good luck to myself!

Entre lect was terrible cuz the prof kept talking everywhere besides what he wrote in the ppt. He could like pluck things from the sky and juz ramble on and on...so the blur me is like totally drifting off into day dreaming. Luckily, tutorial was way better!!! The assessments that are upcoming doesnt seem so bad afterall and my grp mates are great! All from the same faculty and enthusastic!! Yays...doesnt seem like i would have to do all the work by myself this time >.<

Microbio on the other hand, started off well but tutorial seems really bad. Firstly, my tutor is a french and he has that weird accent. Not that its really hard to understand what he is saying, its juz that he pronounces word wrongly and goes too fast when he mentions the bacteria's names. Gosh...totally didnt catch and i was like "huh". Worse still, his tutorial qns were not even from the slides. We were like expected to know so much more...dies. Need to go and read up. Oh ya. He made us spend the first half and hour doing the tutorial itself and the next discussing the ans. Hrmph..wouldnt it make more sense for him to give us the tutorial to do at home so that we can spend more productive time discussing and understanding? Weird. So will have to see how.

Last night was the funniest night ever! Played dai dee and the modified version of circle of death with GB. Hahhahah he totally cannot make it with cards. Doesnt seem that cards like him very much yea :P:P There was once where he gave a topic on cars while we had to say the brands of cars until one of us didnt have anything else to say. Evil...knew that i sucked at brands of cars so obviously i lost. Laugh at me somemore. Bleh! Nvm..took revenge by giving the topic on brands of "pads"! Hhahahhahh die almost instantaneously :P Super duper funny. Too bad...who call you to give me a hard one as well.

Anyway gotta go and start on the tonnes of stuff that i need to complete soon..if not i will never be done anytime. Dont wanna leave it to later cuz as the weeks go by...gonna get real busy. So yup.

Special and meaningful day today cuz it represents something close to me! <3>

awesome weekend with dearest pee!

First weekend back in aussie and im off to a wonderful weekend with pee pee. Received a surprised phone call on thurs night from her and she was like "toons! wanna come over tomorrow for rock climbing as my lifegroup is going. then at the same time, stay till sun so that we can meet up and chat!" Super tempted to go all the way to brisbane [though it takes me like 2 hours to get there by train and bus MYSLEF] cuz its been like months since i last saw pee, esp when last year we went out together almost every week. So had to abandon pub crawl [sorry caroline, raisa and cheryl >.<] and i juz went off like that! Proud of myself that i managed to not get lost and make my own way there with help from pee directing me at which stop to stop at. Thank goodness pee was around to receive my phone call if not im sure to end up in no man's land.

First thing i met pee was to hug her! :) Been soooo long and i miss her tonnes! Hehehhe then we took the bus back to her hostel to put my stuff down before heading off to her lifegroup leader's place to take his car to the rock climbing place. Met plenty of pee's lifegroup friends. They are juz an amazing bunch of pple that are so bubbly, lively and esp friendly to meee!! Great to have met all of them and thank god for allowing me to spend some time off to meet such pple along my learning journey in aussie land. Rock climbing was tonnes of fun..but also tiring. It was indoors and there were plenty of walls for us to try out. Made things more challenging by only climbing the wall using only a certain colour. Certainly a great experience. The worst part has yet to come. Pee and i saw this wall with an overhang and it seemed super difficult as the guys who were climbing it were also struggling as the overhand part totally required arm strength to hold up the whole body. DIFFICULT! Was really tempted to try and miss pee was like "go go..surely can do it since you did judo!" Hahhah so the dumb me really went to try it. Total regret. It was super exhausting as my arm strength was like very crappy..after not doing judo for so long. Struggled for quite a while at the overhang and almost wanted to give up. But everyone on the floor was cheering me on so i hanged on and eventually made it pass the overhang and all the way to the top!!! Achievement for myself. Happy :):):) Proud of myself as i dint give up though it was pretty tough and everyone was happy for me cuz i was the only girl to make it up there. :P:P Thanks pee pee for the encouragement!!

Needed to replenish our energy after rock climbing so we headed off for dinner cum supper at this hk restauarnt. The food there was yummy! Compared to food here in gold coast. After that, headed back to pee's hostel as an illegal immigrant in her room and stole the mattress outside her room as my bed. Hahhaha really felt like a robber when i stole the mattress. Oops....then as typical girls...we chatted for like 3 hours plus till like 3am in the morning and we were still not done though. Hahhahahha muz update each other about all our stuff right?? :P Felt really good catching up on each other's life and i thank god for such a friend in my life (:

Pee woke up at 730am in the morning! So early and she is insane. The lazy me only woke up close to 11am. Hahhahaha what to do. Used to sleeping at like 4am and waking up at 12pm on weekends. Headed off to Andrew's to shop for my slippers cuz im really scared of slipping and falling cuz of the stupid rain here. Happy with my buy and pee dint manged to buy the turtle neck that she wanted. Its okie..will do more shopping when we go harbour town kaes!!! Done with shopping, we headed to pei yin's house [one of pee's lifegroup friend] to play will and watch sg drama serial. Been super long since i last watched sg's drama serial and i muz say it brings back memories. Pee suddenly said she missed home a lot and wants to go back soon!!! Aw...meeee too!!!! Darn...im only came back to aussie land a week ago only and i miss it already. What to do. Had dinner at this indian restaurant and i muz say the curry and nan there is not bad! Yumz..becoming a pig already. Movie was next on the schedule and we watched the night at the museum 2. It only cost 6.5 for students kaes!!! Unfair. We in gold coast pay like 11 dollars usually and 9.5 on tues?! Hrmph...unfair unfair!!! If anyone wants to know if the movie is good, im not such a good person to ask cuz as usual, i fell asleep halfway. Heheheh dunno why i keep falling asleep nowadays. Having a hard time trying to keep awake.

Toured UQ this morning and it was nice to view all the nice scenery and stuff. Got to learn more about the studying environment and stuff. Hostel food at UQ is also GOOD! why is everything in brisbane always so so good??? Lucky i dont stay there if not i will get 1000000 times fatter. So should count my lucky stars that im stuck in gold coast. Hehehheh :P Oh yar, almost forgot to mention. Pee and i skyped SUWAN!!! Awesome time skyping her. She was shocked to see both of us together:) Ha..who call you not to come aussie suwan! But still..its nice talking to her since a long long time. Enough of my rambling and im juz gonna watch show before skyping and going to bed. Tired...and my back muscles are aching from rock climbing! Totally enjoyed my first weekend back here and it makes me less homesick after meeting up with pee pee. Pee pee also wants to meet GB soon. So pee...remember to make time for me when we are back in sg in dec!! Counting down!!! P.S Pee im definitely missing you already and i totally agree with you that old friends are the BEST!!! :P:P:P:P

" Praise you for letting me see the works of your hands"

Not used to not hearing you before sleeping. What would life be without you??

when will the rain ever stop...i wonder

4 days since i arrived back in gold coast and the weather is not too bad afterall! Slightly cold and its definitely much better than the hot and humid weather back in sg, so i do like it here :) But i still miss my family and friends back in sg more and this will definitely overide the fact that the weather in aussie is much better than sg.

However, the weather here these two days has been horrendous. Been raining non-stop. Literally...incessent rain! Classes were even cancelled cuz of the bad weather. Amazing. Never knew classes can be cancelled cuz of rain. Furthermore, spoilt umbrellas were like all over the floor near the dustbins! Should have seen the sight...shocked. Banks of the lake are like overflooding and the wind is so strong that it kinds of blow us out of our direction. Thanks to my lousy slippers, i keep slipping and i bet im sure to fall down on my butt on day. Need to buy new ones again soon. The rain also made me stay in the mlc till 11 am though i ended classs 830 am, when i only started class at 805. Didnt feel like walking all the way back to hostel and get wet. So stayed and used the com till i had to meet raisa and caroline for lunch. Had fun chatting with teck wee though. Hhehehe...crazy guy up so early in the morning when there is like no sch. Gb would never be awake at this time though! :P

Talking about arriving back here in aussie land, the adventure was totally amazing. Courtesy to darren sin. His so called "weapon" tennis racket took so long to arrive on the belt and we had to wait like half an hour for it, thus we missed the first bus back to gold coast. Had to wait for an hour before catching the next bus. Stupid bus took like an hour plus to get back to gold coast. Travelled so so long and far manz. Slept and woke up...only to realise that we are still on the road. Dotz. Arrived back in uni around 12am and had to walk all the way to the other end of sch juz to collect our keys before we could get back to our hostel right at the opp end. Faints...had to help lix and darren carry their stuff cuz they were dying from their overload of baggage. Carrying the luggage up 3 floors was the ulitmate killer. HEAVY!!! Even darren was dying too. Survived it though. Lucky...thank goodness i did judo [help to train some of my muscles to carry the stuff up the stairs] :) Mummy was super duper worried about me cuz i took so long to arrive back at hostel and had to call gb to ask if i did call him. But in the end, she called me on my hp to check on me! She really got a scare and i was like no worries mummy..im fine. Mummy is juz so cute!!! <3

Workload for sch is slowly piling up. Not too bad cuz its the first week but contem law and entre lectures juz bore me somehow. Trying hard to keep awake and pay attention. Hopefully i will pay more attention! Cell bio was great! At least learning something interesting. Have yet to have microbio lect. Only have it later at 6pm. Brgh....at night!!!

Angel left for sg yesterday morning. Slept in my room for 2 nights and its pretty fun having a so called "roommate" for 2 days! She totally had tonnes and tonnes of stuff..even after sending 3 boxes back. So caroline, her and me had to help her pack more stuff into boxes and send 3 more boxes home. Woosh...plenty of stuff she has! Im totally amazed. Hope angel had a safe trip and is totally enjoying her time back home. Lucky girl! I would die to be in your place. Still, she is going on another trip again! Faints..her sis is sponsoring her. Argh..jealous! Bet she misses us though..like we do too :P Less fun without her and we are still getting used to life here in gold coast without her. Nevertheless..i'll definitely meet her when i get back in aug. Remember to skype me girl if you see this post kaes! You so owe me chatting sessions!!!! :) In the meantime..help me eat all the nice stuff back there kaes! On my behalf! And do update me about how is life back there. <3

Missing everyone back home! They all seem to be having much fun cuz all of them are on hols. Sobs sobs...but nvm. Holidays will be here soon yet again! Counting down to it. Pub crawl is tomorrow :) Yay gonna have some fun with raisa, cheryl and caroline! hahahha caroline's first time to pub crawl :P She is so excited and will make her have some fun! Do remember to wake me up in case you guys. I bet i will oversleep again. Oops...friday is my off day you see. Oh ya...we girls gotta catch up on xoxo gossip girls! Lagging behind. Lets have some gg session soon kaes..before work is coming up. And rasia dear..dont emo anymore!!!! We want the old raisa back!!!!!! Right caroline??

Thanks for the wonderful holidays and amazing memories...pls hurry over. Carnt wait! <3<3<3

flying back over the seas.

Time passes really really fast. Almost a month already and its time for me to get right back to mugging again. Sobs sobs...gonna miss everyone back here again. But nevertheless, it teaches me very much to treasure everything i have right at this moment. Family, friends and loved ones...the things that i hold closest to my heart. Counting down to the days i would be back here in sg again! Hehehe. Overly eager...oops.

Pleasantly surprised today. Miss ong is one of the culprits. Ask me to go shopping with her, but things turned out differently. Great one indeed! After drinking our fav starbuck coffee, she asked me to go with her to eat manhattan..so i was fine with that idea too. Chatted while walking there and when we were about to enter, she juz walked right in while i attempted to stopped her cuz i thought she forgot that we neeeded to queue. Took me quite a while to realise that everyone else was there! From jc clique to KJ, marcus, teck wee, kenneth and marcus. Super surprised!!! Didnt expect them to come and i was shocked. Turned out to be that they were there to celebrate my advanced bday. Sweet...had a nice time with them during lunch. So thanks everyone for the special surprise..esp dear who took time off to plan all the stuff!

Totally enjoyed my last day of hols back in sg and im totally looking forward to coming back again already! Love ya tonnes!!!!
