Sydney, I Heart You

Saturday, July 25, 2009

I'm about to get stabbed soon if I don't do a proper update, right?

I feel lazy blogging although I am enjoying my time in Aussieland :( But here goes the really overdue post. I am deeeeeply sorry for not updating about Easter Camp, Wicked etc. Please visit my facebook profile to see pictures okaaaay. It was just a tad too long ago and I really am a procrastinator by nature. I truly am. But you still love me :)

Its been a week since I came back from Sydney. Sydney was..... awesome :) I am pretty sure my diet went to hell after landing at Sydney airport. Or actually before that I was already screwed. I have been munching non stop since winter hols. Can you tell how ecstatic I am that uni is finally starting again? I hate having too much free time. And the main reason I want uni to start, as much as I am not looking forward to assignments, is because the faster it starts, the faster it ends and then I can go home :)

I knew it would hit me eventually, this feeling. Homesickness. Nasty feeling. I miss the hugs and physically smacking siblings. I do miss the pampering back home. And the family and friends. And my bed. Watch me. I want to be treated like a princess when I get home :) My name does mean princess anyway :D :D

Oh ok a tad narcissistic now. Heh. But I do love myself. If not, who would right? Besides God that is.

RIGHT. SYDNEY TRIP. I AM SO FICKLE IT'S SCARY.

Among the places I visited in Sydney thanks to my lovely baybeh. I MUAX YOU THIIIIIIIIS MUCH.

UNSW

Taronga Zoo

Fish market

Blue Mountains

Bondi Junction

Bondi beach

City

The Rocks

Circular Quay

Darling Harbour

Opera House

Did I mention I ate alot? Figures. But I really did enjoy my time there. Heh.

Anyway, pics pics pics! Oh selected pics only. I am not stupid enough to post up pictures I look sucky in.

I loved the scenery shots though. Too lazy to post up zoo pictures. Animals only lar. Pretty sure you can google them :P

Darling Harbour, darlings

Fooling around in UNSW.

UNSW Quadrangle

With baybeh.

Only I wanted a picture with the ball. Dirty la you guys.

Seafood selection. Too bad I don't cook. At fish market.

At Darling Harbour.

Kissy wissy. I failed. Kerry is a natural :)

Lobster, baby! Too bad daddy ain't here to buy it for me. Oh dadddddy, Victoria Station when I get back ok ok?

Seafood platter for 2. Sinfully delish.

These 2 got posing down to a pat. Honestly.

Sydney Bridge.

On the ferry on the way to Taronga Zoo.

Waiting for the ferry.

Pretty pretty, no? Who says my camera sucks.

I THINK its a jail.

Sydney Opera House.

Besties.

Taronga Zoo.

Random shots at the zoo.

Too cute!

Cold Rock ice cream. Why is there none in Melbourne city!??

Bondi beach.

The deep fried Mars bar was so sinfully delish man. LUCKILY we shared it hor.

Scenery at Bondi beach wasn't so nice. We went in the evening :(

Hurricane's pork ribs. *drools* Regret not having more. Melb once again doesn't have it :(

Blue mountains.

The 3 sisters rock formation.

The Rocks was possibly my most favourite place in the city due to its old architecture. Lovely.

Pancakes on the Rocks. Wasn't the best but still yum :)

Inside Queen Victoria Building. SOOOOOO pretty wei. I could walk for hours admiring the architecture.

Mae took us to another suburb, Coogee, on our last day there. The beach there had one heck of a scenery.

Me wants to paint like that. When I retire, I shall! Hoho, right now, my drawings pretty much match up to those of a 4 year old.

Coogee beach front houses.

Damn tired okay uploading these pictures. I hope this makes up for the lack of updates thus far.

Besides going to Sydney, my hols have been dull. Thank goodness baybeh dropped by Melbourne for a week too. I have just been bumming, spending money, watching way too many dramas and rotting to kill time.

Now waiting for the other bestie to stop ffking me la. Better make time for me next week.

Uni starts in 2 days. Back to scarce updates. Unless I want to rant :P

Toodles.

Rum rum rum, i'm dumb

Saturday, July 11, 2009

I'm thinking maybe I should blog about something.

But lately, the brain juice isn't flowing just right. Siggggh. I can't help it if I ain't got the mojo to blog right?

Between missing home and getting results back, there really is nothing for me to say :( Don't ask bout results. I'll cry for you.

On the bright side, I'll be visiting Sydney next week :) FINALLY something to do :) Can't wait can't wait.

Hopefully when I get back, I'll feel the urge to blog again :) I really do hope the urge comes back.

Do you hear what I hear?

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Helloooooooo world!

Haha. Exams are over and Kerry is bugging me to update when we live in the same apartment, not to mention we share the bedroom. She is so impatient :P What would I do without you though, constantly punching me and taking my handphone for me when an sms comes? :D

Man, I miss home cooked food. Or any type of fatty food for that matter. Sometimes I hate it when I start counting calories again. But as long as the pants fit, it's all good.

Finals were....okay. Sigh. I DO hope the results won't kill me. Please be so merciful to this little fille, God. She DID study for finals. Although she enjoyed most of the time here and got sidetracked just a teeeny weeny bit a lot, she got her priorities back again :( Hopefully it wasn't too late.

I NEED a job. NEED NEED NEED. Stressed that enough?

More proper updates soon la. I PROMISE.

Don't miss me :)

Exam time blues

Thursday, June 11, 2009

People are complaning I don't update here la.

SIGH.

I will. I will. I will :) After finals. I got plenty of time then.

Listening to Moon River now. I'm feeling sentimental. Bite me.

Missing me already?

Saturday, May 30, 2009

Finals are in less than 2 weeks. And I am here, on blogger, listening to songs on youtube and staring at my lecture notes ( the same page, mind you) for God knows how long. 

Looking at my cumulated marks for a subject is depressing. To say the least. I really think I have just been enjoying too much here and thus, kinda forgot my real purpose here is to study. I like to think that H1 is within my grasp, however tiny and stubby my fingers are. But the future looks bleak. :( 

I need to ace my other subjects to make up for this one. I NEED too. 

But here I am, missing food back in Malaysia and planning meals to eat out for the next few days. I feel like a pig. Thats probably why I miss my piglet back home. Sigh.

I miss many things. But I am not ready to go home yet :) Life here has been good to me. Fret not. December is just around the corner. 

Till then, much love from me :D

Think of me.

Sunday, May 17, 2009

Ok ok. I am soooorrrry.

I really have no mood to write about all the stuff I mentioned in my earlier posts. Finals are coming and well, panicking.

Sigh. Anyhow, got a part time job. Hopefully all goes well. Pay is so so only.

Being secratary is not easy. Bah. I am mentally prepared! Hehe. Sort of. I think I am gonna be lacking sleep again. Boohoo. But I want money :(

I can't wait for hols. Did I mention finals are in less than a month? :(

Quickie #6 (I think)

Sunday, May 10, 2009

So I owe you guys a long overdue post. 

ONE more assignment okay? Then I'll definitely update on my life here.

Anyhow, I got elected secretary of COSDU. Heh. Is it really all paperwork? Bah! I'll redefine this position.

I hope you guys have not totally abandoned this blog.

CRAP. I ate so much at the AGM. And I got big dinner tonight too. HOW LA TO LOSE WEIGHT. 

I realise I don't have much to rant about my stay in Melbourne :P Wahahah. Okay, save the last post. I don't even rant much about assignments. 

Toodles.

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

Saturday, May 02, 2009

I'm not prejudice against my own race okay. 

On the contrary, I am proud of some of the qualities they possess. Too many to list down but you get my point.

However, does it kill you to be a little more polite when a customer asks you a question? Sheesh. Sometimes, I do believe that what my race gains in other things, we lose out on politeness and just good natured human values. So what if you make a gazillion dollars? When it comes down to it, all people really want is to be treated with some respect.

Okay okay! I know I haven't had time to sit down and write that long overdue post. It's coming. I promise. Keep you're pants on/

Maybe baby.

Monday, April 20, 2009

Bah! So much to say, so little time.

I WILL do a proper update soon. After I get my blogging mojo back. Many many thing to update actually. I know I say it too much but life here has been..... hectic. I'm loving it though.

Currently sleep deprived due to screwed up biological clock, so yea.

Bear with me people. I'm just enjoying being independent. 

Many thoughts running through my head right now. And I'm sleep deprived. No, seriously.

Have a great week ahead, people. It will probably be better than mine. I'm counting my days by the weeks in uni again. Oh, stress is looming ever so close. I need a clock to turn back time. So I can enjoy more :D

Random post but you know the drill. 

It's a prelude to my real post okay. Next update: Wicked, Easter Camp, Melbourne Aquarium, Movie night, Clubbing. Long post ahead so bear with me for now. Will satisfy all your needs in time. I doubt anyone is even interested in this dead blog anymore :(

Positively Wicked.

Saturday, April 04, 2009

Teehee :)

I got a casual job. Very casual in fact. But pays good money :) Ask me about it. Something you wouldn't guess. No dirty stuff ah.

I'm gonna go watch Wicked! Finally. Everyone here has watched it and awesome reviews keep flowing in :) I feel all giddy inside thinking about it. If I had the money, I would travel the world to watch musicals. Many, many more musicals on my list :)

Yes yes I knowwww. Slow n pics atm. Been busy. I didn't even take pictures during Night Market :( But I'll upload some sooooon :)

Hello, hello.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Few pictures taken from moomba water fest.

Kerry Lye in this picture :) And new friends :)
New COSDU club friends :)

The halfway decent picture of me. Ugh I am SHORT. Heels don't help here cause I walk alot and I need flats.

I've been busy if you must know. Assignments and tests piling up and I always wonder why I didn't quite enjoy my long holidays. Hehe. But I do love the adrenaline rush for assignments and tests. Heh. Keeps me busy at least and I don't bum around as much now. Fly fly away weight. Not like it has even started flying but a girl can dream right?

I've been happy. Life here has been kind to me in more ways than one. I actually take the time to try out new things nowadays. Things I was so lazy to do back in Malaysia. I have many things lined up. Stay tuned. 

To the family, if only you can share this with me, I'll be one lucky fille. Soon okay? Let me make some dough 1st :)

Home Away From Home

Saturday, March 14, 2009

Glad you people at home are doing well without me :D Don't get too comfy though. I'll be back soon ;P

But I'm doing quite fine and just enjoying my stay here :) New friends are awesome!

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Heh. I look horrible so not uploading them until I have lost the extra pounds. Make that LOTS of extra pounds. Why the food here soooooo nice one :( Make me hungry all the time only. Hmph.

Toodles :)

Moving again

Saturday, February 28, 2009

Moving day again. But it's to my own place so I can't complain. Plus, it's nearer to shopping places :P

I actually have to buy my own groceries now. The thought of cooking by myself gives me this huge adrenaline pump yet totally terrifies me at the same time. I feel like taking that frying pan and cooking up an awesome omelette. Thats the best I can do OKAY. I'm sorry not sorry if I feel that in 5 years men will be staying at home cooking and women will be out playing with stocks in the market. Not that market. It's not chicken stock either. Men will be grocery shopping in that market. Fine, supermarket if you wish to call it.

I've been okay here so far. Trying out new things has made me realise how much I have been missing out on living in my little cocoon of comfort back home. I mean, I've never walked to so many places in my life before. Well, can't exactly compare cause the weather here is much better for walking purposes. I've never so much as wanted to take public transport unless someone was with me due to certain reasons. I have my reason okay. Don't call me a brat. Now, taking the tram doesn't terrify me. I haven't tried the train but I will soon :) Getting lost here is not so bad. My boyfriend, M, is with me all the time, helping me get to places so all I have to do is look at him to know where I am going. If he can't tell me, people here are friendly and nice enough to help :)

As I said, I've been okay. Now that I've got the most important things settled here, I'm just waiting for classes to start so I can get busy again. I hope I've joined enough societies as well. I'm contemplating getting a job. Maybe. Possibly. I know if I have too much time to think and ponder, I will miss home badly. Not too sure what will happen when the cousin leaves but hopefully this fille who has been itching to be independent will be okay. I'll be okay :)







p.s.: Yes the boyfriend is my MAP.

Melbourne :)

Monday, February 23, 2009

Getting lost in the city is such fun sometimes :) I don't feel stupid getting lost. People here are so friendly!

Okay I miss the family dearly. I'll admit it. All the things I'm buying are for them. I can't imagine them not coming to see me in June :( :(

But keeping busy with uni stuff now. Plenty to do. So little time. I'm out everyday and there's plenty to see here!

Oooooh I went to the State Library :) And I traveled to Phillips Island to see penguins! The cutest things ever :)

I'll update soon once I've settled down in my new place. Now I'm a nomad living with a friend. Toodles.

You people at home, don't forget me ya hear? I'll be back so fast you'll wonder how fast time flies :)

Busy busy busy!!

Friday, February 13, 2009

Been busy okay.

Sorry I don't have time to update much these days unless you wanna hear me grumble about the amount of things I can't bring with me. Packing is such fun.

Add in a splash of last minute outings with friends and spending time with the family and I hardly have time for myself anymore. Oh but I'll have plenty of it soon I suppose. In Aussie, I shall become anti social :P

Just joking. I don't even like to eat by myself. I feel this huge sadness tugging at my heart whenever I see people eat alone :(

I'll catch up with everyone once I've settled down :)

Pictues shall be sparse for the time being although I love my new cam to bits :D

The Funny Thing About Human Beings

Sunday, February 01, 2009

So here I come to impart some words of wisdom. Hear me and listen well.

"What is the human being's funniest characteristic?"

A:'Our contradictories. We are in such a hurry to grow up, then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, then we spend all the money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die and die as if we had never lived.'

- Shamelessly plagiarised from the book Like The Flowing River by Paulo Coelho. Give the book a flip. It only takes a few things to give us that boost of self confidence we are lacking these days.

*******

I know my blog lacks pictures. Its just because I am practically handicapped when it comes to editing pictures and lately I haven't taken much either. I shall lose the weight first okay? BUT here's one halfway decent picture of me. No comments unless you mean it. And I accept negative ones as well. Maybe that will get my butt to the gym. But no one has been commenting anyway.

It's blurry la. Webcam sucks. But it covers up the pimples and the bright light helps tons. I don't know how to use photoshop. It's not even installed in the lappy. Teach me when I ask you to. 

But the sun's been quite kind.

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Okay random note.

Am I the only one who thinks US President Obama's voice is dreamy? Huhu. I fell in love with it when he appeared on Ellen. Michelle is so lucky :)

Currently listening to Your Song by Elton John. Every version I can find on Youtube. I would literally be floored if any guy ever sang this for me. Ewan McGregor type in Moulin Rouge okay. Or even like Ronan Keating :D :D Don't warble and kill an awesome song. Muchas gracias.

Happy Chinese "Niu" Year ya'll!!

For those friends overseas, nyeh nyeh :P Can't collect all those red packets :)

Don't worry la. Pretty sure you're parents will collect ang pows on your behalf :) The time of the year where taking money from people doesn't feel bad has come.

And the weight has come back :( Boohoo. I shall starve myself in Aussie.

Frustrated

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

I am feeling so restless la. Why does it not pay to be efficient? Grrrr!

Give me the damn COE la! *fumes* I'm not very patient okay. The limit is there. I want to get things over and done with.

Pretty please? :)

: )

Thursday, January 08, 2009

Yeah I am unproductive. But I didn't choose it okay. So what to do when you've got time on your hands but no money in the pockets? Indulge in crazy doses of Youtube :)

ps: That girl on astro who keeps prancing around in her weird hairdo wishing happy new year makes me want to smack her. So irritating.

Noises

Tuesday, January 06, 2009

One of the perks of living in a condo is that its cooling. Not all the time but most of the time. 

However, when there is a heavy thunderstorm the strong wind makes the place feel like you're living in a haunted mansion. The noises I'm hearing now would be great for a low budget horror film. And considering MY past with horror movies, well, I'm just feeling lucky this wasn't at night because if it were, I doubt I could sleep a wink.

ps: I got my offer letter! Flying to Melbourne on the 16th of February :)

You had me at Hello

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

Hello 2009.

Goodbye 2008.

Another year. Another year lays instore for us to rediscover where we fit in the world. Or it can be just another year to make mistakes. Small, big, who cares really. Growing older has made me realise how much time means. I'm gonna be twenTEEN next year. Yet, it seems surreal.

Gah, I'm rambling. 

Many things have happened this year. Too many to name but all have played some albeit small part to make it a great year.

Lets seee...

I went to uni. I like the word uni. Better than college.

Learned Mandarin.

Learned a bit of sign language :)

Found out I don't quite suck at uni life.

Found out I could hate some people that much. 

Made new friends.

Got a tattoo.

Saw the smiling moon.

Discovered my love for cocktails and dresses.

Had another awesome caroling session.

Great Chritsmas spent with family.

Etc etc.

As I said, too many to name. And of course the awesome people who have come into my life and made me what I am today.

Next year will be full of changes. Not sure if I'm ready but I do feel ready to spread my wings a little bit :) Parents are the best people in the world. I'm serious.

Okay enough rambling. I already feel shitty bout turning 20.

****

Promised pictures! Sorry it took some time but I've just been busy or plain lazy.

Caroling 2008.

This year was a miracle. We only managed to practice twice before the actual caroling. Yet we did great :) We sang in 20 houses for 3 days and managed to collect RM 1400 for charity. It feels good giving back. 

The throne :(

Oreo according to Evan. Get it?

The siblings.

Baybeh ;D

If only they were much older :) I don't want to be labeled a paedophile :(

Counting money.

For all pictures, please adjurn to my facebook okay. Blogger has PMS at times.

Lastly, HAPPY 2009 EVERYONE!

The new year is coming. I'm still thinking if I should get a new year's resolution. The past ones have never worked out. Failed would be putting it mildly :)

Seasons greetings!

Thursday, December 25, 2008

Hello dear blog readers, I'm sick :(

I KNOW. On christmas. But getting better. Mild fever only. Though kinda lost my voice. The thought of the chrsitmas turkey, goose, lamb, sausages etc etc makes me feel better :)

Anyway,

A VERY BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

May this yuletide season bring you love, joy and happiness for the coming years. 

Muuacks!

Thursday, December 11, 2008

You know what's damn shiok? 

Finding money you never knew you had :D :D

Damn happy one okay. I finally wore this pair of jeans I left hanging on the clothes rack to collect dust, mold and what not eons ago.  Felt into the pockets and pulled out an RM50 note. I felt richer instantly :) Was thinking it was scrap paper and was walking to the dustbin some more. 

Have been feeling broke for weeks. Mini jackpot :)

Currently tuning in to songs by Charice Pempengco. That girl's voice is one of the best. Go ahead and prove me wrong. I hope she makes it big. I mean, she's already been on Oprah and Ellen. What more is there right? Oh wait. She sang with Celine Dion. NOW what else is there?

Ideas?

Monday, December 01, 2008

I want a new header. I WANT I WANT I WANT! *Throws tantrum* 

Please? *Smiles* Just living up to my childish behaviour. Hmpph! Mum calls me childish nowadays. What did I doooo. Watch cartoons? Get all happy when musicals start showing? Sing along to Mamma Mia? ( Which btw, I'm not going to see and a lot of people I know are. Sigh. They are all going with family and I happen to be born into one with not much interest. Oh actually we are interested in freeee musicals. But tickets are sold out anyway. Broadway, I hear you. Too bad there are moths in my pocket now.)

I digress. I just have no idea what picture I want. 

I've grown bored with the current one and it doesn't feel like me anymore. I know I may hate change because something's always changing but minor ones like these I love. 

I shall search for one soon. 

And congratulations all Monashians! We survived! I'm partly excited to be going to Melbourne next year but I am not ready. Yet. Preparations are so bothersome :(

Grateful :D

Friday, November 28, 2008

I'm so grateful. From the bottom of my heart okay. Eternally.

Although this sem has been hectic, results have been released and I can smile again. I didn't think I could make it through this sem but somehow, I did. Miraculously been showered with blessings. Some I might not have deserved but I'm not complaining. That would be stupid.

Thanks to all of you who have helped me come this far.

p.s: I've found a new love! Shawls :D

And the cutie I'm refering to in my pm on msn is not someone I like lar. Haih. Its Liam Aiken who acted in Stepmom. His smile makes me gooey. He killed me on the spot when I watched the movie years ago. He still kills me now :)

Chicken heart okay.

Monday, November 24, 2008

I fail to see the reason for subjecting myself to such torture.

Audrey, I must REALLY love you. Twice in my life I have entered the cinema for a horror film and BOTH were with you.

After promising myself I would never watch another horror film in the cinema again lest my chicken heart stop beating halfway in the cinema, I thought it was time for a change. I feel full of changes now. Obama style. Teehee. Okay lame.

Anyway, I felt quite confident lor that I could take it this time. I mean the last one was....3, 4 years ago? I've grown stronger ya'll. After today, apparently not enough. Boohoo I'm still a chicken.

Haha. But I had fun scaring myself. I DID watch some parts okay. And at least I know the story this time. Means I watched a good part of it. :D

But it's gonna take a lot more talking to get me into another one. I LOVE shawls. So handy. NYEH. Had to have a dose of Mamma Mia! so I won't get nightmares tonight.

Saturday, November 22, 2008

I feel like the biggest shit in the world.

I'm so sorry Aliah babe. And my stupid phone died. Not like you're picking up :(

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.

I shall get you a bigger present now. Sigh. I am soooo stupid.
