2 weeks in KK

It's almost 2 weeks back here in KK, starting to get more use to the life here in terms of my living pattern and diets as well. I realized that I'll automatically wake up when it's 10am which is not like me when I'm back in Adelaide. I used to eat 2 meals a day...now I'm having breakfast, lunch and dinner! Erm...I seriously think that I'm going to gain back all the weight that I've lost...this is not good! Not to mention that I'm going to KL soon...which means that I'm going to gain even more weight..!hahaha...!!!
Life for the past 2 weeks is not very exciting compared to KK due to strict parenting. But never mind, I have a lot of things to do to make myself occupied such as going online....writing my diaries...rearranging the mass photos taken in ADL and also watching movies...shopping....talking on the phone. Ain't life relaxing? :P Another 1 month of this life then I'll go back to ADL where life will be full on with assignments, activities, fun and ooommmphhhhh!!!! :) both lives have their own good thing about it and I'm enjoying everyday of it.
Christmas is over and New Year is coming. Hrm...I think most people will be thinking of their new year resolutions by now, are you? I dunno..but for the sake of it, I think I should start thinking of mine as well. hrm...what do I want to achieve next year? Never really give much of a thought actually. To be honest, I'm pretty satisfied with my life now that I seriously have not much aim to work towards to. Loving family, great friends, good health...what more can I have? A boyfriend???? nah........don't really think so at the moment. I know what....earn more money and go travelling...I still haven't visited Perth, Canberra, Tazmania and Cairns (I'm definately not going to the outbacks.. all thanks to the movie "Wolfcreek"...haha). Anyway...am I supposed to keep my new year resolutions a secret? like how they do with their birthday wishes? Don't really know..!!! :) but I'll sure keep my resolutions to myself just in case that I don't get to achieve mine..then people still won't know about my "laziness"...hahaha..!!! :)
Another 2 more days to countdown...I wonder how the rest of my gang are going to celebrate their New Year's eve. I know that there's some celebration going on at my uncles's house and I know that my family are going over to uncle's house for countdown. Hrm...I'm still not sure yet. Me and my KK gang still haven't decided on what to do that day. Moreover, I'm not sure if my mum will let me go that night as well. It's a bit hard to say because she doesn't allow my brother and sister to attend their youth event...let alone me joining my friends...!!! See how it goes..!!!
In case that I don't manage to wish everyone that I know....HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006 everyone! Hope that the coming year will be great for each and everyone of you guys out there and wish that you guys will be happy whereever you are and whatever you do or whoever you are with. :)

Changes in life

Ever feel like stopping the time to a particular year/period so that everything will stay the same (nothing will change). Well.....i really do have those kind of feeling right now..!! Three of my best friends in Adelaide (Teck Heng, Casey and Edmund) are graduating tomorrow..!! For the past few days...I've been going around with the rest of my gang as part of bringing Teck Heng's parents to see Adelaide! The thought that strikes my mind first is that this will probably be the last time that I do this particular thing with either one of them and I might not have the chance of experiencing the same thing with them anymore. It makes my heart wrench when thinking of that! I'm feeling extremely happy that the three of them are graduating this year and that they will continue to head on with their lives; yet at the same time I dread for it to happen cause I know that their graduation indicates that the time that they are leaving Adelaide is nearer. Thinking of what will our lives be without them (sleeping in a room without the presence of Casey, no more long talks with Teck Heng, lesser Amei news to hear from, walking to BP in the middle of the night to buy subway, being teased by Teck Heng.....the list goes on.....) seriously is very intimidating to me cause I don't like how it's changing to at the moment. I've told WJ before that these changes are inevitable and you have to learn how to accept that. However, telling ppl what to do is easy and taking the action yourself is extremely hard. I've kept myself busy for the past few days trying to sort out the graduation gifts to give to the three of them .....in a sense occupying my mind from thinking too much. Nevertheless, if I have the extre time to just sit in the car (listening to music) and with someone starting this topic, those heart-wrenching emotions will just surged in without any warning signs. I really hope that i don't look gloommy during their graduation tomorrow, I wanted to look the best and take the prettiest pictures with all of them as memories! Just wanted to say (Casey, Teck Heng and Edmund)------------------------I'm going to miss the three of you terribly next year. I'm keep in touch with all of you guys tremendously so that you won't forget this gal here in Adelaide...!!!

Just another night here in Adelaide

Working through my reports and preparation for my patients tomorrow...it's just another normal night for me. Still working hard on the remaining 10% of the photoframe that I've been doing for the past few weeks! I still have another 3 more to go and that's it...I can continue with a photo session with my effort...then only i distribute it out!!! :)

Doing my adult rehab placement now.....!!! Dont' really enjoy it, but I'm starting to get the hang of it! Probably I'll get to like it in the next few days of my placement. hahaha...but I really dread to go for placement this Friday cause I'm going to face "stinky" feet...!!! Luckily like what TH said.....water here in Adelaide is not being charged per usage...if not...seriously I'll be broke just by paying of water bills because I've been taking shower so frequently (the max is 4 times in just one day)! hahaha....I too feel relieved that water is not being charged here....! I think I've gotten Michelle's "virus" of taking showers whenever possible...hahahah!!!

Usual night...Casey is still talking to Wen Pinn now.....they haven't been talking for the past few days due to exams...!!! Oh yeah....she's talking about this Christmas party that is at the heat in our gang right now! So...wanna know what it is? It's basically a pre-celebration christmas party (WJ is going back next Sun, so will have to celebrate it before she goes back)...so what we are planning to do is that each and every one of us has to come up with a present (cannot be less than 15 bucks) for this gift exchange event during the party! Condition is that the present has to be unisex, cannot be food stuffs and other ppl can't know about what you are buying so that the present is a SURPRISE! hahahaha.....Wen Pinn can't know what Casey is buying cause I'm here....Casey can't tell cause she'll violet the rules...!! She kept on giving out clues to Wen Pinn...but he still can't get it...!! erm....actually I also can't guess what she is going to buy..!! so....breaks even! Talking about presents...I've got an idea of what I'm going to buy...hehehe...going to go and search for it this weekend!! hehehe.....I'm seriously looking forward to this celebration because it's very meaningful (at least to me!) Casey is trying very hard to keep the secret....let's see how good she is in that...if she manage to let me know about it...hahaha...she'll have to get another present...!!! :) I wonder how the rest is going with ideas here........I know that TH has an idea of what to buy...how bout the rest???? I can't stress enough........it's a SURPRISE PRESENT.....so don't let anyone know about it.....!!!! The surprise will be spoilt!

Michelle is finishing her exams this sat.....then everyone is free except for me.....hrm...:P but nvm....I'll get my holidays in about 2 and a half weeks times...!! Can't wait for my holiday to come...!! hurrah.....!!!! :)

Erm...have to continue working on my photoframe now...!!! Wish that my frens have a great holidays.....!

C ya kids!!!!

Hurrah....today is totally the end of my paediatric placement for this year..!! That means no more kids for the rest of 2005..!! hahaha...isn't that great!?? Anyway...I got an overall credit for this placement which I think is alright as I don't expect that I will get more than a C due to the minimal amount of effort that I have put it except for that home exercise booklet that I made for one of my patients! With the help of Teck Heng's artistic talent, I manage to get another point towards full marks for my home exercise program...which was good! Thank TH!

Guess what guys?? My mp4 player is working for the past two days which was a miracle (at least to me :P) and was spoilt again today..!! hahaha...and the funny part is that I don't feel a thing..!!I was screaming with joy which puts Casey off that night cause it was past midnight when I found out that my stupid mp4 player is working and I was calling everyone up telling them about this good news. She couldn't stand me when I'm like a crazy girl laughing over nothing. Anyway...my excitement didn't last very long as it's not working now...bugger! That's the consequences of buying cheap stuffs...!!! Erm....how about expensive mp3 player like IPOD????? Hrm...???? (deep in thoughts....should I buy??? hahaha...) joking only...I don't have money to buy it...so go away iPOD...don't tempt me anymore!!!!

Things have been pretty slow recently as all of us are busy with exams except for me and WJ (we are having placement)! Till now, I think that everyone did ok...with Joanne telling me that she wanted to defer her exams in order to get full marks (haiyo...that girl.....still not satisfied with her HD already.......going for HHD I guess hahahaha......Joanne Joanne.....you are seriously funny!!!) Anyway...good luck guys with the rest of your papers!

I found out of my timetable for next year and I realized that I'm starting on the 13th of Feb instead of the 20th...!!! hrm....tried to argue with the lecturer.....but no success!!! So that means that I have to come back early.....which is not good! Not only that, I probably have to go to KL in Jan.....good news or not???? I don't care......by hook or by crook I really must go to KL this time!!!

I'm totally free this weekend and I have nothing to do because everyone's busy with their exams....!!! Hai......I need to think of something now....have to fully utilised my short short short short break...! Very tired now...!!! Feel like shopping...probably go shopping now....!!!

Pakistan guy at king william street??

Today it was just a normal day for me, as usual feeling exhausted after dealing with this extremely difficult kid at placement. Was leisurely walking towards Rundall mall, going towards Rundall mall when all of a sudden a guy approached me asking me for directions. This guy----how to say, is about my height...probably slightly taller than me and is darker than me). He spoked to me in Malay, asking me where am I from. Well, we started a conversation using my lousy Malay (with a bit of english in between) Basically, he was asking me about where do I come from, which country, what my name is etc...!!! This is so normal cause I always do that when I'm talking to a stranger here in Rundall Mall. People here are very friendly...so I don't see anything fishy in him thinking that he's just a lost visitor here in Adelaide and was happy to see someone from the same background as him (he told me that he's from Sabah---Tawau.l..the same state as I'm from). However, things are not always as simple as I thought it would be. He started to ask me fishy questions like whether I am attached/married or not...!!! Before I can think of what his motives were, he asked if I can be his gf or not. What the heck? That's very sudden and I've never ever thought that that would happen to me. I was so shocked when I heard that. So........what did I do? I tried to act blur....saying that I don't understand what he's trying to tell me (btw...he is talking to me in broken english...so that reason of not understanding him is pretty logical I would say). However, he's not easy to brush away, he tried hard using his broken malay and english trying to ask me the same thing again. Unfortunately I just have to tell him "no, thank you!" straight at his face. Luckily he took it quite well by giving me a smile and bring out his hand out to give me a handshake. For a moment there, I was thinking if I should shake his hand or not. However, I thought that it's just a friendly gesture...so why worry? Moreover, King William Street is one of the busiest street here in Adelaide...I think don't anything drastic would happen anyway. So, a bit reluctant, I shaked his hand thinking that everything should be fine. As I was shaking his hand, he suddenly pulled me over to his side and give me a good bye kiss (I think...!!) Luckily, my reflexes were quick enough to react to what's happening at that moment. I quickly backed off with eyes opened wide with shocked, pulled my hand away from his...uttered the word "bye" and left quickly without turning back. I was a bit shocked and scared...!! But luckily this man did not get angry or anything....phew...that was close...!!! I quickily called up Michelle.........telling her what happened to me...and was being teased by her...!!! Hai.........!!!! :P So...what have I learnt from this? Never ever again to be too friendly to people that you don't know...and of course...never to shake people's hand whom you think are fishy...!!!! Lesson no. 1 for the day!!!!! :)

Today it's extremely hot-----31 degrees!!!! I was so hot that I lose my apetite to eat...!!! Haven't been eating main meals for quite a few days already........dinner was instant noodles....and fruits...!!! This week is pear week....bought about 5 pears yesterday...planning to eat one each day for lunch...!!! hahaha...healthy!!!!!! :) Michelle was whining about the hot weather today like crazy...!!!! Can't blame here...it's really really hot until I don't feel like doing anything except taking showers! Flies were everywhere...it's crazy...!! You can see people having "flies fight" when they are walking.......trying to brush the flies away which are very irritating...!!! However, it's never ever successful in doing that! The flies are really annoying! Summer is coming and I reckon the flies will be ready for their "big attacks" soon! Luckily I'm not going to be here for summer...!!! Good luck to those who are going to be here during that period of time! :)

Anyway, going now. Bye bye everyone!

Playing with kids!

hey,
It's been a while since I've put in an entry here. It's about time that I do so. Really am tired now cause I've been playing with kids the whole day and had attended an hour of PE lesson in the afternoon. I've worked my legs hard by playing jumping games with my kids in the hospital and doing vigorous physical activities today. Phew...glad that's over for today! My legs were sore from yesterday's "animal games" and jumping games. hahaha...luckily those kids did not give me a hard time. Actually there's this kid today that I've seen. You should have seen him..he is basically so energetic that I have to chase him around trying to get him do stuffs. Interesting enough, I have to make the whole session fun for him and it really triggers me to think of fun exciting games for him. Overall it was not too bad...however, my tutor had a lot of feedback for me and I reckon to her it's not that good. Hopefully all will turn well next day!

Doing my seminar presentation on Down Syndrome. It really is giving me a headache trying to search for recent articles and pictures of it. However, I think i've manage to do at least 80% of it. It's a matter of compiling it and presenting it this Friday. Wish me luck guys!

Mp4 player spoilt

Well...got my new MP4 player this Mon, the device was spoilt yesterday (Thursday). I didn't even get to use it for a week and that's it. What bad luck! Seriously I think that there's something between me and Harbour Town. The second last time that I went to Harbour town...I lost my precious LG phone due to my clumsiness. Then went to Harbour Town last Thursday and after that "wonderful" shopping trip, my mp4 player was spoilt the next day. Whoosh....this time at Harbour town, I've bought 2 cheap stuffs and in the end I pay the price of my mp4 player. Stupid Harbour town, stupid mp4 player.....stupid lightning....stupid taiwan....stupid bad luck! Hai..................................!!! Now...I'm back to the days when I don't have any mp3 player. The thing that I'm concerned about at the moment is how the heck am I going to get a replacement for my mp4 player since my mum bought it in Taiwan in July this year. Just emailed the manufacturer and told them about my player, hopefully they will reply me as soon as possible and hopefully there's not extra charges to the replacement of that stupid device!

It's almost the end of my holidays for this year. A bit reluctant to start my rehabilitation placement. So.....why is it? I don't know...don't ask me. I think that it's because that I've slacked for almost the whole academic year. There's only like 2 months left to the end of this year and I have to start being more hardworking as I've heard that there's heaps of documentation for rehab placement. Hai...........!!!! What a way to end this year!

I'm feeling a bit bluish at the moment.............! Lazy to blog anymore...!!!

Joanne's Bday

Just finished organizing Joanne's Bday last Sunday, had BBQ at my house. Was planning to give a surprise to her..however, due to "someone" who is not very good in lying, the cat was somehow out of the bag. Joanne knew that there's something going on and actually played along with it. Hai......in the end......there's not much of a surprise...but in the end...we had fun! :)

We basically started to plan for her birthday when she went back to Msia. As usual, the type of bday party really gave us headache due to the unpredictable weather here in Adelaide. Luckily it was pretty hot and sunny on that day we had decided to have the party on. So....started to search for the presents in Swarovski on a Mon..if I'm not wrong. Spent about 1 and a half there....the crystals are so shiny that my eyes were almost blind after spending so much time there deciding on which crystal to get for dear Joanne. At last, the three of us (Erbert, Teck Heng and me) have decided to buy this little butterfly on a platform. It's really pretty especially when the crystal is placed on a mirror and there's reflection coming out.......wow....!!! I saw this teddy bear in the shop that is soooooooooooooooooooo cute....!!! I liked it a lot.....it's basically a teddy bear sitting down playing with a train..!!! but it's very expensive too....no $$ to buy it. Hrm......probably make it as a early christmas present just like what Michelle did......not a bad idea oh!!! :)

Then on Friday....went to Central market with the rest of the gang to buy food for the big BBQ at my hse. Wow....the amount of food that we bought..it's enough to feed more than just 15 ppl I reckon. However, as we are thinking of bbq for the whole day...so the amount of food should be enough to last the whole day. However, expectations is always never going to match with reality. Anyway, the marinated pork chop, chicken wings and lamb chop were very nice. We used up about half a bottle of the soya sauce (it's not those typical bottle of soya sauce...the one that we bought is like a 2 litre of milk sold in Woolies or coles)...so imaging using half of the bottle.....!!! We put in honey, garlic, all purpose seasoning powder like there's no tomorrow....but the effect was seriously very strong. The food cooked the next day tasted very very delicious. Personally I liked the chicken wings...followed by the pork chop and the lamb chop. However, it's very troublesome to eat the chicken wings...so in the end I prefer to eat the pork chop more. hahaha..!!! All of us stayed up to about 4 in the morning marinating the food and baking cake for Joanne. Guess what....we did what we've said ages ago to Joanne...-------GREEN PEA CAKE!!! Basically it's butter cake...but we laid down a layer of green peas in between two layers of butter cake and on the top of the cake we used green peas to spell out " Jo 21". Personally I think that this cake is very special and gross as well because I don't like to eat green peas just like Joanne. The next day when everybody got a piece of the cake, ppl were scrapping out the green peas cause it's seriously not nice to eat butter cake with green peas...trust me...you won't want to try it!! I can understand why Joanne doesn't like green pea that much!!!

So...the next day was pretty much full on. Teck Heng, Erbert, Wern Jiunn and Min Min had to wake up a about 8 in the morning to start running errands for Joanne surprise BBQ. Lucky me woke up at about 10 in the morning. Don't need to wake up that early since the whole event is at my house...hahaha...that's the good thing about having an event at your house. :P

It's was pretty hot on Sun......so a nice day for BBQ. Joanne wore a black blouse that is bare at the back. So all of us were throwing in green peas into her blouse through that big hole at the back there. :) After the BBQ....we went into the house to play games. Casey who just came back from Melbourne introduced 2 funny games into our group. It's called "WATERMELON" and "5 Actions Game". The games were really funny as the participants would have to do different hand actions and they have to be very quick in terms of changing from one hand action to another. For people like me who is a bit slow in the mind...well....was losing for the first few rounds...and the penalty for that is eating RAW GREEN PEAs.......eiw......disgusting...!!! I swallowed about 3-4 peas...and seriosuly I don't like it. :(

Then Joanne and Min Min had to go dinner with their aunt. So the remaining people continue to bbq...!!! After the second round of bbq...we went out for coffee. Till then...all of us were very tired as we din have enough sleep for the past few days. We went back home at about 1 in the morning after coffee. :) Anyway, I hope that Joanne had a great time that day and also like the present that we gave her. It might not be a big bulky present...but the bottle of stars that we made together was very meaningful. I won't mind getting one for my next birtday...!! *hint! hint!*

Hey...I got my MP3 player yesterday. WEnt out with Daphne and Michelle and finally...my mp3 player is solid in my hands now. hahaha......oooppppsss....sorry...it's a Mp4 player. It's pretty small but it can play music, MTV and you can even look at pictures with it. The only thing is that the screen is really small...so would really have to strain the eyes a bit if you are looking for details in the MTV or pictures. but overall I love my player a lot...!! Thanks mum...this seriously is nice! BEen using it today and still figuring out the features of my player at the moment. :)

I think I better stop for now...it's getting a bit long for this entry...!! and at last.....I'm HAVING HOLIDAYS NOW...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Cherry Ripe Slice Recipe

Hey,
I've finally got the recipe for cherry ripe slice recipe of my tutor today. Hurrah...that means that I can get to try this recipe out tonight. Planning to go to Woolworths to get the ingredients for it. :)

Basically the people around me are falling sick...according to their theory, I'm the cause for the whole thing here cause I'm the first to fall sick. Probably it's true that I've transferred all the bad bacteria/viruses to them. hahaha......funny! Speaking of falling sick, my 3 other coursemate who are going to the same placement as I'm was down with cough, flu and sore throat. All this happened when I'm getting better. hehehe...never thought that my "influence" is that widespread...!!!! :)

Oh yeah, this stupid, no use 3 company sent me a bill yesterday, charging me 270 bucks for my old 3 phone that I've lost when in fact, they told me that they will only charge me for half of the price now ($130)! Will go to 3 shop later and demand for an explaination. so..this afternoon will be busy..busy...busy...!! and the funny part is...I dunno what i'm busy with besides settling my 3 bill stuff.

This entry is just short and simple.....cause I'm lazy to type...hahahaha!!!

holidays next week!

Piew....8 weeks of placement at QEH is almost to an end....totally relieved! Hurrah!!! However, a bit reluctant to end my acute care placement cause that means that I'll have to start my rehabilitation placement in about 3 weeks time! Hai...xian!!!

Went up to Handorf last Saturday with the rest of our gang. We caught a bus up there and had a buffet lunch at this place called "The Old Mill" (if I remembered the name of it correctly :P) Anyway, I was very full from the lunch and as usual I did not eat a lot. Haven't got a big apetite these few days...erm...that's good...means that I get to lose some weight now! hahahaha.... After a heavy lunch, we basically walked around Handorf taking silly pictures here and there. The most significant thing that I can think of now was WJ stepping onto dog's poo there (had taken a movie of her trying to remove the poo from her shoe! real funny!) She was screaming and whining while rubbing the sole of her shoes on the grass....hoping that the poo does not stays there...!! All of us laughed like crazy when we saw that! After the enjoyable trip in Handorf, we went up to Norwood for bowling. hehehe....second time that I played bowling and guess what??? I got 2 strikes...isn't that great? hehehe....couldn't help feeling proud of my bowling skills. Nearly beat Erbert's score...hahaha......I'm the second highest....!!! :P Edmund was the champion that night. He had about 5-6 strikes during the second game which was really really amazing....all of us cheered and clapped like the whole place is ours!!! Overall..the bowling was extremely fun...but to me I was a bit bored towards the end of the game. I was not bowling very seriously at the end there...hahaha...guess what I did? The swung the bowling ball to the side of the lane....and the ball went zigzag into the end of the lane, hiting only a few pins on the side. People's ball was going straight whereas my ball was going sideways (like a crab!). :P Erbert did the zigzaggy thingy and in the end his ball hit none of the pins standing there.....and all of us couldnt' help but laugh at his bad luck!

After the bowling....bought KFC and went to my house to have our late dinner. All of us were looking through pictures while having the delicious fried chickens. That's about it for Saturday.....ended with laughter and smiles. Eventhough we did nothing very special for the day.....however, I really enjoyed it. :)

On Sunday, went for car ride with Michelle and Hong Gunn. Michelle was practising driving a manual car. We went to a park in Campbelltown and up to Mount Lofty. Michelle was not very confident driving a manual car...but she manages well when driving up the windy road to Mount Lofty. After the car ride, i went to have dinner with Teck Heng and Erbert. During the afternoon, these two went to a bookstore with Erbert's portable computer to copy recipes for dinner. Like I've told them, if they continued doing this, they are able to publish their own cookbook with re-editted recipes. hahahaha...!!! But honestly, the "supposed-to-be-soup" porridge, overloaded with meatballs, onions, sesame oil, eggs and soya sauce was very very very delicious. Probably the re-editted recipes was not that bad after all???? Till now, i think they are alright....except for this salmon dish that they've tried to cook last week which was not up to the two guys' standard!Personally, I think that the salmon tasted ok....not as bad as they said it would be.

Monday---placement as usual! Boring.....!!!!!!

Thursday, September 22, 2005

Hurrah...!!!

End of the week for me....yeah!!! My tutor is having some kind of training in my uni tomorrow which leaves me and my friends "tutorless" for placement, so in the end we don't have to go for placement tomorrow. yeah...!!! Hurrah...!!! I can't say how how how delight am I not having to go for placement for just one pathetic day, but I'm still very very very very very very very happy!!!! However, tomorrow I have to wake up early for go for a blood test (very xian....the only day I don't have to go placement and yet I can't sleep in!!!).

Nothing in particular had happened for the past few days...! So...I'll cut this entry short then...hahahaha...!!!

Sick...!!

I'm down with a flu, cough and headache at the moment! Bugger! I think it might be all the commotion that is going around for the past few days. Wern Jiunn's bday, Min Min's Bday, Impression nite, Mooncake festival etc etc...!! Been busy having fun as well as preparing for the "big events"....probably that's why my immune system is not functioning very well at the moment. Did not go for placement yesterday as I was too pale and sick to face the patients. Might cause them to have heart attack if they see my face that is so shocking sick! :P

Last Sunday was impression night.....the "NITE" that all of us has been talking about and preparing non-stop for it. Girls in our group shopped till the last minute in order to present their very best that night...!!! As far as I know, I was still deciding on what I'm supposed to do with my dress on Sunday morning (roughly about 1 in the morning)! Not only that, Wern Jiunn was polishing her nails like crazy while I was trying out on my dress!
We had this appointment with the hairdresser on Sunday morning to do our hair. Both me and WJ were the first to go. After doing our hair, we had to go and do some last minute shopping. hehehe...the two of us practically had to hide behind TH and Bert's back so that the wind does not mess our hair up. It was pretty windy that day...and if you are observant enough, you'll see two crazy gals going in and out from one shop to another trying to avoid the wind. Michelle and Joanne walked through rundall mall as if nothing had happened and don't even care of what the wind will do to their nicely done hair. I think probably me and WJ are too paranoid that our hairstyle won't stay before the event started. As we finished with our hair at about 12 noon, so we had to walk through Rundall Mall with our "pretty" hairstyle....which in turn attracted a lot of weird looks from ppl. We do get a lot of compliments from people saying that our hair looks pretty...but I do think that they are some ppl out there thinking of us being insane with such nice hairstyle and a non-matching attire----jeans!
All of us started to prepare at about 3 in the afternoon. Girls rushing here and there---applying make-up, curling hair, polishing nails, applying nail polish, sticking up crystals etc..!! TH's house was in a complete mess when we leave.......like it was being hit by a tornado.......but still....the condition of his house is better than my living room.....definately...!!! :P

Impression night this year was great. Girls looked superb...guys are smart....food and settings are better than last year....!!!! All of us had fun....!!! My camera worked hard that night.........taking heaps and heaps of pictures! After all the effort put in dressing up.....surely must take lots and lots of pictures for rememberance...right? :P hahahaha..... I liked the pictures taken that night....all of us looked fantastic in the pictures........very satisfied!!!!

After that night...I was sick immediately on Monday morning...!!! :P hehehe....dare not tell my mum that I have overexhausted myself...!!! :) Oh well.....at least I've enjoyed myself thoroughly....and that's worth it all!

Got everything ready?

Impression night is just round the corner and the people around me are basically preparing to look best on that special night..!!! My pretty housemate, Casey is not going as she will be flying of to Melbourne to see her darling tomorrow. Hai..no more porridge to eat for the next two weeks...!!! Yeah...I can eat other stuffs now...!!! hahaha...jkjk! As for the rest of the people in our gang, as far as I know is that all of us are going and we are busy searching for the best accessories to go with our outfit....except for Wern Jiunn who had bought everything that she needs ages ago...so won't need to worry about her anymore...hahaha!!! I've bought a pair of shoes today that cost me 60 bucks...the second shoes that I've bought here and it's extremely expensive compared to the shoes in Malaysia. What to do? I'll have to make my purse suffer a bit more in order to match the outfit that I've bought a few weeks back. Accessories wise, I'm still not sure on what to wear that night. Any suggestions guys? Another two days that the big day is finally here..!!! I hope to see everyone in their best their best attire..!! I predict our camera will overload that night......hehehe...especially with us being sooooooo SS....!!!!

Have been shopping for the past 3 days already....a bit sick of Rundall Mall....!! Will be heading off to Norwood tomorrow with Joanne..I think...!! Hopefully I can find something to buy there...!!!! Wish me luck!!! :)

I've received this phone call earlier on saying that my ticket to the impression night is being reimbursed. As a rep, I will definately get a ticket even though I'm not going...hurrah...that means that the 70 bucks that I've paid for the ticket previously is going to be reimbursed! yeah...that means that I have more money to spend on other stuffs...!!! Isn't that great???? I'm so happy at the moment!

Hey......I've finally got a new 3 phone already..!! It's the Sony Ericcsson one that is so much like a small digital camera!!! hahaha....got it yesterday and was playing with it the whole night! It's currently the most high tech phone that I have. It has bluetooth and infrared features....wah....first time eh!!! :) hehehe...basically I've tried to use infrared to transfer songs from my laptop to the phone...and guess what....??? It really works!!! hehehe...tried that with the old LG phone that I've lost last Thursday and that phone is really like crap..!! My laptop can detect it's existence...but can't transfer any data to it.....!! Seriously I like this Sony Ericcson phone more than the LG one...!! So satisfied that I've gotten it yesterday..!! The only bad part about it is that I have to pay more than the old phone......so...have to go on diet so that can save some money for call credits...!!! hahaha.....yeah....!!!!

Dunno what I'm typing now! :P

My new blog is set up already...all thanks to lord bert (just for this time I'm not going to call him stupid lord bert! haha)

Nothing particular had happened for the past few days except that my 3 phone is lost due to my clumsiness and Wern Jiunn's birthday on Saturday.

My 3 phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why....??? Why do I have to be so clumsy....???? now I have to pay all the remaining money for my handset and I'm looking into buying a new 3 phone...! Poor me...I think I can lose weight now......use my food money to pay for the new phone....hrm...not a bad idea!!! :) Have to go to the police station tomorrow and report lost of my 3 phone, then have to go to 3 shop and let them know that I've lost my phone so that they won't charge me extra. Then I'll have to decide on which phone to take...!!! It's going to be very busy for me tomorrow after placement!

Wern Jiunn's Bday: Started to prepare for it on Friday......will put in a new entry sometime later on what happened on Fri and Sat...!! A bit not in the mood to type it all out now..!!! I think that all of us (Casey, Teck Heng, Erbert and Joanne) did a great job in making WJ happy on her birthday...!! Well done, guys! I'm pretty glad to see WJ so happy (not to mention her being quite S) on Sat! Btw, Happy 21st Birtday Wern Jiunn!
