Hi! January is almost over and I just realised I haven't been writing much here. It's been 4 months since I arrived UK. Wow...time really does fly! I am happy to say that I'm feeling soooo much better except for the occasional emo moments when I get too stressed out, which is normal. :) My winter break was mostly spent doing nothing, watching drama, surfing the net, and talking to my family on skype. Pure bliss!
I was wishing for a white Christmas last year but it didn't snow. My Christmas plan - snuggling down in bed watching Love Actually - kind of failed too. I wasted so much time that by the time I took a shower and snuggled under my covers I was too sleepy to finish the movie. Oh, and having Snickers ice cream in bed was awesome!
A friend from Birmingham came over to visit me for a day and a half, and then it was my turn to pay him a visit. I must say, I haven't felt so at home for a looong time. I stay here alone (although I have 2 flatmates, we don't usually hang out or talk except when we bump into each other in the kitchen) so I kind of forgot how it felt like having meals with friends or just having someone to talk to. I stayed over my friend's place in Birmingham and I got to know his housemates. For 2 days, it felt sooo good to cook, eat and play together with them. I haven't laughed so much ever since I came to the UK. Then it was London! My primary school friend accompanied me throughout those 1.5 days. When I came back to Nottingham, reality sank in...loneliness came creeping back.
______________________________________________________________________________
Anyway, the above was written sometime in January. LOL It's already February! The month of L-O-V-E. Hehe...OMG, I saw snow for the first time in my life last month! I was rushing my assignment like mad in my room and then as I looked out the window the view outside took my breath away! Outside was covered in white and snowflakes were just falling slowly to the ground. The atmosphere outside was so still...as if time stood still. At that moment, I wanted to just sit there wrapped up in my fleece blanket and watch the snow fall! <3 nbsp="" p="">
So after the submission of my 2 assignments, I finally had time to just rest and not think about deadlines for a while. It was then that I realised being busy isn't a bad thing after all. It helps one to get their mind off certain things and time seems to pass by quicker when one is occupied. Finally, I can say that I finally made "peace" with where I am and what I need to do. =)
除此之外，我也学会了生命中的一门功课。很多事情不能强求，人会因时间或环境而改变。不是每个人都像自己一样那么注重或在乎一些事情。只要从另一个角度去看，那么一切会显得更清晰。还有就是凡事不要想太多，想了也不能改变什么，那何必自讨苦吃？长大了，很多事情不需太执着，要适当的放手，这样才活得轻松些。
XOXO

Good news
Wow...2 posts in 1 day. So happy that he finally found his other half!
I always thought I'd feel sad when he eventually does but...surprisingly I don't feel sad. Instead, I'm overjoyed! Wheeee! I've waited for this moment for ages...
I have a strong feeling that when I go back to Penang, everything's gonna change for the better!
Another reason to celebrate! :D

I wonder...
what would have happened if I had continued studying postgraduate in Psychology straight after my fourth year of undergraduate studies?
It's quite amazing how things turn out. I remember one thing my lecturer said...it always comes to time. Sometimes something that seems good at a time would not necessarily be a good thing when you're in the future; and something that seems so terrible at a time would turn out to be a blessing afterwards. I completely agree to that because I have experienced this myself.
I still remember in year 2011, I had a huge fight with my family and even went on a hunger strike. And I didn't even celebrate my birthday then. Needless to say, I was feeling very miserable then. So I was determined to find a job, any job be it full-time or part-time, I just needed to keep myself occupied. So I started working as a part-time retail assistant, which turned out to be the biggest blessing in my life. Not only did I get to experience working in a retail industry, I also made a group of really good friends! After more than two months, I decided I needed a change of working environment so off to XX education counselling centre I went!
Well, I have mixed feelings about my 2nd job. What I loved about it was that I only had to go to work at 11am, which allowed me to sleep in a little. And because I was still working on a part-time basis, I wasn't expected much in terms of responsibilities. To be honest, I don't remember what I did the whole 6 months there, except for I don't know...having lazy moments and fooling around with my then colleague when our seniors weren't around.
One thing that never fails to make me laugh was my first impression of my then colleague (then, because now he's my friend...sort of. lol). First day of work and my boss was introducing me to the other 2 ppl in the office and he didn't even look up. I wasn't even sure if I should say hi or just walk to my 'corner'. Felt really awkward...until one day he asked if I wanted to go out for lunch. Honestly, I kind of felt relieved because I finally got to escape my corner for a while and OMG someone to talk to! *tears of joy* I haven't talked in the office at all since I started working there. You wouldn't know how torturing it is for me, a girl who talks non-stop 24/7 and laughs randomly when thinks of something funny. I think throughout that 6 months, I did change to become a person who controls myself a lot more - think before speaking etc.
Now 1 year and 3 months later, we're still friends...in fact we kept in touch quite a lot even after I've stopped working there. Then again, this makes me wonder...if I had gone into Masters right after my bachelor's degree, I wouldn't have worked as a RA and gotten to know my friends whom I'm still in close contact with; and if I hadn't changed jobs to work at XX education counselling centre, I wouldn't have gotten to know my then colleague, right? Oh, and not forgetting...I wouldn't have gotten the chance to drive around Penang and getting to know the roads! I've learnt the existence of so many roads in Penang just because I got lost a lot!
Just 2 months ago, I was contemplating to come to the UK or to defer it to next year because I wasn't mentally prepared to leave. However, my mom was determined to get me on that plane! lol. Well I think she did the right thing, if I hadn't gotten on that plane, I don't think I'd ever get myself to. Time really does fly...it's been 2 months...soon it'd be 3 months, 4 months...and then it'd be time to pack my bags and go home! A few nights ago when I was feeling terribly sick, I had a dream. In that dream, I felt the excitement of going home....I was happily packing all my things to be shipped home. I remember that smile on my face. I was genuinely happy. But of course when I woke up, the excitement faded.
Before I forget, I think staying back in Penang in 2011 was awesome because I also got to bond better with my college friends. We weren't exactly close back in college and when one of them went to Adelaide to complete her final year of undergraduate studies, we became a little closer. But it was our wed night market outings that got us much closer. As her bf is in Manchester, we always joke about how she's in a LDR with 2 people. lol. I think I tend to think way too much, like how when I get so excited to chat with her, I can't help but wonder if she feels the same or if she feels i'm way too annoying.
Anyway, I am so thankful for many things even though my life is not perfect. I am thankful for basically everything, even the bad and the ugly, because without them I wouldn't know how to appreciate the good things in life. To everyone who makes a difference in my life - I LOVE YOU!
XOXO

好久不见
就这么一顿晚餐，就让我了解了自己多一点点。听到你说肚子饿，我就立刻驾车去见你。但是听到你说要走，虽然是用开玩笑的语气，我却说不出什么想挽留你的话。驾着、驾着就觉得如果世界上有女生版的大男人，那会是我 - 大女人。心里是多么的在乎和关心你，表面却是冷漠无情。若能够能找到《我可能不会爱你》的李大仁那该多好！虽然程又青是多么的骄傲和霸道，李大仁还是痴痴地爱着她、关心她。
说起来，也有好一段时间没联络和见面。虽然说见面是有，但是都是跟一大班人出去，要好好聊天叙旧的机会也没有。今天总算能够好好的跟你坐下来吃顿饭聊天，那种感觉真的很好。看着你讲笑话时露出小男生的表情，让我开怀大笑！而且你每次跟我说某部电影的故事的认真表情，哈哈！！！
真的谢谢你走进我的世界，你总是这么真诚的待人。我做了这么多令人讨厌的事，你还是这么耐心的对我。你这位好朋友，我想永远保留在我身边。
XOXO,
Me

身为朋友......
......很多时候我不知道该对你说什么才好。虽然你说只希望有个人聆听你诉苦，但是看到你这副憔悴又沮丧的模样就真的有点难受。
我明白不管我说什么也没用，因为我一点也不了解你的感受。你问我，为什么你身边的人都不说点正面的话，其实他们也不是故意说负面的，只是你现在的心情就是听不进去任何的话。
你早已经明白很多事情，只是迟迟无法放开、前进，为的是你们之间有实在太多回忆让你爱不释手。所以，我已停止问你你好不好。我知道当你需要我这个朋友聆听的时候你自然会找我.....我总怕说错话，让你更难过。
你说你多希望像我单身快乐、无忧无虑的。但是你不知道单身的我烦恼还真多，哈哈！我看起来快乐，也许是我铁石心肠吧！我一旦决定的事情，就不会再多逗留一会儿。虽然内心很痛苦，还是很理智的活下去！我不想因为一些事情而影响了我所可以得到的未来，我绝对不能对不起我自己还有爱我的家人。
很多时候我好想狠狠骂醒你，但我了解你自己也不想这样。况且我没有真正的失恋过，所以没有资格骂你。你现在需要的是时间......让时间冲淡一切，让你习惯没有她的日子。我相信在世界某个角落，你的真爱正在那里耐心地等你。那么你也要慢慢调回你的心情，重拾自己为你那未来的女人做好准备。在你遇到她的时候，你会看回去谢谢今天的她。如果不是今天的她，你也不会遇到她。
她说得对，也许以后还会有机会在一起。那么你可以把这句话存放在心里，抱着希望放手。如果真的在一起了，至少你没有浪费你的生命做些无聊的事；就算没在一起，也至少你已准备迎接新的恋情。

Second post of the year
You guys must be wondering why on earth am I updating so often. LOL Well, one of the reasons being that classes haven't officially started & I've got plenty of time on my hands.
For the past few months, I've been doing alot of thinking. Not deliberately, but as usual, a female's brain is constantly at work no matter what time of day. =P Last November I befriended an Australian guy at the library while I was photocopying some pages for an assignment. The whole situation was pretty bizarre actually because if I had chosen to go to the library early during the day I wouldn't have bumped into him. So anyway, to cut the loooong story short, after asking for his name, & not to forget, & last name, I went searching for him on Facebook. Much to my surprise, I found him! Being the bold girl I was, I sent him a private message. From then on, I don't know what happened, we were constantly exchanging messages on Facebook.
I wonder if our friendship would have ever blossomed if I hadn't made the first move. Here comes the complicated part. When I tell friends about my newfound friend, W, the first thing that comes to their mind would be, "ohhhh...there must be a romantic association somewhere..." I don't blame them as it is quite an Asian thing to think/say BUT what bothers me is that whenever I voice out my intention to ask W out (for a meal/drink), my friends would exclaim in unison "let him make the first move!"
See? What does this all mean? W & I are just normal friends, no romantic association whatsoever, so what does it matter who makes the first move? So, as we grow up, our friendship with the opposite sex has to be dicatated by the "social rules" people impose on romantic relationships? So does that mean that as adults we should not be seen together with someone of the opposite sex cause it would create much hooha? Is it even possible to have a really close opposite-sex friend? I used to believe that it is possible but slowly as time goes by I get influenced by the cynism of this "adult world" that I'm still trying to fit into.
Right now, part of me wishes that classes would start soon so that my mind would be occupied by studies instead of thinking nonsense, which isn't exactly nonsense when you think about it. The past 3 years have been a self-seeking journey as I continue to understand myself better. No one in this world can confidently say that he or she knows a person inside out 100%, not even the person himself.
So, these questions will still be left unanswered until, maybe at some point, life decides to do me a favour by answering them.
Next post will be on friendships.
p/s: Feel free to voice out your experience/opinions. =)
XOXO,
Lin

Very very quick update =D
Since I'm taking a short break from my Advanced Research Methods assignment, I'd just type a quick update.
Most of you may not know this: I used to keep a collection of wedding dresses in my computer, just simply because I love to admire them! & when my cousin sister got married, I was looking for wedding gowns too, sorta to help her get an idea of what she wants in a dress. So while searching, I saved quite a few too. But due to this stupid computer repair man (because I told him to not do anything before letting me know what the problem with the computer is) who deleted ALL my files from the computer, I lost ALL my pics, from 2004 up till 2006! I felt devastated...it felt like all my memories have been erased. Pictures from my high school graduation were gone too! Argh! Anyway, back to the topic. Yeah...so my wedding gown pics were deleted too (obviously).
Yesterday, while talking to GF on skype during dinner time, I had a sudden urge to look for wedding gowns online (or it could just be an excuse for not doing assignment =P). I came across 2 gowns that were quite simple & elegant, so I sent her th URLs & asked her to go have a look. This was how our conversation went:-
Me: Wei! I sent you a link...go check the dress out!
GF: OK OK...hmm...this one not bad. The model also quite flat-chested ma...so I think it wouldn't be a problem for you la to wear strapless dresses.
Me: What flat-chested?! The model is NOT flat-chested OK?!
*fast forward*
I sent her the 2nd link & asked her to go have a look.
GF: Erm...aiya, later I see la...I'm eating!
Me: Eeyer!! Why you like that wan?! Help me choose wedding dresses also don't want!
GF: ROTFL Wah...if really your wedding, I don't care if I'm eating lo, I sure help you choose wan! But this...LOL...Please la..not even your wedding! Choose what choose huh?!
Me: =.= I hate you!! Ish!
Can't remember word for word la, but I think that's about what we actually said. ROTFL We're always so random.
Oh..& we proceeded to imagine scenes of us going to pick out wedding dresses when my husband-to-be happens to be busy with his work. XD Damn funny...This is how we imagine it:
(H is my husband)
H: Hey darling, sorry I'm hooked up with some business at work. Is it OK if you go pick the wedding dress yourself? I'm so sorry.
Me: Oh! Busy?! No no no no...it's fine! I'll just go pick out the dress with GF! Have fun at work!
(calles GF)
Me: Wei!!!! H is busy at work! Let's go shop for wedding dresses!!!
LMAO
This is a totally random post. Now you see what assignments can do to a poor girl. T_T Help!! I hate assignments!

Not creative
I must admit that though I proclaim myself as a creative person, I might not be creative in certain aspects, eg. coming up with a post title. LOL
Hehehe...I'm so happy I feel like droplets of happiness are raining down on me! XD Ermm...I don't know where to start. My thoughts are all over the place.
This issue had been lingering on my mind for almost 3 weeks now since that incident & every time I think of it, I'd experience palpitations & sweaty palms (or they could be due to a combination of factors, such as meeting deadlines etc.). LOL
Anyway, at the end of March, I was chatting with my HK classmate, A, on MSN. I owed her AUD191 for textbooks because I forgot to transfer money into my freedom account. =S Usually I'd return my friends their money via online transaction if it's a big amount because the thought of carrying a lot of cash in my wallet kind of scares me. So I asked for her account no. through MSN, which I've done a million times! I copied & pasted the account no. in the blank space that says "Payee's Account Number" & hit the Transfer button. Done! Or at least that was what I thought. =S
A few days later (beginning of April), A said that she hasn't received the transaction. o.O WHAT?! How is that possible?! After checking with her the account no. once again, she said that wasn't her account no.! Like...wtf! Then whose account the hell did I transfer the money to?! Ahhhhh! AUD191 is not a small amount of money! It's like almost RM500! =.= I had to rush to the city, run back & forth between BankSA & Commonwealth Bank (A's bank), desparate to find a solution to the problem! Finally a staff at BankSA was really helpful, she helped me call the Internet Banking staff to explain my situation. When she passed the phone to me, the Internet Banking staff told me that it would take 4-6 weeks for the transaction to occur.
=P Today, I had a sudden compulsion to check how much I have left in my freedom student account & confusion came over me when I saw that the amount was more than it should be...because...obviously, I've been spending money from that account. =S A click on the Transaction History button & I swore that I heard happy music playing in the background as if my life had a soundtrack! XD That 3 digits I've been waiting for for the past 1 month! AUD191! I was just talking to A yesterday about it & she told me to call up the Internet Banking staff to give them a push. I guess I don't have to now! Ahhh...Thank You, Lord! ^^ It seems like I didn't have to worry after all.
Today's 2nd of May...oh my how time flies! 3 more days to the much-dreaded day. Yest at OCF when K asked me what my birthday wish was, the only thought that came to mind was "going home". So I said "My wish would be being able to teleport myself home whenever I want". When J asked me what I'm planning for my birthday, I simply said "no plans", & she didn't believe me when I said that my 21st birthday is not a big deal. *sigh* Well, to be honest, it used to be. But now...it came too soon & at the wrong time too, when all my work is piling up. =(
Being my usual self, I love to think. While taking my shower a few days ago, I suddenly had a thought. How nice would it be if I could just disappear from the face of the Earth for one day (or maybe a few days)! If i had vanished into thin air, would anyone notice? Would anyone be thinking of me? Would anyone be bothering to look for me? Hmmm...I would love to try that one day, being able to just be in my own world. *dreams*
Did I mention that today's weather is just great?! It's so sunny! Ah...the sun makes me happy. =D Please please let this be the end of rainy + gloomy days.
Reminder to self: Make the most out of the days you're here! Appreciate your friends here because they play a big part of your life here too! =)
Hmm, this is rather a wordy post. LOL oh well, I'll end this post with a picture I took last November when I had lunch at Pancake House with J2. Was drinking my banana malt shake when this appeared on the inside rim of the glass. When I showed this to J2, she said, "It could be a sign!" XP
Could this be a sign? XP

It's like almost RM500! =.= I had to rush to the city, run back & forth between BankSA & Commonwealth Bank (A's bank), desparate to find a solution to the problem! Finally a staff at BankSA was really helpful, she helped me call the Internet Banking staff to explain my situation. When she passed the phone to me, the Internet Banking staff told me that it would take 4-6 weeks for the transaction to occur.
=P Today, I had a sudden compulsion to check how much I have left in my freedom student account & confusion came over me when I saw that the amount was more than it should be...because...obviously, I've been spending money from that account. =S A click on the Transaction History button & I swore that I heard happy music playing in the background as if my life had a soundtrack! XD That 3 digits I've been waiting for for the past 1 month! AUD191! I was just talking to A yesterday about it & she told me to call up the Internet Banking staff to give them a push. I guess I don't have to now! Ahhh...Thank You, Lord! ^^ It seems like I didn't have to worry after all.
Today's 2nd of May...oh my how time flies! 3 more days to the much-dreaded day. Yest at OCF when K asked me what my birthday wish was, the only thought that came to mind was "going home". So I said "My wish would be being able to teleport myself home whenever I want". When J asked me what I'm planning for my birthday, I simply said "no plans", & she didn't believe me when I said that my 21st birthday is not a big deal. *sigh* Well, to be honest, it used to be. But now...it came too soon & at the wrong time too, when all my work is piling up. =(
Being my usual self, I love to think. While taking my shower a few days ago, I suddenly had a thought. How nice would it be if I could just disappear from the face of the Earth for one day (or maybe a few days)! If i had vanished into thin air, would anyone notice? Would anyone be thinking of me? Would anyone be bothering to look for me? Hmmm...I would love to try that one day, being able to just be in my own world. *dreams*
Did I mention that today's weather is just great?! It's so sunny! Ah...the sun makes me happy. =D Please please let this be the end of rainy + gloomy days.
Reminder to self: Make the most out of the days you're here! Appreciate your friends here because they play a big part of your life here too! =)
Hmm, this is rather a wordy post. LOL oh well, I'll end this post with a picture I took last November when I had lunch at Pancake House with J2. Was drinking my banana malt shake when this appeared on the inside rim of the glass. When I showed this to J2, she said, "It could be a sign!" XP
Could this be a sign? XP

Hello world! *warning* super long post ahead!
I've been MIA due to a series of events that have happened in the last week. In conjunction with the last post entitled "Monday Morning", I was to type a post entitled "Tuesday Morning" because something happened that morning (obviously!) but I kept putting it off till today.
Tuesday 7th April
I woke up early as usual. Went to the kitchen to cook some rolled oats. Did I mention that the bananas here are so unpredictable? LOL I mean, I bought some unripe bananas & to make sure they last longer, I put them into the fridge to slow the ripening process. I thought it was about time I ate them because they've been in the fridge for more than a week. That morning I decided to eat them with rolled oats BUT when I peeled one of the bananas, it was still not ripe! Did I tell you that I absolutely hate eating unripe bananas?! Besides the fact that they're not sweet, I hate the texture of an unripe banana. *sigh* So I thought I'd put my new jar of honey into good use.
I opened the kitchen cupboard (where we keep our food supply) & reached for my jar of honey. I had a lot on my mind then, one of them being the arrival of 2 of my primary school mates the next day. I was quite excited as I didn't expect time to fly by so fast! I turned to J while still reaching for the honey, & said, "oh my gosh...I can't believe that (my friends will be arriving tomorrow)" [Just so you know, I didn't manage to finish the words in brackets] Just that split second, I heard a loud piercing crash. I looked down & there it was - that bottle of fried onions my mom made for me to bring back to Adelaide had fallen & broken into smithereens at my feet. I was stunned for a moment. It almost felt like my heart, too, had broken into pieces. I was angry with myself there & then. Why did I put the bottle so near to the edge of the shelf?! Why didn't I focus on just reaching for that damn honey?! I had no one but myself to blame. =( Since Feb until that Tuesday morning, I've only used the fried onions twice. TWICE!! Oh, I really wanted to cry. It was like the only thing I had of mommy. Well, maybe not, since I have a bottle of fried garlic...but still...that bottle of fried onions was a symbol of mommy's love & effort. I still remember her chopping onions & frying them just a few days before I left Penang. ='( What a way to start my day. Was in a bad mood after that. Even the oats didn't taste as good as usual. Wanted to talk to mommy so badly. I did, eventually. & it made my day. The conversation was as follows:
Me: Mommy!!! I'm soooo sad!
Mom: Oh, why?! What happened?!
Me: *SIGH* This morning when I was reaching for my jar of honey inside the cupboard, I accidentally broke the bottle of fried onions when it fell onto the floor!
Mom: Oh...I thought what pulak?! See la? You treat it so preciously, now the floor gets to eat it...haha...Nevermind la, I'll make another bottle for you, you can try asking your friend to bring it back for you in July if any of them comes back to Penang.
Me: OH! Yeah hoh?! OK! I'll ask my friend. =D
I felt better instantly! ^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday 8th April
The day I've been waiting for! I guess the reason I was so excited was I don't think any of my friends, in their right state of mind, would ever visit Adelaide! Besides that, it was the company that I looked forward to. At least I'd have people whom I'm familiar with around. That afternoon, I met up with JM after lecture to get my "present" (hehe~) & we had chicken rice at the Penang Hawker Centre. It's always good to have lunch with JM because we always share a meal + she's very funny. =D L & S have already reached Adelaide but they were at Glenelg, so I thought I'd go home & rest first before going out with them for dinner.
Took this while waiting for the bus
I was super excited to have good company & good food! We settled for Italian food at Brunelli on Rundle Street.
Us at Brunelli
The spaghetti was yummy but the pizza was just so-so. Nonetheless, we had a great time catching up. Ermm...I think I'd give L & S a short introduction. Haha. I was in the same class with L for 3 years from Standard 1. As for S, I was in the same primary & high school with her but we weren't close. I had neutral feelings towards her. I lost contact with L since primary school because he (oh, forgot to mention it's a he) went to a boys' school after that. We only met again in Feb 2007, before I came to Adelaide. After that, I met him again in December 2008 (wait, or was it in January 2009?). The amazing thing is that though L & I haven't seen/talked to each other for so long, we instantly clicked when we met up in 2007. Was & still am glad that we keep in touch since then. =) S was being her usual talkative self. It was good...no awkward moments, besides all 4 "girls" were from the same school so we had LOADS to talk about. From mutual friends to mutual friends' boyfriends to our own ideal boyfriends. LOL Ahhh...Been deprived of girl talk for ages! We continued our girly chat (with a guy around...haha) at Chocolate Bean.
Shared Chocolate Filth @ Chocolate Bean
Spent hours there. I wished that time could just standstill. Caught a bus home at 12:05am with L. Oh, L stayed over at my place. Come to think of it, I was a really bad host. I had my guest sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor. He was on a holiday & he had to sleep on a hard floor.
Thursday 9th April
Ah...Thursday morning was a busy one! My cousin had his friend bring back supplements from Penang for me & I was supposed to get to his restaurant to collect it. I woke up early but was wasting my time away. Saw GF online on skype, ended up talking for almost an hour. Realised it was late, so we hung up. I rushed to the city to catch a bus to Glen Osmond, where the restaurant was located, then right after collecting my stuff, I caught a bus back to the city & then and another bus back to Magill (where my campus is & where I stay), all of that in 2 hours! Reached Magill in time for my 1pm class! I was exhausted when I reached Magill. Finished class at 4pm that day. Met up with S, L, KT & sis for dinner! This time we had dinner at a Korean restaurant on Leigh Street. Funny how we ended up ordering 2 beef dishes & 2 pork dishes. There seemed to be endless topics when we're together. I fell asleep while we were watching Spirited Away as I've watched it before & I had a loooong day. Managed to wake up for the ending. LOL That night L & I caught the 12:05am bus back home for the 2nd time.
Friday 10th April
Ahh..Easter holidays are finally here! But I had an online test that day, so I had to re-revise the stuff I already revised to refresh my memory before taking the test. That morning, L & S had gone to Victor Harbour. While doing my revision, GF came online on skype! LOL Yeah yeah, ended up talking to her for 4 hours. XD Even talked to her while having lunch. We always have so much to talk about it's unbelievable! Then again almost dinner time, I caught up with S, L, KT & sis for dinner, this time at Pancake House.
Can't remember what this is called =S
Dutch chocolate pancakes
Cajun chicken
After that all of us crashed at KT & sis's place. I fell almost fell asleep watching Howl's Moving House. Managed to keep myself awake by noticing lame stuff with S (Eg. how ugly the guy's earrings were). XD
Saturday 11th April
The day I've been dreading since 8th of April. Yes, the departure of S & L. I totally hate goodbyes. I know I can still meet them in Penang, but I have to wait for ages to do that. Besides, their departure also means that I'd have to face reality (start on assignments), which makes it even more depressing. Today L & I were awake at the same time, so we decided to take a walk to my campus, which is just 5 mins walk away. OMG, that day was so hot, both of us were desparately looking for a shed to stand under. XP As L didn't have any plans before 11:30am, we decided to catch an earlier bus to the city to walk around & talk. After gathering at KT's place, we went to have lunch at Billy Baxter's!
My hot chocolate
*fast forward*
Accompanied S & L to the airport. Upon arrival, S found out her flight had been delayed to the same time as L's. LOL Another opportunity to sit down & talk! We got ourselves a Hudson's each & made ourselves comfortable on the sofas provided. *fast forward* Time for them to board. Oh how I hated that moment! Hugged them goodbye & as I was walking towards where were came from, I turned around & saw both of them following from behind. Eh? They realised that the bag of Haigh's Chocolates S was holding onto was gone! I think if someone was there with a camcorder recording it, it'd be a funny video to watch. We were all so 惊慌失措! But good thing L asked the staff at the checkpoint & they took the bag of chocolates out from one of the drawers. =D S was super relieved, after thanking the staff, we hugged goodbye once more & I didn't dare turn back this time, in fear I might just breakdown in front of all the people at the airport. =/ Hah...but guess what?! I didn't cry, though I was the only person on the bus. I just thought that I should count my blessings that I still keep in touch with my primary school friends! ^^ Aren't you guys just proud of me? LOL I think positive for once. Had yummy tom yam for dinner at KT's place. That night...I caught the bus home alone...it felt very different...like something missing...but, I guess life's like this. Sometimes you just have to be alone to grow up.
Sunday 12th April
The moment I opened my eyes, I felt like I just got sucked into a deep black hole. Reality hit me on the head, real HARD. I was all alone again. No more L sleeping in the sleeping bag on the floor. No more having to tip-toe into the bathroom. Everything was just how it was before. A little weird I must say. Anyway, life is full of separations. So yeah..life goes on. I got out of bed...cooked some oats...washed some grapes...added them to the cooked oats...was eating them in front of my computer...when suddenly, I felt that familiar pain. I decided to ignore it & continued eating my oats but the pain got worse & worse. Argh! Bed...all I need is a nap & the pain would just go away, like it always does. After napping for an hour, the pain was gone...but I've already missed my bus to church. So I decided to stay home, which I am thankful for because the pain came back after lunch! By now you should have guessed what it was. Yes, the time of the month. *SIGH* No sweat right? Everytime I take naps, eat/drink warm stuff, keep myself warm etc. the pain just subsides. With the hormonal imbalance, pain & the departure the day before, I broke down...cried myself to sleep. Especially at times like these I miss home so much! Everything just didn't feel right.
Monday 13th April
I woke up feeling like a truck just rammed over me. Almost felt like a hangover (well, I'm just guessing hangovers feel like that...never had one). Talked to my parents after breakfast, thinking that my menstrual cramps episode was over. Little did I know, there was something in store for me...For the whole of Monday, I had diarrhea! Argh! Into the bathroom, out of the bathroom, in again...out. I felt so drained & weak. Those who say they love diarrhea because they wanna lose weight, I tell you this - You'd probably die before you achieve your ideal weight. I kid you not. Did you know that if you're a pregnant woman, you could have a miscarriage if you experience serious diarrhea?! Stop & think for a second. I stayed in bed the whole day, only got out of bed when I needed to you-know-what. =.= Had oats & crackers for lunch. It tasted so bland I felt like puking. Was my turn to cook fish so I thought, "I'll cook fish porridge...love it when mommy cooks it". Called my mom to ask her how to cook etc. Well, needless to say...I think the fish porridge I cooked just tasted horrible/terrible (couldn't decide on which adjective is worse). It was hard to cover the fishy smell & I think I marinated the fish with too much soy sauce. It tasted soooo salty I gagged at every mouthful. =S Being sick is already bad enough, having to take care of everything when you're sick is even worse! I really really felt like crying there & then! Now I understand what Karen Cheng meant by The Hormonal Illness, it's just that the only difference is I'm not pregnant. Hah..Imagine what it'd be like if I was pregnant! From Friday till Monday, I've laughed & cried countless times. I cried while watching a video PQ posted on her blog in conjunction with the post on Imperfectness Made Perfect; also cried while watching a video J sent me thru e-mail on how people from some parts of the world eat food scraps of people from other parts of the world; cried again reading a blog post XC recommended. I nearly laughed a** off when I watched a video (not sure if you can open it) one of my primary school mates recorded & posted on Facebook; I also laughed when I opened YY's forwarded e-mail entitled Naughty Banana & saw this:
Tuesday 14th April
Hmm...nothing much happened on that day. Thank God the number of times I needed to go to the bathroom reduced dramatically. LOL Went out to buy some "sick food" supply. Cooked chicken porridge that night. Yummy! ^^
Chicken porridge
p/s: I started typing this post on Sunday night & finally finished now. phew! That was a looooong post!
XOXO,
Me

WHAT IS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE?!
This is related to the previous post as you can see...I blogged TWICE in a day because people just refuse to understand!
Well, got to find out about his news from a friend, another friend had to make my blood boil. So, I feel like an idiot, a fool, a clown, (insert whatever nouns that describe someone who's living in their own ideal world thinking that everyone is their friend, not even knowing that maybe they're laughing at them behind your back)!
When I think that I'm starting to form strong bonds with people, people just disappoint me to the core! Seriously! Why is it that I'm always the last to find out things?! I think you guys think I'd be sad and drown myself in tears or something but guess what?! I'm only weak if I let myself be. I'm tough OK?! I can take whatever you throw at me...I don't care.
You think news like THAT can break me apart?! Yeah, I admit that I almost cried when I found out BUT it's not like it's end of the world. I'll get over it...faster than you know. Believe it or not, I have already moved on. I'm so disappointed I don't know what to say...
I'm so angry I feel like crying to let out all of my anger! Argh!
Disappointed,
Me

You think news like THAT can break me apart?! Yeah, I admit that I almost cried when I found out BUT it's not like it's end of the world. I'll get over it...faster than you know. Believe it or not, I have already moved on. I'm so disappointed I don't know what to say...
I'm so angry I feel like crying to let out all of my anger! Argh!
Disappointed,
Me
Who am I to you?
Obviously you don't treat me as a friend like you said you do. Friends tell friends stuff...even though you might think that it's unnecessary. But...finding out stuff from another friend is like a slap in the face. Even though so many times I've asked you about how you feel, you always laugh & say "There's nothing wrong" or "Why do you keep asking me this?" I guess I knew you too well, I know that deep inside you have something against me. You make peace with me because you're forced to by your friends. I have known all along that you do not want to have anything to do with me. I should've trusted my instincts & avoided you but part of me thinks that I think too much.
So I was having my lunch - Tuna sandwich with cheese + avocado - & I decided to catch up with a friend on Skype. As usual, I wanted to know what's happening back in Penang & with our mutual friends. Well, I was right all along...he's finally attached.
When I found out myself weeks ago, I was at my uni computer pool. Though the attachment hasn't been confirmed, I walked to my lecture room, trying to hold back the tears. I knew that it was really THE time to move on. The pieces to a puzzle have already arranged in place. No matter how you rearrange, the pieces wouldn't fit as perfectly. It took almost a week for me to slowly accept that fact. When I finally recovered from the heartache, I scolded myself for acting the way I did. It was all because of my selfishness.
Today, my reaction was totally different from when I first found out. I didn't feel anything. I just felt a little angry because when I talked to him a few weeks ago, I asked him if there's anything he wanted to tell me but he said no, which was kind of expected. I don't know what to say anymore. All I can do is to congratulate u on ur attachment & I hope that when my time comes, you'll do the same for me.
XOXO,
Me

She's the man
First of all, this blog post has absolutely nothing to do with the movie "She's the Man". I just couldn't think of a decent post title.
Anyway, I've been meaning to blog about my 2nd week of uni but I change my mind since I lost the magic moment to blog adee. LOL & I realised that I haven't blogged about my February. So...yup, this post is about what I did in February, before I came back to Adelaide.
Hopefully, looking through the pics I took in February won't stimulate my tear glands, causing a massive downpour.
1st February
So, the 1st day of February, the whole family went out for dinner @ Manila Place on a Sunday night because brother was gonna leave on Wednesday that week. It was also the 1st time having dinner out as a whole family since my brother came back for 3 weeks. Usually we would have dinner at home. It was really great...finally the 4 of us reunited. No more feeling like an only child XP However, bro was leaving soon & I was gonna leave 11 days after that. Argh...I totally hate having a concoction of emotions. *bleh*
4th February
The day before Sue's departure, us Disted girls (of a different group) decided to have 1 last hangout @ Gurney Plaza. We got to catch up over lunch & express our feelings about leaving Penang. It was all good...At least I know that there are people out there who truly know how I feel. =) They are the people whom I hung out more during the summer holidays & I'm glad I did.
5th February
Hmm...I dunno where to start with this one. LOL I first got to "know" HY during CNY in 2008. Didn't really talk much to her as I felt a lil strange being around C's friends. Funny thing was, I mentioned to C that I was a little intimidated by HY & what do u know?! He asked HY & YY out in December to have dinner together with us & *zap* I dunno what happened along the way. I started going out with them more & when YY went back to study in Perlis, HY & I met up for a movie - Underworld 3. We had a gr8 time watching the movie & having lunch at Kim Gary after that. I guess 1st impressions aren't always accurate. ;) Good thing C asked them out for dinner in December. If not for him, I wouldn't have gotten to know a new friend, would I?
7th February
My baby boy went back to Singapore with his grandparents (my aunt + uncle). ='(
10th February
Since I got to know KT in 1999, we've been kinda close ever since. By close I mean, talking about anything in the world with each other. & of course when I found out that she was coming to study in Adelaide, I could not express how thrilled I was! Having someone you know for aeons here is definitely the best thing in the world! So we hung out alot in Adelaide, mostly during the holidays though. I'm not sure if I've blogged about this before. One time, when we went hiking at the Botanical Gardens, I almost died. I shall save that for another day. XD Anyway, we've been planning to go hiking for ages so I decided to just go ahead with the plan before I came back to Adelaide (she left almost a week after I did). Hehe...That's us...hiking & camwhoring along the way.
14th February
The day that every couple (or rather just the girls with bfs) has been waiting for. Well, since my friends & I are still single, we thought why not celebrate it among ourselves?! Ruth, YF & I headed to the Northam Beach Cafe for our dinner. Hmmm...I think we had ikan panggang, lasagne (with soup & dessert [omg the dessert!!]), muar chee...omg I can't remember! =S All I remember is that the food was yummy & we left with filled stomachs. LOL Happy Belated Valentine's Day girls! =D
15th February
After planning for sooo long, SM, XY & I finally met up! Too bad HN & SH couldn't make it though. =( We first became close in...let's see...2004. We were in the same group doing the SPM Additional Mathematics project. & the rest is history. XD I'm always glad that I get to keep in touch with old friends because nothing compares to them! Well, not that new friends are not good, it's just that old friends have known you longer & have probably been through a lot with u in those years that u've been friends.
18th February
The day before my dreaded day. Despite having to leave the next day, Shaun, Ruth & I met up for lunch at Kim Gary. & after that, we headed to PAH to visit Pras who has been admitted there.
That's pras, with Shaun Jr. Shaun made while waiting to visit her. LOL
19th February
I dun even know what to "say" here. I was dreading this day for almost a week even though I knew I had to face reality. Well...let's just say I managed to put up a brave front & held back the tears that have been desparate to flow. Besides, for the first time in 2 years (1st time not counted as mom went to Adelaide with me), I had a friend to keep me company during the flight. So it wasn't that bad...until I reached Adelaide & stepped into my room of course.
There you go, this is a post on what I did in February.

Yoohoo!
This is an overdue post! I can finally drive! =D But...the sad thing is that the P sticker on my mom's car has been there for almost 5 years now. =P & it will only be taken down in 2011, when I turn 23! *gasps* o.O
My parents wouldn't let me drive alone...YET. So here's a pic of me with my driving license! ;)
p/s: to those who have already left Pg, know that I'm missing you here. =)
XOXO,

Feeling low
The moment I opened my eyes this morning, I had this sudden feeling of sadness. As usual, I don't know how to describe what I feel. Because sadness is a little too strong, maybe? I just feel this heavy rock pressing down on me, refusing to let me even catch my breath. I think I know why I'm feeling this way.
Last night was Ur last night being in Penang & I suddenly thought we kind of wasted so much time bickering instead of catching up with 1 another properly. We always never take each other seriously though both of us know that we're friends to each other. But yesterday night was different. As we had that conversation, I realised I have not been how a good friend should have been. This time, U listen as I speak & U don't tease/insult me like U used to. U said U are not sure when U'll be back & I felt for U as U shared Ur thoughts with me. I couldn't do/say anything that would make everything right because I know I'm not in control of the situation. U are a nice person, U really are & I am glad to have known U even though U annoy the hell out of me to no end (sometimes)!
Ironic, isn't it? How I got to know U & now we can talk about anything. *sigh* So U've left this morning. Then next week, it would be R's turn to go. Life is always filled with separations & I don't think I'll ever get used to them. Many a times I thought I'd never cry but I guess I never really knew myself. I've become too sentimental, too emotional. In the year 2008, I've cried many times over dunno-what reasons. But everytime after that, I'd feel a LOT better. I still need to learn to accept the fact that everything in life is not always permanent & that people come & go in our lives.
This year would be different, I'm sure of it! 2 of my friends would be going to Adelaide, which means I won't be lonely anymore! Then in June, another friend, W, would be going over too! Double weeee!! =D I should be looking on the bright side eh?

My summer hols December 2008
5th December 2008
Friends I got to know during Disted-Stamford days fetched me from the airport to surprise my parents whom didn't have a clue (or so I thought) that I was reaching that night. I would say that the surprise was kinda successful. =P

8th December 2008
Had sardine + cucumber for breakfast since ages! Home sweet home!! <3
Had a trim & decided that I should try giving myself bangs so that I look younger than my age. =D
9th December 2008
Finally! After 9 months of cooking on my own, I got to taste my mom's yummy bak moy!
11th December 2008
Mom made Jawa mee, which was comparable to the ones sold at hawker centres but healthier!
15th December 2008
Had dim sum for breakfast @ Bali Hai with Prasana & Ruth. OH boy, you wouldn't know how much we laughed that day. All because of those funny-looking geoduck, fishes with kissable-looking "lips", escaping spider lobsters etc.
Had pizza for dinner with mommy & papa @ Pizza Hut.
17th December 2008
Disted girls' lunch out @ Manhattan Fish Market
18th December 2008
Had dinner @ Sakae Sushi with C & his gang or as he calls it - OUR gang. LOL
19th December 2008
Celebrated Wai Che's birthday at Sakae Sushi the next day & I met PQ "unofficially" there! XP We were planning to meet up & I've met her here! =) The whole table was surrounded by progesterone-rich beings. XP Later that night, we had KFC for dinner at Wai Che's place, courtesy of her parents. It was really fun, getting to know some Union girls & really enjoyed the bonding session except the fact that I got an irritating eye later that night. =(
21st December 2008
Had a really great meet-up with Pei Qi, my pre-school friend. She blogged about our outing here. Pai seh, I'm trying to summarise my whole December into 1 blog post. =P
On the same day, at night, I had dinner with my aunt's family + "my baby boy" @ a hawker food centre opposite Super Tanjung. Got to eat curry mee! =D
After that, met up with some of the OCFers who are from Penang & also Chloe who was going to go back to KL the next day.
24th December 2008
Christmas Eve! Remember my dilemma? I decided to spend Christmas Eve at my friend, PQ's church! =) Half of me wondered how it would have been if I went out with the other group of friends, but I guess every decision made is of a reason. I got to spend time with PQ & got to know BX more. I am happy to say that I did not regret my decision. ;)
25th December 2008
Had Christmas lunch at Prasana's place! Her mom & herself prepared various types of yummy food! Had fun catching up with Disted friends too...Everyone commented on how I still laugh like a horse & that I should go to a turf club for a date in the future so that my guy wouldn't suspect anything if he hears me laugh. He'll think it's just one of the horses.
29th December 2008
Met up with Yon Lynn, my high school friend! Haven't seen her since beginning of 2007, before I left for Adelaide. She's still as crazy as ever & never fails to crack me up! XD
30th December 2008
Had breakfast @ Mr. Pot with Alicia, whom I've known since primary school. We had a good time catching up with each other's lives overseas. Glad we're still keeping in touch after all these years!
31st December 2008
The fantastic 4 reunites with a new member (JM's sis)! The 4 of us bought the global warming shirt beginning of last year.
Later that night, I decided that maybe I should give OUR group of friends a chance. LOL That day, I finally learnt a way to face annoying people! XP & thus, my new year resolution would be to keep that up. Hehe~
So, that's all for December, will update about January soon, I hope. =P No promises. Anyway, I know this is a little too late, but Happy New Year! May you guys have a blessed year ahead! ;)
p/s: Taking my driving test this Monday, pray for me! =S

"Spring" Cleaning
It's that time of the year again when I sneeze non-stop because of the thick layer of dust that covers my entire room!
Last year, my attempt to clear out the mess in my room failed because I was being too sentimental. I ended up keeping most of the stuff. Today, I finally got my butt off the computer chair & tidied my room. Not that my room needed tidying, since my mom tidied it for me before I came home but alot of stuff needed to be disposed of.
Looking through stacks of college lecture notes & exercises, memories flooded my mind again. Those were the days...During that year, I've loved & lost. That year, I realised that I didn't have to be insecure about myself. That year, I learnt that competing against oneself is the most important thing, not with others. That year, I also learnt that some people can be selfish, even though they're your friends. That year, I realised that after that year, we'd all be going our separate ways, pursuing our dreams...which made me feel a little depressed because that year would end in a blink of an eye! That year also opened my eyes to girls who lead lives like Barbie dolls - thick make up, branded handbags, latest gadgets, perfect hair, high heels that match their clothes & "perfect" boyfriends. It was then that I realised I didn't wanna be one of them. Of course, not forgetting that that year was the year I made many great friends! Friends that would last a lifetime...well, mayb not some...but yeah.
I've been struggling with throwing away sentimental "junk" but...BUT guess what?! I finally set my mind to it! Before throwing something away, I'd ask myself, "Would I still be using it in 6 months' time? Would it still be useful a year from now?" & if the answers to those 2 questions are "No", then they ought to be disposed of. I'll post up a picture of the box of junk I've thrown away =P Am very proud of myself though I feel a little "bu she de". =S No use holding on to possessions right?

Can't believe today's already Christmas eve. The eve of Christ's birthday. Time really passes by too quickly. The photos I've been organising since I came home are left unorganised because of some missing photos. *sigh* Though a bunch of ppl have asked me out on Christmas eve, I'm still in a dilemma on whether I should go. Really torn apart. I mean, I don't mind spending time with them but I can't help but feel a little suspicious about their intentions. Then again, I don't have any plans tonight. A friend asked me to attend her church if I have nothing to do. Aiyo...I hate making such decisions! Can I just stay at home, spend time alone with myself & Him, with no one pestering me?! I just want a quiet & peaceful Christmas eve. But then again, I don't want them to think that Christians are always so high-above & arrogant, not wanting to go out with them or something. I'll see how it goes later...
I dunno how I should feel right now. Having driving lesson at 4pm! I'm nervous because I almost forgotten everything learnt! This is bad, really bad!! Help! I forgot the 3 test routes already! I'm so dead, my driving instructor would be nagging again. =(

Laugh die me!
OMG, I nearly died laughing! I was feeling sleepy so I asked this friend of mine, YL, to entertain me while I do my work. He asked me for my opinion about this particular post on his blog so I told him what I thought...before we knew it, the following conversation took place:
* º·º°¨*¨°º·•« E-LiAnG »•·º°¨*¨°º·º° * says:
love just isnt easy
Ee Lin 依灵 is on cloud 9 & no one can bring her down! says:
like for example, a wife who's always abused by her husband...many also think that their husbands will one day change...but u cannot expect such things...cause it's hard for them to change...and that is y many women still are caught in a bad relationship n unable to break free....u get what i mean? like they know it isn't working but they're still hoping...they're willing to take the risk

like for example, a wife who's always abused by her husband...many also think that their husbands will one day change...but u cannot expect such things...cause it's hard for them to change...and that is y many women still are caught in a bad relationship n unable to break free....u get what i mean? like they know it isn't working but they're still hoping...they're willing to take the risk

Specially for Twilighters (Read: JM) XP
One of my best friends, JM, got KT and I to become twilighters by introducing the book Twilight and showing us the teasers and trailers on youtube whilst feeling extremely anticipated about the movie being released in December (we're so gonna watch it together eh?!). Yesterday, there was a book release party held in Borders. Obviously, it was the release of the 4th book (also final) and sequel of the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer – Breaking Dawn. As fans could dress up as their favourite characters and a prize would be given to the best dressed, KT and I thought it was interesting. So as curious as we were, we headed to Borders after grabbing bubble tea each for AUD2 (usual price: $3.90 - went during Happy Hour). I have nothing much to say about the book release party, but what the heck? A picture says a thousand words so I'll just let the pictures do the talking! ;)
"Kids" 'dressing up' as their favourite characters outside Borders
Breaking Dawn sold out completely
Forks is one of the places in Twilight (for those who don't read Twilight)

Me
