been pretty hectic this week... loadsa shopping to do. never been so.... happily tired =p =p =p. ITS worth the energy n blisters on my feet =(. Huahuahua... Oh well.. there was Gina's present-huntin. then there was Annie's, Grandma's and Mom and Dad's souvenir n upcoming Susan's and Stella's... *gosh*

Of course, despite all that, i have had abit of 'this' fer myself. i admit, i cant resist the fact that THOSE stores are putting up BIG Red n White "SALE" n "STOCKTAKE SALE" n "MORE SALE" - - - they are literally luring me. NOt my fault. hehehe.

Oh Oh Oh i almost forgot, i bought this really cute toy called.... erh.. havent named it but at the moment i shall call it Mr. Tickly. At the slightest nudge, or even a clap near it, it goes... "Ahaha ahahaha wuhuhu whuhuhuhu ahahahha" Ok i sound crazy but im serious. its all vibrant and so tickly once u have it in ur arms... its a good toy to scare as well as cheer people up whenever they are sad, or when u are seriously bored u have nothing better to do. heee hee heeee
















Saturday, 24th June

Have had our monthly "celebration" last saturday. Had pretty good dinner, at Kampai - Yumm. Soon after, we watched Click - superb movie, n Dah surprised me with Honeycomb Cheesecake. That's really sweet... When i meant, girls love surprises, its true. And it meant alot. Thank you dah.

And i really loved the fact that YOU dressed up for me. =)










See, so handsome!! so please get lost of those Gio tee Ok? Haha!








Sunday, 24th June

This morning i had one of those shack days again. went out with sis n brother to the market to get weekly groceries - kinda fun, 3 of us hangin out together... its so funny because by the time we get to the stalls, it was about 12pm, and sellers started yelling n stuff, "Half price off EVERYTHING" n "$3 off per Kilo!" n all. -- had to look at where i was walking to avoid my eardrums frm burstin frm all the shoutings there. Oh there was one funny stall thou, think he's probably Italian; guess what, he placed one sign that says

-- "We dont yell to sell" --

Cool hUh.

the three of us were admirin it, chuckle a lil but well, didnt bother much after, turned away and headed towards the ones on "SALE" hee hee

Had lunch at this Thai restaurant, then came back home to bathe n all before Me n sis headed out again in search of Boots, but only ended up with sis buying another jacket that was on sale. Really hope to get one of those knee length boots. mine's too short and high-heeled. hmpf.

Sadly, im out of my budget fer this month. sobs. too much shopping already. thought i had plenty of $$$ cos of exam period.. guess i was wrong... *guilty* well... applyin fer work right now.. hopefully i can get a job at MCG. Then i shall not worry about spending those unnecessary money. . . feel really bad cos my brother works; n he uses his hard-earned cash out to get his 'wants' yet... me being the big sister... dont. so embarassin yea.. sobs. n im gg to sydney, goldcoast and brisbane in a week's time. . . i'd better hold on to my wallet. but seriously, those BIG SALE banners are such..... POISON! ! evil things! argh! i hate stayin in the city now.

ps: read this article on this forum that says:

Guys will spend $2 fer $1 stuff that he needs; ladies will spend $1 stuff that's on sale but nothing close to her needs.

That's so true. - no comment -

Someone back me up! *haa*

erh.. well.. then we went out fer dinner... 3 of us, with my bro's friends, Vicki, Gavin, Bayoe and Ferry. initially headed fer Glenferrie - Seth Thai, bro was tellin me how spicy the food was, so spicy he will only order "mild". He's such a Chilli-freak; God knows how much chilli he adds to ALL his food. N he's only takin Mild. He says the "extra hot" 's ... inexplicable. woohoo...

Sadly, they're havin some kinda renovation. so we aimed at this 2nd nicest restaurant there, Samurai, which is located at the other end of the street. Guess what,

Mon- Sat: 10am - 1030pm
Sunday : CLOSED

so, we left fer Boxhill instead, about 7 train stations further. waited fer 17 minutes before the train arrives. plus was REALLY cold out there...

what a night... but its all worth it! 'am glad i had a whole day out with mi siblings. =D

i love holidays! ! ! !
















me n sis - n that expression-z probably cos she's all hungry + cold + tired =_=''

Hehe hehe..

Its been a really tough week I'd say, heaps of interesting happy moments, some unforeseen incidents and unpleasant and revolting yet explicit truths and various kinds of irresistable stress-build ups have had occured. Its crazy! seriously.

However, the gist of it would come down to - -> the fact that I'm finally all done with, the Exams! ! purfectly noted, with no regrets at all ! ! ! ! *crosses fingers*

yeh.. its only like one month ago, somewhat right after the end of semester, (during swot vac), miin started callin me out to library/ have study sessions together. told her no, explainin' how i really wanted to have a good rest after all those countless amount of assignments and reports. Basically either implicating im too lazy to start studyin or that im naively confident enough cos i have had quite a "revision" with those stupid assignments!

Sad to say, that didnt last long. yeh. . to sum up, 2006's 1st semester's like.. "wOw" - yea, best i can describe that as.

so here's a summary:

15th June, Thursday

Stanley threw his 24th birthday dinner party at Crystal Jade. Hehehe we made him wear this kiddy birthday hat - in pink! it was so funny. He's such a nice guy. i mean it (truly) - from the serious things he says sometimes of course. we aren't that close thou but he's dah's best friend here so i think thats why our friendship strengthened - in a way. What
actually hit me was, without him, Aug wont be as hilarious. He always gets excited around him hey? Haha. Well, to think of it, kev plays a major role too. haha. these 3 guys, boy, since Trinity days, have made such an impact till now... they are still as crazy as ever... will miss them lots if they leave this year... *hmm*




have yes yes, loadsa fun as usual, plus the fact that i had finished my 3rd paper made it so much better! Furthermore, a secret plus point was that, i finally get to meet dah dah (*-^), eversince Sunday - when we went to fetch my sister frm the airport. well thing is, we dont meet that often, because he stay so far away and with this exam period, it just made it worse.

Anyways, we happen to end our exams at the same time that day and went to Indonesian Embassy together to collect this 14 boxes of Krispy Kreem we both preordered fer us and our friends. i know - so much! its fresh from Sydney, the best doughnuts ever. There was this charity collection goin on and the profits gained frm these doughnuts are donated to this olympic thingy and the disaster in Jogja..

well dah dah bought me, brother, kevin n himself each 1 box intially. The rest belonged to my friends. then later he got stanley and miin one each too. My dah is so generous! he got everyone one box and i totally appreciates that =) i mean. its really rare thing to do. although it wasnt much of a special thing fer me. since everyone else gets it. . . . =p

However, that day i picked up sth really, shockin. i didnt know how RUDe one can be. See, when u receive information in ur favor, what do you say? Thank You. When u receive gift from someone, what do you say? Thank You. When u get helped to do sth fer you, what do you say? THANK YOU. I jus cannot understand how can someone lack THAT much of basic courtesy? it just pisses me off. basic courtesyyyyy.. cmonnnnn...


16th June, Friday

Oh. i went to the library to start studyin fer my final paper on Monday. Basically vegging in there, listening to sister's Sony MP3 whilst studyin, bet nothing actually gets in, gee hee.. basically no mood to study fer the last paper. its just.. sigh. i duno what to say, u know, i felt so much like giving it up already. This last paper was so difficult. its Food Law and it requires so much udnerstanding n all. sobs..

went to cel later in the night, hang around with a couple of indo-christian friends; had a discussion on - The Bible. Did a little drama - on Zacheus.. lol.. Truly had enlightened me with loadsa stuff, really appreciated that. However, due to the doubtful un-Christianish questions i asked, i kinda felt that the group must have seen me like a weirdo or sth. felt odd fer a while = ... well i was curious mah.. =p anw, Winda cooked this perfect baked pork chop fer dinner! it was so delicious hehe.. n she still humbly say she sux at cooking ? aiyoh..

17th n 18th June

Alright, these 2 days i practically spent rily rily short time studyin. i stayed at home on both days, though tempted to go out with sis n bro shoppin at Bridge Road that Sunday! Haa... well i wanted so much to go out with sis.. didnt have much time to since she arrived.. cos i cant just relax when i have "things" in mind..

During the nights, sis n I chatted like... fer hours n hours and it was so much fun! showed me a couple of this jokes she get frm dun0-what-forum, gossips abt her friends n perhaps our relatives... yeah the list goes on... *=p

however, i also found some hurtin truths as well. its that, i realized someone's been really two-faced towards me. saying one thing and telling others another. i mean, its sounds primary school kids moans here; pretty childish when i say this, but it seriously hurts. i just cant stand liars. SLY ones. i hope they know what they are doing and i hope they get a good ol' retribution in return.

19th June, Monday (Exam: 2pm)

9am- 1130pm = last hours of flippin pages n busy memorizing...

1130pm= *yawns* got up to make coffee when i felt nausea and felt like fainting anytime

1135= panicked, sms-ed sis, mom and dah to ask - take coffee/ panadol? cant take both, i'll die! panick panick panick.

Panadol means- headache will be fine, but sleepy! sleepy means cannot do exam! Coffee means- i duno, awaken? but still prone to faint anytime? GOSH.

1140= sis smsed- panadol; Mom called - scolded me fer... ( i duno why she scold me!?!) n then said "DOnt study already lah, its ur last paper anw, u can do it! Just go to sleep and wake up the next 2 hour fer the exam,"; Dad (obviously they're in the car), said in the background, "Must be yesterday's Brazil against Australia's match, she didnt sleep!"

1150= staggered to the kitchen, grabbed some medicines, Panadol, Sangobion and eat them. oh right, and i hvent had breakfast, so i heat up sausage roll - stupidly, after i ate the medicines.

1200pm- 1pm = pee, poo, bath

1pm-115pm= decide what to wear

130pm = leave houz.

145pm = alighed in LaTrobe street, to catch City Circle to REB. whilst waitin fer the stupid 10min/time tram, i realized i didnt check my seat number beforehand! omg. panick, panick, panick. called dah, he's drivin, on his way out. Sis- sch, Bro- work. OMG! called Gina, she's there, and told me she'll check on the board n call me back. *phew*

153pm = city cirle arrived. travelling damn slow. panicked. Looked at phone several times, no news frm Gina. Called Stella, Susan, Jane - no answer. all in hall already !

2pm = reached the tram stop in REB. panicked, panicked, brisk walked up REB. still no call frm GIna. did she forget or what? anyway, ran up to one of those tanks, dump my bag n ran up the boards to see my number, n realized, i DIDNT know if its NICHOLSON or RATHDOWNE! shit. i looked at the board on one end, nope, ran to the other far end, n i realized how stupid i was. fer both nich/rath, u have them both on the same board, just that one's green and one's white; so i ran around fer nth. Ok, got it. 108.

215-415 = smile, frown, frown, smile n more smilez ! ! !

Loving the right person at the wrong time, Having the wrong person when the time is right, And finding out you love someone right after That person walks out of your life.

And sometimes, you think you're already over a person, Until you see them smile at you again,You'll suddenly realize that you're really not.
For some, they think that letting go is one way Of expressing how much you love the person, By sacrificing your happiness for theirs, Without realizing that the other person's Doing the same thing for them.


Most relationships tend to fail Not because of the absence of love; Love is always present, It's just that one is being loved too much And the other was being loved too little.

Finally marketing is oVer!!!!

So happy! 2 down, 2 more to go!! It was really amazing, me n dah did a pretty good job i guess, i hope the two of us can get really good marks! We collaborated ideas together and amazingly we kinda guessed the questions right fer Section B's case study and it was all explicit and smooth... woohooo *Cheers*

Luckily fer me, whilst panicking last night at bout 1am, i did a map of consumer behaviour+promotion mix+PLC, which amazingly turn out to be the exact answer fer Section A's qn.

However, it was crazy. Section A (1Qn) was 40% and Section B (1Qn) was 60%. n there's only 2 hours to complete. My hands wrote from neat t0 acceptable then to what seem like doctor's handwriting - coils alike. I was practically out of time by the time i came to SEction B! probably had too much crap to write fer Section A! hmpf.

I thought i'll definitely flung this because i had poor time management and by 1/2 hour to the end of the exam, i was still explaining the first problem of Section B. how sad. i wanted to cry but i tell myself just speed this through and thank God, i managed to do it, although i kinda put it in point form fer the last few 'segments'; funny thing was, the table i had wasnt proportionately levelled, so it shaked pretty easily and whilst rushing through my exam, the table shOke fer few seconds before i used another hand to apply pressure to the end of the table to keep it still. Can u imagine how hard that was? It was like 4 degree in there and alhtough my palms are really cold, i can feel myself sweating in fear+ nervousness+ worry+excitement all at once. (excited because 1/2 hr later i will be done =p)



Its amazing how good I feel right now; been really really tired out fer the last 2 weeks...
Tme to have a good sleep tonight..


Fer a second... i think i might not though... unless.. miracles happen...

SINCERELY hope the weirdos dont work tomorrow since its a Saturday. They make hell loadsa noise in the morning!

--> The vans forever-reversing "beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep" noise;
--> the Soldering [Drrrrrrrrrrr]
--> the planking/ hammering/ {seriously dont know how to describe those noise its too complicated all at once} lol.
--> and the early birds -- know you guys wanna have breakfast, at the inexplicably amazing cluster of food cafes JUST below my apartment, but please do not shout/ scream/ shriek/ yell!
--> And i wish i can tell whoever rings the weird "school bells" to sTOP doing so!! so annoying! it always happen at 9am in the morning and there's not even any "schools" nearby!


not funny, they are so annoying.


ON a brighter note, again, i had a sumptuos meal at Pacific House, AND a nice dessert of Mixed Berry Cheesecake, from one of the exquisite cafes downstairs. - it tasted heavenly! THis is the BEST cheesecake i have ever ever ever tasted. The mixture of the cheese was so tender, the sweetness level was purfect, the underlayered cookie dough -- the best part of all and my favourite of course, was *wahhhhhhh* yummy!

- so much better then the ones i made.. =




Anyways, thats it fer tonight...

*yawn* n good night!

Cant believe i sat here 'studying' fer about .. 15 hours today! - well.. minus some little hours of course ---> i had about 1/2 break watching Jennifer Aniston on Rove live earlier tonight.. and...
1/2 hour singing songs like I Say a little Prayer OUT loud. (haha! - no 1's ard n im stressed - so who cares . =p)
then.. of course minus about 1 hour on bathing n chatting on the phone and msn;
then about 1 hr break on meals ( brunch + dinner ) which i had on my study table aniwaes.. although i ate staring at the paper but nothing was absorbed really.. Huahua.. culd have had a proper meal at the table but usually if brother is not ard i wont do that..

to think abt it.. if im alone at home (which i usually am); i will eat on the sofa or at my study table.. kinda pathetic.. my HUGE dining table is only used when guests are ard.. usually loads of them, like that during the steamboat party...and the housewarming.. otherwise its used when stella or dah dah or brother.. or... yah.. or them. when they come/ are ard.


well tomorrow's paper is this really lengthy subject that requires precise explanations; ie. definitions + types of organims + examples et cetera.. im so tired about 1 hr ago.. n i drank coffee.! i could have resisted that. but i cant! i cant sleep having the thought that i can only memorize the 20 Food Additives n 16 Processing Aids n their functions n examples tomorrow morning?!! - sounds pretty easy, but its so terribly n confusingly hard n complicated to digest... sigh

so here i am... busy memorizing.. but well i kinda did a gd revision i must say -- food additives apart.

thanks to the ~12 hour last minute mugging! Huahua.. n im feeling kinda gay right now. there are certain inquires about some of the topics which have been unexpectedly solved easily and quickly! (thanks to my wonderful lecturer.. haa.. Stirk Kyle- he is so nice hey? - never hav that before since 1st year.. )

then again.. there is this surprising thing that happened today too. my brother had his exams this afternoon and he told me (since yesterday) that Myers is having sale today! up to 50% and he probably is gg there after the exams. Think he hinted me to go too cs the last time we went togehter we bought quite alot of stuff n it was quite fun. but i have to prepare for exams tml n when he knew abt it he didnt bother to ask anyway. well then again, he came back with a bag.. n shoved it to me, n asked if its nce.


its this box of chocolate, frm... erm.. Nina's, quite nicely packaged and the first thing i asked was, "so u bought this?" kinda expected my now-vain brother to get himself jacket or sth.. haa.. but anw he explained that its $17 before n its got 30% off so yea.. but there's only 8 of them n its not like Max Brener or Coco Black leh... so kinda bo hua (=p)


well.. then he left to his gf's hoz to hav dinner n then when he returned he asked if i had ate it.. but i didnt eat it at all.. cos ... well didnt feel like at the moment. but anw, he ate one and then he put it on my bookshelf and said.. mm can give Putri later when she comes, then he went out..


i was busy reading my notes so i didnt pay attention to that.. but after he left 10 mins later.. i thought, hey, was that for me? if not why didnt he take it to his room? he always do.. wahhaa..maybe it was, but he thought i didnt appreciate that? i mean.. my sis is coming only this weekend mah.. haha.. but anway. i felt really happy! just glad =D *thanks An.., if my assumptions is right (unless the choc was bad n he didnt like it) * hee - well he culd have given that nicely wrapped box to his gf too..


hrm... surprisingly today i had quite a good day. Despite all the rush and stress im feeling for tml's exam... And.. actually.. I cant wait to meet dah dah tml after exam to have dinner at Laksa King! *yummm* then he also says he's coming to my home to discuss Marketing with me! yay!! -- so ordinary but im just all excited so its kinda givin me motivation to study!


On the other hand, I also have tinge of excitement regarding my Sis coming this weekend! i Cant wAIt!! although i might be ignoring her until the 19th June... but i guess i will spend some time takng her ard the city n take her to those korean restaurants, meet my friends... andmost importantly, I can do loadsa stuff with her!! n she cooks really well too!! hauhauuauhaua.. missed those days when we chat all night.. i guess she must be all excited n happy that she's gonna be here. =D with me n brother.


but im afraid she will get homesick n cries... if she does, i will too..

have had weird habit of eating one panadol each day these days; without it my headache throbs so bad it felt like its gonna explode anytime =(

tried to stop it as what dah dah told me to.. but i cant.. apparently by 10pm i had to eat 2 tablets before it gets better.. of course since i hadnt had dinner i cooked instant beehoon which tasted like heaven.. and yeah.. i kinda got better after that.. Haha..

well im trying to settle down n concentrate on my studying but somehow i felt relaxed; its either the fact that i had too much problems up in my head (due to the mean + 'bas..kets' ), that i cannot focus on my work because there's jsut too many things for me to do/ think! or that i'm confident that i can do this, which... i doubt.. or that.. somehow i had the strength to believe in myself and i think that is probably why. Ok kinda not make sense to a third party here.. but it definitely matters to me.

umm at the moment..i just wanna vent my frustration here...

Home@Flinders suX! i hate them so much!! all i have up in my mind at the moment is how should i deal with them on Monday. i felt that i can break down n cry on n on n on n on.. they are such bullies! This is so ridiculous.. lousy rate, lousy connection, lousy service, lousy CUstoMER service. Firstly, its 256K fer $100/ mth! it says unlimited but its soooo slow i think with this rate i predict im only spending like 500 MB max! totally absurd and they say this is the best rate in town? call me troublemaker and biggest complainer? HUH! FYI, i can get better rates from tpg internet provider for speed of 24K, max download 18 GB for just $50! * i have proof alright *

And this latest totally obnoxious news i received was that they KNOW WHAT sites we surfed and check on us all the time (NO PRIvACY? Ok, nvm) ! u might be able to "HACK" my service at the moment so i reckon u guys are probably LOOking at this as well huh?

Anyway, U say bit torrent is illegal and they say 6 ppl in the whole building is using it and that it takes up 90% of the band width. HEY so the whole building is AFFEcTED by this and just 6 comps can bring this rate down so slow, even slower than that of a dial up speed? DO u guys know that it takes me 20 minutes to load a "UNIVERSITY WEBSITE?" yeah. thats just with 6 comps. n this can bring down to such a disaster. cmoN, we pay a hundred bucks each month and we are first restricted to what websites we want to surf? (the paper mentioned its only for "work") And secondly we are running at what seemed like worse than dial up speed? Why dont u guys let us USE OTHER proVIDERS out there?? whY does it have to be restricted to YOUR servicE? i tried to talk this out nicely, hoping to request for another offer or alternatives because i do "reasonings" and "research" alright? I have my rights and I AM obtaining it no matter what. BUt u NOt only disregard our complaints, you INSULted ME!

I know i'm small and Im a girl, but I have BRAINS alright. NOne OF US ARE HAPPY with the service. they just took it because they are given no choice. i wanted to do the same too. but the slowness just gets on my nerves, because it wasnt only unworthy of my money, its very disturbing because i cannot do my work at all. i just cant help it. n I didnt brainwash them into coming with me! we met in the lift and along the corridors and they are all cowards who refused to speak a word so I was there to start it off and you thought i was the gang LeaDER? cMON, grow up!!

Hey im staying in a high rise buidling alright. in the city! and NONE of the apartments are working the way you guys are. EVen the STUDENT APARTMENTS DONT! why cant we get our rights as a customer at all? what service is thIS?

Alright, enough of that. too bad i have 1 year contract so i have to bear with this for another 8 mths. shOUld i reach my limit and highest dissatisfaction level, like what ACCC (Consumer SErvice in Aussie) advices, im jsut gonna complain to the Tribunal and do some real reasonings at the court. I mean it. Im So sicK Of it.

sick!
