Whoops finally got my lazy ass down to blog! BACK IN SYDNEY AFTER THREE MONTHS OF HOLIDAY. New hostel again this semester! Skipped the whole orientation, making my life 10x more miserable and lonely now  but its okay I guess, baby steps.. I can do thiiiiiisssssss. :X Wow second time back, and I'm even more homesick than ever. & I actually broke down the first two nights here. Esp the first night because the first day was just so horrible?! I lost my credit/ATM card the first thing I reached Syd, new hostel felt so foreign and I barely knew anyone, dead cockroaches found under my table - and dammit, I HATE COCKROACHES. I felt so miserable.. Hahhaa (feels like I'm wallowing in self pity but really..), the room feels like a prison initially, and old, and COCKROACHES, and a horrible time I had earlier in the day. My parents are so sweeeeeet, cos my mum went to video my Dad picking up a dead cockroach to "teach" me how to. 

 I can't wait to go home and its only the second week of school.  Really damn sian to be back other than the fact that I kinda miss my (pathetic amount of) Sydney friends.  To think I wanted to go back earlier, WHAT WAS I THINKING. (On the other hand, kinda regretted skipping orientation) These 3 months of Summer holidays passed by way too fast - and I can't believe I spent these 3 months practically doing almost nothing other than going out. HAHA. On a side note, I took up cycling (finally heellll yeahhh! No need to be double-biked anymore and be a burden to others heheh), Pilates and Yoga. HAHA. just trying to be healthy here ;) The holidays were awesum also because I met up with all my friendsssss! like finally and it feels so good :D You know who you are, especially those who took time out their busy army/uni life!   - Wenyuan, Li Wei, Hsien Juen, Linda, ZM, Keith, Jere, TYQ, YY, TW, Lionel, etc etc!!! 

So anyway, 

Have been seeing this guy to do all sorts of things almost every single day for the last two months. And so, we went to/had, half priced waffles at Gelare, Haw Par Villa, finally tried the shots bar (Chupitos Bar), Mustafa, Cycled, Shisha-ed, Haji-lane, (attempted to) club, have a mini cook-out, Simei-ed, Queensway-ed, Botanic Gardens-ed, crazy and imaginary Bangkok plans but instead we literally went "overseas" to JB, town for a million times, buying our first TOTO together, being healthy and eating fruits, movies, talking/typing in a lingo that only the both of us understands and the list just continues.. Super super appreciative of him and amazed at our lameness even after our 4-5 years of friendship. Anyway, MISS YOU SO MUCH DUDE, ARE YOU SEEING THIS?!?!  Feels like we haven't met for a few monthsssss :/ Skype soon plzzzzzzzzzzz. 

And of course Gigi and Leejie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAH #fangirlsnomore. #friendsforever 

ANYWAY, DID I MENTION THAT MY FAVOURITE BITCH DID EXCEPTIONALLY WELL FOR A LEVELS?!?!?! :) I'm so freaking proud of you and I really miss you hell A LOT.  Thanks for being such a sweetheart esp during my 3 months back! Thanks for such an awesome scrapbook made with so so so much love!    
"i'm not going to sleep tonight until i finish jo's scrap card, yes i'm learning.
i hate art and craft but this girl is amazing and deserving :)"

you are the truly amazing and lovely one babe.  

Sighhh 1 week back in Syd and I think I put on whatever I lost during the holidays. Okay school started proper today and is time for me to get my ass and brain moving~ :)

Wow, its been exactly a month since I came back. This also equates to exactly a month since I have been doing completely NOTHING apart from going out/slacking @ home. 

And so, my first semester in UNSW have ended. Got to really thank God for this entire semester, in terms of settling in, coping with studies, and for the friends made. And SUPER THANKFUL FOR MY RESULTS!!!!! Okay not trying to boast but I had really high expectations of myself, and I really didn't want to disappoint anyone anymore. ESP MY PARENTS, cos I have been so so so so blessed by them. 

Lazy with the words, so..

Brisbane 2011:

And SALLLLLLLY!



If you ever see this, JUST WANT TO SAY I REALLY MISS YOU :(

Hong Kong trip was really good, though I don't really like their clothes there. On the other hand, the food there is so good, and I bought 6 shoes! Plus really really good time spent with the parents, which I am sure $$ can't buy (so cliche, but whatever) But no more travelling for me man. 10 flights this year, too much for someone with motion sickness.

Really happy to be back though I am missing Sydney a little! Met up with almost all my friends and have most cravings satisfied.  The past 3 weeks have been nothing more than amazing meeting all the familiar faces. For 2 weeks, I went to town almost consecutively to meet up with frenzzz (lifeless much lol) and 1 week of HK! 

Had my first driving refresher course today, and zzz the instructor thought I really knew completely NOTHING and taught me how to start the car. Like seriously?!? And he also taught me how to pump petrol?!??!! WHERE ARE YOU BBDC!!!!! Rushed off to meet Hsienjuen in Somerset where we passed by A&F and omgosh, the crowd was C-R-A-Z-Y. and we could only get a glimpse of 2-3 hot guys there. hahaha no we ain't desperate alright. Arteastiq for tea, love the ambience and definitely, her company. After which we walked around, almost quite aimlessly, for retail jobs. On the side note, I am so so so proud of Hsienjuen and how she have been faring so well, and growing so well spiritually too ( I'm stalking you, bitchzx ^^) Such awesome time spent with her today, makes me really really happy. :)

Oh righhhhht, what am I supposed to do for next two months. I am half-hearted on finding a job just to pass time (those jobs are usually useless) Want to do volunteering but most of them needs 6 months, and Chesire Home ain't replying my email. :/ and this summer is never perfect without the best friend. Really wished you were here, Jocelyn Tay Shu Wen! xx.

Btw, I made great attempts of ATTEMPTING to exercise. To begin with, I bought a new pair of running shoes cos my current ones is like RUSTY?! Hahah shows how long I havent been doing proper running. I even did napfa with my Vans -_- (but still passed ok. don't play play) And I hurried my mother to buy me one before Hong Kong cos I was desperate to lose weight. But the running shoes was left untouched even after Hong Kong. and HK has so so so so so much cheaper and nicer shoes!!!  AND I FINALLY attempted running around Botanic Gardens and ended up walking after.. 2 minutes. I SHALL ATTEMPT TO GYM TMR.  

WHAT A DEAD BLOG REALLY. HAHA, super sorry for the really empty promises made about updating my blog regularly when I come over.So a really really quick entry before I sleep!

I have 12 hours of lessons every week, 2 hours of lecture which I dont attend 90% of the time (cos me no understand the accent har har har, lousy like that. but the lecturer sucks anway) SO LIFE'S GOOD AND SLACK but JUST NOT THESE TWO WEEKS, because I have 3 major assignments all due the same time. And especially since I am a super last minute worker.......... I seriously have to constantly remind myself how hard is it on my parents to send me over especially since my brother is studying overseas. Got.To.Stop.Slacking

Staying in hostel is cool cos I get to sleep in really really late. (Though really regretted not knowing my hostel people more, but sigh, guess its too late anyway. Oh well.. ) Great friends which I will treasure for life, good times, good times. :) Wouldn't know what I would be if I didnt know this bunch of people. (esp Paulina, love you bitch! Wouldnt know how to survive this semester w/o youu. HUGGGZXZX)

AND YAYY COS I SCORED HD'S FOR ALL MY MIDSEMESTER TESTS. But only managed to make me happy for less than a day and I just got reminded of how I do pretty alright during these small and insigifcant tests, getting everyone's expectations so high, but never fail to screw  my major exams. Time and time again I have let so many people down and THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ANYMORE. Yeah right, thats what I said during A's but look what just happened.

Being overseas made me be more cautious about my spending. Not that I don't shop a lot here, IN FACT, A LOT. The sales here are just the amazing man. In two months, I probably spend around $500 on clothes and shoes. But everytime I spend >$300 a month I feel like dammmmmmmmmmn guilty since all my food is provided. And i stay on campus which means I need not spend on food and transport. AND this also makes me wonder how the hell do I spend $1000 a month for the past few months. I have ZERO savings since I started working in Feb. D:

And I really miss best friend. Daylight savings soon which means we will be 11 hours apart, I can't wait to see her in December. :( Together with Wenz and Lw, and all the other girls and MY FREAKING CLASSMATES. I miss yall, i miss you keith!! (I really hope you are coming over in Oct. :/) I miss you YQ, Jeremy, YY, ZM,  YJ, Lionel, Edward, etc etc etc I want to teleport you all here now. and Linda and the list goes on..

Super quick shout out to my September birthday babies! Especially Elizabeth, Yuenyi, Hsien Juen and Eunice!!! You all probably won't see this, but love all of you deep deeeeeeeeeeeppp

my post is so choppy and disgusting HAHA i think I forgot how to blog?!?!?!

Anyway, just yesterday, I attended a management lecture and they said when you were to go to a whole new environment, you started off feeling damn excited, after a month or so, your excitment level drops, and after about three months, it almost drops to a point where you hate being in there, and just want to go home. Total exact on how I am feeling. Not that I hate being here, BUT I REALLY WANT TO GO HOME. I miss the familarity and I miss my friends, and I really miss my family. And I really cant wait to just go down Orchard Road again and hang out with my budz and go back to my title of being a "town girl" HAHA. Alright, not good with expressing myself, but.. yeah. Nuff said. :)

As for nowww, I need all Your grace and strength to pull me through these 3 annoying assingmentttttttts!

Lets just say, I am thankful, and blessed. :')

Last lifegroup today, so many lasts starting to freak me out D:

Super terrible day today. Woke up late, driving was like DAMN SCREWED and I cant believe I am taking my test next week -.- (more like a sure fail thing.) (only good thing is my fav instructor talked to me!!! ^^) Then went to town attempting to shop cos I have vouchers but I couldnt find anything! (is always when you have vouchers/$$ to spare and you cant find anything you want -.-) Got bored of shopping. I think maybe cos I am only restricted to buy winter clothes and is almost impossible to find any nice long sleeved stuff in SG so everything else becomes boring. Had time to kill before meeting LG for steamboat so I walked from Somerset->Orchard->Newton->Novena HAHA SO PROUD OF MYSELFFFF. Then steamboat omg as usual over eat and I hope I dont get food poisoning like the last time. but rly rly awesome time spent with my LG!!!!!!! :') Mmmm, times like this :D

Okay so yesterday was rly quality time spent with Wy, Lw, and Joc :D :D Nandozs, chillingz at the most interesting place in SG (aka PLAZA SINGAPURA -.- dots dont uds why everyone likes to go there, is like rly boring. LIKE A HEARTLAND MALL NO??! got Best Denki, Daiso, Carrefour, Aussino.) HAHA ok, at least the food there is pretty good! And then off to LW's house for Pictionary and Cluedo!!!!!!!! omg my favourite game, esp Cluedo so fun and exciting and suspicious and selfish game! HEHE. and Pictionary IS my favourite game ONLY WHEN WY DRAWS. cos her drawing is really imba. HAHA Joc, Lw and myself were really LOL-ing, ROFL-ing once it was her turn to draw. HAHHHHAHA then dinner @ Sixth Ave with WY, yay rly love her, okay all of them ;)

OH AND TUESDAY WAS WITH LINDAAAAAAAAAAA! gosh really love her ttm <3 <3 Always go soooo crazy with her and is llike all the small little things that made the whole day so fun + perffect + funny LOL. Ayam penyet as usual at Lucky Plaza's Ria, then just hanging arnd town as usual too HAHA. gosh really gonna miss her so badly :') muacks muacks.

OKAY so as for my UK trip, really had a time of my life with the brother, then MYSELF (went crazy shopping) , then with the best friend @ Brighton. I am rly too lazy to blog about it although I really should have done so earlier cos I am beginning to forget some stuff. sighzz. but ah.. so blessed to be able to go for this trip. Spending time with my bro + Joc was like so imp now since I am going to Aussie to study + they are in UK = We have totally different holidays.

HMM SO.. One week odd before I leave for good. The only thing that I am looking forward is coming back four months later? Summer break! But by then, everybody would have moved on. Each to their own universities/segments in the army, and all busy with their own stuff. Yeah, its true that meet ups are still possible, but what are the odds. When we move on from Secondary to JC, we barely even meet up (not until A level period where we stuided tgt and when A levels ended, when we all had almost completely nothing to do/worry about) Then Hyona/Sam/Nic? We even went Korea tgt, but dont even talk nnow cos all four of us are studying in 4 different parts of the world. FOL. Then to lifegrp, havent met NRLG since we transited. and I am pretty sure SMU TLG will be the same. (Though I am very very thankful for the certain friends I have met there. ) OKAY THEN WORK. Work friends are just so temporary like really.... LOL first was Tony Romas. Meet up for like the first month we ended work and then.. fullstop. -_- Now for NUH. (Desperately miss my collegeaues and my favourite boss!!) Is just the timing and the different schedules which makes things so terrible. And also Shawn's gang which we were so close and I miss soooooooooo much *sad face* Then MOST IMPORTANTLY to the class, already lost contact with more than half the class ever since they went in to army. We were all still pretty tight before they went army with constant meetups and chillz BUT I HAVENT SEEN THEM FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS ALREADY LIKE WTH RIGHT. ok... you get my drift. Things WILL change no matter how we do not want it.

So I predict an awfully boring summer break for Jo! But anyway, there's always something that never change, and that's your family :) AMEN. AND certain individuals definitely! ALSO uber thankful the brother will be back in Decemeberrrrrrrrr! I hope best friend will be too, sighzx
