LoNG WEEKEND

well.. if most of u know wat's going on in melbourne ..it's nothing much but the melbourne cup.. it's the biggest bid in the world which ppl waste their money on the horses and everyone just pause to see this particular horse racing ... of course it's just more than horse-racing to the melbournist .. it;s about fashion when everyone dresses up .. ladies wear their hats and put on the dress .. men dress in suits.. it was indeed a fancy and interesting event every year ..

for me .. melbourne cup is nothing much but just another long weekend .. yet this one aint as enjoyable as the others as this one we all have to prepare for our coming exams .. which is next week .. >.< .. cant go n have fun ..cant slack around and cant be lazy ..or else will get scoldings .. and this time .. long weekend without edwin .. kinda quiet and different without him at aunty soon bee's hse .. first time he's not here with me cos he's having his major exams- vce .. sorta like spm .. (wish him luck~!! ) anyway .. this is a longer long weekend cos we have 4 days instead of 3 .. :) get out of the bhse .. :P

FRIDAY
i stayed with pau at balwyn .. we would be going for rowing so i stayed with her and car pool with her to go rowing the next day .. jesh was with us too cos her guardian couldn't take her on fri.. so ..2 of us stayed with pau. .. i'd been to her hse once and it was pretty much the same as last time .. after being dropped off by her sis .. we were welcomed by her 2 dogs: so jai(stupid boy) and ling lok(lemoncoke) .. haha .. they are so cute~!!!!!!!!! made me wanna have pets too!!
we helped her mum to sweep the verranda ... there were leaves everywhere and pau said if there was oni 1 person doing tat it's goona take 2 hours at least .. :P but with 3 of us .. it was clean and clear in 45 minutes (or even abit more) time // .. hehhe .. then we were awarded with chicken wings grilled by pau's sis - jacklyn ... yummm. .. but still prefer those one tat my mum made ... imcomparisonable .. :P
After tat .. we watched this really touching movie - "Armageddon" ... i watched it twice dee..once was when i was really young.. arund 9yrs old .. it was so touching tat i cried at tat young age .. which normally wouldnt happen to kids .. and i remembered when i asked ppl at school whether had they watched it // none of them said yes .. which brought back a lil memory about ski weekend when pau and tash ching first watched it .. they were pouring with tears .. anyway .. back to when pau,jesh and i were watching .. i tot i wouldnt cry cos i had watched it before and i dint cry at the second time .. but i was wrong .. i cried when her dad decided to take up the responsibility to bomb the asteroid ..so sad~!! :''( aiks .. sob sob .. towards the end .. we were called to set up the dinning table as pau's mum had the soup, curry and pasta ready dee .. and we just need to grill the chicken wings like wat jacklyn did and we could all eat..
THEN .. happened this hilarious thing .. we all patiently preheat the griller.. put in the chicken wings .. and set up the timer for 5 minutes ..then heat it for 2 minutes .. yupz .. after 7 minutes .. when we opened the grilelr ... the chicken wings werent cooked!!!!!!! we were so shocked and were all wonderin why and how to work tat thing .. but then .. we soon found out tat we dint turn the pwoer supply on .. how smart?~! :P ..
dinner was good .. we had pasta.. chicken wings.. mushroom.. curry.. soup ..etc. .was very heavy and filling .. :) bloated and satisfied .. her mum did put it heaps of effort in it. .. so thank u aunty~!!!
anyway .. we chatted and wandered around ..soon enough we realised tat we had to go to bed .. so .. 3 of us squashed together and go to sleep .. i fell asleep the earliest when they were still having their conversation .. they were chatting bout this and tat.. but i was too tired to be bothered and bearing i have to do ergo 1 km the next day .. i fell asleep sooon enough when jeshri was sms-ing her bf, hugh .. the whole nite - :0 my goodness!

SATURDAY
woke up early well cos we have rowing .. jeshri follwed us to albert park cos we were going to city after tat .. tammi told us tat she dint sleep the whole nite cos she was clubbing with sharlotte and steph keah ... well .. she seemed tired but she did her ergo pretty well .. i'm glad i dint go clubbing or else i'll be so dead ... not so strong like bammi .. :P anyway .. menaka joined our crew tat morning ..she was freaking annoying and our crew dislike her so we all disgust her as much as we could and the coach just kept quiet .. hehehehe :P so funny .. :) then when karen cox us .. we crashed into this tree branch~!! haihya .. hehe..but it was funny ...
AFTER ROWING .
we went to the city .. we shopped at supre and i bot this denim skirt ..i;m not sure whether i'll be wearing skirts anot .. but i guess i need one .. just in case .. :P if u're lucky , u may see me wearing it // .. after tat .. we bot boost juice(drink) ..this lady took our drink and the staff misplaced our order .. so we got a large juice instead of the regular and kid size tat we ordered .. and we got this free voucher because of it ..:) untung lor .. hehehe
then we went to VICTORIA MARKET ..
jesh wanted to buy her hp string cos hers broke which reminded me of mine .. jy and yeen promised me to get one for me .. i bot strawberries to bring to aunt soon bee hse.. we shopped around ... looked as if we were tourists ..and i bot suga lollies for those we loved it .. :) we walked around and pau's socks started slipping off .. so she bot new ones ..but they still slipped off .. oh well =.=! was her response like .. also .. i bot a pair of trackies for $10 .. i liked it .. so it's kinda worth it .. thinking of wearing it at taiwan when it's cold ~!! then we bot hot donuts .. yummmmm .. and had hotdog with chilli and mustard sauce for lunch .. yumm yumm ... mustard taste quite good~!!! jesh said tat's the oni stall tat she know in melb tat sells hotdog with chilli n mustard. . wonder is tat true ..
Went back to the city ..
i 4gotten tat i need to get my camera from cousin francis but he wasnt there and no one knew where the camera was.. so i had to go back again .. and jesh bot a pair of havainas for camp .. it's a pair ok pink and white pokka dots one .. kinda cute ..suits her.. went back to pau's place after tat ..
her mum fetched me to boxhill to catch a bus back to my guardian;s hse .. i was carrying this massive bag tat i tot i looked as if i was escaping or runnign away .. hahha .. anyway.. the bag was so heavy tat the strap broke~!! but i still had to carry it .. nvm .. train my muscles .. hehehe :P
the bus ride was alright in the beginning but when it was my stop ..it almost crashed~!!! i almost fell forward when i was like directly behing the driver.. my face hit the glass. . so painful~!! but i'm alrite now .. hope the driver realise his mistake .. made me hit my face~!! pAIN 1 ar.. >.< he was kinda shocked too .. :P

COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

current feeling : hands are cold .. want a heater or someone kind enough to warm me up .. >.<
current song : everytime - britney spears


today's was freezing cold.. seriously .. so cold tat u just feel like cuddling in yr bed and stay indoor and not go for school or anyway .. sadly this is not wat life seems to be ..

early in the morning woke up at 5.25 .. well u guessed it rite .. i had rowing .. the weather was still alrite in the begining when we were inside the bus .... oh ya ,, we saw two rainbows at the sky when we were in the bus .. there was a big one and a fade one .. it's arch is so big and obvious ,..so gorgeuos .. but as we are nearer and nearer towards the lake .. damn it .. it started raining again .. drizzle drizzle ... then all of a sudden - pouring !!
it was still ok when there aint any wind .. when the wind blew .. the lake water was like a rough sea .. seriously no joke ~! so our coach decided to have a stretch first while waiting for the "shower to pass" ... 15 minutes later . . we had to rain in the light rain .. but it was so cold!!! my fingers and hands were like icy cold .. wanna know how it feels like?? stick ur fingers into the fridge for 5-10 minutes .. then take it out .. tat;s how my hands are now like .. >.< but it's ok .. when u know ur whole crew is suffering the same thing as u and they're not complaining ..despite the cold .. so i guess i did survive through it .. we rowed oni for a while cos before we were through .. it started pouring and lightening was dashing by .. so cold and wet this time !!
we were asked to steer back and go for the landing but then our landing was taken by the faster crew~! aiks .. we had to turn it around again .. plus .. the wind was blowing like crazzy !!! the water was so choppy tat the boat was rocking al the way .. not funny.. could have fall in .. and froze but our crew so smart course we dint .. anyway ..when we landed .. we were like soaked wet .. and it was rainin none stop .. as my whole crew are boarders we din bring extra clothes nor towel .. so .. when we got up the bus .. u can imagined wat happen ... cold n wet~@

actually it was fun though .. not the cold n wet bit .. after tat i think it's kinda fun .. and i wanna do it again .. *secretly laughin evil-ly* went and took a shower when we reached bhse ..

the rest of the day was freaking cold .. everyone was shivering .. wasnt really a good day ..

i'm kinda nervous .. exams drawing near .. and i SO not prepared for it ,.. die..

in short this was wat happened in my weekend ..

ROWING
nothing much happened at rowing as usual. .. but i dint go back straight to the boardin hse as i've got stuff to collect and phone to fix in the city .. had breaky with karen .. my senior and my crew ..

CITY
repair phone .. this taught me an important lesson .. never let any trainee attend u in this kind of places where they require technician .. they never know wat's going on and they cant help u but taking up most of ur time ..wanna activate my mms also cant make it .. such sad case . made me waited for an hour + // aiks ,, waste of time and cx was complaining how late i was and stuff .. tat stupid phone center;s faults!

LUNCH WITH JON'S PARENTS
his parents were here ..tat;s why he invited us to this restaurant and yum cha ..it was located somewhere near my bhse ..so i rushed back to shower ( which also got complained by cx for taking up time) .. but i rowed course it's best if i shower lar ... rained in noon .. make us wet upon arriving the restaurant .. but we heated up by eating dim sum and stuff .. was realy good ..met his guardian and his family frens .. cx was like kept eating n eating oni .. :P greedy !~!


Sunday was really special ..
YOU'RE THE RUN THAT I WANT
mandy n i joined the 10km run ..something similiar to malay mail big walk .. had to run 10km instead of walkin 7kms .. but it was really rewarding at the end with the nike free t shirt and all the yummy food waiting for us at the finish line .. the experience was priceless ..dint regret tat i joined .. there were like more than 5000 ppl joining .. so u can definately imagine how massive the event was ..

Friday, October 22, 2004

the yr 12s are leaving very soon .. they're sorta graduate .. but not really as they havent really finished their exams .. stilll they have study leave and probably these few days would be their last few days of school. ..

it kinda reminds me of the majlis perpisahan back home but it's very different here and there ..

FINAL NIGHT in the boarding hse .
their theme was olympic games .. it was really funny how they had torch litting ... olympians .. and stuff .. as there was quite a bit journey to walk from the boarding house to the lecture hall .. the yr 12 pretend as ghosts to scare us off .. and they also had the pop up thingy .. :P .. had a bit of a fright .. but it was so funny .. later. . after they announced the awards of the year .. we watched a video taken by the year 12s .. as a memory of their stay or a tradition thing .. so in 2 years time .. i may be doin tat as well .. heheh :) the movie was really funny with phua chu kang and the boarders idol .. and lots of black humour and really idiotic funny scene .. :P anyway .. it was really good .. and the soundtrack was good as well .. it ended around 11-ish ..everyone was kinda tired and had to go to sleep early cos the next day would be their muckup day .. sadly ..there was a prank when tisha and vannesa ran out ddt .. they thew a stink bomb at our corridoor~!!! it was seriously so stinky !!! but then fearny made them blew it and sprayed air freshener ..

FINAL MORNING!!
"wake up wake up" . .. the yr 12s were awake and singing and blowing their whistles to wake us up .. chloe was singing in a terrible tone .. i guess no one could go back to sleep after the amount of noise created .. almost every1 jumped up and went to the lawn ..it was freezing cold but we still got splashed cos we were late..imagine how cold it is ..
we played lots of games tat morning .. fun but wet and dirty ..
firstly they had to identify our team as we dun haf any uniform .,,so they put make-up on us .. gel our hair ..shaving cream and toothpaste all over every1 .. it was really dirty and grousome .. after tat .. they made us slurped this jelly thing which tasted really sweet .. every chs ppl would know wat to do .. spit it out when no1 was watching .. hehehe . . i dint slurp as much as others did .. which i reckon was a good thing .. then we had to do this rope thingy .. we had to tie ourselves up using the rope going between each n every member's shirt .. it was really tickling when the rope passed ur body .. anyway ..it was kinda easy becos tammi came up with a really smart way to make it go faster //.. then we had to go to 2 tubs of dirty muddy yucky water which was filled with soil and grass and watever tat we might not wanna know .. we had to bob apples and pear .. the other tub even had food in it and we had to stick our feet and hands in to find 20cents ..it was so dirty tat seriously u cant find anything in there ... ! oh ..there was this giant slide at the oval . with soap all over on it .. it was really fun but too bad when it came to our turn .. there aint any soap left .. and we can slide down~! >.< but it was still cool though!
lastly .. it ended up with water fight .. u guys can imagine wat happen lar .. we juniors even tried to wet our seniors with muddy dirty water which they used for apple bobbing .. but the tub was too heavy and tat's y we failed ... >.< but it was great fun .. :)

breakfast tat day was the best ever .. we had hot breaky and the combination of almost every hot breaky tat we could get for the entire year .. when the dish was served .. every1 was like gobbling and stuff .. it was really good~! this kinda occations happened so often in chs but yet it happen oni once a year here .. sob sob .. >.< but it was great !

feeling: guilty .. sorry .. >.<

hmm .. havent actually updated my blog for a long time .. now tat i realised and noticed .. oopz .. well ..actually i've a really good reason for it ~!! see my mum, sis and bro .. technically every1 is here except for my dad .. so i was kinda busy enjoying our reunion ..tat;s why i dint have time to update this blog .. so ...thousand appologies ya~!! actually .. i'm a busy girl~!! :P

SWIMMING SPORTS

on tues .. which was like a week ago .. we had our annual swimming sports. . overheard that it was gonna be really boring but then it turned out to be better than i expected .. coz firstly i wasnt in any of the competition and i didnt have to be nervous .. :P hehehe ..and the other part was tat i was staying and cheering for my hse-rosslyn with mandy and sally.. i found it more fun when i was cheering with them rather than doin nothing .. when we got bored ..we drew some cheer on each other's hands. . it was kinda funny .. we walked around in this stadium which i hadnt been before .. it's somewhere next to our rowing place.. and it was really really humongous .. seriously u could get lost in it . but it was really nice as in new and modern .. oh ya~!!! something really funny happened .. i was at the first row on the way there ... mandy and i took a few pics ... and while we were taking .. somehow .. my slipper fell into the steps ..~!! luckiily the doors were closed and directly after it's opened .. i ran out for it ~!! phew .. luckily no one except mandy saw it .. or else it would be damn embarassing~!! >.< yupz .. fearny-head of boarding was late for lunch . .. around 20 of us were waiting for her to arrive.. and lunch wasnt tat good anyway ..cos it was just plain sandwich and juices with a big biscuit ..and i duno why after eating it .. my tongue was so sweet .. but we dun have any money to buy some chips or salty food .. or mayb i'm just a big eater~!! :P jesh, tammi, hippe swam tat day .. we cheered for them despite our hses ... and they did a wonderful job~!! soon after they announced the winers -balmoral .. and rosslyn came 4th .. we went back to the boarding hse .. the bus trip back was something similiar to my bustrip during badminton matches .. i was sitting with megan and we chatted quite a lot .. :)

WEDNESDAY

hmm .. i guess nothing much happened .. went for rowing in the morning .. i found out something very fascinating .. i read faster and absorbed whateva i read easier in the bus than in my room .. so i've decided that i'll just bring on my history readin material or any other reading stuff to rowing bus trip // cos normally i just looked out at the scenery outside which i
've kinda bored of.. but now.. i've got something better to do -read!! hehehe .. but i missed out on 20 minutes of catching up with the sleep~!! >.< and my hands are starting to have blisters .. aiks .. it's not a very nice thing to be seen as it is now very disgusting and kinda painful when i stretched it .. have to come up with some good idea to prevent it ..

FAMILY ARRIVED MELBOURNE ~!! yeah~!
:)

Mum and sis Arrived Melbourne~!!! it was a very special day and a day tat i've been looking forward to since the begining of the term .. :P cos they are coming and i'm sorta alone here .. if they come here means i'm not that lonely anymore .. :) i guess u guys understand my joy rite? heheheh ;0 anyway .. went to look for them directly after school's over.. but abit delay cos i've forgoten this and tat and stuff ..yeah ..so .. went out with sarah cos she was going home to camberwell as well ..so .. go together lor .. got ppl to accompany me 1/3 the journey mar .. anywayz. .. after sarah went down the tram .. i was basically alone on the whole tram ride.. took out my md and started listening to it .. in the mean time i was doozing off ... something really stupid happened.. i was kinda half asleep so when i reached this place called elizabeth st .. i saw the building saying "Mecure hotel" .. so i was kinda blur even though i knew tat my mum was stayin at swaston st .. i went off directly without second thoughts .. and then .. ya .. i asked the receptionist to check and try to hunt for my mum's name. . and no matter how hard he tried .. there was none .. oh well -.-! i wasnt suprise at all .. so i got back up the tram and went to swaston st .. found the right hotel .. "Mecure Welcome Hotel" so .. undoubtly went in ... saw my mum sleeping at the couch while waitn for nme ,, ..*.* so happy~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
went upstairs to their room ..saw sis and bro .. :) happy happy ~!! the hotel wasnt tat greaT but who cares~!!!!!!! anyway .. went out for lunch at this red silk restaurant ... mum said the food was alrite .. and there were mostly teenagers who went there .. had my chinese food for the first time of the term .. yumm .. fried noodles .. porridge .. rice, ,, and alot more~!! yummmmmmmmm.... :) went and walked around after tat .. was great fun !@@ @@

Sat ..
i had rowing in the morning so i was up very early .. with my back aching cos the position i slept probably wasnt tat comfy as we 3 people squashed in 2 beds .. anyway .. my blister popped and it was very painful tat it wasnt funny .. >.< my hands are literately like the construction workers hand. . but i guessed we improved a bit from the beginning when all of us were out of time .. and our coach- john was the cox .. he steered the boat for us .. i guess he was a bit courageous as he stood up in the middle of our row just to tell us the correct technique .. it was really hard to balance and it must be so scary as anyone could just fall into the water. . :P karen wasnt there tat day cos of her brother and some stuff.. so anisha took her seat .. i no longer cox cos anisha is now fasting and she dun haf strength anyway .. so .. i'm in 2nd seat .. stroke side .. :)
after rowing i went back to the hotel and took a shower. .. after tat .. guess what i did - slept .. not very suprising yeah?~!!! hehehe .. i slept for like 2 oor 3 hours .. i was lazy to wake up but i had to or else i wouldnt have any good lunch .. went to a restaurant near the time zone .. called chatter box where u get cheap yummy food plus desert for really cheap ... :P it was recommended by cx .. so u guys can guess how reasonable priced it was.. after tat ..went to walk around the city .. tried to shop something cheap and nice but sadly .. none of them looked good on me .. so i dint managed to get any .. but instead .. i bot 4 sushi rolls for me n my family .. waited for them to come back so tat we can eat together .. as i was planning where to have dinner .. i met my seniors from boarding hse inc. hui ying, ruth , sharlotte, charlene and steph k .. they came to city to buy gifts for the committee and captains who would be leaving soon .. they invited me to have dinner with them .. which was something very nice .. i ate with them in some chinese restaurant .. guess wat i ordered?? nothing much better than -hainan chicken rice.. hahaha .. something not very special indeed . .but oh well .. wat to do .. it's the hawker kinda food that i missed the most. . so ..even though it's very expensive. .still ... it's worth it~!! went back to the hotel and showered after dinner .. waited for mum sis n bro to come back .. they returned quite late. .about 10.30 .. they said penguin parade was freezing cold but they had fun which was wat i was glad to hear .. we planned to have a cup of coffee initially but then ... we didnt cos every1 was too tired .. >.< so .. it was postponed and cancelled. . we did something more interesting - sleeping.

SunDAy ..

at first everyone tot tat i would be going to chinese school ..even me myself tot tat i would be going as well .. but then ..in the end i was too lazy ,, :P i woke my mum up just to have breakfast with me at the hotel .. then we chattered and caught up alot . . which made me feel reluctant to go to chinese school .. which i would have to take an hour of train to and from .. plus .. we were going to meet up with my cousin and yum cha at the chinese restaurant .. food .. which made me feel more like wagging chinese classes. .. :P so noti yeah .. but then .. it was worth it ..just to spend more time with family and relax .. :) heheh ..then my cousin seng .. brought us to this restaurant in china town to have dim sum and all the yummy gourmet food~! after that . .. we went to their hse and planned to visit their grandparents .. but they werent in ..so we stayed in my couz hse .. leong showed us this hilarious chinese movie .. a prank version of "mou kan dou" ... damn funny ... then we went back to our hotel in the city ... planned to meet up with my guardian but too bad she was busy and i had to meet her oni at the exeat weekend .. so .. we decided to have a cup off coffee in a cafe near qv -chocolate bar or something .. yupz .. it was a really special cafe .. their theme was all about choc .. firstly .. they have a sakeo .. where u cook ur own hot chocolate .. as in .. they give u a pot kinda thingy .. with a candle below .. heating up the milk and u have to keep adding the chocolate depending how sweet u want it to be .. :P the straw was very fascinating. . it was made of metal .. and it's sorta like a spoon and a straw combined together .. we also ordered a fraco or duno wat;s its name. .which is fresh strawberry dip into choc .. deeelllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiciiooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. seriously .. it was really good !! yumm .. oh ya~! we met edwin there too ... *.*
had dinner with my other cousin from my mum;s side .. he has share in this restaurant in china town that i oni knew tat day even though i've passed by so many times .. !! anyway .. ya .. he bought us dinner which was italian food .. was very bloated and filled after tat .. while i got off the hotel .. jon saw me at the other side of the road .. duno how come or why he saw me .. but he did .. i tot i heard someone familiar but i hardly could recognised him due to his super long hair .. he was going to have dinner at somewhere nearby ..so later on .. brought my mum to meet up his parents .. they chatted for quite a while outside the restaurant .. but i had to rush back to the boarding hse :'( .. jon told me they chattered for about an hour plus .. hmm wonder what they chat bout leh?~! anyway .. had a really really great weekend but felt very sad as it was too fast and i had to say goodbye to them again! i've now decided tat i hate parting and goodbyes!!!!

Monday, October 11, 2004

today ... i'm so sorry to all those people tat i'd promised tat i would be tough .. cos i cant make nor fufil what i promised .. this time.. i dint cry for myself .. or my homesickness ... but this time i cried for a parting .. a parting tat we may oni meet up say... by miricale or by purpose organisation?? or else.. i guess.. we could hardly ever meet again .. her name is joenah ..she was my ex-roomate, i guess..she's my best fren in australia lift me up when i was down.. treat me as wat my malaysia frens treated me .. but now ..she;s in brunei .. so far away .. but yet so close .. someone says tat it;s oni a flight away .. but yet ..it aint easy for me to go there .. moeny . parents and stuff.. aikz .. i dun really want her to leave me alone here in this boarding hse .. i need her support and at least her to cheer me up.. she's the reason of my laughter... we used to do a lot of stuff together .. when she was my roomate .then after the room-change.. although we werent as close as the time when we were roomies. . but still we went shopping together .. and we still do heaps of stuff togehter .. it's very comforting to have her around .. she is just like some1 back home and how i would be like when i was at home.. but now. .she's gone ..and everything is so quiet.. i felt so down .. not really knowing wat to do .. >.<

i hope i can be strong and carry on .. i wanna be strong and carry on ..

yo!~!

feeling : such a pig

i woke up early for rowing today .. as our crew have an extra person .. (which is me) .. so the coach asked me to skull .. it was very much similiar to rowing just tat skull has to oars and there;s oni one person in the boat instead of 5 normally .. it was very hard to balance .. and kinda scary .. i was so worried tat i might fall into the water ,,but thankfully i didnt. . i was coached by the head of rowing .. (pride .. pride .. *.*) heheh ... and an experienced skuller.. alex ..
she tot me how to skull correctly and the golden rule of skulling tat is not to let go of ur oars ..1!!! ...once.. i nearly let go mine ..and they were both screaming not to let go or else i'll fall in .. :) hahaha.. i quickly hold tight to it mann .. it was great fun .. !! but then i prefer rowing ..as it is more of teamwork.. and u wouldnt be alone!

after rowing .. i was so tired tat after a shower.. i dropped and fell asleep for less than a minute ... and slept for 4 hours!! after i woke up // i ate .. i felt such a pig cos all i did was just eating n sleeping the whole day .. >.< not funny !! all the rowing workout would just be gone after tat.. so sad~!! >.<

something really funny happened last nite .. while i was toking to jonathan on the phone .. i was too tired tat i fell asleep~!! hehhee .. he was playin zhang dong liang;s "dang ni gu dan ni hui xiang qi sui?" song .. it was really nice but i was too tired .. so funny ~@!hahha .. he told me tat he was screaming n yelling at the other end but i was too dead to hear him .. i oni heard him when he out down the phone and called me again (we were using mobile phone) :P .. goodness.. so embarrassing~! :P

happy camping and telematch to qm n guides ..
good luck to scouts campfire

feelings: tired, exhausted

probably most of u guys know tat i'm joining rowing for the last term rite? well .. since tat i've got a keen interest and motivated by it .. i'm gonna continue it despite the EXPENSIVE fees tat's gonna cost one of my airticket .. >.< but rowing was something new and i always wanted to try .. there wasnt anything like this in malaysia .. and partially .. i can tell my frens tat i've rowed before !~! hehehe :P but the main reason is tat i wanna keep fit and loose the weight .. as rowing is damn energy consuming .. more than i ever tot it would be ..

we have trainings every mon, wed, fri and sat mornings and thurs afternoon .. in the mornings.. we have to wake up at 5.20 to catch the bus tat was gonna leave at 5.45 .. then it'll take another 1hr to reach there .. after that.. either we start rowing in the water or we;ll have land fitness training or ergo or maybe something else // .. but it aint easy work ..
last wed.. we had our first training .. pau and i was still trying to decide whether to join or not to join as it requires alot of commitment .. then at nite ..we made up our mind to go .. then ..wed morning. . off we go .. we went on the water rowing .. my crew was made up of karen kwok (yr 11 senior) , pau, tammi and i .. anisha was the cox (someone who steers the boat) and later on she swapped with tammi .. we had heaps of fun .. our coach was a very nice lady .. then we went back to school ..
thurs after school training was hyper tiring .. i had my muscles aching till now .. we did fitness .. we had to run .. push up.. squats .. sprints .. did this continuously for an hour non stop ..well ..as for me .. i'm among the not fit group .. which took 3/4 of my life off dee doing all this tiring stuff >.< i was the slowest of all .. and was so exhausted after tat .. it was so embarassing like how not fit i am .. compared to the aussie ..
today .. we did rowing on the water . .. we were split into groups .. and accourding to karen .. the boat tat we were about to take was very crappy .. i kinda dun belief it .. but then after rowing for a while . i understood ... it was hard to balance .. and the oares were like wood hard .. ~!! they made my hands rough and blistered ~!!!! .. but it was fun .. despite waiting in the cold for the bus arrived late!! .. the teachers forgotten to book the bus~!! how could they ??we froze in the wind for 15 minutes ~~ >.< but we did get there and managed to row for an hour or so .. and we rowed more than we normally do .. but the funniest part of all is tat the boat never go in a straight line?~! weird .. we nearly crashed into the ducks once~!! hehehhe ..
rowing was cool ~! literately freezing cold ~! tmr have training ..have to organize transport ..troublesome ..

homework : .. tonnes of them .. science ..history assignments and stuff.. but then .. my worst fear is still english ~!!!!!!!!!!! .. cant fail it .. must get better grade than a B .. normally i get C or D .. desperately hoping tat i can get a better grade for this coming exams~! then i'll be very happy dee .. so many stuff to be worried of .. >.<



i cant get used to the boarding hse without joenah ~!! it's so different ..

i miss home
i miss my frens ..

i kinda cant wake up this morning .. my eyes were painful and shut tightly .. but i made it after a while .. i've gotta tidy up my bed later .. very messy with lots of tissue last nite .. not tat i'm gross. .but just tat i'm depressed and sad and it was late at nite .. so .. kinda lazy as well . .
it was all jon's fault !!! he started it @!! but he was very patient and nice to tok to him and trying to cheer me up .. but then .. he forbid me from looking at my photos n replyin sms at nite ... cos according to him . .i would feel even worse .. which i may have agree .. so i did wat he said .. and called cx .. he was crapping all the way , and made me forgot the fact tat i was away .. cos he kept bullyinh n teasin me .. but they somehow made me think of home .. the food n ppl ..aiks .. but i was alrite ,, :P

boarding hse food was bad .. not as good as msia definately .. and today our menu had a new look .. it was checkeed so tat it;s healthy .. anywayz, we had muffin today .. it kinda remind me f zhien wei cos he said to bring him back a muffin .. :P ppl are almost back from hols .. but joenah wasnt here .. she's not gonna be .. i miss her .. and things were very different without her /.. seriously VerY different ..
wat the sayings are really true : u wont treasure some1 unless they're gone .. just like frens n other relaitionships .. but i'll still wish her luck n all the best .. i'm gonna miss this crazy, pretty .. girl .. >.<

feeling : not so good. .kinda crnky.. wanna cry out loud yet dreading for the coming hols

safely arrived today ..was kinda tired .. the flight was slightly delayed and was kinda bumpy but it was alrite ... watched "white chicks" which wasnt shown in msia yet .. was stupidly funny .. and also a romance movie becoz there wasnt any other choices .. but i dint get to watch the ending~! aiks .. u know wat/? they are screening "terminal" and " dodgeball" ..but it was oni at the return trip .. oh well =.=! i sat on the aisle seat,, not the perfect window seat tat i alwayz wanted but it was better than middle seat ..
sat with this man who was goin to get married .. he was really nice and kinda fatherly ..

well .. not to worry u guys but ..err .. i cant control my tears ~! i was about to be ok but then some1 triggered it of me .. i was feeling hippy and ok initially but then as i called and tok .. the few lasts one made me cry so badly ..and of course saying bye to my family members too made my tears flowed .. it was so embarassing.. i dint want it to happen but still .. "it's just emotions .. taking me over.." >.<

i'm still considering whtether should i join rowing .. it is so expensive ... my parents dun like me doing it but i wanted to do it .. it's gonna keep me fit and disciplined .. :P not tat i'm not .. hehehe /.. any ideas /?

also .. i'm very sad upon joenah's departure .. joenah was once my roomate and we were very close ! but now..she;s gonna go back to brunei and not coming back anymore to study in australia .. i know she;s gonna be happier there as her frens n family are there ..she's not going to be as happy in australia as in brunei .. it;s for her happiness .. i dun want her to go.. but i know tat i cant be selfish ..i know tat things would be different // it was so sudden .. i still cant believe she's doing this .. i miss her .. :(

i've unpacked .. my room is in good neat conditions ..

actually .. this may sound ridiculous but even though i just reached here today .. i',m wanting to go back already .. so lookin 4ward for the hols .. not in a mood to study as my mind is filled with hols n frens n families ..where i would be home .. but i know tat i'll have to be patient .. and hopefully with my frens here .. we;ll all make it through///....
