i duno why ... maybe i'd mentioned this before .. i ALWAYS always ..fell asleep in maths methods. . and this isnt very productive ! .. omg! wonder how could i cope with the lessons iin the future since mrs K speaks like monotone!! >.<

i did heaps of sports yesterday!!
in the morning.. i went for rowing .. then afterschool .. i was supposed to go joggin with tammi .. but then didi was teaching her chem .. and i actually fell asleep while i was watching them .. aikz.. >.< but we went joggin after tat .. oni a 2km run .. i was quite puffed out since we had to sprint at the end ... later in the nite .. went swimming with cate beatrice and lydia .. the water was seriously so gross@@@!!!! .. got ppl's hair lar .. bandaid lar ... and all the yucky stuf ...my legs were so itchy when i was in the water!!! ewwww!!! GROSS@@@!!! ><
anyway .. last nite i dint do any homework .. cos i was busy chit chating eating n working out.. but i dun think my workout was worth a thing .. cos i cooked noodles after swimming .. and somehow my noodles seemed to be a smaller packet compared to others cos elisa n i tot it looked like it's a smaller portion .. WEIRD .. or maybe it's just us who are piggin out ..
made a phone call at nite .. felt like talking to someone back home .. or maybe calling ppl back home every weekend had been a routine .. but last nite i wasnt in any good luck .. called jm .. she wasnt at home .. same thing as junhui .. but then .. when i called chun wei chongshen kah ee and kahpoh .. all of them were sleeping .. guess they must have been real busy doing their work n studying since exams are around the corner .. GAMBADE !! ,,, hope they wont stress out too much .. ended up talking to patrick boy boy yesterday .. chatted quite a fair bit .. and then i tried calling kah ee again and FINALLY she was awake!! but then the line got cut off suddenly >.< was quite funny when i sms the ppl i called ..they were all in such big reactions!! hehehe... :P maybe i should called them more often~ .. hehe .. since calling ppl would make others happy n i wont be tat lonely .. but anyway.. there exams are so near .. should really bother them .. :P

regatta SATURDAY
karen n i were both so anxious since we swapped sides and this would be the first time tat we raced in this formation ... super duper gan jiong ... but we went through both races fairly alrite .. we werent as close as the second race but i was so puffed out ..apparently we did fairly well in the races .. dun think so .. but all the other coaches said so .. no matter how well we do .. we still get last!!! >.< ... aikz .. my legs are like jelly after the races .. now they are like so tired and no energy~ .. or maybe i'm too heavy to support my own weight~! >.< anyway .. we finally agreed tat boarders are real pigs ..cos we ate so much compare to others~ ,, .. we had a bag of cereals .. then chocolate cookies .. plums. . and lots more .. nomatter how much sports i do .. i still get fat and i know why .. hehehe .. . took heaps of picture today~!! :) pau's mum fetched us to geelong today ..this was the first time tat i dint fall asleep through out the whole to n from journey ..cos her mum doesnt know the way .. and we had to stay up to lookout 4 her .. . we were all exchanging lame jokes on the car .. .so fun :) i like to be around karen .. .she's so funny n nice.. she takes care of us .. well not in a caring way .. but i duno how to say .. i think i would miss her when she leaves yr 12!@
when we came back for dinner we were all so depresesd tat there's no food left@@!!!!! 4 of us had to share a meal !!!! and today the principle was having dinner with us! we were already so tired from rowing and now no food@@ ... our face changed to sad and tired n looked like those who were really starving kind... but then the staff were nice enough to pay us dinner at mackers!! so yay!! got mcD for dinner:) fattening but once in a while :) we should treat ourselves!!!

RoWing TALK
well .. most of u maybe expecting tat there was some seminar or someone giving us relevant information regarding bout the technique or at least something to do with the race since the head of school gals is coming .. (hosg is the biggest thing in the whole rowing season .. basically everyone trained for 1/2 year just for entering this competition) well ... it's all not true .. instead .. we talked bout the relationship among us .. how we felt towards our cox and how unhappy she was being at her position now ... aikz .. things tat happened in gals school .. >.< bitching and talking behind ppl's back .. i know it happens but then ... it seems to be something really common here .. i dun like it .. and i just duno how to react once someone bitches bout others .. unless i really hate tat person ... i admit i'm being a hypocrite .. but aikz .. i duno wat to do or wat to say .. or mayb wat should i do or what shouldnt i say .. i'm so self conscious now .. i HATE it!! .. i wanna be CAREFREE! ..
anyway ... karen n i had just swapped sides in the boat .. she used to row in the left side n i'm on the right .. now we both were at different sides. .. and it simply feels weird!! she said she used to have hope to win the race .. but now she has to rethink bout it .. same here ... we went jogging n stuff. .. but it's so hard ... just have to try~ !!

WEDnEsDaY - MaDe ROwiNg T-ShiRT
there had always been a tradition of making rowing t-shirt in each crew ..as remembrance or for fun .. yupz .. we're not gonna go against the tradition .. :P so .. yeah ..this year .. i seemed to be the one who was keen on doing hte shirt so .. i had been mentioning about it on the bus alll the way from albert park to school ..and so .. karen decided to ask her uncle who was doing this kinda tailoring stuff .. and we all had decided tat we'll all go to his shop for sample and asked all about our muddled confusion and we;re gonna do it as a crew~ .. but in the end ..turned out tat oni tammi me n karen who went .. anisha dint wanna go. . and pau too lazy /...so .. we told them we'll be making the decisions for them .. and they said they dint mind .. so ..off we go ...
took a tram there .. it's near toorak road .. we changed tram at camberwell .. then ..karen tammi n i are all planning to get somethign when we're done .. karen wanted icecream ...tammi wanted boost . .and i wanted to withdraw money ..cos i'm broke. . >.< ya .. went to the shop .. his uncle was kinda busy .. he was busy serving others ..so ..it took us quite long browsing and looking around while we discussed wat we actually wanted .. tammi wanted the real tight tops whereas karen wanted the loose n baggy ones ..for me i kept annoying them with cute logos to put on our shirt .. in the end ..we dint have the logos ..and the shirts are quite big .. :) it costs us about 40 bucks inc gst and the coach's shirt with names stitched on it ~ .. when we went back .. anisha said she dint wanna buy it ..tammi was so pissed .. but in the end .. everything was settled .. cant wait to get our shirt .. :)

ThUrSdAy .. RoWiNg WithOUT the COX
anisha our cox apparently had to attend some physics course .. so she dint manage to turn up for the training ... so .. our coach .. jon had to cox us ... he asked us to do some basic exercise .. and we felt tat it was way better than how anisha did it .. and we were all so happy boout it .. :P it was really obvious tat she dint ccox as well as others ... in another words ... she ..

FIREWORKS * mandy n tammi n i lied on the grass on the oval to watch the fireworks :P it was so pretty n so nice :) it was so big n so close ... i think it lasted for more than 20 minutes .. and it was definately nicer than the malaysia ones .. :P not ditching but this is the fact .. after the fireworks .. the whole oval was covered with smoke .. >.< took a few pics and then under ppl's company ..went back to the boarding hse .. was really enjoying myself alot more than i did last year ... :)

My FIRST Regatta ( Rowing Competition) and a YUMMY DINNER with COUSINS~

so tired~!! just came back from dinner with my 2 cousins~ so full~!! had jap food at kew ~! unagi terayaki ... yummm ..so full~!!! :) it was just so comforting being with them ..they gave me the sense of being at home .. a feeling of family .. when i was eating i had a sudden gush- my tearing were about to start falling out .. but i was trying real hard to control my tears .. cos i kept telling myself tat it;s a gathering n we all should be happy~!! control my emotions or else i'll freak them out~!! >< well .. i enjoyed each n every second tat we spent together .. even though it was just ermm .. watched dvd at couz hse n ate out .. tat's about it .. but it was the atmostphere and the homey feeling tat was inside my heart~!! so warm n consoling~!! but made me miss home even more. .. well .. at least i still manage to control my feelings. . it's a good sign tat i'm MATURING eh~ .. hehehe .. :P

anyway .. regatta was at geelong today .. pau n i had to wake up at rowing trainings time tat was 5.20 to get a lift to geelong by the year 9 coach Fi .. she was kind enough to drive us down .. the place was an hour away .. she had to be there at 7 so .. we drove down there about 5ish 6 .. pau n i slept all the way down there .. she picked up bronny and anna.. another coaches.. her car was so tiny and so packed .. quite dirty too .. but who cares . pau n i slept al the way there.. too tired and sleepy.. hehehe.. .
when we reached there .. we helped the other crew to rigger up and load the boat. . then pau n i sat down n ate our breaky .. then along came karen anisha and tammi .. we sat n chatted a while with the coach n stuff.. something tat u would normally do before the race.. then we ran for warm up .. 10.04 is our first race // so .. we went to the starting point about 10 minutes before .. and reached just in time .. started off real badly .. and we cant even catch up with the others.. they were like far ahead of us .. we sorta gave up in the beginning .. >.< yuzp .. sounded real bad eh/...
after the first race .. we went and had lunch ... we discussed about our racing plan and then were chatting n been really optimism .. which was a good thing. . we discussed laughed n planned for the next race .. which was a good sign .. then we started to get ready 1/2 before .. warm up n stuff ..
12.30 boat was at the starting point /..., ready.. attention ... row~!!!!!
we started off well the second race..we were just so close to the 2nd boat~!! we kept hearing the cox closer to us shouting n asking them to row faster. ..we did a MUCH better job this time than the first race.. was really awesome~! even though we still came last but still ..it was the effort. . the team spirit and most of all was tat we all tried our best~@!! i bet if we bring up our fitness. ..we could have won~!! ..well .. not won but at least wont get last .. :) tat's our aim .. hehhee

we still had to go to school .. no exceptions .. aizkz.. ppl dint really take cny as a big thing here. .. wonder why ..dun they find it fun n interesting n exciting?>?? hmmm??? xp anyway .. i was doozing off in a few lessons .. particularly maths methods .. when my teacher was talking so gently and in such a flat tone .. or whenever we were doing excercises in either english chem or bio lesson.. it's not a very promising sign .. aikz .. >.< maybe i should go to bed earlier eh ...
went swimming that afternoon with hippie and belah n leanne this new gal .. leanne was super fit~! she never stopped for a rest for a whole hour !! gosh~!! after swimming i found it kinda weird.. swimming on nian chu yi~!??? hmmm ... oh well .. belah n hippie n i were now trying to loose weight~@ ..they'd said it's the best time to keep fit now cos it's summer~!! hehehe ...
dinner was asean cuisine with all sorts of chinese specialty.. but still no yeesang or the REAL new year food. . ... the bhse tried so hard to prepare asean food. . appetitezors were sushi!! and caesor salads~!! hehehehe ..wow ..wat a nice combinations eh ??? then we had some dim sum, satay n fried rice n noodles ..i have to declare tat they arent tat good okie? ... they sounded really attracting but in fact they arent k~ pau kitty n jesh started crying during dinner~ they missed home n felt depressed having to celebrate cny here .. aikz .. i tried not to think about those sad stuff..esp when i'm on the dinning table.. i have food to distract me .. i understand their feeling but they just sorta changed the atmostphere .. .aikz .. this year wasnt tat great anyway .. oh well .. felt kinda bad .. i phoned mum .. told her bout everything ..she said i just have to endure it n try to look things in the different perspective.. i guess she's right..

tell u guys something rahter gruesome, embarassing n sorta funny ..

it's not tat funny k ..it's really really GROSS ..ewww.... i washed my shoes with the water from the lake .. hoping tat it wont stay ..aikz .. stinky~!! ... when i asked mum and dad whether it's a bad sign or so .. they were all like happily laughin and then say no no~!! it's an ultimate good sign for good fortune~ hmmm ??? i was like rite =.=! dad even asked me to give him my ic no.. he said he;s gonna buy lottety tim~!! ..

studies been hectic and so busy~!! sleeping at 12.30 each nite and waking up at 5.30~ i know this is so unhealthy .. but i've got no choice. .. tonnes of work to do .. cant finish them .. maybe i'm slow and blur~@ >.< oh god. .. help me~! i'm so gonna die.. . i havent finished reading my novel which is due this coming wed ... i still have about 100 pages to catch up with .. english gotta do this thousand words of essay .. and gmath* gotta catch up with the exercises tat i've missed out after wagging school for a day~!! >.< GEEeeeeSSHHH ... now tat i've turned down to the viruses .. i'm in serious annoyance..cant get a good nite sleep falling sick.. which is not funny at all .. >.< guys .. i apologise for not being able to reply ur mail in the very first minute ..cos i'm busy with homework and running out of time .. i promise i will reply u guys once i find time k?~!!

i cant hold on my tears everytime after my family phoned me . i duno why .. doesnt matter whether it was a long or short conversation .. and i just miss u guys so much~!! >.< i guess i need sometime to settle down .. maybe a week or two will do~ i'm trying my best to cope with it .. .first week dint progress that well ..esp when i'm in a single room .. but i guess it's getting better and better as time passes .. this made me called jon n cx more than i used to last year. . cx said something which was rather true ..loneliness for him is just like flu.. tiring.. but loneliness for me it's like aids.. hehhe :P .. anyway . i'm so thankful to have them here with me .. wanna say THANK U to both of them for cheering me up at my hardest moments .. and also thank to the optus australia phone network for giving me free phone calls till 12 .. cos if it's 24 hrs free.. i may face serious problems lack of sleep for i would be on the phone till late nite .. xp

last weekend which was saturday? ya.. we boarders had a closed weekend.. not allowed to go anywhere .. but to stay as a "boarding hse family" .. hmmmm .. ya rite .. karen pau tammi n i still managed to slip it through with the excuse of rowing regatta.. which thankfullly was cancelled. . :P cos we're all too shitty to be competing with others. .. may have to bring up the fitness level.. >.< workout those FATS~!! ya ... n it was sorta depressing cos our crew lacks of teamwork n ethusiasm .. maybe it's time for me to do something .. yupz~ the coach was like giving up upon us .. ppl doesnt really bother~!! such grief! .. omg! cant let it continue like this! HAVE to Do sOMeTHing!@@@!!!! okie.. then we had lunch there and had our seconf training sessio which was fitness wiht gareth .. he wasnt as tough as cameron (the head of rowing tat really sucks~!) .. then karen tammi and i went to china town to get some supplies of FOOD~! well .as u guys know boarding hse food really sucks .. incase i need to starve~ .. better save some supplies ... :P went back to the boarding hse after all the winnings :P wasnt really sure was it cheaper in china town or kmart .. anyhow .. it;s definately cheaper in msia but too bad i dun have enough storage for my luggage ... or esle it'll taste more homey~!!!! got back to the boardin hse by tram ... tam n karen was sleeping while i was struggling to keep myself awake as i was trying to read my book~!! fighting real hard to keep my eyes open .. found it was the toughest and HARDEST thing to do on earth when u';re so so tired ~ when i was back in the bhse.. my bed was like heaven as i slept on it~!! so comfy~!!! guess i was really tired~
went to wattle park after the nap .. dint really wanna get up but was forced to .. >.< katrina led us there as she claimed that she knew the way .. we had to climbed up fences and then jumped down from a real high place~!! walked about a k to reach there .. as fearnie said we had to interact with the new gals .. and play games and of course eat dinner~!!! we had pizza and grapes .. :) the games was kinda crappy .. well .. none tat we havent played before .. tunnel ball .. eggs on spoon .. those sorts .. but the committee did try and make an effort .. so APPLAUSE to them ... we walked back to the bhse in the rain ... they took us via a route tat was just plain straight and then there's the gate~!! tammi karen n i were like thanks KATRINA for the workout~! hehehe ...

BACK TO AUSTRALIA

guys ... have safely touched down yesterday .. sorry for "urging" u guys to reply my email.. but it's just tat i miss u guys heaps .. this year is a rather different year .. .i've got single room this year .. a room to my own .. >.< it has it's good n it's bad .. cos when u're alone in ur room u've got privacy and i wont have to bother bout the messiness in my room .. and also wont bother anyone when i stayed up late at nite .. *it's damn good for ppl like me who enjoys toking on the phone late at nite * muahhaahha .... :) but on the other hand though .. being alone in a room is very lonely at times when u really need company and when i *as usually clumsy* misplaced my stuff and cant find it~! >.< aikz .. well ..it's just half a year of the good and bad .. i'm sure i'll make it through whilst enjoying it ..
the flight was alrite .. nothing much .. just tat i met a senior, steph keah there .. and a guys from chs named shin .. well .. he randomly asked me whether i was chs when i was shopping at one-u .. dint know him b4 tat .. steph gave me a lift to her hse .. and from her hse i took a cab back to the boarding hse .. omg~! my luggages were so heavy .. .37.6 k~ luckily i dint get charged for overweight as i;m on student visa .. hehe .. :P phew~

anyway ... once i reached the boarding hse .. was welcomed by the frenly staff. . ms cox ... she said i was allowed to stay in the boarding hse and not go to school ~!! hehe ..so .. i unpacked and unpacked with my body covered with dust .. occasionally i sneaked for breaks and slept .. i was real tired ~!! well .. all day work and it looked much better now~ after unpacking 4 luggages full of stuff and 3 plastic bags of storing .. :P was kinda happy meeting frens here. . after not seeing them for 2 months .. bet they dint miss me .. >.< but it's good to see those familiar faces ..

school ~!
after skipping first day of school .. had to get up early for rowing today .. and it was raining from morning till now .. and it's like 5 now .. anyway .. ya ~ luckily i dint have to go n row in the rain but i did real bad on land .. we had ergo sessions... and the coach wanted to test us whether did we do any of the fitness thingy .. i dint ..so i was like dying when i go on the ergo machine~!! seriously unfit and very worrying as the competiition is this saturday.. i know i'm gonna die~!!! >.< so ..the coach is making us do heaps n heaps of fitness~! cham lor~!! >.< and he;s gonna be real harsh to us .. cham lor!! so worried~!! how leh ?? gonna get torchured!! >.< aikz ..enough of rowing.. after that .. was shivering in cold for i cant have a shower after the rain .. apparently my form teacher was real strict.. so i was like running into class .. and dint know wat to do .. once i reached there ..with all the stuff like pe lessons arrangement and forms for RE.. so confusing .. but a good thing bout year 11 is tat i've got spares~ tat is free period for private studies~!! :) in total i've oni got 4 spares though ..compare to others tat have 14 spares or so .. >.< aikz ..
lesson was terrifyin~! with so many different people .. >.< english class was the saddest case of all.. i barely know anyone ..except for those who were in my class last year who are elena misha ashlea emily melissa ... so lonely ~ but i sat next to jackie .. she was real frenly .. just tat i wasnt close to her.. :P she's real nice .. wanna know more bout her~!! as far as i know .. hardly any boarders are in my chemistry and english class .. shit~! chinese was alrite .. the teacher was really cute~!! hehehe with hairstyle like primary school student~! hehehe
