This is at Tokki japanese restaurant on Grattan Streetand their famous meal… can’t remember what’s it called..

One fine day we decided to go to Box Hill to makan…

That day Lih Jiunn went to have a photoshoot… that’s why she’s wearing the hat and looking different… hehe…

We went into a chinese dumpling shop and only called a few dishes, end up paying $2.70 per person… hehe…

Corny followed me back to the city

….

We went to get mini cupcakes from Little Cupcakes at Degraves Street… and finally sat on the grass in front of State Library to enjoy our little picnic there ^^

Then…

we borrowed Pei Yi’s muffin holders and baked our own muffins in my house!! <3

*****************************************************************************

so the first few days of my 2-week break was largely spent makan-ing :/

then we went camping at Grampians o__O where it rained and hailstormed and all the rocky mountain paths were slippery and cold.. pictures later

then we came back to the city with alot of leftover food… hard to BBQ in that weather.. had plenty of fun sharing cars, tents and stories with friends..

*****************************************************************************************

yea there’s lots of work to be done for studio next week…. but i still watched

Boys Over Flowers

Howl’s Moving Castle

Tekkon Kinkreet…

….

<3 Lee Min Ho/Goo Jun Pyo! and Kim Bum/Yi Jung!^^ ~~~~~

typed at 3.45am o_O since spending whole day in uni workin on the assignment today, i went home and spam youtube/forums/DBSKDBSKDBSKDBSKi’m mad!!!! i want to learn sorry sorry dance by super junior!!! hahahhahha

k i b quiet now / . \

ever since the new semester started i’ve been having to do presentations twice a week, ie. for every single studio session. that’s like twice the workload i had last semester. i think it’s the karma i’m getting for slacking last sem.lol. so this sem suffer like hell.

but this week, my lecturer said we’ll just have a little chat… no presentation.. the digital thing could be too much… omg they finally realised they’ve been such hellish slavedrivers? =D that means we have 1 day off!!!

what did i do? pei yi and i went shopping!
first market then supermarket then shopping centre then asian grocery store. lol. bought food food food and more food. didn’t manage to get any clothes/bag/whatever it is people buy when they go shopping -.-

abit unlucky coz we wanted to visit the new Lindt shop in melbourne so badly but when we went there it’s closed for private function.

anyway these pics are taken recently, when i have breaks and had fun and actually remembered to take photos (sometimes i forgot to take photos and all that happened just become vague memories. photos are invaluable :/ )

the photos of me were secretly taken in the fitting rooms at DFO .. i didn’t buy these jackets.. only trying out…

we celebrated Jon Lee’s birthday at the wooden tables at QV mall. jon+max+yat+wan+danny+wendy+lihjiunn+me. cake from bread top. something mocha, very nice ^^

movies i watched:

district 9 – super super geng and realistic! prawn 0__o

the ugly truth – can’t stop smiling/laughing throughout the movie! also learned many new things from it..hahhaa… sorry lah my social skills and appearance so char… (quote: there’s nothing wrong with it [her clothes], except that no one wants to f**k it) … wheeee ~~ can’t wait to watch more movies!!!

=) ok time to gambateh for studio later, in 14 hour’s time. haven’t even sleep yet :/

before i click ‘publish’ and close this…

my chinese doctor: ‘when your parents are not around, religion becomes your parents’

‘any sickness can be cured, except “jue wang” – loss of hope

find something u have faith in and think positive ^^ bad things will eventually end

been walking and walking nonstop, for studio as well as another elective, just to look around at boring old buildings and snapping countless photos of them, then spending hours in front of the computer working like a robot, remind me again why am i here?

i do feel proud of my achievements when i do achieve anything. lol.

i finally found out how to make GIFs in photoshop!!!! excuse my jakun-ness but yea i’m happy

really miss the peaceful days at DCA in malaysia

thanks to nigel who always talk so enthusiastically about architecture, i am more excited about entering the new semester….

only to find that i’m in a very very geng studio!!! alot of highly competent people (whom i know get very high marks in anything) and the tutors are out to get us~lol~but the ladies (tutors) are nice, one of them is especially kind and **paiseh but still wanna say** has an amazing figure, fashion sense and posture T.T so perfect de~

anyhow must persevere loh… but this time very lucky to have pei yi also in this studio… can’t imagine surviving alone T.T

btw the above image is product of 4,5 days constant work on our huge site analysis. pei yi’s beautiful diagrams also deem worthy posting up but i shall seek her permission 1st

when i am stressed i put my pen on paper and start drawing…last time i always draw people’s eyes and whatever i feel is beautiful, but nowadays i only draw a mashimaro on a bed!…. how i miss sleeping!!! lol

especially since when even in sleep i dream about walking about and listening to weird people talking weird things all the time. NO I AM NOT GOING CRAZY…YET hahah

***********

the reason why, i post this up, is because i feel i should vent out my frustrations in order to remain sane and allow my brain to function normally to continue working. you you you you get what im sayin.

hahhaha i hope *certain people understand the *inside joke =.=

minasan, gambarimasho~

my *health* returned to normal yayyyyyyyyy

could it be
- results are out and i survived!

- finally went for a walk at the lake near my house, spotted a pink-brown crane, brought my brother there to film it

it’s not that i suddenly turned into nature fanatic.. but being able to take a relaxing morning walk after like 6 months of constant anxiety and stress is a great thing

- got someone’s birthday cake to eat

- watched amazing hiphop, popping,locking,broadway,jazz,breakdance and even cheerleading dances at the Urban Groove charity concert where my cousin Melissa also performed

they’ve raised RM15000 for the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia!

my cousin Melissa performed 3 different dances but i only took videos of them.. no pics..

i really enjoyed the concert ^^

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee \^o^/

michael jackson was my first musical idol, i used to watch my parents’ cds and videos of his mvs, concert and listen to his songs when i was small. well, smaller than i am now.
michael jackson’s songs are pretty meaningful and his voice is quite pretty and sharp, so these are the reasons why i like his songs.
he’s also very very driven in performing, if u’ve seen his concerts. he always gives 100%, 200%, very talented and all.. invented so many dance moves…

rest in peace michael jackson.. +_+

I managed to check-in on time and they let me through with a 12-kg hand luggage ( I had no time to weigh it, much less re-pack!!!) because it has a laptop inside and sat on air asia – damn lucky got 2 empty seats beside me and slept most of the time on the plane ^^ but i feel bad coz there’re two elderly couples on the other side of the aisle and I should’ve offered to swap seats if they’re uncomfortable, one of them even helped me push my 12kg bag up to the overhead compartment :S and i didn’t help the old lady carry her bag or walk down the stairs at the LCCT (the escalators in the building weren’t working) but she might’ve refused my help anyway coz i had so many things to carry myself *_*

on the note of swine flu, the airplane had a few sick passengers and one of them had fever and didn’t get down from the plane, they took him away for medical care. i knew this from some aunty’s conversation in the toilet. didn’t see any sick people myself.

i woke up this morning with a slight fever. but there’re no other symptoms and i suspect it’s just the overwhelming lack of sleep and heaty food for me *_* when i reached LCCT my parents and brother welcomed me and took me for dim sum breakfast (the same shop next to DCA near Atria , but at their Damansara Utama branch coz got air-con =.=) and then home and my mom took me out to KL to shop for bags, dresses, shoes and work clothes (the shop’s sale season ending soon,  so must go) with her best friend and ate at Secret Recipe twice coz the second time my dad came to have lunch around 4.30 o_O

can’t wait to rest slowly at home *_* and slowly ask my friends and cousin out … later …

the last outing with my Melbourne gang was really … fine .. first time having dinner at Bas-bas-bas-somthing Ristorante on lygon .. the food is incredibly fresh and delicious and rich and awesome! and alot of people turned up.. i wish i had more time to spend with them T.T well photos will be uploaded on facebook later ^^

when i was heading for the airport on my way from Melbourne back to KL, i had to take a cab because i thought the last bus from Southern Cross was 9.30pm and I was already late
My flight is at 12.45am so I must must must reach at least at 10.45pm… When I left home finally packed and ready it was definitely after 9.30pm o.0 and taking two trams and a bus may take very long o.0
I told the taxi driver I had only $50 and he said ok no problem so I went in. hopefully can reach on time!!!!! T.T

The taxi driver is very friendly. His name is Chris. He asked me if I am a student… what course am I studying…. He’s a civil engineer.. he has his own company and would be able to hire me to work… asked me if I know structure… He sometimes draw plans for houses… Asked me if any of my friends finding work, his brother has a farm.. can pick fruits and stuff, $12 per hour…He said work on the farm is for a 6-month period, not only for a few weeks…Asked me to find 50~60 people he can give me commission…

He kept saying he likes Malaysian girls . Then he asked if I drink and do I have a boyfriend… Asked me to call him if I do look for a boyfriend…
and kept asking me for my number. He said he’s 24 years old. Or just be friends and then can go on later.

o.0 I’m so exhausted and worried about my flight (plus a thousand other things like my studio submission and presentation and how bad i feel causing trouble to so many people and how much money it cost to book another flight) and this guy’s forcing so many akward questions on me. I didn’t take his number or give him mine. But he’s still nice enough to charge me only $47.50 instead of $51 something ~.~ BYE BYE hope I never see you again o_O

Scary la…

can’t wait for love & happiness to return to my life. where did they go? o.0

That’s a low-carbohydrate food pyramid recommended by nutrition experts (no i shall not cite or quote sesiapapun) which i’ve been following the entire time while in melbourne (in malaysia my food’s basically determined by what my kakak cooks every day) but i end up eating…

just this year i started going to the gym more regularly (albeit stopping for over a month recently) and eating out less..  lesser friends around to pot-luck or yum-cha with

After tonight’s gym I weighed myself.. 48kg!!!! **~* \(^o^)/*~**

To those taller than me yet weigh less, shaddup. I am still trying very hard ok.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

I love my Design Approaches and Methods subject tutored by Taras Wolf (if you take this subject you must pray to God you get him as your tutor coz some other tutors suck) because all his sessions are really fun and meaningful and push my enthusiasm for drawing more and more pretty things. Hey I can draw anything to make it look pretty, I don’t mean drawing butterflies and cockroaches here ;(  Recently he told us to design our lives. Think about what kind of life you want. Interview your younger self (like when you were 13 years old) and see what has changed. Do you realise how your lifestyle and ambitions have changed over time, have you lost or gain some qualities in you? How can that inspire you further? …

My god, I was a total nerd in school lah… No need to ask also can see right… Now still very nerdy also… haih… Dunno how to enjoy life properly / . \

But in school I had no problem finishing my homework at least :’( Now it’s a problem that’s growing worse and worse, why ah… T.T

Tonight my friends went to watch X-Men Wolverine in cinema. Then maybe sing karaoke. So nice x_x  But I have alot of work to do and I have no idea what X-men is about, sorry I’m so “out”. So I came home and watched tv instead o_O I need to go START WORK T.T

(*~*) rest…

(*o*) hungry…

(*_*) bored…
