The beginning.

Helloooooo.

I actually don’t know why I’m still blogging here. Might as well just shut the site down hahah. Butttt, I’m bored. SO freaking glad its the weekend. This semester kinda sucks.. I have classes everyday. But its not THAT bad cause on some days it’s only one lecture/tute a day. I haven’t started on any assignments yet.. due date is not so soon but I’ve really got to start soon! And I will during the Easter break! I feel like everyday just passes by like nothing. What really annoys me is having to do the tute works every week. I’m quite happy though, I’ve been a reasonably good student so far. SO FAR. Sigh. I hope this lasts.

So what’s new is that I’ve finally found an apartment to rent in the city! And I’m moving on Monday, yayyyy. Can’t wait. Only regret is that I think my agent is kinda bitchy. Sometimes the Asians here are so .. cocky. Instead, the Australians are much nicer. But whatever.

I met up with Jean today in the city 😀 It’s so weird, I’ve never actually gone out with her the whole time I was in Brunei, but we only meet up when we’re both here. Sad mannn. Speaking of home, I don’t really miss it that much anymore. Maybe just the food and easy transportation but that’s about it. Not like the time I was superrrrrr homesick the second semester I was here.. that was bad cause I seriously cried (like bawled my eyes out) every single day! Urghh never wanna go through that again. There’s just something about this place that made me look forward to coming back this time.

So it’s the end of March, but it’s still so hot around here! When will it start getting cold again? (I know I’m so going to regret saying this when it does start getting cold haha). The heat is too hot and the cold is so cold.

Tell me you’ll stay.

Sunday night… I’m supposed to be rushing assignments! But I’m not 😀 I finished my assignment. Damn songggggg. But so annoying la, last two weeks also got assignment due! Should be revision time lah (although I haven’t started studying omgomg). 17 days til exams omg 😐 wtf. so fast! Okok, better start studying next week man! SERIOUS!!

Anyway, I sound very energetic today because I am alllll better now! Omg, I felt like I really wanted to collapse and go hospital and not worry about anything. Those few days were just.. bad. Thank goodness I had Bun and Freddy over on one of those nights.  And then Wednesday night was the worst. I literally felt like I was on fire. Somemore I went to the doctor on Tuesday, but then they only gave me an appointment on Thursday.. dumb or not?! But anyway, that’s all over now.

So yeah, that taught me one thing. It’s seriously not fun to be sick when you’re away from home! You miss everything at home so much more 😦 All the chinese herbal soups and medicines, mum’s home-cooked food.. wahlao!!

So I have this very weird friend.

carriemon says: (12:40:53 AM)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

HAHAHAHHAHAHA. So fucking weird leh this girl. I dont know why she’s like that lah. Sien. Nothing to blog about also. I have to wake up early tomorrow to hand in my assignment, urghhhhh. At least now I know that the place doesn’t open until after 8AM! Last week I went to hand my assignment in, thought I could get there early and go back early and sleep more, but nooooooo I waited there for a good half an hour before it opened. So lazy these people.. 8AM already still not in their offices.

Ok I’m gonna go and watch some show now.

It’s the climb.

Sorry for the lack of blogs. I think it was most probably due to the assignments, I cant really remember now cause it’s been a while. But yeah, I’ve also been really sick recently. Still am, but much much better now. Being sick sucks when you’re overseas. Not cool man. Now I really want those herbal chinese medicines and noodle soups. But anyways, gotta go cook my own dinner (I know, sucks right!!) 😦 seeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaa.

You make my day.

Hellooo! I’m only here for a short update since I said I’d blog soon in my last post… it’s not really ‘soon’ but yeah.

Eating dinner now! After class yesterday, I decided to go to Coles to buy some groceries. Didn’t buy much stuff, cos I can’t carry that much stuff. So damn annoying man, cannot buy a lot of stuff in one go. Randomly decided to cook porridge that  night. Shut up @xy__, I love porridge! Hahahahaa. Anyways I was like checking the recipe online and stuff, then I called my mum to ask her how she cooked. Aww I miss my mum 😦

Ok anyways yeah I cooked porridge! Not the plain white ones k, the one with flavour and chicken shreds. Quite easy la, but I think I put a little too much rice and too little water, so everytime I wanna eat I have to like add hot water to it and stuff. But anyways very proud! 😀 Yeahyeah ok porridge easy stuff lahhhh so noob -.-

Anyways, later that night, I found out something called online grocery shopping. It is only the most awesome thing ever. Ok maybe I’m like a bit slow but yeah still super happy! So you go to the website (e.g. http://www.colesonline.com.au) and then you register and everything, then you can start buying! It’s so fun and fills up your time! Then you can save your cart and logout and stuff. Then you have to pick delivery times, so they can deliver it right to your doorstep. No more carrying heavy groceries up the friggin two flights of stairs, no more having to catch the stupid buses to buy stuff! A burden has been lifted off my shoulders. So thankful for this smart and convenient idea. Delivery fee is like $9 (depends on the area you live in and the times), but I don’t care! So worth it.

Omg, this is so not a short update. Anyways, gotta go finish up dinner and revise for my Stats quiz tomorrow. City tomorrow after class 😀

Before the storm.

Whats up people?

Just got up a few hours ago. I was super tired from last night. Headed to the city yesterday at around 12pm, to meet up with Carrie and Dina. Carrie and I were supposed to meet up in Caulfield, so I msged her a few stops before Caulfield then she started walking to the train. Then I realised we were reaching really soon, so I asked where she was. She was like running and panting to get to the train but couldn’t HAHAHA omg what a noob. So I got off and we took the next train together. Met up with Dina at Shark Fin House for dimsum. OMG the bowlay man so scary! HAHAHAHAH. Wtf man. The 3 of us were so terrified of him HAHAHAHA. Omg, too lazy to explain here la. Let’s just say, he didn’t understand what I said, so he started shouting at us.

Dimsum was alright. After that, we went to Collins St because Carrie wanted to check out LV and Chanel. HAHAHAH I know, wtf right, Carrie?! But it’s cool. Carrie brought us to Curtin House after that, to check out some clothes store. She kept saying it was a really dodgy-looking place, then when we reached she told us to be careful of the steps. The second after she said that, she tripped over the stairs. HAHAHAHAHA what a noob!

After Curtin House, we went to the Hype DC in QV. Bought a pair of Converses! I love it! Been looking for something like this for a few months now. I was deciding between the leather or the canvas. The leather looks really nice from the shelf, but when I wore it I thought it looked a bit weird on me.

I dno if it looks different here, but its a sleeker version of the usual. Love it!

And that was my only purchase of the day. Its ok, I’m satisfied 🙂 Carrie bought the same one, but in leather white. After that, met up with Betty, Jasmine and their friend for drinks. The Max Brenner at QV was really full, so we went to the one at Melbourne Central. Our waitor looked like Pan Wei Bo according to Carrie. So the whole afternoon we just called him Pan Wei Bo. We sat there for 3 – 4 hours, just talking about stuff. Mostly it was just updating each other (ok more like Betty updating us haha) and reminiscing the younger ISB days. You know.. the Year 8 to Year 11 times. Omg, so many things happened during that period of time that we forgot. But yeah, it was so much fun! Mostly we were just laughing at the stupid things we’d done. Awesome catchup session lar.. can’t wait for the next one!

After that, the three of them had to leave, so it was me, Carrie and Dina again. We randomly decided to go and take neoprints at this photo store. Our photos so fucked up hahahah. Then we had dinner at Desert House. I tried their baked rice, and it was surprisingly good! They had portugese sauce too. Reminds me of the Cheezbox one. Dina had to go home after dinner, then I also decided to go home with Carrie. Too lazy to see Freddy hahah. Plus it was late, and I didn’t feel like taking the train alone. Took the cab back when I reached Clayton station since it was already past midnight, so no buses. Fuckkkk.. I want a car here!

Pictures!

At the traffic light in Collins St.

Hahah omg, this is so fucked up. We were supposed to be inside the diamond (like Dina) but we didn't know. So noob.

Standing on a tightrope.

Magic carpet!

Hahaha bowlay?!

Ok I dno what this was.

Hahahah. We were so noob at this cause the thing was so fast we didn’t have enough time to pose. I bought some super cute bedsheets on Friday at Chaddy when I was with Carrie.

I love polka dots! Cute or what?

Polka dots again, but this is the quilt cover set.

Ok fine I think this is for kids cause it was in the section where they had all the children’s bedsheets and quilt covers and stuff. But who cares? So cute! Plus they had king single size so why not? Also cos its cheaper than the ones I bought when I first came. Soooooo chio, as Xiaxue would say. Gonna change my bedsheets soon!

Also need to do my laundry… hmm. Should I do it tonight or tomorrow? Anyway, I’m glad that I have no classes for the whole week! But so sien, still need to do assignments. Research for Macro, essay on Marketing and prepare for Stats quiz. WHY?!

I miss Bruneiiiiiiiiiiiii! I know I always say this but yeah hahaha. It was cool how your friends were only like 10 minutes away. You could usually meet up with them within half an hour after a phone call. But here, it’s like so much harder because of the stupid public transport. You can’t just meet up anytime and anywhere you want anymore. You used to be able to just drive anywhere. Now you have to take the bus or the tram, then the train, then you still have to walk. Nabeh. Talking about this just makes me so annoyed already hahah. So yeah, can’t wait to go back. Still haven’t decided when to go back cos I’m waiting for Carrie to confirm.

Right, I gotta go do my laundry (maybe). Blog soon.

Foolish games.

Helloo!

I was looking at my posts earlier and I have so many drafts in there cause everytime I feel like blogging, I always stop halfway because I suddenly don’t feel like blogging, or because I have to leave. Distractions. Anyway, I’ll try my very best to actually finish this blog and post it up hahaha. So yeah, this is my last week of classes before the mid-sem break! So it’s been like a month since I last blogged, crazyyyy! Doesn’t even feel that long to me. Yeah so it’s almost 2AM now and I have class tomorrow but I can’t sleep, cause I just woke up a few hours ago hahaha. This has been happening the whole damn week! Come back from classes, watch movies for a while, then sleep and wake up for dinner and shower and then watch another movie. Ends up in me sleeping at like 3-4AM and only having 4-5 hours of sleep everynight. I’m enjoying life! 😀

Can’t wait for tomorrow cause after class we are gonna go straight to the city to shop! Not really la.. I just need to get a nice new coat cause the weather’s getting colder everyday. I hate the cold. I need a bag as well but I’m seriously wondering if I should get one cause I spent aloootttttt this month 😦 Anyway, Carrie bitch is supposed to come along too but she has to do her assignment or something.

Hahahah omg, I went to my Stats lecture this afternoon, and I thought everyone was inside the lecture hall already cause no one was outside. Turns out there were only 3 other people in the whole lecture when I walked in. Hahahaha I was like omg, felt so bad for the lecturer. Some people started coming in but in the end we only had less than 20 people there.

So sien! Anyways, I’ll have more interesting things to blog about this weekend. Ciao!

Life in Brunei

Anyways good luck to all.. Byebye!!

Against all odds.

I’ve been meaning to blog for a few days now, but I just kept getting distracted. It’s been over a week since I left Brunei, I never realised it was that fast. I’ve been super homesick ever since, even when I was just on the plane to Singapore I felt like I was already gonna cry. I really miss my mum and my friends and just being back home, so the first few days were really tough for me. Right now I’m staying at Freddy’s for a while, at least here I’m not alone and I’ve got people to talk to and stuff. Being here has made me feel so much better. Anyways, I have school to attend so I don’t think so much about it anymore. I can’t wait til it’s the last few weeks of classes and then its exams, and then I can go back home! This time I definitely have to cherish time back home more, though I don’t think that will be a problem because I will be back for long while.

Anyway, I’ve been coughing like a bitch recently. It’s really annoying. And just last night, I caught the flu. I was like panicking inside, so scary! Supposed to go to class at 8.30am this morning, but screw that. I felt so uncomfortable when I woke up. I went to the campus health centre at about 3pm, and then I had to wear these masks and wait in a room for the doctor to get me. The doctor told me it’s just the seasonal flu and that I have nothing to worry about and just take a good rest. She also gave me an MC for today and tomorrow, so no classes for me tomorrow 😀 Wah I’m so bored now man. It’s like so late now. I think I better get to bed really soon.

It’s been really cold lately, especially today! Omg. I didn’t use the bus at all today. I called the cab instead hahaha. I sound so spoiled but it was super cold k, plus I was sick again so I really couldnt stand walking to the bus stop and waiting in the cold for the stupid bus. I dropped by Glen to meet Kim after going to the doctor cause I needed to copy the keys so it’d be much easier for me to go out and come back. While I was there, I went shopping again. Omg I really cannot NOT shop when there are shops all around me. But it’s okay la I bought cheap things only, and I didn’t stay for long cos I felt like going home to rest. According to the weather forecast, it’s gonna be windy with showers again tomorrow, just like today. Sien la, why can’t it be sunny?

I still wish I was in Brunei, enjoying the heat and the cheap food and the comfort of my own home. Being in Brunei seriously spoils you cause it’s just so relaxed there, and now I dont feel like attending classes. I want to eat sushi, dimsum, homefood, and more. Sadly I never got to eat enough of those things when I was back. Sigh, I just miss everything about Brunei la. What I won’t miss is Cheezbox, though. That place really sucks now man. Ok it wasn’t that good in the first place anyway, its only cos it’s like right next to the mall. Hahaha I sound so bitter. I had a bad experience k, I’m still so pissed with them. My order took 45 minutes cos they said it wasn’t keyed in the computer. I even double-checked with the waitor ok. Then halfway eating, I found hair in my food and told one of the waitors. Guess what he did? He told another waitor to come, so I had to repeat it to him. And what did this second waitor do? He called the manager over so I had to repeat it AGAIN. So in the end the 3 of them crowded around our table just so I could tell them there was hair in my food. :@ I didn’t have to pay for my food, but still, it so wasn’t worth it ok. Plus the food sucked.

Ok, I’m really tired now. Goodnight.

Back.

Hey guys, I’m back in Melbourne. Right now I’m just hating it. It’s cold here and my housemate just left this morning so I’m feeling super lonely. My flight back was pretty rushed. I had to run and walk fast to the next terminal to catch the connecting flight straight after I landed. Another good thing was that there wasn’t anyone sitting next to me in both flights. The flight to Melbourne had a lot of turbulence, as usual, but I slept for most of the flight. Surprisingly I was only in the airport for less than half an hour. Took a cab back to Rusden, and saw Hayes sleeping on the couch when I entered, which almost scared me to death hahahha. He slept over so he could send Michelle to the airport. Initially planned to go for class this morning, but it was at 8.30am so thats definitely a no. Spent some time trying to work out how to change my timetable, it’s really killing me.

I just woke up again from my second nap today. Just layed down on the bed waiting for Fred’s reply and dozed off. Time is passing by so slowly now, especially when I have absolutely nothing to do. When I was in Brunei, everything just zoomed by so fast. I also never really spent time with my mum/family 😦 sighhh. But yeah, its only 13 weeks of school + exams and it will just fly by like nothing so I guess I’ll be pretty busy and then I’ll be home soon! 🙂

School tomorrow, booooo. Anyways, I’m gonna finish up Moonlight Resonance now 😀

I seriously envy you guys who are in Brunei right now 😦

Just live your life.

Exams are over and done with! 😀 I can’t believe this all went by so fast. It’s a good thing lah, it’s just that the last few days went by crazily fast. And I’m going back in a few daysssss hahah omg I can’t wait. Ok first of all, thank you guys for the wishes and stuff 🙂 My birthday this year was spent very differently than all the previous ones, I spent it studying in the Matheson library with Bun and Freddy! Hahahha. Exams started the very next day for me so yeah I really had to. The weekend before my birthday, we stayed over at the city again and went to the Swinburne library and the state library to study. I actually met some of my classmates at the state library. The state library was really nice though, I love the building and stuff. It was actually quite productive for me since the pressure was on and I didn’t have much time. Also went to watch Night at the Museum 2 and Angels and Demons during the weekends. Night at the Museum 2 was okay only la, didnt watch the first one so I cant really compare. Angels and Demons was good! Damn, I wanna watch it again. We went back to Clayton on Tuesday, then headed to the Matheson with Bun and Freddy.. then Freddy couldn’t concentrate so we went back to Rusden to Bun‘s place to study. Had Nandos for dinner, then Bun made mashed and she and her housemates and Fred put a candle on top of it and sang happy birthday to me hahhaha. Nice.

After studying for another few hours I decided to go back up to my place so I could concentrate more. These few days have been so tiring, I’ve staying up til like 5 – 6am to study, crazy man. I don’t think I’ve ever done that in my studying life, so I guess it can be a good thing. My first exam was at the Caulfield Racecourse, so mafan lah I didn’t even know where it was. My initial plan was to take the shuttle bus from Clayton to Caulfield campus, or take the train or something. But (and I know most of you will not be surprised when I say this) I didn’t really plan things properly and if I took the bus I would be late for my exam at 2.30pm. So I took the cab. Hahahha. It costed me 20 bucks! I guess that was my fault, but the important thing is that it got me there on time. My first exam was Microeconomics, and I was actually kinda worried about it before but it was alright, not too bad except for some questions on long-run and short-run that I didn’t understand. After my exam, I went to meet WJ and Fred at the Caulfield library and surprisingly, Shigs was there. I was supposed to revise Marketing then, but we went for dinner with Shigs and then left for home. Had dinner at Uzu, the tempura don was not bad although I think they should’ve put more prawns. 

Marketing exam the next day. It was quite okay actually. The 2 hours was like pressure man, I finished the exam 5 minutes before the end time. Same goes with Management, goddammit. When I got to the essay question in Management, my hands were so weak already man wth. I had to write slower so my handwriting didn’t look like shit. After I got back from my Management exam, I slept for about two hours, then woke up to eat with Fred (haha so kesian, he had to wait for me to wake up then eat cos I was so tired) and then a while after eating, I slept for two hours again! Wth man. So I started revising Accounting at 9pm. Accounting was the hardest to revise man. I finished writing all my notes and revising at 6am, wahlao eh. I wanted to give up and go to sleep at about 4 – 5am, but I couldn’t! I didn’t want my last exam to be crappy just cause it was my last exam. Luckily though, the exam was at 2.30pm so I didn’t have to wake up so early in the morning. I woke up at 11am, showered then revised again. I went to campus about an hour earlier cause I still had to find the Engineering building. I feel so useless la, I don’t even know my campus! Hahahaha. Finally found the building, and sat down looking through my notes one last time before heading to the exam hall. I gotta say that exam was the hardest among all my exams, because of the worksheet which I couldn’t balance at all! So damn annoying! The rest of the paper was fine though. When we got out of the exam hall, it was like so dark already, so scary. That’s what I hate about the coming winter. It was only 6pm, but it felt like 8 or 9pm. It was sooo cold today. 

I went back to Fred‘s place after that, had dinner for a while and then slept. I just woke up. Guess I won’t be sleeping early tonight. I’ve got quite a lot of things to do before going back. Pay my rent (and possibly ask for a 50% discount on my rent since I won’t be here for most of the month), buy things for back home, collect my brother’s watch, meet up with Carrie for lunch + shopping on Monday, wash my clothes, and pack! God knows how long I will take to pack. Anyways, so sorry for the lack of pictures.. AGAIN. I promise you though, I’ll have pictures once I get to Brunei. 

I’m craving for Boost juice now. 😦
