last week
hahaha it's sooo fun to have so many people graduating at the same time. this means that we all can bum together and be silly, stupid... =) right now kee, wani, ryan, grace, lai, bryan, winson, danny, ally, christie are downstiars playing MJ and erm...i-toy?anyway last week flew by so quickly. for the previous weekend (19th-20th), we watched harry potter at kee's place (a kitchen warming) and wani's place. =)
oh oh oh...i made or-ni too! =)
on tuesday, we celebrated susu's birthday advance. sigh i can't lie or act for nuts, well that's according to susu =) we had quite a good time. we had good food, good fun, who could ask for more eh? fooooood glorious foooooooddd... it was a potluck dinner so well the invited lot brought some food.
the cake i baked for susu...erm..wasn't much of a cake - it ended up being more like a cookie

time is passing by too quickly
i'm not too sure why that's happening. i suppose i'm having fun and i reckon everyone who's graduating (on a sidenote: congrats to those who mock-graduated with me yesterday hur hur) is feeling the same way.
i wouldn't say i'm desperately looking forward to goin back to spore, neither do i actively want to stay in australia. you can say i'm very neutral about it. think what i really am feeling right now is the fact that i'll miss the company of friends more than anything else. i'm enjoying myself and i dare say i've enjoyed myself the most this year compared to the rest of the other two years here. i guess i've made many friends this year that i never imagined myself hanging out with. it could be due the circumstances, or God's will, whatever it is, i'm glad it happened.
i'm glad i met my two housemates. well it's been a different experience with them compared to my time spent with alvina last year (i dun really intend to compare and go into the specifics here.) i NEVER expected myself to enjoy myself with the two silly gals from penang and perlis respectively. when charms, oaks and alv left last year i was devastated because they were my closest buddies, but well meeting these two (and of course a couple of others) made my stay in australia more liveable.
i'm glad to have also met *drum roll* my HUMs (namely charms, byron, bryan, jiew and chen hoe)...they were my first few close friends i made. those peeps were the ones who made my transition in melbourne easier. these are the peeps whom i hung out with constantly at bryan's to the wee hours of the morning, well i could reemmber dozinbg off etc hahahha ohhhh who would ever forget WHAT THE hehehe...
too many to mention, kee (one of my longest friend in melbourne i would dare say), oaks, alvina, jon, janz, ter, viv, christie, wani, lai, rongyao, roger, danny........ so many of them have actually left footprints in my heart. i'm grateful...i'm happy, i'm thankful to God for these ppl...
i never even expected myself to have this much fun. it was a good mix of studying (i'm crossing my fingers REAL hard...i need to pass, i need to pass, i need to pass), chilling, talking cock, having fun, clubbing,......
i don't even know why i'm typing out this entry. guess i'm feeling just a wee bit sad that well a chapter of my life's in the end stages of completion. it's quite a daunting yet consoling feeling, i can't really pin-point this certain void or emptiness. that's prob why i'm tryin to make the best out of these few weeks - going out with the lot, watching as much movies with the rest at my place or wani's, hell even spending too much and burning a hole in my pocket because of eating out etc.
sigh...
oh well guess all good things/times have to come to an end. i'm quite hesitant of my future, full knowing i'm not equipped at all for ANYTHING (because of my shitty arts degree) yet at the same time i'm lookin forward to what's in stall of me. everything's just so tentative at the moment (tat's how life is i suppose)
what i know for now is that i'll be going back to singapore for now to attempt to look for a job. additionally, i'll be bringing back memories, experiences that i've accumulated over here,and more importantly, the friendships that have been bestowed upon me. =)
hmm time to go shower. i've a date with keith, lai, christie, rongyao (did i miss out anyone else?) at chaddy AND a super impromptu BBQ at keith's place today. whee!

just spending time with the gals
i dedicated almost the whole week with my housemates, because well i know we won't be able to do that once i go back to spore. so let's see...
post clubbing yum cha with trs, kee, viv, bryan and the gals at sharks fin house. food wasn't too bad, but service was horrible. bleah! (side note..the first time i puked the day after drinking. man tat was a experience i never want to go through again. anyhow the food made me feel better)
the usual boliao shot =ppp hahahah we didn't do much on sunday i tink. we cleaned the house though...anyway on monday the three of us decided to go to boxhill for lunch and grocery shopping. =)) i like this shot. we found this HUGE xmas tree in one of the shopping centres and found a ball that we liked. (man tat sounded so wronggg hur hur hur)
she seems to be enjoying herself =ppp
ahhh movie day at the glen with the housemates, kee, christie and her bf.... after lunch at rock kung, we watched two movies consecutively and then we ended up at my place. we watched another two movies. (for me i rewatched butterfly effect and love me if you dare). anyway here's a elongated version of us three. =ppp we looked quite happy to appear less....erm...pudgy
our last lunch with viv at wah kee.
this time, there wasn't much malay talk in the car... hur hur...BRUUUudDDDDEERRRR
stupid viv...grrr
on thursday i pretty much bummed for the whole day. i baked though (then again, i have been baking for the whole week.) this time round, i made egg tarts.
wani, susu, kee and i found ourselves at caufield for an exhibition. interesting interpretations of how transportation systems would be like in 2030. some of the suggestions were pretty far-fetched but i suppose the students were supposed to use their imagination and respective interpretations,,,,,,so yeah...
we had dinner at winson's place (thanks dude) before..................
heading to kmart with susu, kee, lai and rongyao....doesn't kee look soooo adorable here???
after a late night (of kmart-ing , and watching ANOTHER movie), i woke up to meet bryan for brunch and grocery shopping before heading back home for a FEASTTTTT. check out the food!!!
wellll..for more photos for the week, lick here (heh)

my last weekend as a student Anyway my first paper was reasonable but my second paper, my LAST ppr as an undergraduate got me really......depressed. i even messaged and call kenneth. i almost choked. oh well....i just have to wait till my results come out i suppose. mannnn.. we're goin clubbing again..this time...i shall try to NOT drink too much =) okok..time to sleep..for more photos..click here (just a note to all worried friends...i tried smoking only ONE ciggie..and i dun tink i'll touch another one for a very LOOOOng time...) ok..time to turn in! whee
nothing much has been happening during the exam period. hahhahaa...wellllll....other than having to deal with the occasional chunks of dust literally flying around in my room and the unbearable mess in my room...guess i've been pretty hardworking (HA! that's wat i like to tink).
this was taken just before i went into the exam hall. my last exam. wow..how time flies...
diana and i outside the hall. we were supposed to look sad and even scared. we kinda look....stoned. all work and no play makes us sad gals...
we joked about sitting next to each other so that we could copy each others' answer. lo and behold! our seating arrangement really coincided!!! we were fools, excited and taking photos in the examination hall itself!
ahhh dinner before clubbing with a couple of peeps. 
probably one of the few shots we can actually take together. stupid MK...grrr...hahahaha
i have to mention clubbing on friday itself was good. i really enjoyed myself.....i didn't enjoy the aftermath of it but hey..i dun really care. i had a good time and tat's all tat mattered !
my second drink for the night =) thanks MK!!!!
i got scolded by bryan for saying tat...hahahahaha...oops...but well we HAD to yum seng and make ourselves look stupid, many prob reacted by saying "typical asians"
hahahaha...possibly my 4th drink?? i can't remember...
on the dancefloor. =)
i went back to the gang to ask more ppl to dance. i ended up drinking some more....
hehehehehe....... doesn't lai look like some cheerleader doin the YMCa??
i HAD to take another shot with ms lai, the cheerleader!
we started playing games...well i kinda joined the group...i "died" so much and had to suffer the consequences...bryan had to end up drinking quite a bit for me. hahahaha..... wat was that game again???
okkkkkkkkkk i dun remember even taking this photo! oopss...hahahha well at least i didn't end up like roger. heeeee... =) i remember puking in the toilet and in the taxi (into a plastic bag of course! hehehe) ...and as embarrassing as it may sound, i was playing with my puke, much to cheng's disgust...oops...
roger picked up someone...or well..something. he really got acquainted with her =)
and MK decided to join in the fun! hahaha

Hi Well, we always think that it's parental obligation to provide their children the best of everything.Providing for a good education, at least a tertiary education (ie the basic) is still the best as compared to other materialism.
Do let us know what's yr plan after graduation. If you are thinking of furthering yr education, whether staying put or in Singapore, do feel free to discuss.
Rgds mum

everybody say AWWWW.... i have to admit that they're pretty cool, old-fashioned but cool (i mean that's the only 'cool' word i could think of hahaha).
mother's reply sounds very text-book answer though (kinda like how i would usually talk) but heyy i guess they're first time parents to me so yeah.... HAhHAHAHAHA...mannn and dad's one-phrase reply is so...him, sometimes just like me too =))). it really makes me feel well fortunate. seriously anyone who is able to go overseas to study, wait...in fact ANYONE who is able to even study on tertiary level or even higher is damn lucky. there's no fight about that.
anyway i have decided to work. like how they are obligated to educate their daughter, i'm now obligated to earn and return back wat i owe them now. =ppp that's how life is eh?
hmmm now work beckons....again...

smoke gets in your eyes
mann that song...i love it!!! (i love the desperation and heartbreaking anguish in the song. PLUS it's an oldie.... )=ppp i was just trying to decifer how i'm feeling now and this song aptly came into mind. this is how people who suffer from hay fever feel - when smoke gets in your eyes. man that had to sound so cheesy.
i should tell mum that since she keeps insisting that i'm wearing my contacts too often (HA! i'm like studying at home everyday lah. why would i be wearing my contacts, and making my eyes unecessarily tired? heheh) anyway i'll ask dad to sing, not wait, croak that to her. =) ahhh that sounds like a plan.
okok...plan 2- i shall try to wash my eyes, bathe and get some rest. i can't be bothered studying today. i feel drained.

hay fever...
shucks...of all times i've to get it now. =ppp i feel like sleepin some more because my eyes feel like *toot* bahhh... i need to studyyy.i haven't touched my notes for a day.argh!man all i do is complain about being a student. when i finish my exams i complain about having nothing to do. well actually i don't complain about that. however after a while i start getting restless. i really think i'm wierd. hahahhahaha
anyway i'll try to get some work done. if not i'll just screw it and study tomorrow. i hope i feel better later.
random note to self: DUN PUT SO MUCH SOYA SAUCE IN THE BA CHOR MEE next time. i prob reduced the lifespans of everyone's kidneys because they had to subject themselves to eat the crap that i cooked today out of obligation. so so soooo sorry!!!
one more note to self: no more reading blogs and msn-ing till the end of the exams.
4 more days to go renee! you can do it!!!!
