This holiday is coming to an end very soon! My main reasons for coming back has been fulfilled- meeting up with friends who are leaving for other continents of the world in september/august and spending time in my parents' shop. Of course there are the usual reasons- enjoying HOME and PENANG
my nephew kept asking me "when are you coming again to my house?" haihs, i'm just controlling myself not to cry...really?! there isn't a valid reason for me to cry right? i will still come back in December. It's just he is my favourite among all my nieces and nephews. Just gotta convince myself that there can never be holidays all year round.
Everytime i come back home, i will have the thinking that maybe i should just come back to work after i graduate cos' malaysia is full of good food and i will have the comfort of home. But on another note, i feel i should at least work a few years in aussie(if i can find one) to get back the money, earn some reputable working experiences then only decide what's next.
Malaysia, Penang, to be exact, is still very much my home. I haven't develop much love for australia, i still can't really accept their drinking and party behaviour, hmmm, i have like less than 5 angmohs friends, hahha! speaking of that, i was told that one of my new neighbour is an angmoh, hope she's nice!(as in no party in kitchen with loud music) i always have international neighbours unlike my friend who got all singaporeans neighbours. should i look at it as a good or bad thing? hmm...
Semester results were up to my expectation, hope i can still maintain my self-discipline for the upcoming semester. Going back in 5 days time, ergh, back to cooking and handwashing, and STUDY!

my 20th birthday
I've come to realise that so long as I'm not in Malaysia, i won't be able to celebrate my birthday with my family and high school friends. the last birthday i spent with my family and 'lao peng yous' was 2 years back when I was in HSC, it's as though i knew i wont be celebrating my birthday with them for a long time after that, so i requested for a birthday celebration at home..
My 19th birthday surprise was planned by my beloved sis with a bunch of IH people celebrating it for me, some whom i don't really talk much at all already, hahaahha! but there are a few whom i grew much closer to.
This year, everyone was sort of like separated since we're not staying in IH anymore, i thought "hmm, i shouldn't be expecting anything special whatsoever" but another side of me was like "hmm, maybe they will have a surprise for me?" Lucky me, my second thought came true. Erm, I did have a random guess like how the surprise was gonna turn out to be etc.. but Jane was really clever in covering it up.
*fast forward*(happened 2 days before my birthday) 2 days be When i followed Jane to her kitchen to take my food, suddenly i heard "SURPRISE!!" i practically shouted and was surprised!! LOLOL!! They baked choc chip cookies and made a colourful card for me =) Most importantly, I got to blow birthday candles and make birthday wishes. To me, that's two most important thing that a person should get for his/her birthday. no need big celebration/surprise(though it'll be an added bonus), just let me blow my candles and make my birthday wishes, i'll be satisfied.
Later that night, we went for dinner at Madtongsan 2 for korean cuisine. i celebrated my birthday at madtongsan 1 last year, hahaha! I enjoyed the dinner with all the gossips and laughters. Other people were looking at our table cos we talked and laughed so loudly!
On my birthday itself, i did not do much since i already had an early celebration. received a call from Janice at 2am in the morning, i was already ZZzzzz like a pig d. Just replying to the FB wishes one by one. got wishes from people i don't really talked too, oh well, they're FB friends..hahahaha! Jane bought me my fav Japanese cupcakes, that came unexpected as well .
End of birthday video calling with my parents! =)
Now I have a big number 2 in front of my age already, no longer a teen! but still is one at heart..
p.s. thank you to Mone, Janice, Angelin and Kp for the birthday sms-es all the way from Malaysia!!

no internet connection
After moving out from IH college on nov 24th, I've been staying at my sister's apartment( just the next building) till now. no cable or internet connection so i can only online for a limited time using my che's laptop..
I've been eating alot of home cooked food which means I've been cooking, washing the pots and plates, and do grocery shopping ALOT! of course i do all of these together with my sis =) cooking is fun, grocery shopping too but not the washing up part..hahahaha, but this i-don't-really-fancy chore comes along with the fun cooking, so i don't have much choice. i took quite alot of pictures of all the dishes we made, will blog about it when i get back. I've also compiled some food pictures but I'm no longer keen to blog about them for now.
2010 is coming to an end soon..time really flies this semester as compared to the first semester. Got back my semester results and I'm satisfied. hard work paid off! think i put in more effort this sem than the previous semester. wonders whether can i regain this kind of self-discipline again next year after having a long summer break..hmmm, okay that's kiasu-ism..hahahahha! i will get to celebrate CNY next year, woohoooo! remember this year, i came to Aussie on the night of the first day of CNY, damn sad case de. next year i will be in msia till CNY ends!
most of my friends are now back in their home countries for about 2 weeks already..so my only friend now is my che che, hahahha!
daddy and mummy will be coming over for che's graduation this Thursday! then they will go back msia with me on Sunday night =( but I'm looking forward to all the good food and meeting up with my beloved friends!!
That's all for now! *continues watching Wongfu on YouTube and checking out baking recipes*

one more to go!
hello! just a quick update of my life in brisbane..final exams season right now. 3 down, one more to go.
last week, during the study week, was a bit of an emo week for me cos' i was down with fever, flu, terrible sore throat and cough. went to the health service but wasn't prescribed any medicine, cos to them, we mustn't take antibiotics unnecessarily. so yeah, i listened to their advice and suffered that painful throat for five days (i was hoping it would get better every morning i wake up but it never did) so took the antibiotics i brought from malaysia, after 2 pills, my throat got better. gosh, should have taken it much early instead of swallowing those painkillers ( a total of more than 16! ) been coughing till my ribs hurt a few days ago but it's definitely going away soon.
luckily, i have my sis here, so i went to her place and cook fish porridge for 3 meals. IH food is totally not suitable for a sick person. i think now i can cook a very decent bowl of fish porridge, probably i would rate it 7/10=) a big thank you to all my friends who were there for me last week, i was super down last week.. and a big love to my mum who have been calling me almost every other day last week.
one more paper to go this coming thursday, 'tools of economic analysis", the tools are all maths (lotza calculus, some fancy words like Lagrange multiplier, bla bla) 5 more days! i'm not hoping for it to come sooner because i'm totally not prepared yet.
just finished my stats paper in the morning. came back lunch and was on youtube the whole afternoon and evening watching wong fu productions! just google this name if you have no idea what i'm talking about. (will blog about them more after im done with my exams, promise)
I'M IN LOVE WITH THEIR WORK! okay, maybe their cute asian faces too =)
I've been writing down a list of stuff i would love to do after exams, that's my motivation to keep me going!!
okay, going to shower and dinner soon and back to study again.. misses everyone back in malaysia!

the one-month long semester break
1st week: nothing much. i was getting all the necessary stuff for my Melbourne trip. went to sis's place every now and then
2nd week: off for a 4-day vacation in melbourne with Genny and Fay. trust me, it's not all fun when you're the one who had to make most of the decisions(okay maybe a lil' exaggerating) on where to go, what to eat, etc..will ramble about this trip soon together with lotza photos when i have my free 10GB internet quota.
3rd week: came back on July 8th from melbourne, flew back to HOME SWEET HOME the next night. the first place me and sis went to was our ahma and ah gong's place, we are very kuai grandchildren.=) tried to take a nap in the evening but ended up crying in my bed. I MISS MY HOME SO MUCH. my bed, my room, my living room, my study table, my toilet, my sofa, my TV, almost everything in my house. daddy and mummy took us out for dinner every night, lunch at ahma's place everyday, these were the ordinary things we did everyday but I LOVE IT! only met up with jan, cw, ange, kp for this hols. shopped with sis in QB for 2 days consecutively so rushed for time as we're buying all the necessary stuff to bring back to Brissie. had a bad diarrhoea cos ate too much stuff that i have not been eating for 6 months. surprisingly, i didn't really have much cravings for all my fav food(this is so not me). i did not miss out on Astro. i was able to watch one whole series of Astro on demand in a week's time(by watching the beginning, not all the episodes in between, and the conclusion) the feeling of being HOME was just overwhelming. on sunday July 18th, flew back to Brissie =(. I'm glad i came home.
4th week: arrived brissie on monday morning. i was down with sore throat so i ate at sis's place. got to eat porridge =D during dinner, she cooked pork mee suah and again, out of nowhere, i was crying while eating. see la, this emo girl. jie was asking me " the mee suah tasted so bad is it?" LOL. i was touched that she took care of me when i'm sick,then luan luan think again, blah blah blah.. went out with my ex Hsc friends, wen zhen and wayne yi on wednesday for the first time, while my 3other IH buddies went to gold coast. i couldn't have the best of both worlds so i had to choose one. ate at jie's place for 3 days. on thurs, she flew to melbourne for her hospital placement =( no home cook food for a month. gg. my emotions are quite stable for now, hopefully it will stay this way for a duration of time=) been going out with my IH people.
Highlight of the entire sem break: the 10 days in PENANG, spending time with my loved ones and being a couch potato watching astro =D
