Day 85

Wahaha! we found a secret wonderland today. Another more interesting playground near the church. I wonder why we didn't notice it earlier. oh wells.. Had lotsa fun on the balancing swing. and they have swings there too! 2 of them somemore. the other one only had 1 adult swing and a baby one, of which we can't sit cos' our butts are too big and we can't squeeze into that baby-sized hole. Oh great! Now this playground will be our haven=)

Where's my prince charming? haha..

i feel so kiddish wearing that outfit. Hey ma.. this was what i bought. Ahaha.. so japanese right? What a big contrast to this picture below.. I didn't buy this though. Amanda said she preferred me with the japanese clothing. Beats me.. Ask her why? I guess cos' this dress makes me look old. But i can't tie up my hair when i wear the japanese clothing! I'll look like an auntie. LOL.. can't risk that =p

We had quite a heavy breakfast so we decided to have just a drink plus a cake from McCafe. And it HAS to be CHEESECAKE. Yea.. Choc Gold Cheesecake. Bought ice chocolate and mocha too.. We do know how to pamper ourselves ok? haha..But if we were back home, our mum would be totally against it. Hehe.. just kidding. i just pity my dad. He can't enjoy coffee and cheesecake with her. Wahaha.. i'm glad i have my sister to share it with =p Seriously, just this alone can make us soooo full. i don't why and how.

Ooo.. it's children's day tmr. Too bad i'm nt a kid anymore. LOL.. but i'm still one at heart;) it's the Queen's bdae in australia on the 1st Oct. A public holiday! Sadly, my school is not affected by it. Universities are not affected. BOOOOO... No difference for me anyways. i've no school on monday! Lucky me!

i realised a lot of things are happening to me after i've gone to australia. Not only do i get to experience more things and meet new pple, but i'm talking to people over msn and email whom i've not conversed with in a very long time or hardly speak to them. Looks like going to australia isn't all that bad after all. But i miss home too. Both jordain and i can't wait to go home this end november. he says he wants to go back cos' he wants to buy something he's dying to own all this while and for the food as well. Me? i'm going back fer the people i miss so much! Haha.. He says he doesn't.. -.- haha.. just kidding. he misses everyone too=)

Including me. =P

Day 83

I went to perth city today to catch rush hour 3 with my sister and jason. Jason and i walked around before meeting up with her cos' she had school. Finally bought something i tried looking very hard for the past 2 wks. Oh yeh!

Never put 2 blur people together. NEVER.. haha. i can't even read a map for nuts. i was trying to find the directions to cinema city to buy the tickets. With my SUPERB map-reading skills, i brought the 2 of us further away from our destination. Ahahaha! That's not all.. we made a mistake with the tickets we bought. The 5pm movie became the 3pm one. i felt so guilty for making the woman change the tickets for us. And i think we were supposed to pay more. because the board stated that "Weekdays before 5pm - $9". Otherwise, it's "Concession - $12". We initially paid $9 each because she issued us the 3pm tickets. But i guess she was lazy to charge us more after we switched to the 5pm show. LOL.. Mmm being blur might be a good thing after all=)

Went to lunch after that. Got ourselves a whole piece chicken. To be eaten LIKE THAT - with your fingers. So barbaric la! hahaha.. But the chicken was nicely marinated. It was delicious! Yummy.. heex.

The movie was quite ok. Funny. At one part of the movie, i was laughing so hard that i was tearing. i think it was the "i am you" part. lol.. Damn hilarious. But i've gotta admit and agree with my mum that rush hour 2 was a whole lot better.

After the movie, amanda asked if we wanted to join her friends for dinner. Cos' she wanted to eat with them. But the restaurant was soooo crowded. In the end, she pang seh us and both of us went out to get something else. Gelare.. haha.. Guess what, that's peppermint ice cream in the middle. Not vanilla. Weird.. haha..

His last bus was at 10pm. I called my sis to rush her to meet up with us. i thought maybe it was safer if both of us went home together. But as usual, she can't meet deadlines, except sch-related stuff. She hadn't even gotten her dinner when i called her at 8.30pm. We just decided to go off without her. He won't have any transport home if we carried on waiting and he doesn't know where to get off so i had to accompany him home, if not i would have waited for her at the esplanade busport. Haiz.. i was also desperate to get her to come with us because i didn't know which bus to take back to the busport as the cat buses are not available after 6 plus. But.. she couldn't make it. Forget it lor.. we walked all the way back ourselves using the map. Almost got lost again..

I had to walk home myself after i alighted the bus at my place. It's so eerie to be walking alone in the streets of australia when it's so dark. She had an escort home lor. If she didn't feel guilt-conscious at all for pang-sehing me, i would have been surprised. Did she not think that our relatives had to wait up for her to get home before they can go to slp? And it was past their bedtime.. Haiz.. Sometimes i just don't know what to say.

Day 82

That's my cousin. And sister. Are u jealous guys? he put his hand around us. Wahaha!

Word of advice for anyone who shops with my sister:

If you're easily swayed, never go shopping with her. She can realli spend and she'll influence you to buy it too.. She buys things with the snap of ur finger! it's that fast..

Word of advice for anyone who shops with me:

If you don't like people who takes long to make decisions, don't go shopping with me. I'll go from shop to shop to find out the best deals before buying. I'm kidding! i NEED people to shop with me. Ahaha.. In short, i'm the total opposite of my sister. =p

Haiz.. can u imagine what torture it is to shop with her? Muahahaha.. i'm sry amanda. =X

Day 80

i'm so glad i needn't have to go school yesterday. i watched from my window hails dropping from the sky. FINALLY! haha.. ok.. this isn't something to joke about. It was a very cold day. So is today=( When will this cold weather be gone and stay away? Even my cousin from brisbane says perth's colder than brisbane. This spring is just weird. and freaking cold. We had curry sauce for dinner yesterday. Not shiok one! The wasabi in australia also no punch one.. Not spicy at all..

So many celebrations today i believe. First there's Chel-min's bdae.

Happie Bdae Chel Min!

and then Jenny's bdae.

Happie Bdae Jenny!

and of cos'

Happie Mid-Autumn Festival Everyone!

You guys had your mooncakes already? i know i had mine=) But i only had the traditional type. No such thing as snow mooncake here, or what you call them? Haha.. No lantern-carrying atmosphere.. i miss seeing my little cousins playing with them, laughing and screaming at the slightest thing that amuses them. haha..

Day 78

CLEMENT ARH!!! We MiSSeD ChURCh BeCOS OF U!

My cousin flew from brisbane to perth a few days ago with some friends to meet his other friends in perth. We decided to meet up with each other for church and lunch today. He was supposed to pick us up at 10am for church but he didn't turn up!!! We waited and waited, hoping he'd show up but he didn't. Amanda won the bet - he will never show up . I persisted that he will turn up but i lost=( Now i owe her 50 FAVOURS.. Thanks alot clement..

In the end, we were too late for church and decided to head down to perth city to shop and have lunch. He called later on to meet up with us at Harbourtown. As predicted by amanda, he woke up late cos' he went to drink last night. Actually he said he's been drinking and eating steamboat these few days. So xian mu.. Went to eat at shimizu - a small japanese restaurant. He still looks the same ;) haha! i'm glad he is. Halfway through lunch, some of his friends came along. But they went down to have laksa instead. We chatted about a lot of things. From school to house to family to his girlfriend. Wahaha.. I was surprised he broke up with his girlfriend back in s'pore. They went steady for 3 yrs o.. What a waste.. Now he's eyeing on another gal in brisbane. His university schmate. She's from singapore too =P Woo! haha.. He's fast.. We made him pay for our lunch cos' he showed up late and made us miss church. haha! What are guys for?? Heex..

After we were done, we went shopping. He gave us a good insight. If a guy rarely shops, that means he has almost everything he needs. Haha.. wao.. i didn't think of that. i thought the answer would be he's too lazy to shop! haha.. He has a lot of friends o.. Everywhere we go, he'll meet someone. Some of his friends are still in curtin too! Doing their final semester.. And 2 of them are twins. No wonder.. i thought i found it weird when the same person introduced herself twice. LOL.. Oh! we took a photo together. it's in his friend's phone. will ask my cousin to get the picture from his friend, then send it to us. Will post it up soon yar!

Overall, it was a good day. and a different sunday=) he sent us back home after that cos' he had to meet up with his friend who's going back to melbourne today. We learnt on the way back that he learnt how to drive a motorcycle after he got his car driving license. Went through all the 3 stages. small bike to large bike. Cool! The thing is he bought his very own motorcycle. the large one somemore la! and no one in his family knew until 3 yrs later.. -.- when his dad saw him mounting his bike in the carpark. Oops! "Who's bike is that?" "Err.. Mine??" Haha.. Suddenly, my uncle's happy return-from-work face totally changed. Cool man! i didn't know my cousin was this cool..

The next i'll get to see him is this december when all of us are back home in singapore la! Can't wait=) 2 more mths! Very fast one la.. Jiayou!

Day 76

Wan Yu treated us lunch yesterday. Felt so bad. Everytime she treat us and we never treat her back. =X i'm so glad i had my vanilla latte that day. It helped keep me awake through the rest of my lectures and the long night. Mocha doesn't work. Maybe it isn't strong enough. Wahaha...

Only slept at 3.30am. Cos' i did my econs analysis wrongly. and it had to be handed up the next day!!! i was so kan jiong ah.. The meaning of tariffs in the newspaper article i chose was not the same as the tariffs i learnt in the econs book. Tariffs mean a tax on imports but the meaning of tariffs in the newspaper is the price of electricity. -.-" So different la! Aiyohhh... luckily i emailed my lecturer. So i thought maybe looking for another article would be better. After i found another article and then did an analysis on it, i found out i couldn't talk much about it. Wasted my time sia.. It was 11.30pm when i decided to stick back to my original article. Worked on it until 3.30am. I wasn't even spared when i went to bed. Kept thinking about my analysis - whether i did it correctly. And then i realised i should have done it another way. Oh wells, tomorrow then do la! Didn't sleep until 4am.

Woke up next morning to amend my assignment. Had it printed out before i left for school. On the way to school, i took out my assignment for one final review. BUT still found something wrong with it. Oh man..!!! When will it end? It was a good thing i saved my assignment in my thumbdrive. i was able to amend it in school. i smart hor.. LOL.. Managed to hand it up before 5pm - the deadline. Whew.. but i still feel it's not right lei.. Haiz.. don't wanna think about it already. What's done is done..

It was Caren's birthday today. Passed her her present.. And also gave Jenny her present in advance cos' we may not meet up on her birthday - the 25th. Cos' it'll be tuition free week next wk. I noe.. Another free wk! So shiok rite?? Hey but it's only fair. Jordain's also having his break now. Actually his' already started this week and will stretch until my free week is over. That's 2 weeks ok.. Mine's only 1 wk. And i had a 1 week break some time ago too. So that makes up for the 2 weeks?? My cousin's in perth. He's having his break now. So he came all the way from Brisbane with his friends to hang out with his friends in perth which according to him, are working now. Actually my cousin also just started university in Queensland at about the same time as me. He departed from singapore one day before me. Hehe.. But he's doing year 2 now. He's exempted from year 1. So good.. Will be meeting him some time soon for a meal. I can't wait=)

I went for a jog after i came home. Crazy right?? slept at 4am but still have energy to run. Cannot ah! I haven't exercised for such a long time. Have been cooped up at home during winter and eating a lot. I'm lying if i say i didn't grow fatter! Too scared to weigh myself hahaha.. Don't wanna know how heavy i am. Ran with my sister 2 rounds around the neighbourhood. A good 10-15 mins run, then had a rest at the playground, followed by another 10-15 mins run. Nice to run in spring.. only on days when the sun is out. If not, it's still too cold to run. I love running in spring! You don't perspire much cos' the wind is still cold. 22 degrees - the highest temperature of the day. I'm surprised i didn't shiver when i wore shorts. Haha.. Oh am i gonna be so 'fried' when i go back singapore..

I'm still thinking about what my grandma said to us when i told her we were going out for a jog. "Later the dogs come running after you ah!" First, it was the ants - when we bought chocolates. Now it's the dogs.. Wao.. i'm amazed.

Day 73

Went to school yesterday. Met up with my group members to have a session with my BIS teacher. We wanted to ask him if we were on the right track for our project. Cos' if we got the front part wrong, so will the rest of our project. Luckily we went to him for help ah.. We did it wrongly or should i say our case study was confusing. My teacher was also confused. Wahaha.. but in the end, we managed to work it out. And he even taught us how to use Microsoft Access because we need to use it for our project. Actually the other 2 guys in my group had some experience with Access before. They've learnt it in Year 11/12. and i'm the only one who didn't. Oh wells.. the session was a good one. Access seems pretty easy to me. Heex!

My teacher was horrible la! He said, " When's your group presentation?" "Err.. week 11." "Then what are you guys doing?!" We fell silent. We thought he was lecturing us. =X Then suddenly he bursted out laughing. "i was just joking guys. Starting early is good." Aiyoh.. gave me a heart attack la.

Today's grocery shopping day! I FINALLY found TIM TAM=) it's biscuits. Really nice biscuits. with many different flavours.. finally understood how it looks like. Couldn't picture it when jordain told me about it. He kept on saying "it's so nice. So damn nice!" But i couldn't find it the last.. Then i found a whole column of tim tams on the shelves today. Diaoz.. Bought sticky vanilla toffee chocolate tim tams.. Sweet=D Bought potato chips too. So long didn't have tidbits le.. Am feasting on them now. Ahaha..

AT LAST.. no more sandwiches for lunch.. at least not those made at home and brought to school. The bread she buys are stale. So yucky la. She says it's the generic brand. Eee.. i'd rather eat other bread than the ones she buys. Told her we didn't want sandwiches anymore. Were sick of it. So she didn't need to buy bread for our lunch from now on. We'd buy our own lunch outside. Will not be able to save money for lunch but i think i had enough sandwiches already. Breakfast's improving too! We're no longer just sticking to crumpets, muffins and sultana bread anymore. Cos' i guess she realises we're sick of eating the same stuff everyday when we told her we're tired of eating sandwiches. Oh yeh! i'm glad she caught the hint.. She told us to have a look around what breakfast we want when we go grocery-shopping. Donuts, danish petite, croissants.. Hehe.. life's getting better. No doubt about that. Oooo.. the donuts here are especially NICE.. haven't tried it yet but it's so tempting to buy them. They're covered in colourful icings. Thick icing too! So different from singapore. They're so generous with the icing here..

Chester suddenly striked up a conversation with me. Didn't chat with him for sooooo long already. He used to be my secondary school friend until he left for canada in secondary 3? His plight is exactly the same as mine. His family was migrating to canada while mine's migrating to australia. He's still in canada and he met his girlfriend in the university there. She's singaporean. Haha! Not bad-looking la. Saw how she looked like in his display pic. He was thinking of what to give her for their 11th month together. Wahaha.. Their school system is so cool. Study for a period of time then get some work experience and then study again. So now he's working. The time difference between canada and australia is 12 hrs. Woo.. So when it was 12pm in the afternoon in canada, it's 12am midnight in aussie.

Had a taste of malaysian and australian mooncakes. No offence, but the malaysian mooncake sux.. It doesn't even taste like mooncake la! the australian mooncake was nicer. Surprisingly.. Mmm..

We had mooncake this morning! haha! when is mooncake festival by the way? LOL.. i like the egg yolk! YUM.. such a waste my sister doesn't eat them. But that's good! Cos' i can gobble it ALL up. Ahaha.. Mmm i'll miss the mooncake festival atmosphere back home.. all the late-walks in the night carrying lanterns. I still do back home you know;) Hehe.. Of cos' i play with my cousins la! The young one will get the musical lantern while the rest of us would be busy setting up the lantern and lighting the candles up. So cool!! Haiz.. guess i'll miss all the fun this year.. and for the years to come.. no lantern.. no cousins.. (i mean my paternal side cousins) miss them alot=( don't take these festivals for granted. they add a lot of colour and spice into your life especially when it's damn boring here. Seriously, i miss s'pore because of the festivals and food.. I DON'T CARE! i MUST celebrate chinese new year in s'pore before i go back! HMPH!

Day 70

Had a great day today! Went to perth city with my sister and Wan Yu to get gifts for my 2 friends. Their birthday's coming up soon.. Wah, we were so lucky la. We went into the billabong shop and saw a bag. It was priced at A$39.95. The usual price was 59.95. So we brought the bag to the counter to pay. But according to the sales person, it was priced wrongly. The correct price is 59.95. Siao ar! i die die also won't buy such an expensive item.. Luckily, he gave us the bag at 39.95 cos' rightfully that was the price we wanted to buy it for. haha! whoo!! $20 "discount". Wahahaha..

There was a street performance. Capoeira - it's a brazilian war art dance?? Quite cool you know! Nice music and nice 'fighting'. Wahaha.. Must watch towards the end! That's the most exciting part! i think it's around the 2 mins plus part??

Howz things back home guys?? Good?? i heard things over at my side back home don't seem so good.. haiz.. Hope the dark clouds will clear soon..=(

Day 69

The week turned out quite short for me. Maybe cos' i didn't need to go to school on mon and tue! haha! Tue was a free day for me cos' i'm having my legal framework and economics test this week so there wasn't lectures and tutorials. So blessed right? Wahaha.. But i wasn't slacking ok.. i was studying.. So boring.. *yawnz* haha..

Had my legal framework test on wed. It was in the CAA Lab. That means you do your mcq qsns in the computer. Heard their database has about 100 qsns so the computer will randomly pick 40 qsns for you to do.. And you get to know your marks immediately after you're done. I scored quite well=) Had 95%. Woohoo! Perhaps i was lucky - got the easier qsns. Muahaha!

Had my econs test the nxt day. We were told beforehand that we had to complete 30 qsns in 45 mins. But turned out we only had 24 qsns, to work out in the same time period. How cool is that?! My friend frightened me la.. She took the test on tue and said it was difficult. Made me so nervous.. But to my surprise, the paper was quite easy lor.. Then again, maybe my batch had the easier paper. Haha! I'm SOOO lucky.. Heex=D Can't wait for my accounting and econs results!!!

=( i'm having green sweet peas everyday. I'm not kiddin.. EVERYDAY.. So sianz la. i'm gonna have it for the rest of spring.. *pRaYs**Summer PLS come!* LOL.. And i don't like the weather at all.. Hello.. Where's spring?? The weather's not even warming up at all. I think the temperature reached 10 degrees this afternoon la.. Hate the wind.. it's so bloody cold.. Can blow you backwards one de la... Err.. not so exaggerating ba.. but it's so strong it can make your feet shift one step backwards.

Day 64

We thought that by giving her a note last night to inform her that we weren't coming home for lunch today was sufficient. But apparently, they had already prepared leftover lunch for us the night before. Like how would we know right? But she never said we had to go home to eat.. haha.. so we decided on our own accord that we'd have lunch outside. Maybe they'd have our lunch?? Aha..

Stopped by the playground before church. We reached early ah.. if we took the later bus, we'd be late. Sianz.. Anywayz, church was good today. A visiting indian priest came to explain the gospel reading. Not bad.. Quite interesting. The moral of the gospel is "You have to give up your earthly possessions in order to be the Lord's disciple." He then made it more interesting by telling a story.

A priest occassionally goes to a family's house for visits. There's this little boy who always tells his parents and the priest that he wants to be a priest when he grows up, and he'd be very enthusiastic about it. When the priest came back to pay a visit to that family again, he saw the teenager boy and asked him, "So how's your plan of becoming a priest?" "Father, i'm still thinking about being a priest", he replied. A few years later, when the boy is all grown up, the priest asked again about his plans of being a priest. "Mmm.. you see. i'm thinking of planning to send my boy to the seminary (training school for priests)." Haha!

After church, we went back to the playground. Love the swings. Hehe..

We went to KFC for lunch. my first fast-food meal! The meal set not only includes chicken and whipped potato, but fries and bun too. And a pepsi! Not bad la.. except that the whipped potato tasted far worse than s'pore's.

Had fun again at the playground in my neighbourhood. But got home and sort of received "cold" treatment from my auntie. cos' we didn't go home for lunch. They still kept the lunch for us ah.. Oh oh..

'Tightrope' performance!! Must watch!! haha..

Day 62

My auntie asked me this morning if the buses come on time. Then she was saying that amanda mentioned the buses always coming late. But the buses mostly came on time for me lei. Her words are so jackpot man! For no reason, my bus didn't come at the allocated time. It only came at the next timing, late somemore.. Reached class 10 minutes late, panting..

I had a chicken sub for dinner. At 4.30pm. Had an accounting test later on at 6pm. So weird right? they put the test so late. The chicken sub was LONG.. something like subway.. but it's cheap. Such a long piece for only A$5.50. i have never liked eating bread with fillings. Dunno how to eat. Everything starts spilling out once i bite into it. Haha! i dirtied the table again after the lady helped cleaned it for us.

It started raining quite heavily. And then a rainbow came out. The rainbows here are way cool!! They're so damn obvious and big!!

Nice right?? Stretched across the whole sky..

Went for my accounting test. It was a 1 hr 40 mins test. I finished the test 1/2 hr before it ends so i could leave early. That's the good thing about australia exams.. You can leave earlier once you're done. Except you can't leave 15 mins before it ends. The test was quite ok.. Hope i do well! haha.. They're quite smart la.. They purposely have 3 different versions of the test. And position the test papers in such a way that the person beside and in front of you has different papers from you so that you can't copy. Haha..

i FINALLY experienced the night weather. It's extremely cold.. i can't stop shivering at all.. Heard from my sis after i came home that there was a hail storm at 5 plus.. How come i didn't see it?? hehe.. i always miss the opportunity to see hail storms la..

Thur, 6 Sept 2007

Day 60

It's a cold day. 15 degrees. Where's the justice done man.. it's getting warmer in melbourne (according to jordain) but not in perth.

My bus stalled. I boarded the bus to get down one stop later. -.-" Thanks alot! Almost turned up late for class. To make things worse, I had to carry the 2 damn heavy books used for my BIS assignment research to school . Was so relieved when i dropped it off at the library return section. So exhausting ah..

BIS lecture ended 1 hr earlier. So we had 3 hrs to kill!! So long arh.. the 2 hr's break was MORE than enough. Went to upload our BIS assignment into the school system then headed to karawana shopping centre again. We went to mikasa to have lunch. It's a japanese eating house. Took some great pictures..

This is Wan Yu.. and me. She's from Brunei.

And of course, Caren and me.. She's so fair right?? and pretty ;) Don't you agree? Haha..

Wed, 5 Sept 2007
Day 60

i don't remember having to bring my umbrella everyday back home.. the rain is just so sickening.. Actually the umbrella doesn't serve much purpose here la.. the wind will just 'deliver' the rain to you without your consent.

Haiz.. i forgot to switch off the internet again last night. I swear.. everytime i finish my stuff at 1am, i'd forget to go to the study room and switch it off. I must be dead tired to even remember.
My "MOST FAVOURITE" vegetable of the month - sweet green peas. been having it for 3 days in a row le.. Can you imagine having to eat it everyday? it's either with prawns and fishcake one day. Beef and thye wan chye sim the next day. And chicken plus tofu the following day. Haiz sian sian.. That happens when you have green peas growing in your backyard -.-"

i bought a cookie to eat after my accounting class. HUGE man..!! it's very filling even if you didn't have anything to eat before that. half of it is covered in chocolate. Sweet.. mmm how do i say it? the cookie's as big as my palm. wait.. it's 1 1/2. All the cookies here are this small. this small.. get it?

i wonder what the kids here carry in their school bags. it's so BIG!! and it looks heavy.. They don't need to carry any books. They don't have homework... They don't have a standard syllabus to follow. Cos the teachers are their 'walking dictionary'. Seriously, they just teach them whatever they FEEL like teaching. My gosh.. this is so unfair.. but i think i'm still in favour of s'pore's education system. Just not the heavy books and stress part. Haha!

Tue, 4 Sept 2007
Day 59

Damn!! why didn't i have school yesterday??!! it was so bright and sunny and hot! i heard the temperature reached 25 degrees in the afternoon. Shiok sia.. i stayed at home lo.. and the house temperature was only 21 degrees. Haiz.. i missed out on a great opportunity to soak in the sun. =( i'm so stupid. Spring starts on the 1st of september and i didn't know that. well.. i guess because the weather didn't change much, that's why i couldn't tell if it was spring already.

i brought my sister's laptop to school today. So heavy ah! Had to do my BIS assignment. been at it for 1 week liao.. They want a full report.. with content page, table of contents, references, appendices and glossary. So ma fan ah! Do you know they have a machine to check your references? If you copied directly from anywhere, THEY'D KNOW.. and YOU'RE DEAD. cos that spells ZERO. That's why i'm taking so long to do my assignment. Have to have at least 10 references and must paraphrase EVERY SINGLE THING. hate it!!!

i almost 'killed' my sister's laptop on the way home. i was wondering why there was water dripping onto my legs. I actually thought it came from the top of the bus. But NOOO.. it was from my uncapped bottle. OOPS!! heng the laptop could still work when we tested it out as soon as we got home. Whew!! I wouldn't mind if it was my laptop but my sister's laptop - it's brand new!! i'll not only be strangled by my sis but my parents back home.. Yikes!

The evening was nerve-wrecking. I wanted to book the same lab timing as my friend to do our legal framework test but turned out there were so many problems. One minute that slot was available for me but not for her. The nxt minute hers was available but not mine. GEEZ.. What's wrong with the system? Plus my sis was bugging me with her internet connection. Apparently it couldn't work after i brought it to school. Then she started crying. Tried to help her but couldn't solve the problem. After that, she thought i threw her back the problem to work it out herself because i went back to booking my test. That made things even worse. Sorry ah manda.. But hey! after i got my stupid lab booking done, i went back to help her okay?? she actually thought i ditched her. Do i seem like that kind of person? Luckily i managed to get her internet working again.. Aiyoz..

Day 57

I LOVE the Sun... Love it love it!! We rushed out the house to bathe ourselves in the sun with every opportunity given. My auntie told us not to step onto the grass because my uncle added fertilisers to the ground. But who cares??!! Haha..

Spring's coming soon.. and everyone's busy planting again. I see beautiful flowers sprouting out from the once barren ground.

And now i know where our sweet peas come from. My grandmother's garden. Haha.. See the picture??

You want to know how noisy our whining can get?? Haha.. One word..

EXTREMELY!!
