i dun like things to be kept from me - esp. not from u.. wanted to ask u wads wrong.. but it occurred to me u didnt wan to talk abt it. i can be so contradicting sometimes - i said u cld tell me when u're ready but.. but how can i remain silent when u're feeling down? i wan so much for u to share with me but... hais.

dad just gave me a talk abt the benefits of staying in australia to find a job cos mum told him i wanted to return to spore to work. he mentioned car prices, houses, salary, work stress, boyfriend etc. Seems everything is in favour of australia. i dunno why but i was tongue-tied. i didnt giv much input, didnt argue with him the benefits of spore and why i love it. i dunno anymore. was hoping i cld share with u my feelings on this and ask for ur opinions. but.. Suddenly i dun feel like ending uni.. i'm so lost. wad shld i do?

Last Monday i attended the VC (Vice-Chancellor) List Presentation Ceremony. didnt expect so many pple to be there. there were 215 VC List students that night, with their guests. the whole lecture theatre was flooded. one by one, our names were called and we went up to receive our certificates. it started with those receiving the award for the FIRST time. and then the SECOND time, the THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH and when u tot it cldnt get any better, the EIGHTH time!!! the claps kept on getting louder as it progressed. the person who got the VC List for the eighth time gt invited up to the stage to give a speech. Apparently, he just finished his honours and is now working for the Reserve Bank of Australia in Canberra doing some statistics work - something that is related to his maths degree. If he gt it for the eighth time, that means he gt into the VC List every semester la! WAHHH he's really very smart. not to mention, perhaps he gt his genes from his professor mum and dad.

Somehow i feel quite small being in that room with other people having gotten into the List more times than i did. but I'm not saying i dun feel lucky to be there. the whole congregation is made up of people from all Curtin campuses around the world, including the one in Sydney, Malaysia, Singapore and of cos, Perth. I am one of the lucky few who got into the top 1% of all the undergraduate courses in the university. I'm happy i did it not only for myself, but for my parents =) glad i made them proud.

Last thursday, I went for dental checkup. and had to do a filling for the first time. The dentist had to drill my teeth to make the hole bigger so he can put the filling in. i noe, it sounds scary. but it didnt hurt one bit cos he injected my gums with sth to make it numb. he made my gums bleed accidentally but i cldnt feel it. HAA! until now it still feels weird having something hard and rough inside my mouth that is not my teeth -.-"

I'm in the midst of my 2 wk break from uni. left with only half a week.. I went to church 4 times in a row last wk - from gd fri to easter sunday.. suddenly feel so holy. haha just jk! mum left on sat back to singapore. on sunday after church, my sisters and i and my cousin went to Hillarys boat harbour for lunch, supposedly to chill. There were alot of boats there, as u can tell from the name of the place. and a small beach. That day wasnt hot either, it was cooling and the sun was shining. quite nice for a trip to the beach. we first stopped to eat fish and chips and then strolled around. stayed there for abt 3 hrs after which, we headed back home..

feel so tired of my hungry jacks job alr.. dun feel like working there anymore. so physically tiring. hais.. nvm endure charm! its only another 2-3 mths b4 u quit. aiks! better start studying for test too. gt one when i go back uni, another one the wk after and yet another one the wk after after. NOOO!!!
