The feeling of donating blood is just out of this world! i was quite nervous at first but after giving almost one bag of blood, i felt good. Happy that i may be helping someone in need =) couldnt give the entire bag of blood because the lady was worried i would pass out due to my small frame but its good enough. at least the blood's enough for a baby haha - according to my colleague =p

But yea, there were 4 of us. 2 couldnt give, one had asthma not long ago and the other couldnt seem to get blood flowing from both her arms. and the thing is, both of them were repeat blood doners. Whereas my other colleague and i were new donors and we were able to donate haha.. so funny. my 'rocker' machine kept on beeping, indicating that the blood is not flowing smoothly and whenever it beeps, all the nurses turned to look at me cos they were worried i might faint anytime lol..

Good news! I passed my CA exam! =) Woohoo! its not a great mark cos i marginally passed but i wasnt expecting that i'd do well cos i didnt finish almost 1/4 of the paper. lucky i dont need to do a supplementary paper whew.. and pass rate was 67%. Dont know if i shld be feeling happy about that. mmm.. anyway, its time to start on my next module - audit. most dreaded one of all. eerrrwwkk! so dry and boring..

I just got a new phone. the sony ericsson xperia arc =) still trying to play around with the phone functions and applications. The good thing about this phone is the ability to customise the look on ur screen. Time to get creative! ;) i've missed the phone camera.. been out of touch with it for abt 2 yrs.. finally got to use it and its an 8mp camera! AHHHH i just love it! when i go back spore, i'm gonna take lotsa pictures with u guys!

Been putting the phone camera to good use when my family and i went to the newly refurbished St. Mary's Cathedral in perth, just opposite the royal perth hospital. Such a beautiful place.. the church excuisite designs can blow u away.. cos it did for me =D

The altar..

Beautiful coloured glass panes everywhere in the church..

Standing inside the entrance of the church..

Outside the church..

I must say they did a beautiful job of restoring the church =)

Only thing I didnt fancy abt the it was the echo. Because the church is so big, when the priest speaks, u can hear echo.. Other than that, the church is wonderful!

Sorry to all my friends who have waited so long for me to update my blog. or those who have given up waiting =p

I found it really difficult to juggle work and study life together. It was hard to breathe and I didnt have time for myself. No time for self-indulgence, just felt like a hermit crab at home. I didnt even touch my hotmail account or facebook as often as i used to.

Just glad that I've finished my first exam. Can relax a little now but there's still stress at work. But at least its more manageable with one less thing to worry about or work hard at =)

I looked at all ur graduation holiday pics =D they're awesome! Bet u all had fun! Sadly, i've never had a graduation get-away.. or maybe, I didnt have anyone to go with to start. Besides, with work and studies now, I cant even dream of getting away =(

Got the pep-talk with dad today.. apparently mum forced him to talk to me about my house contribution. She was haunting me the past 2 days about how much i gave to support the household. Made me feel like an unfilial child =( I did ask earlier on how much I shld give or a rough estimate but u didnt want to say. I asked because I didnt want this to happen. Now u're making me feel like the bad guy.

I wont say its ur fault cos the both of u arent working anymore. Now the whole family is counting on me to support them. Suddenly, I feel like I've taken on such great responsibility and a heavy burden. Wont be able to save much on my salary but I've no choice. My parents retired early and i'm the only breadwinner.

Forgive me for this is such a big shock to me. Give me time to adjust to this cos i'm suddenly earning much more but also giving away a lot. I hope u'll understand the heartache and pinch I'm feeling but I promise u I will do my job. Just allow me some time to wake up from my dream of still being a kid..
