my handphone is dying on me ! the screen is going crazy . my current phone is the nokia 6111 where u slide the phone. so now when i slide up or down, the screen goes blank for about 5 to 10 seconds. its going crazy. thank God i'm going home in April so i get to get my phone checked out. grrr. its driving me crazy
this week by far has been a very much better week for me. althought the weather sucks. temperature's dropping. tomorrow's max temp will be 18 degrees. goshness
on sunday, we'll be moving opur clocks back by an hour . so we'll only be two hours faster than time in SIngapore. hoho. that also means i get to sleep for an hour more. whee.
internet has been down for the past few days for i have no idea reasons. haha.
and its so cold my fingers are a bit numb and frozen hahas. its just rained.
well well i collected my air ticket already. the woman her name is hestia.. cool right. hmmm she didn't allow me to e-ticket it. anyway i don;t think i'd know what to do if it was e-ticket lar. lolx. so now i have my confirmed flight and air ticket with me . i'm feeling secure now. they game me everything in this cool folder thing. heh. i'm quite amazed by me. its such a good invention.
hey neo !! this is dedicated to you ! hahas. i'm listening to this song called 'i'm into something good' by herman's hermits. its putting me into a good mood so i'll be nice and tell everyone about neo so he'll have more fans and more people will secretly like him. lolx.. neo is this super cool guy where anything that is his belongs to albert house. so we always get to eat his food. esp prawn crackers and nutella !! hahas. he's very muscular. so when u touch his muscles you'll get horny. lolx he also has this super nice periodic table up in his room. it's dropped down alreday if i'm not wrong lolx and he has these very smelly brown converse shoes that u can smell from outside the door. overall. neo is still the nicest and most handsome guy in albert house. *crosses fingers* without you, albert house will seriously be BORING.
till next time !.

i was supposed to eat indomie with andrew after planet shakers but then shuk and the rest wanted to go get free tickets to the closing ceremony of the commonwealth games. so i was really caught between going to church and going for the ceremony thing. and i didn't go to church in the morning. so i was feeling quite bad about it. then i decided not to go church and go to the ceremony. but then i was also feeling a bit confused because i'm feeling a bit sick and i also have to complete homework by tomorrow because my chem tutor wants to collect it. so in the end i changed and everything already but then shaleen didn't really want to go too. so i changed back to home clothes and decided to stay at home instead. well i went to cook indomie for dinner and after that them i realised i was supposed to eat with andrew although he thought i would ps him. aargh. so anyway i woke up at 130 today and was supposed to meet ninghui to buy hairdrier. but then i thought if i go to planet shakers then i could just go to BIG W to pick it up and then i wouldn't need to walk all the way to city and back again because initially i said i would go church. aargh
so in the end i stayed at home the whole day and practically rotted away. we watched ice age just now but the reception was very bad on tv. this is such a bad day !! i hate my decision making skills.
lesson learnt : don't be fickle minded. just make ONE decision and stick to it
!
its a damn complicated situation. so now i'm thinking its like a once in a lifetime kind of thing. like you're only 17 once. why not do everything i can. and if the rest really got free tickets to go inside the stadium i'm going to be SUPER DUPER pissed with myself. grrr
i don't know what crap things are going on now. and i have such bad decision making skills. this is really BAD . boo
and exams are in two weeks and i haven't studied finish. although i'm so looking forward to going home and enjoying myself !! aah . can't wait can't wait !

but then firstly i realised that i haven't been online in two weeks and have been forsaking everyone that matters to me back home. things here are just so FUN . its almost as though i haven't had time for everyone
yupps well just now we went to this supermarket called LAGUNA. and they sell lots of asian food stuff ! was so fun . but i didn't have money with me and thyey didn't allow eftpos which is equivalent to atm in singapore. so now i know where to get all the yummy food to eat !!
yay. i think for now i shall spend money when i want to - that sort of thing. like not try to save so much or something and i should draw more money at a time. having no money in my wallet is a very horrible feeling.
oh this morning or rather afternoon i woke up late. i woke up at 2. so i had to like make my own lunch. i ate cornflakes with milk peaches and strawberry yoghurt. milk and strawberry yoghurt doesn't really go very well together. yah then i went online and chatted with ivan for like a super long time. till like dinner which is at 545
hmmm i watched 'raise your voice' just now . i now finally know how the song 'someone's watching over me ' came about. whoopie. its a really nice show. but the thing i realised is never watch movies with chances of crying in a place where people can walk in and out or watch with two guys because there's the chancethat they will talk and comment about the movie and will spoil the whole mood lolx
yes. and well neo bought whisky today. and a few of them drank shots. they tried to make me drink cos i drank a bit of wine on pong's birthday. but then i thought about it and like 40+% would probably kill me because i get tipsy easily. i mean i get high but thats the wrong vocab according to neo. high is only for drugs so everything else must be tipsy lolx
i think getting drunk is quite a scary thing. i was quite freaked out by what was going on just now when they were drinking. but maybe its a bit of pms or the whole day just put me in a bad mood. so i don't really know. bah
oh and on the way home we all tried to push the trolley home cos we bought lots of drinks and food to eat. but then safeway is much smarter than that. they have this sensor thing that deosn't allow you to push it out of the designated floors lolx
i don't know if it actually works. but we tried to push it out from the carpark but then it was a really steep slope up and it was quite a long way. so we chickened out and carried the heavy bags home.
so thats almost all thats going on in my life. and i think tomorrow night time in melbourne time is going to be moved back an hour.so we'll only be two hours ahead of singapore. heehee. quite funny lar. its called daylight saving . hahas
okie dokie,. cheerios people. till my next update. take care ok ! i love u !
oh and i haven't been able to update photos because i lost my camera. i don't know if i updated about it but i'm still upset about it. boo
oh well if i haven't sent u a card or email or friendster testi i haven't forgotten u yet ok. just give me some time .. i'm still adjusting to life here. its a bit harder than i expected it to be. yupps.
and the best thing is that i'm coming home in april ! i'm so ecstatic. i've been missing home SO MUCH ! aah
i miss you all who matter so much to me !!

another problem about coming online is my limited internet in there. for a month we only get 300mb unless you pay more to get more. they renew the counter on the 20th. hahas. i'm trying to survive without buying more mb to use. i'll just use sparingly when my internet has gone up. 5 days more to go and 50mb. i can survive lar.
its autumn now ! so weather's getting cold. now the average is about max21 degrees and min13 degrees and it isn't even winter yet.
i think a lot of scary things can happen when you're away from home, all alone, in a hostel with a whole bunch of people who can be so two faced so its hard to see who you can trust and who you can't
the best i can do is to just try to be as true to who i am as possible and not to make enemies witho anyone. to be the nice girl i am. and to make life as easy i can. its hard enough to be all by myself but having to go through all this SHIT again really sucks. i've had quite a fair bit of experience in all these petty friendship squabbles. so now i just think people are really childish. and when you confide in someone you never know when he/she is spying for the other person.
scary ??
that day i stayed up till 730am talking to my house mate. he's super nice lar. was feeling super bored so we just kept talking and talking. hmmm. and then i managed to wake up at ten to go for church service
i've finally got my calling card so i can call people and talk nonsense soon. i talked to jm last night for about an hour plus and only 80 cents were deducted ! can u believe it ??!! what a great deal right. hahas. cool lar
hmmm i hope everyone back in singapore is doing well. coping well with jc life and people going to poly are getting ready for the coolest time of their life
we all choose different paths in our lives but i'm sure no matter what happens we'll make the best of the opportunities that come our way.
i'm going to the yarra river at southbank later cos they say there are going to be fireworks. because of the commonwealth games of course !! exciting right. my other house mate studying in taylor's college says he's going to sit outside our hostel and just watch the cycling ! yupps. cool ah
anyway cheerios people ! i need to follow my friend to the phone shop
we bought prepaid cards/. and when ou top up your credit, they print this receipt with a password. then you're supposed to call he number on the card to process the credit you topped up. well this funny girl didn't know. so she threw away her receipt ! hahas. funny right !

here's the full address. i guess you'd have to put the melbourne australia thing. and pearl ! i'll send you a letter soon !
i'm happily enjoying cool weather here in melbourne. although it gets cold at nights and its already autumn now which will follow on to winter in a few months time , and thats when it'll start to realy get lonely. i'm pretty much enjoying my stay over here. apart from the *ahems* not so good food over here and the unpredictable weather all the time, its really fun lar.
lessons have started so its getting a bit hectic. classes end at 515 and dinner is at 545. so by like 10, everyone sort of gets hungry. and i think only people staying at albert house are really muggers. no one else seems to do their homework except people from albert house, i wonder if most people come here not to study. haha
in a way, thats good cos it'll be easier for me to score *grins*
i've been trying to improve on my participation in class. cos in secondary school i hardly volunteered or raised my hand to ask questions. but now they give marks for participation in class and arguing with the teacher and stuff. and so far i realised that i'm not tat bad at it at all. cos some people like my friend who i had literature tutorial with just now was trying to give his views on the poem and i think the teacher was a bit irritated because he was trying to be smart but ended up changing the context of the poem. don't be mistaken, we're not doing shakespeare yet or anything. just some basic poems and stuff. hahas and the tutor kept staring at me. was quite funny. then we did another poem called 'the sycamore tree' and we were given ten minutes to read the poem and draw the tree. and mine was really bad . hahas. really funny i tell you and he showed the whole class what each person drew.
heh. overall most people here are nice lar. i found people who study. so i'll call them to go study together or something and stuff like that. i sound like such a mugger: people muist be thinking ' what is she doing ??!! , we all come here to slack not mug like in singapore ' . but whatever lar.
was quite pissed with my roommate that day cos she wants to do medicine so she really studies like a CRAZY PERSON. i mean crazy. like i study A LOT but she really studies like a MADWOMAN even others are SUPER SCARED of her. and she saw me studying then she said ' whoo you're finally studying. its about time right' bleahx. i wanna do dental lar . and thats not really far from wanting to do medicine. boo
oh well, miss you all lots ! love you guys.
YWednesday, March 01, 2006
i went to the best camp out of the three. and it was really really very slack, the most slack i have ever been to. we could do anything we wanted whenever we wanted. could sleep at any time we wanted. eat at anytime and just go into the kitchen to get snacks or drinks whenever we wanted. they only assigned us about four activities throughout the camp you know. how cool is that. the night before we came back, we were up till about 4am just lying on the road looking up at the clear sky. there are like a hundred times more stars in the sky here than in singapore where its too bright to see anything. haha
despite all the blessings in my life and being able to make so many new friends, its inevitable that silly squabbles will arise. and to think its happened at only my second or third week here. which makes me really miss home. cos my close group of girl friends are quite childish and immature. sighs don't even want to think about what things are going to be like. blah. i just want someone outside of the whole situation to talk to. i miss coming home and talking to tita about stuff. or complaining about school to daddy and mummy. or telling jiejie gossips. oh well. december will be here really soon. bah.
i've been walking a lot since we got here. the walk to the university takes about half an hour each day. so we have to walk another half an hour home for lunch and another half an hour to make it for our next class after lunch and its quite useless to take a tram cos there are no trams to our place. its nearer and faster to walk i think hahas.
ok lar. i shall stop here. i'm missing all my friends close and not so close ones for everyone has played a part in my life in singapore. but now i'm starting a new chapter in melbourne and things may be a bit hard at first but i'm sure i'll be able to rise to the challenge and accomplish great things here
i'm wondering if i should get onto any of the committees in school. there's the foundation studies student committee, yearbook committe and the student gift program committee. i think it will be fun . but i don't know if it will be too time consuming.
