soo sexy 

Our inability to read Japanese

I am seriously going to master Japanese. Blacks and I went to Junction 8 yesterday and saw this "picture hut" place for you to take all this neoprints (are they still called that?) and decided to go in and take one...since my FRINGE we havent taken a picture together. Our inability to read Japanese made us choose wrongly first by going into the booth where they print stickers instead of cards and made us choose lousy background designs and only printed like 1 shot after taking 6. Although the Japanese words were in katakana (Japanese characters for direct english translation) I would have to be there for at least 40mins before I can finish reading everything. I WANT TO MASTER MY JAPANESE!!!!

Day 2 in Singapore and I am going through the first weel of transition. Going from student to unemployed...the transition is giving me all sorts of emotions. Although I am still in the unpacking mode. I also am wondering what I am going to do now. I have began my mad frantic of looking for a job which I just realise is not as easy as I think!!!! Lucky blacks din have to worry about this when he graduated....But I am enjoying Singapore. For a modern liberal cosmopolitan woman that I like to see myself, I really quite enjoy the stifling Singapore. The hustle and bustle. The weather (mebbe becos so far it has been good). The food of course and the pace of life. Probably the only thing I really miss is the fresh air in Perth especially. The breath of air with no carbon monoxide in it. The lightness of the air. But well, you cant always have the best of both worlds.

Just realise that blacks and I are quite boring a couple...at least Im sure we are to outsiders. Saturday night and we spent most of it at home. He got of work at 3 then went to visit his dad in the hospital...dinner at bishan (chicken rice! but Ive tasted better)...walk around at Junction 8 a bit then went to his place and watch telly. Not the "happening" couple that goes out clubbing and all..hehehe....I AM ONLY 22!!!!!!

But watched a really interesting documentary about Singapore men and Singapore women and Vietnamese Brides. It featured this 33 year old guy who married a Viet bride after 1 week of meeting her and this Singaporean Indian fella who married Singapore wife after 8 years of courtship. The first relationship the women does everything, cooking washing etc. The 2nd relationship its the husband that cooks and stuff. Then there are the men who complain about how demanding and picky Singaporean women are. WHO ISNT??? For men, they want the looks and body so that they can flaunt their girlfriend/wife. For women, we want the stability so that we can have a better life. Personally, its wrong to scrutinize the Singaporean women as such because I think women from most if not all the developed countries would be liddat. As countries become more affluent and the people are more and more educated, it is only inevitable that women and men becames more "demanding" when seeking a soulmate (I would say partner/spouse but the words sounds so corny). Taking China women for example, at one point they were the "hot brides" to get, but as China becomes more economically powerful and the people are more affluent and educated. Overnight, these China women are no longer interested in simply being a WIFE. If Singaporean women are demanding and picky, then so are the men! They want a beautiful woman with a mind of her own but stress that she shouldnt express herself so often and yet be able to cook and do household chores AND tolerate living with in-laws AND care of his parents. For the 2 relationships they featured, they showed the guy and his viet wife watching telly and there seem to be no love b/w them, they sit on opposite ends of the couch and simply watch telly. WORSE, the wife actually said that when they first got married, she din know him and din love him, now she loves him a litte. Doesnt it sound like empathy/sympathy love? WORST! The man's criteria for a wife is she must be able to care for the house and his parents...whats the difference then with getting a maid?

Whatever happened to the traditional fall in love and choosing to be together?

It really makes me appreciate what blacks and I've got. And as I sit here in front of my computer and watch him sleep (dozed off while reading newspaper), I thank whoever you believe for having him. His is my big black angel from somewhere.

PS: I hope you guys can see the picture of him sleeping.....Im feeling so in love and watch him sleep...."SOOOO" sexy.....hehehhe

Go catch the thief that stole the chicken

Here is a story. Allow me to set the scene for you. Here's a farmer, who with his lovely wife, has a son and a daughter. They lived happily, contented with what they have. One day, the son discovered that one of their chicken was stolen! He ran to his dad and went,"Dad! Dad! One of our chicken was stolen!"

Dad replied,"Well son, the go find the thief who stole the chicken." and sent the son away. The son thought, well, we actually have a lot more chicken. So, whats ONE chicken to us anyway? With that thought, he decided to bugger all with finding the thief.

The next day, one of their sheep was stolen! as before he told his dad about it, and guess what dad replied? "Son," he said," Go look for the thief who stole the CHICKEN" and sent his son away. The son thought, wait a minute... the sheep was stolen, and dad wants me to find the chicken?? He must be losing it! well, we might have a lot less sheep than chicken, but, bugger, whats a sheep to us anyway. He decided to not do anything about it.

The third day, their daughter was kidnapped!!! The son ran to his father and said,"Dad! Dad, sister was kidnapped!" Do you konw what the father replied? The father said," well son, go find the thief who stole the chicken." This time, the son can take no longer, he retorted,,"DAD!!! ARE U OUTTA YA MIND??? SIS WAS KIDNAPPED!"

Of course the father has his reason. He replied,"If you had found the thief who stole the chicken, the our sheep wouldnt be stolen, and your sister wouldnt have been kidnapped!"

At this juncture, allow me to pose u a question: Where is the mother??? haha, no, seriously, the take away is this. No matter how small or insignificant a wrong doing it, something must be done about it. The remedy action that u adopt, it might be rigtht, it might be wrong. afterall, who are we to judge? BUT if you dont do anything about it, the implications might hit you and it might hit you hard in the future.

Here is another of my principle of life:

Sometimes when one munch on a cookie, one would place a hand under your mouth, hoping to catch the crumps. However, more often than not, u'll find that your hand didnt manage to catch all of it and some of the crumps... well, most of it, were on the floor. Life's a little like this if u ask me. View each single individual crump as a mistake. For every mistake that you observed, every single crump that you caught in your hand, there are countless others that went unnoticed. Therefore, for every mistake, remedy it with your utmost, make sure that it didnt happen again... cos underneath that, there are many more being perpetuated, many more which u cant do a single thing about.

that all folks.

In Mel-bong

I hope noone sent out a search party for me as I havent been signing into my blog. Kinda neglected it after my computer has been packed off to Singapore. My last paper on Thursday went ok. It was a little more tricky than I expected but it was a great relieve for everything to be over.

I had the most hilarious time in Utopia on Thursday thanks to Kevin's ultimate selections of songs. I don't think I have ever sang 'cha shao bao', 'ai pia jiak eh eia', 'rasa sayang', 'xiao ren wu de qing chun' and many other funny songs in karaoke in my life. But it was all in good fun and I really enjoyed myself. I really here wanna say a personal and a big big thank you to aileen for being soo thoughtful and buying us the cake. You really din have to do that. Yours is coming soon too! Hang in there.....

Friday we went strawberry picking and it was really fun for the first 5 mins and then the sun got to me and I got really lethargic. Besides from the fact that I was hungry.

Now I am in Melbourne. Time flies, I am already in my second day in Melbourne. I really dont feel like doing anything expect rest and sleep and sleep and rest. Oh did a fantastic thing today, I had almost an entire rockmelon for breakfast. Hahahah amazing feat.

Here, I wanna pay tribute to another amazing singer added to the list. CASEY DONOVAN. 2004 Australian Idol!!!! You rock!!!! Talent is simply oozing out of ur pores.

last paper..

E-Ying is having her last paper tomorrow and in less than 2 weeks time she will be finally home... My mobile is spoilt, have to use ear piece if not cannot hear... anyway, why do you need to konw all that? Its because of the saying...

"When the river flows from the mountain and into the ocean, there will be fishes...."

*huh??*

the sms poem for me!

On march 19 i fell in love,
To a guy who hasnt given me any dove.
He is sweet and he is tall,
He even plays basketball.
His name is black,
But he is no slack.
I love my man and if I can,
I want to be his bumblebee.
I love you baby.
Know how much i love to wake up with something.
Muacks. I'm yours. Forever. You want, you want?

A Tribute

I am in my last week of Uni and would take a min out to pay a tribute to friends in UWA who have touched my life in one way or another.

In alphabetical order;

Aileen: You are my first friend in Uni, my first project mate in MM. Thanks for being so patient with me. I know I can be a handful sometimes. Thanks also for always listening when I need someone to listen and suppering with me (especially Year 1) and I take some blame for your putting on weight. Hehe. Anyway have a good last semester. Study Hard. I'll internet message you from Singapore. Hehehe.

Emily: My favourite housemate. I miss all your tonic soup, your craziness and most of all your company this semester. Our house sooo quiet this semester and I live such an unhealthy lifestyle. No homecook meals and no gym! Thank you for providing me solutions when I run into problem with Xiaohei in the first semester. Muacks! Miss you....hehehehe

Ivan: Yo Bro. You are probably the most "jiang yi qi" male friend. Initially thought you are so helpful because you want to buaya all the women but then realise you are the REAL THING which is quite unreal. Sometimes I wonder why you put up with all the girls because we always suan you. Hehehe. But you are a good hearted decent ah-pek. Enjoy your "conspiracy theories" and your coffee company. I hope you find true happiness.

Kevin: The second half of Navin. Your quick wit never fails to amaze me. Your scarcastic humour towards everyone is subtle yet brutal --> great. Yet, you display a side of tenderness and sweetness towards Nancy that makes me green with envy (especially this semester when XH is in Singapore). Continue to be good to Nancy....or you have plenty of us to deal with....

Kim: My gossip buddy!!!! Hehe I never thought we would be such good friends in such a short span of time but who knows! You are one of the groovist chick who, in a nutshell, COOKS FANTASICALLY! My mahjong, kopi, dinner, clubbing buddy....gonna miss you when I go back. I will go home and brush up my Chinese and Cantonese so you wun be able to laugh at me anymore!!!! Here, I would pay a tribute to Meredith too. Although sometimes I really feel we have a generation gap because you look at us funny when Kim and I laugh at things you totally dun find funny, but you are one funny guy too. But Im admire your intelligence the most. You make me wanna be smart in some way or another.

Nancy: My poly school mate turn UWA friend. This is how small the world is. You are the kind of people I dunno whether to admire or hate. Like dun need to study then always do damn well. Thank god I got a few project do with you...always a good thing. Actually, I wanna say thanks you and Kev (and Im sure I speak for a few people here) for your generosity. You and Kev's big heartedness really touched me and I doubt I'll meet another as generous a couple again. So thanks. Also, just wanna say sometimes I think you sooooooooo swwweeeeettttt it makes my hair stand. Hahahahah.

Parry: Long Live Parry Tan! You are the biggest joker I know man. Always come up with the corniest and funnist jokes like 'where do you find the most corn?'. My word of advice to you is give up the Chinese lah, you speak sound like some ang-moh, you write like primary school. But then again, it makes us laugh so much. Funny is like simply oozing out of your pores. Keeps Yeelee entertain.

Yeelee: The rubbish one that says everyone is so skinny and she is so fat when really she is the stick thin one. I see you as the friend who has a million personality (a good thing. Not the split personality psycho type hor!). There is the studying-yeelee, very no nonsense, 100% focus, study hard and consistent type. The shopaholic yeelee. The caffine free yeelee. The quiet girlfriend of Parry's yeelee. And the most shocking one, the rocker chick kararoke yeelee singing Beyond and Wu Bai. You are really a person to look up to.

I also want to take this opportunity to say thanks to the man who thinks that I am the world's best girlfriend even tho I have been really short with him lately. The man who is so patient with me when I am crabby, makes me laugh when I am upset, lets me cry when I need to let it out and no matter what, continues to hold my hand and continues to love me. Thanks to the guy who fits almost 95% of my prototype. My SAF Captain. My 'Hei-Ren'. My neighbour. My Xiaohei. I know you have been waiting since July 17 for me to finish uni and go home and I finally am. Perth will now forever hold a special place in my heart. But I will truly miss the times we had when we were here. Thanks for being the one who wear his hot short running shorts to seduce me. Thanks for being the one who ask me to accompany him to the computer lab to study. Thanks for coming over to my place and eat my lousy cooking and watch anime with me even though you only did it because you liked me and wanted to spend time with me. Thanks for being the one to make a decent chick outta me. Thanks for being the one. My One. My Only One. *winks*. To make up for all the times we spoke on the phone and I refuse to reciprocrate, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!!!!.

Last but no least, I want to say thanks to my family who made all this possible. My dad who sponsor. My mother who helped me settle into Perth. My dajie who not only supported me financially at one point, also supported me morally and emotionally and my erjie who constantly talk rubbish with me on the phone. I seriously think our family is dsyfunctional, but normality would have bore me and I wouldnt want any other dsyfunctional family.

My first paper

I finally am over and done with my first paper of my final semester of my uni life. Although it wasn't a lousy paper, it was 3 hours, 180 mins, 10800seconds of non-stop writing. My right hand is broken. Came back had the most wonderful nap and went to floreat to run some errands and breathe some fresh air. I had soup and bread again for dinner but I bought rockmelon partly because Im PMSing and I am craving for sweet stuff and partly because I miss Xiaohei and he loves rockmelon... =(

Coles Saving $2.48 rockmelon

My right hand is also swollen

Sweet and tangy and juicy

My room is still so very messy

3 more weeks and Ill be home

I hope I never get a gnome.

Instant food phobia

Its 12.56pm and I just sat down to study but before I continue, I just want to express my some thoughts and feelings. For the past 2 years as an international student I think I have eaten enough instant food especially instant noodles to contribute significantly to the profit margin of this industry. I probably tried every flavour there is of Chu-qian-yi-ding. Ate 1 entire carton of IndoMee. And had instant mee and every style possible; soup, dry, fried, gravy. Coming towards the end of my student life, I won't miss the food at all. And I just want to say, I will be laying off instant food for a while as of 18th November 2004.

So I hope one day, Maggi, Chu-qian-yi-ding, IndoMee and Nissin will recognise my contribution and give me an honorary award. Or may I be allow to buy their shares and be a shareholder. For from now til 18th November, I shall continue to live with my instant-food-phobia and continue to down instant mee for I don't have much of a choice.

Here, I would also like to enter a plea to people in Singapore especially Tay Kwang Leong. PLEASE FEED ME PROPER NUTRITIOUS FOOD. It doesn't even have to be nutritious. I just want a soup base noodle that is not chicken, seafood, tom yum, curry or spicy seafood...

Hairdryer Catastrophe

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my trusty friends Nancy and Kevin. My hairdryer overworked today and temporarily stopped working for me. In panic-attack mode, I messaged Nancy online to see if they were home and they were. I quickly rush over to borrow their hairdryer and my hair is ok again! Hooray to Navin! Good to have neighbourly friends.

Good Ol' Famosa Bubble Tea with Milk

Bubble Tea

So came dinner time right and I totally had no appetite which is like WEIRD for me. I thought of going to Hungry Jacks (BK in Singapore) and thought ok why dun I just cook. I took out all my ingredients and I thought I have some fun and cook meat patties because I had pork mince that was expiring tomorrow. So i started frying my pork mince..blah blah blah. By the time I finish cook everything, I was so digusted by the amount of oil I had to use to fry the meat patties and I threw everything away! I wanted to puke just thinking of the oil.
Want I really wanted was salad but I dunno where to 'ta-bao' salad. I drove to my trusty Famosa for some good ol' bubble tea....Refreshing. Still not satisfied tho. I really want some salad with french or vinegerette dressing..... Stupid craving.

Bubble Tea at Famosa

Go there for the Samosa

Exam's coming Im so stress

I hope noone touches your ass

Bubble tea with all the pearl

England England all the earl

Bubble tea with milk's the best

It really beats all the rest!

Colonel Sanders

I really really dislike Australia's KFC. I always crave for KFC and when I am done with Australia's KFC, I am totally "tat-shiok" (not shiok enough). And I always wonder why the hell do I bother. The chips are great, the bun is good, the whipped potato is alright but the big disappointment is always the chicken. I miss Singapore!!!!!

I have been craving for junk food

It all because of my funny mood

Went to subi's KFC

My room is damn messy

Eat already fell damn sick

There no strawberries for me to pick

Colonel Sanders is no good

He has really spoilt my mood!

On a more Serious note....

I don't want to only portray a "poetic" image. So I think I wanna talk about my day as well. I have decided to CUT DOWN on my CARBOHYDRATES intake. Whoever told me that too much carbo makes you sluggish is right. I had only 1 packet of INDOMEE today and a bowl of veggie soup and I was powering through the entire afternoon, wasnt even sleepy at all!!! REDUCE CARBO....

Here, I just want to wish my sister a HAPPY ??TH BIRTHDAY!!! Created a poem for you

Happy Birthday to my dearest sister

I'm sorry I havent treated you better

Cos I have nothing for you

And nothing rhymes with you

So here's a corny poem as a present

For my inexcusable absent

I know you miss me

Your surename is wee

This poem is sucky

But you'll like it, if Im lucky

Pigging out

I felt like pigging out today

I have nothing left to say

Nuggets, french fries and some soup

I ate enough for the entire coup

Feel so full now I want to puke

Oh North Korea, please don't nuke

Guilty, upset and feel fat

I've always wanted a tabby cat

This my dinner thats all for now

Because I really feel like a sow

End of First Paper Dinner
