Happy Belated Easter everyone! It's the Easter hols this week... I didn't do much important stuff except shopping, watching movies/DVDs and getting hooked on my new PC game that darling bought for me last week. For those who have lab blocks during this easter hols, "Hey you have my consolation, hang in there.." Darling will be having his as well either next sem or his last sem, so we're not gloating over other people's misfortune right now. Then we had the Easter celebrations that came and went pretty fast. Not so much about standing and kneeling for the Stations of the Cross where it was like back in Malaysia, but we actually had people carrying the cross and walking to different places here. Easter vigil was same as last year; We had candles lighted at certains times of the Mass during different bible readings. I'm glad I still have Audrey and Liddie to go to church with me back here and I'm sure they are too! "Right? No need to walk anymore.." *winkz* Anyway I guess it was a best friend's email that prompt me to update my blog today. "Yes babes(Len), I'm missing you heaps! Your long email is very touching.. *sniff* Come back soon!" We are shoppaholic "fanatics" who share the same taste and so we get a different colour of the same blouse sometimes. Without her here, no one's been watching horror movies with me as well and worse of all, for the first time she ain't gonna sing with me for uni events. :( Yeah she might be a confusing woman at times, but no woman deserves to be lied to. Although I'm not exactly sure about certain events happening around here, I just feel that when something is over, it should be forgotten cause it ain't worth missing at all. New friends will never replace old pals/chabohs/pooh-gang just like there is only one "-mel-" and any new person with similar sounding names shouldn't use the same nick.
Alrightz, enough of the "preaching" round here. Some of the updates for the week besides attending church included going down with the current ISA committee to Caulfield for their ISO meeting, finally submitting my PR application (yippee!) and down city on Tuesday for more shopping of clothes, Crown and stocking up on the asian groceries. For the first time, we actually brought Sheali to Rock Kung, the famous Hong Kong restaurant in Glen Waverly known for it's Roast Pork and Duck. *mmmnnn yummy* That girl really lurrves her rice! :p
Some other micellaneous topics: The publication of the 2nd issue of the ISA Nexus Newsletter. Anya did a good job, what with the colour printing and stuff especially for Culture Night; though I still like the first original Nexus logo. But what to do? Sheali's laptop "couldn't handle" the Macromedia Freehand software after she took over from me, so the logo kinda got "chak-chak" as the newsletters went by. But it's all good, at least the name still stayed. *smile* Then there was darling being pissed off by having aquaintences waking him up in the morning thinking he's a Taxi Driver or some sort. He was like, "What the hell? I don't even know her!" Never piss the man when he's still in bed. : I mean he's fine with friends or his housemates asking him early before hand to pick them up or whatsoever, but absolutely not for other people who come knocking on your doors only when they need help. *quizzical* I mean, "what's going on?" (#.#) And when in city on Tuesday, we weren't exactly happy when some Public Transport officers came on the tram and book us for not validating our MET card. I mean we haven't got the chance to do so and now we are innocently gonna get a fine for something we didn't do wrong, it's not fair! Ain't gonna write the details here, too pissed about it already. *pout* So this isn't exactly a good week yeah? Although darling and I did win $23.40 in the tattslotto last Saturday...
On the last day of work, I also went round saying good bye to my colleages at the office. It wasn't easy and I really felt a tinge of sadness even though I've only known some of them like a couple of months. They were so friendly and we clicked pretty well. Some of the others include a couple of shots I took in the previous post at the NATAS Travel Fair. Some of them were saying they barely had the chance to go out have lunch or something with me, to get to know each other better and I was already leaving. Honestly, I was really having mixed feelings that last few days before coming back Melbourne and I really had the thought of maybe applying offshore PR or something instead. Plus, I absolutely miss my parents so much, especially my mum. We would go for Sat/Sun masses together in church and since I'm not around now, she has to go to church alone. *sad* :( But I made sure I listen to her and I did went for confession back here last Sat. Father asked me to pray for blessings for my family this easter and also he'll pray for me to find a job soon. More Easter ceremonies coming this week and I'm looking forward to it... Anyway, I couldn't quite describe the feeling when I first saw darling at the airport. He seemed so familiar yet so distant. And I finally understood the feeling when couples seperate for a couple of months or more in different countries and then meet again. But the familiarity soon got back fast enough as all the past memories started flooding back in the car. *contented grinz*
It felt great to be able to do our usual stuff together again. We had our long talks, hugs, and chilling out together, plus dinner with friends and even his housemates this sem, who were fine people. We dreamt of our 21 million tatts lotto together and missed it by just a number for a $30 prize... haha.. We went for movies and shopping as well, but always not forgetting to call on friends to come along as well. :) Ice Age was an absolutely funny movie. The silly squirrel still never stops at anyting to get his acorn. I shall not say too much, go watch the movie okay? Sheali reminded me to get the plushies which came with any Popcorn & Drinks combos purchased. Lucky for me, Jess and Chun Yau were not into toys, so I managed to get the whole set. Well of course apart from the fun, I went for my medical check up and x-ray as well. Getting ready all the stuff to submit my PR application. Have been praying every night things will turn out well, and so has my dear mum & dad who worries for me all the time. *muaks* Love you all loads...
Then I also finally met up with my 2 long-lost girl friends I met on the Korea trip 2 years ago. I managed to get their contacts from the company database since my old mobile phone came crashing down on me last year! And the worst thing was that I didn't even have their emails that time! So lucky they didn't change their mobile number! These girls ah, always "paiseh" to go out for dinner with them because they always offer to pay, keep saying it's their farewell treat or something. They are really such nice girls to be with and even though we don't meet up very often, there's a sense of warmth and the feeling of being welcomed when we're together. We can talk about anything under the sun. Over the 2 to 3 years, I've learned that good friends are God sent and you don't need to know friends for years before they become your good friends. Some people will just NEVER become your good friends even though you know them for a long time and treated them like one. It's like shoes that you think look good on your feet at first, then after awhile you realised that they actually give you blisters. They will always be their "threesome". And they painstakingly say they are not like that? Are they just really ignorant or just really pretencious using "You are not here in S'pore mah" as their excuse? I don't know and I don't care. That's why I couldn't even be bothered asking them if they want to meet up or not. But anyway, that's another story. ;) Cause I've found true friends that walk beside me and not make me walk behind them. :)
Anyway, this year's birthday (23 Mar) celebrations was kinda like spreaded out into different days with the meeting up of friends. It's like God knows I'll be spending my birthday without darling around this year and He sent so many friends to send me their well-wishes, SMSes, e-cards, prezzies etc. I also glad though that I could spend my birthday this year with my parents. Though I was working that day, my tour manager gave me time-off in the morning to have breakfast with them first before I went to work. Mum and My cousin-in-law bought me a White-Gold cross and Escada perfume respectively. Then I got gifts from my tour manager, tigger and kity, plus hubby as well. Thank you! Blur blur sotong of a darling, he couldn't keep his excitement again as usual and told me he had ordered flowers to be delivered to my brother's place. I was like kinda working late that night and I reached home just in time to see the delivery guy knocking on the door. Hope he didn't wait very long thought. :x *oops* ~Elizabeth Arden perfume and white lilies from darling. *muaks* Love you heaps! Thank you to my chabohs + lily as well for the e-cards and the SMSs. They really made my day too. For some reason, this year's inbox and friendster had lotsa birthday wishes! Thanks again all of you, you know who you are! *hugz*
As promised, the updates and photos mentioned. Met up with my secondary school best friends Beiwen and Sharon twice. There are usually 5 of us in the group, but the other 2 are always busy like anything and can't make it. We chatted about the usual stuff on relationships, gossips and everything under the roof including talks about when we want our so-called "BIG" day to be. For some reason, we felt much closer than we used to be even though the meetings are rare.
came up with and he asked me to get it so we can browse through it together. Needless to say, I was overjoyed that he's actually interested on wedding stuff though our future plan for the Big day is only like 3 to 4 years later. Anyway I delibrately brought the mag home to show my brother and sis-in-law to try hinting to them thats it high time they actually hold their wedding ceremony. They both did get round to saying about yah where they wanna hold it, what gown blah blah and stuff, but when it's actually gonna happen is still doubtful. Overall, the mag is pretty cool actually, lotsa pretty things to see inside. Apart from the display of gowns, banquet places, they also have skin care, make up, jewellery etc and heaps more. Anyone out there whether single or attached could get a copy because I believe every one of us women, deserves the right to dream of one day walking down the aisle with the man we love in that pretty white gown. And that dream will come true, just be patient. *wink*
