Monday "no-class" also blues just some feelings and thoughts

Got back from City on Sunday night and was still in such a daze after talking to bb that I totally forgot to check my email for the past poster that I was supposed to edit and do a new one for the Winter Sale Event and Movie Night organized by the ISA this Wed. Anyway, wasn't really pleased that things were done in such a rush, I mean I can come out with a poster in 15mins, but it'll be better if info was passed to me earlier. Luckily it was settled last night after the ISA meeting. Damn disappointed that none of my stuff was sold during the Winter Sale and now I have to fret at the end of the year how to cargo more stuff back!

Finally finished the ISA newsletter yesterday and had them printed. I thought I could sleep early after 2 days of late night work, but my body seemed to have grown used to staying up late and I just couldn't. Apparently Len, kiddo and I are so used to being together that it feels kinda weird when the 3 of us just don't meet... Kiddo's so cute and funny that when you are unhappy, he just brightens up your day with his "The Nanny" impression of "Hey, what are ya doin?" and you could never get angry with him... There are so many things that happened to me over here that made me realised that if you stop expecting too much of something, it might just come round the corner. Thought I was gonna be back on foot again round here after bb left, but Len and I were joking that we were gettin pampered cause almost everywhere we went, we were being chauffered instead... Was kinda angry that someone accused Len of hanging around kiddo cause he was rich and he had a car. Aww come on, there are many other important things in a friendship aside from the material stuff. Even if kiddo didn't have a car, we'll still be the best of friends with him. Try hanging out with him and you'll know...

Anyway, I just wana say a big "THANK YOU" to my bb for going round s'pore searching for my text books and sending them over to me. Im surprised that it actually cost cheaper to buy them from s'pore and send them over than buy them here for 2 or 3 times the price... He's so sweet that for the first time my mum's already on his side asking me to cherish him and not let him go... Not surprised he gave me that "See I told you your mum likes me" impression. Was also touched that he actually stayed up with at night helping me find content and info for the ISA newsletter, "Wouldn't have done it without you, thanks again, bb".... =) So glad that the response of it was not too bad and mr president actually asked me to photocopy more of them to put in the student union and the main reception...

Saloon 1st week culture and City "Clubbin" Trip.

Im just getting so lazy updating my blog these days that sometimes when I do login and wana write something, I have to take a moment to recap what the hell I did for the last few days... Anyway, last thursday was the 1st week of uni and the culture for most students to turn up at Saloon at night. Was actually thinkin about whether to go or not but eventually turn up with len and kiddo anyway. As usual, familiar sights were caught everywhere and of course some new faces. Danced and drank a little as usual, but it was really packed thus we left around 1.30am plus. Got home and chatted with bb till I slept bout 5am... It was expected then that I didn't turn up for 9am tutorial the next day...

Went down to city on friday cause len and I wanted to try out clubbin in the discos there, but the events that followed turned out that it was just not our weekend... Kiddo was on guest list with his friend, but the Q was longer than expected and we went late, thus with the 1 1/2 hr line-up at AMBER, we eventually got so pissed off and left cause they announced it was full house. Darn, my throat was getting worse, so I skipped the drinking session in the room while the 3 of them got kinda high and did some hilarious stuff.. =) Sat afternoon was having lunch at Chapel Street and also did some window shopping because almost everything there was way to expensive to buy and it was really a good thing I didn't set eyes on anything. Evening was going to the Uniting Church at Glen Waverly cause Kiddo wanted us to try out the church he used to go to when he was studying high school last time. It was a nice and lively experience, but I still prefer the old and traditional ceremony in my catholic church though...

Sat night was supposed to be another try at clubbin and we just managed to get into the front door in NEXT BLUE at Crown when we had to turn out again cause kiddo's attire wasn't accepted by the bouncers there. Well, so much for the "clubbin" nights which we thought we learnt a lesson and probably try some other time maybe... Was supposed to meet my cousin Stef on Sun for lunch but the timing and venue weren't suitable so we decide to cancel it. Went shopping at Chadstone and finally managed to get the presents for my bb's birthday, so now I can stop fretting about what to get for him... (,")

1st week of sch, sickness down & welcome Ralph!

Time really flies fast sometimes and in some sense it's a good thing too, cause the countdown to be able to see my bb again will be very soon. Anyway, the first week of sch is almost over and this semester's timetable is really crap with morning classes of 9am everyday except mon and wed when Im off. Well, it doesn't really make a difference cause I'll be nodding my head dozing off as usual during lectures. But it was real bad luck to get sore throat and fever on the 1st week of sch and boy am I glad Im feeling better already else how can I survive the clubbing from tonight onwards till sat! 1st week of sch and the Saloon should be kinda packed then with the culture of everyone going... Then Len and I will be going down Melbourne city for further clubbin with my kiddo bro longy and his friends on fri and sat and also to do some shopping and stuff cause I wana get my bb's birthday present too...

Well, the main attraction today is to welcome Ralph or Ralfi as we call him -> len and I's guinea pig. We got him from Midvalley and he was a ruffled one i.e. with long fur. He's sooo cute, apparently we fell in love with guinea pigs ever since we saw Samantha's one and we followed her and bought a beanie for him as well... Descriptions are not enough, so take a look at his pictures then... 


 

ISA Meeting, Cathechism Class and some thoughts...

Just got back from Cathechism class which I almost forgot today apart from rushing for the ISA meeting just now which I almost forgot too earlier in the evening. Guess after chatting on icq with my bb, I just drifted off into my dreamworld. Anyway the ISA meeting stretched for quite some time but it was good we did managed to settle most of the important issues. Don't know what got over me just now during the meeting that when it was my turn to update matters, my whole face just turned red as I tried to remember what I was supposed to say that I guessed the excused that I was hot just didn't quite convince my other committee members... And worst still, the cap I was wearing revealed my red ear too. But lucky, it sort of went off in awhile and it was already 7.24pm when I looked at my watch and realised Helen, my church sponser was waiting at the sports centre car park to pick me up for cathechism class... Said a quick goodbye and as soon as I was out the door, I ran all the way from the North Units to the carpark, felt really bad for making Helen wait for some time...

Anyway, just some penny for my thoughts during the Cathechism class was that I felt really kinda sad to hear from one of the ladies at the catholic church that in the past lots of Monash students went there for Sunday service. Now that the Chaplin has changed in my sch and she's an anglican, she seemed to have diverted all the students to the Anglican church instead. Not to say that I have any bad feelings about the anglican church cause after all we all believe in Jesus, but it's just that it'll really be great if there were more of us going to the catholic church as well beside only me and Tigger. Well, another thing I was pondering about during class was why god had sent me bb when I thought that all was gone for my lovelife. The ironic part was that he doesn't believe in god... Well, I don't intend to force him to change his perception, but who knows he might just change it himself one fine day...

Anyway, my kiddo bro is here to chill out again with len and my god he could really eat as he asked me to cook for him 3 packets of indo mee! He had been drinkin alot and I reckon the mee would help him cool down just abit. Hyahz, my friend just asked me why I was looking so gloomy yesterday when he came over for dinner with my housemates. I told him I was sick and he said I should have told him earlier then he could have cooked for me... Next time I know, when Im sick I'll have free dinner already.. haha.. ;) Gotta go nw, my little kiddo bro and len are shouting for me to go out to the living room already...

Finally going to Gym, Gettin a long-awaited letter & just something happy to blog about...

Suddenly feel the need to write down some happy things thus here I am again... Had my beauty sleep of 8 hours last night finally and woke up at 1pm. Met the 3 chabohs and went to the gym with them at about 3pm. Was really happy when my long-awaited letter had finally arrived today as Hannah teasingly passed it to me... No prizes for guessing who was it from as the stamp was from s'pore. Anyway, before I even got the letter, my bb couldn't keep it any longer and sort of blurted out some of the stuff when we chatted last night. Though we had a little misunderstanding during the chat last night, I do have more faith in him cause I know he's trying very hard to let me know that he loves me very much...
 
The letter was a sweet one though it had some "not-so-nice" stuff inside, but I know he just wanted me to know his feelings. Now then I realised he felt so insecure about me too... "Oh my god, guess you are caught in my net and stucked with me for life already I hope, bb"... We both had bad experiences in past relationships and really hope to work hard and make this one work this time, and I know we will right bb? Forgive me on being so mushy here, but I know my bb will read this, so I want the whole world to know: "I love u as much as you love me too and it just grows stronger everyday just as you do for me ok?" Okay stop being so mushy, enough I know before people can't stand it anymore.. haha... ;)
 
Anyway, life just gets better for me everyday as I feel really happy now; I have doting parents, the bestest friends here(u know who u all are) and my bb who loves me so much that he just can't wait for me to go back, what more can I ask for? I used to have problems with friends and especially relationships in the past during sec sch or poly, but I guess I have grown up and learn to perceive things in a different way and since I did now, I really feel lucky and never did regretted coming over moo-moo land and getting to know the great people I know now and will never lose touch with forever... The only things problems I might have are probably with being stress with school work, assignments and stuff but awww, they will eventually go away... Oh and yah, "Diet, Diet, Diet, perservere to slim down more before SRA ball and keep it that way!" which I don't really believe I can do it anyway... shucks... =
 
Darn, hate getting kept in suspense but longy just msgged just now saying that he got len and I something not so great but for us cause he owed us. We were hoping it wasn't the guinea pig cause we are getting it this thursday. Wondering what it is actually but we'll know when we pop over their place tonight for a chat... so meanwhile be kept in suspense first... Hyahz, gotta go print my notes and timetable and shit I have all 9am classes in tues, thurs and fris. Spoil my thurs "Saloon night"... But who cares, len and I were saying we'll probably still go anwyay.. haha..

S2 Orientation, busying with fun & sending mum off @ airport.

The last week of holidays were spent helping out with the semester 2 orientations, doing the draft for the coming ISA newsletter and enjoying the last of the holidays with shopping and hanging out with new friends... Though this semester's intake was only about 20 plus students, it probably was a good thing cause everyone seem of like bonded closer together. The new students that Len and I interact with eventually became a bunch of friends we could hang out with now and they really are a cute and funny lot. (with 1 or 2 annoying ones though). Oh, the ISA dinner was almost ruined by the Student Union staff, but we managed to salvage the situation luckily by bringing the students to Chen's Restaurant in Traralgon. I felt so guilty as usual cause I just couldn't resist more chocolate cake even though I already shared one with Evon!
 
Picked Sheali and Joewiz from Morwell on friday and by coincidence a new china girl student that I met that day in school was also on the same train as them. She was embarressed about getting a ride from me, but I told her it was no problem... Those 2 chabohs bought a real big and sweet pink flower for len... Night was a dinner treat I gave my mum and Len at Larpocheta in Traralgon. We had wanted to go to Imis ->the cafe tigger celebrated her birthday, but it was booked and people were having a function or something. Too bad Tigger couldn't come along for the dinner cause she was busy with her sushi's =)
 
My mum just went back on Saturday and so I drove her down to airport with Lenore and later met the others in Melbourne central. "Longy" as we call one of them in the bunch drove his own car down with us and back to moo-moo land at night too. Len and I fell in love with identical gowns we saw in a shop near Myers and we each bought a different colour. The whole other time shopping, the only thing on my mind was what to get for my bb. Think of him everyday and just can't wait to get back sg to see him again. Guess both of us get kinda "too" love sick sometimes, yeah bb? ;p Darn, I gotta stop cramming everything into one entry; So sick that school is starting again, but the best thing that spurs on the new semester is the meeting of the new bunch of friends with len and we are sure it'll turn out pretty well with them... =)  Sometimes, I couldn't help but think about how fortunate I am with a bunch of good friends here and knowing my bb loves me so much even though we are so far apart at the moment... Oops, ill stop before I go on being too mushy... (",)

Melbourne Vacation, Picking up Len & Coming Orientation...

The last few days were tiring but kind of enjoyable with my having a kind of second holiday with my mum in Melbourne City. My ex's friend called me last wednesday night telling me about how bad my ex is doing now and how much he hoped we could be together again. But I knew in my heart there is only one person now and will always be so I told his friend that it was impossible for us to patch and that he(my ex) should learn to take care of himself, plan his future even though Im not around around to encourage and support him anymore...

My mum and I stayed in a Toads Hall Hotel which was kind of like a backpackers inn. We took a double room and the place was not too bad and right in the heart of the city too. We went shopping in Vic Market, Melbourne Central and tried our luck with the pokies machine in Crown Casino at night cause there was nothing to do after the shops closed early. I wasn't really in the mood for shopping and most of the things I look out for are special and meaningful stuff to get for my "BB"... Though he's gone back s'pore for only about a week, it already seems like a month...

Was rather pissed off on Sat at the airport to pick Len cause I had previously placed a booking with Hertz and it was only there that they told me they don't rent cars to people under 25yrs. They said different branches had different rules and Budget was freaking expensive about AUD260 for a day cause I was returning the car at the Traralgon branch. No choice but to rent from Avis though it was rather expensive too ->AUD180+... Darn, had I known it'll be this ex, I would rather have paid AUD200 plus to rent the car from Traralgon for 3 days instead; at least it's more worth it...

Shucks, orientation is starting in a few hours time and Len and I made friends with a new chinese girl from KL Sunway Campus. She was glad that we made her feel at welcome and tried our best to help her in anything she needed. Here I am bloggin when Im supposed to be doing my ISA newsletter. Shit, I better go continue now... ('_')

Horse Riding, Cherishing our precious time left, Temporary Good Bye?

Last friday I went for a Horse riding trip organized by the Monash Intl'. The trip was supposed to be a 1 1/2 hr one which turned out to be 2 hours cause the drive lost her way and it a long and tiring trip all the way to the outskirts of Bairnsdale. However, the horse riding was an enjoyable one even though my hands and groins hurt so much the next day. It was really my first time really trying to control a horse all by myself and I finally realised it isn't so nice after all with all the bouncing and stuff...

Anyway the last few days were spent treasuring time with someone cause he was going back to s'pore on the 5th. I realised now his feelings has deepen and he seem more serious than me about continuing our relationship end year when I go back s'pore. I can't help but feel a little confused about the change cause he seemed so unsure about us in the first place. "Im sorry if you read this baby... Cause I still need time to completely have faith in you..." He even had the crazy idea of asking me to fly back with him to s'pore for 2 weeks before school starts and I really did had the sudden urge to go with his idea, but then we realised it was really not worth wasting the money... Just a little note to people out there, "Go all out to show the person how much you love him/her, it would somehow touched his/her heart. One fine day you'll be surprised at how a person could fall in love with you just cause of the little things you did for him/her. Well at least it did, for me... ;)

Yesterday was his flight back s'pore. We spent the last night before he went back kind of romantically somewhere watching movies and talking alot... (Sorry no further details about that!) Haha, his friends caused a little panic cause while he had to catch his 4pm flight, we still stopped at Crown at 2pm for the buffet and was joking that he could jolly well stay on here and no need to go back cause the plane will fly away and not wait for him... =) Anyway he did go back and it wasn't untill he called at night to say he had safely reached home that I felt the sudden emptiness and kinda miss him already... Aww, this shall be the test of time in our relationship then... (-.-)

Sydney trip (Contd... Day 2 and 3)

Back to my Sydney Trip - My mum and I took a train from the Kogarah Station near my aunty's house to Sydney central. Upon reaching Circular Quay, I couldn't help but started taking photos of the lovely views of the Sydney Bridge and Opera House upon alighting from the train which was directly facing the Sydney Harbour. The first thing that attracted us was the Harbour Cruise which lasted an hour, bringing us round the nearby coast and telling us the history of Sydney Harbour. Sydney's temperature was definitely warmer than Melbourne but the it was rather chilly during the cruise because of the strong sea breeze...

Next stop was to the Sydney tower and taking the Sky tour. The 360 degree views from the tower provided a magnificent view of the whole of Sydney with telescopes zooming in on famous landmarks and places. The Sky tour was a little bit more for kids though with the virtual reality movies and stuff. As the sky was already turning dark when we got out, my mum and I just walk the streets of the central and shop around as we headed back towards the train station. Feeling that the day past too fast and I wouldn't have time to see enough if I didn't plan, the night was thus spent planning the whole of next day's itinerary... The first thing was get up early @ 8am!

As usual we took the train down to Circular and the first place of attraction was to "The Rocks" - a row of uniquely designed shophouses of clothings and food. Then we went on to have a closer view of the Opera House, Botanical Gardens, St. Mary's Cathedral, Hay Market, Market City and Star Casino. Lunch was at Hard Rock Cafe and of course buying of hard rock t-shirts. Glad the "Regular Rocker" card gave a 10% discount which was not too bad... Managed to finish all that I had wanted to see, but still missed out on a few places and shopping especially. Definitely would want to go visit Sydney again if there's a chance at the end of the year...

Sydney Trip and clearing up a rather "BIG" misunderstanding

Just got back from my Sydney Trip about 2 hours ago and boy was I tired with all the travelling and stuff. Someone came over to find me a little earlier than the said time and I was happily interrupted during dinner to finally be able to see him and give him a big hug! No prizes for guessing who that was. Anyway one of the first topic we talked was about the SMS argument I had with his friend about the car stuff. He somehow asked me to ignore the whole matter and let him settle it. But I didn't heed his advice and called up for a chat instead because the whole thing had been bugging me throughout the whole Sydney Trip... "Sorry bout doing that though..."

Anyway, guess I was wrong about his friends regarding the car stuff and owe one of them an apology(u know who u are). Oh bother, what a silly thing to have bad blood just because of a moving metal thing! But it was still a matter of misunderstanding which caused me to think otherwise that time and made me demanded something which I actually didn't have much right to. Had cleared up things with the car owners and was glad that she felt it wasn't my fault cause I had been withholded some truth. I'm not gonna explain too much here anymore cause I was too naived in the past thinking only my close friends read my blog; But actually news travels too fast around this little campus... And this bloody website really landed me in loads of trouble too many times, so next time - NO MORE CONFIDENTIAL STUFF... (*-*)

Back to some happy stuff during my Sydney trip. Reached Sydney about 12.15am on Tuesday and met my uncle and auntie who had lived in Sydney most of their lives. Had lunch at a yacht sailing club with them and evening was spent shopping in the Westfield shopping centre. Couldn't go down to Sydney Central that day cause it'll be too late by then as my relative's house weren't really close to the city... (to be contd..)
