rant

woke up 5 am in the morning today.. omygawd!! class at 8 am but i need to go uni early to print some tutorial notes for that class. tot i could print at home but i lost my printer cable !! ARRGHH!!! was searching for it like crazy yesterday but to no avail. sob sob~:( will be going to harvey norman tomorrow to get a new one :( phew~

1st day of tutorial was okay lar.. made a few new friends. Susz's life is interesting~ she's 22, like me, and she's married for a year already ... to an EYGPTIAN~ :) kewl huh? i asked for her contact details and she hesitated a while when she wrote her last name ( her husband's last name). she kinda forgot. ahha. it was so hard to pronounce. elkhaligi. hhehe. she's from canberra btw. :) will be doing my group assignment with her and gem, who's 19 , living in cairns, doing Nursing. nice people .


i feel like i should take things slowly a lil bit and not think of studies + work that much cos they said tat i'm way too hardworking. yea i agree. i finished the tutorial exercises when no one did cos it was suppose to be done in the class and i kept asking questions regarding to the assignment which is due late may. =-=''


so anywayz, after class, i was suppose to go to the city get my cable.. but... i was ... lazy... cos u know.. 8 am class meaning, 6 am morning in msia. fu yoh!! my biological clock hasn't adapt properly just yet. it takes time, hehe. so went back home, and it was drizzling a lil ..signs of god wanting me to sleep even more.. hehe so i zz from 1130am till 4 pm. wtfish? =-='' such a piggy. argh.~ tomorrow i have another 8am lecture.. =-= damn.. really tak suka 8am classes !!!! :(

outing with de gurls in the city~

My internet went nuts for the past few days. I could not log in to msn, hotmail, my uni’s e-mail and virtual, facebook, basically anything that requires a password. argh! 3 days of hell. Thank god it's fixed and finally, I CAN BLOG AGAIN!! *beams* I just can’t leave my blog unattended when I have the time to blog. It’s just wrong :P


SO!

Yesterday, I pulled Sarah along to go to an event for international students in Brisbane City Hall. I read it on my uni website the other day, and was so excited bout it. The website mentioned that there’ll be loads of activities going on, such as taking pics with koalas, Australian rugby team n etc, aboriginal performances, step by step dance class, virtual golf and free bbq lunch!!

but to my dismay, there was NO SUCH THING! There wasn’t any koala!! except for koala plush toys +_+. No handsome rugby players, aii.. hehe , BORING performance, COMPLICATED dance steps, and.. worst of all.. there wasn’t any bbq lunch! THEY ONLY SERVED HOTDOGS!! OHMYGAWD!! I was so disappointed with the event, and was so regretful to bring sarah along. U can c her face looking like this -__________________-
haha.. so sorry dahleng!!



me and dahleng~


We did stayed a while, watching ppl learning how to dance. It’s cute. There were many fast learners, a few slow ones, and 2 clueless ones(like me). and that’s the reason I didn’t join the dance class. :P i’m so hopeless when it comes to dancing.



skip and turn and kick to your left , and kick to your right~


We were looking at them dancing , and suddenly sarah laughed out loud. LOL. She asked me to look at a particular gurl’s armpit… I couldn’t take a glance of her armpit....and when I did i…ROFL!!LOL!!LMAO!!LOL!! how could she not shave her underarm !! And she was wearing a sleeveless dress summore.. weird.. sarah told me she saw something black black, tot wat was that. Hahah :P very lebat lor.. haha..ya i know, we very jahat. :P


both of us were very bored in the city hall, and so we went to the city to get gelato!!! :D soo many flavours to choose from. A few months back, there was this flavour tat I wanted to try. But it was too expensive to just TRY. Guess wat flavour? It’s CHILLI CHOCOLATE! With real chilli on it. Weird heh. Well, it’s not there now. Probably it’s not selling well? :P



ooo gelati!!


btw, both of us ordered the rockmelon and biscotonio. I think. Basically it’s biscuits la.. I think with vanilla n chocolate. Nicenice I like~

RIP lydia shum aka fei fei

oh my gawd!! i didn't know!! read someone's blog bout it. couldn't believe wat i was reading. it's really shocking okay? i mean, i've been watching her on tv since i was lil and till my late teens. always liked her smile , her laughter.. :( it's just depressing. RIP lydia..

HONG KONG -- Popular entertainer Lydia Shum died Tuesday morning after a long battle with cancer. She was 62.

Known for her chubby appearance and joviality, she earned the nickname "Fei-fei" (Fatty) and "Happy Fruit" early in a career that spanned nearly half a century.

Born in Shanghai in 1945, Shum moved to Hong Kong with her family soon after, and made her debut in 1960 as a film child star for the Shaw Brothers studio. She later ventured into singing, television drama and hosting.

One of the most celebrated and beloved comediennes and actresses in the Chinese-speaking world, she appeared in 70 films in Cantonese and Mandarin, and gained wide popularity with her comedic and hosting skills for the Hong Kong television variety show "Enjoy Yourself Tonight."

In 2002, she starred in the English-language sitcom "Living with Lydia" in Singapore, which was broadcast there and also in the U.S., on AZN Television.


Shum married Hong Kong television actor-singer Adam Cheng after a decade-long courtship in 1985. In 1987, she gave birth to a daughter, Joyce Cheng. Her marriage dissolved the following year.

A testament to Shum's iconic status in the territory, Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang expressed his sadness at Shum's passing in a morning briefing. He noted that her laughter accompanied many Hong Kong people as they grew up and called Shum's fortitude in the face of illness "a demonstration of the Hong Kong spirit."

Shum has long suffered from diabetes and hypertension and was diagnosed with liver tumor in September 2006.

outing with soohui~

yay!! met up with soo hui at last!!!


both of us kept talking & talking, we couldn't keep our mouth shut. there are so many things to catch up with! i think we've not seen each other for probably more than 4 -5 years, tat's like after spm. woah.. tat's REALLY long rite? but she's still the same lor, :P still pretty and slim :P *not fat at all ah*


before meeting up with soohui, i was wandering wat language did we speak to each other when we were in secondary. i think it was mandarin... i wasn't sure so i spoke to her in english. hehe :P. i was surprised that she speaks cantonese with her bf, johnson. haha. i didn't even know that she and johnson can speak cantonese. =-='' my cantonese sux. very cha to the max. cindy! u promised to teach me cantonese this year !! :P looking forward to it :P


together, we distribute our cv everywhere, from restaurants to boutiques. i gave 20 away!! including yesterday's. really hope to get a job :( have our finger crossed. wish both of us will get a good wage job asap.


btw, we had lunch in wagamama. soo hui has never eaten there before and it was my 2nd time dining there. i liked the food there but it was quite expensive. However, since we're sharing, it's alrite la. and since we've not seen each other so long, forking out a lil more $$ wouldn't hurt. :P



this is soohui!



n this is me!!! hahah i know i know, i do not need any introductory already :P


we ordered some dish called chicken ma or is it ta? =-= ok i really suffered from short term memory loss and coincidently, soo hui also has it too! haha we're like totally blur. kept talking and when something/someone interrupted our conversation, we couldn't seem to remember wat were we talking bout a while ago. =-=. bad memory heh? haha :P



our food~




outside the window..overlooking the city~


after dinner (although it was 4pm plus oni), we went to her place and talked bout Uni, PR, future job prospects and etc. and when she told me that kell ly is coming to brisbane too, i was totally shocked! i didn't know! i had no idea.! ooo!! should have gone to her house during cny!! miss my chance to talk to her more in detail bout her coming to brissie!!! hopefully we can all stay in the same apartment next year :P can't wait for her arrival !!! :D



soo hui again, in her room, like her mushroom slippers :D



lastly, US!


so soohui, how was ur gambling session today? hehe :P

happy happy~

nono. i didn't get a job!
however, i had a great time yesterday at the carnival in my uni.
but the weather was crazy, so unpredictable. was sunny when i was in the house. it drizzled a lil when i got out and as i reached the bus stop, in the city, it started to rain cats and dogs.
5 minutes later, it stopped. less than a minute later, it drizzled again.
thank gawd that the rain subsided when we were approaching to QUT.
the carnival was rather a small one. it's sort of a function for the newbies, to get to know more bout QUT, like their student guild, library, candy shop, club & society and etc.

qut carnival~

they have so many freebies!! flyers especially..
OOO they also provide free popcorns and candy floss!!
felt stupid after buying the popcorns cos i should have remembered that brisbane only sells salted popcorns. no caramel ones. eating em felt like eating air n salt. loads of salt. geli =-=
i threw it into the bin after eating just ONE popcorn. i know i know. such a waste rite?
wanted to queue for the candy floss. but the queue was very long. i didn't have any patience that day.
it was hard to breath in the carnival( not as bad as sg wang la, of cos) so we went into the bookshop to get our textbooks. but the textbooks were way heavier that we tot. so we only bought one lab manual. very thin one :)
it started raining again when we stepped out from the bookshop. sheesh
since both of us have umbrellas, we were still keen to look around the carnival.
many had left to the nearest shelter and so there wasn't any patrons at the candy floss stall. :P

lucky lucky!

just for fun :P

and on our way back to city, it rained again. +_+ crazy i tell u! crazy
so irritating.kept opening n closing the umbrella.
got lazy in fact. didn't use the umbrella on our way to the city, although it was raining a lil bit.
lazy just .. lazy.


due to the rain, carol was lil late for work.
she works in a pearl milk tea outlet in the city.
she actually asked me to work there.. but i think the pay is very low, so i insist to try my luck in getting other jobs 1st.
and she is such a sweetie, she bought me a drink!!! with loads of pearls in it! i love pearls! calvin hates em. :P

carol bz making pearl tea

my taro milk tea~

thanx gurl loads. will consider about job after a few more days, alrite? :)

oo and after that, i went to the nearest 3 shop to get my new handphone and mobile plan. so yeap, i got myself a k800i, only paying aud29 per month for $190 credit :) good bargain isn't it.

:)

wanted to get the k850i, but i will need to pay an extra 18 dollar each month for the hp.and since i'm not working, i might as well forget it. but i really like my k800i hp. nicenice :) i like. i bought the brown one instead of the black. cos i think most ppl have the black one. rite rite? :P

my new hp!!

okay... u must be wondering..

y am i so darn free blogging almost every day. ugh!
well, cos i'm ... UNEMPLOYED!
DENG DENG DENG!
kinda upset that maccas do not need any more staffs at the moment.
so many people has left maccas. well, actually just 2. both of em were the NICEST to me.
my fave manager and burger boy, yes i call him burger boy, cos his name is so-very-the-hard-to-pronounce
matt and kelly are still working there though.
kelly remembered me.
wanted to talk more. but couldn't cos the freaky new manager was there looking.
look damn geeky.
i ordered 2 burgers. one for lunch and another for dinner.
kelly quickly gave me a free soft serve cone when the manager wasn't in sight.
and gave me a flirtatious wink. haha. such a sweetie.
she apologized though, cos she couldn't use her staff purchase for my burgers.
hehe. i really didn't mind.
i wasn't mad that i didn't get my job back.
must be the free ice cream and her wink.
her simple gesture just made my day. :)

i missed..
