Love is Patient, Love is Kind

YEAH the day arrived when Jet proposed. He hired a scooter for the whole day. I was working in the morning and after work he came to my house to pick me up. Woo hoo, coz I always picked him up. Then we went around the city on the scooter, to Kings park, subiaco (met up with chi yenn for lunch and chit chat), South Perth, drive through McDs. It was soooo fun, coz to him I got to HUG him the whole afternoon. But to me, I felt sooo secure coz I had to trust him on the scooter :)

After the joy ride, he fetched me home, I got dressed and picked him up to have dinner at Frasers @ Kings Park. At the restaurant there was a pot of flowers and wondered, WOW, the restaurant have nice flowers on the tables. So I checked the other tables but no flowers on those tables and was surprised that they were for me. Jet delivered the flowers to the restaurant early in the morning. After dinner, walked around Kings Park and went to a secluded area where Jet wanted to propose but someone came and Jet shy, so didn't propose there. I wanted to go home coz I was tired and it was late. But Jet took me to the DNA tower at Kings park instead. I was saying, 'Why go there again?' coz we went there in the morning. But Jet said, 'Its different up there compared to the morning.' So we went up and no one was up there. Then I looked around and said 'Ok, let's go home. So took 2 steps and Jet said "STOP! I want to ask you something."Then i stopped and with my innocent looking eyes I said, "Yesssss.... what u wanna ask?" Then Jet shouted under the stars, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" I took a picture of him kneeling and he gave me the ring.

It was soo dark I couldn't see the ring, but felt it and thought to myself, 'Is this the ring I told him I wanted?' He needs to give me the right ring before I say yes rite? Hehehe... I said Yes. Anyway, the ring is better then what I asked for. Then he made a speech and I felt I was in cloud nine. I'm sooo blessed to be loved by Jethro. After that we went home. Before this, I told Jet my ideal proposal was to go on a hot air balloon and he propose at sunset. The DNA tower was the substitute to the hot air balloon. :p When we got to his apartment, I got out of the car and I accidentally dropped his mobile phone into the drain. He didn't scold or got mad at me... he couldn't, coz I'm his wife to be. :p He's so relieved all this was finally over.

Thank You Lord for everything!

Bus from Sydney to Adelaide 26/12

2007-07-31T21:21:00.000+08:00

We took the bus from sydney to adelaide, a 23 hours bus ride. Chi yenn didn't enjoy it coz there was an Indian gal on the bus and most of the time she was talking loudly on the phone or playing indian music on the phone with the loudspeaker. So Chi yenn was really annoyed at her. As for me.... i slept through coz I'm a PIG.

SYDNEY! 15/12-26/12

2007-07-31T21:15:00.000+08:00

SYDNEY!!! We stayed at Florence and Brent's place. They were a real blessing to us. Took us around shopping, eating, hillsongs, and sight-seeing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! How did i repay them for their kindness? Introduce them to CHI YEN!!! :) It was the first time brent met Chi yenn. She showered him with lots of laughter, but lots of anger too... his friends never saw him angry before, but during this trip, Chi yenn brought out the anger and frustration in him. You'll find out later.

They organized a christmas party at their house and flo cooked turkey, roast pork. YUmmmy!! Played pictionary and exchanged gifts.

2007-07-31T21:07:00.000+08:00

Visited Hillsong church at Castle Hill, the place I used to live when i was 5. My family also went to Hillsongs when it just started. Was looking at a published book of the early years of Hillsong church and i saw a group picture of the ppl in church that time and could pick out norman, my mom, dad and me in the picture. Ppl didn't believe it but it was soo us. Anyway, we went fo the Christmas play which was awesome. It was a musical, the acting, music and voices were amazing! They even had farm animals in the play too.

The delicious food we had in sydney, HUGE plate of spare ribs, dim sum, pancakes, SEAFOOD, ice cream, korean, vietnamese, char kuey teow, English tea, lobster.... yUmmmmMMmy

The Taronga Zoo... liked I promised Chi yenn i would go with her. I didn't take much pictures of the animals, so i took pictures of chi yenn as the 'animal' instead. U can see chi yenn in the middle 2 pictures of me feeding her. :P

sydney continuation

2007-07-31T20:59:00.000+08:00

We went to the blue mountains for a 2 days, 1 night trip. The wrong day to sight see the blue mountains. The day we arrived was the day the whole place fogged up. We could barely see the road, let alone the person in front of us. We visited the 3 sisters but couldn't see anything. The next day was sunny and clear. THANK GOD. We went to the caves and visited one cave only. Should have visited more.

AH.... the famous George St.... not famous among sydney ppl, but famous among chi, me, flo and brent. The day CHI YENN got LOST! what happened? Well..... where should i start? As most of you would know by now, chi yenn LOVES to take pictures... not of herself but of nature, food, and random stuff (like deflated balloon in lifts). So in the heart of sydney there was a REAL christmas tree and chi yenn wanted to take a picture of it. We were driving, going to an Irish pub along George Street, at the rocks. Since the beginning of the day, all of us planned our day, talked loudly knew wat were were doing, and where we were going. But CHI YENN.... was day dreaming the whole day and didn't listen to the plan. So we were driving along george st and stopped at the traffic lights along george and martin st. Then Brent said...'OH... that's the real christmas tree on martin st, just on your right.' Chi yenn was soooooo excited, she asked brent to park the car in the middle of the main road which had NO STOPPING signs, so she could take a picture. BUT... as chi yenn haven't drive before in Aust wouldn't know the law of the road that well. She does know but when she's in the zone...nothing matters as long as she gets that picture, anything goes (even breaking the law). So Florence suggested, y don't you go and take the picture and walk straight (which is along george street to meet us at the pub). CHI YENN wasn't looking at her hands of what straight is, she thought walk straight along martin street so we would u-turn and meet her the other side. So chi yenn was so excited she jumped out of the car without her bag (so NO mobile and money) to take her picture. As she was jumping out of the car, i was shouting at her 'HEY!! YOUR BAG. You forgot your bag!!' But she didn't listen to me. So we thought she know that she had to walk straight along george st. So were that worried. We parked the car and i took her phone with me coz we thought if she was smart she would call her mobile to know where we were. We arrived at the pub, ordered and i walked half way along george street to wait for her. Waited 15 min and thought to myself, she should be here already but she didn't arrive. so walked back to the pub and all of us were worried. The food arrived and we ate. I was still waiting to hear the phone ring but nothing. After that we waited at george st and no sign of her. we were very worried by now coz it was dark and who knows wat might happen. Then brent decided to walk to the tree and me and flo go back to the car and drive to the tree. Then at the car, i got a call on my phone from CHI YENN's MOTHER!! Saying, chi asked for my number and she's lost! PLs take care of each other. ARGGHh..... like got scolding from her mother.. wasn't a scold but contents like one. so i got her phone out and there was a miss call. GUESS WAT?? CHI YENN puts her phone on SILENT!!!! so that's y no ring from her mobile. Who puts their phone on silent? for the guys its ok coz u can feel it vibrate in ur pants, but for gals in their handbags, its not easy to feel the vibration. Then chi called and we found her, she was at the hotel at martin place. when we got her, ALL of us were scolding her. BRENT was FURIOUS!!! Chi yenn said, first rule in boy/gal scout if u got lost, stay at the place when u were last seen. Me, flo and brent didn't know that and plus brent went to the tree but she wasn't there, she was at the hotel by the tree. So wat chi yenn learnt that day? To ON your ring tone (which she still hasn't leant since today), LISTEN to instructions, and NEVER leave without your bag (which has your money and mobile). during those house of being lost, chi was finding it hard to get money to call her phone. so she had to reverse call back to kl to get my mobile number. Well.... I still love chi yenn despite the headaches and stress i got worrying bout her. :)

We went on the jet ski along darling harbour. that was soooo cool, adrenalin rush! it was drizzling that day too. :)

Back to the road trip. Brisbane 5/12-15/12/2006

2007-04-28T15:15:00.000+08:00

Had the best time in Brisbane. I really enjoyed my time in brisbane, staying with my long, closest, best friend, Shaz. Thank you for ur hospitality, for taking us out when u had uni and assignments to do, for tahaning my whines and babyness, for cooking curry chicken and making us feel at home, for letting us bunk at ur place, for ur joyfulness and for being U. Ur the best!!

People we met in Brisbane are amazing. Everyone was sooo welcoming and friendly. Would never forget the experience.

Met the gal on the top left during cell group. The next day she and chi yenn made an appointment to go out for dinner. She brought her friend and we had a great dinner. After that they took us to this mountain top to see the whole of Brisbane, something like Kings park. They were amazing. We just met them and they welcomed us with open arms. Thank YOU! Its just soo amazing but during the whole trip God was always there protecting us, he brought friends to take us around and showed us his beautiful creation.

SUNSHINE COAST

Ah ma being ah ma, entertained herself during the bus ride to sunshine coast. The bus driver said everyone had to wear their seat belt and Ah ma strapped her ginger bread man. During the trip he came loose and as a consequence ah ma had to torture it. She's soooo cruel. She ate his left leg first, then his right hand, after that both the remaining hands and feet, then his body and lastly his head. MAY U REST IN PEACE.

I wanna retire in sunshine coast. The beach was beautiful - pure paradise. We checked into the backpackers and guess wat? Ah ma feel in 'love' with the front counter.. HUBA HUBA.... but i do admit he's cute, buff with glasses. So guess wat ... AH MA was flirting with HIM.. HAHAHAHAHAHA... soooo cute. well.. ah ma said she wasn't flirting, she was being friendly. Uh huh... Wanna know how it went? Well.. we were the first in line to get checked it and behind us were a number of people. So you wanna be considerate and quickly check in rite... but not for ah ma. The guy asked us where we were from, I wanted to answer from Malaysia but ah ma answered him before I could say anything. She asked him, 'Where you think we're from?' I'm like thinking AH MAAAAAA... ppl behind wanna check in lah.. just answer his question. So the guy said, 'You guys sound like ur from Canada.' Ah ma laughed, 'Really, do we really sound like Canadian?' ah ma said. They guy smiled and Ah Ma smiled back. Then we finally got our keys. The whole day AH ma was sooo nice. Think she was daydreaming bout her cutie the whole day. HAHA... Well... we had a good time, we went kayaking the whole afternoon. I enjoyed that time coz we laughed our brain out and sunbathed after that. The next day we checked out and I think ah ma was soo sad coz she had to leave her hunk behind..hehehe... we went cycling around the town, and saw this open market. we checked it out and a stall sold sambal chilli... YUMmm.. we each bought a bottle. After that had lunch and walked by the beach and ah ma saw another cute guy and took a picture of him from afar. U can see in the pictures a guy talking on the phone. Then we went to underwater world.

Chi yenn wanted to go to the Australian Zoo, but she also wanted to go to the Taronga Zoo in sydney. So I told her, I don't like going to zoos coz u've seen them once, you've seen them all for a till you die. But since I'm sooo nice I told her i'll accompany her to only one zoo. So since i thought sydney zoo was good i opted for that. So the next day chi yenn went to the zoo herself. Thank GOd i didn't go coz she said lizard roamed around on the pathway and I hate lizards, hate any kind of reptiles.

GOLD COAST

We only had time for one world, so we opted for movie world. Isn't very nice but alrite. I didn't dare go on the rollercoaster but only dared to go on the small ones. Oh Oh.... another embarrassing AH ma story. On our trip back to brisbane, we just go onto the bus and before getting onto the bus, me and shaz went to the toilet coz it was the smartest thing to do before u go on a long trip. AH ma on the other hand didn't do that. Once we got on the bus and 5 min later, ah ma said she desperately had to do to the toilet. me and shaz wanted to strangle her. We told her to tell the bus driver to stop at some place for her to go to the loo. But ah ma being herself, said, 'No... wat if he gets angry with me. I dun want him to scold me.' THen we told her, 'then u gotto hold it for 2 hours, u can a not?' SHe said she could. 10 min down the road she said she can't and we kept bugging her to tell the bus driver to stop and told her he would understand. But being her stubborn self she didn't say a thing. I think the bus driver heard us and he stopped at a place. Chi thought he was gonna pick someone up, so we told her now or never. She then went up to him and ask, "Will u be long?" I'm like WAT??? What if he says No, then she won't go toilet? The sensible thing is to ask him to stop awhile while she goes to the toilet. Then the bus guy said, 'u wanna go toilet rite? its over there'. Then ah ma smiled and ran to the toilet. While she was in the toilet, the bus guy teased her, "will i be long".. hehehe.... AH MA.. AH MA... AH MA... wat to do with u?

2007-04-23T22:04:00.000+08:00

At Goldcoast, Ah ma met her KL friend. This is her daughter, Arianna. SOOO cute.

So many laughters, stories, happiness, and joy we had together. will cherish them. HUGS and KISSES

The car we drove around in Tasmania, we call her Betsy. We went only to Hobart and Launceston.

I was in charge of driving and Ah ma in charge of the map, which she didn't do a very good job coz she got us LOST!
Yum Yum... Chocolate!

Port Arthur, convict jail

The many bridges we passed by. Can you see Ah ma feeding the ducks?

The LOST trail! Was supposed to be a 4 hours drive but ended up taking us around 6-7 hours. ALL because of AH MA. Thank God I stopped the car and took the map from her. DO NOT trust AH MA with a map. :) Well, to be nice..... she's good sometimes with directions but MOST of the times DO NOT take her advice.
At Launceston, the Cataract Gorge. Was in Launceston for a night and half a day.
Mt Wellington overseeing Hobart.
Back to Hobart after driving to Port Arthur and Launceston. The many bags we had to carry up 3 flights of stairs.
The last day at the backpackers we met a gal from Malaysia, Joey. She was travelling alone around Tasmania. SOOOO brave.

Here’s big news for all,
Just for your ears and eyes.
A birthday bash for our Chi Yenn
And hey--- it’s a surprise on her 21st year

It started at midnight on the 30th
Where 14 of us went to give her a creamy present.
We stood outside ringing her bell till after 3 times she came out.
We sang the happy birthday song and after she blew the candle,
Gavin was the first to give her her present.
She loved it I believe. :) So we continued to shower her with more creamy presents.

Later we went to Oriels to chat, asked her questions and she did a dare.
We got her a strawberry cocktail and she flared.
Her dare was to get the bartender's personal mobile phone number.
She did the dare but didn't get his number. oh what a bummer.

At night we took her to Santa Fe for dinner.
25 of us turned up coz she's our winner.
We ate and chat and had a great time with her.
Happy 21st Chi Yenn !

"Happy Birthday" means much more
Than have a happy day.
Within these words lie lots of things
I never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I'm proud of you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

Your such a sweetheart, truly,
Fun with you never ends
We celebrate your lovely life
For me your just pure joy.

One day, God created the dog and said,
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said:
"That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
So God agreed.

On the next day, God created the monkey and said:
"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life
span."
The monkey said:
"Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long
time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
Again, God agreed.

On the next day, God created the cow and said:
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves
and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said:
"That's kind of a tough life. You want me to live for
sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed.

Then on the next day, God created man and said:
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But man said:
"Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back,
the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And f or the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

Just got back from 4 days of camp. AWESOME camp, coz my group won for Iron chef, Amazing race and the overall games. YEAH! Sherlz was the BEST leader!!! GOOOOo Sherlene!! :) Had a great time bonding with ppl and those that I don't know well. Also had confirmation from God about my plans for next year. So that's GOOD.

2006-07-11T20:31:00.001+08:00

'Guess what?' i asked Jet....
'You got D for both of ur units' he said.
*shocked* 'How u know? You can read my mind??
'Nope, God told me' Jet said.
'Really?? Really? U sure? When? How? Huh? Huh??' was feeling so lost and shocked. 'When He told you?'
'Friday' said Jet.
WOW, he knew my results before me. 'But why didn't u tell me?'
'Waited for you to find out yourself.' Jet said.

YES.... i'm sooooooo estatic!! 2 Ds this semester... all i was hoping for is to just pass this year...I dun plan to get first class or second class honours, just pass can do. But i really thank the Lord. I'm speechless... no words can express my gratefulness and thankfulness to God and to everyone who prayed for me, especially Jet and parents (who prayed a total of 4 hours - 2 hours during my first paper and the other 2 in the last paper). Thank you seems so little to say when the Lord and those around me has blessed my life in such great ways. With ALL my heart, THANK YOU!!!!

2006-06-11T17:39:00.000+08:00

It hasn't been a smooth sailing year... but a memorable one and a year i wouldn't wanna go through it again.

Yesterday i finished my first exam, i had a pool of 15 questions before the exam and we had to prepare and memorise all 15 coz only 4 came out and we had to do all 4. the day before exam i looked like a ghost, hardly ate, or made conversations, hair a mess, face pail as anything. The day on my exam guess what happened? I had cooked breakfast, by Linah, Pancakes, milo and fruits! WOW!!like WOW!!, my mom doesn't even cook breakfast for me, if she does she just makes toast. I was soooo touched. The exam was alright, managed to answer 3 out of the 4 questions but the last one was short but managed to answer. When i got back home, went online to check my assignment mark. I had a heart attack when i saw the number 7. Just 7 and it said its 30% of my overall mark. 7 out of 100? 10? 30? I was so down that i just wanted to give up coz i thought i failed my assignment. After failing one unit in second year, i don't wanna repeat it again. Today, at church i looked so depressed that no one would dare to talk to me. Played the synthesizer and cried during worship. Not because of my assignment, but other things too. Felt the Lord's presence, felt that eventhough it might seems its over, or i'm not doing well, or i'm going through this year alone, i should always hold on to my promise wit the Lord, that I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH HONOURS. Guess wat? my assignment was out of 10. YEAH!!!! i'm so relieved and so over the moon.

I just wanna thank all of you for your support throughout this year so far. It wasn't smooth, had PMS every minute of the DAY, worries, anxieties how my thesis coming along, my questionnaires, whether i'll pass this year. Thanks for your help, e.g. call a dictionary, or call a help, prayers, hugs. It wasn't easy but without you guys, I wouldn't be in one piece, and without the Lord, i definately wouldn't make it this far. Hold on to your promise the Lord gave to you and believe in yourself. I really need to learn to believe in myself coz never in a millions years did i think i would do honours, but i'm here not with my own strength, but with the Lords and He put me here coz he believes in me and gives me the BEST. :)

2006-05-15T23:23:00.000+08:00

Happy 21st Birthday.... ur officially an 'aunty' now. :) I remember u back in 1999, with ur short hair and ur blue tinted glasses. You were the first in church who make me feel at home. Thanks for being U, life isn't as crazy and fun without u.

Happy 22nd birthday Wei Yi!!!! Well... this picture was taken last year..... didn't bring my camera for this year's bday. I hope u enjoyed ur birthday dinner after all the stress, frustration, decision makings u had to go through before the date. Looking back, we weren't close in the beginning when u first came to Pert.

I enjoy ur company and am blessed to call u friend. Thank you for being u and for ur care, love, honesty, wittyness, wisdom, smiles, and joy.

Welcome to my santuary. This is my Honours lab... where i do my research.. print my journals... spend my hours surrounded by 4 walls with NO window....depressing. One can't live without food... got it stocked up whenever i need something for my tummy. Coffee and sweets to keep me awake. Come visit me... at the clinical lab near the biology library (its those white houses next to the biology library parking space). Not there everyday though..

'In my darkest hour silence spoke louder than words
I am lost in a floating dreamscape
I see my face behing a mask
with knowing steps I am lured closer
reflection strips my guise
In the heart of darkness
I see a light
I hear my voice and I am found'
- The mask Venezia

I'm so happy I got to spend this day with you.

2006-02-21T00:09:00.000+08:00

No more stress, no more assignments, no more exams, no more late nights and expressos. The day finally came for Jethro to graduate. Sacrificing his friends and family back in Malaysia, entering into a land unknown to him, I thank you for your sacrifice. It was the best 4 years of my life with you studying here in Perth. We've had out ups and downs during the 4 years, with me screaming in your ears to study, but it all paid of that day :) I pray that you will be successful in everything that you put your heart into. May u be a beacon to wherever God leads you.

We went to Victoria Station at Burswood for dinner... had entree (food plater), 2 mains (salmon and lamb rank), 2 drinks (kilkenny and a cocktail which was very very yum) and dessert (scrumptous, chocolate tart with raspery sorbet). Food was delicious, atmosphere was great, price was affordable (wasn't expensive as i thought), company was priceless.

2006-02-14T12:35:00.000+08:00

Got home from uni and found a rose from my darling... LOVE is in the air! We celebrated valentines day yesterday... no valentine's day set menu that cost a bomb or food that cost more than usual. Anyway EVERYDAY is valentine's day.

2006-01-12T18:24:00.000+08:00

dead tired.... sore legs and hands... but priceless holiday in singapore.
carmen and my favourite dessert.... sea coconut with nata de coco
A GREAT holiday with 2 great gal friends and a great guy friend!!! Thank you Wei yi for ur hospitality, ur time and everything.... Thank you carmen for being such a great joy and my companion during this trip. thank you sean for ur humour. I got to know both of carmen and wei yi better during this trip and i'm sooooo blessed that i can call both of u great friends, not to forget sean too.

2006-01-12T17:39:00.000+08:00

finally we finished it all up.... carmen still wanted to eat more.... savoury food though.

had haagen daz chocolate delight for dinner... yummmmmm. carmen was so worried we couldn't finish it and wasn't so keen on having it but i had to try this.
After church carmen and myself went to orchard for shopping.. yeah!!! regardless of rain or hail or snow.. nothing got in our way while we shopped around sharing one umbrella among the 2 of us. we went to far east which was my fav place but carmen didn't like it coz it wasn't a 'comfortable' place to shop- crowded. then we went to Ck tangs and Taka for awhile but the shops were too expensive. after walking in the rain we found Heeren. at 9pm.. we went back to city hall which is Carmen's favourite shopping place... shopped at raffles city where carmen got some stuff and i got a coat at city hall. :) reached wei yi's house at 11pm. what a long day but a great day of shopping. Sunday... church day.... carmen, me and sean went to new creation church at suntex city. the service started at 11.15am and we reach there at 10am and guess wat? people were lining up to get the best seats for the 11.15am service.. talk about kiasu.... carmen was waiting in the line for 20 minutes... can u spot her in the picture? after 20 minutes me and sean asked carmen to get out of the line and we waited in the visitor'ssection which was a shorter line. i was so moody coz i don't believe in lining up for church. old ppl and pregnant lady also needed to line up. worship was good.... pastor was alrite... seats were comfortable.

2006-01-12T17:08:00.000+08:00

After the bird park we went to Wei yi's parents shop to eat... wow..... such good food... we had pan mee, oyster egg and singaporean hokkien mee.... we ate sooo much till i was '3 months pregnant.' Can u see my stomach in the picture. After lunch we met up with Sean at Little India. Carmen bought what she was looking for. after that me and carmen went back to Wei yi's house for dinner that her grandmother cooked and slept while Wei yi went for bible study.
Saturday we spent at the bird park early morning... the walk was a breeze coz... of me... my whining... hehe..... after the zoo and the bird park... we all came to realise that carmen and chi yenn should go on holiday together as they like nature and animals while me and wei yi love to shop. :)

2006-01-10T22:48:00.000+08:00

after walking like for hours to me coz my legs were like 'falling off'' we couldn't find clarke quay so decided to go on our separate way. on the mrt wei yi saw the clarke quay stop so we jumped out of the train and walked on our journey again to find MOS.. just carmen, me and wei yi... and finally we found it. like some dungu tourist asking around for directions.and taking photos.. embarrassing.. didn't enter coz drizzling and line was as long as the great wall of china. sean and me at the esplanade... after that we walked around looking for clarke quay where MOS was. by that time carmen and I were exchanging shoes coz our feet were killlllllling us.... we didn't find clarke quay but instead found boat quay and had dinner there... we were on a budget so finally we found a thai shop that gave us 20% off... i enjoyed the dinner but some didn't coz apparently the i think bos of the restaurant was talking behind our backs bout us... maybe bout us being so kiam siap (stingy) coz student on a budgent.. but i was facing at the back of her thus enjoyed my dinner while others didn't.

after lunch we slept for awhile coz was so tired after all the walking in the zoo.... after our slept we dressed up and for the night. wore our 'killer, vain' shoes coz Sean wanted to go to MOS. We met shermaine at the esplanade. blame sean for our misery! after the zoo went back to wei yi's house and lunch was already prepared by her grandma....never eaten so mucha prawns.... good food.. everyday had soup, fish, prawn, chicken and vegies... such good food... wei yi.. can i adopt ur grandma.. she's so cute... the last day me and carmen wanted to take a picture with her.. but she rain away....

2006-01-10T22:06:00.000+08:00

the penguins... so cute.... and so obedient.. it was feeding time and when feeding time was over.. the guy said to the penguin.. 'okie go home time.. go go... go home' The penguins were sooooo adorable and obedient.. they walked back home.
Wei yi's white tiger... so beautiful.
Carmen's favourite animal at the zoo.... she wanted to take one home
my favourite animal at the zoo... soooooo cute.... carmen and wei yi were scared when we approached the bears coz there was no cage and it was so opened.they thought the bears would jump out and eat them up... hilarious.....hahaha....

2006-01-10T21:30:00.000+08:00

The next day we went to the Zoo.... slept late and woke up early.... we were zombies... but had a great time at the zoo... was an open concept zoo.... so no cage only some places got cages like the reptiles and insect area.
once me, carmen, sean and paul arrived we went on our separate way... sean and paul went to their aunt's house while carmen and me went with wei yi.... first things first.. FOOD glorious FOOD....top left is char kuey teow.. so much different from kl style coz singapore its black in colour but kl its white... top right is satay noodle that was yummy... in the middle was lo bak ko aka cha tow kuey... bottow left is chendol and bottom right is my yummy sea coconut with nata de coco.. scrumptious. After our makan we went to bugis shopping.. lots of bargaining... i loved shopping there.. as for carmen... she likes her comfort but seeks cheap stuff... after bugis we went to chinatown... bought more stuff there.... as i was shopping. carmen was shopping with her eyes.. looking at singaporean guys and found one at Mc Ds. she was in dreamland after that....

2006-01-10T20:50:00.000+08:00

Mother soooo cute in this picture
Christmas in Bangkok was SOOO funn..... lots of shopping and sightseeing.... not much sighseeing... mainly the temple which we didn't like... the snake farm which at night i had a night mare and this floating market which was one... so this picture is at the floating market... was fun... didn't buy anything but bought food... love thai food... i enjoyed bangkok but it seems dad didn't like bangkok coz he didn't like the shopping there and the sight seeing we did in bangkok wasn't his cup of tea. mother wanted to watch the aqua show.. but i rather go shop then see the aqua 'gal' dance.

have u ever been mistaken for someone else's gf? that happened to me the other day when i was at coles... i was standing beside a chinese gal reading NW(gossip mag). I was minding my own business and then i heard someone yell "DARLING" and the next second i felt a kiss on my head. i turned and saw an 'angmo' guy. both me and him were so shocked... i thought some homeless guy taking advantage of me .. i was soo scared but luckily it wasn't some cacat person but someone that mistook me for his gf. i was soooooo gross out... didn't wanna touch my hair.... i can even feel the touch now while writing this. SOo next time... guys... dun kiss ur gf unless u know for certain its your gf.

Now back in kl.... went facial and cut my hair today... the lady at the saloon.... i told her i wanted a side fringe that comes down my eyes.... she cut a fringe for me isntead.... look like some jap anime.... wanna post the pic but finding it hard to post.

2005-11-24T01:40:00.000+08:00

i had a great day that day.... gals sleep over... surprise birthday for Siang... saw the sun rise... breaky at fast eddy and Jethro came back from Nepal. When he came back helped him wash his clothes.. man.... smell that NEPAL... n his clothes SOOOOOo dirty, cook lunch... missed helping him clean up or cook nice food for him... but would appreciate it more if someone expressed more appreciation to me and pamper me more rather then expecting me to do for him coz he knows i would do for him. I'm a sucker for words... head over heals when he expresses lovey dovey words

2005-11-24T01:37:00.000+08:00

we spilt some ingredients on the floor... opss

2005-11-24T01:36:00.001+08:00

the most important ingredient.. is chewing bum on the hair. :)

2005-11-24T01:36:00.000+08:00

Siang LOVED his birthday cake... all over him

2005-11-24T01:33:00.000+08:00

the result of our perfect cake..

2005-11-24T01:32:00.000+08:00

it was Siang's bday during the gals sleep over so we decided to give him a surprise bday... we made him a CAKE.. :) ingredients... water, flour, oil, egg, and chewing gum... 'all for one and one for all'. this was the plan... asked Siang to help me get something from the car. if he asked y can't the gal do it.. say.. coz they are lazy and busy watching tv and i need the stuff tonight... n also keep in concideration his mobile... ask him whether he's got his mobile... if he ask y? Say coz i like your mobile and thinking of getting the same one. Me... the queen of lies.... note: DO NOT learn my bad habit.. :) then .. the gals would be waiting downstairs behind the wall to make the cake for Siang. So i went upstair and asked Siang to help me carry something heaving from my car... he bought it and i asked where's his mobile... he left it in his room.. so fine.. then he said... 'something's fishy.... i feel you've something up your sleeves?' I put on my innocent face and voice and said.. "No.. nothing's up.. just want you to help me carry something" and then i changed the topic "so are you going to bern's fundraising thingy on sunday?" then we reached the carpark... walked a bit past the walls and Chi yenn came and said "Hi Siang" and the making of the cake started... by that time Siang realised and ran around the car park while 5 gals chased after him... it was pay back time to Siang after all his female jokes. so moral of the story... what u reap is what u sow. :) NOTE: I'm still innocent and kind... most of the time (99.9%) whateva i say is true.. :) hehehe...

2005-11-24T01:31:00.000+08:00

Dorcas's disease of procrestination has rubbed into me.... i haven't been studying for the past 4 days.... today i slept the WHOLE aftervo... Yesterday watched TV till got a headache... i need to get back on my feet. I realy enjoyed last week when Dorcas and Chi came over to study... made me study coz if i watch tv or sleep they wouldn't study or they will nag at me... Enjoyed their company eventhough sometimes it was annoying whenever Dorcas said, "NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!"

2005-10-31T15:24:00.000+08:00

2005-10-17T00:07:00.000+08:00

The apple of my eye JETHRO!!! I MISS you sooo much!!! NO words can express what i'm feeling now. These past weeks i've been thinking back at those days we've spent together. I miss the cuddles, the walks, the talks, the laughters. I'm so blessed to have you in my life. After you left for Nepal, I thought I would be fine but I'm not. Your my comforter, my companion as every night after going to bed i would share my heart to you. You would listen and comfort me when i feel unhappy or distressed, and you will jump with me when i'm happy. Your my emotional, spiritual and physical support. When i'm sick you would visit me even when you've got an assignment or exam the next day. When i'm stressed studying for exam, you would be my encourager emotionally and physically. You get along sooo well with my parents, better then i do with my parents. Your patient with me, you understand me, you know what i like and what i dislike. Eventhough i'm not perfect, you love me for me. I'm so blessed to have you in my life. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you (No.. i'm not engaged yet).

2005-10-05T23:29:00.001+08:00
