My Graduation!

2010-12-16T03:15:00.003+11:00

I'm BACK AGAIN

2010-12-14T02:30:00.006+11:00

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for AGESSSSS. I guess blog is just a stress relief thing. Once exams are done I neglect it forever.

Since I like to my a list of 10 things on my blog, I shall make a list of 10 things that have been happening to me and will be happening to me soon!

1. I got all of my results and surprisingly this semester was the best result of of my whole 3 years. all my 9am-8pm law library effort paid off! so Praise the Lord! I can graduate!

2. I will be graduating this Wednesday 15th December.

3. I will be officially turning 21 this Thursday 16th December! =)

4. I had my awesome pink 21st party everything went well as planned except for the helium gas leaking but thank God for all my friends who helped me to blow up my pink balloons and devin the gun on the ladder taking charge to hang the balloons on the heaters.

5. I am really really in loveeeeeeee with all of my birthday presents- obviously the iphone4 which i am playing 10 hours a day now with Tim taking the other 12, and Bena Hu and friends surprised me with 21 pink birthday presents! it was too sweet! Some gun also gave me an I-tunes gift card which I thought wasn't sincere at first until I found out how good it is to buy iphone apps without needing to use my own credit card... and so I bought 2 more itunes card for my own christmas present...but that doesnt make sense because i'm still using my own money.

6. I went to mornington today with Andrew and Co and will be going to mornington again on sunday with Bena! Actually it's not really mornington but even further at cape schanck! Cape Schanck Resort looked so pro and awesome so just booked a night to stay there on Sunday! It's a surprise for Bena though so dont tell her my readers, if there are any.

7. I realised that my boyfriend is gay so I'm not sure what to do about that.

but i guess i can't blame him either.

8. MY AUSTRALIAN PASSPORT APPLICATION HAS FINALLY BEEN APPROVED AFTER 9 TIMES OF GOING TO THE PASSPORT OFFICE AND POST OFFICE!

9. Last week we had a really good study on Romans 12 and we all made up a list of things that we would do for the week. Mine was based on Romans 12:9-21, especially:

v9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

v14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.

have been trying hard but definitely realised can't do it with my own strength but God's. need to keep praying!

10. I will be leaving for Paris and London and my hometown Hong Kong in 12 days time! I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GO TO LONDON AND PARIS! To be honest, less excited for the holiday but more excited to see you Neil and Amy!!!

That is all! Go look at pictures on facebook!

SOY CHAI LATTE- worst drink I've tasted

2010-11-18T00:35:00.004+11:00

For those that know me well, I'm not a fan of tea, coffee, and milk.

But out of the blues today, I decided to take a break from studying and walked to 7 seeds for a "drink". Usually, I would order either normal latte with heaps of sugar, or just hot chocolate. But Tim told me last week to try out " Soy Chai Latte' because it apparently is a "girl's drink". So I decided to give it a try and I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATED IT.

It wasn't those kinda feeling where you drink and you say YUCK! It wasn't also those feeling that you drink and you say "OMGOSH EWWWW YUCK #@!$@)@##!!!", it was the drink that you would drink and srunch up your face like nick cheng's x 1000 times saying :'EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YUCK EWWWWWWWWWW YUCK WHAT IS THIS EWWW OMGOSH I WANNA VOMIT EWWWWWW I"M HAVING A HEADACHE NOW"

+

really disgusting smell

+
really disgusting after taste

+
it makes me feel like vomiting.

5 hours later-> I can still taste the chai.

10 hours later-> I still feel like vomiting.

15 hours later-> I can still dream about the smell and taste.

There really is NO way I could describe this drink to you because it is really not tolerable. I dont think I'd drink it eventhough there's no water left in the world but chai latte. okay maybe i will drink it but..you get what i mean.

Chai Latte= Gross= Don't Try it = Happy.

Btw, dont get me wrong, the soy part wasn't bad at all, it was just the chai that i really hated.

Alright back to memorizing essays!

There are 3 things that I'm looking forward to:

1) Finishing Exams
2) Getting an Iphone.
3) Stop thinking about soy chai latte

Should I get an iphone??

2010-11-14T19:20:00.004+11:00

I have been thinking about getting an iphone for a while now. My plan is to get it next Monday after my exams, but there's always second thoughts going through my mind. Should I? or should i not? it's like in those chinese shows where the girl holds the rose and plucks each petals of it saying : he loves me, he loves me not." I'm confused! I really want an iphone- I just dont know WHEN to get it, iphone4, or wait for the iphone5? So please help me dear readers!

Here are the reasons why I think I should/shouldn't get an iphone now.

SHOULD
- so I can play games, heaps of games on my phone during my holidays.
- so that I can watch chinese shows on my phone all the time.
-because everyone has it.
-because i feel like it.
-my current phone is still working on calls but the sms function plays up on me, the keypad has problems, and my charger does not work properly.

SHOULDN'T
- my cap hasn't finished an buying an iphone 4 means I have to buy it upfront!
-Iphone changes every year, it's like the iphone 3Gs, people think it's "so old" but it's not!
-because tim ho will use it more than i do. especially in hong kong he's going to play with it all the time and not come shopping with me.
-if i wait for another 6 more months, my contract will expire, then i will wait for another 2+3 after that months until the iphone 5 comes out and I get it on contract.

Soooo...should i ???

Had my citizenship ceremony today!

2010-11-11T14:11:00.006+11:00

The ceremony was soooo simple it was only 20 minutes. We didn't even need to go up to the stage to collect our certificates. No one was there to hand the certificates to us. They did not give us an Australian Plant too. They only said 5 sentences:

"We would like to acknowledge our Wurundjeri natives of our land"- I liao'ed.

"Please stand up and say your pledge"

"You are officially an Australian Citizen, congratulations"

"Please sing the Australian National Anthem"

"Thank you the ceremony is over".

So I guess this is it!

Please do not call me a fob because I am officially an Australian!

10 things I hate about having braces

Neil I found your doppelganger!

2010-10-28T02:54:00.001+11:00

disgusting? wait till you read this.

2010-10-25T02:35:00.013+11:00

I know I've been blogging about pretty disgusting stuff recently- talking about farts, bloods, and showing my ugly teeth. Sorry to upset you but today's post is about what happened today obviously- which is pretty disgusting.

So today after church lunch at tien dat, a couple of us decided to visit benahu at michel's patisserie to say hi + get cheap cakes. We made a lot of noise around her shop as usual, stood infront of the shop blocking the hallway like we always do, and asking benahu heaps of questions about random cakes. When benahu first saw me in the shop, she was like..."meh..." and said a pretty lazy sounding hi, not until i mentioned I brought a whole bunch of ppl to visit her, and the minute she saw luke in the pram coming in, she shouted HIIIIIIII + waved really fast + smiled really big (I'm sure any of you who knows who benahu is can imagine that now). Anyway, to cut my story short I decided to buy a slice of baked cheesecake and benahu, as nice as she can be charged me only $2 for it. I was so happy with my purchase as I have been craving to eat cheesecake the whole week + it was only $2, good buy.

I went home, here I am now sitting in my toilet bowl, typing this post, getting ready for my bidet to shoot my bum (not the front..who does that) and clean off that loads of light brown stinky diarrhea (yes neil luo this is for you =P you're lucky i didn't take a picture of it). Btw this is my 4th time doing an epic diarrhea and my tummy fully hurts soooooo badly still.

Before I did this diarrhea I was actually about to call benahu and complain about michel's patesserie serving me with unfreshed cheesecake. Not until I went downstairs and picked up the hot chocolate container, suddenly realising that I can't drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant..oh wait...I AM LACTOSE INTOLERANT I FORGOT omgggg -_- and yes that was my reaction.

So it was no one's fault but mine to blame for my bad memory.

Alright time for me to get out from this stinky toilet, oh wait maybe I should wash my hands first.

btw this post is also to apologise to those of you who have used and touched my eee pc netbook before. Clearly, this is not my first time doing this.

Are you looking up the wall thinking about it now? Yes Neil Luo you've even put 10 fingers tightly on it snatching my eee pc away from me. You probably wont even notice the poo since it's camouflaged with your light brown healthy glowing skin.

Cringing now? It's okay Devin Toh you haven't touched my eee pc before that's because you never come to my house. You are still clean. However, I am bad for your life, so, please, go. Go bun, go.

Rolling your eyes now? You know you find me funny Tim Ho. My eee pc is clearly your home ground and you're so used to it. Dont worry you've not only used my eee pc a million times to watch your huskystarcraft but have also held my unwashed poo hands for the last 5 years.

Saying OMG now? Alicia Liew it's okay you've been near to my laptop before when i bring in to investments but dont think you've touched it. However, you did use to pinky hold hands with me since the age of 8. Mind you, habits start early.

Laughing now? Rachel Yong yeah I know Im gross luckily you used my hp laptop that day. Dont worry when I see you I usually wash my hands too.

And that concludes my disgusting post to my 5 most loyal and only readers of my blog.

If you have been my loyal blog reader and have not been mentioned, please leave a comment below to let me know.

Thank you everyone for your support please come back to read more.

I found my doppelganger

2010-10-23T20:15:00.002+11:00

is this guy really more attractive than me?

2010-10-22T23:21:00.003+11:00

2010-10-22T16:59:00.002+11:00

YAY just came back from the dentist now finally 6 teeth gone!

gross i know.

and straight after I wrote the last post, this morning I woke up and received a letter from the australian government asking me to attend the citizenship ceremony on the 11th of Nov..

looks like it's too late to become a malaysian again.

I've never missed Malaysia so much for a while!

2010-10-22T03:28:00.005+11:00

My dad recently fixed up this epic expensive sound system in my house so to make the most of it, I decided to use it tonight.

This sound system has a touch screen remote and allows you to listen to any radio stations in the world. For the first 2 hours I was happily listening to various jazz channels but out of curiosity I decided switch and listen to 98.8, a chinese radio channel in Malayisa- used to be my favourite.

Initially, I only wanted to listen to it for the most 5 minutes, as soon as the channel played, I felt like I was in Malayisa. How ironic that the first word the radio lady said was "lam fung" followed by his song. It was then followed by Jay Chou, Nicholas Teo, JJ Lin..all my old school fav artist. In between these songs were heaps of Malayisan ads which I miss heaps. I then end up listening to it for 3 hours straight.

Listening to malaysian radio stations made me think about all the happy moments I had when I used to go back to Malaysia for 2 months.

I miss living in my grandma's apartment.
I miss shopping in IU
I miss shopping in Midvalley
I miss cutting my hair in Malaysia
I miss going to my grandmas house every sat to see my cousins and watch miss chinese int.
I miss eating at hawker centres.
I miss going to dermalogica to do my facials.
I miss my primary school days in Malaysia
I miss taking sticker photos
I miss sitting in Malaysian cars
I miss going to lala cheong.
I miss being a lala.
I miss being a Malaysian.

looks like there's no turning back...UNLESS I do not attend my Australian Citizenship Ceremony..hmmm..

look what i have done to myself..

2010-10-21T03:21:00.007+11:00

yes i did. I cut bangs otherwise known as the benahufringe for the third time in my life.

does this look familiar?

yeah sorta...at least it is way better than...

THISSS.

obviously...put any picture compared with that china pic can look good.

yoda it's finally time for you to shine.

Too much wind?

2010-10-20T02:24:00.004+11:00

One bad habit that you might notice of me is that I chew with my mouth open and chew very loud.

Ya I know..disgusting right?

Even worse after I'm bo gei (no teeth) on one side now, I have to push all the food to one side and open my mouth bigger to chew to avoid it from getting to the other side.

Another thing that people might not know is that I get a lot of fung in my tummy. Not Lam Fung's Fung, but fung in terms of "wind".

I am fat yes I know but I am often bloated fat. Which means my tummy isn't actually filled with a lot of fats but it is bloated with wind.

Whenever this happens, I get a very very very bad feeling. My tummy feels very unwell and I feel that I can't take in any food. I also feel that I can't sit up because it hurts. Usually the way I cure it is to lie on the bed and start hitting my tummy or apply my mum's "bird oil" until the wind comes out. (yeah how does the wind come out? fart obviously).

EWW you might say, but yeah whatever lol. I have no shame.

Anyway, this has been happening to me since I was quite young and over the last few years it has been happening more and more often. However, I never knew why this happens though. Until that day I decided to ask a very knowledgable doctor (especially with babies) Dr Tim Ho about my weird "fung tummy". Dr Tim Ho suggested to me that the reason why I have lots of wind in my tummy is because I eat with my mouth open and the reason why it happens so often is because I eat a lot.

"The more you eat, the more you open your mouth, the more your chew the wind in to my tummy" he says.

Tim is either right or he's just a gun.

Who is a better doctor to trust other than Dr Andrew Chan's brother in law?

so from now on i shall eat with my mouth closed.

and the world says .... finally!

Introducing José the Bass

2010-10-07T04:04:00.005+11:00

Okay I know it's embarrassing but I would like to announce that...I BOUGHT A BASS GUITAR! (which also comes with an amp, stand, case, tuner) and yes, i know i'm getting OMGOSH ARE YOU SERIOUS reactions but wait till you see my improvement in bass you'll be like OMGOSH SINCE WHEN YOU BECAME SO GOOD?

I've had my bass guitar, named José for 3 days now and trust me having a bass guitar at home really works for noobs like me who does not have a musical talent (besides my pp) but yet still want to pick up an instrument.

Throughout the last 3 days I've been playing José along with random songs I find on youtube- namely Christian songs. For someoone who has been playing piano her whole life, I feel so different plucking an instrument now instead of pressing on it. hmm.

I never liked music when I played the piano. But now I'm starting to like music when I play the bass.

Let's see how long this "Bass Guitar Phase" will last on me- I'd say- until end of this year =)

Hey my wingchun phase started 3 months ago and I'm still up for more wing chun (which reminds me that I've recently learnt a new move that I need to teach you all)

And no, I did not waste heaps of money on it I bought it cause it was $150 for a bass guitar+amp+case+stand kit! cheap huh!

Btw, José is red in colour. He was initially a guy but turned gay when he arrived my house.

OH NO I NEED TO TAKE 6 TEETH OUT!

2010-09-29T16:05:00.002+10:00

Just to make this ugly duckling...

lool like this.
i'm so scared!

HANNAH MONTANA!

5 Simple steps to a 5 minutes Everyday makeup look

2010-09-02T04:17:00.009+10:00

My first make up post! Review + Worded Tutorial

These products are essentially what I have in my pink little make up bag that I carry around. I've tried hundreds of make up products before and the ones below are my favourites to create that clean natural look.

Step 1- Moisturise your face to prep your skin

I have been using Dermalogica Active Moist for years and I really like it because it's hydrating and the texture isn't too oily.

Step 2- Apply a light coat of foundation

There are different type of foundation that could be used. Mineral based, liquid, powder, or cream(stick foundation). I have tried all of these different types of foundation and found liquid to be the most hydrating, mineral to be the least harmful for face, and stick foundation to be the quickest way of application.

I have been using Revlon Photoready Foundation as it not only covers my blemishes well but also gives me that tiny "glow" to my look- in make up terms, we call it a "dewy" look

Might also want to use a concealer to conceal any blemishes and dark eye circles if you have more time.

Step 3- Finish off with a powder to make your foundation last longer

Most powders appear to be either too cakey, dry, or really white so make sure you pick the right type of consistency and colour.

One tip to make your make up look less cakey is also to apply your powder with a big brush, dabbing it in to your skin instead of using those sponges.

I have been using MAC's Mineralise Skin Finish for years now and found it to be the most natural looking powder. I like it cause it doesn't make me look like a giesha.

Step 4- Apply a blush colour of your choice.

Although some people don't like have blush on them cause they think it makes them look like chinese opera, I'd have to say from my many years of make up research that a tiny pinch of blush will actually make your face look brigher, more awake, and gives "tone" to it.

Any blusher will do- I don't really have a one I like cause I find them all to be almost the same. But I recommend using a matte blush for a simple everyday look.

Blushes can be divided into different tones- Pink, Peach, and Taupe.

Pink blushes are used to create the more cutey jap girl huge eyes dolly kinda look

where as peach is more natural and high fashioned.

Taupe/Bronzer -used for contouring your face to make your face look smaller.

For now, I have been using my MAC's blush in Peach.

Step 5- Apply a thin layer of eyeliner to define your eyes.

Eyeliner comes in pencil, gel, and liquid form and I actually use all of them! Sometimes even all at once!

Start by applying a thin line with an eyeliner pencil/gel liner

I usually use Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner- so far the best pencil eyeliner I've used. Cheap,Not much smudges, long staying power, no need to sharpen.

But now I've invested in Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner because it provides me with a much thinner, precise, and dark line. The only bad side to this is that it is very creamy and smudges quite easily.

That' why, it's important to top up the gel/pencil eyeliner with either a liquid eyeliner or some dark brown powdered shadow.

I like applying medium blue shadows now as blue shadows helps to enhance our black/brown Asian eyes and somewhat make them look bigger and less gothic like black.

One good tip to note is when applying eyeliner on your waterline (underneath), don't use black eyeliner as it is too harsh for an everyday look. A brown eyeliner would be good. Apply some white eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them a lil.

And that is it! Five simple steps to Glozdaddy's Everyday Make Up look.

I am so made to be a makeup artist or seller.

Amazing but harmful

2010-09-01T00:04:00.002+10:00

This stuff here, yeah taste pretty amazing, after after I ate it today, gave me the biggest diarrhoea ever!

Just like things in life, seems amazing to do, to look, to touch, but ultimately it is so harmful for us, causing us to sin, and turn away from God.

My new favourite game!

2010-08-31T03:03:00.012+10:00

It's called Penguin Diner 2,

pretty lame but it's fun! for girls!

I posted the wrong link before that was penguin diner 1 which is boring. Penguin diner 2 is more interesting because of the upgrades

so close to an accident!

2010-08-30T00:07:00.002+10:00

Pastor Mark’s Date Night Tips | The Mars Hill Blog

2010-08-27T01:48:00.001+10:00

Pastor Mark’s Date Night Tips The Mars Hill Blog

1.Parents, if you can’t afford a sitter, is there a way to set up a rotation with three other families to take turns each week watching kids for date night?
2.Husbands, when is your date night? Your wife needs it. You do, too. Grace and I have enjoyed Friday date nights for about 20 years.
3.Husbands, don’t waste every date night at a movie where you can’t talk. Use the time to visit with your wife, draw her out, and study her like you do the Bible.
4.Husbands, plan out your date nights. Ask you wife in advance what sounds good, see what your options are, and make a plan. She’ll be thankful.
5.Date night killers: no plan, selfishness, laziness, letting technology keep interrupting, and doing the same old predictable thing.
6.Time with other couples now and then is OK, but if most date nights involve other people, there is likely an intimacy disconnect in the marriage.
7.Dads, moms who stay home all day with the kids need to get dressed up, taken out, and have some adult conversation with their husbuddy.
8.Husbands, what can you do to find some creative ways to make date night fun and endearing even on a tight budget?
9.Husbands, what can you start doing days or hours before date night to build the expectation of connection with your wife? Flowers, cards, calls, texts?
10.When life gets crazy, the kids are sick, etc. is there any way to sneak in a bit of a date night at home with say a soak in the tub together, glass of wine etc. after the kids go to sleep?
11.Sometimes sending the kids out to someone’s house and having a date night at home can be cheap and fun if planned right.
12.Men, you don’t pursue a woman to marry her and stop pursuing her. You pursue a woman to marry her and pursue her with more passion and creativity than ever. How’s it going husbands?
13.Men, you don’t need to understand women. You will be doing better than most men to understand just one woman. Date nights are to ask inviting questions, listen, and learn about her. It’s also a night to open up and let her do the same.
14.Men, if you don’t date your wife, someone else may eventually volunteer for the job.
15.Ladies, sometimes it’s a great gift to go into your husband’s world for a date night by doing something like putting on a jersey going to a game and eating a hot dog. His love language may just be hot dog.
16.Men: find a shirt with buttons, try two eyebrows instead of one, find a breath mint or 20, show up with a gift, don’t ogle other women, and go to a restaurant that does not have a spork.
17.Sometimes the best date night is date breakfast, date lunch, or surprise pick up your spouse from work for an hour at a hotel.
18.For some they are bored games, but if your spouse likes board games, date night could be a nice spot, a beverage of choice and time to play and chat.
19.Sometimes takeout is fun and a drive to somewhere more private to turn it into a picnic or adventure.

Are you scared of the police?

2010-08-26T01:56:00.008+10:00

I don't know why but whenever i see police i get like really scared lol.

it's funny because i know they're not after me but i still get scared for some reason lol.

It's like today, I was crossing the yellow light pretty fast but it was still yellow. This police car was driving behind me for like 15 minutes and I was like..gg..is he like trying to catch me because i went pass a yellow light? but i thought that's fine? oh no did i do something wrong? and if he wants to catch me why isn't he turning on that eiyor eiyor lights thing to catch me?

Yeah...I was pretty scared...in my head i was already thinking : okay do I have my license ready? yes i do...okay oh no did I put my green Ps sign properly? oh yes i did. okay no phones around me? yeah no phones good...oh no wait i got a gps...oh yeah that's legal.

On the way back from uni, there were 2 other police cars driving near me. One next lane the other infront.

It's funny how many police cars I can see in a day at such a short trip as well.

Maybe it's a sign for me that I shouldn't drive like a gun next time- i.e talking on the phone.

my mum also told me today: oh yeah btw you know that day i had a phonecall from someone i was really scared so like i stopped and pick my phone call up...oh yeah and my friend..she had a phonecall while she was driving and she did not pick it up..yeah..

and i was like...did gladys tell you something or you managed to find the link to my blog?

then she did the most suspicious face to me.

gun gladys.

YES I broke my record

2010-08-23T01:04:00.004+10:00

I made it home today in 21 minutes from balwyn (man i'm so pro), usually I take around 30 minutes during non peak hour. best I've done so far. Worst was 2 days ago stucked at a** drive, took me an hour ++ to get home.

I think I'm getting better in driving. Able to msn while driving, put make up while driving, do my hair while driving, sms while driving, talk on the phone while driving..what's next? play my DS?

I'm going to get into an accident one day am i?

I hope the police never finds this blog.

Lotso in Up?

2010-08-20T03:40:00.002+10:00

We all know that Lotso the mean hugging bear is featured in Toy Story 3- one of my favourite movie of the year.

But what you don't know is that...

LOTSO IS ALSO FEATURED IN THE MOVIE "UP"!!

He appeared for like 2 seconds at the little girl's room during the scene where the house comes off the ground and start flying.

Pixar, you're too creative!

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ME DFO

2010-08-19T00:29:00.003+10:00

Today I was listening to the news and I heard that DFO IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN AT SOUTH WHARF!! Then I went home and checked the news and found out they're in huge debt.

why..why take away South Wharf out off all the DFO's in the whole of Victoria....okay I know it's a bit far for ppl to get to with 20 minute walk from Spencer..but..at least you can get cheap billy shoes and tim fong jacket from there!

DFO is my only hang out place and they took it away from me =(

Now I don't have anything around me but..test driving Suburu cars all day.

Oh btw, I was naughty yesterday and bought myself a new dress from dotti cause it was on sale! half price! hehe.

laters!

Cherish your Grandparents.

2010-08-18T01:54:00.006+10:00

Today I decided to bring my grandma to Westfield for shopping. It was just a good outing day for both of us. I guess I never really got to spend proper one to one time with my grandma especially since I moved here 9 years ago.

It's funny, my grandma used to drive me everywhere when I was young and now I'm driving her =)

She told me that I used to be really naughty and used to paint my nails in her car.

I told my grandma I would buy something for her but she refused to accept anything. Her rule is : I will only steal all your money when you start working.

However, I told her about this Cash On Delivery thing I did by selling my Investments book and told her it was an "income" so she happily accepted a handbag from me and said I was "smart to earn money" and that I should not "stay home and be a housewife" but make use of my talent to "do business and earn heaps of money".

My grandma like complaining alot about other people. I used to get frustrated with it alot, but I actually like it now. I think as I grow older, I understand things better. Sad and perhaps harsh to say but grandma's already 80 and eventhough she's still really strong and healthy, you'll never know when it will happen. I just want to cherish each day I have with her before I regret.

Thus, I really do want to make use of the remaining month I have left with my grandma. I just want to be there for her, to be her listener, she was talking about all these problems and I really don't know what to say. But I don't think I needed to say anything, I did all she wanted from me is- listen.

As I grow older as well, I start to understand how old people think. When I was young, I thought my grandma would be happy with me if I bought her something nice. But now, I understand that she would be most happy with that something nice was me instead. Sometimes we could use all the money we have to buy them the most beautiful diamond in the world or shout them abonloney dinners, but I don't really think that's what they want. Gifts are a form of pleasure but the most precious gift is the time they get from their loved ones.

Sometimes it's sad because our grandparents and even parents want to know absoulutely everything about us but yet we're too shy or refuse to let them know everything about us.

I find that often the most sincere smiles I get from both my parents and grandparents is during the time where I actually sit down and just have a nice chat with them.

I'm glad that my grandma came down to Australia and I really hope I can learn how to be a better granddaughter.

The happiest day that I hope would arrive would be the day she accepts Christ as her Saviour and Lord.

Love you mama!

I am no longer a fob!

2010-08-17T01:32:00.008+10:00

yayyy I passed my Australian Citizenship test with 100%!!

so now what that I'm an Australian..

hmm...

vote?

Yeah..finally..been waiting for a long time to vote...I'm so like..excited to vote.

I realised that I have to pay $260 to apply for citizenship through PR. But, if I end up marrying an Australian and then change my citizenship after, I only need to pay $130- half price! save $130!! But, if my dad told me earlier that he had already converted his citizenship few years ago, I could have been registered under him and get it for FREE!

Sigh, already an Australian but still think like a Malaysian.

I guess..once a fob, forever a fob.

Law is just not made for me

2010-08-16T02:33:00.004+10:00

It's 2.33 now and I finally finished my tax assignment! Actually no. I haven't. I went way over the word limit and gotta cut things down now. Looks like I can't sleep till 3am tonight. I think this is like the second law assignment I've done in my whole life and I just really hate it not because the content is hard, but because of all these stupid law ppl being so particular and precise that eventhough it's just a simple answer:

"Jose is a resident of Australia for tax purposes" but it ended up being a whole draggy essay with heaps of points and the annoying part is to cite it with relevant law and ruling and to find case that supports the argument.

I don't know how all my law friends can survive with such boring uni life.

GG luckily there's only one more big law assignment for me to do in my whole life.

When I was young, I had 3 ambitions:

1. Lawyer
2. Model
3. Actress

Can't be a model due to height, looks like I'll never ever be a lawyer, so I guess the last thing for me to pursue is..acting?

Oh wait gg can't sleep by 3am still got citizenship test to study! =(

If I fail tmr please don't laugh at me.

Might give oversized glasses a go

2010-08-14T00:24:00.004+10:00

Had a hair cut today! really like it. my hairstylist was wearing an oversized glasses and i thought it looked really good on her. Maybe I should give oversized glasses a go! Eventhough I might look fully ugly, at least it'll cover my "no make up face" fully since the frames are so big.

If i'm going to go ugly anyway might as well go to the max!

Lame but I find it funny.

2010-08-12T02:07:00.001+10:00

What's my first language?

2010-08-10T23:20:00.005+10:00

I was doing a communication subject tute work the other day talking about challenges we find in our interpersonal communication. One of the question was : Is English your first language?

I thought to myself..okay..how many languages can i speak fluently? Not much. English, Mandarin, Cantonese.

So..which of these 3 is my first language?

Obviously the one I speak at home- English. But i thought to myself...Eventhough English is so called my "first" language...I have never really mastered this language...I speak this language everyday, write this language everyday, listen to this language everyday, but somehow I can just never get good in English. Often there are times where I'd have to google or get on www.dictionary.com when i talk to guns like Devin and Tim on msn. They just like using what i call "big words" (eg sinister instead of bad) thinking that I would understand it..but..i just dont.

So is English really my frist language? Yes but No. Is Chinese/Cantonese my first language? Definitely not in a million years. So what's English then? I tend to call it "My half first language.." which basically means English is my first language but I'm just not very good at it.

I think most Malaysians can identify with me in this way. We know our grammar, it's just that we never use it. We speak English everyday, just not in the right way.

Eh what you doing tmr ah? - What are you doing tomorrow?
you ah, why you always like that one? Why are you always acting like that?
Eh this one how ah? - How do you do this?
Aiyo i dont want la you eat la- No, I do not want to eat. How about you eat it instead?
eh switch off the light- Pls turn the lights off.
aiya i fetch you home la you take bus so mah fan- Don't bother taking a bus, it's too inconvenient. I will give you a lift home.
eh you don't play play with me ah, i know wing chun wan! - Don't mess around with me. I know Wing Chun.

and so on...

I wonder when can I finally call English, my frist language.

One day everyone's going to be wearing eskimo fur hats like me.

Typical selfish mean Asian in the bus

2010-08-05T00:43:00.005+10:00

Taking a bus seems like such an easy thing, but sometimes there are a lot of things that go through my mind when I step in the bus. And hopefully a lot of you can relate to me, if you dont, then clearly you're weird or I just think to much- like any other ordinary girl.

After validating the ticket, I seriously need to think a lot when looking for a space to sit. I usually have a spot that I usually take (in the middle before the steps close to the door near the window), but when that's taken, i think:

Okay should i sit in the front? oh no wait but i'm carrying soooo many bags today and it's so heavy if i sit infront surely there would be old ppl coming in later and i'd have to give my sit to them which means..i gotta stand up with my heavy bag for 1 hour! oh no! (mean and selfish thoughts)

then I start walking further ahead.

Oh no that guy looks a bit dodgy and scary might find somewhere else

then further..

oh wait that women is abit oversized i'd have no space to sit (sooo mean gloria wong can't believe i think things like that)

then further...
oh wait it's behind two couples hugging that's discussing.

then further..
oh two annoying year 9 kids talking..

then further..
oh no that lady is talking heaps on the phone...

then further..
oh wait that guy is reading mx which means the newspaper will come into my sit and i'd have no space

then further
oh no that guy has really loud music on his headphones..

then further..
oh wait that girl has a big bag on the floor i'd have no leg room..

then further
oh wait I KNOW THAT GUY but i don't really want to talk to him it'd be so awkward talking to him for the whole bus trip okay try to avoid eye contact.

then further..
eeeeew that guy is coughing heaps i don't wanna get sick.

then further..
oh no it's waaaay towards to end already I'd get a headache, can't breathe, and takes me ages to get out

and in the end...

There are no seats left.

Heaps of things to start repenting!

Bible study once a week helps heaps

2010-08-04T01:56:00.007+10:00

I'm probably one of the laziest person out there. Especially when it comes to winter, I just hate getting out of my bed. Especially when I live in the city now, I just hate coming back to Balwyn.

"Why make an effort to go to YAG in a cold winter day? I mean it's full on traffic jam out there, it'll take you ages to reach balwyn, your mum hasn't prepared dinner and you still got like 40 pages of tax law to read for tonight " the little devil side of me spoke.

It's sorta the feeling that you know you're going to YAG anyway but because it has become a "routine" there's always this naughty voice besides you giving you reasons that somehow "justify" you for not going".

Then God broke those barries and allowed me to come for YAG tonight, with a real heart. I had no regret- a little late dinner, a little more driving, a little delayed reading is rewarded with an awesome reunion with God, deeper understanding of his word, increase in faith and fellowship with friends. Most importantly, I think I came home today with the benefit of learning someone new, instead of "oh it's just another YAG routine" day.

Cherish every little moment you have to spend that time with God. He gave it all to us, we don't even deserve it, but yet sometimes we take things for granted, we choose to avoid, neglet, reject.

The current YAG study we're doing is called Gospe[ in ]ife. Encourage all of you to join us for this time of fellowship with each other and with God. Come and you won't regret!

Shoo away that little naughty voice beside you and choose to listen only to His voice.

See you all in 3 days

2010-07-30T02:36:00.005+10:00

Going to a random island.

Meanwhile, Happy 23rd Birthday Jo!

Love, from your 3 years junior 20 year old friend =)

Enjoy being mature! bahaha i'm so mean!

Hope I get lost in this random island and you'll never see me again!

Bible Verse of the day

2010-07-28T15:54:00.003+10:00

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:8-10

It is indeed through the grace of God that we have been saved. We are all made uniquely, we are his workmanship. My friends, pray, and think about how we can continue to serve the Lord, wholeheartedly and joyfully.

First day of uni

2010-07-27T01:11:00.003+10:00

This morning I was quite motivated to get up at 8.30am and go to uni nice and fresh. It started up with Chinese, which was really boring, but i still managed to stay awake for the whole 2 hours.

Then, I had a massive break. Decided to go MC and buy birthday present for Jo and ended up buying more things for myself. Looked around for some cat earrings but couldn't find any. and so i had to buy "something else".

Anyways did body pump for one hour and could not believe how many times the instructor had to tell me off for my technique. Looks like the reason why my muscles never grew any bigger is because i have been getting my technique wrong for the past year. -_-. Anyway, my arms and legs hurt now again so you guys will be saved from not getting wing chun-ed by me this week.

After that had another 2 hours business communication lecture. My first management lecture. It was simple, but totally lost my motivation then and had to take a power nap. Surprisingly, during my nap, I could actually still take information in and write down notes after I woke up.

It's either i'm a genius or I probably was just pretending to sleep.

Anyway, a bad way to start up my first day of my last term of uni!

Gloria Wong study hard!

Scienceworks

2010-07-23T02:40:00.005+10:00

Today we went to Williamstown and Scienceworks for a little trip since that's the only place we haven't been in Australia. Also, the best thing is that it's only 15 minutes away from my new house! How good is that! Abo drive will get you there!Here are some pictures that we took today!

NO MORE HOPE IN GROWING...after 5 years still the same height..what's wrong with me.

Taking the jump test. Obviously short ppl can't jump.

But sometimes guns can jump pretty high..they get trained in COD.

This picture is specially for Devin. "OH NO I have no more toilet paper what should I do? QUILTON WHERE ARE YOU?"

guns

more guns

Anyways really enjoyed today and for you lame kids out there really encourage you to have a look at Scienceworks if you haven't. Why? Because it's FREE FOR CONCESSIONS!

Quilton- The best toilet paper ever

2010-07-21T15:14:00.001+10:00

BTW for those who claim they know a lot about toilet papers, Quilton now comes in 3 ply. Quilton toilet paper will make your bum feel like a baby.

My thoughts on the remaining Masterchef Contestants

2010-07-20T02:20:00.004+10:00

Claire
lol guess i can't really say much about her now but yeah she's quite good but a bit boring in personality.

Callum
He's like the cutest person ever in masterchef. He's always so gan jiong and i just loveeee to see that face he looks so cute when he's scared. He can be a noob sometimes but he still does put up decent dishes for his age. Same age as me! Everytime i see him on tv being all nervous and sweaty i wished i could be there to help him wipe his sweat hehe. disgusting.

Courtney
Bleh. Don't really know much about her besides she's bi. But yeah, she's okay, quite good since she came back from the competition. But obviously no where to the standard of my favourite Marion and Jonathan. It's so unfair for her to be in again.

Adam
is my pick to win the competition now. He's asian, smart, talented, cute, and awesome in cooking. I like how he isn't the typical Malaysian like Poh and Alvin who cooks malaysian food most of the time but he's very versatile and knows how to cook different cruisines. He has the technique and knowledge in food. Put up some awesome dishes so far. Very consistent. My favourite after Marion and Jonathan.

Jimmy
OMG WHY DID THEY ALLOW HIM TO COME BACK TO THE COMPETITION GG AND WHY DID HE WIN THE LAST CHALLENGE? AS IF!!! I still don't understand why he's back. He always goes " i don't want the judges to think that all i can do is curry" but hello i really think curry is the only thing he knows how to make. If Jimmy wins masterchef, I will never eat indian food for the rest of my life. Big call. Why? because i seriously don't think he'll win. Oh wait maybe he can...after today's call and with the judges' past experiences of eliminating good cooks and keep the bad ones in..hmm..maybe i should delete what i just said.

Alvin just got kicked out today which was a bit sad to see considering i support him because he's malaysian but yeah i guess it was fair since his cake failed pretty badly today.

Two favourite eliminated contestant
Jonathan, eventhough everyone hates you, you will always still be my favourite cook in the competition. You are just too funny but talented. I was super upset when you were out. I will definitely fly to Sydney to be one of your first customers.

Marion, you are the best. I reckon you can do much better than opening a winery restaurant thing. Oh well if that's your dream, pursue it.

That is all for now.

GO ADAM! and pleaseeee anyone else can win but NOT JIMMY

Good Old Titus

2010-07-18T02:21:00.003+10:00

Today's bible reading in OUR DAILY BREAD is from :

Titus 3:3-11 (New International Version)

3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

9But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. 11You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

Had a productive day

2010-07-16T03:19:00.006+10:00

Had a couple of guns coming over to my new place this morning. One of them complaint too much that he had to walk 30 mins to my house and said he was never coming back again. The same gun ended up wasting $96 +2 during his 5 hour visit. The other one forgot to take the parking ticket off DFO after he paid. Same gun also gave himself a new nickname : 90 in long case.

The two guns, together also kept walking pass Politix while telling Kewell to put his hands down

Why do I hang around with guns, I'd rather hang out with the good guys.

Anyway after that some epic non guns Andrew and Christine came over for a visit. Which was nice, but after a while, because my house was apparently as boring as gun's house that you can't do anything but to play mafia and boring Christian financial board games where everyone wins, they decided to leave.

After that, during the evening, some more cooler ppl came over. Yiing, Amy, and Neil came over for youth camp meeting. We also watched a bit of masterchef before that. Glad to see that Aaron is out and Alvin is still in. Still can't believe that epic gun Jimmy is still in though. Oh well.

The last thing I did tonight was to have Yiing staying over at my place and having a very productive and romantic walking by the yarra river at midnight D&M'ing till nearly 2am.

Tmr- another gun day. Lots of things to do.

Im sure you've noticed how many times I've said the word GUN in this post, just to let you know, GUN is a mixture of doosh+loser+stupid but now it's an internationally known word used in any cases to describe just about anything and everything

Night gunners!

It has been nearly a week since I'm stranded here by the river.

I guess it's not thaaat boring. I've been isketching, webcamming, singing with youtube karaoke etc to entertain myself. Just sang Miley Cyrus songs to myself eventhough it's 3am.

Another thing that I've been doing is pretty obvious to guess, especially for most of you who have been victims of my 2 famous lines:

"hey pretend to stranggle me but don't"
or
"hey punch me".

and yes I've been learning Wing Chun from this guy called Master Wong from youtube. Pretty random. But it's really funny.

I only need a few moves to defend.

It's either the neck or the face punch.

People just laugh at me whenever I do it.

Dw one day I'll get over this whole kungfu stage.

But watch out folks.

New Home, New Day, New Life

2010-07-10T02:18:00.005+10:00

Welcome to my first post at Docklands, or technically speaking, Yarra Edge.

In this post I will talk a bit about my new house and also about my hometown Balwyn as promised.

I moved into Yarra Edge 2 days ago and surprisingly, I know how to drive from Balwyn to Docklands now (due to my awesome GPS and studying of google maps) but still don't know how to drive from Docklands to Balwyn (will do that this Sunday- if I don't turn up to church make sure you call the police and tell them your friend is stuck at "ab* drive"

Insider jokes aside, to my blog readers, my new address is

54, South Wharf Drive,
Docklands, 3008
VIC

No point trying to search it on your GPS because you won't find it.

If you guys ever want to come and visit me, please type in

99 Lorimer Street on your GPS/Map

That's where Subaru dealer is so once you see that turn right into Foundry Way then left into South Wharf Drive which is my house.

Location : About 1 minute drive from DFO South Wharf and 3 minutes from Etihad Stadium

So far do I like it? Yes it's a nice looking modern house and so far been leaving pretty comfortable in here.

Now time for my memories at Balwyn

Balwyn, my dear Balwyn house, we bought you over the internet 10 years ago in Malaysia, not even being there to see you for auction, we trusted God, and He provided us with such a special house.

You looked so good, my room was initially small, but luckily my never to be seen sister moved out and I finally got a bigger room. You were white, then my parents decided to make you brown. You were opened to the street, and my parents decided to fence you up. you had a bigger garden, and then my parents decided to build a deck on you. Oh well, you still ended up looking really pretty.

You were close to many places. Because of you, I could wake up only 10 minutes before school and still get to school on time. Because of you, I could always just leave my house 2 minutes before church starts and reach to church 1 minute late given that I drive 70km/h on Belmore Road. Whenever i'm hungry, I can just walk out to Kunyit and Red Lattern to get food. Whenever I feel like baking but don't have ingredients, Coles is just 5 minutes away from me. When I thought that my car ran out of battery but actually it was out of petrol, I could just call emergency 0411449226 and he came straight away to save me. Whenever I feel unfit, gym is just 7 minutes away from me.

Balwyn, eventhough I've only driven within Belmore Road, Greythorn Road, Doncaster Road, Whitehorse Road, and Highland Avenue, but I really do cherish the moments we have together.

I spent nearly half my life at Balwyn, and now eventhough I am a stranded city girl, I will miss you always.

My last post in Balwyn

Goodbye house.

Farewell. Shall see you soon.

Bought a new gaming keyboard today!

2010-07-06T01:39:00.007+10:00

Microsoft X4

was going to get the logitech illuminance but they ran out of stock.

and no, this keyboard is not for me to play Sally Spa

it's just because it looked pretty.

Short Review:

Pros:
Good Looking
Good Price if buy from MSY
Backlight looks pro
Good thin size
Touch of keyboard quite good although a bit different to my old keyboard so can't type that fast anymore
Andrew has a similar keyboard
Apparently you can smash 26 keys at once but I don't see how it's useful for me.

Cons:
S1-S6 gaming keys useless for non gamers like me
keyboard space is more narrow so it feels more like a laptop keyboard than a normal keyboard
Spacebar is quite small.

Anyways,

One more day till I get out of Balwyn...

Next post is going to be dedicated Balwyn, my homeplace.

Moving house is exciting but at the same time SOOO DRAINING. It's like never ending packing. It's either i'm a noob in packing, or I just have too much junk accumulated over the last 8 years here in Australia. You won't believe how much junk I have....my mum keeps inviting this guy called Sam to come over to my place and collect "donations for Africa". I gave him 12 bags of clothes that day.

It's funny when your parents only allow you to put 3 things in your room. Bed, Table, and Chair.
No shelves, cabinets, or whatsoever to store my junks! Which means all my possessions = throw/donate/sell/giveaway.

The bad thing is I don't only have ONE room to pack, I have TWO rooms to pack because my stuff is scattered everywhere!

I wish I could have a Gloria avatar to help me to pack all my clothings and all I need to do is to sleep and "think".

Romance à Paris

2010-07-03T13:42:00.008+10:00

J'ai juste réservé un hôtel à Paris pendant 3 nuits. Il coûte $190 par nuit mais il est proche de la ville. Cela signifie que vous me devez $288 Tim Ho Je célébrerai de nouvelles années à Paris encore ! Je suis dans l'attente pour aller à Paris !

Je veux apprendre le français!

Avant que je fasse cela, je dois commencer à apprendre comment lire des cartes. Mais, je ne sais pas lire des cartes. Nous n'avons pas les cartes ici en Australie, et l'Irak.

_________________________________________________________________________ Translated for French Noobs : I just booked a hotel in Paris for 3 nights! It costs $190 a night but that's fine cause it's close to the city. Btw that means you owe me $288 Tim Ho. I will be celebrating New Years in Paris again. I am looking forward to go to Paris!
I want to learn French!

Before I do that, I need to start learning how to read maps. But, I don't know how to read maps. We don't have maps here in Australia, and the Iraq.

10 Reasons why Hong Kong is so good

2010-06-29T05:10:00.006+10:00

Some pictures from my Hong Kong trip:

I'm really really really looking forward for my hong kong trip next year! Though it's still about 8 months away, It will be a memorable one =)

Hong Kong, which I claim to be my hometown, is a beautiful city. Here's 10 reasons why Hong Kong is so good!

1. Super Good and Cheap Shopping everywhere! (My style)

2. Ridiculous yummy chinese food...from dim sum to wonton noodles to the desserts...

3. Shops don't close till late night so I can shop from 9am-9pm everyday! better night life!

4. Public transport is soooo efficient, miss the train? wait 2 minutes for the next one to arrive

5. There are live TVB boardcast dramas there! don't need to megaupload everyday

6. The probability of me seeing a HK celebrity is 70%- there are promotional events nearly everyday or just walk around in IFC to find some.

7. What else? Lam Fung is there!

8. A good place to work if you want more working opportunities

9. Hong Kong is also a "stop by" place for "cheap tours" to other Asian countries!

10. If Hong Kong can produce Andrew Chan then it must be the perfect country in the world

I mean obviously there are many other reasons why Hong Kong is so good, but the most obvious ones are food and shopping!

Going to Hong Kong at least once a year would be my dream!

The Nightrat Returns- Look what garlic did to me.

2010-06-28T03:42:00.009+10:00

As you all know I've been pretty good with my diet since I started gym one year ago, been exercising regularly, not having much desserts at all, and one thing that I have changed heaps was not being a "night rat". My family members give me this name called "night rat" cause I do actually used to eat supper nearly EVERY SINGLE day for the last 3 years. It's REALLY REALLY BAD. Reasons why I keep going upstairs to get food?

1. I usually watch tvb dramas late at night and whenever I watch dramas i got this really bad habit that i just HAVE to eat something eventhough i'm not that hungry.

2. My sleeping patterns have changed so obviously eating pattern changed too.

3. This is a really weird reason but all of you should know that i loveeeee raw garlic (besides raw onions) and I like to eat it with only 3 dishes- chinese dishes with rice, fried noodles, and ABC soup. That's it. Obviously, raised in an Asian family, my mum cooks asian food 6 out of 7 days so this is how it happens:

I like garlic
I put garlic on my plate
I go...is that enough?
Nah..better put more
Eats garlic with noodles
After noodles finished, garlic still leftover
oh..since there's more garlic
I guess more noodles then
Oh wait, I think I need more garlic than this though..
Adds garlic again..

And this is how I keep eating and eating and eating non stop.

So to make it short, I have been keeping my diet really well until recently i have been REALLY bad I ate supper EVERY SINGLE DAY when i'm actually not even that hungry...sigh..gloria wong..why why.

So from now on, I'm going to do a NO SUPPER BAN for NON SOCIALISING PURPOSES for 2 months until the 28th of August.

which basically means I'm not allowed to have supper at home but given special circumstances where friends invite me out, I will. but not too much.

So please don't keep inviting me out for petaling street and pp everyday!

One thing I have to say though is that eating garlic made me fat, made opening my mouth even MORE unattractive, but I know it has definitely helped me to prevent myself from a flu. I've been eating this CENOVIS Garlic Pill for 2 years now and i'm not trying to exaggerate it or wtv but whenever I have sore throat or when I start sneezing, I go uh oh sick time but after 2 tablets a day for a week, I realised I still haven't got a cold yet.

I know you guys are saying EW AS IF BS now but yeah to my true friends, you can buy the garlic pill from Safeway.

Please do not run away from me when I smell like garlic.

Besides the fact that I have bigger muscles and can do a better "passport photo" shrek smile than Emily, Emily is better than me in a lot of things: music, english, sports, a better sibling, beauty, height, eggs, driving, cooking, life..you name it. One thing that Emily is better than me for sure is...

PERFECT SIGHTREADING VS PERFECT PITCH

Who wins?

I have to admit, after my painful experience today, it's Perfect Sightreading.

Today i was kinda bored and thought of playing some songs that I heard from youtube on the piano, I then went to search for some piano scores, printed it out and realised...gg..the notes are all above that five line thingy and I don't recognise them. So off I went line by line trying to count up from C. Anyway, after an hour, i only managed to play FOUR BARS...yes..not even a quater of a page..I literally had to write everything down cause I just could not read the notes properly.

So then, I decided to try and make use of my new found talent. I took my laptop, played the youtube song, and played by ear. and yes, I did managed to figure out how to play the song eventually, but it was soooo stressful...so what if you can recognise all the notes? it's easy to play out a song that you already know, but a song that you don't really know...haha..trust me even if I could identify all the notes I could not even memorize the first 20 seconds of it.

My oldest sister told me few days ago, it's either you have perfect pitch but really bad sightreading or perfect sightreading and not so good hearing.

So then I told myself, perfect pitch is not that good after all. I'd rather be good at sight reading...

so.. Congratulations Emily. Here, have some melonas.

28 to 9

2010-06-19T03:30:00.007+10:00

I usually listen to 89.9 morning news whenever I have to wake up early to go to uni. Few days ago, I heard

"28 to 9, light fm"..

and I told myself..okay...it must be the time..so..28 to 9 means...err...what time? 9.00- 28 minutes= ..... errr..what's that..ummm can't do .....

okay so how about half past 8 means 8.30 so if there is 28 more minutes to 9 means 30 minutes-28 minutes = 2 minutes + 30 minutes back again...

OH...I GET IT!!! IT'S 8.32 now!!! and by the time I figured it out..it's already 8.35

Seriously, why 28 to 9, why can't they just say "it's 8.32, light fm.."

what...8.32 is 28 to 9? I think it is...

I mean..eventhough your listeners are christians doesn't mean that they're all smart...

I'm one example...

I think that's just the aussie way of saying the time, I dunno. Maybe that's how EVERYONE tells the time, but I don't. We don't do that in Malaysia...

It's either I'm weird, or you're weird. or we're both weird...

3 ways to reduce stress during exams

2010-06-17T02:38:00.005+10:00

Wassup readers as you all know I have finished my 3rd paper and have got one more paper to go next week...just thought I would share some effective ways of allowing yourself to be motivated to study while at the same time reducing some stress.

If within these two weeks you've told yourself the following phrases

"OMGOSH I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH EXAM"
"gg...I really cbs studying anymore..."
"sigh i'm so tired I can't do this.."
"how come I take so long to finish exams when everyone else has already finished, it's not fair"
"why do I have to go through all these pain for??"
"How I wished I could just stay on and finish watching this world cup match"
"oh whaaaat? my lunch time is gonee? so fastt....awwww"

you're in the same category as me. I've tried out the following 3 ways and it works!

Number 1

Make short term goals and take short term breaks

NEVER study more than 1 hour straight, please, take a rest. Even if it's just a 5 minute break, it works. So it could be "I'll finish 1 lecture then take a break" or " after I finish 3 questions I'll take a break" , make your goals short term, rather than " I need to finish these wholeeeee exam paper before I can take a break". Be careful though, when taking a break, try not to take a break with relation to the internet, trust me, we're all humans, a "5 minute break on facebook" will NOT equal to 5 minutes and you'll regret later.

So best solution is to stay away from the computer, and only "reward" yourself with the internet only by the end of the day after you've finished all you wanna do and before you sleep. But during study periods, it's not advisbale to go on the internet.

The short 5-10 minute breaks that I have been taking are : visiting gladdi, go upstairs and take a glass of water, call/sms friends, go toilet, taking pictures of myself and my lecture notes with my phone, , switching on my portable heater and sit infront of it.

So long you go back to work after the 5-10 breaks, this strategy will definitely work to help you be motivated again.

Number 2

Even before your exam finishes, start setting yourself heaps of activities to celebrate and enjoy after exams

It works for me. Whenever I tell myself "gg can't wait for this to be over why do I have to go through all these" I will start thinking about the activities I would have for the next few days after exams like:

Thursday- Go Tim's House and watch TVB dramas
Friday- Gym + Friend's 21st party
Saturday- Mentoring and hang out with Jo
Sunday- church and Mahjong party!

The result you'll get from setting these plans are : "it's okay I can enjoy all these things after..common not long to go...think about all these fun things coming up glozza, you can do it"

I have been surviving my last month with these and it works!

It definitely gives you "something to look forward to "

Number 3

Most importantly, what else ? PRAY!

Philippians 4:6-8

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

also, good to have a verse that you can keep in mind to be motivated!

All in all, this works for some but not for all. Hope it helps!

All the best for all your upcoming exams!

Bored? Check out the ratings of your teacher

2010-06-15T17:19:00.005+10:00

That day I was upstairs "cheking up" on Gladdi like I always do, and she was looking at this website as some of you would know :

http://au.ratemyteachers.com/

It's basically a website where you can rate your teachers, good fun for a couple of us who can still remember our high school teachers' name at least

I checked out my school of course, Balwyn High..

http://au.ratemyteachers.com/balwyn-high-school/217-s

and there were couple of mean comments on all my year 12 teachers like Mrs Mahandos, Mr Yang, and Mrs Gowland..lol...

Interesting to have a read especially when you're bored! It brings back memories! Most of your schools should be there!

Have fun!

A way to get braces but still look pretty

2010-06-14T02:14:00.009+10:00

It's called Lingual Braces

Where the braces go behind your teeth instead of the front

YAY googling this really made my day!

I can finally have braces without looking ugly or being unprofessional (for next year)

I shall do my lingual braces in...July!

No more Shrek looking Gloria!!

Byebye Shrek!

In two years time, I can finally start smiling with teeth!

I haven't smiled with teeth for 15 years since:

I miss smiling with teeth =D

2010-06-13T00:42:00.002+10:00

Sigh got a massive headache but gotta just eat a panadol and keep studying..

why am i so hardworking..sigh..I tell myself, just go to sleep. But suddenly there's this little thing in me that says" noooo you have to keep studying you haven't finished studying yet you still got a lot to do!

Oh well, what can you do in situation like this

My solution?

Take a panadol, watch world cup for a while, the keep studying.

In the next two hours until 3am I gotta:

- Finish watching Messi's match
- Finish my audio lecture
- Prepare for Sunday School
- Do my QT

better get going!

My 10 "must click" sites + My Tempted Day

2010-06-12T02:32:00.006+10:00

Most of us tend to go online every single day. Even if we're in the middle of exams and have no time for food, we would still go online for at least 5-10 minutes to "take a break". We all have those frequently clicked sites where we would start clicking it as soon as the computer turns on. What are yours? Mine are:

1. Facebook
2. Hotmail
3. Uni Mail
4. Gmail
5. TVB News
6. My Blog
7. Youtube- Xteeener
8. Our Daily Bread
9. Youtube- Bubzbeauty
10 Xiaxue Blog

I can't believe the first site I'd actually click is Facebook. Why facebook? Wouldn't it be hotmail? Well...I guess facebook is the way to go now. Anything to inform people, talk to people, invite people, stalk people, facebook is the way to go.

Funny enough, after I've opened 10 links, I'd slowly close one by one down. And after I've done all i needed to do on the internet and plan to switch off the computer, the last thing I would do is..yes click on facebook and have a quick look to see if anyone's written anything on my status/wall again. I get so excited whenever is see a red box with numbers on the top left corner.

Today was meant to be my study day, and yeah i did some productive study in the afternoon, planned to do more at night but Neil tempted me (again after I agreed to play mahjong yesterday) to hang around with the youth kids and go check out the new hong kong dessert place upstairs of Petaling Street. It was good fun though!

Quite good, and must say am impress with the idea of just an asian version of pancake parlour for people to hang around late at night. Dessert's quite good and it really does make me feel like i'm in Asia for some reason. I felt like I was in Hong Kong with the layout of the shop, but it made me feel more like Malaysia with the big screen TV showing FIFA.

It is a potential nice hang out place..better if there was mahjong there ...

oh no i am addicted to mahjong =( I've even installed mahjong on my computer...

gg. what happened to me

Can boys still grow at 22?

2010-06-08T02:39:00.003+10:00

You wish Devin Toh

Devin claimed on facebook that he has grown 1cm taller.

I then decided to google "Can boys still grow after 20" and this is what Wiki answers gave me..

Can a boy grow even at age 20 with proper exercises when human growth stops?

Answer
Your body never stops regenerating so with diet and exercise you can develop larger muscles, a stronger frame, etc. Vertical (spine and leg bone) growth is probably done at age 20, though, so if you're looking to get taller it most likely won't happen.

Your 1cm could be due to

Inaccuracy in measurement
Wearing higher based shoes
Forgot to have a hair cut
or simply,
you're just a gun.

good news is, I then decided to google for

"CAN GIRLS STILL GROW TALL AFTER 18"

and Wikianswers gave me..

Answer:
Most certainly, albeit height growth spurts in girls usually occur at an earlier age. Remeber that you aren't really done growing until your late 20's. I wouldn't expect a whole foot, but a few inches are certainly possible

Given that I'm only 20, I STILL GOT 10 more years to grow WOOHOO!

I just need to
-Drink more milk to get calcium- I think that's for bones
-Eat more protein from I don't know what.
-Drink peanut root soup
-Keep going to gym
-Eat healthy.

and one day I will grow 5cm taller ...watch out.

Please make the most out of your uni life.

2010-06-07T02:19:00.005+10:00

When I first started uni i was like..yeah..this is fun..this is new..then after a while i'm like..yeah stuff it this is boring...and i hardly ever tried to "get into" the fun uni life- hanging around union house, staying in the library studying, using uni gym, being active in uni clubs etc..

I tried to squeeze all my subjects into one day so I would only need to go to uni 2-3 days a week from 8-5 sometimes with only 15 mins of lunch break.

Reason for that being : CBS going to the city everyday, PT takes ages and it's annoying, I wanna stay home and sleep in.

But now, I've come to approach the last days of my uni life.. as I've only got 1 more semester of uni left..I am actually really regretting not making use of my uni life =(

If I could've done things a lil bit more different, I would've:

Be more active in clubs..i.e eventhough I was a subcommittee I seriously didn't bother doing much things =(
Join uni gym with my friends
Stay at uni after lectures to hang around more with friends
Join Christian Union/Focus on uni ministry
Studied harder for uni. i.e instead of just memorizing everything or leave things till last minute, I should've actually take interest in my subjects and try to do more consistent study, prepare for tute work every week etc.
Pick more interesting subjects at uni. Come to think of it, I actually really know what I like doing now. Yes it is Accounting, and I'm happy i'm doing Accounting, but it's Accounting AND Marketing. Not Accounting and Finance...I've wasted all these years trying to do Finance and now I'm dropping it. Now it's too late for me to take a marketing degree because I have to do that from first year..sigh..
There are all these subjects where I really wanna do now like "childcare education, marketing, creativity and arts, chinese cinema.." but it's too late for me to do now, because it's all offered on Semeseter 1 and I no longer have any semester 1s at uni =( sad face..why did I pick chinese for the past 4 semesters? lol
Not sleep or muck around in lectures drawing pictures on ppl's notes and then coming home saying " yeah i'll read that later" but i never do and when exam comes i'm like ...huh? i did this?
Go for Uni ball. I've never been to a uni ball =( I always wanted to go but..just..never got to =( I said I will go in year 3 uni but now i'm like which one to go to sigh.
Drive to uni. Driving to uni is sooooooooo good you feel like, "less stressful" and less of your time is spent on PT'ing. Why didn't I drive to uni earlier

Sigh, after this long list of regrets, what can I do now to make the most out of my uni life?

For the next 6 months, I've already planned or hope to

Spread my uni timetable out so I can hang around with friends for lunch
Have Mahjong after exam party with uni friends
Attend all of their 21st party eventhough it's all in the city
Join uni gym/kungfu club to learn wing chun lol
Focus more on lectures, do my readings, and my tute work
Reach out more to my uni friends
Attend some sort of Christian bible study groups
Dye my hair some crazy weird colour because I can never do that ever again if I don't

Looks like staying in the city won't be a bad thing after all, yes, a bit away from church, but a bit closer to the place where I should be reaching out to...

Maybe God has a plan to let this happen. We'll see where He takes me.

Thanks God=)

2010-06-04T02:42:00.003+10:00

PERFECT PITCH!

Tim and I were talking about perfect pitch today. We then decided to test ourselves. I sang a C and it was correct. Then I decided to youtube random songs on piano and test if I knew what all the notes were. Both of us being Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber fans, we youtubed "When I look at you" and "Baby". First note on When I look at you was..F sharp, Tim said G. We started fighting on who was right and ended up in the piano. and I was right! lol!

I found a talent that I'm better at Tim at!

Time to add to my list of things that I'm better than Tim: Languages, Make Up, Accounting, and Perfect Pitch.

I wonder if Andrew has perfect pitch too..

Anyway, those of you who wants to test if you have perfect pitch or not,

go to http://perfectpitchtest.com/

Click Perfect Pitch test, takes you less than 1 minute if you can identify 12 of them straight away.

And once you get this,

Congratulations! You're welcomed into the cool group!

7 reasons why I really hate Optus

2010-06-03T01:50:00.005+10:00

This is quite an angry emo post so I would advise most of my readers to skip this and scroll down to read the conclusion only. However, if you're unfortunately still part of Optus, please continue reading.

Some American optus lady called me using the robotic read off the script voice. And this is how the conversation went

Optus Robot :" Hi, if you switch back to optus you're entitled to receive a free phone such as the Iphone"

I kindly interupted by saying
Gloria:: "No sorry I'm not intereted"

Optus Robot: but miss, why don't you allow me to continue telling you about these offers we have first.

Gloria: no please it's okay, I told myself before, I will not switch back to Optus no matter what you say.

Optus Robot: may I know why?

Gloria: because I don't like your customer service and I have really bad optus reception at my house. but yeah, mainly because i just don't like your customers service, like, really really don't like.

Optus Robot: oh okay, I will note that down, Thanks.

*hangs up*

Truly, why optus?

Here's 10 real reasons why I really hate optus and will not convert back to Optus again no matter what free new iphone they're going to give me

1. The connection really really really suck at my house. The longest conversatoin = 30 seconds then it goes hello? hello? hello? then hangs up.

2. Back then, the deals were extremely expensive and a rip off. I signed up for a $35 plan + $5 handset and I only had can't remember, but very very very little credit. I know now they've improved and caught up with 3 but too late

3. My phone died after 1 year+ I went back and see what could be done. I tried cancelling the contract and was willing to pay the fee. and guess how much it cost? $500+ the remaining fees 500 bucks? 3 quoted me 50 bucks and the 3 lady was even nice enough to let me wave off my fees. and so I decided to continue with my contract paying $41 a month for nearly a year without even using much credit because that was more worth it that way.

4. Can't do automatic roaming through the net etc, have to call stupid customer service. Once, at the airport, it took me nearly 2 hours to reach them that I could memorize those annoying music in the background. 2 hours just to transfer to get to customer service?

5. I had a couple of troubles with my phone before and I went to a physical optus shop. The service was so bad that they seemed really impatient with me and all they know how to say is "call customer service", once, the guy just handed me a slip with the customer service number without saying much at all.

6. When you call up customer service, not only it takes you AGES to even reach someone that can help you, after the person picks up the phone, uses robotic voice to read off the script for 5 minutes, after that you have a chance to speak, but, you need to take another 15mins answering stupid questions before you could get into the real topic.

6. After my contract ended, it was my own fault that I did not cancel it straight away so optus kept charging me $41 for 6 months eventhough my contract ended. Yes, it was my fault. So i do not blame them, but what got me really angry was I called them up to cancel it, and the lady confirmed to me clearly that my contract is cancelled.

A month later, my bill arrived again. I called up, and yes, after wasting my time trying to get to them again, they said my contract hasn't been cancelled. No matter how many times I said I did do it they refused to believe me and made me cancel again.

7. Gladys was using my optus number at that time and the lady said she will send my mum an email on transfer of membership/number or wtv it is to fill in the form. My mum waited for 1 month and they did not send her the form.

After 1 month, my bill arrived AGAIN despite many times of cancelling.

Okay you get my story

Conclusion

Optus has really bad customer service, it will take you ages to reach their customer service and they do not do what you tell them to do or what they promised you to do. So please do not get optus. Thanks.

Anyway, I actually really do want an Iphone. I've told myself though that I will definitely buy an iphone with my first pay next year to..."reward myself.".

Alright to tone down this post, I shall post up some tiny secrets

I like Miley Cyrus
and

Tim has Bieber Fever.

Happy 1 year anniversary gym!

2010-06-02T00:30:00.005+10:00

Today is my 1st year anniversary of going to gym. I wonder how long this is going to last for. 2 years? I doubt it.

A full time KPMG Audit employee + CA student would not be able to make it to gym. Unless the gym opens till midnight for me. Which is possible, because my mum told me she wants to make an "indoor home gym" at my new house. Who knows, it might be true, or it might be like another "aquarium chair" idea that is not achievable.

Let me reflect upon my 1 year gym experience.

I initially started going to Genesis Doncaster with Tim.

When I first started, I went to gym 3 times a week. I kept going for THT aerobics class, body pump, and normal gym.

3 months later, Tim decided to be a Bernadette and gave up on gym. Since then, he occasionally does 50 push ups a day and eats 1.5kg of gummy bears all by himself.

3 months later, I was a little demotivated because Tim doesn't go to gym with me anymore. Luckily, my gym buddy Joanne decided to join Genesis with me and since then I not only became a regular gym attendee but also made a very good friend =)

Within the first 6 months of gym, I was very tempted to transfer to either Fitness First or Aquarena with Yiing. However, I still stayed true to Genesis until I got pretty sick of their smelly weights machines with guy's sweat smell. Furthermore, I also didn't like the fact how 6 out of 10 treadmills would be "not in use" and you can never find parking within 5pm-7pm.

Within the first 6 months of gym, I've also reversed into someone's holden car while trying to back out from gym and that goes my first accident.

After 6 months in Genesis, in addition with my little increase of wealth from my KPMG job, I decided to take ove Xinni's Fitness First membership. My gym fees now have increase from $65 a month to $87 a month. Is it worth it?

If you ask me, I would say yes only if I go to gym 3 times a week.

However, since then, my last 6 months of gym, I started going to gym only twice a week. One body pump, one normal gym. My motivation for gym now isn't to lose weight, or get healthy, but simply because to justify the amount i'm paying.

Btw, within a year, my gym buddy has changed from Tim to Joanne to now, my mum.

I have to admit that within this year, I've probably put on 2kg in muscles and lost 1kg of fat. So all in all, I've lost 1kg in 1 year. Putting weights aside, I feel that I am a much healthier person. Whenever I stop going to the gym for let's say 1 week, I actually have this 'unhealthy feeling".
My diet has also improved since then. No more magnum icecream, 2 lunches, and supper everyday.

Good job Gloria Wong. Keep it up.

My goal for next year? Continue to make my muscles a fixed asset and lost another kg of fat.

Till then, we'll see.

My Weird Dream

2010-06-01T01:21:00.003+10:00

Last night, I had the weirdest dream, I dreamt that Tim sold me on Ebay. and this is how it looked.

liao.

"I'll leave that till later"

2010-05-25T01:06:00.004+10:00

There are many things in life where we feel like we should do but either due to our age, inexperience, lack of time, or wtv reason it may be, we say to ourselves : yeah i'll do it, but till later when i'm older".

Have you ever had experiences like this?

One of the examples I can think of is reading newspapers. I never thought that reading newspapers were important for me now. I listen to 89.9 news daily, occassionally read the headlines of the newspapers, but never been bothered to fully read a newspaper or at least find out what's been happening. That's probably why I don't really know much about the world. I have no idea about huge incidents like wars, floods, vocalno explosion etc, nor anything about what's been happening with the "business" world.

If I ever had to read the newspaper, I would turn to the "fun section" where the movie reviews are. That's it.

I always told myself, newspapers are for old people. One day when I start working and get married, I will wake up early, read the newspaper while eating my breakfast before I start work. That's always something I wanted to do.

But one week ago, my financial accounting tutor told me : the best way to help yourself during the exam is to read the age business section.

I told myself, as if I will.

But inside my heart there's a tiny voice telling me : what if it will really help you in your exams..

and so I told myself again, As if.

The thought kept coming to my head again that I decided to give newspaper a try.

And so, I started reading The Age online. It has been 1 week, and I must say, it's not actually thaaat boring. Good to know little things here and there. My views on newspaper has changed.

Can you think of any other things where you'd go "I'll leave that till later".

I will change my topic to a Christian's perspective.

Christian examples could be :

Mission Trips
Reading the bible properly and understanding the concepts fully
Bible College
Serving at church
Attend prayer meetings
Listening to sermons seriously.

There are some things in life that are actually limited by our age such as you won't get married at the age of 16, or sponsor a child at the age of 12 when you're still not working. But, there are many things where we can do that are not limited by our age, ability, culture, and time. We give reasons, we always give reasons, I give reason, you give reason.

God will always provide for us at the right timing. If you ever feel the call to do something, go for it! Keep praying, asking for directions, confirmations, He will provide, you listen, you go, you do, and you won't regret. You will make Him proud.

That is all.

Stockings & Perfumes

2010-05-22T20:22:00.005+10:00

I've discovered my new phase : stockings and perfumes.

I know, weird, weird combo. Given the sad and cold weather, i'm recently into the search of "world's thickest and warmest stockings".In 2 days, I've spent more than $50 buying 4 stockings, they were okay, some are nice, but non of them are thick enough to satisfy my needs. At Westfield today, I also decided to drop by one of those asian socks stores in between no where to search for some wool stockings. This korean lady attempted to sell me this thick, but non flattering stockingsfor $20. Given my asian instinct, I decided to bargain with her. She said" NO NO cheaper, this is from Korea, I must pay shipping fee, no more cheap".

and so in my mind I quickly calculated :" 20 X 7 = HK140, i reckon i can get a nicer looking and better quality wool stockings from my hometown hong kong, and straight after i said " nah I'll think about it thank you"...she did that "unhappy" face and refused to say anything back to me..oh well..asians..

With perfumes, I was walking past perfume connection yesterday and decided to go in and have a look. I was never really into perfumes cause i REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the "floral smell"...tim asked me what's a floral smell, my definition is..:" those flowery rosey yucky smell that old aunties wear to dinner".

Those smell seriously makes me puke and have a headache.

But anyway, I did my research last night on youtube, and yes, those youtubers will "describe" the smell to you and you have to just "imagine" how the smell would be and choose whether or not you'd wanna buy it.

Anyway, went to Myers today and sprayed test 30 samples on those perfume sheet thing, and after replying 15 times to the Myers workers :" ah nah i'm just browsing thanks", I spent $95 and bought...

Juicy Couture's Couture Couture

It smells, okay, a mix of sweet anI guess most of the perfumes will either be fully on "ewwww yuck" to me or "oh this is okay, doesn't annoy me", but non of them would allow me to go " mmmm this smells so good!" so there goes the neutral.

Ages ago in high school, I used to use Tommy Girl, not for the smell, more to "hide my shame of not showering for 5 days", so for now, maybe I can use JC's couture couture for the same purpose too.

I also bought this so not worth it beanie for FOURTY DOLLARS from sportsgirl, but it's worth it =), really useful for my end of year UK trip! Don't know if I would want to wear this around uni though..i..might.

Anyway I really need to make up some sort of a study plan because i'm waaaay behind schedule. Hmm....btw

Happy 30th Birthday Pac Man.

Ciao

The Shrek

2010-05-11T22:28:00.007+10:00

Today I went for my "twice in a year free teeth cleaning" service by Dr Frank Yang. As usual, I found someone to go with me and drive me there- this time the victim was Billy Chu.

As usual, Dr Frank said my ugly looking teeth were perfectly fine besides having a couple of hot nandos chicken in between. As usual, he also recommended me to take my wisdom tooth out, but should I? or would I? I've been told to take my wisdom tooth out for years but I was just too lazy to do it because it never really irritated me that badly. I was also about to get braces ever since I was in year 10- even did all the xray scans etc but never got to it, reasons being-

1. exam coming soon don't want to be in pain

2. going for mission trip don't want to be in pain

3. going for holiday don't want to be not able to eat good food

4. I'm too old to do this, I'll look ugly
5. I'm working next year already I don't want to look like a nerd it's unprofessional.

I mean, do I reaaaally need good teeth? I'm not going to enter beauty pageants or anything, and if my future husband is happy enough for me to have these ugly teeth and stuff, then i'm fine with it. Does it really bother ppl when they talk to me and all they could focus on is my ugly teeth? I know I can always hide it in photos by doing my world famous "gloria smile" otherwise known as The Shrek

So I guess, no braces for me?

Anyway, besides that, I had a fun time hanging around and chatting with chubilly, went to box hill later to hang out for a bit and we managed to get internet on our phone for $4 a month! woo hoo! sooo cheap! 3 is the best.

Today was my first time drinking a whole bubble cup by MYSELF since Feb this year...3 months no bubble cup..pretty impressive eh.

Anyways, back to writing my chinese essay now about piffy. And afterwards, really looking forward to read this bad boy.

Laters.

My New Earphones Review

2010-05-10T23:10:00.006+10:00

One thing that i learnt today- never get electronic goods from ebay- you can't return them when they're faulty.

I recently bought this earphone from ebay cause it was $70 to buy it outside and only $25 to buy it from ebay.

It has finally arrived after 2 weeks (i thought it was never going to arrive, usually when i order make up it takes only 2 days) and this is what I found

Pros

Good sound quality

Cons

It doesn't fit into my ear! It's weird! It fits into my right ear but not the left, Initially i thought maybe I have asymetrical ears, but I told Tim to try it and it was the same problem for him too. So it's either both Tim and I have retarded ears, or there's a problem with manufacturing. I better go ask..Andrew for some solution..Meanwhile, I'll just use one ear- how sad

I can't use it in the bus and at uni because it's too loud, i put it as close to the lowest volume and you can still hear from outside..I'm embarrassed with my Raymond Lam Fung chinese songs playing so loud..maybe I can just listen to sermons, and make it really loud so hopefully someone will get saved from the bus..lol

Okay that's my review for now.

Meanwhile, I have to go write a chinese essay now, about my pets.

But how? what am i going to write about? I have no pets, and I dislike animals.

But I recently made a friend..

I guess my story will go something like..

Hi, my name is Piffy. I don't know why my owner gave me such a lame name. But anyway, she's still quite nice to me, she picks my poo up all the time and gives me treats eventhough i can't do the tricks. But besides her, no one else is nice to me. I used to bite her dad's slippers and he will start shouting : aiya that stupid piffy ah" and I will run away and hide under my little pillow. My owner has a very attractive friend that hates me too, well I think she's pretty, not until my owner decides to dissect me. After that, I have no feelings for women anymore.

The end.

I am back 2010.

2010-05-10T01:00:00.004+10:00

Hi Everyone,

It has been more than a year since I've touched and looked at this blog. I know that no one reads this stupid thing now BUT i'm going to promote it soon so don't worry blog someone will come and read you soon.

I guess i won't waste much time but to start up my first ever post for 2010!

A fresh new start!

Today was mother's day. We had a tiny mothers day presentation at church today- got some of the yags and youth to come up to thank their mums. While I was writing a card for my mum and making her overnight bed in breakfast last night, I thought to myself, when would I ever tell my mum "Mummy I love you " again?

Some people may go : what? as if not tell your mum that you love her? I don't, I can't, I don't know how to

I grew up in a family where it was very awkward for me to do things that family do- hug my parents, d&m with siblings. I was talking to Tim on msn last night, and i told him this : " brb i gtg up to say hi to Gladys"

and this is what he said

"SAY HI?? OMG SAY HI TO GLADYS? FOR WHAT? SINCE WHEN YOU DO THIS"

and i said : " I DO THIS EVEYRDAY"

just that i don't go " hi gladys, how are you? how's your day been, how's your work going"

but i say 3 things whenever i go visit her

1. OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING
2. EWW WHY ARE YOU STALKING PPL ON FACEBOOK/WATCHING THAT VIDEO ON YOUTUBE/TALKING TO THAT PERSON
3. WHAT DID MUMMY COOK TODAY(if i wasn't home) or OMG GO TO SLEEP ALREADY (if i was home)

and that's it.

people always go: why are you so rude to your sister/ or, why do you talk like that?

and my answer is

"that's the way we communicate..it's weird when we try to be nice to each other"

I can't never imagine myself going to her saying : hey gladdi i'm so stressed out with my exam =( or, hey gladdi let's hang out!

but the good thing is, that my sister has been coming to tell me about her problems, it was awkward at the start..but now it's getting much better

Our sister relationship has definitely improved within the last year or so. We used to fight heaps, like heaps, over small things like : OMG just TURN OFF THE TV, no you're closer, no i'm not you are! OMG SHUT UP etc..

or even the worst things like

"omg do you know how pretty i am.."
"omg you think you're pretty..do you know how pretty i am??"

i know it's embarrassing isn't it?

After all, I really want to thank God for changing my heart and my sister's heart, and our attitude towards each other. I thank God that my sister. who used to bribe me and blackmail me that she'll never ever come to youth again has finally changed to become a sister now that really enjoys youth, and that she really wants to have a close relationship with God now.

Thank you father. Thank you for my family.

Happy Birthday Devin

New Phone!

2008-03-10T00:35:00.004+11:00

I bought a new phoneeee...i'm so happy! woohoo

Well not exactly "bought" but yeah i'm on a new plan now. With a life filled with sooooo many activities now, I needed a smart phone/Pda to keep me organised.

So happened three is offering the E65 handset for free when I go on the 29 cap plan- why not?

Pay $29 a month and get $120 worth of calls.

I now have THREE phones and numbers with me lol.

An optus, A three, and A virgin.

My new 3 mobile number is 0430071202

Now quickly save it to your phone, and if you ever wanna contact me, call or sms that number! (then i get to use my new phone more often hehehe)

Btw this E65 can read my sms'es for me so I don't have to read it! It's pretty cool! so yeah send more sms'es to me!

Sigh I have been working NON-STOP this whole week, (even full days on sunday), and i'm not only super duper extremely tired, I still have ALOT of readings to do. I also have to learn up all hiragana by TONIGHT. oh man i'm not even close to learning half of it. I keep on forgetting- they all look the same to me.Grrrrrrr....the bad thing is that I've got two tutes tmr morning so i HAVE to do my other commerce readings by tonight. The worst thing? I can't even keep my eyes open! My eyes were half closed during alpha video today.

I'm now relying on Raymond Lam's voice to keep me awake....*blinkblink*
