BOO!

Long time no BLOG!!!....

Since coming back to Adelaide, life was huff and puff, nevertheless its been a whirlwind of delightful activities!


Bringing my family around Adelaide was great fun! Made the right decision of booking a lovely serviced apartment for them rather than cramming in my tiny place. I could guess that my sibling really like the Aussie style, from Boost juice to the mouth-watering ravioli, wood-oven pizza etc *double slurps*

OoooO...My Graduation...I had MARVELOUS time with family and friends!




I can't believe the day finally came after slogging through for 4 years. As I was in preparation to receive my parchment, I began a recollection of memories. When I was in my first year, the day I complete the course seemed eternity. Entering my sophomore year, I forged closer bonds with piggies and other classmates. Probably that’s because I held the loan-shark position XD .Third year was like a roller-coaster. Having to adjust to the new environment, ogling cute ang-moh lecturers ;D, having to study new subjects, feeling disappointed, doing all sorts of fun activities to release stress like going to beaches, attending a pub-crawl event, hosting & attending heaps of birthday parties etc. I reckon it would be the most challenging of all the four years. There was immense fear but we were all in this together. I wouldn’t say entering the fourth year was a breeze. It took hard work too and I gained so much more insight of my choice of career.



Walking up on stage with my gown and mortarboard gave me aura of accomplishment. I had witnessed my brother and many of my cousins going up on stage, and I am so glad now its my turn =)


I know this is just only the BEGINNING.


Here's a toast to all graduates of the course. I'll never forget those who has been there for me and show their support. Okay, this is gonna be like an Oscar speech so skip this part, if you like. My family and lovely aunties and uncles, of course. Thank you for your weekly phone calls to see if I'm surviving...=) Your constant care and concern are deeply appreciated. Thank you piggies for your company. Loved that we could lose it all out when we're chatting. We're all ridiculously wacky bunch of students, don't you think? Oink!

To my beautiful friends - Von, Lings, Cel for your support and love. I loved the balloons, Von. Mom said it was a brilliant idea! Could spot my family easily amidst the crowd. Ta! Also to many wonderful classmates - Zoe, Yvonne, Melody, Loga, TL, Cath, HS, SY, HI, LK, Alex, Patrick & other peeps you know who you are =) , car-pool mates -CK & TJ and ex-housemates KK & MK, who have helped me in my studies or in every other way, thank you so much.



All the best co'z our next mission is getting the license and also, not forgetting to...
Keep in touch!
Love always,

Day Trip

Though plans of going to Indonesia with family didn't work out as I hoped, but I went elsewhere- headed up to Genting Highland with Lings ! Was really looking forward for this trip because this means play Play PLAY!! I like going there anyway co'z it brings back a lot of sweet childhood memories with my cousins and their familes. I miss being a kid.


I thought we were pretty good in conquering most of the good rides. The waiting part took most of the time! I've always wanted to go on the Solero Shot ride and I did!! Felt more comforting knowing that you're not alone. The ride was AWESOME!! For a few seconds when they drop you,its as if the butt had detached from the seat. Felt like free falling. Darn scary but the after effect feeling is so good! Another ride which also pumped heaps of adrenaline was Corkscrew - the double loop roller coaster. Super FUN!


I can play and play and forget about eating at all. Felt so bad after that, co'z dragged Lings ride after ride >.< We both loved the Spinner ride! It was like flying without wings.


An educational and colourful journey of chocolate-making




As I looked back on these past years, I've realised we've grown so much and no doubt continue to grow in terms of knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes I've even forgotten our age and I thank you for reminding me (24, hey?) Thanks for putting up with my silliness and naive thinking. Here's sending you my love and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow.

Hugs & Kisses,




PS: My full results aren't out yet...Grrggrr...And now, I'd received a notification of unsuccessful graduation. The waiting game can be unbearable at times.

Friends are the Sunshine of Life


To quote John Hay, Friends are the sunshine of life

Even though many have changed, but do not be afraid as, we are each finding our own place in the world. No matter where this crazy world takes us, here's hoping that our friendship stay as it had for 11 years and keeping it strong.

Cheers,

TVB & Movies

Have been watching too much TVB drama lately that I thought I needed to get some dose of English-speaking movies. So far, I've watched the Christmas Carol and am planning to save 2012 to watch it with my lovely cousins. One day, I was bored after shoppping, so I thought hey, let's catch the Twilight Saga - New Moon. Contrary to what other people have commented that they don't like/uninterested in vampire shows, or that these shows are for lame people or whatever, I thought it has an interesting plot (though illogical at some parts). I caught the first one - "Twilight" (thanks to my ex-housemate's influence) and no, I didn't fall for Edward Cullen (the main character), instead my eyes were set on Dr.Carlisle ( Edward's father)...


Dr. Carlisle helping with Bella's wound

He's the MAN in the first movie! I adore his character in the story because he has a solid meaningful role - to save mortal's life (in comparison to Edward who just falls in love with Bella and wishes to protect her, I don't see any significant role beyond that. That's just my own opinion). But to my disappointment, he appeared only ONCE in New Moon =(


But hey, there was a BIGGER surprise.


I would never imagine how this guy - Jacob Black (who has a crush on Bella)...





could transform to this HOT, SEXY thing! OMG OMG OMG


This picture don't do justice. Way better in the movie *wink*



I nearly choked on my popcorn when he took his shirt off to help with Bella's wound (if you have seen both the movies, you'll be shocked with his transformation) And I couldn't help laughing out loudly, listening to other spectators commenting behind my seat "Tengok tu abang- ada six packs! " "Cium dia la... Allah, kenapa dia tak nak" ROFL Yes, the movie theater was not quiet at all throughout the movie.

Oh, by the way his only 17 and so buff! Never saw that coming...


So hot *fans self*
