Confessions of an Idllyic Mind

The tale of two very greedy women ...

My mom has always been my closest ally when it comes to food. We may not agree on many many issues but our best match is food. She has always taught me that when it comes to eating you should never never be stingy. I have her to thank for my rapidly expanding waistline. Together we venture all out to find places where good food is served and the environment of the shop is clean. Today I discovered something new and delicious thanx/no thanx to her. We went to MidValley again today. She took me to Crystal Jade Palace for lunch. We each ordered the Pork Knuckes Noodles except that hers was the soupy version and mine was the dry version. It was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! My dad would greatly disapprove of this because it wasn't cheap. We also the Dumplings and milk tea except that hers was hot and mine was cold. The dumplings was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can never find food like this anywhere in Perth. I savored every bite. And i mean EVERY bite. Here are some pics of our lunch outing.


The very sweet but flavourful milk tea







The to-die-for dumplings and the 3 different type of sauces
The soup version of the Pork Knuckles Noodles
The inside of those delicious dumplings. Pork fillings

All in all we had a great time laughing and catching up. Told her everything that irritates me in Perth, the people, the food. Went shopping after lunch but didnt manage to buy anything. Haih. But we had a great time.

Thanx for spoiling me mom!! Okay you guys can start cleaning up the drool on your keyboards and chins now. mua ha ha. The next time you people see me in Perth you wont be able to recognize me. I'll be twice my size boo hooooo!! The perils of coming to back to KL.

Ciao!

I cant help myself. I have an impulse to shop. Ever gone into a shop where your pulse races and your hands itches to grab for an item to try on? I experience this everytime i go shopping. Today went to 1 Utama with Caroline. Had a splendid time. Tried on SOO many clothes. There's this shop Forever 21 that we went into. I tried on 10 items from there but didnt buy anything. hehe. I wanted to but .... SIGHS .... Tried on this lovely dress. I call it the SJP dress. Its CUTE!!!

However, where am i going to wear this to? Perth now winter somemore. Can only wear it during my short holiday back here in KL. So you think it will go with jeans? hmmm ... Can i go shopping in this? hmm... What shoes am i gonna wear with this? Flip flops can r? AIYO! not yet buy the dress already i'm thinking of what accessories and shoes to go with it!!!! HELP ME OPRAH!!!




But i did buy a top from Mango. Wanted to buy it from Singapore initially. Costs SGD30. Thank God i didnt. It was on sale here. Bought the top for RM50. 3 cheers for the bargain hunter! HIP HIP HURRAY! Anyways this is MY top.

Isn't it lovely? hehe.. Cant wait to wear it out!

Am going out shopping with my mom tomorrow. Sighs .. Poor me! Shopping everyday. Where am i giong to get the energy to keep up with my "busy busy" lifestyle? Hahaha.. Girls out there pls dont kill me. M going to go broke prettyyy soon.

Okies got to go soak my feet in hot water now. How i wish i have a personal massager. Preferably male, french/italian, has a LOT of money. hahha..

Ciao~

Sorries was going to post this up earlier but i just didnt have the zing to do it. Yes the "long awaited" (to some audience only) post on my recent trip to Singapore trip is here. Got to tour the New York of South East Asia. Atleast by my standards. Well the trip was very well coordinated. Very systematic. Reason being that it wasnt planned by me. hehe. All thanx to Gillian's sis and gillian and Ling. I just had to sit back and enjoy the wild roller coaster ride that Singapore took me.

The fast in Singapore:

1) People on the streets
2) The Singaporean Hokkien's rapid fire of verbal mumbo jumbo (faster than speeding bullets i kid you not)
3) The escalators in the MRTs (nearly fell flat on my face and tush)
4) The walk-a-lators in the Changi airport. It's so fast that i felt as if i was travelling through time. The ones in KLIA hopeless case
5) The people that zooms in like a hungry vulture upon a carcass in the sahara when they spot an empty seat in the Takashimaya food court.
6) The MRTs ofcourse
7) The amount of SGDs that flew out of my pocket during my short shopping trip

The shiny in Singapore:

1) ALL vehicles on the road - Includes delivery vehicles (Picasso would be happy in KL. He doesnt have to waste money on canvases. He has the parked vehicles in parking lots to do his drawing on.)
2) The Ah Behs heads in the old coffee shops - my people watching skills has indeed improved
3) The jewellery that the Singaporean women adorn on themselves when they go out.
4) My eyes throughout the shopping trip.

Not according to popular belief, i Didnt buy much from Singapore ok. I only bought a set of lovely Japanese bowls (my mom's obsession) from Isetan for my mommy dearest and a pair of jeans for myself from Giodarno. Had to forgo the beautiful pair of sandals from Charles & Keith. Pity pity. There musnt much to get anyways eventhough its the Great Singapore Sale. Maybe cause i wasnt feeling too well throughout the trip. Was TOO hot.

Here are some pics that i took during the trip. The streets of Singapore and the buildings:




I have MORE pics but it's impossible to load everything. Darn. Will continue with Singapore 2 if i ahev the time to. Still have loads more pics to upload. Stay tuned for it okies!

Hi,

Sorries not been updating this thing for many days now. Been very boggled. Ever played that game Boggle? To those unfamilliar with it. Its a plastic box with many dices in it each side of the dice has alphabets on it. So the objective is to shake the hell out of that box and then form words with tgose shaken up alphabets. So my life has been pretty much like that. When i'm beginning to form letters, the box gets shaken again. When i think i have my life all in order, guess what, i got it all wrong. Seriuosly, i dont know what to do with it. Just feel like emptying the box. Life is a big waiting game isnt it. Waiting to come out from your mother's womb, waiting to get your first tooth, waiting to be picked up by your parents, waiting for an opportunity to talk to that girl/boy in kindygarden, waiting for that praise from your parents, waiting for your crush to respond to you, waiting for graduation, waiting for that job opportunity, waiting for the promotion, waiting to get a partner, marriage, then waiting for your child to call u mama/dada for the 1st time, then waiting to watch them grow up, give u a grand child and then you wait to die. I've been waiting, waiting and waiting for SO long now. Wings pointed heavenwards but then clearance for flight has not been permitted for so long. How much more do i have to wait? How much more time do i have on this earth? I dont have the answers but i sure wish i do.

I prefer to spend my days in silence these days. I feel like i have not been heard many a times. Then whats the point even talking. ALways been cut short. I'm not complaining though. I always have nothing knowlegeable to say. Have always had my wits and laughter to fall back on. Thats about it folks. All the nutrients went to me boobs i guess.

So just a little update, been to singapore in the 17th till the 19th, now m back in KL. Not really going anywhere. Just contempt being home with my family in oug. Staying to myself basically. Miss a bit of the life i have in Perth. Especially Zion. Oh well. But nothing is better than home. Being less sick would be a bonus though.

Oh well thats all i have to say. Shall return to my solitude now.

Sweet sweet silence ...

ITS OVER!!!

The day that i've been waiting for all this while. This very moment. Victory tastes so sweeeeet! I've crossed the line. I've runned the race! Sorry la so drama. I just finished my exams! YAHOO! Sorry to those still suffering out there. I'm waiting for my bus to come. It's currently 8.1C out there. That's why i'm in the com lab now on my own with a whole bunch of not hot men. So what. As long as there is heat. Even if i have to burry myself under a buffalo for heat i would do so now. Too bad this lousy lab does not permit chatting. Tried once and i got a warning for it. Just completed my Retail marketing exam by the way. Not bad la the paper. Could manage all questions except for one. Just bull shitted my way through. YAY! now i can finally watch the World Cup. Oh wait. I dont have a tv. And the thought of watching it together with my landlord urghhh... chilling... It's okies. I'll just catch the updates online. Oh wait. My Internet at home is F**king slow. It's okies. I'll just do what i do best. Sleeeeeeeeeeeep!
Okies better run to the bus stop now. If i miss this bus i gotta wait till 10.35 for the next one.

The world we live in today is no longer safe for inhabitation fellow earthlings. Tragedy after tragedy is unfolding before our very eyes. War, gay marriages, and now dog marriages. Yes canine marriages. I came accross this piece of news this morning. It shows how people have truly gone insane. INSANE! And i'm not meaning the kind of people that walks round half naked shouting abusives that kinda insanity. I'm talking civilised people with money kinda insanity.
Here's the news on the newest couple in the block. Junior and Suki.

Owners host wedding for pet Chihuahuas

INSPIRED by a television broadcast of dog weddings, which have gained popularity in Japan, two good friends from Butterworth decided to organise a wedding for their two Chihuahuas, reported China Press.
The wedding of Junior and Suki last Friday, which resembled a human wedding, included the cutting of a doggie wedding cake, elaborate wedding attire, a solemn service and a Chinese traditional tea ceremony, followed by a buffet dinner reception.
The groom and the bride, dressed respectively in handsome black tux and stunning ivory wedding gown and later, Japanese costumes, exchanged “rings” – decorative collars – with the help of their owners Zhan Man Ni and Yan Se Xiu before being pronounced “man and wife.”
Zhan said five-year-old Junior was choosy and did not like to mate until he met Suki, the companion of two years of her best friend Yan.
The two pet lovers told the daily the wedding cost them about RM1,000, and that they had invited 50 friends and 30 pets to join the ceremony.
“Friends gave us wedding ang pows and gifts like dog food,” Yan said.
Junior and Suki will continue to live with their respective owners.

Okay. I have so many comments flowing through my head right now, It's giving me a migraine. Let's imagine the wedding. The respective people would say "Junior do you take Suki as your lawfully wedded wife?" "BARK BARK YAP YAP" (which could translate as, Where's my dinner you bloody fool? Where's the juicy piece of steak you promised me??? Give it to me before i lift my leg and pee on your expensive tux) Hello??? This is a sanity plea. Dogs are dogs. Dog and human different. Dogs pee differently. Dogs eat differently. Have you seen a dog using chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and then proceed to dip it into some soy sauce? Dogs act and think differently. You dont see a human going round sniffing another human's butt to get to know that other person. Junior didnt want to mate in the first place probably because it's not the right time to do it yet silly. It's not the springy kinda season or the heaty kinda season yet la. You cant marry it off to some bitch (sorry r for the rude language but female dog is called bitch lor) that it decides to hump first!!

Okay next.. What's with the wedding process? At the rate their going, might as well hold the reception at ShangriLa Hotel, order abalones for the lovely couple and then book them the honeymoon suite! What bout a doggymoon trip for 2 to the Bora Bora islands? One island suite a day costs USD600 you know. Fantastic! They will be truly happy then. Hire them a professional photographer even. Something to show the brood of puppies later. "See darlings.. Life doesnt have to be all Pedigree and mansions. You can get this when u look cute enough" *Note to Ms. Paris Hilton: What have you done to keep Tinkerbell happy? People in Butterworth, Malaysia giving wedding all. And all Tinky gets is fancy clothes? Shame on you!!*

Rm1000 for a doggy wedding. RM 1000 can buy me 2 of the True Religion jeans that i've always wanted. Pay my rent in this dump in Perth for 1 month and even have leftovers to buy groceries for 2 to last a week. I can go for a shopping spree you know. It can feed the whole of an african orphanage for 1 month even. It is just outrageous!!! I didnt even get a buffet dinner for my 21st birthday! And i dont even have a bf when 2 bloody chi hua huas are MARRIED!!!!

"Eh why you critisizing me la. I just want my doggy to be happy what." The owners may say. The bring your dog to some freaking park and walk it for 4 hours one day la! Wipe it's butt after every poo and serve it Pedigree in bed everyday la! No no.. spend so much on an elaborate wedding and then separate the happy couple. Got common sense or not??????? Common sense please please please. I gotta start praying for these people. The next thing they are going to marry off is probably 2 ants.

Oh well.. Actually they are not completely insane. They still had the brains to unify 2 chi hua huas. The totally insane would marry their chi hua hua to a pitbull. The ones that does not have brain cells left would marry off their chi hua hua to a Great dane.

Heys...

Some of you from Malaysia might recognize this columnist. She writes for The Star newspaper. Her columns are published every Monday. You can check her columns out in The Star online. She inspires me to write like her. Her articles are sarcasism at its best. Her name, Mary Schneider. This is just one of her very comical columns. I will post another of her column soon. Enjoy the read!

Fairy folks’ happy endings
BUT THEN AGAIN
By MARY SCHNEIDER

ANYONE seen a rainbow-coloured sheep recently? And no, I’m not sipping an alcoholic cocktail as I write this. If I that were the case, I would probably be asking about pink elephants.
On the subject of multi-coloured sheep, though, it seems that a few nursery schools in England have changed the opening line of “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” to “Baa, Baa, Rainbow Sheep” so as not to offend anyone.
This is just another example of political correctness (PC) taken to an extreme. Sometimes black is just a colour.
Indeed, “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”, which was penned way back in the 18th century, refers to a wool tax imposed by the king at that time and has no racist elements whatsoever. The taxes collected were divided between the local lord (one for the master), the church (one for the dame), and the farmer (and one for the little boy who lives down the lane). It seems that black wool was subjected to a lower tax rate than that of white wool, thus the increase in its demand.
However, it’s not just black sheep that are being outlawed – blackboards have now become chalkboards. I wonder what the future holds for words like blackmail, blacklist, black cloud and blackberries.
I guess we could just call a spade a spade and use words like extortion, boycott list, storm clouds, etc.
But wait ... doesn’t the first syllable of boycott make the word inappropriate? Since we can’t use the word manhole anymore for fear of discriminating against women, surely we can’t use boycott for fear of discriminating against girls.
But wait ... going back a little further, isn’t the phrase “calling a spade a spade” (telling it like it is) also considered racist now?
Well, only if you want to listen to the PC police.
Although spade is a derogatory term for a person of colour, in this phrase it’s just another name for a shovel. Indeed, the phrase predates the racist usage of the word by 400 years. Of course, that hasn’t stopped certain quarters from banning it from polite conversation.
But getting back to sheep of colour, this is not the first time a nursery rhyme has fallen foul to the whims of the PC brigade. Even poor old Humpty Dumpty came under attack a while back.
It seems that Humpty’s demise was deemed a little too sad for young children to cope with, so a few quarters decide to give him a happily-ever-after ending.
Stuff and nonsense! A little bit of pain and suffering never hurt anyone, if you know what I mean. As a child I just thought of Humpty Dumpty as an over-sized egg with arms and legs, a ridiculous creature who got what he deserved.
I mean to say, if I were a large, walking egg and had great difficulty balancing myself, I would think twice about perching myself precariously atop a wall. I can’t say I was saddened in the least by Humpty’s clumsy end.
The same PC fate has befallen the old woman who lived in a shoe. The same woman “who had so many children she didn’t know what to do, so she gave them some broth without any bread, and whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.”
That one did scare me a little when I was child. All the more so because the old woman in my book of nursery rhymes was depicted as a wiry, witchlike character – that and the fact that mass whippings have never held any appeal. Still, I don’t think this sadistic little rhyme was any scarier than Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, or Hansel and Gretel, or Jack and the Beanstalk, or The Three Little Pigs.
These days, the Seven Dwarves have been dropped from the story’s title. I’m not sure what they are called now. Possibly men of slight stature, or vertically-challenged miners, or the little folk.
And those pigs that were eaten in my old, childhood book of grim tales, don’t get gobbled up anymore. They just get blown away.
Back at the shoe, child abuse charges were obviously brought against the old woman because she now kisses her children sweetly before sending them to bed.
She still doesn’t give them bread with their soup, but I suspect her therapist is working on it. By the time my grandchildren get round to reading this nursery rhyme, the shoe children will probably be eating Lobster Bisque with foccaccia bread and living in a three-storey luxury boot, replete with swimming pool, gym and plasma TV.
At all costs, everyone must live happily ever after.

Heys..

Just done with my Mandarin 111 exam. It was Not easy ok. If it wasn't easy for me then the foreigners in that exam room better start praying hard. REAL hard. Changing my posting font size. Wouldn't Gillian to damage her eyes when reading my posts. hehe. Well i'm waiting for Sherli to be done with her paper now. I just went to confirm my subjects for the next semester. Yahoo! 3 more units to go and i will be graduating. The staff handed me the paper i've been waiting for for 3 long miserable yrs. The intention to graduate form. It was like a glorious moment when she said "oh you have to fill in this form and hand it in by next semester." It was like the Pearly Gates opening and the angels were chanting "HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH!!" Ahh... music for the soul. But that was till she said. "Oh and also come in again next semester with your results slip. Just want to make sure you passed everything" The gates closed, angels retreated and i was back in reality again. Sighs. Have 2 more papers to go. Wed and Thurs. After that Yippee!!!

Well how should i start ... Gonna be a hypocrate to write this post since my last post was all "oh i love myself and all pink unicorns and rainbows.." But somehow it's not always like that. There is a phase i go through where i do love myself and i feel very blessed with everything going on around me but then when i'm alone and i start thinking about the series of events going on around me then i dont feel that good no more. What the heck am i here for? The best i'm doing now for the community around me is to generate carbon dioxide from oxigen. I'm good at that! It's my talent! Oh boy, look at those CO2 go! Sighs.. Lets take a review of Amanda's life:
- Started piano lessons at the age of 5
- Benefit derived: Long fingers and the ability to read some musical scores
- Costs: From beginner to grade 6 - Should have costs me dad thousands. Sorry dad i failed u miserably.

- Went through the schooling part of my life: To malaysians - Standard 1 - Form 5
- Benefit derived: Friends, maturity (?), the ability to bitch, maybe some stuff on the books
- Achievements: Hmmm... This is a hard one.. Standard 6 got award for Moral studies. Form 5 got award for some treasurer thing la. (which i thinkw as a scam. They obviuosly had produced too many awards and didnt know where to store them.)
- Costs: Didnt cost me parents much cause its all government stuff. But tuition fees is the ouch factor. Sorry again dad. Failed you AGAIN.

- Went to college: Alevels
- Lets not even talk about it. I'm suicidal right now.
- Costs: Not much compared to other private colleges. But the exam fees was in Pounds. So Ouch again.

- Went to college/uni: Metropolitan + Curtin
- Best times of my life.
- Achievements: Hmmmmmm...
- Costs: A HUGE LUMP SUM

- Now: Curtin
- Generating Co2 from O2. Suppose to be studying but cant focus.

Amanda what are your talents? Cantik the Orangutan can recognize voices and interact through sign language. Beastly-Boy the Elephant can draw and dance at the same time! Banana-rama the chimp can sing even!
Hmm... Let me see... Dance? Does flinging my arms and convulsing actions count? I think people are more likely to call the ambulance b4 they even clap at my performance. Sing? I was singing the happy birthday song but some Swedish people commented that i was cursing in swedish. So my singing will definately offend. Drawing? Picasso, Reuben, Bottecelli all also gonna roll in their graves. I think i'll help Beastly-Boy squeeze paint into his pallette.

Look i cant even criticise myself without being sarcastic and goofy. What the hell?

Future looks very bleak. Dont know whether i'll die a miserable and bitter spinster, or being stuck in a job i hate till i fall dead or whether i'll die tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or what.

But trying to be positve.. positive.. positive... CO2 is good right?

Heys ..

I wouldn't say that i have been totally productive today. Read 2 chapters so far from my International Human Resource Management text. Not easy ok. This morn rushed out of the house thanx to my friend that came early to pick me up. Went to the library to study. Didnt get much done there anyways. Wherever i go there is noise. And its a library. There was this girl whispering to her friend right next to her really loudly. I'm generally quite patient but when it comes to whispering i lose my patience. I wanted to go "That's it! You've officially crossed my limit girlfriend! Let's take it outside.. ME & U! Outside NOW!!" But i restrained myself. I'm civilised.. God really put these kinda people in our lives to test our Godliness. And I'm failing the test miserably. So after 1 chapter decided to call it quits. Came home. Didnt get to study much too till now. Gonna be another long nite. My pillow is tempting me. However i've allowed myself to have one ferrero rocher chochie tonite. No.. not 1 box but just one. That's my limit. It wasnt my fault. The bad bad chochies called out to me. hehe... Anyways. I'm gonna press on and bulldoze through my readings.

Good luck to everyone going through the same dilemmas. Study hard!

Heys..

Just wanna share a little something with everyone. Love the song. Enjoy the video!

It's me again..

No not gonna introduce another fave song of mine. Just reporting on what m feeling today. Today is a beautiful beautiful day. It's so sunny. Yeah i can hear some of you muttering "what so good bout that?" Try staying here where the pass few days have been below 20C and the nitez are below 10C. Today is a fantastic day for laundry, tanning and shopping! But I can cancel tanning cause i'm already very brown. And as for shopping, I'm too broke. So I only have the laundry option. Very pleased with the amount of laundry am able to complete. Cooked a kick-ass-lunch today. Udon in miso soup with eggs. yumm yumm. For dessert a very sweet apple. Life cant get better than this. So i started thinking of events that has happened previuosly to me that could have robbed me of the joy of experiencing the joy in my heart now.

I'm very blessed. My parents are still here and very much together on planet earth. I have a family that loves me and supports me a lot. However it has not always been so smooth sailing. Everybody's families are bound to have their own battle domestica and so have mine. I believe that God has and is playing a major part in holding my family together. I have my own set of issues and tissues too. Matters with friends, ex-boyfriends, relationship issues, emotional conflict etc etc.. It was NOT easy to let go of feelings of hurt that i have harbored in me but i have this habit. Whenever i get very very upset i just sit down and cry and cry and cry. The i look at the amount of tissue and tears i have on my pillow, t-shirt, towel, pants hehe.. and i start thinking. What is SO big of an issue that cause you to have to be in such a pathetic condition that you are in? What is your problems compared to the people that are in the warring countries? Can your ninnipoo problems be compared to the problems of someone losing their family members, losing their belongings, starving to death etc? Oh sure someone dumped you. Is that SO big of a deal till you wanna kill yourself, hurt yourself, fling yourself into the river? Mind you, its not a very pleasing experience of slitting your wrists. I know cause i tried that. And i got a shock of my life when the blood started Spurting out. And it hurts like crap after that. Drowning to death isnt that wonderful and easy too. No i;ve not tried that. Will nvr do. I;m a very vain person. I wanna die looking pretty. Really pretty. And a drowned corpse is NOT a very attractive thing to look at. Think about that. Sure it's fine to cry. Not good to harbor feelings in you. So find a good friend, a bucket and a mop and start pouring your heart out. After that just go on with life! There is SO much to offer out there. Have you fed sharks b4? Have u swam with a dolphin b4? Have you earned so much money till you can buy 14 LV bags at one go? Have you been to Honolulu b4? I dont think so right. So go on living and fulfilling your dreams!! Stop being such a sissy that only sits in the room that goes "oOo no one loves me. I just wanna die. It;s the end of the world for me..." BOO to you. No one loves you cause you are portraying a side of you that refuses to be loved. No one is loving you cause you are not loving anyone else. No one is loving you cause you are not LOVING YOURSELF!

Look, I'm no Oprah. I'm no Dr Phil. I dont even study psychology. But i do know one thing.. I LOVE MYSELF and the ALMIGHTY that has created me. Smaller thighs and smaller boobs would make me love myself more but besides that i'm perfectly happy with the way i am. No Tom, Dick & Harry or Jane whatever can tell me different. Some people might find all that i have just said very offending but Hey! This is my blog and i'm gonna write what i feel like it. Dont like it? Leave me a comment. Hate me or love me, I will still be ME!

Wanna say a big thanx to all the people that has helped me go through the worse times in my life. I owe everything to you guys and to God. Start loving youselves people!!

MUACKS

Introducing ...

The song that i'm very hooked to at the moment. Dont ask me why. Maybe it's cause of the Nike Rockstar workout thing. I dont know. Here are the lyrics...


RIhanna
S.O.S

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!

Judging from my expression all can know that i'm in a fantastic mood. I had a really good day today. Really awesome. I must have said this word for the hundreth time already today. Woke up early. Dolled myself up. Must look good for church mah. Had a good church service today. Good message. Good company. Awesome awesome. Met some new people. Awesome awesome. "Notes to Mags: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" After church we went for lunch. Met somemore new people. Awesome awesome. Ate in a place called Happy Meals. I initially thought we were going to McD's when i heard happy meals. But it was actually a chinese restaurant. Had beef fried rice. They had some pretty exotic stuff on their menu as well.

Here's me with my plate of very delicious and very large portion of fried rice. Couldn't really finish it but in the end i just starting to stuff my face with fried rice. Eh pay money for it wan u know. Ofcourse must try to finish la. Sorries. Its the malaysian behavior coming out of me. Not good to waste food ok. An excuse to gorge yourself silly.



Oh here is the exotic food i was talking about. Treasure crocodile meat? I'm ok with crocodile skin handbags n shoes but crocodile meat is not my cup of tea. Blecks. They actually sell it in the meat shops here really.







Had a great time of chatting and eatting. Then we came home. Aih. Its really warm outside but once we step into the house it was freezing. Had to have my heater on even. Now am feeling toasty, warm and happy. I'm just having such a great time now. Eventhough the exams are nearing, I still feel that eagerness to finish off what i have to do and fly home for the hols. Im not so much fidgety about the exam. Must be that fantastic prayer that pastor said for us. This semester i felt really loved and well connected with a lotta people. Its just like a big fleece blanket around me. Warm and snuggly. Everyone say AWWWW ...
I will remember this day for as long as i live. I PROMISE! It's like watching a sunset, watching a thousand flowers bloom, watching a baby seal wobble round for the first time, taking that first bite out of a Magnum ice cream and feeling the chocolate coating crack under the pressure of your teeth, feeling that first drop of warm water coming out of the heater, looking at your favorite garment going for 80% off, sniffing your pile of clean laundry after you take them off the clothes line etc etc etc ... That was what i felt today. Just sheer JOY. Hallelujah!! hehehe... Ahhh... Am gonna drink a cup of hot green tea and snuggle in bed for awhile now. Then will study! YAY! Le fantastica. Oh here are some pics from today.

Here is my crrrrrazy bunch of cell members. Always supportive and loving. Double kisses.

And here we have the lovely Miss Asia Australia pagent contestants. I personally think the one crouching down has the highest chance winning. MUA HA HA HA. No la. All also lovely.

Oh here is a shot of us girls in Happy Meals. With us always being in the restaurant i bet they can increase their overall profit by 80%. Cause people would always wanna eat where good looking people are at. hehehe ..







I'm feeling so up there right now. Feeling the luv'.. I wish everyday was like this.
Well that's all for now folks. Hope you have enjoyed the day and have a good week ahead of you ok?

Toodles .....

Haidiho!

As you can see i've recovered from yesterday's gloom. What is over is over. Leave it to God now. Well on with today shall we. The day started terribly. Imagine you having a very good dream. Jimmy Choo shoes going for 20 bucks a pair (Yeah you wish! In dream also wont come true!).. then out of a sudden some China man shouts from the speaker at your ears! "SHI SHI SHO SHO AI YO AIH SHO CHA SHO......" ARGHH... that was how my day started. Was having such a good sleep but then my china guy hsemate was talking EXTREMELY loudly on the phone in the sitting area right outside of my room. So i just got up from bed n opened my door n glared at him. The scene looked like the bride of Frankenstein awakening from her coffin for the first time in a thousand yrs. You should have seen the look on his face. He muttered a very lame "oh you're still sleeping? sorry" then he scurried off. But still talking as loudly as b4. There goes my sleep. But it's nothing a hot shower cant cure hehe. Then was waiting for Stan to pick me and sherli up to church. We were praticing the Nike Rockstar Workout. WAH back breaking weh. You can find it online. Shaking our booties like crazy... Good workout man.

Then we went to UWA with Stan and mags for the saturday Zion service. But then today was different cause me and sherli helped out with the projection! YAY! Was tremendously fun! I like anything that has to deal with pressing buttons n switches so I'm the person for the job! But there was so much involved in what seems so simple. The amount of coordination. But Stan and Mags were very good mentors. Stan was my mentor for the day. Thought me lotsa stuff. He also reinforced the utmost importance of occupational safety to us. He made us go roll up toilet paper, wetting them and then stuff it into our ears. It was to protect our ears from the deaffening music from the musicians practice session. Was very effective really. And he bought us pizza too! Hmmm yumm yumm... and he bought grapes n a very weird fruit too. It's called the Aztex fruit. It was written on the brochure. "A fruit that would tempt the Gods". HAHA.. i got the honor of breaking the fruit into half n taking the first bite. Urghh.... it tasted like a mango gone bad. But Stan said it tasted like a mix of Guava and mango. So i named it GuaGo. Nvr will i eat it again. AFter all that was done we headed home. Was an awesome experience.

Feeling so blessed ....

It's me AGAIN ..

Waiting for my Mandarin class to start. Got bored so stast posting again. Have got a Mandarin test today. Gotta interview the "lao shi" (teacher). I'm thinking of a list of questions to ask her. Lao shi.. are you married? (if no) Why not? What kinda man are u looking for? Why are you setting your standards that high? Arent you afraid that your child bearing days are going to be over soon? Do you realise that your ovaries are shringking this very moment that we are having this interview? Do you need help looking for a potential spouse?
All the listed questions are good but the only problem is.... How do you say ovaries in mandarin? haha... i cant even say half of those things in mandarin. Great i guess i'll stick to.. Laoshi.. how many people are there in your family? Do you like to eat chinese food or foreign food? L-A-M-E!

Oh today is aw something very interesting. There was this girl. I think she's trying to return to the ah-go-go era. You know the austin powers kinda groovy baby kinda theme. She looked as is she was going to a halloween party. Hello! Its only June!! Ok she was wearing a headband, s short dress, a jacket and boots and a bag. Sounds normal? not anywhere near it baby. The jacket was olive green in color. Thats fine. It was of a cottony kinda material. Im questioning how warm can that jacket keep her really. Oh the dress! It was coated with strawberries!!! STRAWBERRIES!! THE WHOLE DRESS!! Awww.. isnt that sweet. It was a pink dress i think.. but was smothered with red red red strawberries. And the boots. Gotta "love" it. It was white. Flat. No heels. But the top of the boots was folded down. Revealing red and yellow polkadots on a black background. Ah-go-go me baby. Dont blame her. This is a time when assignments are due, exams are coming. Too much stressed may have caused her total fashion disaster. Either that or that girl needs help. MAJOR. PRONTO! I nearly laughed out loud when i saw her. But atleast she is attracting attention. The only thing that i'm attracting to myself is oxigen and negative ions. i look like a guy. My boobs n butt is well hidden by my large windbreaker. I dont find any reason to look good. No blokes will ever look my way anyways. Might as well focus on keeping myself warm and comfy. HAIH

haha strawberries ....

Heys ...

Just got off a final exam for International Accounting. I just dont know how to even describe my performance for the exam. It was so shit tough i nearly puked, cried, crap in me pants .. My palms went cold, stomach was churning and i seriously almost had tears in me eyes. That was how tremendously stressing the paper was. Oh well.. nothing i can do bout it now. Leaving it in the hands of God and the marker now. However, there was a mini miracle that happened. I was so confused between convenience statements and convenience translations. It is something very simple and yet i can get them totally swapped. Convenience translations would mean that the company would translate their financial statement's domestic language to the foreign language meanwhile for convenience statement, the company would translate their financial statement's language and currency to the foreign one. And i got them mixed up dude!! However in the final 5 mins was just muttering God help me God help me God give me revelation ~~~ Was more like a chant actually. Then suddenly i rationalised. Translation... isnt that like translating something.. i help u translate chinese to english ya ... OHH! Means only language la! Then statement... statement as in bank statement? Bank statemet got dollars and cent.. OHHH currency! Mua ha ha.. THANK GOD! AMEN! I know... It sounded simple but when u were in me position you would beg to differ.
Other than that it's just downhill sloping. I need a miracle!!!

Wonder if that chant works with men... God help me God help me ..Need mate need mate ... Need a man Need a man ... (joking la)
