Facebook Texas Hold'em?

Nope.
We're playing the new version of Poker.

The Screwed Face Texas Hold'em @ Ampang.

This will give you an idea on what that is.

:)

And oh, the guys couldn't care less about their images and attempted to imitate him.
But i guess, nobody can be as natural as he is huh?

Told you so.

Three years and forever.

Has been three months since i last blogged,

and what?

I'm sitting here in Blitzone blogging the shit outta blogspot.

3 months,

and so many things happened.

What is wrong with the world?

I've already graduated.

But went through so much stress and lost so much tears along the way.

Seriously, I would have needed to return to UQ to finish up my last subject if I would have failed my Corp Fin.

But right now, i need not to, and i'm certainly happy about it.

Life is full of surprises.

And when i wanted to give up in life,

friends came and talked me through it.

They gave me inspiration and advices,

and guided me through my downs.

Family members were so worried about me,

they loved and cared for me so much.

When i thought i lost everything,

i gained back everything else.

Life is full of surprises.

Right now, i'm back in Malaysia.

And boy do i love it back here!

The food, the company,

and most importantly,

the Love.

Life is full of surprises.

Well, at least my life is.

2009-10-18T22:40:00.004+10:00

It's been nearly a year.

And i have to admit,
nothing would have been better throughout these months.

Yes, when i was back home in February,
i was dreading to come here to Brisbane.
I even had the thought of finishing my studies back home,
because all i wanted to do was to stay back home for, well, all of you know what reason.
But did i has the least bit regret of coming here?

NO WAY!

I had the time of my life here.
Seriously.

Well, i can't say that there are much to do here.
But the weather's been great,
and what's most important, the company's been really really good.
Or should i say, the BEST. :)

I came here in February.
Know no one except for the miserable Terence, John, FungKeng, and Chris.
*Heehee, i'm joking. *
You guys were the BEST, and of course, still are! :)
*Love you guys*

Oh, and even before that,
i've actually met up with my not-so-close-infact-not-even-close high school friend,
Lim Christopher,
and because of this whole Brisbane thingy,
we contacted each other and started talking.
So, it's not a HI-BYE friendship anymore,
we're actually friends then,
and my best-est friend now!
*Omg, sounds like a kiddo but who cares!*

" Little Xuan-Wey, you better agree with me if not i don't friend you! "

LOL!

And then I came here to Brisbane, staying with the bunch of monkeys.
( Monkeys = Terence, FungKeng, Chris, John)

And through Chris, I got to know Siew Foong,
a very good cook,
but has been recently missing in action because he spends like almost his whole life in Uni studying.
Then Siew Foong told us his cousin was coming to stay with us too.
(Oh, if i didn't mention, my former house had 12 rooms, so you can imagine the amount of people in the house!)

So guess who his cousin was?
His cousin, Elaine, was one of my Unimates back in HELP.
(Known as the one who's always late)
And guess what?
She's just like her cousin who is a very very good cook,
and hee hee hee,
she's my housemate now! :)
She makes a very very very very good wife and mom, really. :)

And then i got to know Blacky Khor through Elaine,
Blacky Khor, someone you can NEVER get advice from,
because his advice will definitely lead you towards the wrong direction,
BUT, he knows me like i'm a worm in his tummy,
I have to admit.

Also met Gary, who is a very very very nice guy.
Too nice to be true.
*Thanks for the OrangeJuice!*
:)

Through Elaine, i met other people like Phan, JayYi, Ron, WeiYin, WeiLik, Sam, AiYung,
and through them, i met many other people as well.

When i was sleeping back in Munro(my former house),
my phone started ringing, and i stared at it,
Grace was calling.
Who's Grace? Which Grace?
OH, Yam's EX, GRACE.

" Hello, wanna have lunch together to catch up some time later? "
" Okie docks! "

And i remember, that first time i met up with her, she brought me to SunnyBank,
and from then onwards, we started talking and such, and got closer,
and what now?
I got married to her, fml.
*Hugs*

And then I went to my FIRST club on the 9th of May.
I forgot what made me go, who talked me into going,
but who cares right?
:)
And started going clubbing since.
But, NO.
I've stopped clubbing for a while now.
I understand it now when they say, " Sometimes, you'll just have the mood to go, but sometimes, you just don't."
So yes, i have been a pretty good girl. :)

And then, there were Netball trainings and tourneys, in which i met these beautiful ladies. :)

And basketball, in which i met these handsome guys.
*Ahem* Only one handsome guy actually.
=D

And how can i forget Andy my Daddy, Kiru, Suni, Brian and Tony?

And there's also Alvin, Darren, Randall, JunYi, Harold, Melanie, and all the futsal buddies.

I met almost half the world already since i'm here, and got close to a lot of them now,
and you tell me that 2009's gonna end and everyone's leaving already?

I'm upset.

But i've decided to stay here in Brisbane to continue my studies.
Masters maybe?
Because i love this place, i love the company, i love my life.

So to those leaving soon, you people SUCK!

Nah, joking.

" Love all of you! "

Peace.

What happened to Sabrina Chuan?

First, my blog is NOT dead okay.
I'm just too lazy to blog.
No, scratch that.
I'm too B-U-S-Y to blog.

:)

But but, people are complaining, people whom i didn't even know read my blog.
So i think i better get back to work.

:)

So, SabrinaChuan has bangs now.
Wtf right?
If i was back home, i wouldn't in a million years have the courage to try that shieat.
But, since i'm here in Aussieland, wouldn't mind trying.
Hee. But i got provoked into it actually.

" Sabrina, suk ar? "
" Err, no ark. "
" Don't lie ar, can see u confirm suk already. "
" I SHALL PROVE IT TO YOU! "

And so, Taaa-Daaahhh!
SabrinaChuan became the Standard 5 SabrinaChuan.
Said Marianne.

*sighs*

Don't understand?
Well, the last time i had bangs was when i was in Standard 5.
So my bestest friend ( MarianneChung) said i looked EXACTLY like how i used to look like when i was in Standard 5.
Minus the specs part.

*CURRENT*

*STANDARD 5*

And yes~!
That's her on the left, and err, yeah, that's me on the right.
I don't believe i'm actually putting this picture up for everyone to see, but heck-lah.
DAMN CUTE RIGHT?
Heehee heehee!

My bestest friend is the most insulting friend i've ever had in my life.

*Peace*

How's the new haircut?

:)

2009-08-31T00:19:00.001+10:00

Last year's today.

The day of broken-hearted decisions,
the break of a very strong bond,
the end of a very beautiful relationship,
the beginning of a very sorrowful life,
the day of painful regrets.

Last year's today.

2009-08-09T01:46:00.003+10:00

My blog is essential.

REALLY essential.
You know why?
Cause without my blog,
I think I wouldn't know how to write or speak proper English anymore.

Nowadays, I've been speaking ROJAK English.
*Ahem*

ROJAK English = Cantonese + Mandarin + Malay + Hokkien + English

As if my English wasn't bad enough, my Malay is deteriorating as well.
Because I have a Singaporean friend like AlvinGoh teaching me Malay terms.
I remembered that day i really wanted to play futsal,
he commented.

" Really wanna play? Just play. We are all playing for fun anyways! Join us! At most, you will get RAMBUT! "

" Errr, what's RAMBUT?! "

" Doesn't RAMBUT mean KICK-VERY-HARD in malay? "

" NOOO? RAMBUT means HAIR! "

" ROFL! "

And i thought i was gonna get HAIR-ED if i've decided to play futsal with them.

:)

That got me thinking though.
So what's kick very hard in Malay?
I asked Grace.

" What's kick very hard in Malay? "

" Err, tendang? "

" Nooo. That's kick. Not tendang nor sepak. What's kick very hard? "

" Hahahaha. Tendang kuat-kuat! "

-_-"

I gave up and asked Laili instead.
So the word is NOT RAMBUT nor issit TENDANG KUAT-KUAT.
It's called REMBAT.

Thanks to both of them, i had a good laugh.
All ends well.
What's life without a funny friend or two?

:)

And finally after all the arguments about sepak, tendang, rambut and rembat,
we finally continued the conversation about futsal.
So he said,

" Just play will you? If not you will never get the courage to play for the rest of your life! Look at Darren, he improved so much since he started playing with us regularly. From a PLASTIC BAG KICKER to who he is now. Isn't it good? "

Hahahah.
This part of the post is actually for you DARRENLIMYINCHENG.
I just can't waste any chances of reminding myself and reminding you about the plastic bag thing.

XD

Anyway,

I DON'T WANT TO BE A PLASTIC BAG KICKER!

And so, i went clubbing again last Monday.
Yes, MONDAY.
I did not get my days wrongly.
I WENT CLUBBING ON A MONDAY!

But it was like any ordinary clubbing night.
Yes, really.
Actually, not really.
But.
Urrrgggghhh!
I'll just keep that to myself.
That's it.
Oh, and Grace too.
That's it.

So i don't have any photos to show you really.
Cause we only took 3 miserable photos that night.
And so, what's the point right?

The guys had basketball friendly last Friday.
Against the Indonesians.
And it was a good day, Friday, until i got stood up.
YET AGAIN.

:(

Anyways.

*Poor LawYiingKui has to wait for another week to play basketball.*

XD

And so, I FINALLY WATCHED MY NEW FAVOURITE MOVIE!

And omg, i really got to admit.
It's better than transformers!
It's like Transformers + X-Men + Ironman, but hell!
IT WAS AWESOME!

And i love love love love love Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows!

:)

* Faints *

2009-08-03T17:41:00.004+10:00

There's an effing snake in my house!

Okay-lah.
Not in my house, but it was in the compound of the house.
And the bloody snake jusy swallowed a rat or something.
So it was damn fat and lazy cuddled up just outside the porch.

It is damn freaky okay.
I've been having these weird dreams about snakes, snakes and snakes.
And everytime it would end with me chopping off the snake's head.
Too much of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

*shakes head*

And no-lah.
This was not the snake outside.
If it was that big, i would have pengsan-ed.
Seriously.

My camera died on me when i wanted to take picture of it.
Pffftt!

So we tried calling the owner but no answer.
And we were rushing off to Uni.
When we came back, it wasn't there anymore.
So let's just hope it will never come back!

Don't come back! Go AWAY!
I hate snakes! I hate lizards! I hate reptiles!

*shy*

So guess what?
Plastykcrayon is coming to Brisbane tomorrow!
HOPEFULLY with my spoon necklace!

:)

" And che, please please don't tell the parents about the snake thing. I don't want them to worry.
I'll handle it, chop its head off or something.
Okay? "

Futsal was awesome today!
Effing funny, so much drama!
Some new guy was rolling on the floor and sorry, i really can't help laughing!!
And I think Grace was trying to put on a straight face and NOT laugh, but she FAILED badly!
Well, we caught Jun Yi and Tony laughing as well.
So, it's not all bad.

:)

I haven''t really showed you all my or more accurately our (Grace's too) most common hang out place.
Let me present to you.

ISP,
the place where the guys play futsal,
the place where the girls watch futsal.

That's Tony, the Arsenal fan.

That's Terence Woon and he makes the WORST keeper on earth.
And S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E!
Grace, this is for you!
Hahahahaha!
:)

* I know it's not as good as the one back home YAP, SHHUUSSSHHH! *

And i've finally seen the supposed to be OH-SO-HORRIBLE jersey!
But then, i was disappointed.
It turned out to be OH-NOT-SO-HORRIBLE after all.

:(

Stupid MU.

Now i've got to admit that Chelsea has the ugliest jersey!
Stupid MU!
Stupid stupid stupid!!

2009-08-01T01:47:00.004+10:00

That keychain of yours.

Oh, i do miss that keychain of yours Shaunnie.
That keychain was perfect for you.
Wonder who bought it?

:)

I actually managed to wake up for an 8am class.
Am so damn proud of myself.
Elaine went, " OMG. Am i seeing things? YOU'RE WIDE AWAKE AND GOING FOR CLASS! "
Yes i am.
But then, i actually missed my 12pm class.
You know why?
I overslept.

Okay, i know i am weird.

But that's just the way it is.
So, what's next?

I started my first week of uni.
Lecture classes are so damn huge.
So huge that when you're just a tad bit late, all seats are already taken.
That means i have to wake up EARLIER to go for classes.
But that's HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
Because i will most probably just get someone to be there early to book seats for me.
As easy as A-B-C.
Anything to get my extra 5 or 10 minutes of sleep!

Weekly futsal sessions are finally back!
And i haven't watched good futsal in a long time.
With the whole group back in action, what more can you ask for?

And basketball sessions are back too.
And oh my goodness me.

PLEASE ATTEND WHEN YOU'VE CLICKED 'ATTENDING' IN FACEBOOK,
IF NOT DON'T BOTHER CLICKING AT ALL!

*ahem, clears throat*

First week of uni didn't felt like first week of uni at all.
Because I still went here and there and everywhere.
First was to Toowong,
then to Chermside (psst, we went ALL the way there to get Dynasty Warriors 4 okay),
then to Sunnybank,
then to Indooroopilly,
and to The Three Monkeys,
then to Indooroopilly again,
and to Indooroopilly again today.

Please don't think i'm a shopping freak,
because i'm not.
Two out of the three times i was in Indooroopilly Mall were to watch movies okay.

The 3 movies I've watched this week.

Movie #1

A movie in which I've stayed only for the first hour (or maybe less) of the movie.
It's complicated, complicated and complicated.
You know why?
Because they ALL looked the same.
So I didn't know who was who and what was what,
and who killed what and what killed who,
and oh whatever.
Conclusion is, Grace and I left.

Movie #2

It could have been a good movie if i would have watched the whole thing.
Because it's funny.
But you could have guessed, can't you?
Yes, we left Public Enemies and hopped into this cinema.
So it was awkward.

"...... don't worry.. Doug will be okay.. we'll find him.."

And Grace and I looked at each other and whispered,
" Who's Doug?!?! "

Movie #3

I dragged Grace who dragged Bryant who dragged Calvin who dragged Wesley to watch this movie.
And it was a last minute thing because we all rushed back from Sunnybank after dinner.
The movie was crappy,
but funny.
Well, I found it funny and was laughing all the way.
And i think Calvin and Wesley found it funny too because they were laughing next to me.
But I don't think Grace did because i could feel her jumping next to me.
XD
*Awww, hugs!*

And I don't think i've mentioned it officially here.
Or did I?
Anyways, I've actually shifted to a new place.

Darling GY,
I'll post up the pictures of my new place soon enough kays?
XOXO

*Dynasty Warriors time!*
Tahs!

2009-07-30T01:41:00.002+10:00

Once in a lifetime.

d a n i ™ - says:
goodnite gonna-be-champ

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

This only happens once in a blue moon.
I better jot down and treasure this moment.

He'll prolly start calling me 'lousy' again tomorrow.
Who knows?

2009-07-27T00:07:00.003+10:00

All you've ever meant to my life.

When i was attached, i have always wondered how being single feels like.
I have always thought that being single was the best.
You can act, talk, play and flirt in any way with anyone,
without feeling a tad bit guilty.
You can just do anything, go anywhere,
without reporting to anyone.
Freedom was all yours.

I had that someone with me,
that someone who loved me so much,
cared for me too much.
That someone whom i know, will always be there for me.
But i guess i've taken things for granted.
Because i knew that he would always be there for me,
I did not appreciate him as much.
I could have done way better than that, now that i've learnt my lesson.
Foolish?
I guess I am.

It's when you have that something, you'll want to have something else,
and when you have that something else, you'll want something else.
More and more, it'll never stop.
And everyone do take things for granted, just that they don't notice it.
Or maybe they do, but they just don't give a shit.
Not until they go through the pain and sorrows,
the lessons we have to walk through in our lives,
the sufferings and misery we have to feel to stand back up.

You'll never never know how deep my regrets were,
when i lost it,
when i lost him.

I've been single for a few months now.
And i guess freedom will not be what i choose to have.
If you would ask me again, i will tell you openheartedly that i will prefer to have someone.
Some who would be there to care for me, love me.
Someone who would be there for me when i'm all stressed up, when i'm unhappy.
Someone who would be there with me when i'm happy.
Someone who would be there to take my hand and walk me through my life.

" .. my heart is so disguised, I just can't live a lie anymore.. "

2009-07-22T03:00:00.002+10:00

What a wait.

So it was Gary's 26th birthday the other night at Hogs Breath Cafe.
:)
Happy happy Birthday!

Okay-lah.
Gary is not 26.
He's only Twenty-Two.

:)

HUGS!

And you know what?
I've been in Aussieland for 6 months already!
Time passes so damn fast.
*Okay, i'm random.*
And it's so damn weird how I do not go clubbing AT ALL back home, and here?
It's like a routine.
And my tolerance for alcohol is building up.
Is that good or bad?

:)

Clubbing @ Mystique

Very little pictures these time because there were only a few of us.
Where is my Phan when i need him?
=P

And i have always wondered.
Will i actually step into a club when i get my ass back to Malaysia?

MY Grace said, " We have got to go clubbing back in Malaysia. You better come back in December. "

We'll see.

:)

So, I waited for God knows how long for HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE to release.
And it finally did.

Disappointment.
Wasn't up to expectations.
And crap, now i understand why people have been telling me that they understood nuts .
Because if i hadn't read the book, i would have been one of them.
BUT.
I am still a loyal harry potter fan.

:)

Terence turns 21 today!

And guess where we had the blow cake session?

8 Boomerang Rd, St Lucia, Brisbane.
*Fml, I am so damn proud of my house!*

And guess who joined us?
I proudly present our guest of honour, Wong Mo Mo.

:)

Mahjong and Poker Session after!
And a carton of Tooheys!
*Psst, not very nice, Corona nicer!*

*Yawns*
Fml, i'm falling asleep on my keyboard.
Just before i leave,
picture of the night!

My roomie and I!
<3
*Love you so much!*

2009-07-14T03:43:00.002+10:00

That tonight's gonna be a good night!

Thanks to AlvinGoh, this song is stuck in my head since the day i first heard it on youtube.
But then again, it's a good song.

:)

So here i am alone, 4am in the morning,
sitting on the dining table, uploading pictures and blogging.
So damn romantic.

*I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night!*

Woops!
The song IS addictive!
:)

In two hours time, i'll be in the plane flying back to Brisbane.
So goodbye Sydney, goodbye Market City,
or to be more precise, goodbye SO-DAMN-NICE BAG.
:(

So here are all the moments caught on camera! XD
Darren Lim, we went to Seoul Ria because you recommended.
And you know what?
We still prefer Madtongsan. XD

Let's see, we had Seafood Pancake and Udon.
But as usual, when the food came, we started eating straight away.
We forgot to take pictures of it.
So, please forgive us. :)
We were fungry. XD

We had Thai at ThaiPhoon.
Nooooooooo, not ChatThai.
I would love love love to try ChatThai, but oh well.
Met up with John and the rest of the gang. :)

Sister Chuan and I.
I know, we look nothing like each other.
XD

Sides Korean, Thai, we had Indian food!
Grace's favourite. :)
But they didn't have Naan, so damn weird.
So we ALL had DOSAI.
Hahahah!

John's PLAIN DOSAI wasn't here yet.
We were all fungry, but waited for him anyways.
My sister TRIED her best to wait as long as she could,
and ta-dah!
When John's was finally here, Grace couldn't resist taking another shot.
*Psst! Look at my sister's DOSAI.*
:)

And nobody goes to Sydney and NOT visit the Opera House right?
So it was to Kura for lunch before heading to the Opera House.
Recommended by Serena Chuan who was recommended by Casey.
Oh, whatever it is, Kura was fantabulous!
Big portion, good food!
What more can you ask for!

And then to the Opera House of course!
Pariah Ah Glake was so fascinated with the Opera House and the bridge that she wanted pictures of this and that!

But then, some young kid was more fascinated in us cause he actually came up to us and asked for a picture with us.
Hahahha!
Cute!

And to Hurricane's for LIM SAY KWANG's Birthday Dinner PART II!
Hurricane's at Bondi Beach.
:)
I actually wanted to have a look at the beach, but when we reached there.
It was pitch black.
Heck it.
I've always loved beaches.
I shall go back to Brisbane and look for some Brisbane Beach, or Sunnybank Beach, or worse comes to worse,
i shall just stare at the Brisbane River and pretend that it's a beautiful beach.
Good idea ya?

The Birthday Boy, turning 22 this year!

Mine.

Sister's.

John's.

Kwang's.

Grace's.

Jon's, obviously.

Michelle's.

And our standard pose.
XD

Birthday Boy and Michelle.
<3

MY cousin has apparently became OUR cousin.
Hahaha.

With Matt.
:)

And Scott.
XD

And John!
:P

And TA-DAH!
The drinks of the night!
XD

(1)Long Island Tea, which sucks.

(2)Red Ruby, which is yummy!

(3)Absinth

(4)Legs Wide Shut, which rawks my socks!

(5) Sour Apple
(6) Wet Pussy
Both shots were AWESOME!

And weeeeee!
I got to get ready to go to the airport already!

Byebye Sydney!
Hello Brisbane!
Well, soon.

:)
And this is for Ah Glake!

:)

* PLEASE WAKE UP AH GLAKE!*
It's time to go to the airport!

2009-07-12T16:58:00.002+10:00

The many many events!

I know i have been missing for a few days.
But oh, i was so very busy!
First we had National Conference Games in Uni of Sydney.
The guys had basketball, volleyball and water polo, and Grace and I had netball of course. :)
We were SO DAMN scared and worried really.
But yet we had so much fun!
Had fun playing AND supporting. :P

The guys and girls were awesome.
They played so very well.

We woke up at 6.00am on Wednesday.
Thanks Mr-human-alarm-clock! :P
*No thanks to Shaun Kingsley!*
And after we got ready, we wanted to get a cab to take us to uni.
But FML, there's NO CAB!
So, we practically jogged all the way to Uni of Sydney because it was raining,
and we were running late! XD

And this rainbow was taken just outside the Uni of Sydney!
Grace didn't want to waste the chance of taking a picture of the rainbow,
so even if we were walking so fast across the pedestrian crossing, she was focusing and taking pictures of it.
Tsk tsk. This was her best shot. Hahaha!
*Oh, give her a break! She was walking!*

And this is the netball team and our *ahem* NICE windbreakers!
XD

And the guys had basketball on the other court.
XD

And this is everyone's talented pretty cute chick!
XD

And these are everyone's cute pretty awesome marvellous fantabulous chicas!

XD

And this is Grace's No. 3!
:)

And this is MY No. 11!
XD

:)

And these are the AFTER SHOTS!
The basketball team with the 2 kepoh girls!

XD

And this was the end of NCG '09! :)

The netball team got silver, basketball guys team got bronze, basketball girls team got silver, volleyball team got silver, soccer got bronze, water polo got bronze, rugby got gold, and a lot lot more but that's all i know! :)
And Queensland got 3rd overall!

XD

And so that night, we went to celebrate! :P
We had PepperLunch for dinner.
And 85 C for dessert!

But it wasn't as good as we heard.
Or maybe, we chose the wrong cakes.
ALL THREE OF US.
But what are the chances right.
:)

And we went for pancakes as well.
At Pancakes on the rock!
Met up with Terence and Tony!

And yesterday, it was Wagaya for LIM SAY KWANG's birthday dinner PART 1. :)
Family birthday dinner, and John and Grace are suddenly related to the Chuan and Lim family.
Wong and Han is nothing close to it, but oh whatever.
Hahaha.

That was Wagaya.
So, what's next?
Clubbing of course!
As a celebration! :)
And i shall let the pictures do the talking!

The before pictures!

And the during pictures!

That's Vincent on the left, and Jason of the right.

Phan and I.
=X

And Johnny aka Bob aka Captain finally joined us for clubbing!
Because this was a celebration anyways.
He had to go because he was Captain!

Weeeeeeee!
Grace and Vincent.

That's Yen on the right.
:)

If it wasn't for Phan's ugly lips, this picture would have been very nice.
Tsk tsk!
Spank you!

Take 1 and Take 2!
:)

And then Grace had to go to the loo.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry outside the loo were using the mirrors to camwhore,
so i didn't want to miss out!
XD

And of course my darling Grace came out to camwhore with me!

And we wanted to be more bimbotic but apparently,
our attempt 1 failed.

But second attempt was okay ya?
So pass?
XD

I love love love this picture!
<3

We were actually supposed to go to Bamboo, an all-asian club.
But it was SUPER full and the line outside wasn't moving AT ALL.
So we decided to go to Ivy instead.
The club was okay, but of course, i will always prefer Family.
I miss Brisbane!

:)

Let us Ber-Klub Kandy together on the 3rd of August okay?
*And NO, i am not asking you out DarrenLimYinCheng.*

XD

Toodles!

2009-07-07T01:27:00.008+10:00

Ohana!

Omg.
Canberra reached negative 2 this morning.
Luckily i was dead in my sleep, so damn comfortable under the quilt, so damn happy dreaming.

:)

So yeah, Grace woke me up this morning.
Actually, Grace wakes me up every morning.
Haha. Muaxx!

We went to KMart this afternoon before we left Canberra to get something. =P
*Guitar Hero here we come! Kekekeke!*
And i got what i've been craving for since yesterday! (Thanks to someone, ahem!)
Lemon Crush from Boost! XD

So this is Canberra.

Me Boost and Grace's Boost!
XD
My AWESOME Boost and Grace''s AWFUL Boost.
I am SO not joking.
:)

Then we headed somewhere for Chips and Gravy and guess what?
XD
Apparently, Kingsley joined us too!
Hear hear!

Kingsley's?
XD
WAS Kingsley's.

=D

So we're finally back in Sydney.
Now back in my cousin's place.
And we're bitching, bitching and bitching!
XD

Me can't wait for you guys to come tomorrow!
Misssss all of you! XD
Please come fasterrrr!
And John Han, this is for you.
Hahahahha.

*inside joke*

Look familiar?
Feeling bad now?

XD

Toodles!

*Psst, EddyBoy, you wanna fly me back on August the 6th?*

XD

2009-07-06T00:56:00.006+10:00

Of Guitar Hero and more guitar hero!

More pictures of us in Evan's-look-like-hotel-bathroom. :)

Grace and I, and ahem, Evan's reflection.

And so, it's Canberra time!
We started the day with shopping and more shopping! :)
Who said Canberra was a dead town!
At least it has a shopping mall, and it is the capital of Australiaaa!

We're staying with Grace's cousin.
A family of six, husband and wife and 4 kids. :)

This is Jason.

This is Jasmine.

This is Jordan!

This is HENRY!

Haha. Nola, this is Justin.
=D

And we had a Hawaiian Dinner tonight!
Yummmmmyyyy!!!
Just in case SOMEONE was wondering what a hawaiian dinner is, here you go!

Super yummy-licious!
XD

And guess what we did after dinner?

*Jeng*Jeng*Jeng*

*GUITAR HERO!*

TA-DAH!!!!!

Hahahah!
I look damn pro right?
Shut up Ah-Glake, i know i suck at it!
XD
Kay la, you look more pro la!

*Psst! Are we getting guitar hero for ourselves?*
=D
Teehee!

After many many rounds of guitar hero, we finally decided to get our asses out of the house.
Actually, it was Grace's cousin-in-law who kicked us out of the house.
She didn't want us to be bored at home in Canberra, so she suggested us to go to some Sports Club.
And so we did!
But omg man, the weather in Canberra is SUPER SUPER COLD.
You think it's cold in Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane?
Try Canberra!

It was 3 degrees when we just got in the car.

But as we moved on,

and smart little Grace somehow knew that it will drop lower, so she held on to her camera.
And it really did!

Suddenly she's ZhuGe Liang for the night.
I wonder why.
XD

So we went to some supposed-to-be-happening sports club.
But ended up, we were the only 3 souls in the stupid club.
We wanted beer-battered chips, kitchen was closed.
Grace wanted HoeGarden, not available there.
So she ended up drinking Pure Blonde,
and i had a HORRIBLE hot chocolate.

" Ah Chuan, i think the vending machine's hot chocolate also nicer than this. "

Thanks a lot man Ah Glake.

And we were so bored we actually chor dee-ed and tried the slot machines.
And we got conned, lost 9 bucks.
Don't know how to play at all, don't understand anything at all,
so that explains why we lost actually.
Bluff people one.
" I DON'T BLUFF! "

Hahaha! XD
Anyways, i'm supposed to ber-teman Miss Glake watch Harry Potter.
So tatahs people.
See? I'm updating regularly now right?
No lies. =P

Oh, and before i leave, let us see some awesome pictures! :)

and JENG JENG JENG!

XD

Goodnight!

2009-06-29T02:06:00.010+10:00

Flightless bird, American Mouth.

I know i haven't been blogging for a long long time.
I used to be blogging for a reason, for someone.
That very day when i stopped updating regularly was the very start of my new life,
when i finally took a step forward.
I ran out of the mood to continue blogging because i thought it wouldn't be meaningful anymore.
But right now, i want to do it for myself.

:)

" Hello SaiHo! "
Omg, this is so random, but heck!

So here goes.

Pre-exam periods.

Have been walking to the GPS building almost everyday to study.
I still remember the first time i stepped into the building.
I remember Alvin telling me that Randall was gonna leave in 15 minutes,
and i remember rushing over to the BYO room just so Grace can *ahem* *ahem*.
Seems like it was just yesterday.
Since then, the GPS building was the 'study-hangout-place'.
And suddenly, the engineering building had two additional fake engineers in the building.
Grace and I.

:)

I miss miss miss miss miss GPS!
I miss miss miss miss miss the company too!
But mind you, i do not miss exams.

John Han's birthday.

John Han finally turns 21! :P
We had dinner at the casino.
And that reminds me, he only had one diluted JD shot.
You're SO gonna get it John Han when we get back to Brisbane!
Clubbing okay? :)

*Outside the casino*

I am skipping the exam period.

Because it was emotionally stressful,
and results are coming out in 4 days time.
Anyway, thank you Mr. Human Alarm Clock for waking me up during this stressful period.
:)

The moving-to-a-new-house period.

So, i just moved to 8 Boomerang Rd.
And my oh my, damn freaking hectic.
Finished my exams on the 22nd, went back straight to pack.
Moved everything the next day, went back to the old place to clean.
Went to the new place to clean, unpack and redecorate.
And it is so damn fun actually. :)
Sounds so damn like Restaurant City where we can re-de-co-rate. :)
Will take pictures of the new house to put up when i'm back in Brissy!
Oh, and before i forget,
my new house has a big big big balcony in which we can all partay and poker all night long!
*Not inviting you Brian Wong!* =P

The supposed to be Brisbane-Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane Trip

And weeeee!
Sydney!

Here not for holidays, but for netball tournament.
I'll give anything to be back in Malaysia now, because Chang Chee Seong, Tan Suan Loong and Wong Mo Mo are back home! =(
I want to be back too!
But here i am in Sydney, a big complicated place in which i don't like, not yet and not sure if i ever will.
I miss Brissy. :(
*And FYI Alvin Goh, it's Brisbane i miss, NOT the lovely morning calls because i can get that anywhere.* =P
And Sydney is really damn big and complicated that Grace and I have not even conquered one, one and i mean ONE bloody street, the stupid George Street.

This is QVB, the Queen Victoria Building.
Met up with MY SMELLY SMELLY CHOW SIMON!
Was supposed to have a drink together but oh well.
*Huggiiiesss!* Have a safe trip back to Melbourne!

By the way, why did you kick that plastic bag up the tree Darren Lim Yin Cheng?
Why oh why?
Tsk tsk. *Shakes head*

And just so you know, Jay Chou's concert was fucking awesome!
*Thanks Evan for the tickets!*
They said NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEOS.
But heck it right, who am i?
Hee hee!

And one of his teachers actually used his concert as an opportunity to propose!
:)
So sweeeet!

So damn good.
:)

Went back to Evan's after the concert.

And deng deng deng, the classic bathroom picture. :)

Am currently in Canberra right now.
And it's freeeeeezing cold here.

Weeeeee! Harry Potter 6 is coming out on the 15th of July!
Can't wait.
But right now, got to teman the A-h G-l-a-k-e watch Harry Potter 1 to 5 since she's never watched Harry Potter before.
So damn sad.

Toodles for now!

2009-05-19T11:21:00.002+10:00

Wonderful days.

Damn Daniel Wong for asking me a nonsensical question this morning.

" Sabrina, lemme ask you sumthing. If Lampard were to go to Manchester United, who will you support? "
" Errrrr..... *scratches head* Hate you! "
" Hahaha, means MU la? "
" NO! I will still support Chelsea, but will support Lampard. "
" Means MU lo... Hahahahahaha! "
" Noooooooo......!!! "

*Scratches head*
Does it really makes sense, what i told him? =P

Am going to represent Queensland to play netball in Sydney.
Both Grace and I.
And we're allowed to choose names and numbers for our jerseys.
And i'm in a dilemma.
Number 8 vs number 4,
Sabrina vs Sach,
and NO, it's not Lampard vs Fabregas,
because that would be obvious, really.

or

So tell me.
:)

So it was to Cesars last Friday.
It was Asian Night, Reiji they call it.
So that explains why the club was filled with Asians. :)

The BEFORE.

The DURING.

Grace, JayYi & I.

Gary with Grace, Jay Yi, and I.
Look at him, caught in the act holding his specs.
Hee hee!

GayBlacky with WeiYin and I.

And this is Siew Foong.

Blacky with the both of us.

And jeng jeng jeng!
The 2 sohais.
:P

And mind you, we were not drunk.
Yet.
:P

That's EeMay.
:)

And this is Randall.
He's 27 and he's a superb futsal player.
Gosh.

And in case you're wondering,
no, i was just telling a story.
:)

And let me present to you the HamSap Lo.
Asshole man.

And this is Yao Yang aka Jay Chou.

And this is Hazron!
:) :) :)

And Grace, you know-lah why the below picture was taken.
Hahahaha!

And i dunno who's the guy in yellow and neither did Grace.
But what the heck, who cares right?

The AFTER.

And if you think that was alright,
jeng jeng jeng!

:)

And Shaun Kingsley, i am still denying what you said.

Hugs!

2009-05-10T14:54:00.004+10:00

Yeap, but nope, so yeap.

The answers to your question.
I have been slowing down my speed of updating my blog, yeap.
But it is not because i am not interested in updating anymore, nope.
It is just that i have been a bit too busy.
So yeap, i will try to update as soon as i can!

So Chelsea lost.
And if you're wondering, i am still going to support BARCA in the finals.

Say NO to Manchester United!!!!! =P

I have been a bit crazy over balls nowadays.
No, don't get the wrong idea.
I meant basketball and netball and futsal.
Friday, we had basketball plus a little bit of futsal.
Saturday, we had netball training.
Sunday, we had basketball training again.
And hell, it is tiring okay.
And more to it, the basketball training on Sunday was at 9 in the morning,
after clubbing on Saturday night!
Reached home around 5am, slept around 5am, woke up at 8.30 the next morning.
Crap.

And yes,
Sabrina actually went clubbing!
Yes she did!
But she did not enjoy the music as it was trance,
she preferred R&B.
But she did enjoy the drinks though.

Corona, Vodka Cranberry, Long Island Tea, Smirnoff, Bacardi 151.

:)

Let the pictures do the talking!

Back at Ron's to have a tiny bit of drinking first.
The girls.

John 'so heng' cause he didn't wanna go.

On the bus to Family @ Fortitude Valley.

Grace and I.

*Seemed like we booked the bus cause there was no one else inside.*

WeiYin and Blackie.

Grace, WeiYin.

Sweet little WeiYin and I.

The other side of the bus.
Michael, Elaine and Michael.
:)

The cute, sweet, adorable little couple!
Ron & Jay Yi

" Enough la! Save your batteries to take in the club later! "
" Orh. "

In the club.

See what i mean?
So sweeeeeeet!

And then WeiYin got a little too 'pei' and we got kicked out the club for half an hour.
Club rules.
Can't get too drunk.

So we were freeeeeeezing outside accompanying her.
But we went back in in like 15 minutes cause the bouncer who kicked us out went back inside.
=D

Phan was not bad last night.
Standing strong.
:)

Me, Penny, Grace.

Now with Phan.

And with Mike.

WeiYin's pretty friends.

Some random guy who wanted some pictures taken.

And Mike aka fatfcuk! This is FOR YOU!
* HOT BLUE EYES! *
:)

And deng deng deng.
I proudly present Daniel.

He was camera shy the whole freaking night,
and it's a lucky thing Grace and I managed to get this shot out of him.
:)

That's Sam and Phan.
Both interchanging shoes to wear.
:)

And the whole freaking world was there.
Here's Siew Wern and XinKei.

And sexy Elaine.
:)

And our horrible kiss.
:x

And my favourite picture of the night!
Phan & I.

Don't ask me why, cause i don't know why.

That's Sam's girlfriend in white.

Blackie showing his true colours of being gay.

And finally,
NO MORE PICTURES.

Omg.
This is damn exhausting.
I need to sleep.

Toodles!

2009-05-04T23:03:00.002+10:00

Wesak Day.

It was to the DFO Outlet today.
Shopping and more shopping!
But this time, it wasn't Grace and I alone.
John joined us!
But that was because he needed to get his backpack.
But again, he came back with nothing that looks like a backpack.
More of shorts and pants and jackets.

And clumsy Grace left her phone in the toilet.
It was after a while that she realised her phone wasn't in her super huge country road bag.
So she ran all the way back to the toilet.
You guessed it, can't you?
It's not there anymore.
Then she tried calling her phone,
and guess what?
It started ringing.
And someone picked it up and asked, " Is this your phone? I've got it here with me. Please come to PlatformShoes. "

:)

It was a good day.
AND it wasn't an Asian who picked her phone up O-B-V-I-O-U-S-L-Y.

We headed to Southbank right after that.
I didn't know they had Wesak Day celebration here as well.
But my, so many people seriously.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry were there!

But we had so much food.
And we had a chance to bathe the Buddha.
And there were so many pretty lanterns.
And what's most important, there were fireworks.

:)

So damn pretty!

And since there is no other places open after 9pm.
*I know it's sad okay, we don't have a mamak here to yum char.*
We headed to a bar to drink.

:)

Wei Yin, Boon Leng, Grace.

Both of us and BoonLeng's shoulders.

WeiYin and BoonLeng.

Us!

Grace, Me, Blackie.

WeiYin and I.

My PureBlonde!
:)

And Shaun Kingsley,

" No, i don't drink everyday okay. Just once in a while. :) "

Toodles!
'Til next time.

Laughters.

It was hell of a hectic day yesterday.
The sun was blazing hot and the ladies had netball while the guys had futsal tourney.
Both under the hot hot sun.
Poor us.
And what's worse, we didn't win.
All thanks to the culprits!
People who want to make full use of their AUD 20 entree fees,
entered all sports when they don't even know shits about it,
chose to play netball when they don't even know the rules,
chose to play futsal when they can't even control or clear the ball,
irritating people, culprits!

RAWR!

Oh well,
this is us!

The Yellow Team.

Ika, the Stephanie look alike.

This is how netball looks like in the game.

Grace, Huda, Me.

Grace and I.

With ShiVon.

With Hajah, The Legend.

With Ika, our captain.
:)

Yellow shirt is not that ugly right?

All of us!

Then we went to watch the guys and girls play basketball.
That's Shivon, sho cute ya?

SuperSub and I!
Haha.

Tony and the girls.

That's cute little Daphne.
:P

And there was a barbeque session after the games.
Sizzling sausage, John's favourite.
And apparently, yellow team won overall.
Hahaha, so we get to share the glory.
I know we didn't do anything to help yellow win, but shut up!
We got a mug each, and so much food in which i nicked most of them back home.
*CHRIS ASKED ME TO!*
Well, despite the fact that the main culprit irritated the shit outta Grace and I, we did have fun.
At least other events are able to cover up the irritation.
Ish.

It was So You Think You Can Dance Australia Finale yesterday AND DAMMITTTT!
CHARLIE DIDN'T WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My lovely Charlie and Penny.
:(
Sighs.

So we went to drown our sorrows at Ron's place yesterday night.
I had just a little though.
Not sure about the rest. :)
But here it goes.

Terence, Phan.

Us.

Grace, WeiYin, WeiLik, Phan, I.

The Champion with 3 gold medals.

WeiLik and Terence.

That's Elaine.
:)

Grace and I.

We each took turns to take picture with the bouncer.
Well, he's the only one available to take picture with anyways.

The first to die.
Haha.

The tipsy kiss.
:)

Blackie, the super sub.
The last one standing.

Lucky Blackie with the girls.

Then WeiLik got jealous.
:P

It felt good to be able to have fun again.
It really does.
:)

Exams this Saturday!
Gotta run!

Joke of the day(Inside Joke):

Jawab semua soalan.

1. Ikan tinggal di dalam ___________.

( Somebody answered D-A-P-U-R when he was in Standard 2.)

Hahahahahaha!
:P

2009-04-24T12:08:00.003+10:00

The Rainbow.

I've never seen one like this for such a long time.
It was so lovely!
And it was lucky that I asked Grace to bring along my camera.

Her shot.

My shots.

We were off to Sunnybank to move some of her belongings to my place.

Asked Luke, " Don't you have a home? "

Hahahahaha!
When i heard that, i couldn't help laughing!
It was insulting yet funny.

And it was also Sunnybank for dinner.

And we didn't managed to finish the food.

Even with John around.
So imagine the portion.

But we still had bubble tea after that.
So imagine my tummyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Can't hang around much longer.
Going off to the library. :)
Yes. Me. Library. :)

Sticky Notes:

First,

dear Shaunnie,

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!

Much loves!
xoxo.

Second,
dear Lim Christopher,

I AM SO SORRY!

:)
Much loves!
xoxo.

2009-04-20T21:36:00.003+10:00

Missing in Action.

Too many matches in too little time.

First, there was Chelsea-Liverpool.
Then there was ManchesterUnited-Porto.

Just the day before yesterday there was Chelsea-Arsenal.
And yesterday there was ManchesterUnited-Everton.

Not only that,
later there will be Liverpool-Arsenal,
and Chelsea-Barca,
and ManchesterUnited-Arsenal,
and Chelsea-Everton.

Crazy.

And as you know Aussie time is 2 hours ahead,
midweek EPL matches are at 5.00am,
champions league matches are at 4.45am,
FA cup matches are at 2.00am,
normal EPL matches are at 2.00am.

Big deal, you say?

The frequent buses stop functioning after 12am.
There's only a bus every hour.
So, once you miss a bus, that's it.
Gotta wait another hour.
And it's freezing cold now.
Seriously.

So, it was to Pig 'n' Whistle the other day for Chelsea-Arsenal!

Lovelymoon.

Grace, Terence.

Chris's gonna-be portrait picture.

John, Chris, Grace, Terence.

The four of us.

Blur picture (Thanks to the cameraperson).

Grace, Me, Chris, Terence.

Grace & I!

Take 1, Take 2!
:)

And then we had a not-very-interesting match of Chelsea-Arsenal.
But hell, being a Chelsea fan is so damn difficult and saddening.
Everywhere i go, i stand alone.
Back in Malaysia, it was like that.
Here, it is still like that.
The whole Pig 'n' Whistle roared when Arsenal scored.
But when Chelsea scored, you can even hear a pin drop.
Saddening, SO DAMN saddening.

And there are still so many MU supporters around here.
Sighs.
Yesterday we went over to ShiVon's place to watch MU-Everton.
And i was actually sitting on the fence, wondering who to support.
Because i really to watch an exciting finals, so it was better if MU had won.
But when it reached the penalties, i somehow jumped to the Everton side of the fence.
I can never ever support MU.
Just can't.
*And nope, Everton played really good.*

So Grace has been crashing at our place for 2 nights in a row.
And will be here again for the next few days.
And i just found my new shopping partner!
:)
And it was to Madtongsan for dinner.

Grace, Terence.

John, Me.

Me, Grace.

Grace, Terence. Again.

Classes started again today.
:(
But it doesn't stop me from shopping!
:)

The one thing you wouldn't wanna miss!

*Muax!*

2009-04-15T03:34:00.003+10:00

Toppled timing.

I have been sleeping at 7 am in the morning,
and waking up at 5pm just in time to bathe and have dinner.

:)

I can't sleep early anymore.
Not a single yawn before the sky turns bright.

How now brown cow?

So as you know it's Easter hols now, and Pilot came over,
it's time for another shopping spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
At Harbour Town, Gold Coast of course.

:)

Rise and shine at 7am.

Mr. Ah Muk decided to tag along.

Take 1 failed as you know why.

Me, Chris, John.

Buford the AhMuk.

John, Buford.

Terence, Me, Pilot.

Just LOOK AT Terence's hiao face!

Chris, John.

How can we miss out my favourite yum char pastime?
:)

Tau Foo lo & Ah Muk.

Me, AhMuk.

The Four.

I shouted "Gimme some lancee face!" and Chris smiled.
O.O

After 5pm, Harbour Town is actually a nice place to go window shopping u know.

Ah Muk complained, " WEI! My position hardest wei! "

So that was our HarbourTown day.
Although we had to wait for the train for nearly 2 hours, we had fun.
Not too sure about them actually, but I HAD FUN.
Because i had one of my best buys!

Gotta scram for now.
Be backs later.

2009-04-11T00:40:00.004+10:00

Revealing TWO proud Manchester United Fans.

O m g.

I've really never seen MU played that way before in my 20 years of life.

UNBELIEVABLE UNDERSTANDING.

ASTONISHING CONSIDERATION.

INCREDIBLE KINDNESS.

Seriously, they were so symphathetic.

So symphathetic that they had to give Porto their chances first.

Oh,

Manchester United!

Oh heaven,

Why are both my dearest friends MU fans?

*Sighs*

2009-04-09T06:40:00.002+10:00

Revealing a proud Chelsea fan.

O m g.

I've really never seen Chelsea play that way in a million years.

Seriously, they were so good.

Fluent passes.

Fantastic finish.

Flawless technique.

Seriously, they were so good.

So good that i have to notice the inattentively careless Frank Lampard.

Nonetheless,

Go Chelsea!

And right now I need my sleep,
as I have a paper to sit for in 4 hours time.

:)

2009-04-06T19:46:00.005+10:00

The many many moments I miss.

Beware readers, this will be a very emotional post.
Bear it, or leave it.

My dirtiest(according to Marianne), yet most comfortable(according to me) room

I miss the air I breathe, the fabric I touch.
I miss the way my room was.
I miss the so many things in my room.
I miss my more than comfortable bed, my lonely bolster left back home, my soft dolphin comforter.
I miss almost everything back in my room, except for nothing.

2. The people who brought me into this world

I miss the way we gossip and laugh at each other,
the way they scold me to show their love for me,
the way they cared.
I miss watching football with my dad in the middle of the night.
I miss the way my mom calls Lampard " Jambak, the mosquito repellant".
I miss mamak time with my auntie.
I miss the gossips with my annoying sister. *smiles innocently*
I miss home.

3. The person i spent most of my time with for the past 3 years of my life

I miss every moment.
Enough said.

4. The person i've known for my 15 years of life

I miss our masak-masak moments.
I miss the late night suppers + gossips.
I miss the crazily fun times.
I miss the 'can-you-please-hurry-up-and-just-buy-it!' shopping moments.
I miss our crazy mahjong sesssionss!

5. My XS

I miss the aroma in your Kenari.
I miss the comfortable hugs you've given me when I needed it.
I miss the Muah Chee you made for my birthday.
I miss having you around, really.

6. The lovely couple who are my best of friends

I miss the Starbucks counselling session in which you both ended up in a Tetris competition.
I miss the mahjong sessions we had.
I miss futsal sessions.
I miss the shopping moments we had.
I miss the crazy you, YapKetWai and i miss the lovely you, GraceYongYiXiang.
You both always make my day, and i miss that.

7. The girly girly sessions

I miss camwhoring.
I miss the yum char sessions, the moments we had together.
I miss the gossips we had.
The more the merrier.

8. The whole group of them

I miss the times when we needed to run away from prefects in school,
when we hid under the tables in the Chemistry lab,
when we skipped class by taking pictures for clubs and societies for the whole day,
when we passed drinks in the canteen to the other end of the table by stealing a sip,
when we skipped classes by staying in the boys toilet,
the up moments we had during prom.

I miss the times when we had each other.

Finally,

I miss me.

Miss the people I had in my life in the past,
the way everything was,
the moments i did not appreciate.

If only,
if only miracle happens.

2009-04-04T23:38:00.002+10:00

Cold, wet, gloomy.

Shaun Kingsley asked me to update my blog.

" Yes Boss! "

So i must update my blog.

The other day, i was actually at Toowong Village getting myself a nice stripey blue mug for coffee.
And the queue was bloody long, plus it was moving like a tortoise towards the cashier.
So i was standing there, eyes browsing through the shelves nearby to spot for anything,
anything at all that i might want to get when suddenly,

" Hi, are you wearing colour contacts? "

I turned back,

" Yes i am. "

And he continued,

" That's a beautiful colour on you. "

And that made me stare at his eyes instead to make out what colour were his eyes.
And they were BLUE.
And the only person i thought of was MICHAEL CHIN!!!
*Michael digs girls AND guys with blue eyes. Apparently, he gets turned on.* =D

I was deep in thoughts for a while before i actually realised that it was already my turn to pay.

" You're getting only one mug? Not expecting any company? Maybe i can get your number and i can go over to keep you company. "

And i was like WHHATT, NO WAY!
And the cashier saved my ass by shifting the attention back to her, " It's 7.40 please. "

I paid, smiled and walked off to look for FungKeng.

What a day that was.
And yes, i am quite conservative.

Quite.

So,

I'm actually having my mid terms now.
And it's sad, because mid terms are before and after Easter.
So that means that during Easter break, there is still a heavy burden on our minds.
The heavy burden, namely External Reporting Issues.
Sobs.

Just finished my first paper this morning.
Corporations Law - open book, 30 MCQ Questions, 60 minutes plus 10 minutes perusal time.
And guess what?
I barely scraped through, because i stopped right on the dot when they said " Stop writing! ".
But i actually changed an answer after they said " Stop writing! ", so yeah. :)
So it's not easy even when they say it's open book and it's MCQ questions.
Seriously.

But it's cool.
Because i only started studying one day before exams.
It's weird and the studying mood is driving me crazy.
I can actually wake up from sleep one day and feel like studying,
but some other day i will have no mood to study at all.
So i guess yesterday was my lucky day.
I actually woke up at 11.30 am and studied til about 6 something straight.
*But i had to anyway, i had 4 chapters to finish, 4 boring chapters.*

Somewhere in the middle, my Gy called and brighten up my day.

Dear Gy, i hope you found your handbag.

My sistaaa called to gossip gossip too. (But mainly was to ask for directions to any Coffeebean in Melbourne)

Dear Sistaa, i hope your found your drug.

While yesterday was a productive day, today sucks.
Everything did not go well.
Fine, ALMOST everything then.

First, my dear little Shaun Kingsley did not wish me good luck for my exams this morning. What a lousy friend!
SPANK YOU!

Second, there was a bubble on my finger and i burst it, and now it's hurting me like crap.

Third, the muscles on my left thighs are pulling like crazy and it's making me super uncomfortable. Or it may be the bones being slightly out of place.

Fourth, i did my laundry this afternoon, laid it behind the house to sun, and when i came back, i found bird shit on my snoopy T-shirt.

Fifth, there's no fifth.

Not yet.

The only thing, which should be the most important thing, which I think went well today was my Corps Law paper.

I'm lost with words, totally speechless.

The days of distractions.

The days here have been so dull, hectic, boring, exciting.
So contradicting.
I don't even know how to describe it myself.

My exams are next week,
i'm definitely not prepared.

What in the world am i doing?

But then i woke up one morning,
with a knock on my door.

" Abeee! The scholarship results are out! "

And i freaked out.

" So what if i didn't get it.
No, i need to get the scholarship. It should be okay.
No, there's still a possibility that i won't get it. John got a full scholarship.
But my results are not bad, so there is also a possibility that i will get it.
Oh, heck this shit! "

And i clicked the button.

And HELL YES, I GOT IT!

Oh my God, i have never dreamt that this day would come.
A full scholarship worth of AUD 24,500.

A dream come true.

Really a dream come true.

I actually went for my first netball practice after about what, two years or so?
*Don't be jealous SookTeng!*
And it never felt better.
I never realised that i have actually missed netball so much that when i played yesterday,
i enjoyed it a hundred per cent although i had to bear with my body aches today.
I had so much fun,
until,

" Abee, we gotta go now. Cause i just got a call from FungKeng. They are bringing Buford to the hospital now. He's got a short-term memory loss. "

" WHAT?!?!? "

Apparently, he was playing soccer with some really huge guys with Terence on the field right outside our house.
And when he was having the ball, someone tackled him from behind.
And he fell backwards, head first.
And he was slightly unconscious for about a minute.
And the first thing he asked when he woke up was, " Where am i? What am i doing here? "
And he went on asking, " What did i do the whole day today? How come i'm here? "
And it's an experience you would never want to experience.

The funny part in this whole experience part was,

" Terence, tell me. Do i have a girlfriend? Do i do i? "
" Buford, what's your girlfriend's number? "

And he actually managed to spell out his girlfriend's number right away.
Hahaha.
Amazing, what Love can do.

The terrible part was that he had to wait 5 hours before the doctor finally consulted him.
And guess what?
After 5 hours of time-wasting, the doctor said,

" There should be nothing serious. But if you insist, I suggest you to consult a specialist to perform a scan if you are worried. Or if you can wait, you can kindly wait outside until we looked at other patients in which may take quite a while. "

What. the. hell.
If someone would have been dying, he would have been dead by now.
What. the. crap.

Talk about being slow back in Malaysia.
Trust me, it's worse here.

There was another case.
A friend's friend actually broke his leg while playing sports.
Where you can really see that the two bones weren't connecting with each other anymore.
Imagine the pain okay?
So they called an ambulance, and the nurse asked him,
" Is it very painful? Can you still hold it? "
It is a normal thing to answer yes right?
I mean, you won't go answering, " No, i'm going to DIE. COME NOW. "
So, he answered, " Yes. "

And guess what again?
The ambulance arrived 2 hours later.

The moral of the story is pretend to die even if you are not.
It is the fastest way to get you attended to.

And ShiVon just called.
I'm supposed to be out there for my first futsal training.
But damn it, my muscles are aching too much.

I better go get some rest.

To the one(s) playing Semi-Pro doubles today,

All De Best!

*hugs*

She.

She was once loved so deeply by her love.
She was once cared for so much by her friends.
She was once so beautifully fortunate.

But she took no notice, showed no realisation.
She foolishly took things for granted.
She thoughtlessly expressed no appreciation.

And now, she is full of regrets.
She feels awfully lonely, when she's left alone with her thoughts.
She has lost almost everything, everyone who were once so important in her life.
Who still are.
When will this ever end?
When will she ever get to feel the way she felt once again?

She wonders.

I wonder.

2009-03-23T21:43:00.004+10:00

A place to stay.

So, i've been here for a month plus?

Settled down?
Yes.

Comfortable?
Probably.

But there is always no place like home.
No where more comfortable than your own room, your own bed, your own smell, your own place to stay.
And you know it.

Emotional?
Yes i am. Because i miss home. So damn much.

So here you go.
My temporary room.
But i guess i got to make the best out of it.
Shouldn't I?

First, please don't ask me to clean my room Marianne Chung.
I took these pictures when i just moved in. So yeah, it's a bit messy then.
Second, I am part of my room.
So i deserve to be in the pictures, ya?

Emotional?
I still am. Because i feel emotional. So damn emotional.

But i guess i got to do what i got to do.

Right?

2009-03-22T03:04:00.003+10:00

Music of the Sun.

My day started beautifully today.
With the help of my Gy, of course.

* Decode by Paramore playing loudly in my handbag *

" Who's calling me so early in the morning? "

And when i saw Gy calling,
it made me smile.

It's prolly my first smile of the day.

:)

Some of us decided to go down to Gold Coast today for a little shopping.
And experience, for me.
Took a bus to the train station, an one hour train to Helensvale Station, and another bus to Harbour Town.
And it seemed like we reached there in a blink of an eye.
You know why?
I was actually asleep throughout the whole journey.
Both John and I.

:)

And i learnt that in Australia, an iPod is the most essential thing to carry with you.
IT HAS TO BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
If not, you'll regret it. Like really really really regret it.

:)

So there were no pictures on the way, because, yes, you should know why.
But here you go. At the destination. :)

Mr Pan and Blackie

" Eh abee, can take faster ar? Super heavy okay this thing! "

We had Sushi for lunch.
And as i don't really fancy sushi, the thing i liked best during lunch were the mirrors on the wall.
Vain?
No no, not at all.
:)

'

" Pose pose! Take picture! "
" Okay okay, i wanna flash flash my Polo Ralph Lauren bag! "
* Psssttt... They bought Polo Tee for AUD 69 only. *

Damage done.

After shopping, we decided to walk to SouthBank for ice cream.
Yes, that's dinner.
Because the ice cream is so filling and nice that i can have that for dinner anytime.

So we walked all the way passed the casino, the ferris wheel, the public pool, and the artificial public beach.
Just to reach the ever so addictive Cold Rock ice cream store.

And finally,
my Cookies and Cream mixed with Cookie Dough.

It was worth all the walk.
:)

And something, or i should say someone, made my day better.
You can guess it can't you?

Edward framed up.

2009-03-21T00:30:00.003+10:00

Insanely in love with.

Edward.

Cullen.

Oh my crap.
I've been watching Twilight so much.
Reading the books yet again.
My notebook's wallpaper is now Edward instead of Lampard.
My phone's theme is Edward.
My iTunes has a Twilight Soundtrack playlist.

Am i going crazy?

I'm not, right?

Omg. Edward.

Siiggghhhssss.

Basketball was this morning at 9am.
So, yesterday night,

" John, knock on my door at 8.15am okay? Wake me up. Thanks! "

And this morning,
*Knocks knocks knocks!*

" I don't feeel like going anymoreeee. You go. "

I felt so damn tired and lazy this morning.
So, goodbye basketball, hello bed.

And i was supposed to wake Simon up.
Simon who?
Chow Simon, who just lost 50 bucks at The Crown last night. :)

" O M G.. Smelly! You did not wake me up! O m g !!! "

Sorry sorry, i did not have the strength to even lift up my phone to type a message.
Sorry sorry. =D

" For that, you owe me one dinner okay? "
" Okay. How does indo mee goreng candle light dinner sound? "
" Cheapskateeee! At least candle light dinner with lamb chop lar! "
" Take it or leaavvee itttt. "
" Since like that, okay lar. No choice. "

Look who's the cheapskate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

So i went to meet up with Grace this afternoon for lunch.
We had lunch at Malayan Corner.
And omg, the aroma, the ambience, the food, so MALAYSIANISED!
Felt like i was back home!
So i had what i loved to have when i was back home.

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin
:)

And Grace had Bak Kut Teh!
:)

And we had Tau Foo Fah for dessert!

Taste super super good okay?
Of course they taste better back home.
But it's the closest we can get.
So i'm not actually complaining.

Had so much for lunch, felt so damn bloated.
But before i knew it, it was time for dinner.
And my Uncle TeikFook and his family brought me out for dinner.
We had dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe.
Famous for steaks.
So i had a Garlic Mushroom Prime Rib.
And it tasted SUPERB.
:)

Seemed like a good food day for me ya?

:)

And then my uncle brought me to Mt. Coot-tha.
It's a look out point.
Similar to MiniGenting back home.
But this one has a superbbbbbb view.

I. love. my. camera.

:)

2009-03-19T23:09:00.003+10:00

I'm waiting, i'm waiting.

Desperately?

No, not desperately.

No.

Woke up for class this morning.

Crap.

I felt like i didn't sleep at all.
I must have been dreaming all night then.
It is always because of my dreams that i get so tired in the morning.
And i do sort of remember actually.
I think i got chased by an infested dog in my dream.

*shakes head*
Too much of Left4Dead.
I think i better stop.
Or maybe, it was because of Resident Evil, in which i just watched last week.

*shakes head again*
I think i better stop watching movies too.
I actually finished the whole 'The Four' chinese drama in two days.
And i'm actually planning to start watching 'The Gem of Life'.
Is it worth watching at all?
Anyone?

And I called home just now!
Omg.
I miss the family!
I miss mom, dad, aunt, JORDAN & JAREN!!!
My naughty monkeys.
What am i going to do without them!

" Jordan Leeeeee!! "
" Abeeeeeeeeeee!! " (Yes, they call me Abee. Actually, everyone calls me Abee.)
" Miss meeeeeee?? "
" Yeeeaaaaaaaaa!! "
" A lot a lottt? "
" Yeaaaaaaaaaa! "

And then, paused a while,

" Abeeeee, my ku-ku painful. "
" Wat?! Why?! Your friends beat you up in school? "
" YALAH! They beat me!!! "
" What?! "

Then mom came on,

" Maaaaa, what happened to his ku-ku? Friends beat him? "
" You listeeen to him lar! He's bullshitting. His ku-ku infected lar. And his friends doesn't beat him, HE BITES THEM. "
" Omg. "

Such a big little liar.
Seriously.

Oh, but i miss him. :(

2009-03-18T20:01:00.003+10:00

Have I finally?

Are you, you and you going to give me the strength I need?

Yes?
No?

My eyes are crazily tired as I haven't gotten enough of sleep last night.
Lack of sleep on the previous night = Zombie on the following day.

Marianne was being so very helpful,

" Abee, please please go to sleep wei! "
" I will, i will later. "
" It's 5am there wei, what the heck u doing. "
" Doing tutorials le. "
" Don't need do tutorials one. Like me. Haha. "
" Here different lar, must at least try doing first. Sides, can't sleep yet. "
" Please go to sleep lar. From the pictures i saw, you looked horrible. "

Do I really?
Sighs.

A bright, sunny day for Uni.
It's great how our classes start at 2pm most of the days.

*No look like zombie ya?*

And with classes at 2pm, that truly means that i can stay up til 3am everynight.
To wait for the off peak download time to start downloading my movies.

Yes, our quota is divided into peak and off-peak, and
No, sadly, we don't have unlimited download quota.
*Unlike back home. =(*
And we're only allowed 40gb for peak hours and 110gb for off peak hours.

" What the fuck, 150gb not enough?! "

Divide that by 10 people, mate. Divide that.

It's cruel how we must control our usage here.
Nonetheless, the download speed is a lot faster though.
I managed to finish downloading my Twilight movie in less than 2 hours.
So it's fair, isn't it?

We can't have everything we want.

Was left4dead-ing the other night.

XMan(FungKeng): Fucker! Damn chat a lot wei! *Life left back +1 only*
Johnny(John): Health pack here. XMan, come heal!
XMan(FungKeng): Okay, cover me.
Shiny(Chris): Okayokay.

Half a second later,

Chester incapacitated XMan.

XMan(FungKeng): Wtf! Why you kill me!
Chester(Sabrina): Ooooopppssss!!! SORRY! Terclick my mouseeee!!! Hahahahaah!

And then suddenly,
*UHOH!* (The ICQ message tone shouts with a little bit of vibration)

" Oi! "
" Why you oi me? :( "
" Miss you marrrr... :) "

Oh, Aaven Chen. You made my night! :)

Anyway, you know, i think i know too many Graces.
This morning,

" Hey, Grace here. This is my other number. Are you free today................... "

When i read the first part of the message, i thought to myself, " Oh, Gy has another numberrr.... "
*Eyes still closed, was just peeking at the message*

And when I read on,

".................. Maybe we can have lunch together or walk around the city later? Let me know! "

My eyes opened widely, " Nooo. Gy can't be here. Then which Grace is this?! "

" Noooo, it can't be the one back home, she doesn't have my number. Nooo, it can't be the one i was introduced to here by a friend, she doesn't have my number either. And it's not Gy either... whoo... which.... ?!? "

And then it hit me!

" OOOHHHHHHHHHHH! Wern Loong's GRACE! "

:) *If you're reading this Grace, please please don't kill me. I'm sorrrry! I was still blur in the morning!*

And, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
I am a happy girl today.
Am I, am I?

Yes, i am!!!!!!!!

:)

* Case closed*

Of strength, strength and strength.

Weekends are supposed to be relaxing.
But why is it not?

But i have not touched my books.
Why was i so hooked up then?

Let's see.

Friday.
Early morning, woke up for basketball session.
Sooooo different from netball!
You know how we can't move our legs when we have the ball.
So when Ron passed me the ball, my legs automatically stopped on the spot.
And after what seems like 2 seconds, i started thinking,

" Oh shit! What the heck am i doing!?! "

But it was funny, cause my whole team was very encouraging.
They know it's my first time playing basketball.
So they were very nice to me.

" Sabrina! Catch and try to shoot some hoops! "

And after a while, i kinda got a little, just a little, used to it.
And i did score 2 for the team!

" Our secret weapon!!! "

:)

After 2 hours of basketball, John and I tried out the gym.
Cause we had some free entry pass to the gym, why waste?
So we tried out the Cardio Studio.
I managed a 3o minutes cycling without stopping.
And without waking up the next morning feeling the aches.

Not bad huh? :)

And Saturday was hectic as well.
We went to the city for shopping! :)
And yes yes, i bought a new bag and flats!
Bargain bargain!!!

Then came back for big helpings of Spaghetti Bolognese and Greek Salad for dinner. :)

And it was time for the match.
Omg, if i didn't love Chelsea that much, i would have been stuck permanently supporting Liverpool.

" You'll never walk alone. "

Weeeeeee!!!

Love it. Just love it!

And so, i am still sitting here today.
Still have not touched my books.
Have not done my tutorials for tomorrow.
Have not done a thing.

What am i to do?

And i still am sitting here today.
Have not confirmed my decisions.
Have not given it my hundred and one percent of concentration to believe and decide.
Have not done yet again, a thing.

Am i strong enough?
