My Blog

I touched down in Sg at 8.30pm on tues n e feelin is so great coz i know tat im gg to eat my fav food aft i leave e airport!!! Ha.. Wat a pig i am! I oredi had my dinner on e plane…

E flight home wasnt so bad at all except for e fact tat kids was surroundin me from all directions! It’s no joke when they start cryin on e plane! So IRRITATING! This little boy sittin on my left was cryin most of e time! Luckily he was cute! Or else, i’ll bet tat i’ll stare at him with my fierce look! Haha… Other than e kids cryin, i dun even feel tat e flight was long. Perhaps i was jus happy to b hm again.

When i saw my niece, Rachel, i jus beamed into my silly smile again! Coz she’s my darlin rite now. So cute… Kept callin me ‘gugu’ all nite! Im amazed tt she can still rem me aft 1 yr of nt seein me. She was so young when i left, prob less than 1 yr old n now she’s oredi 2 yrs old! Kids do grow v fast! Anyway, she was excited to c me too coz she was dancin in e car n smilin all e time when lookin at me… Hee.. She must hav rem e time when i sang to her!

I know her fav food now is meat stuff. She was tellin me tat she likes to eat ‘rou rou’ (meat). Nt a vege lover… Same as me! I can c lots of similarities btw her n me. On e way to e east coast hawker centre, my bro asked me wat i wanted to eat. I told him tat i wanted to eat stingray only n he babbled on n on abt e other food i shld eat. Guess it’s him who wanted to eat more than me. He ordered 30 sticks of satay, bbq chicken wings, stingray, oyster omelette… He wanted to order more but i stopped him as i reckon e 3 of us wldnt b able to finish all e food! My precious little niece ate 5 sticks of satay herself! She wanted more but my sis-in-law forbade her. Bet she cld win me if she’s allowed to continue eatin. I only ate 6 sticks! Seein her gorgin down e satay is so funny.. Never seen a 2 yr old girl likin meat so much! Aft all e eatin n all, our tummy was rnd!!!!! Gosh… I still say i wanna lose wt… Haha.. I still hav to meet several fnds for dinner n lunch.. How am i gg resist e temptation??? Help…………..

P/S: My 2nd bro jus saw me n he was shocked to me at hm coz he didnt know tat i’ll b back so early for his weddin… Guess wat he said to me! He said tat i put on wt!!!! Argh!!!!

I’ve jus finished my last paper! Woohoo! Dun know how my paper went but i dun care abt it rite now until e release of my results end of the mth… I still hav tons of stuff to do! Like packin my stuff!!! I need to pack watever stuff i do nt need for next yr back to sg coz i dun wan to b loaded with things when i move to a new place next yr. Yup.. Im shiftin to a new place next yr! Im gg to hav new flatmates!!! Ha.. Dun know wat’ll happen to us when we stay together. One of them was tellin me tat she was prompted to pray for me… I can still rem e look she gave me!!! I asked her wat specify prayer was she gg to pray for me n when she told me, we jus burst out laughin! Let’s jus say tat we r prayin for peace n harmony in e new household.

The new place is definitely smaller than my current place but nearer to sch. Tat means, i do nt hav to wake up so early! Im such a pig. E one thing gd abt tat place is tat it has a swimmin pool! I can drag my flatmate to go swimmin with me everyday! We can b dark together! Nt tat we r nt dark enuf.. Haha. Cant imagine 2 jokers like us in the pool. We always end up tokin instead of actually swimmin. Watever it is, i hope tat this pool can give me e motivation to do some exercise! Im in need of some exercise rite now! Gettin fatter!!!

Rite now, i jus need to pack all my stuff b4 i fly back to SG. I haven book e tix yet. It’s e peak period now n yet, i still haven book it! My bro was buggin me to go back as soon as possible… Wonder wat’s e hurry? Must b bcoz of his previous Red Rock Deli potato chips! YES!!! I bought 22 packets of potato chips n 2 packets of burger ring for him. I was gg to buy SMITHS potato chips oso but i reckon i’ve gt too much potato chips oredi… I hav no idea how i was gg to bring back all these potato chips! He really owe me big time for all e trouble he had put me thru!

It’s e 1st day of e semester break n i finally gt my big butt to e gym. Let’s see… How long have i nt gone into a gym??? Prob 2 yrs!!!! My exercise regime really sucks… My weekly dosage of exercise on sat had been replaced by brain exercise - asgts. Anyway, i went for one of their classes which was e ‘combat fitness’. I thot tat i wld hav no prob in doin tat class since it was quite similar to kick boxing which i had learnt b4 when i was in sg. I was still feelin alrite aft e 1st 3 workout. BUT… aft tat, i cld feel my whole body cryin out for me to stop! Nevertheless, i managed to complete e 1 hr of cardio workout. I was freaking high aft this. Seriously, my head was feelin light n i was literally floating! Guess age is really catchin up on me. Cant do strenous exercise anymore. Haha.. This is jus an excuse… Im tryin to do my 10km walk this wed if i hav e time. Hopefully e weather wont b tat hot. I need discipline if i wan to b fit!!!!

Jus received a teacher’s day card from my students in the mail!!! It really made my day today to know tat my students still remember this teacher of theirs. I’m so touched! Thank you girls!!!! It has been such a hectic wk for me. Bz with assignments as usual. Wat’s new rite? E next couple of wks r gg to b crazy… Shit loads of assignments due n exams comin soon too. But hey… When it’s over, I can go back to Sg!!! Yeh!! Cant wait to go back to c my love ones.. Meanwhile, it’s back to my research n analysis stuff…

The results are finally out. I can feel a sense of relief flowing thru me rite now. Was so afraid tat I cld nt make it for e last paper tat I’ve set for. Thank God for e breakthrough! The past few wks had been great for me. Piggin out as usual… Haha… Cant imagine e wt tat i’ve gained these few wks. My appetite hav increased tremendously recently. Dun know e reason y (prob im jus happy) but I sure hope tat i’ll nt continue like this! Or else im nt gg to fit into e dress end of e yr for e weddin!!!! Gosh.. Keepin my finger crossed. Someone jus reminded me of my diet 4 yrs ago n im still amazed at how small my appetite was then! Can u believe tat I only ate 5 cheezels for lunch in

Melbourne

? Cant believe rite? Neither do i!!! I wonder how I survived then. Im ponderin abt wat i’ve eaten yesterday nite… mashed potato, 2 chicken drumsticks, 1 krispy kreme (Sydney friend bought it), instant mee goreng. Ya.. I know it’s a lot of food. It doesn’t help tat world cup is on now.. My all time favourite r still Smiths potato chips, Tim Tam, Mac etc… Hee.. E snackin will start even b4 e game starts. Then it’ll continue till almost e end of 2^nd match. So it’s like snackin from

12 am

to

7 am

!!! It’s def an unhealthy lifestyle. Nt getting my beauty sleep is bad enuf n plus all e snackin.. haiz.. Haven seen my bed for a few nites oso.. my temp hsemate even said tat she hav nt seen me for a v long time.. Shld spend more time at my own place instead of spending my time at somewhere else.

went to rainbow beach on sat to dig ‘pippies’!!!! it’s been such a long time since i woke up so early on a sat morning. was feelin so sleepy but when i gt into e 4WD, i was excited! finally gg to another beach other than surfer’s paradise… rainbow beach is a 2 hr drive from brisbane n it’s much better than gold coast! i basically talked non stopped for 2 hrs till i arrived there coz i’ve gt so much to catch up with my fnd plus my fnd’s relatives.. we met 4 yrs ago n here we r together again! haha.. ya.. we r e chatterboxes!!! anyway, half way to our destination, we saw ppl diggin ‘pippies’. check out e pic to c how ‘pippies’ look like… apparently, it’s jus like a clam. we actually had to outrun n outdig e ppl who were there oredi! gosh.. they r real quick at diggin ‘pippies’! armed with a wooden spoon, i gt off e 4WD n began searchin for ‘pippies’. to know where e ‘pippies’ are, u hav to look out a little hump. it’s really interestin n when i found my 1st ‘pippies’, i was so happy!!! i’ve dug abt 40 plus ‘pippies’. e total amt of ‘pippies’ tat we’ve caught were almost 200! can u imagine e 4 of us grobblin down 50 ‘pippies’ each? neh.. we gave half of it to fnds n neighbours.. we can hardly eat tat much ‘pippies’ in 1 day!

e only regret tat i had was tat i didnt c e  coloured sand!! clever me didnt realise tat it was on e left hand side of me. i jus kept on lookin at my right hand side!!! i was still thinkin y they called it e ‘rainbow’ beach.. i only rem to ask aft we left e beach to go for our dinner.. haiz.. in e end, i had to make do with jus lookin at it from a little bottle where they sell it in e souvenir shop…

Woke up this morning n realized tat it was 1pm oredi… Gosh… Im still recuperating from e 4 days 3 nites sort of camping trip durin e easter break. Really hav no choice but to admit tat im old oredi! No more stamina to stay up late at nite or whatever… I will really look like crap if I dun hav enuf sleep nowadays! Tat’s wat a fnd of mine said to me when he saw me on e webcam n he actually said tat I looked 10 yrs older!!! Damn it! Anyway, to sidetrack abit, are there any moments in life when you miss someone so much, you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. I know I do… Especially when u r in a different country or state where u dun get to c them so often. But the funny thing is tat u dun do it when u c them face to face. Ppl dun express their feelins so openly nowadays. Im one such person who hides my feelins from others. I can no longer comprehend wat my real feelins r let alone other ppl’s feelins! I dun know when it has become so complicated. Probably it has always been so… Or prob it applies to long dist rln only? But I know one thing for sure. Tat is when the door of happiness closes, another opens. We simply hav to move on… But often, we look so long at the closed door, we don’t see the one which has been opened to us.

Back in Brisbane safe n sound. Sorry to those whom I didn’t inform when im flyin off coz was too caught up with other stuff. Anyway, e past 2 wks was full of surprises.. Starting with e marriage of a guy who fulfilled all my criteria except his age. Gosh! Cant believe tat he’s a married man now. He’s e only guy whom can make me go tongue tied whenever I talked to him!!! Better not talk abt him too much lest im sad again. Secondly, I won the first prize for a lucky draw or rather e other person who was with me. Ask him to fill in his particulars coz it’s easier to contact him than me coz im leavin soon! E lucky draw was from a VD dinner that I had at One Fullerton. Ha.. Too bad I cant enjoy e prize coz im oredi in Brisbane! Wan to know wat’s e prize? Hee.. It’s actually some crappy nite stay at a hotel… Anyway, e prize was given to his mother to enjoy. So it’s like I did nt win oso. But wat e heck! Im blessed in other ways! Nope. Nt a new bf if u r thinking of this! Told myself nt to make e same mistake again. Need time to heal e old wound still… Thirdly, I have managed to lose 1kg within a wk! Tat’s a miracle really… Haiz… No more e wonderful life of havin food on e table e moment I wake up anymore! Haha.. Time to go grocery shoppin n buy junk food all over again.

You shld never ever mention someone’s name coz u will definitely bumped into tat person! Yesterday was my ‘lucky’ day to bump into someone whom I do not want to c at all. Buy 4D oso never so ‘heng’! There was no way for me to escape or pretend coz he saw me lookin at him with my eyes wide opened oredi!!! Bet he saw how my face cringes. It’s funny tat we shld meet in this manner. I was really caught unprepared. So we stood there face to face for a few secs b4 I managed to open my mouth to speak… E usual polite phrases like, “how r u so far?”, “wat r u workin as?” etc. I know it’s crappy but I cant think of anything else oredi. We managed to talk for abt 10 mins b4 I had to flee to my fnd’s car to go somewhere else. It’s e longest conversation we had so far for e past 5 yrs. Every time when we happen to meet, he wld run away so fast tat there was no opportunity for us to talk at all. At least both of us r now able to talk to each other without being sarcastic. Ha… I believe my performance tat day was good overall.

Chinese New Year is the time when I will definitely attack the pineapple tarts!!! Let’s count… Hmm… I have oredi eaten over 50 plus pineapple tarts in 3 days! Guess I can hit the 100 mark at the end of the week… I still have half a tub of pineapple tarts (25 left) in my room which I declared it as my most treasured possession at the moment. It shld contain more but all thanks to my eldest brother lah! I have oredi bought 2 tubs for him oredi but he still kapo from my room when he came durin the first day of CNY. I shld remember to hide it man!!! Dumb dumb me… I didn’t realize tat my bro had the same likin as me. I shld jus buy 1 tub for him n I keep 2 tubs for myself… Too late to regret anyway… Next year, I shall take my revenge! I’m gg to ask him to buy 3 tubs for me so tat I can take it back to

Australia

to enjoy…
