DAY 283: DREAMS

i woke up with really mixed feelings.
well, dreams are always weird.

i had a dream with a combination of....
whatever i've said
whoever i've met or thought of
whatever i've done
anything others have said or done

i think, people tend to remember their dreams better in a subconscious state.
E.g. you woke up at 8am and return into deep sleep,waking up 10am.

hmm. probably it's the transition of seasons (spring to summer) so that's why the temperature drops oftenly?
but i think there were really strong winds last night as there were speckles of dusts at the window ledge.
even in the toilet.

well, it's common to have all the dirt blown into your room during windy days.
and yeah, we're moving out of here on 1st Dec.
this place would mark the start and the end of our Monash Year.
how fast.


[special ones]

DAY 282: EVENTUALLY.

WOOHOOO!
exams were over for quite some time and yeah, we are currently enjoying as much as possible!

hmm. for the PAST FEW DAYS, we had a few "hair-salon" and mahjong sessions.
apart from watching dramas off our laptops, i was with my PSP and DS at all times.
TODAY, we were out for the entire day, SHOPPING!
and it has been raining nowadays, RIGHT AFTER taitai rebonded her hair.
WHAT A TIMING when she's not supposed to wash her hair for these few days.
hahahaha.

finally, got our honors application done and accommodation issues were settled for the next few months.
ALL THANKS TO XIANG TING and KATHERINE!
:D
Left: Katherine, XiangTing, Miffy (in Xt's arms), Me, Renee, Jovina, Gina and Meiyun (Taitai).


alright, i'm really running out of things to blog about.
lazy to take photos and my tagboard seems dead already.
=x



[now it feels like i'm really getting on ages.]

DAY 277: PRE-GRADUATION.

because our official graduation will be at night. plus the crowd, it'll be good if we had a round of "rehearsal" before the real one right?
it was like a "farewell celebration" for friends to come together.

good opportunity too, Xiang Ting and Katherine won't be there with us on the 15th Dec so today was a good chance to take photos together, in our graduation gowns!
:)

Katherine smuggled their "miffy" in by hiding it inside her bag. not the first time though. hahaha.

rock n' roll!

think she watched too much of "Up". hahaha!

walk the miffy.

come to mama.

"miff, miff, miff. i'm being lifted up from the ground!"

Xiang Ting's lab colleagues.

Simon and Natalie came to visit us. Before and after that, Jovina and Taitai were revising with him for tomorrow's paper.

classic.

with my hair tugged to the back of my ears, i looked demure and shy. hahaha! btw, that was Taitai, barefooted-ly.

only I managed to stand on the tree. yay!

wonder women.

hmm. i'm still shorter.

now, she looked smaller.

notice the length of my gown? hahaha.

yay!

under one roof.

Renee: "they only want miffy but not me."

kindergarden graduation.

blown away.

i don't like the slit in the sleeves. hahaha.

adorable but it grows easily. hahaha.

pardon me for my face.

still, i'm afraid of getting close to animals. hahaha.

Karen Chua and Renee Pang.


alright, good luck to those taking DEV3022 tomorrow!
good luck to Renee on the 18th!


[getting back at me?]

DAY 275: THE GAME OF MARIA.

yeap. i was the "maria" of the day.
i prepared everything for the steamboat dinner nicely.
very proud of myself.
hahahaha.
may seem simple but quite taxing to get everything done by oneself.

wooo. minced chicken ball by me. yummy.


sliced and neatly arranged. hahaha! i must be too free.


that was the best the knife could do. hahaha. who has got a sharpener?


long time no see!


[over and done, please.]

DAY 272: 1111

right now, i'm so excited and dying share my joy with the entire world.
it just felt like as though i've won the million dollar lottery.
OMG.


THERE IS WIND TONIGHT!


OMG.


do you know Adelaide's highest temperature is as high as 39C?
heard that this year's Australia/Melbourne summer can reach as high as 50C.
INSANE RIGHT?
that was what i thought so too.


so i was saying, don't always envy countries that experience the 4 seasons because they will experience the extremes while Singapore is still alright.
cherish what you have.
:)

2 more days to my last paper!

has anyone caught "LAUGHING GOR 之變節"?
THUMBS UP!
full of adrenalin rush and emotional fluctuations!
i dont mind watching it again!



[science makes one paranoid]

DAY 271: UNBEARABLE WEATHER AND FLIES.

oh gosh. it has always been 30C for the past few days.
30C-34C for NIGHT TIME.
is it hotter than in Singapore or i'm just not used to it?
everything just feel so warm.
wait, it's no longer warmth but HEAT.

the water, food, towel, shirt.
especially whenever we step out of a building.
ARGH.

"better still" it's also the FLIES season.

XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXXXXXXL
green, black, brown.
at least all of them have SIX LEGS and DO FLY!

it's not like 10. but TONNES OF THEM. u can see HUNDREDS of them FLYING or DYING everywhere!
houseflies, normal flies, moths. you name it, you have it!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
every 10mins, one will come and irritate me.
imagine how many i need to kill at my study table.
DISGUSTING, ANNOYING especially they come BUZZING AT YOUR EARS while you're walking.
EEEEEW. imagine we don't have the flies net fixed to our windows.



ANYWAY, we've been staying in the library from noon till late night.
revising was the reason but the "air con" was another.
now, sleeping is no longer a "want" for me.
Karen can't sleep with the heat.


[there bound to be rainy days.]

DAY 269: COLD OVER HOT.

when was the last time we experienced 30 degree Celsius?
it's so warm that my laptop charger gets heated up so fast!
well, i got freaked out last night by the strong burning smell from it.
crap.

but Singapore's experiencing this "warmth" everyday?
:S


[Las Vegas baby!]

I may not be as tall as what you've thought but yeah, I'm rather fine with it. Since nothing seems to make me anymore taller.

I'm blessed to have my family, relatives and groups of special people that made everything seemed so possible for me. They said I'm a funny person probably because of my unglam-ness, unrefine-ness and tiko-ness that have been giving everyone including myself such great times. well, I'm NOTORIOUS for those unique traits. that's WHO I AM.
