Touch Down Kuching Airport

Oops, I know I'm supposed to blog about my Gold Coast trip. LOL! Sowiiii... When I wasn't emo I didn't have time so that's why no post. I thought I wanted to post some pictures but I realised that I didn't have any good photo, so that's out of the question. But there wasn't much that I did there... Just the normal stuff like, swim in the sea, shopping, go to the theme parks, visit cousins... That's all... Anyway, when I do feel like blogging I'll blog about it. LOL! If I remember.

Anywayyy, back in Kuching... Met up with Ian, Eric, Bibie, Tim, Deb, Irwin and Ollie. Semua mature dah ehhh.. lol... sik berubah lansung~~ LOL! In less than 24 hours being home I went out to the movies, car ride around Kuching... Then lepak again at night at Hijau. No pictures 'coz forgot my camera. Whoops, have to wait until Deb and Ollie post the pics on Facebook.

Ok... I better stop, it's 12am here already and I need to wake up early to send my sis and bro to music school. Sial~~ Start of the days of me becoming driver... Aiyahh, hopefully I still remember how to drive manual car. =P

The bloody results are out....

Sighhhh.... I didn't get the results I wanted to get... It's so frustrating when everyone else you know got like a G.P.A of 7 and all I got was a crappy G.P.A *.*. Yes, it is censored to save your all of the patheticness of my crappy results. You'll thank me for not disclosing it because you'll cry tears of sorrow and will wallow in Sharlene-pitiness. Yup...

But everyone's telling me I did my best, and I should be happy for my results... yes, it's true... I could've gotten worst, but... I wanted to do better.... I'm not happy. Full-stop! I know I'm actually drowning my sorry butt in self pity but my head's full of what-ifs. If only I knew... I would've studied more, I would've been more serious, I would've concentrated more... bahhh... but it's all too late now... Bloody shit...

I am sad... Sad is bad... sighhh... Just what I need to ruin my holidays... I was so happy today... sighh... was... past tense...

Okayyy... I should really stop aye... Probably annoying you guys... Quite surprised you actually read until here... I guess I'm lucky I'm in Gold Coast now... At least I won't be sad for long... The swim in the ocean was relieving... the huge dinner was fulfilling... perhaps it is because of these God knew I won't be going into depression...

Sighhh.... I MUST WORK HARD FOR UNI!!! This is a lesson for me... I hope I won't forget this. This hurt me worst than a hundred daggers piercing through my broken heart... more than a million lorikeets' sharp claws digging painfully into my bare skin... more than the saltiest ocean water burning your huge fresh cut...

Don't worry... I'll get better... I hope...

PS: Will blog the Gold Coast trip as soon as I'm in the mood...

A day of nothing but shopping...

I know to some this is heaven, but today... I was already tired even before I went out!! We walked around DFO like from 11am something all the way to 5pm something!! But it was really really enjoyable 'coz of the wonderful people I hang out with today. Thank you guys!!

On the other hand, still waiting for results... somehow I have this feeling that they don't wanna tell us until graduation. So agonizing... but at least it's better... mood's not spoilt yet. LOL! I really hope I do well even thought I know I don't deserve good results. Regrets, but nothing can be done.. it's over... sadness~

Then the hunt for accommodation next year. Sooooo agonizing and stressful!! Who would've thought just renting a place can be so hard!! In the movies they always get to have really nice houses without hassle... why is it so hard here in Brisbane!! Annoying~~

Dear God, please do help us... =(

Exam Paranoia

Yes, I am paranoid... I get scared so easily these days... haihs!! Started off with Hung... Hurmph!! He so smart, go set his MSN nick as "OMG!! EXAM RESULTS ARE OUT AT MYFY!!!" just because he was bored... I was like, OMG SO FAST??!! Then panic panic panic!! After that, I found out it was just stuff to get entertained... Aiyahh!!

Then today's case... Sometime around 11pm... Oh, I meant last night, 'coz it's 1.47am now. lol!

Deanic came down and said, "Hey!! Are the results out? Carrie said the results will be out..." "WHAT?!!! NOW?!!" I said. "Ya... at 12am later".

At 12am... OMGOMGOMG!!! SCARY!!! Open Internet Explorer, typed MYFY web address... Enter password... LOOK! FIND! NOTHING!! Cheyyyy, kenak tipu again...

Then on MSN:

Shalyn says:

Shalyn says:

Sighhh... So scaryyy... Results will be out soon... Today (Monday), tomorrow or Wednesday...

On the other hand... Family's coming on Thursday!!! WOOHOO!!

The race is finally over...

YAY!!!

Finally a free person... After days and nights sacrificed (as if) for this finals... it's finally over. But it seems so surreal... I finally finish my pre-uni days. It's just weird! At first it's like, yay! only 7 months course, and then uni!! But nowwww, I'm already missing May Express when it's not even over for 24 hours!!! I'm so gonna miss the teachers there, and the people who I met and got to know there... No one can replace you guys! You guys are the best course mates ever!! WE HAVE TO KEEP IN TOUCH OK!!!!

I'm happy with 4 of my exams, as in I know I did my best, whether or not I did well lies in the hand of the teachers. Haha. :-s Buttttttttttttttttttttttttt, as most of you know I was really upset with my Math paper. I still am!! I know it's over and there's nothing I can do about it, but I feel that I could've done so much better. OMG! I SOUND LIKE A FRIGGING STRAIGHT A's STUDENT!! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO!!!

Anyway yea... and I say BULLSHIT to aiming high!!! I swear the pain is SOOOO much bigger and tremendously painful when you know you could've done so much better and yet you know you've screwed up. Trust me, I know...

Ach jaaaa, but it's over... and it feels like a frigging unfinished business you know. I feel like if I were to die today, I'd be stuck in this physical world because of that!! Really!! Deanic was being lame today. He was like, "Ok! Then I'll burn the Math exam for you and you can keep doing and doing until you get so fed up and say arghhhh Deanic!! Stop sending me Math!". Haha... Sighhh...

On the lighter note... I found out that I'm a right-brained person... Which means I tend to be subjective,creative, intuitive and holistic (whatever that means). Haha!! Am I?? Ohh, and I'm an extrovert... and my brain's a female brain... Haha... Should be good right?

what stressed students experience...

This convo happened between a friend and I while studying...

Shalyn says:
omg
Friend says:
???
Shalyn says:
my stpd hp scared me
Friend says:
hahahahaha
Friend says:
im imagining the hp suddenly jump up and BOO you
Friend says:
HAHAHHAHAHA
Friend says:
BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

which reminded me of something similar that happened in my Behavioural Science class.

Rosalie (Teacher): ... that is why comedy shows producer use canned laughter to influence audience...

Me: *burst out laughing*

Whole class look at me bewildered. Their faces were literally O.O

Me: *laughing harder* Sorry... *attempts at stiffening laughter*

Then I caught Hui Quan's eye, and somehow she knew why I was laughing and she burst out laughing too!

Rosalie: Ok... What's so funny? Come on, share it with the class...

Me: Er... I'm imagining opening a can and laughter comes out...

..........

I know, I know... lame shit... LOL!!!

Studying...

Haha.. I still have Sunday left to study and then the BATTLE IS ON!!! Desperate!!! Maths have been taking up most of my time... It's frustrating when you know the formulae, you know how to do it, but somehow can't seem to get it answer!! Right???

See, even my laptop's studying!!!

Ok, the next photo is my desk... word of caution, if you're a neat freak, I don't think you wanna see it... It's in a HUGE mess... with more and more Maths notes and books!

Hardworking ler?? hahahaha... XD

K, gotta get back to studying...

Good luck and all the best to all of you who is sitting for exams and going to sit for exams...

Been thinking lately...

I've been thinking... like... all the activities I did when I was still back home... Has it all gone to waste?? I feel so bad... like all those music classes my parents paid for... I've been learning music most of my life and I'm still so bad at it... The taekwondo trainings my dad once had to force me to go, and now... I can't even do a split... The "Chinese" lessons I had for 6 years in Primary school, I don't even remember a thing taught!! Handball... Athletics... Badminton... I should be more serious with everything... I start off doing something I wanna do, and then slacking down so much...

Mum & Dad... I'm sorry!! I wanna change!!

Goals to achieve:
1. get good grades
2. learn Mandarin enough to understand and speak and perhaps read and write??
3. start music again
4. continue with my sports

OMG... I sound so much like a nerd... o.O


PS: I got the scholarship interview... pray for me k??? hopefully I'll get it!! *fingers crossed*

I'm melting in the hot bloody heat~

OMG!!! I swear today's the hottest hottest ever day in my whole stay so far in Brisbane!!! At least it feels like it!!! o.o The temperature now is 30.2 degrees...

I can't believe I walk all the way (45 minutes) to church and then after church walk allll the way back to Kelvin Grove (where I stay...) so... all together walk under the sun for almost 2 hours!!!

Wahhh, my skin felt like it was able to fry an egg!!! Ok laaa, my fault also, didn't put sunblock on. I woke up late mah... hehehehe~~~

Aiyooo, I miss the cool weather... :(

Languages that I wanna master in my life...

1. Mandarin
2. German
3. Hokkien
4. Cantonese
5. Spanish

I think the list will change as time goes on but so far those are the languages that I wanna master...

I saw this on Erich's blog, and oh how true it is...

AUGUST

What do you think?

Goodbyes, goodbyes

Today Archer aka Silius has left 508 for home... It seemed like just yesterday we received a letter stating that this Wang dude from China will be our 5th housemate and now... room 508.5 is empty. Funny how we were reluctant to have another person moving in, funny how now we miss him so...

I don't know how it'll be in a week's time when Sam leaves... sigh, the two good buddies who lighten up our place... Haha... challenging each other and speaking in God-knows-what-language they created... LOL! Now, one is without the other, and the house is soooo much quieter.

Anyway... We'll see each other again in February!!
Until then...
WE'LL MISS YOU ARCHER!!!

~the 508 pose~

Your Yearly Dementia Test

Melvin sent this through email to me... and I find it really really hilarious!! Do and you'll see!! MUAHAHAHAA!!!

So apparently it's that time of year to take "our" annual senior citizen test. Thought I don't know when exactly is the time since I bet the email has been circling around the net for ages!! LOL!

Exercising the brain is as important as exercising muscles and as we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.

Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.


1. What do you put in a toaster?







Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2




2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk". What do cows drink?







Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.



3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks , what is a green house made from?







Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," why the heck are you still reading these??? If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.



4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany). Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East German , West Germany , or no man's land"?







Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to the next question.



5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to MilfordHaven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on.
In Swindon, two people get off and four get on.
In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on .
In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on.
In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on.
You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?







Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own name? It was YOU!!




PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!! Are you one of that 5%?

20 minutes to midnight...

on a Thursday night...

Haha, haven't been getting much sleep this few nights anyway... Been doing the bloody English report which took me ages to finish. Well, not really.. like a couple of days. Kerja last minute laaaa, what else... Well I finally finished it like few hours ago, and then started studying for maths test tomorrow which will carry 5%. But I stopped already as you can see... Tired la.. got headache!

So, started to suft the net... and then came across my old schoolmate's blog. She was complaining about Physics formulas. Haha. *oops* shouldn't be laughing.. I can't stop thinking how happy I've become after dropping all sciences. LOLZ~ So not a science person... =P Then... I came acrossing another blog with LAKSA and DURIAN pictures!! ARGHHH! I ALSO WANNA EATTTT!!!

huhuhuh... then I realised I haven't ate dinner yet... forgot... 'cause was doing English and straight away study Math.... now hungry... shouldn't have surfed the net... At least I won't be hungry...

Sighhh...

Can't wait for this week to be over!! Then focus on Business exam essay... arghhhh!!!

PS: This was written by Sam... and I edit abit.. haha..

First time I was....

I am officially a bad student... OMG! UQ officials better not read this blog, or else they'll never consider my scholarship application!!! huhuhuhuhu!!! *crying face*

Ok ok... What happen you ask? I'm getting there.... Be patient!!

So... It started off like any other day... Nothing usual at all... Left the house and began our journey to school... Something extra today that happened was that 2 BLOODY HUGE CROWS were sitting on the bridge railing as if waiting to peck our eyes out!! SO SCARYYYY!!!! I think we spent like at least 2 minutes waiting for them to fly off! But since they didn't we gathered our courage to approached them. One flew off but the other was still on the railings... I almost died la!! Thennnn, out of nowhere, suddenly.... SOMETHING POKED US FROM BEHIND!! Omg, I think we screamed extremely loudly!! Turned back and SHIT! It was Deanic!! Anyway, our screams scared the crow away...

Anyway, we continued on our journey to school with our hearts beating so fast like nobody's business. Climb the bloody slope, cross the road, walk fast-fast down the hill, say hi to Victor and Ballon outside of school, and then met Stephen on the way to class. Then we knocked on the door.

No response...

Knocked somemore....

Still no response....

$%&*%$%% Knocked louder...

Waited and waited...

Finally the door opened at 9.15am and our teacher's face appeared. "You guys are late! I won't mark your attendance, so don't bother coming!". *slam door*

*stunned face*

So.... yeahhh..... First time ever being kicked out of class.... Not proud of it... but still stunned about it... Can't be sour about it either 'coz it's my fault for coming late....

Arghhh, shit happens...

work work work!!

So gotta do more work!!

Argh, I'm such a lazy ass... 5 weeks left and I haven't started any revision! Haven't done any assignments!! Though they are dued in a week's time... OH MY GAWDDDDD!!!!

a lazy ass I am

I've been complaining why others haven't been updating their blogs... but.. haha.. look who's talking hey?

There's like a million things to do, and I'm waiting until the night before to start doing them. Should REALLY change that, but... so far no mood to start anything... BorinGzzz... Aiyaaa, Math test on Friday, Business presentation & Behavioural Science seminar & Economics commentary all dued next Wednesday... crap... Then there's English report... I'm being a baby here but not doing anything about them. Lazy... Haha... Oh wells...

On the other note, I CAN'T wait to get exams over and done with. COZ THAT MEANS A HELL LOT OF TIME ON MY HANDS!!!

Time for souvenirs shopping (Ko gave me a HUGE shopping mission), shopping for myself, time to lose weight (for real), go to the beach, play badminton, go dance lessons (planning to... who wanna join?? of coz it'll have to be in Kuching, lolz), learn Mandarin - as in going to actual lessons, bake, cook up recipes I'm dying to try out, ooh, play piano & guitar (& maybe violin ~ see mood and see whether I remember how to.. lolz)... and etc...

OMG I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!

What I have been up to so far...

It's kinda small... but bear with it... LOLz...

I really have nothing better to do hey... =P No la, my mum commented that she haven't seen me in a long time, partly I fault too for not sending photos back. Sooo, I had this great idea... All at once send her many many photos! Muahahahaaaa!

Raya Action

Haha.. Soo, I didn't really missed out on Raya this year. Woohoo! Tho the food was disappointing... ohwellzzz, that just confirms one thing. Home food's still the best! Yupsiree!

So, where shall I start... Right, from the fact that it seemed like we were waiting the whole day for someone, or something!! Hui Quan and I purposely woke up early to go for the 8am Mass. The Mass finished at 8.54am and we waited until like 10.45 plus for some people. We were suppose to meet at 10am.

Anyway, pass the waiting time, we had to wait for the bus which came at 11.10am, and then came the nightmare. No one knew where the venue was!! Sorta reminded me of Raya back home. Haha! Dad can never remember where's his friends' houses at. But anyhow, we got to the place at one piece.

We still have to wait for the Muslims to pray. And when they came back, the late comers where invited to go pray, so we had to wait some more. By then, I wasn't hungry anymore. Then we had to wait for them to pray over the food. Then... when we finally were invited to eat, we had to queue up under the bloody hot sun!! IT WAS FRIGGING HOT!! The worst thing was, the food wasn't even worth the wait...

BUT, the atmosphere and the people made it lively and great. We had fun didn't we! Haha. Should do this more often.

Ohhh, there was a best dress competition too.. Guess who won Mr Raya?

ha! don't lie, you didn't expect an ORANG PUTIH to win right?!!

Yup, he won Mr Raya. He deserved it anyway. He was the best looking guy there. SO CUTE!! After the eating part, we took heaps of photos. Won't bore you guys to death with the many photos we took. It was kinda weird going to this thing tho, I haven't seen so many Malaysians in my 5 months stay here. Haha! It was like, I was in Malaysia again. The heat and everything.. Raya songs... Speaking in Malay... yeahhh, basically like Malaysia.. except the food jak yang fail!

GROUP PHOTO!

At the end of the visit, we took a group photo, though most of them I do not know. LOLZ! But multiracial laa... Actually salah, not multiracial... multinegara baru betul! Haha... Ya, Malaysians + Singaporean + Vietnamese + Indonesian semua campur in the group photo.

Still miss home la... :P

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!

Selamat Hari Raya to all Malaysians celebrating Hari Raya...

Wishing all other muslims Eid Mubarak!

Haha.. I don't even know whether it's correct. I'll just assume that it is correct. Haha... Oh mienzzz, i miss rendang, and lemang, and kari ayam, and all the other nice food... sighhh...

On Thursday, for Business class, we need to bring food which relates to a leader we respect... since I'm feeling so patriotic suddenly I decided to do on a Malaysian leader... who is pretty successful... I hope you guess right... Know the slogan, "Now everyone can fly"? Yeapz, doing on Tony Fernandes... though I haven't thought of what Malaysian food to bring...

Still very much awake at 2.20am on a Monday morning

I know, I know... I should be in bed... but... lazy... haha! I just finished my Economics commentary la... If you really wanna know, I think I wrote a whole lot of bull in it... I really don't know what to write and what should I be writing... Sigh, see... boys and girls, this is the result of last minute work. You just crap your way through assignments... which most of the time you'll end up with crap marks too.

Anywayzzz, I have NO IDEA why I'm still very much awake. I was very tired in the afternoon... I slept in the train! Lucky I woke up at South Brisbane, if not I might've missed Roma St Station!! Oh, I was at the Gold Coast for the weekend to give my support and love to my dearest, pretty cousin who was having a dance performance on Saturday. LOLz!

My highlight of the weekend

I went to the Gold Coast on Friday after lunch... I sort of ate all my leftovers which has been sitting inside the fridge for ages. Haha... Then, the rush to finish Internet credit while packing... Finally only leaving the house at 2.50pm. Then took a bus down to Roma St, which then I caught the train to Nerang. Boy, was the train full!!! I'm never ever gonna take the train on a Friday afternoon when people finish work!! Anyway, I was lucky to get a seat, but I was battling with my eyes to stay awake. I was afraid I might fall on the guy next the me. And he was dozing off too!! Arrived at Nerang at about 4.35pm, and then my aunt and cousins took me to I-don't-remember-what-beach but they had this really good Fish & Chips shop with a fish market or something like that. I don't know how to describe it except it must a pretty good 'coz there were loads of locals queuing up for food.

Then on Saturday the dance performance and the meeting up with the Chan clan... lolz.. It was fun meeting everyone again... It has been sometime since the last I saw them... Fine, it was just a few weeks ago but still... long time ago. LOLz! Then that evening, we went to another cousin's place to swim... We wanted to, but the water was freezing so we played wii instead. Oh, a reminder to self: ask Matt to get Mario Race thingy game... haha

Then on Sunday, which was yesterday, we went to Burleigh Beach (i think it's spelt like that). There we made our sandcastle, while the guy-next-to-us' stuff were pecked to death by a wild bush turkey. The male turkey had this yellow skin thingy around its neck, and my little cousin Thomas said, "Look the turkey's wearing a necklace!". How cute is that!!

The kids building the sandcastle

After that we went for lunch and got Thomas a train (he's obsessed with Thomas Train, you should hear him say Island of Sodor, "Eiyan Shodoe"). He's soooo adorable! Anyway, after that they send me to Robina where I took a train up to Brisbane.

I'm so confused! I keep thinking I'm going up to Gold Coast and down to Brisbane, when it's the other way round... Or is it... oh wells, just look at the map! LOL!

here's me with Thomas...

Ok, I better try to get some sleep now... Somebody's quoting my "I swear it's this house that's making me sleep late". That quote sabo me la... Haihzzz...

Righty-O... Gute Nacht! Good night! S'lamat malam! Buenos noches (if that's how it's spelt), Wan An (Chinese??).. haha.. ok.. fine, language fail! LOLz...

No more cravings....

I finally gave in to temptation today... Haihzzz...

Food is too good!

I had calamari & chips for lunch.... and for dinner.... KFC!!!

Ok la, not as nice as Malaysian KFC, but at least now I don't crave it anymore. Haha!!

This is bad... time to continue the battle!

Guitaring around...

I can't remember what I wanted to blog about... o.O and the cigarette smoke is bothering me and giving me a headache. No I did not smoke! I think it was the bus driver outside my window 'coz the bus stop is right outside my window, and it's like the last stop, so the bus drivers always wait here for about 15 minutes before starting their route again.

Oh ya... It's almost Raya holidays for people in Malaysia... and they all are going back... while me? Still stuck here... haihzzz... But December's coming soon... But that just means November's coming sooner, and I don't want November to come, 'coz that means finals. Can I just jump to December? LOL!

Arghh, I've go sooo much work to do.. But I'm so not in the mood to do. Economic's commentary, English essay, and writing up my Business interview. Aiyaaaa... So lazy!!

Oh yaaaaa, I've been learning Cantonese and Hokkien today. Haha.. But I got so mixed up! =s I know I know, they sound so different right... Still confusing ok... my brain isn't that big lo... =P hopefully by the end of this year I'll pick up enough Hokkien to converse with my grandparents, but I doubt it. Haha!! I don't wanna be "kantang" or "banana" anymore!! Stop laughing la you guys... Must support me mah.... LOLzzz!

Anywaysssss... looking forward to this weekend! Going to Gold Coast... Haha... I think I'll never be sick of that place! Gonna go see my cousin performing an Indonesian dance or something like that.

I have to go do some work... lazy lazy lazy...

I'll show you what I've been doing lately... Haha... I "guitar-napped" Chris' guitar yesterday WITH his permission, so it wasn't really guitar-napping... So yea... I've been playing that since yesterday...

ignore my untidy bed... told you I'm lazy =P

Can't blame me.. I'm sooo tired... and guitar just release my stress.... I had lessons from 9am today until 5.30pm ok.. without any breaks... yes, that means no lunch break too... tired tired tired, but my English essay's dued this Friday, so I have to do it... annoyingness!

lil miss me...

Haha! I'm such in a mood to blog!

Missing home... I can't believe I went shopping and I only spent $20! Proud of me! An achievement! Haha... I resisted temptation... well, almost... Hehhh! But I had a good bargain alright... 4 DVDs for $20. I bought Pearl Harbour (I haven't watched it), Little Man Tate, A Christmas Carol, and Agent Cody Banks 2. Yeaaaa... Soooo... I have to control myself from watching tho! I've got an English essay dued this Friday. But shopping's such a great exercise! LOL! Well, for me it is, I have to walk about 45 minutes to town! After church, I can spend like 3 hours non stop walking!! And then I have to walk home again... But don't ask me why I'm still putting on weight, no idea. I calculated right, by the rate I'm walking now, I should be as skinny as those model gals, but somehow something somewhere went wrong.


Oooh, I spent like almost an hour playing piano at Allan's again. Woohoo... But I don't think I'm as good as anyone there. Sadness~~ Should have practised harder last time... Ach jaaa... too late for regrets... This is like me and Chinese. Haha! I want to learn it now when I don't have the chance, and when I had the chance I didn't bothered.


And oh, I found another hobby. Haha! Camwhoring... LOLzzz!




PS: something to ponder upon... If you met an ordinary man, who looked just like your average neighbour dude, who just walked down the road today and claimed that he was Jesus, would you believe him? What if he WAS Jesus?

I must learn to SHUT UP!!

I feel terribly bad!!! T.T Sighh... I should really REALLY control my big mouth but I am really extremely terribly sorry!!!! I was complaining about something, and the person who was directly involve heard me I guess... I really didn't mean to say that... =(

Anyway, to change the topic... I suddenly have the urge to cook. Stop staring at me like that ok... I do cook! Not often but, yes.. I do cook ok! The last time I cook, I made my version of mash potatoes, which turned up really really good! It was mash potatoes with bacon and veggie. Healthy ey? =P

Now... I was just browsing some of the simple recipes online... Some caught my eye... yeah, will let you guys know how it turn out when I finally decide to try it out...

I miss piano! Argh! I don't know why I'm always like this. I always want things when they're not available. When I was home, I don't think I even played that often! Sighh... First I missed playing guitar, now piano... soon it'll be violin. Though, I don't really like it, I don't know why. Haha. Ach jaaaaa, though the school has a piano room, it's like really fully booked when I have time. Maybe I should hang out more at Allan Music shop thingy. I can't remember the name. I found some nice piano music too, will print them out soon. I hope I can try them out soon!

Oyeeee... getting fat. I seriously don't know what to do to lose weight... haha. I know exercise right? Easier said than done... Owells, I have to find a way before I come back.. I wanna eat eat eat when I reach home!!!

Can't wait!

nothing better to do...

Well... Actually I have things to do... But... not in the mood, besides, I bet you all know how last minute I am anyway. Haha! Ssshhhhh! Mum's not supposed to know!!!

Don't know why I just felt like blogging... I don't get how fast this whole week has past! And... remember my weight craze a few days back, or was it weeks. Well, so not working. haha!! Oh wellz, I'm coming back with extra Aussie souvenirs to add on my German souvenir... If you know what I mean. Haha!!

Know what... I wanna learn Hokkien, Cantonese, and Spanish!!! But all so not working! LOL! I think I need to spend like a month with my grandparents back in Johore to master the Hokkien language, and then spend like another few months at my cousin's in laws place to master Canto, and then.... fly to Latin America to learn Spanish!!! Sighhh, I should have studied languages!!! It's soooo fun... LOL! Now I'm talking. Haha... Wait 'til I learn the grammar and then I'll start complaining. Achhh, regretssss.... I wish I really paid attention and learn Mandarin well... haha... How was I to know that I'll actually want to speak this language. Help me people, improve my Chinese!!! I don't wanna be the "banana" anymore. Haha! Oh ya... Any German speaking people here?? I need to improve my German and avoid forgetting it!

I'm starting to talk crap now... lolzzzzz....

OH YAAAAA!!!! ALEX (my cousin) IS GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FUTURE NEWLY WEDS!! My whole family's not going... Arlene (my sis) has her trials soon, like on Monday or something, so Dad's flying alone. Poor thing... I wish I'm home now... then I can follow my Dad too.... But I think the AS trials are around this time too.... Sigh, COUSINS!!! Pick a better time to get married can!! You guys always pick the exam periods. LOL!

Alrightyyyy... I think I better stop before I bore you guys to deathhh!!

Ooohhhhh yaaa, before I forget.... HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!!!!!!

Argh... I just heard that one of my friends lost a lot of weight!! I am like... more than 10kg heavier than her!! Actually I don't even care.. haha! But I don't know why I'm crazy over losing weight... Sigh... GIRLS! lol!

Ach jaaaa.... I am recovering from my sickness.... I feel very very guilty actually, 'coz I don't know whether it was me who spread my sickness to my other friends. T.T 2 of them are quite sick but not as sick as I was, but 1 of them is soooo soooo sick.. like... worst than I was. Sighhh.... I don't even know where I got this sickness from in the first place... But it wasn't my fault right? I have to recover soon!!! In 2 weeks time I'm gonna meet up with my young cousins, and I don't wanna spread it to them.

Spring has arrived since yesterday... but I am missing Winter already... I rather it cold than hot. I don't know why. Haha! But I complain when it's cold too. Sighhhh sighhhh sighhhhh... I complain too much... I am not looking forward to Summer.... *shakes head* no way!! The only thing I'm looking forward in the Summer month is.... MANGOES!!!!! and also.... my Mummy and Daddy, and Arlene and Matt are coming!!!!!

PS: I feel like KFC and Hungry Jacks.... arghhh.... food cravings!!

BeingME

Okie.. I realised that I'm such a lazy pig! Haha.. I totally ignored my blog.. I probably am the worst blogger on earth... Haha!! Bear with me people... I'll try to update this as much as posible. lol!

Soooo... let's start.... What did I do today?


Woke up early... like 9ish?? Ok, fine. it wasn't that early... shoot me. =P went down to the market, and saw nothing interesting or nice to be worth buying... Then... went to town... Chris.. a friend of mine wanted to get guitars.. he asked me for my advice.. HAHA!! I don't know why he trusted me... anyway, he got this dreadnought yamaha acoustic guitar which was not bad at all. It was cool... I'm so gonna hang out more often at his place playing the guitar. lol!!! Anyway, I checked out the piano there too. AWESOMEEE!!! I miss playing piano... ohhh, and then.. there's this piano teacher who came up to me and said, "You're classical trained aren't you? Try getting some Jazz books over there. They're good". And I was just like *mouth open wide*. Anyway, so in LOVE with the music store!!!!!!

Then I went down to South Brisbane with Hui Quan to meet up with my gorgeous cousins. We had dinner together, and then after dinner we were just in time for the fireworks which were so good!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! You guys should really have seen them... haha... oh.. and the jets!! COOL!!

Anyway, I had a great time!! Definately going next year!!

Some photos to share....

The jets and the fire works...

Sorryy, they're not that good... but you get the picture, don't you?

Sickkkk

Arghhh, it sucks being sick..... have been sick since monday.... and YES ON MY BIRTHDAY TOO!!!! still sick... and it's thursday!!! =(

Sick on my 18th Birthday...

I knowwww!!!! Annoying right?? I already felt the sickness creeping into my body on Monday. Well, my friend told me to eat some medicine, but me being me, didn't wanna eat 'coz I have this notion that I won't get sick... Well, it got worst on Tuesday, which was my birthday. Felt so emo too on Monday... Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I was in the Gold Coast last week.... Time really flies ey... Anyway, IT WAS AWESOME!!! First 2 nights were spent with friends... and then I countinued my holidays at my relative's house... Supposed to spend only 1 night there, ended up spending an additional 3 nigths... Haha... But it was fun!

On Monday, I went to Vivaldi concert, which probably was a waste for me since I was already not feeling well and I fell asleep like half of the concert. =( BUT!! I can say that the Spring and Summer were good. I was soooo drowsy in Autumn, and Winter I was drifting in and out of sleep already. So saddddd!!! =(

I was soooo sick on Tuesday, but it was a pleasant surprise my friends made for me... Deanic baked like 3 cakes in total, my housemate Sam gave me chocs, Hui Quan and Carrie made a Video for me... no elaborations.. haha! and Robbie gave me a Korean doll magnet, Deric sort of like souvenir/bday pressie for me were bangles and a magnet thingy, which was cool!! I totally didn't suspect anything!!!! Prolly coz I was so sick anyways...

ANYWAYYYY... I had a lil too much to drink... and ermmm..... no comments.. haha... you just go figure yourself...

On Wednesday, it was soooo bad..... I was soooo sick!! Skipped school.... Didn't feel any better tho... so today went to see the doc... Spent like $50 in total!!! $25 for consultation (after insurance) and then $25 for the medicine.

Ahhh... it sucks being sick...

emo+lame=shalyn

Ash came up with that equation...

I miss everything!!! Arghhh... I'm not homesick... I know I'm not.. I can't be homesick... I'm just emo... sighhh...

His scent filled up the room as he sat next to me... But he was just a stranger... somebody I didn't even know... but his scent.... that scent, I know... Sigh... reminded me of somebody... Should I be even thinking about him? Should I forget him? dunno... random... I hate randomness... oh... that happened today.. nothing to do with my title. lolzz

Oh... back to topic... emo+lame=shalyn... why?
'coz I was emo yesterday.. and lame too?? Haha... sad... miss u guys loads... Went to school on monday to be so emo... I thought I was normal, until people started asking why am I so emo... I think I should change to dress up like emo... since I'm so one. wtf...

but thinking more about it... I don't even know what triggered this feeling. so weird... Can't wait for mum and dad to come... I totally miss Matt and Lene so much!! Can't wait to see them again... and go shopping... and drive.. YESSSS, I MISS DRIVING!!! the worst thing is that, I think I don't even remember how to drive... o.O

feeling so español today...

dunno why... Was so emo yesterday... Couldn't sleep... I kept waking up... how that sucks!! and then when I finally woke up at 5 past 8am, I wasn't feeling well... How I manage to get to school only 15 mins late amuses me too. It's like the later me and my housemates wake up, the faster we'll walk to school. So, it doesn't matter how late we start walking, we arrive in school 15 mins past 9!! It sounds sooo Germany!!

Wait.. what does that got to do with feeling Español?? Haha... I'm listening to Spanish songs now that why...

Sighhh, Melli's going to Costa Rica!!! wie geil ist dass denn?!! So jealous... I wanna go too! Oh yaa, FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS CHECHU!!!! I was so damn random this morning... Funny and weird...

Missing u my Melli dearest... Have fun in Costa Ricaaaa...

Some random from Ibiza, España... since I'm so into Español at the moment...

I think that was at Sant Antonio...

La Playa

Melli and I enjoying in the sun...

Posing with the guys, David (Germany) and Michael (Switzerland).

Being totally amused with my Sangria... I don't know how much I drank!! o.O

That's all for nowwww...

Chao!!

missing my guitar...

So... here's the long awaited entry... lolzzz... yeah, I'm still alive...


Feeling emo lately... no idea why... the funny thing is that I've been doing so many fun things that it's rather impossible to be emo... Two nights ago I dreamt about losing my teeth. o.O and so I decided to go search for a meaning of this dream. There wasn't really anything else better to do except for my business homework, math homework, econs seminar and assignment... so yeah, I came across this site at a friend's place. And it said, if you dream about your teeth, it is "Normally an unfavorable sign in a dream. It signifies displeasure and also shows that you are afraid of losing someone dear to you." so weird...



So random...

Down Under

So yeah, I arrived like... on last last Sunday... in Gold Coast. I thought I would be staying there for a while, but no, I went straight to Brisbane after a night there.

Anyways, I thought... Hey... I'm in Australia... how cool is THAT???

Until I realise I have NOTHING to do until my classes start on Tuesday (20.05.2008), Monday's Orientation. Bahh!! Sad right, how the illusion of Australia tend to make things sound cooler... LOLzzz... I'm so bored that I actually am LOOKING FORWARD to school!!! o.O

Sooo, what have I been up to the past couple of days?? I got myself a bank account, I got myself a library membership card, I went to the city myself... yes, MYSELF... he he, met up with Suh Cing there and then she navigated me past buildings and buildings and more buildings, took a ride in the City Cat (it's actually a boat, i don't know why they call it cat), and to Chinatown and all. It was fun... really fun, compared to my other days... which was not so fun... =P

I realise on the day I stepped onto Brisbane land... (or earth or whatever you want it to be called), that... I was basically on my own. Sure I'm staying with my cousin etc, but... most of the stuff I have to do myself. Like searching for a room and etc. It was and still is a huge OMG!!! I mean, I'm not even 18 yet!! Guess what I just realised today... I left home at 16... I mean, some people don't even leave they homes until they are like 20 plus... My dad said, "Who ask you to go to Australia and make you mature so fast?" *speechless* Tell you the truth, I didn't expect to be that independent. But that's life, sooner or later you have to leave your mummy's wings and take of yourself...

How I wish it didn't have to be that soon... =(

Sharleah...

Haha, no, I did not spell my name wrongly...

Today, or tonight was the farewell party for Leah and I. It didn't feel like my farewell party 'coz... well, I wasn't leaving yet. It was pretty funny... LOLs... OMG, I almost died with laughter. So funny... Alcohol does many... funny... stuff... will not elaborate on it... Later somebody's face get redder... LOL... ok... I will stop laughing...

Oh wells, time flies.... so fast... Leah's leaving... so scary... so fast... soon it'll be me... but until then... i'll be just sitting around at home, playing SIMS, i know, I'm boring... waiting for my P license... so stupid, not yet one month yet... I SO WANNA DRIVE!!! but i'm so scared of taking the test... what if I fail.... no lar... cannot think negative. I must pass... so that I can drive! LOL!!

Oh... I'm going.

Scary how things fly so fast....

I'm going... Hopefully I have more things to blog about. Haha. But for now... ain't much happening you know...

Right.. So I got aceepted into this Uni in Australia. I dunno why I want to go there so much... it's just like... I dunno... seriously. Like God made everything happen and I'm just following the current.

Right now, enjoying my few weeks of holidays. Doing stuff I wanted to do ever since I came back... READING. Haha. I thought I lost my touch of fast reading, but I got it back. Hehe. OMG, I was so scared!!! But it came back after all. Now I have to write more, 'coz I think I'll forgetting how to spell. My English is so crappy now it's scary!! Oh, I might have to take an English exam... apparently my GCE A1 English might not be good enough. o.O damn, why now?? after I lost most my English... crap!

To go or not to go??

I wanna leave.... always wanted to... and then... suddenly something happens... I don't wanna go anymore... but I do... but I don't... I hate it when something happens and then you feel like you don't want to leave anymore.

Sigh... Might be leaving Kuching again... soon. I want to... I'm really sick of !@##$@#$#$#$ but so many happening stuff are gonna happen.
1. my friend from Japan might be visiting
2. my class is going to a cool school trip to a cave. (LOL, doesn't sound cool but wadever)
3. I made new friends...
4. I think I've attached myself to Lodge already...

Sigh... but if I stay here I don't think I can meet any University requirements... 'coz I'm just too... FINE!! i won't say it... Melvin will hit me on the head if I say this again. Haha. I'm just not a science based student... I think... Well, at least I feel that way. And if I go there it'll be a new start (I always say this, don't I?), new subjects!! (no more science!!), and guaranteed placement in UQ, a uni I wanna study in for psychology.

Sadness... But something happened this week... and now I don't feel like leaving... 'coz I got to know you guys so much more now... sadness... and we grew closer.... and it sucks leaving newly found friends...

But I wanna go.... but I don't... Actually I do... but I dunno!!

Anyway, not time to do decisions anyway.... not yet accepted anyway. til then, still have to bare with science. =(

The Great Escape

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight


This song is somehow or another stuck in my head for quite some time already, so yeah... it's sorta my fave song at the moment. I guess 'coz I'm really wanting for my great escape... Somehow I wonder how many escapes are we allowed to have in a life time? I hope more than one...

Do you feel sometime life is such a pain in the ass??? I just wish that my great escape is coming soon and that I can just forget everything that happen yesterday. No more homeworks, no more exams, no more worries about getting into Uni, no more lectures, no more time flying away. Just time and more time for myself...

So emo... swt.

Sowiiiiii

My appologies to all you guys who drop by... still patiently waiting for updates. LOL! Sorry yaaaa... I haven't been online for so long... So lazy to online with piles of homework greeting me everyday.

It's the hols, but still so lazy... Where did I get this laziness from hor??? So impossible la me. Haihhh...

Just bare with me... I have no stories to share really... I know... I'm a boring person. xp

Yeah, back home in Kuching...

Believe it or not, 2 days after touching down in KL and I got sick as in flu and stuff. 2 weeks after I got home, I got food poisoning. OMG!! I don't wanna think what will happen in 2 months time! ~swt~

Yeah, I went straight into school after 1 day rest. It was pretty much okay, but stressful. Don't look at me like that, I know I got home only 2 weeks ago, but that time's enough to make me stress ok. Tests and quiz seems to take part every week, and teachers tend to give us piles and piles of homework. Stop looking at me like that, I DO do my homework okay... =P

Sorry, I haven't had time to meet up with you guys. Time flies! even when I'm back home... LOL... My room's still in a mess as in my cupboard's empty, my suitcase is still full.

I hope I'm well enough to go attend the theory thing tomorrow. Apparently the Malaysian road goverment wnat to kill us with 5 hours of boredom. I hope I survive it with my upset stomach. sighhhh... pray for me. heheee... thx in advance.

Ok, i gotta stop. Just drop by here in case you guys thought I got lost on the way flying to Kuching. Haha!!

sitting with the heater turned up so high...

Yeah, preparing myself for 30°, sun, and heavy rain.

I won't pretend I'm not freaking out... It turns out to be so much harder to go back than to leave. Before I came, it was always suppose to be a year thing and come back to familiar grounds again. But somehow along the way my heart opened to new stuff and I learned to be one of them too. Now, it is so hard leaving and knowing that when I come back everything will be different.

I won't deny the nights I can't sleep I spend thinking about the future. Will we still be friends or will we just leave it as it is... Will I have new friends or can I fit back even after a year away... Will I be able to fit into my new school... Will you be able to understand I need time to re-adjust?

Well, there's so many things running through my head, and I'm not sure if you'll understand. I won't hide that I've change... not only physically but also mentally. I'm no longer this naive 16-year-old. I just hope you'll accept my changes as I accept yours. I'm just so scared that we'll grow apart, 'coz we haven't talked in a while...

I try to forget about the future by acting like nothing's changing, but stuff makes it hard to forget that I'll be leaving in a week's time. People asking stuff like, 'when you're leaving' hit me always on the head forcing me to make a countdown in my head. But don't get me wrong... stuff like going shopping without this little calculator in my head counting how much Ringgit it'll cost, dragging my ass away from Chinese Restaurants, not being able to join reunions, not being able to eat what I thought I'll get so sick of makes me realise that, no matter what, home will always be home even though it seems so foreign at the moment.

Ach... home seems so far away even though it's only a matter of days...

Silvester!!!

Technically it's no longer Silvester... Silvester's new year's eve... and it's 2 hours and 23 minutes into the new year already... So guys...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!!

Selamat Tahun Baru!!!

Frohes Neues Jahr!!

Xin Nian Quai Le!

Okie, I'm not sure if the last one is correct or not... Forgive my Chinese, I didn't learn it in school, so if my pin yin is wrong, help me correct it by leaving me a comment k??

So the fireworks were really crazy after 12am... after an hour plus there were still people lighting up their fireworks! But it was really misty that you couldn't see anything 50 meters away. You could only hear the fireworks. But it was still beautiful 'coz basically almost every house in my street lighted at least 2! People came out of their houses at 12 and started wishing everyone else Happy New Year. It was really nice.

Well, I guess you guys will be wondering and waiting for juicy stories about my Silvester celebrations... Sorry to spoil your mood, but I'm just a boring pig... I didn't really celebrate Silvester that big.

I started the day by going to sleep at about 4.30am plus... and then waking up at 9.30am, but only got out of bed at about 12.30am. And then ate my 'breakfast' of 2 slices of bread and a glass of milk and watched some film my host sister was watching. Later on I went online and read some Malaysian dude's blog about cycling from L.A. to Malaysia. I was pretty amused tho. After that I walked Akira with my host dad along the canal which was really nice. After showering, we had raclette for dinner which was really lecker!! After dinner, we played some guessing game and then Tabu afterwards. And before we could say Happy New Year, the count down was over. We hurried and opened our seck bottles and toasted to the new year and literally ran outside to join the orchestra of fireworks lighting up the misty sky.

I bet the others are probably really drunk right now but I'm all sober blogging... haha... what a way to start the new year huh? Well, it's a part of the reason why I'm all depress lately but I won't go into the details 'coz I don't wanna blog about something bad here... But like I said... or like I didn't say, it's egal! It wasn't like I didn't enjoy it at all right?

Soooo... I hope you guys had a more memoriable New Year Countdown... and wish you guys einen Guten Rutsch ins neues Jahr!! (A good slide into the new year!)

PS: sorry I didn't have any photos, like I said, it was really misty out there!
