Pictures for the week.

5 more days before the last paper.

I know that I will do well, although I have mixed feelings for it.

Anyway, I going to start mugging for the week, excluding the 1 month I have spent reading up on it for a month.

Went for a farewell dinner with my friends from Melbourne University at La Porchetta.
The yao siu pics can be found here.

(This is a pun on Jerome. Your random zi pai pictures are there too.)

As for the pics for KEVO's birthday.


Pictures for Kevin's Birthday.


Farewell dinner...

Just came back from E's birthday party. Both E and Sarah looked really stunning. But it was rather a surprise to see Sarah in a dress, since I've always seen her in a casual attire for aikido so far. But really, its nice.

Anyway here are the pics.


Daniel's friends.


Me and Sarah


E and Kate.

Dreams coming true...

Hmm..I just read my friend's blog.

My dream is coming true day by day.....Nooooo!!!

I dreamt that I was having dinner with her at a common friend's wedding. And she was telling me that she was going to Arizona for volunteer work. And I acted like I didn't really seem to care, but yet in my heart I was thinking how I would convince her not to go. So contradicting. But what was I to do? I kept thinking of how she wouldn't listen to what I say, since I'm not a VIP in her life.

I could only wish her well for the trip, since I was playing the role of a friend in this life. I wished many times that the role I played could change, but I can't seem to get to the major part where I would be that someone there, I just can't see that chance coming. Yet when the party ended, and she left....

My heart cracked again. And I woke up. Could I change the ending of the dream? Probably as the old me, I might have just continued waiting. But I realized I've somewhat changed. Who's going to know that I'm thinking of such things in my heart, if its not known? But what if she already has someone in mind, like she told me earlier. Would I end up in the 3rd person view again?

What is so special about her?

Going ons.

I won 50 bucks worth of bonus credits....for my handphone. So happy. But at the wrong time when I don't really need to use the bonus credits.

I want to get a box to put in the stuff that I'm going to send back home. Wonder where can I get the service for the sending of stuff back? I got lotsa books and stuff to send back.

Went to celebrate Kevin's mini birthday celebration, since he wants it small, so his way lor.

While surfing the net today, I realized I completely missed an album of Jay Chou in 2004. My neighbor's a fan, so got all those missing tracks from her. Also managed to find pics for the artwork of the music tracks. I used to think classics and instrumental music were for wusses, but now I beg to differ after getting muy lip's files. Really nice listening to them as they help me to relax. I would consider uploading them onto some site to be able to play on the blog, maybe.

As for Nobby, he tells the time basically, and acts as a very fun, though some may consider me to be bo liao of me to get. Well, so far only lystra is the special one that got to see Nobby in action....=P

Call Nobby. Ask him a question and he will give you an answer. I'll show you once I get back, Cindy!

The flies here are damn irritating. Going nuts.

Parcel Arrival

I just received the parcel I ordered from RMIT.

Wooo....the merchandise has finally arrived, though the problem at hand now seems to be the issue of shipping these stuff back to Singapore.

Welcome: Nobby and Lava Lamp!

I wonder if my family is going to kill me if they see this entry.

Since I would be moving to a new place. I thought I should shop for some new accessories for my room, if I get one, that is.

But to be on the safe side, I got 2 small personal items.

Missing out stuff in life....

Some things have happened this week which really serves as encouragements that I'm not alone.

For example, my neighbor, Linda, gave me a slice of her birthday cake. Yay, at least someone remembers me.


The Cake that Linda gave.

Then yesterday, Kevin, Shah and me went down to Ballarat for a day tour in the old mining town and the wildlife park.

Pictures can be seen here.

I really loved a couple of the pics that I took, especially of the cute koalas. Looks so cuddly and cute.


Sitting on the roof of the hut.


Looking around...


Found U!

Then I took a picture of a kangaroo with a joey in its pouch.

Cute right?

Also took a picture of an eagle...Looks like its staring.

Stared.

One funny thing to note was that up till now, I didn't realize my Z60 could take fast-paced image, due to not switching on the function...Aaah. Wasted so many good shots of the past.

Finding myself, Fading links.

Argh...back to the time.

I realized, during every holiday I gotta talk more, else I will become nervous to talk.

Have I ever mentioned?

I used to be a hyperactive, silent and non-friendly person.

but what am I now? I don't know....Can someone who reads my blog please tell me? I'll be including the entries of people who give comments on this. heh. Thanks.

Christmas seems to be coming in another month, and this will be my 2nd Christmas always from my family. The first was spent with my fellow soldiers and dogs of 36th SCE. Yeah, although most of the time I don't look like it, I miss home.

Miss my family, my little pretty sister and cute brother. I miss the times I woke up in the morning to switch off my brother's irritating alarm. Miss opening the door for my sis whenever she comes home late. I miss my dad, seeing him in the morning making breakfast. I miss my mother too, miss her cooking. I miss seeing my Aunt Patricia and Uncle Gilbert in church. I miss my friends Nani, Desmond and Claus. They were there for me for so many times in my life.

I miss my friends, Siu Fung and Kenny, going out with you guys over the weekends, out to chill, miss meeting Joy out in Bugis, its the only place that I always meet her. Miss Guojiu, Sean and Zixian, for our bi-monthly KTV sessions. I miss my other friends, Pei Pei and Ray, haven't seen them in a long time. Miss Soe Thet, Norman, Edwin, Henry...the times where we had aikido training together. I miss Daniel and his fiancee, Adelin. I miss Miss Goldfish, Cindy, my great friend Alvin. When can we meet up again?

I miss my grandmothers, my cousins and the little toddlers, mainly, Matthew, Xinyi, Xinhui, Dominic... of the family. I miss my basketball, my bokken, jo and tanto...when can I have that familiar grasp within my hands again? I miss feeling the 'twang' of the bow whenever I fire the arrow at the target...

I miss my tutelage under Instructor Ahmad. I miss the little tots and kids in my aikido class, missing rewarding with chocolates here and miss the 'uncle' black belts in my dojo...I miss the training in my dojo, where the training here cannot be compared to...

Whats more? I miss life in Singapore.

Prayer of Peace.

I managed to find my rosary prayer book after three days, and I happened to chance on this prayer of peace, by Saint Francis of Assisi.

Really meaningful.

LORD, MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is offence, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;

O DIVINE MASTER, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be love, as to love.

FOR IT IS IN GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born to ETERNAL LIFE.
Amen.
