c'est la vie

Hello world! I haven't blogged in ages and I'm biding my time till 10pm so I can call Singapore! Anyway, I shall give  a brief update of my life so far.. Not sure if anyone will care to read this but oh well..

I'm in Canberra now.. and so far it's been pretty fun! I was sooo homesick the past few days but I've met some new friends and everything's getting better.  I went to an international students bbq and met new people!  Some from Frace, Holland, india, Venezuela etc and Singaporeans! yay! So now I hang out with Ankita, Kwan Ling and Ellise who are studying Econs, zoology and Acturial Studies respectively.

Well, who said Canberra is boring?!?! There's a big shooping mall in the city centre with shops like Target, Myers, Big W, Cotton on, Jay Jays, Jeans West, Portmans, Country road, Krispy Kreme, Hugo Boss Blah... the list continues.. it has the same stuff as melbourne and brisbane (I checked with gabrina!) So I won't be bored to death. There's evena cinema and a few asian restaurants! We have a lake nearby where we can walk and jog around and there are 2 factory outlets!! (whoohoo!!) My sis says it's comparable to the one in Melbourne ok!

Ankita wants to take salsa lessons and Ellise wants to take women's self defense so I might be joining both! We tried to recruit people to join salsa with us, like Antonio but we found out he's a Venezuelan who can't salsa!! The disappointment.. I've also been having spanish conversations with him like I can say random phrases like "yo quero taco bell" which I learnt from the taco bell ad in the states and it means "I want taco bell" and he'll just say "si" hahaha.. And I can sing La Bamba which is spanish right?? I want to joing scuba diving too but it's sooo ex. Will probo have to work before I can afford to go but no worries, jobs here pay around $26 per hour!  My friends are also planning to go to Sydney in our 2 weeks break in September! The bus ride there is only $15 anyway!

Anyway, life is pretty fun at the moment. i'm going shopping at the DFO tomorrow with the girls! Yay! hope I find nice boots! 




 

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY VERALYNE TAN HENG BING!

Today was totally LOL.
We were supposed to "surprise" vera with a treat at sushi tei but since those anal people wouldn't let us make reservations, we had to rush there at 6.30 to queue up. bleahhh. Anyway, we reached there at 6.50 and made reservations there and then and they told us we had to wait for 40 mins. WTH!!! Gay was going to meet vera at aljunied at 7pm and guide her to sushi tei later but she reached city hall at 7.09! SHIIITTT!
So we stalled. LOL.

We brought her to Ben and Jerry's and ate Triple scooped Chunky Monkey, Fish Food, Strawberry! Then since we're manly softballers we kinda ate very fast then shit.. it was only 7.23. stall stall stall. "OK vera, we are going to blindfold you with dii's shawl and lead you to your secret eating place" (Ties shawl and covers vera's eyes) "Okay, now we're going to spin you around so you get disoriented" Spin spin spin. HAHA.. Then we led her around and around the basement of raffles city. Then belle suggest going to Cocoa Tree to buy jelly beans and we proceed there.
Then belle asks vera (who is still blindfolded) to help pick out the sweets. lol. stall stall stalling. Gay and I decide to proceed to sushi tei to chase those idiots. Meanwhile, dii and vera handle a crisis!!! Apparently some ang moh dude went up to dii and asked "what are you doing to your friend?" Dii explains and then this (NOT CUTE) dude faces vera and syas in a freaky manner "oh in that case Hi I'm David Beckham" LOL. Omg.. freak. 

Vera say cheeeese!


Leading around the blind girl. Tissue paper, 3 for $1, please buy!
 

Gay and her beloved conveyor belt.


HAHA. okay fast forward to dinner. We gave her her present (a box of pictures and 8 reasons why we love her) then gorged ourselves on foood!!!
(: Salmon sashimi, tempura, sushi, california hand rolls! Free flow of green tea! YAY! (: This is JAPAN PART I. then we chatted till 10.15 about stuff that we always talk about like prom, AFTER A'S JAPAN TRIP WHICH WILL TOTALLY ROCK! We're going to have a harajuku day out in tokyo where we wear pleated skirts and high socks. We're going to go to a BUTLERS CAFE! It's kind of like the maids cafe but with CUTE ANGMOH WAITERS who dress as butlers and serve you. I saw it on discovery travel and living and you can even take a picture with your fave butler! He'll carry you when you take the picture with him. (omg, I hope he can handle my fat ass) HAHAHA.. so looking forward to it.

And today belle said something that was really touching. i'm paraphrasing but "I realise we never run out of things to talk about. We can go on and on forever even if we talk about the same old things I never get bored" Aww.. and it's true. LOVE ALL OF YOU GIRLS (:

No matter how much life sucks, you know you can count on your friends. Reeeaaally close friends like these, and I feel lucky because I know some people haven't found such great friends yet and may never in this lifetime.
Loves <3

My darlings!
 

Guys really piss me off. Every single day.

I'm so glad I was in a girls' school for 4 years of my life because if not, i'd be irritated like hell every day and would've decided that being a lesbian was so much better.

idiots. and feel free to (insert any other words that have the same meaning)

Or maybe i'm just PMSing.







Naw..

I went to watch WE WILL ROCK YOU at the esplanade yesterday with my sis. In my opinion it was really GOOD! (: 
The seats weren't thaaat good as compared to those I sat in for Dim Sum Dollies even though they were twice the price!
Well, the story was about the future when creativity and freedom didn't exist anymore and rock had died, but there was a group of rebels called the "bohemians" who wanted to break free. The leader was some dreamer called Galileo Figaro and he had some babe called Scaramouche and they were supposed to break free from the suppression of creativity or something like that. Hard to explain the whole story but anyway, the singing by the Galileo dude was really good! (: The band esp the electric guitarist was like, off the hook!!! When they played "We are the champions" at the end, everyone was waving their hands in the air and the atmosphere was really..nice! Then the last song played was bohemian rhapsody but I'm not that fond of that song even though apparently it was Queen's most famous song. Then there was a standing ovation and everything. Oh, when they played "we will rock you" this grooving granny in front was like punching her fist in the air.. haha. Coolest granny I've ever seen!

I was having an interesting conversation on the phone just now with gab and we concluded we should live life to the fullest and try out everything! i don't want to be some average person living some average life so.. before we die we're going to..

1) go to prison
2) get a tattoo (i'm dead scared of needles)
3) sky dive (with hot instructor included.. if our parachute fails we'll still die happy)
4) date every single kind of guy there is out there (ie. emo, weirdo killer, preppy geek etc)
5) go on a double date with siamese twins! 
6) Smoke (just once)
7) Get a personal trainer and get hot bods!
8) then.. after getting hot bods, eat to our hearts content and become obese!

and.. haven't thought of the rest yet but there's more to come! HAHA. 
 WATCH OUT WORLD. HERE WE COME AND WE PACK A PUNCH!

Don't friends just make life a little easier to get through. (:

I love his voice! sounds kinda Hinder/Three Doors Down/Vertical Horizon/Daughtry.
Nice voices to listen to. Nice songs to listen to when you're wondering about life.
Must get Jingren, my personal music downloader to help me download everything!

Today I learnt that getting into LSE is just as hard as getting into Oxbridge. Minimum 3As just to do some normal course like business or something. Ohhh great.. and the fees plus living expenses are 35,000 pounds which is like 100,000 sing dollars a year?!

Truthfully, I don't know what to do with my life after JC. I kinda always had my life planned out for me.. Now that I have so many choices to choose from I'm just spoiled for choice. sigh.. This is depressing shit.. and I haven't even sat for the ultimate most major exam in my whole life!! A'levels! 5As?!?! Hopefully! Well, I totally know I'm gonna fail CTs.. double sigh..

I feel so.. urgh..

Life is downright depressing.

On a separate note, VJ vs TPJC for SRC tmr. I know we can do it girls.. mind over matter. 

We get knocked down, 
but we get up again, 
you're never gonna keep us down. (: 

Well, what an unexpected day today. B!!! (:
Unbelievable. Unexpected. Unpredictable.. but i'm not complaining!

Met long time friend BA PO( aka alison tan)! She really cracks me up! It's like time hasn't passed. (: Work on those pull ups girl.. you need to pass!

Seniors came back for results today. So happy for all those that did well! 

I've totally changed my mentality about softball. Trophy. Champs. Nothing less. I can't be both a failure at studies and softball. FEAR IS TEMPORARY. REGRET IS FOREVER.

And.. quote of the day from the movie leap years that I loved oh so much!


"If you're not too long, I will wait here for you all my life"  (:

 

"In three words, i can sum up everything i have learnt about life: it goes on" 


Yet sometimes, you wonder where it's bringing you...
What your purpose is...
And what you end up with when it's all over.


Take me to heaven now. please.

So this is my first post of the new year and probably one of my last because well, now i blog very sporadically. Anyway.. I spent the last day of 2007 with the beloved c'div 04 at billy bombers at marina square.. And after everybody headed to their watchinight services, vera chay and I went to chill at one of the most hip and happening places in Singapore THE WORLD! You'll never guess where that is! Then we camwhored while ushering the new year. HAHAH. Then I came home to drink some bubbly with my mom and sis (dad and other sis in India) and play scrabble. I cannot believe it but MY MOM WON!! omg.. and I came in a close 2nd! My lawyer sister trailed us by like 50 points?! HAHA.. pai seh man! Now a few random pictures of the day.

poonks. moonks, tiff, vera


Chilling at world's coolest place ever.



Juon returns..


Anyway..


I must say the years keep passing faster and faster. it seems like just yesterday I was attending vj's orientation but in just one day i'll be one of the ogls actually helping out in orientation. I truly hope it's fun for everyone! But oh my oh my.. where did my 2007 go?!? Let's see.. first half of the year was spent on softball..a disappointing result for that but it was really fun when not on the field. Then I struggled a lot with my work.. slept too much in class..stoned and didn't pay attention. Spent most of my days sleeping in lectures yada yada.. i should seriously improve on that!

This year I'm glad the five of us in vj grew a lot closer. I'm glad I made new friends in 07S37. I'm glad the brotherhood was formed. I'm glad I kept in touch with my old friends and met up with them in the hols. I'm glad the softballers/outhangers made studying less of a bore. But most of all.. I'm glad I made it through the year. Next year will be a whole lot tougher with higher expectations in many aspects. For one, my results have to improve drastically by leaps and bounds. no more sub-passing anything.. no more slacking and sleeping. For another.. We have to reign as A'div champions.. I know we can I know we can.

As for now..happy 2008 :)
