Call

Just got off the call with my family, specifically my two sisters.

Asked them what they wanted from Australia and was amused with their answers.

The elder sister:

"Hair accessories that have big floral designs. And basically anything floral la.."
"Floral??"
"Yar. You know, anything with flowers."
"Yar I know floral. But you, floral?"
"Yar. They look nice and er.. decent."
"Seriously, you.. floral?"


Okay good that my floral sense is getting into my turning-decent sister hahaha =p
Can't believe you said "decent", you wild child, I mean wannabe wild child hahaha


Baby sister:

"Arllooo lowmeiting"
"Hmmm.."

Initially she didn't wanna talk because she's "too tired".

"你要present吗?"
"我要你回来.. 我写了一个letter 给你, 还没有post 给你!!!"
"要什么present吗?"
"Barbie doll toys.."
"Aiyo..that one you buy at home la.. Any present you want from Australia?"
"Australia ar...I want Barbie doll castle!"
"Huh!! Castle ar.... 很难勒..还有吗?"
"我要..Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck 的 ribbon"
*Scratches head*

Elder sister
"Aiya she's not making any sense la, she's falling asleep on my lap. Remember my floral arrr!!"

Updates!

Hellooooooooooo all, guess you have been staring at the same post far too long to continue visiting XD

Weeks leading up to the break were hectic but let's skip those parts. Highlights of the past week or so:


Tuesday - Buka Puasa with Azy

Took a train to North Melbourne where Azy lives and was introduced to her housemates =) Buka-ed puasa at 6 pm and ate Finaz's signature dish - Ayam Malas (Lazy Chicken) XD. Sedap!

Then had some girly session with Azy before leaving her place at 8 pm! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, hope you're enjoying yourself back home now! And thanks for your gift =) Can't wait to see you again!

That night led into an unforseen travel "adventure" on trains and buses due to railway tracks repair. Travelling time = 2 hours hohoho. Witnessed verbal vulgarities on the way home, resulting in grimaces and big-eyed listeners on the bus. lol. Thanks to adventure LIVE update on facebook mobile, my trip felt shorter!


Friday - Work, KFC and Peeping

After work, met Boon and we ate KFC!! I've been craving it I smell it on the train! Cravings not satisfied though, ain't as finger-licking goood as imagined.

Boon

Boon and I went to Melbourne Central to buy her sim card but ended up buying my stuff instead paiseh. She then brought me back to Melb Uni gym to do some "peeping" haha. =X

Hope you're enjoying yourself in Adelaide with family now!

Friday Night - Download Craze

As we had some leftover internet qouta due that night before 12 am, bro asked to download as much as possible. So spend the entire night thinking of songs to download, raced against time! Thanks to those who recommended me songs! 75 new songs wheee ~ =)

Did a fair bit of Google Earth-ing too :D Thanks to YOU!

Saturday - Sleepover

After work rushed to the bus stop only to realize that I left my handphone at home lol. Which explained my (and Chen Hao's) tardiness for Andrea's Sleepover! Sorry!

Joined Jia Yen, Pei Wen, MC and Audrey at Andrea's mini sleepover :D Her new house, located in Tarneit (along Werribee line) is gorgeous. Luxurious yet cozy home. The night was spent away watching Bewitched and The Terminal, (on her oh-my-god 50 inch plasma TV !!!) and some of them played MahJong and Chor Dai Dee :D

Only pic in my camera. Sweetnya. XD

Had a mini girl talk later wheeeee XD No idea what time we slept.


Sunday - Volunteering at High Vibes Music Festival, High Street Northcote

The next thing I knew, it was 7.30 am. Thanks to Andrea for fetching me to the train station to catch the 8.16 am and I left to the city to meet up with my cousin.

LEFT my handphone at Andrea's house, I seriously can't believe myself. Reached Flinders and used the public phone to call my phone and bothered Jia Yen to use my phone to sms my bro, Xia and my cousin to tell them what's happened, and to meet as scheduled. Thanks Jia Yen >.<

Met up with Peggy and we took the tram and bus to Northcote!

As her shift was from 11-2pm and mine from 2-5 pm, I roamed around myself in the morning. The weather was awesome!

Northcote Municipal Office (also Kidszone for the day)

Mini brass band :D

Working on a design with used lighters :D (morning)

Saxophonist!! :D

Such convenient prams!

Peggy

Witches?

I even shopped for abit, how can one resist beautiful blouses and jackets going for AUD 5 each? haha then went back to take over Peggy's shift at 2 pm.

All afternoon we collected donations, calling out "Gold Coin Donation for OXFAM" and I also gave out the programs for the day. Xia joined shortly and together we worked till 5.30 pm. Sheer joy :D Most people were very generous =)

After others took over our shifts, Xia and I walked around, by that time, the crowd has built up in tenfold. The ambiance was all merry and gay, with street jazz bands, staged rock bands etc. Some even danced to the music :D

Some horn-like instrument


Lighter guy!!! (evening)

Rock band! :D

Jazz like band


Drinking on the roof? hehe

All huddled for a good beer in the evening



Xia with hers :D haha (Tasted like tea!)

Me, Ally (Coordinator) and Xia

Went back by train to City with Xia. Then went over to Jia Yen's to collect my hp >.<

Reunited with Peggy for dinner at Hungry Jacks! Cravings was once and for all - satisfied. The burgers tasted heavenly. So yummy I feel hungry now XD


Monday - Karaoke Session
Met up with Jia Yen, Andrea, Pei Wen, Mao mao, MC and Jian Hao to sing sing sing at Party World. Party World looked like a 5-star lounge and we had a whale of a time! Listening to beautiful voices, watching MVs adorned by lengzais like LeeHom, enjoying sensational lyrics, topped with good drinks + food, what's not to love? hehe

We then had dinner at Coconut House :D Yummy chicken rice!

When going home, I took the wrong train to Epping. OMG. Was engrossed in bro's friend's Archie comics (Jughead Double Digest!!!!!) when I looked out of the train and thought, hmmm Rushall? Nope, definitely not my line. >.<

Got down at Merri when it poured heavily! Waited for train back to city for 20 minutes, then stopped at Clifton Hill. Waited another 5 minutes for my ACTUAL TRAIN. haha reached home nonetheless, tq to bro who picked me up :D

Then Skyped with mum, sis and a little of dad for 2 hours. Engaging!!!! :D


**

Slept in today, one of the rare moments for weeks!! haha Felt good :D

Replied all my overdued emails and checked out this link my cousin Ying sent me!

Just before the day ends,

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST COUSIN XUAN

&

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO CHLOE !!

**

These days, my life's been filled with studies, work and family & friends' contacts.

An ordinary day usually starts at 7 am and ends at about 12-1am.

Really tiring at times but feels great to be maxed out.

On another note, Grandma,

your Pui Pui misses you.


PS: A cycle.

End of July

First and foremost, Happy Birthday to Dad and Daphne, 31st July babies!

Superdad, enjoy your weekend 50th birthday celebration at the hotel!!

Daphne, hope you enjoyed your celebration last night =)

19 was a day of realization and appreciation. For those who genuinely cared, mattered and all that's worth after all. Even those miles miles away. Enough said =)

Thanks to those who called, mainly from Malaysia, my dearest family (with personalized birthday songs from sisters, parents & Granny), love you all! And from Sri, Juliana, Zhi Shan (a surprise at 11.54 pm)) & Leying + Xiao Wei + Wei Han (really warmed my heart that night, you trio!)! Thanks also to Bryan for singing to me online!

Thanks to those who sms-ed me (especially those from home), who wished me on my blog and also at 12 am sharp on msn and to the many yous who wished me on Facebook =) They may seem simple, but thoughtful nonetheless, I appreciate them a lot. Arigatou!

On that day itself, many thanks to Gloria for lunch, and later for your special attention to my poor foot! And for the pretty gift! =)


Thanks to Xia for the afternoon cake + drink, plus your hand-made card (which I won't publicize here, for your sake XD) + gift, and for searching high & low in China for the Huan Zhu series! AND for purposely wearing BLUE for me! XOXO



Thank to Sara, who've sent me a birthday card all the way from Brisbane 3 weeks before, to which she sealed it with a "Do Not Open till 30th July"! Simple wishes that made my day. =)


Thanks to Rachael, for your Ten Gifts, through your gift of words. I can't ask for more. Treasure =)

Thanks very much, Jian, for the card + beautiful Victorian-inspired jewel box, definitely suits my taste, and for making it for the dinner through much difficulties =) And for your blog post!

My camera doesn't do it much justice, trust me!

Thank you to Jia Yen, Pei Wen, Jian, Andrea, Daphne, Kor, Ming Chin, Chen Hao, Mao Mao for organizing a birthday dinner for me at TOTO's! And for the scrumptious birthday cake =) =)
