Cutting down cost

Look, im trying to cut down cost as much as possible.. cos it just means so much to me now. Today's class's at the clinical school, so that probably goes to say im spending my transportation cost on the bus fare. But today i followed SooYee's car. Her bf drove us down(seriously her bf is SO handsome compared to pics-.-), and that means i get to save the bus fare for today. *evil laugh* told ya im secretly a miser :p And he offered to drive us down every Wednesday and Thursday, and we'd come back using the uni's shuttle bus, which is FOC!!!!!! hahahah... So i guess i can deduct a 'lil out from my normal transportation fare...

Update version:

Fixed cost:

Rental: $420
Phone (House + Handphone): approx. $60
Utility: approx. $20
Gym: $72
Transportation: approx. $10

Total: $582

Groceries, eat out, misc.: approx. $200 (by eating out less)

Total: $782

A $130 difference from the previous draft-out... well... a good progress... and these few days i've made a few extra bucks from selling off my 2nd year textbook, and im gonna get a part time job soon :p That's great. When dardar came, i would have extra few bucks to spend :)

Blessed!

Im blessed with nice friends

Yes, i mean it. I realised the friends i had around me were so nice :)

While i was walking home from uni today, i saw Alex in front of the TUU, and he's on his way to the Engineering building for Pharmaco lecture.. so we walked and talked, and when he's reached his destination, we said goodbye and i continue walking. But there was this group of blackies surrounding the path and they were like so miang lor..... Luckily Alex came over and offered to walk me home -.- i never knew he could be so nice and gentleman. Hahahahahha.... I said it's ok, i'd just take a detour home cos he'd be late for his lecture if he walk me home first. Hahahahahha.....

So then he walk me till half way after passing the group of blackies :)

p/s: i think im rather lucky today. Luck's shining on my side :p Prof Clark offered to lend me his collections of Biomedical research textbooks for my literature review without conditions :p, and he even offered to burn me a copy of the lectures slides.. hahahah....
And while i was in sandybay picking up grocceries with Iry, i was offered a job!!!! omg, im just talking to sooyee yesterday that i'd need a job this year, and i got one today. The boss from TouchOfAsia was walking pass me when she approached me if i still want to work with her and i happily said yes!!!!!!!!!!! hahahah.... and she said she's gonna call me up later after arranging my working time... Woooooot!!!!!!!!!!!

In desperate need

In desperate need of a pick-me-up in the form of a care package.

Why does Chinese not have the habit of posting care packages?

Its a good thing, it will pick up the gloomiest days and most unhappy girl.

Yeap.

You see how much i need it.

Ugh.

Look what they have? So cute!












I'm a princess kit.













The Freshman Survival Kit













The Exam Cram Kit













The fresh grad kit

Warh lau.... Its genius i tell you! I should have opened this business...

But then again, who will buy? Not like there are many sweet people in the world who would do this kinda thing.

ahahahah

My only customer will be me!

See... i've got my own pick-me-up packages too :p Every single piece of letters i received throughout the time when i was away from my friends..... Awww... how i miss them >.< style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Ber, Jess, Siaw Wan, Amy, Lydia, Katalina, Auntie Joyce etc etc...... Couldnt name all. AND.......... cards!!!!!!!! ahahahaha.......

Lunch with the gang

was super crazy!! zzzzz..... and im still feeling so bloated now, 3 hrs later. Guess i'd have to skip my dinner tonite.

Monday's timetable wasnt very pleasant either. Had to work in the lab for a freaking 7 hours non-stop, trying to clone the bacterial cell (1st prac for the sem)... but im proud to say i've succeeded!!!! :p cos it's like only 2 groups succeeded, and the rest, like 6 of them, failed. Well... in the middle of the prac, we're given 20 minutes to have a break, and we sneaked out to the ref to have our lunch.. Me, Emme, and SooYee ordered a piece of lagsana each, and it was so huge i couldnt finish it up, but when the boys came, they forced me to finish up what's on my plate -.- they are so mean!!! After lunch we loathe around in the ref and i met up with Fynn and she's sooooo sweet to make me lunch *hugs* i mean she woke up so early to prepare lunch for me, but not knowing if she would meet me.... well..... i finished up everything too!

And after that we gathered outside UniBar with SuLing, Ely, and his bro, and we forgot all about our break time, and spent the next 20 mins talking =.= gosh!!! And i quote Alex "wei, you guys dont wanna go up still?" Lol......... He's more obvious of the time than us. All in all, we used 45 mins for our break instead of the given 20 mins. wakaka.. And then i met my new housemate, Winnie, and she treat me sandwich..... Eeeeek!!! What a day! Everyone's treating me lunch :p but i told her i'd save it for breakfast trmw :)

After prac ended, SooYee asked if we wanted to join her at the apartment for a little get-together, but i declined, cos i have to go run the threadmill now, and then to Fynn's new house.... again! hahahaha

till then............ i got a real tired monday today :p but a happy one

Btw, being a final year student is soooooooo COOL!! We can have break anytime we want, we always have tea-time during the prac (we have really nice cookies and beverages, and everything's provided by the uni!!!), and we're seniors!!!!!! hahahhaha....

p/s: every single girl in the gang had the same hairstyle! omg omg omg....... all with fringe.. and everyone's started to go heavy on their make-up now. Ahh!! How we all changed overnight! :p

The day before a new beginning

Uni's starting tmrw. First day of the first semester in a final year of uni. I know i just gotta work extra hard this time. Twice the work i've done before.

Everyone's coming back today. I get to see so many familiar faces in this once a quiet island. But everything doesnt seems to be like how i want it to be. Im feeling so strange and awkward and uncomfortable around these people. Has the time drifted us apart? I looked for amelia today, and she's like my new friend. Felt better with her around. But i gotta face up with the truth.

I dont know what will tmrw be like. I dont know what i would be saying to friends around me tmrw. Other than the few greetings? Sigh...

As im typing away this, im drown in some confusing thoughts. Everything is so emotional around me. Listening to Tank's zhuan shu tian shi doesnt make me feel any better. Baybee has been drunk in his own world of mahjong (or whatever shits) since like forever. If someone were to ask him "what's your gf name?" now, he'd need like a few minutes to gain his consiousness before answering. It's so pathetic i know. But i've lost the attention i once used to get.

I've tried this before. Being abandoned for no reason (or perhaps there is a reason.. i just dont live up to it) and when u gain your consiousness, it's all too late. i dont like this feeling. i seriously doesnt like it, and i do not want to re-live my past.

yes... i rmber...... im gonna be a new me. Im just soooo not going to live like this.

Sooooooo......

... looking forward to tmrw. Everyone would be back here with me *evil laugh*

and i so miss my old room... been going back now and then just to sit around, but Iry's gonna be back tmrw and the room would be fully hers. boohoohoo....

I havent been updating any post since my test on wednesday. Armed with all the lucky charms i have, i set off for exams. Hopefully i did well. Ass hurts so much after the 2 hours cos the f*cking chair is so damn uncomfortable. Grrr...

After exam, came home, *plop* on the bed, and didnt move any bits more til the next day. Just lazing around, watch some movies, and well..... simply just lying around. Called mom after that, and gosh, im starting to miss her again. Miss home so much again. Im in such a big mess. Mom asked if my room was clean, and i lied. It's so dusty. And i simply can't stop sneezing due to the dust. Rudolph the red-nose reindeer has come out before christmas. lol....

In order to let time passed, i cleaned my room EVERyDAY. Wipe here and there, every single corner. but still, it gets dusty the next day. So annoying. and i just can't stop cleaning. just to get my mind off things.

Bah.............. one more sleep and i will have friends :)

i miss my sis :(

Kiasuism

When samples are up for grabs, i take....

When someone does bad to me, i repay them 10 times worse....

When there's a party, i always want to be invited, even though sometimes in the end, i don't turn up....

When i am losing at board games, i sulk....

Even in card games....

If i throw parties, i want it to be an impressive one...

When there's a sale, i buy like crazy.
Nice not nice also buy. Because so cheap what...

When i am in a team, my team MUST win....

At getting-to-know-yous I wear 2 name tags....

Kiasuism still runs in me.

I wish i was kiasu in uni.

I sort of am done with 90% of my revision already. (but i just know i got to finish up 100% of it and memorise the too-important points. so that i got nothing to lose. it's always like this.)

So allocating minimal time to whatever extra bits i need to revise before the exam, it's another session to go.

And when im done with the exam, i got to move all my things into the new room. Which, contrary to popular believe, is really NOT going to be easy. Furnitures and stuffs you see?

And i need to clean my new room up and down another time. To make sure it's free from irritating dust.

ArgggGhhhhhhhhhhh.......

Going to go read up articles of the law now. And im already so sleepy *yawn*.

~*Regina is listening to Everything You Do - Christian Bautista* <-- i think he sings such sweet songs. ~*Regina is feeling stressed*

happy pig year 2007

Ok, look! Yesterday was 年初一 of the lunar calender, which means there would be no more excuse for myself to procastinate anymore. Instead of finding excuses like "my body still think it's 2006", i have to live 2007 now.

There's like so many things i have to get it done this year, and hopefully i wont have to brought forward any of them to next year *touchwood*
1) Graduate from my degree (i seriously wanted to get out of uni asap, so this leads to no.2)
2) Work twice as hard as before (i need to aim for an average of credit to get into honour and masters)
3) Apply for PR if it's really necessary (If just sis getting it would help, then guess im free from it)
4) Look for a job in Singapore (There's like so many biotech vacancy post up in the net, just gotta try my luck - and then get into NUS for honour study :p)
5) Visit Lydia in Wellington (if baybee isnt coming in June/July, then i'd be off to Welly)
6) Drink more water (For a better complexion, after mom invested like over a thousand bucks on Sothys product for my "look-better" complexion)
7) Budget out on my spending (Trying to save as much as possible, stop shopping therapy during stress periods)
8) Run the threadmill at least 3 times a week, 3 hours a time :) (i do want to look good in my graduation pics, alrite?)
9) Control my temper, change my attitude, be less clingy, be a new me (i know i need constant remindation on this, but i swear im gonna be a new me by the end of 2007)
10) Live like a 21 yrs old =) (Party hard before i get any older)


Phew, that's a long long list of things to be accomplished by this year. And i wish lots and lots, tonnes and tonnes of health and happiness to everyone around me, from my dearest family, to my loveliest darling, to my bestest friends around, and all the bugs around me!!!! Happy 2007!


p/s: JiaNing, thanks for constantly updating me of the cny atmosphere in miri.. i appreciate that so much.. and thanks for distracting me from getting too homesick during this season! :)

笨蛋

女: 很多时候我因为怕受伤
所以就選擇先放棄
我更因為我太愛自由
所以明明渴望愛情
卻依然不知怎樣讓別人進入我的世界。

男: 难道,我不能给你白粉白的信心吗?
你知道,我一直有多在乎你。

女:
我珍惜這份安全感,
卻擔心他的犧牲。
所以每天的感覺還是孤獨的。
我還是需要一個人,

一個人想一想。


單身,是茫然; 戀愛,也彷徨。



这种感觉,你了吗?

All i want

All i want, is to love you for the rest of my life...
To wake up every morning with you by my side,
Knowing that no matter what happens,
I'll be able to come home to your loving arms.

All i want, is to grow old with you,
To watch our life unfold,
Our dreams, one by one come true,

All i want, is to love you forever

Holidays with you

"Tasmania is a land to do and to see...."
Many thoughts have been going ard in my mind recently. With dardar visiting me soon (i hope!), there's list and list of things that i've been collecting throughout my years in tasmania that i reluctantly wished to do with my bf. Just a getaway perhaps, but with the one you love, that's the best! from my point of view :p

A weekend getaway - Freycinet Lodge

Freycinet Cabin - A large one-room cabin. Ideal for a couple or two adults and a child. The lounge/sitting area is part of this room and a balcony is accessed via glass door. Bedding configuration consists of one queen-size bed and one double sofa bed. Main features are:
. ensuite bathroom with
shower
. private balcony


Price: approx. $189


Or do you think i should upgrade a bit and get some chemistry going on in the night? haha!!!

Wineglass Premier Cabin - top-of-the-range cabin, suitable for couples only. These spacious open-plan cabins are for the discerning traveller and feature a fresh new style for Freycinet Lodge. They have quality fittings, a king-sized bed, double spa bath(hehe!!), cd player, complimentary welcome platter, etc. The ensuite bathroom includes separate shower and quality toiletries, hairdryer, fluffy towels and bathrobes. (lol!!)

Price: approx. $266

Hmm... i'd still think dardar would love the 2nd cabin :p

Foods/ Restaurant - Ball and Chain Grill

Located near salamanca square, serves the best steak here. Though a bit pricey. "A traditional cooking method using only charcoal, no gas or electricity, which results in a unique flavour." SOunds fantastic isnt it? :) Even a simple Scotch Fillet costs $32.50 for a large meal, and Eye Fillet's $42.00 -.-"


Or we can head to somewhere more romantic - Prossers on the beach :) "Best Seafood Restaurant in Tasmania".... Gosh, seeing only the pics made me drools all over my keyboard. The pricing's not too bad, with nothing over $30 for the main course :)


Or more casually - Fish Frenzy, where it serves the best fish and chips in Hobart. Ahaha.. memories~~ God knows how much WE love fish and chips :p Hell, this is nothing more than $15!!!

There's too many to list down. But here's a choice of 3, from posh to romantic to casual, which i definitely wanted to try out with my darl! *winks*

Attractions - Salamanca Market
Only available on Saturday. No matter sunny or rainy or thuder or storm. It's one of the tourists attraction in hobart. Oh well, what i wanted is just getting some light food, and sit on the ground enjoying the breeze with dardar. Doing it alone sucks big time, y'know? This is what i've been doing every Saturday since i got back last month :(

Or head to the beach to relax or enjoy each other's companion in a quiet environment. We have so many different types of beaches here. Long Beach in Sandy Bay, Seven Mile Beach, Carlton Beach, etc etc.

And then.... other attractions such as.... Royal Botanical Garden, Wineglass Bay, Richmond, Mount Wellington, Maria Island, Port Arthur, Hobart waterfront, Bonorong Park, Tasman Bridge, Derwent River, etc etc...... Now, im getting so lazy to upload pic. Cos all i wanted was to chill with darl. So guess the above would be the best :p esp. the spa room in Freycinet Lodge. ^^

p/s: Dar, if all these isnt up to your taste, then we can just chill at home lar... hehehe....

valentine's song 2007

This year's valentine's day, dardar surprise me with this song. I quote baybee, "Too bad we can't be together this valentine, but you know you're always in my heart. This song is for our valentine this year, and you're forever my angel." awwwww, im gonna melt in his arm :)

Anyway, this song's by TANK - 专属天使

我不会怪你, 对我的伪装
天使在人间是该藏好翅膀
人们愚蠢鲁莽,而你纤细善良
怎能让你 为了我被碰伤

小小的手掌, 厚厚的温暖
你总能平复 我不安的夜晚
不敢想的梦想, 透过 你的眼光
我才看见, 它原来在前方

没有谁能把你抢离我身旁
你是我的, 专属天使, 唯我能独占
没有谁能取代你在我心上
拥有一个专属天使
我哪里还需要别的愿望

小小的手掌 , 大大的力量
我一定也会, 像你一样飞翔
你想去的地方, 就是我的方向
有我保护, 笑容尽管灿烂

没有谁能把你, 抢离我身旁
你是我的,专属天使, 唯我能独占
没有谁能取代你在我心 上
拥有一个, 专属天使
我哪里还需要别的愿望

要不是你出现, 我一定还在沉睡
绝望的以为生命只有黑夜

没有谁能把你, 抢离我身旁
你是我的, 专属天使, 唯我能独占
没有谁能取 代你在我心上
拥有一个, 专属天使, 我哪里还需要别的愿望



updates: i get quite a lot of sms this year, and one of it from JiaNing which says that "Love is not only made for lovers, it is also for friends who love each other better than lovers...." isnt it sweet?! Haha.. but guess it make sense.

CNY eve

I miss the atmosphere at home. Last minute cleaning, hanging up lantern, helping mom get ready the foods, most of all, i miss mom's cooking on this special day. Where all family members would gather for this short dinner. After dinner there would be chit-chatting session in the living room. After shower, there would be new pyjamas to wear. After that everyone would gather in the living room watching tv, while waiting for 12am and played fire crackers to mark the beginning of another new year.

Eeeek. How i miss those moments!!!!

But all i can do today is.... bought some grocceries home, cook a simple meal (fried noodle, chicken soup, vege), shower, and study. No eager of waiting for 12am. I just wished it could pass faster, like, when i wake up tmrw, it's already past new year. As if i could just sleep through the cny, til everyone comes back here! hrmph!

p/s: do u have any idea of how to stop yourself from being so clingy? i need some instant therapy now. I get so home-sick during moments like this :(

p/s2: I do not want any new clothes this cny. I just want to go home to be with my family. Still, family rules!!!

busybee

i was in uni most of the time today. It was the final day of class for my biotechnology law. From 9am till like 3pm. Jammed with classes and group discussions. You would think that i would be dead tired now but i really am not. As boring as the last 3 hours of lecture was, i managed to pull through (not saying that i paid attention lar) but at least i didnt yawn and fall asleep. After class, Prof. Dianne showed us "Gothika" the movie for almost 2 hours, and then me, Leah, and Andrew went to the library for some group discussion to finalise our assignment.

Maybe the daily exercise in the gym is really doing me good.

Ahahahaha

Maybe i had one hot milktea too many, im starting to think if milktea has the 'wake up!' effect on me? It used to have....

ahahahah I know what you are thinking, just another excuse for me to take even more right?

Bad.

My friend made a really good point today. Why do ppl from certain country (i dont dare say what country exactly here lar cos i really dont know who reads my blogs nowadays) but for ppl who know my jokes (its the race that didnt die in the accident and paid 50 bucks to re-live his life). *laughs hysterically*

Anyway, yeap, ppl from that specific race always raises their hands for the stupidest (if this word ever exist) things. They will raise their hands to say they agree with the lecturer and repeat what she just said. OMG. Damn redundant right?

Waste time man.

Lecturer: Managers should pay attention to not only the areas that are satisfactory but also to hygiene factors that may act as a stumbling block.

Student from that specific race: (raises hand) yarh... i think managers should pay attention to hygiene factors.

Like wth? Like that also wanna say? Damn wu liao lor. Waste the rest of the class' time just to repeat the same thing.

Dont get me wrong, this particular race has the brains, they are famous for making lawyers who can make the wrongest wrong right, doctors who can work miracles etc. (my mum actually knows a lawyer from this race who purposely goes around doing things eg: going to the dentist, getting his son tutored etc and then in the end finds something wrong with the service and threatens to sue and refuses to pay up in the end). Crazy. But some of them are really unbearable.

Anyway, that's about all for today...

Tomorrow will finally be a day i get to sleep a bit later. It's Chinese New Year's eve afterall. Will spend my time celebrating in the gym i guess. That's the only way i can get my mind of all the celebrations. Or else.... i will be home-sick once again.

Wei... Random question....

Do i look like im from china????








How about in this photo??






Cos i sort of think that that will be what i think if i were another student in uni looking at me. And to the matter of fact, while we were forming groups for the assignment in class last 2 weeks, so many of them thought i were from China and all i can do was *blink*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Those pics were how i look like in class normally worrrr....)

Look like anot?


~*Regina is feeling energetic*
~*Regina is listening to Whats Love - Ashanti and dunno who*

Money matters

Gosh. Looking at my bank account, not much left to survive for the next couple of months. I seriously need to start budgeting and quit shopping. For real.

Fixed cost:

Rental: $420
Phone (House + Handphone): approx. $60
Utility: approx. $20
Gym: $72
Transportation: approx. $40

Total: $612

Groceries, eat out, misc.: approx. $300

Total: $912

Oh FUCK. If i wanna save the amount of money like i've planned, means i am have to look for a job (work + study at the same time) until i graduated and leave Australia for good. Besides, that also means, no more shopping therapy during stress period. *Sob sOB*

Someone please kill me.

Being Materialistic

Sometimes life can be really ironic.

A lot of people work really hard, trying to achieve their dreams.

However, there's no perfect situation in this world. There's always trade off; u gain something and lose something at the same time. That's the opportunity cost of gaining.

Most of the time, when you think you would be the happiest people on this earth after achieving "something". However, when you really achieve it, you dont feel as happy as you thought you would.

In most cases, you will be in a state of confusion. You will start asking yourself, is this what i really want? Did i work so hard just to be at this state? What have i miss out in the process of achieve it? Am i really happy?

Within months, i work hard, spend hard to get stuff that i always dream of having. I thought i'd be happy. I see those as an achievement. Yes i am happy, but with a littel confusion. The so called achievement, i'm not really proud of it. People may see the posh side of me. But deep down inside i know i'm far from being THERE. I'm far from being at that stage. The "me" now, isnt the "me" i used to know. Have i change? Have i gave up my principles and start acting like the norms? Or am i just trying to push myself to work harder to buy happiness? Suddenly i felt lost.

All i know is, from the rate i am spending, i'm gonna die soon.

Please Kill Materialism.

=(


'lil Regina's self-esteem is down the drain today.

Thanks.

Valentine's Day...

... is today


14th February 2007...

... marks the 3rd valentine's day i get to spend with dardar

... but well.....

.... it's an ocean apart this time













...nevertheless, close in the heart :)



Past valentine's are always spent by having dinner together, exchanges of presents and kisses, an early shower, cuddling up watching movies in the room, which automatically leads to some hanky-panky stuffs as the night wears in. Sigh. How i miss those moments of lovey-dovey feelings.


p/s: im working on the song that dardar sent me for this special occassion, but still getting quite a bit of trouble finding the "pin yin" for the lyrics. lol. will update it asap :p

Just beautiful

Someone wrote me a poem today...

Just Beautiful

She's always smiling,
Ever soo refreshing,
With her my heart stopped beating,
Her gaze every soo captivating.

Like a blossoming flower,
She reminds me of summer,
Bringing warmth in this breezy weather,
Life could not be better.

Her every moves ever soo graceful,
Her presence make things meaningful,
With her everyday's wonderful,
Life is just beautiful.

I wished i could be her knight,
Guarding her day and night,
But try as hard as I might,
Another man's already in her sight.

Still, I look forward to every morning,
Waking up to a new beginning,
With her everyday's interesting,
With her life's beautiful, never boring.




well, all i can say is... a beautiful poem for a lonesome valentine?? Bah!! I still miss my dardar so much that my heart skips a beat everytime i think of him :)

p/s: I think im getting Alzhemier already, despite my age. My memory sucks badly now. I forgot ppl's name right after i step out of the class. And worse is, i've just been told like... 2 hrs before(???!!!!!)

情人节

还有大概两个小时。。。

应该有所期待吗?

2007 年情人节, dar dar is not with me :(

偏偏心里又很想有一次可以像童话般一样。







Anyway, 知道不可能的事就不要想太多了。

Today, i received my Valentine's present from baybee :) But what makes me so happy isnt receiving the present, but after i saw what dardar wrote in the card *winks* Dar, this time round, you've really see through me, you knew what i was thinking, and you wrote the things that i wanted/ expected you to write :p It's so awesome! *hugs*
And i absolutely love the present! It makes me feels soooooo *ahem* sexy. No. it's loved. Dont think too much, peeps!

Im soooooo looking forward to see you again *muacks*
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!!

My not so productive life

So the new year didnt really go off with a bang. *hmm*

I noticed that i havent been very productive. I havent done what I meant to do before the new year comes. I havent completed packing my room, I havent auctioned off things I dont want anymore and I havent really jumped on the threadmill since 2007. I think my body still think its 2006 (I keep writing the wrong year in assignments.) Bah.

So what have i been doing? Going to the class, doing discussion and finding lecturers has taken up all of my time. And when i get back exhausted at the end of the day, i just plop in the bed and doze off. Dinners at 9 and falling asleep at 10 isnt the best thing for my body right now. Arghh. So little time.

And on top of it all, my planner is already full with appointments and glittery with stickers marking the occassions coming up. Trying to squeeze as much as i can before the semester starts. And another thing. Australia - The Land I Love (i'm trying out a new positive attitude for 2007 ok.... hopefully thinking it isnt so bad will make time pass easier).

How to get so much done la before the semester starts on the 26th?

Now that i've missed the chance for a new start for the new year, i'm going to go by the lunar calendar. So it really wouldnt be a new year till the 18th of February right? I sure do hope i can, if i dont need to study for my law exam. This is ridiculous. Studying on cny? crap.

Well, the time now is 10:30pm. I dont want to sleep cos i've slept the whole afternoon already, since i got back from gym. (yet another day gone to waste. great.) And i will be needing to wake up in another few hours to go to the gym again. Hard core right? It's so hard i tell you. I've just started to run the threadmill in 2007 and now both my legs are cramped.

I miss 2006. or at least the beginning of 2006. where my troubles seem so far away... Cos I Believe in Yesterday......

Jet Lag


Damn it! When i was back in Miri for one month, I couldn't adjust to M'sia time.

Now that I'm back in Hobart.... I am living M'sia time...

Wtf...

Eye bags are 10 tonnes heavier.

Natural panda eyes without needing eye shadow.

Worse, im already back in Hobart for a week. Been attending class with this zombie-look of mine.

p/s: Anyone has any recommendations on how to get rid of this really obvious eyebags? I mean like... instant therapy??? Oh God.....

I'm back

Yes I know. Its been quite some time. You, my friends, should be happy that i'm still alive after living without a proper speed internet for almost a month! Goshhhh... how did i manage that? And guess what? i got to do all my bloggings in words, and paste them over to blogger while helping out in mom's office. Lol...

Got new haircut. Here's the pic(s)...

with my current obsession of over-sized sunglasses... *grins*
