You know that time, not too long ago when I said that summer had arrived? Well I'm really thinking that I was wrong..the weather has been gloomy with patches of sun these days...it's even quite cold. I was also hit with my first case of hayfever on Monday and it was so bad...I had to use paper towels to soak up my snot...better effect than tissues...arrghhh! I hate it =(


Oooh! Also on Monday something exciting was delivered to bf's work place...my mod-chip for my DS!! =D=D=D Now I can have hours, days and months of fun for free! No buying games for me..they can be downloaded...hehe so norti but oh so good! I am so in love with my DS that it is getting a bit sad...it goes everywhere with me and it sleeps beside my bed each night haha...anyway enough of my wonderful life saving DS for now...


At 12:00am on Tuesday, I smsed, facebook messaged and MSN messaged my favourite Ama a...HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY! Teeheehee! Then I went to sleep...around 10 hours later I woke up and I didn't do anything in particular during the day because my stupid internet was down...iinet kind of sucks. So my DS saved me =D In the evening, bf and me went to Gelares for Ama's mini birthday gathering...it was so cute! ahaha. Jas, Jennie, Jennie's special friend called Charles (I think), Wei2, Rach and John were also there to celebrate. We had waffles...so yummy and we also bought Ama a banana split =D That looked really good and she ate it all up by herself..good girl! After Gelare we went to Utopia for some bbt and cake =D We got Ama a tiny fruit cake and shared it amongst 9 people...it was just enough for our full tummies. We sang the happy birthday song and requested a song! We sat around chatting and watched Jas's karaoke comp video...such a "powderful" voice she has =P After that bit of fun, it was getting late so we all headed back home! Hope that you had a great birthday Ama =) *hugs*

Oh and also, happy birthday to the pirate =)

I'm looking at recipes atm...I want to hold a dinner party now ahahaha. Anyway...I guess that's it for now =) Later days!

Yes, this year is definitely flying by fast. This weekend has flown even faster, especially with the arrival of daylight saving! So sad...I wish the year would slow down just a little bit...

Anyways, my weekend started on Saturday. I spent the morning planning a lesson for my student, which was quite enjoyable...I just love the early childhood years =) I went to bf's house to tutor for around an hour. Alice has really progressed since the first time I worked with her. She's really opened up to me a lot more and is speaking to me in English and understanding the things I say, which is great...and I guess I'm also learning Chinese in return ahah. The good thing is that she's enjoying the lessons, which is a relief...but what I really want her to do is to use English more at school and according to her mum, it seems she's still a bit hesitant in doing that. It's a challenge to get her to communicate, but I'm quite determined to help her...I'll work hard on it =)

After tutoring, bf, Alice and me watched some Playhouse Disney cartoons...it's been ages since I've watched a cartoon and things have just changed too much. Cartoons are all 3D now and it kind of sucks...the novelty of cartoons just isn't there anymore...maybe I'm just growing up and have lost that appeal in cartoons? Or...maybe not =P Anyway afterwards, Bf brought me home to get ready for Mel's engagement party. I had a really hard time deciding what to wear...I even dreamt about what I would wear the night before...I just need to update my wardrobe badly. Only problem is...I can't bear to get rid of old clothes because I keep thinking that one day I might want to wear them again. It's like that with everything too...I really need to learn to let go of things. Anyway, I settled on a black top and dress with a necklace...kept it simple and safe =P The party was held at the Flag and Whistle Hotel at Fremantle in what I was told a pretty dodgy looking area...haha whoever told me that wasn't wrong. There were abandoned buildings and ships surrounding the place, but the venue itself was quite quaint. Mel had hired the whole place out and decorated with balloons that were the colours that I had suggested haha! Mel looked so pretty, I loved her long curly hair...so envious! She was soooo tanned as well. All of her friends resembled her, tall with long hair...I felt so out of place. It was pretty awkward when Bf and me arrived, we were the only ones there from work and also the only two Asians. Naturally we kind of hid away and snacked on food and there was also free alcohol all night and I suppose I made use of that treat =) Soon, people from work turned up and as a group we overtook the couches and chatted away. It's so strange to see my boss dressed up...it's almost..scary...she also kept giving orders to the girls to get her food...so funny. Bf's work friend was also at the party, so he had someone else besides me to talk to for a while...just shows how small Perth actually is...his friend was a champion sausage dog breeder and also had a cute and tubby son who drooled alot...he was rather entertaining for a while. Time went fast as we were enjoying ourselves more but Bf and me left the party without any cake because we hadn't eaten dinner but it was all good, we went to Sandrinos at 9:30 and had chilli mussels, seafood risotto and also crab linguini...dinner was well worth the wait. Stuffed and bloated, sleepily, we drove back home and I slept like a great big pig =)

Today, I woke up early (not just because it was daylight savings) and just enjoyed the morning...something I haven't done in a while. I even went outside and admired my mum's vegetable patch, even though she was growing bitter gourd...yuck. Early morning soon turned into late morning and next thing I knew bf picked me up and we headed into Northbridge for DIMSUM! We saw Eva, her bf and cousin along the way...they were having dimsum too ehehe. We went to Dragon Palace and the line outside was huge! We got a table straightaway though, which doesn't happen often....but yey! The food was really good and I think we over-ordered too...had to force ourselves to eat...bf ate 6 or 7 har gaos...wat a pig. After that we walked slowly towards the mall, but along the way we stopped to look at some display outside the art gallery, which had really amazing prints that had been taken of places around the world...it was really nice. The mall was packed with people when we got there, so I had to do a lot of direction changing and dodging...good for improving awareness and reaction! We browsed alot of shops, but didn't buy much...failfailfail! But one good thing, we finally completed the task of buying our "couple rings" ahahaha...so silly, but oh so special =) We also had fun playing skill testers at our favourite toy shop and ended up spending a lot and won nothing! The toys were so cute though! I must show you guys where it is one day =) After shopping, we drove out of Perth, up north and tried a restaurant called "Katong" that sold Singaporean foods. The place was very empty, the menu wasn't very big and seemed expensive, but once we had sat down, there really was no choice but for us to order..we ended up trying the katong laksa of course! It wasn't too bad, not the same as the one in Singapore but...I guess the only way to eat authentic Katong laksa is to go to Katong in sg! After dinner, we went back to bf's house to digest in front of the TV, where I fell asleep...nuuuu!! I'm becoming more and more piggy...must try and workout tomorrow! Oh well...at least the weekend was fun! Glad that it was an awesome w/e for bf..I just found out his Liverpool won...such a die-hard soccer fan...and congrats to your beloved Liverpool, fool! Yey! I can't wait for next weekend =)

Haha hope you enjoyed my crappy poem, which was dedicated to none other than my not so crappy dorky =)

I received a letter today...I am now an official and registered teacher! Ahhhh..I'm so happy, relieved, excited and yet...I'm not...because the truth is, I'm not at all prepared to enter the workforce...this moment has come too soon! My friends handed their resumes to schools weeks ago and they have been raving on about how they have just completed their first week of relief teaching... I'm really happy for them and a big congratulations to them too! In the back of my mind though, I am actually starting to panic a little...I have not even distributed my resumes to any schools...I guess I'm putting everything on hold right now beause all I want to do is just enjoy freedom, but I can't... I'm really feeling the pressure from the people around me...and it isn't just about work for the present time, it's also about what will happen next year...gosh...that question has been lingering in my head for such a long time now, it doesn't seem to leave me...I just need to breathe. Well I guess things will become a lot more clearer by the end of this month when I find out which school I am allocated...so I hope it's all good news. It also seems as though the end of year trip to Singapore is off...sigh...was looking forward to it, but because of all the uncertainty of next year, it just doesn't seem possible...oh well looks like I'll be stuck here in Perth! Hope that everyone enjoys their holiday...whatever they may be doing =)

After all those thoughts, as glum as they may seem, I guess today has been pretty average..I didn't do anything in particular. I woke up and the house was empty...Coco wasn't even in her usual little red beanbag, which was odd...I ended up looking for her around the house for 15 minutes...I even called her, but no reply. I found her behind a couch in the end...stupid snobby dog...but then again, I think she was just stuck and needed to be rescued. I also managed to workout for an hour...a good effort I thought, but I probably didn't do things right! I was also under the aircon the whole time, so I didn't break out into too much of a sweat..hehe. For lunch, because we have soooooo many eggs at home, I decided to make curried egg sandwiches..smelly....but nonetheless yumyum. Then I went through the difficult task of cleaning under my bed. It was so dusty and full of rubbish that I couldn't part with, so I just packed them in boxes and stored them in the shed =) I vacuumed my room too.. I can't believe that I have been sleeping in such a dirt-infested room! At least the air is easier to breathe now. Then for dinner bf and me went into town to eat Korean..it was good as usual. We went back to his place to stick stickers on cherry tomato punnets as a way of earning easy cash. By the end of doing the stickers though, we were both tired so he dropped me home and here I am now =) See...nothing too exciting today...hopefully tomorrow will be more eventful!!

The hot blazing sun, cool breezes, bugs, slushies, flipflops, BBQ's...summer is fast approaching! I don't even know how to react to it...am I dreading it or am I am looking forward to it? As long as I've got air conditioning, plenty of fruit to munch on and good lazy company...I'm good with summer =)

The weekend has been really great. Yesterday after I tutored, I explored bf's jungle/bush-like backyard as he was fixing his car. It was the first time that I had really gone outside and soaked up some sun, it was such a peaceful moment, then suddenly....I took one step forwards...my foot came into contact with some long dead grass...such deadly grass...which made my short stumpy legs slide forwards and backwards uncontrollably (just think of someone, like me skiing without skis or just remember how well I skate on ice and you can probably imagine the scene), and then my useless legs just gave way by sliding backwards and thank goodness my hands made contact with the ground. But, to make things an even more sigh-worthy moment, as I turned back to find some patch of ground without grass to step on (to save myself from more injury) I slipped again....double sigh...I hate long dead grass that lie randomly on the ground!! Amazingly enough though, as all of this happened, I did not utter one sound..not even a squeal! which meant no one saw meeeeeeeee =D I thought about not telling bf to save myself from embarrassment but I did, as I do enjoy attention from him...what I got was an "aiyo"..cheh...next time I think I will force myself to squeal!

Today was a bit more eventful than yesterday's episode I suppose...only slightly. It felt like a true summer's day...only because I was outdoors for most of the time. Bf picked me up and was much chirpier than usual...it could only mean one thing...soccer today. To start the day off, we picked up Calvin and Kendoll and made our way to the Elephant and Wheelbarrow pub in Northbridge, which is also a meeting spot for the Perth Glory soccer fan club. I felt kind of isolated...being one of four of the only Asian people and one of the only few girls in the pub, but that really wasn't a worry at all because we had goooooood pub food, food just makes me happy. I had bangers and mash for lunch =D After the yumyum food we, including all the Glory fans started walking towards the Equity Member's Stadium or was it the Member's Equity Stadium (so confusing!) for some soccer fun. OMG, it was the most uncomfortable walk...it was so hot. Kendoll showed me his modified nintendo DS as we walked...it was so awesome...I now know that I don't need to buy games, I can download hundreds of them for free and store them in a memory card...wow...hours and days of fun, here I come! Annnnnyway...we got to the stadium and the game had already started. The boys didn't have high hopes for Perth Glory and insisted that missing out on 10 minutes of the game was nothing...but I knew they were lying =) I think throughout the game, instead of watching it, I was trying more to not to sweat in the hot scorching sun and kept laughing at how 'into' the game the boys were...funny stuff! Other things I saw was a little boy falling down the steps, a really hairy ear that belonged to an Italian man, sweat dripping from Kendoll and bf's foreheads and the scoreboard...just in case I got asked about the score (which was 2-1 Perth Glory btw). We headed back to the pub for another drink, actually two and recapped the game...with the wonderful air conditioning blasting. For dinner, bf and me went to Tea cafe for some asian style spaghetti and baked rice, which really made the day even better. Can't wait to do all of this again in a couple of weeks =D

PS: I love my DS!!

I got a white Nintendo DS Lite today....JOY!!!

xxx (especially to my sweet dork)

I'm finding that this year is flying by so fast that I've hardly had the time to reminisce on much at all. This year just keeps running away that I'm afraid that I will suddenly fall into the year 2009 with quite a shock and without any mental preparation for the year ahead. Ah, it's scary....can't wait for Christmas though!

Anyway, let me backtrack a little into the week that has just been...

I started the week with work at the percolator and after half a year of not being there, I've found that it hasn't changed much at all. The same faces are still there, along with a few new faces. I find that everyone is super nice to me and let me get away with everything....still! Everyone is still bitching to me, asking if I want food or drinks every other minute and it is still always me who gets sent on important mini jobs like banking....it's a little crazy...why is this, is it because I am likable? hua hua hua, if I am I wonder why I don't work more often...hmmm I guess laziness always overrides my decision to do that...sigh...if only they knew how I really am. On the plus side, I've been getting extra cash...happy happy shopping shopping! Also, my workmate, Mel invited me to her engagement party. Her bf had proposed to her whilst holidaying in Bali...so sweet! Anyway, she asked for my input on decorations for the party...woohoo, I'm so excited for her...hopefully I'll make the wedding, which is still at least 2 years away!

On Thursday morning I attended the Target sale, expecting it be filled with bargain hungry shoppers and found that it was just me that was hungry. I bought a number of skin products and then headed to work...nothing super exciting happened, just that time laboured on, felt like there was no end. After work I came home and scrubbed the essence of work from my skin and I waited for bf to finish his work. We shopped for a few essentials at Riverton Forum, dropped off some library books and we made it to his house, where I chatted to his parents and brother for a while and scored lollies from his mum. His brother kept bullying me, but I soldiered on and survived the taunts and in the end I was given a free headset, like the ones pilots use! Hehehe, he likes me afterall =P After that episode, bf had to drop off his radiator to a friend because his car emitted scary smoke from the engine a few days ago, while I was still in the car..so inevitably, the car had to be fixed...bf was a bit depressed for those few days..poor bebe..it'll be healthy again in no time. Afterwards, we headed out to Northbridge and had dinner at A Fishy Affair, which was omg so yum! Bf ordered a yabbie crock pot, which was a broth type dish and I had spaghetti marinara with a side of steamed veges...it was tantalisingly good. We then stopped by Utopia and ordered bbt for ourselves and Jas and her brothers. Bf drove to Jas's house and we had funfunfun drinking and chatting. I gave her some albums, movies and also Jay Chou's new album =D=D in exchange for Heroes! This was our first random visit to chicken...hehe we should do it more often, me thinks =)

On Friday, I had work again! The new girl working with us is a little weird...kind of really lazy too. Mel and me suspected her of taking cans of drinks without asking anyone...all because our boss wasn't in today....so sneaky. She also sat down for half an hour because she had bumped her head on the coffee machine?! I gave her ice and panadol and she sat as all our customers watched her while they ate. She also kept watching Mel's every move and tried to talk to her every chance she got and I could see by Mel's face that this new girl was getting on her nerves...it was interesting to say the least...well there wasn't much else to do but to watch her anyway. After work, I came home and showered...work literally stinks! Bf picked me up for we were heading out to Curtin's Pasar Malam! Weeeeeee, one of our awaited events of the year. The first food item that we bought was the heavenly Ramly burger from Malaysia...it had the Ramly burger wrapping too, but inside the wrapper was one of the most yummiest food I have ever eaten...ehehehe, tasted even better because we were hungry. Bf also bought chicken curry rice, explaining that he had to have some sort of rice dish in his diet. We scoffed that down and then found curry fishballs, fishcake, squid tentacles and prawns on sticks and gobbled those down too with such glee on our faces. I saw Jenny there with her brother and we caught up a little bit...then saw the people from my church selling food..hehe. Ama, Jas and Wei2 arrived and we continued our food expedition, where we found all sorts of delights. Saw SF, working at a satay stall hehehe...her satays weren't too bad either. We also had $1 teh terik and I had a fruit kebab. Saw heaps of people there, especially bf, who stopped at every corner to speak to someone...no way are you more popular than I am! We enjoyed some music entertainment too to cap off a great night. We had heeeeeeaps of fun! So happy that we went =)

Now it's Saturday. I woke up at 10am and found my parents grooming Coco. She had poop stuck to her rear for a few days and was really grumpy and sensitive about people approaching her, but I guess my parents cornered her good! She's cleaner now and a lot happier I guess, well at least she's doing her spastic zigzag run! Anyway, I'd better devise a lesson for my student now...so I'll update laters =)

So I cut my own hair today...I really don't know what made me do it, definitely not my own head I assure you because I remember it shouting "Don't do it, Evy! Don't do it! you'll regret this later..." But did Evy listen? No! She did not. It wasn't just my own head that advised me against this ill-fated act, I had 2 other bodies that had sided with my head, "I don't think you should do it....Are you sure you want to do that?", oh...but that unknown urge to snip away was just too much to bear and I just..did it....Afterwards I decided to look through some of the photos of my hair BEFORE I cut it and almost cried, how painful...reality just set in. You could say that it looked like some dog mauled the front of my hair or you could also say that it looked like some piece of abstract art....I didn't see it as the latter. I assessed my head from all angles and you know what? That stupid urge came back and I did the unthinkable...yes that's right, I cut more hair! Now I bet you are all dying to see my masterpiece? Unlucky for you I fixed it =) But do me a favour, if I ever mention that I want to cut my hair...send me to a hairdresser quicksmart to prevent those unwanted tears from rolling down my face! That is all!

Last night I ended up thinking too much about something that had been happening for a while, or rather, something that hadn't been happening. You might have thought that it was stupid and something of little importance, but do you think I have would brought it up if it hadn't meant anything to me? thanks to Jas last night who took my mind off things for a while, I guess you were kind of there for me without knowing it. I had a pretty bad sleep, my chest felt tight, my head kept racing and there may have been a few tears that were shed, I can't quite remember, maybe it was just hayfever. Sigh, I'm beginning to hate it more and more when we sleep on an argument, it's beginning to feel like nothing is cared about anymore. Back then, things used to be resolved on the night, but now they are being brushed away so easily within seconds. In the morning I always receive that apology. What would you say if I didn't want an apology? I keep saying that you don't need to apologise, you couldn't have helped it so there is no fault to be sorry for. I'm feeling like some things are becoming heavily routined and things that I initially loved in the beginning are disappearing. Do you think it's wrong to ask for them back? I guess I tried to, but that failed miserably. When things don't come back naturally...I know that they weren't meant to be. Now I'm left to think that some things should be left in the past as memories, not special gestures as I thought them to be. I guess I never told you how much I cherished and looked forward to it, but I always thought you knew. oh well...it's gone now.

I am not posting this entry with the intention of making you feel guilty or anything of that sort, nor do I want you to change because of what I have written. I am posting it because I just want you to know how I am feeling because I don't get that opportunity to let you know much anymore. You are so wonderful to me that I don't want good things to ever change but now I realise that I am being selfish. Maybe it's my turn to apologise to you for expecting too much so I am sorry for that.

I watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother last night about relationships from the past that effect present relationships. The current situation of the story was that two characters had a relationship that was fairly new, it was in my opinion quite happy. This was true until one of the characters mentioned his exes and also casually mentioned that he still possessed items that belonged to the exes. His girlfriend, I thought acted in a way that was quite natural, in that she was disturbed by it and acted by telling the guy that she was not comfortable with it. The two characters confronted their friends about it and asked them to weigh out their argument of whether or not the guy should get rid of those items or if he should keep them. The guys sided with the guy saying that these items were just items with no emotional baggage attached to them and should be kept regardless of where they came from. The girls fought that the items should go because it would make them feel uncomfortable everytime they saw the items displayed, causing them to overthink the issue. In the end the girls won by a vote in a tie breaker situation, although the point raised by the votee was inconclusive (as they usually are from Barney).

Now in this situation I would be a bit of a fence sitter, I see where both sides are coming from. Objects are indeed objects, they have uses but when someone of importance in your life such as your bf/gf gives them to you, they should have some significant meaning right? The object therefore becomes something symbolic, but when that relationship ends, the meaning that came with the object should too? Yeah, depending on what was given to you I suppose, it could be something worth keeping! Well then again, what happens when your ex gives you a photoframe with a picture of you and them in it and you cherish it, waking up every morning and going to sleep every night seeing that picture right until the relationship ends. Later, you form another relationship with someone else and he or she gives you a photo of both of you and you use that exact same photoframe given to you by your ex, to frame the new photo. Would your new flame feel the same about the photoframe as you do, knowing where it came from? Or would they feel as if they were a replacement? It might sound silly, but many people see objects as symbolic. People are emotional bodies that make meaning of almost everything and talking about the past including talking about exes can be a very sensitive topic. Because what comes with exes? many past shared memories including the giving of items and gifts. There is always a story behind every object that you possess such as why you got it, what are its uses or who gave it to you, why were they given to you and who you were with when it was given. If you held onto something that was given to you by an ex, it may seem as if you are still holding onto the past and still cherishing those memories. Alot of thought I know, but this can actually be an issue in relationships and it could result in your partner feeling that you are not 100% theirs, which then leads to other bigger problems including jealousy and insecurity.

So kids, if you are in a relationship, be true and fair to yourself and your partner- do you really see that photoframe as just an ordinary object or are you holding onto that photoframe because it is symbolic of something else?; be reasonable about things - are you thinking too much into things?; be sensitive of your partner's feelings - this pretty bracelet was from my ex bf but I can see my bf isn't comfortable with me wearing it, and also if you are truly committed to your partner, do show that you are 100% committed and also remember, it's not just the things you say that count most, it's also the things you do!

Hehe, gees that show got me thinking quite a bit! I don't have any exes to spill on but I have always been curious about past relationships and really find it an interesting topic because there are so many dimensions to it. Being in my first serious relationship has really made my life worthwhile because I am experiencing and dealing witH so much more and it has helped me to think more rationally.

Anyways, on a total different subject HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!! (9/10/08)

I have taken down my old "to do" lists from the days when I had uni. I really liked the look of the post-its stuck on my wall. Looked rather abstract, like a piece of art. They're such a simple invention but the uses are endless and so very attractive to the eye...I think I'm in love.

Oh yeah...my results came out yesterday...good news too, those simple post-it "to do" lists that I briefly raved about actually worked and got me 2D's and and HD! Great way to finish off my course. Being organised is awesome, which is why I have collated a new "to do" list, just so I feel that my life won't be too free flowing and it will also help me to achieve a few things =) On my wall I have listed some things to do, including...

1. Fix up my resume (job hunting time kids)


2. Distribute resume to schools in the fremantle-peel district


3. Write up lessons for Alice (my student)


4. Cut and colour hair (I'm going for a trim...don't feel like much of a change)


5. Clean my room


6. Re-decorate my room (hoping to get rid of a lot of things and make it more spacious)


7. Tannage of the legs


8. Create a workout playlist


9. Start exercising everyday (feeling sluggish, time to get active!)


10. Finish seasons 2 and 3 of "How I met Your Mother"
    

Yay! Even being organised to be organised makes me feel good. You can feel good too for the moral of this entry is to use post-its in everyway that you can to organise anything and everything. Convert yourself into a post-it lover, just as I have and together we shall soon impress everyone around us with our remarkable memory retrieval abilities, wonderful organisational skills and in the end, become great achievers of life.

Having time is good, so good. I cannot recall ever having so much freedom with no assignments no exams to study for or lectures to attend, so now what do I do? I don't really know! until that time comes when I lose my freedom again I think I will just enjoy myself...happy days.

I had another busy weekend where things kicked off unexpectedly on Friday afternoon. After my parents had left for Mandurah, I was talking with Jas on msn about Ama's present and she seemed to be having trouble deciding what to get her, since I didn't have much to do and because I was feeling a bit lonely I decided to help my dearest chicken. I baked cupcakes within an hour, then made it on the bus to mpnr just in time for the train to the city. City was packed and being school holidays and all, it was a bit annoying seeing so many teenagers everywhere, they're so awkward. Met Jas and gave her a bday hug! We walked around looking for Ama's present and not long after Jas received a phonecall from Ama, she had finished uni and was coming to meet us. Jas found a present, bought it then hid it. We were buying food when Ama arrived and it was true what she said, we had not been out shopping as a 3 in ages..felt like old times. We bought Ezyway bbt...honey milk tea ftw! Walked around looking at jewellery and Ah charm met up with us at the end. Jas drove us all back home and i quickly hopped into the shower!

At night bf picked me up and we headed to his friend Calvin's house for a chicken rice dinner. Mmmm...chicken rice! He lived in a secluded area that was pretty cozy, his house reminded me of Sara's house in Kondinin. I gave Calvin the cupcakes I had made and met Calvin's dog, Max a beloved fat cocker spaniel. During dinner I drank alot of soup, which tasted sweet, but I liked it. Max stayed under my chair while i was eating and begged for food a few times. Calvin told us entertaining stories of Max and then we sat down to watch episodes 5 and 6 of Gossip Girl because bf hadn't seen them yet. Bf and Calvin secretly ate my cupcakes, trying not to make Max jealous and we drank Kaluha(?) well some coffee liquer, which was nice up until the 4th sip, was too sweet! Bf took me home afterwards and I slept in my warm bed.

Woke up at 10:30 and started baking more cupcakes! I think I made 2 dozen altogether, it was so much fun but it was a bit rushed. I decorated half of the cupcakes as fast as I could and was getting ready to go out at the same time. While I wasn't looking my brothers ate some of the cupcakes, so I was down a few, damn them. Oh well, at least I saved 5 for my little student to decorate. Bf picked me up and we shopped for gift boxes and wrapping paper. We stopped to eat a chicken pie and spinach and ricotta roll from the bakery...so good! Then we headed to his house so that I could tutor my student. Together we decorated the cupcakes and wrote about what we did, she was so excited ahaha, think the lesson went well though. Hope that the cupcakes don't contribute to any fillings in her teeth..she seems to have quite a few! oh well, it was the experience that counted afterall. After tutoring we headed back to my place to package the rest of the cupcakes and also to wrap the rest of Ama and Jas's present. We were so rushed but I was pretty proud of my efforts...have a look:

The marshmallow and tiny teddies cupcakes are my favourite ahaha. Bf helped me a bit too, so thank you bf dearest! He took a photo of the presents and coco as well...

Eww, doesn't she seem like a smelly and scruffy dog? Bf seems to think she has a stylish gangster fringe. Hmm I should post a photo of bf back in the days when he had a similar type of hair style, garantee that you will laugh your socks off, stay tuned for that one!

Anyway..made it to Cora 30 minutes late, sorry guys! hope you understand the reasons why haha. We were so hungry and Cora seemed to have run out of a lot of food so we missed out on pancakes, sushi, sweet and sour pork =( but we settled on a lot of meat and seafood, which was yum nonetheless. After dinner we made our way to Utopia, where the real party began! Bf and I had a lot of fun just sitting back watching everyone, some interesting observations made by us, but then again those who were there probably already know about them. They were interesting. I drank a lot of Bailey's, which I thought was much nicer than what I drank the night before. When I went to the really scary toilets downstairs, I accidently splashed a lot of water onto my dress and spent a while trying to dry myself off, a nice girl who was in the toilets helped me to retrieve some tissues, hope it didn't look like I peed myself! The rest of the night was fun, there was the cutting of the pretty cake, more drinking and singing. We spent time outside in the cold then everyone dispersed and made their way to Maccas. Bf and me went home and I snuggled into bed by 3:30am. Was a good night...HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY AMA & JAS! *huggies*

The next day I woke up at 11 something and made my way to the kitchen, parents weren't back yet and no food! I arranged with bf to go out for lunch but where to? Then it came to me like a flash...dumpling king! Best decision made as we ordered fish head bee hoon soup, korean sweet potato, boiled dumplings, and black bean sauce with noodle...yum! best lunch! after we were fed, we went back to bf's house and watched speedracer, my beloved RAIN was in it, I fell asleep towards the end though, think it was too much colour and light for me to handle. After that, bf took me home and my parents weren't home yet =( my brother went and bought us KFC for dinner and I started to watch the 1st season of How I Met Your Mother...it's really good so far! My parents came home at around 8? and brought me 2 bottles of milk and yoghurt...random they are! Anyway, that concluded my weekend...oh! hope you like my new blog layout, be sure to leave me a comment on my tagboard!!

I'm so bad at this blogging thing, I can't keep up with the things that I've done and been through...maybe I should really shorten all my entries!! anyway, I'll be brief...I mean it this time!!

Today, my parents are going away to Mandurah for a church camp for the weekend. My mum has been busy cooking and packing, she has cooked so much to take away that I think there's no food left at home for me. The last time my parents went away was during my year 11 exams and they went to china and said I couldn't go...they bribed me and brought me back a sony discman haha as well as a whole lot of other souvenirs...oh well, at least this time I can stay out late and not be questioned in the morning. Hope you guys have fun, I know I will!

The dorkster and I went and watched Wall-E on tuesday night, I loveloveloved it! It was so cute, the storyline was ace and so very true, makes me want to become a greenie. Bf kept calling me Eeeve, after the movie though just because I called him Despereaux (tiny mouse with gigantic floppy ears...soon to be released movie!)...sigh such a dork, was that was the best you could come up with? hehe

Oh! went to the Perth Royal Show on Saturday..yay! When I told my mum I was going, she specifically asked me not to bring back any big toys..pffft...she even reminded me again before I left the house =( Didn't think too much of that...The show is always good, this time round, bf and I weren't so much interested in the showbags..more of the great food! Mmmm ribs! a bit dry but still yumyum for my tumtum. We also ate corn on a cob, puppydogs, sausages, curly fries, lamb rolls and lamb curry =D=D=D I get so excited about food, luckily, so does he...do you see us fatter and rounder in the future? I do. We took time to look through all the pavilions, even looked at the cows, which were actually quite pretty. Saw a goat/sheep escape, a woman herding fluffly chickens using a broom, lots and lots of pandas (we tried 6 times to win big ones, but only managed to get baby ones...my mum jinxed us I know it!), we also saw a jazz band play while we were eating our lamb dinner that was nice and of course saw the fireworks! Can't wait for next year!

On Friday night, went to the Queens for a few drinks with the uni girls to celebrate the end of uni! Had lots of giggles after a glass of wine and took photos for memory keeping. It was so good to see everyone...argh at least I didn't cry! Bf and I had to leave early to go meet the Lee's and co. for dindin at teacafe. Ah charm flew in to Perth as a surprise for our dear Ama, how sweet. Too bad we missed her reaction =( I hope there was lots of ahhhh-ing ehehe. After that we walked to the ASIA cocktail at metros or methoes as everyone seems to be calling it now, aren't people clever? It was really really cold outside so we were glad to get in! We were turned away at the cloak room because the line was too long and when we came back it was even longer...what a loser security guy. We all danced away, saw someone puke all over the dancefloor and moved away from it and had fun watching unsuspecting victims walk through it ahahaa. We were pushed and shoved all over the place, which I guess is pretty normal, but bf got a bit sick of it though so we went exploring. We found a nice spot upstairs and had fun watching the poledancers and skimming the crowd below. Left the cocktail at around 2:30-3 and had supper...mmm 3 egg congee!

I also officially finished uni on the 23rd had my last ever exam! Four years have just flown by, but I'm happy...bit scared. I spent the last semester with Jess, both of us are known as the slack ones in our little group, but since the others girls chose to do interships and projects, we were left to tackle uni alone. We did pretty well though, we motivated each other and I managed to get 4 HD's and a D! i purposefully left my assignment on the table for my mum to see hehehe.

Oh! I also went down to Kondinin with the uni girls to celebrate Sara's 22nd birthday. Jess and me left for the bush straight after uni and had a very scenic drive there. I didn't realised how many paddocks there were and it was just so...pretty. It only took 2 minutes to actually tour the whole town and while we were there, we went to the community bluelight disco ahaha, had fun doing the hokeypokey, macarena, chicken dance! reminds me of primary school discos...i miss them. Helped Sara's school a bit and found that her principal is really cool! We also went to the local pub on Sara's birthday and omgosh, the steaks were massive, bigger than my head. I managed to eat it all though, it was very filling. Had lots of champagne and played singstar, cranium and scattergories at night. The thing that was sad was that Jess and me had to study for exams =(=( we had study breaks where we played scrabble though and ate heaps! Kondinin was really nice had a lot of bugs, but the best part I loved about it was the stars at night..so amazing, if Kalgoorlie has stars like that, I don't think I would mind going =)
