Moving to Tumblr.

2010-06-30T03:34:00.001+10:00

This is why I love Tumblr (:

I've been thinking of switching to Tumblr for quite some time already actually. But it's only just an hour ago that I had this sudden impulse to do it like RIGHT NOW. Haha. I don't know why the sudden urge. But here are some of the reasons why I think it's better if I move to Tumblr:

1) Many people have done that. I mean.. moving from Blogger to Tumblr. And so far they never come back.

2) As you've probably noticed I've been posting Tumblr-like posts recently.. like you know.. quotes and pictures. So I think I might as well do it on Tumblr.

3) And as you can see, I've been blogging less and less nowadays. So maybe with Tumblr, with all those pretty pictures and quotes, I will be more motivated :D

4) Tumblr is not just for pictures and quotes anyway. So I will still post normal blog posts in there. Like updates and things I normally would post here. You see.. it's multifunction :p

5) Lastly, remember I told you that I need to post my pictures through Photobucket now? I figure that it's too troublesome. On Tumblr I definitely do not need to do that (:

I'm not saying that I will be leaving Blogger forever. I might still come back one day! I still have the other blog anyway and I still write things in there sometimes. So I won't delete the account nor this blog. It will remain here as it is. (And it stores so much memories!) (Also just in case this turns into a bad idea next morning when I wake up). But for now, goodbye Blogger. It's nice having you for this 2 years plus (:

Hehe.

Here is the link to my Tumblr site:

In the mean time I will try to figure out how to redirect you guys directly to my Tumblr site when you come here.

Cheers.

And it might not even be anyone’s fault, you know? Or maybe it had even been brewing for awhile and neither of you knew it. Anyway, all of a sudden, everything is.. ripped apart. I mean, like everything—it’s all blown open, and you’re just kind of left there to figure out what goes where. I guess sometimes the person you thought you’d be with for a long time.. I don’t know, sometimes you’re wrong."

But most of all, I want to know if you want to know the same things about me."

I told my best friend that I felt so unloved. He hung up on me, and I burst into tears, thinking he didn’t care about me. 30 minutes later, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find him standing there, skateboard in hand. He lives a city away. He pulled me into his arms, and told me he loved me. GMH.

Socially Awkward Situation #1:
You’re in class and you want to cough. Some other guy just coughed, now you have to wait.

Socially Awkward Situation #2:
Someone calls in your direction. You raise your hand to wave. It turns out they weren’t calling you. You casually fake a head-scratch. It’s too late; everyone saw.

Socially Awkward Situation #3:
You sit down on a chair and it makes a fart-like noise. You attempt to make the noise several more times so that everyone knows you didn’t really fart.

Socially Awkward Situation #4:
You hold the door open for one person. Now you have to hold it for everyone behind them; if you let go, they’ll think you’re selfish and un-mannered.

Socially Awkward Situation #5:
Talk to your date while eating. Accidentally spit a tiny bit of food onto them.

Socially Awkward Situation #6:
“Excuse me, do you stock ________?”
But they don’t work there.

Socially Awkward Situation #7:
He goes in for a high-five. You go in for props.

Socially Awkward Situation #8:
Walk into the washroom and the stalls are full; pretend you only came here to wash your hands then leave.

Socially Awkward Situation #9:
You check your phone because you have nothing to say to the conversation.

Socially Awkward Situation #10:
Someone comes online; you say “hey”, they go offline.

Socially Awkward Situation #11:
The person in front is walking slightly slower than you are. You walk at an uncomfortable speed to get past them.

Socially Awkward Situation #12:
Someone you vaguely know is walking in front of you. You maintain distance.

Socially Awkward Situation #13:
You say “hi” to someone. It comes out as a whisper.

Socially Awkward Situation #14:
You fart and sneeze at the same time.

Hello!

I have just one more paper left! But it's on Friday. So I declared yesterday a Slack Day. Haha. Cos I think I deserve some kind of a break from studying after mugging for these past 2 weeks. And, I still have today and tomorrow to revise for M&C anyway..

I took a very long nap yesterday and then I watched this British movie called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging at night.

I forgot how I got to know this movie. Cos it's only released in UK. Or was it someone recommended this movie to me? Dunno lah. But anyway, this movie is soooooo 15-year-olds (: Like about high school teenagers that are not so popular, desperate to find boyfriends and then the guys they like are the boyfriends of the mean and popular girls at school. Things like that. And of course in the end the boy got together with the not so popular girl. Haha. So typical right?? But it's quite funny and THE GUY IS SOOO CUTE. OMG. HIS NAME IS AARON JOHNSON.

OMG!! HE'S SOOOO CUTEEEEEEEE AHHHHH.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

BUT NOW. IN 2010. LOOK AT HIM. ENGAGED WITH A WOMAN WHO IS 23 YEARS HIS SENIOR. LIKE WTF LAH BOY HE IS PROBABLY AS OLD AS YOUR MOTHER!

AND

HE IS JUST NOT CUTE ANYMORE.

YOU SUCK. PERIOD.

And you are only 20 :(

OKAY APART FROM AARON JOHNSON, THE SET OF THE MOVIE! OMG SO PRETTYYYYYYYY. It's a place somewhere in the south-eastern part of UK called Eastbourne.

Watch the trailer!

Oh man, I want. To. Go. There.

2010-06-14T18:50:00.009+10:00

Okay you can ignore the post below this one. It's too wordy and boring. It's just my ranting. Nothing important or interesting..... OMG IT RHYMES HAHAHAH.

OK. SOOOOOOOOOOO....

The World Cup fever is finally here again! And with my brother here, the virus is more contagious than ever.

I kinda lost contact with the football world cos the local channels in Singapore do not air any football matches, except national football, which doesn't count. I didn't subscribe to SingTel or Starhub because 1) I didn't have a proper teevee in my room then. (I used to use my computer screen as my TV, hehe) and 2) I do not watch teevee alot anyway. In fact, I think you can count how many times I turned my teevee on last year. I watch certain TV shows, yes, like Gossip Girl, but not from TV. To add to that, I didn't subscribe to any newspaper too. So no football news, unless my brother/ Malcolm or somebody else told me. Or unless, of course, I read online, something I hardly did.

So I totally forgot how fun it is to watch a football match. And when I did watch again finally, like the opening match last Friday, I was likeeeee AAAAHHH FOOTBALL IS SO FUN TO WATCH!!! (But not so fun to play (: )

Anyway, which country are you rooting for? I know most of my blog readers are Singaporeans and from what I observed they are not as excited about the World Cup as the Indonesians, for example, but I'm just asking. Haha.

I was team England and Spain in 2006. I think I will still be supporting them this year. Haha. But maybe... I will add Italy to the list (: *wink wink*

To end this post, I'm gonna show you a picture:

One of the best Jap food I've had here.
The other two are the curry chicken rice from that place at QV,
and Menya(: Oh. And of course, MOMO SUSHI!

And yeah I know the picture has no link whatsoever to the post. Hahahaha.

2010-06-14T18:12:00.000+10:00

I think now I know why I can't post pictures directly from my laptop to my blog. My Picasa web album thingy (the place where all the pictures on your blog are normally saved) is full. I've used up the 1500MB free storage that they gave, or izzit even less, I can't remember. I can't delete the photos, of course. Cos that would mean all the old photos from my blog will be removed too. So I've been uploading the photos through Photobucket. And then I have to copy the url and blah blah blah. So troublesome! Cos to get more storage you gotta pay like 5 bucks! Bleah. Anyway. This is not the main point of this post.

EXAM IS COMINGGGGGGGG. SO CLOSE I CAN SMELL IT ALREADY.

My first paper is on this Saturday. English for Academic Purposes. Essay writing. 3 hours. (And yes, it's on Saturday, you didnt read wrongly). No idea why though. Hmm. The rest of the papers are on the following week. Let's see.. I have Maths on Monday, Accounting on Tuesday, and then Media & Communication on Friday.

I have 3 days to prepare for my M&C paper next week, so right now I'm just concentrating on my Maths and Accounting. Haven't been doing a lot of Maths these past few weeks, cos it had to sort of make way for the 3 essays. But I've finished doing all the exercises from the lecture notes over the weekend, so I can now say that my Maths is pretty much polished. Haha. Not as rusty as on Thursday, at least. Haha. Last Thursday was bad. It's like I suddenly realised I only had less than 2 weeks to prepare for the exams and I freaked out cos when I tried doing some of the questions I realised I didnt know so many things! Lol. But now, after going through the whole 11 chapters, I understand much much better(:

As for Accounting, we've done revision during the last lecture and we're gonna do more revision during tutorial and lecture this week. So I just need to finish the revision pack and the multiple choice questions Mary gave us, which I'm planning to do tonight. (And then if I still have some time, Imma finish up exercise sheets 10, 11, 12, 13 that I 'owe'. Ok it's in ' ' cos actually we do not have to hand these exercises to anyone, but I promised myself that I will do them, so it's like I owe it to myself. Haha).

HAIYO. Life would be so much easier if I can just devote this entire week to Accounting and Maths. But no. I have another essay due next Monday (the day of the Maths paper), which is my fourth essay this term. Literature. 1500 words. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN FREAKING DECIDED WHICH QUESTION TO DO. AND IT'S DUE NEXT WEEK. SCREW YOU LITERATURE!

Sigh. Will start on Lit tomorrow. Tonight it will be just me and numbers.

Queen's Birthday

2010-06-14T17:33:00.004+10:00

My little cousin Terence. All excited this morning.
Couldn't wait for his 'girlfriend's' birthday party. Haha.
And I did not ask him to pose like this okay?

This is a real conversation between my brother and him yesterday:
"So.. tomorrow is a holiday."
"Yeap," he said.
"Queen's Birthday right?"
"Nope. Bella's birthday!"

Bella is the name of the 'girlfriend'. Haha. How cute.

Anyhow, I made a card for her. This is the first card I made in 2010. And first card I made in Melbourne. Haha.

It's very standard-looking. Many of my cards look similar to this. Haha.
No inspirations.

2010-06-06T02:48:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone.

I'm apologetic for the lack of updates. Life has been pretty mundane lately anyway. Just me and the school assignments. Nothing much other than that.

I wanna blog more often. I don't know where my passion for blogging have gone to :(

2010-05-24T21:55:00.001+10:00

Oh and I super wanna go to Bali.

And I need to paint my nails.

And I miss Singapore.

I do.

2010-05-21T21:41:00.003+10:00

Hmm the weather is getting colder and colder everyday.. I'm not a fan of winter but I think I'm getting used to this kind of weather. In fact, actually, now I feel the cold is kinda okay, it's not that bad. At least for now. I dunno about winter.

P.S. If some of you are wondering where the hell all my old posts have gone to, I've actually moved them to another blog of mine, which is locked so you can't actually view it hehe. And no I have not deleted them. It's actually kinda fun looking through the old posts, reminiscing, looking at how we were back then and how much we've changed. And..the style of my writing too. HAHAH. Sometimes I'll be like: 'OMG I wrote that?'

2010-05-21T18:12:00.007+10:00

Hello peeps!

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates! I've abandoned this blog for far too long haha. But I am back!

Been super busy lately with school and everything. Remember I told you about the 3 essays? One of them was due today (M&C one), so I have like less 'beban' now. 2 more to go! And I've been staying up like way too late for this whole week. Like on Monday we went to Ikea to shop for some stuff (Had the hotdog after so long! And I bought baking stuff :D :D including the baking tray that can be dismantled, whatever you call it, hehe so now I can make cheesecake :D) and I had to finish off my EAP so ended up sleeping at 12. Then Tuesday too (was doing Accounting. I din't go for the lecture last Friday cos I wasnt feeling well so I had to spend 3 hours reading the textbook trying to understand and then attempted the tutorial homework. Slept at 1). Then on Wednesday I slept at about 2 to finish off my HOI essay plan because I had essay consultation first thing in the morning the following day. Then last night, I was doing last minute touch-ups for my M&C essay and tried to cut down the words etc. Slept at 2 also. So this morning, it was like woke up in the morning feeling like a zombieeeeeee!

And did I tell you? My mom and bro are here from last Saturday! Hehehe puas saya makan pempek. Tapi sayang gk bisa bawain bakso! Dan Mie Asang! And yeah it's also because they are here that's why I've been sleeping late. We've been going out at night (like the trip to Ikea). And even if we didn't go out I can only do my work after they go to sleep because they'd keep talking =.= and I couldnt concentrate.

Anyway, my brother is actually here to study. He started school yesterday hee hee. And you know what, the high school he's attending now is like my eyecandy's alma mater. HAHAHAHHA. I TOTALLY SAW HIS FACE ON THE YEARBOOK. CLASS OF 2009. HA HA HAHHA.

Okay I don't have much things to say also. 'Cos these few weeks (like after I last blogged), I didn't go out much haha and there are like nothing interesting to tell y'all. Too busy with essays and homework HAHAHA. I'VE BEEN LIKE A SUPER GOOD GIRL LAH LIKE SO DILIGENT THESE PAST FEW WEEKS! I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF :D I didn't even watch Gossip Girl okay. I missed like 3 episodes already. And I dint bloghop or Tumblrhop and I only go to Facebook from my phone or iPod. Super no life lah these 3 weeks.

OH OH OH YEAH my friend is getting married tomorrow! Haha. Gonna attend their ROM. Becky & Brian. Omg it's like the first time I'm attending a wedding of someone who's my age.. like my generation, you know. Haha.

Okay that's all for now. Gonna go out for dinner and then watch Gossip Girl tonight hehehe.

Ciao!

Hello autumn.

Today, I was driving my cousin to her ballet school and I looked at the sky.. and the maple trees that line the streets, the leaves now mostly red or orangey yellow. Then yesterday, walking through Bourke St, the tram lanes and the wire thingy, that church at the distance and the buildings. The sight.. It's.. majestic.

I remember I smiled and said myself : "Damn, I think I'm loving this place!"

2010-05-02T23:42:00.000+10:00

Oh yeah and there is a quote from Gossip Girl I forgot to share.. uhm it's from episode 17 ( of the latest season) if I'm not mistaken.

It's Chuck's words to Blair by the way.

You and I are magnetic. You can feel it. Our pull is as undeniable as ever.

I can tell you my heart melted right there. (Just imagine man, Chuck's low whispery voice, him looking right through Blair's eyes, whose heart won't melt).

I like the quote. But I don't like why he said it. That was unforgivable :\ So sad no more Chuck and Blair though:\

And talking about Gossip Girl, I missed last week episode :( But I have more important things to take care of now, so Gossip Girl gotta wait for the time being.

2010-05-02T23:33:00.000+10:00

Attempting photography. HAHA. Okay these are not taken with a DSLR camera, don't be fooled. They are taken with my Canon Ixus 110IS. Then I simply edited the contrast and colour here and there(:

Tell me if you like them (:

2010-05-02T23:27:00.001+10:00

I went to a church retreat last weekend(: Spot me if you can.

The place was called Golden Valley Lodge, somewhere in the countryside I guess. In the Mornington peninsula. It felt like going for camps, sleeping bag and bunks and all. But the people are different. And there was not much outdoor activities and games, instead we sat down for sharing sessions.

I miss Guides. And camps :(

But I met a lot of new friends there(: And learned new things. About life especially. Haha.

***

I know I complained alot about the weather in Melbourne but I think I'm beginning to love it. I dunno. It might be because.. well I have to get used to it or.. actually it makes dressing up more fun than it already is! Like you know, in Indonesia and Singapore it's fairly hot and so we dress up in a layer, maybe shorts and tee. But here! Tanktops, jackets, cardigans, coats, scarfs, shawls, jeans, leggings you basically can play mix and match everyday! Although sometimes you get lazy and wish you are still in high school and you can wear uniform everyday and so you don't have to fuss about what to wear the next day. But I'm loving it still.

***

Other than that.. OH YEAH MAN I HAVE LIKE 3 FREAKING ESSAYS DUE THIS TERM. Accounting, Media and Communication and History Of Ideas. 700-1000, 750 and 1200 words respectively. I'm gonna die I tell you. For HOI I have lotsa reading to do for the effing essay. I havent even touched the textbook and I owe all the readings from the beginning of term one all the way up to this very second!! I'm supposed to read it over the holidays. This and then there's also M&C readings to catch up, but M&C not so bad. I have read about half of what we are supposed to read until this week. Oh well, my holidays plan was basically screwed la. I dint do everything that I planned to do. Eeeyurh. So unproductive la :( I was even supposed to work but in the end didn't. And the Maths exercises that I owe. Was supposed to do them over the holidays too. Sigh.

***

Yeah and I miss Singapore too. Also the freedom I used to have there :\ Today an old friend of mine (an ex-classmate from Indonesia) commented on Twitter. She said something like :"You miss Singapore more than you miss Lampung huh" (Lampung is the name of my hometown). And I can tell you I certainly do. I dunno. Weird eh.

What's even weirder is that.. when I talk to my Indo friends (by this I mean my ex-schoolmates in Indo), I don't get the same nostalgic feeling I get when I talk to my Singaporean friends. Considering I spent like longer time schooling in Indonesia than in Singapore. It could be because 1) I was younger when I was in Indonesia, so not much memories or something like that d'you get what I mean? or 2) The memories from then wasn't exactly my favorite ones. I shall leave it to you to answer.

***

And last but not least I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP EATING LATELY OH EM GEE LAH. At first I thought it was my monthly cravings but apparently it continues even after my period ended. HOW AH. Or maybe it's because the weather is cold and you get hungry easily. I SERIOUSLY DUNNO. AND I DON'T HAVE A FREAKING WEIGHING MACHINE AND SO I DUNNO IF I'VE GAINED ANY WEIGHT. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. WHY CAN'T I STOP EATING?! Okay. Maybe it's the ugly weather. For now I shall blame the weather. I don't care.

2010-04-17T14:07:00.001+10:00

I think now I know why a lot of Singaporeans have the perceptions that Aussie education is slack and bad and has low standards etc etc. It's because of those students with bad A level results (which can't make it to uni in Singapore) who then come to Australia.

So they basically just think that: "Oh, so cannot make it in Singapore then can 'flee' to Australia. They have such low standards!"

But trust me they can't make it to uni in Australia too. At least not the top unis. And well they can if they want, but not directly too.

When those students come here they have to study for another year before going to uni. It's like for us, after O level, we take the foundation studies for a year and then we go to uni. For them, after A level, they go to the same foundation studies as us and learn the same thing and then go to uni.

If we put it like in Singapore, aft O level we go to JC. And then if those post-A level students learn the same thing as us (post-O lvl students), that's the same like repeating JC what.

So you see, they don't directly go to uni. They still have to so-called repeat another year before going to uni. And therefore, it's not that Aussie education has lower standards. But here in Aussie those people are given another chance, like another pathway for those students. Imagine how if they stay in Singapore. What are they gonna do if their A lvl result can't make it to uni? Retake A lvl? Go to Poly?

2010-04-10T17:56:00.000+10:00

I loooove holidays. Hee hee. But then who doesnt (:

Been going out and slacking around at home too mucho. So next week I gotta start doing the Maths exercises that I owe and catch up on Functions and also the HOI and MnC readings (I havent read a single sentence from the book and reading pack respectively). If possible read up to term two readings. Uh and the EAP essay outline too.

Sigh. I wanted to work part-time and earn kaching but I dunno where to find hahah. I think must find before the holidays start lah, cos by the time the holiday is here all of the part-time vacancies would have been taken. Okay, next term. There is a high possibility that I'm not going back in June anyway.

Meanwhile I shall just continue slacking until Sunday. Heheheheee.

P.S. I want sugar prata and bacon aglio.

And pearly soya.

2010-04-10T17:16:00.000+10:00

Our world is indeed small. Or izzit just Singapore in particular? Sorry, no offense. But it's like.. for almost every Singaporean that I meet here, that person and I will have at least one mutual friend (this mutual friend is not a friend that I meet here but a friend/acquaintance back in Singapore). And sometimes it's not directly linked like that but there will be a connection somehow.

So freaky.

2010-04-10T16:45:00.000+10:00

I much much prefer her looking like this. Leave that heavy eyeliner make-up to Avril Lavigne please.

2010-04-10T15:18:00.025+10:00

Nostalgia. Such a powerful thing.

What I learned is.. you can never relive moments in the past. They stay as flashbacks and memories. So cherish every moment of your life. For these moments you're living now will probably be the moments you're gonna miss a few years down the road.

Cliche as it is, but true.

Okay. This is my Maths tutor. HAHAHA. Don't judge a book by its cover okay. He was from RI! Tho downgrade to AJC after that (in his time there's no IP yet). He was from AJ squash, which, if I'm not wrong, is Brina's current CCA. Lol. Uhm he's 21. Although he looks younger. HAHAH. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE SPENT MY ENTIRE SATURDAY DOING MATHS.

When we were walking Pak (OKAY YES I KNOW HIS NAME IS DAMN FUNNY. His English name is Gabriel but dunno why he prefers to be called Pak Tao ). Okay anyway, he was saying to me, "You know I miss being your age". Then I said something like"slightly before this was better". And he was like "YEAH OMG. Sixteen. Sec 4! Although I spent 7 years in all-boys school but I think I was.. you know.. I was having my peak then."

And I couldn't agree more. I think I was having the time of my life at sixteen.

1) I found out something very shocking this week. It's about S. What the hell man, I only know this after seventeen years of my life????? Okay I shant talk about this here.

2) My legs are so dry and scaly it disgusts me. I need to buy a good body scrub. I need to start taking care of my skin already!

3) Sling and I were planning to have lunch at Evan Burge there on Friday, so I can see him. HAHAHA. But then she called me while I was on my way from Swanston to EB and told me that he just left Evan Burge. She just had tutorial at Foundation Studies Centre (FSC) and he was walking towards there. Damn sad lah. I didnt even catch a glimpse of him! (I dressed up more nicely that day hahaha and some people actually noticed=.= hahahahahahaha). Next week is exam week, and our exam venue is at Arrow. And then we'll have about 3 weeks break. WHICH MEANS I WON'T SEE HIM UNTIL ANOTHER 21 DAYS. WAILS! Eileen was like: "But don't worry! I can assure you he's not with a girl!" and then dunno who continued: "Yeah! He was with an old man (another IT guy)." I think it's TIff. Damn funny.

4) And they keep laughing at his name! Zzzzzz. And I dunno why but that day so many of us were there. The usual bunch, but normally we kinda split up, not this many people. And I think now they all know about this. Zzzzz. And we were practically talking about guys the entire lunch. LOL. (e.g. that super hot guy with the ugly and annoying sister (who's in my Lit tuts)). I THINK WE ALL SHOULD GET A LIFE. HAHAHAHA.

5) Another post coming right up. Photos only.

2010-03-25T23:39:00.000+11:00

I found out his name!! How come I only thought of searching from the Trinity portal like today ?? Stupid lah. Hahaha. I just needed to go to the search bar, choose category: IT staff then look at the pictures one by one can alreadyyy!! HOW COME I DINT THOT OF THIS?!

Okay I think he has some Italian ancestry, judging from his surname. And I found him on Facebook toooo! I'll add him once I have enough courage to say hi hahhahaha. Must say hi first mah! If not he will just think I'm some random stranger. Sling dared me to drop my jacket in front of him and see whether he will pick it up for me hahhahaha.

Okay I'm such a stalker okay. I found out quite alot of info about him already *evil laughs*. He should be 19 this year. He designs and builds applications for Mac and iPhone/ iPod Touch, since 2006, when he was just fifteen. Okay I found out all these from his own website. And I think I might try to download some of his applications over the weekends HAHAHA. He just finished high school and I think he doesn't go to Uni. Well he works at Trinity now.

Are you shocked? I was very shocked when I first entered that webbie of his. And more shock when I read his profile. I expected him to be 20 something mwahahhaha.

Oh man and he caught me staring at him again today. But this time I held my gaze (he looked damn hot today). And he stared back at me. I SHOULD HAVE SMILED. But then I was having tutorials. Hahhahaha.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MATHS LECTURE GETS TOO BORING.

2010-03-24T01:25:00.004+11:00

Pam's, Sling's and my drawings (or doodles or whatever), respectively. This all happened in Maths lecture today. And everything is on my handbook=.= HAHAH. Sling LOVES pigs. And my heart is crooked on the left side. HAHA

THEN. THIS GUY WAS PEELING PEACH SKIN FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND DURING MATHS LECTURE. WITH A KNIFE. FREAKY OR NOT???

Andddddd.... more photos coming your way!

Sling and her.. um the guy she's dating now, Rafael. HAHA. He is the guy who took our student ID photo! And I look damn disgusting there lah. His fault. Sling said she hates his hair. Ok she hates curly hair. She said it's 'turning her off'. LOL. But oh well.... (I better pray none of them read my blog hahhaha). THEY ARE SO RED.

Pammy, Alvina, Claudia, Becky, moi and Sling.

Rafael took this picture. Lol.

AND YOU KNOW ALVINA AND BECKY ARE WATCHING LADY GAGA'S CONCERT TONIGHTTTT!!! SO MAD JEALOUS!!!

The tickets are sold out way months ago. You can buy the tix from places like eBay but the prices are crazy. Perhaps 500 bucks and above. Zuly almost bought it but then decided to get herself a new bag instead. Lol.

And I have some good news and bad news to share!!!

1) My eyecandy joined us for lunch today!!! Okay actually not first time hahaha.

2) And I saw my other eyecandy twice today!! First during lunch at Union House, secondly before Drama at Evan Burge.

3) BUT I think he caught me staring at him like both at Union House and at Evan Burge! So embarassing can! I think before today he caught me looking his way alot of times already>< Sling said I shouldnt look away because it would make it more obvious that I was staring at him. BUT IT'S REFLEX ACTION!

But anyway, both of them not cute/hot to the max or what. There are like tons of cuter/hotter guys in the uni there. But it's like you only caught a glimpse of them once.. like during lunch or when you walk past them or sth, but you will never see them ever again. If you get what I mean. HAHA.

Okay it's late and I have morning lecture tomorrow. So byebye!

2010-03-22T12:35:00.007+11:00

The weekend is over once again, so it's time to head back to school. I'm still lazing around at home now coz my first class doesnt start until 1.45pm. Teehee.

Today marks the fifth week that I'm here. Everything has been going pretty good, maybe except for some minor boos here and there, e.g. when my aunt is in a foul mood. But other than that I'm starting to settle down and get used to my new routines.

It's starting to get colder here. Today it's supposedly around 17 degrees.. I think. Like usually the weather would be kinda cold but if you go under the sun you'll feel warm but these few days it's like.. even if you go under the sun it will still be kinda cold. And it's funny and irritating that every week the season kinda changes. E.g the first week I am here it was bloody cold like autumn, and then the last few weeks it's like spring and summer. And now back to autumn. Something like that. Zzzz.

***

I went shopping like a few nights ago at Chadstone. There was this VIP sales or something like that. Normally the malls here close at 5pm but that day it closed at midnight! And every item in whichever shop is discounted at least 15%. So I bought myself a pair of jeans, leggings, a new skirt, 4 new tops, 2 tank tops and the Bardot military cardigan!!!!! or whatever you call it. I'll take a photo of me wearing it and then post the picture here, some other time(: It cost 60 bucks originally! And then discounted by 25%! Not bad right??

Then then then.. I went to the Southbank, Yarra River there, last weekend. So here are some shots I took. OH OH and we also went to ride on this beautiful horse carriage around town!!! The picture of the carriage is also below :D

It feels like riding on Cinderella's carriage. HAHA. (:

***

And other than that..

1) I lost the other pair of my pearl earrings :( Must be that night I went shopping. Accidentally pulled it off when I was trying on the clothes or something :( :(

2) Monday is officially my favourite day now. Apart from the fact that I have only one lecture which starts at 1.45, it is the only lecture that I have with my eyecandy! HAHAHA. Last week he sat beside me! LOLOLOLOL. And then the venue is at Evan Burge Buzzard lecture theatre, so chances are I'll get to see that cute IT guy too! (: I love Mondays(:

3) Thursday is my most-hated day. First, the classes suck big time. Secondly, I don't get to see my eyecandy at all on Thursday! Normally we won't have classes or tuts together but he will like have classes in the same venue or we'll meet during lunch or something. But not on Thursday. I don't get to see my other eyecandy too (the IT guy) cos I don't have class at Evan Burge that day. So yeah.. I hate Thursday.

4) My eyecandy is Singaporean. Lol. He's not cute/handsome/hot or whatever. It's his smile!! OMG! I dunno how to explain lah. Haha. The IT guy is an angmoh. Blonde. Eye dunno what colour, never seen him that close yet. Very straight nose. Rosy cheek. HAHAHA. But I dunno his name.. (the IT guy) :(

5) School is beginning to get busier. Also because this term is very short (3 weeks) so assignments deadlines are super near. (Maths is the subject that gives the most homework! Zzzz). But in a much happier note, this week is the last week of term one. And after that it's the almost-three-week break (it's supposed to be two weeks but next week is exam week and I have only two papers, which is on Monday and Tuesday. So I have the rest of the week as holidays :D).

6) I might try to work part-time during the break! The salary here is not bad. You get at least 13 bucks an hour, at the very least. Part of the reason I never tried working in Singapore is because they pay us damn little. I'd rather go back Indon during the hols.

7) That's it! I gotta get going. My bus is at 12.50. Catch ya later! (:

XOXO.

2010-03-22T01:50:00.000+11:00

Goodluck to those having UN tomorrow! All the best!

I'll blog tomorrow morning!

Tata!

2010-03-20T02:04:00.000+11:00

Now now now, should I read finish my novel or watch the latest episode of Gossip Girl or go bloghopping/tumblrhopping or just sleep?

Wanna watch GG but I think it's rather late already. I tried to finish my Media and Comm assignment since after dinner but I suck ttm at Photoshop :( so I sorta just typed out the article first. Even that I dint really complete. Still need to add in sentences here and there and add in more information and change a few words here and there.. okay in conclusion it's not even close to completion lahhh. But I really really have to finish it over the weekend. Sigh. At times like this I wish I don't own a Mac. Then I can use Paint. MWAHAHHA. I love Paint okay it's so easy and simple to use!

Anyway.. I shall spend this weekend at home to complete my assignments. See? I'm such a guai girl. HAHA. Since for the last couple of weekends I totally dint do any homework (Okay school just started in two weeks that's why hahahaha). But it's actually because I'm feeling rather guilty because these few days I........

Okay I'll continue tomorrow. Haha. I promise I will post one or two proper posts over the weekends. Now I think I should go and sleep cos it's already 2am (all because of Facebook). Shall go online again tomorrow night(: So see ya then!

“ To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. Arundhati Roy

When kids walk out of their schoolgates for the last time, no longer a kid, the world before them, what will happen to those wide-eyed innocence and easy laughter? Must they lose them, and lose them so quickly?

2010-03-13T23:02:00.002+11:00

My little cousin Terence turned five last Tuesday.

And I realised there are damn alot of people who are born in March =.= It's like almost everyday there would be someone I know celebrating their birthday.

2010-03-12T23:13:00.001+11:00

You know.. After spending like about three weeks in Trinity and getting to know people here and there, in this class/ tutorials etc etc., I found out that I can 'click' more with the Singaporeans and Malaysians bunch than the Indonesians bunch. This sounds weird considering that myself is Indonesian=.=

But it's true. They are more easy-going and also friendlier. Indons are more.. I dunno.. Sungkan dan jaga image? Etc etc. And besides, I feel more comfortable with them. Like I can be myself. I kinda hold back in front of the Indonesians, like the way I do in front of stangers or people I've just got to know, which is again very funny. Shouldn't it be the other way round??

It doesn't only apply here you know. I still do hold back a part of myself in front of my Indo friends in Indo. They don't know me like totally. In fact in front of them I'm rather quiet. A statement which my Singaporeans friends would probably disagree completely with. Rika? Quiet? Bullshit. You know how noisy I can be.

The thing is.. I can never be myself in front of them. It's like everytime I have this feeling I have to hide some parts of myself be it this one this time or that one the next time. There is like ALWAYS a part of me I have to hide. Sometimes I even feel like I have to pretend into someone I am not.

I dunno lah. I dunno if you get me. I'm just penning down my thoughts. Just ignore this post hahahah. For now I gotta sleep. Catching a cold:(

2010-03-12T22:49:00.002+11:00

Yesterday in History Of Ideas tutorial, we spent the whole 90 minutes getting to know each other. There was this girl from China who said that she loves the weather here in Melbourne. And after that you could see everyone giving their what-the-fcuk look. Like.. seriously girl???

You see the other day I forgot to check the weather forecast so I turned up for my lecture first thing in the morning in a woolen hoodie or whatever you call it and a tank top underneath plus my leggings. It was like 13 degrees or something so I was basically freezing. It was raining too on that day so there was like no sun. So the next day I wore thin jacket on top a t-shirt and then bring another coat-like jacket with me. In the morning it saved me from the cold yeah but that day was quite sunny and so it was kinda hot in the afternoon.. Like maybe 25 degrees. Like what the heck I looked so stupid carrying two jackets in such a sunny and rather hot day=.=

Yeah so.. The whole point of this post is that the weather in Melbourne is so freakingly and disgustingly extreme. It can be all cold and freezing in the morning and then suddenly turn hot in the afternoon. Mad irritating.

2010-03-12T22:33:00.002+11:00

"Do you want to sit?"

I remember thinking: wow now that's a gentleman! He's also not as childish as some of the other Singaporean guys. I later found out why: he is 21 this year. He went to JC (maybe for a year, not very sure) and went for National Service before coming here. So old.

I am like among the youngest here. Together with the rest of us who are born in 1993. Majority are 18.

2010-03-08T20:47:00.012+11:00

1. I recently met up with an old friend whom I haven't met in ages. Since 2005, to be exact. At the end of Year 7, I moved to Singapore and she Jakarta. 5 years ago who would have thought that we would meet again in Melbourne after high school? But now we did. Life is indeed full of surprises.

Devi and moi :D

2. And we watched Dear John!!! Starring Channing Tatum!! Omg you don't know how excited I was before the movie. He is my first-ever boy obsession lol. Way before Zac Efron and Ed Westwick came along. Eversince Step Up and She's The Man hahaha. I dint watch him in G.I. Joe though. Cos it's some kind of action movie right?? (And I dunno why he ended up starring with my favourite actresses. Amanda Bynes and Amanda Seyfried. And I have no idea why both of my favorite actress have the name Amanda hahahhaa).

AND DO YOU KNOW HOW HOT CHANNING TATUM LOOKED IN THOSE ARMY UNIFORMS??? It's like I fell in love with him all over again. HAHA. And you know how I always have a thing for guys in
uniform.

I love seeing a couple so in love with each other like that. Haha. But why it has to end that way :( (I'd rather let that Tim/Tom guy died so that they can get married and live happily ever after HAHAHAH. What? I love happy-ending movies cannot meh?)And whyyyyy all Nicholas Sparks' movies must be sad de? (The Notebook, A Walk To Remember). But still..I think it worthed all my 15 bucks. LOL.

3. Then my aunt took us to the countryside on Saturday and we visited the wineyard. I loveeee the ride along the countryside. The pretty houses and the endless fields. But sadly it rained so the sky was gloomy :( Otherwise it would be so prettyyyy. Now let us let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

4. On Sunday night we had dinner at an Italian restaurant called Sofia. Look at the portion man.

After eating those mountain of pasta (we shared among the 7 of us), I realised how much I miss Pastamania's bacon aglio:( I have yet to find something similar here:(

Thomas Lee

Hey Frederika, are you studying in Melb now?

March 3 at 7:12pm ·

Frederika Anastasia Lojaya

hello mr lee! yeah I am(:

March 3 at 7:24pm ·

Thomas Lee

Wow cool! You're in Trinity? Good college. So you aiming to go UniMelb I suppose? I did my degree there from '96-'98. Must work hard to get into UniMelb ok?

March 4 at 4:38pm ·

Frederika Anastasia Lojaya

Woah I dint know that! I think you told us you studied in Aussie before but you never mentioned Mel U! Hahah yeah I'm in Trinity(: and will study real hard. MUST get into Mel U haha. MUST:D

Not many people in Sing know abt Trinity and Mel U though. Haha.

March 4 at 5:43pm ·

Thomas Lee

Not true. Melb U is a well-known school. Most employers will know that. As for Trinity, it's the best college there. And yea, all the best in your studies. Make the most out of it.

Oh man, now I miss the vietnamese beef noodle along Elizabeth St. and those greek desert shops near St. Kilda's beach.... hahha!

Fri at 7:08pm ·

Yeah so I found out Mr Thomas Lee is a Melb Uni alumni. I think Mr Jack Tan was from there too lol (I suspect he's now doing his PhD in Melb Uni too, judging from his blog). That's 2 BP teachers. Eh errr Nana said there's a new teacher who graduated from there also. I think she's called Jessie something. Then that's 3. Lol.

6. I'm officially missing Singapore. I miss the faces.. the people.. the company and the places.. I miss the energy and the busyness and the freedom. Here in Melbourne it's so bloody quiet:( I don't like. And I'm like terkekang(You people won't know this, cos at that time I dint have a blog yet lol). And I missed my occassional curry puffs and bubble teas. You know the other time I tried the bubble tea from the shop at Union House (in Mel U) but it tasted too milky. Not nice. Even the colour is almost white:( I should have taken a picture to let you see. Maybe next time lol.

And I know most of my blog readers are my friends from Singapore so hey there, you are missed(:

Melbourne as it is.

2010-03-08T19:06:00.001+11:00

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these photos. All the photos are taken from this blog here, unless stated otherwise. The quotes below are also extracted from the same blog.

Just imagine, the wintry air and the laneway cafes, the smell of burnt coffee, the old streets with new shopwindows, the rumbling of the trams, whispers in the art gallery, the echoes in St Patrick's cathedral, footfalls on cobble stones, Old Arts of Melbourne University, rustling the fallen maple leaves. Just imagine - you latch onto the passing airport coach, and then the train, and then the tram, and then the right bringing wind, and spread out before you, is all of Melbourne...

CBD area.

Southbank and the Yarra River. Can you spot the PricewaterhouseCoopers building? Remember my post a while back in November? (:

Queen Victoria Market. There is something so elegant about this lady. It might be the red hat or the shawl. I dunno. I think she only needs a pair of Jackie O sunglasses to perfect it off. Lol. But then it's winter.

And of course, the Melbourne University. That's the Old Arts building, the one with the clock thingy. I've just walked past this place today on my way to the bookshop. Haha. Normally when the weather is nice there would be many people sitting on the grass, but as you can see this photo is taken during winter. So yeah. The path you see will lead you to the Grattan Street. If you would just scroll down abit and look at the map of the university, this place is numbered 195, located right below red dot number 14.

...Now, the lamplights come on, and the streetscape resembles something out of a movie scene you would see in the darkened cinema, a little distant, a little unreal. You would wish for a dash of drizzle, just to finish off the picture with a token cinematic denouement.

Lygon Street. Just a couple of minutes walk from the Uni. And this is also where I wait for my bus home everyday(:

Beautiful, right?

But the secrets to Melbourne

are not along grand promenades or in mega-shopping malls

- they are between these edifices, in the interstices of concrete and stone,

behind chain stores, beneath slants of sunlight.

Find an opening gap of a laneway wall-to-wall of spray-paint and graffiti,

and Melbourne reveals itself: indie bookshops in a city of literature,

quirky cafes in a city of coffee,

old record shops in the underground in a city of mazes.
In a different universe, in a world of its own, a secret gem to discover.

2010-03-05T19:59:00.001+11:00

1. Just received my timetable. LOOK. After Monday and Tuesday it really is WTF man. Haha. (read: morning lecture on W and tutorials on T and F). But on the brighter sideeeeee, SEE MONDAY! Only one lecture (Literature, boring) at 1.45pm. Which means...I have longer weekend and I can sleep in! YEAYNESS. It'll still feel kinda sucky though, going to school only for Lit. HA! But you know some of them have like one day with nothing at all. Jealous.

*by the way Lit as you all know stands for Literature, EAP is English for Academic Purposes, DR is Drama, M1 is Maths1, M-C is Media and Communications, ACC is Accounting and lastly HOI is History Of Ideas. L is lecture, T is tutorial. AND I GOT MARY AS ACCOUNTING LECTURER YEAY:D I LOVE HER!

2. Monday is Labour Day but we got no holidays:(

2010-03-05T19:43:00.003+11:00

2010-03-05T19:35:00.001+11:00

I'm a perfectionist.

And the map that I promised lol

2010-03-03T22:43:00.000+11:00

Basically everything coloured is part of the university.

2010-03-03T21:43:00.000+11:00

Skipped half of the Literature lecture and TADAAAAHHH camwhore all the way until the rest were dismissed. LOL.

Left to right: Cho Yin (I think) (Hong Kong), Eileen (Malaysia), Alvina (Indo) and ME!

Alvina caught a picture of me doing cartwheel HAHAHA

:DDDDD

If the sister spills something and the mom starts scolding her, the little brother would say something like:"It's okay. Just need to be more careful next time. "

But if it's the brother who spills something, before the mom even takes notice, the sister will go: "Mama! Look!"

That's why I sayang the brother more than his sister. The sister is so evil and cunning and manipulative I tell you. Anaknya ngotak, kurang ajar and gak nurut. And she sometimes uses her brother to get what she wants. Like if she is lazy to ask her dad or is afraid that she'll get scolded if she asks those kind of questions, she will ask her brother to ask instead. What the hell right?? It's like bullying! And sometimes she will whisper in his ear and get him to do things. And THAT INCIDENT WITH MY PHONE TOO!!! Irritating.

The brother, on the other hand, is so cute, lucu, quick-witted and so lovable. I dunno is it me or what but I feel that even the parents sayang the didi more. The sister gets scolded more often (but of course it's not for no reason, she likes to ask for it). Maybe that is also the reason why she loves it when other people gets scolded instead of her. Maybe that's why she LOVES to ngaduin people. I still sayang the brother more.

Oh yeah and another thing!! The other time the didi fell and bled like crazy but the sister would just walk around and talk as if nothing had happened. She didn't even take a look at her brother. What the hell right?! Got those kind of sister! But you know the brother always defends his sister if she gets bullied loh!

The sister is 9 and the brother is turning 5 by the way.

2010-02-28T00:16:00.002+11:00

I realised I've been posting less and less these days. Haha. I guess it's because I've been busier since school started. Excuses, I know. But one thing for sure is that I've been updating on Twitter more often than ever since I started using BB. Lol. So yeah, if you wanna know more about what's happening in my life nowadays, you should probably follow me on Twitter and get sms notifications or something. Cause I update it on the go. Haha.

Hmm you know apart from that guy from Swiss Cottage, there is also a guy from my church in Singapore (St Mary Of The Angels). Well I didn't know his name and he didn't know mine but I used to see him like every Sunday at St Clare's Hall although he's in a different group. Umm now I forgot his name but I remember that he was from Hwa Chong. Really a small world we live in yeah? Then I also met this guy called Myles from St Joseph (SJI) and a girl from Serangoon JC (she dropped out of JC and moved here).

There are a whole load of Malaysians. Sabah, Sarawak, Kota Kinabalu, Ipoh, Johor, KL etc etc. And there are quite a few of Indonesias too. Apart from the Swiss Cottage guy, okay let's stop referring him as the guy from SC, he's called Nuovo. Yeah apart from him there's also a girl from Medan, two girls from Jakarta then a few Indonesians who studied in Singapore too before this.

Hmm then.. The first person I made friend with during registrations is a girl from Hong Kong called Ada! She's a really nice girl(: then there is also this couple from Shanghai. They decided to come here to study together! How sweet is that? Haha. Her boyfriend is super quiet and she is like very chatty haha.

I think I haven't told you what I did this past week at the orientations? Well Monday was basically registrations, then the English Diagnostic (I found out that the purpose was to see everyone's level of English and then group you with people that have similar level of English as you, for the tutorials ), and then the tour around University of Melbourne and the different Trinity buildings. On Tuesday we attend introductory lectures of the subjects you want to take then Wednesday was subject-selection day.

We had our first lecture on Thursday. History Of Ideas. Damn boring I tell you. But then again it's history so what do you expect? Then in the afternoon we had information sessions on things like the Leeper Library, chaplain, counselling, green club or green team something like that etc etc. Friday morning we were given our student emails (mine is flojaya@trinity.unimelb.edu.au :D) and learn how to navigate around the student portal, told which computer labs on what building is open on weekends or weekdays and the password to enter those comp labs etc etc. In the afternoon we learned a few of the traditional Brazillian musical instruments and put up a performance for the Big Noise Event next Friday. We're doing some music/song whatever and then this guy from Malaysia is gonna b-dance HAHA. He's so cool okay! When we watched him breakdance, I saw many jaws dropped. LOL.

Okay. That's about it. Another thing.. The university is super huge and there are lots of small walkways and alleys those kinds! But you know the other day I successfully found my way from the campus on Lincoln Square North to the Melbourne Uni bookshop beside the Ballieu Library (I went in through the gate opposite the University Square on Grattan Street. I think it's Gate 10 or something) then back to the Trinity main campus on Royal Parade then to Union House without a map! Accomplishment! I'm truly proud of myself! I think it's the first day I survived without my map. Haha.

I might post the map of the university some other time. Meanwhile the post is getting too lengthy and it's midnight and I have to go to church tomorrow so I think I shall go to sleep. Maybe you can google 'map of Melbourne University' or something haha.

Tata!

P.S. I really need to do some shopping.

P.P.S My cousin tried my phone lock code for ten times and so the system resetted the phone and wiped everything clean! I lost EVERYTHING! My saved messages, contacts, photos, memos, data on password keeper EVERYTHING. I felt so pissed and upset and fed up and helpless that I cried. Silly maybe but I don't care. I'm very pissed. I had to start all over again like having a new phone but there's no way I can retrieve my contacts and saved messages cos I deleted all those in my old phone so I can't send everything again :( Why must this happened to me? T.T stupid lah!

2010-02-24T10:10:00.001+11:00

Can someone help me? My blog currently only displays like 2 posts...

2010-02-23T23:18:00.001+11:00

Above are photos of my aunt's house (where I'm living now), my wardrobe and my schooooool (only the main campus at Royal Parade. There are a few more buildings within the University of Melbourne compunds where we will have different classes and lectures etc. It can be damn far apart man. We went for the tour on the first day and I almost broke my leg=.= HAHA)! Did I tell you I meet the Swiss Cottage guy in Trinity? He used to come to BP for Higher Malay lessons and I saw him a few times during the exams. Lol. At first I dint recognise him cos he looks abit different but the funny thing is that he recognised me. He said sth like, "You're that girl from BP right!! I used to go there too!!" (The slow me thought he was an alumni or sth but it couldn't be cos we should be ard the same age =.=). He is Indonesian btw.

And and I forgot what I wanna say already. Hmm.. Oh yeah! Tomorrow is subject selection day so I only need to come for an hour! Yeayness! My chosen electives will be Maths1, Accounting (the teacher's mad fun!) and Media and Comm. Only can choose 3, no more no less. I wanted to do Psychology too cos the talk was kinda fun but I thought I can do it in uni later as a breadth subject. So yeah.

Hmm and.. The weather in Melbourne is kinda extreme. But one good thing about living in here is that you can find Indonesian food (like Indomie, bakso) etc much more easily than in Singapore :D

Okay maybe that's all for now. So till my next post!

Sydneyyyyy

2010-02-23T22:08:00.003+11:00

From the top of the lighthouse(:

(my sunnies were too low HAHAHA)

BONDI BEACH BONDI BEACH OMG I LOVE THE BEACHHHH

Had a long 10-hour journey from and back to Melbourne. Sydney is a pretty place but kinda chaotic when compared to Melbourne. Melbourne is more teratur haha (people in Melbourne dress better too!). But I love busy, bustling and dynamic cities. Like Sydney and Singapore. Melbourne is kinda quiet. I dunno. I might decide to move there after I graduate! Who knows! I love the streets, alleys and the little shops. I dunno. I just couldn't take my eyes off the window screen. It's like every corner we turn to is unique. I'm sorry I suck at describing. I just love looking at everything, absorbing everything. But they say it's a good place for holidays but not so for living. I heard things are more expensive there too!

Okay doing another post (:

CNY 2010

2010-02-23T21:43:00.001+11:00

* I think I took a better picture of the yusheng last year=.=

PHOTOS THAT ARE WAY OVERDUE.

2010-02-23T21:40:00.001+11:00

My cute little cousin Kaylene and her cousin Mikaela(:

My rooooooom. Part of it, that is. The wall is soft pink by the way. Lol.

These two pictures were taken from the porch of my house with two different modes of my camera.

Self-explanatory. This took place in early January when I went back to Sing for the O level results. So so so yesteryear, I know.

My other birthday cakeee.

And here is the look of the cheesecake I tried to make. It tastes okay but it's more like pudding rather than cake. HAHA. Next time I won't use gelatin.

2010-02-14T20:53:00.001+11:00

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day! And Happy Chinese New Year! I guess by now you should've collected quite a number of hongbaos already. Haha.

Just wanna say that I'm flying off to Melbourne tonight, 10pm flight. Teehee. It's like so damn freaking fast right? 3 months of holiday went by just like that. But anyway, I'm getting sick of holiday already so it's okay. 22 Feb come fast fast!

Sekarang saya lagi reflexi kaki (: I would love to post some pictures here (the rest of the photos from December holidays, Mom's birthday, photos of my cheesecake and kue lapis maybe haha and yesterday's Reunion Dinner etc etc) but my lappie isn't here with me now and I doubt this place has got wi-fi connection (read: I'm lazy). HAHAHA

Okay I think I will just re-watch the episode 3 of Glee or some other thing now. So till my next post! (Which will most likely from Melbie ).

Ta ta.

2010-02-12T04:08:00.001+11:00

1. I've just seen the map and the aerial picture (below) of Melb Uni and it's so damn freaking big omg. I'm so gonna get lost inside. But the good news is that the Trinity College has a separate compound for itself inside the university. So I may not need to roam around the whole place and get lost. Unless, of course we need to use the buildings or their facilities like swimming pool and courts and libraries etc.

2. I know I've mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook and it's so yesterday but I'm still gonna mention it here: I'm gonna have to say hello long time no see to Fahrenheit 451 and Ray Bradbury. It will be one of the book I'm gonna study this year, alongside 5 other novels (namely Hamlet and A Thousand Years Of Good Prayers) and a poetry book. I wonder how am I gonna manage those 6 books in a year. I could barely cope with F451 in two years. Why oh why does Literature have to be compulsory :( But anyway, luckily I didnt give my book to my junior. My book is full of useful notes okay? AND THANK GOD I STILL HAVE MY ESSAYS.

3. It's not fair that on the first day, students with surnames A-L have to go for registrations at 8 o'clock while the rest can come at 9. HOW UNFAIR! :( But I'm still excited, and nervous, and can't wait for 22 February. I've had enough of holidays. And just in case you wanna know my orientation will last until 5 March. It will consist of (as written on the documents) the usual team-building /ice-breaking outdoor games and activities, registrations, information briefings, workshops, ENGLISH DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE FIRST DAY (how sick is that??!!), introductory lectures, choosing of subjects etc etc. Oh man I dread the English diagnostic :(

4. And putting college stuff aside, I tried baking cheesecake yesterday. The no-bake one. It looks okay, but it tastes more like cheese pudding rather than cheesecake =.= I think I shouldnt have put the gelatin thingy. Then it should be more creamy. Lol.

2010-02-08T22:56:00.000+11:00

I want to have a room where I can put all my clothes, shoes, bags, necklaces, bangles etc etc like this. I mean it doesnt have to be a real room, more like a walk-in closet. One side of wall will be covered with mirror. HAHAH. And also not forgetting the dressing table.

Perfect.

2010-02-08T22:49:00.001+11:00

There's something about this photo that I cant really describe.

Dream, dream , dream..

2010-02-08T19:43:00.004+11:00

I had a rather weird dream last night. And for once I remember it when I woke up this morning. Well not everything, but there is one part that I can remember quite vividly, no idea why.

So there are four of us in a mall. Me, *****, and two other people that I'm not sure who. Then I think I saw something at a shop and went in to look around. While I was inside, the rest was talking. Then I came outside, and ***** ngerangkul gue! Weird or not?! Then the two of us walked first. We went up the escalator and he continued to ngerangkul me (I'm sorry I dunno what's it called in English). =.= I think I asked "What are you doing?", but he just smiled at me. Dunno lah. Very weird. Then S****** and her boyf Y***** saw us, and they were like staring at us and whispered to each other. Weird lah weird. And when I looked behind me I realised the other two wasn't there.

After walking up like three storeys we arrived at this bubble tea shop. Next to it was a small shop selling fried things. There we saw the other two. I think ***** said they took the lift. No idea why we took escalators and not the lift too=.=. One of them was holding a plate of chicken wings (?), and then the other I dint really remember. The one holding the chicken wings was none other than SUSU. Lol. The other I dunno who. Weird right??? Then the rest I don't remember le. Hahah. I think after that we went to some tunnel or what. There is water and it was kinda scary. Then the people are all different already. Weird lah. No link.

Lol my dreams are always weird. Dunno. And all no link de. Like sometimes can go swimming in the sea, like some swimming competition=.= then sometimes I go to this one place that I often come across in my dream.. It feels so familiar and real in the dream, the kind that I know every corner but I forget all about it when I wake up. Dunno lah.

Anyway, I know this is crap and you can ignore this post hahah. I am just writing all this down 'cause I am helping my aunt to make kue lapis and we have to bake it layer by layer so we have to wait so damn long. HAHA.

2010-02-07T16:36:00.001+11:00

This morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was to check my BlackBerry, as usual. I had two new emails, two new Facebook notifications, one new message in BlackBerry Messenger and also one new sms. The one that I opened first was the sms. It reads:

"Telah meninggal dunia ayahanda dari Christian Kartono. Semoga di terima di sisi-Nya. Sebarkan."

My friend's father was pronounced dead this morning of a cardiac arrest. Sigh. It must be tough for him. I suppose it all happened in a sudden. And Final Exam is coming soon too, for them :|

Normally I love seeing a new message when I wake up. But this.. is not what I expected.

Life is so fragile.

2010-02-07T04:14:00.002+11:00

Shall I start with my Album Art Project, or should I turn in now?

2010-02-07T01:06:00.002+11:00

2010-02-06T21:55:00.001+11:00

1. I have decided to not go to the BBQ. Kinda lazy cos the place is damn freaking far AND I dunno exactly where it is AND I'm not really close to anyone that's gonna be there.

2. I shall use the whole of tonight to do my 'Album Art Project'. Haha. Done up to H. I HAVE TO finish this before I leave for Aussie. I could probably stay until about 1, especially since (I think) my brother is gonna stay up to watch football too.

3. And I've just cleaned up my blog again. Yeah, which means some of the posts have been transferred to the other blog. Now I'm gonna do a bit of a revamp to my blog too cos I'm kinda sick of the blog skin already.

Sweet Seventeen

2010-01-28T22:19:00.001+11:00

I love pictures like this. And I would very much love to visit places with alleys like this.

2010-01-28T22:08:00.002+11:00

People say don't expect love to be a fairytale. I say I don't accept anything less.

Farewell

2010-01-28T02:03:00.007+11:00

Hello. Today is the JAE posting results. Heard alot of people went to Anderson JC, Anglo-Chinese and maybe SA. Malcolm and Tiara got into a same school lol. Happy for both of you(: (They got into SA). Alot of Oh-se7en people got posted there. Andrew, Malcolm, Pearlynn, Edmund, then.. eh. Just now Pear said until quite alot leh! Haha. But I forgot. I know Fengyu, Renxian and Alfred (?) got into AC. Then Huiping (?), Yongxiang, Weide, Jianwei and.. dunno who else got into NJ. Brina, Kuanyao and Engkiat and dozens of other BPians got into Anderson.

Well correct me if I'm wrong.

Of course I'm not part of the whole posting thing. Haha. So I don't feel the anticipation or anxiousness (?) whatsoever. But this thing slapped me back to reality and reminded me that high school life is over. Now they are going to JC/Poly and then just a few more years we would be out in the university already. (But of course, the guys would be serving in the army for two years first).

It all happened so fast, didnt it? It felt like yesterday, that day in July 2005 when I came to Singapore. I started applying to different schools, took the various tests, got shortlisted here and there blah blah got accepted in a few schools and how in the end I chose Bukit Panjang. I remember the orientation days, the days in oh-7 where there were so few girls and sometimes we were given special treatments. Haha. Then of course there was the Beauty and The Beast Musical, and Girl Guides. I made many new friends and starting to enjoy my CCAs, went through Scouts & Guides camps, campfires, Choir SYFs and performances. Then, in the blink of an eye, here we were at Sec 4 and we had to prepare for O levels. A year flies. (It was the year that I live alone and I'm sort of free to go anywhere hence the fun-est and the most memorable year :D) Then O levels, prom and BHAM! holiday is ending and tomorrow is officially the first day of school for some of them, the start of a totally new life (while here I have another month of holiday HAHA).

They say high school is the best time of your life. I cant believe it's over for us.

I'm starting to miss you guys. And I dont believe I'm saying this but I'm kinda missing Singapore too. I MISS BUBBLE TEA AND CURRY PUFFS!

So yeah, we are all going to our separate journeys now, so good luck to all of you. Work hard, whether you are in JC or Poly and graduate with straight As! Haha. As for me, I'm gonna have to work hard too this year. 'Cause getting into Trinity College only guarantees me a place at the University of Melbourne provided that I score the required marks at the end exams(although the percentage of people scoring the minimum marks is like 90plus%). So let's work hard together yeah people!

P.S. I just dyed my hair chestnut brown this morning.

P.P.S. And my student VISA is done tooooo (or whatever the term is)! Like finally.

It's time to say goodbye

Our year has come to an end

I have made cherished memories

and many more friends

We watched each other learn

We watched each other grow

and change from day to day

I hope the things we've done

have helped in some small ways

So it's with happy memories

we sent each other out the door

with great hopes and expectations

for what the future holds for us

2010-01-23T21:48:00.005+11:00

Hello world. Looks like I've abandoned my blog for far too long. Haha. I dunno why but it looks like I kinda lost my passion for blogging.. Hmm but still..here I am posting again! Haha.

(Tried to upload a picture but why the hell the stupid Blogger wont let me??)

So... I'm seventeen now and I feel older already. Haha. I sure didn't see this one coming. It's like.. it happened so fast... But... I guess I've grown more matured. And it has been a memorable year for me. This year was a mixture of craziness and blissfulness.., ups and downs, then I fell in love and then out of love, then there was O level and.. leaving Singapore... Hmm. And a million other things that happened throughout 2009. Well now I've come of age so I should be more mature and responsible and blah blah blah. Hmm and I hope I can be a better person too. Better in the sense of.. everything. Haha :D

On a lighter note, my parents die die don't want to get me that Jalou phone. Hor Susu, they think the same way as you=.= So they got me BlackBerry Bold 9700 for my birthday. Haha. Also not bad 'cause I can use the internet anytime anywhere now. So don't be shocked if you see me online 24/7 nowadays. And, I've just realised that it's the same phone Xiaxue is using=.=

I'm loving my iPod Touch(:(: okay and BB too. Haha. I'm currently working on the album art now. It's gonna get all filled up so when I flip through the albums it will be all nice and.. perfect! I have done those up to D.. Long way to go..

Overdued photos.

2010-01-20T22:39:00.000+11:00

The parking lot at Soekarno-Hatta airport.

This is baby shark lol. Before and after being eaten. LOOK AT THE BONE. LOLS.

Tried to form a heart lol but kept failing. HAHA.

2010-01-12T13:13:00.005+11:00

Hello everyone!

Got back O levels result yesterday. People who asked me about my L1R5 must be wondering why did I smile when I said "11". Okay that's the raw score. Minus 4 it'll be 7. But no diff anyway.

Yeah. So Junwei even said:
"You should cry."

But I just continued smiling. I told him I don't need to use my O level results. Why else do you think I can smile when I got 11 points??

Anyway, I guess if I hadn't known that I've got a place at Trinity the period before O level, I would study harder. HAHAH. Okay I'm making excuses lah. I'm quite dissapointed with some subjects. ESPECIALLY GEOGRAPHY. NEVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE I GOT AN A2 FOR GEOGRAPHY. WHY WHY WHY??? And my Chemistry and English, B3 each. Damn. I worked hard for Chemistry=.= I'm happy with Physics though. A jump from C6 to B3 is not bad right? (I've never gotten a B for Physics except once in Sec 2). And Bio from B4 to A1 also not bad right?? Higher Malay is expected, B3. Language has never really been my forte actually. Er left what? Oh yeah both Maths A1. And stupid Comb. Humanities A2. Screwed up my SS. And Lit too, because of Mr. Oehem.

But I don't need 6A1s or what. Just needed the slip to look good. But anyway, come to think about it, I also dunno my O level cert is for what man. I've got a place at Trinity already. Then to get into Mel U, they will use the marks from Trinity. Then my aunt said when you apply for a job, they don't ask for your High School grades either. Only uni ones. Then????

Yeah maybe I would cry if I havent got a place at Trinity/ if I were to stay in Singapore. But then, maybe my results would be different in the first place. Ha! Bleah.

P.S. Going out with Jianhui, Su and Pear later!

P.P.S. Saw the so-called famous 4-storey Forever 21 at Somerset 313 yesterday. But it's surprisingly freaking small!! From the way people said it I expected something at least bigger lah. I thought the one at Grand Indonesia lose to this one liao. But you know what, there, although only 2 storeys but it's way way way bigger than this. For one level it's still bigger than the VivoCity outlet. Can imagine?

But anyway, I like the mall! I like the shops! Belum puas disana kemaren. Maybe I'll drag them there today, after Jianhui is done with whatever he needs to buy at Raffles City.

2010-01-09T21:02:00.001+11:00

It's kinda sad I couldnt go the Sec One Orientation campfire this year. And I heard they're having Common Test soon. That's like even sadder.

2010-01-05T22:19:00.000+11:00

I love watching movies. I love watching those happy-ending love stories you call sappy. I love watching how two people meet at the right time, at the right place. I love how the problems sort themselves out and how everything else falls into place. And how in the end.. the boy and the girl are happily together.

Call me a foolish romantic. Tell me that those are only in movies, merely fiction, and that fairytales do not occur in reality.

But who knows? Maybe they do.

And you know, a girl can dream.

2010-01-05T22:11:00.001+11:00

I should be in Singapore around the dates 9-14. Either 10-14 or 9-13. Not sure yet. Stupid. Why can't they confirm the date of the release of result?? It will me make my life so much easier.

And grr. I have to bring back so many things. WHY OH WHY do I have so many stuff? And I still have a luggage full of.. bags. I miss my bags:( I only have one bag here with me now:( :(

2010-01-05T22:00:00.007+11:00

1. Honeydew with honey tastes awesome.

2. That night I dreamed about my O level results and it's super bad. I got 0 for English! Like.. How is that possible=.= Unless I dint turn up for the paper itself. Then if I'm not wrong, I got 40 for Geography. Hear that? FOURTY. For GEOG. If it's true I'm going to jump down. And then I realised, the actual results won't show any number. Just the grades. =.= And it was all a dream.

3. Then I saw the Wadaiko drum thingy at the arcade at Grand Indonesia the other day. And I dunno why (okay I do know why actually), it reminds me of someone. (Shall I put a smiley? Ok I think I should 'cause I feel like it). (:

4. The guy at the cashier at Kopitiam in Alam Sutera is super cute!! Ahhhh. But he seemed to be rather short as seen from a distance and.. he smokes. Boo.

5. I realised I cannot drink wine. (But I used to drink more than that and didnt get drunk). Weird. Or maybe the combination of the food. Or was it because I ate too much fish that day? Or was I too tired? But I fell sick straight after that. Nausea and.. slight headache. Everytime I eat or drink something, I will throw up right away. Worse feeling in the world. It's like you can't do anything but lie down and be still. You can't even sleep properly. And now when I think about it again, I don't think it's because of the stupid wine. 'Cos the last time I was drunk, I threw up once and then fell asleep all the way to morning. Anyway, I'm sick of Puncak. The last time I was there I got food poisoning it's because I ate something from there and had to go to the hospital. And it's also so so so so.. boring there.

6. I just found out that my mum likes Old Skool. Don't tell me you dunno what's Old Skool. You know Wham, Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody anyone?), Cyndi Lauper.. songs from the 80's. Lol. Okay. It's not that she likes, but rather the songs are popular back in the 80's, the period when she was a teenager. HAHA. I just.. find this one.. amusing(:

7. And I realised. I'm starting to love Boys Like Girls more than I love Simple Plan. How does that sound??? And they are FREAKING HAVING A CONCERT AT TENNIS INDOOR SENAYAN AT JAKARTA ON THE 25th!!!!! Mama I want to watch!

2009-12-23T04:49:00.001+11:00

(clockwise): Viona, me, Richelle, Aurel.

Pink cover:D

My 'genit' cousin Richelle. HAHA.

Derrick wants some JCO donuts too! Lol this pic damn funny. He was sitting on the table and then when the donuts came he just suddenly 'attacked'. This was the day I met Wanda and Bayu at Mall Taman Anggrek.

Dad's office.

Terence doesn't want to eat.

Abel with Rotiboy.

Then after Grandparents' Golden Wedding thingy, we went to rent a boat across Sungai Musi, the widest river in Indonesia if I'm not wrong. HAHA. Went to this Pulau Kemaro and this kampung, I forgot the name.

2009-12-21T16:12:00.003+11:00

My iPod Touch won't launch some of the applications:/ I can only see the background in a flash and then boom it will just bring me back to Home =.=

I'm trying to re-sync everything. Hope it works.

Anyone can help me?

I'm still here.

2009-12-20T04:19:00.002+11:00

I guess everybody makes mistakes. And no one is perfect.
Kesel, marah, frustrated. Campur jadi satu.

Tomorrow is the day.

P.S. Will update more often soon. And properly. Proper posts. With photos. I promise. The hotel has got free wi-fi but I've been so busy lately with this and that. So yeah.

2009-12-12T11:54:00.000+11:00

Going Jakarta again. Ngurus visa.

I wanna go Santorini.

2009-12-02T17:57:00.003+11:00

Today's T's birthday. Tp kok dia sombong amat sih. Cuma bales 2 kali. Cih. Gw cuma basa basi juga kali.

Hello Jakarta.

2009-12-02T17:52:00.000+11:00

And hello traffic jam.

Goodbye Singapore.

2009-12-01T13:20:00.002+11:00

Hello December.

I'm going home already. At the airport now.. Boarding at 1050h.

A little bit sad huh to think that from today onwards I can no longer call Singapore my home.. And yesterday I was telling Malcolm while we waited for the taxi like.. So sad. I've lived at Glendale for more than four years already. 4 years really flies damn fast.. And to think that the next time I come to Singapore again I won't go back to Glendale. I will be staying either at my aunt's place or some hotel. So for sure I will rarely go to the west side. And that is also saddening since that's where the memories are.

Anyway, yeah maybe that's all for now. If I'm going to continue and go on and on about memories I made here in Singapore, it's gonna take like.. a gazillion years. And this post is gonna be.. super long. So I should just skip all that. But the memories are forever etched in my heart (kok jadi puitis??). Anyway. It's not like I won't come here forever again=.= so yeah it's kinda silly if I say all those but later I come again for holiday or what. Do you get what I mean?

So yeah! Till next time peeps! I will be staying at my aunt's place at BSD and wait for Viona to come back from Malaysia on the 4th, and then we'll go back together (hopefully by car). So I can 'play' at Jakarta for a few days first. Maybe I'll post again during one of the days.

Addios.

On my hopes, wishes and ambitions.

2009-11-30T02:51:00.008+11:00

Short-term and long-term.

1. Own a boutique.

I wanted one that sells clothes that I designed aka start my own clothing line. Therefore I want to learn Fashion Design! But let's be realistic here, if I go study Fashion Design 1) All the years I've spent studying Maths and Sciences etc etc will just go to waste and 2) I doubt it would be easy. Esp. when you're new in the industry and noone knows you etc etc. And even if you work for someone else.. c'mon the pay isnt satisfying, I guess? I dunno lah. I just feel that (this is my own opinion), that the future won't be good. So.. IF I would, I would only do it after I'm done with everything else (like I've already gotten a degree in something more.. yeah). But if I don't, I will probably just sell other people's brands loh. I would carefully select and choose what my shop will be selling myself!

2. Own a cafe.

Preferably beside my boutique! So those guys waiting for their moms, girlfriends, friends, sisters etc etc shopping can wait there to have a cup of homemade coffee and cakes or something. HAHAHHA The recipe will be from me! HAHHAH. Like.. I dunno.. I will invent something cool and something you can't find anywhere else. Something unique lol. Maybe a blend of Indonesian food and Western food or Chinese food. LOL. Who knows! You know if I'm going to do double major in Accounting and Management, I would try to work for someone else first and then start my own business. Like this! Then I would quit my job and work full-time at my cafe and boutique. (That's why must be side by side so it's easier). LOL. I believe my parents can teach me alot about business and managing the money, accounting, how to be a good boss, managing the employee etc etc. :D:D

4. Internships.

Since I'm going to be an Accountant, I wanna work for those big accounting firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers or Ernst&Young. Or maybe for fashion houses like Chanel or Dior or something. HAHAH. Or fashion magazines like Vogue or Elle. HAHHAHAH. Dream on! Okay dunnid so big bah. I just want an experience in a big company.

5. Get married in Greece.
Like in Mamma Mia! you know! In a church. Then that kind of wedding dinner. Outdoor, all white, and a little maroon here and there. With all the lights. Overlooking the cliff and ocean, if possible. AHHHH. LOLS.

6. Travel around the world.
And maybe backpacking too.. To some countries in Europe or US or some exotic countries like Bhutan or something.

7. Find time for dance lessons!

The only forms of exercising that I love are swimming, basketball, badminton, shopping and dancing!

8. Housewife hopes.

I would like to get married between age 24 to 28. Hahahs. And then I would continue working until I have children. Then I would stop working (and continue only when my children reaches high school or something). I wanna be a full-time housewife between the period. You know, prepare breakfast, send the kids to school and tuitions etc, guide them with homework, watch them play in the backyard, gardening, cook dinner, do the laundry, standing by my husband all the time (LOLOLOL), making sure he is well taken care of, wait for him to get back from work, give him a massage, ensuring the home stays homey, giving the love my family needs... and it's starting to sound like fairytales or those happy endings you see in movies. But well.. you get my point. I think being a housewife is a noble job leh. And sadly as I'm typing this I don't see you. I don't see you in my future.

9. I also want to build a foundation to help the poor. I dont have to be rich enough. I can just like.. ask for donations maybe. I dunno lah. Like build hospitals for the poor or law firms so that the poor can have a lawyer too.. Etc etc. Or maybe something smaller like.. giving out stationeries, bags, shoes or rebuilding school in poor parts of Indonesia maybe. I dunno. Just.. you know, giving out something.

10. A Volkswagen convertible beetle in hot pink.

11. And lastly, a beautiful house. And a man, the love of my life, to build the home with.

A day of picnic, kites, frisbee and the sun.
