GD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!!

What a nice tues morning. THe aroma of maple favoured pancake simply fills the room. Haha but its not me making them. Nick's in charge of it. Hahah actually i do feel quite bad sometimes as nicky boy is always the one in charge of breakfast. Somemore i just dont have the urge of waking up early.That habit is simply not in me man! Ok, school is now into its 3rd week and well.. its really astonishing at how fast they are actually teaching us. Last night i was looking through some of my poly notes and i realised that for aeropropulsion, they had actually completed a poly's semster work within a week!! How insane is that?!Although maths is more like 2-3 chapters a week as compared to 1 chaper a week in poly? Maths is really a headache! Those who had heard me complain will know that, on monday which is the first class , we would always leave the class room dumbfounded with lots of question marks around our head then come fri, we'll leave the class with a "Hmmmmm....." or so to speak, we do understand alittle bit.Then before u know, the whole cycle repeats itself. Goodness!! Ok enough for school work!

Last weekend, Nick and I paid a visit to his auntie over in melbourne. Haha she's a vv nice lady. She brought us around to her place, over to boxhill , lunch and also dinner at the end of it. Nick also has got a vv distant cousin named, zy. She too seems vv nice. Haha Life is so much better when u start to have friends. Maybe its a pity its not like in sg. But i'm definately happier as compared to when i just arrived. Hopefully we could have outings whereby we could just bring an friend the others dont know and then frm there get to know more pple. Idea? hmm.. well we'll see!

Oh.. I've been stewing soup since last night and the smell of it is fantastic!! ABC, Carrots, potato , onions and tomato with pork bones since last night!! ma ma mi ya! =) The last time we had bak ku teh and we stewed it overnight, it ended up that even the pork bones were soft enough for us to just bite it! awesome right?! This is what happens when electrical is inclusive of the rent. lol.

Oh i've another song that i'm really into it right now. check it out man

Lyrics if ya wanna sing along with it =)

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I haven't felt this way before
Everything that I do
reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
are lyin' on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were meant for each other
I keep forever
Oh oh oh oh oh

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Friday morning 0338hrs and i'm still not asleep. Sigh this inaliblity to sleep is really starting to piss me off badly! I hate being awake now. I just hate it. Apart from the 1.5hrs tram ride to bundoora and back, now i have even more time to think of nonsensical stuffs. When is all of these going to end? I hate it!! being in such a situation! I feel so stupid, so narrow minded , so damm sad. I think i had even gotten the wrong playlist of songs to serenate me to bed.

Have you ever - brandy
On bended knees - BoyZIIman
All that i need - boyzone
Everything i do i do it for you - bryan adams.

etc etc etc

Screw it! why do i need to be so emotional in the first place. I dont have the farKinG right! Wouldnt things have been better if i had not fallen into this? I am confused. I dont know whether if what i'm doing is right or wrong. Questions left unanswered, doubts left floating , emotions going haywire. Is this the way it should be? Why cant I be in control of myself more. Or better still, what had happened to the once numbed, out of feelings, dried of emotions dan? Maybe I was happier then. Was I truly happy? I've got no idea. BUt i do know that i have had a few weeks of pure happiness. Maybe i should live with the fact that happiness is always short lived.

"

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught to die
so its not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball.

"

And yet with a simple start of a conversation, my mood totally changes. Its is really an emotional rollercoaster ride. Damm i really hate myself. Nvm.. let write about something happy to clear the atmosphere abit.

Well, today i've made another friend! So happy! Yvonne! She's a Singaporean and was from SP Aero too! But apparently she was here since the start of the year. Ok she does seem like a pretty quiet person but well, it cant be helped i guess. Its our first time talking to her. Haha! lets see, since i came here, how many new friends have i made? Esther and that is all thanks to jiahui! thanks for intro esther to me !! now got another squash kaki! And Thanks to Esther for introing Joanne too! Then i have to thank my dad somehow for intro-ing me his malaysian's colleque daughter, Jennifier who actually stays 6 rooms away from Nick and myself. Hahah! ANd thanks to Jennifier for letting us know her cliche of friends although i dont think i can recall all their names. But they do seem like vv nice pple! Then there's of cos Aaron who was from our cohort of Aeronautical students. Hmm.. the squashers in rmmiT..well.. they seem pretty cold.. but it would really be great if i can get to know ben , jacky better? shrugZ. This squash team is realy alittle cold..And speaking of squash, i think nick and myself are able to join in the Australian Uni Games in September and the games will be conducted in Cold coast! hOW CoOl is that? But sad to say, there's a $$ requirement. Its $$450 for 5 days worth of acoomodations, 2 dinners. And that does not include the transport fees. OuCh.. its kinda painful in my pocket now. OH back to friends.. there's also Kelvin, a Singaporean from my project group in aerosystems, Nick from Thailand and Feng a Pr here but he was from China though. So overall i guess its not too bad right? well.. slowly slowly bah. Although i must say i do miss sg and i really really miss sg but oh well..what to do.

"

if we hold on together
i know our dreams would never die
dreams see us through to forever
when clouds roll over
for you and I

" If we hold on together - Diana Ross ?

Hmm, i guess i'm feeling slightly happier now but really..what should i do? hai

helllo!!!

Before i start bloggin, i wanna say that this neck of mine ought to be chopped off man! I dunno whats wrong but it has been hurting for the past few days. To be exact, today is already the 4th day and it hurts =( hai!!

Its finally saturaday!And i've finally found some time to blog alittle bit! Hows life babes? Well, i have finally understood the cons of having 2 years of doing nonsensical, non studies related activites. Dont you think that government should actually have the option for students after their Polys or As to choose whether they would like to pursue their studies first or serve their national service? I mean like, i also have friends that are working after they have finished their NS. LIke for them, it would be perfectly fine to do NS first. BUt for those who would like to further their education, the option should be opened for them to go for their studies first and come back for their national service later. Of course, there is the possiblity of them migrating or changing their citizenships and as what singapore is good at doing, there can always be terms and regulations governing the contract as to whether to further their studies first or not. Anyway yeah i'm complaining so much as i was totally dumb founded with mathamatics and aerodynamics on the first week, no , on their first lesson of the semster. OMG! what laplace transformations? I cant even remember how integration works man! Then what boyle's law, PV diagrams bah bah bah. omG!!! I cant seem to recall anything!!! diE! =( ANd i guess my course isnt like what my mum says, "singaporeans who come over here, confirm will do well de as Aussies are lazy!" Omg! Thats not possible for my course man! lOoking at the way they are, its no wonder why the lecturers are so proud of the course and us. Its really a demanding course and honestly i am also glad that their degree has been established for quite some time. Let me show u one of my lecturer.Non of my Sp lecturers are anywhere near him in terms of qualifications and he is my current fav lecturer~! http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=4v46phzbvim;STATUS=A?QRY=sinha&STYPE=PEOPLE
Dr Sinha. He is just totally awesome. Using "Fuck" in the middle of class, having social sciences students as his first source of entertainment while automative students as his second. He is simply just a role model man! lol. It would definately be great if he happens to be my lecturer in charge when i'm doing my final years. oh well!

Enough about school... lets see..the lifestyle here. Firstly i must say that the aussie government really takes good care of their citizens. Its really welfare man! Can u imagine? They actually knock off earlier on fridays.. like say 3pm? Where in the hell do u get that in singapore man? NO WAY! Fake MC la! ANd there's also alot of welfare for the under privalage people as compared to singapore. Thats definately a plus point there. But other than these..I cant think of anything else man. Food is expensive..no let me rephrase, everything here is expensive. and although everybody says that in western countries, the people tend to be more friendly and stuffs? But in actual fact, it turns out to be that , when they actually try to talk to u, u wont really know whether if they are sincere or not. Unlike back in sg, its more obvious whether the person is just trying to FU YAN u or is really interested in being friends with u.ANd there's really something that Australia should adopt from Sg. Come oN! You guys end activities way too early! I'm still in disbelief that i'm home by 6 almost every other day! like omg! thats like so GUAI of me! when will ya see that in sg man? And one more thing.. their schools, should really have orientation CAMPS. Damm i'm so envious of all my friends who are now going through their orientation camps! so xin Fu!!! hai..

ANyway today Victoria's market seemed to have some crazy sale or something. Everything is like going for dirty cheap?! One big packet of potatos are just going 1 buck! 1 buck!! can u believe it? 2 steak pieces of salmon for 10 bucks. or how about 2bucks off if u were to buy a kg of meat. HUGE naVal oranges for only 99cents per kgs! gosh! insane!! Nick and I like bought alot of things today la! if i'm not mistaken we spent about 50 bucks today buying like,

1)garlic
2)brocoli
3)salmon
4)mince pork
5)mince beef
6)pork bones
7)pork ribs
8)carrots
9)garlic
10)apples
11)grapes
12)kiwis
13)oranges
14)white cabbage
15)mushrooms
16)sweet potatoes
17)french beans
18)bean sprouts

Yup! not too bad right? hahaha! Oh yeah pardon me for the lack of pictures too.. quite lazy to take pics nowadays. Oh.. there's one more gd thing about here! their movie theatres right, their seats. OMG! I can tell you, it definately beats any of our singapore theatres man. Their seats are like so comfy and big! and there's alot of leg room unlike in singapore. Of cos they have to cater to the western sizes but then, singapore is multi racial? And arent we being resist by offering smaller seats to our western counterpartS? Hmm..that is definately something they have to look into.

Oh.. after reading so much right.. i wanna apologise to some of my friends, as you can see on the friend's links on the left, there are now more names in them. sorry that i took so goddamm long to update it. haaha sorrry la.. was really lazy k =p.

Anyway as u all know , cars here are cheap. That day, there was an advertisment selling a mitshibitshi Pajero 1989 V6 for only 5500bucks! New tires and road tax till nxt year. Damm tempting right? There's also another one thats quite tempting. A mazda Astra. The hunchback version of the 323 series. That one also 5000 bucks. But then we dont quite know the condition of the car as its from a retailer and we havent really been bothered to check up on it. But it definately looks gd. Like in the transformers movie. Its not you who chooses the car, its the car who chooses you!

Speaking of movies. Transformers was awesome!!! I totally love Micheal Bay!! He is an awesome director man! The man behind movies such as armaddegon, black hawk down, pearl harbour. He is the man! And Megan Fox! OmG! what a babe man!! lol. Then there was also harry potter. Ok.. i like the movie but damm the book was better! Something that i have learnt. Always watch the movie first before reading the book. I guess that way your expectations of the movie would not be that high.And Emma Watson. Omg, i think she's damm pretty too! Haha..maybe i should get a life size poster of both and put it my in my room. damm. I'm thinking way too much.

Ok enough for today.. i need to head back to the books!

This song was intro-ed to me by yimin intially and i had liked it alot but its only recently that i was able to relate it more.. i hope you guys would enjoy this to.

Tiger Lily
by Matchbook Romance
album: Stories And Alibis (2003)

we drive tonight,
and you are by my side.
We're talking about our lives,
like we've known each other forever.
the time flies by,
with the sound of your voice.
its close to paradise,
with the end surely near.
and if i could only stop the car
and hold onto you,
and never let go...
i'll never let go.
as we round the corner
to your house
you turned to me and said,
"i'll be going through withdrawl of you for this one night we have spent."
and, i want to speak these words
but i guess i'll just bite my tongue,
and accept "someday, somehow"
as the words that we'll hang from.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

why does tonite, have to end?
why don't we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
we'll skip the goodbyes.
if i had it my way,
i'd turn the car around and runaway,
just you and i.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things
and i...i dont wanna make things any worse

Hey all!!

Sorry for the late of updates.I've been really lazy lately. Anyway just to let everybody know! NIck's here!! Rather he is soundly asleep in the other bed at the moment. haha.. i'm really thankful for Nick being here. If it wasnt for him, i think i'll really be sad being all alone here while waiting for school to start.

Anyway with nick here, cooking seems alot more exciting and there's more variety in the things that i eat too! So far we already had salmon! potato soup, tom yam noodles and alot more! haha! i'm growing so fat! Today we had actually went to the market, gotten ourselves like 2 kgs of fish, 2 kgs of chicken wings , pork bones for soup and some veg.

I dont quite know what to write actually..cos all we did were recce out fishing places.. go to shopping centres in the cbd area. Right now i'm actually thinking of trying out on taking their trains to the various suburbs but doesnt seem worth the money to do so though. shrugZ i would rather drive around.

These few days i've been thinking alot on what i really want. 4 years is really a long long time. Should i wait till the end of the 4 years? or should i just do it when i'm back in dec? Somehow i'm worried that the end of 4 years, i might have already lost my chance. But then again, i dont want it to end .. rather i dont wish for it to end at all. I havent felt so serious over something for such a long time and i am really confused. I'm already so picturing us together, maybe even working together if what u really want is to be an air stewardess. omg.. i think i am going crazy. this is really driving me insane. The simpliest of things that you say,do, can so easily make my day , any time , any where.sometimes i really wish i know how or what you are feeling or thinking. this distance.. is really a challenge. i'm sorry that i'm no longer there for you not being there when u need me. sorry.

sorry was just letting some of my thoughts run wild here...

its freezing cold now..

nightz all!
