I am starting work on the 1st of Oct.

I am excited and anxious.

Vivian's Wedding

Date: 16th Sept 2007

Place: Keningau

This was a wedding of a friend, Vivian Yap whom I met back in 2001 in Trinity College,

Melbourne. She's from Keningau,Sabah.We stayed in touch eventhough we went separate

ways in 2002.It was quite unexpected when she announced in June that she was getting

married.She even joked saying it was not because she got pregnant!Most of her friends were

shocked at the news because she always said that she will not settle down anytime soon.

It was a very happy event.It was a Chinese wedding where 'Sisters' (friends and relatives)

of the bride were to give the groom challenges before bringing the bride to the grooms house.

The groom had to do 3 things before he was allowed to see the bride and whisk her away.

He was allowed to be helped by his 'Brothers' (friends and relatives) if necessary.I was with

the bride the whole time so what happened outside was a blur to me.We 'sisters' were given

red packets as a token of gratitude. The bride and groom had to serve tea to the brides' parents

and close relatives before proceeding to the grooms house doing the same thing.Everyone

was asked to take pictures with the bride and groom by the profesional photographer hired

before the buffet lunch served at the grooms. This was followed by a reception dinner that

took place at a hotel where they invited 55 tables of friends and relatives. The food was

fantastic-seafood!They went all the way to make sure it was a wedding to remember. Did I

mention the bride was really pretty?The groom looked good too!

I wish the newlyweds happy ever after!

Choc Pudding Cake

Jess invited us GIRLS over to her place to make a Jamie Oliver's recipe of a Chocolate Pudding Cake.It was meant to be a fun and an all girls event which turned into a disaster...sort of because Bell brought her boyfriend which happened to be Alric over!Guess who ended up making the whole shit?Alric!Not that I don't appreciate the help...I was looking forward to it just being us girls and us trying to make the cake....not having a guy who keeps telling us we did this wrong,we should've or shouldn't have done this,blah blah blah.....I'm already a bad cook,I don't need that for something we are attempting the first time!The picture could probably tell you it was not a yummy cake...but not yucky either....no comment la...sigh....sorry Jess!But I'm sure you know how I feel la...Well,the fun part was Sheesha!Sharina brought her Sheesha over...it was strawberry mint flavor!mmmm....oh oh...we ended up asking shawn to come over.Funny guy that one!

P/s: Jess,let's have another baking session!This time,we will make sure it's all girls only!

Another Night in Shen's

This was a recent photo taken with everyone (Sharina,Jessica,Bellmarie,Sarah,Keffrey,Voon and Vui Oon). Went to Shen's again, our regular haunt.Vui Oon only had a Vodka Lime and a glass of Whiskey and he was red as a lady bug!!Tipsy too...his drinking has not improved!hahaha...I'm getting O-L-D too!I can't drink as much as I use too without feeling tipsy!I get hangovers the next day too!sigh...look what numbers can do to us!!

That's Bell(Bellmarie) given the punishment to drink straight from the bottle,5 seconds rule!She did it!As you can see!No hu-ha for the night,nice and enjoyable!

It feels so great to be in Melbourne again!Only this time,I am here as a tourist.

It was great to see the shock faces of Sandy,Benny,Myrna and Ivy when they saw me.Sandy,I was so touched that you shed tears of happiness when you saw me.

Not to forget ex-classmates from my fashion course.It was great to see you(Grace,Yoshie,Maureen,Manal,Kylie and Trace) too!Well,they were the only ones who bothered to say hello anyway.I was at their 'Black & White' exhibition in David Jones for their media launch.It was great seeing the students work,felt nostalgic somehow.I miss sewing!HaHaHa

Thank you Sindy for:-
-Letting me sleep on your bed.
-Spending time with me.
-Being so hospitable.
-Being you.Love ya!!

Meanwhile,hope all is well over in Perth with my sister Becca.I know I'll see her again for a few days before leaving for KK but just a little worried about leaving her behind.It is time for my baby sister to grow up and be independent!hehehehe...yes yes,there's Melissa again but she's got ages to go before leaving for overseas education.Be a good girl dear!I'm gonna miss you lots and lots.No more partner to go for spur of the moment drinks,roti canai,magazine hunting,eating out,picking and dropping Melissa from school and tuition,etc....sniff sniff....hate the idea already!!But I still wish you all the best!!You know I love ya sis!!xx

Freedom?

I MISS MY FREEDOM!!!

sigh....i'm freakin' 24!!my parents still treats me like a 17yr old.They are questioning my bedtime and my waking time......????Wha....????exactly!!!I don't know if I'm just not perfect enough or am really lazy. It always seem to happen when I decide to wake up late and they happen to catch it!That's miniscule.There's always something to complaint about.Who am I going to vent to?NO one!!cos no one will understand!We all have different parents after all.Whoever thinks staying home without working is such heaven,THINK AGAIN!!!!In the case for those who has maid,driver,nanny,etc.....being bored might be torture.To ME,it is pure bliss!!I'm very much a home person,but in a situation like this,I like being away from home.And you know what's the funny thing?I seems to always get it from my parents.My sister get away easy.Just shrug it off or pretend she heard nothing.Being ELDEST sucks!!Everything goes on my shoulder.Whether I like it or not,I have to do it!sigh....Maybe I'm being selfish....maybe it is a sign of being unfillial....maybe I've been home too long.....Can you tell me what my problem is???sigh.....

I can't wait for my short holiday to Australia.Half holiday,half bringing my sister over to settle her down.See...being eldest and experienced means I have to postpone everything else and bring her over.Do you call that lucky?Maybe....at least I get to be away for awhile.Taste a little bit of freedom again.I can't wait!!!

To Sandy

Happy Birthday

Sandy!!

My M.I.A. Note

First of all,sorry to my friends for not updating you guys.My computer wasn't functioning and I've been travelling to Macau and Hong Kong for my sister's school holiday.Was away for a week.When I got back,my computer was still acting up!Frustration there!In case you are wondering,NO,it is not fixed yet.I am at a family friends place.Sad sad!!Do you feel for me?I feel for myself....tsk tsk....

My parents was away for 2 whole weeks!In America.I had the whole house to myself....and my sisters.It felt great!I can do whatever at my own pace of time!That was awesome!Oh well....won't be long til I head to Perth with my sister.Helping her settle down while I visit the place since I've never been to Perth.It'll be a great trip!

Besides that.nothing interesting has been happening.

Note to Jess,Rach and Viv:Oh oh,I was told that Dean Yang is back but will be gone next Wed.Hopefully,I can catch up with him!Will update you guys on that!

My Bestie's Trip to KK

This was the first day when Seng and Rina arrived. I showed them Tg.Aru before dropping by 'Olde Kopitiam' at Warisan Square for breakfast. Surveyed the place before heading to Atmosphere at Yayasan Sabah for lunch with my mum,sister and aunt. Seng loved the beach view while Rin loved the moving restaurant. As Rin pointed out in her blog, their stay here has a lot to do with food!hahaha....Bet you guys miss the food now!

The first night we partied at Shenanigans. Alric,Keffrey and Voon were so happy to see Saerah as they have not seen her for about 7yrs!Time flies!Another interesting part of the night was Rina wore a skirt,a mini-skirt!va-va-voom!She looked hot!I think we all had a great time!Seng,that was the first time I've seen you totally out there!She left Shen all steady,but once at home,she surrendered!hahaha

That was the yummy breakfast Rina's mum cooked us the bext day.Nasi lemak!My favourite!Rina joked about her place being the ultimate bed & breakfast that no other place can compare!I agree Rin!Come back soon ya!hahahahha

Made a trip to Karambunai.Saerah's main itinerary for her trip to KK was to see,breath and touch the beach!Wish come true I'd say!Too bad we couldn't stay long as it started drizzling. It was great having Nurnadia, Voon and Bryan with us for the picnic.Only wish more people could've made it!

On the second night,we ended up in Shenanigans again.Initially,we wanted to go to the Bed at Waterfront but because we still had a bottle of Chivas in Shen and Bev wanted to go to Shen,we decided to go back to Shen. This time,Terence turned up and this other guy call Max.We bumped into Emil and Kamal.The crowd was larger and better tonight.We tried speeding things up by playing cards.Really funny!We ended up finishing the drink without the aid of the cards!hahaha...

Last day for Seng and Rina. Drove them around.Stopped by Tg.Lipat for pictures of the sea.Last stop was Tg.Aru.Had a drink before sending them to the airport.Spent some time at the airport before saying our goodbyes.It was sad but nevertheless, contended.It was great to have you guys around.Come back soon!!xx

Nail Art

First of all,

Happy Labour Day

(to those of you who are working!)

Second of all,

I'd like to share my first attempt with nail art.

I always thought it was hard but I never thought it was this hard.

Maybe it was a first attempt.

It took me an hour to do both hands.Not calculatting drying time.

Pretty fast I'd say,considering it would take twice ot thrice as long in nail salons!

I was too anxious to get it done,hence,I smudged a few fingers.

I applied gold tone yellow nail polish,attached stick on laces and stuck diamantes.

I got compliments out of it.I was happy but I myself knew that this nail

art was a complete failure.Oh well,first attempt!hahaha

Would you like to tell me what you think? :)

My Sydney Trip

It's a little bit late but just want to share my trip to Sydney with my fellow friends.

A very brief description of my trip-->
I went to Sydney last year in November.Stayed at Viv's apartment and her bf, Thomas drove us around.Thanks guys!We took a ferry and saw Luna Park,Sydney Opera House and the Harbour bridge.Made a trip to Sandy's house and met her cat,KuKu.Went to a couple of malls and Paddy's market(Similar to Victoria market in Melbourne).Visited the Pancake Parlour in Sydney,had chocolate pancake.Gets a bit sickening after a few bites,especially after a very full dinner!Nevertheless,it was good!

Eating was mainly on the tour itinery.Vivian,being an expert with food brought me around trying Chinese and Japanese food,not only mains but dessert as well!YUM!!I also went to the famous Fish market.We ordered so much we had a hard time finishing it!It was quite an experience!I also tried the ever famous Deep Fried Mars Bars.It was yummy,not something you'd have often though!

It was a short but fun and enjoyable stay!Recommended for a holiday but not for long term stay.Sandy might argue that with me!haha..

(The above is not in order!)

Take Care!

April to look forward to...

Nothing interesting recently except Vivian introduced me to Trace who started the magazine YOBE. It is a local (Sabahan) fashion magazine in Chinese.Has lots of potential to become a better magazine in time to come. The magazine is currently on hold for further improvements whilst Trace takes a trip down to Perth for a break and to re-evaluate the possibilities of the magazine.She also introduced me to an old friend of hers,Camuel,a guy who studied photography in San Jose, California.Thanks for introducing them to me Viv!

April.
MY best friend Saerah and Rina are going to make a trip back to KK to visit me!YAY!Can't wait!I have not seen Saerah for 1 1/2 yrs now.I can't wait to bring her around and show her the changes around KK.
Another exciting event is the possibility of a trip to Singapore with my mum.I have not set foot into Singapore for about 6yrs!A holiday away from home will be nice.

Oops....time's up!I'm in a cyber cafe... need to pick up my sister from tuition.

Bored but...

All the hype of February has died down.
Most of my friends are back to wherever they need to be right now(studies,jobs,etc..).
Festive season and other celebrations are over.
I just had a minor skin surgery(to extract this mole-like thing growing on my left arm near my pits) that does not allow me to do much!Stitches will come off this sat.Can't wait!restricted movement is a pain in the ass!!
I am totally clueless as to where to start with job hunting although I know where I would like to go.I'm not as independent or as confident/capable as I thought I was with the whole "I'll get round to it eventually!".This next big step to the 2nd part of my life is alot harder than I thought.Shit!
Miss my freedom of being alone, can't wait to have a life I can call my own again!This will come round when I do get a job!!
I am starting to get sensitive. I am beginning to feel the pressure from my parents that I am sitting around doing nothing. Wanting to stay home and watch TV feels like a crime.Why?My mum makes me feel guilty for wanting to stay home and do my own things!She has her way of expressing them.
I feel bored,yet I don't know how I would like to go about my life right now.Somebody gotta point me in a direction.Yes I know,start looking for a job....but....as I mentioned above,I am lost.May sound like a lame excuse but that is exactly how i feel....maybe I am anxious about this whole job situation, maybe I am just waiting for something to come along,maybe......
I don't know!
I don't know how I am feeling right now...
Do you understand how I feel?
