It is a beautiful quality relationship where not every couple could or manageable to have.

Can I?

It's far, I can't see where the ocean ends.

I'm sorry, we are miles away.

It's hard to keep the heart from wandering

especially when you have all time alone.

Am I just running in a circled pathway all these years?

Is there an exit or a place to have break?

This is a challenge which I have committed in.

Independence is all I need,

to have my own enjoyable hobbies,

to not dependent on you for gratification.

Sleep tight and sound, Yilee

xoxo

Easter is coming.

This is what I did on my last weekend.

Had a after dinner-baking session with aunt.

Tada~ HOT CROSS BUNS!

Putting on the crosses, that's the sign, can't be without it isn't?

The end product is here! emmm, not too bad for the first attempt. Passed and can be improved. =)

I'm feeling a bit more free this year compared to the previous year. That's most likely because I'm not involved in too many club activities and less working hours lately. More time for myself, more time to relax and more time to sleep!

Also, the clock is ticking very slowly to me. I'm only back in Melbourne for nearly three weeks, i felt like two months. I just can't wait to finish the year and move on to the next stage. I think I had too much fun and enjoyed very much during my two months holiday in Malaysia. I'm still missing it and I wish I can have more!

Previous post was when I just started and joined in the team in my summer project.

Now, three weeks had past. Two more weeks to go and I'm done with it. Must admit that time is flying very quickly. I'm now quite use to the work, the duties and feeling happy on my progress thus far.

A few photos of my baking to share, food once again.

Cherry crumbled cake

Can u tell what biscuits are those? I love this cny cookie. Had a too big dream to make 'melt in your mouth' kuih bangkit, but failed. Although didn't get the texture I wanted it to be, I enjoyed the drawing session. =p

Sinfully rich dark chocolate cookies. One is definitely not enough.

Dear friends,

for those who having exams or in the last few weeks of the semester, good luck!

for those who having holidays, have fun!

It's the last month of the year, the best month of the year, the festive season where one festival come after another. Get ready for the parties and celebrations =D

missing you, I'll join the fun soon soon sooooooon!

A post from a few days ago.

Life is short. We have a lifespan. 365 days and you grow a year elder. 24 hours a day. 8 hours for sleep and 16 hours left.

Treasure and adore the people who are concern about you. In dealing with those who doesn't care about you, still be nice, give them your appreciation, not overdose, just at a basic dose.

Live a life. Party hard and work hard to achieve the goals in life.

Say No and say Bye to emo devil. It's all mentality, it's about the way you think. When you're sad, just think and see things in another way, when you're on another view, you'll feel better.

No one will like someone who is emo, please be cheerful, always keep a smile on the face and light up the life of the ones around.

A post for today.

Frustrated. I'd put my effort in, sourcing, researching, trying to make it nice, make it safe but things gone wrong at the end. Silly. Always need to lose something before realising on things.

Learned to trust my instincts. Previous bad feelings was right.

Learned to be wise and critical.

I've learned and grew wiser =) Another experience in life.

Current daily life on weekdays. Uni 9-5pm working on a research project, Antibacterial effect of human serum on Klebsiella Pneumoniae.

Was boring for the first day, second day and third day. Looking forward to the days in the lab when I actually do something and learn. Time to learn some new stuff. =) Another experience in life

Although boring but first week on board with the team was pretty relaxing. I wished it's like that all the time. The team are nice people, second day-someone brought banana cake, third day-someone brought momo's (Nepalese dumplings),fourth day -played princess Uno during lunchtime and had afternoon tea nearby.

Two very different offices I get to work in.

Research science based office this summer. Account department of a construction company last summer. Current one, I hear terms like samples, test, filters, broth, concentration...scientific terms. Previous one, I heard a lot of paying, money, invoices, tax, gst. Am I prepared to hear the scientific terms for the rest of my working life ? lol. Do I fit into that category?

Hopefully, I will gain a better insight on research and get to narrow down my options.

Lastly, law of attraction. I believe in you, please work for me.

2010-10-29T01:41:00.004+11:00

In another weeks time, I will be having my first paper for this sem.

In another 17days, I will be done with all four papers, done with my second year in uni, and summer holidays begin.

I should be very happy to look forward for the holidays, just another two n half weeks of studies. However, im not feeling the excitement and happiness for the summer holidays at the moment even though it's three months of holidays.

This is due to the fact that I'm not entirely on holiday as I'm participating in either a research project or a summer program in a company, I'm expecting i'll be stressed on certain tasks I've to complete later on.

Sometimes, I wonder if all these are worthwhile, to participate in various activities/programs hoping for a better chance in future and sacrificing on others.

Am I overworking and neglected the things that cannot be picked up after it has pass, other more important things that have no point of return if we missed it?

To me, there are many more people that I want to treasure, they are in priority, it is impossible to foresee life or my future career, I shall focus and appreciate current things that lay right in front of my eyes.

There is always a need to balance. I should balance it right.

Time is really moving very quickly this year, roomie is graduating and going to leave =(

I will miss miss miss her so much, she has been like a sister to me, looking after me the younger one :)

She made me dance out of her boredom last night, not actual dance but gave me a good laugh =p

Have a look if u are interested =) who will be here next year in making the random things for laughs? D:

http://theuglydance.com/?v=uanxlnqern

Lastly, I need to control on two cases. I can do it if i think I can. Determination is all that I need. I will and I can control!

The girl used to be cheeky, happy, easy going and stress-free.

As she grows, she gets a higher view, seeing more of the world, she sees more things in life.

Different issues, scenarios around that do not just confined or involved the few people but many.

Things do not just end like a full stop but continues...

The more she knows, the more she's aware, the more cautious she is. The fear is developing.

Subconsciously, she limits herself, choosing not to be involved, choose to stay in her comfort zone and just stick to the old ordinary way of life.

That's probably the reasons, the girl is getting more reserved. The smile on her face lessened.

She knows that the journey in life is indeed not just on a smooth tar road.

She will learn one day, mentally and physically prepared, with the right attitude and skills, stepping out and walk through the slopes, hills, mountains, ocean.

Food is my love

2010-10-16T03:13:00.005+11:00

Exam is around the corner. I should start on my revision instead of baking, but I enjoy baking more, maybe I should have take up patisserie. My baking interest slowly develops since I came Melbourne, more or less is due to my dear roomie and cousin who have similar interest :)

On this friday --> Vanilla Cream puffs

Look at the ~~mountain~~ hill of cream puffs!! Bringing them to friendsgathering tomorrow.

Oh,cream puff, you are tempting, you are attractive, you are so gonna be gone soon!

The one overloaded with vanilla whipped cream. A sinful treat.

On this Monday --> Cherries cheesecake brownies.

Specially made for the special one.

See the resemblance to a character ?

On last friday ----> steamed egg cake 鸡蛋糕

Suppose to be spreaded with kaya. Substituted with jam instead.

The cake didn't turn out well, didn't rise much :( I miss the ones at Ipoh Oldtown Coffeeshop.

Spongebob dribbling bloody saliva ?

2010-09-26T22:32:00.004+10:00

Am I too rigid and inflexible?

I want to change to a better person so so much but I find it hard.

I want to move on but why is it so difficult.

People have move through this garden, went pass the dark tunnel and found the light through to the other garden. Why am I still wandering on this flat ground.

I've never thought this would happen, I always thought nothing will influence me so much and I can do if I have the determination.

However, things seems to be different.

I know I made the decision, I bear the consequences. What happening could be karma.

I'm silly, reserved, sensitive and traditional.

I've never been the kind that let the feelings show.

2010-09-11T01:12:00.006+10:00

Cupcakes, it's quite common for birthday celebration nowadays.

Firstly, it's pretty and cute =)

Secondly, it's easy to share (need not cut and crack your head how to divide your round cake for all)

Roomie and I baked this mini cupcakes for my cousin's birthday. The fondant letters are the hardwork of roomie, so pretty.

We really loved and enjoyed baking. So glad to meet you roomie =D

Always keep in mind our dream and plans alright, and we shall really look into it in the later years.

Enjoy the photos. Hopefully one day I can bake for you =)

The man and lady, but i know it loook more like a baby with winky eye and aunty.

When the last tear drops falls, I will stand tall.

But, when will it be the last tear drop.

Green pea cookie

2010-09-05T23:46:00.009+10:00

The CNY cookie. The CNY ambience. The CNY mood. The CNY gatherings. I'm missing all of them now. February seems far far away and long long to go. :(

CNY also means that I can be at home, with the ones I loved.

It's also the time my brain can rest everyday..heheee..the brain just have to work a little while gambling... hehehe

Back to the watak utama of the post 青豆饼.

Cookie balls ready to bake.

Tiiiing! Cookies done. Cracks all over that can't be fixed. Looks not good but taste good =)

Made three love shaped ones for myself and two housemates.

love them.

Random song

2010-09-05T01:07:00.008+10:00

那滑雪之旅启发了一个在生活里应有的精神。

我跌倒了，都得花不少力气再站起来，我已经很累，觉得好难把自己撑起，在那时侯我就想起，

如果跌倒了，就要自己爬起来，无论多艰难，多险阻，都要设法站起来，继续向前走。

跌倒了，没人可帮忙，只能靠自己，靠自己的一双手，一双脚，再爬起来。

如果不努力加油，就会停留在那，看他人一步步地前进。

我就紧记跌倒了一定要自己爬起来，一定要再站起来。

生活里有喜有悲，虽然在这时候悲，可是没关系，过了一阵子，开心的日子也会到。如果没有悲，也就不会察觉到快乐幸福的存在。

2010-08-28T23:20:00.003+10:00

有一种爱叫做放手，

有一种爱叫做拥有，

有一种爱叫做霸占，

有一种爱叫做同情。

事情就不是那么简单。

我在想可以一天不落泪吗？应该不可能，因为打瞌睡就会流泪，太开心笑时又落泪，还有再做某某事时也落泪，搞成别人常问我发生是么事。 =P

Yipeee, heading to Mt Buller tomorrow with roomie and friends. My first snow boarding trip =D

It's quite a high risk activity, but it is one of the risk that you must take at least once in life. God bless to all.

Down with a slight runny nose too. Hopefully it don't get worst, I don't want to spread the germss! Looking forward to Spring!

2010-08-25T01:03:00.005+10:00

I like to think.

Think of alternatives, think of the many possibilities, think and analyze the fact.

Thinking too much is definitely not a good habit.

Think too much, think unnecessarily, damaging so many of my brain cells, using so much of my energy.

I like to imagine and guess.

Imagine that this could be the one, that is merely a story.

After a period of time, I will wake up from my dream, I will finally realise the actual fact, it is not a story. It's just me who think too much, who put the facts into story. Heart will then sink to the lowest point.

This does not just happen once. It happened many many times. Disappointment always. I should not create hopes, should not think that there's hope, no hope no disappointment.

I think too much but in actual it is just what it is, simple and straight forward.

Dont know = Dont have to think = No hope = No disappointment.

2010-08-23T21:57:00.007+10:00

In need to talk to my mom, been some time since we have a long chat.

Yes, I can do it, let's finish up my work asap and then I can talk to her. =D

Mommy always says, she is applying the law of attraction to help me with this n that whenever I'm putting off her ideas or saying this and that will not work.

I must say I need to believe that law of attraction works.

Our mind control what we are going to get. Positive attracts positive. Negative attracts negative. This is not the same as ions and electrodes =P

I must be positive! Be confident on the power of positive thinking. Keep myself away from negative thoughts. Then my life will be better =D

The group I joined last year just had a muscial 'Crimson Spring'. One of the things that I like about the musical production is that the musical is not only for entertainment and amusement, every year's musical have theories reflecting the realities in life. Last year's musical 'The Puppets" telling people not to be a puppet that is tied down, not to be controlled by others.

This year's musical revolves around few themes of isolation, sacrifice, politics, desire and family.

There are some dialogues from the musical that I would like to share. Oh it's not dialogues, it's actually monologues, which was expressed by the main casts after the climax point.

事情不是你想像那么简单。 Things aren't as simple as you thought.

世上没有一生的事情。There's nothing that last forever.

如果我还是和以前一样，那不就一点成长都没有。

I will not grow and learn if I'm still the same person as before.

Okay, change of topic.

I'm feeling so dry these days. Dry lips, dry skin. I see flaky skin on my face.

Been trying to drink more water and yet still feeeling dry. Should put more more more moisturiser but I'm always lazy.

The emo devil please stay away from me!!

2010-08-22T22:07:00.003+10:00

Sometimes,

I want to say..but the words always not being delivered.

I want to do..but the actions always not being shown.

I belongs to a minority group of people, but I wished I can move out and enter another category.

True feelings or mere perception will ever continue to struggle.

Who can draw a line for me?

2010-08-05T21:40:00.001+10:00

Food again.

2010-07-24T01:23:00.002+10:00

My post is on food once again.

Food lover am I?? or dessert lover??

You can easily guess that's true from my size.

Fatt Koh (prosperity kuih) or Smiling cake - reason as a successful one smiles and opens up nicely =D

This is not the original Fatt Koh as what normal people will thought of in their minds. It's not white with pink strips, the original Fatt Koh, which is usually used for praying. The taste is different too.

I saw this Fatt Koh in a food blog which uses gula Melaka and looks interesting so i decided to try the recipe. Moreover, I like the gula Melaka.

Overall, I'm satisfied and happy with how the cake turned out in appearance, but taste wise, i still think that it can be more fragrant. Ammendments needed.

Childhood favourite food

2010-07-21T21:29:00.002+10:00

Lately, I'm browsing through food blogs in particular on the kuih category.

Being away from home and missing the relaxing moments on holidays back then or times when I was younger, motivates me a bit on starting DIY, cook/bake.

Well well, I craved for a lot a lot of local Malaysia snacks and kuih, but I want simple recipes.hehee. Thus, too complicated ones, crossed out, and finally made this Steamed white cake or '白糖糕'.

After making this, then I realised the ingredients is only rice flour,sugar,yeast,pandan leaves and oil. I remember my mom or dad used to buy them from the market and it will be sitting on the dining table for me as breakfast =D

Steamed rice cake attempt succeed!

Tomorrow, gula melaka 'fatt kohh'.

Photo of the day.

其实我也发觉我变了。

常常沉默不言，或不懂得如何表达和分享。与人的距离也越来越大。

有尝试改善自己，很想很想改变，也很想打开胸膛，倾诉有心事，可是最后还是全部保留在心里。我只是向他倾诉大事小事，这是为什么，我感谢他的存在与支持，可是我不想永远这样。

我何时才能打开心里这一个结？

就到此好了，中文不好，花了不少时间在这短短的几行字。 =P

好友们，谢谢你们的关怀，希望我能早日得到解药或钥匙把我心打开。 =D

2010-07-14T01:13:00.004+10:00

A few days left until my second semester starts.

Checked the timetable today and it is terrible. No off days, 9am everyday and end mostly at 4pm or 5pm.

Feeling very empty at the moment. Being around people for the past days and enjoyed very much. It's time to go home and get back into routine. Now I have the time to relax at home but I'm having so much in mind that pulling my mood down.

Attended a student conference in Hobart which was not so interesting but yet opened my eyes to the reality in life. I didnt enjoy the time of the whole conference sessions and had a slight regret on making the decision to go along with the group. Nevertheless, I'm happy to make some new friends, experience the super duper quiet Hobart town, and see the political minded side of people.

Just hardly able to express what I am feeling and what can change things.

The happy kid went away once again.

I know there's a time the happy kid will return and I hope the happy kid stays forever.

When will it be?

A happy kid.

2010-07-01T01:21:00.009+10:00

I’ve been having good times since the minute my exam ended.
Honestly feeling very good. Not the fact that I’m having fantastic activities is just the nice feeling where I have all the time to do anything I like to.

I had a good home cooked dinner at my uncle’s place yesterday. After that, just relaxed on the couch, watched tv, went online, then bed time. Simple but nice.

Today, spent some quality time with aunty in the morning and spent some productive time with roomie in the afternoon and spent some delicious time with housemates at night.

Uncle just got a new car and just lucky, he’s driving another car to work and so I got the chance to sit on this brand new car. Out of a sudden on the road, my aunty just asked, Are u brave enough for the cold, let’s pull over and get the roof open. Oh well, of course I’m totally excited about it. My first experience in a car with roof opened, other people would look at us like two mad ladies chilling themselves in the winter breeze..hehe.but it was a good fun experience, it was not too cold as the sun was shining brightly, just the stronger wind while we’re on the freeway and I had to put over my hoodie to give my head a little more protection. A time that you’ll also think - One day I shall get myself such a stylish and classic car.

Spring cleaning in the afternoon today.
Scrub-wipe-mop-vacumm-pack. Yeah, our bathroom and kitchen is sparkly clean now and the living room is tidier.

Had dinner with roomie at Ec-Pot after the hardwork. The after-dinner is much more that I’m excited about as Miss Jia decided to bake some egg tarts, we prepared the batter before dinner. I just love egg tarts so much and so looking forward to go home to bake after the dinner. I miss Simee’s market egg tart. The best egg tart in Ipoh I would say.

It’s so fun and nice cooking or baking together with my dear housemates. Tonight’s egg tart attempt was successful. =D We didn't have egg tart moulds, so we used muffin pans. We nicely kneaded the dough, rolled it out, added the fillings and we were so excited and kept on checking the tarts in the oven.

On last saturday night, I enjoyed my time very much too with my housemates. We were cooking vegetables curry pot and fried beehoon. The fun little things that happened throughout the process really made my day. Not to say more about the process over here but I really enjoyed myself and hope there are more of these days. It will be best if my exams are over then, and I would have joined the rest for the cookie baking session after dinner on that night.

Let's continue about egg tarts and let's the photos talk!

Miss Jia and I filling up the normal sized tarts and mni tarts ~mini ones with ice-cream scoop =P

Ready little mini egg tarts with the twinkle little star =D
The big ones! Starting to drool??heheee

Credits to my second cousin for all the photos below. She is one food critic, food photographer, the cook, the baker at home too.

Soft smooth centred fillings. Best served warm when it is freshly baked.

I bet you are drooling now!

Enjoy! Tata.

Hi Blogger :D

2010-06-29T15:23:00.005+10:00

Hooray!my winter break officially starts now. Hope I pass my exam with 'running' colours.
My exam schedule always spread out for like threeee weeks, and I'm being forced to be in the study mode for about a month, even my housemates said I'm studying like mad :P
I cant help with it, I cant just walk on the street shopping or chill around, but just have to sit in front of my desk and spend my precious time with my beloved notes..zzz..

Decided to resume blogging as I know you want to know more about things happening around me, and I would like to share my thoughts and feelings more over here. Without blogging and dai fei mooi who is offline most of the time, it seems that I disappeared from the world for the whole semester.

I had pretty hectic life for the past months. I've been working part time plus being involved in club and associations. A very different year as compared to last year where I just go to uni for classes and then have all the free time by myself, watch tv,online or to cook proper meals at home.
Yet busy, I dont want to complain much about it,as all these will be my uni experiences.

As for the part time job,the wages are not so attractive but I still enjoyed my time there most of the time. The kerja mates are all very friendly and the ambience in the restaurant is no other than a KL cafe, filled with all the Malaysian slangs larrrr. Of course u'll meet some blondes and brunettes and it's fun too trying to explain what is a roti canai, what is briyani rice, what is assam laksa, or what is ice kacang. Plus, I get to enjoy roti canai without paying $5 for one. =P
Unforgettable, unremovable scar I got from this place too. It will stay forever in my life. Oh well well, I can probaly tell some old grandmother stories to my grandchildren later on, saying that grandma didnt had an easy life but she work very hard during her teenage life.hehee.
Continue working??Shall try out retailing job if I'm lucky enough to get one.

Two weeks holiday from now on, stress free-yes, books free-yes.
I think it will be fully and wisely occupied. Soon to be 20 and I really dont want to waste the time in my life.

Life's brief candle.
Dear friends and family, please cherish every moment in your life.

2010-04-20T23:56:00.003+10:00

Promise cannot be broken.
I'm doing what I'd promised to the important one.
Dear friends, I'm pretty busy this year.
Definitely my days are always occupied, I'll feel so grateful when I have a one whole day free.

Second year of studies - tougher syllabus, more contact hours, more practical class hours.
Part time work - take up about 15 hours a week.
Club and activities - Parkville International student association and Chinses Music Group Melb Uni...the continuous general meetings, activities meetings,table duties, personal portfolio duties.

I noticed I spend quite a number of hours a day on internet too!
It's week 7 now and Im starting to worry on my studies, with all the other activities, I hardly spend time revising on lecture materials.

On top of that, family going to be in Melbourne for 3 weeks. They're arriving next week! Happy and excited!
At the same time feeeling stress........

My friends! I'm getting updates from you guys through fb....sorry I cant chat frequently on msn to catch up! I do still miss all of you and thinking of you!

xoxo

Really seriously last post =P

In less than 24 hours, it will be the brand new year 2010.
Year 2009 is coming to an end.....
I really really couldnt imagine how fast time fliessss.

I'm afraid of the new year, it's the first time I ever have this feeling.
I dont know how is it going to be for my year 2010.
What will happen and what I'm going to face with?

I do not want to grow up.

Last post

2009-12-30T17:24:00.002+11:00

Dear all,

This will be the last post.
After this, I will stop blogging until i really feel like doing so. =)
Today is 30th December, two more days to year 2010.
My 2009 year is not very exciting, interesting or happy.
Hope there's a better and greater year ahead for me and all of you!!

Malaysia! I'll go back in a few weeks time.
see you my beloved famly and friends =D
getting some summer tan in the huge oven now..hahaa.

Happy New Year ALL ~

Christmas =D

2009-12-22T20:44:00.005+11:00

Two days to Christmas. =D
You hear the christmas songs and jingles all around??
You see the nicely decorated christmas tree at shopping malls??

Over here, I didnt hear a lot christmas songs cz i hardly walk in shopping malls.. I mostly shop at the retail outlets along the streets.

The christmas ambiance here = SALES

All the shops are on sale now! It's really good bargains and I picked up a few as christmas presents..I'm waiting waiting for boxing day, for my own shopping XP I hope there are more more more discounts..hehehhe..
Another good thing over here during christmas is the gift wrapping service.
The sales girls wrap the gift so nicely and fast. No matter how many customers around, they still offer the service. Wrapping the item with nice wrapping papers and then put on a ribbon. I wish I could keep the presents as mine. hahaaha..

所以话人靠衣装, it is quite true.
Although the quote says, Do not judge a book by a cover..
But this is nature, the appearance will be the first impression to all, the first impression will be the impression that last the longest.

Wishing all my family and friends

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year 2010!

Oh..No, turning 20 sooon...sounds old and grown up.

Xmas 2008 ~ the girls =D

Some people are gifted. Some people are extraodinary. Some people are just normal.
Some people have the creative hands, some have the athlete body, some have the talented voice, some have the genius brain, some have the outstanding facial features.

Elina is a normal girl, grown up in a loving happy family.
She is in the adolescence stage and stepping into adulthood.
At this period of time, she sees many people of her generation starting to get some achievements in life.
She sees the transition in other people but couldn't see it on herself.

People are slowly, step by step hiking up the mountain.
However, she is moving around the foot of the mountain, not up.
She wants to move up as everyone else but she still yet to find the path.
When will Elina discover the path that brings her up?
Will she have the strength and ability to climb up to the peak?

The food

2009-12-11T22:19:00.003+11:00

I'm no longer a bread princess but now a muffin princess.

Addicted to it and loving muffins so much.

One in every alternate day!

Banana walnut muffin, coffee muffin, apple and cinnamon muffin, blueberries muffin, white chocolate muffin, chocolate muffin and chocolate chocolate chip muffin......and that's my favourite.

This is so so wrong.

I enjoyed the muffins, guilt after that, yet tempted to buy them another day. =(((

My number 4th attempt baking swiss roll...
.....and finally succeed!
It's not 100 marks but just merely passed =)
At least I got the right texture and able to roll and to spread it with cream.
Much much more improvements on the appearance and the taste.

Besides, I'm working on making a smooth, delectable, melt in your mouth egg custard =D

Practice makes perfect. Trial and error for many many times and I'm now getting the texture and again need to improve on the taste.

The aim is to make one to present to my papa.. *grin* He can cook all sorts of dishes but still have not master the skill of making one dish - smooth steamed eggs.

I need..

... someone to stop me from eating.
... someone to keep me occupied.
... someone to supervise my exercise routine.

... someone to be here, even if we're wasting time together,

two is better than one.
... someone to yell at me when I do something that my mind
tell me not to.

Appreciated Love

I'm currently following the dramas below =D

1st one Black & White, recommended by miss YY, totally nice.

It's different from usual idol taiwanese drama, it's about two cops (two handsome cops), the story line is quite unexpected, this keeps me going. Of course, the girls are pretty in this drama.

2nd one ~ Gossip girl season 3

Story is getting more and more complicated, more good ones in previous season turning bad.

I'm only up to episode 10, just have to wait till the next episode is up on the site that i visit....

can't wait....im checking it everyday!!

3rd one~ The realm of conscience

Well, you know which episode im up to??hahhaa.

embarassed to say I only watched the 1st episode..and the whole series is finishing sooon or it is already ended...lol

I'm usually not so updated = i'm outdated
so the time when the series finish = the time i will start XP

Favourite actors and actresses casting in this drama.

Interesting story and fights among the emperor's concubines.

It's December!!

The last month of the year, december is the happiest month for the majority.
Long school holiday for school kids...
Long semester break for most unis and colleges..
The month for vacations, the month of christmas =D
The month of the year end sale =D

Everyone wants holiday.
When you're having holiday, you will complain it's too boring, too lifeless.
Humans just cant satisfy themselves with anything they have.

In exactly 60days, I will be back to the taugeh land. =P
'ngar choy' - the vege that i dislike for 16 years i think, only like it alot this few years...and this goes with many other types of vege... =)
two months is not so soon neither very far away, time really fliessssss...
but one after another, more and more friends willl be heading back to msia..and i'll be the last..

Life now is not that interesting..
Work, eat, sleep that's what i do...
abit anti -social these days..
I always care about what other people think, what's my impression to them..
sometimes i wish i can read people's mind, but I also know that the more you know the worse you'll feel.....but if I dont know, i will just imagine myself....

Christmas is really soon. Santa claus is coming to town??
It's a very happy festival, the jingles, the decorations, all cheer up my mood.
But, when it's the time of picking xmas gift, it really pulls me down....
what should i get them??

till here for my kacang putih post...
let's continue to watch the Gossip girls xoxo

Hold up your glass and say Cheers

2009-11-17T23:07:00.004+11:00

There goes my first year uni. Finally it's all done, four weeks for the whole exam period really doesnt feel nice at all, a little torturing, when you want to enjoy but you cant fully enjoy.
Yes, I'm done now, you really cant imagine how fast time flies, i felt like i just came to this foreign place. Well, my first year life wasnt that interesting or exciting, I admit that I did not go out my way to socialise, but I'm not the nerdy type that stay at home all time for revisions and uni work..but what did I do during free time over the past months?? can't specifically recall but I just feel that I'm not really free to always hang out and go for parties.

Right after exam today, around 16 of us classmates went to Crown for dinner and then played a few games of the Laser War. It's my first time having a laser war game though, pretty fun but it's a bit pricey for the game to me. Basically we just run around and shoot each other, it's a nice game but I dont think it's worth the price. The game is something like paint ball, but no PAin, lol, and it's in a dark space not outdoor, I heard that some laser wall game actually will give a mild electrocution but there's none for this, it will be much more interesting..haha. After that, we had some drinks and that it is my after exam activity.
I just feel that the bond between the friends are not there yet, unlike last year, the sam clan had a strong bond just in less than a year, perhaps it's because we had classes together and we hang out also after classes as most of us lived in the hostels.

I wish the clock will stop tomorrow, so that roommate will stay *evil grin*, I'm soon to be the loner in the house, will be missing her laughing voice and her hyper jumps running out of the room telling me how cute is his korean guys. You will be free in 12 more hours! HOoray! Hoooray! Double hooray, you will be soon stepping back into Malaysia.

Three months holiday, such a long one, but only if only if only if.......then i will be very happy..
The list to do:
1. Gardening
2. Decorate my photo frame
3. Visiting
4. Plannings for my short 5weeks Malaysia holidays.
5. Work
6. Learn something
7.Discover something
8. .....
9. ....
10. ....

and for all relax, enjoy, be happy and be healthy.

Happpy holidays friends =)
Good luck for those sitting STPM!

The big day for the two special ones.

I'm been thinking about the moment when I'm back in malaysia.
Two more month plus to go, but it just pop up in my mind when Im revising.
Maybe because many of my friends are heading home soon, so it make me think of it tooooo.
Lots of plans...
Quality time in Ipoh..
Head baack to Inti..
Kl trip..
CNY preparations tooo..
I must really do some actual plannings this time, as everytime I've lots of plans in my mind but in the end cant make it to them..

Still remember the first sentence my dad said when I arrived and stepped out from the bus..'Fei mooi 返来了。' I'll make sure he will not say this again...hahaa..
miss him...

2009-11-01T02:28:00.002+11:00

one paper down!
it is harder than expected..not too good but it's over and i won't think of it.
three more to go..
just wish to get over all of them earlier faster, short term acute stress is better than long term mild stresss.
I just cant concentrate well in my revision this time..
mind keep being distracted or my eyes just shut off.
what happen to me ??
Syllabus aint easy but I felt so bored reading them..

miss home and the food back in malaysia sometimes.

the christmas deco and programmes here make me excited too..
The Myer window is going to start! 4 years ago me and my family went there together..
This year, friends perhaps. =)

tata.

2009-10-23T02:03:00.002+11:00

Exam exam and exams sooon.
This time is a lil different from in June,as that time I went back to Msia the day right after my last paper, while this time, I'm going to stay on for 2 more months.
The feeling is different but I still look forward to that where I can just relax and enjoy my holidays here. EAT~PLAY~WORK~SLEEP~EXERCISE

29DAys more for housemate to go back to her home sweet home, I can truely understand how it feels, so nice so nice, and of course in the mean time of preparing for exams, will have the hassle to plan of the souvenirs to bring back. Although it's sometimes troublesome, but when you think of the time seeing the significant ones back at home, the hassles are nothing.
Will surely miss you!

Well, I'm not as homesick as before, maybe i had the short break in msia in July.
I'm looking forward to enjoy my holidays here =) just faster faster get over with the exams.
Before this, i had some hope that someone, family or friends will be having a trip to visit during Dec, but don't think there is now. If my time is fully occupied, I will survive =)

I want new experiences and new routines.
Enjoy life!

2009-10-20T02:01:00.002+11:00

I like Australia with the warm sunny weather.

It's just so lively when the weather is nice.

People jogging, cycling, boardskating, roller skating, walking their dogsss...

Footy games on..

Mini group just sit on the grass playing music with their guitars..

People walk along the streets in city with sunnies..

I just love the environment and the lifestyle.....only if it's warm..haha..

These make up my day =)

28 degrees tomorrow! yeah!

2009-10-19T01:42:00.002+11:00

Finals is in 10days time.
I'm still slacking... still not worry not stress.
Falling asleep when i read, thinking to online when i study.
no no no, YI LEE, please get your mind into studies.
go away distractions and lazinesss...and i want a warmer weather!

What's my goal?

2009-10-14T17:27:00.004+11:00

This afternoon, my first time participating in a focus group research, there are 6 of us students and a facilitator from a marketing research company.
The main whole reason behind that pulled me in to volunteer in that thing is because of the free pizza and movie voucher! XP materialistic right......

Well, we just discussed about our current course, other course options and also the main aspect they're trying to look into is our view if there's a new double degree course of pharmacy and pharmaceutical science.

My other classmates there seem to have their goals and clearly know what they want to do and the reason they chose Monash, the reason they chose Pharmaceutical science over all other availbale options.

The questions we discussed really make me think again, why why and why...
Why I am in Monash....because there's not many other uni that offer pharmacy course in Melbourne...
Why I am in pharm.science, because quota full in pharmacy course.
I actually dont really have the clear mind that I want to do this course, I like chemistry alot? I want to focus in research and come up with new things? No, I'm not.
The rest in the group seems have their goals, they have their reasons why Monash, why this single degree or double degree course and some actually said the unit subjects also influence their choice.
Wow,I totally dont know what subjects I'm going to take before I enrol into this course.

Discussing about the double degree course, they are all firm that they will stay in the current course, they are sure what they want is to be a formulator, chemical engineer or researcher...
how about me..I actually do will consider of the double degree course comprising pharmacy and pharm.science as I'm indecisive and not sure what i want. I may want to be a pharmacist, may want to be the formulator...

Oh well, I know that i mentioned in previous post saying I'm not going to write for quite some time, but I just want to write something.hahaha..

"A formulator need to be curious, find out things that nobody knows and will experience a lot of disappointment as things always turn out not what is expected" this is said by a senior lecturer.

I really really doubt about my curiosity and the level of disappointment that I can take....

2009-10-11T02:10:00.003+11:00

Will stop blogging for some time unless I really have important things to update you all my dear friends.
Really lost the mood to write here already.
My life is good normal student life, outings and studying. Eating very well too and my previous effort is all gone, but hope to get back the motivation and achieve my goal by the dateline.
It always seems more outings and gatherings when the schedule is busier, when there are more assignments and when closer to exams.
Just trying hard to split my time well into both sides.
Glad that two more friends, dear Jian and Jun is here.... = more outings = more fun too!
Focus focus for another month plus and I can party crazy crazy crazily...

2009-10-03T03:00:00.002+10:00

Lazy to update my blog nowadays.
I just grew a year older, a year better? a better year ahead? Life still goes on as usual and much more exciting stuff awaiting, much more things for me to explore and experience. This is life, about growing up and growing old and we will get to see things in different perspective throughout our life period. =D

A memorable birthday for me this year too, a surprise party organised by the superwoman miss JiaYiing. Another surprise is that I received many birthday wishes through message from many long lost friends, thanks to all of you and also the ones behind the scene, miss YY and ray ma..heheee..

I do know many people are there for me, care about me and always there if I need any help and I'm grateful for all this. Thank you!

Presentation and debates waiting for me to reseach on, and the finals is in less than a month!
Cant wait for all this to over and I can have my super long break and relax...

Happy mooncake festival! Enjoy the delicious mooncakes but dont over eat. they are very very high in calories..hahaa..

2009-09-25T11:28:00.007+10:00

Too many happenings lately.

I always wonder if I didnt decide to come here at the very beginning of the year, things would be very different, things will be easier, not so many issues to care about, my life will be just study smart and play hard.

Well, there are the good side too, I'm exposed and forced to be on myself, learn and experience much more things in life.

It is a two way road and depends we want to go to which side, a side that we gain from all this life experience and develop into a better person, or a side that we develop into a person with just lesser feelings and moving further and further away from people.

Maybe i just think too much.

I'll thrive and move through my pathway.

Just some random photos here...

The gold coin chocolate~

Squash the dog into the bag when i moved.

Another new member of the dog group..haha.

Now here is my few camwhore photoss Xp

Able to guess what is that thingy im holding?

I'm thrilled by the lettuce which look like a bulb, a cone, a mic and a drumstick =P

my friday

2009-09-19T01:49:00.003+10:00

Mice dissection today! It's the second time doing dissection for me, the first one was frog dissection in high school and now is mice. Oh well, it's not totally dissecting of the frog because at that time I'm only using my eyes not my hands.haha..This time, I really did it, pretty fun and interesting practical.

The cute little white mice is just like Stuart Little, but still I have to cut it. The fur are soft and it was still warm, not sure whether the people kept it in a warm place or it is fresh (just died). Xp Anyway, pins, forceps, scissors all ready and here we go!!

Cut open the fur layer, then the inner epithelial layer, the organs are all organised nicely and clearly. Started by looking at the reproductive system!! It's a urogenital practical, dont think that we want to look at those parts in particular. XP My mice is a male and so we see the scrotum, prostate, penis, anus and bla bla bla bla. Later, we go on looking from bottom to top, the digestive part, the stomach, liver, intestines.......then the ribs, that's the worst part breaking up the ribs, and then dig out the heart hidden beneath the ribs..heheee.

Once again, it's a male mice --- we have to do a sperm count. We cut off the epididymis and squeezed the sperms out, then observe under microscope. Amazingly, the active sperms are all still swimming around actively, just like little tadpoles vibrating and moving. Mice have a tiny part near to the bladder that produce a kind of pheromone that attract the opposite sex too.
Dissecting is fun! Im not scared anymore..hehe...

Later in the afternoon, met up with cousins for lunch.
The two host of melbourne want to on diet but like hungry ghost, excuse is to introduce some nice food to the visitor, in the end ate extra super much Xp
Greek Lamb risotto, milk shakes, egg tart, and strawberry nutella pancake crepes with ice cream. Extremely full! After all that, I walked from flinders back home, a few km walk, then went swimming, to make myself feel better, but actually it doesnt make much difference, after swimming, cheesecake! Awesome cheesecake made by housemate that cannot resist by anyone =D

~ The girls ~
Had a great time with them =)

2009-09-16T23:54:00.002+10:00

Everytime I see a successful looking person with a moderate or luxury car, a few statements just pop in my mind.
I want to have a house, dont need to be a banglo, but a homy and cozy one.
I want to have a car.
I want to have my own property.
The best way I can think of or I think I will enjoy doing to achieve those is to own a business, a small cafe which sells coffee and sandwiches or a mini bakery. Why am i studying my course, that leading me to work under many other top directors of some company, hiding in the lab doing research and developments without notice by the people, and slowly slowly climb up the hierarchy IF capable. How many years will it take.
Actually Im just being lazy perhaps, want a simple life without much worries but also sufficient money to spend and have holidays, 嫁个有钱人吧！今晚发下梦吧。

Hate cleaning!

2009-09-14T17:20:00.002+10:00

My first experience in cleaning the bathroom.
It's the worst among every part of the house, or maybe the kitchen is the worst, but I didnt clean it.
I brushed every single tile with the little toothbrush, removing the stubborn stains and dirt, didnt even brush so well for my own teeth.
My teeth will be with me, work for me for the next 60 years!
On the other hand, i'm cleaning and brushing the bathroom tiles for the next tenant!
In my mind just keep on reminding myself, just do it, must do it, to get back the full bond.
Two and a half hours spent for the little bathroom, better pass for the final inspection!
Lesson learnt for the day - Must earn well in future in order to hire a maid to do cleaning, of course must reward the maid well, it's super hardwork. Xp
Mummy back at home, utmost gratitude to u cleaning the house for so so so many years, will get a maid for you couple of years later.. heheee..and let's gotong royong together next year before chinese new year..
tata..will now.. =)

2009-09-09T12:33:00.008+10:00

The black nokia doens't ring a lot.

It does not receive many calls.

It appreciates every incoming calls or message no matter it's a short or a long one, local or international.

The once in a while calls really shows how much you care.

We don't need to be in contact often, as long as we do have a define space in heart allocated for each other.

This is what true friends are, this is irreplaceable.

Essentials in life ~ family and true friends.

the Four seasons

2009-09-03T00:39:00.008+10:00

Nearing seven months I've been here in Melbourne.
Autumm, winter and now Spring. yeah..but not really spring weather yet.
Three more nights and two more days in this apartment. Major shifting on Sat.
I will surely miss my room, my bed that is side by side to the wall, the huge built in wardrobe and the huge huge huge mirror.
Although I didnt stay here as long as my both housemates, they stayed here for years and me only for months, but I do will be missing this place as they do.
Will miss the only 10 mins walk to city tooo.

let's have a look at the tree in different season.
The tree just outside my room window, I thought i could see the transitions thoughout the four seasons, but now I'm moving, will not be able to see how the leaves dry up by the HOt HOt sun in summer..

Spring time..flowers blooming =)

Winter ~ Botak trees all around.

Autumm..its so nice!

How amazing in life that a same tree can be so different in the three seasons.

Tada..my latest photo.

Cheers =) good night.

2009-08-30T21:14:00.003+10:00

Disappointed on myself for letting go this golden opportunity, not holding it tightly but slipped it off.
I know that it can make lots of changes, seriously a lot, for my parents, for myself and make many things easier, but i didn't do my best.
Character, personality, skills, luck? I ponder.
The to-do-list got to put aside until another chance appear.
Well, the sun is still there, when there is light, there is hope, things which are meant to be yours will be yours.
Life is not always going by your side and your way.

2009-08-24T20:49:00.006+10:00

You girls always stays, always be in my heart.

The day when we just starting to know each other...

....till the night we know each other more than what others do.

A very short clip of the three silly ones.

I miss the crazy nights in D1-25 more..but posting them, i will be dicekik..haha..

2009-08-24T20:25:00.004+10:00

Went to a self-musical production on saturday night - The Puppets.
Puppets are usually controlled by people, they are tied up with strings, they move when people want them to, they have no souls no choice.
Are human living as puppets? Are we controlling each other lives?
Do we move, take action or do something to please other people, to show other people, to be competitive?
Yes, it is all about interactions. In life we interact with each other, we fulfil other people needs and others will satisfy our needs too.

The moral of the story is not to be controlled by our desire, we dream and we go for our dream.
Desire is the little bad evil that pulls u down in doing what you really want beneath your heart.

As the population grows, the globalisation, the commercialisation, everything done is for the community, we do it because the world wants this. If you're not, you'll not fit in.
People nowadays tends to forget about what is the actual purpose of life, what actually we are going for, what is happiness, do we just live as normal just because everyone live the same or we step out and say it out loud I should be this instead of that....

Live to yourself, discover the hidden dream, move towards it. Stop being controlled.

What is my dream?? What I am here for??

I just want to be a girl to be loved.
My dream is to have an angel beside me whenever I need her.

When hit by miss EMO

2009-08-22T00:48:00.003+10:00

When hit by miss emo, the emo kids in unit 2/20 bake.
Each has their own problems, but we both just want to bake.
After a round of oreo cheesecake, here it comes the chocolate chip cookies.
Usually, I will not bake but sleep and eat.
This time, I bake and indulge.
Huge plate of Korean rice, chocolate pistachio baklava, oreo, oreo cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies all in a day.
Felt so bad and guilty after these but I’m still lazy to move, to exercise.

my oreo cheesecake which do not look very nice but taste ok.

Miss JiaYiing also cant resist baking and she decided to make cookies. Yummy yummy.

Miss Jia Yiing's man cute =D

The shapess =)

The shapes again which is shaped by me =)

There's mahjong '5 tong'

I'm so happy mouding them, and so happy when it is baked nicely. A little kiddo..haha..

Success in cake and in cookies. HAppy! just put aside the term calories in my brain at the moment.. Xp

On Satuday night

2009-08-16T01:18:00.004+10:00

A windy day, lucky not too cold weather.
The strong wind pushes me forward and also going against me.
Tomorrow will be a very windy day too with wind speed 40-60kmph.
A saturday night, so me and housemate went out for dinner, Crispy pork ( siuyok) rice..yumyummm..later we had our dessert..Fredo's Gelato! really enjoyed it!

The odd one is from my best sis.

The remaining two is from myself but all thanks to miss YY.

A random one taken after swimming.

I'm currently in job seeking mode, the managersss pls call me.

The lazy mode too..still having afternoon naps although im not sleepy. so so pig!
Feeling everyday of my life is so not productive.

Till here now. Goodnite again.

2009-08-12T02:46:00.003+10:00

it's late in the middle of night now. 2.47am.
A fight just happened right outside my apartment, I heard the noise but it didnt bother me or alert me of anything, I'm just inside my world, in the blogger. hehee..
Knock Knock knock! "YiLee, there's a fight outside!" my housemate alert me..
We both peeped through our balcony glass door. I cant see any punches happening but my housemate did witnessed the hitting and the eff word scolding part. SHe kepoh through her room window for quite some time it shows!!hehee..she'll read thiss...Xp
The efficient Victorian police came after 1-2mins. One by one, in total there are 6 police cars. It looks like some serious murder case just happened but it's just merely fight of a small group of people.
Me and housemate waiting to see something more interesting to happen but then not much to watch..haha..

Btw, Yes, finally we get a good reply from the property agent, me, cousin and miss JIaJia will be shifting to a new apartment, a more spacious area with front and backyard. Although my room will be smaller as well as my wardrobe, I will be nearer to my uni, which means further from the city too. =(
Oh well, there are always the pro and cons in everything. We shall just balance it and get the most of it. =)

Reporting the time again 3.00am. Time to bed. Time to dream.

The return

2009-08-12T02:01:00.004+10:00

Let me write something here. Xp
Dont have the feeling to write anything or update anything on blogger or facebook lately.
I'm so so slack and lazy. Slept at about 10pm for two nights!! and have afternoon naps too no matter how sufficient + over sleep i get from the previous night.
I dont feel sleepy, but yet dont feel like doing anything else, so will just lie on the bed and ........ there i go to pay a visit to "mr.Chow".

SOme baking moments with my dear housemate again. Oh well it's already past a few weeks till now i write about it.haha..
The japanese cheesecake!! Housemate wanted to get rid of her cheese sitting in the fridge and so we made this!
Awesome cheesecake! The first attempt!

Goodwork JiaYiing. =D

Homemade pizza. Its my first time making pizza too.The base was made by aunty. I did help in the process to make the pizza base too. My aunty actually place the pizza dough in front of the heater, hehe...so that the dough rise up faster. I witnessed the tripling volume of the dough after hours.Later, Me and housemate just add our favourite toppings on it. That's a easy one! xp

Haiwaian extra supreme??hehe..

tuna+chicken with nando's peri sauce+pineapple chunks

Tada, a post about food again..
Live to eat people!!
Have a great day =)

I'm losing my enthusiasm to study again, enjoyed too much in the past few weeks. =(
I'm so reluctant to move, so reluctant to use my brain and complete the worksheets.
Felt so sleepy while reading the lecture notes.
Second semester syllabus is harder than before, in most lectures i cant get what is being taught and what are the main points that we are suppose to know.
The dollars keep on increasing in value, why????
i need a part time job. I need to allocate my timetable well. I need to motivate myself that's the most important thing, or else i will not be able to cope.
One more thing, I need to be determine in my plan too.
off to bed now, instead of wasting time doing nothing here.
nitenite.

mixed vege-thai style beancurd-fried fish

I cooked once dinner too for my family, with the assistant mr.ng.hehe..was very fun cooking especially with him. although sweating alot and alot cooking in malaysia.hehe..in melb, i put my hands above the hot pots to warm up my hands..the first trial cooking back at home was moderate only. actually im not satisfied with it. i need more practice.

Szechuan french beans-steamed chicken-fried onion eggs-

This best dish of the night.haha..

Penang food-'oh jien'

I only eat the eggs. xp

The fritters stall. U can see it along the road while driving up to BAtu Ferringhi.

My family always stop to buy a mixture of them and we will enjoy it in the hotel.

THe banana fritters are lovely,they are special and the batter used is different from usual ones. of course it cost more tooo, one banana is 90cents i think, and there are fried sweet potatoes, yam and others.

Back to Ipoh, the 100 Yen shop which sells this snowflake now. Seekee brought me there and also belanja the two bowls of snowflakes.There are about 8 varieties.we had this greentea with some red bean on top and the mango with some real mango fruit on top too.

TGI fridays during the penang trip. my dear sis miss out again.haha..but she actually tried before this few dishes that we ordered.

-The Mac and cheese-

the fav- creamy sauce pasta with chicken. its really creamy and cheesy and that's the reason its so nice.

some sizzling chicken with cheese and mash potato.

the desert-snickers and tropical flavour.

The ice kacang that is my super fav. Tong sui kai stall which is the best ice kacang i had in ipoh. The finest ice and of course there are lots of toppings too. Looks colourful and nice too isnt??

Curry chicken- yummy

I had lots lots lots of curry and spicy food too during the trip.

homecook curry chicken-roticanai sponsored by mr.ng and cucumbers for cooling effect.

i will definitely miss roti canai and naan.

are those enough to make ur saliva drop?? hehe

I am missing my home, my ipoh town and my holidays.

back to the road

2009-07-24T02:20:00.002+10:00

Three weeks just gone and I’m back in Melbourne, the busy city where I live in the past few months.
The place where drastic changes occurred.
The place where I’m forced to learn and forced to be on myself.
The place where I feel about live differently and do things that I will never do back in Malaysia.

My laptop gave me a welcoming present by taking away my internet connection on the very first day I’m back at melb home. Tried hours and hours, getting help from others and still not able to get the connection. Living without the internet is terrible. On top with the serious homesickness and calling card used up. Two days gone and finally sent it to the ‘Dr.’, costs me $70 dollars to reinstall the Vista to fix the problem but I still don’t know what’s the problem + rm 40 to reformat in ipoh. Now, internet connection solved, printer unable to install, unable to print all the notes and tutorial sheet. hope to get it fix soon.

The first week of my second sem, without any lecture notes in hand and giving excuse that its just the first week, just relax and enjoy my time. Hehee..although lectures already started as usual. Sleepovers, shopping with friends and spending some time with relatives for the remaining week.

Will post about the ‘cuti-cuti Malaysia’ soon. =) The greatest time I had although I just moved around in Ipoh and a few days in Penang.

2009-07-03T15:44:00.000+10:00

It’s so nice.
Waking up in the morning in this familiar place, warm and cozy.
Egg tarts and a plate of fritters mixture on the dining table.
A bowl of hot red bean soup, enriched with sago and glutinous rice balls.
Beloved papa prepared all this in the early morning. =)
I like my life. The way being loved and taken care.
It’s the life I had the few months in last Dec and Jan.
It’s very unproductive and boring at times, but I miss those times.
Lucky, I get to taste the ‘King of Fruits’ too on my first day back home. XP Delicious.
Spent some time with friends, celebrating mr.Renyu ‘15th’ big birthday, crazi-ing and laughing, basically we moved around every corner of the room..haha…if there’s loud and RnB musics, then………lol..
Lovin it. Time please stop!

Glowing face =)

2009-07-01T01:06:00.001+10:00

Dung Dung Dung Dung,
Cant wait…the airport atmosphere, the announcements that u can hear in every few minutes, the people you’ll see in airport, depart or arrive.
Been a frequent visitor of KLIA last year, most of the time was around the departure hall, get to look at people that are sending farewell wishes, some reluctant to go down the escalator, some happily walk into the gate, different kind of moods and gesture u can observe. Looking at them, I always wonder if I’m the person leaving, how will it be, experienced it few months ago.. =(

Just look forward now!!
*Teng Teng*
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, My name is XXX, ur co-pilot, our flight MH 148 will be heading to KUL, estimated arriving time will be 2110………………
Have a pleasant flight with Malaysian Airlines.

Yipppieee..Going on the plane again! Something to cheer but not sorrow..
Moment I long loooong awaited is sooon soooon here..
Although it’s abit different at this time, people will be scared of all students from melb.
I will need to put on the mask throughout the journey :(
Please bless me and shield me from all the nasty virus.

July is coming =D

2009-06-29T13:51:00.004+10:00

The sixth month of the year is going to the end, which means my first semester is going to end too.
24 hours countdown to the commence of the last paper. Yayy..
48 hours countdown to the time when the plane depart. Yayy yayy..
Less than 24 hours, housemate is gonna leave to Adelaide, hooray for u too! XD I will miss u.
Housemate is packing, I am revising. Just can't wait to get over the MATHss paper which was allocated in this so so so late date..

The delectable Monday big breakfast, prepared by lovely housemate. Simple but yet tasty, especially the pound cake. It's just usual sausages and eggs but the colour combination and the varieties nicely put on the plate just make me feel so happy.
Not forgetting the healthy and nutritious herbal chicken soup noodle for the Sunday's night dinner. so Yea, we still can get nutrition even we are not at home. Parents back at home, dont need to worry with my meals, I do have all the nutrition I need and maybe more than enough. XP

Lol.the chocolates which were supposed to be in the suitcase, end up being in my stomach now.

It's not that I'm tempted to eat it, it's because my luggage weight is limited, so this box was pick out. Xp

Well well, back to studies now. =)

mood Swing

2009-06-27T22:13:00.002+10:00

Where’s the motivation to study for the last paper?
Why always day dream.
Always stoned, always stick yourself to the bed, always sourcing food.
Complicated mood.
Some time to relax, some time to pack, some time to study. But I’m just sitting in front of the desk not doing anything most of the time.
I’m wasting a lot of time, just don’t feel like doing anything.

"Time is like river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow has passed will never pass again. "

Falling sick while u are out there alone is really not good.
Luckily I still have someone, someone here to make sure I’m warm, make sure I get all that I need to recover asap. Thank You. :)
When close ones are not around, falling sick is the worst moment.
It's saturday night, I should be happy because just a few more days I'll be back at my best home.
Complicated.............swinging and swinging.

xx virus xx

2009-06-23T01:01:00.005+10:00

SOme people are relieved, some people are going to.. but I'm still hanging on..
One more week to go.. Two more subjects to cramp into my brain.
My long awaiting trip back home is coming sooon, but besides the usual excitement, I'm worried.
The super duper high rates of swine flu cases in this city...gossshh..and most of the people back from melbourne were identified as carrying the virus..
I dont want to be quarantine for 7days. Flu please stay away from me, viruses or microorganisms please dont approach me.
Today, sitting in the exam hall, hearing people whooping, coughing and tiny little germs will be scattered all around,so scary. :(
All I wish now is to stay healthy, byebye flu and cough, then have a smooth trip back.
Can't wait for the break, can't wait for exams to over.

2009-06-11T02:13:00.002+10:00

Good Luck to You! Good luck to Me.
The sooner it's over, the merrier it will be.

2009-06-09T01:37:00.002+10:00

Another emo post.
i think someone will check whether i have a new post. if u really did, yes im blogging again.
I do not get the happiness feeling I had before.
How come its so miserable.
I enjoyed and I had fun at times tooo, but mostly is the other way round.
I'm pleasured to have many relatives here. The time I spent with them are good. Free mind and relax. Well taken care of and feeel more homey..
I'm pleasured to have a good housemate, similar hobbies =), always here and reduce my loneliness and fear.
I'm pleasured too to have the close friend here, although not always meet up but I know she is there, I know I have someone there for me.
On top of all these, a lot a lot a lot of other things are gone, I couldn't find them.
when will it be to get it back......
so emotional nowadays, i apologize.

A really good Sunday i had with the friends, shopping and eating, laughing and teasing, walking and enjoying gelati beside the road.
We dont have huge parties or anything but just simple things to do with the friends are good.
It would be nice if the friends are here always, but in life, things always do not turn out what u wish.
life is challenging, complicated, unpredictable.
the skies are dark and showers everyday.

timing

2009-06-07T01:36:00.005+10:00

i should study.
Take the chance to study, but I'm online.
Already set to be on internet.
I dont speak according to my heart.
I would like the best for others.
I want but i dont speak out and ask for it, its my weakness.
Indecisive, its my weakness.
Not tough, not firm, always go by what others say, always let other people decide and pick, its my weakness.

'WHat u feel like eating today?'
Hmm..anything will do.

' Western or chinese? '
western.

In restaurant, browsing through the menus.
' Do you have something on ur mind already?'
hmmm..not sure pasta or foccacia.

A few minutes passed, still undecided.
' Cant make up ur mind yet? Let me pick for u. U take seafood.?'
okok..ya anything.

Basic ordering skills only, I'm so indecisive.
Always just go by the wind, how to be a leader, how to be successful.

WEll, Timing and the picking on menu thingy has no link. just thought of the major weakness of mine.

Understand someone well? good and bad. know what he thinks. know what he will do.
understand me someone? i would think its good. to know what i feel.

season changed.

2009-06-02T00:42:00.004+10:00

Its already winter now. Time flies.
I hate the cold. Make me feel so lazy. I have no moood to study and my mind are not working well.
Notes are not going in. Just always day dream.
Looked through the past year paper and the questions are so not direct.
I cant answer them :(

The beautiful brightly coloured tree outside my window turn into the ugly dried branches. the weather, the scenery make people feel down.
This is the changes of treee..let's seeee beloww...

this is YiLee during end of summer and beginnnig of winter. I've been here for the whole autumm season without realising the time passed.
Huge changes that will shock everyone when u see me :(

i want to run away from exam..........

2009-05-31T02:39:00.004+10:00

I wear the pain mask. from the quiz result in fb.
"For some reason or another you just can't seem to find a positive outlook on life.
You get angry when people try to relate with how you feel, because you're convinced they won't understand.
Deep down you know there should be a million reasons for people to want to get to know you, but you often find yourself closing yourself off from those around you.
You have your select friends, but can't help but want something more.
You find opening up difficult, but you do find your ways to let things out.
You have your good days, but even through the good times, you feel like there is always going to be those feelings that don't sit right.."

I think I've changed since i'm here. I've changed after I enrolled into college. I've changed again after enrolled into uni. My life changed a lot for this uni transition. Change in which direction?? I know it deep inside my heart.
Life is all about growing up and changes are definite.
But to cope with changes its another issue.
Some may adapt well but some may not.
Some may grow well but some may not.
Some may gain alot but some will lose.
Some turn into a better person but some do not.
How to make sure all go into the right way..?
Nobody can help but just myself.

One more test and one more quiz to go for my first sememster module.
Two weeks countdown to the exams which will hold on for 3weeks.
Having nothing in mind and memory cells arent working so well.
The day I'm looking forward will be 1st July.
The day to break off from hectic studies and busy life.
The night to see the happy faces. The night to cuddle the ones i love.
and then......I'll get lots of 'compliments' for having a good enjoying life over here. EAT well and sleep well. =P

Yes right now i wish i wish and i wish. I have lots of wishes.
Work hard for my wishes.

The friday morning with heavy fog..
Hardly can see the cars and roads clearly even its just 50metres away.
Guess the temperature that time..?
I'm not sure either..but my clothings kept me warm.
Hop on to the tram and headed to uni.

-Foggy foggy morning-

Friday uni started with the long project management tute, the complicated Gantt Chart and the time consuming project planning documentations.

Then, lunch with few mates and here comes the interesting Exercise Prac.

We actually work out and exercise for this prac, sounds cool rite..Beep test, Walk test, Cycle test, push ups, biceps all in this prac.

It's quite fun as compared to the usual prac of answering questions or dealing with chemicals and test tubes. However, this prac come with an assignment questions that need a answer of 300-500words. :(

BP being measured before all exercise.. that's my arm.haha..

Quite Normal 110/70 mm Hg

So I did the walking and push upss.. My face blush and hot like chilli after push ups.. =P

I wanted to do the cycle test too but running out of time.

Later i did the bicep curls till exhaustion tooo...and my BP is 130/30....wooooo..such a huge range which means my pulse after doing the biceps is 100bpm...!!

Interesting prac as we got to measure heart rate and blood pressure and sort of calculate how much oxygen my heart pump each min.

My first experience using the sphygmomanometer too (the inflatable cuff with the pressure gauge thingy). Always see the nurses do that on patients professionally, now i got to use it..hehe..Quite simple actually.

Here am i taking her BP reading!

That's all at the moment.

Good night.

2009-05-22T12:46:00.002+10:00

Wish I can sleep through the whole of next weeek.
Wish that after my sleep,all work are done.
Wish to run away from all the compulsory stupid stuff.
Wish to delete them , day 27th and 29th !!!!!
Wish that someone's soul can come to me and do the tasks.
Wish someone could give me a hand and give me a brilliant brain.
Wish all my wishes come true!

will be in dream world. =(

2009-05-18T00:21:00.000+10:00

Heart within a Kiwi.

Love is all around. Waiting for yourself to explore.

Only people who treasure love will realise its presence.

Care for your loved ones and show that you care.

A small little action has a great effect.

A small gift or a few words may cheer up a person.

Enjoy and appreciate the things we have by complaining less.

A smile a day keep the wrinkles away! =P

or find more love in kiwi..hehe..

another week gone

2009-05-02T11:50:00.004+10:00

Next week will be week 9 in uni..
time flies in studies..but its so slow until the day for me to head back to msia.
Just got back from yy hse and my housemate right away said I look so tired..Ohhh.my zombie loook now...not because of late night studying but is leisuring around.
Seriously, I become so lazy since I came here. No enthusiasm to study.
Dont feel like blogging either.
Back to the room, time to do the work that i supposed, presentation next, quizzes next, Project management and SEM 1 EXAM.
Most of us there are not management type so we're in science course...but we need to finish up a complete plan for a project in 4 weeks time...I know its beneficial for us..but the time is just not right..probably they should do this in the beginning of sem not end of sem where all quizzes,exam and assignments are cmoing up.
Ok.that's it for all my complaining.
Here I'm going to VicMart and get some groceries. Mind free for some time from studies..

2009-04-24T00:57:00.002+10:00

Realised that i'm moody and emotional this few days.
Very tired for the week...I need more rest and sleep to get my mood back.
Too many happenings around tooo.
Thoughts are coming up in my mind...
I felt lucky and the happiness that I have now but yet I still feel i lack of something. perhaps im greedy.
Go away my moodi-ness...
I need to be motivated to work hard and not postponing all the tasks i need to do..

2009-04-18T00:55:00.002+10:00

Humans generally dont speak to their heart.
Why always 口是心非, especially girls.
My holidays is going to end. Don't like it. Need more rest.
My next week timetable is so full. Next weekend fully occupied too.
Need alot alot of time to catch up with all my work.
Wants get a job too. Wants to do everything.

2009-04-15T00:52:00.003+10:00

Mid semester break or the easter break is here finally.
Had a short trip to Adelaide and now back into this busy Melbourne city.
Now I'm here in front of the desk full with pile of work awaiting me to complete.
Quizes, presentation, debate, tutorials and practical questions all coming up soon.
Felt so good in the past few days, not just because me being in Adelaide holidaying, but also because that I'm away, mind free and relax.
WIsh that i could go away again..but there will be no end if keep on procrastinating.
Arrghh...break that is not like a break for some rest.

Will update bout the trip later...its very nice and I enjoyed it so much.

the 3days two nights camp

2009-04-09T00:05:00.004+10:00

Last weekend I joined the boot camp organise by one of the club in uni..it's totally not a boot camp...more like a drinking camp and far away different from camps in msia..first thing that i observed is most people getting up on the bus dressed up and with make ups..
Joining this camp is an eye opener for me, they play very crazily and wild. MOst of the people there are abc's too..

First, we are divided into groups with differnt colours and we were suppose to create our own group names..most of the group names are sexual related...Team erection,Yellow asian,Kiss my grass, The sea-men, Dragonballs, and for my pink group - Counter Titties!

-My friendly group leader with the flag! -

The camp activities are mostly games competing among groups..quite a few interesting games and also some crazy games..there's one that we hold a lemon with our neck and then pass to the next person without hands..

This is the water drinking game..there's 5 jugs of water for each group and the groups who drink the fastest wins...add on the water are cold..its naturally cold though..u can feel the coldness down ur stomach through the oesophagus...besides that, there are too many groups, so its divided into 3 rounds..n winnner for each round will need to DRINK again..its a good hydration treatment but anyone drinking more than 6L will die! thank god no one fainted..

The first night its the beginning of drinking gamess (alcohol), its my first time drinking beer or vodka fast at once, luckily I didnt knocked out too..hehe..Guys will drink the beer and girls will drink vodka, two jugs..right after consuming alcohol there's this crazy eating game..4 person from each group will need to suffer...one will hav to eat half an onion (aussie onion) which is stil very huge, one will hav to eat the whole lemon with skin, the acidic lemon will burn so badly in ur mouth n throat..third person is to drink a cup of mix sauces with spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, mustard, egg yolks, Bbq sauce, oil and sandwich pieces...ewww..the last person is slight better just weetbix with wasabi...onion n lemon eating is the most drastic ones...people crying while eating the onion and vomitting while chewing the lemon...arrghh..and somemore its so bad for the stomach, consuming all this right after alchol...after eating game there's another round of drinking game which is the boat race...more alcohol consumed...

-Lemon-

-onion-

This is another v chigek one..they use a plank of wood with holes and hang the tubes down..there's a valve at the end of the tube where the person can control it just like a burette!

VOdka is filled into the tube and once the valve is open, the drink will just rushed down the throat due to the pressure..u can finish the whole can of vodka in a few seconds..young teens always curious and love adventurous stuff..many people just take turns to experience ths tube thingy..some chocked but some did fairly well..

Second night, it's a themed dinner night, I thought there will be some activities or games..but actually its just dancing whole night..the theme is uniform or mainly army..people dress up like army troops and here we go...dancing armyss just like in a club..with the lightnings and bass music.

- Beatrice and me-

I have no army uniformss..but at least I have a gun..something related to the theme larr..haha..

SO, this is sort of the things we did in the camp.

I would say that it willbe more fun if there are more friends going along and with a smaller group of campers...

exposed to lots of swearing in that three days too from both boys and girls...
A good experience for me to see the how aussies camp are..but not as fun as I thought.

THere's lots of drinking in Uni!

pharmaceutical scientist??

2009-04-02T23:16:00.002+11:00

There's two events held on monday and tues for my course..
Monday is the Cheese and wine night where some companies directors, ex students, lecturers were invited and socialise with the students...
The aim was to let the students know more about their future path....
It's a great opportunity to ask Q, socialise and meet this major people in this field.
The finger food on that night was quite nice...and of course I had a glass of red wine too!
There are some who work in formulation of cosmetic, some for paint, some medicine and so on......
I'm interested in the cosmetic, perfume and FOOD..=) Happy that I gained some idea on the things i can do with the things im studying..

On tuesday, it was the visit to an industry called 'Ego Pharmaceutical', this company basically make skin products and match with my interest...
It's a huge company that produce many products...
we were given a brief talk about the historyof the company, their international business, their organisation and so on....
It's actually a family business, the speaker who is the managing director, his father is a chemist, mother a nurse and the grandfather who is the founder is a dermatologist.. what a good combination.,haha...

Later, we tour around the company,
visited the labs for testing, formulating.....
visited the manufacturing and packinging place...
visited the warehouse where all the stocks kept to be shipped out and so on....

It's very interesting looking at the product like moisturiser to be made and filled into tubes and then package into boxes... but do i like to work in lab testing the products or doing research for new products??? I'm still unsure...I dont want my everyday life dealing with the chemicals, everyday putting on the gloves and safety glasses, and everyday holding testtubes, burettes, piptettes....
Even for the practicals I'm having now..i find it so troublesome that we need to rinse the tube 3times, fill this..then wipe...then clean...then repeat..then calculate the errors..tabulate datasss...
I would love to make new alternative things that benefits society...but think is always easier till actual work....haha...
Hope I'm not in the wrong path...

Well, at the end of the tour, each of us get a show bag and served with tea and my fav TImTams...haha...get lots of their products such as conditoner, shampoo, sunscreen, antiseptic cream..importantly, they are not in small little sample size, but its the actual size in the market..
Besides those they also manufacture cleansers, moisturiser, baby lotion, tanning lotion, anti ageingstuff and so so many more....all that deal with skin!
another good and beneficial trip that let me have an idea on my possible working environment in future.

I'm going to a camp tomorrow at Mornington! ot as excited compared towhen i sign up..hope it will be fun! =)

Melbourne GrandPrix

2009-04-02T22:45:00.000+11:00

Last Saturday went along with aunty, uncle and cousins to Albert Park for the F1 qualifying round. It was my first time watching grandprix on live..though its just qualifying round and not final but it is a good experience...
Actually, i have no interest in formula 1..haha..even when it's shown on TV, i will just switch to other channels...I just followed relatives to have a feeling of the actual race. It was good!

The crowd~

Me with my pakpak n pakleong~

It's so crowded and hot. The hot glaring sun burning my legs even covered with a layer of cloth. Its so hot but i still put on my jacket.haha...wish that my arms dont get anymore darker..but later after a while, i also cant stand it and got to take off..

The sound of the high velocity cars are great...very loud that we need to put on ear plugs...

This is some car racing before the F1..watching on live is nice with the sound effect but not as good view as on TV...it just move so so fast....

By the end of the race, I dont know who won too! =P

After watching news on tv later at night, I found out the 1st place was to Jansen Button from Brawn GP, he's also the winner in finalss.

Baking time

2009-03-27T01:06:00.005+11:00

My blog is being neglected again..I wanted to blog days ago.but the line was not so good..
This post was supposed to be up few weeks ago..haha.

My dear housemate loves to bake so do I..
She was attracted by the colourful fruit tart photo from a recipe and so she's inspired to make one by herself too..
I was free on that day...so we both sama-sama made the fruit tart..

BOth of us are first timers making any kind of tarts...
The fruit tart did not turn out of what it was supposed and expected to be..
This is the 1st one..still looks alright....
While we were baking the crust base..the smell was so nice...but got to resist and wait till the whole thing forms...here is it!
Immediately, we cut a small piece and try...not bad..i love the crust..

The custard cream actually did not form as it is supposed to be...its too watery..and it leak out from the bottom of the tart...so tak boleh d...
Can see that the fruits are like floating in the custard cream..hehe..
Later on, new ideas came in...and we change the filling of the tart.........to chocolate! everyone will love it, CHocoLate..haha...

this is it, taste better, but not the ideal one..

SMILEY of the DAy!

Keep a smile on ur face everyday =)

All along the path I walked today

2009-03-26T00:58:00.004+11:00

Today I saw an aeroplane which was going to land as it's moving downwards while I was walking to uni.
I felt abit miserable, wondering when will be the day that I am on the plane which will land on KLIA.
Not excited to land on Tulamarine Airport but on KLIA.
I'm excited to be here four years ago while travelling with family but it seems different now.

I usually listen to songs from my phone while walking to uni too.
When the song 你不在 was played in my playlist, my friend, KC, came into my mind.
I thought of the time when he sang this song in Kbox..
The one always with funny facial expression and high pitch singing voice...
Ohhh..I miss my buddies..

Many more days and night here before I can lie on my comfy bed at home.. :(
Enjoying life here?? Like the place and life here but wish to have and be with the people in msia.

2009-03-21T00:38:00.004+11:00

2009-03-20T00:29:00.003+11:00

Quite a happy day on the 19th March..just a lil moody when at night...but it's all over now.. =)
I've been here one month and a day..
Still missing msia family and friends so much..
Still missing the happy memories I had..
with my closest family, with the Ipoh buddies, with the cheeerleaderss and the sam Clan..
They are all irreplaceable! I wish that they are here...

In a new environment and a new life and need to make new friends..
I'm not a v sociable person and it wil take me sometime to get close to new people..
will just try to join more activities to know more people...
Activities coming sooon :
bowling on tues nite, cheese & wine night with the industry people the week following next, visit to ego pharmaceutical and lastly the Asean boot camp!

One thing that I like it here is the diversity of people..
korean,chinese,hongkies,taiwanese,japanese,vietnamese,indonesians and of coz aussies...
quite intereesting to know people from other country n get to know some of their cultures..
recently, I get to know that koreans always bow to their elders, even he is just 1 yr older..they're so polite...n they bow up to 90 degrees..haha..

about the weather, I like it cooling and when its abit warm, like in genting highlands..hehe..but when its cold..i will miss the warm breeze in msia...

I dont reali like the lectures here..its quite brief and need to do alot of self studies..
I still into the way taught in my pre-U where lecturers will give u lots of practice questions n make sure we understand..
miss Ms Sulkhveer,Ms Bianca,Ms Cordelia, Ms Prema,Ms Betty n funny Mr Wong..the great lecturers who hang out and play with the students!

at times, i will think that if Im studying in Monash KL, it will be more fun...
hmm..maybe I'l find it more interesting studying here later in days..
but Im sure working here its far more better than in msia....easy working life..
people work from 8am til 5pm...in banks prob 9am to 4.30pm..so great...

When I'm at relatives comfy homess..it really feel great..well taken care of..haha..
Well, I shall not regret too much on choosing this pathway..i will certainly be here for 3 years..
I stillneed some time to cope with it, studying and living here all by myself..its aint easy..

TOday my housemate birthdaytoo..made a card for her and will be baking brownies too..=)
Hope she'll like it..

"As we go on, we remember all the times we had together,

And as our life change, come whatever, we will still be FRienDs forever."

2009-03-06T01:29:00.002+11:00

Its the end of my 1st weeek lectures..
Hmm..so far still alright..no assignments yet..
Some old and some new syllablus are being taught..
At the beginning of every lecture, they will said 'Start revison from WEEK 1!'.
Lectures pace are quite fast and brief...really need to do some self-learning at home..
Besides, there will be debate and presentation for Physiology in mid semester!! OHh, I dont know what to do with that..not into debate at all..!!

A capture of myself wheen I was walking back from uni...getting dark day by day as there are so much walking.. =(
But i tend to miss the SUN when it's so cold this few days...
I just tram home rather walking...the wind are so coooldd..
Seems its only the beginning of autumm now...i dont know how to tahan when it gets colder..

Below is the apartment I'm currently staying with two other m'sians..and i'm learning to cook..That's the window of my room too, the upper one!! hehe..

This taken at the Melb Observation deck, nice view being high up..can look at the whole city of Melb..

That's all now...

Tomorrow no lectures and I'm going to spend my weekend at aunty's place..happy =D

Stepping into the uni life

2009-03-01T20:28:00.003+11:00

Tomorrow, the first day of lecture in an unfamiliar place with the unfamiliar people and the unfamiliar contents...
Luckily I went for the orientation and slightly knowing a few people in my course, but the 'ganjeong-ness' is still there..
The peers looks so hardworking and well planned people, they printed out the notes, go through the notes and find out the groups of tutorials and practicals..
But for me I just dont know anything..so much self learning here...
Last year, we just have fun and play until we feeel like going to bed, late night yumchass, gatheringss and parties on campus..
After a few hours of sleep then we just go to class with the books or given notes..I like those!!
Unfortunately I think the uni life is different, it's in a higher level and all depends on ourselves, you need to have the desire to learn or u will not get anything.
Well, I shall not think too much bout it..and just experience the lectures.. ( at a fast pace??)

Aussie life is really quite quiet at night, especially not staying in the city...
The chilly cold night also pull me down to stay at home than going out..
I really miss the life back then...
we walked along the streets at midnites 1am..singing songs out loud with my fellow friends..
we do whatever crazy things we thought of..
we stayed up the whole night for the great major events..not feeling tired with wholebunch of friends..
i really miss the life so much..
miss my family...miss my dar..miss my friends...

2009-02-19T23:53:00.003+11:00

Happy Anniversary To the only YOU!!

Although we are distance apart..it's still alright and try to cope..
At least we had a nice and happy valentine's day..hehe..
Good night everyone..time for me to gao gao!
