No more white lies & holiday photos...

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

This trip back to Singapore (SP), HongKong(HK), and China was so meaningful... I finally introduced Joe to all my family members, and declared him as my bf &"future husband" after dating him for 7 years. Such a great relief, no more white lies… …

By the way, Joe was not at all anxious. He appeared to be such a sweet boy and my family members like him. (I think).

Singaporean girls are so Fskinning

Friday, February 27, 2009

I was so “depressed” when out shopping in spore although it is my fav past time! I have to wear MEDIUM SIZE in Spore whilst in Australia, I can sometimes fit into small size!!! How annoying & depressing, all because SP girls are so Fskinning!!! It’s true, majority of them are size 6, and I reckon about 20%-30% of them are under size 6 (Xsmall). Actually, perhaps I was one of them in the past, and did not aware until today since I continue to expand horizontally after I left spore in 2001..

I’m back blogging!!!!!!

Sorry guys, I’ve very slacked and unmotivated these days to write up my blog after holidaying for 5 weeks overseas! I promised I’ll try hard to recall any interesting events and post them up….

Before I start blogging about my holidays, I want to thanks this lady, Liz, for her artistic work! Liz, stop underestimating & comparing yourself to the Pros, you definitely have the tALEnT… Thank you, I really like that cartoon you’ve created for me!!! I normally wont ask people favours, however, this time, i shamelessly approached Liz & asked her to draw me...

Joe & Joa house

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Yeah! House photo was uploaded…..

I can’t remember why Joe and I suddenly decided to buy a house… But I do rem that buying this house was less than half a day decision. Yes, we are impulsive buyers.

Regretting??? No!! Because we finally have our own house and this is big compared to the stupid box” size apartment in the city. And my girlfriends live around the corner, so I get to see them often…

However, I’m trying very hard to adjust to lifestyle in the West. There are only a few Asian restaurants (hardly any, actually)…Luckily that boy Joe knows how to cook, or else I’ll starve to death…

Oh.. there’s so much to talk about this house.. I fell in love with the display house, so I decided to buy it, and we did spontaneously. Excitement clouded my judgment… I was expecting my house to be quite “similar” to the display house (minus the furniture).. To my disappointed, we needed to upgrade all the things in the display house.. When I discovered that, they refused to upgrade even though we willing to pay.. They said “too late!” ****

I was so annoying with these things

1) Turning taps (I want those taps that u lift, rather than turn).. Actually, I’m kind of used to the turning tap now… (Trang will have something to say about this, right, my dear?)

2) Fridge space (this is ridiculously, unbelievable.. such a dumb builder. Our fridge space can’t accommodate a side by side fridge because the space is too narrow & short.. Whoever designed that kitchen is **** stupid..

3) Kitchen blench top (I can’t believe that it’s laminated top, I want a caser stone kitchen bench top.. Another disappointment…)

4) The colour of the front house… Oh… I freaked when I saw the colour.. However, I think I don’t really mind it now! I supposed I keep looking at it, so I adjusted myself to liking it.. (I like people opinion about the colour? Vote Yes to change the colour! Vote No to stay in the same colour..

I’ll quite happy with everything now, coming to terms and accepting these “flaws”…

Please do vote.. really love to hear your opinion about the colour of the house….keke…. :)

sicky day...

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

been sneezing all day, and having teary eye.. dont know where it cold or hay fever.. taken tablet but not helping. i dont want to be sick again. i been sick so many times this yr, and i cant afford to.. i need to finish writing up my thesis...
will try to get some sleep now. and hopefully i'll be ok....

what to write....... Two inspiration friends…

I rang up zhengyang in Spore immediately after setting up my blog, and instructed him to visit & leave comment.. I’m so shameless…

Oh… I said in my introduction that I will talk about Trang… I shouldn’t talk about zhengyang before talking about her or else she’ll be jealous. (I’m kidding)…

i want to blog about my friends before i become self-centred...

I’m really not good at describing people, especially using fancy vocabulary..

Trang, my first Australian friend, and closest one. We met at Latrobe Uni at one of the psy lecture.. Initially, we hardly hanged out. Oh god, I don’t know how we become closer… She is someone that once you get to know her, you will not want to lose her and most importantly, you’ll want to pamper her and treat her like a princess….. Not only she is smart, she has a kind heart and funny…. She gets angry at me when I made silly decisions. She provides support and tries to help me to get through my Masters….. To be continued….. (brain dead)….

Zhengyang, a guy that sat next to me during Higher Chinese class in Zhonghua Secondary Sch in Spore.. We started writing notes and chatting to each other because we were bored in class.. Don’t get the wrong idea, not love notes though..
I actually treated him like my “girlfriend” and bitched about stuff… Though we are living in two different courtiers, we are still quite involved in each other’s life… Like Trang, he is another smart-ass. He is easily going, but at time, can be a bastard….. He listens to my same complaints about life, and then he just nods and nods… We have this chemistry that we just crack on silly stuff all the times… Oh… there’s no secret between us…. To be continued (brain dead)…
