Filled with Photos!

Warning! Long post ahead!!

This entry consists of various entries that should've been made, so beware people!

== HotPot ==

Jamie came back to Melbourne for holiday and many of us went for dinner with Jamie for HotPot and Boxhill. I didn't get to pay for the dinner because Jamie paid for all of us! Sheesh~ Anyway thanks again James for dinner. =)

== Girl's Day Out ==

Headed to Joe's Garage at Brunswick for breakfast in the morning. Breakfast there is always the best (as compared to other stalls). And yeah, I've finally found out the way to this place. Jamie likes to go thru small alleys, so it's kinda hard to find the place. But well, I know now!

Then we headed to Chapel Street for SHOPPING! But I didn't manage to get anything, only a pair of earrings that costs $5! Cheap cheap! We headed to the city afterwhich for dinner and for "Step Up 2" at Crown with the rest of the girls. Cake munching follows the movie session at Grecko's.

== Sunny Ridge ==

Last Saturday morning was spent crashing baby's cell outing. We went to Mornington Peninsula for strawberry picking! It was SOOOOOO FUN! But extremely dirty..

He did not pick these strawberries! It was me!

YUMMMMMMMY!!

Then we headed to the cafeteria for their famous strawberry icecream. It really tasted DAMN GOOD! Unlike those strawberry icecream in tubs. yucks.

== Mantons Creek ==

We headed to the nearby Mantons Creek after our satisfying strawberry picking experience. I bought 3 bottles of wine! 2 bottles of Pinot Rose and a Rosado. They taste better than the normal red and white wines.

There were 2 dogs there! Poppy and Chester! So cute! They were some sorta spaniels, I didn't really get the breed.

While baby's cell group were still wine tasting...........

I was playing with the dogs! Look at Chester, literally leaning on my legs. His ENTIRE weight is on my legs. Lazy doggy! I really like dogs, if my dad didn't forbid, I would've gotten a dog long ago! (after my Dino was given away... =( )

Chester looking a baby as he leaves....

And began the "rape"....

== The Atlanticians' Housewarming ==

Hurried home after the cell group crashing trip to get ready for my housewarming!

Other than eating......... Our invited guests did.............

Guitar Hero was a hit during the housewarming. They guys were playing it NONSTOP.. Look at their serious faces! =p

Also, we played this game called "Send the Message". Our Madam Wong is very addicted to this game (poker was her previous addiction).

And lastly, poor Robs was sabotaged! Noone had the "message" with them. We just wanted to make Robs turn his head again and again and again....

Ok, I'm tired. Wait for another long post again. =)

Dear Debbie

As I write you my "LOVE LETTER" (which I am forced to write since you are here, even filling in the title for me, and setting a WORD COUNT), I don't really know what to say here that is suitable for your blog. So can I end now? Oh no, Thunderstorm plus Heavy Rain weather forecast if I don't write? Okay okay weather woman, you win.

Never have I seen someone who delights in playing solitaire even when she is not in solitude. ARE YOU SAYING I AM AS GOOD AS INVISIBLE? But then again, you have many gripes about the way I eat, the way I look/act shabby and scruffy so clearly I'm not. Maybe it's selective invisibility. Susan Storm eat your heart out.

Never have I seen someone with such "AKAKAKAKA" or "BITE MY LIP AND ANNOY YOU WITH DETERMINATION" facial expressions, or such helplessness when burping (like you are a rag doll, with air being squeezed out).

Never have I seen a girl so freaking efficient. Sometimes I wonder if you are a fembot. Maybe I should install a few new programs on you, like DoMyDishes 2.0, NagStop beta, Lovey Dovey Explorer, Mozilla FartFox, etc. And I know sometimes your feel like Alt+F4ing me as well, so we both have our Coding Flaws.

Okay, I could go on and on discussing your quirks, but all that is beating around the bush, and that bush spells out (in leaves): I LOVE YOU, BUT PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO BUY FOWERSHOAM AS THE GREEN ONE IS RUNNING OUT AT YOUR HOUSE.

xoxo,
"GuitarHero" Guy

This is the reason why I love him. =)

Happy

We had an argument in the afternoon. So silly, about plastic containers and about throwing it away. I was really unhappy, but it's in the past now.

Went to school and stayed there for 3 hours doing up a pre-trading report. It was easy, but very complicated. In the end, we had to split the job to do the thing.

The cell group came over for dinner in the night. We had bak kut teh. I was chief cook, so I had to prepare dinner. Was kinda scared that it wouldn't taste good. Thank God I passed. =)

Baby was NO WHERE to be found and he took my keys, so I had to call Melissa to open the door for me. I was thinking, "I'm so gonna KILL him when he gets back!"

Guess what he brought back with him when he came back? Guitar Hero III! Not 1 but 2! So can you imagine the $ he spent on me just to make me happy? Awwwww...

All smiles for the rest of the day. =)

Weekend WITHOUT the boys! =D

WHOT A DAY!

Woke up early in the morning, got ready, picked up the girls and off we went to the Camberwell Sunday Market! We only arrived there at 11.30am as we got lost on the way there, but we still had 1 hour to shop (or walk around)!

Didn't manage to buy and stuff, only jam donut! =p

After that, we decided to go walk around St. Kilda and had lunch at Fringe. The mushroom was overcooked though. =(

Walked around the area, but not much shops opened. I spent money again! On a t-shirt dress that costs A$60! But I like it alot. No more t-shirt dresses for me already! BOOO!

Then headed to San Churro! They opened a branch on St. Kilda. First time I went was with Jamie at the Brunswick branch. They've expanded to Knox too!

Overall, I had a splendid great time with the girls. We should've more outings like this more often. What a great weekend without the boys! =p

But of course, I stil miss the boy. =)

*pardon my PS skills

Autumn

Autumn has approached, it's getting colder day by day. I still remember this time last week, I was still complaining to almost everyone about the intense heat. The hottest last week was probably 43 degree celsius.

The weather in Melbourne is crazy, there could be 4 seasons in a day! For example, this afternoon, I was complaining to the girls (plus 1 guy) how warm it was. And the next moment, I'm complaining to my housemates how cold it is.

Today has been very unproductive. I literally slept the whole day, waking up to find an army of ants all over my leftover apple juice. It was traumatising. For 5 mins, I sat on my bed looking at all the ants scurrying from my cup to ..... how would I know? Their nest? Not knowing what to do!

Thank God all's gone (or dead I suppose) after massive spraying of Baygon (I'm so greatful to the one that invented that). If baby were here, I would'nt have felt so helpless. Those who don't know, I don't dare to kill (or touch) insects. 1 to 5 ants are ok. BUT when there's an army. I'll be like, helpless.

Enough of insects, making me feel queasy. Dinner was held at Elaine's. We brought over ALL THE LEFTOVERS. From Sher's birthday on Wednesday night, my leftover baked pasta (I overestimated the amount of food!) and Jasmine's leftover fried rice from last night. Thank God my pasta was finished! And I'm glad they enjoyed the pasta. My family didn't know how to appreciate that when I cooked for them during the holidays. =(

Ziggy's so cute! By the way, its Elaine's dog. An american cocker spaniel. Reminds me of my dog in the past, who's an english cocker spaniel. The thought of why I agreed with my parents on giving him away just pisses me off. Dogs have feelings too. If only I can embrace my dog once again. I miss my Dino. =(

Ok, enough being emo. I'm feeling VERY cold now and I'm off to bed. Hope I wont sleep the whole day away again tomorrow.

Goodnight guys.

Happy Easter!

Ahhh.. After so long of wondering how to set my blog to another layout, I finally got it done. Can't believe I used to be an IT student, htmls were something very easy for me to deal with. But time has passed and I've turned rusty.

Speaking of rusty, I came to think about my past, where I used to play the drums. Robs has approached me to play the drums for OCF some time back, but I'm still not very comfortable with that idea. It was 8 years ago! Without much practise from then, I don't dare to play infront of so many people. No way man.

Ok enough of that. Well, its Easter today. Wonder what are you guys doingg on this wonderful day. The boy has left me for Easter camp and I'm all alone, bf-less for the weekend. But well, I'm sure the weekend with the girls will be a great one regardless. =)

But I'm sure gonna miss my boy.

There you go Mom.

Alas, the world has been waiting! (yeah, as if)

I've finally taken pictures of my humble abode. Yeah, I'm loving my new house, room, housemates (minus 1) now.

Enough said, let's get the ball rollin'.

from my door..

from the corner of the room

My bed. Changed it to a Double one. Don't worry mom, got it FREE. Thanks loads Daniel!

My "dressing" table..

My computer table! Ok, this I bought. I just LOVE this table.

BeanBag! The lovelies bought this for my birthday. Very belated birthday.

Jamie darling gave this to me. And this actually SAVED MY LIFE. (cos I have more clothes than expected. =p)

My door poster was "Transformers". But the housemates decide that this was nicer.
Melissa even wrote Uncle Ong and my name! HAHA. So funny!

Last but not least. My HUGE INVESTMENT. (mommy don't tell daddy please.) I had to get this cos my sunnies (the cheapo fashionable ones) we're killing my eyes and my nose.

And this is SOOO COMFY!

I purposely picked the not so obvious logo. (in case daddy finds out it's expensive. but it's not really that expensive mommy. really.)

Ok, that's all for now. I promise to utilise my camera more often ok? Stay in tuned for more camwhoring sessions with the girls and I. (if we go out.)

FINALLY

House's up.
Water's up.
Gas' up.
Electricity's up.
Internet's up.

But this house still lacks of something - 1 more housemate.

Hello and Goodbye

Yeah yeah yeah... I haven't been updating in awhile. But that's because there's still no internet connection over at the new place. So now I'm at my darling's place, using the internet, how long also never mind. =p That's because, HE'S OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS!

Had a tiring day today. Woke up at 8am to get ready for the CD Project. Frankly speaking, it has been taking a toll. Many a times I felt like pulling out, but then I will come to my senses and know that I'm doing it for God. So, how could I possibly give up? Even if I were to hold a small fry's roll, I'll persevere!

But there's lots of administrative issues to settle. Argh.

Haven't been very nice to the boy lately. Don't know if it's my PMS or AM I JUST LIKE THAT? I think I might need to visit the shrink soon. I'm easily irritated. AND I WANT THIS "ILLNESS" TO LEAVE ME FOREVER. But how?

Maybe I need retail therapy. =D

Enough of that, I'm currently debating if I should go out and pack Macs or not. Should I or should I not?

Maybe I should.

Bye for now!

Thoughts.

Random thoughts while showering invoked me into writing this post.

Was talking to the boy today with regards to blogging. As some know, I have been a "fan" of blogs of people such as Dawn Yang's and Nira's. Why do I read their blogs? No, definitely not for the things they write about, that I do not want to explain further. But well, for the photos. I just enjoy seeing their pretty faces, whether or not they're natural or man made.

Then, the boy and I came to a topic on why bloggers blog. Is it to become famous? Or what? Seriously speaking, I do not know why do bloggers blog. But definitely not all have the ambition to be famous. Well, at least I do not have that sorta ambition.

The boy continued to question me, asking why do I blog and who is it for to read? Well, of course my friends and family back home. But then it dawned on me. I wonder who REALLY actually reads my blog. For all I know, it might just be Uncle Ong alone.
