Like what I said in this post before, my dad doesn't usually call me but he just did today. Feel so loved after talking to him over the phone. An unexpected call indeed. I could feel his concern about me. He asked me about my dinner, the weather, my exams, and my winter break. He's worried about the swine flu cases in Australia. Plus, I'm going to travel around during winter break. So, he reminded me to bring some masks with me and to take good care of myself. Sure I will. He also updated me with the condition in Miri. Haze. A terrible one. Hope it's gonna be fine soon.

Whenever you feel like nobody loves you or nobody cares about you, just think of your family. They are always there for you.

thank you =)

I'm happy to know that my friends are concerned about me no matter where they are right now. Malaysia or Australia. To my dear friends, thanks for those sms and facebook's messages. I'll have to control myself to surf less net from now onwards. It's a critical time now. Finals begin next Monday. Wish me luck! =)

housies!

I was doing my assignment when I suddenly thought of my dearest housemates. Our first outing was a dinner at Oliver's Restaurant in Northbridge. We had discussion on where to have the dinner. We wanted to go to some restaurants recommended by our friends but we didn't have a car to complete that mission. So, we ended up choosing the easiest way. Northbridge! I still prefer Ciao Italia though. I really want to bring my housemates there someday. Anyway, let's get back to Oliver's. We ordered three main dishes and two pizzas. After having such a pleasant dinner together, we went to Utopia for a drink. We sat down and played a game since the night was still young. We got to know more about each other by asking questions on our personal life. It was a great night. I really enjoyed that night to the max! Too bad Amanda couldn't join us as she had to go for her Easter camp. We promise to organise more outings in the future. =) Ahh~ It's so nice to have housemates like them.

Happy! SO SO HAPPY! Glad that everything is over and I can definitely enjoy my summer break! I can actually change my flight back to Miri from 15 December to tomorrow if I want to but my friends from Melbourne are coming next week. Most of the INTECians in Perth are working now. Hence, I need to bring them around Perth. To be honest, I seriously don't know where to bring them to. I haven't really explore Perth yet. Only been to some places organised by Curtin and friends. So, please do forgive me for being a poor tour guide. Results has been released and I'm very satisfied with it. I'm gonna get a present from my mom when I get back to Miri. Haha! I wish that I could get a new cell phone but my request is too much, I guess. So, I shall use my own money in order to get a new cell phone. =P I went shopping alone today and I fell in love with 3 dresses. Ahhhhh~ Should I buy them? Now that I have an excuse. As a reward for myself. Hehe.

memories floating back

How's the weather in Perth now? It gives me a feeling of Malaysia. The moon is round and bright tonight. The scent of air is so familiar. It not only reminded me of my hometown, Miri but also Akasia where I lived for almost 2 years. All those memories in the past few years came back to my mind. How sweet and precious those memories that we had together. Those moments of life is just unforgettable. I don't think that I would have the opportunity to get to know so many friends from all over Malaysia if I did not appeal for the scholarship. I should really thank my parents for forcing me to do so. If not, I wouldn't be here, studying pharmacy. I started to ponder over the life that I've gone through for the past 21 years. Began to feel blessed with all the things that I have in my life despite the obstacles that I had to go through by myself. I learn more from the obstacles in my life. I learn from my mistakes. I promise not to repeat the same mistake again. I don't know if I can do that but I'll try. I did fail sometimes but I managed to stand up. One of the failure made me felt as if I was thrown into a dungeon forever. Nevertheless, there are some people in my life who tried their very best to pull me out of the dungeon that I'd created. This made me realised that I have to be a stronger person. Life goes on depsite the difficulties that we have to face each and everyday. That's what I've been telling myself all this while and I hope that I can keep my promise as I hate those people who break promises.

my one and only 21st

15th September 2008
a day to remember, forever
the day I turned 21
a day full of blessings
a new chapter of life begins from now...

That's for me =)

Presenting my lovely and yummy cookies and cream ice cream cake =P

Let's talk about the midnight surprise, shall we? The plan began since don't-know-how-long ago. Yi Tyeng told me she had to accompany Yijia to Carousel to settle her bank stuff. I thought that I have nothing to do in Carousel so I didn't wanna follow. Few days later, she told me that she's going to Carousel again with Yijia due to the bank problem again. I needed to accompany Siaw Tze to see the doctor. So, I couldn't follow her to Carousel. On 13th September 2008 night, I went to talk to Yi Tyeng, as usual. It's Saturday. A time to relax a bit. She received a lot of call or perhaps she called some people. So, I'm so 38 that I went to ask her who called. Haha! Usually she won't ask me to leave her room unless I leave her room by myself. That night, after a short chit-chat, she asked me to go back and study since we will be having some tests the next week. I was like 'ok?'. Back to my room and I didn't think much about it. So, I continued to study for the upcoming tests. Suddenly, she knocked my door and told me there's something very 'geli' in the sink. I am that kinda 38 people. So, I really wanted to see what's in the sink. Thinking that it might be due to my disgusting housemate's art of work. Off I went! When I opened the door, I saw Jeng holding my birthday cake with the candles in the dark living room. I was like soooo shocked. Didn't expect that at all. I quickly turned back to avoid them seeing my surprised face. They laughed at me for being so shocked. LOL! I was indeed very surprised! Haha. They sang a birthday song for me, ate some cake, chit-chatted a bit. It was quite late. People had to leave. I led Weena to her car and when I went back home, Jeng, Hsiu Li and Venesy were gone. Too bad! We forgot to take a group picture together. Anyway, I had fun! Thanks for coming to my birthday surprise! Thanks a lot. Yi Tyeng, Siaw Tze, Yijia, Jia Huei, Claire, Candy, Yee Fang, Hsiu Li, Venesy, Jeng and Weena. =) Tricky Yi Tyeng. Planned everything so well. I totally believe in everything she said. Later, I remembered that she asked me if I like Paddle Pop Rainbow flavour ice-cream and I said yes. It tastes soooo good! Haha. That is actually a question to ensure that she has chosen the right flavour. If there's no cookies and cream ice cream cake, she'll need to get the rainbow flavour one. Yi Tyeng, Yi Tyeng! Great job! I seriously didn't expect anything. Just expect a normal midnight celebration on 14th September. She purposely made it a night early than 14th September. Seriously salute you, Goh Yi Tyeng! Thanks, girl! For all the effort! It turned out to be Yijia accompanying her to Carousel, rather than Yi Tyeng accompanying her to settle the bank stuff! Paka! That's all about my midnight surprise! Thanks again people! I know I'm very 'lo-so' for saying thank you so many times. Seriously appreciate it! Wanna say Thank You to dearest Christine as well for the post in her blog. =) Thanks to those who sms-ed me. Jessica, Wen Jun, Peifei, Michelle, Venesy, Siew Ting, Mom, Jeremy, Jesz, Jaclyn, Chau Wang, Yu Wan, Ryan, Yijia, Lukman. Thanks to Xin Ying, Yie Min, Bryan, Michael, Ash, Nooi Hoay, Chia Ling, Joanne, Yi Chin, Doreen, Chean Yeaw, Aaron, Shu Ling, Conney, Siew Ting, Amanda, Ah Wong, Victor, Yi Chiann, Kuok Yee, Jaishree, Siok Ngi, Joyce, Ting Ting, Wan Ling, and Everlyn who wished me a Happy Birthday. Last but not least, thanks a lot for making my 21st birthday a memorable one. Really appreciate your presence, people! All those wishes and gifts! Will keep them forever. Once again, thank you soooo much. Love you guys a lot. *hugs*

clumsy + exhausted + happy me =S

Hurt my thumb today in Pharmaceutics lab. Argh! Clumsy me! I didn't realise that my thumb was bleeding until I saw something red on it while washing the slab. And it felt a bit pain at that moment. Initially, it bleed profusely but after a while, it just stop bleeding that much. I was really scared of blood before. Guess I'm ok with it now? I remembered there was once in Biology lab in Form 5 we had to do some blood test and my friend volunteered himself. When I saw him pricking the needle onto his finger, I was like "OMG!" and I cried [for a few seconds] because I thought that it was really painful. He then told me it didn't hurt at all. Of course. He's a tall and strong guy. Slowly, I calmed my self down and tried to concentrate on other stuff. I didn't know why I was afraid of blood but I'm getting better now. At least I don't cry anymore. =P Perhaps it's because I'm used to see blood on myself since I get some cuts very often. My thumb still hurts! Having some difficulty to write properly now. Handwriting is getting uglier with the injured thumb. Plus, I'm hell tired now because I wasted so much ATP making 6 creams in 3 hours. Hate using the spatula to incorporate the ingredients into the base on the glass slab. Have to clean the slab each time to make a new cream! So exhausted now!

When I came home, I ate my leftover birthday cake. Eating cookies and cream ice-cream cake makes me forget the pain that I suffered from my injured thumb. =P It's a cookies and cream ice-cream cake from Wendy's. I had cookies and cream ice-cream cake last year from Baskin Robbin's. Maybe that's why I want a cookies and cream birthday cake this year? LOL~ I love cookies and cream so much!!! Thanks, Yi Tyeng. For remembering that I love cookies and cream. Taste soooooo goooooooood~ Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! *muacks*

the special 21st

It's my birthday today!!! Yeappie!!! 21 years old! Received gifts, cards, surprises and wishes from my friends!!!! Thanks for making my 21st birthday a special one!!! Appreciate that a lot!!! Thanks people. I shall blog about my birthday when I'm free from assignments and tests!!! Once again, THANK YOU for everything!!!!

thanks!

I wanna say THANK YOU to everyone involved in my birthday surprise just now!!! Especially Yi Tyeng!!! Thanks sooooo much for your effort!!! Shall talk more about the surprise after my Pharmaceutics test. =P

gifted.

Just came back from uni and felt like checking the mail box. When I reached the mail box, the postmen just arrived. I checked my unit's box. It was empty. When I was about to leave, one of the postmen asked me if I stay in Unit 5. There's a parcel for me again! Super happy!! Ain't 21 special? Hehe. It's from Siew Hui. Thanks, girl! This time, I shall not open it until it's 15th September. I just love the feeling of getting something from a postman. Everytime the postman came to my house, I'll volunteer myself to check the mail box although most of the letters are not for me. >.< However, when there is a letter for me, I'll be overjoyed. I just like that kinda feeling. It's like someone is thinking of you somewhere and they are showing their care and concern for you even though they are not around you. They show that they still care, which means a lot to me. =) Perhaps, some time in the future, I won't like the feeling anymore when the bills come every month and I'll be shocked over the amount I spent on internet, electricity, water and gas? Well, I'm just making a wild guess. I might still love the feeling. Who knows?

Now, this is so random of me. I randomly bought this Aloe Vera drink from IGA. Was chatting with Christine about Aloe Vera the night before. Told her that it has some laxative property since she had constipation but not sure about the dose needed to have the laxative effect. Maybe that triggered me to buy it? I don't know. I'm 100% sure that I didn't buy it for the laxative effect because I'm not suffering from constipation. XD

Suddenly, I feel so blessed to have such a great life. Having such a warm family, such a great bunch of besties, such a good luck to have the opportunity to study overseas. I should complain less and start to be more grateful. Thank you so much for everything.

I have to admit that life is full of obstacles. But, yea. You just have to muster all your courage and strength to overcome the obstacles ahead. I think having your friends and family around to support you till the end is of utmost importance. I'm trying my best now and I can see some improvement in myself. 加油! Geeez~ I'm being so positive. How come?
