the last morning of 2009

Surprisingly, I woke up at 9 something for the past two days (right after I complained that I woke up way too early for the past few days). I was quite shocked to realise that it was almost 10 when I looked my clock. Maybe I should thank my housemate for not making any noise early in the morning. =P I did wake up at about 7.30am but I slept back since there's nothing to do if I were to get up so early. I slept for more than 8 hours for the last two nights. Haha! Nowadays, I always go to bed at about 12.30am. Why? Just in case I wake up too early the next day, I still have 7 hours of sleep. Smart. It's good to sleep early. Better for your body. Last year when I was in Miri, I went to bed before midnight because there was nothing to do and nobody to chat with. Why is my life always so boring and dead? No idea.

It's 31st of December 2009. The last day of 2009. Malaysians will go for some countdown event while Australians will probably welcome 2010 by clubbing. Their life is all about drinking and clubbing. I would watch the countdown in Taiwan on TVBS every 31st December back at home but this year is gonna be slightly different as I'm not in Malaysia (so I don't have access to TVBS). My mom will usually cook a sumptuous dinner today and then we'll have supper from the leftovers while watching the show. This year, I'll just have pizzas at home and welcome 2010 by chatting with my friends. Haha!

Time to reflect what I've done for the past 365 days in 2009. I don't really know what to reflect on as reflection is not really my thing. Perhaps my studies? I didn't pass with flying colours (but I did pass with credits) solely because I didn't put much effort in my studies. Fair enough. No pain, no gain. I am a procrastinator and I think I'm gonna continue being one forever? I hope not. I shall make it one of my new year's resolutions then. Hehe. What else? What else? Hmm. This is like asking me to crap out some stuff just to answer the question in exam. >.< Let's start with the beginning of the semester. I got a very shocking news that was least expected but everyone around seemed to know about it before me. I hate this kinda feeling. Hate being the last to be informed but shit happens. You can't expect anyone to tell you everything that happens. You just have to move on, girl. No point of looking back and reminding yourself of the wound left behind. Why do you choose to rub salt into the wound when you can actually leave it there and move forward? The scar is always gonna be there just to remind you not to repeat the same mistake again. You'll eventually ignore the scar when it's time. Patience is all you need. =) I shall move on to my winter break. It was really fun to travel around Australia with my friends. Enjoyed the time we had together. That's gonna be my last winter break as I'll be very busy next year. No holidays for me. Next is my birthday. It was a GRAND celebration, I must say. Well, at least for me. Full of surprises. My birthday celebration gets merrier year by year. Thanks to all my besties. Love you all!!! I'm so blessed to have friends like you. Once again, thank you very much! What's next? Oh.. Spring. Spring is a season of love this year. So many new couples started their relationship this time of the year. All the best to you guys. Remember to invite me to your wedding in the future. =) Ok. Let's skip to summer break now. Friends from Adelaide came to visit this year. Chien Yen, Chui Shin, Sze Shen, Adeline and Weina. Hopefully, they had fun in Perth (a boring place). Before they came, I'd been trying to look for a job in a pharmacy but gave up in the end. Those two interviews that I went for were not fruitful. Sad, I must say. But I couldn't do much about it. If I know that I couldn't get a job, I would've booked an earlier flight back to my home sweet home. I'm still going back on 11th January. Sigh~ Being alone in Perth is frustrating. I guess I'll spend my time walking around Perth and take some pictures? Shall see how it goes. Now, it's time for new year's resolution. I don't usually think about it because I just live my life as it goes. Perhaps, study smarter and harder so that I can graduate? Lose some fat by controlling my diet and exercising more? Spend less money on clothes, shoes, accessories since I'm jobless? Complain less as I need to learn to be more grateful? The list goes on and on. I guess that's about it. New year is the time to celebrate a new beginning, a time to wish all your friends and loved ones a happy new year. I wanna wish everyone a double dose of health and happiness topped with loads of good fortune. Let's say goodbye to 2009 (the grudges, sadness, pain, fear and regrets) and welcome 2010 together. =)

Wish I could watch this tonight.

ohaiyo gozaimasu~

Look at the clock. It's only 8.48am now and I'm wide awake. I actually woke up about an hour ago to switch the air-conditioner off. I think it was switched on by someone at 4am or 5am and I have no idea who did that. I was struggling between waking up or not because I know that once I leave my bed, I wouldn't be able to sleep again even if I only slept for few hours (unless I'm VERY tired). In the end, I still forced myself to get up as it was way too cold for me to stay in bed. So, here I am, blogging but I don't have anything to blog about. Can anyone tell me what I should do now? I hate waking up early and do nothing for the day. I've been waking up early ever since I've moved here. Sometimes it's the cars on the main road, sometimes it's the sunlight. I miss Vickery's dark blue curtain. It keeps my room dark at all times. =P

2 more hours to go before Bel comes. I'm watching Avatar today. Everyone says that it's AWESOME. I wasn't really interested after watching the trailer but shall just give it a try since everyone is watching. Tata~

christmas + boxing day

Had a simple christmas dinner with Yi Tyeng and Hsiu Li. The dinner didn't look grand but it was really VERY satisfying. I was bloated after stuffing so much food into my stomach. I could hardly move. Really enjoyed the night talking, stalking and laughing. =)

Baked pasta

Roasted chicken

Vege

Dessert made by Hsiu Li

White wine sponsored by me

Just the 3 of us

That's how I spent my Christmas night. YT and I cleaned the bathroom and living room after coming abck from Vickery with some stuff. How tiring. Boxing Day is another tiring day. I didn't buy anything at all for myself. Everyone tells me that there's a lot to buy on Boxing Day. One can spend more than hundred dollars in a day. I thought I would but I didn't, which is kind of surprising. What to do? The clothes that I like or want were all in BIG sizes. How sad! All I did were walking and trying to find something to try and buy. Not a fruitful day indeed. Well, to be honest, I don't need perfumes, cosmetics, etc as I have already a lot of them. It's good to save some $$$ sometimes. Hehe. Ohhh I bumped into Queena again. For the 3rd time since our summer break started. Such a coincidence. I've never bumped into the other coursemates of mine which I think is weird. I mean, Perth is so small. Really small. We could possibly bump into anyone, anytime, anywhere. Ahh.. whatever.

Anyway, I slept all the way back to my house. This proved that I was tired although I didn't feel physically tired. I'm fine with all this walking and window shopping because I'm used to walking for hours just to shop. I love window shopping. I love it more if I get to buy stuff that I love. We came home and had prawn noodle for dinner. We then had this apple berry crumble pie that I bought last winter. >.<>

p/s: My dear housemate forgot to unlock the bathroom door again. We had to brush our teeth and wash our face outside again. I really hope she'll not repeat this anymore.

new is the word

We've moved to our new house. Moving stuff was really tiring. Thanks to Wan Ling and Jaclyn who offered a helping hand. We went to Yi Tyeng's aunt's house to return her TV and she asked us to stay for dinner. We had duck for dinner. Yummy~ We then came home (our new home) and started to clean our rooms. I didn't really clean my window part yet because I was just too exhausted. Yi Tyeng really did a great job. I think her room is VERY clean now. =P I shall continue cleanign today after getting some cleaning stuff from Carousel.

I'm not really used to my new house yet. A total new environment. A new housemate who works everyday. We hardly even see her. I heard her leaving for work this morning. I set my alarm at 9.35am but I woke up at 8.25am. I only slept for about 6 hours. I used to sleep for more than 8 hours in Vickery. Why? Because it's a bit noisy here. I can hear cars passing by every second. Blame the location of my house. It's just beside the main road. I'll just bear with it for a year. Plus, I'm sleeping facing the window and the curtain is not dark blue like Vickery's. So, I don't think I can sleep in till very late. Ohhh. Guess what? I think my new housemate locked the bathroom door from the other side (we shared the bathroom) and now I can't even wash up and prepare to go out. >.<

Missing Vickery. Missing it's BIG shelves, BIG wardrobe, drawers, etc. But I do not miss the sprinkler there at all. Hmph! Anyway, I shall slowly adapt myself to this new environment. I'm an adaptable person. =) I'm so gonna to get a fan later. I'm gonna turn into a BBQ pork if I don't get one soon.

pindah rumah

This is gonna be my very last post from Vickery House. I'm moving today. Packing is tiring. Cleaning up the house is another difficult task. I took my sweet time since I have so much time to waste. Do drop by my house if you're free. =) Tata~

Gonna suffer some muscle pain tomorrow because I'll be carrying my stuff which weighed 38471829037 kg to and from the car. >.<
