Winter Wonderland???

Commerce Postgraduate Ball Session 1, 2007
Sydney Showboat Cruise

8th Jun 07

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day started off real bad actually...

rain, rain, more rain...

winds, winds, stronger winds, more strong winds...

thoughts of NOT attending the Ball did cross my mind more than a couple of times during the day >.O

my poor 'lil Hello Kitty brolly got blown sOOOOooooooo bad... :( i'm not sure if it'll survive much longer..!

and for the 1st time ever, i experienced what it meant to be 'swept away by the winds'! cos i really DID get blown along the Uni. Walkway. NO KIDDING!!! if Eelin was here she'll have to be tied down with bricks at her ankles before going outside... heee! the winds were that strong O.o

anyways,

i made it to Joanna and Carrie's place after TAHM5011 final exam, like 落汤鸡.

got ready in 30 minutes,

got picked up by Henry (Thank God he drove over; i CANNOT imagine if the 3 of us had to try and get a cab in yesterday's awful, awful weather!),

arrived at the Ferry drenched again...

well you can hardly expect our poor brollies to be able to take that kind of battering from the awful, howling winds at the Harbour??!!!

:p

once inside the Ferry, it was nice and warm =)))

the theme was Winter Wonderland, and i have to hand it to the Events deco peeps... i thought the place looked really really pretty!!

except! it was a tad bit too dark at the tables and i could hardly see what i was eating (not to mention take photos off the food, like last semester's Ball) :p

entertain last night came in the form of a Belly Dancer! wOOoooooo!

other than that, it was pretty much alot of exchanging of hugs and air-kisses when you make your way around the Ferry, bumping into people you didn't get to see during the semester, who miraculously appears on the last day of the semester (!!!), take photos, hit the dancefloor, take more photos, blah blah blah......

LOUIS is a BOY o.O

晕倒！

看到我家的小boyboy穿着Strawberry Shortcake 的t-shirt, 又想哭又想笑！

Louis 是 boyboy 啦！！

哎哟！！！

EarLY biRtHdae PreSsiesss!

i've said it before and i'll say it again, if i were a guy i'll luv luv luv 'Ling!

rec'd my early bday pressie this morning ^^

now cannot concentrate on studies...

'cos watching new S.H.E. concert dvd!! weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ling we have to K when i go back leh... i love 五月天 (both the song AND band. haha!!)

Thank u!!!!!!

luv luv luv u ^^

i always THOUGHT there were bats that came out at night in the area i'm living right now....
now i KNOW its true!!
'cos there's a dead bat right outside my place!
i mean... right next to the letterbox thingy outside our building!
and my window overlooks the letterbox and the dead thingy!!!
eeeeeeeeuwwwwwww!
no! i'm not taking pictures of it! damn disgusting can!!! UGH!

i hate it when GENUINE concern gets mistaken for kpo-ness...
at times like that it makes me want to stop caring (and i WOULD have stopped caring if not for the fact i regard the person as a true friend and i (still) refuse to give up caring...)



but i still hate the feeling of being misunderstood...... :(

17 wOndERfuL daYs toGetHeR -- Part 3

Day 14 --

Back in Syd. we slept in that Wed. morning.

Woke up at 10-ish to make 糖水(sweet dessert) for him.

Then we spent the rest of the day at the Royal Botanic Gardens -- soaking in the sun. Us 2.... and about a few dozen Jap High School kids on excursion with their teachers :p Those kids were so so SO rowdy can? Them and their irritatingly high-pitched chatter >.<>

Day 15 --

Slept in again till it was time to go catch Pirates3!!! Woohoooo! Johnny Depp is just fab.!

I know i'm not going to watch any movies here again this sem. Next sem? We'll see if there's anything really worth spending 14bucks on... But when i'm back in SG? Heeee! That'll be different! Must go catch Harry Potter! And i have to check with 'Ling if there's any Kor./HK movie coming out in July. Heeee! 'Ling! Keep a lookout ok?? I miss movies with you... you with your Doritos, and me with my salted/buttery popcorn O^^O

oh! i digress.... :p

Anyways, back to our time here in Syd. I think we were both dreading the end of his stay here.... i know i was :( Only 1 thought kept running through my head... 2 more days and he'll be going back to Twn. When am i gonna see him again?

Day 16 --

Made pancakes for brekkie ^^ Yum!

He wanted to have baked salmon for dinner that night so we went to Paddy's for fresh salmon and veg.

Popped into K-Square to K-歌 (Yes, just us 2 ^^ for 2 hours. And no! We're not tired of hearing ourselves sing yet. Wahahah!) before coming home.

He walked me to class, picked me up later, and we came home to make dinner together late that night. He's so comfortable in the kitchen... i love to see him take control and do the slicing and chopping, stirring and tasting... haha!

Day 17 --

His last day here!

We went to Paddington Market again in the morning 'cos he wanted to go there. Then we walked to HRC for souvenir tees. We had late lunch at Makoto in the City before coming back to Randwick to do some last minute groceries so i could make steak for his dinner that evening.

Back at home, while he packed his things and got ready for his long flight home, i made dinner. Knowing him, he's probably not going to go out on his own to have a proper Western meal (read: Steak, Foccacia Sandwiches, Pastas or pizzas of any sort). So i attempted to make dinner extra special that evening ^^

Then we were off to the airport.

Checked-in the bags (He came with 1 luggage, left with 2. Heee! I DID manage to get him to pick out quite a few new shirts and jeans ^^ Oh! And lots of snacks!) then spent the rest of whatever time we had left at Starbucks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was already missing him like crazy before he even left... and i knew it was going to be awfully hard to say bye... but i'm damn proud of myself for not crying when he finally had to leave. At least, not in front of him :(

I waited till the sliding doors finally closed between us and he could no longer see me, that i started to cry :(

I don't know how long i'll have to wait to see him again......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I miss him........

17 woNdeRfuL daYs toGetHer -- paRt 2 (MeLb)

Day 10 --

Left Syd early that morning and arrived in Melb just before 8am!!! I'm so so SO happy to be Melb again ^^
He had an exhibition thingy to attend to for work so technically, the trip to Melb was an official company thingy.
Checked-in to Holiday Inn and was soon picked up by the people he was suppose to work with on the exhibition (his clients apparently..). Spent the rest of the morning at the Exhibition and Convention Centre opposite Crown's.

Only in the afternoon did we get time to ourselves.

We walked to the City for lunch at..... *drumroll*........ where else but Pancake Parlour!!! I LIKE!! It's so yummy! Heeee! But the servings were huge! So we skipped dessert and walked over to DFO after lunch (to work off those calories :p).

Hurhurhur! DFO!!! O^^O We walked round the place TWICE. Went into countless numbers of shops. Spent quite abit there... cannot resist Levi's Jeans almost 50% the price of what you'll normally get back in SG. Woohooooooo!

** Cirque was in Melb with Varekai!!! I saw the all-too-familiar blue and yellow tents from across the Yarra River and went all excited! Squealing in delight!!! But the tickets were sold out for the days that we were in Melb!!! :( so we could only take pictures outside the Concession Tents.**

Day 11 --

Spent the morning exploring Queen Victoria Markets (read: shopping, eating, spending). Saw this loooooong queue for hot donuts at the Markets and didn't hesitate to join the queue to find out what's sOoooo good about 'em. Haha! The SG-mentality... got queue? Just join. Find out what it is later.... Must be good de... or better yet... FREE! Haha!! Anyways, the donuts were goooood! Piping hot, sweet, jam-filled... ^^ i like sweets! But he prefers Krispy Kreme.
The rest of the day was spent mainly aimlessly walking around the City... talking... taking in the sights... talking... nua-ing at the numerous Gardens that Melb City has... talking......... aiya! Basically we didn't care where we were actually going. I think we were more absorbed in talking... talking... talking somemore........ o.O oh ok, we did take pictures as well ^^ but really, most times we didn't care where we were going or doing, we just wanted to cuddle and chat! I like!!

**i think he'll kill me for putting this photo up here... but i love it! haha! he just ran over and plopped himself down for this shot. and i din wait for him to 'get ready'.... i just snapped ^^ haha! result? a very sexy pose... teeheeeeee!**

Day 12 --

Rainy and cccccccccOld day. Yucks!

In between worrying about work-stuff and making calls to his boss, we spent a lazy morning at this 'fab magazine/coffee place in the City! Mag Nation! Coolness!! Chanced upon this 'lil 2-storey cafe that basically has mag.s mag.s and morrrrrrre mag.s!!! Give me a cuppa and i can easily stay there the whole day just browsing thru' all that mag.s! Love love love such places ^^
Went round and round on the City Circle Tram. Heee! Free mah! Just hop onto it and enjoy the ride around the City... take in the sights lah!

Went to Crown that night. Look-see only! Both of us don't gamble anyways so... yea.... see see look look ^^
Day 13 --

Last minute shopping! Heeeee!!
Spent the afternoon at Fitzroy Gardens.

**his friend said the above looked like some MV shoot. WAhaha!**

Then back to Syd that evening.
