hOmeSiCk

haven't really felt 'homesick' for the longest time...
mainy 'cos most times i'm just busy with classes, assignments, COMPEC, cooking and baking...
add to that the weekly swimming, the 'me' time i get from going to Church, doing jigsaw puzzles, reading (Kinokuniya! yeah!!), suppers, K-sessions...
plus the friends-i-cant-do-w/o here... Carrie and Henry, Fred, Yanis and Wilson, Annie, Jon, Shawn and Mel, Olivia......
but!!!
hearing daddy's voice over the phone just now made me cry :(
nothing drama-dy... just silent tears so he wouldn't hear me...
but still,
i miss home.
i miss everyone at home.
**Happy Birthday daddy! Love**

• when my fridge is filled with so much food (meat, fish, veg, fruits, condiments, dried herbs etc etc etc ...) i can rival mummy's fridge back in SG;


• when my pantry is VERY well-stocked (with dried mushrooms, lilybuds, hundreds of different yummy things that make yummy desserts -- tong-shuis etc., tin canned food...), spices...;


• when my kitchen is filled with the aroma of fresh baked brownies;


• when my crockpot is fully-utilised making stews and soups every other day :))

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***完美的一天 (孙燕姿) is 'playing' now.... heeeee!

3am.

Awake still.

Just submitted Capstone Journal 1 to Craig.

Floor is literally covered with printouts of ABS' figures on all things 'cultural' (for Capstone project).

Still google-ing for latest NSW tourism stats.

Listening to Quidam's Seisouso (on replay).

Snacking on Lotto Almond Choc biscuits.

In between msn-ing the rare few peeps still awake.

Raining outside.

Distracted by that new jigsaw puzzle set i dug out from the pile of treasures shipped over from SG.

Malcolm just stepped out for a ciggie.

Ian's apparently reading (so he says).

Blogging nonsense.

Bored with waiting for the pages to load on tourism stats.

Shall move on to google for NSW Cultural trends.

Backache.

Wants to crawl into bed under comfy blankie with comfy pillows and Claire's 猪猪, in comfy baggy pjs.

......

I is bored as you probably can tell.

O_o

i managed to get a huge chunk of Negotiation mid-sem exam readings out of the way...

i'm happy :)

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

met the Happy Couple for dinner earlier in the evening...

nothing hot or spicy 'cos they can't take it (hurhurhur)...

but it was great to see them again!

we even had 'dessert' (EasyWay) back in my room after dinner while we caught up on juicy gossips (ah! such indulgence eh??) before they left at 10-ish...

i'm happy :)

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

going to bed now...

full of smiles :)))

what with all that peace and quiet i had tonight...

**VERY HAPPY**

............

i crave for hot and spicy Korean hotpot now.

the 'hotter' the better.

the spicier the better!

:((((

got the chance to scream my lungs out today...
argh! the frustrations... the pent-up sadness, confusion and depressions...
didn't care who, or if anyone at all, was looking or could hear...
just screamed..................................


***feel that teeny bit better.

Fake faKe FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!!!

having to deal (converse in English) with non English-speaking peeps is hard enough...
but when these people try to slang in their lousy English?? with the fake fake VERY FAKE Aussie accent???
-______________________-
can die ok??!!
don't know whether to laugh or cry trying to talk to them.
these people don't know how horrible they sound... hurhurhur! they think they're so ccccccooool! got 'angmoh' accent!!

*situation made worst when said peeps already have very thick accents when speaking in their Mother Tongue O_o

**not being racist or anything ok?? but these just happen to be the yuckaaaay things i encounter almost everyday with those fakes here... :p

i know you're reading this Jo.

your message couldn't have come at a better time...

thank you so much!

much love.

"你变了"

是吗？真的是我变了吗？

bRokEn BaY (iSLand) -- caMp seM 2,07

Its been a week since i've come back from camp.
It was fun i guess...
Just that i had to spend most of my time with organising for Treasure Hunt/Amazing Race. So i kinda had to miss out on lots of other stuff... like bonding with the girls in the Lodge.
Ah well......
Neways, just some more 'worthy' stuff to remember:-
-- Broken Bay Island is really NOT an Island =)
-- We were blessed with sunshine during the day but it was horribly cold at nights!
-- I slept with 1 miserable blanket on Night 1; i thought i would freeze to death in the middle of the night.
-- I slept with 3 blankets (hoooooray!) on Night 2; ah...... much better!
-- I managed a record 6 hours sleep in 2 days =P
-- A record # of people left the 'island' early bcos "it was toooooo cold"!!!
-- Camp food SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
-- I'm blessed wtih Lodge Leaders Elle, Estee, John, Sam
-- Heidi is the sweetest work-partner i could ever ask for
-- Kris is adorably cute
-- Jason is coooool; quiet... but very cool
-- Wiky is witty (oh that sounds so lame... =P ah well...)
-- I like Estee!!! lots!
-- Mel' and Shawn are sOoooooo cute together!
-- While some people are just not meant to be together @.@
-- I'm still more comfortable in one-in-one conversations
-- Looks can be deceiving
-- I rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally dun like HER. hurhur!
-- She's a bitch!
-- There are those who talk little, work hard; and then there are those who are all talk and no action. Ha!
-- Luke's a natural leader
-- John's not. Haha!!
-- Albert's nice
-- Cnt say the same for 1 of his Lodge Leaders thou....
-- Kyra gives warm hugs
-- I think Sarah's rrrrrrrreally pretty!
-- I'm in lurrrrrrrrve. Hurhur!
-- Echo's a doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sweet!
-- Even tom-boyish girls have crushes on cute guys. Hurhur! (i'm being bitchy here.... teeeehee!)
-- Camp 'dance parties' are just awful excuses for some people to get wasted.
-- Some people can really be that silly as to put themselves thru' drinking competitions when they obviously cnt handle it -____-
-- Drunk people often tell the truth; the truth must have hurt for that someone... ha! But then again, she deserved it! so...... too bad 'honey!!
-- I still love my Hoegardens most-est! ha!
-- UNO is a must at camps (or any gatherings really!!)
-- I'm a bad liar
-- Too many versions of Killer! i is confused!!!
-- Broken Bay has no reception leh........ shoooooot!
-- The beach in the mornings was absolutely beautiful thou'...
-- Bunny calls me 'Ting' -___________-
-- Sleazy guys are everywhere! Damnit!
-- Bringing that 3L plain water and Green Tea to the Island was a brilliant idea! Even if it meant my back almost broke on the way to camp with all that weight. Hurhur!
-- I miss Joanna
-- I miss Carrie
-- I miss Jasmine
-- I miss Ting
-- I even miss Fred!!!!!!
**ooOps! looks like i got carried away with the 'worthy'-to-remember list!! haha!!
*** pictures!!!

this is so hard...
it seems to be getting harder with each passing day......=(

latE-NiteS......

spending whole days outside then coming back at 4am a couple of days in a row is NO GOOD for my 'health' and 'youth'. hurhur!

***i hv no blardy idea why a couple of guys who hardly eva cooks at home has cake pre-mixes in their pantry. duh!

LOTS of it!

nutty ones,

fruity ones,

bittersweet,

minty flavoured,

wafer chocs,

biscuit-y ones...

I IS WANTS CHOCS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*confused*

fiGureS -_____________-

now i know why my vision got blur-er and blur-er on the way home this evening...
somewhere between the ride home in George's car to Kingsford, my left eye contacts must have popped out!
cos when i got home and wanted to remove 'em i realised i was only left with the right side!!!
no wonder after getting off George's car i thought my vision had gone slightly double -_____-
dryness + tiredness....
*sigh*
I IS EXHAUSTED!!


**i wonder if the other contact lens is somewhere on his car......

aNotHer seMesteR... veRy liKely tHe laSt oNe.... :(

yea, so i'm back in Syd.... already nearing the end of Week2 of classes... been back exactly 8days actually... but it feels like weeks and weeks!! mainly cos:-

1) i landed last Wed noon, got picked up by Edwin (he'll nvr read this, so i can say this here (w/o blushing) :- he's really a super super nice guy la... every single time i need a ride from the airport, he has gone to pick me up... sweet! plus! 1st time i see him with short hair! waaaahahaha!! pretty cute. hurhur!), came home, dropped off my stuff, washed up, got a fresh change of clothes, went for class, went to Joanna and Carrie's place @ Barker's for dinner and catch up on gossip of what's been happening over the hols'.... see? super long 1st day back here rite?!

2)had super long days Thurs and fri...

• thurs - went to the City with Joanna before meeting Fred, Henry, George, Carrie and John for dinner. Then met up with Shaun and Mel at Lindt Cafe (Darling Harbour) for choc, ice-creams and cake *burp*
• fri - Fred, John, Carrie and i sent Joanna to the airport :( She's now back in HK... back home...... *sigh* i do miss her so.... funny how i thought i won't really be as badly affected by her leaving for home as Carrie 妹妹 (who's probably her closest friend and was her housemate at Barker's)... but i am affected :( i miss having that understanding, reassuring, comforting girl to turn to... miss you lots Jo *hugs*
• fri evening / nite - loooooong COMPEC meeting in the evening... then had dinner at Ramen-Kan with Fred, Henry and Carrie before going for drinks and Karaoke at Jasmine's farewell at Red Box. That was the night i had far too much wine, vodka and beer all together :p More alcohol when i got home that night (early morning rather... hurhur)... Malcolm, Jeremy and Sophie had a whole bunch of frds over and we were all drinking some more O_o

3)spent Sat. at the APEC2007 volunteer briefing thingy at Westin Hotel. then went shopping with Heidi for this weekend's COMPEC camp Treasure Hunt stuff. then had dinner in the City with the regular grp of peeps (plus Daniel and Ada that evening). i'm glad no one suggested K that night cos otherwise i think i might have just slept on the sofas at Green Box or K-square or wherever.... :p was already sOOOoooooo exhausted by Sat.

4) Sun... what did i do... oh ya! Walked up to Randwick; went to Church. Met the peeps at Barker's... got picked up by John... went to send Jas off at the airport... :( there goes another girlfriend..... back home to SG this one... ah well... waddya know... 2 send-offs in 3 days :( damn sian. Jas, Athena and Ting cried heaps at the airport. i felt like crying too... actually i almost DID cry when Jo left... but somehow, i seem to be able to control myself waaaay better as i grow older... no kidding! i cry ALOT less these days... hurhur... Neways, after sending Jas off, we went to eat at Ramen-Kan again... did a quick round of groceries at Paddy's (it was ridiculously crowded that afternoon!!!), before i hung out at Carrie's place for awhile... then she and Fred came over to my place to hang out for a while more... hurhurhur... we is so bo-liao eh?

5) These past 3 days, i've been to Uni. everyday... swimming, for class, meetings, prep for camp...... it just feels like i've been on my feet all day, all the time! Gosh, tues after classes at 7pm, Mel (Bless her!) even accompanied me up to Coles to bring back to the COMPEC office, 8litres of bottled water for this weekend's camp! Mel and me! Do you have any idea how heavy those bottles were??? Esp to us? Both of us are pretty errm... well, let's just say Mel's really petite ok? Heeeee! Thanks heaps again Mel!

6) been eating out everyday! that means i havent cooked once since coming back.... feels weird!!! no home-cooked food! in the past 8 days, i've had Jap food heaps, Kor, Chinese (Cantonese), Italian, too much chocs. and faaaaaar too much alcohol -_____________-

this weekend i'll be going away to Broken Bay Island. probably the last camp i'll attend as a 'student'..... seriously doubt i'll attend next sem's camp (even if as a Guest). *makes mental note to take heaps of photos*

oh gosh... just read through what i've written above... it all seems like some diary entry... the kind that's meant to record every lil thing for remembrance sake.... oh yuckaaaay! boring!! i duno what to write liao la.... i is tired :p

'Nite.
