Awesome week

Today has been the MOST eventful day ever!!!

No wait..

That's not right...

Strike that out..

This week has been pretty eventful anyway although there's a few days to go before the week come to an end.

From being annoyed at one of my group mate for making us wait for his reply since we really need his student ID and the printers in the uni are all fucked up today, just when we really need it. So yeah, I was rather moody this morning with all the waitings.

Anyhoo, for the first time, I submitted my assignment rather late (after most of my classmates have handed in theirs), although I did submit it before the deadline which is 4 hours later after I submitted ours (group work, again, I hate group work).

Then Carmen drove Jyun and I to Pyramid for lunch with the rest of the classmates. The close knit group, but this time, we were lunching with the extended group (bird gang, no pics of the group with me, one day I'll post it up). Lunch was yummy, surprisingly. And it's my first proper chinese lunch with the classmates and I had RICE for lunch (which is rather rare for me to have rice during lunch or when I am out with the classmates).

After that, we "lou sang". I stole pics from Clarissa aka da jie:

After

Later, I hung out with my bestie and her boyfriend, Tony. Has heaps of fun with those two! And fyi, it's my first time hanging out with my bestie when she's with her boyfriend properly. Nice guy he is. I approve 150%!!*winks*

Even had my dose of Dark Mocha from Starbucks after ages, thanks to Tony!!!*grins*

The keeper got me my mocha for the past 2 days (thankyouverymuch, sunshine) since for the past 2 days, I spent such long hours at campus and so lil time sleeping..(except for last night, I KO-ed when I got back till this morning (overslept=X)

Bestie and I have this fascination for charm bracelet. We spot this really nice one at Empire just now, it has the things we like on it (bookes and dogs) but it's gold in colour. I don't like gold accessories. Bestie and I agreed that we like the bronze kind of accessories since it looks antique. I am a sucker for antique looking stuff when comes to accessories. I like looking at them although I don't own any. Charm bracelets are one of my weakness since I like looking at them, besides book but I like to own books.

I have all the books that I want in my collection, except for a few which are really costly. My partner in crime aka the keeper also has a fetish for books too. As nerdy as I may sound when I mention this, but I love hanging out with the keeper at the bookstore and I know he loves it as much as I do=)

My cousins flew back to Aussie last weekend. My cousin bro were pretty sad when he's about to leave that he teared=(

Jun Shen & Jun Yi, do come back soon alryte? Or maybe if I have the time, I can drop back Melbourne to hang out with both of you!*grins*

Sigh. I miss Melbourne.

I just finished drinking my dark mocha (Tony's treat) and I am craving for more. My mom doesn't like it though. I told her she's too old to enjoy such drinks..XD

Yesterday, a speaker got invited to talk to us about exotic pets. I am currently studying about pets behaviour as part of my subject for my 3rd sem, hence it comes in handy to learn about stuff like handling exotic pets and other stuff about exotic pets. We even get to play with lizards after the talk!! And also snakes!*grins* Lizards are such beautiful animal=D Not the house lizards fyi. Next week we'll get to see Dr Saga feeding the snake! Iabsolutelycan'twaittowitnessthat!

One of the lizards that we played with was the one below:)

I think it's called Gheko lizard=D

Gotta stop ranting now, havta get something done.

Till then..

Girls night out

Yours truly had a night out at Christine's place, her childhood friend=)

Here's Christine.

We ordered pizza and chatted for hours, besides fooling around with her new camera=)

She has this super awesome camera and I wish I have that for myself=(

Louisa and I, also my childhood friend

And we had yummy Big Apples doughnuts too=)

♥

And I'll be off to uni for my 3rd semester, which will also be my final first year semester before I move on to my 2nd year!

*inhales exhales*

I should be ready for my new semester by tomorrow.

hopefully

Spent my last day of break with the keeper.

What other better way to end my break with=)

David Archuleta - Parachutes and Airplanes (Mialani Cover)

Wanted to post that up here the other day..

But it slipped off my mine after I tweeted about it.

This song is equally amazing.

David Archuleta - Something 'Bout Love

David's new single is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!

"There's something 'bout love

That breaks your heart

Whoa oh oh oh

It sets you free"

Dear ma

I always grow up thinking that my mom is a super mom.

I will be turning 19th in the month of September this year..

But that perception of all mum's being a super mummy is still embedded in my mind.

My mom is the provider, chef, advisor, teacher, accountant, and the radio of the family.

She might work for hours in the day..

And got back home rather late at night..

But she will never fail to drop by my room just to ask me how am I doing in school.

She was the one who taught us to love each other as siblings..

Hence, its not a surprise when you see me choosing my siblings over my friends to hang out with.

I don't care if some of you think its not cool and stuff..

But I have such cool siblings.

And all thanks to my mum,

All three of us get along really well..

My mom taught me loads about life and about people.

She doesn't just tell me how things are like in the real world,

But she showed me what is it like in the real world.

You can't blame me for being a realist cause I've been nurtured from young that life isn't a fairy tale.

My independent self,

Is also a result of my mom's nurture..

I've been taught to stand up for myself..

To have my own thoughts..

And not to be afraid to walk alone when the crowd turned their back at you.

She defended me when I needed someone to be there to stand by me..

I remember how she used to defend me whenever I got myself into trouble in school.

She bear my pickyness, my temper, and my stubborness..

And I think my mom is the only human on earth who knows how am I like when I am all tempremental at home.

Indeed, I am still a little girl to my ma.

And with my ma around..

I feel safe.

But my ma did tell us that she can't be with us forever..

Hence, we were all trained to depend on ourselves and to treat each other well

(me and my siblings)

My mother thought me a lot about respecting myself and preserving my dignity,

For that, I can't help but to thank her for that.

I love you ma^^

So sorry for the loss..

Ah kong is in a better place now.

Happy Mother's Day!^^

Thank you again for being such a wonderful mummy.

♥♥♥♥♥

Melbourne Part 9

Right, this is my ninth post that is based on my trip to Melbourne..
I am gonna wrap the whole trip up real soon..
Bet you guys got sick of my endless photographs that I took during my trip..
Thank goodness my camera don't have a bigger memory for me to snap more photographs..
=X

This post is all about my trip to Phillip Island..
It is a 3 hours journey from the city(if I am not mistaken)..
I love Phillip Island so so sooooo much!
Its the prettiest beach that I've been to..
Well, I don't travel much..
But so far..
That's the most breathtaking beach ever..
I mean..
The island has such amazing scenery..
Not that St Kilda's beach wasn't pretty..
It is, but man..
Phillip Island *in a super dreamy tone*
*sigh*
I love that island.

We arrived at a farm...
And spent our noon there..
There's where I get my first experience looking at sheeps and wallaby..
Well they don't have sheeps in Malaysia do they?

Horses, a pretty common animal in Aussie..

Wallaby!

I don't really like the sight of that though..

But I absolutely like watching those working dogs at work!^^
Dogs are such intelligent animal.
Not forgetting, they are men's best friend!=p

These dogs at work, they will look after the sheeps for their owner..

Well, they will be sitting there watching those sheeps until they get their instructions from their owners that its okay for them to leave those sheeps alone. And if their owners forgotten about them or if the weather turns sour, you bet the dogs will not move an inch from where they are. Such dedicated, loyal and reliable animal don't you think?

Except for my dog at home is intelligent in his very own way. For instance, my dog knows when its mealtime and if anyone of us at home forgotten about his meal time, he'll bark at us demanding for food, he wouldn't stop barking until we gave him its meal. He will usually wait for us to be back home for him to finish his meals, usually we'll feed him before we leave home just in case we'll come back late, but he'll wait for us to come back home so that he can gobble up his food in our presence. And my dog hates strangers which is good in so many ways. Though its just a lil shih tzu, but its fierceness can definitely prevent anyone from breaking into our home. Plus I don't havta worry about him being dognapped (no such word exist, but I invented it myself ) by some strangers.

I am a dog lover and a cat hater.
Though I used to play with kittens a lot during my schooling days..
Cats are ANNOYING.

KOALAS!
Oh my!
They are such ADORABLE lil thing!
So cuddly and so cuddly?
Anyway, I thought I wouldn't get the opportunity to see how is a koala like in real life..
Since, I didn't thought we'll be heading to the wild.
Oh, and did I tell you that I absolutely lurve the wild?
I didn't wanna go to the Melbourne zoo..
Or the Melbourne Aquarium..
Though that the place where tourist would love to go to when they are in Melbourne..
Except, I hate to see those animals behind cages or those huge aquariums.

Its so depressing looking at those animals or sea creatures having their freedom taken away from them. Hence, you'll expect no photographs of me paying a visit to the zoo or the aquarium place..

Good thing that the tour guide brought us to the Koala sanctuary.
Though I don't get my chance to hold those koalas, but I am happy enough to be able to see them live in front of my very own pair of eyes.=D

Most of them are hibernating..
But there are a couple that are actively awake..

Dropped by the chocolate factory!
Nothing much in there, but there are yummy chocolates for us to purchase!=p

Then we headed over to this place called the..
I forgot...
=X
But we get to see seals there(sorta) and penguins..
I didn't know those lil birds are penguins cause I thought penguins are supposed to be big.
Buthen they are such cute little thing and I saw heaps of them peeking through their lil homes(holes to be exact) and staring at me.
You havta be really quiet if you want them to come out from their holes,
They are such shy creatures.

Beautiful isn't it?
Its prettier on the other side..
I walked all the way to the other side and wow man..
The breeze was so strong that it almost blew me off,
But its worth the walk there..

It has such AMAZING scenery and I find myself having to remind myself to breathe properly when I look at that incredibly beautiful scenery.

Yeap, the water is THAT blue-ish..
I can even see the corals from where I'm standing..
*sighs*
My parents should really go to that place..
I got a feeling that they too will be mesmerized with that amazing scenery..
Mom, dad I'll make sure you guys get to be there one fine day..

After that, dinner at the penguin parade place..
Then around eight-ish..
My grandparents and I headed over to the penguin parade place..
Where we got to catch another breathtaking view of those little penguins,
Or fairy penguins or blue penguins..
Parading along the beach..
We are not allowed to capture any photographs of the parade, which explains why I do not have any more photographs of that incredibly sight that I'd witnessed with so many other people who were there..
The penguins were predicted to waddle their way to the shore at about 8.30pm..
But if I am not mistaken, we managed to catch the sight of those penguins at about 8.45pm.

The waves were strong that evening and I can see those little penguins struggling to get their little feet on the shores. A group of them will swim their way to the shore, for swept again by the waves and find their way again to the shore..

Then they'll waddle together in a small group to their respective lil homes...
Along our way back to where I had my dinner at initially..
Those penguins were waddling next to us..
And its such an adorable sight that you couldn't help but to go awwww at those penguins.
They are so tiny and cute, and they are smaller than my teddies!

My grandparents love looking at those penguins and the wild animals..
Its like my first time seeing both of their eyes lightning up at something..
Like there's a true glimmer on their eyes when you see them both looking at those wild animals..=)
Cause when we were at the Great Ocean, my grandpa said we traveled all the way there to look at rocks!(Its the 12 apostles by the way)

We reached our aunt's place that night at 12am-ish.
I still remember that day so clearly and I managed to sorta type it all out here in sequence, from the part where we arrived at the island and stuff..
I might left out something, but they are probably not important so I couldn't recall..XD
