| 14th Nov (Sun) Happi Dae!
ONE more day to go before I finally get to meet my dad!!!!! can't wait for Tuesday to come soon...in another 48 hrs to be exact.... sigh....
Anyways, was supposed to write my blog yesterday on something interesting that both Yi and myself witness while in the city yesterday. But before I could get down to writing my blog, ZzZzZzZz monster took me to bed...
Though delayed, here is an account of what happened...
Woke up to a yum breakfast prepared by Yi yesterday morning-eggs, baked beans and sausages... after breakie, we both headed down to the city.. weather was great.. was walking down Northbridge when miraculously enough met Uncle Francis. Got confirmation from him that he will be fetching my parents from the airport and to the wedding... so that is a load off my mind... thank God!
It was kinda late when we arrived in the city, think we walked for about 3 hours when the shops started closing... anyways, here is an account of what I was supposed to write when ZzZz monster took me...
Yi and I were walking down toward Hay street from Red Rooster when we saw this bunch of guys walking in our opposite direction (they were walking toward Target)... but what amuses me and Yi was the way they walk... they were in pairs, had short hair, spoke of S'porean accent and "marching" as they walk... make a guess who they were???? Yep, ARMY BOYS!!!! hahaha it wasn't difficult to identify them coz they were walking so close to each other and were talking, as usual- loudly... think a whole platton of them...
Then... while we were waiting for the Blue Cat at Hay St, we saw the same bunch of them walking back to their hotel... (I think) it was so hilarious... they never dispersed, still walking the same way when we saw them outside Red Rooster... look, what did the army did to our Singaporean guys???!!!!!....to add to the already hilarious situation, we saw a bunch of gals from St Margaret's walking down toward Hungry Jacks.. And how we know they were from St Margaret's... simple... it is almost impossible to miss them... out of the 20 of them, I think 18 of them were wearing their school's windbreaker, (which happens to be green in colour) with the school's logo stiched on the top left hand side..
For a moment, I thought I was back in Singapore.. but I was thrust back into reality when the Blue Cat came... up onto the bus and home we went. Wrapped up the night with a jog and healthy dinner of Salad, pork n Potatoes and creamy pumkin... yum!
Life is about making choices, whether right or wrong...

6th Nov 2004 (Sat) Hatch Day!
Wow! how time flies.... it seemed only yesterday that I celebrated my last birthday and before I get to enjoy the last one, the next one came around... sigh.... why must time pass so fast... may I request for it to stop for me????? OR better still, extend my time into another 24 hours would also do fine...
I must admit that this is the BEST birthday after all these years... thanks to the many people out there who make it happen.... Thanks to 2 x DebbieS, Su, Maryann, Jon, Jean, Cheryl, Joshua  Monica, Geraldine, Carly AND of course not forgetting my dearest Ni, Yi and Adreanna.... hahaha I lurve you all!!! it really came as a surprise for me, thought that I could make it low-key... I guess after you reach a certain age, you wouldn't want to be reminded of birthdays anymore....*grin grin* they mean nothing more than... you are getting older!!!! urggh!!! anyways, this has got to be the 1st best birthday spent in Perth! Thanks for making this so memorable for me... To make what I have to say more interactive, here's a spoof to scenes from an execution..... enjoy! (borrow copyrights for one day lah)
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 1* (Garden City,5pm)
Was completely zonked out after an ice cream trip down to Garden City...must be the sugar in the ice cream that made me sleepy... took some photos and headed home....
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 2* (Home, 5.30pm)
Threw myself onto the bed once I got home... was attempting to read my book when my eyelid grew heavier... I decided to put the book down to rest for a minute before proceeding on... however, that minute never came about and before I knew it, I was fast asleep...
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 3* (Bed, 7pm)
Was awaken by Ni for dinner... Adreanna supposedly "cooked" dinner for us... not suspecting anything, Ni suggested that I change into a "Nice blouse" as she will be taking some photos...still in a daze, I did just that... was told that my hair was messy... , Ni "offered" to comb my hair for me... and before I knew it, I was blindfolded!!!!
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 4* (Kitchen, 7.15pm)
I was BADLY "guided" by Ni down the hallway steps into the kitchen for my "dinner"... yes, still blindfolded.. I was fed with pieces of meat and was "quizzed" on the type of meat.... *evil* had 3 pieces of meat (pork) and a forkful of cabbage and tomatoes and I thought I could take off my blindfold... but.... NO!!!!! I was told to turn to the right and before I could take another step, Ni was putting my sandals on for me...
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 5* (Car, 7.45pm)
Ok, I was thrown into the backseat of the car and was told that I was going to be "sold" to this man in his 60s, balding, beer belly, armpit hair, molely and a S*X M*^^IC!!!!!.... I was literally screaming in the car, hoping to catch some attention from passsing public, but to no avil... I am all alone... while the conversation between Ni and Adreanna continued about the buyer, my fears grew... how could they bear to sell me away???!!!
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 6* (lost track of time...)
Adreanna was going round and round and I just lost track of time and direction... it was a terrible feeling to be oblivious to your surroundings and being told that you are taken to be "sold" away... After much turnings, we finally reached the "destination" for the "transcation" to take place... Opening the car door, I heard little kids voices.... that sort of calm me down a little.... walking on with the blindfold, I held Ni very tightly to organize my steps... each step I take, I felt like falling... it was the insecurities in me that was taking its toll on me... I learnt an invaluable lesson here, all your insecurities are unfounded if you learn to trust... As I walk, I could hear the sound of waves closing in... I feel even more at ease... the next step I took, I could feel the sand trapped in my sandals... ooooo.... I love the feeling!!!
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 7* (Restaurant-Char Char Bull)
After all that curiosity from passer bys with my blindfold on... (thank gosh this is OZ, I'll be attracting public attention if this was S'pore!) I was finally ushered into the restaurant... yes, with blindfold still on... I think the dinners must be so entertained as they watched me sashay my way through with the "help" from Ni....
*Scenes from a Kidnap, Scene 8* (Oysters Kilpatrick)
I couldn't take my blindfold off immediately even as I was seated down.... It was agonising and I started to fidget around with cutlerys I could lay my hands on... after 5 mins, I couldn't feel anything around me anymore... Ni had kept all the cutlerys out of reach from me... hahaha after sitting there for what seem like years, I felt something hot being put in front of me.... I was not allowed to take my blindfold off yet... In the next second, someone took off my blindfold and what was sitting in front of me was half a dozen of oyster Kilpatrick!!! yum... how wonderful! thanks sweets (Ni, Adreanna, Yi)
And the rest as they say, is history I never expected anything like this, it really came unexpected! I thought lunch (yum mee sua) was "the" surprise, but not anything like this... I am really at a loss of words... This has been the most exciting part of my life so far and I am already starting to miss the time when I have to leave Perth, for when that time comes, I know it is time for me to leave all my friends and goodbyes... I hate to say goodbyes... But before that fateful day comes, I would like to say... I love all of you! thanks for the blessings and friendship... may it continue to grow and nurture...
May the force be with you.... |

| 21st Oct (Thurs) Shortie fringe
Had a "minor" trim to my firnge last nite, and needless to say, it turned out pretty nice... *grin grin* hahaha consoling myself? I really dunnoe... my housemates cum friend complimented that it was nice, but I still have to face the rest of the world to know if it really is... hahaha
Didn't know what hit me, but I just had the sudden urge to cut my fringe and I was glad I did it... coz I will never know how I look with a short fringe until I try rite???? it was kinda weird looking at myself in the mirror with my short fringe minutes after cutting it away... I had short fringe 2 years back, but the experience that I went through was pure horrendous..Imagine this, the minute I stepped out of the salon, I was complaining all the way, and my ex had a hard time trying to convince me that it looked okay, which I obviously didn't believe him then! hahaha Anyways, he spent one whole week trying to console me, even while he was still in camp... coz I refused to go out! hahaha looking back, it was really hilarious...him putting up with my nonsense, I really appreciate it so much, and feel so blessed then!
I am really greatful that I was able to experience the feeling of being blessed in this lifetime, thank you. I've learnt alot of things in the process, and I was glad that I was given the opportunity. I could sense the presence of God beside me all this while, he was with me thrughout my ups and downs. He has never failed me, he always amuses me...
Sometimes, I feel that God has planned my whole life for me, and his plan is starting to unfold in bits now. With so many wonderful things happening to me, what more can I ask... I am just so delighted to know that he included me in his plan. Being the me two years ago, or maybe more, I would be frustrated if I had to wait so long to achieve something. But, all that wait has hone me into someone more appreciative of things around me which I usually take for granted.
I guess all this comes with age, spending 2?? years of my life with my parents, I was suddenly thrust into being alone, with no familiar face in a foreign land to defend on my own. Boy, was it tough... all the challenges I went through alone, was just scarey.. But before I let myself dwell into self pity and sadness, I cheered up at the thought of my dad.. He is always the bright light that I see at the end of the tunnel. *baby grin* I think I drew much of my strength from him..thank you God for sending me my dad, he is really my everything.. I love you daddy!
Till we meet again, I am going to draw energy from my beauty sleep now!
May the force be with you!

| 16th Oct (Sat) - Lazy dae!
I had the best sleep in my life todae! woke up amazingly at 1pm. Had a quick breakfast; scones and raisin buns with a cup of pipping hot chocolate milk, which was rather satisfying...
The weather today was awesome, probably a great time to hang out at the beach with some friends or body board... hahaha.... as I was having breakfast with YiYi, a silly thought just flashed through my mind... hahaha *cheeky wink* well, I just had the sudden urge to change into my bathing suit and jump outside the yard with a storybook and a glass of cold lemonade... hahaha
I know that was kinda silly, but I harboured that thought for some time now, and I will probably do it when summer comes... it is a promise I made and I will definitely want to get down to it! hahaha
Gonna get a bronzy tan before school terms starts next year...a healthy glow to the new sem! hahaha but for now, I have to shed some unwanted kilos... it is gonna be tough...stress... hoping to find khakis to join me in any forms of exercise... hahahah I desperately, seriously need to lose some weight and tone up for summer... God, if you are listening to me now, please help me... if you can't make me slim, please make all my friends fat... hahahah ok, I know I am public enemy one now for having said that! But friends, you know I love you all regardless...
To start off the "healthy campaign", Ni, Yi and myself went for a jog in the evening... the weather was fine and we had a smooth run. Dinner was Alio Alio, yum tomato carrot soup, leftover kom pao chicken and herbal winey chicken! sumptous dinner, but even better was the company! thanks gals! love you all! *muak*
After-dinner entertainment was watching <I am with Lucy?> literally a dumb blonde, romantic comedy... doesn't really have a fantastic storyline, one of those "happily ever after" s*it that will not and probably not exist in reality... hahaha anyways, it was one of the few shows that will give you a reality check...
Hmm.... but for those guys out there interested in one of my fren, Geraldine, please go watch the movie and... ahem... propose to her the way "Banny" did.... oh...another hint, asking Geraldine to buy a HDB flat as a sign of a wedding proposal is a NO NO... TABOO! hahaha Get it?!
Agreeing with her on this point, GUYS.... please make use of your RIGHT BRAIN when you are proposing... some novelty will be much appreciated here... I can assure you that you will be the talk of the town thereafter! hahaha
Time to ponder...
Nitie!

| Thurs (14th Oct) - No class dae
A little bit of sunshine and a little bit of love.... that was what I woke up to this morning... had the sweetest dream ever... hahaha hmm... a sign from God? or was it just me? Never mind the answer, I woke up with a smile this morning and I am thankful for that...
Missing home now and wondering what the people in Singapore are doing right now.. really miss my dad loads... can't wait to run up to him and hug him tight! *like a small gal tugging a teddy bear in hand, running up to daddy* I will do that on the 16th Nov when I fetch my parents from the airport...
Counting down the days till I get to see him.. how I wished that it would be tomorrow... I miss his smile, his laughter, his presence, his warmth, his kindness and so much more... he is the reason why I am doing all these... my dad only deserves the best in life and I want to make sure that he will only deserve the best. All the sufferings that I go through now is nothing, I will go through mountains and earths just for him... only for him... I love my dad.. and I am thankful to God for bringing us together.. thank you!
I feel very down now, almost reaching the ground... I just hope to get through this semester fast. can't wait to run back to my dad and share a plate of chicken briyani with him...
I know that I can run back to my dad anytime and he will always be there to catch me when I fall...
Time to relax, gonna slack a little before I decide what to do next...
May the force be with you..
