Oh yea I know I haven't updated for an uber long time. I always promised to do it whenever I can and whenever sumthink different and new happened but I haven't been able to actually sit down and complete a paragraph. So much has happened. It's been tiring and just doing everything. Busy busy larr. And my internet connection also not very good la. If you know me then you'll know why haha. This is just an entry to prove that I'm not dead yet, far from it haha. Just missing in action for a lil while la. Understand sikit la.
Anyways today was the first day of uni. Our econ1202 lect is damn cute la. Too bad his married di. All the garls are like wow!
Just the whole experience of uni life, I joined I'm not sure how many societes la but a lot. MSO of course, ecosoc, choc lovers club, french, wrestling?, young entrepeneurs, and muches more la. O-week was a blast! Hahaha esp the freebies. I guess just the experience of meeting new ppl, a feeling of deja vu everytime you see someone, like hey I've met this fella before. The newness, the connections and all, you'll realise this world isn't as big as you thought.
Somehow everybody is connected.
I've moved into a new apartment already. Its a 3br place. A whole Malaysian affair. The owner of the unit is Malaysian. Living inside, 3 Malaysian tenants. Right in the heart of Sydney. Well not in the heart la, sumwhere close larh.
They're cooking soup today. I'll just pop over and see if our kitchen is still in its original position. :)
Next entry will have lots of pics, everything I tell you. But for now, let's see what the guys are up to.

As Chinese New Year emerges from round the corner..
Its Sunday, this Sunday.
Where, for the first time in my life, I'm celebrating CNY away from home. In Australia.
I haven't felt homesick once, it's been two weeks, but not ONCE did I feel so far away and so absent, so distant, from Msia. But suddenly it all came back to me. When they were discussing where and what to do and who's house to go to this CNY. Or Chinatown maybe?
Somehow I feel like there is not enough emotion, not enough mood, like no feel la know what I mean? for culminating in the joyous festivities of CNY here.
CNY here?? NNNOOOOOO. Just doesn't feel right. Ishhh me very jealous of Jac, JiaHui n Ruth cuz they're all gonna have a chance to celebrate it right before they come Down Under for studies.
Getting more jealous now.
What I'm missing out these year, seemed like nothing and such a pain-in-the-ass before this, but now when you don't have it, you just think back of the old times and how you had so much fun doing it before :
- Long, way long before the CNY is the CNY shopping of course. New clothes for the new year! Isn't that simple enough? Damn, should've done it when I was in KL before I left. Now I have no new CNY clothes. Hmmph. Oh yea I have new ones, but they're not for CNY. Its just not enough feel la, where can? Must plan before buying CNY clothes wan wat. Evbd knows that. Not sum random ones which u justspent ur education fees on bought what rite?
- On lin sa a man, reunion dinner of course. Which CNY dinner is complete without all the members of your giant, hyper-extended family ?
- After dinner, we return to our respective homes and do the angpow wrapping. I dunno about other families la, but its mostly me n my sis that will help Mum n Dad with the angpows. Now, now. Which cousin gets which angpow. Which friend gets which one. All we do wan, u know. Don't mess. My sis and I. Except our own ones la o cuz.. Otherwise we'll freely chuck in another or a few other green or purples if u know what I mean.
-After dinner, rushing to temple at 11pm every CNY eve, squeezing in and out of Chi Cheong Kai just to get parking space.
-Meeting all the relos again at the temple.
- Masuk temple only, damn crowded and stupiak shorties dunno how to hold jossticks properly, and smoke gets in your eyes. No not the song but like seriously. Everybody tears when they come out of the temple. The thing is nobody is emoing.
- I decided to be smart and from last year onwards I wore my glasses to the temple. Haha still teared but not as bad.
- Have a chit chat after that, deciding where to have supper. Makan again. This family arhh, neva stop eating wan. Which Hokkien mee would it be this time?
"You wanna go to the one at Jln So and So or you want the one at Jln This and That?"
"Hmm So and So is only number 2 in KL la, nothing beats the Jln Blabla"
The talk continues and in the end it gets too late to even order, they would've been closed already.
- But the clock would've struck midnite already and somehow the adults meet their long lost friends in temple. Reward : kids get their first angpows of the day. Lurvly.
- And you know the famous old tradition, no sweeping, cleaning on 1st day for fear that it might sweep all the luck, fortune and prosperity away.
fook
- Wake up, get our second catch of angpows. Who else but from the parental units. Hehe.
- Ohh then the best part, the best part. Visiting and mengada-ngada la. From one house to another. Family to relos to friends. Angpow collection increasing after every house visited. Weight also. Somehow they just serve the best food.
- Oh yea, evbd in our family is vegetarian for the first half of the first day of CNY. It was supposed to be the whole day, but you know us carnivores can't take that, so our sentence was reduced to just half a day being a vegan and sek chai. PHEW! How could we possibly miss Auntie Lily's Nasi Kunyit and Rendang. And Kari Ayam. And Achar. And all those Indian delights which I can't remember the name of. YES, yes. All this on the first day of CNY. I know its not Hari Raya or Deepavali but our family works in mysterious ways.
- We meet lotza long-lost relatives too.
- WE gamble until the morning comes. BE it big or small. Evbd is a lan tou kuai. Last year we also learnt a new gambling card game, with much higher stakes than chor dai di. Who plays chor dai di anymore neways? Not heng anymore laaa. The new one, tou tei ju, (battle the landlord) we learnt in Guangzhou is the ultimate. 2 versus 1 in a high-risk, skill-involving, card game. Those with weak hearts and are unable to take loss easily, I rather you not try. I'll teach you la, when I come back.
- And after all that is done and we all go home and rest. Its time for us to do the giving. Its a neighbourhood tradition la. Hard to comprehend. But what we do is we give angpows to our two closest next door neighbours, both Malays. And some kam too I think. Maybe cookies too? I dunno how this started, but we do it every year and that's why we get angpows and food and cakes sometimes during Hari Raya and Deepavali. And invitations to their open houses. Quite fun ehh? Exchange exchange and all.
I'm so gonna miss all these mann. I need to head out to Chinatown. I need civilisation. I need CNY.
Ayakz, miss last year also when Ah Teh and I celebrated our bday's on CNY. His was on the first day of CNY, whereas mine was on the second. But I wondered why I had no luck gambling arh, that year?
I'm booking my flight ticket. I am definitely going to be in KL for CNY 08.
But to everybody reading this now, be it Chinese or non, Gong Hey Fatt Choi. May this be a wealthy, healthy and prosperous, not to mention great year to all.
Love,
Lee Na.

Of sickness and no mood-ness
Eish. I've been down these couple of days due to few reasons :
1. I bath late, therefore
2. I dry my hair late, by which,
3. I sleep late
4. The weather's been at 19 at night these few days, where I just walk around in a sleeveless or sometimes short sleeve tee, instead of jumpers and sweaters. I get cold.
5. Before I sleep I'm already like clinging to the sheets for dear warmth
6. I accidentally turn the air-cond on despite the weather being chilly
7. Wake up, feeling pissed off, tired and frozen.
8. I drink very little water here.
Effects of the above :
1. I have a sore throat
2. I have a cough
3. I have a blardy cold
4. I'm starting to get a fever
5. I can't eat my favourite food, in fear of making myself worse
And because of all that, nowadays I don't get a proper sleep. Most of the time I wake up blur and confused. Today, ayakz the pre-enrolment briefing. Sposed to be at 9.30. Soz lots, reach there at 10. Nth la, BORING!! Only perk is that free food, equals a sandwich, an apple, and bottled water. Good enufff.
Yea then Guan decides to wanna go check out the Queer Lounge, haih of all places. I tell you it was HIS idea. Yea TOTALLY his. I was just temaning him you know, in case he gets lost or sth marr:-) But I didn't think that they were actually gonna be queer ppl there la. What/??!! A place where they meet and chat up? And erm, discuss their feelings ?! Woah, just way too much for me.
I thought Queer was just a name. Like maybe the place has cool, futuristic, artso stuf ya know? Who would've thought uni could be so liberal? Try to do sth liddat in Malaysia, die mann. And so we had to search for the location online. A bit the malu la you know, ask ppl, "Would you know where the Queer lounge is?" Sure they'll give The Eye or sth. Better not, better not. Otherwise say goodbye to dignity :)
And so we decided to look for it online and at the mean time check out the library also lah. Good, good. Free Internet. And your normal printers, scanners and all that la. The library is BIG. Haha found QL! Applied Sciences building, Level 9! then jalan, jalan and couldn't find it on the map. Map is not updated. Ishh. Because UNSW changes its landscape ever so often, newer buildings are put up, older ones, demolished. The most recent one, the Law faculty. It has the nicest, ultramodern, and state-of-the-art architecture. In UNSW, there's just somewhat a comfortable blend in between the two; both ancient, pre-historic buildings(nola, not so bad)which were here since the uni was set up in 49, and also the modern ones, which gives a touch of splendour just to put everything in its place, where it belongs.
Just a preview of the canggih manggih Law building I was talking about.
What was I saying mann ? yes, map wasn't updated. But that's where Applied Sciences building was supposed to be. Only, what stood in its place now was a super canggih building called Chemical Sciences. Dunno la, must be the one. Jalan jalan found these two old pre-menopausal women discussing where to makan or sth, decide to ask them where the Applied Sciences are.
Hmm,
"Excuse me, where is the Applied Sciences building ?"
"You ARE in the App Sci building, but if you want Chem Sci blablablabla...
What are you actually looking for?"
"*blush* Ohhh, no we're not looking for anything. Just wanted to check out the building.." "No, no. Where are you planning to go ? Because the Chem Sci building is on the other side" "Oh, we're not looking for anything specific. Its just that we wanted to get familiar with the building and layouts only"
"But WHERE are you planning to go? Are you 1st years?"
"Yes, we are. But thanks, just wanted to explore the building and get to know the area" (Malu, malu faster walk mannn)
(Mumbles to herself when walking away)
"These first years....."
But so we did get to the Lounge, only thing was that it was closed. Took a detour round the block to avoid ever seeing that woman again, tq very much. They open at particular times only, damn. There's a different time session for queer girls, queer boys, and queer mixes.
:s.
Haha, must definitely check it out again when its open! But neways, its 1.11a.m now, tired, gotta buy all my uni books tmr at 9. Blerkz, dunno can wake up anot. Will continue update tmr!

Tribute to G3 – truly one-of-a-kind class (ehem) and classmates YOU wished you had...
One whole year at Taylors 
Haha I know I'm bird shitting again ok ? *winks*
Haha I know that sometimes we are referred to as the graveyard :s. Too quiet apparently. And one fine day when evbd is all rowday, the lects ask us to tone down again. What la. What do they want from us mannn?
I also know that others do look down at this class. Jealous of smarts maybe ? But at the end of the day, these ppl are the ones that gain RESPECT in life. 10 years down the road, you see la. All our graduate doctors and dentists. Being with this class generally just challenges you, you always wanna do better. Talking bout that, I don’t care arrh, I’m gonna get BIG discount when next time I come and visit you arh. I don’t care. All you future brain and heart surgeons. Hmmph. Seems like I’m the only one who is switching to commerce. Major decision here, hope it’s the right one. =) Never enjoyed bio. Hmmph.
From L to R 3rd row, descending downwards.
Joshua – Groupie from ESL research. For sum reason, rmb passing notes on what questions to ask each other. Nonsense betul.
GChuan – Cute fella la. When he smiles, his eyes form a straight line.
Dumex – Chem lab partner. Ahaha went thru plenty of shite with this fella.
Wilson- Prom king nominee. Thanks for temaning me until 5 sth that day when u didn’t have to.
David- Ehem, couple di =) Extremely cute. Both of them actually look so cute 2geda. Damn smart, doctor material but talks nonsense at times.

SAnn – The only garl that stands as tall as me. She’s slightly taller. Haha support edusmart! And dear, he’s not from G3 okay. You’re not psychic.
Ball-deep – First Kaur girl I got to know. Not a nerd, but extremely smart anyways. What do these ppl eat anyways ?
Bev – The other half, quieter one, and talks more softly and feminine-ly.
Jac – Slightly shy, but if you get to know her, she’s not really. Remember those times we dressed in trad clothes? Haha embarrassing la weii. But still enjoyed it.
HWei – Lyn’s bestie ?!
Piriya- Very cute, and one of the prettier Indian garls, IMO. Haha and rmb the times when we were like the only ones who attended the extra class ? Ayoh, maluness.
Nalls – I don’t care you better come down to Syd ar.. Otherwise I’m personally gonna head down south to kenakan you. This garl is da best laa. Eyy I still haven’t bought my Punjabi suit yet lehhh

Lucks in your future endeavours and undertakings, hope you find the right one in your life, and have like a thousand kids or sth.
If I said or did anything wrong, soz lots.
But I still want my discount okayy?!!?Haha I know I'm bird shitting again ok ? *winks*
A year older : not so much wiser but finally sees things from a different perspective...
I'm 18 today! Thanks uber muches to everybody who wished me all through yesterday (hmmph) where can cheat wan ? And today too, through sms, msn, friendster and esp in person =).
Specially you dear =) The first, but you cheated! K la, you didnt.
Woke up very late today thanks to late night online time..
Went to East Gardens today. I saw this shop, supposed to be a pre-autumn sale. I must not spend money. A lot of ppl in Australia told me that they don't or hardly shop in Aus, with the exception of Ebay. But this are guys la. You know garls are diff, find it just a lil harder to resist temptation. Just a lil.
Must control. Went in to the shop, was checking out four items. Not proud at all, was resisting the urge haha. Thinking, calculating, converting, planning how long and whether these would be a worthy investment, a long term plan maybe ? How long would it last? Should I get it ? Or not ?
This is not Malaysia okayy. In Malaysia no need to think wan. But this, being here, prices hiked up by 300% n all.. Must think a bit la.
Those were prettay tops. 3 tops n a jacket. Maybe if I just buy these four tops, I would be saving a lot for my future Haha. having said that, I was thinking that I shan't buy any others anymore. Not for a VERY, VERY long time. Long term investment plan. 4 tops should be alright mar rite ?
I see my future in a major in finance going well.
Hmm, after that, took a bus back home to Kingsford. This time I had six tops. Don't ask.
Equals no more clothes for an even longer time. Sighs.
My birthday dinner later equals a dinner at "Pancakes on The Rocks". Food there is awesome. 10 minute queue to actually get a table, but it was well worth it. Full. Walked to the Sydney Opera House. Touched it. Yes, you can actually go up and touch it. Splendid architecture. Sydney is famous for this anywayys. This place is breathtakingly gorgeous esp when its the first time you actually see it in real life, and not in the pics. But being the blur one, I forgot to bring camera damn. So took not-so-remarkable pics with my camera phone. Dont worry D520, still love you. Totally unwilling to part with it despite having the chance to get a new and more high tech and pricey for phone for FREE. Optus Postpaid. Hmms.
Nvm la, since I can't upload pics from my phone yet, I just found a random one online la. What did I tell you ?
Wished you were here, didn't ya?
Sydney Opera House by night
Specially you dear =) The first, but you cheated! K la, you didnt.

Hmm, after that, took a bus back home to Kingsford. This time I had six tops. Don't ask.
Equals no more clothes for an even longer time. Sighs.
My birthday dinner later equals a dinner at "Pancakes on The Rocks". Food there is awesome. 10 minute queue to actually get a table, but it was well worth it. Full. Walked to the Sydney Opera House. Touched it. Yes, you can actually go up and touch it. Splendid architecture. Sydney is famous for this anywayys. This place is breathtakingly gorgeous esp when its the first time you actually see it in real life, and not in the pics. But being the blur one, I forgot to bring camera damn. So took not-so-remarkable pics with my camera phone. Dont worry D520, still love you. Totally unwilling to part with it despite having the chance to get a new and more high tech and pricey for phone for FREE. Optus Postpaid. Hmms.
Nvm la, since I can't upload pics from my phone yet, I just found a random one online la. What did I tell you ?
Wished you were here, didn't ya?
Sydney Opera House by nightWednesday, February 07, 2007
I know this is long overdue, ...but...
And so I decided to update bout my whereabouts and what I've been up to these couple 'a days.
I arrived in Sydney, its bee-yoo-ti-ful and I haven't even been to the city yet.
Alright and so I packed my bags all ready to go off. But I did have excess baggage. Not a lil I tell you. My mum and I totalled 70kgs. Haha hers was bout 10 whereas mine was the rest. I don't know where, what and why the blooday bags were like so heavy. It could've been that the empty suitcases itself totalled bout 12 kgs. Damn.
But hey ABDA is the solution to excess baggage. What they offer for door to airport is just RM17 per kilo with minimum of 15 kgs. No prob la for me, easily exceeded. And that means they collect the baggage from ur house and send it to the airport and you pick it up yourself there. Not bad rite ? Beats paying 72 bucks per kilo for MAS excess and especially if you're the type that doesn't understand the meaning of pack light.
Oh but what's important is that you remember to send it a day or two earlier. Call the ppl to come a day or two earlier cuz if you don't then you'll have to return to the freight/cargo terminal AGAIN. Maafan ness I tell you.
My flight was at 6AM. Stupiak Austrian/Lauda Air or as the relos call it, Laucha Air. This was a transiting flight from Vienna to Sydney, transiting in KL. So basically mine was a direct flight there. I also wanted to try Austrian Air because its a hell lot cheaper and since I've never taken anything but MAS before and also that they were gonna stop flying soon. Might as well lar.
And OMG I've never seen so many guai lous before in KLIA. On the plane, and in the airport were those taking the same flight. And you actually wonder ; where the hell you were and whether you were in Syd already. There were only like 10 Asians on the plane or sth, that's including me and my mum summore kay. Full flight.
What you find on Austrian Air is basically :
- A lot of guai lous and guai pos
- A few lonely students also migrating to Australia, but they really look lost and confused. Even got to know this garl who studied in HELP and turns out we have mutual friends. Gosh its a small world!
- A lotta babies, for some reason. And they're really cute.
- Hot stewardesses with nice RED outfits, whether skirts or pants, with matching red stockings and shoes to boot.
- Old grannies who decide to do yoga in the aisle and when you're flying economy its damn pissing off =). this particular woman exercises and touches her toes and of all places in a plane
- Ppl who step on the armrests to get to their window or middle seats.
Don't blame them really. Its so tight and despite being a B777-200 aircraft, the seats are positioned in such a way that if you're not the type to fall under the category of slim/thin, it would be impossible for others to get into their seats. And so they step all over the armrests to get to their seats. The food is also way better than Mas. At least for me la.
The only thing is that its not really that fun to catch a flight at 6a.m. cuz have to check in by 4 and leave the house at 3 to go to airport. Equals very little sleep. As for me, slept at 10 pm sth the day before only to be woken up at 2am. Sighs not fun at all mann. Received an uber long msg, 7 msges long and super sweet. As always =) That pretty much woke me up. Had tomyam for supper/breakfast at 2am. The most disorientated day of my life basically.
Left for relos, then left for airport togeda. Had plenty-ful of problems at check-in la basically considering all the baggage.
Couldn't sleep at all in the plane due to my over-sensitivity to motion. i.e not being able to sleep in any thing moving, cars, buses, planes, trains and what not.
So got there all bleary-eyed and pissed off. But took a cab out to Liam's place and everything changed. Just the views from inside the cab, the friendly environment, the warm skies, rays of sun shining right through the window was all it took for me to lurv Syd the moment I set my eyes on it. Even if it was only a lil while.
Arrived in Kingsford. The most popular suburb for students going to uni besides Randwick. This suburb is so Asian already. Stores and stores and restaurants of Asian heritage. Everything Asian, ranging from Malaysian, indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, to Vietnamese food. And the food here is actually good. I was looking forward to craving for Malaysian food cuz like I thought when I go to Aus it'll be all western until I get so bored that I will want to just have a lil taste of our Asian culinary delights. Oh wells happy moment and craving over. I find it a lil overwhelming also, how this place has converted into a totally different environment from what it really used to be. Feels like it'd lost its flavour. But somehow only I do, and nobody else is complaining.
Made few trips to uni, its huge and I get so tired just by walking up and down the lower campus. Looks like I can definitely afford to put on more weight cuz somehow I'll lose it by climbing the oh-so-fun Basser Steps. Btw did ya know that the servings here are huge and I have somewhat of a problem trying to gobble it up and stuffing it in, in that tiny tummy of mine. Haha I wish la. Looks like an interesting place where I'm going to spend most of my 4 years here, so why not? And the people on campus, wells basically it doesn't get any more diverse than this. From guys, girls, gays, punks, lesb, old men, soft-spoken na pots, Asians, mat sallehs, the fashion conscious, the nerds, the hot, the not. Neva seen such a mix before.
But there's always gonna be a first time, and somehow I just feel, somewhere deep inside of me, that I'm gonna learn to love this place. :)
Btw never get an Aussie/ Optus prepaid. It finishes like real fast. Used AUD30 for first two days, and another AUD30 for the next two. Ex giler. Missed paying 1 sen for sms. Ish.

Greetings from Sydney babeh!
I wanted to start blogging yesterday, but switching on msn and blogging together is a bad idea. Oh wells, never even got a sentence even done. Today , just now same thing but oh wells. Better than nothing right?
Anyways, I'm in Sydney now. Had a look around the uni and the whole (almost) of kingsford suburb. My tour guides (cousins, oops) all telling..this is..that is..Telling us all the best places to eat and all. You reading this. COME COME to Syd, I'll take you around. Gonna be the expert of all these places.
Neways I'm going out for dinner now and so much for the complete blog. But I'll finish it when I'm on msn later when not so busy. Definitely wanna update on everything.
Oh yea, and I got an Aussie Optus number already. So no need to call me Msian number nemore..Tataz!
Oh btw, did ya know that during summer here, when its 8pm its still bright. Like as though its 5.30 there? Still not used to it. And now 8.30 pm is pitch-black.

In 3 days..
wellls, its only 3 more days. And I don't think I'll be blogging nemore in Msia. For this year la at least. Malas wanna take out my lappie nemore. THIS is going into the bag. with all my other stuff and nonsense. Started a pre-pre-packing test check by throwing some random things in the bag..filled it to the brim and weighed it using the glass weighing scale I use to weigh myself after every meal hehe. 1 bag is only 10 kgs. the other was also 10kgs. Not bad. I see hope. Of course that was just clothes as in tops only but still.. I still have plenty of space if I squash and mash everything a lil better than that..
I thought I was a pro packer since I pack every week when I stay at my relos' to go to Taylors. Haha if you stay in Setiawangsa and you have to travel to Subang Jaya every day, you'll know what a pain-in-the-ass it is la. So every Sunday night, I prepare this TINY luggage bag to stay there for a week.
But turns out I'm not a real pro after all. SO many gaps. Must. Repack.
20 hours later : I pack again, this time its the pre-packing test check. I managed to squash another 4.5 kgs into my first bag. So now I have one that weighs almost 15kgs..
Very very bad.
Not turning out as I wish.
Second bag.
I tried to weigh it, tried to carry it to the weighing scale. My scale is on the other side of the room marr. But dammit, it WON't LIFT! It did, but not much. *Drops bag on the floor*
Plan B. Carry the weighing scale over to the hard suitcase. Ahh, that's much easier.
But it was uber impossible..
I could barely barely lift that bag onto the weighing scale. There could be only 2 reasons why it was so hard for me to lift it.
No.1 I was too weak.
Or 2. it was too heavy.
Dammit, I really wished it was no.1. But ehehe, its not. Although I don't work out or have muscles, ahaha this hard suitcase was really really heavy.
It was 24kgs. Maybe 24kgs doesn't seem like a lot, but when I lifted it up to carry around, ahh can feel it strap breaking. Hope it doesn't. Please lah. I currently have this horrible thought running through my mind, at the airport, I am dragging my luggage when all of a sudden,
PTANG!
The luggage handle crumbles under my little dainty fragile fingers.
Ehh, ehh. Not a very nice thought lorr.
All my things in that bag would come spilling out.
And what's in that bag you ask?
Haha, lots of nonsense. Pairs and pairs of shoes. Not that many la, I just chose my top ten favourites because I know it'll be heavy. Ehehe including winter boots. My God, that pair was like damn heavy weii. I dunno how la.
And stationery. Haha, apparently stationery there is like uber expensive. So I decided to bring half a ream of the double A paper. Maybe that's why it's so bloody heavy. Not to mention test pads, notebooks, calendars and all your average stationery lorr, pens pencils eraser ruler tape glue stapler post-its coloured paper binding combs haha a lot more but I don't feel like disclosing what I brought. No mood di. I brought so much next time in Syd I'll open my own stationery shop and YOU can get it at discounted rates. I really have to get rid of some of that.
What else ? Wells more clothes.
So basically I am in a dilemma. My mum and I have a total bag count at 7 plus a box with rice cooker. I really hope we remember to claim all our things.
I used to laugh when we wait at the conveyer belt for our luggage and suddenly one box of pensonic rice cooker or sth comes out.
Haha but then again I am easily amused.
Bag 1 : clothes
Bag 2 : clothes + shoes + books + stationery
Bag 3 : clothes + bags
I haven't even put in the others, towels, quilts, bedsheets, belts, scarves, underwear, socks, electrical gadgets and all its wires and usb cables and chargers, glasses and not to mention electric toothbrush.
Someone save me please.
I have to pack again, and be constantlytaunted reminded by my oh-so-encouraging Dad..
" Lee Na you don't know how to pack laa. During my time when I went to Melbourne I only brought one bag you know...
...ONE bag!!"
"Not like you.."
"During my time..."
"Nowadays.."
"You better re-pack.."
"Move some of...that.. here"
"don't bring so many clothes la. You..."
"you don't need so much for first year..."
"nyek nyek nyek.. bla bla bla..."
"Excess baggage is verry expensive. You heard bout that woman who paid 2k plus for her extras"..
This is turning out much harder than I thought.
Oh wells, bye evbd! Next time I blog I'll be in Aussie already!

Being part of a fool
I like this lyrics because somehow I feel I can relate to it. (A lot :s)
I've been there before and I just can't let go,
The memories and pain of the hurt I know;
Now deep in the night and there's passion inside,
Dare I follow my heart?
An innocent smile, then a walk in the night,
Then it's dinner at home served with candlelight;
And it's been quite a while since I felt good inside,
Dare I follow my heart?
Do I feel something special inside of you?
Do I know what you really think of me?
And the raindrops keep falling into my heart,
And I just can't deny what feels so right;
Do I let myself go and feel the rain?
Or should I play with caution and refrain?
Whatever I do, when it comes to you,
I know sometimes love plays the part of a fool.
I know what's in store,
though I can't say much more,
A chance worth the taking has opened its doors;
And I can't say I love you, but I can't say I don't,
Oh, I do wish I knew.
Do I feel something special inside of you?
Do I know what you really think of me?
And the raindrops keep falling into my heart,
And I just can't deny what feels so right;
Do I let myself go and feel the rain?
Or should I play with caution and refrain?
Whatever I do, when it comes to you,
I know sometimes love plays the part of a fool.
And the raindrops keep falling into my heart,
And I just can't deny what feels so right;
Do I let myself go and feel the rain?
Or should I play with caution and refrain?

I've got a piece of cotton gauze up my mouth and it won't stop bleeding.
And so my dear parents decided that I should complete the things I needed to do here. After all, its only 8 days I think, away. And everything must be done before I leave because in Australia, everything is so EXPENSIVE there!
One of the things I was supposed to do was to get a pair of sunglasses (YAY!) and also a pair of spare glasses. Just in case la, something happens like if I misplace it, OR I sit on it. That kinda thing. So this smart ppl from I-CARE Optometry in Bangsar Village called me up the other day and said "Hey, your glasses are ready and you can come pick it up". Turns out only one was ready. The other wasn't. But since they saw a pair of ready specs they made the call. Hmph. Gerammms. And Dad wasn't too pleased. Blamed me for not asking properly. Dammit gotta make another round back there.
OK.
Eyes.
Check.
Now now what else next? Teeth la. Just like optometrist's fees are like cut throat there, i'm pretty sure dentist's are also. 'Snot like here cheap also lo. Here already I bet my dentist is like living very very comfortably sumwhere and blardy rich la. In Aus, I just can't imagine. And moral of story: visit the dents before leaving. Exactly what I did. And so Dr. Hooi my dentist said that all my teeth were great, except one. It was badly decayed, beyond hope.
Nola, not that bad. But basically I had toremove extract that tooth because it was hopeless anyway. It was also to give way to my wisdom tooth because it was erupting. Wisdom tooth ? I like the sound of that. That means I'm getting wiser day by day. *Ehem* But yea, since Dr. Hooi doesn't do extraction, she referred me to another colleague, but no names mentioned. *Yes, I know you'll read this and I sure hope he's not related to you.*
And so after makaning my lunch, I went for the extraction. Cuz apparently once my tooth is extracted I can't talk or eat. I thought waht bullshite la. I will forever hold grudges against this dentist. Because he removed a part of me that stayed true to me for like wat 17 yrs? So rite now I feel like bitching bout him. I don't really trust this fella at all. He came so close to me that I could hear his stomach rumbling. Apparently, he skipped his lunch to finish his appointment with me. Hmm. And everytime he said 'Is it alrite? If you feel pain at anytime, you tell me and I'll stop'. But he didn't. There was once I asked him to pause, he just went on. Sighz. I checked his qualifications. Melbourne. Hais. No comments la. Noob.
I wanted the other dentist who could do extraction too, damn pro. But he only comes in on Sat. But I only had one Sat left. Couldn't waste it on my teeth la. And so I had no choice. Which explains my title. 9 hours later from my extraction my teeth is still bleeding. Not as much as just now la but still. Well I don't really blame it on him la. My fault. I continued talking and talking and eating. And even fell asleep when I had that gauze in my mouth. When we all know that pressure must be applied. That means, BITE. Hard. But still. I hate the taste of blood in my mouth. Its just really gooey, icky and yucky. Oh, and I got to keep my decayed tooth as a souveneir.
Yea sure, tie it around a chain to my neck.
Alright.
Teeth.
Check.
And lastly, HAIR la. My mum said "You're not gonna cut your hair for a year". What? I was thinking that in Aus bout my hair going all barbarianish but still couldnt go to the saloon cuz Mum said so. Anyways, went to the same saloon I 've been going for the past donkey years la. With my favourite stylist, Jimmy. Had to wait my turn and was alternately flipping through pages of the SAM Econs Essentials Textbook and pages of Elle Singapore. Also they served me some tea which I refused to drink because that bloody (literally) gauze was still in my mouth. Then I would be drinking BLOOD-flavoured tea. Not a very nice thought.
My hair freaking looks the same. Only much thinner. But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That's why I love Jimmy.

One of the things I was supposed to do was to get a pair of sunglasses (YAY!) and also a pair of spare glasses. Just in case la, something happens like if I misplace it, OR I sit on it. That kinda thing. So this smart ppl from I-CARE Optometry in Bangsar Village called me up the other day and said "Hey, your glasses are ready and you can come pick it up". Turns out only one was ready. The other wasn't. But since they saw a pair of ready specs they made the call. Hmph. Gerammms. And Dad wasn't too pleased. Blamed me for not asking properly. Dammit gotta make another round back there.
OK.
Eyes.

Now now what else next? Teeth la. Just like optometrist's fees are like cut throat there, i'm pretty sure dentist's are also. 'Snot like here cheap also lo. Here already I bet my dentist is like living very very comfortably sumwhere and blardy rich la. In Aus, I just can't imagine. And moral of story: visit the dents before leaving. Exactly what I did. And so Dr. Hooi my dentist said that all my teeth were great, except one. It was badly decayed, beyond hope.
Nola, not that bad. But basically I had to
And so after makaning my lunch, I went for the extraction. Cuz apparently once my tooth is extracted I can't talk or eat. I thought waht bullshite la. I will forever hold grudges against this dentist. Because he removed a part of me that stayed true to me for like wat 17 yrs? So rite now I feel like bitching bout him. I don't really trust this fella at all. He came so close to me that I could hear his stomach rumbling. Apparently, he skipped his lunch to finish his appointment with me. Hmm. And everytime he said 'Is it alrite? If you feel pain at anytime, you tell me and I'll stop'. But he didn't. There was once I asked him to pause, he just went on. Sighz. I checked his qualifications. Melbourne. Hais. No comments la. Noob.
I wanted the other dentist who could do extraction too, damn pro. But he only comes in on Sat. But I only had one Sat left. Couldn't waste it on my teeth la. And so I had no choice. Which explains my title. 9 hours later from my extraction my teeth is still bleeding. Not as much as just now la but still. Well I don't really blame it on him la. My fault. I continued talking and talking and eating. And even fell asleep when I had that gauze in my mouth. When we all know that pressure must be applied. That means, BITE. Hard. But still. I hate the taste of blood in my mouth. Its just really gooey, icky and yucky. Oh, and I got to keep my decayed tooth as a souveneir.
Yea sure, tie it around a chain to my neck.
Alright.

And lastly, HAIR la. My mum said "You're not gonna cut your hair for a year". What? I was thinking that in Aus bout my hair going all barbarianish but still couldnt go to the saloon cuz Mum said so. Anyways, went to the same saloon I 've been going for the past donkey years la. With my favourite stylist, Jimmy. Had to wait my turn and was alternately flipping through pages of the SAM Econs Essentials Textbook and pages of Elle Singapore. Also they served me some tea which I refused to drink because that bloody (literally) gauze was still in my mouth. Then I would be drinking BLOOD-flavoured tea. Not a very nice thought.
My hair freaking looks the same. Only much thinner. But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That's why I love Jimmy.
