Heyall' people reading my blog. Thanks for being interested enough to keep up with what I'm doing abroad. I'm gonna leave this for a while. Not sure if am starting another as personal as this, or will reorganise the posts a little and make a new comeback. But am seriously toying with the idea of starting a book blog or a fashion blog. Maybe both I would say.. Ah! And maybe a travel one if I do

To place it at Your feet,seems like a task that’s gonna slit.Resting on my bed I let a tear drop on the sheets. Perhaps I should learn to sit before I could stand and run.But I am afraid You will erase the memories on my heart. Take a step forward, I willBut give me more than a chance.For it is more than possible,That it may take more years.

that there is no such words as "window shopping" in her dictionary. She came out from the warehouse sale with a $10.99 purchase. So much about saving money!this EXPRESS body-hugging but comfy wrap-around is actually 'peachier' than it is shown in the photo. the flowers on the side adds a feminine touch. It also comes in fuschia pink which is sexier but more mature-looking.

Gracie will start a new blog on fashion soon. Sources said that her daily boredom in Amherst, America has rendered her to spending most of her time on the Internet. "There is nothing she would really do except to check out other fashion blogs, fashion magazines and websites of different brands," says a source who declined to be named.

Perhaps I shouldn't be too hard on Snow. She came down in hoards today and the University actually announced closed for that. So no classes for me today and I was able to sleep more... especially after the big FxxK incident last night... the news was exhilarating. And Sarah and I actually went out to play with her!usual depressing sight in the mornings - Snow Stormsarah drenching herself in

New progress. I just bump into my suitemate in the toilet. And she told me she used to stay in my room. And she told me the people somewhere up there listens to and sings to Mandarin tunes. So it's not that my ears are playing tricks nor are there any freaky business going on here. Bugger off! I'm gonna write Mandarin hate mails on A4 papers and paste them in the lifts tmr.

It's freaky. I couldn't take it so I changed and went upstairs. I opened the accused's suite door but all I could hear was a gentle tempo (as if they were one of those being affected too). I kept silent and thought for a second. It's a girls' suite (I know from the name tags on the doors and they are Ang Mos) and the person singing those silly mandarin songs is a male. It can't be the person

YES. It's a Hokkien-sound-a-like. It's Mandarin! That blary arse is still doing Chinese Karaoke at 1.46AM, on a weekday, in a student hostel. He's insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And he's singing the cheesiest of the cheesiest. He's singing 'WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW'! (That is the stupidest 1980's Taiwanese hit which incorporates English verses).

Hey guys, I'm back! The past week had been hectic or felt hectic. I did try my best to finish writing the two features but as many of you would probably know. I'm a hard news journo! Who wants to write about food and personalities?! Ok.. those are pretty interesting too but too difficult. Besides, my source for my profile didn't get back to me until Saturday night (well, fact was I was too

He did it again! Gracie needs money to install Quark Express 6.5 and to get some American summer fashion. So she thought she would try her luck at the Wochester Dining Commons - her favourite hang out with her Kor-Viet-Hongkie & 1 Sing gang - to get a $6.50 per hour dishwasher job or something. To her disappointment, she was told the job has just been taken up. So Gracie thought that was it. But

I walked out of my dormitory, not expecting her:Snow's here again. When would she ever realize she's unwelcome? She messed up my garden, covered the leaves with her white pus and brought along a wind so strong, it nearly cracked my face. The worst, she didn't even knock! So rude... I had to head back to my room to grab my scarf and gloves and brolly, all because of her! What a bitch.

So much for complaining, I finally realised the local mall does have a lot to offer today. Not A LOT if we were to compare with Indooroopilly Shopping Centre or any neighbourhood mall in Singapore but, quality and price wise, America has it all! Yes, even in 'kampong' Amherst. We were shopping at Target! Yes Target. I shop in Target in Australia too but Target America is way bigger. It's bag

Gracie's philosophy of love is down to the basics. Honesty. But honesty makes love a struggle sometimes as the world does not think honesty is good. Or maybe, the world has grown to not embrace honesty anymore. Girls have to play hard to get and guys too. People become afraid to love because living in a world void of true honesty, they fear they have been reading the wrong signs, they fear

a valentines' day muffin bar was set up for students over dinner today. it was a 'deco-yourself', where you could choose between a vanilla or chocolate muffin and decide on the kind of frost you would like on it. There were 3 choices for the frost: peanut butter, chocolate and vanilla. you could choose to be a lil more creative than others and spread half with peanut butter and the other half

I'm sitting by the window and looking at the fresh snow that covered the pasture that was already out days before. Huge chunks of ice still kept falling from the trees, as if the snowing never ended. I can't help but feel humiliated. What good is this creation of God? nothing but snowSnow's not 'soft like cotton'. When snow comes, it comes in zillions zillions.

Well well, so I checked the visitors' tracker today. Only 2 visitors were recorded yesterday. I guess I've got to be more consistant with my posts or this would become a dead site in no time. So it's been almost 3 weeks since I threw myself back at the comforts of my pink bedroom. Much smaller than the one I have in Australia. Oh yes, my huge bedroom in the two-bedroom house in Indooroopilly...

So... I'm finally here. 4th December - the start of a new chapter of my life. Yeah, it definitely is. A long tough walk, it was. I haven't experience anything like I had for the past 10 months or so. Today is going to mark the start of what I had been working so hard for. 6 weeks back in the comforts of home, and 5 days in London, after which will be the big US of A till only God knows, but

I received a tip-off (from Bruce- from Dr Sayes - probably from his Thai wife) that there are a number of restaurants in Chinatown that have been frequent by a group of Anglo-Saxons (sounds a little racist hey) who often left without paying for their meals. So there I was, the whole day, trudging the streets, under the HOT sun and asking Chinese bosses if this ever happened to their restaurant.

5 more weeks before the starting of exams. I'm feeling as though I had just started my semester. Time flies at rocket speed. I'm still deciding my plans for the rest of the year. It seems more or less set that I'll have to fly back to Singapore to fix my American working visa. That means I'll have to change my return ticket to a round-the-world again and also to start to think about when to leave

It was a week of tears, heartache and anxiety for my family as brother was rushed to the hospital for an operation on his punctured lungs and mum's body nearly shutting down when she was working 14

Maroon 5 would be here, in Brisbane for their Australia tour this Nov! I can't believe this. Had been planning to go London earlier on and was lamenting at the fact that I would not be able to make it for their UK tour which finishes early November.

A friend asked me today if I was a relatively new Christian. I told her, "No, actually since birth but maybe a new Charismatic". Then I asked her why the question. And she told me that was a guess from reading my blog entries. So I had the 'uh oh' in my mind as I did a quick run through the contents of my entries in my mind and hope I haven't sound like a sad, faithless, poor and pitiful

God is so good. I received my first big paycheck today. It's not a big sum of money but the biggest so far... for working almost non-stop for the past two weeks. Guess what. It's not about the money I earn but it's about the tax reduction I have this time. I was previously being taxed at 46 per cent. And that's a depressing sum... almost half of your hard-earned money!

I can't believe this rude and sissy eyebrow plucker is made 'famous' by the 'Singapore Idol'. This arrogant, vain and brainless himbo is surely basking in his newly acquired 'fame'. Fame gained by singing William Hung's rendition of 'She Bangs' and doing a striptease in his sleazy, yellow hot pants. How creative. I won't deny my renewed 'hatred' for this guy.

Having to struggle with finances is not something I had to face when I was younger. It's probably not an issue of age I'm getting at. Many of my peers are still carefree about this issue. But it has to be that my family is now heavily affected by the economic downturn that brings me to a realization that my parents could no longer shelter me as I had wished they could have.

Ever had the experience of thinking about all the problems you are dealing with and the possible hurdles you may encounter. Coupled by the bad, the sad, the past.. yes the past. All the emotions from these events come together. Woo... that's formidable I think. At least potent enough to keep my tears flowing.

It puts me at a crossroad, everyday of my life. It not an exchange of efforts, but a choice for eternity. Thus, everyday I choose to give up, some pieces of the world. They were dear to me, and maybe even now, still. I cry out

Crossroads. How often do we find ourselves at a crossroad? I was once again stirred watching Tom Hanks on 'Cast Away'. How vulnerable are we human beings and how natural is it in us to just look for anyone else or any object to take our mind off something else that might affect us? Chuck in the movie (casted by Tom Hanks) found himself on an isolated island after the Fed Ex plane he was on

It's 4.39 am and I'm sipping Milo in front of the com. Should I shower now or should I do that when I wake up... at 7.30am.. yes.. 7.30am when I prepare for work. Yes.. I have to be at the office by 9am! I'm smelling like a walking cigarette. Mascara smudged. Hair out of place. Still pretty though. Danced with heaps of guys.. enjoyed being a bitch.. told someone to get lost. Being told that I was

Our conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice from behind. It was Pastor Wayne. He was talking on his mobile. Dressed in a blue, floral striped shirt, he looked energetic and cheerful. He gave me a wave as he walked past us. I smiled back. All of us smiled in fact, and our discussion resumed with a different mood. "Oh well, we were planning to demolish this building and build a new

I took a detour and made my way to the 'Blue Building' (BB houses pastors' offices and a room for worship for church satellites). Belinda could be seen sitting along the road pavement staring at the smothering mess. I called out to her as she turned her head with a daze in her eyes. It was some moments before she said, "Oh, hi!" I walked closer to find Ray 'hidden' behind the fence. Both of

I was at work when I received an SMS from Eunice: "Hi, church set on fire last night..." "Oh, another successful church event," I thought as I quickly switched off my mobile and put on my head set before my boss finds out that I had bent the rules. "MOBILE PHONES TO BE SWITCHED OFF AT ALL TIMES", reads the sign on the door to the operators' room. Oh well. So it was another day of learning

I've been wondering if it was a test of faith when I started to fall into a state of.. not so much of a depression but disappointment and bewilderness at the beginning of the week when I couldn't get hold of him. It made me recall events of yesteryear when a similar situation happened. It was Mark. It was exactly this time of last year. We just came back from a 3-day

Hee.. Sunshine after rain.. Think I must be pretty locked up at home studying to be thinking loads of shit. Had a good chat with him. First time he gave me some assurance. First time he said he'll wait. I'm all set on going to London again... :) And I hope it'll stay this way.

Count me silly but the sites he usually frequent (i.e sites that track users and state the dates site was visited) has reported no trace of him for the past few days. I've been wondering if he's blocked me on MSN or has he genuinely not been coming online. It's strange cuz he follows a predictable routine everyday. Work, tv, net or Work, squash, net.. Otherwise it would be the occasional movies

I've been restricting myself from blogging so I could have more time for revisions. Apparently I've achieved that.. but not so perfectly I guess.. yes.. no blogging but doesn't mean more time.. I've recently been hooked on shows proclaiming to have 'bitching attitudes' on Channel Ten. God, how I love those reality shows.. so shallow and crappy! huhahah.. well I would reckon they're better than

I had a dream. A weird dream that stirred my heart. You and I, away in the cold, unfamiliar Massachusetts, staying side by side. Yet we were separated, by a thin glass window. A window that could not be opened, at least for this moment. But you were there for me, and so was I for you. But should there be no speech, and should there be no touch, would our hearts still bind? You asked

Tonight was a new beginning for me... My first day on a totally new experience... I'm on my way to the States...Hmm no... I'm waiting on tables...but yes, it's the first step to achieving my goals.. I've finally got a job to finance my student exchange next year. It's a Mexican restaurant up the street, at Taringa, the suburb next to where I'm staying. I've never been a waitress before... so I

Not sure what's got into me today... Probably I'm just not in the best of moods....Or maybe it's because I'm only half done with my two assignments due next week or that I can't attend my best friend's birthday celebration back home. I also suspect that I'm getting overly excited the thought of doing a job placement and exchange. I walked around the house, not doing much. There is still a whole

I rushed to the Study Abroad Resource Room right after classes, hoping to spend some time looking through the information about other universities. But to my dismay, the laminated sign hanging on the door spelt 'open from 9-11am'. It was 1pm. Hey.. what is this? Is it so difficult keeping one room open?? Sigh.. I guess I'm probably just too excited at the thought of doing a student exchange

I'm amazed at the rate I'm recovering. My heart still aches but the pain is quickly diminishing. My mind is not thinking anymore and it's a good sign. No point dwelling on things that have been decided yeah? I spoke to Jason last night and we joked and laughed like we used to... like buddies. He emailed me this morning and said he still misses me alot. I do too. But I know we're both recovering

I've never met a guy who loves me so much. Jason is the first. And I've never loved a guy so much too. He is the first. We used to say we love each other 'to the moon'. How romantic can that be. But one mistake led to one thinking after another. He said he's never blamed me, he's forgiven me and wants things to stay the same. But I realised things can just never be the same again. Studies and

Never been thrown into such emotional roller coaster. Love does drive one crazy. I'm listening to Gabrille's Shining Star, thinking about how the past week has been. Buried feelings resurfaced and contradicts with my present love and commitment. Wished I could be more rational, wished I hadn't made life dramatic, wished he didn't appear in my life once more... When he took the stairs this

I weigh myself this morning. I was 53.5 kilograms. I was smiling inside.. Surviving on soup alone does work. It's 500grams lighter than 2 days ago. But now I wonder how's that gonna stay.... In a joyous mood, I suddenly felt a great craving for pasta. I got myself a bowl. It's cooked with sweet potato with white sauce.. Sounds alright? But it came with two other side dishes- stir-fried beef

I cried like a 5-year-old for two hours. And hovering around me were five guys- my neighbours- my family in this foreign land. I was whining, complaining, screaming at them. They said that I was fat. They've been teasing me for months. I used to think it was funny, I used to laugh with them. I used to act silly and argue that I'm not fat- they are. But it's funny no more... I'm going home.
