Heyaz!!

well..how was my sydney trip?
it was FUN FUN FUN!!!

Well..we left Canberra at around 6 plus and reached Sydney at around 9 plus. The car ride was great..cos my friend rented a new mitsubishi car..and it was just really really smooth..plus the sound system was really cool too..had the bass and all....

In Sydney, we went for ktv at night @ this pretty new ktv place called GREENBOX...the room had like 2 screens. One was this flatscreen wide tv (which was the where the songs were going to be in) and the another tv which ws showing soccer (Aust vs Greece)..it was quite funny..cos like when one person is singing...the other 2 are watchin tv...and we just alternate..it's cool!

Then after ktv, we headed back to the backpackers to get some sleep cos my fren's cousin was going to arrive at 7.55am that morning. It was all good..we managed to wake up in time and pick him in time. I've concluded that parking in Sydney city is really expensive...like each time we park somewhere..even if it's just for a few hours..it's definitely more than 12 bucks...it's horrible..who wld wan to drive anywhere....oooh we ate so much this trip...that morning we had a hk style breakfast. I had a bun, macaroni with ham and egg..and milk tea...and like shortly after that, we went to yum cha...how crazy..all within 3 hrs...i'm sure!...and like i had 2 days of bubble tea...so so happy...cos i miss it soooo much! Canberra doesn't have nice ones...

Haha..funny thing was, on our way back...we forgot to top up the petrol..it was funny..cos we were panicking on the way back..so near yet so far..like we had just 30 over km to canberra...and the petrol light started flashing...haha...and from the point it started flashing, we found out that we had just passed a kiosk and the next one was pretty far down..haha so it was really a bit of a panick..hahaa....then that night..we had a big seafood dinner!...it was great!!!...we had oysters, lobster, pippies, crab, prawns and scallops...sooo sooo yummy...we bought all of em from the sydney fish market..and homecooked it at a friend's restaurant..goody goody yum yum...(sorry no pics...haha..was too excited to eat!)

Well the weekend was pretty relaxing too..didn't really do much.. as in study..haha..i did everything else..haha....it was good...got to play badminton at anu with friends..it's been soooo long since i last played sports really..so really loved it...

ooouu..happy happy..finally i may get to play tennis again..been such a long time..dunno why..but last time used to not like training that much(prob was just lazy) but now i actually miss it and hope to play again...horrible me...but really hope to play matches and all again...but sad sad...my darling racket is back in sg..so i have to borrow someone's racket to play...=(

hmmm okie..will update u guys further...cheerios!!
happy studying everyone!!

Heya!

Today's been great!
i think winter really makes me very very attached to my bed..haha...
like i can't wake up and do stuff straight away...
somehow..i'll just go back under my quilt and snuggle myself to sleep...

these days..it's been so cold...and my bloody heater goes off after 1 hr plus every night...
so by the time i wake up..it's already freezing in my room!(ok i'm exaggerating)..but u know what i mean...sighz.

last night...i slept with the lights all on..and books on my bed..and i was just using like half of my bed...the next thing i knew...was that it's 8am already....best...and like i woke up..brushed my teeth and all..and then ate a nice bun for breaky..and guess what...i was drawn back to my bed...
i had a quiz this noon..and had wanted to study before it...but well...i think my slp apparently was more important...haha...

then had coffee with Leanne after japanese today...it's getting really hard..like with have to learn how to phrase the sentences, put the particles, verbs and nouns...oh it's so hard..haven't done languages in such a long time already....but it's great that i have the chance to learn this now..

Just had dinner with Kenny (my cousin) and his colleagues. We went to this restaurant called INORI in civic...it's all good..we had such good food...sashimi, dragon sushi(prawn tempura), spider sushi(Soft shell crab tempura) , had assorted tempura, this pork soup thing, agedashi tofu, steak...it was sooo good...like haven't had such a spread in a long time..it's great!...

Exams are coming in a week..haven't even started yet...really panicking...
but all is good..i'm sure the Lord is with me..yup yup...
Going to sydney tom night...well...guess it's just a short break...
will be back on friday!

yupperz!!

Haha...didn't realise that i didn't update on my blog for a few days now..

well well..the presentation was great! we had a great time...considering that we didn't really put as much effort into it..i thought that it was fantastic...altogether...we only had one grp meeting with everyone present, another grp meeting with just 3/4 of us...and then it was the presentation already..wow...first time something like that happened..rather impromptu presentation..but i must say we clicked pretty well...

when the first group started the presenting..i thought it was going to be over for me..cos like they were SO prepared...like a whole script..and everyone was reading as if it was like some national day speech or something..the whole thing was so formal, so proper...then i thought of my group's one..it was so..like relaxed and casual..haha totally different..and like only the 2 of us were going to be presenting..so it's really like a difference in style...wonder which one my lecturer liked...

well this week i'm going to have 2 tests...hmmm i think i'm being pretty slack about it..which is bad...cos like i'm not really doing much work even though i think i should be....but really i have no idea what i should do....

oh i really miss haagen daaz ice cream..i miss the rum and raisin, the cookies and cream and of course the strawberry one!!...so sad...i don't think they have it here....sob sob...i miss u...ice cream!!!

been rather stressed about nothing..been eating a lot...snackin on everything in my room..till now..i've wiped out pretty much everything..how bad is that huh...sooooo bad...

love life aspect...i don't know..it's so crazy..but...i don't have a target now..and it feels so weird..cos like i don't have like anyone that i want to really think about..haha..which takes up like 3/4 of my time usually..haha...oh oh..i mUST say..i dreamt of this cutie last night...it was all good till...my alarm clock rang...totally hate it! like i was so infuriated...like poof! that's the end of my cloud...haha wonder if i'll really get to see this cutie in real life..hahaha....=p

Yay! finished my part of my presentation!! it's this thursday! quite lookin forward to it...guess cos it's rather interesting and i probably know what i'm presenting..for the first time in my life...

well things are getting pretty good now...less stress from assignments and tests..
should be better and i can just prepare for the exams..shouldn't be a problem..

somehow i think i'm missing on something...or i'm just blanking some stuff out..i dunno..
but seems like i have to settle some stuff and i have yet to do it...

listed some stuff...should be good!

An evening @ a bus stop along Bimbimbie Rd

Hi world!
How's life over there?
Hmmm well, nothing much has been happening to me really...
haha that explains my long silence from blogging...
hee...sorry to everyone who has been tryin to keep updates on me..

Well...i've been doin a bit of thinkin and reflecting this few weeks...
like i've finally reached a point in my life where i have to think what do i wan to do with my future,
where do i wan to go, what do i wan to specialise in, do i wan to stay in aussie land..or do i wan to go back? well...
all these questions having been running over and over...and even though i hate to face it..
i guess i have to make life's decisions at some point or another...
i graduate this semester...quite confidently i should if everything goes well...
and like there's been many options for me at the moment...

at this point...i'm leaving it all up to God really...
i can't decide...i really don't know what choice to make, what step to take..
cos i know very well that what decision i make now...
will reflect in my future life,
and what step i take now,
will determine which direction i'm going to go in my life...
guess i'm not a kid anymore...
really miss being a kid and just doing whatever goes...
going from kindergarten to primary school to secondary school..this are all given...taken for granted.... then moving from sec school to poly...well that was a big step...and now from poly to uni..even though it's like the most natural thing...yet it was a mighty leap...
and i guess all these were all leaps of faith...
faith in God that he will provide, that he will carry me on his wings and i'd fly...
so just like it's alwiz been..i've got to pray and take flight wherever he puts me..


That's life for me...has always been..and is going to be...

Life's alwayz so unpredictable, who we meet, where we will be...what's going to happen next...
who know really?..

a friend once said to me, 'it's not about meeting the right person, but it's about being the right person for others'..i guess that's really encouraging..when we alwiz take for granted and we're alwiz finding faults in others...~ just a random tot...haha for those who were thinkin, 'what the...' hahaa...welcome to MERYL'S WORLD OF RANDOMNESS...hahahaa...
