Blessed 21 :)

It's 28th! hehe. Thanks for all the wishes either from facebook, texts, msn, e-mails. :D It made my day brighter!

XiTing & Wannee gave me an advance gift, shall not reveal, secret. =P Xie xie ni sekteng for your card and pei wo online, muahxx.

Darl peiying gave me an advance 21st gift too, a bag, thanks darling! Wo hen zhen xi.

My sis gave me a very pretty card and my first accesorize earrings!

On the day I felt really lethargic, restless thinking about the workload coming up in uni. At night, dinner with the church kawans and temporary threw away the thought of uni work, for some moment.

Vietnamese food @ Vu's restaurant, South Perth. It was actually not bad, at least the internet reviews are accurate. But the place is like hidden. Eat eat talk talk.

Dearrie! <3

And i really thought it's time to head home since we finished the dinner and cake. Peiwen said she got something to give me so I followed to her room. I was wondering why mao is still inside the car but didn't think much.

Peiwen insisted I opened the pressie so I opened layers after layers of newspapers, hahahah, it's like never ending. Tada! A very cute planner and earrings, inside the planner so colourful and cute, I don't feel like using it, too nice to be written! hehe. Thankewww peiwen :D

Then okay, after taking the pressie I'm going back. But peiwen followed me out, I thought she just wanna sent me to the door. Then I saw mao using his HTC phone stand by and thought something was fishy and bisha boom! Water boms! I'm attacked and wet, haha. The cell peeps were hiding behind ivan's car! After that whipcream time! lol. My face and hair was so ugly and smell of cream. But they prepared towel and water for angel and me, how thoughtful :P

After the funs, they presented me with 3 pressies, i was still skeptical if there's tricks inside the paper coz' again it's layers and layers of papers, haha.

Unwrapped them all and kettle! ( I need this, was going to buy but haven't really go to the city and search for it ), devotional book! ( 90-day, a good way to learn more about God =D), pink ipod shuffle! ( first mp3/apple product in my entire life too, haha) I feel too loved! :)

Many people to thank for all these! Pw, mao, venny, jeremy chia, steph, leemun, ivan, arnold, nathan, weijing, shareen, jason, rachel chia, jeremie, william, dexter, jeremy tan, yihlim, seelik, jiali, shuling! Awesome cellies, * hugs & kisses*

Lastly, peiwen wo ai ni! haha. Thanks for picking all the lovely pressies, the card, the company you gave for 2 years in perth, your thoughtfulness, and you came though you got assignment due! Ahh, *touch*. You're wonderful and awesome to me too. :>

21st

26th March -Saturday

Haven't meet up together for a longgggg time with the girls. Previous sems we usually meet up in week 1 coz' uni has not been as busy as this year I guess. All of us are doing year 2 year 3 units, tough times ahead. :X But still happy having to meet them up for a meal. :D

Joey picked me and grace up, off we went to edosushi @ Subiaco. Ordered wasabi creamy rice, haha, it was interesting but I don't fancy wasabi much, the spicyness really got into my nose. But still thanks to dearrie pw for the treat. :P

gracey

Next: to San Churros. Mui mui and I share the same day, apparently the date 328 is so common that I share birthdays with many people. As usual mui mui like to do funky faces, hah! Thanks to peiwen, joey, gracey and yihui for the cake and churros! :D Yums. [ fattening :P ]

Mui mui and hui hui :)


1. pw, joey 2. hui, mui 3. yihui, joey, me =]

Aww they gave me koko black chocolate drink! The shop just recently opened in claremont, before that it was only available in melbourne! I just went with them the other day to drink the belgium hot choc *mmmmm* They too gave me dotti's gift card, hehehe, expire one year later, I got much time to slowly shop some clothes there, wheeee! Blake gave me lindt chocs, sooooo gooood, the middle soft choc just melt in your mouth. I ate it almost everyday since he gave it to me. Ooops. And mary gave me a card too! =D

After that, we went for a late dinner at Hawkers @ Northbridge. Nice asian food! Marmite chicken, the best!

Outside waiting to dine in Hawkers, we waited 30mins +. While waiting, I'm addicted to harman's iphone angry bird game. :P

After dinner, karaoke @ Utopia. My first karaoke session in my entire life, and I broke the barrier of being shy. =P It was pretty fun, i shall try out malaysia's one when I get back.

In the karaoke

Fun-filled day it was. :]

27th March Night

Another college mates session + Dilys. :)

We walked to Ti Amo at hampden road for its italian food. Ordered 3 dishes and share among 5. I personally think it's just alright, but the chicken and spaghetti was good and in a humongous portion.

Desserts were reallly tasty though! Cheese cake, chocolate cake! That's andrew and kim on the right and adrian on the left.


Dilys. Me. Andrew

Thank you andrew, dilys, adrian and kim for the treat! :D

Chinese Class & College Happenings

Thursday 17th March

The class I'm excited about is here! Gong lao shi started introducing different types of tea and which area do they mostly grow at. There are red tea, yellow tea, green tea, white tea etc. Long Jing Cha is the high class tea and Pu Er Cha is the tea that is the exceptional, the longer the tea leaves are left, the higher the value is. The very good tea leaves can be more expensive than gold. He was so nice, he brought 2 luggages of tea utensils just to show us how to make a cup of tea.

The demo began and we all got to try. There were 2 mini cups used to drink each time. The tall one that you see in the picture was to keep the tea warm as the surface area is smaller. Before you drink, you invert the broad-surface-cup, put it above the tall cup and turn it over. Thus, the tea won't leak. Before you have a sip, you need to feel the aroma for a few secs. You musn't gobble all at once, but drink 3 times to finish it. It's only one of the techniques. The other one is those we saw from tv series, the big cup with a lid.

I learnt a lot but it's hard to explain it here, too many procedures, the water temperature and yada yada. Next week, we gonna learn about chinese wine and some alcohol! This class is so cool!! :D

My chinese class go till at 6.45pm and I got the formal function in Georges which started at 630. I rushed back and take 10mins to prepare everything and go down to the quad.

Lavenia, Shan and me


Kim got the scholarship! Congrats to her.

Today the 19th March

We decided to cook curry and had a good lunch instead of the boring college sandwich. Mmm, yum but fattening! Coconut milk in curry, roti prata, oily stuff. Hah.

Fourth Semester

Well, I'll start off with the room I'm allocated this year in college. Kinda happy with it and it's ensuite most importantly, need not share bathroom with anyone. =D

Currently in week 3, and there are a lot of readings and tutorials to do already! =( My midsem exams are like exactly a month away. Noooo!

I'm doing Investment Analysis (killer unit), International Finance, Microecons level 2, Asia in World Economy and Chinese for business. Of all, I love chinese classes. My lecturers are from taiwan and china. It's so cool! I get to learn sun tzi art of war, chinese business etiquettes and what more, the art of tea this upcoming thursday! *excited* We gonna be taught how to make a good cup of tea with real tea leaves. Haha. Most of the students are from china, since the unit requires native proficiency. I find it challenging with the idioms and stuff. But it's fun.

Last week went ikea with college mates for meatball lunch and they get some stuff from there. I just bought 2 photoframes which cost 95cents each! Cheap right?

Cell group was good too, the new people I met are nice as well. Last friday we had this wii challenge, the losing team will need to wash the dishes, and we're so enthusiastic, until the neighbour asked us to be quiet. It's only 9+, and they're sleeping already. =S

Oh, and I got a job! Kumon again, haha, I'm boring, kept doing the same job, coz' its the easiest compared to waitresses or cashier I think. But kids are quite annoying, they just cry when they don't wanna do work, grrrr. And I need to say 'well done', 'good work', 'good girl/boy', 'excellent' each time they did it correctly. I'm getting numb on those words. Ohwells, they need to be constantly coaxed.

By the way, I go to gym at 7am every mon and wed, so healthy right, hahah! Coz' my college now has free gym membership with the uni, might as well go to the classes. I went with shan and andrew, it was pretty good, not too extreme. ;)

So...It's gonna be a busy semester!
