hahaha. jux watched a funny talk show called Rove on the tv jux now.. it was so hilarious.. now we have more things to watch other than 'so you think you can dance Australia' on sundays..
one of the comedians showed a clip where he secretly creeped behind tourists taking photos in sydney.. lol. then when a tourist asked him to take a photo for them.. he was like.. 'yeah sure..' once they've posed.. he took the cam and ran away.. naturally they ran after him.. he turned around n took a photo of them! hahaha.. the way he narrates it is so funny..
at the end of the show.. all the comedians had to looked at the camera deeply.. and say 'one thing that i love'.. so a guy went 'i've always wanted an expensive car... and now whenever i pump my petrol... i get an expensive car... *wink*' hahahaha.. they jux make fun of all matters including government issues.. simply lol.
the melbourne comedy festival is up on tv tml as well.. hohoho. gd stuff.

we baked banana cake ytd! it's so yummy... n smells so nice.. i cant resist to sneak a piece whenever i walk past it... hoho.
ytd's dinner was oven baked fish with mashed potatoes and pasta.. 1st time i made a mashed potato from scratch.. =X have any of us tried making it b4? it's actually quite easy.. n yummy.. but i'm not sure how to make the sauce.. we used instant ones ytd.. teach me if u noe!
it's save the earth day ytd! did any of u participate?? we did.. hahaha... we off all the lights n went out for a drive... went to King's Park.. it's a park on top of the hill with a beautiful overview of the city of Perth.. so we thgt the scene shld be very nice when onli the streets lights r on............
but when we reached there.. a lot of ppl seem to have the same idea as us... n not all buildings participated.. not every level of the offices participated... so after 5 mins.. my cousin said.. "waffles, anyone?" n we drove off to Gelare for ice cream waffles.. hahahaa...
on our way back we decided on our Anzac Day long weekend trip.. =D tt's abt 4 weeks from now.. we r going somewhere further.. stay overnight.. climbing a 60m tall tree..[dun ask me wad for..] there's margaret river's choco factory on the way there as well.. probably renting a cottage if we get around 10 ppl to go..
i'm not sure if we will reali get to go.. i'm trained not to get my hopes up.. lol. but my cousins seem to always do wad they thought of in the spur of the moment.. they will reali go n plan it out.. which is kind of cool. usually wad most ppl do is all talk n no actions when they haf to organise it..
anyway.. daylight savings is over! i'm back sync in time with singapore.. gained an hour.. lol. tml is the start of sch again.. but 3 wks later i'm going to have another wk break.. hoho. but this 3 wk is going to be a very busy one... ganbarimasu!! oosu!

living w/o parents.. though i'm not totally on my own.. makes me realised a lot of things i took for granted actually take a lot of effort.. checking out rates of interests to ensure ur fixed deposit is at the best rates.. washing clothes in such a way tt it wun turn out hard as cardboard after it's dry.. picking up all the hair tt we dropped so tt it wun clog the pipes.. etc.
independent means.. not depending on others rite? unless someone lives in solitary for his whole life.. it's kind of impossible.. so i'm proud to say i'm depending on all of u my family and my cousins. =D

my internet is UP!!!!!!!!!! muahaha. though me n my cousin went all the way to e post deport to picked the modem up.. spent the nite trying to fix it up.. failed.. gave up.. watched grease.. ate yogurt.. wait for my other cousin to come home.. he tried to fix it while the 2 of us pillow fight on his bed.. hahahaha.. n it's done!!!! i'm a happy kid now. =D
ok let's talk abt the tests. since u all r concerned.. dun blame me if it's a resentful page of writings.. muaha.
1st the law test. well.. it's fairly ok.. i can ans most of the qn.. except a few tt requires me to memorise cases i've nv seen b4 and their outcomes. zzz. n the ppl here r mad... since we can leave the moment we finish.. ppl start leaving after 15 min! it's like they memorise the ans n there's no need to check.. stress.............
n today.. even better. i'm suppose to have kanji test.. (kanji r chinese characters used in japanese) the words r to be obtained from a software which i duno how to use.. since it's a 2nd yr class.. the teacher assumes tt everybody noes how to use it.. so i went to ask a classmate.. he was very kind n say he will send me all the words needed to my email..
i received it.. n guess wad. he sent me half of the words onli... not on purpose maybe.. but i haf 5 min to study another 20 words.. their different pronounciations, the compound words they form, wad they mean n how they r written.. it's traditional chinese characters.. panic.
well. i failed to ans one of it.. the pronounciation sounds like... poisonous food.. but it was actually reading books... wadever~~~~ dun think u guys r interested in these details..
anyway.. YAY to long holiday break with internet access!! we r so proud of ourselves we treated ourselves to timtams... hahaha.. a kind of chocolate bar.. at 1am.. lol. n our wireless is called "doesnotexist"... hahaha..
oh. got angry with the australian post as well. grr. my parcel is here today~~ they said it was scheduled but due to time constraints.. they didnt send it over.. so i asked whether i can go down n get it today.. they r like.. " sorry.. we stopped all our services for the long weekend already. it can onli be resumed on 8am tue morning" it was onli 3pm today lor~~~~ need to siam so early or not.. it's like the whole australia stopped working cuz TOMORROW is a holiday.. piff~
u tend to hate holidays in australia......

what a bad night ytd was. cousins quarrelled. over nitty gritty stuffs. which then evolved into "ur character problem" stuffs. then to "the way u communicate/accept problems" stuffs.
i hate loud voices. n i was sitting in between them. couldnt move. tried to focus on the tv. failed. tears fell involuntarily. lol. cant stand it.
it's kind of nice though. the way they try to communicate their feelings. even if they both totally dun match in character. "i love u tt's y i bother to forgo my tv shows, stop my dish washing and stand at the kitchen counter trying to talk sense into u". "because u r my brother tt's why when u shout it's so hurtful".
this kind of conversation nv appear in my family. n i always do my best to avoid them. with arguments n retorts going thru my head but not out of my mouth. [well, out of my mouth when i'm complaining to u guys. lol]
i feel so wrong to be listening to all those stuffs they r talking abt.. cuz it's a family thing.. and.. they dun reali think of me as a family member.. more like their aunty's daughter.. they are responsible for me and i'm more like a burden to them.
hmm.. anyway. i wun be able to update after today till the modem comes.. probably next wk.. enjoy ur gd friday~~! happy easter. for bunnies n eggs. ^-^

although it's suppose to be warmer than ytd.. it's freezing cold tis morning.. and most probably now as well.. i think it's 10 degrees.. plus winds.. luckily.. i've bought new jackets! a blue checkered one and a pink graffiti one.. weee... hahaha..
did my presentation this morning.. bad....... so bad...... but who cares.. it's over. tt's all tt matters.. muahaha.. now i can focus on my essay.. i MUST finish it by saturday.. proof read by sunday.. send it in for plagarism test on monday.. and hand in b4 thurs..
besides.. i have to study for my law test on sunday.. last min cramming on monday.. and even more Buddha leg hugging on tues's lunch break.. AND i have a kanji (chinese characters used in jap) test on thurs.. *screams*
but after all tt crazy stuffs... i will have gd friday off next week.. and a whole week of easter break.. WITHOUT the internet though.... sobs. but i can laze around... go shopping.... make muffins n lemon slices with my cousin.. if we manage to dig out the recipe tt is.. =D
wonder if u guys have to write essays n stuffs which requires u to find n reference from journals or books? like grace doing business.. jf doing accountancy... all my commerce units doesnt seem to require tt..
but i find myself piled with essays to be done in the coming weeks.. mostly from foundation unit (GP like module) and my tourism unit.. n it's horrible. they hate internet reference (esp wikipedia! it's BANNED over here).. and if i happen to write it in singapore context.. i can hardly find any books on it..
then there's reading logs.. i got my 1st one back.. and he says i seem to be doing it in a rush.. which i didnt.. which means i have to go rethink the way i do it for my next few reading logs.. grrrr.
anyway.. during jap class ytd.. we had to pair up to do an exercise of finding out wad each of us have in common... then tis aussie guy and french ger pair went.. "we liked the same song!" the aussie guy went bright eyed and said "yamapi's daite seniorita!!" (Jap pop idol's song) i was so shocked la.. the rest of us went laughing.. i was like "u KNOW tt song???" he was like "yeah.. it's catchy! it's rather old song though.." ZZZZ it was out in 2006 onli la..
it's hard to imagine these ang moh ppl to noe all these jpop idols when more than half of u who r reading this dun even haf an idea who tt was! hahaha.. they went "we are so going to sing tis song at the karaoke.." haha.. makes me kind of want to go n watch them sing.. but cant.. lols.
well..gtg for now.. guess i will update earliest next mon... going to search for journals n think wad to cook for lunch.. hmmmmmm...
