Harmony Day

Saturday, March 17, 2012

1:39 AM | 3 Comments

Few days ago houssie came across this website which was promoting harmony day...




And so we decided to go :)

That's patchy and thumnus sitting on my lap while their owner was driving hehe.

To be honest I have no idea what the day is about...to promote harmony perhaps? A friend suggested it might be a day to raise awareness against bullying.

We paid 5 bucks for entrance and here are some of the things we saw.


meet Iggy!
he's a handsome lab trained to be a guide dog! Iggy was attracted to thumnus and we thought awww.... until his owner said his life mission was to make all soft toys look like some road kill 0_o
apparently he's been destroying some soft toys at home lol.


so cute this two!
they had a pen with chickens, sheeps, deer and a spotted pig.
sounds like some big rojak bowl I must say. You can pay 3 bucks and play with them as long as you want :)


There were cultural performances too. We only stayed long enough to watch the Indian dance and some singing.

Had mos burger in Sunnybank after that and headed home cause it was raining :(



wore my favourite shade today!

Soon autumn will come and the maxi dresses will have to go in the box. boo :(

Master's gathering

Saturday, November 19, 2011

Last night was the first time in my entire year here that I had a gathering with my fellow coursemates.

The venue was a classy Italian restaurant by the port =)



usual vain shot in the car xD

we were paranoid that we wouldn't be able to find the place so we set out to leave the house early and...

unexpectedly we arrived half an hour earlier swt.

the place wasn't that hard to find afterall.


housemate gladly volunteers to help me take pics when there are nice backgrounds lol.

after a while, the sun started to set so housemate got the idea of shooting silhouettes.







i like the next one!



housemate's idea of a pic inside a pic






the original pic I took in my phone LOL.

I must say...why my housemate so talented and creative one har?


Later when all the ladies arrived we settled down for our banquet style dinner.

No pics of the food because I was busy eating and figuring out what I'm putting into my mouth haha wtf.

Honestly, I have no idea what half the menu was about. The only thing I recognised was olive and risotto @.@

And dessert was tiramisu and chocolate mousse xD

I eventually found out from my coursemate beside me that I've been eating veal and some roll up pasta with ham and spinach lol.


the only pic I have of dinner, still waiting for more group pics from coursemate.
btw, left is Lauren and right is Clair =) both are very funny and intelligent ladies.

went bar hopping for thre first time in Brissy after that. not gonna talk much about it but I notice that the girls here really dress pretty and look pretty for night outs!

Makes me feel so... ordinary, sigh.


ok lah, no time for self-pity T____T

I'll be emersing myself in clinic work for the next 2 weeks! Trying my best to close up all my cases before I head home for my holiday~

Boyfie will be picking me up from the airport, can't wait! =)

Another trip up north

And so...we decided that we wanted more of the north coast so this weekend we loitered around the Westfield mall in Northlakes.

Going to the mall only means one thing in my dictionary =)

Even though I always refer to what I do as "damage" but honestly, I've never been able to buy so many gorgeous stuff at such low cost.

Shopping back home will never bring me the same satisfaction anymore, le sigh.





what I wore on that day. Super love this dress because of the back-design xD
and it's made of thin and comfy material, perfect for the weather now.



the 2 new additions to my wardrobe *heart*




Went to Woodypoint to catch the sunset after that =)





I has a housemate with good photography skills *glee*


Counting down the days till the real holidays come :(

Road trip!

Saturday, November 5, 2011

7:46 PM | 2 Comments

Since the first year of our Masters is finally over, housemate and I decided to have a mini road trip to the Sunshine Coast!

We did't really prepare much to be honest. Just bought a fleece mat for 10 bucks and brought a bag of chips LOL.




camwhore sessions on the way xD

First stop was Eumandi Market where there were over 500 stalls selling handcrafts and some local goods. Didn't take alot of pics of the stalls because I was busy looking at stuffs heh.


that's my housemate cum bigbang and gossip girl kaki *hearts*


a banner with lots of cute sayings. can click the pic to enlarge!


puppets singing! the dude behind has strings tied to every limb of his body to move them @.@"


Gourmet calamari! so says the board haha. and it's actually quite yummy!



Saw a very old school merry-go-round that caught my attention =)


After that housemate brought us to the malls famous in the area.

And I did more damage to my wallet T___T



Haih seriously....I don't think I'll ever get bored of the shopping here. I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE DESIGNS!


I bought everything on me from Aussie, the top, the bikini, the skirt, the sandals!


Last stop we decided to try out our new fleece mat at the beach. Housemate and I were contemplating of buying a set of bucket and shovels for the beach but then we thought that we'd look a wee bit over-age to play with that haha.


saw Maxine's car!


the beach!! *kicks off sandals and runs!*


I spy someone fishing

 the most relaxing sight ever =)






Felt good to have my feet in the waves =)



One year down and another to go...oh i'm hating and lurving this place much.

i'm back!!!

Photobucket

happy me XD

so the hiatus wasn't that long hehe.

it's a very long story but throughout the 1 week plus i was in camp i was visiting the medic like it was my second home, went to the hospital twice, was forced to spend the night in the medic room once and am finally released because i'm just giving them too much stress =____=

okay, so let me summarize what's it like in NS:

5 a.m. WAKE UP.

move your ass whether you want to or not. the blardy siren would go
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
NNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW~~

for like eternity =__=

then SUDDENLY...

AAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~ whatdjdleorufjfheueoedpdoekeu....dunnowhatlalala&ongoingscreechingwtf.

i dunno what he singing!

AND THEN HOR...you will hear a very low voice saying...

sembahyanglah...sebelum anda disembahyangkan...

BAAAAANNNGGGGUUUUUNNNN.....bangun....BANGUN!!

wtf wtf wtf.

my friend got so annoyed she stuffed her shirt into the speaker.


6.20 a.m. gather at padang kawad for senaman.

sometimes if you're lucky you get to do aerobics accompanied by a trance remix version of siti's songs...and if you're unlucky you'll have to kawad...friggin early in the morning. siao wan.

7.30 a.m. breakfast

usually it'll be egg, bread and their ultimate spicy mee goreng that turns your stomach upside down.

not to forget, everyone has to wash their own cups, forks, spoons, plates, bowls, whatever after meal with the oily sponge provided =.=

8.20 a.m. change into class shirt and proceed to another padang kawad to sing our national anthem and the NS theme song.

btw, i still have no idea how to sing the stupid song after 1 whole week.

9.00 a.m. class

they were teaching module 2 when i arrived so it was focusing mainly on character building...i'm too lazy to elaborate on the activities..but i can show you my activity book filled with magic pen drawings (YESH!!thank god no crayon) if you want :D

10.30 a.m. morning tea break

eat biscuit jer.

11 a.m. continue with class

buat havoc dalam kelas.

12.30 p.m. lunch break

again, have to endure their food yang spicy giler.
sometimes they even put chili in the rice okay! SWT.

after that we get to head back to our dorms so i'll usually do my laundry (no dobi or washing machine, must wash own clothes kampung style) and take a quick nap.

2.30 p.m. activity time

they usally slot in random stuffs like team building activities, lessons on kayak and canoes, HIV...etc.

4.30 p.m. tea break

makan biskut lagi.

5.30 p.m. riadah

PJK time! gosh doesn't this remind you of high school LOL. we can either choose to go jogging, play balls, do stunts, pluck grass...whatever as long as we're moving.

in my case, i always choose to move my mouth. so my friends and i would find a shady spot far far away from the teacher so that we can just talk nonsense.

6.30 p.m. dinner time.

eat crazy spicy food that's infested with flies. *throws up*

after that we have to RUSH BACK to our dorm, bathe with god like speed and change out of our uniforms so that we can hand them to the designated dobi that chooses to come before 7.30 every night.

oh ya, and did i mention there's no heater??

you can either choose to bathe from a pool of water filled with drowned insects and dead leaves or alternatively, go into one of the shower stalls and get your poor tired body beaten and pierced by their ice cold mountain water.

oh wait.

let me ask you this interesting question...what colour is water??

white?

blue??

see through??

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO.

the water here is YELLOW COLOUR ONE KAY!! beat that.

anyways, we usually have alot of free time after dinner so some of us would go to the mamak or kiosk to yumcha and wait while the others sembahyang.
it's also the only time in the day where girls and guys can sort of mingle around without being shouted at or punished.

yes, you get apprehended if you're seen walking alone with the opposite sex.

WALKING ALSO CANNOT KAY. they scared you'll get pregnant walking beside the opposite sex lor.

=______=


9 p.m. taklimat

most of the time we call this the bashing session where the person in charge would either be yelling at the muslims or non-muslims or both nonstop for 2 hours *sien*

11.30 p.m. lights out

but the lil girls will always be happily chatting away until 1 or 2 a.m. so there's no waaay to sleep in peace.

and then the next day we have to wake up kee siao early at 5 again!!

HOW TO NOT FALL SICK??!?

the environment and food is bad enough...not to mention we're totally cut off from the outside world too because all hand sets are confiscated and released only on weekends and all their public phones are either ROSAK or HUNGRY COIN-EATING MACHINES THAT CHARGE 50 CENTS for 30 seconds!!
it was HELL the first few days.

i thank god for all the kind souls i met there.

when you're away from home, surrounded by trees and human-chasing monkeys, deprived of technology, stripped off from all luxuries, thrown into a room shared by 20 others who share different beliefs and practices and forced to survive...it's depressing.

honestly, i never thought that i would adapt so quickly.
i never thought that i would meet friends worth remembering.
i never thought that some of the trainers were actually friendly and thoughtful.
and i never thought that i'd miss them...now that i'm out here.

Photobucket

the beautiful scenery outside my dorm.

Photobucket

the nest

Photobucket

Photobucket

so we went swimming haha.

Photobucket

we were so happy to see each other bong turned into a statue haha xD SWT

then we were so happy to see each other we started swearing nonstop wth

Photobucket

until he had to put on the mask haha swt.


truth to be told, i actually kinda enjoyed myself there (minus all the food + poor facilities + mouldy-scary looking toilets)

so yea...NS is worth remembering :)

and now that i'm back...i've been busy recuperating (i've been sick and bed-ridden for almost a week) and catching up with friends!

Photobucket

met sue lin and joey so many donkey years after ausmat!!

Photobucket

awww..elwyn and sue lin..so sweeet together ever since ausmat :D

so happy to see all of you again!! *hearts*

btw, missy here will be starting work next week... as a Blackberry Ambassador. I get to have my own blackberry for this 3 months!! *glee*

click here if you don't know what's a blackberry =p

the only reason I'm taking up this job is because the pay is SO GOOOOD. (hint: double an average fresh grad's salary)

but i'll be working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. and if my performance is bad i might get terminated. boohoohoo.
