Back home but still missing home.

I;m back in SG but I miss my Melbourne home, and my 2 house mates, and the weather, and the couch, and my bed. But it's nice to be back, nice to see my family, and my dogs, and my cats, and my goats. HAHA!

It's been 6 days since I came back, I started working today. Woke up at 5.30am to feed the baby goats with dad, then had breakfast, then milked the goats, then had a vegetarian lunch, then processed the milk till 6.30pm, then drove mum to the supermarket to stock up, got back home at 9pm, hopped on the treadmill for 10 mins, and I'm blogging now. Just to cool down before I take a shower. You must be wondering why I had to wake up so early. That's because ALL my malay workers went back to M'sia for Hari Raya yesterday, so I had to "start work" today.

I really want to upload some pics but I don't have my memory stick reader with me, so I can't transfer the pics over. Pics from the dinner to celebrate dad's birthday, and my doggies, and rachel in her "car".

Gonna be real busy this week, I don't have time to go out anymore. But I really need to get some stuff from the city, maybe tmr would be a good day.

Oh my hair is violet in colour. Its some sort of new "dyeing" technique cos they don't have that smelly ammonia in the mixture, and the colour will fade away to reveal your natural hair colour instead of change colour. So yea I look quite wierd.

I'm tired, gonna shower and sleep.

All the best to your future.

This is for Melody and Bren. Thanks to you Mel, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known a good friend like Bren, and thanks to you again, that we won't have a very lasting friendship.

Bren, if you read this, all the best in what ever you do in the future. I hope you understand where I'm coming from too. This is only the beginning of a very long and hard journey for you. I chose not to be by her side anymore, I guess I'm not strong enough to put up with it anymore. What ever it is, I'm only an insignificant part of your lives.

All the best.

Hotpot Night!

Finally done with the dreaded accounting test, and we rewarded ourselves with hotpot!! Lili brought us to this place at Boxhill for hotpot. The food was not too bad, but I thought it was a little expensive. $23 per person, but there was lots of other food that we didn't get to eat cos we were too full to order any more. HAHA!





We ate ALOT! Like a huge load of food. There's this little trolley next to the table, it had 3 layers and it was filled with plates of food, and we finished all of it. AMAZING! I thought we wouldn't be able to finish, but amazingly AJ and Lili could eat quite alot too. HAHA! Eating queens! SO FUN having a girls' night out. We should do this more often!

Anyways, everyone is going to the Royal Melbourne Show without me! SADNESS. That's cos I'm gonna be in SG. ARGH! I've been wanting to go for the last couple of years, and when finally I have kakis to go with, I'm not here! WTH!!! Oh well, see how ler~~~

Tomorrow, marketing at Richmond!!! Going to get some good food! Fish maw, sea cucumber, fish, meat, and groceries!! GAWD I sound like some housewife, but Richmond has so much stuff!!! Should I bring a trolley???

See how ler~~~~~~

Almost done

I'm left with one more assignment and one more test, then comes preparation for exams. But first SG! I really can't wait to go shopping, I'm in a HUGE need for new clothes. I've been wearing the same clothes over and over, I really don't know what to wear anymore. Time for some spring/summer clothes. Hopefully I can get some from vivo city. I've made up my mind to go there on Friday after my haircut.

The funniest thing about coming back this time is that everyone is asking me if KC is coming along. I find it really wierd cos it's only a short mid-term break, too short a period for him to come back with me. Don't worry folks you'll get to see him one day. HAHAHA!!

He's coming back soon, better warm up his dinner.

~~~LATERS~~~

He just texted, he missed the bus. Gotta wait 20 mins for the next one. Poor him. He's really busy, he has to finish an assignment like this week and he's still fine-tuning his research results for his thesis, which he has yet to finish writing by the first week of Oct. But the good thing is he has only one exam, so that's quite a relief. I'm starting to worry about BLaw exam, I think I need to do a lot of reading when I'm back in SG, if not I won't have enough time to read.

KY so cute, she say she will miss me when i'm away. Yea i'll miss them too. They've become like family, quite nice to have a sister. I never had a sister, and always wanted one cos my brother always bullied me, and he still does till this very day. Quite fun, like can gossip together and go shopping together, and watch drama that KC don't watch. haha.

I took this photo a few days ago, I found it quite "sweet".

Kc's always there to back me up, and give me encouragement when I need it. Just like this picture. (The shoes were there, I didn't arrange them to look like this.)

Another Sunday...

I've been wanting to blog for the whole week but I really couldn't find the time. I've been busy with my business law assignment, which took me 3 long weeks to finish. I finally got it done yesterday so I could clean the house today.

I'm starting to feel a little unappreciated around the house. It's like I cook, I clean, I do the laundry, and yet I've never heard a sincere thank you before. I try to cook nice food, but yet I think that it doesn't suit their tastebuds. I really don't know what I can do better. I'm really giving it all my energy, I too have assignments and tests, but I still do it cos I don't want them to get bothered with the chores. Besides, if they don't do it to my liking I have to end up doing it myself. That's why i save the hassle to ask for help and do it myself. Maybe going back to SG for awhile will make them appreciate me more, cos I'm starting to feel like "Maria".

I have a week or so to do another 2 assignments before flying back. Although it's not due till after the break, but I want to finish it before I leave so I can relax in SG and not think about work for awhile. I really won't have much time in SG, cos the main purpose for going back is to work and celebrate dad's birthday. And I still need to do some much needed shopping. So yea it leaves me very little time for my friends. So yea, if I don't get to see some of you, my sincerest apologies.

I've been wanting to put up some food pics during the week, it's not a lot, just some.

We had fish 'n' chips for dinner last night, but it wasn't a very pretty picture, and it wasn't really fish 'n' chips. It was disgusting, unappetizing fried fish. :( But I still think its nice.

I suddenly can't wait to finish studying, I really want to have a career, I want to start my life out there. Although many of you will say that it's not fun and it sucks. But I still want to go out there into the wilderness, and see the world. I hope KC will be beside me to share this experience with me, just like how I want to be with him.

OK, I think that's enough, before I get all emo again.

Stressful Stephy = Sleepless nights

I've been so stressed about work lately, its taken a toll on my sleep. The only time that I can relax and unwind. But work had to creep into my thoughts when I'm lying on my pillow. I tell myself to think of other stuff, to RELAX and LET GO.

Last week was terrible, this week was slightly better, but I can feel it building up again. I can't wait to hand in my assignments and sit for my test. (I'm actually in the middle of my assignment right now.) I thought being a Masters student should be more relaxed, but now I think otherwise. ALL the other students are soooo hardworking. I had 29.5/30 for my stats test, which I thought I did very well, but there were so many others that had full marks. I was above the average for my econs test, but half my tutorial class had higher marks than me. SERIOUSLY. I think they need to CHILL. I can't keep up man, I'll go INSANE.

Come to think of it, I really pitied Einstien. He had so much to think of, I wondered how he got to bed at night. Well, all my work will get rewarded soon. Cos' I'm going back HOME!!! Yes babes, you read it correctly. I'll be back in SG for a few days at the end of September, 24th to the 5th to be exact. Dad needs help, and it's his birthday, so I think he'll be more than willing to pay for my air ticket, which I was so lucky to still get a seat on SQ. No more Qantas for me, all those infamous headlines got me thinking twice.

I should get back to my assignment, abuse my brain further.

Happy & Sad

The moment I saw Faith's pictures on Facebook, I just had to come in here to blog.

Babe I'm so happy for u. I can just imagine you smiling and screaming. It has finally come true. Your happy news really brightened up my dark gloomy day. Can't wait to know the intimate details.

Had quite a hectic week but alls good. Had dinner with KC and his honours friends on Friday, which was followed up with a session of KTV that made some very happy and satisfied. Had been feeling very emo and all bitchy the last week, but things finally cleared after having a heart-to-heart talk with KC.

Yea these are some of the happy moments. Come to the sad ones now. I fell out with an old friend of mine, it's sad but I don't seem as sad as I thought it would be. But after thinking of all those times when you thought you were doing me a favour, all those times where you promised me you will come clean. I'm tired of listening to your plans and ideals that don't last, and at the end of the day the whole world is at fault but yourself. You try to paint a happy picture but I've never seen you complete a single portrait. When you have completed your first master piece, will I then be truly happy for you. I wish you all the best, and may God keep you safe, happy and healthy.

I never wanted things to turn out like this, but a collection of events and the forces of human emotions make it such. Where ever I may have hurt you, my sincerest apologies.
