fix you.

Starfunny says:
yes im good
if only my mood was the same
alot of things are wrong,

but i cant put my finger on it 'just one of those, u know?

being away from home? bad days?
life gets like that sometimes.. but there's always happy times ahead
cheer up

maybe being away from home. i guess this is the first inevitable road bump.
when u try to push the grass is greener theory.'
i just have alot of questions to myselg sometimes. and i upset myself.


sometimes you gotta water your own

its just the 'what was i thinking wanting to come here' when my life was perfect already but i needed more

it's probably just a transitional point in your life your wondering why and what and feeling worried and unsatisfied because your futare is uncertain

i hit my ultimate low yesterday.
my heart is sick

what? what happend why?

the 'what am i doing here' hit me.
its just a reality check kind. dont know if you get that
not homesick. more like, why did i leave my life when i thought it was screwed but looking back i had it all going for me. but i thought id find something better, you know?

so you would like to have your "old" life back?
why isnt your life so good now?

i dont know if its there for me to go back to
i didnt say its not good. its just, uncertain and i guess im scared of failing.


well.. no one else than you can find that out...
but we shape our own future


fly away from here. fix you.

ahchooooooo

no updates as of the past week because.
IVE BEEN SICK!!
from sunday.
and when i went to the doctor, no prescribtion.
apparently my body just doesnt respond to anti biotics.
so just been ordered bedrest and panadols which she says wont help.
anyway, cottlesloe beach is lovely, so was the company and il gelato.
i made a friend, simon the seagull.
chilled with ine and audrey after,
ine and i finished a whole bottle of vodka??!!
ruby room on saturday was alrightttt.
the crowd tends to get weird during certain hours.
and yes, maybe i am out of your league so stop whining.
whimp.
on the contrary, jake who we met there sent us all the way home in a cab,
even tho he lives on the other side of perth and it came up to $100++.
such a sweetheart.
and i love my sundays at freo.
tho it was the start of my backache (WHY?!!)
which seemed to become a fever, then flu which lasted till now.
and i feel miserable.
it makes me feel more alone.
ive just always been so pampered when i'm sick.


oh how i feel so, helpless.

matthew's 21st went alright, that boy can driiiink.
14 shots and still standing.
cant wait to see what tmr and saturday will bring him. HAHAH.

with priceless company.

oh how i will spoil my husband-to-be.

burp! :S

so freo was awesome.
lil creatures were too packed for charlene and i,
so to kailies.
their calamari is better then cisarellos.
and nothing beats a glass of white on a sunday arvo.
nor 2 ;)

to the beach after. it was nice.
just chilly after awhile because of the breeze.
but it was a great lovely day
and i loved the company.
and the quiet time, you know.
with your ipod in your hand and the sun between your toes as it set.
going back to the station was a bitch tho.
cant believe no one helped, or was kind enough hey?
haha.
anyways. speed grocery shopped because my poor housemate was waiting.
(FYi grocery shopping is a satisfaction that should be gone through slowly for maximum pleasure)
dinner menu: tbone steak with heavy mushroom and garlic sauce, served with spagetthi and asparagus on the side.
OMG it turned out the best so far XOXO.
then watched the olympic game between china and singapore which ended singapore's 48yr medal dought.

today was a non stop hits with the back to back classes. 1130 - 430. then again at 530 - 630.
first time i fell asleep in a lecture at 6 today. zzzzz.
i guess i gotta get use to my mondays like these hey.
had audrey over for dinner. always better to eat with company.
defrosted my own home-made tv dinner - spagetthi sauce.
made some meatballs from scratch, boiled some spagetthi, added cheese and wala! :)
and needless to say, im UBER stuffed now.
even trying to finish all my food that somehow expires on the same day!
21st Aug. i think i need to buy 4d.
but yes, so plenty of stuffing on foos before then
and then ill be hungry and foodless after thursday.
whippee.

we have a new tenant,
some china girl.
i hope the considerate kind.
anyway, i saw the room again
and come to think of it, i might have picked the smaller one :(
but it defos has a smaller bed with a shitty matteress
(i swear the previous tenant of this room was a pig, its half sunken in)
bottom line, it is NOT COMFORTABLE.
the cupboard has more shelvings. where as mine has, well, NONE.
hanging is limited though, so i win on that.
but BED. i need a bigger bed.
i swear mine is like, mini single or something.
meow.
maybe in the middle of the night i will creep out of my room and change the mattress,
or bed :)
shhhhhhhh

hitting the books soon.
or maybe sack. just too worned out today :(

coming down under

so its been so long since i saw this page.
and about 3 weeks ive been here.
first off euphoria is dissolving into the need for reassurance
to why i even started this adventure.

its sad that i miss food from back home the most.
maybe its just because i havnt been eating very well since i came.
and i wished that showed, then at least id complain less.

certain people i miss because they've become such routine to my life,
that somehow, everything crashes down to being disfunctional from time to time.
but i need this stepping stone, so i need to suck it up.
if not for me, then for the future.
mama's gonna be so proud.

anyway, im fortunate to have made great friends.
is it me are aussies in school not as friendly as how aussies are painted to be?
made friends with people from norway, kenya, mauritius, germany, and handful from singapore.
and its swell. they ease my transitional periods.

right about now the sun these days are out more often.
makes the cold barable. oh how i love the sun and cant wait for the summer!
thinking of packing a picnic basket and head out now now now.
or little creatures at freo is heaven for a glass of white on a chilled sunday. <3

ill try to update as much as possible now.
seeing how my schedule doesnt really allow me to keep in touch with each and everyone.
pictures wise, am i jolly backdated OR WHAT.
especially with the many installations of my farewell...

Youth In Touch with the Tpiranhas Oldfarts
Sunday brunch with the favourites
Quiz nights
Lomo shots!!
Sentosa with Lu and Momo (MORE LOMO SHOTS!!!!!) :)
Equinox!! <333333
Dinner at the Lius, and my last supper at home.
nerds party in the office
CHINAONE 'steph goes down under' party

and even from far far away i got good news on the proposal that ive been working hard on.
that we've all been working hard on, the late late hours.
and its a kick in the face of those who previously thought im dumb and not worthy of being entrusted with the huge responsibility of doing up a porposal.
oh the liberating power of empowering.
and it paid off. hugely. ionixed yo.
and the many many smaller events i did when i was in concept 360.
its just serendipity and i miss that the most.
from facing aunty juju, to being the queen of thailand.
its a hard work of fun.
and the crew are in beijing now. with f1 coming up too, itll be busy busy.

got a chance to see people in aussie land whom ive not seen in so long too!
the last time i was here was 8 years ago!
godma and godpa, who took me out to dinner at hyatt hotel and then to the cas at burswood, (!!)
and the get together at bernie's for val, maddi and bren's bday,
uncle/mr ed and aunty merle - thought they're frequent singapore visitors
uncle dons - saw him in singas not too long ago, but the rest of the fam, aunty doreen and brenda, its been AGES! and bren was telling me stories about how the girls would take care of the younger girls way way back, when we were about 3-6.
then theres of corse uncle barney! and val, oh funny bubbly val.
as well as bernie and her beautiful family.
the winter cold was out the garage door and the warmth exuberated from everyone's face.
except dad, whos lonely heart showed.
but i guess your destiny or fate is how you chose it be.
and i just hope you're happy, then i am.

school school school. is ok, still.
because ive kinda taken all these basic subjects either in secondary school or poly.
seeing how 'hospitality and tourism management' has nothing to do with 'conservation and wildlife biology', i was initially hesitant. but its turning out ok.
i guess at this stage its still the revision of old topics (ie MATH AND SCIENCE) which i havnt touched in 6 years.
but im quite happy. i expected to be here at least 3 yrs but apparently i can complete it within 2.5 with a double major.
but ive still pushed it to 3, with double major and a minor.
marine science please!
cant wait to start diving here!
and driving.
and surfing.

did i already mention i HEART FREO! ?!
its such a summerised atmosphere of the free, hippie arty farty soul,
ie me.
its just, lovely.

and i hope theres much more to discover,
more great people i'd meet.

my adventure will continue.
stay tuned, matie.
