especially when lots have been happening.
i mean, LOTS.
lets see if my colourful soap opera life fits in dotpoints....
so my new place is rad.
housewarming and halloween was every better!
messy, but better.
met someone who could've been someone,
but i guess he didnt believe in it as much as i did,
or believe in me. or himself.
and its just such a waste. ah the fragility of humans.
sometimes i wonder where i get my patience and forgiveness from.
im not a bad person and i dont know why i let myself believe that at times im not good enough.
its not my fault if you can't man up to see me standing right there before you.
cant say i would regret anything, because it only makes me want to be
a better, stronger person, for myself and people in my life who deserve it.
its another reminder that i should live for myself in the here and now.
and that i owe it to everyone else who loves and care for me,
to love and care for myself too. amen.
ps, i dont know who u think u are to insult me or more importantly my family,
but you have alot of living to do young man, and i wish you well.
new friends and old/lost friends came back into my life.
im so glad to have such great people around me.
and the way they enter or come back to you couldnt be of utmost timing,
that sometimes you just feel blessed. that maybe after all, there are greater things to come
casey palmer, i think you deserve this bit.
to the girl who once use to snob me when we both first started uni,
im glad somehow, we managed to take the chance and time to hang out.
and ive really found a great friend, partner in crime, spew buddy in you.
you're godawesome. the un-chicken, un-minion version of the adventure thrill seeker i am.
the best part is that youve seen me in my best and worst days, and you always manage to turn my frown upside down. YEEEEEEAPPWW!
and you've defo made my life a little more colourful and unsober.
i love the chick you are and the person you make me become.
you keep this emotional wreck, grounded.
undeniably the best roadtrip/travel fart buddy.
ive never felt more like a student in my life till this semester.
self paced time management, getting heaps off assignments done
just one after another and another.
but jurien bay research project was fun. no seriously, FUN!
with all the great people you meet, the fishing and squidding
(caught my first squid and it was massive!!) the boozing, late night strolls and piggy back rides, bonfires. if only the bouncy castle was still inflated!! haha.
even took my first dump in the bushes!! LOL! now thats a story.
so yep, i guess only results will tell how well the semester went for me,
tho i am pretty confident! :)
uni is getting harder. and i guess i have decisions to make in terms of how long i want to stay in perth, and if the double degree is such a good idea. oh, and mapping out my next course of action too.
but im definately gonna give applying for PR a shot.
lu-anne came to visit for a week!! :)
it was fun and comforting to have home away from home.
it was fun and comforting to have home away from home.
took her to newport, the perth royal show, freo markets and harbour for sunday sesh, llama bar and hip-e club, taco night, fishing, hillarys boat harbour, gyspy tapas, garden city.
great great great week! such fun and carefessness with smiles and laughter to prove it.
and many photos that im too lazy to upload here since its in facebook, hehe.
havnt had much time to catch up with relatives this semester.
only seen my godparents, yvette, darren and (uncle)mr eds and aunty merle over my godma's 60th which was lovely. and another time when i bumped into my godparents at kaili's.
new year's resolution #1: make more time for the people in your life.
on the flip side 2 of my cousins gt married! but i missed it because i was in perth having exams! :( i wish you both well and great happiness! pity chinese new year is the day before my term commences :( i would definately have to make it up and make time to see my grandparents. i had a dream of my grandmother! oh how i miss her and waking her up from her naps when i use to live with her when i was 'yay' tall. hehe.
speaking of weddings,
abigail jansen is getting married! or well, already has but the ceremony is next year.
and im (the shortest) one of the bridesmaids!
it took me awhile to agree to it though. i couldnt comprehend, why me?
we were never that close in secondary school to begin with, and lets face it,
neither of us were exactly the nicest of friends to each other.
but given certain happenings in my life, i decided to catch up and just go for it.
people can change, right?
right on. i think she's gone so far in life, from the person she was and grown into this woman,
who's found someone who brings out the best in her and vice versa
that she's now accomplished; with a job, marriage and clear expression of no kids in the near future (haha). im so so proud and happy for this girl, and i couldnt have been happier to be standing with her on the altar, and pulling her dress up if she needs to pee.
you really know you've found someone, when you both can just act like kids together.
new year's resolution #2: dont forget you're allowed to act like a kid once in a while.
can't wait for the wedding!
though im still routing for you to have a little one on the way soon gail!! haha.
anyway, pictures are from when i was massively hungover and whinging when we caught up for a dress fitting and a 6hr lunch and coffee date where nadia (another bridesmaid) and gail TRICKED me into eating a bloody FISH EYEBALL! :(
one movement festival was fun.
wasnt really into the acts, just went there for the company.
wasnt really into the acts, just went there for the company.
from mark's bday in mt lawley then into perth.
overall, pretty awesome day getting lost from people and just soaking in the atmosphere and sun and got to catch up with most of the jurien people,
and laugh at them at uni the next day when they rock up still seedy faced. hehe.
at least this time around i got to see more of perth,
or at least broaden my range of places i go to, which is good.
the highlight of the semester was the post exam days!
ROADTRIP!!
headed up north with casey and valerie and toby sitting next to me, quiet for once!
first stop, dongra- master 4wdriver hit a tree this time around, was so funny! HAHA.
stomped on ant holes, got burnt on the beach (yes even asians burn!:( )
pub dindin was really good! and drinks. and the movie 'hook' after but all of us fell asleep! HAHA.
all but toby who kept annoying val and i the whole night.
rise and shine early next morning, and off the dampier we went 12hrs straight!
mama palmer made great pasta for tea and we just relaxed.
made a curry the next day, guitar hero and love actually made for a relaxing day.
other trip highlights include quad biking (awesome!), crabbing, fishing, getting raped by flies, point samson fish and chips, wave skiing, slicing my thumb open, bbq, horse riding into the beach, mexican night and drunken mermaid nights! sick fun!!
oh! and i bumped into chris, who lives on the same street as me but we never catch up, only to see and hang out together 2000km away from perth. thats unreal! haha.
had such a blast with casey and val, made great friends. i love dampier and its lifestyle.
one week there and im mellow as a marshmellow. great (drunken) times.
especially on the last pissy night. oh so so funny, PABLO!
new year's resolution #3: live. laugh. love. and travel!
oh, and i dispise people like you who think u are gods gift to women,
who thinks u have the right to label people.
i just find it so insultingly rude that just because im asian and look so different from everyone else in the pub, that even in my flip flops and beach dress, you did what you did. theres a different between being cheeky and just a jerk. i dont know why i let you make me get so upset, but its people like you i dispise so so much who think u can get what you want.
honey, never in a million years. i hope you burn in herpes hell.
after a week of obnoxious eating and drinking, i declare, DETOX MODE!! :(
hello salads and not so much hello to yummy singapore food and alcohol.
overall, this semester with the people coming and going in my life.
ive learnt how to just be happy. easier said then done, but i try to make it a point to make sure i wake up every morning a happier, better person buldozing my way through.
definately looking forward to going up to sweden for a white christmas and spend sometime with my sisters, and my dad who i have now gotten to know in a new light.
i guess it is true, another year older, another year wiser.
so right now,im just on a high on life :)
mellow and optimistic.
mellow and optimistic.
esp after the news this morning, and the happy dance i did when no one was watching.
i just know i must be doing somethings right to feel like i am on the right track.
thank you big man up there!
new year's resolution #4: BE HAPPY!! and grateful (meaning to whinge less missy!)
ps. happy holidays! i know im having them! :)
