procrastinate

2009-09-15T02:55:00.004+10:00

I obviously have not been updating my blog for a long long time.

I guess I am way more occupied now than before but I will try to make time to blog more because I do enjoy blogging for don't know what reason in particular.

Uni is as busy as usual but I can't be bothered to complain and telling you how busy I am because no one will truly understand by myself. (ironically I sounds like I am complaining)

Anyways, it's 6 more weeks to the end of semester! Woo hoo!! then it will be my 4 months summer vacation. too long? NAH! :p

I miss home, I miss Klang, I miss Singapore.

Back to uni work!!!!

Yupe, no photoshop! just good old film.

Thanks to Sun Hai Ting, my Nanjing Uni friend.

This was taken at the lovely Maroubra beach.

This shot was taken at Randwick.

Love love it!

It's so pretty, the colours, the focus, ~~the subject~~ *eh hemm*

I want 1 to0!

disconnected

2009-06-03T00:23:00.002+10:00

I feel so so so disconnected with all my close friends :(

and I hate it!

3 weeks to go

2009-06-02T23:42:00.003+10:00

Mom and Dad at Bondi Beach, Sydney.

Love this picture!

Last dinner we had before Mom and Dad left Sydney :) with Justin's family

These pictures were taken 3 weeks ago :) when mom and dad were here for my Bachelor graduation. (fyi,I'm graduated with my degree but I am currently still in uni doing my coursework master in architecture)

So this semester is the first semester for my 2 years master.

Finally, I finished my Studio submission yesterday "phew".

I'm a little less busy now but I still have 2 more assignments due and an exam to go before school ends. 3 more weeks before I officially 'merdeka' (when my semester ends).

I can't wait for winter holiday because I am going Europe with my family! hurrayy.. I'm very excited to get a break from this stressful semester.

I hope I'll start blogging again.. maybe I should do a facelift for my blog skin, oh! actually I wanted to convert my blog to my own domain so that i can have my own dot com but too lazy to learn how to do that :(

but I will, someday...

Anyway, I went to work for 2 hours today and dance class. I am tired and sleepy now. So, goodnight!

Back to posting!

2009-04-27T22:37:00.005+10:00

Geez, It has been a long time since i last posted an entry.

It has been an extremely busy semester and I foresee will be as busy for the next 6 weeks or so, which is mainly the reason why I am not able to post anything.

I have not been going out much and completely surrender my weekends to Uni work :( but luckily I like what I am doing despite the pain :)

However, Dad and Mom is coming next week!! for my graduation. Woo hoo, I am very excited.

Oh ya, I need to organize their itinerary.

Besides that, the Chinese student from Nanjing are here in Sydney. Last week we presented our final Nanjing studio project. It was the ~~never-ending~~ studio program that I did last summer in Nanjing and finally, it is officially over *phew*.

So, nothing really exciting to blog except school work and office life which will probably kill my readers' interest.

It's not all bad though, I do go out for dinners and make yummy dinners at home with my new lovely housemate.s Last weekend, we they made Bah Kut Teh, herbal chicken soup and curry laksa mee. yum yum!

I only had an hour of sleep yesterday because of my studio Interim submission today, so I better off to bed soon.

pictures, pictures!!! where???

Good Friday?

2009-04-10T06:48:00.002+10:00

I've moved to Kingsford, sharing an apartment with few friends.

I am extremely busy with school works,

that's why I literally didn't have any time to blog or

maybe it's because it's less liberating for me to blog these days.

It's Good Friday today,

I woke up at 5am to do work, because I slept at 9pm yesterday.

It has been very busy, tiring for the past few weeks, but I am glad it is.

I love school and work, it may be tiring but I enjoy it.

(it's a reassurance to meself)

It'll be our term break next week but as usual, I have quite a lot of things to do and I'm going to do 4 days of work.

I skipped my office this week, so I'll have to earn more to cover my expenses.

I'll try harder to spend less but it's not very easy, at least for me.

I am going for picnic later at the Botanical Gradens,

Hopefully will get to take lots ok pics :)

A little busier than I thought

2009-03-21T12:20:00.002+11:00

I've started school for 2 weeks now.

As usual, filled with ~~excitement~~ assignment.

Besides that, I go to office for 2 days a week.

It'll all good, I am still very excited with everything :)

I'll be moving to my new place very soon which is opposite my uni.

woo hoo, save on my transportation.

Mom and Dad are coming to Sydney in May for my Bachelor graduation. It's Dad's first time to the land down under, I'm very excited for him. I hope is not too chilly by then.

Sorry for lack of pictures these days, haven't been taking many pictures and no cam-whoring buddy, or maybe even if I do, I can't.

Way Home

New school!

2009-03-11T22:46:00.002+11:00

School started this week

wooo hooo!!

I am aesthetic

I have gotten all my project brief for all my courses and I am simply excited for this semester.

I am currently a little busier than usual simply because I need to finish up my Nanjing course work which I am procrastinating since last week *grrr..*,

do my school work (4 subjects this sem) and go to office (will try to go in 2.5 days a week).

Well, it is going to be a crazy semester but nevertheless I am super enthusiastic *keke*

I haven't move to my new place and still bunking at Justin's place.

I'll move into my new place by the end of this month and until now the room arrangement can't be confirm, so I may or may not share a room.
I better get back to work now.

Btw I watched watchman yesterday. It was quite nice but boring.

Mardi Gras 2009!

2009-03-08T23:50:00.021+11:00

It was Mardi Gras on Saturday.

Woo hoo....

I volunteered as a crowd controller.

It was great because I get to experience the parade in front of the barricade :p

This was the first butt I saw when I arrived at Oxford St

Poor kids waiting for mom to sell plastic chairs.

More interesting people.

Check out the leopard boobies, hanging freely and happily..

sexy french maid and ~~not-so~~ sexy brides.

Hot hot, I so thought he was a girl.

Damn, I was wrong.

real girls

Malaysia flag!

She looks like Ursula, the octopus villain in the little mermaid.

Don't you think so?

leather *grr....*

Hot body! (for my datin)

Bollywood

Look at the boobs!

Cute 3 thai sisters

Thai Diva

The area that I took care of.

Drama - a person fainted, which sadly I find it more interesting than the parade.

Rhun ing, jus and I

and lee shean too

We had late dinner together and went back home soon after.

We didn't go to the Mardi gras party.

boring, yea I am.

Saturday.

2009-03-07T12:28:00.003+11:00

I haven't been blogging much since I come back to Sydney.

I've been busy working at Sam Crawford Architect and doing some University work.

Besides that I am just waiting for school.

I'll be back to school next Monday, really excited! :) but as for this weekend is Mardi Gras,

I volunteered myself as a crowd controller :)

It'll be fun!

I'm pretty excited!

I'll promise to take some pictures and post it soon.

Chinese New Year 2009!

2009-03-07T11:59:00.009+11:00

I know it's a little bit long over due,

oh well.

I have had an amazing time during this Chinese New Year in Malaysia,

lot's of food, food, food, food, family and friends.

Kelly, Jaymy and I arrived Klang the day before Chinese New Year, just in time for Reunion dinner. Alimoto, Fuji, Justin and Sabrina joined us too.

Our house was packed!

My family and I

Studio in Nanjing

2009-02-19T23:46:00.006+11:00

Our studio session lasted for 3 weeks which is practically our whole trip.

This was one of our lecture in the same studio.

Well, I hardly listen to any of the lectures.

Me tutoring my professor's daughter :)
My favourite time of the day: Lunch! *and dinner too*
It was super cheap and they can deliver to the studio with no extra charges,

that explains my weight gain.
Oh..and I had so much Mandarin oranges, especially the mini ones. It was so sweet, nothing like the ones you get in Malaysia during Chinese New Year.
I ate so much that I could even make a flower and this was only a morning worth of consumption (approx 7).

First Day at Nanjing

2009-02-17T23:21:00.007+11:00

2nd January 2009: First day of studio in Southeast University, Nanjing.

Look at the site model (above) they made, impressive.
The studio was not the prettiest but good enough for us.
After morning briefing, we went straight to our site.

Our project site is an old industrial park which was introduced during the Qing Dynasty and reflects on the movement of westernisation in China. We were asked to redesign a section of the park and convert it into an art and culture/ commercial district (Basically to rejuvenate the site ~~for cultural and social gain~~ to gain profit ).
It was a fun site to work with until we realise the work load.

It has only been a month and I could hardly remember all the details, so just look at the pictures and it is no as if you guys are reading the text. am I right? am I right? you suck and I am handsome, see.. you are not reading :p
more to come

Back in Sydney!

2009-02-15T22:08:00.002+11:00

Now,
New Year has passed,
summer holiday is ending soon,
and I am back in Sydney.
I am looking forward for my new semester and my job.

I arrived Sydney yesterday from Singapore.
Well, I spent a few days in Singapore after leaving Klang to catch up with some friends.
Anyway, I had a lazy Sunday and bunk at Justin's place (because I am homeless atm). I will be back to work at Sam Crawford tomorrow.
My blog is going down with the economy crisis and yet I am so lazy to upload all my holiday pictures but I will do it soon!
:)

Back in Sydney!
No more holidays,
No more lazing around,
~~No more~~ Less food,
Back to Work!

Still in Nanjing

2009-01-22T04:51:00.003+11:00

Tomorrow (thursday) will be the last day of studio at Southeast Uni.

I am leaving Nanjing to Shanghai on Friday and Hangzhou on Saturday before I go back Malaysia.

Finally!

It has been so intense for the past 3 weeks, we literally work 7 days a week and hardly go anywhere except for uni.

I can't believe it's finishing soon, although we had over pre-final presentation yesterday but we still have so much work to be done for our final presentation at Sydney in April. It's fun, I have no regrets but it is way way way more work than i could ever expect. Imagine this, we hav to put up 20a1 boards in 1 week.

It amazing how much work we have done within these 3 weeks, it's more than 2 semester worth of work.

but it's all for good
I am simple excited to be back to Malaysia soon for Chinese New Year!

I can't wait!

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T20:48:00.003+11:00

I am back in Malaysia, Klang.

Happy New Year everyone!

It's 2009!

Can you believe it!

I do!

I am flying to Hangzhou tomorrow and will make my way through to Nanjing.

I am super excited to .... !

I am super excited for 2009,

for a new year,

for a new resolution,

It will be the best year ever! and so will be yours!

Have a great new year eveyone!

me at vivo on 29th Dec!

Back in Singapore again - Happy and Sad

2008-12-28T04:13:00.004+11:00

So I am back in Singapore for a couple of days.

from 25th -30th Dec to be exact.

I reached Singapore on 25th Dec (Thursday) at night.

After putting my stuff at Junko's place, I rushed to City Hall to meet up with Kenneth and Jacelyn. We had supper at Lau Pa Sat and stayed over at Jace's place, had a wonderful time with my best buddies! That nigth they made me laugh so hard that I could almost wee in my pants bit I didn't!

On Friday, Jace and I visited Jun Jie (Dancesport Friend from Poly) at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Jun Jie met with an accident last Sunday; He was riding his bike with Emi (his gf) and got knocked down by a drunk diver. He fell into coma since then and luckily Emi was safe and only suffered from light brushes and cuts.

It was terribly heart breaking to see Jun Jie, such a young (20years old) and handsome boy lying on a ICU bed with all the life-supporting systems attached to him. I chanted aloud beside his ear for 10mins (with Jacelyn on the other side), absolutely believing in the power of Daimoku (chanting) to awaken his Buddha nature within him and hope the best for him.

As you can see on the following post - Sadly Jun Jie left us on Saturday morning.

On Friday evening I met up with the rest of the Dancesport friends.

We had a great time at NYDC (Suntec) for dinner and took many picture as usual.

Later that evening I meet up with Poh Cheng at Balaclava and Yennee joined us as well. After Bala we went to Geylang, not for 'chicken' but beef hor fun.

After Hor fun we had tau foo fa, Hurrrayyy.... my favourite food of all time! :) with you tiau.. scrumptious!

On Saturday afternoon - I attended (my Poly classmate aka Datin) Zakiah's engagement which was the main reason for this trip :)

It was my first time attending a Malay engagement ceremony and it was indeed very interesting, tried to be a translator to my fellow non-Malay speaking friends but failed miserably. Anyway, I would like to congratulate my dearest Datin and I am truly happy for you! All the best Datin! Oh ya and the food was amazing. Of course I had to have 2 rounds :) + 1 round for desert! yum! yum!

After the engagement I went to Jun Jie's wake.

In the evening, I went to Singapore National Library to do some studies for the Nanjing trip next week.

I have to sleep soon because I have to wake up early tomorrow to attend Jun Jie's funeral.

I am sorry to hear that

2008-12-28T03:44:00.003+11:00

Jun Jie passed away today.

Please send your kind prayers to him and his family.

My deepest condolence to Emi and his family.

updates in klang

2008-12-23T03:40:00.004+11:00

Still no pictures?

Nope!

Last weekend was a slow weekend,

I stayed at home the whole day on Saturday and

prepared dinner for Sue Ann, Robin and Kexin. I made roasted chicken and roasted vegetables. It was relatively alright, I am happy with the roasted chicken. Ah Mei joined us later for movie at my place.

On Sunday I had brunch with Dad and Mom.

In the afternoon I went to midvalley with Ah Mei, Ah Meng and Choon See.

Dad and I had dinner at Berkeley with Lay Koon (my cousin) and family.

On Monday, I stayed at home the whole morning and accompanied Dad to see doctor in the afternoon.

In the evening I had dinner with Vivien (UNSW course-mate) and watched movie at Jusco Klang with another friend of hers, Lip ping.

Tomorrow I'll be going KL to collect my China Visa and meet a few more UNSW buddies for lunch. Vivien will be fetching me, hurrayy!! I'll accompany her to do her christmas present shopping as well.

It will be exciting!

I am going to Singapore on the 25th of Dec which is this Thursday!

ubber excited! :)

I am feeling a little bit guilty for spending little time in Klang but it's alright I guess..

Back in Klang!

2008-12-19T05:22:00.005+11:00

I came back to Klang (Malaysia) from Singapore on Tuesday.

On Wednesday I went to KL to apply my China Visa and jalan jalan alone! :)

Today, I did facial and had lunch with Vivien.

I am looking forward for my China trip on 2nd Jan which is very soon :)

Besides that, I'm just going to relax in Klang, spend time with Mom and Dad, catch up with friends. Oh ya, and I'll be going back to Singapore next week for a couple of days! very excited!

Sorry, no pics at the moment because I don't have a camera :(

not hinting just stating a fact. It's sad simply because I LOVE taking pictures so much. Oh well, I'll buy me'self a SLR when I can afford one. very soon i will! and did I mention that I lost my job in Sydney? :(

Anyway, I hope mom will loan me her camera to China or else I'll be camera'less :(

Back to the equator

2008-12-13T04:38:00.002+11:00

I am finally back in Singapore but I'll only be here for 2 days, so I might not be able to meet everyone but I'll come back during christmas.

I'll go back to Malaysia on Monday.

-Sydney-

I've been busy doing, erm.. preparing to go home i guess.

hence I hardly had time to blog.

Oh well, now that I am back to hot humid weather

I am in holiday mood (almost).

It took me an excruciating 12hours to get to Singapore from Sydney, thanks to Jetstar.

I'll miss Sydney.

Anyway, It's 1.40am now in Singapore and I arrived at 10.30pm earlier this evening. I am craving and dying to have local food here. I can't wait to have all the yummylicious kuey chap, kuey teow, rojak, nasi lemak, roti, yakun.. omg.. I'll try to eat everything tomorrow. In fact I am so excited that I can't sleep. hehe.

I hope i don't get sick with food which I am quite certain I won't.

Saturday @ Glebe! Again!

2008-11-30T12:57:00.009+11:00

Saturday Morning!
Breakfast: under chef Yuvi's supervision, Evolin and I prepared a scrumptious and simply delicious gourmet breakfast,
*drum roll* please ...
Poach egg and saute spinach on English muffin with hollandaise sauce and served with baked tomatoes.
I know how to make it! (Mom will be very proud of me) Woo hoo!
let me know if you want the recipe.
:)
it's a killer breakfast recipe for your love ones.

After breakfast, we scrapped our plan to do picnic at Bondi,
instead we went to Glebe Market!
yupe.. again!
I bought a jumper which is only $30 from
peteversustoby
and Yuvi bought a few dresses from
stellino

We had lunch at Glebe! a vegetarian cafe.
After that we walked to Surry Hills to do more shopping!
It was great, found this wonderful place called Mushu
where I bought some souvenirs to bring back to Malaysia and so did Evolin. Yuvi bought a beautiful dress from there as well. It was indeed a productive day.

While walking along Crown St at Surry Hills, we stumble upon a cupcake boutique.
It was the best cupcakes I've ever tasted (yet), called Sparkle Cupcakery
which is apparently similar to the Sprinkles cupcakes at LA.
Oh well, it's very good though.
I love the Greentea cupcakes which had sago inside and yummy icing on top.
The cakes are not too sweet which is at ++
Try it!
it's $4.50 each, pricey but worth trying.
Look how happy they are!

It was a great Saturday!
