today i over slept... When my alarm clock rang at 7.20am, my unconscious being (the brain in my hands) switched it off. The next thing that happened was that i had a dream that i was traveling with my mum in a dodgy location. In my dream i needed to go to the toilet, but the place was so dark and unsafe, and there were 2 men staring at us so i was very scared to go pee. then we came across this female cubical that is 'secured' i.e. when you go in, it's steel doors will auto lock and no one can go in and harm you. so when i went into the toilet, there was somehow a queen-sized bed in there too.
I know... i might have underlying insecurities about peeing.. and this is not the first scary toilet dream i've had.

anyways... as i was contemplating going to pee, i woke up into reality and stared at my clock... it was freaking 8.20am!! I panicked.. but managed to change and stuff a breakfast bar into my bag by 8.35, and left the house EARLIER than what i would have on normal days -.-

But anyways.. i'm in the computer lab now... bored from studying mammary glands. Guess i should resume studying again.

I wanna change my blog address real soon, and i have a few ideas for new blog names. But i though that i should myself off mybrain-explained first.

2nd week of school just ended today.. and already it feels like it has been months. And so many people are feeling drained (RIGHT?!) During the first week i was very diligent, keeping my post/pre-lecture studying up to date, but when 2nd week started, everything started piling up, not only because my brain is already dead by the last lecture... but also because there's just wayyyyyyywayway too much to read (RIGHT?!) Next week we have 5 FIVE F I V E practicals.. plus Regional Anatomy of the Dog (RAD) dissection the following week, which is the hardest to prepare for caz we dont even have anatomy of the head lectures so it's down to SELF LEARNING... what do they pay the anatomy lecturers for man.

BTW why can't i change my font size on blogger... i feel like i'm going blind, the words are so small.

I like to celebrate birthdays, but the hardest part is buying the presents (RIGHT?!). Surprises are nice, but it's much better getting someone something they really want. Then again if you openly state what you want for your birthday, does that make you demanding?? Shouldn't they person spending the money be allowed to choose what they buy for you? (i suggest a wishlist then) WHY AM I EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS.

Random: Went to Chilli padi with Mae, Avril, Gezziebooboo (her real name), Chingy, Vivien today. I LOVE THE GINGER TEA! Before that went to shop for my bro's bday present. He won't read my blog, so it's quite safe. I bought him a gift card. It's not like i didn't put in effort to buy him an actual physical gift. It's that i couldn't find one... the fantabulously(it's a word) awesome SHIRTS SHIRTSSSS i wanted to buy him had no size. So it's really not fated right. Hopefully he spends the gift card. I have a feeling it'll sit in his room and collect dust for a while. Myabe i should show him the card then keep it and buy him when i find something nice. Hate buying stuff for men.

Oh man i'm actually blogging.

Shower time :)

Hello!

I'm probably the worst blogger in the world. I almost NEVER...well actually never update at all (though I changed my blogskin for fun). Everyone should give the constant bloggers a pat on the back for being diligent.

Anyways, i thought I’d give a quick update on things.

So Gezziebooboo came down from her native island called Malaysia, and more specifically her kampong called PJ (right?), so that we could do slave labour at a place called Jurong frog farm.

ALSO! For the first time, all of us (almost) were present to celebrate the 20^th birthday of the very special Chingy at Esplanade and Raffles City. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

After which, it was a rather long week at the frog farm, which for me was okay. The other farms we’ve been to was more fun, but this was quite interesting as well. And gezzel got to try soya bean ice cream from Mr. Bean. She claims that she doesn’t like soya bean milk (you do now!) but she enjoyed the ice cream, and everybody else should go try it.

I totally missed the tattoo convention, thanks to work, and I didn’t get to see Chris Graver whose pic I saw in the papers today, and he was really cute ): sorry mei.

So that’s it for now, see you in a week’s time (:

Thank God for thw Rain!

Hello bloggersphere, one that i've abandoned for the past few weeks, and every now and then.

The torturous yet exciting year of first year vet science is almost at its end. I say almost because the horror will not end until I find out if i've passed all my subjects. If i have to repeat first year i'll just go tie myself onto train tracks.
It felt so weird waking up today. Firstly, I slept for more than 10 hours, and when i did wake my first instinct was to check the alarm clock to see if i've overslept, and wonder if i'd meet my studying quota for the day. I'm so free now, honestly the things i wanted to do while studying does not seem as interesting. Some how procrastination bears much more of a thrill.

Since I have nothign to blog about now i shall talk about what I dreamt of last night
I dreamt that I was volunteering in a zoo, and they had lots of baby cubs of some sort, I think it was lion cubs. And I had to bottle feed them... SO CUTE! And after work I had to go for a special concert of some sort, and one of the last surprises in the show during the finale was that my family in Singapore came to visit me, and the person on stage was deb's mum. AND she just delivered a baby boy! AND in my dreams i was like: OMG that looks exactly like baby ryan! Then the baby suddenly grew so tall and when he was standing next to Huay Yi he was even taller than her, and he started to run about although he was new born :S
Then we went to a really odd jewellery shop to buy something for the baby. Yeh I know my mind's weird.

anyways that's all for now

Metro Station was on 5th October, and it was really really good!
The opening band was Missing Hours, and they were (surprisingly) freaking awesome.

And Gez and I got there just in time to snag really good standing spots on STEPS! So we had a good view. They only have one album out, so before you know it, the concert's over, which took probably 1/2 the time we spent waiting for them to come on.. WORTH IT THOUGH! And i got a really good vid of the song Kelsey, which i'll upload when i wake up early enough to catch the off-peak internet period haha.

Trace Cyruc the guitarist/ co-vocalist of Metro Station... And yes he's Hannah Montana's (miley cyrus') 1/2 brother. Though they prolly look nothing alike.

Trace again :)

The other dude on the mike is Mason Muso, who's younger brother is also a star on Hannah Montana ( a disney channel kid's series FYI). Their mummies intro-ed them to each other on the hannah montana set. Mason's the lead vocalist.

This is the opening band Missing Hours.. Why should we listen to Missing Hours??

1) They are from Geelong, Melbourne!
2) It's a female-fronted rock group
3) They sound awesome live
4) Good old rock band!!

ANDDDD!!
Being the rock fan that i am... and the facebook junkie, I went to their facebook fan page and joined it. Then i posted:

Everytime I see this I drool.

ANDD! It's 2nd hand, see how pretty it is! Only $800.

Original price $1,034.00 for a plain looking beige one. So I guess this one would be around $2000++ originally??

I want money for christmas from now on haha! So i can go buy one in Melbs.

Oh did i mention! It's a Fender Malibu cut away acoustic.
I WANT ONE a CUTAWAY TOO!

Won't Someone Stop This Train

2008-09-30T04:49:00.000-07:00

No I'm not dead yet.

I've been reading everyone's blog regularly, catching up with what's happening around the world (well, Melbs and SG) beyond Animal Health Management and Welfare.
Anyways here's what's happening. I shall exclude the bad stuff this time (well most of it, mainly because i don't feel like talking about it).

Mum and dad are here. Kinda glad, because mum's supervision makes me procrastinate less, so I can get a tiney fraction of my work done. Well, better than nothing right.
My brother finally graduated. And of course I am MOST PROUD. Not of my photography skill. I guess I was watching him cross the stage, catching the moment through the tiny camera hole, and my hand did not click as many times as i thought it did. Guess my multi-tasking skills aren't as good (or is even worse) as(/than) i thought. That's besides the point, I feel guilty, luckily we took nice photos before hand.

Just finished reading Eclipse (the 3rd instalment to the Twilight series which EVERYONE should read). Don't you wish you could be as lucky as Bella. I would gladly live in constant danger to have even 1/2 of what she has (i.e. either Jacob or Edward). Those who read the story knows what I mean.

Ok on to more interesting matters. On the 27th and 18th, I helped out at the Royal Melbourne Show. haha indulge me for a second: YAY FREE PASSES! And nice fluffy alpacas. On the first day I was there alone, and Valencia the girl I was handling (alpaca not human of course) won 4th, and Benoit (the alpaca farmer) let me keep the 4th place ribbon :D. And poop scooping for 18 alpacas is a really tough job, there's just too much shit around haha. Thankfully The Gez aka GezzieBooBoo was there on the 2nd day. It was quite boring most of the day, caz there wasn't as much to show as I thought, and we sat around in the cold breeze/burning sun. And we were also on the losing team, and that sucked. So when it came down to the very very last alpaca, his name is Fire Dragon (yup Gez's bear is named after him), Gez and I decided it was time to intervene. So we used our magical words of wisdom and gave Fire Dragon a pep talk, telling him how he was our last hope of being the only alpaca from the farm to win first place, and putting alot of pressure on him. After which, he strutted into the ring like the champ that he is, and HE WON 1ST PLACE!!! After which he also won the Championship for his age category.
Then the deciding moment came... it was time for the supreme championship... where the champion of the champions was gonna be picked out (i.e. Supreme Champion = the best alpaca of the entire show across all age groups within that species of alpaca). And surprisingly Fire Dragon won that!!!! We were having a ribbon drought, then suddenly, we claimed the biggest prize, it could not have been better! I was seriously happy for Benoit and Philippa, and they are not paying me to say this, but i am truely happy for them.
Anyway sorry for making you read through that extremely boring animal talk here's some pictures:

FIRE DRAGON!!! RAWRRRR

She was actually really talking to her. Marichi and Gez

The judges were really judging the humans not their furry masters

Sancho, Arturo and Sergio. Aren't the brothers just so darn cute!

Me and Sancho (we didn't win anything)

Yvette (another fellow vet student) with the judges checking out her farm's alpaca

Valencia, the girl who won 4th, and whose ribbon I am treasuring!

Benoit and Magnifica. He didn't want me to take this photo really haha

Me and Magnifica on day 1

Isn't magnifica just sooo cute... You really wanna cuddle her don't you!

GezzieBooBoo with Exquisito

Yup, I actually have all their names memorised. and i just love the smell of alpacas. Oh and I shouted at this annoying guy who tried to scare the alpacas. He truely had it coming, I wonder why he didn't see me in the next pen with a poop shovel in my hand glaring at him when he took out his squeeky toy to scare the alpacas. I wonder why i didn't smack him in the head. But he ran off so quickly I didn't get a chance to have a 2nd look at him... hmmm.

I need a shower.

2008-09-18T04:05:00.000-07:00

Today was the dreaded Physiology test, but not so dreaded in a sense that it was an open book test. Honestly, this the only test out of the entire year that I actually finished studying within schedule. BUT when I sat infront of the test paper, I completely blanked out on Respiratory physiology... OH WELL! I made full use of the 'open book' theme. It's all good! Because after tomorrow, we have no school for the next two weeks.
The sad thing about that is that we have 3 essays to complete, and 3 practicals i have to read up on. And mind you, not mini essays but huge ones, but at least it's better than writing about Socrates 2 yrs ago, when I had hardly any background knowledge on the History Of Ideas.

(omfg i'm blogging)

When the pig lecturer finally said GET OUT OF HERE! everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's just been an awefully long week, with the prac and the physio test, and spending every half day that i had in the library (but i ended up drawing on the whiteboards or talking). And it's not only me who's been doing that, a lot of ang mohs (surprise surprise) were also at the library, and there are even regulars. On tuesday the tutorial study rooms were all booked out by my fellow nerds, so Tammy (the librarian) convinced me that the small room next to the photocopier was good. It was not bad, except the dude in the lounge area next door was flirting with a girl so it got a lil noisy. OMG i'm talking crap.

After class, me suemae and gez had a simultaneous craving for Max Brenner. So after buying tix for the train to our next farm destination (Shepparton), we headed to the bald man's chocolate shop for yummy choc pizza, souffle and mousse. The branch at Melb central usually have all asian stuff, but there was this really yummy and TALL ang moh working there today. GOSH stop it, is it ok for me to comment about guys the way guys comment about girls??!

After which, I headed to Sanity to look for The Academy Is...'s new album: fast Times At Barrington High. I expected not to see it there, caz they are not that famous here. BUT LOW AND BEHOLD the have it! *tears* If anyone wants the songs i'll be happy to spread the music. Yes i have listened to the whole album already and the verdict is................... sadly it's not as good as their 2nd album Santi and 1st album Almost Here. but nevertheless, there are still several nice tracks. And can you believe it, William beckett the lead singer wrote all the songs and melodies to all the tracks. But he had help for quite a number of tracks of course.

That's all for now!

Ok, here goes another nonsense post

2008-09-17T05:10:00.000-07:00

This is a really nice song, it's called Sacred by (yes another 'emo' band) Tokio Hotel.
I just don't understand how someone can write something like that. I mean sure, this is really sweet and heart wrenching, but there is no 'practical application'.
The only scenario i can picture this in is Titanic or Romeo+Juliet...

I'm still awake for you
We won't make it together
We can't hide the truth
I'm giving up for you now
My final wish will guide you out
Before the ocean breaks apart
Underneath me
Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred
I'm dying but I know
Our love will live
Your hand above
Like a dove
Over me
Remember
To me you'll be forever sacred

You break the ice when you speak
With every breath you take
You save me
I know that one day
We'll meet again
Try to go on as long as you can
Even when the ocean breaks apart
Underneath you
Remember

To me you'll be forever sacred
I'm dying but I know
Our love will live
Your hand above
Like a dove
Over me
Remember
To me you'll be forever sacred

Forever you
Forever sacred
Forever you
You will be sacred
In your eyes
I see the hope
I once knew
I'm sinking
I'm sinking
Away from you

Don't turn around
You'll see
You can make it
Never forget

To me you'll be forever sacred
I'm dying but I know
Our love will live
Your hand above
Like a dove
Over me
And one day
The sea will guide you
Back to me
Remember
To me you'll be forever sacred
To me you'll be forever sacred

Lonely Heart's Lust

Lonely hearts set minds on fire
Forbidden fruit of loins desire
Pushed aside, cast adrift
Pretty thing creates such a rift
Guilt and worry burning bright
Pretty may have lost the fight
Lust and love intertwining
All her fear, still pretty is pining
Fear of anger, fear of the big reject
When will handsome ever be direct?

She writes, very emo, dark, sexual poems/rhymes, but she is very good at it!

Melbourne Spring Fashion Festival

2008-09-06T05:44:00.000-07:00

Most people didn't know, but this whole week has been the Melbourne Spring Fashion Festival, and tomorrow's the last day.I went for the one at Melbourne Central on Wednesday night, and it was pretty good. We (me, my bro and his friends) went early so we got a perfect spot. Plus, I told my bro to bring a step stool, and it turned out to be a great idea, caz we were heaps taller than other people, thus got better shots, and the models were 'inclined' to look at the weirdly tall photographer. So here are some of the pics taken with my bro's bro camera. The pics were taken my both me and my bro.

Yeh she's gorgeous and she knows it

ALL the guys thinks she's hot, but I think she's only not too bad. Go asian model!

GAA! she even walked like a zombie

Haha I take credit for this one ok? caz i dont have as many nice shots as him. Haha thank you my handy two-step ladder!

This is me post-plastic surgery. She is so pretty real life.

I wish I had her hair (and body and eyes and nose and and and..)!

"Crazy person on a ladder hmph!"

She's one of the few that looked good in real life AND on camera

Oh yes please! I'd like some hunk with chips on the side!

Twins that have struck the genetic lottery in the looks department

I know what you girls are thinking... not enough male models right! I know i was disappointed too!

Panic At the Disco, Rod Laver Arena 23 08 08

2008-08-23T08:37:00.000-07:00

This is my 21st post... how pathetic!! Anyways...

I remembered buying tickets for PATD, it was early April, and I was tearing at the sight of the comcert promo in the newspaper. Now, 4 and 1/2 months later, the concert finally arrived!!

Opening bands:
1) Black and White
2) Cobra Starship
3) The Academy Is... (TAI)

We were at Rod Laver Arena about 2 hours before the concert started, and there were surprisingly not many people! Which was good, because it allowed us to be really close to the stage in the mosh pit. BUT! thanks to the crazy moshing people, we were gradually being pushed back and ended up at the back of the moshing crowd. Which was ok, since there weren't many people in the mosh pit anyways (sadly for the bands). After the opening bands, we were tired of being squashed to our deaths, and VERY thirsty, so we made our way out of the crowd and bought very over priced drinks before heading back to the back of the pit. YOU KNOW WHAT! The view was much better at the back, caz the pit was small in the first place, and it was not crowded at all! I've never screamed so much in my life, my throat is gonna be sore tomorrow, and I might have done enough jumping to give me leg cramps tomorrow. But of course it was all worth it:)

BLACK AND WHITE:
Whoever they were, they won't be very famous after this, caz they weren't all that exciting. But it could have been worse... it could have been Miley Cyrus instead.

COBRA STARSHIP:
- Gabe Saporta (vocals) is probably one of the sexiest lead singers alive. He really got the crowd worked up and alive with his dance-inducing vocals and HOTHOTHOT hip grinding actions in his HOTHOTTHOT white pants.

- Although I only knew two songs, Guilty Pleasure, and Snakes on A Plane (Bring It), the other songs are awesome, and I am sooo gonna dl all the others, which included Smile for the Paparazzi, Hollaback Boy etc etc... Snakes on A Plane (Bring It), the duet sung by Cobra and TAI, was probably my favourite song of the night, because they sound awesome individually and even better together.
YAY COBRA STARHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO
TAI and Cobra are best friends btw...

THE ACADEMY IS...:
- So after watching hundreds of their videos on youtube, and listening to their songs on repeat, I must say it was worth doing so, becaz being able to sing along with them was unreal

- William Beckett (vocals) sounds better in person than on record, and he's way cuter. I remember watching him sing Everything We Had and the first word that came to my mind was: Angel. He can really really sing, and did his signature 'jump on the drum' move... MARRY ME BILL!!!

-Sisky Business (Bass) looks ok on film and in pictures, but tonight, he looks better than ever. I was pleasently surprised.

- I watched The Butcher (drummer) quite a fair bit during their performances, staring at his tattoos, and watching him rock those drums like crazy. His movements were almost hypnotic haha.

- And before we entered the stadium I spotted Jack the Camera guy and took a picture with him. I've been watching something called TAI TV, which is a youtube video series about the daily lives of TAI. The person who films it all is the wonderful Jack, and it was nice to see that he was getting some of the fan action he needed. I was hoping that he would come out and film a TAI TV episode and he did! If you don't know what to watch on youtube, TAI TV's your answer, even if you don't like the band, caz they are pretty funny:)

-Songs played were: Slow Down, We've got a big mess, Everything We Had, Checkmarks, The Phrase That Pays (my fave), About A Girl, Summer Hair = Forever Young.
People who haven't heard of the band before should definately start! Caz they are THE SHIZZZZZ!!!

PANIC AT THE DISCO:
- Most fun to sing along to, screamed heaps and heaps for them, awesome stage props, great vocals and music, great bunch of guys, loadssss of talent. No surprise of course.

- Ryan Ross (guitar + vocals) has such a sweet voice, and everytime he speaks or sings a solo, I melt a little inside. And he's mighty cute too. I think we can call him frontman no. 2 now!

-Brandon Urie (frontman, vocals, guitar) makes me cry. In the older videos on youtube, he doesn't sound that nice, but they more he sings, the better he seems to get. Time To Dance, is actually a fast paced song, but when he did a solo acoustic for it, it was probably the best version of the song i've ever heard.
But Lying is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off, and I Write Sins Not Tragedies was definately the most crowd pleasing. Although they didn't play their other songs which i liked.

- To me they played for a very short while (1 hour 15 mins plus). Even the MCR concert was slightly longer (2 hrs), and people said that was short! I wish they played more songs!
There had a big screen behind them showing gorgeous artistic backgrounds, and pictures of anatomy of the cow, dog and horse, just caz they love Vet students so much hahaha! The stage was well decorated:) I am pleased!

- After the show, we saw a group of girls screaming and crowding aroung railings, so we went to kepo abit. After a long wait, Panic finally emerged, and we waved and screamed. All of them waved, but Brandon waved in our direction, and kissed the window from inside the car. AWWWWWWWWWWWW WE LOVE YOU TOO!

AHHHH bed time!! Thanks to the girls for awesome concert company! I hope the bands had fun too:)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

this is all i'm gonna say: SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! a LITTLE fRANK iERO!!

Karoonda!

2008-07-05T21:28:00.000-07:00

Hurray! It's the holidays, and everyone is enjoying themselves, working or relaxing, and the vet students have to do 4-page essays HURRAY! Me and Gezzel have to do two of those so even better right! WHINE WHINE WHINE... Anyways not to say that i didn't have fun at the farm caz i did!

Gez on the train (she shall be the model for this entry)

So, after 3 1/2 hours on the Vline train from Southern Cross, we finally reached the quaint little town of Bairnsdale, and we had 3 hours to wonder around before the bus took us to Karoonda park. So I went to Subway to grab a sandwich, and we ate a MacD's for lunch. After which, we ventured to the church to have a look see at the pretty painted walls. We then walked around and Gez stopped by at the bookshop to buy a book, and we went to the pharmacy to buy facial sunblock+moisturiser (which was a good choice, caz my the water and weather is a drying).

3 hours later, we boarded the community bus and headed for Karoonda Park at Gelantipy, which is located on the snowy mountains (which does not have snow FYI). On the way there, we stopped at a popular tourist destination, Lakes Enterance to have a little stretch, and it was quite pretty!

Lakes Enterance, Isn't it pretty!

Then we had a few other random stops at Nowa Nowa, and the little township of Buchan, which was the little 'city' of the area. By city i mean 2 cafes and 1 post office, and little houses.

Buchan

And finally after a drive up long and winding roads, we arrived at Karoonda park, which was also a school camp destination, hence the 100 odd high school kids. When we arrived they were busy preparing dinner for the school kids, and we stood clueless in the kitchen, quite hungry and tired. And it was pretty odd not having phone reception at all, but thankfully they still have landline, and wireless, which gez's miracle ipod detected and we were able to use wireless.
The first night was horrendous, not to be a princess or anything, but even with 2 blankets we could not sleep, caz it was freezing cold, and the room had no heater. Thankfully 2 nights later we shifted to a warmer room.

Karoonda Park is quite extensive, and this what what we see mostly:

Rolling plains of drought-affected pasture and hilly lands.

They had hereford cattle (beef cows)
And they are pretty cute you have to admit hahaha.

Every morning and evening, we have to heave 20kg+ buckets of pelleted feed and pour it into their troughs, and every two days we get to unroll huge-ass hay bails, and build muscles at the same time. The two farmers teaching us were Paul and Ron, who were really old guys with 3times our strength, and are really really nice and funny. Nope there were no hunky cowboys if anyone is wondering. There were 3 dogs Telly and Ted are ultra smart cattle dogs, and Morgan is the owner's pet corgi, who is so spoilt and so cute, and tried to bite my hand twice caz i was trying to move his fat arse along.

My favourite animal there is Billy, a hand-raised heifer who is like a 200kg puppy dog that jumped on me to try and unintentionally crush me to death.

Isn't Billy sweet!

She was placed in the 'hospital pen' with the other two calves, and when she was moved to the main pen it was so so sad, caz the other heifers didn't like her, and she always wanted to escape. When it comes to feeding time she also got pushed away. Poor baby! Anyone wanna provide me with the space to adopt her!!

There two are the other 2 calves in the hospital pen, the one who is standing is Crazy, and she is mentally challenged, and the fluffiest cutest calf you will see.
The one lying down is Olay (yup we named them) who has a spinal problem and can't stand, so we had to heave her up everyday to allow circulation in her legs.
Look at how much wet poop is on the floor! Our jeans and boots were always muddy, shitty and dirty (in a good way somehow haha). And we rode around on the back of a truck, in the toyota that fitted 3 people but we had 4 so gezzel had to sit on mine and ron's lap, in a tractor which gez had a chance to drive, and on foot. Cool right!

We also got to vaccinate sheep and calves, and watch Paul gut and kill sheep, and shoot pigs which have horrible smelling blood and skin and gut them. And yes they are allowed to use hunting rifles. Paul also shot a wombat that had a mange, and blood was bubbling out of its nose, when we got close to see it

We also got to ride horses twice, which was fun, and in our spare time, we walked around, petting pretty horses, and feeding them grasses that we plucked along the fence, and also watching DVDs. And we had to walk alongside some kiddies riding horses, on tracks meant for horses not humans, so we had to jump logs and climb steep paths (I felt like throwing the kid off the horse at points, i'm sorry to say).

Gezzel chatting up some horses

This was a new patient in the hospotal pen. He's a bull, and not the biggest in the property, but look at how huge his head is! He's almost as tall as me, and roughly 500kg.

The food there was so nice, and there was so much to eat and snack on. We also have morning and afternoon tea, which included the yummiest muffins, chocolate slices, and, apple pies, and other fatty stuff that we pigged out on.

I'll definately miss that place. Hope the next one's a blast!

2008-05-16T06:00:00.000-07:00

Those that know me know that i'm obsessed with one of the world's most famous plays, Romeo+Juliet, so here are really awesome quotes for you to marinate into your head.

Romeo:
O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?

--------------------------------------------------------
(the movie version:)
MERCUTIO

Why, may one ask?

ROMEO

I dream'd a dream to-night.

MERCUTIO

And so did I.

ROMEO

Well, what was yours?

MERCUTIO

That dreamers often lie.

ROMEO

In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.

MERCUTIO

O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
On the fore-finger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut
Her wagoner a small grey-coated gnat,
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of...
love;

Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage:
This is she--
This is she--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ROMEO

[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

ROMEO

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

JULIET

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

JULIET

Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

ROMEO

Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.

JULIET You kiss by the book.

That's all folks!

1. If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be?
I'd probably slap him until someone removes me

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
Hmmm... many, can't really pick one. Dreams are dreams, i don't believe they could ever really come true. Wait are you talking about sleep-dreams or aspiration-dreams...

3. Are you confused on what lies ahead of you?
Always am. You can't predict the future, so how could you see what's coming right?

4. What is your ideal lover like?

being loved by someone else

To be contented

10. Is being tagged fun?

11. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
Bitch slap them, throttle them, strip them naked in public... I don't know, something very mean. But then again best friends shouldn't do that.. NEVER

I shall quote Ching here: Myself. Hah I'm so self-centred. Well, if you think you are, then you could be.

I hope i'm a good person.

I know, what's the point of changing my blogskin if i dont even update my blog right.
Oh well i just decided that i couldn't stand the old skin anymore.
The only thing bad about this skin is that the navigations aren't clear. When you (who?) first enter the page, there are some navigation instructions so go figure.
Arghh no motivation to blog.
What's the point

OOO AAAA OHHHH EEEE

2008-03-07T00:20:00.000-08:00

Ok, so i did the personality test, and I am disappointed because it was too short... wish there were more questions hahaha.

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Surprise surprise! I'm blogging.
Living in Polaris appartments now, not a bad place, convenient, nice sized, quiet, best of all... it has a cat!
Well not my cat but my neighbour's (whom i've never seen only heard of). I call the fat, cuddly, illusive feline Frankie. It's a her by the way and no prizes for guessing who I named her after.

Other than that, nothing much interesting. So, let me rant about uni. It's my blog, so i have the right to complain and whine all i like and if you don't like it don't read on.

26 hours of uni in the first week.
endless piles of notes to read through, and it's only the 2nd day.
having to check the dictionary for every other anatomical term.
slight kernick withdrawal.
Lack of happy pills.
Lack of sleep.
Extreme lack of time (so wth am i doing here right)

I started playing online games on Viwawa, and for some reason it does not filter or block offensive content like vulgarities. Well they should, because of people like me. Haha poor Viwawa players, sooner or later i'll be banned if i don't start being more patient, and stop calling people retarded and ****ers. What's wrong with me. Probably the lack of sleep man!

Back to work!

Part Duo...

2008-02-25T04:26:00.000-08:00

I was in Singapore airport on my way to Penang and guess what I saw! I never knew how popular and famous she was!

Maybe i should publicise my book in the same way. Haha

My Book!

2008-02-21T06:56:00.000-08:00

So I've been thinking about it lots, and i've decided to write a series of children books! I talked to my publisher today, and we've come up with several great titles, and talked about the book covers, and i shall officially release them here and now!!

Books in order of release date: Rui Xi & Yi Lin @ the Zoo, Yi Ching & Yi Lin goes Japanese!, Gezzel & Yi Lin learns Rock Physiology, Jacq & Yi Lin in Paris, Avril & Yi Lin gets a Dog, Xiu Ling & Yi Lin in Rome, Charis & Yi Lin goes to The Ball.

So I met up with Rui Xi today to shoot for the cover for the first book. Thanks so much Rui Xi for being so sporting, and thanks to the zoo for letting us mingle with the animalistic crowd. Now when people ask me what i did during the holidays, at least i have some thing to talk about!

Well so here's a sneak peak of the cover.....

........

RUI XI DONT BE MAD HAHAHA

About Hugs and Planes

2008-02-15T20:08:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago, i stumbled upon the famed Free Hugs website after watching several videos of it on youtube, which i highly recommend everyone go and watch. There was this person who suggested doing it on Single's Awareness Day (S.A.D), and i really wanted to participate, so i was ready to organise the whole thing. But after reading most of the forums, I realise that a permit was required due to public liability. So I didn't follow up on it.
A few days ago on S.A.D, I saw several people at Raffles City holding up the sign. They were really young, around 13? Me and mei were going to give them a hug after our coffee, because they were standing there for a while, and no one had hugged them. But soon enough, they started running caz the security guard was onto them. I sort of knew it was coming, but what a pity though.

Anyways, why would I pay to watch the Singapore air show when i can see it from my window! Not that i can see the formations yet, caz they are probably still practising and the ITE building is blocking my view. But every morning i can hear and see the pretty red and white, and teal coloured planes tearing audibly through that sky.

Back next sunday. BOO!

Soulja Boy

Anyone who has seen the original Soulja Boy song, will agree that this remix rocks. I love travis barker! He's the Blink-182 drummer if anyone didnt know that.

This dude's pretty awesome!

New Moon

2008-01-04T06:05:00.000-08:00

My head is rather woozy, and i am not sure if it is due to my medication, or due to the fact that I have been reading non-stop for the past 7 hours??

Gezzel's my book guru!

When I went to the book rental shop, i searched the shelves for a book about vampires. That was infact all I knew about it, and I had no clue what the title was or who the author was. After mentioning the words ‘vampire’ and ‘series’ to the lady, she nonchalantly pointed me to the very first book shelf. I searched the shelf up and down like a dumbass before she finally pointed to the most inconspicuous spot. I mean who would put a book right on top of a shelf, it’s not like anyone will look there!

Then I asked her several times if New Moon was the first book in the trilogy, and she insisted that it was. But when it was only when I brought the book home did I realize that it was the second book I borrowed. I’ll never trust her again. But I read the book anyways, and it was absolutely not a disappointment.

The movie will only come out in Dec 2008, which means it’ll hit theatres in Singapore much much later… But I am sure Gezzel and I will go crazy about it haha. I don’t really like who they picked for most of the characters, but if the writer insists on them, I shall not criticize any further until after the movie.

Read the book everybody!! (author: Stephenie Meyer)

Eyeliner People

2007-12-28T21:43:00.000-08:00

Seriously don't you think Bill has very very girlish features?

http://dominiek.be/wp-content/tokio-hotel.jpg

http://www.bbc.co.uk/slink/images/377x212/tokio_hotel.jpg

They might be my IT band. Only after the first few seconds did i start to realise that the lead singer in the video was not a woman.

The two middle guys in the photo are twins, they are 'emo looking', they're German, they are Tokio Hotel. And they remind me of MCR and that's perhaps why i think i might start to like them. Am i a closet emo?? hahaha. Boll has french manicured fingernails in the video how cool!

Bill Kaulitz -vocals (b.1 September, 1989)
Tom Kaulitz -guitar (b.1 September, 1989) --- (My personal fave minus the dreadlocks)
Georg Listing - bass guitar (b. 31 march 1987)
Gustav Schäfer - drums (b. 8 Sept 1988)

I can't help being slightly jealous of the Kaulitz's girlish features.
