Happy Birthday 2011 to Me

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Happy Birthday 2011 to Me

Guess what… Spending my 29th birthday in the uni’s computer pool doing revision. How cool is that? Gonna be very busy this coming week to prepare for exam, might not be updating this blog for quite awhile. It’s a good thing I have uni coursemates here with me here even though they are all busy with their work. I thought I will be alone here. My initial plan was to print voucher for my free birthday lunch from Subway then head home after getting lunch instead I decided to go back to the computer pool to study. Later in the day, surprisingly many uni mates came to complete their assignments and do revision. Even though there’s no celebration, at least they wish me happy birthday. Something different compared to previous year.

Went to the Royal Adelaide Show yesterday and it was great! Bought a CLEO showbag cost AUD18 with the content worth AUD150+. It’s pretty worth it. Will share everything with you when free. Was there for about 10 hours, my feet were so painful, standing and walking most of the time. Did not feel like going home after that, all I wanted was to stay out with friends. I hate to stay home now, I feel very pathetic and lonely so computer pool is my second home now. Spent at least 6 hours here almost everyday.

Today I found out that apparently I am no longer consider a friend to somebody. We’re now more of a stranger or someone that this person will prefer to avoid. It hurts because I’m really sincere to want be a friend to this person even after what had happened a month ago but it’s all just plain bull shit! Not even a birthday wish or even bother to respond to me. Anyway, life still goes on. This person had made me realized how narrow my social circle is and now I become so damn social! Know almost every frequent users of the computer pool. I wasn’t this social even back home. In a way, it’s good because I got to know so many new friends from Russia, China, Taiwan, India, Pakistan, and Malaysia.

Oh well… Time to go back to study again and WTF! Why switch on the aircon! It’s so damn cold today!

Talk to you all later with interesting posts. Cheers!

When 3 Girls Meet

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on When 3 Girls Meet

Back home, I have more male friends than female friends. Here in Adelaide, I have soooooo many female friends but male friends can only be counted with less than 5 fingers! That’s all! How pathetic? Some more, it’s so hard to find people within my age bracket be it male or female. They’re mostly way younger than I am. So far, only one I know who is of the same age as me sigh… However, I do not look my age so those younger ones thought that I’m as young as them ;p It’s pretty hard to find a partner here too hahaha… Anybody to intro? *DESPERATE* ;p

Happened that I met 2 coursemates since the start of my studies. They’re both from Malaysia, one about 1 year younger than me and another one my sister’s age (5 years younger). We’ve been planning about hanging out even before exam but never got the time to do it until last Friday. 3 of us went for dinner at Chinatown at 5.30pm then headed back to the apartment with a bottle of Jim Beam(700ml), a bottle of Pepsi(2L), 2 cans of Coke(375ml each), and 3 packets of chips *LOL* It’s a good thing my friend’s housemate had moved out so we had the whole apartment for ourselves to talk with all the privacy we need. It’s not easy to have such privacy here you know…


There you go… I don’t normally drink, even if I did it’s just few sips but last Friday, we finished the whole bottle of alcohol and Pepsi, and a can of coke. We had them with bowls! No cups for it that’s why ;p Started at 7pm. My very first time, surprisingly I wasn’t drunk at all, very much alert the whole night, none of us got drunk, the whole night was just sitting down, talking, drinking, eating, and many toilet trips ;p. I’m quite amaze with myself! Apparently my alcohol tolerant level isn’t that low. I guess it’s not bad for a beginner hahaha… This is my first time drinking so much alcohol and softdrink! Very bad for health. Gosh… I still can’t believe it until today! Good thing, no allergy, no turning red, no headache too. Usually I’ll get itchiness even with few sips.

Guess I’m not allergic to bourbon as few weeks back I had some American Honey too and it got no effect on me while my other friend turned red hahaha… It was very little too. Even so, I won’t make drinking my habit. I don’t like the taste of alcohol, just not my kind of thing to hang out with alcohol, I still prefer to hang out with tea or chocolate in a nice quiet cafe. Clubbing is not my thing. Loud music stresses me out.

We only ended the session at 5.30am (Saturday morning)! Was supposed to end it before 12am and keep the leftover alcohol for next time but hahaha… We finished everything. Unbelievable! We talked non-stop too! Oh well… What to do? We are suffering from the same “sickness” and found out we are pretty much in common. WOW! ;p No wonder we clicked. It was girl talk for 12 hours straight!

Got home and slept at about 6am after shower. Woke up around 11.30am. I guess I’m not that young anymore, in the afternoon I was so damn sleepy but I forced myself to stay awake to do some research for my assignments, dozing on and off. At the end, I gave in, I slept at around 11pm that night. Then again, still not enough, woke up early the next day to church, got back and I was so sleepy, even dozed off in front of my computer doing my research -.-”

There you go… The story of the meeting of 3 “thirsty” girls… *LOL*

Very First All-girls Gathering

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Very First All-girls Gathering

The past 2 1/2 years, almost every single weekend, I’m surrounded by these girls. Miss those crazy days in classes with them. We had junk food while listening to lectures by passing the food around while the lecturers were busy lecturing ;p Non-stop eating every weekend. Sometimes we even had buah kedondong(Great Hog Plum) and sambal belacan, even kuaci in class! Imagine passing them from the front to the back, from the back to the front during lectures. Whenever there’s celebrations(CNY, Raya, Gawai etc.), there’s non-stop food supply.


Usually my gathering sessions were with male and female friends; attended classes with male and female course mates; all in the same age range.

With the girls, it’s a different experience from what I used to have. We ranged from early 20’s to late 40’s(single and married), coming from different professions and ethnicity but with the same love for children education. We even had a course mate in her 60’s but she’s from the earlier batch.

Last Sunday, only those in age range of early 20’s to 30’s turned up. Doesn’t matter the age difference, when we’re all together, there’s no such thing as age difference. We’re all in the same wavelength.

Last year, majority had graduated. Had been talking about gathering but it was never organized. Finally last Sunday we had our very first gathering at Delizze even though many couldn’t make it. As usual, we had so many types of food excluding food with colby jack cheese and mexican cheese. However, there’s food with grated parmesan cheese. I don’t quite remember what we had, I didn’t take photos of them, too many till lost track.


At the end of the gathering, they gave me a beanie and a scarf. Thanks girls! Surely will keep me warm. The beanie is so CUTE!

Till we meet again.

Guests from KL

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Guests from KL

This is supposed to be posted long long time ago. It happened almost a month ago when Firefly had its inaugural flight to Kuching. Was waiting for the photo to be uploaded by Spinzer, finally got it quite awhile ago and only now I have the mood to post it. Actually I’m just too lazy to edit many many photos ;p

We(bloggers from Kuching) “smuggled” the bloggers from KL(I think most of them are bloggers) out from the cocktail reception at Merdeka Palace for some street food in Kuching after learning about their “ordeal” ;p

There you go… Our group photo.

I’ve been pretty occupied these days. Almost too lazy to update this blog. OH NO! This must not happen!! My mind is just too busy to relax and blog. Been spending hours and hours to do research.

Some more, I’m still sick. Stuffy nose, headache, blocked ears…

Seriously… What on earth is wrong with you people?!? All come to look for me at the same time when I’m too busy for those things. Now, less than a month to go, how to complete the things?

Headache… Stress…

Christmas Eve 2010

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on Christmas Eve 2010

It’s Christmas eve. Where are you? What are you doing? I’m gonna try to sleep early tonight ;p Tomorrow morning will go to church. Trying to complete my assignment now hehehe…

Didn’t go to many places these few months, most of the time I stayed home. Only some photos to share.

Christmas decor at tHe Spring.


tHe Spring is packed now because of the concert. Went there this afternoon to window shop and was shocked to find that carpark was pretty full, lots of shoppers too. It’s not even 4.30pm! Lucky me. Got one spot immediately after got into the basement parking.


This is the Christmas decor at Boulevard. The decorations were mostly from recyclable materials especially plastic bottles! This is how it looks like under the plastic bottle Christmas tree (or is it a bell?) Hehehe…

First thing in the morning I got a good news!

Left: The HTC HD7 is now mine! YAY!

Middle:
Went to get my IC replaced yesterday, then collected it today. Yesterday was hilarious! It took the officer almost 10 shoots or more(didn’t count) to get my photo right ;p I was at the counter for so long. First few, she couldn’t get the lighting right, too dark or the camera couldn’t focus. Then, she tested some shoots. After that, she thought it should be OK already and asked me to have a look to see if I’m satisfied with it, I noticed that I didn’t look at the camera instead at the mirror hahaha… I asked her, where am I supposed to look. I was looking at the mirror all those time! Funny. *blek* So we retook. Few more, not good too.

Next, I was messing with my hair while waiting for her to do some adjustments, she suddenly asked me to to frame my face with my hair, it will look better. WAKAKA! I thought we must show our ears for IC. No need! Don’t even have to wear clothes with sleeves! OK… Now I know. Again, took the photo and finally she told me to wear the vest for better contrast, two shoots and she asked me to have a look again, I wasn’t quite satisfied with it but since I hogged the counter for so long, I just agreed on that, at least not so bad. Should have use my double eyelid tape then it will look nicer and wear something darker.

Cool! I didn’t know we can now choose our photo for IC ;p The end photo was with the hair framing the face and with black vest which is making me look as if I have very thick hair and made the whole photo triangular 0_0″

I went there at around 4.20pm to collect the IC(you can now get your IC done in one day provided you go there early but there will be tonnes of people! If after 3.30pm then might have to wait till the next day), I thought they are closing or already closed but they they only close at 5pm. Phew… I was so afraid I wasn’t in time.

Useful tips, if you want fast service, go there after 4pm, most likely you don’t have to wait for your turn because the place is practically empty by then.

Right: Finally payment made. What is it all about? You’ll know soon but not that soon. I’m grateful to have a supportive family, thank you very much. I hope things will go as planned and I have less than a year to make things happen the way I want it to be because it’s an expensive feat else I’ll be in serious shit!

Merry Christmas everyone! Play safe!
