Back to uni, die die die

Hey yaaaaa...

Today I went back to uni. I already miss the holidays..shiats. Have been on holiday for more than a month. Haih.. gotta face all the pressure from studying again. This semester, MUST MUST MUST study consistently. Like what T. Latha used to say, gotta review what's been done on that day, everyday. And I'll have to (try and) study for maybe 2-3 hours a day (if cannot then at least 1 hr :P) No matter what!

I expected myself to dread going back to uni so so badly, but it turned out alright. Except for one part where I alway fell asleep in one of the lectures. hahaha, then I have one quite HOt lecturer. He's married already anyway..haha. He's so weird, he uses blogspot to post things up online. Usually, lecturers use the uni's system to do that.

Lyn, the disney book should still be at my house if I'm not mistaken. Saw it the last time I was back. Can definitely take it back, I feel embarassed erh, been holding on to it for so long. Maybe u'll need to get it thru one of my sisters. And yeaps, I think I got the recipe from Luwee's blog..haha. And hey, I might start slaughtering u too!!!! hahahah... I'm into boyband mood nowadays. U know who lar.. The name sounds lame, Fahrenheit..LOL. But I'm very very sure it'll faze out soon ... I'm seriously wondering when, especially when a new album is coming out soon.. hmm There's one point in time, where the obsession peaked and my heart literally "melted" when I see Wang Dong Chen in the music videos.. darnnn.. what a freak I am.

haha, I don't really like Korean dramas. :P But I'm starting to watch those Taiwanese-idol dramas with over-prettified boys (ahem, Jiro Wang). I'm almost done watching Hana Kimi and KO One. I want to watch 'It started with a kiss' if I have time. Watching all these because of that guy. And on top of that, all three of these series have part two's. Die. Must watch :-) I agree with the anime thing.

OMG, I'm super anti-anime. I hate it when they make up stupid storylines. I heard of one where the guy or dunno who have to be HORNY to have power to attack the other person.. not sure..but it's something like that. So dumb! They always make up ridiculous powers and ways to trigger their power. There's another one where they guy has to drink lots of water to gain power. LIKe what the hellll.. he has a bag full of bottled drinks and keep drinking it once in a while. lame lame lame. haha, i know these coz I was forced to be there when ppl watch them. OK lar.. I mean if there's really a need to make some power up.. then make it look/sound cool (not lame!). Then I'll be able to accept it.

Nowadays, I'm listening to these albums:-

S.H.E. - Play
Wang LeeHom - Change me
JJ Lin - West Side
Fahrenheit - dunno what name..that album lar
Hana kimi soundtracks - zhe me ban & wo chao xi huan ni
Tokyo Juliet soundtracks album
Rihanna - Good girl gone bad (some songs..not all)
Janice Vidal - Do u know & My love my fate
Z chen - love tree
Gary Chao ge - Superman
Tank - fighting & keep fighting

so very Taiwanese, I know. waiting for Jay chow's album.

random fusion

Typed this out some time last week, but never managed to post it up:

Wow. I have to admit I’m quite surprised to see so many blog entries from Jasmine since I last checked our-equation. Lol.

Some things in respond to Jas:

1. my sister wants her Disney music book back and im tired of telling her I didn’t take it (which is true, because YOU took it. Hahahaha joke joke =p
2. I think the MD teacher’s recipe blog site was LuWee’s teacher. You probably got directed there by clicking links in LuWee’s blog ehehe.
3. You should try the Durian Gelato from Ideal. So far, not one single person I know have ever tried it, and every time I go there, the Durian flavor is the one that had the most left. Hehehe. And the teh tarik flavour is very interesting. Like frozen tea. I suppose that’s what it’s supposed to taste like…?
4. the new food court at ex-justoys…haven’t been there yet but josh says he heard it’s not that good. But you can never know for sure unless you’ve been there yet! I’ll write up a full gourmet’s critic if I ever go there hahahah. But from the outside, it doesn’t look properly/fully renovated yet. Maybe they were rushing for the 07-07-07 opening, just because it was a cool date. But they shouldn’t place their customers in potential danger of lamps falling off the ceiling or such!
5. I used to like Daniel Wu too.. thought he was soooooooooooooooo cute k, esp when he acts, he’s always this cool, charming, sexy character and so so sweet, esp in those police movies with Miriam yeung (forgot the titles haha). But then the attraction fazed after a few months I guess. Must be because I didn’t watch his movies again. out of sight, out of mind… lol.
6. speaking of fanaticism, I don’t get why people go crazy over boybands. SO LAME OKAY. F4??? FAHRENHEIT??? TVXQ?? (prepares to get slaughtered by shenny) Hahahahahha ok ok ok, im just not the type to idolize celebrities and ogle at them in music videos okay. There has to be certain factors I like, such as voice, quality of songs or acting, style, talents etc. like david tao. DAVID TAO RULES!!! (at this point I would like to insist that people who think their idols look so hot in photos, THEY ARE ALL PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!!!!!!!)
7. just to add more points, I think some Taiwanese idol-dramas with no exact story line and act-cute girls and over-prettified guys are STUPID. Some Korean tear-jerkers with scenes that drag on and on without any evident dramatic values are GAY. some Japanese high-school boy-girl animes without an actual plot but just to show how cutesy oversexified drawn up girls are are DUMB (and should be called porn instead). oh before some smart alec decide to comment on the double “are”s, they are not errors mwahaha I am such an anti-everything =S
8. harry potter the movie (order of the phoenix) is quite alright. Compared to the fourth one, it’s much better. At least the great hall looked decent!! In the fourth movie it looked as glorious as a dungeon. Kinda puts me off, since it looked so pretty in the first movie. And in my imagination from reading the books it definitely looks much more glamourous! Anyway, the concluding word I would use is “disappointing”. It is inevitable! For all the movies in the series! People who don’t read the book would find it confusing (esp if they haven’t been following the series). People who read the book will find it not up to their expectations. And I fall into the latter group. It simply can’t be helped, I have way overcreative imaginations. Oh yeah, I think Daniel Ratcliffe has outgrown his potter character. He’s simply not suited anymore. WE NEED A CUTER ACTOR!

yup, joyman was back, and spent a few days in Brunei. Only managed to see him for one day though! And just like shenny had said, he still looks exactly the same as he had 3 years ago. I think it was funny how we had played poker at shenny’s house and went on to predict each of his, joshua’s, shenny’s and my own future luck with the opposite gender. Terrifically hilarious. Joyman could have a potential romance with a girl who refuses to wash dishes! Hahahahaa. And then we … umm.. was somehow averted from watching homemade videos to TVXQ videos. We were at shenny’s house, there simple was no other way to get out of it. HEHE I joke! Shenny, don’t get mad.

And here I must thank joyman very very much for helping me out with the “spectacles”. Very sorry for not being able to see him off at the airport as well…I was somewhere… doing something… which really could not be put off =( but I have good faith that I will see you again soon, joyman! Maybe I’ll visit Australia next year. See you and jasmine. And maybe teo if he’s already there. And simmie and nyan and OF COURSE, MY LOVELY COUSIN VERONICA. I miss her like @#UIEW&^#W@ERT!U&&%&*#(YUI&^&E(**@(W#&*@# okay I simply couldn’t express it properly. She’s a stupid lovable idiot who laughs at simply everything and it is very amusing and infectious. I wonder how come I don’t share those genes, even though our birthdays is only a day apart. I am terribly jealous.

ANYWAY, today, 22^nd July, a day after the release of the seventh and last episode of harry potter, I can tell you “WOW!” again.

teo had bought me the book as a birthday present for my up and coming birthday. It’s wonderful! no wrapping needed as well lol.

I had gotten it on 21^st, the day of it release, at around 7.10am, right outside the site of purchase, Booker Int gadong. Wahaha. Spent the rest of the day peeking into the book in between lessons and during lunch time. Friends tried to irritate me by flipping to unread (yet) pages and reading out random full sentences which had me going “STOPIT LALALA I CANT HEAR YOUUUUUU….”

But why had I only managed to finish the book the next day was because after I had gotten home from school, I had gone to bed for the next 17 hours. Exhaustion from lack of sleep in the previous days had much regrettably caught me amidst all the excitement. Nevertheless! Reading the book was so much joy. I am convinced that it is the best of all the sevens books; action packed in each and every page, there was never a dull moment unlike *cough* some previous episodes.

All the oohs and aahs came along with the lines, as all the mysteries from previous episodes unraveled with the streams of sentences. Finally everything was falling into place! Bringing along shock and surprises (especially the one about snape hahaha). Anyway, for those who hadn’t read the book yet, won’t spoil it for you. Maybe I’ll write a comment about it in the cookie box.

So YEAHS..

oHmygodieGod.Lol, dont mind me.. I havent been blogging since.. i forgot when already so this is why.. plus it's been a couple of months since I had English class so I'm giving a warning here first, that my English will be very very crappy. Hehe, so..what did I do for the past few weeks...

As far as I could remember....hmm, I remembered nothing. Lol, I have very bad memory la, I wonder why the horoscope said Aries has good memory. Good memory of not nice things I guess, oh wells.. xP

So, these days I'v been playing badminton a lot and basketball lesser. I miss playing basketball, but I'm very addicted to badminton now. Hehe, and I joined the school tourney; women's double and my team partner is Joanne. We won the first match on last tuesday, and our next match will be on this saturday. I'm quite scared rightnow, because I heard our opponents are scheme players;which means they are professional players, well, they most definetely will play better than us. Hmm...

Oh, Joyman was back on the 11th if I'm not mistaken and we went out with him. It was great to see him again after 3 years. He has not really changed on his outlook though, still looked like the same old Joyman I remembered, but of course, he has grown taller & also has muscular body now, lol.. gym, he said. Haha. He just got back from Miri today and is leaving to Perth again tomorrow, sighs. We only met up like twice only le, tomorrow will only be the third & it's the last time ledy..sniffs` when will we meet again ahhh?? I'll miss u, Joyman. I believe the others will too, esp Jasmine..who still havent got to see u yet.. Hehehe.

So, I have watched Fantastic four, Transformers and Harry Potter. I find them all very nice, esp Fantastic four.. wish I had their superpowers. Transformers are really good too, wish I have all the models.. lol. Harry Potter, nice but it's quite.. 'draggy', but overall nice. Hehe. Looking fwd to watch more good movies.. =)

Hmm, it's getting late already and my mind is also slowly shutting down ledy so I guess this blog will be up till here, till next time. I'll blog again very soon, I hope. Hehe.. Jasmine, keep blogging oh.
Amilyn, blog something too!

-signing off-

For Now..

I think that Fahrenheit is way way way better than F4. In terms of looks, fashion sense, hairstyles, poses, songs, etc etc. And I feel that they're more "man-ly" than F4 ehh. I compared by watching past videos of F4.

I say for now, cause I'll never know, I might change my mind about Fahrenheit in future.

Showbiz

Ok, this post is a bit nonsense one. Like alot of random thoughts..can skip skip if u want. Just wanna write all the stuff I'm thinking..haha, they keep circling around my head.

It's about entertainment..esp Taiwan one.

I suddenly got this crazy mood after watching aTaiwanese drama series I thought I'll never ever watch, Hana Kimi :P Guess who I like in the movie? haha, of course not Wu zun la. Jiro Wang..HAHA.. I cannot stand myself. Like so weirrrrrd. It's like when Fahrenheit just came out, I'm like bleh.. i don't really care. Don't even take the effort to recognise who is who.. only know that Brunei guy. Then their songs, only hear a few times, then skip always.

Then arhh.. something happened. After watching the series.. I like that gila guy lar, Jin Xiu Yi, in the series. He is so crazy.. and so funny, his expressions made me crack up numerous times. And I didn't even know he belongs to the band. And I didn't know he's the "bad-boy style" guy that I saw when I quickly glanced thru the pics of the band here and there, every now and then, when my sisters showed me. It's weird that he has a bad-boy style when in fact, he's a humourous guy. But it's good also.. sort of have two styles then.

Anyway.. eeeeee.. I'm having this weird feeling. Like I have a fan-crazy heart. U know, which reminds me of that time.. remember, during Form 5, when I got all crazy over Daniel Wu (not as much now) that he's on my mind 24/7. And I'm not kidding. It's like he's just there in my head, cannot go away one. Stuck there all the time. Like, when Shen and Glo were with me at tuition, I told them I couldn't get him off my head. Think think think, all the videos, pics replaying over and over again in my head. Feels like that lar now.. with Jiro Wang, but less than that time with Daniel wu.

Shit, I feel insane. It just takes one movie, in a few hours for me to go mad over a celebrity. It's like as if I fell in love with the character they play, sometimes, in some cases. Then I'll go into a frantic search for their videos, pics, biodata. That happened for Step Up's Channing Tatum and a bit with Fantastic Four's Chris Evans.

Anyway, there's another thing. U know Ella is in Hana Kimi right, I think her acting is so funny too. Like she's a bit dumb2, always expose her identity without herself knowing it. Anyway, now that I've seen her on-screen like 10X more than the other two S.H.E. girls, I have such a different perception of her already. I used to think she's tomboy and all, not girlish at all. Now it's all changed. She does have a feminine side lar.. just less than average girls. And now, when I watch any of the S.H.E. videos, I look at her more than I look at Hebe, which is what I usually do. It's like I've known her better than the other two already (not really know her la.. like see her personality).

Ok, so erm, I was thinking of all these last night, then I realise that soon, I will feel that my hype over these things will soon fade away. It usually does. And I would feel so silly. That happened with F4. I mean I don't deny that I used to like them.. and I remember I couldn't quite decide who I liked most cause got different perceptions of each of them in movies and in their singing. But anyway.. after a few years, when they disbanded, of course I felt like it was so silly to like them.. and then EVERYONE started calling them gay, even those ppl who used to like them. Well, I did too. But anyway, the point is I know one day, when they hype is over, I'll feel very very very silly and dumb to be so into a band/singer.

Suddenly, in 6 hours, I have already watched all of Fahrenheit's music videos and got to know and liked their songs, eventhough their vocals, like F4, suck. Watched all the little short videos and entertainment news about them on Youtube. And then, I'm planning to watch KO One, another drama series where Jiro is the lead :P aiyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. I'm craazzzzzzeeeeeeeeee!

I think I can't accept the fact that I kinda like Fahrenheit lar..apa lar man.

Reason why I like that guy is because:

1) Already said this, he makes funny expressions
2) He got this Japanese look, eventhough he's not. I dunno why this is a reason, not like I like Japs.
3) He looks damn cool in pictures. He purposely pose cool one.. can see. Sometimes overdo, but it's alright~
4) He is a funny guy in reality, so that's extra points..wooOOt
5) He seems to be a lot more stylish than the others (heard that he was in fashion designing before)
6) I like his funky hair. His hair suits him a lot.. as in, in Hana Kimi not in KO One. He looks nicer with blond hair and like all coming out

Now, I talk about songs. If a song is a movie theme, would u think of the movie when u hear the song? For me, I will. Reminds me so much of the movie, I actually feel sad that the movie has ended. Scenes will then float past me.

I like it when some songs seem so heart-warming and so touching. I feel very "gan dong" when I hear them. Even when I listen to them how many times, still have that feel. Like Tank's "fei ni mo shu", "gei wo ni de ai" and "zhuan su tien she"

I also kinda like the senior guy in Hana Kimi, Liang Si Nan, real name: Danson Tang.

I'm turning into my mom. But she's more into other Taiwanese guys that I'm not interested in, but same hype lar..haha

ALOT OF NONSENSE AH..

Harry Potter mania

HAHA, wooo.. I just got home from watching Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix!! And I really love this one a lot better than all the others. So much more magic!

Last time, I always wonder which Harry Potter movie is my favorite. Initially, I liked the first one and didn't really like the second one. Then only after I rewatched the 3rd one, then only I liked that as well. Fourth, don't really like. Then NOW, I love the fifth one, I think it's the BEST! Haha, I bet a lot of people wouldn't really agree with me :P

I was expecting a lot of scenes with Cho Chang..but neh.. not much. Just a few times here and there.

Anyway.. I read these from the Yahoo homepage..and found the text very funny, like it made me smile and laugh at the way they're writing it(Potterly of months) and what they're saying (esp the whole craze abt Harry Potter and stuff abt the boys/girls).

"In this most Potterly of Months, true fans have been reading up on their books, digging for spoilers, playing the games, brushing up on their lexicon, and dressing the part.

Admittedly, "The Transformers" have wrested control of the summer movie Buzz thus far, with more than double the searches of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." We attribute that to mostly boys with their toys—the females remain faithful in monitoring Harry's cinematic return."

Well, that's quite true. haha, with the book and movie out in the same month.. what a very Potterly month! But I don't read the books (shame on me!! can throw stones at me now...haha). I just watch the movies. And I realise that I always attempt to read each book, but somehow stopped at maybe 1/8 or 1/10 of the book from the beginning. Sigh. I'm very lazy, I know.

Daniel Radcliffe seems to look very very old lar. Like so not cute boy look anymore. Esp in this movie. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint look the same. Anyway.. I'll stop here or else I'll be analysing each character one by one.

Blogging before bed

Weather these two days got better. Instead of sleeping till late afternoons and doing unproductive things till I go to bed at night, I purposely woke up early yesterday to go to the market to buy groceries. haha.. what a housewife-y thing to do. No choice :S

Then today.. woke up at 9 am.. so very differnt from normal time. I usually wake up at 3-4 pm aye.. very big change. Then surf net for like 3 hours. hahaha, very unproductive. So I went to settle some stuff... instead of taking tram.. I walked all the way to Singapore Airlines to book a flight seat home (for the end of the year come back lar). If I don't do that early, I'll definitely not be able to get a seat by october/november.

I am very very keen to go to Singapore during year-end/beginning of next year. It's like I never really explored Singapore at all. Everytime I go there, it's always for transits and we always only go to Orchard Road. Wanna go to other shopping centres other than those along that road and also wanna go to special places to eat ( u know like places where they say must try this at blablabla and try that at blablabla). Bad thing is I don't have any relatives in Singapore, so have to stay in the hotel and u know.. all those expensive travel fees which increase with the no. of days u spend there. I'll see how.. haha still young.. lots more time in future to explore Singapore.

Blog arh u all two... I barely know what's going on in Brunei. Heard that Justoys is gonna become a food court is it? haha then we'll have more food choices. yays (if that info is true). Wanna try Dream Cones' gelato. I used to eat gelato like crazy last year. Always crave for it, then go buy. Especially mango and green tea flavour. But now.. don't have that mood anymore. Only ate like twice since I got back this year. Wanna try the teh tarik flavour in Brunei.

I miss piano lessons lar. Like soooooo nice to be guided to play a piece. I don't have to struggle to figure out how the piece sounds like and can get corrected wherever I went wrong. But anyway.. didn't touch any piano this year.. last year once in a while still got. This year is like no time at all anyway. And I expected that. Didn't bring back any music sheet even. Left them all at home in Brunei.

Cooked butter milk chicken (wet style) just now for the first time. Not bad I shall say.. but too thick the sauce. so too creamy. But smells and tastes quite real. So i'm quite satisfied. And guess where I got the recipe from? One of ur MD teachers who cooks and posts her recipes on her blog. haha if u ask me now, I don't remmeber who's that already and dunno whose blog's links I clicked from.

I love Johnny Depp.. have a poster of him on my room's wall. haha

Do you know I'm still very into Daniel Wu? hehe. Still reading his blog religiously. And watching his movies every time it comes out. And trying to dig out all his old movies from anywhere possible so that I complete watching all the movies that he's ever acted in. Even though if it's for a few seconds.. haha I watch those parts as well. There was once, because of him, I wish I lived in Hong Kong.

Anyway..there's always this thing in me, like I wish I grew up in HongKong, for no reason at all. I wish I'm living there in HK even nowadays, I mean like I thought of it every now and then. These feelings heighten when I start a TVB drama series marathon ( I don't have constant Astro to watch them, have to download and watch). Like I wish I'm walking those streets and eating their food and speaking their language. Maybe, I'll even meet a few stars :P hahah I'm weird. Eventhough I listen to more songs from Taiwan than from HK, I have no wishes to live in Taiwan. Well, maybe a holiday there would be nice. But not to live there.

Thinking of the working environment gives me a different feel. I've got no plans to migrate there. I wouldn't want to work in HK after I graduate. That's the problem, like eventhough I like HK, I just don't wanna live my adult life there (adults' life=working). Cause I feel it would be difficult there. And may have to work extra harder..somehow. That's why I wish I grew up there. Australia, I feel, gives a better working environment.

Feeling very cold these days...

Instead of dry winter, we get wet winter. It's been raining so much, almost everyday..which is very annoying. It rained maybe like 10 times more than it did last year. I remember that last year, it rained less than 5 times. Brrr... it's cold, an average of 7-8 degrees nowadays. But not THAT cold to have snow.

Gonna enjoy holidays till 22nd June. And it's really bad on my job seeking. I submitted 20 resumes to different shops and none of these employers has called me. This is what you get when u have no work experience. Sucks big time. Gonna give out maybe 10 more resumes to other places soon.

These two martini glasses are supposed to imitate cymbals

and these knifes = piano

I love shoes like these ones down here. They're espadrilles. Can't seem to find something that look like these around Melbourne. Tell me if u see something like this anywhere else.

Saw some obscene cactus plants in their pots at the market some weeks ago.

haha, this is obscene right? Imagine putting this in a house with kids. So weird.

Then this is even worst.

I want flat abs. Which means have to do sit-ups or something equivalent everyday..hehe been doing that. Hope I keep up and don't slack or else I'll still have my flabby tummy with me forever. And my flabby arms- doing dumbbell lifts. But not the "guy" way...which is stressing on the biceps. My way of using the dumbbell is like straining the triceps & not the biceps. Don't wanna have bicep muscles like Mr. World contestants.

Been going for Hip-hop dance classes which are quite fun. Like u learn a whole set of new moves every class. So it doesn't matter if u miss any one of the classes. Can just go when u feel like it without worrying abt missing any steps taught in missed classes.

Any good movies to introduce to me? Even if they're ages ago. Like classic must-watch good movies. Cause I wanna download them. hehe.

I keep getting bruises ( "o cheh") nowadays. Walk here, bang, hit my leg, then bruise, then walk there, bang, another bruise on my leg. Ouchies, pain!

Bought these cables where you can connect your laptop to the TV. Very fun! Can watch stuff from the computer on the TV directly. So bigger screen, better to watch. Can't buy any pirated DVDs here anyway :-(

Need to explore Melbourne more. I wanna go for this exhibition where they showcase PIXAR Studio's creations. And maybe drawings or something. Like how they create the characters in Finding Nemo, The Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, etc etc. Passed by the place the other day and saw this huge statue of the 'lamp' outside the building, a lot larger than me definitely. That famous lamp that always appears before any of their movies. Always jumping around. hehe

Ok, off I go to watch some TV shows.
