Ballarat 4/9-5/9

Spent a weekend at Ballarat which is around 1 hour plus drive from Melbourne city. Thanks Laura for driving us there:) It was actually a trip for Amy's birthday, these two girls will be introduced later on hahaha:P

Road trip is always fun, those fake-like-photoshopped-pictures sceneries, made me think of New Zealand trip two years back, I miss my family!

Also we saw this cute baby swan (wat's the actual name?) hiding into the wings (looked like it went through from the butt hahh!)

Weather wasn't too good for those two days, it rained, rained more heavily, stopped and it came again. sigh... See what happened when we just reached our cabin, branches fell when the wind was blowing so fiercely, and the little buggy with an old uncle came and saw them off.




Stomach bloated so much after those two days but enjoyed the food a lot! My diet plan- total failure. The pic is not all the food we've eaten, more to come!


This is Laura from Singapore, the girl who makes me think of Sheeling cos her english is damn good too.
p.s don mind about our shitty look, imagine walking under the rain for half a day. ;S
This is another young girl called Amy Lui, from HK. Been in Tassie for highschool, very talkative and hyperactive. haha:) Happy belated birthday again!-ends- hahah:P I'm too smelly I gotta shower.

Blessed.

This photo doesn't relate much to the topic of the post but w/e. haha:P
I'm not so much of a camwhore now, due to... insufficient time to use per day gah!

Can anyone tell me how time flies in the past 6 months? This is already the sixth month in Melbourne and I guess I am so much better in directions nevertheless I still get lost sometimes. You should ask my tall and shy friend, Desmond for this, really grateful for my friends' patience in leading me to places I wana go. :)

I'd say life has been really meaningful and busy in the past few months but I'm glad that I've finally found the satisfaction I've been longing for since I finished highschool.
Assignment ones are all completed, but it's really scary that I haven't been doing much readings when I realized it's already Week 7. HMM... time to catch up?

Still too much in mind, I should start gym soonish, I have a very strong will to lose some weight recently when the reality tells me that 'chubby' (in a better word) girls sometimes are being neglected more than hot babes. (It applies to... when it comes to guys). I'll try to gain more confidence by losing some weight, but yeah... noone will be putting hope on me anymore since I've never succeeded since Secondary Four. HAHA:P No matter how bad are the insults were from some ppl about my 'body size', my response will still be a smile on my face, with a slight heartbreak sound inside, after that, I'll forget about it, and the whole process repeats itself again and again, for years.

Someone tell me again, how can I stop ignoring things happening around me, and be more observant and less clumsy. SIGH.

Looking at the bright side, I've a question to ask... AM I TOO BLESSED with all the people I've met in my life/ around me?
Never had I met any evil people in my life, most of them are really nice and angelic (HAH!)
Good and supportive housemates and friends, loving family, have you ever seen your friends' expression when you achieved something and they are so happy for u and you can see it's really a true expression coming from their heart? Well, I could feel that at that moment and although I didn't say anything, I secretly chanted a prayer and hope our friendship will last.

You guys are more than enough of what I've always wanted as my good friends, you know who you are, and I'm sorry if I'm too busy with my own things and get too self- centred at times.
You know I truly appreciate you and it's just too hard to express everything out in daily life as it might be too .... 'emotional' haha:P

Seriously, I am blessed with the existence of all these lovable ppl <3> :D

Stressed? No more!

I think I have thousand words to say, but that pic above shows what's in my mind;D

It was a beautiful experience, another colourful page in my life booklet.
I am glad that I joined this musical.

Someone asked me how did I get into this production. I actually joined a singing competition in March and there is this production manager from CMG who passed me a name card and asked if I'm interested to join the musical. Then...blahhhh. haha:D
Thanks Siekieh Lau!

It's been two months, travelling down to city at least 4-5 times a week, I had three important things to do at a certain period of time: Mr.Teh, Uni work and Musical.
I'd say it's been really tiring but worthwhile, I'm saying that with no regrets.

I tried doing my best for this time although acting is not my strength, and singing.... hmm I didn't perform my best for the song in this musical cos the range for that song is the biggest I've ever got to perform on stage. Thanks for ppl who's been giving me encouragement non-stop throughout the rehearsals. It wasn't easy to hit the notes and perform well when I didn't have much time to practice. I hope I have been patient enough.

It was awesome that miss jiani joined this with me, so that we keep each other company at first, and later on joined this BIG bunch of MONKEYS! I guess it's destined that crazy people are meant to meet crazy friends. GAH! hahah:P

It's been a successful performance! Should I say performances. 5 Shows! Maybe more than that including rehearsals! GOSH. I am missing those moments eventhough it's been taking up sooo much time. There r a lot of awesome ppl in there and also very very cool director Felix Ho!
Thanks yiqian and weiloon for the flowers and bear!
Also, Thanks to Mr.Teh, Mr. Teh, Dolphine and friend, Housemates: Suren, Patrick, Dino and Zaki, Bn Friends: Pawhui, Desmond and Uncle Ethan, Jowen and three friends, and for the last show, Eqian, Vic, Carmen, Zelex, Weiloon, Qihan, Leepoh, Kimmunn, Huikuang, Sherlynn, Christina and two friends, Laura, Amy, Dorothy, Angeline, Daisy, Kinglin, Daniel, Jiayun & Peggie for coming for support!

Hope you guys enjoyed the show! And thanks for wanting to come:DDDDDDDDDDD You don't know how much it meant to me!

AND P.S Another Q&A

Q: Do you guys get paid?
A: No, it's a non-profit organization, the money earned from ticket sales should be put into CMG fund I assume.

First musical joined

HEY PEOPLE in Melbourne! Show me your love! Come support me and the others for this musical performance! :) I am gona be the old old mother/ big mama in the musical, which is one of the main casts.

Still working hard in building up my character, it's really hard for me cos I have to act as a middle-aged, strong feminist, but a loving mother, sigh how hard is that!

Clubbing after weeks...

Let me tell you a story about Anusha.

Anusha has been a good girl for 22 years and before she goes back, I insisted that she should go clubbing once, so there we went to Seven on the 7th of July.

Aite, cut the crap... hahah, pictures will do the talking, I am sleepy. And the reason that I'm motivated (or terrified) to update my blog is because of my stupid sister. You know, just in case she boycotts my blog. NOOO, I don't wana lost a reader. hahah:P

OK PICTURES :)

I am putting this because some friends chat with me and asked if I'm slimmer ord HHAHAHA! So it's a must-put photo!
Cy bought the 10 bucks entrance ticket for us




This is Anusha who is leaving to Malaysia in 6 days time :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

OH NO!

CMG Melb Uni camp

LOOK AT MY TUMMY! Camp didn't help me lose weight either SUCKS! hahaha:P
Blame myself I'm back to my normal overweight kg on the scale. darnn! I can't stop eating, although it's so good to have yiqian around to control my diet, but it balances out when I go out with jiani and she feeds me with food/ brings me around to 'hunt' for nice food.

This camp, the second camp I joined in Melb, is organized by Melbourne Uni, I kehpoh and skipped to others' uni hhahaa:P It was awesome in a way that there is singing workshop, flying fox (which I dint get to play las time), canoeing (casts din get to play cos we were attending workshop) and a lot of activities including soccer! (with a big footbal) hahah:P

The scenery is also breathtaking it's as pretty as those photoshopped photos but the main difference is it was just right in front of me. TSKTSK.


Flying fox! I like this photo cos I looked so happy! hahahha:)

And our FASHION SHOW! with the team 'Ladygaga', 'Crimson Spring' and 'Summer'. See what our group came out with, RUBBISH!!!!!!!! Damn hilarious!!!!!!!

I was wearing a plastic panty with bow, and there's another plastic bow on my head. looks like siaochabo= my second nick after 'S.P.Y'. People tend to call me that after getting a long w me, it's not a compliment at all, so no thank you.
WAH confident somemore, there wasn't any mirror for us to look into, that's why AHH embarrassing!!!!!!! haahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Oh this is my HOTTTTTTTTTt team leader, the only guy in my group, this is quite a creative game, we have to stuff eggroll in the mouth and try to pass some equation to the next team member, and you will eventually end up spitting egg rolls on ur team member's face WHAHAHA

This nerdy looking gal is jiani, she normally doesn't look like that, the cute girl behind is me. thank you very much.
Campfire! yeh first time in ma life!;) It was awesome!
This is Anthony an architect. I really liked the firecrackers in this photo.

This is just a pre-production camp, can't wait for the training to start although I can imagine how exhausting it's gona be, and how much patience I need in the coming weeks till mid August, to travel to city everyday and to try to come back every night to sleep on my NEW MATTRESS (realized I'm showing off! HAHAH)

Bah (brunei accent), till then!

P.s photos: credits to Jamie

Whatever as long as you are happy:D

Anusha is the big boss now since she's leaving so soon, where ever or whatever she wants to go or do, I TRIEDDD to make it, although I'm almost a 100% 'aeroplane queen' now. too bad.

We went to Knot, a uni bar near to our house the other day, people around this area go to this bar, I dono if the drinks are cheap but it's just something like yumcha IMO, in an 'angmoh' style. It's their culture, they don't drink 'tea' they drink liquor when they need to kill time like how we did during yumcha sessions, IMO again. haha:)



Tasmania trip is just around the corner! thanks to Kevin for sharing his experience and providing info of places to go etc. haha:) time to get it more well-planned!
Off we go Anusha & Alin!

Housemates @ Docklands

Long time no see readers!

So...
Before Anusha's last day of exam, Suren boss suggested to bring us for a car ride.
We went to Docklands and it was really a nice place, and according to Suren, it's his second home, so he's pretty familiar with the place, and of course he is pretty much a good tour guide to tour around Melbourne. See below for our modelling photos! haha:P

Never see models with such short legs huh. I am the first then!
Our wedding photo:) Anusha I'm gona miss u. Countdown: 16 days
This guy likes to gain his confidence for height by asking me to stand in front of him cos he'll never get blocked, neither height nor 'width' HAHAHHAA

In front of my big big mirror!
Dinner with the housemates, except for Patrick, anyone wana rent his room he's not home! hahaha:P
Actually most people prefer Asian food (referring to friends who are not local) cos the portion is bigger and it's tasty as well. Filling is the most important of all. hehehe
And some more photos from Docklands, around 2am I guess. crazy people. hahah, I get excited when someone can give me car ride here, desperate for it since I always need to go on public transport. tired of walking but not losing weight yet! hahahahaa
Ghost festival.
Directed by suren.
Anusha imitating Harry Potter. Anupotter.
GAHHHHHHHHH I DON WAN ANUSHA TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;(((((((((
Noone is gona wake me up, noone is gona help me 'dissect' my assignment question, ahhh i need anusha she's my good housemate!

LAST DAY OF EXAM!

WORK HARD FOR THE LAST DAY, and it's the final exam day tomorrow! And last round for semi-finals tomorrow night! Hope I go through it and get into finals! :)))) Blog soon!

It'd be great if I can just eat and sing all day.

I am surrounded with good cooks, at home it's Anusha Gowriswaran & Mr.Suren.
Then, Eqianfong who can prepare food for the party.
And in the city, there are two more, namely Jiani and Desmond who provide me with full-of-love home-cooked dinner.

The pic below is taken at Desmond's place.;)
Then the other two with the two beautiful ladies is at Lygoon Street/ food paradise!

I have been so so caught up with assignments, and in between with the oh-so-right-timing singing semi rounds, which it was the first time I promised myself if I don't get through one of the rounds, I won't even bother to go revivals which is this coming Wednesday and Thursday. I have another exam on Thurs. Sigh hardd.

There is actually another overview photo but I am not gona upload until I have to. I look horrible in that photo wahlao!

"Which Aunty is that! OOHHH it's you!" (Suren, 2010).


This is third round of the competition. I was quite surprised that I did well for it by looking at the screen showing lyrics kinda frequently, but fortunately noone nor the judges realize it. ;P
I basically tried my best to SHAKKE SHAKKE no matter how my meats are gona 'shake' with me, hahah! It helped! Yehaa! Oh btw, my beloved friends out there who THOUGHT I've slimmed down, take a look at the photos in fb ppl tagged me, cos you can't find VERY-SCARILY-FAT photos of mine here since I am the one who picked which to upload and it's not possibly I'd choose those I look bad in rite. hhahha;P

Whatsoevahhh I am so gona forget about everything else and start preparing for exams!
One on this thurs, another on next thurs. Then DONE!

People are so jealous of me when I say I finish exams on 10th June (It's actually the first day of exam period for Monash, I've no idea bt other unis in Melbourne).
And they'd go on and say 'You finish earlier LAHH, Noone's gona be free to go anywher2 with you!'
TRUE ALSO! :((((
