3 different girls
It's that instant that I realised I miss her so much when I heard her voice.
What about you, penguin?
--------------------------------------------------------------
I challenged her to hold a balloon to uni - to lectures and tutorials. It's because last weekend she said that she liked balloons and would like to decorate her room with them. So I brought a yellow balloon for her this morning and made her hold it all the way to uni. It's just a fifteen minutes walk and it's a relief for her that there were not many people around in the morning. Halfway to campus, she said, ‘喂,我还要做医生的叻!’She kept asking me whether she could release the air from the balloon but I firmly said no. I told her that she should tie her hair into ponytails so that she would look more like a little girl with the balloon in her hand. =P As we were reaching the R1 lecture theatre, many students who had finished attending their lectures there came out - it was like a whole swarm of bees racing out of the round-shape building. Luckily no one stared at her...haha!
Thank you for your courage, er jie =D
I'll bring some more balloons tomorrow and the next few days...
--------------------------------------------------------------
After the tutorial this morning, I went to campus centre to buy my lunch. I stood in front of the Peri-peri Chicken shop and noticed a girl there - she looked kinda cool wearing that cap with such a pretty face. Wait, she looked like someone familiar. I looked straight into her eyes, and...oh she winked at me!
It's Janet!!

iNterestiNg weekeNd!!!
As usual, we took the bus and then train from Huntingdale station to Melbourne Central. The train stopped for quite a while at Flinders Street station and we were supposed to reach College Square at around 7.15pm but ended up reaching there around 8pm. We stayed a while at Melbourne Central to buy a dozen of Krispy Kremes! Yummy~ sweet sweet doughnuts! We then took tram to Lygon Street and walked straight up to College Square. This was the second time I had to take tram myself (with Chean Ying) without following anyone. And I was like asking her, 'Do you know which direction is the State Library? We have to take the tram from there.' She was like, 'This one?' And we walked a few steps till I realised it didn't seem like the street I used to walk, so I took another left turn and reached the tram stop in front of the State Library. Then I asked her, 'Do you know which number we should take?' She said, 'No' and I told her it's either 1 or 8. (I remembered 8 and knew the other one was 1 after confirmed with Amelene). 'Remember that ar...next time you can travel on your own to Zhi Han's place!' She was saying that she planned to go to College Square on her own if no one was going to stay overnight. I asked, 'How are you going to get there if you don't know which tram to take and which direction?' 'Well...just call Ling Sing or Zhi Han and ask lo...' She said with innocent eyes. 'Har...haiyo...okay now I teach you la...you better remember...' Suddenly I feel that I am independent after all =P
While waiting for the other friends to watch the movie at IMAX, I grabbed a book and started to read it but was feeling drowsy. There were some people dressed up like witches and wizards at Borders but I guess the atmosphere wasn't that meriah, probably coz there's not many children of HP fans around.
Finally at a few minutes past 3pm, Ryan and Phik Lun arrived by tram. I led the way to IMAX and we were like rushing there coz according to Yun Ying, there was a long queue waiting to get into the theatre (it's free seating and we had to go in early to choose seats to have a better view). The world's largest screen is at IMAX in Melbourne! Wheee! The screen was really large and the 3D specs were so cool! That was my first time watching a 3D movie =D
The 3D specs
It was already 6pm by the time we finished watching the movie. We had dinner at Univesal Pizza at Lygon. The best part of eating out with friends is that you can share and try out other kinds of foods served in the restaurant! Imagine if you are eating alone and all you get to eat is that food you ordered. That's why I love eating out with friends...sharing is caring (Deakin's Sayang Group motto). Oh, Chean Ying was holding a balloon all the way (yes even when we were having our dinner!) in her hand. It read '#1 HARRY FAN'! I was saying, 'you didn't even read the books how can you say that you are a Harry fan? So give me the balloon =P' and she said, 'yerrr, don't want...' And while in the train going back I imitated Yu Wan's style and told her, '一个气球都可以弄到你这么开心,你真的很可爱’..haha!

I have my 1st yoga class today!
Today is quite a hectic day as we have class non stop from 8am to 4pm without a lunch break! 2 hours of lecture in the morning, 2 hours of epidemiology tutorial, 2 hours of practical and then 2 hours of selective. Luckily practical ended about 20 minutes earlier and I was able to grab a pizza for lunch. I planned to eat while walking to the sports centre but it started drizzling. So I stopped and took shelter in front of the Religious Centre (though I have a hoodie but I didn't want my food to get wet =P). It's so cold today...
Yesterday
As I was walking down the lane
I smiled to myself
And the rain started pouring down

Back to Uni...
I would like to thank my friends who wish me good luck in the exam, either via online or sms-es. I was feeling stressed (I spent my time watching Korean drama!) for not knowing much of anatomy and biology stuff (in short, EVERYTHING in semester 1) and those messages encouraged me to move on! Thanks people!
And now, 16/7/2007 - it's the beginning..
The beginning of semester 2 - it's going to be more hectic than semester 1;
The beginning of getting to know more of my coursemates now that our PCL groups are different from semester 1;
The beginning of spending my time more wisely;
The beginning of new uni life with more new students;
The beginning of exploring more areas of interest eg around Melbourne city;
The beginning of spending more time doing more fun and enjoyable activities eg cooking, making desserts, playing piano, looking at photos hehehe..
The beginning of being more active in both Friendster and Facebook;
The beginning of watching more dramas (currently my interest is Korean dramas).
p/s: I can't wait for my selective class to start! Wonder how's yoga going to be like =P

-updates-
1. Conney arrived Melbourne on 27th June and stayed with Yu Wan for 2 days, then moved to my room on 29th morning;
2. Friends from Perth namely Ling Weng, Hsiu Li, Yi Tyeng, Yee Fang, Yijia and Jia Huei arrived on 28th June - Ling Weng stayed in my room from 29th June to 3rd July.
That means from 29th June to 3rd July, Ling Weng and Conney stayed in my room and after the Perth gang left for Sydney on the 4th, Conney stayed with me till today (7th July).
Guess what happened within this period? We surely had lots of fun - it was sort of like a gathering of INTEC friends (from Perth, Tasmania, Sydney) at Melbourne. We had a 'dine-in' dinner on 29th June to welcome our guests, the number of people including us in Monash was about 25! Imagine how our 'chefs' cooked the food (by the way, I planned the menu before the discussion with the chefs =P). It was also during dine-in that Siaw Tze first saw me after we didn't meet each other for about six months. Long six months surely meant a lot - to the extent that she couldn't recognise me! I was standing beside the table, right opposite of the entrance door of the common room while my old pal aka big sis Siaw Tze walked in - past me - straight to the group of girls chit-chatting behind me! Imgaine that! I was staring and looking into her eyes from the moment she stepped into the common room and she didn't even look at me for a second! So teruk....that meant my hair is really long that she could't recognise me after all! She even asked Conney (while standing behind me), 'Who's this person?' =.= I felt so....so....aih...! As balasan for her, I purposely didn't want to take her picture with my camera...hehe~ Anyway all of us ate till very full that night and took a group picture! A grand group picture...it's grand coz there's so many people!
Food food food
[I still don't have the group picture in my laptop, will upload it later after I get it from my friends.]
On 30th June - the 2nd anniversary of knowing INTEC friends, we went to Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve Apostles. It was cold and windy (yes very very very windy!!) It was a day trip organised by the Monash Sports Centre and we went there by bus. It was also the day I saw rainbow so many times in one day! We could see koalas on the way there but they were sleeping high up on the trees. A few of us went for the helicopter ride which cost us at a discounted price of $60, 10 minutes ride above the sky to have a good view of the Twelve Apostles and the coastal line of Great Ocean Road.
Did you see the two rainbows in the sky?
Group picture - again, not really perfect coz I haven't got the other pictures from other friends.
On 1st of July, I got sick (flu + cough) and didn't go out with my friends to the city. I felt so sick that I didn't go out for 2 days. I stayed in room the whole day, tried to study but my memory was stuck. Couldn't think or remember stuff that I had studied. So I switched to playing games on my laptop while anticipating for them to come back (to accompany me ma..).
On 3rd of July, I was feeling a bit better and so I went out with them to St. Kilda beach. The beach looked small coz there was some construction going on. It was a sunny day, cool and windy! I felt better breathing fresh air and looked good taking pictures =P
3 silly girls trying to act cool - YF, age 19; Conney, age 20; ST, age 21
Act cool again, but YF looked like she was going to laugh =P
(They were like promoting...sunglasses?)
We spent the next 2 days shopping - Knox City on 5th and Smith Street on 6th. There were a lot of factory outlets along Smith Street, such as Adidas, Nike, Fila, New Balance, Converse etc. It was a windy, rainny day and I wore the wrong jacket out. I should wear a thicker one! Oh well, I bought a scarf and a cardigan! So happy =)
And so, today - 07/07/07 - Conney went back to Tasmania. This marks the end of my holiday - what I mean is that I should start studying for the coming exam on 16th July and stop enjoying so much.
This long post is brought to you by...
Me!

Thank you my friends!
So I stayed in my room yesterday online-ing and playing computer games. Tried to study but at the end didn't turn a page at all. Can't seem to remember things well. (That's the reason I spent about 2 or 3 hours writing the previous post on Sydney trip). Chean Ying er jie sent me a sms about wanting me to be 快乐 and I'm grateful for that. Later Daniel texted me to announce about MISU Sayang group function that night - watching movie at 11pm. I replied him that I would be going [as long as my flu didn't spread around]. He replied me saying that Yeu Sheng da jie would make a big cup of honey lemon, and again, I felt grateful for that.
During lunch, Zhi Han asked me whether did I take any medication and I said no because I didn't have any. She said that she would buy some for me if she's going out - yes I'm grateful for that too!
At dinner, Yu Wan kept asking me to eat more of the spaghetti because she said that I need more energy. The night before that, she even made a big pot of hot chrysanthemum tea for us to drink the next morning. [It's also from this incident that I realised Hsiu Li eats flowers =P]. I'm grateful that she's always cooking and making stuff for us to eat, such as jelly, red bean soup, breakfast...
Later at night when Ling Weng and Conney came back to my room, I asked them if they were going to watch movie at Deakin and they said they were not coz they were too tired. As I was coughing more frequently, I texted Daniel that I would not be going for the movie because my flu got worse. A few minutes after that, I received a call - it was Chean Ying using Daniel's phone (it was Daniel's pic which appeared when my phone rang and of coz I felt a bit surprised to hear Chean Ying's voice, hehe). She asked, 'Your flu became worse oh?' to which I answered 'Yeah' and she said, 'We make something for you la...[background voice: 人参] Sayang group operation..so later you go down and open the door [of your stairway] for us yea..' At that moment I didn't know what to say. I felt grateful to have such friends around =)
When the three of them (Chean Ying, Yeu Sheng, Daniel) arrived at my door, a thermos flask with a note sticked on it was given to me - it said, 'Get well soon!! From Sayang group. sayang u always' (da jie's handwriting). I was touched and wanted to give them a hug but I didn't do so because it was cold and I felt weak. So you guys remember yea, I owe you people a hug!!
p/s: Thanks Siaw Tze for that xx - but 2 presents mean 2 xx! =P
