in the quiet

in the chaos, in confusion
i know, You're sovereign still

today was quite a fullfilling day :) spent the morning tidying up my room with mummy, vacuumed, organized and arranged everything. i can actually see my table now.

at around 2 jerica and christine came to pick me up. drove all the way to hawthorne, im not sure if i got the spelling right(probably not), to have lunch. we wanted to have jap at this place called samurai, but they closed at 3. so instead we walked around, and around, i think we walked the entire stretch, till we decided to just eat at this cafe-y place. couldnt remember the name, haha. we nearly went to sophia's in camberwell but i was about to faint from hunger pangs, so we didnt. (:

had yummy food and talked about chick flicks! haha. time well spent indeed. after that we decided to walk some more, then headed home. we got lost though so i was a leeetle bit late. decided not to join aunty michelle and mum and sis for dinner, so i slept instead. obviously.

but aunty michelle and her family came over so i got to spend a little time with her and her family :) her two daughters are beyond adorable. if(when) i have kids, i want them to be exactly like nicole & victoria. haha. theyre just absolute angels.

i found out this website where i can watch movies so i am definitely a happy camper. haha. kung fu panda is hilarious, i lurve it. :D

okay so thats about it. christine is going home tomorrow, ill miss her. i miss peiqi tooo. and everyone else whos going homee, have a safe flight :)

sydney in ONE day. (:

only you will i adore

hope will rise, glory shown
in my life, Your will be done

Its a new day

for the world will fade away
still my song to you remains

i am still alive. barely. harhar, okay no im joking. or at least i was semi-joking. exams have really been driving me up the wall. actually, i think ive become uber lazy. i can sit in front of the tv for hours on end and not get bored, seriously. i think ive given new meaning to the word couch potato. i am the epitome of couch potatoes if you will. i wondered how i survived SPM?! -.-

i still have one more paper to go, so that being said naturally i thought itd be the perfect time to update my blog, before the next millennium arrives and im still stuck at post '7th june'. (:

so the thing ive been looking forward to the most has finally arrived in the form of my mummy :) i really thank God that she was able to make this trip, because for the remainder of the year she will be the only little piece of home i will get. im so envious of those who get to return home during the june holidays, ive been feeling soso homesick for the longest time, i feel its already ingrained in me.

i need to see my friends, i need to see them & hug them and ask them if they still remember me, and thump them if they say no. heh, kidding. :) but seriously, whoever who has not given up reading my blog, reading this now, i miss you. more than words can say.

however despite all of it, melbourne has been an interesting experience so far. ive had countless ups and downs, probably more downs, but God has truly been faithful :) one of the things im most grateful for is my sister. granted, we've had our fair share of disagreements and the occasional "im ignoring you go away grr" moments, but nevertheless shes been there for me. in my loneliest and darkest moments she gave me strength to carry on. :) youre awesome che. also if it werent for her, id probably starve to death. or all my hair would've fallen out from living on indomie(which is all i can make). seriously.

i get the feeling this is going to be a preeetty long post. this is what happens when you become a potato and procrastinate people. tsk.

anyways, oh! another thing i realized, coming to melbourne, i have not taken many pictures. my camera is collecting dust somewhere in my room. so, my blog will pretty much be picture-less indefinitely. this is why we have facebook. i am completely reliant on other people's cameras.

so updates, from what i can remember, not in chronological order, harhar.

• anns 21st suprise party/dinner at Toto's :) had a goodgood time. after all there was food. & good company of course.
  
• Sex and the City movie with sis, her friends & beebee. definitely my movie of the year <3
• Chronicles of Narnia with my two girls (: was fun drooling over hot actors together.
  
• busking for psych! definitely a moment to remember :)) fun fun day!
• all the tuesday after EAP hangout sessions with sarah and matthew. i always have a good time with them (: cant wait for next term!
  
• studying, suprisingly quite often, in the library. no im not becoming a nerd. i talk more than i study.
  
• nacho session with lynn before she went back. i miss her already.
• Come Celebrate! =)

okay, it is tiring trying to recap how many months worth of stuff. my brain is fried. suppose to be studying for psychology.

i think i will leave it here, for now. sydney in three days, i cant wait! I NEED TO SHOP! :( badly. God forgive me if i get in over my head.



okay so imagine all that, but about 3 times messier. :) that was taken when we just moved in. so yeah.

ohoh and the emails that i havent replied, i will get my lazy ass moving and reply them once exams are over okayy? :)

i miss all of youu. tons of love. xxx

what can i say?

do you hear me,

talking to you?

have been superbly unmotivated to blog since ive been here. no idea why, but since im blaming everything on the weather as it is, i guess ill stick to that? :) but thats not fair, the weather has been nice la.

ive also come to realize that the only times that i am actually motivated to blog, is when im actually not feeling too good about myself, or something bad has happened, or anything that can be categorized as emo. is that just me? :/ probably rightt. i guess at times when theres really no one left to turn to, or well it seems that way, we vent to our blogs :) again, could be just me.

sometimes we just want someone who will listen; not hear, listen. people should talk less & listen more, seriously, because you have two ears, and only one mouth.

sometimes i think people are judging me for being quiet; maybe i come off as being snobbish even; arrogant or proud. it breaks my heart that my true intentions dont come across the way i want it to, and maybe its because im doing it wrongly. im not sure.

thats another thing, its hard to find people who will acknowledge or truly appreciate others who take time to listen. it just is. i guess its because we live in a world that is so "me" focused, that we forget about everyone else.

this post probably doesnt make any sense, haha. but if it does to you, for whatever reason, press on. dont give up listening, but know that its not going to be easy. it never is. im not giving up. :) i wont.

i think im quite screwed, suppose to be studying for exams, but then i come up with this emo thing. haha. :)

my heart has never left home <3>
