Lol. I'm in the comp lab now, only my 2nd time here but I love it & im gonna glue my ass on this seat to finish, or rather, start researching on my finance assignment.

I was browsing through my inbox and I found this hilarious. What a good way to kick start my research! ;p

WAYS TO TURN DOWN UNWANTED MEN !!!!

HE : Can I buy you a drink?
SHE : Actually I'd rather have the money.

HE : I'm a photographer. I've been looking for a face like yours.
SHE : I'm a plastic surgeon. I've been looking for a face like yours.

HE : Hi. Didn't we go on a date once? Or was it twice?
SHE : Must've been once. I never make the same mistake twice.

HE : How did you get to be so beautiful?
SHE : I must've been given your share.

HE : Will you go out with me this Saturday?
SHE : Sorry. I'm having a headache this weekend.

HE : Your face must turn a few heads.
SHE : And your face must turn a few stomachs.

HE : Go on ,don't be shy. Ask me out.
SHE : Okay, get out.

HE : I think I could make you very happy.
SHE : Why? Are you leaving?

HE : What would you say if I asked you to marry me?
SHE : Nothing. I can't talk and laugh at the same time.

HE : Can I have your name?
SHE : Why? Don't you already have one?

HE : Shall we go see a movie?
SHE : I've already seen it.

HE : Where have you been all my life?
SHE : Hiding from you.

HE : Haven't I seen you some place before?
SHE : Yes. That's why I don't go there anymore.

HE : Is this seat empty?
SHE : Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.

HE : So, what do you do for a living?
SHE : I'm a female impersonator.

HE : Hey baby, what's your sign?
SHE : Do not enter.

HE : Your body is like a temple.
SHE : Sorry, there are no services today.

HE : If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.
SHE : If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing

Just for laughs okay!! Back to assignment now.

Omg, four assignments due next week and next next week,

and guess what?

I have...

NOT started any.

Brilliant.

My holiday plans ultimately were to look through all my subjects, complete all tutorial work, read the text books, and of course complete my assignments.

Hehe, yeah right!

Tomorrow la I will start. Have to postpone the trip to St.Kilda's beach some more :( But good also la, cause I'm at the peak- fattest condition ever now. So I will save the beach when I tone down on my greediness ;)

Still can't upload pics as I haven't moved back to IH...

Last night, a good friend broke a bad news to me.

I won't name names. A good friend of mine, his dad passed away. It was a sudden death.

I was stunned, shocked, speechless. My heart felt faint. My weakness is and has always been the feeling of losing someone I love. Where I could feel the pinch from a friend's dad, what more of the people I care about deeply?

Does bring us to back to reality, doesn't it?

Wakes us up, warning us that we might not always have tomorrow to tell that someone how much we love him/her.

So, all of you - go tell your parents, brothers, sisters, friends, that you love them now!!

You never know when you're going to... you know.

Dear A, though I may not be in your situation and thus does not give me a reason to completely understand, but do know that I along with other friends are here for you. I know you won't do anything silly, of course you won't, you're a wise and practical person! I'm sorry I can't be there in person to comfort you. I would though, if I can. I know how your dad is like, a pillar of strength to you and everything. I'm sure you'll get through this and be a stronger person. He'll be proud of you!

*I love my parents and brothers and grandma and friends a lot, and I hope I'll learn to show more love & care for them.*

The other day, I was having a chat with a friend.

We were reminiscing our younger days. Of those times in primary where we used to have crushes, and exchanged shy glances in class, passing notes to each other, telling friends to tell our crushes that we like them, and all that.

Oh! and interacting through icq, the "in" thing then. and of writing autograph books, writing, hinting little messages in it.

And in class, anticipating each day with feelings of excitement and hysteria, thinking what our crushes would do, or whether he or she will acknowledge/smile to us.

Those were the days, those were the days.

Damn I miss them.

Randomness.

I currently need to:

Start looking through my Micro econs, ARA, QM1 and Finance 1 assignments. If I roughly know what to do, it's fine. Thing is, I don't even know the questions. It's all due after the hols.

Library, here I come tomorrow!

On Thursday, I, Wei Lynn, cooked something for the first time in her life. *please clap your hands*

I went to the grocery store to get the ingredients with Mich. We wanted to cook 'yee min'. My all time favourite ;) haha. I don't even know what ingredients we needed man, except for the main ones like pork, prawns, and cabbage. I'm a seafood person :)

So, after *roughly* figuring out what to get, I thought hey we should ask the cashier(the woman who owns the grocery store) how to cook it. Come on, how can we even think of cooking without even knowing what's the first step??!! So I asked and YAY i rushed back to prepare. haha.

It was sooo fun pouring sauces all over okay, adding more of this la, that la. It was okay at first, but in the end, instead of making it wet, we made it half wet half dry. But but, aaron & jess liked it! (at least i think they do)

So, you see, I'm starting to think that I might have some talent in cooking....

---

Oh, why am I cooking eh?

You see, it's spring break now so i've moved out of college and currently staying in yuet's apartment. Not mentioning apartment hopping from time to time, like jee wei's :) So, no more meals prepared for me, have to cook lor =( but i'm starting to like it! cause i feel like a pro haha.

When I come back, I'll cook for anyone who wants to try my cooking kay? I know my parents will be the first who'd want to try. They're so supportive laaa.

---

I spent last night with Jee Wei, Kah Ho and some other friends. We went to this apparently really good club and lined up for an hour but didn't manage to get in in the end! So much for my enthusiasm in clubbing ;) so we headed to Crown at 1.30 a.m. for supper. Ooh lala. Food beats anything man.

And jee wei's friend, bernita who's born in indonesia but lived in s'pore, wow she's a hard core clubber man! Used to be, she claimed. Like, she used to club at least twice a week, sometimes even Mondays and Wednesdays.

Haha let's just hope I won't be on the clubbing high. I'm not much of a clubber anyway. I'm more of a homelyyy person :)

Stayed over at jee wei's.

Today, played badminton for three good hours. Aaron and chin yu came along yay yay.

I had a good time. I really really want to improve my game and enjoy it without being self conscious playing with people better than me!

Speaking of which,

I was a bit angry at myself last Sunday, as I lost in the melb uni open tournament. I played singles.. I started questioning my talent in badminton then. Talk talk talk to my mom, yeah she said I'd just stick to being a social player. Come on, I can't compare myself to all these state players who has been training a few times a week for years, right? Though sometimes I wish my parents had sent me to trainings like these...

Not to mention that I played like shit, sigh it's just me to give up so easily.

And it's not the first time.

No, I won't ever give up that easily anymore. I won't.

If it's gonna take me years to change, I will.

What's the quote again?

'Losers quit without trying, winners try.'

Or something like that.

---

This is what I believe in:

Whenever you're sad/depressed, don't keep it all in, start blaming the world, or lock yourself in your room.

Reach out to people, instead.

Make someone happy. Anyone.

Either complimenting someone on her dress, or talk to an old lady in the bus, or buying desserts for your friend, or I don't know, anything.

That's about the best you can do,

give unconditionally,

and you'll be happy again.

'We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.'

Good night! :)

p/s: Pics on Great Ocean Road and all outings will be up next next week hopefully. Connection right now's not exactly at its best :(

So many of my friends are going to UK to further their studies!

Gee, if it were not for my last minute melbourne choice, I would be joining the excitement ;)

Oh well.

I am very very happy here at Melbourne so it's alll gooood :)

On another note, don't you all think that life is somewhat unpredictable?

Like, something you thought never would happen, happened.

Something you thought would happen, did not.

Most of us will usually get hyped up about something, and go on and on thinking, getting frustrated along the way.

Honestly, is it worth it?

Things change.

Nothing's permanent.

Whatever happens today, might not be the same anymore in months/years to come.

And that's what makes life so much more...

interesting =)

Goodbye, Siew Mei and Theresa. Miss you :(

Sorry I haven't been updating!

It's spring break now, I wanna have a good break :D

Will update soon, I hope!!

P/S: One of my closest friends just left for UK today.. Siew Mei, I am SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! UCL man..in the heart of london city & one of the most prominent unis in the world.. fuhh. hehe. I really hope you can come/I can visit you... Miss you sooooo much la dear u can't believe it!! =(

Also, Theresa is leaving with sm as well!! all the best in everything girl :) i miss you too!!!! really i mean it!! both of you definitely rocked my one and a half a-levels life ;)

I never thought mornings could be so beautiful.

'I'm going to wake up early from now on, it feels so good to start the day early', I thought.
(Sigh, I really hope I can do that)

This morning, as usual, I dreaded to wake up. My bed's so comfy, and especially now that spring has drawn so close... YET, i had to wake up as I had self-help on from 9 to 12 a.m.

Everyone who stays at IH has to do 9 hours of compulsory self-help. Like, a form of minor contribution to the house. There's kitchen work, house cleaning, gardening etc. I chose:
Gardening.

I can see little white flowers on grasses, bushes. It's amazing. The garderner let me off early. That's why I have time to blog now, yes! Haha :p

Okay, my weekend.

Friday, 7th September

Classes ended at 3.15 p.m. Then it's off the Melb Central to do a lil shoppin'. Wooooot.
Rushed back to IH for choir rehearsal which did not happen in the end as not many turned up. Then, mich and i met up with su yan at Queen's and we headed to Yuet's place for movie.

Ahh!!!!

And suddenly, I felt like a little girl all over again.

I TOTALLY loooove this movie!! ;p love love love! I used to watch it soo many times in my parents' room, when I could barely understand the meaning of love. Funny, as tears were already prickling down my cheeks then...

This movie, is about this man (Roberto Benigni) who believed everything possible, went after what he wanted, got it, and had never regret or let it go ever since. Even till his last breath, he kept a smile on his face, not letting his loved ones know that he was going to die. His love for his family and power of imagination to save them, has proved that even in its darket moments, shines a light of hope and joy.

Nominated for 7 Academy Awards in 1998, winning Best Actor - Benigni, Foreign Film and Dramatic Music Score.

p/s: Pin, this is the movie I was telling you about! I bought the dvd over here... Haha. I could mail it over to you if you want ;)

After the movie, we (Yuet, Ming, Suyan, Sandya, Mich, PJ and I) played Truth or Dare.

Omg! The funniest one was Michelle. PJ dared her two things:

1) To go downstairs and talk to the security guard

2) Knock on PJ's next room girl to ask for salt.

She chose the latter, of course. However, she took ages to do it. She needs more guts, like me. But she's slowly learning, so it's okay... Hehe.

After the game (at about 4 a.m.), the guys and sandya went down to watch the Rugby World Cup. PJ wanted to watch badly as his home country France was playing. So we girls stayed in and talk,and soon enough we fell asleep. Wake up the next morning and a long day awaited me :(

On Saturday, 8th September

After brunch, Charlie, Mich and I went to watch a play! Wild Orchids, it's called. The story's about the life of a lesbian, and how she dealt with life. Caleen, my long lost primary friend was the main actress. I knew she had it in her since young =) She's darn good!

Mich, Caleen, Me, Jo.

After the play, charl and mich and I went for a walk around campus!

Charlie Jong & I.


I like this pic! It's so... random ;)


Me in front of a law building.

Then it was time to go back to IH for BRAZILIAN NIGHT!
I'm in the choir. And I lost my voice the night before. How, perfect :) Haha...


The Menu.


Main Course.


Our table! =)


Miss Braziliansss...


Bonnie & I.


Clayton & I.


Mich, Me, Monica.

Mich was in Samba dance and she was awesome! Crap, I need her to teach me how to dance...


Wiggy & I.


Adrian & I acting cool.


Do I look cool here? Haha.


Christopher Cyuyengkeng. Omg hes super funny!


After brazilian night there was an after party, but my voice was already lost so, no alcohol for me. A bunch of us headed to Lygon for ice creams!!! I had cakes at Brunetti's and it was the Bomb!! Sigh, my dream is to try every kind of food possible in the world.


Amber & I outside Fredo's.




That explains my Sat. On Sun, finally I went to the library! To do a little catching up on studies... I have a test on Wed which consist of 10% of the whole subject!

The uni campus looks so deserted and quiet on a Sunday. BUT, the moment I walked into the library! SO MANY people were inside! On a Sunday! I was shocked.

Why, I don't understand. I used to be one of them too, going to Tropicana library on Sundays... those were the times. I kinda miss Tropicana library. And my MYVI.

Bye.

Hmm, I have about 2 hours till dinner. Which means, I have time to blog! =)

I'm still feeling a bit unfit. You see, I fell sick 2 to 3 days ago.

I must have gotten it from Michelle, who was sick since last Thursday, and I've been around her everyday...

Getting ill in another country is the worst that can happen! Imagine, living alone (well not literally alone, but without any family members around, you know what I mean) and you need some form of care to push you to feel better.

So, please do take care. Don't be like me. Macho macho all. Eat so much every day. I don't even remember drinking water anymore... it's so not me!!! Back in malaysia, i live on water. Any minute without water I'm dead. Here, i splurge on unhealthy food like chips, coke, LATTE, etc.

NOW I KNOW.

I've come to a conclusion that....

I AM JUST GREEDY.

Though many many people do think that I'm thin and I should eat more, I personally feel I've been overeating. I eat not to satisfy hunger. I eat cause I just want to eat. Imagine, a hour and a half after dinner(which I had seconds), I get hungry. And I eat. 2 hours later, I eat again. TOO MUCH!!!

Anyway, I'd like to thank Michelle for taking care of me while I was feeling a bit unwell. Like, she came to my room to boil water for me, made cereals for me, made sandwich lunch for me, etc. And also Suyan and Yuet for coming by to see me :)

Last weekend,

Saturday, 1st September

I played mixed in the Monash Open and I lost. Haha. It's my fault. My partner's so good he doesn't deserve to lose. I really think I lack experience. What's the point in having the skills when you don't use them properly. Lesson learned. I need to play more games.

After being at the courts for the whole afternoon, I headed to Yuet Whey's place at 8 for steamboat dinner :)

This is Yuet Whey.

The girls.
Jaz, Yuet, Sandhya, Mich, Me, Suyan.


Me, Chiew Ming and Suyan.

All of us with numbers ;)

Then it's cards games/poker time!

Peejame(I'm not sure if that's how u spell it) shuffling the cards.
He's from FRANCE!!

We played so many different card games, and those who lose had to drink white wine, vodka. I'm so lazy to list out all the card games. Haha.

His poker set.

The lovely couple.
*Thanks for having us over, dears! :)

Michelle & I again.

So that explains my Saturday! And on Sunday, woke up for brunch then head to Richmond Street to do a little shopping with Mich, Suyan, Yuet & John!

4 of us waiting for the train.

After shopping, we headed to Hawthorn to have dinner at Suyan's uncle restaurant. It's called PENANG CAFE. Omg, the food there - delicciioouss!!! ~

Sigh... I had my all time favourite:

Hokkien Mee.

Till next time then! =)

I've always had high expectations

of myself

in all that I do.

I don't believe in losing

defeated or beaten

even if I've missed by an inch.

I've had unforgettable moments

of triumph, joy

due to many successes.

But as I grow up

I soon realize

I can't always have it all.

I've learned to accept

that I can't be the best in everything

it's impossible.

God is fair

I'm blessed with so many wonderful things

and I'm grateful.

I may not be the best in everything

but that does not mean

I can't try to give my all in all that I do.

Giving your all

is the same as being the best

it all lies in your heart.

I am accepting it now

embracing each experience I encounter

enjoying, learning.

I may not be the best,

but I will try to be the best that I can be

I know, I can.
