My Getaway. :D

Dying looks on our face

Yes yes comment on our ugly looking faces...especially mine...hahaha...jo and i were too tired from doing any work or studying so we just decided to take a picture to express ourselves. Woke up to a headache this morning but all good now...did not go to church...feel really bad...

Jojo has to study for an exam which is 20 mins!! I'm suppose to be doing some research for a project but i can't seem to find anything so i am blogging instead...how efficient am i...hahhaha

I have alot of updates from friends back home...great to hear that they are all doing fine....people learning driving, dating, finding new jobs, studying, having exams, busy with army or just enjoying life...great to know that they are doing fine...

June is coming...which means i am going back!!Yeah!! Cannot wait to go back...ok people start clearing all your appointments and allocate time with me...hahaha...1st priority is to EAT!!! 2nd is to shop...miss S'pore shopping...shops here close so freaking early...hahaha

Raining...have not rained for like a mth...about time to cool down...

Janice and Jeanne

The "baby" stuck at college

Jojo looking all pathetic when she can't go with us as she gotta study

Yeah! Finished my financial management test today...it was alright..able to pass but won't be able to score...oh well...if i pass will be good enough...don't want to expect too much.

Went to Sunnybank With Janice and Jeanne. Bought tons of asian food and cup noodles...ate dinner and came back. A day well spent! Poor jojo couldn't come cause she gotta study for another mid sem exam on wed. Look how pathetic she was at the main door of college...hahahaha...joking!!

Drank bubble tea...yummy yummy...had 2 cups man...hahaha....

Jojo's dolls that she loves to play with when bored

Dancing in my rm

too much coffee will give you that look

Too stress from studying for mid sem exam

I miss the good old times...back in secondary school and poly days...life seems so different without you peeps in my life here in aussie...

Secndary school: Candice, Jeslyn & Jeanie plus the rest of the GB girls...would always meet after school and find some place to chill and walk...we can go Orchard Road and shop on a school day, watch movies, eat seoul garden like there's no tomorrow...go to ikea and drool over furniture and conveniently walk to queensway to look for shoes and sports stuff...not forgetting the macdonalds there is like our usual hang out...also Great World City...so out of the way but we managed to go there and back...miss the saturdays when we went for CCA, went opposite school to have chicken rice, dessert, char kway teow and more food...miss all of you...miss the times we spent...

Poly: Elicia, Shu Jun, Anilia, Wan Rou, Cynthia, Wynn, all my "sons", also Jinde...we always do things like there is no tomorrow...especially when we have super long breaks in between class...we would go like Tampines Mall and watch movies, walk around, play pool....or just chill in school and have out regular coffee and gossip session, if not we would all be busy with our projects...which i miss too...remembering taking pictures everywhere we go, in the computer lab, lecture theatres, tutorials rooms, biz park..."cutlet one", soccer every friday, bbq, our annual chalet, KTV session, or just shopping and eating man...

I miss all the simple things we did, most importantly i miss the people who are part of my life, you guys made it so hard to leave home...i still think that studying in aussie is like a dream...from Eve's pioint of view...i never thought of myself being away from home and friends and stuyding overseas...but its a good experience...but its times like now where i have like tons of work and mid sem exam and soon end of sem exams that makes me miss home...but i will endure!!!

Ok back to studying now...hope to pass my exam on sat...don't want to ask for much...

Hungry anyone?

Mum liked this tree...

Taken at South Bank

There goes my 1 week break...it was good...mum was here to visit...great to see her...just a few pictures taken during her trip here...anyway she just left...miss her already...seeing her hop into the cab made me cry...i really wanna go home now too...

Really emotional when saw mum leave...thanks mum for coming! Don't worry, i'll be back soon!!! Love ya!

Training is tough i know...but you are a guy so TAHAN!!

Seriously he look kinda bad in the shades...stop acting cool boy!

Hear no evil?

No idea what he is doing...

Ok i promised to put some nice pics to counter those corny ones...haha

How manly...hahaha...you look great!

Yep...just some of the pictures that Jinde sent...commissioning in June, while i'm still here so can't attend his parade and dinner...

Miss the times we spent...laughter we had...crappy jokes we cracked...but its all good...considering what we have now...so i'm happy...

Looking at pictures are kinda different from looking at him personally....when i look at pictures on the wall and here...i kinda feel that i sort of forget how he looks like...the feeling is different...of course i still know how he looks like but it feels weird just by looking at recent pictures instead of looking into his eyes and face...but all is good! June is coming!

Oh well...gotta start mugging this whole week...have 2 assignments due on fri and exam on sat...madness i tell you!

Thanks Jeslyn for your card...yes yes yes you are nice!!! Hahaha...don't have to tell me that i also know...hahaha...

Thank You Yiteng for the card too!! I love the picture inside and i do miss the times when we were kids...playing "masak" and exchanging stickers...if we ever have kids, we shall be neighbours so they can follow our footsteps k...that will be how cool! Start saving money then you can come over and visit me ok...i'll be back in june so MUST meet up k...will go your place and eat...hahaaha...

Receiving mail is so exciting here...miss all my friends so much...keep the mails coming k...will write back when i have time k....after my exam on the 29th...

Nothing much to blog...tired too...so shall stop crapping...bye!

I have a 1 week holiday and my mum's here to visit...really glad that she is here!! Brought her around to shop and eat...now she finally understands where my extra weight came from...haha...

Then i was like, who will ever ask me who i am in Brissie man...then it was Xiu Hua!!!! My primary school classmate and secondary school friend!! OMG!!

Anyway Happy Easter people!! Take care!!!!

I got back 1 of my aassingment today and i got a freaking 2.5 out of 5!!!! What the hell!!!! I know i should not expect much but i did put in effort. The worst thing is, she said we can send her drafts and she can comment on it. I sent her 2 and she did not reply!!!!! What is the world coming to??!?!?!? My group mate sent in her drafts and she said that the lecturer actually gave her alot of feedback, telling her what and not to include...and my group mate got 4 out of 5!!! I'm happy for her but its not fair for me!!!

After dinner, they guys played Counter Strike...then sat by the riverside for a chat...came out to be too boring and went to Mercury Club...didn't wanted to go at first cause i did not bring my passport...oskar had no ID on him and he was wearing slippers...so when we got there they let us in where i used my diver's license....cool!

In the process of making truffles...how serious can they look man

Stoning...waiting for the chefs to finish

While waiting for the truffles Janice and i got bored...hahaah she hugged me...awww...she look like a baby...

Jessie looks like a witch man...hahaha

The outcome of their hardwork

These ladies came to my room and we had a choc truffle night...they used like the whole big bottle of nutella, 3 to 4 packets of biscuits and a big bar of chocolate to make the truffles. As you can see from Jessie's pic, we were eating it even before it was done....hahaha

The outcome looks yucky but its kinda yummy...thanks Jo and Jessie!!! Btw, they made a huge mess in my room...hahaha but it was fun!

My tutor did it again!!! She pronounced wrongly again....called me "Alien Tay" in class...dman it! What is wrong man!!!

Janice's Blog....go have a look about her lastest post....i'm just too tired to type about it...hahaha

At 6am this morning we had our fire drill!!! When i heard the sound, i thought it was some spastic machine being driven past the college, but its the fire alarm! We all got to get out of our rooms asap but definitely no one will do that cause its 6 in the morning...everyone is practically stoning! Its so hot today...even if there is a fire, the 1st place to start will be my hair...the sun is gonna burn it man...freaking hot! We all got out of our rooms, gathered together....people in their PJs and messy hair....its terrible man! I am so tired now and i have a full day ahead...someone please kill me!

Its tuesday, meaning theres formal dinner again...gotta put on my Harry Potter Cloak...-_-

This is my whiteboard on my door...as you can see its fully utilised...hahaha...the finger is drawn by Joanne...on April fool's Day....not forgetting the Alien is drawn by Janice...my tutor pronounced my name as "Alien Tay" instead of Aileen...Yep so thats where it all came about...

Hai....this is going to ruin my reputation but i don't care...go ahead and laugh at me k...

Went for my shower n brought in my shorts n t-shirt for bed. After showering, i opened the shower screen and realised i did not bring my towel with me into the bathroom!!! I did not want to wear my clothes cause i did not want to get it wet, so i opened the bathroom door, checking whether my neighbour's door is open, check whether anyone walking along the corridoor and i hurriedly ran to my room, which is just 3 steps away...hahaha...luckily no one saw!

Don't think my room is very far away from the bathroom...let me explain....from the corridooe, you open the door and you will see 3 doors, which is the bathroom in the middle, my neighbour's room on the left and mine on the right. So no one saw me running out dripping wet and naked...hahaha....so humiliating!!!

Yes yes go ahead and laugh....hahaha i laugh at myself too....

Oh oh...there was this time, where i locked myself out of my room, wrapped in a towel...hahaha so i had to run to Joann's room asking her to lend me her clothes, then i was able to get the night porter to open my door for me...

yep and in total i locked myself out of my room twice since i came...hahaha
