Finally done and over with the Grade 5 piano theory.Glad that I stayed till the last 10 minutes to recheck mine work over again,as there was this part which was so tricky!!!So many flats,naturals and sharps that I needed to include.Its pretty much a fact that I would pass already,but I really really wanna get a distinction!The studying of the Italian/German terms yday were such a disappointment,as I totally forgot the meanings when I was doing the piano exam.
But its over!!!! :)
So now,gotta concentrate on:
reports,tutorials,lectures and projects.7 things to do this weekend.Oh gosh!Why is it that it seems like so many weeks have started since school reopened??But have to constantly remind myself that its only week 2.
:(
Sha la la,sorry if I haven been contacting u yah??Cause really busy!!!Pretty much hoping that we can meet like during one of the weekdays,but it seems pretty impossible! :((( Contact me if you can make it on next Friday though!!! :)
TGIF!!!!!!Pretty happy that school consisted of only 2 hours only,but its a total waste of time for me to head to school(which by the way,takes around 1 hours plus), and spend 2 hours in school only.
Gotta revise mine piano stuff later again,like all those Italian/German terms,and what instruments are there in the brass/strings/woodwind and their properties.Distinction pls!Mozat,Handel and Beethoven!Praying that your can help me! :)
I also think after this theory,I wont ever need to take theory again,unless I am considering of being a piano teacher.SO NO MORE THEORY!YEAH!!!
And thinking about today,which was quite a fuilfilling day,as everything managed to just fall in place. :)))) Hoping that everything would be better after today! :))))
Wish me luck for tmr,and god bless me! :)
What should I blog about??
*thinks*
I am so drained out from school!!!!:(
Can't wait for ridz wedding next sunday!! :)
And also,I badly need to save $$$!!!Totally feel like putting mine card at home!!!
So,to all my poly friends,pls try to restrict me from spending money using my card.
Trying mine best to not spend until 5th nov,which is when the tuition money will come in.
:)
Wish me luck to saving money and doing my assignments well! :)
My current favourite phrase!See the top part and you will see this phrase yet again,at my favourite quotes. :)When I see this quote,I start to think about the moments which took my breath away.I guess its when I started working at pharmacy,and knowing so many fun and interesting ppl.How the work life is really like.
Or maybe when I first started in poly,and missed Nisa they all so badly.
Or the most recent, when I went over to Australia,and realised I love the culture there.
:)
Thinking about it,there were quite a lot of moments that actually took mine breath away,but I actually didn't realise and appreciate it.
And something that won't really take mine breath away is school. :( There's school as usual tmr,and the workload is really piling me down.Not excluding piano theory (as I have a piano theory exam this coming Saturday), and just so many journal papers for me to read through,and not forgetting projs!!!! :(
One fine day,I was chatting with Sumi on MSN,and she started telling me that Life is like a circle,except this sem,the circle is bigger. :(
To all mine friends though,I really hope that we can survive this sem together!!!So cheer up! :)
I honestly feel that mine blog is getting more and more boring day by day/week by week.The main things that I blog about,school,school and more school. :((((
Can't wait for some exciting events like maybe celebration of Fanah's and Jenn's bday!!! :)
CHEER MYSELF UP! :)
The ultimate word is Sincerity.
Knowing how a person actually treats you,how their actions are what they are and what life is partly about.
Sincerity.
Is it what you have?Should I trust you?
I guess only god knows,and I shall take it one step at a time.
HAPPIER NW!SO I SHALL BLOG.
:)
1.Met up with Sha la la today,and it was a last minute plan! :)
2.Went to try the kebabs from Banquet,but still felt that Australia's Alibaba has still the best kebabs.
3.Headed down to different shops,hint hint sha la la!
4.Went to Starbucks also,and ordered mine usual,Green Tea Frapp!!! :)
5.Chatted about different things,from relationships to school work.
6.I love this kind of meets-up!!! :)
7.Watching Moonlight Resonance,which I feel the relationship between Ah Ho,Yu Suqiu and Zhixin is JUST SO...irritating.Zhi Xin keeps on changing his mind!!!! :( If love is so difficult,I think they can give up in finding their true love already!!!
8.Otomen''s next episode is out!!!!!!YEAH! :) Last episode would be downloaded next Friday though! :(
9.Gotta do research for loads of stuff for different modules. :(
Although I complain a lot,talk a lot,think a lot,eat a lot,sleep a lot,life still goes on.So we should all try our best! :)
4.I miss chatting + slacking with Sha la la at Starbucks,and observing ppl while they walk past! :(
5.Humans are complex characters.We think this way,but we do things another way.
6.I once heard that if God gives you something,he will naturally take away something from you.
7.This blogpost sounds so emo!I am feeling emo right now,as waiting for mine hair to dry,before I go sleep.I really need sleep badly!!! :(
8.I really really need a dose of Xin Wang's papaya soup!Minus away the papaya,corn and chicken chop!
9.I also think its time for me to actually get fit!Getting fit by the way,is another way of saying losing weight.I wanna learn kickboxing,but no $$! :(
10.I feel like playing soccer too,but my legs do not have any sense of direction to where I am going to kick the ball.LOL.And no time too! :(
11.See how school makes me feel so suffocated and no personal time! :(
Would update when I am feeling happier.I need to watch the Otomen show to make me feel happier!And stop thinking about stupid things.
AM I THINKING TOO FAR OFF TO THE FUTURE??
Someone randomly said that I think too far off.
I know mine thinking might be pretty far off,but I always feel that its my character to plan far ahead.
And I really feel that thinking about the future can make one feel motivated to study.With no dreams,aspirations,how does life carry on??
But what comes your way comes your way.So I shall take it one step at a time.Projs,reports,assignments=one step at a time. :)
How was your 1st day of school???
When I think about the 1st day of school,it kinda reminded me of Taylor Swift's song,Fifteen.
"Take a deep breath and you walk through the doors,it's the morning of your very first day."
But wasn't feeling really that good about school,as I was honestly tired,due to the nightmare the previous night.
I guessed nobody observed it as well as mine bro did.LOL.
And I have suddenly feel so motivated to actually start to do mindmaps for the 1st lecture!!!LOL.Maybe I caught the chiong-ness virus from mine elder sis???
:)
And I really can't wait for SG Idol this Wednesday!!!
"I'm yours,Fall for you,Hero" will be sung!!!Almost all my favourite songs! :)
The only missing element is..."COLLIDE!"
:)
School holidays are going to end in around 12 hours time.Feeling pretty sian about it,as I know it would be yet another sem whereby I would spend mine time mostly in school doing projs and studying.
No more sleeping till around 11+ and feeling shiok about it.
No more slacking on the bed,and turning and tossing till I feel so tired,that I fell asleep.
No more going out with Nisa,Jenn,Pearl,Haz,CH,Fanah and Lali till the next time,unless its so easy to plan.But we will most probably meet up on Fanah's bday celebration.
No more watching of TV and online dramas till my eyes are kinda feeling the radiation.
No more blogging that much,as mine life would be pretty ...
And on Saturday,which was yday,we(Nisa,Jenn,Pearl and me) watched this:
In the 3d version.
This is WAY much better than "500 days of summer"!Its really yummy,and mine favourite scene,would be definitely when knowing that Flinch had gained recognition upon his invention.I guess I know how he feels,like when you feel down,and suddenly you succeeded and see that people are recognising your talent,you will feel proud of yourself!
And the next favourite scene would be the ice-cream scene! :) The emotional speech between the policeman and his son! :)
Its quite comical actually,but some parts were pretty touching! :)
While I was watching show one day,I realised sth that is quite true.A person who enjoys studying does not do as well as the person who like to study.
P.S.Lets pray and hope that we can really meet up soon for mine sec sch friends!!! :))))))))))))
Last weekday before the war starts!Supposed to head out to Iluma to watch 500 days of summer/Cloudy with a chance of meatballs with Sha la la and Fanah,but was really damn tired.Sorry for deciding last min that I will be staying at home!!!
But end up...Sha la la came to mine house,and we made a total wrong choice.We watched the movie 500 days of summer,and totally regretted it.
But luckily we made the right choice of watching it at home,instead of in the movie theater (otherwise we would be wasting a lot of $$).
Is it me or do I just feel that this movie is so crappy??Girl meets boy,boy feels sad that girl decides to break off.
But I just don't feel how the girl is feeling.She is so stupid!She was the one who said she don't want to start a relationship,but why does she suddenly like approach the guy,make him fall in love with her and all??That would be toying with the guy's feelings.
And why would she suddenly agree to marry a guy when she said she don't want to settle down??I kinda feel sorry for the guy in this movie though.
Argh!This movie is crap.
Okay,so I have been:
1.Slacking at home,
2.Doing my piano theory,
3.Eating steamboat with CKC,JR and Jessie.
4.Sleeping till real late!!! :)
5.And eating.
So lets spend the rest of our holidays before the actual war starts! :)
I am really damn happy right nw!!!As I received a super long email from UQ,telling me about the requirements and what i can do if I don't get accepted.
It makes me feel like stopping everything I am doing right now,and just fly over to Brisbane!!!But somehow I felt a little weird after receiving their email,as I got some huge feeling,6th sense which you might call it,that I will get in RMIT instead.
But approximately 2 more years for me to decide exactly what I want,but for now,its either UQ/RMIT. :)
LAST DAY-THE BIG 9TH
Finally,I am blogging about the last day!!!YEAH! :) After this entry,I might not blog so often,as maybe I will have nothing much to blog about??But will try mine best to blog as much as possible,since its still the holidays.But when school reopens,I think mine blog would be pretty dead.
When school reopens,I might try to just complete all the reports that I am supposed to do within a day,like maybe on Friday,and Saturday,Sunday would be spent with my lovely lecture notes.And have decided to stay in school like maybe on Wednesday,just to revise the work.
No choice,have to pia!!!!Have to control that relaxation will take place on next March!!!
Back to main topic,the last day.
So on the last day,we went back to Queen Victoria market,as we wanted to get more dips!But if you actually followed the long adventures of mine Aussie trip,you will realise that our dips was forced to be thrown away! :(
Never mind,at least we learn about our lesson.Lets pray that Er Jie manage to get some dips back,when she is in Melb!
So the happiest thing about markets is to eat different food from different cultures,so of course we ate sth that is rarely found in Singapore:
Churros.Churros,also known as Spanish Donuts,is normally mixed with sugar/chocolate.Its pretty yummy,and its like donuts,as it is deep-fried!And the next best part about markets is that you can see so many talented artists around!!!Just look at this:
The main focus by the way,is right in the centre!That of course,is the man himself,Federer!!!WOO~~~
The extreme right picture is a famous painting:A Girl With A Pearl Earring.After buying everything that we wanted to buy from the markets,Er Jie wanted to treat us to this Italian restaurant.
And so...we walked past:
RMIT's courtyard,which is just beside the....
Melbourne's Old Gaol.Gaol,according to YRY(If she aren't wrong) is the old prison.And when I did research on RMIT's Food Science Program in SG,the amazing thing that I found out was that their Science courses are just beside the Gaol.
Isn't this what you call :So near yet so far??
And so...we continued walking till we reached this lovely park.
There was a sweet Australian guy who helped us took this photo! :)And since the weather was quite cold,and YRY was talking about this nice hot chocolate drink from this cafe(which I totally forgotten the name,I remember sth black),we decided to just head in and drink some hot chocolate!!!
And after drinking the hot chocolate,we decided that..its time to go to the Italian restaurant that YRY recommended.
A real Ferrari car!!!
And this is my favourite pasta:Alio Oilo.Apparently,in SG,it is known as Aglio Olio,but seeing on how Italians actually call it Alio Olio,I insist that Aglio Olio is wrong!!!And the taste of is totally different.In SG,Aglio Olio is mainly focused on garlic,but Alio Olio in Aust is mainly focused on the mixture and garlic is not really being focused upon.
And the things that we ordered.Risotto,which is really yummy!My favourite Italian dish right now.Pizza and Alio Olio!I was so full that upon boarding the plane back to SG,I totally couldnt eat anything.
And the last photo at Melb's airport,before YRY head back to the domestic aiport,while mum and I headed back to the international airport.
2 more mths,and YRY would be back already!!! :)
And so...
that completes the end of mine Aussie trip!Of course,I didnt blog about some things,like the trip to see the Koala,Kangaroo,Dingho,Tamazian Devils and all.But I totally forgotten about that!!hahaha. :)
Would update about the last day at Aussie land tmr.
:)
Went for a fabulous dinner at Xin Wang!Which I treated mine parents!Papaya soup was great,but I gave away all my ingreds till only the egg and noodles were left.
And the day ended with us going to visit my dearest cousin,Charys! :)
Followed by ice cream that mine sis treated us!
Overall,a yummy experience that I don't regret eating!!! :)
Now that I have added so many photos in my blog,I somehow feel that a blog is quite boring w/o photos!MUAHHAHAHA!So I might change the format of mine blog afterall! :)
FINALLY HAD AN OUTING WITH CLIQUES AFTER SOOOOOOOOOO LONGGGG!!!
Has been really a long time since I last met them,but I guess none of them have changed much at all!!!Kinda glad that everything is still pretty much the same.
Makes me feel that although many of us have headed for different polys,our friendship still remains strong!
7 yrs and counting!Lets pray that our friendship can exceed the 10 yrs range,20 yrs,30 yrs and so on.
:)
Your might be bored over my Aussie travels,but the blogpost is just to remind myself on what I actually did in Australia.So bear with me,and if you are not really interested,just click the 'x' button! :)
DAY 8
I think I actually lost count of the days I spent in Australia,as I counted and it seems that I only spent 9 days in Australia,but it seems that I still have a whole chunk of things to blog about!!
Before this day,Er Jie did her research and knew that there was a buffet,thus,deciding to treat Mum and I!
The best thing I like about Australia is that its pretty quite convenient!There are mainly 4/5 types of different transport:the car,the bus,the tram,the taxi and the train.
To make things even more convenient for travellers,there is this shuttle tram service,also known as Free City Shuttle,where it can travel from our hotel right through the city.
So,this is happy us,that we found another new transport and its free,convenient,w/o the use of walking in the cold weather. :)
To get to the hotel place where we can have our buffet,we must firstly get to Flinders Street!Flinders street station has the nicest station that I ever seen!Its just so vintage and nice!Its more like Singapore's Chinatown??Although old,but still have its unique charm.
Flinders also has the best buildings ever!It houses St Paul's Cathedral,a well-known church!
And we walked...and walked...and walked.Till we reached the hotel! :)
This hotel was just fabulous!!! :) It had nice instrumental music,which sounded as if a real live band is playing and everything,the design and all was just magnificant! :)
Although it can't be seen that clearly,the top was all full of diamonds,which shown how this hotel is so extravagant!!! :)
And my favourite part of the buffet?
Desserts of course!The nicest dessert that was my favourite is the green one,with the cream on top.Pistachio! :)
The apple crumble didnt taste as well as expected though!I love apple crumble,but this time,it was disappointing.
And we were too full that we decided that we had no more empty stomach for food,so why nt head down to the city again,and buy soup ingredients to cook in our lovely apartment.
And so....
we went to the city's supermarket again.This photo is actually part of Melb's city plaza!Just so great to see a shopping centre that is full of such nice buildings!! :)
And so..
Day 9 continues when I am free.Tmr would be packing,packing and more packing.Time to be clean RF!!! :)
Being so bored and all,I shall blog about 10 random facts that I betcha you didn't know abt me!!! :)
1.I don't ever eat papaya.Due to mine kindegarten story about me being forced to eat papaya,which resulted in me not eating papaya ever again!!!But I love Xin Wang's papaya soup! :)
2.I hate ppl who don't ever reply to me at all.Be it messages,emails,msn chats.Like as if you don't have the mood to talk,and I must be the first one to approach.Hate that kind of feeling,but that would change this sem I think.Don't you actually feel that its pretty rude??
3.I don't like to eat bitter gourd,pineapple and anything that I think is yellow.Weird I guess??
4.I love eating a lot.My favourite restaurants are,Xin Wang,Sakae and Sushi Tei.
5.I absolutely hate fried food.But sometimes have the urge to eat it,so no choice la.
6.I totally don't put make up at all.No need for it and no use for it.Maybe I will only use it during the poly graduation?
7.I hate it when girls think that they are pretty and are so haolian over it.Get a life pls,but before that,look in the mirror first!!!
8.I love listening to songs that either have meaning,have nice tunes or just sounds great!The song that I think apply are:Taylor Swift songs,or songs that are from the movie,My Sister Keeper.
9.This one,I bet that none of your knw!!!I like looking at guys who are wearing uniforms,not normal uniforms,but either the Army,Air Force or Navy uniforms.But depends on how good they look in it.I just find it so...man??LOL.
10.But I think guys with the personality and character are more important,compared to guys with good looks. :)
Nth else,and back to being so sian. :(
Just opposite the bed,is the small kitchen and the TV.
And just beside the bed,is the toilet.
In the Queen Victoria markets,which sells everything from clothes to belts to shoes to fresh produce to churros to fruits and to cakes!!!
I already miss the Queen Victoria market!!!
The best thing about Aussie markets,is that we can buy loads of dips and apply it on breads and everything nice,and it tastes really yummy!!!Sadly,we bought dips,but forgot that it is semi-liquid,and during the inspection of our bags on the way to SG,the dips were forced to be thrown away!No more yummy lunch for me!!! :(
I love how Melb's interior design of the shopping centre can be like that!!Its like so dark + modern + stylish!!! :)
See,this is what I meant!!!Full of nice buildings,and nice culture!!!
And so we decided,that to make full use of our nice kitchen,we decided to cook for dinner!!!
Nice sun-dried tomatoes + avocado + chicken.
Yummy udon!!!
It seems like the more I blog about Australia,the more I question myself.
About whether me coming back to Singapore is right.
:(
Its not that I wanna go away from SG as soon as possible,but I really hate the pressure and all. :(
But never mind,a few more yrs,and I might be gone after that!!! :)
Me seeming quite emo right?!Its such an excellent shot for being emo!!! :)
These picture did nt show all the flags at all,there were another row of flags at the other side.The weather is deceiving!!!Although it seems sunny,it was freaking cold!!And realise that my jacket that I wore on the outside is all the same??Thats cause I have only one reliable cold jacket I feel! :)
Black mountain!
But one thing to note though:
DAY 4
On every Sunday,Aussies have this tradition which is called Sunday markets,whereby they sell pratically all the good food,fishes and plants.And I heard from mine sister that it is like a family thing,whereby if I need something from the market,I would write down on the notepad that is glued to the fridge,and once the list is long,the whole family heads down to the Sunday markets.
The picture showed that apparently,mine mum is SO cold!But the weather was really damn freaking cold!!!I was actually quite reluctant to take this photo as it was in the open,and I either wanted to head back to the car,or just go right in!!! :)
And I think that it was either this day or what that we headed to the DFOs( Direct Factory Outlets), to shop shop.Everything there is way much cheaper,as compared to the normal retail shops that is outside.It was lovely,as it was safer to be indoors than outdoors. :)
And today,we (half of the homies,Jessie,Sumi and me) baked at my house!!! :) Photos to be up soon,maybe to tell the whole process,but overall,it was a nice try for us,as we are first time bakers!!!
:)
And tmr would be busy with tuition again.Sometimes I really really hate the feeling of dreading something that I am lazy to do!!!! :(
But I just have to think that its just another 3 more lessons,and I will just control!!!!
Pretty much motivated after hearing someone telling me something about studies.Thanks loads!!!! :)
After heading to the Floriade,the next day we went to Civic(the main shopping mall in Canberra),and head on to the top of the smallest mountain.
Apparently,I didnt really care about whether my clothes colour do match actually or what,as I was feeling damn cold!!! :) So pardon me for mine weird fashion sense!!! :)
And this is the first day I ate Kebabs.DAMN SHIOK!!! :)
Apparently,a lot of ppl are saying that its easy to recognise me,as I am much taller than mine second sis.hhahaa. :)
My sister was saying that its a trend that the younger sisters are way much taller than the older sisters.
And on the 4th day,we went to another mountain,which is much taller than the first one.And I remembered that on either the 3rd or 4th day,we actually went to a Chinese shop and a seafood shop to eat.The memories are slowly catching up!! :)
Updates soon for the other days.I guess nobody is reading anyway.LOL.
This is actually part of the flowers only.More to come though!!!
The pictures dont do any justice though!The flowers are WAY so much nicer!And my favourite flower:daisy!Nice and sweet! :)
3rd day will be posted till I am not so lazy! :)
