Belated post
____________

Last Friday I invited Monash mates Reagan, Suet Leng, Adrian and Sarah over to my place for a fiery and spicy mini feast :P hehe.. The menu was chicken curry, sambal brinjal and some thai tofu thing...
Anyway before dinner, something hilarious happened. I was busy cooking and forgot about the time.. those people arrived outside my place at 7... they knocked on the door.. unfortunately I didn't hear.. they called me 22 times on my hp but I didn't check hahahaha... so they waited outside the door lolx and had a mini picnic.. Finally at 7.30, I was thinking, they should be here already what. what was taking them so long... than I went outside to check... OMG there were 4 people sitting outside, snacking and having a picnic.. when they saw me, they all said " whoa lao... we thought you too scared ran off already~ " *pengz* LOL I tell you I was laughing there for a good 10 mins.. hahaha.... imagine locking them out for a good half an hour... omg.. anyway ya, pictures:

Shocking discovery

_______________

The Bottom Line

Do not confuse admiration with affection. Be sure to maintain a healthy distance.

In Detail

Hopefully, you've gotten over the urge to commit assault and battery -- because with the kind of conscience you tote around, it wouldn't work for long. You'd have to turn yourself in and apologize. No, you may be fiery, but you know when to call it quits on the anger thing -- and it's time. Besides, it's time to have fun -- and whoever or whatever got in between you and that all-encompassing objective? Buh bye. You've got work to do.

I just happened to chance upon this when I logged in to Friendster. Shock me to death! This thing can never be more accurate man! Nothing can beat this :O Seriously stunned!!! *eyes poppin out*

Virgo and Sagittarius

__________________

The idealistic but impractical Archer can be quite a challenge for the typical Virgo, so be sure you know what you are getting into before casting your lot with a Sagittarian. While the sparks of attraction may fly between you, this relationship can quickly become too hot to handle. The two of you can make a relationship work, but first you must acknowledge some fundamental differences between you. Because Virgo is an Earth Sign and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign, your emotional styles are very diverse. The principle of Fire overwhelming Earth and Earth suffocating Fire is readily demonstrated by the Virgo-Sagittarius relationship! The Archer can be almost ridiculously enthusiastic and idealistic at times, overloading your somewhat milder sensibilities. You tend to remain very even-tempered and practical, frustrating your Sagittarian lover's desire for excitement. Sagittarius has a passion that burns brightly but can die out over the long run, while you have a more subdued flame that tends to burn on forever. You'll need to keep your active Archer interested sexually, or that Sagittarian arrow will soon be aimed elsewhere. However, when you have found a balance, your Sagittarian partner can inspire and motivate you, while you help keep his or her feet on the ground. Since you are both Mutable Signs, communication is important to you. You are both concerned with truth and honesty, and you each have a desire for reaching goals and achieving self-improvement. You are both natural teachers who want to share information that can benefit others, and here is where you may find your strongest common ground. In family, friendships, or business relationships, the two of you need to work together as a team. In romantic relationships, a common goal or vision can be a foundation to build upon. If you can respect each other's unique viewpoint and style of expression, you can help each other to be more effective. In many ways, the two of you are like the ant and the grasshopper. You are unpretentious and prefer a careful, security-oriented approach, but freeliving Sagittarius will throw caution to the winds, even gambling the future on the turn of a coin. Ruled by liberal Jupiter, Sagittarius is expansive and extravagant, while you seek a simple, orderly life. This combination is generally difficult, but can sometimes work when Moon and Ascendant Signs are harmonious. If other placements support your relationship, you'll inspire each other to greater heights. As long as both of you understand and respect your differences - and share absorbing interests in common - you can work towards a very rewarding partnership.

My house :)

________________

Alright! Now that I'm pretty much settled in. I shall give you guys a peek of how my house and room looks like. The living and dining room will have to be put aside for now as it's not completely furnished yet.. (Dining chairs and TV table have yet to come)

I suppose as you can see these are ducks.. but yes unfortunately they're not right outside my house but they're closeby... just in the vicinity. This creek as you can see is Scotchmen's Creek Trail. Don't ask me how it got its name but well... it pretty much runs along a long trail. It's a nice creek; perfect for an evening stroll after dinner... Feed the ducks with rice.. That's what I've been doing.. Unfortunately with the bird flu thing... I better stop for awhile.. "Quack Quack" -----------> Do I hear the ducks protesting???!?!

"Is that Donald??" Ok I know its lame :p

Next up! This is my study room cum guest room :) So my future guests, if you're wondering where you will be putting up in my house, unless you're that ONE guest that gets to share my bed ;) **winks** it'll pretty much be here... Cosy small space :) If you're wondering where the bed frame is, well we're not really intending to get one yet cause we might move to another house so ya...

This is my room... several angles of my room... :) and YES there is a freaking big cupboard... that yan envies so much... ya... i can stuff loads of clothes inside.. but then again with the 4 seasons.. narh I hardly think its enough :P Yes I'm a hopeless shopping whore and you know what?! I'm not even ashamed of it *evil laughs*

Next the master bedroom with ensuite toilet :( I don't get that.... and yes, big cupboard too... same layout just with the extra toilet.

This is my toilet hahaha.... got bathtub lei :)

the other side is a shower

Ok done!!! haha well to be continued until I get the furniture for the rest of the house :) CHEERS!

For You,

Just had to get it off my chest

________________________________

Although I had already blogged today, a sudden surge of emotions came through and I just had to get it off my chest and you're not home.

I'm missing you.... I thought I wouldn't but I am.... Perhaps the last few weeks given me some time and space to sort out my thoughts. My life is changing. Moved into a new environment, experiencing a new phase alone without you, meeting new people and making new friends. Through that, I guess I could have been looking for someone to replace you. I went out with others, things just didn't feel right. Can't deny I was lost. Hints would appear as if God was tryin to tell me something. Songs that would remind me of you played during dinner our favourite movie or thing would appear when I least expected it. I felt fustrated. Despite the chaos, you stood by me, was there for me; waiting just like you always do. Never once did you tell me you've given up on me or didn't care about me and you tolerated my behaviour. Then it came to me.....You are irreplacable. You've moved me I would say, from the bottom of my heart. I reflected upon and realised; you were just like fluffy clouds I could always fall back on if I had a misadventure and hurt myself. You cared and pampered me this way and I felt it. I appreciate it and I thank you for all the wonderful memories we shared through these years. Times we had would be forever to keep. At least for me. We're exact opposites but we complement each other so well I could hardly believe it. I'm glad you fill up the missing gaps to my puzzle. Although I nag that you have an "expired" mind- set I'm happy you are this way. I'm thankful I met you, my antique.

"I love you and you know it"

Thusday March 2nd

_________________

Well finally met up with Ezawanty in Melb Central on Thus after a long awaited 5 years... she's in her second year at Monash doing a degree in Economics.. whoa you need brains for that and also, she still looks as good! After the hugs, our next stop was Max Brenner, the pretty famous chocolate joint. Website just in case you're interested: http://www.maxbrenner.com.au/ . We have one on our tiny island too, at the Esplanade... but I think the prices back home is slightly higher than in Australia. I had a traditional hot chocolate which was kind of like a fondue but erm jus milk inside and you add the chocolate bits slowly... while Eza had the banana ice blended or something...

Following that, we went to Lygon St. which is doubt the "Little Italy" in Melbourne. A whole array of Italian shops selling traditional and good Italian food. The best thing is, most restaurants are reasonably priced. After walking up and down the street for a pretty long time, we finally decided on one small and cosy joint to fill our stomachs. THENNNN... was dessert time.. shared a gelato cause we were simply too full... Lygon St. should try to visit once at least if you're in Melb.

Friday March 3rd

________________

Long day at school today. Made a few more new friends :)

After a whole day of lectures and tutorials, finally left the school and headed for Flinders station to meet Regina and Vasanth, fellow Singaporeans. My new friends too... Vasanth is going back cause he had to settle some business issues and most likely would only come back next year :( well pretty sad la cause I have just met him and he seems like a pretty nice guy. Very humourous@!

Proceeded to Lygon AGAIN... cause he hasn't been there and I thought he should see that part of Melb before going home... Ok, so we took a tram and decided to head to the Thai restaurant for dinner. After we were done with dinner we went back to Flinders and took a stroll along Yarra River while making our way to Crown Casino. WHERE I LOST $20 BUCKS! But its alright la... won the last 2 times I was there :)

Alright, PICTURES :)

My apologies
__________

AH HAH~@! Finally... after much persuasion and pestering from Yan I'm once again into blogging...! ;p sorry for e wait... Well I know you mean well Yan and you want to know what's going on in my life right now.. especially with the 3 hour difference thing, we can't really chat as often as we like.

Life Down Under
___________

Alright to begin with, most would know I'm already in Melbourne and starting a new phase of my life.. Pretty exciting I would say. I'm glad that I am lucky enough to be able to experience this, living alone and such... and I would encourage anyone that has the chance to do so, to do it! It really opens your mind in terms of culture and environment. For me, I realised that there's a big big world out there and being in Singapore, we're really shelthered and provided for that you do not know the harsh reality of life beyond our waters.. hahaha~ well I don't want to rattle on about our ignorance and all... but well, you get my point right?!

Ok, I'm fine in Melb basically. Pretty much got used to the weather, the culture diversity(seriously if you think S'pore is diversed, it's even more here), the food, the travelling distance, living alone and all.. I'm pretty alright~ However my only woe other than the obvious of missing you guys, is the slow pace of life in Aust. Basically everything and I mean EVERYTHING in Melbourne or for a matter of fact in Australia is SLOW. S~L~~O~~~W say it really slowly. MY GOD. Everything including fast food is slow.

Alright! Enough of my rattling.. I better keep some for the next entry! Ciao~

(BTW the pic was taken @ Vibes Cafe, St. Kilda beach, Melb)
