Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look i can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is a fade,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh.,..
Your love,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

such a cute song.
i miss you.
<3

finally, a holiday for me!!!
i thought since i haven't been away from Sydney since march'06

so, after a lot of dramas and thinking and planning and negotiating, i have decided to pack my bags and go for a 3days 2 nights ski trip with terence and his friends.

it was so much fun!
minus the horrible journey that took 10 hrs to get there. and 7 hrs back.
minus 3 macdonalds meals in 3 days. UGH.
minus the fact that it was expensive and the idiotic tour guide wanted extra $15 tips from each of us!
minus the fact that the toilet was smelly and small and the walls were damn icky and the water heater was a bit crazy.

last Friday night, we left Sydney by bus. There was an accident which blocked the whole road for a few hours. As a result of our massive need to pee, all the girls went to one corner of the road, and all the guys went to another. We had to squad down to pee while the other girls stood in rows facing the road so that the people in the cars wouldn't be able to see our naked asses. I was one of those people. It was gross.

We went to Perisher Blue on Saturday and Thredbo on Sunday. It was cool. After 2 hours of ski lessons and lunch, all of us (minus Susan and Daniel) could ride the J-bar to the peak and ski/snowboard down. It was so much fun (but scary) !!! We were all so proud of ourselves.




sylvia and i. she planned the whole thing! :)


so tired. need to rest!




the amazing view from the peak!


we went up there!


sylvia, calvin and eric






thredbo! it was so so freaking cold!!! my hands were freezing although i had very thick gloves and my toes were frozen although i wore shoes!

i don't have that many pics. i'm too darn lazy to photoshop them properly and i think there's something wrong with the quality of the pics. i need a new camera! :(
more pics cmg out soon (by the end of the week, hopefully)!!!

skiing was lovely!
hopefully, we'll be able to drive there next year!

as usual, it was because we were really late again.
i knew that becks would be late so i took my own sweet time to get ready.
and rushed when he arrived. LATE. but he was ready a lot earlier than i was.
rush. rush. rush.
i didnt realise that i forgot to bring the camera till i arrived...
*cries*

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'"


thank you
for being 'that' guy.
i am truly blessed to have someone like u
:)

happy 16th months.

Your Birthdate: September 30

You have the type of personality that people either love or hate.
You're opinionated, dramatic, intense, and very outspoken.
And some people can't get enough of you - they're totally addicted.
Others, well, they wish you were a little more reserved.

Your strength: Your flair

Your weakness: If you think it, you say it

Your power color: Scarlet red

Your power symbol: Inverted triangle

Your power month: March
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?


people who think that i should be MORE reserved:

hmmm.. that should be shing and raymond, my housemates. They've heard me jump and skip in the house, sing in the shower and laugh really REALLY loudly. I wonder if they secretly wish that i won't live with them next year.

i think Eugene thinks that too. we were cooking dinner once when i had my period and i told him that it was flowing. he was like, " OMG". it was funny.

haha. maybe this THING is right.

i was coming home from church last saturday.
we left Paramatta station and changed trains at Redfern station to get to McDonaldtown, to walk home.
when we reached Redfern station and looked at the travel timetables, we realized that the next train would arrive in about 30 minutes.
It was freakishly cold, there was nothing at the train station and we were both bored to death.

as we walked down the stairs to the platform, we invented this game:
you start at the end of the stairs,
you play the rock-scissors-paper game,
the winner gets to go down one step-
the loser stays.
however if both parties come out with the same combination,
both have to go up a step.

it was funny, really. i don't know whether it was the weather, the company or just because we were really plain bored. we didn't manage to reach down the flight of stairs, and ended the game just as the train was about to leave. in the end, we both had a lot of fun and i don't drag waiting for trains that much coz i know that i will be making a fool out of myself, once again with him.

it's the little little things, things like these, that really matters the most.
and it's these little little things, things that makes me fall for him again and again...

my mirror image

my hsemate came home one day and told me that she saw someone that really REALLY looked like me, she waved at her but was really embarassed to realize that it wasn't me.

i met her friend's friend who later said that she saw me at campos coffee once and she thought that i was her, until she looked really closely and realized that it was me.

my other hsemate agreed and they got a WHOLE lot of people to agree that i look like her. i do look alike, i thought. but i refused to believe that there can be anyone out there that looks really REALLY like me.

until today.

i was 'OFFICIALLY' introduced to her by a friend.
do we look alike?
you be the judge.


this is my new found friend, Caroline. She's from PJ, Malaysia.
my face is taken from a HORRIBLE angle & my face is more in front.
hence, i look flat-face and like crap.


Qi Sheng and i at Uni after my lectures.

----------------------------------------------

mr. pig came back on sunday morning.
we had sashimi and FRESH prawns and oysters at the fish market with some friends on Sunday.
Seriously.
It was SO. DAMN. delightful. :)
i went to his place yesterday to help him pack up. soddof.

"i helped him pack up" i told shing today at dinner today
"WHAO. you're such a good girlfriend" she said. I think she was exaggerating.
"hehe. Of course... But then I don't think I did much. Coz I was tired and everything was so heavy and stuff..."
"HAHA. I expected that"
-_- "

on a very unrelated note, Eugene finally got his wish of clubbing at Oxford Street.
A few of us went to a few clubs and finally settled in a very very long queue last Friday night.
Stupidly, when we finally entered the club, we had to pay 20 dollars entrance fee (coz it was pretty late) and the music kinda SUCKED. for me, at least.
:(
i missed mr. pig so much i didn't enjoy myself at all that night, but wished that we were in my room, curled up under the sheets watching a movie from the laptop instead of him being far far away.

a stupid fella was hitting on me in the bus last week. Can you actually believe it? I didn't even realize it until I came out of the bus and Mr. Pig asked me what the fella asked me and what he was talking to me about. I was so so tired and so so blur I didn't even know. I am so blur about these things. even when mr. pig first asked me out on a dinner/date, i thought it was just dinner. with a friend. until maybe, like the day before/date itself.
