I thought it is the end..

I thought it is the end of my birthday celebration.. To my surprise, Nurainee, Mignon, Seki and Er li gave me a surpise birthday celebration suddenly. They came with a cake and a row of "paper-drawn candles". Its hilarious. I can't stop laughing when I saw the drawn candles.. I took a video clip of it and how the drawn candles were extinguished when I blow it off..

Will upload it when I have the time.

just came back.

Just came back from the Cradle mountain trip..Thank you guys for those birthday wishes.! That's so sweet of you! =)
Sorry to those guys whom I'm unable to reply to..Its must be that you are neither a starhub nor singtel user, in which I can't reply to. I don't wish incur any extra handphone bills for my father. :p
Well... for those of you asking for my postal address, it is:
Locked bag 1338, Launceston, Tasmania 7250.

As much as you want to give me a surpise. Pls check with me if you are unsure of the quarantine laws in Tasmania. They have strict regulations on what you send here. Hahaha.

Its amazing how uncle Ben had never failed to send me birthday wishes every year.
Uncle Ben is this taxi driver whom I known thru' one of the taxi rides home during my attachment period at Lim Chu Kang during my poly days.
I feel old.. it had been so long so long ago.


Seki was rather creative. He bought a small ice cream tub and lighted a small match stick to it. He presented it during breakfast time and the whole crowd sang along. Er Li was so funny.. .. He missed the sing-along-session and started singing a solo to me in the room. Muahaa. He is such an innocent boy..


The Cradle mountain trip was fun.. Beautiful photos. I got so many photos to share.. I wouldn't be uploading till I have the time to do so.

Taaa.
Happy Birthday Da Gu! haha.

Most ridiculous thing

The most ridiculous thing happen today. I was sending Sarah to the airport and was flagged down by a police car on the highway. I was so nervous and was wondering what I did wrong. I remember putting on seat belt, having my head lights on, driving below 80km/h (speed limit for learners) and looking really decent. Hahaa. Well.. I parked my car to the side and waited for the policeman to arrive. He walked over and I was so nervous that I couldn't even open my door. It was so embarassing. He asked for my driver license and I gave him my student ID. He looked at it and he said he wanted my driving license. Opps.. I gave him the driving license and he did a comparision. He walked back and said " Oooo.. I didn't notice your L plate and was wondering why you drove so slow (I was driving at 75km/hr, cause the speed limit was 80). I quickly re-affirm that I was a learner and was just trying to be safe. He smiled and said " Well done. Mate.. that's good work..Keep it up! " and he left. I thought it was just a lame excuse for him to pick on me.. He would have seen the L plate when he flashed his high beam at me a couple of times.

I think he deserved a L plate too.. L for Lame.

Worst day

Well... many will think that I must have enjoyed myself pretty much during my road trip to Hobart on Sat. The truth is that today turns out to be the worst day of my life in Tassie so far.
We took so long to get to Hobart and to navigate our way to one of the girl's house to pick her. Sarah was driving another car and was following behind my car. Somehow we kept losing her and had to stop to wait for her. By the time, I managed to park my car I was too tired to think and slammed the door with the keys in. YES!! I did exactly that..!!Can you imagine it.. !!! I felt weird for a while and realized that ... arghh. I left my keys inside. It was too late. All the doors were slammed shut and there were no way we could opened the door. Seki felt that he is quite confident of opening the door was a plastic card. We looked around and found no plastic card. He took a metal rod and tore off the plastic rim of my side window. (I wasn't around at the moment) He offered to pay for the damaged and pls tell me how can I accept his offer when he was just trying to help.. Yeah... one of the stall owner came with two metal chisels and told us that we can open it with a metal hanger. I got this metal hanger from a sweet old lady and she was nice enough not to accept any money. We spent close to 2 hours trying to open the door but ended up having full of thick skretches on the side door. I finally decided to call RACT or is it RAST.. can't remember la.. They told me that I need to pay $215 dollars for a 2 year membership fee if I would like to have my car door open. What can I do when that's the only way I know. It took a longer time for me to withdraw the money from the ATM machine then for them to arrive. I paid him the money and grabbed a sausage bun and milkshake and went to meet the guys since it was about time to go.
Had some misunderstanding with Andy (Prev. UTAS student) whom we were supposed to meet at Salamanca market. To cut the long story short. We were suppose to meet up with him at Salamanca. I told him that we will be leaving at 1.30 and he said that he will be there at 1pm. We waited till 1.45 but receive no call from him. In order not to waste any more time, we left for Island market. Basically, he is upset that I didn't have the basic courtesy to call him when we left the place.
To top it up.. I came back and realized that my halfmoon betta was dead...

Well..tml will be a better day. I'm going to church... Cya.. Taa.

I'm free

I am free..... I just finished my last paper today and I am so happy. Will be having a holiday of 3 weeks. I will be driving down to Salamanca market this Sat and will be going to Cradle mountain on the 29th and 30th of June. I will be back in the evening on the 30th.
I just watched Shrek the third today.. I must say its pretty much of a disappointment as compared to Shrek 1 and 2. My favourite part is the one where snow white started singing to attract all the animals and all... Cool sia..
Hahaa..

Random

Tomorrow is the first paper of the semester. How I simply wish that it is the last!! Life had been boring even since exam revision started. I barely move out of the hostel apart from collecting the newspaper. I did went back to Singapore, Past_and_Future quite a number of times during my revision time. All these were possible with my extraordinary talent of Day Dreaming. I am not sure why I am so good at it! Even the dialogue shared with the people were so original. Perhaps it got to do with David Palmer's prophecy of me dreaming big like Joseph. Ahhh... For now.. I think I will just come back to the reality of my exams.

The lady

Thank God for Brent and Thilmi that picked me up and send me back home respectively! Church service was good today. We celebrated Alfie's 60th birthday!! There were plenty of food to eat and made my day by saving me time from preparing lunch. Hahaa.
I got to know the truth behind one of the church member's face. Georgi is one of the church board member and it simply amazes me on what she ever look so gloom. Well.. I understand that different people have different face shape, looks and etc. and God makes people differently. But I am pretty sure that one can make an effort to smile or even twitch an eyebrow to look happier or even different. But Georgi is different! She always hold such a gloomy face and I can't fathom the fact of her being the board member of the church. I must admit that I seldom talk to her and don't get to see her facial expression unless she is on the platform. But nevertheless, I believe that the platform should at least make her conscious of the fact that people are looking at her.
Well.. she shared a testimony today about how she never fail to bring her mother out for mother's day celebration every year. However, she noticed that her mum looks slightly different this year. After the dinner, her mum told her that she will be willing to take her of her grandchildren occasionally. Georgi began to whelmed up in tears as she shared on how her mum used to tell her that she is not sure why she ever gave birth to her (Georgi). These words were sown into her heart ever since childhood. As Georgi grew up and got married, her mother told her that she will never ever take care of her grandchildren and finds it silly for her friends to be taking care of their grandchildren. Georgi continued to pray for her mother despite the fact of being mistreated since young and was glad on how God have changed her mother over the years. Well.. I am glad to understand this lady better today.. :)

Winter

The first day of winter begins today. (Theoritically)
Frost is seen on the grass, making it kinda pretty.
To be honest, I am rather afraid of winter. I can't imagine walking from one place to another. Even with my thick winter clothing, I can still feel my head cramming up and my face numb. My nose and my mouth seem to become rigid so much so that I don't feel like talking. Its the only begining of winter and its still above 10. But look! I'm already suffering from it. Oh my.. I can't imagine how its going to be like for the Cradle Mountain trip in June. No.. I shan't think about it..
What abt exams?? Will my brain be too cold to think by the time I make it to the examination hall? I need to wear a face mask.. Something which burglars wear to conceal their identity. Or should I morph up..??? Into power rangers.. (cause they come hooded, masked..??)What a thought!

I'm having my first paper next week.. I think I am giving myself too much stress. I shan't aim for the High distinction anymore.. Distinction will do or maybe doing well will do.. Keeping up with the standard is hard! Oh Lord. Help me! I am too stress!
