choices made and to be made.

I finally paid and accepted Usyd's offer on my Australian degree, Animal and Veterinary Bioscience. had been doing tons of research and finally decided that it was the right move and a wise decision! wish me luck over there and do come visit me!

went to xixun's projectfirstchance concert yesterday at the zoo. quite ok cos got campus superstar 2 and idol finalist performances. still not too bad. but feel sorry for xixun cos the response was rather bad, only 30+ ppl turned up for the 200 audience concert and the shaw amphitheatre looked so empty... Guess it was the heavy downpour and weird location that caused the flop. fell sick cos i gney gney (stubbornl) wanted to visit all exhibits, so i camwhored everywhere under my umbrella until my cam batt went flat... haha. walked around the zoo since it's been a while since i've been there, and a lot of animals were missing! empty habitats were common and disappointing. saw some new ones like the Australian Outback, Giant Galapogus Tortoise and otters exhibit. i really wanna work there when i graduate, which further confirms my decisions and spurred me on.

ate kuishinbo with mum and sis last mon. so so many varieties! delicately prepared buffet tables everywhere! everything japanese u can think of is there. soba, udon, paper hotpot, curry, fried rice, clam porridge, tepanyaki, steamed and boiled delicacies, fried and grilled prawn, unagi, sushi, sashimi, seafood (including famous hokkaido crabs and scallops), drinks of all kinds, and two full tables of cakes, mochis. tarts, pastries, chocolates, ice cream, eclairs, fondue fountain, fruits palette... and so much more! why do i sound like i'm advertising for them. i should earn some commission! haha. nice but ex if u go at night. try booking in advance so u get seats inside (nearer the food mah...) and they may have limited dishes that are served so many ppl queue to take after an announcement. go in the aft it's around $30, night $40. can try ba.

ok. see ya soon! happy happy dim sum steaming in a pot...

AHM!

yeah, did my best run after quite some time. looks like my training paid off. though this 21km was quite a bother for most; as in even fast frequent marathon runners felt the pain today, it was rather fun for me. at least my legs are not as sore as others, thank God! and i finished below 2hr15min, which is a huge improvement compared to last year's ahm and my disgraceful stan chart marathon. just finished washing my shoes at 1am, cos it raind and the entire padang field was mud and more mud! i'm talking about soil+water, not... if u're thinking about those, sam. haha!

ok, i had my first driving lesson on sat. super nervous but fun! haha. i'm embarassed to say i stalled at least 5 times on the road. i'm sorry, please be patient. but my instructor is nice, more encouraging words than dismissive scoldings.

sat was a total rush for me. i left my pdl in camp so had to go back to get it. then rushed to meet kf and yinghong for the recordings, but major jam on the road... then to my driving lessons, then saw jiaxin at cdc after my lesson (he ended the same time as me and parked behind me.) We had dinner at madjacks, jalan kayu. thought we had so much time since we're already so near camp and it was still early when we got there, so was shocked when i casually checked the time and realised we only had 15mins to rush back, and dessert wasn't even served yet. we gobbled whatever we could and cabbed back. just when u thought u need not rush after rushing and cabbing the whole day from place to place, to just sit down and slowly enjoy a meal, i had to be on the move again. well, at least i accomplished more within a day and it felt fulfilling.

wanted to go aus study fair but realised it was not at suntec but orchard hotel so didn't go cos too tired. went to the travel fair instead. haha... and peninsular plaza, to buy shoes but didn't see wad i was looking for. found and bought them some place near there. nice converse sneakers! =) haha, damn paiseh walking to all the shoe shops with ppl looking at my muddy nb shoes.

rmb: be happy for yourself and those who care about you! till later!

i'm confused.

about human relationships. dunno how to react to ppl anymore. sometimes, u think that u've done nothing wrong but they still haunt u. hope i'm still motivated to be good and kind, to want to live as a better being, and not one that is too practical, materialistic, or selfish. competition kills... so beware when u've decided to be in one. sometimes, u doun't really have a choice. as u've decided to let the matter rest, the opponent continues his backstabbing and worse, with stronger allies. what should i do then? fight back and stand up for my rights? no... i've already retreated from your betrayal, but it still hits me directly. i thought we were friends. why do u have to do this? what have i done? be nice ppl.

at least i'm starting to appreciate true friends around me better now. friends that stood by you and mended your wounds, sometimes even shooting back at them for u...haha. thanks friends...true friends.

having my first driving lesson tmw! exciting. so nervous to drive on the road for the first time. so stupid of me to leave my pdl back in camp. sigh... gotta go back tmw morn to take it. haha. doing a charity recording at yh's place tmw. dunno wad it's about though.

ok. stop emoing ppl. cheer up! it can only get better. see ya soon!

I bought my guitar!

Yes! finally got my guitar... for $255. inclusive of a chord book, guitar bag, picks, digital tuner, strap. acoustic takamine, from peninsular plaza, behind funan mall. thanks ed for your expertise, and continue teaching me k! that justs means that i would have to practice doubly hard since the money is paid. haha.

watched Bad habits and Money no enough 2 this week. bad habits was ok, telling a story about two anoraexic (correct spelling?) people. money no enough was funny yet touching. well, at least it made me tear.

donating blood this sun at tampines. hope i can save more lives while i still can. bloodbank is in need of blood! people please help.

love ya! see ya soon. tata.

Happy National Day! yeah!

Wondering how i'm still using this com though it died. thanks to ys who told me to press on the F8 the moment the intel sign came up till it showed an advanced screen. then load the com using safe mode. but still, it's weird cos everything is so big! dunno how to make it smaller. sigh. i shud go for computer lessons.

watched journey to the centre of the earth on fri with kf. haha. saw some ppl doing something in the seats next to us. haha. jing4 bao4 k. they were both girls. shan't elaborate. the movie was so-so, just as the critics said it was. it's nice but predictable, a good show for children, or those young-at-heart, like me! haha, not typically childish though. ok lah.

that person pricked me again this week, made me kinda sad. i know it shouldn't affect me anymore but how can i control my feelings. it's not anything roast duck did, but rather wad he didn't. still must maintain my composure. hang in there man, ppl who are going through hard times as well, time will heal or at least make u forget. so just wait till the storm's over.

hey zhamusi, hope u're fine as well. see ya soon. doing NDP reception on sun.

Ain't no other man, but...

watched the mummy on fri, tomb of the dragon emperor. ok lah, not that bad but not that fantastic either. i would give 3/5 stars? the effects were quite nice, but the storyline is a little too unrealistic and lame. the ending is abrupt too, i mean, when the army is finally revived, they die again shortly after, so ya...

went to michelle's house on sat for just's surprise bdae party! the best part was the house, or rather the mansion/palace! it was like, woah! i said omg at least 20 times upon exploring different parts of the mansion! it was like in a movie where the antique statues and chandeliers exhibit a european ambience in the 1800s. the grand stairway in the main lobby, like the one in titanic. the dining room, fit for a king's banquet! the ktv room, tv room, gym, pool table, swimming pool, sauna, all interlinked in 4 levels of the hotel by a glass lift in the mansion! even the mahjong table is automated! have u ever seen or played a mahjong game that doesn't require 'washing' of the tiles before each game? ya, the one i saw did everything for u... super rich sia. motivated me to work harder and thus make enough money to build a mansion like this to live in! by then, i'll invite all my friends to come stay k! stayed over at just's place that night.

ok... hope all goes well from now on. bye!
