Easter break

The much needed break is finally here. Apart from spending the past few days at home, nevertheless, it was indeed enjoyable. Spent a whole chunk of my time *points above* , watched some movies that I totally missed out on due to my busy lifestyle and of course SLEEP!

The next few days will be pretty darn pack with my schedule all filled up from thurs - sat.
Thurs - group discussion and dinner with girl friend from Canberra *giggles in delight*
Fri - Grocery shopping and preparation for Sat plus dinner with a friend
Sat - Housewarming

8 months to date

Frustrated, upset, disappointed are only some of the words that can be used to describe my feelings at the moment... Failing one twice or thrice is fine ... But four times in 3 months? This is just way too much for me to handle...

I did not fail a test or exam btw but suck big time when it comes to baking.

is it that hard to master the skill? Grrrr.... Annoyed...


Don't be deceived by the pictures below... it may look pretty and all but the taste is horrible.


By that, I mean the sponge cake. All other stuff are alright but just the sponge cake. I failed miserably for four times trying to master the technique but yet the outcome remains the same. The chewy rubbery texture that refuse to budge. The taste is fine but it's the texture thats' got me so worked up.

Yilee!!! I need your HELP !!! Just spare 1 hour of your precious time to teach me PLZ !!! I'll make u newyork cheesecake in return.

And did I mention I really dislike the fact that all of my close friends are in KL and I am the only one stuck in Aus? I really need those chit chat sessions that can go on for hours and their ears for all my miscellaneous and never ending ranting of mine. I think they are the only ones that can ever put up with me. They understand me well enough to say the exact words I need to hear.

Huge improvement in my mood after having a really nice dream on sunday night BUT don't ask me what was it about for I can't even recall a single detail about it. Nevertheless, I woke up in a good form.

Plus, from my previous post, I've been keeping in touch with my senior and our chats are no ordinary ones because a simple sentence from her reply can really make my day

Quoted exactly
"and no, you are not the first one nor the last. they only said good things about you. you were one of the best vt around.. and some said that they prefer you over some new aa2:) "

Good to know that my presence was felt XD

SO much so that one of my friends who just started working there told me another senior I worked with praised me for being one of the most efficient VT's around. It kinda made all my effort worthwhile.

P/s Penguin... it's the one i told u about ... hehehe.

A clearly overjoyed me then decided to cook dinner for my hsmates tmr night...

Roti Canai and curry chicken .... yummmm !!!

Happy me is off to bed now...

Why bother?

there is a limit as to how much i am capable of tolerating

The reason why I am still holding it in and acting like everything is perfectly fine as it is
is because
I've been in touch with 2 ladies who knows a great deal about me
and
understands them all
but the amazing part is that the distance between me and them
is
6357 km

Even though they are as busy as a bee
there is always a simple email/ FB msg
asking how are u?
or just simply updating me with their life
sitting there waiting for me to reply


Another week till Easter
which means
it's time to have fun with a friend of mine coming all the way from Canberra
Too excited for words at the moment
Finally something enjoyable to look forward to during easter
XD

Retail therapy

A dangerous habit of mine .....

Once I am emo or visibly upset, this is what I generally do

First and foremost -----> pls refer to previous post
Second ------> The following

Burberry perfume which cost $119 .

Liquid eyeliner

Ipod dock (it was on sale k? reduced from $79 to $29)

All that in 1.5 hours which in total cost me $165

One things for sure, homesick-ness is definitely slowly creeping in and it won't be long before I start crying myself to sleep :) However, come to think of it, the chances of me doing so are quite slim without going unnoticed by roomie.

Someone is busy studying at the moment for her exam so less someone to talk to. We'll just have to postpone it till your exam is over XD

It's just a simple case of going all the way back to first year of uni which also prompted my decision not to stay here after I graduate.

My horrendous first week here + July 2008 (the worse month eva)

Emo-ness = ???

Hop over to my FB album for more muffin-licious photos. Uploading photos on blogspot can be quite troublesome.Tiramisu... U're up next !

have u ever felt like u don't really have anyone who really understands u even though u're surrounded by good friends?

which is why I am exceptionally attached to my family (rather not dwell on this matter)

AND

Generally I am less frustrated whenever I am back home even though I am overloaded with stressful activities

I had a really bad headache last night and consumed 4 Panadols in total in less that 4 hours. It was that bad!

Even this morning when I woke up late after making a tough decision to miss one of my tute since my headache lingered around for quite a bit. And therefore, I forgot to take out the trash as promised before going for class.
However, right after i returned home, as i slipped the house keys into the front pocket of my denim skirt and rolled up my sleeves to prepare to take out the trash, only to step on the trash can to reveal an EMPTY can. *sigh....* I really need to start doing something productive in the house and not be so forgetful so many times in a day. It is a sign that I am ageing.

Upcoming event

I probably should be sleeping right now since I have a class at 10am tmr morning which means I have to get up at 8.30am followed by another class at 3.15pm plus a dinner session with some college mates. *sigh....*

Just a quick update


Housewarming session during easter COMING SOON! It's gonna be really fun ! =)

M2 gang + the girls + food + entertainment = FUN !

But before that... I have 1001 things to worry about... Gah! Don't we all LOVE assignments?

Might give this years' Night Market a pass to stay home and do work ! :(

P/S yilee is staying over at her friend's place tonight so I am all alone ... :'( Hopefully PH won't get all lonely tmr night since both of us will be out and thurs too...



Our dinner session

With love

The card finally arrived from KL!

Plus some panjang lebar story hidden inside to which I almost cried while reading it (the emotional me)

the gift before I left KL

Many thanks to all my beloved friends/ hsmates for making this a memorable and BUSY bday indeed!
(PH, Yilee, Kerry, Chengsu, Suzy, Sara, Audrey, Hui Zheng, Clayton fellas and those back home + in Melb)

hahaha! I was never this busy for my bday !
Thanks for the wonderful and pretty gifts. They were really spot on gifts which I really needed and for some cases badly needed. BUT some of them were too EXPENSIVE ! (*stares at both her hsmates*)

Spot on Examples:

• The lotion and body butter. My skin was on the verge of going all wrinkly from dehydration but not anymore.
• The gift card was for my liquid eyeliner which I've been wanting to get but got delayed due to my ongoing financial crisis.
  
• The jacket which I was also eyeing but knowing me, I usually don't get the stuff I want anyway (probably 90% of the time) because I am too budget-conscious ?
• The notebook to jot down all my agenda since I am getting OLD and forgetful?
• The cakes which were highly unnecessary but some found it highly necessary since they claim I shrink everytime they see me and I should really put on some weight before i completely dissappear.

Although I might not seem super happy or overly excited or look grateful at any point in time but I am really honestly grateful! The egoistic me rarely show my emotions to those around me but I do express it indirectly in my own way :) (Hint: what's my hobby?) XD This is the way I chose to express my gratitude and the BEST way too, I think.

In some cases though, this "activity" might not apply but I have my way of expressing myself :)

On Sunday, Dad asked me how was my bday celebration and all i could say was "fun!". I couldn't really explain how I celebrated my 21st bday since there was a high possibility that I might break down in tears when he asked so sweetly "How was it?" . However, I did remember to thank them for the diamond ring they gave me to which he replied: " You are very much welcome!" I was already in tears at this point. I really miss HOME!

Homesick + happiness + joy + sadness = ???
