Happy 21st Birthday Veeeeen.

Wish I could be there to celebrate it with ya. :(

We'll have our own rockalicious party celebrating all our 21st when we get back in Dec.

And in the words of Mr 50cent,

'go shawty its yo birthday, we gonna party like its yo birthday'.

A million hugs to the birthday boy!

I'm feeling horriblely sick.

Throat hurts, body aches, watery eyes, spinning headache...

I feel so unaccomplished. I've been mopping around in bed all day. I can't even finish a paragraph of readings. I have been reading the same sentence for 15 times now! Rahhh..

Party Madness!!

While I'm stuck here in australia, most of my friends back home get the privilege of attending each other's 21st birthday celebrations. Just to name a few, I missed Ben's hawker centre dinner treat at ChompChomp, Kap's miami style beach party at km8 and not forgetting sumin's mouth watering buffet lunch party at Hotel Continental!! Well, I finally got the opportunity to attend two 21st birthday parties back to back last weekend. SuAnn's party was on Sat, while Ling's was on Sunday. It was nice just sitting around, chatting and eating, just enjoying each other's company.

The beeautiful birthday girl, SuAnn, with her butterfly-shaped pear cake and 21 'super hard to blow out' candles.

And while the birthday girl was busy entertaining..we had our own share of fun.

....More Photos to come.

Sugar, we're going down

by Fall Out Boy

Headed down to the beach yesterday afternoon with Su, and I actually managed to complete reading a chapter of hedging portfolios! I was intially was so determined on staying in to study, but the weather was so nice, warm and sunny and it kept beckoning me to go out and enjoy its warmth. (understand that this is especially when we have been in the cold, bitter winter months for way too long!)

Its kinda disguisting how easily my study patterns are affected by the weather. When its rainy,windy and gloomy I end up falling asleep, and when its sunny, nice and warm i want to go out. How!!! *shakes head*

The Southern Experience

And so the 6 of us- Martyn, Yu Xia, Andrew, Vernon, Steph and myself, ventured down to Margaret River on a 3-day road trip. It was a really refreshing experience, being close to nature and marvelling at God's wonderous creations. We met with 2 vast ocean surfaces (southern & indian), canoed in the wilderness, tracked the hilly lush forests by the river banks, ate cultural aboriginal food (emu, kangaroo, wild turkey and some worm paste thing) and explored majestic caves which were thousands and thousands of years old. Okay, maybe i'm over exaggerating a tad wee bit. Grin.

Honest Mistake

by The Bravery

Whenever I have to make a big decision in life.. I start to panic and freak out. And recently I feel that God has been placing me in such situations where He wants to see how I handle making such decisions and standing firm on what I have decided on. Its funny how when someone asks me for advise on what decisions he or she should make, I would somehow or another be able to give a seemingly reasonable answer. But when it comes to matters dealing with myself, I am always left in a fixed dilemma of not knowing what to do, where to go, etc.

I came to a conclusion that the reason why I face this problem is because I am never really ready to face the consequences, especially the bad ones. I am afraid of rejection, its just too much for me to bear.

I had a lovely conversation with my mummy dearest this morning. I was just feeling so bothered and confused and needed someone to talk to urgently at 9 in the morning. I thought she would be busy in the office, but thankfully she was at home resting her injured leg. I didn't get to tell her much, but I felt comforted immediately after we ended our conversation. For I know even if I do make bad decisions, I will always have her support and love.

Thank you ma.

Spring at Araluen

A few of us heading down to Araluen Botanical Park yesterday morning. It felt like a mini-road trip. Araluen is about an hour's drive from Perth city and has a huge display of tulips and all sorts of other beautiful flowers. They have flowers growing everywhere.. even in toliet bowls and shoes! We set off at about 10.50am after making sandwiches for our picnic. If it weren't for our new sandwich subway boy Josh, we wouldn't know what kind of sandwiches to make. From killer meat sandwiches of bacon,ham and cheese, to chicken&mayo (thanks to ernest and martyn) and of course not forgetting everyone's favourite seafood crabstick sandwich (not my favourite unfortunately). Okay credit goes to the guys for making the sandwiches..we girls just sat back and relaxed while they did most of the work. Of course Stace and I helped out with the glad wrapping! Haha.

Araluen wasn't as big as I expected it to be. Then again maybe that was because we didn't venture too far in. Even though I'm not the kind of girl who appreciates flowers, I still have to say that the flowers were beeeautiful. I felt I was in the garden of Eden. Okay I shall just let the pictures speak for themselves. Here are some shots for the time being, still waiting for Steph to upload her photos so I can get them from her.

Trailer Park

He must become greater; i must become less.

Derivatives mid semester exam is finally over! Thank God. He has been my sustenance through it all. I actually learnt a lesson in the midst of the torturous mugging.. that is to be more consistent in my work from now on! Extremely insane stress is what you get 3 nights before your paper when you suddenly realise that you have absolutely no clue what was going on during the 6 weeks of lectures.

One paper down, 2 assignments to go! It just keeps snowballing.

Here are some photos taken last week during high tea at cottlesloe's Indiana Teahouse & chill out session at Little Creatures on friday night.
