I have the key on 22nd of March.

I had been disappeared from the internet world for several days and it seems like years to me. It was so weird, weird and weird. Indescribable. That's why it was so peaceful here with no updates at all. Zzz.

Ok, cut the crap.

As soon as I've got the internet connection working perfectly, the first thing I did was - reply all the Facebook birthday wishes and messages! I scared it'll be rude if I don't reply. Anyway it's the internet connection's fault that made me lost from the world. Screw it.

I should talk about how wonderful is my birthday.

It's my 21st. It's going to be a pretty long post I guess, because it's my 21st and it deserves to have one.

I had surprises on my birthdays, since 2 years ago I would say, from these close friends. On my 19th, they secretly planned everything and sort of like kidnapped me with lots of lame excuses - I was mesmerized - they planned it almost to perfection; On my 20th, the first time I celebrated my birthday in this Aussie land, they switched off the wireless connection even though they knew I was on skype with my mom at 12 sharp and came in with a cake, and Mao came too - I was surprised; On my 21st, again they knocked on my door at 12 with birthday song and presents, and a warm birthday dinner with close mates - I was and I am touched.

This time they refused to take a picture with their home clothes/pajamas when they came in at 12, and they stayed till late even Mei Zhi has to work in early in the morning. ☺

They know I've a big weakness in decision making and I think I should admit on this point. It is too bad to be true. So they kindheartedly made me order every dish for the dinner.

It wasn't that hard anyway. Asked for introduction and I just picked whatever the waitress introduced. That's pretty easy!

Due to purely Malaysian we are (oops Petrina? =p) we ordered the hot dishes with extra spicy but obviously the spiciness here never reach us with our high toleration.

Enough of photos of food, that's not the point. Hehehe.

I saw the box of cake in the fridge in the afternoon but of course I didn't peep at it. I swear.☺The choc mud cake is so pretty, superbly muddy and it tastes heavenly! No kidding.

There are still some leftover in the fridge. Buwahahha I won't consume it by myself I'll share the fats don't worry. *Slurp*

Most of them were in red/pink or light color because they knew I had a red tee from home and I'm wearing it for the night. I thought they were kidding when they said they're going to wear in red, so sweet of them ♥

Hmm I don't know why this picture looks so nice. ^______^

We moved on to Cold Rock to continue our chit-chatting with ice cream, ice cream and ice cream.

Something notable. There were nine Penangites here and each of us is from different high school - JS, HSBM, PCGHS, CLB, Han Chiang, Chung Hwa Confucian,  St Georges, Union and SXI. Cool? A group of diversified Penang kia scattered in different high schools! Hahahha.

Thanks to this bunch of great people I have a warm 21st, I truly appreciate everyone's presence and enjoyed every single moment we had. You guys are sweet :)

Of course, despite I'm thankful to have these people to celebrate my 21st with me, I'm loving those birthday wishes by phone calls, SMS, Facebook, video by SK and undelivered SMS to my M'sia number. A big thank you to everyone! Hugs!

This is not the end of the story yet. *Giggles* Hang on.

I never know when is my lunar birthday and my family doesn't have the tradition to eat 'mee suah' on birthdays. And this is the first year ever I celebrated my lunar birthday, at home on 1Mac - on the day I left.

I miss this green tea + red bean cake now. I didn't eat a lot that day because I cried too much. =p Wasted!

Last year when I asked for an iPhone, my mom said okay, birthday present for next year. When I refused to buy Levi's jeans because I think it's costly, it then became my present for 21st. Before I came, I got a white gold chain and it's my present again. And recently I asked for permission to go Christchurch and Melbourne in the winter break, my parents again, said it is my 21st birthday present. Thanks papa mama.

I know, I'm lucky. I'm blessed.

SAUN Welcome Party

It's a welcome party organised by the Singaporean Association of University of Newcastle but it's open to everyone so I don't have to be a Singaporean to be part of it. It's a great party although there wasn't much programs going on but everyone was indulged in mixing around. 

After the ice breaking session the food was served. We had rice and char bi hoon with vegie, sting-ray curry, roast chicken, curry pasta and desserts. Hoorays for no burgers no hotdogs no pizza no bread!

And basically none of us is Singaporean here. Hehehe.

I was so full after the party but I still joined to Hungry Jacks for ice-cream. Very very milky and creamy ice cream. 

And and.. on my way home with Pung, I saw this horse, or pony? It's so rare to see a pony on the street, and the owner is chasing at the back. LOL. How often do you see a horse/pony at the neighbourhood? 

And a superb full Thai dinner which made me really really full after all.

I'm going to Hamilton tomorrow, I heard there's something like a Sunday market. I shall not be a froggie here anymore. Thanks to Cien with her driving us around wherever we're going to. :)

Byebye.

Wii-ing!

This is what I've been doing these days.

Hua and I were playing wii music just now, mii meastro, with two conductors on stage. So childish yet so fun. :D :D

I'm the one at the front. My mii is super duper cute!! :D

I guess I'll have aches on my hand when I wake up in the morning. Or maybe one day I would slim down my arms? That's crap, hahahaha. I love Mario Beijing Olympic, especially the athletics track games, the 100m and 4x100m! Non stop shaking my hands for my Sonic to keep running to the max speed and I'm the world record holder now! I definitely miss the old times, the track games I love the most with us wearing the blue and school team tee. Woooops!

It's very obvious that my uni life will be extremely hectic for this semester so I better start enjoying before I screw up myself. Don't you think so? Oops :)

Planned to go for Mardi Gras parade in Sydney......

Finally I could make it down to Sydney on the first weekend I'm here and here was the Mardi Gras parade going on in the city. 

So, what's more? Of course I will have to meet up with our Xinyun!

She was so excited when I told her I'm going to get her on the next day and full 3 minutes of block letters messages I received in msn. Extract of the conversation goes like this :

Miss   x i n y u n: OMGGG!!!!!

Miss   x i n y u n: JOELENE!!!!

Miss   x i n y u n: MYD EAR!!1

Miss   x i n y u n: DO THEY HAVE TRAIN AT MIDNIGHT?

Miss   x i n y u n: YOU COME WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE??

Miss   x i n y u n: WALUAEH

and so on..........

The day was so freaking hotttttttttttt. That's why you see us wearing long sleeves! :)

F*fu Bee was in Sydney too with her bunch of friends coming from Canberra. We met up at Darling Harbour and had a short chat.

A little bit of the Mardi Gras photo.

The city was so crowded, I couldn't explain it. When the parade started, we heard cheering and shouting everywhere and there was a big screen along the road side. 

We are too short, so we saw nothing at all. Not even the big screen. So we went off for our dinner instead of standing there looking at the people's back and asses. Zzzzz...

A shot of the Darling Harbour at night to end the post.

So we made it to the Mardi Gras parade.

Again, as usual the day in Sydney is always so tired.

Voice from Newy

I've reached safe and sound on Monday afternoon but I only managed to get t to my bed at 1am that night, or I should say the next day morning.

It was so so so so so tiring. I hate moving house, I hate to unpack all the stuffs in the multiple boxes, I hate to clean up the room and the house. And I made it to attend the lecture in the evening, it's not the lecture that's killing but I'm collapsing. I have no idea what was going on in the lecture, the only thing I knew was "I AM BLANK", totally blank.

These are the boxes and stuffs that were torturing us, at least 15 boxes/bags of stuffs.

Our new house is pretty good, more comfy and home feels. We have been eating out almost everyday, except today's lunch of a packet of instant pasta, that's disgusting. :( We are sooooo lazy to cook, even we have been to shopping for few times but there is still no fresh stuffs in the fridge now. Until the day my purse goes holes heheheheheh :p

Photo with Meizhi and Peini, where we accidentally met Peini after checked in at the Penang Airport.

I've been sleeping for around 12 hours these days due to the freaking exhausted day. I need to recharge myself to face those hectic classes starting from next week when all tutorials are officially started. And life will be back to the usual-normal-boring-days like last year (?!) Oh this is a curse, I don't want a boring uni life.

And a photo of me with Hua and Samantha at Old Town days before we left.

I'm not going to have 12 hours sleep later tonight because I will be waking up early to have Korean brunch and do some shopping in Charlestown.

And perhaps I'm going down to Sydney for Mardi Gras parade this weekend? XINYUNNNN~ I'm calling for you!!


Byebye, hands off. :D

Time to leave, again.

I'm leaving later today.

Time flies and you'll never realise and here ends my 3-month holiday, too fast too furious wtf. I will never get used to leaving, it's cruel.

No emo, no sad and no cries. This is a bluff, a cheat and a joke.


Duhhh... bye bye la.



And happy 21st birthday to Jeannette!
