Hello there

Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Nah, I did not die from the plane crash.

Perth's lovely. It is the summer here and so the heat is really bothering me. Today's temperature is 36 degrees clesius, but thank god I stayed indoors most of the time today.

Last tuesday, it was a high 39 degrees and I guess because I am still not used to the summer yet, I fell sick. My temperature shot to meet the day's highest temperature and I felt so miserable. It really sucks being sick and being away from your loved ones. I was homesick as well, so I just cried and cried throughout the whole night. I miss my mum, my dad, sexyxiang, Kwan, conan, my bed, my aircon, the pool, shopping in Orchard Road, mummy's soup, laksa, channel 8 and my life in Singapore.

I guess this is part and parcel of being abroad. I haven't been away from my parents for more than 2 weeks, I do not want to behave like a baby but I was so tempeted to call them and ask them to stay with me for a couple of weeks.

I miss my life in Singapore.

Curtin is great. It is so bloody big that I have to walk for 10 minutes to get from one class to another. I am joining the gym, yoga, bellydancing and maybe fencing. Ken says fencing is cool. I am still deciding. There is a guild in Curtin and you can get special offers if you present your Guild membership. Isn't that cool? Especially when food from the cafeteria is so bloody expensive. A small serving of pasta costs like 7 bucks, bottle of Light Coke costs $2.40. Do not forget the exchange rate of 1.2. Damm.

I love the television programmes on Fox 8. There is South Park, The Family Guy, The Simpsons and truckloads of other great TV programmes!

I miss you guys so much. Take care.

Adieu.

Farewell

Monday, February 13, 2006

While I am typing this, Amanda is probably on the plane now, flying any moment soon. I went to the airport just now to send her off. Met Conan ealier for gym, had dinner and later went on a long journey from Choa Chu Kang to Changi Airport.



Did I say that we love to photo-whore?


We were so bored!

Conan told me stupid jokes like

"Which planet does gays love?"

"Erm, Venus?"

"No, Uranus(Your anus)"

"-_-"

Anyway, I have not been to the Changi Airport MRT station before. So I was quite surprised by the design of the station. Beautiful lights and everything.



I love long escalator rides. =)

Saying goodbye from somewhere you have been all your life is not easy. Amanda, Jacinda, Shan Ling and Elvany have all left. Next should be me. I am looking forward to my new life in Perth, but I am going to miss my life here. To me, it is like moving onto a new step of my life. To receive the O level results on friday marks the end of my secondary school life. Well, it is time for me to move on acadamically and to a new environment.

On friday, before reaching the school, I have already received information from Conan that I did well for my O level.

"Wen, You qualify for JC!!!"

"OH MY GOD!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS???"

And I went on 'OMG-ing'

He reassured me that it was not another sick joke and I was ecstatic.

Mr Lee handed me the result slip and I was so happy that I cried. Bloody hell, my A math results went from a ugly F9 to a decent B3!!! Miss Kit Lee called me 'A Success Story'. It is my very first time passing A math! I got my distinction for E math and I was so grateful to Miss Poh. As promised, I gave her a huge hug. Man, I love that woman!

I remembered after my physics paper, I felt so lousy doing the paper and I thought I was going to fail after putting in so much effort. After completing the Blue and Red Book of Physics, after all the tuitions at Mr Lee's place, the early morning to late night slogging. I felt so much despair. Even I got a C5 for Physics, I am happy enough as I used to score F9s.

Honestly, I have not felt so much gratitude to anybody till that day I saw the results. To Mr Lee, Miss Poh, Mrs Chan, Miss Lee and the other teachers. Also not forgetting my friends who were there all the while to help and enourage me. Frederick, Shu Ming, Erwin, Hao Quan, Jackie and the others... Always ready to render assistance and being so patient. Goodness, I miss slogging for the O levels.

4 days left.

Adieu.

No luck with Cupid?

Thursday, February 09, 2006


Love is in the air.

This is the time when the cash registers of the restaurants, hotels and florists can be heard ringing. I was flipping through a magazine and 90 percent of the ads and articles were all about Valentine's Day.
Man, my heart goes out to those who are single.
What can you do if you are Single, Available and Desperate (SAD)?
1. Call chat lines and make some 'new friends'.


2. Ladies, be thankful as you do not have to gain weight from all the chocolates and guys, be happy that you do not have to buy roses/take your girlfriend out for an expensive and overpriced dinner. You can buy a new Xbox 360 with all that cash!

3. Adopt a kid. Brat Pitt may come knocking on your door.

4. Get high on alcohol and go to bed.

5. Search for a mail order bride.

I remember six years ago in primary school, I received this heart shaped box of M&Ms and a love note from this classmate of mine. I was turning twelve then. If I am not wrong, his name is Darius Sim. That day, he asked a friend of his(some boy I did not like) to pass me that box of M&Ms. It was pretty scary to me then. In class, I was his tutor for maths as he was very weak in that subject. Maths period was the only time I spoke to him. I know it is mean, but that box of M&M ended up in the bin, unopened. Man, that broke his heart.

I think, Valentine's Day is somehow too commercialised. Overpriced roses, dinner packages... However, I think it is also a day to be thankful that you have someone special who cares and loves you. Thing is, you don't need to wait till the 14th of Feb to pamper your girlfriend with roses and candlenight dinner or to bare your feelings to the one you love. Do it now.

Now that Kwan is in the army, I would probably be spending Valentine's Day with a few friends or with my family.

Guys I would want to date if I am unattached.

1. Joshua Ang

God-dammed cute. His bad-boy image makes him look so uh-irresistible.

2. Chad Michael Murray

Don't you just want a piece of him? From the Prince Charming in 'Cinderella Story' to the bad-boy hero in 'House of Wax'. Man, this guy is sure sexy.

3. Oliver Goh.

Sorry. This is not Oliver, but a poor substitute for him as I do not have his picture. One of the head prefects in school, super tall, tanned, good looking, great bod, sports man, great leader, popular, polite, smart... The list goes on. Every teenage girl's fantasy.

Oh well, day dreaming again.

Adieu.

The horror

Tuesday, February 07, 2006

Chinese New Year. Went around visiting my relatives, friends and teachers and got fat fat fat.

Here is a guide to calorie-counting for Chinese New Year.

1 peice of bak kwa --- 230 Cal
1 pineapple tart---80 Cal
1 love letter---55 Cal
1 slice of kueh lapis---150 Cal
1 mandarin orange---50 Cal
1 piece of kueh bangkit---25 Cal
1 portion of Yu Sheng---560 Cal
1 spicy shrimp roll---72 Cal
1 peanut cookie---57 Cal
2 pieces of prawn crackers---98

Gosh. I have sinned so much that I should be burnt in hell. I went to learn baking pineapple tarts two weeks before the new year. So when the batch of cookies turned out bad, my auntie would stuff it into my mouth. Shit. She is so not helping me. I know I had a lot of kueh bangkit. It is my favourite CNY goody, followed by kueh baluh and love letters. During the New Year, I had yu sheng at least thrice I think.

3x560= One freaking thousand six hundred and bloody eighty calories.
I am going to redeem myself by burning the extra fat/calories. So lately, I have been to the gym and been running a little more. But damm, I feel that I have been becoming weaker. My knees are giving me loads of problems. I am also doing a lot of swimming. With the exercise and a proper diet, hopefully I will get to lose the weight.

Went online just now and Wei Chong came and talk to me.

Damm. The O level results will be out on this friday. Although it is not going to affect me greatly, but I still feel the anxiety and fear of failing. I studied so hard the past few years for this moment. But what is done is already done, I can only wait.

10 days.
Adieu.
