Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous

When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway.
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with ease.
When we dance you have a way with me, stay with me, sway with me.
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you.
Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak.
Michael Buble; Sway.

I just got an email from my dear brother. =)

Its just a warm fuzzy feeling everytime I receive an email from one of the fishes.

Kind of makes me treasure and appreciate my fish family more. If I hadn't gone to OZ, perhaps I would have taken them for granted. Not perhaps, I will have!

Things always seem to happen for a reason doesn't it?

The people we meet in life, the situations that take place in our lives. Even the school we go to, the job we "randomly" picked up from the Classifieds. Nothing is random. Everything is in God's plan.

Come to think of it, my job at Suntec was good training. It taught me so much, and I experienced so much! The good (-i'm smiling-) and the not-so-good. Well, that's working life isn't it? =)

I know its silly to have idols at 21! But, its the only way I can take my mind of things. If I think of my family and friends, I get depressed. So, 东方神起 to the rescue!!

Now...
I'm changing the hierarchy of my husbands!!

Jaejoong is 1st now! Followed by Xiah, Micky, Yunho and then Changmin.

Jae looks so weird on the first 2 albums! But after watching so many off stage shows and programmes, Jae is so cute!!! Lol. Seriously!! Compare his photo from the first 2 albums, he look so weird!! But he started looking good after the 3rd Korean album.

Its picture spam after that!!

Lol. I'm day dreaming alot today, take my mind of stuff. So.. PICTURE SPAM!!!

Jae, 2004----> doesn't he look weird??
Jae 2007- such a big difference!! So much hotter!!

Xiah~
Micky~Yunho~
Changmin~
东方神起~ =)

I went to watch Horton Hears A Who!! Its a very hard-warming show, it's a kind of show that will make you go "awwww!!". Its as nice as Nemo I think. =) Jesse Macartney voiced in it! But he only had.... 5 sentences max. The entire show, his character was muted, the only time he really opened his "mouth" was to sing.. a few words. Lol. Its a nice show, you guys should catch it if you can!


Mimi (my good friend from Uni) and I went shopping! First we went to get tickets, and there was this LONG LONG queue because Tuesday is cheap tickets day for them. $9.50 per ticket, other days are like, $14 I think, or around there. So expensive!! So, the cafe shown below is part of this HUGE shopping center at Chadston. It has alot of shops, but... nothing to buy. Mimi bought the new Britney Spear's fragrance, Believe, and they gave her a bottle of Believe body lotion and a free Believe bag. So much free stuff!! (I wonder if they are trying to clear stock, cause Britney Spear's Midnight fragrance was gathering dust on the shelf).

My crazy friend went to buy this HUGE cake as shown below, its a Mango-Banana cake. IT IS SO SO SWEET!! I had 4 bites and downed my latte to drown out the sweetness. Gosh, cakes here are so incredibly sweet!


I love my latte.
Horrendously sweet cake!
Movie Tickets!!!
1 photo from that clubbing night. The twins are the girls mentioned below. =)
On the way to the bathroom... one of my rare "let's take photo" moments. =)

The cake was difficult to finish.

Clubbing in Melbourne.

Its actually quite nice. Wasn't as bad as I thought it will be.

I'm not sure if its an Asian club cause there were SO MANY ASIANS!! Only about 20 people from other races.

The club's setting is like a warehouse. Bigger dance floor than MOS and Zouk, where you don't see people sticking to each other. Their infrastructure doesn't get in the way or block your path, so that's good. No tables and chairs in the way either.
Huge dance floor: maybe 2 classroom sizes
Comfy cushions: you dont have to "reserve" your seat or make someone sit there because there are alot of seats, but somehow, the clubbers here dont really sit. Or, they sit for 10 minutes, get up and dance and float around.
Medium sized bar: the bar isn't very big, but it always looks crowded, funny enough, you don't see alot of people holding drinks in their hands or mugs on the table.
Table top/platforms: the platforms aren't very high, about the size of 4 SJC desks joined to form a square, but the height is like.. half of the desk leg. Table tops, I only saw one group of girls table dancing, lol, they look like they're trying to bump each other off the table cause its quite small and there were quite a few of them.
ID Checks: very strict ID checks, the bouncer stores your information in a computer if my eyes didn't fail me. Interesting...
Music: Nice music at the start, old pop songs from Destiny's Child, JLO. But when I got dragged to the dance floor they started playing music that I didn't recognise, so it was difficult to bounce to it. DJ was very interactive and he was rapping to the music, quite nice!

Throughout the entire time I was there, I kept thinking "The girls would love it if they were here." The club wasn't squashy, plenty of seats, not sure if drinks are expensive cause I didnt drink anything, no weird smell, people walking around clearing bottles and stuff. Its actually a very nice club to go to. They have a cloak room, where you pay $5 per item. Most people here just pay the $5 and don't carry ANYTHING with them at all. Not even cash, maybe its because most of them came with boys.

I left early with the twins. I think I only spent, 1 1/2 hours there. I didn't want to stay that long because the other people I know were with people they know, but whom I don't know so, its kindof weird.
Would I go clubbing again? I don't know. Probably not unless its someone's birthday or something I guess... I take a while to "fang kai" even in Spore, and I didn't "fang kai" the entire night, so I think I look constipated. Gah!! And I can't dance for nuts~~


* I left out vital information. The dressing of the people-esp the guys. ahem. hahaha
The guys were all well dressed, and well groomed. The girls were.... well dressed as well but I think the guys last night looked better. Alot of good looking boys, surprisingly!! I don't know why I am surprised, but I am!

I'm FREAKING OUT.

My friend is picking me up ..

but..

I'M STILL FREAKING OUT!!

ARGH!!!!

the above link is the club i'm going to later.

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

, 10:13 AM

I have the whole week off next week due to the Easter holidays! Not so much a holiday for me cause I've got a massive amount of studying to do plus attachments.

I'm trying to do as many shifts as I can so that I can plan to go home in June/July, there's a quota everyone must reach, so, I'm trying!!

Husbands sang Pieces of A Dream with Chemistry on Music Fair!! SO SO NICE!!!! Junsu/Jaejoong can duet with almost everyone! Their voices are amazing. And Yunho looks good!! And Micky too!! Changmin is changmin... hahaha.. see the obvious bias-ness? Lol.


I'm going clubbing tonight.

I'm scared!! The only reason why I'm going is because my friends have been asking me to go clubbing since last year and I've always turned them down. They know it!! I don't know why they keep asking me to go!! Lol. Ok, I shouldn't be so ungrateful.
A friend's friend is organizing some party across the street from Crown Casino, and tickets are at $10 which is considered cheap in OZ standards. And, my friends won't take no for an answer.

OH NO!! I can't dance for nuts!! I'll look like an idiot bouncing off the dance floor!!

And, I won't be drinking cause, well, I don't feel secure. Firstly, because Mel has become so unsafe at night! You hear so much about street fights, people getting mugged (and knifed in the process) etc... AND they have a binge drinking problem. Its on the news almost everyday!

Secondly, I am probably going home alone, so, I have to stay sober. And I probably won't be allowed to go home before 1a.m so.. that's another problem.

Thirdly, I'll probably be sleepy, so I can pretend to be "drunk". Hahahaha, you guys all know how early I sleep. I'm downing as my potent concoction of drinking coffee and green tea on the same day. I couldn't sleep one night when I drank that. POTENT.

I thought of bringing my camera, but my friends ask me not to bring a bag cause you'll have to carry it the whole night. I'm still bringing a bag though, because where am I going to put my wallet, phone, keys and stuff?!? The bag is small, so, I can't PUT MY UMBRELLA in!! I'm quite annoyed at myself for that! Haha, no prizes for guessing why.

AND AND AND, its Good Friday!! Fancy going clubbing on Good Friday!! ARGH.

I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TONIGHT.

Thank You, Songda for the very thoughtful gift!

I think it took a while at Quarantine, cause they stuck a sticker on the mail package saying that they opened it, but found that everything was ok~

I miss my family.

I miss my mates.

Stumbled upon this few sentences as I was doing my work. Cheers to Debbie who introduced me to this website some years ago.

The article, that this few sentences are extracted from, is much longer, so go to the webbie, there are many inspirational and reflective articles to read. =)

"There are no chance encounters and no small meetings. Everyone we meet is sent to us by God for a noble purpose. Every relationship, no matter how brief, is an invitation to connect. As we remember to keep love first, we have our priorities in order and we might even save someone’s life - beginning with our own."- Alan Cohen

Some people in your life are just placed there to see how far they can push you.

Yep, they try your patience every now and than.

So much so, that you are tempted to wish them away.

Like a house fly, to be exact, an OZ house fly!

Yes, that's the word!!

!@#$%^& = my indescribable annoyance.

I will think happy thoughts...

my husbands and my eye candy.

RAINY NIGHT-Xiah Junsu

Rain in my heart, the tears are not going to stop, tonight
It's like the short-lived, forgotten thing that you last left

The world without you will be full of darkness
If only this was all a dream
I wanted to see you, oh my girl
The reason why I can't see you is because I don't want to hear you say goodbye
Baby I still love you

Please don't cry anymore, you cry all the time oh baby
But those parts about you are so sweet
Now its not me, its somebody else yeah
Who is comforting your tears

But I still love you
You are living only in the unforgettable memories
Forever this feeling,
Ever since we embraced each other on that day, your scent has never let me go
Baby I still love you

I carved your name, to the cross that I can't pull out from my heart, baby, you are my love

The world without you will be full of darkness
If only this was all a dream
I wanted to see you, oh my girl
The reason why I can't see you is because I don't want to hear you saying goodbye

But I still love you
You are only living in the unforgettable memories
This feeling forever, is not going to stop, my girl, even if deep in my heart gets wet,
I can't say goodbye cause I love you


I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

A day of calories!!!

I had SO MUCH to eat today!!

Had a meeting at Cabrini, not too bad, pretty excited to start attachment. =)

My first gift of the day arrived!!! Tons of love to Bullock and Xuan!!! I love it!!! Hahaha!!

Met Natalie, Anne and Bryan at Lygon street for lunch.
Thank you guys so so much!! It was really enjoyable!! We had pasta and pizza at Corretto's and this very rich cake at Brunetti! Bryan has most of the photos, I'll upload them when he sends them to me!

I also had Korean for dinner!! Yumm! But I was so so stuffed from lunch I only had soup, but thank you Weimei for dinner!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS BUCKET LOADS!! =)



I nearly screamed when I saw the balloons. Lol. I was smiling to myself like an idiot. Yes Yes, similar to my "eye candy" goofy smile. The chocolates were found inside the box. I was actually contemplating if I should open it, I thought it was empty, but I'm glad I opened it!! Thank you Bullock and Xuan!! Kisses and Hugs to you both!!!



These items were from Natalie, Anne and Bryan!!! Peter Rabbit baby lotion, a sweet card, KoKo Black yummy-licious chocolates!!! Scarf from Sportsgirl and a lovely flower!!! And oh yes! Cake from Brunetti!! The red sticks are candles. =) I love the card!! Its so sweet!! I don't have a vase cause I won't really buy flowers, so hence, the white mug. =D

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!!!

=)

It was an enjoyable 21st. Slightly different from what I had planned when I was 16, but enjoyable none the less. =)

I like OLD ANG MOHs!!!

They're sweet!!

I went to collect a book I ordered because the school bookshop ran out of copies. Well, actually, they only ordered 3 for the entire Year 2 cohort!! So anyway, a friend and I took a trip down to this bookstore near Victoria Market.
The boss ( i assume he is the boss) is just the sweetest thing!! Ok, person!!

A box of syringe-like looking pens filled with red ink were on display. You know how they are put near the cash register? It looked so real and my friend and I were really amused by it. So as my friend was settling her bill, he took 2 pens and gave it to us!!! ON THE HOUSE!! SO SWEET!!!
The 2 of us were like idiots, acting like its the first time someone has actually given us something out of their own good will. We were so happy!

And before we left, he said, "Study hard!"

Isn't he just the sweetest thing!!

I felt like jumping over the counter to give him a hug!!

Hahahaha~

He really made my day.

I would faint if something like that were to happen in any Asian country!

Small gestures DO count!!

=)

Thanks to Bullock for translating my letter from my husbands!!

To Diana-chan

You're probably shocked at suddenly getting delivered a letter like this, huh.
The truth is, since the first day we met there's always been feelings I've wanted to express to you, so I'm going to just write this at the top of my voice!
The first time I met Diana-chan was at a game centre, do you still remember?
You saw me looking for a ring which was inmportant to me and helped me to look for it, I was really happy.
At that time, I was so nervous I couldn't say anything but a curt thank you, but from that time onwards I became interested in Diana-chan...
I know Diana-chan likes Yuchun because I was told by Chyamin, but I had to express my feelings no matter what...
Though I'm this kind of person...I want you to go out with me!
That may be an impossible request, but I'll do my best and become more and more charming.
At 6pm on the 1st of March I'll be waiting for you in Disneyland, so I'd like to hear your reply.

From Jaejoong



HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA~~

BIG SMILES.
