the crimson evening sky...

所謂的萬里無雲~~
Absolutely cloudless!!! It was the prettiest sky ever!
If you could see this sky every day, I'm sure you'll be happier (:

Introducing the new members of my room, Little Miss Chatterbox and friends, Mr Tickles and Mr Smiling Milk Tooth! Such bubbly little things they are~ And I totally heart Mr Smiling Milk Tooth whom I found at a kids boutique at Freo this afternoon.

Let's all learn to be like Mr Happy! (and not drink and drive!! >_<)

Cheer up!! /hugs

long island iced tea
11:13 PM

天蠍座是長島冰茶，看來溫和無害，只要被他的尾針一扎，便脫不了身。
名為「冰茶」的長島冰茶，溫和的紅茶色澤與順潤的入喉感，就像天蠍看來無害的天真大眼與溫吞動作。喝過長島冰茶的人都知道，它絕對是無庸置疑的烈酒﹔熟識天蠍性格的人也都知道，被天蠍愛上的人就沒有逃脫的可能。這不是說他們會多猛烈追求喜愛的對象或是猛烈報復，而是說，他們的愛，即使沒有得到回應和回饋，也是會持續到不可置信的年歲。這可以歸因於他們的專情，或是說，他們的固執。就如同長島冰茶，不動聲色地，酒醉你的神經，讓你渾然不知自己醉了，或是沒醉。悶騷的天蠍，搞曖昧和暗戀別人最拿手，也常因為錯過表白時機而懊悔不已。又帥又美的天蠍，有著迷人的電眼和性感雙唇。自卑感卻是數一數二的強烈！照顧情人非得無微不至。他們的神秘氣質，說穿了不過是不擅言詞和心不在焉。紅茶色澤是天蠍偽裝的純情，烈酒的後勁是天蠍固執的守候。如果你愛上長島冰茶般的天蠍，恭喜你，你抽中了十二星座飲料之首，保證你可以來場醉人的戀愛！

interesting~
i never tried a long island iced tea before though...

Road trip to Margaret River, Busselton and surroundings....

Part of our huge house of 1250m² complete with a pool, billard table and foosball!

Firewood firewood firewood! Wood chopping is back breaking work I tell you. But I mastered the skill! XD

Our fireplace, though not the conventional santa-climb-down-the-chimney type of fireplace..

Pretty sora with cotton ball clouds~~

Yallingup Reef with Mad and noisy kid number 1, Charmaine.

The gorgeous Laurance Vineyard~ They have the prettiest roses and urm... restroom.

Wine barrels at Moss Brothers winery.

THE margaret river! Looking down from up high, the view was magnificent.

Mammoth Cave. One of those limestone natural formation caves....

Blue blue sky and the Busselton Jetty. Seabreeze and seagulls~

I can't really put this trip into words somehow. But I enjoyed myself.

new skin!
10:35 PM

Finally gotten the time to redo my blog skin. It's about the same yet not so the same cos I have a very long script now but it's not as messy as my previous script. Well, you can't see the script anyway, so lets see... the pretty sky is stolen from tatta and the background from i dont know where. But the links are crazy.
I still like this new look nonetheless (: /beams

While enjoying the rare periods of peace and silence at home, I finished koizora armed with a box of tissue. Cheesy lovey stuff but awwwww.... Aragaki Yui FTW!

Off to vineyards tomorrow! All excited about the trip although it's with 2 screamy kids. I got myself a hat, a scarf (which i hope will dry by tmr) and a box of honey tiny bears!

Please help me update my pupegirl.

恋空

I am falling in love with the vast blue sky all over again....

school's officially out!
12:20 AM

So now I can finally pop my little bottle of imaginary champagne and celebrate with all my imaginary friends! and without that huge load of stress, I've been rather high for the past 33 hours or so. YIPPEEEE!! freedom never felt better. This one sem of uni life seemed to have compressed my entire 13 years of schooling life's worth of stress into 4 months. I have no idea why but it seems like I have so much difficulty coping with this whole uni thing. But nevermind, I am gonna reformat my brain during the next 2 months and try to reorganise myself when school starts again next year. Though I cant do what I really love doing but having an online-drama-watching marathon and shopping is a good enough compensation for now. Retail therapy is still currently my most effective type of therapy for whatever.

Last night got me thinking about things again, those things that haunt me over and over again. I just dont know what to do. Dear God, please pity me with some courage so I can maybe deal with all these emotions.

and my birthday continues...
8:33 PM

I woke up this morning to 1 huge parcel and 1 card!!
The parcel's from mama and papa, and it had been checked by quarantine!

The packaging seemed perfectly untouched if not for these yellow tape notices.

Luckily, my cute little girly trinklet box passed the quarantine.
And the quarantine guys actually inserted the brochures inside my package.

Then, the card!!!
THANK YOU NAD AND CHONG!! <33 I think the bug looks alot like chong, don't you think??!

I found this stamp of the handsome angel very amusing. Cos it's actually looking at my name on the envelope!! LOL

See, family birthdays used to be like this:

happy bathday!
11:25 PM

First day of no-more-a-teen girl!

After free boost juice, cosmogirl! and a pedicure (very bad, may i add), we headed to our favourite place of all times - the marts at northbridge! We stocked up on so much food as though it's gonna be war tomorrow. Anyhow, it was satisfying and my loot consisted of salt chocolate, carbonara potato chips, thai green curry hk twisties and instant food!! The very second I paid for the stuff, I thought "I am gonna get so so fat, but whatever its my birthday".
Then, after failing to find a decent thai restuarant, we headed to nandos chicken to try their famous peri peri chicken~! Yummy yum yum!

Peri chicken number 1!

This wooden rooster table number is so cute!!

The famous nandos chicken sauces! I took the medium and hot cos the extra hot looks too red and too spicy /shudders. But somehow, medium and hot taste the same. Nice! We were famished so i didnt have a chance taking a snapshot of our 'two's a party' platter. Try to imagine 2 quarter chicken, 4 pieces of random boneless chicken, all grilled to yummiliciousness, 2 grilled corn on cob and a bowl of coleslaw. yea, that's basically it. fantastic.

Back home, sharon and uncle shane bought me a tiramisu cake!!! It was meant to be a surprise but cos i was so excited this morning i blurted out it was my birthday so it wasnt surprising anymore. bummer. I would have liked a surprising cake.

Anyhow, I blew out the 20 candles!! that was quite a feat.

Cos it was on self timer and placed incredibly near at the other side of the table, the cake looked humongous! And the flash hit the cake instead of us obviously so the main focus is really the cake, not us. That's little ben there too!

The reason why I was so excited this morning was because of all the goodies streaming in our letterbox!!

2 envelopes, 1 parcel box.

Parcel first, parcel first!!!!
This was the very first thing I got and ripped the box to pieces to extract this super duper cute and full of love tumbler!!! Rainbows, sun, hearts and all things nice (i.e. my name)~ Love you sis!

First envelope, a very tear-jerking card from mama and papa....

Second envelope, the addressed yet unaddressed letter from dearest teeeerjan!

And the trinklet that came with it!!! I heart it so much! and they match my ring too!!

But because of the abuse australian postmen inflict on mail items (the parcel box was squished too fyi), one of the earrings broke!! I am devastated.

And of cos, the very first birthday present of the year!!! Right on the dot at 12 am!!

Thank you mad~!!!

Thank you to all my friends who remembered my birthday!! I feel so loved <33
And yay, the first day ends with yip being very tired and maybe high on rum.

nocturnal
1:08 AM

My sleeping rountine is so messed up now. All because of.... i dunno what actually. But now i can only manage to sleep at around 3am and then wake up 12noon. It's like a vicious cycle, how i sleep late and wake up late only to be pissed at myself for waking up so late. But I just can't force myself awake in the mornings!! (>_<) And it sucks when you wake up to construction noise cos uncle shane is like in a frenzy to finish his patio decking before sharon's family come in 2 weeks. I hate it when he's not away at work cos the entire day right into the night he will be banging, sawing, making such a horrible din that I cant concetrate studying and especially with my super easily distracted-ness, it is really hard to concentrate. I guess that's why I stay up till so late to study. Yes, I've been listening to anthropology lectures right till now. It's so much better late into the night when everyone's asleep and I can finally concentrate better, it has always been this case. And I realised that I had just managed to justify my bad sleeping hours! Ok, I shall not be pissed at myself then.

I've been listening to alot of canto pop these days. And this newcomer, G.E.M, I think she's rather good. Her other canto songs are also very nice (it's only 2 songs actually, cos she only has like 5 songs to date and the other 2 are mandarin so i didnt really bother listening...)
Anyways, 'Where did you go' by G.E.M:

鄧紫棋 G.E.M - Where did you go

曾看著同星空　閒聊吹風　看日出多心動

曾每日纏一起　傻傻講起　能愛到下世紀

怎麼你俘虜這個心　卻抽身退隱　不再親近

獨自苦等　仍然空等　難藏淚印

看著　電話中短訊

聽著　錄音的口訊

昨天的你哪天再接近

Tell me where did u go

心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did u hide

辛苦都未被諒解

Where did u go

數數多久不碰到

我在每夜　徹夜狂想　Where did u go

而這夜月光中　再見影縱　再獻花多感動

而似蜜甜的心　明明開心　為何又驟降溫

怎麼你一下子抱緊　卻一下子轉身　不再親近

獨自苦等　仍然空等　難藏淚印

看著　電話中短訊

聽著　錄音的口訊

昨天的你哪天再接近

Tell me where did u go

心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did u hide

辛苦都未被諒解

Where did u go

數數多久不碰到

我在每夜　徹夜狂想

Where did u go Where did u go

怎會當這刻我需要你　你卻沒在我身邊

Where did u go Where did u go

這秒鐘很掛牽　你卻不可感覺到

Where did u go

hello, november!
4:05 PM

So fast that my birthday's in 9 days!
So fast that exams are in 11 days!
So fast that i'm returning home in 34 days!
So fast.

As much as I want my birthday to come, exams to be over and go home, I can't but wish that time can pass by SLOWER. History essay due monday and after which I have 3 papers to study for. The stress is killing me! I got so insane from the stress that I went jogging yesterday morning. After submitting the essay, I only have 8 days to study and just for the first paper on 12 nov, I gotta finish a book of 351 pages by our dear Philippe Bourgois and come up with a review and also read enough to tackle an essay about globalisation complete with references to authors and works, and all on top of going through each and every lecture to answer the MCQs! That is only the FIRST paper! POLS is gonna be another killer with 50 MCQs and an essay, which like all others require references and shit like that. ANTH2239 might somehow be my least worried subject since it's media so it can't go very wrong. But the thought of POLS is depressing. Absolutely dread POLS.

I am trying so hard to hold myself together and fight on.
