I'm going downunder! yup I got accepted into University of Melbourne Veterinary Science already.. Just received the confirmation today.. After 1 month plus of waiting I finally got an answer. Was at Kleon's house with Cherlyn dear and hy today when dad called me to tell me the good new. I was supposed to be screaming for joy, but for some reason, the tears just started flowing. Dun be mistaken, they're definitely tears of joy.. But its just that this means so much to me. Sorry if i scared you my dears, but there were reasons.. Lol, they were so cute, they thought my dog passed away or something..
Nothing my dad said to me could register in my head.. The only thing i knew at that moment was that I was gg to Melbourne.. that i was one step closer to fulfiling my dream.. I'm having mixed feelings about this. I'm definitely elated coz this is what i have wanted for a very long time already. On the other hand, the thought of leaving behind my family, especially my dad and my dog willow; the thought of leaving behind my friends, especially Cherlyn dear; the thought of leaving Singapore for a long period of time etc.. its just devastating..
Met the rest of the girls for dinner to celebrate wai yen's belated bdae today.. Just hanging out with them always makes my day.. gonna miss them loads.
And Cherlyn found a job today. She'll be working at this light shop near her house, so she said she'll still be on time even though she leaves house like 10 min b4 she must report for work. lol. But its just so sudden.. One min we were happily playing bball and the next she already has a job.. So now i'll be seeing less of her =(
Hiaz i feel so unemployed.. But my schedule doesnt allow me to find a long-term part time job.. I think i need to start searching for a one week job to kill time and earn some money for shopping..
[Mum, i did it, i really did it. I won't forget what i promised you.. I'll make it.. I'll make you proud, I'll make dad proud.]

My 18th Birthday I have been up and about so much that i cant seem to find the time to sit down and do something anymore. lol.. So I finally sorted out the photos we took on 24th Nov.. It was really a great day to turn 18. I'm such a lucky girl to have such gd friends. Thx again girls! U know who u are =)
Started the day by getting a bdae wish from Grandma.. She never forgets my birthday, and its the same routine year after year.. She would give me a red packet, tell me that I'm one yr older etc.. Then she'll boil red eggs for me. Haha i love her man.. And of coz thats dad, who doesnt really let his emotions show.. But i know he loves me very much.. love my family! =)
Went to meet Cherlyn dear later in the afternoon to see if we could sniff out some gd shopping bargains. Speaking bout that, I'm in a Christmas mood! everywhere we go christmas carols are playing in the background, and christmas trees and lights adorn the streets of Orchard.. I hope this will be a gd Christmas!
Met the rest of the gang later for dinner.. Bee, JieHui and Isabel were searching for their prom dresses when we spotted them. The two love birds arrived together with Evey. Poor WaiYen had to study for Bio S, and Kleon had a nasty ear infection so they couldn't make it. As usual, we spent so long trying to decide where to eat, and ended up at Sakae.. We sat opposite each other across the conveyor belt, talking and laughing. It was real fun.. Then we walked along Orchard Road while waiting for Wee Wee to arrive, (was so happy to see that girl! it as been so long since we met) admiring the pretty lights and the numerous busking acts.. Wee Wee was supposed to surprise me with the cake but I saw it heh.. Then there was this huge discussion on where to get the candles, coz apparently Wee forgot about them as she was in such a rush. So Cherlyn sent the 2 lovebirds to search for candle [i cant call them anything else now. Its always Hui Yi and Jem or vice versa.. Its never one without the other. I have so many obscene photos of them in my camera but its too much to show them here.. haha] The cake shop wanted to sell them one candle for $1.90! can u believe it! Such an exorbitant price for one, candle i swear its extortion! 18 candles and it'll be close to $35, even more expensive than the cake!
So the lovebirds returned empty handed.. And when we opened the cake box, Cherlyn spotted candles in there! We all went ballistic for a moment, laughing over our moment of folly.. haha. And it turned out that there were 19 candles! what a miracle, Wee didnt even tell the the person at Angie's Choice anything.
All in all it was a great night. Actually I would be contented just sitting down, hanging out with the gang. It gives me such a warm feeling everytime we do that. Just talking bout stuff and the good old days always makes my day..
See what i got for my bdae presents! Liverpool Jersey with Gerrard's name printed at the back, and Gerrard's autobiography! gosh its so filled with liverpool this yr, but of coz i'm elated! now i wanna buy the guy's version of the liverpool jersey to add on to my collection. Thx dears for getting me such a gd present!
Cherlyn wanted to get me a walking balloon dog as well, but thank god she didnt.. I cant imagine dragging that dog around the whole of Orchard. Ppl would think I'd never grow up..
And of coz, what would i do without my bestie.. I do everything with her, from shopping to discussing bout stuff on the phone blah. Thx so much girl, u better not forget me k. lol..
I love u all! =)

It was the last day of Exams on 23rd nov, so our class just had to go out and celebrate our new found freedom together. So off we went to Tung Lok Restaurant, where Kayee's father is the chef. One of the perks was that we had to pay much less for such gd food.
The food was not only gd, but the portions were huge! We even got to eat food like peking duck, abolone and ostrich meat.. The bill amounted to only about $22 per person.. What a bargain!
But of coz, what was class dinner without the usual photo-taking? We spent 3+ hrs at the Restaurant, and i think half the time was spent posing in front of numerous cameras. I swear the ppl in the restaurant were staring at us like we were live exhibits from some exotic country or something. I guess this was their first time seeing so many noisy young ppl taking photos at quite a high class restaurant..
Cheers to the end of A's!
Yup, you cant imagine the amount of photos we took.. This is just a small fraction of the total. This is probably the last class gathering we're gonna have before seeing each other again, so everyone was desperately trying to grab hold of every other person to take a picture. Cam-whoring was the highlight of the night..
The class photo marked the end of our great night spent together.. I have mixed feelings about not having any more lessons together with 26/05. I'll definitely miss them all. JC life would be so monotonous without these lively characters, every single one of them, not to mention my close buddies.. But these friendships were made to last, so i'll nv forget them..
But then of coz, i'm ecstatic that i dun have to touch anything that has to do with econs any longer. =)
i'm 18! last in the group to turn 18.. cant believe its gonna be 2 more yrs and i'll not be a teen anymore.
Had a great bdae with my dears, but am exhausted.. i hope someone would invent comfy heels that wont hurt your feet, so that shopping will be less tiring..
I'm too exhausted to continue sorting out the class outing photos and my bdae photos, so gonna do it tmr.. Thx again my dears, love u all! <3<3<3
[Looking forward to sis' return!]

OMG, i cant believe i'm done!! the last 15 min of my bio mcq paper was spent staring at the clock and wondering how long more would it be before the chief invigilator said 'pens down' for the last time..
The A's have been crazy.. its so exhausting and mentally draining as well. I swear the stress level is so high a new pimple pops up after every paper! i'm desperately trying to heal my pimples before tmr.. It feel a little weird not having to come back home to my notes and tys now. lol..
went out with the class to get a few belated bdae presents, and ended up getting surprised with one for myself. They bought me Steven Gerrard's Autobiography!! I screamed so loudly the moment i saw it, the other gp could hear me from some distance away. lol. i have the best classmates in the world! =) thx guys..
Am currently waiting for dear Cherlyn to come over so we can do some girl stuff. but that girl's late. So i'm just waiting. Gonna go for a class reunion dinner at Tung Lok later, cant wait!
Things to do: 1) SHOP! 2) Get a new hairstyle 3) Shop 4) Spend more time with Dad, Sis and nick. and kcc. 5) Catch up on my beauty slp and pray that the horrendous pimples will disappear. 6) Exercise! cant wait to get rid of all the fats that have accumulated. 7) Shop 8) Try to kick my addiction for caffeine without getting withdrawal symptoms 9) Pack my Room. Argh. 10) Shop 11) Go to Kleon's house for prison break Marathon 12) Check out the new Ikea 13) Catch up on movie-watching. [Happy Feet! penguins are so adorable. and of coz, Hugh Jackman's in it too.] 14) Spend more time Playing with dear Willow 15) Plan for HK, KL and Bangkok trip.
Ok thats it for now.. Thats still lots more but the list is never ending. I'm in such a gd mood today everything seems perfect. =)

WoohoO! only one more bio mcq to go on thurs.. so i can take a well deserved mini break for now. maybe i should start on my to-do list..
Christina Aguilera - Hurt
I love love thins song. Its my fav song right now..
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face You told me how proud you were but I walked away If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss and it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am? There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance To look into your eyes and see you looking back
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous It's so out of line to try to turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself
By hurting you

ok, so i'm more than halfway done.. just 2 more bio papers next mon and thurs. then i'll be totally free! argh. The A's have been so exhausting so far.. I dunno how i did, but i hope all's fine.
I have so many things i wanna do, but i'm not writing it down yet. It'll mostly consist of these:
I'm so envious of the physics ppl who had their last paper today.. Bio students always finish later man. And its hard to concentrate when images of me and Cherlyn dear shopping and stuff keep popping up in my head.. argh. she's done already, but she's gotta wait for me! lol
I cant wait for 23rd, where everything after that will seem exciting. Till now, the highlights of my monotonous day are lunch time, The Ellen Degeneres Show at 6pm (i nv miss it, love the show!), princess hours and bed time. God i love bedtime.
I've been so deprived the past yr.. but i'm gonna do the things i want next thurs. seriously cant wait!
Then we walked along Orchard Road while waiting for Wee Wee to arrive, (was so happy to see that girl! it as been so long since we met) admiring the pretty lights and the numerous busking acts.. Wee Wee was supposed to surprise me with the cake but I saw it heh.. Then there was this huge discussion on where to get the candles, coz apparently Wee forgot about them as she was in such a rush.
