A taste of home

14th May 2009 (Thursday)

7.10am
Mid-week and tonnnnneeeessssssss of work to do. that aside.

Day 2: 04.05.2009 (Monday)
I walked in the cold to attend an hour of lecture, where i was asleep 3/4 of the time right infront of the lecturer. Decided to skip the next two lectures for the rest of the day. The weather wasn't really kind to me as it was pouring slightly when I was about to leave the campus. By the time i took an umbrella from Valerie and was this close to walking out of the shelter, the rain left and the sun came. i love the weather here.



'seriously, go missing again, giving me weird calls at weird hours, having your phone battery die on me again..whatever it is, when it has got to do with him again, i will be there to slap you awake.' and no, im not giving up on you despite your random actions. hugs. mcDonalds anytime :)


A piece of home came to me.
Not one, but in three.

From left: Two of my closest aunt who knows me inside out, seen me from diapers to bras and panties. The one with the biggest smile, who gave me my round face, who turned my closet inside out, who made sure i had everything i need, who would fly alll the way here to make sure i was ok, who is here to pamper me and give me the freedom to eat whatever i want while she's here - my mom.


Day 3: 05.05.2009 (Tuesday)
Busy busy day. But i ended the day with mom and both my aunts in Claypot King. Today, i realize how lucky i am. I forgot how cold and tiring it can be waiting for the bus and walking from bus stop to home. Full Stop. Because the food was awesome..



CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM CLAYPOT RICE IS SUPER DUPER YUMMY! mom says it's better than the ones back home :S


AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! check out my cheeksssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! i gained a few kg's on the cheeks. I MUSTTTTTTTTTTTTT GO TO THE GYM! *sobs*


Day 4: 06.05.2009 (Wednesday)
Another day of falling asleep during lecture. Whats new. *yawn*



Had Fish&Chips delivered 40km to Clayton made the day seem brighter :)
Terima Kasih :D

Dinner prepared by my aunt, the chef. yum yum.





Nothing better than a homecooked meal. Especially when it is your aunt and mom preparing the meal.

What's for dinner? Nasi Lemak with curry chicken. From the rice to the egg to the anchovies to the sambal to the curry chicken to the papadam. damn i miss malaysian food. :(

Another night of last minute work.



Hello, this is me + pimples.





nites!



PS: Ben, for you. ;) Project 365 is still on!


Day 5: Thursday (07.05.2009)

Guilt Guilt Guilt

I think i ate too much. leftover curry chicken, nasi lemak and anchovies for dinner eventhough i dont feel the need to it.
So, do you eat because you have to? or do you eat because you're hungry?
Now you know where those chubby cheeks came from.

Received results on previous test. Another reason for me to cry. Another reason for me to quit. :( yes i know i should do something about it instead of being upset and dwell in the sadness.

THE WEEK IS ENDING.
my mom and both my aunt are heading back to Malaysia on Monday :(
good news is i'll be done (hopefully) with 2 of my lab reports by 5pm tomorrow. only one more lab report to go!
sad news is i've got not enough time to study for my upcoming test! i will make time for it. must must must. but i want to spend time with mom and Jup's wedding is this Sunday! omg i got so much to do! apparently next semester would be a lot easier. really?

*10mins break from report writing is over*


How we spent Thursday in the library copying solutions for assignment.
and so the life of a lazy student.



Day6: Friday (08.05.2009)
It's a wrap!
5.11pm. My housemate/groupmate/coursemate, YiMei and I made it to the pigeon holes and threw in both our reports which was supposedly due at 5pm :S
Ok. lets not talk about how we didnt get to sleep

Mom bought dinner for Dad's friend's kids in Melbourne. Yes, there's quite a few of us here.

After dinner, i brought mom and aunts to Crown. Sorry Dad, your turn will come when you come over for a visit :) I think Crown is the only place my Dad remembers. im sure you know why.



Mom in Crown. tsk tsk.



Waiting for the train in Flinders Station.
weird encounter: some old lady came by and scolded us for not boarding the train. Sorry ma'am, i cant read Pakenham. Thank you.

Despite the sleepless nights rushing for deadlines, i was happy to have spent time with mom and aunts :)


Day 7: Saturday (09.05.2009)
Brunch at Shark Fin house!


The first few, where i manage to take a picture of.
Dim Sum was gooddddddddddd :)

Thank you Marcus for the car.
Thank you Ben for the rescue.

Day 8: Sunday (10.09.2009)
21 years ago, she showed me the world.
She is my strength.
She is my courage.
She is my reason.
She cooked.
She cleaned.
She fed.
She is my personal doctor/nurse.
She is the elder sister i never had.
She is my friend.

The one i love and none can compare to.


She is my mom.


Blessed Mother's Day mummy :)

I love you soooooooo much!

im glad you're here with me on this special day :)


In conjunction with mothers day, it was a close friends wedding.
Did i mention that i played bridesmaid for the first time?
Fun Fun Fun!



Congratulations Maryvn and Jup!

I STILL CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE MARRIED TEH JU-PING!!!!!!!!!

Day 9: Monday (11.05.2009)
The morning before they left for the airport, i decided to cook breakfast for them.
Errr...nothing fancy.
BUT, the effort counts yea? Hee..




Mom's hair was tied up like it always is back at home cause she helped clean the kitchen for a bit. Hey, once a mom, always a mom. no matter where she is.
and i love her for that :)

Today, is also the day that i LOST MY PENDRIVE!!! *cries* :'(
evidently, i lost all my files saved for this semester and all the reports and assignments that i've completed so far are all GONE!
just because im miss careless having to leave the pendrive behind when i left the library's computer area.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
what happened to good soul's who'll pass my pendrive to the lost and found counter :(


sad things aside, i went to Max Brenner's for tea after i left the library, wayyyyy before i realize that my pendrive of 4months old is missing :( SIGH.

oh well, here you go, Max Brenner!




Waffle topped with chocolate :)))))
terima kasih banyak banyak.


Day 10: Tuesday (12.05.2009)
CHE 3165 test is tomorrrowww!!!!

sat in the library, feeding ourselves with all the materials on the unit tested until we get kicked out of the library.
You know it's time to leave when they switch off the lights before you leave the premises.
We were in a mess alright.





Day 11: Wednesday (13.05.2009)
I walked out the exam hall feeling like a piece of shit.
I couldnt come up with a reason on why should i sacrifice my time and sleep to study when the outcome is always the same.

No time to waste, because i have another test, like, tomorrow.




On a brighter side, it is also today that i came upon this while browsing through fashion blogs.

A collaboration between Onitsuka Tiger and Mini Cooper.*click*

RM 499 for a pair.

my hands are itching, my heart says i must get hold of the pair in white.
the design is not something i would normally go for, but heck, it's a collection collaborated with MINI.
How can i not get one?

time to eat instant noodles and scout for a pair in Melbourne :p

errrrrrrrmmmm....my birthday is in a few months time yea ;)
