I'll See You again, Sydney. In 2oo9.

I've been waiting to go back home since after the exams when all my friends left.
One month has passed; in just a blink of an eye.
And I'm boarding the plane in 14 hours.

Hello Singapore,
Goodbye Sydney.

Malaysia, you gotta wait for another 6 days :x

Latest loves.

Who: Main cast of Twilight
What: Photo shoot for Vanity Fair
Where: Thousand Oaks, California



Two very VERY good looking people: Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson



As if he's just supporting her with one hand




I love group photos like this :)


And I just found out Kristen Stewart is just 2 days younger than me.

I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole movie. Dang, I loved the way he stared at Bella.
Ed Cullen, you melted my heart!

I'm definitely up for round 2, anyone?

Black Horse and the Cherry Tree; KT Tunstall

Christine,
Stop shouting like Sharapova when playing badminton with people you've just met.
Played BAD-MIN-TON yesterday and now e whole body aches.

On the brighter side, just found out my Finals results. I must say, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Although I kinda expected my Accounts to be A+. Got A- instead sigh. But oh well, looks like I'm still heading towards UNSW after all.

Toodles.

Alison; Elvis Costello


I watched this last night; I didn't really comprehend the whole story plot. I blame on the heavily English accent. Well, it's an English movie alright. Likewise, I didn't really understand Rock And Rolla. Maybe because of me, coming from Malaysia, was so accustomed by the subtitles provided in the local theatres. Hence, expected explanations awaits from Arvind everytime we watched a movie in here in Sydney. And with him not around, Wikipedia was the solution C:

So Flawless, not bad, I reckon. Interesting storyline with a twist at the end. Well done Demi Moore on the accent.



****************
On the other hand, the much anticipated movie of the year has finally arrived. Not in Sydney, not yet. 11th Dec 11th Dec 11 Dec.
I had a dream, seemed so real; that's why I still could remember it. Dunno somewhere sometime, I was with Robert Pattinson. He came to me, knowing I had been staring at him for too long that he voluntarily took a photo with me. Must've been at his movie red carpet premiere. I was too stunned. Too stunned that no words came out from my big mouth. And I proudly posted that photo as my primary photo on FaceBook.
Sighh, dreams shall remain as dreams.
And the enviousness towards to that girl who got to kiss robert in the movie grows. *grins
Especially when she's my age. Younger, possibly.




Twilight baby I'm coming!

Goodbye, Goodluck

YumCha @ Addison Hotel. It's amazing how after so long this restaurant opened so long, we finally had a go with this place which is like the nearest eatery to UniLogde. Fortunately, the food WASN'T that bad. Acceptable, except the part where we had to wait for the food to arrive.

Sarah, I know you're an avid reader of this blog of mine, so all I wanna say is I really hope to see you next year. Your laughter and jokes bring joy to the table. Can't think of any other person to go crazy with; YOU!

Cassie, initially, I thought I had communication barriers with you, but now that I feel that my Mandarin skills has improved significantly, credits to you ;)

Winnie, my only HK friend whom I converse to in English. Probably because Arvind was around us all the time >.<>, so I expect to see you next year! :P [Hey, no pressure whatsoever ok XD]


**************************
Attempts to sunbathe with Qi Ying at BondiBeach failed as it is predicted that there'd be possible showers for these coming days.

I'll be Loving You Long Time; Mariah Carey feat T.I.

I saw this when I was at Taronga Zoo the other day with my friends.

Introducing Mr./Ms Red Panda!



Is there a word more powerful than the word 'cute'? Cos this little thing here is just beyond cute!

So while admiring this animal at the zoo, I asked my fellow friends why its name is called Red Panda. [Besides the fact that it also feeds on bamboo leaves]

Me: It looks more like a cat
Arvind: Well, maybe a panda fucked a red cat and ended up like this.

Question to wonder: Why all super cute animals are getting endangered/in the midst of being extinct?

E.g.: Panda bears, red panda, slow loris [which i personally got to pet when in Sandakan!!], polar bear, white tiger and all other little cutie animals whose names are just kinda weird.

********************

2 of my closest friends have officially left the country.

Arvind, I miss those times when you kept calling me 'stupid woman'. India is kinda not stable now. So please please don't get shot by some terrorist okay

Brian, have fun in Japan; try to resist your temptation on looking at hot jap chicks. And please take good care of yourself when you return to China

Hmm, it's pretty ironic how two of my besties are from India and China. And I'm from Malaysia. And Malaysia is like in the middle of India and China.
I mean, that's why the British conquered us right?


This is my gang:
Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, China, Macau, China

Guess who's back..

WOWOWOW.

Finally, after months and months of hard work, exams have finally completed! (last Thursday)
Phew, I can gladly claim that I tried my best doing those exams from one paper to another. Highest confidence: English! *fingers crossed* results will be out on the second week of Dec.

Anyways, have been spending some quality time with my close friends: from watching Bond to going to Fish Market to seeing animals in zoo. Memories have been made.

For most of you who are wondering, I'd only be back to KL on the 29th Dec. Yes, I know it's just 2 days away from the new year but hey, I wanna work and earn $. And then the guilty pleasure wouldn't be THAT guilty anymore: SHOPPING. (Aiya, why the ringgit value depreciates lah..)

BAD NEWS IS: The current economic status globally= RECESSION. People who study economics should know that the effects of this 'phenomenon:
low unemployment
low economy activities
low cash flow
low interest rate.

everything low low low. (think flo rida)

Okay, dammit, my economics lessons are coming back to my mind again.

So, even since before the exams started, I initiated a job hunt. First in Westfield, Eastgardens. Kinda lost count on the number of shops I went in and submitted my resume. But till today, NO REPLIES! [Note: if you don't wanna hire people, do not put up the notice for vancancies!]
Bummer right; considering the fact that I have prior experience working in Big Apple [nightmare] and I ALREADY BOOKED MY AIR TICKET. I mean, what am I gonna do if I ain't got job? 1 month@home =.=

Anyways, a close friend of mine is leaving for India tomorrow. Hope to see him for one last time.

Insatiable; Darren Hayes

So the results were out yesterday.
And i was kinda surprised of it, really.
Must put up twice the effort this semester.
No kidding.
Damn you Math :(

Out of spontaneity, 8 of us decided to spend an alcohol-free night at Sarah's and Cassie's. Helped to cook; dinner at 10pm XD
And played Mah Jong and poker for almost 12 hours. Crazy. Accidentally broke the rented Mah Jong table drawer, hoping the lady boss didn't notice it!

Sorry, not many photos taken :<



Anyways, this was last week at Lih Jing's 18th.

Dropped a piece of cake on my stockings. Whipped cream. Clumsiness speaks.
Oh yeah, I think I'll stop wearing stockings. I give up, seriously. After the 4th one tore X) And it'd tear whenever I first wear them. Hmmph.

Shit.

New York New York; Frank Sinatra


The X-Files theme song playing..


was what we watched after our Legal Studies paper on Thursday. Greater Union theatre on George St. Yesh, the X-Files 2: I Want To Believe has nothing to do with ghosts/spirits/alien etc, surprisingly. Got to do with psychic though. The 2 main characters still looked the same. Didn't really age [ie Mulder and Scully]

Some 2 dudes actually made a scene in the cinema. Shouting at each other. Think they had a fight outside the cinema afterwards. Interrupting the show. Bastards.

Before that, we went to Apple Store which was also on George St. Omg the Apple building was so mesmerising. So pretty.


Took this where we were seated.

Brian getting his iPhone fixed @ the Genius Bar. Cool eh

Meet my friend, Arvind, from India who claimed he can speak 6 languages. He's funny. Period.

Less gay.

More gay.

So the conclusion of the day, CHRISTINE STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED BATMAN T.T

3 MORE PAPERS to go!!

Wednesday, 23 July 2008

If I Were You; Hoobastank

'Put your pens down.'

was I heard when I was shading my last answer on the multiple choice paper. Two papers have finished and I had insufficient time to double check my answers; TWICE.
Let's hope it wouldn't be the same for tomorrow's legal studies.

I guess I'm not used to the new timing for each paper. Besides English, all the other subjects are just 1.5 hours. Back in the SPM days where most of the subjects were minimum 2 hours.
And I don't like the head of invigilator. I think she's kinda prejudice towards the boy sitting in front of me. Apart from scolding him yesterday, she penalized him today because he was still shading his last few answers when she announced that we had to put our pens down.

Really hope she doesn't become my new Math lecturer/tutor in Sem 2 :X

2 papers down, 4 to go.

Me wanna watch Batman!!

Monday, 21 July 2008

The Scientist, Coldplay

I'll be damned if I don't score an A for Economics.
Oh well, I guess writing 19 pages of Econ notes was just to cover up my guilt of not preparing at a much earlier stage.

Countdown to first paper: 20 hours.

Wish me luck.

Grand Theft Autumn; Fall Out Boy


Yeah, went for a volunteer work at my school yesterday. It was called the Red Shirt volunteer. 6 including myself from my class and a few more from other classes participated. Needless to say, the main reason on why we joined was to get our hands on the free food. Surprisingly, the food was GOOD. Damn satay was deliciousss. Yumyum.

It was kinda fun I guess. Cept that part where we had to walk from lower campus to upper campus [twice!] Showed these newbies around the area like where the lectures area held etc.
So we made friends with a lot of people. Majority are still from China. Hong Kong, not many. Introduced myself to a Korean, Japanese, Vietnameses, Indonesians and Russian.

Here's a random conversation I had with this Russian dude, Alex.

Me: Hey, how do you say 'My name is Christine in Russian'?
Alex: Christina.
Me: REALLY?? THAT'S SHORT :S

And my friend Ursula asked: What about 'My name is Ursula'?

Alex: Nah, there's no such name in Russian.

LMAO.
Most photos to be uploaded when I try to get it from Belinda [student advisor]

Countdown to Semester 1 examinations: 4 days.

High Voltage, AC/DC

So I once had a friend. Not a close one though. Fine, I shall categorize her as my 'acquaintance' when I was in primary school. I did not like her, and I guess that was ok cos not many people liked her as well. Well, it's kinda common sense that people don't like a person due to his/her attitude. 'Thanks' to FaceBook, she found me, and I wasn't sure if that was a good news. Reluctantly, I clicked accept.
Then one day when I logged in, where the homepage showed all the latest updates and what not, I read what she wrote on a friend's wall. That friend was from the same school as the both of us as well.
This was what she wrote:

"hey is ur LV bag original or fake?...coz the white one looks really really really fake...lol...im an LV fanatic so im very observant"

Of course, the first impression I had on that question of hers was like wtf? Initially, when I viewed her profile, her so-called shout out would be 'cant wait to get more LV bags n Dior sunnies.' Immediately, I knew that she was the most materialistic person I've ever encountered in my life. Apart from smoking ciggies giving the 'omg, i'm so dumb even though i'm not blond look' she also posed with Gucci paper bags in public toilet to avoid embarrassment in one of her profile photos.

It's so ironic when back in the days, she asked me 'Eh, I really have to pay your mom back for lunch ah?' And I kinda remember her calling me a bitch cos I asked a mutual friend to ask her for my money back she owed me. I'm really okay with people borrowing money from me, but if it was habitual and not returning it voluntarily, it's a big NONO.

If one day I bumped into her which I definitely hope it would not happen, seeing she carrying her precious Gucci/LV, I would ask her 'Wah you strike lottery ah?' and walk off.

Advice, get a life. Use it, trust me. You'll thank me.
Seriously despise LV worshipping people.

It's so cold, it hurts.

Maybe She had higher Expectation.

Countdown to Sem 1 exams: 12 days.

The excruciating pain of revising math for more than 4 hours.
Countdown to Sem 1 exams: 25 days.


*********


Looking forward to watch:


Saw the trailer. Looks kinda cool. Especially when you've got James McAvoy in it. Yummy.

Warning: This show might not be suitable for realists. It's just a movie. So don't mumble to yourself in the cinema complaining Yeah right. Right. HAHA, as if la etc. You'll get what I mean when you watch it.


Fun Fact: Christine hasn't watched any shows in the cinema since arrived in Sydney.

Kindly Unspoken; Kate Voegele

Greetings readers.
I had a terrible 'nightmare' last night. Woke up twice in the night. That means two different nightmares in a night.

Nightmare no.1
Mr Austin, my form 5 Science teacher, was very very very with me in the class. LIKE REAL ANGER. It happened in the my 5 Omega 'o7. I think I offended him and he took it really seriously. Which is a true nightmare cos in real life, that won't likely to happen [He offended me all the time] LIKE EVER. If you were my classmate, you should know better.

He taught us more than just Science. He invented the word 'sexercise'



Nightmare no.2
I helped a kidnap case to take place. And the victim was my younger friend who was about 7 or 8 years my junior. That's like a 11 year old girl. I'm not gonna elaborate it on it cos it would sound really silly. Of course, I felt horrible after that.

Shots taken: 5:35pm
