Had a national day celebration HERE yesterday!! :) My friend were asking me to go down to campus to watch the parade together. but it's far and cold. then i realised my hall has a similar event!! so i went down with my non-singaporean friends :)

hai but i forgot to bring camera!! so no pictures!!

Lots of people prepared food. It was supposed to be a potluck. People cooked nasi lemak, pandan cake, oneh oneh, mee siam, curry chicken, hokkien mee and a lot more. i think they are great!! dunno where they learn how to cook all these chim stuff.

I went in and started eating. It was a warm feeling to see so many singaporeans gathered in a cosy room, eating homecooked stuff. Those NDP songs were being played in the background. I had goosebumps when "home" was played. It reminded me of singapore so much. It suddenly struck me that i miss singapore very much. haha. maybe i miss singing the song to people in singapore.

Then the parade started. I have not watched the parade for so many years. Normally, i will be out or sth. This year, the parade is boring as usual. No offence to the participants. I mean the show is great but not my cup of tea. Esp the display of millitary power in the first part. I think they should scrap it off. People died from it a few years ago. They should divert precious resources to catching people like mas selemat, instead of putting up a show.

My non-singaporean friend feels that our NDP is like clubbing. I think she has never been to a club tho. hahaha.

It was a very different NDP for me. woo i feel that i have just written a primary school essay titled "My national day". Hope i will get A for being so frank.

haha i just went running to mt ainslie with my australian friend. So as we were cooling down and walking back... Our conversation:

aloy: oh so your parents are teachers? that's explains why you are such a Mr nice. I insulted you like all the time and you don't really insult me.

(not that he can win me if he started an insult war with me. My friend gave me his usual "dunno what's going on" look)

friend: oh no. i have some friends who have an odd sense of humour. it's entirely different from mine.

(he's refering to me!! and PEOPLE! I TOLD U ALL THEY CANT GET MY JOKES!! hai!)

aloy: so are you saying i am odd?

friend: no no...!!! my other friends are odd.

(remember i told u he is really nice. he just refuse to admit that he thinks i am odd)

Ok i shall be not make fun of him all the time. he cant get my jokes anyway. i am doomed to be the "trying to be funny but odd" guy here.

P.S i feel like giving people a course on singapore humour.

hehe tmr i am going for laser tag again!!!! hm this time round i am be more careful. cannot allow my slow-reaction yet cunning neighbour kill me. :)

Sunday there's a NDP parade and people are asking me to go. honestly, i don't even watch the ndp in singapore. and it start at 9pm in ANU. it means it will be really cold! i am not that keen to go although it will be an opportunity to wear my scarf that i bought from china. (btw i don't wear scarf in the day time. too extra) guess i just see how's my mood. but the thot of people singing stand up for singapore there is quite off. i dunno what they will do.

Oh i am taking a module that requires me to use lots of excel and do lots of analysis. it is killing me as i am quite a computer-idiot. btw, i stilll have not figured out how to upload the whole album onto facebook.

Ai i am blogging rubbish as usual. but as my work has not piled up yet, i have time to blog rubbish. so stay tuned :)

Feel like sharing how i feel!

I think I am having a great start for semester 2. Considering last semester around this time, I was still living on instant noodles and canned food. I am eating much better now. I have been quite HAPS ever since I came back.

1. Celebrated my friend’s birthday yesterday.
2. Went for yum cha in Canberra by the lake/reservoir thing. YES!! We have dimsum here. Like maybe 1 or 2 restaurants.
3. Did some shopping at dfo.
4. Went for drag night/dread night. Haha it was fun la.
5. Random cooking sessions with friends
6. Planning to celebrate another birthday tmr
7. AND I AM GOING FOR INTERNATIONAL BALL ON SAT. if I can get tickets. The theme is red carpet. So my friends have already geared up etc. got their dresses and high heels etc etc. I will probably wear my casino royale suit
8. I got a running buddy who runs with me to mt Ainslie twice a week

I think I am more HAPS for these 2 weeks than the whole of last semester. Yea!

YES I AM BACK IN AUSTRALIA!!
WE JUST HAD THE CRAZIEST, MOST VOMIT-INDUCING THING!!

My hall had a drag night party just now!!! it was hilarious.
Here are some pictures!!

It all started with...

Andrew, (if you are reading this), i am sorry i had to put you in my blog cause you look hilarious!! You shouldn't wear such low cut dress when you have so much chest hair. hahahaha. My friend sophie actually did the "cat eye" make-up look for him.

Here's the end product. Not very clear but still hot.

More random pictures!!

It's strange to look at guys with moustach etc, and looking very broad, in puny dresses.

Erm here's a back view. His dress is falling apart.

And front view!! haha. oh the girl is my neighbour. i called her michael jackson tonight.



Cute handbag.

Bikini babe there.

oh there's a nurse. And a bunny girl at the background. not very visible tho.

Check this out!!

Woooh.. I had not blogged for so so long!! I was so busy. I was leading a fulfilling life. I had exams. That’s not the fulfilling part. I went to Sydney and Melbourne with huiquan. I must say I love both cities. I always assume Australia to be like Canberra, which is quiet, serene, calm and nice. Its tranquillity gradually turned into being plain boring. I think the super market in the shopping centre nearby is the most happening place in Canberra. Ok, I should stop complaining about the lack of activities here.

I went to Sydney when huiquan first arrived. It was a really fun experience being in Sydney as for once, more than 30 people are within my view in Australia. We went to sydney fish market
nd had picnic by the sea. We had lobster, oyster, snapper, prawns etc etc and beer by the sea. We sat on the grass. In singapore, i dont think people are very willing to sit on grass as there are ants la, mud la etc etc. But in australia, it's like a norm. You have to sit on grass to feel australian.

We went to the opera house and the harbour bridge after that.


Sydney oper house really looks magnificient, in postcards. When we saw it in person, it is not that grand. The structure is interesting but it is not very well maintained i think. From close-up, i thought that it look like ministry of manpower in tanjong pagar. Harbour bridge is nicer :)


Oh then we went to melbourne on the following week. MELBOURNE IS VERY NICE. haha i like it a lot. It was so so fun. I feel like i was trapped in Tekong, and released into pasir ris white sands. But melbourne is a really nice city. Buildings very european, shopping is really good. They have this street called colin st which is a small alley with all the small cafes, restaurants and shopping etc.


I have always wanted to visit sydney and melbourne ever since i was young. It is quite surreal that i can just take a bus over.


I stayed near a beach in melbourne. On my last day, i realised that i can actually see penguins on the beach if i am there at the right time!!! So we did not see any penguins although we could hear them. They were hiding in the rocks by the time we went there. But we saw other types of birds la.

These few weeks is the most amazing period i had here in australia. I will never forget the time i had. It was really fun and memorable. But when i came back, i had to start preparing for exams!! which was like a week away. haha.

Woo i havent been blogging. I guess i will not be blogging anytime soon as i am having exams. I know most people done with exams le! hope u all are having fun. And hope those who are working will enjoy their work. wish me luck. haha. i just forgot to do a 8 mark question just now. hai.
