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.

I was watching my TV just now and during the commercials, I saw this ad with two very serious guys talking. They are actually trying to rally people to vote against certain government decisions in a commercial sort of way!! I I was shocked.

Firstly, I was quite shocked by the how openly these opposition people are. I am startled by how free the media here is. Can you imagine Chee soon juan or some other oppositions start to appear in various commercials in Singapore, urging Singaporeans to oppose certain government decisions? The publicities given to him were mainly pictures of him in handcuffs, walking outside subordinate court etc. Not being able to appear on TV in a glamorous way, he has to resort to giving out flyers in NUS.

For your information, Singapore is ranked 140 out of 167 in terms of media freedom. However, as how our leaders put it, we should not be ashamed of it due to our economic prosperity. Oops. Did I just blurt out an answer scheme from social studies? Haha. I am not ashamed of the fact la. I mean I am just shocked.

But I guess Singapore is improving, given that we jumped 4 places from last year. Apparently, the news of mas selemat was being released as a straits times report got the information. Hence, the authority has no choice but to release the news too. Really? They could have prevented the reporter from reporting it but they didn’t. Don’t know why. Maybe they are giving some autonomy to our press? Don’t raise your eyebrows la. It’s a positive start la.

Woah!! Mas selamat is finally caught. If he decides to write a book about his life, I bet it will be a big hit. He can write about his numerous escapes, his exceptional talent in identifying opportunities to escape. I am really interested in how he managed to get out of Singapore. According to Straits times, he swam across the sea with some floatation device that he made. Cool. So all the causeway jam were for nothing. In the show prison break, Michael Scofield buried a diving gear near the beach and used it to swim across to somewhere too. Cool. J
Just wondering, apparently, mas selamat was caught in 1 April. So why did they only release the information today? Are they checking whether the mas selamat is the real one and not somebody in disguising mas selamat? I mean you never know. They are masters of disguise. I really can’t understand why they did not release the information earlier.

While reading this news, I happen to chance upon this while following comment thread on mas selamat. I don’t know how I ended up here too.

Last February, a USSPN Washington Regional Coordinator was present during a report given by an international lawyer from Singapore, Thio Su Mien (Su), who is gifted in prophetic intercession and healing. She shared about some of the things going on in the area of Indonesia before the tsunami.She explained how the SARS virus hit Singapore a year prior to the earthquake/tsunami. The Lord alerted the intercessors and told them that if they did not get on their faces and repent on behalf of their nation's involvement in abortion as the contraceptive of choice, that the land would suffer from His hand of judgment.

Don’t waste what you learnt in social studies. Do not form opinions straight away. That comment may not be meant for general public. Use your social studies skills and think carefully and form opinions after that. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I lost a friend or relative during the SARS if I happen to chance upon it as well. Well, I guess people are entitled to their opinions, whether the opinion is a responsible/sensible/helpful/extreme one or not. This comment reminded me about how my ah-ma will always attribute stuff to creative reasons. Like when I had a cough, she will say that it is because I did not switch off the main switch after I use my computer. Something like that. I will be irritated although I know she meant well. Just an interesting read. No offence huh.

I just got back from laser tag!! Whew, it was fun!!! Oh, it is a war game thing organised by our floor senior resident. You have to wear this laser vest thing and try to shoot your opponents' vest in the dark maze. It was really fun!! It is a floor thing so basically, my floor had to fight against the other floor. But my floor had too many people so we were split up. It was fun shooting my dodo neighbour. But they are really sneaky, kept sneak-attacking me from behind. They brought scarves and gloves thinking that the maze will be very cold. Haha. They are funny people. We went for ice cream after that. :)

I played this once with my class in Cidans bt batok in sg. It was really fun too!!! I think it costs quite a bit to play in sg. Here, it is 15 for 2 games. Haha. Should play together. very fun.
