i don't wanna fight no more
i forgot what we were fighting for



the outdated post.

stuck without internet for one week plus, was.. torturous. well, the GREAT REVELATION: i took the flight last night, and i arrived this morning. all i can say is, THE WEATHER IS KILLING ME! bleahh.

and, i must add. diana who cooks great healthy okonomiyaki and yijun my life saver! greatly appreciated.

truly meaningful lyrics (maybe used over and over again) !

all my bags are packed
i'm ready to go..


Michael Buble - Home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well, I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone elses life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

tell me that we belong together
dress it up with the trappings of love





yes, not only am i a selfproclaimed Men's Bitter Chocolate. im pretty much, everyone's taste of bittersweet. HAH. ;)

SHIT, im being retarded. try hard to ignore that obvious selfpraise. anyway, when i was studying psych i thought of this: have you ever thought about how you judge everyone? whether you see someone begging, old, gothlike, cute etc.. arent you alr labelling the person? so, how can you view someone with a TOTALLY non-biased judgement when the moment you see that person you've alr attached some idea you have. i dont think its possible to ever be without a label, since we also cognitively label our emotions (two-factor theory, which i agree on). so, how can it be stopped?

i have a solution! hahaha. the not-so-budding psychologist here suggests that since we cant stop ourselves from 'labelling' ppl.. change it into a positive judgement rather than negative. then at least, we will be less prejudiced.
yes no?

next time someone comes up to you, he/she could just be the person who'll help you; be your knight in shining armour; princess; your lucky star! or not. hahaha! (:

note: im not keen on practising what i 'preach'.

when im supposed to be studying media&communications youtube caught my eye. and, I LOVE LEONA FROM X-FACTOR. for those who dont know, x-factor is the british form of idol with weird forms of auditions and judges like Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. lemme show you!



and when she sang this (below) she was diagnosed with tonsillitis! and this is her second song of the night? woah, i hope she wins!


yepp, THAT was my ultimate distraction from studying. PLUS, i was on this trying-to-kill-myself strawberries diet. for 72hours, i ate a total of four boxes of strawberries + almonds + loads of water + three cups of tea + milk. IM FINALLY DONE WITH THAT CRAP. first time i ever tried dieting, SUCKS BAD. rahhhh!

so, this is what m&c does to you. haha. what crap going through my head.. disneymurdochbrandspopcultureviolenceglobalisationadvertising

don't stop, move your body
rock this party



WARNING!! content and picture overload, naturally.

how shall i start?
okay, drama performance exams were pretty daunting! we practiced quite abit before performing, and i got slapped till i had a headache. -_-" retarded face, i know. but, it just says all. i swear, if anyone slaps me for whatever reason except drama. the person will just DIE. bleahh. anw, i guess, we were moderately satisfied chaiying(jamie), oh sheng(bob), jason and i.

for shashi's birthday (i dont have a pic of him), my brother got him a cheapo shirt? and shashi got him nike shades, how cheapskate can my bro get! anyway, i bought him a sigg bottle cos he has a really lousy waterbottle. smart aye! we went Fix the night before, WOAH! NO SMOKING INSIDE!! HURRAY!
HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY SHASHI!! ((:

for cherie's birthday we went Mecca Bah for dinner. there were eleven of us, and the portions were too small. but i like the food there! headed over to College Square to cut her cake. in an attempt to come up with an innovative idea to hand her her gifts, we left the bag outside the door. AND CLEVER CHERIE, walked right past. thinking it was dontknowwho's. anyway, we got her a beach tote, paul frank towel, tanning oil, after-tan aloe vera gel and a lovely card made by yours truly! heh.
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY CHERIE!! ((:

hope you had a great time.

the start of exams:
-for lit the text was Othello.. wasnt too bad i hope. cos i wrote under the word limit, by 300 words? gosh, at times like this. i really wish "Quality over Quantity" will help! -prays.

-for History of Ideas (explained in previous entry), luckily maggie helped me with the essay. or i'd be some kinda dead duck/chicken/poultry alr. but, i was dozing off after one and a half hours? what can you expect with two hours of sleep! ): Oh God, Please help me! -prays harder.

-Maths was.. baaad. i devoted most of my time on practising etc. and it was REALLY REALLY tough! rahh.

-EAP was a slack exam. heh.

-Econs was A GONER for sure. for my short-answer section, i only answered two questions. the other six, i RE-WROTE the question down = one line answers. and my 'essay', was one-third of a page SHORT. i have got to brush up on that, ele i hope you still have your notes!

-Psych today. i didnt really focus on Maslow and humanistic perspective.. so my answer wasnt really, faultless. i can only hope for the best.

-Lastly, M&C to go on dec 5...

i dont know. i wasnt very convinced that i was ready for the exams, but they come whether you're prepared or not anyway. i just think that, maybe
my best just wasnt enough...

oh, in addition. for lit, hoi and eap i had to sit next to this FUCKER, WHO WOULDNT STOP SHAKING HIS FUCKING LEGS. bloody hell irritating, distracted me like crap. asshole.

pictures from Trinity '06. oh, and cos i was too lazy to adjust the brightness&contrast some of the pics look way dark. hahaha, i just chunked them together.
my m&c classmates, yijun(itchy), aiming(amina/gothgirl) and linette. oh, the second row second pic is chin yap and annie from drama. i think annie and stephanie(first row last pic) are sweet (not that the others arent)! anyway, i once thought stephanie was from Russia but she's from Indonesia heh. :p


my EAP class! and our class party table in the center.


the teachers! jonathan barlow[HoI], Jane Garton[EAP], vandana[Econs], lit tute, math tute Bell Foozwell[Maths, my mentor], M&C tute Ron Bell and Mike Heald[Lit] (clockwise from left). Mike's from England i used to think he was freaking boring with an ultra monotonous voice. but, wahh, he's so charming! ahhh, -swoons.


pics w/o me inside. hahaha.


just more photographs! lazy to name all.


before i forget, dont say i dont share. i am ever-so generous recently! I Know by Drake Bell is damn fucking nice (vulgarity used for emphasis) !! out of five ppl i've intro-ed to, three are ADDICTED to it! heh. the other two, i didnt ask. doesnt matter luh, BOTTOMLINE: the songs i intro are bloody nice! YAY! ((:
naturally. -head growing bigger

I'll be back, soon.

ele: dont worry, enjoy your prom! iloveyou, my darling! you'll be pretty in green. (:

Thursday, November 16, 2006, 04:02 a.m.

dance everybody
make it hot in this party



updates soon!
- last day of Trinity College Foundation '06
- drama performance exam
- today is shashi's birthday !
- tomorrow is cherie's birthday !

this will take awhile, i've got loads of things to catch up on. i'll update when im actually free, which will probably be after my psych paper. hopefully earlier! (:

RAHHH! exams, my albatross. ):

EDIT:
Dear God,
I've been a good girl. Well, quite. But, I'm trying my very best to churn/conjure/concoct ideas and plans for tomorrow's HoI exam. Essay on Enlightenment (I chose Jean Jacques Rousseau) and two periods (I chose Classical Greece and The Renaissance and Scientific Revolution). Please don't be angry that I just killed a fly, it was on my hand while I'm typing this. I'm sorry. I really need a good mark for this to get into Comm/Arts. I've been helping myself also, but all I'm really asking for is just a little push in the right direction. I'm lost! Really, I am. Please guide me. Thank you!

Love, the girl who prays when in serious need.

Sunday, November 12, 2006, 01:58 a.m.

get your sexy on
go ahead be gone with it



had dinner at lyn's place, her mummy cooked!! YUMMY! ((: but, cherie, ning and i ate a late lunch. heh, so we were kinda full. :p

after much deliberation and driving around, by adi of course, we watched Saw III at Hoyts. WAHH, FREAKING SCARY, GROSS AND GORY CAN! but, still a really cool show with a very interesting plot which remains constant. definitely disgusting and unique on how they can think up and construct different torturing devices each time.



more math awaits me. there's still history of ideas, literature, psychology, media&communications and economics too. the horror, the stress and the happiness/relief/goodbyes which comes after it all. :) ? :( ?

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY STEPH !! (:



hey love,
im talking to you on the phone now, and you're wasting my money. as usual. "you're wasting your money on the prick who forgot your birthday, while listening to her come up with superlame reasons trying to redeem herself" (yepp, thanks for feeding me the line)! i called you at 7am at your time. how cool is that? let me recall: you were at DISNEYLAND on my birthday AND YOU MESSAGED ME TO TELL ME YOU REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY two days before. yeah yeah, stranded in LA blahblah. anyway, i hope you'll like the present i got you. heh. and, this will be just one of our many 'classic' moments:

steph: hey, you know what i got you for your birthday right?
mel: yes, a snowglobe! hahaha.
steph: remember the time you called me (today), saying that maybe i should buy you snowglobes for ten years?
mel: yes, i remember. i regret.

HAHAHA! no, i wont. i'll like whatever you get me! hee hee. and, its awfully funny how you try to clear your name when you're threequarters asleep wondering what is this crazy woman saying (including doing hot bachelors)! once again,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING! (:
love, mel. (:
p/s: this is YOUR colour combination.
pp/s: yes, CA-LI-FOR-NI-A. i got it.

Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 09:04 p.m.

i'll keep you my dirty little secret
don't tell anyone, or you'll be just another regret



oh, i look like fatcrap inside ALL of the prom photos i've seen. ):

I really dislike Probabilty!

srsly, what is the point of learning that? so that next time there is a firedrill in a bank, i can calculate the expected number; variance; standard deviation of people who will know the bank is CLOSED?! wth.

im walking to the bank, and there's a firedrill.
I WHIP OUT MY CALCULATOR, and quickly punch in the average number of people per 30minutes. HUH?

okay, fine. some may argue that probabilty can be used in other aspects of life. for example, OH, dices?

RAHHHH!

just probabilty is fine, but what's with:
- Conditional Probabilty
- Binomial Distribution
- Hypergeometric Distribution
- Geometric Distribution
- Poisson Distribution
- Normal Distribution
- Approximating the Binomial Distribution

WHAT THE F***! how to differentiate amongst all the distributions. argh! i really dont know how i'll be able to score well for this exam, which is worth bloody 65%? furthermore, what about my other subjects? how to get into melb uni. CRAP LUH. ):

anyway, chaiying and i went around taking pics with people! will put the pics up sometime later, when im done collating. last 'week' what. then comes the emotions of not wanting this to end, but i really want to go back. YEAH, mixed emotions. DILEMMA. :s

Sunday, November 5, 2006, 10:37 p.m.

all of the things that i want to say
just aren't coming out right



friday: prom night! i didnt spend a single cent on my dress + makeup + hair, which feels good. hahaha. and i styled chua's hair.

lyn, ning and cherie's hair, makeup and outfits looked really fabulous! prom was at Grand Hyatt Savoy Ballroom, they were actually playing non-classical music! hahah, with really scripted MC lines; three-course meal; competitions (like 'glitzy male/female' and 'dance') and cherie and i sitting there 'waiting to be photographed with'. because we didnt bring our cameras! wont we look stupid if we found friends but said "eh, i didnt bring my cam. care to take a pic with yours?" what the. what if the person doesnt want to take with me how? HAHAHA! well, i was stuffing myself with bread. which was really quite boring and un-ladylike.

went platform one first, for about half and hour? it really looks like an underground tunnel, plus it was JAMPACKED with people. then hush, OH MY GOD. trance music? wth. it was terrible, haha. the people look like they were on drugs when they were 'shuffling'? WHAT JOKERS.

a really really unfortunate thing happened, and i feel damn bad! ): sorry cherie! i am so so sorry, i wish i could punch the jerk up. i would if i could turn back time and im dead serious. no one messes with my friend!
SO SORRY! ):

then went chillipadi, woahh. gangfight sial! hahaha, wasnt THAT serious.

studied till three am last night (sunday morning) with ning, lyn and adi. last time we can do that since adi and lyn's mums' are here. but, we had fun while it lasted. (:

spent today with ning running errands. stoned at starbucks. it had such a stone-y atmosphere. and we've got more stuff to do tomorrow.. which i cant rmb. HAHAHA! oh, something really really embarassing happened during dinner though :p



everytime you come close, it makes me feel secure. but on the other side is someone who holds the strings to your heart. in a minute, you're gone. that feeling lingers, while my heart shatters. you're gone.


i think i like you, i think.

Wednesday, November 1, 2006, 12:13 a.m.

everybody needs a little time away
from each other



HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY ELEANOR !! (:



hey dear,
i really miss you and the times we spent together, especially before i left. i cant wait to see you again! dont think that this message is short because i have nothing else to say, but all that i want to say. has to be said, personally. and what more can i say, besides SIX YEARS! only you understand the pre-18 jitters/emotions i had. im glad you like your present! looking forward to having fun, hanging out, making friends and enjoying the holidays with you! (:
love, mel. <3
p/s. sorry, i just had to crop my face out. heh, not nice!



jan, i miss you. i really do.


i really hate putting on fronts, yet im getting better at it.
Let's Play Pretend.

Monday, October 30, 2006, 08:36 p.m.

after all that we've been through
i will make it up to you, i promise to



is anyone ever truly happy?

has jealousy, angst and the art of deceit engulfed a whole or even a part of me? i wonder.

i guess that's what walking home alone in the cool air does to you. by the way, you've succeeded in making me be increasingly wary of you. distance is probably good, politics. if you're reading this thinking "she cant be talking about me." hell yeah, its you then.

on a lighter note: my brother's buying nando's for me! :) growing fatter and thinking of zoo's by the minute. dont you lust after what you cant get? sour grape theory, proven in this case.

Friday, October 27, 2006, 05:53 p.m.

i go around a time or two
just to waste my time with you



THANK YOU lyn, cherie and ele for letting me disturb you with my recent emo-ness. i guess its coping with the up-and-coming exam stress, being able to go back soon and just whatever nonsense i can come up with. SORRY!

lately, there has been two irritations. they're related, somewhat. in accordance with my bitchy mood: i recommend that one should buy a thinking device and the other, a life (or at least, a social etiquette book).

wanting to jump head first into a pool of troubles, is disastrous. but, isnt there something alluring about doing so? okay, im definitely referring to affairs of the heart. so, is there really "love at first sight" or are 'feelings' accumulated from constant interaction with the same particular person. i believe, its the chemistry. the feeling that you just know that maybe, that's THE ONE.

so how about the one who catches your interest?

on the other hand, there's the kind of girls. who just have the luxury of suitors waiting-in-line or just that one cute guy who likes her. HOW MYSTICAL AND UNFAIR, i call the use of black magic! however, they do not deserve mentions in my pitas (which i just did, fine catch me contradicting myself).

"you didnt give me time to pick up remnants of my broken heart, littered all over the place."



is wanting to relish the feelings of a broken heart, sadistic?
i think not.


yes, the truth hurts. very much.
endless teevee and food, the cure for any emotion.

Monday, October 23, 2006, 09:50 p.m.

i believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when i sleep



i couldnt sleep from one to about four am last night. you know how your eyes are closed, but you know that you're awake. damn tired the whole day! ): and barlow got angry cos we seemed distracted.

i think, every minute there's someone making a decision, be it personal choices, life changing or world influencing. doesnt it make everyone, namely me, seem more insignificant than ever? i dont know, maybe.
remember the old saying? something like, "you may mean nothing to the world. but to someone, you are the world." okay, whatever. SOMETHING like that. i have no idea why that crossed my mind.

i got this poem from drama class today, found it really funny and entertaining! ohh, my drama is going pretty well. yay.

Prison Alphabet

Behind the walls
the walls begin,
behind the bars
are bars
A can make a knife of tin
B can cut out stars
C can get you what you want
a needle, drink or smoke
D can laugh through broken teeth
E can tell a joke
F can fake a heart-attack
G can throw a fit
H can write a letter home
as quick as you can spit
I can con the chaplain
J can con the 'con'
K will know someone to ask
just where your wife has gone
L can keep an eye out
M can pass the word
N can hear the gospel truth
and then forget he heard
O will know which warder
can be got at - and the price
P will offer nothing
but a lot of free advice
Q will want no part of it
R will not be told
S will roll a cigarette
and shudder with the cold
T will hum a lonely tune
U wil turn his back
V will lie as still as death
W will crack
X will read his bible
day by holy day
Y with eyes like torches
will burn the bars away
and Z, poor Z, will think the walls
must end where they begin
and that a man, outside, will be
the same as he went in.

Sunday, October 22, 2006, 10:35 p.m.

i'll tell you one thing
its always better when we're together



dinner with lyn, cherie, ning and adi at Singapore ChomChom. currently, cherie likes Mr Stallion and Mr Dimple-guy.

I WANT TO WORK IN AN ICE-CREAM SHOPPE WHEN I GET BACK. because, sgp will be hot. so.. the icecream will keep me cool. not that im not cool alr, so yeah. preferably in town, so i can see my friends!

okay, i think my entries are really plain boring. let's be more thought provoking.

i lament the fact that when nobody talks to me on msn, i pitas in peace, yet i wish someone would click on my nick and talk to me. however, when ppl are talking to me while i pitas. i get irritated, cos i have to split my brain to concentrate on different attitudes when facing a different window.

so, maybe everyone is the same. like, having special facades for separate occasions, situations, times and places. yes no?

i like reading interesting blogs. i read cherie's blog where she quoted me on how i said girls are really great at being fake. believe it or not, i KNOW it to be true. somehow. but, it feels more real reading it rather than saying it. then you realise sometimes, out of everything you say (since i always talk a lot) certain words/sentences does influence or have an impact on somebody.

what am i crapping about? i have not much of an idea.

EDIT: cherie's blog is really really nice. she encoded my currently fave song, you and me by lifehouse (yes, call me outdated. i dont really care.) in her blog! YAY! hurrray for html. no more itunes song on replay, HAH. cherie, i love! :)

in an effort to sound desperate:
i think im lonely.



let's switch on the eyecandy radar.

Sunday, October 22, 2006, 12:17 a.m.

it's not always easy
and sometimes life can be deceiving



hokay, late start to the day. i woke up at three pm. did a little math, met cherie, ning, chua, lyn and adi for dinner. saw darwin, calvin and ghea. then, we ate at tomodachi, food wasnt too bad. i love the green tea ice cream, maybe cos its been quite long since i've had it.

we watched The Departed. they bought the rights from Infernal Affairs, so, it's almost an exact replica of that movie. except, its much more lame, three hours long, less eyecandy (Edison Chen and Shawn Yue) and Mark Wahlberg is humourous, really. i found the ending really lame, everyone dies. HUH? and, Leonardo DiCaprio looks the best.. i got Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg (which i expected to be quite hunky) mixed up. HAHAHA.



i dislike the exam schedule. m&c ends last, so EVERYONE else will be partying while cherie and i cram media into our brains. rahhhh! but, her mummy will be here. oohh, company.on the other hand, i have one last shot to score as high as possible concentrating on each subject (maybe economics, just maybe). HAH.

Saturday, October 21, 2006, 12:39 a.m.

there's no combination of words
i could put on the back of a postcard



bought a top then had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe with lyn, cherie, ning, adi and chua. it was both filling and very very funny! hahahah.

Q: why did the chinese build the Great Wall of China?
A: to keep the RABBITS out, of course.

that day i bought the KFC kid's meal and got a 'free toy'. hah, it was a dvd of RUGRATS AND JIMMY NEUTRON! oh how i miss my nickelodeon cartoons. i remember going home (it wont be long) after school, and that's the first thing i'd switch to when i turned on the teevee.

3,2,1 (Gotta Blast)
Into the stars, To buy candy bars
He's the kid with a knack for inventions
He's got a superpowered mind
A mechanical canine *bark, bark*
He rescues the day from sure destruction
This is the theme song
For Jimmy Neutron!

i have a serious urge to splurge.

Thursday, October 19, 2006, 11:03 p.m.

you should know, what it’s like
when it hurts



pitas-ing has been quite boring, lack of content. i'd say that my oral didnt go too badly, especially since i used props and the whiteboard to grab attention. hahaha. how cunning.

spring concert was fun too! trinty does have talented people, envy everybody.

it's been drama, maths, drama and maths lately. our theme for drama is "It's Never Too Late"! quite interesting.. but, i have to act as the mother again. damn.

dinner tomorrow!

did you heart ever want to ask something, but your head was too afraid to know?

Sunday, October 15, 2006, 10:56 p.m.

so i was thinking to myself when you passed me by
“here’s what i like”



"Does the fashion industry promote unhealthy body images for girls and boys?"
my eap presentation topic.

i dont know what to pitas about.

im feeling kinda empty right now. not hungry, but. just those moments where you're not sure if this is what you want in life. or, isnt there more to life than just.. this?

oh well.

anyhow, i like spending time with lyn, cherie and ning.

Thursday, October 12, 2006, 12:34 a.m.

i think i need a sunrise
i'm tired of the sunset



"The resulting fragrance, cK one, was a departure from tradition in every way. The scent itself was a fresh mix of spices, fruits, and musk. The top notes consisted of bergamot, cardamom, pineapple, and papaya. The middle notes were jasmine, violet, rose, and nutmeg. Two types of musk mixed with amber and green tea were pervasive throughout the scent. The fragrance technically was missing its bottom notes, which did two things-it made it cheaper to produce and it cut down on the scent's ability to last. Consequently, the fragrance needed to be reapplied every two hours, increasing usage, ultimately increasing sales." (Marsh 2003:124-125).

"To follow up on the unprecedented success of cK one, Calvin Klein Cosmetics created a new fragrance, cK be, which launched in the late summer of 1996. Once again, this was to be a "shared" fragrance, described as a "fresh tonic musk," with top notes of bergamot, juniper berry, mandarin, mint, and lavender, with magnolia and peach at the heart, and sandalwood, opoponax, and tonka bean at its base." (Marsh 2003:136).

now, we're all wiser consumers. hahaha.

You could get hurt. You could get sick. You could do all these things, and if you don't have intimate relationships that are strong, you're really alone. But alone is something I know how to do. Intimacy comes and goes. Alone is forever. Be single. Be plural. Just be.

Saturday, October 7, 2006, 12:03 a.m.

i'm tired of the weather
i think i'll get a lover



watched Step Up with cherie, ning and mabel today. so so cool! Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan! haha, i've mentioned them before and both in separate movies. NICEEE! :)



i feel stressed, yet im procrastinating real badly. i am stressed, because i havent started on my 1500 word m&c research essay.

however, as we (well, me) are all trained to have our nervous system react automatically when pressured. i have ultimately decided to start writing my essay tomorrow (or today), hoping as earnestly as possible that i'll be able to churn out an interesting, engaging and relatively excellent essay on Calvin Klein.

of course, not all essays are easy. neither is this. especially when its about the marketing strategies, managing of their public image and criticisms and responses. well leo, this isnt called a RESEARCH essay for nothing. better start working.

state library, my new hangout.

Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 09:44 p.m.

you don't know me
you don't wear my chains



starbucks guy: hi, what can i do for you?
me: can i have a tall mocha frappucino?
starbucks guy: sorry, we're all out of coffee. only water left.
me: WHAT?! -looks astonished.
starbucks guy: im kidding, kidding.
me: err, okayyy.

starbucks guy: one tall mocha frap-pu-ci-no and one tall chocolate frap-pu-ci-no with whipped cream -in singsong manner.

i therefore conclude that, a trip to Starbucks is one of anticipation, quirky and different experiences each time, inclusive for both genders. hey, although they have weird personalities, at least they're foreign eyecandy.

Tuesday, October 3, 2006, 09:56 p.m.

eyes are red and tears are shed
this world you must have crossed you said



watched Monster House with cherie and ning, sneaked Nando's in! hahaha. i thought the show was a tad scary, but not the freaky type. hard to describe, but good nonetheless. at least it didnt have a typical storyline.



I NEED TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE, STUDYWISE.

starbucks girl: can i have your name please?
me: mel
starbucks girl: ohh, i like that name. i used to ask my family to call me that, even though its not my name. hahaha.
me: okayy, thanks. -awkward and appreciative smile.

Tuesday, October 3, 2006, 01:10 a.m.

i'd give it all, i'd give for us
give anything but i won't give up



holidays with my mum werent too bad! she slept on the sofa though, complaining that my room was too hot!? wth. anyway, she handwashed my clothes for me (those that required handwash)! YAY! heh. and we bought clothes from A/X.. sales rack of course. visted vineyards. watched The Devil Wears Prada together!



anyway, i kinda miss her. first time though, oh wells :(

its the first week of TERM IV!
been getting back results today, erm. okay? haiya. spent two hours in the state library researching on calvin klein for m&c! moderately productive? watched John Tucker Must Die with lyn, ning, chua and cherie on sunday, before school. NICEE! okay, brittany snow doesnt look too good here. but, we think she looks like the olsen twins!



JESSE METCALFE IS HOT. :)

good things coming up:
trinity ball, hope its fun. dressing up. in two months i'll be back in sgp! :))

it stings and makes me sour, that im not as good as her.

Monday, September 25, 2006, 09:16 p.m.

cause with you, i'd withstand
all of hell to hold your hand



isn't she HOT?!



okay, she looks like mischa barton to me. so, no doubt. it is SHE. hahaha. i like! :)

okay, being eighteen and three-days-old on saturday. my bro brought me to crown casino! HAHAHA. i played jackpot (exhilirating!), some dice guessing game and roulette! i also think that threecardpoker is a fascinating game! hokay, one perk for growing another year older. well, my bro won money! heh. then we celebrated by going for supper, CAKE! :)

was late going for the Getting Into Melbourne Uni information session. intimidating, just thinking about next year. Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Arts seems like an appealing choice. hope i can cope. waitaminute, IF i can get into melb uni FIRST. :s

work work work! eap oral presentation and m&c research essay!

my mummy's coming, AGAIN -everyone, chime together. hahaha! here's to a week of nagging, eating and spending. hopefully.

i know i dont matter much, thanks for not hiding it.
so much for trying,
so much for friendships.


ele, you know something? i was going through my voicemail and i heard the sound of trains(?) and your voice. all you said was "hello? mel?" in that familiar tone of yours. that was enough for me to break into a case of hysterics, the kind where you laugh cause you feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
i miss you, darling. :(

on my knees, i’ll ask
last chance for one last dance



my narcissistic multishot, taken by others of course.


okay, Royal Melbourne Show was F-U-N!! despite the fact that i only slept for five hours and was almost late meeting lyn. hahaha. went there with lyn, adi, ning, sujana and weihong.

we watched racing pigs, milking cows and went to see animals! hahaha, then we sat the CRAZY COASTER, which i thought was a little scary. considering the fact that its been quite long since i last sat such stuff. THE WORSE WAS: HARD ROCK! wahlau. freaking scary can, its worse than viking cos you're upside down and fucking high above from ground (sorry for the vulgarity, but i was that scared). HAHAHA, lyn didnt open her eyes and adi had monotonous screams. me? i kept screaming "let me down, is it overrr?? ahhhh, its freaking high!!" wth. HAHAHA! but, we had unnerving fun altogether. headed home after buying our SHOWBAGS! spongebob spongebob.. hee.

and, NO PICS. cos, we all didnt bring our cameras. HAHAHA. i slept from 7pm to 11am, heh.

had the Urban Bunny Party yesterday.. wasnt very good. those ppl who told me that they'd go, was a bloody no-show. damn irritating. the dancers were not bad though! but, the stripper my bro hired (to boost sales) was as quoted by one clubber i overheard "she's fucking ugly, i fucking dont want to see this shit!" HAHAH, i laughed damn hard can. so evil! oh, i was the cashier. wasnt too bad luh! lyn bought me a tequila shot.

after drinking two shots, lyn went abit mad (not drunk at all luh). she wanted to dance with me on the stairs can? and the stairs are.. very very narrow. HAHAHA. damn funny! well, we had additional experience being amateur dancers! hahaha. :)

supper after at chillipadi and home sweet home. no pics of the party though, adi has pics of the stripper. maybe i'll get from him, and post it. maybe. HAHAH.

other pics first then:
TGIF!


presents, loves! oh, betsy bought me the tiara haha.





my (messy) room in the day. its quite a distorted shot.

i keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go



HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY CRISTIAN!! :)



hey,
i guess we go quite a long way back, four years to be exact. hah, i remember the 'studying' at lido; walking around heeren on our birthday and yearly phonecalls to wish each other. you're the first person i knew who share the same birthday as me, and DAMN I thought I was special for thirteen years. oh, and we have LOTS in common, hahaha. well, there are a few regrets i feel and questions i want to ask. but dont think i dare or needless to say, type them here. but, i'll just say: i'm truly sorry for the things i did/said. hopefully, you're clueless. i am looking forward to hang out at prata places with the usual! and yes, you do look a tad funny in this pic HAHAHA. anyway, i miss you too. i'll be back soon.
from, the girl born on 20091988. :)

went to TGIFridays' yesterday for dinner with ning, lyn, adi, maggie, betsy(even though she was sick), phoebe and my brother! PRESENTS!! ((:

after dinner i was complaining how my birthday was quite sian and im definitely reluctant to turn eighteen (mid-teen crisis, as lyn calls it)! it just seems so... old. shall not talk about it. then, betsy and phoebe baked me a cake, came over and we celebrated at one am. heh! pretty sweet of them! not so sian after all, i guess. :)

AFTER i told maggie and she said, should have asked him to go the party at 255! YEAH, that didnt cross my mind. SO WASTED! ): oh wells, hope many many ppl go!

i miss you
been far away for far too long



HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY ESTHER!! :)



hey dear,
to show that im not practising favouritism, your layout is similar to sara's. hahaha. hope you dont mind that, and i think i did a fantastic job with your pic! heh. ;) anyway, despite our frequent bickering and put-you-downs (friendly malice-free insults) you know i miss you so! your crap, bubbly personality and mentality (that you're cool, HAH). we definitely entertain each other! i just want to let you know that i sincerely understand your predicament and position. please work hard and make me proud, not as if im not alr. and, remember that im here for you.
from, esho lover. :)



surprisingly, i met lyn nearly on time and we shopped around at TEN AM! headed to the museum. i cant really remember the name of the artists' artworks we saw.. but namely one: REMBRANDT! for his etching techniques, B-E-A-U-TIFUL!! i am serious. but we travelled back in time through asian and european art, even fashion textile history. hahaha. it was wonderful.

then we met ning, went to goldan fork for lunch. it was not too bad! then, lyn left. ning and i went big W, utterly embarassed ourselves and left for myers to choose perfume (my forte) for her sister's birthday. next stop, laguna. my legs were aching badly! ning left after waiting for my brother with me. had dinner with my brother at king of kings. did some catching up and headed home!

met lyn and adi for supper at chapel street!!
lovely sticky date cake, tiramisu and fettucini carbonara. singing in the car. multishots at st kilda beach. suspecting hidden agendas and also enjoying every single moment.
thank you, for helping me 'celebrate' the last day of my seventeen. :)
iloveyou,lynandadi! :)

that i love you
i have loved you all along



HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY SARA!! :)



hey darling,
you know i miss your constant care and concern (nagging) which you never fail to give generously! and also, you asking me questions about schoolwork. OH, and how you keep an organised diary of the upcoming events, tests and exams we get updated regularly. the countless nicknames you have: little dinosaur, BFG (which i dont agree on), sara without the H etc. you're endearing, forgiving, a peacemaker and above all GENUINE. cherish that as much as i cherish you. i love all the times we shared together in school, tuition and dinners. yes, i do know your favourite colour isnt pink anymore. i hope you love your present.
love, fellow carousel-lover. :)



melb is boring if you dont have all the money in the world, a great figure to wear any type of clothes and a fantastic place to spend your time with friends. sigh. that makes shopping almost... not fun. GASP. THUS, the very bimbotic entry. HAHAHA. oh wells, my brother's coming back from sunny singapore today!

YAY, PRESENTS!!

oh, and lyn came over to watch smurfs and eat maggimee!! hahaha, -lalalalalala lalalalala.

tomorrow, us refuse-to-be-bored ppl are going to the museum to be appreciative of art! while, poor sara does her gp paper (goodluck love). i'll be back with a proper critic-worthy review, dont you worry. too bad, we arent allowed to take pics.

p/s: signmyguestbook isnt working, so how bout dropping me a testimonial on friendster! HEH.

too long, too late
who was i to make you wait



sorry, for the overdue post. i was sick after the last post, and i am really really grateful to the two people who took care of me!

cherie and lynsey. my angels.


The girl on the left, Cherie Yeap. I met her at Norval Camp and got to know her through Lynsey. This ever so sweet person walked me all the way to the Sports Centre to wait for my brother when she was suffering from cramps, and did not even complain at all. We attend M&C, Psych, Lit, Econs and HoI lectures and have lunches/dinners together. When I was sick, she willingly went to Safeway to buy meat and fish to cook porridge for me. Outdoing herself, the next day, she actually came to my place after school. We watched pirated dvds, played crash and she cooked fish soup for me. At the end of the day, she has to walk quite a distance home in the freezing cold weather, at night.

The girl on the right, Lynsey Lim. I also met her at Norval Camp. Its uncanny how our friendship blossomed, from absailing! Haha, it never ceases to amaze me when I reminisce. Although we only attend Econs and HoI lectures with occasional lunches/dinners, we still remained close. Hah, we have our ways. She walked me home when Cherie went to Safeway, and helped cook porridge for me. The next day, she came and brought me panadol. She also has to walk home.

Tell me, where does one find friends who are so willing to give? But, one thing is. I am thankful and appreciative of what they've done for me (I was sick till my brain was jelly and legs were weak)! Given any day, I would definitely do the same for them and more. For sure. :)
