i love uni!!!

HAHA what a shock that title was hey? 'i love uni' ! LOL but seriously, today i really really did! it was damn awesome! i had three tutes in a row but technically two because i didnt go to my accounting one =X
anyway i had my marketing tute first which was alrite and then i had management straight after. we got our grp assignment back and OMFG! we totally fluked it!! 70% !!! HAHAHAHAHA can u believe it?! it was the dodgiest piece of shit ever and we achieved a DISTINCTION for it! we chucked a 9 hour session to start and complete it the day before it was due and oh my lord tht was hell. it started out all fun and exciting but by the end of the night we were all nearly at eachothers throat. but yeh the management tute was alrite too.

then

since i had a break me and leanne decided to go to shirley's marketing tute where they were having a class party (like in high school and primary school!! where everyone brings in food and the tables get put together hehe!). i didnt even belong in the class but i scabbed so much food i felt such a pig. we also had a quiz and their tutor never realised tht i wasnt apart of the tute LOL. there was so much food and BEER! this malay mature age student made like 3 huge containers of prawn crackers, sandwiches and biscuits (its always the mature age students tht r so hardworking...). it was all so coool!
but then wen it all finished the tutor talked to us abt the exam and my phone went off- right in front of her. she paused and stared right at me! i was so momentarily paralysed with embarrassment tht i didnt even apologise. lol oops.
yeh...i just found the whole party and quiz thing fun! and also the thrilling feeling tht i didnt even belong to the class added to the excitement. i know there is nothing thrilling abt tht....but still. just let me savour the moment ok?!
i guess its just nice to know tht u can still have tht sort of fun uni instead of it ending in high/primary school.


then after uni, me ceazer and eugene went to go get ceazer's L's hehe. we went to willagee but then ceazer 4got his letter of consent. so then we went back to his house and forged the signature (which i did a very bad job of by the way). we decided to go to the welshpool centre and i led the direction but got lost and then saved the day again after we weaved in and out of a thousand suburban roads. =D (go me!) ceazer kept saying tht all he knew abt the centre was tht 'there is a lot bush' HAHAHHA...sorry....i just find tht really funny. oh yeh! also something tht made me laugh throughout the whole time was wen eugene wud b driving and ceazer wud yell random road rules out to make sure eugene was driving properly LOL awwww ceazer ur a classic!

after THAT. eugene and ceazer went to play tennis at rossy and i sat on the grass listening to my ipod for little while. but then there wasnt enough racquets so while eugene played, me and ceazer stretched and did cart wheels on the oval HAHA. ceazer doing cartwheels hahahahahaha. when eugene took a break from tennis, we all had a running race around the oval and OMFG i cudnt even do a full lap. ceazer won followed by eugene and i came, predictably....last. i cut through half of the field and i STILL came last! oh the shame! but i have to admit, i havent done tht much physical activity since sport in yr 9 LOL. no wonder i get stitches from walking arnd uni....

before we went home i had to go buy milk and on the way to walking to the milk eugene sed to buy these cadbury thingos called 'snap' and OMFFFG they are sooooo goooooooood!!! me and my sister hav finished the pack already. and i spilled like a quarter of them in eugenes car hahahaha!

yeh it was a long day.....but an enjoyable one too.

btw in the time of writing this post, 5 trick-or-treaters have come to my hse and i have given them all a lollipop each. unless they are little cuties then i give 2, so they can rot their teeth...hehe... suckers.

long time no see my pretties!

\
woah havent blogged for yonks.
haha....hmm....where shall i start....oh yeh first and foremost, how awesome was the war between 'random' and 'me' (our hero)?! i found it absolutely hilarious and entertaining! thanks guys!

sooo all the internal assessments have finally finished! hooray for tht! but now we've got the damn exams! i've been treating the past few days like holiday which is really bad since we only have 2 more weeks til exams. fark. i am so stuffed for them.

shit man....have absolutely no idea wat to write abt.
oh yeh! MOS!!!
tht was like 2 nights ago and my oh my was it awesome or wat!!!! i have to admit tht it was real boring at the start....so boring tht i got hungry and me and shirley actually went to the top and bought hot chips for freaking $4!!!! i mean who actually eats at METROS?! the person who served us kept laughing at us. i think he thought we were drunk or something cos shirley went up to him so many times asking him for more salt, then vinegar, then sauce and then tissues. hahaha. so funny.

then the whole rave started happening and omg it was sooo gooooood! although it wasnt tht good for the entire thing. only for awhile, it was still worth it just for tht small amount of time. when it all finished and we went out the sky was so bright! it was such a weird feeling ahha and i had work in like 2 hours. i still felt really energetic wen we were going home and wen i went to work. but after 1pm my whole body and mind were on the brink of collapsing. now approximately 42 hours after the rave my entire body aches. every bone, every muscle and every movement made is in agony. i wish i had a personal masseuse tht wud follow me everywhere. i can't wait til i regain full mobility of my limbs without pain again. its so bad tht everytime i chew my temples hurt LOL.

anyway.

for the past three weeks in which i havent blogged, i have surfed the net like crazy. its not funny, i think i seriously have an incurable addiction to the world wide web. whenever i am not online or wen i don't go on for a full night i feel so proud of myself- how sad is that!!!! hahahahahha! i personally blame it on msn, friendster, myspace and blogs.

well during my wasted time on the net i came across this site.....which is.... surprise, surprise... a blog. hehe. u guys might have heard of it already, but it isnt like a normal blog. what happens is, this person started up a thing where people from all around the world sends him postcards with their deep and dark secrets depicted in the picture on the front of the postcard. but they usually have words to explain their secret too. some of them are really funny and creative but others are really sad, like there was one of this woman dying from cancer but she is keeping it as a secret from her family. so this guy who receives all these postcards puts them on his blog which is http://postsecret.blogspot.com. go visit it now! the bad thing about it is that he doesnt have archives so u gotta visit it regularly.
yes i know wat u r all thinking- these people could all b lying! well true, yes they could be lying, but who cares! its fun to look at!

better go now, gotta go shirlims hse to meet the others. yay no acct lecture tmr! last week of uni this week- double yay! =D

petrol pumping

yesterday after uni along the way home me and eugene stopped by at a caltex gas station and filled up his little yellow car with the cushion thing on his front seat that makes ur ass feel weird.

anyway.

eugene parked his car and i ran out so that i could put the petrol in. i stuck the thingo in the slot in the car and clicked the handle. but the clickety thing kept stopping the petrol going in. now, the last time i put petrol in the same thing happened, but somehow i found a point where it just flowed. whereas this time i cudnt, it just kept stopping. eugene saw this and got frustrated and wanted to take over. i refused. but after a few more futile attempts, i gave in and eugene tried teaching me. this is where the funny bit starts...

he goes, "my dad said that u have to keep on pushing it in and out, like this...(i start laughing and eugene is amused too)... otherwise it doesnt fit".HAHAHA. at this point i totally lose it and crack up laughing. eugene hits me over the head and tells me to stop being so sick minded then he starts to laugh too. i think the asian auntie opposite to us must have thought we were those crazy siao kias.

yeh...i just thought that was funny.

anyway better get offline, watch the last bit of survivor, read and then sleep. wow, see how theres no study in tht little plan of mine? damn shame. so damn behind in uni.

congrats to shirley for getting a placement with kpmg! =D

LOL my tagbox!

well, let's start this post off with what i did in my day. =D

woke up, took bus, went to uni and attended accounting lecture. i like cheow wing wong, i think he is much better than jeanette and bob.

then after tht, me and yueh lai went to lin's house cos we had a 2.5 hr break. lin gave us brownies which were really yummy- not too rich but not too dry either. she also showed us around her house which is very big and nice! me and yueh lai were mostly shocked at the size of her bathroom and then we learnt tht she has THREE of them! lol.

after lin's hse we drove past tht nice mansion down the road again with the breathtaking chandelier and yueh lai took some photos. too bad they had the curtains drawn. =/

then back to uni for a boring boring lecture tht me and shirley talked the whole way through in....

NOW......regarding the amusing comments on my beloved tagbox..........lol.............

i'm sorry (not really) to tht asia guy. there are heaps of other people who have links on their msn nics or blogs to the dance, i hope u are bagging them down too. i can take it off, if it really offends anyone but i never thought it wud b a problem. haha. unless of course tht was a joke, then i pat u on the back, cos it is amusing.

and then to random who sez my blog is boring....well.....DON'T READ IT. i have numerous links on the left hand navigation bar to other blogs, so u are welcome to click on them and read abt their thoughts on stuff rather than me ranting on about MY day. which i think is perfectly fine because it is MY blog and i can write anything i want on here, whether it is boring or not.

PLUS at the top of the page i have already mentioned tht 'u will b bored to bits with my ramblings', so its not like i didnt warn u or anything.

ALSO, eugene is happy for u to visit his site which is also a link on my blog so u can go read abt his thoughts. i also recommend 'xia xue's blog, she also write about her thoughts. =)

alritey i'm off to do my management and marketing assignment........yuk.

belated post: shirley lim's 18th bday picnic

about a week ago it was shirley's picnic. i found it fun and relaxing! it was nice to talk and catch up with people that i don't normally see at uni. and the food was yummy =) here are some pics.

hmm...i'm in all the pics...feel like such a camera whore.

just watched the asia cocktail dance on youtube. its pretty good! it looks fun. can't believe i missed it. here is the link for it, if u havent seen it yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei31bVHGgCo

pasar malam!

last night was the curtin pasar malam and boy, did we have fun! haha. i know alot of people didn't really enjoy it tht much, but i had a great time. this was partly or mostly due to the 'icey ice' desserts that we had. but more on that later.

eugene came to pick me up, but before that he called and asked for 'vanessa'. and i go 'yes?'. then he pauses and goes 'oh sorry, wrong vanessa, bye.' and i'm like okaaaaay then. lol.

15 minutes later he calls again and says tht he is outside my house. i go out and then i ask him how come he called me earlier on? and then he goes 'ohhhh was tht u?! i thought i got the wrong number'.....hahahahahha eugene! so funny! apparently it was because of my voice, which is ten times more worse today. i went to the doctors and he sed tht i hav tonsilitis and bronchitis. which sounds about right, cos my throat is killing & i cant talk.

anyway, bak to last night!

the craziness all started wen we all decided to go buy a dessert called 'icey ice' which is like flavoured ice carved/ cut so finely and nice. it was really yummy too. as we were ordering the person asked for our names and i go "omg! lets make up fake names!" and then from tht point on we just totally lost it.

there was something in that 'icey ice' thing tht made us go hyper! i'll show u wat i mean....

before the icey ice we would b like this-

(me, joanne, shirley)

after we ate the icey ice...

and

(tina, kiki, betty)

yeh....scary stuff.
but the whole night wud not have been so fun without it!
we also scored a free drink because i think the asian chick thought we already paid wen infact we had not, so shirley was like walking away going 'lets goo, she won't notice...' and then i start walking while joanne is standing there holding the money. but she walks off too after me and shirley walked away, then we just cracked up laughing.

hmm.....i cant really be bothered writing anything else but overall (as i have mentioned) it was an awesome night filled with laughter and fun (for us 3 only i think LOL)! another funny moment was when we saw guys punching eachother in the balls as a greeting and wondered why in the world would u do tht!?!?! i mean, its not like us girls thump eachother in the boobs wen we see one another!

then around 10.15 shirley and joanne went home and i was with eugene and his friends vincent and keagan.

(eugene and vincent)

eugene wanted to wait for the last band to start playing to c if they were good. we waited 15 mins for the band to set-up and wen they finally started playing, we left cos they werent tht good at all. hmm all tht waiting time for nothing! lol. then eugene drove us home with his backlights not working and him driving straight wen he was in a turning lane LOL. yes, dangerous....but at the same time, thrilling.

ok i think thats it for me now, better get off the net. i was supposed to have work, but i was too sick to go and have basically spent my whole time on the net...omfg...SAD!!!

btw shirley- i'll write abt ur picnic in the near future lol.

adios ppl! oh yeh like my new layout? i don't know how to put comments on, so just tag my tagbox mmmmk? awesome!

i love surveys and h8 marketing

at uni right now (yeh thats right, at freaking 9.30am!) trying to do marketing presentation. but omfg i just cant b stuffed, so i am half surfing the net, chatting on e-messenger and attempting to do marketing. my grp member is on the comp beside me, hope he doesnt see. lol.

yay! cocktail tonight! i am rather excited! hope its gooooood!

msu ball & casino

casino & ruby room

feel soo out if it right now. lol. i "wanted" to study last night but nooo- ended up going to the casino and ruby room instead haha. morrison randomly called us while i was over at shirleys house to go cas. unlike last week wen i came home from metros and woke up 7 hours later i felt all fresh, this time i feel all dazed.

anyway!
we went to casino first and walked up and down the casino twice...how freaking sad. and then we decided to go ruby room but then ken sed his friend in vic park is having drinks. so me, shirley, stef, ken and morrison went to vic park to c ken's friend, sarah. we were there for like...i duno an hourish or mayb longer and they gave us a vodka mixed with orange juice. we were gonna follow them to the amp, but then we went back to cas instead haha.

casino was alrite, shirley won $100 omfg! too bad i didnt gamble haha. me and stef went to ruby room while morrison, twins, ken and cheng gambled.

the ruby room was ok, its much prettier and classier than metros. but i think i prefer metros. ruby room is waaay too crowded, u can just stand there and look like ur dancing because ppl arnd u would b pushing u. the music was normal, but as usual the good songs came on when we werent on the dance floor. there were like people of all ages there.
eventhough i always diss metros cos its FULL of asians, i think i like it better there- u know more ppl so its more fun.
we also saw muhammad, makeen and muhammad's primary school friend (i 4got his name). we pretty much stayed with them at the ruby room.

msu masquarade ball

two nights ago was the msu masquarade ball. haha...'masquarade'...only like 30% of the people there brought masks, other people *ahem joanne mok* stole masks from tables and claimed it as their own lol. it was alrite, more classy than our yr12 one last year, but the ballroom was heaps smaller! to sum it all up, i would say tht the ball wasn't shit but it was no way near worth the $84.25 i had to pay. however- the food was nice! we had prawns for entree, chicken for the main and for dessert we had tiramisu. check out the tiramisu...yummm, i didnt finish it though cos i was too full-

the whole night went really fast! i know it was 5 hrs but it seriously felt like 2. there was unlimited drinks but i drank more of coke and lemon lime bitters cos alcohol tastes like shit lol.
the music was ok, not really my cup of tea. but when westlife played me and joanne went full out on the dance floor and sang (i think we were the only people there tht knew the lyrics). shirley was absolutely hilarious, as she usually is with a little bit of help from the drinks. justine felt sick after drinking so was sitting with mun at the table, where they were later joined by jason, wei shyong and erm....gummy? i was like "WTF! how did u guys get in for free?!?! NO FAIR!"
we were put on the 'loser/random" aka "we-have-no-friends" table. it was all the way in the corner where we sat with total randoms. luckily they were nice randoms-


i didnt take much photos at all!! shame.
but here are the others tht i managed to scrounge-

sorry for the small amount of snapshots lol. i guess i just really wasnt bothered tht night haha. i don't think i'll go agen next year, but who knows!

alritey gotta go and c how far behind in uni i am, adios!

evidence of procrastination

for the last two nights i have gone to sleep at 3am and waking up at 7am. tonight is going to be no different.
why?

COS MANAGEMENT SUX!!!

management 100 and marketing 100 are the shittiest units ever! i hate all the bulk assignments tht we have to do! i haaaate it!!!
i didn't think i wud ever say this.... but i may actually prefer info sys over these two stupid common core units! shocking rite?

---------------------------------> now back to reality!

• haven't started any of the assignments...oh shit oh fark!
• HAVE to start them tomorrow..MUST start them tmr!!!!
• why haven't i started them, you ask? WELL i've been watching greys anatomy.
• can't go out sat night....*cries*...cos i'm being a good girl and doing my assignments *grins*
• shit shit, going to be late for work

bye bye bye!!!

ouch!

i cut my finger!!! i know it doesn't look that bad in the photo, but its such a hassle coz its right on the tip of my finger and i can't do much without putting pressure on it! like typing! i can't type properly!!

this how it all started....

approximately 1 hour ago, my whole family except me were going out to watch my sister's band performance at perth modern or something, and then my mum was in a rush and told me to take the skin of 2 apples, one red one green, and cut them up, so she can eat it in the car. so i took a green apple and started using tht umm...peeler? and peeled off the skin, but i didn't hold the apple properly so somehow it sliced off a few layers of the skin of my finger and dug three slits into my flesh (as u can see below). i showed my mum and then she started going on abt how tht is why she never gets me or my sister to do anything because we always end up hurting ourselves or stuffing up the food.



its all washed and clean now, so there is no blood visible in tht photo. now i have to go and put antiseptic in it. which is going to sting!!!

*sigh....
i hope it doesnt get infected.
lol.

a day in the port city

hmm...it just occured to me that all the pictures that i have posted r going to take a while to load. lol oh well.

anyways! today we went to freo! and if u want to know what we did u can go and read shirleys blog. haha. it was a fun day! and getting see the hot 14 yr old drummer andreas was the highlight of my day! but then it depressed me for the rest of the day because he is FOURTEEN yrs old!!!! =(

here are some snapshots (i AM NOT a pedophile for taking these...lol)-

hehehe. right so he isnt that photogenic, but OMG when he played the drums and smiled..awww!!! me and theresa got annoyed when the asian guy playing the trombone (i think thts wat u call it) blocked him.

theresa playing with her phone...trying to adjust her zoom so she can take a pic of andreas lol

lisa- turning away from the camera (muahahha i still got u!!)

shirley- laughing over the excitement of seeing andreas

in the end, we gave up trying to zoom in on andreas properly and decided to take a grp pic instead lol. (note: how me and theresa r standing closer to him...hehe)

haha =D

after freo, i went home did bit of marketing and then went out for dinner at a korean restaurant called 'niniku jip'. haha its really cute. and i saw shirley's acct grp member kat, working there. she still rmbered my name! lol.

-

-

-

ANYWAY!!!

-

-

now...have i got a little treat for u all!!!

remember how my acct grp member paul took a pic of huoy min at the EY thingo? he sent other pix too!

feast ur eyes on...

-

-

the HOT INDIAN GUY!!!! (or wat u can c of him..)

lol, i took alot of effort into labelling everything ok!!!!

management, massages and meetings!

management lectures r absolutely pointless! i did not take in a thing the kandy woman sed. apart from highlighting the words on the lecture slides tht were already bold and TRYING to read the content of the slides (no point cos nothing went in) i paid no attention to the lecture at all.

what i did do however, was-

• look at justine reading 'my sisters keeper' by jodi picoult.
• graffitti shirley (liew)'s pencil case, by beautifully encrypting my name on it
• read the sms's that shirley (lim) was typing and receiving from stephen morphett
• sms shirley (lim), who was sitting right next to me
• write "shirley s2 cale" and "mrs shirley hooker" on her lecture notes
• copied notes that justine were writing down from the lecture when she wasnt reading the book.
• look around at the people in the room, and realised that the numbers have definately decreased
• wondered whether i should come to this shit lecture ever again....
• and tryed to suppress my coughs so i wudnt make a loud noise that wud echo around the theatre

after the lecture, me shirley and justine walked to the bus stop to catch the bus.
justine and i argued about how when walking out of the lecture room with the sun shining in our eyes cud remind me of being in malaysia.
we got on the bus. justine left at some earlier bus stop to get to mun yeongs house.
me and shirley got to caro and i went to work to microwave my lunch and shirley got pretzos. i think the people there think we're total scabs, cos i just kept eating the samples tht they had lol. the sausage pretzo is sooooo nice! i probably shudnt have eaten it though, made my throat worse.

then after lunch, we walked arnd and came to the shaver shop near k-mart! i initially went in there to see if they had any decent priced hair curlers, but then got distracted by the massage chairs that they had outside near the entrance. i ran up to one and sat on there and pressed the 'demo' button on the remote control. and omg! it was soooo cooool! it full on gave u the best back massage ever! then i made shirley get on one, but she refused. so then i forced her to and she finally gave in.
well.
we ended up just staying there for (collectively) an hour. just pressing the 'demo' button over and over again. i'm surprised the counter people didnt tell us off for hogging their chairs and wasting electricity haha. we got embarrased for sitting on the outside ones where people walking past cud see u, so we moved to the hidden ones. there we were...sitting on these chairs, getting back massages. there was a foot massage directly in front of me so i had like a full back AND foot massage (wearing socks of course!!). we were going to get our ipod out and listen to it. but then tht might have been a little too far haha. but yehhh it was sooooo relaxing! felt all calm and soothed afterwards lol...abit numb....but hey, wat do u expect after being thumped and kneaded by a machine for an hr!

the massages were so awesome (can u believe it cost $380 for a massage pad for ur chair?!). but then i had work. urgh. i was coughing and had a blocked nose and sore throat...i was sooo not in the mood to work. but it was alrite. i hated talking to the customers cos my voice wud either sound all manly and husky or squeaky and nasal (depending if i had coughed or not before talkng to them). and wat was worse was wen i was talking and my nose starts dripping! lol. i quickly tried to end the convo and ran all the way to the office to get a tissue. after work there was a work meeting...-_- that was ok, but rather boring, oh well, at least we get paid overtime for it haha.

now i have practically no voice and when i cough i sound like a dog barking. i hate being sick. i just recovered from the flu like 2 weeks ago and now i'm sick again....URGH. i better get well before sunday!

no uni tmr, woohoo! and dont start work til 3pm, so i get SLEEP IN =D
i hope its pouring down with rain in the morning..i love waking up and sleeping in, in tht kind of weather...

yes i know this has been a boring entry.
too bad.
lol.

westlife baby!

today i got tickets to the westlife concert!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!!

the girl serving me probably thought i was the biggest loser. not only because i was buying a ticket for a WESTLIFE (a band tht the majority of society does not think is 'cool') concert but i was buying one ticket for myself. ohhh the shame!

and just incase you're beginning to think tht i am really going to go to a concert all by myself- u are insane! lol.
i wudnt sink to that level of lame-ness. shirley and joanne got tix without me cos they thought i wudnt want to go. pfffft....yeh right! (how could i not like westlife eh? that was all we ever listened to for a semester in applic last yr joanne!)
they probably didnt want me to go, well guess what?? u can't rid of me that easily!!!! lol jokes.
oh one more thing, you're all thinking tht since i got a ticket by myself, i'd b sitting by myself in the concert right?
wronnnng cos its a standing ticket and joanne and shirley's tix r standing too, so we'll be together!! muahahhaa

can't wait for the concert!!! my 1st ever concert haha.
can u imagine when i'm this huge popstar and in the interviews they ask me,
"so what was the 1st concert u've been to?"
and i reply,
"westlife!"
hahahahha, people will think i'm a total tool.

anyways, just thought i'd blog about my excitment!

Ernst & Young Function Ceremony Thing

sooooo i guess u've all read shirley and huoy min's version of that night eh? haha...WELL here's what i thought of it....

tuesday 1 august 2006 started with me missing the bus to uni and then my dad racing the bus all the way to leach highway where the bus stopped to pick up people and i quickly ran out of my dads car and got on to the bus...phew ...that got my adrenaline pumping lol.

got to uni- OMFG soooooo boring ! especially marketing tute...urgh.
anyway, i had 3 tutes and they were all boring but tolerable i guess.

and then my mum came to pick me up and took me to shirleys! ALL day, the only thing i was looking 4ward to was the function!! i was so excited!! but not as excited as huoy min of course lol.

arrived at shirley's house and then yeh just chilled and talked (abt lipgloss LOL) and then changed and then huoy min came! we were all about to go, but then me and shirley decided we wanted to put eyeliner on, cos we saw huoy min with it haha. then shirley's sister took a picture of us and we were off!

above: huoy min, shirley and me

we walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus- i cudnt stop laughing because it was so cool! its not like we wud ever get an opportunity to dress up like business people and go to the city to get an award!
we got to the bus stop and then yeh, rest is boring, or u cud just read shirleys bit on how we sat at busport and went to boost.

got into ernst&young building, met in lobby, shook glen hutchings hand, went in lift with glen hutchings, came out of the lifts and was hit with this really really nice view of the riverrrrr!!!! it was soooooooo pretttty!!!!
then we went into this room with like clear windows all arnd and u cud see the new subway thingo that they're building.
then we mingled...i pigged out on the food- man the food was so goooood! don't listen to shirley at it all being 'too gourmet', the food was awesome! i wish i wud have taken pictures of the food. oh yeh! did u know ernst&young hav their own water??? LOL i scabbed two bottles muahahahaha.
ok, then after some mingling with the hot indian guy we sat down and waited for the awards. my grp members sat at the front, i was like OMG! how embarrasing, i dont want to sit at the front!
some important ppl sed some stuff and then they started giving out the certificates. all these ppl were getting bronze and i was thinking...cool...so far so good...just a few more ppl and we might make it to silver...but noooo they called out one of my grp members and i was like DAMN! lol haha but nah it was still good.
then we mingled more and i ate more food and my grp member paul took pictures and i forced huoy min to take some with me haha...
then me and hm went to shirleys grp and then some recruitment guy talked to us and then we left, leaving shirley longing to go bak and ask for the indian guys number lol.

ok, here is where the REAL fun started! as u know we planned to go gelare, but after walking a mile and getting lost and then finally finding gelare, it turned out to be CLOSED! urgh. shirley was walking with her grp and me and hm were walking a fair distance ahead. but then we all ended up walking the same pace after it started to pour down with rain. thats when the guys decided to get theit cars and stuff. someone asked me and huoy min who we wanted to go with and then i asked which once wud b the one getting less wet? and they sed following sean wud be the dryest option-
HAHA...soooo WRONG!
me, hm and sean got sooo drenched! ahhaha but it was sooooo fun (and dangerous) running in the rain! sean was ahead of us and me and hm were like lagging behind, trying not to get run over when crossing the roads. it was SO FAR getting to his car, but it was worth it, cos his car is SO COOL. me and hm had to squish into one seat cos it was a ute, but a very HOT ute! lol. i was kinda scared tht we might get pulled over by cops, but sean didnt seem to be fussed by tht possibility at all.
anyways, the most scariest part of tht time was when we already met up with the others and sean was following kat and cale was following sean. we were getting near the light and then we see these cops stopping cars and shining torches in the cars. i was starting to FREAK OUT! lol so i kinda squeezed down in the leg space but u cud still c my head if the cops were going to be looking in the car. at this stage i was rather scared yet excited haha and hm looked rather panicky too (not sure though...). sean was calm but then sed tht i shud get out and go into cale and shirley's car behind while the cops werent looking. lol. i hesitated, but then opened the door and quickly ran to their car haha. i rmb shirley opening the lock and me jumping in like there was no tomorrow haha! that was soooo fun yet quite scary at the same time.
later when we were near the freeway i wanted to get bak into sean's car eventhough it was a 2-seater, but it was warmer and just newer and smelled better lol. so when we got to the traffic lights i got out of cales car and ran forward bak into seans car to join huoy min in our seat. hahahaha.

hmm...i cbb typing anymore...and theres so much more to go lol, and i bet peope hav already gotten sick of it and hav clicked to someone else's blog lol. ok i'll just summarise the best bits.

went to kats house, it was so cute, kinda makes me wish tht i cud live in student housing...but then i'd have to cook and clean alll by myselfff urgh. ate pizza, watched rove and then shirley and hm left me. i felt kinda scared for being there with strangers, but sean and cale r sooo funnny! we played all these random card games, tht wud have been funner with alcohol, but oh well we had uni the next morning! i asked if they wanted to play big2 and they were like WTH is that?!?! and then so i showed them and they go- ohhhhh that game! its called 'asshole'....i wasnt sure if they were taking the piss or if they were serious lol. but they seemed serious haha. so we played 'asshole' which is SIMILAR to big2 but there are some different rules...i'll show u one day haha after tht we talked abt TEE. LOL. then kat got back from driving hm and shirley home and we played more card games. cale and sean played battleships while me and kat played snap.
and then basically, we just talked abt random stuff....with the guys occasionally bursting out into laughter over 'warm water' and 'the matrix'.

then time to go home. cale drove me home..well not all the way but just til thornlie and then we swapped. hahaha can u believe it?!?!?! he let me drive his mums car!!!! i only met him tht night and he let me drive even when i told him i failed my test for speeding! so i was driving in the rain and in the dark...its so cool. but when i was reversing out of the driveway we pulled in at, i didnt see the tree/shrub/letterbox behind us and i reversed into it. LOL. it made a huge bumping noise and i was like oh shiiit....haha. cale went out of the car to see the damage i had done while i panicked in the car. he came arnd saying tht there is this huge dent at the back! faaarrrrrrrk! haha but then he sed he was only joking. so i went to the bak to see and there truly was a dent!!! a little one. but i'm not sure if i did it or not....he sed tht it was already there....hmm...i duno....=/ shiit feel soo baaaaad.

and then yeh, i drove bak to my hse, stalling once in the rain cos i was scared of this truck tht i had to give way to. got home at 11.45ish. lol.

ooookaaaaaaay i think if u have read til here, u have a HUGE attention span. i wasnt going to finish it but huoy min sed i shud...so i have. lol.

overall, i had a fantastic time and wished we cud do it again!

(also, i find that aussie guys are so much more laid back and calm than asian guys. asian guys r more uptight and stuff haha. mayb i'm generalising...oh well) i neeeed to sleeeep nows.

adios!

yummy cakes

right, so today i went to buy/order my cake from this shop called "Cakes Delight Patisserie" in Mt Pleasant. all the cakes there were so nice! i was practically drooling looking at them all with their pretty designs.
so there i was getting all excited about how nice MY cake is going to turn out; i went to pick one i liked and then they told me the price.
want to know how much it is?

NINETY FREAKING FIVE DOLLARS!!!!
i was like WTF ur JOKING right?!?!?!?!
$95 for a CAKE?????
what is the world coming to??? are we going to get charged for air soon???
dear lord....

BUT.
i brought it anyway. hahaha. well actually my parents did.
so people- if there wasn't an incentive to come to my dinner- i bet there is now!!!!

LONG time no see!

heyyy!
haven't blogged in aaages haha, but look what kind of comeback i've made-----> pics with (hot) DINO! =D but more on that later.
so there are several reasons why there's been such a long absense. firstly, i had to wait for my work friend to develop the photos and give them to me, so i could post them up. that took like a week, and when i did finally get them i couldn't be bothered scanning them. when i did finally scan them and decided to post them up, blogger was being a tool and not letting me put photos up, so that pissed me off real bad and i didnt want to log on for like a week. haha AND THEN i got sick and still kinda am, so that delayed more postings haha.
i tell u, having the flu is the WORST. i HATE HATE HATE it! i had like no energy and i cudnt do anything AND i lost 3 kgs! gahhh! BUT now i get to gain 3 kgs....hehe....awesome.

ok.

back to dino.
right, so this happened like nearly 3 weeks ago haha.
this time i was not as nervous as i was when i went to see michael. and remember how last time we lined up half an hour to see michael? with dino we lined up for 10 minutes! hahaha....tht shows the dicrepancy of popularity between them.
at least with dino i was prepared to say my name when i went up, so there was no awkward staring attacks (thanks god!). but what did make the whole thing a tad embarrasing was my work friend taking random shots of me lining up and then talking to dino, so it made it look like i was meeting some celebrity. god that was so embarrasing! everyone must have thought i was a total loser. whats worse was tht he processed them too so ALL of my work friends saw them....urgh. the photos that were taking during the process of lining up and talking are quite shameful so i'm not putting them up on the world wide web. anyways, dino was HOT. but michael is still better looking in person.

above: wtf is he wearing?! lol

oh yeh, one thing dino tht day was that he was really tired, not as energetic and enthusiastic as michael. but i was a hell of a lot more relaxed with dino, so tht was probably why i enjoyed it. plus there were less ppl haha. oh yeah, i got an autograph for shirley too. with michael, it was strictly one autograph per person cos there were so many ppl, but with dino its like hey! have as many as u want!

above: me and dino! =D

he didn't stand up to take a photo like michael did BUT he did put his hand on my waist, which u can't really see in the photo (damn). haha. THAT'S right! DINO's arm was on MY waist! wahahahahahaha. lol i was gonna actually ask him to remove it cos it felt weird lol since i am so-called "tight"....*rolls eyes*.

i love this next photo the best though, he just looks SO HOT! this was taken by my embarrasing work friend, darren (he's also a part-time photographer).

above: *drools*

alriteys, thats enough for me gotta go eat brekky lol. or brunch..wateva. hopefully will be blogging more often haha.

adios!

gloomy gloomy- socceroos, i salute u (hahaha, oh how cheesy does tht sound?..)

oh what a miserable day!
well, i mean i don't personally feel miserable but the weather and the socceroos losing (more on tht later) and tht poor girl being murdered at the livingston shops (down the fuckin road frm me!!!) was all abit traumatic. i kept thinking i was going to be attacked at my home or something, and the house was all dark cos of the rain (which i have been looking forward to all year) and i was home alone and the wind blowing against the windows with the rain thundering down on the roof- i wanted my mum to come home soon!!!! hahahaha.

ANYWAYS.

australia lost!!!!!!!!!!!!! i swear i was so pissed off last night, i was literally fuming!!i wanted to KILL the referee, or at least hurt him real bad hahaha. but OMG! it was the worst feeling EVER!
we so close, SO DAMN CLOSE! another few seconds and it might have went to a penalty shoot out between the teams and our hopes would still be fukin alive!!!
but NOOOO! the blind referee who was standing 5 freakin metres away called out a penalty!!
it wasn't a damn penalty, u dumb-ass, it wouldn't even be considered a foul!!!! the italian fell over himself, he didn't come into contact with neil (who btw, is pretty hot)!!!! man, i was so gutted! URGH.
but i guess i'm really proud of OUR team! they achieved something tht no one ever dared to dream of in australia! haha
but DAMN, we were so close.....
oh yeah! ALSO, the look on kewells handsome face, when the camera went to him sitting on the sideline, shaking his handsome head- it was so sad!! i was like awwwwwwwwww, thts when it really hit me- AUSTRALIANS ARE OUT OF THE WORLD CUP!

now its C'MON ENGLAND!!! but its just not the same as going for your own country...

oh yeah- i love 183 club (again), if u don't know who they are, google them! OR wikipedia them OR actually it should be an AND download their songs AND watch their shows 'prince who turned into a frog' and 'magicians of love' yeh i know it sounds corny, but man! i'm obsessed.

BB06- michael. LOL

check it out- its michael from big brother!!! hahahaha.
no, i'm wasnt really that excited about meeting him, i just think he's cute.
though i have to say,he looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better in person than in photos or on the tv.

anyways, i was supposed to be on a 10 minute break, but me and my work friend (laurie) ended up lining up for freaking 30 mins!!! gosh...thank god my boss wasnt there, lol. i wudve been sacked on the spot.
lining up, was rather embarrasing, i was hoping no one i know would see me, and all was going well, when i saw huoy min and azlia. lol. i was like, oh shit! haha.
laurie refused to go up and take a picture with me, cos she sed she wud go all red and stop breathing cos everyone would be looking.
so, i had to meet michael all by my lonesome.
but yeh it was fun! i think i made a total ass of myself though haha. well, by the time we got there and it was our turn, laurie went off and got ready to take the picture at the side, so it was just me standing in front of him. it was SO WEIRD. ok here was our dialogue:

vanessa: "Hi!"
michael: "Hey!" (and he gets out his self-portrait and holds a pen)
vanessa, thinking, (damn! i don't want his autograph!)
and then there was like this long long pause where we were just staring at eachother- him with the expression of "ok, yeh what do u want?) and then me thinking "ooookay thens! wth?!"
vanessa: "Oh! you want my name right?"
michael: "yeh..."
vanessa: "oh haha, its vanessa"
michael: "is that just v-a-n-e-s-s-a?"
vanessa: "Yup."
michael: (as he is signing) "So you work at dymocks?"
vanessa: "Yeh."
michael: "ah see, i'm psychic!"
vanessa: "Yeh."
michael gives me the autographed picture of himself

above: look at the end of the 'y' in 'mikey', he puts two dots, so it looks like a smiley face!!! ahhaha. sooo cute!!!

vanessa: "Thanks, can i take a picture with u?"
michael: "Sure."
michael gets off his chair and i walk to the side where laurie is giggling.
i stand next to him and then laurie counts to 3 and presses the button on the camera
laurie: "Oh did that work?"
vanessa: "yeh i think it did" haha i wanted to get away!
michael: "oh we better check"
laurie comes up to us and i check.
oh great, laurie didnt take it.
michael: "ah see, thank god we checked! haha"
vanessa: "haha..yeh.."
laurie took two more shots and then i checked and yes, she did indeed take them this time (thank goodness!). i THINK i said thanks, i can't really rmb and then we just ran off laughing.
hmm..now that i think about it, i was rather anti-social to him and i GUESS i should have said bye or thanks or something to him afterwards before walking off.haha. oh well.



but all i wanted was a photo! not his autograph and not to talk to him. lol. the time when there was just a blank pause, was so weird, i mean- how was i supposed to know he wanted my name!! geez, he could have asked for it instead of making me guess! but yeh, overall he seems nice. haha. everyone thinks i'm a total tool for even wanting to take a picture with him. HAHA.

ah well, can't wait to see dino next week! haahahhha....

aww man, that 70's show is sooo funny. but kelso (ashton kutcher) and eric (topher grace) have left the show :( but its still so absolutely hilarious....aww fes!!! oh and they have this new guy called randy, he looks like matthew mcConaughy.

also, gilmore girls was really good too, the humour in tht is different to 70's show, its more mature and not as many "dumb-ass" jokes as 70's show. not to mention rory's boyfriend is sooo cute!!! he's so damn charming! and his name is cool- 'logan' hahahahha. check out this pic below- he's not that photogenic, but he looks better while acting/ in the show.



OMG, australia through to second round!!!!!
i remember setting my alarm for 3am as i went to sleep at 12.
then my alarm rang, i pressed it and rmbered thinking tht i will just lay back down for a while.t
he next time i woke up it was 4.30am.
i was like....oops. but then thought, "meh! its just croatia, australia will win for sure!" so then went back to sleep.
then i heard my dad come out and turn on the tv, so i decided to get up and just check the score- JUST in case. then i went outside and saw that the score was 2-1 to croatia!
i was like , "WHAT THE?!?!" and quickly sat down on the couch to watch.
AND THEN.like 2 mins later harry kewel SCORES!!! and me and dad made so much noise that my sister and mum woke up hahahaahahahha. but OMG that goal was soooooo awesome!!!! and that leap that kewel did!! SO CUTE! and my dad said that if i didnt wake up then kewel wudnt have scored hahahahahaahha. yeh, he's weird. :)

anyways, i'm so buggered, just finished an 8 hour shift and then work AGAIN tm, ohwell at least tm i'm hoping to take a pic with michael from bb hahaah, wish me luck! lol.

alritey gotta go play freaking solitaire showdown- wish me luck for tht too!! ahah
