The Weekend Before School Started

The weekend before school started, I was just dying to go crazy. Couldn't let my holidays just pass me by without any craziness right?! Plus, I spend a whole week staying over at my friend's house spending some alone time with myself.

So the last saturday before school started, I decided that it was time to go out and let loose!! Dragged HR, Stacey, Wern Yii and myself to Lions at Melbourne Central!! The music there was sooooo good and IS still awesome!!

Its like a really dim, wide and cool chill out pub, the kind where you can opt to sit at one corner and talk with your friends and still hear them very clearly, or either sit nearer to the stage/dance floor where you can get into the dancing crowd moving along to the beats of the bass drum. The live rock band was GREAT! They belted out tons of hits, and everybody was just crazy. If you don't like doing all that, you can opt to play pool at one corner of the pub as well, or either just sit and watch soccer still playing on the few tvs around the place.

We went there around 10+ and football was on!! It was sooo packed!! They were showing live footage of Japan vs Australia, and everybody was just cheering and jeering. Haha, it was so cool, cause when the Japans scored the 4 of us were like YEAH!!!!, amidst the vast sea of Australians. Haha, a cool way to start the night. Oh, Japan won by the way. Whee!

It was champagne galore again.

Stacey's still stuck on her first pot of beer. Thats what we had first before we moved on to champagne. Haha, she took quite long to finish it. Keep going!




Wern Yii and me. I've known Wern Yii since the start of this year but only hung out ONCE before this. Haha, I never called her out cause I always had the idea she had a lot of friends and was having the time of her life. But little did I know, she was rotting at home. So, I pulled her out that night, and boy, did she have fun!! Haha, we're meeting up more now. Everytime either one of us is bored (ie, HR/me), who do we call!?
WERN YII!!


We had a long list to cheers to.
Cheers to getting together!
Cheers to aiming to have at least 2 H1s next semester!
Cheers to the start of school!
Cheers to anything and everything basically. We went bonkers. Haha


Lousy posing. She makes it so obvious the bottle is empty la!!



Look at my pose. This is called getting into the role of the character. Ok, Im starting to talk rubbish.


All 4 of us in the dancing crowd. Whats with the "twist" sign man?!?! All 3 of them are doing it. Haha, I'm not going to conform.

After our rockin' night in Lions, we adjourned to Chilli Padi where they serve the best Roti Reuben (Closest thing you can get to a Murtabak) in Melbourne. Wahhhhhh....super good la!!!

HR under the heater (that black thing behind him is the most useful thing in winter) playing with his uber cool camera.

Second Part of the Holidays

I didn't realised its Friday the 13th today! Not that it means much to me, but they've been going on about it on the morning shows. They call it Black Friday. Haha, this reminds me, my friend turns 21 today! He's been saying its so ominous. Come to think about it, I turn 21 in the midst of my exams! A HUGE bummer. My exams are from Nov 6 - Nov 23, and knowing Melbourne Uni, the third year students will probably be put in the last 1 1/2 weeks. So, my Nov 16 will probably be right smack in the middle. Bleah. And no, celebrating it earlier or later doesn't work. Its my 21st! Not that it matters much, cause voting doesn't appeal to me nor do watching R21 shows since you can just get it off the net! But apparently, they take 21st birthdays very seriously here, so I'll prolly throw a party!

Speaking of 21st birthdays, we went to a party in a club called Sevens (http://www.sevennightclub.com) on 07/07/07 to celebrate a friend's friend's brother's birthday party. Haha, its always like that when you hold a party at a club. You never know exactly who the people coming to your party are. Either way, the pictures are below.

But before I show the pictures, here are my results!! Released on 06/07/07, I couldn't sleep the night before cause I was expecting to fail at least one subject, but lo and behold, God is good! =D For the amount of effort I put in, it could only be Him, and not me doing the job. HUGE SMILES!! The parents are pretty impressed as well.

Speaking about the parents, they're in China now doing their missionary work from 10 july - 19. I can't say much about it cause they may get in trouble with the police, but I urge you friends to pray for their safety.

Anyway, here are my results!!

Here are the pictures from the party.

Me drinking cranberry juice. Yumyum.

All these girls are like the birthday boy's sister's friends, and with them in sight, the whole place gave me the feeling of a chinese KTV lounge. Whoops! Don't mean to be mean la. Ok, I shan't talk any further about them. Hee. Keep your opinions to yourself, Janice.

Shots galore.

Nice background. See, I was a good girl. I totally didn't touch alcohol after the really havoc night out 2 weeks ago at BLVD with the tons of champagne, shots, vodkas and Bacardi 151s.

I drank water! Ta dah!! So good right!! Haha, but it was more cause after that night out, my stomach's totally turned off by alcohol, which is an awesome thing. Whoopee! But I can foresee it won't last long. Bummer. =(

Birthday boy's ENORMOUS cake that he didn't get to eat, cause he was totally knocked out, and had to be carried out by the bouncer.


Paul and me. I think I look nicer with one eye close, and Paul went back on Thursday (10/07/07) for good.

Chik, Stef, Tav, Jan, Ian.

Having fun doing stupid poses.

Picture with the DJ, pardon my uncivilised friend. =)

A couple more scandalous stories arose from this night out, but the night out at BLVD 2 weeks ago still stands as the BEST and most havoc night out. Heehee, but none that you guys should worry about. Its all stories that we exaggerate to spice up our lives. Heeee.

First Part of Holidays

Ok..after some complains, I've decided to drag my lazy fingers and brain to blog again. You see, I was never a blogger, and never got into the blogging thing altogether. But since I came here, I decided to start blogging for the benefit of those close friends so that they'd know what I've been up to.

Haha, proved harder than I thought cause I'm not blogging material, and never got use to the idea of writing out my doings (thats why I've never kept a diary of sorts). Pictures are so much better. Hee..oh well, but I'll try my best! Here goes again. And when I have the time, I'll blog on the car plates and the sort of weird sushi flavours they have here. Its pretty cool! =D

Its been the holidays, and I've not been doing much! Just lazing around, and chilling with my friends here. Shopping, sightseeing, relaxing at my friend's house, partying, the works. Nothing much though, but in my opinion, its been one of the best holidays so far. There's just something about not worrying about anything in the world, doing whatever I want, relaxing and enjoying my own and my friends' company. Maybe the fact that the parents are not here also contributes a huge part to it. But I don't think so, cause I've not done anything which need the parents' permission. I guess sometimes its just nice to have a quiet holiday, or a quiet weekend. Stay in, chill, and just do simple/therapeutic stuff, like clearing out the garbage. Haha, I was helping my friend clear out heaps and heaps of plastic coke bottles cause he was too lazy to throw them out. I placed them in the recycling bin, and felt so good after that, like I killed 2 birds with 1 stone! I cleared his place, and did something environmental friendly. Soooo therapeutic man. You guys should try it. Just stay in one weekend, and maybe clear your room. Don't think so much, just throw whatever thats useless. The more you dwell on its sentimental value, the more you'll keep it! After clearing out bagloads from your room, the feeling of accomplishment is GREAT. Try it some time!


This was one of the weekends, me and my friends went to this K-Mart in the suburbs that opens 24 hours! We didn't buy anything much, just touch here touch there, play with stuff, fiddle with the gadgets, press all the buttons on the dolls. On the whole, just being a whole lot irritating to the K-Mart staff. Haha, thats why they kept walking pass where we were! Checking on us it seems! Hee, lucky we didn't get into trouble.

Miss bunny wabbit.


HUMONGOUS panties!!!


I totally love this nike dunks!! Went shopping one day at Smith Street, saw this, totally fell in love with it, plus my friend had this 30% discount thing, so the price fell to 60 bucks!! But save money I MUST!! I only buy stuff that scream to me. This dunks sure did! But when I tried it on, it didn't scream as hard as when I saw it on the shelf. Nevertheless, I shall post it for you guys to admire.


Intricate designs.




Then one day, while I was taking the tram home from the suburbs, I fell asleep half-way cause it was an hour's ride, and when I woke up and look out, I saw this familiar face crossing the road. Lo and behold, its matthias!! Wasn't too sure, so I rang up mummy, and she connected me to him. Haha, such a coincidence! He was here on holiday by himself, staying at his friend's apartment. Plus since his friend is working, I offered to bring him out! Pulled along a few friends, and off we went shopping at St. Kilda's, Bridge Road, Smith Street, and the works. Pretty sweet!

Infront of Krispy Kreme at Melbourne Central. Haha, cause he likes all things sweet and delightful, we brought him to eat all the really good cakes, donuts, ice cream. Yum yum!

Matt, me, Stacey.




Oh. I had to put this in. Haha, me and stacey bought this bra. Nothing special, but I TOTALLY LOVE the colour!! Its soooo gorgeous la!! Oh, and its weird that all 3 of us totally gelled (Don't think there's such a word, but oh well) together. I thought there would be some awkwardness, but there wasn't at all. I'm not close to matt AT ALL, and stacey and him don't even know each other, but the way all of us interacted was as if we knew each other for years. Can you imagine, we were all shopping for lingerie with matt around, just the first day we met him. Haha, and when we were trying out stuff, he was giving us opinions on which coat, or dress, or shoes, or pants is nicer, and vice versa. So cool.



At St Kilda's the next day. We saw 2 EXTREMELY gorgeous and HUMONGOUS dogs. A husky, and the maltese below. Maybe cause its winter, thats why they're much more furrier, hence, the really HUGE look. We saw so many dogs at st kilda's that day. Even one ENORMOUS poodle-like dog that was as big as the husky. Pity it didn't occur to me to take pictures.


Totally love how they style their shop's exterior.


Thats the end of the 2nd week of the holidays.
