So what happens to me lately ?

i apologize for not blogging lately because of laziness ? LOL...

Went to Ida & Jerome's 21st b'day party last night in Hosanna Heights .

There were lots of people celebrating their ever and only 21st .

We started the BBQ flame at 5pm , now i know it's not easy for a person to stand /sit (usually stand) to start the fire & to look after it so it won't get burn .

I met some new friends there , which i can't remember their name now =)

I received my last assignment somewhere on Sat ,

lucky me i got a Credit !

I was in a deep worry throughout the marking week ,

afraid that i might Fail or whatever which make me redo the assignment .

But when i was in church last few weeks ,

i began to pray to God

'God, You are the only one who can help me to pass my assignment , i must at least get a Pass 1'

And so , I did , even a better result .

How amazing is that !!!

However this is not over yet , one more Aboriginal culture assignment worth 1500 words is going to due on 11 oct , 5pm .

I HATE HATE HATE it !!!

Why can't i enjoy my 2 weeks sem break with joy ,

here comes the assignment disturbing my holiday mood .

J and I went to the ANZ nearby to open a new joint-bank-account .

When the accountant lady asked us 'So what's the reason you get this account together?'

J : erm.... to prove that we are together ?

By next week, we both each will receive a debit visa card .

It's good that with this account , he will take control of my money .

I will bank in my rental money every fortnight into that joint account .

Can i reach the star ?

First of all , i wanna thank God for giving me the strength & power last night .

I started work in the morning , came home for an hour sleep , then resume afternoon shift again .

After that , went to gym for 2 hours & ran/walk for half an hour (4.45km) .

How is that AMAZED!!!

I wonder am i eating enough ?

Anywhere , I'm going to join the Westpac Stair Climb on the 08 Oct '10 .

It is the highest building in the state ,

30 floors & 135m !!!

This is a very great opportunity to challenge myself ,

& whoever finish the race/walk , can view adelaide city from the tallest building .

This is a fundraiser for children's cancer .

I don't know if i can finish the race with the limited stamina i have ,

for now , i just want to train myself .

This afternoon , going to the Westpac House & have a try , see if i can make it !

Wish me luck !!!

A note for Florence

This is a 'Thank you' post to Florence Tan ,

who she had written a testimony about me in her blog .

Hey do you know that was the first time people talk good about me ?

Well , i admit i'm a funny person , but kind ??!!

Since Florence has written me a good testimony , then guess this is a pay-back to her .

Florence Tan ,

I knew this random girl few years ago in Adelaide .

She always wrote great things about what God did for her which made her a successful EN .

She work very hard to achieved her goal ,

it's good to know her !

Well Flo , no doubt that i was born in a Christian family ,

my family & relatives go to the Catholic church in Kuching .

They taught me to go to church regularly as a Christian .

Always love & serve God .

& now i want to shout to the whole world that i did it , in FAITH !

A note for Florence :

Thanks for what you have wrote about me . VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !

This is what God want His children to do

'Love your friends'

(part 2)

As mentioned, i joined the gym on Friday .

Ever since that day , i am very keen to go to the gym everyday . haha...

I was very tired , exhausted after first day of exercise in gym .

Muscle sore in my arms & both legs , but after 3 days , i couldn't feel anything , i felt more alive instead , which is a good thing =)

Great thing happen on Sat night in Paradise Community Church .

It was Hillsong United concert !

Such a meaningful concert only A$10 .

They (i think a group of 9 ) came all the way from Sydney .

Most of their presented song during the night was from 'Faith+Hope+Love' album .

I could imagine the crowd , those young teenage were screaming , shouting for them , include me as well =)

Now it's time to go to class =]

(part 1)

Hi blog :

I know i should give you some love by writing something on your wall .

Now just before i head off to bed ,

im just going to write about things that happen to me these few days !

I think i am starting to build a very strong & close relationship with God , our heavenly Father .

I have to admit sometimes i'm kind of lazy to wake up early then go to church .

Ever since Jee came back in July , we started going to Paradise Church every Fri night & Sun service . Somehow there is a very strong attraction which attract me to go to church every Fri & Sun, without missing ! At first , i love the music (the way they present their song & praise God), some people may not like it . After that , weeks by weeks i started realised that God is in my heart , & i am willing to give my time , strength & soul to God ! There is a strong powerful connection between Us which i can't explain in words . & with that strong connection , i am happy with my life & that's why i ended up joining gym .Maybe there's a message from God, that i must keep fit & healthy because i'm still young ?!

So i joined Jetts in Newton , & it's only A$17.95 per fortnight , membership fee A$104 WITHOUT ANY CONTRACT !!!

To be continue ...

I'm done

I know I neglected my blog for quite a while,

that's all because of assignmentS & work of cause !

Allright , I'm starting to love this kind of whether - hot & cold !

SPRING is coming, then SUMMER !

i should start packing all those long sleeve PJ .

Assignment due today ,

should be all fine

and I can settle down for work now.

Night everyone !

I'm 21st

I had an awesome 21st birthday party with my close friends on Monday night !

It really was GREAT GREAT GREAT with you guys, i have to say .

Without them , my 21st b'day in my entire life won't be memorable .

Thanks a lot guys , for those awesome presents , wishes & your presence in my life .

& also thanks for those b'day wishes in my Facebook ,

i wish i could have the time to reply ALL your messages in my Facebook wall .

In short , THANKS A LOT !

I have nothing much to say , let the photos do the talking !

Jane on the run !
Baking my b'day cake .

For my 21st party , i really hope i could invite everyone i know since young ,

including my beloved friends in Sibu & Kuching ,

even my close relatives .

I will invite as much people as i can , if only i can afford .


More photos can be found in my Facebook .
Night guys =))

Mama is cooking !

I had a sort of 'cooking class' from Christina this evening .

She taught me a few simple dishes .

The very first dish : LAKSA !

Can't describe how great & awesome was that dish ,

(sorry guys ,im not good in describing things )

but it cannot compare to the one i used to eat in Kuching .

I found that cooking wasn't that hard as i thought .

I just need some idea of what to cook , THAT'S IT !

Can't wait to celebrate my 21st with friends on Monday night !

Went to China Town Market this morning & I bought 2kgs of chicken wings for $4.90 , 2 packs of sausages $3.48 each , soft drinks $1.19 each .

Actually my plan was to invite 21 guests to my party .

Now only 14 on the list at the moment .

This shows that i only have this much of close friends in Adelaide after 3 years here ?

Im afraid not because some of them have work , late class etc ,

that is why i set the party to Monday instead of weekends .

My birthday cake this year would be special, i think !

You know sometimes when people come to your b'day party & they give excuses of not eating your cake ? They could just leave the piece of cake on the party table & walk away .

In my party, this is what i hate the most - NOT EATING MY B'DAY CAKE !

This year, i request Jane to make a very special b'day cake for me.

It features 21 cup cakes !

This is so that every guests must eat my birthday cake . haha..

I think should write everyone's name on it so i know who is not eating !

Yeah !

This is how my hair looks like now .

I had a hair cut + hair dye this afternoon done by a Korean hairdresser .

I love the hair style and the thin fringe in front .

& i'm all ready for my 21st birthday party on Monday !

Can't wait to see everybody dressing up nicely for my very own b'day party .

& i would like to see myself dressing up nicely , hair , make up etc .

On the 11 Aug, i received an awesome birthday present .

i bet it is the most and the only first birthday present this year ^^

will upload a picture of it next week ,

so stay tune .

Cheers everyone !

Makan makan

What happen ?

I keep eating no matter how much fat i have in my tummy .

i just can't stop eating .

Is it the weather ?

but no matter how much i eat , i just won't grow anymore !

That's bad , it means i waste my money to buy food and it takes no effect ?

COOK

Honestly i have to admit that I DON'T LIKE COOKING !
im just not into & not very keen to cook seriously i have to say .
but hey... this is what i have to do in a few days time where my housemate is not cooking for A WEEK ( i hope she read my blog )
it's like end of the world to me !!!
I'm lucky enough to have my best buddy Christina to cook a few meals for me .
Even so , i have to prepare for my own lunch also . T__T
My lunch could be as easy as 123 .
Sandwich , cereals , porridge , snack food ( i know it's not good for health ) etc ...
I have quite a healthy breakfast though -- bread + bacon + egg .


I wonder how is my brother getting on with his life in KL .
could still remember the last time i called him, it took 45 minutes !

My internet at home is over the limit so i can't really get access into Facebook .
For now, good night !
A hardworking girl like me deserve a good night sleep .

Just a little note for today #5

Work today was allright although some resident gave me a hard time .
I couldn't believe i'm doing more morning shift than before .
Important note : PAY INCREASE since end of July ! YAY!!!
This happen to every staff members across Australia . (i don't know about other sectors)


Bought myself a Razer keyboard last week as a reward of ... working too hard ?
That's funny huh ! =)


Am planning to buy myself another amazing present for my 21st !
Should make use of my tax return money after all the hard work .
Don't i deserve it ?


Learn something from the church on Sunday :
Do not love money as God will not fail you !
But sometime in life we really need money , now everyone in the world is talking about money , & every expenses is rising & we have no clue when is that going to end !
Hopefully the change of Aus new PM will make life easier .
Go Aussie, vote for the right person !


Oh I hate winter - spring cause i hate rain the most .
Clothes can't be wash every week now cause it takes time to dry .
What i do normally is to hang my clothes in my room, then i have my heater to dry them, sometimes it takes a few days though !
Arghhhh !!!

August !

First of all, my biggest apologies for not updating my blog .
Everything went well ,
school holiday is over and now everyone is back to school .
Well at least for me , my Cultural Perspectives on Health held every Monday .
So basically i only head off to Uni every Mon morning .

With God blessing I passed all my 3 subjects last semester .
& there is no exam for my current subject ,
this does not mean that i will 100% pass this sub ,
i've got to pass 3 assignments ,
all those 3 assignments will touch deeply into Aboriginal / refugees / migrant culture and into their community .
How am i to know their culture & values .
i must take some time to read & find out more about their culture & belief .
Library !!! It's time to find out more from YOU, library !

Few more weeks to my 21st birthday !
Currently still planning on a party .
Hopefully most of my invited guests will turn up .

I will try my very best to write something in my blog .
For now , good night !
Have a morning shift tomorrow at 8 .

Just a little note for today #4

I was late this morning to work .
My shift start at 0800 , & i woke up half an hour before that .
Probably cause of talking to J late last night .
It was all right after all ,
i stayed half an hour more , helping Maggie & Rossie to finish up their job .
Supposingly i will be having this weekend , mon & tues off .
Mon is a public holiday for Queen's birthday .
as time flies ,
the FIFA world Cup tomorrow night for the very first match between South Africa VS Mexico !!!

Just a little note for today #3

Dear diary:

My everyday life is full of excitement ,
excitement about work ,
too many unpredictable incident would happen just in front of my eyes .
Not to mention a couple days ago ,
one of my beloved resident whom had just passed away .
Her fragile body & skin makes her feel like giving up her lives .


Just an hour before she goes ,
one of us wishepered to her
'J , do you believe in God? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with Him in Heaven ? If you want to go, go in peace .'
She just won't eat or drink ,
all she did before she 'goes' was lying in bed whole day ,
she din't even have to shower .
That's just show that she willingly give up her life .

"I'm walking on sunshine , woh... ...
I'm walking on sunshine , woh... ... "
i just can't stop playing this song in my head ,
it's from GLEE season 1 .
and im loving it so much that i kept repeating that song all night long .

Melb babe

Everything stays well .
Trip to Melbourne was awesome .
Did not shop much this time ,
i was expecting more Guess / CK !
During this trip , i get to know some new friends ,
these included Wayne C. , Sean C. & Brian C.
They really brought us fun & cheers .
We celebrated Wayne's 21st birthday on our last night in Melb .
We had steam boat .
Here are some of the photos :

Helping auntie cooking crab

I am currently watching this American comedy-musical drama --Glee !
It's a great drama because it's all about MUSIC like High School Musical .

Just a little note for today #2

Heard that my dear cousin, Dorothy is back in Kuching .
How could you... ...
Anw , im waiting for tomorrow to come .
it's my trip with Esther to Melbourne, baby !!!
Guess i won't be blogging until im back on Mon ^^

I survived this weekDAYS and weekENDs ,
i filled most of the days last week with busy work .
i thought i could take a day or two days off,
but when i thought of my holiday in Melbourne
i can't stop working and picking up shifts .

Workplace job is getting tougher than before .
2 residents had past away this month
and now we have 2 beds empty .
This is not a joke !
St. George get together staff dinner on 5June ,
should i go ?

Just a little note for today #1

Went for fire training @ my workplace at 1400 .
LiMa & I were just in time for it , we were just 2 min late !
lucky Mahroo took our attendance ,
if not we will be considered absent .
in the course of absent for this time ,
we will then receive a warning letter from her !
after 3 times of warning ,
according to her we WILL BE fired by her !!!

LiMa & i were suppose to meet each other for lunch before our fire training .
we agreed to meet up at the gate of St. George at 1230 .
but something came up ,
& i ended up picking her nearby her place .
I was lost on the way to her place - mile end road !
living here in SA for 3 years, im still frustrated where is mile end road !
but anywhere , we stop by at one of the burger shop for lunch !
actually that doesn't consider lunch for me ,
it's just a simple snack to me .

i should have a good sleep tonight ,
i think i would be working these few days until my Melb trip comes ^^
Nights...

21 the BIG thing

Turning 21 is a monumental event, and should be celebrated accordingly.
At 21, i'm officially an adult and legal to consume alcohol .
The important thing is that i have fun and celebrate safely, among family and friends .
Wow ! The first thing that strict me is to THROW A PARTY !!!
Think about where i would like the party to be at before making out the invitations .
Call everyone i know and remind them that 18 August is the big day and no excuse will be accepted for failure to appear .
Make a wish .

Celebration with my own family will be great .
Either at a favorite restaurant, or maybe they will each bring a dish to someones house .
The best part of dinning at a restaurant is no one has to cook or clean up .
Dinning at a relatives is nice,especially if everyone brings something.

Get a little wild and loose (and don't want to do so in front of family),
invite friends to a favorite night spot.
Dinning, drinking and dancing can be a great time when done responsibly .
Dancing is not my type ?
Try a karaoke nightclub, concert, comedy club, play, a movie(and dinner) with friends .
it's just girls night out !

If i've got the money, plan a real getaway.
For a day,a weekend, a week, whatever.
It doesn't even have to be out of state,maybe a nearby spa treatment with just a couple of close girlfriends.
Maybe there is a nearby outlet mall i've always wanted to visit.
Visit places I never been before, travel can be great .

W-O-W this could be a BIG thing - 21
i'm really looking forward for it .
cheers everyone

I'm back to blogger

Since my last post ages ago , i'll try to post something in my blog (starting today?)

Having holiday would be fun & exciting , i think !
i say so because i am having an upcoming mid-year uni holiday starting June till Dec .
During this period of time , imma going to work as much as i could to fulfill my plan for Msia trip somewhere during summer .
i wanna escape this summer period, if i could !

Life is just flat ,
nothing interesting !
The one & only interest me is that imma going to Melbourne next Wed for few days with Esther =)
Im quite looking forward to it , not because of the weather OF COS .
it's great to see the other part of AUS .
It would be a shame to tell others 'OH, i've been in aussie for 3 years, & i've only been to Perth SO FAR... ...'!!!

Im great , i've done all my assignments for this sem !
i think i should keep my blog up-tp-date .

Easter !

Easter Sunday and Monday, shops are all closed !
I hate this feeling where you can't go anywhere but staying at home doing nothing .
My housemates went fishing somewhere which i don't know where ,
i was left behind at home because i felt sick .
I was meant to wake up at 9am ,
but i ended up waking up an hour before my alarm rings .
I just have to get use of this daylight saving .

Anywhere , i felt a bit nausea and my forehead was a bit warm (temperature rising ).
So i went back to sleep until 2.30pm .
Dad & mum,
do not worry about me ,
i'm absolutely fine now !

We were having holiday since Fri ,
everything will be back to normal tomorrow .
Catch the bus to school ,
work !

Time passes quick,
so i'm happy =)

It's my life

I has always wanting to update this dry blog of mine !
Something came up into my mind so I've decided to write a few words just to please the readers of my blog !
What can I say about my life here without him ?
He's gone for 2 weeks
but I still gotta continue with my own life eg working, studying, slacking, eat & sleep.
Give him another month ,
I guess he will be back soon .

Anywhere ,
I hate this autumn weather now !
It's cold in the morning and hot and warm late in the afternoon .
It's like going out in the morning wearing a long sleeve shirt + sweater,
then it's like 'aRh... the sun !'

KK trip !

Dear friends :

I'm doing fine here in Kuching .
& for your information ,
im spending my precious holiday with my lovely family in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah .
We woke up early in the morning to go to the very famous Mount Kinabalu .
The taxi driver drove us all the way there & back ,
it took rm250 !!!
anw , i did managed to climb as far as 0.5km .
that wasn't too bad .

*photos will be updated soon . Stay tune !

Im hoping to go back to Adelaide asap to help J with his visa .
i really hope that he could stay with me in Adelaide
if not i will be alone .


I think i will only continue to blog until i get back to Adelaide ,
cause the internet in my house is freaking slow and lag .
i hate the feeling of waiting .

im feeling good

I'm starting to miss my fellow friends in Adelaide now .
and someone is always on my mind every now and then .

Today the 14th Feb 2010 ,
here come the Valentine's and Chinese New Year .
i think most of us has forgotten that today you are suppose to be with your valentine .
seriously this 2 most important days SHOULD NOT be happening at the same day/time .


anw , im fully truly looking forward for my family trip to Sabah on Tuesday .
it has been quite a while since we last went for a vacation together .
see , i could even hardly remember when was that .

Kuc'ing

Finally im back in Kuching !
a place where you can find the cheap & delicious food .
but one thing i do not like is the traffic & the polluted air .
it really drives you crazy when there are traffic jam every single street because of this CNY season .
everyone are doing their last minute shopping .


I can hardly sign into Cafe World nowadays .
i should just stop playing until i get back to ADL .
the internet line is getting nuts than before .


Yes im back into a place where they are many crazy drivers !
they parked anywhere , everywhere they intended to .


Anw everynone is waiting for the day to come .
the day where we get the red packet .
=)

2 days...

Finally this day has come !
the day of my last shift then I GONGXIFACAI . . .


the minute i said 'good-bye' to my lovely residents & staff ,
i cried in my heart !
'I'm going for my holiday to my country , i'll see you when i get back.'
and their reactions were 'OH no ! i'm going to miss you.' (stuff like that)
i could still remember their expression as well ,
they were crying too !
anw , i hope the number of beds will not change until i go back . ( you know what i mean )
some of them are nice ,
some of them are just being silly .
take for example this morning while i was showering a lady ,
she was screaming 'GET OUT !' & was trying to punch us .
anw , i'm having a break & not thinking of the nasty one who gave me a hard time .

anything left ?

I'm happy !
& i dunno why .
Although i know i have to work 6.5 hours tomorrow & 3 hours on sunday .
It's weekend , remember ?


I have 4 days left in Adelaide ,
and surprisingly i have not pack my stuff .
i just got today off ,
& i have been working on mon , tues , wed , thurs ,
then sat and sun .
It's crazy !
& it's sad to hear that the gentleman in Rm 12 had deceased yesterday morning .
RIP .


i think most of my friends back home has already prepare for this coming Chinese celebration .
they are busy baking cakes , working , shopping for groceries etc .
I'm gonna decorate my house when i get back .
I bet the house must be 'empty' because the lady who used to put up decoration is in overseas . =)


What i'm doing today ?
washing , packing and going to some shops later .
See you people ! :)

coming valentine's day

That's it !
This blog is in red & black color now after a full refreshing .
& i would like to dedicate it to someone who will be my valentine on valentine's day .

6 more days . . .

I'm gonna edit my blog to brighten it up .
This blog is getting rotten because it's getting more & more BORED !
I dunno who else is reading my blog
but i knew my parents are ! =)


Work is giving me a headache now .
Some residents who are normal ,
turning to become mad .
While you are trying to be good to them ,
they turn around & say ,
'Get out here !'


anw , GongXiFaCai everyone .

Greating season

I'm getting myself ready for the coming CNY !
im just that desperate for the celebration .
People , just bear with me !


Just bought 2 dresses from valleygirl and Temp !
im loving those dresses in valleygirl .

i can't wait to wear it NOW .
( no pictures for the dresses as it will be worn during CNY ^^ )



This is gonna be my 3rd ipod after ipod shuffle & ipod touch !
Someone can have my ipod touch ^^

Happy summer holiday

Can't believe Jan 2010 is coming to an end .
Australia day is over .
16 more days until Chinese New Year .
This is an update for what's happening over the last 2 days .

25th Jan - Dinner / small gathering at Ivy's place .
As in my previous post i did mention .


Then late at night ,
a birthday surprise for Mr. Jee ,
and YAY he is now , FINALLY 21 .
He can have a key ( freedom ) .
I'm waiting for mine too !
OMG is this a hint or something ?
Anw i have a message for him :


26th Jan : Hahndorf trip
This year , we decided to take the bus and head off to Adelaide Hills , Hahndorf .
It took us roughly 45 mins to reach our destination .
We had lunch at German Arms Hotel .


As soon as we walk out , there were a pair of horses caught our attention !
Many of us suggested to take a 'horse ride' ,
and we did !
It was actually 20 bucks per person ( for adult ) ,
but they gave us a special price for just 100 bucks for 7 person .
Awesome so we hoop into it .


The horses took us to the well known strawberry farm !
I HAVE NEVER SEE OR EVEN STEP INTO A STRAWBERRY FARM BEFORE
in my entire life !



Allright , it was A$3 per person for entry ,
and they give you a small plastic container to collect your strawberry ,
and at the end before leaving the farm ,
you gonna pay A$9 ( per kg ) , i think , for the strawberry you have collected !
Those little strawberry although they look small ,
but it was so sweet ,
so that's why it was worth a visit !

On the way . . .
