yesterday was last exam, so afterwards, went strait to ct with mai good uni buds =) first time we're hanging out and not studying- hahaha. nyway, we go eat jap at Ichiban boshi (?)and have a great time- they have the craziest spoons, they have this kind of notch where you can kind of rest the spoon on the edge of the bowl so as to prevent it falling into your soup- so simple yet so effective! It as also the first time iv'e seen a guy soooooooooooooooooo tall- lol- was unbelievble! you had to be there to comprehend just how tall i mean! lol

that aside, after eating, the group went to Sharkie (?) to play some pool tho i'm new at it- pool's quite fun=) cept the cue is too heavy.. and too long. lol- apart from that- heaps fun=) so relaxing and casual- we should go more often!

played till around 5, then split off ( mainly to go pc *cough subin*) lol- so whilst i headed down towards central station- did a bit of shopping myslef=) relatively productive...with the cash i had at hand- lol- i alreadi took money out of mai account twice that day- so i thort...no more. lol nyway- my buy of the day- was when i was almost about the cross the park, opposite capitol- i went into a store and i found the perfect sized tissue box to fit into mai small small car- haha- the tissue boxes are TINY- so they fit well=) kinda cute too- lol- so i bought 8 of then=) hurrah!

all in all- great way to ease into the start of hols!

and today? well- slept late last nite- so slept in thsi morning ( not like i don't every other day haha) felt great=) afterwards, drove around and shopped a bit with mum

better days to come!

taking a break, decide to xanga=)

hows everyone with their exams? fun hey.

I was saying to leane b4, how uni exams involve 1. alot more info and 2. a lot less time to cram all the info- and that maybe, if we go back and do the HSC now, with our newly revised cramming methods, i think we'll all be 100's hahaah

nevertheless, i do the oddest things when i'm trying to avoid study- haha. i paint mai nails ( but only on one hand, since the other hand is too difficult and cbb haha). I "insist" that i can't work unless my study environment is absolutely clean- so i go and tidy everything up. Then i tell myslef that i'd study better if i feel better. and i feel better by looking better. i.e. finding a nice outfit to wear hahaha. earrings to match? hahaah. Then i say that i need to eat to replenish my energy source, to be able to do effective study- and jsut so happens my mum refilled our food cupboard- so hey.. lol

playing with hair whilst studying is quite fun- haha- "pen in hair"

soso- what do u guys do to get outta study?haha

but when the time comes- we all get ourselves together =)

going, going...

breaks over, back to study=)

goodluck for exams everyone! see you on the other side=)

long time no xanga!

hows everyone goin?

today, my cousin and his family went back to hk, after staying with us for around a week

here we are =)

cute huh? hahaha

nyway, my cousin and his family are awesum- they love star gazing and since in hk- the sky aint' all that great ( from pollution) coming to Australia meant they could spend endless hours gazing up at our sky, and taking amazing pictures of galaxies and constellations etc. taught me how to identify stars too- anyone interested? i can pinpoint a few.. kinda.. lol- no guarantee:p Also, mai uncle's a doctor back in hk, so i ask him if he's seen people with 6 + fingers each hand- and he says he sees it all the time =O- as a radiographer later on- i would so love to xray stuff like that- in a way, radiography is like photography- sounds fun =) can't wait! speaking of which- clinicals are coming up- 3rd week of hols i'm going down ryde hospital for a week ( not as a patient haha) but to learn how radiographers acutalli go about doing their job- kinda excited=) hahah- before, i didnt even noe if this course was right for me but man- once it started, i felt i was right where i should be =)

what else- oh- HAPPY 18th JOO finally of age! Being young aint' all that bad tho- haha- being 18 now doesn't mean we cant' go shopping at officeworks for sharpie highlighters anymore rite? haha

speaking of which, i was almost not allowed into an rsl club yesterday- me, michael, zhi wen, xubin and daniel ( radiography buddies) decided to go eat some pho after uni, so i could bum away 2 hrs b4 i had to take my driving lesson- so we get there- then lady asks us for ID- so we show her- michael, zhi wehn and dan passes, but when she sees mine- kinda stops a bit- then looks a bit- then looks back and goes to me " you can't come in" O.O so we get a bit confused- y can't i go in? ( michael says i look sus --" lol) meanwhile- xubin, cos he's an international student, onli has his uni card, which has no proof of age, so the situation becomes a bit chaotic, everyones' a bit confused hahaha- so in amidst all this- i keep asking her " y can't i go in? whats wrong?" and the lady is like " you need a parent/ guardian with you" - and i was like * what? i'm 18!!!*-_-" sif not check mai date of birth properly *grumpy* - nyway- after all that, i'm finally allowed in, and xubin after getting a member to sign for him- we were all able to go through=) and thank goodness for their large bowls of pho to make up for it! =)

after a satisfying meal- we part and i go take mai driving lesson- having not gone with my instructor for a drive for a while- i've gotten a bit sloppy and picked up some lazy habits ( haha naturally)- but after a few turns, back to where i shoudl be=) so drove around a bit- fixed up mai TERRIBLE parking =) haha

so that's where i'm at after a few weeks of no xanga-ing- haha

keeping u guys updated,

Paintball~

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 12:05:49 GMT

woke up at 6, 4 hours of sleep, 20 minutes to get my ass out the door- chucked mai contacts on, grabbed a pair of shorts before heading off to pick up ray and wad to make our way to blacktown heartbreak ridge- ministry of paintball

we get there just on time- no extra $10 - so we mark ourselves off and get our uniforms- and the smallest size was still way too big- but alls good- rolled them up a couple times- felt pretty breezy haha

so the game starts- after the first round..outta paintballs O.O- refills- $20 for 100 so expensive -_______-" who knew they ran out so fast! lol- nyway- the day keeps going- and before we noe it- its the arvo and we're outta amo, so we call it a day. injury wise- i guess we all got our fair share- my bruises were quite......colourful tho- haha- but the pain was worth it all- had a blast!

after paintball- go Bob's place for the nite- thanx bob for letting us bum! spent the rest of the nite with insane singsta- ing, with joo and nick doing the best raps and best ever version of Dido haha and both me and wad agreeing that "its tricky to rock a rhyme to rock a rhyme thats right on time its tricky, tricky , tricky, tricky!!" haha- also watched wan and nick play singsta- pong LOL! and a few girlie drinks to end my day =) hahaha

photos for viewing pleasure =)

Happy 21st Tox!

Great Guy, Great 21st. Great food?

Met at 7:30, then went to eat jap at the ct, whilst we chat away and gaze intently at the drinklist, we think hey, the food is taking wayyyyyyyyy too long- so we signal over to the waitresses- who turns a blind eye =O now times that by a billion- and that leaves us 1 hr into our dinner....but with no dinner? lol- so by then we get a bit agitated- and finally when a waiter does come over, its bad news- there's no more yakisoba Flustered, ZW quickly orders something else, only to find half an our later, that a waiter has bought over a dish of yakisoba?! even more flustered- we find out that what the waiter meant was yakiudon- not yakisoba- when clearly they said yakisoba! nevertheless, ZW gets her yakisoba- but now what? Andy, who ordered the yakiudon, now must order a different meal. Meanwhile, i stare at my food looking rather gloomy and alarmed- the picture of ox tongue on the menu was a beautiful mouthwatering PLATTER of nice juicy ox tongue- at least 20 pieces to share around! and what i got? well....6 pieces of thin ox tongue, a stove, and no rice. Doh. Jackson digs into his bento box and Sunny gets his rice dish and shares it around with the still hungry group. And well wendy, after 2 hours, she has no dinner, one drink, and is tomato red ( from fury of course, but really from drinking hahaha ) haha- nevertheless, despite our hunger, we fix oursleves up after with boxes of 20 nuggets, find ourselves a k room, and we think- well the day wasn't so bad after all Happy birthday!

wow.

There is a microwave line O.o- crazy hey? then again, its about time people realised that 1. buying uni food is way too expensive and 2. they're not as nice as home made food nyway:P haha- nevertheless- now that they've realised- the line is well.......quite long. and since everyone uses the microwave for around 1 minute or so, then well....quite a long wait- hahaha- PLUS last time, there were these girls...who tried to boil water in the microwave for their instant noodles -_____________________-' they chucked in a few bowls of water and pokes in 5 minutes into the microwave and the whole line is O.O ( luckily there are 2 microwaves, but still- makes the process slower!), and thena fter their 5 minutes- they open it and kinda go- * oh not hot enuf* and chuck it in for longer ... erh. --' lol
uni friends are awesum- i've found maislef an awesum hangout group- "coed" hahaha so its great- and for u lidcombe bums- u'll find me down at ipoint =)
keeping in touch with mai old buddies is a bit more difficult these days - with tight uni schedule and everyone with diff free times- its so hard to meet up and have enuf time to hangout! tho i'm gonna try harder now- to meet up mai old pals whenever i can =) was so great to see everyone at michael's and julia's birthdays =) miss u all =) speaking of which: HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY JULIA!!
jumping back to lidcombe- labatory practicals are quite interesting- haha- tho the initial site of an ACTUAL human leg or a human arm can be quite overwhelming- " meat juice" ew- lol- but nevertheless- it was quite a good experience- and surprisingly enuf, a human arm is acutalli quite heavy.....
seems uni and study has alreadi consumed mai life- been studying anatomy notes lately ( physics aside for now- hahaha) and then just today i hear like CSI mention stuff like *clavicle* and *scapula* and i was like OH I NOE WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT! hehe
time is so precious i've realised- packed timetable doesnt' make life easier, nor the fact that even tho i go uni 4 days a week, i have to go work fridays and saturdays so if u want me...then book me earlier! hahaha ( jkjk )... (make that 2 weeks in advance) hahaha jkjk
speaking of which- i now have a job=) i work as a receptionist at a dental clinic in castle hill=) the work's alrite- its a nice airconned environment and the staff are heaps nice. so bascially, i take phone calls, do data entry, sterilise stuff, develop xrays yeh........fancy stuff like that- hahahah " Hill's Family Dental Practice, this is Dorothy speaking......" hahah
and speaking of that- i have work tomorrow- so byebye!

nyway- since i hadn't eaten anything since, was super hungry- so after k- following the lead of joo and kang, we go korean resturant. along the way- stop by to check out a street performance- was pretty crazy haha. nyway- we get to the korean resturant and whilst some eat and I dig into some JJANGMYUN ( jealous wad? lol)- the others well.....u guess haha

so tired O.O but all worth it hahah

starting from yesterday ( 24th), we met up at 11 @ central station- and for once i'm on time =) hurrah! we waited there a bit for the rest of the group- then off to yumcha at marketcity! so ( in the order of seating), me, wad, dilsh, sarah, robin, jon, wan, davy, albert, kai, tai, mace and ray ( later colin joined us) =) so thats 14 of us packed on a yumcha table- by far the noisiest group- lol. thanx for the shout albert! after yumcha..after yumcha.....( gosh- so tired my memories are a bit iffy) oh- after yumcha- we galaxy world for a bit- then karen and leane came and since they missed out yumcha- went with them to food court- then met michael, and then meet up again with albert to go Karaoke at greenbox plus- doesn't seem as good as expected, especially since it just newly opened not too long ago! two rooms for all of us and we K for 4 hours- so much money was used up there O.O - after singing- we meet up ruvi and kev - and since we're all a bit hungry and was getting rather late- ditch movie and go pancakes at circular key ( wasn't my idea- since i'm not fond of pancakes) but nevertheless we go- waited a bit to get all of us seated- and by then- all hungry- so we quickly order- once again- 2 tables - and our dinner table ROCKED lol- we had david wan haha- and whoever says pancakes on the rocks is only good for pancakes ( i object) the meat and crepes are BEAUTIFUL- pork ribs and Tabriz with a lemon lime bitters to go! so yummy then came the pancakes.. had fun watching "happy boy" michael kwan eat his super sweet " the ultimate" pancake- so much for going on a diet huh michael- lol- anyway- when our table ordered, we wrote down everyone's orders and cost ( to prevent chaos when paying the bill) we had a swift and satisfying dinner with little annoyance or disturbance- i'm keeping the bill for our 10 year reunion! haha

after being at pancakes for 2 hours, we train and bus and walk and get to albert's house a bit past 12- where the fun was just about to begin!:

singstar- regardless of our 4 hour K session, we felt it was still not enuf, so singstar was the perfect solution! scores ranged from "tone death" to "superstar" lol
pool- tho i sucked pretty bad, watching others play pro pool was pretty interesting haha
drinks- blueberry, passionfruit and guava cruisers got our party off to a good start, some had shots, while others tested michael's newest concoctions- haha
poker- learnt to play texas holdem- group wad and jonno had crazy beginner's luck and won most of the games- hahah- and jon, after losing and drinking 2 shots, got knocked out and slpt for the rest of the night
catch the pig? - also known as chinese hearts i think- was pretty kool card game which required a lot of thinking- and being a beginner, playing at 7ish in the morning, without any sleep- it was quite obvious i didnt' fully catch on- lol, nevertheless beginner's luck is always handy =)
sleep- what sleep? most had little or no sleep- but by around 8ish, some people retired to sleep for a few hours on either the couches or ( like me, ying, ray and mace) slept on the floor- lol- pretty good

all in all- the day passed too quickly! lol lots of fun and great memories! thanx again to albert, davy and leane for their hard efforts at planning!

pic of the day:

the combined efforts of eric and jono- managed to stop pong! lol
