i've finally uploaded all the pictures to facebook, and finished (sort of) my assignment for HTML webpage due next week.

quite happy with myself at the moment. anyway the weather has turned cool! awesome! today its like 21 degrees~~ and rain! oh glorious rain! everyone came out to see the rain! kirke was climbing on the balcony railings, Alex brought his brolly down to play in the rain. I love my flat!

I've been procrastinating to upload the remaining pictures from my camera till today, because I'm homesick. the first 2 weeks are over! so its gradually getting better!

I met my darlings from SPF.
Ameily who complained in her sms from Brisbane that she was dying in the heat, and Fa-ge. it was damn nice chilling with them, though poor Marcus was bloody left out in the girl-y conversations.
my last meetup with my babes. and Janelle even gave us v day presents! how sweet! i miss them so much , but I'm really glad i have the, their long long emails everyday comfort me so much. cannot imagine life without them.

And the day before i flew off, Hard Rock Cafe with hubby.
Hock: i finally brought you to Hard Rock Cafe
i miss him so much. too much. so i shall not talk about him for the moment.

And my first flight on budget. i know I'm damn spoilt la. i was like complaining how the terminal was so "ahem" budget. hhaha
but it was a really fun flight with the exception of my bruise. and the Indian chap beside me was staring at me use my camera and lap top on the flight.

Lastly! the plants we planted are growing!

HAHAHAH!! we are so awesome. okay.. gotta sun for class now.. whee
Janice. i shall not turn back.

i've been having sleepless nights.

first the night before school on Monday, min gave me anti histamines for my gigantic mosquito bite, and its supposed to be drowsy. AND I COULDN'T SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT till like 7am. and the construction started at like 8am. so i slept for 1 hour. my body is weird.

and last night. 2am, janelle texted me over the funniest thing, but thats between us. 3am, poor min was having breathing probs. So I had to medicate her with my inhaler, stay up with her and tuck her to bed. awww...

I'm the MUMMY at Flat 2! haha..

work has seriously been piling up, and i'm reading up for my workshop tmr. Tons of readings this sem, and I miss my science units.

another 114 days till I can hug you. till then i'll make do with my hock pillow.

janice. I wish for my prayers to come true.

okay, i'm in between classes now and using the free internet. I'm quite happy with classes as for now. and making more friends.

i'm sitting in the library using the free internet and guess what? the first phone rings. Its the same ring tone as my mummy's phone. Second phone rings. its the same ring tone as hock's phone.

WHAT IS THIS?

janice. i'm not going to cry.

well, its the last hour of valentine's day. well, its been a very very long time since I celebrated it, because partly I always have to start uni AND its weird cause the whole Singapore seems so lovey dovey and its so commercialised nowadays. ( I have too many 'ands' in my sentence. jules is going to be pissed with my engrish)

the thing about Singapore is that all couples seem to secretly compete (maybe its just me, but some how i feel that way) who is the most romantic of them all on valentine's day, and every where is crowded, therefore hock and I are super irritated by large groups of people.

So I wonder what it will be like when we finally celebrate valentine's day in 2011 together.

on a side note, I bet while you people have had a wonderful day celebrating or having sex. its nice to know the roots of this day.

Back in third-century Rome, the story goes, when Emperor Claudius II banned marriage because he thought single men made better soldiers, one passionate priest named Valentine continued to wed young lovers. Later imprisoned for his defiance, Valentine fell in love with a young girl who came to visit his cell. Before his death, the priest wrote her a letter--the first valentine.- from MSN news.

AHA! i'm so intellegent

okay.. i shall go back to prepare myself for uni on Monday, I'm looking forward to school to cure me out of this state of boredom. I've cleaned the tables and vacuumed the cobwebs in the balcony with alex; shaved will's hair.

janice. L.O.V.E

I'M BACK IN THE HOLY HOLY HOT PLACE CALLED PERTH.
THE PLACE WHERE YOUR FEET PERSPIRES TILL U CAL SLIP ON YOUR OWN SLIPPERS.

well, i think everything has been going quite well and i've done 90% of my unpacking with 1 last bag at zac's place.. totally forgot about my winter clothes. :)

and my new housemate Emma is awesome.. and the continuing housemates are just such a family.. kirke still isn't back but everything is starting to look good. Looking forward to ending my last semester of uni on a very happy note. except that i'm been feeling quite sick, maybe its the heat or the sand? (they are doing excavation outside my room) so i've been perpetually sneezing non stop.. and i should start drinking water like a cow.

anyway the flight on Tiger airways was actually quite alright.. the budget terminal is well. BUDGET. but still acceptable.. i had fun with the self biometric passport customs thingy. and it was quite fun walking from the road into the plane instead of the aerobridge. the space is quite okay for me since i'm a shorty.. but i have this enormous bruise on my arm because when i was coming out of the toilet, there was turbulence and i rammed my whole arm into the door.

oh well, i never fail to embarrass myself. haha.. thanks alex for rubbing my bruise for me.

i'm really starting to miss everything and everyone back home. maybe it will be better when i start uni and i have things to do. well, we always think too much when we have too much time on hand.

and i'm starting to like this new Internet system. :)

janice. updates updates updates. i miss you.

its Monday. my flight is on Wednesday. I'm really starting to wonder why my flight is on Wednesday instead of my usual Sunday. I'm starting to question myself.

i know that i longer i stay here the more i won't want to leave. i know you hate to send me off at the airport. we both know its damn hard to say the normal goodbyes. but I'm glad you are the most understanding one.

its going to be a really long journey. people ask if its difficult. its not.

its just tiring, daunting and an uphill journey. but you always hold my hands and laugh with me.

who cares about valentine's day? because everyday is like V day.

janice. love.

in 1 week's time i'll be heading back for my last / final semester in Perth. i'm feeling quite dejected. but nevertheless, its time to take my luggage and head back to the hot hot place i'll call home for the next 4 months.

i'm really looking forward to finishing my degrees and show hock around Perth and up north.

and not to mention i miss Alex and everyone else in Perth. well come to think of it, i haven't made an effort making friends there. everyone has like a huge bunch of friends, but seriously i can't be bothered. call me an introvert but i just hate to talk to people (sometimes) i would rather read or sit in the balcony and people watch. i like being alone nowadays. i prefer the quiet to the noisy.

well thats just me.

i'm quite happy that this Holiday janelle, grace and i managed to take time to meet up quite often.. for the city alive! party after chingay and yesterday at my house for CNY dinner. grace and i still wanna make "ondeh ondeh" the next time!!

on a simply random sidenote that grossed me out! today i went to buy toto for my mum and 1 (that 10 million toto draw..) and i was queueing with ALL THE AUNTIES AND UNCLES at marine parade NTUC!!

the queue was relatively long since its day 1 to start buying for the 1 day draw. and while i was getting closer to the counter.











SOME FUCKING COCKROACH JUST DASHED OUT FROM NO WHERE.

the auntie before me saw it. and said "KAH CHUA" (cockroach in hokkien) and before i could look down. The stupid fucker was on my feet.

i just let out a soft wail and kicked it off my leg. pretended to be damn cool.

BUT THAT WAS GOD DAMN gross!!

i better win that TOTO or else that stupid roach better die in its own shit.

janice..

well.. i've signed in to change Jules' link to her new page.

and i'm glad the first day of Chinese New Year is over, but we are still feeling exhausted from all the cooking and cleaning. i think at last 80 people and 1 dog turned up at my house. which seriously made the maid ME damn tired.

not talking about that. i had a damn nice dinner and walk around (and up) swissotel with my family with my eldest sister. will update later with the photos.

i really don't know if i'm looking forward to go back. because time passes like a freaking time machine back in perth. and sooner than i know. its all over. the 2 years. i was lamenting that my nephews and nieces are really growing up fast, i remember them as babies, now one is already in secondary school. and all of the boys are just sprouting like trees towering over me. oh well.

janice. gummy for me.

i'm sick and tired of cleaning the whole house, because of the construction next door my house is like full of dirt and sand. and my parents are rushing over the whole cny gathering at my house that its driving me crazy because i have to fit their last minute schedule into my very tight weekend schedule.

ah. whatever. is this what Chinese new year supposed to be? driving me to the brink of insanity?

I met one of my ex classmates Jayne from SPF on tne train with grace. it was really nice seeing her again. it gently reminded me how time flies. how we all have changed. how she is a mummy (pretty mummy though- on the side note.. i love pretty mummy) now and having to earn to support her own family with her husband. how she made me realise that we have to learn to be street smart and cash smart.

too much to think about too little time. sometimes people ask me why i stress myself out with small matters while the make merry their time away. maybe i'm just like that to me, life is too imperfect.

janice. i'm too imperfect.

just because I'm curious.. i went to check the met station of murdoch uni.. and the Max temperature today? 42.5.. NICE.. I'm so going to come out of the airport in my bra and panties..

10and I've started transferring the photos from my camera to my computer.. grr.. i have like onlygb of free space left.. oh well.. gotta spend some time sorting out and rearranging the stuff inside my computer. feeling like a karang guni man.. because i feel everything is useful..

before they changed the deco to I've pictures from so long ago.. from the stroll and dinner at orchard with hock after ChristmasChinese new year stuff. to my lunch with my lovelies at my house. the shopping at far east turned Indian food. dinner with Ben and farzana at bedok eating super unhealthy food. to the dinner with my uni people (and Zac's BABY). bowling with hock.

27/12/2008.. Hock and I went to Wheelock Place.
the Christmas deco this year was really a sign of the recession. but we still enjoyed the stroll down orchard road all sticky and sweaty with the tons of Singaporeans.
saw the Sweet Family.. which is damn lame..
had dinner at The Pasta Shop by Sakae.. which sucks like ass.. and was super a waste of money.. please never ever eat there..
and watched a movie.. but i can't remember what it was anymore.. haha..

28/12/2008: My Poly Care Group Besties came over for lunch

and everyone helped with the cooking.. it was damn fun..
Ryan beating the eggs for tiramisu.. and the rest of us in the kitchen making mushroom soup, mashed potato with gravy and etc.
lunch is served!!
and dessert.. after like 2 movies Ryan left and we went upstairs to have wineplay 5-10 and do tons of lame stuff..

30/12/2008: Far east shopping turned Indian Dinner
it really looked quite dodgy.. but we decided to try it.. and it was really quite good.. but rather expensive.. it was like 70 plus for 3 of us..
and we got to try alot of weird seeds and spices.. and laugh at tons of shit
but the food was really not bad especially the chicken tika..

1/1/2009: dinner/bbq with the alumni at Edwin's place.. all pictures are with Sheryl..

2/1/2009: Dinner with Ben and Farzana at Bedok
