wow... it's been a long time since i've updated my blog.. hehe.. WHY?? End of the semester is in 2 weeks time = project submission due date is just around the corner!!! That's why. Have been really really busy with my designs now since i can be staying in uni to do work until 3 am in the morning, and going back the next day (Sunday) at 2pm to continue! Seems like i'm very hardworking huh?? haha.. should show that to my parents.. then they feel pity for me!! haha...

Actually... there's still 2 weeks.. long time to finish the project, rite? It's b'cuz of my parents that i'm rushing!! cuz they're arriving in 3 days time!!! wanting to spend more precious time with them since they are here for the 1st time ever since i am here studyig for almost 3 years edi!! So, the results of me.. looking like a zoombie on Thursday when i pick them up from the airport! haha

Works aside... went to watch star wars 3 on friday!! Which was a good one definately!!! Star wars wor!!! haha... some of you may think.. crazy gal! so much work to do and not enough sleep somemore can go watch movie!! I NEED A BREAK MAN!!! afterall.. after that show.. saturday and sunday was spend in uni to do work! so.. i guess that equals it.

Then, 2 weeks ago was to celebrate Casey's 20th. Was a simple celebration but full of memorise! Simple dinner , KFC and Pizza at her place.. but that wasn't the exciting part.. it was the decorating which took us from 4 pm till almost 7pm! Had the theme as a romantic nite.. so we had candles lighted up the whole area which was really really pretty!!! It really looked like wedding proposal celebration than a birhtday... haha.. all these took us like 2 weeks to organize the that nites event... but all of us did have our fun! I'm pretty sure erbert had his fun with his "fire"!! rite??

Dinner outing as usual with the gang here... and we're currently planning on our Sydney trip after the finals!!! hehe.. looking forward to that definately! hehe..

Darn! I'm so tired after 2 days of holidays! Yesterday was definately a fun nite cum morning (as in this morning). Was basically at home the whole day trying to finish up as much assignments i have and at 5.05pm, got a phone call from wern jinn that their all in the city to watch Miss Congeniality 2 at 5.45pm!!! Crazy ppl gave me such a short time notice that i had no time to catch the bus at all but ended up driving down into the city at 5.35pm! The show was good, but not as good as the 1st one! All of us definately did learn something from the show which is the 4 steps self-defence... haha.. We were like doing it on the street over and over again like crazy ppl wondering on the streets! But definately with come in handy when the time comes! hahhahaa...

After that headed off for dinner then send wern jinn back and later ended up at fullarton! Visiting Edmund at his place and walked over to Teck heng's old hostel that he was staying in... Stayed there until alsmot 12 and headed back into the city for coffee and after that wanted to go back cuz Teck heng and michelle wanted an early rest and that goes the same with Erbert and me! But, when we almost finish our coffee... hong gunn called and ask if we wanted to go for a "drive"... and here we go again...

I went back home to park my car and he came and pick us up! and guess where did we go? We ended up at Barossa Valley! hahaha.. took about almost 2 hours drive to go there.. went up to the look out area.. and the 5 of us definately did enjoyed ourselves up there with plenty of galatic stars above shinning upon us!!! (it beautiful but not as the one teck heng and myself saw on the train on our way back from Melb last year) It was definately something that you wouldn't see in Malaysia! After that.. each and everyone of us was definately tired and headed back home at 5... hehe...

Definately a wonderful nite to remember.....

Updates on the whole of March! It's definately a major birthday's month! Lets see, how many was i involved in.... 6 of them!!! I'm so broke now $$$$$... So, who's b'day was it??

First one, Chok Fuk and Ying!!! A suppose pot-luck lunch cum surprise belated 21st b'day for the "twins"! Hope they had a good one!! haha...

2nd, was Yumays's @ Yummy!!! Her's was suppose to be a surprise supper at AL, but thanx to our beloved fren, Gay Leong for "reminding" her about the surprise.. and there its goes.. "KABOOM!!!!" she knew what was happening. But anyway it was still a surprise cuz she thought that her beloved Jaya was still in Melb enjoying his F1! But actually he was already back and all ready to celebrate her 21st!!! Well May... guess you should like the I-pod as your 21st b'day present!!!

3rd one!!! The one which consumes the most of our enegy! Michelle's 25th!!! wahahah... Mi mI old edi!!! where's papa?? We actually played hide and seek the whole day! We didn't want to call her nor did she wants to call us cuz she was afraid that we will "sabo" her but later on the day she did.. (it's sort of like a custom to this group ever since my b'day last year that every b'day boy/girl will get something "special"!) She had to meet us for dinner after all and after dinner on the way back to her aparment, while walking on the dark alley way... she was "saboed"!!! A group from the dinner place went back to get ready while the rest of us actually took our time to walk back into the city from China Town.... it was definately a fun one and a scary one as well!! haha.. it was 1st with water and flour! you think that's bad?? haha.. then the 2nd one came with the 12 of us with kiddies marker pens!! Look at her yourself!!! Isn't she adorable with coloured dots all over her!!!

Next, Yin yen’s 22^nd!! The celebration was at the beach! And that was my 1^st time going to a beach after my life time experience last year!! Thanx a lot to all my beloved friends that day for being by my side, encouraging me and helping me to overcome my fear of the sea!!! Thanx a lot again and love you guys so much!!

Lastly, just happened 2 days ago was Mr. Cheah’s 21^st!! Turned up at his place at midnight to have a mini celebration with a few of us.. then stayed on to chat and went ou for supper and not reaching home until almost 4am. And I had early classes the next day!! Damn.. I was so exausted! And that wasn’t the end yet! Having to hide from him the whole day again with Chok Fuk and Michelle to get his presents ready! Nothing much happened at night for his as he didn’t want to be “saboed”.. so, that was his wish from us! But the tradition hasn’t been broken by having a “super mixed” bubble tea from Eisen’s shop! This time it was made by his “son”, Erbert saying that he had added about 20 different flavours including green tea and milk tea!! YUK!!! After dinner, headed of f to K-box! Had 4 hours of karaoke!!! And that was until 3 in the morning! Went back to Michelle’s place, continued yaking!! Basically was… didn’t sleep the whole night! And the next day… I was totally a zombie!!! Hahaha

But all in all... i did had a great fun from the 1st moment i'm back here! And hope that the birthday ppl had their part too!!!
