Until now, I still can't believe that 4.5 weeks just flew by like that. Sydney theolo is over and my 1.5 week short holiday in Melbourne, I found myself in Perth. Super hectic because I have to pack. Thank God, XW and Mel come over to help me out. They are very very efficient I tell you. But I secretly think they came because of Krispy Kreme. See Stan, I told ya they are good weapons for bribing:D Even if they are retarded.



Finding a strategy before starting


Packing!!! Honestly, I don't remember having so many clothes.


We found some 6 months old lollies:) Ate it and we are still alive!


Potential blackmailing photo on my camera. This one is the more tame one because you can't see his face. Oh, that is Wilson trying to expand my hairbands.


Just came home from an awesome BBQ with the Perth youths. I actually miss these people although I saw them like a month ago in Singapore. Awesome food:) Nom nom nom.

XW rejecting me:(

Really old mashed potato found in Ben's house. So not eating it.

Ok guys, we are finally at Heathcote and food!!! Nom nom nom.

At one point of time, cockroaches were falling from the tree:/ Ben was sitting next to me on the bench and we were talking about something random when he asked, 'Serene, is there something on me?' And there was a big ass roach on his shirt running upwards. Obviously I screamed and Ben did a girl scream with me as well:)

Still hungry hence still hanging around to BBQ



Tabasco makes everything complete:)

Intense conversations going on here

Indo mee ♥ ... Haven't had it for ages!


It's feels good to be back in Perth:)

Despite efforts of procrastinating, I got to look for a job. Prolonged fun time is over and according to most of my working friends, once you work, your life is O.V.E.R. Thanks for the heads up guys but I'm not gonna allow work to take over my life. Well, I hope it doesn't anyway.

When I looked back, I think I had learnt a lot over the 5 months I was away from Perth. The short work stint in Singapore taught me a lot about the work environment and cultural differences. Ok, I grew up in Singapore but I think somehow Australia has influenced me in some ways. Sydney theolo was good except for the fact that I regularly get busted for my clothes which I don't think is fair but I will just be more accommodating if it makes the world a better place. I feel really blessed that I am able to make it for theolo though:) Melbourne was overall awesome because I know people do try to make time to bring me out and I truly appreciate it.

There so many things to say in each major event and I want to do a separate blog entry for each one but somehow, my life is super hectic. Oh, and I finally got a new lappie which is super awesome because it's fast:) I know I am backlogging half a year stuff but I really want to get them done because I am damn forgetful. I will eventually. Now that I have a computer to myself, one day I will just sit in front of my lappie and churn out 10 blog entries. I promise they will come real soon!

Jetting off to Sydney ♥ 12:38 PM

I always thought that Sydney Theolo is something still far away in the future after making the huge decision in September.

Tonight I am going to leave on a ONE-WAY ticket and honestly, I don't feel ready even though I had been praying to God for strength to get through this theolo. I don't know. Perhaps, it is the fear of the unknown or maybe it's the things I had been hearing from others. Heck, I even had a nightmare last night again. Nevertheless, it is too late to back out anyway. I just gotta tough it out for 3 weeks whether I like it or not. I am an optimistic person and I know I will try to find some joy in being there even if I hate it. Afterall, I am there to prove everybody that it is not that bad:)

The short 3 months I spent in Singapore seems to be like another summer spent during a uni break but perhaps a little earlier than the usual one. I even got to work as a researcher! As you know the drama me, there are many things that happened to me that don't usually happen to people.

I know I haven't been updating my blog because

1. My laptop died and you get to see me more often lately because my dad finally decided to sponsor me.
   
2. I had been insanely busy catching up with friends. The cons of having too many friends
   
3. I am just lazy
   

I promise when I get back from Sydney theolo, I will update it in Perth. I know I am super drama but I am honestly on a one-way ticket and I am still not over the fact that Singapore might become just another destination I can choose on my work leave. Although I had yet to find a job, my body is screwing me over and the little bits of rough patch here and there, I am sure God has prepared something for me.

I had yet to pack my bags and my flight is 4 hours away. I should really get off my computer and get around my errands and pack my bags.

Wish me luck and a safe trip:) And oh, I wish you all a very Happy New Year:) God bless!

Singapore Discovery Centre ♥ 10:49 PM

We were supposed to go to the Playground but it's closed:(


So we went to Singapore Discovery Centre instead. All the way to Joo Koon! Ha. How many of you have been to that station? We went past Pioneer station too. And we cracked up laughing when we heard how they pronounced the word. Pah nia- Bad life in Hokkien?


So freaking hot... >.<

Finally we got there.








Esther hit her head when she was trying to get of the helicopter. She is never been the same ever since:D








Got to watch 3D movie:) Some wolf movie.


Then off for dinner!








On the bus


I like this photo:)


And we are in Japan:)


Japanese for dinner! Today was tiring. Another day with my buddies:)

I am not one that is born with a silver spoon ♥ 4:06 PM

It annoys me to no end when people think that I am born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Yes, I do buy heaps of things. Yes, I always have time to go out.



Ever heard of a keen eye for bargains and a whole lot of energy?



I agree that my parents pays for some of my stuff but I do work and save. Oh wow, that's something new!



It's just the same with my achievements. Like most NORMAL people, I do work hard for it. Yes, I agree that God is on my side at times and help me suceed but if you have not realised, GOD WILL NOT HELP YOU IF YOU DO'N'T HELP YOURSELF.



So please, stop being so critical and accuse me of being a spoiled spendthrift. I work hard for my money and I have every right on how I spend it.

Earthquake tremors felt! ♥ 6:35 PM

After 22 years on Earth, this is the first time I felt tremors. Always wanted to know how it felt like. Surprisingly, nothing shocking. Maybe because it wasn't extreme enough. I could see my full length mirror moving, my chandelier was shaking and when I sat down, I found myself swaying. And I thought it was because I took my medication for cough and the drowsiness was just kicking in. I know, super -___-".



Then my dad and brother started exclaiming earthquake tremors! I must be really numbed by the medication because I was like, Oh, so it wasn't my medicine that caused it and then continued looking through my clothes to find something to wear for service later (which I didn't go in the end anyway because there was earthquake tremors in my head.)



Nothing fantastic but worth a lifetime experience. Now, I want to feel an earthquake but not the after effects:)

Trip back to Grandpa's! ♥ 9:22 PM

Day 1(27.09.2009)- Getting to Grandpa's

Start the day with the most important day of the meal:) Duck noodles


Produce from the garden:)


PETER my companion!


And looky look, we have a new member. I officially christened him Harry! This little bugger was so timid it took me a whole of 2 days to convince him I won't kill him for dinner.


Peter having a good nice shower. And he have to look sorry and pathetic. Those puppy eyes!


Day 2(28.09.2009)- Cleaning out the house.
Fried carrot cake for brekkie!


Ghetto mozzie net that helps keep those mozzies at bay!


The fruit and veggies garden





Old school makeup




大哥哥's piggy bank!


Rusty key


Another of the many beauty products!


My mom when she was around my age. How come I didn't get those doe like eyes??


Perfume. Apparently branded too!


We were meant to stay only for 1 night but it became 2. Not that I mind. It's always slow and relaxing at Grandpa's and the best thing is, I get to play with Peter and Harry!

Day 3 (29.09.2009)-Chilling

Mom trimming Harry's fur.


ONE BAG FULL! And that silly boy got some metal wiring stuck in his fur!!


Poor Harry exhausted after the whole saga!


Playing


More fruits!


My dad. He says he want to look like Alvin.


With Grandpa:)


How often do you see a typewriter???? Oh, and that's the Edward looking guy:)


Pasar Malam because I am craving Ramly's burger:)




Was sick and coughing away but you know what, Malaysian doctors are actually powermama:) They fixed my problem!


And that is my favourite past time at grandpa's place. Guess what is it? Hint: Something to do with flies and mozzies:)


It was a good short getaway from busy busy Singapore.
