s h u m e i is a very nice girl.

this is to my little friend shumei
who braved through the chilly wind of crazy melb
and accompanied me to the clinic today
even though she s got a slit in the throat
from the very dangerous go-kart
which you shouldnt go to anymore
get well soon, to both of us.

all smiles*

RAH! RAH! RAH! i once again took a nap and just woke up. haha
now i know why patients in the hospital can sleep & sleep.
hmm.
and i had a dream just now so i m all smily now
sorry folks, no prize for guessing what it's all about.
just wanted to blog it down so i will remember
teehee.
on a completely different note, i am having a TUMMY-ACHE now!
hello world! i just woke up!

i think i broke my records - i was only awake for a gross 6 hours yest.
which means i slept for about.. 18hours! (can anyone beat that??)
it must be the panadols, making me all lethargic, BUT DOING NOTHING to my headaches and fever. the fever is still here!! :(
but i think the temp has gone down a bit.. still could feel myself radiating lots of heat though.
oh and i m at 38.7 degrees now.
hm. okay goodnight world, cos i just pop 2 more paracetamol pills
which means i will be asleep within an hr's time

p/s : sorry mr. liver.

steph : i wanted to ask yu out that night! but nvm. anyway i m sorry i haven been doing work. but i will mug like a muggertoad after i get better. right now i cant even fry veggie.

G R A M P I A N S

Grampians was fun!
i really like road trips, haha, esp when i m not the one driving. (see! not getting a driving license does have its advantages)
but anyway, it was good just sitting in the car for hours, dozing off once in a while and lookin at cows and sheeps go by, look out for the shapes of clouds, and once in a while spot an amusing sight or two.
'i see trees of green, and red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and for you,
and I think to myself,
what a wonderful world..
'

praise Lord for the company. the 9 of us + mel who is in our hearts (esp tohnern's) and of cos those evil ku-ku-ba-ra birds that laugh wickedly outside the house which sort of freaks me out.

and.. i had my first kangaroo sighting! although it was a dead kangaroo abandoned on the roadside. . hm.i took a picture with it, and i regret similing in that photo - make me look so sadistic n evil.
haha and i like all those 'mind-boogling' games. hurhur.
(bang bang bang who dieded? i know! the summit or peak? summit!)

the supposedly breath taking view was nothing magnificent except for this heart shaped lake that we spotted :) cool. other than that, the rest was just disappointing and depressing; apparently, a fire broke out and left all the trees burnt, black and bald. poor trees.

the weather was far from perfect for once the weather forecast is right - it was soo cold i couldnt feel my nose! but luckily there were electric blankets! (WAH I WANT ONE FOR WINTER TOO!) and.. i experienced my first hailstorm! ouch. it was really quite painful with little ice balls coming down and hitting you. but people just continue walking as though nothing is wrong. haha i was thinking to myself: if that had happened in singapore, it would be all over channel news asia within 5 mins, but it's melbourne.. so that s nothing much to gasp and ooh or aahh about.

oh well. in short, praise Lord. and willy wonka will never be the same again. neither will a piece of half-a-nut that is worth 4 cents.
;)

***

attempted to study in the lib today, but really, its only the first day of hols! so obviously, i failed terribly. only managed to type half a page of notes before i was up and jumpin and on the phone. haha. met up with bets for dinner. oh i love that girl. she s leaving melb soon and i will be so sad! :( thanks dearie for the cereals & wise advice!
tmr.. i will make another attempt. but looks like plans to go clubbing are on the way. qianer and damo maybe? yay! i think the last time i went was cocktail party! (gasp) i need to get some music pumpin' in my veins.

coffee dictionary

cafe - french for coffee
espresso - brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through grounded coffee; invented in italy; has a thicker consistency than drip coffee; aka caffeine shots

latte - italian for milk; refers to coffee prepared to the proportions of one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk, thus has a milder & milkier taste
mocha - one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but with a shot of yummy chocolate added
cappuccino - prepared with espresso and foamy steamed milk. note: a lot of foam
kopi - boiling water + substandard coffee powder in a dodgy food centre, probably in singapore

which appeals to you most?

today, i am marvelled at God's wonderful creation, once again.
and after all that talk,
I am pretty sure God's right beside me now.
:)

Monday, September 18

okay, i m freaked out by silent hill.
embarrassing, but true.
i need to stayover at someone's place.
never ever ever ever going to watch another horror movie again.
never never never never.

but on an interesting note, a call from a paranoid mom made my day.
according to her,
facial wash causes skin cancer
bangkok is unsafe to go to because of black magic and frequent bombing incidents, and
the city is unsafe terrorists may be plannin an attack in melb

which allows me to conclude that
this whole paranoid thing is hereditary.

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day
for a
crown.


one of my personal favourites :)
was taken away the first time i heard it eons ago - at sarah/jiaqi 's church i think :)
i rmb that this song was the first to come to mind when pastor charlie asked yvette&me for our fav hymns. but i cldnt rmb the title of the song then, so i said sth else. but yah, anyway..
be prepared for this during worship coming thurs!

who knows? - avril lavigne

I think there's something more, life's worth living for.
Who knows what could happen.
Do what you do, just keep on laughing.
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day.
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day.

fantabulous kitchen horrors

it's 135am and i just started work for today (yesterday)
was cooking japanese curry (yumyumyum) and guess what?

i burnt the pot! (o gosh. GGXX. )
being terrified of my oppressive housemate, i spent an hour scrubbing all the black goo-ey stuff off the pot!
arghhhhh!
now that the black goo is gone from the pot, it's stuck in my nails
ewwwww!

:(

barbara

1st sept is ...
barbara's birthday!
yay.

happy 18th birthday!

boogie to barb's barbecue!
theme: B is for barbs!

it's mambo time!

love this song to bits:
(oh how i miss mambo wednesdays)

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "olé" with it, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now!

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight)

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight (ooh!)


(Papa loves mambo)
Mambo papa
(Mama loves mambo)
Mambo mama
(Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba)
'cause papa--
Loves a mambo tonight

(ooh!)
the song is sooo sweet, and funny!
isnt seeing love last more beautiful than seeing love blossom?
