{awaiting the empress and prince derek}

Alright, I'm not going to let fear and stress get the better of me. I know I'll make it through by grace. Here's wad's goin on....

2 weeks ago...

Went to south bank to watch Peixuan perform in some buddha festival. She was with the sunnybank wushu troupe, and they had wushu performance. It wasn't too bad. There were some pretty cool moves and cool guys (aka chicky)....hahahah.....Ate alot at the food fair too. firstly, Yvonne and me had some fragrant cinnamom cheerios, than we headed over to the Suncorp Piazza to watch xuan, and after the performances, we headed over too the food stalls. I had 2 Japanese pancakes, "ham chee peng" (it's hungarian pizza actually, but tastes more like ham chee peng), dippin dots ice cream. yummy! Sophia and Kelly and gang were there too. Nice.

On Saturday, celebrated 2 J5 birthdays in a row. The pizza, the fast-food, the cake, the sabo, (Peanut butter and bbq sauce. Cruel.) the punishment....haha, feels like high school again. Wendy and Jessie, hope you gals like the prezzies, haha, I spent 2 afternoons in the city just for this.

And on the following monday, it was a public holiday, so the gals camped over at my place for a night of facial and movies. It was so funny seeing each other in sleepwear and facial masks. Hahaha. Went for my very first evax on monday too. Spoke to an angmoh, a chinese girl and a Filippino guy. It was a good experience really. Haven had a good session of street evengelism since CPCF days.

Went to a J5 housewarming. Had wanted to bless my fellow bros and sis with my prize-winning Japanese curry. Only thing is, it turned out too watery, the meat was too tough, the vegetable taste bland. Terrible. It was even mistaken as kambing sup....(Thx bro, i'll remember this comment...-_-)

To top off all this excitement, the empress and derek are coming to visit me!! Hahaha, right now, today!! Im actually a knot of excitement and anticipation right now. Have no idea how our meet-up will be like. In anyway, Im just very thankful for this, it is indeed a message of reconciliation, of love, of humility. i've learnt so much through it all.

{CD40/CD40L}

Im supposed to have started on my research for CD40/CD40L (whatever they are) since yest. Right now, im still glued to my computer screen reading blogs.

Its a truly therapeutic thing, i feel, surfing blogs, checking out people's life (or no life for some). Just discovered boon fei's and vic's blog, haha...which also shows how WOLS i am. Have known them like for ages and never really went checking out their blog (or "checking them out" for the matter). Which also shows that very often, you can "know of" a person, yet never really "know" a person. kinda sad actually. Still....

Anyway, Im just very much missing home for the past week. Mom called and as usual nagged me to get aussie PR.

Mom: "Apply for PR lah, you will be eligible right? After your studies.."
Me: "Yea...Well..i know, my friends have all made plans to stay here.." (sian voice)
Mom: "Then you leh? You wanto stay?"
Me: "Actually, no. I wanto come back..."

Enuff said. It took me 6400km away from home to realise where home is.

Anyway, i had a fun weekend. Will update in my following post. Gotta check out CD40/CD40L now. *Sigh*If only they are cute aussie/japanese dudes instead of some cellular surface component.

Feels like a rut now.

Hair -unkempt, untrimmed
Clothes - Unwashed
Bedroom - A potent dust pit
Assignments - Undone
Meals - uncooked, improper

Its that time of the semester. Mid-semester exams, assignments, project deadlines seemingly sucking the life out of you.

I was in lab completing a section of my research project, and whoa, after i stepped out of that squeaky science building, i felt as if I have aged. Told this to my housemate, who cracked up laughing as she described her similar experience at a job interview. she had 1 hour of scrutiny and interview....imagine that. Its terrible, I'll never work for a company that is so "niao"....

********

Enuff of all these drudgery. Here is a compiled list of things that I would want right now:

1. Laze around on the velvety white sands at Gold Coast, surrounded by surfer dudes and hot chicks.

2. Eat dimsum in the corner coffeeshop in Johor Jaya, my hometown.

3. Eat the "opium noodles" at another corner coffeeshop in Johor Jaya.

4. Eat "you tiao" and soymilk.

5. Eat "la mian" and "xiao long bao" at Crystal Jade in Singapore

6. Watch Heroes on my house TV.

7. Go shopping for winter fashion

"Won't it be nice..."
