WHOO been ages since i last lj-ed!
life has been a-okay. this sem at uni seems to be a lot better than the first sem, i hope this means i'm getting used to being away from family and friends and stuff. this weekend i went to teh countryside and fell in love with it. <333 and got to follow a vet around and see cows and stuff which was really cool and as letch kindly supplied, i had the MOMENT when i just knew that i wanted to do this. god i can't wait to become a vet.
all the uk and us ppl are leaving soon D: i wish i could send the us ppl off but gah too early. uk ppl hopefully when i come back in sept can send off. and congrats MEERA for getting into camb! whoo i'm so proud!
i've been trying REALLY HARD to become a better person, and making sure i appreciate everything around me, including nature and people and well LIFE in general. i feel like me being a vet really fits into this scheme of life.
and of course, the shamone comm has been such an amazing place to start. everyone's so lvoely and happy and loving, i bet MJ's really really proud of us all (:
TILL NEXT TIME DEARS. hope everyone's doing great! this post shall end with:
( MOAR MJ GOODNESS HERE ) |

today and the past few weeks have been lovely.
today: back to rjc (AGAIN) with rachel lina kristine vic. we didnt really do anything except roll around in an empty classroom and reminisce/bitch but HEY whats new. then went to j8 and chillaxed at the playground and bitched about the usual things. but it was so filled with love, what with us being amused by the human escalator vic and our race up the escalators at j8, it was so childish but v v fun. and algae eating bacteria and kristine being MAD HIGH. sigh. those were the days.. i was never good at letting go of the past so easily.
and sometime last week nerissa and me hit da clubzzzz. HAHAHAHAHAHA ask me for more details all i can say is tt its not what it seemed. also i did the most happening thing prob in my whole pathetic life cause we went to dempsey for dinner on sat night hw cool am i.
activity over the past weeks: met letch for a day of WHINING and DEPRESSION and FOOD which was great too! and visited priya's dog which is ADORABLE OMFG, met vic for a day of chillin', went sentosa with nerissa HAHA another adventure that was, met yanneng for breakfast and hit the library which was really fun too, college day, class lunch at marche.
i'm not trying to boast or whatever but i'm glad i have this bunch of friends. I AM NOT GONNA LET YALL GO.
watched hp with minsi and julian and i love rupert grint!!!
flying back in 4 days. i've met everyone i wanted to meet already so <3 yay thanks everyone for the loving. |

| MUCS concert '09 |
[May. 31st, 2009|10:16 am] |
concert's OVER!! can't believe it. the first half was much better than the second half strangely. fyi we sang Schicksalslied (song of destiny) by Brahms + Through the Fire by Gordon Kerry + Mozart's Requiem completed by Kerry. it was really very thrilling - the soloists were :O:O:O and the bass dude was really cute wahahah. the orchestra was also really pro ahhh especially the strings! i want to learn to play some instrument. the cathedral was also v gorgeous plus we had a sold out concert so that was super exciting too. can't believe i'm never gonna sing those songs again :( they really are v v nice. go and wiki/google the brahms one especially omg it's super nice. also the entire concert was dedicated to the bushfire victims hence the common theme of fate/destiny/resting eternally. wil post photos up later but for now, here are the lyrics to the brahm's piece + translation:
( Schicksalslied )
AHH! it was recorded apparently,and if we sounded good enough it goes on TV! =D so if i do manage to get hold of the DVD i'm going to force all the chorale people to sit and watch all 2 hours of it. haha.
i want to be a polyglot and learn german and italian and french and chinese!

just in case this hasn't been emphasized enough in my blog,
I LOVE MY FAMILY. for paying my bloody expensive fees here, for having the heart to send me overseas, just in general for this opportunity to study in another country. i dont know how i'd do it if i had to part with my children for extended periods of time (shit i'm gonna turn out JUST liek my mum) . but like i told julian, i'd make sure i can send my children overseas if that's what they want to do. to quote my dad, we shouldn't put a price on education. HAHA omg i was talking to my mum then she said dont worry still got the SWAMINATHAN scholarship lolz that's the best ever scholarship - no bond, full paying scholarship. ok i better be a damn good daughter and make sure they never regret sending me here.
and congrats to ner for passing driving~ WHEE my best friend is gonna drive me around in sg! like real, bet you'd be too lazy to drive me to the west hahahaha.
and to priya, ner, minsi, vic and julian who i was able to talk to at the precise moment when i found out i didnt get the AVA scholarship. i'm not gonna say im totally fine with it, i just feel bad for my dad. but at least i have NO BOND now, and i can do what i want to (which is to be a travelling vet/countryside vet/open my own clinic somewhere)
sometimes do you get the feeling that your heart's gonna burst from all da lurve you feel for people? that's exactly how i'm feeling now (: thank you all <3. |

1. autumn's lovely so far.. i promise myself that i'll take photos of my daily walk to school but erm i always forget to >< i love how fresh and crisp the air is! i feel like i can walk 10km in the mornings really. plus all the trees are shedding their leaves and ahhhh so red and orange and pretty!
2. this weekend was busyyy saturday i went on the great ocean drive with radhika, navene and priyag. was damn fun la, i loved looking at the waves crash against the rocks. and it was great that i went with a bunch of people. photos are with radhika/prig cause my camera batt died halfway -.- but OMG i fed some birds! achievement cause i mostly hate birds and saw some cuteee koala bears!
3. choir today was good. i can feel us getting better! hope concert goes awesomely. some things that andrew (the conductor) says really remind me of mr toh. but i really do admire him, because it takes a lot to make a non auditioned choir, with like half completely untrained members, sound good
4. i'm pissed with some people! i probably have already whined to most ppl online hehehe
5. nerissa was showing me her new pup on skype and it is super cute. and i realise i miss nerissa quite a bit.
6. had a nice night at aruna's where she made me hot milo (WITH CONDENSED MILK FTW) and baked fries! we also ate corn chips +salsa while watching CSI/talking nonsense. felt nice (:
OK BUAIZZZZ exactly one month to coming back! |

whew tired! 3 more days of shit week 8 before happiness! ok not really.. week 10 is another killer week cuz of spanish orals and bio assignment and physics test. but its okay!
okay anyway i'm feeling v happy now. cause i finally emailed suet, emailed meera, emailed kristine, and talked to yanneng and julian last night for like 45 mins! and nerissa who i talk to online everyday so it feels like nthg has changed haha. minsi also because we are always bored tgth. whee. it feels super good to know that my friends are still bothered about my life HAHA i thought it'd fade after like a month. but nah (:
anyway i totally dissected a rat today during bio. the first of many dissections in vet year and stuff. wah it was damn interesting lah. although i felt really bad at the end when all the rats were just tossed into the rubbish bins :// im sure there's a more um, ethical way of disposal.
cant wait for MONDAY |

since i'm such an emotionally needy person, finding good company here just makes everything lovely and happy. today marese, bidina and aruna came over and we did our physics assignment. i walk to school with my aussie friend lauren. i have company for lunch, and i'm not so much of a loner anymore! whoooo. though i still want more aussie friends lah if not no point coming here to study.
10 days to booking flight back =) omg time really flies.
hope like shiz that aruna and me get the super gorgeous apartment we applied for.. apparently there were 30 applicants x.x but it's really gorgeous. the whole building's like converted from an old fire station and it has a FUNCTIONAL old school-style fireplace. ahhhhhhh I WANT PLX :( btw i'm so glad i have wormz as a room mate cuz i'd prob die if i were alone.
i think i don't regret pursuing an overseas education =) but too soon to say la first yr is so easy cause its a level stuff all again. at least i can feel really smart cause i get 80 or 90 percent for alll bio and chem related stuff haha.
miss yall friendsssssss |

i now know that i have completely dependable friends because really i dont think that many people have friends who are an sms away even when i'm all the way in melbourne. yes nerissa i am talking about you hahaha.
i WILL stop being a grouchy biatch and omg i am getting so easily pissed lately. wha i win man. i can hide my feelings so goddam well to like ppl im not v close to but not to my close friends cuz they'd know if smthg was wrong.
and i REFUSE to be bothered by people who are being subtly bitchy because they are probably just sad confused souls without a life or any friends and i'd like to think i'm in a better position than them and besides you must be nice to people who are bitchy to you right? however that works haha. =) peace love and joy. ahhhh blogging is therapeutic.
anyways, yesterday i went to my dad's friend's place for the day. they were really hospitable and sweet people and took me out for lunch and dinner was back at their place. at this point i think its really important to have contacts!! so that like, if my children end up studying overseas or whatever at least i'll know people there and stuff ok thinking too much.... i think my dad must be a great man for so many of his friends to be so nice to me. yeah so anyway, i played with their kids - one's a 7 mth old and the other is like 4 yrs. hahaha i think i'm quite good with kids leh! surprisingly. omgomg i want to get married so badly! :(
and today i went to taco bill's with bidina and aruna. mmm mexican food is love. and afterwards boots-shopping at target and big w! i now own purple tights btw =D and nice boots that i wanted =D wah living on my own has really done wonders for my fashion sense I HOPE.
i love that in this entire easter break i have hardly done much work. slipping back into the post a levels blissful mood yayayayayay k bye sexies.
ok PICTURES SOOOOOON i promise!

FIRSTLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY NERISSA!!! HOPE U GET MY CARD SOON!!
LIFE IS SO TIRING i had 3hr chem prac today and still had no time to finish believe it or not. we were making panadol wtf. but like we all bonded (HAAHAHA PUNNY) cuz of the common enemy that is chemistry practicals.
this week has been alright. i dont know how but it seriously just flew by. ohwell one week closer to coming back to sg =)
the thing i hate most is being alone in between lessons at uni cuz its so HUGE and like damn unlikely that you have friends with same breaks as you. so i usually go home (abt 1.5k walk) or camp in the library cuz its free internet. I NOW KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF MY HAPPY WIRELESS INTERNET AT HOME OMG WHERE I COULD FREELY DOWNLOAD SHOWS WITHOUT WORRYING ABT MB AND KB AND SHIT LIKE THAT.
and as my msn nick says, i'm damn domesticated now ah. every hot guy should totally marry me. SHOPPING HERE IS AMAZING BTW! SUPER CHEAP AND NICE STUFF BUT I CANT BUY CUZ I AM POOR AND I NEED A JOBBBBBBBBBBBB i applied for mcdonalds cuz they pay 15 an hr which is OMGOMG. so if i work even like 10 hrs a week is enough to sustain my like groceries for a MONTH which is amazing!!!!!
i can't wait for next year to start so i can learn stuff actually related to vet science. now its just pre-vet year so its triple science plus elective (spanish for me WHICH IS SO FUN AND COOL BTW we played bingo and pictionary tt day!! and there's a hot guy in my class so hahahaha.) YEAH so anyway, life's a blur and v tiring. choir is awesomezz we're doing some super nice brahms piece with really pretty chords, and the people are super friendly and nice and i love singing so yay.
other than that - nthg much. OMG physics test next week im SO dead i dont understand anything :( I WISH I HAD A JULIAN in aussie to ask abt physics ahahahaha. OK TAKE CARE YALL.
oh and lastly i wanted to say im damn glad i still talk so much to my friends in sg. without them i'd srsly die and shrivel up in loneliness.
LUBX sry for the disjointed entry of life. OMG SPEAKING OF WHICH:
dedicated to 3O:
 adios amigos! |

i think i can safely say that i'm satisfied here. may not be happy happy, but i'm definitely not sad. the homesickness melted away with internet. woah technology is really amazing and i'm so damn thankful.
this week has been eventful. the first choir session was nice!! i like the conductor he's really funny. and i just felt so at home and like everythin clicked into place when we sang mozart's requiem. everyone was super friendly!! and like at some points it really felt like chorale. but then its a diff experience cuz we have like 200 ppl in the choir HAHA with instrumental accompaniment. but i must say i'm damn happy in choir so i guess i'm gna stick with it.
lessons are boring. this week was only lectures and slack tutorials so i guess its not proper school yet. chem and bio lects are ZZZ cuz its a level stuff just a bit more advanced. and all the friends i've made are like the superficial hi bye sit next to you during lectures kind of friends which is sad but at least its bearable and better than nothing right. i don't like coming home to my empty apartment though. so i try and come back as late as possible haha which isnt rly a prob cuz i end sch at like 5 most of the days?
if its one thing i learnt its probably just being independent and going everywhere and doing everything on my own. it feels good though at the end of it - at least i can proudly say that i managed on my own to set up stuff. i quite like that feeling. and hopefully i'll be alot more domesticated hahaha for now my cooking is rly noob and basic. but yea. i'm quite proud of myself =)
and there are times, just random ones, like when i'm with friends and walking somewhere - that i just feel.. happy. like i belong here, and actually satisfied. i hope this feeling intensifies as i find more permanent friends and stuff.
lastly, about the results. i'm just really still in disbelief, but i guess its really strengthened my belief in the divine haha. i can't wait to see what courses everyone does and who else will be coming to melbourne and stuff. good luck everyone for uniapps!!
<3
p.s i really miss my dog :( its like i can see my parents and talk to them so i dont miss them that much but my dog cant see me or anything its so sad. |

updates in my life. (which has actually been rather boring)
tues: campus tour and orientation where my orientation group was rather sad cuz the aussie ppls stuck to each other and yeah so i just hung out with marese (lifesaver omg thank god.) boring we just walked around the huge campus and omg i dno how im going to navigate probably gna get lost a million times. its quite funny to walk around campus and see random ppl walking with their faces buried in the maps though haha. um yea then i went home and was depressed HAHA
wed: academic orientation. even more boring it was just intro lectures for chem physics and bio. omg there's so much to do already like bio alr got prelab stuff BTW PRACS ARE 3 FRAEKING HOURS LONG OMGGG im gna die on tuesdays i have bio and physics prac back to back and i end at 8 o.o ummm yea i just hung out with marese all the time and didnt make any new friends sadly.
went home feeling UBER LONELY and depressed.
thurs: funner! clubs and societies open house. i signed up for choir (YES, AGAIN because i'm boring like that but mostl because i truly cant imagine life without singing) and Constantly Amazing Kitchen Endeavours which is a baking club! and i'm considering taekwondo ahahahhaa.yeah. choir orientation is tomorrow night! i'm quite excited. its a non auditioned choir which is awesome. yeaaaa. this sunday i'll be MOVING IN! exciting. and going for some intl students welcome. i'm quite proud of myself for like, washing my own clothes and finding my way around everywhere and stuff. yay.
in between i REALY MISS my family and friends though. but technology is awesome there's always skype and emails to look forward to. thanks for always being there everyone! and sorry i just word-vomited about my life. yeaa take care friends!! |

ok hi!!! i just realised i didnt update from melbourne at all cuz i've been too busy answering emails and then its quite silly to type the same thing over and over again so i'm just gonna blog about it. haha.
so far so good, i'd say. orientation starts next tuesday, and term starts on 2nd march. will be moving into my new apartment on my own on 1st march. wormy's joining me end of march so i'll have to be on my own till then. the apartment's lovely so i'll send pictures if you ask! so far i havent met any australian students haha i only know the singapore vets. i hope they dont make us to do stupid things for orientation -.- but luckily marese is in my group! haha and i've discovered 4 pri sch friends who are in melbourne/monash so i think we're meeting up either tmr or the week after that? haha. the relatives i've been with are super nice to me especially after my parents left for sg last night. oh and they have the cutest german shepherd puppy which is 4 months old heee i just helped to bathe it. haha the worst part was the car drive home after dropping my parents at the airport i was just crying like a freak. but its ok i'm fine now =) and hopefully will still be fine when i move into the huge 2 bedrm apartment all on my own. SKYPE AND EMAILS FTW.
um and i've chosen spanish as my elective subject! can't wait haha. and i shall be enthu and print my lecture notes or whatever before the first lecture and study reaaaaally hard and make everyone proud of me =)
weather's autumn-y with wind but a lot of sun. there's a lot of veggie food so i dont have to exist on salads haha thank god. i miss everyone especially yanneng who i havent talked to yet :( and the army boiz who arent online amazingly even on sunday. yea. PLS KEEP IN TOUCH WIMME LOVE YALL MISS YALL <33333 |

i just had a lovely surprise farewell party =) it was nothing short of amazing to see all my friends together in one place and omg i am so touched. thank you ner meera and minsi for organising everything it was really great.
special thanks to nerissa for being host and completely tricking me into believing that i was going to ur hse simply to collect spinach pie and go hm HAHA. i still cant believe i was so dumb to not get the hints tt ppl were giving subtly abt not being free on sunday and minsi asking for ner's number and ner asking for meera's number and JULIAN totally telling me about the party and then lying tt he was talking abt ashley's -.- HAHA omg im an idiot? and i still didnt realise anything was wrong when i saw jiande strolling into mandarin gardens when i was in the cab. but it was such a pleasant surprise to see meera jac and minsi appear from the closet!!! and everyone streaming in one by one haha.
i'm so lucky to have all of you as friends. THANK YOU ALL for making the farewell party a success and for the gifts and mostly for just being there, however short =) and to letch and priya for treating me to a delish dinner. oh god i'm going to miss everyone, im quite surprised i didnt cry. guess i'm stronger than i thought or maybe i'll only realise when i go there. hope i'll keep in touch with everyone omg. LOVE.
two more days! |

went back to rj yesterday with meera. it was really lovely. i wish we'd gone with more people cause it would have been more fun to reminisce and bitch and whatever. we managed COINCIDENTALLY to meet with ALL the teachers. mrkoh, kung and kwok, drwong <33333, mr chan. ok except miss kaur, but going to meet her on thursday. i felt so loved and happy after talking to them and i hope 5 yrs later or whenever we can still talk. i still think dr wong is a lovely angel btw. HAHA i rmb how our class used to ADORE HER and come out of all chem lessons feeling completely enlightened.
FRIENDS OF 3O LIFE I MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH TOO. like i told meera, the thing i miss most about rj is seeing it populated with all my friends in one place. like breaks where our happy class would sit tgth and eat tgth and wait for lifts and camwhore. now i have to go out with people individually which is fun too, but its different with a whole bunch of people you love la. i hope we're still meeting on the 14th before i leave plspls.
basically the past few weeks have been great. i've met with the people who matter to me, and more importantly i know that i matter to them as well. thank you all LUBX. |

barely one week. i'm dead worried and am finding it really hard to imagine that this is the last time possibly seeing my friends for the next like.. year. and my family and my house. i really pray that i'm going to be fine and dandy there, though i'm expecting lots of crying at the airport plus when my parents leave me.
its a really daunting thought, staying with people i dont even know and haven't even seen and attending classes in a totally different country, but hey i chose it and i shouldn't be complaining. i feel like crying sometimes thinking that i can't casually sms someone when i'm bored or anything. :(
really hope everything works out. |
