wow.

that 'wow' was for myself. whahaaha. i wasn't as tired as i thought i would be, after having less than 10hours of sleep for the past 4 days combined. could still push myself to work out at california fitness today with kelvin sir and james. hehe. it was fun! i tried the boxercising class or something like that, before that did my run on the treadmill, and some other conditioning exercise. ultimate work out day. wahh, now im thinking of getting that lifetime membership. the atmosphere inside seem to psyche me up. hehe. plus, the classes are fun. they have pilates, yoga, some dance class like hip hop and latino jazz..and lots more others. hehe..anyway i still have 1mth before the free pass expires. hmm, they hav branches in the states, and some other asia countries, but they just dun have it in perth!! ugh! will see how, think im gonna be quite busy this Dec. YCYP youthcamp, Big Move and taekwondo chalet coming up...'Magic of Love' during the xmas period, and FCBC's xmas bash. all exciting stuffs!

and yesh...meeting up with all of you guys! wonder if i still wanna work part time now..seem a lil packed..and i do want some time to just rest and relax, do my readings for next semester AND just some leisure reading...

*yawn* gonna rest now..maybe watch some anime before i sleep. haha. anyway hair's still wet. tomorrow, going pulau ubin for trial run of camp games and stuffs. gonna be HOT i think.

greetings - from land near the equator.

so im back for approximately 6 hours now. still able to adapt to the humidity, not too bad. after i set foot into my house for like an hour, friends from liquids (cafe where i use to work part time) jio-ed me to a bar at Club street. apparently today is the bar's opening day...think the owner is my cafe boss's friend. anyway i didnt drink, stayed for awhile and they decided to go kbox. good idea too, cos i wasn't very keen on staying at that place for long. seem a lil dodgy to me. so the whole lot trooped down to paradiz centre. i wasnt quite in the mood for ktv either. haa. wanted to have a chat with one or two of the friends from liq, but both places were too noisy to do any catching up. and while i was at ktv, kelvin called me...and scolded me, cos i didnt call him after i touched down. sigh, im starting to feel the hectic pace here in Singapore already. didnt even get to rest properly. in less than 4hrs time, i have to wake up, go sin ming road to get my bike's insurance and road tax and all (my dad...RARHH!! i dunno how he lost them...create more problems for me). ugh. so if i don't do them tomorrow...i can't ride my bike (cos then it'll be illegal). RARHH!! then after...kelvin wants me to go california fitness with him. i obliged, wondering though if i have the energy to even do a proper workout. after all those which i'll proceed to FCBC, yeah...i miss FCBC!! looking forward to that. can't wait to see all my dearie sis... think i'll be tired, but i guess i'll feel recharged once i step into the doors of FCBC! hehe.

sobs. less than 4hrs of sleep. goodbye for now.

darling! when are we meeting!? i miss you guys! for now though..me get my beauty sleep first.

rarh!

extremely hot day. i'd rather summer than winter though. can look forward to my jogs in the evenings at least. jogging jogging jogging.. arGh, my knees are starting to ache again. i feel like a 22year old cooped in an ah ma's body. all those sports injuries, and aching joints when it gets too cold..ugh! anyway, i think its just the weather making me all grouchy. rarrrrrrrhhhh. im gonna get some ice-cream now.

changed the layout of my blog. got this from www.blogskins.com you guys can go check it out..this site has blogskins for lots of different themes. didnt bother to surf at that site for long though, i thought this was pretty nice, so just adopted it and made some very minor changes. =)

nothing much to blog about these few days. most of my friends have sat for at least 1 or 2 of their papers, and im still waiting for my one and only paper on the 24th. not complaining about how that one paper has to fall on the 2nd last day of the exam period; still thankful for all that has happened this semester and how well things turned out to be in the end. can't help reiterating the fact - how great is our God, who always makes a way out for us no matter what crisis we meet with. as i've experienced personally many times this year, His timing was and is impeccable; never early never late, always showing up at the right moment, wanting only the BEST for us. He reveals His presence, love, strength and specific guidance, creating a path through the most painful wilderness.

Thank You Lord.

"The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The Lord is near to all who call on him to all who call on him in truth. He fulfils the desires of those who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever." -Psalm 145: 17-21

many reasons to praise Him [and be thankful]

Dear God, I have so many reasons to praise you. In the face of trial and hardship I have your promises to re-awaken my hope. In the moment of victory I have you to thank for my abilities. In the boredom of the routine, I have great joys in your surprises. Thank you God for being so great and for Your grace. Thank You for loving me, just as i am. In Jesus name. Amen.

shopping!

YEAH!!!

alright, yet another terrible collaging. but thats not the point here!!

i've finally got myself a coffee maker!! yiipppeeee doooooo! and it came with a blender! good stuff! cost me AUD$240. not too bad i would think. then after i had to go shop for 'accessories'. lOl. got 2 latte cups and a frothing jug. haa! oooh then i saw this cute coffee mug set and i got one of those too. it was actually tagged at $20, but when i paid for it, the lady said it was some x'mas box set and was on some sort of sale..so in the end paid only $14 for the set of 4 mugs.

hmm. then i got myself a pair Aasics! yay! yet another reason to force myself to be consistent in my runs. haha.

tomorrow, i shall try my first homemade cup of cappucino. mmmmmmmmm!!!!
coffee anyone!? lolz.

yeah bobo, i can almost see you jumping around, doing a lil dance waiting for your mocha! haa. come come, bring along your hersheys choc syrup and i'll make you a nice cuppa. *grins*

-bliss-

gadget itch, again.

1) Coffee maker/Expresso machine

3) Heart rate monitor
4) Nokia 8800
5) External Hard disk drive

oooooh...I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT!!
lustful creature i am.

FUN FUN FUN with photoshop!

i can almost visualize bobo shaking her head at this awful job done. lol. i'll try harder another day! stay tuned for more photos....and, hopefully better collaging.

my first try at collage! me with mei'en (left), cheryl (right).

madness!

Hello there my faithful readers! lol. so its about time i introduce to you guys a few of the frequently mentioned names in my blog.

first up - ellie - featuring as the running witch in this video.
taken during our mini halloween party [read: JUNK FOOD and horror movies night].

"mmmmm.. numnumnumnum" (Woodford, 2005).

im still alive.

classes have officially ended, so the mugging bug has come a-hopping along. this semester seems to fly by quite fast. 3 more weeks to the end. now that the dates are drawing near, im not so sure if im really looking forward to going back Singapore. haa. yeah -sweats- maybe its just the break i need, but i don't know what to expect when i return to SG. oh boy.

havent been exactly busy, just a case of bochupness. went a few places, met a few people .. and for the most part its just studying in the library with deb and ellie. anyway it's all good.

wish i have more to say. but thats all for now. just a short note to say, "yeah im still alive." =)

New Feature!

Haven't been posting for a few days. I've been studying. =) Honest!!
well.....not 24/7. BUT at least exam preparations are well underway.

Alright, so what's this NEW FEATURE about. may i please direct your attention, once again to the sidebar on your right [in case some of you dunno your left/right. Right is this way -> ]. thank you very much.

lolz, ok ok, dun bash me up when u see me. anyway i've been trying to find out how to put background music on my blog for quite sometime now. i still can't get it to autoplay, best I could do is to place a player on the sidebar..for you guys to click and listen. anyway i thought this is a pretty cool idea, rather than have the music on suddenly when the page loads, kinda irritating at times [I'm sure you all agree with me, right!?]. anyway, i don't care..you'll have to agree with me..it's my blog. lolz.

I will try to get the song changed, once every week [hence the header 'Pick of the Week'], that is if I don't get too lazy. haha.

[out of curiosity though, i stilll wanna know how to get music autoplay when page loads. so if any of you know, drop me a message. haha. thank you thank you.]

gotta thank Chee Chiu for introducing this castpost to me. but hey...i figured out how this work, got it on my blog, aligned it properly and stuffs... all by myself. *smug look*

alright...its not all perfect, my meropet header got mis-aligned in the process. and i can't figure out how to align it properly. actually wanted to pretend I didnt see it or that it was just supposed to be that way, but our dear bobo simply has to point that out to me. rarhhh! anyway...looks good mis-aligned also. err...right? we'll leave that for now. -_-" THANKS BOBO!

anyway.....

enjoy the music.

attack of the killer pets

ugh! i've received news that janeyz pet has grown as big as hachiko! oh no...! attacks of the killer big-feet-meropets.

need. to feed kon more!

so today i've handed in my last assignment for this sem! *WHOOOOOOOOOOPEEE DOOO*
then i went garbo with my mum to shop a lil and finally satisfy my craving for boost juice. haha. nice.

up next, print out all my stat notes. start studying tomorrow. rough draft of my timetable from now till semester ends, study and make time to jog at least thrice a week. i feel like a big blob of fats now. not too goood. -_-" other than that, its just that i really miss my runs. makes me feel good about myself. i think its that feeling of pushing your body to the limits, and that kinda triggers something in my brain. more than often it brings a whole new perspective to 'disturbing' situations that im facing and my life. well they did say that exercising makes a person happier. =)

done.

done with my research proposal, don't know why though, don't seem especially happy or excited. somehow not satisfied with the quality of this assignment. or maybe im just too tired today. well alright, thats the last for this semester. up next - devise a study plan for exam preparation. although there's only 1 paper to take, gotta make sure i cover every single concept there is to grasp.

few issues weighing on my mind, some of which needs immediate attention. but i just...don't wanna think about it right now. instead my mind's wandering off to somewhere it shouldnt be. need to re-align my focus again.

anyhow, i think i should sleep.

-out-

yet another rambling moment

-sleeeeeepy-

but still.......just can't resist an entry before i sleeep, so Kon will growww. and grow he shall......haaa. [ok, so i lied! main reason's cos hair is still wet...grrrrr, i have this bad habit of having to wash my hair everytime i bathe no matter how late it is. irritating.]

just came back from deb's place. i seem to be hanging out at her place and library very often these few days. and i reckon wld be so till this semester ends. then i'll be back back back to haunt most of you guys in SG. yippeee dooo~! start counting down. muahahaha.

my research proposal still needs abit of editing, i think i'll be able to complete by tomorrow evening, have it nicely printed out and stuff.. ~whoala~ that will then be the end of rushy assignment period for this semester~! *grins*

today's dinner was fantabulous, together with Su and Ellie, we whipped up a few dishes. [warning: wear a bib before reading on lest you drool onto ur shirt] so we had...chicken herbal soup, sweet and sour pooork (i have been ellie-fied, help!), brinjal (yucks to purple vege, but apparently they love it), and a dish of GREENS (thank God). oh alright, maybe the list/dishes wasn't enough to make you drool, but still, it was n i c e. =)

ooh yeah huh, yesterday cz (campus zone) murdoch & kardy combined to celebrate a few October babies's birthday. took quite a number of photos. wld try and post a few up soon. gotta get them from my friend. sadly, my sony T1 has been super duper under-utilised this semester. either i was lazy or i'd porrrget[compirmmed, ellie-piication complete.] to bring it out.

well...what to say, stressful period, but still managed to squeeze in fun and laughter. God's really been good, and i mean really goooooooooood. after all the downs and more downs this semester, everything just smoothed out in the end and i've finally made peace with my warped up inner being, all by God's grace. Praise God.

ooh, i can't resist this, but Ellie is porrr you. i think me and deb's should help u cure your case of fruit-o-phobia. haa. first off, before we use the desensitization technique, you'll have to want that phobia cured yourself. so, before you sleep ebrynight..will yourself using this -

repeat after me -

fruits are food.
fruits are good.
i love fruits.

fruits are food.
fruits are good.
i love fruits.

hmmmmmmmmmm. yumz. X10

oooh im so gonna get bashed~~ haa, no right ellie? -peace-

alright enough from me porrr the day. its getting kinda disturbing reading my entries isnt it.

goodnight everyone.

-bliss-

Everybody, meet Kon!

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby introduce a newly added member of this site - Kon. hahaa. ok, in case most of you are still wondering who kon is; its a new blogpet that i've adopted (with the help of bobo *ops* i meant debbie). cos seriously, i know nuts about all those RSS feed thingy and certainly do not understand a word of Jap [from the signup process to the adding of friends and all those in between...its all in Jap!]. kinda sad cos i simply have no idea what the conversation is about. *dismayed look*

debbie i need a crash course in jap! haha. at least enough for me to understand what kon and hachiko's [deb's blogpet] crapping about.

ooh yea..anyway one might ask why i adopt a pet that speaks jap then..haa, cos apparently they don't have the english version for it, and im jus bored la [hey, im in perth ok], also, out of curiosity, im jus interested to see how big my pet can grow and what it'll turn out to be like.

so the more i blog, the bigger it'll grow. i have a feeling its gonna stay the same until my assignments are all over, or maybe not. haa.

well yeah, i'll try to figure it out myself when i have the time. next up, gonna try and add suli.

ooh yeah..i named my blogpet after Kon from Bleach! haa. just finished episode 52 at deb's place...so tomorrow after a hard day of work at the library[betting to complete my proposal], i can unwind with episode 53 [b4 i left deb's place jus now, was still in the process of downloading]. haa. hoooray to anime!

for now though, goodnight. =)

apt.

i think this new site name, fits me just fine. i really am dazed. to the extent that i am hurting myself - physically.

to start with, last night in the middle of sleep, i knocked my head against the wall. then this morning when i closed the bathroom door, i dunno how, but my toes went underneath the vent.
then after, i knocked my knee onto the wall and got bruised as a result. thennnn right about 5 minutes ago, i flipped my hands around to sort of stretch abit, the tip of my fingers hit my table lamp.

dazed, i am. blur. stressed. injury-prone day. [insert watever reason]

back to work it is.

Official Apology

SORRY peeps! haaha. anyway i got a few 'hum tums' from you guys already [first up was ah xin...lolz...small, cute....and fierce]. know that some of you linked me up to ur site. this IS gonna be the final change [i promise! well... at least for the near future] lOl.

oks doks, laters.

just a quick one

so what's this corny blog URL (for-the-benefit-of-ppl-in-sv.blogspot.com) about...one might wonder. well its dedicated specially to my dearest friends staying in Student Village, namely, SPSS Guru - Suli & Ellie - THE ONE to seek for all who wants their inner-pilipino unleashed.
well, cos the old blog url ended with 2 dash(jing--), and somehow school server forbidded viewing due to that, and obviously the corniness in me resurfaced after being in the company of these fine individuals, hence the present url.

yesh sireee, these guys are a crazy bunch. felt glooomy whole of today as i tried to do all my assignments. but things certainly turned for the better after i met up with ellie, suli and debbie in the compt lab to go over the SPSS exam questions. not only did i feel more confident of the lab test for this coming wed, totally enjoyed basking myself in the company of these people. u guys rawk! for a moment there, i wasn't fretting over deadlines and stuffs..

anyway for the rest of you guys, im sorry u'll have to bear with this url for a while. haa. i'll change it soon. maybe tomorrow. lol.

well now, its back to rushing my research proposal. =)

oh btw, SPSS = Statistical Package for Social Sciences
