So hungry now.. haven had my dinner yet..but i wan to finish my work b4 i shut down my com... hav to hang on till 10?? or maybe earlier cos cant tahan already... hehe...

Suddenly wan to blog something more.. I heard Andy lau's song: 男人哭吧不是罪. And there's this line that say's
强的人也有权利去疲惫
微笑背后若只剩心碎
做人何必惊得那么狼狈

男人哭吧哭吧哭吧 不是罪
尝尝阔别已久眼泪的滋味
就算下雨也是一种美
不如好好把握这个机会
痛哭一回

觉得他说的很有道理。感同身受。 不要觉得看起来很坚强的人就不会累， 不会难过。 可能在他坚硬的外壳后是脆弱和疲惫的心灵。就是应为他一直再做很多事，看起来很厉害，别人就觉得他应该不会觉得难过或是痛苦。 我却觉得他们更应该有权利感到累，因为他们做了那么多，那么多，经过那么多考验。

不要因为别人怎么看你而让你的感觉有所束缚。应为他们只是一个普通人。

偕星看起来很开心，都是嘻嘻哈哈的面对观众。可是其实他们私底下却很静，或是没有在观众前那么开心。他们可能只是以笑容来掩盖他们的不安，尴尬，难过。笑就像一个面具，遮掩一切。感觉这一切都是一场戏，是如此的虚假，如此的风刺。

这就是人生吧。人生如戏，戏如人生。

Ahh... it's so diff to blog in chinese... type so slow, plus my han yu ping ying is oso not too good =( but i guess wat i wanna say is, jus be urself and dun let ppl dictate ur life. jus do wat u thing it's correct. It's normal to feel tired (pat on my back), but u hav to pick urself up again and strive forward again.. cos it's not enough jus walking when the rest r running.. u will be left behind.. maybe i shall blog another entry soon on how i felt abt "TIME". but hopefully i can find the time to do it.. =)

There was tennis on that day. Met my bro at 3pm to dou feng... We didnt go very far, onli drove to Discovery Centre.. hehe.. wat a weird place to go.. but we had fun =) I tried parking.. not too bad.. can park at one try though I stalled the car like dunno how many times.. cos the car park was sloping.. but that's not an excuse... then practise 5 times like tt, then we went to the Discovery Centre and see see.. then they had those make shift basketball courts. The oso have mini soccer goal.. this should be in conjunction with Youth Olyumpics 2010.. played both games for some time.. After which, my bro feels hungry.. we went back , to Sakae Sushi for early dinner.. my treat lah.. cos he lent me his car mah.. stuffed... we went to JP to walk walk.. he wanted to get some nice clothes for his fren's wedding lunch.. but in the end neber found anything.. then homed..

Worked hard like mad.. was rushing the whole wk even though it was post closing le..

Met bren and ZW for a drink at coffee bean on thurs.. we toked form 715pm to 10plus.. so much to tok meh??hehe.. then I cant sleep tt nite cos i drank coffee.. onli managed to sleep at 5am.. wah seh.. nearly wanted to murder myself.. I will nbr eber drink coffee..

concussed the next day.. then i slept at 9pm on fri... which is considered bery early for my std.. the farnie thing is my family thought i wasnt at home.. then my mum called my phone at 1plus am.. she heard my phone rang in my room and she came in. At the same time, I was walking towards my phone... she got a scare lah, since she thought i was still out... nvr expect me to be in my room. She oso gave me a scare cos she shouted: Ni xia si wo ah! She shld be the one who xia me loh.. shout so loudly.. hahha.. she said we were so noicy in the living room yet u can still sleep so soundly. plus my bro shouted my name quite loudly in the living room. But heard no response, so they deduced tt i was out.. it's quite scary though.. cos if someone jus hide in my room, nobody will noe can... see how tired i was..

12/4
Tuition till 3.. went to Chinatown with mum.. wanted to buy a bag.. but cant find something i really really wan le.. y ah?? I thought this black toscano bag is not bad. but then it's 399... like quite pricey for an ordinary bag.. i shall wait till GSS and see see.. shldnt rush to buy a bag.. Then ate claypot tian ji with porridge and mum had mixed porridge.. nice nice =) nvr had tian ji for a long long time already.. lovely.. then went to orchard to cont the search for bag.. went to taka and tangs.. but then the bags were abt the same, so didnt find anyone i really like.. i saw a dress that i like at tangs =) but then it's a little huge for me.. i would hav bought it if there's discount.. cos i feel that it's slighty costly.. then not fair one.. all clothes at tangs were on 20% discount except tt dress (9 to nine) and daniel yam. wat's the rationale?? Maybe LD can go with me the next time cos she has tangs card. =)
Then homed.. tired..

Went home for lunch and fell asleep on the sofa while watching TV, onli napped a few minutes and went out at 230pm for YEC meeting..

TT's all for this wk =)

Long week.... CUm last bit on Aussie

It's the month end close again... Had a long week.. Stress and numerous time lines during the day. Brought work home to prepare on the first so that I dun hav to rush on the second work day.. But then was not productive on the second day cos the IT cant seem to load the data. Sooo.. we can do our first run of our data.. So on the third work day, we rushed like mad.. Struggled to pass the adjustments, checked the figures.. Pass lotsa and losta of JVs.. Finally managed to finish all this at 7pm.. Then start to analyse the numbers... Managed to finish the analysis of my smaller PL.. then my nice snr went thru some stuff with me.. oso stayed late with me.. I tink i will struggled more next mth... cos with her around, i'm barely making it.. Stayed to 10plus in ofc to be at a comfortable stop... felt like in audit.. even though i will be smiling when i can leave at tt time if i were in audit.. So i shldn't be complaining... it's much better here.. even though we r talking abt timeline instead of deadline.. =( super stress during working hours.. Today, is the fourth work day.. Continue with my analysis, updating of the template and running of a system..

Since I have working so hard this week.. I really feel like writing a super duper long blog... write until i puke.. hahah..

So i shall complete our aussie trip in ONE entry....

Third day in Melbourne

It's our shopping day!! Mao went out with us again.. He brought us to Smith ST for those branded shops. Cant really remember wat other places he brought us.. hm.. how ah.. i really dun remember wat we did the whole day.. oh. wah. we went back to VIC market.. We went to buy noughats!!! I bought like 2 kgs of noughats. Plus 3 bars of nicer noughats.. Actually 1 kg is for my bro and the other is mine and family.. Then in the late afternoon, we went to st kildas beach.. That was our first time there even though we stayed sooo near to the beach..

It's pretty happening over there... There's para surfing (not sure if tt's the term for it). Ironically, the beach here is not as beautiful as those in Sydney, but we see more ppl in the sea here!

The waves here are not huge too..


*Beware of houseflies attack*

Went back to our hostel.. Take a peek at where we stayed for the past 2 days.

COOEE

COOOEEEEEEEEeee.. is how we call it... it's uber hype in there.. nice and cosy.. losta of bagpackers too.. though it's pretty noisy at the common area..

We stayed in our PRIVATE room most of the time. Sounds so unbackpacker.. But our room comes with a tv and toilet.. total necessities.. Plus the room can fit 5 ppl. Soo it's super spacious for 3 of us.. the best thing is.. it's still quite cheap =) think it cost 60 each for 4 nites.. great isnt it =)

OUR Room.. See the double decker at the far end of the room, plus the queen size bed which we r sitting on and a single bed which my camera is sitting on.. we have the TV and toilet on the left of the pic.. great is it?? Doesnt look like a dorm at all.. nicer than some hotels which I have been to..

~Side note:Y the pic (above) which i'm in looks dark?See who's a better photographer. kidding ~

Off we go for our dinner. We are going to utilise the voucher given to us during our trip yest..

The name of this dish is called Chicken Parma.. We wondered why this name... Clever me thought of the reason.. cos it's 鸡扒吗.. This dish is mainly a huge slab of chicken cutlet with generous servings of cheese and tomato sause.. pretty nice.. but the serving is too much for our liking. 3 of us shld share 2 servings...

The stalls around the area were closed by the time we finished eating.. like 7plus?? can believe it??

But it's good to have rest today.. Get ready for a long ride on the bus to Philip Island.. Big Feet is waiting for meee....

Philip Island

Toady is basically a animal introduction field trip. Went to a farm to look at animals that can onli be found in Aust, eg, Koala, Walabi, Kangaroo, Wombat.

ZOOOooooo

Cute Koala.. Super stone leh.. I suddenly thought that the animals in Aust r really quite unique. Like Koalas and Kangaroos, they can onli be found on Aussie land. Plus koalas can onli survive in aussie cos their onli diet (eucalyptus) can onli be found in aussie. More funni think is, these animals are harmless and more of defensive animals.. i guess it runs in the country.. =)

Scary Emus.. They are like perky animals. Speedy actions.. It looks as through it's going to bite my head..

Super duper cute can... Baby Walabi... It's holdin my hand for food.. loveLy

Impersonation of a Kangaroo..

Going to watch little penguins.... Cute littles ones...

There's very few photos of penguins cos we cant take photos of them in the nite- flashes will deteriorate their vision. think not onli them. If we were to expose to flashes every nite, we will oso go blind..

Can onli take with penguins in poster..

Last day in Melborne

Time really flies.. It's the last day in Australia.. Going for last minute shopping.. Walked and looked around at St Kilda's, cos we nvr really explore there.. We back to the factory outlets there.. cos we nvr had the chance to shop at the surf shops.. Went to crumpler but was closed.. =( but it's more ex than singapore.. siao one..

I bought 1 pink roxy bikini, the one i wore to sentosa.. remember?? one ripcurl board shorts, havanna slippers - or did i buy it 2 days before? cant remember.. tt's all?

rushed back.. but the bus screwed up.. they changed the route and we were strandard elsewhere.. so took a cab back.. bery late.. luckily the driver waited for us.. but we were hated by the rest of the ppl on the bus..

I will be alone on the flight back.. took SQ while girls took quantas..

Evaluation

The whole trip is damn fun.. without me having to emphasize as u can seen from my blog.. Aussie really live up to its name. colourful city.. used to luv their tourism ad... the song goes like this :"Red and yellow and pink and blue, purple and oranges, green. I can see the rainbow, see the rainbow, see the rainbow too.." it's soo symbolic..

Dun mind going there again.. but it's really ber bery ex.. so much save up for the next trip.. prob go tasmania for some adventure??

It's really a long long entry.. need to sleep already.. tired.. need to wake up early tml..
