of mortarboards and my graduation


hmm, there's so much to blog about i don't know where to start.
and since its almost impossible to catch up on everything i've been up to lately, i'll just give a few brief updates and of course, upload some photos from the most important that has happened to me recently and has been caught on camera - my graduation.

so, my parents were here for a brief two weeks and my sister, the week before in which time we've celebrated my sister's birthday, my parents being here, me getting a job, my bro's birthday and lynn's birthday at werribee zoo. and how can i not mention christmas?

its almost the end of 2009 and i can safely say, when i reflect upon this year and its ups and downs its been full of awesomeness and lady luck smiling down on me.
cosmic something, as weng khong told me last time i dont' remember what he said perse. lol.

so the year started out a bit rough but it ended fantastic - i graduated on time, got my PR in the speediest time imaginable and got a great job on my first interview. life has been so smooth sailling lately and there is really nothing i'd like to change about this year. the whole rough patch in the beginning made me realise that really, i can do anything on my own and that i have awesome friends who are always are there for me. life really isn't as i expected it to be when i made my new year resolutions last year but that's ok.. it was unimaginable but a better one than i hoped for.

so what does 2010 hold for me ? i'm not sure but its a new chapter of my life and i'm prepared to face it =)

anyway, enough with my nattering on about this and that and blah blah. onward to photos!

may the force be with awesome years and fantastic new chapters,
cheers~

according to you

just attended teri's prewedding cocktail night yesterday at blue diamond. so happy for her and robbie, and it was an awesome cocktail night. free flow of drinks and finger food (which included oysters and stuff, yum yum)

been busy working cookies, amma climbing up the cookie ladder, lol.

aside from that, my new favourite song by orianthi. super awesome, super catchy. lyrics listed below with a video (;

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
can't show up on time,
even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
you can't take me any place.
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
you're the boy who puts up with that.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

I need to feel appreciated,
like I'm not hated. oh-- no--.
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide.

According to me
you're stupid,
you're useless,
you can't do anything right.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.
According to you.

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.

her guitar's damn awesome too, apparently she played with santana and michael jackson and all before.. used to be their background guitarist, awesome right?

may the force be with tired cookie sellers,
cheers~

pt cook !

so i find myself once again at point cook. and me being a terrible person that i am, am leaving madison's mum to cook me lunch while i play wii, update blog and fix my cousin's computer.

which amazingly.. even though it took me just under half an hour to do so, I DID ! ,
woot, i am amazing ! and i really hv to stop eavesdropping on ppl's conversations. hahaaaaa.

base of the problem is that her computer couldn't connect to internet. but, bringing wilson's laptop to point cook and trying to connect his here works fine.. so.. i was taking a look at her com to see what i could do (she asked me to try, don't ask me why.. she knows i have absolutely no com skills whatsoever) but i did anyway. and.. i had this flashback thing. lol. of wilson's conversation which his friend, amma htink it was nic, and he was instructing her how to fix her internet problem.
tried it. it works. lol. let ur com's automatically detect IP addresses ppl !

anyway, yea, boring update. i forgot to bring my HD and all over to point cook and his laptop is devoid of any entertainment.

still it's a laptop so that means internet and that means i am not complaining. hmm. time to google some cake recipes to try with mad's mum.
whee.

oh and co called me from NY last night. apparently he DID buy me some souvenirs. from coach. wooootttt. am loves !

may the force be with eavesdropping,
cheers~

my.. darling high school friends hv been dangling this tantalizing piece of news in front of me ALL NIGHT long but they won't tell me what's going on !

head.going.to.explode.

WHY AM I THE LAST TO KNOW ! T_T

*tells myself i will patiently wait for amy to come home so she will tell me the whole thing herself. since... NO ONE will tell me what's going on without her sanction, sobs*

I MISS YOU GIRLS !
and.. i hate being out of the loop *grumpy*

teehee.
may the force be with my lovely girls back home,
xx.
