The Love and The ‘Dislike’ of Uni

I can’t say HATE, because I don’t hate uni. But sometimes, when I have too much work, and I don’t manage to cope with exam, lectures, assignment…I escape from reality by skipping classes. This happend to you before too, right? *wink*

 

  

(shuddup you! ;)  for those who do long-distance uni, that doesnt count, ok? Ekeke)

Most of the time, Monday is blue. So blue till I have a pen sitting right infront of me, I don’t even know how to pick it up and WRITE!  

Yeah, I don’t buy pen. We pharmers got ALL the pens sponsored. :)

 

 

Lengthy lectures can be a pain in the arse. It hurts the backbone too.  I can’t sit continuously for 4 hours so I squated. I push the chair aside,  leaving my head on the table, both arms hanging in the air toward the graffiti.

and you are bloody going to ignore my flared up pimples on my face *sob*

 

 

The fun part begins at 12pm! Uni common break time! 

“Cynthia, you are not taking photo here!”

“Mullet, YES I am! Smile for me pls, will ya?”

“NO!!” (tahan saje budak ini..tahan. :) )

 

 

“YES, YOU WILL! SMILE~!!!” (alas, senyum jugak budak ni..pura pura je lah)

 

 

So sweeeeet. I mean the smile larrr!

Aw man! When I’m in the uni, I feel like dying to go home. When I am at home, and I start thining of commencing full-time clinical placement (without pay) on next week, I feel like going for the lectures. What the heck?

By the way, I am still deciding to go to the ball.. Go or not go? Tell me. I want to buy a pair of CheongSam (chinese traditional dress) to the ball if I am going. Bah! duno hey. Sleep first and think tmr.

Nighty night :)

Char Char Bull, Fremantle

I went to Freo last night (Sunday night) for dinner and meeting up with some friends. OK, to break my tradition way of blogging, some food photos to start of with for this post.

The photo looks OK, not particularly fancy. I ordered garlic prawn steak bag or whatever it was; I kindly asked for medium which is defined as grey with little juice. Turn out, it was hell blooooody!! I was hell hungry as I went for a one good hour swimming session, and I haven’t meet these friends for awhile. Plus, I did my 13th blood donation last week, I need more iron naturally. So clearly my ‘chinese‘ instinct told me to act like a Holy Buddha…give ‘em face. And yeah! Smile, eat,      ST*toot*U  and suck the *toot toot* blood. :)

 

  

Kian’s dinner: Salmon filet with whatever. I tasted abit, I reckon Kian can cook better than this!!

 

 

The person whom I met up with was Elaine. Yay! Remember her? We meet last yr when she was in town, spending some GQT. [click here for previous post] 

Elaine still looking gorgeous. No, scratch that. She looks preeettttier! *love* Comparing last yr photo, my face obviously grow horizontally.. Is that because of my short hair? Or it is because of my big smile which sorta expand my facial portion? Erm…

 

  

We meet up with other friends as well that we haven’t spoken to for ages. It was absolutely fantastic!!! For once in my uni time, I couldn’t be bothered much with my assignment that due in 12 hours time.

I have significantly lack of motivation getting my uni work done recently. Last min study, last min work, last min…all last min thingy. So not cynthia.  A close friend of mine told me, because I’ve grown up, I know what I need to priotise in my life. And clearly, study is not EVERYTHING in my life anymore. So hey!!! I am not a NERD anymore?? Is that what my friend think of me? :)

p/s: if seeking knowledge is not my top priority in my life, what it will be? Bah! That’s gonna be another arguement in my mind that can go as far as Great Wall of China. Stop thinking. Full stop.

It has been awhile since I took group photos. I am not a very very big fan of group photo. I often look like weirdy. But that’s another story. I love seeing other ppl happy face. It is sooooo nice! Their smile make me a happy girl! Happiness is contagious, indeed.

Few friends brought their cameras along too. So everyone wanted some photos. I personally think it is great to take photo from different angel like this:

 

 

*insert some sense of humour*

This one…2 ppl waiting for me for the Kodak moment, the rest focused on another camera. *sweet*

 

 

Now everyone focus on me! Yay! How cool is that? :)  *does this kodak moment happen to you before too?*

 

 

The happiness and love was sooo affectious. 

1st couple (both on left) getting married next year! OMG! I feel like crying! 9 years relationship man! My Kian and I is like nothing. Nothing! OK? 

 

 

Another happy coupld who are getting married too. aw! That’s sweet.

 

 

And this couple.. I just felt like we’ve been going for only few months. 

 

 

For the quite first time, I am more opened up myself discussing mariage with friends. I used to  dislike it, but now, I’m OK. Especially when you are surrounded by friends who are joining welcome-to-soon-to-be-marred couple club, it is, in fact a great thing! Lotsa tips, advices, long term family planing… all priceless talks!!

It was raining heavily. The wind was strong.

 

 

Everyone kinda decided to stay abit longer–for both dessert and fantastic time. Staying indoor for abit longer to avoid the bad weather? Brilliant!! Spending more precious time with all these quality people? Marvelous!!! Brownies for dessert?? Bad idea! But I like. :)

 

 

I worked so so hard at swimming session.. and I ate so hard too. Shame. But I guess is a big OK, ‘cos I don’t do this outting much over my holiday.  

 

 

The last perfect group photo of everyone. 

 

 

Perfect timing, perfect smile, perfect moment. And yeah, perfect photo ;)

Cheers!

 

Kavyen “Kav” Temperley from Eskimo Joe

I have selected more photos from Eskimo Joe Concert.  They are all about Kav, who is the vocal/bass of the band. I’m not bias ;) I think they all are fab! It just happend to be the vocal standing in the middle of the stage..and light, the focus…all go to him, naturally. 

I must emphasize again and again..the concert was fantastic.[!!!] I still keep the adrenaline with me. Man! They rock!! I’m sorry the video clips didn’t turn out very well; for those who want to briefly listen to their songs, go to their website at http://eskimojoe.net/ Down all the way on the left, click the ‘PLAY’ button, and you shall enjoy ;)

 

 

I’ve got five photos here. All with different color (light) background, 3 different guitars, 5 different facial expressions which being captured well, I think. And yeah, 5 songs being played…obviously. AND! AND! AND!! ALL from one humble Canon A80, my old camera. :)  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soooooo, tell me! You like these photopgraphys of mine(./?/!!!)  :)

Part One of Eskimo Joe Concert: click here, babe.

Eskimo Joe Concert, Perth

Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you, all mine
A lot of people, underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
“  Oh O! straight down! Oh O! :)

Kian and I went to Eskimo Joe concert on Thursday night. It was our 6yr (+2months) anni ;)

I bought the tickets looooong time ago. It was a bit stressful few days before the concert because results were about to be released thesedays. John the crazy druggist said: hey! you will either be celebrating or you will be drinking your depression all the way down to your bowel (or something like that). =.=||| Thank Buddha! It wasn’t the later reason. Much to my relief, Malibu and pineapple juice, Jaiger Bomb..and even beer were all tasted sweeter than usual. *smile*

 

 

The concert started with couple of songs…not by Eskimo Joe thou. It was abit slow. But it was OK. You just knew the concert will get better and better. We aint paying fifity bucks each for nothing :)

 

 

Little Birdy was there too!! Holy Moly! Her performance was awesome mann!! It was really kick-ass! I took quite a few numbers of photo..this is my favourite one.

p/s: I took heaps of photos from that night. I know some of you probably have no idea who they are, but that’s OK. At least, I still have heaps of photos  for YOU!!! *yep! that’s just so cynthia*

 

 

Few photos of the guitarist from Eskimo Joe. He is awesome man. He plays so so so well, but I won’t hump him :P 

 

 

Few things happend during the concert. I meet a gal, she seem very nice. She lost her friend somewhere, so I ended up together…chatting (screaming) over the loud music, dancing, and giggling. She also gave ‘evil look’ to other gals (bitches are more likely to describe these type of ppl) who wanna take over my ‘feng shui’ spot.

 

 

During the break, there was this guy trying to chat up wth me. ’Hello..[smile like a d*ckhead] do you know that you can’t take photos in the concert?’ Me: JOKING??? I acted I am not interested in the conversation.  He kept trying to chat up with me. I was acting cool ;) Turn out, he took his camera out from his pocket and non-stop taking photos!!!

See!!! What a cheap pick-up line! I am so used to it, ok?

These ppl clearly didn’t notice my Kian was standing with me allllllll night long, didnt they? pffft

 

 

 

Another nice photo *ahem* 

 

 

And here you go!!!! KAV!!!!!!!!! The vocal/bass! He is so damn good! This Fremantle boy is hell awesome and fantastic! 

 

 

From Sarah… This is Pressure…and my favorite Black Fingernails Red Wine!!!! 

 

 

I screamed my lung out…I danced like nobody business..I was completely in my/their world.

It was complete relief from those stress and anxiety attacks from the past few days; and it was complete enjoyable moment.  

 

 

The atmosphere was so ‘YEAH’.

I nearly cried for hell know what reasons. I was glad ‘it’ was over..I was excited the party was just getting started.. and the songs, music were getting hotter and hotter!!!

p/s: I did took 2 small video clips: Sarah and Black Fingernails Red Wine.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend! *mwah*

Boys Day Out In Mandurah

Hello Mandurah! Hello blue blue sky! 

Hello boys~!! :)  

 

 

Mah mates and I decided to go down to Rockingham and Mandurah on Tuesday. Partly for school business, and partly visiting Micheal all the way down in South. Mandurah is located approximately 1 hour drive from Perth. 

AJ drove drove his little Mazda

 

 

Dean sitting next to AJ and obviously I was sitting at the back, and I didn’t quite enjoy it as a back paseenger for some reasons. It is weird. I always have been driving or sitting next to the driver..and all the sudden sitting at the back..is like losing the sense of controlling. Bah! if you know what I mean. :)

 

 

Micheal, my buddy from uni. He was the tourguide for our day trip in Mandurah too =) 

 

 

First stop at Dolphin Quay–a beautiful, neat small town.

The weather was OK for one minute but not for another. It was all beautiful when the sun was out. It could be damn b*tchy as well when the breeze came thru. *shivering* Silly me. Who did ask me to dress up in a tiny shift and short pants like back in Summer? *hide my silly red face*

 

 

The sculpture reminded me of The Sculpture By the Sea.  

 

 

(Part of the town. The whole area is surrounded by river..the view is very very breathtaking) 

 

 

At lunch time, we all headed down to this place for lunch. Guess what I had for lunch? When I hang out with the local aussie boys, do the local aussie things…we had … *drum rolling!!!*

 

 

Taaaaa DaaaaaH!!!!!!!!   FISH AND CHIPS   !!!!! Yay! The local food!! Yum!! 

I swore to Buddha it is one of the largest fish and chips pack I’ve ever  seen. Except AJ, we all didn’t get to finish the whole pack. ;P I haven’t been eating such a greasy lunch for awhile, for me, it is absolutely S.A.T.I.S.F.Y.I.N.G. :)

 

 

Another peep of the Dolphin Quay. 

 

 

 

Most of the time the boys had to stop for awhile and wait for me to catch up. This is NOT because I have very very short legs compared to them, it IS simply because I had been taking photos here and there, ok?? :P I enjoy acting like a tourist.  

 

 

Dean (blue)-eyeing at my camera. Look! We both have Oakley! ;)  

 

 

 

Mandurah is a nice, peaceful town. It is a perfect spot for chillax purpose. But I must admit I wasn’t concentrating at acting tourist. I tried to supress my mind from thinking of uni result. I don’t ask for high high score. I just want a PASS. If I get 51%, that 1% is a BIG bonus..meanning I’ve put too much effort in my exam. :) I am sincere when I say this. I am not like other nerds; before results released, they say they worried if they are going to fail. But when result out, they pass it, they say: ah! I could have done better! or..they probably say this: WHAT? only 69?? Gimme one extra mark, it will be 70% (seven-tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!) sound familiar in your nerdy envo? betcha ;P

See!! this is so fucking gay, can???  NO!! NO!! NO!! I can’t say these ppl are gay. They are not qualified to become gay. If they are gay, they are definitely a humiliation for gay population!!!! :) I love my gay friends one, ok? *hugs*

Outside Mandurah Performing Arts Center: 

 

 

See if you can tell the story from these (3) photos:

1. 

 

 

 2.

 

 

3. 

 

 

Interesting hey? ;)

The next stop was at: (Simmo’s Ice Cream)

 

 

I deeply regreted it for having this Award-Winning mango flavor ice-cream. It is not because of the taste or price. It is absolutely delicious. But the after effect is killing me!! I was freeeeezing cold!!!! G8! Who ask me to get itchy hand at the 1st place anyway? *stop complaining, cynthia foo*

 

 

Check it out what AJ’ve got. Look like a poo, eh? ;) *cheecky* It is award winning liquorish flavor ice-cream. 

 

 

It may not look the best…but AJ’s smile tells it all! :)  

 

 

But yeah..I still don’t have the gut to try that flavor. I foreseen my brain will keep sending the msg to tastebud that I am eating poo… how lame. =P I know I shouldn’t pre-judge…not everything, every suburbs, every cars are bogen, right? ;) *inside joke*

 

 

Another view from Mandurah.  How cool is that?

There were few moments I was totally out of the conversation when the boys were talking about games. I know nothing about games. I only play Mario and Luigi on Nintendo DSL. But it is all good. The breeze, the view, the beauty of the town, and the companionship were enough to fill me up for all day. It is awesome. :)

 

Happy (Broke) Sunday

So broke… I left zero dollar in my saving at this moment. SIGH! Not even a penny. I have to steal my bf’s money for another before I get my pay. :) So broke…yet so HAPPY!! I had an awesome Sunday day/night out with my kiddo friends…it was soooo cute!

Life is a b*tch… just when you happily spend all your favorite moment with people you love…and you realise you don’t have much left in your pocket..this is when the pain kicks in!! b*tch! ;)  

We watched Spidey already. It is OK, not even fabulous or anything. My mind was keep on thinking about Pirate of Caribbean. Johnny Depp and Orldando Bloom..yummie! If you get to choose a lover,a bf, or maybe a s*xmate, *ahem* who will you choose? The bad boy or the goddie one? And yes!! The Obourne Ultimatum!! Matt Damon!! Nice~! ;)

We all…as in Me, Kian, Alicia, Ryan and Robin headed down to China Town for supper. Pretty sure the restaurant is called Uncle Billy ;) I wasn’t into taking food photos mood..since Robin was doing it, might as well eh?

 

 

It is not easy to keep up with the kiddos. Seriously. I feel like lacking some sort of adrenaline. 

I meet Alicia years ago..and she was very very tiny back then. After few years..holy moly!! She is a half-grown adult! She is (nearly) taller than me! Everything seem to be soooo different. Man! She is not longer a kid, she is an adult! Just like a girlfriend. :)  

 

 

Ryan was the same…he was in high school last year,and now he is in uni. Time flies… 

I meet up with Ryan in uni last week, I realised those female friends whom he calls out loud are either cute or hot…in all sort of colors and size: blonde, brunnet, A, B, cups etc etc. ;) So, I insist Ryan will call my name out loud next time when he sees me from far, too ;) Bloody hell…kids nowadays ah!! =)

 

 

Both brother and sister (Ryan and Alicia) are super peppy. They asked ALOT of questions. They running here and there. It is not easy to cope with them. They think like an adult 

This is Robin who joined us too. I told him I was bringing two kiddy friends… I didn’t think he know how I define ‘kiddy’ ;)

 

 

Ryan and Alicia asked me ALOT of questions. They asked me and Kian, when we are getting married? Where I am working? Where is Bicton? What? Who? When? How? bla bla bla. I swear to Buddha, it IS not easy to answer everything. When one question is answered, more explanations are needed most of the time. And it is so cute! ;)  

But one thing! One thing! Ryan asked me: Hey! is “cynthiafoo.com” really exist? or you just leave it in MSN for fun???

 

 

RRRRRRRRRRyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! *scream my lungs out!!!* 

WHAT???????? You asking me silly question or what? cynthiafoo dot com of course exit larrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

Me starting giving this kiddo a lecture…wah lau! so…ppl think eh, simply simply use your name and add a ‘dot com’ at the back is cool. =.=||| 

 

 

I needed a cold drink to chill myself over the question. Haha! Just a joke. I decided to go down to Utopia for bubble tea as I haven’t been doing things with Alicia and Ryan. But in the same times, I tried to make sure they reached home before Xpm..or before their parents call ;)

 

 

Alicia is a gorgeous gal with beautiful heart.

 

 

It was a fun night out… and in few weeks time, hopefully we will meet up for another movie session…and droooool all over Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. Hehehe 

 

 

Last photo taken my Robin

How’s your weekend by the way? I have more things coming up this week…I just can’t wait!! Woohoo!! Blackfinger nails, Red wine…I wanna make it! ALL mine!!!

Happy Pizza

Me and Kian made our very very first pizza the other night. And it was fun!! :P I couldn’t stop giggling all the while… I was very excited looking at those beautiful colors of the ingredients;  I was too, overwhelmed with the fact that we were actually did this together for the first time since we are together.

I wanted to make a perfect smiley. Bagga! I didn’t shake well the brand new bottle of bb sauce..and I believe there are some air trapped in the bottle..turn out, my smiley aint too good. :(

 

 

 

 

We made 2 pizzas. The first one is loaded with chicken meat and vege.  

 

 

 

 

sun-dried tomato! 

 

 

OLIVE!!!! :P   so now..you know what’s my favourite ingredient in the pizza, eh?  

 

 

Can you imagine…if you were an ant..a tiny little creature that walks around the jungle  like this: =)

niceeeeeeee

 

 

wah lau yeh!!!  how cheesy is that?

 

 

I didn’t use mozarella ’cause I haven’t got any. I just used up whatever left in the fridge. It didn’t have the cheeeeesy physical appearance, but it tasted cheesily yummie! ;P

 

 

oh well, what do you expect? it is not just a pizza, it is LOVE. :)

Hahahaha!

Now! This IS cheeeeesssy! ;P

WAPSA O Show

“HO HO HO!! Merry Christmas!!”        Nah! That’s dumb.

I am overly sexited ‘cos I am having holiday!! Woohoo! That’s like ~14 day!! TWO bloody weeks!! Hang on a sec, minus few days from working extra shifts, meeting with work-related people, paying bills at whetever department (yeah, no onine payment)…I probably left 10 days for holiday.

I was excited, but now now anymore. I am over it. Honestly.

 

 

I am given holiday, and for one moment I have no idea what to do in my life. I lost my directions when I am not working, studying. I feel so miserable when there is a moment I have to take a quick break from my busy lifestyle. How strange is that? Tell me, does this happend to you before? Are you a workaholic???? AM I?? *scratch head*

I have so much to do…but I don’t know where to begin. *tears* There are only 3 and a half things in my life at this moment: work, uni, home(include boyfriend). and friends. Hopefully.

I rather go back to work. Wake up early in the morning, ride in my scooter, work…work…work.

 

 

There is one moment, I actually feel SHY when I talk to new friends. For all the sudden, I don’t know how to say Hello, Sorry, Thank You and Excuse Me. I lost my mind. Hey! I am not usually like this. My parents definitely won’t let me out without my polite social manners.

Oh! I don’t mean I am shy with these ppl in the photos…they are my mates from my class. :)  

 

 

But yeah, it is my holiday. I need to do SOMETHING. Something to keep me busy. ;)  I should do something to indulge myself, right? Such as…housework!!! Yes! :) I want to re-organise my pantry, I want to prune my roses so they all are ready for Winter. Yeah, I wanna update my blog more often too! *fingers crossed*

Hey..I can’t really seperate myself from busy lifestyle, can I? But I am happy and feeling contented thou. Do you usually feel the same way as well? Or it is just me? Tell me I am normal.  

 

 

Anyhoo…those photos were taken months ago. I was chillaxing with my friends from my School. I had great time..too much to drink, and I didn’t even know how I got home that night. Nah! That’s just a joke. I am usually very seinsible. *ahem* :P

 

 

Oooops!

I did it again. ;P

 

 

Hey! Guess what? I found out this infringement kept in one of my book, and I mean to pay for it looooong time ago when I was having my holiday back home. How long? That’s like..erm.. FEBRUARY!!

I paid my last infringement over here around Christmas last year. But the one in Taiping huh… Do you think I should bother about it? :)

I was driving my parent’s car. Erm, yeah. Maybe I should tell my mummy tomorrow when I call home to wish her Happy Mother’s Day. :) I have to be honest with my parents; and you see, the car is registered under their name, I can’t be so selfish, right? *wink*

Rightio~!!! Call home tomorrow and reveal the truth!! *right timing*

 

 

Erm.. after all it is only RM20.00. Seriously, shall I be bothered? But I still think it is going to be a ideal ‘topic’ to initiate our conversation with my mummy tomorrow..see how she react :) My mum is funny, and she has very high level of sense of humour. I just can’t wait to hear from her. Haha! I am such a hopeless daughter.

On earth.. This is going to be one of my mother’s day gifts. ;) So… tell me!! what have you got for you mum?? :)

 

 

Photo By Kian

Kian took a photo of me…looking rather miserable. I don’t know how he does that black, white and pink thing with my camera. Hey! No photoshop eh ;) How cool is that?

 

 

I had another haircut last Friday. This is as short as it is. I hope this will be the last trip to get rid all the dried and severely damaged hair. And… I am ready for long hair. I don’t mind short hair, really. It is so easy to manage. They dry up verrrry quickly. Not much combing required. Er..not really. I didn’t comb much when I had long hair anyway. :) But yeah, long hair is much needed on Winter!! My head is freezing cold!! Gosh!!

Good thing is… I already have ALL my scarfs lined up, and I am ready to wrap myself up for the cold weather~!! Woohoo! :)
