Just Blogging Around

By boredom. 

And. I. Kid. You. Not.

I finished exam on Monday. I went out with my girlfriends straight away. We gathered in a beautiful garden in a local cafe restaurant. We sat under the beautiful sky of Como. .  

 

 

 

 

We chatted, laughed. It was a fantastic arvo.

 

 

 

 

Part of us continued our eating adventure at Hyatt Hotel – Yes! You guess it right - the buffet dinner.

                                                                                                crime-SIN! 

 

 

Girls at the crime scene.

 

 

I well spent Tuesday with Kian and other boys, on the other hand. We had vegetarian lunch instead. I tried to catch up with as much people as I can. At that point, I think I do well.

So, this is how boredom nearly killed me:
I was left with ONE whole day on Wednesday by myself to chillax. I set the alarm clock, wanting myself to sleep in till 10a.m. Failed. I woke up at 730a.m instead and I managed to clean up the house just right lunch time.

By that time, I’ve re-watched few episodes of Top Gear. I laughed all over and over again. I read quarter of Clarkson’s. I cleaned the house kitchen, again. I kept myself busy by making FEW trips in and out just to throw 3 bags of rubbish. Seriously, I had no idea what else productive I can do. For pig’s sake, this is running me nut! 

I looked at my diary, I realised I have to work on the next day. 

 

Phew~! Thank Buddha! I’m so glad! I am working tomorrow.

p/s: it is just me, or what? i wundah.

 

It has been awhile since I did girly thing with the girls, and I must say, going out for dinner during weeknight is awesome. 

 

  

We discussed our future–where we end up will be? what we are going to do?

From here to another end–boy friend, future husband, and the number of kids! 

 

  

We gossip, we beeyoch–which guy in our class look gay-ish; 2 of us agreed our one of the lecture simply look the yummiest! Oh-so-hawt! 

 

 

We took some photos..we talked again. Fact, we never stopped talking.  

 

 

 

 

At one particular moment, I felt like crying. I shuffled the fettucine into my mouth and I stayed quite, allowing myself to pretend happy and in the mean time, I swallowed my tears back to the throat.

Time has gone so quickly, we all are so close to another turning point in our life. After this term, everything will change.

 

 

It is pretty scary upon thinking of the future, because future is unpredictable. You don’t know what’s coming up next. But for this moment, I just want to appreciate the time we spedining together.

 

 

Girls agree to do more before cathing-ups before the last few weeks of uni. And I am really looking forward. 

 

 

This night-out does inspire me (alot), or else I won’t even be sitting here write about it, right?

Hey girlfriends! Ya’ all rock!!

 

This post got me into thinking for abit.  

BOX 1: 18 or so

Ryan celebrated his 18th birthday last week. 18 is a legal number. Big deal hey. But it wasn’t for me. I have no idea what I did. I completed high school, gotten myself another kick-arse results. Dad and mum were proud of me. But I clearly remember my feeling; I was numb. It was soooo miserable for me at that time. I didn’t really know where I ended up going after that.

 

 

18 wasn’t legal in back home, I still managed to sneak into the pubs, night clubs with my college friends.  *notty*

 

 

It was another learning experience for me–transforming myself from nerd to geek(?)  

 

 

I was in Penang. I partied quite abit, except my parents weren’t there.  My dad never restrict me much, as long as I’m doing well, I am protecting myself, everything is fine.

 

  

 

 

I didn’t go thru much on my 18, if i studied abit harder, I probably won’t be sitting here doing drugs, I guess. But hey! no regrets. 

 

 

BOX 2: Twenty something.

Time flies.

I don’t mind telling people how old I am. The thing is, when you tell ppl the exact numbers, people have certain expectation from you. Especially ppl like me got baby face *cough* and it is not easy to tell my age. Once they find out, their eyes screen your head till the bottom of your toe. AH!!!! They think your age doesn’t match your face.. then the bitchness kicks in,  they will then expect you to get married by now, pregnant *touch wood*, or at least you have an unit or something.

Do all these matter? *celaka sial*

Hey! I am 20-something, so what? *yeah lahhhh! so WHAT?*

I’m going out with Kian for 6 years, I just about finish uni this yr, I’m not married yet, I haven’t buy myself a unit, no much penny in my saving account (AUD4.89 is numbers to be exact). But hey, I am happy. I’ve done quite abit. Maybe they aint outstanding achievement or anything. But everything I do, I do it well.

You see, you see..this is what I call ‘pressure’ from those stranger aunties. =.=|||

 

 

 Alas…self-denial number one here. OK, I admit. I do get worried abit. I am 20-something. I’m in love and I feel loved all the time. But still, I have nothing. Love is not bread rice,right? It wont “fuel” you up. *Chinese eats rice more than bread*

 

 

 

I don’t know where my optima optimistic  mentality had lead me to? The happy simple and contented life or the reality world that talk about money all the time? pffft

 

 

BOX 3: Nearly 30 or over.

I am not sure what’s happening down the road. I was asked by a friend, can you see yourself in 5 years time? Wau lau? You think what? I have magic eyes ah? See, another denial fact. I just don’t want to admit I’m  20-something, and I have to make important decision in my life– what to do? where to go?  Deep down, I am younger than 18. A hopeless 18. *sigh* yet happy *wink*

Hang on a sec.. general speaking, ppl in their 30s meant to be doing well in their career? what happen if they don’t? How do you actually judge your age to the society standard? Is that neccessary anyway?

The more I talk about this age thingy, the more I freak myself out.

“ONE POWER BALL FOR ME PLS!!”

BOX 4: the 40-ish.

The dude behind the mask is *ahem* 

 

 

It was a dress-up birthday party. As you can see..there is an alien walking around town. 

 

 

I never get any worrier for this 40 something thingy. My mum is in her 40s. She looks perfectly beautiful still for her age. Ppl think she is in her 30s. I am happy! I have her gene.  So, no worries myte.

 

 

Alas.. 18, 20 ish, 29, 30, 42 are all beautiful numbers. As long as you have done enough for the day, collecting the good karma, I guess we all will be fine, right?

Seriously? Seriously… Seriously!!?? Serisouly. (?)

Freaking chilly Friday night.

can’t be bothered to insert any more text after posting so much photos. fingers (and brain) are all froooozen up.

For Harry Potter fans, this is SOMETHING for you.

Cheers. Have a nice weekend.

Friends visiting town. Yay-ness!!!

Miza is my junior high classmate, working for Airline. We haven’t seen each other for yearssss. The reunion in Perth somewhat make everything so special.

 

 

I took Miza and her friends to The Fishy Affair, Northbridge. The original plan of mine was driving to Freo..But I was exhausted from work, plus Kian didn’t finish till late. I manage somehow to take them out to Northbridge for a taste of local seafood.

Seafood is a must in Western Australia.  

 

 

Lotsa memories from junior high. We catch up with everything, who is doing what, who is getting married, bla bla bla and of course the goss.

We all are from the same boat (school), we were very close back then…and to see everyone doing well at this stage, the feeling is simply faboulous!

 

 

Nick is Miza’s friend from the same crew. He has been travelling for abit, and he told me lotsa lotsa places around the world. Wah lau!! Their juicy juicy stories from around the world make me wanna fly too! My destinations are always Nepal, Tibet and India. I always wanted to follow the pathway where Siddhata had been thru. And I always love those oriental and authentic art.. Man! I wish I can fly, too!

 

 

After dinner, I took them around in Northbridge. I shamelessly show them our ‘China Town’. Yep, that’s it. Our so-called cheeeena town. *stick the tongue out*

The four Chinese character are read from right to left: liu4 he2 tong2 chun1.

 

 

More photos to come. Stay tunned for part 2. Cheers xoxox

p/s: nabeh!! I spent bloody two hours looking at AMH (Australia Medicine Handbook). Bloody TWO hours. Only one word came into my brain: AMOXYCILLIN. I’m wondering issit because the cold weather stopping my brain from working? Or laziness is allowed to  be associated with sickness? By the way, I am not that sick anymore.

Kian and I went to His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama Australia Tour at Busrwood Dome. It was awesome! It was an alternative weekly date of ours, and that’s for sure.

Hello Everybody, please meet the Lama *Amitabha*

Note: My words from this particular experience don’t represent Dalai Lama’s presentation. Each individual may interprete differently. Ru2 shi4 wo3 wen2, is the word, meaning this is what I heard from … .

I must say I am very very lucky to have the chance to attend the Dhamma (Buddhist’ teachings). For a Buddhist, I truely believe a good cause is due to good karma.  

The first Dhamma was held at 930am. We both reached there at 6am. You think we are insane? Ha! Ha! There were people from country area arrived at 4am! four freaking AM! It was freezing, but it was all worth it.

Dalai Lama is a very very wise man (obvisouly). He presented Dhamma with sense of humour; his carefree yet wisdom shows why he is widely accepted by the public especially in Western Countries.

In the first talk, Spirituality and Sustainability Forum, he said, how to preserve the nature? I don’t use bath tub for showering, I use shower, so I can save water. I switch off the light when I leave the room.

Everyone applaused and laughed out loud.

When Dalai Lama was questioned about how politician can take up a role in protecting environment (or something like that)..He looked stoned, and smiled to Jamie Durie (host), and answered: I don’t know. He laughed.

aH! So cute!  Again, his honestly won another applause from everyone. I realised this is the attitute lack in Chinese. When they don’t know, they pretend they know everything. They are either trying to pretend they are smart or they afraid their Chinese boss think they are too dumb.

The second Dhamma presentation was Ethic for New Millenium.  It was a booked out event. We didn’t actually manage to get hold on any tickets! Not until a lady overheard my conversation with a gentleman sitting next to me, she offered help. WAH LAU!!! We get to go BOTH talks!!! This a bloody good karma, can??? This means I am super nice larrr *ahem*

 

 

Photo by Kian 

I saw the tickets, and I started touching them, feeling them…hoping it was NOT a dream! I was so moved and I cried! Ya Wei jie…I think you are the only person can understand my feeling at that moment.  

 

 

I must speacial thank Hayagriva Buddhist Center who giving out the tickets for me. The lady was very kind, she said to me: Love, I try to get two seats together, so you can sit with your partner.

Honestly, I don’t expect her to get both of us sitting together, as long as there is one ticket for each of us, I am happy.

Thank you!

 

 

Dalai Lama began his presentation by asking: why major religion is built around God? Do human being need a religion?(something like that) 

He said, in fact we don’t need any religion, unless we are lost and then we need one to guide us thru.

Yep! This is absolutely Buddhism. Perfect, clear message.

It was enlightend, educational and entertaining.

Kian managed to record a small part of presentation on video, but youtube has been playing up with me. I tried toupload 3 times..non working. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the joyfulness of holy Dhamma as much as I do.

Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

 

 

 

 

 

We walked down to Mend St, South Perth, enjoying our weekly date. It was peaceful. We didn’t talk much. But the air is fully contented.

 

  

I always wanted to sleep in a bed of autumn leaves; imagine myself in heaven….a world of my own for an hour or so. [Hehehe…Watching too much Hollywood movie]. Or probably invite the loved ones with me… then we all can share a marvelous time together-gether. How wonderful?

 

 

Erm….

 

 

The world is so B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. absolutely.

Short Talk: Uncle Wuching is not longer at blogspot, he is at wuching.com now =) This uncle finally get his own domain.

This is one of my last weekdays of my holiday so far. I am currently into this ‘celebration’ mood, trying to catch up with friends whom I love to see. In case you are going to ask again, what happen to my bf, he is here =) Sometimes I feel bad for Kian as he has to work alot, whereas his gf is going wild with all the chillax activity out there when the sun is up. Hello! I have very limited time off, so I try to go crazzzzzy as much as I can Alas..I am very good one. Once the clock hit the time, I ‘guai guai’ stay at home, preparing dinner so I don’t feel bad for my craziness. Hahah!

 

 

Quite Tuesday. Off to Oyster Bar Foreshore. 

 

 

We ordered 2 dozen of natural oyster. I finished mine, and I steal half dozen from my bf. And don’t ask me about oyster ‘viagra’ish effect. *wink* I know you dirty minded (hum sup) uncles gonna ask me or Kian. =P

 

 

 

 

The salmon was yummie. But the portion was freaking small, can? Kian expected I would say the salmon tasted delicious as I was soooo hungry. The main course took forever to be served!! And everything seem delicious when I feel the emptiness in my tummy.

 

 

Kian’s lunch. 

 

 

Hand in hand..walking along the street.  so shy.

 

 

I feel like I just fall in love with this man few month ago. Everything is so new.

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!

 

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(./?/!!!)  :)
