♥ amber means slow down

today my lovely father made it a point

to inform me that when the big yellow sign with the two amber lights flicker...

it means you gotta slow down because it's going to go red soon.


like.. you know. because i just might not have ever known that... as i've only had my licence for five and a half months...

i wasn't even in the driver's seat - so it's not like i was trying to speed through them...

p.s. red p-plates off in 10 days... however i have lost my green p-plates =/ should really find them soonish.

--

edit: let me just say that this post was purely sarcastic. as in I DO KNOW what those yellow light signs means... because SOME people *cough* have been laughing at me thinking that I really didn't know -.-" sigh..

♥ hugsies, night drives & reminiscing

got a hug from louis today! thought i'd mention it in my blog, because they don't come by very often. i didn't even ask for it! he initiated the open arms invitation *NAWWS*


even got to actually hear him sing in the car too =O rarely get to do that too haha.

usually when i drive i just get around from A to B and i never really understood louis' appreciation for nice long drives at night. but today i got it. today i sorta understood where he was coming from. just sitting in the car with the window down and driving in the quiet night with all the pretty lights. it was nice.

on another note, didn't get much work done this morning at uni = BADBADBAD!
however did get a bit done staying back with louis. i should stay back more often, i prefer it... it's just that no way to get home. maybe i'll scab more lifts off louis as the semester progresses

had pretty interesting conversation with chris today. and it was about the past! and tbh, we've known each other for like ... what? 7 years now and there are still a few things that we don't know about each other. it was quite an enlightening conversation i thought. very interesting.

it also kinda reminded me how horrific my memory is.

so anyways i went to the very beginning of this blog and started reading about the TY dinner we had for our leaders.. and then i went on facebook and found photos from the dinner (they were horrific LOL)

and then i saw the album from leavers!!! like zmgsh!!! good times!


so anyways that's not too bad, we don't look very different hey! even though it was two years ago

now look at this one! it's a only a bit earlier than the above photo, i just thought chris looked funny in it LOL


omgsh please don't kill me chris! bahahahaa

♥ his 19th

i was meant to head out tonight to a high school friend's birthday party and a dinner with the girls

but i've opted to stay at home.

after getting home just before midnight (just in time for my driving curfew *grr red p plates*) and spending a couple of hours finishing a birthday letter / email... and another half an hour or so on the phone with the boyfriend himself.

i could barely wake up this morning for work at 8:45am.

so yesterday was my boyfriend's party. and you could say i was pretty worn out / tired / meh-ish. i didn't get hyped up about singstar, pictionary, poker... i didn't have the energy to.

i probably should have put in more effort to have fun but i guess you could say i was just drained and not in the mood for the hyperness and excited that surrounded me.

however, intercept uno saves the day. too bad i had to go home soon after we started playing.

so i sound like a pretty bad girlfriend right now don't i?

sorry bub =(

♥ VROOOOOOM

tsktsk. haven't blogged in nearly a week! how very bad of me.

so what have i been up to?
uhh =/.... *checks diary*

oh yes, thats right.

had my first assignment due monday. man i hope i got a hd for it, its only worth 10%, but yeah =( wasted more time on it than i should have.

i started tutoring again, for the year. same student as last year, and her little brother too. they've got some state testing thing coming up, so prepping them up for that...
saturday i had work, then victa's '90s bday at night xD. did the regional judging for yoty on sunday. such a super long day heyy... started at 9pm, got home at like 7:30pm. it was hot too... but a good experience i guesss

anyways. TODAY i drove a MANUAL CAR. and it was louis' AHAHAA. so many cars honked at me =[. i haven't driven manual in like 4 months OKAY -___- i forgot to change to 2nd gear...... which made the car jerk heaps... zzz

but w/e, louis car is like pretty hard to drive. looking forward to nig letting me drive his =D...

money wise, i'm really proud of myself for how much i've saved. however. if i step back and look at it.. i've actually spent quite a bit, even though i've saved more than half of what i earntt...

half way there to a car. however i believe that my trip to malaysia in june will eat into a chunk of my savings, unfortunately.

so i got this free phone from work. which im trying to sell for $200. then i want to use that money to buy myself another phone (one that i actually want) for $350. 

YES OKAY. so in actual fact i'm just spending an extra $150 then i have to. i've had josh, my mother AND louis tell me that it's pointless and silly. because my contract expires end of yr. but thats SO FAR AWAY.

andAND i want the new samsung jet in white NOW =[ and i should be able to treat myself!!!!!!!!!!! esp for working ALL of summer. GEEZ.

plus when my contract ends i'll prob get a more hardcore phone. can u believe it, i'm actually considering the iphone, even though i hate apple. or i really like the n97 mini xD... but who knows. by the end of the year a new range of phones will be out *sighhh* working at a phone store makes u even more phone crazyy!~

anyways, i'm becoming quite a fan of this gumtree website. thats where i advertised my f480. might also put up an ad for my ball dress / bridesmaid dress... and get rid of some of the stuff thats sitting around in my room haha.

ANYWAYS. off to work i go.

♥ march update :)

my apoligies for the lack of posts
finally finished my 25 hours. mum & dad still don't trust my driving (don't blame them) so they still won't let me drive alone... -___- still need to do the hazard perception test anyways. but still. it wont really feel like freedom after :(

MARCHHHHH = birthdays. and that means partiesssssss. so far it's been ry, peixins and cathys. oh and it was mums bday earlier this month ttoo! my sister's and my sister-in-law's birthday coming up too. 

the uni work is piling up. its only been two weeks and i already feel behind. much behind than i should be. i jsut seem to be running out of time to do anything now-a-days. must make more time, especially for umat prep... my last year to give it a short, otherwise it'll be gamsat...
 
the boyfriend has been pretty nice to me lately. as he should be! haha. i even bought him some new boardies (TRANSFORMER ONES mwuahaa he doesn't really like transformers, and i knew that when i bought it, but i like it... so therefore he should wear it right?) and a new watch. i am such a good girlfriend....................... loL! self praise is no praise.
 
i've made one new friend since the start of uni. he name is lucy, she's in both my stat and math classes... oh and i guess allan counts as a friend too, even though he's my mentee. and i've tried to make more okay? but i'm still feeling a little hurt from that fobby asian guy in my maths class, who i introduced myself to, and all he did was shook my hand, gave me a funny look and went back to playing with his phone. he didn't even tell me his name! even though i told him mine! geez. antisocial people :(
 
1-day website is eating up my money. haha. i blame timmieeee for introducing it. i keep buying stuff from it. my dads not happy i keep using his credit card too. whoops :)
 
so i've kinda got my eyes set on a red yaris for my first car. still in the process of saving for it though... not really close. esp as i might be dropping by malaysia mid year (byebye $_$)
 
i bought this new wallet purse thing for sportsgirl. i've been looking for something like that for a while now. i first saw a more rectagular hard case one in one of my psyc tutes last year.. and when i went looking around i found a few in dotti and portmans but idk.. they were all a bit too glittery or flowery for my liking. but im happy i stopped by sportsgirl on the way to the bus station, because i found a softer one in a black criss cross pattern thing. its really handy because its like a bag, but when you unclip it and open it, its got all your card compartments and a mirror and notes / coin place.. and it also fits my phone in there too =D and most likely my keys too. so its handy. i quite like it.
 
anyways its getting late and i've got to get up early to follow my mother. she is leaving half an hour early just so my sister makes it in time for her bus. i really don't understand why she can't just drive and park at the bus or train station... invading into my sleep time, GEEZ.
    farwell my lovers

    ♥ driving test

    i failed to change down gear while turning around a corner
    ( dude i thought i was already in second gear =[ )
    i had problems with the gears, and coasted in neutral, clashing gears
    ( argh! this was like fail. really. and i had only reached 100m out of the licensing center..... )
    i failed to give way at a roundabout 
    ( =[ i thought he was turning left......... )
    i failed to look at mirror while slowing down to turn into a carpark
    ( ... i always forget to check my mirror >__> )
    i failed to signal while going from one lane to two lane
    ( but i swear my instructor said i only had to signal for two lane turn one? or maybe it was two lanes and there was just no line on the road........ )
    i failed to check the railway crossing early enough
    ( by the time i looked left i was already on the tracks)
    i moved the car in the wrong gear
    ( gg, always forget to change to first gear after stopping )
    i didn't proceed with ample time while turning right and waiting for traffic
    ( well by then i was being SUPER cautious xD.... )

    and the result?

    i passed.

    amazing huh?
    xD...

    psychology
    hbio theory
    chemistry

    statistics

    FINISHED EXAMS!!!!

    WOOOOT!

    stats was so so... =/... it was like 30% theory which is my epic downfall. so not very happy about that. not sure if i can scrape a hd for it, but i hope so >.<

    soon i will be compiling a list of things i plan to accomplish over the next three months...

    but in the meantime it's time to RELAX.

    and fill out my vodafone contract (must stop spelling it as vodaphone) which i received in the mail today =D... (just in time too, i was going to call them tomorrow because i hadn't heard from them!)

    DRIVING TEST tomorrow... EEEEKKKK!

    P.S. Went to Retro Bettys in leedy today for dinner with my sister in 'celebration' of end of exams (for me... she still has one to go. actually she only has one exam altogether!) Her treat! =D


     
    and yes :) not bad at all! i quite liked it. i got a bistro burger with egg :) we also had wedges and salad for sides.




    Holidays, here i come :)!

    ♥ bigscarytruck

    ohmygosh.

    i nearly ran into a truck today!

    a big scary truck.
     
    and it wasn't my fault either!

    i was heading straight. and he was turning right.

    and HE SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ME. but no, instead he drives forward and i nearly hit him!!!
     
    but my instructor braked so much that we just missed him.

    and that was at the beginning of the lesson... and for the rest i was like *freaksoutt*

    ARGHH



    okay fine. maybe not THAT scary. but still.
    I SO COULD HAVE DIED TODAY =[ 
    and it so puts things little like my exams into perspective.

    ♥ over the edge

    instructor called, he said he has to charge me for one hours worth for yesterday.

    that just tipped me off the edge.

    called my boyfriend and just started crying on the phone to him.

    just feels like nothing is going right.

    my boyfriend said i'm stronger than this.

    but i don't think i am. not without God.

    i really need to just fall onto God and trust that He has a purpose for my life.


    exbf just called. after a fifteen minute phone call i'm feeling better. i wonder if he picked up that i was crying about half way through. coming to terms with the possibility that medicine isn't for me... is just. difficult. because i have always believed it's what i want and it's what was for me.

    anyways talking now to my christian friend. he's slightly older. haha. more experience with life. but doesn't know how to deal with emotional teenagers =P.

    okay i feel better now. so i shall stop this emo blog now

    ♥ beach

    my boyfriend took me to scarborough beach today. yes he actually drove. yay!

    it was nice :)


    we just went for a short walk, because we didn't have much time, but we sat down for a bit and kinda got lost in our own world of laughter before we realized the time.

    it was nice to just lie on the sand in the sunshine, even though we were both in jeans ahaha.

    i kept looking back at our footprints in the sand, side by side (except for those short moments we were pushing each other). i wish i had my camera to take a photo. just made me think about how far we've come. it's nearly eight months. in the distance i could see more of the shoreline that we had not gotten to... and it reminded me of how many more steps there is to take... how much more there is to come.

    must go back one day, properly dressed, and go for a swim :)

    ♥ t w o

    okayy i broked it. i talked to him.
    but its because i kinda realized he didn't really get the purpose of this break.
    and really, it's not just all about me.
    soo.. i figured it'd be such a waste of time if he didn't even get what it was for.
    so we clarified that, over a half an hour skype chat (in which i disappeared half way because my brother came over and asked me lots of questions about cameras)
    and i assumed rightly when i thought that he thinks this is pointless! sigh he didn't get it... but i assure u that it is not, well for me anyways.

    i also found out that the first time he talked to me was by mistake! he accidently pasted it into a convo with me instead of his friend.... hmm, for some reason that just made me feel worse.


    today i had half a mooncake. a green one s2.. i just googled it and found out that its actually "green tea moon cake".. ahh that makes me like it even more!

    i like the kind that hasn't got any nuts or yolk or anything. just normal paste stuff. yum!

    but mooncake is so expensive for such a small size xD. i was looking at the two that mum bought, and it was like $10.30... for TWO?! thats like.... the price of a proper / decent lunch....!

    but oh wells, it tastes so good. and the green one is so much better than a brown one. i dunno why, i just like the softer skin.

    i've got about 500 words to go on my psyc report... i'll probably try to finish it tonight, since i know i probably will just lie in bed til like 2am anyways. at about 1am, i sorta lie there and wonder if i should get up and do something constructive, but always cbb getting out of bed... x)

    tomorrow i have work in the arvo... and yeah will finalize this report and get back into chem. argh chem, why must you break my heart!

    oh yeah and went driving today and reversed parked in a carpark and it was pretty straight!!!!!!!! =D. i also stalled twice attempting to reverse into people's driveways though. sigh!

    ♥ *BREATHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

    i was in a pretty bad mood, about 3 hours ago.
    it's the nagging thing i think.
    my mother nags me.
    even my boyfriend nags me.
    and even my boyfriend's MOTHER nags me. well not always directly, but through him too.

    i mean, seriously.. and in all honesty... doing all those practice exams (which i WILL do, just haven't finished yet T__T) will not get me into medicine.

    yes its good practice, and yes it will help me prepare myself. and yes i will eventually get it all done. but really, the nagging doesn't help. i mean yes i might do it that night if u nag me today, but would i do it with the motivation and focus that i should. or would i just be doing it so you'd just leave me alone.

    anyways, i think no one trusts my sense of timing or organisation anymore. when they see i've only done 5 / 10 of the practice exams, they see lack of motivation, lack of hard work and lack of focus. rather than the other possibilities. such as PACING MYSELF =.="

    anyways, i stand by what i said, i don't believe doing these practice exams will be what get me into med. i think that sorta approach is by believing in just human effort. it takes more than mere human effort. its takes the supernatural.
    but, before u freak out. i will do those stupid exams okay.. SO PLEASE JUST STOP NAGGIN ME =.=
    gah!

    *wooshhaaa*

    anyways. on a lighter note. josh came over before. he cooked... omelet. with coffee milk (because we ran outta white milk) and diced bacon and cheese and egg. haha, in his own one he added olives and sun dried tomatoes and all this other yucky stuff i dont like.
    but yeah, mine surprisingly turned out pretty tasty! and yes i wasn't very happy he added coffee milk into mine (because i dont like coffee) but i could hardly taste it. thank goodness my boyfriend can somewhat cook.

    we watched fireproof. naww, its a good movie. except my boyfriend has watched it like twice already and he kept saying the lines before the actors said it -__-" which kinda got annoying after a while... especially because sometimes he was WRONG! haha.

    i think as we begin to approach 6 months into our relationship, we're beginning to reach that next level. not physically. but emotionally and spiritually. we've grown so much the past few months. we've had our ups and downs. our highs and lows. and relationships take work. we've both learnt so much, about ourselves, about each other, about relationships.

    yesterday i wondered if i was naive because i thought that we would last forever. like it's that simple. it isnt that simple. we don't know what things will be like. what may come in the way of our relationship. where God may lead us.

    essentially, God will always come first. despite how much i may love my boyfriend, family and friends... It is out of my love for God, that i am able to give to them, and love them unconditionally.

    yesterday louis was telling me about what this pastor said at a camp he went to.... how anyone who is christian, is technically eligible. within that bracket, there will some that you will get along with more so than others. but God lets you choose.

    I'm reminded of something Naomi said at lifegroup, that technically any christian marriage should work. At first i was like 'hmm', but i think i'm truely beginning to understand it. God's love is so supernatural. It's out of that love, that we can love others more than we ever thought possible.

    1.5 hours later..
    zmgsh i totally forgot i had driving lessons.. i stalled twice. at the lights. i kept looking at my back mirror because i was scared of breaking too quickly or something T____T arghghghgh.

    *wooshaaa*

    ♥ yayayayay

    exam progress: 4 / 4
    psyc: completed
    maths: completed

    anth: completed

    chem: completed


    chemistry, i needed a 66% to hit the d that i wanted, it was borderlining it since chem isn't exactly the easiest subject in the world... but it was possible, so i'm hoping i made it!

    WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. freedom feels good.

    even though it's not absolute freedom... there are several things i need to achieve these holidays. and i'll list them for you.

    1. complete the box of stuff (full of things to read) for my boyfriend to take with him on his longlong flight to america.

    2. get my proof of age card.

    3. find a driving instructor, and start driving lessons... and become a good driver =)

    4. work work work. i've got a whole load of hours at looksmart, because the fulltimer is going away...

    5. save save save... until i'm debt free, and even after that... i should really start having some savings in my bank account, rather than living paycheck to paycheck (sigh!)

    6. shop shop shop. yipeeeeeeeeeeeee i've been putting it off for so longgggggg. but don't worry, i'll only buy stuff on sale, and things that i need... e.g. cardigan. boots. oh except for my air maxes...... i dont need them....... but footlocker = 30%? <3>

    7. UMAT UMAT UMAT. umat prep! i took a break from it for exams, but its time to hit straight back into it now. because i'm going to teaRRRRRRr up those umat papers (just like i did for all my semester exams xD)

    8. finish the Dreaming With God Book - for the sake of my lovely cell group leaders who i feel very sorry for, because we always rock up without having read anything =/ and it screws up the whole lesson plan they had set.

    9. catch up with friendssss! i haven't caught up with quite a few of them for a whilee *cough my boyfriend steals all of my time xD cough* but i dont want to turn into that kinda friend... that loses contact with everyone =(... so time to organise some fun outings for everyone ^^

    10. figure out what units i'm going to drop / pick up for nxt sem... and sort out my uni timetablee (oh please God, no more 8am classes, prettyyy pleaseeeeee)

    11. make the most of it, yet also make sure i learn to relax, and have some alone time (i dont think i've spent a whole day at home bored + guilty free (aka not meant to be studying) in a longlong time...

    to finish, i would just like to say, that the person who designed the ikea store layout was very smart, in that he only put one entrance (front of store) and one exit (back of store) so that you have to walk through EVERYTHING just to get out... hence ur more likely to buy more stuff...

    but still.. ikea is awesomee...... <3

    oh and my flowers died =(... they were already dying, but because i had a morning exam this morning and left my house early, i forgot to leave them in the sun. i'm going to dry to dry the orange oness... but the orchids are like impossible to dry.

      1 Peter 5:6-7 (The Message)
      So be content with who you are,
      and don't put on airs.
      God's strong hand is on you;
      He'll promote you at the right time.
      Live carefree before God;
      He is most careful with you.
