♥ sister-ness

lol.

my sister thinks she can get her way in anything.

she thinks she can argue her way with vodafone to get a new iphone for free

because she's "been having problems with it since she got it"

uber lol.

really, i don't care what happens to her, i just wish she's stop going on and on about... because seriously, no one in my household actually cares.

♥ admission & reflection

The Admission

Well, my sister got admitted to the court today.

Yes, she is not just a law graduate, but actually a 'real' lawyer.

It was a really hectic day. Oh and the night before she literally went through my mum and grandmother's wardrobe dictating what they could and could not wear...

I was meant to work in the afternoon but I ended up calling and taking it off because it was just way too rushed.

The Reflection

At night, we had lifegroup, last one for the year! And it was really awesome.

We all reflected on the past year and shared with each other. And we opened up these question sheets we had filled in at the beginning of the year. At first I was quite hesitant to read mind, because from what I had remembered writing, I had failed to pull through on...

self-reflection snapshot from feb 2010

But in the end it was actually pretty cool. I read through mine and some things were still the same.. others had changed. It was really cool. Because it got me thinking about a lot of things.

On that question sheet, I wrote about how lost I felt, how confused and how hurt I was about the whole medicine thing. But I think over the past year I've started to catch glimpses of that bigger picture. Being able to look back and see a blessing in disguise.

I'll post my testimoney another day. And more reflection stuff as the new year comes into play.

In the meantime, I think I have a letter to write.

♥ unhappy

unhappy.

about 3 things in particular.

#1. how annoying my sister is.. like seriously, she does not shut up. note to self: the more you help her, the more she's going to bug you - so moral of story: don't help her.

#2. how the new manager has cut my hours down to 5/week.. like WTH? totally disliking this new manager more and more... i want my old manager back :(

#3. i put this as my fb status last night "sometimes you wonder how your best friend can change so much... right before your very eyes... to the point where.. even you don't know what to do anymore" and i've gotten such depressing comments on it! like geez =/ not giving up on him that easily..

--
edit: a couple of hours later...

let me just emphasise point number #1 again.

Monday 12:25pm
Email - her to me

"My iphone arrived today!! BUT nick also emailed me and i just realised that vodaphone charges 90c per minute plus 35c flagfall :( are they going to change this soon? 3 only charges 35c per 30 seconds..."

Monday 1:15pm
She makes a phone call to me asking me if i read her email and complaining about call rates again.
The phone line cuts out and I write her back an email at

Monday 1:23pm
Email - me to her
" YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS

CAN'T THIS WAIT UNTIL I GET HOME

THAT YOU HAVE TO CALL ME WHILE I'M AT UNI -.-"

GO TO THE STUPID WEBSITE, http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=Three%2FPage%2FThreeLayout&cid=1244798246897

THE RATES FOR BOTH 3 AND VODAFONE ARE NOW THE SAME 90CENT PER MINUTE + 35CENT FLAGFALL

ONLY YOUR OLD PLAN WAS 35CENTS PER 30 SECONDS - BUT IF YOU STAYED ON THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN A NEW PHONE

YOU SHOULD DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON PHONE PLANS IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THAT PICKY AND ANNOYING ABOUT IT. "

kudos to josh for making it colourful in my email.

Monday 8pm
her: *walks into my bedroom* it doesn't tell you how long to charge it for
me: overnight.
her: does that mean 12 hours or 15 hours? [ <-- seriously how stupid is that question?! because yeahhh totallllllllyyyyyyyyy night time can really be 15 hours -.- ]
me: -_____-" it doesn't matter
her: ohhhhhh okay. are you going to uni tomorrow?
me: no
her: oh cool. wanna play with it tomorrow?
me: NO I WANT TO STUDYYYYYY, CAN YOU PLEASEEEEEE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
her: oh yeahhh your things on wednesday

=_____________=" like seriously?! can you get any more annoying?

♥ dt + green tea ice cream = a happy dt

green tea icecream

YUM!

i blame the girls for getting me into it..

but i found out the japanese restaurant in broadway sells it for $2.50 and it was really creamy hey.

and then the next day i went looking at kongs also in broadway, and they sell an italian version, which was really nice also for $2.50

and i remember last time i went with a few of the girls to that asian restaurant on the corner and got some there to.

eventually, i would have tried all the green tea available in broadway! that shall be my mission for the rest of the semester. should be pretttyyy easy :)

so anyways today i had my first maths test, and i really did a lot of practice questions in preparation, so i felt good with the amount of work i did. alas i did not study the theory aspect however.....

so i made that part up, but writing something is better than nothing (as long as what i wrote doesn't make me sound stupid =/...) so hopefully i still end up with a decent mark..

now i must admit, i am getting slightly stressed with my workload. and i feel sorta stupid about it, because at this point of my life, i am actually not doing that much (outside uni and work) in comparison to my high school days. so these stress levels are not what i would expect. i think it has to do with motivation, rather than just a time issue.

so it's mid semester break next week... and despite being a nice holiday for most, unfortunately that is not the case with myself =[...

it will consist of a lot of easter related events / church services, two lifegroups, two birthdays, quite a few days of work, yoty state finals, and of course studying for all my tests and doing all my assignments.

two tests (psyc & stats) and one assignment (stats) due the first week back, another assignment (psyc lab report) due the week after... not the mention more assignments and tests to finish the month of may.

SIGH.

oh and did i mention? my parents have departed on their little adventure... leaving me with my sister. and you might all be thinking that this is great and tthat i love it, but really when my parents are gone, my sister is just as (if not more) protective than my parents... GREAT!

and she always leaves me to do all the watering of dads plants, and feeding the dog and all that....... -.-"

anyways, i should stop procrastinating and complaining and do something useful.

sigh, could really do with some green tea icecream right about now...

♥ graduation

today my sister is graduating...

IN THE UNI GYM!!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA.

thanks to the damage done to winthrop hall by the hail storm yest.

i shouldn't be laughing. thats mean. but for some reason i do find it funny...

she is like fully freaking out about everything. what everyone is wearing (down to my dad's tie) and screaming about making sure we have the graduation tickets (even though they were definately in mums handbag - she probably just didn't look properly)

sigh, going to be a longgggg night.

♥ 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

♥ the hunt for a black collared shirt

so on saturday vodafone messaged me (yes TEXT MESSAGED ME - i thought it was quite unprofessional, but josh seems to think otherwise) and asked me to start monday!

i asked her what i should wear and she replied saying black collared shirt, black skirt/pants, black shoes etc. and she specifically said NO STRIPES.

*chokes and dies*

a majority of my 'businessy' gear is striped, because i love pinstripe! but i did find a plain black skirt i bought quite a while ago... but all my collared shirts are white... so yes so made the decision to go shopping today (sunday) to hunt for a black shirt at harbor town!

dragged my boyfriend along. well not really dragged. but he came =) and was grumpy at first abt parking but cheered up after a while.

really weird, my body was still aching from a 1/2 hr walk i went on, on sat... T__T which is quite sad, and reflects how unfit i am!

anyways found one in the end, and might i add, how DIFFICULT it is to find a PLAIN black collared shirt.. i even dropped by the city and still went for a look around and didn't see anything. they were all white or white with stripes or black with stripes... but no plain black =[

while dropping by myer i also picked up a shoulder bag. not like a school bag, more of a casual sorta sling thing. which is good because handbags are starting to get to me a little.

oh and mum gave me some stuff she bought in melb. it's quite funny how she went all the way to melb, but she bought me stuff from tempt. ahaha. oh wells. it's not like she ever walked into there while here in perth.

anyways thats it for now. my body aches.

P.S. my sister bought that emotional intelligence book they were talking about in psychology!!! i will have to read it after she does =D i heard its a really good book. and she said that her lecturer mentioned it too.

♥ my sunday

disclaimer / warning: super longggg blog entry.

i kinda hoped after two days i would stop crying about it, but when i bumped into pastor at church and he asked me if i was going back to tbc ministry and also where i've been lately, and i told him how i was in ballarat and came back sick... and then i told him i didn't get into med and yes.

grace joined in after. and gave me a hug. which was good, because pastors aren't for hugging. because that's just... awkward.

Pastor told me that if i honor the things of God, that He will honor me. that's been stuck in my mind all day.
he also told me that in the future i will look back and see how things worked out and stuff

i don't know. i guess i'm a bit confused.

grace said it was okay to be angry with God. but i'm not angry (well, yet) i'm more disappointed and confused.

you see, my boyfriend, his mother, my exbf, all sorta asked if i was going to change my goals/course. josh said something like seeking what God wants in my life, if it's something other than med. but I've always believed that IS what He wants. and what I want too! And why i'm going the long way about it, I do not know why. But there's a reason i guess, i just don't know what it is.

people like my parents, my sister, jfu... were different. they already know how much i want it. and talked abt next year, or postgrad etc. they didn't question whether i was giving up because they didn't believe i would.

don't get me wrong, i still need to seek God about my future. like pastor told me, i need to rest in Him. i need to listen.

i'm continously reminded of this section in Dreaming With God (yes mic, i did read some of it!) where ... hmm, its prob best if i directly quote.

The Blank Check
As kids, many of us dreamed about being granted one wish. Solomon got the "one wish." When God appeared to Solomon and gave him that opportunity, it forever raised the bar of our expectations in prayer. The disciples were given the same "wish," only better. Instead of one blank check, they were given an unlimited supply of blank checks. And this gift was specifically granted in the context of their friendship with God.
Surrounding their promotion to friendship, Jesus gave His disciples this amazing list of promises. Each promise was a blank check they were to live by and use throughout their lives for the expansion of the Kingdom. They are as follows:
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you (John 15 vs 7)
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15 vs 16)
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it (John 14 vs 14)
And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16 vs 23-24)
For us to properly receive what Jesus has offered us in these verses, any robotic understanding of what it means to be a follower of God has to change. God never intended that the believer be a puppet on a string. God actually makes Himself vulnerable to the desires of His people. In fact, it can be said, "if it matters to you, it matters to Him"
While much of the Church is waiting for the next word from God, He is waiting to hear the dream of His people. He longs for us to take our role, not because He needs us, but beause He loves us.

i've always been the kinda girl who has her whole life planned out. Married at 25. First kid at 28. And hopefully another two after that, in 3 year intervals (haha, i know, i'm a freak). At the way things are looking, i won't even be graduated when i'm 25. i remember telling my lifegroup once, how it was so difficult for me, when i first found out that i didn't get into med the first time. how things weren't going the way i had planned. how much of a struggle it was to adjust and get use to the fact that things don't always go how u hoped / planned.

thats why when pastor was talking about how you can seek God for the answers for everything, except when ur asked how many kids they want, you can straight out tell you. it made me laugh, and reminds me so much of myself.

Oh yeah, i held lil zeke today! 2nd time EVER because everyone always steals him =[ and he didn't cry! ZMGSH first time he hasn't when i've held him =P. too bad i had to go cauz nat was taking me back =[ but arghhhhhh!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡ BABIESSS

On other news, i went to my bf's hse for lunch. and sigh, idk, i'm feeling more and more uncomfortable around his family. like sometimes his mum doesn't think i understand what she's saying when she speaks chinese =[ but i do get bits of it, or at least the gist of it.

so like she kept asking me try to chilli and i kept saying that i was fine. she knows i can't take chilli. and she was like 'it's not hot blahblah'... and then i think josh told her to stop asking or something (in chinese) and she was like saying back to him (in chinese) something like ~ what? so she's not going to eat it for the rest of her life?.................

and then she found out i couldn't swim and told me to go join adult vacswim classes (like actually told me in english!) .........................

she even told josh (in chinese) i eat like a kid because my plate was so 'far away' from me.................

she makes me feel really stupid.

maybe she's trying to joke half the time, but okay, i get it, i suck, and ur son is awesome, because i can't speak chinese, eat chilli / hot stuff, play an instrument / piano, can't swim, and i can't get into med... and he can do all those things and more.... -.-"

sigh, i am tryingggggggggggg to give her a break. josh always tells me to not let me preconcieved ideas affect how i see her. but you know, its pretty difficult... i don't really agree with a lot of her ideas on education and stuff. but yeah i don't say anything, of course. but i fear conflict when we get married and have kids.

it's okay. mother in laws are meant to be difficult right? but she's not even my mother in law yet!

ahh, the difficulties of dating the first born son of an asian family. i think i shall just avoid his parents for a while. because tbh, it just makes me feel inadequate and fustrated =[

Went for familyy dinner tonight. Peking duck (yum!) + Fried squid tenticles + Seafood Ho Fun with Egg Sauce.

I think my sister is feeling slightly guilty because this morning she found out i broke the glass cup in the bathroom and told me how she wouldn't trust me with her things let alone someone's life as a doctor. And i was like "well it doesn't matter because i didn't get in anyways" and she was something like "yeah but you break everything" and i was like "well i've still got a while to learn to be more careful" then 5 minutes later she was like "oh did you mean you didn't get in for next year?!" and i was like "yeahhh". ahaha, so in the car she was talking to me about it and at dinner she said she wants to take me to some new tea place she found to 'cheer me up'.

I forgot to take my breakfast this morning. Yes, my mum makes me breakfast (even on sundays) and leaves them in the oven. Must be more aware and remember to take it, because she puts in the effort every morning =[. sometimes i don't even eat the lunch she makes =[, and she wakes up early to make it. sigh. i'm so bad.

i love my family.

i love my friends.

i love my boyfriend.

i love God!

♥ yum! wayne cooper.

it amazes me how much shoes can make a girls heart melt.

it also amazes how MUCH people can spend on shoes $_$

hundreds. maybe even thousands of dollars. for just one pair.

brandedness = $$$$

and as much as i think really expensive stuff is overrated,
i think it's silly how my student paid 30 bucks for ballet flats from spendless, when she could have gotten a nicer pair from betts for the same price. yes i said it. those shops that claim to sell "cheaper" aren't always cheaper. esp when the other more expensive stores have AWESOME sales.

it kinda reminds me places like target or kmart or even bigW... they are actually pretty expensive for what they are...

hmmm anyways. i went through basement at myer in the city today. and there wasn't much. as i was leaving i dropped by the shoe section. and found these sachi shoes which looked very similar to my sisters but in a different colour. so i took a pic and asked her if she wanted them.

and then as i was waiting for her reply i went around to the other side to look at the rest of the shoes on sale. and found theseeeeeeeeeeee.

yes, wayne cooper. eek. I'm becoming branded. but you will never guess how much they were.

last pair. just fits. shiny!

it's such a classic shoe, the black, shiny, point toe heeled shoes... can be used for businessy stuff or going out stuff... and i admit, it's something my sister would wear. too bad it only came in my size :)

actually i remember once in betts they had ones like these from zu on sale for 50, and i wanted to get them, but never ended up doing so......

but now i have these :) for less than 50 too ;)

♥ my sister.

meet my sister (left).

four years older than me, she's the smart one in our family.

also the most party animal like. and she has bad taste in guys (well my mother thinks so, and i agree).

there are days where we get along, and days where we don't.

many people would know that we are not exactly the tight, compared to most sibling (at church anyways)

she is very strong minded, and i thought i was pretty bad at letting go of a fight, geez. she just doesn't know when to get go aye =.="

anyways. i'm really annoyed at her today.

i wasn't meant to be tutoring, but my student got the date wrong.

so i was napping when she rocked up haha.

then like half way through tutoring all i could hear was my *tempted to insert 'stupid' here* sister talking loudly with mum.

so i get my student to do this question as i walk out and tell her to to shut up because im trying to tutor.

mum tells her to go away, obviously mum doesn't doesn't give a crap about what she's saying (which i might add is a common occurance and the only good thing that comes when she does have a bf because she can talk all she likes to him) and mum moves to the computer room.

five minutes later. i hear here again, going off at mum in the computer room which is just down the hallway.

like zmgsh. -.-" SHUT UP!

so i go out again and tell her to shut up again! and like zmgsh?! and she dares to keep trying to talk until i push her into the bathroom (because she had her towel to shower etc) and attempted to close to door on her, which i might add she attempted to fight to keep the door open.

seriously. no one cares what you have to say. go find someone who does.

so very very annoyed/pissed off at her.

♥ day 3 : tricky menus & stupid heavy chem books

lets talk about menus.

now, i've come to realize.. that people have different opinions. like lets say.. i might think stomach is really yummy! but then josh will be like =/... or maybe something thats really special to me, may not be as special to you.

so. today i went for dinner in nb with my sister, and i ordered "special chicken noodle" something something. and when i got it i was like "eh? they call that special chicken? its just the soya chicken?"

so. the restaurant.. and the menu... tricked me! special -__-" whatever.

another case where this happened, was when i was ordering food at uncle billys. i ordered yummy duck for them. only to realize it was just normal duck with YAM (EWWWWWWW)

again, the menu wins.

so. next time i look at a menu, i must be more cautious of the wording that describe the meal i'm about to order. words such as 'special' and 'yummy' is SUBJECTIVE. and not necessarily in my favor.

ANYWAYS.

that stupid chem book. is so heavy. i can't believe i carried it around all day~!
never going to do that again!

P.S. my sister couldn't stop complaining about the sink, because for the first two hours, the sink drain cleaner thing didn't work. according to her it was because i was "sting" and didn't buy the real draino xD.

P.P.S. i made a few new friends today in chem! handy, especially with the complicated chem topic we're suffering from atm.
