Euphoria~!

These are the pictures from Lyon's camera which are accessable for now. Rest are with Didier and Jon. =)

JD's belated 24th birthday celebration @ the apartment.

isd reunites again.
i noticed something, my head looks a bit displaced. hahaha.

Euphoria is dammnnnnn good lah. It feels so like those college days where I would sweat profusely and danced for hours straight because the music was sooo good. Why is it damn good?

1. vibrating floors
2. no drinking floors
3. tons of moving heads
4. djs actually remix their songs unlike those in canberra where they just repeat a playlist. stupid.
5. FREE ENTRY!! courtesy of Marcus' friend who works there, name which I forgot. Club mah, very noisy. >.<

One bad thing is that booze are very expensive here. Good thing is, I had one sip of beer to last my ''high''. Woot. It was all influence of music. Hehe.

Seriously

Okay, so I have been a bit out of the action lately due to:

The weather.

Freaking hot sial. Everytime I would decline my mom's offer to ronda around town with her, because it will mean I have to wear long pants. I was wearing shorts when I came home and not being perasan, but seriously disturbing oogling eyes everywhere. Yucks!!!! Not putting up with the weather means I have to wear shorts whenever I go and having DOMs (dirty old men) staring. Ew ew. So I have been housebound for a while, rehab to my knee. Oh btw, I DID NOT go through the MRI. Fking expensive. So I did daily stretches and I swim to relax my knee as much as possible. So far, my knee no longer hurts that bad. So it's a good sign. Sooner or later, I hope I can finally do my two favourite exercises. Treadmill and dance. :)

I got too bored and I decided to shop for working clothes. My first time entering one utama and wow, 9 months can bring about quite alot of change. I got a pair of snazzy shoes, an A line skirt and few formal tops.

Later I might be meeting Ean and Wei Wen. Gah this is the thing about losing your phone. You lose the numbers as well and the offline messages on msn helps a little. No car because my family like VIP like that, everyday go out punya. So no car, need transport. So Ean/Wei Wen, reply me asap if you see this!!! =/

Yesterday also, Didier and Marcus were in KLCC and Bukit Bintang, cannot go coz too far no transport. Today they are heading to Genting for one day trip. So shiok!

Later for dinner....JOGOYA!!!!!! Finally. :)

Later at 11pm to midnight the Singaporean boys are coming to town! Too bad Minhua is not coming anymore sighh. =(

Mixed feelings

I haven't had the chance to blog with pictures, especially food ones because usually I'm already eating before I snap those pictures. Seriously pig like.

Home is still the same, some touches here and there. Slept for 6 hours and had to wake up for a supposedly x ray scan of the busted knee. My orthopedist told me that there might be some minor problems in the cartilage or the ligaments, and therefore an x ray will be useless. And an MRI would be good.

I'm like... WTF.

From all the Greys and House I've watched, usually severe cases need MRI. >.< GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I was and am freaking out as always. Luckily the doc said it should be normal since those areas take a long time to recover. I'm scheduled to have one next Monday, so at the meantime, I should exercise.

Which I haven't done in months because I thought I would further injure myself. But in his tone, I can sense him saying: ''Your muscles have turned lame, get off your butt woman!'' hmmsss...

So I need to swim and gym, doctor's orders. To strengthen the muscles. Lol. Sigh pretty true since I have become a blob of fat in these few weeks.

Oh and I had my RM14 nasi lemak this morning! I'm so happy teeheee~! All the sotong swimming in my stomach.

Another good news. Corp valuation marks. Hehe. It was worth every meeting we had. :)

Hopefully it will transcend to the overall marks as well. Okay gtg do what people do in the holidays. Slouch around on the nice couch and watch TV. Hah!

You know you're home when you...

pay 20 cents for usage of a dirty toilet.

eat caramel popcorn and pay RM6 for your movie ticket. Quantum of Solace was an okayyy movie, but short. 1 hour 30 minutes only. Good lead up to 3rd installment.

eat heaps of dimsum (especially the little ball with sesame seeds and lou mai kai) because it is soo freaking cheap!

buy even more pirated movies for RM6 each. OMG. And I've watched one of them already.

having to sweat profusely and hang out in 2 shopping malls in ONE DAY because the outside is just too horrendous to walk in.

now waiting to eat a seafood feast, same thing tomorrow weeeeeee~!

i love home. well not exactly home, i'm in Miri, but after crossing the Brunei borders, I have this elated feeling. im so jumpyyy. :)

Travelling time yesterday included: waking up at 3.30am for final checks, taxi arrived 4.40am, reached airport 5am for a 6.25am flight, 1 hour and a half later, reached Brissy at 7am local time, needed to take a transit to international airport while braising the rain, hung around for a 11.20am flight to Brunei. 6 hours and a half later, reached Brunei at 4.30pm local time, was sweating and breathing water, and after 2 1/2 hours, reached Miri at 7pm local time. State of mind: exhausted. Slept from 10pm till 8.30am local time. Nice.

As I...

Pack up and go. I reminisce. I ponder. I reflect back. How time flies.

This year it has been a whirlwind. So fast paced and suddenly we are at the end of it. But yet I can remember it all, the details.

I aspired to do more things and have a fulfilled year. And I did. more friends, more socials, more studying, more holidays etc. However these things have consequences, more friends meaning more people to misunderstand your actions and words, more problems at the domestic housefront, more stress, more money spent. lol.

At the middle of the year, I was an emotional wreck, my weakest point being the breakup, then a rebound soon later, hah, felt so pathetic and useless. But I've come a long way. Juggling work and my commitments. And in one sense, my commitments were my means of distraction at these low times. Luckily I have my friends, especially those who have stayed up late to listen to my problems and whinee.

I have achieved many milestones. And have sunked deep into the abyss. In just one year. Having said that, it has been a great pleasure. Knowing that it is possible to push forward and having it all.

Highlights include (what I remember from the top of my head): Going to my first ang moh ball ANU ball, running for MASCA VP, being a part of ISD and MSO organizing IB, Malam Kenduri and the lot, having to sprain my leg hours before IB, and thankfully it recovered minutes before I performed, having a birthday video dedicated from family and friends all over the world (thanks guysss for the awesomest video ever!!!), going to SYTYCD Australia Tour, watched my first theatre production Inuk 2, Gold Coast and Brisbane, winning HKSS-Mandarin Club Singing Competition, being a Sign Mentor for the first time, organizing bigger better parties, my one day trips to Sydney, meet ups with Bank Negara governor, laser tag!, climbing Mt Koscuiszko, skiing and seeing snow for the first time, first St Patrick's, winning 2nd place for MASCA Frisbee, losing my phone @ Moose, twisted my knee, having a pass for Stochastic and be happy about it haha, having to fail Survivals mid semester not coz I was stupid academically, but failing because of the marking system, waking up for Silo, karaoke in Canberra, and last but not least, performing for all the awesomest events.

I am blessed for all that I have done and all that I've experienced. They help shape who I am today.

Thennnn we ate good unhealthy food, we chatted, we watched people bathe (nah just kidding), then went up for some good card games, tv watching and just chatting. Good times. =)

Packing Blues

So yes, I slept frommmm 11pm till 11am. Sorry Didi and Marcus, gah supposed to go out wan, somemoreiwassortatheorganizer. but too tired lah. need to pay back sleep debt. :)

Exams? Well in terms of difficulty from low to high: CV, Macro, Survivals then IFM. Surprisingly. =/ But hopefully can squeeze in more HD's/D's and get those exemptions rolling this sem. Hopefully.

Anyway, after dinner yesterday with Shawn and Arjun, I packed. So 3 boxes are done and

heaps more to go. Gah. But have to lah these things.

Haha as I was packing, I realized that...

my trusty black boots which I have travelled around the world with.

got a fat hole in it. >.<

(i soft focused the other parts, there is no need for you to see how dirty the soles are. =P)

and fixing shoes here so expensive!

So mama should I bring back or should I just get another pair? hmms.

And i'm moving to a mezzanine next year. hehe. the unilodge room that got staircase wan. good lah, because each of us have more space in our lives, instead of squeezing in the small double studio. haha. plus space means I can organize parties like i did in 1st year. heheh. potluckdrinkingpartiesgirlsgathering etc etc. Ohh and will be neighbours with Gene and Amanda. wootttt!

Okay, I'm going to go pack more now. Already ran some errants this morning. Later going to chill at Daniel's place. Then tonight going to go Knightsbridge with the boys and some others. Weee. I like this. I'm getting out of my social withdrawals symptoms. yay yay yay.

And more people finish exams today. I likeeeeee. :)

My name

Inspired by an article from the Star; let me tell you about my name.

20 years ago, I can imagine my parents looking at my chubby fair cheeks with slits as eyes and say, let's name her Chua ___ ___ (censored due to privacy issues). By translation it means: (noble) (peace), well at least in very simplistic, layman terms. Then my parents decided to give me my first name, which means (I googled it), peaceful (again), fair and first daughter. Which is, fair enough, pretty true.

Growing up, there were PLENTY of name calling. Having the first name of the most popular bear in the whole wide world meant creation of nicknames like pooh, poop and poo. Then primary school it was WC (toilet btw >.<), poohbear. I guess nicknames become less of a joke as we grow up, because by high school and college nicknames have better resemblance to the actual name itself, like Ning, Win etc. Then at university, Mel calls me Winniewe or We, Arjun calls me Agent W (omg still damn lame) etc etc.

Okay, now comes to the conclusion. Although all the teasings and name calling, I am forever grateful for my name. Because: it's so easily spelt, it's so easily written in chinese, and remember last time when teachers call up students alphabetically, and most of the time, they won't reach the bottom in time? yay for me. =P Having a rather wellknowned name of a bear means having people to remember mine easily, especially when meeting with important people for the first time, you will always want to get the first impression right and make yourself memorable. Also, thanks to the bear, my name makes good conversation starters: Hi, I'm Winnie. Then if the guy/girl comes along and say what? and asked for the spelling then I'll go. Oh you know Winnie the pooh? yeah then I'll smile. Then they'll smile. And they'll ask more name-related questions, which answers I always recycle. Convenient. HAHA.

And yes, I maybe boastful but we all have to be proud of our names right? When you are born, your first possession is your name. Your ticket to live in this world. And its your only possession to keep till eternity, till the afterlife when your name appears on your tombstone. So be proud. And appreciate your names.

And most of all, for it is our names that we are not forgotten by everyone. :)

note the chubbyness. >.<

Exam, food.

I ate 5 nutella breads today. and when i say nutella, I meant the chocolate spread is at times thicker than the bread itself. and blobs of chocolate will slowly ooze out when I sink my teeth into the oh so delicious exam delicacy. Ah so velvety in your mouth, running through all the senses. Dear nutella, where will I be without you?? My loyal exam companion, never fail to feed extended glucose to me and help me put on those exam pounds. HAHAHA. im a chocolate pig.

anywho, it's 8th November already and in 10 more days...

*leaving on a jetplane*

So many things to do sia.

Packing is the worst, cuz more stuffs this year, need to store the stuffs, need to dry clean the winter clothes, need to shop for souvenirs to bring home, need to pay rent in advance etc etc etc.

But homeee is best. :)

And since I will be in the east coast, I wantttttttt

sarawakian kan mian, lutong porridge, ais kacang, money chai (money veggie =P)

Then when I finally reach home....

NASI LEMAK FROM VILLAGE PARK. Ohhh my sweet sweetttt nasi lemak which costs RM11 but I don't care! i want the sotong, the chicken, then the burning hawt sambal...

it was my first meal back home last year so you can imagine how tasty it is! :)

then next up, my dear mummy's cooking. i want to eat flat fish!!! and and i want sambal ikan bilis. gah gah gah.

and I have not been taking very good care of my health, so have to replenish and rejuvenate back home.

Then then, I want to go to eat Jalan Imbi's (pardon me my Muslim friends) ___ intestines porridge. OMGGGG. I missed it so much.

Seriously, I am soo not ladylike when it comes to food. I'll eat anything and everything. Lol. Intestines, liver, all the internal organs...chia pao liao! In fact, 351's household dish is chicken giblets with ginger and green shallots, I LIKEEEE! =)

Okay continue with the story. Then I wanttttt.... Pisang Goreng opposite Taman Tun Supermarket. And TTDI's Rojak Buah. And SS2 Hassan Rojak. And Pan Mein from OK. OMG OMG OMG.

Battlefield

Officially 2 days more till battle, 3 papers in 3 days. Fk it! =/

Having an icky feeling, of exhaustion. There is so much at stake now, time for some redemption after last semester's blunder.

And I am so bored out of playing spider solitaire all the time. In fact I've play 874 games this year alone. I'm such an inner nerd. =P

Okay, enough of my randoms. Good luck to everyone for the exams. May HDs fly your way! Hiatus until I feel like updating. :)

Fix me.

Haha. Went to Iori for lunch. And I got my salmon fix. Canberra's so small, there are only a few nice eateries. So you will definitely bump into people. Kar How was having his birthday lunch there. Heheh. Once again, happy birthday to you!!! =)

Oh and at 3pm Jon handed in his thesis. CONGRATS! You should celebrate...by cooking me a meal for all the constant msn encouragement I provided you. Teehee. No lah, just kidding. We'll all go celebrate after exams okie? :)

Oh and I have been couped up in the room for 3 days in a row. Was house bound since Thursday night's festivity and had my first walk outside just now. Felt a bit awkward, being exposed to the outside world, and like I told most people, I think I have social withdrawals. HAHA. I am becoming what Taiwanese call ''zhai nu'', the techy girls who only socialize through the internet.

Thank goodness I had some human interation today when June and Daniel decided to pop by my house for a while and as usual, June always brings me gift in the form of food. Thank you darling! This time...

Rocky Road!! yum yumm.

***

Gah I'm missing my dance club days all of the sudden. sigh miss all the fun times and getting invitation to perform. meeting famous dj's. gah. miss miss miss.

Our instructors Fellest and Sharlin are all damn busy and damn famous back home. Congrats to them! I'm so happy to see these hardworking individuals achieving their goals after all the sweat and tears. It's all worth it. :) And damn they look hot as ever.

Note to self: work out once busted knee goes unbust and get back into shape.

our baby!!!!!!! haha. my number at the side is expired already, so don't bother. =P
Awesomely, my sis Ellen was also in this year's Taylor's Dance Arena committee. So yeah, the organizing trait runs in the family. =)

awww. I yearn!!

Hehe. And i'm still contemplating whether to start ANU dance. Though I may not have the time to do the running of the club, at least there is an initiative to give it a kickstart. If my sis comes and joins me here next year, then almost certain we will. So yeah, we'll see. ^^
