Happy Birthday to me!!!! :)

Today.. no.. i mean yesterday.. 27th April was my birthday.. :) Initially I expected my birthday to be quiet and not expecting lots of people to remember.. but lots did actually.. hehehe.. I received many many wishes and am glad to know that even though I am sooo far away from home.. I still have sooo many frens who care for me in Malaysia.. and sooooooo many lovely frens here in Australia.. Big thanks to everybody who remembered!!! :)

Well.. I was at class yesterday actually.. for SIX hours!! hahaha.. spent a big portion of the time disscussing my marketing assignment.. eheheheh.. anyways.. met up with Jee Ning and Ping in the city.. the initial plan was to JUST go to koko black at Lygon Street.. but then.. hahaha.. we ended up going to dinner at Ying Thai THEN Koko Black!!! Hahaha.. gosh!!! We ate soooooooooo much!!! hahahah..On the way back from the city, I bumped into a group of drunken people.. kids really.. they were barely 16.. cursing throughout the train trip and eventually getting into a fight.. no suprise there.. but no worries.. i'm fine.. but it was scary though.. haihzz. .. what an experience.. hehehe... :)

Got back to Caufield and was suppose to meet Yvonne and Hui Ling for dinner.. At Mama Dukes.. mana tahu.. kah wei, Jessica and David were there as well.. hehehe.. was quite a suprise.. had quite a good time with them.. hehehe..Then it was SUPRISE time.. hahaha.. this was hilarious.. it was sooooooooooo obvious from the begining.. hahaha.. david asked me to go and play cards.. when he knows that I DONT play.. but he kept on insisting.. hahaa.. then everyone suddenly started insisting.. hahaha..but it was really sweeet of them.. hehehehe... he told me.. next time he's going to tell me that we're going to play UNO so that i wont be suspicious.. hahaha.. But it was really sweeeeeeeet!!! hehehhe..

To top it all.. I received tonnes of sms and messages via friendster and facebook.. especially from frens from Sunway, and also Kuching.. Thanks to my family too.. who called.. emailed.. heheheh.. thanks for the wishes everyone.. be it early, on time or belated.. :) Ohhhh..

How dangerous can the world get???

Gosh.. I was soooooooo suprise when mom called yesterday and told me that shooting happened at Virginia Tech.. At first, I thought only a small number of people were killed/injured.. but while on the train back from the city last night.. I was reading the newspaper and there were THIRTY THREE people killed!!! Gosh.. 33!!! Imagine the loss... the mourning.. the grief the family of these victims are feeling right now..

Hey.. nobody expected anything to happen.. it was just a normal day for everyone.. then out of no where u get this guy coming into your classroom and randomly shooting everyone.. gosh.. what's the world turned out to be??? Is this what we can expect all the time??? Is this just the way it's gonna be in the future?????

People.. keep these injured victims and the family of the deceased victims in your prayers.. most importantly.. pray that the world is not going to get even more violent than it already is..

I miss my family!!! :(

There will always be those days when one would just wish that they were just at home.. Being a student studying abroad.. I guess this is one feeling we would always experience.. when you look outside and the sun’s gone.. the cloud’s gloomy.. you just wish you were at home.. when you have assignments or exams coming up.. you just wanna be at home.. when it’s the holidays now.. you just wanna be at home.. one would not appreciate their family as much until they leave home and are on their own.. it’s not a fantastic experience.. but hey.. that’s life isn’t it??? Not everything comes easily in life.. The homesickness will always be there.. no matter what.. and personally I think that is a good thing.. it at least shows that although I am abroad I am still very much a home bound girl.. I miss my family.. and am definitely counting down the days till I get to see them end of this year!!!!

My beloved aunts, uncle and grandma.. :)

Moi familia!!! All together now!!! :)

Cousins!!! Evan and Ethan!! I miss them to bits!!! :(

Leaving the best for last.. :) The people who gave me everything I can ask for..unconditional love.. care.. and understanding.. :) Moi Parents!!! :)

Happy Easter!! Have a good holiday everyone!!! :)

I started off the Easter break with a pot luck dinner hosted by friends.. hehhee.. it was good fun.. we had bah kut teh.. after sooooo long.. and too much dessert.. hehehe... after dinner.. we played MAH JONG!!!! hahaha.. trust me.. am not anywhere near good at it.. it was my first time.. but it was interesting.. hehehe.. :P

Frens and I went off shopping on saturday.. it was good fun... lots of bonding time.. which was really good.. :)

On Sunday.. Kah Wei, Yuyee and I decided to go to the planet shakers Church since it was Easter.. hehehe.. it was a good service :)

Monday.. 300!!! hahaha...
We.. well.. more of me.. hehehe.. decided to go down to the IMAX museum to watch 300 for one simple reason.. i thought it was going to be a 3D version.. hahaha.. but too bad,, it wasnt.. it was just an extremely big screen.. toooooooooo big i must say.. hahaha.,, but we had fun.. lots of laugh.. lots of food.. as usual.. hehehehe.. :P
Later, Yvonne mentioned that there was an Easter sale going on at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.. so we headed there.. the boys were thinking of getting DVDs.. but it turned out they were all really old films.. hehehe.. i on the other hand got myself 4 books.. it was a fantastic deal!!! At only 3 dollars each!!! Yuppeeee!!! :P

All and all.. the break has been quite enjoyable sooo far... but shall need to start with my assignment and studying.. hahaha.. mid term coming up!!! Urgh!!!! Wish me luck people!!! :) Anyways.. i've a few photos taken from the past few days.. enjoy... :) Happy easter everyone!!!
