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!!!

Tagged twice!!

Each one starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on.

Here it goes...
I don’t know what to say… but I guess it’s abut getting to know me better eh?? Ehehehe.. alright.. here goes… me??? I’m from Malaysia.. I’m pretty outgoing.. friendly.. if u talk to me..

Don’t annoy me or anger me.. cos I might never speak to u ever again!!! ( don’t believe me? Try me!! It’s happened before!!! )

I dislike people who don’t keep their promises.. I can be very determined and will do my best ( only when I want to!! ).. I’m trying to study hard and get my degree!!! Hehehe.. I’m still learning to tolerate and live with people from different backgrounds..
Have I mentioned that I miss my family and frens and wanna go home now??? Haihz… I’m terrible when it comes to homesickness.. cos deep down inside.. I’m still my parents’ little gal!!!

Uni life is hectic!!!

Urgh!!! After arriving here for 3 weeks.. I have finally come down to one conclusion.. uni life is HECTIC!!! One thing about monash is.. it's located not so far away from the city yet somehow the city just looks soooo far away... look i dont know what am i crapping about here.. i just spent a sleepless night trying to finish my assignment.. gosh.. I didnt even go down to the city last weekend.. plus.. i didnt go for the moomba festival!!! I havent seen Ping yet.. I havent seen Melissa yet!!! There soooo many places I wanna go but I havent.. why? Cos uni life is just sooooo HECTIC!!!! Urgh!!!!!!!!! :(

Emotions

It's funny how feelings can be at times.. i mean.. one can be happy this moment and terribly down the next... haihzz.. i was reading everyone's blog and all.. one part of me is very very happy for everyone.. i mean.. everyone's doing well.. yet the other part.. we're all not together anymore.. yeah.. yeah.. i know.. life moves on and aall... but hey... sometimes i wished there was this time machine and i could actually turn back time and go back to the times when we were all together again.. :( Anyways.. to all my peeps out there.. i miss u all to bits.. especially cindy, sun, ment and a few more.. keep me updated with all that u guys do k?? Missing u all lots!!! Big hugz!!! Loving and missing u guys always, Ying.

hey u all!!

hey people!!! How's everyone doing??? good i hope... yups... am now in melbourne!! haha.. caufield monash is pratically like chinatown.. soooooooooo many asians around... hehe.. i live not very far from uni... about 15 mins walk away... people here are generally friendly.. hehe.. no complaints about that.. i[ve got nice housemates but i still miss cindy, susan and khomet the most!!! Ummmm... what else??? Parents left for home two days ago.. thought i'd be really homesick like back when i first started in KL... but all's well.. it took me only one day ti feel comfortable.. hehehe.. i went to the planet shakers church as welll.. here in the city.. it was not what i tot a church servicewas like... but hey.. it was fun!!! hehe.. :P m trying not to think bout going home too much.. i mean.. hey i dont even know when am i going back end of this year.. but all's great over all... hehe.. am meeting new people... so am settling down pretty well.. i gues... :)

randomness!!

SORRY for not been updating... hehe.. i've been reminded a couple of times to update.. but apparently have nothing much to blog about.. hehe.. anyways.. i did something pretty random today... hehe.. as all of u in kch should know.. the weather here has gone pretty crazy.. hehe.. it's sunny for like 10 mins and it's pouring for the next hour also!! anyways... i thought since it was sunny this evening i should wash my car ( given i havent done so for 2 weeks now!! ).. in the midst of getting ready ( i already vacummed my car and was preparing to splash water onto it ).. the most unexpected thing happen.. it started to rain!! haihzz.. and it was still sooooo bloody sunny!! My grandma was shouting for me to come in.. but then i came out with a fantastic idea.. hehe.. why not just soap my car under the rain and let the rain water cleanse it off??? hehe.. so imagine.. my kakak and i each took an umbrella.. armed with a cloth and a bucket of soap water each and started washing the car... hehe.. mana tahu.. half way through.. the rain stopped and we ended up needing to get water to rinsed the car after all!! haha!!!

This is complete randomness!! hehe!! :P
