I can cross my little toe on my right foot over onto the 4th toe :D They call me monkey toes.
I'm a folder
I squeeze tubes from the bottom up. I really don't like it when my nice smooth tube gets all scrunched up in the middle =(
I miss my old bolster. And I'm not calling it my old smelly bolster cos it smells nice! Cos I smell nice!
I'm actually a hopeless romantic. I get all gooey and awwey easily. Hmm...I'm like an uncooked egg.
I only listen to the tune of a song but when I really like it, I have to google the lyrics cos I just can't do the whole make up your own lyrics thing.
I google everything
Sometimes I pretend to be clueless when people are being subtle cos I hate misinterpreting. If it's important, hit me on the head with a frying pan if you have to.
I hate bad English (haha bad English) and US English (isn't that just a bloody oxymoron?) and even more so, I hate that my English is going down the drain
I love Singlish

Six:
1. Laura
2 - 6 Whomever..the people whom I can be bothered with have all done it already I think cept above

. Tim Tam Orgasm .

Also known as the Tim Tam Bomb and the Tim Tam Slam
Personally I think it's more of a bomb which explodes in your mouth rather than a slam
I mean, imagine slamming a bar of Tim Tam in your mouth. You'd get it everywhere.
On your teeth, your clothes...

Yes anyway

How to have a Tim Tam Orgasm

1. Make a nice hot drink
2. Grab a Tim Tam
3. Bite of a corner off 2 opposite ends of the Tim Tam
4. Dip Tim Tam into hot drink
5. Use said Tim Tam as a straw and suck up your drink till the drink reaches your mouth
6. Pop hot-drink-filled Tim Tam into your mouth
7. Enjoy Tim Tam collapsing into a gooey chocolatey mess in your mouth. Mmm. My friend calls this the closest thing to having a taste buds orgasm =)

. Tea .

Marmeee!
Next time you go grocery shopping, look out for Dilmah's Masala Chai, Fiery Ceylon Spice.
It's bloody good. Better than that 1st fantastic cup of Masala Tea we had at the Wisma food court

. Elephant Dung .

Dearestest Mumsy & Daddo,

Congratulations! You guys did a much better job than some of the parents of some of the people I live with yay!!! *applauds* because I am possibly one of the cleanest and most considerate people around here. I mean my room's a bit of a mess, but that's my room....
AND!!!! I'm one of the youngest here toooo!!!
Wheee!!!! *more applause*

Love many many big big much much
your darlingest little daughter,
Princess Nicole



and you! you stupid little shit, quite acting like a stupid spoilt, self centred little princess and act your damn age!! I'm younger than you for God's sake!

Ahhhh I feel soo much better now that I've vented =)

I know what you're thinking Mumsy
At least I'm aware enough to turn it around yes?

. Note to Self .

When cooking anything stewy/soupy don't be in a rush to add water/milk.
Bit by bit. Wait and see.

Tonight's dinner menu
Curry-like thingo
with
lamb & leek sausage
and
toasted bread

Made of
Masala powder mix
Minced pork
Capsicum
Tomatoes
Garlic
Onion
&
Too much milk
Add salt to taste

Took forever to cook cos I had to boil down the milk but bloody nice.
Next time, add potatoes and peas.

Now I have a big pot of it cos I couldn't be bothered to wait to boil down more milk. There's so much it's probably enough to feed our family of 5.
And I have no idea how I'm gonna put it all away.
*faints*

At least it was nice =)

And now to make a nice mug of masala chai tea :D

. Forever Young .

And in the last hour (Sg time)
And just to re-emphasise
Hope you've had an absolutely magical one
And for God's sake...
You're still young!!!

. Pancakes and Ribs .

Yeah I'm still thinking about it....
Clara brought me to Pancakes on the Rocks in Sydney. We shared a Mexicana for the main course. Not bad...not worth mentioning hahaha.... We had our own dessert... The Ultimate...ooooh... Yummy cheese in crepes on raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream and a side of strawberries. Like raspberry cheesecake
And then a few days later we went to this place at Bondi that serves pretty good ribs. Mmm

I was starving tooo much to think of takin a pic until I'd tucked into it... Oh well. =)

. Shut up Monkey Mind!!.

How do u shut it up? I'm bloody trying to read my texts and my brain jus keeps goin off on a tangent.

Here's an example "...in a wide variety of fields - education, art,... hmm my hair's pretty soft today... I wonder what Mummy's doing... ooh basket, gaining weight...it is clear that power relations...omg I just read a whole paragraph without registering anything...just as one can speak of the accumulation... *song starts playing in head* ... it makes as much sense to speak of the accumulation and unequal distribution of cultural capital - education, status, legitimacy, knowledge .... mmm feel like going to the beach...augh what am I reading?!... In a wide variety of fields - education, art, sport, the media, politics, social movments, status differences, and even warfare - it is clear that power relations operate as much hey! I'm actually reading without being distracted...oh wait... didn't I just read this para already? -_-"

As you can tell, it's not fun.
Shut up Monkey Mind

. Stinky! .

I want the damn antibacterial antiperspirant foot and shoe spray that Dav and Clara have from friggin Coles!!!

2 different settings
3 very interesting bits of news.
How amusing

. Easter Break Holiday .

Yay!

I had lotsa fun =)
I wanna go back to Sydney

We're thinking of doing a road trip up during one of the hols

More peekchurs!

Me, Dav (1 of my lovely hostesses) and Ollie at Starbucks.
Yeah can't quite see it. That's why I'm telling you where we were =)

Darling Harbour I think

Dav, Ollie, Laura, Clara (other lovely hostess), me

Laura n Dav bickering over photos

Clara not giving a damn haha

Stayin at Dav's & Clara's and Laura's really makes me want a place that I can call home for the next 3 years. I was amazed that I accepted the fact that I've really left home and am living overseas, that it didn't feel like a big deal at all. I know why now. This place that I'm living in just feels so temporary. It's just a room. And there's the outside common area. But it's just virtually still a room. It's kinda like a camp cos of the little things like an almost publicky concept of a bathroom and toilets. I mean really, you have shower stalls separate from the toilet area. The place where you go and pee is jus like a school toilet. Stalls and sinks and mirrors. No privacy whatsoever.

And that's why all this feels so damn temporary. No "I'm gonna be living overseas for 3 years" feel at all. I am SO tempted to relocate. Parents: the thought of Sydney is now crossing my mind.

You know I wouldn't even mind so much the housework and all that crap if I could have friends as housemates.

And you know I'll probably get more exercise living near a city cos I'll be walking everywhere. :D

ARgh

Oh by the way...

The 300 free minutes are to prepaid people. So let me know if you're prepaid or not so that I can decide whether to add you to my 100 free minutes or not :D

I'm now on Optus baby!

300 free minutes! Who else is on Optus? Let me know in my comments box thanks!

On another note, Aussie service provider personnels are sucky! Augh the whole mobile service is crappy. Friggin exorbitant. It's like... hmmm, should I go with the friggin expensive? Or the even more friggin expensive? Oh wait, maybe I'll just go with the friggin expensive plan! *beams*

And the people on the phone... OMG, outsourced to India. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Indians but they don't even understand my question! Geez!!!

Mmm, backing up a bit, when you get an Optus prepaid, there's this plan that you can get 300 free minutes to ANY Optus number AND you get this thing called Mytime, which is where you nominate like 5 numbers and you get 100 free minutes to call these guys with. Cept you only can do it at about 5 minute stretches I think.

So I asked the lady what would happen when I use up the whole 100 minutes? Would it carry over to the 300 free minutes I have? And she totally couldn't understand me! And I rephrased it so many times and all she kept telling me was that I could check my balance of free minutes by calling a certain number and that if I exceed my minutes I will get charged.

Yes we all know that I will get charged when my free minutes are exceeded and to call whatever bloody number. But will the damn 5 free numbers people get carried over to the 300 minutes?! Cos there are 2 sets of free minutes! Bleh

Am I the stupid one here? Am I spending too many braincells on neuroscience that I'm somehow the one not having enough to understand other things?

And if you wanna transfer a number from 1 service provider to another and the account doesn't belong to you, they're gonna wanna record the voice of the person it belongs to. No, they won't wanna speak to you. So now they think my brother has an Aussie accent. HAHAHA


And on yet another ♪,

I'm going to Sydney!!!


Thanks Mumsy and DaddyO!! :D

. Some International Reception .

It was a bit of a waste of time, cept I got to meet up with my friends again whom I got to know during the international orientation week.

SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS & SEALS (quick post)

We went swimming with the dolphins and seals on 17th March.
The bus was gonna leave at 630am to bring us on a 4 hr drive to Port Philip Bay so we had to wake up friggin early
And it was SO COLD!!
The day looked soo pretty but it was soo cold! Thank god for the wet-suits man. The water was very nice and warm so when you got into it, it warmed you up but the moment you got out... good luck man haha. My fingers and toenails were grey.

We saw lotsa dolphins. There was a whole pod of em, with babies and all =) They swam all ard and under us and were so playful. I couldn't much be bothered with the seals though. They're more curious and interactive but good lord, they stink worse than friggin belachan and salted fish mixed together haha. I found em stinky, imagine how the ang mohs felt haha.

ohhhh and there was this hammock sticking out the side of the boat that you cn sit in. I almost got washed off by the waves haha...friggin fun!

At the end of the trip, I was surprised when my frens wanted to change into nice fresh clothes at the public toilets. I mean, it's not like you're gonna have a shower so you cn change into ur clothes man, and our bikinis were dry by that time haha. And they were shocked when I jus put my clothes over my bikini, smoothened my hair a bit and left the toilets jus like that.

ohh! and I appeared in the papers haha. It was some story on uni activities. I've the article somewhere in my room. =)


Me, Tania





Me, Tania, Simone

Oh and the person facing in... yeah that's me.
