Its Friday!!Oh no...that means my holiday is ending really soon...>_<

haha...been doing nothing much - trying to study and stuff!But not very successful!I think for many people who are studying exams are round the corner?!Mine too~ Late nights, yes we shouldn't do it but...So i thought why not lets think of some ideas to keep ourselves awake at 2am!

(1) Coffee - doesn't work on me!Maybe it works for u~
(2) Exercise - I think this may work but u have to find motivation to do it!?haha...
(3) Eat - hmmmm....I think after you eat you may be awake for 5 mins then when you stop eating you want to sleep.
(4) Wash your face - works for a little while I guess
(5) Take a power nap - sometimes it works sometimes i just forget that i'm only suppose to nap!
(6) Eat something sour - doesn't work!It just makes me make funny expressions...



I don't know...I think once you pass your "sleepy threshold" it will be ok! Its funny our school work can make you tired so easily - I can easily last through the night talking, playing or watching shows...haha...Maybe you can tell me how to stay awake?

Remember the bird I wrote about some time back in my blog (I even think I put a pic up) guess what I saw today~ It and its baby!lol...

The purple flowers are out again...which means exams are coming soon..Not in full bloom yet so i guess its alright - mean I have some more time!haha...






Yes, I'm still alive and kickin'

Its the one week break for me~ Yeah!!! But assignments are here for me to do it!!!haha...

Tomorrow is inspection day at my house...You know the state of my room is not like very presentable. Hopefully they don't check the cupboards, I try to stuff inside you know!haha...Just like the good old days when my mum tells me to clean my room up. But she knows that I dump my stuff in the cupboard anyway!

Watched Infernal Affairs II today again, I totally love the Infernal affairs trilogy!!!I watched like each one more than 4 times and I always pick up something new!?lol...and I still can't really get who is the good or the bad or who is working for whom...Anyway really look forward to the Hollywood version of it "The Departed" which stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Matt Damon!I have seen the trailer, I don't think it will be as good (Ok I'm biased) but will be good anyway!haha....And you guys should watch out for this upcoming movie called "Borat" (Click here for the trailer) I think it will be funny!But I don't know...Like from the trailers I thought Nacho Libre will be funny, but it isn't very nice...

I'm going into rehab...See you later alligator!

To my crazy friend,Christine: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U!!!!!

(found this matchbox toys vending machine in the hospital~cool...i love children's hospital!)

Really happy today~!!!Went to Royal Children Hospital for my e-health prac which I think will be a total bore (ok sometimes it was) but overall it was so fun!!
Lots of cool gadgets - high tech stuff. Most of the rooms are probably worth more than me...haha...Met Harry the $250,000 dummy patient which is made so real. You can hear his heart sounds and stuff...another dummy model if you place your endoscope in the wrong place it will growl, yes it will.There were fake blood, medication all to stimualate real situations...Got to sit in telemedicine consultation for burns patients, really cool. The TV was cool 2 bravia plasma - sweet.

Then went to shop~!!haha...then went to _ _ _ _!!haha...

I'm pretty zonked for now!

Phrase of the day " _ _ _" - als (i'm not going to type it here...no buying of vowels please...its 3 chinese words!lol....)

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY HUIYING!!!!!!
誕生日おめでとう!!!!
축 생일!!!
生日快乐!!!
Buon compleanno!!!
Feliz aniversario!!

Huiying mentioned that my mandarin become worse...Yap and I attribute that to lack of Kbox sessions...haha...If i don't sing I don't get into contact with chinese words! EXCUSES ANDREA EXCUSES!haha...ok full blast "chinese tuition" in december please!

Finally we finish watching 惡作劇之吻!! hai...Just think ah jin quite pitiful~He waited for xiang qin for 5 years!OMG... The scene of him putting the wedding ring in the dessert reminds me of the article I read - about this guy who proposed to his girlfriend using a mahjong set: So ok other players knew about the plot and the mahjong have been carefully stacked such that the bride to be will receive the tiles that exactly say "Please marry me"haha...I'm sure when she saw the tiles she wasn't counting how much she will win~talk about proposals 101!

zhi shu and xiang qin's wedding is so funny~ CLICK HERE!


I think i shouldn't watch too much tv serials, i get too involved!I cry and laugh like nobody business...esp when i cry or i get so mad at some character in the show (esp those third party that have to come in the last few episodes - its so predictable but i just get so annoyed. I can happily skip all the miserable scenes and just go to where they get back together - thats the magic of watching on vcd/dvd!)als have to pull me back to reality "its only a show Andrea!" . I just think my central nervous system that controls my tear glands is made in Korea.

Now I can throw everything ANTE-NATAL, POST-NATAL, PRE-MENOPAUSAL, POST-MENOPAUSAL, PRE-PUBERTY & POST-PUBERTY out of my head! TEMPORARILY. Anyway hope everyone went well for the pracs!

I feel good today!!Had more than 24 hours of sleep over the weekend due to the cold i had!>-<> is sort of gone minus the cranky nose~And it was sunny today!

I have been looking for this photo of mine for so so long!Sheila and Sok yen!Your fav game!haha...I found this machine at Timezone Goldcoast~lol...

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY JOEL!!!

When jo was much younger!!haha...


Saturday, September 16, 2006

Meida and Pauline is at camp!!Hope they are having fun!So the rest of us had to do some groceries...lol...I think i'm pretty lost at it~!The veggies and fruits part!I don't have any idea how to choose apples and stuff! So I just chose the one that looks nice!?I mean that can't be too wrong right?haha...Then met Steve at Woolworths!didn't know he worked there and it was a nice surprise!haha...He knew his stuff well!yes and I promise a massage next time Steve!haha..

Joel is having pre-bday celebration!So fun!"Smelling" all the food over the phone almost made me salivate. ALMOST. Glad to hear everyone is doing fine!!!And whoever who is having exams and is feeling stressed over anything - BE STRONG!

Watched some Rugby league today,it has been so long since I watched some sports~Other than us open the other day...No cable tv quite sian~lol...Brisbane broncos won~Yeah!First time I actually watched them play some cool plays!

New boyband album today -
飛輪海 the songs are so boyband, gd for fun listening~lol...

Rainy day in brisbane again.




Friday, September 15, 2006

Now I have got temp orthotics for my feet~lol...it was funny with 2 people groping over my feet!lol...hopefully all will go well!

Was watching "er zuo ju zhi wen"(it started with a kiss) lol...so funny zhi shu and xiang qin was spending xmas together (this zhi shu dunno what he thinking, can't he just tell xiang qin he likes her instead of being so sarcastic to her all the time)

xiang qin gives zhi shu a book on HIPPOCRATES

Xiang qin: He is great, maybe someday you can be like him. Maybe you can meet him someday when he come to Taiwan.

Zhi shu: He is dead. He died in 377BC.

Xiang qin is so silly!haha...But then zhi shu actually gave her a cake (of course he didn't say its for her, he say its for the dog - but the dog had another piece)Both of them so funny!Alright..I better think what to have for dinner!!




Yes~I'm so excited about the upcoming IKEA Tampines - which is in Pasir Ris...I can actually walk there (ok maybe cycle) to have Swedish meatballs for lunch!yum!I'm sure it will be swarmed with schoolkids^^!haha...

I may be happier if they knock down White Sands and build something more substantial - like Tampines Mall ok but TM is only one stop away!So I don't think anyone will knock down WS in the near future~At least it has Mac + NTUC+Watson+Popular+Ya Kun+Old Chang Kee~!!

What grieves me most is the closing down of Kbox Tampines!!!Can anyone get back to me if they are opening in another location in Tamp??Maybe they should open one in Downtown East, convenient for me and I think maybe can make some money.But then again ppl go for chalet not to pay to stay in a room!!lol...I know they can make special chalets: "Kbox chalet - THE ULTIMATE SING WHILE U STAY EXPERIENCE" haha...Then u can have screens in every room even in the toilet, wireless mic so u can sing while u bbq, one mic for everyone so no excuses and no fighting and maybe make the wall soundproof in case yr neighbour can't sing!haha...and jacuzzi!ok thats out of point!But I don't think this will ever happen unless i own a chalet resort. That would be in Lala land!


Another gloomy day in Brisbane...Where are u my dear SUN!!!I don't know its just so wrong...Regardless its another FRIDAY!!Everyone is happy!(maybe except those who work on Saturday - but its half day only right!?

I miss taking pictures!cos I haven't been taking much lately~Hope to reach my 4000 photo soon!haha...I seriously need image stabilisation anyone want to trade yr panasonic fx-9 or the new Canons with IS with my fuji f11?I will throw in 10 free picture taking session with me!haha...Please leave yr contact number.

Nah...Other than the blurred image due to my shaky hands I love my f11, cos it takes gd pictures without flash at night!~Maybe I just am nt up to standard yet!

I'm going insane!


Thursday, September 14, 2006

Finally presentation is over!!!lol...And I submitted my e-health essay!Woopee!!!!Don't know why I'm not super happy, maybe becos of my Women's Health prac next week which I have no idea on~!!!

I finally went to see a physio on my leg prob!Got some taping done, seems to be effective!I will be off to see my dishy physio tomorrow again!!haha...
Some questions are troubling me and I sometimes wonder why my little brain can't work a little more effeciently in processing and not think of stupid stuff...Yap something is bugging me, but I can't tell u cos that defeats the purpose!lol...

Fabz still in prelim mode, good luck!And to my crazy sis, stay alive ya~!!!And aggie!!!don't be too stressed!don't forget to send me a mock invite!haha...
Ok i got to get on to my pregnancy studying!lol..will update photos soon!i hope!

Friday, September 08, 2006

The Westside post headlines almost read like this : "Cookie burns down Unit 77" haha...ok I'm exaggerating!

This was the culprit!

I even managed to get some comments from one victim.(To protect the identity of the victim, a smiley face was used. This is only for illustration purposes.)


Yap, don't heat up your cookie for 1 minute in the microwave~!Probably 10 seconds would be sufficient!Luckily everyone was efficient in "dispersing" the smoke by opening the doors and fanning the smoke detector before our body corporate come knocking on our doors with firemen!lol...Great excitement though!

Well, its another "HAPPY FRIDAY" as Rosie calls it!Yeah!~~But preparation for the upcoming presentation will have to be done!haha...Geez...

I hate to take pictures!But now I think i'm in love with photography!!haha...Well, managed to find some hard copy photos which I have now digitalised~haha....And I suddenly remembered about my lomo camera (anyone) have one of those?I remembered how crazy i was on getting one of those camera and just bugging my dad all day...And in the next few weeks, Tampines mall had a promotion giving away "lomo camera lookalike " if u spend more then a certain amount!haha..I think my dad was like "what the!?" But its not a lomo!I suddenly feel an urge to use it but its in SG!!haha...but the manual winding and loading negatives are tiring!

Walked quite a bit today, trying to rehab my ankle!>-< Please get well soon!My arm feels better after I self massage and do some exercises for it!haha...Ok I'm just still amazed that I'm 21 who is starting to have body of a 50 year old.

When I was going to boil fettucini - I took the kettle and spilled some boiling water on my feet!haha...Was given all sorts of ideas from colgate to running my feet under cold water!I did the cold water thing but not the colgate one, I think my feet doesn't need 12 hours of freshness~

Finally youtube approved my videos from Riverfire '06 and here they are!Sorry, that it seems blurred, i think you tube have to adjust the size!haha...

WARNING:You may feel nausea while or after watching the video clips please have a paper bag ready. Click on the links below!

Steve Irwin's death shocked Australia today...Its really ironic that his death was caused by a stingray barb...

Let's have a moment of silence for him.

My goals for the rest of the year:

(1)Breathe less
(2)Take the stairs instead of the lift
(3)Reduction in the number of times I open the fridge
(4)Plant more plants
(5)Eat less vegetables

Well I can't think of others yet!But I must save the other iceblocks from melting!Reduce Carbon dioxide level!I have gone all crazy.Just watched the movie or rather documentary "An inconvenient truth". I thought it was a good movie!I think I like this kind of "real story". I guess you guess should watch it cos its so real, but u may fall asleep if you don't really like geography at all or you can't even sit still without reaching for your remote if National geographic come on...It was a little bit of "the biography of Al Gore" but he was pretty gd speaker!You guys should check www.climatecrisis.com when u have the time ok?Oh no..I guess their media advertising is working cos they told me to spread the word and thats what i'm doing...I don't want to live in Underwater World or have Hurricane Huihui (I saw one hurricane called Tingting just now haha...)visiting me soon so please play a part!

Another weekend is gone! >-<




Look at the amount of strawberries Meida and Pauline bought from the market!!!hahaa....So many boxes!









Riverfestival has started!!!First there were some aeroplane displays which was quite cool!haha...hmmm...there was then the FIREWORKS! So cool!There were heart shape ones!Very nice! I like the coulourful ones and the ones from the bridge and the ones from the buildings...Ohhh..I think I like all of them!haha...My fireworks photo taking skills are still so bad!haha...It was so crowded!!!Will upload the videos soon!

Oh check out the pics - that is part of my room when i was having exams!!haha...so messy that Meida can't vaccum!Good its all over...I can live for a few days!Next I will have my Woman's health prac exam haha...which has a pregnancy component - its going to be hilarious!haha...teaching u "try to stop yourself midstream (while peeing)" and also the ever so useful defaecation position!

I can't believe that I arranged my driving lesson for 7.30am tomorrow, since my usual afternoon slot was not available!Hope I can wake up - The words "rest, revive, survive" always shown on motorways just pop into my head!


Good Luck to my brother for his tennis tournament next week!Watch the US Open for inspiration!Go Safin!!They used to show it here on channel 9!But I don't see it in the TV guide~hmm....
