I had Korean steamboat for the first time today. It was really yummy!! We had to wait ages though and were bitching about it.. We didn't realise that the owner was sitting at the table next to ours and when we paid for the bill he didn't charge us for entree so instead of paying about $30 he only charged us $20 =). How awesome!! It was pretty nice though.. The soups really yummy ^^ Will go again sometime for sure.. It would be really nice to eat on a really cold winter night ^^! Yum yum in my tum XD

Ermm also went to Garbo today.. Went shopping and didn't buy myself anything. I bought Soon some PJ's at Peter Alexander though.. It's his anniversary present. I was going to buy him the shoes but they're a bit steep for someone who isn't working.. It was funny though because he was looking at them in Live and I still wasn't sure if I was going to buy them for him so I lied to him and said they were sooo ugly XD XD!! Well in the end I just bought him PJs.. so yeah it's all good lol.

Watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 today.. It was actually not that good.. well compared to the first two anyway. I don't know I felt it was lacking something.. I think that the first two were much better ^^ I'm not sure why but I think I liked the 2nd one best.. The movie just seemed to move so seamlessly in that one.. I didn't feel like I had been sitting in the cinema for about 3 hours.. but this third one.. my gosh I felt like it was going on forever (even though it wasn't too bad). I mean compared to a lot of other movies it would probably be really good.. but compared to the other 2.. it was just.. average.

I have no more rabbits now :/. My rabbit escaped from it's cage last night and ran away.. Well she didn't get far because I found her under a table we have outside.. and she was dead. So sad :/.. So now I don't have anymore rabbits. RIP Bunnies T_T~~

Anyway enough of my chitchat.. Sleep time..

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I CAN GO TO SINGAPORE FOR ABOUT 360$!!!!! OMGGGG I WANNA GOOOOOO !!! WHO WANTS TO GO WITH MEE?? :O!!!! [During uni break!]

OMG!!

YAY JUST TWO MORE DAYS AND IT'LL BE ALL OVER!!! =)!! WOOHOOO!! CAN'T WAIT!! [despite the fact I have an assignment due right after...!! :/].

Yesterday my sisters and I took my mummy to go eat at the Hyatt for dinner for mothers day. It was pretty nice - much better then Atrium in Burswood.. It wasn't all that busy too [surprisingly] but the food was really nice. I couldn't stop eating the fresh Salmon!! It was really nice and fresh~ They also had this guy near the cold food that was making 2 dishes. There was a Beef Rendang and Salmon and cucumber.. it was soo nice XD!! MmM Salmon.. XD! If anyone wants to go but are feeling stingy just go for lunch time xD It's only about 30 something a person if you go for lunch during the weekday and if you have entertainment card it costs even less!! XD.

Since there were 7 of us [would have been 8 if Sonia had gone) we divided the bill among us kiddies to pay for mum and dad. It turned out to be pretty cheap. We paid $52.60 each after dividing the total. We got about $80+ discount with our entertainment cards [there were 3 entertainment cards] without discount we would have had to pay way more each about $70ish!!! I love my entertainment card :D . Saved soo much by buying it!

I can 't wait til the end of this week - pracs will be finished!! The relief teacher I've got is super nice and super outgoing.. but still will be VERY relieved once the weeks finished. Lots of lesson planning to do ><~~~ ahh.. So draining.

I think next weekend I want to go somewhere really nice and relaxing to celebrate the end of my pracs for the year [and hopefully the success!!!]. Soon's been a darl and gave me a massage [foot and back] the other day! My feet felt soo much better after it. It was hurting and sore like heck before.

Oh not sure if I mentioned it earlier but Soon got me a brand new spanking computer!! Haven't gotten it up and running yet though because I don't want to be distracted by it when I'm on pracs. Can't wait til I get to use it though!! Using a computer that doesn't lag will be veryyy nice XD Not to mention being able to play the sims2 again!! HEHE :D Can't wait, can't wait :D :D.

Anyway suppose I better go learn about the rainforest food web now for tomorrows lesson XD.

I've been really blessed this semester. I have the nicest teacher for my pracs; she has been really helpful and has repaired what was damaged last year. She has pointed me in all the right directions and I feel really thankful that I've got someone who understands that I'm still learning. I won't be having her next week though because she's got a week off (to look after her husband) so I really hope that the relief teacher that's coming to replace her will be really nice and helpful too.

I've learnt a lot during these pracs; I've learnt the power of the reward system and how hard kids strive to make sure that they're always well behaved. I've decided I'm going to reward all of them on my last day with chocolate or something small -- they deserve it really.

I've mellowed out quite a bit. I was really nervous about everything before but I actually feel a little bit better now. Despite the fact that my science lesson went totally CRAP today and my reading lesson could have been better I really think that I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I still hate lesson planning - it really does take too ridiculously long.

There's a teacher assistant in our class - actually there is quite a few of them in the school. I've been thinking that after I graduate I might go back to TAFE and study some of that too.. I know it sounds kind of strange but I think the skills you gain from being a teacher assistant is really important and plus I think it would work better for me to be a teacher assistant first before becoming a teacher. I need the experience of working with children everyday before I can become a really good teacher and I've really come to realise that in the past week. I also want to look into helping students with special needs because I personally find it difficult right now teaching these students.

I hope that I'll improve over the next week and that I pass my pracs with flying colours. I need to really work hard... no fun time for juju! I've developed a bit of a headache this past week [I think it's related to stress] and I've noticed I always need to sleep when I get home.. I actually kept falling asleep on the bus the other day - I tried really hard to stay awake but I kept nodding off.. I probably looked really weird lol.

Apart from pracs not much has been happening in my life. Sunday is mother's day. My sisters and I are taking my parents to Hyatt Hotel to eat dinner.. I've been looking for a nice set of drink coasters and also placemats but the only one's I've found are really ugly :\.

Anyway that's it from me for now :D

I can't win with you.

It's either you're tired or it's a waste.

I think this situation has made me realise I need to get my license really REALLY SOON!!! OMG I AM SO FREAKEN EMBARRASSED !!! I go to my allocated primary school every Monday [next week will be the start of the full on pracs where I go everyday] and I was going to do the same again today.. but OMG MISSED MY BUS!!! I AM SOOO EMBARRASSED :(!! Missing the bus from my house to South St somewhere makes me miss my second bus which takes me to the school My second bus comes only a few minutes after my first bus arrives at that stop.. so if my bus is late or if I miss it then I have to take another bus to school which makes me late because I have to walk futhur :T.. FREAKEN SO EMBARRASSED . I waited for that bus for over 20 minutes!! I don't know if it came really early or if it was really late (because I always get to my bus 10 minutes stop early)So I call my teacher and she doesn't pick up.. so I messaged her.. and told her what happened.. she must think I'm a freaken idiot ><;;!! Anyway she said it's okay and that I can come in another day to make up for it. I feel really awful because the other week I went to school and I ended up being sick and she sent me home. I'm just so thankful shes really nice. I really have to make it up to her somehow!! I think I'll buy her a nice little present before I finish my pracs.

I am so embarrassed.

So in the past few days a bunch of old primary school friends added me to their "myspace".. it seems like such a long time ago that I saw a lot of them and it started to bring back so many memories of when I was in primary school. I started looking for my year7 "yearbook" and my gosh.. when I found it I felt like BAWLING.. Suzanne had written in it under favourite memories "being friends with June".. omg made me really want to cry.. I don't remember her writing that in the yearbook.. but omg.. how sweet of her.. I really miss her now T_T.. Haven't seen her since high school.. her email address doesn't work anymore.. so it's hard :T.. I remember when Suzanne first came to Noranda.. She was really shy and quiet.. I remember befriending her.. I remember hanging out a lot and being sad when we were in different classes.. I was reading through the book and I wondered.. did any of these people achieve what they wanted? Are they where they wanted to be at the time now ? I know a few of us have made it and I know that at the same time many of us did not. Funnily enough I don't EVER remember writing that I wanted to be a fashion designer and be making and designing clothes... lol how naive of me.. haha xD.

So many memories of primary school.. I remember being one of the only Asian kids are primary school.. there were hardly any.. I remember this guy [won't mention any names but he was one of the few Asian guys] tried to kiss me in year 2 when someone was telling their "news".. I remember being the only Asian girl [until Patricia came along in year 4 or something] I had a tough time understanding why my parents treated me so differently from my friends. I also remember the guys all the girls had a crush on and me pretending to have crushes on guys at school so I wasn't left out.. Seems silly now because we were just a bunch of kids.. but I still remember.. And I remember the times we were so immature about certain words and how we use to giggle away in class. I remember all my teachers.. From Mrs. Anton to Mr. Brackenreg.

I remember so many things and at times like this I really miss everyone. I miss all the people I've met through out the years..

I look at the yearbook now and think how much we've all grown up...

Time realy does fly.

I've been really lazy lately. Haven't touched my books in such a long time..

I've been really unmotivated to study or do anything uni related lately. I think I'm just really sick of studying. I just want to go out and get a job and make heaps of money. I've been leaving assignments til the very last minute and sometimes even getting extensions for my assignments because I was too lazy to do it.. So bad I know :T.

I have to go to teach again tomorrow. I have to teach Mental Maths and not in the traditional sense where the teacher calls out a bunch of questions and the kids write it down on paper. I have to get the kids to really think about the process they're using to come to the answer rather than what the answer is.. I really need to make my lesson plan.

Maybe it's just the fact that I'm so bored with uni right now that makes me so unmotivated. All the units I'm taking are so drab.. I thought Philosophy would be fun to do.. but it's proving to be more nerving than my core units.. :T dagnamit. I've got so many assignments due.. but soo little motivation to do them. I need to strand myself somewhere I can't get distracted too easily so that I will do them.. :T..

First day of pracs.. I'm SO NERVOUS!! Even if it is ONLY observation today.. I'm so nervous!! I'm afraid of what happened last year.. that I'll get a nasty supervisor and a mean teacher (that said the c word in front of a bunch of year 6 kids!!).

Lee when do you have uni? I need to seriously get my jacket off you.. T_T I might need it for pracs (I'm really low on appropriate clothing for pracs..).

I really hope the teacher is nice and really helpful... I'm sure the children will be lovely.. But for some reason I have a really uneasy feeling about this.. maybe I'm just super nervous?

Have to lose 5kg. I've stacked on too much weight. Anyone have any tips?

Sometimes life is so suffocating.

Soon bought a Wii on Friday night... OMFG IT IS AWESOME!! HAHA!! I'm really uncoordinated at playing it but dang! It's freaken fun XD!!! So there are NO nunchucks ANYWHERE left in Perth; we ordered one at EB and man remotes and stuff for the Wii are expensive.. I guess because the console itself is pretty cheap. But yeah.. OMG have to WAIT for another nunchuck so we can play really cool games like Rayman =D. Rayman is freaken awesome - went to Justins to play it - although I'm REALLY bad at it.. haha xD.. it's sooo cute though.. all those little rabbits >.

So I haven't been having much luck with my electronics lately. My computer has broken yet again; despite the fact I just fixed it.. but luckily this time I already burnt off everything I wanted. My phone is somewhat broken but I'm not too worried about it because I think three will give me a new phone soon (I just need to remember what I made my pin...). My mp3 player is also broken.. this one I can say was definitely my fault; I dropped it on my way to uni last week.. ah my bad T_T..

I was really lazy and skipped uni today. Actually I have a really sore throat so it would have been pretty useless going anyway since I can't talk all that much. I decided to become an external student for EDU231 since the unit was such a waste of time.. it turns out the assignments look a lot nicer externally then internally.. well the lack of oral presentation does anyway =P. This will be my first unit that I'm doing externally so hopefully I'll be able to keep on top of things.

So I talked to Sumie last night. She was telling me about my old workplace (at the souvenir shop).. she said that a lot of people are quitting because my ex boss is such a bitch and a few more have been fired; she fired Andy and then rehired him again because she was in a really bad mood... if I were him I would have said to shove the job up her ass because quite frankly I would not tolerate her B***s*** any longer.. Oh and apparently people have been getting their pays cut too.. from $18 to $14! So not working there if you only get paid $18 an hour.. I mean to tolerate the absolute shiet.. definitely not worth it!! I'm really glad I don't work there anymore because I don't know what kind of bitchy/miserable person I would have become.

Life is somewhat dull for me these days.. Having no money is a killer (considering I love to shop) and I feel pretty guilty everytime Soon gives me money for things (or pays off my credit card for that matter :s). Oh and what has been with the weather lately? I was actually quite enjoying the wet weather we had when BAM! it's all sunny and freaken 40 degrees :| Isn't Summer suppose to be over already? T_T I miss winter and I miss the cold.. T_T

So I was reading some of my past entries and I was kind of surprised that there actually aren't that many entries. I remember back when I use to blog on xanga.. I use to freaken write like essays about my life and everything back then.. not to mentioned I use to update ALL the time too.. I guess I was doing more things back then... and not to mention I use to probably think alot more back then (these days I'm way too lazy :x I should really write more.. It helps unclear the mind.

Lately I've been getting the most annoying feeling.. I've been so unmotivated to do anything.. I've stopped caring about so many things I use to care about. I really want to know what happened that made me feel so unmotivated all of a sudden.. it's really bumming me out =/. Not just that but sometimes I think I'm lacking something in my life.. but then I ask myself what I could possibly be lacking.. Although I'm lacking money right now I don't think that's what the problem is.. I feel like crying for help at random times.. but then I think how can I cry for help when I don't know what I need help with?? Sometimes I think I need to become more active in my life.. e.g. join a club or organisation but there isn't one that I feel like I really belong to. Whatever the case I hope this feeling blows away really soon. I'm really hoping it's temporary and that I'll be back on track again shortly.

My throat is hurting like crazy right now =( think I'm going to try and attempt to sleep it off.. Though I should probably get some study done first.. AhhH.

I finally caught up with Shirley today. It turns out that we both finish the same time on Thursdays; so yeah =). We went to the city because Shirley needed a haircut... well we turned out having a really random time.. lol.

After walking around looking at hairdressing places (and hair etc was closed!!) we decided to head to the Moon Cafe to go eat. On our way there we passed a new place called Icey Ice.. Actually I only noticed it because it had a really cute penguin on its sign.. haha XD anyway.. I always walked past Moon Cafe thinking it was a really interesting looking place and was probably expensive.. but as it turned out we got there in time for lunch specials!!! We had pasta + glass of wine OR soft drink for only $9.95!!! What an awesome bargain!! The food was good too.. and REALLY filling... definitely worth what we paid for it. I quite liked the inside too.. quite retro.. my only regret is that I didn't bring my camera with me today!!

Anyway after we finished lunch/dinner we decided to go to Icey Ice.. we were kind of hesitant to eat any of it because we were so stuffed from eating pasta.. but I decided to go for it anyway.. the Mango Ice poster looked soooo tempting... So yeah I bought Mango Ice flavour.. it cost $3.50 for a kids sized one and another $1.50 for the actual mango pieces.. I thought it would come out really small like how when you pay $3.50 for ice cream.. but apparently not!! So much for KIDS sized.. Shirley and I ended up sharing... thankfully it isn't very filling.. it's SOO YUMMY though!! It was really soft, wasn't too sweet, really nice texture etc etc. Apparently this dessert was voted as one of the favourites in Japan last year in Winter.. and this is the first of its kind if all of Australia. So I recommend everyone go!! It's really nice.. AND because it's new.. starting from tomorrow they are giving the first 88 icey ice (regular sized) out for free everyday for the next 2 weeks! WOOTT!! Of course there's a limit of one per customer.. lol. I'm hoping to go there and scam some for free :D.. It's good stuff. OH and if anyone is wondering it's on William St in Northbridge. It's where they have all those new buildings. Anyway below are some random pictures I took of my Icey Ice and some of the posters they had on the wall..


Hmm another good thing happened today... FREE LIPTON ICE TEA!! WOOOOT!! Haha. They were giving bottles of it away at the train station.. Shirley and I managed to scab about 10 altogether.. haha.. SUCH ASIANS we are =P

On our way home on the train.. some random Aboriginals came on and started talking about really weird things.. they were talking REALLY loud and said things about Osama Bin Laden and terrorist related things happened because God intended for it to happen and they started crapping on about how we live in a devil's world because money is evil.. THEN they shouted that all the white people on the train thought they were better then them and all this bs.. really strange.. yet very entertaining haha.. Damn weird randoms.. lol =P

Uni wasn't too bad this week.. Quite like my philosophy class (Film and Philosophy).. we watched Matrix 3 in it.. although the movie is quite boring the philosophy coming from it is quite interesting.. however they did not really need to fight for that long at the end to get the point across -_-;. One of my units... EDU231 or whatever it's called.. OMG IT'S SO BS!!! The unit coordinator craps on about nothing and I spent 2 hrs in the lecture listening to him going on about BS.. on the bright side.. at least we get to see our exam papers before we get to sit them?? So really I only need to worry about one subject... Curriculum Mathematics.. UGH!! The assignments for it are absolutely hideous.. I don't even want to begin... >.< I need to start cracking down on my texts.. I really wanted to spend tomorrow doing the readings we were suppose to do for this week.. but unfortunately the bookshop was out of stock for some books -_- Stupid bookshop UGH!

On another note.. I start my pracs on the 19th of March.. not sure what school I'm going to yet.. but yeah we go for once a week for 5 weeks and then we go on pracs for 2 full on weeks.. Hopefully this years pracs will go a lot more smoothly than last years one.. Hopefully I'll be placed at Excelsior Primary School again too..

Anyhoo.. That's enough from me for now.. Toodaloo people =)

So January has been a pretty hectic month.. It appears to be everyones birthdays.. lots of birthdays + no money = not good. My youngest sister finally turned 18 and I finally turned 21. It's been quite expensive this past week. For Sonia's birthday we went on a wine cruise that cost us about 78$ per person.. youch.. I didn't really know what to buy her so I got her a really cute black bag and some white slippers that I keep stacking it in =/. We also took Sonia down to the Casino.. she was so excited about using her ID for the first time it was kind of amusing.. Sonia and Lee lost about $15 on the damn money wheel... DAMN YOU CHERRIES!!

For my actual birthday we went to Hana BBQ which is all you can eat Korean BBQ.. MmMm.. BBQ goodness.. Since we had nothing to do at night.. we decided to go to Karaoke (actually we tried going Karaoke on Sonia's bday too but it was closed haha). We invited a bunch of random people.. it was a pretty small group.. Haven't karaoke'd in ages so it was quite.. hmm.. fun? XD . It was really good (both the cruise and all you can eat :D). Since my birthday was on a Wednesday this year Mengo and I held a joint BBQ/Beach bash on Saturday.. all in all I'd say it was a pretty successful day except for the fact that poor Soon, Kym and Paul slaved over the bbq.. so sorry guys... >.< THANKS A BUNCH FOR IT THOUGH =). Need to scab photos of Mengo and Kym from the BBQ since I was way too lazy to bring my camera to take photos.. heehehe..

So much stuff has happened in January.. it's been a really crazy month. Oh I don't have a job anymore.. once again I'm jobless. I couldn't stand my boss. God she was a freaken bitch!@#)_*##&#)$@!. Now I'm quite poor.. so hopefully I'll be able to find a way better job sometime soon to fund my forever growing need to shop.

Since the roadtrip I've been gaining so much effen weight. It's really not fair T_T. I need to start going jogging with Milo again because seriously the stomach isn't looking too good ;_;. I guess now I have a lot of free time it won't be so bad to go jogging.

I finally worked out my uni timetable. I think I might be a little overloaded this semester.. but I'm hoping that I can handle it. I've decided to do a Philosophy unit for my elective.. hopefully I'll be able to hack it.. haha XD.. damn have to be less lazy this year.. did so bad last year.. have to make up for it T_T. Luckily for my I only have to go to uni twice a week this semester. Wednesdays are pretty full on though 8:30am-5:30pm with an hr break somewhere in between.. ah well. Thursdays are only half days so they're not too bad..

I'm not getting anywhere with my driving lessons. I'm too poor to pay for lessons from my instructor and I don't want to tell my parents because they'll have a go at me for spending all my money. Dad took me for a drive the other day. Dang.. my car's clutch is so light it's scary! I think Dad think's I'm a terrible driver but hey we all have to go through this at some stage don't we??

Huh.. anyway I think I've written a whole lot of random junk in this entry. I'll upload some photos from the BBQ on Saturday when I get them off Kym and Meng..

Can't believe I'm 21.. I'm getting oldd~!!

Can't believe it's a new year already. Hoping that this year will rock a lot more than last year did.. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and partied hard for new years.. =)

Having no computer surely sucks.

I've been quite the social butterfly this week. Really need to update this thing sometime soon. I haven't had time because I wake up early.. go out and don't come home til really late (1-3amish).

What I've done this week; more details later.
Mon: Nicholsons/Pictionary
Tues: Dara's house
Weds: Karaoke/dinner/clubbing (at Margos)
Thurs: Went shopping with Brendan for Fishies and something else I can't remember.. but I'm sure I did something >.<
Fri: Shopping with Angela/Poker night.

I am soo so tired.. lol =(. Work today and maybe clubbing later tonight? I don't know if I'm up for it.. but people won't stop asking me to go.. Don't know if I want to bump into my ex there either.. goddamn stalker.

Haven't been eating properly. People are starting to call me anorexic =(.. but I'm not!! I just don't have much of an appetite these days. I'm making up for the amount of eating I did during winter. lol.

Tired. I'll be so dead after next week!! Hopefully I'll catch up on sleep tomorrow before I go on my trip~ YAY can't wait =)

Screw you. What thinks you can just go around treating people like that?
