hey..

if your worrying about my 1st day of school. It was GREAT! Had lectures from 9 to 5pm. I think my units are quite challenging, but that's okay, at least I know I'm gonna learn something. =) I think i'm not used to the weather here, I keep getting hungry. I went swimming today so I deserve to eat! wheee!

i took a handwriting test.. and the analysis goes..


For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Splitchick has left lots of white space on the all four borders of the paper. Splitchick fills up just the center area of the page. If this is true, then Splitchick has a particular shyness toward people and a fear of moving too fast in any direction. In some cultures, respecting people, rules, and adhering to protocol are ways of life. The right side of the page represents the future and the left side represents the past. Splitchick seems a bit stuck in the middle, afraid to take action. Splitchick seems to have a fear of looking bad or of crossing boundries. It will be easy to work with Splitchick on a team, because Splitchick will usually follow the rules. However, this desire to respect the boundries can often be construed as a lack of confidence and people will walk over Splitchick if she is not careful.


Splitchick has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.





Splitchick's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Splitchick that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Splitchick also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Splitchick is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Splitchick's self-concept is artificially low. Splitchick will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Splitchick to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Splitchick is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.


Because Splitchick has sharp needle pointed 'm' and 'n' humps, she has a very sharp mind. She instantly sizes up situations, making instant decisions. She thinks and evaluates circumstances very rapidly. Many people with this type of mind are geniuses, thus she may be seen as highly intelligent. Splitchick is often irritated by slow talkers or slow thinkers. If she drives, she gets irritated by slow drivers in the fast lane. She quickly becomes bored when being taught on the level of the slowest student in class. She may be on problem number three when the rest of the class is on problem one. Splitchick is curious and very active. In fact, in school she might have been a trouble maker because she thought so much faster than the other kids, she finished her work first, thus having plenty of time on her hands to make trouble!


Splitchick has an over-awareness of self. She often feels self-conscious. She fears ridicule, therefore she is careful not to place herself in a position to receive any ridicule. She wonders what people will think if she acts in a certain manner. When encountering a new group of people, Splitchick may stay on the sidelines until she has the people categorized, or she may behave in a "positive attention getting" manner to assure people think good thoughts about her from the start. In the sales profession, this self-consciousness is called "call reluctance". They take the word "no" as a personal criticism. Therefore, there is an internal struggle when performing this type of work. Although this person may be a great salesperson, she still feels insecurity. She will perform better if someone else is with her because the fear of ridicule from her peers is far greater than the fear of ridicule from her clients. Many times this type of person becomes a sales trainer, because when she is training, she doesn't have to put herself in a position of being told "no" as often as the salesmen do.


Splitchick will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!


Splitchick will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Splitchick believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.


Splitchick uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Splitchick does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Splitchick will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally. Splitchick is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"


People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Splitchick doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.


Splitchick can be defiant. She sometimes has the attitude that if someone doesn't like it the way she is doing it, then they can just "go to hell!" This trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which she thinks are infringing upon her freedom of action.

One week of orientation has finally come to an end.

Perth is after all, not such a boring place
just that life isn't easier here..

like I have so many things to do independently,
catching insects by myself for such.

And seriously, I admit i was a spoilt brattt.
But now, I'm making my bed,
washing/ironing my clothes,
buying clothes,
saving money,
boiling water,
vacuuming the carpet,
making barley drinks,
waking up early for breakfast
without anyone nagging at me. hahaha.
i'm a big kid now!

Over here at St Cat's, we had cocktail party on monday where everyone wore a dress except yours truly and friend, because I didn't have one. The mocktails were really nice and colourful and the games we played.. I won! haha. so it's fun la..

On tuesday, did my enrolment.. was a chore.. they gave us like 16 choices of tutorial timings to choose from.. and you have to rank your likes to fit into your timetable. So imagine doing that for all your subjects. Too many choices is no good after all ay. Late in the night, we had combat training... think camoflage, think race, think walking 7km.. late in the night at king's park.

on wed, I went shopping at belmont forum, bought a sequin skirt abercrombie lookalike for only $16.50, good deal huh? heex! oh! their tubes and tops are especially long like until your butt. i wonder why.

on thurs, late night shopping at the suburbs - garden city. Met mel and friends there. And I had a good deal on smith's chips. haha. usual price $3.50, I got it at $2.00. haha. Oh, in order to conform to the dress code for the next cocktail party next month, I bought a nice dress in rich blue. heeex! =)

on fri, I went to Fremantle prison torchlight tour in the evening, exciting but ehh, i'm not going there again.. heh.

on sat, I went supre at osborne park with nic, and bought like hehe, 4 pretty pretty tops and a nice pair of capris for only $28. Good deal huh. hahaha. you can never find prices like these in spore. But this is as good as it gets.

I cant wait for school to start and then it's time to save up. I'm going to church tmr.. faith methodist 13:30.

oh yah, can someone tell me what to do when I get a headache?
and does drying clothes in the room makes you fall sick?
and how to remove the stain on the shirt that was caused by a 'lark sek' tee?

At the pinnacles..

The pinnacles is place where you can learn how to appreciate the rocks.. but oh wells, all looks the same to me.. haha.


This is the sand dunes a.k.a big foot..

The oversize truck that carried us thru the desert.. to the other side where I got to learn sand boarding!! wheeeeee..

oh.. I've got the video of me sand boarding.. but I dunno how to put it up on the blog. haha.


That's me, the first one.. trying to climb up the hill made off sand.. If every step I take, I kept slipping down and the sand blew towards me like a tornado..

Block the sand.. block the sand... it's blowing to my ears, my eyes and it's really tiring.. For a minute of thrill... a few moments of torture. haha.


After finally getting up on the hill... I'm too tired to walk that I couldn't walk in a straight line.. haha. that's how tiring it got.

I will look forward to crabbing in march, to eating timtams, to meeting new friends, to getting good grades, to decorating my room, to seeing all of you once again in july. It's not a sad world. Someone once told me, In life, there are many sad days and also many happy ones. but do you know that the happy ones outnumbers the sad?

My Joy...
I wanna be lost in Your beauty.
Caught up in the wonder of Your touch.
For You are my one and only
You are everywhere I go
And I am not alone.
You are holy
I fall down on my knees.
I surrender to Your grace.
I can feel Your presence.

Thank You, Father
for my wonderful friends.
my friends keep me sane.
they help you keep me safe from this crazy world.
Bless them with your wonderous love and grace and mercy.

Don't you feel that when your enjoying yourself, time passes really fast?

Been meeting up with my pals the past week, till my mum commented "before you go aussie, you already weigh heavier." but hey, I'm enjoying myself and in fact, I lost a few kilos having eating so much lunch, dinner and supper. *pat*


These are the poloraids taken during the past few days...

and some photos here.. which is currently one.. haha. photos upload another time..

met up with chriss and na* for NYDC dessert!

Today, an awesome day, I didn't expect anything altho I can't really feel that I'm leaving soon. But ya, it's a wakeup call i guess that everyone is asking if i'm ready to leave, all packed? hmmm.. I'm not sure.

By faith, yes, everything is settled. So I guess it's settled. But i'm sure to miss my lovely friends esp. both my cell group Shalom and Unleaven Bread. It has been really great and memorable time spent serving the Lord with you guys. You made it all worthwhile and you made it so much enjoyable and fun. The smiles, the grins, the laughter, the naggings, the tying times, the supper, the luncheons, the stayovers, the pictures, the childhood, the pain of growing up... you made it all so much easier. I love you all. Thank you for being a really great buddy in times of need and just complementing me. Yay! We complement each other so much that we'll defintely stay together always.

The surprise that caught me off guard cuz I couldn't flush the toilet.. rawr! all to the switch button that samuel played on me. but thanks ya. so paiseh but i leanrt something new today.. haha.

okie.. obviously the picture doesn't do justice to all the lovely presents from my lovely friends.

It's really nice having you guys in my life. really! I mean that's what cell is for right but this is the season that it starts to dawn on me that cell is really really important cause they can do sooooooo much together, i'm so glad i'm in the same cell as you and I mean Darren, ting, char, zhi, hohon, samuel, bryan, chuili my onion, esta, joy, jo, loo, evelyn, peilee, jolyn, ina, theo, abi.. (whom i haven't seen for a while.. but yah, thank you!)

I will cherish all of you and I will defintely come backkkkkk.. I mean you gave me like soooooo many reasons in the little book of memories to come back. So obviously, I'll be backkk. just wait. haha. and i'll bring back __________ for you.

{.Your love is extravagant.}




Today I bought my kacheek a house. haha.

I met sel for lunch, as usual, she overslept so in the end, we didn't manage to have lunch at TP. perhaps another time.

Then bought cocktail sausages and some he tiao, those triangle stuff, fishball like on the outside, meat on the inside. heh.

Then I bought my stationery. Yay! which is like hell expensive. I would have eaten some good food with that money spent on pens.

Then I bought the plugs. hahaha. I am ready to go.all over the world. haha. The salesman told us something really funny. The voltage in different countries really matter like for example Canada the voltage is 100v while singapore is 220-240v. So if you bring singapore laptop to Canada to use, cannot start. But if you bring canadian laptop to Singapore to use, it will get burnt. haha.

Ohh, here's something funny. A man walked into a bar. Ouch.

heh..

Oh.. I made copies of my extremely nice passport photo. haha. yay.

And steamboat & tepanyaki with the girls over at my place just ended. The beef and bacon was just awesome. Yepps. it's really great having you guys over, and we'll defintely meet up and keep in touch. =)

my stomach feeling queasy.. time for some magnesium milk, NOT!

{.Your love is extravagant.}

{.Your love is extravagant.}




Everytime I wanna exercise, my stomach aches abit. I've stopped taking my medicine already. heh. but I really wanna jog. hmph!

Today's the start of what I call the post CNY, yummilicious session! Wheee!
I went for a hair cut. It's easier to manage now, lighter, and still highlighted and shorter. =)

In preparation for the trip, I think i'm packed but the little stuff like the receipet for my laptop I have to find, and the reprinting of my passport photos, and the haha. i need to design my room to make it look comfy so i'm bringing alot of decor stuff. it's gonna be so cosy that even you wanna leave home to stay with me. grin*

I had dinner with Chuili where we were dressed up and all ready for BEEF at Long bar steakhouse, Raffles Hotel. The beef is super 'pang pang'. served on a rather big hotplate which made the 300g of steak look so pathetic. haha. But the beef is super nice and yummy and it is served with beehoon and some veg and black peppercorn sauce. Then we had the Dilly bread, which Chuili loves.. It has onion flakes in it. stylo right. They served the bread together with pickles and butter and its recipe. haha.

After the sumptous dinner, we went to menotii for desert, we shared a warm chocolate cake and a Shirley Tample which apparently came twice and one was sorta free cuz something happen. heh.

Thereafter, kuan brought me out for douhua youtiao at geylang. I think I'll miss that.. Yepp, and many others.. like SOba!!! hahaha.

I'm excited! totally. heh.

{.Your love is extravagant.}




Not a good day..
but perhaps I could learn something about it.

No more uncooked or half-cooked food for the time being.
No more fried and oily snacks.
steamboat & champagne is a no go.

I had fun at yk's place watching the Australian open for tennis. I love the sky blue dress that Maria Shaparova was wearing. But apprently, I prefer Hen, her opponent who seemed to be in better condition then her. But Sha's serves are really nice.

Then went over to evelyn's house for a mini gathering. We watched initial D (again!) and mean girls. haha. it's a funny show. But wait till you catch Eurotrip. Whaaa.. I love the robotic fight right there on the streets of rome. rawks!

I had apprently quite an expensive meal of 1 peice of KFC chicken which cost $6.
Zhi is a very good boy! Because he gave me a ride! to his house, of which I took a cab and then yk's car and I landed up at the CGH.

i'm suffering.from.gastric flu.

can someone please tell me the preventions of it?
I never want to. ever again. drink that gooey magnesium milk. and it's accomplice.

but.. looks like I have a bottle of it to finish. till then, wish me God's grace to have the courage to eat.

except. for soba. heh.
