cambodia was s-w-e-e-t*
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
it was the
perfect dose for getting away from civilisation (okay, maybe
TOPP will be just as good. *wink*), but i was
constantly waking up early in the morning, climbing temples and snapping away 1000s of photos everywhere i went.the first day started off pretty hilarious. the trip from
sg to siam reap takes only abt
2 hrs and 10 mins. however, we ended up at siam reap travelling for
5 hours, stopping by
vietnam and without even realizing,
we got down and ALMOST missed the flight to siam reap. by the time we arrived it was about 7, so we were exhausted till the next day.
pictures speak louder than words, so... here goes! 
we watched the sunrise at 6 in the morning while climbing up to the foothill of a mountain at 5.30 am.
then we headed off to see
angkor wat!
next, we went to see the Bayon temple, Angkor Thom which has a total of more than 500 different faces with different expressions. but they all look the same to me though.
...then we headed off to Ta Phrohm.
and on the last day, we went to the
Pink Temple which were apparently built by women.
will post up more photos later :)
this will be one of the 100 destinations that you have to go before you die. seriously.

FINALLY.
i'm done with my portfolio.AND, just when i thought i finish the bulk of what i have to do, they're more and more things to do. i can't even sit down and watch tv series anymore
:(
(4:23 PM)
-dear *CHRISSIE,
happy happy happy 16th birthday darling!
now you're 16 and all, ive predicted ure new resolutions for the next year:-to grow taller-
-to grow out of pimple breakouts-
-to grow longer hair and finally being able to dye it-
but there's one advice for u:
start wearing contacts from december.i always thought u looked
better without.
well, it's not like u'll listen to me anyways.-love u to bits*-because im taking up intensive add maths tuition soon in abt 2 weeks time, i went to find out on the course details for maths in the first year in usyd. and, i seriously thought i was looking at alienated words. i don't understand a thing.
im so lost. and will be
so dead nxt yr.
and i felt better when i found out i got another offer- to unsw! :) but when i looked at their course codefor maths, it was the same -.-i guess sometimes we can't always run away from things.

There's a reason why they say that we should give it time
But time is not enough
And that's the reason why
When you're young you fall in love
Maybe we're trying
Trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing
Is beating our hearts
We're empty
Could it be
That nothings gonna change
Time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost
when I let go of you

-family matters*-
i. am. dead. tired.and all i want to do is
sleeeeep.after going out and runnning errands + sweeping and mopping floor + watering the plants + feeding the fish + cooking dinner + laundry + washing dishes all in about 4.5 hours straight,
that's enough to kill me and drop dead to the floor.my back hurts. my eyes hurt after HOT splashes of oil went into my eyes.and my hands are all wrinkly, dry and wriggly after all the washing.and at the same time of all of this, im pacing against time to finish my portfolio.and in the family side of things, im really starting to get annoyed being the eldest in the family.not only do you have to do all the chores that's being pushed into your hands, but you get stuck in the middle of family arguments in which you were never in the picture in the first place. then, when you give them your opinion on both sides, u get the smack right in the face that it's ure fault.im getting migraine attacks again.*migraine migraine go away,come back another day.*i wish i can be a lil' girl again.-feebs*

i feel like the
most unlucky girl on the planet.
i went over to idp again today to apply for my brother as well as for me accepting the offer for monash u. cos the deadline for the scholarship offer is next monday.
so anyways, i realised i cant wait any longer for sydney u.
anymore.so i went to idp and asked joey (the rep) and had a
tiny itty bit in me that she'll tell me that she
FINALLY has a
reply from sydney.she ended up telling me:
joey: do you know.. i am SO SICK of uni. of sydney ppl.
me: ... O.O why?joey: i called them up todady and for the 5th time they told me they havent got any transcripts yet. so i asked them to check their mail and they finally got it. then they told me that i havent certified together with my name and date. but i already did!
me: (not again...) so how?joey: so i sent them again through email, FAX and MAIL. now they cannot make any excuses anymore.
me: :)joey: apparently, you're the chosen unlucky applicant for 2008 who only seems to have problems with the certificates and transcripts. my other students applying there dont seem to have a problem.
me: (*sigh. ok. that doesn't help. at all.)at least i still have sth to keep my mind off things.
apparently my
golden nicole is on
HEAT!she's the
only female among the
4 other rottweiler dogs in the house.
and so apparently, she
wont allow any of them mate her.
and with her being the only girl, not only is she the princess of the house, but she thinks her way of mating others is
by jumping on the backside of the others.so, tmr we're gonna bring her over to my mum's friend's place house for a month who also has a golden retriever male. and hopefully after a month she'll be
pregnant and have
golden babies! =D i hope that by then, things are on the other way round and nicole realises her job is to just keep still instead of doing all the 'exercise'.

-quality time with family-
the past few days have been very eventful :)
gerald came down to kuching on thursday! and went back last night.. we're already missing u!*
so, we've been corner shop hopping in india street, to eating in different places every other hour, to home hopping and back.
chris quotes: he's so cute! like a teddy bear :)
i HATE my eyebags. double layer somemore =(
love u daddie* =)
since then, i've been eating constantly until 1 in the morning where we'll head off to carpenter street and eat the famous local porridge in town :)
AND, last night i went to meet my adorable cousins at their place and in their pjs, we had another big feast.
see what i mean??
and they're so imaginative! they even created their own dessert!
well, not edible of course.
they used their father's shaving cream for the white foam and the yellow bit at the bottom is washing up liquid. okay, maybe it won't taste that great, but see where they get those ideas from??
and after that they said, "okok go to the bathroom now!! we have to clean up otherwise daddy will scold for using his shaving cream!" =D
gerald, with all these food, i hope it's tempting enough to lure you back to kuching :)
come back more often, k? only now do you realise that many ppl in kch
need u.
esp. the ones in the CHOO family.okay, time to
bathe the dogs.
