Half Way Through 4th August

        I was going to write a blog to thank everyone ... but then again, I think I'll write a thank you blog on Friendster, as no one, pretty much have the link to this blog, except a few friends  ... and well, my dear dear of course ...

I'm half way through the day, and I received birthday wishes from most of my friends ...

          Well, my lil sis didn't really hate me THAT much, at least she bought me a present ... and my mom and dad ... you know ... I guess they are lazy to think about what presents to give me, they gave me "angpao" (紅包) instead ... Hmm ... well a bit 現實 hor, but then again, it's better than they get me something that I don't like ...

        That would be pretty much the gifts I'm getting this year, 2 packets of "angpao" and a paper holder thingy, which by the way looks like a cow ... and that's it ... nothing fancy ... no celebrations ... no surprise ... 

I'm the type of person that likes things to be celebrated, the more the merrier ... but then again, you can't always get what you want right? So I should get comfortable with a low key birthday ... Who knows, the situation could be worse next year ... celebrating alone if I further my studies to Australia ='(

Cow cow paper holder, from lil sis ^^

And it says " I love U" *melts*

"Angpao" from Mummy and Daddy

My dearest dear dear ... there's a reason why I refer to her as my dear dear, as I hold her dearly to my heart ...

P/S: Erm, dear, I no no study today k, I birthday = No Study 

So, my dear dear send me these messages for my birthday ^^

The Mikan Bouyan (Orange Boy) is really cute ... wonder if they sell this toys ...

Lots of Complains

I'm just gonna complain till I'm satisfied ...

I'm so damn tired from all my nightmares ... 

Sleepless nights = Tired = Stress = Whole body aching ...

And oh ya, I just got this freakin' phone call from Good Hope Inn =.=

The person on the other line couldn't be any friendlier, huh?? 

The conversation goes like this 

Good Hope Inn (GHI) : Hi! Miss XXXXX, I would like to confirm you on 

your booking today.

Me       : Oh, I'm sorry, I have to cancelled the booking.

GHI     : Oh, the next time you want to cancel booking, please let us

know

(and let me tell you, she's not talking in a very nice tone either)

I know I'm at fault for forgetting to cancel on the booking, but the least you can do is, be a little nice when you're talking to me on the phone. I don't mind if you say things behind my back after you hang up the phone, missy!

I could be your customer next time, but because of your "lan c" attitude, I'd probably pay for Gurney Hotel, even though it's a little more expensive. Even though I may not be doing this kind of hotel business, but I'm smart enough to know that customers make you and break you!

So BE NICE!

Oh god! I just feel like I'm going to have mood swings again =.=

I'm like stuck in this room for hours and hours ... I feel like I could be admitted to Hospital Bahagia in Tanjung Rambutan anytime soon ...

I tried to edit the blog that I was going to use as my E-commerce project, but I don't know how to fix it anymore ... GOD!

I still have documentations ...

I still have my Internet Programming project, that is yet to be done ...

I still have to study for both of the stupid subject!

Thank God, I don't have exam for my Critical Thinking subject, or I won't know what will happened to me ...

And another thing that I'm going to complain about is my home's shitty internet connection =.=

Technically, I shouldn't put ALL the blame on my home's internet connection, I should blame most of it on the Windows Live Messenger!

I have absolutely no idea why it can't sign in, almost every time! Even Skype and Yahoo! Messenger did better than that! At least they can sign in! 

I've wasted most of my time trying to fix this shitty Windows Live Messenger

GOD! I just wish some genius people can create a new messenger, which is better than what WLM offer!

-End Of Complain-

      Anyways, even though I'm the one that asks dear dear not to come back for my birthday, but still I can't help but to feel a little disappointed that I can't celebrate my 20th Birthday with my dear dear ='(

Love you! 

Birthday Lunch at Chilis'

Stress, nothing much to do with this post, except the fact that my exams is coming

加油吧！

I went to Chilis' just now with my dad and lil sis ... it was my birthday lunch =.=

Anyways, I asked if the lunch can be on Sunday, as I'm quite lazy to go out, but unfortunately my lil sis will be busy dating his her (sorry typo error) "teddy bear" boyfriend by then ... so we end up going today ...

I'm just going to post up some pictures ...

Bowl of Chilies'

Buffalo Wings, Egg rolls, and Chicken Fingers with three different sauces.

Variety of food in one plate, shared by three persons, me, lil sis and dad ...

And our desert for the day is Chocolate Brownie top with Vanilla Ice-cream, YUM!

I thought of having this dessert all to myself, but I changed my mind the moment the dessert arrives =.=

Lau eh, free wan meh! So big plate! I ate like few bites and I'm still full till now, damn!

  

吃太飽 。。。

But I couldn't deny that it's really nice ... I couldn't resist chocolate ^^

By the way DAD! Where is my presents?? 

*SOB*

Please don't remind me

4 days to my 20th Birthday (usually I'm excited bout my birthdays)...

I didn't bother to countdown this year ... and most of the time, I forget that I'll be 20 soon ...

Coz I could feel that it will just be like any other day ... nothing special will happen ...

High School friends that used to celebrate my birthday every year, can't celebrate with me anymore ...

Most of them are scattered all over the place ...

My dear dear is in Australia ...

That leaves my family ... in which, probably my dad would be busy, not being able to be at home on that day (he might probably forget, who knows right??)

... and there goes my 20th birthday =/

I could even tell you exactly what I'll do on that day, even though I'm four days away from that date ...

Call me psychic, call me Maple The Great, MUAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, let's see ...

... I would probably have my CSC 250 class in the morning ... and then home is where I'll be for the rest of the day cause it's study week, and only CSC 250 will conduct the stupid class ...

I'm not complaining though ...

It's just for the first time in my life I guess ... I'll probably have a low-key birthday ... or none at all ... sounds pathetic ...

So to not make this whole situation ... as pathetic as it sounds ... I will not remind myself that its my birthday, It will just be a normal, regular day alright ...

I don't fancy being a 20 year old lady anyways =.=

Love,
Maple

"愛情裡最常犯的錯就是把對方的好當成 ~理所當然~ 直到失去。。”

I miss my dear dear ... she flew back to Newcastle today ... I wish dear dear didn't have to go back there ... it's torturing to go through the days without you ... Miss you badly =(

I saw this sentence on Ching Ching's MSN personal message ...

"愛情裡最常犯的錯就是把對方的好當成 ~理所當然~ 直到失去。。”

Sweet Sweet ^^

It's been a long time since I last blogged ... my dear dear opened another new blog, which she wrote an entry and .... erm ... she didn't do anything about it anymore =P

Anyways, I'm here to update >.<

Few days ago, was our 9 months anniversary ^^ It was on Saturday, and my dear dear took me to eat Haagen Daz at Autocity to eat my favourite, Chocolate Fondue!!! Then she took me to Halo Cafe', just as dear dear promised ^^

Well, this wasn't the picture that we took, but we did took pictures of OUR chocolate fondue ^^

Hehe! This is the proof my dear dear too me to Halo Cafe' =)

That's how we celebrated our 9 months anniversary, there's no need for webcams, or even MSN, we get to hug and feel each other on our 9 months anniversary ... Once again, we spent 24 hours together ^^

And yesterday, after I look for dear dear cause dear dear weren't able to come and find me, cause dear dear was sick ... and I end up staying overnight with dear dear *BIG GRIN*

Yesterday I had fun going to shopping with dear dear ... I'm sorry that dear dear had to accompany me go shopping even though you're sick sick ...

This morning, I rushed back home and took shower before I rushed again to college ...

Then dear dear had to meet up with a friend after I finish class ... but dear dear asked me to go to Gurney and meet up after dear dear had dinner with that friend ...

And I did, I went shopping around with dear dear again ^^ It was a lil tiring but, it's always worth it when I get to spend even one more minute with dear dear

15 minutes before 9pm ... we were at the shop, Lovely Lace .. then dear dear said, let's play a game, and dragged me out of the shop ... We'll give each other 15 minutes to get each other presents, and the condition is ... the present cannot be worth more than 20 bucks ..

So right after dear dear said that, we go wherever we want to go, to look for perfect presents for each other ... I was rushing like mad ... cause 15 minutes ain't enough for me!!! I was like running for my life ... I went down one floor below, and can't find the presents that I want to give dear dear ...

So I ran back up two floors and ended up at XIE GALLERY, and got dear dear a mug, with a picture of a butt, hehe! So so so cute, but unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of it

But I did take pictures of the presents that my dear dear gave me ^^

Look! It's a cute lil sheep sheep ^^

I love love it <3

"The Last Lecture"

Never in my lifetime that I finished a book in a day, to be exact, less than 24 hours ...

This book has to be the best book that I've read so far that I manage to finish it up in less than a day (I usually took 2 weeks)

I laugh and I cried throughout the process of reading this book ... and towards the end, I can't control my tears that I just let it flow ...

I asked myself what was my childhood dream? I don't remember any of it, to be honest with you ...

But I certainly know what is my dream now ... My dream is to graduate at University of Swinburne and hopefully could stay at Australia for the rest of my life with dear dear ^^

I love reading this kind of books, it gives us the first hand experience of what other people have been through and it teaches you a thing or two about life ... I'm glad I always made the right decision when it comes to purchasing books. I will keep this book for as long as I live ..

Most of the people around me, don't share this passion about this kind of books, with me ... they usually rather do anything else than to bury themselves into a novel. They'd say that it's boring. But I'll say, they miss a great book and a great life experience.

Randy Pausch with his family

I'll let you guys get this book yourself and read it on your own. It's worth every penny =)

So go to the nearest bookstore and get one yourself ^^

"The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch and Jeffery Zaslow

 Hoping that Randy Pausch is doing fine now. And I wish him the best of luck =)
