Going Ons In This Head of Mine.

As I have promised, I am updating and providing insights to what is going on with my mundane, yet equally enriching and surprisingly slack, first month of school. Needless to mention, this year feels like its a good year and sure has started off with a bloody bang ( although, I did wish a whole lot of people a happy 2009) that doesn't suffice to dampen the spirit.

Chinese New Year


Pretty memorable one, I must say. The last one celebrated at the family estate after 40 odd years and at leedon, the place my parents bought right after getting married for their retirement. Well, yes, it does send shivers down my spine thinking about it but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles. Nothing stays the same and well, our duty is to embrace it.

Another Year Older
Dear old daddy surprised me with his enthusiasm and party spirit and planned a great 21st one day before flying back to Melbourne. The company was just incredible. It just really emphasized that I have a TONNE to give thanks for and I have no idea where to start.
Melbourne in March

Lisa's 20th

3/5/08, arrived in Melbourne at 7am and made an attempt to rush to school for 8am lecture. You're not really bright even though you guessed I did not make it to class. But I did collect my school diary! Consolation much? And celebrated Lisa's 20th at the carlton park just behind my apartment and also just beside our exam venue. Not exactly something you'd like to see the first day you get back to school.

Home

New additions, namely a chest of drawers, to the room allow my clothes to have enough storage space. Or so I thought. I still leave alot of clothes out and the drawers can't close.

2nd Round to Happy Getting Older Day.

The girls threw a Disney themed party, how very apt for leaving childhood behind. Honestly, even with all the perks of being 21, all the hype about being an adult has been masacaraed. We technically do anything at any age, whats 21? An excuse to have a big party and feel loved. :)

Back to school

I had some back to Melbourne and back to school blues. Cured by my two friends here though. Maccers fries tastes very, very nice after a night like this.


Friday night when I'm here


Similar to that much enjoyed in Singapore, yet a far cry from it.

Easter Break In the City


Going to the gym, going to shop, going to church, this is where you'll have to pass by. Melbourne can get pretty, sometimes.


Easter break Horse Back Riding


One word- Painful. The ranch is almost the size of the entire sentosa and is own by a family who runs it. Did you know horses can walk and shit at the same time? I didn't! It was err, amazing?

Easter Break Wine Tasting

Headed down to Yarra Valley to check out the award winning, highly proclaimed, too posh for me vineyards. And good thing is, TASTING IS FREE! contrary to what I believed was about $45 per person per vineyard ( and we planned to visit 3). Heng ka lausai. Yering station (above), gorgeous as heck has really good desserts and white wines. I'm not a big fan of white wines, not a fan at all, in fact. Anyways, got myself a real steal- $19 for a 2005 Shiraz Chardonnay, of which tastes superb with steak and needs to be finished by today.

Easter Break Friday Night.


Soon my energy levels shall decrease and I'll be running on Adrenaline and I'll completely stop partying. Promise. Again, Maccers fries are damn good after a night like this.

That's about all that has been happening. Very unlike the life of that back in home with infatuation dramas all. ;) Do note you are much missed and I can't wait to get back. SQUASH!
