Having fun

Okay i found a photo of the day at the beach



I'm at MacDoanlds' again. No freakin birds this time.

Yesterday was really fun!

Got our timetables. FREAKING LESSONS END AT 5.15PM from tues to friday!!!
Got our student cards. I look so retarded in it.
Did the lame bush dance which was.. well, lame.

Watched Powerpuff girls and Lion King yesterday. It was so depressing when the father died... Watching disney cartoons make me nostalgic. So i'm watching Lion King II with my neighbours later!! So excited!

After the movie i went to my neighbour's room and we played with her w-o-w-ish MACBOOK and took so many hilarious photos with that AWESOME iPhoto app! SUPER FUNNY I TELL U! Keep laughing like nobody's business!!!

Played truth or dare with some of the hostel mates on thurs and it was so hilarious and disgusting and embarassing at the same time.
I had to run to the streets and shout at the top of my lungs..
If i did that in SG people would STARE but over here, they just laugh. It's so normal to be silly here. I like :)

School's officially starting on Mon! I so don't look forward to it! Yay!!

1st maths lecture

I just read weifan's comment on my tagboard and i feel so happy right now!!

Sigh~~ Wish i could be preparing the project thingy with my group members now...

I'm at the state library. Again.

Was supposed to go for the Maths introductory lecture today but i overslept!!!
Only woke up when my friend called and she said they were at the building already!!!

I was half an hour late when i rushed there. Then i met my group member. At first i wanted to go in one lor. Then we scissors paper stone to see who would go in first (childish!!) and she lost. But she freaked out at the last min so we just sat outside. Then another one of my group member reached. So we took pics. Then we went to eat. Then i went back to my hostel.

WTH right.

Then my hostel mates were like
"Do you need us to give you morning call?"
Then i was like "DUH!"

Then i went to my neighbour's room to do the maths homework. Polynomials. CHEYYYY.

Thank God it wasn't some chim topic like antidifferentiation (integration)..

Been sleeping in my neighbour's room for the past 2 days. I love her room. Mine's is so gloomy cuz i can't open the blinds if not everyone will see how messy my room is when they walk past. And i can't talk on the phone without anyone eavesdropping...
My bed squeaks whenever i move and it's really cold in the mornings.

Oh ya! I bumped into Yi Ren when walking to school the other day! So happy to see someone i know from Singapore here =)

I'm happy to have made new friends but i keep thinking of the rest back home..

OMG i suddenly miss u all =(

Had orientation this week, VERY tiring. Must run around the whole freakin uni..
Oh how i miss using the computer!!!
I never touch the com since last week!!!

Went to the beach yesterday!
Saw a few naked women lol. Then the boys were like, so excited but dun dare stare lol.
The wind was SUPER FREAKIN STRONG. Our hair was like flying at every direction the whole time.
Took many awesome jumping photos!
Loved it!

Just came back from Planetshakers.
Feeling kinda empty cuz there wasn't any sermon today. Just loads of cool vids.
There's many christians at my hostel. We're thinking of setting up a cell group ^^
My neighbour is a christian too! =D

I MISS U GUYS!! =(

Planetshakers church

Happy belated valentines day everyone, i miss u guys like siao.

Ok the church i'll most probably be going to for the rest of the year is PLANETSHAKERS(click for their homepage) church.

WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The service is like a concert; singing, jumping and praising the Lord at the same time.
SUPER FUN LA!!

Then when they asked people who need to be prayed for to go to the centre of the auditorium or wadever it is (freakin huge), i actually went. And i actually cried.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I CRIED. I JUST DID.

Well, i think i know.

This melbourne uni student, who happens to be a cell group leader, suddenly came up to me and offered to pray for me. I was kinda surprised, so i said ok.
Then she put her arms around me and prayed for me while the rest were singing.
The contents of her prayer was so relevant to me.
She seemed to know my troubles.. EVERYTHING she prayed for was what i needed.

I don't know why but i guessed the Holy Spirit really touched me then and there.
Cuz while she was praying, i suddenly felt touched. Really. Like, all my grief, it just came out. I think God helped me release my troubles in the form of tears.

Those who know me well will know that i'm not the sort who cries easily and i never cry in front of anyone. Not if i can help it.
But this time.. This time is different. No matter how hard i tried to hold back my tears, no matter how hard i squeezed my eyes shut, the tears just managed to seep through my eyelids.
The more she prayed, the more i cried. I just cried and cried throughout the prayer, while the others were singing.

After that, i just kept thanking God for reasons i know not.

Ate lunch and dinner with my hostel friends. Been going out everyday. I guess i have to, if not i will seriously be rotting in my room.

THANK YOU LORD FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME TODAY. YOU ANSWERED MY PLEADING PRAYERS OF SORROW THE DAY BEFORE. YOU TOUCHED ME, AND I FELT IT. I FINALLY FELT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I LOVE YOU.

Funny neighbours

Yesterday my neighbours sang all of the High School Musical songs at the top of their lungs at 11pm and the whole hostel could hear them friggin loud and clear.

It was so hilarious that i nearly went out of my room to join them.
So funny can. I could hear every single word of their conversation.
But i must admit their acapella was rather nice. Enchanting.

What i'm trying to say is that the rooms are not sound proof at all.
I can hear my neighbour's msn alert tone from my room.
I can hear people sneezing in the middle of the night.
I can hear every single door opening and closing on my level.
That's how much privacy we have.

My parents are flying on Sat. Oh how i simply love my life right now.

Orientation day one

Hi guys, i'm doing fine, albeit a lil tired from all the walking. (:

Today is the first day of orientation.

Got many things done, made new friends (all malaysians and one half Singaporean. No Singaporean friends at all!! :( ), half slept to boring talks and toured the whole freakin campus which is so friggin HUGE like nobody's business.

Before the tour, we had to take this friggin English Diagnostic Test which comprised of a fill in the friggin blanks (vocabulary thingy), correct the mistakes in the passage and one friggin ESSAY. My first essay in who knows how long and my first test in this whole friggin year!! WTH i was writing like nobody's business until i had no more space to write and i still had more crap to write wth.

Talking about sense of direction, my half Singaporean friend and i got lost on our way back to the hostel and it was so freakin sunny one moment and then freakin cold and then freakin windy the next. But it was cool, we got to wear sunglasses! SO MANY people are wearing sunglasses over here, unlike SG.

My room is cleaner than yesterday! Haha.


New addition to the wall (my door got no hook):



Haha. Thanks Josephine. I like!!

It's 5.48pm over here, a 3hr difference to SG.

Just came back from shopping.. again. Shopping for necessities, that is.
Toilet paper, tissue paper, washing powder, and whatnots.
Walked all the way home, all by myself.
Tired like nobody's business.
Thank God i didn't lose my way xD



Good afternoon.

Air sick

Thank u guys so much for sending me off and the presents!!!
I must type fast cuz i can only use 700mb of internet access which is really very pathetically little so i've refrained myself from doing mb wasting activities like MSN.
I can't even upload any pics cuz 1 pic is already over 700mb. See how pathetic it is.

I wanted to write some long long essay to thank u guys for being so caring and taking so much of your time to come down to just to send me off, but maybe this is long enough haha. I don't really know what i'm typing right now cuz i'm just speed typing so don't mind me omg am i crapping i think i am yes i am.

I will definitely get the unlimited internet usage pretty soon, like tmr, which only costs $8. Then i can post beautiful pics :D

Oh Em Gee this is really a super lame post cuz i'm like half awake now and i've got so many things to say and share but really can't.

When i get it i will thank every one of you who touched me yeah okay so bye

The fall of Sandy

Last Sunday, met Sandy and Royce at east coast for cycling after church. After that went to the beach, where i fell into the water unintentionally while taking the jumping shots.

So i decided to DUNK SANDY.

Thanks to Royce for taking down this the epic moment. Click to ENLARGE. Hehee

Joan's guide to dunking



First, splash water at target


Then run towards target


Grab target


Pull target


Fail..


At least mission was accomplished


Faster get up


Run away

Hair

Alright i'm going to divulge some of my vanity into this post.

MY HAIR IS SO TOTALLY FREAKIN WRECKED RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE SHAVING IT ALL OFF.


IT'S ALL FLAT AND LIFELESS RIGHT NOW.


Figured i bought the wrong shampoo. I bought the one which makes people's hair straight.. which explains why it's gone all wrong, all FLAT. And all.
I don't even dare look myself in the mirror or any reflective surfaces for fear of tearing my hair out at the sight of it.

So i'm going to get a softer shampoo for my poor, poor hair which i have a love-hate relationship with. I feel like saving it and shaving it off at the same time.

Before using that dreaded shampoo


Yes i chopped it all off to reveal a bowling ball. My mother pitied the hair that was lost while my grandmother tut tut tutted once she laid eyes on me.

Now leh? It's not that hard to imagine.
