at 6:41 PMOK LAH OK LAH!!! SCARED OF LIM WAN YING ALREADY LAHHH!!!! but actually.....sigh.... i guess i really have to write something about my birthday. well, though it was almost a week ago, i gota say it is one of the best birthdays ever!!! i started the day early at 7.30am to meet the folks for breakfast. did i mention my parents flew all the way to NZ to spend my birthday with me? :D haha! anyway i had classes at 9 so i had to eat early. we had mcdonalds for breakfast cos it was near uni, and then i was off to school while the folks went for a scenic train trip. started off the day with physics tutorial (bleh), and then one of my friends came in and wished me happy birthday! i didn't expect her to remember! then as the day went on, i met more of my friends and all of them wished me too! one girl in class whom i'm not even close to, and whom i didn't even tell was my birthday even gave me a present! i was so touched!!! then lunch time came, and my friends and i all headed to the lecture theatre which is quite a distance away from our tutorial building. when i reached the lecture theatre, i was settling down to complete an english essay cos i still had time before my next class, when my friend called me and told me to come to go to the field outside cos they had found something. :S i actually suspected something was up, but i went anyway and it was my surprise birthday party!!! :DDDD my friends actually went to buy a cake for me (and mind u it's quite hard to find cakes in NZ for some weird reason) complete with those big 2-0 candles!! I WAS SO TOUCHED OMG. I have the best friends ever! and they went through all the hassle to make sure i wouldn't find out. and of cos, me being one of the most unobservant people in the world, i didn't notice a thing. :P after class my friends and i headed to our school gym to check out the facilities. it was AWESOME. they have badminton courts, basketball courts, weights, all the fancy machines, pool tables etc, AND IT'S ALL FREE WITH OUR STUDENT ID! WHOOOOT!! ;DDDDD afterwards we went for bubble tea where u all laughed till our stomachs hurt like crap because we were making jokes about bubble tea. :P:P:P i don't think u need much imagination to guess what jokes we were making. :P in the evening, my parents bought dinner, and nana, michael and daniel came along. we went to this thai restaurant near my house called 'taste thai tonight', cos it was apparently the better thai place in the area, and it was near home. i didn't want to stay out too late on a school night. ok, there's no way to say this nicely, but the food was gross. :P ahahaaha!! seriously. everything tasted wrong. the curry was sweet, :S the noodles were practically drowned in soya sauce.... i though i was gona die of hypertension. but daniel, who has a dragon in his stomach, gamely finished everything we couldn't finish, which is A LOT. really, A LOT. I've never known anyone who can eat so much. i was really impressed. the folks gave me a happy birthday balloon on a stick which had a plastic wrapped around it to resemble a bouquet, and michael, nana and daniel got me a birthday card and Calvin Klein perfume, which smells FANTASTIC. :D so it was really an awesome ending to a great day. :D that wraps up my birthday! dad left yesterday, and he just texted me to say that he just touched down in singapore. as i'm typing this i'm looking at the clock and he and sis must be at aunty allyson's place having a ball of a time when the rest of the LIM family and darryl and kim. :((((( i HATE it when i miss fun gatherings like this :( mum is still with me, and she's leaving on wednesday. she's supposed to stay with me at my house but she's too spoilt - can't share toilet and everything. so she checked into a hotel and i'm sleeping over with her. k. hope this post's been long enough. cya! xoxo, you know you love me Wednesday, March 10, 2010
at 5:26 PMI LOVE DUNEDIN FASHION WEEK!!! HAHA! i came home tonight and nana and i settled into our normal routine every night. having dinner in front of the tv, watching friends, neighbours (an Australian show), then friends again in that order. we actually don't really watch neighbours but it's between 2 friends episodes, so what the heck. the storyline is super complicated bcos basically everyone is sleeping with everyone and it's just so screwed up. anyway, we were watching friends halfway when nana said that it was dunedin fashion week this week! and she said for today only, there will be some participating stores open till 9pm, so would i want to go shopping? so i said yes and we went after the 2nd friends episode, that finished at 7pm, which was perfect cos it's free parking after 6pm. the carpark attendants don't work late see. :D in fact, no one in NZ does except for SOME restaurants. so off we went! nana actually DRESSED UP for the occasion, tying her hair and applying makeup complete with a dress and high heels. i just threw on a coat and my pair of cute slippers. everyone who sees my slippers comments on how cute they are. the people who greeted us at the door and offered us free champagne were so fascinated by them. i felt so special. haha!! our first stop was a shoe store that i really liked. they were having a sale. 1 pair for $130, and 2 pairs for $230. i want a pair of cowboy boots so badly so i tried on a brown one which was probably the closest thing they had to it, but it pinched my feet really painfully in front. sure, it looked good on me, but i didn't want to spend money on something that's uncomfortable. i comfort myself by saying i'll find my perfect pair in time. :D so i bought a pair of black boots, and another pair of greyish-blue boots. NZ HAS GOT AWESOME BOOTS!! WHOOOOOT!! and the best thing is they have my size. :D then we went to another store where nana bought 2 pairs of sunglasses cos she loves them, and they had a lucky draw! so we waited behind for the results and the prize was fantastic. u get VIP tickets to the fashion show on saturday, get like $600 worth of free makeup, and basically you're treated like a hollywood star for a day. omg nana and i were praying for it so bad. but of cos, as usual we didn't get it. the person called out 3 people's names and they apparently weren't in the store anymore, so she called out the 4th one and the person responded like, "oh. that's me." like, as nonchalantly as responding to a teacher taking attendance or something. nana and i were like, what?! at least sound more enthusiastic. u just won't a fantabulous prize!!! -_-''' so we wanted to walk round more but shops were starting to close and it started drizzling. so we left and now i'm home admiring my new boots. :D yay i'm happy! shopping = liberation. omg i SOOO need to do laundry, ironing and vacuuming tomorrow. :( xoxo, you know you love me Tuesday, March 02, 2010
at 12:03 PMi am extremely grateful and thankful that i have survived my first 2 days at school. i've met good people, though not many, but i rather meet one decent person than meet 10 jerks. i had 3 science lectures in a row today, from 9am to 12pm. bio, chem, physics. they're only introductory so it's not so bad but i know when the work load gets heavier, my brain is gona get fried. my chem lecturer is also my physics tutor, and he's from canada! it's so nice to hear his accent other than the kiwi one for a change. and what i like best about my tutors is that they're all so passionate about what they teach and they make lessons really interesting. maybe they couldn't do it in hwachong cos there's really now way to make mitosis or ionic equilibria fun, but aiya, the teachers also fail la. yep. i'm tired so this is gona be a short one. bye. xoxo, you know you love me |
