Sorry guys!

Haha..it has been AGES since I wrote anything on my blog! Well, apart from being extremely busy, my interent connection is being cut off due to technical reasons.. once it is re-connected, then it would be much easier to update my blog from home. Thanks for everybody's concern, and patience. Hopefully I will update this blog soon enough. Ta~

What a week!

Woahh..this week has been hectic..such a crazy PMS week to be more accurate.. hehe..

Monday night, I was chilling at Juliet's crib. Then one by one, these people (HELP students to be exact) started to come to her crib. And oh boy..gossips over gossips! I dont even know half of the people that they mentioned..but gosh, the things they do! ishh ishh.. kinna reminded me during those time in 2003..the ups & downs of HELP students is back again! It was completely a B****ing session, I supposed! Feeling quite glad that I am no longer in that group of students.. hehe..

On wednesday, I recalled being SO happy after my Numeracy exam..(it wasnt as hard as I thought). I have smiling (hmm, grinnning more like it!), talking happily to other people, not to mentioned I treated myself with those cheap + thick +delicious french fries ($2.50 for a BIG portion), and had Pizza with Emma Spore + Sheam.. and yes, watching American Idol + screaming for Anwar (I simply LOVE his voice!! He's so unique) Yeah, you can what a H-A-P-P-Y day for me..

Unfortunately, it only lasted for 1 day.Thursday was SUCH an EMO day for me! arrghh.. It was my prac day. The kids were lovely! I started the morning by playing puppets with them. They love it when Mr Croc was eating Ms Duckie! hehe.. Then during outdoor play, they love it when I read them the story books, and everybody wanted to sit on my lap. Now that was cute! I've chosen my 3 focused children for my prac- James W, Emma & Zoe! yeay..

Everything went well..until some "accident" happened. (my only clue is..PMS) So yeah, my mentor was kind enough to let me leave early due to this "accident". And, I still can't believe that I actually cried in the centre (in front of my mentor!) Lucky thing she was VERY supportive & understanding. I couldnt hold my tears when she said "I can give you a hug, espcially when your mother is far far away..I understand how you feel!" *sniff sniff* My hormones went haywire, and I was feeling SO sensitive with every single statement that is being made.. On the way back home, in the bus + in my room, I was SO SO sad with tears running down my cheeks continously..and felt like I was in a big box trapped inside! My mom called later, and I cried over the phone.. my eyes were so swollen! haha..I decided to comfort myself by watching "13 going on 30". Such a cute movie..=)

Friday was a good day I supposed. Abu picked me early to buy Emma's stuff in Rundle Mall. While doing so, Emma called + decided for me not to courier her stuff back. We had a good 30 mins talk over the phone. Boy I miss her! And she is most likely to go home in May! aduhh.. thats 2 months without a housemate! Later, I had lunch with Suci at Pancake House. Decided not to eat my all time fav "Veggie pancake", and tried the "Farmers breakfast" instead (2 bull's eye eggs, 2 hashbrowns, 2 pancakes)..then I headed back to Uni, had group meeting for next week's presentation..

so, thats a summary of my crazy week..

Memorable Quotes from the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Finally I took the time to watch this beautiful movie on DVD. Wow, one "memory" movie after another (last week was 50 first dates)Hmm, after analyzing both movies, I realised that no matter how much memory that was erased about that particular someone, but if he or she is your fate/jodoh, you are sure to meet again & that "memory" will somehow come back to you in some ways somehow..agreed? If you were meant for each other, insyallah you will be together..thats how I feel. You can never erase someone out of your life easily, especially if you love that person!! Well unfortunately the DVD was a pirated one, so I watched the entire movie in black & white! (so the thing about her changing hair colour wasn't applicable for me!) Looks like I will definately borrow/rent an ORIGINAL one to see the "colour" version of the movie! hehe..Here are some of my fav quotes from the movie (in no particular order) ..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joel: Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mary: Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.
[they click glasses]
Mary: Nietzsche. Beyond Good and Evil. Found it in my Bartlett's.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Mary reads to Dr. Mierzwiak out of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"; the lines are from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard"]
Mary: How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joel: I could die right now, Clem. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clementine: Joely? What if you stay this time?
Joel: I walked out the door. There's no memory left.
Clementine: Come back and make up a goodbye at least, let's pretend we had one... Goodbye, Joel.
Joel: ...I love you...
Clementine: ...Meet me in Montauk...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clementine: You don't tell me things, Joel. I'm an open book. I tell you everything, every damn, embarrassing thing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Joel calls Clem on the telephone]
Clementine: What took you so long?
Joel: I just walked in.
Clementine: Do you miss me?
Joel: Oddly enough, I do!
Clementine: You said "I do" - I guess that means we're married!
Joel: I guess so!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clementine: I wish you'd stayed.
Joel: I wish I'd stayed, too. NOW I wish I'd stayed. I wish I'd done a lot of things. I wish I'd... I wish I'd stayed... I do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joel: I love being bathed in the sink - such a feeling of security.
Clementine: I've never seen you happier, baby Joel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frank: McRomance. Want some fries with that shake?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joel: I don't see anything I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will, and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped, because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[last lines]
Clementine: Okay.
Joel: Okay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 24 kids!!

Adelaide Campus Children's Centre

Yeap, today is my first visit at my childcare centre for my prac..and I have 24 kids all together! The toddlers are James W, James M, Emma, Giorgia, Giorgian, Sophie, Adam, Benjamin, Chen Chen, Katherine, Kathleen, Nathan, Lauren, Zoe, Lily, Andreas, Lena, Bjork, Zac, Charlotte, Annabelle, Penny, Jaimee & Finian.. yeap, thats 24! woohoo~ Their ages are between 18 months to 3 years old (Imagine 24 Dzhofiers running all around me the entire day!) My fav kids would have to be James W (very manja, always holding my hand, always smiling..and imagine a little carebear, with a tummy!), Zac (he's so tiny & chomel!) and Emma (she followed me around, so I got to know her better). But of coz, all of them are cute, adorable & lovable in their own way..need to know all of them better..

I won't elaborate long about my first day. I did my reflection about my first day in my journal, and it was 6 pages long! haha.. But basically, I find the centre not well organized & it was very unstructured. But then again, maybe because the team leader was on MC, so maybe thats why things were haywire. I've already have a bad impression on the director (after she screamed her lungs out to the kids from across the playground! sighh) Anyhow, I've learned a lot today.. from the "speedy nappy change" (which I reckon I will do it next week! I bet I will be as slow as a turtle!), to "nap time" (the a sense of relief when they fell asleep infront of you), and basically, the various ways in handling & communicating with them! (some of them are still using their baby talks, so I just "assumed" on what they have to say!) Oh yes, Sophie is the only child with Down Syndrome, so I observed how the staff use sign language to communicate with her. It was fascinating!

Alrighty..1 day down, 21 days to go..I miss my little James W already! Can't wait till thurs..=)

Pride & Prejudice + Amy's Bday..

I can't believe I spent most of my day watching Jane Austin's Pride & Prejudice on DVD! I thought it was gonna be like a 2 hour movie, then I can spend time doing other stuff..err, aparently NOT! It's like a mini-series, 6 episodes to be exact..Imagine, from 10.30am,(eating breakfast) till almost 4pm (had my lunch in between)..woahh.. that's enough of english literature for that day! (Thank god theres english substitiles, or else I could be lost in those dramatic english expressions!)

Overall, its a good movie..There's lots of the life aspect being portrayed in the movie (about rich people, status, families, love..etc) and of course the best part of the movie was Colin Firth..There's also lots of similiarities between his character in P&P + also Bridget Jones Diary.Their character names are the same (Mr Darcy), and the fact that the he acted "cold & bitter" at first, but actually have fallen in love with the leading actress from the very beginning (maybe Bridget Jones is a modern version of P&P..perhaps..)Ok,I know there are other hot looking actors in Hollywood, but when Colin Firth wears the Tux..woaaahh..I almost melt!! I admit it..I LOVE GUYS IN TUX! (and turtle necks too! hehe..) He looks so DASHING in the tux! *meen fainting away..literally! =P *


LOVE this part..when he was watching her from afar.. *meen melts*


Man in Tux..dashing as always..=D


tux for wedding? hmm.. I am highly considering it...

************************************************************************************* Ok, enough with man in Tux..about an hour after my movie marathon, I rushed to the city to join Amy, her cuz & Mai for her bday..We met at Pancake house ( sadly I didn't order any panacakes..was too full to eat! Had Iced Choc though..) So, we just sat at the corner of the shop, and chat..chat...and chat.. Then, since I didn't get Amy a prez (gave her a lil card + a pass for a comedy act), I decided to treat her for some Subway (Double Deal combo! yeay!) I bought for myself as well, cheese steak & seafood! (2 footlongs = 4 '6 inches' sandwiches = 4 lunch/ dinner!) so, thats good, save time to cook for this week! :D

with Amy, the birthday gal!


Amy & her cuz + housemate


chillin' at the Pancake house


just us ladies: amy, mai + meen

cRuz

I have a school friend who was really into Posh Beckham since..forever! He'll go buy her albums, mags about her, etc. Anyway, Posh gave birth to a baby boy recently, and she named him Cruz. Now, my friend's name is Ruz. So, he was over the moon when she named the baby cRuz! (see the extra "C" infront of the name?) haha.. he was SO proud about it! I find it amusing & felt happy for him! what such conincidence! Good for you, mr cRuz! =P

Dara.com mag: March 2005 issue

To those who are in Malaysia, get a copy of the latest Dara.com magazine (its a 'Muslimah' type of mag..), and turn to page 93.. then, lemmie me know what you think, k? hehehe.. ;)

the lunch & dinner affair..

I didn't have to cook at all today! yeay!

For lunch, I had Knoodle with my Bruneian friends, Suci & Noranna. I ordered the BIG portion cause I was just too hungry (didn't eat breakfast, you see..) so we munch..munch..munch.. and chat..chat..chat.. from 1-6 pm! haha.. and of course, when I'm with Noranna, I can't help but to have our fav Boost! I reckon she's like a positive Boost reinforcer for me.. Whenever there's Noranna= there's Boost Juice! hehe..yumm~


lunch with the Bruneians, Suci & Noranna..


my boosting buddy, noranna!


We're just Boost-Craze!

************************************************************************************
Aaron called me up later that day, asking me to have dinner at his place. So at 7pm, I headed to his place and wow, what a feast! He did some bak choy dish, baked potatoes & pasta + cheese, which was very impressive! We managed to finish everything clean! =) And yes, not forgetting to mention about his very cozy & nicely decorated apartment! He has some pictures of Malaysian fruits on the wall (which was really tempting! I want Mangosteen now!), some 'ducks', postcards (like me), etc.. He has good sense of decoration. It was a very enlighting dinner indeed!


Dinner cooked by Aaron..


with the 'Tuan Rumah'..

Emma's leaving on the jetplane..

Emma (my beloved & dearest housemate) flew back to KL today. So now, for the entire month or so, I have the entire apartment to myself. Good thing? Hmm, maybe not. It will be rather quiet here without Emma. Last night, Kat joined us for our last Parisis Marinara Pizza dinner while watching 'Heaven on Earth' DVD. I felt so sympathetic for Josh Harnett's character, but no doubt Chris Klein was so aduring & good looking! hehe.. *Emma, you will be missed!*

Yesterday, I had delicious free food (veggie burger & hotdogs & pizzas) for lunch. I was also told last minute about the OPM (Online Peer Mentoring) meeting, but it wasnt really a meeting. Everyone ended up just talking about the respective countries. (Sweeden, Turkey, Bangladesh, Singapore..not forgetting the beloved Malaysia~) Kinna like a little 'geography & history' class, in a MUCH more interactive way..=)

As for today, I had my first aid traning for my prac. Through out the entire course, it brought back memories of my PBSM days! Those 'kain anduh'- tying the knots-memorizing the diff types of fractures- recovery position- R.I.C.E- CPR days.. *sigh* (ps: only my PBSM friends would remember these terms as well!) The course was definately a good refreshment for my first aid knowledge, cause it has been AGES since I've practice those skills. Boy, I miss those days..~

Being locked out of my room..and 50 first dates..

I was eating dinner with Juliet when Aaron drop by.
He wanted to play with Kaka & Dida.
He opened the back door, and my room door was opened.
Later, he went to the living room to talk to Juliet.
The wind was quite strong.
It blew, and my room door was shut.
My room key was inside my room.
Emma's room was lock as well.
*AAARRRGGHH*
So, Juliet, Aaron & I headed to the Security Office at the office to take a new key.
Then, we went back home.
I managed to open the door, and took the 'old key' with me instead of the new key.
I went to the living room to talk to Juliet.
Not even 5 minutes later, the room was shut again thanx to the wind.
Tried to open it with the old key, but couldn't.
It needs the NEW key to open it.
Again, I was locked from outside of my room.
Twice in the same nite.
Damn.. *sigh*
I have no choice but have to wait for Emma to come home so that I can go thru her room to my back door & open my room door.
Confusing? Whatever..
What a nite..

To get thru the nite, Emma Spore dropped by to accompany me to watch '50 first dates' DVD..
Believe it, I've never watch it.
Everyone has been telling me that it is a SUPERB movie to watch.
One friend of mine watched it over & over again in the plane.
2 of my GUY friends actually CRIED watching it.
so yeah, I HAVE to watch it.
And so I did..and I LOVE IT!
The movie is so colourful..and romantic..
The animals were cute!
*and yeah, I think it is kinna a "guy" movie..hehe*
and please tell me, where can I find a guy who can make a gal fall in love with him every single day? hehe..
This movie is definately in my "Favourite movies" list..
and I'm gonna watch the movie again..and again..and again.. =P


50 first dates


forgetful lucy..

oh and yes..Emma came home later that nite..and I was able to go to my room.. yeay!

Practicum Placement!

For this sem, my practicum placement will be at University of Adelaide's Childcare Centre! yeay! I will be taking charge of kids between 0-3 years old. (Think lots of little Dzhofier all over the place!) So, from next week onwards, every Thursday, I have to be in the centre from 9-5pm. Then, the last 2 weeks of June, I have to go there EVERYDAY! haha.. I'm quite excited about this prac. Wish me luck! ~

My first online parcel..

The other day, I wanted to just "experiment" & try buying something online. I've bought airline tickets & paid bills online, but I've never purchase any item online. So, I was quite anxious & nervous when I did it, feeling a lil guilty as well. Anyway, about 2-3 weeks has passed, and today, I got a notification card from the post office, indicating theres a parcel for me. So I went there..and taa daa~ it was the 3 cute & adorable Care Bears that I've ordered!! *Atatatatatatatatataaaa* I didn't aspect them to arrive so soon, all the way from US.. They're SO adorable!! I have a soft spot for the little Brave Heart Lion. *shys away* I wished I had ordered Cheer Bear for myself! (but then again, I have TOO many bears already!). So jakun man! Will attempt more things in ther future, I hope! (nak Cheer Bear~ hehe)


Is that a parcel for me?


oh yes..it is for me..confirm!


oh look! its the CAREBEARS!! yeay!!
