Its shameful, but you tend to be so self-involved in the dramas of your own life that you fall back on everything else.

Do you constantly search for change or do you fear change?My answer is both.

I keep hearing the song on the radio, but never learnt who it was...til i saw the video. Not only was the song nice, but i thought Jesse was cute ...he has a boyish charm. That was til i found out he really is a boy and that he plays the kid from SummerLand. No wonder he looked familar. I was disgusted with myself.

1. I went for a oil massage
2. We arrived in HK
3. We arrived home
4. We left for the Gold Coast
5. Arrive back home again
...all in the space of 2 weeks.
Oil Massage
The massage was great...especially the finale where once again i got my back cracked. I have to admit though, the best oil massage i got was in Ao Nang, Krabi - but we paid quite a bit for it..so it evens outMintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1105169257436574232005-01-08T18:18:00.000+11:002005-01-08T18:40:20.286+11:00Its been awhile since i last posted but everytime i had to get online there was something important to do.
Since chiang mai, we headed to Pattaya by mini bus. As soon as we hit the ground (off the plane that is) we were attacked by these taxi drivers who wanted to take us straight to pattaya. We wanted to take the coach down by they were really pushy.

Currently residing in Chiang Mai. Its been somewhat tiring yet exciting at the same time! Been eating soo much too!
I arrived in bangkok safe and sound on tuesday night...will and i were pretty tired. The 9 hr ride was exhausting...i cant imagine how painful the flight to europe would have been..
Anyways, on arrival at the hotel we were greeted by thao and halynh.

But i'm doing my best to prevent it by being as organised as possible so that no leaf/rock is left unturned...so to say.
With this in mind, i'd like to wish everyone a HOT, exciting, exhilarating, enjoyable and happy christmas.

So i woke up at 7am cause i couldnt sleep...despite sleeping at 2am...i headed to the city and got there around 10am...and starting shopping...with the full knowledge that dinner with the uni guys wasnt going to beMintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1102502154438163802004-12-08T21:21:00.000+11:002004-12-08T21:35:54.436+11:00Whatever i'm doing now...i think its detrimental to my health...despite what you may all think:
1. Sleeping at least 10hrs a day is not good because:
a. my body feels sore when i wake up - my neck and my back hurts
b. waking up at 12pm means i usually squeeze in 2 meals a day...some of which arent very good to begin with
c. my brain is getting lazy because i'm not doing anything useful with it Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1101815593747711382004-11-30T22:38:00.000+11:002004-11-30T22:53:13.766+11:00So..if you havent heard..due to personal circumstances, i have officially unpacked my suitcase for my europe trip. I've removed the heavy socks, the jackets, scarves, beanies and thermals....and replaced them with beach towels, swimmers, t-shirts and shorts =P
Although i am no longer going to Europe as planned...i'm now spending 3 weeks in thailand with Will, Thao and Halynh starting Dec 21st.

Even i have no idea. Other than having Kelly Clarkson's new album Breakaway on repeat i'm not doing much.
Anyways, not all is in vain...cause i've started to get in the mood for my trip. Started researching various things to do and left to organise.

The ability to express and allow others to experience your emotion with you is truly a gift.

That "next blog" button is pretty cool. Came across someone http://ieeaaa.blogspot.com/ is that Jos's sister? It could just be a coincidence that her last name is del prado.

Also came across another interesting blog: http://thescient1st.blogspot.com

Oh the joys of procrastination.
Today i got my hair straightened. I had to arrive there at 10.30 which meant getting up at 8.30am. Boy did i struggle...i'm quite tired now actually...

Will, Halynh, Ian and i were playing at the Courts at Wetherill. Out of nowhere these boys come and challenge us. Only except they said: "lets play 3 on 3". Am i invisible?
Eventually the other boys agreed that i could play and that they'd go easy on me. Noone will defend me and stuff...girl rules. One guy actually came up to me and goes "are you sure?

Well i think its happened to me. No i'm not talking about Will this time. But rather an old friend i bumped into on friday. I seriously have not seen the girl for 6 years and out of nowhere she appears again.

Things happen for a reason, we just have to find ways to cope with the hand of fate.
Work has been bugging me for quite awhile now to increase my hours and work on a full-time status. However, with 2 subjects lingering...i just couldnt committ. It just wasnt working out.

On the weekend i was reminded several times that i havent blogged and that everyone is sick of my last blog. I should check my site stats more often...i didnt realise that many people hit the site.
Anyways, my weekend in review:
Friday
Mindy and i made our way to Bondi Junction via public transport - which may be a shock to all Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1096432145128743602004-09-29T14:23:00.000+10:002004-09-29T14:29:05.126+10:00Saw this quote in the paper today and loved it:
"You cant live in a glass bubble all your life...once you get that irritating travel bug, that sense of adventure is hard to stop".
Today an old guy sat next to me on the bus and said to me: "are you chinese? are you mandarin? are you japanese? thai? malaysia". *minh shakes head* "can i ask what background your from?" *vietnamese*..."oh thats the Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1095955756302318342004-09-24T02:00:00.000+10:002004-09-24T02:09:16.303+10:00Life is a rollercoaster that can not only give you nausea, but also the greatest adrenaline rush. There are bumps and theres are turns, but at the end of the day, the ride ends and only the memory of it remains. I care not to give details.
Tonight, Mindy and i saw Cinderella Story with Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray.

Why is it that heaps of couples tend to couple up in Spring?
Why is it that not many couples couple up in winter?
I came to the conclusion that the environment surrounding us has a great impact on our emotions. Whether it be to attracting someone or just our relationships with people.

I guess it wasn't meant to be. Got my income tax done, turns out i need to repay money. I was hoping for a refund - guess it wasn't meant to be. So ever wonder if things were meant to be?
Moral: Things happen for a reason.

Monica - You should've known better
i didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spree
And La or Melrose, boy if you didn't know it
Now you know, I didn't need the furs or the jewelries
Because martial things don't mean much to me
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied

None other than an eating extravaganza!
Last week
Will turned 22 on the 25th August, so naturally along came the celebrations! Will and i organise for him to have dinner with his friends. The original plan was at Bellissmo on Cabramatta Rd...but when we got there it they were booked out and we had to come up with another plan.

I hate waiting. Hence i am now watching The OC episodes ahead of national television. Whoopee!
On other notes, flights to Europe are almost locked in. Just need to get that deposit down on Thursday and were set to go. Still have to arrange accomodation and all that nitty gritty stuff... but we'll be fine. So excited...now to start saving/budgeting.

So, i was recreating half the pages on my site and realised that i hadnt changed the look throughout the entire site.

In that time...
1. My future is somewhat secured. YAY!
2. My dog has been missing and i'm miss having him around!
3. Linda had her 21st bday
4. Mindy had her 21st bday lunch
5. Nel has been overseas and i'm missing her sorely
As usual i'm always too late to blog before everyone else gets to it. So i'll just direct Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1088315299096666532004-06-27T15:26:00.000+10:002004-06-27T15:48:19.096+10:00Its been over a week since i last posted. My condition has vastly improved. I am no longer succumbing to coughing spasms nor am i so drugged out that Red Cross won't want my blood. As of today, i am no longer taking cold and flu tablets. I havent yet decided if thats a good thing or not.
Anyways, my week as of late has been not too eventful. It was back to work on Tuesday and off again on Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1087524030247105892004-06-18T11:45:00.000+10:002004-06-18T12:08:37.173+10:00So i have to keep this short so i can head back into bed before i cough out a lung.
Justin Timberlake for me, wasn't the best experience. Sitting out there in the cold since 9am was not enjoyable at all. It was the longest day of my life! Not to mention the dilemmas of letting ppl in and those pushing their way into the line.
The security was crap because we all got rorted. There were 3 doors Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1086746688021279652004-06-09T11:52:00.000+10:002004-06-09T12:10:23.050+10:00Things about me this week:
1. Got added to the jury roll for this year
2. I'm really sick and taken too many days off for my bank accounts liking - damn cold damn you!
3. Anticipating Justin Timberlake concert which is in 1 week exactly! Wooo!
4. Anticipating Thao's 21st bday party this friday - steamboat yum!
5. Anticipating the long weekend! Looks like fishing is on the agenda?

I've been having really some really deep conversations about life lately with people around me. I think i've learnt alot in the last week or so. I've learnt about the sciences behind attraction and the human instinct to pass on genes. If you haven't already heard me talk about this, i'll fill you in another time. Its quite interesting, although i must warnMintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1084778981901060222004-05-17T17:18:00.000+10:002004-05-17T17:29:41.903+10:00Its been a reminsceful week to say the least. As you may have already heard... the BITs officially graduated on Wednesday. It was strange emption. I never thought that day would come soo soon and it was somewhat sad? All my experiences, my look at uni was entirely based on my friendship with the BITs. My entire uni life was spent with those guys, and the realisation that one stage of my uni life Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1083563258337115112004-05-03T15:47:00.000+10:002004-05-03T15:51:51.576+10:00Its been a hectic weekend for me. We had our accounting presentation on Friday night. Despite getting no sleep on thursday nite thanks to Tommy, we managed to carry off a 3hr presentation. The usual technical glitches, but overall i thought it was fun. It was our little work of creation. I was glad ppl laughed, we were so scared that it will seem try hard-ish and lame.

I'm going to the Justin Timberlake concert! I'm so excited. Turns out both Anda and i bought tickets so we had 2 spares. But i heard from tommy that Jos and Henry wanted to go, so i'm gonna sell mine to them. *phew* I hate having spares and trying to get money back. Esp since these were $137 tickets!
Justin oooowwww!

1. Life is precious - Never take anyone or anything for granted. For some reason, it takes drastic measures before people learn to appreciate what they have... and you never knew what they truly meant to you til they're gone.
2. Live a life with no regrets - live life as if it was your last.

DONT SAY IT".
Your probably wondering why i'm having this spiel and its because i was watching a mass load of tv last night. I dont know about everyone else, but being home and indoors when its raining out is the best. I spent the majority of the day in front of the idiot box.

My long-term goal: to travel the world
Other than the usual husband, house, car and 2.4 kids thats whats on my mind right now. I cant see longer than 10years down the track but i dont think my long-term goal is going to change.

Let's update on the last few days. Tuesday night, Mindy and David came over pretty much at the same time. David came by to pick up the massage voucher i got him for his birthday. And Mindy came over to help me bake a banana cake. Good thing david was over... his hospitality skills certainly came in handy.

Thanks for the comments. Sorry for letting you down and not blogging everyday Kev! As for Ken, i think you know how i know! Unfortunately i have been banned from posting Eric / Mindy news. The most you'll get out of here will have to be deciphered... Speaking of those 2, i'm missing the e-squared and m&m gang. I finally uploaded the travel pics from my digital camera to my computer.Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1078380601561648402004-03-04T17:10:00.000+11:002004-03-29T16:34:02.293+10:00So yesterday was my first day back at uni. I never realised how badly i missed that place til yesterday. It all doesnt feel the same anymore though. All the ppl and places i associated the places with are now empty. I think this year is going to be really different. Everyone's in different stages of their careers and studying... i feel all grown up now.
Anyhows, as i was walking thru the tunnel Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1078197343342219972004-03-02T14:15:00.000+11:002004-03-02T14:25:20.810+11:00ALIAS is tonight - i cant wait! Uni is 2moro... i cant wait! Its 2.15pm, almost home time.. i cant wait.
AND why isnt anyone blogging? HUH HUH?*ahem* Mindy, Mel, Nel, Jas, Pat. Least i can always rely on Sarah and Kev to keep my boredom at bay.
I wish time would go faster...

Went out with the uni bunch. That included Mindy, Lish, Mel, Nel, Phil, Claire. Other ppl also included Lowell (who only dropped by), and Chris (claires friend).

Anyways, i did Mindy's quiz. Please refer to website. And i got Morpheus.
It says:

I'm in Phuket atm. I have to say.. it wasn't what i expected it to be. Quite dull in contrast to Krabi. Patong beach is very crowded and tourist ridden. I think i prefer the secluded kind of beaches.

The truth is.. i hate getting online after work. I spend all day on the computer at work.. so i dont exactly want to spend my remaining hours on the computer at home. Anyways, lots has happened.. and i can only give a quick overview:
1. I passed all my semester this semester! Yay!
2. I got my hair straightened today.
3. I'm going to asia onMintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1068977836093818032003-11-16T21:17:00.000+11:002003-11-16T21:20:31.903+11:00Hmm.. so its been a LOOONNG time since i've blogged last. I'm no longer gonna make any excuses. The only motivation i had to blog today was the fact that Mindy still lists me as her first link and really..i have nothing here to warrant that priviledge... so whether its out of guilt or not i'm not sure.
Anyways, i realised the other day... i think i've outgrown blogger. My main purpose for Mintyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00756802810054012639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987727.post-1066660416824253992003-10-21T00:33:00.000+10:002003-10-21T00:46:52.680+10:00The weekend
