those were the days...

come across some pics posted online on mel...n reminded me of my short yet wonderful study trip in auz....

melbourne...a city tt i wun like if i had went there for vacation, but as it was due to studies then....everythin i see, i encounter, i do are somehow 1 way or another different as compared to a tourist... here some pics to illustrate...

1)nite view of mel + day view of mel (on way to sch)...

mel nite view fm apartment thou not as fantastic as hong kong nite view...but as its somethin tt u'll everynite whenever i look out of the window (my apartment window all big big pieces of glasses 1...so can see view very clearly....n i've start to appreciate its beauty, its quietness...

way to sch is actually a torture durin my stay there...coz of the freezin weather n the FOC of strong wind...but as u submerge into those victorian buildings, nothin seems to matter anymore...even thou its cold, ppl are still walkin slowly on roads....n if reali cant tahan?a warm hot chocolate from a nearby cafe on the roadside...everythin seems to b in slow-motion in mel day time...

2) Mel train station...a very very big station...its also 1 of the muz pass place every mornin on my way to sch...every mornin as i walked pass will sure peek inside the station to see how it look like...n everyday still no ans...like the style of the station a lot...bit of cosmopolian style...a very significant buildin in the city...till now still thinkin...where did the trains go????

3)City nite view (near my sch)no sure if u can see the "ma-che" (horse carriage) in the middle of the road...its somethin tt i find very amusin n very entertainin in mel...its a real form of transportation k...not like sg trishaw...drive to to specific places onli...this ma-che drive u to the main areas in mel...so gd rite...so can imagine...price also very wonderful rite..haha...wanted to take then...but no money...so giv up...aiiii...if not i can b cinderella on the st of mel...wahaha...

4) food......actually...think nothin much abt aus food..all western food, big big portion...but bcoz me there to study...so managed to find those cheap n yummy food...n the 1 tt till now still left me nian nian bu wan is the vietnamese food there...cheap cheap cheap...think auzzie 3plus...n eat till full full..dun like to eat beef, but the beef there will make me eat non stip...haha...

hmm...thou mel is reali not my fav vacation location..but guess i'll go again in the old (hmm...did i say this below?sounds familiar)...u folks can go try see u like tt anot too!

had a very stupid n tirin dream this mornin (which caused me to wake up at 9.45am)....n since i very nan de had a dream tt i can wake up n remember, plus its such a stupid dream...i've decided to post it online to let u all hav a laugh too...

story goes like this...

me jus change to a new sch (dunno y now workin then dreamin abt goin to sch...muz b office too much mommy kp tokin abt their kids in sch) and was in the same class as my bro (another doubt...me n my bro..gap 10yrs..still can in same class...is i too stupid or he too smart?)....
*note: onli me is the zhuan xue shen....my bro no...he's old bird in the sch*

so on my dunno is it 1st day of sch or which day of sch....me n my bro walked into class tog as usual...then there's 2 ah lian beside my table there...diao-in me n think tokin dunno wat thing abt me....n the cool cool me, simply jus ignore them n cont to stone in my seat (haha...even in dream i'm a stoner in class...reali si xin bu gai)....
then teacher come....then we prepare to have chinese compo exam...then suddenly i realise i got no chinese dictionary!!!!wah the word "die" jus flash in front of me (coz my chinese writing reali very lan..yes, in reality...i need to spend half an hr to flip dictionary durin compo exam everytime)....then i realise tt the 2 ah lians also nv bring...so the 3 of us out of instinct give the teacher a very innocent look...so the nice teacher agreed to let us borrowed from other classes...
jus as i was abt to leave, suddenly, the teacher look at my desk and ask me y i din even bring the newspaper cuttin...then i jus "huh" n look at my bro...n there he was...givin me the yaya look with a thick stack of newspaper underneath his table...KNS!!!i was cursin him with my eyes...givin him the "y i dunno..y u din tell me!?!?" look..(haha...cant imagine its my 1st time remember the story of my dream...n its so detailed)...
so i rushed...see a couple on the outside of my classroom...n jus nice...the ger had a chinese dictionary n she lend me....wahaha...so happy...so quickly tryin to go find the newspaper article...n the prob is...i dunno wat kind of article we are supposed to look for...so as i was runnin ard the sch...i met 2 of my frens (suppposed to be in the same class...n they forget to bring dictionary too)...so quickly ask them wat's the topic...(guess wat, i remember the topic...somethin abt chao xian [north korea] possessing some missiles in the cty)...
n spotted a kopitiam in the sch(?koiptiam in sch???hahaha...its a dream...nvm)...n saw this ah pei there with a "chick" -- "sell" at geylang kind of "chick" (wahaha...my dream gettin hilarious)....saw tt he got a set of newspaper tt he's not interested in readin apparently, so go n ask him give me...(haha...even in dream i also thick skin person...cham..fated liao)...then was flippin the newspaper to find article on the n.korea thingy...n wah so heng got it...but its jus a header....tell u to flip to pg 18 for more details...suay suay my page end at 17 (wah...4d leh...1817....shit ot cant go buy....pls dun come out pls dun come out...wahaha).....but heckcare...no time liao...no fish prawn also can...jus grab and go...
n noe y i say this dream very tiring?coz i not onli run ard the sch a lot...but also my kpo nature still in the dream too...after gettin the newspaper liao by right i shd go back to class rite, but i din....noe y?coz i see my frens...2 big guys...dunno how to borrow dictionaries fm others...so the kindhearted me go help them out...
by the time everythin done n on way back to class...i was already plannin wat to write for my newspaper article (thou till now i still dunno y compo exam got newspaper article writing too...haha)...as a normal article shd b at least 100 words long, but mine onli 2-3 sentences, i was thinkin on the way how to write to sounds like i know a lot abt the topic when i actually noe nothin abt it...

basically think the story ended with me thinkin n thinkin...so when i wake up...liew...feel super tired...like me reali took the exam like tt...plus the runnin...reali physically n mentally tired man...wah...very long nv had such a tiring dream liao...dunno runnin in dream will make 1 slimmer anot hor...after all i did feel the after effect of a workout leh...wahaha....

was readin thru my cousin's blog jus now...n was shocked by 1 of her entry....
she was writin abt an arguement she had with her dad (my uncle), and wat shock me was not wat she said to my uncle, but instead, wat my uncle said to her...he'd told her...he was her boss, and she's an employee of him...reason being -- he's been payin for her expenses n studies all this while...and i was like "hello?dun u hav some common sense of an adult (if not a dad)?" how can he say such things to his own daughter (even if he's damn mad)???how wld a teenager think---"so???u dun treat me as ur daughter at all???is tt's all bet us?jus a boss n employee relationship???"

seriously, i noe my uncle dun mean wat he say...n his own interpretation of his "boss" speech will b different as compare to my cousin...he dun wan my cousin to waste her time over some things which he think are unimportant when compared to studies...but i still cant help but feel upset for my cousin...she's not a bad gal...she's smart, she's intelligent, n her eq is high (when facin outsiders)...ok, she's rebellious, she's playful, but which teenager dun??do her rebellion and playfulness deserve her to b cryin her way home at nite and feels so "unwanted" at home???

most of us hav thot tt my cousin think too much sometimes and is occasionally over-pessimistic...but i believe tt her character had links with the treatment she received at home as well...which gal will be bubbly when most comments abt her from her parents are negative???

dear parents/parents-to-be,
even when u are super extremely angry with ur kids....pls do not say things out of impulse...if adults can get hurt over act of impulse, wat makes u think tt kids wun get hurt???pls put urself in ur kids shoes n dun always think tt wat u think is gd is the best for them...ya they may b kids n may hav not been expose to the world as much as u, but they can think as well....jus provide them with the guidance they need along their growin up process, and not to manipulate the route that they shd take...
i've heard a sayin from dunno where b4...this always very easy for parents to forget the hurt tt their kids had done to them, but it'll take a lifetime for a child to forgive his/her parents for the hurt tt they've caused...so parents, dun make such a mistake which u noe will hurt ur child and will take him a lifetime to forgive and forget....
