prom fever is seriously infecting trinity man!! like just today, 3 different people asked me to go for the after prom party. then in chem lecture, i overheard (i'm no evesdropper man!!) 3 girls going on about pedicures for the "BIG NIGHT"... yes, i shall term prom as "THE BIG NIGHT" from now on... TBN for short...
oh well, i'm just glad that i don't really have all the hassle of buying dresses and shoes and accersories here in melbourne. i took the chance when i went back for the june holiday to get all my stuff. besides, it's cheaper there and not to mention, i know which shop has the prettiest dresses or the cutest bag. and my fashion consultant, my MUMMY, was there to give her advice. in fact she picked out my prom dress for me!! i was nearly giving up buying one coz i either looked fat in them or i looked too short in them or.... whatever lah. in the end, i got this really simple cream gown from Daniel Yam. super simple and super me lah...anyways, it's my mummy's thought that matters and not to mention, my daddy said that i looked pretty in it too!! hehe..... p.s. it was cheap too!!
oh well guess everyone will look their best during TBN... and one word to Qi: just be comfy in whatever that you wear okie, girl?? you're already very pretty and the dress is just going to accentuate it alright?? and tiana, can't wait to see you in your super hot dress lah!!

shoes fetish!!
oh gosh.. i went shopping just now to find gold flats to go with my after prom party outfit at Myers and i saw this gorgeous sparkly gold ballerina flats and it cost AU$500!!!! waaaah, instantly my dream fantasy arriving in those gold shoes vanished!! it's by Marc Jacobs!! sobz...
so i had to settle on a pair by Mosaic. gold shoes nonentheless. but i want Marc Jacobs!! sigh... wish i had more money...
then i saw another pair by DKNY i think and it's gold too and i wanted that one... and it's slightly cheaper... but still around AU$400!! geez....
oh well. looks like i have to settle on the cheaper and not-so-pretty version of them then...
and i had Sumo Salad again for lunch. Lemon and herb chicken salad!! absolutely delish!! and a cup of Superjuice. i feel so healthy now... hehe... maybe i should top it up with an apple and nectarine.... must slim down before prom you know... or at least have glowing healthy skin....

*IT* & *HIM*
i wonder if i would go back to when i was born and reverse everything whether *IT* would make a difference in my life...
but then again *IT* made such an impact on my life that i can never imagine myself without *IT*....
hmm... maybe that's why you can never live a day twice, much less live your whole life ALL over again...
and *IT* did save my life after all...
i should be grateful that i'm alive that is...
anyways, on to happier thoughts....
i finally saw him for the first time yesterday and well, let's just say that i was surprised by how he looked....
for a guy that is him, my expectations of "him" is this really nerdy and starbucks-going guy with a notebook under his arm and his head in the clouds but well, don't judge the book by its cover.
and then i saw him today again and suddenly he looks like a nerd all over again....
what can i say?? i'm just one confused girl... my perceptions of people are as constant as the moon cycle....

prom fever...
oh well. it's prom fever here at trinity and let me tell you that it is such a big fuss over here
and i'm the uninitiated to the world of proms am really amused by all the going ons and the albert house guys and girls have their equal share of drama about prom... and every day and night, you listen to various gossip about who's going with who and i get my newws from teh very prominent and HIGHLY informative "TM" radio.... hehe... that particualr source has the nicest gossip about everything and anything... but i don't listen all the time, i do contribute to that source's ever growing news.... hehe.... that is if i get any newsworthy stuff to say...
anyway, back to prom... the most unlikely people are going to the prom together and there are really weird couples.. "merely friends" huh?? hehe....
well, wil be going out with the albert house people and will be sitting with them... so it should be the most boisterous table in the hall and it is after all the last event of the year and not to mention, the after prom party at ember or hush.... so need to buy a new top or something for that... because i'm so not going dancing in my long dress.....

anticipation
yay, hari raya is finally coming... and that means that my whole family wil be coming to see me soon in melbourne including my dad who is always so busy, busy, busy....
can't wait to see them and bring them around the place...
dad even said that he wants to walk his "little girl" to college.... hehe, guess he does miss me after all... i mean, the intelligent conversation in the house will have definitely decrease after my departure....
so yes, i will make a list of things to do and eat (the eating part is especially for my bro) so that i won't waste anytime thinking of places to bring them....
1) of course, a tour around albert house (this is for my dad's benefit since he has never actually seen the place yet) note to self: clean up room.. or maybe not coz mum will do that for me without me asking coz that's what mums do best!! cleaning!!
2) a trip to the whole family's fave greek restaurant!! stalactites!! mum's been craving it since last time
3) pancake parlour!! yes, it's like a hidden treasure tucked away on swanston st taht makes the most awesome, buttery pancakes. yums!!
4) DFO, chadston for my mum and dad for all their shopping needs and for daddy to exercise his wallet a bit... hehe and then smith st for my bro, the sports freak.
5) and the national gallery of victoria for bro!! he always wanted to see the paintings and i just bought a whole book describing each piece fo artwork and i finally have someone to go with me and go gaga over the art!! yaaaay....
6) and st kilda!! the ultimate beach getaway... hopefully, it will be warm enough then we can play in the sand and sea and eat all the yummy seafood... coz i just got this foodies' guide for just $2 at myers' sale and they have like all sorts of cafes and food places in st kilda!!
7) some salads from sumo salad in QV for mum... she absolutely adores them... she's such a health freak man...
8) sofia.... the nicest and cheapest restaurant in camberwell.
9) and that brings me to notturno, where friends meet on lygon.... the most heavenly cakes on earth and the most sinful caesar salad i have ever tasted....
10) great ocean road and if possible mornington peninsula for daddy... he always wanted to go there....
11) all the surf shops on swanston for bro!! he loves his boardpants and hopefully it will be hot enuff for him to show them off. but then again, even if it is chilly, he would still wear them, he has skin THAT thick... liek a polar bear can keep warm in minus 0 degrees in his boardpants.
12) max brenner's!! my fave choc bar!!
13) and hush bar, the first clubbing place i went to....

adults only please....
oh well... it is the 1st day of college....
and it is well... like college-ey...
we had this field trip to melbourne musuem for our bio practical... a great way to start a college term i would say. we had a great time investigating evolution of life on earth and DNA.... and we had a sidetour into the mind and body gallery where me and sanny had the chance to view a tastefully and artfully done tape of sexual reproduction of humans!! hehe, there was like a man and a woman who was kissing and they were having sexual intercourse and there was this weird background music.... erotic even i would say... hehe....and then there was a VERY graphic demo of the ejaculation of sperm (with the sound effect of a very majestic "whooooosh" in the tape i must say) and the formation of the fetus....and pictures of very pregnant women... me and sanny were like grinning all the way through the tape and after it finished, we looked around and we found similar grinning adults standing in a circle attentively watching that very video.... hehe.... didn't see any lecherous old man.. or women for that matter.... (feminism being the debate topic for this HOI term).....
and when we came out of that particular "restricted" section, i saw mummies and daddies reading the sign outisde that section and then they immediately led their very small and tiny children away from that section... it was hilarious hearing this small boy going "mummy, i want to see this section... can i???" and then the mummy went, "oh no darling you need a very special pass to see that..." it was like this adults-only section....
