Queen Vic Market Shopping Trip
what can be THAT nice about grocery shopping?? well, for starters, you need to go to a super bustling, super happening place like Queen Vic to get the goods. and when i say goods, i do mean literally anything under the sun... yes, even clothes and sour sticks (yes, me and yi yu saw these super long sour sticks that you can chew on for ages till it melts in your mouth)....
but most of all, i love the organic section for fruits and veggies. for organic stuff, the price range is really cheap man, considering that it's the freshest and least harmful of all foods.... and not to mention ,the gourmet ready made food section that has Greek dips, German bratwrust, marinated baby octopus, exotic coffees, never-before-heard sausages and bread rolls..... it's like a foodie heaven man..... it's been a long time since i last went there and boy did i miss it!!
so my Safeway green Eco friendly shopping bag contained these when i came back:
1) 5 nectarines (they are so darn cheap...)
2) 4 peaches (again, darn cheap too)
3) 1kg of cherries (again, half the normal price and they are sooooo sweeeet *happy sigh*)
4) 2 boxes of blueberries (a good source of antioxidants)
5) 2 Don Viennese frankfurt (it looks tempting in the window display and it's cheap)
6) 1 chicken oregano long sausage (again, it looks tempting)
7) 1 slice of baked cheesecake for Janice (it's her Econs exam tomorrow so a little encouragement for her as i know she LOVES cheesecake) and it's rumored to be the best cheesecake in Melb (that's what the display said anyway)
8) a small container of baby octopus (this is for Shaleen...she can't get enough of the octopus entree we had at Stalactites that day) from the greek gourmet food section....
for me, it's just fruits, fruits and more fruits for me... yums... can't wait to start on my nectarines.....

a mixed basket of life...
yep, it's 4 subjects down and 1 more to go and that one more is only on 4 Dec... yay...
still it's freaking bio so memorisation is the key to score and Mel so does not like to memorise. she does better by understanding stuff... wonder why i took up the subject in the first place. probably because i THOUGHT it might give me a headstart on my probable career in medicine and not to mention, i THOUGHT it was so darn easy to score....shucks... i GUESSED wrong then....
anyways, to celebrate the end of chem finals today, we had a sort of impromptu girls shopping trip to Safeway.... yeah yeah yeah, it's only the local supermarket, not some super huge departmental store.. but hey, i haven't see the outisde sunlight in such a long time and can barely remember what it looks like... it's like *open door, blink, blink, blink* "wah, outside look like that one arh??"... okay, i'm exagerrating, but exams can do that to you man... sreiously... long term effects....
and since i'm taking a break from bio revision, shall just put up wacky pictures of the shopping trip where i only bought one HUGE bar of Cadbury Black Forest Choc (my favourite, my only obsession i will NEVER give up), some Lindor Thin Milk Chocs and Who magazine with Tom Cruise and Katie's wedding as the front cover... her reception dress looks so prettyful, designed by Armani and hand made with thousands of Swavaroski crystals... check it out man... absolutely classy and stunning.... still i'm wondering whether Suri, their little baby daughter (some weird name i must say, named after the African sun or something like that) is REALLY the offspring of Tom and Katie. sure, she resembles Katie but definitely NOT Tom.... i smell something scandalous here..... oh well.... celebs and the goss about them.... hmmm... entertaining...

me and qiqi both in our white white white pure white hoodies...

our other two shopping partners, yi yu and shaleen along Drummond St where we live...

qiqi in her "hmmm...." mood.... she was so darn happy today after chem exam was over... i was too....

and courtesy of qiqi , who actually demanded me to take this stupid, pathetic picture of the christmas tree in QV... it's quite pitiful compared to the HUGE on standing just on Swanston Street, around Collins Street.. qiqi was exclaiming all the way about how pretty it was and stuff... but qi arh, ic an find better ones for you rather than waste my MB on this pathetic tree man...
anyways, tomorrow, shaleen promised that we will go out to eat dinner!!! yay,.... finally, after two weekends of take away food..... this girl will go crazy at the sight of Toto's pasta or pizza....shall consult my Foodies' Guide To Melbourne tonight and look for any Japanese restaurants as requested by Shaleen.... that book is seriously good man....
and can't wait for tomorrow when i can go to Queen Vic Market to get my cherries, peaches and nectarines. this will be my second last week to taste such nice fruits man.... after that two weeks, i'm flying home where peaches, nectarines and cherries are bloody expensive... must stuff my face tomorrow. just taht night, shafiq bought some cherries from St Kilda, the local ones and jin sern gave me some. you could see my whole face lit up the moment the cherry MELTED in my mouth. it was so sinfully sweet man and oh-so-refreshing. you can literally see me swoon man. it's that amazing. alright, at least it is to me... as i LOVE my fruits....esp the above three. during the beginning of the year, i bought nectarines and peaches by the armloads. it was in season and so dirt cheeeap. now it's back in season so *goes off dreaming into the distance*...... *happy sigh*

of othello and pictures...
now that is what i learnt from Eng Lit... didn't know the powers of persuasion is so complex. oh well, now i know how to get my way around things because different people need different rhetoric techniques to convince them of something. like say a military figure like our dear Othello can be manipulated using both logos and pathos at the same time....
ok, enough of Othello... shall just post pictures instead.....

me, janice and shaleen at our annual class picture day.... love these two girls... they are the two closest friends i have in melb....

the girls from Albert House. it's like one big family portrait man....

more pictures of the girls....

chris, qi and me....

tiana and me!! she along qiqi has tonnes of earrings man.....and they are both trying to convert me into wearing dangling chandeliar earrings which i absolutely detest!!!

me and shaleen in colour coordinated black and white outfits for the day....

now or never...
but heck, shouldn't be complaining coz my group is really good and they are tons of fun... and not to mention, drama itself is fun... you get to be someone else for a change and for once in your whole life, you get to live the experience of being watched... it's like the spotlight is on you for once in your life and i do mean it literally... and when you get up there, you feel gazes on you and when you hit the right spot with the right lines and right emotions, you feel the collective suck in their breaths, waiting for the next action....i guess it's the desired effect every actor on stage wants.... it's like we live for the moment, like we are living for the 8 minutes and then, it's over and there's nothing you can do about it....
but for me, the moment i'm on stage is like i get an adrenaline high... yes, i do get the jitters and i can see my hand shaking... but heck, you take a risk and put all your feelings out there and you know that you will be fine....
all i can say is that i'm thankful for my drama group coz without tze, nick, sujana and tiok nee, drama wouldn't be THAT fun...
so cheers to you, guys....
it's now or never....

wanted:fairy godmother
Then all i need is a wave of her wand and i'll be on my way to prom looking like i just stepped out of Vogue.

oh well....
where's a fairy godmother for hire when you need one??
top 5 prom movies
1) Never Been Kissed
2) A Cinderella Story (makes you wish for your very own Prince Charming!)
3) You've Got Mail
4) Howl's Moving Castle (this might be out of league here, but hey! it's a nice movie and you can never go wrong with Miyazaki! Miyazaki rules man!!)
5) The Green Mile (now this is WAY out of context here but heck, it's a great inspiring movie, makes you weep like hell!! maybe this should be an after prom movie, after all you don't want smudged mascara do you?)

T-B-N!!!
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!!
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*
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...
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
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....
14)....
hmmm... i think there are still more... but i'm hungry now so lunch for me now....

adults only please....
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....

daily grinds...
with a sense of nolstalgia (complete with blue font man).....
well, its IS the last term of TCFS and i would really really really MISS all the tutors and lectureres and my friends and not to mention, teh stupid long walk to royal parade that always kills my legs....
and also the maths lecture where Bell my maths lecturer would emit strange noises at intervals with his "cool maths show" and his Star Wars language....
well....
all there is to it is...
nome carpe diem....

term 4 cometh....
and my hand hurts like hell!!! sobz... from pulling mu super heavy Elle luggage.. i swear it was like *pull, drag, huff, puff, squeak* argh.... and i have just like moved it a few steps....and at the luggage carousel it took so darn long for my luggage to come down the roller thingy and there i was panicking at LOSING it and i came out like super early and tried to stand next to big burly guys so that i can ask them to get my luggage out of the carousel thingy if it was too heavy for me to do...hehe....i know, pretty sneaky....but hey, i got it down all on my own... wait a moment please.. *proud moment*.... sigh....
and the taxi queues were HORRENDOUS!! seriously, it was like office hour or something like that and apparently all the businessman (and women, itz the 21st century for goodness sake) were coming back from their domestic business flights.... and they looked so polished and chic in their all balck outfit, complete with steel metal case and matching serious expressions and in some cases, matching bald spots on their heads...hehe... from worrying abput the stock market too much i guess.... next time, i'm not coming back in the evening...will choose the super early ones or the midnight ones....
well, it was great to see everyone back again... yep, and i saw qiqi first and she was still as sweeet as ever except maybe thinner liao... *green eye monster descends in my shoulder now* so not fair lah... then saw shyanne and her newly bought jay chou cd...ey, qi, his new cd is nice lah and is so "mel" right?? and then i saw chris teo!! still as cool as ever lah....with her new abercombie and fitch tee and straight cut men's jeans...hehe....and we chatted about euthanasia (thatz mercy killing in laymen's terms)...i know, pretty heavy topic for a first day back at albert house right??? hehe....
oh well, term 4 cometh....

and of course, not forgetting RUI XI!!! the grandmother of the family who wants to get control over the family... she's so sweeet and cute but she managed to do this grandmother who is quite the conniving lady and manipulates her way through.... thanks for everything girl!!! we all love u loads, especially your son...hehe... i think nick prefers you to me loh... darn it...hehe...

that's rui xi with her white ah-ma hair.... doesn't she look grandmotherly??
and to tze meng: hugsie!! thanks for the music and stuff.. you did great and right on time too... and you were hot on the dance floor too with your moves and groove.... especially the last part... walau eh!! so shocking man!!hee....
yep, that's him and his super cute mini tie, looking darn glam and me at most mature look... skirt and ruffles for the mother....

the truth dazzles...
*screams*
breathe in breathe out... freaking out is not gonna help mel....
i hope people like our drama man... coz ours is so darn serious!! not likt tze meng's and tiok nee's ones... theirs are hilarious man!! can laugh till cry.... but ours is like *frowns* serious all the way coz we wanted to send the message that we should accept our family members for who they are and that the obsession for perfection wil cause the break up of our family. and yes, i'm the super control freak, super perfectionist mother who is so darn aggresive who later has a super break down... and nicholas is my poor hen-pecked husband....hehe... but at the end, he is like ultra scary with his shouting... i always jumped whenever he shouts even in practice.... and sujana is soooo funny man.... and nell is...well, nell.... he's teh cute guy in the drama.... my youngest son... and last but not least, rui xi is the cunning grandmother who wants power of the family....
well, it surely does SOUND serious in my blog....
well here goes man.... tomorrow....
now have to iron my shirt and skirt... and practice walking in my heels.....

date dress style?? HUH??
| Your Style is Sassy |
onto happier things...hee...
i never did know that they had such tests to gauge your DATE DRESS STYLE too!!
sassy.... i like....hehe... not sure whether this is accurate or not man...
i never did like...
1) the really demanding ones... (can't you just freaking be contented with what i can give you? coz if i do it your way, something's bound to go wrong.)
2) the really obnoxious, i'm-so-talented ones... (We know that you are talented but there's no reason to BROADCAST it... subtlety and modesty is the KEY!!)
3) the really ungrateful ones... (Those who do not even acknowledge my help is NO LONGER on my "to help" list....)
last of all...
4) the ones that think that they are being funny and having the time of their lives at the expense of others... (just because you are happy and having fun, it doesn't mean that others are... be considerate and think of others. people have feelings and emotions too. and think of the consequences please... put yourself in that person's shoes, for goodness sake!!)
i put up with them but one day, i might blow...
