HOLIDAYING!!!!!!

realised i haven't been updating my blog for quite some time....oh well, it can't be help.....i'm constantly not at home!!!!haha.....guess i'll do a brief summary of what i've done so far....

18.06.2007 - met up with Ying in city for lunch.....did a bit of shopping then we went to Chinatown to buy stuffs.....at night met up with fellow Unilinkers for dinner at 小台北 for steak

19.06.2007 - went to Gold Coast for haircut....was late due to traffic jam....but the 4 of us still manage to get our haircuts.....wanted to eat at Yamasakura but they close on mondays & tuesdays....so we ate ramen instead.....went to pick up my bro on the way back n we went Manors for supper cos my bro hasn't had dinner

21.06.2007 - saw my housemate & neighbours going out early in the morning....felt kinda sad that they did not invite me along....they came back at about 5pm and started preparing for steamboat dinner....i offered to help but they chase me out of the kitchen...till then i still didn't suspect anything....dinner went of well....it's a really nice weather for steamboat......my phone rang while i was washing the dishes...due to poor reception in the unit, i went out to answer the call...when i'm done, realised they locked my out of the unit....when they finally let me it, the house was pitch dark....was being led to the kitchen n asked to close my eyes...finally they led me to the living room n there i saw a CAKE!!!!then i realised why they didn't invite me out to city and why they refuse to let me help out with dinner preparation.....they actually planned a surprise birthday celebration for me!!!!!i was super touched....they also made a nice scrap book for me.....filed with pictures (taken during the semester) and words!!!!everything's handmade.....felt really touched!!!!

22.06.2007 - 24.06.2007: the bunch of us set off for Sunshine Coast.....visited the various factories...we also went to the Eumandi Market and strawberry picking....we had so much fun at the strawberry farm.....the strawberries are super sweet & cheap as well.....cos we have 9 people, so we need to pick at least 2kg, which costs us $20...a pretty decent price considered we pick and eat at the same time...haha...on our way back, we had dinner at Hanaichi, together with Thomas' friends.....

26.06.2007 - 28.06.2007: went down to Gold Coast again...this time we had activities well planned...supposed to go to Movie World on the first day, but it was raining heavily so we decided to go to Harbour Town for shopping....i bought the Ripcurl Jacket that i saw at DFO...cos it's one size bigger, i don't really look as kiddy as before...i only joined the crowd for Dreamworld and brief shopping at Pacific Fair....didn't join the rest of the activities due to financial constraints....i'm left with $400 to last till 19.07.2007.....must really try to watch my spending...haha

02.07.2007 - celebrated Jaslyn's birthday.....foongyee and i actually talked about how we gonna celebrate her birthday...we plan to prepare a home cook meal for her with all her favourite dishes since we've been eating out quite often...however, she didn't update me the details....at about 830pm, Weng came over to ask us go over to Yee's unit for dinner but Jaslyn's still in the shower...after showering, she went straight into her room and went to sleep...took us quite a while to wake her up....Yee, together with her friends, prepared various delicious dishes for Jaslyn....and they also got her caramel for dessert and a cheese cake for her birthday!!!if Yee ask me to go over to help, Jaslyn would have known about the dinner....it's another successful birthday dinner surprise

03.07.2007 - headed down to Sydney.....really thankful to Weng who helped me carry my luggage from home to the train station......the flight journey was rocky but thank God i managed to arrive safely.....Belinda (cousin) picked my up at the airport....met Isabella when we reach home...she's super adorable & sweet!!!!!had to converse with her in English cos i can't speak Cantonese.....

04.07.2007 - decided to stay at home today and rest.....results was out this morning...really had to thank God for the good results He has given me...really unexpected.....especially i feel i've screw up my exams....think i'll meet up with Jess tomorrow..looking forward for Dr Spence's conference starting this Sunday....

think that's about it....a brief summary became a super long post!!!haha....will try to upload pictures when i get them from my friends
