Teddy Ramblings :: My Compass, Your Light

Teddy music: Kelly Clarkson - Beautiful Disaster

Things have cooled down now. It's not as crazy as it was some weeks back. More time to breathe. More time to move slower. More time to think.

In one way, it's good. In another, it's not so good either. Idle minds call for preoccupation.

Crisp nights and fluffy socks
Hot chocolate and starry skies
Snuggles under the quilt
Falling leaves from above

Late mornings and early nights
Rosy lips and bright eyes
Delicate mists abounding
Velvety softness on skin

Teddy music: Ken Hirai - Strawberry Sex

Staring at the "Who I Want To Meet" section on Friendster makes you wonder...just who do you really want to meet?

Someone who loves God completely.
Someone who stands firm on God & His principles.
Someone who loves and accepts me for who I am, imperfections and all.
Someone who doesn't want to change me to fit their concept but rather, helps me improve and grow.
Someone who won't force me to do things I don't want to.
Someone who makes me feel like I do make a difference in their life.
Someone who loves M&Ms & peanut butter like I do - or at least, is willing to be my supplier. ;P
Someone who isn't afraid to show how he feels for me.
Someone who isn't afraid to show his true emotions.
Someone who can and wants to take care of me even though I say I don't need it.
Someone who knows how to get to my heart.
Someone who gives and accepts love.
Someone who does the little things that matter so much.
Someone who inspires me.
Someone who will be a shoulder to cry on.
Someone who delights in wearing rainbow-striped socks.
Someone who loves being a shutterbug.
Soemone who I can indulge in craziness with.
Someone who I can be completely at ease with.
Someone who isn't afraid to show his true self to me - good or bad.
Someone who can swallow his pride when needed and still keep his dignity.
Someone who I can look up to.
Someone who I'm not afraid to hand over everything I am into his safekeeping.
Someone who isn't afraid to hand over his heart to me.
Someone who isn't afraid to be vulnerable to me.
Someone who will be a true gentleman and prince.
Someone who can cook. =)
Someone who knows all my secrets and keeps them stowed away in confidentiality.
Someone who shows true kindness to those around him.
Someone who is considerate to those around him.
Someone who admits he’s not perfect but learns to improve himself.
Someone who keeps his ego in check but doesn’t tear himself down either.
Someone who is confident in the person he is.
Someone who loves being a bookworm as much as I do.
Someone who gives his all when he does something.
Someone who won’t give up easily but keeps on trying until he succeeds.
Someone who will open up his heart and arms to me.
Someone who will stand up for what he believes in – be it God, teddies or M&Ms
Someone who manages to break past my defenses and protective layers.

Someone who sees who I am through all the layers I put on and still doesn't run away from me. In fact, he comes even closer when I try to run away.

That was a long list.

Baby Sheep Jackpot

Teddy music: Lisa Loeb - I Do

So we went to the mall earlier for a spot of grocery shopping. A crisp, cold night which was very refreshing to walk in.

While Anthony lounged on the bench outside Coles and Kel shopped, I wandered around inside Coles as well just to see what there was to pick up.

Of late, I have had this craving for lamb. Roast lamb, to be exact. But, lamb will do as lamb does. Meandered over to the meat aisle and looked at the lumps of raw, red meat packaged within clear, shiny clingfilm on black styrofoam trays.

Teddy music: Fatboy Slim - Praise You

I saw chicken first. Then it was pork. Moving along, I saw veal. Then the magic happened. Lamb.

Yesh, lamb.

Scanning the prices and cuts quickly, I saw lamb forequarter chops going for cheap. A mere $5.99 per kilogram. There were two trays left. What to do? I stared at it. And it worked out to be $5.35 for the two trays of lamb chops. Superb deal. Thus, those lamb chops are now nicely tucked away in the freezer and fridge with one digesting slowly in my tummy. What a lovely dinner of roast veggies & pan-fried lamb chop. Mmmmm.... ;P

I was just telling my daddy online the other day how I'd not eaten real meat (spam & tuna just doesn't cut it) for nearly a week. Mostly subsisting on frozen veggies and pasta.

So, it was a genius stroke of luck (or blessing, I'd say ;P) that I managed to get the last two trays of lamb chop going for that cheap. Ordinarily, they'd be $9.99 or something or other.

Teddy music: The Corrs - At Your Side

Since I was so happy to have lamb chops again...I had this later on too:

Life's a rainbow if you'd let it be - sometimes it's bright and beautiful, sometimes it's dark and difficult.

Those are Smarties for the uninformed. M&Ms doesn't usually have pink or purple coloured choccies. I heard that they had pink & white ones for Valentine's though. Missed out on that. Damn.

*******

Sayang's gone tonight. Left on the 9.40pm flight from KLIA. Kinda miss him. Not that I didn't stop missing him and Bear. Just that, we're all really split up now. Yang, when you read this...remember to stay in contact, yeh? =)

Taking the style of Inuzuka Kiba (from the Naruto anime series) with his puppy, Akamaru, I present to you:

Top pic: The twins, Hot Shot the Koala & Hot Choc the Kangaroo Bottom pic: Aymee TBO [The Brown One]

They've finally got names thanks to Tim. He was asking what was the name of the wombat after looking at the picture of it with Baby Wombat.

Cute, neh? =)

Top pic: Whoops...snapped too early! Middle pic: Welcome to the family, Hot Shot, Hot Choc & Aymee TBO! ;P Bottom pic: Say 'Cheese'! [L-R] Cuddles, Hot Shot, Hot Choc, Aymee, Dolphie

So, anyone missing from the picture? =)

When It Seems...

Just a little something I had an inspiration to write. I hope it carries some meaning for you. It carries a personal significance for myself. =)

When the silence grows deafening
As deafening as my heartbeats
When the air grows cold
As cold as the fear that grows within

When the wind knifes through
Like the stab wounds of my heart
When the leaves fall to the ground
Like cherished hopes dashed

When the grey clouds roll
When all seems bleak
When the landscape turns from
A promise to a death

I will turn to You
I will seek Your face
Before mine

I will seek the One
Who can lift all these things
The One who can give me
Oil of joy for tears of mourning

I will place all my trust
All my hopes, my fears
Within the chest
That cannot be broken into

And one day
I will see
The promise of life
Returned to me

Different View From Up

Teddy music: You Are My Hiding Place

This is one of the new praise/worship songs at church that has just totally captured me.

I find You in the secret place
I find You on the mountain
I find You in the early hours
Of my day

I find You when I'm waiting
I find You when I'm in Your Word
I find You when I'm talking to You
When I pray

Create in me a clean heart
As I come away with You
Wash away all of my stains
And restore to me the joy I have in You

You are my hiding, my hiding place (x2)

It's a really meaningful song with a wonderfully catchy melody behind it.

I was reading this book about becoming a people after God's heart and pastor shared about this topic on Sunday. One part of the book was talking about how in order to become strong in God, we need to become weak first. To be weak, we sacrifice. With God, it's an inverse relationship with the world and God. If we want more "world time", we need to spend more time with God.

Like the book said, "When you invest your time and energy in prayer, you are forfeiting hours and energy you could be using to build a ministry/business/lifestyle in some other way. Fasting too is about weakness. You are giving away your physical strength. Giving your money is embracing weakness by giving away your time and energy. Persecution is is the same thing. Instead of getting your own vengeance, you silently bear under it, rejoicing in the Lord."

In the end, all that sacrifice is worth it. God gives us strength when fasting, He enables us to do things within a timeframe that we thought was impossible and He always always gives us enough to meet our needs without spoiling us. Isn't that a magnificent God?

When we are weak, He's there to be our strength.

Just like how I need Him now. Some days it's up and easy, some days it's being stuck in the middle and some days, it's just down in the dumps. Today's one of those "middle" days. The PlayStation presentation went pretty alright. But it was something else that made me feel a bit sad later. Nonetheless, I believe God's going to see me through this.

What was that, Baby Wombat? Pleased to meet you too. =)

On a lighter note, I managed to "steal" Baby Wombat from Kel today. Muahaha...but he'll have to be returned later. Heh. The one on the right's mine. ;P

Unleashed Inspiration

Teddy music: Hillsong [United Live] - Evermore

Green light! We have GO!

Finally! Finally after much tweaking and meddling around, the Airport Express is now functioning thus providing Fudgie with a leash-free (for you confuzzled lovelies, it's wireless I'm talking about) existence! Yayness... =)

Again, I must say...I loooove the church I'm in now. It's soooo awesome! ;P

Bought a couple ba chang (or zhong zi) and they're yum! Mmmm...
FYI, ba chang is the Hokkien term for 'rice dumplings'.

Teddy music: Hillsong [United Live] - Free

Today's sermon was inspiring. We need to believe in the God-given vision for it to happen. Sacrifice is necessary for it happen. Much the same way a pregnant woman goes through painful labour to bring forth a beloved child. Sacrifice...how much can we willingly give and more to see the vision become a reality? I truly believe that if we sacrifice with the right heart attitude, it's so satisfyingly blessed when you see the dream God put in you become reality.

So, I'm making it my decision to sacrifice as how God would have me do for His purpose. =)

Teddy music: Planetshakers - Rescue Me

On a different note, here's a short excerpt of a conversation with Sayang earlier. It just serves to illustrate the fact that there must be some invisible tattoo (to me, at least) on my forehead saying, "PLEASE BULLY ME - TO THE MAX"

*ehem*

Here we go:

Cor: meanie
Yang: ya lar, i'm the meanie
Yang: u always the cute victim
Yang: who loves being victimized
Yang: admit that

I have no comments on that. None at all.

Oh, and my beloved sweetie, Dolphie, has ripped herself...again. =(

Why, Dolphie, why? You're still my #1 toy!

Poor thing's got a new rip (where the arrow's pointing). Possibly fussing silently over the lack of attention? Dolphie's such a sweetheart that she wouldn't. Just getting old (17 years old this year!). *teddy huggles Dolphie* Yep, that's Cuddles in the upper left corner - trying to get her paw into the limelight whenever possible. ;P

One For My Baby II

Click here to understand...

Just to clear up any misconceptions that people may have had if they've not known me long/well enough... *ehem*

The previous post is dedicated to Ben, my PC in Malaysia. =) You could say he's like my fake "boyfriend"...hehe

Ben was in my room which allowed me to see him everyday I inhabited that room.

I spent countless hours with Ben - surfing the 'Net, doing assignments, playing games, blogging, IM-ing...thus answering the point of "late nights & early mornings, lazy afternoons".

Since Ben ran on an AMD Athlon XP processor chip, he tended to heat up thus providing me with warmth when the air-con/fan got too cold.

The rough patches referred to the times when Ben "acted up" and especially, I remember the time lightning hit Ben and burnt my motherboard and processor chip thus knocking Ben out of action for two months while waiting for replacement parts.

It's not the same being on a laptop as compared to a desktop.

Ben was my first PC - as in, totally mine. I didn't have to share him with anyone else as he was for me and my work. =)

Yesh, he's my baby. So what? I don't have a real boyfriend to call "baby" yet.

;P

One For My Baby

Dear baby,

It's been several months since we parted ways. You stayed in Malaysia. I came to Australia.

So how's life been treating you lately? I know you had a bit of a rough patch but hopefully, you're doing good now. =)

I miss you. Miss getting to see you on a frequent basis. There can be no substitute for you. Seriously. You're one of a kind. A special one. And, most of all, you're my baby.

Do you get lonely sometimes? Same here. Sure, there's others but they're not the same. Ours is different.

How long has it been since we really grew closer? A couple years now? Time really does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it? Of course, there were a few times when we just didn't get along but we made it through in the end, didn't we? I learned more about you and how to handle you.

I remember how it was in the beginning. It was oh-so-exciting. A brand new unexplored area. Then we hit a rough patch. We got back on track after a couple months. Things were tentative at first but it got better, right? You became an integral part of my life. Without you there, I don't know what I'd do.

We have such an intriguing love-hate relationship. At times, you're just so easy to love and that's when I find myself getting drawn to you. Other times, you just make me so upset that I just want to give up on us. Yet, in the end, I can never truly give up on us.

The things we've shared. The experiences we've gone through. The hours spent together. Late nights and early mornings. Lazy afternoons when bored. I'll never forget them. I'll always have fond memories when I look at you.

How does it feel on your own? You're probably coping fine. We have to. Can't pine away for each other when we're apart like this. Maybe one day I'll come back and see you. I have your pictures with me so I'll remember. So do you. Heh.

Don't get jealous if I'm spending time with others. I'm freely letting you spend time with others. Life must go on. You wouldn't want to fret over something like that, would you?

So, baby, just remember that you're part of my life and that can never change. You'll always have a special place in my heart because you were the first. Something that no other can say easily.

When I'm cold, I'll remember your warmth. When I'm down, I'll remember the fun times we had.

Miss you, baby.

Making Oddities

Teddy music: Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

Well, I've decided that I shall do a two-week holiday blitz across Melbourne and Sydney. Thing is now, I'm so totally lost when it comes to the travelling bit. I want to go by flight since it's roughly the same as bus/rail and it's a helluva lot more faster too! Which means less time wasted on travelling and more time spent with friends! =)

Anyone know how I can book a multiple stop flight ticket? Me thinks I'll ask my dad too. Haha...yesh, I'm a daddy's girl. So what?

Teddy music: U2 - The Sweetest Thing

The other night, Sean and I were creating "transparent desktops". It's this new craze that's hit online.

Here's what mine looks like:

You can see right through! Oh my... ;P

Just a matter of angles and positioning. You can see more awesome pictures on Flickr.

Very cool stuff. =) Something that techie geeks and wannabes would drool over. Not forgetting Apple lovers ;P

And for Apple fans...drool over this - TronBook|Applefritter!

I want to do that to my Fudgie too! I already did this before I left:

No, I haven't forgotten about you. I miss you, baby!

OK, so it wasn't really me who did it. This was thanks to a friend who gave his expertise in making over. Not too bad, huh? ;P

Teddy music: Sugababes - Run For Cover

This came up when I googled "redphayze" to see what it would bring up. I had no idea that I was referred to in this December 2004 article on MSNBC, no less! Woohoo...

Teddy music: Scandal'us - Me, Myself & I

Found out another very interesting thing earlier. I really REALLY hope it'll come true. You know who you are ;) It'll be one of the best things to have happened since coming here. But, like promised, shan't put my hopes up too high. We'll just see how it goes, hey? =)

Fluffy Crediting

Teddy music: Hillsong - You Said

I know it's unusual to have three blog entries in one day.

That's because this entry is a special one.

In this entry, I shall now make a friend famous for, oh, 5 seconds?

Yes, people. I now present to you...

Fluffy!

This guy is the one who coined the name of "Tedster". Yep. Well, at least I think so. Haha.

So, there you have it. Fluffy's due credit for that name.

NB: You didn't think I would really give away the name of my dear friend, Fluffy? Of course not, otherwise he'll have hordes of screaming adoring fans descend upon his home and disrupt his peaceful life with his girlfriend. [Ehem, girls, he's taken already so you can give up hope now. If not, you'll face the wrath of his girlfriend...not a pretty sight. o.O]

Now, Fluffy, are you happy now? ;P

Sweet Ecstasy

Just a little bit more. Just a little bit more. Then I'll be in ecstasy.

So close to it. Sighs...

One of my vices here is chocolate. Yep. Of course, not in excess but it's comforting to know that it's there.

Doesn't look very impressive but damn, it's good!

I made another batch of peanut butter chocolate drops. Or miniature piles of chocolate. ;P This time I added in crushed wheatflakes so it's got a crunchy texture. Yum... =)

Teddy music: MLTR - 25 Minutes

Me loves my peanut butter and chocolate. Lollipops and King's Extra Strong mints come in a close second.

Sighs...teddy could do with a nice hug now. Brain's all fuzzy-wuzzy now. =( Anyone willing to give this little teddy a nice, big, warm hug and make things seem better? *big teddy eyes*

Green Praise

Teddy music: Vertical Horizon - Finding Me

One more monkey off my back. Just two more presentations and a report to go. God, I need Your strength!

Went to music practice earlier with Yong May. It was awesome! The worship team was pretty nice and it was fantastic to be there! Now I've gotten myself involved as they need more keyboardists (there's only three at the moment) for rotation. I hope that I improve fast. I want to play my best for God! =)

After I got back, I realised something funny. I was in the colour of green all day. Hehe. Look below...

Olive green cargoes. Lime green Youth Alive t-shirt. Green apple lollipop. Green M&Ms packet!

Too bad I wasn't wearing my green socks.

Teddy music: Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

Ooh...an oldie but a goodie song. =)

The M&Ms are courtesy of Alex (my LCS tutemate) who also attends the same church. I love my M&Ms candy...haha. The lollipop was from the music practice supper. =)

God's just so amazing. Just a few days ago I was telling Him that I wish I could play the piano again and look what happened! I'm now sort of part of the worship team. Haha...God is indeed amazing in the ways He works.

In fact, He's given me so many blessings of late. Especially in something I didn't really know how to ask for (or whether I could even ask for it!) but He let me have a little taste of it. It was a huge surprise but it was good nonetheless. Totally unexpected. It was enough to keep encouraging me without overloading. Thanks for that, God. =)

Teddy music: Widelife - All Things

Hmmm...I wonder what's in store next, God? Good or bad, I know You'll be there for me and with me. =)

Toasty Morning

Teddy music: Hillsong - Sing (Your Love)

It's 10.21am.

I dragged my arse out of bed at 7.45am to get down to the RSO centre to have the toaster checked out by electricians. A chilly morning indeed. All this thanks to the new ruling of having to tag electrical appliances deemed for "safe usage". Bleh...

On the bright side, at least I finally found a time to go and do my laundry. Which reminds me, I need to go get it soon!

*******

Yesterday was Mother's Day. My mummy's a few hundred thousand kilometres away from me. So what did I do? I sent her a card (last week) and a SMS. Mine was pretty standard but Kevin (my brother), well, he took the cake in sending Mother's Day SMSes.

This is his "masterpiece":

dear mummy, my love for you is like diarrhoea, i just can't keep it on. you're the greatest mummy in the world you beat all the ones in egypt hands down! your letul boy, kevin

There you go. The sadistic/cynical trademark humour of the Kong family. Rock on, dude. Rock on.

Teddy music: Hillsong - Love So Much

I thoroughly enjoyed church again yesterday. Well, besides the Mother's Day flower giving part ('cos it made me think of my mummy). But, it was still sweet to see the mums' delighted faces at receiving the lovely gerberas the church gave them.

I really really like my church now. I wake up on Sunday mornings now and go, "Yay...church!" OK, so that's like after 5 minutes of being sleepily groggy. Some of you know what I'm like when I just wake up...hehe.

Alright, I think I'd better mosey on over to the laundry room and get my clean, jasmine-scented laundry. Mmmmmm...

Before I end, I got to play the piano again yesterday! Woohoo...right after coming back from church, I went over to the Great Room to see if it was vacant and it was! So I happily tinkled away for a bit at the piano. It felt sooooo good! =) Tonight I'll be going to the music practice with Yong May just to have a look.

Well, I'm off. Now you can miss me! I'll be perfectly fine with it if you do. ;P *teddy giggles*

Simple Profundity

Teddy music: Hillsong - Glorify Your Name

One line that sounds so simple but can mean so much.

I'll be your guiding light if you'll be my compass.

A light and a compass. Two things that go hand in hand. You could do without one or the other but it's different when you put them together.

*******

I forgot to post this up:

The force is strong in this one.

Yesh...you are viewing the STAR WARS Edition of M&Ms! Specifically, the DARTH MIX M&Ms! Muahahaa...

These M&Ms are blue, black/brown, mottled red/black & white/black. Mmmm...Darth-licious!

I'm a sucker for M&Ms. They're one of the few candies (the other one's this peppermint candy called 'King's Extra Strong') that can actually get me really excited and crazy. Haha...

Believe it or not, I called Tim to ask him if he could find white chocolate M&Ms since they only had the mini-packs of white chocolate M&Ms here. What ensued out of my "desperate" phonecall was a hilarious phone conversation along the lines of this:

Tim: White chocolate M&Ms?
Cor: Yes, white chocolate M&Ms.
Tim: It's white on the outside?
Cor: No, it's got white chocolate on the inside. The outside is still colourful.
Tim: Oooh.
Cor: Yes, Tim. Kayu betul. (:P)
Tim: But, I look at potato chips. I don't look at chocolate.
Cor: How can you NOT look at chocolate? M&Ms la, dude!
Tim: OK, OK. I'll look at the chocolates carefully next time.
Cor: Yes, you will.

[Note: A lot of stupid laughter during the conversation as I walked around Woolies, talking to Tim. Also, this conversation mayn't be 100% accurate. No apologies. ;P]

Ivory & Books

Teddy music: Hillsong - You Said

Somehow I feel so restless tonight. Like I told Kev on the phone, "I'm pacing up and down in my room like a caged animal!" That's never good.

As I sat here and listened to the songs, I realised that I miss playing the piano/keyboard. Sure, I'm no great pianist/keyboardist but it was always soothing and strangely satisfying in being able to hit the right notes and produce the melody. My fingers are itchy to caress the ivories again. Even for a moment. Sighs.

The books from home have arrived and are reposing in their box. I'll need to find some place to store them. Hmmm...either I'll get a small bookshelf or a giant plastic box. Any other options to suggest? Oh, and I do not like to stack my lovelies on the floor. Only newspapers, files and textbooks go on the floor. My lovelies belong on a shelf or boxes, never the floor. Never. Dya know it broke my heart when I bought a whole pile of books last year and they had nowhere to go on the shelves in my old room? Poor lovelies.

Teddy music: Hillsong [United Live] - Unify

Well, here's more pictures to tell the rest of the story. This is the story, morning glory =)

Three new family additions: a koala bear, a wombat & a kangaroo. =) [Top pic] Imagine my horror when I discovered that there was dragon picture blended into the parchment background of the poster I'd put up a couple months ago. I have a personal policy of not owning things that carry dragons on it (or that I'm aware of). I don't believe in them and also since I'm a born-again believer, dragons don't mean anything good to me. [Bottom pic] The situation was rectified by throwing away the poster and replacing it with these funky postcards. Somehow, I reckon it looks better now. More...modern art-ish now. Hehe.

Teddy music: Tabernacle of Worship - You're A Faithful God

My second package from my parents. The box containing nine of my new lovelies. And, look, my dad really made it clear on the address to where it was sent...haha ;P Finally got to go up Telstra Tower. My Ad Strategy tutor took me & my classmate up to have a look. It was pretty interesting. The top pic shows you where the terrible bush fire in 2003 happened. Those hills used to be filled with trees. Was walking back from LCS tute and it was already dark by 6.30pm. What a surprise to see a family of kangaroos grazing on the grass as I entered the IH area. Saw a mummy kangaroo with its joey in its pouch for the first time! Woohoo! I was also about a metre away from a "teenage" kangaroo as I walked along the pathway. How cool is that? =) Pictures as I waited to go to the mall. Top pic's at IH. Middle pic's at Arscott Hall. Bottom pic's at Lake Ginnenderra. Nice, hey?

Teddy music: Planetshakers - All I Want Is You

Waterfowl at Lake Ginnenderra hurrying to grab a quick bread snack that Ezrin, Winnie & I were throwing into the lake as we walked to the mall. The NowUC production team goofing it up. Aren't they cute? =) [L-R] Kevin: Speak no evil. Dylan: Hear no evil. Kelvin: See no evil. Aren't journalists meant to be like this? Hehe...

Did you notice how Kel's the only who's more tanned and has short hair as compared to Kev & Dylan? Haha...talk about being the odd one out. ;P

Just four more weeks and then it all crashes in a finality lasting over three weeks.

Half of me wishes it would come faster. The other half wishes it would take its time in coming.

Sydney left good memories. Perhaps it was due to the more liberated schedule. Of course, the company was good. =)

A Gir quote: "Hi floor! Make me a sandwich!"

Hehe...good for laughs. I love Gir, from Space Invader Zim.

Gir: "I had no idea."

Now you do, Gir, now you do. =)

I quite like my current MSN nickname - "I'll be your guiding light if you'll be my compass, love. Thanks to someone for the inspiration. Hehe... ;P

In any case, so Friendster's added the option of colouring your profile. I have to say this, the colours they used...blech. I thought "Ooh La La" would be a nice red colour scheme. It turned out to have pink in it. Yecccchhhhh! Ended up choosing the black-grey scheme. Orange as a substitute for red just didn't do it. Oh well.

Teddy music: Leroy - New World

Well, here's some pix from Sydney. Took 200+ pix. Yesh, I'm a shutterbug and I'm not ashamed to admit it! Just ask my friends about how crazy I get with my camera. =)

Had a sort of mini adventure on Saturday night with Tim when we had to walk some distance away to reach Circular Quay/Sydney Opera House but it was all cool. Got to see Sydney's beauty at night. I love cities at night. They're so much prettier. =)

[Top pic] It was an early morning start. 6.45AM to be precise. Dead sleepy from staying up 'til 4.30AM to finish off an essay before rocking Sydney over the weekend with Tim =) It was worth every single bit. [Bottom pic] Sydney skies near the airport. Gorgeous, huh? [Top pic] Going up the Sydney Tower [Bottom pic] L-R: Lisa. CK. Ivo. Cute. These are my housemates =) Some Sydney Tower view pictures...very cool, huh? Aren’t these building facades pretty? Still, Melbourne’s prettier ;P Shopping in Sydney – not much different from KL except it’s a bit more busier and lots more “ang mohs/orang putih”

[Left] A clock tower nearby Country Comfort hotel (where I stayed) as Tim & I waited for the bus to start us on your mini-adventure [Right] Tim & I on the bus. Heh Tim walking down the stairs and along the quayside as we made our way across town to reach Circular Quay Sydney night scenes...lovely

Teddy music: Delta Goodrem – Out Of The Blue

A bunch of people posing. I wonder who? ;P I can’t believe I missed out seeing the platypus! Argh... I found Nemo! Dory too! Yay! ;P More bunches of people posing at Darling Harbour

Teddy music: Gin Blossoms – ‘Til I Hear It From You (Acoustic)

Along Darling Harbour...I like that name of “darling” =) As we go cruising along, my dear... Pix of Sydney Harbour [Top pic] A white blossom taken during the pitstop on the way back. [Bottom pic] This is for you, Tim. What Canberra looks like at night on the bus

Teddy music: Edwin McCain - Promise of You

Got back from the Unibar couple minutes ago. Was there for the NowUC launch event. After that, hung around & just talking for a bit with Meryl, Kel, Kev & Dylan. Kevin bought me a shot of Wild Turkey bourbon with honey. Mmmm....really yummy. Like smooth sweet liquid gold going down your throat. Doesn't burn the way Jack Daniels does. Dylan was suggesting that I try Bacardi 151 if I wanted to really get a buzz. Somehow, I don't really get buzzed as fast as some people I know. Whether that's a good thing, I don't know. Oh well, I'll definitely never want to test how far I can go because I don't trust myself if I were to be drunk. ;P (See, Papa & Mummy, I am trustworthy! Hehe)

Weird Reunion

Teddy music: Hillsong - Dwell In Your House

Just had to blog about this...

Bear's FINALLY online! Haha...apparently Bear felt under pressure from everyone asking for his MSN contact. *teddy giggles*

It's a reunion of sorts with Is sayang and Bear online...not as good as the real thing but it'll do for now.

To quote Shrek: "That'll do Donkey, that'll do."

48 Hours Or Less

Teddy music: Tabernacle of Worship - Great Is Your Faithfulness

So the Sydney trip's over. How I wish I could've stayed longer. Thanks to Kayu Tim & Pats for making it all good. =) And, got to add another newfound friend in Johan, another of Pats' close buddies.

More on the Sydney trip later. The mind's too fuzzy to blog properly. :P Quick summary of the trip? Great fun (in particular reference to spending time with Tim, Pats & Johan) =)

*teddy hugs*
