VIRUS

Here I am sitting in Thuy Thuy's office and all i can see are pretty lil stars swirling and twirling like a tornado...and they twirl faster and faster..similar to the tornado in Kansas in Wizard of Oz. "There's no place like Home" 3X

Yikes, tiffy has officially gone mad. Actually, it's just preparation for tonite's Sarah Brightman concert!!Am bloody excited but this flu virus is also driving me nuts. Gotta make sure i take sufficient amount of panadols before leaving.Hmm...maybe some aloe vera green tea would do me some good...well i'm off to the city now neways...

he knew he was right

Aaarghh, been attacked by the flu virus, feel like crap at the mo and have like a ton of things to do, well i've managed to settle most of it. Now all's left is cleaning my room, but there's this nagging thot dat i've still got stuff i haven't done...oh man dats rite, go to jacky's hse to grab some t-shirts.

Was watching this brit mini-series last nite called He Knew HE Was Right and I'm thinking, why would u want to allow urself to die because u think a person doesn't trust u? i mean even though u love someone heaps, why would u let urself go because of a tiny little mistrust, but the funniest thing is that this dude Louis Trevelyan chose to not believe his wife and separated from her because of what society was saying and the thing is, society consisted of silly gossipy girls that know no better but to poke thier noses into other ppls business. Why do ppl value thier reputation and status in society so much that they are willing to give up their own happiness and of those they love...so strange. I suppose this was how the Brits lived in the olden days. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/netw/200406/highlights/230867.htm

But i guess this still happens in most chinese families, only this time it's not society we have to answer to but the extended family. God, when i look back and think of the times where i did something in order to gain my uncles' approval i feel so useless. It's like we children have no say in most of the family business and our achievments are constantly scrutinized by them. Sux...ok back to work.

The Prince & Me....i wish ;p

An hour has passed since watching the Prince & Me…so here I am sitting in my kaftan sipping crappy tasteless jasmine tea trying to hold on to the magic moments of that movie. Track 3 of Sun Yanzi's "The Moment" album helps quite a bit.

I'm in a huge dilemma at the mo, the question is...should i do body pump, combat, attack and the likes or pilates, yoga and body balance...pump and combat gives u an adrenaline rush (mostly cos of that linkin park song during the biceps exercise;p) but pilates and yoga keeps u tone and balanced and utilises the breathing technique which i think is brilliant!! Seriously! This is just the most genius thing ever, ok, let's say u're trying to stretch ur hamstrings; kinda like folding urself, at first u're all rigid and hurting but after using the yoga breathing technique, before u know it...ur head is touching ur knees!!! it's absolutely genius!ur muscles start relaxing and it's not as painful anymore.

see the thing is, pump and yoga contradict each other...and i feel as if my muscles are swollen and because of the rush i get from pump and combat, i'm refusing to go for pilates and yoga...so my flexibility is going down the drain and so's my posture...dilemma dilemma dilemma.(Ok I exaggerate..as per usual, i'm pretty sure there're other worst dilemmas) I've yet to find a balance between the two...

My lil nephew's team won the semi-finals in basketball today...Go TANGOS!!! GO Josh!!!, according to my mum, his shots were vert "cun". Hehe.

In the Prince&Me, Julia Stiles played this really independent woman character...she's one of the most brilliant actresses ever, apart from Ryoko Hirosue and Renee Zellweger that is..and a few others, um ashley judd? ok will quit rambling and get to the point,neways, i guess i;m able to relate to her more than the other actresses, prolly cos of her age..i mean 10 things i hate about u, as a teenager that is the ultimate movie man! i mean she's not really pretty and all but she's very ...charismatic? i don't know, she's just got character and intelligence, poise and most of all, she controls herself very well. But somehow in this movie, i dun think the scriptwriter did a good job in enhancing her character, i mean when the prince spouted romeo & juliet, since she's a chemistry student she could've countered wif soemthing intelligent yet scientific...instead of looking at him blankly...but overall it was pretty good. So very romantic, my sis couldnt' stop squealing with delight during the yummy scenes ;p Married women do indeed need more romance in thier life!hehe ;p

I'll be leaving for brissie soon, i'm kinda excited and yet...a bit sceptical on what's to come at conference but kudos to tedy and national exec for working so hard in organising it. I'm still frustrated with my team at the mo,whenever i talk to them i feel like "chong pek" (hitting a wall). So damn frustrating. Sigh, but like chaboh said, if u get thru it u're gonna be a better person for it...whatever it is, i've still gotta get thru it.

It's so good to hear that chaboh is back, but she'll be leaving on sun again...guess the job is pretty much semi-permanent. Neways, i hope to see her before leaving for brissie.

(Track 3 by Sun Yanzi is on replay)

Celebrated Mayni's belated berfday yesterday...was funny cos i almost blew it!!!As per usual, my name is Tiffany!!!Haih, thank goodness she was a but blur case as well...hehe, it was good seeing chrissie, nic, naomi and the bunch again, it's been ages since we've gone out. Mussels were yum and cheap as welll! Will definitely go to Young Joe's again ;p

Note to papa nic: hiehie, fyi, women don't talk enuf and the consequences of women not talking enuf is oppressed women...and i'm pretty sure u dun wanna talk to them!! ;p i'm glad dat we've concluded that blogs are good and interesting...hehe

OKies...dats all from me tonite...have 2 more letters to write and more yucky jasmine green tea to drink..why do i drink it u might ask...there aren't any other types of tea left!!!! ;p

matta ne

JUst got back from dine and sifu's place...Sayonara Dine and Sifu,am going to miss them sooo much,they've been ever so kind to me during the whole Mr P fiasco, honestly speaking i feel kinda bad about the whole thing, maybe i shouldn't have involved everyone...cos wat happened between the both of us was jus between the both of us, neways wats done is done...btw,dine and sifu's affogato is tops!!!so much better than Oriels, but the mango affogato...hehe, might need a couple more tries to get used to it ;p

Chaboh has found a job at gingin...sigh, am happie for her but sad as well cos she's gonna be leaving for almost a week if it's permanent...chaboh has been such a big part of my life it's kinda weird to not have her around..=( kenny, guess u and i are gonna have to wallow in misery for the next 2 weeks...make sure u remember to get her care bear!!hehe

YESSS!! Have finally finished watching SHota no Sushi, a jap drama on the art of making sushi, ok i dun reallie have an interest in sushi making but i do have an interest in Takashi Kashiwabara..hehe, soooo hansamu ;p jp dramas are awesome i tell ya, they try to get ur genki up and inspire u to make something out of ur life...not that there's much to make outta mine neways. What i learnt from the drama? hehe, how to make and taste sushI!! And i realized there are soooo many types of fish!!! to eat raw dat is...gawd, i sound like a first class bimbo, prolly am neways, air signs, what can u do...

So..it's bloody official, Curtin's IO will only focus on prospective international students starting from next sem, apparently they're trying to "amalgamate" the local and international students in order for them to learn more abt each other's culture...ahem, at the customer service queue? i dun think so, bloody customer service prolly won't care abt intl studs and will just brush them aside and if the students have poor english speaking skills...they prolly won't have the patience to take care of them and address thier worries. If we're all the same, why not make the fees the same hey? sounds about rite doesn't it?!!! aish...wat a load of crap from the uni...

the guilt is now catching up on me, i missed a neighbourhood alliances meeting this morn, wrote it in my diary but din bother to check diary since hols. Honestly, i am so sick of meetings and forums and all that other stuff...kristal wants a break where her mobile fone doesn't ring...me too, it's been a while since i've been able to do alone stuff..i seem to have lost the passion for representation, i dunno if it's becos of lack of communication wif my committee or...hmm, maybe i'm just sick of it all, gotta try and get Amy Tan's new book, The Opposite of Fate...been dying to read it...oh and Oyster, reveal urself...am at a loss at who u are ;p hehe...oyasumi!

A ChungKing Express Day

Pineapples and more pineapples, thats wat i've been eating for the past 2 days, been feeling reallie ChungKing express lately. Sun Yanzi and Faye Wong assisted greatly in creating the atmosphere. I'm now listening to a mixtape that moi fren Chris (Thanks babe!!!u da bomb!xoxo) created for me...first track..EX-Factor by Lauryn Hill. Speaks for itself doesn't it? Hehe, dat song gives me the goosebumps man.

Hehe, I've been receiving e-mails from frens about this blog of mine. A couple months ago i was one of those ppl dat criticised blogs...why would u want ppl to know ur thots? man, it's a bloody journal for goodness sakes, why on earth would u want other ppl to know what u're thinking. But of late i realized...i've got ppl who care about me who don't know what's going on in my life, wat better way to inform them than with a blog. To my precious letter receivers dun worry bout not getting letters from me, i shall still be writing to u from the bottom of my heart...just dun forget to reply! ;p Ryoko Hirosue and Faye Wong (Ex-Factor is on replay, more goosebumps and it's not just the freezing ISC office),these 2 characters are just so bloody fascinating, add Scarlett Johansson into it and u've got girl power from 2 powerful continents. HAve u seen ryoko's pics? SOulful eyes thats wat they are. Creamy skin, haunting voices (well, faye wong neways) and brilliant bone structure...wah lao. Sorrie, tiffy's infatuation is going overboard, i shall stop rambling about them. But they seem to have that inner strength dat i'm lacking greatly in these days...unfortunately body pump doesn't contribute to that.

I've recently started missing my old high school frens...my yamcha kaki!! Tat, ananth, kheky, pui kenn, Bal, gill, kae ee...oh man, i miss u guys..i was just looking at the pic we took last year and man...hehe, we're dorks i tell ya!! And i reckon we're gonna be dorks forever!! I miss having mamak at 11pm; drinking teh o' ais (kurang manis!), smoking lights, pouring verbal abuse at that mother f%^&*r (whoever it may be) and then proceeding to Latte@8...hehe then stopping by 7eleven to grab some smokes then doing the same bloody shit all over again. Man, I miss dat shisha..still hafta try the strawberry mint flavour!!

Hmm...i'll blame my dull mood on the friggin weather, it's like a stomach wif gastric, if u wanna bloody rain just rain..dun friggin rumble inside and not come out...making everyone else feel so uncomfortable man...okies...have to go off to a CBS meeting...such is life!
