The Truth behind My Summer Love

made me feel as if the tunes of The Seventh Night of July conducted by Casey has just ended with a fermata...

On my first afternoon home, I had all my prawn cravings dimsum in this nice restaurant... After that, I couldn't believe I actually spent 3 hours in Kinokuniya. At the end of my stay there, I finally allowed myself to buy, one book! =) Just one! which I think it's a pretty good thing. To not be greedy. This is because I know that this very season would be the only season I would engage in so much of reading, as compared to the 3 other seasons...autumn, winter and spring.

I am currently reading, Once I was a Princess by Jacqueline Pascarl. I strongly believe that they've ban this book here, in my country. I have no evidence that this is the case, it's just a feeling I supposed. By I went to check out and they're not selling this book anymore.

To be dead honest, I am very disappointed to how close-minded this nation is. Thanks to the constant reminder of how certain issues are not meant to be discussed and often labelled as SENSITIVE which I personally think shouldn't be the way, most youths are either unaware or couldn't be bothered over things that had happened/ is currently happening.

As much as I would like to discuss this book openly, I rather not risk anything here. I am halfway through the book but as I read, I have lots of opinions toward how things were dealt with. =) I am looking forward to meet someone who've also read that, to share my opinions openly. I think I am missing those intellectual dialogues...but will soon engage in some!

Till then, happy CNY.

:: The Prelude ::

My student visa has finally been approved! YESTERDAY!

My life in Australia has been somewhat a mystery in the past two years. That's why I've decided to blog here. Well, quite a hassle but it's a way to really keep in touch I suppose. For my friends to be able to be part of my life despite the miles apart! The truth is, I'll be here for another 2 years for my studies. So there you go. I know it might sound kinda sad to know things via a person's blog when you can actually chat with the person.. but I am not a very MSN person. I prefer writing. Email has been somewhat uninteresting in a way. It depends but generally, no. Blog would perhaps be a better solution, so here I am trying this out.

I really don't have much to say at the moment, except ... I need some book vouchers. ANY. Borders, MPH. Popular. I want to buy some books with the cheapest deal I could get. Lately, I've been spending time reading in Borders, killing some time happily. If you just happened to know any cheap book deals, kindly drop me a comment? Deeply appreciated! =)

Happy Chinese New Year!

:: Boxing Day ::

Shopping on boxing day is something that I've always been looking forward to. Though shopping is not really a very healthy culture but at times, it's really fun! =) Waking up in the morning has been very difficult since I last woke up early. To my surprise, I was actually able to wake up so early to catch the one of the earliest bus to the city. The crowd is simply amazing.

The queue at the cashier at 9am when the shops just opened, is unimaginably long! In the arvo, shopping with such crowd is just too exhausting for me. Nevertheless, I managed to grab quite a lot of stuff. Not just for me, but for my beloved BROTHER! =) I've got quite a lot of stuff for you, though u insisted it's OK! Brother, you know how much I love buying you things!

Haha, luckily I only have ONE brother. =) I hope he'll buy me tickets to Sound of Music/ Les Miserables~ I love that one!

Thanks to Shu~ =) I am updating this one. No motivation really... but I miss her sitting on the couch with her korean songs playing. I miss those times when I could just greet her with lots of talking whenever I am home! =) I am sure she's doing pretty good now though...

Enough said... enjoy the pictures! Brother, i hope you're reading this!

My favourite Elmo shirt is finally on sale. Finally!
I am still very much of a T-shirt and denim skirt/pants kinda girl!
This is so lovely! =)

I've got a matching necklace/chain to it! @_@
I'm a normal girl too. My 3rd pair of heels in my entire life! =)
Shu, I still love this one very much! =)


Bro~ this is for you, you better fit into it well! @_@

I really think it's a bit big but it should be ok...

You have to see this! 100% cotton!
My bro loves and only wear 100% cotton!

From cotton on... as long as there's a cotton word to it =)
it's cotton! *i presumed*
All for you!!! =)
