And Today I'm 22

Yay !!!

I've just passed another May 16 of my life !!!
This time sort of a really different one, though !!!
Cuz am so far away from my hometown !!!
Am celebrating my 1st ever bday outta
my country - at Perth !!!

With balloons, sunflowers, a really cute
hand-drawn fish by my flatmate ~ Shu Duan !!!
Manage to spot all 3 of us in the balloon ???

And also yummy pastries from Corica !!!

Thanks to my wonderful girls !!!
Some other were missing tho ^.^

Getting my first ever 'real' sunflowers a spot @ Room 2 !!!

And not forgetting a picture with hubby on my bday !!!
See, who says we can't have photos together when we're apart?

Sunflowers are love
They sit comfortably at a corner of my windows.
It just feels so great to wake up to sunflowers !!!

The girl & her sunflowers

Cindy's calling me from downstairs !!!
We were talking on the phone, and yet we
were screaming like hell !!! Hahaha 。。。
Thanks for the banana cake, girl !!!

Felt so touched with the lovely surprises, girl !!!
It just adds that much-needed warmth to a heart far-away
from home. Love you all so much !!! Tho I was a lil' sorry keeping
you girls waiting so late for me to sign off from work that night.
And yea, I've been working throughout my birthday this year.
But I enjoyed it very much !!! It's so much better to spend
bday with the amazing colleagues at work than
spending it alone, I think.

(printscreened by hubby, he was too shy to show himself -.-)

And of course, wad's better than to start and
end my 22nd birthday with hubby ???

(taken @ my room)

Thanks again, girls !!!
Tho I've said it like so many times that day !!!

Welcoming the new members to Room 2:

I tied the balloon beside my bed ^.^

I hang Miss Fishy Jr. on a side of my lappie ^.^

Saw the floating balloon ???
My proudest new member to the family !!!
I love playing with it so much, it's just
floating about in my room !!!

My study table & Kiki.K's calendar from bro !!!
Hahaha 。。。 I D.I.Y-ed it, see ???

Postcards on the wall !!!
Just above my study table !!!
Love 'em so very much !!!

This is my fav !!!
Love the handwriting on the postcards !!!

BOO

Am wondering, what's there to expect
being 22 for once in my life ?

Don't Dread Over The Future

from Greys:

We spend our whole lifes, worrying about the future. Planning for the future. Trying to predict the future. As if figuring it out would somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain: When it finally reveals itself, the future is never the way we imagined it.

Did you say it? “I love you.” | “I don’t ever want to live without you.” | “You changed my life.” Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it. But every now and then, look around. Drink it in. Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

I've always told myself that sometimes too often,

we hold on to predicting our future so much we forget
about the present. Because, maybe that'd be
it, there might be no tomorrow。。。

Happy 47th Monthiversary !!!

我 想 我 俩 新 的 兴 趣 是 拼 了 命 的 printscreen 合 照 吧 !!!
One more month to Our 4th Anniversary !!! Yeppieee !!!
Still strong & growing !!! Love you, muaks !!!

p/s: Thanks Alfred !!! You're always the
1st one to wish us !!! haha... so funny can !!!!

The Biggest Days of Our Lives

from Greys:

"You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones, they are never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal. Those are the days that end up being the biggest."

In their vows, Karev said:

"Today's the day my life begins. All my life I've been just me. Just a smart-mouthed kid. Today I become a man. Today I become a husband. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to you. To our future. To all the possibilities that our marriage has to offer. Together no matter what happens I'll be ready for anything for everything. To take on life. To take on love. To take on the possibility and responsibility. Today Izzie Stevens, our life begins and I for one can't wait."

"You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?"

Happy Birthday to ME !!!

Coming up
。。。 bloop bloop 。。。

Weeeee !!!

Had a really good slumber throughout the night,

love cuddling underneath my layers of comforter & throw.
I really dun wish to wake up from sleep this morning, I skipped
my MC class again to continue sleeping. Felt like the tiredness &
tension that I brought along for weeks has slowly fade away.
The sleep was indeed rewarding, well except for that same
weird dream I had since long ago. Am not sure what
it indicates or what it's trying to tell me,
but am hoping that it isn't true.

Completed my last assignment for the
semester yesterday !!! Extremely over the moon !!!
I should be taking a good nap right after that to compensate
for my few sleepless nights but in stead, I went for movie with
Chen & Jun (Chen's housemate). We watched Star Trek. Me & Chen
nearly fell asleep in between the movie cuz it was just average for me.
We're desperately waiting for Transformer 2 & The Hangover coming
up soon !!! Heard Transformer's going to be big, not sure if we can
make it to the premier tho !!! But we're definitely reserving our
IMAX experience for that particular movie !!! Weeeeee !!!!


Recently very in love with this song:
Katy Perry - Thinking of You



I'll be working tonight, probably spending the few first
hours of my 22nd bday at my workplace with hopefully very
nice partners. Heard it's going to be the 'Nedland Rugby Ball',
& I shall be expecting a lot of beer drinkers !!! I hope there's going
to be a really nice band like the one I had during the 'Perth Wild
Cats Ball' !!! If not, nice music & songs throughout the nights
will be motivating too !!! Bah !!! Just hope it's going to be
an enjoyable night larh !!! Hehehehe 。。。

Scattered Feelings of Autumn

Just realized I hadn't taken much photos these days. I should have, because Autumn's here. And this would be my very first time experiencing my favorite season amongst the four. My feelings for what's to come are lil' hopeful, a little excited, a little peaceful & these bits & pieces of feelings are somewhat beautiful, if that's the only word I can find to describe how I feel about Autumn now. A little blue, tho. And that was pretty unexplainable, if you're wondering why.

Hubby asked me the other day over the phone:

"Is Autumn as blue as what they said?"

The question came pretty surprisingly from him. A part of it due to the rareness of him asking such a question. Another part was, it never dawn on me that Autumn's blue. Is it, true? But I have certain mood swings in Autumn that I normally wouldn't have at normal times, but they weren't extreme. I like it when it makes me feel calm, but sometimes it does make me feel that am missing something.

Maybe Autumn should be warm,
if we can spend it together.

I Heart Weekends !!!

Nothing feels better than knowing 2ml's holiday !!!

Even if it means a short one !!! Buahahaha 。。。

Heart the weather today, and I thought my gastric from
late last night would have given me a really 'valid' reason to
skip class today & slept through the whole lovely morning.
But too bad, the pain went off so soon I woke up feeling
better than any other morning !!! Bah 。。。

Went to play volleyball with Yi Wen, Pres & their friends
@ George Burnett Leisure Hall near Erica in the afternoon !!!
I totally enjoyed it, and knowing that I still know how to serve
ball gave me much of a relief !!! At least my whole primary
school years of playing for the school wasn't really wasted
anyway. Though I still pretty sucked at all the other
techniques, I practically just did not try to hit
any ball other than serving it !!!
Pathetic, right?

I know I sound pretty crazy, but
am liking the bruises !!! At least it reminds
me that am still a sporting person !!!
Not a lazy one !!! Hahaha 。。。

So volleyball is definitely on
my "to-do's list" every Friday !!!
It'll be whole lotsa fun with these people !!!

Oh yea, did a pretty stupid thing after the game.
I was thinking of walking back to my flat, but I randomly
hailed a bus without looking at the bus no. cus I was suddenly
feeling a lil' lazy !!! Who knows I missed the stop and ended up @
Curtin Bus Station !!! Omg !!! From what was supposedly only
a 10 mins walk home turned out to be more than 30 mins
in the end !!! So very very bekcek-nyer !!!

So, I went to Domino's & bought myself
a really really nice Choc Lava Cake to reward
me being so 'hardworking' today !!!

Nice kan?

There'll definitely be a 2nd time !!!

Had fish & 'random seafood' porridge tonight
as dinner, cooked by myself !!! I started to feel that I
cook better porridge than rice !!! Maybe because that my
rice always still end up being porridge anyway !!!
Hehehe 。。。
