Updates..

Just want to mention a few..

1. I've been accepted into Masters of Marketing! I also applied for advanced standing, which I am waiting for the business school to approve.. It'd take a while.. you know, 'A WHILE', it's Aussie style..
2. I am moving into the CITY! It's a lovely apartment! :) That probably means more partying and more shopping. heh.
3. I just confirmed my flight today, I am going home! 08 June!

It's quite funny how I whine and complain about stuffs in Aussie, but I wouldnt mind staying a little longer in Perth. I am not in love with this place, but I am beginning to enjoy the pace. Instead of rushing home, I'd like to spend a few days in Perth, just doing nothing. Like take time off to clear my thoughts, do a little reflection and present to all of you, a slightly different Bell I hope. Considering the amount of shit I've been through here, I hope I have become more mature and stronger. I hope I'd never lose the optimism I had when I was a kid. I hope lovely Jasmine wont tell me how my posts sound a little pessimistic. I hope I go home with happy emotions and a lot to share.. A LOT.. hahaha..

Love all.

7th May Cultural Fair

Despite my busy schedule, I made time for the cultural fair, with the help of Shirlene and Mark. Oh well, they just accompanied me for a few hours at our pathetic booth till someone takes over!! I even had to call Shirlene to borrow some books from the library, so the Singapore booth doesnt look so empty. I guess it was happening, but not at our booth though.. >.<

Trying to get additional chairs..

3 of us, stoning at the booth

I wonder who took this picture! I love it! This person managed to capture Bell's expression. It resembles the pictures I took when I was a kid. A good heartily smile or a big laugh (",)

Amelia in Perth~!!

My sister came over for a couple of days! So we had good food and quite a bit of shopping. Heh.

CIAO ITALIA~! Yummy! Amelia & I never quite liked pasta, but the sauce was so good! The portion is not meant for humans, I guess?

UWA. We couldnt agree on what to pose!

Matilda Bay. I think it's a lovely picture~

Cottesloe Beach. Sun Set.

Another one.

Oh, one more. Heh.

Me, Amelia & her boyfriend, Jason.

My sister definitely came at the wrong time! I only had like 3 hours of sleep each day. There's so much to do. But If I cant even show her around for a few days, What kind of sister would I be? Especially when she specifically made the trip down for ME. I am very appreciative of everything and it was good to have her around. There's so much familiarity and so comfortable to have your sister beside you. Afterall, we've lived together for more than 20 years! We whine, we complain about each other, we argue, but at the end of the day, we still love each other very much.

Amelia takes very good care of me, since I was little Bell. My dad and her dotes on me the MOST! Amelia would forgo buying some of her favourite stuffs, but she wouldnt mind getting me a little gift. That's my sister.

I wasnt exactly emotional, but when I sent her to the airport, I was pretty upset. I gave her a little hug and I didnt want to make much eye contact, for if I did, I know that I would start to tear. She's like that too!

Anyway, I had a good time when she was around.. I'll be home very soon!

Each time she msn me online, saying the family is going for dinner.. I feel upset for a few seconds.. How everyone is reluctant to go, finds it troublesome. But when you are so far away from them, you would treasure every single dinner, every single family activity that you used to have.

Anyway guys, I should be home 07/06! That's less than a month! Like 25 days? :)

Cheers!

My Busy Schedule!!

Apart from the above mentioned, I am making preparations for next semesters' housing. So I need to start viewing houses and I need to liaise with Cheryl for the upcoming Cultural Fair. I seriously regretted taking part in this upcoming event. I have NO TIME, what's more I am representing Singapore.

Sigh.

Bell's Silly Post - BoBo & Sprite

I think this is seriously adorable. My pet, Bobo and Clarence's pet, Sprite take pictures on facebook.

Clarence must be laughing at me.. when I tell him how I am feeling and behaving a certain way, lately..

See? He laughs at me.. >.<

Revenge Time! Look at his DUH look. haha!

18th Post

This is my 18th post on this blog.

Today, I spent one full hour reading all my previous posts. I do a lot of reflections in Perth. Going through your old posts, you'll get to see how much you have grown or least, how much you have changed?

Finally, I am able to post something more 'positive', compared to the past.

I was talking to Clarence online today. I use to text him when I have a problem or when something bothers me. I am very very expressive and it's frustrating how I cant speak to anyone here. I mean, I could. But you want a listener who understands you, can relate to what you are saying, trusts and supports you. In short, a good friend.

I know all my closest friends are probably working overtime, every single day. I cant expect people to be there for me. And I am sure I lead a better life than them, in Perth.

I was telling Clarence, it feels good how I wake up feeling happy these days. I became so positive all of a sudden. I have always been a very lively, cheerful, bubbly girl who's kinda crazy. I am not so much like that in Perth? But recently, I can feel my old self coming back. I like to be crazy again! Crazy with limits. Heh.

I always give good news or appear to, but this time round, it's for real? I am much better now, than before. My heart and shoulders feel so 'light'. It's just a good feeling.

There's so many people I want to talk to. First on my list, Yuan. Where the hell has he been to? Probably OT. Lovely Jasmine! Another one working OT. I have not spoken to Xiaoqi for a while as well. We use to webcam when I first arrived.

I am looking forward to going home. I think I'd miss camp rainbow this year because I need to settle my accomodation for next semester? sigh. I look forward to seeing my BIAB team members as well. It seems like I am looking forward to going home to doing volunteering work? I need more meaning in my life. You know I am best when I do social work. I am not interested in money or power, so I guess I dont really get along with people in post grad. It's not like I am not focus on my goals, I am just not interested in climbing that corporate ladder.

I find joy in giving to others.

I'd like to leave a message for you, Jas.

Thank you for your email. It was lovely. You dont need to feel sorry for that. YOU ARE ALWAYS PART OF MY LIFE.. We're best friends, remember? You're still very close to my heart. You are one of the few that I write to, I mean send a physical mail home.

Everyone knows I am a strong girl. I have a lot of faith.

Mid Term Examinations

I am so happy now!~

I am very satisfied with my own performance for mid terms. I had 2 exams and 1 presentation.

Here's my grades:

GM Presentation 1 = 8/10

IMC Exams = 74.7% (33.6/45)

The other paper that I just got back is Client Management. I got 24 out of 30! HOORAY!

I am so high right now, that I cant concentrate on my Ethics report.. My mind's just full of ice cream, chocolates, parties, whatever to reward myself for a lil while. Heh.

My sister, Amelia is coming next week. So I am rushing my assignments! She's coming at the busiest period of the semester!

Cheers!

Miss you all :)
