i met up wif rachel today at parkway coz she needed some company 2 buy some stuff. i took the opportunity to do a bit of shopping too. anyway, when i was having lunch and she was watching over me, she gave me something very suggestive. very very suggestive actually. i was surprised she was actually holding such a thing in her hand. i shall not post any pics and will instead leave it 2 yr imagination.

she handed me a small box. it was a bit bigger than my palm. it was a blue box and had these words on the front side: Be Safe. USe protection. And at the bottom right hand corner were the words: for long lasting pleasure. i got a shock. imagine rachel handing you something like that. i was very shocked.

she even told me how she got it. these wern't her exact words but it was something along this line," i was crossing the road just now and this guy was handing out these boxes. i saw the words but i also saw some kids taking it! so i took it also. then after i crossed the road a girl was also giving it out. so i took another one. i have 2 now so i'll give u one."

i was totally stunned. did i forget to mention, there was a picture on the front side also. it showed a man putting his arm around a woman. it was a silhouette.

when the box was shaken i noticed it made a strange sound. it sounded heavy. so i opened it and looked inside. rachel did have a wary look on her face, and i told her to look wat was inside the box.

we burst out laughing in the middle of banquet, where i was having lunch. i think the couple sharing the table wif us thot we must have been crazy.

it was a tiny sample bottle of sun block. we looked at the description at the back of the box and it sounded really wrong. i quote, " You are out and about, having fun when it happens in the heat of the moment. you may think putting it on is uncomfortable and takes all the fun out of it. but before you go bare, let NIVea Sun tell you everything you need to know about sun protection."

i think this is a really good gimmick!!!!!! kudos to the person who came up with this idea.

very cool. anyway, that was the fun moment of the day. when rachel n i realised wat it was we could'nt stop laughing.

hope this brings a smile to your face!

Whoa, I have a CLUB? not bad.. I'm RICH!! Muahahhahahha!!! diaoz..

anyway, i would suggest the club if you guys feel we shd sit down n chat coz the ambience is great. its relaxing and there's a beach too. then once we're ready for some action we can head for bowling or badminton. or, since the weather's been so hot lately, we can do karaoke too n make it rain.

if you guys feel like some action and more sun burns, then sentosa would be good. we can go on the luge again and maybe explore other parts of sentosa too.

since we've been to sentosa quite recently, perhaps we should go to the club at changi. but then again, everyone liked the luge and sarah n azzimah have yet to experience it. ah well.. wat do you guys think?

( please don't say "anything" hehe...)

Yeah! Monday night's dinner was fabulous! It felt like the days when we had lunch at Magic Wok! Just that we were missing Shaz and Sarah...

Thanks to LC for putting up so many unglam and unflattering photos of us! You know...You could have filtered the nice pics up! haha! But thanks for the photography! I drool each time I see the pics!! When's the next meal out? :)

Anyway everyone!! This goes out to Weirdz + 3 little piggies! (aka Wei2, Shuzzie and Gillian...I still can't get your group name..Apologies!)

Please keep 14th July (saturday) free on your calendars!! Let's meet up on that day kK!

Please post here on your attandance and what you want to do!

Here are some suggestions:
1. Sentosa fun with sand and sea!! :)

Anyways, things aren't confirmed! Just taking a survey. Btw, AC Nielson (Survey company) called me and wanted to do some survey on advertising prescripted medicine. She persuaded me for a long time to get me to do the survey. But guess what...the 2nd qns was. "What's your age?" And I am UNDERAGED for the survey! What a waste of time! haha!

ok...all of you have posted some stuff...except for me...as usual...IT and me go in opposite directions...basically...i lead a super boring life...not working and tai tai-ing and not getting my butt down to mendaki for my voluntary work...

e only stuff i been doing all day is being irritated and 'rimas'(watever that word is in English...shaz, pls do e honours of translating it..thanx). If u all think YH is bad, u haven't seen my 15 YR OLD cousin...(is she reading this blog?? cos if she is, i'm so dead....ok...e mean genes is really infectious...). he does not understand the plain meaning of 'get lost, go away, get away from me' and many more. he reads my sms and my e mails! Even now, i am typing wif one hand and covering the computer screen wif e other. At least YH knows e meaning of 'give me my privacy'. Not only that, he wants to follow me wherever i go...Hougang Mall, library, fetch, fetch my brother frm sch...everywhere...and he keeps on lying down on my bed...like hello...it's a GIRLS' ROOM!!!!and he always got something to say...most of e times, lame stuff and unimportant stuff that dun require any attention...

and when i go out without him...like when i went out with my sister to shop, he keeps on msg me 'what time are u coming home, where r u now, where u going nxt' and so on...and when i dun reply, he starts calling me...i got a total of 10 missed calls that day...like dun he get e point that after calling 4 times straight, one after another, and i dun pick it up(i just finished calling my mum at home..so it's obvious i was v near my phone at the moment), it means that i dun want to talk to him...like..hello...he's not my father, mother, brother or even my boyfriend that i have to report my activities to him...even my brother and father dun keep tabs on me till that bad...

k...i'm seriouly pissed wif him now...cos he's trying to read wat i type by staring at e keyboard while trying to engage in a conversation wif me...not to mention he sometimes 'abuse' me by beating me...his jokes(gurau is jokes right shaz...?) are so rough..k...i should stop now in case i have really bad karma for whining and talking bad abt him non-stop in a few minutes...haha...

To make things worse...HE"S MY TUITION KID...!!!! Dun complain abt my paragraphing cos i know it's bad....will try to improve nxt time...

Hey people!!

Just to mark my attendance for the next few days!! I would be away on Business trip to NUS from 19 June 2007 to 22 June 2007. If you miss me, please sms me as my phone would not be with me. I will try to get back to you asap (which would probably be like in the wee hours of the morning).

Please do not miss me too much because I do not want to keep sneezing at the camp!!

And please pray hard that I meet cute guys at the camp! Hehe!! Okok...No one would want a miss earth when she keeps telling them to recycle!

To di, Welcome back! And thanks for all the pics and explanations about your trip! It was so educational just that the emu picture freaked me out! And I so want to go to Cadbury factory! It's like being in the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"! =)

Anyways, I hope to meet up with you girls soon!!

Take cares while I am away!

Love lots, ~Weird-R~
MUACKS!!

HEY EVERYONE!!!! I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!









my family and i also went to Freycinet National Park which is a 2 and 1/2 hour drive from Hobart. We went by bus and had to change buses even! but it was worth the ride coz the park is fantastic. apparently its so crowded in summer that ppl have to book and ballot for spots to camp. the driver who took us there also said that for the past few years, the same few families have been constantly getting the camping spots they asked for. hmmm... i guess sometimes, "its not what you know, but WHO you know." to quote the driver.

the were a lot of trails but since my family and i did'nt have a lot of time, we chose the half hour walk to the lookout point at The Hazards mountains that allows us to view Wineglass Bay, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

the picture above shows the walk up to the lookout point. it was like climbing bukit timah lah... A LOT OF STEPS. but as we went up the ppl who were coming down kept on encouraging us, saying things like, " you're almost there!! haha...don't give up!" very cool.



i tell you, mr chen should organise a geog trip to tasmania. there are a lot of geographical formations, like the one above and the one below. my sister( who's taking geog ) and i went balistic and took like, 100000000 pics of the rocks. i shan't bore you by putting them all here. its endless.












and this, ladies and gentlemen, is Wineglass Bay.


















my mum took a pic of me with the bay as the background, and when she uploads the pics from her cam i'll upload it here. the long trek up was totally worth the view i tell u.






this is a pic of my sisters with some of the rock formations. i like their poses!

we then went to the Friendly Beaches. yes, that is the name of the beach. and u noe wat, we saw ppl SURFING. i wanted to say, " Like, Dudes, its like, winter, duh. its like, COLD? duh."





this is a pic of yours truly next to the beach. the sand is like flour!!





look at the waves as shown below!!!!!!! no wonder those crazy idiots were surfing. but still, its cold and they could freeze to death.





the next day, we went to Bonorong National Park. we were given animal feed and were allowed to feed the animals except the ones in the cages.





my biggest surprise was the the kangaroos were roaming freely like the peacocks in the singapore zoo. i mean, duh, since there are more kangaroos in austraila than there are people. (betcha did'nt noe that.) and since the kangaroo is practically the national animal. it was nice to come up close and personal with the cute roos!





this really adorable baby kangaroo was playing with its mum and was jumping up and down like sarah on chocolate. it seemed to be saying," Carry me mummy!"





and the next thing i knew...







so cool.

my sis was very very amused by this kangaroo. haha.. guess who's enjoying life?




haha... welcome to resort kangaroo! this guy... shiok only...





this little guy reminds me of shippo, sarah's hamster. except this guy here is not a hamster. he's a Quoll. he SO CUTE.



see below for scientific explaination.





more pics of kangaroos. when we were walking around, we suddenly saw the whole herd of kangaroos run in one direction. according to the keeper, their leader sensed some sort of danger and started running and the others followed. the pic below was taken when the kangaroos were all gathered together and i zoomed in on this mother and baby.




someone's sneaking a snack in the safety of his mum's pocket.





there were geese there too, but i have no idea for wat reason. they were making lots of noise when we were taking pics of the kangaroos so we figured they wanted some attention too, so we fed them and took pics of them too.








i noe this is mean, but i think i found kong min's cousin, the emu. see pic below.







i tell u, the koalas look exactly like the soft toy ones u see in shops, its so hard to believe you're seeing them in real life. this one below looks like shaz in geog lecture. all squinty-eyed and sleepy. hehe...





a fact abt koalas. they're extremely fussy animals and only eat the tips of the eucalyptus leaves. when i was taking these shots the keeper was changing the leaves. they look brand new, but according to the keeper this koala was already done eating the tips. they drink very little too, and sleep quite a lot. once the koalas are done eating the tips of the leaves, the keeps change fresh leaves and use the old ones as decor in the other animals' enclosures. then after a while they're put under the sun to dry and used as flooring in the animals' enclosures. (like hay)

smart rite!! miss earth, take note. re-using!!!







below here shows some kangaroos basking in the sunlight. eh brothers!! u think this is miami beach ah?









there was one very friendly baby kangaroo. dunno if it was a girl or boy. but it actually let my sister pet it after feeding it. my cam could'nt video coz there was condensation but i took a lot of photos. here is the kangroo.






and this photo below shows my 2 sisters stroking the kangaroo.








wow look at that fat bird! no wait, is it just ONE bird? look carefully. sorry i dunno the name of this bird!





and here, ladies and gents, boys and girls, is the reason y tasmania is called tasmania................... The Tasmanian Devil!!!!! is'nt he cute??? awwwww...


















ya rite he's cute. as if. he can be vicious too, if he wants to.





in this demonstration, the keeper fed the devil some meat( i shall not specify which kind) and showed us that it could actually climb, as shown in this pic below.





and here he is, the nasty little devil, enjoying his meal.







next, we headed for Richmond, which is a town that still retains its colonial looks, back when the british colonised austraila. it looks like a little english town! ( ironic of me saying this, since i've never been to england, but it does give me the feeling of a quaint little english village. like in enid blyton's books.)




we had lunch at the Maze Cafe, and, obviously, as the name suggests, went to try out the maze. there were two mazes and u have to go thru the 1st one to get to the 2nd one. a lollipop was given to the one who managed to get to the centre of the maze where the minotaur was and retreive the password. it was really challenging and my sisters and i did it together. it took some time to reach the centre of the maze. it was 3 o clock when we started. but we were rushing coz after retrieving the password(theseus) my youngest sister needed to go to the toilet. plus we had trouble finding our way out. she was really very urgent. we ended going round and round in circles. my youngest sister then decided to go her own way. we lost her and my other sister and i ended up finding the way back before she did. we called her many times and eventually she had to crawl under the wooden walls of the maze to reach us.


we were rushing also because we were late for the bus that was picking us up at 345. it was 345 when we just exited the maze. my sis raced for the toilet. i was waiting for her, and i so stupidly did not go collect my lollipop while waiting. sigh. anyway, we only made everyone else wait abt 5 mins.






all in all, it was very fun, and while having lunch, the owner of the cafe(and the maze as well) did some gothic calligraphy of our names. here's mine.





well, that's it for tasmania. i'll put the aus pics in another post. to end this post off, here's what i wish for all of you:

take care!!!
