Not Changing... Yet
09.19.09 (3:19 am) [edit]Sometimes I just don't understand what is going on in her mind, I tried talking to her yet she's always quiet about things.. We have talked about these many times and still nothing seems to be changing.. True enough, I've also not changed abit I guess thats maybe the reason why she's not changing also.. why should she change if I don't right.. But there are just some things I dun like her to do and she's always doing it.. like ignoring me, throwing "things" like they dun mean anything, showing me a face that makes me thing what is wrong but she just wun say, just doing things she like to do... I'm not saying I have to tolerate all these rubbish from her because these are not rubbish but just that these are just the way she express herself and I know but sometimes it just frustrates me.. I know I've not been bringing her out and spending time with her for quite some time.. but I'm studying hard and she is studying hard as well and when I'm resting, she's not... she's been studying every single day, how to go out? (not her fault, I should be the one thinking how to help her relax abit..) let me just go and think of something.. it's really hard for me to think about the stupid studies and when I'm relaxing she's still studying.. and even the wkends she will be studying... and when she's resting, we just feel like lying in bed whole day.. oh well no 1 said relationships are easy to maintain, and surely no 1 said life is easy to balance everything.. there are just so much things to be done and so little time left.. guess I've to make some sacrifices in order to make my baobei happy =) and I'm a man not a god..

08.07.09 (1:49 am) [edit]It's been very different lately. She has been behaving very different from the past, though she said she has always been like this. She used to talk to me about things she don't like about me, but now she doesn't, even when I sit down beside her when she sobs quietly under the blanket. I'm under the impression she's influenced by the people around her (I'm not blaming anyone). There was this couple that lived together with us for 1 semester and now broken up and during that period it was rather indirectly affected everyone in the house. When something happened she would come in and start saying why guys are so bad bla bla bla and I felt like I'm being judged as one of them. I've been loving her for so long and trying to reach into her but now it feels like it's back to square 1. I've told her many things that I will do and I'll do it becos I love her. Sometimes, at that very moment, I felt like "enough is enough.. don't behave like tat, just tell me and I'll listen" and I feel angry and frustrated. But then I also come to realised everytime she cried it's becos of me and that I need to do better, and I will becos I love her. I'm sorry if you think I don't love you anymore, I do Love you Baobei muackz, don't doubt this but I really hope you would talk to me about these, I really hate this feeling that I'm someone you cannot talk to directly and I'm also a human, I will feel sad and angry and etc at sometimes but it does not mean I don't love you. I still love you and I just need you to think about talking to me ok muackz..
1st VA
12.05.08 (5:37 pm) [edit]This is my frist Vacation Attachment (VA) since I left for studies. I had prayed that my posting will not be PV/APV or MCM haha and I guess the praying worked. I was posted to Changi Naval Base instead... and attached to the frigates =S Being the newest platform around, many things are still ongoing and so officers and crew have been busy every since they have been posted onboard.. Every morning I'll have to wake up at about 0545H to make it to CNB before 0800H... and I only get to leave when work is done at about after 1800H.. sometimes even after 1900H and by the time I reach Jurong it would be close to 2100H and after dinner and etc, I would be going to zzz le and it's another full day...
Being onboard the Frigate is something to be proud of but for me it's nothing yet.. I'll only get the chance to be onboard a frigate after 5yrs or so when I've clear my junior tours =) just hope I get to go back to the smaller ships first and getting the foundations right before I proceed to the more challenging platforms =)
20 Nov 08
11.21.08 (2:13 am) [edit]Back from Australia for the next 3mths, felt sianz as I'll need to report back to work during this summer break. I was actually supposed to report back on Wed the 19 but when we were there the lady in charge was not around and the clerk said that they will only be back on Fri the 21 so I guess we'll have to report back then.. it was happy because I had another 2days but sad because I was waiting to know my fate back at work but now will have to wait till fri..
Anyway, I was sending Baobei back home around midnight on the 19, I noticed some guys were by the road side and they seemed ok from far but then I realised something was wrong and I made a U-turn to go back and there I saw the group of malay boys were hitting the chinese boy and then they ran away. I stopped my car by the road side and then I down to check if the boy is ok.. he seemed ok and I drove him to the nearby police station to make police report.. I dropped him there and left.. he should be ok.. but the thing is I drove up to the guidehouse and he advised me to park my car somewhere and come back to make the report... I was like... nvm... I just drop him faster...
Also today denny sms me saying his dad was admited into the hospital so would not be able to meet me on fri so I was thinking to arrange to meet him with the rest maybe near the hospital or something... well see how got to go zzz tml got to report back for work...
04 Nov 08
11.04.08 (2:29 pm) [edit]Had my first paper in the morning at 0800hrs today. I'll have another paper in the afternoon at 1745hrs. Ytd night I wanted to zzz early so I'll be able to wake up early and do a last min revision, but I just could not get to zzz so instead just laid there till 0445hrs and I came down to my books. I studied quite alot this time, revising through many times, though selectively, but I managed to cover most of the topics.
When I got the paper, I was disappointed that those I'd studied hard was not in the exam paper. Initially, I've intended to do at least 2 Qns on the reading list and another 3 from the major topics, but I ended up only doing 1 Qns on reading and 4 other major topics. There goes my grade again haha =S but well I believe I will be able to do better in the rest =) have faith hehe
And 1 thing, for this exam it was 55% and there was a project report 30%. Some people did not do the report so they have to score well in the exams but beside me was this guy, after 5 mins into perusal he got up and left... OMG...
Got to do some reading for the next paper now, it's actually an open book test so should be easy since I've marked out almost everything in the books using those little colourful strips =)
My part-time job
10.24.08 (5:10 pm) [edit]Haha!! Living alone (without parents) is really an experience we all will but should get while we are still young. Ever since I've been in Australia to study, I've done some really interesting things. I've become a cook, a house cleaner, a market man, a gas tank delivery man, a simple car mechanic, an electrical technician, a "pet-sitter", and recently a plumber. HAHA all the technical stuffs I've done, I wonder why I did not study some technical or mechanical stuff when I was in Poly..
Oh well, haha done all that is needed to be repaired, its time to get back to my books, exams in 2wks time =S
The time of the Semester
10.19.08 (11:47 pm) [edit]It's the time of the semester, EXAM time!! I've got about 2wks before the start of my 1st two major papers (Business policy & strategy and Writing) on the 4th Nov. Trying to start early this time, hopefully I can do well and score since I believe I'd screwed up my assignments. After two papers, I will be having another 1 on the 10th and last 1 on the 11th.
And the time of the semester end again, I will be heading back to SG for my VA and for 99% I'm posted back to ship so god help me haha =S Well it's a gd thing, at least I'm going back to where I belong haha where there are nice food and friends and family and salary hehe =) Ok then, back to the books...
Same old me...
10.09.08 (3:58 am) [edit]It’s 0235hrs and I'm still sitting here doing nothing. Past few days were hell. I’d got a presentation on Monday, 2,500 words report due on Tuesday, would have to submit another 2,500 words essay this coming Friday, and another 1,000 words news review next Tuesday. Handing in assignments is common in any academic institution, so what seem to be the problem? The problem is every assignment I had since the start of university was that I would only start doing it at most 2-3 days ahead and start typing it out 24hrs before due date. May be I was over confident when I got high grades for assignments so I started doing the same for each other assignment.
People started the 2,500 words report about 2-3 weeks ago and some had even written more than the required maximum. For me, I did not even reach 2,500 words, I only had 2,000 words. Another previous assignment which I had to write 2,000 words and I only had 1,500 words. I hope I can reach my 2,500 words for this upcoming essay, and I pray the previous few I would at least pass them. Initially I wanted to start all my assignments early this semester but I just did not managed to do it and I don’t know why.
Alright, I guess it’s the same as old me, always getting things done last min and studying for exams last min etc., things would not change unless I try and even if I try, it would not mean that I would succeed, but still I must try.
The shag day...
10.05.08 (8:32 pm) [edit]I was doing my assignment yesterday night till about 4am in the morning then I slept for 5hrs and went to library in the morning to get my books for the assignment... As planned, we cleaned up the house the whole day and I'm so tired now... My assignment is due on Tues and I have a presentation tml in the evening... I guess I wun be able to do much.. still got to go to sch tml for a whole day... I wonder if I can finish it in time...
Australia Zoo
10.02.08 (12:12 am) [edit]Went to Australia Zoo on the 29 Sep 08, overall it was alright...
The first animal we saw even before we entered the Zoo!!
The big Croc!!!
Baobei gave up her chance to feed the elephant to this child, but the elephant don't want to eat...
Baby croc!!!
The Crocoseum... was expecting an animal show... but we had this instead...
Like it was meant for kids... they invited all the kids to dance together around the bottom of the stage...
There... my "live monkey" show... After 1hr, the real animals came on... but they just introduced them like some introduction tape...
The croc trick..
Really a place for kids to visit...
I'll pass on some animals... but this is the Tasmanian Devil... I seen this when I was on holiday during my end of Olvls trip with my father and uncle's family
A big wombat... Baobei liked it so much...
Hi there...
Lazy... eat and sleep only...
Another 1... they only wait for food to go to them...
Swimming tiger cubs... there were 3 of them and they were all just playing around the pool with the keepers..
The afternoon elephant feeding session, we went to que like 15mins early but when it was starting Baobei was feeling weak and fainting so we end up walking away and sat down somewhere and took the shutter tram back to the entrance.. Baobei was so sad...
At the entrance was the tribute to Steve Irwin and his family...
This was also at the entrance haha, it was filled with kids when we were there in the morning so we decided to take a photo of it when we were leaving...
And Baobei wanted to take the picture of this echidna even though she was not feeling well... haha so in the end we did see almost all the animals we wanted to see..
The last picture before we left...
Alright, there were the usual animals... let's just list the animals we did not see... There was no giraffe, no monkeys, no antelopes, no bears, no polar bears, no penguins, no eagles, no cheetah, no jaguars, no lions, no spiders, no ostrich, and no... I guess that’s all I can think of... Baobei thinks Singapore’s Zoo has much more variety and I agree...
My chocolate chip cheesecake
09.28.08 (2:29 am) [edit] 
This is the cake I baked for my Baobei's Bday...
This is the sliced view haha!!
This is the dinner I prepared for that night =)
Baobei's Bday!!
09.27.08 (1:40 am) [edit]Today is my Baobei's 23rd birthday!! HAHA!! I gave her a card yesterday before midnight, asking her to search the room for it. It was no fun, she could not find it, I had to tell her where it was before she could see it so obvious in front of her. Then today morning after sending her to school I went to Coles to get the ingredients I needed for my dinner. When I got home I started baking the cake, right from the start-my birthday cake was a pre-mixed-from flour to the final product, a chocolate chip cheesecake. The recipe was all in grams and I had no scale so I just had to estimate hehe, I feared it would turn out terrible, esp with all the cheese and cream etc.
Dinner was great, I never had such a successful meal cooked with my pork chops before =) I'm just glad it was ok and we enjoyed our nice dinner. After 10pm, the rest came over so we could have our cake, haha I told them in advance that if the cake taste funny don't say it out loud. Arman said it looked nice, Jac asked why does it look like seaweeds... =S I guess it did looked a bit funny. The best part is they all said it tasted nice, haha =D I'VE DONE IT AGAIN!! or maybe they were just being nice haha. I had a go at it for the first time, I hate cheesecake, but it was ok for me. =)
Happy birthday Baobei! I Love You! and there you have it your "presents", my day of hard/heart work for you =) MUACKZ!
Just some thoughts
09.23.08 (1:40 am) [edit]Been awhile since I thought of writing here. I had been trying to concentrate on work for a long long time-could say I'm progressing-but it just just seem never enough. Just had my result back for the mid-semester exam and some assignment marks. They are terrible, at least not what I expected I would get. Need to put in more work again. Sometimes I just don't like to work hard because I never got to reap the fruit at the end. Or maybe I did not put in enough effort so there was nothing to reap.
Anyway, had been cooking some rubbish lately, getting out of ideas of cooking, need to start searching for new recipe. Cooking is fun but it can get abit boring if there was no variety in the kind of food you want to prepare. My baobei's birthday is coming and I need to think of something to cook =)
There is a reason for legal age limit
09.09.08 (4:20 pm) [edit]I was in the library looking through past Straitstimes and I came across this news regarding a 16yr old boy who died in an accident while driving. On one hand I felt sad for his family's loss, yet on another I felt that why did the child had to drive when he knew well enough he does not have the licence to do so. There is a line between 'what you can do' and 'what you may do'. The law legally benchmark the age of 18 to be able to apply for a licence and the age of 21 to be considered an adult, there are sure to be reasons why this is so, I don't question much and I believe it's fair enough. Being an adult means there are consequences you have to bear if things go wrong. Though sad but luckly no other victims were involved in the crash. I could imagine if I have a friend who died in an accident resulted because he/she was at fault, but if that driver had no licence, regardless who was at fault, I would definately blame the driver.
Hey Hey!! Missed me?
08.29.08 (1:23 am) [edit]Haha, was lazy to do any posting lately... anyway, just some updates... our pet Beanie died back in SG =( about 1.5 yrs old... so sad, our 1st pet died and we were not there... but I'm thankful to Shirley for taking care of Beanie while we were gone.. something sad also happened to a friend's mum recently and it just brought back memories when she passed away 2yrs back...
Anyway, school has been boring and I've been studying more than what I have done in my whole poly life... The writing course is killing me haha and there is this one lecturer whose course is so screwed up I just dun feel like attending her LTs and Tutes anymore... but then I'll just have to attend... no choice...
Going to SeaWorld tomorrow =D wanted to go there so many times just did not have the opportunity to do so till now haha and the best thing is that we got ourselves this Annual Pass haha 12 mths unlimited entry for just $99 each haha well going there twice would have recover the whole cost...
Also we may be selling the car soon, I'm not sure myself too... just hope it will be a wise move... the car just had another problem, the alternator needed replacement, and we had enough of such problems haha.. still, it was an experience esp when u are dealing with a 14yrs old car... if after selling the car and Nick does not want to get another then I may or may not get one also.. it all depends... maybe someone would give me a car hahaha =D
Alright, really looking forwards to going back to SG.. I do miss my country, family, and friends... and the food of cos... today we actually went for a movie, watched Taken, and ate our dinner at this Thai & Malay restaurant.. the satay was $2 per piece haha damn expensive... but the taste of some asian food is yummy =) not that I don't like my usual McDonalds but even so I missed SG's McDonalds.. hahah coming back after 15 Nov hehe see ya all!!
Urgent Vs Important
08.16.08 (2:30 am) [edit]In my secondary school days, I had a teacher who taught me to manage my time by differentiating what are urgent and what are important.. Till today I am still unable to do it.. Whenever I want to study which is important, I felt tired and needed a rest (to me rest is urgent) haha so I rest most of the time.. I am trying to find back those times whereby I woke up feeling fresh and ready to tackle the day but I have not been able to find that feeling for a long long time... I know how to find it though, I need to exercise so my mind will be fresh but I just cannot seem to find the time and will to do it.. even when the weights are just at the living room I would still rather sit down on the couch and watch television programmes.. I just writing something that came to my mind, I am still trying to study hard and now I am even starting revision early and along whenever lectures has ended that very day.
Well I guess hardwork is not easy, it takes alot to become successful and that is why many people felt so happy when their hardwork had paid off. I hope I will be able to feel this by the end of this semester =) Cheers for myself and keep working hard haha, goes out to all those who are also studying!
My Belated Birthday Present & NDP 08
08.10.08 (2:07 am) [edit]Was shopping after lunch around in Indooroopilly Shopping Center yesterday after Baobei's lesson in school and then just wanted to play some games so we went into this toy shop and then I saw this very nice 60th Anniversary Scrabble board game and bought it... Baobei paid and said it was my present for my birthday haha =) I did not really wanted a present but since she insisted oh well =D We came back and had two games before we went to bed as Baobei was tired and I knew she was too tired to play a third game... but still I enjoyed playing games with my Baobei.. Spending time with her just doing some simple stuff is very relaxing and fun, just enjoying the company of each other is more than enough, quality not quantity haha, and that's something I like about my Baobei =)
Then today it was National Day and I did not go to the school to watch the parade but instead watched it online through CNA live, the quality was not very good but alright, it's free anyway... I like watching the parade segment, I not the hard core die for Singapore kind but I like my country and I'm proud of it, maybe that was one reason why I "sign on" and decide to serve my country =P there are things that I don't like about my country but overall I'm still very supportive of the government and the things they want to do.. Well let's just say without their hard work we would not be enjoying what we have today =) Go SG!! =D
Writing
07.30.08 (2:14 am) [edit]This semester I'm actually taking a course on Fundamentals of Writing from the Faculty of Arts. Initially, I wanted to take something simpler like Academic Writing, designed for non-English native speakers, so I thought since I do speak English back in Singapore, I thought it would be more challenging for me. I guess I would try to do well but I have got a lot of readings on some simple English terms etc. I have got to do so I would understand the lectures and their contents more. Anyway, I’m taking this course also because I feel that I needed something to improve my writing and English and since I’m not able to do a double major in my degree due to my exemptions, why not take the chance to do something about it, so here I am taking this as one of my level one electives.
So far, been attending one tutorial and two lectures on this course, I have felt a pressure just by not being able to associate certain things mentioned in lecture till look up the dictionary. I guess nothing comes easy and free, hard work has to be put in somehow, nevertheless I will try my best to maintain my GPA.
One of my assignments in this course is to write blog entries, and it must be reflective entries regarding writing issues. It just made me think and realised sometimes my entries are also more descriptive than reflective. Therefore I shall improve on this as much as I can possibly do.
Alright, I have been surfing the net for the past few days looking for a new wallet and I managed to find some interesting wallets that I can buy. There is this one from Dosh , and this one from Ogon . Tomorrow, I will be going to city to see if I can find the one from Dosh costing only A$50 and see if I really like it or not. If I don't then I might just consider buying the Ogon one online, but it will be more costly since it is from France with the wallet costing €32 in addition a delivery cost of €23.
Fishing!!
07.26.08 (3:23 am) [edit]Well, its a friday night after dinner at Arman's place, they intended to go fishing but there was no bait... so in the end got to go back home and take out pork and use them as baits haha =S
It was not the first time I went fishing, just that it was so long ago that everything seems so unclear how YH taught me then haha only when we tried then it all start to come back to me... Did not managed to catch anything but we will try harder next time, at least here I've got more time to fish haha, then when I go back to SG can find the gang and show them how i fish hehe...
Anyway it was so cold that my hands and fingers were numb and I could not really feel anything, Baobei tried to cast the lines and there was this one time she said how come the bait dropped to the ground even when she was holding the line haha apparently she could not feel the line as her fingers were numb too.. after awhile I just open my jacket and hug her and two of us shared the same jacket =) There were other people around also and they were like "ok we'll turn around first haha"... Those were just friends we made earlier in the dinner four girls, and during the dinner Baobei found an interesting thing, that is all of our names are "J" (Joyce, Joanne, jesslyn, Jacq, James, Junbin, Jinhui, Jeremy) haha only Arman, Thane & one girl by the name Yunshan... and one more... forget already haha... think is Natalie or something hehe...
The sky was so nice and we were just standing there doing some fishing and having Baobei wrapped up with me looking at stars hehe it was nice just maybe too many people and too cold... will arrange for another fishing trip and maybe a nice star gazing experience with Baobei one of these days... =)
A tour around my rented apartment
07.24.08 (2:09 am) [edit]
This is what you see when you enter the main door, its usually not so untidy, this was taken months back when we first moved in, and behind the curtain is our small courtyard, and the left side shows abit of our kitchen..
Our small courtyard...
This is what you see when u stand from the previous picture, where we have our meals, watch TV, the main door (right) and garage door (left)
The kitchen, leading to the washing machine and dryer area with a toilet (below)
This is the garage, obviously its empty, the car did not come after a few months...
The stairway to... the two $220/wk rooms haha
Our room.. that about all there is to show... =)
Additions~~
07.24.08 (1:53 am) [edit]New additions to the family, today Baobei and I went to get another two rats as the previous two we bought from the Indooroopilly pet shop were one female and one male, there was apparently a mistake in their sexing of the rats and so we got to separate them before they start to mate and we end up with 30 rats =S We went to get our new two rats from this Taringa pet shop that we always visit when we go for our pizza on cheaper Tuesday. There was only one female left so we had no other choices so we got ourselves the one and only female and the other male. After everything we headed down to the other pet shop that hardly sells any pets but more of the food and stuffs and nothing much but in there I decided to get two cages for the rats to stay in instead, costed me $160/- Baobei was reluctant at first but I said I would pay for them and since we are to get pets we must provide them with at least something nice to stay in or something nice to play with so we choose to get them something nice to stay in.
Back home, there was a slight problem.. the rats were fighting.. maybe it was because we introduced the two new rats in their dominant environment but then we separated them and now just see what happens.
I also bought fishing rod today =D planning to try fishing here so went to get a fishing rod, simple and cheap. It was a shared rod with Nick and the idea was Arman and gang wants to try fishing also so the more the merrier. Tried fishing before back in Singapore with YH and we did not catch anything just enjoyed the chit chat session then =P..
Since Nick is back, its going back to the previous beef meals menu when it was his turn to cook.. I still prefer chicken or pork over beef, I only enjoyed beef noodles in Singapore =P After dinner we watched this Jamie Oliver show, it was about him, a cook, trying to tell people in UK about certain truth in certain food. Like last week he was talking about how junk food could kill you, there were all the different professionals coming out to talk about eating too much fats, salts, and oil. The convincing part of the show was most of the facts are regarding public audiences picked to appear on TV and about their diet etc, some might die in a few yrs time etc. And even an autopsy of a dead man showing all the damage the fats & oil has done to his body which eventually killed him. This week was about the chicken and egg, in short about currently chickens were ill-treated and unwanted chickens becoming food on shelves and how eggs are produced in battered environment etc. But, it does not really affect me in anyway haha cruel me...
Had another cookie baking today, Nick wanted to try also so today was more of letting him do the work while Baobei just guiding him through while I watched my shocking chicken show.
Alright school has started and I need to get back on track, but it just seem I’m still lacking some kick in the butt haha =S
Reflection of my ("v")
07.22.08 (2:11 am) [edit]Reflection? Hmm its about...
Firstly, why am I always in a rush to go to so many places at one time... I don’t know because I was sightseeing? Hehe... Well I wanted to explore every place I can find within that area as much as I can, also its not really a place worth staying long too really... or maybe I felt it that way, but I’m not always like that.. the Sutton beach was long, it was like the only place I planned to go around that area so we just walked the beach and pick sea shells and walked around... I guess its because of the intention I had for each place... If I had done my homework more I would have just visited one of the natural park, stop my car at the car park and get on feet and walk.. but it turned out bad and I had no idea what to expect so I was like trying to find somewhere nicer to make the trip looks better...
Secondly, how come I could fall asleep while my baobei is crying but turn sleepless over a car... this does not say the car is more important than my baobei... Its just that the car is not my alone and its a new experience for me owning a car and I had no idea what to do to it thats why it has been bothering me till I lost my sleep over it... My baobei is crying but I know I cannot stop her from crying and crying out will make one feel better afterwards so I just let her cry and hug her and fall to sleep =) Like now I could sure fall asleep even if the car is going to die tomorrow because I’ve already had a fair share of experience from the car and sure it no longer a big deal I will just dump it and get a new one... But I cannot dump my baobei and get a new one, and its only once, other times I still try to ask her why and tell her don’t cry etc but you know I can say all I want and she will still be crying... and I will just hug her and hope she will feel better and fall asleep =) I never meant her crying meant nothing to me at all.. Just that up to now sometimes I still don’t know why she is upset sometimes and sometimes she thinks about something sad and I don’t know she is sad...
Thirdly, why I say this place can watch sunset and not I do it.. haha simple I want to do it must say out loud? Sunset is not something I would plan just go and watch but rather something I would do in a package, like sunset at a nice beach while having a nice walk etc, I need to do homework and planning, telling Nick a place that he can bring is GF to watch sunset does not mean its a damn good place which might fit my plan or anything, it just gives me an idea I can watch sunset from here... but will I is another question.. will Nick? That is his problem haha, maybe I failed to be romantic and nice but I’m not sure myself either, I’m sure I’m not those fanciful people with very creative idea etc.. like how my candle light dinner turn out to be unromantic as well...
Sometimes I do think about why am I like that? It makes me think like why am I not doing what I've planned to do like the past and why am I not able to be creative and romantic... I'm not sure too my mind is just not thinking... I must say I'm not like the past anymore, I can't even study properly now haha.. think my brain power is dying... maybe I've been slacking too much till my brain lacks the ability to think anymore...
Alright I will remember all these in my mind =) I might be a lousy BF but I Love You baobei and for that please don’t blame me hehe muackz!!!
Beyond words ~~~
07.22.08 (1:33 am) [edit]Sometimes I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or wrong... Like am I doing it right by saying yes or am I just being dumb if I say yes... She say no so I just take it as no etc etc etc...
She said my blog was just about the car more than about the times we spent together.. to me... its definitely easier to write about the car than about how I feel.. I’m a man of little emotional expressions.. I can’t even smile properly, she always say I look so fake or dreamy or dumb haha... When I was with her I felt just nice and right comfortable enjoying a view together and doing things together, but how to put it to words? I can only imagine every entry will be the same as I felt the same as long as as I’m with her, not that everytime there is a variety or vary every now and then right? I don’t even know anybody understand this sentence of mine.. All I can say is how I feel being with my Baobei is not something easy for me to put in words... if need be it will be happy, comforting, beautiful, sometimes frustrating, irritating, but that is how couples should be poking each other now and then irritating and being an eye sore once in a while =) and it goes on and on hehe...
Alright something we done today hehe, it was this DVD she rented “The Notebook”. I’ve heard about this show in the past, very long ago, but after watching it today, I’m not sure how to describe it but it was nice, it was touching, it was good watching with your love one beside you, though certain parts are like “alright move on” but the other parts of the show was nice and simple and sad too and ended not as I thought it would be but it was sort of a happy and sad ending.. Watch it boys and girls, learn to appreciate it haha =D

Car Test!!!
07.20.08 (2:36 am) [edit]Wao!! Went to Mt Tamborine yesterday and Lake Samsonvale today. These two road experiences were terrific challenges for the car haha...
Yesterday on Mt Tamborine, the slopes were like 14% steep and the car had a hard time climbing them but a fun time going down them, Mt Tamborine was filled with little houses and shops around with a lot of natural parks for explorations but we did not venture so far in, most of the time is where the car can stop and park and within walking distances. By the time we went there it was afternoon so we had time for a lavender shop and some small town shopping and some scenery views here and there but nothing really astonishing. Went to search for a Nut shop where they sold all kinds of Macadamia, managed to find the flavour Lishan wanted and bought some others to try... OMG!! ITS HORRIBLE!!! The sour cream ones are disgusting, preferred the chili ones haha =D Alright the car, haha the car really had a lost of power when its in lower gears, and the brakes are like shit most likely due to the steep slopes... well but the car made it eventually =) and for the first time the car went to 370km with one full tank...
Today at Lake Samsonvale, it was all about winding roads, worst than the NUS area there... there is this swirly area but here it was worst, and the road limits were like 80km/h hoho, well no worries, I only kept at 50km/h while driving and turning haha safety first and I don't really trust the car so... HAHA!! but it was mostly motorbikes I see in that area maybe they like to travel such roads instead of the normal highways, who knows.. Well.. in this area the GPS was not very helpful, most of the places I keyed in where out of reach due to mountain roads only suitable for 4WDs and some had to walk all the way to the top of the mountain just to reach so instead we looked for "Lookouts" around the area and headed for about four of them and on our way back had our first sunset viewing hehe!! Initially I wanted to had it at the last lookout but the sun was taking very long and the view was not very nice so we gave up and head back and on the way down I remembered we missed one of the lookout so I turned into it and had the chance to have our first sunset together =)... All these lookout were terrible though, every one of them were like blocked by the surrounding trees and felt like watching a far distance through a window... only two of them had the nicest view with unblocked or rather a wider unblocked view of the natural scenery =) The journey back home was long, and 90% of it was inside the mountain so swinging left and right alone in the dark for like 50km before reaching some civilization... I wonder what would have happened if I had went up there with my last quarter of petrol instead of topping full tank before I head up... I guess we would have stranded up there =S but I knew this would have happened so I topped it up hehe...
The whole holiday were mostly about exploring areas around Brisbane and I have enjoyed all these especially with my Baobei taking photos and enjoying herself.. I wish to find more of such areas but maybe with some more homework done before I just depend on my dumb GPS for suggestions and road recommendations.. Alright school is starting soon and I've got to bring myself back to my books and start focusing on my studies, this time I need to get a higher GPA than last semester =S all the best to me!! =D
