11:02PM - Seriously..

Seriously, I have no idea who to write. Life has been boring, exams still ongoing, was really depressed yesterday after my crappy Econometrics paper..so didn't touch any text after that, just slept my woes away. Called Lindy cause she was having a bad day too, both of us really can't for 9th July, for our Bangkok holiday..we all need a break, seriously. Too many stuff have been happening, mostly sad stuff, all I say is, I'm really looking forward to going home next Saturday. Can't wait to see my family, see my BFITWWWs, see my Puffy, Ashley and Monstie.. can't wait to watch movies (the last one I watched was in Feb), can't wait to just chillax! One more paper to goooooooooooooooooooo....breathe Ying, breathe!

But I got a really surprise today.. Liying, Sapna and Pauline swung by my place this morning and walked me to the bookshop for work, kept me company at the bookshop, those short few hours were so sweet and awesome. Miss them so much. These girls rock..love them! :) They made my day!

Will just post some pics of shoes.. shoes that walk me to school everyday..

I have a huge thing for Mary Janes now.. these patent ones are my favourite of the year..

Elegant grey flat pumps..love grey!


Bought these 2 pairs cause they were on sale, buy 2, 2nd one 50% off.. and they're super comfy! Almost worn to death by me now..

My favourite biscuits for my tea-time breaks, er.. more like cause they're cheap la. One big pack for $2.99! haha

Forever haunted by books..one more week to go..breathe!

I think i lost weight from all that Accounting stress..

Freezing now, love big cuddly sweaters with tights..tights rock!

Love colourful tights!

Started growing rosemary at home.. great for cooking Italiano food!



My dear friends..coming home soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait for meeeeeeeeee

8:07PM - My tiny little perfect house

This is my small house.. it's kinda small but cosy. Nothing much yet but it's perfect. It's my small little haven..

My little living room.. quite empty. Boring but it's ok..we picked up 2 TVs from the roadside and they work!

Everything bought from IKEA..

My tidy, clean little kitchen.. i'm messy but i'm a clean freak when it comes to kitchen so i like everything to be in perfect little order..

3 girls, so many pairs of shoes.. and we haven't even taken out our winter collection yet..

My bedside essentials..vitamins, water, lotions, clock and lots of books and magazines (Newsweek, Time, The Economist, Allure, Glamour, books by Mitch Albom, The Kite Runner..)


My nice little cosy bed.. so comfortable, so pretty, i pass out so easily every night :)


All my expensive textbooks (1 finance textbook pack is 160 bucks!!!).. my study tools in military style order, otherwise i'll feel extremely frustrated..I think i may have C.O.D (Compulsive Obssessive Disorder)

My small study table.. i don't need a big one cause i can't study with the laptop on, so i'll usually keep my laptop away and really mugggggggggg...not bad hor? hahahaha.. i'm a chao mugger..


But a girl still needs her vanity section, it's extremely parred down already.. my makeup case is a big mess! Nyxie my inspiration! hahaha.. i tried to dress nice for school but it only lasted for like a few days.. i shall try harder!


I think i am rather neat..no?


Well.. just from different angles.. love my room! It's so tiny you can hardly walk in it but it has my everything!!!

Love Grace Kelly.. simple elegance never fails. Timeless beauty.

My house and school keepers.. One-eye Mogwai to guard my house keys, my organiser to keep track of my school life :)

For now, my life is perfect. I am not a homeless vagrant anymore, my housemate Ariel is perfect, the other one is she-whom-I-not-interested-to-mention, school is great (although Corporate Accounting is killing me). Granted to take triple major so I'm making friends with Corporate Finance, Investment Finance and Money & Banking. These will my tools i keep under my Hugo Boss power suits when i step into the finance industry. Met a lot of great people this year too..Luc loves me, my love life is great, i can't ask for anything better right at this moment.

I am embarking on a gardening project right now, a bit over-ambitious but i want to see tulips, freesias, sweet peas and lots of pretty flowers sprouting in my garden!!! Ariel will be my fellow gardener! HEH! She plants edible stuff and i plant pretty things..I think i may have been influenced once upon a time by a poem titled "Dancing Daffodils" or something, now all i can envision is my garden in a sea of brightly coloured flowers dancing in the wind..

While I've made fabulous new friends, i miss my friends back home enormously.. All my loved ones has made my life perfect. Just one thing missing in my new house--cuddly fat cats..oh well, i guess one can't have everything.

9:00PM - HAPPY EASTER!

A nice break at last.. with the housing woes behind me, study woes temporarily forgotten, went to the beach with Ariel and Allen to relax a bit.. The weather was beautiful, 27 degrees only, the waves were really kind of violent but was so fun when we got into the water and were bobbing up and down with the waves.. went to the Nudity Beach, saw er.. loads of "sausages".. haha.. cheap thrill of the day..



And if you're wondering why i'm not in any of the pictures, it's because i was wearing a white bikini but feeling like a beached sperm whale..

Will start my diet tomorrow.. will tidy up my room, take some pictures of my nice house and post them soon..

8:31PM - NYXIE is going to STANFORD!

Received one of the biggest news a few days back, NYXIE is going to STANFORD! She is one of my inspirations now.. haha.. SMART, PRETTY, ONE OF MY BEST BABES, I really don't know how she manages her fabulous life but to know that one of your best girlfriends will soon have her dream realised is one of the best news ever.. am so happy for her so this is dedicated to her--NYXIE, the goddess of the night, my BFITWW, one of my golden girls in this lifetime..

When Nyxie was still a budding lady..

Can't imagine my life without Nyxie..

Seeing the smile on her face is one of my greatest joys..

Linda was the engineer behind our friendship..

We played hard..

She was with me through the ups and downs.. i'll kiss her my whole life..

She's truly the Goddess of the Night..


She worked hard, played hard, is impossibly gorgeous, impossibly smart and I am glad that her dream has come true.. I love you Daffy!

Luc baby got me an animal journal when we went to the Night Safari.. am missing him so much already..

I was sick and tired and mean..a bitch, a grouch and while i was nursing my tonsilitis in his hotel room, he ran out to get me a Gucci wallet as a surprise.. I think I found a gem. I love you baby.

2:14PM - Withdrawal symptoms

Heh, Xiang has been complaining that I don't really update my blog. But I think it's more like not being unable to find anything to blog about. Too lazy to upload photos too. I am more like a sporadic blogger than a regular one. Not much happenings except that I am bogged down by my accomodation woes and now i'm reduced to spending all my time outside work to look for a one pathetic house to stay in Perth. UWA campus is great, stunning medieval architecture, great lake view.. simply because it's so great, looking for a house near campus ground is a catastrophic nightmare. Nobody wants to move out and everybody wants to move in!

Getting withdrawal symptoms.. haven't been watching Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Family Guy and Lord of the Rings. Used to watch LOTR everyday or every other day.. even when i'm doing something, i'll just play it on my dvd player for it to run in the background. So many books i want to buy and bring back to Perth, shall go to Kino or Borders to stock up on my books supply soon. Running out of stuff to read before bedtime. Lost my copy of "Tuesdays with Morrie". Very upset. Everybody seems to like watching MTV channel, I am still a loyalist of Animal Planet and Travel & Living. Mega upset. Federer was unable to reach the final in Australian Open. Djonkovic is really great but Federer is still No. 1 in my heart. Am hoping to see him surpass Sampras' legacy. I want to watch Australian Open in Melbourne next season!!!!!!!!

11:00AM - Stop the whaling!

Why do Japanese need to kill hundreds of whales for their claimed research purposes? Surely they know that the whales they are hunting down are on the brink of extinction? For research purposes, doesn't it make more sense to keep the whale populations alive and striving so that our future generations will be able to continue the research and allow us to understand the different species of this sea mammal in greater light? What happened to high-technology methods such as satellite tracker? Aren't advances in technology supposed to assist us in refining our research methodology? What happened to long-term research? As to whether the carcasses of the whales really end up in research labs or on diners' plates as sashimi delicacies or blubber in industrial uses is still to be debated worldwide. In the name of research as a smokescreen for commercial whaling? Reckless killing of whales using harpoons is inhumane and I applaud activists and campaigners onboard Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace for fighting against such irrationale acts and raising international awareness against whaling.

Mortgage sub-prime crisis, pending recession looming in US, civil war in Kenya, bombing in Beirut, severe snowstorms in China, fuel cutoff in Gaza.. makes me wonder what kind of world do we really live in. Chinese New Year is just about the corner and what I really wish for is a better world for us to live in. Probably just a fool's hope too. And less stalking psychos in this world who think that the world revolves around their love issues..I suggest they direct their witless, feeble and unthinking minds to the attention of the world at large. Indeed, our world needs less incomprehensible unbelievable nincompoops like them and more campaigners fighting for a better tomorrow.

2:56PM - Dinner date with Xiang Xiang

Had dinner with Xiang Xiang, did some X'mas shopping.. Saw a gorgeous dress at Topshop, saw a to-die-for red Tod's bag, bought a pair of pretty sandals.. Starting work on Monday in a French Investment Bank.. i need to get some work clothes cause some of them are freaking tight.. hahaha but good news is i have lost 1.5kgs so far. I eat 2 small meals everyday..i try not to eat after 6pm. It is damn torturous at night when your tummy starts growling so i just try to soothe it with fat free milk before i sleep. Dieting is a very long, drawn out process.. :( I have another 3.5kgs more to go..

Love Chanel.. but it's getting dirty.. heartpain! Have always wanted the classic black and white one but i know it'll definitely be dirtied so i ended up picking this beige one.

Felt fat so just pulled on a black t-shirt.. hopefully when i get to a killer whale size and not a big blue whale any longer, i'll start wearing more exciting clothes!


Back at Taka X'mas tree every year :)

Chanel.. the house of my desires..

We like the big red X'mas flowers in the background!

My gorgeous sandals :)

1:18PM - Movies marathon!!!

Out with Lindy and Huiyu, watched 2 movies in one day!!!! Damn shiok! Haven't watched movies for soooooo looooooooong!!!! Watched "Lust, Caution" and "2 Days in Paris".. both were great!!! "Lust, Caution" is a pretty heavy movie, sombre, tense and full of nudity but Tony Leung is damn sexy.. hahahaha. "2 Days in Paris" is a fantastic romantic comedy, the entire movie is in French and English! Reminds me of my Luc! Miss my baby so much! :(

Brought my Miu Miu bag out for a walk! :) Love its vintage design.. love it to death!

La Baleine is getting ready to get out of the house!

Lunch!!!! Lindy and her usual soupy food.. hahaha with loads of chilli!


La Baleine (da jin yu) on diet so i ate just one small popiah..

But i couldn't resist ice-kachang and red bean soup..

So i started digging in..(nah.. was just trying to shift the ice-kachang so that Lindy would be able to take a picture of pretty pink colouring on it.. i bet Daffy must be thinking.."Don't bluff!" hahaha

And so i tucked in! Yum!

Unit fighting over food!!!

Coffee break time! Back at Ya-kun again.. no toast! just drinks..Huiyu is damn adorable la! Little eskimo!








Daffy.. jealous not??? hahaha Linda and i specially took these pictures for you! xP

Both Lindy and I think that this photo has such fantastic artistic flair to it..so Wanj, this is dedicated to you!


One stretch of road was lighted in blue (see that snowflake centrepiece? I love it!) and another stretch was lighted in orange and the centrepiece is a big bright star!

Love "2 Days in Paris"!!! It's hilarious!

12:12AM - it's official.. i am a whale.

Weighed myself yesterday and i am a whale. It's official. My weighing scale tells me so.. going on a strict diet now. My darling said he'll love me no matter what.. baby, i'm La Baleine (whale) now, i hope your love is big enough for this! Je suis une tres grande baleine. (i don't if it's right.. haha either you or Daffy can correct me!)I need to eat like a whale, eat microscopic food! But in microscopic portions too!! Sob!
Today is my last day of indulgence. I am still a hawker girl at heart.. all my favourite foods are at hawker centres, i'd trade in foie gras for oyster omelette anytime.. :)
Gonna spend the day with Lindy tomorrow! YAY!!!!!

Went cycling yesterday.. wee!

Takeaway lunch from Dino cause it was simply overcrowded there.. love Mee Siam!!!

World's yummiest sugar roll (softest and fluffiest!!) and tapioca cake.. Auntie Dino(forgot her name.. sorry auntie) gave me 3 extra chocolate muffins for free! Cause I am like her most loyal customer! :)

A few hours later.. Dad wanted his kopi fix so we went to Ya-kun for kopi, eggs and toast..and i had ice milo! :)

See that thick slab of butter with all that kaya???? I had half a slice and gave everything to Dad.. i can't afford to get any bigger..

And another couple hours later.. dinner!!! Meatball noodle soup at Kovan! Been dreaming about this for months, this is to die for.....heaven!

10:47PM - He by the name of Luc

He who makes me laugh
He who cooks for me
He who tucks me into bed every night
He who brings me Hello Panda
He who brings me Kit Kat
He who even helps me pack and clean
He who loves me very much everyday
I just want to say..
Je t'aime beaucoup, Luc.

5:43PM - My lifetime love affair..

Was trying to tidy up my room and many pairs of unfamiliar shoes which i have never known to exist under my nose came popping up one by one.. decided to take pictures of my shoes but gave up halfway.. too tiring. I wasn't even halfway through my collection..haha.. maybe one-third which adds to the fact that i have about 80 or 90 pairs of shoes??? I am kinda alarmed myself.. but nothing is going to stop my love affair with shoes and bags.. :)






YSL lookalike!





Love patent! Couldn't decide between the black and the red so got both. Pointy stilettos are classics..one can never have more!
