Hi dear friends! Thanks much for the tags, totally brightened my days!!
Ummm...let's see, what have i been up to for the past week?
Well, this weekend went past really fast. I am so blessed to have wonderful friends inviting and introducing me into their homes and lives!
Saturday was spent at Hannah's. A huge beautiful house with a colonial interior and very very tasteful furnitures, paintings, carpet everything. The 5 of us sat by the fireplace and occasionally threw wood logs bought fresh from the Hills. We talked about all kinds of things, shared quite a few laughs. We chatted with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and baked spring rolls. It was l-o-v-el-y. the warmth from a fireplace feels so gentle, the glow was so subtle yet intense at the same time. Before we were aware of it, it was already 2am! How time flies with the right company!
Today was equally exciting! Me and a couple of other friends from Uni were invited to Sari's house for Deepavli celebration with her great extended family! Her parents are sooo nice, and so were her uncles, since it was her uncle's house to begin with. Sari's family have established almost an empire here in little Adelaide, as all uncles are either doctors - cardio, NET, neuro and more or lawyers.
And I bonded with her parents in a 'special' way today cos I found out her dad's an AC boy. And the best part to come... her mum was from RGS and her name is encarved on the huge wooden thingy hanging in RGS hall - she was a Head Prefect!!!! I thought she really reminded me of Azi (our batch head prefect).
It was very fun, and i rediscovered the yummy-li-cious-ness of bone marrow. YUM.
Okay have a great week ahead my lovely friends - JEJE!! CHERYL (yes bernard is in one piece, a little broken but i glued him back), and last but not least, my lovely little shuyan! And everyone else too! May God bless our week ahead abundantly!

Decided to take positive steps to change my tagboard to flooble instead. Realized I missed my friends' encouragements, comments etc since the tagboard started messing up.
Can't wait for the month to come. Last bit of school - lecture, tuts and assignments, then study week and exams! Ah. Fully pumped with adrenaline.
Though this year had been pretty tough, at this point in the school year, I am happy and all set to do it all over again next year and the year after.
And before i go, just a little something for three of my special friends - Shuyan, Daffy and Cheryl:
Shuyan
You have no idea how much your presence in Australia (sadly Melbourne though hehe) means to me. Everything we do together is wonderful and you are wonderful:) You are always so appreciative of me as a sister and as a friend, and that to me, is a sign of your love and friendship. So please don't ever feel like you were not there for me, cos to me, you were and always will be part of my life!
Btw, do you want Choya (the Jap healthy wine thingy cos I left it in Melb, thinking you might want it. There's still quite alot left so send me a msg or sth, and I will tell Ber k!
Daffy
Hey dearie! Thanks sooo much for that call on Sunday! There are so many gaps for us to fill in each other's lives so thanks heaps for doing just that!
You single-handedly reminded me that we are never alone no matter how lonely we feel at times. Just pick up the phone and we both will find perfect companionship. right right?
Cheryl
firstly a disclaimer warning: this might appear too mushy for Cheryl to take and at the end of reading this paragrah, you will be grabbed by two strong hands cos Betty forced a hug on you!
*hugs*
there you go.
Well, Cherrrry, thanks for always being so patient with me, especially when it comes to my spiritual beliefs. thanks for still believing in me and not giving up despite the NUMEROUS backlashes I have/had. Like I said, you are the most not-touchy Christian I know, but that doesn't stop you from being one of the best believers too:)
And apart from that, you are still talking to me even though I have been the lousiest friend ever. And you deserve a truck load of pennies (the British pound) for that!
hugs and kisses to all three of you (and a handkerchief for cheryl to wipe my saliva off her cheeks when I am done)

Yesterday, in a brave attempt to be random (and also cos I miss my niuniu soooo much), I've decided to surf online for dog breeds.
I absolutely love tiny dogs and the only bigger ones I like are either cos they are tooo cute to not like, or they are white. (yes i love white dogs).
When I get a job, I am going to start up a family with a nice apartment and my tiny little dog. I will feed the dog milk, and teach it how to crawl, take a billion and one pictures and allow it to sleep on my king size bed.
Dogs are so much better than babies or children. They are less noisy and annoying, they are loyal and useful (unlike babies). They don't bite your nimples when you feed them, they dont talk rubbish to hurt your feelings or reveal your secrets, and best of all, they don't grow up into a huge thing by which they leave you sad and lonely all over again, because they found someone else to stick to and torture.
The only problem would be the inability to share my genes with the doggy.

Update update:)
I finished a total of 3 assignments, 3 presentations and much much more in the past 7 days.
Yesterday I learnt to love myself and if I can have a fairytale even for a day, it will be worth it.
I am going to stop playing it safe. I am going to throw away my million and one 'what if's. I am going to be happy and free.
I will find the perfect storm that can sweep me away. I will search the whole wide world if I need to, but one day I will find it, i will find you.
Or, you can find me first:)
I will be waiting.
A: But Samantha I love you.
Sam: I love you too. But... I love me more.

Time for an update.
my holidays are coming to an end. This semester is going to be a short but hectic one. Hopefully everything turns out good!
I went to Melb again for most part of the hols to spend some quality time with Ber. Somehow it turned out to be quantity time. Guess we both need time to adjust to having each other around all the time cos we hardly experienced that.
I need to find the right balance between being the perfect sweetie pie gf, and still staying independant and driven.
It's hard to focus on anything else but him whenever I'm with him. It's like I never got out of the 'fresh get together, crazy in love' stage of our relationship. Call me slow or what not, cos after being tog for quite a while already, maybe I should go into the next stage.
but truth is, i like it this way. and secretly i hope this stays the same.
Apart from that, I came back to Adelaide and had this disturbing feeling of nostalgia, and I was asking myself who I missed. Was it melb?? Not really. As lovely as some of the days were, I was almost glad to have some time away from that place. Then it must be Singapore. Cos I have such a wonderful bunch of friends there, friends I havent seen or heard from since I got back. Friends I used to hang out 24/7 but still not get sick, pissed off or irritated by. Friends I can't get enough of, friends I still want and long for.
Just to name a few, I've got Belle, Cheryl, Daffy, Jeje, Baoxin, Br,Zhen, Yun, Wilson and so on. The list is as great for my love for them, and the memories we had and the memories we will have.
So this post is out to these people that made the person I am today. The people I always hold close to my heart, and no distance can take away:)
love always,
ur crazy, sweet, chubbs-ish friend,
Betty,
forever.
