Sunday, March 18, 2007
time for an update again.
went out for lunch with Huimin's auntie on friday, cos she's going away for a long holiday and her first stop is Singapore for a day on Sunday and after that is country hopping. She drove us to Sunnybank for Dim Sum, at first our plan was to go to Westend to have sushi but somehow we got lost so went to Sunnybank instead, when her auntie first told us that we'll be going to Shangri-la, we were like..??..huh?? cos we were all in casuals, as in slippers shirt berms..but it turns out, just the name of the restaurant is Shangri-la..haha..funny..
yesterday was St Patricks day, so alot of people ouside were wearing green or stuffs that had to do with Irish, and ya, i bought a Irish gold Lotto ticket and i won some money!!..haha..not alot, jus a little, bought myself a tennis racket for 50 bucks at indooroopilly from A-mart, went grocery shopping, the cashier didn't scan the most expensive item in the trolley which is the pork leg, haha, Sharon got herself a freebie as well, shan't elaborate on that, just that yesterday was a lucky day for everyone, including my parents back home in singapore, i hope it'll be a lucky day again for them today, haha, it's a busy for them today though, they are going to get me a laptop cooler, go to the newly opened GIANT..go dua pek gong to bai bai..they are getting a new house phone, and going IKEA to get a shelve for the newly bought microwave oven!!..YES!! they bought so much new stuffs when i'm not there!!!..

woke up today with a bloody nose..Huimin asked if me and sharon fought with each other during the night..haha...
i went to the bathroom to brush teeth and wash my face, when i was toweling dry, there was a red patch on my towel, and i was like..wad the!!??..NOSEBLEED!!...that's only the 2nd time i ever had a nosebleed in my entire life k??..the first time was back in Ping Yi during NPCC camp, Joy will know, cos she was there too..
went to school soon after, so happy today, cos i finished my Maths assignment..haha..with the help of some tutors..but i finished before the deadline which is friday..not too bad rite..gotta do them earlier, left it till quite last minute last week..hehe..
came home for lunch and dinner then went off to school again for table tennis, every wednesdays we have fixtures to play as i was saying couple of posts back, today was TEAM SINGAPORE vs TEAM HONGKONG..haha..actually when ppl ask me, i really dunno if i should say i'm from Singapore or Malaysia..often i have to explain myself, that i grew up in Singapore, blah blah blah..lolz..cos my paired partner is a singaporean and the team we were against were brothers from hongkong, Andy Lau and Jacky Lau, ya u heard me...Andy Lau..haha..i asked him if his chinese name was liu de hua and he said no..lolz..funny guy..anyway, i won both the brothers, but we still lost on overall, cos we lost on doubles and my partner lost both his games with the brothers, oh well, he had a bad day, had a minor accident with his car at the sports centre carpark, he kena the pillar, quite heart pain..haha..
came home after the game and guess wad!!..i was sitting in front of my com, and my nose felt wet, it was bleeding agaiN....this time even more than the morning one, wa..this time really break record man, twice in a day..told mummy and pa about it, they said could be due to weather change that's why i nosebleed, oh well, i hope it doesn't happen too often..it's turning cooler here in Brisbane, gonna be Autumn soon i think...
