greetings from melbourne.

i was so excited and nervous about leaving for melbourne to meet mr ong till i was a total airhead on tuesday. i did the most ridiculous and bimbotic things ever but umm it's okay. if you don't already know, you don't have to.

i got checked a million times on this side. perhaps a young azn lady traveling alone on first class screams something illegal like prostitute or black market boss' daughter or some shit. and some of the accents were so thick, i couldn't make out what they were asking at all. yea koalabear kangaroo, bundoora gloria jean's crocodile dundee to you too, mate.

it's freaking cold here. i mean yeah winter duh. but didn't expect it to be this cold and i really look like a bahzhang when i throw on the layers, but less triangular i guess, something like a squished bahzhang.

anyway the boyfriend's papers still aren't over so i haven't seen much of melbourne. but well primary purpose here ain't to sightsee anyway. it's great to be able to spend some time together again, and to find that nothing's changed and that perhaps we have only grown stronger. so well sorry to the haters, this isn't gonna end anytime soon so you're gonna have to hold back that 'i told you so' nyaahaaa.

the crows here sound weird. the squawking sounds so man-made. when i first got here i thought it was some guy going "aawwkk awwwwk". okay you get the idea righttt.

i feel a bit homesick. i miss the food and my friends.but i have to say, both panghao and i are rathe decent cooks. damn our kids will be such lucky assholes.

auntie at heart.

hurhur looks like i've infected enough people with that japanese song long enough. and i can't believe i just began a post with 'hurhur'.

the weather has been insane lately. the heat is absurd. usually the interior of our house stays cool despite a relatively hot day. this is the first time i feel like i'm being cooked in the house. like chloe fillet mignon anyone?

i'm 21, but i think the 40 year old in me is lurking somewhere. evidence:

-my favourite choice of snack at home apart from fruits is my dad's well stocked stash of groundnuts. (initially i typed 'dad's groundnuts' and that sounded wrong.)yes the "big thumb" groundnuts. like best tv snack everrr.

-when buying shoes i totally go for comfort over style. i just bought a pair of moccasins which to most 21 year old fashion divas would seem "eew zomg totally auntie and low class", but whatever. at least i'm not getting those blisters and corns and what nots.

-turn on the radio and it's gold 90.5fm. class 95 used to be okay, but now the djs are getting younger and more annoying, and occasionally you have to listen to crap by paris hilton, fergie and rihanna. i'm sorry but these people and the like can't sing for shit.

-i guess that's why i am always so slow to catch on to what's current in the music scene. the most current i get is to buy new CD releases from my favourite artistes. you know it took me like months to find out 'thks fr th mmrs' stood for thanks for the memories. i honestly thought it stood for thanks for the MURMURS. i mean any idiot who can't speak with vowels is murmuring right. like totally act cool la. perhaps i should start calling myself CHL FR. okay no good, looks like choloroform.

-i would totally choose a housevisit over going out to crowded places anytime. i think i inherit this from my dad. he absoutely hates crowded places, and we always used to call him a ko-tak gui.

-i go apeshit at supermarkets. omg i love shopping for groceries, household items (even things like dishwashing liquid) and furniture.

nevertheless, chloe fair > you still. and i guess it's apt that i'm dating an ahpek ahaha.

good thing: only three days till i see the boyfriend again!
bad thing: haven't started packing OHMYGOD. how the fuck do you pack for 5 weeks seriously.
