Over and Out

Been a along weekend. Graduation was pretty much like that of a wedding. Was up since 7.30am and the photo taking sessions went on...and on...... Thw photograph taking session ended at about 3pm and I headed over to the hotel to greet my parents. After another mad rush at the hotel, I did a quick change and headed for Curtin Uni with my parents. (Like evening banquet) And more pictures had to be taken in Uni.

Everything was in order. Was really impress with the efficient staff and organisational skills of the school. Afterall, thay have done this many many times.

Drove my parents around Perth. I can say that I really dun fancy driving around, at least not with my parents in the car.

That is all for now while i do some last minute packing and head off for lunch with Jon. I am going to miss what I have built in Perth and most importantly a few very important friends in my life. Adios!

The Regalia

Met Alvin in school to collect our regalia together. Curtin was bustling with activities. The truth be told that I have never attended 'O' Week. (Or did I?) Hmmm....anyway, it was really crowded with all the freshies. There were free food, free drinks, free candy, free men? LoLx. Lotsa free stuff lah.

Was really excited about the collection of the regalia. It is afterall the most expensive outfit that I will ever wear. (Plus effort and tuition fees)

Here is a a glimpse of the expensive outfit before I pose in it. Doesn't look exactly like a piece of couture. But I still think that black and pink is the IN colour this season.

Cheers to years of hardwork and more work to come. And a hearty congratulations to all my friends who are graduating this year.

Mangoes anyone?

Perth is officially now the place for me to be if I decide to rest and relax. Currently in the stress free mode, I simple love it. One might wonder what exactly does Adrian do in Perth? Is there seriously anything left for him to engage in, considering that he has been here for almost 2 years. The Answer in yes! I just do what I like best, baking, cooking, chilling, museums and just doing nothing.

Baked some mango cream puffs for Brian. (Inspired by cheap ripe mangoes from Freo) Took time off in the same day to visit Brian's new place. A great job done to spruce up the place and making it into a designer room. Congrats!

Today is gonna be busy with collection of the regalia and preparation for the big day tomorrow. I wonder how my parents would react towards Perth. Kinda worried that I might not be a good host. Oh well. We will see how things go.

Surreal

A surreal feeling surges over me, as I am watching VH Special on a sunday morning(Kylie special). Yes, I am finally back in Perth.

The flight back in was better than expected. It has been awhile since I last took a Qantas flight. Thank god for their inflight entertainment. Wonder how one would survive a 5 hrs flight without inflight entertainment.

No drams at the immigration this time and also the first time that i declared food stuff at the customs. They were so easy. I just had to tell them what I had and they allowed me through. No fuss. And so my friends in Australia will now be able to get a taste if pineapple tarts from SG. WooHoo.

Cleaned up Jon's room and upacked. And I was wondering where did all my clothes went in SG. They were all here! Die lah! How to bring them back to SG?

Dinner was at Izumi @Victoria Park with Brian. We were both tired from the late nite before and the flight back into Perth. Simple dinner ended by 9pm. And I was home watching Supre Advertisements. (Dun they ever change it?)

I am just waiting for the sheets to be ready for drying.

Here are some pics from the party at Mox. A big thank you to all who came and made it memorable.

A weekend of Fun and Work

The weekend was great with dinner at P.S Cafe. The ambience brightened my hazy mood. We were all dressed for the occasion. And it was worth every bit of effort. Dinner was simple yet elaborate in ways. TM and I thought that the walk before reaching the restaurant really amplified our joy and excitement. Haha. The feeling cannot be described. It simply feels good.

The celebratory mood called for a toast to the Birthday Boy, Mr. Brian Loon. Happy Birthday my friend.

Worst week

This may be the worst week ever for me. I am due for Guard Duty again tomolo. But a phone call from TO made my day. At least it reminded me that I will actually be in Australia soon enough. Infact in exactly 1 week, I will be stepping on foreign land. Yay! For now I just need to stay focus and complete the 24hrs duty.

Wait for me!!!

A Chinese New Year that defies tradition

Stepping into the 8th day of CNY, it seems weird. I am still lost. I really do not know what are my bearings now. The CNY this year has a different meaning to me. Showing that I have aged and am a different person altogether. Gone are the days I would enjoying gambling on the table for Blackjack and feeling nervous about the game. These days, winning is good losing means I get one less drink at the bar. LoLx

Can't wait for my Australia trip. A much needed break before I start the working game. The only issue about the trip would be the fact that it might be the last time I am seeing some of my dear friends there. The amazing bit would be that some of these friends are moving into a new environment that I want to be part of it. A transition in their life. It is not always that you find some friends and definately not always you get a chance to be part of their supposed life- changing experience. Much gratification towards them for being part of my life during the last 2 years. The ups and the downs, the good and the bad. They have been there when I was happy and always there when I am lost. I know that life without them will be different, might be empty. But it is through such absence that makes the heart grow fonder. Looking forward for their arrival again at Terminal 2.

Always be good to yourself. Always enjoying life the way we have.
