各位觀眾。。。四條七!!!

a friend of mine posted a note on facebook the other day completely written in Chinese [except for a couple of English words here and there] and even though i got the gist of everything she was talking about, i couldn't read everything character for character... and u know what i felt after reading that? 我對自己好失望... why? haven't really caught up with my Chinese lately and instead of getting better, it's getting worse... so to improve it again, i'm watching TVB dramas on youtube and maybe i'll start singing Chinese songs again when i'm at karaoke hehe

so what's with the title of my blog? for those who can't read Chinese, basically the title means "ladies and gentlemen... four 7's!!!" as far as i know, this phrase is meant to be a motivation for one of my law friends... and if she's reading this, i know she's capable of achieving that this sem... she's a very, very smart girl!!! should be a motivation for me too but i'm not smart enough to do THAT well with my subs even though i'm doing decently so far this sem...

u know what that phrase in the title of my blog reminds me of? if anyone's ever seen 賭俠, there's a scene where 周星馳 and 吳孟達 go to see 劉德華 to show off 周星馳's special skills... after seeing 劉德華 carve out 4 aces with a knife, 周星馳 reaches into the pocket of 吳孟達 and announces: "各位觀眾... 五條烟!" and instead of pulling out 5 aces, he pulls out 5 cigarettes XD for those of u who don't get the joke, the character for "aces" and "cigarettes" is exactly the same and is also pronounced the same... it's a freakin' hilarious scene hehe

okies, i have no idea what the point of this blog was... just procrastinating i guess hehe best of luck to everyone for exams... 加油!!!

Short[ish] and sweet

i'm at uni atm and i'm bored... *yawns*

gonna keep all my sentences in this blog short and sweet today 'cause i cbb writing a long essay of what i did like with my last blog and i'm sure i'd bore u guys out newayz hehe

i FINALLY watched Iron Man last nite!!


it was freakin' awesome... even watched the proper ending after the credits... thanks so much GY for taking me to see it... even after all the paying out about not having anyone to see it with hehe

i've been a bit PMSed lately... it's pretty hard to tell most of the time but when i'm at home, my feelings seem to be all outta whack... it sucks =(

spent 3 days straight working and it was actually quite fun despite the hustle and bustle... i've met a few of the newbies and they're quite nice... i enjoy the work atmosphere more now after more than 2 yrs working there hehe

it's fun messing with pplz's minds... after telling everyone i was engaged on MSN last week, i've been bombarded with msgs from pplz either congratulating me or telling me what a big idiot i am for getting engaged so early hehe

for those of u who dunno why i'm suddenly "engaged", it kinda sprang from a convo i had with CC last week... we were commenting about how pplz don't take their relationship statuses on facebook seriously so we figured we'd mess around by saying we were engaged... stay tuned... we'll probably be married soon =P

fave song of the moment: Elevator - Flo Rida feat. Timbaland "she's stuck on my ela-e-elevator"
man, that song is addictive!!! ^__^

a BBQ tomorrow, 21st on Fri, 21st on Sun and assignment due on Mon... i'm gonna be one busy girl this week!!!

okies, that's enough randomness from me today... have a good week everyone!!!

Random ramblings

i feel like writing a longish blog today so get ready for a lotta reading!! there's pics here too so it's prettied up a little hehe

so Easter has pretty much come and gone and it's been an enjoyable few days... Good Friday was spent hanging out with Kev and watching "The Other Boleyn Girl" which i thought was quite good... then off to Julie's for a nice bitching session hehe


Easter Saturday was spent working all day in Country Road which was pretty busy... pplz always tend to go crazy shopping after a big public holiday when all the shops r shut... it's as if they've been deprived of one shopping day and they have to make up for it by doubly shopping the next day... or it could just be 'cause there's a lotta sales around hehe

went to Cath's 21st afterwards and it was so beautiful... with the whole atmosphere, i felt like i was actually at her wedding instead... even her b'day cake looked like a wedding cake!! one part of her party involved 21 of the most important guys in her life giving her a rose and dancing with her whilst 21 of the most important girls in her life made a wish for her and lighted a candle on her cake... thinking i could try and be a bit different, i wished her good health [very Chinese New Year-ish but meh hehe] and a very long, fulfilling life... as well as getting a few invites to her celebrity parties hehe and of course, by special request from everyone at the party, Cath sang a few numbers from the likes of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion... i almost forgot how beautiful her voice was until i heard her sing again... i had tears welling up in my eyes... she's really matured as a person and as a singer and i wish her every success in life... love u long time Cath and thanks for letting me be a part of ur very spesh celebration *hugglez*

photos r courtesy of CC... there's more on facebook!!



after a stopover at the casino, i crashed at CC's place for the nite... even though we got home around 1ish, i didn't sleep 'til 3:30am 'cause i stayed up talking to this guy who also plays APL poker... woke up around 11:30 and after chatting on the net for a bit, CC and i had brunch b4 we started getting ready for CC's Easter Sunday dinner... CC took care of the food while i took care of the creative side of things [namely, making and decorating the Easter baskets hehe]... watched a lotta TV b4 pplz started showing up and after what seemed like eternity, we got to the dinner table and we all got to make and eat rice paper rolls as well as eat some nice Sara Lee cheesecake... also played a pretty fun game of Cranium, went on a late nite Easter egg hunt around CC's front and backyard and played poker whilst watching "300"... i won $3 in the end w00t w00t thanks to CC for letting me crash and for organising this splendid gathering and to Taiki for driving me home... and so sorry for getting u a little lost hehe

my plans for the rest of my holz? 2 more b'day parties, work, study for my PSYC2010 exam, research for my LAWS3111 assignment and gym... and hopefully i get to slot in some time to get my hair done as well... i haven't done anything to my hair for nearly 6 months now!!

and to live up to the name of today's blog, here r some random ramblings:
~ normally i don't ever remember my dreams but last nite, i had a dream that me and Mr Sparkle were a couple... even though i've never talked to the guy in my life and i've only ever seen him 3 times, the feeling i got after i woke up today was really nice and it put a big smile on my face... it's been a while since i've felt that way... and b4 i get bombarded with msgs of "OMG, who is this Mr Sparkle?! u've never told me about him" etc etc, i don't like him nor do i have a crush on him =P

~ a thought crossed my mind today as i was checking my facebook... for those of u who dunno, facebook's recently updated their privacy settings allowing us to control who sees what on our profiles... i dunno about other pplz but it's things like this that make me think that nobody trusts anyone anymore... and it's a little ironic 'cause we kinda put it on ourselves... we risk trusting other pplz, they lose the trust and 'cause of that, we get wary and cautious of pplz we know now and in the future... i just find it quite sad... then again, who am i to talk?! i trust very few pplz nowadays

~ just finished watching ep 17 of 最美麗的第七天 and the situations r so sad... after watching it, i'm REALLY hoping there's at least one happy ending here... especially for TVB Mr Sparkle and Niki... they've done so much for each other... [SPOILERS AHEAD...] she went all across Japan to look for him and stayed by his side even though she was sick and he bought her all 4 commitment rings and even designed her dream house... [END OF SPOILERS] it's just really, really, ridiculously sweet *sighs* btw Beckie, TVB Mr Sparkle's real name is 鄭嘉穎 [Kevin Cheng] hehe

~ i had a look at some of the personality traits of my birth month and a few of them were quite intriguing...

SEPTEMBER:
Suave and compromising. Careful, cautious and organized. Likes to
point out people's mistakes. Likes to criticize. Stubborn. Quiet but able to talk
well. Calm and cool. Kind and sympathetic. Concerned and detailed.
Loyal but not always honest. Does work well. Very confident. Sensitive.
Thinking generous. Good memory. Clever and knowledgeable. Loves to look for
information. Must control oneself when criticizing. Able to motivate
oneself. Understanding. Fun to be around. Secretive. Loves sports, leisure
and traveling. Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Very choosy, especially in relationships. Systematic.

i think i've blabbed on for long enough today... take care everyone!!

My first blog [here]

okies okies, call me a copycat or whatever but i figured since i'm blogging more often, i might as well blog on an actual blog site!! facebook's all well and good but i really think i should stop going on that site so often... it's like i don't have a life or something hehe

:: A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS... ::

1. had a bit of an embarassing day at uni yesterday... started the day by waking up at nearly 12 and then after passing up 2 free rides to uni, i missed not 1, not 2, but 3 buses in a row... ended up being late for my only class of the day which started at 4pm... had to sit on the floor for the entire lecture 'cause there was no space left... and right after i went to sit down, i got a msg from Ketty and since i didn't have time to turn my phone to silent, my Homer Simpson msg tone went off and i was like "CRAP!!"... everyone was looking at me *sighs*

to top it off, i didn't have time to eat on the way to uni so i was absolutely starving by the time class rolled around and my stomach was grumbling REALLY loudly throughout half the lecture 'til the break when i got a packet of chips to eat >_<" also played a bit of poker at the Red Room which was crap 'cause i got crap cards the whole nite... to sum it all up, my first day of uni sucked ass!

2. Sun and Mon nites r officially my fave nites to watch TV... saw the last 2 eps of "So You Think You Can Dance" [my fave show atm] and i'm so shocked that Hilton ended up leaving... don't care so much for Kassy 'cause i wasn't the biggest fan of her to begin with [even though i think she's a decent dancer]... atm, my 2 fave couples r J.D. and Rhiannon [can't believe they were in the bottom 3 *shock horror*] and Demi and Jack... they're all awesome dancers!! makes me wanna learn to dance... but i'm so unco =(

3. to expand on point 2, SYTYCD has inspired me to try and get good at DDR again... a goal of mine that i've tried to achieve for the past few yrs [b4 i stopped playing DDR] was to pass "Sakura" on Standard mode... i always told myself that once i passed that song, i'd start playing Heavy mode on DDR... i've downloaded Stepmania onto my laptop and i can pass the song pretty easily with the keyboard so i'm gonna use that as a chance to learn the steps... i'm hoping soon enough that i will be able to pass this song with no help... how sad of me hehe wish me luck!!

4. i wanna say thanks to the following pplz:

to Julie: for the dedication on ur blog... i'm pretty sure u dunno this but it really brightened up my day when i saw that... i was feeling a little emo yesterday and seeing ur note cheered me up =) i'm glad u're doing better!!
to Jeann: for clearing up who beeped at me at Toowong... i was like "what the?!" when i heard the beeping and i couldn't make out who was waving at me... so don't think i was ignoring u or anything!! hehe

5. i also wanna welcome back Tiff who's back in Brissy today after spending waaaaaaaaaay too long in the Phillippines... i missed u so much girl!! *hugglez*

6. cooked my 2nd bowl of mee goreng ever today [i normally don't have mee goreng in the house...] and i thought everything was okies 'til i looked at the stove and found out i partially melted one of my Mum's microwaveable containers >_<" this is what happens when i actually cook stuff for a change *sighs*

that's it from me today... stay tuned for more randomness!!
