 Over the years, there are many instances when I have said to my dear then boyfriend, now husband: I want to remember this moment. With my terrible memory, of course, I only remember saying those words but not remembering those particular moments. 

Now, I will make it a point to document them.

I want to remember this moment: bringing my almost 14 week old Jacob-B to a somewhat fancy taiwanese restaurant in malvern. Light jazzy Christmas music playing in the background and my love choosing to order 1 or 2 entrees to go with our oyster mee sua + taiwanese beef noodles. ❤️ Simple pleasures in life.

What makes me happy?

As I am casually scrolling through my news feed on facebook, enjoying this blissful moment of not caring about assignments due date just for a little while because I just frigging handed one in earlier today, looking at  not 1, not 2 but a few other couples happily married, friends going up the ladder in their career, the one person i slapped in life appearing in some of the wedding pictures, how someone who used to be quite a big part of my life is now celebrating his life with another, most importantly, my sister graduating and getting another step closer when she will come over to Aus so there will be five... All of these, and suddenly this question pops into my head: what makes me happy? (Yes yes, its another self-absorbed blog, it IS my blog, i say what I want) =P

So yeah, what makes me happy? I wonder. Mmm, maybe right now, i would just re-install gunbound and see where that brings me, or continue moving Link around in the mystical world, or maybe I should sleep. Mmm, maybe I should.....

Haha, I am kidding. I do fall asleep that quickly, but this post really is for me to give a shout out to my dear beautiful sister Rebecca. Firstly, congrats on your graduation! I can't wait till you get here. You always allow me to be crazy with you. I need that break from all that hiding my craziness. I can't wait till you're here to unleash that craziness with me. You my dear sister, makes me happy.

Lotsa love~~ *can't wait*

Pan's Whisper

I knew I hadn't chose the wrong book on the last day of my placement.

It was Friday, last day of my teaching round in DHS. I spent period 4 looking at the fiction section. Hundred of books but I chose this one - Pan's whisper by Sue Lawson. I take pride in my ability of choosing awesome books.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Left me crying at least in three different parts of the book but I really did enjoy reading it.

Struggles of two sisters dealing with their bipolar mother. You need to get hold of it. It is so good that I want to make sure I am not ruining it for anyone.

So, the past two days have been much like a relaxation for me. Handed in my Chem assignment talking about water cycle misconceptions, squash, awesome korean dinner with sisters, karaoke with kimkim, sleepover at san jie's, morning tinkering with the piano, footy (bombers vs lions! Lions won, they were pretty good i have to say.) with 4n20 angus pies(yum yum), bra shopping, star trek movie, FINISHED THE BOOK!

Overall Rating for Star Trek: 8.5/10

I guess it has little to do with how I am slightly happier lately. I just can't point it down as to why. But yeah, I am happy. Maybe one day I will be part of the foster children system. *NOT AS A CHILD PLEASE, AS A PROUD PARENT*

Cheers,
Esther and Elizabeth from Melbourne MCG

Adam The Movie

So, I just watched Adam the Movie. It has really beautiful soundtracks and the storyline is just so EPIC! Heh, you know, chick flick usually have like "this-only-happens-in-the-movies" scene? But I like how the movie has its build up and climax and the ending and is not cliche. Though, being me, I would like a happier ending, they coulda gotten married and have kids. LOL. I want every movie ending to be that if I can make them. *maybe just in my head I will*

Anyway, to spoil the story for you, since I think not many people will want to watch it, it is obviously about a guy name Adam. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism and can't interact with NTs well. (NT = neural typical aka people who have normal brain functioning?) Well, he is afraid of public places, talking to people unless related to something that is in his interest: Astronomy. So there came this girl, very pretty girl, Beth whom just got her heart broken by a jerk, they stay in the same apartment. And so, Beth took an interest in Adam and they started going out. Long story short, they tried hard to get Adam to fit in the real world, not just in his own, and one day when Adam said he wanted Beth to move out with him somewhere away from her family to where his new job is, Beth asked him why. He answered with: because you are a part of me (which you will think wow. What a good reply, she will definitely go with him now) Then it went downhill. Cause he said this after: I need you to help me get around and etc etc(you know, cause he can't connect well socially and Beth actually takes the time to understand him). When he said this I was like. oh Adam. WHYYY!!! But he was really just being honest. He is so straightforward and was just expressing what he truly felt(Asperger's Syndrome does that to you apparently). Because of that, they part ways. The story didn't end there. He went on to his new job and was doing great, Beth was kind of a catalyst for him to realize that he needed to do things on his own. He started to be more considerate of people. Beth still kept in contact with him, in my head, they slowly got to know each other's new life and got back together in the end, building each other up for the better. =)

I guess, one reason why I liked the movie was cause it doesn't have the typical happy ever after ending too. This makes it more... realistic. Not everything works out to the way you want it to be and doesn't mean if its the best, it will work out that way. But having them taking time off while growing up and maybe getting back together after they are matured(of course this is what happens in my mind) is the best for them too. =) (Adam the Movie: 8/10)

No, this is not a message that you're given a second chance. (yes this message is directed to you, you know who you are). 

Anyway, this is the prologue main theme, just to get you to love part of the movie so you have the urge to want to watch it yourself! =P

And these are the beautiful people in my world. =)

 Thank you mommy daddy for bringing me into the world. I am able to enjoy God and all there is in the world, be where I am now and was given a chance to experience love and to love. =') Oh btw daddy! Big shout out to you! Happy father's day!!

Eunice328 my cute little sister. Muahhh, Esther jiejie love you always. Thanks for making daddy father's day desert. Great work! It looks yummy. Make some for me when I am back kk? P.S. Please don't grow up so quickly. =P 

I love the new blog interface! So much easier to use and uploading photos and embedding is so much fasteer now!! =D

I held a lit cigarette in hand!

Yes, that is the most interesting story of my week. I really did hold a lit cigarette in hand. O.O Did i try it? No. Am i a good girl or what? :D So i was with a friend, and due to privacy issue, the name could not be disclosed, but we will name her "A" for now. So, A told me to try it cause i was staring so intently(mainly cause i don't have many friends who smoke and i can't stare at smokers stranger when they do, I'M CURIOUS OKAY!) A passed it to me and i took a picture of it. :P But nope, i didn't smoke. Basically these were the thoughts running through my mind: "its just one puff, nothing will happen." "My poor alveoli will suffer blackening coloration." "I got to try it at least once?" "omgosh lung cancer, NO!." so i stopped there and didn't take it!Mexican fish. Check out more pictures on google! DAM COOL! haha
Next, oh yeah, as i said before i now have Max yeah? This is him! So sexaay! :P
I blackened the number plate. :P

I also went swimming during the week. How unfit i am! I thought i was unfit but didn't know that it was in the extreme levels? Swimming here, they have lap lanes where you get to choose to do fast, medium or slow lane. So being the "i know my limit" esther, i went onto the slow lane. Gosh, i couldn't even swim the first 50m continuously. Had to dog paddle over halfway through. 0.0 It was that bad. After that i was so sore i couldn't even lift my hands. But, good exercise. I had fun. Thanks Nikki. :)

Coming up just a bunch of random photos taken over the week. I am so tired this semester, there is hardly time to breathe. So i am not really gonna sort out the pictures. Pardon me. (I find people who use pardon me super gentleman! Like, seriously, i know it is just another way of saying I am sorry. But pardon me.)

My phone is pretty good, so read this i think the last reply was the funniest! Love it! haha
Treat for the week long work. Strawberry fruit mix with rainbow jelly. Yum yum. Not too sweet. :) and of course captain america! Ratings: 8.5/10. Cause the guy is so cute!

People who are close to me know that i have a bad hair fall condition. Well, seems like its starting to affect my eye lashes too.!! NOOOOO!!
Lesson to learn: NEVER SPREAD THE ICE-CREAM ON PANCAKE! You're suppose to cut the pancake and grab a little ice cream and send them to your mouth as is!
Oh right! I have a dream, it was in a studio apartment setting where i live alone, at that time i would be a working lady. Hopefully i own one in the future. I always wanted a studio apartment. I thought it is SUPER COOL to own one. Then, someone rang the doorbell and I had doughnuts waiting for me.! Jam filled ones. HEHE. Glazed are fine. But Jam filled ones are the BOMB! :D This is my dream as of 9/8/2011. Just a self-reminder if i come across this post again.

Yours truly. :)) It has been a cold couple of days.

Okay, so this embarassing thing happened to me awhile ago. You know how some gfs tell each other: "GIRL, I LOVE YOU LONG TIME." Well, i come to find out that it is something prostitutes use. I should really not use that phrase anymore. Just say i love you, (name of fren). *just to be safe*

Comments reply: @ng wei jien: I am using froyo 2.3 now. :)

@Rebecca: Yes i put it on myself, but was just at home and was feeling.. "ai mei" haha. erm, san jie gave it to me, just wanted to try it out. It took so long to dry! Not dried even after 5 minutes, smudge it accidently after that and thought, aihh, nvm la. then shower d. HAHA

Last Week of Holidays before start of semester!

I am not sure if i posted this picture before, but all i want to say is... I have been feeling like this lately. Super tired all the time. -.- Its not like i don't get enough sleep, i DO get enough sleep, but i just get tired so quickly and feel like energy is constantly drained out of me. *wanna say FML but decided to say OLJ* :D Well, this morning when i wake up and walk outta my room, my legs turn jelly all of a sudden and wow, i crashed onto the wall, backwards. I think it could be the coffee yesterday, maybe my body has no tolerance of caffeine. I don't know for sure. Or maybe!! It is the lazy sickness again! i don't know!
I'll start with the life lesson of the week. :) (reminder to self as well!)

Basic manners 101: When someone agree to help you with something, finding time to fit you in, because you didn't tell them in the first place what was going on until the last minute, please, be considerate and not lengthen the time of which you need them to help you with. Like i said on twitter, YOU are not the only person on this earth and the world doesn't need to revolve around you. Everyone is equally important. So please, tell me if you have problems once you see it, i would love to help out.!

Adult relations 101: Healthy relationship is to be able to speak the truth in love. (M.Connor, Citylife, 2011) Some people have huge ego and just can't say the truth. Learn to be humble people! Like how Jesus was humbled and give all the Glory to God the Most High. "Let us talk it through."-Good. "Let's not talk about it for now until I am a little calm"-Good. "Let's not talk about it ever again."-Bad.

So you get it? Easy stuff eh? :D

Oh! Besides that, i learn a way to say something that doesn't sound pushy.

"I'll be here if you need someone."

Great isn't it! You didn't promote yourself as the only person to contact, but if the person you said it to needs someone, you will be there. USE IT! :D

So i finished another book and now am doing some Japanese self study. Hopefully that works out? Haha, it is not easy.. 0.0 Saltwater moons 5/10. Not a very nice read, except towards the end. Practice practice.

Good news: My sister gave birth to a healthy 3.15kg baby girl. Pictures below and on FB! :)Tall, double eye-lids, fair, big eyes, fine hair, shaped eyebrow, long fingers and toes, nicely shaped nails. So gonna grow into a beautiful young lady.

Over the week, someone doubt the sincerity of my compliment. But when i compliment you, 99% of the time I am being truthful! When i say good job or WOW! excellent! or o wow! that's cool! I really mean them all! But if i don't like what you're doing, you have to be careful. :P Cause depending on how much of a friend i think you are to me, i will tell you how i feel. If i don't say anything at all, it means i don't care what you do. :) So, remember this: it is only cause i care that I am telling you how i feel.!

Next, if you are too free and have nothing better to do, go to urbandictionary.com and look up for the meaning of "ceebs". Then LYAO. :P

When Esther see girlfriend puts hands in boyfriend's coat, Esther's stalker mode on! Granted, it IS a very cold morning. :)

The rest of the week, i pretty much just meet up with friends and.. meet up with friends. Pictures below.

~Peace of God transcends understanding~ *thx Dee*

I am sick.. :(

I have a sickness, its scientific name is paresseux maladie a.k.a, the lazy disease.
It not only causes fatalities(when exam is in less than a month and i can't get myself to study), it is also the main reason behind me self-diagnosing this disease.
Okay, honestly, i am so tired today. It is only 10:32pm. But i feel like i want to sleep already. -.- But since I haven't been updating much, I will post up MANY MANY PHOTOS THIS TIME. ;) Enjoy.

Of course, firstly, i know you miss me. :P

Sis's attempt to make har mee, and it was just absolutely YUM!! :)
Let me rant about Melbourne weather a little. One second you're so cold cause the wind kept blowing, and next second the sun is up, and you need to remove your extra layer of clothing. -.- And with no warning whatsoever, hail came. Think this is much? Look at the next picture.
This is much more.
As i have mentioned again and again, I am a tutor. There was a fun fair at the school at which i tutor, today was the day. If you can see the banner, that is the company i work for.
My 3 bosses who came up with the brilliant idea to earn kiasu asian's money. :P Ken, Chris, Andre.
Was watching after the sand art section. Cute little kids come to have fun. Each art piece cost them $4=RM12. LOL. In Malaysia, you could get them for.. RM2.50 each?
Esther, fairy floss and Rachel. My partner who works on the same day as I. :D Fairy floss was super sweet. -.- I think i have enough sugar for the month. Had also shweppes and 2 hot dogs for lunch. Big eater much!! Love the lighting in the picture though.
What's new, Esther? We do not wish to hear your mundane activities. HERE'S WHAT'S NEW!! I dyed my hair PINK. Of course, its a temp. Like it?
Last but not least, if you know me well, i love tattoos! Especially fake ones, you can have different ones every other week! :D SO i got myself one. Cool much? :P
There is actually another tattoo, but not showing it here. Ask me, i MIGHT show you. :P

Emo: There was a time when i enjoyed waiting, be it for transport, for people, for events, I enjoyed waiting. Just admiring things around me, taking things slowly, clearing my mind off everything. Now, I hate it but, i grew out of it. Can i grow back into it? I'd like very much to stay neutral at all times, hate these negative assumptions keep popping into my mind. (It is okay if none understands, this note is just for me.)

Till next time, xoxo.
