Xiang's fascinator for Derby Day~
Finally got the photos from my cousin/niece/extended family coz the connection is too complicated... my great great grandfather is brothers of her great great great grandfather... i think that is how the relations go.

Rhian's B'day Dinner.

Open its 1st branch in Melbourne at St Kilda, taking over "My Restaurant Rules" Melbourne restaurant's site after Melbourne lost it to Perth. After having almost over 4 times of delivery of wagamama, I finally sat in the restaurant for Rhian's B'Day! Happy Birthday girl~ And the photos are below~

Fun~
Little events that happened at the races. Mostly involving Champagne... =p Even when our feet are painful from the shoes, they indulge themselves with champagne too~ hehehe... By the end of the day, while Rhian's head piece stayed in place... mine has changed position on my head endless time... should have made myself someclips like those i did for Rhian to secure it more to my head... =S
3 musketters?
Met up with Wai who was there coz her company - the commonwealth bank, had a marque n therefore she had free drinks and free entry! =S But its fine... Rhian, Chris n I will do just fine! ;P We then head to Transport!
@ Transport~
The three of us; me having a change of mind and decided to make my twirls stick to the end of the top hat instead of having it hanging; whisky & coke - just classic; and the late sunset of summer~

Escape 2 e Great Outdoors...
I want to run and travel... Go to the States... go to UK... travel in the busy cities of States and London... visit the castles in scotland and Ireland... Maybe even Europe... Try the cusines of France... and roam the streets of Rome... and row along in Venice and Netherlands...
Then when i'm happy, I would go to Cuba, Peru, Kenya, Zimbabwe to breathe in the culture...
I want to leave where I am... I want to leave me... and the reality that surrounds me... I want to escape to the great outdoors...

Sunny day trying to keep that sunny face.
Its a sunny saturday and i'm trying to keep that sunny face.
I'm a morning person in that sense...
I wake up and my whole day gets turn upside down.
I decided to indulge.
Check wagamama's delivery menu and realise that they do not deliver until 6pm.
Bugger.
Walked to Southside to get myself a huge portion of Linguini Marinara that could be kept as lunch or dinner tmr as well.
Sat and daze while waiting in the half empty cafe bar.
Stuffed myself with mouthfuls of delight that provided little comfort.
Did my laundry not wanting to waste the nice sunny breeze.
Uploaded country music sounding Jewel that provide little comfort yet again.
Checked the calendar and its been a month now.
Really? Really really...
I just want to be alone.
Companied by an ever carefree monster who only want to play.
His only worry is to get fed and to be played with.
But to reject him and then be given the look of a disappointed kid is unbearable.
I just want to feel safe from emotions.
I just want to be alone.
Enjoy a lifestyle and home that I want.
Not work around anyone.
I think I want to live alone.
Possibly declare asexual.
Keeping myself safe.
Its still a sunny day.
Flowers blooming in my room, in the living room.
Yet my temper id short with monster.
And I hate myself for that.
I hug him tightly but something he cant comprehen but just shaft his toys at me.
He finally gave in and went to nap...
Such a sweet boy yet I want to stay away as well.
Do not want to be too attached.

ON MY OWN... geeze my help only came at 12... and shop opens at 10... =| But it was good learning experience... i made a couple of csh register mistakes... but sorted it out later as it was nothing major... the sales still telly... so yeah i'm happy... but i've got tired feet now that are aching like hell! I reckon i'm thrown into this job at a good time to learn n be trained... the busy effect from the sale has taught me to handle stuff well for a retail shop front... The first 3 days I work with the manager name PRUE (love that name)... and on the 1st day we clock up to 1094... 2nd time i worked was 1216... and 3rd day was at flinders lane when we made over 3 grand! Apparently sales didnt hit that high for the last 6 months! WOo HOo... But my feet still hurts... heheheh...
Now i'm doing my security... hopefully finish it by the weekend and I can start on my DSS~ Woo Hoo... Cant wait to graduate! WOOOoo HOOooo!!!

Mum...
last night mum called me to let me know Gi is going to buy her dinner for her birthday and she in turn will treat Gi to the movies. Awww... Then she is going to vietnam to travel in Oct too... Nice... she should enjoy herself now~ =D She also told me that Gi ask her what she bought me for my birthday and told Gi what she got me. Since she did not give me anything anything for 18 or 21... she wanted to get me something for my 24th. I didnt want her to waste that money on me during those years actually but since a mother's love is so great... we went shopping for jewellery and I eventually settle for something simple and not too expensive. =D She then went on to mention that how time flies and a small insurance policy that she bought with the post or something like that is due for renewal~ And it was 5 yrs ago when she bought it from them as it did not require monthly/yearly payment and yet it still generate interest and if something happens to her, she is still covered... THEN it started...
She started telling me where her policies are kept... where is put small little memorable things... what she has got rid off so she wont have that many things for people to settle for her after she leaves... etc... i'm just in denial... I do not want to hear things like this... I do not want to feel like she is preparing for her old age and even death! so she is telling me all these things so i know where to find things when she is gone. I CANNOT handle it! NO i CANT! NOT NOW! Dear lord... pls...

2nd day @ Leghorne Rouge & 2nd present from Gi!!!
Yesterday was my 2nd day at work... AND I LOVE MY JOB! This sounds weird I know... How can a well educated girl be so excited over an easy beesy job like being a retail sales girl... well... that's me... i love the fashion industry and am just glad i fit into the culture, not judge upon and that someone is willing to take me in and train me! *beams* But as usual... its really tiring with the sales going on and rushes of crowd just flock in after one crowd leaves.
Today... I went to the post to pick up a parcel i missed from the "O o O Mr Postman" coming over... (if anyone doesnt know... its a carpenters song) And when i got it and open it... its from regina.. another birthday present! And she has already given me my Harry Potter book! This time! its a delicate pair of 18k white gold earrings! And they are gorgeous! Absolutely what I wanted! *beams beams*

1st day @ Leghorne Rouge
My 1st day at work was GREAT! I absolutely love the working culture there~
Every staff has a different type of quirky personality... so i dun have to worry bout not fitting in... And there is no sales target to meet, everyone is just there for the store and the customers~ and that is exactly what I believe in!!! Good customer service, the happy go lucky ambience~ NICE~ but there is a lot of things to do there... Since there is a staff meeting to go to... instead of knocking off at 5... I stay an extra hour. So I was really tired at the end of it all and top it off! I had to sit thru and concentrate on a 1 hour ++++ staff meeting... Geez am I tired... Btw I'm getting $18.69 before tax~ not too bad huh~ =D
Now I'm home drawing my structure chart diagram... which is another tediously long process... and then will head into my warm cosy donna... =D
PS: Did i mention that quick brown fox (qbf) owns leghorne too~ =D
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
And leghorne is from a Warner Bro cartoon apparently... ;)

Midnight Thrills~ Birthday Thrills~
This actually started at 9.30pm when i was on the phone with mum, and Ching Ee and Karen rang the intercom... They started singing happy birthday song while i hurrily tell them "i'm on the phone with my MUM!"... and all i heard was oopz... blah blah blah... next thing i know they came into the apartment put something down and left...
I was on the phone for another 15minutes with mum. Put down the phone. Went to the door and saw that they have left me a box of soya chicken on a bed of noodles with another round box filled with soup! Awww... i had my dinner of instant noodles already but still stuffed my face with half a box of noodles and chicken... ONLY thing is... and they did not warn me... that the soup is SO SALTY! Apparently we were all victims of that soup. Each of us took a soup spoon full and stuff it in our mouth and swallow it to realise it was a bad choice!
Time pass slowly... But I was sitting in front of my comp half reading my notes and companied by RHian in our usual little chats... she has been so sweet the whole night on MSN giving me 24 MSN cakes lighted with 3 candles each making me 72 yrs old... n then MSN flowers, MSN presents etc...
Anywayz, at 11.45 i decided to take my shower n wanted to head to bed... when i came out of the shower (which was almost 12am), there was a knock on my room door and as it open there was Ching Ee and Karen with a plate of 3 candles and "frosted" mooncake in its container, while mashi and monster rush into my room (the usual monster mashi chase). Monster had a gorgeous cream ribbon around the neck! And, apparently the candles distinguished and karen and ching ee hurrily light them up again... hehehe... And by the way, my birthday falls on mooncake festival this year I think. ;)
After i made my wish and blew out the candles. Karen said they purposely doll up monster and mashi has a present for me too! hahahah... by then mashi was already hiding under my table and i could not see her properly, so they called her out and out she came having a maroon ribbon tied around her body with a card on her!!!!! AND THE RIBBON WAS AT HER HIPS!!! That poor little thing! But it was a good laugh...
I went out to cut my mooncake while ching ee told me richard have a present for me too. Richard sneakily went into his room and took out a bunch of roses in dark vermilion red colour... They are so uniquely pretty! Which reminds me the purple tulips Alex gave me on Saturday are blooming beautifully. The pollen is a fresh lime green! and there are shade of blue at the bottom. I'm in love with them! And now... i'm in love with both bunches of flowers I'm getting for my birthday~ =D The classic unique coloured rose and the oh so elegant tulips~ What a combination... maybe i should put them together????? hhhmmm... nah... tulip is in the living room it can stay there... the roses are sitting in my room now so it will remain there...
Anywayz, each of us had a small slice of mooncake except for ching ee as she dun eat mooncakes, and of coz they dogs dun get to eat it. The card mashi was carrying is so adorable. It has two beagles on the cover and speaks "happy birthday from both of us". And i swear one suits ching ee and the other Karen! You gotta see it to agree!
After Ching Ee, Karen and Mashi left I started arranging my roses. I even gave my fishes and extra meal of the day coz its my birthday~ THEN, i took out my tray of tiramisu! HEHEHEHE... it was marvellous... I then took photos of the half eaten noodels with mooncake with the tiramisu, the roses, my fishes, a cover up sleeping monster and the tulips too. After that i took a fork and started gobbling down the tiramisu! I gobbled till i cant eat anymore and i wrap the rest up and put it back in the fridge~ There are still heaps for Richard to eat as he has been complaining he didnt get to eat much of it. The tiramisu has set well and the sponge is so juicy~ it was fantastic! Marvellous~ Wooooo... Yummy...
And that is what I call Midnight thrills~ The sun is shinning again~ =D
Happy Birthday to myself~
I was on the phone for another 15minutes with mum. Put down the phone. Went to the door and saw that they have left me a box of soya chicken on a bed of noodles with another round box filled with soup!

Self-centered post
I have a heartache i cant describe... U know, one of those sour feeling that your heart is sucking your chest in? Well that is how it feels to me... Maybe i have finally gave in to the differences and have it in my face all the time rather than looking for other positive treads or behaviour and keep hoping that something might change to relieve the whole situation. The tension becomes more. Therefore finally decided to stay with the decision i made.
I have my freedom of speech. I have my freedom of saying what I want in my own blog and not be judge. Coz probably half the things i yek about in here has not beed through my brains. And if its my journal, y cant i yek...
have i became so weary of everything around me, everything I'm meant to say and everything I'm suppose to say? That i have became weary of me? i still have to hold my head up, be confident to cope with the now demanding requirements of the corporate hiring regime... So that i can put a roof on top of my head and food in my mouth... So what is wrong with me trying to be a stronger person... Do i always have to show my weak, fragile and vulnerable side - so people can take advantage of, when they know I have that part of me?
I just want to be happy, feeling strong makes me happy, makes me feel like I can acomplish anything (with the help of God of course), makes me try to think positive... so is it so hard to understand that this is a huge and important part of me?

1st Retail Jobbie~
I found out that I got a retail job today~ Finally... my step into the industry~ And perhaps before I start my design course, I could work for Country Road logistics too! or even be their purchaser since I am trained in logistics~ *beamz* Maybe I am one step closer to my dream than I thought... As someone once said, the purpose of going to university is to equip you to be an entrepreneur...
Of coz, not everyone may agree with it, but it works for me... I like to think that way and in many ways I do relate to it. i've seen myself looking at my dad's companyin very different perspective and how my uncle's textile/retail industry can improve. But I cant voice out when i do not have such relevant experience. And I cannot convince my dad that I really want to be in that industry! He has his reasons and I dun blame him. But after so many years (since primary) the fact that my passion still stays, it makes a HUGE statement! Maybe I could just try to get into Country Road or Just Jeans or David Jones logistics department, its still exposure to the industry and i can learn the back-end operations on how to fully run a retail store~ What my contacts are, who are the networks, and what areas of business I need to focus on... Afterall, retailing is still business~ Designing or not, at the end of the day, everyone is still in business~
When i finish this degree at the end of this year... and make a few fascinators to sell creating a sort of portfolio, i hope I can negotiate with dad to loan me 10k and i will work to feed myself and put a roof over my head. *fingerscross* May God guide me and walk this path with me~
God bless ya all~

My dream cost at least 10K to start...
I was talking to an old friend of mine during my b'day dinner. We went to the same high school and she did a fashion design course. And we started to talk bout design school and i was telling her what I want to do. And she was such a dear and was so willingly advising me on which school is good for what... And finally concluded that I should try out Melbourne School of Fashion. They cater for part time studies and specific course of interest studies. So i came home and did a search on the web... AND... I have my eyes set on this course:
http://www.melbourneschooloffashion.com/international/cid.html
This link shows exactly what I wanted to do since I was a KID! And here's the preview~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This course is suited to those students wanting to obtain a competent professional standard in Pattern Making and Garment Construction, Fashion Design and Fashion Drawing. It enables students to gain a solid foundation on which to base their entry into the designing/manufacturing/illustration areas of the fashion industry. Students will obtain the skills necessary for the design and production of ranges and private order work and will be able to prepare a comprehensive design folio comprising fashion drawings, story boards and trade sketches as well as samples of the finished garments.
The course is industry based, teaching industrial methods used by clothing companies, fashion designers and fashion artists in Australia today. As part of the curriculum, the School arranges work experience in a fashion business for each student. Emphasis is placed on the development of individual skills by means of a varied and comprehensive teaching program. Class sizes are limited so each student can receive individual guidance on a one-to-one basis as required.
Students who wish to continue on to the more advanced areas of fashion business/production/design should consider furthering their studies by completing years two and three of the Advanced Diploma of Fashion Design, of which Certificate IV in Design constitutes the first year.

Venting my warp opinion...
Is it so wrong of me to feel that HE behaves "hooligan"ish after he have a few glasses to drink? So maybe he is not drunk... but his behaviour is bad... or maybe his behaviour is just bad IN MY POINT OF VIEW. Or maybe I just trigger all his bad behaviour lor... So I'm a freak that am not accepting of people's behaviour. Or I just cant accept how man behave lor... Therefore I'm quite happy calling myself an ASEXUAL.
I'm just venting my warp opinion. everyone can disagree with me... I'm unreasonable as usual and a party pooper, difficult etc... and like HE said... "dont talk to me la"... I wont... and I don't care... I've got too many assignments to do...

Handwriting TEsT!
I took a handwriting MCQ test... its so cool! But i cant totally copy and paste with the pictures in here... so just the analysis now~
******* The Analysis Starts Here *******
DanLin has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.
<---hhmmm...
DanLin is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
<--- hehhehe... yes i can get defensive... but i think i usually contain my sarcasim when they are people close to me... actually depends... i can be really sacastic to think bout it... oopz... sorry!
DanLin's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told DanLin that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. DanLin also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. DanLin is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. DanLin's self-concept is artificially low. DanLin will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for DanLin to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. DanLin is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.
<--- no comment but am getting there... at least i love living in my own skin nowadays~ =D
In reference to DanLin's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When DanLin slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. DanLin can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
<--- cool...
DanLin is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.
<--- woooo I'm secretive! nah... i'm quiet about my personal stuff coz i do not like to be judge...
DanLin is sensitive to criticism about her ideas and philosophies. She will sometimes worry what people will think if she tells them what she believes in. This doesn't mean she won't talk, or that she feels ashamed. It merely means she is sensitive to what others think, regarding her beliefs.
<--- hope so... I sound like a nice person here... or maybe there is a whole different explanation behind it all! Maybe I'm just sensitive to what other might say about my ideas! hahaha...
DanLin is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes. DanLin will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls DanLin an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other. When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. DanLin is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. DanLin is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.
<--- I'm an ambivert!!! WOW... so cool that term... ok i sound like damn durh... and Yeah... i sit on the fence and weight both sides... THAT IS WHY I AM SO DAMN INDECISIVE!!!!! I scare online sellers away with my questions & retailers think i'm pathetic shopper... 'what is so difficult bout paying and buying the item?' they may think... well i consider all aspects when i buy something manz! or any decision i need to make for that matter... *sulk*
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, DanLin doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
<--- hehehe... i would like to believe so...

It is really the migration criteria that needs to be worked on?
Was reading an article sent by Rhian bout PR issues on THe Age (newspaper)... and with both my cousin telling bout road show n recruitment the last two days prior to reading the article... I needed to blog... hahahaha...
The article in summary mentions that there are a whole lot of jobless IT graduates and migrants in aus and working as taxi drivers etc... And they are thinking of reassessing their skilled migration criteria... The industy needs experienced IT personnels and not just fresh grad with little experiences.
1st i would like to say.. if every company just want experience employees, that is great... people that are over 35 or 40 can still be in great demand.. which is good! There was a case where people stop employing mature people and want younger talents...
2nd... here we have a case of need of expertise... but if no company is willing to train these fresh grads and just employ experienced employees... these fresh grads will nv get the type of relevant experiences... and in the long run! You would create your own lack of expertise in your society!!! COZ greedy corporate cultures just want profit margin but dun spend a bit of $$$ to train talents in the 1st place... talents who can help increase their profit margin with the $$ they spend on these young talents...
3rd, if they are worried after they train these youngster, they might leave them for another better job... make them sign a bond to start off with...
4thly... does the government really think its the point criteria system or should they really look into their country's courporate culture! Maybe they should pass a law/legislation/policy/regulation whatever it is done to really solve the root of the problem...
In conclusion... companies should think bout putting aside a sum of $$$ for employees training... not just for new fresh grads... but existing employees... so instead of employing someone new and start the long learning curve, you could utilise internal resources and turn them into the expert u need...
Or maybe i'm just being an idealist...

Our Crazy semester 2 nights out~
Staggering out of bed at 6am by the noises of poor richie puking from bad mix of white and red + bad red wine. Have only slept at 2.30. Stagger back to bed till 1.30pm today. And then woke up stagger out of my room to find that richie has brought monster to work! Yay! Nice peaceful n quiet... ahh... relax...
Yes... 2 weeks after the 1st cousemate bonding night out at traders' bar... Rhian and I receive another email from Alex & Jonathan inviting us for drinks again... Rhian started checking out melbourne pubs and showed me a few... I particularly wanted to check out "The Trust" at the old Port Authority Building as I saw it on a magazine once... So nice and posh... And look so classic during the day... thou at night its a totally different ambience I found out. Rhian suggested it to everyone as Moo's sister is an architecture student and wants to see nice architecture buildings. So we went...
There was a wedding reception at the restaurant area and part of the place was close off. We took at least 5 two-seater couches and 2 personal couches to fit 12 of us. We were there at 8.45pm, the early ones... and soon everyone started to arrive. HOwever, Moo + sis did not come when the clock struck 10 and it was getting rather boring as there were not many people there and we all decided to head to "transport" @ federation square. Along the way, Ryan left (Chris other housemate) and at Transport, Yai left telling us he did not tell his GF he is going out!!! Dodgy! Hahaha... and Moo + sister (Meow) arrived... Don't ask me why... Quote from Yai - "THai people have nicknames of animals but never use Dog... i dunno why..." And by the way Moo in thai means "Pig" and Meow is like cat meow~
80's music! Wow... a night of fond memories of wooo wooo wooo girls just wanna have funnnn~~~ Ooo Ooo Ooo Oo an eternal flameeeeeeee~~~ you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round~ sweeeeeeetttttt child of minnnneeeee~~~ and summer of sixty nineeee~~~ And below is the photo at transport with richie taking the photo for us~ and below that is our very 1st night of gathering...

Pics explaination~
As in my previous blog... really long ago... when i move into my current place... april requested photos... n i only recently started playing ard with the software, here is the preview... Just testing the software and the photo view in blog.
The pic with 4 different photos: The 3 rainbow pics taken on the same rainy day... and the botanical garden view on a sort of sunny day...
The pic with 2 photos: taken same rainy day with quite a stunning effect... (i know the photo quality is crap)
the pictures on the right with a tall building are the views from my bedroom & the sea is on the right and can only be seen if u stand at the left of the window...
i dun have a digital so all u can rely on is a pathetic mobile camera... so i only have the restricted view of the shrine with rainbow & therefore i took a really crap photo of the botanical garden left of the shrine on a sunny day and put it in... to the left of the botanical garden, the MCG can be seen but its hard getting a picture for it from my small mobile camera, so i decided not to include it. By the way view of the shrine, botanical garden & MCG is seen from the living rm... & richard's room... in fact richard's room have my view as well as everything else... =D But i'm happy with my floor to ceiling window with restricted view. Thou my feet gets pretty cold during winter from sitting in front of it - my table face the window.
