elizabeth's rants

SOOO, the 12 days have flown by, and here I am back in the sunny island of Singaporeeee! Well, its not exactly that sunny though. Was really looking forward to come back for the bathing part! Really didnt like the bathing there cos its SOOOO cold!! And Ele’s room doesn’t have a heater (YET!), so not nice.

Anyhows, its been a fantastic 12 days there with Ele. Thank God for the wonderfullll weather why we were going to places like Phillip’s Island, the farm, Puffing Billy, and more! It was only while we were just walking randomly around the City that it poured and we brought out an umbrella! So it was good! I realize Aussies like to run in the rain. Hardly anyone was carrying an umbrella ‘cept for us-the chinese kiasu girls.

The 2 hour plus train ride that got us really high, snapping away a total of more than 500 odd photos! Mostly of ourselves. :p

My intimate moment with Mr Horse

Funky picture taken by Ele

All the photos are jumbled up  cos I’m too lazy to sort them day by day. Hee.

Our trip was made of – eating + shopping + walking + eating

Yummy burgerrrr!

Visited the Old Melbourne Gaol. Freaky place. Seriously.

One of many ‘artistic’ shots of Ele.

one half of the twins.

Intentionally exposed photo. Haha RIGHT.

At South Melbourne Beach

Well, the photos only show a fraction of our super enjoyable trip. And we both have a tendency to fall asleep while on transport -_- Keep missing all the nice scenery on the way?? HAHA but yea, this trip has been really great. Really thank God for this opportunity to spend time with Him and Ele! Whoo!

Alright, signing off!

I have safely arrived in Melbourne ytd. Yes, the city of H1N1 but I know I have the blood of Jesus covering me! What Ps Daniel Foo said during church retreat was a really an “answer” to my fears of this quite scary virus – “Pray for God to sanctify every single morsel of food ,every drop of water and nullify any form of viruses”! Whoo!

Ele and I visited theOld  Melbourne Gaol. It was freakkkyyy! It’s basically an old prison that closed down not too long ago. So we walked through rows and rows of prison cells which were really tiny! Like prison break! They even had a court yard of which we had our picnic sandwich there.

* I want to upload pictures but wordpress is being a meanie! *

Okay I shall stop here since it’ll be super wordy if I continue. So yes, I’m alive and kicking! The weather has been goody good. Friends, pls pray for ele and me for protection agst any danger! Love ya’ll!

Went out with the best friend today for a very relaxing day with her. Much needed catch up Did facial before meeting her and it hurt like crap this time.. I don’t know why. What happened to the relaxing facials!! Went down to Brow House at Wheelock to do eyebrow threading! First time.. It was really painful too! And Pris said ” just get the whole face over and done with in a day”. Haha so true.

Went down to FarEast to do my Pedicure and her Manicure. Thanks for the treat Pris! Came out really lovely. Envy Pris who has the nice dark skin and so can use all the girly pinky colours. My toe nails are a dark brown which I love as well. But a nice girly pinky colour would be nice some time too. Hee. Headed down (we had to run because we were late!! Out of breath climbing up escalators)  to Shaw after all that to catch Ghosts of Girlfriends’ past! Whoo! Love the show man. So many near-crying moments. So intense. I Like!

Great day, great company! Thanks Babe!

BUT now, I’m having this unsettling, “unpeaceful” feeling inside me, which is not the best feeling to have a day before an MOE interview. I feel so reluctant to go suddenly. I need to pray!

I think I’m feeling some sort of afraid? After last year’s interview in CHINESE. It’s like a phobia kinda thing. Like how I failed my driving the first time, and the next time I went for another test, I was sooo nervous, I failed again -_-

And I miss Jonathan Wong…

Anyhoos, went ice skating with some of the youths on Sunday. Awesomeeeee!

OH and saturday’s “Youth Service” was a BLASTTTTT! God is really goodddddd! Fantastic time of worship and ushering team was greattt! Although we have no idea where the leftover door gifts disappeared to. LOL!

Door Gifts

Worship time!

The crazy band. Unglam shots of charis will soon be on Facebook..

The loves

And finallyy, the one LOVE. Haha

Its gonna be a long holiday for the both of us. One in Perth, one in Melb. Like what Ele would say “wah, funfair ah”. Yea, very funfair.

oh FYI, we have a total of 4 carebears in the lovely Honda Fit now.Feel free to add on to the carebear collection. HAHAHAHA.

Lord, I’m gonna put tmr’s interview into your hands. If its your will, Please let it go smoothly such that they don’t give me chinese language specialisation again… Amen!

And Jonathan Wong, can you quickly come back?

Dinner on the 8th of June was at the Botanic Gardens. Casa Verde.

My eyes look abit weird here ‘cos of the fatigue! Zoo took up a whole lot of energy in the day.

Awesome pizzaaaaaaa and i cant rmb what soup. Heh but its really every cent!

Ivan the cutie pie acting cool! HAHA! His legs are so long now.

Proceeded down to Dempsey Road to my favourite place in the world – P.S cafe! (That is where Jon & I had our first date on a random afternoon. LOL)

Sinful cake number 1 (M’S CARROT CAKE)

Sinful cake number 2 (STICKY DATE CAKE)

King of sinful cakes!!! (ULTIMATE FUDGY BROWNIE)

Ele, you are missed! The table SHOULD be able to fit you. HAHA kidding. i’m coming over SOON! 我来也!!

It was a wonderfullll birthday

This has been one of the more “exciting” birthdays, with many consecutive days of going out with friends and eating ALOT of pasta.. i don’t know why.

Someone just complained that my blog has too few pictures and alot of words SO to please her, i shall put pictures but don’t complain OKAY. Zz. Hehe.

Shall start with my pre-birthday celebration. On Sunday, Jon da man took me out to Sentosa where we had dinner @ The Cliff (Click!). Its a superbly awesome, romantic, chill-out, enjoy-the-scenery, enjoy-the-company kinda place. Absolutely love it!! The whole ambience is very suited for couples who need a time to really really chill and enjoy the whole romantic + semi outdoor setting. It’s quiet but not to the extend that you have to whisper when you talk to each other ( or i wldnt have survived the night ), so its really a very comfortable setting to relax and rest your mind ( apart from the time u order your food cos all the words look very chim. Heh )

Wine glass with no wine and STILL water. heh.

Appetizer 1

(Appetizer 2 + 3 has no pictures cos we devoured the smoke salmon and some chef’s complimentary before we rmbed that we wanted to take photos.)

My “John Dory” + broccoli in tempura. Veg was awesome ( I should ask my Mum to try cooking it like that) and fish had quite a unique taste-like dory wrapped in sausage??

Jon da man and his “Char-grilled Tasmanian Lamb Rack” (super duper yummy)

The yellow giant thing is some crisp polenta  (cheese) which is uber shiok with the cedar mash potatoes. Needless to say, the lamb was the best. Tender, juicy and everything else lah.

And they gave me a birthday cakeeee So pretty horrrr!

*At this point, i feel tired from putting up all these pictures alr. HAHA but i shall continue…*

On the 8th of June itself, Jon and I brought the kiddos to the ZOO!! Yay yay yay! Havent been there in ages and was really really looking forward to the trip. The whole car trip there, the girls were entertained by the 3 car bears (now 4) in the car and singing to the songs of Superhero by Hillsongs Kids. Super cute!

i think this photo is very cute. .Hee

*At this point, the photos cant upload!!*

The boat ride that left us abit bored cos there was really nothing to see. Heh.

Anyhows, that was the day at the zoo Was really tiring, but really thank God for the wonderful weather! Was perfect.

Came home, Ivan was back home and the 3 of us crashed to sleep (aftn nap) before going for dinner at the Botanic Gardens.

Met Avonne the love for lunch at XinWang. Yummy yummy dessert of mango & strawberry “ice-kachang”!! Gah should have take a photo of it! Finally caught up ALOT *wink wink..hee* after she being away for SEVEN months. Glad you’re back dear

And then the best friend, Priscilla, called because she was stranded in Orchard! Hiak hiak hiak.. Anyhows, we somehow got on the same train at Dhoby Ghaut and the 3 of us headed back to my place.

So why was yesterday a happy day?

Because for ONCE in my life, I’ve got 2 of my bestest childhood friends at the same time. I mean, its either I go out withPris OR go out with Av..I guess because the 2 of them aren’t that close as I am to each of them. Hee, so yesterday was just really really perfect and it wasnt even planned!

Bliss

I guess the door has been closed?

The hair is srsly getting in the way now.. BLEAH.

So the question is if I should leave it long long long….

(ignoring the very glow-ish face and red and gold coloured REAL hair)

OR

trim it and leave it as how it is now…

(ignoring the face tht looks like the colour of the wall behind)

HOW HOW HOW??

Been sitting on the floor to study cos IBM has a million pages so they are all spread in a nice semi circle around where I sit.. Getting the neck ache now. Bleahs. One more to the final paper! WHEEEE~

Really cant wait for exams to be over. I know I’ve repeated it over a million times but I really really cant wait for it to be over cos its draining my brain. *yuck!*

Had a fantastic family dinner last Sunday at the Chinatown area. First time going to a hawker centre and having reserved seats for us cos my aunt called up the place and made orders beforehand. Their business must really be good.

More people commenting that Jon and Ivan boy looks alike. Hahaha i think i’m going to look like the outsider of the Eng family soon. Bleah.

Okay this is such a random post!

Bye bye.

Please don’t ask me why i’m blogging nearly everyday. I chanced upon this 1 yr old photo from our Uconnect blog. (realize this was the day before I flew off to Philippines!)

Its been a year

I miss Avonne and Rachel! Von, get your butt back in SG quickly!! Rachie, see you in Melb!!

I miss my long long…curly..hair!!!!

Lord, You’ve been good and Your love endures FOREVER!
