It's Just You & Me
Different places
Different times
Different spaces
Different dimes
Yet we stand under the same sky
I miss you

Chase
Come again and tell me
Where you want to go
What it means to me
To be with you alone
Close the door and
No one has to know
How we are
I could die for you
What it means to me
To be with you alone
Close the door and
No one has to know
How we are
I could die for you

Victoria, The Place To Be : Day One
Your long awaited entry is here! "That's not rain, it's liquid sunshine!" I will always remember what the bus driver said as he drove along the streets of Melbourne City. It was drizzling and he cracked that joke I thought was not only the heartwarming optimism that the people in but left a deep impression in me.
Hey, it's me in the bustling city of Melbourne. Too bad TYH isn't with us, or else it would be FUN x 100. But hey, having 3 girls traveling together isn't a bad idea after all! This trip made us understand each other better, and oh, what else..shopping? Ha you really don't wanna know.
The place we were lodging in was smacked right in the middle of the city. Accessible, safer and very convenient in terms of shopping, food and sightseeing. It's an apartment and only cost us 800AUD for the rest our 9-day stay in Melbourne.
Break of dawn
The Kitchen which reminded me of the person next door(He/She whips yummy Chinese Food! The aroma literally travels!)
Balcony! Check out the state library!
The humble living room. See that sofa? I slept throughout the entire stay.
I know many are particular, verdict: their toilets are SUPER clean.
We were greeted by the freezing ass cold winter here in Melbourne but we're all ready to fight it!
In order to blog proper entries, I have decided to blog according to categories, i.e. Food, Places of Interests, Shopping..if there's more to come, I'll add on.
Day 1 was nothing much really. Besides planning our day tours and catching up and stoning in Starbucks, enjoying a hot cup of Starbucks coffee which Samantha has craved for since I don't-know-when (Perth has no Starbucks, apparently), our day was nothing but shopping and eating and walking.
Happy with her dose of caffeine.
Bitching session, what we do best. :)
Aveline with heavy eyebags!
Super messy yet cool shopping arcade.
Runway model Aveline.
Waiting for me by the changing room.
Witchery, a shop Samme loves patronizing
Lunch was...horrible.
Samme & Ave thought so too.
We caught a glimpse of the famous Flinders Street Station!
Happy!
Advertisement? LovelyThe day ended early. 6P.M and most retail outlets are closed for the day which to much our dismay, shopping had to end too. But sightseeing went on, with Samantha and me prowling the streets at night with the already "dead" Aveline back home watching TV.
Vogue wants you!
F.Y.I only.Day Two will be up tomorrow! :) Just keep a watch out for more pictures and interesting stuff about Melbourne, the place to be.

Digression in Progression : Run
Whilst blogging about my Aussie trip, my friend told me something she predicted and all I can do now is to dedicate this song to her. I'll treat you to Ben and Jerry's the time we meet. Meanwhile be happy happy, with your DVDs.
If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time by R.Kelly
How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Ohh Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine
Ohh I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
turn back, the hands (the hands)
There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back, in your heart, (If I could turn back the hands)
And I love you
Whoa (If I could turn back)
That would be my will (If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands (If I could turn back the hands)
I'm going down, yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me, whoa (If I could turn back the hands)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall (If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you (If I could turn back)
Love you. Love you. Love you (If I could turn back the hands)

Achy
Creak! Crack? Croak.
That's probably what you'll hear when I walk pass you. Yes, I'm back from Perth and now practically doing my dirty laundry and trying to keep myself away from all the yummy food that awaits me at the nearby hawker centre. You don't know how desperate I am from all the sandwiches, and fried battered food I had in OZ that made me crave for local delights in Singapore! Like what I always tell Aveline and Samantha, I can eat a cow!
Cheers mate!
Anyway, as I know you guys are still patiently waiting my update of OZ, I have to apologize. As much as I want to update about OZ, I've got a gazillion photos yet to be recieved and much editing to be done so those might take time. I would most likely blog about OZ next week? :) Your wait is truly appreciated.
Meanwhile waiting, why not catch an awesome movie I've caught with Samantha called Mozart and the Whale, this awesome film starring Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell? A soul lifting, sweet and cute (of course, with Josh Hartnett in it), dramatic, romantic comedy inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance. By the way, we both love the entire film, so if you're wondering if it's worth watching, go figure.
Whee, now that I'm done with what I wanna say, I'm off to my beauty sleep. :)

Are You Feeling Me?
Hello hello!
Missing me, anyone? Yeong's reporting love from Perth and I just wanna tell you how much I miss eating seafood hor fun (long story; I'll elaborate later after I've returned from Australia)
Anyways, I've about 4 more days in Perth here and I know this might sound exaggerating but the whole trip is just amazing (although I really think the weather in Perth is cranky and Melbourne is just freezing ass cold) Shopping, food and sceneries...you can't ask for more!
I'll blog more when I return, with Melbourne's and Perth's best.
Watch out for this space!

Hit And Miss
Hi there! I'm blogging here, in bid goopdbye, for I'll be leaving Singapore for Australia!
Along the journey to the airport, I just realised I forgetten to bring tonnes of things. Like, my camera's battery charger...the thumbdrive Samantha asked me to bring along. OMG! :<
Gee, this is so not funny at all.
Meanwhile while I'm away, don't stop visiting my blog! Here's a promise that when I return, you'll get all you;d need to know about Australia (Melbourne and Perth)
Miss me or not, you make the choice.

BANG! I'm Dead.
I thought I was dead. Literally, dead.
Shot in the head and the shoulder blade by a kingpin. Attemptiing to protect my sister from the terrorizing people with rifles slung across their shoulders, shooting random innocent people around the neighborhood, not I'm not spared either.
The shootings came in abruptly from nowhere. It was so random, nobody expected something horrible like that would actually happened, let alone the two of us. We were eating when suddenly, out of nowhere came this gunshot sound. The target was a guy seating at the table next to mine, which he immediately collapsed, with blood oozing from his chest.
Everyone started screaming, whereas I panicked because I have no idea where to head for escape. So I grabbed my sister and we headed for the escalators, which was already too late. The terrorists combed the entire building...with people dead or injured. Women and children weren't spared either and fear was constantly building up you could feel my heart pumping in a hard, rhythmic pattern.
We went flat on the ground and started crawling, hoping nobody would notice us when someone with sharp eyesight caught us from a distance, we were called upon.
Ignoring them, we continued crawling when the kingpin was so furious, he took his subordinate's rifle and started shooting aimlessly when it actually shot me on my shoulder blade. It never felt so painful in my entire life but I still ignore them protecting my sister when another gunshot was released.
This time, I wasn't so lucky. I got shot at the head, and my life swiftly. The last thing I've heard was my sister crying...then it's over.
You know they say when one dies, they see light?
I saw THE light. This bright light that beckons me to go over, which I did and the next moment I was seated in a room with a lady who slammed a bowl of pig intestine noodles on the table and demanded me to finish it up.
I can't breathe. I was struggling and never felt so miserable in my life. I knew it's a dream but I can't seem to wake up. I keep on chanting continuously, "It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream.." Which I then forced myself up from my sofa.
Was it just really a dream? It was surreal however at the same time a part of me just wants to believe it. It was hell scary and I still have the jitters.

"Blog About Others At Your Peril..."
If you don't read it, there's one particular entry I've got to point out by star blogger Jamie Yeo, who pointed out something that many bloggers do without realizing it.
I realized that I'm one of those who tend to make such mistakes without even realizing the outcome.
So to whoever I have hurt, I seek your forgiveness as I blog only to what I think deems right but not thinking about how you feel about the issue.
Blogging, be it a job or a passion, could be the best thing that has ever happen to you. But blogging has it's own limitations. You can't be possibly blogging about something that might hurt or stain your country, friends or families with bad reputation or bitching about your job for not being the most idealistic one you seek. If you think it's personal, choose writing a diary or would you rather hurt people or yourself in the process?
I just can't picture blogging to ruin one's life by just a simple blog entry. To one, it might be worth the effort, but to me, it's just plain dumb, don't you think?

My 2 Cents: You Got Molested, Got Flamed And Get Upset?
You got molested, why do you even bother even blogging about it? In fact, which victim who got molested blogs about her ordeal?
Amy did. Amy got molested and she blogged about her ordeal, which raised eyes of many netizens who either flamed her or gave her the courage she needs. But seriously, then again, is this a cry for sympathy or just a call for attention for other females out there touring with a group of guys?
Here's my 2 cents.
As stated on the papers, people who "flamed" her mentioned that it's a come-on sign, which I thought could be partially true. What was she wearing that night? Why travel alone with just a guy? I think pointers like this matters a lot when it comes to staying in the room with another guy whom you thought you knew him since forever. Reservation mistake? Shouldn't she be complaining to the manager? Can't the guy sleep on the ground or sofa? Why didn't she file a police report in Korea instead coming back then file one? Questions like these just make you ponder twice, don't they?
Nice, isn't good enough. It's how much you are able to trust and rely a friend. Jim, obviously, isn't the so called Mr. Nice Guy? The saying "Trust no one but yourself." works well in this situation.
I don't see why there's any reason she shouldn't be flamed. She caused an uproar, and all of these happened for a reason: She shouldn't have blogged about the incident at all and let law and justice do the job.
Why court for more trouble when it can all be handled by the law?
Amy: I don't know what's going to happen here. You stay strong and treat this incident as a lesson.
Jim: Don't think you can get away scott free. Also, Apologize for Pete's sake.

Gluttony Was My Sin on 9th June
My sister and I were literally, gluttons on 9th of June and we'll remember that for the rest of our lives.

Whenever we've got nothing to do, my friends and I will be hanging out in town's Fish & Co. junking down their cheap SGD3 chucky flavoured fries in 3 different sauces, Lemon Butter, Tartar Sauce and Chili Sauce. It was enjoyable as we munch and chat over sweet little nothings.
Check out the good stuff! Dope! I tell you!
Hello sister, what's with that constipated face?
Look what I've spotted!
Grumpy? So what? I ate it up anyways.
And my sis continued stoning...because,
8.15pm - Crab Party (behind Serangoon Stadium along Yio Chu Kang Rd)
The restaurant is pretty accessible by car or any means of transport. One thing that pissed the hell off me was that the seatings are arranged in such a way: outdoors/ indoors; Because of my crazy ass huge family, we chose the outdoor seatings surprised to be having our dinner with flying bugs, and army of ants!!!
Sister and I were sooooo bloated, we ate as little as possible.
