One more day to Singapore!

[ Monday, February 6, 2012 ]


Leaving for Singapore at 12.20 AM tomorrow, which means that I'll be at the airport around 10 PM. As you're reading this, I've probably left the house already (did a scheduled post). Don't worry, I will definitely try to blog everyday while in Singapore, so you'll be able to keep up with my updates. Hopefully, I'll find the time to do it as often as I can - do stay tuned. Really hope I won't forget to include the essentials!

See ALL of you soon! Will keep you updated.

Luggage!

[ Sunday, February 5, 2012 ]




As you can tell from the image above, I've been packing for my trip to Singapore. It's almost done, just waiting for the next batch of clothes (which is currently hanging in the laundry area) to be placed into the luggage. I can't wait for Singapore - it's only 2 days away. Oh my, how exciting is it? It's just around the corner. Looking forward to seeing my relatives and friends again, and having a good time with them.

Trust issues develop from 'being cheated'?

[ Saturday, February 4, 2012 ]


Honestly, I feel bad. There are flaws in my personality - which affects the relationship that I have with my boyfriend. I'm too jealous, sensitive and a tad controlling (in the sense that I don't let him play League of Legends when I'm around). It's not that I fully restrict him from playing games. It's fine, as long as he's not being too overboard with the hours that he plays it. However, it seems as though he's restricted from 100% freedom and I have to do something to change this bad habit.

Talked to my god-cousin today about this issue - and told him that I have this problem. He gave me useful advice. He informed me that if I didn't do anything to change it, it might be too late and I'll eventually end up shooing him off from my life. Apparently, if my boyfriend hasn't done anything to allow any trust issues to develop, I should just give him 100% trust because it has been well-earned. I just realised that in this case, it's not good to consider my past experiences to deal with this problem.

If you don't know what I mean, well, I've been cheated on twice by two of my ex-boyfriends.

Have you ever been cheated on?

Mahjong Session.

[ Friday, February 3, 2012 ]


I really should be sleeping, as it's already 4:55 AM. But my boyfriend invited some friends (that he met at a snooker place aka Pot Black) over for a Mahjong session. They are betting with large sums of money, which means that I can't join in the game. First up, because I'm not even an expert or skilled in playing Mahjong. Secondly, because I don't have money to invest in the game. And lastly, because I don't like taking risks - which explains why I don't ever gamble at the Casino. *sad face*

While they were playing Mahjong, I had absolutely nothing to do. I went on a particular website (Viwawa) to play Mahjong with real life players online. Met two Singaporeans there, who were in the same situation as me. They were playing Mahjong online because their friends left them out in the real life Mahjong game (due to lack of 'seats') too. I'm glad that I'm not the only one. Unfortunately, I didn't get to play with them for long, as my boyfriend's internet kept getting disconnected. Would have been nice making friends with them, since I've been going on Viwawa pretty frequently this past few days.

If anyone has a Viwawa account, feel free to add me: Exuvalia.

Passed my course.

[ Thursday, February 2, 2012 ]


I officially passed my Curtin College - Diploma of Commerce course with average marks. Definitely not as good as I was hoping to do, though. Oh well, I'll be seeing all you Curtin University students next year (those who will still be there). On the other hand, my boyfriend wasn't as lucky as I am, and therefore will be studying an extra trimester there. You know, I believe that things like that happen for a reason but I wish the outcome wouldn't be as such.

Unfortunately, I had trouble enrolling into Curtin's portal (Oasis) because of an error message. Had to go into the University's student services to get that sorted out, which was heaps of trouble. I'm not sure whether everything is 100% completed, but I'll trust their words. This month, in February 2012, I'll be entering into Curtin University and going on a trip to Singapore for 3 weeks or so. Absolutely can't wait!

Dogs > Cats

[ Wednesday, February 1, 2012 ]


Although I've always been fond of animals, I'm very scared of them (licking, jumping, scratching, biting). Recently, Ken (my boyfriend)'s friends bought 3 kittens amongst themselves and I've been carrying them around and stroking them with absolutely no problem. Of course, there are rare times where I end up running away from them or yelling at them to go away from me. But it's mostly me interacting with those three kittens: Blackie, Dusty and Noddy.



Blackie was sent to my friend's house for a temporary home while the owner went on holiday in Hong Kong. Dusty and Noddy was under my boyfriend's care and we have been transferring them from one home to another (due to certain circumstances). Today, while carrying Noddy to the car, he scratched me on my finger - and it was super darn painful. He refused to cooperate with us and ended up running from one part of the house to another which resulted in us yelling madly at him. Imagine, "Noddy! Come out now, what the hell?" and "Noddy! Okay, no food tonight!"

Of course we were joking about not giving him food. It was just to threaten him to come out so that we could bring him to the car. Sigh, you have no idea how long we took to put two kittens in the car and how much energy we wasted on them. I swear, dogs are so much better than cats. Sigh!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Do you prefer dogs or cats? Why?

Worried Sick.

[ Tuesday, January 31, 2012 ]


Imagine the look on my face when he wasn't there. Okay, so let's backtrack the story a little bit. It was 5:55 AM when I woke up to go to the toilet (and my boyfriend was nowhere to be seen). After 5 minutes or so, I walked back to my bedroom, realising that my boyfriend still hadn't returned to the room. Where did he go at 6:00 AM in the morning? I walked down the stairs, opened the door and saw his car still lying there in the garage. He must still be in the house, but where? Walking back to the bedroom, I decided to call him up on his mobile to check up on his whereabouts.

Me: Where are you?
Him: I'm at McDonalds, do you want anything to eat?
Me: No. Why did you go there?
Him I don't know why, but I couldn't sleep.

Right, so he went to McDonalds to buy breakfast because he couldn't sleep. His car was still lying in the garage because he drove MY car there instead - without my permission (which I don't really mind, but he could have notified me). So now, I'm sitting here dead worried, waiting for his return. Somehow, I just can't go back to sleep, no matter how hard I'm trying. Le sigh.

Update: He apologised for not telling me where he went, and ended up getting a headache and fever.
