Happy Times!

January 31, 2007 at 11:01 am (genting, melbourne, outing, photos, shopping)

After all the hoo-hah, and me screaming about how I hate the internet, the server suddenly started working again and everything went on super fast :) :) Apparently someone up there decided to take pity on the uber stressed out girl with no visa, heh. I managed to complete my medical check-up, x-rays and all yesterday too, as well as slot in a quick dental appointment where I got my teeth scaled, polished, and a filling re-done. Phwoar, I feel so productive!

I also managed to slot in time to go shopping with S yesterday at OU. I think this is the first time a guy has out-shopped me in a day! I only ended up with a (very pretty, if I do say so myself, which I just did) tube top from Cats Whiskers, while he ended up with jeans, t-shirts, and two Polos (in really nice colours too, see, told you the purple would be cute :P ). Had dinner at Momotalo, which apparently is Mrina’s favourite restaurant (why haven’t we been there before together then, woman?! And no, the Sugimoto excuse doesn’t work!) before heading up to … alright, wait for it …

WE WENT UP TO GENTING! :D
Finally someone who can understand, relate, and give in to my random bursts of spontaneity! Passed Batu Caves along the way. So pretty – they had the Buddha statue, and all the lights and all the people .. all ready for Thaipusam tomorrow! :) One thing I’m gonna miss about Malaysia is the culture and the different holidays. Ahhhh. ANYWAY! After arriving at Genting, we realised that the car had no more petrol. Well, actually it did, but the fuel light thingy was already on, and all the petrol stations were closed :P But still, we made it all the way back from Genting to my house with the fuel light on, and the car didn’t die along the way, thank God.


Came back from Genting at about, what, 3ish? 4ish? My parents then woke me up at 7.30AM to go see an Australian migration agent in Amcorp Mall. I was so tired, I fell asleep on the sofa waiting for them to finish breakfast, and I would’ve slept in the car too except I was too sleepy to drive, so I had to keep one eye open to make sure my Mom didn’t end up stranding us in Ipoh or something. She did take the wrong turning when I was on the phone with my Dad, sigh.

If you’re wondering why I’m abbreviating names now (well, some names anyway) it’s because I’m sick and tired of people asking me about so-and-so, and all that jazz lah. Actually, I don’t know, I just feel like. And don’t you think initials are cooler anyway? Heh. Like Jin says, Mrina and Mellissa = Mr. Me!

Doo Doo Doo

January 30, 2007 at 9:58 am (books, melbourne, technology)

Right now I’m sitting at home, applying for my student visa online, hee hee. My COE just arrived today. It actually was done yesterday, but they spelled my name wrong! I’m not at work today because I’m not feeling too well. My stomach is still feeling funky :( I don’t know, I just get these random cramps and a general unsettling, bloaty feeling. No, I’m not pregnant. I want to get my medical check up done today, if possible. I took tomorrow off from work also because I have a dental appointment, and apparently Thursday is a holiday as well o_O Three days of not working, hooray! :P I started packing this morning. I filled up one suitcase in 15 minutes, and that’s not even a quarter of the clothes I’m bringing! I told my Mom I’d need a bigger suitcase, but did she listen to me? Hmph.

Ezra brought me dinner/supper from Williams last night :D

If you’re wondering why my Latest Read (on the left, you blind peeps!) has always been a celebrity biography lately, it’s because I’m reviewing them for work. So far I’ve read the biographies of Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Depp, David Beckham, Paris Hilton, and Tom Hanks. Most interesting one is a close tie between Marilyn and Johnny, while David wins the award for having the most drool-worthy photos! But definitely, if you consider yourself a Johnny Depp fan, run down to the book shop and get What’s Eating Johnny Depp? by Nigel Goodall now.

I’ve memorized IDP Subang’s phone number by now, good grief.

Edit: Meh, the visa questions are weird. They have the normal stuff about health conditions, then they have the normal standard “Have you ever had a criminal record” nonsense, blah blah blah, then they ask if I’ve ever had some sort of connections to illegal people movements, whether I’ve been against human rights, and so on. So weird.

3$@#$@%#$%#@(& !!!!!! SERVER ERROR?! I DIDN’T SAVE! Now I have to go back over and fill everything out again, except now the entire server is down so no one can do any applications. I hate technology. I hate the internet. ARGH!!! Here’s a note for you, kiddies, when getting your visa, please make sure you apply at least 2 months before leaving so you won’t have to deal with slow servers due to the massive rush of students trying to apply for their visa 2 weeks before their course starts. Thank you.

Curse you, damn internet Gods! *shakes fist*

Bigfoot

January 29, 2007 at 9:13 am (Maison, clubbing, outing, shopping, university)

Jun Wei and I were rotting at home on a boring Saturday afternoon, so we decided to go to Bangsar Village 2 because I wanted to show him the new love of my life. Had drinks at Starbucks, went shopping, didn’t buy anything (boo!), ended up buying something and doing it (so dodgy!) in Ching Yi’s house, hahaha. Ching seriously, the only reason I did it is because of you, okay?! It was quite funny to be lounging around and lazing in Ching’s room while she was scrapbooking and getting stressed out :P

I was going to go up to Genting with the guys after the BoyzIIMen concert on Saturday night, but Mrina managed to talk me out of it, and instead successfully managed to drag me with her to Maison :P Jin Eu and her picked me up, and we went to Jin’s house to chill and wait for his friends. Went to Maison only at about .. 11ish? Close to 12? Went to Hartamas after that for supper, came home and crashed at about 6ish. Meh. Woke up at 11 the next day because I had to go for the University of Melbourne pre-departure talk with my parents at Nikko Hotel.

I’m at work now, and I’m so, so, so sleepy :( I’m a bit worried about where the hell I’m going to stay in Melbourne, now that I don’t know if the Ormond thing is going to work out. Was talking to Sing Yee yesterday, and she said that College Square isn’t too bad, but that would mean I’d have to live alone :( So saddening. I’m leaving in less than 2 weeks now, holy shit.

Went shopping with my Mom at Lot 10 after the Uni of Melb talk. Bought these really adorable shiny red ballerina flats from Vincci, black suede ankle-length boots, and two pairs of Birkenstocks. Also bought yet another winter jacket from SEED, which brings my current total of white jackets to three now. I was trying almost every pair of Birkenstocks in the shop, but it is true, despite them being so uber comfy, they are also quite uber ugly :\ They make my feet look huge!

Can challenge Bigfoot! o_O

Samsung Gang

January 27, 2007 at 11:56 am (Laundry, outing, photos)

Met up with the David, Angel, and Seng Ming yesterday at Laundry :) Although the four of us were a bit emo, it was lots of fun. I’ve really missed these people! You spend six weekends with them, and you already feel like you’ve known them inside out. I miss our Sabah days so, so much! That was easily one of the best trips I’ve ever been on, despite my extra, super horrendous hangover the next day, and me KO-ing too early in the night, hahaha. After Laundry, Seng Ming, David, and I headed over to Murni SS2 for food and Ribena special!
There are so many songs I want to download, but my Ares won’t connect! To top that all off, I can’t seem to find my iPod cable, so I can’t transfer songs into my iPod. Bloody annoying.

KL is getting boring. Been everywhere. Done everything. Meh. I’ve got nothing else to say for now (wow!) so I’m just going to leave you with photos from last night. More photo posts coming up soon.

Embarassing Moments

January 26, 2007 at 7:29 pm (bimbo, nonsense)

I’m bored, so here we go.

Mellissa Lee’s Most Embarassing Moments

1. Falling into the drain outside the canteen @ SMKSH. I wasn’t looking at where I was going and I fluttered down (apparently those years of ballet training came in handy for once) into the drain, but like Mrina said, at least I fell gracefully.

2. Knocking my head on a hanging flower pot, also @ SMKSH. I was messaging someone on my phone and I didn’t see where I was going, so kaboom, I hit my head on those stupid clay pots. The pots were then changed to plastic pots, and I think now they’re gone.

3. Crossing that busy main road outside Breakers @ Hartamas and slipping, thus leading to me falling down right in the middle of the road, in front of so many cars! Jun Wei was having a massive “OMG MELL, YOU ALMOST DIED!” fit while I was too busy laughing.

4. Bursting into tears in the middle of Laundry (yes, yes, I DO know that it’s supposed to be a happy place!) but I couldn’t control it, okay? :(

5. Calling my Mom after our (Jun Wei and I) “we almost died” moment to ask her if we should’ve called the cops. She was like “What?! Are you serious?!” while Jun Wei and I were having this battle with our conscience in the taxi. Heh heh. But hey, Jun Wei, we really did almost die right?! Technically, that is.

6. On the same night as #5, singing High School Musical songs in the taxi with Jun Wei, while the taxi driver started looking at us funny.

7. When the stylist at A Cut Above asked Jun Wei if I was his girlfriend.

8. The day in KLCC with my aunty when we set off all the alarms in every store we walked to :\ There was something in her bag or mine that was setting off all the alarms (you know those sensor things at the door?) except we couldn’t figure out what it was, and no, we weren’t shoplifting either! :(

.. I just realised a lot of my embarassing moments have to do with Jun Wei. That has to be some sort of wacked up sign wei.

What Am I On?!

January 26, 2007 at 10:42 am (dreams, outing, shopping, weird stuff)

I’m suddenly in a damn cheerful mood :D Like happy, really happy, not just pretending to be happy. I’m feeling good. I’m at work now, but I have to go to KLCC and Midvalley to return stuff later, I’m just waiting for the shops to open now. I slept well last night, although I had a really painful dream. It was very painful, but at the same time, it felt right. It felt right like the planets are properly aligned and like that’s how things are supposed to be. But then right, in my dream, I had bigger boobs. Like really, almost can challenge Mrina :P So it wasn’t such a bad dream after all. Like I was telling Wy Keith, it might have been actually a good dream because of the big boobs. Hahahahahaha.

I went for dinner at Jake’s with Ryan last night, and then we went to Bangsar. Checked out the new Bangsar Village and can I just say, I’m in love! Why must it open right before I leave?! *whines* I was walking around going “OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THE SHOES!” when I walked pass Aldo, and then upon seeing a smaller shoe shop, I just turned to Ryan and said “… and they call themselves a shoe shop?!” I think I made about a gazillion bimbo comments last night, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t wanna have dinner with me anymore :P Had ice-cream at Baskin Robbins to top off the night, yummy yummy. Thanks for everything, Ryan, you really did cheer me up!

I’m in a very talkative mood, so expect a lot of blog entries from me today, heh heh.

I was talking to Wy Keith on MSN this morning, and I showed him this link. Freaky, much?! I wanna have toenails that make and release gem stones too! When I first read it, it gave me goosebumps, brr. Seriously, I don’t know how medical people are gonna explain a phenomenon like this! It’s so cool, so, so, so cool. Cooler than the discovery of the golden turtle. And the python that ate 11 dogs.

… as you can see, I have been reading all major newspapers this morning out of sheer boredom. Sigh.

My Mind’s Unweaving

January 25, 2007 at 7:08 pm (Ormond, emoness, lyrics, rambling, work)

Ezra, your stupid song is now stalking me. Whenever I get into the car now, confirm I hear it at least once. Your subtleties, they strangle me, I can’t explain myself at all. And all the wants, and all the needs, all I don’t want to need at all. Please make it go away because it’s so sad, and it makes me sad :( Another song that’s been haunting me lately is Sozzi – Letting Go but that’s because it’s track #3 on the CD in my car. So now I say the things I want to say, sometimes it’s better letting go this way, I’ll always know down in my soul, we really had so far to go, I’ve given all I had to give and now it’s time for me to live, and I won’t look back, and I won’t regret, though it hurts like hell, someday I will forget …

Speaking of, Ezra, we go for dinner tomorrow instead, can? Tonight I already have plans! :D And I’m sorry for sounding so blur when you called me, I was sleeping and it didn’t register when I saw the name Wern Loong on my display, hahaha. I got no credit to reply your SMS, so hopefully you see this, and hopefully I remember to call you :D I miss you lah, my big, cuddly, stupid biscuit.

So back to my tyre, I completely forgot I work at a publishing place thingy which, duh, has a car magazine under it too! HOORAY! Danny was nice enough to help me change to my spare tyre. Whee! We had the Seventeen staff photoshoot today for Girl Talk, so that was fun, goofing around with the flowers, heh heh. Nigel came to the office after that to help me load all the bags into my car (and his car) and he followed me to the workshop. Dropped my car off there, and we went for lunch at One Utama because I had to return clothes too. Seriously, returning and loaning = damn tiring. Imagine Nigel and I walking around OU, bogged down with paper bags. We had to put all the bags in a trolley and wheel it around everywhere we went!

I fell asleep in the car on the way to the workshop :\ As in seriously deep, deep slumber. Nigel would poke me awake every now and then to ask for directions, and I’d mumble them and then go back to sleep. I didn’t sleep well (actually, I hardly slept at all) last night, and I was just so .. tired. I wasn’t sleepy, I didn’t need sleep .. I just felt so drained. Emotionally drained. Mentally exhausted. Yeah.

I’m going out for dinner with Ryan in about an hour or so. Looking forward to it because we very rarely get a chance to meet, and seriously, come on, what other guy would come to my house in the middle of the night to bring me Haagan Dazs ice cream, and chit-chat the night away? :D HINT. HINT. HINT. HINT. HINT. *ahem* HINT. HINT. HINT. HINT. HINT.

.. yeah, I don’t do subtle well, do I? :P

Oh, by the way .. I still have no idea what to do about the Ormond thing. I have to submit an appeal letter, pretty much begging them to take me. A bit sad, right?! But what is there for me to dooo, I don’t wanna be homeless! I dunno lah, I hope the appeal letter gets through, gah.

Bad Day

January 25, 2007 at 9:47 am (Ormond, emoness, rambling)

I’m having the day from hell.

No, seriously.

It’s only 10AM and so far ..

1. For those of you who know, then you know lah what. I think that could possibly top the list.
2. I came to work today, parked, got out of the car, and noticed that my tire was completely flat. I have no idea how to change it, so I had to call Nigel to come save me. Later I have to somehow find a way to get the tire off and send it somewhere to be fixed. All this and my day is already busy enough.
3. Ormond called me just now to say that they’re full and that they can’t offer me a resident spot, so right now but they want to put me on their waitlist, or pass me on to my 2nd choice college. I asked IDP what to do, and they said to submit an appeal letter so that’s what I’m doing I guess. In a way I’m kind of relieved because I can share with Mrina IF she comes in July, but in the mean time, WHERE THE HELL AM I GONNA STAY?!

I’m officially hating my life right about now.

Come on Mr. Big Person Up There, what else are you gonna throw at me now?

Don’t Chase Me

January 24, 2007 at 8:07 pm (Grey's Anatomy, HMC, quotes, videos)

I’m watching my old Grey’s Anatomy episodes again, and I still really, really love this quote Callie said in season three.

“I’m out of my element here, I break bones for a living. I used to live in the basement! Most days, I wear last night’s eyeliner to work, I don’t give a crap what other people think about me because I’m a happily independent, successful woman and I like it that way! … Only when you say stuff like this … it just makes things too hard .. so please, don’t chase me anymore. Unless you’re ready to catch me.”

Callie, why you so smart?! :( I’m feeling you, woman!

Browsing through my old files, I found the HMC video. Ah, memories. I hate to admit it, but I do miss HMC every now and then. Whenever I go to HMC, it always feels a little bit more like home :) I miss my Student Council-ings too, I miss our random emo days in the Student Council Room, cartoon porn, emo days .. everything!

Think. Think.

January 23, 2007 at 8:21 pm (melbourne, work)

I’m dead tired.

I had two photoshoots today *yawn* One was the one where I had to bribe Mrina and Ching Yi to model for, and the other one was with celebrities like Xandria Ooi, Belinda C, Sharifah Amani, and the winner of that “Most Beautiful Women” reality show on 8TV awhile ago. Belinda C is really cute, very spunky. Sharifah Amani is very real, very down-to-earth. I really liked her :) Basically I was on my feet from 9am until 7pm (yes, I worked one extra hour today!) so I’m seriously. Very. Exhausted.

Is it wrong to be looking forward to moving to another continent just because you can finally get a chance to relax? o_O You would think people would find it more hectic, but to be honest, right now I’m welcoming the change with open arms!

I need to go out. When I’m alone and not working, I think. And I hate thinking. I firmly believe that you should just do and not waste time on thinking. I don’t like thinking. I don’t like a lot of things too, but I really don’t like thinking. Therefore, I shall make a vow to try my best to not think anymore. Well, not think think lah, more like overanalyze. People always say that I think too much anyway.

My suitcase is beside my bed, lying there empty. I told my Mom to buy me the baby pink Samsonite case but she bought me the black one instead! >:( I’m not very happy. I asked her why didn’t she buy the pink one, and she said because black would match my outfits more *….* Like come on, how many times will I be carrying this bag, and why would I care if it matched my outfit again?! I’m only going to be dragging it in an airport! :( :(

I cannot tahan, I need to get out.
