I am the blogger who thinks this list is not going to end if she continues to write and her grammar sucks.

This is usually what happen nearing the deadline of assignment!

So how do both of us look?

Saw this on someone’s blog and thought it’s pretty funny but true.

Strong Strong wind.
Was howling all night and I can’t sleep at all.
Yesterday night was much stronger but it had since ceased to 54km/hr.

A tiny clip that I captured thru my bedroom window. To view, right-click and “Save Target As..”
Play using realplayer.

Weekend’s never the same over here in Brisbane. Back in Singapore, we would have been out by now, properly hanging out with buddies in of the pubs. it’s only 8.33pm here and it’s so quiet. There’s a massive rugby match tonight and almost all the TV stations are showing matches around the whole of Australia, thus no tv for us tonight.

Alright, it’s not that we are really bored and has nothing to do. We have heaps of assignments and presentations to follow up but being the model procrastinator couple, we ended up fooling around and laughing at each other’s joke. We better start getting our bums down to some serious work!

On a separate and very random note, I was lazing around this afternoon when I start thinking about the similarities and differences between darlin and myself. Gosh! there’s so much differences and I can hardly find any similarities between us! I asked darlin and as usual, he hate being ask this kinda “boliao” question. haha..Anyway, here’s a list.

Similarities
We both,
loves Ice-cream.
Holds similar family values.
Like German Shepherd (well, I’m kinda influenced by him tho’)
Same Genre of music
loves making fun of each other.

Differences
He hates shopping, I loves it!
He loves his chicken and pork(and never eat fish), I love fishes and seafood.
He likes spicy stuff, I love sour stuff.
He loves watching TV, I prefer reading.
He loves sweet chocolate, I only like eating dark ones.
He like cabonated drinks but I often sticks to my green tea.
He loves fried stuff while I keep close to steam and grilled stuff.
He loves his laksa while I steer clear of it.
He has a quick temper(better now tho’s) while I usually takes thing easy.
He likes to sit down quietly after a day while I prefer to talk my night away.
He is very careful with anything while I’m careful is everything.
He can survive on eating tibits but I’ll probably get sick the next day.
He’s more critical of people while I choose to trust everyone.
…..

and alot more I guess. It will take me ages to list them all down.

Hmm..How funny is that we can compromise and stand each for nearly 5.5 years!

I guess that’s what love is all about!

How about you, my friends?

ANGRY!
Bought my ipod mini and now comes ipod nano! What the!

Alright..I shan’t fret. It’s the choice I made! :

BUT still! I am angry! Erks! No wonder darlin calls me an implusive buyer!

And I’m too angry to post any pics of ipod nano or even link it here! Argh!

I bought myself a toy! Finally managed to get my ipod from ebay. A new one and it’s selling for almost 15 AUD cheaper than in the shops. Ok ok, I know, ipod mini had been in the market for very long but who cares? As long as I like it, I guess it’s alright! People still buy vintage cars nowadays, don’t they.

Darlin had been extremely kind in offering to pay half of the price for me without assuming any ownership to the new baby. I know it’s really tough for darlin to come up with the money now that both of us are studying and not working. He must had save that money from wherever he could. The best way that I could show my appreciation is to accept his offer gratefully. Thanks so much for everything darlin! HUGZ!

Meanwhile,

And who’s willing to sponsor these? I’m sure my new baby will love his new friends! haaa

The smart cars are so compact that you can stack them one on top of another!

I know for obvious reason, you won’t be able to see the picture and the color very well. I took this when darlin was at the roundabout and there were cars behind us. Darlin made another round but I still could not take a very clear shot of the cars. There are 6 cars in different colors, all stacked on top of another.

Looking at the compact size of the Smart car, I reckon it will be wasy to park. Be it parallel or reverse!

Aren’t they colorful and cute? I wanted one for myself tho’ darlin thought that smart car (2 seater, 700 cc and no boot) is a complete waste of money!

Enough Said! I love him!

RISKS

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who risks is free.
