Lindsay Price on Lipstick Jungle

Anyone who loves Sex and The City must know the battle between Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle. Personally I love Lipstick more because the three girls seems to have more connection - the way bestfriends have to be. Whereas Cashmere is more about powerful females life without a real connection about the friendships between them. I still enjoy watching it for the sake of the fashion and the wardrobe that Lucy Liu wears =P

Anyway, I've been wondering, does Lindsay Price (Victoria) had a nose job? She is pretty though. And she sings!


I was drown to the lyrics from the last scene on the 7th episodes: "Could you ever really love someone like me?" and so I googled it. To my surprise, the singer was Lindsay Price - THE actress.

The full lyrics isn't that fabs, but its good enough to hear. I am still searching for the songs. Anyone know where I could download it?

Someone like me

Im looking at all the time thats gone.
It seems that i cant say
Of all the things that i have done wrong
I wish that i could change.
I hear you say it doesnt really matter.
Hold on to me and in the end youll see.

Chorus

When all your days go wrong
Its allright
Ill never stop trying.
When all your tears have gone
Could you ever really love someone like me?

Verse 2

It wears me out to see what i have done
And try to make it right.
Tears me up all the little things
That i can never bring to you.
Its true you see it always really matters.
Hold on well try and in the end youll see.

Chorus

When all your days go wrong
Its allright
Ill never stop trying.
When all your tears have gone
Could you ever really love someone like me?

Break

And when i say that i dont give a damn,
That you were never there,
That i,
I never tried,
All the times that i cried
I never really cared for you.
Not true.

Chorus

When all your days go wrong
Its allright
Ill never stop trying.
When all your tears have gone
Could you ever really love someone like me?
Never really love someone?
Ever really love someone . . .

Shrine of Remembrance

During the extra long weekend of Easter me and my bffs went to the CBD and became a tourist for the day. We went to The Shrine of Remembrance at St. Kilda Road. It is a monument in favour to the people who lost their lives during the battle. The script written in the monument says:

" This monument was erected by a grateful people to the honoured memory of the men and women of Victoria who served the empire in the great war of 1914 - 1918"

The monument is breathtakingly fabulous from afar. Inside there are some memorial pictures and story about the war. It was a little bit spooky and we didn't go far inside (Imagine dark-dimmed light, high pillars, cold breeze, and stairs which lead to i-don't-know-where).

Not far from the monument is the Botanical Garden. It is enormous garden. We only managed to walk to the green house, which is sadly closed by the time we get there. My friend held the rest of the photos, so mean time this is all I have :P (will update later).


On the way back I snapped the pictures of the famous Fliders Street Station; the old station which is probably the landmark of Melbourne.

Boo-yeah, I love my city ;)

It is always comforting to know, when I have nothing, I will always have the city.

Chinese New Year VS St Kilda festival

Gong xi Gong xi.. Happy Chinese New Year all!
Welcome to the year of the Rats =)

No special celebration this year and no angpao since I'm still stuck in Melbourne waiting for my TR (Temporary Residence) without my loved ones. Anyway here are some of the photos I took around the CBD/chinatown. From what I saw, there are lots of lion dance (barongsai) in every corner of CBD with only two dragons (which I think looks more like a worm than dragon, coz it was long but so thin) -_-" Sadly I couldn't get a snap due to people's head and my tiny (read: not tall enough) figures.

The lion dance

Little chinese drummer boys and girls

On the other side of the town there was another celebration. St Kilda Festival.
Nothing much to be said, just typical street festival; bunch of Aussies with so-called-cultural bands, dance, and food stalls. Eeek... no beer allowed

Hell yeah babe, it's alcohol free. Wondering why I still saw people 'drunk slash high' on the grass floor

Chips, hot dogs, and donuts. 'nuf said!

Strawberry + marshmallow on a stick dipped in chocolate. yummm. Orgasm? not really

..when the bright future is for you to create

"To often, the thing you want the most is the one thing you can't have

But as tough as wanting something can be

(Greys Anatomy S3-E21)

This is the start of year 2008. Have you decide what to do with your life yet? For me, silly to say that I am still not sure. All I want is to get a job, either part time or full time. Even better if I can get my dream job as an engineer/scientist.

Finger crossed and wish me luck.

Victorian Beaches: St. Kilda, Geelong, and Wilson Prom.

The sun has been shining around 38 - 41 degrees hot this last few days on the edge of 2007. So what else to do other than pampering yourself at Victoria famous beaches.

First is the famous St. Kilda beach loacted only few kilometers away from the Melbourne CBD. Loaded with people getting tan around the beach and cafes full of yummy greek cakes.
(Forgot to take photos of the cafes. Doc'h!)

The second one is Geelong - the second biggest city in Victoria, located at 75 kilometers south-west of Melbourne. Geelong is known as a port city, which is a south-western inlet bay of Port Phillip.

The third one, which is the best of all is Wilson Promontory. It is located at the southernmost part of the Australian mainland. White-sand beaches. Naturally reserved. Beautiful river. A good place to fish, bush walking, or even stay the night on caravan or camping. What else can you ask more?

Squeaky beach - the sand makes a squeaky sound when people walk. Literally squeak-squeak =D

White sandy beach

For those of you who wanted a little getaway from the city, these are the three places you must go for summer. Don't forget to put on your sunblock, becoz the sunlight can burn your skin off (not really).

Anyway, I had a nice summer holiday. Envy me?

All I want for Christmas is...

Cocktail Dress!!!!!!

Summer is here. There is no White Christmas. So I can wear a simple short dresses to Christmas party. Wohooo! So write it down on my wish list... Dress dress and dress.

A Farewell

A farewell party was held a day before International student graduation ceremony on 13-12-07. We, chemical engineering girls graduate met on Pancake Parlour, Chadstone to say goodbye to the internationals who will fly back to their home country next week. We sure will miss you all. Wondering when will we meet again. It was a great 4 years knowing you girls - thru the ups and down, assignments, and exams (not forgetting the parties).

You are now officially an engineers.. Hip-hip-huraa!!!

While I'm still waiting for my ceremony (hopefully) with the locals in May next year ^_^

Delicious Day Out

Went to strawberry and cherry farm the other day. It was awesome! For paying only AU$8.00 can get access to the farm and pick half a kilo of strawberry. As for cherry, the price is AU$5.00 and AU$8/kg cherries picked.

The strawberries are sweet as sugar. Although the bigger ones are not allowed to be picked =( However I'm happy. It probably the sweetest strawberry I've ever tried. Definitely a place to go to :)

where? Located at Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AU.
Have to use private transportation since it is not reachable by public transport. However there are lots of day tour packages available from the Melbourne city. The journey is approximately 2 hours from the CBD.

P.S. Strawberry season is from November - April, while Cherries are available from December to January only. More information is available here

Silent night

My housemates have gone for work and will be back in 3 days.
My mom who usually calls, today didn't.
My chatterbox girl-friend who usually very chatty, today didn't.
My boy-friend who usually bugs me, today didn't.

So today I filled my day with VOGUE, some few cherries, and lots of Project Runway.

Suddenly miss my high school girlfriends 

"The Capsa Queens".

 Wondering the time when the four of us will meet up again.

Their locations at the end of year 2007 are:

Yulichia : Vancouver, Canada

Felicia a.k.a Amoy : Jakarta, INA

Dewi : Perth, AU

Myself : Melbourne, AU

Hopefully at the end of year 2008 we could celebrate New Year's Eve together, as we planned.

Design Celebration

I did it!

The final thing to do with the Design Project. Final poster and Presentation. Lucky for my group Adam did all that. All I have to do is just stand there, and do nothing.. ha-ha!

Yesterday was the last time we, chem-engers together. So I asked them to write on my doggy doll. Like what people usually did in highschool - except I didn't get to do that. Wonder why... graduation in my highschool was so plain boring-- eekkk...

so here's the photos of the doll before and after HAZOPed!!!

Without forgetting to showing off my team 'lovely-pastel-coloured' poster =)

AARrghhhHHhhH

I am so damn tired of this!

It's not like I didn't study at all! It's the freakin fuckin questions that is so fuckin tough! I'm sure I'm not the only one who fucked up that exam. What is wrong with that bald, ugly-faced, meanie lecturer????? "Do the tutorial questions and you'll be fine guys"-yeah right I'm NOT FINE. Why can't he be nice for ONCE!!!!! This is fuckin last semester. And the subject he teach is freakin ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING. NOT fucking design!!!!!!!!!!! It supposed to be theory with the little tiny bits of simple calculation. Why the HELL did he gave fucking design question?????? Since when does environmental engineering equals to fucking design????????

Fuck this!

I just want to pass engineering. Why you make it seems impossible?? Freakin MEAN lecturer!

Fuck fuck fuck!

Golden Gaytime

Ice cream named "Golden Gaytime".

It even come in a meal along with pizza.

One way to market a product: add GAY-word on it

(what is that supposed to mean?)

A fight inside me

Why can't we choose whom to love?
My heart doesn’t obey my brain
Silly, that it is confusing
Silly, that it hurts

Hoping the brain win the battle
or
they resolve it in a peaceful way

~Lets wait~

Spice Girls – Now Return

I really should be studying Biochem for tomorrow exam instead of this *sigh*

Bored of the lecture notes, I decided to review the Spice Girls new album titled Now Return.

What I heard was that this is going to be their last album (Seriously last this time!) and also to say goodbye to their fans.
I must say that I am a bit disappointed to this new release. I'm expected not just good, but great songs like their old ones: Wannabe, 2 become 1, Mama, etc. What I get from this album is lame lame and lame. In some songs they are even sounds like they are drunk. Listen to track 5: Space Invaders. What song is that?! They were talking or having girls talk which totally NOT important. Even the Christmas songs are ridiculously bad. The only songs I actually like are track 9: Step To Me and track 8: Aint No Stopping Us Now. And that is because they sing it in duet!

Geez girls, sure you can do better that that.

Secrets

Secrets? I have a lot? Really?? I don't even realize them… at least not until this convo yesterday night with a best friend.

MeL: Ugh, I really2 want to go back to the start of the semester

Wixwax: for what?

MeL: Lots of things I wanna do over.. Including my holly thesis.. =P

Wixwax: Really? what else? Seems interesting…

MeL: too many to be mention here. Too complicated as well. Hahahaha

MeL: this year is such a roller-coaster for me

Wixwax: Really? Up and down?

MeL: yup. Not just thesis tho.. lots of things

Wixwax: such as?

MeL: secret!

Wixwax: u seems to have lots of secret lately

MeL: really? When??? About what?

Wixwax: umm…

Wixwax: the one I asked u bout ur personal msg. about.. why did u jump??

MeL: why the hell did I jump? Hahahahahaa.

MeL: oh btw.. now I know the answer, and I would jump again if I can turn back time.

MeL: hahahaha… Not explaining ya :P

Wixwax: haha

Wixwax: if u wanna keep that as a secret that's fine. I won't ask further more…

MeL: haha. Thx babe ;)

Well, I guess I have a thing or two I wanna do over this year. Not really a secret, but a bit embarrassing to tell. Another "if only" for me…

Bla bla

Looking at my friend's blog, I realized how plain boring my blog is.

Guess I'm not such a writer after all

*sigh*

Hectic Design Project

It has been a while since my last posting. What happened in last couple of months was the freakin' Design Project! Yes, it is the project that I must complete in order to get the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree. The topic was about Offshore LNG Production. I have to write 12 chapters plus the essential drawings (PFD, P&ID, and General Arrangement Drawing). It was really hectic. Imagine this, 120 pages of report + appendices and drawings, three interviews, and four other subjects all packed in 13 weeks! That was the first time I stayed in uni until 1 o'clock in the morning. Don't even ask me what it was like in the 13^th week. Computer lab is my new home. Or, should I say "our" new home. The up-side of doing this project is that it brings all chemical engineering students close to each other. Usually the Aussies and international students rarely, or never talk to each other. The project was done in a group of 5 and we were pushed to stay in uni everyday from 9 am to 12 am. From stranger to classmate, and classmate to friends.

I remember in the first week we were all so cranky. We thought 20 hours per week of design project is crazy and we will not be able to finish it in time. Who would have thought that everything is possible? Yes, we made it in time. Friday, October 19, everyone rushed to print off their report. Get them bind and stick the A3 drawings to the appendices. We forgot lunch. We run here and there. We helped each other. It was hectic. It was fun. After that, I saw smiling faces saying "WE DID IT!". It really like we graduated.

After that was party time. We went to dinner and then club. All the hard work; all the energy drink that we drank twice a day; all the group tension; in the end it was worth it. What left now are the final presentation, group photos, and best wishes for the future. Chem-eng-ers, I'm proud of you J
