hohoho! i havent been blogging since dont know when. Christmas has kept me pretty busy and i must say that this year's christmas was one of the best! there were 3 christmas parties and my last christmas party was spent on a farm!! I spent my december 25th on my uncle's farm, plucking chilli padis, harvesting sweet potato leaves and offered myself as a sacrifice for the damned mosquitoes there. OMG, i bet it was like a christmas feast for those six-legged anthropodas.
i also attempted to bond with all the 10 dogs there, particularly this super stubborn dog that just wont succumb to any of our cooings. by the time we were about to leave, i could only managed to touch him lightly without him trying to bite my precious phalanges off. ohwells, mission somewhat accomplished.
Oh and i met up with trish twice in a week =D with my dearest ally too!! HAHAHA we had lots of fun, erm... at the expense of ally's sanity. I AM SORRY LIJIN, once again i have failed as an ally! =X watched australia with trish and her sister yesterday. I had to watch it with someone who did ELACS before and NOPE, it wasnt a good movie. not at all.
1. the main point of "the stolen generation" was not resonated as much as they should. I felt that it ended too much like a fairytale, which is completely untrue. Just how many half-caste kids from the stolen generations would end up like that little guy from Australia? Hardly. Many of them grew up in rough living conditions although there may be some (however few) that i must admit, actually led a good life in the hands of the angmohs.
2. the movie was way too long, it was even long enough for two hero-save-the-day scenes. firstly, hugh jackman saved the day by herding the cattles onto the ship. Secondly, he rescued the half-caste kids during the bombing of Darwin. its like, "wooohooo macho hugh jackman saved the day!!" and "oh. he saved the day again -.O " too much heroic stuff! this seems like 2 episodes of PPG.
3. the characters were too stereotyped. Just look at nicole kidman. At first the way she fussed over the kangaroos was cute. Then, it got annoying -.- until the point she broke out of her prissiness during the rougher days. That was when she acted more like a normal human.
All in all, it wasnt really up to my expectations. If not for the fact that HUGH JACKMAN IS DAMN HOT, i wouldnt have liked the movie much. and yessssss omg, he's abs and chest muscles!!!!!!!! and and he's shagginess!!!! *faints*
Anyway, tomorrow shall mark the end of my wisdom tooth sufferings~ i am going for a mini surgery to remove it. As much as i have been trying to act gungho about that, I AM REALLY VERY SCARED! T.T one week of rotting at home =(((((((( SIANNNNNNNNN
ohyah, some overdue pictures from holiday to KL and Taman Negara
7hrs train ride to KL. it was not bad at all!! completely out of what i imagined it to be. it was even better than the plane. the space, seat and the butter cake they served us just coz we are in first class!! HAHAHA! sucker economy class~ HEH HEH HEH!
A PUNCHEK IN THE BUS TIRE! luckily it happened just a few metres away from our destination

A PUNCHEK IN THE BUS TIRE! luckily it happened just a few metres away from our destinationthen it was a 3hrs ride to taman negara,
I was expecting it to be something like this.....
A SAMPAN!! haha! but it actually wasnt that bad because thanks to the hint of technology they employed here, there was motor. so we didnt have to actually DAYONG the SAMPAN for 3hrs. so a big PHEW! there. the ride was surprisingly shiok!! the cool river breeze and spectacular greenerys all around was extremely soothing. there wasnt much bobbing from sidetoside, up and down or whatsoever. I even managed to finish reading a book without vomitting my guts out (:
orange cup fungi!! how cute can fungi get!!
longest canopy walk in the world!
peak of the 8km climb!! omgg its like, WE ARE HERE, FINALLY!!!!!!!! *bouts of highness* then fatigue immediately took over and we took damn long to descend.
I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH ELEPHANTS, I AM GOING TO MAJOR IN THEM despite the slim possibility of getting myself a job to do with them in singapore
bathing with the elephants!!
a picture with the snake! heh! its not slimy, btw -.o
check out the contipated look on my sis's face!!!
HIAK! we just lifted a rock- stalactite! xD
limestone cave
my sister idolises me!
naughty monkey koped that from someone
muahchee in 6 different flavours!! there's lychee, mango, ribena, black sesame, pandan and originial!! WOOHOO, HEAVEN!
FOUR LITTLE CUTE LOHS UNITE!
JIALOH, WEYLOH TWINS AND HUILOH.
but the reality wasnt even remotely close -.- THIS is the one we had to sit in for 3hrs!
