just learned how to use photoshop thanks to my sister..it's always great to learn something new during the hols besides lazing around :P wanted to edit most of my photos before i update my post but there are just too many photos i want to share!
went to Sultan Garden few weeks ago and i brought my new love to take pictures + exploring its various settings :)
Yayyy went to singapore science centre with my jiejie on thursday, and it was really really fun! enjoyed the trip..Bodyworlds is REALLY REALLY REALLY cool! something to die for! couldn't take pictures there though, but SGD21 is definitely worth it!
Visited the usual science centre stuffs before we went for the bodyworlds exhibition :)

after that we went to Bodyworlds! woooah saw a lot of real human specimens you know! seriously educational.
some people may think it's scary but i was really impressed by the awesome plastination technique they used to preserve the bodies! saw lots and lots of them, you can search for some of them from Google image!
after that we went to Lao Bei Jing!
Not many people there.
The xiao long tang bao was very nice!

after we came back to malaysia, we went to City Square and i was soooooo happy when i saw the new Elianto shop!! bought BB cream and 2 shades of eyeshadows, very affordable and the quality is good!
guess what phyllis lent me after my exam? her lomo camera! super cute and super tiny!!

can't wait to go back and get myself a digital camera! my brother-in-law suggested me to get Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 coz it's pretty good and i think i'm not pro enough for a DSLR! hahahaha..hope to gain more photography knowledge from phyllis and my brother-in-law so i can take "pro pro" pictures too! hehe :P
meet Blundy and NoName!! love this pic and i editted the colours using Picnik
i still can't believe i've finished my exam! which means, my first year at uni has ended! which means, i have to blog blog blog blog! over the past few weeks i felt that i've lost the "mojo" to blog, and i wondered if there's any human still bother to read my long forsaken blog..so yeah, here i am to blog about my happenings!
and i actually need to write down the things i want to blog about in case i missed out anything :P
R A N D O M S
went to northland today and bought a new wallet! me happy~first time having a longitudinal shaped wallet, love it :)
my eldest sister gave me this wallet when i was 11...have been using it for 8 years! it used to be really furry but now it has no "mao" at all already.
quoted from chun-chin: Now you would have to frame the old wallet and save it for posterity... It's an antique and a potential heirloom...
hahaha yeah i'll keep it for sure since that's my first "proper" wallet (what i had in primary school was just a coin purse)
before we got into the bus back to latrobe, we saw this mcdonalds donation thingy and we donated some money (according to phyllis, they are raising funds so that they can organise a fun outing for those critically ill kids) and we got this wristband that printed "Love Hope Support" on it :)
oh! and many many many weeks ago caroline (my swedish floormate) baked me a swedish apple crumble! coz one day we were talking about apple crumble, and she told me that she'll let me taste the swedish style of apple crumble!
her grandma's recipe =)
G i r l s D i n n e r
thanks lizzie for organising this awesome dinner + cooked for us! had loads of fun chit-chatting and playing games! Lizzie loves U2 soooo much that she just kept playing U2's album on the CD player! and when we headed back home i just couldn't get rid the songs out of my head!
camwhored before we go to lizzie's! yala yala very ugly lah!! later let you see my lenglui pictures to make up for this :D
e-fei-lyn, fei-lis and fei-yen quah (fei=fat)
the rest of the photos were taken by lizzie :)
josie, phyllis, me, marian and olesya
too enthusiastic i guess =.=
we were playing this game which we have to draw our own room on a piece of paper...and then we mix that up so that people can randomly pick one and comment on it, eg analysing what sort of character the room-owner may have..it's fun!!
lol latest yoga posture!
marian is so gonna kill me if she knows i put this in my blog!
CU-FOCUS End of Year Dinner
It's a great night for Christian Union and FOCUS people to dress up nicely and get together!
Credits to Cameron and Phyllis who took the photos :)
Gorgeous Marian was the MC of the night :)
Helen, me, phyllis and felicia
Fel, Phyllis, Me, Sarah, Marian, Olesya, Miki Dongdongdong and Lizzie :D
Josie and i. so sad lah she's graduating end of this year and most probably she won't be around in bundy next year :(
sarah ko, phyllis, wulan, me and marian!
super love this pic coz my eyes look BIG here! finally :) we were playing "The Minty Challenge" so after eating the mint candy we had to tear the wrapper (cannot use more than one wrapper) and see who can get the longest strand!
so i've mentioned in my previous post that i spotted a black bunny in my uni..looks mysterious hey...
and one day i saw the bunny again!
looks like it's burnt. LOL. so cute to see it munching and nibbling around, though it's kinda weird to see a bunny having white eyes..
went to preston last saturday and bought all these good stuffs! these are for the Samaritan's purse program, where we fill the shoebox with nice stuffs for kids who're victims of war and natural disasters, so that they can have a happy Christmas with the love from God, and from us =)
get to know about this program from my church, so many of us decided to support this program!
before u fill in the box, u have to select the gender and the age category u'd like to give ur box to. mine is girl from 10-14 years old!
put my stuffs into this shoebox with love! added a note inside, wishing the blessed child a Merry Christmas and Jesus loves her!
shamay shamay see see so many beautiful flowers! :) but blogspot somehow reduced the quality of this collage i made :(
looks like angpow/firecrackers when u see it from far..
my favourite berry-looking flower
la trobe is a beautiful uni indeed :D
went to chisholm admin office to change my blue wristband into this baby pink one!! they have heaps of them!
it's kinda cool to have this pink wristband as my room's electronic lock. can just wear it anywhere and just tap it on your door to open ur door :)
thanks caroline for this super yummy sticky chocolate cake! she's so gifted!
phyllis chan came to my room and used NoName (the grey bear) to bully my Momo! 挑拨离间！！！haha
but my floormate did something worse instead!! poooooor momo!
took these pictures in my hostel bathroom. bathroom art indeed :)
love these!
took these photos during class. lots of people brought snacks for us to eat during the group presentation!
this is an epic one..lol
cooked for FOCUS on friday! made vegetarian pasta and many people said it was nice! thank you phyllis for preparing together with me, and thank you siaw eng+phyllis for cutting the super hard pumpkin!
TADAHHH~
went dinner with church mates last night @ Rasa Cinta restaurant, a malaysian restaurant beside jade kingdom..despite having less customers compared to jade kingdom, Rasa Cinta serves realllly authentic malaysian cuisine and it was really yummy! Satisfied all my cravings and i'm all happy now :)
匆匆忙忙吃了早餐就去上IPB (Interprofessional Practice B) 的workshop。我的team从年头就只有3个人（2个aussie女生和我），因为不知道另外的2个teammate是不是dropout了。老师问过我们要不要跟别的组merge，怕我们做group assignment比较吃力，可是我们倒是觉得3个人也不错的。
There's just so many random stuffs going on that I don't even feel like writing a post on my Mt Buller snow trip! super long overdue post..will post it someday when i seriously have no random stuffs to share!
Made curry laksa yesterday for my floormate and i ! it was really good.. i wish i can cook for my family and friends when i go back to malaysia!
不要用那种‘你会煮饭meh’ 的表情看我。。我可是做菜做了快9个月的哦！给我点信任嘛！(pardon me for being defensive again..)
Spring is here! it's so warm outside..everyone is thrilled over it but me...i prefer the super chilly winter!
But it's definitely mood-lifting to see all these colourful flowers on the way to uni!
had my favourite small cappuccino with 2 sugars while chillaxing by the lake..
p/s: phyllis, the lengzai made my coffee today!!!
went to Preston market to do the groceries with phyllis, marian and mirosha last saturday and it was fun! with lotsa crazy moments and lotsa fun! it was super warm (24 degree celcius) that day and i didn't like it...wondering how i'm going to survive the summer..or probably i'll get used to it soon? hopefully.
we saw this freakish leaf-looking creature on mirosha's jacket...it totally freaked me out when it stopped on my hand! and they actually call this thing "EvyLeafyGreeny"...
worst of all it actually followed us into the tram! Throughout the whole journey i just kept staring at it..
Oh and i saw this really cutely trimmed plants on my way to the tram stop! To think they actually pasted fake eyes on them to make them looking like animals!
saw this in FOCUS house...HEAPS AND HEAPS of carrots and onions...
i was bored during ESL seminar...hee..
end of my random pictures..it's time to do my work now!!!
decided to blog this in english because there are so many people i'd like to thank, and hopefully they will see this when they come across to my blog..
thank you everyone who are always by my side and constantly praying for my conjunctivitis+skin allergy condition. I think i'm gradually recovering from conjunctivitis! yay yay~ less itchy and my eyes are less reddish now =) no contact lens for the rest of september though...
WARNING: gross pictures regarding my conjunctivitis+skin allergy ahead..please make sure you're not eating while reading my blog..
.

my conjunctivitis was pretty serious last week...it was super itchy and occasionally painful, with yellowish and sticky discharge that was constantly flowing out from my eyes, and i just couldn't stop tearing. was absent for most of the lectures coz bacterial conjunctivitis is highly contagious..went for some compulsory stuffs eg group meetings and group presentation, but it was super dreadful experience. got pretty depressed last week coz my skin and eyes were super itchy, and these distracted me from doing my work+hanging out with my friends.
it was pretty embarassing when you do your presentation in the class with super red+ swollen + teary eyes..maybe those people would think : wah this international student got bullied by her group members is it? so poor thing.. haha i'm just crapping..that's my favourite group okayyy :P
yeah so this is poor evelyn last week:
you can actually see the yellowish discharge on my left eye. looks pretty nasty isn't it?
reasons for having this dreadful conjunctivitis could be:
1) i scratched my body ( including my butt okay okay okay i know i'm unhygienic! i was NOT directly scratching my butt anyway zzz) during my sleep, and randomly rubbed my eyes and TADAHHH~~ hello to conjunctivitis. So make sure you dun simply scratch here scratch there then randomly rub your eyes okay! you'll never know what sorts of scary germs happily playing around and reproducing on your fingers!
2) as you all know, i wear contact lens pretty often...apparently the frequent putting on/taking off my contact lens action actually makes my eyes more sensitive coz it would more or less do a bit of "damage"(it's a big word u know, so have to put inverted commas) /scratching to my eyes, hence making it more vulnerable to germs and stuffs, despite being extra hygienic.
after visiting the doctor last week (wed), i went to the chemist (a.k.a. pharmacy in malaysia) to buy the medication prescribed by my doctor. however my condition didn't improve at all (by right i should be recovering in 5-7 days). so i heeded my mum's advice to contact auntie elizabeth (my dad's friend who is a nurse) on saturday and told her about my condition. She was so super nice you know, she gave me stronger medication (which are really specifically for bacterial conjunctivitis) on that day, plus saline solution for me to clean my eyes each time before i put my eye drops. She seriously saved me from being helpless and panic and depressed.
eye drops, eye ointment and saline solution. She gave me some of the curry puffs she made too!
so this is me on monday (yesterday)..call me rabbit tan! but looked MUCH better already.
and this is me TODAY!
oh and and and...chun chin and lawrence came to visit me on sunday...so sweet of them! they gave me some really good stuffs as well.
she actually gave me some lemons she grow in her garden! (still thinking what to do with these lemons besides making honey lemon drink everyday, hehe)..she also bought me some oranges for me to replenish more vitamin C!
oatmeal! chun chin told me to bathe with oatmeal+water coz the sodium laureth sulphate in normal bathing gel may aggreviate my skin allergy condition. Did a bit of research online, apparently oatmeal bath is good for many kinds of skin problem eg eczema and psoriasis. it's soothing and itch relieving, honest!
and natural fruity gummies!! so nice! chun chin says :"this is good because it's made of real fruit juice, without any preservative." so happy *immediately grabbed one and chewing happily now*
Helen B. from FOCUS called me yesterday and asked whether i'm feeling better now and if i need any help just call her. I was really surprised and touched..it's great to know tt there are so many people concern me..thank you mirosha for calling me since saturday just to make sure i'm alright...thank you every every everyone that prayed for me, especially my parents back in malaysia who were very worried about my condition. thank you keene for listing me as a prayer item during CGF prayer meeting..thanks for remembering me in prayer even though i serve in a different church now. Thank you phyllis, marian, sarah, mary and ALLLL coursemates out there who cared so much for me and encouraged me when i was feeling down.
在家靠父母，出外靠朋友这句话是真的呢。
oh and most importantly, thank you Lord for guiding me and letting me know that i should not take things for granted. It's all by God's grace that we can wake up everyday and use our eyes to see things, it's all by God's grace that we can do all sorts of things. It's amazing to see how God works within us through hardships. When everything seems to be so hopeless, He actually made this an opportunity for me to rebuild a better relationship with Him..coz He's the only one i could depend on, and He's my source of comfort.
wow, it's really a long post and i guess i have to wrap it up soon. hope u guys can continue to pray for my skin condition...it's getting crazy since 3 days ago and i couldn't sleep well coz my whole body was itching.
my right leg. it's actually redder than what u see in the picture.
my super itchy right hand...it's also actually redder than it seemed. it's becoming red spots today..instead of a big red patch..
sigh..i know i should blog on my mt buller trip as i promised on my previous post, but i just don't feel like writing the post at the moment, so.....i'll post it next time can?? it's not really procrastinating since i'm still updating! just that i'm updating different stuffs instead :P
went grocery shopping @ northland with phyllis yesterday, and we had lunch at sushi sushi, not bad, but i still prefer kinsahi's sushis..
guess what? i bought a box of SUPER HUGE strawberries that only costed me $1.90!!! it's super cheap since there's around 9-10 super huge strawberries per box :D
this is not the largest one
and it's great to sink your teeth in one of these amazingly sweet strawberries!
but i reckon that the best best best way of eating a strawberry is to eat it with chocolate ice cream (some say with warm, melted chocolate but i think that's a bit sick for me)
the idea of stuffing chocolate ice cream into the strawberry is actually inspired by yong tau foo..LOL!
'mmmmmmm~~' to the max!
oh oh and i had awesome+authentic korean dinner prepared by emily (my tower RA's girlfriend) and her korean friends..will upload the pics as soon as i get em! really had fun last nite!
.
.
.

yep here comes the highlight of my week --- sunday market!! it's pretty much similar to the pasar malams in malaysia, and it reminds me of those really nice moments i had with my dinner gang, the times when we go to nilai pasar malam by bus..
.
.
.
.
handmade soaps! it comes with all sorts of different smells eg strawberry, peach, frangipani,lavender etc etc...thinking of buying these as a souvenir for my friends back home!
cute handphone pouches..
candies!
super duper yummy GOZLEME (turkish mountain bread)!! it totally made my day man. there were lots of people queueing up for it!
the taste is actually 98% similar to murtabak (a type of indian prata thingy with meat inside), yummy yummy~
oh and this is the thing that really freaked me out...
mexican walking fish! eeewwww~i think ALL amphibians are gross, let it be frogs, toads or this mexican walking fish.
it's called 蝾螈 in chinese..
umm are they..mating? if so, there'll be even more mexican walking fishes in the future and that will be even more gross *faint faint faint*
beautiful flowers at affordable prices!
last but not least, Homer and Bart Simpson being 'hanged'! lol~ till then!
Julia F. drew this little smiley and pasted it on my water bottle. and I drew the confused/curious face and pasted it below. To me it's more than just a smiley =)
My fake twin, Phyllis bought this lovely Skittles T-shirt from Hong Kong! She has a white colour one and we plan to erm....eh hem...(you'll guess the rest)..Thanks FEELEES!
I spotted this super cute toy puppy from a huge pile of free costumes provided by Chisholm for the op shop ball! Saw it while other people were scavenging goodies for op shop ball, so I took it back (it's not stealing anyway, ppl could just grab everything there because it was provided by chisholm and people could just simply take those op shop stuffs and wear it+keep it). Wanted to call it 毛毛 (mao2 mao2, means furry furry) but realized that the name is a bit too common and uncreative (no offence to those people whose doggies or pets are called 毛毛) , so at the end I decided to call it 毛毛 BUT by it's cantonese pronounciation, which is mo3 mo1! Momo~~
I had this for my lunch! Thanks heaps to my floormate..He made this for me, so touched! Looks like a pretty simple meal but it tasted heavenly.
=)
thx viyina..she bought this fr China, it's really thoughtful of her :)
sorry for the overdue post..here i am to blog about the christian camp i went during the hols! it's called SUMMIT camp! and it's in Phillip island! i've been there once tho, with my family when i was eleven..it was frrreeezing in the beach (even tho it's summer in aussie), and we sat there patiently just to wait for the tiny penguins to appear.
and lots of people warned me about the extremely cold weather and constantly reminded me to bring more clothing before i head off to phillip island, coz the winter in phillip island is definitely gonna be colder compared to winter in melbourne. But when i reached there, it was surprisingly warm! thank God for the great weather especially during the day, despite several showers during the night time.
to quote marian - The Christian camp experience.. Just Jesus, Christians & me.Not even penguins. :P
okay it's time for pictures!
hungry! with mah best mate in FOCUS (phyllis was in hk, miss her so much during the camp! hahaha)
the dining area (notice the big grey seal on top)
bruce was trying to feed me a fish (FYI it's a fish-shaped pencil case :D )
irene, me, derrick and naves.
there were a lot of praise and worship sessions, and really great talks delivered by Andrew Reid (on Daniel chapters) and Simon (on Revelation). I find the talks really good in the sense that it's applicable to our daily lives.
Day 2
We walked to the beach in the afternoon and took lots of random+crazy photos
here comes the randoms:
love this!!
Day 3
Sruggled to get out of bed at 6.50am, and off we went to the beach to watch the sunrise!
US!
me with the sunrise!! i look very crappy though~hahaha
jump shot -FAIL
Launch!! :D
After breakfast I shared my testimony..talked about how I started to build relationship with God when I was in Form 1..that was the time when i felt really depressed, but God's words are always strong enough to support me, and He's my source of joy and peace =)
feedback was good, but to the wrong people!!
Aussies just couldn't tell us apart!! i mean..yeah three of us are short haired asians with red hoodies, but still...we still look very different don't we???
hahaha...sarah (the girl on the right) was telling me tt so many aussies approached her and said :"Good job Eve!" "Thanks for sharing the testimony! It was great" .. i was like ROFL! yeah but i really appreciated tt, at least i was able to talk and share my testimony on the stage without butterflies in my stomach, hee.
and irene (the girl on the left) told me the same thing too.. :"XX came to me and asked 'are you Eve?' " hahahaha~~i think to many aussies, most asians look the same ><
saw this in marian's room, really like it!
Day 4
Good stuffs i bought! i'm currently reading "The Reason for God"..it's so good that i can't take my eyes off the book (literally)
and here it comes to the highlight! the theme of the night was "Superheroes vs Supervillains"...i dressed up as a secret agent! and marian was the buttercup!
agent with puffy face ><
with Andrew as the PHYSIO-MAN!!
with bruce as Jack Skellington! his makeup was really cool (though he had skin allergy right after that...)
One thing secret agent couldn't stand was the aluminium foil man's BO..
okay this is really funny - Sarah as the Super...........MARKET!! HAHAHAHA~~
i thought she'd be sth like...carbo girl or sth like that, until felicia told me she's super-market! haha...
Talent Night! everyone got all dressed-up!
Lachlan the Superman (i think there were a total of 3 people dressed up as superman that night) playing solo bass! so cool.
had fun that night...
and the next day we went back to melb after lunch..thanks Pete for driving sarah and i back! hee~and the weather was wonderful :)
meet Blundy and NoName!! love this pic and i editted the colours using Picnik
到处可以见到大大大大的花丛 =)

很可爱的小女孩。。
香港floormate煮的是牛油金针菇炒牛肉，韩国floormate煮的是鸡蛋汤，还有korean BBQ pork，而我做的是麻辣洋葱炒鸡肉。。。吃得很满足，也感觉到这顿晚餐是多么的“国际化”，lol..
当天
呵呵～
