Welcome Summer! Yes with temperatures ranging between 28-38 degrees celsius. Still, I think I'll love it. I mean I'm an all-time tropical girl from Singapore who practically lived in a sauna for 22 years. Haha, well summer's not here till december though, just a few more days wait.
Now that uni's out, I can't wait to start something different. Yes, I can't wait for Cotton On kids to give me a call! I mean, what could be taking them sooo long? I've gotten the contract signed and my working pass, why are they still keeping me up? The store said will probably start around december...just have to wait for her call. Okay, I guess I'm being too impatient since the summer vacation is going to last till end february (which is a long time!) and this is my first time working in Australia which just makes me excitied. Well, a little nervous but definitely excited. Hmm, and also since both my parents are currently not working, I'm hoping to be able to keep this job to earn enough money to pay a little for my school fees.
And, if I can keep it long enough, I think I would like to visit an Orthodontist, hopefully I can get my teeth fixed without having to go for a jaw surgery. Maybe I should tell you a little bit of my history. I was supposed to wear braces around 2009 to get them fixed, but according to the doctor, well, it might take three years to get the whole procedure done. Of course, my family could'nt wait that long as we'll be emigrating to Perth in June 2011. So, we cancelled the surgery. Trust me, I was quite sad at that point of time. But now, looking back on hindsight, I think it might be a good thing. Because I really do not want to go for a surgery, I'm really okay looking like that, just with straight teeth :)
Okay, that's like my own secret wish. Teehee. I mean, He made me this way, I don't want to dislike it. Like I always say, learn to embrace things instead of hating them, that way, life will be so much easier.
So back to life for me. Yes, still waiting for an assignment to a professor...still waiting to start working...still counting down for my brother to come back to perth....still waiting for what God has in store for my life.
Had a great korean dinner with my cell group yesterday. Had an incident on the train back, but it was alright. Today, my sis and I are having another dinner at subiaco. One of our uni friends is going back to Germany (Yup finished her SEP). My last chance to practice my deutsch mit ihr. Danken Sie Ihnen für Ihren Zeit heir. Sie sind sehr freundlich...Ich werde du vermissen. I shall used formal tone with you :)I'm sure we'll have a great time tonight.

A perfect love story
I heard about a girl and believe me, her love story is one that touches my heart so so much, and so I'm here today to share it with you.
There was once a girl who lived with her parents. She was the oldest child and she had two younger brothers. Since the day she was born, her parents didn't love her. They favoured her two little brothers even up till when they all grew big. This poor little girl did not live like a daughter, instead, she lived like a servant in the house. Her parents would make her clean the house, cook the meals and when guests come, she would have to serve them tea. Every now and then, she would go downstairs to a provision shop to buy goods and replenish the food in their house. She wasn't a daughter in their eyes. To her parents, she was like a maid, a child that they didn't wanted, all because, she was a girl. They only love boys.
Soon her two younger brothers each got a girlfriend and they were happy. But this poor girl, who is now in her late twenties was still single and had to do the housework. But what amazes me was that though she was upset and lonely, never once did she disobey her parents. Everyday, she would obediently do the housework and clean the house. She never did mix with anyone except her close cousin, whom she shared her feelings with.
One day, she made a mistake while doing the housework and gotten a scolding from her father. He was so mean and said that she was useless, could never do anything right, that's why no man would want to marry her. Upon hearing that, the poor girl began to cry. She felt so hurt that her own dad would say that to her. In her heart, she would love to get married. She would love to have her own family one day. But at that moment, she couldn't retaliate. All she did was to phone her cousin and poured out her feelings to her.
Now this girl had a very good neighbour. And they would often greet each other when they see each other. One day, this neighbour was buying some goods from the same provision store that the girl always buy as well. The shop owner, who had a hired hand whom he treated like his own son, asked the neighbour if she knew any girl who is kind, homely and sweet that he could matchmake with his hired hand. You see, this hired hand was a nice lad, and he had no parents since young. So the boss took him in and loved him like his own son. Immediately, this neighbour thought of this poor little girl who is living with her parents. The neighbour said okay, she'll try.
After visiting the shop, this neighbour went to the girl's house and told the girl's parent about it. Upon hearing the news, the girl's father got so mad, but he didn't say a word. When the coversation was going on, this girl was actually standing one corner, listening intently. When the neighbour left, the girl's mother asked her daughter about it and the girl, who was so happy to hear that there is someone who wants to marry her, immediately said yes.
So it was a happy marriage. The couple knew each other as the girl would often go to the provision shop to buy goods for her family. And she would always see this hired man (this nice gentleman). They had a quiet wedding, but both bride and groom were super contented. Of course the neighbour who introduced the matchmake was there and she wore a nice pretty dress to celebrate the happy occasion.
The boss of the provision shop was so kind to allow the newly weds to stay at the empty house just above the shop. Ever since the girl got married, she would seldom returned to her parents' home. She knew that if she were to visit them often, her parents would make her do the housework again. She would only go back on their birthdays, on new year's day and moon cake festival. Other than that, she would prefer staying at home with her husband, cooking for him, helping out at the shop and doing her housework.
And that's the end of the lovely love story. They lived happily ever after. The lonely girl ended up having three beautiful children who now probably had their own children. Every new year, she and her husband would visit her neighbour who brought them together. They loved that neighbour very much. Sometimes, her neighbour will tell her about her parents, who now had to do the housework. Once in a while, they would spot her mean father sweeping the corridor.
To me, that was the nicest love story I've ever heard. This is a real story, and this poor little girl is now already a grandmother. The cousin whom she was so close to is my grandmother. Yes, it is my grandmother who told me this story. When she got married, my grandmother wasn't there as she just had my uncle and was in the hospital. After that, they never saw each other again. But she knew that her cousin is no longer a poor, sad and lonely person. She knew that her cousin now live a happy life, who earned her freedom to live her own life.
I was so moved when I heard her story. So happy for her. And I would love to share this story with my children one day.

This is always hard for me
To don't know when I'll ever see you again
And this Makes saying goodbye so hard
The past three days had been a blast
Oh how I wish they could last forever
Six years of knowing each other
So many memories that we had shared
The laughter, the studying, the friendship
All comes to an end yesterday at the airport
Thanks for flying four hours just to visit me
It wasn't easy but yet you chose to take that chance
I can't tell you how much that meant to me
Only to be able to express these words here
I don't know when I'll see you again
All I can do is to trust that one day I will
And till we meet each other again
Let's continue to keep each other in our hearts
And this Makes saying goodbye so hard
The past three days had been a blast
Oh how I wish they could last forever
Six years of knowing each other
So many memories that we had shared
The laughter, the studying, the friendship

Thanks for flying four hours just to visit me

I can't tell you how much that meant to me

And till we meet each other again
Let's continue to keep each other in our hearts
