Dear Chibi,
Yesterday after work I went by Kino to see if I could find “Knitting for Dummies”- I’ve been thinking about it for a while, it’s something I would like to know how to do, just for fun. It looks tricky though, wish there was a Flora or someone to teach me =) I don’t know anything about knitting, except it’ll probably require a lot of patience and practice. But I decided to go for it anyway. I mean, what do I have to lose?

So I walked in and had a look around but couldn’t find it :/ What a disappointment. However, I continued to browse the crafty section and found another book, not on knitting but more on sewing =D I contemplated whether or not I can make the things indicated in the book  (it’s always harder than it seems) but in the end, it won me over.

It was a book on how to make stuffed toys :3 I walked away from kino happily and excited until I got a random flashback of the first plushie toy I made in High School O__o The scary looking bunny with no sense of cuteness.. aw. BUT! T’IS IN THE PAST! I was in denial and convinced myself it was many years ago and now I somehow have better taste in cute stuff @.@

I read through it once I got home, again got all excited until I realised I couldn’t start anything yet since I haven’t purchased the materials. aw. I wanna buy it NOW. XD I’m looking forward to it. I hope they turn out as fun as it appears, because I’d be utterly disappointed to know I was excited over nothing.

If everything goes well, I hope to share what I make here someday.

Dear Chibi,

Shifty-Chef James came over today to cook us lunch to celebrate our birthday and for graduating =D aw, how sweet ^^ He appeared at our front door around 11am with bags of grocery! It was getting quite exciting. We cooked a whole bunch of stuff- fettucini with white carbonara sauce and ham pieces, smoked salmon salad (with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, corn, red onion), bruschetta and chicken kebab sticks. He was the chef, and I was his assistant- I did half of the stuff, yay- go me. We timed everything so the food would be ready when Kaz and Mum came back for lunch. Mark was home too, but he prefers to play the wii than help in the kitchen, lol.

TA DA! The meal was wonderful =) I learned a few things today too, so it was a fun cooking experience.

Dear Chibi,

This is a pretty cool interface I just happen to come across and is worth checking out (especially for designers). I love how everything runs so smoothly and quickly. I like the concept of the non-clicking. But yes, you’ll have to click on it to get there first ^_^

Dear Chibi,

I really enjoy looking at good cosplays, and I stumbled upon these little ones that made me squeal x3 I have to share it!

Omg, how adorable. It would be so cute if a group like this entered a convention cosplay competition, haha.

Dear Chibi,
Yesterday Mum and Dad took a day off work, Mark arrived at work at 7.30am, and left at 11am, and Kaz skipped her Uni tutorials for my Graduation!! =D (Yes, I took a day off work too but that doesn’t really say much ;p) Woohooooo… I’m officially graduated with a Bachelor of Digital Media Degree- it’s a degree I actually want too. It’s a happy moment for all of us though there’s a little sadness in it as well.

We arrived in UNSW Kensington campus around 3pm, and went to the Graduation store to grab our Gowns and hats. I saw a few of the other COFA guys there already dressed up. The hat was kinda too big for my head, and I had to keep adjusting it throughout the evening cause it was slipping off, lol. The gown was nice, had a strip of gold and pink at the top but was a little heavy for me. Am I too small to graduate or something? haha. I liked it though, it made me look all nice and smart (and kept me very warm)

Once the outfit was sorted we wasted no time and went straight for the photos! Kazzy took us around to some great location on campus to take family photos, and pictures with those who came along, including Leo, Lemon, Francis, Brian, Richard, Louie (did I forget someone?) Thanks for coming by guys =)

It was a lovely day but it got dark pretty quickly. We made our way up to the library lawn, where we saw the COFA gang and started our group pictures. Lots of families, lots of smiles and camera flashes =)

The Graduation ceremony commenced at 6.30pm and ran for about 1 hr 15 minutes. More BDM people and familiar faces. However, there were still quite a few people who weren’t present… wonder what happened to them?

After the ceremony, we threw our hats and headed off for refreshments where some people took portrait photos. It was getting late and we were hungry, so we headed home.

Dinner? 2 minute noodles, lol.

Thanks Kaz for the huge pink flower, Peggy and Lawrence for the tulips and Mum and Markos for the lovely expensive frame =) It’s another memorable day of my life.

I’m the two again!





Dear Chibi,
Last night on the 17th May 2008, Kerry and I celebrated our 21 years of young-ness and silliness together, at the Forbes Hotel Level 3 with our friends. =)
Jacky, Mark, Kaz and I got there around 5.30pm to start setting everything up, only to get there and realise the helium balloons and cake has not been delivered o__o We were told it would be there at around 4pm.. so we panicked. There’s no way we can have a party without them, but we tried to stay hopeful, and started arranging all the chairs and marble tables. The manager came in and was setting up the bar, and asked if we had brought our own CDs… which we did, thanks to Kat. We had to bring many of our own things, including the microphone and speakers. Kaz and I stuck up our baby pictures which confused the guests BIG TIME! whee… that part was funny ^_^ The girl in red looks most..mischievous XD It’s Kerry, by the way. Thanks to Jacky for the prints.
So, it was around 6pm, and still no sign of our lovely balloons which we’ve already paid for, and we couldn’t reach them cause they weren’t picking up. What added to the panic was that friends started calling and saying they were already here (It didn’t start till 7pm) ! We tried to delay them lol This is when Jacky and Mark started blowing up the other balloons we brought along. We thought about running around the city trying to buy a last minute cake just in case it never comes.. but LUCKILY, it did! =D Pheww……….. We were relieved!!
Everything ran perfectly after =) Minus the fact Somps and Jono came before..7pm. hahahaa. No, they didn’t inform us beforehand so we couldn’t delay them XD Oh wells, they can help blow some balloons and what not XD Once it hit 7pm, people started flooding in, and it didn’t take long before it was a little hard to keep track of everyone ^_^ Everyone looked gorgeous though!
I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to every one of you who came to celebrate with us. I appreciate you being there more than anything else, it really made my day. I don’t think I’ve ever had this many friends come together at once, and it was just a wonderful feeling seeing everyone again. Thank you to all those who gave a speech for me, Kat, Bert, Mal, Germs, Somps, Markos, Kaz and of course, Jacky <3

Also, thanks to Raymond, Kat and K-man for staying behind and offering to help us pack up in the end.

I’ll never forget this night. =)

P.S Just a friendly advice to all those giving presents in the future…please label your presents ^_^;
PP.S Photos to be uploaded on facey-book =)

Dear Chibi,

See…. Jacky’s Blog Entry–>

Dear Chibi,

Phew.. home at last, my legs are feeling a bit tired from today. I haven’t been going to work for the past few days (and including the weekend, that makes 5 days off!) I’ve been rather occupied with various things, did plenty of shopping, had things to plan and organise, went to the dentist, had Yumcha with Grandparents, had a few appointments and today was my bro’s graduation ceremony- yay to him!

This graduation ceremony was the first I’ve been to- but pretty much what I expected. It was all rather exciting for him, and I was mainly snapping heaps of pictures. He looked good, and rather smart in a tie and suit =) Kazzy came after going to a job interview so she was also in a business suit! I felt a litttttle out of place, but it’s okay- at least I look young, haha. Peggy also attended the ceremony with us and gave me a early birthday present! It was a pretty Swarovski pendant, thank youuu ^^

The actual ceremony took about an hour, and I can see that my graduation will be extremely similar- with the same processes getting on stage etc. It was an enjoyable experience, even though Mark was second last to get on stage (I think I’ll be pretty similar too….seeing as Ws love making us near the end of lines XD)

Afterwards we went out to have some refreshments, helped him takes more pictures with his friends- and we headed home. Kazzy was somewhat depressed during the day as she didn’t perform very well in her interview today- but then- during the trip home, she got a call from Ernst and Young who offered her a position (from yesterdays interview)! yay- Congratulations Kaz =)
