Welcoming Christmas =)

Last 2 working days of Year 2009

Line wasn't as busy as it always should be

And most importantly,

Everyone is starting to be in a holidaying mood

Which explains all of our playfulness while working =)

Grandma, Woon, me and Rachael


Me and Grandma, the one who's always concern about all of our well-being

Me and Woon, the "ice-cold" girl, but it's proven wrong by us =P

~ ~ ~

Day 2 - Last working day of Rachael
Grandma, Woon, Rachael and me


Rachael, me and Woon


Woon, Boss and Rachael - See how good the three of them "coordinate" with each other =D


Me and Rachael helping to advertise Australia Post products =P

Rachael's farewell gift from Toan, 2009 Australia Post Stamps Yearbook


Last but not least, of course our boss being our Santa Claus =D
~ ~ ~
Wish everyone a Merry Christmas
And may your Christmas be as merry as mine...

I cut my hair =)

So i still can't wait for the few more weeks before i go back Malaysia to cut

The curling in the picture is just temporary

Now after my shower, my hair became wavey back

But my front is short again

After very long Rachael only realised

"Ehh, this is Wai Chien!"

Cause that was how my hair was when i first reached Melbourne

=)


This is a more obvious picture that Rachael cut her hair as well

Since both Woon and Jia Han also asked the same question

"You cut you hair also?"

Had a good shopping session with Rachael today *hugs*

Girls' Shopping as usual

=D

One year

It had been a year, an exact one year marked by December 10.

This day one year ago, i declared to stop blogging.

That was the day we broke up.

Thinking about my Australia exchange program for the past one year, it felt like i've been through a lot.

But whenever recalling about the memory with him, it still felt like yesterday.

One year ago, i moved all his messages to a folder i won't see but it existed.

One year after, it took me quite a bit of courage to open that folder.

I read through all the 300+ saved messages one by one.

And i deleted them one by one.

It's painful, but it was a pain which i was supposed to face a year ago which i couldn't bring myself to.

Instead i'm glad i did what i did today.

I reminised what happened, those happy days.

But at the same time, reading all those messages in a calm mood and clear mind, i saw what went wrong.

It wasn't him, it was me.

He couldn't have done more than enough to make me feel secured.
I was too blind to see what he had been doing.
I had been too deaf to hear what he had been saying.

Reading back all those messages conveying of what he had been trying to tell me and the patience that accompanied it.
It was my wrong to doubt him.
I was a lucky girl that time.

He made a right choice to break up with me, cause the relationship had been a tiring one.

Trying to convey a same message over and over again, how can it not drain his energy.

Looking back, i couldn't feel more glad that we had been together once.

But i'm even more relieved that he made that decision, because it's really for the two of our's good.

I treasure this relationship we once had, as beautifully as the relationship started, it ended as peacefully as it could.

Thank you for all those you did for me back than, it was me who didn't appreciate it.

But i'm glad everything had come to an end.

Christmas Dinner

Yes i know, it's still a bit too early for Christmas Dinner.
But i guess the Australians do it early cause during Christmas Day itself, they will spend it with their loved ones.
~~~
Woon and me
~~~
Tran and Toan
Wife and Husband (obvious)
And of course they play an important role
Toan is our boss!
~~~
Rachael, Woon, me and Grandma
We miss you Jun
There would had been so much more laugther on top of the ones we had if you were around
You aren't forgotten
=)
~~~
Gifts

I suppose it meant to be a Christmas card from Jun
But somehow, the envelope was not sealed properly and the card went missing
But i still appreciate the empty envelope
Notice the stamp, that was a stamp i wanted
So nevertheless of what happened to the card
I still appreciate Jun's thought
Thank you!
=)

~~~
From Tran and Toan
Tran's nice thought to get the bag, but poor Toan who had to pay for it
Still, thanks a lot for the sweet gift
=)
~~~
Finally the finale
Woon's super duper sweet sweet thought
Never would i dream of getting this as a gift before
But see,
She's actually so smart to think of getting that as a gift for me

A HELLO KITTY mouse!!!
You guys couldn't see how happy i was when i opened the gift
Thanks Woon...!!!
The card, the gift, and you, are just as sweet
~~~
But guess what's the most precious gift i received for this year's Christmas
It's not something tangible
It's what i gained from working in the post office especially with the people i work with
All these months had been a precious precious experience and memory
Which i think is the only thing which i would tear for when i leave
Thank you Monash University Post Office
*hugs for all of you for making such a great combination*

Gold Coast Day 4 (Part 2) + Gold Coast Last Day

Dinner at Dracula's Cabaret Restaurant, BroadBeach
They didn't allow photography which explained the lack of pictures during the whole dinner time
But it's definitely an UNIQUE experience!
From the Entrance
to the Ghost Train (which i hided behind Sue throughout the whole ride)
to their Waiters and Waitresses
It's a big "WOW"
Definitely something worth an experience
=D


We were VIPs with priority entrance queue identified by the lanyard noting your date of death
(yes you read it correctly, it's your date of death)

At the end of the dinner + show


Note their make ups
That's how all their waiters and waitresses look like
They are scary
They might stand behind you while you were eating
Or they might come blow into your ear while you were taking pictures
And they talked really rudely to you
But in fact
They are very friendly people
I remember seeing or hearing from somewhere that they got an award for being the best crew


Last day at Gold Coast Airport

And that's our last day in Gold Coast

Having a light breakfast together in the airport being saying "Goodbye" to each other
She's a uni mate who accompanied me through ups and downs since 1st year 1st semester,
From someone who never says hi and sometimes showing me nasty faces in Sunway Library,
To today being a friend who i have such a sisterly bond with.
Never knowing our paths had crossed each other so many times before,
It's fate which gave us a chance to know each other.
With never ending conversations,
We can talk about anything and everything as long as it's her and me.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend,
Thank you for being such a great sister,
And most importantly,
Thank you for being the perfect "partner in crime"!
=D
And to everyone who's reading this,
I hope you found your perfect "partner in crime" as well,
Because you don't know the fun you are missing out when you haven't find one.
*hugs*
=)
