The Prince Frog

Wednesday, March 29, 2006
10.01pm
 
I talked to Prince Charles!! (Not the real prince, mind you)
Okay, well, so I’ve talked to him before during the Asian Banquet thing. I asked him little stuff. I didn’t like him much there because I thought he was kinda arrogant but I guess he needs time to warm up to people. He’s quite cute. He looks a bit like Rain :)
 
Anyho, it was after our last lecture with Dr. Costabile :(
He’s so cool and short. Hehe…
We were heading to the Reed building which is a walk down the street, past the medical school with all the medical students (We have planned to tent out and scout around for any potential future-doctor-boyfriend sort)
Deb and I slowed down and waited for Kimberley, Chiew Lee and Thanusha. Trotting slowly in front of them with his long strides was Charles :)
So we were walking beside him and I was just having small talk to Deb. Usually I’d be crapping but in the presence of a cutie, I must control myself and not scare him off.
He looked really sleepy and suddenly turned to us, “Aren’t you guys sleepy in that lecture?” he drawled in his Australian accent.
“Yeah, kinda coz the lights were dim,” I said. FYI, I walked beside him once before, a long time ago.
“Yeah,” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes drowsily.
“Hey, Charles?” Deb uttered.
“Hmm?” he blinked at her tiredly.
“Do you remember that picture that you took? Could we have it?”
He looked rather blank for a while so I said, “Er, remember we took a picture with you at the Asian Banquet?”
“Oh, yeah, yeah! Sure, no problem. It didn’t turn out okay for me though coz I was looking down.”
“Why? Were you shy?” I teased.
He smiled, “Nah, I’m not shy.”
“You could just send it to our e-mails. Do you think you can remember?”
“Er… I don’t think so. I could now but I’d probably forget it,” he smiled rather sheepishly, looking more awake.
“We’ll write it down for you,” Deb said.
“Yeah, that’ll be better.”
“Is yours really long?” I asked as we crossed the street.
“Well, yeah, kinda.”
“Does it have ‘Prince Charles’ in it?” I teased. He introduced himself to the class in MicroBio as ‘Charles, as in Prince Charles’.
“I wish!!” he grinned. “I’d like that.”
“Are you by any chance related to royalty?”
“Oh yes, I am actually,” he gave a big smile, playing along.
“Do you have a little crown?”
“Yeah, I do. It’s in my home, you should come over and see it.”
“Where you live?”
“Up North.”
“How far is it?”
“About twenty minutes away?” He guessed. “Hey, do you girls go to the OCF?”
[OCF- Overseas Christian Fellowship]
“Yeah, we do.”
“Did you go for last Friday’s? I wanted to go but I went to the Pub Crawl instead.”
[Pub Crawl – An occasion where a group of in society e.g. Biotech Society, wearing the society’s t-shirt, getting discounts in pubs, moving from one pub to another in a group together]
“Hey, you should come to the OCF this Friday, we’re meeting at Victoria Square. There’s gonna be a talk and it’ll be combined with other universities, University of Adelaide and University of Flinders.”
He looked a little hesitant, “Well, I need friends.”
“Are we not friends?” I gushed, pretending to sound offended. Deb laughed and he was a little startled but started laughing.

 I hope i didnt scare him off :D

OCF

It’s Sunday, March 26, 2006
12.09AM
 
Well… lots of things happened.
The bible study in OCF is quite fun actually. We get to discuss about things written in the bible and share our thoughts and feelings which I think is great.
Deb and I got grouped into the same cell group. It’s a permanent cell study group (for the bible study)
Peter Guoh, who’s from Sudan is also in our group. He’s a real nice guy. Very gentlemanly and soft spoken.
Erwin’s in my group too. YAY!
But beneath the sweet innocent exterior lies something very mysterious indeed. There’s something about him teasing his fellow 2nd year pharmacy friends and mentioning a few odd things about himself. Like he said he had a ‘despicable’ week, saying that he’s actually a ‘mad’ person and that he’s an unhappy person when he doesn’t seem like all that at all.
I’m a little unsure about him now. He’s still quite cute but he always seems like he’s not really there. He doesn’t look into people’s eyes. Most of the time, he looking somewhere on the ground in a dazed way… yeah… I found that pretty intriguing but it’s all starting to be a little sinister instead.
But I’m sure he’s a great guy. I have a whole year to get to know him in this cell group.
My fellow good coursemate, Jane Ng, who’s in 2nd year but studied her first year in Adelaide is in the group.
Danwin, Ayumi (this really pretty, petite Indonesian girl), Huey Yi, Deborah, Celina (a.k.a the Quiet One) and even Delwin’s in my group.
2 bruneians in a cell group.
What were they thinking???
Del’s a great guy. Deb and I agree that he’s sweet, gentle, devoted to his Gilian yet cool and manly at the same time.
Samuel has a girlfriend so he’s off limits. He’s actually from Hong Kong. So that explains his funny English accent. He’s really funny though.
Ming’s kinda cute too. He’s funny too.
Lots of people here are cute and funny!
 
I think Ayumi likes me.
I met her yesterday. She didn’t join us for the first cell group. We were walking to our study room so we introduced ourselves. While chatting with Ayumi, there’s like a static shock when she brushed her hand against my arm. She was holding some chocolate shake or something.
The static shock happened three times.
I turned to her and asked her if she realized that she shocked me three times. She looked puzzled.
I then asked her if she was attracted to me.
She started laughing.
I got a little suspicious.
After the cell group, we were heading back to HH3-09 room when she WINKED AT ME.
I got really scared. I told Deb. She only laughed and said I was funny.
-_________-“
No one takes me seriously.
LOL.
Anyway, she’s a great person. She has like a Caucasian boyfriend.
Like wow.
 
There’s an Easter Camp thing. Deb and I might go for a day. It’s supposed to be for four days and three nights but it’s quite expensive (A$80 for the whole camp and $30 for a day) and Deb might be visiting her grandmother and aunty in Melbourne somewhere near the Easter holidays.
Soo Hui called me just now and I told her that. She wants to head to Melbourne too.
Maybe we might go to Melbourne with Deb and stay in some backpacker’s motel for two days or something.
Well… we’ll see…
 
I still have so much stuff to do.
SHARON!! Bad news! Dr. Costabile’s lectures are done!! He’ll be back before the end of the semester to teach us something. Everyone was disappointed because he’s such a great lecturer. Not to mention cute.
Me so sad :(
Plus, my afternoon BioChem practicals has ended too!! I won’t be seeing him after Tuesday’s tutorial, till the end of the semester!!
>________<”
Kimberley and I are absolutely crushed.
 
Oh, we saw Paul today. He’s so cute.
I can sniff him a mile away. Sometimes when we’re heading back home, I would sniff the air and say, “I smell Paul.”
Freakily, 9 out of 10 times I’m right.
Deb always asks me what he smells like. I tell her that he doesn’t have a scent. She gets all confused.
He came by while we were studying on the dining table and we had hung out our clothes to dry. He has to pass the clothes line in order to get into the back of his store. Our clothes line is at the left side of our house and his store’s back door is further down left. As he went past our kitchen window, he gave us a smile. We waved and he took steps backwards and shouted something to us. Unfortunately, we don’t have super hearing.
Since our underwear and stuff were there, Deb and I quickly went to clear them so that he didn’t have to duck his head down everytime.
Plus our underwear’s out there!!
Deb got there first and she was talking to him. He apologized for the mess that they left. He gave her a cute apologetic grin by grinning brightly at her, his head tilting up slightly with one leg sticking out. Deb laughed and said that it was alright because we don’t walk to the sides of the house often, only to hang our clothes.
I came and said, “Hi Paul!”
He grinned, “Hi darling! How are you?”
“Fine thanks!”
“Everything going alright?”
“Yup!”
“That’s great!”
I love talking to him because he’s so loud and bubbly. He’s wacky but sweet. He called Deb ‘Darl’ and called me ‘Darling’
I tried to rub it in to Deb but she just gave me the hand. You know, the hand that just says, “talk to the hand”
I know she’s jealous  XD
 
Have I mentioned Prince Charles yet? He’s not a real prince but he’s kinda cute too. He’s mixed of Chinese and Macau I think. He’s quite tall. At first, he’s not so friendly. In fact, he said that he never noticed us before. ME?? NOT NOTICED?? @___@
Anyho… we met him at an Asian banquet some two weeks ago and he’s pretty alright. We all didn’t like him at first because he’s a little arrogant and when Deb handed him his paper, he didn’t say thank you or when Huey Yeng opened the door for him, he didn’t even look at her. Maybe… he had trouble seeing us… the poor boy.
But at least now, he smiles and waves at us. Especially me :)
The rest of the class aren’t any friendlier, except for a few. Perhaps they are a little hesitant to befriend us.
I guess cause they’re in their 2nd year so they have their own group and stuff. It’s a little sad but Adrian Ho attracts them like flies. They all like talking and approaching Adrian. Especially the girls.
He still intimidates me a bit but at least I can kinda talk to him. He doesn’t really look at me but he’s treating me a whole lot better than a certain housemate (uh, not Deb)
I think that slowly but surely, we can become friends. Even Chiew Lee and I seem to have forgotten the past and gone back to our PRIME days. Though, I prefer being around Kimberley due to her quick wit and humour.
 
Oh. Deb’s now the PRESIDENT OF THE BIOTECH SOCIETY.
I’m the Year 2 class representative :)
There was a meeting for the biotech society but not many people showed up so most of us got the posts.
Thanusha’s the secretary. Kimberley’s the vice president. Huey Yeng’s the treasurer. Corrine’s the events coordinator. Corrine’s real nice.
 
Well, that’s all I can say for now.
There’s gonna be quizzes coming up so I’ve gotta start studying.

My cute biochem lecturer <3

Saturday, March 11, 2006
5.51pm
 
Dr. Maurizio Costabile is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!
He’s our biochem lecturer. He’s young and cute.
…And married with kid(s)
But he’s still so cute.
 
When he did the preliminary lecture with us, I thought he was kinda cute but nothing incredible.
He’s the type of cute that grows on you.
*shrieks with happy giddiness*
Anyho, after our first practical, Kimberley was the one who thought he was really cute. I told her that I just past him and heard him talk about his daughter to the ‘other lab guy’ who’s this old man with a stern and grumpy look and mutters.
*shudders*
I was so freaking afraid of him (not Dr. Costabile, ok?! How can such an adorable guy be scary?) on the first prac last Tuesday.
but not anymore cause he turned out to be a real nice guy :)
Why was I so afraid of him? For the first practical, he didn’t seem very friendly and when the practical was over, I was grabbing my bag to leave and as I was passing by him and Dr. Costabile who were chatting. He asked, “Did you wash your hands?”
And because he has such a low voice that it took me a second to realize that he was talking to me so after I past him, I took a triple take-back (which made Dr. Costabile laugh) and turned back to look at him guiltily. I said with a sheepish grin, “Erm, no? but I’ll get right on to it.”
Anyway, back to the topic about Kimberley liking him first and then finding out about his kid.
She was devastated but has gotten over it.
Though…I’ve never seen a gold ring around his finger…
 
I started like Dr. Costabile this Tuesday, we had a lecture in the morning and a practical in the afternoon.
During the lecture, a few Chinese students in the middle of the lecture room were chatting and giggling away, giving Dr. Costabile no respect whatsoever. Dr. Costabile just had about enough so he asked rather sternly, “Do you guys have a question?”
They fell silent.
Hmm… too late for that, eh?
“Don’t make me repeat myself,” said Dr. Costabile.
Phwoaaaaaaaar!!
He’s so hot when he got mad. Usually, he’s this easy going guy who smiles a lot. Even when students accidentally left their mobile phones turned on and they start ringing, he’d smile and sway a little to the tune. Isn’t he just so cute? :)
In the practical, I realized that how cute he was. While I was partnering with Debbie Webbie (uh, my housemate, the Debster), he came around to give us help now and then.
Deb had a problem with understanding the dilution thing to obtain a certain concentration so I was explaining it to her.
What I didn’t realize was that Dr. Costabile was standing at the sides just slightly behind us then he came closer. I was still explaining to her but she had trouble understanding. He then came and propped his head on his hands as he leaned his elbows onto the bench. He tilted his head sideways as he listened to me explain. At this stage, I felt very very very hot and that made me very very very self-conscious.
I couldn’t think properly so I was just explaining without thinking, I was busy wondering if my cheeks were burning because they felt like they were on fire!!
Deb still couldn’t understand when I was done so Dr. Mauriozio stepped in, he said, “The way you’re explaining it is perfectly fine,” as he straightened up. “But let’s try another way,” he then proceeded to explain to Deb in a different way.
He said my explaining was perfectly fine!!
*squeals with girlish delight*
 
When he left, Debbie was like, “Isn’t he cute? The way he put his head like that onto his hands?” she grinned.
YES, HE IS.
I started fanning myself because I felt hot. Debbie and I were both surprised at why I was feeling hot.
Wow. He has such an effect.
@______@
Deb just kept laughing at me because I was pink and fanning myself. Then when we were doing the second part of our practical, we were confused so Deb was like, “Should we ask him?”
I was like, “Ngeh…do we have to?”
“He’s coming over.”
WHAT????
She was chuckling as he came over.
He went, “See… I know when people need my help.” He grinned.
Aww… so helpful.
He started explaining but I was blur. He looked at me and said, “You look confused.”
Yes, I was, sir. Not anymore though, because you taught us :)
Deb said that before she could ask for his help, he was already keeping an out for us and was looking at us. When she looked at him for help, he noticed it before she could raise her hand; he started making his way over.
He’s really nice, isn’t he?
 
Oh my god… he would so freak out if he finds about this blog but he’s just a cute lecturer. I’m not going to stalk him or anything. He’s just cute and I’m sure most of the skirts in the uni thinks so too.
So um, sir, if you’re reading this, please don’t be offended :)
If it’s any consolation, I think that BioChem is interesting because the way you teach it makes it easier and more fun.
 
Daniel who takes care of our Biotech lab is pretty cute too. He’s really, really funny. He kept us laughing.
He was like, “Okay, the things up on the bench are considered as clean, anything taken and placed on the bottom of the bench is dirty. So let me sum it up, alright? Up is clean, down is dirty.”
“Up is clean. Down is dirty,” He repeated. “Say it with me, people. Up is clean. Down is dirty.”
LOL.
Then he taught us how to use the pipette. “Just put the pipette into the tip, twist and pull it out,” as he demonstrated for us.
“Let’s do that again!” he said with a kid’s enthusiasm. “Put it in, twist and pull it out. Isn’t that easy??”
LOL.
“It’s so easy yet no one seems to get it,” he grinned.
 
By the way, Deb and I joined the OCF (Overseas Christian Fellowship) which was really fun. I think Samuel and Erwin are so cute. Samuel oozes of manliness. Erwin looks like this sweet little innocent boy. I swear that he even blinks slowly in an innocent way.
Deb thinks that Maximo likes me. He’s cute too. He has a cute laugh. He’s the guy that I mentioned before, from the BBQ thing. He’s from Salvador but practically a local. He can speak Spanish!!
 
Oh, Paul returned our turner. He has the loveliest blue eyes. He’s cute too.
 God, there are too many cute guys here.
I’m practically dehydrated from all the drooling and the sorching sun is so not helping me.
 
Anyho, yesterday was the OCF city run. There’s usually a meeting every Friday at 7 till 9.30 and I think I’ll be joining Deb in them.
It’s really fun and great.
Not looking forward to the Bible study though… but I’ve never read the bible before so I guess it’ll be my first time.
I think that it’s alright even if I’m not a Christian.
I believe that all religions are from the same thing so it doesn’t matter to me. I might have to ask my mom if it’s alright though. I enjoy it and because everyone speaks English, I can understand it.
 
The city run was pretty fun :)
I met new friends from my campus and other campuses too. It’s really great, it’s like everyone’s a whole big family although we don’t really know each other very well yet.
I shall post up pictures, I promise!!
 
Oh, I met a friend of Soo Hui’s who is her neighbour, Adrian Bock. He’s a nice guy, a bit sarcastic though. Kinda like Soo Hui actually. LOL. I think that if they ever get together, they make a cute couple :)
 
Oh, in the OCF, there’s another Bruneian dude but he’s working now. He’s Delwin Keasbery. Does that sound familiar?
His aunt is the principal of St. Margret’s!!!
SHARON!! Did you hear me??
He’s a physiotheraphist who’s been in Adelaide for 7 years.
Cool huh? He lives near me too.

Why patience is so important?

Saturday, March 04, 2006
11.27pm
 
Well, I can’t post any pictures up. Not sure why but I promise to fill out the empty slots where the pictures are supposed to be once we get the internet :)
 
Anyho, guess what happened on Thursday night?
Debra was waiting for her letter from the HSBC bank about her ATM pin. Since the letters go through the front shops; the deli and Paul&Micah’s store, they always have to slide the letters through the metal bars of our front window.
 
Deb was particularly impatient that day so she went to see if her letters were in the shops. She found hers in a stack of letters in the letter slot of Paul&Micah’s store’s door. She came back and said, “I’m getting my letter” and grabbed two chopsticks.
She asked me to follow her. So I did.
She stuck the chopsticks through the letter slot and that’s when I realized that they were mine.
 
She couldn’t pull them closer to the slot. And people that were driving by probably thought we wanted to break into the store. I’m so glad that no one called the police.
I said to her, “Let me have a go. I’m better with chopsticks”
But my hands were fatter so I was pushing it even further.
I think she got annoyed at that. I can’t help it if I have fat hands! Hehe…So I told her that we should use the cooking turner instead.
Her face lit up, “Oh yes! I’ll call Huey Yeng now.”
So she called Huey Yeng to pass our cooking turner under a fence beside their store and hid our house.
 
Deb stuck the turner in and was trying to pull the letters closer when I said, “Hey, could you imagine if you dropped it in and Paul and Micah would come tomorrow to find it?”
 
And then she dropped it!!!
 
I couldn’t stop laughing. She was really horrified. I think I squatted there laughing for a few good minutes.
 
When I stopped laughing, I told her that we should write a note and put it in. She called Huey Yeng to pass us paper and a pen.
We squatted there, thinking of what to say. I was still giggling. I think the drivers that were passing by thought we were druggies.
We wrote…
 
   Hi!!
    We sort of dropped our cooking utensil while trying to get our letter.
 Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
 VERY SORRY =)
From the girls
 
 
I have not spotted my pretty Korean boy anymore. I’m so sad. Sniffle.
 
Oh, I lost my mobile keypad. Did I mention that? It’s so annoying now because I have to use a pen and it looked like I have a ‘Palm’ instead. Not that it’s bad but it sucks when people realize it’s not a ‘Palm’.
 
Deb, HY and Thanu bought me a necklace for my birthday. It’s so sweet. It was really pretty.
My birthday was alright. I was happy all day despite losing my mobile keypad. They don’t really sell those in the city so Soo Hui’s mom who’s coming sometime this month will bring it for me along with a box of my things.
I called mom on my birthday too. It was really great to hear her voice again. I really do miss her. I guess I don’t really realize it because I have my friends here with me.
 
Miss you, mummy…
