CHANGES - though not tremendous ones..

Ever wonder how you can actually still change yourself?? From personality to lifestyle (that you got so used to) and likes/dislikes. Hmm.. cause I think I did filed some not-so-significant changes in just within 2 weeks!! Haha.. like everyone know since now I'm damn damn free (in a way), I guess having that free time make me a new person :P

1. I used to think video games are a waste of time. Now, I want a Nintendo DS Lite.

Funny how it seems, especially when my bro would be busy playing with his computer games and all, I always say that he is like a game freak and all. When he plays his PS2, I would say he have nothing better to do. Now, I started to play games online and all, and I AM ENJOYING IT!!! Gosh, it is so sad to realise a girl, or more like a lady at 23 years old only know how to enjoy playing video games. DAMN SAD!!!! (Yes bro, your sis here is being a SAD OLD GIRL!!) And now before I get one, thanks to Angeline, I will play ONLINE GAMES to replace my temptations to buy!! :P

2. I spend money on baking equipments. Anyone want to try my creation?

I do like to bake all this while, but always thinking that I don't have the time. Even when I first tried to make muffins or cupcakes, my mum complained that she didn't even get that honour to try it as I do not do it back home often. My first touch of baking is like maybe a month before I head to Sydney for my very first time in 2005. I made 2 delicious cheesecakes that my dad and bro love it but mum as usual, do not want to try. Okay, I owe you one mum, I will bake more this time I go back and surprise you alright. Anyway, I bought stuff like blendermix, big cake trays and deco piping stuff yesterday and attempt to make something soon. Be surprise, as maybe you might get to see my creation soon in one of the special events. I wouldn't deny that it could have been Su Yin that make me want to do it now. Her blogs and her actual creations that I've actually tried, GOSH.. temptations.. even my MASA cupcake icing is still in my fridge. :P

3. I'm planning on my hopefully-future-freelance-job - Wedding Planner!!

Well, this I would say it could be because of people like Alicia (my ex housemate), Melvinder (my childhood friend) and Beatrice (my primary schoolfriend) that make me want to do it more. I have always wanted to help to plan a beautiful wedding for people but I just missed my chance on doing for my cousins and plus they all wanted VERY SIMPLE wedding. Why did I say it's because of the 3 person above make me want to do it more? Cause they got engaged this year!!!! I'm not sure did Mel really got engaged but it was the plan when I last met her. But both Alicia and Beatrice, I'm happy for you two but again, it is indirectly ringing my bells..:( Anyway, put the sad story aside (of me being single still), I really want to help to plan some nice weddings. Even VERY SIMPLE ones, I think it can still be unique and nice!! I'm now looking at more wedding books and websites, getting all the interesting ideas. Like I told Yamud, haha.. if I need a wedding singer, I will look for you.. ahah.. even Julian is in my list. (Yamud, I know you are reading!!) If I need good photographer, haha, Jonathan and Nik Arif..interesting!! Of cause if I am doing this line, you all would be paid la!! But I'm building my connections now!!! So, if anyone really need such service, be it in Malaysia or here in Sydney, I'm happy to help. If can, give me small angpau for now cause you never know next time I charge higher (if I get really good at it) Gosh.. this thing make me so excited until I even want to download the Wedding Dash PC Game!! Hmm, even party planner, I DON'T MIND!!

4. I became a good consultant - in some ways

If you ask what kind of consultant, I also don't know!! Since a long time ago, people ask me for suggestions and advices, I don't know how much it can help people but I guess I just speak my mind. What I think it's right and wrong. Entirely my opinion!! Up to the point, people even ask me how to settle relationship problems and all, haha..when I am not even attached before. However, I'm glad some of my advices did help. Now, people start asking me on how to write speech, how to build confidence. I guess I can say I did help a bit in helping some of my friends boost their confidences level, look at some of the MASA committee before. I'm glad those who were shy and quiet, tend to show their ability now which is a good thing. KEEP IT UP!! Conclusion, that make me want to study physiology and sociology to understand human mankind and able to help people. For now it's just a thought, I could study it myself through books. Thanks to Julie, for that talk we had while we were crossing the bridge. :P

5. I have been reading way lot more than last time.

Apart studies, I think it's been a while since I really finish a book and all. Therefore, I'm proud to say I actually finish 2 books for now and reading Princess Masako now. I think I have something for actual life-stories, like the book I read before was Once I was a Princess and it's sequel, Since I was a Princess. Angeline told me there is a book on Princess Anastasia, the true story too. I'm not into PRINCESS stories but behind all this stories you actually see how strong and how the actual royalties really works. I'm looking forward for more stories like this.

I guess that's all I can think about now. Those changes are enough to fill my time a bit. Haha.. and I'm having a sleepover tonight. I guess I will blog next time. And one more thing, I didn't know I will have fans reading my BLOG!!!! Thanks!! Maybe I will be the next freelance blogger for events:P like kennysia and xiaxue. WHO KNOWS!! I may be dreaming!! :P

What a weekend!!

There you go... another weekend is just about to pass. Since Thursday, I have been jammed packed with interesting events and exciting activities and one weekend that make me FAT!!!

Thursday > 18 October 07, after class, I met up with Junda, Shuli and Edison at Glasshouse Bar, UTS for the Oktoberfest celebration at uni. Well, from 4-ish pm we started drinking and by 7 something, I dranked 1.5 litre of beer and got myself a t-shirt and kept the MUG!! . What an alcoholic!! Initially after that we were supposed to go UNSW's Oktoberfest instead, I backed out when Syreen was still stuck with work and Joy didn't want to go already and therefore the others went on. Then met up with Joy for mamak (again!!). When I got home, I was supposed to do my assessment project but ended up sleeping the whole night...Zzzzz...

Friday > 19 October 07, I managed to wake up and got my project done and went for class to pass up. Later that afternoon, after meeting up Diane and Khad for MASA's Treasurer handover, I went to Syreen's and got ready to go to SUAMS Deepavali night. FOOD AGAIN!!! After that, we were still not full that we went KFC to pack some light snacks and cuddle on my living room watching Transformers until we went to bed..

Saturday > 20 October 07, the day that I concluded being the MOST TIRING DAY of the week as Syreen and I woke up early and managed to get to the meet up point on time for the MASA Bridge Walk and Picnic. There are least we got some exercise morning walk across to Milsons Point. I managed to pay Uncle William and Aunt Cindy a visit as it's been a while since I met them. We enjoyed some games at Bradfield Park as I was playing around with Nik Arif 's pro-cam. (tempted to get one now..:P) Great game and all.. until we even had overloaded pizzas that we had to come out with games that make losers eat the pizzas. After that, we took a stroll to Luna Park and then headed back to city with Syreen and Lynn.



Next stop.. food again!! I booked this high tea booking with Su Yin, the well known girl that makes those lovely cupcakes for my committee for MASA, a week ago. Thanks again!! So, there we met up with Angeline and Ashton and enjoy the interesting, nice and soothing tea that was introduced by Hui Xieng and Amanda who work there. Those nice little pastries by Su Yin was so nice that at the end of the high-tea, we were so FULL yet we had to finish it cause it's too nice!! YUMMY!!!



By the time we got back to my house and rest, we got ready late for UMNO open house which is another food stop. But TOO BAD, we reached there too late to eat nice malay food and ended up eating Nandos instead. It's all good at least i don't eat that much after the whole day of FOOD!!!

Today, Sunday > 21 October 07, I finally got enough of about 8 hours sleep and then had to force myself up to prepare for M-fest AGM. I went to Coles to buy those refreshment stuff and to realize that I don't have the strength to carry everything. Then, I called June for help and she came to rescue me!!! Then, more things came up last minute.. the room we booked is the same room we got for MASA AGM when we were supposed to get a formal lecture room. FINALLY, after persuading and checking with formalities, we got the room we wanted and there we go and start M-fest AGM in style.

Normal AGM style, when election came.. as long as there is competition, we would have to choose a suitable candidate. Well, at the end of it, it was all good.. and finally there is more than a girl in the committee!! :P At least I got the position I wanted and thanks to those who question me. I somehow felt more confident this time in front of people in terms of speech and Q & A. Haha.. somehow remind me about a year ago when I ran for M-fest as Finance.. hmm. .at least more people were interested in Finance. Anyway.. hope we the new committee will work well together!! Again, ahha.. working with my favorite partner in crime, Junda.. hehe.. It's all good.. but I really is happy with how MASA is like having so many people running for post and even when they did not get it, I highly regard them as MASA's brave warriors.. Lynn, Edison and Diane.. you guys made a good start by running for something!! Lynn, sorry for making you stressed out to run for Finance.. :P

And then FOOD again.. after M-fest AGM, we went to mamak again and bump into Bryant, Amanda, Nik Arif and James and then later on joined by Daniel, Joshua and Joana.. ayynd add on Diane and gang .. and lastly Jonathan and June. WOAH.. big group .. until when we pay up for our bill.. there is so much to count!!

There u go.. long weekend huh?? haha.. finally now i can rest for a while!!

Walking down the memory lane...

Have you ever thought when you were looking for somethings and ended up discovering some good old days memories???

I was just searching for my old cd files for some old MASA stuff and it was this time that I found some other interesting videos and pics of when I first came to Sydney 3 years ago. 3 years it's not very short yet it's not that long. But still I got a lot of interesting and memorable stories that I don't think I will forget.

Wanna check out some of the videos and pics, check out The Oldies group at Facebook!! haha.. yea meant for the oldies to mesmerize the good old days..

Hairpray in the Air!!


Last night, I finally got to watch 'Hairspray' with Angeline. Gosh, since it was up in the cinemas, I kept hearing how good and all and even checked out some of the videos on youtube.com. I even bought the soundtrack even before watching the musical movie. Conclusion, I love it!! After so many musicals i've been and watched on cinemas or tv, this is another favourite!! I'm so gonna buy the dvd when it's out. Angeline and I even planned on learning somethings in it..hmm maybe another showcase.. haha. I guess after dancing for MGM, the girls are a bit bored and we thought of learning dancing for fun. Will inform you all if we ever dance again!! :P Attached to this blog, my favourite scene from Hairspray!! And.. 60's ROCKS!!

Most Fulfilling Year - 2007!!

IMPORTANT ATTENTION : THIS IS GOING TO BE MY MAIN BLOG!!!

Since I will be darn free in the future, I guess the best way is to start writing back. My blog at MSN Space Live was basically dead since I got busy in the middle of 2007. Well to wrap up since then till NOW, here are the achievements, life stories and experiences of life that will be in the memoirs of Jenny Tan Wei Inn in the year 2007..

As everyone would know that since beginning of the year, how I got myself into so many positions: MASA President, MASCA NSW Secretary and M-FEST 2007 Finance EP. With that, each and every position have its stories.. (well, the stories might not be long!! :P)


As President for MASA, I've done my best, I did what I can and in conclusion, I achieved the MOST!! Having the biggest challenge of leading a whole team of newbies, I was amazed that all of them are so passionate in their duties and their willingness to work together. From then, I always set a target of building MASA to another level, at the end I always tell myself.. if i can, i want to do better than past years. Haha if Edward is reading this, sorry but really it's motivation for me. Well, at the end of it, I have a great year of having so many activities, having all the members participations and at the end, members gave me all the smiling and happy faces. I definitely is lucky to have this group of committee who was with me along the way.. thanks junda, khad, salina, shaun, alia, kay, mo, faizal, lynn, diane, han yuan, syreen and shuli.. you guys are the best.. i think this is like my 3rd time saying in public how wonderful people you all and i will definitely miss everyone.. haha.. yea.. i'm emo-ing but well.. it's like that i guess :P I will be the next Edward.. ahha.. the cannot let go president :P hahahaha..I will definitely keep the BIG PHOTO FRAME with me!! :P

In MASCA NSW, I'm glad I make many friends from the committee to MGM committee and performers.. I concluded that I actually expand my social circle to like 200% especially the Malay friends. What more, we went to Melb and won the cup back.. having my experience in Career Fair.. and most importantly the MGM was a BOMB!!! thanks everyone and I will definitely cherish the friendships I've made.. Thanks Mun, Ming, Mei, Erina, Matt, Yamud, Manfred and Joy.. Most importantly, some of you, I will still be working as a team in MASCA National..

In M-fest 2007, another highest challenge.. getting sponsorship and money for M-fest is NO EASY TASK!! Compare it back to my TBSSC years, getting sponsors are quite easy eventhough need to still persuade them. In Australia, haha.. it's more than that. Being thick-skinned is not enough.. ahaha.. Overall, it was another good weather for M-fest 2007.. overall good.. but still I think I did not do my best? haha.. well.. maybe it's my expectations of myself. Anyway, thanks to JX, Sunny, Jun Hui, Ming, Faisal and Zek.. thanks for tolerating my slow reply and delay jobs.. haha.. and another good year of M-fest experience.

So, see what happen when you have so many things in a year. 3 big Ms in a year. I actually couldn't sleep early even if I wanted cause I got so used to sleeping late doing things. 24 hours was usually used quite well for me and at the end.. NOW.. i got tired, doing nothing :P ahhaha..
