live below the line!

hey peeps!

This May I'm going to be living below the line! for real! now what is living below the line?

From May 16th - 20th I'll be surviving off just $2 a day for all of my food... means no chocs and snacks and all. =s

It's definitely going to be hard, but it's an awesome way for me to raise money and awareness for the 1.4 billion people who have to live like this every day - and who have to make $2 cover a lot more than food!

Please donate to support me, and critical anti-poverty initiatives.

even a few dollar donation goes a long way, and u can remain an anonymous donor as well!

the money donated will go through oaktreefoundation to help people in Papau New Guinea, East Timor and Cambodia with

• Training teachers
• Providing scholarships to the poorest students
• Equipping the schools with resources like books, stationery and desks
• Building school buildings
• Helping young people set up small businesses through micro-loans and training

if you can spend lets say $20 on a normal tee? why can’t you just spend a few bucks to help those in need in these places??

After donating - you should consider joining up and doing it yourself!

skyfire 2011

hey peeps.

yes my blog is super duper uber dead, but i really have had no inspiration to write whatsoever.

so i’ve been here for about one and a half mnths now. starting to get used to everything. even my cooking has improved! =)

anyways, today was a busy saturday! from attending something in the morning to mid afternoon, to studying on my own in the info comms while listening to awesome songs on youtube, to going to watch skyfire with some awesome people!

yes, skyfire! honestly, i have no idea what it is even after going. haha. main reason for going was to watch fireworks. =)

i was experimenting with shutter speeds and all. haha. i uploaded all the pics on facebook nyways. =)

the fireworks were really really good!! they lasted for a good 15-20 mins i think?

then headed over for some pizza and some drinks. and now here i am. haha

<3 from the land down under

i know i haven’t been updating for a really really long time, it’s cause i really have nothing to write about. haha. not true, i’m just lazy to write about it.

so i’ve been here for about a month now, getting used to being here, but missing all the food back home.

so i’m learning to cook. it’s not too successful all the time, but i’m haven’t gotten sick from my cooking so far, so i guess it’s a good sign?

i love shopping for groceries here, it’s so fresh. and i don’t do the conversion to malaysian currency, otherwise i would probably starve and not buy anything. ==

cleaning my room regularly as well, i’m rather OCD about my carpet, i vacuum it like, every weekend? sometimes middle of the week i have the mood i’ll vacuum as well.

met some great friends here, we cook for each other and wake each other up in the morning. or they wake me up. lols.

hmm, what else? joined some clubs here, still undecided about which clubs i prefer. =)

owh, i love my campus. =) it’s so big and nature-loving. and there are so many animals on campus! there are like parrots, family of bunnies, and other big birds. owh, there are swans!

ok, i really don’t know what to write about now, i’ll do a proper update soon with pics and all. =)

xoxo
