~My Life~ Happiness & Joy Vs Sadness & Sorrow

I will survived!

2007-10-25T22:05:00.000+10:00

Finally, updates after like so long... Anyway, I'm determined to create a new blog when I finish my exams and I want to make it a COOL one! =)

Well, little did I realise that I gonna finish my 2nd year of uni tomorrow! (although not exactly, since I stil have 1 more assignment & 3 more exams to go, but stil tomorrow will be last day of class for Semester 2!)

Oh well, I guess time really flies and it waits for nobody.

I just handed in my Australian Political Economy essay in today, the 2nd last piece of assignment that I got for this semester. I done the 1700 words writing in about 18 hours plus some procrastination in between of course (me will always being me!). Oh, and that time included about 2 hours of sleep. The reason being starting so late? Erm...I was busy with other assignments and *guiltily* was playing too much during the Spring Break, and that's why everything is kind of delayed. Also, I fell sick on Tuesday night so only did the readings that night. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed now... I wont be able to see it until next year since I'll be back in Malaysia and it'll posted to my place in Melbourne.

Thinking back, alot of my assignments this semester were finished this way. Stayed awake literally whole night in front of my pathetic laptop, typing, procrastinating, snoozzing... Well, I dont think it's a good thing at all!!! If mum were to know about this, she may be so pissed that she wont talk with me for days... Really hoping to change this bad habit of mine next sem! Really want to finish my assignments ahead and no more last minute rushing then rush for bus and train to go Uni and submit and stuff! But somehow, I just dont have the inspirations when it is long before due, oh well, perhaps that's only my excuses.

*Anyway, would personally like to thank my laptop here. Hehe... Despite calling you pathetic, I still love you very much. You helped me to pull through this sem, almost there, so please stand strong before I bring you home! I stil got 1 more assignment to go and I stil very much need you! Also thank you for co-producing a number of my assignments which me myself am very satisfied because some of their grades are pretty good, like H1...Haha!*

Ignore the paragraph above in case anyone is reading this (which I think there is none).

I really happy today because I got back my Finance assignment and I got 10/10. Also I get to know that my Strategies for Business & Bureaucracy presentation got a H1. So excited la!!! :D But on the other hand, I slept in finance lecture again, I pretty much slept the whole sem... =_="

Anyway, tomorrow last day of 2nd year Uni, 2 more hours of OB lecture to go!

Til then...

In Grief

2007-10-07T22:23:00.001+10:00

I shall dedicate this post to my beloved maternal Grandma who had just pass away few hours ago.

May you rest in peace...

Sorry for not being able to see you for the very last time due to the fact that I was here...

You will always in our memories and I will always remember you for your kindness and love.

You always take the trouble to prepare lotsa food during festive sessions for us. Your Bak Chang, homemade Kaya, Pat Ting Thg, Fried Chicken, Vinegear Pork trotter, etc never fail to taste heavenly. I remember vividly when I was young, I'm always proud of your Kaya & Fried Chicken and tells everyone that they taste the best. That havent change and I shall always remember the taste for it is the taste of your love....

May you escape from all the sufferings you endure when you are alive and attain Nirvana...

I'll always remember you...

Chilly Winter Post

2007-06-17T14:23:00.000+10:00

Here comes Winter!

Last few days was so cold, seriously. In the morning, temparature are merely few degrees and outside is so foggy. I heard that flights had been delay for 3 hours because of the fog. Imagine how serious is it?

Well, I finished my exams at last. But I'm not happy. I didnt do well in the 3 papers, especially QM2 and Business Economy in SEA. Quite worried about the latter now. Everybody are saying the paper is easy, I felt that way too, but I think among the 3 essays we required to write, I wrote crappy stuff for 2 of them. Damn it... Now I just hope that it wont turn out too bad... God bless me!

And laptop problem is driving me mad. Hate it! Now, adding to the problem, the spacebar button is not working well. =_="'

Most of all, I miss home so much... I'm waiting for 'another summer day' to come, so that I can go home. Isnt it pathetic? Talking about summer when winter just started...

Oh ya..yesterday was Father's Day. I ddint realise it until I read it from blogs. Sorry, papa, I dont meant to forgot you k... So, Happy Father's Day! I wonder you can read my blog in the far away land...

Pathetic

2007-06-10T23:19:00.000+10:00

This is pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

My laptop broke down again! And this time is another problem, luckily it's not the saem problem I faced a couple of months ago, or else I'll be even more mad than what I am now.

Ok...on friday morning, I was doing my final revision for QM2 exam, then suddenly, the screen just went blank, black off. I thought the screen savers are kicking in, so I just move my hands on the touch pad but nothing come out, then begins my nightmare!

I google and found that this maybe backlight problem, I dont know what the hell is this but it's gotta do with the laptop monitor. The screen will just went black itself wihout any notice at anytime. =_=''

Today, I connect my laptop to another external monitor and this works! I admit that I'm really glad this work out because in case it's too expensive to repair, I still can use my own laptop instead of the desktop Uncle Christ got here, it's just that I have to connect it to this monitor. Meaning that I only can use it here, in the spare room, because the monitor is here. I cant freaking use my laptop or do my work in my room!

Well, perhaps it's a good thing. I cant lay on my bed lazily n do my work anymore and maybe working here can be less distractive for me. God knows how slack I am!

Btw, I did pretty bad for QM2 exam. Sigh... The questions are quite alright though but I dont know why I couldnt answer them well in the exam. I think I'm not well prepared... Hope it's not too bad... May God bless me!

People in exams, all the best! Best of luck to me as well for the rest of my papers.

Chinese Politics on Wednesday and Business in SEA on Friday. I shall pray that I'll be more focus on studies and no more slacking and lazying for myself. God, please hear my prayers and make me strong enough to stand the temptations!

I miss Malaysia so much...

2007-06-07T16:31:00.000+10:00

Out of the Exam Blues...

I'm in the midst of revising QM2, but suddenly feel the urge to blog about this!

Ahem...Drum Rolls pls!

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdullah Badawi is going to remarry this saturday (9th June 2007). Well, I suppose many people had knew it, the news is out yesterday, I'm late I know...

Actually, I heard about this earlier this year from my uncle, but I seriously thought it was just a rumuors, but then until recently I was talking this with someone (my fren's mum), only I think it might be true since so many people in KL is talking about it.

True enough, when I start reading my daily dosage of blogs yesterday night, every blogger is talking about it and the date is confirmed.

Btw, Pak Lah's new bride is his late wife's sister-in-law,which I think it's kind of weird... I cant really believe this can happen in real life, it's like some plot you can often find in movie, soup dramas, etc, but now it's happening, in Malaysia somemore! There's even plp saying that Pak Lah had been eyeing on Jeanne (the soon-to-be wife of his), even before Endon (his late wife) pass away. Erm...but for me, I think there's perhaps some sort of political agenda involved behind all these.

Anyway, enough of 'bitching' about others. Gotta go back to my revision now. Exam is 2mr 2pm.

Til then. Wish me all the best people!

Semester 1 coming to an end...

2007-05-27T20:44:00.000+10:00

Or should I say Semester 1 had ended???

Well, teaching period is over. The coming week will be a SWOT Vac aka study week. For your information, SWOT=Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat!!! Management 101, people! Then comes exam month...

Phew~~~ Time really flies man... In fact, quite a number of my friends here in Melbourne, to mention few, in no particular order, Glorie, Siew, Hao Ern, Jey Sern, Veronica, Cai Qin, Weng Kiat, etc, these people are graduating next year. Oh My Gosh! For me, there's like another 2 more years to go! But they will be attending graduation then searching/hunting for works or even go in post-grad studies!

Not forgetting, a lot of my buddies in Malaysia are graduating also... It's like all people will be getting a job then earning their own bucks and in contrast, me, still studying, rushing assignments and spending parents money! Cant imagine that seriously!

I think I'm getting away too far... Btw, I really had a good outing on friday night. Went to this Japanese restaurant on Toorak Road, near Chapel Street, to have dinner with some of my Business & Economy in SEA tute mates and their friends. They are all nice people, really enjoyed the food and the chat as well. Then, went back to the city for drinks in Manchestar Lane, a Jazz Bar I supposed, nice music they have, despite it's slightly noisy for chating.

Anyway, gotta go back to reading the materials needed for my IAT essay now. Super lag behind time edi...

Til then.... Jia You for exams everyone!

Trying to get out of the blues...

2007-05-24T23:09:00.000+10:00

LOLz... I somehow decided that I'm not going to think about this anymore. I had tried everything that I can to see whether my marks can be improved, but sadly all in vain. But, I'm relieved, at least I know that really nothing can be done anymore. (I talked to my tutor & called my lecturer k, and yet they didnt do anything. I believed if there is seriously room for my marks to be upgraded, they'll do it, because one of my friend's is upgraded.)

So, life have to go on anyway... Let the bygone be bygone... (I doubt how long will this take?)

Forget about this and pia/chio for final exams! Aza Aza Fighting! Kambateh! Jia You! Teruskan Usaha! Whatever la...

Perhaps this is fated la... Or it's a lesson for me to not be over-confident at times and dont be a last minute 'hero' anymore?

Had been not productive at all since Tuesday and I'm not letting this to continue ruining my life. I must at least start to read the sources for my essays and return the books because people requested them. Argh... But again, I wonder when I'll start?

I'm complicated...

Blues...

2007-05-23T23:17:00.000+10:00

I'm still in the blues now, trying my very best to get over it...

I seriously wanna get over it faster and forget about it, so that I can get my hands on other more important stuff. The fact that I was down and upset, make me so demotivated to do anythings. =_= This is me... Easily destracted and highly emotional... Cant help!

I even begin to doubt whether management is my cup of tea, because I dont seems to do well in it. Argh... I dont know...

I sms-ed mum and ask her to call back because I wanna 'teh' her... Hehe... Children are always children, trying to seek for parents attentions, no matter how old are they... LOLz...

Mum told me not to give myself too much pressures and just try the best that I can. Very glad to hear that from her... I told her that I was so upset over the 'P' grade that I got for my Business & Economy in SEA assignment and she say as long as it's pass, it's okay already. I know she is trying to comfort me so that I dont feel so bad or perhaps she knew that I had this high expectations (which obviously made me feel so bad at this moment!), anyway I'm quite relieved after chating with her despite still feel upset.

Mum is such a great mother. She never want us to get number 1 in class or score 100% for our exams, she always say she'll be happy if we tried our best. She never give us pressure like other parents will do (no offence!!!) and I know she just want us to be healthy and happy. Perhaps, she just hope us to be healthy and now I that I rethink, me as her daughter, never even fulfill such a simple wish of hers, make me feel guilty. =_= Mummy, from now on, I'll keep myself heathly, will go join Fitness First after my exams, and keep fit!

Well, have to stop here, because of me emo-ing all the time, from the moment I got back the assignment til now, whole one and half days, I end up didnt do anything that I supposed to be doing. Not productive at all on the Inventing Asian Traditions essay, not even my tute work for tomorrow.

So, people, pls pray for me that I can get over all these soon and do better for other assessments!

Til then...

The D factor

2007-05-22T22:19:00.000+10:00

Well, in case some of you dont understand what the title means... It means that I'm currently in a state of Depression, Dissapointment, Demotivation, and Down-ness.

I freaking get a P for my assignment. Damn sad la... I have such a high expectation in this Business & Economy in SEA subject and I got a P for the 25% assessment. Damn it!!!

So, the moral of the story, Dan Dan's quote of the day : "The greater the expectation, the greater the dissapointment!". Dont expect too much, so that you wont get hurt/upset so much. [Evidence to back up: some management/marketing theory --> when real result exceeds expectation, people will get satisfactions.]

I never get a P (range from 50-64%) before in my entire Uni life, although it's a short one (1 & half year). I always thought a H3 will be the lowest score I'll get in Uni but now...see what had happen to me!

He (my lecturer, I knew he marked it!) commented that I didnt do adequate amount of research, I was like... What the Fxxk! There's a few of my sources where he considered not primary sources but in fact I think they are! Then in my bibliography, he stated that I only got 2 primary sources which I think it's so not true. I dont know...just speechless..

Of course, there are comments he made that I agreed with, whereby I didnt really relate my stuff back to the question, but do these mistakes cost me a P???

Argh... This is so Destructive man! Make me feel miserable only...

I think I need some kind of help from some Deity... I feel things just dont go smooth recently for me. I got a H3 for my 50% Chinese Politics assessment and then lost one piece of crystal bracelet that I like very much last Tuesday and now a P for the subject which interest me most...

Disaster!!! All the bad lucks or evils or demons, please go away from me! I beg for your kindness!

Sleepyhead In Action

2007-05-20T21:04:00.000+10:00

Literally, I slept the whole weekend sleeping and watching dramas. =_=

I still have one final essay for Inventing Asian Traditions to go, which is due on the 4th, 2 weeks from now, but I yet to start. I started reading the books though but guess what? I fell asleep after reading several pages. I started reading one of the 8 books I borrowed from library on Saturday noon and still yet to finish half of the book by now. =_=

I think I must be suffering from some kind of sleeping disorders because I woke up at like 11am something in the morning and yet I still can fell asleep at about 2-3pm after my lunch. Then I dont feel sleep at night, when it's supposed to be the time to sleep, only feel sleepy at about 4-5am. So of course the second day, I'll wake up at about 10-11am and the pattern continues. So crappy rite??? =_=

Btw, I'm again defeated when it comes to drama series. I had been watching this TVB series called "Land Of Wealth" recently. Talking about banking industry in the Qing dynasty... Erm...I think I cant stand the temptation to watch episode 23 after this... *Evil grins*

Isnt I supposed to be doing the reading for my esssay? Sigh... =_=

Update on my Uni stuff...

2007-05-16T15:01:00.000+10:00

I'm left with two assignments, one is QM2 group assignment due 2mr which is almost done, and another one is Inventing Asian Traditions essay due on 4th June.

My exams are:
8th June --> QM2
13th June --> Chinese Politics & Society
15th June --> Business & Economy in SEA

I really have to work very hard on all these in order to get good marks! QM1 final exam was a disaster and I dont want history to repeat.

I did so badly in my Chinese Politics essay. I got a H3 for the essay which weighed 50% of my overall grade. Fuck rite? I must work extra hard in this subject because I cant afford scoring any lower than H3 in my Uni life, I cant!!!

Business in SEA is my favourite subject in the two years of my uni. Seriously, I like it so much, give me a real taste of what I always expect in commerce subjects. It is so interesting and realistics, unlike those boring Management theories. That's why I must score really well in this subject.

I must not dissapoint myself and I wanna make my family proud of me. I have yet to get a H1, ie high distinction in Uni, I'm hoping to get one this time. So, I'm keeping my finger crossed for my Business in SEA report to be returned on next week. It was such a last minute product but I really put in efforts, hope it'll be fine.

Til then...

Week 11

2007-05-16T14:28:00.000+10:00

Finally, after leaving this blog untouched for so long (about 1 month...), I decided to write something here.

I always know that nothing in this world is predictable or can be forseen. Changes can happen anytime wihout even you aware of it.

True enough! I forgotten what was my last blog entry about, probably was my rant about uni workloads, assignments. Well, well, well, here comes week 11, the next week will be the end of semester 1. Gosh! It was like so fast! I'm still not prepared for exams yet, as always...

Yea... A month ago, I was excited by the idea that mum will be visiting me during the winter break. I already started to plan where to bring her around at that time. But now, something really sad happens... My maternal Grandma is dignosed with colon cancer, 3rd stage. Well, again prove that nothing is predictable, especially health.

My God...cant stop my tears from dropping whenever I came across this topic... I lost my dad when I was 7 years old. He past away because of cancer. I knew from my mum & aunts that dad met a not-so-good doctor and they said this contributed to his dealth. I'm not very sure about the whole story but I knew that the doctor wasnt quick enough to dignose that dad illness is cancer and of course those delays in treatment caused dad his life. Also because the medical development 14 years back, was not as advance as today. Back then, you dont have these huge amount of health supplements you have nowadays as well.

I always wondered if dad were still around today. Will we live a different life today? For one thing I'm sure, he get to witness the important moments of my life and well as Eric's. He can attend my graduations, celebrate my birthdays... But, that just wont happen.

When my 4th aunt was dignosed with cancer 3 years ago and my uncle also in last year, my family were in sime kind of nightmare again. Sometimes, I will question myself, is it because we did something really wrong in our previous life and accumulated such bad karmas until so many people in the family got cancer? I dont know... But I'm so glad that they both survived and are health today. I always pray for all my family members health when I went to pray my dad and I want to ensure that everyone of them are always in good health.

I know mum is very sad now, perhaps helpless too. A woman who went thru the suffering and lost her husband 14 year ago, once again have to face with such bad situation. As her daughter, at a far away land from her, I found myself helpless too. I so wanted her to come Melbourne and visit me because I miss her so much, but then I dont think she'll enjoy the trip due to grandma's illness.

So, the only thing I can do now is keep myself healthy and dont fall sick. Mum is always worried with our health because there's so many people in the family who suffered from cancer, high blood pressure, diabetics etc. As you know, family history is one of the factors to these illness.

I'll pray for my grandma's recovery...

Speechless

2007-04-14T00:50:00.000+10:00

I dont know what to say about myself, it's way too beyond lazy, slack, or whatever.

Perhaps I am so 'tidak apa' til I can spend hours going thru someone's blog and didnt do my essay.

Shit...it's just crappy. I cant believe that I didnt do anything about the essay nor continue watching Dicey Business, instead went on reading a blog for hours.

If I dont start the essay by now, I seriously cant imagine what will happen to me next.

I shall close all the other 'unrelevant' windows and only keep the Words window open. No...I must keep the Words window open from now on!!!

Argh....There's way too many temptations around me...

I only want to start on my essay can? Dont ever come and tempt/seduce/kacau me can? Please... I beg you all...

=_=

无药可救 Uncurable

2007-04-13T22:35:00.000+10:00

Yes. I seriously think myself being 无药可救, meaning uncurable by any remedy in chinese.

Haih... *Sadness*

I guess there's many people out there who would give me a tight slap upon reading this.

Well, I got one Chinese Politics essay due on Monday and I havent started writing a single word!!! Not even the introduction or whatever craps!!!

And it's worth 50% of my final grade!

I kept on slacking, cant help myself from watching Dicey Business (a HK series), surfing the net, and fell asleep.

Aiks... I hope I can awake like right now and start to 'pia'.

I deserve a slap from myself...

Easter Saturday post

2007-04-08T00:22:00.000+10:00

Here goes Easter Saturday, the 2nd day of my Easter break.

I pretty much did nothing except watching dramas and movie for these 2 days.

I didnt go out, just rot at home, but I quite like this kind of rotting. haha... I can wake up at any time I like wihout worrying I might be late or whatever, enjoy man... Btw, did I mention that I woke up at about 2pm today?

So, I finally finished watching Tokyo Juliet, the Taiwan series I had been watching. Not bad la, typical Taiwanese series, nothing much to complain, and I like the theme songs though. Gonna find them on Bai Du later.

Just realised that I had been watching lots of movies these few days. I watch 2 Become 1 yesterday night, very meaningful movie I thought, World Movie channel should show more Hong Kong movies or even Singaporean ones, for my benefits. :P Then, watched Syariana but didnt quite get it, didnt really watch it though, was talking to mum on phone halfway then msn. Then, just now I watched Rob-B-Hood, the DVD i smuggle in from Msia. Nice show! I like it.

Oh...and I went to watch 300 with Glorie in Melbourne Central on Thursday. Hotys cinema rocks! I like their seats and they are so comfortable til I can fell asleep there, maybe I was too tired that day but no doubt their seats are big and comfy. Looking forward to watch Mr Bean... Hope it's on la...

So, 2mr I cant wake up at whatever time I like though. Because I'm going to yum cha with Hisa, John, May, etc. Going to have dim sum at Tai Pan, Doncaster East. I never been there before despite it's quite near from where I stay. Paiseh la...aunt refused to go there because the boss there is bossy wor... Dunno la...2mr try then know lo... But if the food is good, it doesnt really matter though. Haha... So, gonna meet them at Thompson Road bus stop, means that I have to walk from here to Thompson Road. Haih...lazy lazy lazy...

Btw, Amy just shocked me that she is in Melbourne right now. She really geng 1. But I dont think I have chance to meet her this time. Too bad la... I have yum cha appointment already mah...

Til then... Have to tidy up my stuff in my room, they are super messy now.

2 more to go before Easter

2007-04-04T21:15:00.000+10:00

I'm glad that I'm still alive now, survived the sleepless nights, super cold nights, and of cause two assignments that I already submited.

Walao...Today was damn rush k? I hate bus + train timetable after 12pm, because they sucks! Not convenient for me at all. The time sort of not match and I had to wait like 10-20 mins at the train station. So, originally I planned to drop by my stuff at May's place after the QM2 tute (I'm gonna staying over at her place from 2mr night til monday :P), but then I was too rush and dint have time to pack my stuff. I finished my assignment like 15 mins before my bus time. I was like...quickly get changed then went out, I must look miserable that time.

Anyway, was happy that I finally get to call Yin Ci after so long. Didnt call her since I came back Melbourne, was too busy with all the craps la... She delayed her flight til 10 April. Must call her again to talk more because the call got cut out when the train past by some tunnels! And she seriously make me wanna join yoga class. Hehe... Got time kah?

Btw, I apparently went the QM2 tute which Jey Sern was in too. And the tutor is funny. Damn cute la him... He actually wrote the solutions step by step on the whiteboard, even all the figures. And then he actually misinterprete something then a student point out then he blur blur like that, damn cute can?

So, I still got 1 more day of Uni before the Easter Break, and most importantly I got the Business and Economy in SEA presentation 2mr, which I havent type it out, only got something in my mind now; and also QM2 Mid term test, which I think I'll do later. Obviously, I have to study more about QM 1st...

So, everyone jia you for me k?

p/s: 2mr, having movie marathon with Glorie, 300 then Mr Bean. :)))) I wanna relax and dont care about a single thing after 2mr (as if I dont have Chinese Politics essay! Blah...Sien ah...)

When is this going to end?

2007-04-02T23:02:00.000+10:00

I finally finished and submitted the Inventing Asian Traditions essay. I was 'struggling' with it throughtout the weekend and I didnt slept at all on Sunday night. OMG! Damn tired now...

Thank God that I managed to finish everything of that assignment at about 8.45asm this morning. Really rush...somemore I got to go for a group discussion on Business & Economy in SEA class presentation at 11am. Walao! As soon as I finished, I rushed to bath, sometimes I really 'admire' myself on the fact that I such a 'last-minute' person.

I was more or less a walking zombie at Uni today. There's time when I feel like I dont know what myself is doing, dizzy, aimless... Damn blur... I forgotten where to submit the essay, only remembered that the department is in John Medley, so I went the wrong floor at first, then managed to go the right one, but then feel uneasy because I never handed in assignments at that place before. I decided to ask someone else who was there, whether is it the right place and stuff with my freezed brain, that girl must thought I'm dumb or something. Then, I cant get the automatic stapler work, probably my brain is not working well after a whole night of staying up, then embarassingly I told the guy behind me that "I cant get it work!", the he thought it was spoilt then....very paiseh la because it works!

And I slept throughout the whole QM2 lecture!!! OMG! I supposed I fell asleep when he went on the 2nd page of the lecture notes, but really cant remember. Thanks Cai Qin btw! She helped me to copy some of the notes. :p I was too tired, seriously...

After the lecture ends, I went to BigW and buy mints. Hehe...They are cheaper there by 20 cents. :) Then, the Japan Factory Outlet which is closing down soon, bought 2 files, 1 pen holder, 1 memo clip+magnetic clip, 1 photo frame/small holder, and 1 key chain. All of them costed me less than $10 after the 70% discount. *Excited* Then, went Laguna to stock up my snacks. I discovered this really nice Korean snack recently and they are cheap, only 60 cent per box.

OK, enough for now, my brain still not back to formal functioning yet! I think those stuff I wrote above must be bad. Meanwhile, I got QM 2 Midterm Online test, Business & Economy in SEA assignment 1 + class presentation on for the rest of the week before I can take a small break. Must go play during Easter Break! Shopping! Eating! Whatever... Hehe.... (As if I dont have to do the Chinese Politics essay which weigh 50% for my overall grade!)

P/s: My face look ugly now, dont know how 2 describe it but to me it's quite bad. I think it's because of the hot+cold weather and limited amount of sleeps/late sleeps. Haih...

Stress...very very stress

2007-03-31T18:27:00.000+10:00

I dont know how describe my situation now. In some deep shit I supposed. I got 1 assignment of 1500 words which due on Monday and I havent written 1 single word. The most important thing is I got no idea how to do it. Haih...

There's one point where I feel like dissapear from this world and hence I dont have anything to do with assignments or tests or exams or whatever crap that Uni have to torture students like me. I also feel like give up and let myself fail, but I just cant do it. I cant afford to do that. I tell myself I must finish it no matter how. I hope I can....

That day, K mak called and she mentioned about me going to find a part time job again. Then I told her I'm too busy with uni work load and she just cant understand my situation. Haih... She said many people asked her why didnt I work. I was like who are those busy body/'pat gong'/'pat poh' to ask me that question. Even my mum didnt ask me to do so... Pls la people... That's none of your business, ok? Dont bother about people's children working part time or not because that's seriously nothing to do with you! It's not that if I go find a part time job, you will get my pay. As if you can be benefited from anything if I work. Very pissed off!

I also feel like feeding myself instead of getting money from my parents but I just dont think I'm capable of that at this point of my life. I kind of cant cope with my Uni stuff already, how to go work part time??? Dont compare other people with me! I'm myself, nothing to do with others. Other people can work part time during their uni years has nothing to do with me. I also wonder why they can do so, because I just feel I'm too busy, stuffed up with work at times when I dont even have enough rest or sleep. Or perhaps Melb Uni got extra work? I just dont know but people pls dont force me!

Enough of ranting for now. I hope God exist to give me some insprirations for my essay!

Til then...

Slacking

2007-03-24T22:12:00.000+11:00

I have to admit that I'm a very lazy person. I have so many of assignments and they are due in like 1-3 weeks time, and yet I'm still slacking here.

I didnt do much thing today, wake up at about 11am something I think, then watch a little bit of Happy Feet and The Myth. Then just chill in my room for no purpose til like noon time. Read the question for QM2 assignment then fell asleep. Then watch HK series + the 1st episode of another Taiwan series, then cook and eat my dinner, and now I'm blogging after surfing thru all the blogs that I read.

I dont know like when I'm going to start on my QM2 assignment seriously... Also I feel like watching the Taiwan series now.

I'm such a lazy person, had been slacking since Uni restart and now with this many of assignments, I'm still slacking.

Sigh.... Sad right???

Stress on Stress

2007-03-22T22:37:00.000+11:00

I'm super stress can?

I just realise the fact that I got a QM2 online MCQ test on 2-4th April, and my Business & economy in SEA class presentation is on the 5th April. This pretty much sum up that I'll be super busy from 29th March til 12th April. All the assessments are due during this period. Damn la....

I seriously wanna give those people who say Uni life is easy bla bla bla, a tight slap. Uni life is super busy + demanding lo.... I feel very very stress because of all the assignments & assessments.

I'm now stuck in a room which have no exit, I wanna escape from all these craps!!!

Super stress

2007-03-21T00:17:00.000+11:00

I resolved my laptop problem after sending it to the shop. It cost me $290, I know it's expensive if compared to what they'll charge in Malaysia, but I got no choice except to pay. Sad la...

Apparently, my hard disk spoilt, so I changed a new 40gb hard drive and purchased one programme called One Care, something that include anti virus, anti spyware, firewall, etc. Well, well, well, it's considered sunk cost by now, so as a rational decision maker I am, I decided not to talk about it anymore. Hopefully I wont...

Btw, I feel like pengsan now. I got like 4 assignments on my hand right now, one for each subject. And they due like real soon, 29 March, 2 April, 4 April & 12 April, and the point is I havent started any of them yet. I can already feel the stress when my Business & economy in SEA lecturer showed the slide about assignment one this morning. Seriously, I didnt expect it to due so soon, probably I slack too much since Uni restart. Haih...

I feel like watching drama now although I should instead start on my pile high assignments. It's just me la...

So, til then.

Helpless

2007-03-18T23:40:00.000+11:00

I felt extremly helpless at this moment... My laptop broke down, I reckon the problem is severe because it cannot be restart at all.

Something that I'm very afraid of finally happened at some very wrong time. I got assignments due like real soon, QM2 assignment due on 29 March, ie like in 1 week plus time, Inventing Asian Traditions essay due on 2 April, and Chinese Politics essay due on 12 April. I freak out when all these dates appeared in my mind, seriously. I'm scared that I cant finish all these on time because of the laptop issue and everytime I think of the problem, I cant control myself but cry.

I know you may say me being such dependent, weak or whatever, but I just feel the helpless inside me. I'm very down now, I got no idea what to do in this "strange land, I dont know how to solve the problem, I dont know which computer shop should I trust and send my laptop to, I'm very frightened of not getting all my files in my laptop recovered, I'm also scared of my portable disk drive might got problem too, and the list goes on... I'm very afraid of all these and the fact that they may be true.

I still a shoulder for me to cry on now. How I wish my dad is still around, but it's just a wish, no matter how hard I wish, it may not come true. Why? Why it's me? I just dont understand... Sometimes when my friends mentioned that their dad dont allow this and that, I'll feel a bit uneasy, that's a kind of feeling that words cant describe... I want my dad to make decisions for me, to help me on everything that I cant solve, to scold me, to nag me or anything. But I just cant get that as he is gone.

I never express to others such feelings of mine before. I know inside me, I'm an introvert. I dont know if anyone were to read this, but I just feel very helpless now.

God if you exist, please give me some directions, guidance, please...

Today is Chap Goh Mei.

2007-03-04T19:30:00.000+11:00

So, here comes the last day of CNY. I didnt realise it since Melbourne reminds me nothing of CNY.

I am now unpacking my luggage, after one week I came back. I realised that I got a lot of stuff, and i couldnt fit them all nicely. My room is like shit right now, very messy with all my stuff all over the place. I actually took the stuff out of the small wardrobe I had here, so to rearrange them. I am so sick of small wardrobes and I think all girls should deserve having a walk-in-wardrobe. I promise myself that I'll get myself one when I buy my own house. Currently, have to figure out how to fit all my stuff neatly. I am very pissed off of people saying me untidy, I am not that bad ok?

Stayed over at May's place for the past two days. Friday night, had a good dinner with Hisa, May, John & Zhong Yong at Ye Shanghai. A bit expensive but I think it's all worthdid with the yummy Peking Duck. Later May and I went to join Joyce, Cydni, Adrian and Jerome for karaoke, which turned out to be a wrong choice initially. Hollywood Karaoke sucks, so damn hot with no air-con, limited song choice somemore, people in Melbourne, please dont go there! Damn expensive considering the services we got, $30 per person, I sort of regret going.

The next day, May got her apartment's furnitures delivered iin early morning. Buddy quite cham la, sleep in her apartment wihout bed for like 1 month. But then, the furnitures are not assembled like what they expected. And end up, she got me, Zhong Yong, John, Hisa, Yu Suk, and Jerome helping her and her sis out to assemble. So damn hard to assemble her study table I tell you, but it's very nice though. :P

Enough for blogging right now and I should really restart to tidying up my room for this moment.

Til then... Happy Chap Goh Mei/Chinese Valentines everyone...

Back In Melbourne.

2007-02-25T22:56:00.000+11:00

Here I am, in Melbourne, a place which I love so much and yet hate so much.

I actually arrived Melbourne yesterday night, but was busy unpacking my stuff (fine, I admit that I didnt really unpack the things but ended up cleaning my drawer here which is filled with receipts!), so didnt have time to blog... LOL~~~

My aunt had a dinner to attend, thus I have to catch a taxi home. It cost me $46.90!!! Very 'sam tung' but what to do? I so miss my beloved country where things are so cheap and I can spend like mad using RM and I seriously hate AUD, seriously...

Btw the flight was a bit bad as always. I dislike long distance flight, especially in economy class! VIP express buses provide better journey instead with the large space. The spaces in the plane are so limited and the damn guy sitting in front of me was reclining his seat as if he owns the plane!!! Pls be more considerate la plp... And I think airliners should consider to adjust the maximum limit that a seat in economy class can recline! I was so uncomfortable during the whole journey with him reclining his seat to the max all the time except during meal time when he was required to put the seat upright.

I watch like 2 and 1/2 movies, didnt managed to finish Dreamgirls, which is the best movie among those that I watched. Casino Royale was a bit boring for me, dont know why, I just dont have the satisfaction after watching it. The Banquet was typical Chinese movie designed to win awards. Pls forgive me for being skeptical but this is what I think la, it's not my cup of tea. I suppose I had some kind of bad luck recently when it comes to movie. During CNY, we watched The Epic Movie, Norbit & Eragon which others commented are nice, but I just dont feel the same way as they did, neither Eric, Dan Qin and Yu-Yang did. So dissapointed I tell you...

One more thing, I think MAS had improved on their food. The Nasi Lemak with Spicy Squid was not bad to my standard. I chossen Nasi Lemak over Omelette as I think Nasi Lemak is more expensive in Melbourne and I have little chance to eat it. :p I am kiasu!!! But not a bad choice after all...

Today, went yumcha with May, Hisa, John, Qi Lun, Zhong Yong & Yu Sak in Shark Fin House. Somehow or rather I still prefer the dimsum in Ming Court, Ipoh, the Har Kau & Siu Mai in Ming Court are definitely better. Anyway, they have the best pau ever, Lau Sau Pau, which is sweet bun filled with egg york, butter, and sugar. So nice le... I dont think can find that in Malaysia.

Then, went to Hisa house and chill til dinner time. Had our dinner at the new Dessert House along Swanston Street. The House Special Pork Chop was not bad and I think it actually taste weird, probably it a bit too sweet for me.

One more thing I wanna rant about is Melbourne Uni server, so shit k. I cant log in SIS the whole day and I wanna change my timetable. It is so not to my liking. I had 1 hour each on Monday and Friday, 4 hours in Tuesday, and 5 hours in Thursday. So uneven la the time... I wanna shift some to Monday or Friday, but cannot because majority of my classes are on Tues and Thurs. Whose fault???

Uni starting tommorow and I am so not used to it yet. I miss home so much and I wish I can go back Malaysia at any time I like to...

Valentine's Blues

2007-02-15T03:18:00.000+11:00

I got so so many things that I wanna blog about but dont know which one to start on, so I decided that I should blog about my Valentine's Day 1st.

Dont get me wrong! I got no dates and just stayed home the whole day, chilling alone. Brother went out for his date and there's nobody around to irritate/kacau me.

I wanna get rid of the tuna which had sitted in the fridge for more than 1 week, so we made tuna sandwich for breakfast. Eric wanna have Mushroom Soup too, so being a good sister I am, I went on cook it, end up I cooked out one miserable pot of mushroom soup despite it is so easy to prepare (I'm using campbell can soup k...)

Mushroom soup never tasted so bad before, thanks to HL milk. I never knew that HL milk is so bad until it spoilt my pot of soup. In case you guys are wondering out there, what is to do with Campbell soup & HL milk, well I used milk to cook mushroom soup. My previous attempt to cook mushroom soup with milk, turned out quite good, even Eric commented that they are good. But this time, I'll blamed it on HL milk, its milky smell is so strong that it made the soup undrinkable. Seriously, Eric, Mummy and me thinks that, even my kakak, ie my house domestic helper said it's bad.

Damn la...wasted my effort & the can of Campbell soup & the money for the Campbell soup, gas, water, dishwash and whatever... And now I dont know what to do with the HL milk left in the fridge, I dont drink milk, and there's no much people in my home that drink either. At first I planned to use it for my butter cake, but now I scare that it might spoilt the cake. Haih...so the lesson behind this story is never substitute brands because of the pricing. I bought HL milk instead of the Australian one, because it's way cheaper but now I regret.

Luckily, the instant noodlee I bought from Betong saved my day. I'm not sure whether it's tom yam or other flavour as it dont really tasted like tom yam. Nevertheless, its spicy soup added so much omph man... Maybe I'll blog about it one time, maybe...

Yup... Mummy kept on nagging me on things like tidying up my stuff, packing my lugages, etc etc... Very fan la...

I feel like stopping the time now, really, wonder why time past so fast wihout me realising...

MIA

2007-01-29T04:09:00.000+11:00

Sorry for the lack of updates due to several reasons.

1. I'm too lazy.

2. I had some commitments, ie to help my aunt on one of her 'newly' set-up company website and also on a project paper. She asked me to do it since I came back from Melbourne and yet I havent finish it now. I'm like half way thru the website thingy now and yet to start on the project paper. Gosh...It's like end of January now and I'm going back to Melbourne soon! Gotta get rid of them asap, or else I dont know what'll happen on me la...

3. Nothing special happen recently. My friends had started on their new semester and none of them are in Ipoh for the moment, except Yin Ci. One more thing is that I dont have my car with me, so it's kinda difficult to go out whenever I like. What to do? Mum's car is in the workshop and wont be ready in any time soon. Haih...

Well, gotta work out on my commitments now. Til then...

New Year Eve Gathering

2007-01-09T18:44:00.000+11:00

Oh My... I found this post uncompleted and had been sitting in my draft folder for such a long time.

Again, long overdued...

We decided to have this small potluck at my place on New Year Eve at first, but then end up no body prepare any food. Just come my place and cook. *Slap forehead*

So, for those who turn up, Hor Yue, Shih Ling, Shin Jie, Yin Ci, and of couse myself, we 'cook' ourselve a meal. Okay, we didnt cook in the sense of cook. We just 'cook' up some prepared food, like frozen pizza. Yin Ci and Jie both prepare the spagetti while Hoey and Shih Ling prepare the sandwiches. I planned to impress them with Grill Teriyaki Chicken but all my "weight conscious" buddies commented that there's already a lot of food so I didnt grill the chicken wings that I already marinated earlier. Btw, I made some nice Konyaku Jelly that they love so much and 'sapu' them into their stomach very quickily. :D

Here's our table full of food.

The four beauties posing happily with the food :p

In my room, cam-whoring

Shin Jie and Yin Ci stayed over at my place while the rest went home. We didnt countdown for new year and i forgotten what we have done. Probably just chill in my room.

Finally, get rid of this post. And I learned a phrase which I like it very much from a astro ad today.

"Celebration comes and goes, but memories last for a life time."

Xmas Eve Dinner

2007-01-09T17:53:00.000+11:00

This is so long overdued...

Well, my uncle, aunt, Dan Qin & Yu-Yang were back in Ipoh for Xmas. We went for Ming Court Dim Sum in the morning. Sorry, no pictures for that, were too busy eating. :p

In the noon, Dan Qin and me and Shin Jie went to Kinta City to do some shopping. I think investor should seriously consider of opening a new shopping complex in Ipoh. Kinta City are so packed + crowded during holidays/festive seasons. Spent a long time in finding a parking space ah...

I brought a fleece jacket from Samuel & Kevin, kinda cheap after the 60% discount. It's a reversible jacket, one side is Maroon colour where the other side is army pattern, Eric commented it's not nice though...

So, let's get into the gist of this entry. We went Tanjung Tualang for dinner. This place is famous for its seafood or shall I say riverfood??? If u visit this place, the river prawn is a must-try, and also the fresh river fish like Nam Kor, it's cheaper here than other restaurants.

I shall let the dishes we ordered that night to tempt u people... Haha...

First, is the Steam River Prawns. This dish remain the original freshness + sweetness of the prawns. The dash of Chinese Wine help to bring out the taste of prawns even better. Yummy!

Secondly, Steam Bak Shu Kong, a kind of river fish, I think it's one of the cat fish family, but not so sure. I like this fish lots. It's fresh plus the sauce used is just nice, not too salty. Steam fish is actually a very hard dishes to prepare, not many restaurants can steam a fish nicely.

Thirdly, is the Fried River Prawns, my all time favourite. I was too excited to see this dish and cant wait to eat it, only realising half way thru that I forgot to take a photo of this. And one more tips for u guys, order a bowl of white rice to add into the sauce after u finish the prawns, it's heavenly delicious. Just forget about your cholestrol level and blood pressure for one moment. :P

Then, it's the chef recommended Taufu. It's more towards Thai style, with sweet & spicy sauce topping the fried cube taufu with some salad. Very appetising too.

I was too happy eating and forgotten to take photo of a few other dishes that we ordered. :D Other dishes that we ordered are Green Vege, Sweet & Sour Crab, and the famous fried rice. The crab is definitely recommended, we even brought over our own bread to dip the sauce, k? Erm...the fried rice used to be very nice and it's a must ordered for every table, but dont know what went wrong that night, it's overcooked, one of the dissapointment la...

The bill came up to be RM250++, I forgotten the exact price, so I would say the pricing is very reasonable for a meal like this, dont think can find any other restaurant that offer this price in KL/PJ. We had 3 kg of river prawns, crab and fish le... I dare not say it's cheap la, but definetely not expensive.

The restaurant is Lian Fong Restaurant in Tanjung Tualang. About 30 mins drive from Ipoh, worth going for the quality of the food.

Penang Trip Part 2

2007-01-08T03:22:00.000+11:00

Well, I reckon it's time for me to clear off some long overdue posts...

Here comes the 2nd day in Penang...

Woke up quite early, meet up with Siao Gu & Uncle Richard for breakfast at Song River, just beside our hotel. Yea, they spent us the breakfast, thanks again! This place is famous for its Bat Kut Teh and some other dishes. One thing I dont understand about Penangnites, they have Steam Fish, Fried Teo Chew Beancurd, etc, heavy stuff people normally had for their lunch or dinner as their breakfast. Quite weird lo... But one thing I cannot deny is the tastiness of the food and it's pretty expensive for a breakfast!

After breakfast, we cam-whoring along the beach, just opposite of our hotel. We didnt manage to go to real beach, as in those you can build sand castle on, this time. Lack of time la... Our schedule are pretty packed. LOLZ~~~

I took this photo of old man fishing, kinda artistic huh?

The girls... (I only discovered this photo when I scroll thru Steve's camera, kinda special...)

The guys...

Then, we were off to Kek Lok Si, the usual place that tourists will visit in Penang. We were no exception. It is remarkable that Alfeus spent a long time when parking the car. I dont know how long was it exactly, but I can tell you that the two guys that help us, as in giving us guide when parking the car were quite frustrated. One of the guys even sarcastically congrats us for successfully parking the car. I must say that the space is small for a relatively huge car like CRV, moreover there were cars everywhere, made the situation worst. And the guys 'hentam' us RM5 for the parking, we got no choice but to pay.

I had been to Penang countless time since a very young age. My family told me that I was only few months old when I first visited Penang. And I'm not willing to left! Erm...they said my little head kept staying outside of the car and was unwilling to go into the car. Haha!!! We used to go Penang at least once a year and our schedule were packed with eating, eating, and more eating. Penang is well known for its food, ok? I think this is my very first time going up to the Pagoda of Kek Lok Si, unless I had been there when I was really really young. Really enjoy it, especially with the company I had. And they had this new Guan Yin/Goddess Of Mercy statue, which is worth visiting in my opinion.

I shall let the photos illustrate it...

I like this pic ah...

The front view of the Pagoda...

Taken on the Pagoda, forgotten which floor... We went all the way up to the top floor and snap a photo with all of us inside there, but it's with Kwee Zhi.

The Guan Yin Statue (it's very nice in reality, my photography skills needs to be improve!)

The tiger babies~~~ Thanks to the cow baby who help us to take this photo :D

The group pic at the bottom of Goddess Of Mercy Statue...

We spent hours at this place, end up dont have time to visit Bukit Bendera. Also we wanna go to Red Box, if not can go up the hill, but sing k is relatively more important to us la... Hehe... So after coming down from Kek Lok Si, all of us were hungry and opt to have the famous Assam Laksa. Unfortunately, the Laksa that I normally ordered, ie not the famous one, was closed. The famous stall that was recommended by tourists info is not that nice lo... That's what I feel la... The one inside the market, opposite the famous stall, is better still, and the stall owner is a mute. Next time, if you happen to go there, have a try on his Laksa.

After eating, we rushed to Gurney Plaza, because we booked the room earlier and dont wanna miss it. We sang for 3 hours 45 minutes, the people there forgot to 'cut' so we gotta sing longer. :)

Then, dinner at Gurney Drive, eating almost all the hawker foods we can find there. Yummy! We had Popiah, Pie Tee, Rojak, Bbq Dried Squid, Bbq Taufu, Fried Mee Shua, Muah Chee(My all time favourite!), Apong, Char Keow Teow, Oyster Omelette... Ate to the content of our heart obviously... We were afraid that it might rain while we were eating because there was once when we decided to go and get some more food, it suddenly started to rain. Everybody there got panic and tried to move away, but then it stops. Luckily, we get to finish all of our food.

Back to hotel, chit chat a while before call it for a day.

The next day, we were checking out, shall I say this is the day of disaster? First, I wanted to bring them to Burma Road for breakfast and none shops were open, then decided to go Pulau Tikus, but the place I wanna bring them to, also closed. End up eating at one kopitiam along the shoplots where Baskin Robin is, dont know the road name la. The food not bad la... Then go back to the hotel, wanna check out because it's almost time. Later, went to Him Heang, thinking of buying the famous biscuits, but sold out. Then, wanna lunch at Chang Kee, Nibong Tebal for its Crab Porridge. First, we got to the wrong way, then when we were at the correct place, it was closed. Bad Luck le...

End up, we stop by Taiping for makan. My friends dont seems to like the food a lot, but luckily they like the drinks, save the day a bit. What happen later was a total nightmare la... Alfeus not feeling well at first, then Khai Yinn, Steve, Shawn. The four of them vomit and diarrhea the whole night, only Kwee Zhi and myself safe. They suspected the food in Taiping caused them food poisoning, but I had been eating the food there for a long long time and I'm pretty sure about the cleanliness there, dont know la, perhaps it differs depends on peoples' body.

I'm glad that all of them got home safely regardless of feeling unwell. I feel sorry for them too, for not being a good host. Dont have the chance to bring them to Dim Sum because none of them got appetite, made me feel regret lo...

People, come to Ipoh again this year, and I promise to belanja you all Ming Court Dim Sum, and hopefully be a better host.

That's all for this trip. Thanks to Alfeus, Khai Yinn, Kwee Zhi, Shawn & Steve for being such a good company. Hope we got to meet up again and go for another trip.

Penang Trip 2006

2007-01-05T05:26:00.000+11:00

*Please be patient with the length!!!

This is super outdated, I know, but I'll still blog about it given its importance & significance to me. Well, I'm a bit exaggerate sometimes, I know!

So, to start with, this is a trip of mine with my Taylor's friends. On the 18th Dec 2006, Alfeus, Khai Yinn, Shawn & Steve came down from Seremban to Ipoh. Kwee Zhi was here a day earlier than them, so I met up with her earlier and went to fetch them from Medan Gopeng driving a 'problematic' Wira. Seriously, I found it so difficult to drive the car! Despite the fact that I try my very best to step hard on the accelerator, the speed just wont go up. I was like... Of course, I was criticised by the gang for my driving skill. I blame on the car but they just dont listen to me ah!!!

Brought them to Sam Poh Tong straight after picking them from the bus station, but sadly we cant go inside. It was closed! Well, I never knew that they operate like office hours. Haih...

Then, I brought them to Lao Wong for the famous Beansprout Chicken. Kwee Zhi commented that Onn Kee is better though... After that, we went home, they stayed at my place because I wanna help them to save money. Initially, I wanna book the hotel accomodation for them as my house is a bit crowded, somemore that particular day Siao Gu came. I must thank mum & brother here, for them willing to let me use their room. Love u all!

Later, we went to the Dragon Fruit Farm to see the cactus-plant-flower (erm...I dunno how to name this, it's flower of the Dragon Fruit). Yea, at night, we visited the farm which got no lighting, just to see the flowers. Have to bring along torchlights and also keep the cars front lights on, because there's no lighting at the farm. God knows how efficient TNB is!!?? But I must say that this is an eye-opener for me. The flower is magnificient and I shall dedicate a entry for this flower alone in time to come. We got a group photo here but I dont have it with me, gotta ask from Uncle Foo, will update it when I got the pic.

The next day, 19th Dec is the day, we are going to Penang. First, I brought them to Thean Chun aka The House Of Mirrors in Old Town for breakfast. I ordered lots of food for them to try, but the coffee is a total disapointment. The White Coffee here sucks and please go Nam Heong for their Ice Coffee. Dont have the chance to bring my friends there which made me feel a bit regret! But at least they get to try the famous Sar Hor Fun, Chee Cheong Fun, Popiah + Satay. Super full by then....

Then, off to Penang. I drove, my first time driving to Penang wihout having any family members beside me! Woohoo! Erm...I was criticised though for driving at 60km/h at some areas (slope areas of course! what to expect when you have 6 people in a CRV???) But praise me for my skills please! Because I didnt miss any roads and safely drove u all to the hotel.

Checked in at Evergreen Laurel Hotel, then off to satisfy our stomach. Went to Penang Road for Cendol, Char Kaoy Teow + Laksa. Didnt made ourselve missing in Penang as well. But this time Alfeus was driving. The guy was super frustrated by the traffic in Penang with motorists driving recklessly. As we finished our meal, we walked around the area and took photos.

Taken from the bridge, Penang Road.

KOMTAR, once the tallest??? by Alfeus

After some random walk, we went to Tanjung Marina City, which I never been to. Discovered this place from 5xMom blog and found the way to from the map we got from the hotel. This is kinda a newly developed tourist spot. I shall let the photos to talk the story.

Actually, some sorts of drama happened during our stay at this place, but I'll not reveal it. It will remain as a secret among the six of us...

We reluctantly left Tanjung Marina City after tonnes of photo and went back to the hotel.

Dinner at this place near Ayer Itam, called Long Bu-a. Uncle Richard spent us the dinner, which was super delicious. Thanks lots! I still remember the tasty seafood there, typically the Kam Heong Cat Fish. It was so nice!!! I wanna go there again ah....

Then, went to Bukit Bendera, not up the hill la... Just at the bottom lo... It's already late in the night, closed obviously...

After that, went to Siao Gu's condo at Batu Ferringgi, stayed there quite long, left at about 12am I think. As we went back to the hotel, we stopped by Gurney Drive to get some food for supper and also a convenient shop to get some drinks.

So, that's pretty much all the 1st day of our trip.

Stay tune for part 2...

Loaded

2006-12-27T04:50:00.000+11:00

Sorry for the lack of updates! I'm basically loaded with tonnes of things...

1. I got lots of entries to blog about, eg. Dragon Fruit, trip to Penang, Xmas Eve dinner, etc. But call me lazy if u like, I cant blog about them yet.

2. I have to tidy up my bedroom + study room + my stuff all over in the house. My bedroom & study room are in total mess and mum continuosly bragging me to tidy up. I still have my secondary school stuff lying in some corner of my living area upstairs + A-Levels stuff outside my bedroom, which are nightmares. I dont even know where to start!!!

3. I promised my K Ma that I will help her in the setting up of a website of her company and I havent started on anything. Sienz....

4. I wanna get back my final essay of Chinese Studies but I dont know how to. I forgotten to attach a self-stamped envelope when I submit the essay (if u guys follow my blog, it was a total disaster how I managed to submit it on time!)

5. I havent settle my flight back to Melbourne yet. Have to go to the agency and pay!

Well, the list goes on...

Santa Claus is coming to town

2006-12-17T03:34:00.000+11:00

Well, once again, I cant stress enough how fast time flies! It's already mid-December now and next Sunday will be Xmas eve. Then, a brand new year is awaiting us as we welcome 2007 and bid farewell to 2006. OMG! How fast is this???

I'm spending Xmas home this year. I think it had been a few years that we celebrate Xmas at home instead of going KL or Penang to celebrate it. The year when Tsunami strikes, we are actually planning to spend Xmas in Penang, but anyhow we didnt. I forgotten why we changed our plan and went home earlier than planned. If not, we will be in penang on that historical day... Since then, we spent Xmas home, here in Ipoh.

I remember there's one year Xmas eve where everyone at home slept, except me, my brother and my cousins who are still awake. So, the four of us welcomed Xmas by drinking Sparkling Juice and some chips I think. Later, out of the blues, dont know who suggested that we should have some wine. Hence, we four went downstairs to search for wines, played some music and started to sip the red wine I found.

While we are enjoying in our own world, Ah Chim woke up and nag Yu Yang to bed. Haha... Poor Yu Yang had to listen to his mum and cant join us... It's kind of fun and was one of the most memorable Xmas I had, even better than those we spent at 5 stars hotels like Penang Mutiara, JW Marriot, Mandrin Oriental, etc. (we used to be 'stupid' and chosse to go Penang/KL during peak seasons like New Year, Xmas where by hotels are extremly expensive + unreasonable!)

This simply prove that Home is always the best place to be...

Home Sweet Home~~~

3 weeks ++

2006-12-12T05:41:00.000+11:00

I cant believe my eyes...

I had been back home for 3 weeks and 2 days wihout I realise...

Time really flies...

What had I done so far??? Went out with friends; drive my brother around; shopping; eating; sleeping; watching tv; etc. Actually I spent pretty much of time rotting at home, finally realised that rotting is not that bad though, at least I have nothing much to worry about except for my Penang trip with my Taylors gang next week. I'm still waiting for the confirmation from Leisure Holiday, hopefully I can get the apartment, if not I gotta book other hotels. Also I dont know how to travel to Penang. By car? My Getz cant accomodate so many people la... By public transport ie bus? Damn 'mah fan' + inconcenient to move around in Penang... As u guys know, how good Malaysian public transport system is??? If I were in Australia, I wouldnt be worrying about this problem at all. Haih...

Well, I gotta sleep cause it's nearly 3am now. If my mum happen to wake up, she'll kill me to dealth for staying up till so late. Til then...

Just my luck?

2006-12-10T02:54:00.000+11:00

Actually, this incident happened yesterday, but I dont have time to blog about it till now. Kinda outdated...

Well, I met with an car acident again, yes again. I think this is the N-th time I met with car accident.

I was driving Shih Ling home and on this road which I dont know the name. It's on the way to Taman Cempaka anyway. There are 3 lanes but a bot crowded though as construction/road expansion is in action. I was on the most left lane and suddenly came this car from the middle lane wanna cut into my lane. WTF!!?? There wasnt any room for him ok? The car was very near to mine and my judgement tell me that he may knock me. So my instant reaction was to move away from him, hence I turn my sterling a bit towards the left. Then came my nightmare. We heard this loud bang and got the shock of our lives. I dont know what I knocked on, even till now, probably is the road divider, I dont really know. I knew something went wrong straight away, the car started to shake and this was hard to control.

To cut short, my front left tyre spoilt, total damage! OMG! Obviously, the whole trye need to be replaced, cant repair. Haih... Moreover, I can hardly change the spoilt one and replace it with the temporary one. Luckily, Shih Ling's mum brought the mechanic from a tyre shop and done it for me. If not, die la... Somemore, I gotta attend the PSWO concert later. Must thank both of them with helping me with this la...

And to my surpise, the rim also spoilt a bit when I took the car to the tyre shop today. I was like... Luckily, it can be repair. Tyre rim damn expensive ok? Btw the car is not fix yet, will be ready on Monday afternoon wor... That means I still have to drive the car at 50km/h on highway! No choice, the temporary tyre is a mini one, so the maximum speed is 80km/h. I cant afford to cut any cars on the highway, even lorry. Can you imagine how frustrated am I???

So if you guys happen to see this green Getz moving at a slow speed these two days, please bear with it! Plese try not to hon too much!

Relief?

2006-12-08T05:20:00.000+11:00

I got my results.

I was just trying my luck when I enter my student ID and pin on SIS. I never thought of getting to know my results now. Just cant believe my eyes when I saw it visible...

Should I feel relief or what???

I got 3 H2B and 1 H3, compared to last semester I got 1 H2A, 1H2B and 2 H3. So can anyone tell me how I performed? I dont know how to describe it, seriously... Improved? Declined? I dont know...

The results are not just results, but some sort of indicator for me. It made me even more doubtful on some aspects of my life. I wondered my decisions + choices, whether they are the right path for me or not they?

I admit that I'm sometimes over-confident + ego about myself. I always thought that I know what I really want in my life, but in fact I dont. I always believed that I'm good at something/ some field, but in reality I'm not. But still, I chosse to think + believe in that way. How sad???

I always thought that I'm interested in management, instead of areas like accounting, economics and etc, and hence may do better in that field. But I'm getting a bit bored about management earlier on. And now my MPO result seems to ask me to reconsider my future undertakings.

I got H3 for MPO. A bit dissapointed. I think I know why...I didnt managed to score in both assignments and do extremly well in final exam. But the thing is I dont know where went wrong in both assignments, which caused me low marks, seriously I dont. Perhaps Assignment 1 is not that good but what about Assignment 2? I suppose I did quite well in the HRM essay, I answered the question, gave examples, did good research; but how come I only got 16 out of 25? Even the comments I got didnt indicate that I did something wrong, but why???

Is management not my cup of tea or what?

A Nervous 20 Years Old

2006-12-08T04:39:00.000+11:00

Yes, I'm officially a 20 years old now. As my friends said, I finally say farewell to my teenages. I'm the only December baby among my 3M gang, so I'm the last to reach my 20s. LOL~~~

Crap. I feel hungry now. Looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast, going to have Dry Curry Mee + Chee Cheong Fun with my brother at this kopitiam which I forgot the name. Then, I have to fetch him to his PSWO concert rehershal and after that my accupunture treatment. oouch~~~

And I'm starting to feel nervous now. My results will be out soon, real soon, like about 4 hours from now. I actually went to SIS just now, hoping that I can view my results (officially the result release on 8th dec), but cant la... The result will be out sharp at 9am Melbourne time... Keeping my fingers crossed.

Everyone, wish me all the best ba!

19 Turning 20

2006-12-06T02:42:00.000+11:00

Actually I still got lots of outdated posts that I wanna blog about, but I wanna post this before 12am, ie when I'm still 19 years old, so pls bear with me if things are getting too messy here.

So, my birthday is tomorrow, 6th Dec. My buddies had a birthday celebration for me just now at Moven Pick. *touched* Thanks guys!

They didnt tell me earlier on, it's for my birthday, Hor Yue just say go out for dinner, but I can guess the bits of it. Hehe~~~

The restaurant serves Buffet Steamboat, I'm not going to talk much about the food as they are nothing to shout about, but I must say that the ambiance is real nice. Anyway, their business is very good, for God's sake today is Tuesday, obviously a weekday, but it's full house over there. I wonder people go there for the food or environment? Seriously, the food is not nice lo... Forgot about it, gonna get to the gist.

They bought me a birthday cake, a bag and a handmade card. They made the card for me!

Arent they lovely?

Btw they are trying to push my face onto the cake, luckily I can sense that and avoided it. :)Erm...here's some photos we took tonight...

The group pic we asked the guy next table to snap for us. Hehe... I'm holding the cake. From left to right: Jing Wen, Shih Ling, Mee Theng, Mei Yean, Me, Voon Ching & Hor Yue.

Outside the restaurant, this time Hor Yue's brother is the photographer.

Well, I'm getting a bit tired so I wont be posting anymore photos although I feel like to. It's 12.39am Malaysia time now and I'm officially 20 years old. Cant believe I'm already 20!

Last but not least, I'll like to dedicate the last part of this entry to my beloved 3M gang. Thanks for being such a wonderful bunch of friends. I can still vividly remember the old days when we were still in secondary school. The days when we always curi makan in class; the days when we 'ponteng kelas' together during boring periods like Literature; the days when we work hard to be the top achiever of Canteen day; the days when we prepare for our Prom Night and lots more wonderful moments which I would never forget. Wihout you people, form 5 would not so excited + memorable. As Hor Yue said just now, this time we were gathering and talking about out tertiary studies; next time perhaps we will be together and discussing about our childrens. Haha! I would love to see the scene, seriously. So guys, hope we'll be forever friends! 3M rocks!

It's all your fault!

2006-11-30T03:07:00.000+11:00

My dearest brother, obviously I'm blaming u here!

You guys know what? This fella suddenly ask me whether I wanna eat cake or not, and decided to go downstairs and get something to eat. Nothing wrong with eating, but little did you guys know that it's 11.55pm the time he asked me? Fine, he can eat whenever he like, that's none of my business. But then, he came up with no cake, but a bottle of 'Hak Bak' (Soya Bean + Cincau) that I bought for him this afternoon, plus 4 pieces of peanuts biscuits (dont know what's the name, erm...savoury, with peanuts on top of a biscuit base, fried...anyone know what's the name ah?).

I was like... OMG! Temptations! He somemore offered me... Argh! And I ate 1 piece of peanut biscuit... Damn it...

Although I ate little for dinner but I feel quite guilty...

It's all your fault!!!

Sick

2006-11-29T01:53:00.000+11:00

I was sick since yesterday, still feel dizzy now...

As usual, I went for the accupunture treatment yesterday morning, after that become a driver lo... Fetch Shin Jie then Voon Ching, then meet Shih Ling at Ipoh Parade, then go GH and pick up Hor Yue. Busy driver...

We then had lunch at Greentown, then sent Hor Yue back to GH. Hehe...She was late for work though... Hope her supervisor didnt notice la... Then the remaining of us went back to Ipoh Parade again, for shopping of course.

Long time didnt go Ipoh Parade already, not much changes, still that 'cheap' according to my brother, we even saw plp fighting ok? They dindnt really fight la, but going to fight like that lo... Got a security guard stopping them, quite scary...

Erm, got some new shops lo... Maybe will go again next time, with friends kua, dont think mum will like to go there. Btw, I got something from Hang Ten. Two thongs and one umbrella. Damn cheap ok? They seems having sales now, from RM26 reduced to RM9, and I got them for RM8.10 each. Haha... I got privelage card so got a further 10% discount. Happy happy happy!!!

So, these are my new thongs. Not very very nice + special, ordinary thongs lo. Actually, I bought them for summer, wanna bring them back to Melbourne, Hehe...

Photo taken using Nokia N73, how's the quality?

Enough for my daily life in Ipoh... Til then...

1st Sunday Back Home...

2006-11-26T18:04:00.000+11:00

Today is the first Sunday I spent home since February. I'm back here for about 1 week now, still cant stand the hot weather, kept complaining that it's hot. Hehe...living in cold weather for a long time liao so cant switch back yet...

Well, I met with my buddies yesterday. Hor Yue, Shih Ling, Shin Jie and me went Kinta City lo... In Ipoh, we don't have much choices, ok? The only place to go, but some of us will go Ipoh Parade tomorrow, somebody cant go!!! Haha...Hor Yue is having her industrial training now at GH so cant join us although she wanted to. Anyway, it's so good to see them again. Miss them so so much...

And I went to Dragon Fruit farm this morning, one of my family's business. This is my first time visiting. The time when I left Malaysia to Melbourne, it's still under planning; this time when I'm back, I can already eat them. Yummy...Dragon Fruits are nice to eat. The type I ate is those with red flesh, those with white flesh are sour. They are nutritious are definitely an understatement, but they are sweet. I will post the photos I took there next time.

Damn tired right now. Walk up and down at the farm, not forgeting the hot sun, ok?

Til then...

Home Sweet Home

2006-11-24T03:52:00.000+11:00

I'm seriously living to the fullest of my life now.

Enjoyed myself so much here at home, the companionship, the food, the environment, and every single thing. There's nothing better than staying at your home country, living at home, having your family and friends beside you, get to enjoy Mum's home cooking, get access to unlimited flows of TV, Movie, Series... Not forgeting, things here back home are so cheap (compared to Melbourne la...need to convert mah...), all the food are so nice...

OMG! I feel like a rich fella here, really! Haha...havent really do any shopping yet, except for some food stuff, but dont worry, I will.

Shin Jie will be back in Ipoh this Friday and she argeed to meet on Saturday. So so happy! Havent seen her for so long, miss her so so much man. Cant wait to see her lo...

Well, I got too much things to tell about my holidays, but I'm very sleepy now. Wanna sleep edi. :p

Til then...

I'm back!!!

2006-11-22T00:48:00.000+11:00

Finally, after leaving home for like 10 months, I'm back in Malaysia, more specifically Ipoh, my beloved hometown.

*Very very very excited*

Haha... But everyone at home commented that I'm become even fatter already. OMG! My nightmare... When I first saw K Ma, she said she got the shock of her life wor... Then, today when I saw Ah Gong, he also said that I'm fat. I was like... Speechless... Sigh, damn sad...

Btw, I got my hair cut today, not bad la, a new hair style, which is defferent from my previous hair style. Last time, I'm used to short hair, but this time I got a slightly longer style. Someone mentioned that it's not nice and insisted that short short hair suit me better. I was like quite pissed off lo... Why must I have a short hair??? Is there a reason why short hair suit me better? I coundnt be bothered anyway, this is my hair and I can do anything I like with it. Why must I let others to determine my own matters?

And I can hear my mum's 'singing' every single moment... She'll nag me to go bath la, tidy up my stuff la, this la, that la, all sort of things. Typical mother... Hehe... But nevermind la, I'm happy with that. Hehe...

Til then... I must post about the racist treatment that I got in Melbourne Airport next time...

It wont be long...

2006-11-19T17:54:00.000+11:00

I'm nearly done with my packing, left only my sling bag & laptop bag. Weighted those luggages that I wanna check in, about 25kg, according to the weight scale. But I know that it's not very accurate, so I'm keeping my finger crossed now, hoping everything will be alright.

Erm, I think I should clean my room later, it's way too messy.

Now, I gotta check May's essay.

Countdown: 0 days

Haha!!!

Tomorrow this time..

2006-11-18T23:01:00.000+11:00

Hahaha... Tomorrow, by this time, I'll be the airport, already checked in, waiting for boarding. Cant wait!

Well, I suppose to be packing my stuff now, but got distracted. Surfing the net and blogging now.

I reckon packing will be tough, really tough...

Countdown: 1 more day to go...

*Excited*

Btw, went to Victoria Market today, bought some stuff like Fridge magnets, keychains, and I even bought those little koalas, ok? I'll give it to others as souvenier anyway.

So, will back to packing now...

Til then...

It's outdated but I'll still post it

2006-11-17T17:08:00.000+11:00

Exams are over! Finally, it's over. As if I had a long exams, but the fact is I only got 3 exams, of which 1 is take home, that means I only got like 2 exams, but somehow I feel that it's a long time. Perhaps, I'm too too longing to go home. Seriously, didnt study much for MPO because I kept on thinking of going home only. Hehe...

So, officially first year of uni is done! Should be happy about it, after all the torture, discomforts, stress, etc etc, u can name it. Well, I can say that I'm still not very used to Uni life lo... Assignments are killing me! Especially Arts essays, hate researching, but I'll still bear with it la... This is the path I chossen and this will be the road I'll follow for the next 4 years.

Now, I'm just waiting to go home. Yes, home, as in Malaysia, more specifically Ipoh (lazy to type my home address here and I think it's not safe to...). Had been waiting to go back for so long, miss home so much...

But, sadly, I'm flying back alone, instead of having Jien Yeih going back together. Erm, actually feel a bit sorry for her, because she have to look for places to move and need more time. She asked me to defer the date going back but i decline, as I really wanna go back as soon as I can. Haih... But now I also have to stuck in subang till Thursday before I can go back my beloved home. Hope I wont be rooting there la... The worst thing is I dont have a car to drive around, if not I'll be more than happy, because I can go shopping and eat with Dan Qin or go to meet up with friends in KL/PJ mah... Things wont always turn out be what u desired, so just give and take lo...(can u guys sense my dissapointment? I seriously wanna meet mum and give her a hug as I go back lo...)

Well, got to go over to May's place and make egg tarts now. :)

Countdown: 2 more days!!! Yeah!!!

Damn it...

2006-11-15T01:22:00.000+11:00

I reckon I'm in some deep shit now.

Cant concentrate at my revision at all, seriously not even a single moment, all I think is about going home.

I suppose to have something like below in my mind right now:
1. Why operations management is important for an organisation?
2. Develop a decision making model to solve problems under uncertainty?
3. Explain how motivation can help develop and maintain an effective workforce?
4. Develop a marketing plan for a new product.
And the list goes on...

But of all the stuff I should know about Operations Management, Decision Making, Human Resource Management & Marketing, I know nuts. Instead, what in my mind this moment are:
1. Thursday, finish MPO exam and celebrate birthday with Yin Ci.
2. Friday, go last minute shopping with Jien Yieh, buy souveniers & stuff for myself.
3. Do my packings. Can I stuff all my things in? Is it going to over-weight?
4. Sunday night (yeah, my flight is on 00.45am Monday, so gotta check in by 10.45pm.)
5. Going back Malaysia. Malaysian food, shopping, movies, sing k, etc
6. Go Home...
7. Go Home...
8. Go Home...
All about going home...

Damn it... This is like havent even eat breakfast, but planning of what to eat for lunch/tea/dinner/supper. Typical me la... Havent even start the paper or should I say havent even finish revision of the subject, already have a detailed plan on activities in Malaysia.

Argh!!!! I just cant make myself concentrate!

God, Pls help me!

2006-11-14T16:35:00.000+11:00

OMG! Help me please...

I'm seriously not in an exam mood...

Exam is on Thursday and I didnt done much of the revision that I suppose be doing...

All in my mind right now is GO HOME!

Home Sweet Home~~~

Countdown: 5 more freaking days to be home!!!

Not in mood to study at all...

2006-11-13T22:46:00.000+11:00

As the title suggest, I'm not in the mood to do any revision for my upcoming exam. Sigh... I really have to work hard on this one but sadly I didnt for the past few days, I'm simply in holiday mood, go-home mood, Malaysia mood, whatever, just not in exam mood, study mood, jia you mood, kambateh mood, aza aza fighting mood...

I know it's pathetic but what can I do??? Haih....

And I just realise that I bought hell a lot of snacks to bring home, but not enough yet. Have to buy some more Kit Kat, biscuits for Grandma (erm...because I scare she feel bad if I bring back nothing for her :p), Jam for Mummy (I dont know from where she got this idea that Jam in Aus taste better!), and Ferrero Rocher (Eric asked me to buy this and I have to buy it lo...).

Gosh! I already feel like freaking out now. How am I suppose to pack all this stuff into my luggage? More importantly is not to exceed the bagage weight limit... Argh! I'm sure my head will become 100x bigger than Ferrero Rocher when I'm going to do my packing!

Well, I'm seriously not in a exam mood right now... Didnt study much about MPO and the worst thing is I didnt score well in the assignments...

Countdown: 6 days left

Next Week This Time...

2006-11-12T23:52:00.000+11:00

I purposely wanna post at this time...Hehe...

Next week this time, I'll probably at the airport, preparing to go home. So so excited man... Whenever I think of going home, I cant help but imagine what will I do when I reach home...

Miss Mummy, Eric, K mak, Si gor, Ah ma, Ah gong, and everyone at home so much. Also cant wait to see my friends back home... Not forgetting wanna go shopping with Dan Qin... OMG! So many things that I wanna do...

I know it's pathetic but I dont really have mood to study now. Argh! I havent been study since Friday, I think I used most of the time to sleep, yes, to sleep. I wonder why I can sleep like 12 hours a day, but I did for the past weekend. Suppose to be doing revision for MPO, but I sleep. Haih...

Til then...

Countdown: 7/8 days to go home

One more shot...

2006-11-09T21:06:00.000+11:00

I'm left with one more exam to go... Next Thursday, I'll have MPO exam, the last paper of mine. Then, I officially done with first year of Uni. Only left with results to deal with lo...

I'm pretty satisfied with the Global Politics Take Home Exam, I think I tacke it quite well, except exceeded word limit a bit, but not that obvious, so dun bother edi la...

More important is that I'm going home soon!!! 20th November, 00.45am, Off my way back home... So excited la, started buying goodies for family and friends back home, need to get more food stuff like Kit Kat, Chocalates and else. Erm...also souvenirs for taylors buddies lo...dunno what to get for the guys...headache...

But I really scare that my luggage cant accomodate lo... Had been buying too much things, dont think can bring back all the yarns I bought for Aunt Mooi Lan, they are huge, haih... Also I suppose I have to bring back some winter clothings if the plans to Taiwan/Macau/Hong Kong were confirm.

Til then...

Countdown: 10 days!!!

Split milk

2006-11-06T23:39:00.000+11:00

'There's no point to get upset over a bowl of split milk.' This is the message I put in my MSN. I understand that, but it's really hard to let go...

Finished the Intro Macro exam today. How is it? Mum sms me and ask that too. And I replied "Ok la. Not too bad but not too good. Some dunno how to do. But it's ok." What kind of answer is that? Damn pointless lo...

I hate myself at times, seriously. I know I can do my exams well if I put in more effort, but I never try. Then, after exam, feel guilty. That's me...

Obviously, I didnt study much for Intro Macro this time. There are question which I think I can tackle if I done more revisions, but no point saying that now. The paper is over and I cant change anything.

Also I spent too much time on some part, which now I think it's quite stupid. What to do?

So, all I can do now is keep my finger crossed and wait till the results to be released on 8th December. Will be back home by then, have to face all plp about it. Should be okay, right? Hopefully it would not be too bad...

Well, since split milk cant be recovered as Microsoft Words can, let's preventing other bowls of milk to spill over from now onwards!

Global Politics Take Home Exam coming on Wednesday and my next and also last paper, MPO will be on 16th. Will try my best to work on those... Aza Aza Fighting! Kambateh! Jia You!

Wish me all the best, everyone!

4.53pm

2006-11-04T00:12:00.000+11:00

I cant imagine I did that... Never thought of myself will take that risk, really...

The Culture & Empire essay due on Friday 5pm.

I went out from home at about 3.30pm, catch 3.35pm bus to train station, took the 4.03pm train to the city.

Really risky... U would understand my feelings until u experience it yourself.

The train instead of arriving at Melbourne Central, arrived at Flinders Street Station first, it's normal for afternoon trains.

Reached Flinders Street at about 4.26pm like that, but dunno why stuck at another platform for like 10 minutes, finally the door was released. I decided to take a tram from there instead of stay on the train and go Melb Central. I thought it will be faster mah...

When I got on the tram, it was already 4.35pm like that, fdamn scare cant reach Uni on time lo...

Quite 'sui' also, the tram terminate at Queensberry Street and caused some hazzards.

Well, when I reach Melb Uni tram stop, it was 4.50pm. OMG! 10 minutes left for me! Luckily, I only need to go Asia Centre to submit the essay, if not die la...

The time I submited the essay was 4.53pm, really last minute... I also got frightened by this guy, I think I saw him in lectures before. He grab the extension form and wanna fill in wor, I so scare I didnt submit on time lo... But lucky me, then another guy came and submit the essay (which I think is the same subject as mine), only then I felt a sense of relieve...

Finally, submited the essay and I got 3 more exams to go. Next Monday will be my first paper, Intro Macroeconomics.

Haih...I havent started doing practice exam questions and revisions yet. This whole week busy about the essay lo... But I didnt manage to hand in the edited essay by Aunt Mooi Lan, because no more time for that. Her streamyx email account got problem I think, I sent the mail for her like few times but she didnt get it, delay delay delay and the time she sms me and asked me to check mail is like 6pm sumthing. ARGH!!! Damn it...got some tenses error on my essay lo, but cant help, at least better than late submittion kua...

Btw, Yin Ci and gang had their prom night, all of them looked good. Looking forward to see their photos.

And had dinner at May's place, her mum came. Nice Nasi Lemak but pity her, the 'KAYA' she cooked not successful, not smooth. Erm...I'm craving for my Grandma's homamade 'KAYA' now...

Countdown: 16 days

Half way thru...

2006-11-03T02:33:00.000+11:00

I suppose I'm done with the 1st part of my essay... But I think I wrote way too much, used up like 1400 words ++ for the 1st part, havent even go into the 2nd part of the question.

So, do I have to say more? Obviously, I would exceed word limit, more than the 10% allowance kua. Have to edit when done lo... Sien....

Heard from May something that made me feel 'tulan' just now...

Feel hungry right now... Argh! Should I eat something??? But it's 2.30am le, the round face already become very very the round liao le, going back Msia soon le, will tease by friends + family le if gain weight... How? Dilemma...

Seriuosly, I can hear the "guru guru" sound of my stomach protesting...

Should I or Should I not???

Trying To Concentrate....

2006-11-02T11:47:00.000+11:00

Currently, I'm trying my very very best to concentrate on my Culture & Empire essay, really have to, because it's due tomorrow. :p

Yesterday, did nothing much lo. Went Uni to consult my lecturer on some matters, then sat on the lawn and study a bit Macroeconomics ( 1st time sitting on the park and study le...quite nice though the feeling :) ), later meet up with Yin Ci & gang, had lunch together.

After that, as planned, I went to this shop in Melbourne Central to pick up some stuff as souvenirs for my friends back home. Then, walk walk around, went in a shop and ended bought two pants, the price quite reasonable la...

Did nothing much at home too. Dinner, watch Border Security, surf the net and do nothing till 1/2am, chat wif Shin Jie thru MSN though, miss her so much... Finally, wanna do something about essay after so much of lazying. Not bad la, I restructure my Introduction, because the previous one is too long, 300 words plus just for Intro, scare the lecturer kill me! The new one shall be okay, 200 words plus, hope she like it!

Woke up 10am something just now, I really cant remember I switch off my alarm lo... OMG! I set my alarm at 9am, but then... Argh!!! Breakfast, lazy a bit, and now blogging, later will put full power into my essay.

Til then...

A Journey of Thousand Miles Starts with A Single Step...

2006-11-01T01:37:00.000+11:00

Finally...

Perhaps I shall say it in this way, "An Essay of Two Thousand Words Starts with An Introduction".

Yes, the super lazy + tidak ada me, finally started on my Culture & Empire essay very seriously. Gonna finish the intro soon...

I managed to wake up a bit early today despite the fact that I slept quite last the previous night. Did almost all the readings/research needed for the essay (hopefully it's enough!), had a detailed outline, and now doing the Introduction.

Why am I here? Dont u guys know my atitude? I suppose I sort of resemble my 4th aunt, the way we do things. She can started on reading the newspaper articles while she was arranging them. Hahaha... I also sort of like that, see I just cant concentrate on one thing on a full scale, always got distracted by other stuff. Sigh...

Well, gonna meet my lecturer later at 10.30am, to consult her regarding my outline, hope she approve it or should I say hope she is willing to read my intro & listen to my outline.

Wish me all the best ba!

Aza aza fighting!!!

Home Alone ended...

2006-10-30T23:31:00.000+11:00

My aunt & uncle came back from China this morning, so no more home alone...

Got some souvenir from her, happy happy happy!!!

She made me feel like going China too, stuff there are so cheap... I'll gone mad shopping over there...

Anyway,really have to do something on my essay liao...

Wish me luck everyone...

Aza Aza fighting!!!

Daylight Savings; No 2am today!

2006-10-29T01:36:00.005+10:00

What am I doing now? Wasting my time obviously, didnt do anything beneficial at all, just sleep, eat, watch tv, surfing, cook, that's all. No study, no reading, no writing. Haih...

I woke up at about 1pm-2pm today (Saturday), the result of sleeping late, insomia. After that, I cook breakfast/lunch for myself. Made myself a Big Breakfast, really big, consist of English Muffins, Scrambled Eggs with Mushroom, Hashbrown, Sausages & Tomatos. It's so good, I think I got potential to be a good cook if I learn some cooking from my mum. :)

Then, lazy in front of tv lo, damn sien, still feel sleepy despite slept so much already, because dont have proper deep sleep, that's why. Later, wash the dishes and marinate drumsticks with Teriyaki Sauce (my dinner). Decided to do readings for my Culture & Empire essay, not that I want to, but I have to, it's due next Fri and I havent started a single word on it, argh!!!

Erm...end up read til fell asleep. Sometimes, I really feel geram with myself lo... After that, had a late dinner while watch tv, then surf the net and now blogging.

Btw, I nearly forgot about daylight saving. OMG! Thank Godness, Uncle Chris called from Hong Kong and mentioned about it, if not, I'll be blur blur until they come back on Monday, only I'll realise. Now, actually I'm killing my time, wanna wait til 2am to switch the clock one hour forward. Actually, I dont have to wait till 2am but since I'm still awake now so will do that. Hehe...

Soon, the clock will jump from 2am to 3am. Well, I dont really know what its purpose, maybe will check on wikipedia after this to find out.

Til then...

Blogger got some kind of error and I cant post this up just now... Now it's 3.02am, my laptop auto adjust the time, so from 1.59am, it jump straight to 3.00am. Cool...

I'm a Krispy Kreme Glazed Donut!!!

2006-10-28T16:59:00.000+10:00

You Are a Glazed Donut

Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that.You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness.Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you.And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten.

What Donut Are You?

Seriously, I so wanna eat Krispy Kreme now. It's so good!

How Can This Happen To Me?

2006-10-28T04:33:00.000+10:00

Why???

What is the reason of me still staying awake at this wee hour? 4.30am in the morning and I'm still awake. I wanna get asleep too but the thing is I cant!!! I cant sleep, not sleepy at all. How is this possible? This morning, I fell asleep at train, I'm so so sleepy, but now cant sleep.

Argh!!!

Is this consider as insomia? Anyone know what can cure insomia?

Is it because of the cappucino I had this morning that made me so 'energetic'? But last time, coffee wont work on me, I even sleep better after having coffee, but now.... Or is it because of stress? But sounds so...

I wanna feel sleepy now! I wanna meet with 'Zhou Gong'!

Dilemma...

2006-10-28T00:13:00.000+10:00

Should I be happy or what? I dont know... I'm having some sort of mixed feeling right now.

Perhaps I shall be glad that I'm done with my first year of uni. Yes, no more lectures + tutes in uni, only left with 1 essay & 3 exams to go, then I can officially call first year an end. It wont be long though, 3 more weeks.

Again, I havent started my revisions yet and the essay. Haih...

Also I'm having some kind of dilemma now, regarding subject selection. I'm undecisive about what direction should I head in my studies. I had to re-enrol by mid November, already done with the Arts component, left Commerce ones. Should I follow my original plan of doing International Management + Finance or should I change my mind now???

All the while, I really thought myself will like management rather than accounting, economics, etc. I dont know about accounting, because I havent do any accounting subject in uni. Actually, I quite enjoy it though during A-Levels time. Erm...or maybe I just like the sense of achievement? Hehe...whenever I can solve the question, ie get the balance sheet balance, prepare the P&L correctly, I feel happy. :) Also I feel I quite like economics at this moment. Is it because I got only H3 for MPO assignments and in contrast I got like H1 in my economics assignments?

I really feel that management is a bit boring lo, after doing MPO. Is it the problem with this subject alone or really the area management is not my cup of tea? I dont know.... I really get demotivated every time I get my MPO assignments back, are they so not good? I always expect I can get H1/H2A/H2B for them lo, H3 is a grade I dont wish to see. I felt I did not bad what, but why? Twice, I got dissapointed twice! :(

And most of the people I know, all wanna do accounting + finance, most of them, except one who wanna do management. Somehow, they say this combination have a better career prospect wor... Btw, uncle will be doing economics + finance. Am I distracted by them? I admit I'm a bit kiasu, ok? I really scare when I graduate, no company wanna employ me lo... I cant take it man! 'Invested' some much 'funds' in my higher education here, if no 'return' then die la! Investment like this rugi better! How u expect me to accept???

Argh... Dilemma... Should I rethink about my direction now? Am I taking the correct path that will lead me to success, achievement, recognition and life that I'd always dream of? Should I consider doing economics + finance which is a much more popular combination? Argh...I'm so so confused. (But, for sure I'll do Finance.) Or should I do a bit of economics & management subjects and all of them will be related to International business/trade. But I got constraints chosing subjects lo, not enough space in the degree structure!

Decision, decision, decision. Choice, choice, choice. No matter which choice I made, I'll forgo something, forgo the path that I didnt chosse and I'll never know what outcome will I get if I chossen that path. Either path I chosse, I'll lose, maybe it'll be pain, or maybe it'll be gain. No one knows, God knows perhaps. Will I regret or will I be glad with the path I chosse?

Just like "The Road Not Taken". I dont know which road to follow now...

Am I thinking way too much? Perhaps, I should just follow my intuition, the very very original intuition of mine...

I'll asking myself way too much questions at this time... I shall concentrate on my essay + exams first...

Something is going away so fast wihout i aware...

2006-10-26T22:40:00.000+10:00

OMG! This is week 12 of uni & today is Thursday. That means tomorrow will be the last day of my first year of uni. I just cant believe it!!! It's so so fast... Next week will be SWOT VAC and after that will be semester 2 exam.

OMG! I havent even started my revision for any subject lo... Somemore, I have the culture & empire essay due next Friday. Gosh...I went Officeworks to photocopy the books today, spent like $7 ++, dunno how many pages, but I'm definitely very tired of doing the photocopying. I feel like buying a photostat machine and put it in my room, ok??? I really spent a lot on photocopy, after convert to RM, even more scary... (Well, I wont buy photostat machine, just joking, I got a 3 in 1 printer+scanner+copier, wonder why I didnt use that to photocopy?)

And I cooked just now, Grilled Cajun Chicken, I think I'll soon become a expert of Grill Chicken, haha... Had been cooking a lot of Grill Chicken since I'm home alone. Well, my home alone are ending soon, my aunt coming back on Sunday/Monday from China.

Erm...all the things I wrote seems quite irrelevant, I dont care liao... This is my blog and I can write what I wanna write.

Btw, I'm really excited about going home now, I mean Malaysia. Yeah!!! I'm flying back on 2oth midnight, ie less than 1 month from time. I even start buying soveniers now, but still havent get enough, must get stuff for my family, 3M gang and Taylors gang. But dunno my luggage can accomodate anot lo... I had been shopping a lot here and there's many things that I bought for my mum & bro. Not forgeting yarns for Aunt Mooi Lan and winter coat for Aunt Betty which I bought ages ago. Also my aunt kept on reminding me that grandma left a bag for me 2 bring back. Haih... I also dunno how ah....

Til then...

Life's precious!

2006-10-24T00:28:00.000+10:00

That's my thought of the day after watching some programmes on the Nat Geo channel. 'Life's precious so appreciate life and never take life for granted!'

After finish watching Australian Idol, I was lazying in front of the tv, switching between channels, then I saw Air Crash Investigation was on, so decided to watch it. It's a very interesting documentary, trace back some air accidents and illustrate them. Highly recommended!

The one I watched is about the incident happened back in 1988 on a Hawaian airliner, Aloha 243. Half way thru its journey on air, its roof tore apart. At last, it successfully landed with most of the people on board safe despite the fact one crew member died and its body coudnt be found.

The amazing part is that normally the airport where they landed, Maui I think, got very strong wind according to the people there. However, the moment when the plane land, there was no wind at all, according to the fire fighter at scene. Dont u think it's amazing? Well, I really believe the fact miracles do happen and when there's a will, there'll be a way. Never give up easily!

Following that, Seconds From Disaster was on, I was again attracted and watched the consequent 2 shows of it. :p One is about avalanche in Galtur, Austria and another one is about the Asian Tsunami. It made me reflect deeply on myself.

I was complain that 'Life's a struggle', yes the name of this blog, my favourite quote. But, I ignore the point that there are some people who wanted so much to be alive. That's why I should really appreciate what I had now and live to my fullest as we can never predict what will happen next.

I'm thinking of changing this blog's name but have little idea what name to adopt...

WTF!!!

2006-10-23T00:14:00.000+10:00

Supposed to post one entry earlier about mid sem break but it's gone now. Dont ask me why, I dont know why it turn out like this. Haih... I think I'll stop reflecting on it.

Anyway, it's 12.10am now. As usual, I end up doing nothing today (sunday). I meant didnt study + work out on my essay. Sigh!

Woke up at about 1pm, the result of 'insomia'. I cant sleep at night for the past week and not willing to wake up in the morning. Mum told me even fortune teller predicted that. OMG! How???

Well, this will be the last week of Uni, after that will be SWOT vac then it's exam. It's way too hard for me to believe that my first year gonna end soon. Time flies wihout I'm aware of. It's just like yesterday when I first came Melbourne, struggling with the new environment, missing home tremendously (although I'm still struggling with assignments & missing Msia a lot now) :P Now, first year is towards its end and I'll be flying back in less than 1 month time from now. Yeah!

Exam is coming and I havent started on my revision yet, not forgetting I got my Culture & Empire essay due 3 Nov, also havent started yet. Typical myself... LOL.

Til then... Wanna do MPO tute readings now, but seriously I'm very lazy...

Day trip...

2006-10-22T19:48:00.000+10:00

After the zoo outing on Thursday, there's no particular outing on Friday. At first we planned to go St Kilda but it was cancelled. (Wow! I have to admire myself man... I remember so well!) Wen Kai flying back that day, Yin Ci stayed home, me, May, Joyce, John and Zhong Yong went out for lunch at Shanghai Dumpling, favorite lunch venue on Friday.

Half way thru, we saw this ad of Melbourne day trip centre, took a brochure and head to lunch. Decided to go this day trip of Puffing Billy+Yarra Valley+Healsville the next day, cost $130 after discount. Perhaps we made a booking of 9 plp, the gang+Janet & friends, so we got the discount.

Also, I accompanied May, Joyce & Zhong Yong to RMIT open day, got a nice goodies bag. After that, go hanging around and attracted by FOX 40% off sales. Both May & I bought thongs which turn out to be not really comfortable to wear, nevermind, I bought tees too. Later, went Max Burner, believe me, this is my first time going to Max Burner. Ate waffle then off to shopping again! Went Myers and both of us bought sunnies from Basement. They are Playboy ones & had 50% off already reduced price, so i bought on a kiasu mindset. Cheap mah~~~

Kinda out of topic. Let's go into our day trip on Saturday now. We travel by coach, first stop was at Dadenong Ranges, we were served Morning tea there. Tasted Billy Tea, Lamington & Crackers with Vegemite. And we get to feed birds here. May is so excited (she love birds!). The birds are wild & we saw a few different type of them like Parrots & some which I dunno their names. :p Zhong Yong got beaten by a big bird, pity him...

The girls feeding bird

Then, we are off to the reknowned Puffing Billy, the old steam train ride. Obviously, we were the noist plp on the carriage. We are so so excited, took pictures all the way, from start to the end of the ride. We can cling ourselves onto the 'bars' during the ride too. That's cool man! Btw May wore different socks on both feet. Speechless...

Puffing John??? Haha..Dunno why all of us pointed at John. On our way to the ride...

Trying to pull the old train down! Outside the carriage.

Joyce, Yin Ci & me in front of the Puffing Billy

After that, we travel by coach to a winery in Yarra Valley, Ferguson's Winery. It's spring now so we cant see any grapes. Too bad... Had our lunch there, roast beef + salad, quite good though. But the wine served at lunch are not to our liking, not that I know how a good wine taste like but it's not nice to drink lo... While others are doing some wine tasting after the spit roast luch, we as usual went outside to snap shots. The driver had to chase us on to the bus as we were so busy posing at the winery and unwilling to leave. Typical us...taking photos at every inch we can find.

Cheers~~~ Yin Ci, me & May

With our tall driver + Janet's group

Yeah! Anyone notice the background, the scenery is so breathtaking, I come here again!

Decision time- We were given a choice of wildlife park or wineries. I wanna go to both though but we can only chosse one, since we were not interested in wine tasting so we went to Healsville Sanctuary. Followed by another decision where we had to chosse visiting animal hospital or watching bird show. May chossen the latter and the other of us abondened her. I visited animal hospital, nothing fantastic, only get to watch the staff there feeding an injured baby wallaby, listen to several types of wildlifes' heart beat and snap a few photos that made May jealous of us. Haha! Btw the animals here are so much better than Melbourne Zoo ones, at least they are more active. Also we can get a closer look of them and there were guides explaining to us all the way thru.

According to the guide, the Kangaroos arent moving around because it's hot. What the hell? It's not hot lo... I finally know why I'm always lazying around, it's not my fault though, it's the influence of Australia, see koala also sleep more than a dozen hours, kangaroos also so relax, you cant admit the fact that I'm influenced by the environment...

Outside the animal hospital, a nice wall for photos.

Finished visiting all wildlifes, but how can we not snap some pictures?

The entrance, reunited with May, photo shooting time of cause...

That's all for the trip, we were very tired is of cause an understatement but we definitely enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Mid-semester break 2006

2006-10-22T18:35:00.000+10:00

It's so so outdated but I'll still blog about it anyway. I'm a person who wish to capture every happy moment which I had in my life. I always like to imagine how my future will be and also recall back the old memories I had before. That's why sometimes I like to chill at home, just lay back, stare at nowhere, and think randomly. Kind of crazy, huh?

This is also one of the reason why I always print out photos taken and arrange them in photo album. When I print photos, it's quite an expense, because I really print a lot. Eg the last week of my A-Levels & prom nite, I think I printed like 200-300 photos; the trip to Yunnan last year with mum & bro, I nearly finish filling a 300 photo album.. One of my aunt operates photo shop, so nevermind la... Dont get me wrong! I pay for the photos I develop although I got some discounts :), I meant that the money doesnt flow outside, it flows to my aunt! *cough*

Well, back to my topic of the day. The last break I had before my 1st year ended, I really enjoy it and I suppose all my buddies did too.

Hisa, Qi Lun & Wen Kai (who stayed here for 1 week) went back Malaysia and left us here in Melbourne. So, we decided that we have to impress them, the fact that we didnt go back, we can enjoy our hildays too. Just being 'kiasu'!

For 'appertizer', we went to Melbourne Zoo. Yes, a bunch of 17-20 years old went zoo just like primary kids who visit the zoo for the 1st time. Lily joined us too. We spent one whole day in zoo although the original plan was to go Melbourme Aquarium for the other half day.

We took tremendous number of pictures, remarkably there are more human than animals in the photos. We took picture of us jumping, laying the park, posing some crazy pose, "playing" with flowers, etc. It was a good outing even though the animals we saw are old + lazy. They hardly move lo, the animals I saw in Tarronga Zoo, Sydney is better.

One more thing which was noteworthy, someone mistaken babi hutan as wombat. Who is the one that made such a joke of the day? Somebody lo, not me, Yin Ci, May, Joyce, Lily and Wen Kai. U know who's the one? In case u dunno, it's John! All of us were convinced by John that the animal we saw is wombat, we even mention that now only we know babi hutan is wombat. Then Lily found out from the board that the animal is babi hutan. OMG! Cant stop laughing til today lo!

Later, we went to eat Korean food for dinner, quite expensive but it's really good.

So, I'll end this post with some pictures we took...

Outside the zoo

Have any idea why are we doing?

Group pic wihout Lily who dislike taking photo, wonder why?

Cant see any animals, right? Seriously, I can hardly find any photo of us with animals...

Back to blogging!

2006-10-22T18:25:00.000+10:00

I'm finally back in action. Havent been posting for such a long time. The last post was during the mid semester break when I was sick. Just being lazy... :p

Well, let's recall what happen in my life since my last post. I suppose there'll be a lot of entries today. I feel so reluctant to do readings for my Culture & Empire final essay, so found this excuse to not doing it. Hahaha!

Kept on reading la, in case there's anyone reading my blog (which I think there's none). I had been enjoying reading people's blog these days. Reading some food blogs by fellow malaysians, and also some personal blogs like kennysia.com, smashpop, etc, seems to be my daily practice nowadays.

So, next entry will be featuring my 2 weeks mid-semester break.

My body is telling me to rest....

2006-09-18T21:24:00.000+10:00

Had been veRy busy for the past week, 3 assignments due. Didnt sleep well... Stay awake whole Thursday night to finish up the Culture & Empire essay. I know it's not good for my body but what to do??? I got too many things on but have too little time...

Then friday also slept late. Had this party for Qi Lun, ate steamboat, played pool, futsal, had girls talk. Went yum cha on saturday, then shopping, later watched movies but i slept half-way-through.

After torturing my body for all these, it finally pay revenge on me. Had been not feeling well whole Sunday, dizzy, fever, nose block, bad snorring...

Went to see doctor today, waited one and a half hour, felt damn sien waiting alone there. Doctor told me I having fever, 38.9 degrees which made me feel dizzy & cold. My chest was blocked wif flames too... Haih... Dont have appetite, feeling cold n hot off n on, dizzy, sleepy....

Argh... I got 2 assignments due after the break and now I'm sick. How to overcome this???

Drown in the sea of assignment...

2006-09-12T01:05:00.000+10:00

It would not be long... Soon, I'll see myself drowning in the sea of stress. Ijust got too many things on, but too little time... Cant help it!!!

Wondering whose idea is that? Saying that Uni life is all about relaxing, freedom, etc. That's so wrong, so so wrong.

Uni life is even more stressful + busy than secondary/college life. That's how I feel...

I got 3 assignments due this week. One down and two more to go. MPO assignment 2 which worth 25% + Culture & Empire essay which worth 30%. Both are equally important and both due on Friday! Sigh...

Havent really started both yet. Just finished my outline for Culture & Empire, just some craps... Forced to do it coz I have to consult my lecturer tomorrow. Hope it'll be alright. Will start a bit on MPO now although I feel like sleeping already.

What to do??? This is the suffering we have to undergo in life. Afterall, human are inescapable from suffering, it's an endless cycle.(Buddhism philospohy though...)

Til then... All the best to myself!!!

Feeling sick...

2006-09-06T16:30:00.000+10:00

It all started with a piece of Durian... If my judgement is not wrong though...

Ate a piece of Durian on Monday nite, then my throat feeling a bit unwell next morning. I know my body, it's symptoms of sore throat. Dare not get a cup of Hot Choc for myself, although I feel like having it. Afraid that it's heaty and would worsen my throat. Had fresh juice after lunch, hoping to cool down my body, not successful though.

At night, ate herbal jelly, also for the same purpose,in vain too. Sigh...the sore throat made me feel lazy to do my CALM comment...

Boiled barley this morning, hope that it helps, but then the barley i boiled turn out very weird. Taste different from what I drank in Msia. I suspect I bought the wrong type of Barley. Who knows there's different kind of Barley??? Haih...

Still havent finish my comment yet, luckily the due date is extended. I'll have a busy week from now onwards. My culture & empire class paper is due on next Monday, MPO + Culture & empire essays are due on Friday.

But after that I'll have a 2 weeks break. But the sad thing is I got 2 more assignments due after the break. Sien...

Til then...

Merdeka

2006-09-01T00:11:00.000+10:00

31st August, Malaysia National Day. Happy 49 year old, my beloved country!

Had been very busy these few days, busy with my CALM response, really finished it at the last minute after my effort of doing it in bout 12 hours time I think. Hehe...U know me la...Last minute hero!!!

Well, ate Mcd McChicken Meal for my lunch, somehow feel that Mcd back home is better. No wonder they say "the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks...". Or I'm missing Malaysia too much and the taste lack here is the taste of home... Dunno...

Then, went to dinner with my aunt and her gang of friends. Buffet at Templestowe Hotel, it was good man. I end up eating so much...the prawns, calimari, fish, chips, roast pork, etc etc. Sigh... I dun wanna gain weight la...

And I did this test juz now. How un-Malaysian are u? I am 42% non-Malaysian wor... No comments...

Congratulations Dan Xuan Chee, you are 42% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...

Michelle Yeoh!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

CALM...

2006-08-27T18:07:00.000+10:00

Handed in two assignments last week... Global Politics + Managing People & Organisation essays. Keep my finger crossed now, hoping to get a good marks for both...

CALM (Introductory Macroeconomics assignment) is due next WED. The bad news is I havent even started and the good news is I'll force myself to start tonight, after watching Australian Idol. Hehe... Cant help with my lazyness!!!

Slept at 5.30am in Fri morning coz I just finished my MPO essays. As usual, I like to do my stuff at the last minute. Dunno it's a good thing or bad thing... No comments.

Stay over at college square, wanna release my stress... Ate assam laksa 4 dinner at Russell Street, just taste okay, miss Penang Assam Laksa immensely. Cant wait to go Penang and have a makan trip when I'm back Msia. Then, friday nite fever as usual, we watch Robin Hood together, a comedy, not bad.

Help May with her accounting essay on the next morning then went to Crown. Yin Ci got lunch appointment; May and I just hanging around. Went for a walk along Yarra River, our lunch is bat kut teh at Crown foodcourt, dessert is cake at Greco, originally wanna get a snack but didnt go at the end. Will go and try 'the lord of the fries' next time. Someone gonna belanja me... Haha!

Wasted the whole Sunday, just lazying around after I wake up at 11 sumthing. Sigh...should have use the time to do my CALM but I didnt. And I'm blogging now...

Btw I'm currently watching 'The Hospital', a taiwanese drama series about doctors' stories in the hospital. Suddenly feel that hospital is a horrible place that is full of politics after watching dis show... Perhaps dis is the society norms, there will be war everywhere... No world peace...

Well, til then... Wanna prepare dinner now...

USD 29.95

2006-08-20T01:03:00.000+10:00

Doing my global politics essay now, barely have any idea to continue, so decided to blog instead of sitting here and stared at no where.

I finally decided to buy Spyware Doctor, after the trial version found out 331 infections in my PC. I dunno whether it's a scare tactic or what, so to encourage people to buy their program. (The free trial one cant remove any infections found.) If it is, they are very effective though, at least to me. Really hope that all the hassles I had with my laptop these few days were caused by the infections found. I spent USD 29.95 to purchase the registration code.

I would not spent AUD 35 on my hair cut, but I'm forced to spent more than that amount, hoping to solve my pc problem. Sigh... My hair look like bush now...had no idea which hair salon to go. The previous one I went is a bit bad, my friends say hair dont look good. Dare not go there again although it's cheap. Or maybe cheaper means not-so-good quality???

Finger-crossed I'm able to finish my essay. Also my pc will be back to normal.

Wish me luck...

Stress!

2006-08-19T16:17:00.000+10:00

I'm very very stressed out now. Feel like screaming...scream at the top of my throat...scream out my stress!

My laptop is serious problem... The message saying low disk space kept on appearing despite I didnt add anything to the memory. Stupid!!! I suppose all these are contributions from virus + adware + spyware.

Someone sent me a program that perhaps that solve the problem but I cant even open it. Sigh! Then, I try to scan my pc using spyware doctor and found out that there's about 300 plus infections in my pc. OMG! Although I knew that, but I cant remove them because I'm using the free trial version. Need to pay $29.99 to get the registered version so to remove them... What da xxxx!

My global politics essay will be due on Monday and I havent even started! It's about democratic peace thesis. I think it's bull shit. Before the thesis can promote world peace, it already killed someone, ie ME! World peace, a slogan that is popular among some beauty peagents. Those contestants like to say they would like to see world peace. Impossible man! As long as human is self-interested, war is unavoidable. Just like those people who create virus/adware/spyware, they meant to ruins peoples' life. I would declare war towards them if I can.

Gotta check my mail and see whether the guy sent me the solutions now... Til then...

Stupid Trojan!!!

2006-08-14T22:42:00.000+10:00

Argh!!!

I wonder why there are so many trojan horse these few days. I detected 3 yesterday and 4 today. When just about to start blogging, my AVG Anti Virus pop-up and say detected 1 more. OMG!

I hoped these would not affect or ruin my pc. Finger-crossed... I deleted all anyway even though I had moved them to the virus vault. Well, just play safe.

Today wasnt that smooth for me though. I got a 11am tutorial and as usual I reached Melbourne Central at about 10.30am. Normally, I got more than enough time to reach Uni and even go and get myself a cup of Hot Choc or Coffee or whatever. But, who knows what actually happen to me today???

There was no tram from Melbourne Central to Melbourne Uni. Not even a single tram!!! Whereas the opposite direction, ie from Uni, got so many trams, countless. This really frustrated me. There was a whole bunch of people and a lot of them are going to Uni as well, waiting there and cant do anything except to wait for the tram to come, a bit to far to walk to Uni...

Waited for about half an hour, finally trams started to come, thought can hop up and head to Uni, but then all the passengers came down from the tram and I heard the driver announcing that "This is the last stop!". What the xxxx! Later, about 4-5 trams came and again not picking up people, instead reverse to the other way. OMG! How can this happen to me???

Of course, I'm late for my tute. When I went in, someone is presenting the class paper, so embarassed le... Sigh... Got MEAT test from tomorrow onwards; global politics essay due next Monday; not forgetting MPO assignment 1 which contain of three 500 words essay due next Friday; and still more to come. Havent started on a single one yet...

Til then... Wish me luck!!!

Random Thought...

2006-08-10T23:49:00.000+10:00

Sometimes I doubt my decision of doing a double degree of Commerce/Arts instead of a straight Commerce. Lately, lots of people seems to be asking me the same question as well. I dont know how to answer them, perhaps I chosse not to answer...

At first, I wanted to do Commerce/Law, but unfortunately my A-Levels result were not impressive enough so I chossen Commerce/Arts. Frankly speaking, sometimes I struggled with my arts subjects, particularly political science. Those people in my tutorial always have so many to talk about, their opinion, their own thoughts regarding the current world politics. I'm always so quiet as I dont know what to talk about.

During my school days in AMC or even A-Levels days in Taylors, I'm pretty confident with my knowledge; I can talk about Malaysian economy, politics, etc. However, over here, I felt that I'm so weak in these topics. I'm just like a 'katak bawah tempurung'.

Had a phone chat with my mum just now, heard a lot of things that happen recently, felt down... Sigh... I cant help anything!!!

I'm actually thinking should I stick to my plan and continue with my combined degree or should I drop the Arts??? But I'm starting to like them, they really widen my horizon and in a way allow me to think critically in certain issues...

Haih... Life's a struggle! I simply dont like to make a choice like this...

Wasted Saturday

2006-08-05T19:05:00.000+10:00

Well, woke up at about 12 noon, half a day gone... Then lunch, lazying around, do my laundry, surf the net til now. Do nothing!!! I suppose to do my readings and I end up doing nothing but wasting my time lazying around... Sigh!

Sometimes, I feel sicked of myself. I'm such a lazy person... I seldom prepare the readings that i need to for tutorials. I know this is 'unhealthy', so to speak for my studies but I just cant change my attitude. Speechless...

I'm obsessed with the way I shop too. Myers still having sales and it'll end tomorrow. Thank God! Or not I can shop like mad...

Lazy...

Shopping spree...

2006-08-03T22:44:00.000+10:00

I got only 2 hours of class today, finished at about 12, then went to the bookshop to get the management subject reader. It was sold out again!!! Cant believe it! So have to go to the department and asked them to reorder again. Finger-cross i can get it by tomorrow...

After lunch, went Myers as I had planned earlier. Wanna get polo tee for Eric and kill my time... End up, bought a sling bag, a scaft, a pair of surf pant + walking shoes for myself; and 1 polo tee for Eric.

Spent like $65 as Myers is still having sales... OMG! I think i really have to control myself already. I just cant resist when I see those stuff are so cheap... Cant shop like tat everyday la... Especially I still have 2 pair of Skechers sneakers at home which I havent wore before, not forgetting a pair of Reebok that I bought here that day plus the new 1 i bought today. Mum'll kill me man! She always complain that the house is full of my stuff and now I guess she'll got a headache when she see the credit card bill. Hehe...

Well, that's all for now...

Sigh...

2006-07-31T23:44:00.000+10:00

It's 11.40pm now. I'm very tired, feel like sleeping already, but I'm still blogging.

Got a 11am lecture tomorrow and have to wake up at about 8.45am so to be on time.

Certainly, I feel myself still in holiday mood, havent switch myself back into Uni life yet. Always feel lazy to wake up in the morning, probably I'm too used to wake up at noon time during the winter break. Haih... Somemore, it's still in winter now, my bed are so comfortable & warm to stay in!!!

And I havent done my readings for tomorrow Global Politics tutorial yet... Lazy la... There's a lot man!!!

So, got to stop here, better start reading now or I'll feel left out in the tute tomorrow.

Random Post...

2006-07-30T23:20:00.000+10:00

So, Semester 2 had begun. The first week of Semester 2 was overall okay for me.

I must admit that I'm still in holiday mood, not really prepared to start "Uni-ing" yet. As usual, there was no tutorials in the week except for MPO. Rather free...

I'm quite satisfied with the subjects this semester. Macroeconomics is not bad; MPO should be interesting but the lecturer seemed like to repeat his words for countless time (haih...); Culture & Empire will be good if Justin were not that particularly with his marking; Global Politics is more interesting than MPS. Hope my first impressions are correct then...

Assignments are coming soon and this means that my life will be stuffed and filled with countless assignments again. Sigh... This is something which I dont really like about Uni life, especially when I have few assignments which due at the same date. But what to do??? This is what I have to face...

Apart from Uni, I done something really fun too. Had dinner with Emily & Jien Yieh at friday night, then went Myers for shopping. Ehm..met with May later and had a chat in Koko Black. We saw this longest Rolls Royce in Australia. Cool man!!! Ehm...As common, stay over at Yin Ci place, Hehe... Went Myers again on Saturday with May & Yin Ci and shopped quite a lot.

May and I did something crazy too. We both make Jelly in the middle of the night. And this somehow proves that we must avoid cooking when it's time to sleep. I end up forget to add in one ingredient, but luckily the jelly turned out not too bad, just not that 'elastic' as Qi Lun said.

So, that's all for the past week... Til next time...

Last Week Of holiday...

2006-07-26T17:48:00.000+10:00

I really enjoy my winter break til the very last minute...

Last Friday night, we had our very own steamboat party at "2211", ie Wen Kai's house at College Square.

Apparently it was an early birthday celebration for John whose actual birthday is on 8th August. Well, Yin Ci will be having her exams by then, so they decided to give John a surprise. Indeed, we are quite successful, he had no idea until Qi Lun & Wen Kai bring in the cake.

This was our first try cooking steamboat, dont have much idea how to cook the soup base, but we end up making two nice soup base, one spicy szechuan style and one seafood base. Thanks to 'Lee Kum Kee' creations and Lily's help. Hehe...

All of us really enjoyed immensely. Not forgetting we drink as well. None of us drunk, except many of us end up with a really red face, especially John. Anyway, we just drink beer and some vodka based lemonade. So, wont be drunk that easily... But i think Wen Kai might be a bit as he mistaken vineager as achohol and end up pouring the whole bottle and clean it up together with other empty beer bottles. Cant stop myself laughing!!!

And the guys made really good fruit cocktail too. Overall, it's really a good gathering for all of us.

Dont have it wrong by thinking that our night just finish this way. The night is still young! After finishing the dinner, we walked Lily to the tram stop in Royal Parade. A whole bunch of us walk by the cemetery at middle of the night. Haha! Then, we walked John home, so we walk thru Tin Alley. My first time walking in Uni at night, not bad with the 'South Lawn' joke...

Well, that's most of it.. Then Saturday night, we have dinner with Hisa's mum & sis. Sunday, went to Victoria Market. Then, head home...

Now that Semester 2 has commence, my life will be stuffed with assignments again. So, til next time I post... Take Care everyone!

Everything that arrises, ceases...

2006-07-20T16:43:00.000+10:00

Well, it's Thursday and this also means that my winter break are going to end very soon. 3 more days to go and Uni reopens.

So, what had I done in this long vacation? Remarkedly, I went to Sydney and had 10 days holiday there and Amy came Melbourne, hence I'm busy bringing her around for city sightseeing. Not forgetting, we went for a Great Ocean Road day tour.

Also u can find me always hanging around in College Square... Going there again 2mr for a Steamboat party. I stayed there more often than in my house this break. Dunno what to say about that...

Now, I knew that things can become very complicated when u leave it to the very last minute. I paid my fees yesterday using Internet but it seems that it havent reach the Uni account yet. Argh...2mr is the due date. But I'm not going to pay any late penalty. (Touch Wood!!!)

Another matter that bothered me a lot... I dunno what's wrong with my laptop, I cant view my timetable!!! At first, I thought is the syatem error or whatever, but it's not! I asked May to try and she can view it, then I tried out on another computer, it works. What the fXXk!!! I cant change some of the classes that I dont prefer somemore... Sigh... Anyway, I'm going to Uni 2mr and settle it with the staff. Hope I'm able to change it...

Wish my luck la...

Kind Of Busy...

2006-07-12T00:15:00.000+10:00

I'm still in my winter break. About 1 week plus from now before Uni Semester 2 starts...

Amy are here for holidays. Going to bring her around for sightseeing + shopping. Hehe... Both of us will be going to Great Ocean Road this Thursday for a day trip. Should be very interesting!!!

The bookshelfs that I bought in the begining of holidays are still in boxes, havent essemble them yet. Sigh... Seems that I really busy all this while...

So, wont be blogging for the next few days because I wont be at home. Staying over at Yin Ci's place so that I dont have to travel...

Til next time...

Results Are Out!

2006-07-07T22:19:00.000+10:00

My second post for the day...

Uni Semester 1 results are released... I checked it thru SIS this morning.

It was just okay. Not outstanding but cant say it's bad. (Ehm...perhaps I'm just trying to console myself...)

I got H2A for Media, Politics & Society; H2B for Intro Microeconomics; H3 for China Since Mao + QM1.

I know I did not do very well in the exams so no complains about the grades. Maybe I did not put in enough efforts in preparing the exams. I'm busying doing the One Child policy essay at that time and did not have much time left to study for Intro Micro & QM1. I should have arrange my time better. Hopefully I can learn from the mistakes...

But QM1 is tough if you compared it with the past year paper!!! Well, just trying to make myself feel better...

And the subject I dislike most got the highest grade of all my results. I dont know what to say... Also I'm really confused now, whether should I take Global Politics in next sem or not???

Sigh... As I always say "Life is a struggle!!!"

Back In Melbourne...

2006-07-07T22:05:00.000+10:00

Well... I'm finally back from Sydney...

Reach Melbourne at about 11pm yesterday night, the flight delayed.

Overall, I'm quite happy with the trip. Visited almost all the famous attractions in Sydney, although I did not managed to go to Blue Mountain. Nevermind, I'll go there again anyway. Hehe...

Did some shopping there but did not really buy much because my luggage cant handle it! It can merely be zipped up. Should have brought one more extra bag there. Haih...

Not forgetting, I bought like 4 boxes of Krispy Kreme including 1 that John asked me to buy. Everyone at airport was looking at me, they must be thinking I'm mad or something. Even those people that pass by in the plane was commenting about it... OMG! So embarrassed le...

Well, it's worthwhile. Because it's really good although it's a bit sweet + unhealthy perhaps. Hope to see some satisfactions on my friends' faces tomorrow when they eat them. That will make me feel even better...Hehe...

So, I will post some pictures of my Sydney trip when I got them from Amy. Yin Ci and gang will be back tomorrow morning. Looking forward to see them...

That's all for this time... I will continue to enjoy my holidays!!!

Karaoke Night

2006-06-27T21:58:00.000+10:00

Went to this karaoke night organized by MOMU yesterday night with Siew Joo, Adeline, Ed & Jin Han.

We were the 1st group to reach and the last to leave. Others went Federation Square & Lygon Street to watch Italy vs Australia.

Overall, it was good. Ed is really a good singer and all of us have fun.

No tram service at that time, so gotta walk back to college square from La Trobe Street in the cold winter night. Somemore I'm wearing the wrong attire, shouldnt have wore that knitwear....

Pass by Lygon Street, it was really crowded with people. Lots of police walking up and down patrolling. Ambulance was on standby too.

Unfortunately, Australia lost. It was quite unfair. Anyway, it's over and nothing can change.

Well, I'm going to Sydney tomorrow by 11.15am flight. Still haven't pack my things yet. Sigh...

So, I'll be away for about 10 days. Will post about my Sydney trip when I'm back...

Speechless...

2006-06-15T20:21:00.000+10:00

Sigh... I dont know what to write...

Currently, I feel so down. Just about 3 hours ago, Qi Lun told me Yin Ci is not going to Sydney. My first reaction was shocked and I asked him back what should I do then? I shouldnt have ask him that question. I then asked him why is she not going, He just answer she got some family problems. Later, Yin Ci kept apologies to me. I still have little idea about what is happening but I sensed that it's something serious because she's crying.

Then, found out from May that her father pass away. Haih... She must be very hurt and sad now. I can understand that because I encounter it before.... Cant really remember how I feel when my dad pass away... That time I was only 6 years old plus. Perhaps I am not that shocked because he suffered cancer before that and may be I have some sort of so called 'preparation' in my hearts of hearts. I dont know... Or may be that time I was too young to understand the kind of pain/hurt.

Life is full of uncertainties and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. Really... Everything can happen wihout you aware. So, dont ever waste a single second when you stil have it with you. Your parents, your friends, your own health, etc... Everything is so precious in this world and dont complain with what you have now! Because you might regret if you happen to lose it!

Yin ci, I'll pray for you... Hope you will be tough!

How can this happen to me?

2006-06-14T00:46:00.000+10:00

Sigh...

My first attempt to create this post was furtile, dunno got some sort of error. So, this is my second try.

I'm watching a TVB Series now. "Always Ready" starring Boey Lam, Ekin Cheung, Chermaine Sei, etc. So far so good. It's about GFS (Government Flying Service), mainly describing the rescue tasks of the team as well as the characters' love story as usual. This appear wihout miss in Hong Kong series.

It had been a long time I never watch Chinese dramas, even since I came Melbourne... So, this series really attracted me. Moreover, I'm having a long vacation now. What else to do but to indulge myself with dramas???

Sadly, I just find out that episode 13 is missing!!! Finished watching episode 12 and was about to continue my series marathon, however I cant! Just believe my eyes! How can this happen to me???

I try to search for its torrent online, but I cant find any that allow me to download straight away. Have to register as member la... Do this and do that... Haih... I'll give up for now. Waiting for my friend to online and ask for her help. Hope she can help me la...

How can this happen to me? I made a mistake....

It's none of your business!

2006-06-13T00:37:00.000+10:00

Another random thought...

I just dont undersatnd those people! I called them 'auntie' here. I supposed Malaysians know what I meant here. Well, they are those women who are like have nothing to do, except gossips on other people; comparing their own childrens with other people's children; etc.

They like to discuss on some matters and come out with some really ridiculous conclusion about them. They always thought they are right but in fact they are not.

Why would you bother about others people's habit? If he or she have the ability to spend, why must you comment on it? It's people's money and rights to buy whatever stuff they like, more importantly they are not spending your money. So, what is this to do with you? I wondered...

And also, what is the logic behind this? If someone is so called 'good at spending money', he or she can influence other people besides them to spend as well. Just dont make sense. Somemore, we are rational humans. Maybe you may think that women are just emotional, dumb, and shop blindly wihout considering. But i can tell you that you are wrong, absolutely wrong! At least, I'm not that kind of gals...

I admit that I love to shop a lot and it's my hobby, however I shop rationally. So, please stop your anecdotal ideas! And stop bothering others, because it's none of your business!

Holidays Are On!

2006-06-13T00:07:00.000+10:00

Finally, I finished all my exams & assignments.

Went to College Square and stay over at Yin Ci's place last Thursday. Helped May on her accounting essay, learned from her mum how to make egg tarts, and had some wonderful moments there.

I wished I could stay there as well. How wonderful it would be if I can stay outside, instead of here??? I wondered...

Never had that kind of life before... Really looking forward to it. Life where I have freedom; where I can learn to be independent; where I can cook myself and manage my own place; etc.

During my A-levels time in Taylor's College, I stayed with my uncle. Now, I stay with my aunt. Dont know when would I have the chance to stay outside alone or with friends, wihout having my relatives 'take care' of me.

It's not that they treat me 'badly', somehow they treat me well. And I appreciate it! But, sometimes conflicts can happen. I dont want to see those things affect our relationship. Just like what happen last year... That really bothers me and I dont understand why u guys can be so harsh to me??? Cant u have more trusts in me or am I really that bad in your hearts? Why must someone that I respect so much dont believe in me and yet blamed me for something that I did not meant to??? I'm really sad and down about it; until now, when I recall that incident, I still cant stop sobbing. Call me 'soft' but I cant help it. I cant stand people accusing me for something that is not true...

Just some random thoughts... I understand the difficulties of my family; I dont want to further burden them. Staying outside means extra expenses, a lot more as rental here are superb high. But, I just hope that my wishes will come true one day. So that I can have my own life, very own life...

My exams are over!

2006-06-06T20:58:00.000+10:00

Well, i finished both my exam papers.

I couldnt say more about the QM paper... It's equally disastrous or i shall say more disastrous than yesterday's Intro-Micro??? I dunno... I dunno how to do almost all MCQ. I end up 'tembak' the answers since I have no idea. Section B is rather okay, at least I know what to do, except for the last 2 questions...

Sigh...My friend was asking me: Do u think u can pass QM? I was like dunno how to answer... The paper will contribute 70% to the final grade. I got 28.75/30% for my assignment part. But I really dunno what will happen. I suppose i can pass... I hope so...maybe more than a pass?

Anyway, they are over and I cant change anything now. So, better work hard on my MPS essay! Aza aza fighting!!!

Disastrous Introductory Microeconomics...

2006-06-05T18:22:00.000+10:00

Just finish my first uni exam paper...

How was it??? No comments...

I know my performance, it's not that good. There's quite a number of MCQ i dunno how to do, the session B, i feel like i'm writing some craps, while session C, i cant finish the last question & i din really answer well. Overall, it's not good! Sigh...

Tommorrow, I'll have my last exam paper- Quantitative Methods 1. Feel like cant breathe now... I havent done any past year paper yet... Too lazy over the weekend! It's all my fault...

May God bless me... Everything will be ok 4 me & QM will be better!

Finished one and one more to go...

2006-06-03T00:48:00.000+10:00

I finished my Chinese studies final essay, the one about one-child policy. Officially done with it this morning at about 11am. YEAH!!! Quite relieved but really not sure how will it be. Really hope that I can get better marks for this essay (I got H3 for the previous one...sob...)

Anyway, nothing can be changed by now because it's already submitted. So, I got the Media, Politics & Society essay left, not forgetting my exams are on Monday & Tuesday. Most probably, I'll start doing the MPS essay this weekend, then finished it up after my QM exam end. Lucky I got an extension! If not, I dont know how am I going to cope with it...

Everyone out there: Wish me all the best for my exams (ehm...My goal are to get H1 for both intro-micro & QM...) and pray that I'll get good grades for my essay (at least a H2B...)!!!

Shopaholics....

2006-05-30T15:51:00.000+10:00

Well, my plan for today was suppose to be doing my China Since Mao essay at home & hopefully some studies for my commerce subjects. I already set my alarm clock at 9.30am. But it turn out like following:

Wake up by my aunt at bout 8.30am. She invite me to go Box Hill for breakfast. We go there by bus as she don't have the car today. The breakfast was good! Prawn Dumplings with Curry Egg noodles & Fried Fish noodles, both turn out very well.

Then, things turn mad for both of us. Well... I must admit that both of us are shoppers. In fact, I can say that the whole family ladies are addicted to shopping. I always conclude that this is genetically resembled my grandma who loves to shop too. Hehe...Just excuses. I simply love to shop!

First, we go in to this Giordano shop which we noticed earlier. Lots of cheap bargains there. All tees are reduced to $10. We bought like 9 pieces of tees there, they are something like Long John but of better qualities. Winter are coming, so we definitely need those to keep us warm, but the thing is we buy for my mum, my aunt & my grandma who lives in Msia as well. You must be wondering why? The reason is we cant resist the bargain. Sigh...

Next, we go to this shop in the new Centro Shopping Complex, dunno what's d name. Anyway, they sell cheap clothes too. I bought 2 coats there with very reasonable prices. Although, it's not branded (yes, I admit that I'm a bit towards the brand-conscious side), but I don't mind because all clothes sold in Australia are made in China anyway. That means even those highly priced, may be from the same manufacturer as well. So... Not forgetting, my aunt bought like 5 ladies top, 2 for herself and the else for her sisters & my mum.

Last but not least, we go to Katies, I suppose quite a famous brand name in Aussie. There is sales too. Again, cant help but continue buying although our hands are full! I bought 1 jacket + 1 shirt there, $20 each as we buy more than 2 pieces. So excited!

Later, we go to buy some fruits + veges + chicken, then lunch time. Eat again... I just cant stop eating in cold days. Sigh...When am I going to slim down???

That's the schedule of my shopping trip today. Guess, I got to stop here as I really need to start doing my essay & keep all the clothes bought just now...

Am I Lucky?

You have a high luck quotient.
More often than not, you've felt very lucky in your life.
You may be randomly lucky, but it's probably more than that.
Optimistic and open minded, you take advantage of all the luck that comes your way.

How Lucky Are You?

Time flies....

2006-05-27T22:50:00.000+10:00

Time flies wihout my awareness...

My first year semester 1 had finished technically as all my lectures & classes ended. Well, 5th june is my first exam day, Introductory Microeconomics, and then followed by Quantitative Methods 1 on the next day. Well, i'll thus probably call it a day since i got only 2 days of exam for my commerce subject.

But most probably i'll ask for an extension for the Media, Politics & society research essay. I havent even started yet!!! Hope i can get a decent extension to finish it up after my exams...

I havent start any revisions by now...sigh... I'm such a lazy person!!! I still have China Since Mao final essay and it's due next friday. Haih...I'm always a last minute 'hero', so to speak, never motivated to do my work until the last minute. Just cant change this bad habit of mine!!!

Well, suppose to finish this post here... Really have to force myself to start the essay now...

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

I love Cookies!

2006-05-24T00:03:00.000+10:00

You Are a Black and White Cookie

You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
When you're good, you're sweet as sugar. And when you're bad, you're wicked!

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

Do u think it's correct???

At first glance, people see you as warm and well-balanced.

Overall, your true self is reserved and logical.

With friends, you seem logical, detached, and a bit manipulative.

In love, you seem mysterious and interesting.

In stressful situations, you seem sad and helpless.

Shivering Cold...

2006-05-23T23:23:00.000+10:00

The days are getting cooler. They say this is winter weather. Haih...i dont really like it. Have to wear jacket everyday...so troublesome. Miss those days in Msia, when i can go out with t-shirt + short pants + slippers. Here, if i dare to go out with such attires, i think i might freeze outside.

I wanna buy more jackets! So that i can wear different jackets to Uni everyday. I'm sicked of wearing the same jacket. But, it's too expensive to buy jackets of my liking. Still searching for some nice + reasonable priced jackets...

Exams are coming in 2 weeks time, but i havent start revising. Sigh... I stil have 2 major essays to go for my arts subjects, again i havent really start to write. And yet, i'm blogging now. Cant help it! I'm so lazy...
