The final days

Wow. 2010. It's coming to an end. Another year is going to pass. Where does all the time go to? I felt like it's just yesterday that 2010 just started. In just a few snaps, it's gone. And I'm going to get ready to usher in the year 2011, my 3rd year in Australia, my 3rd year in UWA.

I just can't fathom that I'm going to finish my university life in 2 more years. And then I'll be getting along with the next phase of life. Work. Oh man. I don't want to think about it first.

I hope 2011 will be better than 2010. To be honest, I don't really remember what major happened in 2010. It was an okay year. But not a really great one. There were falling outs, new friendships, stronger friendships, infatuations and more. I guess that is just how I roll.

I'll be turning 21 next year too. In my opinion, that is the optimum age to be in. I don't want to grow older nor younger than 21. I want to stay there for the rest of my life. But then again, I might change my mind when time comes. Who cares though.

I want to end 2010 and start 2011 with a great bang. I want 2011 to be a good year. A year where I can find good relationships and good results. And not forgetting a good internship.

But still, I thank God for the year 2010. I learnt quite a lot of things this year. I learnt that I am actually expandable. I learnt that there are still many facets of people that I still don't know. I learnt that the best, has yet to come.

With that, I anticipate year 2011. The best, has indeed yet to come.

What if?

Life is full of what if(s). I find myself constantly asking myself. What if I did that? What if I told him that? What if I went to the states? What if I told her I loved her? What if I have continued on in the gangster group? What if I took drugs? What if I studied hard?

What leads on to what if questions? Regrets. And why do I have regrets? Because of choices I have made and the inability to see into the future. This reminds me of a poem which I think I have posted before in my blog. It's one of my favourite poem of all time. The road less travelled by Robert Frost.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

This is absolutely one of the best poem of all time. I am telling this with a sigh now. I take the road less traveled. Always. Since young. I went into Primary School, Secondary School, College and University without knowing many people beforehand. I just thrust myself into a world that I am unfamiliar with and I try to be resilient.

Is this a mistake? Is this why I always ask what if this and what if that?

People always tell me not to look into the past. If I look into the past, I would only see things that I missed and not look at things that I have obtained. Well, I can't help looking into the past. It's only when I see the things that I didn't achieved that I would appreciate the things that I have manage to do.

Life still goes on ayway

The aftermath

I just checked my results for my 4th semester in UWA. It's not a pretty site. It's probably one of the worst results I have ever gotten in my whole entire life. I flunk 3 of my units. Well, according to my standards, not uni standards. Gosh. This is bad.

I'm really failing uni. I'm not doing well at all. This is very very very bad. Is it time for me to quit uni? Should I just really quit uni? I'm like wasting my parents money here. I feel like a failure.

Oh well. Let this be a wake up call. I have to be more hardworking next semester already! Sigh. i know I have been telling myself this every semester. But I can't seem to set my priorities straight. God, help me please.

Knowing a 2nd Language

I'm working part time in a Japanese restaurant. It's quite fun to serve people. You get to see many different kind of people. Cheap people, wasteful people, funny people etc etc.

So when I work, I speak to customers with this fake-and-fail Australian accent. So, most of the people presume that I don't know other languages other than English. It's fun to listen in to their conversations. Some complain saying the food is little, some even asked one another why do I seem so scared. LOL.

I had 2 interviews in the past 2 weeks. None got back to me yet. Sigh. 1 from Maccas and 1 from Optus. I might get a response from Optus by tonight. Gosh. I really hope I get this job. I need a secure casual time job unlike my job in the Japanese restaurant. However, this week, I have been getting some afternoon shifts. So YEA! I have some income! Woohoo!!

IT'S THE HOLS!

The summer holidays are finally here. I can rest now finally. Finals was kinda harsh towards the end. It started off nice. Then it was downhill. But oh well. Results are going to come out in about 2 weeks time. I can only hope for the best.

I'm going back only on the 17th of January. Which means, I will celebrate my 21st bday here in Perth! I wonder who is left here to celebrate it with me...

I'm now in the mist of finding a new job. I had an interview with Maccas today. Hope I will get that job. Why do I need a job? BECAUSE OF CAR REPAIRS!

A few days ago, my car overheated and I sent it to the repair shop. After replacing the water pump and timing belt, I was told that the top part of my car's engine is kinda gone too. And guess how much it costs to change that part of the engine? 1.5k. Yes. You saw that right. 1.5k. Not $150. Sigh. I really need a job to cover that repair.

Other than that, I have the whole house to myself. I can walk around naked too if I want. Haha. Not that I do that, of course. There are both pros and cons to staying alone. But amazingly, I don't feel that emo staying alone. I feel just all right. Oh well. I guess I'm changing for the better.

Oh yeah. Last week, I went on a road trip up North. 12 hours drive. I drove 6 out of the 12 hours. It was quite tiring. We went ATV and snorkeling in this place called Coral Bay. The view was breathtaking. It was quite amazing to see God's amazing creation that is still somewhat left untouched by human hands.

I'm looking forward to going crabbing in mid December with friends. It should be fun catching crabs and then cooking it in the middle of the night. Yum yum.

A simple plea

Everyone has a dream. It doesn't whether is it a short term dream like passing the test that you have the next day, or is it a long term dream, like having the perfect family. A dream is still a dream. I constantly find myself pleading with God. Constantly whining, wanting something better than what I have now. At times, I might even question myself. Why isn't God answering?

Yea. I know that God has his own timing and that God will give you the BEST that he could give you. But still, I doubt. I question. I wonder. I'm guilty of doubts. I'm always doubtful, which leads to my indecisiveness.

But still, as time passes, I still hold on to the promise that He gave me. In Matthew 7:9-11, it says:
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give ood gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Not only this verse gives me hope. In Matthew 6:26, it says:
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

These two verses give me the strength to continue to seek Him in every single thing.

As exams approaches and the last of assignments are meant to be handed in, stress levels are rising. But yet, I believe, everything will turn out in my favor. Everything happens for a reason, and the reason is Him.

Oh man. This song. Brings back a lot of memories. The lyrics, in Mandarin are as below.

在你左右还要多久
怎么样才能让时间倒流
每一分每一秒都珍重
握紧的手不愿放松
十点半的飞机它在等候
不要再让自己的眼泪流
我必须要走
要记得

我们的故事真难忘
太多的回忆和希望
不管它有多疯狂
我愿意一生收藏
我们的故事不能忘
太多的情节要发展
不要放弃因为有一天缘份会继续
一定会继续

在你左右还要多久
怎么样才能让时间倒流
每一分每一秒都珍重
握紧的手不愿放松
十点半的飞机它在等候
不要再让自己的眼泪流
我必须要走
要记得

我们的故事真难忘
太多的回忆和希望
不管它有多疯狂
我愿意一生收藏
我们的故事不能忘
太多的情节要发展
不要放弃国为有一天缘份会继续

我知道你寂寞
一个人确实好难过
思念是一种痛
没有你叫我怎么活
身边充满诱惑
不坚定就容易犯错
你是否能看见未来的收获
你愿意再耐心等候

我们的故事真难忘
太多的回忆和希望
不管它有多疯狂
我愿意一生收藏
我们的故事不能忘
太多的情节要发展
不要放弃国为有一天缘份会继续
让我们一起演完

Listening to this songs, brings back my high school memories with my friends. I miss them a lot. I miss the times when we used to stay in the canteen to eat and chat. Sigh. Those were fun filled times. On my 18th birthday, they made me the best birthday gift ever. A scrap book filled with pictures and comments. Those comments reminds me of how I was during high school.

I wasn't the best person in high school. I swore a lot, talked a lot, laughed a lot. As bad as it might seem, but that was me. I have no idea where my old self has gone now. It seems like it has just disappeared. I miss those carefree days. Well, not really carefree. I still stressed and worried about school work. But I was with supportive friends. They are friends where I can tell them my secrets and be confident that they won't tell them out. Up till date, I think they were the only people that I told my life's greatest secret to.

They are really the angels in disguise that are around me. Gosh. I miss them loads. Life goes on. That is what everyone says. I understand that. But I can't help but think of the past. I know it's not good. But the past is what keeps me going. I miss them. They help me make me into what I am today. They were the best gift high school could ever give to me.

This post is dedicated to Zhi Heng, Jie Ying, Bi Yun, Li Ning, Jun Jie and Jun Wen.

Week Long (Or Should I say Short?) Holidays

Wow. In a blink of an eye, the holidays have ended. While I haven't really done a lot of things during this period of time, a lot of things happened. Let me start with a sad one.

Bryan, a friend of mine from High School, whom I knew since Form 1, passed away. I was very shocked when I learnt of the news. This is very sudden. Apparently he was cycling in US and he got hit by a trailier. And that trailer just went away. Just like that. After knowing about this, I realised that life, is short. Very short. This is the age where we all think we are capable of doing everything under the sun. Only the sky is our limit. But yet, we forget that death is cruel and quick.

Although I'm not that close to Bryan, and kinda lost touch after we left high school, I was still quite devastated by this news. This is the first time that I had a friend that kinda grew up with me (I have knew him since Form 1, and we were in the same class again in Form 5) has just passed away so sudden. It's a lost that I'm sure many will mourn.

On a lighter, yet pissed mode, I hereby announce that I'm going to be a loner, and find joy in being a loner. I'm going to change. I'm going to start to just care about myself and not for other people. Anymore. Period. Lately, a lot of things had happened that made me decide to do this. If I were going to continue to think like last time, I think I would not survive it and become insane. I'm making a change. Period.

Time just flies

I was just looking through my facebook pictures, and I started to think to myself. Wow. I have came a long way since. It has been a while since I've felt this nostalgic. I'm going to finish my second year in UWA soon. Which signifies my 2nd year in Perth, a land far away from home.

However, somehow, it doesn't feel like I have been away for that long. But with a more in depth of memory searching, I feel old. A lot of things has happened in such a short span of time. There was laughter, tears, sweat and blood. A lot of new friends were made and new lessons being learnt. I feel that I have matured a lot since I came here.

I don't think I can learn all of these back home in Malaysia. It seems so surreal that I stepped out of my comfort zone in Malaysia and came into a world which I never knew I would ever step into. Yea. Since young I have heard of the country Australia. And it ends there. I don't know the geography of Australia, I don't know the history of Australia. Heck! I don't even know the capital of Australia. The only thing I knew was that Kangaroos originated from Australia. And it ends there.

I never thought that I would one day be studying here in Australia. I'm thankful that I am able to be here. It is indeed a blessing to be able to be here. However, at times, I still do question my presence here in Perth. What is the reason that I am placed here? What is my role here? These questions, I still cannot answer.

I have another 2 more years here. Then it's me into the work force. Gosh! I would feel so lost then. I hate crossroads. It's so hard to decide which turning to take.

Of holidays, assignments and lab reports

My study break IS HERE! But it's gonna be crammed with studies, assignments and lab reports. Sigh. Study break my foot. I can just hope that I'm not procrastinating, just like now. LOL

Anyway, school timetable is out. I have a pretty shit timetable. 9th, 10th, 13th and 19th. It's just the first two that worries me. Oh well. I CAN DO IT!

OH YEA! SPRING IS HERE FINALLY! SO LONG COLD COLD DAYS! HELLO WARM SUN! I just love spring/summer. It's one of the best weathers ever. And the fact that the long holidays just add on to its appeal. Oh summery days! How I yearn for thou!

I should get going. Gonna go shower and go for a BARBIE! WOOHOO! THE FIRST FEW SIGNS THAT SPRING IS INDEED HERE!!!

Of wine and finger food

Nearly every single night now, there are convocations to attend. You can see the joy of people graduating from University, getting away from the stressful study environment and stepping into the cold cruel world of the working class life. Kinda saddening. Haha. But anyway, during that night, there are wine and finger food all around! A freeloader like me, will always grasp the chance to go nibble on some food or grab a glass of wine or two.

Looking at them, kinda makes me think what would my feeling be in about 2 more years time. Now, when I think of graduating, I feel kind of insecure and scared. Graduating is a huge thing in everyone's life. Once you graduate, you're gonna get a life that you're gonna be stuck with for the rest of your time on earth. One wrong move and it might be KABLOOOOOOOOOEY!

I'm a person who doesn't really like to step out of his comfort zone and into a weird environment. I'm scared of changes. I feel insecure when I don't know what is in store for me. I think when I graduate, I would feel very very lost. That time, I would be at crossroads with more junctions than I can imagine. Would I take the road less traveled or would I follow the norm of the world?

On a more present note, my parents are here! Well, technically were here. My dad flew back last night. My mom is still here. I want my own space back T____T My mom is nagging me day and night. Argh! So annoying! But on the plus side, I don't have to worry about food, laundry nor a dirty room =D

Give me a break

WHERE IS MY FREAKING STUDY BREAK?! WHY DON'T I SEE ANY STUDY BREAK COMING ANYTIME SOON?! THE FREAKING SEMESTER IS GOING TO END SOON AND THERE IS NO BREAK! WHY WHY WHY WHY?!

On a lighter note, my parents are going to come soon. Gee Gee. What am I going to do? Should I bring them around? Should I risk them knowing what 'evil' stuff I do here =D

I'm so bored now. I should be asleep but I have sugar rush at the moment. Stupid frozen coke from Maccas. So tempting. Couldn't resist the lure of the frozen coke. Sigh... I hate cravings. Speaking of cravings, I don't mind a cup of bubble tea now =D

Yes. I'm rambling non stop now. I think I'm going crazy.

OH YA! Something happened in the science library today. It was so hilarious. Prita and I laughed our asses off. But I shan't tell what is it. It's too yucky to tell. Yucky, yet funny. Oh man. What a gesture. LOL

Thinking

I've always thought that I have it hard in life. I have not a great voice, not a great mind, not a great body, not a great face. To sum it up, not a great person. I feel that I'm never going to succeed in life. I often feel that I'm a useless, pathetic prick, a good for nothing person who is on Earth to just waste the resources here.

Never once I thought to think how blessed I am actually. I have a family. I have close relatives. I have close friends. I have a roof over my head. I have food on the table. I have clothes to wear. I have both hands and legs. I have a voice. I can hear. I can smell. I can see. I can sense. Heck. I'm even overseas furthering my studies.

I'm very very blessed already. But yet I still complain and whine. Constantly. "I hate my life", "I'm emo", "I don't want to study", "I want that car", "I want that new handphone". I want this. I want that. I hate this. I hate that. Constant whining is always heard from my mouth. What a brat I am aye.

It's time for me to stop my whining. Pinch me if I whine. kthxbai

2 birthdays in a row

It was quite a fun night. First, we went and surprise Jordan, and then we went to Prita's house to surprise her. It was a fun day =D

It was a very hectic day for me. Morning, I woke up at like 7 to start baking with Shiyeng and Sinyee for Prita's and Jordan's cupcakes. We baked till like 10.40am. It was quite fun baking those stuff. We forgot to put in chocolate chips for the banana cupcake, which resulted in us baking some chocolate chip cookies. We made some icing for the cupcakes and GOSH! IT WAS SO FREAKING SWEET! 500 grams worth of sugar in that icing. Sugar rush much?

Anyway, after baking, I wanted to go gym and subsequently university to study. But of course, waking up at 7am took a huge toll on me and thus, I went back to bed and slept. Haha.

I went to church at around 4 something. Left early to head off to work at around 6pm. Work was hell tiring. Sigh. Earning money is so hard, but I have to do it. Cuz I have been wasting a lot of money lately. Work was really really hard. Hope to get a better job and a better paid one too =D

Anyway, after leaving my work, Jon Lim came and picked me up. And we set of to Myaree utopia to get Jordan's cake first. We first went to Prita's house to finish the cupcakes along with Prita's cousin. Then we all went to Jordan's house to surprise him. He was shocked to see us as Sinyee lied to him saying that we were waiting for people first. After doing a quick bday song, we adjourned to Prita's place.


We hid in the dark, cracked some dirty jokes, like always while waiting for Prita to come back. The first thing when she came back was that she noticed our shoes. We hid our shoes in the hall but then we thought that because it was dark, she couldn't see. But.. Sigh. Oh well. She was still shocked to see us all there. She only could say 2 sentences, repetitively. It was 'Oh my gawd!' and 'What the hell!'. It was kinda awkward as no one knew what to say. haha

All in all, I hope they had a nice bday surprise!

A Mixed Feeling

I don't know what I am experiencing now. It's a mixed feeling. It's not emoness, nor it's happiness. I don't know what brought on this feeling too. I don't understand this. What is happening to me? I really don't know. But 1 thing is for sure is that this is NOT emoness.

Anyway, I'm into my 3rd week of uni and oh boy. Assignments are starting to come in and I don't know how to do them. I'm so scared. My heart is not really prepared for this sem yet. I need to study, but yet where is the motivation?!

Also on a side note, I've been contemplating some stuff about my life. It's probably high time that I change some stuff. But I don't know. Sigh. I'm so indecisive. I'm really really really indecisive.

I think this sem is another 'special sem' for me. Every semester in UWA brings a new flavour into my life. And this semester is no different, at least up till now. This semester, I have to learn how to be patient while dealing with some people. This semester is also a semester whereby I want to meet more locals. I actually want to attend a church where is predominantly locals. I want to feel like I'm in Australia, and not in an Asian country. Sigh. But I'm like so lazy to change church. And scared too. I should not be scared of change, I know. But... SIGH

LOL. I think I have been complaining a lot here xD

To tilt the balance back, I'm going to attend an event that is at Hilton Hotel soon =D I hope I can socialize a lot there and know a lot of people! Can't wait for it. I can dress up too!!!!

Oh well. I should be getting ready for church now. It's going to be a long long long night. Tell you why in the next post.

2nd Week

It's now the second week of uni. I'm feeling very bored. Very very very bored. I know I said that I would study every week. But the heck about it. I don't feel like studying yet. I'm so lazy and I'm a very good procrastinator. Assignments, thank God hasn't really piled up yet. I hope that there won't be many assignments.

Oh yea. On a bright side, I got a car. A 3k 2nd hand car. A white Holden Barina. I'll upload the photo of the car someday soon. Can't be bothered at the moment xD

What else should I blog about?

I got sick last week because after eating fish and chips (It's quite heaty), I drank in a dark chocolate dip (makes me even more heatier). Thus, I had a sore throat which escalated into a mild fever, then a mild flu. I'm getting better now though.

My life is pretty much not eventful at the moment. But then again, my life is never eventful. Should I open a can of worms into my life? Should I invite drama into my life? Would I be able to cope up with dramas in my life? I think not.

Anyhows, I've kinda succeed in not being emo for the past 2 weeks! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

First day of uni!

It's the start of a new semester! A new semester brings in a new shocking news =D
The day went on quite slowly actually. Nothing interesting happened. But this new semester, I have quite a few new resolutions. I plan to go to class EVERYDAY for the WHOLE SEMESTER, study EVERY SATURDAY FOR THE WHOLE SEMESTER.
I wonder if I would keep up my resolutions or not.

Oh ya. I joined the gym starting this semester. I plan to buff myself up before I go back to Malaysia again. I've been growing fatter and fatter. It's time for me to tone up my body. Since I left high school, I have been saying that I want to enroll myself in a gym but never really got around to do it. BUT NOW IT IS DONE! I want to have a fit, toned nice body.

Wish me luck =D

With this new semester, I pray for a good good good good semester =D

Sigh....

Holidays passes so fast! Soon, I'm going back to the place where I dread. It's not that I really hate Perth, but it's just too boring and new restrictions arose there. I want a car! But the financial status of my family actually don't really allow me. Sigh.

Yesterday I went out with some of my high school friends. We were chatting. I found out that I'm actually quite out of touch with most of them. There were a lot of things that happened in their lives that I didn't know. It's quite sad that I didn't really made the effort to just probably call them from Australia. Note to self: Take notice of people's life more. But anyway, I had a lot of fun just crapping with them and trying to make fun of each other, just like old times.

I learnt a lesson. No matter how much things has changed, some things that is the core to the friendship will never ever change. I'm quite glad that some things never change, thus I have something to cling on when I'm scared or worried.

I'm going back to Perth this Friday! To be happy or sad, I will choose neither. I hope by then my happiness scale would be fully replenished so that I could slowly use up the stored happiness there xD

I'm going home

it's 2.34am now and I'm still awake. Why? WHY?!! BECAUSE I'M GOING HOME TO MALAYSIA SOON! OMG! I'M JUST SO FREAKING EXCITED! VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY EXCITED! My flight is at 6.50am. AND I'M GOING HOME!!

How low?

How low would you stoop to just to survive? I was faced with quite a few scenarios today. It made me think. How low would you go just to live?

Scenario 1: McDonalds in the city.
There was this lady, whom I presume to be a homeless person. She came in McDonalds and ate the leftovers. This is pretty degrading I should think. Would I stoop to that level just to get food? I think I would rather have my dignity. This makes me feel so thankful that I have parents who support me through my life. Because of them, I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in regardless where ever I am at.

Scenario 2: Work.
I was kinda being pushed around at work. But still, I managed to maintain a smile. It makes me think of those people who work hard for a living. Many people I believe might be working in an environment where they hate it. They might need to do the jobs they hate just to get by. Well, this is just like a step better than the homeless lady that I met.

These 2 scenarios that I met with made me think quite a lot. Probably it's because I'm too bored. I don't know. But I wonder how low would I go just to be able to survive. How low would YOU go?

Why?

Why can't I be in many places at once? If only there is a kind of potion that can strip myself into many instances of myself, that would be great. Then I would put 1 of me in Malaysia, 1 of me in Perth and 1 of me in US. This, is wishful thinking.

Everytime I see facebook, I see pictures or statuses of events that I couldn't attend because (a) I'm in another continent (b) I have other social obligations. I know that I shouldn't feel sad or something, but still there is this longing feeling in my heart to be together with friends all the while. It's not possible, but yet I can't help wishing for it.

The other day, I was chatting with Soon Khai through MSN. Oh gash. We had so many memories of our high school teachers and tuition teachers. It was quite fun trying to remember what happened in high school. There were so many fun and funny memories, and of course there were some bitter memories that I remembered but I didn't share. But with the existence of bitter memories, it is then we only know the existence of happy memories.

Now that I have kinda moved on to University, I have started to wish that I'm back in high school. I guess the past still has some bondages upon me. But I don't wanna do anything. I want to remember the fun times we all had during high school.

I miss my high school friends.

Kalbarri

I'm back from a sorta relaxing trip back from the North. However, at this moment, I don't have any means of transferring my photos into my computer as I don't have the camera cable nor a CF card reader. Sigh... Oh well. Photos can wait, I guess.

So, the trip was quite a fun one. My car, driven by Aldrin, had so much fun. We kept talking some dirty topics in the car on the way to Kalbarri. Sad to say that I either started the topics or added oil onto fire for the topics. Well, you know me. Haha. And the best part was that we managed to hit 2 kangaroos. We killed 1 and the other 1 got away alive still. It was scary yet fun at the same time.

ATV was quite fun as I love to speed. Although the highest speed I could achieve was 70kmh, it was actually quite exhilarating. The wind blowing towards you, getting sand in your mouth (and eyes if I weren't wearing my sunnies), all in all it's a very fun and good experience.

I, too, went for horse riding. It's my first time on a horse. It was quite scary at first. Apparently my horse (its name is Patrick) is quite a rogue horse. But glad to say that it wasn't bad. I managed to control my horse, quite well too, I might add. When we went cantering (or in plain easy vocab, horse racing, in a way), it was fun! Your bum was seldom on the saddle and if you don't hold on to the reins well, you would fall off. Sad part is that Eunice fell off her horse. Hope she is all right.

If only deep sea fishing was cheaper, I would have went for deep sea fishing too. Deep sea fishing sounded like loads of fun, albeit the motion sickness some people, especially my housemate Wen Jun, experienced. Sigh. Why must it be AUD150. If only it is less than 100, I think I would have went. It would be a fun experience to be added on to my life here in Perth.

At night, we played games like Puerto Rico and Jungle Speed. I can't really play Puerto Rico as it is a strategy game and it's a game that seriously tests your patience as it is a very slow paced game. It's kinda like a double whammy for me as I'm not that good at strategy game because I'm not patient enough to think. Which is why I enjoyed Jungle Speed so much. It's a very fun game as it tests your reflexes. Oh gosh. This game gave me such a sore mouth as I kept laughing non stop. It's so hilarious to see people hesitate and not grab the totem in the middle.

The sceneries in Kalbarri, to tell you the truth, wasn't that at all impressive I guess. I'm not really a scenery kind of person. Some of it were amazing, but it grew boring after like 1 second. For me, I believe that if you seen it once, you've seen it all. But still, some of it are quiet nice, I don't deny it.

While I was doing my quiet time up there, I was actually quite troubled as I had to make a decision with my life. I don't think this is the suitable place to post my problem. However, all that I can say is that I'm waiting for a sign from him now. If I get that sign, I would have to proceed with the procedures. If the sign says no, I would have to throw out that mind set forever and ever and probably a day.

And so...

the holidays commence. Sigh. There is no empty feeling nor is there an ecstatic feeling. I think I'm getting old. Long gone are the days where I anticipate the last day of exams because I'm going to play. But then again, I have nothing much to look forward here in Perth, hence this I guess.

But anyway, on the brightly lit side, sunny side up, I'm going on a roadtrip to a place called Kalbarri. Apparently it's 5 hours up north from Perth. I'm gonna be there for 5 days and 4 nights. I hope I have fun there. I borrowed a DSLR just to take pictures there. Hehe.

I just finished packing my luggage bag there. Sigh. I found out that I'm such a tech freak. I'm bringing 3 different chargers - Iphone/Ipod charger, PSP charger and my camera battery charger. If I were to bring my laptop there, I would be even a geekier geek. AND to top it off, I brought a comic book along to read too when I'm bored. Haha. Nerd + geek. What a great combination aye?

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

World Cup has STARTED!!!! For those who thinks that I don't watch football, you're wrong. I watch world cup. Haha. It's a once in a 4 year event, thus I have the heart to watch it (I know I know, translated straight from mandarin, but who cares). The world cup song is quite catchy. I quite like it xD

On a darker side, and a more emotional side, I don't know why but lately I have been having loads of mood swings. I don't know what triggers it but I know it's very very dangerous for me and for the people around me. I'm just a ticking bomb ready to, well, bomb. Haha.

Oh well. I guess it's back to packing my backpack! I'm gonna put foodddddddd into it =D

Hope I'll upload the pics here when I come back!

Just plain uh....

This is going to be a very short post regarding what I heard =D

At Hungry Jacks...

Customer: Can I have some sauce?

Cashier: Yea. Sure. What sauce do you want?

Customer: I don't know.

and today at Dick Smiths...

Sales person: So do you want a laptop or a desktop?

Customer: I want a desktop that looks like a laptop.

OMG! HOW DUMB CAN YOU GET?!

No offence... =D

The last paper tomorrow

Tomorrow is my last paper. Yay. Hm... I don't feel any enthusiasm at all. Sigh. I don't know why, but I'm not feeling that ecstatic that tomorrow is my last paper and that after tomorrow, I would be free from finals for the time being. I remember last time I would be so happy that I would be literally jumping with joy.

It reminds me of my primary 6 UPSR. UPSR is a government paper that all primary 6 students have to sit for. I remember vividly that it was the night before my last paper. I was so happy that I could not sleep at all that night because after that paper, I would be heading off to the shopping mall with my friends to watch a movie. I was so happy.

Fast forward to high school. I remember after EVERY single big exams (mid sem and finals), my friends and I would happily shout for joy and walk together to the bus stop outside our school. We would take the bus and the train to Times Square or Sungai Wang or Mid Valley or KLCC. But no matter where we go, it's pretty much the same things that we do. Eat, go for karaoke or watch movie. But the hell with it. It was fun.

I remember if we went for karaoke, most of the rooms would be occupied by people from our school, and the chances are high that we know those people. We would literally go into every room and sing a few songs or something. And the best part? Most of us are in school uniform, unless the place that we go requires us to be in our casual clothings or which most of us bring it to school to change too. Haha.

And on to college. After every semester finals, it's off to FTZ (a cyber cafe opposite college) or it's off to Sunway Pyramid to watch movie or for a karaoke session again. Not much difference from high school. But the huge difference is that most of the people in college have cars. So, going to places is kinda like a breeze, apart from the stupid jams that we always encounter in KL or Selangor.

AND NOW.... In uni.... After my last exams, what plans do I have? Go back home and sleep... HOW LAME!

Sigh

I'm having my second paper this Thursday. I have a lot of stuff to study and I believe I'm studying the least between my friends at the moment. But somehow, I just can't find the motivation to study now. It is just so depressing. I got such bad results for the mid semester exam and yet now I still don't want to buck up. Like seriously. What is wrong with me.

It's times like this that I miss the good old times where stuff just comes easily. It's so much easier to understand it last time. Probably it's because I had teachers and lecturers alike spoonfeeding me with information, unlike now, of which I have to study by myself. I know I probably should whine, but still, I can't help it.

I need to find my motivation, and fast.

On a lighter note, that day, while we were at the computer lab for mechanical students, Prita said something very funny yet disturbing. In Australia, there is a kind of energy drink called Mother. It is actually quite strong. But anyway, Jon Lim was drinking this. So, naturally, Prita asked Jon, "Hey Jon? Can I try your Mother?". That instant, I cracked up. Hillarious.

In times of exam

Now is the exam season! ! Deck the halls with boughs of textbooks, fah la la la la la la la la. And like a normal student, I'm under quite a lot of stress during exams. Why? Because:

1. I skip classes

2. I never do assignments

3. I never have the motivation to study until 1 day before the exam.

Thus, you can see how gg-fied is my life aye. But thank God, I have a few places to draw strength from.

1. FACEBOOK! Yea. It's the best place to destress, and, of course, to waste time. Haha. I seriously don't know what I'm doing on facebook apart from playing Bejeweled Blitz everyday to kill time. Sigh. I should quit it hey.

2. Music. I love music. Although I sound like a toad with sore throat croaking when I sing, I still love to sing. Singing is my passion, albeit I'm not that good at it. Haha.

3. Iphone games. IPhone is one of the best (or is it the worst?) investment that I have ever made. It's so fun! There are just so many games that I got (illegally, I might add =D) on my phone that could keep me occupied for days!

4. Sleep. A few years back, I would think that sleeping is a waste of time. And I still do. But then again, my body doesn't agree with me. I tend to sleep a lot now. I blame the cold-ish weather here in Perth. It makes me want to hibernate.

5. Energy drinks and coffee! Where would I be if they don't exist? IN BED SLEEPING MY ARSE OFF! But then again, if I had too much caffeine, I would be too hyper and keep playing games instead of studying. Which is, another sad sad case. Reminds me of Form 5 SPM. I drank coffee to study sejarah. But in the end, I stayed up the whole night playing games. And the next morning, I drove to school and took the exam. Got a B in the end. Oh well.

6. Photos, personal gifts and memories. I draw a lot of strength from these. Looking back at my life, I had many high and low points, of which I have the privilege of sharing it with many different friends. I look back at photos, I remember the times where we had fun, the times where we, too, mugged for exams, the times where we ate together, the times where we were sad because of leavings, the times where we were glad because we still could see each other during gatherings. I miss those times. It was great.

7. God. I think before most of my exams, I pray to calm myself down. When I'm just too anxious, I would even take the bible up and flip it to random verses to read, to draw strength from. I feel so much at peace after that.

I think I should be getting back to my studies. Wish me luck people.

Pre-exam post

Tomorrow is my first paper! at 2pm, I would be taking my first final paper of the year, Math 2040. Sigh. When did maths started to get this hard? I miss the days gone by where the only thing I needed to know about maths are addition and subtraction. I don't even wanna know multiplication nor division.

I just can't seem to find the motivation to study. Well, technically, I've studied most of the stuff. But yet, there is this nagging feeling in me that I've forgot something. Why why why why..

Probably I should take the finals by faith rather than by knowledge....

Oh well people. Wish me luck.

Wishlist

Sigh. I don't know why, but I want to buy some of the following stuff! Anyone wants to give them to me?

1. DSLR
2. Netbook
3. Car

Sigh. My taste is getting more and more expensive. Oh no. I'm a big spender. I'm evolving!

Mission possible?

Mission statement:
Exams are coming soon. First paper 5th June, Maths. Second paper 10th June, Civil. Third paper 15th June, thermodynamics.

Mission status:
Less than 5% for each subject.

Projected mission outcome (done by me):
Fail

Projected mission outcome (done by me and JESUS!):
ACCOMPLISH

Sigh. Exams coming. Materials not finished yet. Dear God. I pray that I know that you'll be next to me in thick and thin. Grant me wisdom and bless me with abundance of knowledge. In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.

IT'S THE LAST DAY OF MY 3RD SEM

It's the last day of my third semester here in UWA!

Now, STUDY FOR FINALS!!!

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

~Robert Frost

The Horror...

I'm an avid listener to Hitz.fm. Even when I'm here in Australia, I always listen to that radio station online.

Today, as always, I was happily going to the website. And look what greeted me.

It's Justin Bieber! NOOOOOOOOOO. I'm not a great fan of him. Sorry. Listening to a voice that hasn't hit puberty singing that belongs to a guy makes me feel like a gay pedophile.

Warman...

So there is this unit that I'm currently taking, it's called the Warman Unit. It is a very #@&^*^& unit. Technically, everyone is divided into groups of 4. And each group has to come out with 2 devices. Device A shall transport rice in a container to a designated area and lift it up an elevation of about 40cm high. Then Device B shall go and collect the container.

I HATE NO FREAKING IDEA HOW TO DO IT

I fail as an engineer. It's because of this unit that I think I'm not cut out for this unit. It just keeps demoralizes me. Like seriously. I don't wanna take engineering anymore because of this UNIT! It makes me feel that I'm a dumb, good for nothing student. Which technically is right, I might add. Haha. But putting that point aside, I just feel stupid doing this unit!

I wanna fly to US to continue my studies. Maybe I should have done that in the first place ay. Perth is just too boringgggggg.....

ANYWAY

Prita and I made a paragraph of a song for Warman. It's not complete though. It goes along with the tune of 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Greenday. Take note. It's just the first paragraph.

I walk this lonely road,

the only one a Warman student walks

Don't know where it goes,

But its hell on earth and I walk alone.

We need to transfer rice,

From the bottom table to the top,

Countless sleepless nights,

room one five seven you are my home...

And it stops there. Haha. We don't know how to continue. We, too, have another unfinished song, going to the tune of 'If I Were a Boy' by Beyonce. This song we made is a bit gross though...

If I were 5 years old,

I would piss everywhere

Don't care what people think

Because I am 5 years old.

Leave a yellow trail,

so my parents could find me,

I might even leave a poop along,

just because I am 5 years old

Haha. It's hillarious xD

Part of my life, Primary School

I was looking at Prita's latest post and I felt kinda nostalgic. I went to my facebook, and I saw that there were 1538 pictures of me! That is hell crazy. Haha. As I started to browse through the pictures, I was overwhelmed by many different emotions. So many memories were created everywhere.

One of the pictures was me when I was 7 years old. When I saw that, my memories immediately transported me back to primary school and those stupid things we did. I remember I was quite close to this group of girls which led to some jealousy matters. Some of the guys in the class hated me because I was close to the girl which apparently he took a liking in. It makes me wonder sometimes did we understand the meaning of love that time.

There was this incident in primary 6 which will always remain in my head. Some of my friends and I were quite interested in the series Charmed. Gosh. Were we so into the show. Charmed is a show which talks about the supernatural world, about witches, warlocks, demons and stuff. I still remember vividly we took an exercise book and wrapped a white paper around the cover, and called it our 'Book of Shadows', and wrote down all our 'spells'. We performed some of it in school, behind our tuition class. Sigh. The ignorance. I remember this particular spell 'Water water everywhere, evaporate in the air'. We did it over a puddle of water. After 1 hour, we went back and it has evaporated. We were amazed. I feel so stupid now. Because of course it will evaporate. Duh. The sun was scorching hot. Haha.

I remember there was this friend who had this dream. I think it was a bad dream etc etc. Then I think I started calling her Pure Evil. Don't ask me why. And some of my friends started calling Holy Man. Haha. Thinking back, it is actually quite hillarious. I've totally forgot about it until Brenda Chan MSN-ed me that day asking me why did they call me Holy Man last time. Haha. The wonders of little kids.

Ah. The ignorance of a little kid. I wonder what happened to the 'Book of Shadows'. We kinda grew out of it. Of course, it's against the teaching of Christianity, of which at that time I wasn't really aware of it, I think. It's quite fun to think back and reminiscent about it.

I still remember in Primary school, we started this 'library in class' thingie. Everyone brought these few books to class and were to leave it in class so that everyone could borrow. I remember so many of us lost our books, and probably some of us gained some extra books. It was kinda stupid xD

Oh ya. One of the highlights of my days in primary school was 'The Sixers'. We kinda published our own magazine. But, actually we were kinda infringing on some copyright issues as we took some parts of other magazines and published it. Haha. I don't really remember all the people doing it. I only remember Brenda, Lili and PCK. Speaking of PCK, I wonder how is he doing in Canada. I hope he is all right. But back to 'The Sixers'. We published like 4 issues of it. We sold it 10 cents per issue, I think. Haha. Heck cheap. We don't print that many issues though. So, it's quite cool =D. I still have all 4 issues back home in Malaysia.

Sigh. Those were the days in primary school!

This shall remain untitled

In a blink of an eye, more than half a semester has passed. Wow. When did time pass that fast? How did I managed crawl through time while not noticing that it has overtook me by leaps and bounds? Sigh. It still eludes me how time chooses its own pace to pass.

Lately, I've gotten myself an Iphone =D. Bwahahahaha. It's quite an awesome phone. Quite nice to use. Currently not regretting getting it yet. But then, getting this Iphone has set me back quite a lot. Sigh. I vowed to use less money. But yet... WHY AM I A COMPULSIVE SPENDER??!!!

Anyway, I still have a few more weeks till my finals. I should start to get scared. But still, I skip many classes and tutorials. Sigh. Can I ever stop procrastinating? It's kinda sickening...

Nothing fun happens in my life. It's always the same old same old. Life has became such a routine for me that I can just go through it without opening my eyes. Hm... I miss the good old days. Why am I always reflecting back to the old days? Those are days gone by and I should stop thinking about it already!

Oh. Something I just remembered happening in class one day. We were in drawing class where we were supposed to draw the Vitruvian man. Those who doesn't know, it is

Anyway, we were given a handout showing this guy. After turning the page to this picture, Joseph Ning started to nosebleed. Adrian and I were saying that Joseph was feeling high after seeing the painting of a naked man. Talk about coincidence. Haha.

At the moment, my life seems dull xD

Till then!

Wow

It's already mid semester. How did time manage to pass me by so quickly?! In just a few blinks of my eye, 6 weeks has passed by since uni started! And I'm now actually quite behind my studies =D

Darn. I have only 1 week of holidays and a lot of stuff to do. I hope I won't procrastinate and not do all my stuff xD Here is the small list of stuff to do.

1. Lab report

2. Catch up with Thermo

3. Catch up with Civil

4. Arts in Engineering assignment

5. Drawing assignment

6. Warman project

7. Catch up with Maths

8. Clean up my room

OH CRAP! JUST REMEMBERED MY CIVIL ASSIGNMENT DUE TOMORROW!

GOT TO GO!

Different Worlds

I have came up to a deduction. My housemates and I come from a different world. In this household, there are 3 person. And I live in a different world from the two other housemates. Our lifestyles are pretty much different. Which leads me to this question. Did I make the right decision to move in with them for the next 3 years of my life? At the moment, I think I might have made a drastically wrong decision, a wrong decision of which I must suffer the consequences for the next 3 years of my life.

So yea. I pretty much think that I have made the wrong decision to have move in with them. But I reckon it's quite late to move out from this decision. Pun! Notice the pun!!! =D

So now comes the next 'BIG' question. How do I right this wrong?

Honestly, I don't know.

Some people might just tell me to 'MAN UP AND DEAL WITH IT! THIS IS LIFE!'. Well, I'm not saying they are wrong. But I think this is a decision that will affect quite many areas of my life. To some people, it might seem petty. But to me, it has quite a huge impact on my little life. I can choose to just walk out from this problem. But that is the easy way. It's not too good to do that I guess.

I can only blame myself at the moment. Why did I make the stupid decision. At that time, it seem so good. I wasn't aware of any repercussions that came with me moving in with them. I thought that because I was taking the same discipline with them so it'll be easier for me. BOY OH BOY was I ever wrong.

It just made me felt even more ostracized.

Probably I'm not used to being like this. I don't know and at this rate I'm going, I think I might go bonkers before I know what am I thinking. Sigh...

Why does this happen to me?

Save me please?

It's week 3...

And I'm already way behind my studies. LOL. I can only blame myself. I kept snoozing my stupid alarm thus I skipped quite many classes. Sigh. Where did my resolution to not to skip class go to? It's buried deep in the abyss already. Haha.

Anyway, I'm so reluctant to work. But then, I have to work for extra money. Why can't I have an infinite source of money? If only I have an infinite source of money, I WOULD BE RICH! Duh. LOL. I would seriously go on a splurging frenzy buying everything that catches my eyes. That, would be nice.

The weather here in Perth is getting cooler now as compared to the first few days I was back in Perth. I hope autumn will come slightly sooner. I'm a person who likes the weather to be not too hot and not too cold. Thus, the weather during the start of autumn is always the best. Spring is not too bad too, if not for the hayfever that I get.

I guess I should be back to my studies now xD

ARGH

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!

This semester is BAD! Why? BECAUSE I HAVE THIS STUPID UNIT THAT REQUIRES ME TO DRAW! For those who know me quite well, they would know that I can draw nothing. I can't even draw straight lines or even nice circles. The only thing I can draw is squiggly little lines. THIS IS BAD! Drawing consist about 50% of this unit! Can someone come and kill me like now?

Oh ya. I might be starting to work soon =D It's 10 dollars per hour. Not much, but still some side income. And I've joined the church choir again. Gonna perform in 2 weeks time at 'Freshies Welcome' at church. Whee. Being in choir is actually quite fun. Life shall be hectic this year!

Back in Perth

I'm finally back at the dreaded place again. I used to feel that Perth is a bad place. However, a year later, added along with a bunch of friends, it's actually not really a bad place. I guess places are only boring when you don't have friends to enjoy with. Of course, that is only what I think. Some people find joy in being loners. Being a loner is not what I like.

Sigh. All things aside, University classes is going to start soon. 3 more days! On Monday, I have class from 8 till 5. It's something like working hours already. But thank God, I have 3 hours break, I think. This year's timetable isn't that good. I don't really like it. I'm only taking 4 subjects and the contact hours (or credit hours) are A TRUCK LOAD!

However, I look forward to going back to classes and jump start my brain again. My brain hasn't been working much for about 3 months now. Even that day when April asked me a calculus question, it took me 5 minutes for me to actually think about the question. I've become a SLOWPOKE! =D

Not sure what else to update. Will update after uni starts again =D

Changes

Changes. It's everywhere. The sun rises in the morning, sets at night and the moon comes up in place of the sun. Changes. Changes are all around you. It still happens whether you like it or not. The world wouldn't come to a complete halt if something bad happens to you, nor will a place stop changing whilst you're not at that place.

I went to Inti Subang Jaya at SS15 today. Gosh. It was some trip down memory lane. I still remember about 2 years ago I just started out college. I wake up at about 6 something in the morning, get out of the house by 6.30am just to beat the jam and reach college at 7am. Sit at the concourse while waiting for the rest of the gang to reach. I miss those days.

A lot of changes can be seen within this 2 short years. People that I once know studying in Inti has gone away. There was just a few familiar faces there. New shops around SS15 pop-ed out in my absence from Inti for a year. Sigh. Thinking of this gives me a twinge of sadness. The more I think about it, the sadder I get. Emo~~~

I guess all good things must come to an end. The world is an endless vicious cycle and I'm currently caught in the cyclone. When a door closes, another opens. Changes are sometimes for the better, but at times, it is also for the worse.

I often wish I can turn back time to relive the happiest moments of my life. The happiest moments of life are quite fleeting. But I guess life must have a balance of happy moments and sad moments. A dynamic life is what makes a person, well, a person.

I tell people to stop looking into the past. I'm not a person who takes my own advice. Haha. I find myself looking into the past, many a times trying to relive it, but yet I know it's impossible, which makes me go down to an even worse mood. When would I take my own advice?

I seriously need to pull myself together. It's a new year and I plan to excel in this year's studies. God help me. I pray.

Last day in Singapore

I can't believe this. After all this while, I'm finally heading home. Home, as in Malaysia home. Who cares about my Perth home at the moment? I'm actually having some mixed feelings. I've been here in Singapore for like 2 months or so. A lot of memories were created here. New experiences, new friends, new everything were forged here. I actually had a wonderful time here in Singapore.

I'm lucky I went to Zion. If I didn't join Zion, I wouldn't have known many Singaporeans. God really works in wonderful ways. It's just so amazing how God's plan falls into place after like a year or so. I guess God is really working in my life, albeit me not seeing it in the smaller picture.

I'm now at Changi airport waiting for a friend to have my 'last meal' here in Singapore. I actually am thinking of coming back to Singapore for holidays this year end. Or probably another internship here in Singapore. I can't believe I'm going to miss this place.

There are so many people that I want to thank for my wonderful experience here in Singapore. Without those people, my Singapore experience wouldn't be the same. Haha. Too lazy to name some names here but i think you would know who you are.

All good things must come to an end anyway. Me leaving Singapore ends a small chapter in my life. Quite a good chapter of my life actually. I wouldn't really mind going over this part again.

Nostalgic feelings washed over me while I was taking the MRT towards Changi Airport. MRT was my best friend, in terms of transport of course. As I was passing by the stations, i can't help but remembering what happened in each station. It's all still fresh in my mind.

Anyways, I'm getting off blogger now. Haha. Gonna go grab some food while waiting for my friend. Till then. My next post would be from HOME.

START OF MY HOLIDAYS!

I could finally start to enjoy my holidays prior to my recommencement at UWA. Haha. Woohoo!

Not much time to type a post, BECAUSE I WANNA ENJOY!

Reasons to drink alcohol on a daily basis

Monday: Monday blues. Drink to forget.
Tuesday: Residues of monday blues. Drink to clear everything off.
Wesnesday: Mid of weekday. Drink to celebrate as you managed to survive till the mid.
Thursday: The starting of the downhill week. Drink to get ready yourself.
Friday: The last day of weekend. Drink to celebrate the coming of the weekends.
Saturday: The first day of the weekend! Who doesn't party on this day?
Sunday: The last day of the weenend. Drink, as Monday blues is about to come.

What do you think? Valid reasons to drink all day aye?
Sigh. I need some drinks now. Someone spare me some?

5 more days...

and I'LL BE FREE FROM WORK! LIBERATION! EMANCIPATION! Can you smell freedom? It's slowly drifting towards me! How awesome! To add on to the wonders of quitting, I get my pay check on that same day too =D

But please please please don't let me spend too much money. Sigh. I have very bad money management skills. I'm like so dead.....

I'll be counting down the days! Count with me? xD

9 more days...

Oh yeah baybeh! 9 more days till my last day of work. Gosh. I can't wait for it. I should have the awesome-est feeling that day. That glorious day awaits me while I salivate my way there.... SLOWLY

Anyway, being here in Singapore is actually quite awesome as I have so many awesome friends here. If it weren't for them, I guess my Singapore experience would be really shitty =D

I'll post more on my feelings about my 2 month stint in Singapore when I'm close to leaving. As of today, I still have 2 more weeks till I go back and see my beloved doggie =D

ANDDDDD

I'm going to get my pay check in 9 days time. Btw, sorry for jumping here and there. My thoughts aren't collected tonight.

What am I going to do with my money, you ask? Well....

1. Get a guitar. I want to compose my own songs again =D

2. Get a watch. I want a watch that has altitude etc etc. It looks awesome.

3. Get a handphone. I want a touch screen phone =D

4. Get more clothes. I've always loved clothes shopping.

That is probably my little list. But then again, this will eat all of my pay already xD

A first post as a 20 year old guy

This is my first post as a 20 year old guy. Gosh. No more 1*. Probably as Carlos said, "Two... is better than one" =D

My birthday this year was a very new and unexpected experience. But one thing for sure. If I never went to Perth, I wouldn't have this new kind of birthday celebration. It's always times like this when I'm in awe of His plans. Everything just fits in perfectly. It's like wow. His plans are always flawless. I'm so amazed by these. I guess I'm learning new things everyday.

I celebrated my birthday with all Singaporeans from Zion, and 2 from CHC. They gave me 8 tasks to do. Super embarrassing I tell you. I don't remember the sequence of the tasks, but here are some that are very embarrassing.

1. Go up to 3 strangers and get them to sign on my arm

2. Go up to a stranger and tell them a joke. They have to laugh out loud.

3. Go up to 5 male strangers and ask them for the color of their underwear.

These 3 were the bad ones. However, I'm proud to say that I managed to do it all. I'm quite sporting aye. But I noticed something bad about it. When I'm scared, I can't construct proper English sentence. All my words lump together and even I don't understand it myself. Gosh. I've gotta brush up on my public speaking skills.

Anyway, in this 20th year on Earth, I plan to do quite a lot of things. It's probably time for me to leave an impact on the world. But how do i impact the world? Probably by starting small. Even the smallest thing matters. This is my vision for my 20th year on Earth. Change something in the world.

3 more torturous weeks!

I have 3 more weeks at work! Sigh. I hope time at work would pass faster. I really really really don't wanna work anymore. I just wanna take a rest. I just feel like quitting it this instant, however I do feel bad. It is because I promised the HR person that I would be working till the end of January. I'll have to keep my promise. Sigh...

ANYWAYS...

I'm going to be 20 in 3 days time! Gosh! I'm getting old!!! Can't believe that I have been on this Earth for so many years already! It's actually amazing how time flies when you're having fun. It seems like it was just yesterday that I celebrated my 18th birthday. I wonder what is in store for me this birthday?

This birthday of mine would be somewhat different from my previous birthdays. It would be my first birthday that I celebrate in Singapore, and with all new friends. Hm... Should be a great experience, no?

It's 2010

It's 2010 already! Only about 8 more days till I hit the benchmark age, the big, but not that big 2 0. Sigh. No more 1*. I'm getting older and what am I still doing? Still not leaving my mark on the world. Oh well. I still have time to do that, I guess.

Since my birthday is still some time away, I shall not blog much about it yet. I'll blog, instead, about my long delayed New Year Resolutions!

My 2010 New Year Resolution List

1. Study better and get better results!

2. To grow stronger in my faith.

3. To get to know more people, widening my network.

4. Get into a better body shape =D

5. Get a job in Perth.

6. Know my life direction.

7. Be less emo.

I think I shouldn't add more stuff to my list. Just in case I can't fulfill anything. xD
