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!
