Wk 31

以前认为世界很虚伪,现在觉得自己正以五十步笑百步。

One month to go…

Monday
Heavy rain didn’t stop a few of us from getting of the bus, walking running in the rain, and reaching lecture theater soaking wet, only to be bombarded by all the hand instruments that we have to learn.

Out of kindness, borrowed my safety glasses to a friend, hoping that my prescription glasses will be enough. However, this didn’t went by unnoticed by the hitler nurse, and I was bombarded by her and even accused of not having a safety glass (f her, I hv labs everyday last sem, how could i survived not having a pair of safety glasses)….and i am now my friend’s ‘master bestest friend’ and he owes me lunch…muahaha….塞翁失马,焉知非福。

My fingers getting tired of holding to the hand instrument and ended up accidentally slipped and drilled my fingers. No major harm caused.

Watched Big Brother Finale which is as pointless& boring as the reality show itself. Thought it wont harm to just know who the winner is even though I don watch the show myself. But….ah, the mighty 'but'…I had to wait for f-ing 3 hours. Even the two housemates were tired of waiting (they were really excited at first until the host keep saying that they are still counting the votes (apparently it’s really close, 500 votes difference of the hundreds of thousands of votes)). I had to switch channels to keep myself entertained. An middle-age lady almost had the chance to win won $1 million in ‘1 vs 100’ but..ah the 'but' again…she didn’t. she pulled back at this question: what is the domain name for Switzerland (or sth like that). The choices were: a)ch, b)su, c)sw. I was like mg…c) obviously…but the answer was a)…~.~’’’ oh…after a pantomime, housemates watching clips from home, listening to interview of host with their family live and eventually meeting their parents (producers are running out of ideas here) and finally…the girl won…alishea (or sth like dat)..sigh

Ohh…gray’s anatomy wasn’t the last episode…there’s two more to go…and the suspense in Ugly Betty with them finding the love chamber (or was it room?), Betty realizing she have to look for Henry, Hilda getting married and loads more...

Tuesday
Attend lecture and lab. Once again bombarded by the names -of blood vessels we have to learn…

Helped out at ISS stall…boriiinnnggggggggggggg

Watched simpsons…I like..hehe

Blogging now when I should be studying…I m (at last count) 9 lectures behind…sigh

And I blogged:

Subi market

有时就因为一时的冲动,做了一些事,反而弄巧反拙,遗憾终身。

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I went to Subiaco market. Set my alarm at 8am (as if I would wake up so early…~.~’’’). Continue sleeping until 10am and finally forced myself to wake up.

Took a train. Subiaco actually looked quite nice. Or mayb it’s just the weather.

Since it was my first time there, I jus followed the crowd (yes, it’s a crowd, not jus a few people) and as I thought, my instincts didn’t fail me.

So I walked. It was not really what I thought (sigh… me and my expectations). Instead of the normal ‘pasar’ that we have in Malaysia, it was more of a Jalan India selling everything. Normal everyday things, clothes, giving massages, tarot card reading, food, flower pots etc etc.

Walked one round. And then walked another round taking photos.

And finally started doing what I was suppose to do there- buying my groceries. There’s really a lot of different races there. Now that’s what I call a melting pot. I thought most of the owner of the grocery shops were Chinese, until I started hearing them talk in a foreign language which I think was Vietnamese…so much for racial superiority…

bleached-white mushrooms

spot the samples..


Had my lunch. There’s really a lot of different kind of food. French, Latin, Turkish, Mexican, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, and not forgetting normal Aussie dishes.

there's a funny story behind this photo. I was taking this photo, and the owner said this photo is copyrighted and i have to pay $5 (well obviously he's joking). so, not knowing what to say, i said 'sorry' and acted like Chinese (people from China, not the race) tourists. but sadly, instead of acting improficient in English, i felt as if i was acting mentally-retarded.

I had Indian. (food of course) I didn’t actually felt hungry. I jus felt like eating.

it was raining

nasi bryani, mutton curry, zucchini curry and poppadom, not bad for $7

the shop
he looks like Leo Ku..a bit...

Went back to buy some more things.

fish...

And I went home.

Subi oval on left, train station on right..

p/s: quite proud of this batch of photos. i had to avoid the owners (and passersby) from noticing that i was taking the photos. and considering i didnt use flash, it was relatively clear...

wk 30

it's all words...

OMG, reading ppl’s blog is so hard now especially there’s HP7 spoiler everywhere (well, ok, jus a few)…I still hvnt start reading yet…I call that pure laziness determination and perseverance

First day of uni…fun…got to meet all me coursemates. Funny thing is I met 6 mates on the same bus going to class (well, I suppose that’s because there’s not really a lot of buses passing by Queen Elizabeth II Hospital area)…anyway...first lecture…prac lab…second lec…finish (I’ll spare yall this time by not boring you to death with the contents of my lectures…though I reckon it was still quite interesting…skip the next paragraph)

(To those who wants to know, just to get a taste of my humble course, we learnt GV Black’s cavity classification in first lec, learnt the instruments (eg pigtail probe; Blacks spoon; chisels; enamel hatchet; spoon excavater), how to operate ‘the-most-cooperative-patient-u’ll-ever-get’ (quoted from one of the tutors) aka the SIMULATOR (comes with detachable skull, rotatable head, batteries sold separately (sometimes I amaze myself with the lame jokes I can think of)) revise wat we’ve learnt in sem 1 and also realize that we’ve completed 10% (which is ‘something’ even though its not a lot) of our course *clap hands* in 2nd lec)

And attentions:
This week of FINALES
Thursday (26/7)- Lost –two hour special- 8.30pm
Sunday (29/7)- Ugly Betty- second last episode- 7.30pm
Sunday (29/7)- Gray’s Anatomy- two hour special- 8.30pm

Next week of FINALES
Sunday (5/8)- Ugly Betty- last episode -7.30pm
Sunday (5/8)- What about Brian- two hour special -8.30pm

(correct at blogging time)

Man…it’s raining again…sigh….and stopped in 5 seconds time…weird

HP7

原本还想说:名花归主了,再久点就被缠死了。
现在想说:名花归土,却招来土崩。。。叹气。。。no offence

Since everyone is blogging abt Harry Potter, I’ll do too.

The night before 21/7, I was really quite excited abt the whole ‘the-book-will-be-released-at-7.01am (GMT2301 ). I was thinking that will be like other big promotions (like the release of other HP books, McD’s Hello Kitty/Snoppy series etc) like those I read in the newspapers. And I’ll b part of it. Last one somemore. It’s felt like being a kid again. And I slept smiling..hehe

But…

It freakin rained the next day...but still, I woke up at 6.00am and went to Borders at 6.30am. But…there’s not a lot of ppl there. I thought there would be ppl queuing outside or even camping outside Borders…*fake laughs* hehe…suddenly felt not so excited anymore…

So the rest of the story is jus queueing up and getting the book.

Ohya, there were ppl from the tv…and they were shooting ppl saying out loud screaming the countdown and going hysterical when they got the book…~.~’’’


And the decors were nice, there are also ppl in costumes...nice atmosphere


And we got owlets…even though you can actually get it even if you go at *ehem* 11am…

I suppose it's the thrill of it, and like i said it's the last harry potter book...:)

I got the adult version, but wont b reading it yet…I want to read the sixth one first…

Uni’s starting tomoro…sigh smile

p/s all these photos are taken by ME, so if you find the same photos in some other blog, jus keep that in mind .. :-)

7/7=1

just a short post to end this stupid 7 days task

-----------------------------------------------------------------

i'll shall really try my best tomoro at work...

i realise these dotted lines can make the post looks shorter...

i can finally close my tabs in my internet explorer individually instead of closing down the whole window when i click to just close one tab...

interesting songs: jane-詹雪琳& 灵-张祖诚

i just realise busing on circle route and finish the whole circle takes 3 hours...i might change my plans and jus bus around the city on blue CAT...

7 more days to go before uni starts...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

人是有自己的空间,并非得事事向他人交代。执着的友谊有时会带来负面的影响,有时淡淡之交还能让友谊长存。遥远的爱;并不代表无真爱;遥远的关怀,并不代表无关怀;好朋友...并不一定时时在一起。

everyone has their own personal space and does not have to report their daily lifes to others. a stubborn & forced friendship can sometimes cause negative effects. instead, a simple, plain friendship can last forever. a long distance love, does not mean that the love does not exist; the same goes to caring someone; a good friend...does not mean he/she has to be there beside you all the time.

somehow i found this comforting....

enjoy (the remainings of) ur holidays guys!!

5/7

ok...muz seriously get this over with....2 more blogs to go

so freakin happy today...finally finished cleaning my laptop (after cleaning my room...)...i took like one whole day to (use different programs) scan antispywares in my laptop...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

yesterday, a bunch of us went to a pizza place 'Little Caesers' in Mundaring (along Great Eastern Highway i think), it was quite far away, very in fact.

Just to illustrate, this was how the whole journey was like (since they say the process is more important than the result, or sth like dat...)




[edit: i've cut it shortER, made me annoyed also]


5.40pm -ish...left perth...





'wow, quite a lot of traffic'





'nice sunset'


*look the clock- 6.08..~.~"


getting quite dark...trees all around



*look at the clock again-6.10..o.O



is it half way?
no, not even a quarter of the journey...
























first sign of building again- midlands










back to more trees- jungle























"so ppl come so far jus to takeaway ey? dat's quite stupid..."
















very dark











































we're there!!!!! finally
quite boring isnt it...

so the world's best pizza or sth like dat...

they gave us special seats- VIP room...well actually more like VIP corridor (coz there's not enough space in the shop(it's a very small shop)..no wonder ppl come here to take away)

we order a lot, there are quite a lot of different flavours: tuna, hawaiian, BBQ, chicken, oyster, sardine, lasagna, turkey (i like this), fettuccine, one which no one ate,....there are also others like prawns, seafood......which we didnt order.......

and so we ate like we never eaten pizza before...well not really

we ordered six with two half flavours and two single flavour...that's 8x10 pieces each to be shared among 13....everyone had to eat around...quite a lot pieces...

and we chilled...in the cold weather as we gathered around the heater... tried to play games but everyone cant be bother...hehe

i (and Mr C) finally mustered the courage to take some photos in the shop (i'll put it on later)while some of us tabao some pizza back (even though we were swearing that we wont touch any pizza for the rest of the year)

after eating desert (some very very very sweet pizza and apple strudel pizza which i didnt eat)

we went back...muahahaha

so is it really dat good?..i suppose it's jus the choices they have and the atmosphere of the shop..warm and cosy..really warm til a bit hot in the shop actually

it was good fun...

i m hungry now...i shall stop here and eat the pizza which is still in the kitchen now....muahaha...

[photos as promised..]

3/7

i'll post it tomoro...need to sleep early today...early shift tomro...sigh

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who can’t be bothered studying Chinese, or don hv the chance to study, here’s a summary:
Exam results are out (except for one unit) and I passed all…0.0>o
Cleaned my room the whole day…
Ate fish, purple cabbage and rice for dinner…so so la
Continues cleaning my room afterwards…it’s an ‘organized’ warzone now
Listened to all the songs that I’ve linked throughout the whole day…

--------------------------------------------------------------------

成绩出炉了,只有一科成绩还不知道,懂的全部都pass。。。0.0>o
也没怎样很高兴或者失望。。。*沉思。。。

今天整天打扫房间,一口气queue了一大堆歌听:张栋梁-王子SHE-play, JS-nerro scream, 戴佩妮-ipenny, 粱静茹-亲亲, 一公升的眼泪电视原声带。把整间房间turned upside down。。。抹了衣柜,抹了镜子,吸了地毯,换了床垫和床架,干了整天。。。

现在家里少了一个人,顿时变得很静。。。
饿了。便到厨房准备晚餐。把电脑抬到饭厅,继续听歌,正好放着tank-延长比赛keep fighting中的非你莫属。今晚菜单:
~鱼-没有以前常吃的黑仓、白仓、嘟嘟鱼。。。买了不会煮的鱼,觉得那只鱼好像不适合蒸,就用牛油煎算了。。。吃起来好像少了什么的, 原来自己吃着那条鱼,心里却想着ikan bakar。。。第一次煮算不错啦。。
~紫包菜+萝卜-stir-fry,炒蒜头。这次没放蚝油, 因为妈说吃多不健康。
~饭-电饭锅坏了,所以回到原始,用锅在煤气炉上煮。。。真的需要技巧,要不断的搅拌,so that底部不会焦。。。结果还是焦了一点(也不算焦啦,只是干了一点),以为吃起来会有bibimbap的味道,简直幻想天开。。。
煮好后,慢慢享用。还真的够慢,吃的当儿就听了十多首歌(10+x5mins。。):陈仁丰-音乐故事林宇中-淋雨中。家里特别静,所以歌听起来也特别好听。还真巧,刚才看到一个朋友msn上写‘因为会体谅,所以能原谅’。吃好最后一口时,林宇中在歌里唱出同样的歌词。听清楚点,真的是没错。。。静静的家发生这样的事,有点不寒而栗。。。

吃完洗完,又继续收拾,也继续听歌:曹格-superman, 曹格-格格blue,黄义达-完整演出。十点多终于收好了,现在没有像战场那么乱了。。。赶快去洗个澡,把洪俊扬-独角兽pause着,回来继续听。。。

冲凉了,网上冲浪后,听完宇衡-2006real创作集,就去睡了。


要提一提,以上的歌除了SHE,JS,《一》,tank,黄义达和洪俊扬,剩的都是大马歌手。。。

对这post和歌有感想的话,不妨留言。。。arigatou。。。

2/7

Boring day today, really boring...stayed on my bed the whole day (come to think of it, it's not that bad coz my bed with another bed on its sides is actually my workplace...). I watched a few episodes of ' 美女厨房(beautiful cooking)' . Every episode 3 beautiful ladies will cook and judges will give them marks. And more often than not, their cooking is horigible, terigible and vegetable ah~.

After that, read 雪狼湖 (snow wolf lake). I had always wanted to know the story after Jacky Cheung 张学友& Vivian Hsu(??) 许慧欣 performed a musical of that in KL. I read half of the story during the Easter break and finally finished it today. Quite interesting...my eyes are so tired now from staring at the screen for so long...

An good fren of mine tagged me, without me knowing that he has a blog and without he knowing that i have a blog. And i'll do it some other day when i m free. It's quite amazing how i can stumble upon ppl's blog (which was how i knew he had a blog). I unknowingly found four of my course mates' blog...hehe. Even more amazing, i saw one random blog so i read it. And it turned out that he was studying in UWA eng. And then it turned out that my frens know him. And then the next thing you know, i was talking to him in my house. lol..the world is small, and internet too...

This following paragraph may contain traces of food which may cause discomfort to vegetarians, non beef-eaters and bulimics. Parental guidance advised.
When i was cooking jus now i unconsciously applied the '3T'- Teori Tiga Titis, under SOMEONE'S influence. 3T (Three Drops Theory) states that only 3 drops of oil is needed when oil is used regardless whether it's for frying eggs, cooking noodles and stir-frying veges (not dat sure about deep-frying...mayb deep fry ant canlah...AHAHAHAHAHAH....~.~''' ). Anyway, i was brain-washed after the constant mentioning of 3T and before i realised it, it was too late. My beef got stuck to the pot. Apparently it only applies to non-stick pans... So now i have my own 3T-Three Tablespoons Theory..........
That paragraph was lame...

Nervous Excited Worried Dunno wat i feel....results out tomoro. gasp!!!!

and major room cleaning after that....

that's all about me today....pretty boring ey...

7777777

woa....triple SE7EN today.......7.7.07!!!

actually i wanted to wake up and blog at 7:07:07am (0707hours) but...i was too lazy...lol

like last year, i waited until 1.23am 4/5/06 and celebrate...very rare you know, only once every thousand years...how i celebrate? i ate a packet of chips before i sleep....

MUAHAHAHhahahahahaha.....~.~'''

anyway, i will update this post later...

---------------------------------------------------------

ok cool. i m back

so what's so special about 7? Well, the number of seven:
1. is the number of days God has taken to create the Earth (holy leh)!!!
2. is the number of days in a week!!!(dat's obvious)
3. is the number of colours in a rainbow!!!(duh..)
4. is the largest prime number in 0-9!!! (now dat is special...)
5. if square rooted will get ~2.645 which if multiplied by itself will get approximately 7!!! (ok, no shock there)
6. is found in 22/7 which is an approximate for pi, the number!!! (dat doesnt really count actually...)
7. multiplied by the number seven again, which makes forty nine days (七七四十九) is how long the monkey in 'The journey to the West 西游记' practice his powers in a pot (or sth like dat)!!!

so special right 7?

--------------------------------------------------------

great day today

at work, i was 'very good'. lol. got to eat chilled 1 1/3 foot long sub due to some mistakes. OHYA, for those who dont know, i m working in sobweys rivrvale (jus in case)

jus now i went to grand-uncle's place to eat dinner. cook laksa leh...i was like 'woa, so long never eat liao', missed it so much and cant wait to cook it myself *hint hint*, but as i m typing now, i m thinking 'omg not laksa again' *hint hint cancelled*

---------------------------------------------------------

I'll be blogging everyday for seven days from and including today!!!!!






i know i am quite sad...

有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?


闷的当儿, 重温了以前中学毕业之前所拍的照片。打开文件夹后,点击第一张照片,试图从中回忆起中学生涯的点滴,一张一张去感受。脑海中出现的却是疑问。班级照里超过一半的名字都忘记了,依然有保持联系的屈指可数。还记得去年,与多数的人都有保持联络,希望我们之间的友谊,可以像纪念册里所写的般‘永固’,也免得我和我小学同学的历史重演,毫无来往了。现在,中学朋友都各奔前程,每个人都有自己的忙,自己的朋友, 心里自我安慰说久而久之都会难免产生生疏感吧。

去年年杪,回到民都鲁(我的家乡)时,与朋友见面了几次,只发现原来我与他们好像是陌生人了。他们之间,好像从未分散过,对彼此的事都了如指掌,谁到哪里深造念什么,谁找到男女朋
友了,谁前两个月差点撞车,谁有了新手机, 谁在假期去了哪里玩。。。为什么我都不懂啊?说来也惭愧。我连他们手机号码或msn都没有,怎么能够keep in touch呢?我无数次检讨自己,反省自己,尝试弥补一切。问题在于我没努力过,还是他们没。。。?我也不敢追究太深。照片要拍得清晰,做人却有时不懂太多会更好过。临走之前,也向他们要了手机号码,岂知前阵子遗失了手机,号码也全没了。上天你在耍我吗?

初次来到这里,单身来到这陌生的地方,无亲无友,以为应该没什么大碍,依然可以做新朋友。可是方才知晓原来我不善社交,与别人比起,朋友简直寥若晨星。就因为这样,心里曾挣扎过。为了不想自己受伤害,开始变孤僻。也因为同样原因,曾想过不接受其他地方的uni offer。但幸亏,自己不必作出这个会反抗父母的决定。

现在上了大学,又是一个新的环境。备以去年的经验,我尝试踏出温室,
大胆认识多一点人。但,自己的course里,难免会有点孤独,因为多数都是鬼佬和abc。我并没对他们有什么反感,只是沟通上有时会有点困难,因为英文(再加上他们的acccent)毕竟并非我母语。结果,只掺internationalPR,与一部分的其他人结了‘点头之交’。难道要这样继续五年吗?有时蛮羡慕别人,认识不到半年就可以打成一片,出外看电影,在朋友家准备晚餐,过夜,有的更成了伴侣。。。 临河慕鱼,不如归家织网的道理我明白,可是。。。人家说将来掌控在自己手中,可是也有人说人算不如天算。
若干年后,我会怎么样?我还会与这六年里在珀斯认识的人来往吗?

希望这不是奢望吧。。。


paiseh。。。口水多了点。。。


本post只是当时的想法和心的,并非在搏大家的同情。。。
