Wk32.5

Ok.
So, FRIDAY
Wagged/Pon-ed my first lec…muahaha…felt so good sleeping in and attending just one lecture at 1pm

I thought I could have earned a bit of money by going to work instead of going to CS quiz night/ ASIA charity dinner/ SMA dinner and spend (around) $10/ $55/ $30 respectively. BUT~~~~ my boss cancelled the job last minute. So, wasted my time. All wells

SATURDAY
Interyear basketball games. Thought I could give them some support by going there and er ..support. who knows? I was the only one..=.=’’’…I thought a lot of ppl from my year will be going…sigh…and even stupid-er..they messed up the bookings for the court. I’ll spare the details to prevent any unwanted embarrassment. And they changed place. And I cant be bothered following.

SO, I went back slacked a while, and went to work…night shift…awesome senpai there who helped me out…arigato deep down from my heart..

And went to my fren’s birthday…in vic park straight after…awesome night…took some photos, met up with some frens, got a bit tipsy and that’s pretty much ..:)

anyone interested? if yes, contact me. deposit first then his face..wuahaha

nice colours & atmosphere

And the highlight of my week…

SUNDAY
After so many stuffups during my week, I was a bit worried that something bad might happen. Not bad, but as in unexpected that might jus throw my whole plans off.

Anyways, a few frends and I went to

60th Indian Independence Anniversary Cultural Carnival..omg so long

It was awesome (pardon my limited vocabulary), and their dress..fuyo..even me as a guy found it colourful. So why did I went? My frends preformed (2 from dent, 1 from med and someone from health sciences), and it’s cheap..ahah..

It was awesome. Performances:classical dance(the best I reckon), bollywood dance (my frends were in there), Punjabi folk dance, contemporary dances, instrumental and vocal medley (powerful voice), bhangra (supposedly the most popular dance), Goan musical performances. And there’s samosas.

the classical dance

the dance my frens were in...they r like the talk now & videos
will b circulated around the common room..lol

bhangra

the concert hall itself..:)

And to quote my frend…how does it feel to be a minority (me as chinese) in a minority? At home…awhhh~~

And I realize something. ‘Boys and girls’ doesn’t really apply to me anymore. It’s ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ now. Well it’s jus what you want to think I suppose.

Really had too much sad stories these few days…random blogs, songs, mv, & GREY’S ANATOMY!!!! Sigh…

And jus before I slept, a rumour has it that there will be a meteor shower. I would really like to see one. I’ve seen Haley Comet but meteor shower is totally different. Like how they show it drama, it’s so romantic, so mysterious, and making a wish on a meteor jus seem so ..awesome (lol). Ah ..dreams

I’ll post the photos up if they are clear enuf & if I have time & if I have the patience...(edit: up)

a song to share: 李吉汉-随意门
i dunno why suddenly so crazy about it.

妄想与计划只是一线之差。计划得太完美就是一种妄想。实际的妄想可以是一个好的计划。

The week that was:

MONDAY :
had a practical lab. learnt how to use high speed drill to drill a tooth. we all finished quite fast (it IS high speed). so what do you do when finished your practice, have lots more of extra teeth and have a high speed drill in your hand? you drill somemore...(me only actually)

smiley face

coconut tree and sun

a(n anatomically incorrect) tooth on a tooth

oh, they are the same size as our normal tooth, each of them is about a five cents coin that big...so they are quite small...talk about skill

went to Curtin clinic (which sadly wasn’t in Curtin) to play around with the dental chair. second step towards becoming a dentist


TUESDAY:
ended early as always. so, went to watch simpsons…it was really funny. it was nice to have a break from the nothingness I have been experiencing since wk 1.
how do you address a parent? surname I suppose.
slept very late that night to finish an assignment


WEDNESDAY:
actually, shud hv wrote it here. slept very late to finish a stupid dietary analysis- effects on oral health.

For those who are reading,
these may cause tooth decay: carbohydrates (rice, pasta, bread), sweet stuff (soft drink, fruit drink, ice cream)
these may prevent tooth decay: meat, oily stuff, nuts, fibrous veges, fruit (try to avoid acidic ones), milk (& cheese & yogurt), tap water, sugarless chewing gum

slacked the rest of the day- watched ‘Thank God You’re Here’- got my weekly dose of laughs

China started their countdown to next year's Olympic on 8/8/08- talk about triple fatt. come to think of it, they are really lucky. 1. if China was in the southern hemisphere, it would b winter and they cant have summer games on that date. 2. the next oympics is in 2008 not 2007 or 2009. 3. if their lucky number was sth like 13 it jus wont happen -13/13/2013...

THURSDAY:
nothing much except that i was late for lecture, was too tired to listen to the same lecture, slept half an hour before sitting for a quiz which didn’t even require much learning (ok, a bit, but it was fairly basic). oh and finally got our clinical coats..:) third step..

to Singaporeans, Happy National Day. see, we Malaysians don’t hate you. we jus don’t like you…jk

went to this National Day Parade event held by SSS. was interesting but boring at the same time. they broadcasted the NDP live (with 5 mins delay). at first I thought it was in the morning until I realise it’s still bright at 6pm in s’pore or m’sia. there’s food. roti prata, laksa, ramli burger…mamak style with all the shouting, smell, and cheap price brought to Perth.

a poor shot

changing the pheme password is jus annoying

The week that will be…coming soon.

今天

今天超冷，冷到讲话都冒烟。出门到进lecture hall，一路上傻乎乎的吸呼吸呼，自己傻笑。

今天超闷，别人也有同感。上lecture都懒洋洋，lab也是无精打采，不知道是不够睡，还是学的东西难到闷。

今天的晚餐很失败，煮出来一塌糊。

今天有大领悟。脑里突然出现孟子说的一句：天将降大任于是(edit:斯)人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为（其实还有下两句，只是我们没有学：。。。其所为，所以动心忍性，增益其所不能）。我天天凭毅力读书，天天上课昏昏欲睡，天天下午肚子饿，天天觉得生活无聊没意思，可是还是好好的活下去，不打抢，不喝酒，不赌博。看来，天要降大任于我也（还是已经降了？），乃呜呼哀哉。。。

今天想起之前，玩着电子钢琴时，以为作了一首曲，还蛮好听的。再弹第二次时，才发现，原来自己在弹着是由D大调卡农移调下一个全音的C大调卡农。顿时失望一下。

今天要变明天了。。。

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:

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 .. :-)

Cooked loh mai kai last night. Not bad. Need a bit more seasoning sauce, mushroom shudnt b soaked that long and not cut into such small pieces.

Bough this last week. Brocoflower. Looks weird rite? Makes one wonder whether it’s a wonder of nature or the work of mankind?

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ’ will be out tomorrow…..
For chinese version-《哈利·波特与死圣》, have to wait for a few more months, and cant be found in australia somemore…

Uni starting next week…sigh

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....

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..]

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

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international和PR，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。。。

one litre of tears

Boring post ahead...

A good idea would to load the video below first...

Jus watched a Japanese series- one litre of tears. It’s a true story based on the diary of girl who had spinocerebellar degenerative disease. Really made me realize how lucky we actually are being healthy and all. I can’t even bare to imagine what would happen if this were to happen to me. The problem with some these diseases is that they just come out of no where, without any warning, without any reason. It’s not because you did something unhealthy (like bad eating habits or lifestyle). It just chooses you because it can. The worse of all, some are incurable meaning that you know you will die soon. We all will die, that’s a fact. But getting a disease like that is just totally different. It’s as if your future has all been set out. You can see the limit of your live and you know you will die thus living a ‘dead’ live which some might even consider not worth living at all. We live now without thinking about dying, not knowing when we will die, living a ‘live’ life. There are numerous diseases of this nature. Some of the common ones are cancer, AIDS, and other genetical diseases. What’s so terrible about spinocerebellar degenerative disease is that, the brain cells starts to die off, and the patient starts to lose all control- speech, walking, eating, balance, writing…it’s like your body starts to die before you die. I know sounds stupid but the only thing left is your state of awareness that you are in fact alive even though you can’t do anything at all as if you are dead. The pain doesn’t end there. What about your family& friends? They would be equally heart-broken, feeling helpless. Would they be embarrassed? What about love? Her dreams of getting married with the boy she is in love with WILL NOT come true. Not being able to play sports, being labeled 'disabled' etc. All of these are portrayed in the series. Some say it’s one of the most depressing jap series. You’ll really cry buckets of tears.

回忆

十月不到的时光里
In these ten month’s time
周遭的一切令我回忆起了无数的往事
Everything around me reminded me of my past
回想起了：
And I missed all of them:

座落在死路面前的小家
My house at the end of the road
客厅冰冷的地砖
The icy cold tiles in my living room
睡房小小的门拉手
The small door knob of my bedroom’s door
洗手间洗脸盆的滴水声

rehat做的一切:赶(抄)功课、拜访隔壁班、去办公室吹冷气、去图书馆吹冷气、bertugas、在厕所‘臭’的热闹、无所事事…
The stuff we do during rehat: rushing(copying) homework, visiting next class, going to the staffroom for the air-conditioner, bertugas-ing, the not-really-smelly toilet, doing nothing...

The days when I lived without worries, not caring what other people think about me, not having to do everything on my own, and lived happily
住了十多年的小小的民都鲁镇
The bintulu town where I lived for more than ten years
快乐的过去
The happy past
快乐的自己
My happy self
…

就让一切烙印在脑海中
May these memories be forever remembered
好让日后还能回顾
I'll revisit these memories in the future
在回忆里从新感受那些滋味
Reliving these memories and savouring it

这全部很久都没做、听、看过。有些也没机会可以再经历了。。。
I haven’t done, listened or seen all these stuff for quite a long time. Some of which I might not even have the chance to relive again...

five years- first time- fifth post

Woa..second post in a day...man i m wasting so much time...

OMG! Dat was the best two hours dat I had in these two weeks. Such good movies. Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy! Totally unstressed (for those past two hours) OMG! OMG! OMG! And the suspense…OMG!

For those who missed it:

Ugly Betty: Betty told Henry that she loved him and dat’s why she dumped that Wil guy (wat’s his name again?). Ohya, Henry’s (past) gf (who was trying to make thing better) was in New York and betty sort of didn’t like her. Lol the train station was funny. That bitch at the round table (wat’s her name? Amanda is it?) kept asking her to jus leave henry’s gf in the train. Wait! Some more. Hot stuff! Lucy Liu appeared and she and Daniel ehem…got down to business- his father’s case (wat were you thinking). Alexis didn’t have fren…sad girl/guy (and so weird, there a guy hitting on her/HIM)…and Willi tried to be her/his fren coz she saw how Daniel and her/him were very close and you know her motive to be her/his fren la….(I know someone finished watching liao…downloaded the whole series...so now you hv nothing to watch…haha)

Grey’s Anatomy: from last week, Meredith was pushed into the water when she was trying to save a victim from a big ship crash. The whole 1 hour series was uber touching. George lied to a victim that he found her son and had to look frantically all over the hospital. Dr. Stevens made a hole in some victims’ head to relief pressure at the crash site. So, gan jiong and they show her cutting the skin of the head up-close and the drill into the skull. Not for the faint-hearted. (And I was thinking wat I if did med-but that’s beside’s the point) People were in the hospital waiting for the news for their loved ones and it was really sad to see one of the victim’s husband broke down into tears when he realize that her pregnant wife died. I know it’s nothing much when I say it but if you watched it…fuyo. And finally Meredith was brought back to the hospital with hypothermia, her face damn pale (good make-up artist). All the resident doctors (the main characters of course) and the bunch of trainees (I know there’s another word for it) were all there and were so nervous. Cannot explain here the whole tense atmosphere, but Dr. Stevens said a lot of touching stuff trying to give hope to her colleague. ‘I BELIEVE she will survive. I BELIEVE…I BELIEVE…’ there was one line in it which was funny though: ‘I BELIEVE when I eat butter (?) and no one saw it, I wont get the calories.’ So next episode must watch. Ohya, they showed (from the preview) that Meredith died. Yeah, 'showed' that she died, but I don’t think so la.

Woa…uber long post considering I have exam tomoro (and this post sounds a bit gay). I BELIEVE I should be studying, like now.

For those not finishing their exam yet...hang on to it, dont stress (too much).

I m done, full stop.

Cheer guys/girls/guy-girls!

let's count..

Teacher says:
'Morning class. Today let's revise counting from 1-10. Let's count how many engineers are there in this picture. They are the ones wearing the fugly party hats and holding achohol bottles. Make sure you include those on the floor half-dead and not the ones sleeping soundly or trying to study. Let's count together.'
Class says:
1 n-g-near, 2 n-g-nears, 3 n-g-nears.......


Ok. STudY tIMe.=.= so sleepy.-(so dead.

lima tahun- kali pertama (bab 4)

Cuma satu perkataan boleh menggambarkan (aku tahu ada satu perkataan lain yang lebih sesuai kan?) keadaan aku ini sekarang. Hanya satu sahaja. Itu pun kerana tidak banyak masa lagi tinggal untuk aku mengulangkaji peperiksaanku yang akan melanda esok petang. Aku benar-benar sudah bosan dengan apa yang sedang diulangkajikan. Terlalu banyak fakta perlu diingati. Malah, apa yang aku sedang belajari ini jauh lebih bosan and mengelirukan berbanding dengan sajarah tingkatan 4 & 5. Benar. Engkau tidak percaya?

Ohya. Satu perkataan. Tidak ada perkataan lain yang lebih sesuai lagi.

Satu perkataan.

STRES!

Kena mandi sekarang...

(93 patah perkataan)

五年之第一次之第三篇

嗯，title好像重复太多次了。

（警惕：粗话、口语连篇。。不适小孩阅读）

卖姑溜！哪一个白痴排的考试表啊？今天刚考完f’ed up两科明天又有一科死不难的！再过两天又来一个！刁啦！今晚又要熬夜了！

当我在烦的当儿，有人尽然说很伤心拿不到优等！基bot！我死不担心不会pass，有些人在愁拿不到满分，我也不知道该说什么，谁叫我飞蛾扑火，念牙科。（可是，我不会后悔的。干巴爹！）（这一段重点在我，不在讲的那个人，所以。。。不要sendiri pedas啊！如果tercucuk hati, sorry ya。）

Anyway,刚才，哇哟，突然间比啉吧郎下起大雨！那个时侯我还在吃着打包的晚餐呢。哇些man！很久没有下那么大雨咯！有点惊讶。
好应该开始读书了！念什么？念牙齿－牙釉质enamel, 象牙质dentine, 牙髓pulp, 牙周韧带periodontal ligament，齿龈gingiva, 齿槽骨alveolar bone等。

咳。。。累。

p/s不好意思今天没什么心情post。可是就因为要有罪恶感。。。

五年之第一之第二篇

惨了！惨了！明天又要进考场了！还是两科叻！

刚才下午煮了马铃薯＋红萝卜（我还以为‘卜’念buo）＋番茄＋洋葱＋江鱼仔汤。原本还不错的（当然还是不能媲美我妈的），可是好像越喝越没味道，可能是没心情吧。

刚才开电邮箱（也有两个星期没查了），发现我一个朋友寄了一封电邮。念了之后，非常感动。感动并非在内容，而是在他那分心意。我还以为已经与我以前中学朋友完全失去联络了。还是不谈了，等一下没心情念书。

啊！！！！！！
现在连佛脚都没得好抱了！嗨。。。还是节哀顺变吧！善哉善哉！
Next sem 我24/7烧香！

不唱歌了，谁叫上次暴冷场。。。

好。该是时候冲凉了。

五年之第一

我知道我在考试前一晚不应该在这里浪费时间写blog，可是真的念得累死了，好像在考SPM（大马教育文凭）那样那么大压力。
好啦，不多说了。现在浪费了一点时间，开始有罪恶感了，可以逼自己读书了。
祝各位考试顺利，榜上有名（我自己只要能pass我就满意了）！

神啊救救我吧，一把年纪了。。。（取自陈小春的歌）

WED!

Just wanna say today's World Environment Day!

Excerpt from here:

"World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

The World Environment Day slogan selected for 2007 is 'Melting Ice – a Hot Topic?'(冰川消融：后果甚忧？, El Deshielo-Un Asunto Candente?, La fonte des glaces-une question brulante?) In support of International Polar Year, the WED theme selected for 2007 focuses on the effects that climate change is having on polar ecosystems and communities, and the ensuing consequences around the world.

The main international celebrations of the World Environment Day 2007 will be held in Norway. UNEP is honoured that the City of Tromsø will be hosting this United Nations day(It was in Adelaide, Australia in year 2000).

The day's agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership, which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. World Environment Day is a people's event with colourful activities such as street rallies, bicycle parades, green concerts, essays and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, as well as recycling and clean-up campaigns."

exams...

Woa…I can’t believe I will (have to) be able answer all these (past year) questions in two weeks time. I never even seen some of the stuff asked:

What is the pH of 375 mL of solution containing 0.150 mol of propenoic acid (HA) and 0.250 mol of sodium propenoate (NaA)? (Ka for propenoic acid is 5.52 × 10-5.)

Draw a detailed diagram of the bell stage of tooth development and label the cells that will eventually form: enamel, dentine, cementum, PDL and pulp.

Discuss, with the aid of a diagram, the process of skeletal muscle contraction. Include the following: chemical synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction at the skeletal muscle, generation of action potential in the muscle, and mechanism of contraction after receiving the signal.

Write brief description notes on mechanism of breakdown of a metal in oral cavity by differential aeration cell and suggest which dental alloys might be most susceptible and why?

Discuss some of the challenges faced by pathogens in exploiting the potentials of the human body, the sorts of strategies used to meet these challenges, and the sort of counter-strategies which may be employed by humans keen to preserve those resources to further their own fitness.

@.@..

Ok..need to study now. Wont be posting anything until after exam I suppose. Study hard (and dont waste your time reading ppl's blog)!

drink, drank, drunk

Tonight i went to the engineering award presentation thingy as invited by Kelvin (yes Kelvin, not you lionel...). Anyway, saw lionel and andrew there too getting the award. It's sad though, all i got was only a few crappy photos of the whole event. That wasnt the main point, this blog is abt me...duh. After that, we went to the university club which is supposed to a very high-classed place, but now flooded by cheap ppl jus waiting for the food as refreshments. Being a typical asian, i went for all the food that i can put my hands on- and of course the drinks. And this was when the disaster happened...lol.
I got white wine, and i find it not really nice. So subconsciously i was trying to finish it real quick so that i wont be wasting it. That sort of explained what happened next. I started to feel weird. it's as if all my sensory nerves started not to function (i wont go into how achohol acts as an inhibitor or sth sth which sort of affects the action potential generated along the nerves and not enough electrical signals to stimulate the brain...simply because i dont know anything abt it...). I got to point when i cant even feel myself touching my cheeks. I thought i am just too tired or sth. Then only then it struck me that i was drunk...lol
I started to drink juice(two glasses), water(one glass), soda(one glass) thinking i can dilute the achohol. But i suppose it's too late. So, what happened? Nothing much. I didnt go around punching people or swearing, killing people or puking all over the place. I maintained my cool just sitting there. My face glowing red, my pulse increasing to over 150 per minute, my balance lost, my brain in sleeping mode. That's pretty much.
So, the lesson is:
-dont drink alchohol
-dont drink alchohol at one go
-dont drink alchohol...i cant stress that enough
-i m not a lousy drinker ok...i just drank too fast
-dont be greedy

Ok i'll end here. I need to sleep now. I'll update if i have hangover tomoro...hehe

mi mama

Yesterday I read someone’s blog. He was talking about his mom (who died 50 days ago) and reminiscing what his mother had done for him all her life. Really touching. Made me so the sad the other night and made me miss my mom also.

>>百善孝为先>>

My mom’s from KL. She lived quite a poor life. I remember she used to tell us how hard her life was. Every morning she had to wake up super early to go out to my grandma’s stall to sell food- porridge, noodle…(To tell you the truth I really don’t know much about her life when she was young, I guess I am just too ignorant or maybe I just never really cared)

>>哀哀父母为我拘劳>>

Fast forwarding to now, as in after I was born. Well, as I spent most of the time at home (call me boring or lifeless..watever), I really grew close to my mum especially when I was in Form 1 and 2 (which were in the evening session). When I am bored I would go to the kitchen (when she is in the kitchen obviously), to look at her cooking (I guess that’s why I can cook quite well now…hehe) and talk to her. Talk about what? I don’t know, just anything, can’t really remember. We used to subscribe Reader’s Digest and when she read a very funny joke she would share with me (and even though I finished reading the whole book a few weeks ago when it just arrived, I would just laugh). Sometimes, when I finished my tuition (yes, I also went to tuition) in the morning at around 10am, she would pick me up and go out for breakfast. I know that’s nothing much but I sort of started to miss it ever since I started form 3 which is in morning.

>>慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。- 游子吟>>

Last year, I came to Perth. First time without her (for a really long length of time) was quite ok though- she taught me almost everything before I came, I would also ask her if I had any big unsolvable problems. But doing everything on my own was hard work. I think you all know what I mean. I even tried cooking for a whole bunch of people (which stopped after a week I think?). I felt really tired and helpless (and annoyed by the amount of work that I had to do myself). Imagine her doing it everyday without fail for five of us in the family who never really offered a lot of help (I did sometimes when I was talking to her) and still maintaining the high-standard and healthy home-cooked meals without complain or grudge.

>>树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不在 >>

Reading someone’s blog really made me thinking. I really can’t afford to lose her. Especially not before I can repay what she had done all these years for me. I don’t even dare what will happen if I were to lose her (choi choi choi)…anyways, I will just end my post with how I would normally start every call I made every week…

“halo?”
“halo”
“我啊..”(me ah-again)
“你啊..”(you ah-smiling)
“嗯..”(yea)
“怎样? Ok吗?”(how’s things?ok?)
“差不多啦…”(so-so la..)
“…”

and this weekend I am going to add this:

“Happy Mother’s Day”

and God bless her..
