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?

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。。。

本post只是当时的想法和心的，并非在搏大家的同情。。。

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.

十月不到的时光里
In these ten month’s time

…

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...

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."

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..

All roads lead to Rome

All roads lead to Rome. There’s hundreds of them going to Rome. Why does it have to be like that? Why can’t there be just one road or maybe a predestined one instead of us choosing one?
I have been preparing for this race for the past few years of my teenage life. A race to see who can reach Rome as fast as possible and as safe as possible. The rule? You cannot turn back and start again. I have been trying hard to choose which road to follow in order to win this race. Others seemed to have chosen the route of their own long time ago. But why haven’t I? I tried to look as far down the road as I possible as I could but I can only look that far. I did all the research to help me decide but is it enough? Should I cut through the desert and risk dehydration? Or maybe through the sea and risk drowning? Too much choices but just which one is for me? All roads lead to Rome. There’s hundreds of them. Why does it have to be like that? Why can’t there be just one road or maybe a predestined one? Why do we have to give ourselves a hard time being spoilt for choices? Isn’t it just easier if there is a straight lane without any turns or junctions, built specially for every one of us, just waiting for us to use it when the time is right?
A lot of considerations but still no decision yet.

"takdalah, mana saya pergi rome?"

Time is really running short. Everyone in the race has gotten ready on their road just waiting for the time to come. But I am still deciding. Maybe I should just take the plane. Yes…but what airline? Departing from? Transiting in? Is it safe? What about the service? More stuff that needs to be considered.
The night before the race something popped into my mind. All roads lead to Rome. Yes…ALL roads lead to Rome. No matter what road I take I will still get to Rome. Maybe I shouldn’t be focusing on winning but on the journey itself. It is impossible to plan my road and hope that it will go according as planned. What if a bridge on the way collapsed? Or maybe an earthquake tore the road apart? Maybe that is what turns and junctions are for. For you to change your plans if anything goes wrong. Perhaps if everything is prearranged, no miracles would happen. Roads would not have intersected as all the roads will just be parallel, just like racing tracks. If there’s an obstacle ahead, you can’t cut into other people’s lane and if you can’t overcome the obstacle, you’re doomed.
Maybe I shouldn’t treat it as a race to Rome but small races to Bangkok, then to New Delhi, and Dubai and finally to Rome. Maybe I just don’t dare to make a choice for the fear that I will regret. I’ll just have to make it memorable instead of regrettable. It’s up to me to decide how I should think about this race. Worrying is inevitable but there are other participants too in the race. They will help me if I am in trouble, hopefully. So, so what if I have chosen the worst road to go to Rome? It’s up to me to change it or maybe just be more prepared for it. All I can do is just pray for the best and stay strong.
I am ready for my race now. Are you?

this doesnt go to rome..

p/s I wrote this long time ago before finally deciding to study dentistry...yup, i was under pressure...even now too (from studies)...haih

1630-1815

今天很开心。只需要上一个钟头的课。可是，老天好像就是不爽我，结果我在lecture hall里跌倒，还扭到脚（还好是上完课了）。*$%#!! 原本还想到city逛街的我，只好取消念头。在家里温习了一点功课后（我没那么勤劳，要不是有考试，才懒得呢），真的是不tahan了。犹豫很久后，就决定到city买groceries(我的天啊。。我的华文)。4.30pm 到楼下的巴士站搭了巴士到city。

到了city，就‘拐’到woolworths。顿时发现周围好多东亚人（华人，日本人，韩国人），心想鬼佬看了会不会不爽（还是我自己有种族歧视？）。在woolworths绕了几圈后，就无可奈何的走到从店头排到店尾的长龙的后面。今天，像前几次一样，看到那位lady。还记得，有一次曾和她在woolworths一样排对。虽然等了老半天，甚至还给人投诉插队（明明是另一个人插队，他说他等了很久－白痴，想插队就讲一声，还骂人），脸上还带着甜蜜的笑容（有点恐怖）。这次，她在柜台后收钱。

买完东西后，就找吃的。本来，想吃taka的，可是路途中看到一间lebanese的店，就走进去看一看（谁说只有女人善变？哈哈）。看菜单看了老半天后，点了一盘kafta in tray（有饭、茄汁肉丸加番薯和沙拉）。（进入写描写文mode…）在坐着等的当儿，环视了周围，发现那间店铺的设计带有浓厚中东风格。墙壁是粗糙的，就像中东的土房子。墙上也挂着一些古文明的画。看着图中繁忙的码头，衬托着在背景著名的蓝顶回教堂，令我赞叹古中东人的智慧，更欣赏古代回教文明的昌盛（也令我想起死不无聊的回教历史）。店里播放的（应该是）阿拉伯文的歌曲，更增添了那种中东神秘的气氛，真叫人仿佛身在古时的中东。这时，店里唯一的待应生把我点的食物端到桌上。低头一闻，没味道（哈哈…），可是吃起来还真不错。在嘴里咬嚼着热腾腾的茄汁肉丸，真叫人过瘾不过。吃的当儿，抬头看出门外，看到路人匆忙的来来往往，各自赶着回巢，与店里冷清slow-pace的气氛成对比。吃完后，走到柜台欲付钱，但视线却被一些不明食物吸引，看了真是垂涎三尺。问了价钱后（吓了一跳），不惜买下了baklava(honey+cashew饼)。付钱后，便缓慢的走回座位。不愿离开的我，就在当时吃了baklava。吃下baklava，我第一个想起的东西是peanut kuih(忘了叫什么－是不是kuih kochi还是apam balik?)。味道真是笔墨难以形容。松脆的饼皮中带有蜜糖和花生酱，吃下去，嘴里尽是甜丝丝的感觉，令人回味无穷。有点像花生饼/糖，可是没那么干。吃完后，我便依依不舍的离开，带着所有的groceries，搭6.15pm的巴士回家。


现在脚还是隐隐作痛…





这篇好像长了一点…


小弟并不想班门弄斧，更不想炫自己的华文，只想磨炼一下。如果有用词不当或任何错误，请多多指教。：）

Of holiday, pachelbel and cats

Holidayed for one week and it’s nearly over now. Not really productive I think, well not in my studies anyway. So what did I do, let’s see:
- changed room and my room is currently in a ‘war-torn’ status
- paid the telephone bill
- did my first aid course and got a certificate... quite enjoyed it (but i m still wondering why would you want to lie down a person with injured eye...shouldn't it be elevated?)
- was going to apply for tax file number and working permit but failed
- had some fun with (housemate’s) Wii and Heroes(not the tv series) but seriously distracted me from my work
- got my textbooks from s’pore and my handphone (I lost mine…yes again…this time really lost it) from my dad’s fren from Btu
- tried to study but jus no mood
- resuscitated my blog..hehe

(Uni's starting...jus sick of it..)

Pachelbel's canon in D. Was just reading someone's blog and saw all these pachelbel video clips. I guess everyone would have heard it before but shouldn't we be sick of it now? Go youtube 'pachelbel rant' and you'll notice there's a lot of songs which uses the same chord. I am already sick of guang liang's tong hua but not pachelbel's canon..weird huh? ok maybe just not time yet...

(that was random...)

Cats were my pets. Had two very cute ones. They play with each other, running around, and did other stuff. One's purple and the other one was blue. One thing i hated was their 'jealousness'. Whenever i feed one of them, the other one would be staring and growling at the cat which i was feeding. I mean, wth, you'll still be fed even though you are not the first one. So what if you are not the first to know or do in everything? You'll still get the same result- get fed by me. Next time they do it, i'll just starve them...muahahaha

(Ok, i didn't have a cat...but it will nice to have two one)

Blog Resurrection..

OK, i'm back now...finally..phew...actually i wanted to wait until 1st May and officially start blogging, but that would be too stupid for me to do. Anyways, yup due to high demands i'm resurrecting my blog (reminds me of my first-aid course) and hopefully keep it going...lol

Happy New Year!!

This year so sad..not much fireworks to see…used to be SO MUCH until everyone cannot sleep
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, ok. I have been neglecting my blog, mainly because of the fact that my internet is slow (as in REALLY slow, compared to the internet in the Canning College library) and I am kind of busy with my future -uni stuff. And as they say, 休息是为了走更长远的路(literally translated to ‘to rest is to walk a longer road’), so I should be resting…lol. Ok, fine. I am just plain lazy to blog. Actually I have all the idea ready in my mind but just, u know, lazy.

So, since today is the first day of 2007, I’ve made a certain amount of (read:big) effort to blog. First thing first, my life after I came back from Perth? Not really interesting. Sleep until quite late, watch some tv series, eat, occasionally going out with frens, organizing my laptop (still)…boring huh? But no cleaning, cooking, washing ...i dont mind being bored..

Well, it has been really busy for me for the past few weeks, waiting and worrying about the letters of offer which arrive REALLY late (two weeks later than other ppl). Made me worry like hell. I am also debating with myself which course to take next, i mean, this year. I just can't understand why other people decide just like that *pluck fingers* and I am still deciding after all this while...I guess I just think too much..haih

I also won’t be blogging for at least two weeks because I will be going to Perth for an interview. Yups I’m going back to Perth where most of my friends will NOT be at and I got an interview for medicine and dentistry. Woohoo!! ..=.='''...Second reason is that I would have to wait until my laptop is repaired. The stupid USB port burnt a few days before I came back when I tried to connect the camera to transfer some photos…L…

So, meanwhile I’ll writing my post on my com and post it whenever I have the chance. There will be interesting posts coming up very soon, including: a fashion show, a sequel to my post on working and the long delayed (and delayed) PWH music awards coverage…and later today I will be going to see a procession in the town centre. Hopefully I’ll get some good photos ;)

Here's me, wishing you all

Happy New Year !!

and may God bless you with wonders in this new year!!
