Lets End the Year with excitement

I wrote that as my title because I hope all my friends can have that since I am not having the chance to.

To be specific, I have no plans for New Year eve..Ain't that sad? I am so lifeless. No friends or cousin to count down with. Was convincing dad to go to KL but he ignored me..So this means I have to stay at home and probably sadly watch TV on that day. Luckily I am going out with my friends on New year. If not, it will only be like another normal day of my year. Hopefully it wont turn out as bad as I thought!

Here I come

As the picture showed, my sister came to Adelaide to 'visit' me last Thursday which was 10th of December. Had heaps of fun with her and it is actually a good trial to remind me about living with my family again before returning back home..Well, it is different. It is weird in the beginning but it went well after few hours. Haha..

It is officially 17th of December now (according to Adelaide time). Will be back in Malaysia in just a few hours. Boarding at around 2.30 pm and the flight from Adelaide to Malaysia will depart at 15.30...I am so excited. Am I? I really don't know. I somehow have this mix feeling in me. I have to start to learn to adapt again. After leaving the country for 9 months, I don't really remember how is Malaysia like in detail. All that's left is a rough picture. Friends warned me about lots of stuff but I bet I will blend into the normal routine in a short period of time. Hopefully.

Anyways, I packed today. There is so much stuff. I did not realise that until today. The worst thing was clearing up the fridge. It was quite gross. I don't want to recall. I was wondering, if I have that amount of stuff when I am only here for 9 months, what is it going to be like 3 years later when I complete my course? As high as a mountain? Haha....

Oh well, I better leave. Need to catch some sleep tonight so that I will be able to convince mum to let me drive home tomorrow. I miss driving!!!!!

6th December 2009

On the date above at approximately 2.50pm, I am officially left in Adelaide all alone. My whole world is back to Malaysia except for me. When I left Airport, I was still alright cause Li Eng was by myside. But when she left at bus stop 6, I was left alone in the bus to get back to the city. The journey home seems to be longer than ever before. Walking down the busy lane under the sun in a sombre mood was what I was going through. Maybe it was also because I was really tired because I did not get enough sleep the night before.

Once I got home, I slept like a pig. From 4pm to 10.30pm. I set my alarm at 6.30pm. I planned to get up and cook dinner and watch Glee while eating. But I ended up offing the alarm and continue sleeping. Was awake at 8pm but I still felt really tired. So I thought of sleeping till the next day until I received a suprise call from Li Eng at around 10pm. She asked if I want to go for dinner with her tmr. In my half asleep mood, I said OK and hung up. As my head sunk on the pillow, I suddenly wondered why she wants to have dinner with me. That's weird.

In the end, I woke up after that call. Can't sleep. So I onlined and chatted with a few people. Shalini J was the first person to wish me this year. Love her so much. After that text, I finally understand whats with the dinner appointment. LOL..I was so blur that I did not remember that it was my birthday the next day. Hehe..Hilarious. It must because of the Dai Di and alcohol the night before. Thanks to Nicole, YH and Aman....

Fast forward the time, it is officially 7th of December 2009 and I am 19 years old. Can't tell people that I am 18 anymore. 1 year passed so quickly. I am older now. Instead of going out for dinner with Li Eng, she actually got me a suprise. A few people came and we had a cheese feast. 4 types of cheeses and we had that with crackers while drinking 2 bottles of sparkling juice with 9% n 11% alcohol respectively as well as sweet strawberries. It was great. All our faces tuned red showing a sign of drunkeness. But who cares right? And thanks to Chien and Eunie, I had cupcakes as birthday...It's my first time having cupcake instead of a cake.But also thanks to Lear, I have a whole carrot cake to myself. Haha..

Just wana say thank you everyone who made this birthday special and memorable....Love you guys lots.

Extra Love : Nicole, Lear, Yi Huan, Aman, Chien, Sandy, Ashley, Li Eng, Eunie and Eva!!!!!

Life is Good

I just have to say this. Had been sleeping quite alot after Finals. I slept for almost 14 hours last Friday. I was dead tired without reasons. Internet was down for the past few days and it was a torture. Imagine having no internet and no classes. I seriously had nothing to do and I have no drama from my friends. But Thank God the internet is working now. I really thought I would have no access to the world until I get back to Malaysia. Luckily this is not the case anymore. Really glad.

Got Gossip Girl Season 3 from Aman Tan...He is awesome. The GG supplier...Haha...And now, I shall entertain myself with that as all my friends slowly fade off from Adelaide one by one. The last batch will be on the 6th. By then, everyone will be back in Malaysia. Sadly, I will only arrive after they have finish their 10 plates of char keoy teow or however you spell it. With those movies and dramas, I hope I wont be bored to death..

Cant wait to go back..

17 days to go as it is already 30th of November 2009 at the moment.

See you guys soon!

Done

Yea..I am finally done with 1st year!! Had my last paper and I am declared a happy girl with 3 months break from now on.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Lifted Up

Today marked the beginning of my Final Exam. Had Pharmacy Practice paper. The paper wasn't tough but answering correctly might be a tough thing to achieve. It is so broad that some questions, you just won't know what to write exactly. I was debating with my inner-self through out that paper. Kept thinking about what to write and to think whether what I wrote will be an acceptable answer or was it just going be another sentence of craps. But Thank God it is done. I should get over it and start focusing on the 3 other subjects coming up. Will for sure do my best and hope it is enough to earn what I wish. I believe it is coming to an end very soon. Once exam kick starts, it also shows that things are wrapping up. Especially when I don't have gap in between papers. So the next thing I know will be me having my last paper and will be walking out of the hall in peace and joy. Right? Prefer it that way than dragging it for weeks. That would be more torturing. Just do it and get over it.. That's all I want.

Its 20th of November. So fast. This year is going to end in approximately 6 weeks and precisely in 41 days. That is really so fast. Will I think 2009 is a fruitful year when I look back? Hopefully the answer is Yes. I earned so much this year, mostly friends. Met some really amazing people this year and they just make my life more enjoyable and fantastic. Life is great with those laughters surrounding me.

Just thought of writing this down cause I am bored of studying.

So, will update soon after exam.

Good night world.

Michael Bublé

Haven't met you yet by MB is super awesome. Check that song out yea. Although I love that song alot, I don't really listen to it as it is so addictive. I don't want to get too into it. I mean not at this moment. I will listen to that song continuously for 24 hours after 24th November 2009 12.30pm. Had been listening to lots of Chinese songs nowadays. I prefer listening to Chinese songs while studying. Why? Because I don't know the lyrics and actually have no idea about the songs I listen to. They are just randomly saved in my computer. Probably that's Megan's great job last year. 80% of the songs are just random and new to me. That's good I guess. Music only plays in a role in keeping my mind awake and alert so that what I've studied will be stored in my brain at the right place and will be blurted out during exam. I tried listening to English songs and the next thing I knew, I was day dreaming enjoying the song and at times singing along.Lol. I really can't take it. It's driving me crazy. Maybe it's just my problem. Everyone has different habits I guess.

Anyways, Michael Buble was the guest judge on Australian Idol this week as well as next week. I am so excited. He is so amazing. So good looking. So humble. So friendly and just so likeable. Lol. There's s much fun with him around. Stan's performances were once again marvelous. He is just a soul man. Hayley did good too. But I really hope Stan will win. Next week will be the big show. It's finally the Finals. Can't wait for next Sunday eventhough I will be having exam on Monday. I will sacrifice my 2 hours just to watch that. Or should I not? Dilemma. Will see how everything goes next week. If studies is alright, I will watch. If not, then I might ground myself in my room. Seems like a good idea. Right?

It's 12am now. Time for me to get back to my lectures notes.

Missing all of you.

Hot

The weather is super awesome nowadays. It's hotter than Malaysia and the sun is glaring straight from my face to my very toe.. It's not a good thing indeed. My feet are 3 tones darker and my whole body is atleast 1 tone darker now. Sad!!! That's how the weather is going to be for the rest of the week. I am so dead. My room has no air-cond and that I survive sleeping with only the fan on. But luckily there is still fan. That is amazing. However, it now takes me longer to fall asleep than usual. I can only on the fan to medium as whenever I on it to 'high', it's like the whole fan gona fall off from the ceiling. It's scary. So like what Lear kept repeating to my ear, it is seriously no doubt that my life is kinda sad right now.



Exam is commencing next Thursday(19 November 2009). I am not really nervous but I bet I should. Its the Final Exam before my first year end. Excited but not because first year is coming to an end but it's because I am going home soon. Yea!! 36 days to go..Only need to survive another 36 nights without air-cond. There's hope!!!!!!!



Till the next post..

Love,
Tammy

Hope

I am back. It had just been 24 hours and 30 minutes since my last post. Indeed it's like what I wrote in my previous post. 'Will be back soon'. Lol.

Today 6th November or should I say yesterday since it's after midnight now marks the end of my attendance in Uni as a first year student. It's been a really long journey and like what the lecturers said, " We've been through alot". That is true. Finally all assignments and practicals and tutorials are done for the year 2009. What's left is only the 4 papers to be conquered in Finals which will be held from 19th November to 24th November. By then, I will be officially done with first year. Of course that only happens after I pass all the 4 subjects. I am sure I can!

In this merely 1 day and 30 minutes, so much had happened. Mixed emotions. From happy to sad to depressed to angry to have hope. At least I end my day with a faith of hope in my heart and so I guess it is not too bad. I learn most in bad times. Without going through those storms, my heart did not know how to appreciate the calmness. Troubles are always here in reality and all I need to do is just to prepare myself for it and to make sure I know which side to turn to at those periods. Louie made my day again today. I am really glad I end my night with a message from him. It's really inspiring.

My eyes are fixed on You alone.

Love,
Tammy

Satay and Dim sum

satay

'har gau' which literally means shrimp dumpling

Saliva lingering in your mouth? My answer is YES!

I am really tired right now. I had been studying since 8am this morning and it's already 11.45pm right now. It has been approximately 12 hours after deducting the time I spent for lunch and also day dreaming trying to distress. Finals is just 14 days away and I am super nervous right now. Done with two subjects but I still have another 2 to conquer. It's not easy but it's not impossible. Right?

Anyways, cause I am tired, I decided to call home just now. Talked to Jeslyn a little bit as she is also quite stress studying. SPM is just 13 days away and both of us will surely endure till the very end of this race. After talking to her, she passed the phone to mum. Mum was practically quite excited to talk to me. Hehe..Out of the blue, she said he bought satay and she was trying to make me jealous. Seconds later, she suddenly remembered she forgot to go pick up the satays that she ordered. LOL..That's so funny. But indeed I feel like eating satay now. After talking about satay, she talked about my room which she said it is now filled with dust since no one is staying or even bother cleaning it. Sad~. Instead of asking her to please not abandon my room, I told her that I want Dim Sum for my first morning in Malaysia once I am back. She laughed and said "Nonsense...That's so not a problem! You can order everything you like and have them all youwant"..Lol..That's so sweet. It had been so long since I felt pampered by mummy. Felt like I am back being a child. So fantastic..

And now, I felt so distracted. I can't focus as 'satay, dim sum and 42 days to go' keep flashing in my mind. I also learnt that it's not a perfect idea to call home when you're studying. It's the worst form of distraction.

Anyways, I shall revise another lecture then sleep kao kao..

Will be back soon.

Time

I seriously have to accept that time really flies. In a blink of an eye, I am now done with my Pharmacy Practice patient counselling test. Thank God that I got a simple case and hopefully I did well enough to score all that I needed to. And what's left for my First year is the 4 papers in finals which is only 2 weeks away.

Sms-ed mum today and apparently, I have only 44days left(according to Candise) before I step on the rich land named Malaysia. All I can think of now is what I want to do and eat when I am home. There's so much to do and enjoy..Haha.. But...I have a problem; the weather. Last week was the hottest week I experienced in Adelaide since I came. It was around 33degrees...I seriously cannot take it. I don't even want to get out from the house. Told my dad and he teased me..He asked how will I survive when I am back. That's true. I answered him that I am going to stay in an air-conditioned room all the time. He laughed and said "What about my electric bill". LOL.. I bet I will adapt to it as I will need to go through summer here before returning. The heat here during summer will be much worse compared to Malaysia. Right?

Anyways, I have to get back to my book now. Torture myself for another 2 weeks before the fulfilling holidays.

Love,
Tammy

Nightmare

Pharmacy Practice 1B is the most challenging nightmare so far. Next week will be my interaction test. I haven’t even remembers all the symptoms for the conditions we were supposed to study. If I am not mistaken, there were around 15 types of medical condition that we should learn by heart. We have to know the symptoms, the treatments as well as the referral points for all. However, only one case will be assessed. Imagine walking into the pharmacy practice model with the lecturer as the patient and you as the pharmacist and not knowing what case will you get. The feeling is just scary. It’s stressful. I have exactly one week left and I felt so unprepared. Practised with my friend the whole day today but I still think I am not good enough. I still paused and at times, gave the wrong medication. Gosh. Help me!!!! Have to practice till perfect before Tuesday(3/11/09)

Besides the interaction test, we will also be sitting for a paper on this subject in the final exam which is 3 weeks away. Our lecturer told us yesterday that they will be negative marking for the MCQ. That is new for me as I have not experience it before. For every wrong answer, 0.5 marks will be deducted. For example, if you get 1 question right and 1 question wrong, instead of getting 1 out of 2 marks, we will only be getting 0.5 out of 2 marks. This is actually to ensure that students are not just guessing the answer but to actually know them. I guess, I should not take MCQ lightly then.

*3 weeks to exam, 7 weeks to see Jeslyn, 8 weeks to Malaysia*

Chicken of Durian Aroma

Yes. The title speaks it all. I bet you can't wait to read about that gross stuff. LOL.. Instead of the sweet and nice durian smell, this aroma is far worse. It's no where near. It stinks.

I left my chicken in the fridge instead of the freezer. I was supposed to cook the chicken a week ago which was when I defrost it. But guess what, I left it there for a week and when I opened the container, the smell was super duper strong. I chose to cook it anyway cause I have nothing else left. Everything else is in the freezer. I need to leave soon so I did not bother much. Just prayed that I will be alright. I cooked with oyster sauce thus it did not taste so bad. The sauce actually covered the rotten smell. I drink milk every morning but the milk tasted a little sour on that day which was the next morning after my rotten chicken dinner. Instead of going without breakfast, I decided to just drink that whole cup. I know you must be thinking I have a problem right? This is what happens when I am desperate. Hehe.. But thank God that I am alright. No diarrhoea or even stomach-ache. Told my friend about it and all they can say is my immune system is strong. LOL..Speechless~

Anyways, catch up with you guys soon ya.

Till then.
Love.

Hug Me

This is the Hug Me T-Shirt I mentioned in the previous post. Ain't that little monster cute. Anyways, I just thought of uploading it. LOL.

Bye..

Awesome

Today had just been an awesome day. A friday to just come and relax and tell myself it's time to refresh and work harder in the following weeks. Things just happened randomly today and they were all good. Class ended and Lear and I went to KFC. We then went to Jay Jays to get a T-Shirt. A T-Shirt written Hug Me with a really cute pic on it. I was actually gona put the picture up but apparently, I can bluetooth the picture to the computer. So, I will do it tomorrow or next time then. It's really cute.

My mood today was really great. I am all hyped-up. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the weather. Anyways, I just happened to watch Ultimate Gifts today and it's a nice movie. The message out of the movie was that even though we can't achieve our own dreams, we can still help others to fulfill theirs' if we are capable and that how true friends stand by you at difficult times but 'friends' just try to avoid you at those moments. This is reality and we just need to grasp the concept. Sometimes we are so blinded by temporary things. We need to lose things and maybe all things before we learn to cherish the things we have. So perhaps I should start appreciating the stuffs that I have now.

Anyways, I went to OCF as usual. Just went without any expectations. I knew we were gona watch a sermon today but I did not know much about it. It turns out to be 'How Great is Our God' by Louie Giglio. I just love this man. He is such a great man that God had created. The video was amazing. It really struck me on how teeny tiny we are compared to the universe that God created. But you know what, even though He is so great and majestic and powerful and almighty, He still cares for each and everyone of us. He know us from the strands of hairs we have to the emotions we are going through. I am so fearfully and wonderfully made. I thank God that He is always there for me that I are not alone in difficult circumstances. He knows our situation. He may not necessary take away and perfect those circumstances but He indeed does have a purpose and plan for us to go through that. A plan that none of us can imagine or expect as He is just so Great and all we need to do is just rely on Him, wait upon Him, be still upon Him and have faith that through Him, all things are possible. Like what Isaiah 40:29 says, 'He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak'. Draw strength from God and we will surely overcome the problem and bring Glory to God.

OCF was great. Did chat with a few people and it all went good. Well, I came home and I was supposed to study my Upper Respiratory Tract Infection lecture but I ended up watching Fireproof. Well, it was random as well as I did not know why and how I found that movie and clicked on that link. I guess it's all planned out. God's mighty plan. It's a movie about mariage but that's not about it. It's the meaning of the movie that touched me. I got to admit that I actually teared while watching the movie because it's just so beautiful. The man asked his father, "How am I suppose to show love to somebody over and over and over who constantly rejects me". It was meant on his wife. His dad then answered "It the same thing. God loves you even though you don't deserve it and even though you constantly rejects Him". Through the love from Jesus that we will learn to truly love others without expecting returns. The man then got that and accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour. We sometimes forgets to be grateful about that fact. We just constantly rejects and step back but God always draw Himself near us. He constantly move forward and He is constantly loving us even though we rejects Him. We don't deserve all that He has done but He did it for us. It's just amazing if you think about it. It really is.

Anyways, I am getting a little too long winded here. Even I realized myself. Sorry for that. I bet no one would actually read this post from top to bottom but I do think it's great for me as I have just learnt so much in this 24 hours. It's getting late and I have to leave as I need to rise early tomorrow.

Good night people.
Love.

Claude

I just suddenly have the urge to write this down here. Guess what, since Claude knew how Skype works, he called me like kinda often. Cause I access Skype through my phone, thus I am 24/7 online on Skype. And whenever he feels bored, he will call me.

Guess what again, he just called me and this was how the conversation went:

Claude: Hi zhi ling jie jie
Me: Er, Hi Claude.
Claude: So where are you now and what are you doing?
Me: I am in Uni now and I am doing some work.
Claude: SHOOT! Sorry. I thought you're free.
Me: Haha.. So why did you call me?
Claude: I am bored that's why I called you. OK la..Bye then.
Me: Haha..Bye.

It was our 45 seconds talk but it was kinda fun and random. I guess he is the only cousin who will think of me when he is bored. LOL..So sweet of him. Cute naughty little boy.

That's all I can say and now I have to head back to complete my Physiology abstract.

*Don't miss me although I know you will. yes.. It's you that I meant. YOU!

Random

This is meant to be a random post as I need a break. Am in Uni now and I am in the midst of looking for information to write for my Chemistry essay. It's rather not fun as I don't have much of an idea on what am I going to include for the topic chosen. But well, I believe I will and it will be done before the deadline. So much to do but atleast my Physiology presentation is done today. ONE DOWN!!!!! More to come~

Anyway, it's like 3.25pm now and I have 2 hours and 35 minutes to go before my next lecture which is at 6pm. Tuesday is not a good day as I have to reach Uni at 10am and only finishes class at 8pm. Tiring but after all, I survived and there is only 3 Tuesdays left before we end this Semester. YEA~

I am hungry now but I can't eat as I only brought 2 pieces of bread and I bet if I eat now, I will be hungry again before 6pm. Ish..I shall forgo the hunger for the sake of saving money.

Just thought of sharing my sad life. Gota get back to reality now.

BYE!!~

Again

Just feels like dropping by again to just write something here. This is because of Stan Walker. As I was reading his blog, it just inspires me to blog more. Reading those posts are really interesting as they are all funny. LOL..

Yesterday was awesome after I logged-out from my blog page. As I wrote, I went for a jog. I was supposed to jog around to look for a barbeque pit for Lear Law as she's planning for an outing. So I just do her a little favor. I usually jog around Elder Park but I jogged around both Elder Park and Torrens River to look for the pits. Gosh..it was tiring. The track just go round that once you started there is no way to turn back. LOL. So I have to perservere till the very end to reach the end point so that I could walk back to my Apartment. I remembered there's one barbeque pit but as I jogged yesterday I saw none. Nonetheless it was good that I got to burn more fats. Once I reached my apartment, I can't feel my legs anymore. They got detached from my body( exaggerating..Like what my dad always say about me. I like to exaggerate and this habit got worse since I came here.) LOL...

I jog every Saturday(apparently), cause I think it's a good way of getting out of my stress zone and stepping into the relaxing zone by just having to enjoy the cool air and the green nature. It's great. Chatted with my cousin bro yesterday too and he said he is having his A-Level finals this coming week. LOL..But I don't know why and how that we landed on the topic that I jog every Saturday. Immediately after that, he said to me " Sure very fit d right"..Gosh..So not. I am not even close to the word fit. Still as fat as usual. Actually no..Fatter than the Malaysian Sze Lynn..Why? I eat lots of fatty food and I go for jog. So the equation will be Fat + Fatty foods + Jog= Fat. So, I am not fitter by jogging.

I don't know why this whole post becomes my jogging post. Anyways, let me just share something intersting with you. My chicken curry was yummy and I am cooked red bean soup today and it's delicious too..So proud~ Blush~ This is me..always syok sendiri. LoL.

I think I should atleast stop here so I can get back to my Pharmacy Practice dispensing scripts. Need to complete everything. Then go for Drums later. LOL..

Dont miss me..
Chat with you guys later.
BYE..MISSING EVERYONE!

Dropping By

I am still counting down and everytime I do so, it's cracking my nerves. 4 and 1/2 weeks to final. However, I am still procrastinating. Ain't that sad? So I thought, instead of browsing through the net maybe I should atleast pen down something here then I might be satisfied to then browse my books. Hopefully. LOL. The previous week was all about studying. It was Chemistry everyday as I just had a test yesterday. The paper wasn't that hard but I would say, I did not do a great job there. It was just so so..and I just practically screwed up one of the questions by just merely ignoring the extra information given. I just wanted to hit myself for doing that. What's done is done and all I can do is to pray that it wouldn't turn out as bad.

Peer pressure is really getting me now. Without family by my side, friends are the people I am closest with here in Adelaide. I am really glad that I've met some really amazing people and that I know I can learn so much from them. Everyone is studying like crazy and it's causing me to do so. That is really good. It kinda made me feel guilty if I dont study and that's exactly what I need now as to neil my finals. The downside to that is that they are really smart and I have got to admit that I am not as brilliant as them. Thus I sometimes feel quite intimidated by that. However, I would not let that hold me back. Those thoughts will just need to be polished and made positive by just simply having to say "I have to work slightly harder than them and I can surely achieve what they achieve". I have faith in myself.

Saying "Yes" to the previous paragraph, I MUST start to say "NO" to junk foods. I have been eating lots of chocolates nowadays. Why? Cause they are all on sale. It's not like it's a must but I just can't help it. I just have to buy cause they are really cheap now. They are trying to clear all winter chocolates. Apparently, one of my friends told me that the chocolate made in winter and in summer is different. This is so cool as I never knew that. So I guess this is why they are selling them off at low prices so that they can stock up those summer chocolates. So yes, I have plenty of chocolates to eat and I should STOP buying more.

Those chocolates will accompany me throughout my studying journey till finals. Taking bits by bits, day by day. Yea~

So, I guess I'll go prepare my curry for tonight's dinner and then go for a jog. I promise I will study something today eventhough it's a nice weekend. LOL..
Reminder: (8 & 1/2 weeks to be back in Malaysia)

Till then.
Love~

Sixth of October Two Thousand Nine

In a blink of an eye, its already October 6th 2009 which is also the 267th day of this year. Ain't time flying? Yesterday marked the very last day of my school break for this year until I finish my first year of Bachelor of Pharmacy. So scary and unbelievable. The next time I have my break will be on the 24th of November 2.30pm...That's when I can smile and walk out of the exam hall feeling all relief until March 2010 starts and all ready to start my second year..

Today's an amazing day. Went to Uni at 10am and was there till 8.30pm..10 and a half hours. Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner = 4 pieces of bread, 1 energy bar and 2 cups of milk. However, the good thing is I don't feel hungry..Yea. I really should start eating that amount everyday as I bet I have gained a few pounds since the last holiday where I was just eating non-stop. Now, I have to do twice as many sit-ups. That's so not fun. But I guess it will all be worth it as the pounds I lose here will be replaced by all the food to be eaten when I am back in Malaysia. Can't wait for that.

Also starting from today too, I officially have 7 weeks to my first paper of finals. The worse thing is, there are still assignments and tests in between. 7 weeks ain't long. But, rather than to panic, I guess it would be a better idea to just do my best and manage my time well. I want to have a life too even in the midst of these assignments and exams. So, I have decided on my life for the next 7 weeks. It's just plans but I will try my best to stick to it.

Resolutions:
1) More on textbooks and revision books
2) Less on laptop
3) Barack Obama
4) Basic
5) Talk less and do more

So I should really stop blogging and facebook-ing. I should be studying now although I am tired. I cannot start giving excuses to myself. I cannot start procrastinating. I cannot start being lazy.
I can do all of that 8 weeks from now while waiting for my sis to arrive since I will be here all alone. LOL...

So, I should probably hit my book once again.

Till then...
XOXO

Speech of Silence

At moments like these, perhaps silence is the best thing to do. Ignorance is bliss. Not knowing will be so much better than what people want to tell you. It might be really annoying and confusing in the beginning, but as time goes by, everything will be alright. Sooner or later you will get used to it or perhaps immune to it.

That's all I can say. Don't ask me as you'll still get the same answer...a silence. Blame me if you want, but my stand will never change.

-Trying to let go. But it's not easy-

Blank

I realized I don't know you anymore. You had became so foreign to me that I don't know where to begin again. Perhaps, I am never really close to you.

I don't want to always be the one stepping forward. Can it be that way? Why must I be the one? I am just too exhausted as I took so many steps but yet, you're taking steps back and thus the distance will never change. It never becomes nearer but only further.

Sometimes I wonder if I am wrong. Maybe YES..Maybe I should change myself but I can't help by just being who I am. Maybe, it is just meant to be a teenager, silly mistake that I should say GoodBye to. Will never look back again as things can never be like before.

12th September 2009

It was just an ordinary Saturday but it's filled with extraordinary experiences. Woke up around 9.30am to get ready to go over to Li Eng's house to prepare refreshments for the Girl's Ministry hike which will be in the afternoon. We made bread and butter pudding as well as some tuna sandwiches to satisfy everyone's stomach after the hike. After everything, we packed our stuffs and headed back to the city as we were supposed to meet everyone else in the city to take the bus to Morialta Park. The weather was warm. It really felt like its finally spring. No jackets were required and we can finally get out from our house in shorts. We reached the city slightly earlier so we decided to go to Hungry Jacks for ice-cream. Ice cream on a hot day is awesome!!!

So we left the city around 2.15pm and reached Morialta Park at around 2.45pm. Waited for the others and we started our journey hiking up the hills at around 3.15pm. There was a total of 20 of us. The place was just marvelous. It's so beautiful and I was told that if we were lucky enough, we might be able to see koala. Isn't that amazing? Seriously, eventhough I was sleepy, looking at those sceneries just makes me more alert. More energetic to just run up instead of taking a stroll.
Nicole, Lear, Yi Huan and I were so excited like small kids that we kept running forward. Amanda who was the 'mum' kept calling us back to ensure that we were not lost. I felt bad for giving her so much trouble but I just can't help myself. We just kept running away. We climbed here and there like monkeys and Amanda kept asking us to come down. LOL..We did but after like 10 times of calling. LOL..There was once where we did not want to get down and in the end, everyone climbed up to join us. The view from there was breathtaking. After taking a couple of photographs we continued our hike as our aim was to reach the first fall. Which was a few kilometres away.

After minutes of walking, Nicole and I felt a few drops of water on our skin and thought it was drizzling. Anyhow, we can't turn back. We were almost there. The waterfall is just nearby. So we kept walking. Like in 'Finding Nemo' where Dory will say "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming", we went "just keep walking, walking, walking". The perseverance was worth it. We can finally see the waterfall!! A real waterfall. Out of nowhere, Nicole told me "Wei, its not drizzling, its the water from the waterfall..The wind blew those water and thus it felt as though it was raining..LOL". Both of us laughed. Like some retarded girls. Anyways, the water was super cold. It was icy cold.. So we sat on the rocks and just enjoyed the sound and just the cool air surrounding us. Yi Huan and Lear took off their shoes and dipped their feet in the water. They really enjoyed it but when they took their feet off the water, it seems that they were so numb that you can't even feel your toes. LOL..Besides, they just contaminated the water with their 'dirty feet'. Pity those kids who were down stream playing..

Everyone were done talking pictures and thus we walked down hill. The walk down seemed much shorter than the climb up. It's always like that. To is always more torturing than back. Found a great picnic spot and we laid all our food out. Had a time of sharing by Debra and Jade. The topic was about Life stages and it was great. It left me thinking about quite alot of stuffs. After everything, we went back around 7pm. Everyone were tired but surely had enjoyed.

Everything were so perfect except for the part where we were feeding the mosquitoes. It was almost dusk when we did the sharing. So there were a lot of mosquitoes around. The number of bites were uncountable. It was the first time seeing mosquitoes in Adelaide. Had been here for 7 months but I have never seen them. So on this special day, I started to realise that there are mosquitoes in Adelaide too. Not just Malaysia. And oh yea, we did not manage to see koalas. So sad!!

Here are some pictures...

Simply Love

Do we really need to look for 1001 reasons just to love someone? Do we really need to treat people the way they treat us? Can't we just take the initiatives to make the change by just loving and treating people from the bottom of our hearts? By bottom of our hearts I mean just pure. Without considering any other factors and excuses. If everyone can do this, the world will be different. It will be a much better place to accommodate us and all other creatures that are created. Just like the picture above, maybe we can be the one holding the balloon instead of waiting to receive it.

What will we do when a certain someone treats us in a bad way? Will you continue to take them as your friend or will you take revenge by giving them the same treatment you received? There is no right or wrong answer. Different people have different perspectives on things. There are billions of people in this world and there are billions of mind. We are not cloned and thus all of us take things in our own way. Even twins think differently. But we can unite as one.

In my opinion, we can keep things simple. Why complicate it? Just simply love someone. It doesn't really matter if they don't love you back. Atleast you can tell yourself that you're just being yourself when you're with that person. You love him/her the way you want to. That itself is adequate. Love is so much more favourable compared to dislike or in a harsh way- hate. Like what Abraham Lincoln said, "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"

Love is in the air. So if you live on Earth and breathe in the air, you should be exhaling air of love. *Always remember, through the tormoil love may bring, the heart often sees what the eyes cannot.
When love takes over, everything will change.


It's more than saying I LOVE YOU.
* This is general where it includes family love, BGR, friendship as well as just to a stranger.

Missing Malaysia

Yes. The title speaks it all. I miss Malaysia. I miss daddy, mummy and my sisters. LOL..Sounds so childish but yea. I miss them all. Thats why I call home more frequent nowadays. Listening to their voices just soothes my soul. When I am alone and has nothing much to do, the urge to call them is just there. But since semester started, I had been pretty busy with tests coming up and thus I dont really think about home so much. Is that good or bad? I think its positive in a way as I am atleast not distracted because of homesick but the bad thing is, that should not be an excuse. NO matter what, they know I miss them. And that's adequate.

Besides my immediate family, I can't believe that my cousins in Malaysia actually miss me. That just so unbelievable. Webcam-ed with my cousins the other day and I realized one of my cousins is actually now wearing a pair of spectacles. She looked so different. Look like a total nerd..Lol. Everything was fun except for the fact that Kelly showed me her T-shirt. A Pangkor Island T-Shirt. She asked me, "Do you remember this?". I stopped for a moment as I really have no idea about that shirt. In the same time, she is just 8 year-old. I dont want to disappoint her. If she can remember, I should be able to remember too. But my mind was just blank. Seconds later, another cousin sister told me that Kelly got it wrong. They went to Pangkor mid of this year and so it is practically impossible for me to be with them. The point here is, Kelly actually thought I went to that trip. She forgot that I was actually not there. Living with her for one year is really long that it just makes her think that I am with them wherever they go. Hilarious.LOL...

Its end of August and instead of thinking about the finals that is drawing near, I am thinking about going home. Planning on what to do when I am back. Thats ridiculous. On the other hand, look at the bright side, that motivates me to study as the holidays will be so rewarding.

Till then!!!

New Challenges

Few days back was 27th of July which was also my beloved cousin, Claire's 21st birthday. It was kinda sad as I wasn't there to celebrate that memorable day with her. So practically, we chatted on facebook and Msn the whole night. As a way to accompany her so that she doesn't really feel like I was missing. Although she still don't want to admit that she misses me. 24 hours later, on the 28th, it was another cousin, Leanne's 21st. Unfortunately, I wasn't there too. Hope they will both have a great year ahead.

Semester started on the same day as Claire's birthday which was on the 27th. After a 3 weeks break, uni will surely give me a little bit of life as I had been rotting throughout the holidays. I dont know what I did but I am sure to tell that I was busy. LOL.. First lecture itself was a massive influx of informations. Sheridan lectured like a bullet train and I was just trying to catch all that she had said and try to keep them inside my brain. However, only 50% was absorbed. Poor thing. Since holiday, my brain lost it's maximum function speed. Might need a few days to recover. But for sure it won't take long.

Pharmacy Practice lecture was second. It was really nice as we had it in PM-06. After the renovations, it looked so good. It felt so much more comfortable and really gives me the mood to study as everything was just right. From the lighting, to the tables (which wont fall off as you dosed off) and also those seats (which gives me the feeling of chinese new year as it were all red). So yea..Definitely going to enjoy all the lectures in that lecture hall throughout this semester. This subject will be much more challenging this time as I just have a feeling I am going to enjoy it. Hopefully I will. With all those recordings and feedbacks, it actually really makes us improve more rather than like what we did last semester.

So I shall work hard for this semester to achieve what I did not achieve last sem.
I CAN DO IT!

Who Am I

Have you ever wonder who are you and the purpose of you coming to this world? Frankly, I have never given much thought on this until today. The Girl's Ministry of OCF UniSA had a talk on this topic, Who Am I? Before this, I only have a few points on my characteristics in my mind. Not more nor deeper than that. But after today, 23th July 2009, I finally get a clearer point of who am I now. As Amanda shared, I started to reflect and realized how much I have changed. In the handouts given out, there were also columns to write down the positives and negatives experiences that have shaped who you are.

There were many thoughts on the positives but only one negative experience. That experience changed me so much that it is impossible to not realise it. As how the chinese put it, "Each family has it's own problem". At that point when it happened, I started to think, why must it happen to me? How could that? Everything was so normal and fine before this and I really cant accept the change. There are things that I did not imagine will happen or even ever thought it will happen. However, as time goes by, I started to slowly adapt to the situation. I know I have to learn because everything has changed and nothing can be done to reverse that situation. Unfortunately, as time goes by, things did not get better but became worse. I remembered I just hate those situations and everything at home became very stressful for me. For the first time I felt things were so out of control and I just hate it because whatever that is happening is not within my expectations. It was far beyond that. At a level where I have no control at all. There is nothing I can do. I am just a helpless girl in that house. In a house where it contains my once perfect family. Nevertheless, that incident had helped me to be a tougher person. I remembered I was crying like a baby when both my mum and maid came to give me support and courage to just continue the journey believing that things are going to be alright. Furthermore, as the eldest, I must take care of my sisters. I have the responsibility. Now, as years go by, that courage only grew stronger. Nothing can shake it. Once my friend asked me, why am I so realistic at times. How can I not be? Sometimes, people only see from the surface. Who would have ever thought that inside that beautiful house lives a family who once struggled to go on?

Only we ourselves know what exactly is happening. No one can understand us better than ourselves. Do not struggle to be accepted by the crowd as that is only temporal. Besides, you're already accepted as His child. Discovering is a long and exciting journey. It is never ending.

Holiday life

3weeks of holiday and now 1 week left..Time flies. 1st week was merely rotting for me. Sleeping time :am, Waking up time:pm. So pathetic. Negative: No life! But they always say. "Think positively". So the positive thing about living that life is saving money on breakfast and lunch. Especially when I am now spending in dollar and not RM.

Second week was so much better. At least I am doing some stuff. Finally I went for a jog. I was planning since I finished my last paper but I just can't seem to wake up to do that. But on Wednesday, I managed to move my butt out of the bed and get out of the apartment at 7am. Gosh, temperature was around like 6 degrees. So nice. Chilling. The weather was so good. The street was full of white collar workers heading for a coffee before getting into their offices. "I am breathing the fresh morning air", that was what I thought. Few kilometers down the track, I saw a rainbow. As what I will usually do, take out the phone from the pocket and snapped a photo of it. As I continued for another few meters, I felt a drop of water on my head. My heart was pounding as I really don't want it to rain. Seconds later, it drizzled. Before I can even decide whether to continue or to U-turn, it rained heavily. I had no choice but to run back. Hood up but no use as it kept falling off as I ran. Did not really bother but was just running as fast as I could so I can reach home in the shortest time. One thing for sure, I don't want to catch a cold just because I went for a jog. No way. As I reached the main street again, the rain stopped. Took a look at the time, 7.45am. I only jogged for around 30 minutes. That's not my plan. But it doesn't matter. Went home, took a hotbath, ate breakfast and off to Uni. For no reason but I just don't want to stay at home cause I know I will surely do some nonsense stuff. Then sushi for lunch. So delicious.

Besides, as I am a girl, and I can tell you that girls like sleepovers. Went to Lear's house on Thursday. Amazing plan. Nicole and I looked through the thick, few hundred pages baking book and finally decided on chocolate chips cookies and apple tarte tatin( One of the pressure test in MasterChefs). That's for our dessert. For main course, we had glutinous rice and salmon,lemon and spinach pasta. I have to say everything tasted really good except for the apple tarte tatin where I felt the apples were too sour and I am not a big fan of sour fruits. But overall, delicious. The cooking and baking part were fun but sadly, the temperature in the house was not so fun. The house felt like a freezer. It was so cold that we were all shivering except for the host. Lear: Cold? really? no what? I think it's very warm. So we stared at her thinking what was wrong and just ignored her. Her room was also very cold. I don't know how she managed to survive. We were awake turning around the whole night except for Lear. What a successful sleepover!

Results out. Some were more than what I expected but one was lower than what I was expecting. However, I am happy for it. Half a year to go!!!! I shall enjoy this coming week to the fullest before returning to the Uni-life routine..

Till then.

Sit back and relax!

Yes! Here I am.. Back again to just write something so at least people know I am alright and not infected by swine flu or something like that, because the last post was like a month ago.oops..It was actually 2 months ago.That was long..But not too long. Friends, don't worry about me. I am all fine, healthy and jumping around in Adelaide.

Exam is finally over and so, it's the kickstart for the 3 weeks holiday. Its time to play, watch movies and most importantly rest before the next semester starts. For the last couple of weeks, it had been just studying, studying and studying. Abandoning my social life. So, now it's the time to claim it back.

It is almost 4 days since my last paper and so far, everything was great. Hanging out with friends, 4plates of pasta in Ikea, cards till 2am, video shooting, fish n chips, beach side walk, ice-creams, reading and watching movies. So much fun.

But the best thing is, I finally found a place where I really belong. My room. Since I came, I have not really found a place where I can really feel comfortable. Everything is so different from at home. I miss my room, my table and just everything. But since holiday, I spend more time in my room doing my stuff. Out from the hectic world. Quarantine myself. Reading and just relaxing. So, it is now declared to be my private area. Yeah! I am back living in my cocoon. Thats what I like doing. Being more anti-social. Do things myself. I don't mean doing all things by myself, but I mean there are some things that I prefer to do it alone. I think it is because it allows me to think about myself rather than thinking about what people think of me. We have to first understand ourselves and I would say, I have not really understand myself yet.

Whatsoever it is, I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who care for me and people who lighten up my life. Love you guys!!

Back to movies although it is sleeping time.

Till then. XOXO!

Blog!

Like finally it is not dead. Short term memory lost I guess.. As browsing through facebook and it started to get boring, I suddenly remembered that I should visit my blog. Frankly speaking, I dont remember I have a blog for the past month. But its alright as the owner finally visit this link and write a new post.

Nowadays, I am kinda excited about cooking. Perhaps I was thinking that I would be out of home for a long time before returning and thus I should really cook properly and not just those simple dishes that I had been cooking for the past few months in Adelaide. Eat right! It might take up my time but I don't mind. I love cooking!! And improvement is what I am looking for everytime I cook. So I actually bought a few stuff that are vital for cooking so that the food will taste good. Go!!!

Easter break is over, back to Uni life. Assignments and Assessments. But not forgetting those wonderful coursemates that made my lectures and tutorial more exciting, fun and most importantly less boring. Though that stack of assignment is quite high, I believe I can finish them on time. There is less than 2 months to mid year exam that is the final exam for this semester. A little stress but I can manage it. I am learning to say "JUST DO IT" copyright Nike and not to say 'TRY". I should fight within myself and if I can achieve that, I should be glad. 100% attention in Uni and at home when I hit the books, focus more on those fine details than just the big picture as well as being more serious.

This blog will be dead again for some period of time. So don't bother on clicking this link as it might just make you end up saying "Still the same", "No updates" or just a sigh.

Till then.

Upside Down

The air is filled with laughter yet you feel so lonely.

Your world might be filled with people, yet you feel so lonely.

Have you ever felt that way? We are always afraid of being alone. But sometimes you just feel like whatever that is going around you is just like a story. Somehow somewhat the story ends and there is no fairy tale. So we still need to go on. People only see the external side which includes what you say and do. Deep down inside, there will always be a secret door where only you yourself have the key to unlock the door. Only you but no one else.

Sometimes, the world is spinning so fast that you just cant catch the pace. So in the end, you were left behind. How you wished or felt pressured to run faster so you can be among them. However, you know that no matter what, you just can’t. As you look around, there will surely be people whom were also left behind. Perhaps, it feels better to be among them than those who are of different speed. Just think, if you were to force yourself to run with those in front, can you bear the pressure? Can you really do it? Living a life of your own is more important than living a life where you think people want you to live.

Nowadays, I had been feeling really out of place. There are a lot of things that is going around not the way I thought it would be. But, I chose to shut up and just live with it. I felt like screaming my lungs out but silently. I prefer to keep it to myself. Perhaps, I am not used to telling people. I am not that type who really share. So just go on like nothing is happening. As time will pass and tomorrow will be a better day.

Love

How often do u say I love you to your parents or even your siblings? My friend just brought up that topic the other day and I was actually thinking about it. It's so funny to see how things changed. When we were younger, we say that very often. As we grow, the word don't seem to appear as frequent. It is so funny when I came to realize that most of the young people nowadays say that 3 words more to their partner or even their friends but not their family. However, does that mean you don't love your family as much as you used to? That's for you to judge. Everyone has different perspective and in this scenario, it's not a yes or no answer.

It has been almost 2 months since I left home. Like of course I miss home at times but not that homesick yet. Thanks to the people around me especially Jasmine. Adelaide gives me a little of the home feeling. So far,I called home like 2 weeks once and Jasmine said it's quite frequent. She practically don't call back unless it's an urgent thing. The longest phone call so far was to my mum which was around like half-an-hour. The usual ones are only less than 10 minutes. It really caught my attention when a few of my friends told me that they call home everyday without fail. Another guy told me he allocated an hour daily to msn video call with his parents. Mine is a whole lot of different story. I video call home the other day for the first time and my mum just came and say Hi then continue doing her work...Haha..She don't seem to bother to sit there and chat with me.. That is so her. My dad did the same thing too. A wave and off he went. Puff~ into the thin air.

Before I left here, someone asked my sister how would she feel not having me at home and her answer was classic. "The same la.. Like when she is in KL. No difference." Haha.. That's so true. While studying in Taylor's, I only go home during long breaks or to be precise 3-4 months once. Not so eager to go home although most of my friends will return back to their hometown once in two weeks. My dad actually ask me not to go home.. Haha.. Perhaps I am used to being independent and not too attached to them. But of course I LOVE THEM!!! more than anything else in the world. My family is my priority.

Quote of the day..
One thing nobody can do better than you is to be you

Here it goes again!

My first exams for 3 subjects and my first assignment's due date are just around the corner. I must really say I have been studying but perhaps not very hard. Just alright. I wouldn't want to say its stressful or hectic. Who am I to say so? I am just in my first month of my first year. This is nothing. Like what James wrote in the email, "I believe that everyone had a good time either doing assignments, preparing for exams or working"(Lam 2009). What I need to do is just really manage my time well. So I decided to stay more in Uni. Life there makes me focus. Even if i use the computer to complete my assignments, I would not open facebook or my blog as I just dont want my internet quota to go to non-academic websites. So that's how I control myself. Unlike at home in the apartment, while doing assignments, I will tend to chat with ppl, check facebook as well as going through people's blog. So, I am just wasting my time. Like what I am doing now.

Other than studies, I am having a real problem now. I am liking pink more and more. Haha.. My quilt is pink and when my friend first came and saw, their first impression "WOw..You like pink that much?". I dont know why. But when you ask me that question, the answer will definitely be a 'no'. But its alright. It's not a bad colour though. Haha.

I am trying to crap less and be more serious nowadays. However, having Jasmine around make it more difficult or should I say like an impossible mission. This is due to the lack of crappers here. I told a senior a crap and she took it seriously. Like swt!! So now I must limit my craps to only those who I am sure can do the same thing. SO far, the confirmation targets are only Jasmine and Katrina. Janet-maybe (can be trained). Got to get back to studies.


Jasmine and I..Eating our toxic sushi!


My favourite tram..

21st March 2009

Its officially 21st March of year 2009 now in Adelaide. 20th March 09 had been a great day. I felt so happy today...Oh no.. It was yesterday. Don't think I can sleep! Class was as usual yesterday 8am!! It took me some time to forced myself out of my comfy bed but yet, i did it! I woke up around 1 hour 10 minutes before class starts. And today, when I asked Jasmine what time she woke up, she boastfully answered me "Very Early..8.10am" I was thinking that was pretty early until I asked her what time her class starts. She told me 9am. That's not call early!! Then my class ended at 12pm. Great, went to get bread and orange juice and head straight back home. Cooked curry.. It tasted not bad people..Dont think I dont know how to cook.

Thanks to Aman Tan. He gave me his whole collection of DVDs. Btw, don't u think that name its kinda special? Its alright. It was quite childish of him as the CD holder was the cartoon Cars holder. But it doesn't matter. It contains alot of stuff. I wanted the movie 21 but due to convenience, I took the whole holder promising to return to him in the evening as we will meet. However, I was reluctant to do that. Then he said, "Keep la..Watch this weekend so you dont study." Like huh? kiasu la.. He admitted that though.

The movie is nice..I kinda like it.. Jim Sturgess is so hot.. I don't only like the movie because of him but the tricks and his attitude that impressed me..Such a talented boy and this really showed me how people make money in casino. These type of things really happen. That's how people got bankrupt. They get addicted to gambling and not playing it the smart way ignoring their emotions. There are moral values.. I learnt something so it's not about wasting my time watching the 2 hour long movie!


Jim Sturgess

Weak

Every 2nd and 4th Thursday will be like today. 6 hours straight of chemistry. It will all start with tutorial, then lecture then 4 hours of practical. Sze Lynn is really weak. I dont like myself that way. I prefer the tough strong me. But do I have a choice? Perhaps yes. Today's practical was my first practical in UniSA. They first showed us a video showing all the safety regulations. Then it was the lab demonstrators who told us where are all the stuff. That whole thing took like 45 minutes. And btw, there wont be any stool for us. They are only for the lab demonstrators. During orientation, Brian Wing, one of the oldest, most experienced and strict looking lab demonstrator told us that unless we have both broken leg or pregnant, or else they wont provide us with stool to sit. With the usual fear I have, I went to take a really heavy lunch to ensure I will be able to survive the whole experiment. Unfortunately, it did not make much of a difference. I HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESSURE so I really cant stand still so long. I am alright if I am moving but other than that no. 30 minutes past, I felt dizzy and everything turned black. I knew I was going to faint anytime thus I quickly squat down. I took off my lab glass a little as we are not suppose to take off our goggles when we are in the lab. Brian saw me and he came to me, asked me to go out of the lab. He asked if I was alright and do I want to sit. Of course I said 'yea'. So he allowed me to sit outside of the lab for around 10 minutes. Then I returned back to the lab and that was when he told us where are the toilets in that building and told us not to be afraid to leave the lab for that purpose. Swt.

Then when we were back to our tables, Sandy asked if I went to the toilet. I answered no. Then she poped up with another question. Huh? You got punished to stand outside? Again I answered no. But out of curiousity, I asked her why she have the thought that I got punished. She said because I actually lifted up my goggles. Then I giggled and said no, I felt dizzy so I went out to sit. She was like "'huh' Oh.. I thought Brian punished you. He look really serious and scary."

It was not even under the sun. Why cant i be a little stronger? I still remember vividly how I fainted in high school. It was during assembly and on that particular day I was late for school. So late-comers were supposed to stand infront while the others were allowed to sit. So I was actually chatting with my cousin who was among the crowd. Suddenly, my world turned dark again and the next thing I knew, I was already in the prefects' room resting. It was simen floor and my head just hit it like a drum. Like duh, it hurts. However, I dont feel a single pain. Just bit my lip as I fell. The best thing was not even that. My friend went to call my mum to ask her to come and pick me up. So she just called and said YEONG fainted. She's an Indian though. So my mum thought it was my dad who fainted. Of course she dont care and continued doing her work. Hours passed. So my cousin went to call her again. Then only she realised it was me who fainted. She told everyone at home. Especially my maid. She was so worried and stuff. Brought the mattress down and everything. Please la.. it's hours after I regain consciousness. I am alright. So as I reached home, I went up to my room. She went looking for me, asking my mum where am I. Swt.. then my mum told her,
Mum: Dia tak de apa apa la.. Sangat semangat.
Maid: Hah? Ya ke? I sudah bawa tilam bawah lo.. Dia dimana?
Mum: Bilik la pasti. Dia terus naik ma..
Maid: Wei, awak bukan pengsan meh?
Me: Ya la.. Tapi sudah beberapa jam lalu.
Maid: Cheh..I ingat awak sudah sangat tenat then I sangat risau. Bawa tilam dan selimut awak ke bawah.
Me: Aiya, tak de la., Saya nak pergi mandi la..Bawa itu selimut atas la.. Tilam simpan untuk maam tidur la.. Haha...

That was the best memory. She was so funny. Miss her so much. She practically became part of our family. Joke together. Eat together. Shop together. She worked here like for 8 years now. However, due to some problem, she went back last month. Hopefully she will be back soon.. My mum cant survive without her. Haha..

Nowadays, I am addicted to Kelly Clarkson's new album, All I ever wanted. The song, I do not hook up and the main song All I ever wanted keep playing in my mind.

Something

I had my first sushi in Adelaide last saturday. As we heard from friends that its best to go to the market on saturday afternoon to get cheap stuff. Its how it works here. They will try to sell off everything as they will be close on Sunday and Monday. Practically the Central Market is only open for 4 days a week. So last Saturday, Jasmine and I decided to hop on the tram and off we went. Great..First stop was a fruit stall. We grab some grapes as they are really cheap and its selling like hot cakes. 1kg for 99c. I had a whole big bag for only like $1.50. Then we went to get some vegetables. As we walked, we suddenly stopped at this Sushi stall. Due to temptation, we bought. It's alright. Once in a blue moon. Then as we walked further, we came to another sushi stall. Even cheaper. So our second round of sushi. Haiz.. In dollar. So I bought two of these for like $3.70. Its cheap yet expensive. However, I shall indulge myself a little bit!



Again, class is as usual. Its getting colder nowadays. So its not really advisable to wear shorts out. I had my very first Pharmacy Practice practical today which I would say it's kinda interesting and cool. We learnt to print data today using a software installed in all the computers in the lab. Each of us occupied a pc and off we go. Doing something new. When we need to type in the name of the doctor, we typed in our name. Then pharmacist name is as well our name. So weird. I am now a doctor and a pharmacist.Those generic names of the medicines are really long and it will surely take some time before I can remember them. That's the problem. As we typed in the label, it will be printed and it we will be in a type of sticker that we can stick on our book which have the picture of the box or container of the medicine. These 2 things are fun. However, the questions are not as fun. We have to look through the thick APF book which contains thousands of medicine to search for the side effects and other counselling advice. Like what? Haiz. When one of my friend asked the tutor, he told us to search ourselves. I know, we should be independent but why cant they help as its our first time? However, this is uni life. Will get used to it.


Then had physiology workshop from 5-7pm. Tiring yet fun. Went to biology lab today. Saw this super gorgeous starfish and so I decided to take a photo of it.

Bravo

Everyone please give a round of applause to Jasmine Su Xian Chan!! She finally decided and bought the mobile broadband! Conclusion, she is more efficient that those window cleaners. They postponed again to next thursday. i am speechless. i dont care anymore when are they coming over as I am done with them!

As everyone knows, Jasmine is not feminine. Am I right? However, she told me something very funny the other day. we suddenly talked about couples talking on the phone for hours. Wondering what is there to chat. So she told me..even after of hours of laughing or fighting on the line, when it comes to hanging up, time will be wasted again. the issue on who is going to hang-up.
Boyfriend: you hang-up first.
Girlfriend: No, you hang-up first..
*This will continue for like 5 minutes.* Then
Boyfriend: Ok, we hang-up together!
Girlfriend: Yea..
Boyfriend and Girlfriend: Ok, Bye!!
*In the end, they will realise that both of them are still on the line*
*This will again continue for like 5 minutes*
-so the total process of hanging up will be around 10 minutes or more!

Agree??

People is asking me to update my blog. That’s why I have to do it so they won’t start questioning again. I remember I have something interesting to blog about but now my mind just seems to be blank. Perhaps it’s due to the early class today. The first is Jasmine Chan went to a shop yesterday to buy ping pong balls so she can play in the games room in our apartment. However, she did not tell me she wanted me to play with her. I thought she bought them because her friends want to come over to play. Suddenly, as we were back in the apartment, just sitting on the sofa after lunch, she told me "come lets go play ping pong". I was like ‘huh? I don’t want!’. Since then she was hurt. All because I don’t want to play with her. Haha.. but that’s not a big deal I guess. Hopefully not.

Besides, another interesting thing that happened is Jasmine getting her broadband. She was actually thinking and thinking and thinking. Considering and considering and considering for ages. It’s more like the window cleaning in our apartment. The cleaning was scheduled on Tuesday, then delayed to Thursday then postponed again to Friday. Hopefully they clean it today so I wont be receiving an email telling me its rescheduled again and sorry for the inconvenience. That’s exactly the same thing that happened to Jasmine. First of all, she thought of getting the mobile broadband from 3Mobile. Then after listening to some seniors’ advice, she thought of getting the home broadband so we can share. After a few discussion, our Singaporean housemate, Jumay decided that she don’t want to be in it. So jasmine went back to the first thought. Getting a mobile broadband. She went to the shop, the sales assistant told her to get a 3 mobile from anyone to check the coverage around our apartment. So ended up her not getting the broadband on that day. As we checked, the apartment actually had coverage. Few days later, a senior again told her how cheap is the home wireless. Confuse again. She went rounds and rounds. She told me a couple of times that she is going to get the mobile broadband but in the end she did not. So finally I told her she should tell me after buying. She laughed and said, “yea..When the cleaners come to clean the window, that will be when I will get the broadband”. SWT!!

People who have sleeping problems. Come to UniSA. They are actually conducting a sleep study and is now looking for volunteers. I read and I found it very interesting. It written that they need someone who can stay in their centre for 12 days and nights. During that period, you wont be given your handphone, no clocks, no computer and stuff so that you wont know the time. Haha.. Don’t you find it interesting? In my opinion, After the 12 days and nights, you will probably have more sleeping problems.

*An update post without pictures is not consider a post (Chan 2009). Think who have the surname Chan and you will know who I meant! So to whoever it may concern, pictures will be uploaded soon as I dont have them with me nw. Changed bag and forgot to bring the pendrive.
