random memories

2009-06-28T02:10:00.005+09:30

was blog hopping n ended up in Aaron's blog n saw some pictures he uploaded. so i stole 2 of them =D

david jones foodcourt one weekday morning in autumn '08. this certainly brings back lotz of memories =)

beach day '08, i wonder who took this picture? cause i really didnt realize....

a lot of things going on through my mind. but i'll eventually sort them out, as always.

youtube is a nice archive of information. seriously thinks it can compete with wikipedia.

am thinking of the ppl back in penang.

lastly, wanna say happy birthday to everyone whose birthday is in late june/early july, when everyone is busy with exams.

the 7 great commandments of group selection

2009-03-17T00:31:00.002+10:30

And verily the lecturer spake...

1) The number of the groupings shalt be 5.

2) 6 shalt not be the number of the group. If the number be 6 then a scythe be taken to that group to reduce it to a number of 5.

3) 4 shalt not be the number of the group. If 4 be the number then its members should go amongst their people and seeketh the additional member, to bring that group to 5.

4) The numbers 3 and 7 shalt not be the number of the group. 3 & 7 are not even close!

5) The email to the lecturer shalt contain 5 student numbers, being the markings of the 5 members of the group. The email shalt not contain anything else other than these 5 numbers.

6) The email shalt not contain spaces, blank lines, declarations of subject choice, or other studently ruminations.

7) The lecturer, on receiving a group assignment email that doth not follow the Law, as laid down by He himself, shalt smite that email, erasing it from the face of the Earth.

.......... LAME right? he must've been so bored. but i'd rather he use his time to prepare his work so that he wouldnt have to skip a lecture that WE paid for to finish up HIS presentation to the dean of school...and that replacing the lecture during OUR holiday >.< this was wat happened last sem la..and all of us wasted our time in the lecture theater waiting for him to show up =.=

so tired

2009-03-13T23:48:00.002+10:30

it's been a while since i was last physically, emotionally and mentally tired >.< even though i sleep a lot every day....sigh had a stupid nightmare where i lost all my money in the bank!! been so long since i last woke up from a nightmare not knowing it was a nightmare @@

some jokers wore animal suit and walked into my lecture hall...then walked out thru the other door...1 was a gorilla(the same 1 in the cadbury and ballet dance thing) and the the other was a dinasaur... i thought it was part of the lecturer's plan till he said "bloody hell wat's going on here!" lol...

my most productive day in adelaide i think

2009-03-07T21:54:00.003+10:30

woke up 6.50am, reached art gallery 8.25am(ops, 5 min late >.<). start helping out for ex race (OCF UniSA's version of amazing race).

was doing registration, then saw these 2 girls coming, so i walked up and said "hi, please register"

girl 1 said "bao xing?! I'm Vivien, from HSC last time"

i said "wow, it's been such a long time!", while thinking "THE Vivien?" (she changed her hair length and dyed it, and was wearing sun shades)

then group allocation, and I ended up in the same group as her, her friend Qian Wen and Esther Goh. had a good time running around the city. quite a few funny things happened, such as thinking that the museum gallery mentioned is actually in the art gallery -.-" haha better though that Jo's team where they went into the State Gallery, and the guard asked them whether they're participating in the race, and gave them fake clues XP

at the pit stop, i managed to get to know Melody Yik, Rachel JT, Tian Tian. and i saw Jane Ng as well! after about a year...-.-"

after that, went home, got my ping pong stuff and went UV to play. saw some ppl from ex race again on the way n ended up talking. found out that Jo had been waiting for me outside UV since ex race ended >.< went in, found out that the lift is spoiled and there is no other way of accessing the common area where the table is. we decided to take the connector van to north adelaide to lincoln college!

played for a while, walked her home, then walked back home as well. the walking her home and walking home myself part took around 1hour15min i think. furthest i've ever walked =P but so fun...got to xplore new route hahaha. oh i found out that Jo was from HSC as well...1 year my senior, Khor Lyn Joo's generation. oh and 1st time Melanie smiled at me also =D

got home, decided to jz go Hungry Jacks for dinner since i was lazy to go chinatown. ended up seeing Jing Han there and we talked abit then came home =D i realized that i left my house for almost exactly 12 hours! 7.56am to 7.56pm hehe..

OH YA! itu Esther Goh started learning how to cycle last week, and she cycled to a location 2.5hours away, and cycled around the winery! and went downhill!!! n fell -.-" quite bad la the bruises on her leg... my point? ppl shouldnt cycle downhill straightaway right after they've learned how to cycle...

haha i tried to abbreviate a lot of things that happened today to keep this short, hope it's not too long for my future self.

ping pong misc n promised photo

2009-02-22T21:40:00.003+10:30

"At the 1936 World Championships (for table tennis) contested in Prague, two defensive players took over an hour to contest one point. The entire match lasted over four hours."-wiki

am so glad i wasn't the referee =D

"Multi-talented sportsman Max Woosnam, an Olympic and Wimbledon champion at lawn tennis and one-time captain of the England national football team, once defeated actor and film director Charlie Chaplin at table tennis while playing with a butter knife instead of a racket."-wiki

Max Woosnam. if u're free can jz check him out. he plays like, multiple sports at the same time, achieving high results for each of them. i mean, come on, butter knife? >.<

the promised photo of me n the girl who accompanied me from PG-SIN. hehe, and also the 1 who intro-ed me to alcohol on the plane =P we actually wanted to try more, but as it was the midnight flight they assumed we were gonna sleep and hence offed the lights and dun really walk around much =(

where do i start

2009-02-22T12:54:00.003+10:30

I wanted to name this entry "revival", but that i am not sure whether i'll continue to update =/ anyway,

realized the importance of uploading photos here as I had some trouble with my comp when i was in adelaide, and i was able to recover some of my pictures cause i uploaded them here. That's Hui Hui who spent wednesday morning with me as i was gonna leave on Thurs. walked around PISA for 1 hour 15 minutes then makan n talk for another 2.5 hours hehe. hope she gets accepted into some of the unis she applied to and hope she gets to learn french/spanish as well.

flew back with Ee Lin. currently doesnt have the pictures that we took together. it was fun flying with a friend, my 1st time. feels better as there's someone who talk n laugh n watches movie with me =)

arrived on Friday morning, spent 1 hour + to pass the custom check T.T in addition to the ultra long queue, smtg went wrong with the lock of my luggage that contained the food i brought into Australia. 1st, he asked me to try prying it open with scissors, then he asked me to bend it out with a plyer, then finally he brought me a bolt cutter to cut it open >.< sigh, but my luggage bag is still useable though...

still getting used to hostel life, as well as life with a roommate, quite glad that it'll only last 5 month, hmm, it's always better with ur own unit n room =D

-signing off-

new shoes, new basketball, new socks

2008-08-30T14:07:00.002+09:30

AMART (Australia's cheapest sports retailer) is having Father's day sale now. Since i've been waiting for any kind of discount for quite some time, i went shoping today =D

my new shoes, ASICS GEL Blackhawk 2. even the name is cool XP click the link to check it out hehe. the colour is slightly darker then in pictures cause it reflects light. oh while u're at it check out the Gel Nimbus 10 as well. I super like the design, but it's around RM720 -.-"

My new basketball is Spalding TF-150 Outdoor ball. i couldnt even find it at the official spalding website, mayb cause it's an outdoor ball. and of course it's not as good as the balls that i've been using back in msia, but seriously couldnt find any good quality ones here @@

Socks. I bought ASICS socks. behold the conversation after i told the employee i'm buying the shoes.

employee: do u need socks as well? cause we have special offers for them to. I would recommend u to buy the ASICS range cause they have extra padding at the bottom as well as spores along the top. we now have 20% off all socks storewide or u could buy 3 of them for $20

me:(thinking)1 pair cost $7. means i save 33 cents off each pair if i get 3. but isnt 20% off $7 = $1.40? nah, i think i'm right, let's just get 2 pairs...

and i actually confirmed with the person whether it's REALLY 20% off each pair. and when i paid i found out it's actually 33% off each pair, as indicated on the brochure =.="

ah, i hope spring comes soon, then i could run outside and POSSIBLY play basketball ^^ how i miss those times lol.

E-nite 2008

2008-08-22T23:02:00.005+09:30

I had so much fun, talking to people that I haven't talked to for ages, meeting new people that I would've nvr get to meet otherwise, I'm so glad I decided to go in the end ^^

Juwita Suwito wasn't at her best because her body couldnt adapt to the dry weather in Adelaide that fast, so her voice was a little bit coarse, but she's still a good singer hehe. and the girl who played keyboard for her was really good too. and her personal testimony of how she came to know Christ wasnt that much different from mine =/

Ps Dean, as usual, preached a fantastic sermon. but as usual again, he used some pretty deep english. and besides he had to shorten it so much that I kinda think it doesnt do the subject any justice. I mean how could u POSSIBLY summarize Hosea's story in 5 sentences!?

people I talked to that I wanna remember:
Chloe and Lee Ann(?). Lee Ann's Chloe's junior! goodness.. I was quite surprised to meet the junior of someone younger than me -.-"

Ee Lin. finally got to talk 2 her. met Geraldine and Ke Ting(?)

Lydea Gan.

and a bunch of others that i just couldnt remember well hahaha.

NOTE TO SELF: girls know it when u r staring at them, for some reason.

list of songs that Juwita performed(click for lyrics if available):
(1) Umbrella
(2) Because of You
(3) For Real
(4) Breathe again
(5) Desperado
(6) a song from City Angel's soundtrack
(7) What's on your mind

I think I got everything correct hehe. oh I got her cover album as well =) but nope, no signature, even though i believe every other person got her signature hahahah.

my 2nd and now deceased duck

chat with the maintainence guy

2008-08-22T14:29:00.002+09:30

the maintenance guy from Uni came over today, had a quick chat with him as he's doing some stuff.

Found out that he worked with the group of aborigines up in the desert North of Adelaide, and how they are sooooo much different from the ones in the city who are mostly drunkards and beggars, and how most ppl just assume that all aborigines are so.

Found out the reason why Adelaide's water is hard. when the reservoir runs out we take water from the river murray. Darwin has pure water due to the high amount of rain. Melbourne has decently pure water too.

we got into the conversation cause the tap in my house is rusted so it kinda burst open and stuff. he said this is due to the hard water. i was like asking how come the tap can burst within 10 years. he said the tap is good quality one, just that the warranty is for the on off mechanism and taht's still perfectly fine.

forgot wat else we talked about hah! tomorrow he's coming over again to change the benchtop and tap(hopefully, if they allow him).

what I see when I look from my home in Penang during sunset

Kuwakchai

2008-08-22T04:17:00.002+09:30

ok, now I too, am quite addicted to this game. Despite the extremely broken english, and well the bad stuff, it's highly entertaining =D click here to find out more ^^

Korea lost

2008-08-21T21:21:00.003+09:30

Korea lost in the semi-final(?) of the women handball... they lost to Norway 28-29. i'm quite depressed as I really wanted them to win.. the situation, 15 seconds remaining and they were down 27-28, they blitz and managed to tie at 28-28, but the Norway players immediately restarted and scored another goal right at the buzz. hm, as u'd expect it caused quite an uproar as it was debatable whether she really scored before time's up. but, aiya just sad la, the Koreans shouldn't have rejoiced that early..

oh ya, for the people who are still oblivious to the news of Mike Guglielmucci's fraud go to this link. But I think it should be all over the media by now?

As for my personal thoughts on it.. well, nothing much really, I wasn't that affected by the whole thing as compared to say... the leadership team in his church, and of course his immediate family members themselves. all in all, i'm pretty much still doing the things i do =/

What I think is one of the best point won in modern day Table Tennis

2008-08-20T18:27:00.001+09:30

he did perfectly what every defensive counter attack player thinks of doing.

tadaa~

2008-08-19T15:31:00.007+09:30

my goodness, can't believe I've been absent from classes for 1 week+ already! Time really flies la... anyhow i went to pass up my assignment today, finally there's direct sunlight to my body ^^

after that i went to buy fixative spray to spray this:

yup, drew that, or more like, traced it from this:

hmm, it's only this morning that i realized i wasnt really trying to draw her in the end, I was just using her pose to draw a girl in general.. felt so bad -.-" but hey, i haven't drawn anything in a long long long time k...

to recap what drawings i still have from 3 years ago...

top left is my 1st real drawing, the bottom left is my 2nd drawing that i completed in 2 periods of maths/addmaths just b4 SPM, and top right is what cheryl drew for me but i figured i'd jz include it anywayz.

ah... fine enough about arts. i just finished watching an awesome handball match between Norway and Sweden(females). Norway won the gold in the end, but it was awesome. Final score was 30-2X. so yea 50+ goals in 1 hour hehe.

for those who likes soccer, women finals between Brazil and USA is on this thursday. Should be quite an interesting watch too.

hehe right b4 I shaved back in July when I went home ^^

Richard Max & Co
40 drury lane London WC2B 5RR

Attn: Bao Xing Guan

This is a Personal mail directed to you, and I request that it be treated as such. I am Richard Max, a Personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Robert Guan hereinafter referred to as” my client" I represent the interest of my client killed with his immediate family in a fatal motor accident in East London on November 5, 2002.and I will like to negotiate the terms of investment of resources available to him.My client had worked as consulting engineer & sub-comptroller with Sinochem International Oil (London) Co Ltd.here in the United Kingdom. and had left behind a deposit valued Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (£6.8million) with a trust company,the amount originated from contract transactions he executed in his registered area of business.

The funds had remained unclaimed since his death and no family member had shown up to lay claim with the trust company,Robert had left no possible trace of any of his close relatives with me, making all efforts in my part to locate any extended family relative to be unfruitful In addition,from his story,he was only adopted and his foster parents according to him had no possible trace of his own family members at the beginning of the year the bank contacted me to provide a EXTENDED family member to retrieve the funds, since his deposit agreement paper with the trustee contains a residuary clause giving his attorney express authority to nominate a beneficiary from the family More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the trust company.

I reasoned very professionally,and since copies of the deposit agreement papers are in my custody,I decided to search for a credible person with whose consent, I can present to the trustee company as my late client surviving extended family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client Looking up on the Internet leads prospect, I was able to locate your contact details and finding that you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity.the legal documents will back up your claim and I am willing to make these available to you so that the proceeds be released to you and we talk percentage.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that protects you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate reprofiling of this fund, Please contact me via this email mr.richardmax@hotmail.com signifying your interest, and make available a contact detail,for communication purposes. Call me on this number +44-8445599109,+44-7902766823 or send a mail and I will immediately apprise you with the complete details with which you are to proceed and direct on how to put up an application to the trust company.

and i'm a bit annoyed with the news of scams everywhere. from the ones that i've gotten used to (DiGi, sick child in hospitals) to the "cooking pop-corns/eggs with radiation from mobile phones"link(i like the way they express their frustration) and to thisssssssss.

but I must say they are really good. Sry for my racist-ness but I nvr expected Nigerians' English to reach that standard. I say that because these so called "419" scams are mostly originated from Nigeria. but bah

1) i could not bring myself to believe that a solicitor would neglect to put full stops at the end of sentences.
2) if i was a next of kin my Dad's generation should've been 1st, b4 brother and then only me. not to mention the over 100 Guan family remnants in Penang who meets up every year.
3) it's still impossible to obtain someones email address legally through the web. i would've done it a long time ago if it was

lazy to think of more now.

but my point is. If u guys are able to receive this kind of scams, u should be able to use google to actually check whether it's a scam? there are actually websites that are set up just to list out ALL the known scams so that people wouldnt fall for them u know...

now what was I going to say.. .right... i don't really like life with chicken pox. it's soooo itchy(and painful) now. at least i get enough sleep. and i shall try to appreciate the feeling of hangover that a certain someone likes very much hehe.

oh yea, with my appetite slightly back, Yoshi brought me:
eggs, bread, tomatoes, apples, pears, bananas, avocado, 1 whole bbq chicken, yogurt, baked beans in can, continental packets.

gosh, i'm at least glad that she didn't bring any trolleys so she had to stop when it was too heavy for her.. and man was it heavy or wat =.=" ahaha but that girl, she even went for her immunization check b4 coming to see me lolz.

even though i know i'm supposed to study .. still a bit blur blur... shall see how hehe at least i can stay awake longer now =) urgh gotta bathe again hha

Chicken Pox

2008-08-12T09:13:00.002+09:30

yea, i really really think i have chicken pox.. i mean, all the symptoms fit! all i need to do now is just to confirm it with the doctors later at 11.30am. urgh, cant believe they grew so much over one night!

and that means i'm going to miss at least 2 weeks of uni! that's a lot of tutorials and lab! i need my medical slip.. i hope that clinic provide medical slip =/ (thnx Ee May for the contact number, they are much more efficient than the uni one)

2 cases that totally awed me:

1) "2 months ago......QANTAS engineers found 95 defects that had been missed during contract maintenance work by MAS in KL....faults included a galley so badly installed it was a fire risk and gave a flight attendant an electric shock...." - pg7,The Advertiser,issue of August 8,2008.

2) my cousin flew into Singapore. As she was passing through the security check point, her metallic belt set off the metal detector. she took off her metallic belt, handed it over to the securities only to realize that all 3 of her bags has been taken away in front of 6 security guards. knowing my Aunt, I could imagine what sort of an argument they got in with the guards -.-" my cousin then described the people who were in front of her at the security check to the guards and they set off searching the airport for those people(Changi airport is not small at all..). Finding them, they said they "mistook" those bags and the guards believed them @@

PS: I look really ugly with chicken pox, and having to stay away from people is not fun, especially when it's someone i really wanna talk 2 but can't even explain myself cause i haven't confirmed that what I have is chicken pox...

Kung Fu Panda

2008-08-06T20:27:00.004+09:30

hmm, watched the movie. the 1st thought that came to my mind a few seconds after it started... SAMURAI JACK!!! man seriously, the drawing style is so familiar =) and i only started enjoying this kind of cartoons from my college year hehe, used to b attracted to the appearance more than the story. but the movie is really funny ler, and the moves are authentic enough to bring back memories of shows i've watched from the late 70s straight through to early 90s. erm, and YES the moves are authentic, despite being executed by a bunch of animals...except for the "Wushu Finger Hold", which btw is really cool =P

sunday evening we had a guest speaker in our church, I'm assuming he's from US but i don't remember his name. anyway he looks like Ps John, a lot. Talks like him too heh.

I scream BORING! for my machine dynamics part lecture on Mon.. don't think i received anything for 2 hours straight.

Tues is always enjoyable cause usually i've got only 2 hours ^^ and i can go to gym *extra* ^^

today... -.-" 2 hours of mechatronics doing + discussing on9 quiz, where the solution is something that wasnt really thought b4.. think our group could at least get 5/10? hopefully... after that 3 hours of SAD(stress anal and design) tutorial, doing 9 question!! that's like taking 1 exam after the other! sigh, really sad la this subject. oh yea i have another subject called NAPS(numerical anal & Probability Stats) where *ahem* people always seem to be taking naps during classes.. oh yea after all this i got 1 hour of tute lagi T.T long long long day... and my classes are from 11-5 so no lunch~~~~~~

urgh, now that i think about it it's been a long time since i learned smtg new about jap and guitar.. gotta start again once i get rid of all these piling assignments..

<2 weeks to E-Nite, <2 months to "the-dinner-without-a-theme-yet", <4 months until convy. =D =D =D =D =D =D =D =D

oh yea, things seem to be going well for my industrial training in Penang hehe, hope i get to work in Motorola though.. targeting it =P and when i fill in some registration form, i was requested to put "lang(speaking,writin)" haha i put ENG(8,7), BC(9,6), BM(7,6) and wrote in my resume LANGUAGES: Reasonably fluent with English and Mandarin, can communicate using Malay, Cantonese and a little bit of Penang Hokkien.
PS: now that i think about it, "a lil bit" might be an understatement, since my entire hokkien IS penang hokkien...

Reasonably fluent with English and Mandarin, can communicate using Malay, Cantonese and a little bit of Penang Hokkien.
aiya that's all, internet quota up, lazy to do anything d >.<

finally...

=) in commemoration of our 5th meeting =D miss ya!

Happy day and some due updates

2008-08-01T23:32:00.002+09:30

today i'm very very happy. it's been such a long time since i last went to OCF, and gosh i've gotten so not used to speaking in front of a large group of ppl =/ Esther said i looked very shy >.<

saw Sammie again today. I haven't talked to her properly since Convention last year as she's busy with her last year of biotech, all the labs and such, miss her lotz la.

Kiran is still funnily cute, bah and it's only in OCF that u get such big reaction for shaving ur beard...tsktsk.

talked to Elaine for the 1st time, this girl who went to PCGHS and is from the same year as me. ah... she finally talked to me and she asked "do you know Pei Qi?". sry la i was expecting someone from pcghs instead of uhs. anyway she said she saw my name in PQ's blog and somehow managed to figure out that it's me, wonder how's that possible... =/

met this other new guy who did AUP in INTI PEN. he was with another girl whom i din get to talk to and apparently their friend is coming over next year. Yay finally there are more penangnite that i could talk to...

the last week of my holidays:
last last Sun i drove home the rain for the 1st time, it was a scary experience with the rear n side mirrors useless and i was trying to figure out how to switch on the lights and wiper while driving XP

Mon, met up with KC
Tues, with PY and Hui Hui, we went to Balik Pulau to eat laksa =) it was very very good indeed hehe ^^
Wed, went back to see Audrey, she was so stressed and busy, but i'm jz glad that she has made more friends.
Fri, badminton for the last time with those youngsters. WY so cute, he came for the last 30 minutes just to see me for perhaps the last time =)
Sat, flew with MAS, spent almost 3 hours in KLIA sitting, then flew to Adelaide and arrive at 6+am with a temp of 2 degrees celcius. i prefer SIA over MAS as it's quieter and the subtitles of the movies are not in Jawi. Nicer food too.

1st week of Uni:
It's gonna be a tough tough sem. almost all the subjects have insanely high percentage of failure rate. and english is the 2nd language of most of my lecturers... tough indeed. gonna try my best though ^^

currently watching the Jap series Hana Yori Dango. there are 2 seasons and the movie is coming up. it's based on the same manga as Liu Xing Hua Yuan(Meteor Garden), despite both being loosely based.

also found an on9 game called 9Dragons to kill my time XP

church in Aussie - EDGE Church International - is moving to a new building, again. This time right on Henley Street. so along the red district of Adelaide there's gonna be a brighter light =) so exciting, really look forward to the future of the church.

Japanese is hard, really hard, i'm starting to feel tempted to only learn to read and write instead of learning to converse in Jap.

As for my guitar, am still unable to switch to Bm or any similiar chords properly. argh i saw this amazing girl on youtube playing "Grow Old With You", sigh wonder when I can do that....

oh yea go to this site. load the video, it's 16mb so it might take a while, but it's SO cool. it's for this reason that I wanted to study robotics. well, actually no, i wanted to build those battle bots for competition.. =P

ah. i finally did it, blogging after procrastinating for 2 weeks hehe. erm, pictures shall go up later~~~

A movie from a decade ago. I listened to the songs n think the movie might be quite interesting hehe. anyway to quote:

#
And now that its been fifty years,
I still have you to dry my tears
And shield me from all fears and harms.

A person which shall be identified as X runs towards a wall at a constant acceleration of "a". His velocity at point "0" is known to be "k" and it was timed that he took "i" seconds to cover the distance of "L" meters between point "0" and the wall. It was recorded that X's mass is "N" newton a that the wall has a hardness of "P". Assuming that the gravitational force that acts on the space that the experiment was conducted is "g" and that all other forces (friction etc) can be neglected. Write down the equation that applies to when X comes to a halt.

Holiday thus far

hmm, it's interesting how it takes only 2 questions to make me smile. all she asked was "do u still go to church?" and "r u bringing ur parents?".

btw, to Chloe, remember i once shared about how there's an old doctor in my church who is like Ps. Danny, whose son got cancer(esophagus)? well after ~1 year, there's now 0% cancerous cells left in his body =)

ok now about wat i DID since i got back last tues...
1) I got to eat food like cempedak, durian, dumpling etc that i haven't eaten for 2 years.
2) I got to train ping pong ONCE in the new INTI building =) got euphoric after that haha
3) I got to drive
4) Learned a bit of Jap. the more i learn the more it feels like learning chinese. - u realize that it's a LOT harder than expected.
5) I got to play badminton! which i'm gonna elaborate on now XP

i played with a bunch of people in which i only know 1 person, whom i've only seen 3 times previously. yea yea everyone says it's good since i got to make new friends -.-"

*30 minutes b4 the scheduled time (which i later found out was 30min b4 the actual playing time in the 1st place...) *

BX: hey send me ur photo now! hurry!
WY: hahaha *bla bla bla* actually, whats your name ah?

i tell u i laughed so badly XP

when i actually met him right, i was really surprised haha. he's like complete opposite of the person he is on9 -.-" but i enjoy the real person more hahahahha

hmm, anyway, got completely and utterly defeated by them T.T hmm but thankfully my body recovers faster nowadays ^^

so far, badminton was the 1st time i hung out with friends haha. next week hav to go back to INTI and find Subarshini.. and gotta find PY too.. wa i'm short of time d haha. oh yea tomorrow night meeting PI. really looking forward to it =)

ah.. wat's left to be done for this holiday.. shopping, pack, write card for someone, submit my job applications after i get my result, write a letter to the me 10 years from now. lol let's hope i can manage...

oh btw i just found out about the KEO satellite, n my 1st thought was, it's so gonna get shoot down XP anyway, if u guys feel like it, go n support it =) it's a satellite that's gonna b launched into space and re-enter earth around 500 centuries (50,000 years, i think) later. EVERYONE is welcomed to write a message to the inhabitants of earth then. the satellite can contain 4 pages messages from every single one of the 6 billion earthlings today so don't worry about that aspect. just go wiki it. oh yea, so is "wiki-ing" in the dictionary now? since i think "google-ing" is? bah nvm.

pictures will go up later

ranting

2008-07-16T00:09:00.003+09:30

i would post something more solid some other time

i just wanna say, sometimes i think i'm pretty pathetic. 1.5 years into my uni life and i still have regrets.

what if i had accepted the offer from Melb Uni? the fact is of all the people that i asked "y Adelaide?", it's cause they were not accepted in other Unis that they applied. so yea, i still don't know y Adelaide.

2nd, what if i had accepted the PR offer and went to US as well? it would've saved a hell lot of money.

3rd, what if i had stood firm in my decision to go to Canberra despite the inconvenience of taking 3 flights from Penang? lol again, why Adelaide?

why not Singapore? when i would pretty much be guaranteed a job is today's world that is hard to find jobs? with so many ppl jobless....

it's just a very troubling thought, since i'm definitely not satisfied with Adelaide lol. as the dude once said "Malaysia's horizon is too small for me to expand my wings, so I shall come back and expand Malaysia's horizon.". i guess i can say the same about Adelaide? sigh...

-end-

not enough time...

2008-07-10T10:40:00.002+09:30

man, my holiday is full! i don't have time to do what i wanna do T.T

anyway here's what Justice Tay Yong Kwang said to Dave Teo Ming.

#
"to everyone there is a season". There was a time when you loved, there came a time when you hated. There was a time when you felt you wanted to kill, now is the time for you to heal. There was a time you were broken down, now is the time to build yourself up. There was a time when you were at war in your being, now is the time to restore the peace within.

what has happened since...

2008-07-09T13:51:00.002+09:30

well let's fast forward to the last day of my exam =)
I was like, YES! finally the last paper is here! cause there's nothing much to study for that paper and i basically got nothing to do the night and the morning b4 the exam T.T

after the paper, which i no doubt passed, i went to OCF combined meet which is dedicated the sending off the SA's missions team. as i'm typing now they must still b undergoing training before actually leaving for China. the night was actually enjoyable, haha Yoshi sang the japanese part of Amazing Grace wrongly XP n there i was thinking I made a mistake at 1st zzz

Sat, cleaned up my room (finally), Aaron came over from 4-8pm to record some of his songs and played a bit of guitar after that, learned the easy version of Ancient of Days.

Sun morn church then slept till night, i 4got wat i did after that..

Monday afternoon cleaned up my house with my housemate, at night called home, announced to a few ppl that i'l actually coming back to Penang, send them pics of myself cause i realized that no one in penang knew i grew a beard.

tues, whole day in airport/airplane. quiet a bit changed. the menu of SIA changed.. i like the old one better. the stewardess announcing in Malay is either really nervous or doesnt know much Malay. for "air turbulence" so took a long time of "errr" b4 saying "cuaca yang kurang baik". and i always thought blanket is "selimut" instead of "pelimut" or m i wrong XP i finished 3 movies(sorta) during the flight: Run,Fatboy,Run, Never back Down, Street Kings. oh n the weather was quite bad so couldnt see much view, except lightning off in the distant horizon.

what I m gonna do during this short holiday:

1) learn Jap, which is actually simpler than I thought as my dad still remembers LOTZ about it.
2) Music (ie guitar, piano, drums). i found the old classical guitar my dad bought last time. i like the size XP and i managed to actually tune it WITHOUT using guitar tuners. somewhere they screw up my tuning everytime.
3) books: Bible, whatever books that I left in Penang.
4) sports, mainly badminton with the "2-year-younger" bunch of ppl, and table tennis if the table in inti is still there.. probably hav to sneak in to play XP, and exercise exercise! i dun even get to jump in Aussie.. depressing..

and.. that's it! 4 things in 26 days!

bah... i hope to actually make progress =)

happening day

2008-06-28T14:32:00.003+09:30

gosh, i went for the DNA course in church this morning. it's a course that tells us why my church does things the way we do. anyway, i couldnt BELIEVE just how many people I met! from the time i stepped into the church till i reach my house, i met at least 13 people that I already know, half of that number is while walking home! the Danny whom i assume was fetching people to the exam hall, shouted out my name from 4 lanes away! gosh it was so funny =P i think he was fetching Chloe? and dunno who else heh... a car full of students. nyway, i had fun talking to the older generation of international students again, man, they are so much more happening than my own generation zzz.

hm, 2.36pm, i should cook my lunch + dinner soon, ady marinating the beef.

will have to study tonight too.

since i'm going back to m'sia, this is an offer to those who are still in adelaide. who wants to borrow some of my books? cause i won't be bringing them home as i have some books that i purposely left in m'sia... whoever wants them let me know before i leave on the 8th.

Jezamine write beautiful stuff on her blog, just go there and read her latest analogy on the moon heh.

there's a nice piano composition by Isisip on youtube, it's entitled The Lonely Road i think, go here to check it out!

random postS

2008-06-25T17:35:00.007+09:30

hm, saw sher ri on the bus to exam hall yesterday. then saw kiran when i was walking home from exam hall.
met joanna in gym today, aww she asked me to shave yet again and saw will stop being my friend and ban me from OCF if i don't =P
met little-Jez-who-thinks-BIG when i was walking home from gym. hah, took her quite some time to recognize me, and her 1st remark was "waa so long d!(refering to my beard), proves that I haven't seen u in a long time"

wahaha i'm happy, cause these are 4 ppl that i had been thinking of recently when i look back at old photos haha. of course there are more.. let's see if i'll bump into them next.

right, i'll post photos and go along.

hm, lecture hall in medical school.. i think it's nice..

Lasagne, i took the whole tray back from church. leftover from an event. they always offer to international students. Cariane: "haiyo, that Ps Ben ah, everytime also say give to international students, like we're in charge of getting rid of leftovers.", or smtg lidat =)

construction site of the new maths building.(they demolished the old one)
the picture below is taken today while the ones above a few weeks back.

DO NOT drink from taps, cups, or drink bottles.... HUH?!? lol that's my reaction when i 1st read it. the sign is on the water tank in gym

hm, as there has been thievery in the school library. it was blur cause i wanted to take asap in case someone thinks i'm stealing or smtg. heh i was tempted to steal the notice though..oh in case u cant read, it says "if we had time to leave this note, a thief had time to steal ur possession"

during my exam preparation i take breaks by walking 1 round around library. that's the 1st time i've been there and i nvr knew the library was THAT bit on the lowest floor =/ the light at the other end is NOT the end of the library, there's probably another 2/5 of the distance to the other side of the lib. oh and i realized that while some parts of the library is like the exam hall(i should take pic of the "harry potter room"), other parts are like marketplace =/ dunno how they study...

ok now on random scenery shots, still my favourites =D

aw, dang it was blur.. but it was the ONLY flower that bloomed in the entire row of plants.

ei my handphone camera tends to make scenery look fake la... anyway if u pay attention to the last photo, u'll realize that the grass IS greener on the opposite end! hm, but i took this one to prove that grass in AUSTRALIA is greener, cause it really is.. nvm next time i shall use a proper camera for that...

oh i watched this movie called The Forbidden Kingdom that stars a lot of famous actor/actresses. but i saw.. Liu YiFei in it! ahaha and my 1st thought was Xiang Long, this guy from my f5 class who was crazy about her. but, she memang pretty la XP and only 1 year older.. LOLZ, include her pic easier =D

ahah, 1st time i see her in modern day clothing, cause she used to always act in ancient martial arts shows, well those that i've watched anyway...
hmm, pretty right? ahah, that's all

thermo-fluids

2008-06-23T23:11:00.006+09:30

really now, combining 2 subjects and giving us only 30 minutes per question that are 20 marks each.

10 more hours and I'll be sitting for this paper. it's an open book paper.

for the first time in my life, after studying for nearly 10 hours, i still don't think that I can pass a subject @@

seriously, how is it humanly possible to remember all the variation in the questions?

i'm just hoping that for each question i'll be able to find a similiar question from either assignments, tutorials, or past year papers, and write everything down within 30 minutes.

argh i don't want to repeat this course! man... plus i won't be here during July so can't sit for supp paper...

I want to pass~~

urgh, worst still, i don't even know how i can continue to study now, so i shall just skim through the past years and pray and hope for the best! am sleeping early so that i won't be too tired to understand the questions tomorrow...sigh..

22nd JUNE

2008-06-22T12:57:00.007+09:30

hmm in the end i studied 2 hours on tues, and studied half day thurs and half day fri. it's actually the 1st time i remember being able to declare that i've finished preparing by 9+pm. but in the end couldnt fall asleep until almost 12 i guess? anyway honoring God is fun =D

the paper went well enough. not sure whether i could achieve HD, but probably a D, worst case a C. after exam i tried walking to Deb's house but couldnt find it =( lack of preparation on my part, too random also. by the time i reach my house i've walked for around 1.5 hours. got to see parts of adelaide that i din know existed though, so it's not like the trip was non-rewarding.

church. sat with Mel. haven't done that in a while. i'm just so tired of modeling myself after other ppl cause frankly, they're not good models.

lunch. found out that besides badminton, UniSA guys play soccer as well! gosh it was so tempting and really really stir smtg up within me again. seriously getting out of hand... but i shall resist it =) mayb i'll join them after winter break, when Ken they all come back from missions trip.

next paper is on Tues. Thermo-Fluids (ie thermodynamics+fluid mechanics). i dont get y they must put 2 subjects together for us, sigh. anyway, it's impossible with my ability to finish studying both subjects. shall just get the basics today and look through the exercises/past years tomorrow and memorize where each type of questions are. it's an open book paper. must remmeber to print things out tomorrow then.

quite scared la, but a C should be easy and D achievable if i want to badly enough =P see how it goes.. after the paper can have fun for 2-3 days hehe.

For my own memory

2008-06-14T00:08:00.002+09:30

so sorry if this post will bore 70% of this site's readers.

handed up the last of my assignments/ can now concentrate on exam, 1st paper in a week's time.

went to gym, syiok betul, just syiok, refreshed!

"ONE" tonight, i don't ever remember combining with Youth of Paradise. I chose to go church tonight instead of BS dinner, shall never regret it, House of God more important. Mike Gug is truly someone to draw passion from. sadly, many people couldnt come, but it's good anyway, got to mix with people i wanna mix with in the end. Oh, James was a surprise turn up.

catered after that, hmm, business wasnt as good as expected, a lot of leftover.

went for supper with Carianne, Lauren, Sarah, Michelle, Paulina, Ee Kai, Jasmine. it was very enjoyable, starting to feel more like part of the church. left at around midnight, Lauren has to get to QEH by 6.45am @@
NOTE to self:

People from UniSA went for supper at the same place, i know half of them. bumped into Amanda, Norman, Pauline for the 3rd time today. still thinks UniSA OCFers are more united.

after i wake up, i have to start studying. it's been wat, 3 years since i last studied this early before exam? but, what the heck, gotta start somewhere. ciaoz.

exam mode?

2008-06-09T15:19:00.002+09:30

i figure i should enter exam mode starting today, and i plan to enter it by tonight, after all, I promised God that if He lets me do what I want to do today I'll start getting stressed for my exams.

Of course before that, there's still another 3 assignments and 1 report, but no worries, they're definitely manageable.

got to play table tennis today, and it'll do for the next few months. don't get me wrong, craving for sports is definitely bad. anyhow, my sense of table tennis is definitely not as sharp.. to somebody: u better not slack, cause IF i see you in the future i'm gonna go full out =D

went back to uni, couldn't access lvl 2 of the engineering south building so couldnt collect my assignments. Printer 2 wouldn't print anything so i didn't print anything in the end.

Today is Queen's birthday so 95% of the shops are closed. there was one that was selling $10 formal t-shirts. resisted the temptation to see further.

got home today and did some cleaning up. am gonna arrange my notes and everything according to my subjects now.. that's the 1st step that i do to enter into exam mode =) wish me luck!

no title lah

2008-06-07T10:47:00.002+09:30

you've gotta be kidding me. it's been so long since i last posted anything? @@

anyway there's nothing new.. apart that i finished all my classes d. but i still have 3 assignments and 1 report to hand in next week so.....

and i haven't started studying, but I am thankful that I am already feeling like studying, which is a good change as I haven't had this feeling for more than 1 year.

i went to coles at 1am this morning. sejuk gila. and i was actually quite surprised to see the number of people there. i always thought not that many ppl are crazy enough to stay awake till after midnight to go grocery shopping. bought things that cost up to 12.05 but gave the person 52. what a joke, as he returned me 39.95, including the $2 i gave him.

going home on the 8th JULY, made no plans yet, but I know i've got lots of things to shop for, supply for the next 1 year 1/2.

random shots from my camera

2008-05-29T21:16:00.008+09:30

i've finally decided to move the pictures in my hp for the past 1 year + into my comp =) but of course... i deleted tons of them to have space for new pics.. so these are good ones that i dun wanna delete! hehe...

these are all sceneries:

now all random shots:

ok now all the pics from melbourne:

It's amazing, but I can remember where the places are for those pics that i took myself. ah.. brings back memories =) especially melb pictures ahaha.

boooooo

2008-05-27T23:25:00.004+09:30

had so much fun yesterday and today, celebrating Chloe's bday. will include more pictures later, for now.. make do with me XP

12 days

2008-05-24T21:58:00.005+09:30

haha it's been 12 days since i last posted here. cant really remember much of what i did. pretty much repetitive la.

but but what i did today is going to be posted, as i have pictures!! haha.

ok fine i don't have pictures from Guys Ministry, but it was an interesting session on how to make money through enslaving banks, share markets and properties. sincerely hope that Uncle Sam would be able to talk to us on a follow up session regarding investment alone =)

erm went to find Chloe in Uni, cancelled my discipleship as i am just too drained to be doing something as heavy as that today. Uni is different, i get to rest and all.

went copycat with her and finally got company to go down to copycat =) abit dissapointed though, it's very hard to admire the dresses there due to the way they are arranged so left without receiving much.

oh saw the "ninjas" then only remembered today they have a parkour demonstration hehe. for those who wants to know what parkour is just go search on9, youtube also got a lot of videos.

Cheryl messaged us at 3.25 and we only saw it at 3.40pm. she said that jogging is on at 4pm. when we reached they already left, so being lazy to change and chase after them we just chilled at the place IN THE PRESENCE OF SHER RI. anyway it was good, i was tired and my ankle is kinda sprained i guess. oh Sher Ri cut her hair =) it's been a long time since i last met her also hehe.

since everyone else had plans for tonight, me and Chloe went for dinner at the chicken snitzel place again. here is the picture of what we ate.

ok the portion is big, although the picture doesnt really portray it. it's so big that i struggled to finish my share(1/2 of it). and I didn't eat breakfast or lunch, except for the refreshment after guys ministry la of course.

but talked quite a bit, and i mean i did quite a lot of talking. haha so happy that finally got someone who was willing to listen to me going on and on for a long time. reflected also on the way home hehe, so it was good =)

ok shall include some random pictures that I took yesterday night after OCF =)

Eugene's guitar that he lend me. Chloe finally tuned it yesterday!

to Chloe: just download from here k? haha I knew u'd like it XP

Hm.. should I shave d? i should set up a poll.. haha Joanna says i look like a catfish and Janice says i look like a homeless person..

muahaha so which 1 is nicer? XP

hmm oh yea..jz chat with PQ briefly, it's great to know that she's doing well. kinda nostalgic tonight, remembered lots of ppl that passed by my life in the past. crap they impacted me so much that i dun think i can forget them anytime soon =)

The I Heart Revolution

2008-05-12T02:25:00.003+09:30

to the people who have heard of it before, and i'm assuming most of u have only heard about it in the form of an album for those who have, i urge u to go to the following link.

http://www.myspace.com/theiheartrevolution

i find it to b a rather meaningless to say that you support the ministry when u dun even have a brief idea of what is it or wat it stands for, and instead supporting it purely because it's initiated by a large organization if u like.

EDIT: ok b4 that, i've been tempted to post this for a long time
http://jejunescatterbrain.blogspot.com/2008/05/coldest-conversation-ever.html

seriously, ppl 2 years younger than me, that generation, their jokes arent lame, they are super cold. =/

ok now get on with the important part X{P (cause now i have mustache)btw after reading this post i realize i hav a lot of grammatical mistakes but is too lazy to change them, since i dunno why when i upload pictures it shows the html script so it's a real bother to scroll down and try to edit, pls bear with me, the english is still understandable.

Karen & I, haha she took me by surprised k, couldnt really react =/

after 1st jogging outing with the gang, hmm the only (kinda) proper pic -.-"

at Morialta Nature reserve.. hmm they actually made it look quite realistic.. notice the "churn" at the feet =D

How great is our God, just some of the many pictures of place. i want to go back there la. btw the zig zag route on the 1st pic is the hiking trail they could fit 3 Asians at most =)

hmm the place is steep enough for them to have this artificial steps thingy haha. btw it would really b a challenge to complete the toughest trail, shall attempt it next time, i can foresee that it will be much much harder than penang hill due to the sheer steepness and windiness of the trail. haha too bad i dont have the pictures of the tougher trails.. too busy walking down for anybody to b taking picture la.. jz say that it's bad enough that Sam Chan and I hav to sandwich Jean in the middle as she goes down. and i took like half a step at a time k -.-"

emo!!! i just realized the super poser (CHLOE!!) in our gang is not in this pic.. y ah =/

Hmm.. end of the trail, shall we turn back?

nah, we decided to climb towards the waterfall XD and yes it's a waterfall, the highest (not tallest, just that it's located higher than the rest) waterfall in a NATURE RESERVE. that's how bad drought in South Australia is. when we actually stopped by the 1st fall(lowest, biggest) on our way back, we noticed that there were no flowing water... and can see the whole trail that we thought was drain/road was actually a dried up river...

on the way back, hmm ok this doesnt really do us justice, where we walked was the edge of a cliff, although one wouldnt really die from that height...

My parcel finally arrived! haha 3 in 1 coffee and satchet soups didnt make it...

set up my wardrobe.. i really solute whoever made it wei, the instruction manual is of almost no use and the only way to set it up is by forcing ur way through, hence breaking the "if-u-have-to-force-it-means-u-r-wrong" rule of assembly. and btw it's much taller than the 90cm as stated on the box, which is a good thing.

one of the thing i made during my workshop practice during mid sem break. this thing is nothing and has absolutely no use watsoever =/ and is super physically taxing. i got so tired that i hit my hand with the hammer a few times =/ could barely lift the hammer by the end -.-"

made over a course of 2 days, 1 day for the block part, the other for the metal bars. it's a hand clamp and it's a success, and at least it has some use =)

wat i did on the 1st day, there are holes cause i was stupid and listened to the advice from the wrong person, ie my tired brain. but haha the important words are there still and my superior says that i'm artistic =D

lol it was very nice =D

muahahaha steak! see how shiny they are =D

chicken soup =P

lol errr nvm jz to remind myself wat i can cook =)

life has been enjoyable =) lotz of ppl around hehe.
Chloe says that i sound like i'm madly in love with every girls that i talk about haha. but it actually makes sense, since i am madly in love with everyone that i'm close to, and if i talk about someone then of course it's someone that i'm close to...

oh dang! i actually just realize that i can upload all the pictures at once shot instead of having to upload them 1 by 1.. sigh..

btw i'm 59.85kg now, haha, compared to 59.95 last Tues and 60.35 last Fri, I am happy lol!

Jamming and dinner

2008-05-05T16:55:00.004+09:30

well, it wasnt really jamming but me, Chloeand Jean went to Lincoln to learn drums from the master in OCF AU - Aaron. hmm i felt very bad as I arrived 2 hours late after I've postponed the whole thing =( stupid Warman Competition la!!!

Anyway, had fun! Jean is a very very smart girl.. she can learn everything so fast =/ plays golf lagi.. haih... lol anyway Aaron kinda brought us through the basic beats la =) after like 2 hours i think everyone learned all the basic beats d hehe.

I m extremely happy cause the last time i played drums was in July's Winter Camp organized by Goodwood church.. SO LONG AGO! haha and the last time i actually DID a fill was like, back in INTI in 06 lol.

after that went jogging with Esther Chloe and Cheryl.. bah Esther was the only energetic one on that day.. too bad Sam Chan injured his knee during football earlier and Yat Tuang(one pour) has knee injury as well... Ei no scandal k!! to whoever understand lol.

then Sun, after church went to the first connect group after multiplication. hm.. it was ok i guess, however i did find out that Mey is an extremely gifted counselor. on top of that it is good to find out that there are other broken ppl, some even share the same brokenness.

Discipleship was on Sun as Moses had to go to some gourmet thingy on Sat. It was actually more enjoyable then normal, maybe cause i'm more relaxed d hahaha.

at night, 13 of us went to Cherly's and YT's place for dinner. they prepared one heck of a dinner wei! like super nice and super filling!

since i went earlier, i got to see how funny Jean, Cheryl and YT were as they prepared dinner =D

after we ate, we played lotz of games (tuki-tuki, bing-bang-ah, the 10 cent coin, open/close?, how many horses, blink, what's this number, how much money, er did i forget any?). it was really fun la, laughed till my stomach cram wei..

haha got to see how crazy YT really is also through videos in youtube =P thnx Cheryl!

hmm i guess that was my weekend hehe, dunno whether will get the pictures not haha.

PS: for my siblings in Christ, go search for laminin, as in google it

Colossians 1: 16-17
For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and or earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together

k.. the camp.. i shall talk more about that when i get the pictures.. which is probably gonna b a month or 2 from now.

the week after the camp wasnt that eventful in the sense that nothing major happened, but a lot of minor things happened. prayer meet + gym + Word + koorong + OCF + workshop + discipleship + jogging + hangout + sleepover + church + Amazing gRace + OCF BS group dinner took up my entire weekend, i basically spent like 14 hours lidat out of 72 hours in my home haha.

starting on Mon(21st), my workshop practice started too. currently lazy to upload any pictures but did castings + GTAW(gas tungsten ? wielding) on Mon, marking off and machining on Tues and Wed to complete my hand tool, and fabrication on the last Thurs.
since Friday was Anzac(Australian New Zealand Army Corp) day ie the day ppl remember the event of WWI, i missed out on heat treatment and another workshop. don't even know whether there's replacement =/

oh but on Friday after prayer meet we went to Morialta to hike. erm, i shall obtain the pictures later.. but it was definitely fun =D ah... but the drought here is really bad.. even a nature reserve that's so far out of the city and is basically made of mountains is sooooooooooo dry! so much so that there were barely any water coming down from the highest accessible waterfall! thank God though it has been raining the past few days =/ if not water restriction again =.="

Saturday Guys Ministry, needless to say it was fun, but aiya... the girls.. dunno la.. haha. shall not say anymore on that less i get scolded. they brought good food though hehe. Special thanks to Karen who woke up at 6-ish to bake bread for us haha.

oh yea, OCF is definitely going through a creative season. so many groups of people wrote so many songs, really should compile them into a CD.

hmm Sat night went to Delirious concert, which was so-so only. I mean as a band they're definitely good, but hmm.. no substance la in the sharing and all. i shall comment no more on that issue.

today, Uni started once more! i surprised myself by actually being able to pay more attn that b4 the holiday started haha! prayer works! lolz. anyway, although the 2 week holiday went by with minimal time for myself, and i mean minimal, i enjoyed it la. in 2 weeks time i've managed to forge friendship with people that i'd nvr expect to be close to haha. let's see how long this season shall last, exciting la.

ok i gotta promote this blog
http://patricksim.blogspot.com/

mr Patrick Sim aka Gorgeous's blog. currently got 7 songs there, hoping for more to come =)

trivia: there are no open drain in Australia, everything is underground, therefore, there is not a piece of land that's completely flat.

also, there are not electric wires hanging around on the surface, everything is underground. well, i guess it's to prevent further casualties of those stupid (seriously) birds. they've lost enough members for their lack of ability to move away when cars/dogs/humans/cats are near them.

i've manage to dug up a few more songs to include into my playlist which is now officially known as "emo songs", they are:

unbreak my heart - Toni Braxton
regresa a mi - il divo (i can still rmbr the lyrics ^^)
right here waiting - Richard Marx
zai shuo yi qi wo ai ni - Andy Lau
Heaven Knows - Rick Price
Xiang Ai Wu Meng (cant) - Cheung Chi Lam

and another 8 chinese songs from the series "xian1 jian4 qi2 xia2 zhuan4", which is a love story with a very, VERY sad ending. so go figure wat the songs are like -.-"

and now KC sending me 2 songs, Jasmine and Aitai, both japanese songs, if she recommend 1 then i think should b emo enough, so yea, there u go, it's getting worse n worse >.<

oh btw, Josephine's blog is getting so much attn due to 1 post haha, so many ppl sending the link to her blog =/ i was a bit taken aback when ppl who dun know her ask me to visit her blog hah!

adioz, Alvin and the Chipmunks rocks!

2nd post

2008-04-09T00:32:00.002+09:30

very rarely will i make a 2nd post in the same day but here goes..

i applied for a part time job in kfc, simply cause sandra applied. i kinda think i will consider working there if i get offered a position? hehe. 8 hours a week shouldn't be too big a problem.

Sandra called me from Sydney with her handphone just now for almost 14 minutes cause she said i sounded emo =/ i do feel better after hearing her and MZ's voice though hehe, long time din talk to them liaoz.

PQ came on9 jz to say hi and bye, lol which is very cute of her.

the college people are busy, with Disted and INTI having tests this 2 weeks, am gonna be lonelier than usual heh!

time to blog

2008-04-08T20:54:00.003+09:30

well, feeling a bit emo these few days, been listening non-stop to the following songs
1) truly madly deeply - savage garden
2) ji mo bian jie - zhang dong liang(?)
3) dang ni gu dan ni hui xiang qi shui - zhang dong liang
4) If tomorrow never comes - Ronan Keating
5) That's Why - Michael Learns to Rock
6) The Actor - Michael Learns to Rock
7) 25 Minutes - Michael Learns to Rock
8) Home - Michael Buble(?)
9) wo yi wei - zhang dong liang(?)
10)teman sejati - Juwita Suwito
11)I will remember you - Ryan Cabrera
well, of course i have more emo songs than that, but gradually the list became such as above =/

This is the last week of Uni d, then mid sem break, dunno why the temperature becomes hot again...

the other day when i was walking home, this cyclist was moving so fast he past by right in front of me at such a speed that he appeared to be a blur, and i couldn't even react cause by the time i hear the sound of him approaching he's ady there >.<

prayer meet today was good, hope we can continue to go out for lunch and catch up afterwards. sigh, but every time see them i would feel like going to gym, but boh huat, i got class in the morning....

ate ice kacang, expensive betul, but since everyone was somehow craving for it, we share aja la...ate at Penang hawker, a place that i haven't been to in around 9 months i think. the price went up so hiong =.=

the girls shared about what Joanne said during Girls' Ministry and we, the guys, think we should learn it =)
"If Andrew (her husband) makes enough money, I would buy all of u diamonds and jewels to show you how precious you are. but since he doesn't make enough, I decided to give all of u flowers to show u how precious u are."
for the skeptics, the girls did go awwwww~~~ sooo sweeeet~~~
and so, hehe we shall remember this trick.

quote of the day is still from Fan Ting. as Chloe was a bit high today, FT said:
"u know how when u pray for patience God will give u opportunities to develop and practice patience? well I prayed for it, and God sent Chloe"
XP they are a funny bunch la. FT nvr cease to entertain us heh!

oh ya, my emoness has definitely caused a drop in my appetite, it took me 3 meals to forcefully finish wat i usually eat in 2 meals, bah and i dunno y i m suddenly intolerant to the taste of mushroom T.T

weather update (2)

2008-04-03T18:12:00.003+10:30

apparently there was a hailstorm outside the city yesterday, probably first 1 in a long long time. it was windy with occasional rain today as well.

anyway, our electronics tutor nvr showed up today, no xplanation given, wasted my time nia >.< then during lunch i saw my thermo-fluids lecturerS eating lunch where i was eating. and guess wat, they were using CHOPSTICKS ONLY. and they were eating from a PLATE. i don't think even chinese does that... oh 1 is australian and the other erm.. the name is ANTONI BLESWICK or smtg lidat, russian? lol.

but yesterday i had a very very good sleep. 1st time i slept for 8 hours in a month maybe? tonight can rest again cause tomorrow got nothing due.. just that have to attempt my practical for the 2nd time.. praying really hard that i'll succeed this time >.< without the tutor somemore...

oh and apparently that HzBeh have a cousin in Adelaide... his biao3 mei4 =.= anyway today she was talking to my friend, and it's the first time i've seen them talked right, then suddenly she said to me: "u r the one who always plays ping pong with Hui Zhi right? Beh Hui Zhi, i'm his cousing." I was like, WHAT?! since when?! lol and more importantly, how could she RECOGNIZE me? since i have changed my hairstyle AND i'm growing a beard -.-" and she doesnt even know my name.. hmm.. worrisome hah!

weather update

2008-04-02T17:17:00.003+10:30

today i experienced adelaide's heaviest rain since i've been here. the rain was so loud it even woke me up from my sleep >.< and by the time i walked to uni, the ground was still wet! it has never happened before hah!

then i experienced the strongest wind in my life! the wind was even stronger than when it was WINTER last year! gosh it blew me 1 and a half step backwards >.< and it kept changing direction! urgh! swt worst thing about adelaide is 1 minute u're encountering a strong wind, after 5 seconds it was so freaking HOT! cause the wind jz blew away all the clouds and water vapour ahaha.....

i was telling my friend about how some athletes prefer to drag a parachute behind them as opposed to car tires. i was thinking about doing that, but no more. i'd probably be dragged a few meters backwards... and now the thing is, even if it rains, i kenot use an umbrella! how frustrating ...

EDIT: by the way ,the other day my bitcomet download speed hit an all time high of 790kb/s =P erm, to help those who don't c how that's high.. let's just say i can finish downloading a standard mp3 song in <5 seconds =) oh yea by the way the speed was constant. i can finish a movie within 15 minutes, but since i had about 5 of them running they were all done within an hour =D

The parable of the prodigal son(as in the parable from the Bible) in the Key of F

#
Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his fond father to fork over the family finances. He flew far to foreign fields and frittered his fortune, feasting fabulously with faithless friends.

Fleeced by his fellows in folly, and finally facing famine, he found himself a feed-flinger in a filthy farmyard. Feeling frail and fairly famished he fain would have filled his frame with the foraged foods of the fodder fragments left by the filthy farmyard creatures.

‘Fooey’, he figured, ‘My father’s flunkies fare far fancier.’ The frazzled fugitive fumed feverishly, frankly facing the facts. Frustrated by failure and filled with foreboding, he forthwith fled the foreign farmyard, back to his family. From faraway, the father focused on the fretful familiar form on the horizon and flew to him and fondly flung his forearms around the fatigued fugitive.
Falling at his father’s feet, he floundered forlornly. ‘Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited family favour.’ But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching frantically flagged a field hand. ‘Fetch forth the finest fatling and fix a feast.’

Faithfully, the father’s first-born was in a fertile field fixing fences while father and fugitive were feeling festive. The foreman felt fantastic as he flashed the fortunate news of a familiar family face that had forsaken fatal foolishness. But this fault-finding first born frowned on the favor shown the fugitive and such fickle forgiveness from father. His fury flashed. He’d never faultered, he’d never fled the family farm. He was forever faithful. But fussing was futile. The far-sighted father confirmed, such filial fidelity is fine, and the first born would be furnished with the remaining family fortune, but what forbids fervent festivity?

The fugitive is found! “Unfurl the flags, with fanfares flaring! Let fun and frolic freely flow!” “Former failure is forgotten, folly is forsaken! And forgiveness forms the foundation for future fortitude.”

anyway, that's not the original one, lazy to find the original one hehe.

last week was pretty normal, except for the fact that me n my lab partner both woke up late for our 2 hour lecture, and the lecturer decided to hav us go to the lab for that 2 hours =.="

friday the practical session, spent 2 hours and couldn't move past step 2, now have to freaking redo it >.<

OCF was good, got to know the names of some new people, erm yat tuang gave everyone in the group easter eggs as she wouldn't be able to go to E-camp due to exam, so cute! Sher Ri gave me a gigantic easter egg and wrote a short message on a card, haha i now stick the card to my laptop lol, idea taken from Mel.

let me think wat else happened.. erm.. erm.. cannot think @@ oh tomorrow is the 1st time i'm bring pre-cooked lunch to uni, see how it goes haha, gonna save a lot like this.

think that's all, this is already a long post.

3 words to describe my last week, as asked by Mey from Connect Group: impatience, stress, COLD!!

i like Chloe's "I want holiday" and James "HA HA HA" =)

EDIT: remembered smtg, daylight saving ends next weekend. today they show it in church, i mean the notice, and apparently SOME ppl thought that it was today XP lol Deb called someone up and asked "Ei, what time is it now ah?" XD (cause have to get to church on time u c.."

girl and guitar

2008-03-22T22:16:00.003+10:30

let's start by yesterday after OCF. it was the first time that I talked to one particular girl. haha i'm jz blogging about this 1st paragraph for the sake of personal memory so can skip this part if u're well.. impatient? haha anyway, we've been in the same group for almost a year n it's the 1st time we ever talked to each other. well, directly that is. n it was good! now I have 1 more person to talk 2 in Adelaide! lolz. anyway i have this red bump on top of my head and 2 other person thought that it is a pimple. but she actually asked(once we started talking)me how did i injure myself, or smtg lidat. truth is I bumped my forehead into the VERY sharp edge of a table like thing. and of course it hurt a LOT! so yea haha i jz felt very happy that someone actually well.. asked.

bah enough of that. this morning took the bus out to Eugene's place to learn guitar for the 1st time. i was quite annoyed at the fact that i cannot play any instruments for 1 month + already so i decided i'm gonna ask him to teach me guitar haha. hmm really thank him that he agreed to it, even lent me his guitar. and he is actually quite good with it =/

haha anyway, i'll nvr forget some of the basics he taught me man. I'm supposed to get married to guitars someday, so that when i see one and pick it up i'd know how to handle it and not feel awkward. and i'm supposed to strum the guitar like i'm brushing a girl's hair, heh. ah.. but anyway my fingers hurt a lot la, haven't touched guitar much and definitely nvr played 1 for so long b4 >.< during evening i wanted to play but really could not d as my fingers jz refuse to press down anymore due to the pain.... ahh nvm 2molo only play, hopefully my fingers would b ok by then hehe.

oh and I FINALLY watched enchanted. has been keeping it in my laptop for quite some time d hehe. it was niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. albeit very fairy tale-ish, hah. love the songs though..and the dance. goodness my first time seeing ppl doing cartwheel on the same spot, among many other tricks.

hmm.. that's all 4 now, can't think of wat else to update d.

I Am Legend

2008-03-21T11:47:00.001+10:30

http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/must-watch-i-am-legends-original-ending-this-is-amazing/

I was made to understand that there are other alternatives around, but this is the original 1 that was cut, heh, i hope.

Recipes post 1

2008-03-20T21:12:00.008+10:30

just in case this is your 1st stop at my blog for today, I actually posted another post a little bit earlier so, feel free to scroll down and read =)

anyway, i decided to post about what I cook in Adelaide and how to cook them for a number of reasons.

1. for future reference. i actually struggled for a while when i 1st came back to remember wat i survived on last year..
2. so that ppl who read my blog presently and in the future can refer to my recipes and cook for themselves either to survive or jz for fun. (mother's day is a good alternative)

before i continue, let me urge u to BUY GOOD COOKING UTENSILS. even if it will cost u more it's very much worth it, as it'll make ur cooking life more enjoyable (by taking away the time needed for cleaning up). just make sure u know the correct way of taking care of them >.<

tada~~ this is stir fried sliced beef with garlic shoot and mushroom. hehe.
ingredient : sliced beef, garlic shoot, mushroom, soya sauce, salt, sugar, pepper(or any other seasoning), cooking oil(preferably vegetable)
optional ingredient: dried shrimp, eggs, sesame oil, oyster sauce, vinegar, caramel.
steps:
- marinate the beef in salt + pepper + soya sauce for however long u want.
- put in a suitable amount of oil and a little bit of sugar, fry till it's almost done.
- pour in the mushrooms that is previously soaked in water for ~ 5min, garlic shoots that has been washed (WARNING: do NOT soak this in water) and continue frying.
- serve =D

of course u can b creative and change around with the sauce by pouring them in after putting the mushroom etc in and can put in eggs and/or dried shrimp(soak this) after the mushroom step. as long as you're happy can d lol. my friend, Moses who sorta thought me the basics say he usually just put things in according to his mood. vinegar for more sour taste etc etc.

i realize the picture is not very clear, my bad for putting auto mode hehe. oh btw u can still cook this thing even if u leave out some ingredients that i consider to be core. such as the meat. and the meat can of course be substituted around but i hav not try yet so dunno which 1 nicer...

ahem, this picture was taken after my first attempt, which is 2nite, hehe. not bad eh, for my first try. of course i cooked too much =.= but erm... since i ate only bread for lunch... hahax.
ingredients : bean curd(ie tofu/tau fu), minced pork(which cost AUD$6 per kg only!!), dried shrimp, mushroom, spicy bean curd(ma2 bo1 tofu) paste or any other paste.
optional ingredients: unknown, i can't think of any though =S
steps:
- put in the pork and suitable amount of oil.
- fry till it's almost done, dump the mushroom and shrimp in
- after a while, put in the paste and bean curd and just wait till it thickens!
- serve XD
NOTE: different paste might require u to put in different amount at different time. READ the instruction.
haha much clearer picture ya ^^

the following recipe is the 1st thing that i cooked in adelaide n is the simplest yet. all u need is a rice cooker. put the rice and chicken(boneless please) into the rice cooker and just hit the button, u'll get a very good tasting chicken rice, trust me. this can be used to cook porridge too, just add a bit more water(~twice the amount) and the salt + watever sauce u want.

next is the 1st thing that someone teach me. fry chicken/pork/sausage, put eggs, put cheese and serve when it melts. By this point I assume u guys know the importance of basic seasonings like salt, soya sauce etc.

black sauce meat. all u need to do is boil the meat and throw in watever sauce u have that's black in colour. seriously. i actually thought this out myself =/

ok then another simple thing to do is to put eggs + sliced cheese into the microwave, which is wat has become commonly known as microwave oven. jz.. make sure u open the thing to let the air out once every 1 minute to save u the trouble of cleaning up.

the 1st thing that i learned how to cook = fried egg. just dump the eggs in and oil + salt + pepper and fry. it'll become edible. ei don't be surprised, there are people who don't even know how uncooked rice looks like.

oh ya, just a note. dried shrimp is a flavour enhancer. it goes with almost anything. mushroom makes watever u cook sweeter. oh hmm..if u wan to cook soup, just put the meat(must have bones) in, turn on slow fire, leave the lid open a bit, and just boil. extremely good during exam period as it's healthy, it doesn't take much effort/time to prepare. oh yea, jz leave it there for 2-3 hours then u can drink it muahaha. but erm, make sure u have enough water yea...

any other recipe that i know of next requires the need of flavouring in packets. i find it stupid to try to repeat them as the instructions are at the back of the packages, so i won't do that, just go look at the flavourings and read the instructions. 1 thing to note is that if ur taste buds are not that sensitive or if u're not that picky, u can skip the onion/garlic etc. actually u can skip a lot of stuff if u dun mind the taste hehe.

oh i, of course skipped the salads and sandwiches due to the uncountable variations. i skipped pastas too as i haven't cook them in a long time and it's actually hard if u wan to cook a perfect plate of pasta.

of course i still have other recipes in my mind right now but it's just that i haven't had the chance to try them out yet, hence no picture, hence kenot give any insight. oh for those that i did mention even though i don't have the pictures..well.. i do not think that i'll b cooking them anymore? or anytime soon... too many new ideas to try out hehe. enjoy!!

Autumn and Moral

2008-03-20T18:46:00.004+10:30

btw, how come people use Summer as a name but not Winter, Spring or Autumn?

heh, Autumn is here i would say, as for the past 2 days there were MAX heat from the sun and MAX chillness from the strong winds. n yea, that's' autumn in australia. today it actually drizzled! so yea, autumn is definitely here =P but actually, if autumn is this cold this year, i hate to go through winter T.T

moral.. i thought about blogging about this after my friend said she accompany another friend to study moral until late at night. so i was thinking, wat's the point of studying moral again? does it really help someone to be more "moral-ized"? if so, wouldn't every educated person in society have firm moral principles?

take moral values like responsibility for example. we as humans ought to know that we should possess these so called moral values from observation (of the ppl around us, environment, etc etc). all the co-curriculum does is adding/narrowing down the definition of these values. but wat for? i don't recall being asked to practice these values, only to memorize them. hence, i really think it's redundant. come on, when u were studying moral, have u ever picked up the notes/text and say "oh! i didn't know i'm suppose to practice XXX".

quite a number of people will get bad results for moral every year for SPM alone. why? I believe the main reason is cause the exam board does not have something "absolute" to base the values on. for example, a student might see A value in doing that action but the exam board/examiner(s)/marker(s) may not, and hence the student get 0 mark for that question.

ok touching a little bit on college lvl. philosophies from past to present. truth be told, i have absolutely no recollection of any of them. am i then, absolutely "moral-ess"? sigh...

ok this is when Hean will usually propose some sort of solution. sadly, i m not him and i m not going to think of any solution as i don't think i can come up with any. so i'm gonna say wat i used to write in primary school. "until a better system is being formed, we'll have to (sadly) stick with the current system regarding the moral education for school children". oh yea i just remembered smtg that shouldn't be left out. i do not remember how many times i have to "reboot" my mind and take in new "sets" of moral values over my primary and high school and college years. and i recall some core definitions were changed. eg. B value used to apply to this situation but now it cannot be and can only be applied to another situation. and wat's with all the sub-values?

errr, fine, i lost my train of thoughts. getting old d. anyway, some time later i'm gonna start blogging about recipes for what i eat in adelaide yada yada. and i might jz start to draw again, as extremely boring lectures kinda rekindled my interest and love for drawing, heh.

ops paiseh, suddenly came across smtg intriguing.

northern lights

2008-03-15T15:54:00.015+10:30

went to the northern lights event. here's an introduction quoted from the website:

#
Celebrating one of the most beautiful cultural boulevards in the world for the duration of the Festival, the city’s historic architectural icons will be painted with light and coloured with life.

The State Library of South Australia, The South Australian Museum, The Art Gallery of South Australia on North Terrace (which is the north-est street of the city), are the sandstone cornerstones of our culture, illuminating and enlightening each generation. For two weeks, they themselves will take the spotlight every night of the Festival from dusk till 2am, the artists from the internationally acclaimed The Electric Canvas will transform their facades.

Through a constantly changing array of perfect, jaw-dropping architectual projection, reflecting the heritage and function of these beautiful buildings, Colonel Light’s 19thcentury vision will become a 21st-century vision in light.
#

oh i also snapped some pictures along the way. heh when i was there i told myself, things like this should b kept in the heart. in the end couldnt resist and took the pictures anyway XD notice how they design the patterns to conform to the buildings' structures.
pictures speaks louder than words so,

wat i think is a splendid looking fountain.

I hav no idea wat building this is, so this'll be called B1

B1 with a different "attire"

so Malay. Nice right? I think this is the best picture i took on that night. oh and as u can c, the buildings are illuminated from the sides as well. oh and this is B2

So Chinese...dunno wat building either.

My favourite design! but i am not happy with the picture! didn't manage to get a satisfactory 1 in time though =( well, just have to make do...B2 also

Quite blur but i didn't realize in at that time so..B2?

My Uni's graduation hall... looks old right? haha

the other ancient hall of my uni...it was actually quite majestic but it was too hard to take a picture of it as the street lights were a nuisance. that and the fact that the building is so freaking huge. i only took in the middle section of the building btw.

the grad hall "shimmering splendid". everyone uttered a "wow". as u can see quite a lot of ppl were jz lazing around in the lawns in front of the building.

definitely one of my favourites, on par with the Malay-like one. cause it makes my Grad hall look like a haunted mansion =) purposely took in the trees the way they are to enhance the effect hehe.

this should be B2 as well.

the art gallery. i took only 1 picture of this place. because of the 6 large beams in front and the banners, it was really hard for them to come up with designs i guess. i think the designs were quite repetitive. i mean, wat can u decorate on 6 beams right!?

I apologize for the low quality of some of the pictures, it was in a rush as i reached there at 10.30pm and i din wanna go home too late as it's a half hour walk from my place. anyway, i was shocked at the amount of people there @@ nvr b4 hav i seen so many static humans gathering in 1 place in adelaide =/ and there were many cameras, n tripods, too! AND there were critics..oh and they change the pattern every few minutes or so, but i did not stay for everything as I suppose it'll take more than an hour to wait for everything. there were actually ppl who sat in front of a building n wait for it to change through everything once before moving onto another building hehe.i think there were 6 buildings in total.

hmm.. as i was walking n enjoying the display, a thought crossed my mind: "how nice would it be if i hav a girlfriend now." bah, i jz think sceneries like this would be even better if enjoyed with someone special. and it doesn't help the fact that those young/old couples walk/sit together along the way haha. btw, i nvr knew the walkway could accommodate so many ppl =S hmm..as for if i had anybody particular in mind.. that's...another story XP but i did think of a few ppl that i wish is with me, as i think it'll be nice to be able to see things like this with a bunch of friends heh.

oh right i should include this. the displays were projected from projectors inside containers. as in those huge gigantic ones that ppl use to ship stuff, so i can't really tell how they work..n it took me quite a while to figure out wat those containers were doing out on the walkway >.<

crap, too long d, should end the post. oh right, my electronics tutorial is conducted inside the COUNSIL MEETING CHAMBER. as in those round table with cushioned "throne" that are mobile! the design of the room is pretty nice too...

ok -end of post-

PS: I m happy n glad that in the end i went even though i was super tired. i told myself, i need to appreciate things around me more. when i think about it, this sort of event is a once in a lifetime 1, and it's happening so near to me, how can i not treasure it? i know i tend to like to go to other places to see interesting sights, but i need to realize that to others coming to adelaide is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

poetry

2008-03-12T23:00:00.004+10:30

i was randomly blog surfing when i came across Grace's blog. never knew she is a poet lover ^^ here are 2 taken from her blog.

*open quote*
Dear Time,

I know that you'll beat any olympic runner hands down, and no one can win you in a race...

But could you please try to slow down a little, and not fly by so quickly? It's hard keeping up with you, and there's still so much I need to do.

If you could help, it would be much appreciated, thanks.

Yours truly,
Grace

Today, upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair. I envied her, she seemed so happy, and wished I were so fair; When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one foot and wore a crutch. But as she passed, a smile.
*
O God, forgive me when I whine. I have two feet, the world is mine.
*
I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see, " he said, "I'm blind."
*
O God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
*
Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play. He did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word. And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
*
Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 ears, the world is mine. With feet to take me where I'd go. With eyes to see the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I'd know.
*
Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

drained

2008-03-11T18:01:00.004+10:30

i hav no recollection of ever being this mentally drained in my life. i can barely keep my eyes open >.< i really wish that i'm studying in penang, that way i can ask my dad/bro about things that i dun understand in this field. today we had to disassemble an engine and answer some questions and frankly i dun get more than half of the part. i dun even know wat they are called!

then there's warman competition which will take up most of my time d. we have to design some vehicle for supply delivery in rough terrains and we hav to build a model n run it on a track n things like that.

oh yea, i think i ma gonna fall sick soon if the temperature dun start to go back to the way it used to be. although it's stated that the highest temp is like 37 or smtg, i can tell u it's definitely not 37 after the ground is being heated up for 8 hours. during evening it's easily over 4o, which is another reason y my eyes r really really tired. can u imagine that i still can't look to the front even with a pair of sunglasses on!? AND a freaking cap. i do feel like quitting everything n go home @@

exfoliating

2008-03-04T19:00:00.002+10:30

i m exfoliating my skin! the parts that kena sunburned that is.. n btw my scalp also kena due to shortage of hair..makes it extremely itchy!!

lectures are fine so far. had 2 hours per day =/ since all the prac + tutes haven start yet. they renovated the lecture theaters, now the seats are more spacious =)

missing ppl from penang -.-"

2molo have 2 hours of lecture again, gonna play table tennis in the afternoon to clench my craving.

4got a lot of stuff from 1st year d, got lotz of revision to do, especially maths that i din properly learn last time around.

i think my new housemate is annoying, but will bear with him. he thinks that i hav the answer to every question that he has >.<

bought a bookshelf but dun hav a screwdriver so kenot set up yet, shall try to get some soon since i'll probably need them in the future anyway, their lifespan is long anyway.

need to find a fan for air circulation, waiting for cash converter...

2008-03-02T21:55:00.002+10:30

yesterday went to the beach, super fun to be able to run there again =) super tired as well.
hav sunburns on my ears n forehead and back of my neck, but better than aaron whose whole face got sunburn cause he din apply any sunblock there, as his face skin is more sensitive than the rest of his body. other ppl jz get burns here n there, especially those who wore singlets.
apparently sunburns are 1st degree burns where all the epidermis cell dies. now i understand the difference that sunblock makes.

a bit nervous about tomorrow, 1st day of uni and i'm very underprepared as i don't really know what to prepare @@ tomorrow have only a 2 hour lecture, still thinking whether i should play table tennis after that or stop table tennis for as long as i'm in adelaide.

is a bit worried about my studies, definitely cannot be as lazy as last year. still cannot adjust to the 6 month 1 finals system, and still lacking motivation to study. how can i be like PQ? bah..

uni life is very vague, if Chee Hong din call me i'd probably din realize i have to enrol into lab sessions which btw only last for 1 session each, which is abit weird cause i already have praticals. hence, none of us really know what they are about >.<

gonna borrow textbook from Bryan again this year, thank God for him.

miss my friends from penang la, especially those that I see at least once a week. after 1 year +, my heart is still with my penang friends.

2molo, definitely a brand new start. after all, every day is a made new =)

Gillian's speech

2008-02-29T23:24:00.002+10:30

"here, whenever I talk to those Anglo-Saxon white people, they always greet me with 'G'day mate!'. N I think 1stly, my name is not 'mate'. 2ndly, I remember my mum telling me that it's rude to ask people to 'Go n' die'. Then, when you are leaving, they'll say 'ok, c ya later mate'. N i was like, 'wat time later'. " - Gillian Foo

haha 1st time i hear her giving such a light hearted talk =) changed so much after getting married last Dec.

went to IKEA, instead of finding a bookshelf, i got a frying pan instead haha.

OCF welcome night, a lot of ppl la, some short catch ups with some ppl. hope that will be able to catch up more during beach day 2molo.

encounter with elaphant glue

2008-02-20T21:07:00.002+10:30

today i decided it's finally high time to start collecting my things that I have to pack to Adelaide. 1 of them of course is a hp chain given by a friend. however it's kinda falling apart so i bought an elephant glue a few weeks back in order to glue it back to place. so 1st drop, no problem, perfect. then i pandai pandai go n try to fix 1 of the tiny flowers....TOOT! spilled all over the place...the silly me still tried to fix the flower b4 giving up n treat my hand to cool running water... T.T the stupid glue wouldn't come off! and i was so afraid that it will put a hole in my finger, as my thumb was mostly numb by this point, and heck really like spiderman everything that i touch will stick to my finger!!!!

anyhow after the glue sort of fried up i can see white patches all over my fingers. i actually went on9 to search "removing elephant glue from fingers". waaa quite a lot of ppl hav had the same experience as me! some even worse =P

well, right now i'm jz going to wait for time to pass by n slowly peel off the remaining glue.. >.<

one BIG mall in Chinatown where the stuff are super expensive. i think it is called Chinatown Point or something?

this is near Fort Canning. notice the arrows on the ground? lol prompting the cars to knock into each other ^^ (actually it means the 2 lanes are converging into 1)

outside Art gallery.. quite detailed huh! look at the muscles @@

the function room inside Art Gallery. Grand huh.

notice this pattern on the roof of the photography section. nice?

heh, just something that i think is really nice...took some time to get the right lighting setting =)

random shot, i think it's interesting at least...

Greek exhibition..they're made of PURE gold hence they can't be worn just like that...

night view from the 68th and a half floor! my one n only perfect night view =(

PQ's uni =) i like the logo

the optical illusion that i'm most impressed with..the pain of calculating everything...

today went to KC's house in Farlim to fetch her to KDU as she and her friends wanted to attend physics lecture there. hmm they've been attending lectures all over the place heh.

anyway had some trouble finding her house and ended up being late, then after turning back to get a bday card that she 4got to bring the 1st time we went to fetch her friend Rui Fang who woke up... LATE! aha n it's so hard to get to her house T.T

anyway as i have no knowledge at all of the roads there, i had to rely completely on their guidance as I drive...hmm not as easy as both of them hav difficulty with differentiating left and right...

oh but we reached KDU safe and sound and got to met up with cheryl for a short while as well. also bumped into Karen from HSC. and i walked around the place while they go to the 2nd half of the lecture (they were 1 hour late by then).

when they came out, i was shocked to find out that the lecturer was my tuition teacher during high school.. luckily i didn't follow them in! i 4got everything about physics d even though i'm studying engineering...

went to starbucks near gurney hotel to hang out for a while before sending Rui Fang off to her piano lesson (which was postponed from 9am as she woke up late) then me n KC went down to gurney to watch a movie. wanted to watch Sweeny Toode but it's not being showed today so we watched Kung Fu Dunk instead...it was actually quite nice =)

after that, i just fetched her back and i came home myself! yay! although it sounded easy, i ended up taking LOTZ of detour and making TONS of "squares" as we don't really know the way @@ sigh... oh and and when we left Gurney, we actually tried thinking different alternative as to how to avoid going past PCGHS to avoid the traffic jam...but since i drove kinda fast + her slow direction, we ended up on that road regardless...only to find out that there's not a single car? toot....today holiday for phor tay and pcghs -.-" even though we know this, we totally 4got about it, haihz.

ei but really thank God la. 2day nearly got into so many accidents! i actually tried putting "N" gear while going downhill but after that i actually pushed it to "R" gear as when u drive manual u push up for 1st gear -.-" that was scary as i was figuring out how to fix it while controlling the steering with one hand... nearly went off the road @@ >.<

ahhh but i'm safe n sound regardless, heh.

PS: who's Ru Hong? I keep thinking that Rui Fang's name is Ru Hong @@

EDIT: oh i suddenly remember....Rui Fang's mum thought that I was KC's dad...hope that she got clarify with her mum....

Valentine's Day

2008-02-15T02:20:00.002+10:30

1st thing i did? went back to CLHS with Beh and Hean XD Hean keeps telling everybody that we see that we shaved cause qing2 chang3 shi1 yi4 (meaning we are both doing badly in terms of relationships). haha most of the teachers who taught me and that I can remember are either in class or transferred already @@ ah.. but they made a remark that took me aback.. they say last time we wouldn't even let them touch our hair and now we're willing to shave them off ourselves XD haha which is true..last time try so hard to evade being catch by the prefects...

then i got to eat the canteen food! haha as breakfast =D the place didn't really change much..in fact clhs looks more rundown... heh.

after clhs went to fetch KC from farlim then went to inti.. ah..wee hean continued with his theory of y we shaved =) ceh we choose valentine's to go find BOTH our teachers from high sch and college ler... had lunch with PY n HH and TY =) haha apparently we annoyed PY (n HH?) a bit when they asked for direction to the pan mee stall =D

then... we went to play badminton =) 5 ppl... wa Hean is actually very good at it haha and he told me something that i should've applied to every sport which is to move back to the middle immediately as I always have a few seconds lag before moving =P i nvr took the effort to change that habit as there's no need to move back to the middle, as i can tell my friend's habit d...ah...somemore easier to cover the whole table.

oh but badminton was fun!!!!! haha n TY is so good too T.T a bit scared to play with her gang in Adelaide d... actually, if it had been a match, i would've lost, heh.

then we went to eat dinner in Bali Bali, or smtg lidat. ahh the good was quite good actually... and wee hean ended up eating his portion, TY's remaining food, and Beh's remaining food (as it was too spicy for him)

oh yea actually we went back to CLHS to get SPM and 1119 cert 1 =) so to anyone who hasn't got them yet er...better hurry! haha...crap we are graduates of 2005...THREE years d =.="

long long day/ and they're off!

2008-02-12T23:47:00.000+10:30

started the day at..i hav no idea when. couldn't really sleep yesterday and i think i ended up with only 4 hours + of actual sleep in total.

reach inti at 8.30am to play table tennis with Beh. as expected my mind cannot really concentrate and I wasnt about to judge the ball properly..lost like crap.

then i went back home to bathe and then immediately rushed back to inti to bring PY n HH out for lunch. ah.. went to the golden smtg place with the nice chicken rice the long way as i STILL can't find the short way from inti... then after that went to fill in petrol for the 1st time =) ceh like idiot aja totally din know wat to do XD then just hung out in CC until 2pm.

oh but here and there i kept seeing Audrey =) some pleasant surprise hehe. tomorrow gonna go find her. then after that i rushed back home to get money + call TY b4 going to her house to fetch her out. ah..the bro is still as playful n cheeky as always

brought her 1st to Thye Huat to get adapter and xtension board. then went to QB. shoped lotz of stuff, her especially, i just got what i needed... which is way less from what she needs ^^ manage to sort out her things-to-bring a little as well.

then had to fetch her home quite early cause she was hungry, as she always eat dinner at 6pm @@ but ah...reached home and took a 15 minutes nap then had to eat dinner and go to the airport to send Sandra and Mei Zhi off.

waa i actually reached around the same time as her...ahh...i'm the only non-family member sending them off until the last 1 minute where Hui Ting ran in...ceh but it was still ok since i know most of their family member/ got to know them just now..they're friendly! ei but sandra's check in luggage was 37.XX KG and the hand carry was about 12.XX KG...meizhi's luggage was 29kg... man, i wonder how are they going to bring those from here to newcastle and up the stairs to their place.. *evil grin* oh ahha Ming Hui... so not forgetting this name anymore >.<

Pleasant Surprise

2008-02-02T02:20:00.000+10:30

today was one of the best day of my life.

started off with an enormous desire to go back to INTI. since i have been going back there for like everyday, i don't understand why the urge? but what the heck i went anyway...

oh well i should say today i met a LOT of people that have special places in my heart =)

in college i mete Audrey, Melody, PY n HH. then i got to know Natasha and Michelle

then after that, like originally planned, i went to QB to meet sandra jz to pass her smtg n get smtg from her. then i spent an hour + reading in borders. when i was about to leave, i was reminded that Pei I'ng is working in QB! so i went to find her n talked for like an hour +. was real enjoyable, missed her quite a lot and nvr had the opportunity to catch up since i got back...ah...she's got a bf now though, heh.

then when i was FINALLY about to leave, i heard someone shouting my name, turning back, i saw Mei Zhi, Kai Xin and Sandra, with her newly treated hair that cost RM100 =.= silly girl always molest her hair n ask others to molest her hair after that. bah but then MZ told me that JIA SHUEN and Naomi are in QB too! i was like, WHAT?! heh

anyway long story short, met up with them...like meet up once a year lidat lol, but it was real nice la, was so hoping to meet jia shuen especially, heh. dream come through d lo..now left Vicky that side...and KC nia...then i can go back to AUST d =)

Singapore Trip

2008-01-27T17:00:00.001+10:30

Was in Singapore from 24th-26th JAN. was with PQ during the activities unless stated otherwise

1st day
Golden Mile (bus station) - arrived at ~7.16am
Fragrance Hostel - dropped luggage
Kopitiam - breakfast ( pork pau)
SMU (PQ's Microeconomics lecture) - very good lecturer in terms of the things he teaches, but not that good at keeping student's attention....some were playing games, chatting, SHOPPING =.=" NB: most students bring their laptop into class
Raffles Square (Thai Express) - lunch with Sarah, walked around a bit in SMU n Raffles b4 that.
Science Centre - cool place, only spent 2 hours but could've easily spent the whole day...
Fragrance Hostel - PQ meeting, I went back to hostel to check in and wash up
Citylink (TCC) - dinner, the drink(peach+vanilla) was nice, food not that nice, too bad PQ 4got to bring membership card = X ...
Esplanade - a very nice place, din like it as much as she apparently does since i don't share her memory of that place

2nd day
While PQ's having her lecture, i went to:
National Muzeum - history, lifestyles(photography, film, food, fashion) and Greek galleries/exhibition. particularly liked the Greek 1, such details.
Fort Canning - super big place, was a very tiring walk UPHILL during mid day =.=" wat a mixture of jungle and concretes...
Kopitiam - had to eat lunch alone T.T

then,
SMU(Just-A-Position) - that's a dance performance =) contempory, latin, ballet. that's the 3 that I know of la =) they were quite good, fit too, but i definitely prefer some over the others =) got to know Jia Qi and Jonathan too. ahh... the 2nd and 3rd person to know that i sneaked into SMU..
AIDS exhibition while she studies - get to walk through the life of 1 of 3 HIV infected people
Trinity Christian Church (Youth/Young Adult service) - met Cui Yu, Chun Lei. Oon Peng and friends were there too.

3rd day
While PQ's studying:
Chinatown - BORING! stall markets all sell CNY decoration/ the sweet... but it's really a TOWN as oppose to some street like in most countries. this 1 has got high end malls and stuff 1...
Art Gallery - really cool, liked the Asian Paintings =) had to rush though...

then,
Kopitiam(take away food from her place) - ahh...to b nice we ate desert there...
Bugis Market + Bugis Junction - cheap and expensive opposite each other =) finally got to take picture with her, heh funny that she should suddenly mention that we haven't taken any pic together since 7th Feb...I know real well haha. wonder if she dressed up purposely @@ she bought shirt for PY...1st year to give her present early XP oh should mention we saw the National Library on the way...so...big @@
Trinity Christian Church + hawker stall - reached church too late as PQ had another meeting. went for dinner until wayyyyyyyyy overtime =.="
Golden Mile - reached at 7.55pm, bus leaves at 8pm... but i was the 2nd person to arrive @@ and in total only 6 people boarded....and then ppl started boarding of course somewhere in M'sia...

RIGHT! i got to sit on a double decker bus! how nice of her to purposely take the double decker cause I've nvr sat in 1 b4 even though it means that it will be more expensive cause had to transit to church...

THNX for everything~!

Life in Penang

2007-12-28T01:27:00.000+10:30

have been in PG since last Friday night, enjoying every moment of it.

families and family friends aside,
i managed to meet up with LOTZ of people who were part of my life since high school.

I am especially happy with the fact that i was able to meet up with friend(s) who are not only a part of, but have had significant impact on my life, and i'm so looking forward for God to provide the opportunities to meet up with even more people, both those i hope to see as well as those that i've forgotten.

currently, am sticking to Penang Christian Centre, even though i wouldn't have any friends after this week who attends there but..God will definitely make a way so...

oh i got to exercise here too, which is definitely a good thing. but then my body is still getting use to every Penang so i get tired really easily. on a side note, Penang went through some MAJOR inflation, so much so that the PG food is no longer worth eating IMHO.

hmm.. i finally understand howcome Paul tells us in Phillipians that his coworkers preached the Gospel even more fervently while they r being persecuted. it came out during my last BS in OCF. and i guess when u r in those situation, u kindly treasure God more n take Him less for granted. for example, u'll praise Him whenever u get the opportunity and reading the Bible suddenly becomes a luxury and not a task.

SAT, going to miss SUBA's (my hsc eng lecturer) house for lunch/ hangout session. so far got five people. am i looking fwd to it? i guess =)

next week will mark the last week i have with certain friend(s) before we part ways again. i do pray that our future will interwind again =) until then...haha take care la.

oven + last tough paper + parade

2007-11-10T13:03:00.000+10:30

waaaaa~ so hot nowadays!!! gilerrrr yesterday...is the hottest i've ever felt, seriously.maybe it was as hot during feb, but i just got through winter so yea. craziness it was 34 degrees....34 degrees celcius with NO WIND and NO CLOUDS. and worse still, no humidity. i'm glad today at least it isnt as scorching hot as yesterday.....

finished PHYSICS like, 30 minutes ago. i think this is gonna be the 1st paper i fail in years. and first time failing a science subject. and failing badly on top of that. i mean seriously, i didn't expect it to be this tough, mainly cause the questions that came out today, was NOTHING similiar to those in the previous 3 years...sooooo annoying...dahlah itu physic combine so many subject(algebra, calculus, statics, dynamics, physics etc) there are infinitely many ways of asking the questions, why can't he just stick to asking them around the same way as he did for the past 3 years?! hmm... maybe i should say they...cause i have 3 physics lecturer taking different part. anyway i fail mainly cause hmmm i was too cocky lah, ish, think i won't do badly for a subject like that, especially since i've learned 50% of it before...

there was a christmas parade or smtg. early early in the morning (8+), was walking to exam hall. waaa every family with kids are walking the opposite direction...i felt so weird...and i wanna c what it's like...but got exam...sigh...and they block the main road so i din dare to wait for bus...but yea....so unfair...have to walk underneath the ruthless sun >.< oh yea 1st time i've seen so many ppl walking on the short cut jogging trail also...then saw ppl playing cricket....

bah...don't really know what to post, saja come here to lepak aja, now wanna go makan.

28th OCT 2007

2007-10-28T22:55:00.000+10:30

yea yea i said i won't post if nothing interesting happened ... well things happened la k.

sometime last week, i think last sunday, i walked out of the house and a wave of heat greeted me. it was a record high of 35 degrees celcius. the next day, it dropped to around 10 i should say due to mild rain. as a result, my sickness never got well. but then after a few days of resting/healing/sick again i am now FINALLY getting better, after buying a bottle of vitamin C and some sweet thingy for my throat that is hurt from all the coughing. it's called strephen. i got sudafed also for my nose that was stuck. thnx to Mel who bought both of them for me.

friday b4 OCF, then me n mel decided to go check out AMART, Australia's cheapest sport's retailer XP then she bought a basketball cause too long didn't play d. so, during OCF then we tried to find out who knows where the basketball courts are lo, then we found out got 2 places.

so on saturday, we went back to AMART to get a pump (how silly right, nvr thought of it earlier) and then lunch then digesting food then to find the courts. the 1st 1 we found was occupied (all 4 halves) so we went down south where there's 1 half-court with extremely huge ring. anyway some guys were playing so out of desperation we played at the badminton court for a while till the guys go home surprisingly early at 5 smtg. so we played till 6, when it started drizzling.

anyway...long story short, it was the 1st time i even touch a basketball in MONTHS! so yea...was quite happy la....n that night, there was a thunderstorm! the 1st 1 that i experience here in adelaide...so yea must blog about it XP

oh n church today was awesome. not going to go into too much detail but for the evening service, pastor asked every international student/ex-student to go up stage. i was like, wow, didn't know got so many people in church who wasnt borned here...(cause i go to a church with more Aussie as opposed to churches that are filled with asians)

exam...

the 3 organizations that i want to support if i start earning money

(1) www.kiva.org - a site where u can lend money to entrepreneur from 3rd world country. 99.7% of money loaned has been returned. highly reliable. run by some amazing people

(2) world vision - poor kids, just sponsor them la, so cheap somemore

(3) Gospel For Asia - native missionaries, even cheaper, however i'm aware that not everyone would wanna support them.

was watching oprah yesterday. a programme from a month ago. andre agassi came on! he rocks la, he started a private school that's state of the art in an area where 70% of the kids are from single parent family. now he's building a college for them and should be completed by the time the first batch graduate. the school even has it's own gym! and the teachers have to sign a countract that they are to be available 24 hours, then the parents' participation in the meetings for the school and other activities are compulsory, coolness.

Bill Clinton came on too, along with some really amazing little girls who raised amazing amounts of money for various organizations. a girl from wheaton high raised 100,000 for HIV kids in africa. then during the program someone contributed 500,000 for her 2nd project, and somemore she herself has a liver prob....

the 2nd girl that i can remember inspired the Angel Network thingy which i'm not too sure about. but her group now has 6 million dollars in pennies =.= amazing people. of course Kiva.org was featured after that haha, and because of the show, the site crashed a few times. 1 month after it when i log on, money in loan increased from 10mil to 12mil. world is full of amazing people too.

hospital reno

2007-10-07T14:45:00.000+09:30

yesterday, as in saturday (06/10/07), me and a few friends of mine from church went to this community project to renovate the paediatrics section of the Women's and Children's Hospital. it's really quite cool cause some 12 churches (i think) came together and i went for the saturday afternoon shift and there were ~150 people working there.

right, when i looked at the footage before signing up last week, i thought it was just 1 hall. when i got there. i found out that we are renovating like, 1 PART of the hospital =.= but it was fun la, so many ppl working at the same time. hmm..it was really hard to tear the carpets up and transporting them though @@ then we painted all the furnitures black..as in ALL. why? well that's the question all of us asked at some point, and the answer given was since all the walls, floors, window etc etc are of bright colours, they figured it'd b better if the furnitures are black, so that there's actually a contrast =) i also helped shift in those cushions for chairs, those that patients sit on as they wait for their turn. they basically changed all the cushions, which is good.

erm..so basically that's all we can do as students i guess. there were adults who are drilling,putting final layer on wall, fixing up chairs etc. but the amount of furnitures they have was just.....so many people who painted for HOURS and still there are more! oh yea they received a brand new plasma TV as well =) hmm.. all in all it was a good experience. oh and the paints that they used were especially easy to wash off. warm water alone did the job just fine.

so in total the people stayed there for 31 hours and 27 of those were spent renovating. it is done now but i don't know what it look like now, but i think should be good.

oh yea...as to why we even bothered to renovate the area. it was in a mess, but since it was not critically in need of a make-over, all the fundings go to the machineries etc. so the churches decided to work on that area. hmm...i guess i'm quite glad that i join this particular church cause i've always wanted to be in a church that actually helps the community and not in some church that only live life inside its four walls.

-END-

OCF UniSA's 10th anniversary!

2007-09-22T23:54:00.000+09:30

hmmm i got back an hour n half ago from OCF UniSA's 10th anniversary and have just finished eating my supper =)

basically it's a chance to dress up for everyone, and i finally got to wear my formal suit at least once XP and i've sort of figured out how to style my hair ahahaa.

hm...they kinda shared about how ocf uniSA was started which was true the perseverance of 2-3 people's prayer back in the early 90s and OCF UniSA was officially recognised as part of OCF Aust on 1997, to cut the story short. oh on a side note. OCF AdelaideU celebrated it's 50th anniversary last year.

2008, ocf convention will be held in adelaide, very excited as i'll get to save money on flights as i don't have to fly to other states.

2009, the year which marks the 50th anniversary of OCF Aust...the convention will be held in MALAYSIA! well most ppl have already known this for quite some time but still...at least it's now more of a reality i suppose, with more ex and current OCFers gathering together. oh yea, the pioneers of OCF are mainly from M'sia some 50 smtg years ago. to be exact 51 la, since OCF AU is the 1st OCF centre....

oh yea...some ppl commented that ppl this year are overdressed while ppl were under-dressed last yearXP very interesting to see people in formal wears...

we had 3 photographers so waiting for the pictures as of now. but i probably wun upload anything la..when go back only show ya all...

Music Fun Tac

2007-09-21T23:48:00.000+09:30

couple of reasons i decide to do this.
(1) i am bored
(2) the other person who's so bored that he nearly kills himself hyperbolically(or smtg lidat) is missing in action
(3) i finally figure out how to put ALL my songs in shuffle mode.

this is the 1st time i've listen to non worship songs in ages! and the 1st song was chinese! i haven done that since...er...can't remember...listening to "is there a song that will make you remember me" by ...emil chau...i think. zhou1 hua2 jian4

ok anyway...

The rules laid out are:
1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on Shuffle mode.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Write any comments you have after the song name.
5. Tag everyone who’s linked to your blog (those reading this entry included too!) and get them to tell you when they’ve done theirs, so you can both laugh at each other’s “misfortunes” or “coincidences”! =D

Hold your hand, and steal a kiss
Or two
On the front porch with you

had to post...

2007-09-19T23:11:00.000+09:30

...so that people actually know I am still alive. wanted to wait till 26th Sept then can set a record of 3 months without posting, but then i am scared that i might get too busy then to post.

nothing that's happening here is considered as new to me now, everything has mostly fall into a routine. skipping lectures and tutes are becoming a bad bad habit that i'll try to overcome next term...

August flew by quite fast. the only things i remember from August were the preparation and the actual night of Evangelistic Night organised by OCF AU with assistance from OCF SA. and the next thing would be the Brooke Fraser concert the next day (31st Aug). I super like this girl cause she's got a mesmerizing voice! not only that, she's very cute and funny too! and only a few years older than me... I think she's 22 this year and is from NZ. anyway she's really thin. so thin that her thighs can never touch each other. however she has really amazing muscles...seriously..i think in her case it's muscle and bones... she plays the guitar(she has 3 of them) and the piano/keyboard. her muscles really show when she strums man..... oh and another thing is in the concert, her voice, regardless of talking or singing, even the songs are EXACTLY like the ones in her albums! meaning her album wasn't edited before be distributed in the market, which is quite common among artists.

oh yea, now it's spring d. actually it's stuck between winter and summer. the coldness + the annoying brightness of the sun. currently looking forward to the blooming/growing of the purple colored tree whose name i cannot remember but my senior say should come out around 1 month from now.

oh and it rained just now! and i "jogged" in the rain with someone...haven't done that since...err...high school? lol. it haven't rained with such a suitable degree that i would actually want to, or rather, need to, brave it =) and better still the person i was with was so funny! first time i've heard someone who purposely buy bigger sized jeans so that they can still wear it IF they gain weight. as if it's possible to gain more inch around your waist when you run everyday...enough said...well actually no, she's a girl so basically no her waist size won't get bigger due to gaining of muscles. girls' abdomen muscles don't really bulge out like guys'.( and anyway cannot possible gain that much muscle before the jean wear out..)

oh oh! i bought a bicycle...and a helmet and yea equipments for my bike(lights, pumps, locks) but i mainly use it to cycle to my friend's house instead of uni...due to the annoyingly bright sun XP and also cause of those sudden surges of wind! now i remember....on the 30th Aug...gosh actually had to bend down to walk! due to the preparation for E-night(see above) we were bringing the food over in cling wraps, then the wind go and blow the clean wrap away .... the whole thing nearly spilled. they were rice balls btw...like sushi like that one. in the end we used my jacked to wrap around it cause for some reason i were the only one wearing my ultra big jacket that i wore in college. hmm btw it feels like i was flying whenever i wear that jacket here...

anyone who's bored should stop now, because i'm gonna blog for my own memories XP the next thing i remember was my birthday which 3 other people celebrated with me, right after the concert actually. it was very late and we ended up talking till 2am..then i walked 2 back then went back to sleep at my friend's place. haha i actually spent 2 nights at his place until his roommate asked me what happened to my house XP oh btw that was the 1st time i celebrated my birthday with friends with a cake since...err....standard....3? or 2? LOL! oh i also received my 1st handmade birthday card from a friend in SG..happy ^^

next! i'm trying to get my fitness back, like Hean, except that he has started and i'm just thinking to start...i mean..the weather too infrequent! ok i'll stop making excuses... gah i'll start i'll start..must la, haven't exercised at all since half a year ago lo. and walking is not considered as exercising to me la. btw talking about Hean...go and read his blog..the post on ducklings..that's one side of his that you don't really get to see everyday..

alright...as of right now i really can't think of anything else...oh ya! i changed my hairstyle..and got a pair of new running shoes that was on discount. those who are actually interested to see my new hairstyle, or my shoes, can ask from me personally la. no quota to upload onto this blog, don't really know how also XP

oh hairspray in my opinion is a nice movie, better than dreamgirls in many aspects. i recommend it to people who likes dancing and singing. or simply wants a touching movie?
haha oh yea i wanted to buy gel but accidentally bought a hairspray...*sigh*

ok i better stop now or i'm going to continue "rattling" on and on and on and.......

ADD-ON: ok i realise that it's actually not that long, not as long as Sandra's anyway so...

i'll be going to Melb end of this year, departing 26th Nov, coming back to Adelaide on 10th Dec. then taking the flight on 21st Dec to go back home. probably reach PG at night =) oh yea going Melb mainly for the OCF convention which is from 3-7 Dec and the rest of the time is just for me to burn money =.= but i wanna visit the park that Hean mentioned in his blog...and er...anyone has any suggestions as to where i can stay -.-"

oh and to vent my frustrations. for my Dynamics mid-sem test. i freaking substituted "g" as -9.81 when i told Beh that i subs g=-9.8 by accident, he replied by saying it should be -9.81 =.= for those who still haven't caught on, g is ++++++9.81 >.< i only realised my mistake near like the end..i only had 5 minutes to go through 2 LONG ques that cost around 18 marks each T.T hopefully i corrected correctly...

26th

2007-07-26T22:57:00.000+09:30

right....ok let's start from friday shall we. OCF was a blast! there were SO many newcomers! the venue was so full that it could barely accommodate all of us, and to think most of the oldies did not show up... so many people from china and it's july intake ler..in fact i am guessing there are more people that night than during my first welcome night in feb.

sun..after church i went back home..wa that day very dissapointed;
(1) someone chose not to go my house for lunch, which is still understandable
(2) that someone din come to my house after that even though she promised to. she chose to watch movies instead.
(3) when she does come after the movie, she was too tired and slept till she had to go somewhere else...

so yea kinda down abit, really wanted to talk to her...but then *shrug*

monday since my class starts at 2pm, i met up with nesta for lunch. he brought along ferlis n Chong, his housemate. these ppl r very fluent in cantonese and even i find it hard to follow, in the sense that even though i can understand the rapid shots from 3 mouths
, it's still hard to react fast enough to speak back lol.
oh yea 1st day of lecture = boring

tues don't remmeber what happened, only that the bus was late twice on two occasion that i try to go uni that i was nearly late or maybe a bit late for the lectures. another boring day at uni. after that i just took the bus down to You-Know-Who's place to eat dinner, after people kinda ask why i haven been seen with her for a while. weird meh?

wednesday....getting really bored with the lectures, cant they start teaching? materials talk about chemical bonds, phy about smtg insignificant that i cant be bothered about but manage to shoot a well 10 minutes over, causing me to have to walk home at 6.10pm which btw is pitch black here in adelaide. and i rushed like crazy to go home cause i have to meet suling at 6.45 so that i can get to church in time =.= i fail to eat both lunch n dinner that day but manage to eat smtg arnd tea time. lunch bars helps too. oh ya prayer meet was good apart for the fact that i haven really been making those ultra long prayers in pure english that it was abit awkward not to use my manglish.

thursday which is today is just so great cause i only had 2 hours of lecture =) i met mel for lunch 1st! so happy lol so long din get to eat with her d...or even talk to her hehe. crap alot, talk a lot about important stuff as well =) errrr yea.

2molo going koorong with her n Her. managed to find out after organising that there will be a 20% discount, whole store, for 1 day. then found out that Mel has this wicked Hillsong card that gives 10%,20%,30% discount after each purchase of 30 dollars or more... she said that every year there'll be an announcement in ocf before they all go shopping with the 30% discount =) after that, well...the card is good for collection hehe. also decided to go hillsong conference next year if i somehow manage to get the money.... err....ikat perut lo. i would do that if i haven got so many food that will expire...sigh. bsides, the nasi lemak(among other m'sian food) are tempting...even though they cost $9...

19th July

2007-07-19T22:42:00.000+09:30

wow, it's been SO long since i last posted....i seriously cannot remmeber why though XP

ok i'll try to recall what i did hah....
1st week of July, 2-6th july that week, me n liz were both sick so yea...probably stayed home and watched movies/animes.

then i think on 8th, after church me, liz, mel went to marion. david, rachael, kah wai all pulled out last minute so....hm... Marion is actually one of the 2 biggest shopping mall in SA, it's the one to the south while the other is to the north. it's smaller than even QB in Penang, while the design is similiar. all the shopping places here r long =) but Marion only have 2 floors, the 3rd floor only a very small area for the cinema.

while shopping malls in M'sia are full of shops, Marion and even Tea Tree Plaza(another shopping paradise) are more like a huge place where big shops compete. Myers, David Jones, Big W, Coles, Woolworths, K-mart and every shop can be found there. Coles etc are like...makro.

ok back to Marion...nothing special la, and it closes at 5pm also...>.<

erm then from 11-14 i was in this chinese winter youth camp. it is actually quite nice to be amongst chinese speaking people again. I kinda feel that they are friendlier than eng-ed ppl so basically i feel more relaxed there than easter camp la. or mayb it's jz because i actually know someone there this time hehe.

while E-Camp served expensive looking western food prepared by qualified cooks at a very cheap price, this Winter Camp which btw was organised by the Goodwood Methodist Church served food prepared by 2 of the youths. and so we get to eat proper chinese food. ie healthy food. also i like the campsite more la...we get a toilet per room leh. but bathroom had to share still. i only bathed once in the 4 days 3 nights camp and guess wat, there was NO queue at all! both the shower room were empty @@ oh yea 1 thing about the lighting system... it is those kinda switch that turns off automatically after a set period of time so someone actually has to hold the switch... for guys, someone juz stick a branch across the door to press the button the whole time ^^

oh we also got 1 heater each room but not allowed to on overnight. seriously dun see the need as it's not THAT cold in the rooms with sleeping bags on...but the last morning wanted to see sunrise...went out at 6.30am n it was so cold that i shivered like crazy! i've nvr...shivered continuously lidat b4 leh @@ so i ran back to the main hall where i spent the night T.T so sry to the person i'm supposed to watch sunrise with... =(

oh yea, gained a lot from the camp. sermons and games were good basically like the camp la. (note to self: jz read the booklet to remind urself about the camp, too long to type.)
perhaps 1 thing worth noting is since everything was conducted in chinese, i get to learn something regarding christianity in chinese la. like the songs, the name of the books etc. oh yea the talks were quite relevant to the chinese society as well.

to whoever wants to know more, just email me....

ok i think this post is a bit erm...too long...haha am gonna go do some other stuff d, tomorrow welcome night for OCF, hope that the response would be good! adios!

finally another post

2007-07-02T11:47:00.000+09:30

hehe yupz...exam is over...let's see, after the final paper, i slept for 7 hours until 11pm at night, then went on to sleep at 4am till .... 9smtg i guess, couldnt remember, and yes the reason being i actually studied for the final paper the day b4 =)

thurs started catching up with my anime/movies, friday was supposed to go to art gallery but my fren got sick so cancelled lo...then after that someone used my kitchen to cook for OCF that night...thankgiving night = sharing + eating.

that night slept over at fren's place after talking till early morning. slept for 3 hours then rushed to another fren's place to gather for the monarto (private zoo) trip. it was cool but it was freezing! cool because out of all the animals there...i've erm...nvr seen any of them elsewhere....bside the lions i guess..hmm...hav nvr heard of their names also, some nvr seen in TV either.... i guess if i can i'll b going back in december by myself cuz it wun b this cold and i would b able to explore myself without ppl disturbing ^^ oh yea...the animals are not kept in cages so they roam in the wild and WE HUMANS have to take buses...there's no walking trail in the 2 gates(predators) or 3 gates(very dangerous predators) area.
among the animals there: lions, cheetahs, white rhino, black rhino, multiple kinds of goats and sheeps, painted dogs, giraffes, meerkats, mongolian horses, camels, zebras....and the rest all kenot remember the names d....especially the one that looks like gorilla on 4 legs 1...hm...

zoo's special cuz they dun hav common animals like crocodile etc etc, camels r there for us to ride wat... the giraffe we can stand on top of the watchtower where we can feed them....hmm... i like the painted dogs...wiki it if u guys feel like it....i think there should be info on them. hmm..ok might as well say some here so that i can remmber in the future. they are these dogs with small bodies but huge heads and their fur have multiple colors..like how armies paint themselves =) they are extremely smart team players. erm...the cub eats first, then the nurturing mothers, then the sick n injured, then only those who hunt themselves...n that's almost exactly the opposite of lions. oh yea they are the ones kept in he 3 gates area =) reason being they've managed to escape from 1 n 2 gates before...by following the bus's pace underneath the bus....

after the trip was a bit bit exhausted la...n i think was a bit sick as well hehe, so slept till 1am...from erm..around 6pm...then i slept again from 3am to 10am, missing church. so i went to the evening service lo which is cool! well basically edge church is always cool lolz.

and here i am, 12pm monday morning, jzz waking up not long ago >.< i guess today better stay in the house and wath movies + rest la...dun wanna go out and catch a cold again hehe.
