photoful

due to number of photos, they will all in small size

except this one..... I'm a Graduate :D

(it makes me wonder am I going to have to photocopy my cert into A4 size to bring to interview etc, or do i leave the size just the way it is? (A) )

Faith & Moon on Monday :)


December 18 - Graduation Day

I think that in the morning, after I collected my gown from Regalia Shop at Carrington St, when I was walking home, someone tried to hit me with an apple. REALLY. It was like, I stopped awhile, then I saw something flashed across my eyes then when I looked to the left, I saw an apple rolling on the floor. T_T

Breakfast at Kowloon.. again.. (had dinner there the night b4)

Graduation was good. The guest speaker's speech is something I can relate and feel about. It was really funny hearing Barry pronouncing names.. lol

I sat next to Phoebe. Phoebe is this girl that I saw since last year I think. She is a girl I REALLY THINK LOOKS LIKE HEBE. =D lol. She's Korean. Kinda funny how we ended up chatting more than I thought we ever could.

photos during post graduation

Francis, Leanne, me & Jason

Cathy, RuShan & YJ


Dinner @ Steamboat place..

Met Rain there when we were about to leave. Also very strange. thats the first time I talked to her. lol It was OK, just seeing hws she enjoying her work, and that we shd get togehter when I come back to Adelaide, she Leann Rushan and Seen Ying.

Lemon Cheesecake sis ordered at Cocolat

December 19 - Farewell Dinner at Hog's Breath
I went out for lunch with Justin. It was really nice, I think its the second house I've been into. The first one was Lauryn's a month ago.

Robbie, Jackie, Sui Rob & I table

JY & Xuna Random Photo

Kat, Jackie & Lauryn

Mr Ho, Eugene & Sui

Kevin & Faith

This is what I ordered, Calamari Steak. It was GOOD... UNTIL GODWIN finished up whats about 1/4 of my steak when I walked Lauryn to Stella. He bought me jagerbomb after that which was okay :) hahahaa.. I think its like a really nice way of wrapping things up.

I ended up walking Katherine to HQ. It was nice catching up with things, and u all shd know by now how much i like to talk..

After that, i walked back to CIBOs (which is the same st as Hogs Breath) to collect my card from Sui.. i texted her saying how sad I was for not getting a card (cos she passed to everyone else except me.. )

'its difficult when you know what you want but there is something else which is more meaningful to you'

other things on my mind

for kammmo.. lol
will post grad stuff another day.

thanks big sis for the hug. really need it now.

i thought abt something this morning. everything has both sides right? (pros & cons). u can choose and try to look things brightly. but when something made u feel down, things that can be seen as having equal pros and cons can be looked upon as something negative lor

i m not sure if u understand. its like... there are things that u should be happy for, but because u r down, its like oh, just another thing.. thats all. but if u r feeling ok/good.. you might go 'how exciting'

mmm.
li lin, what u said today, about what you need. i know you are right. i think its better for the both of us.

---
anyways

I realized i need to reset my expectation of what msia is going to be like for me. just now, i had a major knock on my head that it might not be as what i thought it will be...

i have accepted the following:
no car *check
supporting my own living *check
going to be hell alone and lonely at home *sighh... check (lol)

thats all.. with friends.. i did thought abt it, like if they are not going back... will i still go back? the answer is yes i would. but now the question i need to pose to myself is what if you no longer can talk to them? i think thats hw i m feeling about some of them lor. and not that its their fault or wtv, its just that we are different people. i alwys thought that we ll have a good time, going out on weekends etc and work during weekdays. but it all seem so blurry now

but one thing as well is that am i going to rely on friends everytime we go out? YES.. lol maybe i ll just try not to go out as often lo... i m hoping to borrow kammo's car only when karo is here lor, other than that i dunt really mind not having a car

i already plan to bike ard d maa... weekend go sleepover at friends or cousin's place. weekday balik to rumah kosong.

hahah maybe AIESEC in kl can help me reintegrate back to their culture. helping them to run exchange sessions.. i ll prolly bring the photos of chloe and soph for them to see, and andrea, godwin and Cicy too. and some conference pics if any


i think, whats going to happen in the next 3 months are going to be crucial , life changing to me.


oh yeah! hehe.. i wrote a post, i really want to post it, but i know if i post it then theres no turning back, so i m writing tis to make me feel as if i posted it already even if i didnt so yeah... its all GOOD.

'When you look up'

'and i thought that i am OK '

i am losing myself.

dad arrived dy, it was OK. talked a lot to him. more than usual. maybe cos' i m wee bit grown up. its 11pm. he is asleep already. :( I can't PC as long as i would want to now. i feel bad if i did.

tmr is my grad. still no feelings.

i m really disappointed with myself.

my dad asked me to go to brissy b4 going back. i might, if kitmun and yl are there.. lol otherwise i rather go home.

i really like my dad. when i'm young he is my hero. really. i looked up to him a lot. things happened since my mum passed away and we tried to reconcile but its different now. i only wished i could love him more and give him things that he wants from me.

I wanted to hug my sister today too. I never hug her before since she left to aussie the first time. Today, at Coles, it started to hit me that I am not going to stay with her anymore, not in the next few years. I felt really sad and I really wanted to give a hug then. But I didn't :(. Will give her big one tmr.

Then that made me think abt big sis in LA. If she is here now too I would hug her. She's been a great big sis though bossy but she is still my sis. I would hug both of them tight!!

*sniffs* hehe i have tears running down my eyes.. (well, walking down my eyes :P)

all i m saying, is that I kinda regret not showing how much i feel for them at times when it really mattered.



'Cause when i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk...
When I talk to you'

Mandy Moore's When I Talk To You. (i have this song's lyric in my blog b4, i find this song really meaningful and touching, it saddens me)

dead nights.

my odd-night sessions of waking up and playing PC will have to take a halt for the moment, as my dad is arriving in 4 hrs. he ll be sleeping in the same room as I am, and I ll be lucky if I can even stay on the PC till 1ish. lol

bright side: gets me to do other non-PC things which i can do in KL.

dark side: lost of communication/social interaction with close friends

anyways, my grad is tmr. i dont have any feelings for it. really. dunno.. maybe cos like things like this in life must be shared with good pals =). i'll fly you in if you want. yes, YOU. PLEASE be my pal.. *wink

I hope to meet up with Robbie and Anne tmr, take some shots with them.

hmm.. today? oh, Faith & Moon =) Faith was late, but Moon was latest. lol

updates?
trip 1 - VTs 9-9,10-10 dy kua.. easiest.. hehehee
trip 2 - road trip - dunno whos going, dunno where to go, got the date dy, but now have to change again. but at least we know the dates we cant do... (anything after jan 12 is no no). so hopefully can draft something out la.. at least we got the content of the trip dy :)

trip 3 - HELP girls (sigh) - mm penang/singapore. dates might be prob for this one.


trip 4 - karo..*blank* .. lol.. i dunno.. Langkawi.. Twin Towers, KL towers, shopping here and there... eat eat eat... karaoke... midnight life etc... i dunno.. anything kua maybe take her to Pangkor and melaka would be ideal

=)

' i want to see the whole world, but i don't want to do it alone'

chubbier.

my face is plum now. :( dunno why also. i think i realised this during exam period... when i webcam with li lin.. i thought it was nothing.. but now quite clear lorrr..

i think someone who has a chubby body is not as bad as having a chubby face :(

u know u got a chubby face when u open ur mouth (ur jaw goes downwards), and u can grab a hold of ur face meat near the neck area..

i am worried!!! i mean.. summo when i go back KL that time sure eat alot more one... how??

=(

Looking for jogging/walking partner in KL. Daily walks, evening/morning negotiable. Please contact me at 012-3376755.
Note: preferably Hot Chicks... and I am NOT talking about Nandos. :P

- i really ifnd it funny today at the park with Andrea. I mean, its really interesting to hear them speak in Portuguese. And I thought her friend Josie is an Australian. heh

my ipod shuffle is working again, all i need to do was to reinstall the software... lol i didnt realised i have that option till i read the manual again..

oh and camera in KL is cheaper. going back to buy :)
end of story! lol

now i only got two luggage to bring home. so easy. save money also. but i m leaving my comforter here.. most likely. among all the bed time items, pillow, bolster and comforter, i find the laast one most useful, u can wrap yourself in it, or around it (bolster) or fold it into a pillow.

^_^

Michelle Branch's One of These Days

tired. really tired.

i am sleepy now. i think maybe cos' i walked the whole day, woke up sixish then go back to sleep b4 waking up tenish.

liverpool lost. bah! frustrated

played too much human pet.. tired eyes

now im mentally tired.

meeting up with moon and faith tmr :)

i wanna go online, but im tired.

sleep

dad coming tmr.... day going to be long dy.. sighhh

i wish for alot of things.

ching may lol.

i had this dream about this shopping mall. you have all sorts of thing. its like at this one area, its like shopping mall/wild life theme park kinda thing. its not really like mammals kind of wild life, ti think they have like scorpions roaming around the place, then u can see some aquatic animals underneath the floor (its a glass floor)

i thikn there is this one part where everyone i splaying chess/ board games, and cm and i decided to play. the pieces were really random, i got a proper one and it was black. cm's however is like monopoly houses, but smaller, in colors of red, yellow and green. then there was this guy who i think is ching may's friend sitting nearby talking to us whilewe play.

i think like ching may said something about how i goof aroud people and something like that thats why she don't trust me being alone (w/o her) with her friends.

ii this thats the part that i can recall.. maybe cos its really really weird to have ching may in my dreams.. lol



today is.. sunday, going out later to meet up with andrea for picnic, but i ll prolly just take some photos, talk to herfor abit and leave. I might go around city buying stuff to bring home i guess

things to buy

chocs (for general friends lol)
hl's musem piece
jy's something (still thinking)
kammo n jo's chocs... hope its cheap ler

=)

i am 21.

Min Li used the word 'only'. I think 21 is a fair age, no longer only.
Everyone should start working by now.
Some people already did 2-3 years back.
4 yrs on you'll be in your mid 20s and living your adult life.
And when are you planning to have a family? Children, any?

I am already 21. What am I gonna do about it?
I have plans, but they are just plans.
3 yrs of working in Public accounting for the CA, then up the corporate ladder I go.
Open a company/organisation in the future with emphasis on environment & corporate social responsibility

Relationship wise, I think I am looking to have a stable and steady relationship by 24-26.

less blogging than before

i've just checked my previous posts, e.g. last years. Some of them feels like it was just not too long ago I had that dream (I blog about my dreams every nw and then, so yeah).

Also, by numbers, I've blogged less this year compare to the last two. I think only this month i've been blogging more.. cos' I am leaving home and etc. :P

i've just finished watching HERO.

now what do I want to do? I don't know. hehe.. i'm on9 now but not chatting with anyone. Maybe i'll go offline and come back later. for the moment, i prolly continue drawing stuffs...

and your eyes goes O.O

lol
i cut bits of my hair today. i don't think it look too much diff, which is good.. I cut bits of my left top front and sideburns.

'I open myself to you to let you into me, to hope you understand who am I, not to overwhelm you'

walk

"i want to walk side by side with you, holding hands.
if i walked too fast, tell me and i'll walk slower.
if i am behind you, take a deep Breath and I'll be next to you."


lines that came to me when I was walking, but kinda like.. unreal. Cos' its impossible that you can't see that you are walking too fast/slow.

I think that when it comes to forgiving things, I have a hard time letting things go. I choose to make it difficult for myself to forgive myself. This is bad cos' in my POV I think that you must always forgive yourself and move on. If you don't, you only make yourself & others suffer "pains" that are not necessary.

I think like, I am kinda useless when it comes to making ppl feel better. Its like, I need that someone to make some effort as well. (I know that in the end you do NEED that person to make an effort, cos' if she/he dont want to feel better, you can't do anything). But I know that I am not as good as I should be.

You know, in life, I am not really determined about a lot of things. I don't mind if things doesn't happen and I always let those slipped away from me. I guess thats one of the disadvantage of being positive all the time. Hopefully, I can be a more determined person and strive hard for what I want.

I am really tired. Not physically. But I know that I will be better. =)

Yesterday was a 'day'. But its just a day now.

I want to just close my eyes.

it is raining outside

i started the day talking to min li. its been awhile since the alst i talked to her. told her stuffs thats been going on lorr... kinda a lil' blue feeling, when we talked about changes and all...

I went to city to meetup with Robbie and Anita for a meal at 12. The bus I took 'sei foh' twice I think.. kinda scary if it doesn't start again and in middle of nowhere.

We went to Noodlelicious, which is where I will be going again on Monday with Faith and Moon. I think talking to them, I sort of summarised my stay here, from the start, how I feeling needing something to support my stay here socially and then to what the future is going to be like.

Anita & me

After that I went to office to sort out Jan Con payment stuff. I went to WestPac and along the way I saw this. Its call sand sculpture, and you are looking at a female's behind.. :S hahahaa.. the lady was sculpting and i was like errr... but then I changed my mind. :P thought it would be funny, how you are looking at the whole sculpting and there's an *** right back at you.

Took pics with Nimz :) I like the photo. hehehehe (I take one!)

I think this pic is really.. emotional. thanks to Aleks!

--- Godwin William Jon & I went to Dumpling King for dinner. I had special chilli beef rice, as spicy as the noodle i had last time. lol. afterwards while we were buying bubble tea Godwin was checking out this girl who was standing not too far away. kinda funny.

and then.. this..


Its really funny. Godwin told me about it, that Crazy Horse is having this Mega Strip thing. LoL. i mean like, how mega a strip can be?? lol ... what if its ultra? how stripful it would be then????


Adelaide United
I always been wanting to go for a game. It cost me 16 bucks for the entry, and then 5bucks for the rain coat cos it was raining and windy. x_x

Adelaide United lost 2-1 to Mariners. The whole stadium was filled with passion towards the last 30mins when we manage to grab back a goal and the team was able to pressure the visitors. However, we did not get the goal we could have gotten, too little too late.

some photos



Big Red (the Mascot), JY & BR and Hindmarsh Stadium where we watched the game.



Refs' warming up (what if one got injured?), Kickoff, Photo time



Godwin's halftime snack, beer and churros, Godwin & me post game

I was supposed to go out with Andrew tmr, but I just cancelled it. No mood dy... Besides, I need to clean the house, maybe try to settle some work at home kua.

8 days. its still too long. :(

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahh
lol, mr Ho., asked me to go to that stripclub next week with him. I don't really want to, but I don't know.. lol. It would be really odd and weird. I don't want to go, not because its a stripclub, well maybe cos its that. But I just don't see the point of paying x to go there and see lor. lol Godwin says its better than HD.. hahaha funny guy.

we'll see how.



hehe just add one thing - i absolutely Lurvee peifern's 2nd quote =)

Portable Scanner

Do you know that portable scanner is really useful these days?

If you have a laptop, you can essentially scan your documents anywhere at anytime. In your car, while you are rushing to work, all you need to do is just plug it in and scan you documents. It saves time compare to scanning it at home. You can also bring it to 'work' at a coffee shop, and do any necessary scanning there while you sip you iced tea, rather than doing a takeaway and rush to a nearby scanning service around the area.


ScanShell 2000N, is one of those many portable scanners available in the market. Its a A4 sheet fed scanner. One of the features that I really like is the speed. It scans 6 ppm (Six pages per minute), Colored. That is even faster than the scanners at the libraries. I think that its speed is really important. If its portable, and its speed is like 1-3ppm, then its not useful at all.

It weights about 330g, which means its easy to be carried around. Its power comes from the USB2.0, which means that you'll only need one cable, rather than having one data and one power cable separately. The USB 2.0 allows you to connect to most computers these days, whether it be PC or MAC.

Scan2Contacts is the business scanner and software for Microsoft Outlook. It is easy to use and if you are a Microsoft Outlook user you will like it a lot as it is fully integrated into the program. It is the only program that allows you to scan the business cards directly into Microsoft Outlook. I believe that working adults that have regular meetings with people will find this item useful in organising their daily lives.

Indian flavored.

rs

I slept 1/2 way talking to Li Lin again yday night. Was watching RAW till abt 210 ish before i KOed. :( damn sad lor, I mean, i want to watch till the end mar. If sleep and missed Li Lin I don't mind, at least make the sacrifice worth while. x_X

Now its like cannot meet both ends of the bridge.. lol

Anyways, I started my morning feeling really tired and sleepy. I thought about my luggage and it gave me headache really. I thought about buying laptop then I won't be so fan. But I anti-laptop one. how? If I buy laptop then i dont need the monitor. But anyways I just realised that I need to bring home my pillow and comforter too, so ... more goods into the box dy.

I went and window shopped for cameras. Radio Rentals, JBs and Harvey Norman wasn't really helpful. Mark frm Dick Smith was very helpful, now I shortlist my camera to two only. Canon's IXUS 75D ( I THINK) and Olympus 790SW (:P) . Personally I love 790SW for its shockproof. Guys like me will find it really useful. It is also waterproof 3m. :) so I can use it to swimming pool and beach and snorkeling and stuff.. :) I don't think I'll buy Canon, unless because of the price lor.


did some AIESEC stuff while waiting for 4pm to meet with David. helped Sui to use the scanning upstairs. we waited for David at McDs and it was really funny cos' like Sui just waved at him in front of the manager.. lol. ADVICE: NEVER EVER ARRANGE TO MEET AT A RESTAURANT unless you want to test your control and resistance. lol. Robbie, Sui and I were like staring at the menu and tempted to order something. I caved in but after Robbie mentioned about the uncertainty of the size, I woke up.. lol

Then on the way to Starbucks, David mentioned that he gets 1/2 price for the McD food..

We ordered Signature Iced Choc... which was okay. Personally I prefer bean bar much much more. Anyways, after the chat, I am really glad that David is feeling okay and doesn't feel to worried about the exchange/ situation in Chennai.

David & me

I had dinner with Lauryn at Raj on Taj, apparently its very popular, even my sis knows abt it! :)
I had goat, which tastes like lamb to me. Coconut naan was funny.

didnt do joggin today. :(

finally i know what girth means, which then what happened this morning abt me thinking hard abt my luggage doesnt need to happened :P lol

any last points? mmm... going out for meal with Anita, sorting payment for conference and SOCCER!!! Adelaide United v Central Coast! :D should be interesting

=) i wrote a 'song' today. might post it here someday. if its okay.

ta! off to spidey 3

trips, trips, trips.

hmm.. anything interesting ahh..
Today, i went to city. i managed to sort out David's and the documents for my cousin!

meeting with David tmr, meeting with Lauryn tmr as well! :)

i am planning to buy Backpackers for David if he likes card games.

i took photo of Andy today.

didnt go jogging cos i ended up over crapping with some one and spent the most of the time to patch things back.. lol.. (or is this an excuse for not going to jogging? :P)

i wrote some cards for xmas' sending them tmr. most likely will be belated.

LIVERPOOL TROUNCED Marseille and become the first something team to win at their stadium. :) Looking forward to this weekend. VIVA REDS!

yup thats all i got for now.

=) tis is great.

Cape Jervis & rest of Dec 11

I like this photo heaps!

Fleurieu Penisula's map from the paperbag of my food: steak and bacon pie ( i ordered another meat n veg later on, it wasn't as good). If you look at the pic, you can find Yankalilla and Cape Jervis. Adelaide probably 20-30mins drive from Noarlunga if I am right. (Noarlunga is like the end station of our Adelaide Metorbus, whereby you switch to country buses over there)

I tried Lemmington too. Its like our kuih that we did we shaved coconut. Lemmington is an Aussie cake.. according to Kylie and Jen.

Fucking scary clown. Look at 'him'. Jeez!

Kylie and Jen. (A fly landed on my mouth while I was taking this pic)

There were flies everywhere at that idiotic place. We took the photo below so many times before we got it right. One pic, Kylie has fly on her face. lol.

There were very nice scenery along the way. I didn't took too many and those I that I took aren't good representations of what I saw. I took a photo of the sea, of which dolphins were 'playing', jumping in and out of the sea. It was really cool cos' thats my first time seeing wild dolphs. After that I bought a coffee fo Jen and we went home. I was still trying to fix her seat belt when we got back into the car but its impossible!!

I came back and I went back out to the city to sort out the documents that ah peen kor2 needs. I talked to Andy at the office. Have to call him for the outing this weekend. :) Oh, I borrowed Hoodwinked and Hero to ease my boredom, if I need to. I went to Coles with sister after that, took some pics of Ethan while I was in the car. and I bought chips and Choc chips home, in case if I ever miss Australia.

Anyways, today has been a turning point day i think. for something else.

I've talked to Ian today. I appreciate how he showed concerns when I wrote in my nick 'all the troubles'. AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE who asked!!! If you were online then and you read my nick and didn't bother asking, shame on you!!! tsk tsk tsk..

i've sorted out some meeting stuff , I can see that there are too many things to do, even though I don't do much everyday. lol.

Hopefully I'll meet up with Faith and Moon tmr for lunch. Next week I'm meeting up with Godwin, Andrea, Jen (at least) for dinner and with Finance ppl for dinner/lunch. This weekend HOPEFULLY i'll go out with James KQ and co. I've started asking friends about NY Eve plans cos' Lydia asked me about it. Where to go this time? I must make it different but great at the same time!!

i never hear from Karo yet, sigh, can't lock down other plans, feel kinda bad.

in less than one hour I'll be watching Liverpool's game. liverpool lost this weekend but its OK cos Arsenal did as well. But its a pity. How we lost to Reading when it should have been another 3points. Ahh..


David, my EP, is going to have some problem now. Just now (like 4-5hrs ago), Sui send me an email on the status of AIESEC in Chennai. Its bad. Real bad. And David is going there. I need to talk to Sui and Chloe, before I talked to David. Personally I would tell him everything and see what he wants to do about it. I would want him not to go but of course there are other factors coming into play, such as purchased air tickets and other expenses incurred. It would be silly not to. =( I really feel sad if he were to go and suffered like Rhiannon did. Its just not fair.

that said, my sam is not lor2 luen, not now anyway.

nightz & morning to you.

i need to be brave ;P

just went out for dinner with sis n family. went to amarin, which is the same as the amarin 2 that simon sui n interns n i have our dinner a few months back. the food is really good.

went to ice cream shop after that. there is this guy having this massive cone with 4 big scoop of ice creams.. MASSIVE!

after that came back... its really a good night. i called it lovely bright night because it was a really nice dinner, had a great time laughing and enjoying the food. and the night was still bright when we reach home.

changed plans with andrea, pushed to next week.

going out with jenni tmr! :D

talking to yj nw which is great. she met flic

so troublesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my graduation tickets for my sister, bro-in-law and dad! :)

lemme c what i did today. TRANSITION! omg too me so long 1030 (printing materials) -11, 11- 1230 (transition the 9 9 & 10 10 to Aleks! ) jeez. then summo Jen broke the printer with her piles of papers. x_x
sooo hungrry, i decided to eat blue lemon.
met up with Ru Shan, helped her format her comp, in between I talked to Francis and Anita.

after all that, went to dept of immigration. puuz! so stupid! so troublesome now.... i dont think i will be coming back for staying here permanently but i don't want to lose that option u knw? so i need to talk to the peeps and make sure that i can let this expire and then apply for another one when i come back next time.

=)

Courage and hope. i wrote these two words on my left palm. :)


i told my friend the other day 'u determine how interesting u want your life to be'. i think that a person's life, how interesting it is, is a subjective q. I might do something i like that u may not. i might enjoy something that you don't. i might find something interesting that bores you. my point is, whatever it is, alwys alwys alwys alwys look at the bright side. and choose to be happy and interesting. lol

^_^

i wanna go for a walk and a jog. i call it.. wogging.

*wink

brownies are GOOD! :P

JEN is the best!!! She is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet and nice!! She wanted to bring brownies over for me on Friday, but I didn't picked up her call, so we ended up meeting at her work place, Ikea, on Saturday for lunch. The brownies are are YUMMY! lol. Damn sad lor. Cos' its like, I think I need to workout a LOT to offset the sugar intake. X_X

But anyway, I had a good time talking to her. I really appreciate it. =) I don't appreciate the baked chicken though from the cafeteria... should have gone for meatballs.. lol

I think that, one of the thing that a few people have been mentioning to me is that they can't believe I am leaving and not coming back. (Awww to myself) Its just soooo heart-warming to actually have people, not just one person, say that to you. ANd its like these are not like the people that I met last year. These are the people that I've only met like April-ish onwards. Its really crazy, @.



Kay sent me that URL. It's about playing an educational vocabulary game whilst doing a good deed of donating rice to someone who really needs it. According to the website, the rice donation are made through United Nations, and that the rice are sponsored by organisations that advertise themselves in ads when the game is played. Honestly, if you ask me, I don't know whether how much we play really changes how much the company sponsors, but I like to believe. Besides, it is really fun when you learn about new words. It doesn't take too long to play a few games, and you don't have to 'save', each time you got the answer right, BAM! you did a good thing already! so yah... when you are short in good deeds, try this!!


I'm going to borrow camera from my sister for the whole of next week while I m going to research on camera before purchasing one of my own. My plan for next week is that to take all the photos I should take before going home, esp with the people here.


thats pretty much it. another 40mins before liverpool v reading starts.

la.

do we need insurance?

I admit. All the while, I do think that insurance is an unnecessary expenditure.

I feel its like a bet. If you put in a lot of on insurance, you are feeling insecure about yourself & your possessions. You feel that something might happen, that's why you place a 'bet' that you will lose something. If you win, you'll receive the compensation on your loss. If you lose, you lose the money spent on insurance.

On the other hand, I do understand that accidents occur, and there will be days that your lady luck goes on holiday and you can only wish that you have bought insurance. The problem is that, most of us people thinks or believes that the cost of insurance outweighs the benefits. I am one of those people. Its like... I don't value my health or any of my possessions enough that I will buy insurance now. (But I do have an insurance, i think... my dad pay one.. heheh)

Of course, like everyone else, as you wealth increases, the benefit of insurance increases as well. Maybe when I am a few years into my working years, own several assets, then perhaps at that time, insurance would be appropriate. I will definitely buy insurance for my Prius (if I got one), seeing how poor a driver I am. lol. Definitely. Yeah, never thought about it but now I DO THINK THAT I NEED and MUST HAVE Car insurance when I own a car. And when I do, I should compare car insurance across all the providers. But as for now, a young adult who has just graduated, money can be use in a better way. ;)

However, I do think that I will be purchasing my first insurance soon, or at least I hope so. Travel insurance. ^_^


I still have years before I need to think about Home insurance.

feeling better

i feel alot better after talking to her and after all the chats i had (yes i dont know why i 'confess' abt it to my friends right away, well i think i do... maybe cos i just needed to share it with someone) but thats only to few la. others are like so ngam they ask abt me and gf then.... or else i wouldn't really want to tell.

anyways, nick's and ccw's really stand out .. hl u suck. :P lol

i think like among all, the weirdest thing for me was actually talking abt itwit my sister... i don't really talk to oboth of them about things that i do. so.. yeah.

i m OK. ( yes i have to keep telling myself that because i know i am or i can be, but u know how heart v mind works. you have to tell ur mind to tell ur heart that its OK )

goin' out later for a transition with godwin, kenny and Aleks for Finance regional meeting. then work then come home :)

16 days till i reach KL - 17 days till i reach temporary home

sigh.. what to do for Christmas leh?

I don't want to be that guy who stays at home alone at that time!!! But most likely i will la, Christmas = family celebration. =)

I read this guide on going back home from my uni. I shd set my expectations on whats going to happen and accept the differences i am about to face when i go back. i think that i did that but now i need to layout things to do when i got back home.

1 - talk to yj
2 - find job?
3 - plan outings!
4 - cleanup
5 - shop for working clothes i guess? :S ( not really that important yet)


life is good and life goes on ^_^
i m sad but i m OK. hehe

silent breakup

i am single again.
not sad not happy.
not glad not disappointed.
no tears no joy.
no extreme reaction.

only heartbroken, a little.

talked for 5hrs+. i guess everything should be OK. don't really know what to think much now. i'll close my eyes and hope for 23rd comes tomorrow

life isn't perfect, life isn't fair.
i like to dream of things that isn't real
painful it maybe, but it is a quiet one.


14.02.07 - 6/12/07

things could be much different, or so i dream.

blogging > facebook

I am getting old. lol. No, its not the white hair, wrinkly skin kind of old. The kind where people on the street, your friends that are about the same age and you and media are talking, using, enjoying items that you don't like.

Everytime I got onto Facebook, I gave a good stroll down from top to bottom of the request/invitation list. I accept the friend request. Then look at others, Tattoo from Sya2 (which was there since the beginning) to DOTA from HP, I never accept them. I have this concept of organised page, and I don't think that having those gifts, games, tests would actually give me that.

I enjoy blogging a lot. I love to write. Even though I don't create the atmosphere that makes people wants to read my blog, that's not really my point. I just like typing away all that's on my mind at that time. I like how I can come back here and read posts several months ago and remembered what I was thinking and feeling that time.

-- sorry!, just stopped to write an email to Godwin for Friday's meeting. lol not to say you guys feel the 'stop' =P

anyways, i just like typing... i think it has something to do with the fact that every single button u press it pops up right on to the screen. its like inputing your mind right away. :) hehe



mm one more thing, that I won't really blog directly is about what i feel about someone at the moment. its hard, you know, balancing between trusting someone else an d trusting yourself MORE. i don't know. but to me, if say i look from where i am know, i can tell you that i feel that i shouldn't be where i am. but i'm reluctant to do anything at the moment (thats how i feel now anyway, might end up doing something anyways later .. lol) i'm mean, like, you would think that you know yourself better, but sometimes you tend to make yourself less happy for someone else, even though thats not love.

thats how i feel about things, right now.

thinking day

thought about a lot of things today. more than usual dosage that i do.

I was sick since Sunday due to the short shorts and thin clothes i wore to German town and Mt Lofty. been sneezing the whole day. it was strange cos' it was sort of normal for me to sneeze during a cold day, but not to get sick. it was also strange that the fact that my sister actually ask me take pills, when usually i sneeze nw n then and she don't even bother. it wasn't till that night i realised that its bad. first sick in months.. July the Melbourne conference disease.

anyways, in the morning, i decided to take a walk after Ethan woke up and stopped me from playing more Wii. During the walk, I thought about alot of things, PR, Tax, Superannuation, going home, Li Lin, 10 year plan, exchange, coming back to Australia, car or house?.... The walk really helped to clear my mind on few major decisions that I would make in the coming weeks. Now I'll have to retrieve more information from the respective people.

I've decided that to let my PR expire, unless I would not be able to get another one after that. This is because I know that I won't be back anytime soon (if I am able to go on exchange and get a job in KL while waiting for exchange) and that after that I am more keen to work in KL rather than in Aus at the moment. I forsee myself to work in KL for at least a few years, and perhaps during that time I will apply for secondment to countries around the world. Following on this, I will have to sort out my tax as well as my super, which I have to enquire from the tax office as well as Natalie and Anita.

I know that going back to KL to work is not because I want to be with my friends. I questioned myself, what if HL/CCW is not there or I do not have Li Lin by my side? Will I still prefer to go back or stay here. The thing is that that decision will not affect what I am doing next year (exchange), it will only affect the time after my exchange period. I thought about staying and working here in Aus, and staying and working in KL. I feel that I will be more comfortable interacting with fellow workers at home. (That doesn't mean that I do not enjoy talking to Aussies, its just that I find it more difficult) Also, I guess one of the important question that I need to pose during my interview with any firms is "How is the working environment like in the company? What sort of environment to you envision your company to be like? Do you support a interactive, socially active work place?" I know that interaction between people will be something that I value a lot.

I did think about my transportation method in KL as well. I am reluctant to borrow car from kammo, because its not mine and there is no reason why she should borrow it to us, esp. how dad sold the car that I could have use when I go back. Plus, its not nice to drive someone else's car to somewhere where u dont really need to go. Also, Jo Ann did remind me of how careless I am when driving. I think that, maybe its good that perhaps I do not have a car then. Of course going out will be an issue, maybe I'll spend a lot on taxis but maybe that is a good way of keeping things minimal and appreciate it more. I'll also be looking forward to fixing the bike which dad said is broken. Biking around in KL along the highway is not a good idea, but I think if I can carefully ride it thru the small alleys and keeping at a slow pace, it should be OK. So say I want to go to BU frm Prima 17. Bike along seksyen 17 to ss2, then walk the bike across to DU, cross to Uptown and to BU. lol.. its not easy. but its definitely interesting (and VERY healthy... and tiring.. lol)

Later then, on the bus with ccw and deanna to port adelaide, we've talked about relationships, religion and friends. Its just hmmm really interesting how people are... when we talked about Catherine and Amanda. Hmm.

PayPerPost Blog

OK, this is going to be my first post on my pathway to making my own income through blog advertising. This post, if accepted, it will bring me $20!! :) I think... unless there are some unforeseen issues (e.g. rejection or some minor technical problems).

I first got introduced to PPP by my sister (read post titled PPPed & 24ed). I am really excited about making a living out of typing at home, in front of your computer, sipping your favourite drink while watching your DVD, all these on your lazy chair.

I've recently talked to my sister and I've realised that most of my cousins are all influenced by my other sister to give this PPP a go. Well, to me, I see more than just monetary benefits from PPP.

Other benefits include
- self-expression. The more you write, the easier you are able to express yourself to your audience. Also, through PPP, you'll have an increased incentive to write more about things that you probably don't know much about, which then encourage you to do some research on the product, which then will lead you to new words most of the time. I think that you'll increase your vocab as well, as you search for new words to express your mind and heart.

- improving your English. If English is not your first language, no doubt that PPP creates that extra 'umph' to push you to the deeper end where you won't feel comfortable. Writing in English. Not only this challenges you to do something that you are afraid of, it rewards you for doing that with new found hobby as well as additional revenue, which no one can say no to. ;D

I can only think of those two extra benefits at the moment, but obviously, the benefits and costs are different to each individual. Some might see value it more than others, while some do not see the opportunity in this chance to do something more.

To me, I really like the idea of having my own personal space, which is not advertised, obviously, with what's going to happened with PPP, no doubt that what my ideal blog is no longer there. But life is not perfect. So are ideas. As I am moving towards the young adult stage, I have the responsibility to earn my own living to support myself, rather than still relying on my sisters and dad.

To you, I think that, it is up to you whether you would like to pursue this opportunity. My advice, talk to me, or people you know about this. It won't hurt you to know something more about something else that you know little.

82 & 68 My Magic Numbers!

I graduated! WOOOOOOOOT! lol

though i feel my grades are inferior to most of my friends... but I am satisfied. I think one of the reason why i dont do well in exams since i m in adelaide is that I don't bother memorizing stuff? I try to understand the concepts. Full stop thats it.

=)
BUT NONETHELESS.. Its over, its done. =)

PLanning for future is what i need to do now.. call dad.. sort things with him.. then plan further into my timeline in kl, what i want to do , when i want to do, how much i need to survive...

=)

EXCITING TIMEs!

great nights, dull weekend

hmm had two fantastic evenings during the week, one was the RB handover and the other was our last EB get together as a whole outing.

RB Handover
It was on Thursday evening at King's Head, which according to friends, think it was Godwin, that this is where u can get kangaroo steak. I haven't had one yet so it was a good time to give it a go. However, on the day itself, I realised that the event was meant only for drinks and cocktails, dinner is at an earlier time. I decided to then make some dinner of my own, which was really.. 'innovative'. Lemme c, I fried scramble eggs with cheese, with tomato and lettuce, and i mixed them with cut toast.

Neways, I had a great time talking with people there. A lot of people were commenting on my hair... (i gelled, which was something i haven't do since I came back) This was the first time I meet up with Andrea & Godwin for quite awhile. The last time it was dinner at the Thai restaurant, sometime in Oct.

After all the chatting n stuff, I walked to the bus stop which Sui. I had a great time talking to her. I feel really bad that I did not get to know her when I could before. :( She's this really interesting person, she's like one of those people that has the Western attitude but still able to keep her Asian look. lol..

EB outing
We went to this restaurant SaulDelChin i think... its owned by one of the economics lecturer frm my uni. The place is really awesome. The decorations, the music makes the whole environment a perfect place to have drinks and chat with friends. I think that this is the kind of place that people should go out to, not to pubs where all you can hear is the 'background' music and shout to converse with friends next to you (which is what i feel later at Karo's farewell, the place was so packed). Katherine intro us to this Artisan tea that the tea leaf itself will bloom into a flower once its in the boiling water. I ordered that with Robbie, along wit some dim sum.. lol.. I think this is the first time i had dim sum for dinner since the last time I went out to the Fatt Kee in Taman Mayang at night with family. That was like ages back, but its still on my mind cos its just one of those weird thing happened in your life... dim sum for dinner... lol

The wine that Simon got was really good. Its the first wine that I actually like the taste. It doesnt have the dry rough after taste. Really smooth.

---------------
other things that have happened


sis and family is back.... which is good la, that I at least have someone at home with me.. :)

I tripped over sis's luggage two nights ago... i cut my left palm and bruised my right hand.... the cut couldnt stop bleeding had the apply pressure constantly fr like the first 10 mins... At the moment, I am trying not to stretch/open my left hand too wide as it my reopen the wound.
I bruised my right arm. I don't know how did it get to this state. Actually, i dont know how both my hands end of the way they are.. It was just a common tripover by me.. lol.. But yeah.. this bruised got swollen right away after the fall.. When I look at it, I can see theres the yellowy cells (platlet i think) grouping over there... I think Its where the veins are, so perhaps the knock hit the blood cells, causing them to clot over there. :S never want to see this again.. hopefully there aint no scar..

Y2J is BACK!!

my all-time favourite wrestling player is back at WWE! :D
Chris Jericho, left the company about two years ago, came back to RAW on Monday!! He cut his hair, real short but slick. He uses his old theme, as well as his outfit did not change much, shiny vest :) When I saw him, the strong sensation of 'the Hero is back, better than ever!' really powerful feeling that I seldom feel for shows.

I stopped watching wrestling since WWE merged with WCW, but I got into it again when its on Foxtel every weekend. :)

Now, I can't wait to see the lionsault followed with Walls of Jericho! Perhaps he'll give Randy Orton his very own RKO! :D

When I saw the random odd clip with its matrix design, I have a gut feeling telling me that its Jericho. There was a Y and J somewhere throughout the clip, plus the quote break the wall.



on random note, I watch a Futurama episode which is really sad the other day. Its the one where Fry died and Leela kept dreaming about him, but actually it was Leela who got hopitalised and Fry was by her side all the time.
=) I had tears watching this.

clean up!

It is always nice to get things sorted, which is exactly what I did today. I've swept, mopped, re-arranged, binned and showered. :$ lol

I even managed to organized my papers/texts, I've got like a pile of papers set next to my drawers waiting to be recycled.

I didn't go out to the city today, like how I planned. I wanted to go to city to buy some ingredients and return Ice Age. But I end up making another heavy western BIG brunch. =)

I think my notes/transition docs for Aleks is roughly about 70-80% done. It is more about the practical side now.

I haven't see Kit Mun online yet.. lol

David is matched! but there are still so many craps to follow up. Will be busy doing that as well..

Plans for tmr --> go city, return DVD, go marion, shop/walk around, go Lauryn's, come home.

i'm still waiting to tell sis about the 'broken' toilet and water filter... which i have no idea how they got to that state...

Unofficially Over!

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

It feels so weird, cos' that feeling of 'study life' is over hasn't sunk in yet.... Today, I have finished my Resource n Environment Economics at 1130am. I did Q1, 2a & C, 3 and 6
Q1 was about static and dynamic management of fishery,
Q2a was about why optimal pollution is unlikely to be zero
Q2c was about proving why uniform standard on abatement cost cannot be efficient across two sources with different abatement cost
Q3 was on Coase Theorem
Q6 is Tradable Emissions Permits

I did fairly okay, I think..


Had Blue Lemon for lunch, I wanted Subway, but it was too crowded AND, I left my Free cookies card at home. Talked to Katherine and Jackie, then Robbie. After that I was at work, doing more boxing and filing for Anita.

Came home, online, slept halfway watching tv + chatting with Li lin. slept for almost three hours.

Then after that, I woke up, reply msgs, then saw this spider on the wall.. x_x
I hate spiders!!!! or any insects/bugs that are large enough to freak me off. I think this is the 4th spider I killed in the recent times. 2nd largest i would say.

Sigh.... I am really worried abt those bugs... its like. If i were asleep, and they come to me... I wouldnt have a fucking clue! I prefer a fierce gruesome wildboar > poisonous eewy spider.

Anyways, started sorting bits of my papers here and there. Have to start planning what books I wanna take home and how important are they. Maybe I ll give away some and leave some here to sell. Now I got like three priorities I think:
1) Find job
2) Sort/settle stuff here
3) Pack

2 - includes AIESEC
which is what i m going to start after blogging, I need to organise docs/infos for Aleks!

=)

I like to put photos, but I dont have a camera now... mine is broken!

Might want to buy one before i go home ;P

Another day Goes by..

i m worried..

Played, edited and deleted FM2008. Its really fun, fast and smooth, but I just lost the feeling of playing games...

Just came back frm a walked to Woolworths... came home empty handed.. lol

I am 1/2 way through my 24 s3.

I cooked rice today, amount which is enough for 4 meals.. .. I am lazy , but efficient :D

Liverpool won! YAY!!!!

that's all for now.. still waiting for exams to be over so i can start doing that PPP thing...
