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...

just finished dinner

today's menu : baked potatoes

i think i oiled and buttered my potatoes and put them in oven for 30mins+

for the dressing
i used: capsicum, 1/2 carrot, a bit of lettuce, few slices of cucumber, chilli, tomato and onion
slice and dice them into pieces and put into a bowl..

i mix it with some mayo, some tomato and lots of black pepper!

then, i tear some meat into it .. ham silverside and turkey :D

heheh really full! ... shd make for 3 potatoes.. or less..

x_x

hmmm rice!

hmm i've been making sandwich since sis left i think... which is really good. cos' i like it. its easy and simple. healthy too... u have vege, grain + meat... :D

i love sandwich! but of course, i think that cooking rice is more of a success, comparing to 'making' a sandwich...
anyways, today, i cooked rice! 2 cupful of rice for today n tmr

then.. what do i do?
i boiled the sausage, scallops and brocoli... for mm 15mins or so (not really good cos' the brocoli is (overboiled)
in the mean time, i baked some potatoes as well as beating two eggs + sliced carrots + soy sauce

after that, i fried some garlic, mixed in the brocolis and scallops + oyster sauce and just turn here n there.. lol
thats my dish #1, brocoli and scallop with oyster sauce

then... i took out the 'sort-of' baked cubes of potatoes and fried it... with bits of onions.

then i pour in the egg mix + sausage, fried a lil and its doneee!!
dish #2: fried potatoes with sausage and egg?

lol.. it turns out okay.. some of the potatoes werent too cook but i m fine :D

happy that i made something... hehehe packing it to uni tmr!

one thing that i dont like about cooking is that.. it took me abt1.5+ hrs to cook.... too long to prepare for a one person meal.. but its fun!

got a lot of potatoes so will be looking for some recipe online ....

thinking abt baked potatoes with some fillings.. ^_^
