苯氨基丙酸

2010-06-09T21:35:00.002+10:00

人家说：“男女之间之所以会产生爱情，完全是因为两个人的生活态度，加上化学作用产生的现象。从科学角度来看，一男一女走在一起，体内的一种激素苯氨基丙酸便会增加分泌，令你情绪高涨，产生一种喜悦的感觉。当浓度不断增加，两人同时受到这种激素的影响，感情便到达最浓，这种状态和关系便可认定为爱情。我知道我现在正被这种苯氨基丙酸深深的影响着，我希望你像我一样。”

这真的是我到现在为止听过最甜，最动听的科学理论！！！

Agree?!

一路走来

2010-06-01T11:35:00.002+10:00

近来想了很多，不管是我愿意的还是不愿意的，我都静静的思考了好多，好久。。。

从小到大，我可谓一路顺风，风平浪静，健健康康，无忧无虑的，就这样长大了。也很谢谢母亲大人对我的信任，甚少插手管我的事，让我有了绝对的，百分百的自由。虽然没有很特别，我自己也没有很清楚的记忆，但我很珍惜我的童年，至少是快乐的，是甜的，是回想起来会让你在心里会心一笑的。。。以前的生活，以前的日子，以前的一切，将会是我脑海里重要的记忆，就算再怎么没有空间，我也不愿意，不会将这些记忆删除。。。有时候会想，假如我出生在一个富有的家庭里，我还会拥有我现在的这一切吗？！虽然不确定，但有一件事我可以很肯定的是，我小时候肯定没有那么的自由，肯定不会造就了现在的我。再加上，假如让我有选择的权利，我依然会选择我现在的家庭，一个小康之家，一个温暖的家，一个窝心的家 =）。。。

小时候的我，是个对自己有着绝对的信心的人，总会为自己订下一个目标，然后就会努力勇往直前，无论是个多么遥远的梦想或目标也好，我也觉得只要是我要的，我一定可以做到。。。UPSR, PMR, SPM 就这样，我渐渐长大了。。。从小学的名列前茅，到进入了精英中学；中三会考，顺利过关，进了我一踏进中学就视为目标的理科班。接下来的两年，也在我的努力下，在中五大会考中考取了好成绩。。。中五毕业，站在被誉为人生的交叉路口，我不知道自己应该选择哪一道道路。当然当时的我也考虑了很多很多的因素，很多很多的未来影响，很多很多的状况。申请了奖学金，名单出的那天，担心紧张害怕，结果没有我的名。失望？！我忘了我当时的感觉，只是觉得：“哦，没有得耶，现在怎样呢？！”后来，大哥帮我上诉，但我本身是没抱太大的希望，因为我不想再次让梦想落空，再加上因为某些我从来没跟任何人说过的原因，当时那一刻的我，至少到了现在我依然可以很确定，我是真的决定了，认真地留下来读中六。但是，我只能说上天总是喜欢作弄凡人，结果是我上诉成功了。这样一个好机会，就算是我下了铁大的决心，我想我的家人，朋友也不会让我继续留在前途茫茫的中六吧？！不确定，但我也好像没有太多的选择，有条这么好的路，我能不走吗？！只怕我不走，也会被人推上。最后，我当然就是踏上了留学的旅途。但是有件事，我也没什么告诉人，其实我很感恩，感谢上天最后还是怜惜着，爱护着我，让我得到了奖学金，让我在18年来（当时的我是18岁），第一次感受到什么是梦想成真的感觉，真的很美妙。或许是从那时开始的吧，觉得冥冥中自有安排。就好像我想要的时候，他不给我。当我决定了该怎么做时，他又给了我之前要的。

在出国留学前，在 Intec & Akasia 的日子是我中学后，人生日记里最开心，最七彩缤纷，最灿烂的一页。无可否认，中学班上的一班死党好友，加上管乐队一班曾经努力打拼的，甚至是现在我们也是那么要好的兄弟姐妹，让我中学生涯无与伦比，此生无憾。真的好开心在我的人生中有着一班那么不平凡的人，让我有着不平凡的体验。

就这样，我来到了澳洲。犹记得，刚到这里的我，人生地不熟，又没跟大家住得很靠近，经历了一些奇奇怪怪的事，心惊胆战的也有，伤心难过的也有。但后来，慢慢慢慢的习惯了，也没什么了。再后来就是我每逢假期就到处游山玩水，开开心心的。再来就是我开始打工，认识了一些新朋友，学了很多新的知识，渐渐渐渐的就喜欢上那里，觉得在那边上班很开心。

但是人总是要长大的吧。。。长大了就要面对很多小时候从来没有面对过，没有想过，没有预料到的问题。这些那么扫兴的东东，我也不想在这里多写，免得大家被我影响就不好啦！但是就像我开头讲的，我想了好多好多，好久好久，应该算是想通了吧，虽然未必是全部，但至少有一部份啊，嘻嘻。。。之前有一阵子真的很压力，感觉喘不过气，可能是我从小到大从没跌倒过，总是那么的优秀（虽然我并不认为自己优秀，但至少以前和我身边的人比较，我是蛮优秀的。），现在突然身在超级优秀的环境里，让我觉得自己什么都不是，自信心也没了，总爱胡思乱想，搞到自己一塌糊涂。突然有一天在打工时，我忽然觉得：“啊，现在的我好像整个人都松了，好轻松，没有任何的压力。”那一刻的我才恍然大悟，原来我一直都，已经好一段日子，长时间活在无形压力的迫压下。在墨尔本里，看来只有这里可以让我不在压力下，轻轻松松的。

现在的我？！无他，回到了从前的我，可能会比较成熟，大概不会再胡思乱想（但是我个人觉得，有时候的胡思乱想也不尽然是坏事，可以想出某些你意想不到的结果）。但是我可以确定的是，此时的我，是恢复自信的我。只要是我想要的，我会努力争取，只要不是伤天害理，不会伤及无辜，我会争取，我一定会，因为我不想将来后悔。

活在当下！！！

人家说：
“人在难过伤心的时候，不妨当自己在放长假，什么都不要想，可以让自己到处走一走，看一看。等自己充完电后再出发。”

开心

2010-04-05T22:12:00.002+10:00

讲了讲了，今天下午终于讲了出口。。。心理舒服了许多，也想通了许多。。。在回家的路途中，脑海里又浮现了一些些的想法。人类就是那么的贪心，每样好的东西都想要，但是那怎么可能呢？！要拿得起当然也要放得下，真的好困难，要真的做到并不是每个人都可以，最起码此时此刻的我还未能做到。。。很不甘心，不甘心自己为什么就是要那样，只要自己觉得值得的，又不是什么不好的事情，为什么不勇敢直前，总是瞻前顾后的？！想了那么多，在想的过程中辛苦痛苦的都是自己，但最后也还是要做决定啊！

现在的我总算恢复了正常的我，所以终于可以不用再让大家担心我了。。。
我想通了！！！

自私？！

2010-04-04T08:31:00.003+10:00

个人觉得我好差劲，我总是把自己放在第一位！如果把家人放第一位的话，如果真的担心他们的话，哪怕能多陪陪他们的时间更多一点就好！！！但是我没有那么做，我没能做到，因为自己太重要了比起照顾家人，我选择了医院，选择了当直升机急救医生。想要磨练自己，说到底还是把自己看得最重要，有时候自己也不知道什么是最重要的，但是明天我依然会上直升机，也许以后也不会变！（Quoted from Aizawa SenSei in Code Blue Season One）

看着这部日剧时，听到了这些话，突然觉得好像是在说着我自己，看到了现在的自己。在大马的朋友总是问我假期什么时候回来，想要聚聚会。。。但我都会说：“噢，今年暑假不回来了。”噢，怎么这样啊？为什么没回来啊？朋友都会这样问我。。。其实自己也不知道为什么，多数的假期我都在打工，希望多赚点钱，可以用来旅行，也可以将一部分存起来。。。但是有时候我真地会停一停下来问问自己，到底现在这一刻的我，变了吗？！还是跟以前的我一样吗？！总是告诉自己不要变成那种贪钱，爱慕虚荣的人，但是我真的好害怕，害怕自己有一天会变成那样的人。。。

觉得自己把学业及未来的事业看得太重了，事业嘛，东家不打打西家，但是又有几个人可以说到做到，更何况现在这样的经济。。。看来我真的是想太多了，是时候停下脚步来，看看周遭，再慢慢清楚地了解我到底想要一个怎样的未来，怎样的生活。。。

伤心`失败

2010-03-27T22:31:00.002+11:00

好久没上来这里了，今天又是郁闷的一天。。。发觉我好像每次闷闷不乐的时候才会来这里，好像这里就是我发发泄的地方。。。开心的事我也好想跟大家分享，可是那时候我就会很懒惰来这里写写。只有在不开心时，有心事时，我才会来这里写写东西。幸好我每次写完后心情也会跟着好起来，不然我也不知该怎么办了。

其实今天也没什么啦，只是自己心里有些事情想不开，明明就已经决定好了的东西，但心里总是有着些些的矛盾，不肯坦然面对。很想找个人来聊天，但是原来我谁都没有，我知道我还有几位真的很挺我的知己，但好像也没什么可以跟他们聊的，因为这些事情，这些决定，最终还是要我自己做。再加上我心里本来就已经有了决定，所以我不想浪费人家的时间来听我吐苦水。有人跟我说，朋友是拿来出卖的。在我自己的心里面，我觉得朋友就是真的被你出卖了，也会觉得你是有苦衷的，不会怪你。听听你诉苦也不会觉得是在浪费时间，而对方也不会觉得不好意思来打扰你。所以今晚的我才觉得我是真的彻彻底底的失败，因为我没有这样的一个朋友。。。

好啦不说啦，今晚就到这里为止。。。

无聊.闷

2009-10-20T01:25:00.003+11:00

近来感觉好郁闷, 不知为什么... 好想有个人可以在我身边, 让我靠, 让我倾诉... 上课也不太能专心... 不行, 就快要考试了, 我得振作...

希望大家都好好的吧... 明年1月14日会回去,希望到时可以跟大家聚一聚... 到时见!!!

Spirit Walk with Glenn Manton

2009-09-04T01:35:00.003+10:00

I went to a motivation talk today evening for our Local Committe Meeting. Instead of saying it was a motivation talk or workshop, I think I would call it a spirit walk. There is this guy called Glenn Manton, a former AFL player of Carlton. He is the one who delivered this event. He started the session quite extraordinary, whthout saying a word, he "asked" people on the chair to sit on the floor and passed the chair to others. We all didn't know why he did that. He then took of his shoes and socks and "demanded" us to follow his act. By using body language, we were asked to find who has the biggest feet. Then he suddenly shouted at one of our members and this is how our special session really getting started. We were given a task. Now that all of us already taken off our shoes, we were only given a pair of shoes with the biggest size. We have to cross from one side of the room to the other side with that shoes on. The rules are people who already wore the shoes can't wear the shoes again, and we have to delivered as many of us to the other side as possible. Time limits of 15 minutes were told and we were informed that grade 6 students did it with only 5 minutes. We started pretty badly, trying to come out with a better way to play this game. However, in the end we failed due to a small mistake.

After the game, Glenn started to guide us to our failure reasons and why children in grade 6 can do better than a group of people who called themselves leaders (refer to us in this case.) It was really rewarding and power with his words. Glenn is so good in delivering the ideas and his thought as well as his story to guide us to be a better "leader".

Music
Children
Lost
Personality
Chance

Music can change people and influenced people.
Think like a children, don't let what you had learned and known to disturb your freedoom of thinking.
People who are nearly or had lost something which is important to them are the one who know how to appreciate things and shall be success.
one must has his own personality, then only one can be truely unique.
Chance are the most important thing in our life. Grab the chance if you see it, people who lost the chance might not have the same chance again. Grab it before you regret.

This is what I gain from Glenn's Spirit Walk. It was really a rewarding and special session. I Love it...

Parents?!

2009-09-01T03:03:00.003+10:00

It had been a while I last updated my blog. Sunday night went to work again and something make me wanted to share with you guys all here.

上班时发生了一件事,大概九点多来了一堆人,正确来说是4个家庭,有着8位父母,11位小孩. 当然,父母们帮孩子们点了些食物... 可是,让我与他都觉得有些感慨的是这些所谓的父母竟然是那么的不舍得对孩子好... 他跟我说,小时后家里并不是什么有钱人家,但是要是有机会出外用餐,他爸妈一定都会点他喜欢吃的让他吃,就算是贵的, 让我也想起了我的儿时回忆. 我爸妈妈也是一样的疼爱我,总会买些我爱吃的,或是会煮我爱吃的给我吃. 例如我爸每次都会帮我把膀蟹的外壳去掉,剩下肥美的蟹肉给我,多么幸福啊!!! 可是这几位父母,只给孩子们点了2-3个普通餐,自己就点了些较好的.当有个小孩想要吃他父母桌上的食物时(p/s:他们是分开坐的), 你知道他妈妈说什么吗? "好,你只需要吃一片就好了,回去吧..." 天啊,我敢说,要是我这样跟我妈要求的话,我很肯定她会二话不说的就喂我吃,然后还会问我吞了没,还要不要. 他说这让他觉得自己小时候真的很幸福,我说我也是这么觉得.

后来还谈起了些他小时候的事,还有他刚到澳洲的一些日子. 一切的一切让他跟自己定下了目标. 但是我跟他说,假如有机会的话,我依然会选择出生在小康之家,因为这样我才会有着美好的儿时回忆,我并不会希望变成很有钱的人,只要够吃够穿就好了... 很开心今晚跟他聊了些话题,觉得他......

好了,重点是要大家要懂得珍惜当下,好好的孝顺父母,不要让自己将来后悔... 因为我们的父母对我们真的是无微不至,关怀备至的.

无聊

2009-06-26T00:31:00.002+10:00

有一段日子都没上来这里了，我想我并不可以用忙碌作为我的借口，因为打少了好多好多的工，有足够的时间来做我应该做的一切。但是我还是白白浪费了那些时间，并没有好好利用来温习课业，导致临时抱佛脚。也没有好好地用来 update 我的 blog 。今天也不知道要写什么，只是想上来这里写写东西。

之前真的是过着有够荒废及堕落颓废的日子，但并不想在这里说来让大家发闷。。。接下来真的不想再这样下去了，必须振作，重新出发。写到好像我发生了什么事，遭遇了什么困难，但是请大家不要误会，我并没有发生什么事，只是觉得这阵子的日子过得太荒唐，太不应该了。。。

接下来我好想读些课外的书来充实自己，突然间好想在最短的时间内赚最多的钱，然后好好让我的父母享福。所以想学些关于投资或是生意的东西，或许会在假期里找些相关书籍或是资料吧。。。

好啦，还有上次去了一趟 Perth and Adelaide，我才知道原来大家都有在留意我的blog，只是没有留言，所以我都不知道有这么多的人来过这里。好啦，就在这里跟大家报告，免得大家心里想知道又不好意思问，目前的我生活过得很好，大家不用担心，感情方面目前依然是单身，也没有特别想要变成 in a relationship 那种 status。就让缘分来主宰一切吧。。。

好咯，今天就写到这里吧。。。下次见，大家要保重哦。。。

LIFE... MONEY?!

2009-04-10T13:25:00.003+10:00

What I really want to achieve in my life? I am not sure about what I want at this moment... Reading some of my friends' blogs, everyone are having their spectacular life, enjoying life and having an aim that they want to achieve, so determined and working hard to reach the target set. On the other hand, what am I doing here all these days?! Working while studying, joining AIESEC, a world-wide student run organisation.Making my daily life full of activities, but I don't really feel that I gain and learned something everyday.

Having a lot of great ideas and dreams in my mind, but then are all of them realisable?! Am I being too ambitious or am I just day-dreaming about something that will never come true?! However, ever since after I got the scholarship from JPA, I really did believe that as long as you dare to dream, then your dream will definitely comes true. Am I being over optimistic?! But I guess this is the only positive side of me, I always think that everything is possible as long as you want to do it, working hard to get it. I used to dream to study in MIT in US one day, studying Engineering in MIT is just as good as studying Law in Harvard University. One day, I shall be the student of MIT, one day, I WILL BE... Back to all those great dreams that rolling in my mind, firstly, I would like to do an exchange program, but after consulting with JPA officers, they won't really allow me to do so due to some reasons that can't really make me understand or satisfy why they don't allow me to do so. I am not sure should I just give up this or keep on negotiating with them. Anyway, I will work on it. Then is about AIESEC. I joined it recently, and being a memebr and try to take some resposibility and some leadership roles. By doing so, I can get the exchange program organised by AIESEC for their members. I planned to do one of the exchange during this year end, is about doing some developing traineeship volunteerly in Egypt. But again I am not sure can I get it or not, I guess I would just have to really work hard on this. The exchange program by AIESEC is totally different with the exchange study program by Uni, exchange by AIESEC is rather about internship, about working overseas to gain more experience while you are studying to ensure that you will be more ready to the workplace after graduate. Of course you can also do the exchange after you get your degree, but I won't really want to wait till that time.

Having a dream of travelling around the globe, making me to take a move in Australia. Last February having some great time in Perth and now I will be heading to Adelaide for 3-4 days during Easter Break ( 14-18 April ). Will be flying to Hobart (Tasmania) to meet my honey (JJ), and also Uncle and Song Keat (both are my socendary schoolmates and also bandmates) hopefully this July after I attend the National Conference of AIESEC.

All those dreams, won't really comes true if you don't have a single Penny... If I don't have money, I can't do the exchange... If I don't have money, I can't go on the National Conference... If I don't have money, I can't get the flight to Tasmania and also don't have thing to spend on that wonderful island...

People said money is not everything, but if you don't have money, you can't do anything. Don't really feel like want to discuss about this topic here and now cause really also, money can't but relationship, family, friendship and etc. I always think that why certain people can be so rich, spending money without caring about the amount that they spent. I used to think that how great would it be if I was born in a super duper rich family, but I guess if I was born in that family, I guess I would not have gain that much of experience and fun that I gain throughout my childhood until this moment. If I were rich, I won't working part-time now, means no gain of new knowledge. If I were rich, I won't know how hard to earn a single cent, and will spend money like water.

Ok la, after so many craps, I guess is time to stop here. Just leave me any comments or thought in your mind. I really need someone to guide me now... To a better future, to a better and the life that I really want...

Thanks and take care, till then... =)

28 Feb 2009 (Saturday)

3 of us will be taking the same flight back to Melbourne from Perth tonight 7.30pm. Sze Kee and Karmun will go sailing with Ju Ann while Rachel and I will go to Cottesloe Beach. We took bus to Canning Bridge station then changed to train to Cottesloe station and walked to the beach. Oh my god, I never expect that the beach is so nice. The sand is so soft and white and the water is perfectly crystal clear. And the most important thing is that the water is extremely chilling and it is really nice to be in this kind of water temperature under the hot weather in Perth. Too bad I don’t have much time, if not I will definitely go and swim in the water. We then went back to city and had a Gelare waffle with ice-cream and I went to London Court again to buy some more souvenirs. After that, we went back to Erica Underwood House and 3 of us took a taxi to Perth Airport and headed back to Melbourne.

At train station...

Pinnaces and Lancelin Trip

2009-03-05T17:31:00.002+11:00

27 Feb 2009 (Friday)
Sze Kee, Karmun and I joined a day tour to Pinnacles and Lancelin. Pinnacles is basically located in somewhere far away from Perth and sort of like in a desert. It was damn hot and we really thought that we were in the desert while we walked in Pinnacles. There are a lot of standing rocks which are all same height amazingly. Due to the hot weather, I didn’t really pay attention to what the tour guide said while he was explaining about the formation of Pinnalcles, so sorry guys, I can’t really tell you guys about its formation. We then went to Lancelin which is also another “desert”. It is all white sand there and the wind was so strong. Going down the 4 wheel drive that we were on to take photos was not fun and enjoyable at all because the wind blew sand into our eyes and we can hardly open our eyes. However, I had to admit that Lancelin is a nice place to visit. We explored Lancelin in a 4 wheel drive. It felt like you were in the roller-coaster, going up high then going straight down, damn cool… Apart from that, we also got a chance to try the famous activity at Lancelin which is sand-boarding. We climbed to a higher point, sat on the board then slide down the “sand-hill”. Cool man, I had never tried this before. All 3 of us did the sand-boarding twice. After the exciting journey at Lancelin, we then headed back to Perth.

Nice view, I like it so much...

Tour guide said is Indian Pacific Ocean if I didn't hear it wrongly...

The Pinnalcles...

Look like a face right?!

What did you observe?!

They are all same in height...

Love those rocks...

From this photo, can you imagine how hot is there?!

Pinnalces from other point of view...

Not bad huh?! Still got energy to jump and take photo...hehe =)

26 Feb 2009 (Thursday)

Today I joined a day tour to Wave Rock. Wave Rock is basically just a rock but this rock is very special and unique as its shape look like wave due to wind corrosion. Along the journey to Wave Rock, we stopped at a place called Dog Cemetery where people can bury their lovely dogs after they die. That place is quite special and I saw quite a few graves which are really show that how good the owners treated their pets. We then moved on and reached Hippo’s Yawn. It is also a rock but then this one looked like the shape of hippo’s mouth opens while yawning, which is how it got its name. Finally after about 4 and a half hour in the coach from city, we arrived at the famous Wave Rock. Our tour guide gave a very detail explanation about the formation of wave rock and helping us to take photos around. After taking quite a number of photos at this extraordinary scene, we headed to another destination. Our next destination is Mulka’s Cave which is a cave where aboriginal people used to live in there long ago. We stopped at a town called Babakin where its population only has 17 people before going back. We had a late afternoon tea there and continued our way back to Perth City.

A visit to Swan Valley

2009-03-05T11:54:00.005+11:00

25 Feb 2009 (Wednesday)

I joined a half day tour to Swan Valley today. The main purpose I wanted to go there was I wanted to buy some wine back for my boss. The vineyard that we visited is Sandalford Winery and most of the wines are come from Margaret River region. The wines are all not bad and in the end I bought a Cabernet Merlot for my boss and another sweet white wine for Ken. We then went to Margaret River Chocolate Factory where we can tried the chocolate for free. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed by the factory as we are only allowed to try only white, milk and dark chocolate over there. All the other nice looking chocolate we can’t try them. Before we went back to Perth City, we paid a visit to Cavershan Wildlife Park, which is a very famous wildlife park in Perth. The wildlife park tour was nice and enjoyable. I managed to touch koalas and wombat and hand-feed kangaroos.

24 Feb 2009 (Tuesday)

Me and Uncle went to the tunnel tour in Fremantle Prison, too bad photos are not allowed to be taken, so you guys all can’t see the inside of the prison. However, the tunnel tour was fun and nice and for your information, Amazing Race had been set one of its road block here in this tunnel before. I am so glad that I joined this tour and I really enjoyed the tour. We then had our lunch at Han’s Café and headed back to have a rest before going for sailing at South Perth with CK couple and Fish couple. Oh my god, I never think that sailing can be that fun and great. I did enjoy much for the sailing and if given a chance, I would like to do that again. After that, 5 of them going to have their dinner at a famous Italian Restaurant over there while I headed back to Curtin University to attend my cousin’s convocation. I was late to the convocation, after a few calls to my cousin, at last my aunty picked up the phone and I managed to get my ticket into the convocation. The ceremony was not bad, I especially like the ending where they had someone to sing and firework at the same time. That was all for today then.

Yeah...going to sail soon...

2nd Day in Perth...

2009-03-04T16:21:00.005+11:00

23 Feb 2009 (Monday)

Since today Perth people already starting their classes, I guessed we will have to explore the City of Swan ourselves. Fish and I decided to go to walk around Perth city then pay a visit to University of Western Australia (UWA) in the evening after Chee Keong (CK) finished his class. Our first stop is Perth Mint. It was a place that mining gold and now still operating some sort of process such as gold refining and others. We saw a gold pour presentation and visited some of the galleries there. We then moved on to Bell Tower. It consists of several large bells which are pulled by people randomly to produce sound. Basically there is nothing much over there. After that, we had our lunch at Hungry Jack’s and discussed something about Oscar Award yesterday night. I felt a bit sad that Angelina Jolie didn’t win the Best Actress, however, I still have not watch The Reader yet, so I can’t really say much. After Lunch, we took a bus to UWA. Then, CK, CK’s girlfriend, uncle, me, Fish and Mei Fern went to Kings Park together to have a great evening there. After back from Kings Park, I asked uncle to take me to walk around Curtin University.

A visit to Fremantle

2009-03-04T00:15:00.005+11:00

22 Feb 2009 (Sunday)

Ang (Uncle) suggested me to go to Fremantle Market today as this market only open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. So me, uncle, Sheng Yu (Fish) and Mei Fern went to Fremantle from Karawara by bus. We took bus no. 100 from Erica to Canning Bridge then change to bus 109 to Fremantle. If I am not mistaken, it took us around 50 minutes to get to there. At Fremantle, we walked around the streets to have a look at the historical buildings and then had our breakfast there. We then visited the market and moved on to take some photos in front of Fremantle Prison. Why didn’t we go into the prison?! Cause we planned to take the tunnel tour with Karmun and Sze Kee after they arrived at Perth on Tuesday. After that, we had our lunch at the famous Fish and Chips shop at Fremantle. I had a seafood tray which consist of prawns, calamari rings, crab stick, some nice salad and of course the fish and chips. It was not bad, but I forgot to take some photos for you guys. The wind was unbelievably strong there, however, I like that much more than heat and sunshine. Next, we went to Round House and also Maritime Museum. We would like to also visit the Submarine there, unfortunately, we did not have much time left. So we just left Fremantle.

Departing to Perth

2009-03-04T00:15:00.001+11:00

21 Feb 2009 (Saturday)

I took a 5.30pm flight to Perth from Melbourne on 21 Feb (Saturday). By the time I reached Perth Airport it was already 7pm Perth time. Since Mei Fern they all are unable to fetch me from the airport I then called my cousin to pick me up and send me to Mei Fern’s place, Erica Underwood House, which is located in Kent Street, Karawara. I am kind of looking forward for this Perth trip as this is my first point of travel after visiting some of the interesting places in Melbourne during last June holidays. Since it was already 8pm when I reached Erica Underwood House, there is nothing much that I can do as all the shops closed around 6pm in Perth. I guess that I would better take a good rest to have a real nice tomorrow to explore Perth.

幸福 Blissful

2月16日（星期一）
今天上班没什么特别的。。。到了晚上大约10点30分，没什么客人了，后档也收拾得七七八八了，Jenny 姐就叫他去 QV 的 Safeway 买些汽水回来。由于今天上班的都是女生（我，Maggie and Gigi）, Jenny 姐就叫他带我去，因为三个女生当中就属我较有力气（或许可以说是我最大只，最肥的那个）。Jenny 姐还说：“跟阿妹一起去吧，两个人去拍拖。。。”天啊，Jenny 姐怎么会说这样的话？！一直在想，会不会是Jenny姐也隐隐约约感受到我好像喜欢他，还是他有跟Jenny姐说起了我呢？！不知道，也懒得想那么多，然后就是和他俩人去QV，之前也和他买过汽水了，可是那时候还有一个 John。今晚就我和他，一路上也和他说了不少的话，又听他讲起了以前他在酒店打工的事，感觉还蛮不错的。

近来的这几天都时不时与他用英语交谈，感觉真的还不赖。。。可能是近来上班多了，与他见面也多了，觉得他好像蛮喜欢站在我身旁，然后与我说话，更时不时地唱起了歌来。（但是据我所知，他这人就是这样的，嘴巴一停下来就会不自在，所以没话讲时他就会唱唱歌，不过庆幸的是他的歌喉并不赖）。自己从来都不会奢望些什么，只希望我与他会是好好的拍档，有事没事就聊聊天的那只朋友就好了。。。

p/s:All the photos will be uploaded soon as I am actually published all these posts just before I am on the flight to Perth. I have got not enough time to wait to upload the photos. Sorry guys, just wait for a while before I can upload the photos for you guys, ok?! Thanks ya...

2月13日（星期五）
今天是情人节前夕，当然也是要上班啦。。。但没关系，因为他也会上班。近来上了那么多班，难免会有点累，就跟他撒撒娇，说：“好累啊，这个你帮我做吧。。。”后来没那么忙的时候，他就跟我说起了他刚刚到澳州时的生活。他说他那时一个星期上两天半的课，星期五及六。那他在阿二靓汤上 full-time，一个星期14个 shifts ，他得上11个 shifts 。结果就是星期一，三，四，日上 lunch and dinner。星期五早上7点就得起身然后准备上课，上到10点多，下午的课就逃掉，来上 lunch 然后 dinner 的班。晚上回到家就11点多差不多12点了，隔天星期六又得7点多起身上课。然后有时候赶 assignments 时，真的是连睡觉的时间都没有。。。他说他曾经辛苦到独自在家哭了起来，也说它其实可以不用那么的辛苦，他打可以打包回香港，但他并没有那么做，并且撑了过去。。。他还说我现在只不过是过了这样的日子一两个星期就顶不顺了，他那时候可是挨了整整一年。。。所以他说，现在无论有多苦的生活他都一定撑得下去，因为他觉得不会有比那一年更难挨的日子了。。。从来没想过他曾经竟然过得那么的苦，虽然知道他并不是什么有钱人家的公子，但看他整身名牌衣物，名牌包包的，一点点的水蒸气热伤就在那“呻吟”一整晚的样子，真的难以置信他会过着那么辛苦的一年。从中让我更加了解他，觉得他并不像我们所看到的他，只要他肯做的，他一定可以做到。然后突然想起了一句名句：“吃的苦中苦，方为人上人”。

在楼上和他一起拍挡，遇见了两个差不多天天都来用餐的帅哥，而且好像总是有着说不完的话的两个帅哥。他就跟我说他好好奇为什么他们两个大男人会有那么多的话讲。我就说或许他们在谈心事啊。。。然后我还多加了一句，可能他们俩是gay 的。。。他马上就说不会啦，因为他曾经听到过他们讲起女朋友这回事，更说他们两个看上去那么的正气，肯定不会是那回事的。后来他还跟我说测试两个男的是不是gay的方法。（一）：告诉对方，他得指甲好像脏了，如他是伸直手指来看的话，那他是正常的男生。如他把手指弯向手掌，转过来看的话，那他就有可能有些gay的基因。因为通常男生是不会这样看的，只有女生才会这样子。。。（二）：告诉对方，他的鞋底脏了，如他是把鞋底往前抬起来看，那他是正常的。如他把脚向后提起，然后头转后看的话，那他也有可能是gay的。觉得这两个方法好像也蛮有它们背后的逻辑，不错！！！今天对他更加了解，也学到了一些课外知识。。。

A Lucky and Happy Day

2009-02-21T13:15:00.001+11:00

2月3日（星期二）
今天过得蛮开心的，觉得自己好幸福及幸运。前几天Jenny 姐问我为什么会选择赖默尔本而不是和朋友们去Perth 时，我就把我是 JPA scholar 的身份告诉了她，这件事之前也只好像只跟 KY and Macro 提起过，在阿二靓汤里应该没有其他的人知道了。Jenny 姐知道后当然后来 Ken 姐也知道了，再后来就连 Ah Wing 也知道了咯。。。之前他们知道我 IELTS 考到7分时，都已经猛地说我厉害了，现在又让他们知道了我这样一个的身份，更不用说他们会有什么样的反应啦。。。其实还蛮伤脑经的，不是说我虚伪，但我真的什么也不是，可能我是真的就那么的一点丁会读书，可我依然觉得会读书并不代表一切。（好像又写了那么多的废话，那些都不是重点啦。。。）重点是，今天晚上的宵夜有龙虾吃!!!因为有只龙虾在我们下班前刚刚“过世”（Ah Wing 用的词），而龙虾又不能冰冻然后再煮给客人的，所以我们就有龙虾当宵夜咯。。。本来不吃宵夜的我今晚就不管了，肥就肥啦。。。今晚有我，Jenny 姐， Ken 姐， Ah Wing， John 还有 John Tlair （据我所知他以前好像是阿二靓汤的经理。。。） John 因为要赶火车打了包宵夜就走人了，剩下我们5个人还有年叔（Jenny界的老公，也就是阿二靓汤的大厨及老板咯）。大伙儿都可说是很熟很熟的阿二靓汤的“老臣子”，唯独我不是。（因为我刚在去年11月才在那上班的啊。。。）但我还是留下来吃了，坐在 Ah Wing 的旁边，慢慢的吃，听听他们的对话，然后也跟他们说说了几句（在这样的状况下若不说话会更不自在。。。）感觉John Tlair 好像对我投以异样的眼光，但他大概认得出我吧，除夕夜他的 booking 电话可是我接的，当他来到我们店里时也是我及 Jenny 姐接待他的，以他曾经是经理的身份没有可能不会认得我的。从他的眼光里我感觉到他或许觉得这个女生好厉害，来了没多久就可以有那么的身份与他们这班“老臣子”一齐用那么丰富的一餐，真不简单。。。就连我自己也觉得怪怪的，但心里还是暗爽了，感觉我好像是以他的女朋友的身份坐在那里的。。。然后就是在还没踏出店门口前，他在楼上换衣，隐隐约约听到他与 Ken 姐说话，又听到我的名字，就等Ken姐下来时问Ken 姐他是不是在说我的坏话啊。原来不是，Ken 姐说他赞我厉女，不然大马政府也不会给我奖学金来到澳洲深造。说真的，还蛮开心的。。。然后就是走在回家的路途中，突然就仰头看一看天空，看见了好多的星星，就想起了我这么大了，就只是有一次在家里的院子里清清楚楚地看出了好大好大及完美的北斗七星，好想再看一次。所以每次走路回家都会看看天空，找一找北斗七星，可还是没看见。但今晚的我实在是太幸运了，没看见北斗七星，但我看见了那一瞬间的流星。这应该是我人生中第二次看见流星吧。。。总之今天一整天都过得好开心。。。

2月1日（星期日）

再来就是农历新年的到来，在墨尔本唐人街就有个习俗，就是每逢农历新年初一后的那个星期日会有摆街。何谓摆街呢？！就是有很多的人在唐人街摆摊子，卖些吃的玩的什么的。虽然那天我也得上班，但早了些出门，走了走一会儿，看见原来墨尔本的东禅寺也在摆摊，更有尊观音菩萨让人们上香，就上前上支香，也在那买了条手链，然后就去上班了。3点下班时与 KY and Macro 去走走了，遇见了 Gloria。大家一起在热热闹闹的唐人街打转，好不开心。当天一整天整条街都可以看到舞狮舞龙，更可以清晰地听到炮竹声。从来没想过在一个那么的外国异乡也可以有着那么热闹的农历新年。跟大伙儿也拍了一些照片.

1月12日至1月23日

好久都没上来写些东东了，让大家久等，真的不好意思。打从一开始放假我就忙着打工，后来1月12日至1月23日参加了我大学为本地Year 12 的学生举办的夏日生活营。当了两个星期的 Physics Tutor, 才真正的感受到原来当一位好的 Tutor 并不是那么的容易，要在上课之前准备好所有的教材及考虑该如何才能够好好地把知识传授于学生们，然后还要想想他们会问些什么问题，准备好答案，真的一点也不简单。所以告诉自己，以后如果不是糟糕透顶绝对不会再说哪位哪位 Tutor 不好，不会教书什么跟什么的。。。跟我两班可爱的学生拍了些照片，他们都是好好的学生，虽然我并不是一个好的导师，但他们依然耐心的呆在班上听我的课，谢谢啦！！！夏日营后，跟学生们拿了电邮，说是要把照片发送给大家，可到了现在都还没发送给他们。为什么呢？！原因是夏日营后，我就更加的忙着上班了，一个星期有14个 shifts, 我上了13 个 shifts。我经理跟我说：“哇，Colin你上的班比我还多！”Macro也用开玩笑的语气说我现在可是阿二靓汤的主力，没了我不行。。。那你说我还有时间吗？就连我自己都跟我老板娘说：“我早上醒来就来这里，晚上回到家就睡，隔天醒来又来这里了。” 连 MSN 都好久没上了，所以跟大家就好像失去了联络，希望大家不会把我给忘了吧！

我讨厌

2008-12-12T00:51:00.002+11:00

我讨厌,我讨厌，我讨厌！！！我讨厌别人说一些关于我但又不是事实的事。。。今天上班一切都还好好的，可到了要下班大家一起吃过宵夜了，当我准备走出店门口时，K 突然问我不等她啊，我就愣了，我为什么要等她啊？！原来是她误以为我是M, 然后K 就说：“哎呀，你又怎么需要等我呢？！我又不是A，当然不用你等啦！” 今天才初次与我见面的P就问：“咦，你跟A拍拖啊？！”我的天啊，我真得不知怎么答了，然后我当然是说：“没有啦。。。”接着回K说：“不要乱讲话啦，会毁了我的清誉的哦。。。”这时候B加入了，他说：“你有什么清誉啊？！”天啊，他的这句话真得让我的心情马上急转如下，本来好好的心情现在真得糟透了。。。他这样说就是他也认定了我跟A是有东西的喽？！心情不好，回到家凉都不冲，只是洗了脸，然后就上网看戏，今晚没什么心情想要睡觉，然后就和两位好友在线上聊起了这件事。。。就因为心情不好，这几天辛辛苦苦减肥的计划又泡汤了，吃了一些巧克力，我的心情真的糟透了。。。

P/S:其实今天傍晚，在开工之前，K谈起了T,然后又说T不但不太会做工，人又长得不帅，真得不知他该怎么办？！然后K问我：“如果T追你的话，你会答应他吗?”我就说不会。。。然后B就说：“哎呀，我追她，她都不睬我。。。”K 就马上问我：“如果B追你的话，你会答应吗？！”我回：“不知道。。。”然后K又问我：“那如果A追你呢？”同样的我说我不知道。。。当时的我脸都不知有几红，我只知道我整个脸及耳朵都发热发烫了。。。可我心里想，B 都没有向我表示他要追我啊，如果有的话，我觉得我回给他一个机会吧。。。

Misery

2008-12-10T02:07:00.003+11:00

This is about what happened during last few weeks of my working time. I hope the story won't make you guys sleepy and boring. And if possible, please give me some advice and comments, thanks a lot. There is this guy, A, told me that when is his birthday and he actually have to work for both lunch and dinner shift on that day and I just happened have to work during dinner shift. So, I decided to make a cheesecake and celebrate with everyone else that night. So, this is how the story begins. Others started to talk, but I don't really care. But then B comes to ask whether that I have a boyfriend or not and what am I thinking about A. I seriously don't know how to answer B, so I said nothing. But B never gives up, B asked me again the same thing some other days, B added that actually he is not helping A to ask me about this. However, one thing that I can't understand is that if B is not helping A to ask me about this, then why B will ask me how I think about A?!

A happened to ask me to go for his convo on 17 Dec in Telstra Dome. After asked by him twice, I agreed to go in the end, and of course A did invite some other colleagues, C and D, to go together. All these days, I had a feeling that B is kind of like like to talk to me and trying to catch my attention. But I think perhaps it is me that think too much as B gives me a feeling that he is kind of like leng lui more to an ordinary girl like me. But I don't know, and I really wish to know why he asked me those Qs last time for twice.

So, tonight A asked me and C to go out to have a meal and have a walk during this coming friday as all 3 of us didn't work that day. I don't know, maybe I think too much again this time, but I felt that A is kind of like using C to ask me out so that it actually not really look like a date, maybe he just doesn't want to scare me off or he is too shy. I don't know. B just happened to know that and asked me why didn't ask him together in a making joke tone. Then I said cause he needs to work on that day so can't ask him to join us. I don't know, neither A nor B has a feeling towars me or not. Cause I really don't think that I am that good to make 2 guys to like me...

And one more thing is that after so long time being alone, I really enjoy to be alone... I am not sure am I ready to start a relationship not to say that this will be my first time, I am scare that I can't manage it well and will ruin it in the end. And I don't really like to hurt anyone, either A or B as they are really nice guys and I don't want to make our working atmosphere to be awkward. I really don't know, but I already agreed to go to A's convo and we are actually going to hanging out this friday, I really hope that that won't make him think something else and all this time I had been thinking too much, he just treated me as a friend. And I had to admit that I am kinda more to B instead of A, so I don't know how, I don't want to hurt anyone and I am not sure about B as well as A towards me.

Thanks a lot for spending your priceless time to read this useless post and really sorry for wasting your time. Hope that you guys can give me some comments, and maybe it is me that too sensitive, just going out to have a meal only, not a big deal right?!

Update

2008-12-02T15:31:00.006+11:00

30 Nov 2008

I have to work tomorrow and tomorrow is actually Karmun's birthday and I just happened to know that A share the same birthday as her. So I decided to make a cheesecake to celebrate with him and all the colleagues since I was too free in the house and had been wanting to make a cheesecake after helping Meliza that day for our house party. So I went to Safeway to buy all the ingrediants needed and then headed back home with Karmun after a tiring but rewardful shopping in Nike Factory Outlet in Smith Street for 40% off storewide sales. I actually bought 3 pairs of sport shoes that day. Will be taking the photos of them soon and upload here for you guys to have a look, hehe... Never been so "pai ka lui" before, 3 pairs of shoes at once and been spending about AUD 300+ in a day for all the things I bought that day. So, me and karmun promised that we won't be spending any $$ from 1st Dec onwards.

We then make the cheesecake in my house and this time Karmun just happened to be the "me" on 23 Nov, help to beat the cream cheese and other ingredients while I am doing some other prepartions. After finishing up everything, we put the cheesecake into the refrigerator for about 4-5 hours before it can be served. We then phoned Emily see if she wants to join us going to Crown or not. So we are all set. We meet Emily in Hungry Jack's beside Melbourne Central then taking trams to Crown. We went to have a look at the decoration of the Cristmas in the Crown Building. The decoration was quite nice but I have to admit that the show is spectacular and great. Then we celebrate Karmun's birthday there sharp at 12 am.

House Party (23 Nov 2008')

2008-12-02T14:48:00.007+11:00

Jaja suggests that we have a house party before everyone going back to their respective home country for holidays. Me and Meliza were the 2 that most agreed with this idea, hehe, cause we like to eat... So that is it. Everyone who join the party has to prepare one dish. Jaja is going to cook Sotong Paprik as I request for that. Then, Aeslina and Azizi are going to prepare chicken rice while Meliza is going to prepare us the dessert which is a strawbeery cheesecake. I was thinking to prepare grilled salmon at first, but then the salmon been quite expensive recently so I change my menu in the last minute. I change to Nestum Prawns. This is my first time to cook this dish so I online search for the recipe. Ed is going to prepare us the salad, while Chris and Shazeez are going to buy pizza and soft drink as they claim that they don't know how to cook.

On 23 Nov, I prepare the prawns by marinated with some soy sauce. It is actually rather an easy dish. I just need to deep-fry the prawns then pan-fry the nestum with a little bit of sugar then add in the prawns to stir fry then it is done. If you like a better taste, according to the recipe , you can add in the 2-3 curry leaves (daun gulai) and fry together with the nestum. I then help Meliza with her cheesecake as I would like to learn how to make a cheesecake. I help her to beat the cream cheese and all the other ingredients together while she is preparing and making the crust part. I didn't know that cheesecake is so easy to make. Below are my Nestum Prawns, Meliza's cheesecake and of course other dishes.

A large BBQ pizza from Nino... Tastes great

Ed's salad...

Jaja's Paprik...

My Nestum Prawns, according to them, this is the best dish of the party. I am so happy as this is the first time I cook this dish....

Meliza's strawberry cheesecake. Looks great and tastes extremely nice...

After the party, we, all the girls which included me, Meliza, Jaja, Aeslina and a friend from next door (sorry, I forgot her name...) went to K-Box for karaoke. This is the first time I karaoke here in Australia... Hehe, here are some of the photos taken. And we actually sing till 3am from 9pm. Hehe, so nice... Sing all the English, Chinese and Malays songs... Cool man!!!

上了几次的班，虽然前几次都还会有写错单，把食物拿错了给其他的客人，但今天（11月15日，星期六）我竟然没有任何的出错，说真得我是蛮开心的。。。接下来我就得学习如何运用汤匙及叉帮客人把食物分了。现在我已经会一些些了，但我需要更加的熟手。今天还看到了Ah Wing 用匙叉帮客人把整条清蒸盲草去骨，好厉害哟，我不知要到什么时候才会有那样的技术。。。很多朋友都问我为什么要打这份工，工钱又不会很高，又要会那么多东西，为什么不去找过另一份啊？！可是我觉得，第一：在这里我真的学会了很多技巧，Jenny 姐，Ken 姐还有 Ah Wing 当然还有其它一起工作的朋友都教会了我很多东西。让我明白原来看似简单的服务生任务，其实一点也不简单，更不用说要当歌会serve 客人的服务生。第二：这里的洋人餐厅大多数都只要洋人服务生，那我们这些“外劳”有这么跟本地人比呢？！再说，若这些工钱没那么高的工作我们不干，还有很多人等着要干啊，有份工打总好过没吧？！再看看这样，等我考完时了，再去找找看McD,KFC or Hungry Jack 那些快餐店要不要请人咯。。。

其实今天的重点不是那些啦，今天上班的时候，大概是晚上9点左右吧，Jenny 姐突然走过来跟我说不知谁了，跟她说楼上51号桌子的客人是我们马来西亚的前任卫生部部长。。。他问我认不认识他，我就会了一句：“我认识他，可他不认识我。”当是脑袋里第一个想到的人就是蔡锐明，后来想想不对啊，蔡锐明应该是前前任了，前任应该是蔡细力才队。过后有机会上楼上帮忙（我通常是顾楼下的），就看一看到底是蔡锐明海市蔡细力，结果是蔡锐明啦。。。果然我的第一感觉是对的。。。他的脸比起以前在电视机里看到他时要圆润了些，果然没官一身轻，生活应该过得不错吧？！真的没想到会在这样的情况下遇见他本人，在异乡的一家餐馆里。。。

今天总算不错，接下来的日子里我得更加加油，谢谢大家给予我的支持。。。

My First Working Experience here

2008-10-29T22:55:00.002+11:00

Hey guys, it had been a while that I didn't show up here to update myself and I just realised that CS is worrying for me (not sure true or not one...), anyway, I choose to believe him... I had been busying for assignments for the last few weeks, each week has got something poped up after I completed something, so in the end I ended up no time... Perhaps I shall say that I am really really bad in time management and controlling myself. No time is not the reason or excuse, if no time, how come I can started watching Bleach from the very first episode till the latest 192 episode in just 2 weeks time?! I even watched till late night then only started doing my homework and assignments... I knew I can't really keep on going like this but then I just can't really control myself... I don't know why, final is coming really soon but then till now I still do not have a little mood to go and prepare for it though I am really bad in every subject I took this semester... Anyway, I really have to work hard for my final already now, don't worry guys, I am sure I can do it...

In this post I would like to tell you guys all about my first day of wroking in a restaurant last Saturday. It was my first time and first day working in Australia. It is a Kun Ming Restaurant, I believe the boss comes from Hong Kong (I didn't ask...). First day, in the afternoon, still alright... The supervisor, Jenny, taught me how to vacuum the restaurant then prepare the table before starting business. Then I was asked to look through the menu and I just look through thinking of nothing one, I can still look at the menu when the customer order so I don't really need to memorise them... But I was proven wrong. When the first customers came in, I was asked to go and tried to get the order, but then they talked too fast, I can't really get what they want to order, somemore they are Aussie, they ordered in English, I need to write in Chinese as the chefs are chinese people... At that moment then only I realised my chinese really became worse already, I can't even write some very very simple words.

Jenny told me a lot of things and I am actually need to remember them all, like this dish A need to be served with this sauce B, not sauce A; then dish B served with sauce A and etc. Then served the rice time need this and that, can't do this and that, MAN, damn lots of thing to remember, why so ma fan one?! but I got no choice but to remeber them, cause I need to work there... It then came to the afternoon rest time before going to start dinner business time on 5pm. I went to upstairs of the restaurant instead of going back in that 2 hours rest time. I can't stand anymore, I felt so depressed and "wei qu"... But then I felt weird also, I am not the "qian jing xiao jie", how come I will feel "wei qu"?! Then I realised that I am really lucky, I don't really got work much last time in Malaysia except working at Apple Garden there. But then the working experince there and here is totally different. There was just a very very simple kopitiam, just like MakMak, and I just need to remember 10++ types of beverages. Here is kinda like more classy restaurant, have to wear apron still ok la, but then need to wear bow-tie somemore. Then the operation all is just like in hotel, lot of rules to follow. I went to the toilet and cried, I don't know why also, my tears just keep on dropping and dropping, can't reallt stopped. Then I told myself, there is nothing in this world that I can't do, I need to stop crying as that won't helps, and stand up and keep working hard.

Then it was dinner time. There are 4 more guys (which I believe also come from Hong Kong) coming to work. One is my other supervisor called Ah Wing, he is quite leng cai. Then the other 3 are waiter called Kai Yuan(Enginnering in RMIT), Michael(Architecture) and K-man(Accounting), which are all leng cai. At first they just standing there talking then I stand the other side. You know la, I am kinda cool person, don't really know how to start to talk to them. Then Kai Yuan came over and started to talk to me, asking am I from Malaysia then about my study in Melbourne. He is really a nice guy, he taught me how to prepare some drinks like Lime Rum Bitter, don't know what Ruski d, then also taught me how to write the order in short form. Working with them making me a bit released, not nervous like in the afternoon(p/s: I was anxious till my hands trembling when I setting up the table in the afternoon and Jenny asked me not to nervous). But then one unfortunate thng happened, I accidentally make a glass of coke fell when I served a customer because I didn't put the coke carefully. I was so scared, thank Godness Jenny not really mad though I can see that her face was kinda BLACK that time. I was thinking maybe she would wonder why I am so crumble and so "cha jing"...

Then in the end here comes 11pm. What it means?! Means that it's time to go back. But then before going back, we, all the workers were served with supper. While eating supper together, Jenny suddenly popped up and gave us TIPS... Oh, I don't know we got the tips that the customers gave one... Not bad, afternoon one I got 3 dollars then dinner time I got 10 dollars, since I am only a freshman I got 10 dollars for the dinner, but the other like Ah Wing and Kai Yuan them got 20 dollars. But then I am satisfied with that rule, I am sure one day I will get paid like them one.

Standing for a total of 10 hours that day, making my legs and whole body quite tired. I went to a nice sleep that time cause kinda tired already... I promised myself I need to do my best in this job, as I think this job is really good compare to work in other restaurant eventhough I have to follow lot of rules and need to remember a lot of thing. So, now I need to work hard on the menu first, I need to know their chinese and english name of each and every ingle dish ( I think there are roughly 100++ dishes in the menu), then the need to learn how to prepare those wine and beer... I believe I can do it, please give me some time and trust, Jenny and everyone... This coming Saturday will be my second day working there, I hope I really can work better, let Jenny believe that I can do it... I really wish that...

Now, I really have to have the determination... I need to study hard for final... I need to work hard in my job... I CAN DO IT...

thanks everyone for listening to me, take care ya, keep in touch...

珍惜当下

今天刚考完了让人心惊胆跳的数学，虽然星期三还有化学，下星期还有德文，但今晚就是没什么心情温习课业。。。干脆就看戏了，看了三集的“一公升的眼泪”，从第一集就落泪到了第三集。。。觉得剧里边的每一句对白都好有意思，也深深体会到了身为父母者的如何地为子女担心及忧虑。。。觉得亚也真的好坚强，甚至开始想了一个问题，要是我在此时此刻被告知有了不治之症，我会有怎样的反应呢？！或许你们会觉得我未免想太多了吧，可是又有谁会知道明天及未来会发生什么事呢？！看了三集的戏，让我真的觉得人真的应该好好珍惜当下，但是又有几多的人知道这道理呢？！知道这道理并不难，而是在于您知道了之后又能不能真的活在当下，珍惜当下，有多少的人可以做到这一点呢？每次想到这样的问题时我总会要自己好好孝顺我的父母，好好地与我的兄弟姐妹家人相处，珍惜我所有的亲戚，当然少不了这么多年来一直在我身边的朋友知己。。。可是我做到了吗？！朋友方面我觉得还好，也不算好啦，因为总是觉得为什么有些朋友就是和谁都可以那么的好而自己本身就是没法子与某些人合得来，应该是我本身的问题吧？！直肠直肚的我，说话难免会得罪了人，所以我得多注意这一点。。。但是更重要的家人，亲朋戚友呢？！我有好好地珍惜他们吗？！我家里本来就是比较的“冷”，就算是我们4兄弟姐妹本身也甚少有什么聊天及谈心事之类的，我心事就属我朋友知道得最多了。或许是从小就非常懂事的结果吧，从小到大就算遇到了什么的难题及烦恼都会尽量自己解决，解决不了就又想办法，真的不到最后紧要关头我真的不会让我妈知道，不会要她或家里人担心。。。我们4个小瓜都好像是同一类的人，结果我们一家人就甚少沟通，但还不至于有代沟啦。。。渐渐的长大后，渐渐的觉得人与人之间的沟通真的很重要，也渐渐的学会了与家人商量某些事情。。。有时候真的很羡慕我一些朋友，可以与爸爸妈妈像朋友一样的谈天说地，说我暗恋谁谁谁啦，喜欢这啦，不喜欢这啦，什么什么的。。。这些都是我不可能会与我爸爸妈妈说的，可能是我自己本身的问题吧，因为从小就没有与父母分享的习惯。。。所以一直都告诉自己，将来要是有了孩子，我一定要好好地与她分享生活中每一天每一件事情。。。

说了一大堆的废话吧？！没什么啦，只是有感而发而已。。。希望大家都可以好好地珍惜当下，好好的享受着你现在的生活吧。。。无论你是身在国外求学者也好，在马来西亚本地大学的也好，请不要抱怨。。。在国外的，不要抱怨这抱怨那了，你可知道又有多少人希望他们是你吗？！你珍惜了可以到国外求学的机会了吗？！尤其是得奖学金的同学们更应该好好地珍惜。。。在本地的朋友们也不要想要是我可以到国外求学哪有多好啊什么之类的。。。你可要知道一个人身在异乡并不是我们没到这之前所想的那么的美好，当然我也知道你们在本地大学也有着一段适应期，可我还是觉得一个人在国外的适应期要来得艰辛。。。并不是要说什么，只不过是想要大家知道，大家都有着不一样的经历，在经历着成长的过程，好好地珍惜你的现在，跟着你想要的生活方式生活吧，不要让自己有机会遗憾。。。虽然我知道要做到这一点并不是那么容易，但请大家努力加油吧，一定要尽最大的努力去争取你想要得，不要轻言放弃。。。

不知要写什么了，就那么多先吧。。。

Update

2008-08-25T23:52:00.002+10:00

Sorry guys, it had been a while I didn't update my blog... New semester had been started for 5 weeks now and I am currently pretty busy with my University life. 2nd Semester is considered to be a bit more challenging than 1st Semester but I found it much interesting. First few weeks I found it quite hard to catch up with my math as math 2 is really a very fast-paced subject, and all those "ridiculous" proofs of Limits Theorems, Mean Value Theorems and whole lot more just make the matter worse. You really should have a look of my notes and you will be understand that why am I curious about how last time Newton and Cauchy can think of all those things to make math 2 students in University of Melbourne suffering and almost suffocated. I am trying my best not to curse them as I knew that if they didn't think of all those things then our life now maybe will be totally different and would most probably not as enjoyable and comfortable. Limits, Differentiation, Integrations and all those Calculus are really very powerful, just that I don't like to prove them only. And now I am quite settled down with math 2, but I still need more time to do more exercises that will make my brain think in Newton and Cauchy way...

German becomes more and more tough and it just make me feel so stress. There are so many grammar rules and I just have not enough time to learn and get them correctly in my memory. Perhaps is because of the lecturer. My 1st semester lecturer, Mdm. Dorit already transferred to La Trobe University and now I have Katrin Titz. I am not saying that she is not good, but she just not as good as Dorit in making us memorise the grammar rules. Dorit will always repeat the same thing again and again week after week we had leanrt somethng new, but Katrin wouldn't. that's the difference. And perhaps is because of Katrin speaks only German, she hardly speaks English eventhough she is explaining something to us. That really making me hard to understand what she actually trying to explain to us. But week after week, I think I am beginning to catch up also. Just that I shall really need to go and read the text on the grammar and the preposition that really confusing to make my German better. Can you imagine that one preposition, you got 2-3 different case to consider? And some prepositions are only used in one case, some can be in 2 case but used with one verb that is same meaning but got 2 different spelling. So you actually have to know when to use this case and the correct spelling of that verb for that case. That is so so so so confusing. But I think I can deal with that. Just wondering shall I take Intermediate German next year... hmm...

Next will be my chemistry. Chemistry is always the nice one, so far so good. I have Professor O'Hair and Professor Schiesser for my Organic Chemistry. Both of them are very nice, humor and funny Organic Chemists. I really enjoy their lectures but I still need to work out when will the substitution reaction take place instead of elimination reaction, few things to be confirmed then I will be fine. Now having Physical Chemistry lectures with Professor Ashok, which is a quite nice India lecturer. Just one thing to mention here for Chemistry... I actually met with a Nobel Prize Winner, Professor Peter C. Doherty last week in his talk about viruses and killing bacteria. He is the first Nobel Prize Winner that I met in my life so far, I guess maybe I will have chances to meet with others in future... You probably would never think that a Nobel Prize Winner would be that nice and humor guy. He is really good in explaining and I was quite surprised that I can actually understand what he is talking about. As like my friend told me, he knew who we are, our standard so he didn't use those type of sophisticated words only, perhaps she is correct. Anyway, just a bit of disappointment as I didn't take my camera so I didn't get a chance to take a photo with him. But I will try to find his photo then post it here to let you guys to have a look then. My first meet with a Nobel Prize Winner in Melbourne University, great...

Last but not least, in fact should be the best one so far, it's my Engineering System Design. We had been told will be studying about digital logic circuits thing this semester. I was quite worry as those digital things, I don't know them and they don't know me either. I think I would be suffering and that would be quite tough for me. However, it turns out that it is not. In fact, digital circuit been really interesting for me. Perhaps we just study about some really basic one, not till the tough part yet. But I did enjoy playing with Boolean Variables which are 1 and 0. In this world, we have only 1 and 0. We will have to play with AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND and XOR gates to implement a digital circuit, to create a (7,4) Hamming code to detect the error in the information transmits through digital system then correct the error in order to get the correct code words that are meant to send to us. Sounds interesting right? Really looking forward to workshop 4 to test our digital circuit. Then after that we will be moving into Static and Dynamic thing which is more to Civil thing. I think we will need to build a bridge then...

I think that is all for semester 2 so far... Been the 5th week now, almost half the semester been gone, time really flies... I hope I can do better this semester, I know I can achieve that...

Till then, see ya MY BELOVED FRIENDS

*p/s: Just to make a note here, Airasia already got direct flight to Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur. But I didn't book the ticket as I am not going back this summer. I also want to meet up with you guys but I just simply can't... SORRY

Phillip Island

2008-07-21T14:58:00.004+10:00

20 July 2008 (Sunday)
Today I will be going to Phillip Island. The tour wil be departing on 1.10pm and we will be watching the Penguin Parade after the sunset... I am quite looking forward for the little Penguins ever since I was in Malaysia last time. During the 3 days tour, we got to see the little penguins at Loch Ard Gorge but then due to the distance and there is no proper light, we actually just got to see some little black things move in a line towards the bush. Today I will have the chance to see them closely.

on our way there, we stop at Warrook Cattle Farm to have a high tea and got to see some wildlife there as well. We then head straight to the Phillip Island. Having a look around Summerland Beach where the little penguins will be on shore, we then go to the Visitor Centre. I knew a lot more about penguins especially this cute little species...

It is now time for the Penguin Parade, we sit beside the beach just to wait for the little penguins to go back their home. Somewhile after 6pm, the penguins started to walk on the shore. it is so nic eand cute to see them walking in a line and heading to their burrows. Left right, Left right, follow me going back... You will really need to come here to have a look by yourself.

I did took some photos there but then a bit blur. I knew that I am not allowed to take the photos as this might hurt the little penguins but then I didn't on the flash and it won't really hurt them. The photos are priceless though a bit not clear. The trip is just usual but for me everything also must have a try or have a look. At least I got to see the real face of those little priceless penguins...

Steam Train

2008-07-21T14:40:00.006+10:00

17 July 2008 (Thursday)
I am going to Dandenong Ranges and for the Puffing Billy Steam Train today. I was always wanted to sit on the steam train and now my dream has actually comes true. Sitting on the Melbourne oldest operating Steam Train was excellent though there was not much thing to look at during the ride as the ride is just going through a forest. But I did enjoy that and this is my first ever to sit on a steam train.

We then got to Fergusson Winery to have our lunch and of course have some free wine tasting. next we are heading to Healesville Sanctuary where I got to see lots of traditional Australia wildlife such as Kangaroos, Koalas, Emus, all sorts of birds, Echidna (刺猬), Platypus (鸭嘴兽), wombat, dingo, wallabies, reptiles and many more.

This day tour is not bad and I join this tour is mainly for the Puffing Billy only, hehe...

My first Paintball

2008-07-21T14:15:00.004+10:00

12 July 2008 (Saturday)
After a rewardful and memorable 3 days tour back from Grampians, I will be going to Oakleigh to play paintball with sze kee and her friends. We meet at Melbourne Central on 9am then take a train towards Boxhill. We then get of at Heathervale and meet with her friends and take a metro bus to Oakleigh together. after about an hour ride in the bus, at last we reach the place. But then I am a bit disappointed as the fields are actually indoor but I expect it to be outdoor one, too bad, but then what to do I already paid and reached here, I have to play as well...

After waiting for about more 45 minutes (as we need 25 people in order to start a game, so we have to wait for other people to come and join our group), at last we can start our game. Firstly, we go and get our cloth and equipment. After changing and putting on all the "accesories", we are ready now. Having the workers there to explain to us the rules and the safety precautions, we then finally get started. Wah, it is so exciting and fun. Owh, so PAIN... I got shot, really very pain just like Zen Yang and CK told me before. Don't care already, I am here to play, die jiu die... Argh, "chong ar..."

After that, we got a half time break and all in all we play in 4 different fields. Each fields has its own difficulties and need certain strategies to win the game. Paintball is fun to play but then really pain la. You may have a look of the result after playing... Anyway, everything also got its first time and I enjoy my first Paintball experience though I got some "hei qing" as expected...People waiting for their turn

Field 1
Me with the bullets
I am ready for the war!!!
In the end this is what I get...

Grampians National Park n MacKenzie Waterfall

2008-07-15T17:51:00.002+10:00

11^th July 2008 (Friday)

After having breakfast, I go out the dorm to have a walk. There are several of kangaroos around our dorm. I take the pictures of them and then we are departing to Mackenzie Waterfall as yesterday we missed it. Luckily the weather today is clear and nice. We got a chance to walk to the waterfall and having some fun there. Of course photos session would be the most important thing. Next, we go to The Balcony, a place that you can have a look of the Grampians from a high position. Again the wind there can make you flying high… nothing much there just walking around…

Then we head to Buroko and Kye Nett after that. Both are the parts of the National Park in Grampians. We also got a chance to look at the trees after the bush fire. For the Aboriginal, bush fire is good for them and according to Peter, bush fire will occur about every 20 years where the place we visited because of the lightning plus the dry and hot weather there (roughly about 35-40 degree Celsius, even hotter than Malaysia). Since 5 of our groupmates will need to change a bus heading to Adelaide, Peter need to send them to the station in time, so we are lack of some time to walk finish the whole Grampians. But then I didn’t regret anything, as along the trip, we actually got lots of extra thing like the penguins and the whale… After sending off them, they are heading to Adelaide by bus while we are going back to city. Along the way back, I just sleep as I am quite tired.

Peter stopped somewhere for the petrol and there is a small field where people rearing some poultry. We got a chance to see turkeys, sheep, ducks and Llama as well. Then we continue our way back and reached city around 3.30pm. I asked for the email address from him just to send him the photos that Ang and I took with him. Then, Mei Fern, Ming Shiuan and me go to a Chinese Restaurant to have our early dinner while Fish they all going back to College Square to have their dinner as Charlene said she will cook for them.

That is all for my 3 days tour. I really enjoy the trip and thanks Ming Shiuan and Sheng Yu for that. If not that these 2 Sydney people said that they want to go on tour, we won’t actually got a chance to join this tour and have so many fun. Thanks everyone who comes to Melbourne and giving me so many happiness and fun. I miss you guys all so much, take care and see you guys soon, I promise you guys, I will go to Sydney, Perth and Brisbane to visit you guys.

I am flying high...

Enjoying ice-cream on the way back...

12 Apostles

2008-07-15T17:50:00.002+10:00

10^th July 2008 (Thursday)

After waking up and having a refreshing bath, I go to the kitchen and help myself for the breakfast. I then go out to have a walk beside a beach near our dorm with Ang. Again we take some photos and I shall say that everywhere is just so nice to be taken into photos. The beach, the Jetty, the crystal clear water, the waves and many more…

We then leave the dorm and heading to our next destination. That guy sat beside me yesterday asked his brother to sit beside him today and I sit his brother place today… I guess he must be scared of me or too bored sit with me as we didn’t chat anything also for the whole yesterday, sorry ya guy… We then again go to see some nice stones, and if I didn’t remember wrongly, the place we visited is called The London Bridge. It is so nice and wonderful. Next, we go to a whale park to see whale. Again Peter told us that it depends on our luck whether we will get a chance to see the whale coming up to breath or not. “There, there, there, you see it?!”… No, I see nothing… Too bad, Ming Shiuan and Ang saw that, but me and some others didn’t see anything at all… Then it started to sizzling, Peter said we shall wait for another 10 minutes as usually whales will come up to the surface of water for breathing after a couples of 10 minutes. So, we waited in the little rain. Suddenly I saw something black moving on the surface of water far far in the end there, it just like what Ming Shiuan told me what she saw just now. I asked them, is that the whale?! Is that it?! Then the whale started to show more and more of itself, the mouth, the eye then the face, I saw it, I SAW IT NOW!!! I can’t believe it… This is still nothing comparing to what coming up next. “Teng Teng Teng…”, here comes the most exciting part and the most luckiest time in my life (I think for all the people there waiting for the whale would feel the same thing.) The whale likes know that lots of people are looking at it, it turns… You got me?! IT TURNS!!! Showing off its LOVELY TAIL!!! Really really unbelievable that I got the chance to see this… All of us also said that we are really lucky during this tour. We saw penguins yesterday night and now I saw the whale with its tail up, really and exactly like the one we used to see in cartoon (I mean the whale’s tail… It is damn nice and great…)

Then we drive to Tower Hill which is a result of volcanoes activity. Not much thing there but again the luck is with us, we got to see kangaroos, wallabies and emu (those typical wildlife in Australia). Next, we go to Port Fairy for our lunch. The fish and chip there was kind of terrible, I admit that the fish is fresh but then I don’t know how to fry the fillet until it is too too too oily already. Too bad I forgot to take a photo of it, if not you also won’t believe that fish and chip could be that oily, I really can’t imagine that.

After the lunch, we are heading to Mackenzie Waterfall. But seems like the luck is no longer with us anymore, it started to rain by the time we get on the bus and driving towards the waterfall… But then it is quite good for me, as it is raining outside, there is nothing I can see through the window so I can have a nice sleep to rest myself. Since there is a rain when we get to Mackenzie Waterfall, we can’t climb up the hill to the waterfall, so we just walk around the Cultural Centre there and I actually got to know the name of the traditional musical instrument of the Aboriginal which I used to see it in Melbourne city but didn’t know its name. the name is kind of interesting, it is called Didgeridoo and me and Ang did listen to some of the music recorded in the albums there by using Didgeridoo. Some are rock one and quite modern music as well, I never think that Didgeridoo could produce those kind of music. The most interesting thing is that you can actually use Didgeridoo to make a tone of “didgeridoo”, you got what I am trying to say? I guess only Ang will know that… “didgeridoo˜ … didgeridoo ˜ …”

Then what is coming up?! Nothing more lor, going to a dorm near there to overnight. Haha, we are going to have some bbq tonight, sound not bad… Actually is frying the sausages, burgers and making some salads and that is our dinner, hehe… Me, Fish and Ang stay in the same dorm while Shirin, Sook May, Ming Shiuan, Mei Fern, Rachel and Yee Che in another dorm. So 3 of us playing “cho dai di” in our place after dinner while the other groupmates in our dorm are watching movie. Then that guy sitting beside me on the first day one comes to us and asks us whether we know how to play Pocker or not. We didn’t know, so he teaches us how to play Pocker. We then teach him how to play “cho dai di” , we tell him that the name of this game is “Big 2”, haha, so funny… he is quite smart and clever, just a while he already know how to play and wins the first game he plays with us… hmm, not bad… not bad… Then we also play Scramble with him, his brother and other groupmates. So nice, then just go to sleep around 12am.

Bells Beach, Great Ocean Road n 12 Apostles

2008-07-15T16:45:00.005+10:00

9^th July 2008 (Wednesday)
After skiing yesterday, we actually will go on a 3 days tour to great Ocean Road and Grampians National Park. We meet at St. Paul Cathedral at Flinders St. around 7am and waiting for our tour guide. Not long after that, 3 girls approaching us and Fish asks them whether they are in the same trip with us. Yes, they are. Then our tour guide, Peter reach and bring us to a mini bus and we still need to go to other pick up point to pick other people. In front of the Flinders St Hotel, there are 3 people coming up to our bus and since not much places left, one of them actually ask that whether the place beside me is available or not. Of course it is available and he sits down and introduces himself. I didn’t know how to spell his name but then he is from Canada, came to Tasmania for an exchange program and now having holidays in Melbourne. The other guy and a girl with him are his brother and his brother’s girl friend. I heard his brother talk to his girl friend in German, I thought he told me that he comes from Canada. So I ask him again whether he is from Canada and whether his brother is speaking in German or not. Sound so stupid right me, hehe… Yes, they are speaking in German and he did know how to speak German, cool man… And he is kinda leng zai, wahaha, I am so lucky to have him sit beside me… But then one thing is that, we didn’t really chat much in the bus, maybe both of us also shy gua, I just sitting in the bus looking out the window for the scenery along the road while he just have some rest in the bus closing his eyes…

We then reach Bells Beach where there are lots of people surfing. The wind is considered cold but it is just like nothing to me anymore after been to Mt. Buller yesterday. After taking some nice pictures, we then have some sandwiches before continuing our journey. It is a long way to Great Ocean Road, and he sleeps and should be a very very deep sleep until he actually lies on me also he didn’t know about that. After quite some while, we finally come to the start of the Great Ocean Road. Again we take photos and having some fun there. Then, we are heading to a Rainforest where there have a lot of Mei Fern family, Fern trees. There is a giant fern tree which is about 6.5m tall, unbelievable right?!

Our next destination should be the greatest among all the places we visited in this 3 days tour--- 12 Apostles. I never knew that the 12 Apostles would be that great, beautiful and nice as I saw in the poster in front of the Tour Shop, it just looks usual. But with my own eyes, I can assure you that the 12 Apostles is amazing and nothing could be better than you been there yourself and having the scenery there REC into your memory forever. We actually have our first experience on Helicopter there. Though it costs each of us 60 bucks but to me it is worthy. We have a better view of all the apostles from helicopter and have tried a helicopter ride. Cool man, I am loving it!!!

It then slowly comes to evening and because of the sky is too cloudy, we can’t see the sunset, too bad. If not it would be great to have a look on sunset beside the beach. But then we did really very lucky. Our tour guide, Peter said that there would be a surprise for us after the sunset. What was it?! What will the surprise be?! We were standing on some places which is high and far from the beach. We were waiting for something, the surprise. It is penguins, yes, we did saw them. Penguins going back to their home in a straight line which people used to called it a Penguin Parade. Since we are quite far from the beach and the penguins are so little, we can’t actually see the “real face” of the penguins but we still can see that they are in a straight line having a nice parade. We are really lucky for that as Peter said the penguins are not always coming on the shore. We did have all the luck after Mt. Buller trip and got to see the cute little penguins, haha…After that, we are heading to a small town, Port Campbell to overnight. Pot Campbell is a really small town, it is just about a round for 1 minutes ride in our bus. After having our dinner, we used Mei Fern’s laptop to transfer our photos into her laptop just in case that our memory card full for the upcoming days as there are really lots of wonderful sceneries for us to take the pictures. Me and Ang actually got to know more about one of our groupmates, Ben whose comes from Germany. I told him that I am now learning German and I know how to speak some basic German. He asks me to speak some and I just stunned there. Why?! Cause I didn’t used my German after my test, it was so long time ago already, God, so paiseh that time, but I still manage to talk 1-2 sentences… He will be going to Malaysia after this trip and he did ask us something about Malaysia. He says that he is so looking forward to go to our country, I hope Malaysia won’t make him disappointed then.

That is all for our first day of the 3 days tour. Tomorrow we will be keep on going and heading to Grampian, the National Park. “Ich bin gespannt auf die Reise”--- I am looking forward for the trip (in German).

Ready for the helicopter ride...
I am in front, beside the pilot...

My First Ski Experience - Mt. Buller (Melbourne)

Can you see where is the end of the mountain?!

8^th July 2008 (Tuesday)

Today we will be going to Mountain Buller for our first ski experience. We which include Sheng Yu (Fish), Zen Yang (Ang), Ming Shiuan, Mei Fern, Shirin and of course me… It was quite a sudden decision for us to be on this snowy trip as we just registered for the tour the day before and now we are waiting for the bus to bring us there… It took us about 3-4 hours for the ride to Mt. Buller from city.

This was my first time to see the snow and it was so amazing that the trees are all covered by white snow… We then went to George Hire Shop to hire our ski equipments which include the ski (the long long thing), ski boots, waterproof jacket and pants. After everyone was ready, we went to a 2 hours ski lesson in a flatter land. It was about some very basic thing on how to ski, such as how to start, how to ski in a faster speed (by bending down your body a bit), how to make a little jump, and lastly the most important one is how to stop or could be said just how to be slowed down (by making a big big V-shaped of your ski). One of our instructors is Mario and all of us were actually felt like laughing out when he introduced himself to us, haha…

Now, we can ski around already. I decided to go up to a higher place and ski down. SIUL ˜ SIUL ˜ ̃…… POM!!! You are right, I ski down and I can’t control my speed properly and I fell down. It was my first fall and having myself sitting on the cold snow. The worst thing is that there is no one to help you up, you have to stand up by yourself, and no one there would ski to you and lending you a hand. Cham hor?! I really never think of that, skating in Sunway also got other skaters or the officers help us… What to do now?! I can’t get up with that long long ski as I can’t bend them so I had to take off the ski then get up slowly slowly. Then just ski down and that was really fun though I fell down. I then went up and ski down at the same place for several times and even helped Mei Fern and one other person who fell down to get up as there is no one willing to give them a hand. I keep on skiing down again and again as I wanted to master the skill of ski then only I can sit the cable car to go up to the top of Mt. Buller and ski down (As Chee Keong said that the mountain is really high and it would be dangerous for us to ski down without proper ski skill).

It was the time, Fish and Ang asked me want to go up already or not. I really wanted to have that experience, so I went and queued for the cable car with them while Ming Shiuan, Mei Fern and Shirin said they will be waiting for us as they didn’t really want to go up. We sat the different cable cars, Fish and Ang were together while I sat with one other Ang Mo girl. She asked me is this my first time to ski here and other things. “Wah, sat on the cable car so long time already, how come it still not yet stop, not yet reaching?!”, whispered my little heart. The worst thing is that during half of the mountain, it started to snow stronger and stronger. The snow hits our face and all my hair became frozen. I really can’t stand it anymore, but I got no choice but just to hope that I will be reaching the top as soon as possible. I really scare and keep on praying in my heart. I don’t wanna die here… I don’t want!!! At last I reached the top and met with Fish and Ang. There are actually different route to get down so we chose the one which we got up one by following the cable car. I didn’t know how to ski down, it was really really high and scaring somemore the snow was so strong until we can’t really see the road in front of us properly… But I don’t want to sit the cable car up then sit the cable car down back. So “bo huat” liao lor, we decided to ski down. Wah, so deep the slope… POM!!! I fell down, never mind, I knew I can do it, I just have to get up and keep on going. Again I reached the hardest part, half mountain. I fell down again, but this time I can’t get up as easy as before as I am exhausted plus the snow is making me a bit of headache. I tried a few times and I still can’t make it, then I asked someone beside me to help me, God, that guy like didn’t heard anything, just ignore me. I then sat in the snow for about 5 minutes to rest myself before trying to stand up back. I think because of too cold already, I didn’t even felt cold anymore though I am sitting on the snow. After that, I tried again to get up and thank God at last I stand up back. I really felt like giving up and I actually saw that there is a half mountain cable car. I really really wanted to walk to there then took the cable car down. However, I don’t want to give up. I wanted to finish this in skiing not by cable car. So, I again take the risk and keep on skiing down. Not far after that, I saw the flatter land that we actually having our ski lesson just now, meaning that I am reaching soon. I am so so so happy that I didn’t give up just now and of course I am reaching the flatter land safely. After reaching, I looked for Fish and Ang as I thought that they were before me. But then actually they were behind me as no long after I reached Ang yelled at me and we then went to have a rest in a small ski school. Then we went to the hire shop to return our equipment tiredly and keep on thinking back then how daring are we to ski down just like that just now. And I really thank God for having us making it through and reached the flat land safely.

That is all for my or should say our first ski experience in Mt. Buller. I was having headache since I was at the half mountain skiing down and until in the bus on our way back. I am glad that I manage to make it and I am so proud of myself.

p/s: we are quite lucky as we registered for the tour time the guide said that there are not snowing yet in Mt. Buller. But then by the time we just reach Mt. Buller, it started to snow, even our ski instructor also told us that we are lucky to have the snow that day… Hooray…

p/s: for more photos please have a look in the photos albums in my facebook.

A nice and happy day

6月30日（星期一）

今天他们就会搬出去了，好舍不得哦。。。早上本来打算下午去看 Prince Caspian 的，下去吃早餐时，Pun , Ya Lin and Melvin 说今晚要出去吃一餐好的，就当是饯行吧，问我要不要一起去。。。我当然要去啦，所以就答应了。。。还打算下午看完戏然后去和大伙儿吃晚餐时间刚刚好的，哪知自己迟了出门，不想迟进场，最后戏就看不成了，就到处逛逛咯。。。

大约7点左右，就去到了大家约好的餐厅与大家会合。。。进到去，看见了 Pun, William, Ya Lin, Melvin and Edward。。。这里当中就我与 Edward (Ed) 没搬。William 会暂时搬去一个不知叫什么的地方，Pun and Ya Lin 就分别暂时住在各自朋友的家，因为他们三人都必须等他们tesis的成绩。。。而Melvin就会搭明天下午3点的飞机回马来西亚。。。今天的晚餐就在 Swanston Street 的 Mekong吃，是间越南餐馆，还不错。。。吃着的当儿当然会聊起天啊，聊着聊着，就聊起了每年都在涨的学费，最后很自然的就会聊起我不用担心学费的问题这个话题喽。。。Ed 还问我在 SPM 得了几个 A，我都不好意思讲呢。。。当然每次有人说我是什么什么好学生啊，那么的厉害啊，得了奖学金啊，什么什么的，我的答案都是一样的。。。I am lucky only。不是说我虚伪，而是我自己本身真的觉得没有了那么一点点的运气，我真的没有可能会有今天。。。全大马比我聪明，比我厉害，比我有才华的人才比比皆是，我能够得到奖学金真的是非常非常的幸运，而 Pun 就蛮支持我这个 point 的。。。

吃过了晚饭，就大家一起走路回家。。。在这住了一个学期，渐渐的与大家越来越熟了，路途中也都有说有笑， Pun and Melvin 还一直叫我不应该在 winter 时 on diet。。。可是我真的胖了很多了，再不减肥真的后果不堪设想。。。回到家，大家还真的依依不舍，坐在厨房里继续聊天。。。 Ya Lin 在等她的朋友来载她去她家，而 Pun 当然是等 Ya Lin 走了才自己去他朋友家啦。。。在等的当儿，当然是拍照留念啦，有着我们家后面那漂亮的古老教堂当背景，真得很不错。。。等 Ya Lin 姐走后，Pun and William 就两人一起去搭 train。。。而 Melvin 就会在这里多过一夜，明天早上才从这里去 International Airport。。。

今天真得很开心，虽然很舍不得他们搬走，但天下无不散之宴席，至少我们有着美好的最后一餐及这整个学期愉快的相处。。。就好像 Pun, William and Melvin 都说过的， “I think this semester is the best!” 希望大家都会有着美好的将来吧。。。 Hey guys, I wish you guys all the best. Friends forever and keep in touch!!!

p/s: Thanks you guys so much for giving me lots of help, advice and wonderful memories during this semester. And the most important thing is that you guys had made my very first semester here very memorable and unforgettable!!! Thank you so much. I am going to miss you guys all so so so much…

Ya Lin and me!

Edward and me

Ya Lin and Pun

William, Melvin and Ya Lin
(Sorry, kinda blurry...)

Melvin and me

All of us except Pun!!!

恢复平静

2008-06-26T15:35:00.000+10:00

6月25日（星期三）

昨天和Sze Kee 出去找工作，然后买了些东西就回家了。。。前几天都在她们家过夜，回到自己的家感觉真好，并不是说她们的家不好，只是自己的家比较自然及习惯了吧。。。然后就煮晚餐咯，还和 Melvin and Kyung 聊了几句。。。过后Edward 也下来厨房了，他跟我说他去 check 过 TPG 的 website 了，ADSL也有 up to 8Mbps 的 plan，我不一定要等那 ADSL 2+，只是想通知我一声。。。哎，这我之前 check and apply 时早就知道了，但我真的没想到他会去 check 然后告诉我。。。或许他觉得我今天没得上网都是拜他所赐的吧，所以就帮我看一看有什么 plan 适合我喽。。。不过，说真的，我之前遇到了这么多的事情时，我的确觉得假如他没有不要和我们 share 的话，可能就什么事都没了。。。不过，我并没有怪他，怪只怪我自己。。。再说，我也从近来的事件中学到了许多东西，许多宝贵的经验，更重要的是我知道我身边有着一班永远都对我那么好那么支持我的好友。。。还真的蛮意外的，但无论如何我都要谢谢他，谢谢他的一番心意，帮我 check ，而且我还从他那过了蛮多的戏来看，之前有些不懂的事情也请教了他，这次就一次过谢他吧。。。 Thank you, Edward, though I knew you would never know that I had been thanking you here…

今天还是没收到我近来一直在等的那封信，（在此声明，并不是什么情信，是一封对我来说很重要的信，要是我一天没收到那封信，我一天都不会心安的。。。）看了几集的“原来爱上贼”，冲了个凉，就出街去了。。。去了 State Library check mails， check 了那个部门的 address，还误打误撞下找到了该怎么去一个我想要去的地方，本来我是想去问 Visitor Booth 的，现在不用啦，真开心。。。然后就是去那个部门，问一问他们为什么我还没收到我应该收到的那封信。。。帮我 check 了，原来他们今天才寄了出去，所以我大概明天或过几天应该就会收到了。。。谢天谢地，终于确定了他们把信寄了出去，而我也应该会在近日收到，心头大石马上就放了下来。。。过后就去找我要买的 Modem and Router。。。后来还走到了 Direct Factory Outlet (DFO), 上次去时都没走完，今天走到了就去走走喽。。。哇，每间店都在大减价，但减了还是满贵的，当然啦那边卖的都是名牌货啊。。。但我在 Fila那，买了一双鞋，原价 AUD 120, 现在 AUD 30。。。过后当然是开开心心的带着战利品回家了咯。。。

经过了之前的那些事情后，我成长了许多，近来做每一件事情前我都会三思，以免有任何的失误，我不想再因为我的冲动及辱莽行事而闯祸。。。现在，生活总算渐渐恢复平静。。。只要我收到那封信，事情也就解决了。。。至于之前我在准备期考时的一切胡思乱想，很奇怪的，现在我有很多时间时我却不想去想了，而且觉得之前我怎么那么傻，想着那些有的无的，还好没什么影响到我的期考，期考还算顺利。。。

真的谢谢大家对我的关心及支持，现在我真的没事了，心里平静了，问题解决了，生活也可以说渐渐上了轨道。。。雨天过后总该是天晴的时候了吧。。。赠大家一句我看 TVB Drama 得来的名言：“不要因为失去而哭，要因为曾经拥有而笑”。放心吧，我一定会好好过着我璀璨的每一天。。。（好像有点离题了，嘻，不管）

My Math Lecturer, Paul Norbury

2008-06-22T18:02:00.004+10:00

Guess what?! We went to Vic Market yesterday and accidentally bumped into our cute (kawaii), adorable, smart math lecturer, Ah Paul... And I actually became a temporary papparazi, and get some photos of him... Though he is not doing math at the moment, he still looks like doing math in his head in market... Have a look...

He was picking some small potatoes...

Really can't believe that was him and we actually met him in Vic Market... He is extremely good in doing math in head no matter is decimals, fractions, powers or even log... Really really very geng and yeng one lor...

Transforming

2008-06-16T12:22:00.001+10:00

今天（6月14日）从 Karmun and Sze Kee 那回到家后，冲了个凉及洗了我那越脱越少的头发，就去温习了我的 German 。。。忽然，我觉得为什么近来我的日子好像都过得很堕落，很糊涂？！总是告诉自己今天过后就要努力，不可以再堕落了。。。可是明日真的是何其多啊？！我总是一天一天的纵容着自己，暴食暴饮，浪费时间，又没有超级，很认真地去准备我的考试。。。

不可以了，我再也不可以这样子下去了。。。在这个样子下去的话，我恐怕不用多久就连我自己也都认不得我自己了，并不是说我会胖到变成另外一个样子，而是内心最真实的自我就快要消失得无影无踪了。。。常听人家说，人总是会在某个时候迷失自我，难道是真的？！现在觉得我真的真的差不多迷失了大约80%的自我了，若我还没能及时在我这个恶梦中醒来的话，那我就将永远待在那梦境，回不到现实了。。。 cs 常常告诉我说，不要整天要自己从新开始，重要的是自己的日子过得开心就好了。。。可是cs，我想告诉你，我真的不知道现在的我还可以做些什么了。。。除了从新开始，我还能这么做呢？！

好了，这次是真的了。。我真的真的下定决心了，不可以再糊糊涂涂的过日子了。。。不然的话我真的愧对大家了，因为你们是如此的关心我及对我那么的好，我又怎么可以这样对我自己呢？！更重要的是，我在这里的开销，你们的父母大概都有份出的吧，我绝对不可以让纳税人的金钱白白的浪费在我身上的。。。从这一刻开始，我要努力生活，上进。。。就这么说定了，我一定可以做到的，敬请大家拭目以待吧，我绝对不会再让大家失望的了。。。

p/s: When the time I wrote this, it was the time (Malaysia time) that my school band was competing their Penang State Formation Competition. I wish them all the best and hope that they manage to make us proud again by getting our 5th victory, even if they failed to make it, I knew they already did their best… Later when I got the result will add in here, haha… Kinda excited and anxious for them though I can’t do much but at least I can yell the cheer far from here, JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!!

Wahahahahaha, I guess Jit Sin really Pak Beh Toh huh?! Again they make us proud... Cheers, they are going to the National Formation Competition again… Congratulates to JSPO for bringing back the pride (5 victories in a row, it ain’t easy to maintain that…) and also congrats to the drummajor, I guess he must be looking cool, handsome and skillful enough when playing the maise to be the best drummajor huh, our (cute n little, before I graduated and left JSPO as an ex-JSPO member la) drummajor from tuba part one, hehe… Add lots more oil ya JSPO in the National State Competition coming up next though I knew the price of the oil had been elevated, haha… Gambateh and good luck, JSPO, The Mask of Zorro, My Hero…

I don't know anything anymore

2008-06-13T12:20:00.000+10:00

12^th June 2008, Wednesday

I don’t know anything anymore (quoted from Maricruz, Sucre’s girlfriend in Prison Break Drama Series)… Why?! Why?! Can someone please tell me why?! Why I have to face such problems all these days?! After all and all, after Telstra had completed their job and my home phone line is now finally connected successfully, then I just need to apply to TPG and then I can online already… But why?! But why now only TPG ADSL 2+ ports are all full?! And now I can’t apply to ADSL 2+, what I can do is either wait till maybe end of July and maybe, listen and read carefully, is only MAYBE will got ADSL 2+ ports that time then only I can apply to that… But what if I wait till that time and still got no ADSL 2+ port for me?! Then I will just been wasting my whole July waiting for nothing then go and apply for ADSL?! But the speed is that much different, if not I would just have to apply for ADSL now… One is 1.5Mkps while ADSL 2+ has got speed up to 10Mbps… See the difference?! Why?! Why?! All I want to know is just why?! Why is it happened to me?! Is there any reason for what I had been going through all these days?! Ever since from like that Edward informed me that he would like to stop to share the internet with us, then I started my “lucky, happy” journey… I am not blaming on him or anyone, but I really would like to know why… At least let me know why I need to face all these things… Maybe you would say that is a test from God… Tell you what, I used to tell myself like that, so that I have got the strength to keep on going and never give up… But I started to doubt now, why HE suddenly wants to test me?! Why HE wants to put all those unhappy things and problems to me all at a time?! I don’t know anything anymore, I really don’t know anything anymore… Maybe you will say that we as a human being should not doubt about what HE wants to do to us as HE is Almighty, for everything HE did, sure got HIS reasons… What we should do is just face the problems…

“You just have to have faith” (quoted from Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield from Prison Break Season 1)… Yea right, maybe I just have to have faith… But again, I doubt… Is there still something happy and nice for me?! I know life is not easy especially I am now study abroad alone… You know what, when the time before I actually flew to here, I am so eager, so wanted to fly to here as soon as possible… Me or perhaps should say we used to always complaining about this and that in Malaysia… But when the time you get to other people countries, that’s the time you actually realize that how good Malaysia is… How we actually enjoying our life there… Maybe this is because we were born and grew up there, we used to the lifestyle there already… But that’s true, you will eventually and actually started to appreciate the things that you used to have and enjoy last time in Malaysia, that’s for 100% sure and true… The only thing that I used to persuade myself to be strong, tough and stand to face all those problems is that… I told myself, all these are the tests form HIM, I just need to face them bravely and everything will be over eventually and also I used to tell myself that maybe I just haven’t used to the lifestyle here yet, this is the transition period for me… I just need to be tough… But are all these too harsh to a little 19 years old girl like me?! Maybe I shouldn’t have said little huh?! 19 years old, not young or little amymore… Or perhaps the life that I had before I got here is too enjoying and too good for me?! Now is the time to train myself to be a better person, a tough, strong girl that would prepare me to the REAL WORLD, the reality, and also my future career as an engineer… People used to say that engineers need to have problem solving skills as we (in the future) need to solve tones of problems facing by the global in order to let the mankind to have a better tomorrow and live sustainability… But just want to let you all know, “My dear friends, you have no ideas of what I had been through” (quoted from Terrace Steadman, the Vice-President’s brother, in Prison Break Season 1)… However, no worries guys, I won’t be beaten down by all those problems… I WON’T, NEVER EVER!!!

Nothing much to say anymore, just want to let you all know that I can’t get to online again for maybe the whole July, but will try to go to Library as frequently as I can to online and to stay in contact with you guys all… Take care and good luck guys… You just have to have faith… We just have to have faith… Miss ya…

A Happy Day

2008-06-13T12:19:00.000+10:00

After some bad days recently, today would probably be the best day for me… Before I went out to Uni this morning, I went to kitchen to have my late breakfast and I actually bumped into him… He was preparing his lunch before going out… Before I left the kitchen, I said: “See you!” and of course he would reply with the same phase as well, but indeed he added something “Have a nice day!” Haha, I would never expect that a “Have a nice day” from him would actually be able to make me that happy, on the way to my Uni, I actually walking with a smile on my face… I did really need to have a nice day and some good wishes after all and all…

Phew, after staying at Uni for the whole afternoon and done some of the online tutorials on Chemistry and completed applying my TFN (Tax File Number) and Working Permit, I walked back home, hoping that nothing bad is going to happen to me, I just wish to reach my home safely… Freezingly cool, men… I didn’t see him during my dinner, thinking that he might not be home yet… Not bad, my guess was correct, after some while he was back and me actually in my room that time… After bathing and washing my lovely hair, I went down to fill my water… Guess what?! I met Melvin, Kyung and him… Kyung was trying to read the Chinese Newspapers that brought back by Melvin and of course I did help to translate… He was also there to learn… At last I got to know something more about him, he actually knew some Chinese as he did study Chinese until Primary School level… And later on Edward is down as well, and the most unpredictable thing happened… Edward actually was an independent high school student, I just got to know it… I mean I knew he can read Chinese and knew Chinese but never expect that he was from Independent High School… And he is from Seremban one, just in one night, I actually got to know more about my housemates and Kyung’s (Korean guy) Chinese is not bad at all…

And then they all left and going back to their respective rooms leaving me and him as he is waiting for his laundry… We did chat kinda lot… He asked me I am from Penang one is it, whether I will be going back to Malaysia or not this year, how I got back to Penang from Melbourne, will I have an exam for this semester, am I taking 4 subjects, all 4 subjects also got exams… Then talking something about the increment of petrol price in Malaysia, politics in Malaysia, bla bla bla… Not bad, feel good got some chances to chat with him…

Then after his laundry is done, he went back to his room and I stayed in the kitchen a while to read the newspapers then back to my room and blogging lor… Today is such a nice day for me…

Nothing much, just want to share with you guys all the things that I actually experienced here no matter bad one or good one… Cheers and take care ya everyone… and not to forget to wish my school band (JSPO) best of luck in their State Formation Competition on this 14 June 2008… JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!!

p/s: Hope that tomorrow is going to be a nice day for me as well, as usually if today I am happy tomorrow would probably got something bad happen… Hope that I am wrong!!!

A Better Tomorrow

2008-06-13T12:17:00.000+10:00

今天（6月10日）到 State Library 上网了，才知道原来我那篇“从新开始，从心开始”得了蛮多的回响。。。想必是大家都被我吓到了吧？！对不起，让你们担心了。。。现在的我还好吧，这几天都在读书，也没什么特别的事发生，能够不出门我就尽量不出去，免得待会儿又惹了什么麻烦嘛。。。其实真的很想谢谢大家的关心，Honey, Pat, Gor Gor and Song Keat。。。希望等我考试后我的 Internet Connection 也办妥了，那我就可以上网与大家谈谈天了。。。到时见吧，现在我要专心努力啃书了，嘻嘻。。。

p/s: Honey, Pat, gor gor and all the ex-Intecians that are now all over NZ and Australia, wish you guys all the best in the up coming semester 1 final exam… This is our very first University First Year Semester 1 Final Exam, let’s us together add oil (though the price of the oil is damn expensive now…- _ -111), I knew we can do it, remembered last time we used to said “I Believe I can fly…” and we made it… So, jia you everyone… Good luck…

JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!!

2008-06-13T12:15:00.000+10:00

Yea, it’s the most important annual activity for a secondary school band before getting into the National Formation Competition… You are absolutely right, this is the Formation season, and my school band is going to have their State Competition on next coming Saturday (14 June 2008)… Too bad I won’t be there to support them but never mind, as like Song Keat said, I will yell the cheer far from Australia to support you guys all… JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!!

Had been watching the formation in the computer form one through Song Keat’s blog… The formation is not bad, kinda grand and nice… Too bad I was watching it through computer in University Library and I forgot to bring along my earphone, so no music for me but just the formation… Never mind, I will go and watch it again or sooner I may get to watch the real show of our unbeatable JSPO members formation… ROCK THE STADIUM MEN…

Really hope that they can make it a legend to our band, 5 victories in a row… Still remembered that our batch managed to make it twice, and then our juniors 2 more victories… Now is the time of the 5^th one, kinda anxious for them and of course we all know that there are some kind of politics works behind this, so really hope that they manage to make us proud… Even if they can’t, I don’t think that they are not good, just that the politics are playing behind all these scenes which we all can’t control it…

So no worries, JSPOians, The Mask of Zorro, My Heroes… I believe that you guys can make it… I knew you all will try your best to make yourselves available into the National Formation 2008. All I can do is cheer for you guys far from where you guys going to have the competition… I hope you guys can hear the cheer from us (Australia which include me and Joe-lene)… Again, JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!! (Have you ever spotted that how many times have I repeated our very own and special cheer?! Haha, really wish that I can watch the competition live, MEN…) Still got like one more week and I am already now so anxious for you guys and excited d…

p/s: Song Keat, please make sure the recorded competition is available in your blog, please, please… Or maybe I can try to watch them in Voteband, but I prefer to get it from your blog, haha… Try your best to upload them asap then… Thanks a lot ya…

One last thing, Song Keat, you ask for our hp number no matter overseas one right?! I already given in your chat box but just in case you don’t get it, my AUS hp number: 04-2236 2964, if you want to text me, you just need to add “+61” in front of those numbers without the “0”, really appreciate it if you can like sms us the result or you just need to post them on your blog…(don’t want to waste your credit, RM2 per sms)

JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN HOH! JIT SIN PAK BEH TOH!!!

从新开始,从心开始

2008-06-06T12:14:00.001+10:00

经过了这件事情后，我真的醒悟了。。。为什么我会变得如此的大胆？！以前奉公守法的我呢？！从何时开始我变得如此的胆大包天？！为什么我会变得做犯法的事情时都没那一回事的？！经过了一整晚的不安，念了差不多一整完的佛经，心都没能安下来。。。今天早上醒来心里依然很不安，万一他们起诉我，那我该怎么办呢？！我可不能因为这样而失去了我JPA 的奖学金，我不可以失去这个的。。。万一我的家人知道了我该怎么办？！万一JPA 真的取消我的奖学金资格那我该怎么办呢？！有着太多太多的万一，就连我自己都不敢想下去了。。。然后就是打了个电话到有关部门问一问看，看他们会不会告我。。。好了，终于确定了，他们并不会这么做，但是会罚款我。。。唉，我都知道是我自己的错了，现在罚款我并不再介意了，只要不告我就好了。。。心里总算没那么的紧绷了。。。打完了电话，回到房里，看着之前Pat 从 NZ 寄来的 SMS ，我再也忍不住了，我哭了。。。从昨晚那件事后，我好想哭出来，可是不知怎的，就是哭不出来。。。可是今天早上（6月4日），我真的撑不下去了。。。我好想念大家，Pat。。。我到底是怎么啦？！

现在总算是确定不会有事了，也就没那么担心了。。。现在唯一能做的就是等着他们把罚单寄到我家来，然后就是去还钱咯。。。破财消灾，这个月的零用钱就这样没了，唯有捱面包过日子了。。。不过大家不用担心我，我一定会好好照顾我的身体的，更不会因为这样而得了胃病，因为我自己也不想有这顽强的病。。。

对不起，我真的不想把这件事公告天下。。。没有任何人知道，但我能够让你们知道的是，从这一刻开始，我发誓不会再做任何犯法的事情，绝对不会再让我自己有任何的机会再去担心这担心那的了。。。不会！！！不会！！！一定不会再有那么的一天了！！！我真得很累了，我不想再过着心惊胆跳的日子了。。。或许之前我常说为什么我那么倒霉都是我自己的错，我觉得我不应该赖在倒霉身上，或许问题本来就在于我自己的身上。。。从现在开始，我要从新做人，从新开始，从心开始。。。以后无论发生任何的事情我都不应该也不会再说是上天的旨意，这一切一切的发生一定有原因的，而当中极有可能是我自己一手造成的，怨不得人，更怨不得上天。。。

昨天晚上真的很辛苦及担心，甚至有着那么一股的冲动，真的好想好想走下楼去敲他的房门然后抱着他大哭一场。。。（感觉就好像这一幕只有在电视剧里才看得到的吧？！）可是我真的有那么想过，而且还想了很久呢。。。最后当然是什么都没有发生啦，我还不至于大胆到这样的地步。。。但是现在回想起来，真的不知为什么我会有那股冲动？！为什么我会想要抱着他痛哭呢？！或许我只是需要一个人在我心烦担心时可以让我依靠依靠一下。。。可是这样有分别吗？！要是我不是喜欢他，为什么在我想要找人依靠时会想到他呢？但是喜欢了又怎样呢？！他都要走人了，我能做的最多还不是在他走前跟他拍张照，就连他的email 都不知道有没有勇气向他要呢？！

希望我可以一切顺顺利利吧，我会奉公守法，希望不会再有任何不好的事情发生了。。。但是有时候想起来，这样我的人生才精彩嘛，至少我体验了其他人没体验过的一些小小的惊险。。。但是我真的不太适合过于惊险的生活，我还是比较喜欢安定安稳的生活。。。

直到这一刻为止，我才真正的知道原来大家都很关心我。。。今天晚上吃晚餐时，遇见了 Pun 还有 Ya Lin，他们都问起了我 Internet 的事情，问我搞好了吗？！然后又遇见了 Kyung (韩国的housemate)，Melvin，William，还有 Edward。。。Edward 也问起了我 Internet 的事情，相处下来才真的觉得他并没有我之前所想的那么不好，当 Kyung 说他姐姐一次过得了两份工作时，他还很风趣地说他应该去报读 Nursing。。。希望之前的风风雨雨都过了，接着下来我美丽的春天就会在不远的前方等着我吧。。。Melvin 还有William 还有 Pun 及 Ya Lin 都要走了，新的housemates 又是三个马来西亚来的马来人，希望他们都像 Melvin, William, Pun 及 Ya Lin 那么好人吧。。。

当然还有我在遥远的朋友们，我知道你们也都很关心小妹我的。。。但是请大家放十二万个心好了，小妹我可是只打不死的蟑螂，不管有多大的风雨我都不会放弃，我相信我一定可以捱得过的。。。

p/s: Sorry ya gor gor, recently all my blog posts were written in Chinese and make you unavailable to read them in details… but I just want to express them out in Chinese so that I wont really forget my mother tongue and all those complicated words… I don’t mind if you ask some of your friends which understand Chinese to read my blog to you… or maybe you can ask that Jacky Pocky to read them for you… Haha, such a long time never call him like that d, but I know he kinda busy for his study all the time one, so maybe he wont be able to read them for you too… Anyway, wish you all the best and good luck for your first ever Uni first semester final…

女人的直觉？上天的安排？

2008-06-03T11:36:00.002+10:00

不知应该说是命中注定呢还是我自己搞扎了整件事呢？今天Telstra 本应该会帮我 set 我的 home phone line 的，可是我有 Chemistry Exam Tutorial, 所以就把我房间的钥匙交给了Melvin, 那万一他们需要派人来我房 set up 也不会有问题啊。。。可是，我其实可以去下午2点的 Tutorial, 因为有2 个相同的 sessions, 那我早上就可以留在家等看 Telstra 的 Technician 会不会来电说他们需要到我家一趟来 set up。。。可是我就觉得把钥匙交给Melvin 也是一样的啊，我只需要在他们打电话来时告诉他们我的housemate 会开门给他们就可以了嘛。。。就这样决定了。。。还以为我的手机没有 on silent, 那么他们来电时我就可以听见咯，哪知其实我的手机是on silent 的，等到 Tutorial 完时，拿起手机一看才发现刚刚11：31am 有一个 miscalled 。。。完了完了，一定是那Technician 打来的。。。而我打回去了很多次都没人接听，没办法了，只好去Telstra Shop 找他们咯。。。等他们帮我查了查，就这样等了大约半小时，结果是没有帮我connect yet ，还说他们去了我家可是没人开门，那根本就不可能嘛。。。我想他们是打电话要告诉我他们要来我家时我没接听然后他们以为我不在家就索性不来了。。。没办法咯，他们要我明天早上打电话去再弄个新的appointment，真的还有点气的，等了大约一小时原来只得了个吉（广东话）。。。但气也没办法啊。。。那你觉得是不是上天早就订好了的呢，还是我自己拿来的？！假如我去下午的Tutorial的话，不就什么事都没了吗？！为什么我又会要去早上的呢？！看来我没到七月都不用想上网了。。。可是这样也好啦，那我就可以专心的读书，期末考只剩下两星期了。。。（我这人真的很乐观吧，在任何情况下都可以往好的方面想，而且好像从来都没往坏的方面想的，不是我自恋啦，是真的，只不过喜欢发发牢骚而已。。。）

心情不好就去买东西吃咯，（心情说：“不要赖在我身上啦！”）还了房租，就去Safeway 走走看有什么可以买来发泄发泄一下。。。本来打算买一个蒸锅的，AUD 29.95，但又想我会不会又是3分钟热度蒸了两天的鱼然后就不用它了呢？！结果还是没买了，回到家洗澡时又好像有点后悔了，因为来到这真的只吃到几次的鱼，真的好想念鱼哦。。。可是这里的鱼大多数都是淡水鱼，我这只猫又怎么会吃得下呢？！真的没味道的，蛮难吃的。。。可能过后去Vic Market 看看吧，假如可以买到新鲜美味的鱼的话，那我可能就去买那蒸锅了，因为之前在那看到“salt water fish”，还蛮兴奋的。。。

晚上下厨房拿些东西，遇见了 Edward, Melvin 还有他。。。他又是在吃他的 Fish and Chip, 昨天也吃了。。。Edward 问了问我关于 Telstra 的事，我就告诉他咯。。。哇，他不知是吃到了什么，连眼角都不瞄我一眼，只是静静地在那吃他的。。。拿了我的东西，跟 Edward and Melvin 讲完了，就走人了。。。他到底是怎么了？！是吃醋了吗？！不高兴我把房间的钥匙交给了Melvin？！其实今早有想过要不要交给他的，可是又好像很怪的假如我突然把钥匙交给了他，又不知他会不会出门。。。所以最后还是交给了Melvin 咯。。。或许是我想太多了吧，他大概都不会喜欢我那又怎么会吃醋呢？！又怎么会有时间来烦我的问题呢？！可是，我的直觉好像都还没有错过，那到底我应该相信我的直觉呢还是相信什么好呢？看香港 TVB 的连续剧都说，女人的直觉是不会错的，那是真的吗？可信度又有几多呢？

或许我应该相信上天吧，上天自有安排。。。你看，一个我喜欢了蛮久的人即将来到我这里和我同一间大学上课，可是我又好像没有了我想象中的兴奋；而他就在我好像喜欢他的时候，就要离开这个家回到大马去了。。。说你都不会相信吧，好戏剧化哦！！！看最美丽的第七天里，有我蛮喜欢的一句对白：“分开是为了等待重逢。。。”我跟他都这么久了，难道现在是上天给我的一个机会？！可是我又好像觉得我跟他之间好像没有了那一股强烈的感觉了。。。而这个新的他，又将在不到一个月的时间就要离开这里了，难道这个我俩的分开又是为了等待若干年后我们在大马的重逢吗？

不写了，再写肯定闷坏你们啦。。。现在我什么都不能做，更不应该花时间在这些问题上。。。因为我有着更重要的任务，那就是我的期末考。。。我大一的第一个期考，我可不想把它搞扎了。。。加油加油，我一定可以做到的！！！

没想到在我还没睡之前竟然还会有件开心的事情发生了。。。原本只是打算跟Ya Lin 姐借她的电话来试试看我的 line 能不能用那明天再打电话到Telstra 那，免得又再摆乌龙嘛，可能我的line 已经set 好了呢？哪知真的能用了也，拿起电话听到嘟嘟的 dialing tone 真的有点难以置信。。。然后便试试看打去我的手机咯，通了，我的手机响了。。。哇，好高兴哦！！！看来应该可以不用等到七月就可以和大家联络了，谢天谢地。。。结果今天早上(6月3日)去找他们,还是说没弄好,帮我另外订了个新的日期,下星期二...希望不会又再是一波三折吧...

WHY?!

2008-05-31T05:04:00.002+10:00

今天是这学期的最后一天了, 很快吧?! 上完了最后一堂课, 就跟 JIA MIN 及 SZE KEE 出去逛逛, 打算今天尽情的玩, 明天开始就得收拾心情发愤图强。。。去了CROWN, FEDERATION SQUARE 还有 RED TARGET, 还买了寿司当晚餐。。。也买了一支便宜的红酒 (AUD 10。97), 是她们想喝的, 我就还好啦!本来打算看戏的，哪知 ALICE 不在，就没戏好看了喽，因为得跟她COPY。。。就上网，跟 MELVIN 聊天，也跟他聊天了。。。

依然记得跟 PAPA 说过他第一次来找我聊天，当然是问我一些他想要知道的资料, 请恕我不能说出是什么。。。 PAPA 说，他总觉得他的她总是在无聊时才找他聊天, 感觉怪怪的，而我就说那没关系啊，至少她会找他聊天。。。可是，近来我真的觉得他跟我聊天也只是想要知道一些东西而已。。。感觉就好像 PAPA 之前和我说过的，那种感觉真的不知该怎么形容。。。好像很不爽，可又不是。。。他问我, 那我到底是该开心还是悲哀呢? 他问我的原因当然是我比他熟悉这里，他需要我的意见。。。开心，因为他没去问别人而是问我了?! 悲哀，因为他没有其他人可以问了?! 还蛮想知道的，要是他有其他要好的朋友在这里的话，他还会问我这么多东西吗? 真的不知道，不过这时候，我不想想那么多了，我得专心读书。。。

各位朋友，真的好抱歉，小妹今年都不会回去了。。。所以近期之内都看不到大家了。。。你们可要好好包重哦!!!

What happened to me?!

2008-05-26T11:36:00.001+10:00

惨了惨了，我到底是怎么了？！难道我喜欢上了他？！不可能吧，在这家只不过是住了三个月，不可能在这么短时间内我就喜欢上他了吧，更何况我心里老早就有了另一个人的啊，不太可能吧？！可是，真的不知何时开始，我总是留意着他，每次下楼去厨房时，在楼梯口时第一时间就是看一看他房门前的拖鞋有没有在。。。不在的话，那他极有可能在厨房里；有在的话那他就是在房里喽。。。每次从外头回来时，一进家门也是第一时间看一看他的拖鞋有没有在。。。很无聊吧我？！总是希望可以在厨房遇见他，可是遇见了又没什么话可以谈的，都是你吃你的，我准备我的，各有个忙的。。。可是我就是想见一见他，糟糕了。。。早就觉得有点不太对劲，老早就警告过自己不可以想那么多，可是我就是没办法控制。。。

但他真的很好人。。。犹记得我刚到这家时，是他与另一个housemate开门给我的，就好像是来迎接我吧，也不是什么迎接不迎接的啦，只是我比预期中迟到我家，所以房东只好交待他们说有新房客会来喽。。。是他开门的，他看了看我，回过神来，告诉我我的房间号码是9号，在二楼，一上楼梯应该就会看见的了。。。点了点头就打算上去然后还得赶去JPA的Meeting。。。他二话不说，就帮我把我那24kg 的大行李箱扛上楼了。。。还好有他帮忙，不然我真的不知道该怎样把那行李箱扛上楼。。。可是说也奇怪，我那时一心只想着赶去JPA 的Meeting，都没想过要怎么搬东西上楼，可他就已经动手了，可能是看见我一个小女孩吧。。。真得很谢谢他。。。可是，后来又觉得他很cool,总是静静的，有时候明明是跟其他人在聊天，可当我一进厨房他们就没话谈了，到底是怎么了？！但是有时候他都会跟我说话的啦。。。Pun 是最和蔼的了，总是笑脸迎人，总是问我大学开始了吗，问这问那的。。。哈哈，他很好的，也很厉害煮哦，每次他下厨总是香味充满整间家，在二楼的我都闻得到。。。而他就最喜欢吃咖喱，好像每星期至少要吃一两次。。。说也奇怪，不只是我不会煮呢还是他们太厉害了？!每次他或是Pun下厨总是如此的美味，而我煮的，哎，别说了，没眼看。。。尤其是他的咖喱，哇，好想试一试哦，好想念我妈的咖喱鱼。。。

期间就普普通通吧，一天一天就这样过了。。。好了，有一天，我晚上大概是11点多左右吧，去洗手间洗脸打算去会周公了。。。突然，有人从冲凉房里走出来，哈哈，不是他啦，他住楼下的，楼下有楼下的洗手间。。。是Melvin,10 号房的housemate，他也是从马来西亚来的。。。包着毛巾，看见了我。。。错愕了一下，忙跟我道歉。。。我当然没关系啦，一个男生包着毛巾从浴室出来，有什么好稀奇的？！然后就去睡了咯。。。隔天早上，吃过了早餐，还没踏出大门前，就去了楼下的洗手间，照着镜子涂唇油嘛，蓝得上楼上去，更何况没人说楼上的房客不可用楼下的洗手间啊。。。突然有人走进来，是他。。。他要去洗澡。。。也是包着毛巾。。。看见我当然是和Melvin 的反应一样喽，忙向我道歉的。。。我也没什么好说的，只是说了：“It’s alright…” 然后就我上我的学，他洗他的澡去了咯。。。说也奇怪，这么短的时间内一连看见了两个大马的同乡包着毛巾，哈哈。。。隔几天看见他时，他都好像当我透明的，而我也没什么好意思跟他说话。。。可是心里想，看见他包毛巾而已嘛，又没什么大不了，为什么就没话好说了呢？！就这样咯，过后就没什么了啦。。。

然后就是今天早上，一大清早就被修路的工程吵杂声吵醒了。。。打算打扫我的房间然后才出门去State Library。。。下楼去拿吸尘机，看见他的拖鞋不在，又没在厕所，就是在厨房了咯。。。这么早，大概也是被吵醒的吧，因为他的房间可是在那工程的旁边而已耶。。。然后就快手快脚地把房间打理好，洗刷完毕后，就去厨房吃早餐咯。。。哪知他还在厨房耶，搞什么搞这么久啊？！原来他在准备一个星期的Sandwiches。。。哈哈，这里的生活就是这样的，通常都是一次过准备一星期要吃的。。。然后他就和我说:“Early in the Sunday morning also they are working…” 我就一句：“Yea, Shit！” 他笑了，而我就愣了一会儿，我怎么会用了那字眼啊？！然后他就和我聊了咯，说他得去找暂时的落脚处因为他在这家的契约在这6月就结束了。。。可是之前当我知道他要搬时心里有点不舍得，可后来Melvin又告诉我他可能不会搬吧，因为他申请了这里的PR,需要在这里至少两年，而他在这里只是一年半而已，还有半年。。。听了后心里感觉还好。。。可是今天早上他说他这6月尾就得搬了。。。唉。。。该走的还是得走吧？！然后就问了我近来大学怎样了。。。（我最不会回答的问题，因为我真的没觉得大学与我之前的求学生涯有什么很大的差别）就一句：“Busy…” 然后他就说他也很忙，忙着他的assignments。。。也告诉了我他的Logistic assignment 蛮难的。。。看着他，一副欲言又止的样子，难道他有别的话想要对我说吗？！还是我想多了呢？！过后就去了图书馆温习课业咯。。。

真的越来越不太清楚我自己了，为什么我会有这样的感觉呢？！为什么会觉得他会有别的话想要对我说呢？！甚至幻想说他向我告白。。。真的有够无聊的我！！！他又怎么会喜欢我呢？！又怎么会向我告白呢?!而我自己就连是不是喜欢他都还搞不清楚就想了那么多。。。或许我只是觉得他人很好而已吧，应该说是对他有好感，不会是喜欢吧？！我喜欢的是其他人啊！！！不知道不知道。。。不管了，明天还有课要上，该是时候睡了，哈哈。。。下个星期就是我大一第一学期的最后一个星期了，很快吧？！好咯，大家要保重哦，谢谢你们拨冗来听听我的牢骚。。。

Bad Luck

2008-05-16T20:35:00.001+10:00

为什么最近的我总是如此的倒霉？！难道我就这么美吗，美到衰神都看上我了呢？或者应该说是我太丑了，所以它才会跟着我吧！！！先是Edward不要与我们share internet，然后我就在星期二到Telstra Dealer 那去register home phone line, 这样我才能申请TPG internet, 才能上网。。。哪知隔天Telstra Dealer call 我，说我的appointment 是在六月二日。我想要他们帮我cancel那appointment，原因是我不能等那么久，那Edward 只跟我们share 到这星期五，但又担心不知他们会要不要帮我。。。好啦，担心这担心那的，一整晚都没能睡好，早上醒来时还在担心万一Telstra Dealer 不帮我取消那该怎办呢？！然后就踏着我的铁马去上课咯，哪知当我到了学校把它锁好后，突然想起，噢，我忘了带我的Lab Coat and Goggles。。。我待会儿十点有Chemistry Lab, 怎么办呢？！九点有ESD 要上，而来回我家及大学的时间大概需要20 分钟，我只有大约5 分钟就得上ESD 了。。。马上呼叫了Karmun and Sze Kee, 可是都没人接听。。。然后又呼叫了Ain, 可她今天与我同样时间Lab,而她的housemates 也都出门了。。。没办法咯，突然想起了Tze Han, 马上called 他，但他也和我同时间Lab, 但他会帮我问看他的朋友。。。还好，最后总算被Tze Han 救了，有惊无险，谢谢你咯 Han, 虽然你并没有可能看到我的Blog。。。但真的要谢谢你，前一天解释了我要做的ChemLab给我听，现在又得麻烦你帮我找见LabCoat and Goggles。。。

好啦，然后在ChemLab里发生了什么事我都写在之前一个Post, 真的觉得好对不起Mr.Dev, 但我也是逼与无奈的啊！！！希望Mr.Dev 大人有大量吧，就原谅我这个小人一次。。。然后就上课上到三点，待会儿四点才有Chemistry Tutorial, 就趁着这一小时的空隙骑着我的脚踏车到Telstra Dealer 那，要他们帮我取消那appointment。。。好啦，如我所愿，他们可以帮我取消。。。然后我就走到隔两条街的Telstra Shop 去重新申请我的Home Phone Line。。。因为Edward 告诉我要是在Telstra Shop 的话，只需2-3天就可以办妥一切了。。。好啦，资料填妥了，他们告诉我明天8-12点会帮我把我的Line 弄好，但我也只是半信半疑，因为很多朋友都花上了一个多月才把他们的Line 弄好，而这一切都应该归功于Telstra 的 INEFFICIENCY。。。而我家的Edward 可能就那么的幸运吧，在2-3天就把一切弄好了。。。好咯，那是星期三咯，以为一切都好了，哪知那只是“山雨欲来风满楼”。然后就星期四了，上完了课，去了图书馆一会儿就回家了，然后晚上跟我的Housemate, Ya Ling, 借了她的Modem 来test看我的Line 可以用了吗。。。没有Dialing Tone, meaning 不能用咯，早就告诉你了，不能相信Telstra 的。。。然后就今天早上，我十点有German Phonetic, 打算九点去Telstra 那问一问他们，顺便要他们尽快帮我把一切弄好。。。好咯，check 了我的资料，说没有任何的order,因为我要他们取消了。天啊，怎么会这样啊？！后来我想通了，一定是那Telstra Dealer, 一定是他在我弄了新的order后，他才call去帮我取消我之前第一个的order, 好咯，现在我根本就没有任何的order, 那他们又怎么会帮我把line 弄好呢？！幸好我今天有去Telstra那吧，不然一直等下去都不知道发生了这样的事啊！！！最后当然是帮我下了新的order 咯。。。还是没办法，最早都要能到六月二日才能把我的Line 弄好，没办法咯，只能等啦，大不了不就是2-3星期不能上网而已。。。说得倒是潇洒，那天我一个晚上没能上网罢了，我好像就快要死了，2-3 星期，我到底能不能熬过呢？！怎么说呢，就算不能也得能咯，没办法的啊？！往好的方面想，这样也好，Final Exam 距离现在只有不长的时间，我应该开始复习了，不能上网或许是件好事吧。。。

然后就赶着去上 German Phonetic, 已经是10：15了。。。骑着脚踏车，突然有人拦着了我。。。是谁呢？！任你怎么想都不会想到的。。。真的有够衰了，是交警，可我并不是骑在大马路上啊，我是骑在店面前的五脚基，那为什么她（Fiona Robinson ）拦着我呢？！”You are not allowed to ride on the footpath!”,　这就是我犯的罪。。。没办法咯，她要我的ID, 还好因为今天要去Telstra 那，我把护照带在身上了，平时我并没有带的。。。给了她，当然就是写了张 ”三万” 给我咯，幸好不是很贵，AUS$ 55。。。假如坐Tram 没有Ticket, AUS$ 500。。。王好的方面想，这样也好啦，要不然我都不知道原来我是不可以在五脚基行驶的，但可能你会说这代价未免太大了吧？！的确是有点大，可是要是没有罚单，只是单纯的警告我，我想我或许以后偶尔还会在五脚基上行驶吧，因为知道不会有事的啊，只不过是警告而已嘛。。。　然后就赶着去上我的German。。。还好上了German，心情好像平复了很多，刚刚好想哭，可是就好像大家所说的，当你伤心绝望到了极点时，你想哭也都哭不出来了。。。真的哭不出来，想了想，哭也没用嘛，哭了这一切都不会解决的，哭了那 AUS$ 55的fine 还是一样要还的啊。。。好咯，过后上完了课就到图书馆去把我只能在网上完成的课业尽量完成，那今晚就不用那么赶嘛，今晚可是我最后一晚能上网了耶。。。然后大概在４点左右去还我的罚单咯，不想拖了啦，还了一了百了。。。说你都不相信，还了心情真的松了，也没之前那么“mang zhang”。。。可能是花了钱心情就会好些吧，每次我不开心时只要去买很多东西尤其是吃的，心情就会好很多了，再加上吃着买回来的战利品，马上就把一切忘了。。。这就是我近来的倒霉史。。。

有时真得蛮佩服我自己的，遇到了这么多的事都还可以这么的乐观。。。或许是天生的吧，又或许我只是压抑着而已，等到哪一天我撑不下去时，就连我自己都不知道我会怎样。。。一次过的爆发总是危险过多次小型的爆发吧？！我不知道我还可以如此乐观的过着几个日子，但愿衰神可以放过我一马。。。

At Last

2008-05-14T23:46:00.002+10:00

Today, I had a really bad morning... Why?! By the time I reached Uni, I realised that I forgot to take my lab coat and googles for my chem prac... So how?! Want to cycled back to take them?! But this will take me around 15-25 minutes to go back home and back to Uni, but I have class in just 10 minutes time... So I tried to call Sze Kee and Karmun, mana tahu they all didnt answered my call... then I called Tze Han and asked him to try to get one for me from his friend as he also got prac at the same time with me... Then I called Brian and Ain as well, but the luck wasnt on my side... Then I just decided dont care d la, go to my ESD class first la... Thanks god at last Han manage to get one for me, really thanks a lot ya Han, even though it's been a bit late... then doing my prac on 10am after my 9am ESD lecture... God, again the thing that I hope not to happen happened again... I knew it was a hectic experiment as we need to do a lot of calculations, luckily I got do the preparation before hand... But, I really dont understand what Mr.Dev (my chem prac demonstrator) explained to us how to do Q3... then I got only about half an hour left to complete my report, so I decided to go to ask the other group's demonstrator... I felt really bad as my act seems like insulted Mr.Dev... But I really cant get him and I got no time to think d, I need to be quick... I am really sorry, Mr.Dev, I really dont mean to insult you... I hope you can understand it...

Having such a clumsy morning, I am really scare that later on when I go to the dealer and he said cant cancelled the appointment for me then I will just die... But thanks god, he is willingly to cancel it for me... Thank you so much... Then I go straight to the Telstra shop and ask them to re-conect my room phone line so that I can use it to connect to a modem and let me online... And it now all settled d...Phew...

So, this is another day for me... hope that things will really get better and smoother for me...

Faith?

2008-05-13T22:54:00.002+10:00

Yesterday (12/5) was the most happiest day I had ever since my semester began on 3rd of March 2008... Why?! Haha, of course is about my Engineering System Design workshop... We were using a software called Robolab to control a small, cute robot... We were taught how to operate it during our lectures last week and at last I got the chance to write a program and make it do what I told it to do... Cool man, it was so fun and enjoyable when the time you saw the robot actually work exactly what you want it to do... For example, we were trying to make it has pivot turn at the spot and also make a 90 degree turn with the radius of one tile... Wow, it make the turn exactly of one tile radius, but of course that depends on the power that you told it to use on the B output and C output as well as the time for it to go before you told it to stop. Really really nice and cool... Maybe you can't really feel the feeling of mine as you didn't work with the Robot... We even had a race in the end of the workshop after the 3 assessments that we were told to be completed. The 3 assessments included (i) make the Robot going forward for exactly 2 tile and in a STRAIGHT line, (ii) make it to gradually turn with the radius of 1 tile and the last one is the most interesting one...Hehe, we had to make it going forward 2 tiles then have a rapid 180 degree turn on the spot and then going forward for 1 more tile. So in the end the robot will be only 1 tile from the beginning point. We actually got one chance to demonstrate each of our assessment to the tutor and the tutor will give us the mark. But our lovely, handsome and smart tutor, Will Moase (where most of us called him Will, which make me feel that me and him are more closer, haha) gave us a second chance during our second assessment as the robot didn't really did the job perfectly... Thanks a lot, Will... I love you... So in the end of course our group get an A for the assessments, haha...

Ever since I am so happy yesterday, I was started to think during yesterday night when I was doing my math tutorial sheet, will something not happy or bad going to happen tomorrow as everytime I am happy then the other day something not really please will happen...怎知，真得这么准，每次都是这样的。。。为什么我的第六感在这一方面就这么的灵，好的又不见得有那么准！！！唉。。。今天去问看那些人几时才会来帮我把家里的电话线弄好，这样我才可以申请新的线，才可以上网。。。（因为现在与我们share internet 的 Edward 不要与我们 share了，那我们只好三个人另外开line share 咯。。。）哪知那人告诉我他们将在六月二日才能来，而我只能上网到这星期五 (因为那Edward这个月不收我们的钱，让我们用到这星期五，他 aspect 我们可以在这星期五把line弄好，可是他并不知道他们的工作率其实超差的。。。) 那也就算了，回到家就想问Edward看看能不能让我share完这个月，当然我会pay他啦。。。可是他说不应该那么久的，而且不需要那些人来我家才能set the line, 可以online弄得，假如他们来家里的话，那我必须pay　AUS１２５，若ｏｎｌｉｎｅ　ｆｉｘ，　我只需ｐａｙ　ＡＵＳ60... 天啊，怎么会这样？！那我明天又得去那店要他们把我的appoitment取消掉。。。麻烦是一回事，万一不能取消呢？！哦，天啊，拜托你了，一定要让我取消成功，然后赶快把这internet and line 的问题解决了。。。

希望我往后的日子可安稳些，不要今天那么的开心，那么的好，然后隔天就那么的不幸运，那么的压力，唉。。。今天踏着脚踏车去上课的路程上，想了这些问题及烦恼，真的好烦啊，我真的不想再想这么多了，我不想再烦下去了，更不想这样子一个人撑下去了，也不知道我到底能不能撑得下去。。。我不想，我不想，我不想！！！好想，好希望有个人可以让我依靠一下，哪怕是一分钟。。。（请不要误会，我并不是急着想要找个伴，只是希望有个人可以在我烦恼时静静地听我诉说一切，让我发发牢骚而已。。。）

By the way, I think I need to thank to my gor gor (KS, currently in NZ) as he did listen to all those I wrote in this blog about my internet application problem... As well as thanks a lot to Tze Han also, he is one of my math tutorial mates which also "got" a chance to listen to those problems before our math tutorial today as I asked him out to meet up earlier before our math tut as I got something about chemistry practical tomorrow need to ask him... And last but not least, my honey, jj (currently in Brisbane)...

Thanks a lot everyone who care so much for me... Don't worry too much about me la, as you guys know, I ＷＩＬＬ　BE　ＢＡＣＫ．．．我只是想发一发牢骚而已，哈哈。。。

First Pool Here (Inu Bar)

2008-05-06T19:21:00.004+10:00

Actually, my last MATLAb test wasn't as ugly as I think it was... The result is uploaded and my friend told me on last Saturday. I went to my personal account and checked it out eventhough I dont really want to know the mark but I got no choice... Sooner or later I will have to face it as well, so I decided to go and check it out. To my surprise, it was not that bad... It's 25 out of 30, hehe...Kinda releasing after seeing the result and got more mood to study, haha...

Yesterday(Monday), the first time we got no workshop but we have project to be completed... Our group met up at the workshop at the same time as our usual workshop time and discuss about our project which will deal on this coming Friday(9 May)... After discussing somewhile, Chris, one of my smart, kinda good-looking groupmates, said that there is a free pool to play at Inu Bar(a bar in the Union House in our Uni) from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. So, we decided to to our project till 5.30pm and go to play the free pool as a reward,hehe...(eventhough I think we didnt really did much)

This is the second time of playing pool in my life, my FIRST pool in Australia... My first time was back to BM when that time I played with some of my ex-F6 classmates. it is really nice to play pool, eventhough I am not as pro as the guys... I was playing with Elina, the other groupmates which is also comes from Malaysia... Our game is BAD, haha, but we did enjoy it... By the time we almost finished our game, the guys of our group already played till their 3rd games, hehe... And here come the most happiest and interesting thing, "deng deng deng...", I was hitting the Black ball, but I didnt really think that it can go into the hole... But by accident, it ends up that that black ball just went into the hole... Hohohoho, by accident, I actually won in that game... So so so happy... And then?! Nothing d lor, kinda late d, around 6.20pm and it is the time to go back, haha... SO just cycled back to my lovely home...

My MATLAB Test is UGLY

2008-04-29T22:51:00.002+10:00

My MATLAB test today was UGLY... If you are the students of the Math 1 in The University of Melbourne, you will 100% understand this sentence... As the "ugly" is the word that expressed most by our lovely and handsome lecturer, Paul Norbury... But if you are not the students of him also, I guess you can also get the meaning of that sentence by guessing yourself right? I seriously don't know what had I done for that paper... It is going to be gone...

其实在有预感这次的考试不会考得很好的，为什么呢？其实在考试前的一个小时，我们有一个小时的Tutorial,而我拿到了我上个礼拜的Math Assignment,十分我只拿了三分。。。原来我误解了题目的意思，当然答案也就不会是对的咯。。。但我觉得我不应该赖在这个原因上。。。更不应该赖在我当天是生着病把这Assignment完成的。。。因为我有一个星期的时间把它完成，而我却一直在浪费时间，等到星期日，要做的时候我却生病了，晚上老早就上床睡了，半夜还吐了无数次。。。还好隔天早上六点多醒来时较好了，就把Assignment给完成了，然后想去上课了。。。哪知却在这时候，又再不舒服起来，只好把Assignment交给我的Housemate,让她带去学校交给Karmun，让Karmun帮我交咯。。。拿到了这么差得Assignment,当然就有这不祥的预感。。。

哪知，真得这么灵。。。我的MATLAB考试就这样没啦。。。可是奇怪的是我好像就连一些些的伤感也没有，究竟是为什么呢？难道是我看化了，不再注重成绩了？！可是，在某个观点上，我觉得我不可以太看得太开，因为没有了注重及一个Target,那就不会有好的表现。。。当人类没有了一个目标，那它就是一片烂泥。。。可是我真的好像没有了感觉似的。。。回到家，上了网刚好Onkel来跟我谈天，就和他说了。。。后来，又觉得好像很对不起我的父母，唉。。。不行，我得振作起来。。。一定可以的。。。

今天晚上总算作了一件好事，还好之前Wireless有问题，没能上网，就把该温习及该做的课业做完了，然后再试着上网。。。在聊天室里干了一件好事，总算没浪费我的精神及时间，晚点睡也是值得的。。。

好啦，下定决心了。。。一定要拼了。。。加油！加油！加油！我能的。。。

顺其自然

2008-04-27T21:52:00.005+10:00

最近的我到底是怎么了？总是如此的忙碌，就连看电视节目的时间也没啦。。。原以为上星期五假期，我可以有多一天的时间来把所有我累积下来的课业及问题一次过解决掉，哪知我朋友却邀我出去，庆祝她的生日。想想那也好啦，反正假期就出去走走咯，还在她们家过了两个晚上，把整套的野蛮奶奶2看完了，什么都没做到。。。唉，都是自己没意志力啦，没能好好的控制自己，没办法啦，只好在星期六中午赶回家，只有在家我才能安心做事。

不知怎的，近来总是无时无刻都在想念着他，都没什么时间做功课了，为什么我却一直在想他呢？为什么我的大脑开始不再听我的使唤了呢？以前的我，总是可以好好的控制自己，可以成功减肥，可以克制自己不要浪费时间，可以在忙碌及该作正经事时不会去想他。。。可是为什么现在的我，好像连这些最基本的意识都做不到了。。。是因为我们俩的距离越来越远了吗？还是因为我变了？不是的，但我真的不知道是为了什么。。。近来都有与他在MSN里聊天，聊得还蛮开心的啦。。。有时甚至觉得，那是他吗？好像从来都没想过他会对我说那些话，跟老爸说了，就连老爸也说：“他会这样好的吗？” 难以置信吧，老爸？！还蛮窝心的，但是我告诉自己，不要想太多，因为他真的只是出于朋友的关心而已。。。不想让自己希望越大，失望越大。。。曾经看到一位朋友MSN的personal message, 意思大概是说：“为了不要让自己受伤，就不要抱着太大的希望。。。可是人生要是没有了希望，就不再精彩了。。。所以虽然知道会受伤，还是要拥有着希望。。。”个人认为，真的好有道理哦，人生要是没有了希望及期盼，我真的觉得人生什么也没了，没有了希望就等同于没有了人生的色彩。。。那你又会怎么想呢？

我总是如此的贪婪，总有着如此多的希望。。。希望可以和大家在一起，希望过好日子，希望他快乐，当然更加的希望我的梦可以成真，但我并不会去强求，一切就顺其自然吧。。。好一句顺其自然，JUST LET IT BE。。。真的好喜欢这句名言。。。

好啦，我要去睡觉咯。。。大家保重吧。。。

Free Online German Class

2008-03-29T22:50:00.007+11:00

Today I will be posting all those German vocabulary that I had learned so far for you guys to learn... Eager to learn?! Ok ok, wait a minute... The main purpose I make this post is that I would like to share what I learned with you guys and we can have a smooth communiccation in MSN cause I think I will be using German from now onwards just to practise and get used to it... So I hope you guys did get something from me and I got a chance to practise... I dont want like in MSN I suddenly use a German word then suddenly all the question marks are in you guys' brain... Ok, let us start our very first German Tutorial...

Personal Subject:

ich = I

du = you (singular, informal)

Sie = you (singular, formal)

er = he

sie = she

es = it

wir = we

ihr = you (plural, informal)

Sie = you (plural, formal)

sie = they

*Note that the formal form of both singular and plural "you" are Sie, the "S" must be written in capital. If is in lower case then it will be she or they dependent on the content of your conversation.

Usually used Verbs:

heissen = to be called

sein = to be

haben = have

trinken = to drink

essen = to eat

lesen = to read

setzen = to sit

sprechen = to speak

schreiben = to write

lieben = to like

zeigen = to point

studieren = to study

spielen = to play

machen = to do

verstehen = to understand

gehen = to go

fliegen = to fly

arbeiten = to work

wohnen = to live

finden = to find

gehen = to go

kommen = come

suchen = to search

wandern = to hike

*Note that almost 90% of German verbs are ended in "en" and the others are in "n". So, if you dont know the word, you may guess whether it is a verb or a noun. Another important point here, in German, all the nouns will be start in Capital. For example, water = Wasser. Wasser is a noun and you should write the "W" in capital form, not wasser but Wasser!

Like in English, we have the "s" for the verb behind he, she and it. So does German, but more complicated a bit. We will take away the "en" and "n" of the verbs. So like studieren, we use "studier" as the stem form. And wandern, we use "wander" as stem form.

ich studiere wanderne

du studierst wanderst

er studiert wandert

sie studiert wandert

es studiert wandert

wir studieren wandern

ihr studiert wandert

sie studieren wandern

Sie studieren wandern

*Note that for "ich", we always add "-e" behind the stem form of the verb. "du" add "-st"; "er,sie,es" add "-t"; "wir,sie,Sie" we always use back the original form of the verbs which ended with "-en"; "ihr" add "-t".

**Note that I put the "Sie" in the end of the list, this "Sie" is for both the singular and plural form of you. So both singular and plural will also use the same form of verb.

***Note that this rule apply to all the verbs where the stem form is not end with "-d" and "-t". If is end with "-d" or "-t", then that's another story.

For example, like "finden" where the stem form is end with a "-d", the rule applied is as below:

ich finde

du findest

er findet

sie findet

es findet

wir finden

ihr findet

sie finden

Sie finden

*Note that the rule is almost the same, just that we add an "e" for where we add "-st" and "-t" from the above rule just to make our pronounciation more easier and sound better. So instead of "-st", we add "-est" for "du" and "-et" for "er,sie es,ihr".

I guess that's all for the first class, in fact is kinda lot to learn and remember... By the way, about the pronounciation, I am very sorry about that. So you guys have to imagine it by yourselves and try to read it. A very useful clue for you guys about the pronounciation, just try to read the words part by part as in Bahasa Baku. Yea, no doubt, it's almost like our Bahasa Malaysia... But some words are special one la...

That's all for now...Until next class...

我的秘密

2008-03-26T21:34:00.003+11:00

好久没写部落客了。。。这整个星期都很堕落，因为有着复活节的假期，虽然有着蛮多的课业等着我去完成，可是我就是没办法专心。。。上星期五晚上就和一位朋友在网上聊天聊到我这边清晨6点多，而我待会儿就要和朋友到海边去玩了。。。厉害吧？！经过了这一夜之谈，他现在已经是我“爸爸”了，接下来的那几天我也都和爸爸聊到蛮夜的，但我成长了许多。。。谢谢你，爸爸！

他心里有着她，而我心里有着他。。。大家都有着许许多多的共同点，也忘了怎的，他和我谈起了他的她，听着听着，觉得其实我与他没什么两样，都喜欢上一个不会喜欢上自己的人。。。但是他告诉我，他又可以怎样呢？！再加上家里人的反对，让他更加觉得与她在一起的梦想只会是遥不可及。。。而我也没能帮上多大的忙，再怎么说我也跟他处于同一处境啊！之后的事更加让我不可思议了，因为我也不知怎的，竟然把我的他报给了他知道！！！毕竟一个女生是不会这么容易就把自己的心事告诉一个"外人"。。。就这样他知道了我的他是谁，而我也当然知道他的她是谁啦（酱才公平嘛！）过后当然是谈着我的他及他的她咯。。。我告诉他，他真的很厉害，因为这一切我都从来没向我妈或我姐透露过，就连我最要好的女性朋友都不知道他是何方神圣。。。就这样谈了一个晚上，让他知道了我的一切了，那我就干脆认他当老爸啦。。。

星期一晚上（24 日），我又再和老爸谈了一个晚上。。。而这个晚上对我来说却是如此的难过。。。到底是为了什么呢？！刚开始还好好的，不知怎的，我突然很想念他，看着他MSN的PM，竟然越看越想他了。。。但是我并没有找他聊天，因为我想跟爸爸谈心事。。。然后，眼泪开始滑落了我那胖嘟嘟的脸颊。。。告诉爸爸，他问我：“真的吗？”。。。我说是，因为好想好想哭出来发泄发泄一下。。。爸爸马上送上他那就连我们相隔两地但我都感觉到温暖的怀抱，也叫我去抱着大枕头，而当时的我早已经抱着我那大大的枕头了。。。哭了一会儿，竟然没眼泪了，但心里真的好想念好想念他。。。但我又能怎样呢？！再和爸爸谈着谈着，爸爸问我要不要让他知道。。。可是我认为现在不是一个适合的时机，拿了成绩之后，他不太乐观，整个人都变了，就连爸爸也觉得他不再是他了。。。而在他拿了成绩之后的那几天，我也只能在网上和他聊天，关心他，开导他。。。有点担心他，但认为他一定可以在站起来的，而我需要的是给他时间。。。过后也较少和他聊天了，希望给他多一些空间及时间去恢复。。。而他最近又再忙着申请这申请那的，整个人好像很累及辛苦的，我真的不想及不忍心在这个时候在他的包袱上再加上负担了。。。试想想，一个你想都没想过会喜欢的人现在竟然告诉你他喜欢你，你的反应会是什么呢？！错呃？！而你又会怎样跟那人说清楚呢？所以我真的不想在这个时候告诉他，让他本来就不好受而又好不容易才刚开始恢复的心情再次的跌进谷里。。。爸爸也拿我没办法，只好顺着我啦！但是我告诉爸爸，等他一切的手续都办好了，或许我会找个机会亲自告诉他吧。。。爸爸说若我真的有这样的胆量当然是最好啦，可是对啊，我到底有没有这么大的勇气呢？！我自己都不晓得，可是现在的我必须从新站起来，我依然还要继续在我的课业上努力，不可以继续堕落了。。。告不告诉他，就等7月在打算吧。。。爸爸，那天跟你说从现在到7月我告诉他的那一天，我都不要去想他，我要专心读书。。。你也赞同了，但也告诉我要把一个我们爱的人忘掉或是放下并不是那么容易的。。。过后，我去读了你的部落格，觉得我刚刚的眼泪好像是白流的，因为打从我喜欢上他的那一刻，我早就知道不会有什么皆大欢喜的结局，那为什么我还要为了没能跟他在一起而哭呢？！真是太可笑了。。。后来我想通了，或许是近来偶尔都有和他谈天，而且谈得蛮开心的，这让我开始有了想要得到更多的奢望吧。。。但是现在的我也成长了，只想要告诉你爸爸，我决定继续我的本来的原则，我有我的权力去喜欢他，而他当然也有着他的权力可以不用喜欢我。。。至于让不让他知道，我跟你都认为他其实或多或少都应该知道了吧，再说连大姐，二姐及三姐她们都感受到了，难道他就这么麻木吗？结果我们俩就在那大笑一场，因为我们刚刚花了一段很长的时间在争论要不要让他现在知道，你当然是想让他知道啦，而我却不想在这时候让他更加负担。。。现在想起来依然会会心一笑，为什么我们两人都那么无聊。。。嘻嘻。。。

现在真的什么都通了，不会再转牛角尖了，我依然喜欢着他，而爸爸你也同样的爱着你的她。。。

Good Friday (Easter Celebration)

2008-03-21T22:59:00.002+11:00

Today is Good Friday as well as first day of my Easter Break (one week). I woke up around 10am and after taking a chilled bath and having a sausage roll as my breakfast, I cycled to Queen Victoria Market but it doesnt open today. So I just cycled to Swanston Street to walk around there. Basically, I just walked around and observed that some shops got sale and the stuff sold are really cheap. After met with sze kee and karmun, we went into all the shops along Swantons Street to have a look.

We went into one fashion shop and started to hunt for our victims...hehe... Seriously, the dresses and pants and jeans there are so nice and the most imprtant thing is the price...The price is cheap, one jeans for AUS$ 10, so mean only RM 30 for a real jeans, not that type got mix with other materials one...COOL MAN....... But then in the end I just bought one jeans sleeveless jacket which costs me AUS$ 12 and it is so nice...For your information, this is the very FIRST piece of cloth that I buy at Australia...

Then, we just did some window shopping and taking some photos... Basically today we already finished walking the whole Swanston Street. We then planning to have our nice dinner here and dont care for the price as we wanted to enjoy our very FIRST EASTER here... So, we went into an Italian Restaurant (usual and affordable one, not that grand grand type one), I have a Mix Grilled Steak and Szee Kee has a dont know what steak d... Lastly, karmun has a Lamb Chop... My Mix Grilled Steak is kinda nice and full for me... Finishing our very first "glamour" dinner, we went home happily and feeling very satisfied... Too bad, after I finished the steak only I remembered why didnt I take a photo of the steak before I ate it as this is my very first expensive dinner and my very first easter dinner... Haiz...

That's my ever first Easter at Australia... Tomorrow will be going to St.Kilda Beach with Leon they all... Will keep you guys all updated then... Take care...

LIFE, LUCK, DESTINY

2008-03-11T22:53:00.003+11:00

Today the STPM result is out... I feel so anxious for all my F6 friends... So, I just called tze qing when I was walking to David Caro Building for my math tutorial around 3pm(Australia time). But then they haven't get the result yet, so I just go to my class and after 1 hour, we were walking to another building for a MatLab, I phoned tzeqing again... This time they got the result d, but not so good according to them... But I think we can't really do anything with the result already as it is out and for sure d... What we shall do is that get into our plan... If your result did affect your initial plan then I guess it's pretty sure that you will have to sort another plan out... I knew it's easy for me to talk here as I am not you guys and I really can't feel that what are you guys going through now... I am really SORRY about that... But everything in this world happen for reasons... Think about this "塞翁失马焉知非福"...

I chat with a friend in MSN... He is kind of sad and disappointed with his result... I can't really help much and what I can do is just chat with him, talk to him and I did really hope that by talking out or share somehting with others will help him to release his sadness and he will be better... Trying my best to kinda getting what really make him feel nauseating and numb... But I guess I am still not qualified to be a counsellor yet as he didnt really tell me...

But the main point of this post is I would like to highlight... LUCK and DESTINY... Maybe we just don't have enough luck to get what we wish to get and what we would like to achieve... The other friend told me that, he tried to reach somehting by hands but can't reach, but then he can reach by using his legs... I learned a lesson from him... Yeah, right... can't get through hands so just try to use legs... So, maybe you didn't get good result for you to go to the University that you wish, perhaps going to other University will also help you achieve what you want in the end just that you are now taking the other pathway to get it... Isn't it sound logical for you guys? or this is your destiny, you are meant to be taking this way to reach your ultimate destination... And we can't always get whatever we want n our life... Maybe this is one of the tests that God send to us and we have to overcome this challenge to continue our game (particularly called LIFE)

After chatting with him, I really felt that I am too lucky... Far far more too lucky than anyone else... I even told him that I sometimes felt so SORRY for all my friends in F6, they are really far more better than me academically, but then they just didn't get the chance that I get... They have to stay at F6, and in the end this is what they get... Sometimes I will ask why... Why is it so unfair for them? Perhaps I shall quote a dialogue from the movie... "Welcome to the real World, there is no JUSTICE here..." I just wonder WHY...

Nothing much to say already... I just hope that he will be fine soon... Get up from where he fell down and continue his journey of life...

Good Luck in you guys' Uni application then...

I hope this post didn't make anyone feel insulted and if so, I would like to apologise...

Shrine of Rememberance

2008-03-01T18:58:00.001+11:00

I joined an orientation tour organized by IDP, the tour consist of 1 hour walking tour and 2 hours bus tour. So, I went to IDP office at Lonsdale Street this morning around 10am and we, all the orientation tour participants, get a goodies bag and Subway sandwiches… Cool huh?! But then maybe I don’t really like sandwiches, I don’t think that Subway sandwiches are nice (for me only, others I am not sure…) But, how come they still can sell it so expensive over Malaysia and so many people like it? I don’t know about the price here…

First, we have a walk around Chinatown and I get to know where the post office located. Actually I had already quite used to the roads near Chinatown as my house is pretty nearby only… After a short walk, we got into a bus at Victoria Market. We then started our bus tour. We went to Melbourne Museum at the end of the Carlton Garden and took a couple of photos there. Next, we departed to Fitzroy Gardens and there have a greenhouse called Conservatory. There are plenty of beautiful flowers and plants. Just beside to Conservatory, there is Captain Cook’s Cottage. At first we planed to go inside to have a look, but then too bad it needs ticket ($ 4.50) to go inside… So, we just walked around the cottage and have a peep into the cottage…

Then we went to Shrine of Rememberance… The place is cool and nice…The outside looking of the building is like the old building in Greece (still remembered the look of the historical building that we studied in the History text last time?), it’s almost like that… It is so nice… Sorry for no photos of that place, as the photos are now with my new friend, Lyvia, there… Will post them up when they are available ya… Worry not, you will have the chance to see them all, I promise… There is a rehearsal of don’t know what ceremony coming up, so we got to see the army marching there… Seriously, their marching is worse than the marching of our school societies’ marching…hehe… Maybe they didn’t put in much effort I guess as that’s just a rehearsal…

After taking some photos and walking around, we then took the bus and went back to our starting point… That’s all for today’s tour… I then went to Big W to buy my bicycle… The bike cost me $98, and I think that’s worth it as I am going to use it for 4 years, so I guess that’s a good investment… What do you think? Apart from that, the rule here required cyclists to wear safety helmet when you cycle, so I also buy a helmet there and of course a lock to protect my bike from being stolen… After that, I went to Victoria Market to buy some fruits for next week…

That’s all for today… Going to have classes from next Monday onwards… So will have to work hard and start my new academic life soon… Hope to hear from anyone of you guys and take care ya…

2nd day of OWeek

2008-02-27T21:59:00.001+11:00

Today is the academic course day, so basically we just need to attend to our enrolled subjects' talks which will explain further about the subjects... However, in the morning, we (me, sze kee and karmun) attended two talks which is "Getting the most out of Lectures" and "Academic Writting for Assessment"... Both the talks are ok, just that a bit of boring...

We then share a big pizza at Domino Pizza with only $7.00 (student price), and each of us only paid $ 1.75 and get to eat 2 large piecees of pizzas...hehe, this is my first time eat Domino Pizza... Not bad, quite nice... After that, we went back to the Old Engineering Building and there is a free bbq like yesterday... However, there were too much people and we are quite filled with the pizzas d, so we just took a bottle of mineral water then went to the Student Centre of Engineering and checking our timetable there...

We then walked to the Law Building for our Engineering System Design 1 (ESD 1) talk. The talk is pretty concise and nice, I did got some infomartion that I would like to know from the talk... After that we have some free time before our next subject's talk... Later on,I went for my German Beginner Language and Culture 1A talk at Theatre C, Old Art Building... The lecturer is a German people and he is a humor person... He did make lots of joke during the one hour talk... That's intersting and funny...

And here come the most interesting part of today orientation... That's the bushdance... Bushdance is consists of different type of Australia's tribes traditional dance... Before we started to learn the dance steps, they did have some performance... For example, a cowboy show, play some traditional musical instruments which I never seen before (and I believe you also won't see them before)... Can you imagine that he can use a violin bow and play some nice music on the carenter saw...NOT VIOLIN...It's a saw... Interesting huh?! This is my first time... I did have a lot of first time today...

Then we started to dance... There are people to teach us... The dance steps are really wonderful... We danced in a big big circle with one guy one girl, one guy one girl, etc. The steps are really amazing and if you follow it correctly, after one round, you will be changing your partner automatically... Just like initially I danced with A, after one round of the dance, I will now have my new partner,B. So, everyone got a new partner each and every round... Cool huh?! We learned 4 type of Australian Bushdance and the last one is the Russian one... They all pretty nice and I did enjoy the dance... After the dance, it's around 7pm and before we went home, we get our free dinner, PIZZAS... Oh my god, I have been eating pizzas for the whole day... But the pizzas (dinner) wasn't Domino, I can't really remembered the name d... Quite nice and big, anyway, it's free, so just take and eat it and save a meal...

So, I have a nice and pizza day today... Take care and wil keep you guys updated...

Don't worry about me here, I am now used to the life here already...

1st Day of OWeek (Orientation)

2008-02-26T22:36:00.000+11:00

Today is my fist day of orientation week in Uni Melbourne... But before I go fror the orientation I have to walk to Little Bourke Street to meet Christine, my accommodation in-charge person, to sign my accommodation contract... So, I woke up around 7.30am and got ready about 45 minutes after that... I walked to the office and reached around 9.00am, however, the office will only open at 10am... So, I took the one hour to walk around and explore around Little Bourke Street and Bourke Street... Then I went to the office and signed my contract... Christine is a very nice person, she told me to take good care of myself and advised me to drink more H2O and eat more fruits...

I then walked to my Uni and managed to get to there just in time... My first activity is started on 12pm... Overall today we will just walking around the campus and know the way how to go to the lecturer theatre so that we won't get lost when we start our class guided by a host, a third-year student. Honestly, the campus tour is quite boring as I can't really remembered all the places in such a big campus just like that... I wanna explore the campus myself then only I will get know the route... After the tour, me, sze kee and karmun went to the carnival in South Lawn... It was pretty cool there, lots of stall and we did get plenty of free and useful stuff like stationery and information at there...

We then went for a talk entitled "Success at Uni" held in the Public Lecture Theatre of Old Arts Building... The talk is basically about how to take care of yourself in a extremely new city to you... Like get enough sleep, having a good time management, practise good diet and etc. It's pretty nice and not so boring... After the talk is the time that make tree of us excited... It's time for bbq... When we reached there, it's already a lot of people there queung for the food... At that tie only we kknew that we are only going to get white bread, sausages and some chilli sauce... That's it, and we didnt even get to touch the bbq sticks... What a disappointment... But I think is too much people so how are we going to have a bbq with so many people... So, what we get is just the sausages cooked by someone else... However, it's ok la, at least today I didnt have to pay for my dinner...hehe....

That's all for my first day of OWeek... Upcoming will have quite a number of talks have to attend and will keep you guys updated... Take care ya...

A Happy Day

2008-02-24T18:43:00.000+11:00

24 Feb; Sunny; Sunday

I woke up around 10am and have no mood at all as I just lost my $300... Actually I plan to go to buy a desk lamp and blanket today, but now that I lost my cash, I can't buy aything... I have to keep some cash until I got my ATM card then only I can withdraw money from my bank account... So I decided to cancel to plan and just stay at home... So I sleep back...

When I woke up again, I didnt want to give up... I tried to find the money again... I tried to check the underneath of a cloth on my desk... To my surprise, I found it... It was there, my $300... I was so happy... Thanks God, I didnt lost it... Again, I had the same feeling like when I knew that my phone is with Karmun that day (失而复得的感觉)... Then I started to think, I did search the same place yesterday night but how come I didnt found it?! Perhaps I was too nervous and didnt checked the place correctly... Then I told myself I shall not be so careless and "大头虾" anymore... Now that I am alone overseas, I need to take good care of myself and I can't just have a life like that... One day kind of lost handphone and the next day kinda lost money... I was really extremely lucky as I didnt really lost them, just that I forgot where I put them... So, from now onwards, I shall not be careless and forgetful... I will remind myself everyday, everytime I leave my house or from a place to another place... I need to check all the belongings are with me then only I can leave... That's what I will do...

After I found back the money, I decided to go with my original plan... So, after having a bath, I walked to Victoria Market and it's quite merry there... I bought a spiderman blanket and a thermal vacuum flask... Each for $10... I then walked to Safeway at Lygon Street to buy a loaf of Multigrain Bread which cost me $1.79... Then I walked back to my house...

Around 6pm (Australia time), my sis log in MSN and I had a chat with her... My mum was beside her and they both chat with me... At first, they told me that they wanna use the webcam so that I can see them and they can see me... I was so scared that whenI saw their faces I will cry as I am an easy cryer... But then my sis told me that they dont have the microphone so cant use the skype to chat with me... So I just on my webcam to let them view me and I can't view them... And I didnt cry at all... I guess I am 长大 now and I have to be more independent now... So I think I wont cry le next time even if I saw their faces and talk to them... I will chat with happy face and share all the things that happen with them...

I guess that's all for today... And maybe I wont be able to write blog everyday as my orientation is going to start on next Tuesday and I will be busy once my classes commence... And my daily ruotine will be almost the same I think... So, I guess after this the post wont be too much and will only post when something really interesting or worth-sharing events happened...

See ya and take care guys...

Keep in touch...

Travelling Around and Another Scaring experience

2008-02-24T16:40:00.000+11:00

23 Feb; Windy; Saturday

Today, me, sze kee, karmun, charlene, kia xin, irene and hui qing plan to go to travelling around Melbourne by using the Free Tourists Shuttle Bus... I woke up around 9.30am and was ready to go ou at 10am... I walked to College Square at Lygon Street to meet sze kee they all and we then heading to the free shuttle bus stop... After waiting for a while, the bus had reached and we started our journey to East Melbourne...

Our first stop is University of Melbourne which nearby there is Ian Potter Museum of Art. Next stop is Queen Victoria Market. We didnt get down the bus as we planned to travel the whole circle first then only go to Victoria Market to have a deeper look. Quite a lot of people there and it looks a bit like our pasar pagi... We then passed by William Street and there is the place where Immigration Museum located. Next, we arrived at Southbank. Southbank is really nice and worth coming... There are lots of beutiful and unique buildings and I promised myself will go there again to take tonnes of photos for you guys... Sorry ya, I have got no digital camera with me temporary and the bus was moving quite fast, I couldn't take photos for you all to have a look... Next time... I promised you all... It's really a nice place and we just passed through Yarra River (one of the famous river here in Melbourne). Yarra River is pretty clean and we saw some teams are playing raft there... We then passed by the Olympic Park where there is a big stadium that being used last time when Olympic was held in Australia (the driver did tell us when is it just that I forgot d, hehe)... Kinda cool the stadium and then we went through the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the La Trobe's Cottage... Basically, that's all and it's quite nice to have an overall looking at Melbourne...

We then travelled back to Victoria Market and it's around 3.30pm... They started to have their last call as the market is going to be closed soon... The vegetables and the fruits are being sold in extremely low prices... So, I bought extra big oranges 1kg for just $1... Quite wrth huh? Then 4 broncolli also $1 and I shared strawberry with sze kee and kia xin as 3 boxes for just $5... Apart form that, I also get 6 kiwis with $2... After a fun and rewarding shopping at Victoria Market, we were walking back to Lygon Street. Me, Irene and Hui Qing were heding to Safeway while the other going home. I bought pepper, salt, chilli sauce and soy sauce at Safeway... Then I walked back to my house...

When I reached my house, there was no one in the house and I guess everyone else is going out to have some fun as today is Saturday... I then changed my clothes and took them to wash downstair. After finishing the laundry, I went to cook my delicious dinner, Pai Kut Mee... Kinda nice and a lot... I watched Prison Break Season 3 while enjoying my dinner and after that I have some strawberries that I bought at Victoria Market just now. I then online and chat with Kang Ying and Choon Seng (now in NZ) for quite long... It's quite a tiring day for me as I did walk a lot today and so I decided to offline and rest myself...

Just when I was about to lay down, I saw my jean and I remembered that I have $300 in the left pocket. Then I found that $50 that I put in the right pocket is on my study desk but then I just can't found my $300. I went to check the pockets of my jean and there is nothing left. I was so nervous, it's $300 you know, not $3... I went down to check the laundry room and the kitchen as well... To my disappointment, I found nothing... I then asked one of my housemates whether or not he knew anyone else using the laundry room just now as I lost something... He said he just finished using it and what happened... I then told him that I lost $300 and he was shocked. He advised me to open an account and put the money there as they didnt bring that much cash with them... I told him that I already had my account just that I haven't get my ATM card only... He helped me to search around and found nothing as well... But then he promised me will ask the other housemates see whether they got found any money or not in the house as I am pretty sure that the money is still with me when I entered the house...

So, nothing else I could do... I started to think that why I am so unlucky, yesterday I was scared by the experience of fake phone lost... And how my money lost again... Will I be lucky again and will get back my money?! I guess not... I was so sad because as a scholar, I dont have much money to spend, and now I lost $300, it's aint a small amount, I could have bought a lot of necessaries with that money... Then I think maybe it's not that I unlucky, it's that I am forgetful and careless, I can't take good care of my own stuff and money as well... So I told myself I shall be more careful and alert to my things... But I can't do anything now, all my cupboards and bags had been searched by me but I just didnt found the money... Because of too tired, I decided to sleep and comfort myself that I maybe will be lucky again and found back my money tomorrow morning... Or one of the housemates will knock my door and say that he found my money...

So, that is what happened to me today... A money lost...

3rd day at Melbourne

2008-02-23T23:02:00.000+11:00

22 Feb; Sunshine; Friday

Today is my third day at Melbourne... I got to go to the Uni to enrol for my course... I woke up around 8.30am and went out of my house at 9.10am. I was walking to my Uni but then after half an hour, I sorted of found that I got the wrong way as some of the building I didn’t see two days ago... So, I tried to turn to another junction to other street. After referring to the tram route map, I got to know the correct way to my destination. Guess what?! I arrived at my Uni around 11am, but luckily still in time for my enrolment as my appointment is 11.30am... So, that’s my start of the day, get to walk more than one and a half hour in the morning... But, it’s good... I guess I will be a great walker at the end of the year... Hehe guys, when I got back to Malaysia, when we walk together, don’t blame me for walking so fast and leaving you guys all behind ya... Just kidding la...

So, back to the channel... I went to the Old Engineering Building (it’s not old at all, in fact it’s pretty nice and stylish; just that the outside looks a bit old and historical) to start my enrolment process. I went to the ITDC Theatre to select my subjects... I met Jeremy and we both went to the theatre together and a handsome senior led us to a room and gave us a questionnaire to be completed. After we completed the questionnaire, we just sat there and waiting... After about 20 minutes, we just knew that actually we need to go to the back of the room and queuing up for the enrolment... What la, we just wasted our time sitting there, luckily it wasn’t too long... At last it was my turn and I got to talk to an academic advisor to see which subjects I shall take...I enrolled in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering...So, as a student of Bachelor of Engineering, we have to take Engineering System Design 1 & 2 (that is the core subject). I also took Chemistry 1 &2, Mathematic 1 &2 and two other breadth subjects. Breadth subject is the subject that we need to take which is not related to our course... Just like if you are a science student, you will need to take art or commerce subjects as your breadth subjects or vice visa... So, I decided to take German Beginners Language and Culture as my breadth subject for semester one. Then semester 2 I will take Seeing: The Whole Picture as my breadth... The advisor told me that this subject is interesting and I am going to study about how human being thinking in this breadth... Cool huh?! But I also wanted to continue my German Language in semester 2... So, now it’s like in the middle of the road, not sure how yet... However, I did enrol for the Seeing subject first as I still can change my breadth later on...

After done with the selection of the subjects, I went to Computer Lab to complete my online enrolment... It’s basically just to update our personal details just in case we change the details... Some of the seniors are helping us there, so it’s not a problem at all... Next, I went to Wilson Hall to collect check my enrolment, collect my student ID (in which the enrolment staff took my picture and the picture is quite weird) and last but not least, get my OSHC card (Overseas Student Health Care). So the enrolment process is now officially done... Wow, so happy as everything is done and completed without any unexpected problems...

Then I went to Student Union building to buy my lunch... I ordered a Thai Fried Rice which cost me $ 6.00... I am ok with the price, just that the fried rice has got no taste at all (I guess the cook would like to save the soya sauce), but did have quite a number of prawns and 2 big cut of tomatoes. After having my lunch, Sze Kee and Karmun also done with their enrolment, I went back to their place at College Square (Lygon Street) as we will be going to Queen Victoria Market this evening just to see if we could found some cheap stuffs and fruits there. We then departed around 6.30pm heading to Victoria Market from Lygon Street. However, they wanted to have their dinner first and we then turned into Little Bourke Street where Chinatown located to have our dinner. We walked around the whole street and at last decided to eat at one China shop that sell Su Zhou,Hang Zhou and Szechuan cuisine. That’s why the name of the shop is SuHangChuan Restaurant. The food sold there is quite cheap, some chicken, duck or pork with big portion of rice will only cost you $ 6.00-$ 6.50, and it is more than enough for girls. I guess I could eat one set meal like that for two meals, hehe... But I just had three spring rolls as I did have a heavy lunch and not hungry at that time.

After our delicious dinner, we were then heading to Victoria Market. However, we were kind of lost and it started to rain but luckily it’s not heavy rain. After referring to the map several times, at last we reached our destination but the market is off already and we just can’t buy anything... It’s quite late d, so we decided to walk back. So, me and karmun them walked back by using different roads as I am not stay at the same place with them. After about 15 minutes walk, I arrived my house and went to have a nice hot bath as it was really cold outside because of the rain. Then only I realised that I didn’t miscalled karmun just to let her knew that I reached home safely. So, I tried to find my phone and wanted to make a call. To my surprise, I can’t found it. I then took out all the things inside my bag and still didn’t see my phone. I was so nervous and thought that this time I did really lose my phone d... How could I being so careless? Where did I drop it? I just could recall that maybe I drop it in the SuHangChuan Restaurant that we had our dinner. I then walked back to the Little Bourke Street quickly as I scared that the restaurant will be closed. When I reached there, luckily the restaurant is not off yet and so I asked the waitress that served us just now. She said they didn’t found any handphone and maybe it had been taken by the customers that came after us. But then she asked me to leave her my contact so that she could contact me if they found my phone... What a kind lady... Guess what?! I just changed to AUS SIM card that I bought yesterday and I couldn’t remember my own handphone number... Funny huh?! So I just gave her the address of my house and ask her to contact Dennis Teen (my accommodation in charge person). I then walked back to my house with disappointment thinking that now I have no choice but to sign the post-paid plan so that I could get a new handphone, however, it’s a two years contract. When I reached home, I asked for handphone to make a call to Karmun just to ask her whether my phone is at her place. Thank to my kind and helpful housemate... Karmun tried to call my phone and she said she did hear some vibration sound as my phone is in silent mode. Wah, I was so released when she said that she heard the vibration sound, this means that my phone is safe and with her now. I didn’t lost it... I cried immediately after I hang the phone. It’s a cry of happiness not sad... At that time, I promised myself to take more good care of my own stuff and I will be more appreciate my handphone now... I won’t think of changing it anymore, it’s my priceless accompany... Now only started to know the feeling that you lost something which is really important to you and when you got it back... (失而复得的感觉)

That’s all for today... Hope that everything will be alright and fine... My orientation will start on 26 Feb (next Tuesday), I do really looking forward for it...

2nd day at Melbourne

2008-02-23T22:54:00.000+11:00

21 Feb; Windy; Thursday

Today is my second day at Melbourne. I tried to walk to my Uni from my house as I am not use to the route yet... But after some while, I felt that it’s like wrong way d... So I asked an old woman and she told me how to get to my Uni... Thanks to her really much but I also kind of lost and can’t find my way... But then suddenly I saw tram which will go to my Uni, so I quickly get into it and bought my ticket... The price of the ticket is quite expensive; $ 6.50 for whole day no matter how many rides you go on; $ 3.50 for unlimited rides within two hours and $ 3.20 for one ride... But I got no choice since I am still not use to the road here and I need to be at Uni in time as I have an International Student Briefing today... So I get on the tram and luckily I get to my Uni just in time... That’s a good experience for me and now I knew some of the road here already as I did walk a lot these two days, hehe...

After the briefing, we went to the Commonwealth Bank in the Uni to open a new account so that JPA can bank in the allowance to us... Some of our friends already there when we reached and we were queuing for our turn... To my surprise, actually the way they work is just like Malaysian, not so efficient and fast (our public bank also faster than them)... But can’t really blame them as we took quite a lot of traveller cheque to them, they need to encash the traveller cheque first then only can help us to bank in to our new account. However, one difference is they are always smiling and so patient to help you up, not like officers in Malaysia, I guess they will bermuka masam if so many people asking them to do so many works...

Then, we went to a talk which gave us some idea about what Engineering is about and how it works for human being... The senior lecturer that gave us the talk (which I forgot his name d) is really fascinating about physics and engineering... After his talk, you will feel like “Yup, I did the correct choice for choosing Engineering... ” Then, Sze Kee and Karmun accompanied me to go to my accommodation office to take my house’s main door key (as I just got my room’s key when I arrived yesterday). While walking, we passed by one phone shop and we stopped to ask about what plan suitable for us to use here, but we didn’t sign up for any plan. Then we were moving to our destination and before we reached, we passed by the state library and Karmun them did take some pictures there... We were kind of lost then decided to give up and just call the office and ask how to go there... But we can’t just call like that as this will cost us a lot as we are still using Malaysia line... So, we decided to sign up for a plan so that our phone could be used. But we didn’t know what plan we should take as if we signed for the post-paid ($ 29 per month will get 120 minutes talks; of more than 120 minutes talk then will get pay according to the rate), we will get one new mobile phone but it’s a two years contract; if we were to sign up pre-paid, then it’s $30 for one month... Just like in Malaysia but then if you want to times the currency, then... In the end, we signed up for Optus Turbocharge Pre-paid. With this plan, $30 will give us the talk time worth $ 150, sound not bad huh?! Before I can call the person in charge, I activated my SIM, but it’s really ma fan and took a long time... Then I decided to call later and we just walking around, and reached China Town eventually... Kind of happy as we were not intended to go there... Walking around there and found one Chinese groceries shop. I bought rice 500g, scallop 150g, kee3 ji4 120g,a packet of Mary Biscuit and one packet of Maggie. All these cost me $ 15.45, still acceptable la... After the shopping, we went to have our dinner at Hungry Jack... I had a Whopper Junior Burger will cost me $ 3.00. Then we have some walks before going back.

I reached my house around 8pm and have a comfortable bath... Then I walked down to the kitchen and this is my first time to there as these two days I was so busy until I just got to my room and going out without exploring my house... Wow, the kitchen got microwave, big fridge, all sort of knives and gas. It’s so nice and I shall start my cooking next few days, hehe... I then boiled water using kettle and while waiting I turned on the TV in the kitchen... Wow again, I was so happy... Guess why?! I saw LOST, and it’s a brand new season (season 4)... So, I no need to go to download episode by episode, I can now watch one episode each week on Thursday night 9.30pm... Suddenly, a senior came into the kitchen and I again forgot what’s his name, and chatting with me... He told me where can get some cheap and fresh stuff... Before he leaved, he asked whether I already set up my internet connection. If I haven’t, I can go to ask the other seniors, Edward in Room 5. So, I just knocked his door and tried to discuss with him whether I can share the internet connection with him or not. At first, he seems like not really wanted to share with me as he said his download quota is almost finish and he may want to use it. But then he asked me am I going to download big file like movie or drama, if not then he can share with me... I don’t really plan to download movie at this moment, so at last I get to share the internet and I get to online... Wow, so happy...

I first logged on to MSN then chat with Putty, Li Ying and Choon Seng (friends in NZ now) and Sian Hong (friend in Malaysia)... While chatting, I wrote email and sent to everyone just to let them know that I am fine here for the last two days. Then, I checked all the mails in hotmail, yahoo, friendster and facebook account. I read the message that my sister sent me on the same day through friendster. Kind of touching my heart as I am now alone overseas and have to really take good care by myself... After that I just chatting through MSN with friends till around 1.30am and offline to sleep as I need to go to Uni tomorrow 11.30pm to do my enrolment...

That’s all for my second day here.

Departing and Aparting

2008-02-23T22:04:00.000+11:00

Today I will be flying to Melbourne but will first go to Sydney International Airport then transit using Qantas Airline to Melbourne... I was in my uncle's house yesterday night and today morning have to re-pack my luggage as JPA people said we can't bring 2 hand carry luggages as we have to transit and they are not sure whether Qantas Airline allowed 2 hand carry luggages or not. So to be on the safe side, we better just take one hand carry bag, if not you might have to throw your things at Sydney International Airport... After re-packing, my big luggage become even lighter, weird huh?! This is because I took out a lot of things and just bring the most important one... I then went to Sunway with my sister, brother-in-law and my sister's mother-in-law and my little nephew (my big brother's eldest son). We had some window shopping and we suddenly found one souveniers shop where the things sold there are all very unique and the price is quite reasonable... I bought two things (hehe, must keep as secret what I bought as I will be giving them as birthday presents to two of my best friends...) Then, we went to have some rest and had the delicious donuts at J.Co Donut & Coffee. The shop is quite famous but we were lucky today as not much customers there. Once before, I bought the J.Co donuts at Pavillion, I waited for more than one hour only got to buy the donut...

After that, it's around 3.00pm and we departing to KLIA as JPA officers asked me to be there around 4.30pm... My brother-in-law scared that I will be late as he said he is not so sure about the route to KLIA... But by using highway, we reached KLIA around 4.00pm... I saw some of my frineds already waiting there. I went ot chat with them a while then walking around the airport with my sister them. Later around 5.30pm, at last JPA officers showed out and told us what to do. We first checked in our kargo luggage and my luggage is about 25kg... Then we are free until 7.45pm we have to meet and have a briefing again. Me and my sister them went and had McD as our dinner. Just at the moment we finished our dinner and about to go, my mum and dad them reached airport already and met us at McD... I then went to the JPA briefing and after the briefing we only have 10 minutes to with family then we will have ot checked in d... So sad... But I still managed to control my tear... Having some talks with mum, dad, grandma and even my uncle... I saw sis started to have some tear in her eyes... I dare not to look at her as I scared I will also cry... I then called my 2nd Brother and told him that I am leaving d as he can't get to airport on time... When I talked ot him, I started to cry, I just can't stand anymore... But I quickly wipe it off... But later on I just can't control anymore, my tear just rolling down my cheek non-stop. Then I followed my friends checked in and said goodbye to my beloved family for the last time. We took a train (kind of like LRT) to the other tower where we got into our plane.

I was sitting at the window site with Szee Kee and Jacob. I was lucky as can sit with two of my friends, the others like seperated and sit with other poeple... This is my first time to be on the plane, feeling kind of nice and looking forward for the fly... At last the plane started to move and after some while, it started to fly upward and the wheels were being taken up... There is nothing special, I didnt even feel any discomfort as my mum told me that I might feel discomfort when to plane sharted to fly... This is a 7 hours flight and I watched Game Plan in the plane and had 2 meals (one extremely late supper and one light breakfast)... Around 9.30am (Australia Time), I arrived at Sydney International Airport and waitting to pass the custom... We then went to take our big luggages and went to get our Qantas flight ticket... Taking a bus drive by a girl driver, we got to our plane and fly to Melbourne. After about one and a half hour flight, we reached Melbourne at 3.00pm (Australia time). There is a JPA officer, Pn. Haslina waiting for us. She then helped us to arranged transport to get to our accommodation respectively.

When I reached my house (Balmoral House), I rang the door bell and there were two people came to open the door for me... We get to know each other and one of them helped me to carry my 25kg luggage to my room (second floor), so kind and helpful... I then rushed out and took a taxi to Malaysian Hall as we had another briefing there with JPA officers. Malaysian Hall is quite far from my place, should said our palce... The briefing is basically asked us to behave here and get a good result and how to take care of ourselves... The best thing is that we get to eat dinner for free and is home-cooked Malaysian food. So, that Nasi Briyani and chicken was my first meal at Melbourne... Then we went back to our accommodation by tram with the help of our seniors as we still blur blur about the route of the tram...

When I got back to my house, it's already 12am something... But I still need to unpack my things... So I slept around 1.30am that night... Then tomorrow I will need to go to Melbourne Unoversity for the International Students Briefing...

Basically, that's my first day at Melbourne... It was kind of rush and pretty tired...

Hope everything will be fine and I could settled down and get used to the life here.
