Rainy day..heavy workload

hmm..is dat a good combination? that seems to suggest to me a gloomy day...but well..my study progress was delayed once again as i start surfing the internet..dat is wut happen when i come online..well..jus a break or so..

its raining now..i use to like the rain when i can get a good nap at home in my warm bed..but dat couldnt happen now coz i need to study..in fact, it brought me back to memories when i view my friendster n photos..dis time its gonna be a different feeling for being home after all those things that happened during this period...rest is all i need..

yup, im again sitting alone at home..wondering wut has kept me strong n motivate me to move on in my life all dis time...yea..its my frens and family...how should i put it? there are my spirit-candy..haha..sounds weird..but yea..i miss home again..not long i guess..i will be back home..

n while scrolling through the photos, i realise dat many of us have changed..our looks, our life and even frenship could have changed within these years...i agree...we cant avoid changes in our life altou i do hope that sometimes things dun happen..but all we could do is just to treasure wut we have now...this is life...

Last day of uni for sem 1...reflection...

time flies...dis is no doubt...*blink* blink* and there u go..its the end of the learning period for sem 1...but of coz...its not all end yet...i still hav to battle with 4 evil exams before i can declare finishing the course for sem 1...u koe how it normally works when u play any games...when u reach the final stage...u need to battle some monster before u can declare victory ..n dats the same situation im facing now..mayb im not suppose to blog durin dis intense period..but well..i think today is kinda a memorable day...its time to reflect...

from the 1st day of uni...introducin ourselves to new frens in class and starting on our course by swtichin our holiday mode back to study mode...n now...exam mode...n soon...back to holiday mode..lol..it all happen like a cycle...

among all d classes i have for dis semester, Microeconomics, Quantitative Method 1, LMR and PPL...guess i will miss PPL the most...n its also my last lesson for today despite i dun feel like its the end yet..mayb bcoz i enjoy the company of my frens in the class and of coz i like the lecturer the most among all...i like Jackie, my lecturer..she is really benevolent n nice...n most importantly, she teaches well and helps us a lot in our studies...besides Jackie, it will be my gang of frens...Wendy and Yoland..perhaps...3 of us are the noisiest Asians in the class...actually,PPL was the class that i koe no one before on the 1st day of uni yet i get to meet many amazing frens in there...both Wendy and Yoland are local Asians and we hav fun studyin together..esp Wendy..without her guidance, i guess i will b lost in the entire subject...n yea..i will definitely miss of our weekly study group sessions....and also..my other girlfriends, Yuqi and Eliza...oh yea, the boys..haha...thou we dun hang out always but they r very friendly..yes..Asians..my first fren in class..the guy whom i introduced to the class-Kevin, and Edward,En Lai, Felix etc...

well, other than that i guess LMR is second..but i dun quite like the class mayb bcoz it disappointed me at the very 1st wk of classn oso the lecturer..yea i fail my first class exercise n was asked to attend some workshops for help...but anyhow, i hav great frens there as well..not so much of the internationals..they r jus ok except for David- freaky guy..lol..beat me in the election! but i guess he is more competent than me to take the position..so nvm..yea..im sayin bt d locals in my class dis time...Andrew, Alexjandra (great help from her), Alice and Tehilla (the gals are also in my PPL class) ^ ^.

commerce...erm..not too much to mention..well..mayb Monica and Adam..my new frens in my micro n Qm tute...other than that...all other frens are jus like a 'Hi and Bye' fren, if not, they r mostly my trinity frens..but dat doesnt mean i dun treasure my frenship wiv them..mayb we need more time to koe each other..oh yea...my lunch hang out frens..Christine n Irina..Irina is yet another brilliant gal besides Jess who is doin well for both comm n law..Salute them! i will try to do better next sem..hehe

dis is uni..u cant stay wiv the same ppl for the entire course..u meet new ppl when a new semester starts but hopefully..all dis frenships could last coz they are all really nice people that i met in uni..n dis is why..im not so much of frensick dis year but..i still miss u ppl in Msia...there is no doubt for dat..k then..gota start studyin now..all my frens are workin so hard..i dun wana be behind..i mus add oil as well..lolx..

All the best to all my frens in uni for their exams and hopefully i can be in the same class wiv them in future ! Good luck :)

Unexpected and unbelievable...

OMG!! today is yet another freaky day..sth really unexpected and unbelievable happened to me..its not anythin bad..but its about my LMR CaseNote assignment..yes..its one of the heavy and stressful 50% law assignment i did over the easter break...

this is wut happen today...

tick tok tick tok...the clock strikes 1pm n signals the end of today's PPL seminar...everyone seems to be in a rush..and disappear from the class...me, on the other hand, was takin my own time packin my stuff coz deep inside me..my heart is pumping really quickly...why is everyone in a rush? yes..they all have rushed upstairs to collect their casenotes...tryin to calm myself...vivien n i made our way upstairs..there..you see the beeline at the counter...everyone is so worried...n u c ppl comin out wiv their casenote...some casting a smile..some jus show no expression...n me, freakin scared of my results, standing in the queue wiv yoland, vivien, jess n madeleine, clutchin tight on my jacket..hopin to calm myself down. im so worried till i stunt at the middle of the queue and yoland had to pull me forward whenever the queue proceeds....

"Next!!" gosh..its my turn...freaky...i pass my student card to the assistant n stated my lecturer's name...(receive the paper)...clutchin tight on d paper again...so afraid of checkin my marks...frens hav been askin me abt my performance..n i jus answer.."errr...i haven check" while havin d paper wiv me for almost 5 mins...at last, vivien gave me the gut to flip on to the last page where the mark is...n OMG!!...i cant believe wut i saw written on my paper...dis is utterly out of my expectation...thou its not a H1...but to me, its like heaven...i have neva expected to get a H2B...all i wanted is jus a pass...PPL is oredi a credit to me...n now...LMR has shocked me wiv a greater achievemt...i had tears in my eyes...happy tears....after all those hard work...somehow..i feel that all my effort and time is finally paid off...all those stress i endured while doin my assignment, its all worth it...and actually im expecting to do better in PPL since i spent more time on it and had only a week for LMR....

dis is all so unbelievable...n i really wana thank those who hav help n support me wiv my studies all dis time..without you all, i wouldnt hav made it...gosh...still can believe it...lolx..

And another great news is that dis time...all 3 of us passed!! really jie da huan xi...im so happy...finally 3 of us can celebrate our success together...to get high marks or low marks doesnt matter to us in law coz all we want is a PASS! n there u go...we did it my pals!! :)

today is really a rewarding day for me and i treated myself dinner at Chinabar...yea..its not great food but i seldom dine out...recently, i jus dun hav time to cook...meals are rather simple for me..but dis wont b long coz mom will b arriving soon...n good food will be served..lol!

dats it for my unbelievable encounter wiv LMR, and congrats once again to all my frens who passed...esp shan..it must be a great moment for her coz PPL has really disappointed her..but anyhow, i believe that we all can do it...so no worries and cheers!!

Soup kitchen..:)

hmm..went out for lunch with the girls again...gezz, yi ching, ruixi, avril, yi lin n jac. its good to hang out with them..at least for that moment..all stress n worries are thrown away...today we went to some 'ulu' place, hiding in a small lane of the melb city..but its cool...n amazingly, there is dis area where the walls are all filled with graffiti..nice! i din take any photos of it..mayb next time i guess...


so, we went to dis soup kitchen for lunch..soup is their specialty..they hav abt 10 kinds of soup at the kitchen n we ordered 7 bowls to share...well, the soup are not as tasty as it looks ..n the thai laksa wan is most disappointin..at 1st i tot i wont feel full by jus drinkin d soup..but the bread n the cauliflower cheese cream soup was filling..n u koe wut ppl like us did...each bowl of soup is entitled oni to 2 pieces of small bread..but bcoz we were sittin upstairs..n far from the sight of the kitchen..we 'steal' bread from the basket at the counter..haha..n for ur info..the basket was full when we arrived but when we leave...lol..oni half a basket of bread was left...shh...guess the waitress din notice dat when we left..


there is always a cost to everything..yes..the opportunity cost of the lunch outing was dat the whole afternoon or perhaps the whole daytime was lost...i din study at all..so probably..i gota work till late tonite..anyway..we need to relax sumtimes...there r always a whole load of work waitin for us to do...so, gambate then! hopefully, my hard work will be paid off at the end of the semester...cheers!!

Relief? nah...

well well..today i received my most fearful micro econs essay back..thank god it didnt disappoint me..so dat means i still have a chance in getting a H1 for my econs...gota really work hard...another week is goin to end soon..n this signals dat exams r in approx. 2 weeks time..im seriously frantic n panic now...but well, my family was telling me-as long as i try my best, everythin will b fine..i hope so...recently, i jus miss my family so much..called sis to chat jus now..it was pretty cool...n i feel relax...i feel the support i have back home...yes..i hav to stay strong n get thru the exams...

today i actually run for a position as the 1st year rep in an election but i din win..nvm..its a good experience thou..i realise dat im really shy when givin a speech in front of the public...so not me..speaking so softly..mayb i shud train myself to be a better public speaker next time..anyway, sth really bad happen...how shud i put it? there is kinda a fight durin the election..not physically thou..there is dis guy who is disqualified from the election bcoz of his late submission..he jus dash out in the middle of the election and snatch the mic and express his anger n dissatisfaction of his disqualification and in d end, the chaos can only b settled with the help of a security guard...well, i was terrified and shock by the incident dat i cant concentrate in my next lesson...i so wana go home to take my medicine at dat time or at least get a cup of warm water (dats how my mum use to calm me)..for those who duno, i cant take any shock or extreme incidents like 'tamparan hebat', i will feel very sick...luckily today it was jus for a while but i still dun hav the mood to work on durin class...

anyway, now dat all assignmts are done, i gota concentrate fully on studies oredi...exam is jus ard the corner...im back on track in my commerce subjects...kinda feel relief..at least i koe wut is goin on in both econs n qm not as blur anymore...as for law, i still hav abt 200 pages of readings to catch up..well, will finish dat soon..

hopefully, i wont get distracted by anythin from now till exams coz time is running out..n i need to study...all the best to everyone who is goin to have exams soon...

n congrats to shan for being elected as the treasurer of ILSS :)

Something INTERESTING to share...esp with Shan n Jess

haha...dis is from tm n i....wut does MABO stands for? why is it so significant to the Australians?

After reading and pondering about it, we finally came to a conclusion..k..tm din read it but even he, not being a law student koes how it feels when u read the case...

this is because (no other reason but this)...

MABO simply means Massively Awesomely BORRINGGGG! (copyright reserved..haha)


BOOO~

so now u get me? its proven by its name that the case is no fun at all...awesome to the Australian indigenous people but BORING to the readers....


so wut shall i do with it? i cant ignore it...its part of the exam....*sigh*

Night out with Spiderman

I tot i would have just stay at home yesterday nite coz i was kinda moody and down...im not sure of the reason y i feel so...but i guess its juz sth missing upon my success for my PPL essay...yea..lc n tm i pass my essay...(guess u ppl may tot i fail since i din online)...i wasnt at home actually...feeling weird and distracted...i was supposed to be happy becoz i did better than i've expected...on the other hand, there was some incomplete-ness in d process...among the 3 of us...shan din manage to strike the evil PPL down...and sumhow...i feel sad 4 shan bcoz all of us hav been working so hard for it...and she is jus almost there (hope she is feelin better now, i try to help but i din koe how to console her)...but as i said...my sadness wasnt bcoz of the essay...its just dat sth is missing dat hold my feelings back..i guess mayb its sth dat i haven let go dat bothers my feelings (afta chatting wiv gezz, its not PMS..)

well well..enough of sadness...i called mum when i din koe wut to do when i was in such a state...n she asked me to go out for a nite to relax my mind so dat my mood could be better...and there, gezzel invited me to join her for dinner and Spiderman 3...so i tot i shud give it a try to c if it helps to heal my soul...

spiderman 3 was a great movie and i enjoyed it...i dont know how to comment on movies...but as long as i enjoy it...it will be a good movie...and a moral is somehow made out of the movie....its about choice:

" we all have a choice to choose wut we wanna do, and we always have the chance to do the right thing in our life."

And also, the movie tells abt the value of forgiveness and friendship...

so, in the end, it was a meaningful movie to me....

(* i miss the warm and comfortable hug i once had...)

Jessie's bday dinner @ University Cafe

yesterday was jessie's birthday and we went to have dinner together to celebrate her birthday....no cake...but i think the meal is really luxurious...and..the food taste ok....guess everyone is satisfied...hehe....






the food we ordered..mainly pastas....we had mussels, calamari salad as well...


jessie is one of my very best fren in melbourne and i've learned a lot from her....especially in econs really wana thank her for all the help she gave me in my studies...if not..i wouldnt have survive in da subject named economics...of coz..we share joy and laughter and enjoy havin lunch together every week...lol


well, lets let the pictures speak for itself..this was how the night went...9 amazing gals..having dinner and chatting along...




No need for me to tell..guess you ppl can figure out who is jessie...yes..the girl with presents...and it was so freaking cold yesterday nite...after the dinner, i was so tired..didnt do anythin..jus bathe and went to bed straight..mayb i hav been working too much recently...and yes..the good news is..i completed my QM homework and handed it in today...so yea...1 more group assignmt to go and then i could fully concentrate on my exam prepration...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For now, let me declare the week as the MABO week..(read carefully...its not MAMBO...so its no fun at all)...MABO is the leading case for the indigenous ppl in Australia...great case and great decision...but then it causes me to suffer....y?..becoz i gota read more than 100 pages of its judgment...haihz...kk...time to kick off...enough of relaxation....

Econs Essay Done! but...

Yeah! i am done with my econs essay finally..actually it was delayed for 2 days..suppose to finish on sunday but din manage to...editing...n paraphrasing..yea..dat takes me time...

BUT...on the other hand...i kinda feel worried...coz i feel that i am not thinking and analyzing at all...evryone is doin some interesting topic...but me?...im doin the same old lame topic - POLLUTION..well..mayb it is a lil different as mine is acid rain - a specific kind of pollution...but all the solutions for pollution are the same and they are all discussed in the textbooks..im spoon-fed with info n representing them in my essay...unlike others..they actually think and apply their knowledge to new topics...haihz

i chose the topic bcoz i din wana waste time thinking of solutions for hard topics...n i koe if i cud manage to present the new topic well..i will get extra credit but i hav to admit dat im not dat good...i am always a slow thinker..time is running out.. i cant waste anytime more...i feel bad now...my essay is so not original (not original in d sense dat its not a new topic..not dat i copied everythin)...hope dat i can still score well wiv d topic..i cant afford to do badly in da subject anymore...
