Results are out. Summer has commenced yet life has not been interesting.

Holidays are always the most anticipated times of my life. Nevertheless, being the 'workaholic' me, doing nothing and staying at home just doesnt work. In fact, it may kill me at any point of time.

Thankfully, the first two weeks of holidays are bearable and filled with meeting ups with friends and attending graduations..yet this would not last for long when my dearest frens who have successfully graduated from Melbourne Uni (so proud of them) are leaving the country...I would be quite lonely..

And then I began to think to myself that this is such an irony in life because we always complain that time is never sufficient for studies and wanted time to go by slowly..but when you have ample time or rather extra time, you tend to want time to fly so that life could get better without the boredom that is killing you slowly..

Aah...i guess this is probably because its just so hard to get a job in Melbourne around this time..Yea yea, I admit that I stayed because I thought I want to take a break from my internships and have a good rest.. yet in the end, am here looking for a job to occupy my time..

Well well at least, this holiday, I've found the joy of baking and cooking..thanks to my thoughtful bf who got me 2 recipe books to play around with this holiday..Otherwise, I will really be bored to death..

Haha..Ritey, guess I would sign off with a pic of me and Nana baking our very sinful peanut butter cookies then :P

3rd Year Law/Comm Done!

One more paper and I shall call it a DONE to my 3rd year Law/Comm uni life..well provided that I PASS all my exams..fingers crossed..there have been many challenges to the exams this time and for once, I cant guarantee a complete PASS to all my papers..Not because I didnt work hard enough but the subjects are just not my cup of tea and i know that I have given my 100% to do well in them so hopefully my hard work would be paid off...

Soon..I would have to learn to stay alone during this Summer period with the heat surrounding me and survive for the two months of summer in Melbourne..and awaiting the return of my love ones..yes, I have become dependent yet I gota learn to be independent once again..at least for these two months..

Yes, I am not returning to Malaysia for this Summer and wanting to experience the HEAT in Melbourne..oh well maybe its not too good an idea..but when a decision is made, it is made..not going home this holiday...

I guess I will do fine but no doubt I will miss my love ones very much...

Till then, and wish me luck for my final Contracts paper..

Its Spring Holiday!

Yup...finally am all done with my MSTs and assignments and am left only with the final exams..but with the speed of time drifting away..I assume that will come very soon as I was told that the exam timetable will be relased in a week or so time...SCARY!

For the whole 3 years, this is the first holiday which I have done nothing academic for a whole complete week and feasting all the way..seriously, soon, I will be back to square one with my body as I have been eating so so Much..sigh...

And the sad thing is..I have completely lost my study mood/ohm...wutever u call it..as a result of not touching my books for ONE Week..how sad is that...I really have to pick that up very soon coz I am so so behind for my studies...near to screwed u may say..

but but..I have been baking a lot this semester and I have managed to bake my very first cheesecake all by myself! Yummy~ but but there is still room for improvement though..hehe..

The reason am blogging is because I am procrastinating..this is how sad I can be when I had too much fun in a holiday...One more week till the uni starts again and I cant wait to head on my first ever holiday trip with my dearest and bestie...

Cheers and Happy Spring Holiday Everyone!

Contracts Take Home Exam is over and now am down with my FA Mid Semester Test and EPM Group Assignment before I could have a good break for myself again..

Its seriously unbelievable how time flies and its already Week 6...

Recently, some things have happened and I finally realise how important it is for me to treasure and appreciate what my loved ones have done for me..whether its family, love or friends...I have learnt a lot and know that somehow I have to be more mature in life...

While studies are important to me, I guess there are much more things that are more important than that...

And I really want to thank those who brought me to all these realisation...

Life is different as it seems when you turn 21 and yes, I am still trying hard to be a better person in life :)

Yet another Take Home Exam...

I guess this blog will now be the place i ramble about my uni life, assignments, exams, society work maybe...the stress is coming all bac despite I jus came bac from my 1 month holz..

time passes quite quickly..in a little more than a weeks time, its gona be September! I still rmbr the day when I was presented with a little surprise at the start of the month and now its gona be the start of another month...

Scrap that all..the main point is..Janet Tham is stressed by her take home exam once again..Last sem, Obligations, this sem, Contracts, nex sem Evidence and Proof..your life span can be reduced by all d stress you face as a law student..

Oh..I realise different people spend their time differently doing different things..maybe this is not so hard to realise..but I myself have been doing more stuffs than I normally do...busy busy bee..many things to take care of and balance up in life..

But for now, I jus want to finish my take home exam..so far so good..but I dun know y..I gota feeling that its not of a good quality...hopefully I have some time to do some quality editing..

EPM is killing me in a way and I need to learn to love that subject before I screw it further...

Alrite then, Ta!

Swot Vac

And u ask wow, SWOT VAC? So soon?!

Let me tell u this, today is the LAST DAY OF SWOT VAC...isnt time scary? And this Swot Vac, I had a very different experience and I hope that it is all for the Good..

Its raining out there and am sitting in my room having a little break by myself before I get into the zone again and start mugging..I still remember, usually at this time, i will be stressing out and feeling to kill myself..but today, am sitting here calmly n blogging..

Tomoro is the day of the EXAM..how soon and I dont even know if I am prepared to face it..

So yea, fingers crossed and wish me luck...

This swot vac has been very unique on its own..at least I dont feel dat stress anymore...

Mom will be glad to know that...

And yes, I cant wait for this to be over...

Admin, u better be good since I've spent most of my time on you and to ACE and Corp Fi, I know u both love me and so treat me well..Obs, u have placed immense pressure on me but we both still love each other right?

So yea, Janet is going to GAMBATE this EXAM !!!

To everybody who suffers the same fate as me, GOOD LUCK for ya EXAMS!

Aja Aja Fighting!!!

At least something is motivating me for now...coz I've received my very first ever 21st Birthday Present..hehe..Yes, its none other than the lovely MARC JACOBS DAISY Parfum..I've got the Gold one coz its scent is more longlasting than the normal one...Hehe..this is gona be my new love when i turn 21!

Counting down to the BIG DAY!!...:)

When Take Home Exam Strikes...

Week 12 is approaching and my take home Obligations Essay has been released at 1pm yesterday. My first piece of take home assessment. And a couple of things happened on Friday itself.

My day started all well and I've got some errands run. And just before I get to read the essay question, a phone call rang and told me how difficult and tricky the question is, warning me of the consequences of not putting enuf effort in it..Yes..its freakin 30%..and I have NO clue how to work on it coz its scope is just too broad and I have not be on par with my readings and studies for Obligations...Stress began to build up and I started blasting music to de-stress and later on..someone soothe me..and the day went well with a nice dinner with sis and friends and then again, the nite ends with more discussion about the assignment..

Wake up the next morning, with my heart still pumping and worrying, hoping to get some things done today..yet..I dont seem to be productive..while on the other hand, I received notifications in Facebook saying that people has actually finished writing their essay and having a good time..OMG! That makes me think how hopeless I can be as a law student, not to mention a future lawyer..

Geez...geez..I am so worried..I need the constant reminder of my frens just to push me for this one last time so that I would not screw any of my law assignments and exams this semester!

So fingers crossed and hope that I could get thru this very soon..Inspirations and Intelligence..Please come to me very soon :)

Thank you.

Exam Alert!!

Janet Tham gota blast her mind out with music so that she can get out of this misery as soon as possible and stay FOCUS in her studies (cannot emphasize dis anymore!)!

She gota be awaken from this before anything could happen to her results!

Coz EXAM TIMETABLE is out and time is running out! I guess it is time to put a stop to all these things...coz it is not worth a gamble to my studies..

Stress is virtually building up from deep inside and yes, the library is starting to get crowded..

Geez..wish me luck and constantly, plz, if u ever see me doing unnecessary stuffs, remind me of EXAMS and i will study hard!

Had my Witness Examination Competition yesterday nite, and yea, it was a great experience and to some extent, gives u a real taste of being a lawyer..Thanks to Wei Yan for her willingness to work this with me and thanks for her outstanding performance though in the end, we didnt manage to proceed to the next round..but yea, it was the process that is FUN! And yea, Peter would have enjoyed the moment brushing up my witness skills by tricking me here and there and getting stupid answers back from me! You wouldnt want to see how stupid I am when I answer his cross-examination questions.LOL. Anywayz. Thanks to all who helped! :)

Am gona start my day well and hopefully, all things will go well and smoothly from now on.

Cheers!

p/s: I need my symbiosis partner, Miz Yong Gezzel to get me pumped up for exams! Otherwise, its quite hard to get me settle down I guess...*shoot self*

Am done with Midsems!

YAHOOOooooo!!!!! OMG! Am finally done with my TWO Midsems!!!

Geez..imagine studying for the same subject for one WHOLE week over and over again...u can basically get bored with it..and I hope that all the effort I placed in studying the subject will be paid off- it better be!- coz just when am done and celebrating my freedom from the Midsems...the Midsems results for ACE is released..I wonder if this has the same effect with the announcement of a dividend and the share price..coz u just cant disentangle the effect of it..Yes! This is how bad I can be when I've been going thru the material for too many times..I will try to relate everything to the Corp Finance I learn..Argh!

But chill chill..the ACE results was only releaased and checked when Janet is back from all her celebrations with her friends..and f*** it..no one did well in it (maybe Eleanor was the genius exception) and Janet almost screamed when she saw her results..OMG! My H1 is at threat and law is doing so badly on its own.. Alamak! Dont care..this post is about celebration!


So so I did get my all time craved cheesecake to reward myself after Mid-Sems. Courtesy of my dear fren who actually got me the yummy-licious cake from the Cheesecake shop..Haha..very the sinful and fattening..but i dun care..i deserve to be rewarded...hehe :)

We've actually got half of the cheesecake and this is my portion left after having some for teatime right after exam :)

And on Sunday, me n sis went for some retail therapy and shopping for my 21st birthday dress..Woosh..imma gona hold a joint party with my dear fren, Irina in Melbourne before I touch down in Malaysia to celebrate it BIG with my frens n family in Malaysia...So people, await for ya invitations! :) Its gona be HUGE!

A Beautiful Mess- Jason Mraz

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
and dont mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take theses
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But its nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

:)

I guess not everyone will succeed in the game, it just depends on how you take each and every moment you had...

One asked if its over, yet again you cant tell deep from your heart whether its over... coz you are still awaiting for the long gone smile you once had and hope that all is for real...

Love this song totally <3

P/s: Yesterday's concert was a blast and I agreed with shirlynn, A Beautiful Mess was a bomb yesterday nite..It was also a good experience of an Australian concert....

MST tomoro..Wish me luck :)

Quote Jason Mraz:

Row row row a boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily, life is but a dream...

*Rows off to studies*

Till then!

My Easter Break!!!

*BROAD SMILE*

I couldnt have said more to my Easter holiday this year! Not as usual for once, it was a BLAST and yet again, an unprecedented busy schedule for the month! Ouch to my studies!

It all started with the ALL-so-amazingly-FUN and CRAZY- LAW BALL of the year!!! Yes, it was my first time going to the ball and I had so much fun with my friends..But I would have to comment dat the music isnt dat great but that basically didnt bother me much and I jus had fun throughout the night! And as the clock strikes 12 on dat nite, Phey Shan turned 21!!! Massive!How great is that to celebrate ur birthday on such a great occasion..Dancing and partying with everyone..!! I for one will wana celebrate my 21st that way! 2+ months more and Janet Tham is gona be 21!!! Hehe...

~Me and the Gorgeous Birthday Girl~

And following the massive occasion are a series of catch ups and dinings at great places which then again filled up my schedule though I din get to really travel out this easter like some of my frens..nevermind i shall do dat mayb in Sept...

Despite all the fun, moi gota sacrifice some of her outings to study for MID SEMS :S How potong stim this can be to my easter...and when you are enjoying so much fun in d holiday, it will b such a torture to bring yourself to the library and start mugging ur way through..Oh well, what to do...I would say that am lucky enough to have both my MID SEMS spreaded over 2 weeks so at least i can have ample time to study for them..but seriously, am kinda worried abt my progress since I haven been working very hard on my studies for dis semester..Aiks! Am having too much fun edi!

SO SO SO ..have to really settle down..I guess i say dis in each and every of my post yet life can still be happening for me...Oh yea, submitted my admin assignment on d day of law ball itself..gosh...fingers crossed..I hope I did alrite and din screw it..if not, my law exams are gona b at risk again..

Dine at a really nice restaurant with Gezzel and Ching and surprisingly, the bill didnt burn a hole in my wallet...Hehe..check this out..

Yet again good moments neva last long and sweet memories will just add a smile to my day...

I know it would not repeat itself but am glad I once had the happiness :)

Am missing my guys and gals in Malaysia as well! OMG!

Gona stay strong and Work Hard!!! Gambate!

TGIF! :)

Right, TGIF sounds so great and Janet Tham is feeling excited about it!

But wait a second, Janet Tham is not quite herself dis few weeks..not quite herself as a student who goes to uni..more like a student who is still on her summer vacation...BAD BAD BAD....even her bestie notice dat n start warning her not to ignore her studies...

Seriously, god knows y am so occupied these days..yea I've got the ILSS careers dinner to work on but i also have many many meet ups and outings to go do..and u ask how abt assignments and readings...erm erm...this..I yet to fit it into my diary..coz u jus dont wana look at it...

Proscratination plus outings >>> what can you get apart for unimpressive results in the end??

Mom is not gona be happie to know of my life now..and sis is starting to complain that am not working as hard as I should be...

So so ..yeayea..starting from this weekend, plz plz plz Janet Tham you have an assignment due before your much anticipated law ball and easter holz!

Frenzie plz remind me that!

And yes, am so busy till I havent got time to catch up with my dearest Sue Faye about her new home and ALL! Argh! So SORRY!!


*Life has to be more organised before it loses its grip*- this phrase is playing a more and more important role in reminding me of my studies and role as a student...Aiks!

Ritey, hope to get some studies done from now on!

Looking at the brighter side...

Hello People! Just thought that I should blog and inform everyone that I am back to my usual self and not being emo and frustrated anymore..

But then again, that blog make me realise that there are so many friends that actually care for me and thank you for all those comforting messages and sms :) Am totally fine now with all your love and blessings ;)

Nevertheless, my mood is still swinging around at times but dun worry, I will stay positive and be happy at all times.

Just finished my online exercise for Admin..ahh..reading statutes..quite boring actually..but thank god I've completed the module for the week.

Went for some retail therapy yesterday with sis and Irina and I would say am almost all set for the Law Ball am attending! Woohoo! That sets the party mood up but before that I will have to get through my law readings and assignments and commerce subjects arent being friendly as well..tough time!

Birthday parties are coming up each and every week and I wonder if I can cope with my studies if am gona appear in each and every birthday party..Anyways, will definately find time to have some fun outta the mundane study routine.. Hehe..

Till then! Cheers!

Pfft!!

This shows how one's day can be pretty vulnerable to circumstances around you..

Yesterday was an all good day....fresh and cheerful...with every moment being fun and happy..

And today..you can just have a 360 degree change to the mood tone..or rather I would say, before the incident, everything was still at the positive tone..Geez...Now I miss the someone who will just let me release all my angerness...yea..the someone who will allow me to do anything to to make me feel good..Oh well...

YES, I need my comfort..someone...not some salt over my wound..

Oh gosh!!

I gota chill..chill..chill..*breathe in breathe out*

OMG!

P/s: Yea..I do realise that I get frustrate very easily..even over things that cant be repaired no matter how frustrate I get..Aiks! Gota be a better person in this...

Aloha Melbourne :)

Following the last post of farewelling my bro, dis time its me farewelling Malaysia for the XX times..haha..no feeling already..3 months of holz did make me miss my life in Melbourne in a way..haha..Though am excited and happy to be back to Melbourne, my body is protesting now :S

Uber Slack and Lazy..Hibernate for the whole nite when I first came back...guess the life back in Malaysia is too good for me..now am back to the independent self..everything has to be handled by myself..from Groceries to Admin stuffs (Bills) to Studies and the unpacking of luggage ...Lotsa stuffs to do..Am jus gona handle them one to one..Afta all, week ONE for me is still holiday..LOL..

Cant wait to meet my pals back at uni! Yahoo! Uni here I come!

Yes I gota be more semangat before I get slack again..:S

Farewell..

I find myself feeling the sadness only at the moment when my loved ones are leaving me..

A year and a half ago, I was back in Melbourne when my bestie is leaving to UK to further her studies..the thought of her not being there in Malaysia when am back hurts..and I was really sad and emo for some while...

And now, just today, my dearest brother has left to UK for his exchange..and I have to admit, this time around, we havent spend much time together mainly because he is busy preparing for his exams and am busy working..but am grateful that I get to spend the last 2 days with him before having to bid farewell with him..Though its only for one semester, but the idea of him being far far away from me is uneasy..

Oh well oh well..I've gota say that am a person who cant accept the fact of my love ones leaving me..afta all, these are the people who are alwis by my side..giving me the support and love I needed..my bro and me, especially are very close. Though we are only god-bro and sis, our relationship throughout these years is no different from those real siblings :) Plus the idea of him not being there for my 21st bday this year is quite disappointing..but nvm, his promise of a great prezzie for this year is keeping me motivated...and myself also, will have to save up quite an amount of money to get him his 21st prezzie...apparently the challenge is quite an expensive item..lol..

I still remember reading his post 3 years ago, the post when am about to leave Australia for Trinity..am sure he felt the same when I was leaving..perhaps I shudnt be dat selfish and wanting him to be by my side, afta all i am the one who left him for Australia few years ago..

Right, I shall not be sad and emo anymore, coz very soon, I will be meeting my loved ones..Hope my bro will have a great experience exchanging in UK....and am planning a trip for myself to visit my darling Sue Faye in Dublin one day..Anticipating..hehe..:)

Okok..Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

:)

Its amazing how someone can change their perception towards someone in such a short time ...

And its scary when you realise that people are just not like what you think they are...

The world seems dim when you can no longer differentiate who is real and who is fake...

All these symptoms contribute to only one philosophy, and i call it the philosophy of the society..

I guess studying Sociology is not too bad itself, coz in the subject, you study how the society acts and works and slowly, u will learn to know people in a better sense and most importantly, to know how to survive in this society...

I would say that I have learnt much during my internship, not only about my work but about people, dun misunderstood, I have no bad experience in my working place and the above did not occur, jus that I feel that am inferior compared to my colleagues and i realise that I've gota know more about this world..about all the happenings in this world..coz only this way, I will be a better person...

I've always know the lesson mom is trying to teach me and is alwis trying hard to lead a better life..2009 will be a chance for me to grow..and I guess this shall be one of the change I hope to see in me..

I know this post is very random..but suddenly, I jus have this thought..Sounds deep I know but I guess this is the path that everyone needs to get through..

CNY is near soon..and am looking forward to some enjoyment since I do not have to work for the next whole week! Yahoo!

And today, I would say, is the happiest day I had in my office..it was so great to have lunch and cakes with my fellow colleagues..finally we got to be together and have some relaxing moments, scrap the intensity and stressful work! Even time went on faster when happy moments are around :)

Apple Crumble..Yum Yum :P

Hehe..when I mention about apple crumble..u guys would probably think that I had had a great apple crumble dessert at some restaurant...Oh well, its not a restaurant this time but its a kitchen!

Yes! Its Janet's Home Kitchen..LOL

It was my first baking experience last Sunday and I decided to bake apple crumbles for myself as I din get to bake it with the girls on New Year's Eve..

And so, the baking turn out to be successful and I am so so Happy and Satisfied..Suddenly, there is a great achievement in me...Though I koe there is still a large room of improvement for my baking skills..but nvm, its a good start at least!

OKOK..Enough said, let the pictures do the talking..:)

Limited Edition Heart-shaped Apple Crumble

Haha..it is baked with LOVE <3

When its served...Hehe..Look so Professional right?

A closer look to the delicacy...Hehe..

Served it with cream and custard OR a scoop of Vanilla ice cream and am sure u will feel like 'Heaven' after eating it...Hehe..:)

Life's been good for me..Looking forward to a holiday outing but but sadly, no trip is planned yet! But I have been looking at travel websites all these while..hehe..Some places are just so amazing! So wana go!

Alritey, till then and enjoy ur visual Apple Crumble! Cheers!

Happy New Year!

Today marked the FIRST day of January in Year 2009!

Looking back, 2008 was just a challenging year that at some stage, strike me down but I believe that 2009 will be a more challenging year for each and everyone of us and hopefully things will go smooth and successfully for everyone!

Just before the clock strikes 12 on the last day of 2008, my wish was fulfilled and I was granted a very good ending to my 'cyclical' year...this is because, I once again feel that the Royal Family is reunited :) Yes, no matter how distance we are or no matter how long we have not kept in touch with each other, there is alwiz an intimate bond between us..and I thank god for reading my mind and granting my wish just before am brought into a new year and a new life...

And for my girls, without them, life wouldnt be as great as it is everytime I return to Malaysia..thank you for the friendship and thank you for all the things you gals have done for me...

Yesterday, I chose to welcome the new year with my gals, and having to speak to each of my beloved ones, wishing them a Happy New Year was the greatest thing to do..

I really feel REBORN and ALIVE as I step into the New Year of 2009!

I hope that things will get better and hopefully, my new year resolution could be fulfilled with my determination and hardwork :) This is because this is a new beginning for each and every one of us...New expectations,New life!

Cheers, my beloved ones and thank you for everything in 2008!

And once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
