Hey everyone ... reading this blog...! It's been a long time since I posted something. Just want to keep everyone updated with my life. Though nothing interesting.... haha anyway... I received my VCE results... It was such a disappointment but I did my best. I got an average of 82.1... due to my weakness in English my average was badly affected. I did not get any offers in the first round of applications through Vtac. The courses I applied last year was all double degree...! I think too highly of myself hoho...! Oh well anyway I applied for both Mel Uni and Monash Uni... Only Monash gave me a reply... and this morning I received an offer from Monash and really wanna Thank God for it. I've been very worried !! Tomorrow I will get my Visa done! Such a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (=´∇｀=)

Hong Kong Trip

2006-01-09T08:53:00.001+11:00

Went to Hong Kong on the 2nd Jan with some of my secondary school friends. We took Jetstar asia. I was not really sure if it was safe to travel on budget airlines. Oh well after the take off I tried sleeping but it was really uncomfortable. Service was poor and there was no freebies.. I guess that's why it's called budget airlines... haha. The landing was not that bad. I remember taking China Airlines 5 years ago and my heart almost stopped beating...
First time after touching down in HK, we took a cab to our favourite cha chan teng, Chui Wah! The beef steak there is 100 times better than Jack's Place... the beef is sooooooo tender it's like chocolate melting in your mouth... mmmMmmm...
After the nostalgic lunch, we went back home at Wan Chai (Jonathan's house). Went home to slack and plan our week ahead. During the evening we went Yong kei for roasted goose.... mmmmm yummy ... really fattening man... i'm telling you I'm getting fat!!!!!!! gaaaaaa i need to slim down... my tummy is... getting bigger by the second...

to be continued ... lol 6 am now.. tired ... just touched down ... sleep first

Back in the green land.

2005-11-25T05:12:00.000+11:00

Left for Singapore this afternoon at 1700 hrs. It was a pretty busy morning. I woke up at 930 hrs to pack my last minute stuff. Thank God for the good friends around to help me in times of need. I called Chester last night to help me move my stuff in the afternoon. Everything was happening pretty quickly. There was packing, paying of last minute bills, making a police report for my lost mobile and having a 10 min lunch break. Felt so guilty not helping to move my own stuff to Chester's house... I think I left afew stuff back in Faraday too... hoho... oh well.
The Flight back, I had a movie marathon, sitting next to a girl with smelly socks~ I almost fainted... anyway I watched 4 movies, Kung fu Mahjong, Train man, Loves dogs only and Bewitched. I really enjoyed Train man. It's a Japan produced movie; about a 22 year old nerd, with the help of his friends online, wooing a girl he met on the train. The guy was quite annoying at first but at the end of the movie it was quite touching. The guy was soft spoken, a cry baby, a wuss at first but in the end he shown great courage. He was able to win the girl's heart with all the trival things he did. Such an inspiration!
Though I was really exicited about going back to Singapore but at the same time I was dreading to get back. Once again I will in a transition, slacking and stuff which is really irritating. Someone hire me for one month!

Camping at Grampians ~

2005-11-23T09:19:00.000+11:00

4 Campers (Baaaanana, Sharon, Xodus and Brian) and 3 fishers (Darren, wabbling, Panda) decided to go on a Grampians trip. It's 6 am on 19th November but the 2 lazy bones did not get up; and I ... ... went to sleep haha... Everyone finally woke up at 8 am and we had Breakfast at Tiffany's! I meant Breakfast at Brunette's... kick started the day with a wholesome breakfast. The journey took... hmmm not sure how long I was sleeping at the back of the car hoho. Got there to find the Perfect camping spot while the fisherman went to search for their fishing ground.
After driving in the windy road up the hills we reach Smith Mills and decided it will be our home for the next 3 day. After pitching up the tents I was given the first duty; to pump petrol and search for the lost fisherman. Drove down with Sharon while Anna and Louis set up the fire.
As there was no reception we had to go pump petrol first at Halls Gap. Tired and blur I picked up the pump and started pumping and I pumped Diesel oil into the tank! It caused the car to breakdown into fumes... I was afraid... scared of the fury of Louis. For the rest of the day I was in daze unable to speak or laugh out loud~ Though Louis said it was okie... but still I couldn't believe my own foolishness.
Thank God, he took away the uneasiness and for XO's graciousness. Next 2 days was without technology. No car, no reception. We had to ration our water as it was running out. I felt bad as I was the cause of the problem. However, above all I was able to have fun. I think setting up the fire and watching shooting stars was the best part.Overall we really had great fun.
On the 3rd day morning NXM returned in it's glory! I was never so glad to see that car. Immediately I was in relief! Went home after that long 3-4 hours drive and had a great bath!

Long lost but now am found

Well what can I say, its been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time since I last posted on my blog. Basically nothing much really happened this whole year. Let me summaries my year for you guys who's reading this blog. Bottom line is home, school, eat, library, eat, home, sleep. Weekends: Cell Group, Church, Badminton.
Closing to exam period would be Home, LRC, eat, LRC, eat, home, sleep. Weekends: Cell group, Church. LRC. Really a very automaton lifestyle and really glad it's almost over soon. This Firday is my last paper and I'm done for the year. I must say it's all God's grace that I am able to come this far. Without him I might have just given up on myself and started slacking months back. Though all these studying, my grade's been everywhere. There's such insecurity. Everyday studying but no solid results. I just have to continue trusting in God to bring me through this period. I am really praying to get into Melbourne University. I don't know if that's God's plan for me but God's given me a freedom of choice and Melbourne University's my choice. First choice of course is Commerce, majoring Finance and Economics. It's been a stressful year, I've done all I can and I have no regrets.
Last week we had our final CG meeting and it was really a blast. But that's the next post. ~ haha still in the mids of downloading the pictures.

Woot Easter weekend! 4 days to slack ! eeeeehur!! Woke up this morning at 6 am to cook breakfast. Prepared some french toast. Today I went to Grampians with my house mates and some of the people from cell group. It was really fun, well the driving part that is, the scenary was really beautiful. Well we practically travelled around Grampians looking at trees bonding with mother nature. The roads in the mountains was really challenging but of course being a skilled driver, it was nothing (´з｀)y-～. Well really was an enjoyable time. I wanna go again!

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate
friend?

Let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is
no egg in eggplant
nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in
pineapple. English
muffins weren't invented in England or French
fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,
which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its
paradoxes, we find
that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are
square and a guinea
pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't
fing, grocers don't
groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of
tooth is teeth, why isn't
the plural of booth, beeth? One goose; 2 geese.
So one moose; 2 meese?
One index; 2 indices? Isn't it crazy that you can
make amends but not one
amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid
of all but one of them,
what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't
preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a
humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should
be committed to an
asylum for the verbally insane. In what language
do people recite at a
play and play at a recital, ship by truck and send
cargo by ship? Have
noses that run and feet that smell?

How about this? You park in the driveway and
drive on the parkway?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the
same, while a wise man
and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your
house can burn up as it burns down, in which you
fill in a form by
filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by
going on.

English was invented by people, not computers,
and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is
not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are
visible; but when the lights
are out, they are invisible.

PS. Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

Test Test Test and more of it coming

2005-03-09T20:20:00.000+11:00

Well, this week is definately the week that gets me sweating. I've got 2 test and an Oral presentation. I did my Oral presentation yesterday. Analysis of a media text, I'd say all went well and I achieved 26/30. Which I find is a acceptable grade XD. I was really nervous during the Oral presentation felt like my heart was going to stop. I prepared some que cards but it was of no use, lol. I barely looked at it cos my mind suddenly came to a blank and start speaking gibberish! All was well when I received my results, could hardly believe it but heck it's all good!
I have 2 more test coming up got to start my engine and study study. Test test! More test?! Me busy leave me alone.

Busy

2005-03-08T09:46:00.000+11:00

Well, I know you guys must be wondering "Why do I get myself a Blog when I don't even write on it." It's simple ! I'm too busy!! Work from school been piling up. I'm not really doing very well in school but I'm sure if I work hard enough I'll make it to Melbourne University. Other people can do it so can I. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
It's been a really busy week. Been doing nothing but studying. During the weekends I just could help it but slack. Lost all my motivations, practically slacked the whole Sunday away. I feel like I'm going to burn out soon. Guess I just have to surrender myself to the Lord and carry his yolk for his burden is light and easy. Tomorrow I'm having a English Oral presentation I hope all goes well.

Sundays

2005-02-28T15:03:00.000+11:00

It's just another normal Sunday. I stayed at home the whole day trying to finish my school work. Though I'm staying with a couple of friends but still the sense of loneliness never fails to strike me. I kept myself in my own room racing with time to finish up my work. The weight of reality is so real that I have no time to slack. Though I really hate to study but I definately have no choice but to. It's a way that I answer to my parents for their hard work bringing me up and tolerating with my wilfulness. Time really flies. This week I meet up with loads of new friends in church. Pretty cool bunch of people I'd say. We laughed and joked throughout dinner last night.
Sunday, just another day to catch up with my work, house work and friends.

2005-02-27T13:32:00.000+11:00

Well another day at church. Feeling fresh and ready to go through another day of work. I slept the whole morning and woke up to watch loads of anime. I'd say it's been a long time I really sat down and watch time go past. Recently been really busy and I'm almost burnt out. Finally decided that I should drop my Japanese language and focus of my 2 maths subject. Well church was great, God refilled my spirit and I feel that I'm ready to tackle another tireless week!

2005-02-26T16:00:00.000+11:00

I came straight home from school. On the way back I was feeling like a zombie, dragging my feet back home. The loads on my shoulder weighs at least a ton. My body is at the edge of breaking down. Everything seems so hostile to me. Got home I didn't change and fell straight into slumber. Woke up 3 hours after, though my body is still weak and tired but I've still have my laundry to do! Doh!
Past 3 days been having lots of test and been over working myself. School work's overwhelming and it seems never ending. Such a chore to even start my engine going and getting my work done. Well I just have to work hard this year for the sake of my "bright" future.
Everything that seems to be easy is such a nightmare for me now. What can I do to salvage the problem. Am I not putting enough effort? Am I just going to crash and burn this year? Never ! I'll never give up. I'm a bad at giving up.
