24 November 2004

packing.

i opened my yet unpacked suitcase. and closed it again. :)

meeetup.

after dinner drinks at a place called makan makan. my first time actually going 'into the place. the previous time it was closed by the time i got there. :P it was good to meetup with the two lil terribles and jay, dom+1, and other fren's of theirs. chatted about anything and everything and all the time sipping our teh tariks`. it was followed by after after dinner drinks at oriel's in subiaco. cos it was one of the few places that stay open after 1am. just got home and all set for bed. at least its cooler tonight, or rather, this morning. they still wanna go shopping in the city at 11am. mad i tell you. all of them! :s

dawn is breaking.

23 November 2004

a lazy day.

the heat is becoming unbearable. even at night. which probably explains why i woke up earlier than usual. headed out with jon. to supercheapautos. to bunnings. to kingsway for nougats . to lunch at red roosters. to city for a walk. to subi for dvds. i feel sleepy. maybe i'll nap. :P

the e&y ppl sent the contract to my aussie addy! makes me wonder what happens if i had gone back on an earlier flight?! tsk. i've to get back to them by the 10th. think i'll get back before i send it in. to sign or not to. :s

i better start packing soon too. hmm..

22 November 2004

tomorrow.

i think i wont be working tomorrow. anthea hasnt gotten back to me. ohwells. i shall commence some form of packing and maybe plan a trip to the city. let tomorrow be cooler... that'd be soooo niCe. absolutely.

woodman point.

the heat is on. for summer that is. temperature is not where near that when i arrived in feb but its bad enough for some. its just different from back home. here, the heat is dry scorching. very much unlike the hot and humid discriptor that is often used for home.

which probably explains.

why i feel so lethargic. cos i spent the day sleeping and such.

nite came and it became more bearable and tonight the finals for australian idols was on. i didnt get to catch all of it cos i had to do some moving of furniture and go fishing. but had a feeling that casey might win. which she did. :P

this time round is my second time to woodman point with jon n domlee and it started slow. dom was mostly doing his 'get the fishes bunched up and hook'em' routine and i joined him for a while. it was surprising that he managed to get two and i would not have thought it possible on my own. i however failed miserably. it was almost 1am then and we were there for 2+hrs alr. then it happened.

this australian mate' came along and started to fishing. reeling in one after another just beside us! we were like.. wtf?! then jon went over for a chat and came back with a fish for bait. the guy was being nice. we were motivated. lol. BUT. we didnt have floats like the guy did, so i took a little walk to the (dust)bins in search of bottle caps for my impromptu rig. i somehow managed to fix it up and without weights i managed to slow the sinking of my baited hook. a nibble. more nibbles. up snapped my rod and i had the fish. and i hadnt even sat down after casting by line. :)
slowly but surely it was working and the converted dom got a few too. jon experienced equipment failure but managed to get one. which left us all pretty satisfied. friendly fisherman. starry night. beautiful setting moon. a few fishes. experienced gained. smelly fishy everything. not too bad at all. fishing's not THAT bad, if one actually manages to get fish of course.

put the stuff you spent good money on to use. do not leave it lying around. ;)

21 November 2004

dinner @ doms.

after the exams. slowly but surely in a holiday mood. yesterday the barge boys` had dinner at our boss' place. yupps, all who were there worked on the barge before, cept for cheryl of course. tsk tsk. :P

this grill looks familiar. food looks great? it was.


after which was a flurry of flashes as the picture taking commenced. i saved my batt by turning off my flash. the result. :)

holiday mooood.

its always so exciting to NOT study when the exams are approaching and when its over, one just loses the drive to do anything. even all those things that we shouldnt be doing while we are supposed to be studying. :P

i've been feeling really lazy. not too sure if it is the right discription but its a recurring thingy. exams approach. never study hard enough / never start studying early enough. looks foward to holidays. exams come and go. feels guilty. no mood to enjoy the hols. bla bla... for me, it always is the case, when i know that i should have studied harder when i could so that i can play now. but no, cos i will always be me... ;)

i know that at we progress into the hols i will tune into in slowly so i aint worrying. but the severe lack of funds that i will be experiencing this time round is seriously a little unsettling. some planning needs doing and hopefully all will work out just fine. somehow i tink it will. so no worries abt tt.

i am all set to head back and play vball NOW. :)

19 November 2004

here it comes.

THE HOLIDAYS!

18 November 2004

GP3.

my last night here in GP3 for 2004. it was in this lab where i mugged for the finals. its so quiet now compared to the past few weeks when everyone still had exams. i count 4 others in this place that takes up to 80 quite comfortably. i'll be leaving soon.

my prep for my last paper? less than ideal. very much so. the major part (consolidations) i've got covered. but the consolidated cashflows and equity accounting mtds i'm so lost in. sigh. and then there's the mcq and the theory part. :( all i hope is that i dont do too badly for this. i just want a credit.

a long ride home in the cold to wake me up. *brrrrr*

17 November 2004

all night long.

the sun rose at ard 450am. which was before i cycled home from school. now the crows are keeping me awake. i WILL have my revenge on them noisy birds. for now.. i shall endure.

update @ 1219pm. woke up to an email from e&y. i got the internship!! yayyy!! :)
i am glad tho those that went thru it before said its really crappy and some said that its quite easy to get it. seriously i dont care. 1. i need something to do. 2. i need the experience. 3. i need some form of income no matter how little that may be. problem? clothes for work. :s ahwells, thats something for after my last paper in ard 25hrs time. study i have to now...

jon: couldnt wake in time for ur morning call :P

how much is enough?

that is the question. for which i have no answer of.

13 November 2004

not enough.

what did i do on friday?

i still couldnt get much done for itf. there were simply too many distractions i think. woke at ard 10 to naruto which i managed to download overnight. then it was off to the city to collect wayne's game. wayne's my hsemate and he's back in singapore already. why? because he's this archi student and they have NO freaking exams!!! the worst part? the game that he pre-ordered wasnt here yet. its been pushed back for the 2nd time. will go again on the 18th. *grrrrr* then it was to lunch and some *restocking* with jon and julian. :s only at 23o did i start revising. even then it wasnt for long and i went to jon's place for a jog that didnt materalise. he was playing halo2. tsk. i dun think julian got any studying done too. :P

after dinner was the movie centerstage. nice. late nite study attempts at gp3 didnt turn out too well. went to northbridge for supper at 3+. slept at 5 when the sun was already up. just woke.

i have to get off my butt. one day to paper. five days to go. two weeks to home.

INTRODUCTION TO FINANCE460.221

read notes. do tutes. practice more questions. please let me see it.

11 November 2004

guilty.

i simply couldnt bring myself to study after the paper today. and it didnt help that i had a headache since i woke this morning. it just isnt going away! :s

ohwells. after watching harold n kumar goes to white castle (hilarious + the fact that it had a babe in it) AND raising helen (not too bad but not terribly great), i think i shall go get some sleep. and. hopefully wake up early tomorrow feeling refreshed and all set to go.

08 November 2004

32 hours.

time i have till my first paper on wed morning.

organisational behaviour...

why did i take this elective? please remind me again... :(
i mean, its an interesting subject and that i must agree with, but the amount of things i have to memorise and the different way in which i have to answer the essay questions is something that will be my downfall. for i am one with a brain not anymore accustomed to essays. its just my excuse. :P anyways i shall nap a little and then head to GP3 for a n hour or two before i shutdown for the day.

ta!

06 November 2004

thanks for organising organise
this year's class gathering?
woot! please...
i have no plan C...

05 November 2004

the ride home.

disclaimer: a pissed person with exam stress. not a good combi. :)

was cycling home and i cut across the road when i saw this car coming up behind me (no i dont have eyes behind my head, i was checking). he made a turn to get into the carpark and cut in front of me, opened his door and more of yelled than said:" if you wanna cycle, cycle on the right side of the road. now go on, bugger off!..."

i may not have been the safest of all cyclists, but i cut across so that he could pass the narrow road easier (my reason/excuse/whatever you wanna call it). f*ck my intentions. right. you in the red magna, hope you were happy and pleased with yourself for stopping an asian student cyclist and correcting his mistake by semi-yelling for all to hear. if you would have done it to any other student, good on you. if not, you're just being an ass, and you can go bugger off yourself.

sigh. i could have been really pissed and a stereotype of racist aussies would have been etched permanently in my head. but taking time off to think, i should have just taken a walk to school. not! hmm..that's too troublesome, i'll just cycle safely-ER next time.

even tho its my fault and i am sorry if i had endangered anyone in any way, sometimes its just hard not to get really pissed, when one knows the situation could have been handled differently (tell me something in a firm but non-pissed/pissing way would have made my day). i really was so mad at that driver. i think i never was this mad at a stranger during my stay here. :(

ohwells...aarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! time to move on.

next time before you f*ck anyone about something, think about how you would feel...

... "do not, what you do not want to be done onto you."

02 November 2004

lunch in the city.

life in this city..
all play and not enough work. all guilty.
did my bit of revision in the morning, it was fruitful but i definitely need more of those. call from jon signalled the end of the first part of studies for they day. lunch was to be at prima taste in the city. food from home that tasted good. once again something recommended by ms prataphile, who so conveniently only has ONE paper that will be examined this sat. tsk tsk.
then it was to stock up rations for the exams. my stash? 2 x cadbury crunchie + 4 x kitkat chunky. $6.
last stop for the day was to medium7's supplier for a stockup of his wares. *tink oakleys* i spied another one that i should be getting after the exams. $155. thats what i have to save. :P
i just got an msn msg for gelares. its tuesday.. they are evil people.
i seriously gotta head to school for studies later. but for now... heh. bye!

01 November 2004

phonecall.

geneve:hello..
me:geneve ah, mahmah there? (mom)
gen:mahmah not here..
me:go call mahmah..
gen:*goes off yelling..* *comes back* mahmah not here..
me:mama and papa leh? (elder sis)
gen:go work..
me:ah yi leh? (2nd sis)
gen:go work..
me:go call mahmah again..
gen:*goes off yelling and comes back* mahmah in front/or wherever..'gugu' i make cake leh, when u come back eat hor..
me:okie, when i come back u make for me..go call mahmah..
gen:okie..

then my darling niece goes off and doesnt come back anymore. either my mom thinks she is being mischevious or that the little one promptly forgot and went to play. =\

i love my little darling! lol. called home cos i needed my "o" and "a" level transcripts. ohwells, i'll try again later when they discover the phone is lying dead there.

sigh.

the news from back home doesnt sit too well. group politics and trouble with relationships. news about frens that is. cant anything ever be nice and rosy like we all wish for? how will it be like when i get home? things will definitely have changed.. but how much? sigh. life.

looking at it from another angle. at least everyone is changing and growing. hopefully experiencing and learning. all would be worth it if one's desired outcome is achieved.

i make no sense. so does everyone else. heh.

delta goodrem. niCeeee....
