sun rise, sun set
time runs, without a rest
no time stands still to witness the transformation of man-kind
no time stands in the shadow of past
time is present, always on schedule
once you miss it, there's no turning back
there is no: "how i wish i can turn back the hands of time"
time is always flying pass us
the treasure that cannot be kept or passed on
the treasure once gone, can only be remembered in our memories
but still it will slowly fade away
time is ticking away...
the see-saw that once carried the weight of playing friends
now sits creaking so lonesome in the park
the swing in which friends used to push one another in
now swings alone in the wind
as time past, friendships gradually drift apart
familiar faces become memories of faceless characters that used to be part of your life
friendships=finds perish
yes, of course, eventually
but isn't it happening too fast?

Post Exams Syndrome
Post Exams Syndrome
this author experienced 2 different type of symptoms to this condition within a day.
In fact, it was 2 drastic difference that may appear after exams.
Student1:
This student was very relieved and delighted that the exams were over. Activities which this student did were to go shopping and eat nice food.
Student2:
This student was very troubled and worried after the end of the exam. Sought alcohol to relief the tension (does not seemed to help). Appeared moody and grouchy.
this author demonstrated the behaviour akin to student1. This author feels that there is no point in broding over the outcome of the exams because it will not change the situation at all. This author reckon that student2 should chill and relax and PARTY. Of course, pray and cross your fingers that there will be a positive and satisfied outcome.

the mark of end of exam
this is what kept me on during the exams.BISCUITS.
They are so nice, I think they deserve a post all by themselves.
Hooray! I've finally finished my exams. I am so relieved. Really hope I did well :)
things i did after my exam:
1. shopping
2. slacked around at my friend's house
3. went to her church for free dinner and socialising (not).
At my friend's house, I meet the boy of my dreams. The terrorist of terror. The boy meaner than dennis.
Meet Bart Simpsons.

Cravings for endophrine
my head is spinning,
my heart is stinking,
my stomach is growling,
and i just watched TV.
I've finished 2 papers already. 1 more paper on next tuesday. Seriously, I can't wait for the exams to be over. I hope i'll be able to do well for my exams. I really WANT that to happen.
hmm.. brain power is still in hibernation, need to go to COLES tmr to do my weekly groceries replenishment (looks like a wrong spelling). That is my weekly retail therapy. All international students do that.. well almost i reckon. I could spent 1 hour on each trip. Before I start my therapy, i'll scrutinise the weekly promotion catalogue, after which I will still stroll along every aisle to look at all the items in the supermarket. And if I managed to purchase an item that is like $2 off the original price, man I'll be so happy with my good buy. It's my endophrines. It never cease to work.

the prohibited post
This is seriously a prohibted post.
Exams starts in this coming monday,
Finally, I am almost finished with my human biology. Tmr will be another round of revision.
Anatomy, my good friend, doesn't seem to have much progress. Come to think about it, I think pract tests were so much more predictable than the theory part. I have no idea how am I suppose to study for it. So much for being ambiguous :(
I suppose OT theory is another killer subject. Theories and critical thinking. This is so bad cos I was never a critical thinker at all. I am so lazy, I sometimes don't mind people putting ideas in my brain as long it doesn't conflict with my values and beliefs. pig (oink)
clash. clask. clach. clack ??!!

stand by you
here i am again, typing yet another mindless chatter swarming in my brains
but today, i'll be touching on a sensitive issue.
it will probably be another messy post.
FYI, you will most probably read this post and disagree with me. I'm fine with that; are you?
anyway, here it goes.
Previously, before I start my module on psychology, I had little tolerance for people who complained about their emotional issues. " No one understands me", well and other statements which I cannot remember (i'm sorry. I choose to forget).
At that time, I feel that these are the people who have too much time on their hands and thus they complain instead of doing constructive things to better their situations. It seems to me that they are extremely selfish and cared only about themselves. They see no one but themselves.
You can infer that I am a very cynical, skeptical and unsympathetic person. well, i think that clearly explained my thoughts. But gradually, I did get a little more picture behind such emotional outburst. And interestingly, such issues do relate to alot of other things in life. It relates to an individua'sl coping style, their attributional style, their attitudes and a whole lot of internal and external factors.
I have come to see that every individual is an unique entity. everyone is different and not everyone thinks the same way as I do. I was ignorance. However, it still doesn't change my point of view. Instead, I learned to be more tolerant to people who are different from me. Try to see things from their perspective and to lend a listening ear.
My 2 cents worth of thoughts: For any emo person reading my blog, do try to see things outside your own perspective. The world doesn't evolve just around you. There are many life and death issues beyond what you are now experiencing. Talk to someone POSITIVE about your issues and try to work out an appropriate solution. Do something constructive to change your situation. Your future lies in your hands and not of others. If all things fail, seek professional help. If you are in depression and need help, please seek help immediately. Don't let this illness drag on and waste your life. Depression is curable and it is not a shameful thing to admit this illness. I am sure all your loved one will stand by you :)
That being said, I am willing to lend a listening ear to those who needs it. And I sincerely hope that this post doesn't offend anyone whom had gone through this journey.

i marvel mothernature
this may sound silly,
but i couldn't wait to type my post.
i sincerely marvel mother nature. time and time again, I am always struck by the amazing natural environment changes.
First, I finally witness the pretty sight of leaves on trees changing colours. From green to many hues of red and lastly orange. I saw this one tree in uni where all these three colours come together. The bottom layer (obviously still taking in supply from the roots) was green, the middle layer was red and the top layer was orange. It was a spectacular sight. Pity that I didn't take a picture of it.
Second, I was amazed by how fast the sky turns dark in the start of winter. My mom always tell me of her days in Syndey when the day turns night around 4-5pm. Now seeing is believing. I was happy studying for my exams ( sleeping most of the time though) when I decided to check out the wind condition (the wind was howling very loudly). I peered through my window and the sky is dark already at 5+ .Other than the tint of light at the very far horizon, everything is almost dark. (As you can also infer the very lack of public lamp-post here in Perth-thus I never wander out at night= infer-not safe).
haha..another mindless post to distract me from my freezing brains, purplish fingers and dry skin :)

give thanks to peace
i was going to start my post about autumn here
when i chanced upon this article on yahoo.
it was about a young jewish girl's dairy; writing her life, about the cruelty of war and her longing for freedom- something that we all take for granted.
although i did not feel any connection with her, i was unable to control the tears welling inside my eyes. I can't image the fear and horror that those people experienced during the holocaust, but strangely i always have this uncontrollable burst of sympathy and empathy towards this issue. I know many of us have the same feeling about this.
my module on psychology has exposed to me that the holocaust-started by Hilter- has a sad and unfortunate story behind it. Raised in a problematic family, parented by a sadistic father and an extremely submissive mother, Hilter grew up with hatred towards minority groups. Combined with other situational factors, a person -a murderer- was created. Thousands of innocent people fell victims to his ambition- the geocide of jews- and the rest of history we are all familiar with.
Today, another batch of army personales are sent off to Iraq. The news aired a footage where i saw a young girl wearing her sunnies, dressed in her army uniform. I thought she looked hesistant and fearful of the unknowns in the war far away in Iraq. Perhaps she too understand the horrors of war. She could be spenting time with her friends in an cafe and talk all day, but no; she's off to war, for peacekeeping? i wish i knew.
this is a messy post, unfortunately
but i do hope for peace one day for everyone
peace= a day of no violence, one is able to perform his/her occupation without the fear of any harm done onto them. give thanks and look forward to another peaceful day.
