life must go on

i just heard news off my friend's mother passing.
it's a very upsetting news
to him and to the rest of us who love our parents dearly.
life is sometimes cruel and unpredictable

unfortunately, there's nothing much one can do about it
we just have to be strong

life must go on
let the music play

cranky mood sucks

i am seriously pissed off with my flatmates.

today i made a comment to her to clear the sink because all her food stuff were stuck in the draining holes. It was not the first time and i have cleared it for her many times already.

guess what?

"BANG!"

she walked over and picked up her stuff then deliberating smacked the grill tray hard in the stove to show her displeasure.

dude, do you think i care?
Your family member may tolerant your actions, but I don't.
I may be angry at times, and I do express it by facial expression,
BUT I never deliberately slam the door or smack the damn tray to vent my damn displeasure.

The flat's atmosphere has been pretty cranky lately. And I don't like it. Maybe it's due to approaching exams and assignments... NOPE... what lame excuses.
I've a fiery temper but I've learnt to keep it down cos I know I am staying with other people than my family. I've learnt that tolerance can go a long way. But I do not tolerant people who thinks that they deserve to vent their anger by unnecessary actions. That is so totally not cool.

Maybe I am just too sensitive.
Maybe I am not.

My application for student housing was rejected. So were 120 other applicants. There was around 200+ application and I reckon only 80+ people was successful. It means time to find housing when I return to Perth. One thing is for sure, I do not wish to live with some of my flatmates anymore. I have seen enough of their temper. One year is sufficient for me to see what sort of character you are. It's scary though, people knowing me, knowing my bad peeves, my habits. I want a change (from a fiery mood). Therefore, I've decided to make plans with my coursemate. She sweet-natured and nice. However, there's no concrete plans yet. So vague :(


I hope her hand hurts...seriously
OUCH!

random post

*random post*

it's really freaky.
when i type my name on google search and click on 'i am feeling lucky',
it will link immediately to my blog.

i don't want that to happen.
imagine, if i blog about me picking my nose and enjoying it
or i can form an ensemble with my farts
then everyone will know!!!

tell me, how do i get off the google list

seriously, this is so not funny at all
there's this blog which i occasionally read, www.yihuey.blogspot.com
her blog is so much more interesting than my boring updates
and her URL says everything!!

why am i so concerned about it
cos what if a hot guy i knows (purposely)/accidentally type in my name and he rea my picking habits???!!!
it's not funny anymore

this post is meant to amuse my readers when i am suppose to study for my exams which is in 2 weeks time.

part 2 Kulin

janice, i think i lost the zest to continue writing... haha

anyway, on to the second day:
our day started at 9am. breakfast was our packed sandwiches from the day before, all squashed up during the bus trip. we toured around Kulin shire before heading towards our destination-KULIN BUSH RACE. It took 30 minutes to reach there from our accomodation. Along the way, you could see many horse figures made out of tin. There was a playhorse( meant to imitate playboy), a horse climbing ladder and more other creations by the people of Kulin. I think it was like their shire's pride, like what merlion is to singapore.

the place of the event was huge. It was facing Lake Grace, a wonderfully mesmerising green lake. They had a huge tent to accomodate the people, racing tracks and an outdoor pub for the evening party.

Yes, we volunteers did what a volunteer must do. Clean up, help out at food stores, clean toilets, direct traffic, entertain the kids, etc. Nope, we did not have to do all the duties. Most people, including me did 3-4 duties. you'll be bored if you stay at the same place for more than 3 hours. Say "Do you want Hamburger" 50 times...hahha maybe I am exaggerating.

this trip was enjoyable and it did helped alot when the people there were friendly.

i have mental block right now and i don't think i 'll be able to blog properly tonight.
It sucks too when blogger doesn't allow me to post pictures due to some error unknown to me. you could see some of my Kulin photo on facebook though.

i am so not productive. it's nothing new and I dislike myself for this.
there's an assignment due on thursday and I'm still struggling with it.

It's constant frustration overwhelming me.
You could drop by and splash a bucket of cold water on me. Maybe it could help to diminish my flaring flames.

KULIN-part 1

john curtin weekend~ kulin, WA
and "nope, we are not from john curtin high school"

this trip was one fantastic trip, it was really an eye-opener
it's about 4.5 hours from Perth, inland towards east
nope, i did not visit any touristy, iconic or any place you will find on 'top places to visit in western australia' haha.. far from it
the way i put it "it's a place you never ever thought of visiting for a million years.. Make that a trillion" (ohh.. i sound so mean)

Kulin is small dusty shire (something even smaller than a town)
there's a population of about 600
a tour around Kulin shire took about 15 minutes (via bus)
i reckon that there's:
one primary and high school
one IGA-Kulin (not exactly super-supermarket)
one furniture store
one Kulin hotel cum kulin pub and entertainment centre
one swimming pool that looks sad and one cool waterside
one Kulin memorial hall
one information centre cum library cum exhibition hall
one recreation centre, bowling centre
one cafe and one community bank
one home-based bakery
one..i forgot.. nothing else??

it's really a cosy little (abit arid) place
fortunately, the people there are REALLY warm and friendly (no sacrastism intented). They are really nice folks who tried to make us comfortable and let us fit in with them.

first night:
we left uni at afternoon and we roadies arrived Kulin at 9.30pm. had dinner at the pub. it was buffet style. i seriously didn't enjoy the food; Australia food doesn't really excite my tastebuds. in my opinion their food is dead boring and dull.
Later we decided to join in the dancing at the backyard of the pub. their band was great albeit some of the songs were relatively unknown to me. young chaps were dancing around us. trying hard to impress. there was this one chap who used his ultimate bum shaking on joanne. he was practically poking his bum into joanne's one. a seriously amusing sight if you can imagine a young curly blonde hair chap sticking his bum towards your direction. haha
the rest of the chaps was equally amusing. their constant public display of brotherhood affection. the drunken older chaps throwing themselves onto us (they are so very heavy) and other strange entices. one friend was licked on her face and carried up by a bald, drunkened and oversized guy. the night was about alcohol,music, dancing and amusing sights. and lotsa phototaking :)
my groups ended the night early in preparation for the next day's volunteering event. another thing that i suspected was that the country people seemed very fascinated by asians because we were kind of the centre of attraction that night.
haha.. the asian and caucasian thingy (there's nothing wrong about that)

to be continued....

travel to kulin in 3 days time
