何润东 - 真心话



早晨醒来身上沾了颜料
而画笔还握得很紧很牢
阳光中你仍静静悄悄
在画板上看着我微笑

几乎每天梦到散着步和你聊
有一种幸福和美好
我感觉得到却捕捉不到
有时候让情绪很糟

感动明明塞满胸口
却说不明白
我爱得多么澎湃
只愿你能看得出来

喜欢你想爱你想说真心话
我只有深情但请你收下
我只有痴狂却不懂得方法
把我心里想的怀里有的清楚让你看吧

喜欢你想爱你想说真心话
路也许还长但爱已出发
我也许太傻却一点也不假
会永远体贴永远守约
你肯让我爱你吗

早晨醒来身上沾了颜料

想看着你闹陪着你笑让我爱你吧!!!

烦恼

不知道下一步棋该怎么下。勇敢向前冲? 还是维持现在的安全状况? 向前冲呢,会不会导致死棋? 还是会有意外的收获? 该冒这个险吗? 胜算会有多大呢? 不试又怎么知道结果呢? 勇敢地踏出去吧! 还是。。。。等死。。。

23 Years and going

Ladies and Gentlemen. I am officially 23. Yes, and time just flew passed just like that. I am 23. Yes. 23. I was 22 for most part of the year, when most of my peers are 23. Feels kinda funny. But it is still nice for my birthday to fall on December, the festive month.

Birthday to me, is just another day. Just wished that everyone is happy, and everything will be 顺顺利利 for all my friends, family and I. Last wish is "classified". Blown my 1st birthday candle today ever since I turned double digits. Thanks to Jimmy, Jo and Darren (1st time I included names wor) for the dinner and cake, and to those who wished me "Happy Birthday". And to those who did not, there is always next year, and the year after, and the many years after that...

UQ's Ceremonyfor the Conferring of Awards

Been to 2 convocations in 3 days. The 1st one being my fellow electrical engineer's and today's being the business people. The whole ceremony started with the graduands' procession followed by the academic procession, which included the Chancellor (Sir Llewellyn Edwards AC), Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Dean - UQ Graduate School, Head of School, Teaching and Administrative Staff, Senate, Guests of Senate, Secretary and Registrar, Valedictorian, Guest Speaker, Beadle (with mace).

What surprised me was the number of MBA's and BA's that were being conferred today. There were tonnes of them. Seems like everyone is having a MBA nowadays. 1 graduand even whipped out his camera on stage and took photo with the Chancellor D.I.Y method. Cool eh?!

Of course! there is the all most important - refreshments. Monday's refreshments were great. Tarts, sandwiches, and lots of stuff. Today's kind of sucks. Maybe its for the business people. HA! Could only see sandwiches, and I didn't even have a chance to have 1. Those studying business sure are shrewd!

Gd'day People

Have not entered anything since the last post. Seems like I will blog whenever I am busy, stressed, or under any other forms of emotional disorder. I will not blog when I am super free. Pretty peculiar eh? Thats the way I am. Geezzz...

31 more days and I will be back in my home country. How homely is that country? Urm.......

Quote from John F. Kennedy "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country"

Do you want to do anything for your country when the country doesn't even value you? How much does the country take care of those who spent 2 years defending the country? How are we different from the Permanent Residents? Soon, Singapore will be a place for people who come and go. No, it already was.

李圣杰 - 不顾一切的爱

A Dream Part II

"Dream is a word used to describe a subconscious experience of a sequence of images, sounds, ideas, emotions, or other sensations usually during sleep, especially REM sleep.

The events of dreams are often impossible, or unlikely to occur, in physical reality: they are also outside the control of the dreamer. The exception to this is known as lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their dream environment and controlling various aspects of the dream. The dream environment is often much more realistic in a lucid dream, and the senses heightened." - wikipedia


This dream of mine last night is awesome. It links from one part to the other like a play, and its got a storyline okay.... Haha!


Scene 1

Person X (cos i couldn't remember who he/she is) and I are always been chased but I don't know why. We managed to get inside a room with swipe card access. Swiped my card and went in to hide. Inside this room, there is this refrigerator, also swipe card accessed. I've got no freaking idea why, but we (YES, WE!) decided to hide inside the fridge... It should be a super-duper big fridge :-) This hide and seek thing occurred back and forth a few times.

It happened this last time when I got into the fridge and Person X did not come in with me. He pushed the fridge like a karang-guni man would push his trolley. Strange thing is that I can see where I am being pushed to... while inside the fridge. (think the back of the fridge is transparent?) I could see the road. A dirt road, and there is a gate on the right. (Those wire gates). Someone had opened it wide, like with inviting arms, and I was pushed through it.


Scene 2

Through the gates, there were lots of trees along the way in, and there was a kampung. What surprised me was that my whole extended paternal family was there. From my grand-uncle to cousins. Don't know when I came out from the fridge. Everyone was giving out 红包, hence I presume it to be Chinese New Year? It was a happy occasion. Everyone talking and laughing. Everyone of the family seems to live in the kampung.

I then went around to explore the kampung. It was like recording a documentary, going around interviewing people. This kampung seems to be located on an island, I don't know why, but I strongly felt that it was on an island. Hainan Island? Sentosa? Pulau Ubin?


Scene 3

I was walking, walking, and then I found myself in familiar territory. The bus stop, the round-about, the trees. I am in UQ. The next person I saw, was LKY. (If you don't know who LKY is, ask) He was wearing a white top with a tie and a black bottom, carrying a briefcase. He looks like a salesman. Hilarious!!! He was like 贬下繁简. LKY was alone walking towards my direction and I was walking towards his. I passed by without looking at him.

F.I.R - 三个心愿



我喜欢你的眼神 温柔又危险
请不要戴上眼镜 我会看不见
想要张开双手把你宝贝
想和你天天见面 想带你环游世界

我喜欢你爱逞强 笨笨的笑脸
在心中抬头挺胸 坚定的信念
这个辽阔世界不够完美
但有了你在我身边 什么都很OK

第一个心愿 为你把幸福堆积
天涯到海角 头发到呼吸
下一个心愿 给你最好的自己
再许个心愿 我的爱把你占领

为什么为了小事就要掉眼泪
好象有太多的事只能自己背
其实只要你说一句OK
现在就立刻马上 变成你的Superman

这世上最重要的不止是誓言
只要你常常记得亲亲我的脸
我会永远记得这个今天
还有很久的那一天我也要有你陪

第一个心愿 为你把幸福堆积
天涯到海角 头发到呼吸
下一个心愿 给你最好的自己
再许个心愿 我的爱把你占领

第一个心愿 为你把幸福堆积
天涯到海角 头发到呼吸
下一个心愿 给你最好的自己
再许个心愿 我的爱把你占领

I'm sleepy. I want to sleep

I need to sleep. I am sleepy. But I can't. My tummy won't allow me to sleep. Going to school tomorrow. Need to sleep. I want to sleep. Help... help... helpless... What can I do to stop? Any suggestions/recommendations?

Wobbling Legs...

31st October 2007 is a happy day. A more than happy day. Whats the word for "more than happy"? Happier? Why is it a more than happy day? Haha...

Kena food poisoning last night. Think I didn't clean my hands properly. And now, I'm feeling weak. My anus is burning, and my toilet bowl has become my chair. I'd been like going for a seat on the throne every 10 minutes. Thought my digestive system can take all sort of shit, but think I'm horribly wrong.

Now, I need to have a controlled diet. No more oily and spicy food. Then eat what? Air ah....

Pain pain go away ~ and make sure never to return... Reporting to throne again... I'm feeling it...

Should I Learn....

to be selfish and protect my backside? I'm an open person. Open in the sense that I have nothing to hide, and I think this makes me vulnerable and people may take it for granted. Am I easily bullied? I think I am. Sometimes, I just like to see how others will take advantage of me. It tells me a lot about that person. But never mind. I'll take blow after blow, but I'll not trade blow for blow. Am I dumb or what? I still innocently believe that "善有善报,恶有恶报", but some still managed to 闪, not for long I sincerely hope.
"May the force be with me"

I'm not a PR person. I can't really communicate well with people. This is a bad point I admit that needed to be improved. I prefer to listen. I can be a better listener. Is PR important? Of course! but too much is annoying. Talking cock is alright, but too much cock makes you one.
"Think before you talk/act"

A Dream

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt that I am an assassin. I had to assassinate somebody. My first mission was successful, but I was caught in the 2nd. I was tortured, and had my fingers chopped off! ALL except my 2 index fingers. Don't ask me why. I don't know. Kind of funny though... I led my life later on as a commoner, trying to carry things, but I couldn't. I don't know why. I think the time frame as in ancient China. Don't know which dynasty.

Strange strange.....

朋友

俗语说得好"近朱者赤,近墨者黑"。如果交到好的,就恭喜你咯。交到坏的呢? 就只好祝你好运。希望你能早点摆脱他们。可喜的是,我交朋友时,是会再三筛选。会过滤, 过滤,再过滤。不知道哪生来的神经,能分辨黑白对错。

以下是我在寻找朋友"分类"的最基本条件。虽然只有三个,可是要列入我真真"朋友"名单可不是件简单的事哦。

1。孝

孔子道德思想中的"孝"字。孝顺的孩子是可以交的朋友。只要一个人会孝顺长辈,就代表了他这个人的道德关联有多深。做人要饮水思源,不能忘恩负义。父母的养育之恩是不能用时间,金钱而衡量的

2。义

在我名中的"义"字,也是孔子道德思想中的其中之一。我这里所说的"义",是指朋友之间的"义"。怎么说呢? 简单的说,就是要有义气,要有正义感。不会因为个人的意义而把你给隔在一旁。当你有"好东西"时再来跟你。那时候,我就会跟你说"bye-bye"

3。搞怪/搞笑/搞鬼

在我条件里最最最烂的一项! 朋友嘛。。。不能每次见面或聊天都处于在严肃的状态。很累的耶! 要嘻皮笑脸的! 跟我一起搞怪,搞笑。 (可没叫你搞出状况来。。。) 由于我个人比较喜欢搞笑,所以呢,不可能叫我自编、自导、自演。要有配角嘛。。。有时还可以娱乐大家。有时候会觉得我不走娱乐路线有点太可惜了。HAHAHAHAHAHAHA。。。 可惜我本人内心。要不然,我早就红咯!


*结论

这三项条件其实是我的人生观。由于这世界慢慢地走向物质化,所以呢,人的道德观念在慢慢的变化。(Starwars里的"dark side") 所以,结论是。。。是。。。我是原始人。活在孔子时代(551 B.C - 471 B.C)的原始人。

And no famous guy died on the year that I'm born.... damn... HAhaha

Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2007

Its finally over, and the South Africans lifted their 2nd World Cup. Not the most interesting match as there weren't any tries. England came close to a try, but was the player was ruled to be out of bounds before the ball went behind the try line.

This is the year of the underdogs, with hot favourites New Zealand(1) and Australia(5) out in the quater-finals to France(2) and England(6) respectively. I watched those 2 matches "Live" on "Free-to-air" TV, and of course the finals early last morning. Where can you get such good deals in Singapore? S-League maybe....

As you all know, Aussieland is rugby and cricket crazy. But other than that, you get "Live" European Champions League matches, F1, swimming, etc, etc... Its fantastic!!! Woohoo!!! Stupid mediacock is super money making leeches. No way it can match aussie tv! NEVER!!!

4。 想找人逗我笑逗我笑,逗我笑,逗我笑逗我笑
5。 不想读下去读不下去,读不下去,读不下去读不下去
6。 想狂吃狂吃,狂吃,狂吃狂吃
7。 想找出气孔出气孔出气孔出气孔
8。 想听你的声音你的声音你的声音你的声音

此刻的我。。。

心情很糟糕,很乱,很烦,很怕。时间是早上0452hrs。睡不着。这几个礼拜里都没有"一觉到天亮"。睡了一两个小时就醒了。想找个人讲话,却不知道要找谁。想哭又哭不出。感到非常无助。

再多一个月就要考试了。有恐惧感。担心。该怎么办? 为什么要到这世界来? 我为我的将来而感到担心。今年23岁的我为什么会为这么多事情而烦恼? 23岁是年轻还是老? 我命中的太阳刚升起来还是在下降了呢?

我这个人什么都不会,什么都没有。想拼,也不知道从哪开始。像个迷了路的小孩。希望有个某某人或某某事能激发我,扶我一把,指导我。


心情沉重。。。

消失的26天

Just felt like entering something today. Being procrastinating for a long time. September is coming to and end. 5 more weeks to the finals. Semester 2 seems to fly faster than sem 1.

Currently, I'm having a 1 week break. What I'd done up till now was soccer on saturday. Played soccer and watched soccer. Hyundai A-league. Queensland Roar VS Sydney FC. Final score, 1-0 to Sydney. Only "star player" available was Danny Taitto, who used to play for Manchester City and Leicester City in the English Premier League before coming over. Actually, I was there to look at Juninho. Yes. The brazilian who used to play for Middlesbrough. But, he wasn't there. Wasted my money... $24.

Wanted to go out and have a walk, breathe some air, but 有心无力。Stay at home and rot. Maybe I'll go out tomorrow... maybe...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was once when I was tossing around on the bed when this thought came across.
"How will I be remembered when I die" and even "Will I be remembered". I really don't know, but is it important? 生不带来,死不带去。

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fire in me had extinguished. I'm not interested in anything. Everything is in a mess. No time frame. I'm tired. Outside to inside. Top to bottom. Need something/someone to ignite it again. Help me find back the fire.

张震岳 - 思念是一种病



当你在穿山越领的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头

一辈子有多少的来不及
发现 已经 失去 最重要的东西
然大悟 早已远去
为何总是在犯错之后
才肯相信 错的是自己
他们说这就是人生 试着体会
试着忍住眼泪 还是躲不开应该有的情绪
我不会奢求世界停止转动
我知道逃避一点都没有用
只是这段时间里 尤其在夜里
还是会想起 难忘的事情
我想我的思念是一种病
久久不能痊愈

当你在穿山越领的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
时常感觉你在耳后的呼吸
却未曾感觉你在心口的鼻息

汲汲营营 忘记身边的人需要爱的关心
借口总是拉远了距离 不知不觉 无声无息
我们总是在抱怨事与愿违 却不愿意回头看看自己
想想自己 到底做了甚么蠢事情
也许是上帝给我一个试炼
只是这伤口需要花点时间
只是会想念 过去的一切
那些人事物 会离我远去
而我们终究也会远离 变成回忆


当你在穿山越领的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
时常感觉你在耳后的呼吸
却未曾感觉你在心口的鼻息
Oh 思念是一种病

多久没有说我爱你?
多久没有拥抱你所爱的人?
当这个世界不在那么美好
只有爱可以让他更好
我相信一切都来得及
别管那些纷纷扰扰
别让不开心的事 停下了脚步
就怕你不说 就怕你不做
别让遗憾继续 一切都来得及

当你在穿山越领的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
时常感觉你在耳后的呼吸
却未曾感觉你在心口的鼻息 X 2
Oh 思念是一种病

Thoughts... 感想

Lectures

During lectures, I prefer to sit alone. Reason is that I'm there to listen to the lecture. As a result, I think it does lead to the impression that I'm unfriendly, anti-social, etc, etc. Am I a loner? Maybe? I'm used to being alone. Doing things alone. I think I can survive being alone. It bothers me when I'm concentrating on what the lecturer is trying to say, and someone besides me keeps talking to me. It'll be impolite to not respond, but on the other hand, I am trying to receive data. Packets are lost, resulting in a lost of data.


I really couldn't understand why people attend lectures to chat. Do your chatting after the lecture D*** it. Show the lecturer some basic respect. It ain't easy standing there trying to lecture for an hour or so. God gave us 2 ears, 2 eyes and 1 mouth for a reason you know?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
朋友

"朋友是互相利用的"。这句话我觉得很有道理。不要问我从哪里听来的。人与人之间是互相的。你帮我,我帮你。可是很奇怪的是,有些人就是"你帮我"后, 就说声谢谢就不再见了。

I believe in giving more than I take. If you take from me, I'll give as long as it is within my capability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Civilization = Civilized People, Society?

Civilization - an advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached.
Civilized - to bring out of a savage, uneducated, or rude state; make civil; elevate in social and private life; enlighten; refine

How does these 2 words relate to our current society? I believe the number of educated is rising, but it doesn't seems like it is proportional to being a civilized being. Shouldn't education make us a better person? Maybe too much education is bad? Or something is wrong with the education system. Or is it just human nature? The genes?

Really hope that somehow, someday, someone will rid this world of vulgarities, anger, back-stabbing, etc, etc... But this day will never happen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Semester in Aussieland

Time really flew. I'm in my 3rd semester here. 1 year does make a difference. There seems to be a sudden influx of asian in brisbane, especially this semester. Good thing is that I see more yellow, brown instead of white. Bad thing is unfortunately, they brought in the bad habits, cultures into the place. Eg, I no longer see people queuing up to board the bus, which i experienced when I first came here. Its rather unfortunate to see this happening. Heard a lot of Singlish too! Complaining about this and that, and as if trying to bring in the Singapore culture. But what they don't know is that they are in a foreign land. Being "guests", don't try to behave as if you are the hosts. "In Rome, do as the Romans". Sometimes I really feel disgusted and ashamed to be Singaporean. I'm trying my best to fly the flag high.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently

I'm lost in my own little world. I don't keep track of time, like which week am I in. I don't really recall what i'd said. Don't know what is happening. Memory-loss? Seems like I'd lost something in me. Need to find it back real quick.

Ekka once again

Ekka - an annual event only in the state of Queensland. It is also known as "The People's Day", as this is the day to celebrate the produce of Queensland. Queensland is a state of agriculture, therefore there will be showcases of fruits, flowers, animals, and other Queensland produce.

Went there with a group of friends, was there from 10.30am till around 8.30pm with a finale of fireworks. 10 hours of walking and eating. Even though I'd been there before, it is a different feeling. Different group of people, a great feeling. Enjoyed myself. Hope the other people had the same fun and laughter that I had. The day was so enjoyable to the extend that I think I was either smiling or laughing throughout. Hehehehe. How I wish today would not end. Just stay there forever, and ever, and ever...

As for photos, I'll need to grab them from my friends. So at the moment, there'll not be any pictures in this post. Lookout for pictures updates hor... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>

So near yet so far

Had been catching some serials from Singapore lately. www.crunchyroll.com .All thanks to my neighbour. Finished watching the uploaded 12 episodes of "保家卫国". Its these small little things that make me feel "closer" to home. 咖啡店啊,马路啊, 车啊, 组屋啊,食物啊,等等。好亲切哦!!! 可是一看完后, 往窗外一望过去,还是回到了现实。澳洲。hai... 鸟不生蛋的鬼地方。。。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
昨晚,我屁股痒,跑去做运动。做了20个push-up, 20个crunches后,全世界就开始转啊转。还以为是暂时性的。谁知道一转,就转了一天。虽然吃饱后有好些,天晓得还要转多久。不能叫我一直吃嘛。希望明天会更好。把DJ干掉。杀!!!

Soiree~

Soiree is an annual event hosted by the International House (one of the on-campus colleges). It features food from 15 countries and over 30 kinds of beer. Went there today with 3 friends. 1 from Griffith and the other 2 from UQ. Spent $30 overall. Couple of beers, some international food. Asia is being represented by Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, China and India. Overall, not too crowded, food was okay. Alright experience la.Took our Griffith friend around UQ for some pictures. UQ is a venue where married couples like to take their wedding photos at. Have no idea. Saw a couple taking theirs at the UQ lake. Maybe they got to know each other in UQ? maybe... maybe...

My left knee is starting to give me problems again... pain... pain... pain... argh... Sibei Sienz... Argh... Sit down also pain. stand up also pain. walk also pain. what you want? tell me la...

National Day

1st time "celebrating" National Day over here in Aussie. Last year, the Singapore Student Society (SSS) wasn't around due to some problems handing over the finances, as I'd heard. This semester, the society was setup. My house-mate signed up. He received this "invitation" (as he's a member, I'm not) regarding this "celebration". RSVP. He's got 3 invites, and I invited.
Happily spent $2.70 sitting the ferry to Queensland University of Technology (QUT), anticipating the "local food". Queued up to register cos my house-mate signed me up. Had my name ticked, and asked if I'm a member, which I was not. was told that i need to be a member to get my ticket. Spent $5 for a club with hardly any sponsors and privileges (1 food outlet to be precise)... Sienz...

"Local food" was a thong-full of bee hoon and 1 chicken wing, as in the wing/drumlet. NOT wing and drumlet, super diluted bandung and 1/2? cup of Burbur-Hitam... Well... this is the newly setup SSS. No wonder seniors said don't join the SSS. Now I know. $5 down the drain... Yikes.

"Live" screening of NDP was streaming off the website (ok), but the network was pretty lousy. University of Technology got such lousy network ehh? Left the place when the water dew came onto the platform. But it was nice seeing something from Singapore, made in Singapore, like the advertisements. Chinese faces! Haha

Overall, bad organisation, food was bad, everything bad la. Bad bad bad.

GO LIONS!!!

Went to catch a footy match at the Gabba today. Atmosphere was great! Although the weather was a little cold, it was a good match. Supporters were supporting their respecting teams (Brisbane Lions and North Melbourne Kangaroos). Cheapest ticket was A$16.10, with free public transport to and fro the event.

Something about footy is that staff can just run into the pitch passing water-bottles to the players. If a substitution or certain instructions were is to be made, a 'runner' wearing a bright green coloured shirt will be running directly to the player and tell him directly. So in the whole during of the game, you can see greenies running around, staff passing water bottles. Exciting!

Match got into a little brawl in the final quarter. EXCITING!!! Fans were like 'urging' the players to fight! Hahaha. There were cheers as well as boos. Was sitting just beside the 'away fans' area. Was a little nervous actually, but they were a nice bunch. Chatting and laughing away with the 'home' fans. There was this Lions fan sitting in front of me shouting at every little opportunity. "Where's the replay?!""You B*****d!""What a team!" etc, etc. It was so hilarious! There was once when the whole stadium was chanting "Brisbane! (pause) Brisbane! (pause), and there was a word which came from somewhere behind which made the chant sound like.... "Brisbane! suck. Brisbane! suck." My friend and I were laughing our asses off! Haha. In the end, the home side won 70+ against 30+. GO LIONS!

After the game ended and players had left the field, the field is opened to public. A loud horn is sounded, and the gates are opened. Can see the crowd rush onto the field kicking their balls. Adults, children, everyone. Being 1st timers, my friend and I went onto the field wanting to take some photos. It was a tough time having to cross the field, trying to avoid getting hit. Amazingly, we managed to dodge the "Artillery" bombardments. Phew.

Overall, it was a terrific experience. Something you couldn't find in Singapore's National Stadium. The atmosphere, the fans, the beer, (Victoria Bitter is good). Next up will be the Suncorp Stadium. Home to the Brisbane Broncos Rugby team.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found a single strand of white hair on my head. Hmm... my virgin strand!!! Haha... Might have been stressing too much these past few days. Week 3 starting. Beginning to feel the motor running. It's running.

Finding a Life on a Saturday

Today is saturday. A lazy saturday. Wanted to catch Simpsons the movie, but couldn't find anyone. Wanted to go out for a breather, but too lazy. Beginning to feel like a 宅男。 Or I am already? Maybe I should really go out tomorrow? Mind over body... but i think my mind had twined with my body... Maybe and more maybes. Procrastination kills.


MIND OveR body

1st Week

The 1st week of school had just ended. Mainly are introductions to the course, and some brief lectures. Holiday week has ended. Time to get going. Move it! Move it! Move it! Another 13 weeks of studying. Waking up early. Earliest class is Friday's at 9am. The rest are at 10. No more late nights? Haha....

Hair is getting loooooonnnnnggggg... Haha and messy... May get it cut next week? And I mean cut. Not trim. Heard from friends that the hairdressers here ask a lot of questions and give quite a number of opinions. Hmm.... Cut hair only... so 麻烦 for what... Cut short short... simple. :-)

I'll try to get myself to update more often... Mind over body.. mind over body... mind over body... body over mind... body over mind... oops.. Hahaha. When the weather is so cold, its really really difficult for me to push myself to get out of my comfy and warm bed. Finally got myself a bed frame after 1 year. Actually quite tired of sleeping "Japanese" style.. wake up still need to "push" myself up...

Another "new" item is the refrigerator. Its the 3rd one I've got since moving in... The problem with the 1st one is that it isn't a refrigerator. Its a radiator. Gets warm... Luckily my housemate and I managed to get a full refund back. The 2nd refrigerator lagi best. It's a freezer. Everything thats being put inside freezes.. vegetables, milk, cheese. And I think it consumes a lot of energy... bloody hell. The current one operates like a refrigerator. Freezer is a freezer, fridge is a fridge. Hope nothing goes wrong! A$60 leh... cheap and good. Big somemore. 310litres.

Hope that with the new additions, I'll be able to jump over any obstacles without tripping and get to the finish line.


Huat Ah!!!

Chapter 3

I'd been in Australia for 1 year already. So fast. Seems like yesterday that I am still serving army. Thinking of that, I still owe 106 days excluding leave. Kind of shitty. And after that reservice... Army is a total waste of time.

Semester 3 starting in 4 days time. Feel like an old bird. Hair long long, should i cut? Resurrections of the Beatles.

Good Luck to me

我真的很累很累

Back from my 10 days road trip from melbourne-sydney-brisbane, totalling i don't know how many kilometers. Main difference between the 3 cities is that the city life(night) in melbourne and sydney is far far more vibrant than in brisbane, even on weekdays. There are a lot more asian girls too!!!

I am tired not because of the trip, but of the things that is happening and had happened around me. 我的心真的很累很累了。Photos will be up soon(hopefully).

School will be starting again in 3 weeks time. 现在的我只想找个洞钻,然后找人给我埋了。Any volunteers?

Thursday, June 28, 2007

Tired

Feeling very tired. Mentally, physically. Just want to hide inside my blanket and sleep. Hibernate. Just don't want to step out of my room.

Going off to melbourne and sydney in about 5-6 hours time. Not really looking forward to it. Just looking forward to come back here and sleep. I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!

刘耕宏 - 谁来爱我

也许爱就在这刻
我藏在灵魂里的阁楼那头
幽暗覆盖了白昼
如何躲过这错没有理由
起寒落叶 轻声呼救
我低头 更也说不出口
紧握的手颤抖
该怎么做不懂 沉默

我渴望有个人爱我
在世上某个角落
飞跃过黑夜的尽头
来抚平所有伤痛
我渴望有个人爱我
每一天 每个时候
她心中有同样的梦
等着我长相斯守
共度白头

Nicknames

Haha... what a title to begin my new look blog!

I'd a few nicknames in my short short 22+ years living. The 1st 1 that I could remember was in primary 3/4. I was called "铁皮人". Its because of my dry skin... Hahaa... But I kind of like this teacher. Teach chinese. Tell a lot of stories. Makes chinese learning interesting.

The 2nd one was "Golden Boy". Not because I'm special or what. Just that I don't like to talk. Forgot who gave it to me, but it was someone from band.

The 3rd one came quite a long time from the last 1. During my days as a chao recruit in Tekong. My profile super low ok... i think... it was given to me by my section mates. "小华"。 Sounds ... ... ... But luckily it lasted for about 16 weeks?

The last 1 lasted for 2 years... and counting.... This 1 was rather stupid. The story behind it was also dumb... Just because this section commander of mine find it hard to pronounce my name... And so, I was 'bestowed' the nickname "Kilo". And the story goes like this...

It was my 1st day in 30 SCE. A culture shock from Tekong. We were allocated our beds and section, then this sergeant came in and see if things were going fine. (Actually, we were preparing for stand-by bed. A welcome inspection) As my bed was just beside the door, he came to ask for my name.

Sgt: (See my name tag) Whats your name?
Me: Private Ling Ei Hua, sergeant.
Sgt: Huh? (He's not chinese)
Me: Private Ling Ei Hua, sergeant.
Sgt: Which Company you from?
Me: Kilo
Sgt: Oh Kilo! I last time also from Kilo. I call you Kilo from now on.
Me: ???????????????????

Since that day, my profile rocketed... Wah lao eh... I want to keep low profile leh... sergeants/officers from other company also know me... cham la.... Other one while in army was "Pui eh" (Fat One in hokkien) I fat meh?

loud LoUd lOuD LOUD

Need some real loud music. Any recommendation?

Today 2nd paper. 被lecturer"耍"... haha. But whats over is over. Can only blame oneself.

Everytime after any paper, I'll be smiling after it. Don't know why also... Think I've got some cells that shorted themselves together. Good or bad, I'll smile... Siao ah... (笑啊) 笑口常开。 不容易老化! hahaha

Got rather good seats for the 1st 2 papers. last corner seats. The way they go over here is that someone will stand at the door giving out random number seat numbers. After you take the number, you have to find your seat. Last semester was really terrible. 1 at the side, 1 in-front, 1 in the middle, 1 at the back. Sibei stress ah... I don't feel secure sitting right in the front or in the middle, with people surrounding me. Kind of pressurizing. Hope the last paper will also be the last corner 1.

Need some loud music, but not heavy metal please.

有人可以把冷气给关了吗?

今天超冷的。6点半就爬起来了。应为该死的考试在8点。7点就出门了。今天是我那么久以来第一次穿长袖衣哦! 一开了家门,就感觉到了冷风的厉害了。还以为我可以抵挡得住。。。谁知道没走到5分钟,手和脚就开始有点失去知觉了。别看我肉肉的。。。我也是人啊!!!

很快的,3个小时就过了。当我们出了门,老师就来了。好想上前去扁他!

过后,就到了indooroopilly shopping center 吃早/午/晚餐,买冬装。找了住附近的朋友下来一起吃。也不知道为什么最近不想自己一个人做东西。过了人生的22 1/2年,第一次有这种莫名其妙的感觉。

买了衣服后,去了toowong的 Fruity Caper's 买水果。为什么突然想买水果?答案很简单。昨晚温习功课时突然肚子痛,跑去厕所,想把一切都给它大出来,谁知道。。。什么都没出。便秘哦。应该是最近没有吃蔬菜水果。结论: 要多吃蔬菜水果。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。


暂时到此为止。有灵感再来写。

VERY Tensed, VERY Stressed,

Feeling very tensed up right now. Can't calm down. Tried some breathing exercises, but in vain.

In a few hours time, I'll be sitting for my 1st paper. 3 hours. 3 questions. open book. Running through the tutorials. Can't get no shit out of it. Very tensed. tensed. tensed. tensed. tensed. Help-less. morale-less. It was still alright yesterday, thought could bring the 好事, 好心情 forward to today. 6 more hours before I leave for the battlefield.

讨厌考试。每次进考场都会把读过的忘得一干二净. 为什么? 是不是读的方式错了呢? 还是我的细胞已经都坏掉了? 去年这样,今年不会吧。。。

Failure

Feeling real down right at the moment. Depression. Morale down at its lowest. Even if AC Milan wins the European Cup won't lift me up. Feel really helpless at times. Useless bugger. WHY???

Was in the city just now. Went straight from school. Was thinking whether to go or not cos the time for the bus to arrive was 8.32pm while the celebrations ends at 9. In the end, I still went. There's a 15 min fireworks display, but i'm not interested in that. Was focusing on something else. Went to watch soccer in one of the pubs, Manchester United Vs Manchester City. It was a poor match. Didn't really pay much attention to the match either. Was looking out most of the time... Didn't really support Man Utd this time round... just don't know why... really hoped that Man City could grab that equaliser.

Nothing's right today. All seems wrong. Why?

Happy Happy Day

Today is a happy day for me. Bouncing up and down the whole day! Hahaha! OMG! Milan are through!!! still can't get over it. YES YES YES!!!! I'm going hysterical. 1 wish has been realised! If the next 1 realises, i'm going to 信佛了。阿弥陀佛。Anyway, there'll be a "Buddha's Birthday" celebration in the city from tomorrow to sunday, with fireworks on saturday and sunday. Fireworks again. Wah liew eh... So many fireworks here in brisbane. Got festival sure put. Rich hor

Very Good Day

Very good day indeed! AC Milan are through to the finals!!! Fantastic result for the Italian club. 3 goals against Manchester United without reply. Milan ain't no Roma. Amazing night of European Football. My Man of the Match award goes to No 8, Gennaro Gattuso. His performance tonight is exceptionally fantastic, performing his defensive duties to the fullest. Andrea Pirlo was the man who covered the most distance, an amazing 11000+ meters.

Its 6.42 in the morning now in brisbane. What a great day.

Cheers

AC Milan Vs Manchester United 2nd Leg

Woohoo!!! AC Milan is 2 goals up against Man Utd, which bring the aggregate to 4-3. Milan looks like going through to the finals at Athens. Hip Hip Hurray!!! So happy :-) Its a happy happy day. What a start to Thursday!!!

3 cheers for Milan!
Hip! Hip! (Hurray!)
Hip! Hip! (Hurray!)

Went to the city to buy some components today. It was when i was nearing city that i realised that it has been a long long long long time that i'd been there... Looks kind of foreign and new to me. Unfortunately, i could not find what i wanted, therefore, i left city after 15 minutes to another branch of Dick Smith.. Better have what i want... !@##$!@

Took another 15 min (i think) of bus ride, and about 10 min of walk before i reach the place. Luckily found what i wanted. Looked at the time, still got about 1 1/2 hrs left before my bus ticket becomes invalid. Went to Woolworths supermarket in the shopping center and see what can i buy. Went walking around with a basket, and bought some urm... corn chips, canned soup, and simmer sauce.

End of Story

Thursday tomorrow. then Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Then end of week. School work is in a mess. 怎么办怎么办? maybe have to prepare tupperware 打包lo...

My brain has been running non-stop. Very very tired... Concussed at 6+, hoping that it'll stop, but it didn't... kept running and running. Didn't really get any sleep at all. How to make it stop?! A gun? The night is still young. More work needs to be done.

The Virtual World

Lots of things can be done virtually in the virtual world. Real-life dreams can be fulfilled through virtually. Being a "millionaire", driving Ferrari's ,have a successful career, etc, etc, To me, the virtual world has helped me fulfilled things that I can't do right now, or in the future. For eg, chatting with people over the internet. Being a rather introvert fella, I've failed miserably in PR. I could hardly hold a conversation with people, especially gals. ~Sad... An online conversation could last for hours, but I just couldn't do that in the real world. How I wish everything is virtual. Everyone on earth is lying down, doing virtual stuff for a living. Eating virtual food, having a virtual job.

This is the 3rd entry for the day. Just feeling kind of empty. Put some words up. For fun, laughter, peace and joy. World peace! Got assignment due on Friday, and that'll be the end of the week already. Super fast. Week 8 ending...

Liverpool faces Chelsea later on. don't know if i should watch it. I predict it to be a boring match. Any European match between English clubs will be boring. Lets see how ba.. If i'm still awake by then.

Something about My Blog

Was going through my Stats counter again when I saw some new places. Turkey, and a unknown place. Pretty creepy... From up there or down there? CIA? Can only keep me guessing... What i'm suspecting is that these people from funny funny places googled their way into my blog and "Nah", off they went. Thats the only possible reason that i can really really think of.

I've got people staying at my blog for longer than an hour. 9 ip addresses. Wah liew eh... more than 1 hour leh... Tak boleh tahan lah ... So concern on my life ah? 好感动oh... Arrigato

Manchester United Vs AC Milan 1st Leg

What an exciting 45min the 1st half was, with AC Milan leading 2 goals to 1. Manchester United led the scoreline with a Dida own goal in the 5th min. The Devils were brought back to earth in the 22nd minute by superbly on-form Kaka. Milan took the lead in the 15th minute when Kaka took advantage of a United mix-up to score his 2nd of the night.

The 2nd half was equally exciting as the 1st. It was Rooney's turn to net a brace in the 59th and 90th minute. The match ended Manchester United 3, AC Milan 2. The second leg takes place in a week's time at the San Siro. For now, it time to say good night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feeling kind of sad right now, cos AC Milan lost the 1st leg. The only consolation was that it brought 2 away goals back to San Siro for the 2nd leg. Milan loses it again in the final minute, where I felt a 2-2 goal-line would have been a fair result for both team. ~Sigh

Time to hit my bed.

School

Did a demonstration (demo) today on my oscillator circuit. Outcome was better than expected. Actually, it was supposed to be last tuesday, but managed to push it to today, hahaha. There were like about 30 teams of student pairs. crazy shit.

UQ Taiwan Student Association (Taisa) set up a stall selling tickets for the opening of Spiderman 3. Prices were going at $4. Members could buy up to 4 tickets. Whats the price for a ticket in Singapore right now??? Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of spiderman. Spiderman doesn't attract me. I don't adore superheros. Anyway, its on the night of May 3. Class end at 6. Kind of rush. Don't like to rush. Another reason for me to avoid this movie. Unless someone's got some really really good argument for me to go and sit in the cinema. Anyone???

Tomorrow is Anzac Day. Public holiday, so no school. And there's a soccer match coming up at 4.30 in the morning. Its 'Live' from Old Trafford, FREE. Can't miss it cos its between 2 of my most beloved teams. Manchester United and AC Milan. I won't mind sitting in front of the TV watching a goal-less draw. Just watching these 2 teams makes me excited. Not going to sleep tonight, cos if i sleep, I won't wake up.

Tried to cook Nasi Lemak today. Pretty bad.... the rice didn't turn out to be as fragrant as it should be. Didn't add pandan leaves. HAhah. And maybe a pinch of salt more will be better. The grilled chicken and omelete was pretty alright. And something really really important was missing. Any guesses?? I can't hear you. Yes you over there.... WHAT? I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU.... Never mind... Its the sambal chilli... Now you guys know... Have to make do with "Maggi" garlic chilli.... Sigh....

I'm pretty pleased with myself for being able to entertain myself at the expense of the people around. I can make jokes around them. WAhahhaHAHa. So fun. ;-) It has been the same through primary school, sec. school, poly, army, and now in uni. Its more fun over here as there's some loser that I'd been poking fun of since last semester. I'm always digging and digging traps for him to fall in, and he always 乖乖的 fall into them! Life wouldn't have been the same without him.
Its important to know the level of tolerance the person has, and to dig a hole just nice for him. If the hole is toooo big, 后果将会是不堪设想的。 If the hole is too small, no effect. So in any case, its always better to test water 1st. watch the person's reaction. 看他玩不完的起。Only then you can 慢慢挖. If not, just keep to the "why did the chicken cross the road" jokes. It'll be safe. A note to remember, DO NOT dig a hole such that both of you will fall into it. Its silly.

I've got 48 views in friendster. It's the highest number I've got since I registered. So sudden. Haha. I still can't take it. But the irritating thing is that i don't know who's viewed me cos they're invisible.

Added a "new" feature. These are some of the songs that I am listening to. Don't know why they don't show chinese characters. WHY? China's population is 1.2 billion!
After looking at it for so long, i think my blog is pretty amateurish... Hahah..... <------------These people's maciam (?) professional... Hahah... BUT I DON'T CARE!!!! ITS MINE!

Dear Mr DJ,

Please stop spinning in my head. You're making me sick... When the sun starts to set, you start to spin. Hope you'll be out of job real soon.

Warmest regards...

Because of someone, makes me think of my 老妈 back home. Its all your fault. ;-)
The phrase "天下的妈妈都是一样地" truly applies. Really really started having a long conversation with her was when i got enlisted for National Service. Previously, I hardly had a chance to have a conversation with her. Either she's busy working in the office or I'm at school till very late. When she comes home, I would have been asleep, but she'll be up before me making breakfast the next day. What I hope now is that I can graduate faster so that she can relak 1 corner and 享富。 1 more year to go before i graduate. Then wait a few years more so that i can earn enough money to bring you and dad to taiwan eh?

Still in the holiday mood. HOW!?!?!?! Gek sim ah... I want to study!!! Oh Me! (I believe in myself) Give me the strength to study!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I am typing this, my head is spinning real fast. I suspect someone drugged me... Must be those people... Took a nap at 4, woke and at 6 cos my left arm, no, its hand, becomes numb. Lasted for quite some time. Am I sick or what? Any professional doctors around???

*Spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*Spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin*spin

Photos are up! Enjoy! As much as I Do. ;-)

The Trip

Went to the Moreton Island for a couple of days. Left home really really early. 4.30 like that. At that moment, the weather was pretty chilly, and I was in my slippers, surf shorts and T-shirt! And I believe it's all mental. Just don't think about it and it'll go away.

Met the girls at their house in Indooroopilly where we'll take a Maxi-cab to the Brisbane port where we'll take a ferry (is that a ferry?) to sunny Moreton Island. Events for the day were, kayaking, sand-tobogganing, and dolphin feeding. Did I miss out anything??? Oh ya. water splashing and more water splashing.

Kayaking was fun. 1st time i ever did that but i admit i'm good! ;-) hahah :-] Enough of my boasting. It was quite a good experience, but stressful on my muscles. Next up was sand- tobogganing. Sand was really really fine and the wind was really really strong. urm.... actually the wind wasn't that strong.. but its still not the usual breeze. Unfortunately, I only took it once. I strained my back, decided against straining it even more. ARGH!!! so sad... HAha, but it was fun looking at people eating sand. Hehehehe. Muhahahaha. And there's more sad thing to come. The camera that I was using let me down. The most reasonable reason was that some sand went into it and some mechanism just couldn't take it. So.. I've got only 20 odd pictures. SADDD

I was wet for most of the time. Wet from playing in the sea, and not for anything else.... Was hardly dry. Dolphin feeding was in the evening when the sun has set. By the way. the sun set at around urm... 5.30? Hmm... somewhere there. And the cold wind blew onto me... "When the cold wind blows...." So bloody cold... but its all in the mind... ;-) Fed the wild dolphins, but weren't allowed to touch them, so its kind of SAD! But still managed to get near to it.

By the time the whole thing ended, it was already dark. DUH!!!!!! Back to the villa for dinner. BBQ, Aussie style. On a gas-operated hot-plate. Not charcoal-grilled. After dinner, 1 loser, i mean guy took out his tarot cards and started to become a gypsy. Hahaha... only "asked" about the camera, and its future looks diminishing. SADD!!! When everyone was sick with the game, the same loser, i mean guy decided to asked some really really knowledgeable questions on business and marketing. Learnt a few things that night, from the loser, i mean guy. The night ended at 3 with some really really lame and silly jokes.

The next day started in a rush cos need to checkout by urm...... i forgot what time. ;-p The wind was strong, so there wasn't any "dangerous" water sports available. SADDD!!! ARGH!!!!!! No para-sailing, no jet-skiing, no nothing.... so its off to water splashing and building urm... pyramids. hahaha ;-)

All in all, its a fun trip. Actually, its the company that made my trip enjoyable. THANK YOU to all. Really appreciate what the girls had done. The planning, food, etc. etc... A BIG THANK YOU!!!! Thanks leh! So when are we going out together again??? I'm certainly looking forward to it. Cheers!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looked at the stats of my blog views and am pretty amazed at how its going. I'd got views from Singapore! Australia! USA! Thailand?!
Of these countries, I pretty well know who's being looking at my blog but there's still a question mark over some areas. Like my fans from New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, please tell me who you are. or simply leave a tag! yea?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Photos of the trip will be up soon. Hopefully... ;-)

Holiday

Its the start of the 1 week break. Tomorrow is Good Friday. Whole brisbane is closed. I think... Major supermarkets will be closed the whole day, as well as on Easter Sunday. Wondering if other small enterprises will open for business?

Got lots of due dates on the 20th April, Friday. At least 5. So its super sian. Mid semester is over, before the break. So its kind of good.

Played soccer yesterday. 1st time playing after soo bloody long. 1 year? And right now, my whole body is aching like hell. Sibei sian. The guys are having another game next wednesday. Wondering if I should go... Weather is getting cooler and the air seems to be thinning. My nose is having problems.

Bean

Yeah. Just watched Mr bean. Same old story plot, but never-the-less, a good laugh. Predictable, but still quite enjoyable. Gotta catch TMNT next week.

Today was quite a good day for me in school. Did pretty well (I think) in the mid semester test, which was highly identical to the passed year that I did. Shouldn't be a problem (I hope so). 1 more test on the coming monday. MCQ. Can bring in cheat sheet. Cool. Need to drill myself with the topics these coming 2 days. And after that, I can relax a little. just a little won't hurt yeah?

休息是为了走更长远的路.

Today

Its getting chilly. Temperature now is in the mid 20s. Kinda feel like winter is coming. Preperations are on for my mid semester exam. 1 coming this friday morning and a another 1 in a weeks time. Thats all for my mid sem. The other 2 are project based, so there isn't need for a mid sem test.

Why do some people like to listen to others and assume that thing are that way? There are many angles where things can be looked from. If you're in a circle, there're 360 different angles. That's for a 2D circle. And for 3D, urm... I'll need to do some calculations.... but i won't do it. Find out yourself if you're interested!

I myself prefer to do things MY way. I would prefer to see things happen before my eyes before i'm able to come to a conclusion. Ain't that supposed to be the way it's supposed to be?? Settle things like a adult. Don't say 1 thing then do the other. If you're unhappy about it, say it out. There're ways to solve it. This world is about democracy and free speech. urm... for this part of the world, yes. ;-) Don't go about talking bad about people from what you've heard. Its unfair to the person. Be a gentleman! Be an adult!

Be the man. Make the right choice! Any more clips from that man? Russell Peters? Anyone?

The Bottom Line

Your high standards are admirable, but how realistic are they? Lighten up a little.

In Detail

Look, up in the sky -- high up among the clouds, there are your ideals! These lofty ideals are admirable, but how realistic are they? There is little point in having incredibly high standards if no one in the world can meet them. Plus, how much stress do you cause yourself by trying to meet those standards? It's time to get more realistic about what you require from the people in your life -- and from yourself, too. Lighten up, and learn how to enjoy and even cherish the quirks of others.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is quite true. I set really high standard for myself. Realistic? If i push myself, i believe i can do it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had dinner at neighbours house. Hotpot. Korean style, but without the chilli. Pretty alright. Its nice getting to know your neighbour. Especially if you're in a foreign country.

So fast. The week has ended. Mid semester test next friday. Got to do examples on last mid sem test. 'Do a hundred times sure get 7', as told by the tutor, a Singaporean getting his PhD.
This particular module has over 90% asian. and of this 90%, about 50% are Singaporeans. According to last year's results, 93% passed this course with 1 'idiot' refusing to pass. and of this 93%, 60% got a 5(merit) and above.

Best of Luck.

What a Day

Woke up at 7.10am in the morning to prepare for urm... Project. Its a session whereby the tutors will be there in the lab answering questions or provide some help or another. I was there at 8.05am, and there were like 5 students and 3 tutors in the lab? My team mates weren't there. I think there's some misunderstanding. I was there in weeks 1 and 3 but not in week 2, and they did the vice versa. Whats happening to me. Wanted to loan the toolbox that is being provided for the team, but the supervisor ain't around. Went to the library. The books that i'd requested had arrived. 3 books. Damn bloody heavy books. Take it as a workout and went home to have my meal.

On the way home, met this guy standing on a busy road junction giving out a tiny green book. Took 1 and was greeting with the words "New Testament. Psalms Proverbs" Hmmm...


Out of curiousity for what's inside, i decided to flip through. Guess what i found???


And there's more...

in Arabic, Indonesian, Traditional Malay language???

Whats the whole idea mate? Trying to convert our muslim friends?

Tomorrow will be another hectic day for me.

Something about Me.

Finally. A post about myself. Team project's gonna be tough this year. No software guy. This project mainly is about software. The hardware guys only need to bother about things like power comsumption and meeting the neccessary requirements. So, a major headache for the team.

Had an assessed team meeting today, I was the chairperson. My score was 35/50, which converts to 4.2% of my total marks. Overall comment was that I'm not a strong leader. I never was 1 since I started getting my life to evolve around the word 'team' since primary school where i was in the basketball team. I wasn't a exceptional player. Just 1 who managed to get into the team because there is a slot for 1. I'm just the kid who jokes around, gets everybody laughing. The joker practically.

Then came secondary school where i met my current bunch of 'gangsters'. We were in the band. Tanjong Katong Band to be exact. Participated in 3 SYF competitions where we won 2 gold awards + 2 Best Display Band awards and 1 silver award, 2 NDPs, 1 Chingay and a whole lot of fun. In my 4 years in secondary school, Band is my life. I can't really remember anything else besides those times during band practises. I hardly get to know my classmates cos i'm always together with those 'gangsters' of mine. I wasn't a leader in band, but still a joker. ;-)

There's 1 phrase that i heard or seen before
"If you can't be a good leader, be a good follower"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to feel a little ang mo. Whenever i start speaking English, there's this bloody accent in me. Gosh! Even during the meeting, the tone and accent automatically came on. I'm also starting to get addicted to ginger beer. Back in Singapore, the sight and smell of it always puts me off, but over here, I'm wanting for more. There's even 1 750ml of ginger beer in the fridge which i bought today.
Oh dear. Whats becoming of me?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wanted to change the layout of my blog today. Went around searching for 1. Wanted 1 that doesn't look as plain as the current 1. Don't you think that mine is a little too plain? Looked for some templates which are pretty decent, but i think there's a lot of work to be done to change 1. Got to edit this and that, resize this and that, where to put this and that. Too many things lah! Maybe during winter break where I have all the time in the world to design it.

So for now, that should be it. Longest entry i'd ever done.

Rot

Weekends are the days for me to rot. Did my laundry washing today! Lots of undies but only 5 shirts. Hahah.. I wear them by the colour. Dark and light. Wore dark colours this week. Will be wearing light this coming week! Hahah.

Watch about 20 laps of the F1 Melbourne Grand Prix before i fell asleep again. Kimi Raikkonen led from start to finish in his Ferrari. I was asleep, didn't miss any critical moments. Will Kimi win this year's championship or will Alonso with his new Merc-Mclaren team will it? Next round will be April 8 at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia.

As Sunday slowing goes away, Monday is calling me. Another week of hard work.

Something about Singapore

As I am typing this, Man U is 3 nil up against Bolton. Went for a gathering organised by the Singapore International Foundation (SIF). Its something about Singaporeans overseas coming together. Something like a Union. There wasn't a Singapore Students Union over in UQ. The last chairperson left the whole thing in a mess, as I was told, which explains why i couldn't find it last semester during market day. There're plans of "reviving' the union by this student by the name of Firdaus studying law.

The gathering is maining about networking with Singapore students studying in Brisbane. Managed to meet a guy, Felix, studying music in QUT (Queensland University of Technology), and an Indian who just got his PR a few days ago. This gets me thinking "What the hell are you here when you've got a PR? Why didn't you want to return to Singapore?"

Went shopping for grocery as well as for a new frying pan. The old one was pronounced dead as everything sticks to it. The new one on the other hand was pretty alright. The usual "non-stick" frying pan. Hope it doesn't ''die'' on me.

Man U is still leading by 3 nil thanks to goals from J.S Park (14,25) and W. Rooney (17). Yeah!!! Hopes Mr Park gets his hat-trick. Go United!

Ahh.... Released....

After such a stressful week, I felt rather relieved. All the pressure has been released. Having a real headache. Think i used up too many cells for the day. Got to unwind, but whats there to do over here?

Got 1 assessed meeting next week. I'm the chair. Got to prepare stuffs. I've got the weekend to do all this. Catching up on lectures and understanding them.
