Change of Weather

2008-10-20T09:45:00.000-07:00

Damn..... it's getting warmer and warmer. So hot!!! I think I rather have winter even though don't get to wear spaghetti strips and shorts. I don't like hot weather!!! Well, it has been a long time that I didn't update my blog. Hmmmm....Last week was terrible. Busy with assignments and EFDP final report. It's week 11 now!!! That was quick aye... I remembered Jia Ling said in the first week of the sem, "11 weeks to go". But now, it's one week to go!!! And we will be having finals on 10th, 11th and 17th of November.

I will be staying back in Perth for couple of weeks before I get back to Penang. Planned to work a bit and probably find a new accommodation. I think I will really go crazy if I continue staying in this curent place. I have no idea that how these people think. Wan Zhi and Sue behave diferently everyday. They talk to me in the morning, but they might not even greet me at night. Haha^^ weird people. I don't know how can they survive with this kind of lifestyle. Don't they feel tired, guilty for others who are beside them? I wonder if they treat their friends like this, or they don't even have friends? I wonder...... Anyway, Izah was saying that her housemates might move out and asked if I wanna stay at her place. Hmmm.... But, it's not furnished... To be honest, the rental that I am paying now is considered cheap, and I rarely could get a furnished room, good facilities with such rental that I'm paying now. I'm still considering if I should move out.... If I just don't care about them, that will benefit me as I'm having a good environment and cheap rental. But.... if I do care about what and how they behave, I'm gonna be the one who suffers, not them. Hmmm...... Need sometime to think about it.

Haih...... Having a few assignments this week. Need to hand in ES report on friday, finish up my pre-lab, and having a supervised quiz on this Friday. I talked to Mum these few days and she sounded very tired. She always know how to remind to take god care of myself, but she doesn't know how to take rest. Worried about her....... Weeee~~~ I'm going back to Penang very very soon!!! less than 2 months!!!

Alright, I gotta stop here...... kinda lazy to type now. If I do miss out anything happen over here, I will tell you guys when I see u!!! Take care guys~~

Got A New Job^^

2008-10-15T20:39:00.000-07:00

Hey guys..... Wow.... I have not updated my blog for couple of days. A few things happaned on me. The most exciting thing is that I have got a new job!!! I'm gonna be a Santa's photographer!! I can't believe that I got this job. I saw this vacancy on the internet and it seemed to be fun. I applied that probably a month ago and there was no reply at all till the past Monday. I finished my class at 2pm and went home straight away. As soon I reached home, I just feel like going for sauna in the City. I grabbed my bag, put in towel and some clothes to change and managed to catched a bus as soon as I got out from the house.

Well, I received a call unexpectedly. A man called up and was asking me if I did apply the job. And I was like, "Er....yea, I did". Actually, I can't remember if I did. Haha^^ So, I was like... saying yes all the way. And soon, he asked me to go for an interview. I told him that I'm able to make it on Tuesday but he did mention that he was actually available on that day, which is Monday. He set the place to meet which is the McDonald's in South Perth, which is really near to Metro Hotel.

And so, I got a new job!!!! I'm looking forward for this job. Hopefully it's gonna be fun and memorable!!!

"I'm Yours" by A Little Boy

2008-10-12T09:28:00.000-07:00

Hello...... How are you guys going? Well, I was working yesterday as usual starting from 7am. I ended my shift at 3 something and one of the chefs in the hotel gave me some chocolate cakes. Hehe^^ Never eat yet. He is an Indian, and I asked him if he can cook Tandoori Chicken. Yes, he can!! Anyway, yesterday there was a Malaysia group which came here for holiday. The tour guide is from Seremban. He has actually booked 7 rooms for his group and he had 2 rooms which are having late check outs. In the beginning, I was telling him that the late check outs wil be at 12pm, not later than that. If he is checking out later, he has to pay for another day of accommodation. He showed his tempered and was shouting in Chinese. Muka was beside me, she din even understand what is he saying, she walked away. Haha^^

When I was about to grab a bus at the bus station, I met the tour guide. He was about to go to the City as well. He gave me his name card, and told me that he earns a lot being a tour guide as I was asking him regarding the income that he gets. He gave me his name card, saying that we can have a drink when I'm back in Malaysia. Haha^^

I reached city about 4pm. I was after Woolies and so, I walked through Murray Street. I saw a little boy, about the age of 12 or 13, he was carrying a guitar, a set of speakers and a mic. He fixed them up nand started to sing. "Hey guys, I'm gonna sing you a song. It's Jason Mraz's song. I hope that you will like it", he said. I was hoping that he is singing "I'm Yours", the one I love the most. Hehe^^ He sang that song!!! There was a huge crowd, surrouding him. I took out a 2 dollar coin and gave him to him, he looked so innocent, kept on saying thank you to the people who gave him money.

I was talking to Tua Che yesterday. I was telling her that if she is thinking of having children. Hey look, don't ever have one child only, you are gonna make the only child feel bad. No siblings to play with and parents are busy with work. That's not bad aye.

Anyway, I got to stop here. Gonna play Red Alert!! Didn't play for 3 days d.... Take care!!

Finally!! It's Friday~~~

2008-10-10T06:45:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.. I think the last update was on sunday, wan't it? Sorry about that. Have been so busy with assignments and reports...

Well, this week is considerably hectic. I handed in my Electrical System assignment on Monday, Had a meeting for EFDP on Tuesday till Thursday, and am supposed to hand in two assignments today, which are the ES lab report and the EFDP drafted report. Oh yea..... with the Prelab. Haih.... It's gonna be a tiring day again. Damn it.

I"m up early today as I fell asleep last night without turning off all my electronics appliances. Hahaha^^ Until 1.30am, I woke up and just realised that. Anyway, I had a reallygod sleep yesterday night. Oh..... And I have Maths Quiz which I have finished it yesterday during the one hour break.

Hmm.... to be honest, nothing special happened this week. So I can't really elaborate a lot. Probably.... all about assignments. I guess I gotta stop here and I will see you guys very soon in Penang!!! I'm going back on the 6th of December!!!! Can't wait to see my family, I miss them tons....

Memorable Sunday!!!

2008-10-05T17:12:00.000-07:00

Hey guys...... I was about to update my blog yesterday right after I came back from work. But, I was lazy. I did type something, and I closed the window just because I'm tired. Well, I was working yesterday from 7am to 3pm. Mary was the one who worked with me yesterday. That was the first time we work together. We had some good conversations regarding what we used to do during free time. Haha^^ We have got the same hobby - Hong Kong series big FANS!!!!

I met Julian when I arrived at Metro and we have chit chatted a bit. There were many people yesterday we left their luggages in our store room. It was fully stored that the door was not able to be closed. I shifted the luggages for couple of times and I almost sweat out!! Hehe^^ I waited for my bus when I finished work, it rained suddenly and the wind was really strong. I planned to head to the city but the weather just didn't allow me. I got back home and taken couple pieces of sandwiches and took my bath.

It has ben a long time that I didn't watch the tv programs from satellite (Astro in M'sia, but Magix in Aussie). Looked up for the Taiwan tv programs which I used to watch in Penang. They are still very entertaining.... making so much lame jokes which used to stone me. Haha^^ Anyway, Wan Zhi and Sue were surprised with the way I laughed(the way I laugh is almost the same as Tua Che - recently). They joined me and they were eating spaghetti while I was having sandwiches again.

Well, I got up this morning at 6.45am which it didn't look like. That's why I got up as it was so bright and I just woke up by myself before my alarms ring. Wan Zhi and Sue were supposed to leave at 7.30am as they are working in Tony Ale at 8am. We had breakfast together and I was asking Wan Zhi about the shops in Harbour Town. After that, I went out to the laundry area and was collecting my clothes. They were about to leave, but Wan Zhi ran into the house again to grab her stuffs. Something happened which I did not realize. SHE LOCKED THE DOOR and I HAVE NO KEYS!!!!! Crazy... they have driven the car away half a minute ago, but I just can't get them. I was a bit upset as I was thinking that I will be waiting for them to get home at 7 in the evening. I tried to unlock the door by using the pin from the clothes clipper. It wasn't successful. Oh yea....for your information, I was in half pyjamas and house slipper at that time.

I grabbed the 3-steps-ladder and placed it at the gate. I clibed over it as it was built to be quite high (probably 6-7 feet? - much higher than my height). I fell down with bleeding arms. I walked to my neighbor and the door wasn't working. Well, lights were switched off, probably still sleeping. I got to the other neighbors, no one answered me. I moved forward to where the shop lots are. I saw a man who is preparing to start his business at the laundry shop. I asked him if he could lend me his mobile phone. "I don't have a phone", he replied. And then, I approached an Asian girl who was walking alone. I asked the same question and I have got the same answer. Well, they might probably be terrified by my look - the sleeping/pyjamas look. Haha^^

I went to one of those houses which are opposite mine. "Ding Dong".... Someone opened the door.
"Sorry Ma'am, is it possible for you to borrow me ur phone? I just wanna make a phone call as I was locked outside accidentally and no one is at home at the moment."

"Certainly darling. Please come in. I know this is something awful to happen but don't worry. Don't be panic.

"Thank you so much Ma'am. May I know what's your name?"

"I'm Susan. What abourt you?"

"I'm June."

That was the conversation that we have carried out when she opened the door for me. Well, I rang Mum a couple of times and she didn't pick up. I called Sean Che and she said that Mum has gone for morning walk. I told Sean Che that I'm being locked and she sounded worried. I wished my family could be with me. Tears dropped. Sean Che drove to Botanical Garden, I guess to look for Mum, just to get my housemates' number. Susan has made me a cup of green tea and she introduced her housemate, Dorothy who is a life coach to me. They have white hairs and so, I guess they are probably at the age of 70 or 75. Dorothy planned to go to the church this morning. But after some discussions, she decided to drive me to Tony Ale to grab the keys from Wan Zhi while Susan is going to the market.

I had a wonderful conversation with Dorothy as she shared her experience for being a life coach at the moment. I had no idea about this job, but now, I'm kinda understand what she does. She helps people to define goals and tells people what they don't really wanna hear. Well, she brought me there and I felt really thankful to meet up with her. Hehe^^

It's really a good experience for me to share with. It just happened unexpectedly. Nice~~~

Anyway, I headed to the city just now and was thinking of doing some shoppings. It's BABY PHAT day!! I was about to buy the handbag that I'm wanting for so long. Unfortunately, it was sold out. That's alright.... I will save the money first. I passed by Skunk Wear and they are having mega sales!! You know what, the Baby Phat tracksuit costs like 1 for 15 and 2 for 25 bux!!! Hey...that's Baby Phat! I tried like 10 pieces and I have bought 4 in total^^

Okie.... I gotta stop here. I have been typing this for like an hours plus. It's time to stop. Have a nice day guys!!

How Careless I Am

2008-10-02T19:38:00.000-07:00

It was raining last night and I had a bad dream. I can't really remember what I have dreamt about. But, I could roughly remember that something bad happens on me. Anyway, I woke up quite early this morning. Recently, I can't really sleep, as in I will automatically wake up at 6 or 6.30am the most even though I have set my alarm to wake me yup at 8am. I'm having tuition free week, but I have to go to uni today as there is a meeting carried out by my EFDP group.

I did my laundry this morning and watched an episod of my Hong Kong series. Eaten left over Domino's pizza as my breakfast and planned to leave the house earlier so that I could catch the bus in time. I couldn't find my Smar Rider Card... Damn it. I'm gonna be late for the meeting. Checked out all my pockets, bags, and even my drawers, still could't find it. Well, the only thing I can do is just apply another one. I walked to the bus stop where I could grab 176 bus which comes at 9.49am. Waited until 10am, the bus was still not there and one of the ladies who was waiting there asked me if we have missed the bus. I think we didn't.

The bus arrived at 10.05am. I paid for my bus ticket and was seeking a seat. I saw someone who looks like Kenny, Denis's brother. A bit familiar, not sure if that's him. I walked towards him and greeted him. That's him. We talked a bit and I told him that I have lost my Smart Rider card. He did mention that I could ring up Transperth and require them to freeze my account, so that I could transfer my balance to my new one. I got down at the 4th stop and walked to grab 98 bus. The bus was late again. It came at 10.20am. Damn it. I think I'm gonna make a complain regarding the recent late coming buses.

I had some discussion with my group and went to apply my new Smart Rider card at the BookShop. I paid for 15 dollars for the card and got a 10 dollars credit, which means I paid 5 bus for the card. We went out lunch at the chinese restaurant and got back to uni to continue our discussion. Well, came back home and eaten something. I came into my room and switched on my laptop. When I was about to place my house key in the plastic box which I used to keep my important stuffs, I just realized that my Smart Rider card was there!!! Hey....I did check out there this morning. Its position was parallel to the box divider and both divider and card are white in colour. Haha^^ How careless am I.... Wasted 5 bux for a card which printed a huge logo of Transperth. Paying that to advertise for them!!

Anyway, some thoughts have popped up in my mind suddenly. Yea.... I wasted 5 bux but I learnt a lesson. Mum used to tell me, everything that happens on us has advantage and also disadvantage. It's just the matter on how you look on the matter^^ If we think positively, we might live more happily. But if we don't, we are the one who are sufferring. I don't know what happen to Sue and Wan Zhi today. They don't seemed to be good in mood. I greeted them but they did not reply me. Kinda hard to catch what they are thinking. They are good in times but sometimes they don't.

OK... I gotta stop here. Dinner time~~

An Aboriginal Stranger

2008-09-30T17:20:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.... i would like to share my experience regarding an aboriginal stranger.

I went to uni just now and was about to catch a 99 bus at Curtin Uni main bus stop. I walked to the board which shows the timetable of the bus. As usual, the bus comes every 10 minutes. I saw a group of Chinese who are from China, they were standing next to the board that I have mentioned just now. An Aboriginal walked towards the board, checking out the timetable. As soon as he has checked out that, he turned around and talked to one of those chinese. The guy whom the Aboriginal talked to, was annoyed and he did reply the Abo, but not in a welcome way.

Well, I was sitting on the bench, enjoying my music with my ipod. Apparently, the Abo was doing nothing after chatting with the chinese. But, I think due to their "original character", which they used to approach people that they don't know, he approached me unfortunately. He was smoking at that moment, and I really hate smokers. He sat closely to me, and I did show him that I dislike smoke by putting my hand on my nose. He threw away the cigarette end and was trying a carry out a conversation with me. Well, his teeth and nails are all yellowish, I could notice that. He was asking me questions, trying to know me more. What I have told him about myself, like what I'm studying, how am I, ect.... I was being a 10-minutes liar^^

Sorry to do that...I feel bad to lie. But I have to, just for my own safety. Well, he took out a packet of cigarette or drugs, I don't know from his pocket, asking me if I would give a try. NO WAY!!! I rejected him, telling him that, "Sorry. I don't take cigarette". He kept that and continued talking nonsense.

The bus came. I got into it and that man has gone up to the bus as well. To be honest, I'm kinda worried if he is stalking me. I hope he doesn't. Anyway, I got down from the bus at Hill View Terrace, and was kinda alert and observing if he was following me. Alright, that's all for the story...and I think this is another experience regarding Aboriginals in Perth.

See you guys~

The Perth Royal Show in Claremont

2008-09-29T23:36:00.000-07:00

Today is gonna be a happening day…. I’m going to The Perth Royal Show in Claremont!!! I have never been to this show before and I'm so looking forward. Izah said that it’s gonna be fun and you will get different showbags which are so worthy. Hehe^^ can’t wait to go there.

I took a bus to the city and coincidently, I met Jia Ling and Denis in front of McDonald’s. We waited for Gerard, his girlfriend and Izah, oh yea…and Josh. There was a special train which brings the people to the Showground. It was a really good day….Sunny day with not really strong wind, everything is just nice. I like this feeling. And I met Lukas, the smart Australian guy, with his friend, Shore (if I don’t spell his name wrongly). We got into the train and Showground was the 6th station that we are after. It took us about 15minutes of train ride…Oh god…it was a huge crowd!!! Showbags are hanging around everyone’s arm. I can’t wait to get them!!!

The entrance ticket is killing me aye…24 bux!!! Killing me… Anyway, the first ride I went for was the Gravitron. I have never tried and seen that before. It’s like the rapid spinning of a pentagon-shaped container which creates the no-weight effect. I can never believe that until I experienced that by myself. It’s hell fun!! My body just move by itself (up and down – as I was leaning on a 45 degree platform) and I found it was hard for me to move my arms. I could feel the force which acts on me…Haha^^ I enjoyed that.

After that, I went for Nitro Ride. Haha^^ I have never expected that that was so crazy. It looked simple, not too challenging, but the moment I went up, it freaked me out!!! I think this is because it has been a long time that I don’t go for those rides. I played the rides at Genting Highland and I swear, the ones in Royal Show are way better, more challenging. I felt like throwing up after I came out^^ But I bought a foot long hotdog burger which costs me about 8.5o witha cup of chips. I shared that with Izah. I was wondering what combination of meat is that and Shore told me that, it consists of horse, dog, rat, and beef. SHIT!!! I trusted him a second...He has freaked me out!! Haha^^

We went to walk around the place and I got some showbags. The Cadburry and Red Skin....And I got a small penguine in the bag. I bought the toffee apple, which is an apple coated with a layer of candy. I was eating that and Josh was kinda curious what was that. I offered him for a try and he dropped the whole things accidentally. Haha =) He pay me back of coz, and I bought a buttered corn, and was sharing with Izah again. We walked for a period of time and I tried the hottest chili ever. Damn!!! It's crazy!!! I have never tried such spicy chili. I bought 3 bottles and thinking of bringing back for Sean Che. I'm pretty sure she will like it^^

After that, me, Locus and Shore went for the SKYWALKER. That was hell insane!!! We queued up and got the tickets which cost us 10 bux. Lukas was talking to himself, 'Locus, what am I doing here?" Haha^^ I knew he is feaked out. He asked the man standing next to him, "Have you tried this before?"..."Yea..I did"... "Hoe does it feel like? Did you throw up after that?"..."Nah...I don't feel anything" - That was the conversation between Locus and the stranger. To be honest, my heart was moving so fast...I'm freaked out as well. I got a seat, next to Locus, and I have never expected that they rise me up that soon. DAMN!!!! It looked like a spinning fan - here's the link : http://www.perthroyalshow.com.au/showbags-rides/rides/skywalker/ Check that out. Locus was swearing when we were in the air, "Holy Shit" I could hear that for like every 3 seconds. Muahaha^^ The part which was killing me was the machine stopped at a particular position, and it spinned 360 degree for like 10 to 20 rounds. SHIT!!! That was the most amazing time I had in my life, SERIOUS!!! Thank god I went for that ride.

Oh yea....The Toyota V6 Hilux Heroes and the Power Horse were really cool. The Toyota car was moving at a 45 degree lifeted from the ground position, which means it's only moving on 2 wheels. It moved in a big circle and it was given a standing ovation...Hurray!! And the cross-over of 4 Toyota cars was amazing too. The distance between them was like 1 cm? Isn't that cool? They must have been practising that for some time!! And the Power Horse.... Different colours of light bulbs were hanging around the horses and each horse has only one particular colour. There are 16 horses in total with 4 colours, which are green, blue, red and yellow. The horses danced in the middle of the court and the spot lights are switched off. The scene was amazing.... it looked like the fate horses were dancing, but it was actually the real ones.

And the FIREWORK time!!!! INSANE!!!! It was like about 20 minutes of fireworks, just in front of me!! I used to watch that in Malaysia during New Year Eves. But it has never been so near to me. It's like I'm sitting in front of a plasma tv, broadcasting the live fireworks in some countries. Haha^^ The ashes were falling over me. Unfortunately, I hurt my right eye. The ashes went into it and tears were coming out continuosly. Izah got the same situation as me, and we were like, "I hurt my eye"..."Me too" Haha^^ Anyway, I enjoyed the night very very very much... 24 bux was really worthy for me..... by experiencing the Gravitron, Nitro, Skywalker which I enjoyed the most, the extreme car show, power horse and the fireworks.

Oh yea..this is the picture that I took with my friends at the IKEA store. Haha^^ had lots of fun with them =) Gerard bought 2 showbags, one for himself, and one for his girlfriend. So we have 2 coupons....we took 2 pictures!!! I prefer this more..... Anyway, I gotta stop here.Bye guys~

TAKA for Dinner

2008-09-26T20:50:00.000-07:00

It's FRIDAY!!!! Hurray!!! I was so looking forward for today. I'm gonna have a free week!!! Haha^^ I checked the weather forecast yesterday and it said that it's gona rain today. Fortunately, it didn't rain. But it's kinda cold these few days. Yesterday was raining for the whole day and I have forgotten to bring my umbrella. Was so wet. Anyway, I brought my umbrella today and was thinking that it's gonna rain. I was rushing to the bus stop in this morning when I grabed the bus. I came out late and the bus arrived there as soon I came out from house. Thanks Mr. Bus Driver. He saw me dashing to the bus stop with my messy hair^^, he waited for me.

I went did my maths quiz yesterday night and I got the 3rd question wrong for twice. Damn. Got so fed up and decided to do it in the afternoon as I'm having 3 hours break after my maths lecture. I spent my break doing the maths quiz and maths tutorial. A bit tired...and I have forgotten to prepare lunch to bring to uni today. Bought some food from cafeteria. Got sausage with mash. It costed me 5.50bux. It's considered cheap. It usually costs 7.90. Anyway, the sausages(beef) were pretty good. I wonder how they cook the sauce.... it is..... IT JUST TASTED REALLY GOOD^^

I came back at 3.30pm just now and was watching the Moonlight Resonance. I fell asleep and woke up at 5pm. I invited Wan Zhi and Sue to have dinner tonight. They promised. But Sue changed her mind as she has quite a load of work to complete. She asked me to take away for her and I went to the city with Wan Zhi. It was so windy outside and Wan Zhi told me that she has got 4 layers of clothing on her. Haha^^ Crazy!!! It was really cold, but 4layers!!! Too much aye. I have got 2 layers only(excluding bra)^^ We arrived the city at 6pm I guess. Surprisingly, the restaurant was not really crowded. I think it's because of the terrible weather that we have and most people would rather stay at home.

Well, something popped out in my mind in a sudden. I feel so lucky to study over here. I'm actually undergoing a project on the enhancement of technology in Cambodia. This project is brought out by EWB and it's really a meaningful thing to work on. It is found that they are earning 50USD per year for each person. You could see how hard their lives are. I used to meet up with a few elderly at the bus stop. They have all white hair and having a recycle bag in their arms, they do their groceries shopping. Oh yea..... I met an old lady that day. She was saying that her husband is in one of the old folks home and her son is sending her there as well. She sounded a bit depressed, I could see from her eyes. Her son is going to Malaysia and might spend some time over there. In order to make sure that his mum is safe and fine, he decided to send her there. I wonder if that's the right choice for this situation. It might be, but it might not be.

It's uncertain to make a decision without thinking. To an old lady, she might think of spending more time with her children. I have a very selfish thinking previously. I planned to not going back to Penang anymore after I graduate. I felt bad at the moment as I have never thought of Mum's feeling. She used to tell me that I'm the motivator for her to work harder. To be honest, I felt a bit annoying. But, I don't know why. Maybe of the incidents that happened recently. I miss my family. Serious.... In life, it's very important for each person to appreciate and love their family. The most precious thing in life is family. There is nothing important other than family. Thinking back, in my memory, none of my memory is related to Dad. I remembered someone said to me, "Hey.... you're the girl who doesn't have a father". My tears dropped out immediately. That was the first time I felt so hurt, I swear. Anyway, I would like to thank to the person who said that to me. This is because she has given me a chance to get through one of the obstacles in my life. It seemed to be cruel and rude, but I have learnt a very significant lesson in my life. I remembered that I cried for about half an hour(non-stop). --- Mi, don't feel bad that you couldn't give me a good father. I have never put the blame on you, coz I know you love me the most. Really.... Don't ever blame yourself, it's just that he doesn't deserve to have such a great wife like you.

Mum just called me just now. Saying that Koko is going to our house to fix the LCD that she has just bought from him. Weee~~~~ huge screen!!!!!!! Thanks mum!! You're the best mum in the world!! Love you~~~

Mum's online. Gonna talk to her through skype!!!

Rain Rain Please Go Away

2008-09-24T23:55:00.000-07:00

The last day I updated my blog was monday. It's Thursday today!! Weee~~ getting closer to my tuition free week. I have got my electrical system result. It wasn't good. I'm worried that I will fail this unit. Fingers crossed.... I hope I can get through it. Anyway, I'm having my class till 5pm today. Damn. Usually, Thursdays and Fridays are the days that I'm not looking forward.When I first created my blog, I used to update it everyday. But now, I'm busy with this and that, eventually, I can't blog everyday. It's raining now. Rain, rain, please go away. Please stop raining...... I hope the weather turns to be good soon. I went to the city yesterday. Saw 2 super good looking guys^^ was a bit excited. Haha =PI met a lady yesterday in the city. She's a chinese. She stopped in the middle of the street as she was looking for her purse, I guess. There were a few Aboriginals who were standing behing her. They shouted at her. "Could you please don't stand her??!! MOVE!!!" Hey... they were being rude aye. Aboriginals are making the place so....erm.... I would say 'dangerous'. But, I like their arts. I'm a bif of culture vulture. The didgeridoos and their paintings have actully attracted me when I went to Frementle with Mum. We went in to an Aboriginal shop and the guy who is working there taught me the way to play didgeridoo. I wish to own one, and I can place it in the living room in our house. It looks so artistic if the wall colour is red or some cocoa colour. It depends on the colour of the didgeridoo.Anyway, I think I gotta stop here. Going to take my breakfast first. Kinda hungry now^^

-0.4 degree celsius @ dawn!!!

2008-09-21T07:33:00.000-07:00

Crazy!!! It was -0.4 degree celsius in this morning. I woke up at 5.30am coz I slept at 8pm last night and it was so cold. I have forgotten to switch on the heater last night =( Was so tired, standing for 8 hours at the reception. Well, I worked with Victoria yesterday for the whole shift. Apparently, I thought she was strict and hard to communicate with her. But, she is not as bad as what I have thought. She taught me and try to let me feel the real situation of being alone in front desk. I met Julian when I arrived at Metro. He was doing the night audit. Haha^^ he enjoyed the job as there is noone else in the hotel in the middle of the night. There were a few people checking out, and there were 4 ladies who came in and wanted to check in. They were saying that they have made a reservation under a group called Australia Education Group XXX. I don't know what's that. I went to check and one of those ladies was like, unhappy and her facial expression was showing like, "you fcuking asians, what can you do". Well, I know the words sound bad, but the way she looked at me, terrible.

Nah...that's alright. I don't even know her. I don't care what she thinks about me.uckily, I managed to handle that. Anyway, I'm having 7 hours class today and an hour break. Dying terribly. I have made some elbow pasta yesterday and am gonna bring to uni. Damn. I have just remembered that I have to finish up my EFDP report which I need to write a couple of paragraphs for the alternative cooking methods. And I need to hand it to my group tomorrow. Hmmm...... the non-stop work load....

Alright. I think I'm gonna stop here and prepare for uni. Have a nice day~~

Working on Sunday : (

2008-09-21T06:11:00.000-07:00

Wow….It has been a long time that I have not updated my blog. I can’t remember when was the last time I blogged^^ I was kinda busy for the whole week. ES report, EFDP weekly assignments, Work, Maths quiz….. all these stuffs that kept me busy and tired. Compared to last sem, this sem is much tougher. Jia Ling used to say that if we’re now having the life that we had last sem, we will definitely not able to manage that. It’s true. What we used to do last sem was like, we rushed back home and cook, watch Simpson’s, Family Guy and sleep. We did not work on our assignments everyday. Maybe twice a week? Unlikely, we almost have to finish up our assignments like everyday. Tired.

Well, I was not feeling very well these few days. I feel so dizzy whenever I look down to the ground. Not too sure why. I was supposed to hand in 2 reflective writings on Thursday and it has taken me a couple of hours to complete that. ES report has taken the most time. It took like a few days to finish it. I thought it was simple and will be short. I have typed all the calculations in my report and the part that I spent the most time was the discussion. Power factor, all the other properties are things that I’m not really good at. Thank god, BL taught me a lot and I did the prelab for Lab4. I was not too sure when I did that, hoping that I got the right answers. Haha^^ fortunately, I got all right!!! Can’t believe that, it was like 2 pages of Phasor diagrams which involve all the measurement of various angles.

I’m gonna work later at 7am. Wan Zhi is gonna send me there. Thanks a lot. I know she might not like that, but… thanks a lot. I went to the Tao centre with Sean Ee yesterday morning. Well, that old man was talking about The Noble Eightfold Path. I thought it was going to be so boring, but it turned out to be interesting. There were a few teenagers who are in the same age as me. I have expected that they are friendly and outgoing. Hmm….. but they seemed to be ‘cool’? Anyway, we just met for the first time.

Alright, I’m gonna stop here. Having work at 7am and it’s 6.10am now. Going to takem my breakfast. Bye~

Damn!! Samy.... How can you do that to me?

2008-09-17T19:37:00.000-07:00

Haha^^ I finished my lecture at 12pm today. Kian Teh who is the lecturer of Mechanics 100 is really a random guy. Yesterday was the first day of his lecture and he was introducing us the recommended text books. And he just said something like, "You can read it or you cake take it as the door stopper." What the hell....That's so random aye. Of all the objectss, the DOOR STOPPER^^

Anyway, I went to see Samy after my class and he thought me and Jia Ling about the vector space and eigenvalue. That was good. He explained really well, I think I am not able to understand if I read the notes. I rather want him to explain to me like what he did today. Well, we spent like an hour plus in his room and before we left, Jia Ling wanted to buy some chocolate bars from him. He was asking Jia Ling to guess the head or tail of the coin. I was beside her and he wanted her to bet with him. Jia Ling won and he was supposed to give her a dollar. Haha^^ He took out a plastic lizard!!!!!! That's the thing that I'm scared of the most!!!! My god!!! Damn Samy. He wanted to throw on me and I was screaming like nobody's business. Haha^^ Jia Ling was shocked!!!

It was fun anyway. And damn, I have to hand in 3 essays tomorrow and a report on Friday. The calculations are killing me. All the conversions of polar form to triangular form for the voltage, current and impedance. God!! I'm wondering how Koko do that. The weather is not good for study. It's definitely great for sleeping. It was raining so heavily and I was wet when I got to uni. Came back at 1 ish and the first thing I did was eat. Hehe^^ Was so hungry that I could hear the sound from my stomach.

I was listening to my iPod when I was waiting for bus. And randomly, I heard of a chinese female artist's song - Guo Jin. One of her songs is really really good. I have fell in love with that song. Hehe^^ I have been playing this song since 6pm till now. Non-stop, without changing.

Alright...I gotta stop here. Going to bathe. Talk to you later guys~

Surprise from Mum

2008-09-16T22:13:00.000-07:00

Woke up at 7 ish in the morning. Was so blur.... Washed my MNG jumper separately as I love that so much^^ Well, I drank a cup of warm water before I brushed my teeth. The reason that I did that was I felt like my stomach is empty and I wanted to sort of like 'clean' it. Eaten my breakfast and Wan Zhi called me suddenly, saying that there was a parcel for me. The weather today is pretty good. I was expecitng for rain today. Thank God!! No rain.... another good day in the week. Oh yea... Mum sent me a parcel, it's mooncake!!! Sweet~~~ I was so tempted to buy that in Northbridge, but the good ones cost like 23AUD for 2.

I packed my stuffs this morning and was supposed to work at Metro at 3 ish. Nothing special happen. I was wokring with Akari today and she is much much much better than Yashir. He talks to me most of the time and it's all nonsense. So LAME!!! Always thinks that himself is good-looking. Whatever...I don't care. At least Akari is much better than me, easier to work with her. Someone called up today, saying that she is overcharged by the bank and wanted me to explain that to her. Well, the only thing that I can do is to check her bills. There were so many check-ins today and was busy of making keys and taking people's credit card imprint.

There is another man who was so rude, and he shouted to Victoria. She seemed to be angry. Hehe^^ Deslie is going on her annual leave for a month!!! Jealous~~~ She's having holiday in Queensland and Sydney. So nice~~~ Akari is leaving as well, she is going back to her country - Japan for 3 months plus!!! Well, I was waiting for the bus for like half an hour. It was so cold outside and was so hungry. Just experienced the time when I'm really cold and in hunger. That's not really a bad thing aye.

Anyway, I gotta go now. Have to take my shower and rest. Goodnight guys~

Being A Good Girl

2008-09-14T19:45:00.000-07:00

I woke up at 8.45am this morning. The wind was so strong last night that it could wake me up in the middle of the night. I fell asleep when I was lying on the bed, watching the hong kong series. Hehe^^ Did not hear anything this morning as usually I will hear some noise made by Wan Zhi and Sue. Most of the time, they have their breakfast outside of my room and they used to talk so loudly that their conversation could wake me up before my alarm rings.

Well, I did my laundry today. It took me 3 times to finish all. I washed all my clothes and am supposed to wash all the cloths tin the house. Wan Zhi and Sue went out this morning to work. Wan Zhi has just sent me a text message, reminding me that I have to wash those cloths. Hehe^^ I don't know what word can I use to describe her. It's like....she wants people to follow her ways and I might say that she is being caring all the time. For example, if I'm not back home after 7pm(if she and Sue are at home), she will definitely ring me. But, if she's not at home, she wouldn't care. Well, each person has different eay of handling things. I'm not trying to say that she is busybody, but she's kinda concerning her housemate^^ Anyway, I satyed at home for the whole day, being a good girl. Haha^^

This week is not gonna be a good week as I have checked the weather forecast and it shows that it's gonna rain for the whole week. I have been having good weathers for the past two weeks and I really hope it continues. Anyway, I was looking for some Italian food recipes. I promised myself that I'm gonna make Tiramisu as soon as I got my pay as the ingredients for making that are quite costly - the marscorpone cheese. I have found a few different recipes for sauces and I planned to try some day^^

Alright, gonna stop here. Bye guys~

It's Thursday

2008-09-11T21:11:00.000-07:00

It's Thursday!!! So fast!!!! Well, nothing much today. Was a lil tired. I woke up early in the morning at 7am as I wanted to go to the library to search for some books for EFDP. I had mantao, bread, some fresh tomatoes, egg and a cup of chocolate drink. I was thinking that I'm not gonna take lunch later as I had a heavy breakfast. I arrived uni at 8.30am and was thinking that I should have enough time to get the books. Unfortunately, I left my sunglasses at the library at one of those racks when I was searching for the quorto large books. Damn. Was so blur, I think I'm getting careless these days, and I think I'm influenced by Jia Ling. She just lost hers on last Friday at City Beach. I went to the front desk and asked if they have found my sunglasses. I was told that I need to go to the Student Central where the place I get my student card and ask from them. Well, gonna ask them tomorrow.

Had 2 hours break and was doing my EFDP weekly summary. Me and Jia Ling went to Karawara and I had chicken rice and bubble tea. We ordered honey dew bubble tea but it didn't taste like honey dew AT ALL!!! I think I'm gonna complain to them. That's really bad aye. It was too sweet when the last time I bought it. But now, it is even worse that the flavour changed totally. We walked back to uni and attened the EFDP seminar at 12pm. Got back our team's report outline and we got 5.6 out of 10. Damn. It was not good. Cyndy gave 8 to Aaron's group. Yea.... they are the white ones =P

Anyway, I finished my class at 5pm and went to Kong's Oriental Shop. Bought some pau's and mantao's. Feel like eating that. It was cheap, it costs me about 1.75AUD per packet(9 pieces). Yea...that was alright. After all I'm working right now and Victoria has given me more shifts. She called me just now and was asking me to go for practice these few days before my next shift. She told me that she wanted to give me more shifts but she needs me to be familiar with the operation as she will be letting me to work by myself later. I have 2 morning shifts on Sundays and there is no bus that passes by my house. I asked Wan Zhi just now and Sue was saying, "yea....we can send you, but you need to bring us good food, like black forest, cheesecake....etc". She was saying that as I brought some blueberry cakes for them that they when I worked as a waitress in Metro. Hehe^^ They are actually not bad in terms of personality, it's just that they are influenced by Ah Yee (the owner of the house), sort of like "mama-mia" style. But, I'm pretty sure that they are just being caring. I told them that they need to send me there before 7am. Surprisingly, they weren't unhappy that they have to send me there that early. That was nice of them!!!

I just received a call from Mum and she was telling me that she wasn't feeling well this morning. She went to the hospital for check up. Mi, please inform me earlier. I'm worried. Seriously. You know what, the minute you told me that you were not feeling well, I felt like going back to Penang. I'm worried. Sean Che is also not feeling well in the past few days. *Sigh* Mi, please take good care of yourself, k? Promise me that you will look after yourself. Mum sounded tired. Mi, please rest more and don't worry about me. I'm good here and I will take good care of myself. Don't ever worry about me. I came here since last sem and I can handle it. Don't worry me, k? I don't wanna burden you. Please......... Sean Che, do take things easy and I'm sure you willt ake care of Mum. Tua Che, I'm pretty sure that you are having heavy load of work in KL but please don't stress yourself too much. And spend more time with Stanley, don't show your temper to him. Don't scare him, k? Hey Stanley KOKO (Haha^^), I should actually call you UNCLE, do take good care of my Tua Che yea. Don't bully her!!! You have to 'sayang' her, k? Hehe^^

I had a mantao for my dinner with green tea. I don't know what happen to my MSN. It isn't working. I called Sean Ee just now and was telling her that I'm going to her place on Saturday for dinner at One World Cuisine. Unfortunately, it is closed for a week due to the Mooncake Festival. And we planned to have steamboat at her house on Saturday night. Weee~~~~ That's nice!! I'm gonna take a bus to city and get the Joondalup train to Edgewater. Sean Ee will be picking me up at the train station. I'm looking forward to see her. Have not seen her for like 2 weeks. We were busy with our own stuffs and don't get to meet each other. Well, I guess I'm gonna buy here something, but I'm still thinking. Maybe cheesecake? Or some nice food. Hehe^^

I saw a handbag that I like it so much in the City. It's a BABY PHAT handbag (the Kimora's brand). it's white in colour and it looks so hot. I love that bag so much but it costs like 179.90AUD. Haih....... Actually, I can buy it as I'm working full shift and the pay I got for one shift can get me that bag. But.......still....alright, I will wait for it to on sale, and keep my money to pay my rentals. Alright, that's it for today and I'm gonna do my glass and ceramics research now. See you guys~~ Take care

Working Day~

2008-09-10T23:04:00.000-07:00

I woke up early in the morning at 7.30am and was so lazy to jump up from the bed. Well, the very first thing I did was to open the garage so that the sun could shine on my clothes. And, the second thing I did was dress up. It was really cold this morning. I was wearing a short and it was seriously cold. I caught a bus and reached the uni at 10am exactly. It was so cloudy today and I brought my umbrella with me.

I'm working at 3pm today and I have brought my stuffs together with me to uni as I think that I'm gonna go to Metro straight away. My mechanics lecture ended at 11.30am. Me and Jia Ling went to library and we had our lunch there. I met an indonesian guy at the common room in engineering building. He was asking me if I was taking the EFPC unit last sem. He was doing the same units as me. He failed and he has to redo that for this sem. He was kinda down and unhappy that he needs to retake and pay for that. Anyway, he has got 59 and that was considered failed. I just don't get that. I told him to talk to the faculty manager and he did say that he has talked to Gary. Hmmm...... that was weird. He should have got 'Pass' for that. But..... I have no idea.

Anyway, after having my lunch, I went back home and rested for awhile. I have checked the bus timetable and 177 is coming only at 2.34pm which is a lil late for me. So, I walked to the other bus station and wanted to grab 170 at 2.23pm. I waited there for like 10 minutes and the bus wasn't there. And so, I walked to another bus stop. While walking there, 170 passed by. Damn. I need to wait for 177, and I'm gonna be late!!!! I was kinda worried, hoping that the bus would reach on time. Thank god, the bus arrived on time. I reached the Vic Park transfer station at 2.55pm and I thought there was a bus that is coming at 2.55pm. I ran there and waited for a couple of minutes. Hey.. the bus was late!! Damn. It came at 3.03pm and it was raining heavily. I got to Metro and Victoria was saying that she was aout to ring me. Hehe^^ Oh...damn. Yashir is gonna have the same shift as me.

Whatever. I don't care. He is a guy who talk nonsense all the time. He was looking at the mirror and 'tidying' himself. When I did that. he was like "hey....u gonna break the mirror. stop that. that's my mirror." What the hell is that??!! Who cares? I don't mind. Well, I actually wanted to talk about what happened during my working hours. But I'm lazy to type it out. It's a long long 'dramas'. *Sigh*

I guess I'm gonna stop here. Kinda tired. Oh yea.... I saw a Baby Phat bag that I really like it. It's so hot and I hope I could own that. But it costs like shit. Well, I get to buy that if I work full shift for a day. Hehe^^

Damn Electrical System

2008-09-08T15:06:00.000-07:00

Argghhh. I'm gonna fail my electrical system. I will fail the unit, I don't want. Please...... I feel bad if I fail the unit and Mum has to pay extra for retaking that. I'm sorry Mum..........

I feel really bad. Sorry Mum........

Boring~~~

2008-09-07T15:12:00.000-07:00

I have upgraded my mobile broadband to the $29 cap which gives me the usage of 3G bytes. It's actually just enough for me as I will like can't live without the internet. Last month, I have got only 1G which I have overused for like $10. Anyway, 3G wil be just nice for me. Apparently, I felt like having the $39 cap which gives me 6G bytes. Well, if I get that, I'm pretty sure that I will stick to my laptop for most of time.

Well, nothing special today. Woke up and had milo. I had baked tomato rice with cheese and dessert(lek tau th'ng with sago). It tasted good!!! especially the baked rice. I added milk into it and the rice was finely baked that it was not to dry and not too wet. Yesterday night, I went to the chinese restaurant outside of my house there to meet up with Jia Ling, Denis, Ken and Kenny. We were talking about the dessert coz I was saying that I have coked some lek tau th'ng. Ken was talking about the bee koh moi which makes me feel like eating just now. I went to search for the recipe and it seems to be easy as long as I have the ingredient. Well, I guess I'm gonna get those ingredients after I finish my mid term exam and try to cook. Hehe^^

*Sigh* I satyed at home for the whole day and studied a lil on electrical system. The Thevenin's equivalent circuit is seriously killing me. Oh yea.... I have created a blog for Mum as she said that she wants to blog as well. Haha^^ she likes to learn those 'teenagers's stuffs'. Nah... she's just being curious about these 'young' stuffs. Anyway, Wan Zhi and Sue went for work this morning and they will be back in the evening. It's so boring at home. Nothing to do except study, watch drama, cook, eat, sleep, bathe and clean the garden. Haih..... Anyway, I have cleaned the garden. Saw 5 small pink flowers which grow in the garden. I love the colour so much and hope that they will grow more. Hehe^^

Alright, I gotta stop here...

Silly Day

2008-09-05T16:15:00.000-07:00

*Sigh* Today is not a good day. I have studied maths last night and was thinking that the test today will be alright. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out to be satisfying. Well, I cooked my lunch this morning. I have cooked some steam rice, and some salted vegetarian chicken(it’s made of those bean curds I think).

Attended the maths lecture this morning and rushed to electrical system lab as soon as it finished. I have got full marks for my pre-lab and received my first lab report. I have got 91%. Hehe^^ Felt so happy for that. Today’s lab was not too bad. It’s much simple compared to the previous one. It’s simply just looking at the oscilloscope screen and tabulating the displayed results. David (my lab tutor) is helpful and he tried to make us understand about the unit. I used to not understand what he is talking about but he does repeat to us all the time when we are in trouble.

I have done something stupid today. I was supposed to measure the resistance of the resistor using the digital multimeter. And what I have done was I tried to measure the resistance of the wires by not realizing it. I looked at the screen and was so annoyed that I couldn’t get the resistor that I was looking for. And the value displayed on screen was so much lower. Haha^^ how silly am I. Anyway, I had an hour break after finishing my lab session and heated my food at the common room. Wang Na had brought some food (some marinated and chicken which filled with some cheese and spices and cheesecakes!!!) from the restaurant that she is working at and we shared some of those.

I attended the maths lab and had sat for the supervised quiz. Well, it wasn’t well. I got 92% and it was considered low. *Sigh* Anyway, it is all over. I’m having headache since Wednesday and it made me feel so tired. Jia Ling is going to stay with me tonight. Hehe^^ so looking forward to stay together again. During last semester, both of us were so playful even this semester. We rushed back home everyday after we finish our classes just to watch Hong Kong dramas and eat Smith’s potato chips. That was crazy. There was once that we bought more than 10 packets of that in a day. And the cashier was asking me if we are having a party. I said that that’s only for two of us. Haha^^ He got a shock aye. By the way, I was waiting for the bus just now at the uni. Again, I did something silly. I tried to tag on with my student card, but not my Smart Rider card. Damn. What am I doing? I was so embarrassed for that. Anyway, it’s over. Hehe^^ another funny experience I have got.

Alright. I’m gonna stop here and will update my blog as soon as I have the time. See you guys~

An Hour of Lecture Only!!

2008-09-03T13:32:00.000-07:00

Today is a sunny day. Mum called me early in the morning. Felt so sweet, when I was sleeping, Mum woke me up. I felt so warm that I could listen to Mum's voice early in the morning. She did not call me last night. Well, I woke up early in the morning and dressed up. I walked to uni today. Haha^^ Jia Ling was saying that I'm insane. It took me about 25 minutes to get to uni. It was a long journey actually even I was listening to songs. The bus wasn't there and I just did not want to wait for it. But the street was quite quiet and I felt scary when I took off my headphones. I can't hear anything other than the wind that blows strongly this morning.

I was a little late, about 5 minutes for the Mechanics lecture. The lecturer finished the class at 10 something. Hey...it is supposed to be 2 hours long. But she finished early. I went for a meeting with Conrad, Jia Ling, Izah and Fanny for the discussion of report outline for EFDP. Well, we finished at 12pm and went for lunch with Joshua and Izah. And I now, I'm staying back at uni to do my research on the induction cooker for tomorrow's presentation in the communication class on info gathering. Damn. I'm loaded with thousands of assignments. Weekly summary, reflection, maths supervised quiz and info gathering. And I'm gonna go to Metro Hotel to fill up my salary form and hand in my Tax File Number(TFN) to Victoria, so that I can get my pay. Hehe^^

I just checked my mailbox and read one of those mails which was sent from Mum. It was about what Mum did that day and she told me her feeling in Penang. Mum, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to hurt you that day. Sorry..... I know that you love me, or else, you wouldn't send me to overseas for better education. I know. I will never suspect your love for me. But I'm sure that you know me well, I'm always hot tempered, but I never meant it. Sorry Mum.... and Tua Che, Sean Che, I'm sorry..... I can't do anything other than saying 'Sorry'.

Alright, I gotta stop here. Need to finish up my presentation thing and go to Metro. It will take me an hour to travel. Sigh. It's annoying to travel here. Need to walk a lot and wait for such long time. It's a waste of time actually. Anyway, I gotta go now. Bye guys!! Love you mum^^

Freo Day

2008-08-31T00:07:00.000-07:00

I woke up in the morning, and the first thing I did was took my breakfast which is the rice puff, mixed with milk and strawberries. I should have bought the mixed berry yogurt that makes the cereal perfect. I went back to room and watch The Seventh Day. This is a Hong Kong drama which I think it’s worth while to watch. The main characters are actually a real couple in life. The guy (Ah Weng) acts as a very caring guy, and I think he performed well in this drama. I wish I could get a guy like him^^

I took a bus to the city and walked around while waiting for Jia Ling. Apparently, we’re supposed to meet up there at 12.45pm. However, Jia Ling left Izah’s external hardisk at home and she went back home again to get it for Izah. I walked around the city, went in to City Beach where sells all the Roxy’s, Billabong’s, Rip Curl’s, Quick Silver’s stuffs. Haha^^ I wonder If I would go in if I’m in Malaysia. It’s consider to be expensive brand in Malaysia. I remembered last year when I was in Inti, to me, these brands are freaking expensive and those who can afford them are those who are really rich. Well, it doesn’t seem to be same when I came here. These brands can be described as affordable brand, like Body Glove in Malaysia. Everyone carries a Billabong, Roxy or a Quick Silver bag. Haha^^ of course, I have got my Billabong thongs and Roxy purses. I think my next target will be the Roxy bag!!!

I wanted to get one in the city today. I saw something I liked but it was kinda expensive. It costs about 50AUD. Hey….. it equals to RM 150 ish aye. Hmmm….I went to Woolworth and saw some cheap stuffs. I bought some spices as I’m gonna make lasagna as soon as I feel like doing. I got Oregano, Coriander and Parsley which is the most important ingredients in cooking Italian food.

While paying at the express lane in Woolworth, Gerard called up and he was saying that he is at the train station. From our conversation, I was told that he was with his girlfriend, Ming Hui (if I didn’t spell her name wrongly). Hehe^^ that’s sweet~ I waited for Jia Ling and we met up at the train station. I was just in time to jump into the train at Platform 7. We started our journey to the ‘west’ which is Freo and it took us about 25 minutes to reach there. Gerard was waiting for us at the bus stop near by the train station and he introduced Ming Hui to me. Well, she did not seem to be friendly as the moment Gerard introduced me, she did not turn over to say Hi. Well, I could only say that people do act in different ways in different situation. It’s gonna be wrong if I judge her like this. But hey….. first impression is very important aye. Nah….Not gonna care that much. Me, Jia Ling, Ming Hui and Gerard walked to Cicerello’s and no one was there. Damn. I thought we are supposed to meet there at 2pm? No? It was 2.30pm when I reached there. Well, we were not punctual but still, we were the first to reach. I was so hungry and Jia Ling was like, “No way, I have exceeded my meal time. I need to eat now.” She then called Conrad and she was told that he’s reaching soon. Hey….he was in the train that time. Is that really soon? After couple of minutes, Izah reached and we ordered our food. Hehe^^ We have got a Seafood Pizza and a Seafood Tray. The pizza was awesome. Comparatively, the pizzas from Ciao Italian are much better than this. I shared with Jia Ling and Haha^^ we did not have to ‘snatch’ with those guys if we’re all sharing together. Conrad and Tai cut their hair today. Hmm….. it was OK, but very very very very expensive!!! Tai got his hair cut for 37AUD and Conrad’s was 20AUD. Damn. If you convert it to Ringgit Malaysia, 37 x 3 = RM111.

We finished our lunch and walked to Time Zone. Few of them played some games but I didn’t. I’m seriously broke this month. Well, we spent our day in Freo and Farid sent us back to the city. We were there about 7pm. Ken went to the city for dinner and we met up at a Japanese restaurant (can’t remember the name). Denis ordered the Katsu Curry Chicken, which is actually the Japanese curry. It tastes good. I wonder what they use to cook that. I’m gonna find out one day. Haha^^ I knew I can get the ready made one from the supermarket. But I’m gonna find out the way to cook it by using those raw ingredients. It’s fun if I could cook that from scratch. I came back from the city at 9.25pm and was really tired after traveling for such long period. And I’m gonna work tomorrow. Saturday……. Well, it’s gonna be a 3 hours shift. So, that will be fine. But I need to wake up at 5 something as my bus will be coming at 6.30am.

Alright, I’m gonna sleep now. Mum just called up and was saying that Tua Che is still on her way back to Penang. So I’m not gonna wait for her call, need to sleep early. I will talk to you tomorrow, Tua Che. Have fun in Penang yea^^ Goodnight

Lasagna

2008-08-30T22:21:00.000-07:00

I have cooked my first lasagna in my life^^ I came back home from work this morning and reached home about 11.30am. I went to the Eziway which is the mini supermarket nearby my house. I have chosen a tomato and got a loaf of bread. I realized that I left my purse at home while queuing at the check out. The guy who comes from Medan was about to serve me and, I said, “Oh no.” What happened?” , he said. “I left my purse at home; I will be back in a short while. I’m sorry about that.”

Haha^^ was a little embarrassing. Well, and then, I started to prepare lasagna after getting those stuffs. I pre-heated the oven and diced all the ingredients (mushrooms, vegetarian ham, zuchinni, carrot, apple) I cut some fresh tomatoes and put into the oven for couple of minutes. Hmmm………. I don’t think I’m gonna type out all the steps. I’m tired today. Woke up at 5.45am. That was early aye. It was kinda scary when I was on my way to the bus stop. The street was so quiet and the sky seemed to be cloudy this morning. I could hear the crows which makes lots of noise. I kept on praying for the bus to arrive earlier. The environment has really freaked me out.

I have only 3 hours shift today and it was not bad. Pretty good. It’s just that Yashir who is not being serious all the time has actually annoyed me for that period. There is only one word that I can used to describe him – INSANE. Come on…he told me that he’s a gay. And so, I told him I’m a lesbian. Hehe^^ he was frustrated and he was shocked when I told him that I do play CS.

Sean Ee came to my house today and we had lunch together. She has prepared some sushis which need not rice. She used BREAD instead of rice!!! That was amazing. That was creative aye. Nah….she got the idea from her friend. The sushis were coated with sesame seeds and they were really nice. I like that.

Mum just called up and had a great conversation with Sean Che. Well, she kept on telling me not to work, but concentrate in my studies. Yea, I know that. But since I am able to earn my own allowance, isn’t that a good thing? I know she cares about me, she doesn’t want me to be so tired. Well, I’ll see. Depends on how my life goes^^

Anyway, I gotta go now. Gonna take my bath. Bye guys~

Meeting at the Uni

2008-08-28T14:45:00.000-07:00

I woke up early in the morning at 7am. The first thing I did was took my toothbrush, went to the laundry area, and brushed my teeth. I think my soul was still in bed that time. I can’t even open my eyes totally. Well, I slept at 11.15pm last night. Not really late. I went for dinner with Sean Ee last night and we talked all the way from getting out of the house and getting back home. We had our dinner at the One World Cuisine which is sort of like the charity restaurant, where you just need to simply donate some money after having meals there. The food there is pretty tasty. Oh yea… it’s all vegetarian food. But still, it’s tasty!!

I walked to the bus stop this morning to grab a bus to uni. At the bus station, I met the Indian lady who I used to meet at the bus stop. I don’t know her name. We talked a little and she told me about Wan Zhi and Sue, and was asking me where am I staying at. Oh yea, Mum, you met that lady before, the lady who is very thin and tall, with her small sunglasses. Remember? She told me that there was one of the girl who was going to visit her uncle, and that’s Wan Zhi. I told her that that was my housemate. She was surprised to hear that and from the conversation we had, she is a vegetarian as well. Of course, I grabbed the chance to ask her on how to cook curry. Hey… Indian curry is not easy to cook aye. I was telling her that I have no idea on how to cook the ‘standard-type’ of curry. She has invited me to her house and she’s willing to demonstrate once for me. Weee~~ Can’t wait to see that. Hehe^^

After having my EFDP meeting, I walked to the bus stop and met Mira’s friend. I don’t really know her. But I greeted her. From our conversation, she said that Erica Underwood House has been being ‘attacked’!! The cleaners who come to clean the place every month after the inspection were attacked by some guys at the laundry area. Damn. Since last Friday, there were a few security incidents happened around the area. Wan Zhi just told me that there was a girl who is being attacked by someone the day before yesterday (Tuesday). It’s scary. I rather stay at home, watch tv programs, do my revision aye. Recently, I could see that there are cops around the area and, well, why do cops come after things happened? It’s useless. Yea… It might help to reduce the possibility. But something has happened. The victims are hospitalized. Please…. Fingers crossed. Stop all these bad stuffs.

I was so hungry after the meeting and wanted to make lasagna when I got back home. Mushroom, cheese, lasagna sheets, vegetarian ham, zuchinni…. Was thinking of what ingredients I have in my fridge. Well, that’s all. Oh yea… I got diced tomatoes. But I’m short of something……….Capsicum!! How can I miss out this important ingredient? Hehe^^ got back home. However, I did not make lasagna. Was so lazy to dice all these ingredients. I had sandwich for my lunch, added avocado, hommus dip(contains blended capsicum, cheese and some other things), lettuce, and some white sauce that I cooked. Toasted in the oven for couple of minutes. Weee~~ Moved my laptop to the dining table which is facing the huge garden at the back of the house, placed my food in front of me, perfect slightly-toasted avocado coated my the hommus dip, it was awesome. I have toasted the bread just nice where the outer layer of the bread was so crispy but the inner part was so soft that it was perfectly matched with the avocado.

Ok. It’s time to stop now. Gonna cook my dinner~~~ The time when I enjoy the most…

6 hours training

2008-08-27T17:03:00.000-07:00

Damn. Used up my 6 hours time and was not paid for that. Well, it's kinda not motivating. Anyway, I have gone through that. The training seemed to be tough in the beginning as there were lots of things to know, especially it's all about checking in, checking out, bookings and privacy issues. I'm absent-minded, so it was tough for me to remember such many things. But, after going through the training, it seemed to be not bad aye. Victoria, who is the one incharged to guide the 'new bees' is quite patient in teaching us.

There were three of us. Other than me, there were Jia Ling who is named as 'July' by Kenny as Marino did not know how to pronouce her name last Saturday and another lady from Mauritius, called Shelly (some pronouce as Chili). Haha^^ PLEASE!! The first day we met was the day when we went for orientation. Hey... she was acting as if she owns the hotel, as if she is so familiar and knows the job so well. Yeh...I know, she just wanna show that she is the one who can perform better. Anyway, who cares? On the first day when she came for orientation, she wore high heels and skirts, and with some 'brown rice' coloured blouse. Hey....Com' on. Are you thinking that you are applying for manager position? high heel?? blouse? You are a receptionist!!! Who else can see that you are wearing high heels when you are standing at the front desk?

By the way, I met a guy today, name Yashir. Guess he is an Indian. Well, the way he talks is kinda weird. When I ask him, "Where do you come from?". He took like years to answer me. I'm not sure what is he hesitating. But he just like, didn't want to answer me. In the end, he was like,"Yeh, I'm same as you, Malaysia, Singapore". Okayyyyy..... I don't really care where does he come from since he has been acting that way. Well, nothing much today. Just learnt about Hill View, Standard River, Superior, Executive, Studio Apartment and also the HoneyMoon Suite. Haha^^ and get the customers' credit card imprint.

Ok. I gotta stop here. I have been using my housemates internet. I think they don't know about this. And I think they are gonna get shock when they check their usage. Hehe^^

Just a normal day... Nothing special

2008-08-26T21:05:00.000-07:00

Today is merely a normal day for me. I was supposed to go to uni earlier as I wanted to do some research on the project that I'm undertaking now. Well, I overslept. The alarm rang. I could hear the song 'Take A Bow' which is one of my favourite songs. Ridiculously, I thought I was in the dream. And therefore, I continued to sleep. In a sudden, I jumped out from my bed and realised it was 8 something, going to be 9. Haha^^ was in a rush, brushed my teeth, drink a cup of hot chocolate, that's it! Ran to the bus stop, and I was just in time to grab the bus. Lucky me~

Got to uni and went in to one of those discussion rooms. I was looking at the air asia which offers free seats!! Damn. I was about to buy and wanted to go to China next year. Well, I might be a bit rush for making such decision. Told mum about that, and due to the weak connection in my uni(as I've almost used up my allowance bytes), and I think due to the lack of man power, Mum sounded to get fedup with me. I could hear that she doesn't really want me to go. I think she wants me to go back to Penang during my vacation. Umm..... Yea. I understand that she wants me to be with her. But..... Alright, I'm stil young. Lots of time for me to do whatever I like^^

I came back from uni at 3 something and eaten some food. I was supposed to take dinner with Sean Ee tonight and, couple of hours ago, Sean Ee called up and told me that the restaurant is not opened today. Well, we gonna make it tomorrow. Wan Zhi and Sue came back around 8pm and I have taken my bath. Nothing much. Wan Zhi asked me if I do realise that there were many cops around our uni. I did not realise that aye. I think this was because of the security incident occurred near the Curtin campus on Friday night. A female student was atacked while walking home along Hayman Street near the bus station just after midnight. She was approached by three man and one of them had pushed her down, and it was believed to be a robbery. The assault was reported to the cops and is still under investigatio.

Damn. Today did not do anything much. Just went for meeting and came back, watch movies. But still, kinda tired. I'm getting older ><

Alright guys, will talk to you later. Take care~

Terrible Week I Had

2008-08-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

It's tuition free week!!! Hurray~~ Last week was a terrible week for me. I was fully loaded with tons of assignments and did not manage update my blog. Well, I was supposed to hand in my EFDP portfolio which consists of all the written works to Doug Myer(the lecturer of the unit). It took me about a day to complete all these assignments. I thought I have finished all my work and so, I was kinda free next day. While having my 2 hours break, Jia Ling told me that I have actually missed out one of those tasks. Damn. I have to finish my one whole page essay in this short time... It was really a rush. Fortunately, I managed to go through that. And during my next one hour break, I was about to print out my essay at the computing building which is located near to engineering building. Hmmm... I think that was an unluncky day for me. The printer doesn't work and I got panic. I ran to the library and was thinking of printing at the library. Well, the printing room was fully booked. There are 2 printers there and there was only one which is functioning. The queue was long and I had no idea that how could I go through this. Luckily, Wang Na told me that I could print it at some other place. Thank God, gone through that.

And Friday is the most terrible day. I had 3 hours break and went out with Jia Ling, Izah and Fanny. We went to Carousel as Fanny wanted to get her LG Secret which looks 'secretive'^^ and Jia Ling and me wanted to look for boots for our new job at Metro Hotel. Well, my budget was 20bux. We went to Target and found out that the minimum price that we could get was 29.90. No way!!! That's over my budget. And then, we got our boots at Spendless Shoes. It costs me 19.90. Well, that was not bad aye. Quite comfortable. We got back to uni and went for maths tutorial. Samy sounded angry and kept on saying,"Guys, look, you have to put effort". Yeah.... He's good. He cares of all of us. After the tutorial, went to the computer lab to finish up my online maths quiz. Damn. The questions were hard. I was about to finish the last question and the system was not working well. Mohit gave the wrong answer and he has got full marks for that. The system is going crazy!! I went to the IT desk and told them about this. He came to the lab and said,"well, I can't do anything, you need to look for your lecturer". What the hell...... That's the system's problem. I ran down to look for Samy and he followed me to the lab. He left his class which was having their test. guys, you gotta thank me for giving you the chance to CHEAT!! Haha^^ My due time was 5pm and Samy came up at 4.58pm. Samy was quick, he told me what to enter into the system and Thank God, I got the marks for that.

Yezterday was also a tiring day. Cleaned up the house since morning. I wanted to wash all my bed sheets and clothes as I was not around on Saturday(Saturday is the day when I can wash my clothes). Wa Zhi and Sue were washing theirs. And so, they were gonna occupy all the drying areas. Well, I don't care that much. Wan Zhi asked me to wash today. But I won't be at home. I washed mine and luckily, it was a sunny day and their bed sheets dried up quickly. I washed Ah Ee's Subaru and suddenly, Wan Zhi was shouting Sue's name. Asked her what happened. Well, she wanted to clean up the pond and managed to take out the bird statue. But she can't put that back. I offered to help her and she was like, warned me that I'm gonna be wet. nah... that's alright. I was washing the car and have actually ecpected that I will get wet. I stepped into the pond and damn, the water was freezing. My feet had no feeling at all, NUMB!!

Well, Before I got there, Wan Zhi has broken the statue and, I think she got terrified. Ah Ee is gonna 'kill' her when she is back, I guess. Both of uswere trying so hard to fix that back, but that was so heavy. Sue came out and 3 of us tried to fix that back. Hey.... I was wet from the top till the bottom. Goshh...... freaking cold.

Today was not bad. Woke up early in the morning, washed my clothes and cooked lunch for Sean Ee. I cooked white sauce ham and pumpkin, baked beans with eggs and honey chicken. Hehe^^ great achievement aye. Sean Ee seemed to enjoy my food. Sweet~~ The feeling was awesome when you see someone you care of is enjoying and appreciating what you have done for him/her. Isn't that life? Isn's that nice when you know someone care about you in this world other than your family? Like this morning, Jia Ling called me, I left my phone in the room and was cooking in the kitchen. I saw the missed call and called her back immediately. I was supposed to go to IKEA with her today with her housemate. Sorry Dear. Didn't manage to go with you as I'm meeting up with Sean Ee. Jia Ling told me she bough wildberry cheesecake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeee~~~ She's gonna bring me some tomorrow. Haha^^ get so excited when CHEESECAKE is mentioned to me. Hehe^^ Thanks dear!!

Alright, gonna stop here. Will update my blog as soon as I'm free^^
Take care guys

My First Ipod~

2008-08-17T00:30:00.000-07:00

Weeeee~~~~~~~~ I have got my first Ipod Touch today(should be yesterday - 16.8.08). I bought it this afternoon with Jia Ling in the city at Myer. Haha^^ was so amazed with the super-high tech interface. I went to Jia Ling's house and was trying to connect my ipod touch to her wireless but it was unsuccessful. Hmmm... I'm still struggling with the operation of this thingy, to be honest. After I came back from Izah's place, I spent all my time with this Ipod till now. And, I was having some difficulties to download the applications into my Ipod.

I have actually asked Ding Sheng who also owns an ITouch last year. And the way he answered me was making me so fed up. Yea..... I'm a beginner and have never touched any Apple product. He kept on typing 'lol' right after I asked him a question. Alright, chill man. Stop thinking negatively. Hmmm.... everyone has their own way of handling problems and well, if I keep on thinking negatively, the so-called 'negative charges' are gonna stay around me and increase as time goes on. Seriously, this is true.

Well, I have just found out that I need to upgrade my current ITouch to a latest version and I'm still struggling with the installation thingy. If I don't fix this up by tonight, I don't think I will on to the bed. Hehe^^ I hope it works. But if it doesn't work, I'm gonna look for the guy who is working at the Apple Dept in Myer. Hmmm.... that's not really a big deal anyway as I planned to go to the city tomorrow to get an ITouch leather cover which looks cool, according to Izah and Farid.

Happy Birthday to Izah!!!!

2008-08-17T00:12:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO IZAH
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Babe!! She had turned 18!!! Haha^^ that was the moment she was waiting for such a long time. She was so excited to be turning 18. Well, we had fun at her boyfriend, Farid's place. We had some spaghetti which was cooked by Izah. It was the tomato sauce which I don't like that much compared to the cream sauce. Well, it was tasty, but a lil sweet. Izah bought some sausages and buns and we had barbeque which is the typical Australian's cooking method at her house. The beef sausage itself is actually the chili flavoured and Joshua and Gerard were kind off struggling with the spicy sausages.

I went to the city in the morning with Jia Ling. We were supposed to meet up in the city at 11am. And Jia Ling called me this morning after she woke up (I think) and I did not pick up her call. I missed my bus and I had to walk to the next bus stop which took me about 15 minutes to get there with my 3 inches high heels. It was ok, it's just that today is a hot day. I checked the temperature before I went out and it showed that it's about 16 degree celcius. Haha^^ I was about to sweat for the whole morning. Jia Ling has taken the same bus which I was waiting for. Eventually, we met in the bus. Haha^^ the first thing she told me is that she's not gonna talk so much as she did not brush her teeth after she woke up. OMG!! She's dirty, isn't she? Nah.... the reason for why she didn't brush her teeth was the toilet in Denis house was dirty as someone has vomitted there last night. Hmmm.....Well, someone was drunk I guess.

The Naughthiest Kid Ever

2008-08-15T00:47:00.000-07:00

It's 12.01am now. It's Friday!!! Yesss...... For this sem, Thursday and Friday are the worse day compared to the others. Well, my classes start at 9am and end at 5pm. It's not as enjoying as what people used to talk about. But, to be honest, it depends on what course and which year are you in. Sue, my housemate, she is in her chemical engineering final year. Apparently, she has 6 hours class on Wednesday. She had received an email regarding on the cancellation of the classes on Wednesday. Jealous.....=( However, she stayed at home for the whole day, rushing up her report.

I was supposed to wake up early in the morning as I'm having Mechanics Quiz today and I need to do some revision on it. I have set my alarm to wake me up at 6.30am. Unfortunately, I off the alarm and continued sleeping til 7.00am. Jumped out of my bed and did my revision till 8am. It was not long, but I can say that, "Luckily I studied!!!" Haha^^ I scored 80 marks for my uiz. Well, it's not really good, but it's better than what I have expected. I brought my laptop to uni today and I was really tired carrying this heavy stuff. Hmmm.... can't wait to get an IPhone!!! I'm pretty sure it's gonna be useful for me.

I had 2 hours break today and me with most of my coursemates squeezed in one of those discussion rooms in the engineering building. Haha^^ we had fun by talking all thoses nonsense and were doing our maths quiz and reports. Joshua, the Singapore fellow, came in the room and asked me in a sudden, "Hey..... why didn't you hang out with Hanson?" And I was like stunned, why are you asking me such question in a sudden in front of so many people. Well, we're just friends. Haha^^ nothing more than friends.

I attended my EFDP Design Workshop today and I was a little disappointed coz my idea is rejected. It was being used apparently and it was found that the method is not working out perfectly and it does not really serve the purpose. Nah.... that's alright. Chill^^ This saturday is gonna be Izah's birthday!! She's turning 18. She is so looking forward to turn 18. The reason is that she doesn't need guidance anymore. I have shared the presents for her and me, Jia Ling and Josh went to buy her present on Wedmesday afternoon. We bought her an Billabong indoor thongs, a Roxy Wallet and also a Billabong cosmetics bag. I like the thongs and wallet so much. Well, it's not really expensive but she's gonna have that. So, I won't buy that. Those who know me well, they do know that I don't like to have the same thing as others have. And also, if I like something very much and when I own it, erm.... noone can touch that. Haha^^ Jia Ling knows. Coz I used to not let her touch my laptop when I first bought it. But it's alright now. Coz it's no longer new after using for more than 6 months.

Oh yea.... back to my title : The Naughtiest Kid Ever. In the evening, I was doing some researches on my report which is due today (Friday). I came back home about 5.20pm and the first thing I did was eat. Well, I finished my meal, watched an episod of Hong Kong drama since I'm not having much time to watch. And then, I heard someone opened my house door. Thank God, it's Wan Zhi and Sue. Sue is having a severe gastric pain and she couldn't stand up for an hour I guess. Alright, it was 6.30pm. Con(not sure if I have spelled his name correctly), who is one of Ayi's good friends came to our house with his 5 or 6-year-old son, named Daniel.

Here comes the Oscar best actor!!! His dad knew that Sue is not feeling well and offered to get her some medicines from his house. Daniel told his Dad that he wants to stay at our house. Well, of course, his Dad felt good having such cute son. I could say that Dani is cute and he looks really smart. You just can't predict that he is such a kid. Haha^^ here comes the DRAMA!! He came in our house, and the first thing he did was ran to my laptop. I didn't know what he has done to it. He ran to our living room, and he turned the clock with his fingers. It's an antique clock which me myself don't even touch it before. Haha^^ I wasn't there that time. He ran to Wan Chi, telling her that the clock is not working anymore. Wan Zhi went there to have a look. What she has got was, the needles came out and the clock is no longer working. Meanwhile, Dani ran to me and told me that he has broken the clock. And I was 'amazed' with his words. He told me, "Hehe...I twisted the clock and she doesn't know." What??!! 6-year-old boy??!! Well, Wan Zhi had nothing to say exceot that she was trying to figure how to fix that clock back.

Wait..... the DRAMA hasn't end. Dani ran out of the house and cried suddenly, saying that he wants his Daddy. I didn't know that he is the best actor. I approached him, and trying to comfort him. He screamed even LOUDER!! Haha^^ Wan Zhi was hinting me that he is actually pretending. Fine Fine Fine. His dad came back. He ran to his Dad and cried, saying that he doesn't wanna stay at our house. Hey..... you were the one who wanted to stay back!

Both Con and Dani left and I went back to my work place. Wan Zhi came to my room, and we had a short convo. She mentioned to me that Dani's Mum left Dani because of money and all the while, Con is the only one who takes care of Dani. At that moment, I started to realize why Dani acted that way. Perhaps, he wants more attention. According to Wan Zhi, Dani fights with his friends and so, he doesn't have any friend. I'm pretty sure that he feels bad for not having any friend. Em...... I was thinking that what if Con pays more attention on him, would he be better? Yes..... definitely,he will. Con is actually now a bus driver who drives Dani to school everyday. Hey.... that's so good of Con. He chose to be a bus driver just to spend more time with his son. That's sweet~~ But still, Dani doesn't have a Mum since he was born. I feel bad for him.

Hmm......this is life I think. Everyone has their own responsibility to change themselves in getting along with this world. We can't expect others to change, what we can do is change ourselve to fit others need. It sounds unfair, but NO!! It wil just benefit ourselves for learning to be 'flexible'. Guys, I gotta go now. Having an early class later. Bye~~ Do take care guys. I will never forget any of you who reads my blog. Goodnight~

Well, Well, Well

2008-08-12T23:39:00.000-07:00

Hmm...... today is not really a good day for me. Well, I have got my job at Red Rooster. My application was successful. Unfortunately, the pay is not as high as I have expected. Sighhh... I have worked fro 3 hours plus at the chinese restaurant today. I was scolded by the boss. It was not my fault, she hs taken the wrong order and she blamed me!! Both her husband and her scolded me non-stop. Fine...Chill man. Seriously, I got really fed up in that moment. But iI stil can take it. I used to meet those 'kuai lan' people (that's what Jia Ling used to say).

Alright, I think I'm gonna resign this current job and get some other ones. I'm not highly paid but I am supposed to be an all-rounder in the restaurant. Hey..... come on. I wouldn't meet this situation if I were to work with an Australian. This is the difference between 'ang mo' and 't'ng nang'.

Ok.... I'll stop here. Bye guys~

Happy Birthday to Tua Che!!!!

2008-08-11T20:42:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to Tua Che, wishing you all the best in everything, of course, get married as soon as possible!!! I can't wait to participate in your wedding, I'm serious! The main wish from me to you is I hope everything goes well, especially your health. That's the most important thing. And the next thing is, of course, be safe whenever you are working outside (coz you used to drive so fast^^) and I wish that Stanley treats you good all the time. Well, yea, he's kinda 'uncle' type (although sometimes I also can't stand his uncle-ness. Haha^^ but he still treat you good, I can see that.

Today is the first day of the week. Well, nothing special. The same routine I have. I woke up at 7.30am and washed my clothes which have been in the laundry basket for a week. I have brought my lappie to uni today and was rushing to grab the bus at the bus stop outside my house. The minute I reached the bus station, I just realized that I did not bring my laptop charger. Goshh.... what's the point I take my laptop??!! Hmmm.....I was praying that Izah brings her lappie, as well as her charger. Hehe^^ The bus arrived late and I was 2 minutes late for my first lecture which starts at 9am. Thank God!! Izah brought her charger^^

Hmmm..... Finished my first lecture and then dashed to my next lecture which is at the other end of my uni (Journey to The West). Apparently, I wanted to give Tua Che a call after my 2nd class. However, I was being busy with my coursemates and I was too hungry. Taken my meal at 11.15am and rang Tua Che as soon as I finished my food.

I had only an hour break, and went for my third lecture which is 2 hours long. Well, the lecturer is a nice guy, he cares about his students and explained everything clearly to us, although that's not my favourite subject. But I could really say that he has done his best to help us. Thanks Ahmed! Today is still a perfect day, no rain, no cloud, clear sky. Yeh..... I love this weather and the temperature was about 15 degree celsius. Yes, it was perfect! I had a meeting with my group member after my classes ended at 2pm. Apparently, I was suposed to get back home after the meeting. However, Jia Ling and me wanted to buy something from Karawara. We walked there, and I have got lots of stuffs. I have got my Berry Bliss Yogurt!!!!!!!! It was not in offer, but I just can't resist to buy it. Luckily I'm working, don't feel so guilty for buying those nice food. Hehe^^

I got back home with 2 big bags and a laptop back pack by bus. Tired. I saw Wan Zhi was talking to one of our neighbors and talked to him for awhile. He's a bus driver who owns a few school buses. After that, both of us went into the house and Wan Zhi planned to make sushi!! Weee~~~ I helped her with the wrapping of sushi and she has done a Mickey Mouse sushi for me. Thanks Wan Zhi! We had a great time including Sue who came back from work after 6pm. We were making lots of noise, screamed all the time and ye.. we had lots of fun!! Haha^^

Gosh... I have not finished my ES tut. I don't want!! There are 10 questions. Oh yea.... and I'm gonna have an interview at 3.30pm tomorrow at Carillion City. Hmm..... and gonne work tomorrow night. Alright, I got to go now. Have not taken my shower yet. Smelly!!

Bye guys~

Tired Day I Had

2008-08-10T23:43:00.000-07:00

Arrhhhh...Just got back home. Really tired. Well, I'm supposed to work till 9pm. Unfortunately, there were many customers coming in and I worked till 10pm. Yea...I got the money today!! It's 121.50 AUD!! Muahaha^^ The very first time in my life, getting pay for work. But a bit tired. Walked the whole day, served the whole day, and of course talked the whole day^^

I have received a call from Red Rooster while I was working and I told the lady that I will call her back after I finish working. Oh yea... And I rang her during my work hours as I was kinda free at that moment. Well, I could say that ridiculous stuff happens...... I rang the lady, and at the same time, the phone in my working place rang and a customer who wants to take away some food came in. And the only thing that I can do is just cut off her conversation. I'm sorry about that, Angeline. I called her again after I finish work at 3pm. Hmm.... no one answered my call. I'm worried, worried that I will be loosing a job. Anyway, a guy picked up my call! And he handed the call to Angeline and I was told to go for interview on Tuesday at3.30pm!! Weeeee~~~ I wish I could get that job.

I'm supposed to work at Good Ones, a chinese restaurant in Vic Park tomorrow night and I have just received a call from mum. She has actually agreed that I could work there till 10pm, apparently she mentioned that she didn't really like me to work till so late. Yeh.... I knew what she's thinking, she doesn't want me to be so tired, just to earn an Ipod touch or IPhone^^ and she's worried that I'll be in danger when I'm getting home from work.

Alright, I got to stop here and will continue some othe free time. Goodnight~

It's Friday

2008-08-08T23:15:00.000-07:00

I have got a casual job at a chinese restaurant which is located nearby my current house. It's just 2 minutes walking distance. Yeh....pretty near. Well, the job is not too bad, it's easy, take order and of course, serve the food to customers and clean the tables. It's easy, but the only thing that I'm not satisfied is that the pay is kinda low. Well, yea, I save my transport fare and time for travelling here to there. But still, the pay is low.

I was wokring for 3 hours only, not really tiring, but I was trying to figure out the ways of solving the EWB project which is assigned to me and I felt a bit tired. But anyway, Kary, my collegue is a nice person. She taught me everything and is being friendly. Well, nothing special happened yesterday. Oh yea.... Stella gave me some Char Koay Teow with prawns!!! I could say that it's not as good as any stall in Penang. What else can I say, I'm in Perth. Haha^^

I just had one third of the food and left it overnight so that I could take that to uni as my lunch. Mm.... yea, and today is Friday!!!

As usual, I woke up early in the morning at 7.30am. Took some time to choose what to wear to uni and make a cup of hot sesame drink. Sue is going to work at 9am and she is leaving at 8.30am. She sent me to uni this morning. Yes!! I saved 77cents and I get to save my energy by carrying my laptop all the way to uni^^ I reached uni at 8.40am and I had Maths lecture at 9am. After the lecture, I had 3 hours break which is really a long period of time. I played RA2 at EFY and was waiting for Conrad, my team leader to finish his Electrical System Lab as we're going to look for the Chemical Engineering lecturers. Well, we went to their rooms. Most of them were not around as it was about 12pm. I think they were having their lunch break. 1pm - my Maths tutorial. I could say that it was the longest Maths tut I have ever attended!!!! What is Samy talking about? I have no idea. He talked about history, and even 17wives!! Haha^^ I have no idea why is he talking about those stuffs.

I finished my classes at 5pm and took 99 bus to Hill View Terrace. I was walking to Curtin Main Bus Stop with Jia Ling and saw the bus stopped. I dashed there and luckily, I managed to grab that bus. Or else, I will need to wait for a couple of minutes more! I went down at Hill View and I thought of going to Vic Park to see if there are any available job vacancies. I went in a japanese restaurant and wrote down my contact details and my available hours. When I was about to grab a bus at the bus stop, I saw a notice pasted at the door of another chinese restaurant. I was thinking of trying my luck. I went in, and asked one of those people see if there are any vacancies. The first question that the man asked me was,"你会不会讲广东话？(it was in Cantonese)". Thank god!! I used to watch Hong Kong series. Haha^^ it's a great advantage of knowing a few languages, isn't it? I replied, "Yes, I know". The reaction of that guy was amazing, he said,"会讲广东话！请定你！" Haha^^ As simple as this, my gosh. Er wait, he is not the boss, he's the chef. He went in the kitchen and asked the boss who is a lady. She talked to me, and well, she asked me to write down my available times and I did. And then, I got the job! I'm gonna work on Monday and Friday, from 6pm to 10pm. Yea...it's late and kinda dangerous. I knew Mum is gonna be worried about me but I think that's fine.

On my way back home, I received a text message from Wan Zhi, who is one of my housemates. She baked cheese rice for me!!! Haha^^ Felt so happy, I was thinking of having avocado sandwiches when I get back home. And now, someone cooked for me. Nice~~

Alright, I'm gonna stop here. I'm sleepy now and I need to get up early tomorrow to clean the house and wash my clothes. Goodnight guys~

City Day

2008-08-06T21:53:00.000-07:00

As usual, I woke up at 6 something in the morning as I am supposed to meet Izah and Jia Ling at uni to finish my online maths quiz. Hmm...... this morning was cold. It was 2 degree celsius. I had my 2hours lecture which is a killing subject. To be honest, I don't understand what she is talking about. Thank god....I have successfully gone through the 2hours. After finishing the lecture, I went to EFY to finish up my maths quiz.

I had Chiliz curry beef rice at Karawara with Jia Ling, Fanny and Izah supposingly. But Izah went off as her boyfriend is picking her up to the city. Me and Jia Ling went to the city after having our lunch. Haha^^ we were planning to lepak in the city. The first place we went to is Northbridge coz we wanna drink BUBBLE TEA!!! On our way back to the city, we met David, Hanson's friend who says that he is from Africa. Haha^^ Few months back, me and Jia Ling went out with Hanson and his friends. We played pool together, and David doesn't believe that me and Jia Ling know how to play. He challenged us and we WON!!! So, loser pays!!! Muahaha^^

We met him and both of us were like... hmmm..this person looks familiar. We stopped, and talked a bit. Well, nothing much. On my way back to city, we saw Hanson. Haha^^ he wore a white singlet. Woahhh...hey, it's winter!! And then, we were planning to do some shoppings in the city. Jia Ling wanted to buy some clothes. But ended up, her hands were empty. We met Sean Ee at Temp. Talked o her a bit. And I have got my rose candles for $1 at reject shop^^

I went to the restaurant outside my house there for interview. Well, I'm gonna start working tomorrow at 6pm to 9m. The pay is not high, but at least I do something rather than staying at home, wasting my time. Mmm......I have received the parcel from Mum. A lot of stuffs...... goshh... need to pack again.

Alright, I gonna stop here. Bye guys~

Great Weather

2008-08-05T17:10:00.000-07:00

Weeeeee~~~ We have got a great great weather!! This morning was cold, it was 1.8 degree celsius but the Sun came out as well!! I have actually set my alarm yesterday night in order to wake me up in this morning at 8.45am as I'm having my tutorial at 10am. Well, I thought I could have slept for a longer time, unfortunately, I woke up at 7am (goshh..... the noise made by my 2 housemates). I was kinda angry, they talked loudly outside of my room as they were having their breakfast. However, I opened the my door, "stared" at them and closed my door up. They just went quiet immediately. Haha^^ it's effective!! I went back to bed, and continued my beauty sleep~

And woke up at 7 something, almost 8am. Nothing much, drank some chocolate drinks and ate a hard boiled egg. I'm gonna have my Electrical System tutorial. Gosh.. hate this subject so much. But....still need to do this unit =( Well, once again, I would say that the weather for today is really awesome. I finished my tutorial at 12pm and went for lunch with Jia Ling. We had hot dog which we got it from the library cafeteria and went to sit under the trees at Henderson Court. Haha^^ that was was we used to do in the beginning of first sem!! We enjoyed our food, talk nonsense(eg. dirty stuffs which are our hot topics) since we're not staying together.

I finished my class at 3pm. Me and Jia Ling were lepak-ing at uni. Well, she was supposed to wait for Denis and I just didn't feel like going back home. And so, we went to the computing building and printed our notes for FREE!! Haha^^ saved up my A4 papers. After that, I took the 99Bus which dropped me at Hill View Terrace and I walked back home. It took me 15 minutes walk. In my way home, I saw lots of colourful flowers which I wanted to have them seriously. But they were all planted at people's garden. And I saw yellow roses!!!! Damn.... they are all over the whole garden.

Alright, I'm gonna stop here. Gonna watch my Hong Kong series - Speech of Silence and take my bath and have my dinner. Bye ~

EFDP!!!!!!!!

2008-08-03T20:53:00.000-07:00

I have finished my first week lessons for the second semester. Well, the feeling of getting back to uni is good. At least I have things to do, unlike during my holidays, I felt so free that I just wanna go back to uni. Haha^ I'm sure that most of you will be thinking of telling me something, that is "You will not have this feeling after you start to work". Yea, I think most probably. I'm assigned with a task which is given by the EFDP(Engineering Foundation : Design and Process) unit. It's quite challenging that I'm working in a group, and we are gonna design a product in order to improve the lifestyle in Cambodia.

Our group leader is Conrad who is the only guy in our team. Jia Ling, Fanny and Izah are the rest of my teammates. I am assigned to do some researches for the improvements of the cooking system(coz I love to cook^^). Anyway, I have got some results for it, and I hope it works!! Hopefuly I could do the experiment if I'm able to get the materials from uni. Hehe^^

Well, I'm tired now. Will update my blog later. Gonna take a nap right now. Bye guys~

Mum's Back Home

2008-07-31T01:29:00.000-07:00

I have just sent Mum to the airport and she is going to depart at 1.05am, and will be transiting in Singapore. Well, I really miss her. I realized this when I got back to my house. For the last 3 days, she stayed at home and waited for me to come back from uni. I’m pretty sure that she doesn’t like to stay at home and what she did for these 3 days was watch the Hong Kong series^^ I knew it’s a waste of time. However, I feel so warm and sweet when I knew there is someone who is waiting for me to get back home after finishing my full day lectures and tutorials.

Mum has helped me a lot in tidying my new rented room. Well, it’s not really big, but at least, I have a better environment for study. It’s much quieter compared to Erica. Mum has been putting so much effort and attention on me although I used to say that she loves to work and always leave me at home. But I knew she cares about me so much. If you know her, I’m sure you will say that too.

Mum has taken her 13 days holiday and according to Sean Che, her table is fully loaded with tones of paper work. I miss everyone in Penang, including Papa, Mama, Koko, Che Che, my neighbor(uncle and aunty), my ex best friend(I don’t know if she’s still my best friend or I’m still her best friend).

I just don’t understand her. It hurts…. Seriously. She likes to do what she likes and she doesn’t care if her words are hurting me. Haha^^ That was so ridiculous. A few weeks back, I have received a text message early in the morning from her. And the first sentence that I have read was “Are you treating me as your best friend?” And my first thought was “What the hell, are you serious? How can you ask me such question? This is crazy!!” *Sigh* I have no idea. I’m so tired about this. She is my best best friend in my life and now, she said this to me!! Goshh….. we knew each other since we were in Standard 1. It’s really amazing for me to have such a good friend who I used to talk to. But people change. Nah…I shouldn’t say this. I should say that I’m the one who still doesn’t change.

The only thing that I can say is LIFE IS SUCH. Haha^^ sounds old. But it’s true. We can’t expect people to change based on our likes. We are the one who need to change to suite people and the society. I was talking to one of my housemates, Wan Zhi. According to her, there is a group or association, I’m not too sure, a total of 25 persons have set up this group and their purpose is to educate the high school students to be alert about our world. I think it’s an interesting project and what they need right now is voluntary workers. I’m actually interested in this kind of activity. It benefits me in different aspects. Hmmm….but I’m worried that I can’t make it. My timetable for this semester is more terrible than the previous one. I just need to spend most of my time in uni >.<

2nd Day of Class

2008-07-28T17:33:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!! It has been a long time that I did not blog. Haha=P Well, Mum is in Perth with me, she has spent about 13 days with me in Perth. And I don't get to blog at home. It's raining all the time here. Rain, Rain, Please go away. It's hard for me to travel from one place to the other one. Today is my second day of class. Hmmm.....And yesterday was my first day of class, of course. Haha^^ The feeling of getting back to Uni, starting a new semester is really great although this semester will be more terrible than the previous one.

I am taking 4units for this sem and 2 of them are the subjects that I am really weak in. Another subject which is EFDP is sort of boring, it's all about reports. This suject trains all of the studdent engineers to be familiar to the reports that we're going to write when we are working. Well, it's a great training, but it has weekly assignments and reflective writtings. Goshh........ another subject will be MATHS!!!!!! And the most exciting thing is that SAMY will be my lecturer(he's the funniest lecturer ever^^).

Moved to my new house^^

2008-07-21T00:16:00.000-07:00

Haih…… Haih….. I have no idea that what can I do except for sighing. Well, I have just moved into my new house which is located at Parmeston Street. It’s a nice place which is well decorated and maintained by the owner. Honestly, I like the environment of this current place. Grapes, oranges, lemons and especially chili padi(haha^^ my top priority) can be found in the garden. An excellent view from my room windows is actually my main reason of moving into this house as it looks more like a home than a rented house. It seemed to be a comfortable place for me to study and to stay at. But surprisingly, I’m sighing but not cheering. Alright, it’s not really a big matter. This is the matter of how do I handle my inner journey. I wouldn’t want to elaborate about this matter. I will just take it as a challenge.

Things are not as easy as what we have expected. I knew that I am a sensitive person. Well, it might be a good thing, but it might not be. When someone says something, I think that he or she might have had this thought before. I found it true for most of the people. Of course, I can’t conclude that everyone acts this way. Today, I have actually acted calmly. I would say that this is the day that I have acted most calmly in my life, seriously. Most of the things seemed to be happening ridiculously within these few days(yes…I sound sarcastic, and I do!!).

A new inner journey, I have just undergone. Life, people, behaviors, actions, attitudes, mindset, environments, pressures(eg. Peer pressure), and also self consciousness are all connected tightly. If any of these changes slightly, our life will be affected too, either it’s a huge or a minor change. Hmmmm…… a good day(as in the weather), a worse day(as in I have cried today). It has been a long time that I don’t cry since I have broken up with my ex boyfriend. Well, it was hard for me to get through it. And now, interpersonal skills are important to me. The process of building up my own character is actually an important lesson for me to learn as people take their whole life time to find out what’s life. Why do they want to spend time on this?

Alright, I will elaborate this part some other time. And it’s time to bed!! Nitez^^

Happy Birthday to Sen Che

2008-07-16T21:54:00.001-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEN CHE!!! Today is Sen Che's birthday. Well, We didn't have any special celebration but we will be having our dinner tonight at Salsas which is the restaurant that I like. It is raining heavily outside. I went to renew my I/C in the morning and came back home as the maid is coming at 1.30pm I guess. I feel like staying at home these few days. I will be leaving to Australia tomorrow night. I remembered the day I left for Perth, if I'm not wrong, it was 9th of February, which is the third day of Chinese New Year. I had a mixed feeling, I was excited, and yet I am not willing to leave Mum. I know I will be missing her very much. When I was at the airport, many of my relatives and friends came for the farewell. Guys, THANKS for coming. I will always remember the moment I went in the international enterance. That day was the beginning of my other journeys in my life, which are my physical and inner journey.

Well, honestly, I felt that I have managed my time in Australia properly. However, I think I should spend more time in my studies. I was actually being playful in my first semester. As Mum said, I'm playful, I'm playful as in I don't like to stay at home, I like to look around the places, being an adventurous person. Haha^^ In the first semester, I have scored 1 Credit, 3 Distinction and 1 High Distinction. This result has freaked me out!!! I have never expected that I could score this result as I didn't study much. Seriously, I did not manage to finish my revision before I sat for the papers. I found out that I have changed mentally, I think this is caused by the environment that I am staying at. On the other hand, physically, I have changed a lot!! I have gained a few kilograms(it's caused by the Tim-Tams and Smith's)^^ It was a tremendous change when I was back in Penang. Everyone was shocked with my physical change.

Yesterday, I went to the coffee shop which is locatd outside of my house. When I was buying Rojak(Penang's local food), I saw an old man, I guess he is at the age of 70 to 75, he dropped his 50cents and didn't manage to find it. His daughter-in-law has asked him not to worry about the 50cents as she had another one in her pocket. This old man was not bothering her words and kept on looking for the 50cents. The first taught that came into my mind was, this old man might have gone through some hard time, and 50cents is still valuable. In old days, we can get a bowl of Hokkien Mee with 20cents according to Mum. Well, I bent down and looked under the car, the 50cents was under the car. I picked up for the old man and he looked excited and thanked me. Haha^^ the feeling of making the others happy is awesome.

助人为快乐之本！！

Had Fun!!

2008-07-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

I wanted to blog yesterday but I didn't manage to do it. I went for dinner with Che che, Ko ko, and Camy. Che Che is supposed to pick me up from my house at 6.30pm. But she was early. she came at 5.50pm. I was not prepared as I was watching movies. She brought me to her house and treated me dim sum. I told her that I did not take my lunch so that i could eat more for dinner. Haha^^ she thought it was true. Anyway, we were talking at the dining room and at the same time, Ko ko and Camy have reached home. Che che planned to bring us to the swiss restaurant which is located at the Armenian Street (if i'm not wrong). It was closed on Mondays and Che Che stopped the car at the road side. We were thinking of where to eat and what to eat. Ko ko was making some fun that he said, "Lets have the hokkien mee which its stall is located at the T-junction of this road." Haha^^ During our journey, as usual, me and Camy who are the loud-speaker have made lots of noise. And also with Ko ko and Che che, especially Ko ko, I can say that his Siao-ness keeps on increasing even he started to work last year. Haha^^

This is what brother and sisters for. All of us are facing and going through different challenges and obstacles outside. But when we are gathered, we are still 'WE'. I like this feeling very much. Since Ko ko started to work last year, I can actually feel that things change. I used to think that my family members don't concern about me. But this is not anyone's fault. Everyone is busy with their own life. They are also forced to work in order to survive int his competitive society.

Yesterday, Mum got her SQ air ticket and she will be going to Perth with me. I am quite looking forward and we have started to pack our stuffs yesterday night!! Sen che was helping me to fold my clothes. I used to call her "阿四" and she used to call me "细妈". Haha^^ I have realized something, that is the relationship between me and Sen Che and even Tua Che has improved since I left for Australia. In the beginning, I thought that our relationship will be getting worse as I am not in Malaysia. Surprisingly, we have been doing a great job!!!! I know Mum feels happy seeing all of us are working out perfectly.

Hi everyone

2008-07-13T00:59:00.000-07:00

Hey friends.... I have just created my first blog!! I have been thinking of creating blog since I went to Perth and I have been telling my friends that I will be setting up one. But I didn't make it. And now, I have just decided to blog. Things are happening but I am sure I couldn't remember all.

Well... I just came back from KL yesterday in the afternoon and Jia Ling picked me up from the airport. I am quite tired as I have been walking all the time in KL, doing some shoppings with my family. I was looking forward as I thought that i will be getting lots of clothes in KL. Unfortunately, I didn't buy anything except for an IKEA lamp^^

It was raining heavily in KL this afternoon when I was on my way to the KL airport. Sean Che and I were watching Forensic Heroes2 in the car and I was kind of dizzy when we reached the airport. We have waited for an hour plus and started to board. I saw Camy's Mum and sis in the plane. The world is small. We took the same flight on Friday night and that's the day when I saw Camy and Koko at the airport.
