Another month to go........

I just finished the last lecture for this semester. No more tutorials to catch up with and no more lectures to attend. Yahoo!!! In less than a month time, I will be home sweet home once again. Not to forget, succumb myself to all the food until my stomach bloats up. Haha..... well, someone promised me before I came to Australia to bring me go out and eat all the good food. Hint* Hint* Haha..... Cannot "lai mao" Fortunately, I am still saving the last sms you sent me.... Muahahaha which is about 8 months ago.... Well....I have a good memory when it comes to food. Hmmm...let me think what I crave for the most....

First, it will be the satay celup of course. somewhere near boon siew motor shop has a good one. Although it is located near the street, it somehow tastes better. Omg...maybe I love tasting all the dust and carbon monoxide in my food! Who cares la.... Janji boleh makan. Everyone is dying also what. The matter is the rate we are dying only. So, dun worry too much. Eat die, dun eat also die....

Next, we have the dim sum in jalan gajah berang. Sangat "huai nian" the chee cheong fun and loh mai kai.... Drooling... Have to wake up super early to get the dim sum but no worries..Australia and Malaysia have 3 hours time difference. Normally, I woke up at 830am here. THat means I will be awake 530am Malaysian time. Good. ANyone wanna join me?

Okay....time for reality check.... Don't talk about one month's time schedule... Haha....food schedule that is awaiting me..... In two weeks time will be my final exams. I feel ill-prepared lar... Just started revising yesterday.... Been addicted to the anime for so long. I begin to calculate the time spent watching which amount to 300 episode x 20 min each= 6000 mins/ 100 hours. Oh no.... And trust me, this is an understatement. I begin to wonder, if I use the time to revise earlier hor...my results will be superb man... Too late. I am not the one who regrets over the past because I love every minute of it. Bluekkkkkk.... Yeah... At least I feel less guilty by completing the homework and assignments la. I will strive harder next year ok? Promise to do so....

Falling leaves

It is now spring in Sydney. Some trees can be seen blooming with flowers. In fact, I was very excited to see that my university has trees with purple flowers planted, similar to the ones grown in University of Queensland. When I saw those flowers, somehow I felt calmer. This is the wonder of nature. Seeing something sprouting from the earth is actually better off seeing architecture built by human no matter how great the building might be.

As I saw the flowers bloom,I wondered what happened to those falling leaves. Hmm... To put in metaphorically, the falling leaves can represent many occasions in our lives be it: leaving the departed one, loss of a friend or even forgetting the pain that one endured in the journey so called life. Fortunately, with the falling leaves season, it will be another day where flowers will bloom again. That is for certain. This is how nature will work irregardless of how you wish spring will never end. With spring, it comes fresh hope, new beginning and new discovery. It is not too much to say that spring is the season most favoured by everyone.

I hope that everyone enjoys the spring season. The beautiful flowers, melodious birds and the greenery grass. All will be laid upon your eyes. Recently, two of my friends have to cope with departing with the ones they love. I understand how it feels to be like to be leaving someone you don't want too. With it, the memories will flow pieces to pieces as if they just occurred yesterday.

Fortunately for me, I choose to look at the bright side of life. When my grandpa passed away 2 years back, I did not cry. Part of me felt really guilty for not doing so since I am always his favourite grandchild. I am the only one among my siblings who had the privilege to be chauffeured to school using his old bicycle. The bicycle is really big and tall. I still remembered vividly that he will always remind me to open my legs far and wide to avoid my legs getting stuck in the rims. Such memory....

Another event which I never forget. I am the youngest in my family. And due to the short distance between my house and my grandparents' which is about 5 minute using bicycle, my grandpa will come to my house every morning to wake me up. It was back in standard one. I will somehow roll on the bed longer than everyone else despite of my mother's anger. My grandpa will kindly came to my bed and shook me. But being young, the slumber seems too hard to resist but I lost it to one thing. BRIBERY! Haha.... Yeah... My grandpa will slip a one ringgit note into my hand just to wake me up... My sister and brother are so jealous of me and labeled me : money faced. So, I think I am brought up in a condition where corruption works after all. Wakaka...

Well, after losing my grandpa, I took sometime to get used to it too. Somehow I cannot believe that now I no longer have 2 grandpas and 2 grandmas. I felt a little incomplete by the lack of one. I might be greedy but this is how I feel. But if I were given another chance to choose my life, I will still choose the same no matter what. Yes, most of the times the problems at home are always endless, but with the showers of love, care and attention that I garnered makes my life complete. At times, I still felt my grandpa's presence as my mum always told me. Dun worry, if he cares for you, he will always be there to watch over you no matter where he is. And I am still clinging strongly to believe every word of it.



There you go. To both of my friends: I have nothing to say or any action to do but I have one wonderful story to share. Hope that this story makes you stronger as it has made me today. WIsh you all the best and take good care of yourselves. I may not be able to do anything but I promise I will be a good listener.

Guilty

It is practically 5.15am in the morning. I was suddenly awaken. I don't know why but I think must be the feeling of being guilty. My friend's grandpa passed away yesterday. I have no idea that it happened. I met him twice yesterday and I did not know anything although I felt something was wrong.

A lot of things is running through my head. I felt really sorry for him. I din know what to say and do. And the fact that I am almost the last among the last to know about it really crashes me down further. Am I the worst friend? Maybe...... That's why I am blogging now. Sorry, my friend. I have nothing to say but just tonnes of apologies to do. Rest in peace, uncle. Although I may not know you, I know there is one person who truly love you.

Resolution

It is almost coming to the end of the 2009 second semester. My final paper which falls on 14th November signifies that I am closer in reaching back home. So, it is good time to flashback what have I learnt for the entire year I am here.

1) I have been less industrious compared to the times I was in South Australian Matriculation. But, I so still manage to complete my homework, assignments and attend my classes almost all the time. Thus, I feel that my obligation as a student has been fulfilled. What about my satisfaction about the view as a student? Generally, I find that the education system here is appropriate and students do enjoy to their fullest when it is time to play. However, when it comes to time to learn, they fall back a little of my expectation. To summarize the whole thing, I have been a little inclined to follow suit too. AIyar...the word for it is lazy lor.

2) Exercise. This word seems to leave me far away from my daily routine. I jogged seldom here. One reason: the weather is quite cold. This makes the comforter seems more enticing. On the bright side of thing: I have not gained weight. Hehe... Now, I intend to go back Malaysia to exercise. I should find a jogging partner to.... * hint hint* to Mr Rong Zhen. Haha... He is now having a three-months holidays so, should be quite free to accompany. Let's jog the whole kampung lapan! Not a bad idea I think....

3) Sociable wise....ermmm...Let's say I am little shy when I am adjusting towards the surrounding. I do attend the Malaysian Society activities frequently to fully submerge myself in the Malaysian food provided. Damn cheapo right me? WHo cares la...Only students ma....People will understand....

There you go, my next year resolutions are to be a better student, a healthier individual and a more friendly person.

Beyond

I must be pretty extreme in blogging. It is either I will leave this blog for a very long time unattended or I will keep updating until I feel like update it right after the next post. Well, today I am in the mood to blog about one of my all-time favourite canto pop group. I was not a very big fan actually but my twin uncles love them. So, I grew up listening to these songs running through my head again and again until I fell in love with it.

It is funny to think that not many of my friends ever heard of them. To be exact, I only found 2 friends who have heard about this group. Seriously, they are awesome. Sadly, this group has disbanded because one of the members died in an accident during a concert performance ages ago. If I remember correctly, the guy fell from the stage and passed away. So sad right? They are so good that I think their legacy continues until now. It will not be too much for me to say that their music is really inspiring. For those who understand canto, they will know what I mean.
In their lyrics, they sometimes inculcate moral values in them. Furthermore, their group band name is also very catchy "Beyond" which gives me the feeling that one's dream has no limitation as it goes beyond your imagination. Haha.... Syiok sendiri I guess... Better than nothing to syiok about hor? That will be so kelian.
Oppsss... This blog has used considerable time of mine to do homework.
Blogger on a cheery mood....Phewittt!!! go Beyond!!!!!!!!!!

Back from holidays

I have been away for one whole week. Last week was my spring break holidays. I have decided to join my friends,studying in melbourne to go for a vacation in Gold Coast and Brisbane. Gold Coast is a place where it is famous for its theme parks while Brisbane is infamous for its HOT weather. Really hot lor, my gosh. My skin is practically zhao da de. While my skin is getting darker, at the same time, I really have a great time. One word for this trip: awesome. I went to Seaworld, Movieworld and Wet n Wild theme park in Gold Coast. I really enjoyed to my fullest for this few days. Tiring yet exciting at the same time.
One more thing: the food in Brisbane is mouth watering. The dim sum is so heaven (credits to Maggie Law for using this word). And the buffet consisted of korean bbq and sushi also are fantastic. This holidays is all about eat eat and play play. To combine them together is eat,play,eat play. I think my weight is gaining too!!! No!!!! but who cares. It is holidays anyway.
During this holidays, I gained some perspectives too. Human can be so scary. I listen to stories and I see them myself. Haihhh.... Someone said this is how life gets interesting. True in a way but at the same time, this type of people really fake. I have no words to say anymore. I believe everyone has his/her own self interest to serve. But as you do so, it will not kill you to be good to others right? That's the way I think my life should be. Serving oneself but remember to be kind and generous to others as well. It will not hurt you but it does make you feel good.
