Melbourne Timeline

Counting down..5 more days..

I've left Melbie for 3 times (Twice last year, once this year)
This is actually the 1st time I feel upset about leaving Melbie.
Probably because I'm leaving for good.

2 years ago, I was excited about coming to Melbie.
Even though I had to put in effort to adapt to the whole new environment, everything seemed pretty interesting at first with awesome accompany of friends.
Few months later, with the built up of pressure in academic area as well as relationship matters, I did not enjoy as much gradually.
A year later, my initial plan of staying in Aus after graduation slowly being affected by several factors, n the first impulsive reason was my IELTS results failed to meet the requirement.
Half a year ago, I've decided that I would leave Melbie after my graduation.
Few months ago, I was seriously eager to return to Msia.
About month ago, things that I used to be very certain of became uncertain.
Now, I'm 5 days away from leaving this piece of land that I thought I would not miss.


P/S: Mr hard drive, please do not die. You contain all my beloved memories.
Dear Santa, I did not ask for anything this Xmas. I hope it's not too late to ask for a wish now. I just wish that all the data could be recovered =((

Not ready

After 4 years of torment, THE day that we have been working hard for is coming tomorrow.
It was like just yesterday that we're working extremely hard for our final year design project, research project, assignment, burning midnight oil...etc
Couldn't believe that I'm gonna graduate as a Chemical Engineering student with honours.
I guess I'm really a lucky girl on earth to be able to graduate with 1st class honours.(Don't get me wrong, I'm not boasting here k)

Thanks for all the help throughout the years.
There are too many who have offered me help. It will be hard to list out all the names.
I definitely wont be able to do it alone.
Thank you to you know who you are!!! I sincerely mean it!!

I'll be leaving Melb in 10 days time.
I thought I wont be missing Melb a month ago.
N I'm terribly wrong about it.
I...don't feel like leaving so soon......=(

I'm not ready to attend my once in a lifetime convocation;
not ready to leave Melbourne yet;
not ready to be an unemployed.

The Last and The Final

Almost everyone in Monash has finished their finals..
like..95% or more?

Sigh.
Feeling so stressed now but don't feel like talking to anyone.
Don't feel prepared. )=
*Worried*

*Take a couple of deep deep breathe*
Back to nano notes.

Good luck to everyone who are still having exams.
N Wish me, myself and I all the best.

Home n freedom soon!

I smell freedom is coming near...
Getting excited even though I'm not done studying =S
No idea if this freedom will be temporary or could at least last for few months.
(That's if I do not need to take that supplementary paper)

There are SO MUCH to do after my last paper on Tuesday.
-Design presentation
-Packing
-New Zealand trip with coursemates
-Another packing
-Sydney trip with parents
-Unpack and probably repack
-Touring parents around in Melbourne
-Convocation (Hopefully there is no subject to changes)
-Settle everything before I leave Melbourne FOR GOOD
-Savour the last moments in Melbourne
-Final Final packing (full stop)

And...... Tada! Home is the place I would be ((=
As you can see, my schedule gonna be super duper pack.
So dont be surprise to see me MIA for awhile.
Hopefully everything will go as planned!!
~Back to study~

Before that, I just wanna shout~
I MISS HOME!! Can't wait to go home, the best place on earth~


L-O-V-E

@ the airport..
Couldn't believe this has been 22 months ago...Glad that we'll get reunited very soon ^^

Window Live Messenger 2011

Just installed Windows Live Essential 2011.
I installed once before when it newly launched, but don't know why I didn't like it then I reinstalled the older version.

Yesterday out of boredom, gave the 2011 version a try again since I heard so many good comments about it.
In the end took me quite awhile to fix my messenger plus (apparently it is still not very compatible with WLM 2011)..time was spent discovering the new features that WLM 2011 has when I supposed to study =X

So far, I'm still liking the new interface.
Most of the new default emoticons are cute, the appear offline feature just fits me nicely, the sound alert for different user is cool too.
The only thing that I found dislike is the name displayed.
I can no longer add symbols in my display name.

Say byebye to ｡◕‿-｡DØlph!N｡-‿◕｡

-20%

Never ever been this worse :(
My second last paper turned out to be a disaster.
I couldn't do the entire 20% question, not to mention there are a lot more in doubts. I need at least 35 out of 70 to pass this exam.
So I'm only left with 15 which I might lose all of it.

Sigh.
I admit I didn't study hard this time. Not well prepared but never thought it will be that bad.
The questions came out were LEAST expected.

Sigh. The only thing to comfort myself is..most people are on the same boat..
It is either we pray for a scale-up or taking supplementary paper together.

Please. I only pray for a pass this time.
Don't even dare to think of HD. No more H1.
This semester is so miserable.

The what if I cannot graduate thought is stuck on my mind now.
Sigh. I dont wanna fail any paper. Not on my last semester.

One more paper to go.....

Dear God, please grant me the strength to continue the journey.

復刻回憶

Really love this song~
真的很喜欢这首歌 百听不厌

I just dont know why feel refreshing each time listening to this.
The start of the lyrics '你還好嗎　好久不見'
Though it's simple but 很有feel~


你还好吗 好久不见
又来这里 这个老店
後来的你 喜欢了谁
我们 聊聊天
现在的你 一样美丽
至於爱情 是个回忆
她不爱我 他离开你
爱会来 就会去

在不同的城市努力
偶尔也会想想你
这样的我 那样的你
要很久才相聚

我们都没说那遥远的曾经
我们也没提故事的原因
青春的复刻回忆像一片云
没法子抓在手里
我们的眼泪在复习着过去
我们的微笑是彼此的氧气
复刻的回忆是封挂号信
多远都可以找到你

窗外的树 爱哭的风
烦恼的我 聪明的你
爱是什麽 什麽人懂
所以 别难过
心还痛吗 请忘了吧
所谓幸福 是个童话
後来的我 一切随意
所以 没关系

午後的闷热的窗外的一场大雨
让我们看见了以前的自己
把时光倒转回那一季
那年的梦 他乡的你

我是幸福の、持續微笑:)

It has been a week since I submitted my design project final report.
Life has been pretty easy-going.
There is vast difference between before and after design submission.
No more force/area = pressure.
I've total control of what I want to do, when I want to sleep, where I want to be (hmmm..within Melbourne only..boo~)
I'm still enjoying this care-free privilege..n now I really think that late papers are actually a blessing ;)

Even though there are things that bother me..
Since I could not change them anymore..just pray that everything will be alright..n it won't be as bad as what I've in mind.

Nevertheless, I think I will really miss all the studies moment.
Even like now, apart from planning the holiday trips..I can sense that I started to feel lost as to what/where/how my future is going to be.

Gonna keep reminding myself that 我是幸福の、持續微笑:)
N same goes to you, who is reading this post!

一、一大早被闹钟吵醒
说明还活着


二、不得不从被窝里爬起来上班
说明没有失业


三、收到一些短信或吃饭聚聚
说明还有朋友想我


四、听别人的话有时刺耳
说明还有人注意你



五、衣服越来越紧
说明吃得还算营养


六、总想出国去看看
说明生活还有追求


七、很想休息但没批准
说明还有一定位置离不开你


八、看了这个文字还能发出会心的微笑
说明你是快乐幸福的

Design Dateline

U might have heard of my design project..
U might have known that I'm under a lot of stress..

Sad to say that...
I still could not see the end of it despite the dateline is just ONE WEEK away.

Pray hard that I could manage to finish everything on time.
I've no idea how am I going to do that.
I'm very very far behind. I'm so dead X.X
{Ms Procrastination Queen, have you realised what 'good' seed you have sow?}

Pray for some sort of a miracle then.

Reborn

-Ten Ten Ten-
Such a special date.
Perfect combination of day month year - Perfect 10.

A special day to be remembered. Now and always
*Rejoice*

Week 11

While we were having Design group meeting just now, the team members have agreed upon dateline every 2 days for each chapter.
Because we are only FIFTEEN DAYS away from the final submission date!!!
It's rather hard to believe that 3 more weeks and it's gonna be the end of the semester.

Really wish that I could cover the current stressful-ness by looking forward to the wonderful trips after the design project/finals.
I tried. But it didn't really work YET.

Spring is here...
Sunny weather, clear blue sky, flowers blossoming everywhere...even outside my house.
But that doesn't lighten up the mood of all the final year students.


Beautiful little purple flowers at a corner of Uni

Daylight Saving

Been reminded during Lifegroup last night and again by the email sent out by Jason..
That Daylight saving commences on 3rd Oct (sunday) at 2am..which is tonight!!
We'll be losing an hour of sleep, of dream, of whatever activities that we're up to..
*Sigh* It's gonna be 3 hrs time difference from Msia, again..

Peeps in Aussie land~ Please remember to adjust your time forward by an hour before sleeping tonight!!

2nd Tulip farm visit.
Probably wont be uploading the photos in my cam anytime soon.
Too much work to do, no time to edit.
But worry not, my facebook wall is flooded with tulips photos that have been uploaded by other DSLRs.

Work Overloaded

I've so many things that need to be done before the sem break ends.
Particle test, Particle Lab, Design Chap 4,5,6,8,9,10. OMGGGGGGG~
Following by Nano test, Nano Lab after next week.
Even I'm given 48 hrs a day without sleep, I won't be able to finish all..
I'm so gonna be dead =((

Why time flies so quickly??
*Cries*

iPod touch..should I?

My bad shopping habit is torturing me.

Havent been doing any shopping for a few months.

I miss shopping @@

All these while, what I've shopped for is only food ingredients and...more food more ingredients, which result in the fatness all over me *Scream*

The shopping that I can resort to over here is the joy for shopping for gadgets, which are so much more costly than clothings.

There are few things on my list ... again ...

I remember I mention I have a wishing list last year...

N now, the same thing is happening again =S

I guess even if this list is fulfilled..I'll somehow come up with another one in the future.

So tempted to get the brand new ipod touch..

I used to think that I would not get poisoned with Apple products.

But since sometimes ago, I've been hoping to get a MacBook Pro and now iTouch..

$$$ can u just fall from the sky please...

And there is a website selling it at AUD200 if you pay with PayPal (RRP price: AUD289)

*Dilemma* 1 more day and the promotion will be gone..

Sigh..but i could not find a good excuse for me to spend money right now since I've not been an obedient gal this semester =(

P/S: I'm not keen with iPhone 4, so don't bother recommending it to me.

Touchscreen phone is not my type, still.

100天

The countdown timer says:

"100days till saying hello to the awesome Penang island."

Wee~~Can't wait..

Till now.. the feeling of 'I'll be missing Melbourne" still havent come across my mind.

I guess there are much more things that I appreciate are back at home.

For now, the things that I'd miss most would be Lifegroup, the friendliness of people over here, no discrimination between cultures n the non-sweaty weather.

Done with P&ID (piping and instrumentation diagram) submission.

Not sure with how did I do. To compare with other peers, definitely it's not gonna be good enough.

With the complicated reboiler that I've gotten becoz of my group mate's kindsness in heat integration, all I can do now is just pray and hope for the best.

1-week Mid Sem Break is here. It's not for us to relax nor catch up with our studies.

It's all dedicated for the ultimate Final Year Design Project.

But still manage to steal some time out to enjoy.

Went to Royal Melbourne Show last Saturday. The weather was cloudy most of the time, but got sunny for awhile before the slight shower. Good enough though. (:

This is sort of like a photography trips with the presence of 5DSLR(s)

4 of them (Bing, LimChee, Jun and Gweedy) are really good.

I know I shouldnt give up despite the obstacle I met. Sigh~ I will try but I guess just give it a rest for the meantime.

I really miss taking photos with joy nowadays due to the pressure supplied to get a perfect picture.

Thinking of switching back to compact camera for awhile....

Never been on a Ferris Wheel..

Hope I will have the chance to hop on the ride and learn about the meaning behind 幸福摩天轮 (=

Sambal

Because of a video shown on Facebook, I'm indeed craving for sambal belacan now!!

N look at how the others response after watching the video.
Can't stop LOL-ing.
Basically everyone has picked out a different line from the video.
It's just funny of what goes into each n everyone's mind after watching the same video.



Nothing very fancy about the video.
Feel free to watch if u r too bored

Sambal!!!

锁。回忆

刚刚看了些照片

不知不觉

两年了

尝试不去回想过去

像是把回忆上了锁

因为你

不论大小事

眼泪

总是不听使唤地

一滴滴 脱眶而出

如今 我还是不明白

Detailed design

Another tick on the design assessment. Done with detailed design interview last Thurs.

Did not go well..Made quite a number of mistakes in the calculation n design.

Well, at least Dr. Andrew pointed out and I could correct those errors before the proper submission. He is good and kept me thinking throughout the interview, only I'm not a brilliant student to cope with his thinking. :S

Pretty much wasted last weekend. Not productive once again.

Every time I'd have a list that I wanted to complete for the weekend, this sem I failed doing it terribly. It's already week 9. Can I catch up with the pace still?

Gotten back the marks for Chap 1 of Design project.

It's awfully unsatisfactory.

By far, was told by Jun that our group received the lowest score.

Pretty demotivating..

But again, did I put in sufficient effort for the project? Did I try my best?

The answer is obviously N-O..NO~

Sigh~ Never really experience getting lowest score for a project.

It's a big fall for me.

It hurts.

化悲愤为动力!!!!

Few more weeks to go............

Jz a picture to lighten the blog atmosphere up a bit
Had a super early bday surprise for Tze-How last night..
It's a real POTluck dinner. LOL

Sara Lee

Hugging a tub of Raspberry Sara Lee is the best thing I could do now to cheer up my unhappiness.

It is written on the box -- Fruit Inspired Raspberry Ice Cream with real fruit pieces.

Hey~There is real fruit pieces in it, it's not so unhealthy after all.

Trying not to make myself feel not so sinful. =/

The best combo would be fries with ice cream.

But having to finish almost half a tub of ice cream is so unhealthily fat enough. *sniff sniff*

I shall just give up the even more sinful thought of having fries.

I've just booked my ticket back to Msia today.

Feeling undecided with the dates before booking,

Feeling regretful after booking. Somehow I feel like going home sooner.

Oh well, probably is just the design stress that is making me homesick :S

Hmm..I havent mentioned when am I flying home yea?

People! I'm coming back 5th of Jan 2011!!~ ^^

Beh Syok

不爽 不爽 不爽 不爽
啊啊啊~~~

怎么会有那么荒唐的事

My group mates DID NOT submit our submission A onto Blackboard.
N they NEVER tell.
What they've told me was they did not put the process flow diagram together with the report body.
tsk tsk tsk~
When I was so tired, I still did the conversion and submission of process flow diagram myself and u guys were laughing n talking around.

W-H-Y?!
Is it very hard to inform people properly??
I've asked around before leaving n u guys told me that the report was submitted.
What is the point of u guys having so much sleep? Cannot even do a simple submission properly correctly~ ISH!!!

Better not get any penalty from the academic staffs.
Lord, please show me some mercy.
Really really don't want to get more marks to be deducted with the poor design we have. :(

Submission A (ticked)

Design submission A is D-O-N-E!
It was really a uberly insane week!!
Apart from camping in the com labs till midnight for previous weeks, we even stayed over until 5/6am for a couple of day to work on the project.
The insane-est ever is to stay awake for >>30 hours in uni to rush on the submission.
Went uni at 9am yesterday, came home at 6pm today. Do the maths urself @@

But, the tougher is still yet to come, there would be higher mountain to be climbed, deeper ocean to be crossed.
Being a Chemical Engineering student is really not a trivial position.
It got me thinking by just looking upon those year 1 and year 2 juniors.
I was all lazy back then (and still do).
Took the subject without full understanding.
Each time get to sustain through the semester by luck.
Probably the shallow foundation is what making my final year so miserable.
There is really really too many things that I've zero knowledge about.
The spoon-fed method in Msia is indeed an ineffective education system.
*sigh*
追根究底 还是因为我懒惰

However, I'm really really glad to have all the good accompany around.
Felt so blessed with all the helping hands and caring actions during the tough period. =))

P/S: *cough cough cough* THE cough has been with me for more than a week.
Please, I beg you...leave me alone.

B A D

1st particle test was badly done a couple of hours ago.
*Sigh*
This semester I feel so distracted.
There is like so many things to handle..so many functions to be planned as well.
I was bad at time management. And I still am.
Another *sigh*

I wanna find myself back.
It is the last semester. I don't wanna leave any regrets behind.
Perhaps this fall is a sign for me to really buck-up and remove all distractions.

Was very down after the test. Couldn't really believe what I've done for that past 50 minutes. As if I know nothing and went in to sit the test.
Eww~ Felt so bad :(

Didn't know who to talk to.
As usual nobody would believe that I could not answer the paper.
I also gave up defending myself.
Thank you for your encouraging words.
It touched me most when I see this "You have a family here that cares for you."

Just a video to share. (Couldn't find this from youtube. Hence I couldn't embed this in my blog.)

Inspiration Animation
This video well described what I've mentioned in my blog sometimes ago regarding how I've changed from young to current. I no longer dream big, put action into words, take big action. To the present me, things have become impossible after I learn more about the world. But I hv lost sight of how to make things possible.

Creativity starts from a belief; Success comes from an action. Enjoy!

没那么简单

I believe most of u have heard about the song "没那么简单".

Honestly, my 1st impression of the song was...这首歌很老很土..like an oldies exists in this new era..what more the singer is 黄小琥..thus the old old feel is even stronger..

Anyway I couldn't disagree that the lyrics written are truly apt, revealing the truth in life. There is a saying "too good to be real"; but this is too real to be good. It contains a layer of reality that people refuse to be told.
Although this song is more like for people entering age 30s and above,
but funny thing is...i still find it true and applicable.


没那么简单
就能找到 聊得来的伴
尤其是在 看过了那么多的背叛
总是不安 只好强悍
谁谋杀了我的浪漫

没那么简单
就能去爱 别的全不看
变得实际 也许好也许坏各一半
不爱孤单 一久也习惯
不用担心谁 也不用被谁管

感觉快乐就忙东忙西
感觉累了就放空自己
别人说的话 随便听一听
自己作决定
不想拥有太多情绪
一杯红酒配电影
在周末晚上 关上了手机
舒服窝在沙发里

相爱没有那么容易
每个人有他的脾气
过了爱作梦的年纪
轰轰烈烈不如平静
幸福没有那么容易
才会特别让人着迷
什么都不懂的年纪
曾经最掏心
所以最开心 曾经

PFD Interview (Done)

Just done with the 1st interview session of design project: Process Flow Diagram (PFD)
Still got 2 more sessions to go for the later weeks.

Not sure if I should feel glad for getting a more lenient interviewer.
Anyhow, the marks will be scaled based on the average mark of the class, so the mark that I've gotten definitely is going to be lowered.
It's just 3.33333%..so...I shall just take it easy :S
The prayers work? Hahax.. Whether it is related or not, I shall be grateful about it. ;)


3 days continuously staying back in com lab until after midnight.
Is this seriously week 4? This seems to be like week 8/9.
I could not imagine the life by then. Definitely going to be much much worse than this. *Picturing myself camping 24 hrs, treating com lab as my home*
So so miserable...It seems like only us (Chemical Engineering 4th year students) need to suffer through this. What about the other engineering discipline?
*Hmm* Perhaps what we need is more hard effort, while the others just need to apply their intelligence.
That's always what I thought about myself as I'm not those smart brainy type.
Don't try to correct/argue with me. :P

H.A.T.E Design Project

I hate Monday and Thursday, seriously.

It's so stressful after design lectures.
They kept on feeding you with all the information that we ought to know for our design project, without a slight consideration of whether we can absorb or not.
The atmosphere is extremely intense, everyone is saturated with stress.

*SCREAMMMMMMMM*
Feel like killing myself before gotten killed by the design project.

Mystery

A note to myself:
Every action taken is a risk when u do not know what to expect.
It's the faith in believing that brings you the courage.
By risking, sometimes u gain a fortune or u lose it.
It really depends on each individual whether the risk is worthwhile.

The relief after unveiling a mystery is indescribable.
All I can say is thank you. (:

Congratulations, Vege!

My beloved Vege dear has just experienced her very own convocation last weekend.
Do you know? I really wish to be there and share the joy with you at such memorable moments of life.
Since I cannot make it to your convo, I shall send you my very best regards through this blog post kay? Hehe...Even more special than flowers delivery right?

First and foremost,
CONGRATULATIONS my dear!!!!
You have successfully been through the miserable uni life..LoL
It must be a mixed feeling wearing that square hat and graduation gown..
Among all the friends, you were the one that I least expect would turn to commerce stream after SPM. But I'm really proud of you ^^

All the best for your job hunting..Don't slack k..
Hope to see u end of the year at my convo..Hoho~ Please bring me good news

Miss you heaps n heaps *hugs*


P/S: Now you know the reason why I wanted this photo..hehe..apart from the reason I'm ur secret admirer :P

Through it all

You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You

I will sing to You, Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
Through it all

This song actually hits me quite a bit.
It feels good to be back in life group after weeks of absence.
Initially I thought I'll feel left out or lonely. I admit I'm such a dumb dumb for having those stupid thoughts. I just realise that life group has become like a family to me.



If you are reading this,
Just wanted to say...
I'm Sorry too
and
Thank You *sincerely*
and
I wish you all the best~

Design Project Team

1st week of final semester has just ended.
It's just the 1st week, but all the Chem Eng students have started to feel the stressful study environment.
No joke about it. Design project is the nightmare of every Chem Eng student. *serious*
Even the lecturer-in-charge is scaring us off by describing the difficulty of it.
Oh well, by looking at the hard times that the hardworking seniors have gone through, we have sort of expected it.

By the way, we don't get to choose our team mates.
We've been allocated into a group of 6 according to the Belbin test results given to us last semester. Miraculously, the Belbin test is able to give relatively accurate identification of the role of each individual among the group of people involved. For instance, the team roles identified are shaper, plant, monitor evaluator, co-ordinator, resource investigator, implementer, team worker and finisher. As you can see, there are more than 6 roles available, meaning each group will hv some missing strengths. Nevertheless, the main objectives for the design project are application of knowledge we've gained throughout our degree to design a LNG (liquefied natural gases) plant and how we work as a team given that the team members are not selected by ourselves.

For more info, please visit Belbin Team Roles

The Belbin results were out last semester, but we only gotten to know our team members last Monday - the 1st Design class this sem.
Before the announcement of the team, everyone is so so nervous. Hui and Sia who were on my left and right, had cold hands literally. However, the grouping thingy turned out to be not so bad, with everyone knows at least 1 or 2 ppl in each group. Guess what? Jun is in the same team as me. Yesh~ He is my partner for another 12 credit points unit AGAIN!! So sien la..cannot to get to know new people..Haha..N his reaction was epic the moment when he saw the list.."Yay, I'm gonna team with ym!! I'm so happy with this team...." Then smiling throughout the lecture =.=
Hmm..undoubtedly, it's good to have Jun, but not sure if we will work well with this team. Felt like we lack efficiency after several meet ups.
Aaa~ We'll see how it goes. Just pray that everything will work out well.

**Add-on: By the way, I'm assigned the role of a finisher/completer. So not fun..=.=

Just handed in the group project plan n met up with our group supervisor.
Other groups have been working on 1st chapter already..*sigh* Making me super stressful...
I can foresee my screwed up life in 2 week times.
Good luck to all of us.
Group 7..GO GO GO!!

满满

《满满》

太阳 也许会 想休息 放纵了乌云
会挡住你 回到我 怀里的北极星
但你不用着急 我会找到你
我绝不会让你 一个人孤单旅行

天空 难免会 飘起雨 淋湿你背影
为你努力 我坚定 挂上彩虹的心
彩绘所有担心 期待和你贴近 ( 你和我更贴近 )
不怕你的眼神 会落在哪座国境

有时不安 满满
因为爱情 满满
不用害怕会明白 这坦白的未来

失去更勇敢 酝酿最醇的爱
我知道我为谁 存在

有时感动 满满
因为爱你 满满
你懂得让我释怀 并肩一起看海

再多的失望 比不上这对白
我的生命因为你 满满

时间 会犹豫 会呼吸 会为我们停
会随心跳 倒转到 任何怀念场景
要一直相信你 要一直依赖你 ( 要一直抱着你 )
向全世界放映 关于我们的电影

有时不安 满满
因为爱情 满满
不用害怕会明白 这坦白的未来

失去更勇敢 酝酿最醇的爱
我知道我为谁 存在

有时感动 满满
因为爱你 满满
你懂得让我释怀 并肩一起看海

再多的失望 比不上这对白
我的生命因为你 满满

这首歌总让我有莫名的感动
很动听 很甜蜜
没想过有人会听了这首歌而想起我 *暗笑*
好想好想你 们

BitterSweet Winter Break

I've returned to the Kangaroo land once again.
Familiar quiet road, familiar cooling weather, familiar air scent, familiar bulky clothing --> hoodie n jacket...
No more traffic jam, no more sweating hands and feets, no more polluted environment (less in fact), no more shorts and short sleeves

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa......I am missing everything in Msia now..even the sunny weather that I used to hate..minus the large amount of mosquito bites that I've gotten and the slow inefficient way of the Malay workers.

I'm so not prepared to leave Msia yet.
鼻子一酸，泪又累积在眼眶了.
I really really really enjoyed this winter break to the fullest.
Even though it's jz merely 3 weeks, but the fun gathered is enormous.
The friendship gained, the food tasted, the family love...etc etc everything is unmeasurable with time n money.
That makes saying goodbye such a torment.
Whenever memories flashes back, the heart is submerged with indescribable feelings.
But I know the people that involved would definitely can feel what I felt ^^

I know I will need some adjustment time, to bring the study mood back.
It is still very difficult at the moment..
I am missing the accompany so much more that than I can ever expect myself to be.
Even though I've mentioned it, but still I wanna say this again, THANK YOU!!
Thanks for those who have made my last student holiday such an awesome one!~
It is truly worthwhile to fly all the way back to Msia despite of the unpleasant, bumpy flight with Air Asia..
Thank you thank you...you and you..Thanks * infinity~~

The most surprising n touching part took place at Terminal LCC airport... and made this short trip back home a wonderful teary ending.
Tried so hard to hold my tears but still failed in the end..
I hope I dont hv to be the one leaving again next time..

Present to you my cute cute loving boyfriend + xiao bai tu (havent given it a name..still thinking...)
Love the successful surprise from the 3 of u. Thanks a lot! U guys hv passed the actor/actress degree with 1st class honour :P


-People might leave, but sweet memories stay forever-

Phone call

I don't like to receive phone call in the morning.
I don't like it when the phone call wakes me up.
I don't like it most when it brings bad news.
Like now. :(

I'm so not ready for other alternatives.
There are sadness in me that I don't know why.
All I know is I want to stay longer.....

Leaving soon...

Winter break has almost come to an end.
Haven't been blogging ever since end of exam period.
As most of you might have known, I'm back in Malaysia for a short 3-week.
It's really really short.
How I wish time can move slower or I can just stay at this time frame forever...

On the brighter side, I've fully utilized the time I've back home.
Almost get everything I have on the list a tick.
Although there are still some that I didn't have time for..but is good enough.
I should really really feel contented with the love, care, laughter n time given by the people around me.

Arggghhhh~
Q: Why I need to leave again...
A: 分开是为了走更长远的路. =(

Sigh~ I guess the answer is obvious. That's the path that I've decided on and I've to complete the race by myself.
Sometimes I do wonder what would happen if I choose to do 1-year exchange study for my engineering degree. Better or worse decision, that I dont know. But my life story would definitely be a different one.

5 more days till I say goodbye.
It's hard to say goodbye.
But without goodbye, there would not be any hello~

Good night people~
Shall end my emo night here.
=Signing out=

Mistake

席慕容的诗

在对的时间里，遇到对的人，是一种幸福。
在对的时间里，遇到错的人，是一种悲伤
在错的时间里，遇到对的人，是一种叹息。
在错的时间里，遇到错的人，是一种无奈。

Today is a mistake.

A space to breathe is all I wanted.

The Journey of Dodo and Me

Hehe~ Hello Dodo aka xiao didi/ xiao mei mei!!
I'm pretty sure you will be shocked to see this heading right..

*Surprise Surprise*

Oh well~ This is the least I can do for you, since I can't be there to celebrate for u ^^
How I wish my exam could end earlier..jz 2 days earlier would be sufficient for me to fly back n Tada! appear in front of u. LoL

Before we proceed, I've something for your..
Please accept the honour of Most Loyal Dolph's World Blog Supporter award!!~
Haha~Thanks for visiting my blog so often..u r the one who always give the 1st comment or feedback on my posts. THANK YOU!!~

It is merely a year plus that we become friends, previously was simply knowing ur existence but never talk. =X
N stop proclaiming I'm a block of ice kay *slap slap*
At least I do know ur existence ever since Year 1 -- Dynamics project, ur group was the 1st one to try out the Carrefour toy car..after that a few groups attempted with the exact same car too! Hahax..perhaps ur sos is more low profile, or even 毫不起眼..=D

Fast forward from 1st year to 3rd year..
Certainly, coming to Melbourne has enabled us to get to know each other more, and now you have become like a lil brother to me..^^

Let me recall...hmm...

The very 1st visit to Bettina was when ur household threw this 'End of Mid Sem Break Party'

But that has not yet brought us close together..
The major contributing factor that drew us closer was the 'Curry Chicken Night'..credit to Bing =)
The content was strictly between Bettina-ians and Morton-ians LoL

Including some sentimental values...... I guess we will never forget this night, it marked a beginning towards our closer friendship

Following that, we have numerous dinners and birthday parties together..


N even lantern festival celebration..
New song was composed ♫♪♫Kha Liang yuan, Kha Liang yuan~♫♪♫


Not to forget your 21st birthday~


The ooVoo chit chat sessions


Ballarat, Grampians, Malacca, KL food trip..
Never would we know that our bond of friendship would be strengthen like how we are today..
Sometimes I wish that I could turn back time to savor all the happy moments together and it's even better if all of you are still in Melbourne..=D
This is life~ Absence does make the heart grows fonder..
Hence, we will be more anticipating and appreciative of the time we could meet and spend together..which will be very very soon *Wink*

Can't wait to see u all...

To meet up with the new DSLR photographer *high five 500D*


To spend fun, silly and crazy moments together..


To embark on our Cuti-cuti or Makan-makan Malaysia journey


Wait for me k, don't "tau jiak" 偷吃!


Attention!!~ BE READY!!!! 'm coming back to claim ur promise -- "go to apa sai places and outings e.g. sing k
LONG ZHONG sapu ka liao"

Haha~ That's about it.
Time for you to switch to standby mode n come up with all the creative, innovative dreams..=D


Lastly, wishing you a wonderful and blessed birthday (=
Selamat Hari Jadi~ Sang yat fai lok~ 生日快乐~ Seh jit huah hee~
又长大一岁了，要生生性性 sang sang seng seng ok?
HApPy BIrThDaY!
-XOXO-

Sign off with all-time-famous -- Keat Ming's pose


P/S: While browsing the photos, just realise that none of the proper photo captured is only the two of us. Haha~ The time will come ^^

New Aussie Prime Minister

If you think that World Cup is the hottest news in the paper now..
If you think that England got into the 2nd round is a big hot news..
If you are excited with the beginning of Wimbledon match..
I shall provide you with another piece of shocking news @@

O.O A new Prime Minister has been born in Australia!
The new Prime Minister is a SHE!
She is officially the 27th Aus Prime Minister on 24th June, 2010.
She is the Australia's first female Prime Minister!!
---> Julia Gillard

Oh well, since I didnt follow up what has happened and all.
If you want to know more, you can simply Google it!~

*shameful*
Living in this country but do not pay any attention to its political movement.

Sigh~ *hide my face*
I don't like reading.
But this could not be the excuse for me not to be concern about the operation throughout national and international region.
Must learn to be slightly more aware of what's happening around us.

前途

好多想法
什么是可行的？
什么是合适的？

人家总会给于毕业生一些祝福语，像“前程似锦”、“光芒的前途” 等等。
可是，怎样的前途才是光明的？
又要如何闯出一番成就呢？

Another semester n I'll be done with my degree.
Honestly speaking, I'm clueless about the future career.
I do not know where I should be, what job to take or even whether I will be getting a job with the current high jobless rate in the society.
I guess I have ignored the option to further study or obtaining a PhD qualification.
My head would certainly be experiencing permanent damaged if I choose to continue somehow.

Some might think that I worry too much.
But, seriously, it is time to start thinking.
To be successful, I believe 90% of hard work and 10% of luck are essential. This theory is only applicable for normal people with the same IQ level like me, not applicable for genius.




前途茫然者 笔

Have we ever crossed path?

Was supposed to resume my engine to study for the last paper today after 2 days of rest.

Well, I did read okay :/
But my progress was only 1 lecture ++ up to now. *Bravo bravo* =.=!

I'm feeling so rejoiced tonight..
To find out how amazing people are connected and friendships are made.

Not sure if you ever aware of this:
In the same frame of life...
在同一个生活包厢内，许多的人生故事在同时上演着。
或许，你其实就出现在某某人的生活当中；只是你从未察觉或停下脚步回头看看跟你擦肩而过的人与事。

Strangers today might be friends tomorrow.
You might not keep in touch forever with all your friends you have today.
But each and everyone of them does make a difference in your life.

Before tonight, I only knew about reminiscence of good old times with old buddies.
However, tonight I learn about reliving the past with people you called them strangers sometimes ago and now friends. You have been through the same thing and have gone to the same place at the same time. And now you can exchange stories of what have happened at each other end upon the same frame of life.

Isn't it amazing how people cross path and only those who stop by, spend time together would become buddies?

This affectionate post was triggered by my friend, who randomly went to read my older blog posts.
Quoted from KM:

"It gives me a feeling as if i just went into someone's old store room and started to dig out pictures and old stuff..old and dusty, yet memorable.""

Full of imagination, but very well said. (=

Of 1st Paper and Fun

4th year Sem 1 exam progress: 50% completed.

That 1st paper was quite a combination of easy+hard.
We have 4 lecturers teaching this subject. I'm sorry to say this, the management lecturer (who is a CEO) was really lazy. Haha. 80% of the questions were exactly the same as pass year. But this only contributed like 30% of the paper.
I wish I did not spend so much time on memorising.
Again, I would be very regretful if I did not do my best.
Humans! Always contradicting themselves!!

However, the engineering economy part was quite a killer of the paper, especially the true false questions. There were 20 T/F in total. Perhaps u might think tat must be very easy.
It is easy if the question is as simple as "World Cup is conducted every 4 years. T/F?"
It is twisting here and there, and I ended up with a lot of 'False' answers because I think the lecturer is cunning @@
I would rather Eugene gave us more numerical problems to compensate this true false section.
Thankfully that I saved the true/false section for the last. Time management during exam is very important. Luckily I don't follow the sequence. Others who are stuck at the true/false did not have enough time for the other sections.

Whether I did well or not, I've no idea.
Everyone has been saying that this subject is a minimum of Distinction.
I'm a bit more greedy, I wish for a HD. *hmmm..*

I hardly slept the night before the exam. Only had 1.5 hr of sleep.
But it feels so good when you know you have tried your best.
Hopefully I can maintain the good form for the 2nd/last paper in 10 days time.

Right after the exam, we 'chiong' to Mt Dandenong!
Haha..I know, this is C-R-A-Z-Y!~
My body was telling me to sleep, but my heart says GO~ LoL

Well, me n Jun have been planning to go Mt Dandenong to take photos ever since the start of the semester..We thought we will hv the time to go since the timetable is quite empty, but who knows the research has taken us so much time.
Whenever it is sunny, we need to go lab; n cloudy/rain when we have a bit of time to spare. :(
N the weather looked good after the paper...so we decided to go despite the tiredness (with my 1.5 hr sleep T_T)
The other reason is to tempt the housemate who has gone back to Msia, she wanted to go Mt Dande too XD
Winter season n mountain top. It's enough said that the temperature is gonna be low low low.
It's freaking cold. Haha. The weather was still good when we arrived. But it got cloudier n more windy after our lunch. *frown n frozen* Dont get to see the skyline of Melbie.

This is what they called The Skyline of Melbourne

becoz the city of Melb is floating among other region lands.

(This picture was taken with my noob Sony digital cam during my 1st visit to Mt Dande last year October.)

However, it was really fun spontaneous outing.
Of course, the participants have contributed the major factor to the FUN ^^

Hope to go Mt Dande with a nice, sunny weather again :))

The gay couple with good food:P

Hui^2 and Chyi's 1st visit to Mt Dande, n my 1st visit to Ms Maple's Tea Room *love*

Ended my day with a 5-hr of nap.
Pardon me with my deep sh*t sleeping time. =X

Destructive wind

It was super duper windy last night, causing chaos around Victoria region.

From one of the weather forecast online,

Warning Summary at issue time - Severe weather warning for destructive winds for the Central forecast district.

Forecast for the rest of Thursday - Cloudy. Scattered showers. The chance of thunderstorms from the late morning. Winds northwesterly averaging 50 to 65 km/h tending westerly up to 50 km/h during the morning then tending west to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h later in the evening.

According to my friends, some places had power outage due to fallen trees etc etc.
The power of Destructive wind @@.
Indeed, the strong wind over here is no joke.
Still remember there was once, I could barely walk in the wind even though I've tried so hard to move forward. It would be funny to look at me because I was as though stepping at the origin point. In fact I was guessing if I stop 'walking forward', I might be blown away or fell onto the ground. huhu~

Last night, I could hear the wind blow strongly n clearly as though I'm outside the house. No joke!
Usually we have rain in Malaysia; one thing distinctive over here is that rain doesnt fall often. But once it is triggered, it becomes a thunderstorm.
You no longer hear rain dropping, but hails attacking the earth.

Listening to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus songs
This verse kinda hit me instead of the chorus.
"I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

Are you my Guardian Angel?

~直到清晨6时，陪伴我的只有狂风暴雨（冰雹）~

Old vs young

Something that lighten up my day.

When I was collecting my assignment from the ChemEng General Office,
"So your surname is Mei?"
{Nope, Chew.}
"And you are from 2nd year or 3rd year?"
{4th year}
"You dont look like 4th year. You look young!"
{*giggle*}

LOL. I actually felt damn old nowadays. I was born in February. Even though age wise I'm the same with the rest, but whenever someone's bday notification pops up on FB, I'd feel like my bday was a long time ago. =.=

I guess it is because of my size that people tend to think that I'm young? N it is not because of my look. Haha~ But that line still made my day ^^




Stess level increasing..2 more days to my 1st paper..T_T

Me Want Go Home

My current PM on msn is "我要回家。马上立刻即时"
N I really wish so.

2 more weeks to be home.
Do you think it's very soon? But, I think otherwise.
It is a bad idea to keep counting the days, because it only minus 1 for each passing day. Whereas if you dont count, then you will be more excited to find out that the days to be home are drawing closer than u expect.
Don't know what theory is this.

Congrates to those Chem Eng students who have completed their finals for this semester.
So demotivating larh~
They have finished exams before I've even started my 1st paper.
In addition, Sia (my housemate) is flying home tomorrow
NOOooooooo~ I dont like the idea of finishing the exams late..especially when I really keen of going back Msia.
Why?!! Why set my exams to end so late?
What other kept telling me: "Think positively, you have more time to prepare, not so rush..etc etc"
But not like I'm making full use of the time to study. *guilty*
If I were to choose, I really dont mind to hv a rush timetable this round in order to go home earlier n for a longer period.

Sigh. Things wont just go according to how you wish for sometimes.
Perhaps, God wants to teach me to be patience.
Alright. I should stop complaining before getting scolded by those that don't get to go home.
Please be contented 知足常乐

Side track no. 1:
Btw, all the best for Sunway Mechatronics students 1st paper tomorrow.
Dodo, if you ever read this, haha..remember to study hard and grab HD in order to fulfill scandal =D

Side track no. 2:
Just completed Gossip Girl Season 2. LoL I know I'm slow. Have been watching Taiwan series lately. Downloading Season 3 now. Will try to catch up before Season 4 is released. :D

Jay Chou

Tonight, repeatedly playing Jay Chou's songs on my iTunes playlist, not all of his songs, but just the recent few albums.
No idea why I jz dragged his songs into the playlist.
A lot of things are not explain-able I guess.
I always have this problem with Jay Chou's songs, in which I would not like his songs when I just listen to it for the 1st few times. In fact, I felt uninterested or even annoyed by his songs.
However, after listening for Nth time, I will sort of love it.

Haha. This leads me thinking about how I treat others things in life. Somehow true and applicable.
Things that I <3 at 1st sight would not last, but I will treasure more on things that I started to like it after disliking for awhile.
Such a random fact about me. =D

＊久未放晴的天空
　依舊留著妳的笑容
　哭過　卻無法掩埋歉疚

　風箏在陰天擱淺
　想念還在等待救援
　我拉著線　複習妳給的溫柔

　曝曬在一旁的寂寞
　笑我給不起承諾
　怎麼會怎麼會　妳竟原諒了我＊

＃我只能永遠讀著對白
　讀著我給妳的傷害
　我原諒不了我
　就請妳當作我已不在

　我睜開雙眼　看著空白
　忘記妳對我的期待
　讀完了依賴　我很快就離開＃

Was very touched by this song tonight. Even though I dont feel much connected with the lyrics.

口是心非

"开玩笑"的背后，多少有些许事实；
"不知道"的背后，多少有些许想法；
"不管了"的背后，多少有些许在乎；
"没关系"的背后，多少有些许失落。

Quoted this from Cheryl's FB status.
Find it quite applicable..perhaps that's why ppl always say gals are 口是心非。

But, do you know that: sometimes it is best we don't tell direct answers, because situation doesnt allow us to?

World Cup 2010

FIFA World Cup 2010 has started..
Many people around the world especially footie fans are extremely excited about this 4years-once event.

Manage to watch the opening at Uni computer lab last night..haha..so cool..never know uni has such cool facility..
But then nothing fascinating about the opening..
Some football fans claimed that the opening is jz an indicator for the start for the world cup season, it is not a movie or film..LOL
Too bad~ I really don't enjoy football matches..
But I do find Namewee's new song interesting..
"放半粒 handicapped goal" - Youtube it if you havent watched it.
According to KM, "This time the video is shot with presentable ladies, no more 'a gua'"
Haha~Good observation!

Came across this real cool World Cup calendar

Now everything has been worldcup-revolutionized..almost all the advertisement would include world cup merchandise as promotion..

World cup fever vs exam period.
Luckily it doesnt concern me..on the bright side, the study environment in uni has turned better..all the bola kaki would be camping at somewhere with large screen i pressume.. :)
There are even friends that bought large plasma tv for World Cup..
How insane is that?!

Time to study =X

Just realise my blog posts hit 300 for the previous post. *Dancing happily*
But I doubt I've posted all 300..some are still in draft mode, which I cannot be bothered =X

Yesterday was a mixture of HaPpInEsS + GuIlTiNeSs..
Yesterday was the 1st day of the start of Monash Sem 1 2010 exam period.
But that doesnt concern me, cz my 1st paper has 1 more week to go.
N guess what? I'm still pretty relax..not stressing about the finals yet.
WORSE still, went out for the whole day until late night with friends, had fun like exams are over. *tsk tsk* So terrible.
Lord of Fries with Indian sauce *slurp slurp* Bought it before the shop closed :P

can you feel (see) the love on Dr.Goh's face? Haha..it is the natural shadow by the way.

My long awaited egg tartttt...*Satisfaction*

Actually, it is the Light In The Winter event brought us to the city. However I've no idea how the calculation thingy work..I did try to understand, but give up somehow =.= More of like jz having fun taking pictures with the imitated sun which you can see from afar in the city..Hee~
Chyi:"The sun is in my hand!" LOL

Freddoooooooo in winter ^^ Thanks lotz to our Mr. driver aka Mr. photographer. Despite that u r tired, but u still keep ur promise n go with us. Appreciate it!

After home, had an awesome 'yum char' session with some cute friends.
Just that I was not present at the scene.
N the internet line wasnt really smooth..but oh well, it really put a big smile on me for the night. Miss u people so much..can't wait to join in the talk for real~~

That's why I'm filled with guilt now..even though I still feel happy. @@
I'm so gonna be blaming myself if i didnt do well for the finals in which I should hv plenty time to prepare. *Grrrr*

Enough of fun and play time.
I MUST Start My Study tomorrow (as in today)
