She thought she was done for. Doomed forever.
Never did she know how easy it was to forgive and forget.
Now she's as happy as a mermaid at sea...

That was easy.

Please forgive my random lousy analogues and non-sensical ramblings recently. Certain things are meant to be out in the open. Others are for myself to understand and for you to keep on guessing. Have a nice day! ;)

Fish

Fishies come, fishies go.
We see a nice juicy fish around. We drop our bait hoping for it to make the bite. We wait and wait, and wo and behold- it sees a juicy worm nearby and decides it wants that instead. Juicy worm for a juicy fish. Why not? Can't kill the juicy worm anyway. It's already eaten.
So we let that juicy fish go... After all, there are many other juicy fishies in the pond. So why dwell on it?

:)

I didn't do it intentionally. It just happened to be There.
And how I wish I hadn't...

Back To Uni

And... we're back at uni again.

was spacing out in class today. i cant even name what class i was in without referring to my notes... I don't know what my courses are called :S except Pharmaceutics :) hahaha!

The first class was ok though. just a bunch of introduction stuff. it was the second class that caught me off guard for a bit. didn't expect so many formulas thrown at us.

Anyway....
you were right. ;)

What a cold day...

The temperatures shown on the new time/temperature signs in adelaide are all wrong... :S



They're so sweet... *jealous* :P

Does she know?

It is selfish.
It is unfair.
And yet she does it.
Because she believes it's right.

It's not all about her.



ok. i get it.

slap in the face?
sorry.

I made tea. Then i forgot about it. Now it's cold.... :(

I hate not being able to wake up in the morning, so i sleep in, and then wake up very late and i get that horrible feeling... :S not only feeling sick, but also the feeling that half the day is gone, ive only got 4 hours of sunlight, and i've just woken up.

Winter... GO AWAY ALREADY!
last year, the first week of uni after winter break was about 20degrees. Do you think it's going to happen this year?

It was 3 degrees at about 7am this morning. Now it's 16. Thank Goodness!

ok this is so totally out-dated... but i should write anyway.
results came out on saturday and good news- no worries about repeating the exam or worse case- repeating a year. yay! :) not ecstatic about my overall result, but quite happy. got more or less what i expected anyway.

On a completely different note...
i'm broke. I've been spending mum and dad's money the past week because my own earnings have been completely dried out. yep. not a single cent left. brilliant right? thank restaurants, and shopping and Paintball.
but i've had a blast so far.. and the holidays aren't over yet. more spending, more eating, then i shall replenish my bank after it's all over when uni starts again in a few days time...
But... i will sacrifice the laser skirmish and karting activity... save something to do for the next holiday.
ugh. ok. maybe not. i might change my mind on that.

Pictures and such

Dad came down from Brisbane yesterday. We walked around town for a bit, then went to get dinner at San Giorgio, and then dessert at Chocolate Bean. OMG THE CHOCOLATE... Love love love love love....

(too bad im a horrible photographer who doesnt know how to use her camera... so i have lousy pictures... :(... ) so take your pick.. with flash....

without flash...

choc fudge cake (mud cake?), white chocolate soup, dark chocolate soup, chocolate mouse, some cream and chocolate covered strawberries....

I WENT PAINTBALLING TODAY! woot! for the first time ever. I dont know if i'll go again though. Those paintballs really do hurt. I don't think I got hit on the vest at all... people keep on shooting my legs.. AND MY BUTT. Ugh. i have this circular paintball mark in the middle of my ass cheek and its really freaking me out cuz I don't feel it now... but what if it starts hurting later?? o.O i have a similar sized mark on my knee, a little mark on my other leg... and a pretty bad red mark on my face... im glad i have lots of hair and im glad its not very very obvious :S cuz its sort of underneath. what annoys me most is i have no idea WHO SHOT THAT PAINTBALL! ugh. lousy aim.

maybe sometimes i should care a bit more about what other people may think about me... here. in adelaide.
I realise I am a lot more careful back in Singapore. But here... I'm uh... nevermind...

AH!

1) crisis crisis crisis. ugh. why now?
2) :S *embarassed*
3) worried... so how?

Pride

Pride is a lofty view of one's self or one's own. Pride often manifests itself as a high opinion of one's nation (national pride), ethnicity (ethnic pride), or appearance and abilities (vanity). Pride is considered a negative attribute by most major world religions, but some philosophies consider it positive. The opposite of pride is humility (Wikipedia 2008).

Ok... forget about all the other bitty things wikipedia went on about. I'm talking about self-pride.

So, is pride a good or a bad thing?
I personally think that if you've accomplished something, you should feel proud of yourself. It does not matter who you are and what you do, whether it was a big accomplishment, or a small one. If you know you've done your best, if you know you gave it all, then go ahead and be proud of yourself. You deserve it. Being proud of yourself just shows that you are satisfied with what you have done.
But Pride happens to be one of the seven deadly sins. I can't see how it's such a deadly sin though... maybe what they meant was excessive Pride up to the point where you believe you're on top of the world, you're the best in everything, you're superior amongst everyone else, and you don't accept any criticism...
But that's extreme... As a matter of fact, self-pride does not have to have any negative implications on anyone else. You are not putting someone else down by being proud of yourself. Being proud does not imply that you are superior, nor does it imply that you're THE best. It just means you're happy with what you have accomplished... Right?

In Buddhism, Pride is seen as illogical as no one person or thing can be better or worse than something or someone else (Wikipedia 2008).

Maybe my understanding of what 'pride' means may be wrong.... Maybe what i'm referring to really is just 'self satisfaction'...
Oh well.

Here are a couple of quotes I found (By people I don't even know)...

"Always be proud of yourself and understand that it's your individuality that makes you beautiful." - Mark Feehily

(I especially like this one):
"Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are."- Nancy Lopez
It just makes sense...

just... so sudden.

I had it in my head that I'll be seeing you again in January. You were the 'home person'. the one who's there when everyone goes away. The one we speak to when we need a taste of home and to hear of familiar places and stories. The one we all meet up with when we come back from where ever we are.
And all of a sudden you're gone. When we arrive home you're no longer there to welcome us at the airport. When we leave you won't be there to send us off like you always did. And worst of all, when we speak to you, you'll probably be telling us of unfamiliar places, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar things...
So what's going to happen? When I get back in January, who do I call? Everyone else will be there on 'holiday'. You never know who will be there and who won't. You're supposed to be the one person I know I can call because you're supposed to always be there... Now you're not. So we'll be a bit lost won't we?
It's been 4 months since I last saw you, but all this time I knew it won't be long before we will meet up again. Just like everyone else. But now I don't know when I'll next see you again. And all of a sudden I'm sad. And I miss you already.

Holiday?

I woke up this morning and these are the thoughts that ran through my head...


What time is it? 12:00pm. crap. meeting in 4 hours. I better not be late. aagh. headache again. Whats the meeting about anyway? oh right... the Malaysian Carnival. Crap. The carnival. we're screwed. I still need to get that guitar player's number to find out exactly what he does. What else do we have for performances?? wait wait.. why am i worrying about performances? I'm the fashion show person. I have um... 1 person and 1 costume (hopefully) but she wont be in adelaide till only about a week before the carnival... oh yes. and i might have 1 batik shirt from someone. But thats nothing much... Ok its late i better get out of bed...
my room looks like shit. i need to clean it up. work tomorrow. i need to wash my uniform.

=S

the entire holidays i'll have the msian carnival thing at the back of my head and its easier said than done to really DO something about it...

Big emoticon?

I just went to kavi's blog and she mentioned about emoticons showing up bigger then normal on ebuddy...

cannot be any true-er.

Check this out:

That's what you call a BIG EMOTICON.

and! it bounces up and down... Seriously.

Because I Can.

OK. so. about time i post some pictures up right?

on a side note...

Sort of feeling a little bad, but I'm not going to apologise more than I already have. you'll get over it. It might take a while but you'll get over it soon enough.

I'm So lazy. i can't even write a proper blog entry.

Goodnight.

Greetings from Canberra!

We arrived here yesterday... managed to catch a bus from the airport to the city. completely missed our stop, but since we were the last ppl to get off the bus driver was so kind to turn around and drop us near where we were staying :)

then we had dinner at HogsBreath after walking a bit around what looked like The City of The Dead.
Dark and Quiet it was...


Today we got up pretty late >< then we walked to Canberra Center.
Which turned out to be a pretty MASSIVE SHOPPING CENTER!! WOOO HOO!! love it.
it was raining the ENTIRE day so we stayed indoors in the massive shopping center :)
when it finally stopped for a bit we tried walking to the anzac parade and the war memorial center. Got there just in time for the closing ceremony (some guy playing the bagpipe and they closed the doors....) and it was once again raining heavily. cold, windy and wet.
caught a bus from there back to the city (it was only about 3mins ride...) . had dinner and wandered aimlessly around the city looking for somewhere to stay for tomorrow night to no prevail....
came back to our motel, tried asking if they had a free room for tomorrow but no... ALL FULL not even the dorm rooms. NNOoooooooo!!! *PANIC*
so anyway, i asked him if ther ewas other places he could suggest and he gave us this list of places and told us where he thinks we could stay so i just called up whoever he told to call and *yay* found a place. (its the first time i called in to book a hotel!!) so tomorrow at about 8am we're moving OUT from here and IN to the new hotel for a night... then taking a bus down to the parliament center area and get stuff done and look at more boring stuff....

i think ive bored you enough now. i shall write more when i can because i should be packing up my stuff to leave early tomorrow cuz i CANNOT be late tomorrow if not the whole purpose of me coming here will be defeated. I NEED TO RENEW MY PASSPORT. so i cannot be late.
ok. see ya.

post-exam

i woke up this morning/noon thinking
"Ah crap, its 12pm. when's my next paper? o yea, its at 6:30. no worries i have time, i can go back to sleep. O WAIT NO. I DONT HAVE A PAPER. that was YESTERDAY. YAy. sleep...."

PJ's disappointed me last night. They used to open late. What happened? :(

Tonight i finally got to sing. It was fun. Thanks hosan... and happy birthday to you.

i think i've been out too much. I'll be off to canberra on sunday. My body need serious rest.

time to sleep.

Goodnight.

DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE

IM DONE DONE DONE DONE!

for semester 1 year 2. hopefully i'll pass everything and sheila doesnt have to eat any socks :P

I think i did ok.

ALMOST

almost almost almost there...

I'm going to go home now and memorise a bunch of reducing and oxidising agents, and a bunch of reaction mechanisms like the stupid diazobenzene thing. i just cant get it in my head.
Wish I could sing ' i can't get you out of my head' now by kylie minogue but unfortunately mine's the opposite case....

ok that was SO lame.

I should go.
