One more month to go. haha.
Exam is just around the corner which means that I am going back to Malaysia soon! I feel extremely happy for that. I have been waiting for this moment since I came here. Although the life here isn't that bad after all, home sweet home is always the best right?
A few weeks before exam should be very important for students to make their last effort. Library is full of students with every kind of books they borrow from the library. All these things do not happen for the lazy guy --- Gan yi hong. As usual, he is stick with his computer and manga despite the coming exam. He knows that he has to strive hard for good result and he definitely knows that if he doesn't start to read pharmaceutics now, he is going to face a big problem later. Pharmaceutics is just too complicated for him especially the part when it describes how the health system in Australia works. That will be easier for local students but for an international student like him, it will be difficult to memorise everything now! ( I know that I shouldn't feel so. :P )
The urge to study doesn't come to me, my mind is just full of the activities that I plan to do when I go back to malaysia later. This is the time for me to think about what to buy for all my relatives. I need to buy lot of stuffs for those who have been waiting for me! :P:P
English? I keep my distance away from newspapers and blogs for quite some time. I need to start finding them in these few weeks time. This is to prevent my father from saying something like : " how come your english standard still remains the same after you have been staying in Australia for such a long time? "
Anyway, I can foresee my future. english english english. I really hope that one day when I wake up from a bad dream, my mouth can speak in english with ease and without any pauses. My mind can think in english without any obstacles and my hands can write in english without any grammar mistakes. I don't wish that I can write like an author. I just wish that I can be a average writter with no simple grammatical error. I absolutely wish that my father will say something like: " your english does improve a lot!" That will be the best bday present for me. haha!
All these dreams will not happen! The only way to achieve my goal it is to be hardworking. I need to strive hard during my summer break. Hope that I can finish harry porter after my summer break. :P:P Father, don't worry. I won't give up.
PS: I still hate languages! Hate grammar!

Holiday~~
It was ages ago since i update this blog. Sorry about that. Haha. I am really lazy to write something here most of the time. Although there are some interesting things that worth to be mentioned but I just don't have the enthusiasm to write them. So lazy huh! I deserved a scold.
These few days were very wonderful. After the Biology practical on last Wednesday, the holiday mood dominated me and I started to become lazy. Leaving all the books and notes behind, I enjoyed myself playing computer games, chatting and wasting time walking around in the house. I had left out so much and I was still able to use all my precious time doing nothing. Amazing huh?! yea~ Soon I would face the consequences.. Haiz.
The holiday kicked off by a visit to my jewish friend's small party on Friday. Interesting enough, He is living with a indonesian girl and a cute land lord. I enjoyed the dinner ( spicy fried rice and wrap) provided by them and we had lots of fun playing a special game called greed. A special experience and thanks to Jeremy for inviting us along.
The next day was a tiring day. We hunted the city down for the hope of gaining the grand price of 1000 dollars. Big money huh! Haha. We ran for a few kilometres and in the end we won one 2GB USB pendrive for each person. Thanks to the pedestrian in rundle mall for giving a help in building the largest human piramid in adelaide!! :P:P
The tireness remained and worsen after we went to glenelg beach and soak ourselves in the freezing cold sea water. I was thrown by a whole group of people and thanks guys! That would be the most wonderful thrown I had ever encounter. Anyway, it was really cold!!! haha. I enjoyed it though. Don't worry. Spending time with your friends and love one along the beach was definitely a wonderful idea. Try it out. ^^
And today! I didn't go anyway, just spent my time with te ying reading the statistics notes. Anyway, it was fun as well. And hopefully tomorrow we are able to finish the statistics's assignment. Null hypothesis : We are able to finish the assignment tomorrow. Alternative hypothesis : We are not able to finisht the assignment tomorrow. Significance level 0.05
If the p-value is less than 0.05, I will treat you guys some ice-cream!! haha. So pray for me okay? :P:P
Holiday started. I need to plan well so that I won't waste any precious time and I need those time to revise the stuffs that I left out in the first half semester. Wish me luck~ ^^

Experience versus Wisdom You versus Me
People have long wanting to get wisdom from their life. They learn from University, they learn from religion, they learn from internet and they learn from any way they can. In the end, not everyone is going to attain to real wisdom. I never discuss this with my friends nor my relatives. Everyone seems to be avoiding this topic to prevent anything bad from happening. Why would i say that debate or quarrel might happen if you bring this topic forward in a discussion? Different people have different mindset. They perceive and define wisdom by using their experience and the education they received since they were born. They learn slowly by taking the experience from their surrounding regardless the reliability of the source. Debate will start to occur when everyone thinks that their own opinion is the correct one.
"Do not believe on your own views until you achieve the level of Arhan."
"Why Arhan's view can be trusted? Arhan doesn't have attachment and thus he possesses the real wisdom. How about us? If we can't trust ourselves, what should we do when we meet some problems and how do we live a life CORRECTLY?" A student asked.
"Since you can't trust your own views, just rely on the sages' teaching. Sages have achieve wisdom; they can guide you to the correct way."
"But how do we know that they are correct? What if they are wrong? What if MY view is the best view?"
"When you are saying "my" view, I know that your view can't be trusted. A true Sage doesn't have his OWN view. When you say MY view, that is base on what you have been through. A person with wisdom doesn't use his own view. He uses the wisdom from the "true self". Everyone's "trueself" is the same. Therefore there is no YOU and ME. Sages use the REAL wisdom."
"YOU are autocratic."
"I am." master said.
"huh??" Astonished by what he replied.
"Aren't YOU?"
"Er....... Thank you master. Now I understand."

Human..
When I was six years old, I was glad that I was born in this world. There were four persons who always protect me, play with me, and gave me warmth whenever I needed it. The world was so colourful and out from any pollution. I enjoyed my life running around the house and joy never left me behind. In my mind, everyone was so nice.. everyone was so benevolent. There was nothing else but happiness. To me, people will always care for each other and willing to help each other when one faces a problem.
When I was 12 years old, I started to notice the dark side of human. The things happened around me makes me wonder the purity of this world. People starts to become darker and darker to me. However, all these was ignored by me and I just enjoy having fun playing with my friends and getting the protection from my family. The fact that my mind started to be polluted was covered up by the innocent left in my mind.
After six years, it was getting more obvious to me. I started to realize that not everyone was as benevolent as I thought. The worse was realizing I was as evil as they are. The pollution in my mind was getting worse after the impurities from the outside collaborate with the devil in my heart. The realization of my evil part makes me suffer. I started to hate this world, I started to hate myself and I wish I wasn't born in this cruel world.
Receiving the teaching of the great sage saved me. It prevented me from walking the wrong path continuously. Holding the helping hand of sages, I enjoy walking the path that lead to happiness. I felt lucky that I met them just in time. Thanks to my compassionate mother.. Thank you so much. Out of so many person that doesn't have the luck, I am the lucky one to receive the education in the early life. But due to my laziness, I felt that I was loosing them soon.. This freaked me out..
19 years old.. A age that most of the people afraid of. Living for twenty years isn't long. Challenges are waiting for me ahead. I don't have enough courage, i don't have enough strength, and I don't have enough wisdom. Starting to feel lonely, I want to find someone who has the same aim and can be my comrade. I found one now... And I know what she wants.. She want happiness. Just like me..
This world is cruel.. This world is hopeless.. This world is evil..
If you are thinking that way, you will never find peace..
Yes. You are right. The world is cruel, hopeless and evil. This is the fact.
But when you notice that, you should feel happy. As you will find your way to another world that is full of happiness.
This will will lead you to the path of joy. Believe it. It will..
Why?
Because I have found mine.. All I need now is perseverance and determination. ^^ So do you..

Hero
Everyone wants to be a hero. So do I. After living in this world for nearly 20 years. I noticed that, the true heroes always have to suffer and sacrifice. That is why they are heroes. The true hero will never be appreciated by any other people. Want to be a hero. You must have the ability to deal with loneliness. ^^
Amituofo. Our great teacher. You are really a hero. :D

A new sem, A new hope...
After three weeks of busy holiday, my second semester in Adelaide finally started with the freezing cold morning. You can see the water vapour coming out from your mouth when you exhale. Try to imagine how cold the weather is!! Guess what, it is only 0.8 degree celcius when I walked to campus this morning and that is the coldest weather I ever experienced in my life. I like cold weather before I came to Adelaide but now I understand cold weather can be frustrating as well! The cold wind is like a javelin pierce into your shirts and you will feel like your skin is freezing. The power of nature huh. Really scary.
Waiting for holiday is a part of a student life! Who doesn't like holiday? I doubted there is anyone will say no. However, I actually planned to do lots of things during the holiday but somehow I didn't manage to complete most of my plan. Laziness really is the thief of time. For conclusion, I just spend my holiday in Adelaide enjoying myself visiting all the interesting places such as wildlife park and germen town. Besides that, I participated in a few b'day party for my friends and that was really magnificent.
New semester is full of new challenges and new obstacles to be overcome with. Among all the problems, I think the hardest will be how to become a more benevolent person. I have been trying to control myself for a long time but it seems that the power of my bad habits is stronger than my determination. Hope I will gain more strength to deal with the growing evil in my heart. May amtb guide me all the way..
If you want to browse the pictures taken during my holiday, feel free to visit my facebook account and leave some comment. I am lazy to post all the wonderful pictures here. sorry about that. :P:P
P/S: 王妙音居士，be strong.. sorry that I can't give you comfort and give you support at that moment. I think amtb can hear you and help him to change to a better person.. Please accept my apologies for not being able to bring you happiness at this moment.. Take care .. 阿弥陀佛。

Back from Rushi camp!!
One more weeks to go!!! I am going to start my second semester soon. Hopefully I will enjoy it as much as I could during the first semester. My result was out yesterday and guess what i have for my COMM? It is I which means incomplete. Don't ask me the meaning as I don't know what happened as well. Most of my friends have failed it and hopefully i will at least get a P2 for it after it is completed.
The buddhist camp is rather enjoyable. I met a lot of new friends from all over the world like Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Hong Kong. the camp reminds me of the days when I was one of the commitees organising the similar youth camp in Tampin buddhist accosiation. I am quite suprised that they only organised the camp for two times before this as their events and games are really interesting and meaningful. It is really one of the most enjoyable camp I ever had. A great job! I learnt a lot from the camp and hopefully I manage to use all the knowledge I gain in my life.
Being one of the buddhist I am learn how to deal with death ( the ultimate problems ) and all sorts of problem that we used to have. However, with my affliction, I still can't control myself well enough to remain peaceful all the time. I really hope that one day I can achieve what I want to and bring happiness to the people around me just like the laughing buddha. Death. I suppose most of the teenager wouldn't think about this problem until they get old one day. I am lucky to find my own solution to overcome the death. Have you find yours? If you haven't, NOW is the perfect time for you to think about it. Don't think that you have a lot of time to think about it later because if you don't make a move now, you might regret later. Tomorrow will always be a mystery and who knows our life will end by tomorrow? Think about it seriously.
Find your peace in your heart. Then you will find your own way to live happily. First, we need to answer two questions.
What is life?
What is the ultimate goal of your life?
Me?
I am sure you know my answer if you followed my post.
My ultimate goal of life..
Obviously, Pure land....
AMTB..

Holiday starts!!
My holiday starts with a birthday party for Hooi lie after the toughest paper, COMM. Agr!!! Whatever it is, my holiday mood starts when I was doing the paper. I even fall asleep when I was doing my summary.. Speechless..
Holiday is the best time for us to relax and keep our minds away from all the books, assignments and tests. Holiday allow me to sleep more, play more and have my mind relax more.. I know you understand why I like holiday so much. Who doesn't like?
My writing skill is regressing... So do my speaking skill. These are all due to my laziness. Having no particular mood or enthusiasm to write, I neglected my blog for a long time. I feel extremely remorseful when i read somebody else blog. The way they present their life, the words they used really makes me indulge in a virtual world of language. I wonder... would I have the skill to create my own language world? But anyway, I will just sui yuan and try my best now.. So that i won't feel bad trying and trying again.
I will pass my first week of holiday walking around adelaide and know more about the city I am living in. Wildlife park, shopping centre and any places that can arouse my interest shall wait for my presence in these few days. I have prepared my bus tickets and here we go!! ^^
The second week is for buddhist camp organised by zhu lin temple. It is a youth camp which allow us to know more about buddhism and try some meditation. My mom is worried about the style they are using as I, the follower of pure land style, shall focus on chanting the amituofo buddha's name and not confusing myself with other methods. However, there will be no obstacles as I am the one who is controlling my mind. I will just chant amituofo while doing meditation and everything will be prefect!! This will be a good chance for me to train my chatting skill. ^^ yeah~
Third week is still blank and free from any plan. I will just spend some time with te ying and my friends.. If I will have any plan, I will tell you all.
That is the plan for my holiday. Lets have fun~ cheers~

We are together..
Sometimes i wonder.. Should I continue to do that? Should I continue to sacrifice? I am learned to be tolerent. But I think soemtimes we really need to show to them that we are together as a team. Not playing solo. If we lose, we will lose together. Therefore every single team member have to take responsibility about the losing.
Hrm.. I think I need to practice more and learn more.. So that I will know what should I do in whatever circumstances. I really need to learn hard...

Study break
Cold.. is the first word that comes into my mind everyday. Winter is here and I miss the warm weather in Malaysia. Although the temperature is just about 12 celcius, it is cold enough to make me shiver everytime i wake up from my sweet warm quilt!!
Study break last for two weeks and all we can do during this 'holidays' are just studying. Er... Some games and movies in the mean time are always favorable!! haha. Looking forward to winter break but I am worry about the coming exam.. Life is full of exam.. And everyone worry about that.
Friends, all of you are now going to university. Some of you are satisfied and some of you are not. Whatever the results are, let enjoy our uni life while we still can. No matter where you all go, we will still meet each other during CNY!! Yeah!! Looking forward to december!!

我流泪了……
在电脑面前，
当想到妈妈和爸爸在几年后就退休，
我忍不住流泪了。
你们一定要保重！！
T.T
The Call
By: sweeter
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder'
Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger'
Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

淡边 tampin... A special place.
淡边啊淡边~ 你总是那么的迷人。
一个位于马六甲和森美兰州边界的小镇，
一个不起眼的小镇，
没有大大的shopping centre,
只有那几间五脏俱全的百货公司和没人去的Giant。
没有多多的餐馆，
只有那几间好吃又简单的食馆。( 日香楼，金元宝--最常去的餐馆）
没有多高的山，
只有那一座一直守护着那里的淡边山。
没有多精彩的夜生活，
只有那二十四小时的mamak 档和那晚上十二时才开的satay 档。
没有多惊人的cyber cafe,
只有那一间每天都有烟味的extreme。
没有多少的娱乐，
只有在晚上才有人的futsal court。
没有多高的建筑物，
只有那四层楼的tampin square。
没有多奇怪的人，
只有半夜十二点去马六甲的学生。
没有多聪明的人，
只有可以把sejarah 课本背完的人。
没有多好笑的人，
只有冷笑话最多的人。（我好高兴有他。）
没有多坏的人，
只有骂脏话骂到很好笑的人，
没有多热情的人，
只有说话说通宵的人。
没有多冷的人，
只有很‘痹’的人。
没有多厉害说话的人，
只有‘车大炮’一流的人。
没有多迷人的狗，
只有可爱又聪明的小狗。
没有多少的帅哥美女，
只有那热情的朋友。
没有多奇怪的天气，
只有那可爱的风。
没有多豪华的酒店，
只有那……
温暖的家。
淡边我爱你！！
Pei pei birthday and henley beach
Haha.. Now i will post something up.. :P:P. Last wednesday, we celebrated pei pei, amreet and kah jien's birthday. ( their birthday is different but we decided to celebrate it together) With a suprise party held, We managed to give then an unforgetable birthday party. haha.
We prepared three cakes. We sung three birthday songs.. Egg were thrown and special gifts were given. Everyone was so excited and crazy in that party. And ofcourse, it is a special day for me. We hang on there until late at the midnight. After we went back the fun wasn't ended. It was continued by dota marathon. Crazy huh. Indeed we were. I think I won't do it a second time. Too tiring. haha. An unforgettable night!
Now, today we had a cycling trip to henley beach. It was a wonderful trip that allowed us to become 'crazy' again. These bicycles were provided by the Adelaide city counsel and it was free of charge!! haha. It was a long time since I ride a bicycle and this trip gave me a feeling of going back to the days when I was riding with my cousin at muar.. My childhood.. It was so fun.. Innocent childhood was the most valuable memory I have.
After One and half hour of cycling, we reached Henley beach. On our journey, we saw horses, ducks, all kinds of dogs, cyclists and of course serene scenaries.. The grass was green and the leaves on the trees dropping.. Autumn is ending and winter is starting. The cold atmosphere doesn't remove our joy to have fun together. The cold sea wind was styling my messy hair with my boredom was taken away by it in the process. Sea gulls were excited by the food we gave and people were amazed by the voice we made. Running on the beach brought me back to the unforgetable redang trip I once had.
Some of my friends turn to water man and some of them turn to sand man. haha. Video was taken and snapping sound of camera could be heard endlessly. Having a trip with all the people from Malaysia was always enjoyable.. Malaysia boleh!! hahaha.
I will upload pictures and some video hopefully to here and to facebook later. Cheers and wish I will have some trip like this again!! :P:P

Goodbye COMM !!
Yeah!!! Finally finished my presentation, although it didn't go as smoothly as I thought. :P:P. Still have to do a lot of practice before I really can give a fantastic presentation. Now all I need to do with COMM is just complete the final touch of my essay and then have the examination later on!! haha. My first tutorial class in UniSA, the COMM tutorial class, was ended yesterday.
I still remember the first day when I inside the tutorial room. Being uncomfortable with the new environment I had to face, I just keep myself quiet and listening to the discussion of the group. I knew Kenny and Sze Man in that tutorial and Jeremy also found his close friend from the tutorial class! Eric yeah!!! haha.. A special Jewish friend that migrated to Aus a few years ago. In our first tutorial class we were required to choose a topic for our assignment. Without any idea what topic suits me more, I chose the first question with a name of a medicine that I am not familiar with. "Should Adderall, an amphetamine, be prescribed to teenagers?" was the topic that I chose.
The purpose of this course is to teach us how to use the resources in the Uni. Furthermore, it introduced us what is the referencing system and how to avoid plagiarism to occur. I gained a lot of knowledge from the course especially how to find a journal from the databases. I don't even know how to differentiate journals and articles before I enter this course. On the other hand, pharmacist requires good communication skill and this course is to make sure we possess basic communication skill required in our future career.
I feel fortunate to have Dr. Elizebeth as my tutor. She is friendly and helpful to her students regarless who you are. Glad that I will meet her in my second year as my pharmacology lecturer. haha. Dr. Sykes is still teaching us next sem!! Cheers!!!
Below is a transperancy for my presentation. :P:P

Emptiness...
Most of the people had this feeling before...
"Why they are better than us? Why they are more clever than us?"
"why my house isn't that big? Why they are so rich? "
" why they are healthy? Why they do not need to suffer? "
And the question i always have is..
" Why I am here? "
Found my answer after few years.
Answer?
"To repay gratitude, to have revenge, to claim debts and to pay debts."
"I am tired of this.. I feel like I have done this again and again. My heart is tired. What should I do."
"Easy, Just let it go. Do not seek for revenge. Do not claim anymore debts. You will find peace after that."
" I would like to do it. But something keeps impeding me from doing so. It is hard. Haiz.. "
" Everyone is like that. Just don't give up and one day you will understand the joy of freedom."
May I get the joy of freedom..

Winter break is coming... One more month to go..
Life is getting busier and busier with the end of semester coming. Tonnes of reading, tutorial and assignment are waiting for me. Deep inside my heart I pray, pray for the strength that allows me to finish everything smoothly.
End of semester exam is just around the corner. Most of the lecturers keep on reminding us to have our study plan readied before it is too late. Ignoring their advice, I have my own sweet time doing some things that make my life happier. Example? Watching video of master chin kong!! haha.. Enjoyable!!!
Time and tide waits for no man. I should feel glad as this indicates that I can go back to malaysia soon! haha. I miss the people and the food there. Waiting for the moment to come. Things change fast. My brother has graduated from MMU, my cousins are going to graduate in three months time. My another cousin has enrolled in KTAR. phew.. All sorts of things have happened and I hope most of them will be a good one.
Winter is coming.. What kind of weather is it? I don't know... Hope I won't freeze to death here. I guess Malaysia is experiencing hot weather now. I wonder if I can bear the heat when i go back.
Still having simple and normal life. haha. Anyway, I like it. Simple person for a simple life!!!
And a special ending of course!! hahaha. ^^
cheers~~

凡所有相，皆是虚妄。
无常乃真真之道，在这个世界生活了二十年的我有了一点点的感受。一年前，我感受到了他的力量。速度可是刹那间。你要有心理准备都不能。一年后，我一时忘了他的存在。但现在我又感受到了.. 一个东西要永恒的话，只有一个办法，就是放下。
一切皆由真实心中作。作而不作，不作而作才是我们应该作的。

Something is wrong with my study method.
The test is coming. But I feel nothing at all. I am numb i guess. Since secondary school I dislike exam as I don't like to feeling of being pressure up. This cause me to feel nervous after the exam is over instead of before the exam. Exam, which can't be separated from our life, makes most of us unhappy.
I can study but I don't want to study just because I needed to. You might say that everyone is forced to study and this is indeed true for this moment. There will only be one person that can help me... me myself..

Fear of public speaking -- Glossophobia.
Tada!! The time for heart pumping and hand sweating came again!! Forcing myself to talk in the public, I had a chance to deal with my nervousness this morning. Although I have much time to calm myself down as I was the last one to present, everything was out of control when I opened my mouth. My hands were full of cold sweat and my heart was pumping incredibly fast. ( I don't think I will face the same thing even if I am confessing to someone.)
"Good morning everyone, I would like to talk about the sea...arch strategy that I have used in researching my essay topic." The first sentence was not well told and mixed with pauses. Ignoring the mistakes that I had made, I picked up my courage and continued with whatever words inside my mind.
"The topic for my essay is should adderall, an amphetamine be prescribed to teenagers?" That was my second sentence and the rest of the words I said would be too hard for me to remember. This might be due to the nervousness I encountered during the presentation. The presentation I was doing was to give an idea to our lecturer of our progess in doing our essay. Marks would not be given to the brief presentation that we gave but it gave us a chance to get some feedback from our tutor about our skill in presenting our ideas.
According to my tutor, Dr. Elliot, Feeling nervous is very common while presenting. She told us that she will be attending a conference this weekend and nervousness still can be found within her. It is quite suprising as she is a PhD holder who has gone through all sorts of presentation. Furthermore, she is a lecturer which means that her life is full of public speaking. Anyway, she explained that giving a presentation in a conference is totally different from the normal public speaking and nevertheless, she needs to present the work of other people this time.
"Feeling nervous is a good thing! It increases your alertness and makes you aware of whats going on. So don't worry if you feel nervous. That's normal!!"
I believe in what she said as she possesses the knowledge and the experience in public speaking. You will certainly agree with me that she is a good presenter if you attend one of her lectures. The fluency of her speech and the vocabulary she used in her lecture will impress you much.
I hope that one day I will be able to give a presentation just like the way she does. Communication skills and public speaking are vital to a pharmacist. Without these skills, misunderstandings may occur and some of them may cost a person's life. I can't take this risk!!
My ultimate goal is to present like Al-Gore , who is the former vice president of U.S. This might be impossible for me but there is nothing wrong to set a high goal for myself right??:P:P Cheers!!

Hiking!!
Welcomed to the morialta conservation park by the morning breeze, I was called back to the time when I enjoyed the view and the cold air of cameron highland. Most of the malaysian like to find some places that are cold to stay away from the unbearable heat from the sun. Out of so many ways, I prefer going to hills and highlands like cameron just to have my own sweet time breathing the cool air or to enjoy steamboat up there!! Nevertheless, It will only be fun if I go there with my family or my friends.
After confining myself in the city for a few weeks, it is time for me to break out from this 'prison'. Walking under the trees was good enough for me to release all the tension built up by the immense number of readings that I need to have. I love nature. Do you? Everything from the nature is so beautiful. If you are careful enought you will notice it.
Four hours of hiking were passed with laughter. Nature can cure one's heart with the voice of the birds, sound from the water and the colours of the trees and ferns. This trip doesn't disappoint us who seek for peace in our hearts.
MySA, thanks for everything..

We are living in a weird world..
Did you nitice that?? We are indeed living in a weird world...
People study for whole life, but when it comes to the end, they just notice that what they learned are not useful enough...
Unlike the ancient china, people were taught the real knowledge since they were jsut three years old or perhaps earlier, before they were born...
What is the real knowledge? Easy! The way of life..
Do we know that? Do we learn that?
You might think we did learn that. But in fact we didn't..
A simple question, how do we live our life? What is life for?
Millions of people doesn't have the answer. How about you? Do you have?
Don't wait... Search for the answer now before it is too late!!

一个航海员..
有一个小航海员，拥有着一个小小的船…
在茫茫的海洋上，没方向的四处飘泊…
无助和无奈的寻找方向…
有一天，另一个航海员找到了不起眼的他…
并将自己的地图和指南针给了他…
“你呢？”小航海员问。
“我已经记在脑海里了。别担心。”
“这儿是哪儿呀？”
“一个快乐的乐园！你在那儿会活得很快乐。”
“谢谢你，我还能够见到你吗？”
“如果你到达那儿，就能找到我了！希望会在哪儿见到你！”
就这样，小航海员有了目标…
他努力的往目标前进。努力的划呀划…
无情的风雨不停的障碍他，有一天，他灰心了。
“怎么划也划不到！根本是不可能的嘛…”
“只要不怀疑，努力的划，退了再划，再退了再划！总有一天你一定会到达那儿的。到时所有的努力就会有成果了。”这句话闪进了他的脑袋…
“好吧！但是真希望有另一个小航海员和我一起努力…一个人真的很容易灰心。”想着想着，他看到了一个在无人岛上的一个女孩。
“你在这儿不闷吗？要不要和我一起去乐园？”航海员问道。
“外面的世界真的那么好吗？我从来没想过到底外面是如何的。”
“试一试嘛，不试一试怎么知道呢？”
“好吧，我就试一试吧！不过我还不是很相信外面有多好。”
“谢谢你。”航海员露出了微笑。
“不必客气，你要慢慢教我如何航海哦！”
“一定！”
未来的日子会如何，小航海员也不知道，他只能默默地希望，他们俩有一天会到达那快乐的乐园。虽然小女孩还不那么了解航海员的毅力和愿心，他已经很满足。因为至少有另一个“小”的人，和他有着同样的方向，即使她并不是真真的想去那个美好的乐园…

4th of May.. Days are getting more and more hectic!
Hello guys!! My apologies for those who had been waiting for my post ( I wonder if there is any). These days I found out that I no longer have the urge to update my blog unless there is something interesting that I would like to share with you guys! Nothing much can be told as my life had gone back to its original state after the holidays ended. Classes, assignment, homework, cooking and sleeping were all the things I could do everyday! Boring huh.. What to do? Life is always like that and what we can do is to enjoy it!!
Yesterday a KFC gathering was organised in PP, SM, MY and Amreet apartment! It was the first time the chicken from KFC in Adelaide went into our stomach!! Almost all of our friends who came from malaysia answered the gathering except those who were afraid that the oily chicken will increase their weight!! ( I am thin, so.. no problem at all!!! wakakaka) With the aid of the coupons from the hosts, we were able to have a cheap and nice dinner althought it was not really healthy. There were 18 of us enjoying the delicious food ( I would say that KFC in Malaysia is better. ) and had fun chatting and playing during the gathering. Mind you, the noise that we made were even louder than the ear-breaking music in a pub!! Hope that the hosts would not receive any complaint letter about the funny and weird noises. :P:P I wasn't worried as Saturday night is the happy hour for australians. Therefore, making noises on Saturday night shouldn't be any problem! :P:P
Lots of things happened in the event yesterday but the most exciting moment for me will be the moment when Shoky confessed to YY with everyone staring at them! However, till now I am not so sure whether Shoky was just trying to amuse us or the words really came from his heart. Anyway, he indeed gave us a lot of laughter! hahaha! That was fun! The answer given by YY was obivously "deng!" which is the word that she always come up with. It has no meaning in some sense but sometimes it means everything. haha. Of course YY answered "no". If not, I am afraid someone will fly here and have my bedmate killed. touchwood.. haha.
Improving ourselves is the only way to avoid disaster from striking us. Knowing that we are living in a world that has all sorts of obstacles, changing ourselves will be a faster and better way to solve problem than expecting others to change as the real problem lies within ourselves but not others. May I can improve from one year to another and hope that my perseverance doesn't leave me before I attain the freedom which all of us will acquire one day.
Cheers and have a nice day!!
Yesterday a KFC gathering was organised in PP, SM, MY and Amreet apartment! It was the first time the chicken from KFC in Adelaide went into our stomach!! Almost all of our friends who came from malaysia answered the gathering except those who were afraid that the oily chicken will increase their weight!! ( I am thin, so.. no problem at all!!! wakakaka) With the aid of the coupons from the hosts, we were able to have a cheap and nice dinner althought it was not really healthy. There were 18 of us enjoying the delicious food ( I would say that KFC in Malaysia is better. ) and had fun chatting and playing during the gathering. Mind you, the noise that we made were even louder than the ear-breaking music in a pub!! Hope that the hosts would not receive any complaint letter about the funny and weird noises. :P:P I wasn't worried as Saturday night is the happy hour for australians. Therefore, making noises on Saturday night shouldn't be any problem! :P:P

I know i have been slacking for many days. Sorry for that.
When I have a holidays, I tend to be a slack no matter how long the holiday is. Books are forbidden and what I will do is just taking my own sweet time doing the things I like. Watching movies, playing games, and listening to the teaching of master will be just nice for me!! Anyway, who doesn't like holiday? haha.
Escaping from the fact that there was one important essay waiting to be completed, I spent most of my time hanging around with my friends. After the wonderful barossa trip, there wasn't enough time for us to have a long distance trip anymore. Haiz... Anyway, passing our holidays in the city was not a bad suggestion after all. We had experienced an interesting event like anzac day and had a simple trip to the mawson lake.
Anzac day, which stands for Australian and New Zealand Army crops, was the day to honour the soldiers that had fought for the country during world war 1. It was a big event in Australia and it gave us a great chance to witness the parade. What we had done were basically enjoying ourselves taking the photos with the statue around the city and had some fun visiting the beautiful church at north adelaide.
Talking about mawson, lake it was actually a mistake for us to think that it was a nice place to visit. ( Jien thanks K for that. Wuahahaha..) Anyway, we ended up experiencing the COLD wind and coffee in adelaide. I think It will be the bitterest coffee I had ever drink ( for what jien had ordered, I really feel amazed by how small the cup of coffee is. )
Finally my holidays ended with the sweet memories.. Hope I will enjoy my life here just like enjoying the holidays.. Cheers!!

Barossa Valley Trip!! Teach me the real meaning of wine!!
If you are a wine lover, Barossa Valley will be a place that you will like to visit. Situated in a strategic place surrounded by moutains, Barossa Valley has the suitable climate that favors the growth of vines which makes it to be the producer of 70 percent of the wines for all over the world ( Tour guide 2008 ). There are around 200 vineyards in Barossa Valley and you can have your own sweet time testing all different kind of wines from different vineyards. If you wish to buy a good and unique wine, that will be a nice place for you.
Departed at 8.40am from the Adelaide city, we were brought to the Barossa Valley by a small van driven by a special tour guide ( He is indeed special as he was once a teacher and a principle before. ). Along the way, we enjoyed sight-seeing and chatting with each other. There are 15 of us and yeah, we indeed occupied the whole bus!! haha. As I have mentioned above, Barossa Valley is a VALLEY that surrounded by mountains which means we need to pass some winding roads before we get there. It was like riding a roller coaster which had made some of us to feel nauseous.
The first stop is the big rocking horse ( a small wild life park and a toy shop )that give us the chance to experience the feeling of touching kangaroos, sheeps , peacocks and wallabies!!. Trust me, it was really fun to take pictures with all the animals while you can be so close with them. The animals weren't restricted inside the cage and we were allowed to do whatever we want with the condition we must not harm the animals. I bet you will see a lot of camera with different brands taken out by the tourist. Why the place is called the big rocking horse?? Simple! There is one huge rocking horse in that place. How big is it? The world biggest rocking horse!! It is almost 4 story high and if you are interested please feel free to vist my face book to have a look of that amazing horse. I didn't went up there as we needed to pay a few dollars to do so.
After that is the wine testing section. During this trip, we visited four vineyards which produces different taste of wine. For the wine rookies like us, we couldn't differentiate the tastes between the wines initially. However, after a few cups, the wines started to become familiar and we managed to get their names from their taste. Sorry to say that I couldn't remember the names of all the vineyards we visited. If you want more information, you may go to joyce's blog to find out their names. I am blur huh.. Yes, I am.. haha.. All kinds of expression could be seen during the wine testing.. But most of them said " Eww.. so bitter.. I prefer carbonated drinks more..". Haha. Among us there are a few people allergic to alcohol too. Several of them even had their faces as red as tomatoes after drinking certain amount of wine. hahaha..
All the vineyards are beautifully decorated with wine-related products and it gave me a feelings that I was in a bar. The adventure to these vineyards was indeed worth of the money we had spent for it. The experience was further colourized by the astonishing meal we had for our lunch. Again, I had the pitures in my facebook and I would provide you all a link to view the wonderful picture I had.
Our last checkpoint will be the whispering wall, a dam with a special property that allows the voice to transfer from one side of the dam to another. The people from the other side can hear us clearly even we whispered. The wonderfulness of engineering and architecture had stunned us in our last stop of the trip.
It was a lovely and nice day to be remembered of. After having my first trip in Australia, I hope I can have a few more in the coming holidays. It will be wonderful if 15 of us can have a trip together again!!

17th of April Finally!! My computer is alive again!!!
My laptop was put to sleep for about four days due to the broke down of my adapter. That will be the reason why I didn't update my post until today. Here I will write about a few things I had experienced in these four days.
13rd of April ----- Church day!! It was the first time I went to a church. The design of the church was really similar the one in the movie. The shape, the decoration and the ornament gave me a holy feeling ( I thought of a holy angel giving a priest a Bible once I got in there. :P:P ) It was really fun to know how they pray and learn the teaching from the priest ( The church I went is a catholic church). In most of the events, they sang with wonderful melody. It is kind of interesting although I hardly understand what they are doing. What I had done was just following the people in front of me. When they knelt I knelt, when they stood I stood, but when they sang of course I kept quiet as I dunno how to sing their songs! After praying sections and teaching sections conducted by the honorable priest, there was one event which gave holy communions to those who are faithful to the god. For non-christian like me, we were given blessings! haha. Happy to get blessing though. :P:P
14th to 17th of April ---- I enrolled in the english coursework organized by the learning connection of west campus. Therefore, I spent my morning and afternoon in the campus everyday to learn some stuff like reading skill, writing skill, referencing skill and oral presentation skill. Hope I had learn something from the voluntary course though sometimes I was not really concentrating in some of the lectures.I felt guilty about that. haha. The life without laptop on one hand was troublesome but on the other hand, I had more time to sleep because I had nothing else to do. ( don't feel like studying :P:P) In fact, I could hardly do anything without this important tool. Even for my assignments require the use of computer.
And so I received the adapter from Dell yesterday. Everything was back to normal from that day on. haha. Thanks to the service of Dell, my lovely Green Dell was alive again. Do you guys miss me? I don't think so. :P:P Attention, tomorrow I will have a trip to the wine factories in Adelaide. Here I promise you guys that I will upload as many beautiful pictures as I could. haha. Just look forward to it!! Enjoy!!

7th of April Dr Sykes!! You are my idol!!! haha... Thank you!!
Dr Matt Sykes!!! My chemistry lecturer!!! Today I am going to talk about him. As he had helped
As I had mentioned above, his name initiates with DR which means that he is a PhD holder. And behold!! He is not really old! haha. When I first saw him, the first thought was: "This lecturer is friendly and approachable!!" As days go on, my assumption is proved to be correct!! Everyone likes him not just because he is handsome, his teachings are indeed interesting as well!!
Last Friday I had my chemistry test in Brookman building. Very sorry to say, my 'dai tao ha' syndrome hit me again!!! This time was the worst!!! Can you believe that? I left my student ID card in the examination hall!!! The funny part was I didn't notice that until today!!! When I took out my wallet to pay for my lunch, I was totally freaked out!!! haha.. I deserve that!! After some critical thinking ( Cheh.. learned from COMM class huh! ), I guessed that Dr Sykes might have taken it and kept it. Indeed, he did!!! When I received his email, I felt like jumping into the sky!!!
It was sad that I could only show my gratitude by saying " Thank you sir!!" Haha. Here once again, I would like to say " THANK YOU DR SYKES!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!" :P:P I am advised that there was another girl who did the same thing but unfortunately, Dr Sykes couldn't find her card. "You are lucky! I couldn't find hers, but I found yours! Cheers! " This was what he said in this afternoon.
If all the lecturers were like him, obviously I will enjoy my study here!!!haha.. Cheers!!

The dinner of MySA
In order to improve my English further, I decided to write an extra post today. This will be a post about the MySA dinner that I had joined just now. It isn't an interesting event though I will try my best to make it as attractive as I can.
This dinner was organized by MySA ( malaysia student association) and it was subsidized by AMBC ( Australia Malaysia Business Council ). The restaurant was situated near to china town and of course it was a Malaysian restaurant. Normally, we need to pay 15 dollars for a meal in that restaurant but with the subsidy from AMBA, we just need to pay 9 dollars!!
Naqip, Kamal, Syamil, Pian, Jien, Jeremy and I were the only guys from UniSA city east campus. Regardless of the small number of people we know, we enjoyed the delicious food provided. We had chicken wings, Hainan chickens, fish curry, roti canai and kangkong! If you want to make me happy, just treat me something that is green! haha.
People enjoyed chatting around.... The wind was blowing...... They didn't know... The dooms were coming.... May be one day they will know. But would it be too late?? We shall never know.

4th of April The Glenelg beach!!
Recently I notice that my posts are getting shorter and shorter. Hrm.. To compensate it, I will have write a LONG and most importantly WITHOUT any spelling and grammar mistakes one( Hopefully ). I think I need to be careful every time I write a post now. The mistakes I made are beyond my imagination. Thanks to Te Ying who makes me aware of my ignorance. Te Ying is currently my grammar teacher now. Her job is to correct my post and make sure my post doesn't have any grammar error. Thank you!! haha. These are the things that I have been experiencing these few days.
Friday was the day that everyone in Australia is looking forward to. The reasons? You should know. haha. For students like us. Weekends allow us to rest, to play and to finish the endless tutorials. What had i done in this lovely Friday?? It was started by a chemistry test!!! Kind of disappointing isn't it?? haha. No worries!! As the saying goes, after the bitterness comes the sweetness of life!! The first test was not really difficult. We had learned most of the knowledge during our A-levels, therefore we didn't have much problem in this test. Being careful in this test would be enough to get a high mark.
Assessments always followed by entertainments!! So did the simple assessment this time. I had my wonderful time watching the teaching of Venerable Master CK and playing DOTA with Kah Jien!! haha. The happy hours were then continued by a trip to Glenelg beach! We took a 30 minutes trem to the popular beach and we were welcomed by the heart-warming sea wind ( It is cold instead, but I still like it!! ). The sound of the waves, the singing of the seagulls, the cheerful voices of my friends, and the mesmerizing sunset calmed my heart. Everyone was totally engulfed by the beautifulness of nature. Taking picture was a necessity and don't be amazed by the number of cameras we had!! haha. Oh ya! The beaches in Pulau Redang are still the most beautiful beaches I had ever seen. Just try to experience it yourself if you have the chance to do so!
After playing, what is next?? Of course it will be a satisfying meal!! We went to the noodle house in china town and had some fabulous noodles!! haha. I was amazed by the different kinds of noodles they had!! I ordered 'shi chuan dan dan mian' and that was a good choice! The taste was nice and of course, it was filling as well ( they served a lot of noodles ). haha. Although it cost me 7 dollars, the meal gave me a really good time. haha.
If someone says boys can't chat like girls, which means boys seldom chat for a long time, I bet you will change your mind. We had a long chat in UV apartment after the enjoyable meal! Basically the chat was about the our lives and all sorts of interesting events happened among our friends. I would not write about anything about the chat here as it will be meaningless to you all. haha. What I learned from the discussion yesterday was there were indeed so many kinds of people with different opinions in this world. :P:P
Here are some pictures!! Hope you will enjoy it! Is this post long enough? Please bear with me if it isn't. haha! Cheers!!!!

2 of April Curry chicken + Hail storm = ???
There were two special things happened today!!! Haha. It may seem normal to you. But indeed, it is a nice day for me!! haha.
We had curry chicken today!!! The delicious dish was cooked by the professional in UV apartment again. Haha. It makes me miss the tasty curry vegetables by my mom!!! On the other hand, I just found out that many people still haven't tried curry vegetables before. -.- More surprisingly, they never heard of it. haha. I would ask my mom to cook it for you all if one day you manage to visit me in Tampin!! haha.
Before the enjoyable dinner, we were amazed by the Hail storm!! haha That was the first time i experienced a hail storm. It was ice dropping from the sky instead of snow but we still enjoyed it anyway. The scenery was fantastic and i feel regretful as my camera wasn't with me. If It is I will probably capture a astonishing video!! haha.
These few days we were puzzled by the endless tutorial and test.. Please give me luck!! haha. Here are some pictures about the hail storm and curry chicken!! Yummy!!

1st of April Learning connection here i come!!!
Haha.. I will attend an english course soon!! Guess what!! It is totally free. The course is provided by the Uni to push up our english level before we face any troubles during the third year which requires a lot of language skills.. I am quite happy to enrol in it. It gives me the opportunity to improve my english.. I have so many grammar mistakes in both oral and writing. This will be a good chance to wipe off all the errors.
Basically, we need to engage in the course if we fail the test given by the Uni for communication in health. It is to test our english competency and to determine whether we need help in the language especially for international students. Even if we fail it, it will not affect our credits.. haha. So this will be a great chance for me. However, I am worried that this course is not efficient enough to improve my english up to the standard required in such a short time. Anyway, I will try my best!! haha.
For those who failed like me ( almost 70 percent of us ). Let's enjoy the course!! haha. For those who passed, congrats!!!!!

28th of March Lord Mayor's party!!
Today we went to a special party organised by the lord Mayor to meet the international students. This occasion will be held annually and this is the first time we joined it!! The party was held in the town hall!! The building is a remarkable building in the centre of the city. It is a hall with a tower clock!! So unique.. haha.
That was the time to wear the blazer again!!! Although it seems like we were exaggerating, I felt lucky that we had done it so. We enjoyed taking lots of pictures there with our blazer!! haha. ( This time my forgetful syndrome came again.. Please forgive me my friends, I was rushing...T.T ) Fortunately chuen loo and others brought their camera!! haha. It was really fun shooting some beautiful photos with all the handsome boys and pretty girls!!!
Besides that, I saw and touched koalas for the first time there!!!!! The people from the zoo brought two koalas and we are allowed to take photos and touch them. They are so cute!!!! Their face will always be the same. Their eye lids will always half open.. haha. There were lots of people enjoying themselves chatting in the hall. In the invitation email, it stated there 'dinner is provided' however, I couldn't get even one piece of sandwich!! Obviously, the people outnumbered the food provided!! haha.
Another special thing happened on me. I was interviewed by a reporter from the china press in SA. The interview was conducted by using Mandarin! I will call it a special thing for me as I never interviewed by a reporter before. Although it was just a brief interview, I feel satisfied enough!! haha. Thanks to the reporter lady!! She asked me some question like 'How long have you been here?' 'How you find Adelaide?' 'Is it different from what you have imagined before you came here?' 'What will you do here and what will you bring back to your home country?' haha. Luckily she asked me in mandarin. If it was in English, I would have said nothing much. hahaha.
I enjoyed this event much!! Hope the next meeting with Mayor will be a good one as well. haha. Thanks mayor!! For giving me such a good chance to relax and have some fun!!! Oh. The photos.... I will post some of it here when I get it from my friends. I might post some of them in my friendster If it is too much to be posted here. Hope you enjoy this post!!!

Do you meet this condition before?? I think you have!! haha.
I have bio tutorial, chem tutorial, math tutorial waiting for me and I need to revise for the coming test next week... However, I have been doing nothing since one hour ago!!! I feel tired doing all the tutorials... I feel lazy to read as well ( It will be useless though as I really cannot concentrate in this state ). So what I have been doing is just surfing the internet and waiting for the time to pass... I don't really wish to sleep early as well because it will give me a feeling that I am wasting my time. :P:P Indeed, I am wasting my time now... This coming weekend will seriously be a busy one for me. There will be tons of tutorials and revision to be done... I must strive hard!!
May I find the way to do everything smoothly... AMTF..

26 of march A normal day..
People says it is best thing when nothing happens! haha. I agree with that. My life in adelaide is quite nice. I am getting used to the life and what I need to improve now is my carelessness and the of course the study!! haha. The carelessness really troubles me very much. Huh. I must do something to suppress it as possible.. These few days was a peaceful days for me.. Although sometimes I am troubled by some problems. I manage to solve it with the aid of my precious teacher!! hahaha. Really feel lucky that I have such a good teacher. :P:P
I have been missing the songs by 山脚下男孩 for a long time. For this moment I can't find any download link. I wish to have a full collection of it. Hope somebody can help me. ( I know the chances is very slim. ) 萤火虫，童年颂，月亮圆，kita anak Malaysia. For those who doesn't know who are them, please go to http://shirlexia.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/2006/01/post_1.html
I found this when i am searching for the songs.. Haha.. She really knows the boys well!!
Hey guys, the songs by Ah niu is not bad as well. I like his songs because their songs are pure and simple yet meaningful. Furthermore, the old singers from malaysia are the best singer I ever met. Don't only listen to the melody while you are listening music. Feel it and understand its lyrics!! haha. You might miss malaysia after you listen to their songs!

23 of march the late post..
I have been procrastinating and slugging for a few days.. And I shall add something to this blog in order to bond my readers.. haha... Here are the activities I had done today!!
Early in the morning. I went to jogging again along torrens river. The only exercise i can do here is jogging.. So basically I will jog with my friends when i have time! Both my friends and I love to jog but our reasons are different. I love to jog because while jogging I don't have to think of anything.. All I have to do is to concentrate on my steps or enjoy the scenery around me. I like torrens river. There are a lot of ducks and trees there!! I love nature as the natural things is the most beautiful things in the world. For my friends. They love to jog because jogging can keep their body fit. Erm.. This is what the girls like anyway. haha..
After jogging, I took a shower at UV apartment ( LIMONGWONG residence ) and joined the BBQ organised by Masca SA in torrens river again. haha. Australians like BBQ and they often organise a BBQ so that we will have the chance to see each other and know each other well. Although we are Malaysians, well, we are in AUS now. So we must follow the aussie culture. haha. I had two pieces of chicken and two hotdogs there!! What a nice meal! During the BBQ, two police came and distributed some easter eggs to us!! Thank you policeman and policewomen!! We like the chocolates so much. Happy easter day!! We had fun taking picture with the police anyway. haha.
Okay, after that is the time for me to have some shoppings... A round 1 o'clock Kah Jien and 1 went to Ikea ( pronounced as A~I~K~I~A here ). Except for the difference in pronouncing the word, everything is almost the same like Malaysia IKEA. The show rooms. The style. All are similar to the IKEA I had seen before. Thus it gave me a feeling that I was in KL again!! haha. The purpose of us going to IKEA is to find a study table and a study lamp. Fortunately, we managed to get the things that we require.
We actually went back to our apartment by taxi this time. I think you know the reason.. :P:P The taxi here is quite different with the cab in Malaysia. The car used is better ( Mishubishi or Camry ) and the driver can find a business by using the info shown by one machine. For example, when you call the taxi center for taxi service, the center will send the info ( where are you waiting and the address ) to the nearest taxi. Moreover, if the driver is new, you may find a GPS navigator on the taxi that helps him to find the direction. haha. Like the Indian taxi driver today.. He has been here for three months only. He bought a GPS to make his life easier as he is new to the job.
Lastly, we went to UV again to have our dinner. We had Bah Kut Teh today!! haha. Although the test wasn't really like my mother's cooking, I feel satisfied with it!! Thanks hooi lie, for the superb idea!! haha. And when I was back to my unit.. I felt so tired.. I almost fall asleep in the bus this morning.. I will have rest after this.. haha.. Thats all for today, hope you enjoy the post and I will post some photos related to today's activities next time. ( sorry.. I am really tired and lazy now. ) C ya!!

The dishes..
Haha... See the dishes.. So nice!! haha. This is my dinner today. Soup by me.. Others by jien..
20th of march.. A new handphone. But I did a stupid thing.. haha
I got a new handphone yesterday!! The model is Nokia E65. You must be wondering how can I get a free phone. It is simple. All I need to do is sign a contract with 3 company then I can get a new phone in condition that I must use 3 for the following two years. haha. Sounds good isn't it?? I am satisfied with that phone as I never have this kind of sophisticated phone before. :P:P. I will take good care of it. However, I still feel sympathy for my old phone. It had been serving me for about two years and now it is forced to rest. Sorry Nokia 6020! Rest well and don't worry. Maybe you will find a good owner. Either it is my dad or someone else!! haha.
Guess what. I did a silly thing today. As usual, thursday is my practical day so I will have all the practical classes today. Before I left my unit in this morning, I took out all the books from my beg ( I don't need it as I only have one lecture today.) to make my life easier. Without noticing anything was wrong, I just headed to my Uni to start my lovely day. However, when the practical was about to start, I can't found my practical manual in the lab. ( we will always leave our lab manual in the lab so that we won't forget to bring it next time. ) The first thought came to me was... OMG, I brought back the book last week and I had took it out from my beg this morning!! Haiz.. So I was just asked for help from the demonstators and receive some ' lecture ' from them. Sorry sir.. and I promise I won't do it again!!
That is Yi Hong.. The Dai Tao Ha ( 大头虾 or careless person) I had this bad habits since I was young.. Luckily I manage to subdue this habits after some training.. Now it has came back to me and I will try my best to eliminate the bad habits!! Gambateh to myself!!
When I was down... The encouragement from the people beside me will soothe me. Therefore I told myself. Don't you ever try to give up as those people behind you will never let you. I have learnt how to live in this world. Only three words. Never give up!!
