My Life as a Barbarian

Drowning in work and negativities.

2010-05-17T14:38:00.003+10:00

I haven't been able to get good sleeps. Every night i try to go to bed but there is a feeling of nervousness and anxiety and i keep waking up to that. Its been terrible and i feel very tired. I can't get good uninterruptted rest and i think its really bad for me. I know this is ending in 2 weeks but thats the problem. I dun have good experimental conclusion, i dun think i can get a good thesis grade out of it. I feel like my thesis is as fucked as it can get. No doubt my group ppl tells me its ok as its part of science experimental research. But i feel that its not a good enough project to gimme a first class. Please give me the strength and courage to continue to finish my honours. I need a miracle to produce a first class.

I feel like shit!!~~

2010-04-12T17:01:00.002+10:00

This 2 weeks have been hellish for me.. I mean i asked for it as well coz i didn't do more in advance and thus had to pay the price.

I had to give a presentation and submit a assignment on the same monday. The assignment was worth 25 percent of a 2 unit module and the presentation is not worth any grade but just to let everyone know that work is being done. So which one would you concentrate on? But are equally important. And i gave more attention to the assignment and as a result gave a lousy standard to the presentation. I really feel like shit coz its like such a low standard and even my boss wasn't pleased. I know that i still have some time but not a lot of time.

I hope this is a wake up call and i will find the strength to pick up where i fall. I had so little sleep that i'm no longer feeling tired anymore. But yet I find no strength to pick myself up. Perhaps i need you to lend me ur strength.

Weekend is over in a flash.....

2010-03-28T15:42:00.004+10:00

The weekend is finally here and going to be over soon as i typed. Hahahah.. Its such a lovely feeling getting nearer to the end of the week cause i can get to play, relax more and hang out more with my friends. But sadly, it only last for only a like 2 days. Well, i suppose i'm too lazy la.. hahah..

Went down to goldcoast yesterday to "surprise" junhui for her birthday but we didn't get to eat at amimoto as it was all packed. Tired to male a reservation earlier but the onli thing the girl knows what to say is,

Me: Hi, i would like to make a reservation for 15 people tonight. Are you guys available?
Jap girl: Hi, sorry... Full....
Me: Oh ok, but we can wait and maybe you guys can arrange tables outside?
Jap girl: yes, yes, yes.....
Me: erm... so is that a confirmation?
Jap girl: yes, yes, yes.....
Me: So is it ok if we arrive at about say 630-645?
Jap girl: yes, yes, yes.....ok... bye........

And when we arrive there, its all packed and they couldn't provide any space. Apparently they dun understand english very well. As a result, went to eat ramen instead. Pretty decent place with quite good soup stock. Worth a second visit.:) We charlie mike to junhui's house later as coincidentally nobody was home. hahah... Her house's pretty hugh and pretty as well. But was really happy to see lego. Its been a while since i last played with him. :D

.
.
.
.

Crashing back to reality tomorrow,it'll be harsh as there's always never-ending work and experiments to conduct. At least its good to keep my mind from thinking too much i guess..

I have an exam in my honours year and how stupid can it get. I mean, its so time consuming, the course coordinator obviously knows honours is not easy but yet provides an exam for us. But the point is that i really hate exams. Hope all these nonsense will be over soon.

.
.
.
.
I'm thinking, if it is worth for all the thoughts and feelings even though you know its impossible.

come on...

2010-03-21T23:55:00.002+10:00

i want to start working... i can't wait to finish my honors and go back to singapore and start my new phase of life. Please lend me some motivations and strength and whatever anyone can find to help me finish my honors. Its becoming torturous...

I think.......

2010-03-07T12:34:00.001+10:00

好人难做。。。。shall mind my own business and just care about those who appreciates it.

Last day of CNY dinner. Motivations

2010-02-28T23:42:00.004+10:00

Its the last day of chinese new year and we celebrated it in brissy delightful fashion, steamboat. We kinda had small dishes but managed to finish most of our food except for the vege. It wasn't splendid top class standard but i think for me i really enjoy the company of my brissy friends taking their time off doing their work or from their cosy house to gather at our place. I think it means alot to me as i didn't manage to go back home to celebrate with my family and my friends being here, are part of my brissy family.

So many things have happened within such short period of time and I'm thankful that I've made such wonderful friends and I also have marvelous housemates this sem. Even its the last day of CNY, I still look forward to gatherings with them in the very near future. We dun really have alot of time left in brisbane too.. Just 3 more months... I'll make full use of this time to do things s i won't regret.

3 more months to graduation.. In work wise, I think i'm still got some more pushing to do. I'm so motivated now and i know that things will work out if i push even harder. I'm all out for 1st class!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~ ARHOOO!!!!~~~~

I feel tt.....

2010-02-23T15:12:00.003+10:00

How should i put this... I think i've gotten over things and will thus far move on with life. :) Had a chat with a good friend and realized that things happen so lesson could be learn whether good or bad. So after the lesson we just have to move on and embrace the future. :)

I will pursuit whichever is best for me and won't hold back.

Relieved..

2010-02-22T12:09:00.003+10:00

Things are looking more lively in brissy now tt my house's packed with the supposed strength. The house's dynamics are not too shabby and i think its going to be quite a good stay ahead. :) Just glad that there are people that i can complain to and share stuff with. Felt relieved and motivated.. Perhaps i need people to provide me with the motivations and strength i need to work even harder... hahah.. weird but yea..Alrights.... Back to work...

.....

2010-02-16T23:46:00.002+10:00

I dunno how to express my mixed feelings.... Its suppose to be a joyous period for cny. But all seems to not be working out for me. It feels so much to take it on alone. I know I'm not in the worst senarios amongst my peers. But it's really getting to me..

random thoughts...

2010-02-08T15:34:00.002+10:00

Its been a while now...Anyhow, these few days or rather, weeks have been torturous for me. Labs not going well, experimental faults and failures, house moving, being "alone" in australia now that my hsemate have gone too.

I recently moved to mitre street and its quite a good place to stay really. Its just that i have quite a bit of things to go around and moving that is really tiring. Clearing the depper house should be listed as one of the milestone i achieved in my entire lifetime. The amount of rubbish created and left behind is indescribable. haha.. but at last, with the help of Nelson, Junhui and especially Faith, we manage to clear out most of the stuff. Of course there are still stuff lying around for instance the carpet and some racks here and there as I blog. Too much of a hassle clear, not even talking about cleaning.

When the cleaners i engaged come to look at the hse, was kinda embarrassed by the mess i created and they needed to clear. and they told me it would take forever to clear up the hse, charging me $120 more!!! omg.. hai~~ But still have to do it.

I hope this saga of depper will be over soon although i know the agent is gonna pick on things like the hole in the wall, bla bla bla and deduct things from me. Now i just dread to go back and pack the remaining things. So demoralising.

Lab hasn't been kind to me as well. Keep screwing up my experiments and samples are so limited now thanks to a certain someone. ha...

Whatever it is, i only got 3 more months and i ain't got time to waste on non-priority stuff. Oh well, there's still a long battle ahead to fight. till then.

Nice

2010-01-02T20:50:00.000+10:00

Beautiful movie, beautiful song...

Practice.

2009-12-23T09:31:00.000+10:00

Guess this is what i'm going practice this summer.. hahahha!

so goods..

2009-12-18T17:40:00.001+10:00

to go or not to go.....

2009-11-30T12:39:00.002+10:00

I think i shouldn't be too hopeful but yet i wanna be.. Just by having small expectations sometimes do get you down when not met. But by not having a aim sorts of like get u no where. But then, do we do something or go for something when we actually know tt its almost impossible but yet again may bring you small sparkles of work, job, love, life satisfaction?

I wonder.....

random...

2009-11-30T09:54:00.002+10:00

things have certainly slowed down these few days and life has been treating me slightly better

I've received new directions and better supervision for my project and thus have an even clear motivation to strive for the things i need.

Had been spending perhaps too much money these few days as well by not cooking and really feel bad about it. Must start to cook nowadays to cut cost already. Too much a pampered life will lead to bo liu!

Not entirely satisfied with my honours results thus far but well, its over and now i've gotta strive for greater heights and achieve higher aims to pull me back into track. I promise i will put in even more effort than i use to.

Everybody is going back for summer leaving only a few behind. It might not be a bad thing if i think of it in another point of view. Ah well, I've just gotta look hard into reality. Nobody is gonna be with u forever. You've just gotta suck it up sometimes.

Lost soul....

2009-11-24T18:53:00.003+10:00

I guess i too have my emo days....I FEEL LIKE SHITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

House inspection, selling of car, looking for new house, cleaning of house, trying to work hard on honours.

Failing house inspection, fail selling of car, failed in fighting for house, failed on scoring for research proposal.

How bad can life treat me sometimes??? Who says life is easy overseas??? Who says that its alright to fall down???

I feel so sad, dejected, lonely, unappreciated, and just so tired from everything....

Hell weeks and hard work paid off...

2009-11-05T23:40:00.003+10:00

Finally got myself settled down to pen down some thoughts for my blog these few weeks.

Well, these few weeks had been a horrible with many super late nights and nightmares with the thesis and presentations

In my thesis period, had so much amendments when i first got the stuff back from Bob. Felt so disappointed in my scientific ability but I must really say i'm lucky to have chosen bob as my supervisor. He edited my work to a scientific analysis.

Had my presentation today and was glad that it went quite well although had minor hiccups with my Q and A. Happy with my practice and also hard work paid off. during my presentation, i think i had made an offensive finger sign (opposite view of *twist*, it actually means "COME FUCK ME to french)... omg.!!! lol..no wonder my lab group people and gabs were laughing away... hahah... but it should be alright la..

Hope tt i can continue this standard and make it pass through the finishing line with a bang.

Now just gonna wait for feedbacks from the academics anf see how it goes... Fingers and legs crossed.

How strong can ironman get????

2009-10-07T22:39:00.004+10:00

How strong can man get.... I'm working in my office with mr ironman... He suddenly chipped off the wood from the table which is held together by nails. I was then astonished by his strength when he just uses brute strength to "push" the nail into the table.

p.s I usually use hammer to hammer nails. Ironman uses fingers... His finger also iron la...

Have a good laugh...:)

2009-10-07T10:14:00.000+10:00

Mr iron and venturing into goldcoast....

2009-10-06T13:02:00.002+10:00

Sunday,

The motto for tt day is.... "DRIVE ONLY"..... after dropping mr iron at the drop off zone, i did a dirt track course out all the way to the main road as it was the only way out... Shiok only....hahah..... My journey started with ventured into goldcoast without knowing anything about tt place. So, the time was like maybe 0530am? I went to surfer's paradise, Mt tambourine, west field, pacific paradise, pass by movie, dream, sea world, detour at henlensvale, broadbeach, then end up at habourtown for brunch.

Did abit of work as lucky enough to find power point and free wifi.;) Went to look around before heading to pick mr iron man at the bay. Was just in time to meet him at his last lap at the turning point. I suddenly felt the sudden urge to take part in triathelons as well. The main inspiration was tt i saw ppl of all shapes, sizes and ages coming together to enjoy the event. Not for any thing other than personal achievement. Family and friends cheer the participants on with passion. It was an rather inspirational moment i thot to myself. Its a priceless feeling tt the athletes get at the end of the race and i want tt feeling too. :)

I'll probably try one of the triathlons in time to come. I feel that i could do it. Anyhow, We adjourn to sunnybanks for him to replenish his energy with little hongkong... Yes... "Lau mian" again..:)

This was the highlight of the week.:)

Sat drive to caplyso bay

2009-10-06T11:35:00.002+10:00

Well, here goes...

To date, the most exciting event tt i can remember ever since i last blogged was the latest saturday and sunday.

Saturday had breakfast with depper gang, Hairul and Ah Chew and corqutte.( dunno how to spell la..) Then drove off to goldcoast to help mr ironman put his bike for sunday's event. It was quite a nice drive along the highway until a jam occured. Then mr ironman sai kun abit coz its like gonna be late. worst still, suddenly the beeper went off from his car. The jeep "OVERHEAT" HAHAHHAHAHA.... How exciting. Later found out that maybe its because of insufficient engine oil.. Mangaed to waste another 20 mins just by letting things cool. After continuing the journey, mr ironman decided to turn on the heater to full blast to play with me. Then I went,

Me: "Na bei, si bei hot la!"
Ironman: "no choice la... release heat" (cheeky smile)
Me: "ok... u want to play right...."

I was the driver, so i had the power to lock the windows. Then i wind up all the windows with the heater full blast,...... IN A TRAFFIC JAM.... temperature outside was like 33 degrees... Both of us later sweat like pig la..hahahhahah... at last he say he buay ta han alr.. loss too much fluid..hahha...

Emptiness.........

2009-09-25T14:43:00.003+10:00

Wahaha.. Its been a while since the last entry...

I dunno why I just feel very empty and unmotivated these few days to do any work. All progress is so slow and stagnant. Feels tt I've lost a certain driving force this sem. What is it tt is stirring my emotions, i dunno.

Sitting at the library seems to be such a meaningless session and i yearn to just go home and shut off. Maybe because its friday but it might be just an excuse.

Its just waiting for time to past and shit to boil, but i hate tt kinda feeling. I want to feel and be happy again. Guess hanging out with friends is probably the best way but we all need to do work and stuff.

I really have to snap out of this shit.

photoshoot....

2009-09-18T13:30:00.002+10:00

Too happening within a day..

2009-09-17T22:16:00.002+10:00

Experiments, 4 treasures, city, dog parks, Indroo, Ice cream... woah... Too happening alr..

Clowning...

Rocky wong

2009-09-16T22:14:00.000+10:00

Fireworks

2009-09-16T16:31:00.005+10:00

Laptop crashed and motherboard got burnt... so there was no entries.

Anyway, these few days, the highlight was the fireworks festival last sat.

Night Activity...Total randomness...

2009-09-11T02:22:00.004+10:00

Tonight was nasi briyani again for dinner. was suppose to just go for a night drink with company but ended up with an impromptu ktv session for 2 hours. hahahah.. But it was really fun.:) Happy to have done it and enjoyed the company la. Hope this would never cease to stop.

Surprised party and.... Rocky??!!

2009-09-09T22:32:00.003+10:00

Rocky paid a visit to depper and boy was he good.. We were all in aww of his power.Unfortunately, Rocky cannot be revealed because of the big video file, just have to wait for a upload on a more free day.

Today's my birthday and had a surpised from my group of friends from brisssy.. Thanks everyone for the lovely effort!!! It's really a pleasant scene where my good friends come together to celebrate with me.

It first started with bryan asking me out for coffee with veron mastering the whole act behind the scene. People from all over the shop came over and hid in the garage, waiting for me to go in before springing into birthday songs. :) Unforgettable scene. Thanks everyone!

Rare appearance of veron...

2009-09-08T22:00:00.003+10:00

Had dinner at station road and boy I think I took the largest serving of all which CK argued tt all has equal weight according to his "weighing scale". Not sure whether is it a blessing or what. hahaha.... Usually have 六分饱 but think tonight have till 百分饱. We have apple crumble for dessert which was good stuff. :) Thumbs up.!

Came home and had a guitar session. Gabriel or rather veron was somehow invited out by the presence of beer, said tt my guitar lousy and bryan's singing sucks la... hahaha... so funny...

Life is full of irony and challenges.

2009-09-08T10:15:00.003+10:00

Its been a while since i last blogged. Guess i felt lazy.oops...

Had a slow but steady past week and had many many many thots and stuff which wasn't that pleasent. People dun treasure the things they have till the day when they lose it. Its such a irony. But, I've past that stage alr.

Had badminton sessions on saturdays and monday as usual. WOnder how long can this session last. I might be well playing it for the last time yesterday. So sad la...

And i just realised that I'll be here all alone for the summer. That is just so depressing. Everyone is leaving already but and i'm the only 1 staying. Must therefore make full use of time here with all my friends before they all go.

Took up a challenge from "ba chai" to whip up carrot cake.. I'll DO it!!!! and I'll succeed sometime this week!!!!!

Supper and Souvenir

2009-09-01T00:08:00.005+10:00

Had a whole day of messing around with my honors work. Didn't attend the seminar today and no experiments done. Hai.... Feel so guilty.

Night badminton ta'ader form sia.. Played so lousy as compared to sat. Nevetheless, had fun still..enjoying a bowl of

Was "sweeping" the carpet with the fur brush and guess what souvenir we have in our garage??

p.s we love Lego!!!!

How true is this...

2009-08-30T15:19:00.000+10:00

Love the weekends

2009-08-30T15:03:00.004+10:00

Plans for saturdays...

In the morning, i try to be......

Then after tt, take a rest before attempting to become....

Before transiting to....

We go for healthy exercising.....

Lastly......

healthy life with sore ankle!!

2009-08-29T10:07:00.007+10:00

Highlight of the day was simply to just have dinner out with friends. Simple but very enjoyable. Came home to do some work and had an "early night". IPPT tml...wahahha...

But my ankle sores to the max la. Think i shouldn't have aggravated it. But its too late now.. Felt the pain after standing broad jump. Arrgh... But nevertheless, I will do it again next week. :)

Shijian having a cold... Awww... Poor thing...

I believe in together gether!!!!!!!!!

Baby- no erm...... puppysitting!!!

2009-08-27T20:05:00.010+10:00

Today's highlight was puppysitting. Hee...

Now i realized dogs have just so much energy to give and all they need is 10mins of rest before they are ready for next activity. Lego and Russell are just fine examples.

This was the peaceful moment i had in the afternoon... So nice....

Price of Russell: $350

Price of Lego: $600

Dog resting after whole day of wrestle..... precious and priceless..

For everything else, there is mastercards. ;)

Hoping could see Lego more often for he's just so lovable. haa...

In summary, lets take a look at who is the more mischievous one...

Chicken rice, wee wee....

2009-08-26T20:49:00.004+10:00

Had chicken rice for dinner for 7 people... Very successful this time round. :) Thanks to bryans "gunpowder" for the chicken. :)

Had to go back to lab this evening to continue the experiments. Damn, this stupid experiment is costing me 3 weeks just for extraction. Cannot afford to make any mistakes on my real sample. Half way through the procedure, i had to refill the beakers with distilled water...

Holding the beakers with my one hand, 1 switched on the tap with the other and water came gushing out of the rubber tubbing attached to the pipe.

Mishie: Hey... tt looks like a little boy's wee wee...
Me: Hmmm..... How do you know it looks like tt??

After tt, the rubber tube slipped out of my hand as i was trying to adjust the flowrate.

Mishie excited: WEE WEE OUT OF HAND!!!!!! HAHAH!!!!
Me: You are enjoying this hey...

Kokiens, nicknames, funny times

2009-08-25T20:57:00.007+10:00

Today's main dish was yee mee..... Hee... Its been while since i had this myself.. Finally found the secret to the dish... Whahahha....

After dinner was coffee at milton... Serves all types of chocolates la.. Had a discussion and depper boys have new names:

Bryan: My name is 素-怕-咽-刀， Bryan 素-怕-咽-刀
Gabriel：My name is 素-怕-soy-蓝-叫， Gabriel 素-怕-soy-蓝-叫
John：My name is 素-怕-体-可， John 素-怕-体-可

During dinner learnt some kokien as well, will elaborate by recording it next time...

such funny conversations makes my day. :)

Boring day... BUT useful recovery

2009-08-24T21:32:00.005+10:00

Today had been resting at home and working from home... Guilty of not completing my experiment although should have been done last week... Ooops...hahah..

Today's highlight would be..........

reading, and reading and typing and napping....hahhaha... I guess my ankle still need some time for recovery...

For more laughter at night, check out bryan's blog...

Brissy Half marathon

2009-08-23T11:09:00.004+10:00

Wahahah... Haven't been updating my post... Oops...

But on hindsight, there wasn't really much of a highlight to bring out for the past few days....

Today was something special... Ran 21km in brisbane and it was a really refreshing experience but had to suffer the consequences of having a swollen ankle and sore legs.. But it really felt good to have a run.

The gift after the run includes a cap and a key chain... The shirt had to be purchased though... Think they're on a really tight budget this year.... Anyway, happy to have cleared this. :)

Will try to get some rest and do some work liao.

Pork Chop.... Choices....

2009-08-19T21:27:00.001+10:00

Having a Tooheys extra dry as I write today's entry.

Came home and went groceries with anders at Toowong.. I drove again.. hahha.. how exciting.. Came home with today's special menu.. Western..

Consisted of 1 x sunny side up egg
1 x middle bacon
1 x serving of caramelised onion
1 x pork chop tenderised
free scoops of mashed potatoes
2 packet of sauce..

Bryan loved the sauce and potatoes.... So happy to cook and people enjoy ur dishes la..
Now I understand why father always cook no matter how tired he is from work.... I guess its the satisfaction tt you receive at the end of the day. Must appreciate my dad's cooking more often in future.

In process of cooking, I broke a plate and got hot oil on my face!!! haiyo.. Like a pain la...Lucky closed my eyes otherwise got fried eyeballs to eat liao...

Quote of the day:

In life, there is always an option. Whether right or wrong, there is still choice to make. So make your choice wisely as it affects the lives of people around you.

Briyani

2009-08-18T21:22:00.007+10:00

Finding hard to get highlight nowadays... think because we live in a routine world and being a typical singaporean, we go through motions which is a bad thing for our souls and mind.

I wanna find something everyday that makes live interesting and live it to the fullest. "Everything must try" quoted from Bryan.

Today's dinner was nasi briyani... wa.. its been long since i tasted it and decided to try it.... Turn out pretty well though... Happy that all enjoys the dinner...:)

Its been a month since sch starts. Everyone is starting to get busy. Gabs is working hard on his thesis and coursework, Bryan is working hard and finding job, Anders working hard on his body and work... I guess I need to keep up..

Russell is just such a cutie dog... Although frquently wees in the living room, but he just makes you forgive him by the look of his eyes...

明天会更好

2009-08-16T00:47:00.006+10:00

Went for a morning swim from the usual saturday routine. Swimming, breakfast at 四宝， dog park for a run in future, and badminton at night. Saturday shall be a sports day.

After badminton went to cyber for a meal and then came home liao. Busy but fulfilling at the end of the day.

My heart still not stable but I know i must be strong for I'm pillar for myself.

Was talking to gabriel and bryan at the coffee session. "what's the strongest and weakest traits or points that you think you possess." and what is my mission in life... I have lifed for 23 years and think its time i ponder about it... I'm still finding my strength and weakness. Perhaps you can help me identify them....

Karen had a run that didn't went so well... felt bad for her as she takes pride and feels for the things that she do. However, stupid cock up organizers didn't manage the events properly. Well, shit happens and we must know how to learn from lessons. Many more runs to go and hope the rest is well and smooth. Didn't get a chance to talk to her as i was out. Forgot to switch off my computer and she thot i was there but she talked to nobody. Ahyo... series of unfortunate events there. Nevertheless, I seemed to be rather undeterred by it. I think it might be a new confidence that she gives me and I learn to accept and cherish. Yes of course there is bumps and I might be kinda stubborn but feel its not the same as before.... good or bad still too early to say.... Well, 只可以希望明天会个更好。。。 Have a good rest Karen! You deserve it...

The Friday is here but unsorted

2009-08-15T02:46:00.003+10:00

Today's highlight would be the day itself.... So happy that its finally a Friday and looked forward to weekend as there is so much I would wanna do... Badminton sessions, calling Karen and home, cooking, relaxing, etc....

Today was supposed to go cit but due to unfortunate events can't make it.... Anyhow, went on to queensland transport to get license thingy done thanks to Gabriel, Bryan and Jon for the assistance. After sorting it out, went home and read some articles before dining home with spaghetti.

Oh ya was playing with Russell too when i got home. He's such a sore loser. When he can't reach me when doing catching, he barks and whine... hahha... so adorable at the sight of him though.

Never thought I would go out but in the end went with housemates to Jon place till 2am... Like a tiring la... Won some rounds in the end and paid for the expenses this week.. Phew... Going to be broke soon... Feeling a little upset as I've yet to sort things out with Karen.... Not having good sleeps whenever all these happens....Feel vexed when I think about it... Hope iI can sort it out soon.

Surprised...

2009-08-15T02:30:00.002+10:00

Thursday's main event was just out for a simple dinner with Yenwei at cybercity with a gang of say 20 people??? Can't remember. Its been exactly a year since I met with Wee Hong and Bryan since her last birthday.

After dinner came home and had chance to skype with Karen but unfortunately an misunderstanding occured with Karen. I was talking in a joking fashion to a friend about getting gifts was like "compulsory" or not would later "kena"... Karen had then looked at the message and interpreted it as getting something for her was like compelling myself to do things against my wish which wasn't what I meant. :(

It was meant to be just a general joking comment from guys but apparently got caught for that. Hope she'll cool down soon...

Day at Ekka.......

The highlight of the day would be going to brisbane ekka. Woke up early at 0800hr for ekka and went for train ride there courtewsy of Bryan's effort to send us to the station. took our own sweet time and by the time reach there, Reach there liao spent quite a bit of time to rally up with some friends and off veron and I went to tour around.. To sum it up in a few words, its a 超级大的 pasa malam and funfair... Went into the Dog's pavilion and it really made me a happy man looking at all those beautiful dogs....

My favourite..............
"看什么看！”

After the dog segment, went on to view the stuff that gabs more interested in... LOL!!!

Had some time to chill out went for some games... man i spent $50 for playing the games la... Played the stupid hammer and nearly got the prize but just couldn't get the bell... so addicted la... Decided to walk away instead of going in for more.. Felt like a sucker for losing so much money on a game........ hahaha..

After ekka was back to school to conduct some more experiments with help of Bryan again.... Simple stuff and boy can bryan "suck". hee... you knows what I mean.... anyhow, came home and took an extremely powerful nap... Opps... Had coffee with gang after dinner....

Shijian took home Yoshi and Russel eager to meet him...

Tml is yenwei's birthday and so later will probably drop by for a "surprise party"... School starts again tml... but I look forward to talking to Karen nearer the weekends again... :)

Lesson of the day...

2009-08-11T11:59:00.005+10:00

Jus spoke to moi supervisor and had a good chat on where my project is heading and its progress. I now have a very good picture on what it is and is so motivated to move ahead and get everything done.

Bob also mention about giving me salary!!! Woohoo!!! not much but enough for a weekly's groceries. I'm quite blessed to be in this group thanks to a special someone. If you're close to me you'll know who is tt... hahahahha......

On the later part, asked him about the position for yenwei but sadly says that our group is currently full and is not capable of taking in anymore people. So gotta tell her the ugly truth.... Hai.. Was hoping tt we could work in the same group, tt would be more fun.

Moral of the story: Information and knowledge is key to success and powerful enough to be a driving force for a person. Give the soldier good breakdown and information, he'll be able to tackle any scenario.

I could feel the engine...

Today was the start of the week and i begin to feel that my engine for work has started to warm up which is a good thing. Drew out a time line for the year of honours and realised that I hadn't got much time to play around liao. Should really pull up my socks if i want the end results. I have got a clearly picture on what I'm going to do for my project out of a sudden.... Guess daily reflection does helps.. hahah..

The higlight of the day was talking to Karen during office hours. Its nice to know that she doesn't have to go to work and could just spend some quality time communicating to her :)

Evolution of saiyan from depper

2009-08-09T15:35:00.015+10:00

Was inspired this morning to have woken up and see "GOKU" (main character frm dragonball) in front of me. Thus the taking of pictures and replicating it with the legendary childhood hero. hahaha...

Well after the transformation, the battle beings with an assault to an earthling....
He resorts to dirty tricks from behind.....

Life....

2009-08-08T23:52:00.009+10:00

Today was woken up by Bryan from a talk on his phone about swimming and I jumped out of bed.... Hadn't turn out myself for quite sometime now hey..

After swimming was down in chinatown as like every saturday for a meal at 四宝. On route to lunch, had a random discussion with Bryan on relationship. How difficult and angonising to get 2 people, out of the entire world, have this opportunity to meet and be a couple this lifetime. The very fact that they could get together seems such a impossible effort and destiny. It takes so much to get them together. But it only takes one to spoil it all.

Moral of the story: Life is about knowing what you possess and cherishing what you have.

Sound so chim..... Discussion done, we went on for food. Roasted pork and duck was good but reduced all the effort put into exercising. Opps.. Lol....

Came back and had a chance to talk to Karen before she goes for running 15 KM!!! and a BBQ tonight... Must be so tiring for her... Anyhow, she seems to be into singing and I hadn't got a chance to compete with her... She's got quite a talent hey.. Muahahhahaha....

Looked forward to nighttime as it was time for badminton. Didn't sweat much as tonight's game was rather plain and is disappointed at how fast time goes. Anyhow, next game is monday. We'll see how things go then.

Happy with Karen

2009-08-08T01:47:00.004+10:00

Today was a relatively short day at work. The more interesting events only took place at night..haha

Came home at about 4 plus, cooked chicken rice. Its been long time since I did it but somehow managed to pull it off.. hahah.. Felt good that we could eat dinner together. Bring warmth to the family somehow. Anyway, after dinner had a good chat with Karen.

Its been a while since Karen and I had a good chat and I really enjoyed the time spent talking to her no doubt the conversation was kinda short lived as I need to go out. Karen had been out drinking on few occasions with colleagues. I guess this might be a good avenue for her to let her hair down and enjoy herself rather than spending time with worksheets all the time. Its nice to have friends. Not tat I dun care, its just because I treat u as a responsible adult. BUT I dun encourage or discourage drinking so long as there is a limit.

Its funny to be ask to become a "MCP" though... LOL... Anyhow, I'm really happy that I could talk to Karen so freely today. :)

Went for a late coffee session with some friends at the 3 monkeys and talked till 0130 hrs. hahaha... Usually sleep by this time liao la... But its a nice time catching up and talking cock with them. Fruitful day. Swimming and badminton tomorrow!!!

A day nearer to weekend

2009-08-06T23:40:00.005+10:00

The highlight for the day has to be a failure for the experiment conducted. Well, it was something stupid but then at least i had the rest of the day off.. heee.... Anyway, had a good horfun and a "kwey with glutinous rice". Miss the ones my mum makes. But its kinda scary when she starts she roll on making dishes.

Mum: The kwey nice?
Me: Of course nicee...............
Mum: Ok! I go make some more!!!!
Me: Great!!

Mum: How? Nice???
Me: erm... Nice!
Mum: Ok!! I go make even more!!!
Me: ...........

Thats my mum. :)

After dinner went on to an impromptu movie session at the garden city. The Ugly Truth Well, felt the the movie was hilarious but at the end of the day, it was worth some food to thoughts to 搭包 home.

Look forward to Saturdays for badminton sessions nowadays...!!!!!!

Training for life....

2009-08-06T00:10:00.001+10:00

My highlight of the day was to go training with Gabriel.

Well, training with an ironman was no easy feat at all but it was an rewarding experience at the end of the day with lots of endorphins release in me..hahah.. Took a easy think maybe 1 km run to the school's pool, swam for 1 km, and finally took a 1 km run back home.

Today is already 2nd week of school and i haven't really got a feel for my honours project. ALthough I've started to take on the experiments, just felt that it wasn't enough. Hai... Guess I'm too slack. I promise to work hard to earn my honours by next week.

Alrighty, I guess with this entry, it would mark the start of my blogging career.
