An uneventful weekend.

Feel so happie. My Internet connection is up and running again. It was down for the past two days. Seems I kenna some spyware or adware shit. Sian. Thanks to kevin, I'm finally able to get back online.

Eating my Brooklea Light Yoghurt now, together with thinking what I should prepare later for dinner. I don't know what to cook, but I do know I have to cook my spinach by today, else I will be eating expired food next week as well. Kevin advised me to eat 6 light meals a day in winter to lose weight, but I think I'm fine with eating 3 meals a day currently. The weather is getting colder....exams are nearing and my assignments are lessening. Well, that's obvious. It would suck if exams are coming and assignments are increasing.

Oh yes, I'll be spending winter in Melbourne, not going back unlike the rest of the peeps. Guess I'll be here to learn the ropes for managing the SSA's webbie from Edna. Should be idiot-proof I guess. I remembered that she wanted to have a Flash clinic.

Went to watch Pirates of the Carribean 3 yesterday with Muylip, Muylip's gf, Judith and Kevin. Really nice show and enjoyed the part where Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan exchanged their wedding vows amidst the fighting, with the unlikely chaplain of Captain Brabbarossa. Lotsa slap-stick comedy by Captain Jack Sparrows as always, and I really do hope its not the end of the runs for the 3 part series.

Show ended, went with Judith to get bubble tea. I don't really like the bubble tea here, but well, the weather was so damn cold, so I invited Judith over to my place to chat. We chatted until 2 am. Woah..abit sleepy.

Now chatting with my dad on Skype and showing him the horseriding pictures. Commented that my horse is a pony. And asking me to move to get better partners.

Whine...whine...whine? Coconut head...Boink!

Just reading the comments for my blog when I saw the comment but another anoymous person. If you "nameless" people kinda wanan diz me, at least leave you initials or something, don't leave me lying there wondering like what the fark happened, ok?

(Oh yeah, dude from SG...I don't like Xiaxue too...Wah lau. Disappointed of your comparison. Will try to add more brain stuff for ppl like you, but please follow the above guidelines k?)

Anyway, what kevin said makes sense. Main point is to keep an open mind. In layman's terms, on your radar but don't response unnecessary.

I feel so behind schedule. Wanna upload my photos but gotta finish my projects 1st. Finish projects then got exams.

What's next on the list?
1. Class test today.
2. Web 3D dues tomorrow.
3. Research paper and presentation due 2 weeks time.
4. Exams START! (3 paper.)

University life is soooo one-sided. There are always people asking for help help help, but no one wanna be there to provide help. I blacklist this kinda people.

I especially dislike it when people refer to their moms to do things. I've never asked my mom for the right to do anything, coz I believe that its my own right to do what I want. I only ask for an opinion because of respect. If I had listened to every single sentence my mom told me, I would probably end up:
(Juz for info, my mom didn't say no or reject me straight, she just plainly laughed in my face and said I'm not capable enough. Very good teaching to children I must say.)

1. I wouldn't have joined a uniform group.
2. I wouldn't have joined aikido.
3. I wouldn't have a change of personality.
4. I wouldn't have been here.
5. I wouldn't have the freedom to move about.
6. I would say, "Woof." instead of "Hi."
7. I would stare blankly at people if they try to be friendly with me coz I would only know a mother's love.
8. I would be friends with people whom I felt I had absolutely no connection with.
9. I would be alienated by the friends I have now.
10. My closest friend, kin, relative, will be my mom and mom only.
11. My life would be dead. This blog would belong to someone else.
12. I would probably listen more to Zhou Hua Jian.
13. My mom would probably that she raised a kid that is so guai..but deep down I'm already dead for years, just walking about following orders like a zombie.
14. Once I'm alone and matured, I'll just fade into the background, being so colorless, feeding off the welfare money of the government, die in some pigeonhole for the elderly , and pass on oh so lonely and go unnoticed for months, left with a rotting corpse and maggots for companions.
15. I'll probably haunt the place in the end, muttering about my unfulfilled life.

(But due to my personality, I completely ignored her and decided to take my own path, totally disregarding the path they set for me I guess. I prefer to walk with my own 2 feet, and when I look back, I don't want to see just my mother, I wanna see everyone I met in my life.)

1. I joined the national police cadet corps and got a leading role.
2. I joined the aikido organization in Singapore and got an assistance role.
3. I stopped myself from getting a split-personality disorder.
4. I started studying in RMIT and joined the SSA, got a role to play as well.
5. I walk and walk till my legs become noodles, but I still feel so shiok.
6. I say "Hi", not "Woof."
7. I can see my friends.
8. I chose my friends and they chose me.
9. I have people that care for me.
10. My closest friends, kin and relatives are around me, though not physically.
11. I love listening to Eminem. And I totally agree to what he raps.
12. My mom gets really pissed with me at times. I don't like this, but still working on it. I love you mom.
13. Once I matured, I'll still be in the mainstream living a colorful life, I would feel so alive coz my life will be different everyday, I'll give my elderly parents a good retirement life, bring my kids to visit them during the weekend, or stay with me and my wife and family in a great home, kids can listen to the grandfather stories. My siblings can rely on me, I don't need to go to the gahment for money, I want them to feature me instead, I'll be able to see my grandchildren when i grow old. And when I pass away, I'll be so happy recollecting the memories in my life and nodding that I hadn't wasted my life in some dank hole.
14. I'll smile when I meet God.

Things I regret not doing today?

Hmmm, my mind has been uneasy this week again. In Singapore, what I do was to give a call to my friend Cindy. Now I'm in Melbourne, there's no one so close to me to turn to for solace. Should I call her?

Yeah. I admit it. I miss Miss Goldfish. I wonder she knows this personal nickname I gave her. Gee. Well, now her photo frame is next to my study table, encouraging me to go on. Aww, I feel so sad and down. Just came down with a slight fever today. She's not picking up the phone.

I cringe as I open my door.

As above. anyone wanna know why?

Because the security of the Student Housing Australia(SHA) sucks. Why do I say so?

Simple. At Global House, there has been two cases of break-in so far. At Sophia House, there has been 6 cases of break-ins. Just what the hell is the property manager doing? And when the police are called, what do they say? "Probably the guy climbed in thru the window." But seriously, can you climb up a two storey window at 8pm in the evening?

I can't. And I confirm the police officer can't either.

So which Spiderman did it?

Well, If you ask me, I'll tell you how. If the freaking SHA property manager gives our keys to the general management when we need repairs to our place to come in without our permission, thats why!

Do you know?!
1. In the event your landlord wishes to sell the rights to the apartment, the agent has the right to open your door and come and go as he/she wishes.

2. When your room needs a repair, you inform them right, but if you are not at home, the repairman has the master keys from SHA to open the door and fix the problem.

3. When a previous tenant loses his/her key, what does SHA do? They replace the key, but they do not replace the lock, so if I wanna come in, I could if i was a dishonest previous tenant.

4. When you ask the property manager to inform you 1st before the repairman comes along, she tells you that the guy doesn't have the time to wait for you and will be given the key to the room to settle the problem.

5. You have a room for the reception, but where is the receptionist?

All right, you know where is the problem here????! We international students have lost our sense of privacy. Strangers are free to come and go as and when they love it. Security is advised but not promised. Not that it has been compromised, but that it is non-existent.

Rest assure that I will inform the IDP counselor about our present predictament, and hope that they will not recommend students to stay here, considering that we are like cash cows in our pens waiting to be milked.

Moo.

Wishlists...

Just got asked this question just now by Lynne. Wanted to know what I wanna do after I graduated.

Clearly I don't have a clue. What do I do? Somehow I feel like I'm standing by the side of the cliff and another to path back to where I came from. If I go down, I don't know how long its gonna take me to come right back up again. Another new path through life down under it seems. Where should I go? There are friends beckoning me to walk down the old path, and friends beckoning me to follow them on the new route...

I'll need to graduate 1st then I can say. Almost died due to "time management dues" few days ago.
Haven't being for aikido for a week. The instructor last week asked me to visit clifton hill dojo when I'm free.

I'll keep this short, still need to revise for my work.

My wish list:
1. A jacket like Jake's.
2. A new headphone.
3. Great results.
4. Better luck.
5. more daylight time.
6. money for school fees
7. money to get a DSLR. (wait long long.)
8. more harddisk space.
9. My TFN.
10. My work permit.
11. my driving licence?

So many chocolates. Lonely me.

Been looking at my box of chocolates today. Something hit me while looking. Why I bought so much? Normally people buy so much so that can share a romantic treat with their other half. But then lonely me got no other half or people to share with.

Well, though I gave some to people who appreciated it, Eg: Michelle, Janice and Daniel. Yaozong just chomped it and say he tired. My poor chocolate. Sacrificed without a thought. And he took the one I liked. Sobz.

Today's 2 lectures were really short. Dale had a headache, so MIA. I realized I can only do my Web3d attentively while in school. Aiya. Another source of headache. Fabio's lecture was damn short and more or less concluded with a project extension date of 5.5 days. Woohoo. able to concentrate on my SEF project.

Towards High Distinction if possible, Else Distinction!
(okok. Except PPIS.)

Some of the peeps in SSA really trying to be funny. I'm not interested in anyone inside the club. I'm interested in my studies (hah, yah right, studies my foot.) or rather, there's no one of particular interest to me. (fancy a bit is got lah, but then you guys won't be able to guess who. Happy guessing.)

Suddenly got so much tasks to do in the sudden reshuffling. But schoolwork comes 1st. Media and Development 2nd, Aikido and such 3rd.(Duh. Of course, if got girlfriend then something else right..?)

I found this stupid melbourne uni brochure for voluntary services in the mailbox. For community work in Melbourne. Maybe can go check it out.

Horseriding Trip and chocolate factory.

Oww...my arms and legs are hurting now.


Woke up at 7.45 to meet Pei shi at the junction to go for the horse riding and chocolate factory trip. Was late for the meeting, but when I reached the meeting place for the bus to arrive, no one was there yet. Oops! too early.

Then at 8.30, everyone had already started to arrive. Phew. And I thought that I was late. Thus at 9, all 9 of us were bundled into the van, don't know who said it was a bus though. haha.

Our 1st stop was the Chocolate Factory, which I guess myra and my younger sis would go nuts just looking at the chocolate, then decided to buy one set for Ya Qi as a gift for her birthday. I hope she liked it as she said on the sms. :P

The chocolates can be found here.

After that we actually wanted to go to a cafe for lunch, but I saw the freaking pizza was like 12 bucks for a small slice, decide to munch tibits until i saw the nearest KFC. Had wicked wings, rather yummy.

(Munching my Cherry bomb now. Shiok!)

Then we went Horse-riding. Pity those friends who wanna go but cannot make it. Missed out on alot of fun. Btw, my horse's name is Tabitha. Still cannot pronounce it. Will upload the pics later. Busy week ahead. 2 assignments dues.

Mug mug mug. Waah. Zee tell me go aim Golden Key Society.

Updated links.

Jus to note for viewers of thy blog.


I've updating my friend's Adelin's link to my blog to her website, helping her to advertise for her jewelery accessories. Better to help advertise than leave it as a broken link...

Also, Ms Cindy's blog has been resurrected yet again. Time to see what this Goldfish has been doing all these while.

Argh, my web3d work. Sian.

I'm missing something here, am I not?

Time to blog of the events in this week.

Phew. finally finished my PPIS business plan. No need to work on it anymore. And also end of my Computer Security paper. Rony had all of us wear business suits, got a borrowed suit from Ferry. looked really business-like. But I do admit that John and Rony were the most professional-looking of the lot. Had my 1st taste of green tea frappuccino. Yummy. Really loved the taste.

Friday. Had the RMIT-SSA AGM. Got about doing my photographer job. Took helluva pictures. Had lots of fun knowing more people. Went to have dinner with them and watched Spiderman 3 after that. Strained my neck watching the show. Oh yeah, and contributed to Xi Qi's Umbrella Fund...wonder has she bought her umbrella yet?

Sat. Felt so lethargic about doing my projects. Really feel like there's something missing in my life. And no thanks to the kid living upstairs. What's missing? I couldn't fathom what could be missing in my life...whats going on? Why am I feeling like this? Feel so lost.

My life's a whirl,
My memories don't thrill.
My past isn't nice,
My heart feels like ice.
My songs pierce thy broken heart,
My life falls down hard.

Sun. Spent half the day in denial again. Aaaah. Where is this anguish coming from? Wanted to do my work. But too dead to continue. Asked my neighbor to go munch ice cream with me in the cold weather. Don't want to go out. Then I wanted to eat dinner outside, was so happy that Alicia was fine with meeting me though she stayed in Southbank. So long never meet her already. Then when I saw her just now, she looked way taller from how I remembered. :P Felt really paiseh ask her come out all the way. Wonder next time can ask her go out again?

Sad sad memories.

Was browsing around my com looking for some pictures to use for my Web3D project.

Chanced upon the pictures I took with my ex-girlfriend before I came here. Felt so compelled to look at the pictures, relive the happy times. After that feel so heartbroken.

Stupid me. Why make myself unhappy?

Funny thing is, every one of my friends in Singapore keep asking me, Oei brudder, found a girlfriend yet? Everyone from the typical Singaporeans, Hongkonger, Fillipino, Danish all asked the same question. Argh. Finding a girlfriend is so difficult. I don't have the charm like you guys. I need the feeling for finding a gf to be there, not just find one so happily and get on with life. Bo chemistry, no talk. Some more, find someone here, then end of the year how? I don't like to kenna relationships that end fast. No purpose.

Why don't you guys help me to find one instead?
