Mr Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Started reading the book at 3 yesterday. Slept at 5 .30. Woke up at 10 this morning and yes, I just finished the book at 1300.

So how was it?

Well, I expected the ending. I guessed who was the plotter, who was the spy. Whom died? Also guessed correctly.

But yeah, its a nice book. Though the ending was really sudden. As if the writer wanted the book to be done and over with. Not really the ending that I liked.

Some people never learnt.

This post is dedicated to the one who posted the funny message to me.

For once, comment if you like, but do not comment on my choice of content for my blog. Post on your own if you like, but please kindly leave your childish personality on your own blog.

I'm not here to entertain you, neither to rebuke you on your childishness. I just wanted you to know that there are invisible eyes out there on the Internet that can observe what you do, write, etc and record it down.

I don't really care who are you. But if you are who I think you are, think about it. FRIEND.


Someone is watching...

Fate is like hanging on a thin thread.

I feel so disappointed with myself.

When I don't understand the subject, i got 25%. When I understand I got 30%. What bugs me is what have I done wrongly..failure for me when I know its a failure is understandable...but failure is not an option when I know my mistakes.

SO, WTF happened? Guess I'll only know tomorrow.

I called my dad just now, even more disappointed with myself when my dad showed concern. I expected that he would grumble and scold me, I tried hard, studied and this is the result. Is it true if you aren't set for the subject, no matter how you try, nothing nice is going to come out of it? Why can't I get this?


Life feels so dull suddenly,
At the click of a mailbox,
My world grows dark and cold.

Lost is my golden key,
Gone is my hope for honours,
Demise of my masters' Dream.

Burden by disappointment,
Heavy my shoulders feel,
Weakening of my legs.

Can I still stand?
I need some time off.

I need some encouragement.
Dennis better dun piss me off on the trip.

Scanario?

It's not a spelling mistake. I'm just following what the tutor pronounced the scenario as. Week 1 of school is ending soon.

And what have I gotten? Projects....projects..gotta start doing them in order to be in schedule for the programming assignment for Programming 3.

Professional Computing Practice seems really boring. Basically, its just self-learning. Accounting systems too...just that I gotta do a refresher for the debit and credits.

What I'm feeling now...properly described in this MTV by Linkin Park: Somewhere I Belong.



(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
and I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

(chorus)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

(Repeat chorus)

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today

(Repeat chorus)

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I am somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I am somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

So lost.

School starts..today

Went down to the DFO at Essendon yesterday with the 3Ds, Danielle's friend and roommate and Jason, can't spell their name.

Bought a single T-shirt from Esprit at 15 dollars.

After that Possum hunting marked the end of a remarkably long but seemingly short holiday.
(For those who don't know what the hell is a possum, don't worry, I managed to take pictures of it. Something like a giant squirrel, I would say.)

Oh well, school starts today. Will be going down to help man the RMIT aikido booth today. Wonder who will be there to do the setting up. I heard Lock will be going down. I wonder will that be an attraction too?

Anyway, I might be going down early, just to take a look around and recce a bit here and there for awhile. I'll help Lock for the moment, probably until around 2pm I guess. I'm thinking of meeting up with Kirby since he's here with his girlfriend. He seems to have mellowed down a bit. Haha. Took a look at my course guide this morning, seems I'm gonna have a headache this sem for Programming 3. One look and I think,"OMG. I don't even remember anything of this shit."

But then, must keep a positive thinking, and slog on. Now I'm thinking, should I go purchase the lecture notes today?

Thinking about the SSA job starts to give me a headache. Feel so lost.

Close your eyes and open your mind..

Went down to Hoyts to watch Bridge to Terrabitha this afternooon with Kai, Kevin and Eric. Rahul shouldn't have missed out on this nice show.

This show was really interesting, though the starting parts were damn boring.

As the show was playing, it asked me. What is real? Can fantasy be made-believe or part of our lives...? It makes me wonder which part of my life is reality, which part of it is what I wished it would be.

Lets' say in the context of an imaginary friend. I feel lonely in life. No one to love me, pamper me at all. What do I do? I create an imaginary friend whom I know will give me all that I want without any conditions. Friends nowadays, they wanna know you for various reasons other than friendship. The true meaning of friendship is long forgotten.

Imagination is the key. Life doesn't have to be boring, and waiting for others to move. Move on your own and others will follow. Never wish for a miracle, it will never happen. Work towards the miracle, make it happen.. Life doesn't have to be dull. If you are dull, your life will be colorless. If you are all-jumpy, well, we see some colors, don't we?

Results are out?

Results are out!!!

Apart from one shot down...but nevertheless to be revived.

Professional Practice for Information Systems - Credit.
Computer Security and Control - Distinction.
Web3D Technologies - Distinction.

A sigh of relieve for the Computer Security, actually expected a credit due to some nutty cork up. Professional Practice for Information Systems, expected a pass - credit, due to the tutor teaching and highlighting utterly irrelevant shit. Luckily, the lecturer was downright boring but actually a very great help, and 2nd point was that I done this subject in poly. :P. As for web3d, Trevor actually hinted that I got close to a High Distinction during a meeting. :)

Haha...actually i wrote some much so that my post won't look so short.

Updates!

As above....photos taken thru the weeks have been updated.

Few more Days to my re-test. Hope I pass, then can continue my 2nd semester in peace. Must write faster, draw correct diagrams...bring ear muffs, don't dress too much. Tired shoulders.

Just to note: @ my Picturesteal page.

1. Clubbing and Hot Pot pics are in "Daily Melbourne"
2. New "Melbourne Zoo" photo album.
3. New "RMIT Aikido" photo album.

Happy Viewing..!

Welcome to Melbourne Gaol.

Went to visit the Melbourne Gaol while waiting for my laundry to dry. Went there with Eric, Kevin and Shah. A rather ghostly atmosphere, took a few pictures to show my point, but I can't upload it currently, due to the problem of over downloading. I will have to wait till Monday before I can upload any new event pictures.

Another way is to hop on to RMIT, and upload from there, should be much faster, but nt sure whether the place got open or not during the holidays.

6 months have passed so fast. Worrying woes are beginning to set in. For sure Adelin is going to buai me for this post. I'm STILL worrying about getting a job back home...aaah.

Welcome to the zoo..zoo.zoo... + Autobots Roll out!!!

Juz came back from watching the Transformer movie. Remembered it was so popular back then..really missed those times.

I loved the part where the female lead mentioned that the car was crap, and Bumblebee morphed to a newer version of the car.

Wonder whether is there going to be a sequel? Starscream is still around there somewhere...the scorpion-like robot is still somewhere in the desert...

Went down to the Melbourne Zoo with Kevin and Muey Lip and Lee Ting. Relived times where I got to the zoo in Singapore to take pictures, with my dad always nagging me to remember to include myself in the picture. Just to note, I myself am not camera-shy, but I would rather take pictures of the scenery or animals rather than myself. I would prefer to take pictures with good friend or someone that I liked, thats all. Really enjoyed myself seeing the animals living so carefree. But true, they gain security and lose freedom. Is that a good sacrifice?

This point was also highlighted in the Transformer movie too. Are we living in a free country? Where we can speak our minds? Most of the time, others care not on what we say, but more to what they can gain from what we say. Someone has to stand up for others to take part.

The pictures taken today will be up soon.

Pictures Due:
1. Aikido Demos.
2. Clubbing @ Velour.
3. Visit to the Melbourne Zoo.
4. SSA Sponsorship Pictures.

Work Due:
5. Studying for my sub paper.
6. Re-doing my resume.
7. Back to job search in Singapore?

1 word. Ahhhhh!

The weight is on me....urgh.

School's starting soon.

Seeing one of my results where I have to take the sub paper makes me so pei chek. Though I expected it since I sucked at that module, still I got the same feeling. The moment I got this information, I rushed down to school to look for Dale and asked to see my paper.

Got blacked out that damn day. And you know what, I probably would have passed by the skin of my teeth...if I had more time to finish certain parts of the paper. Sobz.

Got great for my assignments. But then crashed due to my final paper. Aaah wasted. Think next time I have to print out my assignment grades to convince my future employees.

Software Engineering Fundamentals : Dead - Hope for Resurrection.
Web3D Technologies: Live - Hope for Distinction, best become High Distinction.
Professional Practice for Information Systems: Hope Live - Happy for Credit.
Computer Security Controls: Hope Live - Happy for Credit, best become Distinction.

Terence called me to go clubbing at Velour. It's a new Terence, not the Idiot upstairs. Anyway the clubbing was cool. Kevin got hooked up by some some random missus. Heng not me, disgusted. The music was okay, a lot of Chinese there as to what Kevin said. Some cute girls, but no idea why, I don't feel a sense of attraction so far for babes I meet in clubs..?

Going to Melbourne Zoo tomorrow morning with Muey Lip and Lee Ting, plus Kevin. Wonder got what animal there. Hehz. I should remember the route to go there, can provide information in the SSA forum.

Thinking about graduation again. What to do? Confirm will be going back to Singapore to work, since I don't think I taking honors liao. Probably, will take Masters in SIM, part-time probably. Either that, get a specialist certificate in security. Looking out for jobs that might interest me. Help help.
