last last week

i didnt mean 2 weeks ago... but rather 2 weeks to go before before the exams: one week of academics plus one more week of self-study week... and then the final exams.

one more week of formal classes left, but guess what... i still have 1 test, 2 lab reports and 3 assignments due! Wa-biang... lidat how to prep for exam.

i looked at my exam timetable and compared it with my artist and scientist neighbours. i got 9 papers in total. the scientist has got 6. the artist... 2!!!

is this what life of an engineer is all about?

i dont care. i promise i'll 好好款待 myself after exam with lotsa food and entertainment... buay ta-han...

time for a break, for me to listen to 梁静茹's rather-act-cute-but-nice new album 《亲亲》 to calm my nerves...



梁静茹 《幸福洋果子店》

为什么在这个街角　为什么你灿烂一笑
这空气里有水果的　恋爱中酸甜的味道
总要等到天气太好　总要听见你开的玩笑
是我的心将迷恋着　某一种口味的预兆

每天下午我从不迟到　我喜欢这安静的好
有一天下午你撇了嘴角　说HI
这次你喜欢怎样的味道

我要我们甜的刚刚好　却指着鲜奶油蛋糕
爱的祈祷你没听到　　只感觉你偷瞄我发梢
我穿上我最好的外套　还等不到你的拥抱
爱情像面包般重要　　就要恋爱的人都一定会知道

为什么在这个街角　为什么你灿烂一笑
这空气里有水果的　恋爱中酸甜的味道
看这窗外天气多好　春天的气息提前来到
女生的心很固执的　喜欢上很难戒得掉

每天下午我从不迟到　我喜欢这安静的好
这一个下午你撇了嘴角　说HI
你想要的我全都准备好

感情越好 伤害越深

I never consider myself a saint, not the best kind of friend that everyone wishes either. I don’t make big sacrifices for friends and neither was I always there when they needed help. I would rather save it for my family. But when I do, it’s not credit and praise that I’m after.

More often than not, I prefer to make small sacrifices and help out in the most insignificant instances. I don’t wish for anyone to know. I just wanted to treat them as friends and be treated as one too.

It hurt so much to learn that my kindness has taken as a form of weakness.

another week over

did i mention that i have 13 assessments in the next 3 weeks before the exams? got over with three this week... and ten more to go. maybe this is what they call kharma.

as engineers, we are expected to have a lot of work and very little sleep, or so they say. well, that didnt really happen to me last year, considering that i got at least 8 hrs of sleep every day, and still managed to find time to play mj during weekdays. what good life... ^_^

alright... i'm sorry. i got my punishments now... mayb i do deserve them.

i suppose the last-minute technique that work well last year didnt prove very effective this year. i must be very stupid to have realised that only recently.

i promise to be hard on myself last week... surprisingly i did. ha! i dont think i got out of the academy. there was no bleach or naruto in my life for the past 10 days, and DotA have been reduce to microsoft free cell... basically i didnt get a life. but i'm glad, at least things get done.

it's a quiet friday night, I'm taking a break now. cuz i know i will and have to work very hard over the weekend. well, i dont think i should be playing any more DotA for the time being... that game is a sin. dont start playing it if you havent.

that's all for now, i'm gonna watch the bleach and naruto i just downloaded... they would be great encouragment.

I HATE KANGAROO

i thought kangaroos were 'national treasures' of australia.

apparently not. in fact, almost every australian will try to hunt down these 'treasures' when given a chance. i'm starting to understand more of the deep hatred they had for these creatures.

for those who dont know... these animals are plentiful and they are allowed to run freely within the country. of course, you dont expect them in city areas simply bcos there is no grass for them to feed on. but u would always find them roaming around in other places such as our playing fields. road kills are norm... and killing them if they are found in our firing range is a must.

last sunday, on my way back from sydney, a god-damned kangaroo ran across the road and hit our car when we were just 200m from the academy. it was a 60-road, so we managed to slow down to 40 before the impact. but still, the collision resulted in several dents on the right-hand passenger door.

it was a rented car, and we have been charged a total of 3.3k for the damages.

i'm speechless... all i can say is that we must be super 'sway' to be hit just outside the academy.

WTF

always running out of time

well, i guess i have no one but myself to blame. whenever there's free time in hand, i played my games and watched anime, instead of catching up on the work i missed or even updating this space. again and again and again, i find myself leaving work to the last minute.

the 8-hour-work-each-day plan didnt turn out as well as i thought. not much work was done in the end and the result is me working like crazy ever since school reopened on tues.

righto... i'm gonna be hard on myself this time, until i get all my shit sorted out. exams is only five weeks away and i really really hope to maintain a WAM close to 90%.

some quick update:

1. awesome dinner at high commission where we had nasi-lemak and stuffs

2. got my driving license last tues. total cost: AU$730 ^_^

3. went to sydney again last weekend... 6-hours of KTV!!!

4. a lot of work to do

5. lacking sleep

haha...alright, i think i have made the point.

these were my exact thougths when i watched this 'horror' flick

fair enough the effects were great, but i was looking forward to a horror movie that could give me a good scare

shiok!

it feels great when i can stop thinking about academics for a couple of moments!!

finally the long-awaited one-week break has arrived, a wonderful opportunity for me to take a breather before steaming at full-speed for the end-of-year exam. i aint got much time and money for a real holiday trip this break. i think i'll get shot when i say this, but i'm staying in this week to catch up on my academics. i dont see myself doing as well this semester, but i do hope i can maintain my WAM above 85%... my break is the sacrifice.

of course, i wont be crazy and work insanely hard. 8 hours of work a day with 6 hours of entertainment. how does that sound?

anyway, the first 2 days of the holidays were well-spent... no work but just relaxing inpromptu road trip around everywhere... how i wish i had more time like this.

cant wait for the study break to arrive

it's always good to remind myself: there's always someone out there having a day worst than me...

3 tests this week

and the cycle starts again...

周杰伦 - 听妈妈的话

小朋友　你是否有很多顽抗
为什么　别人在那看漫画
我却在学画画　对这钢琴说话
别人在玩游戏　我却在躲在家背ABC

我说我要　一架大大的飞机
我却得到　一只旧旧螺旋机
为什么要　听妈妈的话
长大后你　就会开始懂得这段话

长大后　我开始明白为什么我
跑得比别人快　飞得比别人高
将来大家看的都是我画的漫画
大家唱的都是我写的歌

妈妈的心她不让你看见
温暖的事都在她心里面
有空就得多摸摸她的手
把手牵着一起梦游

听妈妈的话　别让她受伤
想快快长大　才能保护她
美丽的白发　幸福中发芽
天使的魔法　温暖中慈祥

在你的未来　音乐是你的王牌
那王牌谈的恋爱　而我不想把你教坏
还是听妈妈的话吧　晚年再恋爱吧
我知道你未来的路　干嘛比我更清楚

你因为太多学习的同学在这块写东写西
但我建议最好听妈妈我会用功读书
用功读书怎么会从我嘴巴说出
不想你输所以要叫你用功读书

妈妈挑给你的毛病你要好好的收着
因为不知道是我要告诉她我还留着
对了我会遇到周润发
所以你对跟同学炫耀赌神未来是你爸爸

我找不到你写的情书
你喜欢的要承认因为我会了解你会在操场上牵她
你会开始喜欢唱流行歌
因为张学友开始准备唱吻别
