Life as it is

过年了

2009-01-22T23:44:00.002+11:00

再过几天就过年了，没得在家里过年肯定会觉得可惜。在这里过年，少了很多很多新年应该有的人，事，物。基本上，在这里过年跟没有过年其实没差。所以，到现在我还感受不到过年的那种心情。看到朋友们都回家过年，多奢望下一个飞回家的就是我。可是想想，就算回去过年有能怎样？也许，我已经忘了过年那种兴奋的心情。

2007，提早飞来了澳洲，结果尝试了第一次不在家中过年的滋味。
2008，一年没过年，一年没回家，很期待新年。外公不幸去世，基本上没什么庆祝新年。
2009，第二年在国外过年。一个人在家，还没感觉到特别的新年心情。

不过呢，还好年三十晚还可以跟一些朋友吃个火锅，吃个团圆饭。可是，年初一，又能做些什么呢？虽然是公共假期，但也还想不到有什么可以做。

新的一年，希望这一年是好的。人人都说“牛转乾坤”嘛，把去年统统不好的，不幸的都给乾坤大挪移掉，那大家就可以牛年行大运，好事滚滚来。

2009，应该对我来说会是一个很不一样的一年。因为再过几个月就终于脱离学生的身份，可以开始工作赚钱了。哈哈！生活上肯定会所改变。当然，放下了“读书”这个包袱，也希望可以探索更多“读书”以外的世界，知识性的，待人处事的，生活态度的等等。刚刚发现了自己在待人方面还有很大的进步空间。对不起啦，语嫣朋友！

Garvan圣诞派对

2008-12-17T19:42:00.002+11:00

好喜欢十二月哦，整个月都有的玩。今天整个floor的人都不必做lab，因为今天是level 10的Christmas Party！！！

Christmas Party地点位于Sydney Harbour, Vaucluse的Strickland House 。基本上是一间具有历史价值的豪宅。不过其实Christmas Party跟这个Strickland House没什么关系，我们只是在豪宅一旁的草地BBQ+Picnic。据说选择这个地点的原因是因为靠近大老板的家，也是豪宅一栋。

好多食物吃，好多人，好美的天气。而我最享受的莫过于今天的食物了，太多太好吃的食物了。

一到步，就有面包+cracker+各式各样的cheeessseee...
跟着更好料，海鲜冷盘。。。哇哈哈！好爱这些海鲜冷盘。。。有鲜甜的红虾啦，有蚝啦，还有好好吃的Atlantic Salmon，爱死它们了。

然后就吃些水果+Mixed Salad，吃了很多水果，很爽。还有那个Yogurt Fruit Salad，简直就不能停下来吃。一直吃，一直吃，饱到没什么位子给BBQ Sausages and chicken了。当然还有澳洲人派对不能少的Beer & Wine。不过，真的没法子再喝这么多不同的饮料了。太多东西吃了！

最后一个环节是Secret Santa送礼物时间。基本上就是交换圣诞礼物，只不过你不知道礼物是谁送的。好多礼物。我自己就收到了一瓶d'Arenberg的The Broken Fishplate Sauvignon Blanc白酒。还不错咯。这是第二份圣诞节礼物了，上一次Coles Christmas Party拿到了白巧克力。哇，两个礼物一起吃，味道应该不错hor！

下个星期二就要出Trip去Snowy Mountain & Canberra了。哇！真的是玩个不停。我爱圣诞节！

变化

2008-12-14T00:42:00.005+11:00

觉得生活上的每一方面都需要有一些变化，重复又重复的步骤，就会演变成枯燥，乏味。变化带来新冲击，新鲜感。当然，变化是很极端的，有的让人抗拒，害怕；有的让人陶醉，欢喜。

变化是一种成长，成长一种变化，两者相辅相成。好比如毛毛虫蜕变成大蝴蝶，是昆虫成长必经的阶段，也是昆虫在各方面改变的过程。

从马来西亚来的我变成现在在澳洲的我，经历了两年的变化与成长。

第一变，变得完全的独立，完全可以一个人生活。首先，变得会煮饭了，所以就算一个人也饿不死了。想当初，连最简单的炒饭都不会。当我第一天需要自己准备晚餐时，真得慌了，什么都不懂。过后家人打来，跟他们说我连吃饭都有问题时，声音还是哽咽的。两年后，要煮一餐可以吃的，已经不是问题了。虽然煮不出什么上乘的菜，但还不至于难吃，顶多没有味道罢了嘛。刚刚晚餐吃的自mix salad,味道还真得不错。

每个星期六晚十点放工回来，碍于夜了又饿了，总只会随便煮个面吃了算了。昨晚，觉得再吃同样的面就会呕了，绞尽脑汁才想到说把仅有的材料全部mix在一起吃，这个变化想不到还不错的。

第二变，变得有自力更生的能力。自己赚钱，自己花。学生的生活变得不是只有读书，也有了工作的成分。半工读，是一种新的尝试，新的挑战。再变，变得更懂得珍惜家人。更家人相处的时间少了，反而会更想珍惜与他们在一起的时间。

除了生活上的改变，今年在学习上也有了一些变化。从读书，上课，考试，背书的学习生活变成了实践知识的实验室生活。到目前为止，还蛮喜欢这样从实验中学习的日子。

暂时还想不到什么更具体的变化。不过，还是会很期待生活上有更多的变化。因为机械式的生活真的让我麻木了。逢星期一至星期五回实验室，星期六星期天回Coles的机械式的时间表，太闷了。很期待不用制定电话闹钟起床的日子，现在每一晚睡前要做的事，就是要调闹钟，甚至连周末也要如此。刚快来个变！变！变吧！

2008-12-03T22:40:00.002+11:00

经常想要说写blog写的频繁些，可是每次总抽不出时间慢慢地写。每次总想说要写一些很有内容的post，但是自己的文笔又不好。还是简简单单，实实在在地写一写生活上的点滴与感想吧。

十一月，玩了很多。朋友的生日派对+Brisbane朋友的到访。认识了一班很好玩的新朋友。子峰很幸福ler，刚到步就认识了一班可以闹，可以疯的朋友。当然，我这边也有一班齐玩了，齐出游的朋友。

十二月，期待圣诞节派对。对洋人来说，圣诞节就同等于我们的新年，是年度一大节日。这个星期就有两个派对可以去，一个Garvan的学生派对，一个Coles的。还期待！当然也更期待我们自己的Christmas Party and Christmas Trip。哇，最近真的玩很多。

这几天也吃了很多，吃了很多不同不同的muffin。多谢Sam心血来潮几乎每晚做muffin。有机会的希望自己也有本事做做一些甜品，糕点之类的小吃。要偷一偷师。刚刚也在烘培过程中帮了忙，不过没有看到准备材料那一部分。今晚又Banana muffin吃！

对于朋友最近的不幸遭遇，也真的不知道有什么可以帮忙。除了不断的尝试说些安慰的话，真的也无能为力的。但愿剩下的一切可以顺利解决。其实遇到这种事，我第一个反应就是恐怖。真的回想说如果发生在自己身上，会要怎么面对。虽然这一天总要来，但请不要来得这么快。我需要更多的时间来扮演好自己的角色。

Aiks,又这么迟了。还没有读到paper呢。一直要警惕自己要读多一点papers，不然真不知道要怎么写论文。我真的不想努力了这么多年，才来功亏一篑拿不到1st class。也因为这种想法，这么多年的学习都在紧绷，警惕的状态，深怕一个小差错，就毁了一直的努力。赶快结束吧，这种生活。我必须快快毕业！哈哈！

我很忙

2008-11-08T00:03:00.003+11:00

哇！这个星期超忙的。从星期三到星期五，每天都要动老鼠。

本来不用这么忙的咯，要不是那位RA执意要这个星期开始新的实验，我都不用这么忙+累。明明就是我的实验，不懂为什么硬要插一脚进来。你的Project已经过了，现在是我的Project!我很感激你帮忙我做实验，示范你熟练的技术，但可不可以不要当成是你自己的实验吗？总是那么的霸道，不让我尝试。想当初你也不是什么都不懂，要不是经过多次训练，你会有今天纯熟的技术吗？你就不可以让我想你一样经过那样跌跌撞撞的训练过程吗？为何怎样都要抹杀我练习的机会？为什么不让我做！？

我这个Honours student还真“大牌”，有个RA来帮我做实验。Lab里的Phd students都没有RA
帮忙。真不知是喜还是悲。我只不过想在这短短的一年学多一点试验技巧，然后写好份论文。这样的要求很高吗？

这个星期忙完了，可是不知下个星期有没有什么试验要做。现在我的感觉是，在跟RA抢试验来做。虽然说有人帮你做实验，会多一点result，可是我总觉得不是我做的实验拿来当作我的result并不是很恰当。如果在我能力范围的，我应该尝试去做的。

其实这个星期除了忙，也很疯狂。不过，不是我疯狂。
在澳洲，发生了两大事。
第一，Melbourne Cup，我到现在还不明白澳州人可以为了一场赛马这么的疯狂。为了这个赛马，各个地方办起聚会,BBQ来。而且还公然在工作时间开赌。还记得去年Coles那里也是有类似的赌注。我想这其实只是个借口来偷偷懒，办一办聚会。

第二大事，就是黑人总统奥巴马当选咯。同样的，Lab里的人也一整天时时刻刻的守在电脑前等待最新消息。当然，大家的话题也离不开美国总统竞选。

就这样，又过了一个星期。一个非常充实的一个星期。
期待下个星期的Business Plan Finalist Dinner, 还有星期五的庆生。

新床

2008-10-26T20:46:00.006+11:00

哈哈！我的新床今天终于到了。等了三个月，屋主终于肯拿张新床给我，而且是新买的，IKEA货。屋主真是的，答应一个月内给我床，等了两个月还不来，要不是我逼他们在一个月内送张床来，我看夏天完了也不会来。现在看在买了张新床来，就不计较那么多了。

新床在今早送来了！

还真是第一次要自己拆床，装床。虽然不是很困难，但还是的劳烦到好人housemate峻伟哥帮忙，在此说声谢谢啦。都是Derrick的好dai heap，好好一张床也可以把它睡坏，所以我才需要一张新床。

首先就先把旧的那张床拆了，顺道打扫一下了房间。扫一扫，抹一抹。

拆了被Derrick睡坏的旧床。

然后就开始新床重组游戏，看了看似懂非懂的manual,就着手架起床架来。提提钻钻，搬搬抬抬，还了真个小时的时间才把新床弄好。

我的新床！组装完成！

哎呀，在外面住，真是什么都得靠自己，以前在家哪里需要自己动手，老豆二哥自然会搞掂。哈哈！不过也好，今天又做了一件以前没自己动手做过的事。

哦，这个时候，家人也差不多要出发去吃饭了。今晚要为老豆农历六十岁大寿来个小庆祝，不过我又得错过了。好像来了澳洲以后都错过了很多很多特别的庆典，去年就很多朋友的21岁生日party啦，然后就姐姐结婚啦，现在又老豆的寿餐。啊！为什么要这样对我。可惜可惜！

无论如何，还得恭祝老豆生日快乐，但愿您年年有今日，岁虽有今朝，最重要的还是身体健康！

充实

2008-10-24T21:50:00.005+11:00

这两天的试验工作还蛮充实的，两天都呆到6，7点才回，而且一整天都有东西做，吃午餐还有点赶呢。有实验做总好过呆呆坐在电脑前不知要干什么。

两天里，一共宰了22只老鼠。啊，不要说我残忍，我的实验大部分都要牵涉到老鼠的，所以没办法。一开始玩老鼠时，也是很战战兢兢，很害怕的，尤其他们还在活生生的动着时。不过，当他们被麻醉了，被宰了，就不怕了。当然，一开始听supervisor解释要将老鼠怎样怎样时，我也是像你们一样觉得很恶心，但当你真正去做，做久了，就不觉得怎样了。

那到底对这些老鼠做了什么呢？
没什么啦，只是在一个月前，把癌细胞打入它们体内，让它们生肿瘤。过去一个月，就每两天测量肿瘤的大小。终于，今天可以把肿瘤取出。

昨天，宰了3只。除了取出肿瘤，还得将它们分尸，保留以后可能要用到的器官。Supervisor先示范,才轮到我表演。见识到了supervisor解剖的功夫，而我也第一次尝试到如何认别器官，然后细心的将它们取出。拿了脾脏，肾脏，肺，淋巴结，还有心脏，脑跟眼睛！！！

如何拿脑跟眼睛要说明一下。首先把头部切离身体，在将头部的皮肤拿走，第一次看还蛮恶心的。接着，就慢慢把头颅敲开。敲开后，就可以清楚看见脑了。然后从后面轻轻的把整个脑拿出。拿了脑，眼睛就可以很容易的取出。当我把脑啦，心脏啦，眼睛啦全部丢入试管时，有一刻真的觉得自己是crazy scientist。Supervisor最后还很有兴致的向我展示他之前解剖过的肿瘤，器官，老鼠胚胎！还有不同时期的胚胎。

够了，恶心的还是不要再说了。哈哈！

今天还好，只是把肿瘤拿出，19只里只有13只有肿瘤，其他6只白白牺牲了。

但愿接下来的日子也可以这样充实咯。不过，也不要太忙啦。哈哈！矛盾。我只是不想在实验室呆呆没事做而已。

p/s:我宰的不是白老鼠，而是这种黑老鼠！实验室还有一种中褐色的老鼠，可爱很多。

随意

2008-10-15T23:13:00.002+11:00

原本打算读些lecture notes,准备两个星期后的考试。结果，还是懒惰。

星期三，如常的早上去上课，下午回了实验室看看老鼠。不知道为什么每次上课都会睡着，改也改不了的习惯。有时候，爱睡得觉得自己很失败，那么不争气，不能好好听课。终于，考完这一科，就只剩下最后一科了。

小老鼠们还是没什么长瘤，迫切期待Project可以快点有成绩。下个月另一个助理回来了，还蛮担心工作范围被分化。只想说自己能在这个project能做多一点，那么顺其自然的，试验成绩都可以归我的。哈！

还有半个小时应该就可以睡了。明明可以做些复习，却又不知在干什么。上网也不懂要看些什么，太懒惰读东西了。

近来与朋友电邮，提到了“兔有三窟”。

其实，一早就只自己一窟都没有。不知从中学的那个时期开始就知道读书读书。。。读了也没能有效的应有在生活上。问我有什么兴趣？还真的答不出来。多年来太注重课业的后果。很多时候，想学些新的东西，但不是没时间就是没恒心，没那份热忱。我想像别人一样，除了会读书，也会玩一些别的，钢琴，摄影，看股市。。。

工作了，生活会更不一样吗？

无题

2008-10-02T22:34:00.002+10:00

又一个月没在这里写些东西了。

前阵子忙着Literature Review + Business Plan, 现在都搞得七七八八了，接下来的今年，就会专注在Lab work上吧。在Lab做了两个多月，很多东西都还没上手，也没有什么result。Supervisor人很好，懂得东西也很多，但是就没那么有组织。有时也担心到最后，会不会没有result来写论文。

还好今天有好消息。实验要用到的抗体终于制做好了，接着会有的忙了。其实自己也没有好好善用时间来增值自己Lab topic的知识。要多看一些papers!自知不是research的料，只求能好好完成这一年，能写好论文，顺利毕业。

这个星期还蛮特别的，Derrick,Foo Loong,Joon Wayn,Rhouw and Cheng Heng的毕业典礼。回到来悉尼，难得的一聚。看到他们毕业，感触还好，反而是匆匆忙忙的相聚，才更感触良多。他们都忙着带家人去玩，没什么时间可以聚在一起聊天。以前和他们住在一起时，却又不会很频繁的邀他们聊天。哈哈！错过了的时光，让人觉得可惜。

其实来了这么久，还真的没有很多Australia's experience。很多事，物，人，还没经历过。我想要到了做工时，才能享受一下澳州式的生活。（如果有机会在这里工作的话。）

我也要快点毕业。。。

再见Winter!

2008-09-01T17:22:00.003+10:00

今天出门，哇！艳阳高照，阳光四射，终于告别了寒气逼人的冬天，换来了暖暖的春天。春天真的来了吗？我希望是。不要冬天，害怕冬天。

冬天冷冷的，真的令人很难受，尤其令到我生病，更加讨厌。不知为何今年对冬天特别反感，应该是生病惹的祸吧！哈哈。

没有了冷冷的空气，冰冰的地板，寒寒的冷水，厚厚的装备
换来了暖暖的阳光，温温的暖水，凉凉的的阵风，轻便的服装，
真爽！

再过一个月，daylight saving要开始了，很快的，天气和昼夜将和马来西亚的很相似。=）

在Garvan待了一个月多了，认识的人还是那几个。虽然每次遇到新的人都很想认识他们，可还是依然故我的不会主动。出来这么久了，交际能力还是原地踏步，尤其要用英语来交际，说没几句话就不知道要接什么下去了。不过我很荣幸生长在马来西亚，会说几种不同语言，跟香港人可以讲广东话，跟印尼人可以讲福建话或一点点烂烂的马来文，跟中国人当然说华语咯。

大学由你玩四年，以前在中学都是这么听回来的，可不觉得我玩了四年。哈哈！好像都是在K书罢了。

最近特别懒散，上个周末都一直在煲戏，什么都没做。惨了惨了！

生病

2008-08-25T14:22:00.002+10:00

冬天，再次陷入病菌的侵袭，又病了。

这次是这个冬天第二次生病了。上次病好，才只不过是一个月前的事。第一次病的那么的频繁。或许，年纪大了，身体也开始差了，免疫系统也没有从前的好。

以前生病，不看医生，不吃药，过一段时间就会痊愈了。现在不行了。。。两次生病都让我觉得生病是非常辛苦的一件事，什么是都不能做了。啊，比起从前，健康真得那么的差了。现在生病都得靠吃药来痊愈了。是这里的病菌太强了吗？哈哈！还是现在的病菌都变种了。

健康差了，也是有迹可寻的。饮食上，这里当让比不上在马来西亚的好吃好住，鱼就少吃了很多。疲倦度，这里高很多，毕竟是半工读。少了娱乐，某程度上对心灵加重了负担。天气想必又是另一个因素。

原来当你很忙很忙得过了一段时间后，突然间的空闲会让心灵很空虚。

今天给自己放假呆在家里，虽然还有很多东西等着我去做，但是却觉得很空虚。自三月份回来，都没什么想过特别要回家，现在错失了airasia的promotion才发现自己原来很想在明年的新年回家。

生病真的让人想太多。

听故事

2008-08-07T23:19:00.003+10:00

今天为了Business plan而去了West Sydney的一个叫Marayong的小镇，靠近Blacktown。整个车程大概1个小时多吧。

为什么去到这么远？因为我们要写Business plan的这个公司在这么远。原本还很懊恼为什么要浪费时间去到这么远，不过，还好有有趣的故事听，又有不错的午餐。OK咯！

整个下午就在听那位uncle在介绍他的公司，产品，再加上一点点有趣的心路历程。

对，本人喜欢听人讲故事，尤其是那些生活化的故事。例如，某某人如何从这样变成那样。那些非常成功人士的故事，自传，反而有点戏剧化，加上不爱看书，所以兴趣没那么高。有动画的故事加上旁白的叙述，特别喜欢。《家在马来西亚》那一系列的故事，都爱看。对了，国庆日要到了，不知道现在Astro还有没有播《家在马来西亚》。

那个uncle是马来西亚人。在异乡听到马来西亚人，第一当然就是有近切感啦，毕竟都是来自同一个地方的。加上他从马来西亚跑到这里来搞生意，看起来还搞到不错，所以还蛮佩服佩服的。

所以，他在讲他的开拓生意的心路历程时，都是抱着听故事的心态，从没有对他的故事怀疑。我就只是喜欢听故事嘛！

结果，回的路程时，朋友说对他的故事有保留，觉得他都是在吹水，说我也太容易被骗了吧?其实我不知道，我就只是喜欢听故事。事实是真是假，也什么大不了，有特别的故事听就好。

哈哈！所以，下次有什么故事，记得分享给我听！

没事做

2008-07-28T22:47:00.002+10:00

第一天到Garvan做lab，认识了一些人，但是忘了他们的名字，哈哈！

傻傻地坐在自己的bench读paper，没有事情做。又没有带电脑，什么又不懂，只能呆在那里等supervisor来找我，跟我讲一下lab的东西，给我一点事情做。supervisor好像没什么时间理我似的，整个project又没有phD或其他postdoc，就只有一个快要完成honours的RA。迟一点supervisor又要去欧洲给talk，有点担心。那样的话，就真的要吃自己了，希望lab的东西快快学上手啦。

明天应该又没有事情好做的。可是IT的人明天又不在，还是没得上网。那就应该会早点回家吧。嘿嘿！

不过，在Garvan做也是有好的，设备够好咯，尤其喜欢那里的cafe，微波炉都新过人的。还有gym tim。所有东西都很规划，很有条理。连文具都准备好一份给你。

Honours，早上去完lab，晚上回家就是自己的时间了，不错！这样的日子应该可以过个半年吧。明年才再开始烦论文。=）

加油！

塔斯马尼亚

2008-07-16T21:43:00.006+10:00

从Tasmania回来，经已是一个星期前的事了。然而，在Tasmania玩乐的片段，还记忆犹新。相信这个trip的每一个人都很enjoy。

这真是个难得，难忘，难题多多的trip。哈哈！

一行九人从Sydney出发玩遍Tasmania，大车搭小车，尽兴地玩了五天，真是有够难得的了。要知道出trip其中一个大问题就是要找到kaki，还要找到能玩又好玩的kaki。

从Hobart玩到Lauceston，再回到Hobart离开Tasmania，去了Bruny Island, Mount Wellington, Strahan, Cradle Mountain跟Port Arthur，坐过了cruise出海，wilderness railway翻山越岭，玩过了期待已久的雪，走走爬爬过了Cradle，住过了一个个超美又舒服的住宿，驾过了一段段又弯又暗又多雾的路，一起吃过了BBQ，拍过了将近7GB的照片，用难忘来形容也够适合了吧？

如这还不够，还有一个事故让这个trip爆分的！印象中有史以来的车祸也在这个trip发生了。放心，没事，不然你不会看到这篇post。

我们的大车在前往Strahan的路途时，在一个急转弯下撞上了路旁的signboard。怎么了?车子前段有点撞坏了，前轮的轮胎也爆了。幸好，大家都没事。他们打趣地说，还好大家坐在车里的位子正确，把重量分布的平均。一句话说完，就是几位重量级的在差点翻车的那一刻，“施力”救了大家。哈哈！

人没事，车能走，不过轮胎爆了。原来大家都没有换过轮胎！多亏老爸以前对我训练有素，不厌其烦的教我如何安全的换轮胎，现在终于派上用场了。在少于5摄氏的大路旁换轮胎，一点都不好玩！就这样，车子撞坏了，赔了钱，旅途继续。

第一天去了Bruny Island与Mount Wellington。Bruny Island，其实没什么，就一直在驾车。去了Island末端的Light Tower,风真的很大很强，可以把人也可吹动。不过，还是输给了Mount Wellington顶峰的风力与震撼力。吹得我的耳朵都快掉下了，下次不敢不上装备就下车吹风了。在Mount Wellington经历了第一次与雪的接触。雪是好玩，不过能要耐得住冰冷的天气才好玩啊！

Mount Wellington Summit

接着几天都在Strahan逗留，坐cruise坐railway，确实看了很多大自然的美，但没玩到什么的，一路都是历史介绍，我都没在听。=)

Cradle Mountain算是最累的一天吧，天没亮就驱车赶到Cradle，走了整个下午，而且路又icy icy的，不好走。但那晚也是睡到最舒服的，Green Beach Cottage我最爱，真个cottage布置得很精致，加上有火炉，温暖的不得了。

Port Arthur是很不错的，风景很棒！虽然我都还不是很懂那里的历史背景。Ghost tour的lecture我也一样没在听啊！因为真的闷到我了。哈哈！

回来了这么久，到这一刻，我还是不停地告诉大家，这个trip真的很爽！我也玩得很努力。

是读书压抑太久了，还是太久没出门了？

要想想下个trip要去哪里呢？哇哈哈！
（皮包：“医好我了才再说吧！）

I AM DONE!

2008-06-26T13:10:00.003+10:00

刚从Uni回来，交了这个学期最后一份的Assignment。而考试已经在前天晚上考完了，所以I AM DONE!严格来说，是半个毕业生了，哈哈！算完成了个Degree。读完接下来一年，就可以完成Honours Degree了。嘿嘿！

来临的一年，应该可以轻松一点过吧。至少不必上lectures了。也不对，还有两科要修，所以还有两个考试。不过，相比之下，是会有比较时间来slack吧！=) 一切还需看research做的如何，希望都可以顺顺利利，重点是要学多一点新的知识，新的东西。

考完试，却没有以往考完后异常的兴奋。也许这次的考试没有这样压力吧，只有3张papers，而且上lectures时都跟得上，不像以前Biotech科目那样，上得不明不白的。

放假了，下个星期要去塔斯马尼亚玩了。本来这次假期要去墨尔本的，可是没什么人去，反而有朋友去塔斯马尼亚，所以就跟去那里玩了！看了几个blog说到其实很多人来澳州玩都会忽略这个小地方。这个小地方有别去其他的大城市，别有一番的风味。那就看看这次的旅行有什么收获吧！嘿嘿，可是去旅行又要花钱了，这个假期希望可以打多一点工，赚回花掉的钱啦。

好了，假期愉快！

哦，对了！子峰要来澳州了，又多一位义家人在这里了。不错不错！

一如往常

2008-06-07T01:00:00.005+10:00

总爱在一个学期的最后一天，做个生活记录。

是的，又是一个学期的结束。这是第三个学期了，也是Honours前最后一个学期。如果说不做Honours的话，这个学期以后，就算毕业了。哈哈！

突然想起前两个学期上课的最后一天是雨天，天气并不好。最近的天气也不是很好，天阴阴了好几天。忘了今天到底有没有下雨，不过，在回家的路程上，惊然的发现久违了的阳光。显然这次的“最后一天”有点不一样了。这又代表了什么呢？哈哈！

相比之下，这个学期似乎过得比较自在，开心。虽然这次拿了四个学科，不过课业也没觉得特别繁重。很大的程度上，是我已经习惯了这里的生活。它已经完全是我的生活了，不是去年那样，是焕然一新的生活。加上学期缩短了，时间也过得特别的快了。至于思家的情绪，也缓和了不少。毕竟，已经经历了一年没回家的考验！姐姐喜事的缺席，也考验了我不少.

所以呢，自回来的这几个月都过的很好。期待Honours带来不一样的体验。

考试加油！

接下来，很快就会update我的blog的啦。因为考完试就要去玩啦！哈哈！

生活如常

2008-04-27T19:06:00.004+10:00

又是一段漫长没打blog的日子，是时候update update 一下下。

生活如常，没错！如往年一样，照样上课，打工。。。不过呢，这个学期过的似乎比较充实。因为除了正常的上课，这个学期也开始进入实验室做实验，所以几乎每个下午都在实验室里呆着。上课时间也蛮有规律的，每天的课都从早上九点开始，上到一点钟，然后下午就在实验室里。通常都呆到5，6点这样。至于工作方面，也开始有制定的时间表了，因为就会从casual转成part-time，所以逢星期四，六及日就得上班去。不知是否工作就了，开始有点sick of working!哈哈！没法啦，功还是得照做。

十二个星期的学期，似乎过得特别的快，现在已经week 6了，算算，再过多6个星期就考试了。这次的考试时间相信也会很快吧，那也好，快快结束就可快快轻松。

过完这个学期就进入honours year了。期待不一样的学习生活，而且个人也比较喜欢只专注于做一样东西，所以接下来的一年只要专注于做research。好吧！赶快过完这一学期，迎接宁一个不一样的学习体验吧！

生日快乐！

2008-03-28T12:20:00.011+11:00

2008年3 月26日，在悉尼庆祝了22岁的生日。

这是第二度在悉尼度过生日，比起去年的生日，今年的生日有特别了许多。这一次的生日，是难忘的，充满惊喜的。

印象中，除了去年与今年的生日在国外度过而显得特别之外，剩下的较难忘的生日就是中学时与图书馆朋友庆祝的生日，还有班上当年整个三月份的寿星一起在KFC请吃的，再来就是在INTI那一年的生日。至于小时候的生日怎样庆祝，还真的没有什么印象。原来自己很多的生日都是与朋友一起庆祝的，很少有与家人齐庆祝的回忆。而朋友当中，好几次的生日都是与图书馆的老友们一起的。当中的庆祝方式包括唱K跟一起吃饭。还记得有一年的生日礼物是一份充满满满祝福的礼物，忘了礼物的包装，只记得应该是个箱子，箱子里装了六瓶的Pepsi Blue，但那不是重点，重点是一张张写着祝福的字条，除了一般老友的字迹，还有图书馆几位老师的字迹。个人对这份礼物特别印象深刻，因为本身喜欢透过字迹表达的祝福大于物质的，会有幸福的感觉。所以每次生日收到朋友在12点那一刻打来的电话或传来的信息，都特别开心。还有高一那年的生日书包，也很有印象。再来就是班上同学又一次送我的一只猪的扑满，哈哈！哦，当然还有INTI Friends送的那一套衣Ba!

Emm......至于这次的生日，惊喜在于不懂得会有那么多的人来到我家在12点那一刻与我一起庆祝。当时我真的吓倒了！原本以为只是跟housemates们一起庆祝罢了，从来没有expect到coursemates们，juniors们的出现。我想着应该要多谢housemate的安排吧。哈哈！当然不能不感谢当时在场的每一位朋友，谢谢！谢谢你们给了我一个不一样的生日。

另一点让这次的生日难忘就是这次的生日，我醉了！醉倒隔天醒来自己吐了一整身都不知情，醉醒了也忘了昨晚自己是如何醉的，如何回到房间睡觉的。哈哈！醉后的一切都得透过朋友们讲会故事给我听，醉了的我原来会失去记忆的。我真的忘了醉后到底发生了什么事。LOL!

至于简讯方面，可能在国外，所以比起以前收到的相对的少了，不过呢，今年却又有两个蛋糕吃，哈哈！谢谢大家送上的蛋糕啦！

生日当晚的Dinner在City的Seoul-Ria吃了一餐韩国餐，哈哈！又要谢谢朋友们请我吃啦！吃饱了的节目就是唱K咯！第一次在悉尼唱K，真的唱的很过瘾。哈哈！

今年，我度过了一个很愉快的生日！

Easter Show 2008!

2008-03-25T20:45:00.005+11:00

上个星期日，也就是Easter的那一天，一gang人去了一年一度的Easter Show。如往常的，今年的Easter Show也在Sydney Olympic Park举行。

一大清早，便搭巴士到火车总站集合。没错，Sydney Olympic Park离我的suburb有一段距离，所以要坐大约20-30分钟的火车到达。大概11多左右吧，我们一伙人就到了今天的目的地。

一进场，看到的两排沿着街道的Show Bag摊子，当然，看到的人群也是不少的。我们就这样在摊子晃了一段时间后，才跟着行程看shows去。其实Easter Show就好比小时候常去的游乐场一样，不过这是大型的游乐场，除了可以玩不同不同的机动游戏，还有一堆shows看，是一个非常适合一家大小享乐的好地方。然后hor,这里还有一些大型的游戏摊，在马来西亚的游乐场可是不能看到的。再来，公仔也较美，较大只。

第一场看的Show是Xtreme Show,位于NAB Arena。Xtreme Show除了有Motor Freestyler之外，另有看头的就是Toyota Hilus大车的表演咯！看得很过瘾。

而下午的时间都在到处走走看看。有蛮多的展览可以看得。当中看了，小猪喝奶，乳牛“走秀”，剪羊毛，WoodChopping Contest。。。。。。这个WoodChopping算是一个小小的比赛吧，选手有来之加拿大，美国，澳洲和纽西兰的。最后，是由纽西兰胜出，接着的是澳洲，美国跟加拿大。

我想玩得最爽的应该是在机动游戏那里吧！真的是超多刺激又好玩的机动游戏，看了都过瘾。尤其是我还蛮喜欢玩这些刺激的机动游戏的，这次真的是大开眼界。可惜，游戏算贵吧，所以我只玩了两种游戏而已。哈哈~据知，这里的游戏还比GoldCoast的来得刺激ler~

最后最后当然就少不了烟花表演来为整个Show做最完美的Ending啦！

走了一整天，真的是脚都痛死了，加上太阳有那么晒，不过算是个难得的体验吧，至少见识过了Sydney的Easter Show。哈哈！不过呢，这种地方来一次就够了！LOL~

重返悉尼

2008-03-11T20:24:00.002+11:00

3月9日晚，再次搭上飞机返回悉尼，开始另一年的读书生活。在飞机之前，对于返回悉尼的心情还蛮期待的，可能是要回到久违的生活，也可能是一种对未来生活的憧憬。直到上了飞机，才知道自己其实并不舍得离开温暖舒适的家。

3月10日，早上8时多抵达悉尼的家，还来及赶上9点的课。就这样，从9点上课到下午1点才回到家，再与朋友们一起去吃午餐。第一天回到来，只有个累字。第一个晚上似乎也睡得不是很好。当然经已开始想念马来西亚的一切。尤其在马来西亚不必自己自备所有的一切，不必为三餐而烦恼，不必为省钱而烦恼。。。哈哈！看起来很依赖吧。当然咯，在马来西亚好吃好住了两个月，一回来必定不习惯。加上之前是假期，回到来又得上课，做作业，考试，读书的压力又无形的随之返来。

近来在为着自己的enrollment而烦恼，不知道自己是否该不该拿一科较有挑战性的research project，还是拿个较简单的科目，轻松点过完这个学期。犹豫的原因是担心自己没有这个能力去完成这个research project，同时如此一来的话，就少了些时间去打工。不过，看来应该会选择轻松的方式过完这个学期吧。

回到来，晚上又得呆在房间里准备课业，不能像在家那样吃饱饭就坐在电视机前看电视了，生活又变到沉闷，空虚了。

期待生活上会有新的冲击吧！

迎接2008

2007-12-31T00:24:00.001+11:00

过了今天，就要迎接新的一年，2008了！！

今年有了很多不同的尝试，不同于往年的经历。首先，今年二月飞来了悉尼，来到了一个完全陌生的新环境。从一开始的害怕，焦虑到逐渐地适应，这一步步的摸索，确实蕴藏着许许多多不一样的回忆。今年，第一次离开家里那么长的时间，第一次在另一个国家过农历新年，第一次在国外庆祝生日，第一次过这边打工边读书的生活。。。到今天，又要有另一个第一次，那就是第一次在这里迎接新的一年！

2007年12月31日，我将要在Sydney Harbour Bridge CountDown！将要目睹Sydney Harbour Bridge烟花绽放的精彩，这里的倒数可是全球一大盛事之一。而且今年的烟花也听说是历年来最美，最精彩的！机不容失，今晚一定要找个好位子，好好欣赏漂亮的烟花。烟花好像是长达13分钟，相信这13分钟将会是2008年第一个最美的时刻。有拍到好照片的话再上传到这里吧！

顺便也在这里提一提之前的日子在做什么吧。。。

整个12月，都在忙着打工+玩！真的几乎每天都去打工，这几天的生活也是如此。就晚上1/2 点睡，隔天10/11点醒，看一俩部戏，然后准备午餐，接着就去等巴士上班去。下半时已是10点多，吃个晚餐，再看几部戏，就睡了。除了去了Adelaide的那几天，我想其余的时间都这么地过了。

University of Adelaide, South Australia

说起Adelaide, 果然没什么地方好去的。就算去的地方也得坐一两个小时的车程。不过呢，我志在见见久违的老朋友们，顺便参加他们的毕业典礼。Esther说得对，我这一次的Adelaide之旅，可以说是毕业礼之旅，前前后后总共参加了3个毕业典礼。

首先是Opasang,子超，Esther, Allen & 竞仁的毕业礼。第一次参加朋友的毕业礼，感觉还蛮新鲜的。第一天拍的照片不多，反而是多数在替人家拍照。

第二天的毕业礼是老同学的毕业礼，一班同batch的INTI老友毕业了！当中有HuiYi, LyeFang, MeiLing, YiLing, Cindy, YehSze, Benz, SengJun, Rethi & Rethish。大伙儿都很enjoy整个过程，也拍了不少照片。至于下午呢，是E Wei的毕业礼。我可是S3SJ的代表哦！哈哈！经过了这三场连续的毕业礼，现在可说是对毕业礼蛮熟悉的了。不错不错！算是为自己将来的毕业礼有了好的准备。

毕业？像贞子多一点吧！？

在Adelaide的日子，总算过地relax and enjoyable，尤其可以与朋友们见面相聚，更是开心。难得还可以遇到从UK飞来的Victor，相信即使大家在马来西亚也不大可能特地约出来见面。加上去Adelaide之前也不停地再打工，所以真的很享受这个短短的假期。

对了，有件事不得不提。原本应该20/12回到悉尼的我，既然迟了一天才回！因为我missed了20/12早上的那班机，还我白白浪费了70澳币rebook ticket。算了，谁叫我自己没把时间算好。

至于从Adelaide回到Sydney后，也就回到了打工的生活。而且只有我一个人在家，housemate去了Brisbane，明天才回。所以呢，我已经home alone for 10个晚上了！！！真惨！今晚总算是最后的一晚了。不过呢，过了这么多个一个人的晚上，也都习惯了。哇哈哈！

期待今晚的烟花表演！！然后呢，就准备回家去！！！

12月啦！

2007-12-04T23:31:00.002+11:00

看一看日历，Ho Ho Ho，厉害咯！十二月了咯！真的光阴似箭啊。。。哈哈！十二月的到来，带给了我们这班游子无比的兴奋。除了代表着夏日长假的来临，也意味着回家的日子不远啦！以前一直期待着十二月的到来，当时十二月真的是个很遥远的日子，可是遥不可及的。终于，在引颈长盼之下，现在已身置于十二月当中,除了有一种难以置信的感觉之外，那种莫名兴奋的心情我也不懂要怎样去形容。哇哈哈！

11月27日，考完试后，我的充实假期就开始了（至少到目前为止是充实的！）。考完试，二话不说便与大伙们到Marouba的一间酒家吃点心去。来了这么久，还是第一次到酒家吃点心，吃到很开心，很过瘾，因为太久没吃点心了。吃完了，当然就是打工去，不打工我可是没有资本去吃喝玩乐咯！

11月28日，去了摘车厘子(cherry)。目的地是个位于New South Wales西南边著名的车厘子果园。在这个叫Young的城镇除了有车厘子果园外，也有一些纪念早期当地华人历史的一些景点，不过我们没去到，只是顺口提一提而已。

当天的收获不少，摘了5kg的车厘子回家，到现在还没吃完，现在还边打blog边吃车厘子！没办法，那里摘的车厘子以特价售出，比市价便宜很多，所以在这诱惑下买了这么多的车厘子啊！

至于接下来的几天，我也算过的很充实，几乎每天都去上班。好开心，因为有工做就代表有钱赚。哈哈！为了可以到更多更多的地方旅行，现在要开始存钱了！！我还有好多地方没去过！！

那几天的日子就中午煲戏，晚上打工，回来继续煲戏到一两点，然后再睡！虽然看起来不是很营养的生活，可是难得放假，放纵一下是一定要的！

好了！说回今天！！今天晚到很开心，去了几个不同的地方，各有各好玩的。

首先，去了类似wildlife park的小型动物园，而最令我兴奋的就是我终于可以看到澳洲特产，kangaroo, wallaby, wombat 和koala bear，还有platypus鸭嘴兽。来了整十个月了，我可还没看过这些特产，今天总算有机会会一会他们，重点是还拍了不少照片，爽啊！

然后呢，中午又出海看海豚！野生的海豚。。。还看到不少的，不过大部分都离我们有一段距离的。幸运的是有一只侧游过我们的游船，让我们近距离的目睹可爱海豚的风采。

最后的重点就是到Port Stephen的Anna Bay滑沙！！那里是一个自然形成的沙丘，而这特别的沙丘也正是个著名的景点，最主要应该是可以滑沙吧！这小小的沙丘真的很像沙漠，在那里玩的不亦乐乎！可惜我还玩不够本就要回家了。下次有机会我可还要去呢！

考试咯！

2007-11-14T23:58:00.000+11:00

今天“终于”轮到我考试了。。。不是我很期待考试，只是正当housemate们都开始了考试，而且还靠了两三张后，我都还没开始考，所以今天终于到我了。这次的考试真的很漫长，迟开始又迟结束。有时真的是准备到“显”。

今天第一张paper，准备也算充足的啦，而且coursework看起来还score的不错，应该可以考到好成绩。结果没想到天天迟睡的关系，搞到我昨晚迟迟都睡不着，导致我今天精神真的不是很好。一开始拿到考卷时整个人真的是blur blur的，有点脑袋空白的感觉。这个blur状态在我考了一个小时后才渐渐消失，我才渐渐进入考试状态。考了这么多次的试，我还是第一次有这种blur的经验。结果呢，我就不够时间做啊，浪费太多时间在blur的状态了。所以有些题目也做错了，然后又不是很够时间，hais。。。。不过这张paper应该还可以吧。

下一张paper是四天后，结果呢现在我又有点slack，slack底的。不行啊，要读书啊！还有13天，我就可以考完试啦。。。快点！快点！！

另一个“最后一天”

2007-11-02T22:55:00.000+11:00

继上个学期“最后一天”的post后，四个月后的今天，我又有另一个“最后一天”可写了。

没错，我又完成了另一个学期。现在只剩下最后四科的final，我就完成了2007在悉尼的学业生涯。期待这个月尾的到来，因为到时候我就-F-R-E-E-啦！

与上个学期的最后一天一样，今天的也是天阴阴的。不懂是巧合，还是每次的最后一天都这样。不过，今天的天气却没有比上个学期的糟糕。也同样的，最后一天有大assignment要交，所以不用说，昨晚也是迟睡的。撇开final不去想它，最后一天是很轻松的，因为所有的assignment都交完，有种解脱的快感。

最后的一份assignment，老实说，我并没有什么心机去做。还好最后还是赶完了，交上了，至于分数如何，不管了。反正也不会知道会拿多少，到时只会知道总的分数。至于为什么没心机做，是因为心情大受姐姐婚礼的影响。我依然很在意错过了这个喜事，对我来说是一种遗憾，一种难以释怀的遗憾。从来不知道自己的心情可以如此的大受影响。很多人都跟我说，未来还有哥哥的婚礼可以参加，但对我来说是不一样的。错过了的回忆，是无法弥补回来的。

比起婚礼刚完的那几天，我现在可以蛮okay了。哈哈！有些事是需要时间来冲淡的。现在陆陆续续收到了婚礼的照片，看到大家都很开心，很多亲戚朋友都有出席当晚的喜宴，那一定是一个很热闹的晚上。拍了那么多的照片，可是没有一张是有我的出现的，好可惜。印象中我们几个兄弟姐妹并没有很多的合照，就算有也是小时候的事了。婚礼的当天，哥哥姐姐弟弟合照了，但是少了我。不管了，到时回马后要捉着他们一起再来合照。

知道在多想也没用了，一切已过去。但有时候情绪这种东西还是很难控制的。final还有很多东西要准备，现在唯有一直逼自己读书。再捱过27天，就summer holiday 啦！

*Hais,我的final既然考到全校考试的最后一天，真的是好漫长的考试啊！好好加油咯！今天都没开始读到书，是时候努力了！！！

郁闷+无奈

2007-10-25T16:30:00.000+10:00

这个星期的心情就如标题所示，很无奈，又郁闷，又想家。。。

再过两天家里就要搞party，隔天就是姐姐与姐夫的大日子！总之这个周末家里会特别特别的热闹，从没试过那么的热闹，因为是家里第一次办喜事。而这一个第一次，我却没得参与。每每想到到时那种热闹的气氛与情景，心里就特别的不好受，因为没有我的份。晚上躲在房间做功课时，孤独感的侵袭更让自己心情受影响。家里那么的热闹，我却一个人在这里赶功课。。。

再来有那么多的功课要交，更气的是Internet quota用完了，上网速度超慢，真的很pek ceh。晚上就算有时间可以做功课也没得做。不只这样啊，Internet慢了，害到我没得webcam，之前还想说不可能回去就算了，但至少也要让我可以webcam看看家里的情况啊！

还好昨晚试着用cable webcam行得通，所以昨晚真的很开心。不过，我还是会担心到时webcam不到。拜托请到时可以让我顺顺利利webcam，唯一的要求，可以webcam我就很满足了。

好了，发泄完毕，继续赶功课。下个星期最后一个星期了，之后再考一考试，我就可以等着回家了！期待！！！！

春假记

2007-10-03T19:22:00.000+10:00

不知怎么的，每次写blog都觉得自己好像有一段时间没update我的blog了。哈哈！有时候想写，可是又没什么空挡的时间来写blog。

哇！不知不觉经已十月了！春天到了，花开的季节，可是没什么看到遍地开花的景象。不过，上学途径中会经过一家梅花盛开的庭院。以往看的都是过年装饰的假梅花，现在看得是真真实实的梅花，感觉好不一样。看真的当然比看假的好。

之前憧憬的春天是天气凉爽，花开满地的景象。然而，这几天，天气是热到要命！真不敢想象夏天要如何呆在这里。所以，希望到时可以快快回家，不用在这里捱热。说到回家，下个月考完试，就可以回家了。不过不是我啦！是housemate。我想表达的是回家的日子已经可以用“下个月”来表示了，听了都兴奋。不过算算我回家的日子，还有三个月ler。那可是1/4年，Hais。。。

上个星期过了一周的春假。基本上并没有假期，因为整个星期都在做lab，所以没假放。由于做lab的关系，也没得去上班。上班的时间似乎变少了，当然这也好，让自己有更多时间花在课业上。可是这一来，赚的钱就少了，开支也随着要省一省。希望可以再做多一点点，那就完美了！
至于假期中除了去lab，还有就是庆祝中秋节咯！其实没什么特别的庆祝，只是当晚的晚餐煮了些丰富的美食，然后在前院赏月吃月饼，简简单单的度过了在国外的第一个中秋节。以前课本读到“每逢佳节倍思亲”，现在有机会体验，但其实并没有什么特别的感觉。也只不过普普通通的一天。也许长大了之后就没什么庆祝中秋节，所以思家的感触并不深。庆幸在这里还有月饼吃，不过就没灯笼玩了。

而开学前的一天，也和housemate们到了Hunter Valley一日游。那里算是郊外吧，所以看的是遍地草原，风景优美，感觉好舒服。Hunter Valley是个出名产酒的名胜地，在North Sydney，驱车两小时便可到。既然是产酒的地方，当然也少不了品酒这个节目。所以我们呢就一家一家的酒庄品酒去。到最后我都有点晕晕的感觉，这种挨家挨户品酒的活动，还是第一次试，倒是蛮过瘾的。最爱的当然是fruity wine，果香味超浓的，喝下去甜甜的又顺口的。当然酒味加果香味恰到好处的酒最棒！

买了一支自己觉得好不错的酒，打算带回马给家人。看到时能不能顺利带回家吧！

所以整个假期就这样充实的过了。既享受又充实的假期应该算是很不错的假期了吧！哈哈！

接下来还有一个月的上学日，然后就进入考试期。再过两个月，就放大假咯！期待期待！

我的葡萄园！哈哈！

悠闲的歇息

2007-09-17T13:16:00.000+10:00

哇！又有一段时间没写blog咯。。。没办法啦，上几个星期都在忙着考试，做assignments，上一个post也有提到自己会很忙，希望可以捱过那一段繁忙期。哈！现在捱过了，心情也轻松一点。

所以呢，整个周末是很悠闲的过。不过悠闲是在于所做的事，那就是看剧，看戏，心情却不是那么放松，原因在于还有两份报告要交。基于不是很会做，加上人懒懒的，所以才会选择看戏来逃避功课。功课赶不完的话，到时又要捱夜。所以这叫自找的！哈哈！

说到捱夜，最近真的很迟才睡。最早也是2点睡。养成了迟睡迟起的习惯，真的不是很好。要改一改了。

看了《不能说的秘密》，觉得也真的很不错啦，只是剧情怪了一点。穿梭时空的爱情故事。。。也许不是个浪漫的人，所以会觉得故事怪。再来，就是《岁月风云》这个长篇剧。还不错的，得空可以看看。毕竟是为了香港回归十年而制的巨献，卡士（class)这样强，值得看啦！

发现近来的港剧都附有家庭温馨的因子，强调父子情，兄弟情或母女情。可能如得力说的现在社会乱，所以要凸现家庭的温馨。也可能如我说的，现在人在外，所以特别有感触。

今天呢，去了city走走，阵阵一个月没去city了。其实很喜欢到city走走，即使没特别事要办。觉得sydney city是个完全不符我对city的定义。因为sydney city到处都可以看到绿树，还有一大片的绿地，公园，更难得的是还靠海ler。所以有草有水，加上蔚蓝的天空，好舒服。喜欢坐在the rock看着opera house，听游船笛声，脑袋空空的感觉。心情够放松，生活够悠闲。

至于今天去city并不是为了让自己去陶醉在这一那么悠闲的“星期一”。而是特意去city弄我的机票，定了回家的时间，心也比较定了，至少不必担心没空位回。还好今天去弄，不然真的不知道几时才有的回了，12月1月的机位都蛮满了。机位是订了，不过可能还会更改，如果有更早的机票。好吧，再过3个月，就回家咯！

努力！加油！

2007-08-28T03:03:00.000+10:00

似乎有一段时间没有update我的部落格了。

没办法，这段时间我大部分的时间好像都在打工与赶功课。工作的时间是越做越多，这是基于个人由于对这份新工作还存有新鲜感，所以上面分配给我的shift，我的欣然地接受。当然，前提是我在分配到的时间是得空的。

就这样，工作花掉的时间再加上本身改变了的学习态度，让我似乎少了时间花在课业上。其实，工作事小，学习态度才是真正的绊脚石。少了对学习那份热忱，搞得我一直在浪费时间，到最后的结果是拼命地赶功课。在INTI时，可不会这样咯。但，两者也不能相提并论，毕竟一个是在马来西亚，一个是在澳洲，环境因数就已经是一个很大的不同点。

我看来很忙吧？哪为什么还有时间写blog？因为我赶功课赶到很累咯。。。

接下来的一个月将会是我这个学期最艰难，最难熬的一段时间。因为有一个project，几份report再加3个考试要应付。希望可以不用这样压力的渡过这段时间。压力，可以让人觉得很沮丧。

呵呵，我当然也学乖了，减少了接下来两个星期的工作时间。工作对我来说，就是能够赚钱自付在这里的开销。减少用家里钱的观念早在决定出国深造那一刻根深蒂固的埋在脑海里。

前几天，收到了一个让我觉得很痛心的好消息。不要奇怪，我没有用错词！！

好消息是因为再过几个月，家里将会有喜事。痛心的是我没机会参与这桩难得的喜事。所以，喜事的当天，所有人会聚在一起，而我却呆在这里。这一痛心加上近来的课业不得不让我想回家了。哈哈！（Opasang，好像明白你那时候的情况了）当然，飞回去的念头会不停的在脑海闪过，但闪过就好，因为这个可能性几乎等于零。说出来也只是用来安慰自己罢了，让自己存有着希望。理性告诉自己不用对没可能的事想那么多，感性同时也让自己一再地感到惋惜。不过呢，怎样都好，家有喜事就是好事，没什么好感伤的。

现在只要让我能够好好应付接下来的课业，快快读完这个学期剩下的2个月，然后顺顺利利考完试，努力打工一个月，然后就可以回家了。回去我那我长这么大都没试过那么久没回去的家。还有，回家之前应该会去Adelaide玩一玩，顺便见证一下朋友们的毕业。

倒数：125天！继续努力，加油。。。嘻嘻！！

14公里路

2007-08-12T15:33:00.000+10:00

今天是我这半年来运动量最大的一次，因为我用了2小时45分钟走了14km。没错！就是14km！

不是我无聊没事做而自己去走了那么长的一段路（对我来说，是很长的，至少我没试过走那么远的路），而是我参加了悉尼一年一度的慈善竞走活动。其实，我不算参加啦，因为我根本都没有报名，嘻嘻！我和coursemate Bryan就这样没有号码布插入人群中跟着路线完成了这14km的竞走。

忘了提一提这个活动的名字。它的名字就叫City to Surf。是个年度的大型活动，由当地的报社Sydney Morning Herald举办，有整整二三十年的历史。而今年总共有6万人参与这个慈善竞走。单是这一点就足以吸引我去见识见识一下。当我去到起跑点那里，看到那一群人海（真的是要用“海”来形容，6万人ler），真是很庆幸我没有错失这个难得的机会。

Start Point!从这里开始走。。。。。。

6万人海！

沿途一面走一面拍照，然后又一面在那里谈天，就这样我们从city走到bondi beach，一步一脚印的走完了整个路线。经过一些住宅区时，还可以看到有些人在他们家开party，有些就把speaker塞在窗口播些音乐，还有些直接来个live band!哈哈。。。

走完了14km，我现在的脚是由脚趾痛到大腿，再由大腿酸到脚跟。所以现在就去睡觉去！对了，没想到我们在终点还遇到Shihui,哈哈！！

Yeah! 我走完了14km!!!

不过，去了觉得真得很不错！明年可以再去！哇哈哈！

战利品!!!

我的奖牌!! （哈哈！其实每个人都有一个）

Newsagency

2007-07-25T21:44:00.000+10:00

Kingsford Newsagency,在这里打的第一份工。除了要上早班外，可以说满意这份工作，因为工作够轻松，薪水也不会太低，加上老板还不错的说。

还记得当时跑了几个地方找工，resume到处派，没想到最后被我拿到这份工，这也是唯一有回复的。接到通知要去面试时，那消息是多么的振奋，当时还在market买着菜呢。就这样，顺利面试，实习下午的shift,实习晚上的shift,关店，到早上一个人开店，不知不觉也已经在这间Newsagency工作了接近三个月了。

这三个月的工作经验最丰富的莫过于早上的shift（因为本来请我就是要上早班的，哈哈！）经过了上个假期几乎天天上早班的训练后，现在也习惯了这种早起的折磨。可能主要是学乖了，会早睡了，所以那种累的程度减低了30%，不过还是会很累的。最令我印象深刻的莫过于那是边假期边工作的那段时期，那时适逢朋友到悉尼玩，所以我是早上上班，然后出去玩到晚上，睡一睡，隔天再上班。厉害是厉害，但不会想再尝试，哈哈！

其实上早班除了累之外，还有一点就是七早八早天还没亮出门还蛮怕怕的。尤其开店要从后门进去，有时会无聊的想，万一我一开门看到里面有人，该怎么办？首先，第一反应是吓倒！这不是没发生过。一次发生在实习期间，老板比我早到，躲在店里算钱（明明叫我一个人开店，自己又出现，当然吓倒）。

哪到底开店要做什么呢？经过多次的训练，开店的每一个step经已形成一种自然的行为模式。哈哈！
拿钱，拿bus tickets,开收银机，lotto机，sign in,放钱，开香烟柜，开大门，分报纸，杂志标价。。。

工作的趣事大概没几多，因为每次做的事情都差不多一样。。。
但，是少不了一些有趣的customer。

例如，有几个买香烟的customer会要求换好看一点的包装图片。（香烟的包装有些吸烟后果的恶心图片）奇怪，明知吸烟有害还吸。Haih。。。

还有些常光顾买同样物品的customer，他们不用出声，也已经知道他们要什么了。。。蛮过瘾的。。。
也有些亲切的customer有时会哈啦寒暄几句，尤其是天气特变冷时。有几个意大利人吧，还蛮喜欢听他们说带有意大利腔的英语。其实早上的顾客，多数是些已退休养老的老人，生活很悠闲，一大早买份报纸，吃个早餐。再不然就是花些钱买彩票，消一消遣。第二群人就是那些要买bus ticket的。不说你不知，这里bus ticket不便宜，所以买入bus ticket的in voice数目真的不小。第一次看到那数目是还真的有点错愕。

哦！有个我觉得很像X-men里的Professor X的阿伯每天早上都回来买一份Telegraph加一张$2 lottery ticket。说到彩票，有些customer真的买的很凶，几十块几百块这样买，然后都很少有中的。

还有一个凶神恶煞的customer，还记得有一次帮他弄错了东西，脸色马上变的，还被他讲了几句。所以之后他来买报纸彩票时，我都很怕他。哇哈哈！这里的customer有friendly的也当然有不friendly的啊，不过还是前者占多。

确实有很多不同不同的customer，只是很可惜，我都不大懂得找话题与他们交流交流，因为本身的沟通技巧不是很好。也许下一份工可以在这方面提升吧！不过在哪里做cashier都一样的，很少customer会跟你讲一大堆，主要还是你要主动和他们交谈。下一份工的好处在于不是一个工作，而是有几个workmates一起工作，所以“得闲”时可以交谈一下下。

Ermm。。。对了，由于经已找到一份条件更好的新工作，下个星期后就会离开Newsagency。不舍？不会，还很兴奋tim，因为要早起真的不是很好，睡眠不足会导致上课没精神，无法集中。再者，新工作那边应该可以学到更多更多的东西。

第二个学期的第一个星期快过去了。说过这个学期要好好用工读书，不可以再浑浑噩噩地渡过。显然第一个星期还是懒散的，不过下个星期要恢复状态，努力读书，然后就可以回家咯！！！

Sydney Trip

2007-07-15T17:51:00.000+10:00

7月4日至7月11日这疯狂的8天，是生命中又另一个难忘的旅程。首先，这是我在澳洲第一个真正的旅行，再者，这是一个与久违的朋友相遇的旅行。这一次去了不少之前还没到过的地方，吃了不少美食，更花了不少钱（哈哈！哈哈！），但对我而言最重要的是可以跟相熟的朋友到处去玩。或者这不是个单纯的旅行，这是一个老朋友的聚会。不管是S3SJ或是INTI gang的，只要能聚在一起玩，就肯定很好玩，很快乐！

也许一个人久了，当与旧朋友相遇时，人就特别兴奋，特别开心，心情也特别relax,话也特别多。自从刚到悉尼，在ShiHui家那段时间有到处走走之外，接下来的时间都在忙着上课，工作，准备考试。当然，偶尔有跟housemates下city逛逛。直到这一次才真正玩遍Sydney主要景点，吃遍Sydney主要美食。真的很relax,很enjoy。。。也真的很享受跟老朋友们玩在一起的感觉。。。也许你会很奇怪为何我一直把这旅程的重点focus在“老朋友”这三个字。没错！确实如此。因为以往的生活，不管是中学还是在INTI的时候，我都是一gang一gang的，来到这里突然间一个人，当然有不习惯+孤独的感觉。不过，过了半年，也跟housemates们混熟了，这孤独的感觉也没那么深刻了。

这次的旅程得以如此顺利，首先要谢谢我们的导游ShiHui。接下来当然要感谢参与这次旅行的朋友们，特别是Adelaide，Queensland飞来的INTI gang: Yiling, LyeFang, Irene, Cindy Yap, HewyiOng + Malaysia飞来的新朋友Gillian。

当然也跟这班朋友的友情更深了，就好像HewyiOng，从不熟到装熟到熟，其他三位更不用讲。再来就是认识了一个新朋友Gillian，个性跟Yiling差不多，都是癫癫的，哈哈！最后就是从第一次在INTI见面，之后在MidValley正式见面，到在Sydney见面的ShiHui，在这一次旅行也彼此更认识了。

期待下一次再与大家一起去旅行。下一次的相聚应该是在马来西亚吧！

又一战

2007-06-22T11:02:00.000+10:00

哈哈！又考完一科了，考完试的感觉真好，之前一路来累积的压力马上消失，肩膀也松了一松。只可惜，考试还没完ler！！还有两科！对！就剩下最后两科了，快快给我考完，浆就可以有悠哉游哉的放假咯！

自第一战后，马上星期一就迎接第二战了。Physiology不是我的强项，上课又没有专心，所以考得不是很好。Haih,最后成绩如何还要看Physiology Practical Exam咯。

自于今天的这一战，大致上还不错，因为整张paper分数不是很重，所以能考的东西不多，但是还是有一些题目不会做啦。哈哈！我要求不高啦，只要拿到理想的成绩就很满足了，毕竟这个学期也蛮懒散的。

倒数5天！5天后我就自由了！！！哈哈哈哈！！

第一战

2007-06-15T13:06:00.000+10:00

嘿嘿！刚考完第一科考试。。。。

今年的题目与去年的类似，要求的答案差不多一样，只是换个方式问问题而已，所以

战绩：还OKAY!

不过这一科还没完，还有一个practical exam在下星期五，所以要继续努力啦！

今天全家出动去考试，所以一大早厕所就有人进进出出，bing bing pian pian,特别热闹。哈哈！
而且大家6，7点就醒了，很少大家会一起这么早醒。这个情况就让我回想起大年初一全家人七早八早起床准备去拜年一样，很热闹浆。。。呵呵。。。今天天气也不错，走到外面讲话时嘴巴还会出气的，很过瘾。。。housemate说很像在中国过年。。。

好了，要准备下一科了。下一科physiology在星期一，怕怕！而且只有两天半准备，加油加油！

最后一天

2007-06-08T17:44:00.000+10:00

难道悉尼的天气也为一个学期的结束而悲伤？

今天的天气很糟糕，一大早就天阴阴刮大风。。。也许这是换季的预兆吧。离别秋天迎接冬天的一天，狂风放肆的把秋天最后一季的落叶吹下，吹得我的雨伞都要坏了。今天纯粹要回大学交上这个学期最后一份的作业，怎知狂风却把我弄得整身湿漉漉的。还是第一次感受到这么强的风势，当然也蛮爽的，毕竟是第一次的体验。这里的天气真是变幻莫测，今天热，明天冷，后天刮大风。看到强悍的狂风猛吹街上的树时，还蛮可怕的。

今天除了天气特别恶劣之外，今天也是这个学期before final的最后一天。不知不觉中，我竟然完成了一个学期了！都说了时间不饶人的啦。看来很快的我就要完成在悉尼第一年的学涯。这几天都忙着biotech的final report搞到我睡眠不足。终于今天完成了！！别以为就可以休息了，因为final就在下个星期五！！真的要好好加油准备考试，这个学期不是表现得很好。在这里不只顾虑学业，也要顾虑到衣食住行，加上打工，所以学业上也分心了。不过，期待新的学期到来，新的学期新的表现！考试期间还要打工，真烦。

看看自己在final的表现如何，再来总结这个学期吧！

现在期待假期的来临，因为假期有朋自远方来，又是和朋友聚一聚的时候了。兴奋兴奋！再来，假期的时候我就要正式到梦寐以求的工作上班了。哈哈！“梦寐以求”在于它的工钱。哈哈！对了，也是今天凌晨的时候得知我被录取的消息，所以这一天还蛮特别的。得到这份工，真是要好好谢谢ShiHui,当然还有我的lucky皮鞋!

final加油！！

p/s:今天可爱的信强21岁生日party，又miss了一个特别的聚会。。。

睡个午觉

2007-05-25T17:27:00.000+10:00

还记得大热天下午睡午觉的感觉吗？

炎日的下午总会唤起缓缓的睡意，尤其是人特别累的时候，那种睡意更强。很奇怪的，有时候热热的天气还比呆在冷气房里还要好睡。当然，我这里现在的天气并没有可以让我享受这样舒适的午觉。只是刚才Heater开了一段时间，整间房有热烘烘的空气，加上早上早起不够睡，就这样侥幸的让我忙里偷一偷闲，小睡了那感觉很像“马来西亚的午觉”。

前一阵子的雨天，和现在的午觉，让我体会到有时候环境虽然变了，但是感觉还是可以一样的。虽然我现在在悉尼，可是我的生活有时候还是可以很有马来西亚的feel的。至少雨天跟今天的午觉是这样的。

人与人的感情应该也可以是这样的。两个人虽然生活在不同的环境，不同的生活方式，但之间的感情依然还可以像当初一样的好。理义最近的redang旅行让我有这样的想法。看了大家redang之旅之后的感想，大家都不忘提到这一点。毕业两年多了，大家有各自各的大学/学院生活，有自己在外头的生活圈子，但大家回到理义这一圈子聚在一起时候，感情还能像高中那样的好，能聚在一起mamak，聚在一起搞活动，聚在一起去redang玩。这一次的redang之旅看得出去的人都玩得很尽兴，怎样看得出？看一看msn title，blog就懂咯。大家可以那么尽兴的玩在一块，肯定很爽!当然也很高兴大家可以有一个那么难忘的回忆。很遗憾没得去，不过没关系，下次回来才join回你们。也很奇怪为什么那些可以去的人为什么不去？也许是因为我在这里才会有这样的想法，如果我还在马来西亚也许并不会这样的想法。哈哈！所以，很多时候总得要失去了才懂得珍惜。

高三理义这一班人不少是被动，没有个个热情如火，也没有个个可以叽哩叭啦讲个不停来带动气氛（至少我属于这一类），感情也没有很轰轰烈烈，但几年来感情依然不错，依然维持着，稳稳定定的细水长流。。。
（注：这一段话纯属个人意见与想法）

没什么

2007-05-21T17:08:00.000+10:00

没什么特别的或什么趣事要写，只是很想update一下我的blog。。。

天气开始变冷了，看来冬天来了吧。不过听说今年的冬天没有比去年的冷，还好！不然手脚快要冻结了，哈哈！不知为何手脚特别的冷，像冰一样冷，一双没有血流的手脚，可以媲美僵尸的手脚。这双手脚只要在冷气房里就可以变得很冰。何况现在在这里。。。这两天有时手可以冷到不懂要怎样写字（好像有点夸张，哈哈！）。还好有朋友们送的手套，可以保一保暖。至于那一样冷冰冰的脚，就要靠那双housemate说很可爱的拖鞋咯。不敢想象到冬天时要怎样过。。。

对了，好像还没在blog里提到我有工作了。哈哈！很幸运的找到一份还满轻松的工作，就是在news agency做cashier啊。基本上都还满意这份工作，虽然工钱不是很多。唯一不满意的是要上早上的shift。那就是说5.30AM就要起床去上班！！！不行啊，很累ler。不过也没办法，还是要做啊。等考完试再找找看能不能找到一份更好的工作吧。

考完试？还有一个月就考试咯。那股读书的冲劲依然没像当初那样的强，真不该。在这里的日子似乎得过且过的，不是很好hor？

好了，要继续努力用剩余的时间好好准备FINAL....

熟悉了

2007-05-15T17:15:00.000+10:00

那天晚上睡前突然回想起初到悉尼，第一次进入现在住着的外宿的感觉，才发现那时候对这里的每一样事物，每一个人是多么的陌生。而现在，这感觉不再是陌生的，是熟悉的。原来我在不知不觉中熟悉了我在这里的生活。我要说的是，熟悉跟适应是不一样的，我可以很快的适应这里的生活，但并不代表我熟悉这里的一切。

熟悉了，日常的生活
熟悉了，现在住在的这间家，这间房间
熟悉了，我的屋友们
熟悉了，上课的时间表与地点
熟悉了，每天经过MainWalk去到Biological School的路程
熟悉了，上Physiology想睡觉的日子
熟悉了，搞不懂Biotech在读什么的时刻
熟悉了，我的早餐，午餐，晚餐
熟悉了，周末/周日要出门买杂货
熟悉了，晚上&周末/周日呆在家里的日子

其实，Life应不应该as simple as it is?

MainWalk

2007-05-03T23:21:00.000+10:00

上完课
拖着疲累的身躯
沿阶梯走下
走在大学的MainWalk
眼前的天空是暗蓝色的
太阳落下的余光
一层红的，一层黄的
残留在那远方的尽头

凉风阵阵迎面吹来
鸟吱吱咋咋喧闹着
人来人往
黑发的，金发的，染发的
去上课？上完课？

几个四方帽在拍照留念
看到孩子毕业
父母的心是感动的
那画面是温馨的
它触起心中的涟漪
几时毕业啊？
羡慕，期待，憧憬

此时有着
平静的心境
饿扁的肚子
好吧！
加快脚步回家煮饭去！
哈哈！

*Enjoy走在大学MainWalk的一刻，希望这一条康庄大道象征着未来的路，那么的宽阔，那么的灿烂。

下雨了！

2007-04-22T19:31:00.000+10:00

下雨了！！！好像有一段时间没有下雨了，今天的倾盆大雨让我有着异常的兴奋。

喜欢躲在家里，外面下着大雨的感觉。尤其是坐在窗前欣赏雨景的那种画面，感觉周围的气氛都沉淀下来了，一切的事情都慢下脚步了，然后就是一种舒服，舒适的感觉。

我的书桌前，就是一片大大的窗，平时没事我都把窗帘拉下（太阳晒啊！）。刚才听到雨声，马上把窗帘拉上，坐在窗前，放下手上的功课，看着雨景，听着雨声，心情开始沉淀起来。

这一天的雨除了让我陶醉在其中之外，也让我想起马来西亚的天气。真得好久没有体验“下大雨”了。在马来西亚经常都可以体验到这种下大雨的感觉，所以并不以为然。来到这里才开始觉得下大雨原来可以让人很enjoy!很特别！哈哈！很多东西当你拥有它的时候，并不觉得它特别，当你失去它的时候才开始想念起它来。

阵阵的雷声当然也让我想起马来西亚啊！不是单纯的想起家人或朋友，是想起整个马来西亚，想起我生长的地方，我的国家。。。还有我的nasi lemak，我的mamak。哈哈！

这里的“下大雨”跟我们那边不一样在这里的雨都很短暂，一下子听了，过一阵子又开始下，下了十几分钟又停了，就这样周而复始的。我们那边一下起雨来就不会停。。。

现在发现原来下雨真好！

两个月咯

2007-04-09T21:40:00.000+10:00

哈哈！

没什么特别东西好写，只想说今天是我离开马来西亚两个月了。。。原来两个月可以这么快就过去了。也就是说我离开回家的时间又少了两个月，不错不错！期待回到悉尼机场的那一刻，因为这一次我就要从悉尼会我的家咯！

这个星期Easter Holiday 不过我没有假期，因为要准备期中考！有四科考试等着我，想要出去玩都难。。。不过昨晚有出去join朋友的welcome dinner,也认识了一班新的朋友。。。

现在又要开始读书了，不然就惨了！

好了！加油加油！！！

21st Birthday

2007-03-26T01:08:00.000+10:00

在悉尼的这一刻，我21岁咯！哈哈！！

还没踏入12点钟之前，我很期待生日的到来。期待有人会跟我说“生日快乐”，期待有人会跟我庆祝我的生日...充满期待的心情！

21岁生日，很多人都认为是个很重要的日子，这个生日意味着正式加入Adult行列。而我的这个重要的生日却要在悉尼这里庆祝，羡慕那些在Malaysia开party庆祝的朋友，更羡慕他们可以聚在一起庆祝。哈哈！很享受跟一大班朋友在一起的时刻，感觉真好。好久没跟高三理义的朋友聚会咯。。。还有INTI的朋友，你们也可以一起在Adelaide庆祝，要enjoy啊！

不过我在这里也不是很惨啦！还有一班屋友跟我庆祝，虽然只是一个小小的庆祝，不过可以让我吹蛋糕，切蛋糕，许愿，我很满足了！生日至少要有个蛋糕庆祝庆祝！哈哈！

以前的生日，12点的时候就会收到一些Birthday Message,很喜欢收到被人祝福的讯息，感觉被重视，幸福！谢谢记得我生日的好友们！哈哈！我在这里的12点，也收到好友的讯息。。。哈哈！凯洋啊，凯洋，谢谢你！还有婉琪，真的很高兴收到你们的message!当然还要谢谢MSN send message给我的朋友们，有你们做我的朋友真的很棒！！！

今天一早醒来，想起家来！原来真的要出国了才知道想家的那种感受。想想，除了小时候跟家人一起庆祝自己的生日外，长大了都很少跟家人一起庆祝了。突然很懒惰去上课，可能太夜睡了吧。还有还有,也很期待今天是很不一样的一天，比如说有个艳遇也不错！娃哈哈！

21岁了，长大了，我觉得应该要真的成长了，要开始懂一懂社会的一切一切，不可以只懂得读书读书。。。人长大了，思想也要长大，要学的东西还很多。。。觉得应该要有改变！

忘了，如宁既然从Malaysia打电话给我！哈哈！我那时还比他紧张他的电话费。我又在想，我的朋友对我浆好，我有对他们浆好吗？我希望他们给我的答案是“有”咯！哈哈。而令我最surprise的是我的生日歌！Kingsley purposely composed one song for me and send it to me thru msn! Kingsley! You are so nice, I am so lucky to have you as my friend!哈哈！当然啦，我也是觉得很幸运认识到所有我认识的朋友。国清老友，很意外收到你的电话，谢谢！

总之，我觉得我这个21岁的生日虽然没有大肆的庆祝，但我却收到很多很warm的祝福，幸福+感动！

21岁的愿望？顺利毕业！脱团！Enjoy my study life and 希望我的家人过的快快乐乐，健健康康！

读书生活

2007-02-26T20:55:00.000+11:00

四个月的蜜月期到此结束。

今天终于开始全新的读书生活。。。陪伴我几个月以来的惰性还缠着我，得想想办法了。呵呵！我想需要一段时间来培养培养那股读书的冲劲。。。加油！

说到第一天去上课，你问我兴奋吗？其实并没有什么特别的感觉。怪？在这里读书的感觉，其实跟在马来西亚读书没什么差，就时间到了就去上课，上完课了就回家。也许还没有认识很多人吧，所以没什么太多的social activities yet。

而今天的课，也只认识了一个香港朋友，因为被动。哈哈！再加上我的情况有点特别，我是first year的third year student 而大部分人是second/ third year的 third year student，所以他们大部分都已经认识对方，不容易参。

另外，我的Physiology class竟然有300多人，人多空气不流通，又闷又热！最重要的是又吵。要我怎样专心上课？So thinking of dropping this subject。

好！接下来的日子要认识多一点人。

新年来咯！

2007-02-20T23:42:00.000+11:00

第一次没跟家人一起过新年，第一次在外国过新年，一点气氛都没。这里的新年与平时的日子没差，所以我一点也感觉不到“新年来咯！”。不过呢，传统是没变啦，还是有红包收，嘻嘻！何解有红包收？因为除夕夜去了另一个Uncle的家的趴地，就在Malabar，靠近Hillsdale的一个Suburb。比起其他没回家过年的Student，我与另外三个朋友算幸运吧！除夕夜还有一顿丰盛的晚餐享用及红包拿。开心开心！

大年初一去哪里？当然没去拜年，不过就去了坐落在Wollogong的佛光山南天寺（听说是南部最大的寺庙）从Sydney过去Wollogong大概要一个小时的车程，坐在车上当然会好好欣赏沿途的风景。途中有绕过Sydney Airport，所以有看到好几架飞机冲上云霄！哈哈！

还没到南天寺之前，我们去了Stanwell Park看了好美好美的山景。Stanwell Park是一个for hang gliding的山顶。那边的景色是我以为只能从wallpaper才会看到的，没想过会如此真实的呈现在我眼前。爽！

至于南天寺，确实又大又美。人很多，简直就是香火鼎盛。到处拍了各个角落的美景，将才能和家人分享分享我到过的地方。我想只有在这里才能感受到新年的气氛。哈哈！

2007年的农历新年就这样的过，非常庆幸在异乡还能庆祝农历新年。高兴高兴！
2007的新年，愿祝大家新年快乐！恭喜发财！万事如意！身体健康！

还有，保佑我可以顺利毕业！好好享受在异国求学的日子！

Sydney 1st Week

2007-02-18T01:16:00.000+11:00

在Hillsdale小住几天的同时，也到了一些地方Gai Gai。第一天傍晚就到了La Perouse看海景，也看到了一些古老的建筑物。而在悉尼的第一个星期天早上，去了Centennial Park疏松一下筋骨，见识到悉尼公园的美。又是一片绿油油的景色，个人特别喜欢。看到这里人的生活是RELAX，RELAX，还是RELAX。平时四五点放工关店，假日就到沙滩，公园Gathering BBQ，真够RELAX！

同一天也到了靠近city的Fish Market，所有新鲜的海产都可以在这里找到。Lobster, Oyster, Salmon Fish，看了就想吃。最后，吃了一盘新鲜热辣的Fish & Chips，爽。哈哈！

对了，对了！星期一回UNSW时，刚从巴士下车时就下起大雨来了，结果淋湿咯。不过，很幸运的有个好心的新加坡人借了把雨伞给我，不然一整天都要淋雨了。因为这场雨下了一整天，给了许多人一个surprise，听说这里通常都不会像我们那边浆下长命雨的。就这样，我在下雨的同时乱闯campus（忘了带map出门），呵呵！

没出门去campus的日子就呆在家里过。睡觉或看电视，没了。这里的电视好在播很多International news，还有有很多reality shows。当然，我在追看的Prison Break跟Heroes这里也有播。

在悉尼的第一个星期还过得蛮舒服愉快的。。。

Hello! Sydney

2007-02-13T00:34:00.000+11:00

2月8日晚上10.40分，一个人体验生平第一次坐飞机的感觉。寂寞加害怕。上了飞机，差点坐错位子。大约半小时后，飞机起飞了。第一次坐飞机，一点感觉兴奋也没有，因为寂寞大于兴奋。。。可悲！就这样，一个人坐在飞机上8个小时，除了与空姐对话之外，就没和任何人交流（因为空姐会问你要些什么，哈哈！）。在飞机上，除了转换小电视的channels之外，也没什么好做的。看了吴宗宪的周日八点党，也没什么好笑的。之后就睡了。。。意思意思睡而已，想到整个过程都是一个人，而且到了悉尼也是一个人，不知该怎么办，哪里还睡得好。。。坐过飞机之后，觉得没什么的，跟你坐在椅子上8个小时没分别，只是飞机上升与下降时比较爽而已。还是云顶的spaceshot比较爽。哈哈！比较坐飞机与看飞机从你头上飞过，后者较过瘾。尤其是站在飞机跑道前看飞机就在你头上两三层楼高的距离最过瘾（Nilai回忆中）。

8小时后，终于到了悉尼。Haih,又是一个人。到了机场，最害怕的是要过custom。因为不知道有没有东西漏了declare。结果是，只有你declare, then you are all right。一切顺利过关！每次看戏，出了custom,就看到有人拿着有名字的牌子接机。我一出来也看到很多类似的牌子，哈哈！只是没有我的罢了。。。就这样一个人在机场绕了绕，终于找到UNSW的reception desk。询问一番后，决定坐shuttle bus去UNSW。Taxi当然会贵很多。这之前，行程都是一个人。。。哈哈！BUT, 在等待shuttle bus的时候，认识了第一个朋友，一个INTI Subang GJS的Engineering朋友。一个人的行程到此结束。。。

到了UNSW的International Student Service Centre, 寄放了我的行李。徘徊之际，遇到了另一个新朋友，也就是现在的housemate。就在我到达悉尼的第一天的下午，就找到了外宿，可以说非常幸运的了。所以，并不需要经历挨家挨户找房子的日子。

下午，去了Hillsdale（暂时的住宿）。路途中，看到一间皮萨店冒烟。。。哗！
对了，在悉尼可以看到很多草地啊，树啊。。。绿绿的，不错！建筑方面，没有像马来西亚这样单调，只有一排排的排屋，这里的屋子各有各的风格与设计。另外一点就是“风”，这里太阳晒，可是有阵阵凉风，走在街上心情也特别好一点。

多亏有ShiHui的邀请，让我暂住她的家，不然就要流浪街头了。ShiHui爸很nice。介绍很多悉尼的天文地理历史文化给我。哈哈！更赞的是带我去她朋友家吃我在悉尼的第一餐晚餐——肉骨茶！前一晚才从肉骨茶胜地出发，到了悉尼后马上就可以品尝到肉骨茶，能不说赞吗？？？哇哈哈！！

原来在悉尼不是一个人。。。

成功了！

2006-12-05T00:01:00.000+11:00

成功了！我成功拿到了UNSW的Golden Jubilee Scholarship。哈哈！兴奋当中。。。原本以为没机会拿的了。能拿到除了要靠成绩也要靠一点运气。其实上个星期四就已经收到UNSW寄来得email，只是还不敢确定真的是我拿到了这个奖学金。一直到今天向 UNSW double check了才敢肯定一切。不过，该寄来得文件还没收到。

当时open mail的时候看到了自己拿到Golden Jubilee Scholarship，真是高兴的不得了。那种情形就像以前我上网check我的初中与高中统考成绩一样，当场叫了出来。那种兴奋好难形容,总之就是爽！有了奖学金我就不用担心要去Australia深造的庞大费用了。也算为自己为家人松了一口气。而且这个奖学金也将让我在Sydney呆两年。如果成绩好

的话还可以以honours毕业。这一切一切都是我自从选择要出国后的顾虑。。。家里够不够钱让我出国啦，能不能读到honours啦，能不能在Australia读多几年书啦。。。

虽然拿到了这个奖学金可以让我除去一些顾虑，但新的顾虑有要来了。我还蛮担心自己不能maintain average 65% and above。这是继续享有奖学金的最基本的要求，可是基于不是很清楚要在UNSW拿到 65%到底有几难，再加上自己低水准的英语，更是让我不得不担心将来自己在那里的表现。不过好不容易才拿到奖学金，肯定不能失去它。要知道我在

last sem的时候可是很努力去争取我最后一个科目的每一分，每天都在算自己要拿到多少分才能达到很有机会拿Golden Jubilee Scholarship的最低要求。我的housemate余同学可非常清楚这一点，因为我每天都在跟他讲我要怎样怎样才能拿到奖学金。最后我的分数还真的与我要的分数差一点点，所以以为没机会了，还好有“幸运“的眷顾。

总之，不会忘记我今天得知拿到Golden Jubilee Scholarship的那种兴奋！

Thank you for those congrat me and thank to Dr Palsan and Ms Kamala who wrote me a reference letter as well as Mr Kingsley that helped me editing my personal statement. At last, thank to Mr Choo Foong Lin for paying hard work through out the study!

我会继续加油的！！

Wedding Dinner

2006-10-28T01:39:00.000+10:00

Just back from a wedding dinner at Shah Alam Dewan MBSA. It was Miss Lalita's wedding, my Microbiology and Immunology lecturer. First time attending Indian wedding, quite special. Hahaha...

There were six of us attending the wedding. Yi Ling, Yeh Sze, Mei Ling, Li Fang and Mei Ling's friend, five of them came from INTI by ktm. Initially, I was supposed to go to ktm to fetch them. But, I could not find out the way to Shah Alam ktm, so they had to take taxi to the Dewan. I had been finding for the ktm for so long but still unable to get there. Dunno why the ktm so hard to reach. There did not have any signboard showing the way to ktm. Haih, luckily we all still reached there in the end. Lol.

First time attending Indian wedding ceremony, the ceremony took quite a long time. And the bride has to do so many many things. Ms Lalita was so diifferent today, so beautiful with the Indian costume and the made up. Beside six of us attending the wedding, Dr Palsan, Dr Ang, Dr Geeta (so many Dr), Mr Chan and other lecturers were also there. Emm, beside the wedding ceremony was special for me, the dinner also special for me. This was because they did not provide the spoon and fork, and so we had to use our hand to eat! Not really used to it, using hand to eat rice and curry. So I did not eat much. Hahaha...Then after eating for a while, we all went up the stage to greet the bride and bridegroom. Of course, we took pictures together lor. And present the "dog lamp" (present) to both of them. Like APCs present antigenic peptide to the T cells la. Hahaha. Study too much liao. I saw the bridegroom face felt that his face looks young. Know wat he told us? He asked us to give him our email address so that he can email us the answers for our final. Lol.

Oh ya, Lee Yi Ling said she will not forget today, not only today is Ms Lalita's wedding, today also has a big incident happened on her. She followed Dr Ang's car back to INTI. She said this is the first time sit in a car with so many genius and Dr. Hahaha. Thanks to me la, I helped you to ask Dr Palsan whether you can follow their car or not. Hehehe.

Three more days to my last final in INTI, back to home now stilll not yet start studying, need to start study already. Gambateh!!!

Last Week In INTI

2006-10-20T19:47:00.000+10:00

16/10 to 20/10, the last week study in INTI...So I told myself I must enjoy the day in INTI before I left. Erm, this week only Monday and Tueday got class, but I stayed back till Friday, because initially Friday also got class. So how was this week? Actually nothing much special about this week la, just that our class got a steamboat gathering at Hui Yi's house on Wednesday night nia. At first, I want to go Bagan Lalang eat seafood la, go Seremban watch movie la, go here go there la, but lazy la, somemore no one want to go out also.

Monday (16/10)

Having class untill 2pm, then went back to apartment sleep. Hahaha. Oh ya, about 5pm then went for badminton with all the ladies...After that mah went to Eastern Tea Corner to have dinner lo, the nasi lemak so lousy this time. Last time "cheap nice delicious" one. Maybe change other people cook the chicken already. Follow by that, wath drama --- "Face to Fate". Should you face to your fate by your own or decide by the God? Hehehe....

Tueday (17/10)

Class started at 10am and ended at 11am. Having lunch together with IMM 201 classmates. Talking about lunch, this week has not taken lunch together with Mr KengKrau, still remember I had my first lunch in INTI with him. This guy got so many stories to tell and you will not get bored with him. And he is so talented in music.Unfortunately, he is not going to Australia together with us. Lol. Back to the day. Then I worked in UPO, earning RM 3 per hour, so little. But the work was easy. I had worked in UPO for 30 hours before for free because of the scholarship agreement. Erm, what did I do during this 30 hours arr? Labelling, arrange the files, enterning data, sending documents to wat wat department, sorting the unwanted offer letters, photocopying and so. Is like a office boy. Lol. The works were really easy but were just too boring, untill I want to sleep during the work. Quite a good experience, as I got to know what a office boy need to do since I do not think I will be doing this in my future, most probably I will be in a lab gua. Then I also get to know the staffs there and easier to get some information for the University applications. Aiyo, out of the day again. So the class continued at 2pm untill 3pm. Then, we went to Pharmacy department and visited their labs. The lab seem like more modern that us one. Aftter that went back to apartment again, you see, sometimes life is so boring. Hahaha...At night, went mamak with both Qiang. That night I watched drama untill 4am ler.

Wednesday (18/10)

Woke up at 11am without having enough sleep. Need to go to Seremban buy food for tonight steamboat. First thing to buy there was the present for Ms Lalita's wedding, is a LAMP dog (try imagine yourself). Then went to the market buy the stuffs needed. Luckily we did not listen to Hui Yi, if not sure got a lot of thing left over. So, Miss Hui Yi, next time remember do not buy so many stuffs. And, Yi Ling, the cheese sousage is really nice!!! Four of us having our breakfast at Kopitiam there, the rendang nasi lemak I ordered was really better than the one I ate on Monday. Nothing much to eat, so had to order nasi lemak again. Back to INTI at 3pm, then prepared to go the Award Presentation. This time getting lesser and lesser people, I also do not feel like attending one. At night then started our steamboat party! YEah! Cindy Yap, you were so pity that you could only eat vege. Lol. Wasted la. Retish, playing card and gambling are two different thing and you should taste the drink I prepared for you (Heneiken + Pepsi). Li Fang, saw you eat a lot woh, good la like that, do not always diet la, should enjoy eating. Yin Er, you so queit, did not talk to you also. Cch, no need so late to come gua! Mei Ling you left so early. Yeh Sze, what should I said about you? Hahaha....Quite a good memory. Let's talk about other previous classmates also. Lol. Irene, this semester should your happiest semester I guess. Rethi, do not get to talk to you quite often, maybe we should chat more in Australia. Edward, you should come out and join us more!! Hahaha...

Thursday (19/10)

Wah, this whole day I finished the drama and did not go out untill dinner time. I watched and watched and watched untill headache liao. Feel so free first time, never experience like this in past semesters. Dinner went out eat with housemates, went to that Hong Kong' Street there. Quite often to eat there last time with Cch, Cindy, Lisa and Koini. Wah, got a lot of things can say in the days in INTI. Late in the night, received a message that Friday's class cancel liao. Nevermind lor, went out for last mamak in INTI lor. Chat chat chat untill 3 sumthing in the morning baru want to go back. These days went out always being the sole male, no choice, my class only got 2 male. Mr Retish is a very obedient child, so could not come out with us. Haih, sigh.

Friday (20/10)

Woke up at 10am and started to pack my things and go back to hometown for one week study week. Must prepare well for my last subject and last final. All the best for my final!! Oh ya, before went home, I went to academic block, my secondary school's students were coming to INTI for visit. SOSAM had also prepared a crime scene to investigate who was the murder together with HIN HUA's students, they will carry out DNA fingerprinting in the lab, looks fun. I also want to join, but I have to go back already. So this was how my last week in INTI. It did not look special but it was a week with freedom and fun. GOODBYE, INTI!

Three weeks holiday is going to end in two more days. Basically, the 1st week was a week for movies and rest. The 2nd week was for IELTS and the last week was the week for drama and preparation for new semester. Next semester is going to be quite free, I have only one lecture for three days and not all the class start at 8 in the morning. However, I think I will have nothing to do during these free time also because there is no internet in my new place. Sigh!

Oh ya! Yesterday, went for a movie with some friends, the movie was "Snake On A Plane". I think the movie was quite good, as least I did not regret to watch it. But the moments you saw the snakes attacked people on the plane were very disgusting. It was not scary, but it was just disgusting, imaging the snake bit on your eyes or your mouth...some even....This was the first movie I watched in cinema during holiday, this period seem like not much nice movie to watch. Know what, during this holiday, always want to find friends out, but every time thinking of who to call, I just can list some. Friends seem like getting less and less and life is getting boring. What to do? I want something new, I want some change in routine day life. Even with high school friends, we just can like play badminton together or just mamak, nothing new we can do....I want to go clubbing, I want night life!!!!

Back to the normal day, sitting in the room, facing the laptop and writing for my blog... Later is going to play badminton, then at night maybe have a mamak because Wee Tat is going back to Taiwan tomorrow. Everything will turn into normal, start new semester, study, write reports and journal, I think the different things are class is split into two for Immunology and Biotechnology and I am staying in a new place.

These days the friends around are having some problems. Is it lucky not having this problem? Haha...At least they have a try on it, me not yet. What is the problem, do not know. Relate to personality, most probably.

So many things to write...because long time did not write already, but I feel like this blog is just a record...Need some new elements! What else to "record"? Emm...IETLS, do not how was the result, I am not worrying about the overall band but I am worried about the individual bands. My writing sure die, because I had nothing much to write. Haih. Luckily I had attended the workshop, the workshop was very useful, it taught you a lot of skills, especially in reading. Reading needs a lot of skills. Know what title for my speaking test? It was about a film that I had watched. I talked about "The Triangle", a movie with Bermuda Triangle. It is going to show in Astro, if you are interested can go and watch it.

In the end.. ..This is a boring afternoon, anyone want to call me out? Hehehehe....

Genting Trip

2006-08-14T01:37:00.000+10:00

Wah, what a tired day! Just came back from Genting Highland after two nights staying there. The trip was quite fun because the weather was too good that you can play whatever you want to play at the outdoor themepark. Somemore, there was not a lot of people and so you don't have to wait for too long for your turn to play. This was the first time I went to Genting that I can play at the outdoor themepark there for the whole day untill the moment it closed. The first time I played at the night for the outdoor. For me, it was really worth to pay for the RM 36 entrance fee!! It was just FUN!!

This time, I am going with S3SJ's friends and there was 8 of us. 8 guys in the trip. I went up with Chee Fong and Wen Jye at Friday night and reached there about 11pm. A long long traffic jam to reach First World Hotel. We were just hanging around at Friday night and had a coffee at Coffee Bean there. It was cold and the wind was keep blowing onto your face, I like the feel. I wonder Klang or Nilai is like that all the time. Lol.

Yeah, Saturday was the most fun and exciting day for the trip, as it was the day for outdoor themepark. If I am not mistaken, the first game we were playing was the Corkscrew. The last time I came, it was underconstruction, this time I managed to play it, Yeah! After that, we played a lot of different rides available there. Since it was a shinny day, most of the rides were operating. We played Pirate train, Spinner, Cyclone, Bumper Boats, Space Shot and Sungei Rejang Flume Ride. I think among 8 of us, me, Chee Fong and Tee Tiang played the most. We had played Space Shot for three times (the last time was in the night and this was the first time I played Space Shot in the night), Corkscrew for at least five times, Cyclone five times, Spinner three to four times and once for the rest. Of course we also went and played the indoor Bumper Car even tough our ticket was only for outdoor. Hahaha...If the person incharge check our ticket, for sure we will be so embarrassing.

I think the most fun one should be the Sungei Rejang Flume Ride even tough we had waited for at least 45 minutes for our turn. We all got wet after the ride. Lol. Me and Jian Yuan were riding the last boat and me kept splasing water toward the people in the front boat. Imagine your whole body got wet while you were in Genting cold weather. Fun Fun Fun! At night, we wanted to ride for another time but we did not manage to do so as we were late to get there. Playing Space Shot was scaring but the feel was fun and relax. The most enjoyable and relaxing ride should be the Spinner. It was like you swing in the air. Close your eyes and keep your mind relax, feel the wind and mist and breathe the cold air. I would say we were at the right time to have chance to play all the rides. All of us were tired and went back to room after a one-day outdoor themepark play.

Another memorable trip. Now expecting for some other FUN FUN events during the holidays and hope I can do my best in IELTS. Good Luck!!

The Fourth Semester

2006-08-11T01:07:00.000+10:00

The fourth semester final has come to the end. This time final only got 3 subjects, the least subject compare to the previous semester. The papers were not as hard as the lecturers said, quite ok to do the questions. Out of the three subjects, Biochemistry and Microbiology were the subjects with provided tips and all the questions in the paper were exactly as in the tips provided. Sometimes, I was wondering what is the purpose for exam? For those who just study for tips can score well in the paper and for those who study hard for all the topics not always can score well since not just study for the tips, so what you get from your effort is not equal. Equity? Management got study this topic, a manager must manage to set up an equity among his subordinate for a successful management.

Hopefully I am manage to get the result I want and apply for the University that I wish I can get some "attractive" offers from them. The ending of the semester meaning that I do not need to attend the stupid Genetics lecture class anymore. Not because of the subject problem, is the lecturer too weird that none of us can bear with her. I would prefer to have male lecturer than female, female is emotional animal. Stop wasting my time describing the stupid old woman, let's mention something about my holiday.

This time I am having three weeks holiday, is a good time to relax myself. However, I had registered for IELTS so need to spend sometime to prepare for it. Emm, this holiday is the first time that our class not having any trip to anywhere. Quite sad, right? Nevermind la, since I still can have a trip to Genting with S3SJ's friends.

Oh ya, next semester is a short semester with only two months and is also my last semester. Hopefully all the things can progress smoothly!

Busy study life

2006-07-14T22:41:00.000+10:00

Long time did not update my blog...Sigh, too many works to do untill no time to write a new post. What to do? Too many journals and reports to write untill no time to rest properly. Whenever need to submit a report or journal that week, then I will not have enough time for rest and sleep.

Luckily, now most of the journals and reports have been settled down. So far, still got some journals and a report to do. Also, still leave one subject for Test 2. It is always like that, when you have finished all the works, then the final is around the corner. Now is already week 11, 2 more weeks for lecturer then soon will have final. Hopefully I can enjoy my semester break very soon....Hehehe....Then, continue my study for the last semester in INTI.

Oh ya, let's write some interesting things for the past few weeks...or months? Hahaha....Emm, at the end of last month, I had gone to INTI's BALL with a very former dress code, which was the first time I wore so formal for a dinner. However, the BALL was not as interesting as what I expected before. It was just a normal dinner, the only different thing was you wearing a coat or a gown for the dinner. Lol. Somehow, the food was still ok la, nothing much about the programme lor, just the MC talk talk on the stage there. Somemore the lousy PA system made the speech not being heard very clearly.

After the ball, we just went for clubbing lor. Actually not clubbing also, we just went for drink, because there was too many people over there and Ithink most of us were quite tired already that time. I watched the penalty of Argentina vs. Germany at there, I supported Argentina at that time, but they lost. Again, a new place I went and I knew for clubbing in KL. A new choice for next time. Lol.

Besides, I had organized one event called "PS II Gaming Contest" recently. The response during the time for registration was not so good, only when the contest going to start then more people interested in joining. Quite a new and good experience in organizing this event, this was totally different from the last events I had organized. The last event was just went for a trip, nothing much. I am thinking whether should I choose to organize another new event next semester or I choose to do the community services. This "PS II Gaming Contest" really inspired me in organizing event, hehehe....But organizing an event is really time-consuming, after the event I have to rush for my journals which need to be submited on the next day of the event. Luckily, I still managed to submit it. Then on that day itself, which was yesterday la, me and clsmates went to Seremban 2 to watch movie, the "Re-cycle". My commend is, if you hoping to get scared or you think this is a ghost movie, then you better do'nt waste your time and money to watch in cinema la, it is more worth if you can download it from internet. Sigh, really wasted my time and money to watch that movie. But, nevermind la, tomorrow I am going to watch another new movie, the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", this is a movie which i expected to watch for so long. Hope it will not disappoint me la......

理义06‘之旅 -- 椰壳洞

2006-05-07T16:44:00.000+10:00

5月6日，理义一行17人前往怡保椰壳洞进行继毕业旅行后一个开心冒险之旅。大伙一早七点钟集合在南方镇的茶餐室吃早餐 -- 肉骨茶！介绍一下此行的三辆战车，分别有斌梧车，展昆车和伶俐车。从巴生到椰壳洞，大约要180多公里，费时两粒钟。伶俐战车有我，常常收不到channel的俊强，还有三个傻傻的慧卿，碧英和伶俐。我们车的气氛还不错，有好笑的也有冷的（感谢俊强），哈哈！！旅途还真远，所以我多数时间都跟俊强讲一些无聊的话题，浆驾车才不会浆“显”。在去的旅途中，我们的车是最辛苦的，因为我们的斌梧哥驾车太快了，害我要死命加速去追。

大概十一点钟左右，我们就到达椰壳洞了，不过我们还是迟了一点去走grand tour，所以只能选择第三条的路线。大家边用绳子绑好拖鞋就开始进入椰壳洞咯！一开始的旅程我们需要爬很多很多的阶梯，一直爬，一直闻蝙蝠大便的臭味。一路可以看到畸形怪状的石头，有的像大象，有的像乌龟，有的像人，还有没奶喝吊颈自杀的恐龙。哈哈哈！！看到越建越高的阶梯，真的很佩服那些建阶梯的工人，也很敬佩大自然的奥妙！你可以看到高高的，要不懂几百年才形成的钟乳石，也可以看到很深很深的石坑。石壁上也有许许多多的字迹。虽然我们给的是第三路线的入门票，但我们还是有机会走grandtour的半个路程，因为导游offer给我们的！当然要请他喝kopi咯！Ermm...我觉得整个行程最刺激好玩的是走水路的时候。浸在冰冷的水里走来走去，爽！最爽的时候当然是大家用水喷来喷去的时候咯。我记得有一part是很好玩的，就是要从高的一处沿斜面滑下来，还有点怕怕！还好我不是第一个滑下来的！嘻！另外就是要钻进一个小洞然后进入水路。很冒险，刺激！！在水路时，有时候因为顶部太低，所以要趴在水中穿过。赞！本来只需两个小时多的时间就可走完整个路线就因为我们的贪玩，一直在玩喷水，结果拖到差不多要三粒钟，我们在步出椰壳洞的出口。在椰壳洞里所见的，所玩的，只能说爽！爽！爽！

椰壳洞后，我们就到Bidor美罗吃午餐，就是那里最出名的药材鸭面。好吃！好吃！Oh ya，在从椰壳洞出来的收费站，我们的战车在急转弯时发生了小小的惊人画面，把全车吓到了，当然包括司机我啦！没有啦，只是在转弯时发生了少许的技术上的问题。哈哈哈！！就这样，在美罗吃了药材鸭面，买了一些好好吃的土产，什么鸡仔饼啦，老婆老公二奶饼啦...那边的蛋搭和芋角very sedap!过后就回家咯...我们的车的队友一起吃了晚餐后才dismiss...

Laughable Mistake !!!

2006-05-05T01:09:00.000+10:00

Today do not have any class to attend because according to my timetable, Thursday is whole day lab. Since this week is first week, I have holiday for the first week Thursday. Therefore, I slept untill very late, woke up in the noon and then planning to go somewhere with friends. In the end, we decided to have a movie at Seremban Terminal 1 Shopping Centre. It is about 20 to 30 minutes drive from INTI. There were five of us included me, vincent (new roommate), kar choon, zhen qiang and jenn jye. We departed at around 2 pm and reached Terminal 1 at 2.30pm. We had just missed the 2.30 pm show for M:I:3. Sigh. What to do? Went for lunch lor. I did not eat anything for the whole half day, so we went to eat KFC and chat a lot over there because need to wait for long time for the next show. Since five of us were from same secondary school, we chat a lot about some past life in secondary school. We somemore discussed on how much is the power of our spectacle since we all are spectacled. Hahaha!!! I was asked if I can see the KFC slogan -- "it's finger lickin' good" without my spec. Free untill nothing to do. Afterward, we went for round and round of window shopping over there to wait for the next show. We were lucky as we saw one cyber cafe was having promotion for free access internet and gaming, so we could spend our time in the free charged cyber cafe.

Around 5 pm, we had our long waiting movie -- Mission Impossible III which was casted by Tom Cruise (Ethan Hunt), Maggie Q (Zhen) and Michelle Monaghan (Julia). I think this movie was quite nice, but the front part was a bit boring. The action and adventure part was really made people feel excited. For me, the special part in this movie was the scene of cars chasing and actor shooting along the road that always seen it happens United State in film but now happened in Shanghai, China. The last part of the movie was mostly filmed in China, seem special and creativity. When Ethan is going to save Julia, you can hear Tom Cruise said two chinese words which are 走开 and 小心...Lol, first time hear him said chinese. Overall I did not regret to spent my time to watch this movie, because sometimes you paid for RM 9 but you watched a suck movie! Somemore, this movie I just paid for RM 5 by using student card.

When finished the movie, we were going to get our car. Know what? We could not find our car!!! I was shocked that time and really scared, we thought that my car was being stole. Oh my god, how come??? We searched and searched over the parking area and still we could not find the car. Kar choon pressed the alarm and followed the sound to find my car. I was really worried about my car that time. Actually, we did a laughable mistake! The car was in level 1 and we thought it was somewhere in level 3 or level 4 or level 5. Huh, how stupid I am that I did not remember where my car was and thought that it was lost. Lol. A laughable mistake I made in Seremban that I would never forget and this experience told me: Please do not forget where you car parked wherever you go, it could lead you to a laughable mistake.

The Return Of Study

2006-05-01T01:34:00.000+10:00

Time flies fast, two weeks of holidays come to the end soon. What have been done during these two weeks holiday? Erm...Went for a trip and then just stayed at home. Staying at home can be boring but after a tired study for the whole semester, really feel relax in home. Last semester, even weekend backed to home, still very busy with reports and journals, no time to relax in home as well. In this relaxing and boring period, just surfing the net and playing some games. Oh ya, also got played badminton lor. Quite long time didn't play badminton, not really good in playing but enjoy the sweating and tiredness after sport (seldom do it during study), also enjoy the time gather with friends. Of course, sure got yam cha with friends lor.

Actually, before the holiday, got plan to do something in holiday but seem like didn't make it. Maybe holiday make people lazy. Ah, talk about laziness, during holiday, really lazy and slept a lot. Very happy that I can sleep and awake without alarm, because during study in last semester, very busy with reports and exams, so most of the time not enough sleep. But, in holiday, dunno sleep how many hours per day, really SONG!!! Hahaha...Then, also got think about where to go and grab some information about the study in Australia and UK from many resources. Hard to make a wise decision. Then, I remembered yesterday I watched one movie -- I am not stupid too 2 ! A nice movie to watch, fun and touching. But the story line and the main idea is just quite similar with the episod one. Erm...Learn one special thing from this movie, that is the "FAMILY" word, which can mean "Father And Mother I Love You". Wah, really suite...Good and nice word with special and simple meaning! Creative!!!

Trip to Pulau Pinang

2006-04-21T05:23:00.000+10:00

The last day in Langkawi and we were moving toward Pinang. It was another long journey to reach Pinang. We first took ferry to Kuala Kedah and then we needed to take a bus to Alor Setar. The thing that make me so interest about Alor Setar was the bus station there all were very cute and colourful, it was not like the bus station in K.L. or Klang. Soon, we reached the terminal bus station and took another bus. I thought this would be the last transport needed to reache Pinang, but it was not. The bus will reach Butterworth and we still need to take ferry again to reach Pinang. So, ferry --> bus --> bus --> ferry, then reached our second destination for this trip. Yi ling's friends were our tourist guide in Pinang, two new friends we knew -- youqiang and shisheng. We first left our luggage in Sunway Hotel then we had our dinner in Face Steak House. Since it was raining again, we could not have our dinner in the hawker centre. Oh ya, we celebrated cindy and kingsley birthday over there. What we did next? Hahaha... We watched a boring movie called "轮回" -- a japanese horrible movie but was not really horrible instead was boring. A film by JU ON 1 & 2 director. Haih, disappointed. The rain was stopped and the time for eating comes ( Pinang is a food paradise). We went to Northam Bay Cafe, the 香港云吞面 there was delicious. Oh ya, the 福建面 in Pinang is not the same with 福建面 at Klang, it is 虾面 in there.

At night, some of us were so tired and went to sleep while other (including me lah) start drinking the 5 L "Franzia" wine. The wine taste like fruit juice and nice to drink. However, it was still a wine with alcohol and if you drink much sure you will get drunk. 90% of the population was drunk at that night, not to say drunk lah, but to say in high situation. 5 L of wine woh, seven of us finished in one night. Lol. I had a nice sleep after drinking the wine, I think I drank quite a lot and get into high situation again as the night in Eastin Hotel.

The second day, I had Char Kuay Tiao for my breakfast. We went and visited a new tourist spot in Pinang, the toy museum. I found the two character that I loved so much when I was child -- Ninja Turtle and Mask Rider!! Of course you can find a lot of other toy in the museum and for those who loves toy very much, this place is really suite you. I took a lot of photos for the toys I like. Before we left Pinang, we went to eat again. I would say the prawn mee i ate for my lunch was very very delicious, and also the duck rice. Another food I want to recommend was the 麻辣面, a food that you should try it!! Ice kacang also need to try! Soon after finished our lunch, we went on the bus to Pudu station and ended our trip. That night, I reached home at around 10 in the night. I would say this was really a great and wonderful trip.

Trip to Pulau Langkawi Day 2

2006-04-21T04:36:00.000+10:00

Day two in Langkawi...We woke up late in the morning, in our plan we should be ready at 8.30 in the morning but we were only ready at 9.30 am. Our tourist guide was a Malay girl called Anna ( Yvonne call her Anak and she is very friend with her, a friend after the bar tender..Hahaha!!) She is a thin malay girl without tudung ( not the Siti style). We get on the boat and moved toward Pulau Dayang Bunting (孕妇岛). At the pregnant maiden lake, we swam in the fresh water and took some photos. We played banana boat but it was not really fun because the boat was just turn over for one time only. Somemore, since it was not at the sea, there was no wave and not excited lor. Another thing we did was we jumped into the water together and shouting for some words. A suggestion from our creative master -- kingsley. I had been to this lake in December 2004, it was the first time I went to Langkawi. The trip with S3SJ's friends and have a lot of fun with them as well when we were there.

After that, we went to another island called Pulau Beras Basah (According to cindy its chinese name is "湿米岛"). It is an island with the beach that people can play the parachute. This game really new to us but it is too expensive to play, so we just played around the beach. I was burried using sand by friends, pity!!I think nothing special events happen on this island just that the sea water was a bit dirty that I saw many "floating things". The last time when I was in Langkawi, I did experience snorkelling in Pulau Payah but this time I did not have the chance, probably a sad thing for the trip. Soon, we back to our hotel and I start waiting for my turn to bathe again.Lol. We had our lunch at KFC and then we went to buy chocolate and liquor at the duty free shops. I was looking for the Beryl's chocolate from shop to shop and finally found it. I did not buy much chocolate because short of fund, hahaha. We were then at Eagle Square, at there to take pictures. We have our dinner at the mamak store there, the food was really delicious. Nasi lemak is nice, nasi goreng ayam is nice, cendol is nice, lincheekang is nice...It was a tiring day and I slept soon after I had my bath while other were playing with cards and drink liquor. Heard that few of them was drunk...

Trip to Pulau Langkawi Day 1

2006-04-21T03:39:00.000+10:00

After a night in Eastin Hotel, we started our journey to Pulau Langkawi at 10 in the morning. We departed from Pudu bus station. The trip members included me, cch, kingsley, cindy, lisa, koini, yvonne, yeh sze, li fang and yi ling. It really took a long time to reach Langkawi if you are taking a bus. I was sitting in the bus from 10 in the morning untill 6 in the evening. We reached Kuala Perlis at 6 something and needed to rush for the last ferry to Langkawi and luckily we were there on time, if not...After a long bus journey, we needed to spend another 45 minutes in ferry to reach Kuah. The time we reached our destination was around 8 pm. We rent a car at there and went to our hotel -- Eagle Bay. To save cost, we just booked for one room and imagine 10 fellows need to sleep in one small room for two nights, but somehow we did it. Lol.

Everyone was hungry since we just sat in the bus and only ate bread for our breakfast and lunch the whole day. We searching for food to eat and finally we decided to have our dinner in a chinese restaurant -- Island (爱人) restautant. The food was quite expensive and we just simply ordered some food that look nice. Hahaha, felt full after having the dinner. Oh ya, while we were searching for food, I saw one fast food shop called KLG, a shop that tend to copy KFC. We did not much things in the night, after buying stuff for breakfast, we went back to hotel. It took a long waiting time for my turn to shower, ten people but only one bath room, is like that one la. Somemore, to be gentle, three guys should the last to bathe. We played card for the night and the game called "mafia". A funny thing I made when I was the moderator was I said " Muffin, wake up!"...Lol. Where got muffin? Hahaha! That was the first night in the Langkawi and it was raining for the first night in Langkawi.

A night in Eastin Hotel

2006-04-21T03:18:00.000+10:00

14th April 2006, I finished my semester exam for Genetic, Biochemistry, Management & Organization and Biology of Organism. I had been continuously study for the whole month for several tests and then for the final, felt released once finished the last subject of the exam.Lol...The next I am going to have a trip with my DSCAU classmates. Our destinations are Pulau Langkawi & Pinang!

On April 15, we have birthday celebration in Eastin Hotel for Cindy's birthday. This was the first time I being invited to a birthday party in hotel. The food there was very nice and delicious.Erm, actually nothing special about the party for me ( just a night having dinner in Eastin Hotel) but I think for the Chong Hwa's friends, this night will be a very nice gathering. If S3SJ has such gathering, for sure everyone will enjoy it very much. The atmosphere was touching and they sang a lot of touching songs. I remembered got one girl that she sang a very nice song but I forget what was the song already, hahaha! Wondering if my S3SJ will have this kind of gathering soon in the future. S3SJ's friend, faster has a birthday party lar!! Oh ya, one thing need to be mentioned, our INTI representative Mr Cch sang "安静" that night and be our INTI hero.Lol.

The party end at 10 something, but our nigth did not end and just went to our room and sleep, instead we went to "Rush" for clubbing. Clubbing is costly especially in saturday night. There was a lot of people waiting outside and lot of people enjoying their drinks and dancing inside. I saw a lot of cars parking outside the club and saw some familiar faces from INTI. Now just i realised that this club is quite famous. Soon we entered and searching long time for a place for us to dance. Who were there for clubbing? Oh, me, cch, yin er, mei ling, koini, lisa and yeh sze were there! I had "vodka" at there and I think "rum" (hope I did not spell wrongly) is nice. Everyone dance there and I felt very hot since there was a lot of people (really a lot of people). Quite enjoy myself over there, ya this was the second time i went for clubbing. Nice experience I think. But I dun like the songs there. We were there untill the club closed at 2 or 3 something, I can't really remember the time. After that we went back to our room in 18th floor.

After a tiring clubbing, everyone was exhausted and start preparing for sleep as tommorow we need to go to Pulau Langkawi at 10. Erm, we ate some fruit before sleep, compulsory fruits from the hotel. Actually I planned to sleep already, but then Cindy's Chong Hwa friends wanted me to play cards with them. We played 锄大D, loser will need to have a cup of beer. We finished about 6 botols and 6 cans of beer. Of course, I did not drink much but still i felt dizzy and luckily did not drunk. Just felt high..Lol. I knew some new friends from Chong Hwa that night, they are yongjie(from ktar study finance), jingqin(from inti study engineering), zhongyi(from utar study construction management), shaohui(going to Melbourne) and other I forgot the names. When you drink beer, you can establish friendship fast.Lol. That night some of us did not sleep and just fool around the whole night. A special night in Eastin Hotel.....

DSCAU's dinner at Eastin Hotel...

Yeah! Back one don't pull...Taking picture la...

2006-03-26T03:49:00.000+11:00

This is the new blog I published recently and I have moved some posting from my last blog. Hope to write down something that is memorable in life and view it in my future that what I have done in the past days. And as my one of my friend said " to show you where you have been in life", so I want a blog, a simply blog to keep the things I want. And this is the blog!
