It's always easier said than done. You can do it when you succeed to persuade yourself.
At the end of this semester, a decision should be made on whether to leave Australia for 6 months or 1 year on a study abroad program in UK. hmph, why is there so much things to decide and worry about?
Ahh life, I can't make lemonade. urgh.
ready to kick start the journey?
(my footprint from hospital when I was 9 months old in 1995)
Life during summer has been good. I am pretty sure I'm gonna fall in love with it soon.
Being sociable isn't that easy for me. In comparison with some of my friends, without a doubt I will probably be the noisiest one among the gang. However, the moment when I need to meet new friends - ohh, one word. awkward.
I get to know more friends in uni, I'm not sociable, but really thank God for giving me a friend who is really really really sociable. haha, can't describe how sociable my friend is. However, the first impression my friend has on me was bad, oh not that bad though. She thought I was the 'coolest' person in the world! When both of us talked about this, we laughed out loud.
So, yes, I reckon I should take Communication as my electives in order to improve my social skills. bahhh. In fact, according to many, I'm talkative. I talk too much. Of course, to clarify, this happens only when the person I'm talking to likes talking as well!
Everyone tends to stay in their comfort zone. When I have close friends around me, I will not bother to meet new friends! (hmmm, not good!) Anyways, I'm starting to love meeting new friends, different people and different cultures! I smell adventure!!!
Oh well, these people conquered my house last night. Steamboat, followed by a birthday surprise & movie marathon from 10pm - 4am in the morning. Everyone was too tired to go home and decided to sleep at my place!
After 4 hours sleep, a really old cranky man (yes, he's probably getting grumpier for he needs to work in the early morning) woke all of us up when he was repairing the neighbours garage gate. UH-HUHHH.

Lala. I can't wait for the girls talk tomorrow night. Another party is on. Before uni comes back into my life! Summer semester officially starts next Monday, and sadly I have 8am classes from Monday to Thursday. Oh wish me luck!
For those who are going on vacation/already enjoying their holidays in Malaysia, yes I AM JEALOUS and stop making me jealous.
My phone rejects all photos of durians, laksa, shopping centres and also, the sky.
Aiya, it is the last day of Spring, but it feels like winter. Believe it or not I'm wearing my winter pyjamas. At the same time when I'm typing this, I'm tutoring my sister on Maths B (it is seriously killing me, it was so easy back in my Year 11!). And also, I'm bitting my green apple to ease my gastric pain but it seems to be making me more hungry. Apparently having afternoon tea isn't a wise decision as you will probably skip your dinner!
this might be a point-less post, I have nothing to do when sister is doing the sample questions.
it's November now. This year has been a really short year, don't get me wrong, there is still 24 hours a day, 30 days a month and 365 days a year for 2013, but I just felt like.. i'm only up to June 2013. A few words to conclude my 2013 - A far off memory for a scattered dream. or perhaps, the other way round, a far off dream for a scattered memory. nah whatever.
There is a time for everything - let's call it the cycle? time to weep, time to mourn, time to laugh and time to play! And I believe God has assigned me the right cycle to follow.
However, I'm afraid to recall, such a big coward to remind me those stupid memories. For the people, for all the chaos. However, the only thing that I would like to remind myself is my courage to give up on explaining - to those who love to think the way that they want to. I get really tired of doing the same old thing all the time, despite of my determination to do it differently, I'm afraid to do it, to do the new thing. And therefore, I gave up to get out of the rut. For the days in future, I need this sweet little reminder. Everyone needs it anyways!
Which was worse when left unexplained? A life? Death? Nahh, not such a big deal, at least I thought it is not. It's probably just a few second of the scattered memory, which is, yes, only deserves a few second.
But more than enough for a reminder.
Just like what a friend advised me: for a person who comes blank in your mind, without that explanation, you lose nothing. so why bother it?
Yes, I've learned the lesson hard. I mean it.
Of course, to be optimistic, I can exaggerate my happiness in 2013! Really really counting the blessings where I got the chance to travel around with awesome friends. First was Sydney followed by Tasmania! Nothing's better than travelling around, snapping photos and of course, eating ahaha
Oh wait, I should stop here, leave the rest for my 2013 conclusion post!
It's the third day after exams, and I'm feeling bored. Opps, sorry I didn't mean to be sarcastic to those who are still having exams this week. I'm pretty sure you guys will feel the same way as me after exams.
The post-exams syndrome? NAHHH not PTS-ing.
Of course, after exams, you get relieved from stress, and you start to question yourself: what should I do? Cleaning? Watching dramas? Shopping? Or for guys, gaming?
You take out your to-do list which you have written during exams period, there are 20 of them.
But then you are too lazy to start the first task.
Thank God I braced up all my determination on Saturday morning and washed my car. It was a sunny morning and I was exposed to that scorching sunlight for at least 3 hours. I was sweating over once I finished it! (Guess what, there will be thunderstorm in Brisbane for this coming week. oh plssss!)
Then I did my laundry, cleaned my room and settled all the billing stuffs. Headed to church for fellowship, and so concluded my Saturday. Well-spent but seriously exhausted.
Sunday! A morning with God and headed to IKEA after our korean lunch. Somehow I really love IKEA shopping although it is tiring. We spent more than 2 hours there! Got some stuffs for the house but yes, I gotta visit IKEA anytime soon. (blahh.)
Finally, back to gym. Once again I am feeling alive. Running on treadmill for 30 minutes + 15 minutes cross-training + some weight-lifting. The night after, my body was really sore, uhh but the feeling was gooood!
Yea and MONDAY which is today, I woke up late. Sister expected me to prepare breakfast for her but I slept in. A 9 hours sleep from 9.30pm to 6.30am - feeling so refresh! Cooked a really big breakfast to pamper myself, with my favourite green matcha smoothies in the jar. It was a really good kick off breakfast.
However, I got tired/impatient while waiting for an electrician to come to settle the solar system problem. I was lying on my couch watching the TV and felt so lifeless (LOL) Finally, he came, switched on a power switch and left in 5 minutes. I was like O.O cos he could have instructed me on the phone cos it was really super easy to do! Just to get the switch on, that's it. But still, he must be so helpful to come all the way down from (lol, somewhere out there) to help me.
In the mid-day, I got a phone call from an unknown number and was told that my piano was on the way! WUHOOOOO. Oh yeaa my baby is here now, right in front of me.
Apparently I was too lazy to drag myself to gym - too lazy to drive! So I decided to go some toning workout and cardio at home muahahaha. The links below are the workout that I've done today. Try them!
I personally love the Victoria Secret abs workout, it was tough at the beginning when I first started to do it few months ago, but it's getting easier!
Oh I have gained weight! ARGH, I can foresee that during study week and exams period, but still, I felt really grumpy and even scolded myself for the lack of discipline on my food cravings. The main cause of my weight gain is probably because of the eating patterns and lifestyle within these three weeks. I did not get much chances to move around, my butt could stick on the chair for more than 10 hours per day (except going toilet and showering). Meanwhile, we had all those snacks to keep us awake, and I'll never forget the night when all of us were struggling on whether to open that bag of chips or not! opppsieee. Also, 3 cups of espresso EVERY morning has eventually made my body so toxic I guess. Time for detox heyy.
Time to shed some kilos away for the summer! (sounds so familiar, bahaha)
Procrastination doesn't work - don't slack! Cheers for a healthier body and better lifestyle.
ahahaha, sorry for this long and lame post. Off to dinner & of course followed by a dessert session! (Yes, I'm still enjoying good foooood!)
Hi, the last day of swot vac. Thank God, I'm still alive.
To sum it up,
1. The BSL fighting group
I totally forgot who came up with this idea to create a FB group. All of us should really thank the founder of BSL fighting group. I felt really thankful and blessed to be in one of the members. Those girls and boys in the study group have eventually made 'studies' easier (by a weeee bit). Oh, why is it named as BSL fighting group? Cos our group is rooted to Biological Science Library - the 24 hours study space.
The funniest thing was we are now friends with the old security guard. Remember there is this thin old man who is always punctual, checking our Student ID at 8pm, scolding us for being toooo noisy and also, waking us up if we fall asleep? Yes, that's our new friend! In fact, he is quite friendly.
BSL is the newest library in UQ and everyone likes to study there for its new environment. So I reckon that is one of the reasons why we named the group as BSL fighting group. Not only on studies, but fighting on the group room reservation. Early bird owns the room! Thank God we managed to have a room for at least 6 hours every day during swot vac. And we are seriously in love with Group Room 6 in level 3.
2. Coffee
I can't emphasis enough HOW MUCH I HATE COFFEE now. But I need the caffeine. *sob. All of us have been drinking at least 3 cups of coffee since last friday. Nah, we got them for free! As there is this coffee machine at the side kitchen of International House (one of my friends lives there), and we help ourselves!
Now is the caffeine resistance that worries me a lot, perhaps my body cells have this resistance to fight against caffeine, even three shots of espresso do not work on me! Then the night before this I tried MOTHER and it tastes seriously bad - just like the 'dettol'. I had a few sips and started feeling dizzy so I guess I should really stop drinking caffeine now.
Noted I'm not addicted to coffee, but sick of it.
3. FOOD
All the food lovers gather in the study group! Our new love is the chocolate MARS PODS muahaha. In contrast, we ate a lot of fresh cucumber slices. Yes, at least we can claim that we reached that healthiness equilibrium.
4. Sleep
5 hours sleep is enough for us, but after two days of having only 5 hours sleep, all of us were just like zombie. So on Tuesday, all of us decided to have a really good sleep so that our 'battery' get recharged! That night... I went to bed at 8.30pm and woke up around 5am. FELT SUPER DUPER SHUANG LAH. but too much sleep made me tired again.
what the heck is all of these hormones doing inside our body?
anyways, it comes to an end and it's time to get involved in that WAR!
In 7 days time, I'll be free free freeeeee oh yeahhhh.
