Things not to do in a winter night...

1) Drink cold water

2) Eat ice cream

3) Open the window

4) Bath in cold water late at night

5) Wear shorts, T-shirts, slippers and wander out into the streets

6) Walk about bare footed on non carpeted floor

7) Use a flimsy piece of cloth as a blanket

8) Sleep under the window when it's opened

9) Sleep half naked

10) Spoil the only heater in the room

Hmm.. For those who think they're 'strong' and 'able-bodied' enough to do anything of the mentioned above, i congratulate you... Of course 1-9 includes the fact that the heater is not switched on at all..

Well, that's all for now.. Cya and cheerios...

Ps: I'm 2 hours ahead, this is my nth time saying that... I can't possibly stay up until 2 am when you people come in at 12am right...

Glad you're doing fine over there. Seriously, you and CC should really appreciate the chance given to you to experience living overseas and truely enjoy yourselves there. Of course, studies must always come first.

Hmmm... seems like you guys will also have lots of opportunities to have flings eh? Haha... I tell you, it's been hell for me these couple of weeks. School's gonna start, but I'm totally not ready. Really, I don't know if I made the correct choice by going into SMU. Alright... orientation was ok... know a couple of friends... but somehow I feel some difficulty fitting in. Simply put... Ppl I met majority were from NJC, ACJC, TJC, RJC etc... They have that 'head above the rest' aura... And the others whom were slightly more familiar are those 'poseur' snobs. Perhaps it's abit early... but I just feel the pressure mounting on me.

Besides mentally stressed out... I've been on an emotional roller coaster too... Probably better description on my own blog. But let's just say, I really hate to be kept guessing about where a relationship is heading towards. Since nothing has been set in stone... I think I'm just gonna pul out early... and stop sinking deeper. Yup, Singlehood once again....

Well, we have lived for the past couple of years being single... don't see why we can't now right? Easier said than done... still in utter denial and not willing to accept the fact actually... Yes, I have seriously broken down... this emotional and mental stress has gotten into me thoroughly.... How I wished you guys were all around right now... at least some companions to have coffee and share all these with.... But alas... Well, all I can do is rot now. Wad a way to start a 'New' life....

A GREAT DAY

i am veri sorrie if my comments yesterday hav made u all worried. i'm veri fine realli. my comments yesterday were meant for me to vent out some of my fustrations and i wasnt as tired and sick as u all hav thought. i guess our lives isnt always smooth n steady, rather, its full of challenges n tricky situations. and its always up to us to choose wat kind of lives do we want to lead? to face up to the challenges or to hide ourselves in our own wonderful world. i would rather conquer these challenges so that at the end of the day, i can tell myself that i hav tried my very best n hav no regrets. this mentality looks easy to accomplish but for mani years, i hav failed to acheive that. hopefully, i will overcome this mental barrier within this year?
oh qirong, will u pls stop talkin abt these philosophical stuff? u r driving mi nuts! okok, i will now talk about wat hav i done today! i woke up at 11am this late morning, unbelievable? but its the truth! cos i slept at 3.30am yesterday after watching a korean movie on foxtel which is similiar to the cable tv which we hav in singapore. this movie is abt a female underworld boss who married a civil servant as this is her dying sis wish. haha she even tried to get herself pregnant to fulfill her sis wish. in the end, she had a miscarriage during an attempt to save her surbordinates. fortunately, she was allrite after that n her husband joined her coy! cool!
ya this morning after waking up, i got myself ready for a river cruise. actualli, i didnt want to join the cruise but my friends kept on cajouling mi to join them. the other reason was her. we board the cruise at the barrack street jetty, which was very near to the city centre, at 1.30pm. the cruise takes about 2 hrs n during that time, small snacks were being served. on the ship, i got to know quite a number of pple n 2 of them were from sa. i graduated in 1998 n the other in 2001. as usual, due to mi timidness(aka "ham ji"ness), i didnt approach her for a small talk. ya, i could've pick up the courage to walk up to her n ask her how's her uni life n things like tat...wat the **** r u doing man, dude? the large number of pple on board the cruise( i heard there were abt 400) n my laziness didnt help mi cause.
after the cruise, i decided to join my student leader aka the king of northbrigde for his church service at UWA's social science lecture threatre. the session reminisced me of the chapelain's hour in sa, where almost everione was putting up their hands n singing songs in praise of god n jesus. i felt veri out of place during the service as i was a buddhist. but the sight of her n my friends around mi kept mi going till the end.
overall, today is a great day for mi. now its time to conquer mi books! cya then, cheers!

Welcome to my 1st posting on blogspot
this is wat u all hav been waiting for....sorrie to keep u all waiting for so many years(2?3?), esp zc, rj n ben.
this week is a SHIT week, yes, SHIT week for me....i just couldn't stand the food which are being offered in my hostel. can u imagine? havin the same old beef sausages, bacons, scrambled eggs, baked beans n cereals for breakfasts, pasta, servings of beef, lamb, lasagne n salad bars for lunches and dinners... chicken and fish are rarely served(onli on thursdays n fridays?). i swear that i hav never eaten so much vegetables n cereals in my whole life! talking about vegetables, they always serve carrots, green beans n some long beans for the ala carte n lettuces n tomatoes or some other bitter tasting leaves for the salad bar. yaya, some pple may say that u r lucky cos u hav so many varieties of food to choose from...wait till u come here man, i guarantee u tat u will miss the food in singapore n wouldnt wan to touch ani western food again....
as for my study life, u can say tat i'm struggling to grasp the concepts in the lectures...both financial accounting and organisational behaviour are completely new to me. even for macroeconomies, which is so called a recap of wat i have learnt in jc, is made more difficult by the intro of some sophisticated graphs by that dr paul cromptom n the speedy explaination of tutorial answers by blah blah andrew williams...uni tutes are completely diff from wat we hav in jcs. the tutors here r students who r in their masters or phds and some tutes require us to come fully prepared for them as marks will be awarded for our presentation and participation in class. but i guess these r good trainings as they prepared us for wat is expected in the real world.
LIFE in PERTH is super boring. wat i do after my classes finish is like this... play bball or soccer, hav dinner, do some revision or tutes assignments, go to sleep...everiday jus go past like this. life of the some singaporeans in my hostel r even more boring than mi. play bball, hav dinner, play court soccer, do revision?, go to sleep...
Sorrie to all who chanced upon my blog n hav read about my complaints in this "gp" essay.


BUT I DUN CARE! i didnt point a pistol at u and demand that u read my blog. U choose to read it! Moreover, wat is my blog for? YES, its an avenue for mi to pour out my feelings n emotions!
