Happy OAUSD to all u guys who started uni today!! Jus, Kim, Tze Zheong etc etc =D How was it?? Better blog about ittt okayy xD

so my oausd was pretty ok! quite nice lah i guess. well i only have 2 classes today which start at 10 so hehe LUCKILY i asked yen the night before to wake me up at 8.30 in case i couldnt get up. Heh. SO yesh i was only a LEETLE bit late for the first tutorial due to the fact that i got kinda lost. There're about 18 ppl in one tutorial? which was microecons today. Didn't do much, just intro-ed ourselves and stuff. Our tutor is really nice though! Some young ang moh woman.

My tutorial class has 3 msiang girls, 1 indian i think, 1 asian girl dunno where from, 1 Chinese Born Aussie guy, and like abt half are ang mohs. My table had me, Tori (ang moh girl), these 2 ang moh guys and the CBA guy. Well the ang moh guys were interested in Tori i think cause she was from like Sydney and water skis, surfs and play water polo. Haha wow man!! thats the sorta by the beach life i always dreamed of! hahahah. And she's really nice too lah, great first impression.. should learn from her. lol so yeahh it was okayy we chatted abit and all. Hahah one ang moh guy was NOT BAD.

So anyway after the class i had a 3 hour break so i went back. When i left the class one msian girl called Adrienne started talking to me and turns out she lives in 313 at collegesquare and im 315! quite nice and friendly and all hahha she studied a levels at taylor subang.

but highlight of the day was my breadth subject lecture!! Philosophy 101:The Great Thinkers. Hahha oh mann! i chose it just so i could call myself a great thinkerbut i just realised the subject is gonna be quiiiiteee hard, like very subjective, need to read DEEP stuff and think alot. and its all about how u present ur view etc etc. YIKES. Met these 2 Aussie guys there, Liam and Andrew, they were like is this the philosophy 101? Awesomee.. Liam is only in high school but he's doing it for like a university extra course cause he loves philosophy. HOMGG he is SO SMART man, he knows so much abt philosophy and like socialism and stuff. I was so out of my league man. But philosophy seems interesting n thought provoking so i think itll be cool. After that, went to get the textbook and had tea cause it was kind of awkward to just like ok nice to meet u and see you around yknoww?? hahah so we ate and yen came too. He's super interesting and nice to talk to, he can talk about video games to marx communism stuff! GEEZ. i wanna be like that too man. hahhaha. n he's still 17 turning 18 this year.. when I was 17, i wasnt even 1/4 like him man in terms of outgoingness, confidence etc hahaha.

Sry the post is a bit disjointed and all i was sorta sleepy while writing it. But yeap basically sums up my first day at uni!! eye-opening experience.. diff ppl.. lots more ang mohs.. good lecturers.. stimulating philosophical reads and all. hahha. yep! kk off to google karl marx and authoritative socialism or stg... hahha. omg man.

blog ppl blog!! grrr. xD love u all =] oh yeah!! i forgot to talk about my sydney trip!! It was so tiring!! and stressful!! I can't believe how much stuff yen and i accumualated in just a year man!! OK, so after being in melbourne for a few days with my dad, after he left, we went back to sydney to colelct the stuff we left there : pots, plates, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, slow cooker, stationery, random bits of miscellaneous junk. granted they were all x 2 cause we lived separately but OHMYGOODNESS, headache to pack them all!! we were frantically stuffing stuff into suitcases and in the end had to sell off alot of stuff to esm, kevin and jayanand for freaking 50 bucks man!! highway robbery. but we were desperate =(

So! Sydney wasa whirlwind of packing and meeting with as many different cliques of friends as we could.. hahah we arrived on thurs night (25/2) and went straight to UniLodge to get the key to Tiff's sister's place where we stayed. So we chatted with Tiff a while that night then went to the sister's place about 12 stg. her sister aint back from Sg yett.

So next morning bright and early Yen and I went with our cousin Suyiin's bro to the mall to change our phone accounts to our names.

Then we went by bus ALLLL the way to Newtown to have this SUPER GOOD bfast with yiin and justina. had coffee too, world famous!!

Then abt 1 stg we went back to yiin's place and started unpacking and repacking. A pipe leaked into her place, so some of our stuff were moldy =( and it was so heartbreaking to have to give/throw away some stuff we couldnt take back with us! suc ha waste of money man.. i was so depressed. Teach us a lesson for hoarding so much stuff.. never again!! Valuable lesson we learnt the hard way guys = only buy necessities. BARE necessities. hahah you don't really NEED that little basket to hold ur toiletries in!! hahaha.

SO we packed til abt 5 and had to rush off halfway cause we wanted to meet up with the indo gang at Davin's open house bbq. and these INDOS. they described davin's new house as jsut walk along rainbow st! so we walked, and walked and walked and walked. homg mann!! SO FAR! then we got there at LONG LAST, but could only stay ther e for like 1/2 an hour cause we had dinner plans in the city with tiffany, charins, shawny, daniel and darson..

We were a bit late for dinner but it was still really nice man.. veli easy to fall back in with our sydney friends =] nice and familiar haha.

AFTER dinner, we dropped by esm's, kev's and jayanand's place to hang out with them abit.. their place is pretty nice!! Hahahha apparently partying every night and all. And they are surprisingly NEAT FREAKS for guys!! non stop cleaning and vacuuming HAHAH. puts us to shame man. dont tell them i said this OKAY.

so we finallyyy left esm's place at like 12 stg.. caught up alot and all =] and went back with tiff to her sis's place. and then she had these 2 friends over and we chatted for abt 2 hours. so at the end of the SUPER LONG DAY, we showered and ko-ed at 4 stg.. ahaha. phew mann.

Next day up at 9 again and finished packing, had lunch with the wms ppl and gave them the stuff they bought and dragged our bags down to the car park to go to d airport. oh and did i mention that yiin's lift is SPOILT?? so all this was down trekking up and down 9 flights of staiirs!! never again. My glutimeus maximus is still aching. hahahah. But yiin's bro helped drag down alot, thank u jian yung kor kor!! and a big THANK YOU to tiff and justina for trekking everywhere with us including up and down the stairs!! love u guys mann.. miss u > <

So sydney was extremely tiring but so worth it!! it was so great meeting everyone again after so long.. suddenly got hit by a wave of reminiscence for sydney and the ppls. hahah. =( well the good thing is we are all in the same region.. msia, sg, indo and hongkong heheh. =] can fly up and down. So anyways yes!! this was basically a catatan ( whoa can rmb my malay man! lol) blog post of what i've been doing... havent hear from u guys in a while though! hope u guys are still good. =D

over and out!

24th Feb 2010

Sooo i is thinking since we are all scattered all over ONCE AGAIN, that it is time to revive our ole faithful bloggie. Hahah. So!! Thus is the start of a new schooling year and monday blues, however, due to strategic and ingenius timetable arranging on our parts yen and I won't really have monday blues ohohoohoho. the commerce timetable is lovely!! Hahhaha.

So yesh, tis is the time of study again, and for some of us stressing over where and what to study for uni (eh, donks? =] ) good luck to everyone!! am already looking forward to june.. where it MIGHT be the last time any of us sees leng lei in the flesh before she is sent to MINIMUM THREE YEARS over in the UK and not allowed to return for hols!! Guys, appreciate her as much as you can stand to. Hahha. I haven't written anything remotely journalistic for SO LONG my writing flair ( if i had one) is kinda rusty. Heheh. Even my handwriting is pok ( singaporean slang we picked up from Sydney =3 )

MELBOURNE. now i get what they mean by the land of the crazy weather mood swings. crazy indeed! and the useless google forecast doesnt help whatsoever! Anyway, our apartment is pretty cozy. Just right to be comfortable and easily maintained which is sorta subjective as having to clean our one toilet is one toilet too many already. Lol. whoda thunk 2 neat ppl could create such a mess in such a short time!? thank goodness we only have one toilet. Hahha. I'll bug yen to post pictures of our apartment cause she's d one who took pictures.

Well, yest we met up with tze zheong, sze earn, yi siang and jus!! twas v v good to catch up!! I was sorta craving proper friends after a couple of days of meeting new ppl. So in this way melbourne is sorta good cause you literally bump into 3 old friends just walking into uni hahah. And i realised from orientation that ang moh's seriously don't like to mingle with asians and asians end up hanging out together. I'm not saying i don't wanna meet asians but what kinda stereotyping is this haha. Though i have to say i'm not adverse to it.. kinda more eager to meet other nationalities. it's only natural right? But then again with other nationalities it's hard to communicate and in the end u turn back to msians/sporeans to bond with ahhaha. it is a vicious cycle indeed.

So far i've met two chinese born aussie girls and two china girls who i've hung out with a little more than others. the china girls are nicer actually so there goes the stereotype huh? I guess next week will be more interesting cause classes actually start. Will post more observations then =] =] It's really cool though cause TZ lives down the road ( like REALLY FAR DOWN though) from us and so does justin and sze earn and andrew and yi siang is the next road.

Had my first mini lecture introducing the whole commerce course to like econs, finance and accounting. econs was the most interesting with finance second.. accounting didn't really describe it much. And well, i found it OKAY. like doable and interesting at some parts. =/ haha just sayin.

We're going to sydney tml night to collect our stuff there like clothes and pots etc etc. Haha and hopefully sell off the bigger stuff!! ughh so ma fannn man.. and a pipe burst in my cousin's apartment where we were storing our stuff SO our clothes might not be recognisable =(( hahaha.

We currently have no pots. And tonight we were craving soba noodles. HEHHE. BUT NO POT TO BOIL THE NOODLES. so we INNOVATIVELY boiled water and SOAKED our noodles hahah! it was really sad. and pathetic. but it WORKED. we had our noodles and watched glee! hahahha. took a video =P MAY post it one day. oh the sad student life~~ ( i say this sitting in our fully furnished heated apartment, with HOT WATER, and most of our neccessities like lights and all bought and driven from ikea tgt with my dad) hehehe. Thanks dad!

OKAY! i shall end this now!! Just felt like writing something and suddenly remembered our wilting blog. Heheh. ALIVE it is now!! wheee. blog ppl blog!!

Melbourne

OMG people!! We have been abandoning this blog for months!! Its almost dead now. Hehe. I just wanna tell u guys that i hv arrived melbourne already. I'm sorry if i didnt tell most of u people. =P wanna keep it loww... HAHA!! nola. its juz most of u will be here so eventually we'll meet here. Just like how i met spring, v vien, sze earn, justin, sara n zhiyen. It kinda feels like melb is awfully smalll.. haha!

I have been here for more than a week already. I'm pretty lucky cause i have my own house here n everything is done for me. I dun need to worry about getting an apartment or buying furniture n stuff like dat. I have my elder sis to tell me wat to do n teaching me to do some stuff. Until now, everything seems to be fine. I cant wait for uni to start cause i m feeling so bored..... There's nth much to do now. Have been reading story books, watching this freak science show called Fringe, facebooking, rotting.... So, my orientation starts tmr. My sis will teach me how to take the tram to my uni. I think it shouldnt be a problem. Hopefully i will have more things to do then.

Anyway, my mother's friend who lives in australia brought us to a beach last week. It was quite pretty there. But the thing is we didnt manage to stay long at the human beach, we passed by a dog beach n stopped at the dock where we chatted with this old man who was fishing. Kinda funny huh? that they actually have a beach meant for dogs.. There were many dogs there. All happily playing in the water with their owners.

I think thats the dog beach.


The weather at the beach was VERY VERY hot. I wore a sleeveless shirt n shorts n i came back with sunburns on my arm n around my neck. Terrible. I'll never go to a beach without sunscreen anymore. Afterthat, we drove to the human beach. They have these little huts called bath here. They put their stuff in these bath. These little huts are considered special, like the one of the attraction on the beach. Apparently, these huts are very expensive and the govt wouldnt allow anyone to build anymore on the beach.

We took one picture in front of the australia flag one. But i dun hv the pic. =(

It was quite annoying to walk on the beach when all the sand are getting into your shoes. So, i tried to walk without my shoes on. I kinda regretted doing that! The sand was sooooo hot! i dun understand how these ppl can walk on the sand like they cant feel anything. After a few minutes i wore back my shoes. Quite stupid of me to not wear slippers to a beach.

Ok! That's about it ppl! i have managed to burn off some time while writing this post! =] Shall go n get ready for dinner later! See ya ppl!

Oh! i forgot to tell u guys that i might be using the name clare/claire? i havent decided which one yet. Since Tze Zheong will be absolutely difficult for anyone to rmb here. Hence, an english name that i took months to decide will be used in melb. =D Dun laugh at me ok? hehe.

Superstar Post!

Hello peoples! I don't think I have ever posted a proper post on this blog and since this blog needs reviving, here I am! JENG JENG JENG!

Anyways I just came back from Bangkok on Tuesday night. I went there for a debate competition! :D it was the Asians British Parliamentary Debate Championship and I'm proud to say that out of 92 teams, I was one of the 32 teams to make it to the octofinals and it's a big deal okay cos it's an international tourney with 57 unis, from 9 diff Asian nations! So *applause*

Anyhoo, it was a great competition and I enjoyed myself a whole lot though there was very little shopping involved. I only shopped for one day :( But it's okay, my debate achievement compensated for it. Teehee! :D

I went for the Zara sale @ Atria today and it was disappointing for there were nice stuff but a super long queue and I had to go back to college for classes so I left empty handed + a broken heart. :(
But it's okay for I played...
L4D2
:D IT IS LE AWESOME! I DEMAND YOU PEOPLE TRY IT OUT!

okay peace out! :D

Fibrillate this BLOG PRONTO.

And the blog's heart starts pumping again! ba-dup ba-dup
Sorry guys, our profits remain at a miserable RM0.75 heh. i think we're earning about 0.000000000123456789 a day. not bad eh, considering that most of us ignore this blog.
Anyhoo, lovely dedication post yen, i'm pretty sure Winnie will appreciate that napping picture of herself on top of her books. nice touch there. If anything zyen, YOUR LIFE is FULL of awkward moments.
My moments are just outrightly embarrasing.
and kayhwa,
FREE WILL IS AN ILLUSION. the sweet irony is that we "practice" free will freely according to the laws of physics and the land! If it's not that, the consequences of our actions often refrain us from doing as we wish. but then there are consequences for ALL OF OUR ACTIONS, and just because we are afraid of the punishment/outcome, do we dismiss that free will does not exist?
Sure, we can choose freely to jump off a cliff in hopes of flying but we won't. That's because we are fully aware that it would lead to a certain death. So what? Do we then freely choose to jump off a cliff, and then freely choose to skip the grim reaper? that's just plain absurd. The world would be in utter chaos.
Then again, there are things that we simply cannot do! We cannot freely choose to defy the laws of gravity literally (airplanes and helicopters not included). So a person's free will is limited to what he can potentially do (given that he is not afraid of punishment) perhaps? And what he can potentially do is governed by the Law of Physics. Hence, this implicates that a person's free will is governed by the Law of Physics. Oh, the comedy of life! Even free will doesn't have a free will haha!
I too agree that a person's life to relative to all that is around him. What would be good, if you can't see what's bad? When some people say, "Imagine what life would be like without electricity?". we'd obviously be thinking of candles and lamps. But WHY? Maybe a civilization without electricity could be operating on an advance form of kinetic energy, or probably something i cannot possibly imagine. Maybe they could be living a better life than us. Of course, it could be worse to, we'd never know.
People judge life as they see it. They think that this life is the only way it could ever turn out. If Hitler was never born, how sure are you that the world would be better than it is? You don't. And you never will. We shouldn't compare our Life and world to imaginations and what-ifs. Instead, we should compare it to reality. One of the main reasons why countries should constantly have relations with others is so that we can compare to each other. If a country closed all ties and connection to the rest of the world, it wouldnt even know if it was oppressed or exploited (eg North Korea). They'd think their lack of freedom is the best thing they have got because they havent seen real freedom. I say "real freedom" in the context of this world btw.
It the same with Earth. While we've been comparing to other countries and not with other galactic communities, it's no doubt that some ideas are already so fixed and solid that stating anything out of the norm would imply insanity. Afterall, sanity IS statistical. Thankfully, truth isn't. That's why, i'm against world government. Yea sure, it could avoid wars and inequality, although i'm skeptical that it would, but we could also be oppressed and brainwashed and we wouldn't know it! Then again, if we were, i wouldn't know what i'm missing out haha.
OH WAIT. HOMG, I COULD BE BRAINWASHED ALREADY. gasp. haha.
Anyways, i believe that life's purpose is to be happy. i mean, i don't fear death. i fear pain more lol. Death can end suffering, worrying and pain that Life gives. We wouldn't need to worry about unpaid bills, exams and driving tests. We'd be ultimately free (that is if you don't believe in afterlife which i don't). So why then, avoid Death? All this seems like we should embrace it. Because while Life gives pain and suffering, it also gives happiness and joy. Without good, there cannot be evil. Without suffering and pain, happiness and joy would have no value. That's what Life gives and Death takes it all. IMHO, Life should be lived happily!
wow.
LONGEST POST EVER! be proud of me! :D
PS i cant paragraph this post! Annoying! this entire post will look like a chunk of words. grr.
