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.

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

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.

okay so after rougly a six (seven?) month long hiatus (that sorry excuse for a post in which i promised that i'd blog soon after my sats doesnt count), i am FINALLY back here blogging :) it seems i am uhhh. quite undisciplined with this thing sadly heheh. thankfully there have been some very noble efforts to keep this blog breathing mostly by sara and lenglei and more recently kayhwa, because if it were just ME blogging here, i think we can NEVER reach a respectable profit with nuffnang (hahhahahha, what is it now lenglei? have we doubled our profit? is it up to a dollar now? :) maybe soon we can buy a... a... newspaper or sthg. whoopeeeeee. T_T) but hahaha i guess i shouldnt complain. it's kinda my fault as a super lazy blogger with a veryyyy high tendency to procrastinate that our blog profit generating scheme is in such a sad state anyway :)

so,

in 7 hours time, one of my closest friends here, winnie wang yi wen will leave on a flight back to taiwan :(

its weird, i've never actually done a dedication post to anyone before, which i guess isnt very surprising, given my non existent, pathetically unprolific (check THAT out, sat word ahhahaha) blogging career and mojo! it might be surprising to you guys that i actually DO get struck by inspiration and think of a really good idea for a post, and start crafting out in my head. but being the extreme slob that i am, that post never actually makes it onto the blog heheheh. but anyways, now that i have quite alot of time on my hands since my exams are over, and my awesome friend winnie is leaving soon, i think that if there was ever a time to break my post dedication virginity, IT IS NOW. before this post too disappears into the dark depths of the very cluttered space that is my mind right now. but i digress dont i :)

THIS, everybody, is my friend winnie wang yi wen :) she was the first person i approached in my class (with the exception of ismail, but that was different because he was introduced to me, and he talked so much and so fast that after 10 minutes of talking, i felt like i'd alrdy known him for half my life == hahahhaa)

hahhaa okay la im exagerrating abit.

but anyways it was sort of by coincidence that i talked to winnie first; she happened to be the person standing nearest to me when i arrived (late) to my IT session on the second day of orientation, after rushing to the foundation building in the HEAT. so i was abit flustered, and since the class before us hadnt come out yet (i suppose this makes me early instead of late :P) we were just standing ard and doing the sizing-each-other-up-with-discreet-sideways-glances thing that is so synonymous with orientation sessions. i remember thinking heyyyy this girl looks friendly, i'll talk to her! and so i did.

zhiyen: hi im zhiyen, whats ur name?
winnie: hi im winnie
zhiyen: where are you from?
winnie: ohhh im from taiwan!
zhiyen: *OH SHIT. i know NUTS abt taiwan save for taipei 101 and how theyre still governed by china. and that is a STUPID thing to talk abt when you first meet someone frm taiwan how WEIRD am i going to sound?? maybe i'll just try sometihng like...* OHHHH YAYA JAY CHOUUUUUUUUU, do you like jay chou?? :)
winnie: ummm. he's okay la.

HAHAHHAHA you cant REALLY blame me right, i mean, what would you have done??

but anyways we've errr. definitely progressed from that awkward stage hahahhaa! thanks for being there for me winnie, and being our mother hen of sorts hahahhaha!! you're always cheerful and fun to be with :) im happy to have known you! hahahh u've never actually seen this blog before but i think i'll probably give it to you so you can see how nice (ahem) my first dedication to someone is HAHA. and that my first dedication to someone is to YOU! dont play play lehhhh. hahahh :) i really had fun doing our gym stalking sessions (HOMG CUTE BOY HAS COME A LONNNGGGG WAY HASNT HE??), though not so much fun getting CAUGHT doing our gym stalking sessions (homgggg. embarrassingggggggggggggggggg~) but still that was pretty hilarious la. hahha i would keep talking abt all those funny and dumb things we did but maybe thats abit tooo forbidden to put up on cyberspace right? but im not gonna mention anythinglaOMGHPGHPGISTOTALLYINLOVEWITHYOUWOMANISWEARRRRRR. HAHHAHAHA i know ur just gonna deny but ITS TRUE OKAY. i see it ALLLL. youuuu cannoooot hiddeeeee :P but really, we did have a lot of fun times together :) i'll miss you!

and on this note i shall end! im really glad i went up and say hi to you on that second day of orientation :) i wish you ALL THE BEST BABE. may you find your koo jun byo (i spelt it wrongly didnt i?) or at least, the OPPA you're dreaming of :) i love youuuu! SARANG HAEYOOOO!

and oh yeah. i just want to add, winnie IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT IF I CANNOT SLEEP TONIGHT!! and SHAWNY'S!! i wont be surprised if i end up sleeping in sara's room homggg. scaaaaaaaryy shit man. why do we do this to ourselves???

btw, just to clarify, my being scared has nothing to do with the picture of winnie sleeping hahahaha. it just SO HAPPENS that way :)

Sometimes I feel like an alien in this world. Because my thoughts are so bizarre. They way I think. The way I learn. It's human, I can tell. It's just not the way a normal human does things. Perhaps there are plenty of other people out there just like me. Maybe one day I'll get the privilege of meeting them =) Until then.. alien I will be.

The world is made up of thin lines separating ideas from each other.

You know how people always tell you to be yourself? Cliche, or not? Maybe it's just a myth. A fairytale. Because in real life people MAKE you conform, whether you are aware of it nor not. The way you talk, you walk, you eat. Culture. Rules. Knowledge. Society and their norms.

"Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains."
Jean-Jacques Rosseau, French political philosopher.

Do you really think we have a choice? Because if men were really born free, some would act 'human', some would run around on four legs like an animal, naked. Some would fight all the time. Some would give new meaning to the phrase 'no man is an island', because I honestly think that's bullshit. If a homo sapien were to be brought into this world all alone, with no companionship whatsoever, and did not know there EXISTED such a thing as companionship.. I don't think he or she would be missing out on anything at all. How do you know how to feel lonely if you do not know such a feeling even exists? Perhaps you would think tinkering with non-inanimate objects is what Life is all about.

Life is what you make of it. That's the most meaningful and truthful phrase IMO. Coz Life is not rock solid. There is no real shape nor form to it. If you want it to be this way it will. If you want it to be nothing, it will. So long as you're happy with nothing, I don't think it really matters because Happiness is so subjective. Why do you think masochists and sadists exist?

I see my chains clearly in the day, and I hear them clinking loudly as they rub against my skin at night.

Do you?
