The waiting...

2nd of December

Will it be the end of my 4 years university life?

Well well.. It struck me with surprise again.. Almost once a year, the WES ( the website that released result) will surprised me. It never fail to do so... even on my final semester.

I forced myself not to sleep early on the night before, as I know I won't be able to do anything on the day result is released. I was being paranoid and kept pressing refresh and refresh and REFRESH...

and TAH DA...

The surprise is...

My result is not fully release yet. My Final Year Project's result is WH (with held), which means it is not released yet. I was panicked and emailed my supervisor, according to him, I have passed my subject, should be the 2nd marker haven't submit my research paper's mark. That email make me feel so relief. With the further confirmation from Nicole, the engineering admin, this is pretty common, I shall not worry and the only thing I can do is WAIT.

Hopefully what lies before me is really the good news.

20th October 2010 (20102010)

Happy 20102010~
Well.. just another reason to wish everyone a happy day, and you don't get another 20102010 again in your life, don't ya?

Wednesday of Week 13 - Last week of final semester for this 4 years of study.

Finally, it is coming to an end. ( Seriously hope I don't need to see MU anymore next year. =P)
Already fed up.. numb... with all this inhumane life style as an engineering student. However, I guess it is really a personal decision on how to live a life, there were time I lived like a normal human during this 4 years of study.

2 days to go.. and I am pretty done with my report and paper. I am so fed up with it, I actually printed it. WRONGLY for 2-3 copies.. Wasted 15 dollar on printing.. and now I have 150 over A4 paper as scrap paper in my last week of final semester.. What am I going to do with it? Wonder can I finish it with my study for final examination.

haha.. as acknowledgment that I can't type in my final report...
I would like to thank my fake/temporary supervisor, which monitor my progress on report writing. Hence I am able to finish it early.. and so free to type this meaningless post.

Also Pat who volunteer to edit my paper. If you didn't offer the help, I might have submitted my final report and paper just as it was.. I was just so lazy to proof read it.

Chocolate's Day

CHOCOLATE'S DAY

One week has passed since final exam is over. Most of the students of Clayton campus are now enjoying themselves under the hot sun with Malaysia's food and HOME SWEET HOME~ I admit I was a little home sick previously with all the uncertainties in my mind.

Well~ For now, we are enjoying ourselves here as well. =) Don't try to tempt us with Malaysia foods, it won't work.. =P

For the past one week, I have been indulging in foods. >.<

We went to Lygon Street for Nasi Lemak House. The mamak mee goreng and nasi lemak kelantan are good. Just a slight of regret in trusting Jason's level of spiciness, we should have go for most spicy as we found medium not spicy at all.

Thanks to YC for delivered us Hokkien mee and pineapple fried rice and he baked cupcakes. =) Sorry for those who missed it. =P



Next, we went to Richmond for breakfast~ which is highly recommended by Jason.

I didn't try to coffee as I was told it was just so so~ and according to the one who tried it, is a no no. I ordered the pumpkin tofu pie and the special poached egg breakfast. The breakfast is just normal, but the pumpkin tofu pie was a surprise. It is topped with a soury sweet with cinnamon taste topping, and warm pumpkin blend with chunky bites of almonds served in the pie. It is quite a personal choice, as people who don't like cinnamon might not like it. I would think is fine when u mix the topping and pumpkin blend together. At least, I kind of love it. =)


We also found a great cafe for breakfast in the city, this cafe is so hidden that we wouldn't have notice it if it was not recommended by a friend. We were initially shocked by the look and the surrounding of the cafe, and yet we went in. We knew we are in the right place when we smell the coffee the moment we stepped in the cafe.


The cappuccino, latte and mocha are good. I personally feel is better than building 75 coffee.. Actually I feel building 75 coffee is the best in campus, but if out of campus, I will think the cafe beside Carnegie train station, De graves coffee and this newly found cafe are better. Personally I like this one just nice for me as I find De graves coffee too thick, Carnegie too sweet for me ( I'll request less sugar next time). The foods here are good too and the price is reasonable.

Something like quinche with spinach and cheese.

Slow cooked lamb with Penne.

Something similar to Foccacia, but this sesame bun taste real good!

One thing I like about this cafe, the foods are not really very salty, a very nice place to hang out as well. Next we headed to San Churro where we were blessed with luck. =)

We took our own sweet time in front of the counter thinking which cakes should we try...
and the guy working in SC was so kind to recommend us this:

The Fried Truffles~

We are so honoured to be the first customer to try it as it is not on the menu yet. He even showed me his kitchen manual as I requested to have a closer look at the photo. I should have memorize the recipe. =P This is so heavenly good! The crunchy yet not hard bite at the outer surface, chocolate melting inside, with a soft texture with bit of saltiness in the middle are perfect combination. Since it is fried food, we thought it will be hot, but it is not. I am drooling as I am describing it. This is definitely a surprise of the day and I highly recommend everyone to give it a try when is available. Please don't b surprise you are not serve with the chocolate dip when you order as it is not suppose to be there.


The significant dish of San Churro, the churro dip. It can be served with cinnamon or icing sugar topping. As one of us hate cinnamon, we ordered the icing sugar topping.

The Bailey Chocolate Cheese cake, this combination reminds me of Tiramisu. This cake is very cheesy, the biscuit crumb is really thick. It is best to share it with such thick cheesy taste cake. It is one of the best of the day as well. =) The cake can be served with chocolate dip as well, however I would think it will spoil the cake if it is add with chocolate dip.

Next stop, from the hairy San Churro to the bald Max Brenner. =P
We were told by Hui that the icon of Max Brenner is actually drawn with just one line.
At this point, I was actually very fulled of chocolate.

The Banana split sundae with waffle.

I was so full of chocolate that I feel sick just by the thought of drinking chocolate. These were ordered by Hui and YC. Arabian night and Pineapple marshmallow thingy.. It is seriously a weird combination of pineapple and chocolate. I would think it is another personal taste thing, some might like it.

With so many chocolates in a day...... we shall declare today as CHOCOLATE DAY~
and we celebrated with sparkling candle ; )

28th of May 2010

Keat Ming was complaining that my blog is collecting dust, and is time to clean it. Well... I wish I have time to do so... as we don't even have time to sleep tonight.

It is 5.30am in Melbourne, we have a Sustainability Assignment and Refrigeration Project due at 2pm later, both from the same lecturer yet different units. Frankly speaking, I have not been much help in Refrigeration Project, the only we can do it to show moral support and helped as much as we can.

Refrigeration unit is pretty scary, most of us failed both of our tests, including me. Although I managed to cover up by other reports, the fear to fail the final examination is stressing us out. Even our mechanical god is only wishing for a Distinction in this unit. That's how horrible it is. Worst of all, the final paper for this unit is the first paper on the first day of examination. We only have less than two weeks to study for it, yet assignments and reports are not done. We still left with Progress Report due next Friday. I am just hoping for a Pass in this unit. I will be very happy if I managed to pass it.

Other than that, life has been treating me well. =) No worry about that. Something good about my self =P. I don't really feel home sick often. I enjoy where ever I am and what I am doing. I enjoyed Malaysia during summer, and I enjoy Melbourne life here now. Sometime I do think of Malaysia food or home, but normally I won't crave for it. Staying in good health this semester, no fever, no flu, just occasionally headache once or twice. =)

There is always up and down in life. Yes, there are things that disappointed me happened. Sometime there is some facts that you knew, but you are just too afraid to reveal it, and tried to cheat yourself about it. However, things could not be covered forever. There are time, I need to face the truth, accept the disappointment and learn to get through with it. That's life. ( Good point to note: there are always true friends around to support you whenever you are in trouble or you are troubled by something. Thanks Buddies~)

While I am away from Malaysia, things seems to be very happening back there. From family to friends, good things.. bad things.. Just wish everyone is doing well. Good luck in examination, life and stay healthy =)

We only have one life to live.
May be we shouldn't be too stubborn or particular on some stuff.
May be we shouldn't take it too seriously.
May be we should just try our very best and say " Yeah, I tried my best and I am not going to regret"
That's good enough.
Isn't it?

* I bought a new baby, Audio-Technica es-7, is cheaper compared to Malaysia, and it definitely worth the value.
* I thinking how should I cut my hair, should be keeping it til July, which is after examination. However, I have no idea what style I should have after this.
* I slacked on Final Year Project for month since Easter Break, however, managed to cope and I guess I am not doing that badly compared with another student who doing same topic as me. He is supposed to finish his project this semester, yet he is on the same pace as me this week. I guess he is pretty screwed. Just hopefully my project report goes well, going to start this weekend.
Note: my supervisor is really a very nice guy. He greet me by my name and a big smile whenever he see me outside the class. He don't threaten or scold us like other supervisor did. Guess I am pretty lucky. =P
* going to stock up instant noodles and junk foods for examination period this weekend. I guess I'll gain back the weight I lost during examination period. Who cares as long as I pass my examination.
* Still considering between PR and going back Malaysia.
* Still thinking positively. =)

Courage to give up

There are time you wish you could turn back, however you know you can't.

Even if you do, are they going to be the same?

Sometime, it takes more courage to give up than to continue.

I am a coward, because I don't have the courage and determination to give up.

At least, not now.

Nothing left, but memories

24th of March

Today is exactly a month since I reached Melbourne..
Same suburb, same uni, same faces, different house...
missing houses, missing faces, missing the people and fun

Life has been much more quiet,
less birthday party,
less chances of bumping into friends,
less happening events...

Walking on the same street and route,
feel so familiar yet so strange.

Sometime.. I subconsciously wanted to walk the wrong way back..
Feel like crossing the car park to go back to Morton..
But what is left there?

Nothing....
But memories.

CNY + b'day + valentine

Happy Chinese New Year~
新年快乐~

still stuck at Cameron Highland right now.. baby girl has gone back home yesterday night. Since I am so bored right now, I shall do some update. =P

I am now officialy 21 years old... feel so old suddenly. Last year, I couldn't accept the fact that I am already in the stage of 20, in a blink of eyes, I am now legal to vote for my country. When I was still feeling 18 last year, I am feeling 24/25 this year... few days before my 21st only I remember that, I am not 21 yet. The past one year in Melbourne did make me grow up a lot, I mean mentally ( of course physically , fat as well I know)

I realize I didn't mention much about my secondary school friends, I hope you guys won't mind about that. No matter what, no matter where, I always feel our friendship bond is strong, even though we don't chat often. As years pass, whenever I met them, I felt as if we just met yesterday. They just always there for me, listen to my rant.. especially my unorganized thought, irrational and contradicting statement. ( crazy at time) haha.. what can I say, they are being such a good listener. I might could have caused them crazy as well =P So yes, my good buddy, please feel free to bug me as well, maybe you feel you are troubling me with your rant, but you never know, you are actually helping me as well. =) I'll learn to be a good listener as well, keep quiet and listen. =X

As my birthday fall on the reunion dinner night, which also the day my sis leaving to aussie, I didn't have the mood of CNY or b'day. Still.... thank you for those who remember my b'day and wish me while enjoying chinese new year. My birthday celebration was as early as 16th of January.


I was really surprised. haha.. who would have expect such an early celebration right? Thanks ya. I really enjoyed that DAY! Of course, we are not that crazy to wear soooooo formal just for my birthday. We actually went MPO which required us to have formal wear.

Thanks crazy siao kia who went cheong K with us and shopping! ( he is under training to learn to shop with gf in the future. haha ).. hahaha... ping, elaine, willy and siu. Luckily managed to get siu out that day, no one know she is leaving soon to Melbourne as well. =.= What a friend ? haha.. she was bombarded by us for trying to leave quietly. Ping, thanks for the lovely pendant. =)

Thanks for all the wishes on facebook or through phones.

Since my birthday was on CNY, and the next day is valentine's day. Smartly, there are people who wished me on 12.00am of 14th for all 3 occasions. haha. Yes, very smart. Thank you.. =)

Thanks cousin and family.. haha.. yes.. another big big cake again.. for my birthday celebration on reunion dinner.

LOVE

LOVE

Something in my mind recently...

When a relationship ends, do not doubt the love you had previously. Nothing is eternal in this world, including love. I believe he/she was really in love with you when you were together. Love can't be acting, can't be fake. If it is, you could have feel it. What you really feel at that very moment, please believe it, it was real and I believe the love was real.

Do not deny the fact that he/she did cherish your life before. Don't remember your love with all the sad moment, or the unhappy occasions. When the relationship ends, love have fade away, please accept it, at this moment, yes.. he/she is no longer in love with you. He was but now he is not. Accept it and walk away with the love you had.

We learn to walk through falling down, we learn to success when we know there are failure.
Do not be afraid.. we learn and grow up, don't we? This is just another learning point.
