Feelings at the moment...

So fast, it is already half way through for first semester. At the mean time, I am getting used to the lifestyle here.

A person spend the most time with one self. And we as human beings will always have inner struggle of good and bad within us. And sometimes, I do find it difficult to maintain the balance. There are times when I will be very determined to do something. But there are times when I will be totally slacked. For instance, I was late to class today because I was watching You Tube and Crunchy Roll AGAIN till wee hours in the morning.After that, I called my mum and it seems that the house renovation is putting her under a lot of stress. It kinda feels bad when I am not around to help her.

Human connections are very interesting. Till now, it is still a myth to me. I don't even understand that how a person can affect my mood. Anyway, that is all for now.

Time...Home...Mummy...

Already 3am in the morning, but still I can't sleep... why? I really dunno.. This is the time when my brain is the most active, thoughts flowing all over the place, imagination running wild thinking nonsense stuff....

Sigh, I am still counting down my days back to Australia. But at least I am able to spend CNY 2008 with my family. Better then my neighbours, who complained that their daughters studying in UK couldn't celebrate CNY with them for many years.

What have I done in the past 2 months exactly?

Firstly, I was very excited to have a new pet- dog. Of course, I helped in bathing her, throwing away her smelly poo and pee, brush her hair, play with her, wipe her
\pee everytime she felt tooo excited playing with me (it never occurs when she is playing with my mum and bro, so I wonder whether my dog is a lesbian), wipe the tear staining under her eyes, bring her for evening walk...the list is long eh?

Secondly, maybe I spend my time shopping, reading, playing the piano.

Thirdly, I am going to shift to a new house soon.. so that is my biggest agenda here in Malaysia. Coz I have to decide and help my mum with the new design for the house and stuff.

Then I went to choir practice every weekend and spend most of my time driving. Accompany my mom to the bank, doing this and that...time just flies... why time is always not enough? I don't think I have done anything fascinating in my days in Malaysia.

Sounds boring right? But I think the most wonderful thing is that I am able to enjoy my mom's home cooked meal almost everyday. That,is really the BEST part.

Substituting western breakfast (toast with vegemite, fresh milk with cereals) with Wan Tan Mee, Dim Sum and nasi lemak is a blessing...

Able to go Yum Cha and chit chat with my friends at cafes or mamak stall during odd hours is also a blessing....

Damn I will MISS the FOOD here!!

I think the sole reason I would come back to Malaysia after my graduation would be for the food...How can I survive without mummy's food? Have to learn all the yummy recipes from my mum...I need her to be the mentor of my cooking...

You would never want to know what I cooked for myself when I was busy with assignments and exams. Instant noodles and Subway was inevitable.. Sometimes, I just threw in meat and vege to cook some sort of soup to eat with rice...Well, it just made me appreciate my mother's cooking more...

Not just cooking, I have to learn to be a 'Si Lai' ... In the sense that I need to go to the supermarket to buy my own groceries, have to think of how much vege and meat that I need to prepare one week's meal. Then, I have to learn to budget, compare prices of groceries. In Malaysia, I would leave to my mum to do the grocery shopping without thinking about the price..In other words, I think I would not even care to look at the price...

But now, I know it is not easy to do grocery shopping especially when you need to buy according to your budget and decide the brand of household products with reasonable pricing and quality before purchasing them.

Sigh, I would really miss home.. especially mummy... although we have arguments once in a while... But I think my mom's sacrifice for this house hold is very great...

Although I'm in my adulthood, I still have deep respect for my mum. In many ways, I am still my mother's biggest fan.

Think I am too long winded? If anyone read this post today, there is only three words I wanna say before going to bed.

'Love your mother'

GOOD NIGHT..ZZZZzzzZZzz

New Year 2008 and CNY...

Well.... it is going to be CNY soon.. Done your grocery shopping yet? Bought new clothes? Done spring cleaning yet? I've only done shopping to add clothes to my closet... You can say I'm a shopping queen...but not yet a shopaholic...haha... I think all girls love shopping...

Recently, I read a book on 'Why we want you to be rich' by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. It is daunting that we are involve in money everyday. But almost 90 % of people do not know how to invest their money or spend their lives working for money, safe money, live below your means and diversify by purchasing mutual funds...

Frankly speaking, how many of us really know about economics and about financial management? Most of us know how to spend or safe money rather than invest our money.

Since I will be working in the society for the next 2 years, it is scary of how little I know about money. I am not being materialistic, rather I am being realistic.
Therefore, it is very important to start now in educating ourselves everything about money. To people out there who always wanted to be rich, wealth is accumulated through time, effort and patience. Wealth do not grow overnight. So, stop being a dreamer and start taking action by investing in your financial education. The more you know, the less is the risk for investing.

I am learning now as well. Bachelor degree is just a ticket for us to thrive in this society. But, how well we wanna survive depends entirely on our extra efforts besides studies. So broaden your horizons, and do what you can when you have the time and energy. Leave no room for regrets and start taking action now.

So,this is my new year resolution-- Enhance my financial education.

It is your choice whether you want to change or continue living with ignorance.

That's all I wanted to say.

Hope this will shed some thoughts in some of you who came across my blog.

My new pet: Flaffy AKA Fifi

This is my new pet after I came back home! Don't think that she is cute when I first saw her... Not really a pet lover as well... But after a month or so spending precious moments with her.. She is soooo adorable!Now I will miss her badly when I am back in Australia. I have a new baby sis now, she is Fifi.. Haha... Enjoy her pictures.. and more pics to come.

Exam.. exam .. exam...

Exam again...finals.. then i will be going back Malaysia on 26th of Nov.. i should be studying. But instead, I am updating my blog... haha.. But I think I SERIOUSLY need a break, to connect with other people.. yea you may say that I can talk to people through msn.. But I am in study mode now.. So I don't really feel like chatting with ppl via msn... But still, being alone concentrating on one thing can be quite a pain in the neck...

So I am done with my placement.... Now I just need 3 more papers to go before I end this semester.... time flies!! And I am turning 22 soon... er.. that is daunting isn't it?

I can say until now, I feel that I am still exploring myself.. There are so many things I wanna do to explore my horizons..

I wanna watch more musicals, improve my piano playing skills, wanna continue singing in a choir,wanna explore composing more songs... I am still very curious in this area. SOo many thing i wanna to do....

Hope I can do all, one step at a time... hehe....
ciaoz for now.. back to study :)

KL Buskers Festival 2006

Should have uploaded these photos earlier as well...I participated the KL Buskers Festival 2006 along with other 300 youths of SGM. It was a memorable experience at Dataran Merdeka...the music and the fun was great! I still remember the that it was broadcasted in RTM 1...Anyway, have fun looking at the pictures, and make sure that you guys recognize me. hehe

Merdeka Night Performance...

I should have uploaded these pictures earlier.. Now that I have the time to do it, haha...Anyway, it was a memorable experience just before my placement.. I was asked to be in charge of the Merdeka Night Performance on 31st of August, 2007.. Bogged down with exams and assignments with a tight timeline, it was a challenging moment for me.. I still remember I nearly failed my pre-placement examination prior to this event...I was so stressed out.. But, my chanting helped me to get through.. Without chanting, I would not had manifested the wisdom to get through all this...
These are the lovely pictures,all of us had a great time.

4 am in the morning...

Woke up 4 am in the morning to realise that I have motivation to upload photos on my blog.. these are the photos from Canberra, just got the photos from my friend (the photographer. It was a nice trip..thanks for my friend who drove 4 hours straight from Newcastle 4 am in the morning and managed to reach there by 9am... It was cold there!! Freezing I would say although it is spring... We went to the Parliament House, Floriade Exhibition, National Museum and also the Telstra Tower... It was perfect for a one day trip... Enjoy the pictures guys!


Telstra Tower. Can you imagine standing at the top of the tower with the wind blowing fiercely? It was FREEZING man.. but the night scenery was worth a watch...


Our photographer man, snapping pics of himself... he thinks himself is handsome(er hmm)anyway,he is showing his new camera also la...


Look at the flowers.. aren't they gorgeous?









Am I gorgeous? Did someone faint? Do i need to call 911? haha joking.. I will never regard myself as gorgeous...?!?!




Our dedicated driver, who insist that he will only take photo with the red flowers...how 'passionate' he is...








Parliament House, we are sooo patriotic...
