Orientation...

Things i did...

1.Student union membership: freebies!i get a free t shirt(but i printed the picture WAY too small so my tshirt only has a tiny picture printed on it..=p),can borrow dvds,discounts everywhere(including movies,food,coffee,ice cream,stationery,clubs...),more facilities(like lounges,computer rooms,bars)....many many more...=p had free BBQs too...The clubs joined for HALF the price include

• UNICEF
  

• Malysian's club in melbourne uni

• Catholic society at melbourne uni(=p...wanna go world youth day....but i dunno if i can...)

2.games!! which includes this game supervised by the Victorian police where u r required to wear these goggles that blur ur vision (smtg like looking through the eyes of a drunk) then having to perform 3 tasks..pass them all (which i did...hurray!!) and u get a panic alarm button..hahahhaha...

3. Other FREE & FUN activities..like

• Bungee trampoline!!!it was so fun!!!this is how it looks like...as i have no camera(GRRRR) jus grabbed this off the internet...hehehhe...the back flips are so so amazing...the worst feeling was when u jump really high and u feel this rising-stomach-feeling while coming down...but it was EXTREMELY fun...too bad for those who didnt try it...=p

• henna art!wish i could take a pic of my hand and upload it...=p...here's an example tho...hahah...i actually went into WestCo. to look at some clothes while waiting for the 302 bus..and the cashier who is an Indian woman asked if i was married when she saw the henna art on my hand...ahhahahahhah..=p

• personally drawn caricature by an artist!hehehe...(waited for bout 1 hr...the artist took like 5-7 mins per person which is pretty damn quick!and he does them all really well too..wow...i think he started drawing at 2.30 till bout 6...can u imagine???)i need to scan it!!!=p...dunno how with the fax/scan/photocopy/print/telephone machine...

• draw smtg cute on the blackboard of the cultural and arts booth...get ur picture taken and even get sweets/postcards for ur time..
  

4. Informative sessions about ur subjects (bio mol, chem, microecons,calc) and also on general things like:

• brain management(hehhe...a little bio recollection seeing how synapsis and neurotransmitters were included in the talk...) how to improve ur memory through social interactions as well as a healthy mind, body and soul..it was really helpful...

• even if i'm not doing accounting...i attended it accidentally thinking it was microecons...the lecturer was so funny and engaging..teaching his students while cracking us all up...
  

the outstanding lectures were full of humour, cute pictures, audience participation and cool
videos...


5. having some time alone to digest the extent of ur present life...how far u've come from those primary sch years ,high sch....uptill now...UNIVERSITY...hmmmm...but getting lost in the extremely huge campus and running around in circles wasnt exactly fun my cup of tea...=p it did give me time to think tho...

monday monday monday...such a build up of anticipation!!

For Mel

Mel mel mel....

What can we say about mel?

hmm...the real question is...what can i NOT say about mel...?

LIST:
1. Damn lame/funny/forever 5c's saving grace from the most boring of days..I can never forget her crazy Lab report bout *ahem and *ahem...hehehe...and her "what's Bruce Lee's favourite drink?" joke..(the answer's WA-TAH - *an exaggeration of water... =p) *lols....

2. A terrific, trustworthy....a true friend...always there to cheer her buddies up when they're down, upset or frustrated. Honest..Not forgetting the casual "I'm gonna kick that guy's a** !" whenever one of our gf's are mistreated by their guys...ehehe...She's keeps the cats IN the bag too (very professional and honours confidentiality...hehe)

3. She definitely is "Mesmerizing Mel". A charismatic personality coupled with admirable morals..definitely a lovely person to be around as her optimism jus oozes out of her and spills on everyone within a 5 mile radius around her!! =p (hehe...an exaggeration i'm proud to use on mel...)

4. Intellegent...DUH!!still remember this crazy girl's academic record esp during primary sch during which she'd never fail to top the class every term...=) attaining the Tuart college scholarship proves my point on her brilliance anyway...=p i'm so proud to have such a smart, friend...apart from academic achievements, she's also an adroit and determined bball player!!being the bball girl pioneer of our year having been the first of our year to qualify for the Lodge's bball definitely earned the respect of many...obviously she deserved the post of team captain in 2006...an accomplished play maker...=)

5. A spiritually strong individual..an avid and active attendee of church, she's admired by many...involved in worship, giving testimonials...=) more of this kind of devotion is needed in christianity !!

there are many more things that can be said about Mel... but by listing them all out I'd commit the crime of robbing ppl of the privilege to get to know Mel personally..=) I must say that she is a person that is worth being friends with...

Happy birthday Mel...hope you have a fantastic birthday with your family and friends...most importantly, i wish you all the best in all your endeavours and may u seek God for his guidance to achieve them... Know that i appreciate your friendship and the awesome times we've shared..

grrr...you're on the other side of this huge island...*hugs...can't give u this in person tho..hmph...

GRRR>>>

reformated my computer and now i've lost all my programs like Adobe Flash Player so i cant even view the animations on my blog!

=p

and now my Msn Messenger has been relegated to it's more...primitive version..=p

AND since my bro and I exceeded our Broadband bandwidth i'm stuck with a laggy internet connection...

*dang...

Year-of-the-rat-inspired story..

2008 starting 7th of February marks the year of the rat..In India, the temples serve rats milk as if they were sacred animals...Rats all around the world *drool and dream of coming to such a place where they were treated like royalty instead of starving...scavenging...

However, all rats knew that the journey/race to India would be a life changing,perhaps even fatal adventure...goal...but most are willing to take that risk...for the rewards would be priceless...worth it...



As u can see...starvation can drive rats to do the most gruesome,abhorrent things...and rats don't like to further tarnish their reputation as being the bearer of diseases and filth...Therefore,the possibility of never being hungry again is a very appealing condition to be in..

Unfortunately...not all rats want to share this "treasure"with other fellow rats...

So, these selfish rats result to.......*drum roll....(with an eerie tone...)murder....muahahahhaha....
first of these methods include drowning other rats..

..tricking them into staying on the "yellow brick road" which would lead them to cheese paradise...sadly,these gullible mice end up being rolled over,flattened,and smashed by ignorant drivers....

These selfish rats drew pleasure from their evil schemes...This was still not enough...avarice for the prized treatment in India grew each day..and soon...while some of these selfish rats laughed,other selfish rats betrayed their "team" of killers....

The betrayed were caught by human...*i'm scared....this rat said....*let me outta here!!


Unfortunately, these betrayed rats met a horrible death..their bodies couldnt be saved for a proper funeral as humans(esp Taiwanese....) seem to make food out of everything possible..slicin their tails of to be deep fried and preparing the body of the rats for....

RAT STEW!....you can find this dish in Chengdu...seriously...


We can only hope that the poor souls of those innocent,ambitious rats are happy in heaven...Whilst the selfish ones...after turning against themselves all ended up being captured by humans and thus face a near future of being slaughtered by humans for consumption..how sad is that?

that's the life of a rat...

even in the year 2008...

=p







PS My first attempt at such things...bear with my un-funniness..hahhaha =p

=)

I Wait

I wait for you,
anxious to see your face.

I stand and watch,
looking for the first sign of your arrival.

I finally see you,
I take a second look to make sure you're really there.

My pulse races and I crack a smile,
this is what I've been waiting for.

You begin to approach,
you say, "Sorry, I'm late."

I say, "No problem."
But I think to myself, 'I'd have waited forever.'

Love is not needing a snooze button on your alarm clock

because when it goes off the first time in the morning

the thoughts of your loved one make it impossible to fall back asleep.

*blur...

hahaha...Xin introduced me to the game Jawbreaker on Joshua's PDA....got hooked straight away...

Was walking outside( in the pitch black darkness) to Xin's car so that we(felicia,josh,wan tian and Xin) could go to Xin's hse for worship practice...

As i was too busy focusing my attention to the game, i walked blindly...

Ended up walking STRAIGHT INTO the BACK OF XIN'S CAR!!!

and when i realised i bumped into smtg...i just looked up and said "oh...."

Then everyone just burst out laughing...including myself..

ahhahahahha...oh man,,...how blur am i???

*beaming...

So proud of myself...=)

hope 'it' doesn't wear off!!!

get there in time!!!

*fingers crossed...

A comedy about growing up... and the bumps along the way

You must watch "Juno"...It's absolutely Really funny...(like actually funny without being stupid like jim carey...=p)it's serious....it's eye opening....it's sad....it's lively....

I noe this post is kinda long...but if u really appreciate real humour,read it...it's a treat...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(this just explains the name Juno...ahhaha)

Juno: My dad had this weird obsession with Roman or Greek mythology or something and he decided to name me after Zeus' wife.

Mark: Zeus' wife?

Juno: Well, yeah, I mean he got a lot of lays and stuff but this was his wife and supposedly she was beautiful and really mean. Kind of like Diana Ross.

************************************************************************************

Juno: You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

************************************************************************************

Juno: I think I'm, like, in love with you.

Paulie: You mean as friends?

Juno: No, I mean, like, for real. 'Cause you're, like, the coolest person I've ever met, and you don't even have to try, you know...

Paulie: I try really hard, actually.

***********************************************************************************

Juno: Yeah, I'm a legend. You know, they call me the cautionary whale.

************************************************************************************

[at Juno’s ultrasound]

Leah: Dude that thing looks freaky.

Juno: I am a sacred vessel; all you got in your stomach is taco bell.

************************************************************************************

Juno: As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni.

*************************************************************************************

Juno: You should try Adderall.

Su-Chin: No thanks. I'm off pills.

Juno MacGuff: Wise move. I know this girl who had a huge crazy freakout because she took too many behavioral meds at once. She took off all her clothes and jumped into the fountain at Ridgedale Mall and she was like, "Blaaaaah! I'm a kraken from the sea!"

Su-Chin: I heard that was you.

************************************************************************************

Ultrasound Technician: Well, there it is. Would you like to know the sex of your baby?

Leah: Yes!

Juno: No!

Leah: Pllleease!

Ultrasound Technician: Plenty to be suprised about when you deliver.

Juno: Well, you know, I want Mark and Vanessa to be suprised, and if you tell me, I'll just like, totally ruin it.

Ultrasound Technician: Are Mark and Vanessa your friends at school?

Juno: No, they're the adoptive parents.

Ultrasound Technician: Oh. Well thank God for that.

Bren: Whats that supposed to mean?

Ultrasound Technician: Well, its just that I see a lot of young mothers come through here, its obviously a poisonous environment for a baby.

Juno: Wait a minute! How do you know I'll be such a poisonous environment! How do you know Mark and Vanessa wont be some, crazy, whacked out pedophiles or something?

Leah: Or stage parents?

Bren: They could be utterly incompetent. Theres no guarentee they'll do a better job raising this child than my dumbass step-daughter will... What is your job title?

Ultrasound Technician: I'm an ultrasound technician.

Bren: Oh yeah? Well I'm a nail technician and I think we both ought to just stick to what we know.

Ultrasound Technician: Excuse me?

Bren: Oh, you think you're hot shit 'cause you get to sit over there and play pictionary, well guess what? My five year old daughter could do that and let me tell you, shes not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed. So until you have your own kid, why dont you just go back to nightschool in Manteno and get a real job.

Juno: ...Whoa Bren! You's a dick! I love it!

************************************************************************************

Juno: Ow, ow, f***ity-ow! Bren, when do I get that spinal tap thing?

Bren: It's called a spinal block. And you can't have it yet, honey. The doctor said you're not dilated enough.

Juno: You mean I have to wait for it to get worse? Why can't they just give it to me now?

Bren: Well, honey, doctors are sadists who like to play God and watch lesser people scream... [Juno lets out painful scream, Brenda checks her watch]

Bren: S***. [to doctor]

Bren: Hey, can we get my kid the damn spinal tap already?

************************************************************************************

Mac (Juno's dad): In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

Juno: I sort of already have.

Mac: Well, of course! You're old D-A-D! You know I'll always be there to love and support you no matter what kind of pickle you're in... Obviously [nods to her belly]

Juno: I need to go out somewhere just for a little while. I don't have any homework and I swear I'll be back by ten.

Mac: You were talking about me right?
