End of Nov

Its been a loooong time since i've last blogged..

So heres what has happened since then..

Delia, gone back to kuching.. But i don't think i've dreaded it as much.. Though i'm happy for her that she is happy back home with her man as she called it.. =) Halloween happened with belle, charlene, june and others too.. I think the best halloween i've had.. haha.. Without the enthusiasm of everyone it wouldn't have been fun.. Awesome awesome..

Then it was exams, the same routine again for the 3 weeks !! It was absolutely boring going to broadway to eat almost every single time we had to eat.. Made some mistakes during the exams, not really formula problems but numerical errors so just hope they don't cost me the exams.. And the last exam damn f**king f**king f**king f**king tough man, and the worst thing it was in the human movement gym with out any aircon whatsoever in 39 deg weather.. The paper was so hard that even my friend that was teaching me said it was hard.. Hopefully i come out unscathed.. Plz god let me be fine..

During my exams we had a rubbish bag in the sink that was definitely getting very full and yet a housemate who was free and all he did was just add to the rubbish and just go back to his room.. Even with the landlady coming doesn't even make an effort to vaccuum the house with his free time while others were having exams..

Anyway the day after my exams i flew straight back to Singapore.. Home sweet home =) From which i had my fix of prata and chicken rice.. Then jetted off to Hong Kong and Macau where i spent about 8 days of pure shopping and eating shopping and eating with baby.. I definitely feel fat after this trip, you can't imagine the number off egg tarts i have eaten.. HAHA.. There was the debate of which egg tart was better, and i can conclude in my opinion it is the egg tart from Hong Kong by a million miles..

And now i'm back home.. =)

Almost the end of september..

In just about one and a half weeks it will be the end of September.. An email was sent by the uni saying that exam time tables will be out in probably 2 days or there abouts?

So what has been happening since.. Assignment assignments and projects.. AHHH I hate this sem.. Delia is gonna go back to Kuching for good in like 6 days time and that is another reason why i hate this sem.. No more random lets go for dinner.. Life is gonna be boring again, go to uni study then come home and repeat for the next 2 semesters.. Sigh sigh sigh.. Why can't people that I really enjoy hanging out stay rather than have to leave.. From my first sem till now it always happens.. Why does god do this to me..

Anyways just had Search for a star 2010 and i think it was pretty fun.. This year was fun participating in it again.. Just that it was so time consuming with all the practices and assignments.. And also my slacking.. omg.. Need to really do my work soon..

Sometimes..

Sometimes in me i just wonder..

Why am i here..

What am i doing here..

Why do i wanna do this..

Is it worth doing this..

Why is life the way it is..

Why can't life be more simple..

End of Aug

It is the end of august.. I think the 5th week in to uni now.. It has been a good 5 weeks of uni so far, except for when I twisted my ankle from a tackle playing football almost 1 and 1/2 weeks back. I swear i couldn't walk properly for 2-3 days? And I had elephants leg, it just looked gross, till now the swell is still there although it isn't as bad as it was.. This set back is gonna cost me what ever stamina i built up running since i came back to perth.. Picked up learning Brazilian jiu jitsu with a couple of friends and it has been a really good experience.. Really tiring but so worth the cardio work out..

Anyways all the reports and assignments are starting to pile up and i still don't have much motivation to do them till like maybe 1 week before? I know that at one week there is still time but I know i shouldn't be doing it..

"You're my past, my future
My all, my everything
My six in the morning when the clock rings
And I open up my eyes to a new day
My laughs, my frowns
My ups, my downs
It's the feeling that you get
When you know that something's true
When I think of love, I think of you"

For you..

Till next time..

4th week of uni...

The 4th week of uni is about to start.. OMG!!! AHHH!!! My first lab will start tomorrow and then one more on wednesday.. Meaning that i will have 2 reports to do and a project proposal for my third year project.. This week will be fun (sarcastically).. SIANS.. Studying has to begin from now.. Seriously like NOW..

Miss u baby..

Just haiz..

Sometimes I dunno what I should do.. To say or don't say? I don't mean to hurt you but somehow i always do.. I'm really sorry for the things that I unknowingly do to hurt you..

Till next time..

2nd week of uni..

Its now the 2nd week of uni.. I think the only thing I miss about home is being with yenlee.. If she could be here it would be absolutely perfect with the friends I have here and the life over here.. =)

I would say i have started to exercise pretty regularly, last week was the start of my resolution to run.. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I ran, Friday and Saturday I played football and my legs were really really tired.. Had to rest on Sunday.. HAHA..

Talking to Belle about friendships and the life in Perth, I think my life here has had the best balance it has had in the 2 years that I have been here.. Thanks to the friends I've made.. I don't know why I keep talking about the friends here now, but I think thats because I have found where I belong right here.. I know I used to feel lonely and dread coming back to Perth but now I know that I don't.. Thank you friends.. I hope you know who you are if you read this.. =)

Till next time..

The rollercoaster ride of happy and sadness has begun..

So i'm pretty much free the rest of the day.. I really miss the peck on the lips or on the cheek, and also the hugs.. A few more months to go..

Uni this semester will be a real challenge.. 4 units all have something which is 60% or higher.. EP has a 70% project, 2 have 70% final exams and the last one 60% exam.. OMG.. Why can't engineering have something that allows us to pass first like commerce or something but in the end when we do have something like that, there is also the fail component like you must get 35% from the final exam.. Engineering sometimes really SUCKS!!!

Another friend has graduated another friend has gone home.. Friends that i seem to build some kind of bonds with always seem to go home, but those that are a pain in the ass haven't left.. One and a half years more till i graduate.. At least i still have some people around in perth that i can call my friends and not some acquaintances whom i'll probably never ever contact once i don't see them.. Hopefully they don't all leave as quickly as well.. Sighz..

Till next time..

Adam

Just a few more days..

A few more days and i'll be going back to perth.. Saddening.. But what to do right? 1 and a 1/2 years more till freedom.. Hopefully nothing goes wrong and i will graduate.. I've already been studying for 2 freaking years.. Sooooo long..

Till next time..

Day 2 in Penang

My 2nd day in Penang and its been an awesome food adventure.. from waking up at 8 in the morning and going to eat Hokkien prawn mee to having wan ton mee, chee cheong fun, ondeh ondeh at one coffee shop and then just down the street stop to eat goreng pisang, chempedak and kuih ku doh or something like that..

Then travelling down to the Kek Lok Si temple where there was a huge kuan yin statue made out of bronze apparently.. It was quite a sight to see.. Spent like an hour or slightly more looking around and snapping photos.. It was a pretty hot day and after the breakfast that we had felt so lazy to move around.. HAHA.. But after coming down from the temple we went in search of the famous Penang Laksa in the area at the market, we found one and it was really crowded so we assumed that it was the one that we were looking for haha.. Sat down and initially ordered 2 bowls for the four of us, but when i tried the soup i knew i could order one for myself.. It was practically one of the best Penang Laksa's i've tasted.. After that we had muah chee and siew pao.. The siew pao was nice and hot when we ate it..

We then made our way down to Jalan Penang where we went to search for the famous Chendol which we were asking around since yesterday.. Today we asked an old man where the stall was, he told us the direction to walk and all that but later as he rode his bike further up, he stopped at the street where the chendol was and pointed to us where the stall was located at and guided us to the stall.. What an awesome Encik man.. The chendol stall is just a roadside stall where people stand around holding their bowls and finishing the chedul as its spelt here, filled with gula melaka, coconut milk, red beans, green worm like jelly and ice.. It was freaking awesome..

Then it was off to find the peranakan mansion.. We thought of taking the car down to the restored mansion but a lady heard us talking abt it and told us that it was nearby and we could walk there, but with the heat and the distance it wasn't a very good walk.. haha.. My feet ached and felt quite crappy after reaching there.. It wasn't all that great cuz the peranakan mansion though some parts authentic it wasn't very well planned out and was a slight disappointment.. We had to take a long walk back to the car then went to look for a place called Gurney drive.. Filled with all the hawker stalls it looked good from the outside, but hearing from a local friend we made our way to a more local spot called Jalan Macalister.. There we had lots and lots of food.. Curry mee, Char kway teow, Sting ray, O Luak, Chicken wings, Chye tau kueh, Cheng teng, and there might have been some more that i missed out.. BUT !!! It was an awesome food adventure.. Back to singapore tomorrow..

Till next time..

It was a good day..

It was a nice day today.. Woke up early today and i was supposed to go and run but.. I was lazy and didn't feel in the best of health to go and run.. But thats just an excuse.. Then had lunch and went to JB with yenlee and her sister.. Didn't do all that much except eat and just walk around.. The only thing i bought the whole day was a magazine.. lol..

Ever eaten an Auntie Annie's pretzel before? In singapore its costs like 3+ SGD? But in JB it cost 3.20 RM... OMG half the price for the same satisfaction.. LOL.. Then there was Seoul Garden for dinner.. Which was also just as cheap.. And lastly before we left we went to Secret recipe to eat some cakes and omg the Caramel Cheese cake was the bomb, not that sweet but just perfect and the cream cheese was awesome, the base had pecan nuts in it.. It was absolutely divine.. HAHA..

Till next time..

Bored and sick..

My throat has been killing me the day.. I feel so tired but i just can't sleep throughout the whole day.. Never felt this sick in such a long time.. All the germs from yenlee just as i came back and she was recovering.. So all that i've been doing the whole day is stone at home trying to recover from the really painful sore throat taking medication and trying to get as much shut eye even if i can't really sleep.. I also know i was just on the verge of being sick when you can feel the ache in the bones or joints.. It has been a really long day doing absolutely nothing..

Watching Avatar The Last Air Bender.. Only watching the cartoon now so that i know what the movie will be about.. hahaha.. but its been a pretty good cartoon so far.. Quite entertaining to watch, so hopefully the movie will be good based on the trailers so far =)

Gonna try and get some rest for the night.. Good night world..

Till next time..

Its the 1st of july..

The first of July...

The start of a new month and when my exam results will be coming out in about one and a half weeks time? I think.. But hopefully based on the thing where i can check the number of credit points at the parking permits i have already passed all my exams.. Just a matter of how well i will do only and with fingers crossed i can do well.. My most confident semester to date..

This has also probably been the best semester to date.. No more friends who forget i even exist.. Sad part is one of probably my best friends from University will be leaving cuz he has graduated and is leaving perth probably for good.. What a short but really really awesome time spent.. Thanks for the memories.. Hope there can be more in the future.. =)

Its so so so so good to be home.. There is Yenlee, family, food, durians and especially no worries of exams.. what more can a guy ask for right? I just recently played mahjong after such a loooong time.. And i ended up totally playing for fun no win no loses.. So sad man.. Family time has been good with all the makan sessions..

Till next time..

19th June..

i'm just about to go clubbing and i'm now blogging.. haha..

Anywayz.. exams have already ended, these are the few exams i've actually come out feeling pretty good about them.. although they have carried on longer than usual it has now ended.. Which is an absolute sigh of relief..

I've never ever really been a big fan of watching the world cup, but since its in South Africa and the timings are just about right to watch.. Why not watch right? but honestly speaking its not that exciting to watch.. don't find it one bit exciting.. Tomorrow i'll be going on yet another road trip, a road trip every semester so far.. awesome.. always something different.. so exciting :) and lastly next week by this time i'll be at home.. home glorious home.. all the food and all the people..

Till next time..

Adam

Random timing.. =)

I MISS HOME !!!!

i just wanna go home... and i know thats pretty close.. which also means that exams are pretty close.. which also means wth am i doing typing this blog right? lol.. tiredness and no motivation to study today.. last night was a long night studying till 2 and then i had to wake up at 8 in the morning to go to lecture.. tired tired tired..

what sucks too is that my laptop which is the one thing i almost really can't do without when i'm here in perth is slightly incapacitated.. i still can use it and all but the thing is the adapter wire burnt out on me.. i have no idea why but i had to order another one from ebay as the one when i went to see at dick smith to take a look at, would have freaking cost me a whopping $109, whereas ordering online though i don't think its the best quality one is only 17++ Aus just that it takes 3-8 working days to get here and that could mean like 2 weeks.. its been about 9 days in total.. not working days, since i ordered and its still not here..

life sucks studying for exams.. must have that motivation.. Common me.. i can do it..

but what has turned out pretty cool so far is this semesters cell has been super enjoyable man.. you know that most of the time u will find friends who will probably just become acquaintances aft hanging out for a while here and there.. but there could be close friends formed here..

Till next time..

Its been a while...

Hey to those who read this blog... To Linus and belle and to others whom i don't know if u read this too.. :)

Anyway uni's 4th week is ending soon.. the projects have piled up and the suffering has only begun.. SOOOOOO many things to think about.. I miss home everyday, but i also like it here at times.. What to do What to do???? I also miss the simple hug, my hand around the shoulder, the little pecks on the lips..

Since i've been here i do nothing but stay at home, go to uni, some sports here and there.. What else can i do? Its been great that i've discovered a great group of friends that i can really talk so much nonsense with.. Haha.. Its damn funny i tell you.. I've also been working for the last few weeks since uni started but its been so weird.. Never really had a permanent shift yet, keep jumping around on shifts.. WHY can't they just put me on something permanent and give me the two shifts that i really want !!! ARGH !!! Never mind, i shall just wait till the holidays to make all that money..

On to sports.. Liverpool has been one of the most boring teams that i have watched since Gerrard Houllier was in charge of Liverpool.. Watching Liverpool play against Wigan, I would have rather watched Hannah Montanna at that time.. omg it really sucked.. I still say fire Rafa Benitez, I think its time for a change in managers.. He's had six years to try and change the club but up till now...... We still can't get close to the top..

Till next time..

Adam

Start of uni... AGAIN !!

The starting of University once again which is on Monday the 22nd of Feb.. Which means that I am officially in Perth yet again.. Leaving the people that i love behind again.. But like my friend Kelvin posted it is one more step to graduating.. I've throughly enjoyed my stay back in Singapore for that three months..

So Bored...

Till next time..

Adam

Turn of the year

The new year is upon us.. though not so new since i'm only posting now which is the 11th almost 12th of jan.. But this year is a new year and everything that was done in 2009 should be forgotten.. Not really everything but just forget the bad stuff and always remember the good ones but learn from the bad ones.. I hope and pray that this year will be a good one and that bonds with friends and family will get stronger.. This year will mark a quarter of a century, oh how i feel time has just passed me by.. Graduation, Work, Marriage, Family all await me in the next few years.. What can i expect from all this?

Uni is gonna be starting soon, one months time in fact.. I'm really gonna miss home again considering i'm probably not gonna come back after this semester for holidays just to work in perth and save up some money so that i can have a good trip down to Hong Kong at the end of the year with Yenlee and friends..

So far since i've been home i believe i've thoroughly enjoyed myself so far, except for the working part which i have no choice but to try and earn my own keep.. Gone to kuching where i ate non-stop !! Watched a musical, watched movies, shopping.. And i'll be going to genting soon.. Woohoo..

Till next time..
