Anastasia

I have been a useless person for the past few days. Watching korean drama from days to nights, sunrise till sunset. It is an extreme burden to my eyes. Yet I still have to recommend a very awesome korean drama :

This drama is a mixture of comedy+romance+superstar+angel's voice (their voices are really awesome!!) The story began with a girl who was on her way to Rome to pursue her dreams to be a nun. Her dreams started to be mixed up when a celebrity personal assistant came and claimed that there was a failure in her twins brother's facial operation. So she had to substitute her brother for a while to be a new vocalist in a current famous singer team A.N.JELL.(angel). HaH, and that began her journey of dressing up and acting as a guy. The fabulous part is all the theme songs are so niceee.... This drama is even better than the korean drama 'Boys over flower'.

&

Later on, I just came across a Walt Disney movie that I shouldn't miss in my childhood : Anastasia. And wow! It gave me a goose bumps at the scene where Dimitri rejected the rewards of finding Anastasia from the queen. Awww, how touching is that.. when he rejected the rewards and straight away walked off from the queen. The queen asked, ''Why the change of mind?'' Dimitri replied,''It's more change of heart, I must go...'' And I noticed that this story ends with a special ending; Anastasia saved Dimitri instead of the usual classic fairytale of prince saving princess. How interesting is that... haha.. Maybe it wants to reflect that even gals can be stronger!

&

How my childhood quietly ends and my adolescent and adulthood begins in subtle. How I miss all the fairytales which greeted me in every sunrise and kissed me goodnight when the night falls. I remember where I used to celebrate my birthday when I was young. I could choose any of the fastfood restaurants in which all of them took turns in subsequent year. But I forgot since when I stop celebrating my birthday in one of them. And this's human's weakest part: forgetful; always go after something fresh and new.

&

How I celebrate my b'day tis year? it was on Monday and I hated it!!! Because I had to go uni T.T But I think I sort of celebrate it a day before it (sunday). Having lunch in a hong-kee restaurant, only to find out that someone was paying for my lunch as my b'day present(>.o!!) I thought that paying the bill for me was just his way of returning my money. But, when we went to karaoke, he paid for my drink again and explained that that lunch was my b'day present (swt o.o!!) Honestly, I was not complaining. Because, compared to the gifts I was about to receive the next day, I prefer that lunch better. At least the present lasted for about an hour and then digested. Haha.. and later on we went for dinner in Sizzler then home. And this was how I greeted the day I was born 20 years before: Sleepy and tired and with booming greeting messages when the clock strucked twelve....

&

someone was too shy to sing me a b'day song...

&

Tomorrow will be a great day again!! Drama! DRAMA! DRAma! my life is full of drama..(with my sis still having exams 2mr.. HAHAHHAHAHHA.......)

lalalala~~

I feel so relaxed right after the exam, can't imagine how I was so stressed yesterday. Yesterday was my sis, Cindy's birthday. We planned to go celebrate with 6 people: Khin & his gf, louise & her sort-of bf, me & my sis.... but it ended up with one going to a group meeting n another one gona stay at home to decorate the house for another fren's b'day the next day... So there's just two of us: me & my sis, going to a small japanese restaurant.

It's name is Sushi Station Fuji. The restaurant is so small & I dun think it can be regarded as a restaurant.. erm, maybe just station. Yet it makes me feel so warm. Like I have been walking all day long into a small village in Japan, hungry and exhausted. Then, suddenly I spotted a small house with soft lights reflecting through the window and there is a sign that reads: Welcome all travellers (in Japanese)... just like what I have been imagined in my childhood.. hehe..

Okay, I ordered a something that its name ends with bento & my sis got a terikayi udon. Mine was assorted with fried fish, teriyaki chicken, sashimi & miso soup & it's awesomeeeeeeeee!!!! dining in a not classy place but with great food made me so comfortable. With japanese songs playing in the background, we chatted happily like there is no more things to be worried. When the waitress came and asked how good it is, I could only replied her that the portion was too small (and I am still hungry ><). Next, we ordered a red bean mocha ice-cream & it's so awesome too.. haha. The dishes were quite expensive, but not as expensive as the Matsuri (a very fine restaurant in city).

It reminds me of Nishiki (my all time favourite). But its fried fish is really better than Nishki. Next time I gona try its bbq fried squid (must be yummy....)

The rest of the night I spent it with a taiwanese drama- black & white:

and yet, AWESOME!!!! it's not about romance, love all that stuff. But it involves actions, forensic science.. So exciting until I wana finish it in one day(& I going to finish it today!!)

I wonder when the b'day girl is coming. So, they can give her a big big surprise & then I can get to eat my lunch, Bak-kut-teh!! sometimes how I wish I am louise's friend. Happy Birthday to the going-to-come-here-n-have-a-big-surprise gal. Where are u? my tummy hurts =)

one more n I am off..

With 2 more days to go until my last exam, I am sitting down here with my mind going blank...

I am tired of studying, tired of walking, tired of waking up n then found out I am still in the same place, facing the same people I don't wana face... I am losing myself.. I duno who I am anymore.. i DUNO wat I want anymore... I can't listen, i can't eat, i can't speak... i can't even breathe..

& that's why.... Los Angeles here I come, there I go... hah!

& that's going to be true =)

2 weeks before when i checked my email, i received an exchange acceptance from the University of Carlifornia, Los Angeles. I was so thrilled for a second that I forgot who I am. I am accepted as an exchange student for a semester. How I wish it is a year (*that's is a long story behind this, come back later). So I will be flying to USA at the end of December, not celebrating CNY with my family and friends for the 1st time! & it has always been my dream(erm, not really..not referring to not celebrating CNY with F&Fs is my dream) to be in a different place without anyone I know, anything i am familiar with... So... to be in one of the coolest and biggessssst city in the world, I doubt if I can live on my own...

1 week before, i attended a predeparture session. & my tutor sat next to me! How can i believe that the cutest tutor in the civil school is actually going for exchange as well, but not LA... Pennyslvania he is heading... sob sob T.T & I only found out at the end that I am the only UWA student going UCLA(my 1st preference), others....not Berkeley then other places.... Excited & sad at the same time, my dream is coming true (heading to a strange place on my own).

I will be living on the campus which I has always been thinking to go for it. Now, Wishes may come true & the consequense is... bear with it. How scare I am now... to arrange all the accommodation over there.. how lucky i am to recently found out that my sis's fren's uncle lives over there & he offers to pick us up in the airport... Haha.. Lucks may not boost up one's mood, but it makes things happen faster... wHat am I thinking now.. should be happy and ready for it!!

& that's for now... good luck to my geomechanics =)

Feeling Alive

I never feel so great after encountered a 30 mins memory lost in a car accident last month. Never feel so appreciated that I still got tons of assignments piling up and their due date is around the corner.

Accidents really happened out of expectation. It was when my friend, cousin, sis and I were planning to go watch the Caroline in a cinema. It was when we were at a T-junction. It was when I was not the driver and I happened to sit behind the driver seat. It was when it was hit on my side.

The next thing I knew was I was standing outside the car, watching the broken down car, with my sis and cousin standing beside me. The airbag was out and broken into pieces. The day was getting darker and raining lightly. I was blanked all of the sudden, trying to figure out where I was, what I was doing there. As I couldn't remember anything, I cried and kept asking why I was there (Believe me, it is a very scary experience when u can't remember anything at all!) All I could do was keep asking and crying and checking my mobile phone's inbox to try to remember with whom I have contacted and what I have done that day ( but unluckily i cleared all my messages on my way to the cinema)

It was all back when I was inside the hospital, when the medic left me alone on the bed, when I recalled the song played by my cousin before we left home. My memory came back with the rhythm of the song playing inside my brain.

It was a month ago, 14th August (Date-not-to-be-forgotten) but it seems like yesterday. All my memory in the past started popping up from my memory box.

So when I was helping my cousin doing her revision, I told her that if I can go back to STTSS again. I won't be that hard-working anymore (as in not being a nerd, not being a top-student) if only I could start over again (Maybe I wil try to be a copycat.. erm practicing some external skill during exams*wink*, maybe should try out more in the school sports team). If only I could start all over again, then my memory about my high school life wouldn't be all about study, stuDY and STUDY!!! (I miss high school life!!!)

I am lucky to be busy, happy, sad, frustrated, angry, depressed etc etc... more than anything else!! at least I am myself again =) *I hate assignments and reports!!!*

P/s: Always drive safely! U know I care >=)

long tym no see -^

It has been quite a long time for me to post something up here, so welcome me back again.. haha =) it feels weird to see someone around you growing up so fast. Time passes like rocket... it really waits for no man and tide.. but I do really hope that it waits for me since I'm a girl.. haha

Life is good. But it doesn't always like that. Now you're at the top of a hill, the next moment you may be at the bottom of a cliff. From what I learn to survive through this every-second-changing-world, i can only tell myself that self-healing is the only solution. Time changes, weather changes, things change, human changes, even friends change... but how come I am still the same old me? still the weak one, still hesitating and staying at the same place.. watching all the people passing and staring the unsure and curious me. Standing at the same point, hoping to stay in the past, not wiling and not having the gut to face the future with unknown variables. I will only be myself again if I keep thinking the past..

Under some strange situations and reactions that u aren't anticipated, it only startles you to go back to where you think you should belong and to rewind back to where u have done wrong. It makes me so sad to think of the stuff that is going out of control, out of my mind. But what can I do is helplessly stare up to the sky, plead for the sun to dry out my tears and ask for the wind to blow off my sadness. Sadness and happiness is only one word difference. Just like black and white which can't survive without the existence of the others. Only under the shadow we can find a beam of hope. Only experiencing what is suffering then we will understand what is enjoying.

Now I am in a grey zone, neither sad nor happy. But I truly believe that the next day when I wake up with a ray of sunlight shining on me, my smile will be reflected from the mirror again. =)

That's what people have been doing during holidays....

Texting/iphone gaming etcetc..

Daydreaming etcetc..

Hand and leg stretching/sporting/losing weight etcetc..

Baking/eating/gaining weight etcetc..

But me... *sleeping*napping*shopping*worrying exam results*being excited to go s'pore*exhausted*happy*sad*worry*angry*

7 more days to go back KK!!!

Indulgence

Only food can brighten my life...

Ever seen the egg that can dance?

Or a delicate Japanese cuisine which you probably may have tried 8 years ago..

Salmon Set

Soft Shell Sushi

Katsu Curry Chicken- My favourite

The above Japenese dishes are served in a Perth Japanese Restaurant: Matsuri. It has been quite a while for me to discover this superb restaurant. 8 years ago, when I was a little kid, my relatives brought me to this restaurant. With all the walls of the restaurant made of glasses and a mini fountain located near the entrance, my hidden memory of that restaurant suddely flashed back. I am totally fond of Matsuri! But it seems like the Matsuri in the past looked more high class than the current Matsuri. Maybe Matsuri looks better under the shadow of the night.

Matsuri Japanese Restaurant: Hmm.. It did look better at night :)

My 1st Drawing

Exam is over. Finally I can take a good long rest. Honestly I don't really do well in the exam. Normally after I said that, I will then be shot back with "If u don't do well, how do we do well at the same time?" and also a weird glimpse from my friends as a reward.

When exam is still a long way to go, I have to plan a timetable to finish all my study. But when exam is over and holidays start, I am in dilemma whether where when what how I should do... HOLIDAYS IS SUPERB!!!! I am having holidays now!! ooo-phoo!! not to mention my upcoming 3 days shopping in s'pore!

The following pics are the reasons why I didn't study well during my study break... I used around 4 days and nights to finish it. Half of my study break was wasted in this only 30% weight assignment.. oh boy.. I used Autocad to draw a simple trolley in elevations, plan and 3D views. The 3D view is the most difficult part since sevaral different angles and the height have to be considered. If this assigment was not carried out during the study period, I might even find it enjoyable because it was like drawing cartoons haha.. and I might be the next top animator :)

Elevation, Plan and Side Views

3D view of a simple trolley- my best friend in market places!!

Exhausted

OMG... I got a feeling that I'm starting to lose interest in studying.. maybe I'm too tired during this 2 weeks for the exam. I long to change the environment. My social life in Uni is like errrrr, I think I dun have much friends in uni. Sometimes I even ask myself, why do I come to perth? Why engineering? Why not USA? Why not anywhere else? Although I am in the process of applying for the student exchange program, I dun have much confident that I can get it.

Yesterday my friend called and informed me that 2 of her friends got the places to go for exchange in the coming semester in England. I was like 'wow, is it so easy to get into the place?'. When I submitted the application on the last friday, I was the #1700++ applicants.. that means I am competing with 1000++ people to get into the exchange program. But they may be from another faculty. I wish I can leave Perth for a while. I just can't stand it why I hate here so much. Damn it.

Aja Aja Fighting!!!

yoYOyo... I FINALLY got a DISTINCTION for my final field report!!! haha!!

I failed my 2nd and 3rd report and passed my 1st report. In fact, I should get a credit for the 3rd report because I almost meet half of the marking criteria but I was too lazy to put any diagram in it. For the 2nd report, I think I deserve the fail for not doing it properly. But, for the 4th report, I not only bring a camera to video-recording the whole explanation of the lecturer, but also end up with almost 1 full page of colour, detailed diagrams and then I got a Distinction.. Hooray!!! and then I got another full mark for my 2nd maths test again... Yea!! It's the time for celebration!!! *although I still think that I deserve a HD for that report...*

Ahem...

Beginning of exam countdown: 11days 16hrs 0mins 30secs (T.T cannot celebrate liao..)
End of exam countdown: 17days 1hrs 57mins 20secs

Going back KK countdown: 39 days ++ (YEA YEA YEA!!!)

ok.. time to study.. wish me luck.. I need to get a good result this time XD
AJA AJA FIGHTING!!!

There is still sumthing good about staying in civil course since i got a brand new TOSHIBA laptop offered by my faculty.. erm.. it is very heavy, ugly and big(series model: satellite proA300)... internet rating is not good for it... and I still like my old VAIO alto it doesn't have good spec but with better appearance..... hahahaha.. face it, this is the fact...

What a day~~

Now.. at this very moment.. my new home at perth is packed wiv about 12ppl.. wow~~ it's like opening party.. no mood to study since the avy nex second I'll hear PIANO SOUND~~ ON9 GAMING SOUND~~ AUNTY'S 38 SOUND~~ N My very own inner voice "QUIETTTTTTTT!!!" ahhhhhhhhhhh.. i caanot survive alr!!!

2day afternoon i was a roasted duck... i have been under the sun frm 1~4p.m. really OMG, thankfully i still remember to bring my cap n sunscreen.. the surveying thing really threathen my life, my skin tone... urghhhh, i think i'll get more tanned not 'will' but 'am' now~~~ yea,, gals really are not suitable in doin civil engineering since... u need to carry about 10-15kg tripod wiv sumthing looks like a video-camera on the top AROUND(so go get a male partner!!) n then another ~5kg stuff wic looks like a big n long ruler.. n then wiv all tis stuff u gona measure the height of the land wic we refer it as lever... juz imagine, u carry the big ruler standing in a specific position (stand for about 10 mins or wait till ur partner to say ok) n then ur partner survey the lever of the land through the video-camera thing n then it takes turn~~~ i was supposed to finish it early but since sum readings were taken wrongly n me n my partner chose to redo it again.. arhhh.... However, it's quite easy.. juz make sum adjustment, take the readin carefully.. n it's quite cool too since avy1 walking across will be wondering wat u're doing right at the middle of the uni's field looking through the sort-of-like-camera thing!!! I really can't imagine in the real exam how i'll be doing tis since the exam's takin place at sum construction site n it's done individually!!! Wish me luck XD..

Last Monday went to Mt. Quarry to study rocks... wow, i'm quite pro now.. ask me rocks n i'll giv u sum names.. DOlerite, pegmetite n granite.. it was such a boring field trip since the speaker juz purely used his voice to explain the situation there without any assisting devices such as megaphone n oso with about 100++ ppl sharing the his sexy voice!!! v had to note down avything he said n later submit a report... so me n my fren had to rush to the front, stand right in front of the lecturer to hear clearly wat he said.. An old man with a sexy voice.. haiz...

The magnificient huge mountain right behind of us!!!

tata XD dun wana write report o.o sob sob.. i hate it~~

Again..

Here I am.. staying up late for the video thing... if only i am a comp expert(but i dun wan to be a comp geek), then maybe i can finish it earlier. N i won't need an adviser to show me how to do tis n tat. If only juz now i don't go to play pool, then i will detect the problems earlier. Dvd sample 1 failed.. duno y.. dvd sample 2 failed.. since i want to make the dvd quality higher, so i cut out many parts of the house dancing(except of coz blue house) but soon after i published it n then burned it then i realised i 4got to put the transition bac.. so i stopped the burnin process n directly destroyed another dvd again... i m the dvd destroyer!! really sorry for the dvd sponsorer.. gona buy some more 2mr..
