Ever pissed someone off?

Shall you ask them how you pissed X off? or shall you just leave it? I guess it really depends on the person. I'm in this dilemma and I have no idea what I should do. I know for a fact that I have clearly pissed this person off. Not exactly knowing what I did wrong, but I could only guess. Knowing this person for so long, it seems such a pity to break such a friendship. sigh...

I shouldn't be thinking of things that make me sad. But I cannot help it! Sometimes its difficult asking someone directly what I did wrong. That's why mutual friends exists. They can help break up the 'weirdness' i guess?

At times like this, you start to reflect upon yourself? And you'll start asking questions like, am I too opinionated? am I too judgmental? am I too in your face? am I hard to get along with? am I too annoying? do I lie too much? am I a dickhead?

Thinking about these things, they are the aspect that makes me who I am! Then how on earth did I become friends with this particular person in the first place if X has accepted who I was back then (assuming I didnt change much)? I know people change and people change their preferences... sigh...but i guess thats how friends are lost at the same time.

Promises

2011-11-22T12:08:00.002+11:00

First. Should update on whats happening.

Approaching to the end of the exam period! Last week I had three exams. I actually had 2 weeks of swot vac to study for these exams, but it turned out I didn't study till the last minute. Partly due to the iphone coming through through the mail on the 1st week of swot vac and then we had maplestory adventures on facebook.

Anyway, Business Forecasting was the first exam. I spent a few days studying that subject, and I was most worried about this one. Luckily, I passed... I think!! Unless the lecturer decides to scale down my mark cos everyone else is so smart in the class...

Then came about Organisational Fundamentals. I spent a few hours review the subject. I think I did quite well considering the time spent on that subject. I wrote 4 essays in 3 hours. I tried to answered the questions to the best of my ability... but not sure how I exactly went. I did some questions better than others but yeh... Should pass also since I had a pretty good internal mark going into the exam. Oh, I had this class mate who rang me in the morning of this exam, asking me where the exam was... lol. That was hilarious. Seems like this class mate just didnt care?? But dunno... maybe he was just mucking around.

Then when I got home, I relaxed for the whole night because I just had consecutive exams on 2 days. The next day I was freaking out because I only had one day to review economics. I was going crazy! But it turned out to be okay. Section A I could only do 2/5 questions properly. I did answer the remaining 3 questions, but was really unsure. I think it was section B that got me over the line. I know I certainly did well for 1.5 of the questions, hence should pass because it was worth so many marks. But I stumbled on the last one, as I did a really careless mistake and it carried through the entire question!!! So was kinda pissed about that.

Now... I had one week to study for my final exam. So what do I do? I procrastinate. I go and do everything else besides STUDY! Look at me now, I am blogging on here when my exam is in 1.5 days time!! arghh!!! Bloody Modern Applied Statistics...

OKKKKay... lets get to the main topic. I'm just going to keep it short. But don't you hate it when you think people who are your friends and make promises... suddenly just back out on their promise? Like backing out is okay as long as they have a reason. But for someone to just back out of a promise without notifying me is another. This is what really disgusta me. I really hate that. Someone did this to me. This person has made a promise YONKS ago. Now... this person pretends that the promises never seem to have existed!! Maybe I am reading too much into this, but from a friend's perspective, I think I should of been told. If the person forgot a promise, I personally think I should of been told what this person was going to do, because its kind of a big deal what this person is actually doing!!!!!! And for me to find this out through other people and facebook? What a joke! So I'm going to ignore this person for a while and if this person tries to talk to me, then I will talk, but just give a one worded answer like this person has done to me. Or until this person has said sorry of some sort. Just really unfair on me. Thats enough bitching I hate bitching, but sometimes I really have to get it out of the system!!!!!!!!!

I am in semester 2, 2011... and its already week 8.

So whats been happening so far? Assignments? Work? Things?

I did the Census gig last month which was great. a couple of grand in my pocket for doing exercise during the weekends and weeknights. Well worth it I reckon.

Uni has been okay. Some terrible subjects. Business Forecasting... Modern Applied Statistics, Organizational Fundamentals, Managerial Economics.

Economics is actually okay, because I did a similar subject 3 years ago. BF is just horrible. I have no clue what's going on. MAS... hrm, I should start studying that subject. and OF, it was quite interesting in the first couple of weeks. Now it is just dull as! But friends make it okay and makes you look forward to uni. I think if my friends didn't go to the lectures, I don't think I would personally turn up!! I had uni from 9am to 8:20pm today! JUST HORRIBLE. Tried to sleep in the arvo, but totally failed. Couldn't fall asleep because the desk wasn't too comfortable. I think I should go back to Commerce Library. They have such comfortable couches. I fell deeply asleep last time!!

Enough about the 'surface' conversations of things... let's talk something more meaningful...

Have you ever felt that you have been under-performing in a task? You know you could do better because you have done it in the past. But a combination of other things, and laziness has prevented you from doing what you want... just totally fails....!!! And you would just want to prove that you are capable of doing something? So people may stop to think that you a bloody wank and a dumb-ass and also looking down on you.

But the feeling is great as when you can finally prove to people that you can actually do it!! I got that feeling today. Re-establish myself i guess. But I still got a lot to prove. I guess that's what makes life so challenging and interesting at the same time. But makes life and feelings more satisfying if you get what I mean.

Should sleep (after xfactor)

G'day my dear bloggers.

Its been quite a while since I blogged on here. So lets get you up to speed to what's been happening in my life.

I think its been a good 5 months since I blogged on blogger.com. Not sure what motivated me... but what the hell...

Okay, so, God and luck was on my side last year. I passed all my subjects. Some of my subjects got scaled up. I knew I was going to fail cos I know I didn't get enough marks in the exam to pass. But surprise surprise, I passed everything. Not with flying colours, but enough to get my degree.

I got accepted into masters. luckily I just scraped the entry requirement (or not really... long story i'll say) So now I am doing masters. and it is HARD! it takes a lot of effort. It requires a lot of time (which I don't exactly have on most occasions). I feel like just doing 2 subjects each semester because I feel 4 is way too much.

I decreased my hours at Coles to 10 hours a week. But I am part-time. This is partly because I wanted to study instead of work work work. BUTTTTTTTTTTT... that kinda failed because I have a new job at the university. I am a tutor. Tutor as in a sessional tutor who takes subject tutorial classes. So I teach, help and correct their assignments. That alone takes about 5-6hrs a week of work.

So... nothing much has been happening in my life other than the things mentioned above. I still enjoy TVB, I got hooked up to fb games during the holidays then quit, but now i'm playing another one - monopoly millionaires, I play stick tennis. Still watching glee and nearly up-to-date with the big bang theory!! :P

Tomorrow is Good Friday. Got nothing much planned. Probably going to have an easy day.

Parents are still gone on their 1 month 'business' trip. They are back nxt Thursday. Which I can't wait! I want them to come home now! So they can cook me good food, wash my clothes, and make my lunch! I have to do that now! But I am getting used to it. But it would be nice for them to come back soon. (partly because they bought me a new sexy uni bag... and laptop case (yes, i have a laptop now :P)... and i want to use it now!!)

Okay, I better go and try and beat ivan lendl now. i'll been trying for weeks. came really close a couple of times... but always fail on the last game. he just so happens to be able to break my serve so easily!

okay... toodles_

p.s. there's this lecturer who makes funny expressions every now and then in lectures. he cracks me up. owen jones is the guy. ho-raa... honkie-dorey. ect ect...

End of Exams

2010-11-26T14:12:00.002+11:00

Exams ended yesterday. shit! failed 2. i think i did okay in the other two. but fuck. 2 subjects failed!

Failed as in failed the subject - having to repeat the subject agian. Not ur 'asian' fail.

Now I hope I can get sup exams. Or else I really have to come back next year and do 2 subjects and delay my graduation, post-grad and everything else in life.

Holidays now. working at the election on Saturday! And then gonna try and ask for more shifts at Coles. I'll check in again later!

Whoever is reading this probably thinks this is the boring-est blog ever. its not like other blogs with pics... and other random stuff. *sigh* there's no real gimmick to this blog. Its just plain old boring me!

All this blog is about are some lame stories of my life.

well I got one. I was studying last night right. Finished at around 12am. Then I thought I should reward myself for procrastinating so well till 12am. So I decided to watch this TVB game show with some of the actors/actress in the drama I'm currently watching. Then about 10min into it, I hear 'knock knock knock' on my door. Then I thought to myself, who the hell could that be? First I thought it was a ghost cos... I've been watching so many ghost shows on TVB lately and the first thing that comes into mind as of late are G-H-O-S-T-S... But thankfully, it was just my mother. She came in, and told me off for staying up so late and told me I should really got to bed because I have work in less than 6 hrs time. Then she peeked at what I was watching... and she was like, wow, that looks funny, can I join?... ROFL! First she tells me off, now she goes and watch TVB with me for another 20-30min or so. WTH! I think the word for her is hypocrite! But I find it quite funny. My mum gives in to any kind of TVB. Just like me. Like mother like son (actually i know it should of been like father like son, but dad doesnt like tvb as much...)

Sigh... I hate this feeling. exams. nerves. failing. being unsuccessful. so down atm. neglect. tong emails. esp with everything thats going on right now. what am I saying!? all crap!

Procrastination!

2010-11-10T10:59:00.003+11:00

You can tell when I am proratinating pretty badly...
-I've been more active on facebook than ever
-I've started new facebook games
-I've started a new TVB series
-I take notice of how birds like to come pass our outdoor kitchen...
-I'm listening to some lame K-pop music
-I'm about to youtube
Lastly but not least...
-I've blogged 2 times in 2 days. Must be a first on my blogspot!! gah!!

Toodles^

And so it begins

2010-11-09T17:57:00.004+11:00

Exams started today. Had one. Totally failed. It was a 80% exam. Was kinda aiming for 70s or 80s. I don't think I came close to it. Partly beacuse I went mind blank and partly beacuse it was too hard to be finished within 3 hrs.

I have 2 exams on wed and fri. Worth 80% and 70% respectively. Dunno how I'm gonna surivive to tell you the truth...

And then there's this exam the week after which I literally (when i mean literally, i'm not lying) dunno anything about. Extremely worried I tell you. This is my last semester. I don't want to come bak to uni nxt year to 'finish' off my subjects because I don't have enough credits to get my bachelor degree...

Oh. I'm procrastinating already! Look, I'm posting on my blog. Next I'll be playing my facebook games. Then I'll be happily watching my tvb dramas. *SIGH* no wonder I never do well on exams. No self-control... HA!

toodles!

i wish...

2010-10-22T23:17:00.002+11:00

Sometimes I wish I studied during the semester. so then i don't have to stress about cramming the whole course during swat vac and the exam period. got 2 more assignments to finish off. get those done, then i shall start studying for my exams...

Sometimes I wish my folks were rich. So then I don't have to work. So then I have more time to do some other stuff...

Sometimes I wish I was more organized, pro-active, and managed my time better...

I did wish for a new desk chair. And I got it. It's one of those high back panel ones. Its not leather. Just your normal office chair with arm rests. but its comfortable. its not completely new. it was off ebay. 25 bucks. I can actually lie on my chair now and watch tvb w/o damaging my neck. what an awesome chair. its worth it!

toodles...

Exams!

2010-10-14T21:49:00.003+11:00

Arh, exams are coming up! And I'm not ready. Crap!

Also. Got one of my assignments back. Was only worth 5%. got 17/20. My grades seems to be slipping down. First i got 15/15, then 18/20... and now 17/20. What's nxt? 15/20? I hate assignments where they don't tell you the amount of marks for a particular question. And they give more marks for 1 stupid question than a hard one. Like it doesn't balance out. A hard question was worth like only 5 marks out of 20. And the tutor said there was only 1 person who got it right entirly (me)... but i did have a little help with some research on the internet ^^. But there were x3 easy questions for the 1st qustion, and they were worth 3 marks each. I was so careless, and got one of them wrong. Damn it! I'm so stupid!! I would of been the only one of a class of 80 to get 100% on that assignment. But oh well, it was only worth 5% and you can't have everything. And I did kinda cheat. But it would gave me a sense of accomplisment (of some sort).

What else has been happening? Nothing much. A friend gave me an umbrella randomly. She see me sometimes bring a huge umbrella, and sees me not bringing a umbrella when it drizzles cos i said it was too much trouble. So during the break, she flew to Shanghai to go to the Shanghai Expo, and when she came back she gave me an umbrella. Like the small ones. ^^

I think there's not much else to talk about. Been doing to usual, uni, work, sleep, tvb (new series nxt week ^^)... and what am I going to do in summer? Who knows. Let's wait and see... or should I say let's get these exams over and done with first before thinking about freedom for 3 months.

Toodles.

I better post before August is up!

2010-08-27T19:44:00.003+10:00

HAHA. I'm trying to make an effort to post at least once a month. Seeing its nearly September, and I haven't posted in August, I thought I'll do a quick blog post now! Or else it will be like my last blog... on MSNspace! i.e. posted regularly, and then slowly... slowly stopped posting. I want to keep this blog kind of consistent and in existance! Oh look that, did that just rhymed?

Life has been ordinary. Uni, work, church... Nothing much is going on. But I am trying to make an effort to go to church nowadays. Just trying to go everyweek. I knew before I was super slack with going to church. Like, I only went on the days I played piano. But for the past month or so, I've been going whenever I could. Not whenever I feel like it. Even though I feel super tired from a 9 hr shift at work, I'd make an effort to go. Unless I am ill or I have a massive assignment due the nxt day. So thats the story with church so far.

Work... one of the guys I usually work with, went on annual leave. The guy usually does the front bunk work. He comes in at 5am, puts the ice on the bunks and then puts the veges that will go well on the ice. Now he's on annual leave, I have to do it. But luckily I don't have to come in at 5am. I just come in at my usual time around 6am. But I must admit, working at Coles is pretty physically demanding. In some sense, I wished I had another job. But realistically, I'll never find such a job which is so close to home, where I can walk to work, save time on public transport, and can go home for lunch! (and get paid reasonably wel). But I wish I could work somewhere when I just sit there all day and use my brain or not having to move around like a mad chook trying to get things done! I've been trying to see what kind of jobs I can get with my degree. Even though I don't "officially" finish my planned course until 2012, I want to see what I can do in the future. Because I don't want to be suck at Coles for the rest of my life. For a number of reasons really. I want to earn more money, I want something that is not physically demanding, and I want to do something that actually relates to my course and shit I've been studying for the past so-many years you know? But the industry is so narrow. And you need to be good at speaking with clients. And obviously, I'm not the "good-at-speaking-kind-of-a-guy" type! So I dunno whats there. But I'll trust in God that He'll provide me with something (hopefully)

Uni... sigh! end of week 5 already believe it or not! And it seems Ive havent learnt much. I'm doing all maths this semester to complete my major and finish my bachelor degree on time... (after changing from one major to the nxt so many times =.=) Luckily, my degree is so flexible so I could do that! But I wish I could have done a double degree, i.e. com/sci! or even just stuck to something. Not changing my mind all the time. It frustrates me! But oh well, should be graduating by the end of this year (if I don't fail any subjects). Actually, speaking of failing, I'm quite worried for some of my subjects. i.e. Complex Analysis. Its really complicated and complex. LOL. And the lecturer doesn't help. I should be really helping myself by looking up the material in other textbooks or even ask the lecturer for help. And what I do... I procrastinate and watch TVB. I only got 70% for my first assignment. and thats really crap!! :( Cos for maths subject assignemnts, you would want to try to get 100% on the assignments because the exam is worth 80% of the subject. So you need some cushion from the assignment marks so won't get stressed out when exams come about. Discrete Maths. Its interesting. I wouldn't mind learning it, but I'd hate to get assessed on it. We learn heaps of stuff. i.e. counting. Statistics is such a horrible subject. I spent hours doing this assignment last night. Trying to get it done. 13 questions for just a 5% assignment. It's really not worth the time and effort! And each of the question is not easy as well! It totally stressed me out. Decision Making is probably my favourite subject. It probably has the worst lecturer, (same lecturer as graph theory) but the computationally wise of the subject is exceptionally easy! But some concepts are hard to get your mind around it. But I do find it really cool! Got 1st assignment back. Was really easy! easy 5% achieved.

okay, thats enough of blogging. May see you next month hopefully!

Toodles!

bak to uni!

2010-07-26T20:15:00.002+10:00

oh oh oh! bak to uni today!! Can't believe a month of holidays just flew past just like that!! Im not happy!

So what has happened over the past month? first week, I literally did nuthing. I had to recharge my (body) batteries because I was literally dead after my exams. They were just too painful. What I actually did was just slept in, lay in bed, watched tvb, kdrama, and did some deep cleaning of my bathroom and vacumming the house.

then i was luckily enuff to work full time at work for the nxt two weeks. On a positive note, it meant I have more moneys now, and I can happily spend it all. On a sad note, its actually not that much (after tax), I comprised my holidays to work and I didn't have time to clean my room...

then for the 4th week, I started uni a week earlier than everyone else. Well, most anyway. I did a tasting 'wine' course. It was quite fun. I did it with a mate. And I made a couple of friends while I was there. Which was nice... but it was so draining. On two of the days of the week, we started at 8:30am and we didn't finish until 7:30pm. But if the lecturer didnt re-schedule the breaks, we would of finished 9:30pm instead!! *shocks* Having said that, I had to leave the house at 7am and I didn't get home until 9pm ish... I shall talk more about wine soonish! But I feel I have accomplished something i really wanted ever since. So I can tick one of the boxes of my life's goals :)

Oh. I got my results for my subjects. They were okay... Prob one of the more consistant semesters I had. Barely passed one of the subjects though. But having said that, I didn't really study it, nor really paid attention in the lectures, nor been to tutes, or did any of the problem sheets. LOL! But I was kinda expecting 60+ and not as low as 53!! And with the other subjects, I was expecting close to 90, but not low H1s. But a H1 is a H1 i guess... Can't complain!! :)

Oh, and one more thing. Why does embarrassing things always happened to me on the 1st day of uni!? 1st semester with the lift incident. Now this semester, the road+tram incident. I shall NOT elaborate. 'cos its too embarrassing!!!

toodles.

its over!

2010-06-29T14:49:00.003+10:00

yup. exams are indeed over! Dunno if I passed all of them, but we shall find out in 2 weeks time. At the moment, I don't give a shit about my results. Well, actually I do hope 2 of the subjects that I put time and effort into, will actually give me good results. and the last two... i dunno. A pass??? pls?

Anyway, how will I spend my holidays? who knows! Work possibly? Go out? Watch TVB? Though my holidays are cut short to 3 weeks cos I have to go and do a short course on 'wine' :) I'm going to learn about how to drink wine, their differences, where they are from ect ect. So that should be quite interesting.

For now, I'm just going to bum around home, clean and relax! I'm downloading a drama. "I'm Sorry, I Love You." A Korean drama which my friend told me to watch a while back ago. Of lately, for some reason, I'm getting into the whole 'korean' side of things. I enjoy listening to k-pop! It was k-pop which got my through the examination period. It sounds so catchy (even though I do not understand a word they sing... but sometimes they have english words here and there)...

Anyway, toodles! I'm going to do some houeswork!

1 down, 1 more to go

2010-06-24T19:39:00.005+10:00

So disappointed in today's exam today. It was so hard! I was anticipating a similar exam like previous years. And in previous years, all the exams were pretty damn easy. It was do-able and it was possible to get 100% on it.

So why am I disappointed? Well, tbh, I'm not disappointed in myself and my performance, what I was more disappointed about was the fact that the lecturer set some outragous exam questions which made it impossible to do. At the end of the exam, everyone was turning around and bitch'ed how hard the exam was!! Compared to last year's paper, this paper would of probably been twice as harder? They were questions that we never came acrossed! And they were questions that were very tedious and difficult. Not a happy camper! But I did all the other questions and hopefully I computed them all correctly. Even the first question I stumbled on... but I eventually got it after leaving it out at the beginning.

I'll be honest with you. I was aiming for a 99 in the subject. I never got over a 95 before, let alone a 90... my highest came out of was Engineering Maths which I came close in breaking the 90 mark for the first time. But that was unsuccesful. But with this subject, I did so well in my assignments and test. I got 29 out of 30 marks overall. But now I have doubts in getting a H1 because of this exam. I was hoping I could crack the 90 mark for the very first time, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. On the other hand, if I did the subject last year, it would of been a different situation... life goes on!

I'm not disappointed in my performance. I reckon I faired alright! Considering there's an exam tomorrow that I had to think about as well. But I AM disappointed about not getting a 90+ for this subject...

I'm utmostly screwed for tomorrow's morning exam. :( Wish me luck!

what is considered bad??

2010-06-22T19:43:00.003+10:00

Today during dinner I got into the discussion 'what makes someone a bad person'? with my parents. My parents started listing examples of their friend's kids saying they are bad because of such and such. Having known the people they were talking about myself I tried to defend them because I personally they are not really bad! One example they said this kid is bad because he lies to he's parents that he is going to tutor, but instead he uses the money that the parents gave the kid to tutor for other purposes. Then I was like...right, thats considered bad in your books? I just don't understand why that is bad. Well to some extent it is because you are stealing from your parent. But come on, who hasn't stole from their parents and lied to them? I can say I have. I remember I stole coins from the car to buy snacks when I was primary school. Prob because all the other kids have canteen snacks except for me. They don't know what other 'factors' out there that makes a bad person. So I started listing things like the kid takes drugs, having one-night stands and kills people. And my parents said, well those are extreme cases and if that happened to us we won't even consider the kid actually related to us at all. We will pretend that we never had that kid before. How loving is that? But what I was disgusted about them the most is that they talk about other people's kids and how bad their are without thinking whether there is another side to the story. Because all they are hearing are just the parents side and sometimes adults can exaggerate! *sigh* parents... they always think they are right. And when I try to tell them my point of view they stop me, and say no no no, that is not right, because I am right. Its probably because they listen to too much chinese radio and reading too many of those chinese books...

2 down, 2 left

2010-06-20T21:36:00.005+10:00

I've done 2 exams already and have 2 left. one on thursday and one on friday.

thursday's one. I think i'll be okay once i get through the material and do some practice exam papars. we are allowed a cheat sheet so I can write stuff on it. so im not too worried about that. but I do want to do really well in it, since I've only last 1% in my assessment so far. so I want a decent mark for it. but the exam is worth 70%... :(

friday's is shitting me cos I dunno anything. I shall study some of friday's exam maybe later 2nite. its worth 80% and I'm a bit worried. cos its hard! :( But I shall try my best to pass it~

the first exam I did was probably the most important one. it was worth only 50% BUT BUT BUT... the marks for this subject will be contributed to my average to get into my Postgrad. So I had to do extraordinary well for it. I spent nearly 10 days studying intensely for it, covering all the dervations of forumalas and trying to understand everything. And what it turns out, none of that was examined :( what a total waste of time! but I think i did okay to get over 75? maybe 80+? who knows...

2nd exam which i did a few days ago. I think that went okay. I had a week to study for it, but i practically procrastinated for 4 days. it wasn't until after the 4 days I felt the "importantness" and how the exam was approaching. it was only a 2 hour exam and only worth 50%. I was smart. I only studied the sections that i thought it would be on the exam. Cos I remember the lecturer saying that there will be 9 topics that will be examined on the exam but we only chose 5. So I went through the course and drew out the 9 topics and then picked the 5 that I was most comfortable with. And (thanks God) that all the ones I picked were exactly on the exam XD! Although at times I went mind blank and didn't know what to write. But since it was a management subject, as long as it made sense, its logical and somehow complies with the theory we covered, then it will be partially right. Unlike maths where its either right or wrong, management you can bs your way through and still get marks. I answered everything and wrote like a crazy man. Wrote like 26-pages. But then again, I had massive writing and you know the exam books they have huge margins and lines. so in actual fact it ain't that much. But anyway, my hands was tired after the exam and I was so relieved I got that exam out of the way. I know I wont get H1, cos I didn't do well in my assignment during the year. But I know I did well enough to pass, and hopefully a decent mark too, not just a P.

Now I shall go and study. I dunno why, but it seems like throughout these weeks Ive been putting tvb first instead of studying. I'm really up-to-date and I'm loving the new sit-com with 李司棋, 黎耀祥 and 毛舜筠... and the other one with 林峯 & 楊怡. XD.

toodles...

hi

2010-06-07T18:11:00.002+10:00

I told you I'll come back when I procrastinate... hehe!

Stories. I don't have stories to tell. My life is been really boring for the past week. I've been sitting in front of the computer intending to study. But that failed! Instead, I've started a new game on Facebook called My Empire. Pretty fun! Its a bit like SimCity. You know what SimCity is? Don't know then bloody wikipedia it! Maybe I should go to uni and study like everyone else... but nah, I'll just get even more distracted and I'll get tired when I come home. I'll just lock inside my bedroom and 'try' to study... Exam is on Friday. Been learning this subject from scratch. A bit worried... cos I need good marks on this subject to get into my postgrad nxt year! Yikes!

Weekends are never uni-related productive

2010-05-17T10:45:00.002+10:00

Here we are again...

I never enjoy weekends even though they are uni-free days. And even though I make money at work, I never get any uni homework done. When it comes to the following week, I then learn I am stuffed because I haven't done any hw for any my subjects. Then when it comes to the tutorials, I look like a total fool cos I dunno anything!

Take this weekend for example. I aim to get x2 maths assignments out of the way + start on my huge OR assignment (+ oral) + prepare for Supply Chain Management tute... but what has turned out?? I just got 20% done of one of my assignments. =.=

Weekends are always hetic. And never get 'me' time. Like this w/e, I had a a split shift at work on Saturday, in-between a 21st... then sunday was a 9 hr shift + church afterwards. When I got home each day, I was just wrecked. On both days, I had dinner and watched TVB afterwards. I couldn't even stay awake for a whole episode. How sad is that?? Goes to show I was really tired.

I'm skipping uni today! Trying to get some shit done~

I shall return soon! When I start prcrastinating again...

habit...

2010-04-27T22:42:00.003+10:00

its becoming a regular thing... whenever I procrastinate, I start to blog here.

nuthing much's been happening. but... I did went to a few concerts recently! Lady GaGa and Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly Clarkson was the highlight! I had front row tickets. Which meant there was not a single head in front of me when I had my "Kelly Clarkson Moments" ... *day dreams* oh my, Kelly Clarkson standing right in front of me, singing her hits... and then she looks down at me! OMgoodness! What an unbelievable moment/feeling that was! I know she saw me, because I made eye contact with her for a brief second. My next goal: To touch Kelly Clarkson~ Even though I was front row, there was a massive gap between the stage and seats. It is where the security guards stand to stop anyone from jumping onto the stage. I just want to hug her and tell her how I adore her so much. hrm... maybe not, bit gay isn't?? but I surely want a photo with my idol which I started liking her since she released the song 'Breakaway' and confessed my feelings for her every since she sang 'Since U Been Gone' LOL! XD (just kidding)

Been to 4 Kelly Clarkson gigs. 3 Official ones, and one as a secret event bak in '08~

Ah, better do some hw. Maybe I'll watch 1/2 an episode of some tvb first...

embarrassment

2010-03-02T20:42:00.005+11:00

thought i would share one of my embarrassment moments with you. it all happened on the first day of uni... and i was going to my lecture for graph theory... its at a new place which I never been before. its sort of off campus, like you have to cross the bridge to get there. but anyway... on with the story...

instead of walking across the bridge, I walked up the stairs on the side of the building, because I was already on that side of the road right... cos if i was at campus, I would just cross the bridge from on the david caro building. anyway, I walked up the stairs thinking I was at level 1 of the building. You would think that cos it didnt seem I walked up a lot of stairs. And I remembered that my lecture theatre was on level 2 of the same building. I walked around... exploring, still thinking it was level 1. I thought I would be smart for once and take the lift instead of walking up the stairs again cos I'm such a lazy bugger.

So I waited for the lift. I went in, and there were 2 people already in there. And I pressed the number '2' and the light appeared. And I was like... good, I don't have to walk up the stairs!! Once i pressed it, I closed the door on the lift, the lighting on the level 2 suddenly disappeared. At that moment I thought to myself... SH*T, was I already on level 2?? couldn't be, cos I looked around already.' when it arrived at level 3, i saw the number flash at 3. So I DID get on at level 2, and I was already at level 2. I was so embarrassed! cos there were people in the lift. and they saw me press number 2. and clearly I was in lvl 2 already. Anyway, I stayed in the lift, and went back down to the level I got onto the lift.

Who is that stupid that you wouldn't take a peak around and look for signs to see what level you were on? I guess... ME!! I'm that stupid! *sigh* luckily no one else saw me got onto the lift besides those two people that were already in the lift. Thank-goodness they weren't students either, they were just construction workers, so I probably won't see them again!!

Thats my story. i'll check in again another time.

naivety

2010-01-14T21:08:00.003+11:00

i'm like watever now... not going to try to make an effort. like whats the point when you know its not gonna work out? but a stupid side of me always think, "yes! it'll happened!!" I'm not gonna bother anymore. If they want to fix it, then they can go ahead and take the initiative.

Déjà vu really... seems like the same thing has happened exactly a year ago. i hope things won't turn out as before because a part of me really regrets what had happened!!but i think i made the right decision right?? too late to mend it now. so naive of me in some sense, expecting something to happen... but obviously i know it won't!!

seriously... *sigh*

Holidays

2010-01-04T22:47:00.003+11:00

Well... I'm officially on Holidays! I've earned enough at Coles for the past 5 weeks and now I'm going and try and get my life back together... clean up my room... clear out my wardrobe AND... plan for my overseas trip. WHOO! Off to singapore, hong kong, south korea, cambodia and quite possibly to Japan too. XD

I wonder if anyone still reads this even though I've taken the link off MSN. Well I highly doubt it... cos I don't think anyone has actually bookmarked my blog. So I guess I am talking to myself these days with this blog.

laterz.

mixed day

2009-12-22T10:27:00.006+11:00

yesterday was so wasn't my day. a mixture of good and shit things happened. I think today's entry I'll just talk about the good things.

good things:
-my computers are faster now and its practially like brand new thanks to a mate
-my new camera came in and it looks spanking awesome! the sony tx1... :P
-born rich is getting so exciting!
-traffic was nice to me

haha. the bad thing. just lol... very lol. oh well. i guess theres a good side to what had happened. 你知道吗？我有点发怒... but what is happened has happened. so i'm over it.

Now I'm gonna go to work and make up for all the money I have wasted in the past few days!

passes marginally

2009-12-15T10:50:00.005+11:00

Once again... I have passssed a subject marginally this semester. Well, every semester I have a subject where I thought I was going to fail but I somehow have 'done' enough in the exam to pass it.

1st year, Semester 1 - Informatics 1: Passed the exam which was a hurdle by 2%. (exam: 50%)
1st year, Semester 2 - Linear Algebra: Scored 50 overall. (exam: 80%)
2nd year, Semester 1 - Real Analysis with Applications: Scored 50 overall. (exam: 80%)
2nd year, Semester 2 - Discrete Mathematics & Operations Research: Scored 51 overall. (exam: 80%)

Seriously, I don't think I have come across anyone who has been lucky with scraping passes like me! You would think after 2 semesters (or even 1 semester) of scraping a pass you would learn from it and study hard for your subjects next semester. But its not the case with me!

I guess they were relatively hard subjects and seeing that I 'kinda' knew my stuff, the examiner probably just gave me extra marks here and there...

What am I doing now? I'm trying to put all my TVB stuff on DVD so I have enough room for nxt year's TVB shows. Reflecting back, my favourite TVB theme song has to be the 2002 Feel 100% [百分百感覺]'s [Two Boys, One Girl] (两男一女)!! Its so catchy!

christmas uniform

2009-12-08T08:17:00.003+11:00

HAHA! I have to wear this to work for this month! I didn't want to wear it at first cos red is just NOT my colour you know? But after 90% of the staff was wearing it, I had no choice but to wear it to feel part of the Coles team.

Last week I worked full time hours. I am quite surprised I am doing it again this week. Cos the only reason I did full time last week because one of our full time worker went on annual leave, so I he's shifts. But this week I am just an extra on my department just to help out. I was like 'wth, you want me to come in as an extra for 21 bucks an hour?' But of course I didn't say that to the manager. I just said thanks for the shifts and thanks for picking me instead of the other casuals. I practically 'stole' all the day shifts from all the other casuals (yet I cost twice as much as some other little kids).

I can see the store manager turning me into a part time worker soon because I cost so bloody much!

Christmas is coming up! More hours! More public holidays and more public holiday pay rates! I'm not getting much of a holiday. Haven't caught up with mates since my Chinese exams. Well I have, like here and there but just not as much as I should be... But I will do so after I've earn enough to travel to Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan and KOREA! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coles.

2009-12-01T00:53:00.004+11:00

haha. coles gave me 40hrs this week.
full days on sat, sun and mon.
and 7 hrs on tues + wed. i can hear the money rolling in. ;D

so me have no holiday just yet... well i kinda did last week. went out some friends in the arvo after my chinese exam, then went to britney spears with a friend at nite. oh gosh, wasn't that a bloody sh*t concert. totally wasted my money :(

i can't wait till I have my days off. I can actually do what I wanna do. clean up my room, do some more cleaning, and shove all my uni stuff into my wardrobe (whilst watching tvb).

okay, i should head off now, work 2morow at 9am. thank goodness i don't start at 7am as I've been for the past 3 days. and also thank goodness its only 7 hours 2morow too. so phew!

laterz.

♥ mahjong!

2009-11-17T10:17:00.004+11:00

Was playing mahjong before. oh my goodness, guess what? I just won 4k in 1 round. I can't believe it. cos the chances of winning 1 round is slim cos everyone else is usually really good. But i did x2 zhi mors, and killed everyone else's bank account. I feel so pro now and this totally just made my day!! Thought I would share it with the world...

eng maths

2009-11-13T21:01:00.002+11:00

I'm never going to forgive myself. There was this question on the exam today that I prefectly knew how to do.... but for some reason I couldn't compute it. I got up to about 70% completion of the question, and then I got stuck at this partial fraction decomposition section. I was sooo suck, and I didn't know how to do it. I was sitting in the exam today scratching my head wondering how I can decompose this partial fraction. I only found out how to do it after my friend told me after the exam. Then I had a look at my exercise book, and i have done it many times before. grrr! Isn't that frustrating?

I was counting on that section to get me marks. Cos all the other questions were way to hard to answer. There goes another failed subject. lol...

And... and, the first 3 questions were suppose to be my forte. Vector Calculus. I spent a whole semester on that section, and I could only answer 1 out of the 3 properly. ARH! So frustrating... I hate exams. I can never do anything rite...

mayday mayday! part 2

2009-11-10T05:48:00.003+11:00

exam in a few hours. i am quite surprised that i am up this early. not likes going to do any good, but its better than sleeping in and missing my exam? gahh! Chemistry does my head in. What makes it worse that I hardly understand anything. I haven't really been to the lectures nor read my lecture notes. I don't even need 50% on the exam to pass the subject. Doubts I'l get anything near that. Fail for sure today...

mayday mayday!

2009-11-08T02:04:00.003+11:00

I have a serious gut feeling that I'm going to fail my Chemistry Exam next week. No jokes! arh!! Oh well, I guess I can do an extra semester to make up for the subjects that I fail. No big loss I guess...

lol...

2009-11-03T23:49:00.008+11:00

today i went to uni for a revision lecture for chemistry. afterwards i went with my friend to the chem learning centre for extra help. totally useless really. lol guess what i did next? I left that friend behind and I went to do some downloading. so I could say to myself that I've actually done something productive at uni you know?

there were literally no one there at the engineering computer labs. so i was happily downloading my tvb updates.

until...

a friend came in. and he was like, 'let me guess, you are downloading arnt you? arn't you supposed to be studying?' lol... i didn't know how to respond to that. cos i am "supposed" to be studying!!

gosh, this really shows how much of a downloading addict i am! after that, i left straight away and went home...

bitching about coles

2009-11-01T22:17:00.007+11:00

Coles. blah. I'm getting sick of it. The only thing that's getting me out of bed at 6am to go to work on the weekend is the money (and being able to boss ppls around). but this weekend! ARH! far out. Had so much to do and we were short on staff. So what does that mean? I had to do all the hard work!! I was sweating like a pig to get everything done so I won't get my ass kicked by the store manager. Freak-en training managers can't do orders properly. They didn't order enough during the week, and when it comes to the weekend, I have to fix it all up. Why can't people do their jobs properly?

For instance, my salad section was completely empty on Saturday morning, and when the load came in, I had to fix and fill so much! Look at how many boxes I went through...
Look at my load... why cant people from the warehouse stack my shit properly on the pallets. I don't want banana boxes on top of my salads nor I want banana boxes on top of the lettuces. That's just stupid! and lazy! and it *** my stock!

What's wrong with those peoples?

Anyway enough of my bitches. I wonder sometimes whether people actually like reading about me bitching about Coles. I seriously wonder...

let's procrastinate...

2009-10-29T19:29:00.003+11:00

lol. i'm supposed to be studying for my Chinese composition test for tomorrow. But I am blogging here :) I wanted to stay home to study today but I went into uni, seeing it was the last lecture for one of my subjects. lol. Pretty much wasted the whole day. Was trying to sort of subject problems and stuff... which wasted an hr or so at the student center.

I don't usually rock up to uni on thurs, cos I only have 1 lecture. So today was the first time in 11 weeks I went to uni on a Thursday.

I'm going to watch Beyond the Realm of Conscience now. And then, hopefully... I'll start on my Chinese studying. I'm probably not gonna be sleeping tonight. Well... let's see how I go. Maybe I'll manage 2-3 hours of sleep. But no matter how little sleep I get, I'm gonna be a grumpy, bitchy, inconsiderate person tomorrow. So watch out!

living on 25cents credit

2009-10-22T22:08:00.006+11:00

For the past week i was living on 25 cents credit for my phone. I lived. I can't believe it!

After a week (yes, a week) my phone was finally recharged. stupid isim! this is the first time that it took them so long. I tried contacting them but they didn't reply until earlier today. The thing is with isim is that they don't have a phone number to call, only an email address. That's why their call rates are so cheap because they save money on employing people answering calls.

Think about this, 39 cents a minute with no flag fall and sms is only 15 cents . If you make a short call telling someone where you are, it wouldn't cost you more than 10 cents!! That's why I am still with isim~ I don't think there's a better phone plan than what I have now . for my kind of usage anyway.

addiction

2009-10-20T04:19:00.004+11:00

i dunno... but would you call it an addiction if you wake up 4am in the morning to download drama during my off peak downloading period?

anywho... ive just did and today is the beginning of 2 new TVB anniversary grand productions series!

Born Rich - 富貴門!
&

BEYOND THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE - 宮心計!

yay! I'm so excited. I don't think I had ever been this excited for a tvb series as I am now. Well actually I had, when I was watching Heart of Greed a couple of years back.

side note:
weekly weekend waste at Coles...

there's more where that came from...

unpleasant weekends

2009-10-18T22:09:00.000+11:00

i dislike weekends. for a number of reasons really. its just so hectic you know? I never get 'me' time and I always have to sacrifice so much.

for this weekend for instance. i worked my morning shift on saturday and then I had to race out to the city to get my teeth checked up. Then I went to the optom. Spent a while there picking my new glasses and getting my eyes checked up. omgosh, you wouldn't believe how blind I am now. It's gotten to the fact that it isn't funny anymore. lol. actually i still find it amusing...should of seen the look at my parents faces when I told them the degree of glasses I need now. Partly their fault for always telling me to watch TVB with them. but of course, they blame me for spending too much time in front of the computer.

sunday. gosh. work. church. oh man, music today was not cool. one of my songs were changed 'during' the service today because the wrong lyrics were up on the powerpoint presentation. not before the service, cos that would of given me some preparation to think, but pretty much on the spot the song was changed. thank goodness I had the music for that song and I was still able to play it. so phew! I was like wth. but i guess these things happen every now and then. By the time I got home parents dragged me inside and told me, let's watch tvbbb now... lol. Not that I don't like watching TVB but I was really tired from doing shit for 12+ hrs.

oh thats enough of my blabbing. on a side note. did I tell you I'm a huge fan of puff pastries. Oh my, I wish my dad was a pastry chef. I'll eat anything he makes~

msn you bugger!

2009-10-16T21:14:00.000+11:00

Having so much problems with msn. It keeps signing me in and out. I'm so frustrated with it. not happy at all... not happy at all!! grr... oh well, I guess its a good thing. No more wasting time on meaningless conversations (and more time devoted to tvb). LOL... though, I must get it fix soon!

On a side note, have you ever been stuck in between two of your friends and their bf/gf. like... you are standing in the middle between two couples. and the two guys and the two girls are having their separate conversations? Oh gosh, I was in that situation today. totally awkward! I was like, 'get me out of here now!! NOW!' Maybe I should go and find myself a companion! so... what do you call that? double third wheel? fifth wheel?

mad magpie

2009-10-09T18:12:00.001+11:00

Every morning when I walk to work or go to uni I go through this park to get to the bus stop/town centre, there is this magpie that sits on the lamp post.

As I walk through the park (its a short cut to the town centre) the magpie comes flying through and swoops right near me. It has happened many times. There was this one time I nearly tripped cos of this bloody magpie.

I've tried many things to scare the magpie. As cruel as it may seem, I have tried preparing myself to attack the magpie when I walk through the park. Not because I want to, but for REVENGE! I've taken a water bottle out and try to wet it as it tries to swoop me. I tried wobbling the tree that the magpie sits on after swooping me. Tried other things too, but I don't want to discuss it here in case I get reported for animal cruelty. No matter what I do, the magpie is not scared of me. It is more like I was scared of the magpie. Have I told you I have also tried yelling at it and cursing it? lol.

When I was walking home from the bus stop today... there were 2 of them! GOSH... Why haven't I tried walking a different route to get where I want to? Cos I'm lazy and its a good extra 3 min walk!!

what a waste!

2009-10-06T09:31:00.000+11:00

Look at the food going to waste!! Thats really not all of it. Just imagine another 2,3 more trolleys of bread that's going into the bin. That's the usual amount each day basically...

To be honest, that's nothing really compared to my department. Every Sat and Sun mornings I throw out a good trolley's worth of fruits and vegs. Maybe twice as much as that trolley above? The stuff I throw out are basically perfectly fine, but it's past the used by date. Other people don't do quality checks during the week and they expect me to do a good job on the weekend and fix it up! Hence I throw so much stuff out on the weekend! Sometimes this grandma always come and find me while I do the quality check and look the stuff I throw out. If she wants it, I usually just give it to her for a bargain price. Last time I gave her a few packets of truss tomatoes; rrp $3.99 a pack; best before today; perfectly fine; tomatoes still firm; sold it to her for 50 cents. If you wanna get some bargains, come and find me at Coles. I'm not a huge fan of throwing shit out when people in the 3rd world countries are starving to death!

procrastinating

2009-10-03T14:40:00.000+10:00

im so good at it! i literally just sat in my chair and surfed the web for the whole bloody day (and of course having tvb on in the background). I was reading msgs of forums related to kelly clarkson, tvb and other useless crap. gosh, and i was just randomly clicking buttons, playing restaurant city, farmville, country story and happy farm on facebook! I don't think anyone can do what I can do in terms of procrastination. I so should be doing hw. Esp chem and chinese. But i have something against stuff that starts with the letter 'c'. farrrrrrrr out!

best selling secrets

2009-10-01T11:15:00.000+10:00

I'm watching this series called 'Best Selling Secrets.' It has 364 episodes, and I'm up to the 243 episode mark. I really like this series even though its quite old. I really can't stop watching it. It's so addictive and I really like the storyline. I think I can re-watch the whole thing if I had time. It's probably one of my favourite long-term running drama series, alongside 'Off Pedder'. I can say I've watched over 5 episodes today, when I should of been studying some Chinese... oh well, I guess 1 more episode won't hurt. lol.

computer fixed

2009-09-27T22:14:00.000+10:00

Whoo! Thanks to my friend, my sis' computer is fixed! I can't thank him enough for fixing it. He keeps saying its nothing, but to me, it means the world to me!! Maybe not the world, but you get the idea... I'm so happy! Overly excited! I just can't express the happiness I have right now! Absolutely stoked! And the fact that he didn't take long to do it. Gave him the computer the previous night, and it was all done the next day. What a mate!

So why am I so happy? Because I won't get grilled down by my sis when she comes back (cos it was my fault to begin with and it's her computer) and its the fact that I can watch TVB on our plasma tv with surround sound. omg, thinking about it just makes me even more happy. But I guess its also a bad thing that the computer is fixed. My time will be taken up watching tvb in every spare moment I have.

Man, my sleeping patterns are so whacked. Its 5am. Work in 1.5 hrs. Then I don't think I'm gonna get home till 7pm today.

holiday shopping

2009-09-23T17:28:00.000+10:00

i hate holidays. I always end up buying useless shit online. Guess what I bought in the last 2 days... I bought a new pair of earphones and I bought a laser mouse. What a total waste of money! Don't you agree? But when I try to resist myself from buying such crap, I tend to buying it anyway.

Been on catchoftheday for the past 6 hrs or so. No luck. Was trying to buy the wii and the ipod touch. *sigh* Its impossible to get in. I reckon its rigged~

durians galore!

2009-09-20T21:36:00.000+10:00

Yesterday and today at work we started getting durians on our load to sell at Coles. So of course, any kind of new fruit we get we do a special "taste test." So then we are able to tell the customer what the fruit tastes like if they ever asks us. But it wasn't so much of a taste test for me since I have durians all the time when they are in season. But my workmates were like "what is that?", "WTFF??", "omg that looks awesome!", "ewww..." and ect.

I love durians! Its so yummy! But I couldnt say the same for my workmates. They hated the smell of it when I cut it open. They say it smells disgusting and say it smells as bad as garlic. Well, I say the smell of it is indescribable. My workmates all had a little bit of durian. Like only a little bit. They hated it. So? I finished the whole thing off myself. I didn't want the durian to go to waste so I ate the whole bloody thing! Whoo... it was so delicious. I can eat another one now!

你行不行?

2009-09-17T11:07:00.000+10:00

"我说你行，你就行。
我说你不行，你就不行。
你说你行，我说你不行，
你也是不行。
你说你不行，我说你行，
你还是行!"

"I say you're okay, then you're okay.
I say you're not okay, then you're not okay.
You say you're okay, I say you're not okay.
You're still not okay.
You say you're not okay, I say you're okay, you still are okay."

Do you know where that quote is from?

weird sleeping patterrrns

2009-09-16T01:06:00.000+10:00

opps... WHY? my parents didn't wake me up for dinner!! WHY? LOL. I planned to have a short nap at 6pm and wake up at 6:30pm, expecting my folks to wake me up for dinner. Guess wat? They skipped dinner and they didnt wake me up. And what's happened? I've slept from 6pm-12am. Now I'm fully awake and I dunno what I should be doing. I'm a bit tired to do hw, and I'm a bit hungry. But the thing is, there's nothing to eat downstairs because my parents skipped dinner cos we had a really late lunch today. I guess I'll start on the hw and prepare for my prac 2morow... I mean later today. The one in 9 hrs~ I'll prob go bak to sleep really soon though or else my sleeping patterns will be even more fucked~

keeping it short

2009-09-10T09:49:00.000+10:00

I have an assignment due at 4pm today. I just managed to get 1/3 done so far. So this blog entry is gonna be kept rather short. Man, I hate Linear Optimization. Well, it's quite interesting. But when you haven't paid any attention in class, doing the assignment for it is rather difficult. Because there are little tricks and shit that you gotta apply or else the tableau won't turn out right. And its very tedious! The lecture notes ain't clear and they don't fill in all the steps so when you read it, sometimes I'll go "wtf??". Anyway, I better get a move on because I need to go to uni "just" to hand this bloody assignment in so I can get some marks for it. Have no classes today as well~ grrr!

I'll leave this blog with one of my piano exam pieces. I've changed a few pieces from my List A (technical ) and this one seems to be my favorite! I wonder if I can actually be able to play it so precise, accurately and sounding as good as the guy did in this video?? LOL, getting practice for it is another thing too...

the Coincidental Catastrophic 4 C's

2009-09-05T21:57:00.000+10:00

the 4 C's - Chinese, Chemistry, Connex and Coles, which made my life so horrible within 48hrs on the 4 & 5th of September. It's gotta be the worst day for the past 2 months or so. I am warning you... this blog entry is gonna be long one. So if you don't have the patience, cbb to read it, STOP NOW. But if ya wanna... nothing's stopping you.

It all happened in the early hours of Friday (4th Sept). I woke up specially early to study for my Chinese mid-semester test. I slept at 12am ish, and hoping to wake up early in the morning to study for it because I was so tired from doing jack-sh*t during that day. I woke up at 4am. When I woke up at 4am, I thought to myself, 'hrm, a bit early hey? I don't need to leave the house until 7:20am. Let's sleep for another hour and study then.' Well, I did end up waking up at 5am ish to start studying. But it wasn't enough time to cram all those Chinese words from chapters 10-14 in roughly 2 hours. I got up to Chapter 13 and time was up. I had to leave the house to get to uni. I continued cramming on the train trying to cram those damn words. I had to do it, it was worth 10% of my subject mark.

Oh my, the test was so bloody hard. Most of the words I crammed in the morning when through one ear and out the other. I was trying to translate sentences in English to Chinese. I was having so much trouble cos I was tired from waking up so early. My brain was just out of the zone. It wasn't in Chinese mode at all. I started to speak in canto in my head to help me translate those bloody sentences. It helped a bit :). And for the stupid multiple choice section, I had a crack at it. But I eventually gave in and peeked at my mate's answers when the teacher went out of the class for a second or two. lol~ Well, I think I passed. I guess the main thing was that I tried...

Chemistry. My science elective. I met up with my friend after uni, planning to do the Chemistry Mid-Semester Test together. It was a multiple choice test done online. The lecturer said that the test will be put up at 6pm. I planned to do it my friend because I figured that 2 brains would be better than 1 you know? And also, I haven't really studied that much for Chemistry so if I got any help it would of been beneficial. We meet up at 3pm after our Chem lecture. We bummed around on the uni computers, you-tubing, playing mini games and doing other useless crap while we waited for the test to be put up. When the clock striked 6:00pm, guess what? The test was not online. So we decided to wait because we didnt want to leave to do the test till next week since we have other stuff to do. And I guess we just wanted to get it out of the way. We waited for another hour, there was still no test! 8pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm~there was STILL NO TEST! It was getting to late, so we cursed the Chemistry department and we packed up and headed down to Melbourne Central to catch the train home.

We thought we were going to miss the train that we were intending to catch, But when we got to MC train station, we were like 'phew... we still have 5 minutes to spare before the Werribee train arrives. LUCKY!' Seeing it's Connex, and the fact I was having a disastrous day, what do you think happen?

It was not a delayed train, nor a canceled train. I could of dealt with either situations. It was neither. It was.. "Attention Passengers. The Werribee, Sydeham, Cragieburn and Upfield trains on platform 3 will not run until further notice. This is due to an incident at Parliament Station. Please make your way to Flinder's Street Station for direct service at North Melbourne via Swaston's Street." I was like... great~ so much for trying to get home a bit earlier so I can sleep and wake up on time for work the next morning. So my mate and I traveled down to Flinder's Street, waited for a while and finally got on a train back home! Got home fairly late. Around 10:30pm. It was a long drastic day. Woke up at 5am, and didn't really sleep until 1am-ish. (my fault. was msn-ing when I got home) I checked whether the Chem test was online when I got home, and it WAS! Bloody hell.

I was supposed to get up at 6:30am for a 7am start at work. But I was so tired after being awake for more than 20 hrs straight, I slept in... lol. I was late to work! But luckily the managers weren't in that early and the guy I work with in the morning is pretty easy going. So I didn't get into trouble. Well, I hardly get into trouble at Coles anyway. But it was so much work in the morning today. Instead of my usual schedule of spending 1 hr on Value Added, 2 hrs on Quality Checks and 1 hr of facing and then lunch, I had too fill for 4 hrs. grr! I was so tired by the time lunch came about. I was to tired for the arvo shift, I started pointing and telling the little ones what to do, because I didn't want to do it myself.

What a Coincidental Catastrophic 48 hours huh? I hope I never have to go through something like that ever again.

msn chats

2009-09-03T19:30:00.001+10:00

For the past few days, I had some great chats on msn. Just typing away till late at night. I used to be really into msn, but this year it just died down a bit. But I really saw why I was really into it. It brings back a hell lot of memories.

Its one of those chats where the person on the other end responds straight away, and not like after a few minutes. And all the attention focuses on that one person. I notice if you chat to a few people at the same time, you'll never get anything out of the conversation you know? And also long msn chats doesn't happen that frequently.

But I think I gotta cut down a bit on msn now, cos its pretty time consuming you know? But I'll try to get back into it when I have more free time.

two posts today

2009-08-30T21:11:00.001+10:00

i dunno, but today I feel like posting two times. sorry~

but on the topic of "usefulness..." have you ever been used by a friend, but then you weren't really treated as a friend at all by that person? Like, someone who you think is your friend and this friend tells you to do things only benefiting him/herself but it has no good for you?

I would hate to have friends like that, let alone 'a' friend. Who would want friends like that? Prob unless you have no friends? lol? I once had a friend like that. i treated this person as a good friend, and I always thought this person was my friend. but how was I treated lah?... i'll stop it right there. Getting a bit personal now~

I'm getting to too much of my feminine side as lina would put it. lol.

are you useful?

2009-08-30T21:03:00.000+10:00

my new fresh produce manager complimented me today. ive worked with him for a few weekends now. and today he told me that he's actually glad to have me on board with him. And he said that he finds me useful! woohoo...

So what does this mean? It means that if the store manager want to cut casual worker's hours down I'll have my produce manager protecting my hours. Well, I wouldn't blame the store manager for wanting to cut down my hours since I cost twice as much as a 16 year old working. But then again, I do a much better job then what an average teenager can do.

'me' time

2009-08-25T10:57:00.001+10:00

I need 'me' time sometimes. Weekends are hectic. don't get rests. Waking up at 6:30am for work on weekends are a killer after waking up the same time the previous day for uni and having to wake up that early on Monday as well.

The only day I get 'me' time is Tuesdays and Thursdays. On those days I like to do nothing. Just sit in front of the computer, surfing the web, procrastinating and thinking about how cool it is that I don't have to go to uni.

But the week passes by really quickly, and then its the weekend again. *sigh*

Then the cycle begins all over again...

pureprofile - global study

2009-08-20T12:42:00.001+10:00

lol... guess what, remember I said that I was doing this survey on pureprofile and it was taking ages? I think someone complained to pureprofile and guess what?

They sent me an apology email saying how it was the first time they ran such a long survey. And they are paying me and extra $7 bucks for compensation. LOL. they are paying me $25 altogether for a survey which i didn't really do it properly. Well, i tried, but I lost concentration and it was wasting too much of my time and effort. but if they are paying me an extra 7 bucks, I'll take it. :)

Pureprofile has been really good to me. I just did another survey for $12 and it wansn't long to do! This time, I actually did it properly (for most of the time).

Dr. Dalton James Eric Harvie

2009-08-17T22:52:00.001+10:00

I dunno what is so special about Dr. Dalton James Eric Harvie. Yes he is smart, yes he is young and yes he has a cool name (Dalton). He also teaches one of the ugliest 2nd year subjects in chemical engineering.

I have this friend who treats him like an idol, admires him and is a total fan of Dr. Harvey. The moment Dr. Harvey comes in, this friend of mine gets all keyed up and her eyesight follows his movement down to the front of the lecture theater. My friend always chooses to sit right at the front. Who knows why she would do that?

I hope my friend won't fail this subject. I have a feeling though, she pays more attention to Dr. Harvey than the material that she's supposed to be absorbing. But then again, I don't think she minds because if she repeats the subject, she'll see Dr. Harvey for another semester... again!

up, up and away!

2009-08-14T17:34:00.000+10:00

I'm going to Singapore, Hong Kong and quite possibly to Japan during late Jan to mid Feb of '10. Stuff summer school! whoo, should be good since I haven't been overseas in ages! Gonna have a massive shopping spree, buy what ever I see its nice and not worrying about the price. Cos I do have quite a bit saved up for random spending!

I'm doing an $18 survey on pureprofile. whoo! I hope I can finish it. But atm, I'm just randomly selecting the boxes cos its taking too much time and effort! and waiting for 5 mintues on each page before i move on so it wouldn't be so suss that I'm not doing it properly.

toodles~

jackson's the name!

2009-08-11T11:07:00.000+10:00

how should i start?

maybe I'll start of by saying "Hi!" There's nothing much to say. Just at home atm, on my day off from uni. Procrastinating as usual. Started on this blog and about to go and watch some kelly clarkson clips. You know, I downloaded a 500mb size clip which only lasts for 3 minutes and 42 seconds. Whoo, Kelly Clarkson looks so hot even though she has gained a bit of weight. But then again, in my opinion, any Kelly Clarkson clips are great!

bye.
