Holiday!?!?

Woah. Woke up in the morning feeling weird. Suddenly fell asleep again last night. Had been sleeping on and off. Has been looking at my report. Thinking how should I write it.

Civil really do have a lot of assignments to do. Yesterday, I called my mother for less than 10 minutes. Asked her to go online and yet she said wait till I finish my assignment.

Stress? Nah, I am not stress. Stress has never been in my dictionary. I sleep when I am tired even though I am in the middle of writing my report. That reminds me, I used to sleep for half an hour in my essay writing exams during my high school. "Sleep first then work", my motto. Suddenly thought of this because this topic came out yesterday while chatting with my friends. Miss my high school days.

HOLIDAY. It is coming. I am seriously looking forward to it. Yesterday my friend, Sui Liang, looked at me, "No more holiday house? Go look for it again.". Haha. Sad. Seem like this holiday, we will have to look for somewhere else to go to. Yet I met another friend while I pass by campus centre. Looking at my "boring" face, she suggested beach. The suggestion indeed lighten up my mood. Gold Coast came into my mind.

"Under the warm sun, wave splashing, holding a surfboard, and bikini girls walking around." Stop dreaming and back to reality. Need to go to uni earlier.

Lately...

Lately, my life has been boring. Doing assignments all the way trough. Luckily, my friend recommended a book for me to read. "The Game". Nice stuff. Had been reading that book a lot. So far, I found it awesome. I will soon talk about the book in my post.

Grampian trip. To go or not to go? Well, I have no choice currently. Have to go. Seem like there is no excitement in my life currently. Everything seem so dull. Well, at least today I will have to go find out about the Snow Sport club. That seems exciting.

Tonight will have to call my mother. Haven't been calling then since a week ago.

Life of an engineering student. Is it because we do not have cars here? Is it we are lazy to go out? Or there is nothing much in Melbourne itself? Screw all that. Australia is full of exciting things to do. Money and holiday is what I need.

A Glass of Almond Tea

Early morning at 6.48 am, I am enjoying a glass of almond tea. So far, I did a bit of study on groundwater. This mean, I woke up too early. It is not that bad. Downloading a movie, "The Time Traveller's Wife". For those who had watched the movie, "The Notebook", will know bout this movie as well. I had heard about the movie for quite sometimes. It has been regarded as one of the best love story ever.

Seriously, what am I doing so early. Just can't sleep. Tomorrow still have an engineering expo that I will have to attend. A lot of people will be going. Since tomorrow is the day for management class. I think I will just read up tomorrow lectures and skip it. There will be a lot of engineers at the expo. It will be a great time to learn and see ho things go in the world of engineers.

Can't imagine that I finally settled down on a definite course. Now that I am in third year, I can't change course any more. Few yews back, I used to be a mindless teenage having lots of fun in my college and wasted a year trying to decide on what I should take. Time passes really quick. It seems like just yesterday that I made that decision to come over here to study engineering.

I like to talk about my college life because that is the time when I had encountered a lot of things. From family to friends, ups and downs, we all grew up in our own way.

Just now, while chatting with a friend, I realised that everyone around me had changed. Even those course mates had changed. Look different. Are we maturing or we are just preparing ourself in order to be able to blend into the society in the future. One thing that surprised me is that a lot of engineering students had changed the way of them presenting themselves. COOL! Yesterday morning, I read a book PARANOIA. In the book, there is one thing that I agree with, it is not about what we have, it is about how we sell ourself.

How should we sell ourself depends on us. Beside being ourself, we will also need to consider about what the society wants. It is like marketing. Now, we just have to market ourself. Every successful people know who they are and they market themselves appropriately. Self confidence, look good, smile, be comfortable might be some of the basics. After the basics, it leads to some add-ons which define yourself and make you different from the others.

The sun is rising. It is time for me to get ready. I should take my time this morning. I still have plenty of time.

Updates

Here, I am stuck. Right in front of my computer. Tidying all the files in my laptop took me nearly a day. Well, it includes interval breaks and procrastinations. All my files had been in a mess after my final exams last semester. My photos, music, video, and etc.

When I look at my photos, I realized that I still have a lot of photos from my Summer holiday which I haven't view. Seem like, I miss my Summer holiday. The backpacking holiday had been exciting. No worries. Working, visiting, and meet new people. Everyday, non-stop of new experiences waiting for us. From Swan Hill to Tasmania. I believe that it is still continuing even though I am having classes. Soon, might be Uluru, Gold Coast, perhaps New Zealand or Adelaide. I don't know. I might end up in Taiwan.

A cup of coffee and a piece of dark chocolate. Feeling a bit relax. No more thinking for a moment.

The window 7 has been giving me a lot of trouble. Getting it free from the university is troublesome. The downloads aren't complete. Seem like I will have to go to university and deal with it again. Buying it from the market will be a lot more easier but it is too expensive. 400+ AUD??? I will try to get it free.

Nothing much lately. Plan to get a book. Titled "The Game". Well, I want to get it in hard cover. The only way I can get it will be from the net.

Later, read up some management. Do some Japanese language revision. Seem like life is back to normal and boring. Not really boring. There is someone that always cheer me up everyday. Every morning, receive a SMS at around 11.45am. That really makes my day.

Sunday Morning

Woke up early in the morning. Got ready. Had milk and watermelon as breakfast. Received a call from a friend, "meeting canceled". Watched two episodes of a Hong Long Series. Tidy up my notes and clothes. Look at the wine that I bought yesterday. Thinking bout the color of the lens that I should get for my sunglasses. Thinking bout the part tie job I should get this year as well. Seem like there a lot of of things that I actually need time to go trough them. "NO MORE SERIES TONIGHT".

Third is a tough year for a lot of students. Especially for people like me. Getting a job, study, and do my travelling. It will be a busy year. Skydiving, scuba diving, mountain climbing, and what else? Occasionally meet up my Taiwan friends that are travelling around Australia. Learning up my Japanese language. Take up Bar Tending course. =.= Buck up. Get my lazy body away from the bed.

All these, and not to forget my family including my girlfriend. Have to keep in touch with them. Girlfriend coming during August. Waiting for her arrival.

What else do I have to do? Go to office work. Have a look at the laser printer. Look for a few more stuff. Later on, get ready for tomorrow classes. Hand in another 2 to 3 assignment before the Easter break. Might even have one or two presentation.

And not to forget. Su-Lyn is coming soon. ^^

Future Career

Two more weeks and Su-Lyn will be coming over to Melbourne to pay us a visit. Exciting? YEA! Suddenly, memories from college flashes in my head. Those times were some of the best time in my life. Running around Kuala Lumpur, Hang Out in Sunway and etc.


These few tables used to belong to our gang back in Sunway. The place where we gathered faithfully everyday.

Come to think of it, our gang used to be a very big gang. Besides hanging out together, we also accomplish a few projects.


My favorite project at that year.

Now, they are all beautiful memories in our heart.


White Day.. See you soon Su-Lyn... WAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry that I didn't drop by at Johor while I was in Malaysia. Anyway, your internship is really cool. Working in Ernst and Young. Lucky Girl..

Melbourne

I am back to this city where I am pursuing my studies. Lucky me that the weather is getting colder. A lot had happen ever since I came back. Trip to Tasmania, forming group for assignments, meeting up with my coursemates, friends from Taiwan, planning trips for upcoming holiday and etc.

Today presentation hasn't gone very well. Kaho looked and me and teased "fence". Yea, I admit. I got a bit nervous when the lecturer start shooting weird questions to my team mates. Luckily, HK and I still manage to think of something.

What am I doing here? Stranded in one of the bagpackers hostel instead of home. Staying awake instead of falling asleep. I did a bit of study for later meetings. View blogs. Browse my facebook. Lastly, update my blog now.


suddenly, I feel that I am facing a very big challenge right now. Still thinking how to deal with it. Seems like it is not as easy as I think.

Random post from a tiring mind of mine. ^^
