Yeah.. again o_O

Concentrated on my mgmt course today... particularly 2725, which is Career Planning and Management...

The task doesn't seem hard, but it's still a lot to do and tedious.. and my biggest problem is that I don't know myself well enough.. as in, I'm confused with my own choices and paths that I'm treading on; so how do I explain about myself in a report, when I don't know what I want to do? O_o

Lots of work that is do-able is fine.. But lots of work that I don't have much of an idea on how to do it bites...

Assignments, Assessments and Ahhhhh!

Mgmt subjects:
2725 - Still not done.. doing the readings and understanding all these concepts while having conflict within my ownself.. it's hard; since I can't make up my mind on what I want out of life... Too much things to consider...
1101 - Ahhh, these weekly journals are a pain =/ But at least I kinda got it done, except for one bit where I just can't figure out how to access the Newsbank for an article on the business environment of India

Econ subject:
1102 - Bleh; guess I'm glad my presentation is done and submission returned with a good mark, however, mid-sessions are approaching really fast x.x

Actl subject:
2002 - I'm supposed to be good at this.. but why am I struggling so much? =/

Relay for Life:
Link
Amount collected so far (cash and online): 65 aud, still a bit off my target..

I still feel so pressured, plus I'm such in a dilemma.. Feels like I'm torn apart, and I can't make decisions or tell them, because I just care too much, and so afraid of the consequences... The future scares me so, yet I'm eager to move on... I fear it, I don't know what to do; I can't give an answer, I can't tell the future.. I can't help it... Should I take the risk and go on, or do I turn back and seek my old shelter? I don't know.. dreams vs. reality... I dream, but to what extent would dreams come true now? Do I leave things behind and pursue my dreams, or do I see the what's in front of me now? I don't know...

FFR! Whee! Running! Whee!

Janna introduced me to an online version of DDR, and initially I was terrible at it, but after a few plays, I'm starting to improve :D

I quite enjoy FFR in between work =D Checkout my profile B)

Also, I'm collecting donations for the Relay For Life, so please support me ;* I'll be running overnight.. ahhhh, i have shifts at midnight, 2 am, 4 am and more xD I'm still anticipating the event anyway, seems to be quite exciting

*goes back to doing uniwork...* x.x

Japanese Food!!!

Clockwise from top left, Irene, Yoke, me and Marcel

Japanese Food is YUMMMM! I had Unagi~ wheee! and vegetarian okonomiyaki =^_^= Most of the dishes are vegetarian, since Irene is a vegetarian, but it's still so delicious anyway :D

Irene couldn't imagine how I could eat a "snake" xD but unagi (eel) is just my favorite japanese food. xD Marcel even tried the unagi for the first time and also agreed he never expected that an unagi can taste yummy.. hehehe

Hmm.. I should start getting my work done soon...

Mid-session break, whee!

I just love to dance. I love it I love it I love it xD
I need to buy dancing shoes.. :P Latin and Ballroom Dancing in trainers just doesn't seem right xD

Anyway

I'll pass... hopefully =P yes, i will! :K

Tomorrow night, dinner with Irene and Yoke, whee! Japanese Food... YAY
明天晚上我去吃日本泛！

我要跳舞！

*bites* ;)

3 more days... :K

So Confused, and the First of April

I'm so confused about everything.. life... career... identity... relationships... everything... who am I?

Was trying to complete an assignment for my career planning and management course... and in this assignment, we had to clear all forms of distractions and start sorting out aspects of life that is our priority in a descending order... I couldn't even pick one aspect that I prioritize the most. Not only that, my mind went into a mess, I couldn't think straight. All sorts of arguments popped up in my head.

Why can't life be so much simpler?

Anyways, putting that aside, yesterday was April Fool's day, but I didn't do any tricks or such. Instead, I followed Uncle Norman and his wife and Chen Wu to Thirroul for an art/sculpture exhibition by the beach. It was amazing. For the first time, I had many pics of myself taken... but mostly on Uncle and Aunty's camera, and I'm yet to receive the photos, but here's one that was taken on my own camera:

Those ducks are one of the exhibition xD This is currently my desktop wallpaper.. =D Once I get more photos, I'll most likely put them on Still Snaps... quite a lot to add there, actually, just can't be bothered at the moment...

Oh.. and last night... I had a "nightmare". No, it's not the typical scary dream... Some ppl would understand why I call it a nightmare, but I won't elaborate more :P *kicks the nightmare anyway* xD

Also just bought a calling card today... so who shall I call...?

The Illusionist and Lindt Chocolate Cafe

So today's the 31st of March. I've made plans to meet Lachlan in town for a movie and also meet my housemates for ice chocolates at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe. It was yummy!

Ok, so met up with Lachie at 8.30 AM at Central.. as I arrived there and didn't see him around, I looked into Hungry Jack's to see if he's lining up to grab a burger, as he always does before this :P He saw me checking out the restaurant for him xD

Watched the 10.30 AM show for the Illusionist. I enjoyed it a lot, good movie!

After the movie, we went for chocolate!!! Met up with Sindy, Hui Chien and Sheera near Market St, but it took them awhile, since the variety of shops there has a greater attraction.. XD

Here's Sheera, Sindy and Hui Chien in the Lindt Chocolate Cafe. YUM!

Lachlan, being the only male and only Caucasian definite was the odd one out. But it was fun, nevertheless.. xD He learnt some Malay words =D

And also, the usually awkward question came out again. "How did you guys meet, actually?" We just looked at each other, and I just burst out laughing... I know most guys would never want to say that they actually played what Lachlan calls a "kids game"...*kicks* *stares at some people* :P

Another funny bit was when we're talking about our age.. They were shocked to learn that Lachlan is only 17 yrs old, and we're all 20 and above xD

After Lindt, Lachie and I walked around the harbour.. as we were crossing this bridge on the harbour, the bridged was closed of for awhile to supposedly make way for a ship to pass =o *but no ship was sighted* but anyhow, it was my first time seeing a bridge move.. so I kinda got excited XD

As it moves.. xD

Ok, stop laughing at me :P

We didn't do much then, but we just talked and talked, and caught up with a lot of things since we last met, since we've both been pretty occupied, me with uni and him with work.

Around five or so, as it was getting dark, went home from Central Station, this time, him seeing me off, rather than me seeing him off as he takes the train. I took the bus home. Reaching home, apparently my housemates weren't even back yet, rofl. See how girls can shop xD

On the way home, I came across this big advert on a building.

It reminded me of someone :P

Also, it was Earth Hour today... where we're encouraged to turn every light/electric off for one hour to raise awareness for Global Warning... It didn't seem like a lot of people did it, tho

Had dinner with Wei Hon, his brother (Wei Liam), his bro's gf (Aivy), his flatmate (Lawrence), and his flatmate's gf (Lily)... Damn spicy food xD

Another long day..

Sunday is rest day! xD

Slow - Quick Quick - Slow - Quick Quick

Today's latin dance class was great. Truly enjoy it, we mostly focused on salsa today, doing some half turns, which were awesome moves.. Then we did something to do with the rumba, or something, I couldn't actually recall what he said, but it was fun too... There were four guys, only three girls.. and the guys mostly couldn't get it.. lol

It was kinda tiring today, tho.. Started the day doing my Mandarin class homework... writing Chinese characters which I could only understand half.. =P Then it was class.. All the way till 12.40 PM. Went down to Kingsford to collect my ink cartridges for my printer and grabbed some lunch to eat at home.

Reached home around 1.15 PM with an empty wallet (I only brought just enough to pay for lunch (in coins xD Australian coins are damn big and heavy) and for the cartridges). Ate lunch while chatting with two of my housemates (or was it three? I can't remember). Then at 2 PM, me, Hui Chien and Sindy (all housemates) went out in the rain (with umbrellas, of course :P) to the mall for grocery shopping.

We spent about two hours there, and reached home with HEAVY HEAVY groceries, incl one 3L full cream milk and a big bottle of juice (they won't let me buy chocolate milk :P). My legs were killing me xD I only had about 10 minutes break, so I took out the stuff I needed to cook spaghetti later, then just lounged at the couch while the others unpack the groceries.. Then, I sped off to class.

Danced for an hour, I had lots of fun xD but hey, it's still tiring.. and knowing that I'm gonna cook today was like 'uh oh.. why did I take on this task on a busy day?' But oh well, I still went ahead.. and this is the first time I cooked my own spaghetti sauce since I arrived in Aussie.. that is, not pre-made sauce.. So we diced the onions and carrots and also mushrooms and tomato (ahaha yea, ONE leftover tomato) and I cooked. Tomato puree, some cheese.. mince beef... it's almost like the ones I used to cook at home with my brother and mum, altho not quite.. xD But still, it tasted good :D

And now, I'm just damn tired. And my thoughts are so occupied >.<

It's So Cold!

Well, to me it is! Kept getting teased by those ppl on the other side of the planet :P MEANIES!

Just booked my plane tickets today.. I'm going HOME for winter break... So myuu better get my *new* notebook ready by then 0:-) I can't stand this computer anymore with only 256 MB of RAM >.<

Tomorrow's my last presentation for the whole semester.. Thank goodness.. Got to try harder for my actuarial studies.

Mandarin classes are going great, often getting compliments *grin* but yet, still hesitant to speak... takut salah :P

Ballroom is going great, love it, latin dance too ^_^ I just love dancing.. *nudge nudge* 0:-)
