Week 11 is coming!!!

Wow.. Time flies. It is now week 11 out of the 12 weeks the university is practicing now. In a few more days, I will be in Sydney for a total of 3 months. 3 months passed, and I do achieve something. Try a lot of new things, but want to try lots more.. Haha..

After next 2 weeks, exam will start. As always, exam = study. The only thing I hope for extra this time is that I will be able to study and play at the same time, but don't get a disappointed result in the end. LOL. Is this possible?

Ok. This post is a bit short and empty. Haha. Let's wait for a better topic next time. Cheers.

New Day... New Haircut...

Today is a brand new day... For the first time, I go for my 'own' haircut, as this is the first time I have my own say on what I want to cut. This is the intermediate stage before I finally get the style I want for a long time already. LOL. Nothing much to say for this post, just some photos.

Have a great week ahead, everyone!!!

An Exciting Day!!!, Part 2

Hehe.. Today, I start my day as normal, never expecting anything special. Physics lab, my first lesson. Don't know why, my passion towards Physics diminished day after day. LOL. Today, my usual lab partner came late, suddenly, someone approached me and wishes to join me for this lab session. I agree, of course. Although this may seems nothing to other people, but this is actually the very first time I work through something with a local Australian. An opportunity I have waited so long. We work through the exercise together, although we didn't get full marks in the end, but I do enjoy the time when we do the lab together. *My Manglish suddenly disappear when I talk with him, something I hope I can do all the time, LOL.* That experience further convince me that Australians are friendly, but I just have to take the first step in order to start a friendship.

The term "no worries" is a very common term for Australian. Instead of saying "you're welcome", or "it's ok", or "no problem", the Australian uses that term. Finally, today, I manage to say the words spontaneously without hesitation. Really can't wait to learn more Aussie slang!

Time passes by, time for my MAPLE (Mathematics in Computer) Test. Wow, not bad at all. Happy.. Then, time for a little drink using the voucher I got. This is my first time to really drink a glass of beer. Half way through, my face already turn red (indicating my alcohol tolerance is quite low, LOL). Then, once reach back, I get a sweet nap. Oh ya, before this, I get a chance to play snooker for the first time, wow, not easy at all, albeit it seems easy from the television.


The day continues, as it right now, I am still in happy mood, all the jobs for the week has been settled. Enjoying..

Cheers!

An Exciting Day!!!, Part 1

Today is a very exciting day for me. I never feel so happy before. Several things happen. First thing first, today is my first real experience with local Australian after so many days in Sydney. As I have said before, my position here in Sydney since my arrival does not really encourage myself to mix with the locals. I stayed in Malaysia Hall, of course will mix with Malaysian. Then, in university, due to some kind of special arrangement by the computer (which I don't know why), I end up with a big group of Malaysian in my Engineering Design Group.

Wow, a long story I can write about this Engineering group. But, simply put, I do wish initially that I will be assigned to a group of strangers, so I can get the courage to make more new friends, rather than a group of familiar face. However, throughout the process, I become comfortable that I don't have to struggle through the make new friends’process. (A bad sign for me, cause I will lose the motivation soon.) Anyway, things turn out to be fine until now, though I won't know what will happen if I get a group of locals.

Then, we have this computing project, which again I team up with Malaysian again. LOL. This is view as the best option, as again, I am too comfortable in my comfort zone to even move my legs. So, again, I let go the chance to mix with other people.

The story continues, everyday, I restart my life, then end my life without much different.

Till today...

亲爱的安德烈

我不知道为什么,但我对关于亲情的书特别的感兴趣。其中,我最爱的一本书就是,《亲爱的安德烈》。我当然与书中的主角,安德烈,拥有不同的家庭背景。我没有一位属于政治任务级的妈妈,我的妈妈是属于天天陪着我成长的那一类母亲。我自燃是感到非常的幸福,其实也没再要求什么了。但,人就是不断的追求更好的生活,所以永不满足于现状。我也不例外。我常常也希望我可以与双亲过着朋友似的生活,我厌倦了权威式的教育,我希望能像书里的母子,快乐的与双亲相处。但,那一天会到来吗?

请欣赏以下的短片,关于这本书的介绍。
