20th Birthday

Finally, I can no longer say I am the 1*-years-old. I crossed the boundary into 2* years now. Coincidentally, today also my final paper for this semester. This double joys come at the perfect time.

Two days before, my friends have a small party for "November Babies". 4 of us actually. Haha.. It is fun and good to see lots of friends. My ex-roommate in Malaysia Hall shares the same birthday as me. Only he is exactly two years older than me.. :-p Thanks to all my friends who attended the party.

Here are some photos for that day:

Nice food... Yummy..

The four birthday boys and girls...

Of course, I also have a very nice day today. My best friends here, Jason (not me) and Leon brought me out for a nice Japanese dinner and follow by a long walk around the city. We wonder around the city, and so nice we get to meet the actors of High School Musical. There are so many people waiting there. After the dinner, we walk to the Harbour Bridge. This is indeed a very nice experience for me as I never set foot on the Harbour Bridge before. What a view of Sydney from there. Haha. Thank you Jason and Leon for the wonderful day.

That's it for this time. My trip to Gold Coast will start very soon. Will update more after I complete the trips. Stay tuned and Happy Holiday to those who will enjoy it. See ya!

珠光宝气

又开始追另一部香港连续剧了,这次更厉害,82集。超长的!非常不错的一出连续剧,值得推荐。

主题曲:钻禧 - 关淑怡

作曲:赵增熹 作词:林夕
花枝挤天地 凭名气 凭灵气 凭傻气 凭什麽 可采探自己
招展惹妒忌 谁狂喜 谁随喜 谁扬起 一身珠光宝气
风眼下耀眼的对象 没有心眼又怎鉴定 心底的精确卖相
经过金粉擦亮 谁又坚贞得跟钻石较量

谁曾在 华丽国浮荡流尽冷汗
顿觉可以被拥抱着
看星光 更风光 谁曾盛放
为了可以被看 却不鉴辨婚戒便疯狂
多少卡宝藏 是要将爱念永久珍藏
多少卡感动的钻禧 都矜贵耐看
多姿的演技 纯如钻 强如钢 求完美 无暇得
可收买自己 多彩里竞技 随时机 随玄机 随年纪
找真假的福气 风眼下耀眼的对象
没有心眼又怎鉴定 心底的精确卖相
经过金粉擦亮 谁又坚贞得跟钻石较量

谁曾在 华丽国浮荡流尽冷汗 顿觉可以被拥抱着
看星光 更风光 谁曾盛放
为了可以被看 却不鉴辨婚戒便疯狂
多少卡宝藏 是要将爱念永久珍藏
多少卡感动的钻禧 都矜贵耐看

慢慢追吧!!!

Year 1

Today is the final day for semester 2, which is also the final day of my first year in university. Rather than happy, as holiday is not far away, I spent my afternoon shopping for groceries for the next 2 weeks, where exam is gonna be held and in the end, spark a mixture of different feelings.

While on the bus, I thought of a lot of things. Now, first year is over, what had I achieved? I really hope I had learn some new skills that I do not know before. Yes, in a way I did. How about other things, like social skills? Have I become more sociable? For the past 8 months, I spent a lot of time in my room, rather than go out and have fun or play with friends. Why? Maybe my network is too small, now I can only put my hope in second year to make a change.

Well, people say first year is like a transition from high school to university life. There are lots of uncertainty out there, so we must be brave in facing these changes. Also, first year is the easiest year in university, therefore, one must make good use of the time in first year to try out different new things, especially for people like me, who come to a foreign country to study. Have I achieve that? Partially, maybe.

Of course, the next thing is time to say goodbye to friends. This feeling is different, last time, we can easily meet our friends as we all live in the same country, same city, even same residential area. This time around, my friends are from all over the world. During holiday, we won't be able to see each other for quite a long time. This then of course, will be a change too, as now I can go back and meet my old friends. :-)

Ok. Don't want to write too long. About time to cook dinner. Wish me luck in the exam. See ya!

Updates....

Hello everyone..

It's been a long time since I last update my blog. Not because I have nothing to write, but LAZY. Sometimes I have the urge to write it down, but in the end I just watch series instead. Haha...

Anyway, lately I had been greatly exposed to world of television dramas. From Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and of course USA. There are just lots of things out there waiting for me to go explore. *series*. Lol.. Ok, enough of those.

My main point is after 7 months in Australia, have I change? Am I a better person now? Can I face the future in a better way now? Well, honestly, I don't know. Lately, I found myself in a position where I appreciate friends at an unprecedented level. Never in my life I have the feelings that friends are that important. They are there for you to complain, share happiness and strive through university life together. I count myself lucky to get 2 good friends. Haha.. And this sounds a bit deja vu to me, as from small, my good friends will always make up to 2 person. Then, 三人行,必有我师也。Haha, joking only. But then, I guess this happens because I have been away from family too long. I miss them home. This is life, I guess. I wanted to be independent so much before this, so I must live with it.

Ok, about university life. This semester is indeed not easy. Lots of new stuffs and assignments. The honeymoon is over, what I have learned before this during pre-U is no longer here. Now, I need to start everything from scratch. Hopefully I can make it. Life just get harder next year. I must prepare myself to be a successful engineer.

Maybe I am too lucky all along. I don't know what is failure. This makes me scared of failure. I am afraid of failure, I scare I cannot stand up again if I fall. This sometimes create huge mental pressure on me, as I need to make sure my actions are correct and will not result me in failure. How? I don't think this is the way I should face reality. I must train myself to be able to accept failure and start all over again from failure. Slowly, revolution takes time. Haha.

Now what? Oh ya.. I have see many people during this few months. As normal, my favourites is to observe people. I love to be an observant. See their actions, listen to their talks, observe their behaviour, and then make preliminary judgement on that person. There are so many people out there, all with different kind of characteristic. Each different person require a different technique to deal with them. I am not sure, but I am trying to learn to communicate with people. Communication between people is not just talking and chatting, it is much more than that. How do you deal with their behaviour, how to deal with their way of thinking, even the skills of talking is important. I think sometimes I am too confident with myself which is not good, not just to me, but to people around me too. I should always remind myself that I am not perfect, I have flaws just like anyone else, I must accept that I can be wrong. However, again, easier to be said than done. Slowly, take my time, one day I shall succeed.

Ok, lots of stuffs up there, not in order, randomly written down. Haha.. Just a few thought from me over this few months. Will update more soon, as exam comes close, human can be more complicated. Haha.. Till then..
