True Love's Kiss

Huahaha... the title has nothing to do with what I am writing... I put that because of the Enchanted songs were played when I went to Icekimo after RCIY on Friday. Although the shop was obscured from the public view (the building where the shop is was under some construction work and hence the building was enclosed in black cloths everywhere), I was surprised that it was still open and people still come. It was good. Lol... They have really unique flavour. Well, I am in diet mode (and because I was treated, I decided not to be shameless and did not order so many) so that night I just had brownie and banana coffee crunch ice cream as topping. The ice cream tasted good :D

I went to Orchard after visiting dentist on Friday. Holy cow! There are so many things I want to buy. On top of the list is the new artbook of Kingdom Hearts. It costs $50. I have to wait for 20% discount (but I don't know when) because that means a $10 savings. Gosh... I also want Prince of Tennis 10.5 20.5 40.5. They are running out of stock T_T Haiz... I am in dillema whether I should wait in hope that the US publisher will translate or to buy. Even if I am buying, I don't know whether I should get the Chinese or the Japanese version. The Jap version is more original but I cannot read. The chinese version, hopefully I can read after I do 4 chinese modules. Lol...

Hmm.... so far I only managed to complete my gek readings. Project is still a LOOOONG way to to -_-! Code Geass is only episode 1. Chinese and LSM revision is still ??? Haiz... Moody moody...

My RCIY coordinators saw the wrong dates. Today should be the Rite of the First Scrutiny. So yeah... I missed that... I cannot wait till easter. Lol... I am surprised that for years I am fine with going church without getting communion. But nowadays, I am very agitated not to take... Faster come here 22nd of March!

Low

I am physically, mentally, psychologically, and spiritually tired. I don't know whether it is because something is wrong with my body, or it is just that the current school life is taking its toll on me.

Today phsyio was just a total disaster. It was completely different with what I was expecting so of course I did very badly. I was preparing more of the clinical case (like last semester final paper) and not to be tested with nitty gritty details about all the little footnotes in the notes. Gosh... It was horrible... I could only do about 9 questions... The rest was pretty unsure as for each question, there were at least 2 of seemingly correct options. It was more disappointing to find out that I got some mistakes with questions which were just regurgitation from notes... Oh well...I am already prepared to fail but it is still heartbreaking. I did not put my best effort in mugging but still I put a huge effort (otherwise, I would not even be worried about the paper a few days before). Sigh...

Luckily Chinese quiz went pretty well. Yeah lucky that I did not forget anything (I hope I did not forget anything) but I still ave to prepare for speech for next time. This is gross. Very few words learnt and the topic is like: shopping. What the heck...

I am pretty sure that I am having more than enough sleep. However, I still feel very lethargic. It is worst when it comes to chinese lessons. The moment I step into the room, the drowsiness quickly sweeps over me. Haiz...

My eyes have problems my eyes have problems... My prayers are unanswered. I am already quite sick of praying... Hello.... Am I being listened?

Mid semester break is coming but I don't know whether I will enjoy it. There is a project to do, I must read the Chinese readings which are piling up, there are still 4 sets of gek readings to be read, and I plan to at least read LSM notes. I think go for the paper totally unprepared is a suicide because I would not even know where to flip. Haha...

Haiz... I am really feeling low and depressed.... Help.....

Rite of Election

Today onwards, I am no longer a catechumen but am an elect already. Yeah... Next sunday will be a free sunday. After that 3 scrutinies for 3 consecutive sundays and finally, my agony will be over. It will be easter already. Yay yay yay!!! I can enjoy attending masses even more now. Haha... If only this whole thing is not very troublesome, I would delay my baptism to next year. Why? Because next year easter is exactly during my birthday. Haha... Then I would celebrate 2 birthdays at one day. Lol...

I will say today's experience is pretty good. It is quite funny to see so many pastors in one mass. Plus the fact that so many churches participated, I could see the banners of the different churches. It was like seeing the banner of the different houses in school. Lol...

Oh well, it is a boring post. But how? My life has been boring... I finished Endocrine and Chinese yesterday. I still have pain and GIT. I wonder how... -_-!

Love is in the Air



Wahaha... It is Valentine's Day today and 6 out of 8 people in my clique gave me stuff. Lol... Thank you. I am impressed with your effort, time, and attention to me. Very nice leh T_T I am honestly touched. Haha... Sorry for only giving "Thank You" in return because up to now, I still think that during V-Day, it is girl who gives guy presents. Haha... The guy will return during White Day and unfortunately it is not widely celebrated. Haha... Ok, I shall return you people next year and unfortunately 14 Feb will be on the weekend next year I suppose. Haha...

This morning I was so lazy to go for Physio tutorial. I should have followed my feelings. I was sleepy, and I was scared that the teacher would call my name (Well, the teacher is an Indian and my name is like the first Indian name in the list). I came late and sat the extreme back row. Then I got arrowed by the teacher -_-! Sianz... I was totally unprepared (as usual... physio mah...) and he asked me to go forward to do. Lucky he assisted me to show which slide to draw but still during the explaining part, I think it was VERY obvious that I knew nothing. Haha.. Thanks for some people who were supportive and believing to the crap I said. Haha... Well it was pretty obvious, but I guess talking using that kind of mike and podium. And thank God that the professor was very kind of encouraging, although I still cannot believe it that he said it was 'nice' and 'good job'. Lol... God saves the good boy :)

Darn, I wasted so much time in playing the Traveller IQ Challenge in Friendster. Well it was pretty fun. And surprise surprise... I am in top 25 for World Photo category. Yeah.. now everyone around the world who has that application will be able to see my cool Heero Yuy picture and my very cute Tama nick. Haha...

1 week left for my Physio CA (damn!) and chinese quiz. Plus chinese homework. I will die -_-! This is the result of slacking for so long.. My own fault and consequence.

Tomorrow I want to donate blood. Hopefully no problem with me and I don't faint. Haha...

Happy Valentine's Day =) There is a stall near Central Library which is selling very very nice Disney's Snow Globe. I wonder how much they cost. They are so huge. I want to buy but in the end I don't know how I will be able to bring them home as they are huge. I love it. I shall try to ask the price tomorrow. Haiz... Especially the Alladin and Jasmine... But I suppose I will buy the Mickey and Minnie in the end.

CNY

Now I finally understand why newspaper articles always mention about the danger of gaining weight during Chinese New Year.

Yeah, this year is my first time to go to a reunion dinner. I went to my aunt's place on the Chinese New Year eve. Her nieces came late so in the mean time, I ate all the cookies, love letters, and peanuts (think about the pimples later). It was a steamboat dinner. I never liked steamboat so I did not expect to get full. But I got full, very very full. It had to be the wantons. That was the only thing I like and I ate. But I guess I was nauseated by the fish lah. It was force fed to me. I was quite drunk also. It was not my first time drinking red wine. I drank it too hastily (2 sips for half of a small glass but the size is difficult to say yes?) and my cheeks were red. Lol. My head was quite heavy and it felt like headache.

I had no visiting for the actual 2 days of CNY. Haha... I rushed through the very sucky Gundam Seed Destiny. What a waste of my time -_-! It screws up the already nice Gundam Seed. But overall, Gundam Wing is a more satisfying series. At least the ending was clear, no more gundams which means peace. I like that better than GSD ending: they all remain in the military. Haiz...


This picture is nice (rare!) but I don't know what the hell the lucky strike at the bottom left is doing -_-

Yesterday I visited 2 friends. At noon, it was pizza meal (though I only ate 2 pieces) and a bit of my friend's mum homecooked dishes. I would love to eat more of the char siew but my throat was quite sore due to a lot of talking and bakwa (I only ate 3 pieces leh -_-). In the afternoon, it was another bakwa and peanuts. Haha... I dare not to weigh myself today. Lol.

Anyway, CNY is over. And now all the stress will begin. I have chinese quiz coming out either next week or next next week. I don't know when because there is a discrepancy between the lecture plan and ivle. I don't know. Whenever it is, I am screwed because it is very close to Physio CA. WAT THE HECK!!!! Code Geass must be suspended until mid-sem break. 25 episodes only so it should be done in 2 days. Haha...

I almost forget about mentioning the angpaus. Hehe... An interesting observation that I have made is that Singaporeans always give free angpaus. In all the angpaus I got, the packs were from POSB, Baleno, Citibank, SIA, Maybank, Fairprice, IBM, etc. Yeah banks are the most. Lol. It is very diffent from Indonesia where we will chiong to buy the nice nice angpaus... which I suppose will be dominated by Mickey and Minnie. Haha... The younger generations will look for nice pictures while the older people will find the nice writings (though I don't bother because I don't understand anyway). In total, I get $84 this year. Haha... It is exclusive what I got home. Lol... I shall treat myself with either an anime book or a set of anime figurines. If there is any nice one, of course. Hehe...

Just had the Rite of Sending this morning. A compendium was given. Haiz... In the midst of so much thing to read/study for school, I have additional interesting to read. I don't know how :(


Huaah... I shall sleep now. It was tiring to wake up early for 2 consecutive days after 2 consecutive nights of sleeping late. Valentine's Day and Blood Donation are coming next week =)

Happy Chinese New Year 2008!




HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2008
MAY THE RAT YEAR BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS, GOOD HEALTH, WEALTH, and SUCCESS!

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

It was another cold night yesterday. I turned off my fan and I still slept soundly until 9am. I went out only at 12 but the weather was still quite cool for me to on the fan. Damn good weather :) Unfortunately it is no longer the case tonight. Haha...

It was a combined clique outing today. I was quite disappointed and dissatisfied with the sushi because there was no ice-cream puff T_T. I don't know what happened to me also but I got full quite early today. So yah... haiz... maybe I am bored with the meal already (which is unlikely as I have not had any sushi buffet since November) but I really don't know.

We played billiard next.. Haha.. I think everyone is of similar standard as the games went quite slowly. I don't think I can play. Haha... It is a luck game for me. If you are lucky, you don't have the skill also you still can get the balls in (if your previous opponent makes fouls :P). I was very lucky at the beginning as I sank 3 balls in one turn. Everyone was like thinking that I lied when I said I had very little experience. Yeah... the luck continues on as I hit the black ball in as well. Lol. The first two games ended because the black ball went in at the wrong time. Lol. It was fun anyway ($2.70 for 2hrs... I have no complaint... haha...) and reminds me of this Prince of Tennis episode. I am still wondering how to make such shots possible. Haha... I am a gentle person, I always hit very gently. Actually the reason is that when I played the billiard game in handphone, the ball always fail to go in. So yeah... Haha... The only thing I learnt from this episode is that it is wrong to put both legs in the air. Lol.





There is another lame episode (which is nicer than this one and I don't get bored to watch) which is Bowling no Oujisama. Let's play bowling next time, minna-san! It will be my virgin experience. Haha..

Talking about Prince of Tennis, I was thinking to heck care and get the 10.5, 20.5, and 40.5 although I understand no single word in it. But upon seeing each costs about $18, I shall think again and faithfully hope and pray that there will be English translation.

Haiz, my eyes are getting heavy. I shall go sleep. I don't know how my ironing lah. Sadness...

Monday, February 4, 2008

I have been trying to sleep a lot lately but I still feel lethargic. I think I just have no drive to live. Lack of sleep makes me tired and long hours of sleep makes me lethargic. Haiz... If there was one night the problem was with the new pillow, yesterday problem was with the cold. Although I prefer cold weather to hot, I woke up a few times because of the frost. I wonder how I am going to survive in Sydney's winter.

Today was the first time I did preparation for dispensing practical. It would be my last time too. It was pretty useless because the teacher was smart enough to make some changes so that all the methods, quantities, and calculations were different. Well, I guess there is no choice but to be honest.

I just watched Sweeney Todd. Uuh... a pretty bloody gross movie. As I had donated blood before, I know how real blood looks like and the one in the movie is PAINT! Still...after watching it, it left me with some kind of sick/disgusted feeling. Maybe bloody movie is just not my genre. And it was not as what I expected. I expected there would be slicing/chopping of bodies. I only got throat slitting. And I was quite sickened enough. I guess my imagination is sicker that what my eyes can tolerate. Hahaha... I was quite clueless about the half of the movie. I could not really catch all the words of the singing, and I could not understand the chinese subtitle. Yeah, the 60 words of chinese that I learnt so far are not much of help. The new words I could recognise were mei, kan, hen, and you. Those are all. It still could not help me to figure out the things. Hahaha... And this just reminds me that I had a stack of Chinese homework to do. I did 4 pages and still have 2 more to go. Haiz...

I am tired so I guess I shall continue tomorrow. Good nitez...
