2010 I am counting on you..

I love how my house looks like during christmas.. =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. what?? I am 8 days late? typical.. one new year resolution down the drain.. speaking of new year resolution, 2009 new year resolution to donate blood, was -impossible.. I had to at least be 50kg.. I tried to eat my heart out, but I guess due to the fact that I stay 10 minutes away frm Curtin.. and have to walk almost everyday.. makes it difficult for me to hold the extra kilos.. ok.. the Holiday was great for me.I spend alot of time with the family. If there is one thing I like about hoildays its the family gathering and FOOD!!!! haha.. will update soon!

Advise of the day: Set your Priority right in the begining of the year.. and remember to stay with it!

Life of a Student----> Living abroad =D

The 5 major aspect in a student life includes Studies, Lect/Teachers, Funding, Food supplies, and Social Life.

Studies

A Students, is someone undergoing educational training.. (Duh..). Studies play an important role in a student's life. It is basically the reason why they are where they are in the first place (woah, try saying that fast). In this educatinal journey, getting the good grades is a priority (at least that is what all of us wants to believe) in a students life. It is something that can make or break you. Its very effect on a student can lead to from having a good day into a terrible day or vice versa. The grading system is more of a puzzle in a student life, its like playing a card game, a little % gain here, another % loss.. which will in the end ditermine the ultimate game known as FINALS (come to think of it.. naming it FINALS.. is abit mean)

Lect/ Teachers

Some call them mentors, these are people who said to be the one teaching/mentoring and lecturing the 'Students'. Play your cards right and these Teachers could be the one that helps make your life a lot easier. These lecture are usually categorize into 3 categories, the Lasser-fair, Participative and Authoritative.

Lasser-fair teachers usually lets you do things anyway you want.They sometime make you feel like that little 'homework' is not that imortant and they are usually Fun to be around. But be warned, as sometimes these are the lecturers who ends up marking you down for being too relax in class.

Participative Teachers, are the type that wants to be part of your life, they are always there if you need help and push you to do your best. The only down side of having these kind of lecturer is in the of the day, if you did bad for an assignment, it is usually YOU! who feels like you let them down.

Authoritative Teachers.. the name says it all. They are the strict makers, they dont believe in excuses and they seem like they are out to get you. (ermm... no comment for these kind of Teachers.. just do your homework and hand in assignments to survive).

Funding

If you are a student living abroad.. then this is a no joke aspect, No money= 0.. as in Zero nothing..! there is no word to describe it.. =)

Food Supplies

Every person I know, who is studying abroad, would agree with me on this.. INDO MEE. yes, if you are a student studying abroad, then you probably would have a stack of instant noodles in your pantry incase of any 'EMERGENCY'. Speaking of food, I should point out that, as a student living far away from home you would apprieciate the smaller things in life, LITERALLY, there is just no way for you to buy food just enough for one person, everything seems to be in family pack! Dont talk about bread, to buy one loaf, who would have to plan out how to gulf the whole loaf in a week, which in the end would lead to Toast for breakfast, Sandwhich for Lunch... and????? for Dinner???--- thus with this 'sharing is helping'...

Social Life

Usually starts from Friday evening untill sunday evening.. Going out with friends, hanging out.. plain old enjoying your free time.. during the weekends.. As for me a fellow student living abroad I have to admit, I am lacking in this area of expertise.. WHY??.. well friday nights for me is spend doing homework.. which brought me back to the statement that I made in Lit Class due to handing out an assignment early.. (Farah remember this) 'I have nothing better to do so I just do my homework'---> in plain english.. I have no social life.. (Ms Anne calls says it a blessing, that I have no Distraction) Its to the point where I have to schedule my time to do one homework or assignment at different time ONLY because I dont want to be bored from doing nothing.. =D haha.. like I said LACK of expertise.. so social life is still in the works.. however be assured I do have great friends here.. we just eat lunch alot.. haha..

Its all in the mind..

I promised a post about open mindedness.. I only have one thing to point out being open minded is a two way thing.. Think about it.. if you accept one thing you should accept the other..

*Ok, that probably was not how I plan to blog about open mindedness..but hey.. I have another good story to tell.. Today was just like any other ordinary day.. except that.. I accidently locked myslef out of my room,so I had to call the tenants to come open it up, AND pay $50.. yup.. all for making her leave the office at lunch hour.. OOO...what to do, and the 'smartest' ( I use the term very loosely) thing out of this is MY SAPRE KEY WAS IN THE ROOM ----therefore SPARE KEY=EPIC FAIL (at least in my world).... So please everyone.. base on my experience.. remember to make an emergency spare.. and put it somewhere else..

Anyway that was not the most interesting that happen, after getting everything sorted out, I had to go for Statistic class.. and guess what, when I finally reached class I noticed I had forgotten my lecture notes and HOMEWORK!!! thanks to the Ang moh (sorry cant remember his name) who ask me what last week lecture was about, before class.. Good thing it was like 20 minutes before class started ( wah tacha come so early for what??.. biasa la hahaha) and so I ran! I ran like Never before, back to my place to retrieve my 1% worth of homework (1%??? you say.. lets make this simple 1+1+1=makes ALOT).. but in the middle of everything.. whilst runing.. (yes whilst runing) I thought.. 'today is such a nice day'.. and start thanking God for everything..

I thank God for the weather (sunny+ windy),I thank God for legs, I thank God that I stayed 10 minutes away from CIC, I thank God for good health..and I thank God for every single cell in my body at that moment, working together, making ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy stored in cells YERRR (forgive me, I just when through a Human Biology test).. not an inch of frustration was in me and because of that I felt happy. If this was a Test from God I know today I pass.. and even if there was some kind of Satanic invervention I know I won this battle =P. So everyone.. be thankful for EVERYTHING.. you have.. =)
*Ps: I made it to class.. 5 min early somemore.. man.. I miss 'Hari Sukan' in school

Pictures tell a diferent story..

There was a news recently about how "Facebook parents" can spy on their children through the tagging system on facebook. This had me thingking, looking through my collection of photos that I have, I start to wonder what kind of person will parents think of me as friends to their sons and daughthers, it even got me thinking, will this effect my opportunity in the future to get a proper job? what will happen if someone decide to blackmail me with my photos??? all I can say is I have very good reason for the photos that I proudly post up.. here goes..

Manda and me + Chocolate mask = To promote inner beauty and show

the world that we care =)

Farah and me = Ms Anne (Lit Lect) told us this is a good way
to grow taller. We were testing her theory..

Blue Hair Tasha- Testing out Hair colour

Penstache- The facebook epidemic, where whoever was tag is

suppose to post a photo of themselve with a pen between

their nose. Manda and I took it to the next level

and lastly a picture of me with a santa hat in class=

even studying in class... (Main point: I study) =)

P.S. Sorry friends if you were expecting like really scandalous photos.. this is as scandalous as it gets.. so do you think anyone would employ me in the future? and parents would you allow your children to be friends with me?.. I have nothing to hide.. I guess.. =) Peace!
