p/s: hopefully no mistake in any of those chinese words above. hahaha =D

Guess WHAT..

from what i know, many placess in Brunei was flooded last night.. and I believe manyyyy people was stucked outside and coouldnt get home IF they were stil out at around 10pm.. I nearly,almost cannot go home too, but I was lucky enough=p

yesterday was my first BUSY Tuesday in Uni. I'd to attend 3 lectures straight from 8am til 2pm and another 1 hour tutorial from 2-3pm then only I get to have my lunch break, for only 1 hour then I'd to go to another 1 hour lecture from 4-5pm. sighs' so U see, there goes my Tuesday and my upcoming tuesdaysss this semester.. =(

reached home around 6pm due to traffic jam everywhere because it's peak hour at that time. Actually I didnt want to go out already, because I was really very tired dy but because jeewei need company to do something, so I went out, AND it was already starting to rain.....we went bunut huaho then decided to go mall to eat something. We parked at the basement and was hoping the rain would stop when we're done, but then the rain got heavier, and heavier....

and if I was a minute late to leave the mall, I wouldnt be able to make it home JUST IN TIME before the flood got worse... the Jangsak traffic light near sunshine school one was BADLY flooded, and a few car [nice ones lagiiii.....] was stucked there with their double signal lights On and the water up til their car windows.. so freaky eyhs!!

So we were instructed by the police there to either U-turn back to gdg or up to Telanai, so we went up to Telanai hoping we can use Jln tutong to go home.. BUT who knows, the police blocked the road to kilanas as well at the Bengkurong traffic light junction.. sooooo scaryyyy and sad..... so the last resort was to go all the way til the end of Bengkurong then use the road behind to my hse...

it was like a scary adventure thing... all I know was I keep praying, hoping that there is no police blocking the road ahead and also I want to reach home asap cuz I really need to go to the toilet already.... haha..
SO thanks to Jeewei's Hyundai Matrix I got home safe and jus in time before the flood got worse at around 11-11.30pm.. jeewei was really scared that her car would 'die' going through the waterr BUT I told her I have faith in her Matrix. LOL!! and so she reached home safe too. Matrix Power!!! Hahaha..

my brother couldnt make it home last night because of the rise of water.. lol.

sighs` now Im stucked at home bcuz i couldnt use the small cars to go out as the water has not subsided yet at the Bans~

click here to see the photos of the places affected from the rain last night =)

I don't want to..

1) Write the stupid 1000 words essay which is due on Friday. Hope I pull through. I'm so lazy and other than that, I can't start. I've written my intro, but I don't feel like writing and don't know how to write the rest.

2) Have this stupid screwed-up sleeping pattern. I need to try harder to balance it back.

3) Read the stuff in the textbook before the tute.. it's so bloody thick. This summer semester is seriously compressed beyond my abiliity to handle it. 4-5 chapters a week. MAD!

4) Have so many things to do this week that I really don't feel like doing.....ARGHH. hate.

5) Be distracted by the songs that I leave playing when I read, which just shows that my brain can't multi-task. Stupid.

6) Feel so crappy.

7) Study for the tests.

8) Be distracted by the Internet when I'm supposed to be doing my schoolwork. My concentration is always interrupted by my itchy finger clicking on the blogs, Facebook pages, Youtube videos, interesting& random news. Once I was supposed to be researching for something on the net and voila! stupid finger went and pressed on some news on Yahoo homepage and then, one page leads to another, on and on until I suddenly snapped and said "Hey, what are you doing??!"

9) Be such an expert at time-wasting.

Change-over

My old and new

Ok, let's talk abt the old one. It's from the 1st generation of Ipod Nanos batch. Liked it alot.. and protected it well and then.... it starting dying. The battery life became so short. It can only last for a few hours, to me it felt like 2-3 hrs on average. Sad! But I have been using it for quite a while now, since my college year in 2006.

When the 2nd and 3rd generation came out, they didn't appeal to me. I was still very contented with my oldie 1st gen one. Almost wanted the 3rd one, but didn't quite like the grip of it. I just know I wouldn't feel very comfortable holding it coz it's quite tiny.

THEN the 4th one had to look so pretty, slim and sexy to get me attracted to it. And it has a bigger, longer screen with great display and features. And the shape is like the 1st one, nice to hold. And oh my, there's so many colours to choose from. Eventually settled for the red.. weirdly enough. Thought I'll go for the blue coz I like blue. But over the recent years, my favorite colour has been ever-changing, from blue to black, to sometimes green and red and pink..blablabla. Now I don't think I have a favorite colour anymore. I just decide on the best colour that would suit the thing I want. case by case analysis..lol

Anyway, I've been really lazy to organise the songs in the new one. Didn't bother putting in the album cover artwork for each song which would actually make the song look better when it's played, more complete. Like when some artist's song is playing, u see his/her face on the screen. BUT I AM LAZYYYY! So, instead of seeing a face, I see a default music note. sucks.

p/s: I dunno why my red Ipod nano looks like an orangy sort of red under the sun. Weird.

HK nightview

This was taken at the top of Victoria Peak.

Apparently only very rich ppl live in those apartments closeby. The tour guide was saying how usually, u'll see lots of very beautiful cars going up and down the mountain.

Due to my lousy photography skills and also a lousy camera, I show u another nicer pic, which was taken from KennySia's site.heehee. No plagiarism ok, I am giving him credit.

Here's a pic of the retarded me with the sexy pirate, Johnny Depp. lol

p/s: I dunno why I can't bring myself to read the bloody textbook. Arghh.. time's running out already. I find myself editing this post again and again. And for some weird reason, my playlist keeps playing some sad or emotional Chinese ballads. It should be good for a lazy afternoon with weather as hot as Brunei + studying. But they're like making me feel sad and lonely. Haih.. still miss Brunei :-) OK my target- Read for 2 hrs. tata!

Sky pics

Two mornings ago, I was tossing and turning, couldn't sleep. Thanks to my waking up late in the afternoon and inability to sleep later that night. So... stayed up till around 6+ am.

Had a look out of the window and saw these cute little things.

Then jumped out of bed, went to balcony and snapped snapped snapped.

Sorry for the dark pics......but you see.. the sun has not risen yet :P well, not completely.

Oh, did u know that the previous two days, the moon was as bright as ever. Beautiful.. but tonight's moon is lost..haha, it just didn't catch my attention.. so most probably not that bright today.

Yesterday's bright full moon.

Zoomed

Moon caught my attention as I was reading boring Management stuff.

sigh. really boring.

Today is one funny day. Both Lyn and I received our packages containing the ipod bought online. Same day. Same model. Same colour. lol. But her memory space is twice of mine, lucky girl. And they're ordered at different times, places and sellers.

next, my turn for my first 2009 post.. wahhaha

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I know I'm late...but whatever, haven't been blogging.

Sigh.. I just want to sigh .. alot!
Sigh, another year has gone and pass and here comes the new year..
Don't even know what I've achieved in 2008, don't think there's many.
I don't noe why this time around, the realisation that it's a new year again has hit me harder than the past few years. Maybe it's cause I turn 21 this year, gahhh, adulthood. It keeps saying "wake up, girl, WAKE UPPP! do something about ur life, something useful perhaps".

Well, my thoughts about this year:

1) Gotten my driving license. Which is a long story. Cause I actually failed the Msian bukit test for the first time and had to to go to the HEAD officer to beg for another try coz I'll be leaving to Aust in the beginning of the year. Lucky I passed the 2nd time. thank god! Ok, I know many of you have felt this already, but I do feel that being able to drive is convenient. very, in my case, indeed.

2) Uni social life become a bit more enriched 'cause I made a sudden spontaneous decision to sign up for IESS in one of their free lunches. And made new friends, not just a few, but a WHOLE bunch. And went on to run for one of the posts in their general election and yay, made it as a welfare officer. With that, I'm part of a committee that's been organising ski trips, poker nights, free bbqs, etc.

3) On the other side, uni studies life has been disappointing. Sigh. Very very depressing. I totally admit that I haven't been putting enough effort in this area of my life. Which is sad. Coz it's the one thing that I'm doing full-time(generally). Like what's my occupation? student right? So, being a student means u study all the time, I assume. So why didn't I? ARgh.. procrastination and laziness.

4) Could not find a job still. Sigh.. I have to try harder. I've said this a million times. But yea.. still gonna have to try. Went for a trial but didn't get the job coz an idiot who can make coffee (quite a sought-after skill coz they serve coffee made using a coffee machine) had an extra skill over me. Bastard. So, anyway, went for an interview with Nando's and didn't hear a thing after that. Others didn't even call. Actually now, I would like to go for an internship in some engineering firm.. then I would be able to at least gain some in-sight experience in the workforce, doesn't matter if the pay is shitty or what. Everyone's doing internship this holiday, so jealous!

5) Saw snow and went skiing for the first time. That was at least a fun part of life last year at least. And not to mention the camp as well. Slept in a tent and had a campfire, hehee, so traditional.

6) Drifted apart with some friends here in Melb whom I used to be close with during college years. Oh well, I blame it on the fact that everyone's too busy and we're doing different courses.

7) Bonded very happily with u guys in Brunei. hehe, really happy to be able to spend quite a lot of time with u all. Great memories formed! sounds so cheesy but yea...:P

8) Finally found a phone that I like enough to sign up for. yay.. i'm so choosy, bleh.

9) Wanted brown hair, had brown hair, then hated it coz of the ugly black roots growing out (had half black half brown hair) and now I'm back to the good ol' black. Kinda vowed never to dye my hair again. Sick of the routine of having to re-dye again and again. Gone are the dyed-hair days.

10) Don't know what other stuffs I've done last year.

Ok, time for some resolutions
- Study hard hard had
- Spend less less less esp on shopping.
- Be more efficient and manage time properly. Means don't slack, do things on time and not in a hurry and eventually turn out late.

Now that I'm back in Melbourne, I feel weird. Like back to the uni again. Back to shitty study life again. No more fun and games, time to get more serious on things. No more waking up anytime I like, going out anytime I like, having spontaneous plans, going online that often esp for Facebook. Was cleaning the apartment yesterday. Unpacking things. Storing things away to respective places. Had classes yesterday and today. Boring. Back to washing dishes, thinking of what to cook daily, grocery shopping, cleaning, studying, WALKING. Soon enough, there's gonna be assignments again, damn it. argh.

I've lost my love for movies/music I think. I dunno.. I used to be very passionate about them. Like I really really had a movie goal of watching a long list of series/movies that I've downloaded and even brought them back to Brunei. But in the end, I didn't even watch 1/4 of them. And I used to take some time, sit down and listen to songs, esp new ones, but now I don't even bother keeping up with albums that came out every now and then recently. I just listen to them if I do otherwise I don't care. In the past, I can't miss any of them. Gotta listen to them. sigh.

Next up on my to-do list is to clean 'My Computer'. Have to get all my crap out of it if I'm getting a new laptop. Want to get the HP pavillion one, I think it's dv4. And have to give this laptop to my sis. And I have very little space on my external hard disk drive.. ahh.. so I have to do the traditional burning them out onto blank DVDs... the torture. So much to burn, from pictures to music to movies to documents. It's gonna be so tedious.

I miss Brunei, I miss driving, I miss family + friends.

here goes my first post of the year 2009..

cant believe it's the year 2009 alreadyyy!! also cannot believe i've come so far in my life...this year will be my 21st year in this world ey, living in this small lil peaceful country, Brunei Darussalam! feel so blessed, and thankful.... ok, cut the craps! =p
