Officially sick!

Okay, finally I'm sick. 

1) High fever around 37.7-38 degree celcious.

2) Sore throat.

3) Bad cough with flame.

All in one, aren't they great to me? *Being sarcastic*

Reasons:

1) Coughing everywhere. People around me in uni and at home had bad cough like really bad. The germs must have spread over to me.

2) Change of season from winter to spring. People always get sick easily when there is change of season.

3) Overstress, overwork and deprived of sleep. If you read my blog regularly, I'm sure you know that I have been really busy for the past few weeks and didn't not have enough sleep. Only had a couple hours of sleep per day.

I had an appointment with the doctor this morning and waited for my turn for more than 30 minutes in the medical centre. All I got is just a medical certificate. Nope, nothing else not even medicine just a sick leave. He said it's not infectious so I do not need to take antibiotics, not necessary. I just need to rest more and keep myself warm, that's all I have been told. But, I'm glad he gave me a sick leave that lasts for 4 days from yesterday to Friday. Yay! No uni for me finally I get to rest. I really need it as I haven't got any rest since so long. Thank you doctor!

Another issues due to my absence in uni. I've got a big report that due on Friday. It's a group one though but since I didn't go to uni for 2 days already I didn't contribute much on it. I'm pretty sure my boss (leader whom I called him boss) isn't that happy with that so I sent an email to my technical tutor and another lady who is responsible with this unit about my situation of missing all the assessments. Technical tutor seems to be understandable with my situation but that *tut* lady hasn't replied my email yet. Is she doing that on purpose or what? I really despise her because I think she's racist. Well, I'm not going to talk about her. Like I will, duh. Besides that, electrical systems assignment is due on Friday too. Oh crap, yep sent an email to lecture hopefully he'll give another replacement or option. Please!

Sigh, good and bad. Hopefully everything turns out to be okay. Wish me luck people! and thanks for those who sent me those warmth and caring texts and messages hoping me to get well soon. They meant a lot to me. :)

Pursuit of Dream

Go people, 
Go ahead with what you're doing for your dream,
Go ahead with what you think is beneficial to your future.

You never know unless you try,
You cannot be afraid of failure,
You must be determined enough.

"What if it's not gonna work" you ask,
"What if I fail even if I have tried" you ask,
"What if I waste my time for nothing" you ask.

Remember nothing is gonna change unless you do something,
Remember what makes people success is the lesson of their failure,
Don't forget how much and why you want this dream at the very beginning.

Superwoman

Oh god~ Spare me my life please, will ya?

Hmmm..

I've been very very busy after the one week of break. Assignments, reports, tests and exams keep coming to me. I hardly have the time to take a break myself or even have a good sleep. Schedule is very hectic, almost everyday I have something else to tend to or submit for assessment. It seems to be the busiest part of my life so far cause I've never been so busy before, even till I only get a few hours of sleep each day. For your information, I'm a heavy sleeper, I need to sleep in for more than average sleeping hours of normal people so it's kinda tough for me sometimes. "Jia lat" you know? In hokkien means susah/very hard. Indeed, very jia lat for me.

Mentally and physically exhausted. Mentally due to overstress and overuse of brain but why physically? Because I had to f*cking run to the bus stop for my bus to uni this morning. I couldn't be late cause I had my electrical system mid semester exam at 8am. If I happened to miss the bus, I had to walk to the uni which takes more than 15 minutes to reach the lecture hall where I had my exam. Damn, it was really tiring cause I didn't exercise for ages. Current stamina = 0. Except for the fact that I did some workouts at home myself for the past few weeks but I've already stopped my workouts thanks to the hectic schedule of mine. Uni has getting more and more intense, I've got so much to catch up with and I better do that or else *slash* & *blooding splashing out from me* mean death which is horrible. By the way, I normally walk to uni like everyday. Today was an exception cause I was thinking of spending couple more minutes to study the last bit before I went for the exam so I had to take bus for the reason that I can reach the uni within shorter period of time compare to walking myself there. Phew, luckily I managed to catch on the bus to uni.

But I'm sorry don't expect or give me more works to do cause I am NOT a superwoman (Is Superman or Superwoman even existed in this world?). If you do, I think I'll probably break down just like my previous laptop which has officially broke down. Thus, I had to get a new laptop on last saturday. No choice but to get a new one and it's MacBook Pro. Yes, another new apple gadget of mine. I'll probably post something about my apple gadgets on the next post when I have time to do so. (Ugh feeling guilty spending so much money on purchasing the current laptop cause this is the third one already.) Sorry dad. I hope you understand my situation and I think you do. Thank you very much! & I love you!

Okay see ya soon peeps, I gotta work on my stuff now.

Sleepless Nights

Phew~ It's been a while since I had a good sleep or perhaps a nap. Why said so? Cause I haven't been sleeping these few nights, only for a few hours then woke up early in the morning to finish off the reports. At least one thing to be submitted each day and continuously. GREAT stuff aye! Feeling satisfied after taking a long nap this afternoon. Woosh~ Finally got to have at least a good sleep.

Uni life oh~ I was expecting uni life to be very relax and easy but I was very wrong. Very wrong. People kept telling me that uni life is gonna be one of the best thing in your life cause you don't have to go to uni everyday and your time would be very flexible. But I keep asking myself why isn't it happening to me. Why not me?

Now, I realise why. I think it has something to do with the course people do. The course I'm doing right now... Sigh, I'm really speechless sometimes. I have to go to the uni to attend my tutorials or lectures from Monday to Friday, morning to late afternoon, sometimes evening. Basically it's just like going to school everyday but going to school would be much more fun and less stressful cause in uni, you will need to focus and concentrate what is being taught most of the times or else you're gonna be a dead meat. I do no need to elaborate furthermore on this cause you might get the idea of how uni life is now.

Not to hide it with you, I do skip lecture though, not tutorials cause I need a break sometimes and give myself time to chillax a bit. Ops, I did it again today cause I couldn't wait to go home and sleep my ass off after so many days of sleepless nights. Feel guilty but at least I can manage those lectures myself so not to worry about it. The units I'm doing at the moment are like math and science stuff so it's still okay for me, just that I hate it when I need to do reports. It's okay to do it once in a while but in my case, the due date for the reports is all packed up and I can't even have a break before doing the next one. Not every time but it has been happening for quite a number of times already since semester 2. So yeh...

Thus, weekend is the thing that I anticipate the most and YES! weekend is arriving soon! Awesome shiz~ It's the only time I get to chillax with the friends, eat good food and rest my mind a bit. Talking about the stress, it actually isn't a bad thing cause it drives your motivation sometimes but getting too much of that might be a little tough when you're going through that stage.

Okay, see you soon weekend.

Just to add a one more point, sometimes I would even need to stay at home during the weekends and thanks to the shizzz. AWESOME!

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,
Time is running fast,
Every seconds, minutes, hours,
Are you up with it or still catching up with it?

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,
Ever since it starts to tick it just won't stop,
No matter what reason you have or who you are,
Aren't you afraid of losing more of your time?

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,
As it moves forward, you're getting older and older,
Even, leaving your past and memories behind,
Aren't you scared of getting older and losing more?

Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

Keep it up if you're on the track with the time,
Quickly catch up with it if you're not on the track,
Cherish the precious time if you don't want to lose anymore,
Because we cannot afford to lose the precious time and our loved one.

Don't be scared of being old cause it means you're getting wiser and wiser,
Age is just a number and for the real purpose, it reminds you of how many years you have lived so far,
As for the memories, it's gonna be the most beautiful things in your life that you will reminiscence in the future,
So let us race with the time and see what's ahead of our path, be strong cause it's gonna be a tough one.

Hit Right Through My Heart

It's the beat,
It's the rhythm,
It's the perfect vocal they have.

Even if I do not understand what the lyrics means,
Even if I have not experienced that story in my life yet,
But when I watch and listen to it, I seem to have a taste of that feeling.

The sorrow,
The sadness,
The misery that torture them.

Perhaps, the happiness,
The satisfaction,
The enjoyment that overflow them.

Music,
So it is the music they called,
Being so wonderful and hit right through my heart.

Feels Like A Korean

I've been listening and exposing myself to Korean Pop music since last year. And I gotta tell you, it's addictive. I never thought I would get myself intoxicated by K-Pop music so much. Dang, those songs are just purely awesome. I'm feeling the rhythm every time I listen to those songs even though I don't understand Korean language. Actually you don't have to if you originally don't (I'm planning to learn it if time allows me), all you gotta do is feel it, the music and the beat.

Nowadays, I only listen to K-Pop music. I do still listen to Chinese and English songs though, just that I'm spending most of the time listening to K-Pop music. Everyday, I keep searching for new K-Pop songs to feed my thirst for this current addiction of mine. I just won't stop listening to it. That's all I can say. 

P/S: Korean singers can really dance. My heart melts when I watch them dancing in the music video. How I wish I could dance just like they do.

Go check it out if you haven't done so but I assume most of you have already cause K-Pop has gone international now.

Childhood Friend

When I was young (couldn't really remember how old I was that time), I used to have him around my side all the time.  He was my friends and at the same time, being my far away cousin as well. We played together, went to the primary school together, had fun together and basically doing almost everything together because he was living quite near to my house. It was the old good times we had together.

Abruptly, I was told that he had to move all the way to Singapore due to certain reasons which I'm not particularly too sure what they were as I was still very young. I couldn't even barely remember how things went after he went away and didn't have the chance to send him off the airport. In my mind, as if he just disappeared from this world and no further news about him were being announced.

Once in a while, my family did mention about him and say he was doing great over there. Nothing much in particular except for the fact that he was doing very well. At least, I still got to know that he was doing great all those times. What a relief.

There was one time I got the chance to see him after he left for so many years. It was during my secondary school (can't remember my exact age though). My sister, another childhood friend and I were all tensed up and excited at the same time. Complicated feelings were all mixed up when we were told that he was coming to visit us. He has grown so much that I couldn't really recognised him at first. Everyone was happy and laughing all the time and we got to play with each other once again. Indeed, it was the old good times. Memory was being refreshed and it was just like the time we used to spend together.

Up until now, I haven't got any chance to see him again even though he did go back to visit everyone a couple times cause I went overseas for my further studies after graduating from my high school. What a waste, I know right. Fate, i guess. I was delighted when mum called over and told me that he wanted to see me but we couldn't. It's alright I thought, as least he still wanted to see me after so long. I'm happy that he still remembers me as his friend.

During my previous semester break, I went back to my real home where I belonged. He arrived one day before my flight returned to Perth to attend his uncle's wedding. I really wanted to see him but it was all sort of complicated and also due to the time constraint, I missed the chance to see him again. What the, I know right. Just before I went to the airport, my grandma put me on the phone. It was him and I was feeling a bit nervous as we haven't talked to each other for ages. It was kind of rushing so I only got his email address. Yay! Like finally. Internet is like the coolest thing ever cause once I have your email address, we can be connected all the time (you know it). 

But I still can't get in touch with him yet even though I've already added him and even sent him an email. I'm wondering if I got the incorrect spelling or whatever it was. Very disappointing after going through all these. I'm thinking if he's wondering why haven't I contact him after that but there's nothing else I could do except for another chance in my life.

Anyway, I believe I'll definitely get the chance to see him again in future. I could give him a visit if I happen to go to Singapore. That's all I have to do I suppose. Till then, I hope he's doing great and I wish him the best wishes! And lastly, i would wish to say "I miss you, my friend".
