Monday and yesterday went down to city with Thomas, Dustin, Amy, WeiLing and Sarah. Today we are back home except WeiLing. Was a good trip down to M city, really enjoy. We bough quite alot of food and groceries and prepare for the "war"-exam. We went to Springvale, one of the chinese groceries supermarket. WOw!! BAsically can get and buy any chinese stuffs which from HongKong, CHina, SIngapore and Malaysia, really really very convenient. Right now i am quite tired, i think tomorrow i want to watch a movie, either Bad Boys 2 or Tomb Raider 2. Actually i want to watch both show, but i only can choose one tomorrow, or may be i can watch 2 shows one after the another...Friday night party was fantastic, finally my tomato beef, i suggested and added some Barcadi Rum inside, and end really really taste very good!

Tonight we are having a join dinner with 3 houses, so it would be a big party. I will be cook tomato beef and baked beans with fried eggs. Last night i cooked Hokkein mee by myself, beause ZYan is going to Brisbane this afternoon and past few days he was very busy with his works.

Yesterday Charles offered Me and Thomas to go to his house for dinner. Wow, so good the mee soup, was vietnamese type, because he is a vietnamese guy. Holidays coming soon, tomorrow no classes going on, Monday will go to M city with Thomas and some of his cooking group friends, whom i know all of them as well. Just came back from Mid valley for "stocking up" food, thanks to Stacey, because she drove me back home. She just got her car, is 2nd hand Toyota Echo, cost her $10,000 with registration fees, but no insurance yet. A small handy but quite a powerful and useful car.

Finally i have done and finished my sociology assignment, what a relief now...hahaaha. Last night we had a wonderful farewell party for Leon and Helen, our Christian Fellowship (SHINE) leader (they are lecturer as well). Many of us brought a dish for last night, again i cooked pasta, i am getting very used to it, now is so much easy than the 1st time when i cook. After the meal, me and Wileen prepare a song for Leon and Helen, the song is "Will you love Jesus more?" sang by Phillips, Craig and Dean. The reason i sang that song was because i found that lyrics of that song is very meaningful. After we sang the 1st time, people want us to sang it one more time, so we did sang that song one more time to them. People kept praising us that we sang well, nice songs etc. All glory to God! Then we had a little Jamming section: Christopher played piano, i played the guitar, Joo played the Harmonica and Norman played with the "Milo" can as it were a little drum. Overall the party was really wonderful and so so so touching. Farewelll to Leon and Helen...

Half way through to the completion of my sociology assignment. Feeling abit unfair that my housemate got an extension for this asignment, but anyway, i will show him that "I don't need any extension"... Last night after the ISA meeting, the comittee went down to Chen's restaurant for dinner except Webmaster- Yanchyuan, our President- Richmond and our Welfare officer- Zeliha. The dinner was great and we had alot of fun and jokes and funny weird experiences on the bus...The following is just my opinion- Sometimes i just feel that to certain extend, it is not good to tell our friends what to do in their life, because simply we are just friends and we have no rights to "tell" somebody how they should live their life, because how they want to live their life is basically depends on them. People might feel offended often. Even though i might have more experiences than other people in certain areas, but doesn't meant that i have the rights to "tell" someone how to live thier life. Likewise others might have more experiences than me in other areas as well. I think the best way to due with this is, we should only be a neutral person and advice them in a very courtesy manner instead of "telling" someone how you should do or what you should do in ther life or dairy life style. Of course if my friend seek me for help, i will only advice them, not like teaching them how should he/she have to do. Even though among best friends, it is always very hard to put ourselves in other people's shoes and to understand one's situation, simply because all of us are differnent. Although we are human, under the same species, but all of us from all differnent kinds of families, cultures, religions, characteristics, the way we think and the way we live.

Last Saturday, ISA with a bunch of people, we went down to Tulip farm, Chadstone and Royal Melbourne Showground, then we departed back MooMoo land at 9pm and reached home at 11pm. Overall the whole wvwnt was very successful, except some problems here and there because of the people causing alot of problem in coordinating. Currently stressing and busy with my last sociology assignment. Yesterday was my firend Sue Anne birthday. After service, me, Chris and Joo went to buy alot of food for BBQ. Then we arrived at Pastor house around 2pm, then Chris and me started to cook and "BBQ" all the food. After that we had some dessert and a birthday cake was presented to Sue which made by Connie.

3 nights ago just got the msg from g.f, said that our friend in Malaysia got into accident. Gllad that he is safe now, but he got 6 stitches at his eye brow, brusies and wounds all over his body...What happened was he and another friend was riding on individual Motorcycle, when my friend take over his friend, he did not see the upcoming traffic which was another motorcycle, so they got crashed. The location is just somewhere outside the side gate of Sunway College near Medan, i guess those who are familiar at that place will know exactly where i am talking about. So scary... These whole i am quite stressful about alot alot of things. Studies, assignemnt, my poor dog, many more. So amny things to do, i realise that 24 hrs a day is not enough to complete all the work. Today is so windy, really very very windy, like there is typhoon attacking the MooMoo land, just like Korea...Tomorrow ISA (we) are going down for the 3 events Melbourne trip, so exciting, but still have many to study, especially reading for Sociology last assignment. Last night was the 1st time i try to cook lemon chicken, turn out really not bad, although was not the best, because that was only my 1st experiment. That Lemon Chicken photo will up soon...

The webpage is abit redesign, some changes here and there. Today is Tuesday so fast, on Saturday ISA is organizing a trip down to Tulip farm, Chadstone shopping centre and Melbourne showground. By the way chadstone is the largest shopping centre in melbourne. Whereby melbourne showground is something like a carnival. These few weeks has been playing guitar alot, till my left thumb got "numb"...because of barring chords other than simple chords. I love "can't stop praising" so much!!! Especially that part " yes i want you to know, yes i want you to know. Oh yes I, Oh yes I~~~!!!.....Hhahaa Next wednesday is the last socialogy assignment due date. Last assignment i got 64%, still not bad, because i don't expect this mark, i expect the mark could be lower. It is quite challenging for me to take this subject, beause all the while i have been doing all science subjects and all science subjects are based on facts and facts and facts, but sociology is differnent, basically there are no exactly right or wrong answer, as long as it is relevent and logical in sociological concepts and terms then is fine, so at the beginning i had a hard time to pick that up, due to not used to creative learning and thinking, but now i am doing quite fine.

Yesterday only me yanchyuan and weiwei went to radio station. Although it was only the 3 of us, but we still did a good job and everything goes well. Thurday was grandma birthday, Friday was dad's birthday, and next monday is my g.f birthday. Happy birthday to all of you here. Wish all your wishes come true. Tomorrow i am playing guitar in church for praise and worship. Tuesday i am also playing guitar and leading worship in the afternoon for our Christian Fellowship group- SHINE. Today in the afternoon, ISA organised a movie day, Legally Blonde 2 and Pirate of the Carribbean. I did not watch the L.B2, because many many people said it was not nice and quite childish, therefore i went to watch that pirate.

Last night the Mooncake Festival "D'Light" was successfully ended, the number of people who came were out of our expectation. More than 150 people came to the event last night, wow!! SO it was a very successful event last night. Most of the food were finished last night and people were keep on coming, the queue was so long that we afraid there would not be enough food for the people, but still very little amount of food were left behind and we ISA comittee did not even really taste the food, all of us just grabbed alittle abit from here and there, so after the event, we went to Mc Donald's to had our dinner.

Thursday, September 11, 2003

Was very tired and sleepy last night. Actally we were wrapping mini mooncakes for today events and some mysterious special prizes. Finally the Mount Bawbaw trip photos are up in "Samson's Pictures" just go there and have a look, is pretty nice and the scenes are so so so beautiful!!! Good that today i don't have chemistry lab, so that i can have some rest and study later on, before going to do preparation for tonight big event, tonight must be very tiring, but never mind, all of us are here to serve others, esp international students, otherwise what is the meaning of "ISA- International Student Association"? Sociology assignment is coming soon, 2 more weeks before the due date. By the way the last photo in "Samson's Pictures" is the pasta that i cook one night, taste very good, is Carbonara...hehee :O)

Done two chapters of study for sociology yesterday, so far so good. Now i am getting interested in customize my electric guitar body, i dont know yet, but i kind of knowing what i want her to become...just attended the a section whereby what subjects am i choosing next semester. The bad news is there are going to be 4 majors and all are labs based...one good thing is there are two electives i can take in the 2nd semester of next year. 4 labs...very busy and busy. Next yesr, soil science is only available in the 1st semester, so i ahve no choice but to take that, because that is the compulsion subject for what i am doing now. Got a novice driving tool kit from a friend, think of taking that computer theory test end of this month, may be...get the "L" plate and learner permit license 1st. Because have to wait for 6 months become i get the "P" license, so around mid of next year i can take the pratical test. Otherwise if i don't take that test now, next year then i take the computer test, have to wait for months, that means 2005 then i can take the driving test...

Finally just finished my current job for the ISA mooncake festival, but more to come. There is a change of date for that mooncake festival, now is on Thursday 11 September 2003. Seriously we have no choice, but to choose on that "911"...Yesterday after the lab, then i went to South 1 to cook pasta- Carbonara for Sangee, Zyan, Yanchyuan and Siew Yan. They all were kept praising me that the pasta was so so so so goood....so delicious etc. hehehe Thank you guys. ACtually this is not the 1st time that i cook pasta, previously i only cooked for myself and tasted it out, so that i know what can i improve on my pasta. After that went back and was rushing my bio lab report, but at 3:30am, my brain got stucked, so i can't think anymore, therefore i went to sleep...zzzz This morning supposingly i need to wake up at 9am and continue my lab report, but i overslept till 10am...Thank God that in the end i still able to finished that lab report on time and submitted them just now. It is so hard to squeeze everything in bio lab report from title to conclusion in 4 pages, it is almost impossible, mission impossible. But if we don't follow the instruction, our lab report will not be marked and automatically be given back to us.

Thursday, September 04, 2003

These few days quite tiring actually, have to rush for all my 3 lab reports this week, now left one that will due tomorrow. I am also busy with ISA next major event, the "D'Light" Moon cake festival on next Wednesday, 10 September. Like typing and sending the invitation letters to other department in the MooMoo land campus, contact restaurant for catering, helping out for other stuffs etc. Although the actually day for moon cake festival is on Thurday 11 September, but since 11 September (911) is quite an sensitive issue, therefore we decided to put it one day ahead.

Such a long time that since i "talked" here on Friday. Last saturday was so so so fun, ISA and photography club went to Mount BAwBaw- a ski trip... Thank God that day was snowing!! We all were so happy and really all of us gone crazy. The sceneraies were so white, so clean, so beautiful, just soooo goooood!!!! Once we arrived, we put on our full armor gear then first thing we did was throwing snow balls... After that me and yanchyuan rented a snowboard and a pair of shoes specially for snowboarding. That pair of shoes was really heavy and so huge!! Then Geraldine, Melanie, Sue Anne, Yanchyuan, Siew Yan, me and Zyan went to have some light lunch, wasn't that good, because it took so long for the food to "arrive" in our mouth. After the lunch, we played togbogans and we were screaming and screaming. (i mean is not me, they all..hahahha) Why?? because simply it is so funny and silly...

The weather changes alot, it almost changed every half an hour. Suddenly it rained (snow), then suddeny the big Sun came out behind the cloud, suddenly so cloudy and all of suddenly it was so windy. I am still collecting photos from Zyan, because my digi cam out of batt at that moment, i guess the temperature was too cold till the digi cam want to "on strike" and "hibernate". Me and yanchyuan fell down many many times when we played snowboarding, really countless. When we were about to pick up how to balance and turning, it was the time that we had to go back to MooMoo land at 5pm...so sad... As far as i know, around Gippsland, there are 4 snowy mountains, just want to "conquer" them as long as i am still in Gippsland Monash Uni. One is Mt. Bawbaw, the other 2 are almost next to each other, they are located at Sales there. One is called Mt.Hotham, the other is Falls Creek. The last one is Mt.Buller. Hopefull the ski trip photos could be up by the end of this week.
