Rain

Australia's Weatherman has been slacking off lately, giving empty hopes and broken promises of rain for the past few weeks. And then, he promised rain again... but this time he guaranteed that there would be rain...

It's Autumn here in Perth, normally by this time, there will be plenty rain fall, people will be don with raincoats and knee high boots. Umbrellas are useless here, no one wants to end of like Marry Poppins *flying in the sky* albeit by the strong winds, not magic...

The sky has been gloomy for the past few days, the promised rain did not come. WA was let down once again... And then it came, with violent gushes of winds and a huge downpour. Ahhh, this one is a late comer, what a way to make an entrance. But no matter, we are all happy to see it come. It's been a month since there is any rain fall in Perth. Welcome home.

For me, I like gloomy days and I like heavy downpours; that is when I am contently sitting in my room watching as rain drops pelt at my window. The sound of rain drops falling seems to calm me for some reason. For one thing, I am warm and safe, not wet and cold. I love rainy seasons when it does not involve me.

Laziness....

I can't wait for next friday....feeling so excited I will finally get to watch Phantom of the Opera!!!!! Lalalala~ Hope it's as good as the critiques mention...

Back in the Land of Down Under, feeling ubber lazy, must be the weather, so cooling and sunny, it hardly feels like it's summer. I pray for continuos good weather, and I pray that I will get my job back, need the cash for my winter holiday.

Classes are starting tomorrow, hopefully that will put me back into Uni pace. *Buckle up Win, it's your last year >.<*

I was thinkin wat.....

I was about to update another post for my blog, when I got distracted by mum telling something else....yes, I was thinking something else, I got back to the keyboard and then ______________________________ I forgot what I wan to write already.......



=_______________= Does this not happen to you? Is it not annoying, and I just

realize that my life nowadays are seemingly parrallel to episodes of "Lucky Star", I think i watched waaaay tooo many animes. Sigh, don't think I'm gonna get my ideas back now...Might as well get some gaming done.....

It never ends, doesn't it....

Ugh, been feeling ubber depress since I got back home. To think that I have to do a Summer Unit when everyone else is having fun, not exactly my kind of vacation. Truth to be told, I rather I am working my ass off, at least I get paid and I have something to add to my CV. *Very practical Win, very practical*

Alas, I am but stuck with another thesis to be due end of January, sure it always seems like I am given a lot of time, it's never enought in the end *sigh, yea, time management, you'll think I'll learn after all those lessons*

Not only that, the internet connection here is so slow that it hurts, the refresh button has currently been the most pressed button on my browser, I can't work without the internet, dammit! Having the internet is the whole point of an external *overseas* unit.... I need to learn to be grateful, I really do... And of course, my results, why can't God just let me have it easy just this once, why do I always have to face technical problems all the time....Well, at least I did not fail any of my subject, right?! *Not like I have ever set my sights so low, not that I have a choice this year*

At least coming back, means good food, and lots of mum's nagging *all those that I have missed while I am gone, what can I say it's good to be back*, not to mention i have been out shopping for quite a few times too, haul quite a good load as well. Wohoo~ and not to mention that I manage to bribe my parents off for my 21st prezzie, not that it's anything to show off, but hey, I feel the love~~~ Oh well, at least it's not all bad. So to say, I'm home.

Can't think....

Oh why do we have to reference every single thing that we think about. We can't have our own thoughts, we have to have someone who is more "superior" to back us up. Why the hell do they bother with originality anyways. Just because those people thought of those things first does not neccessary mean that they know everything better. And because of all this, I have to give them credit for my ideas....talk about plagiarising. Bah!

Celebrations....

I no longer remember the last time I have ever properly celebrated my birthday. Not for as long as I can remember. The method of celebration is often or not the same, going out for lunch or dinner or maybe tea. Then there were presents and also the well- wishers. I have to say I greatly appreciate that.

But to be honest, while I enjoy celebrating birthdays for my frieds, I have never quite enjoy mine being celebrated, I don' know why, but since 12 or so, I have stop wanting to celebrating it and looking forward to this date. The only time where I actually realize its my birthday, most often or not is because I share the same date with a few of my friends, and also because most of my friends birthday tends to fall in October.

I appreciate the effort that my friends would want to celebrate my birthday with me, but I don't need or want a celebration. Many of those that are close to me is aware of this fact, and I did my best to let those around know that I do not wish to celebrate this date.

This year, being the first year being overseas, naturally my housemates out ot good intentions wanted to celebrate this date with me, as usual I try to worm my way out of it, I decline it as it comes. Trust me when I say that I appreciate the effort, I do! For some reason, they are hurt by the fact, I know that, I can tell, afterall I might be blurr but I am not an idiot.

I know, I might be selfish or whatever you want to call it, but afterall it is my birthday, you have asked me so many times how I wanted to celebrate, I have told you so many times, that I don't want to celebrate, that I want it to be just another day. I understand your intentions, I get it and I truly greatly appreciate it. But, you see, I don't wish for anything for my birthday, I don't want anything, no presents, no gifts, no surprises....Just a normal day, a day when everything can go right. I know, I'm weird, but that is what I want. Is that too much to ask for my birthday?

Notice

This blog's status will be on hiatus untill the owner's return from her vacation with loads of pictures and tales...XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Spice of Life.....

Apparently rainbows are quite a commom thing in Australia, I see them quite often after rain. But so far, I have not manage to find my pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow....Just my luck.

However, double rainbows are still a rare sight, in fact I have never even known that double rainbow exist until I heard it from Auntie Jillian, so ever since then I had wanted to catch one with my own eyes...The wait paid off! I finally laid eyes on them, such a beautiful sight, but I must say the don't look quite as impressive in photos as they do in actual form, first time I have use this word to describe this sight, majestic sight!

Oh well, better let the picture do the talking...as promised!




The secondary rainbow is a little faint, but notice that the area under the more prominant rainbow seems brighter?


I have been wanting to put up this pic for some time now, right now the tree is already botak!

Oh, I cannot resist this, I have to show my iPod to the world...




And the iPod dock that comes with it...Win's a happy girl now!~

The latest look of Win's study table:


Laden with tour brochure for my upcoming trip....Gonna clear that soon, it'll be a new mess in 2 days time, have to start on the assignments soon...haih! Life of a Uni student is as such.

Going to Araluen tomorrow, next post will be a flowery post! Yay, after that back to work!

Ta~

When everything goes wrong....

Haih, I dun think the weather here agrees with my skin, let alone me....It's either too hot, too cold, too windy or too dry. I really dun like the weather here, fullstop.

The breakouts on my face is unfortunately not giving me a break, it's still continuing...Don't know what did i do wrong, what should I do to make it up to you skin? Can't you just go a little easy on me? Aren't you tired of the never ending inflamation, sores and pain? I think what I need is a good facial to officially clear everything off my face, but alas facial requires money the last thing I feel like doing is spending more money....Not after the last splurge (Win's got a new iPod plus a dock! *whoots*) That's the plus bit in my life now....

I am not particularly enjoying my classes as well, not when there is a freaking test every week for every single unit. Sure, they say don't be too stress about, don't study too hard (yea right!), but how can you do well in a test if you don't study! I also realize juggling a part time job while studing can be quite tedious, I absolutely salute those who manage to do it, seriously! I suck at time management, although I would say it could be worst, at least I still manage to get everything done. Maybe, I am just not use to filling up every second of my time by having something to do. Afterall, I DID spent six months at home doing nothing, ok, that is nothing to be proud of... Live life to the fullest. That USED to be my motto, not so sure now, not when life is full to the brim and on the verge of over flowing...Life and reality hits back more than what I asked for.

However, the units that I am taking did some what give me another insights to life, fueling my cynacalism towards (Hmmm, not sure if that is a good thing, but i can live with that), in a sense I am critically thinking of everything thing now. The world is such an interesting place with all the ironies of man made theories made to confuse our already complicated life...As if life itself s not hard enough to understand already, scholars actually burden themselves to actually theorize and label everything under the sun, oh let's not leave out the spiritual thinkings and what nots. But, come to think about it, if those people have not done that, I would not be studying this unit now, would I. So, curse them or bless them?

All these theories is getting to confuse me....The only reason I am even up at this hour is because of the caffeine (did I spelt that right), was trying to keep myself awake to study, but I couldn't take coffee, so I settled for 2 tea bags instead. The caffeine did not kick in when it's suppose to and now when I wanted to sleep, let's just say I did a very good job of keeping myself awake at unearthly hours.... Thank God, classes only starts at noon tomorrow.

Last note, this has got to be the longest blog I have written in months, and I promise to shower the next one with pictures to let it do the talking instead of all these textual readings. Meanwhile, knock yourself out on this one.

Random-ness

Due to the fact that my mum keeps telling me to be careful while i am jogging near the river, cause she keeps telling me that if i am not careful i will fall into the river *rolls eye* have a look at the pics people and then tell me mum, how on earth will i fall into the river...unless if it's really dark or maybe if I am drunk or high on something. Of these two possibilities, none of them is even close to happening..So yea, dun worry mum, i WON'T fall into the river....But the river is nice, yes?







Oh, I also happen to do some shoping, need to prepare myself for winter, therefore I've bought....tadaa~


The trench coat...


The boots...Have to go for kids size some more, cause they don't have my size..sigh~


The raincoat...Cause it rain quite frequently during winter...had an experience of being drench in the rain during Autumn, dun want to try it again...damn cold wei!

Well, I know my dad wil faint when he sees this, but there's a sale coming up soon, i think i might go and a have a look again, see if I can find a good bargain. That is if they even have my size lah....

Bunnies and birds~

They say:

Birds of a feather flock together...


But to improvise Maro's version, since she dun like birds and feather:

Bunnies of a fluff hoops together...

These are normal....

The everyday's to do list in Perth Australia,

1. Get sun-tanned, regardless you want it or not
2. Get harrassed by houseflies, maybe dessert flies or watever you call them here, cause they are so damn annoying!
3. Walking really long distance, that's like exercise for me, not bad if the weather is not so hot!
4. Meeting old folks and talking to them, cause that's the only thing you can do when u spend hours waiting for a good damn bus!
5. Eating rabbit food, whether you wan it or not. Auntie fancies eating lotsa green, so well... I need to get use to this one.
6. Stuffing a whole bread into a container, even though you know it won't fit, even though you know it won't look appetizing. But, that's what you have to do when you want to save some mullah!
   
   
   
   Our pathetic lunch, but it taste quite good actually....honest, swear to God!
   
   
7. Train your brain to do quick math, cause you will need to do some serious calculating when you see a very nice bag, or some very delicious food. Cause, roti canai don't cause 5 bucks in Malaysia!
8. But at the same time, you need to have the ability to turn off the calculator in your head, cause if you try to convert everything, you will end up having sandwich everyday; apparently that's the cheapest thing i could find.
9. Get used to mispronounciation in cantonese, cause that's what Rick does...Long story
10. Get used to unexpected burst out laughter from my housemate Poh, actually i dun think i can get used to that...Is it something i said?

Well, at least we know what to expect in a day to day life in Australia....

Here's where I live, not too shabby I would say, I really don;t mind having a house like that in future.....

Not another one!?

It all started with Survivor, then we have American Idol (and not to mention Simon Cowell) a highly successful reality series. We also have Who wants to be a millionaire? America's Next Top model, the Apprentice,the horrific Fear Factor and of course; the ever so amazing, Amazing Race...And a few more which i don't remember.





Let' face it its getting cold...not to mention old, how many more reality TV shows do we need? And if that is not lame enough, we have Pirates (Pirates of the Carribean?)and what is this???? *sputter* WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO?




Really, i dunno should i praise America's creativity, or their never know when to quit spirit.... So, what's next; Who wants to be the best maskot of the year?
