I am too lazy to type and I am currently out of words as well. So hahahaha let pictures do the job okay? Xoxo.
Introduction to Sound and Radio Broadcast.
This is the individual workstation. Awesome isn't it?
This is how I decorate my study desk. Bought aroma candles, [All the best] cup given by Jae.
Polaroid photos hanging there to remind me how much my friends love me.
Eiffel mouse pad handmade by Mick. I'm blessed.
The Sky View Ferris Wheel. Also named as the Tourist Wheel. Located at Fremantle near South Beach. It is indeed a very nice experience although it freaks the shit outta me. It just won't stop, uh?
So this is how I study at night. Brah, could you believe this? It was just freaking week 4 and hell lots of works to be submitted. #Hectic WHAT A LIFE. wait, I have no life.
Come come. Let me show you my pretty face. *Evil grin* This was taken at Fremantle during those weekend outings. I know I am pretty. Hehhhh. Please notice that graffiti behind me. That's the main point. Anyway you can see all these artsy things everywhere in Australia.
Rainbow cake made by master chef Candy Valentina Chen *claps*
Comfort food. Finally I found one restaurant (Aisuru Sushi, located at Northbridge Perth City) that I am satisfied with. Gonna go more often next time. The price is reasonable and the quality of food is above average! Not bad, worth trying! Anyway, I had Beef teriyaki and Scallop Sushi Roll. Yums!
I told Sammie that I want to take picture with every single road sign and this will be my mission. She was pretty annoyed I guess xD But I found these signs unique ma.. What do you think? *wink*
Anyway, please always GIVE WAY to CLAUDIA! It applies to everyone. Teehee
Got to know this new friend named Jasmine. She is Sam's friend from Singapore and I have to say she's really a good person. Very lovely, very caring. I am glad that I have the chance to meet her. Her birthday was few days ago and here I want to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASMINE!
Umm, I am from Murdoch University but yeah... I want to take picture with this Curtin University thingy. Errr anyway, what do you call this? Banner? Billboard? Signboard? Or what?
That special kind of McFlurry Oreo. We have plenty of choices here, unlike those in Malaysia. And they're very generous with the Oreo crunch. They just pour in great amount and you will not have to worry about eating plain ice cream after few bites. But, eating ice cream during winter is definitely a love-hate thing. Cold as if you're gonna die soon, but it feels good, in certain ways. Haaahahh.
Bought Macaroons! We have this sorta-like-night-market thingy going on every Thursday on campus. So you can buy macaroons, fruits, banana cakes, clothes and bags, accessories, printer and inks, and many many more things. So I can't resist the temptation and bought these back.
Flavours are Lemon, Cookie & Cream and Caramel. HEAVEN.
With Candy at Samantha Eng's crib. Heeeeeee. Selfie doing its job well. Weather getting better so I wore my favorite Denim sweater. No more bulky heavy winter clothes. #OhGodWhy
Sammie's aunty made these kuihs. Typical Asian taste. It made me feel like home. YUMS. Can I have more, please?
*Greedy kid face*
Umm. Australia's weather is so uncertain that it changes within few minutes. You can have shine-like-a-diamond kind of sunlight at this moment; another second it will pour like there's no tomorrow. And what make things better is the rainbow after rain. It appears like every single time and rainbow is no rare phenomenon here.
Spending time having dinner at Samantha Eng's place. Went to buy the ingredients with Samantha and cooked with her. I know I am not a good cook... So I just help cutting vegetables and cleaning up the mess. Hoo-haaa for few hours, finally sit down and eat with the peeps. CHEERS!
Asian family in Western country. HUAT AH~
Participated in the student volunteer for Murdoch Open Day 2013.
It was fun. For people like me, who is also a freshie in university volunteered to help out in Open day. To be honest, I don't even know where I should direct them when they asked me the whereabouts. I went blank and randomly pointed somewhere /.\ Hahaha. At least I offered help okay. DONT JUDGE!
Had fun. As you can see from the photo above, I went on a pony ride offered by the Vet school. My weight is justtttttttttttt right at its maximum. Lucky bastard.
Nothing much to describe this. Ummmm. I just like the railway. Looks so authentic and definitely a nice background for OOTD/POTD/Whatsoever shit.
And yeah, they have this during Open Day. It looked more like fun fair. Lol
Somewhere on the street of Northbridge.
Nice art again! Loving this city.
This is the State Library of WA, as shown above. Haha. It is very large inside and they come with cafes. So when you're bored or tired of studying, have a cup of coffee or cheese cake and chill.
Naw. This is not a library X) This is a night club named Library. GOTCHA!
When it shows you one way, don't trust it without doubting. Question yourself and look for other ways.
There are always alternative ways. Don't be stuck.
Nice and beautiful sceneries. I like antique buildings. It is the side profile of a church by the way.
I have no idea what building is this, but I'm loving the design! So classic and old-fashioned!
That beautiful-looking kind of sky. That environment. That peaceful atmosphere. Aw. and this is found opposite of South Beach, Fremantle.
Finally found this! Matcha ice cream. You cannot find it anywhere else. Just this place. YUMS! It tastes so good that I want to order one more but the price is just.... le sigh *gasps*

Sunday 25 August 2013 // 8/25/2013 05:47:00 pm
It has been so long since I last blogged. It is time to wipe away those dusts. Hee.
Phew.. I realized that my transition process isn't going smooth. And when I thought I was ready and prepared to face all these, I wasn't.
So many homework, assignments and presentations. It just go on and on and on... I can never see an end. Even for this study break, we actually have tons of things on hand that's not done yet. I have one research proposal due 2 weeks later; 2 writing portfolio due 2 weeks later as well; 1 essay due 4 weeks later; and etc etc etc..
All in all, I am still not use to the hectic lifestyle here. I am, absolutely, NOT READY.
What haunts me most is the pressure I gave to myself. I can't deny the fact that I am a perfectionist and I want to do things to its best. And I realized it is so hard to strive for it when I am here in Australia. So much to cope. The language...the culture... everything basically.
I thought I am okay with the homesickness. I thought I am okay with the loneliness. I thought I've made it through the hard times. But it seemed I have overestimated myself.
At times, I just broke down and can't stop crying. I try to appear as happy as possible in front of my friends because I do not want them to worry about me, especially my parents. I do not want to be a baby girl in front of them and put them into sleepless nights thinking about me. When I am alone, I feel scared. I feel helpless. I feel like running away from this place. I just want to go home. But.. I know I can't. I can't disappoint my parents my friends, I can't leave with regret. The only thing I could do is to keep all these emotions to myself, stand up and fight again.
This routine goes the same everyday. Everyday I wake up with passion, goes to class with hope, came back feeling hopeless and defeated, sleep with tears and sorrow and it goes round and round and round. It is a cycle. Until a point where I can't take it anymore, I just feel like bursting everything out to someone.
I am not sure how long can I hold on. I can only promise I will try my level best. I will try until the moment I can't take it anymore.
我很努力地撑 却一次一次被打败 一次次觉得自己没用 觉得自己失败
对自己怀疑 是否做错了决定 是否当初不应该说要来这里
信念开始摇摆 信心已经决堤 什么理想梦想 都仿佛离我远去
可不可以交出自己 全放弃?
我每一天都在努力,却痛苦地挣扎...
I FEEL LIKE GOING HOME.
I WANT TO BE HOME.

Sorry guys for not updating my blog, letting it to collect dust.
Give me some time, I will slowly update the blog with some previous events and moments. Just give me some time. Hee.
So... BAAM! I'm now in Australia already. Amazing isn't it? Was still in Malaysia the previous post and now in Australia already. Hah. funny me.
Everything feel so different here. The people, the lifestyle, the culture, the language, basically EVERYTHING. And I ain't feeling very good for this change. I am still adapting and trying to fit into this new society. Sometimes I have to admit that change is good for enriching our experience and make us grow and learn to be a better person. And this is a process that we have to face everyday, either willingly or subconsciously. But, as a person who doesn't really like changes and is very attached to the same routine will find this rather stressful.
I feel as though I'm dreaming. I feel like this is so not realistic. I feel so untrue. Am I really here in Australia already? I can't believe this. Until the weather reminded me : Yeah bitch, welcome to the lalaland.
Today is the 8th day staying in Australia. I can still remember how much tears I've shed and let out countless sighs. I've now slowly accepted the lifestyle here and am able to catch up the locals' pace. I've learned to figure things on my own, be independent and try not to make mistakes, well I mean, severe mistakes like offending the law. This is no longer a "Bolehland" so it is impossible to break the law and run away after that. Haaaaaa. haaaaaaaa.
Somehow, I still miss my family. I miss home. I miss my parents. I miss my doggies. I miss the food back there in Malaysia. I miss my friends. I miss my past university. No matter how good Australia is, I will always prefer my homeland. Glad I've made some friends here. At least they provide me with mental supports to go through the pain of homesickness. I feel like crying every time I think about my parents. But all I can do is to control my own emotions, be strong be tough and be a good girl.
Glad to know Cho Zin, Samantha, Candy Valentina, Lee and Samson have always stayed by my side and especially Sammie who has always granted me the closest feeling of a friend here :')
Some of them cope very well. They're here just for a few days and they can party hard, go wild, traveling everywhere in the city. But me, I still prefer the laid back lifestyle. Sit down, drink a cup of tea, watch some movies and chill. Some people might think I'm such a antisocial bitch. Some of them even think that I'm wasting my parents' money if I don't learn to live the way they do.
Am I really wrong? Do I really need to change myself this way? I don't like to party. I don't like to drink. I don't like to be at some boys' house until late night and hangover the other morning. I just want a normal life like hangout to the beach with my darlings and honeys; go grocery shopping every weekend; go to the mall looking at the nice outfits and telling each other not to buy them due to tight budget and all. But am I not supposed to be in this way? I'm confused. Should I change myself in order to be socially accepted or stick to my very own style and be me?
Tell me about it.
Sigh. Here comes my mood swing again. Bye. Talk to you later.
Oh yeah, a small greetings to everyone in that typical Aussie slang.
Btw, I'm now studying Public Relations in Murdoch University, South St Campus.
"G'dai mate"
Murdoch University.
Campus sight.
My study table. And I bought that study lamp. Freaking Murdoch Student Village didn't provide us with it.
Brought my plushies along with me all the way to Australia <3 xoxo
Cottesloe Beach.
Me with shades!
Bitchy sunlight at the beach. Utterly shiny and such a pain in the ass for human eyes.
Samantha from Singapore. Sweetie pie :3
Awesome breakkie cooked by Candy who just live downstairs. FATE <3
Blue blue sky, green green water.
Tidbits at night, on ze bed, with le toys.

Hi. So if you realize, my posts are getting shorter and shorter compared to those previous ones.
But I believe, quality is always more important than quantity right?
Hah. And I think my posts are not meant for entertainment purposes so I don't have to please anyone by writing it perfectly.
Throwback something. On Saturday, I met up with one of my brothers which is not consanguine, Ivan from my ex university and he gave me some presents as farewell gift and also belated birthday present. His dad even bought me a bar of chocolate and I guess it is quite pricy (?) from the labels and packaging :/ I am grateful but at the same time feel a lil bit embarrassing for accepting people's gift without doing anything.. So I called up and said thank you to Ivan's papa as appreciation and an act of courtesy!
Ivan is by far the most gentleman guy I've known for my entire life. I mean so far. He treated me Starbucks just because he is a guy and he needs to do so. And he insisted that! No offense, I don't mean all guys SHOULD do that and I don't judge people from all these acts, I am just surprised by his gentleman acts that's it. Chatted with him for few hours and exchanged quite a lot of thoughts. Though we don't meet often but no awkward moments between us :) And he shared some of his problems to me too! Feel glad to share my friends' ups and downs :) Before he went home he's still concerned about me that he wanted to wait till I got into my car. Such a gentleman! *Kindly bear all these repetition I'm just overwhelmed*
So I spent my Monday with Jae, you can call her Chai Jia as well. She's one of the important person in my life. I don't know why but she calls me panda [perhaps I always sleep late and look like one] and I like to shout at her for no apparent reasons too. Hah and guess what. Both of us are Taurus babies! I was born in late April and she was born in early May. I have poor memory but if not mistaken, I think our first met was 5 years back then in both our secondary school life. Ah anyway she's one year younger than me, my band junior. I guess I get along with juniors very well because most of my close friends are my juniors *wink*
Initially she promised me to bring me out for dinner as she's now having her semester break till end of this month but in the end she has to accompany her grandma and spend some precious time with her family. Nah she ffk-ed and she said she will join me for dinner again next week. She even jot this down in her to-do list and reminder. Hahaha.
As my compensation, she bought me some cakes and Chatime and brought it over to my house. And all those are free :) Oh yay. Such a lovely girl ^^
She came to my house to sleep to charge her iPhone to watch shows from TV she does everything but talk to me -.- Pffffft. We did talked for awhile but most of the time she was on her phone or had her eyes focused on some actors. HAAAA. My mum liked her a lot anyways ahahaha and mum said she slimmed down! To me she has always been in this size, this gigantic-gorilla-mozila size. xD No la, just kidding, she's slightly more than slim but definitely not fat! Xoxo :3
Last but not least, one of my classmate from my high school tweeted me that my new DP looked nice. What say you? :)

Had my Saturday well spent with Fenny. Indeed this is also my first gathering since I came back from KL about a week ago. Came back from KL to run all the things and procedure that is needful for my application and non stop running among those banks to check about the currency rate. Can the currency rate please stop fluctuating ?! And please don't increase further.. we can die D: I mean my parents will suffer hahahaha.
After that, went to shopping mall and shop with my mother. I think there's something wrong with her.. She kept buying groceries and basic needs thingy for me to bring over.. But I am not sure if my luggage can fit (?) and of course she bought new luggage bags for me. Lol. From stationary to shampoo, frankly she got me everything before I could even think of. Well, I am a pampered and spoilt child ^^ Mom took good care of me and always be well prepared :)
Oh yeah, not to mention that my dad applied a Citibank supplementary card for me. Wheeee! According to my parents, with that card I can enter the First Class Golden Launch while waiting at the airport - internationally. Meals and beverages, basically everything is free with that card. Hahahaa oh yayyyyy thanks dad muah muah muah~ But dad just can't stop nagging me not to overspend and simply swipe that credit card. Ngek ngek~ *evil-smile* The best part is, Citibank requires me to swipe at least 3 times as activation. HAHAHA guess my dad is SHOOOO worried now :P
So, finally I went out this Saturday (yesterday) with one of my very close friend which is also my ex-senior from my secondary school band. Though we don't always find each other to chat or hang out (due to her heavy workload in her office and also my university works) we seldom talk to each other but there's always endless topics between us. We never run out of topics nor distance away from each other. Of course, our topics will always be the similar ones and she's the one who knew me a lot for my past. So we had a good chat in Chatime, drinking milk tea without pearls~ awwww O_Q I iz emuah..
Talked about the one that used to be important in my life; talked about her love life; talked about my current love life; talked about her work and her bad boss; talked about my education and etc. We just can't get enough! Heh.
*I don't understand why my eyes have to be this small every time when I smile. And she wore her shades because of her eye bags. Hahahahaha :')

最近迷上了一套戏 - 好心作怪
不懂为什么 才看了四五个 Episode 就忽然很喜欢看了.
自己的情绪也莫名地随着剧情的发展被牵动着 好像泛起的涟漪 而且久久不能平复.
之前的戏都是烂片 净播一些滥竽充数的烂片来欺骗我们白花花的银子.
虽说那些烂片都找来了不少的 电视界大人物 可是故事发展不曲折 剧情也不精彩 就怎样也不吸引人.
话说 这套戏 吸引我的地方 不单单只是有帅气 Bosco 黄宗泽主演 而更主要的原因是因为这套戏的中心思想很能引起我的注意 让我很想跟着编剧所写好的 storyline 一步一步去探索整个故事的起伏矛盾.
看这套戏 有时候真的会精神分裂 因为男主角 分饰两角 而且还是分别很大的两个角色 所以我也抽离不出来 (0.0) 话说回来 Bosco 身为这套戏的男"猪脚" 真是帅呆了~ *花痴小姑娘* :3
在这套戏里面 他-姚日山 是一位医生 却因为一次意外而身亡 心脏捐给了一个有钱人
本来在想, 该不会那么帅的男生就在第四集去世了吧? 怎知道 来了一个一模一样的孪生弟弟-姚月山 两个人的样子一模一样(拜托 他们是同一个人) 可是他们的戏里却扮演着天渊之别的性格
哥哥有着一个很甜蜜的女朋友 现在却只留下她一个人 看多少次都那么地心酸 *wipe tears*
到现在为止 每当我在看这套戏 我都会在想 难道把自己的心脏换去别人的身上以后 那个人真的会感受到我以前感受的东西吗？真的会这样？我也不知道.
这套戏其实给我最大的感触就是让我意识到
人生就是那么地无常 你永远无法想象下一刻 下一秒会发生什么事情
你不知道 这一秒你没说的话 你没答应的事 就永远再也不能完成了
我们在现实里不都是这样吗? 总要等到失去的时候才会发觉
我们总替自己找借口 找理由 总把能做的事情 推到以后才来完成
是谁告诉你 你有八十岁命? 是谁告诉你 你还有很多的岁月来蹉跎?
是谁告诉你 别人会永远停在原处陪你原地踏步? 总有一天 爱你的人会累
想爱的就赶紧去爱 想做的赶紧去做 想说的赶紧去说
最后我还有一个问题
你们会捐赠你们的器官吗？或者你们会赞同自己的亲人这么做吗？
有者说：我死后想留个全尸呗~ 别太难看
也有者说: 死后若能造福人群, 遗爱人间 何乐而不为?
这是这套戏的片尾曲
我很喜欢
尤其是 Chorus :)
那你呢?
这是这套戏的片尾曲
我很喜欢
尤其是 Chorus :)
