Finally Jerry comes back to life... You seem to be having so much fun over there! But the stress of college life is finally getting to your holiday-numbed brain, huh? Hahaha =P

I called my mom last night, hoping I can get some advice or direction about what I want to do, but after the conversation, I hung up the phone, feeling none the wiser. Basically, it's just "up to me", and I guess I should be thankful for that, knowing that some people are forced to do what their parents want them to do.

Hm.

Speaking of Ripley's museum reminds me of the one that I've visited twice back in Genting Highlands, KL. Twice I went, nothing changed. Waste of my money the second time. The first time, I discovered, is always a novelty, but even though it's a year later that I went back, the second time just doesn't seem so fun anymore. Aiyah, Jerry, why you don't visit? I'm sure Ripley's vary from country to country.... Haha, next time, next time, we all go together ;p

Ooh, and speaking of taking illegal pictures remind me of an incident few weeks back when I went shopping with a few friends for prom gowns. We went into this super-posh store called Intangible, which specialises in ball gown attires and stuff. I tried on this really beautiful dress, and we took a picture or two, when the lady came in and said, "I'm sorry, you'll have to delete the pictures on your camera. Our designs are copyrighted, and we don't want anyone copying it."

-_-" What was she doing, spying on us?

It happened that I had my digital camera out, so I had to delete the picture in front of her, for her satisfaction, but what she didn't know was that my other friend had taken one too, and the camera was already safely in her bag =P

Did I also mention that the dress cost a whopping $565? =D It was nice to feel glamorous for fifteen minutes, though.

There's about less than four weeks left before Term 3 ends, and the teachers are all rushing to complete the syllabus. Sigh. I'm trying not to stress.

[Tells self, "Do not stress. Do not stress."]

I'm calm.

Anyhoo~ post up a few pictures taken last week; ought to have posted up last week, too, but just got lazy. To Sherissa, Rungend and Jonathan: here are the pictures!





<--This is what happens when you're supposed to be studying, but you're bored, and you decide to play with straws. Wu-liao.












The process of making hearts out of straws --> The hands belong to Sherissa (the sensei), Jonathan and Rungend, her apprentices =P




<-- The finished products. Three straw hearts.
Were we seriously that bored?? I mean, I was taking pictures the whole way.. X_X









A close-up view. The straw hearts juxtaposed next to each other. -->




Like I said, we were obviously feeling seriously bored, when we should have been studying for a Human Bio test. Haha.

So retarded =P

*Yawn* Time for me to sleep... Zzz. (When it's still day/afternoon for you, Jerry!) Update more next time.

Lalala.


Would someone please explain kindly to me why the heck is the sidebar navigation all the way down at the bottom?

Haven't done much work, really slacking. Yesterday was the first day in this whole term so far that I finally got a real break. I didn't have any stupid seminar or any piano lessons, and I basically just wasted myself in the house. I slept in late for the first time as long as I could ever remember, and you all know what a pig I am when it comes to eating and sleeping. Now I regret 'cause I have tons of work to do. But when you've been on your toes for more than a month without any real break now, what can you do?

Sigh.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

[Heavy silence fills the air]

There's only so many things that I can say on a public blog.

Saturday, August 27, 2005

Okay, just going to quickly update before I go for youth group meeting at church later.

First off: Jerry, so fun!! Makes me also wish I had decided to go USA after all =P And yes, your period is after the apostrophe (in reference to your post). As is, 'sakai'. Sorry, I just had to answer that!

Well, today has been a quite upside-down day; see, we were supposed to be having an Economics test today, and I was a bit apprehensive, having done little revision. I had two free study periods before lunch, so I was thinking I'll just study the whole way through.
Anyway, as with the case - and ALWAYS, with Economics, this is the procedure for What Happens When You Have an Economics Test:
  • Econs students in Period 1 take their test. Too bad for them, but lucky for others...
  • Period 2. The questions have leaked. Why am I not surprised?
  • Recess. According to statistics, and judging from my personal experience, about half the Economics students know, or have an idea of, what is on the paper.
  • The situation becomes a huge game of Telephone: where one student tells another, who tells another, who tells another, who tells another...
  • Lunchtime. Basically by now, virtually everyone who are Economics students (98%, probably) know what the questions are, have looked up the answers, and are "prepared".

Except that, in today's case, what made the situation twice as bad was the fact that the test paper was based on a past paper, and the answers were online on our school website.

See, the system works this way: every student has his/her own page which you can access by typing in your User ID and password. And on your page, you can access your subject courses, whereby teachers put up solutions to tests we have done, lesson materials, etc. And occasionally, a few past year papers for the diligent few.

Those past year papers sometimes come with suggested solutions.

It doesn't take much to guess what had happened. So with a few modifications to the earlier scenario I have presented, this is what happened:

By Period 3, people were printing the answers from the computers at the library, with a few actually photocopying to resize it to a miniscule size to smuggle into the classroom.

By Period 4, the word that "The answers are online!" have spread like wildfire. The "wonders" of technology. And the student grapevine is as ripe as ever.

By lunchtime, you can see students studying the answers, memorizing...

And by Period 6, the last period of the day, which was when my Economics class is... the situation was pretty much out of hand. I mean, the Economics test has turned into one huge, giant FARCE.

And somehow, I wasn't too surprised when in between changing classes from Period 5 to 6, the word already reached our ears that "the test has been cancelled". The teachers have called our bluff. The conspiracy has been uncovered. The seemingly infallible plot had its flaws, after all. I laugh wickedly at the thought of those students who had spent, excuse me, wasted their credit on their student cards printing out, photocopying...

Haha, that's just mean of me... But I felt relieved: partly, for the extra time, which I can spend revising more, and partly, 'cause I felt guilty about knowing; although almost everyone also knew, except for the odd few. (But come on, the answers were there, the paper was right there, in front of your eyes.) As a friend, Takaaki, put it, "Why are the teachers so stupid to do this?"

So yeah, that's how my day was. Now it's been postponed to next Thursday, and I feel better. It was unfair, and it was simply getting too ridiculous. Even a few rather studious and hardworking people I know were part of the plot. It's absurd.

It's almost laughable.

On another matter, I have to agree with Jerry's last post... coming here, I realize, like him, how much we've been spoonfed and babied. I experienced a lot of "first times" upon my arrival here.. Like, learning how to navigate your way around, taking the bus, making your own decisions, buying your own stuff, and not depending on your parents/driver to chauffeur you around. Instead of asking mom, "Can I go to this or that", you're making that decision for yourself, and being mature and independent. You're on your own out there. There's no mommy or daddy to run back to. They're a million miles away, and what can they do on the phone?

I attended a University of Melbourne presentation yesterday, and the place seems really beautiful, and the credibility and achievements impressive. Applications for international students close on 31st December, and my choices have come down to basically Music, Media or Mass Communication (which I would do Journalism), or I might take Law... But I feel really confused. Oh yeah, congrats, Jerry, on finally knowing what you want to do. =)

No, I'm not going to bother you all with details about my confused state at the moment. And even now, decisions like this, ultimately it's my own, and my mom can't do anything except help and support me.

It's tough 'growing up'.

Rottnest Island. Perfect spot for fishing. Or being alone in solitude?

It seems like only yesterday that I entered St. Andrew's School for the first time and walking into Primary 1G.

Only yesterday that I visited you all in MD and wishing that I could share the day with you all.

Only yesterday that I had my final lunch with Jerry, Hui, Tiong, Juang and Jeremy at Thiam Hock.

Only yesterday that I left the airport alone on the plane, sitting beside a stranger and feeling homesick.

Only yesterday...

Sometimes I couldn't help wishing that I had stayed in Brunei instead, sharing funny moments and little things that make up one of life's many experiences that simply makes friendship worthwhile and special.

I miss home and everyone.

Must apologize for the lack of updates... Internet has been a bit wacko lately. I've been meaning to tell/complain to my homestay dad for awhile now, but just couldn't be bothered. Seems like he was trying to do something with it last night as I went out. So I'll just wait a few days more and then if things don't improve, I'll let him know that I'm having problems with the Net..

Anyway~

What to update?? Um. Today, I had an Applicable Math seminar, but I doubt anyone would be interested in knowing about Sets, Probability and Counting Techniques. After the seminar, went for dim sum with Pat, Sherissa, Erin and Jonathan. And then played two rounds of pool, where we took some pictures, but I'll probably post those up another time when I get those pictures from Jonathan. (It's amazing how many Jonathans there are... as of now, I have four Jonathans on my contacts in my phone.)

After pool, Erin suggested going for Karaoke... and that suggestion was met with a very, very enthusiastic response from all three girls.

We proceeded to sing our hearts out for the next four hours. From around 4 p.m. till 8 p.m. English songs, Chinese pop, Canto-pop, you name it. Even Thai and Hokkien songs were part of the mix - and those were the most "entertaining" of the lot.

The amount of money I've been spending for the past month or so is simply shocking!! But I won't go into details. I vow to be a miser till the end of the year.

To end the post, I'm posting up this: but before that, sorry, Pat!! But couldn't resist ;p Kachuaz also ask me too!!

Patty and Erin (under covers) last Monday night; sleepover at my place. And yes, Pat, I did take a picture of you that night after all. =D

Sorry if this post is a bit dry... but that's just how mundane my life here is. Jerry should have interesting things to tell us. Like... his orientation. Hint, hint!!!! Don't think that just simply shouting out is counted as "updating", boy!!

Came across this beautiful and enigmatic picture in the July edition of the National Geographic magazine in the school library today. My first thought was, "Wow, that is such a beautiful underground cave or something", 'cause it looked like some primitive, million-year-old cave. I was admiring the beautiful waterfall and design of the rocks.

Imagine my surprise when I read the caption:


"Pietersite
Photograph by Bill Atkinson

You can almost hear the roar as a waterfall tumbles over craggy boulders, one of countless imagined landscapes discovered in a polished slice of pietersite."

Isn't it amazing? This is merely an intense, close-up view of a small slab of rock. It's amazing. Read more about Bill Atkinson's Discovery in Stone here.

Jerry seems to have disappeared off the face of earth - probably enjoying himself too much and too happily in Kentucky, whereas the rest of us have to STUDY. (Do you even know the meaning of "study" and "school" anymore, Wong Sia How? =P)

Yesterday had a Chemistry seminar in the morning... Sat morning!! *sob* Supposed to be a day when I can sleep in, but nooo, we just simply must have a Chemistry revision class with Mr. Beveridge who didn't bully people so badly this time, but still has the weirdest sense of humour and in the end annoyed the mild Jonathan Chng (a friend at Murdoch) with his "very irritating voice!!"

Went with a few friends to the city after seminar where we had dim sum... That was super syiok. I realize how long it's been since I've tasted chicken feet and all the usual dishes... The waiters and waitresses had the idea that we could speak Cantonese and proceeded to speak to us in Cantonese, when our group consisted of the Pale One (who is Cantonese, but can't form a legible sentence for the life of her), Sherissa, who is pure Hokkien in and out, Yasuko, who hails from Kobe, Japan, and Jill from Singapore, who knows only English and Mandarin.

We randomly walked around the city after eating and basically bummed around till about almost 7 p.m. when we all went our separate ways. Sherissa and I were taking the same bus back so when we reached the Murdoch suburb...

That's when Sherissa and I both realized that she missed her last bus home when we reached Murdoch Park 'n' Ride. By a mere 7 min. What's more, it was an extremely windy and cold night (and I mean really windy. I was almost blown off my feet a few times.)

To cut a long story short, we had an impromptu sleepover at my place, with Patricia "sneaking" out of her house at 11 p.m. plus to join us after Sherissa and I called her. And we basically laughed and irritated each other (well, Pat and Sherissa anyway) for the remainder of the night.

Three laptops - like having conference of the PCs or something. And yes, this is my room.

A cockroach and a patty cake.

For more information and pictures, go over toe Sherissa's site here.

And to leave you with a final picture:

My neighbourhood. Johanson Promenade, Murdoch. Don't you love the blue sky? =P

And Jerry: how come I can't access the blog settings??

The Housemate

*Names have been changed to 'protect' the privacy of the offenders and to save the author from malicious threats by the offenders. Just in case.

The date was 3rd August 2005. The time was about late 9 p.m.-ish. I came back home late that day from the university library. I planned to shower and then probably do a bit more work, but as I will soon find out...

Step through the door to our (the housemates' and my) rooms. Bathroom door is free. I breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, must quickly rush before any of them uses it. One of the downfalls of sharing a bathroom...

In my room. Rest for awhile, and then gathered my stuff - was about to go when I heard the taps squeak and the flow of water through the pipes. My heart slowly sank. This is not good.

Stepped outside and checked. Bathroom door shut. Okay, never mind, I thought. Can wait. No worries.

And so I went back to the comfort of my room.

And waited.

Minutes ticked by. I did some random things around my room, and switched on my laptop. Surfed around for awhile. Hummed to myself. Listen to music. Lalala.

Half an hour passed. Stepped outside again and checked. My patience is beginning to run down. I was sticky and tired, and I was still in my school uniform. (Ugh, typing this down brings back the bad memories of that day. My annoyance is back.)

Decided to do refill my water bottle. Already 10 plus p.m. now. Before I go to the kitchen, I stopped outside the bathroom door for awhile. Funny. No water running. Instead, I could hear her voice muttering in a low tone to someone. Suddenly a funny sound caught my ears. Snip, snip, snip. Snip, snip, snip.

Hm. Okay, she's cutting her hair, I presume. Trimming. Whatever.

And then I heard the ugly voice of that guy answering her. And my heart sank even more. I suddenly had a bad feeling that it was going to be a veeeery loooong night.

Kitchen. Waited for water to boil. Lalala... Then I heard the bathroom door opening. Good! Then I saw her come out and take the vacuum cleaner from the living room. I thought that she was done with whatever she was doing in the stupid toilet and probably wanted to vacuum her room. Yep, at 11.45 p.m.

Filled up my one-litre water bottle. (Yes, I'm still carrying around a huge water bottle here. It's the water tank, except it's reincarnated in a different look.) Went back to room and the bathroom door was still locked. I thought that the other half was probably in there. Wah-lau. Got your own house still don't want to go back there?? Sleep over anyhow you like. ANNOYING.

Chatted with Ern for awhile on-line. Ranted to him, and I told him that surely if he was here, he'll probably say some biting comment to them. And I told him that I sorely felt like doing that right now. Just knock on the door and lecture them or something.

I heard the door opened suddenly. I quickly ran to check.

The sight that greeted my eyes was this:

The vacuum cleaner sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor, looking all innocent for times to come.

Hair everywhere, on the counter, in the sink, on the floor.

Whaaaaattt??!!!

Increasingly frustrated now. Went back to room. Complaining to Ern about the inconsideration of the she-person and her fat companion. More than an hour has passed by!! It was close to midnight. I have waited for a bloody two hours.

I told Ern that she was cutting something in there, her hair, probably. And Ern, being Ern, thought "things". To quote him: "what if she snipping the hair "down there" ;p" (Yeah, that is sick, I know.)

After typing a few more replies to Ern, I went to check again. And was greeted by the sight of the half-naked boyfriend.

Wahhhh-lauuu...
I have never felt so irritated. In a very measured and even tone, with a pinch of tiredness and a bowl of annoyance, I told him:

"Are you done with the toilet yet? I need to take a bath."

He looked a bit flustered and apologetically said, "Oh, ok, sorry, sorry. We'll be done soon, just need to clear up some things."

Okay, no problem. Soon, you said? I can still wait. Yup, I'm very patient. Been patient for too long for my own good.

I was majorly annoyed, but nevertheless I continued waiting.

Meanwhile, Ern convinces me to tell them off and just do something to hurry them up.

Ern: Ask them what they were doing inside. Ask them! I really wanna know!

Me: So weird to confront like that lah - I hardly talk to them anyway. I say, "they", even though the guy doesn't live here but pretend that he does.

Ern: Well, out of curiosity mahhh... I mean, you do have the right, you know.

Me: Hm... you have a point there. What have I got to lose, right?

Ern: Hahaha, exactly!! Go, go, go, ask them!

Me: It's so unlike me!!

Ern: Go now and come back and tell me! And if you think they are lying, you give them the eyebrow thing. And then you ask them again and say, "Are you sure??"

Me: Hahaha... asking "are you sure?" a second time is a bit too much, don't you think...

Ern: Haha, nooo... if you give them the raised eyebrow with like a kinda smirk on your face... and ask "are you sure" then it seems like you're just being fun. But then if she starts giggling or like looking guilty then you know they were doing something nasty :P

Me: -_-"

Anyway~ the idea appealed to me, and I thought that I should really stand up for my rights for once. And so I left Ern and was actually looking forward to giving them a piece of my mind.

The door was still locked, and annoyed, I knocked on the door and said in a very irritated tone, "Are you done yet?? It's already past midnight, and I'm still in my uniform, I have waited for more than two hours, and I need to sleep!"

The door opened a few minutes later and they were greeted by the sight of a very haggard and murderous-looking me. I glanced at them and said clippedly, "So what were you guys doing, huh?"

I WISH.

LOL. Sorry to disappoint you all, but noooo, I didn't get my chance to tell them off. What happened was, just as I wanted to go and give them a good talking to, she knocked on my door and said, "Done. You can use the toilet now."

Wah-lau eh.
My luck always hit me like this. Disgruntled at a lost chance (I actually blame it partly on having to drag out the online conversation with Ern), I just looked at her and said, "Okay."

Just like that.

And proceeded to use the bathroom.

All those years spent you people really paid off. Enduring your endless teasings and being the targets of most of your jokes, I know the true meaning of patience. Especially from having to put up with a certain someone named Ern.

In all due course, of course, I simply must give some credit to Ern for bringing out the "violent" side of me =P, even though I didn't have the chance to bring her out. But don't worry. I've put up with their antics for too long now. Next time...

Three more months to go in this drab place I don't call home.

Must be patient.

*Inhale*
*Exhale*

After reading Jerry's post, how can I beat that?! And I resent those "tree" jokes. And yes, here is where I roll my eyes.

I'm sorry that my life is not as exciting and glamorous as Jerry's is, so I'll just have to bore you all with what I'm up to nowadays.

Exams are in less than 90 days' time; basically the homework and schoolwork is piling up and I'm just struggling to catch up with everything.

I don't even know why I'm taking half the subjects I'm doing now: I think I might seriously consider studying music after all, regardless of what Zakhir has tried to brainwash my mind with: "You can't make money, Connie!", etc. (Everything he said to try to dissuade me contained the word "money" in it. That's Zakhir for you.) And yes, I can feel Jerry's frustration at not being able to strangle me because I came here instead. =P See, being at the other end of the world saves me from dying at his hands. Lol.

I don't think many people know this (but I told Juang, I think): I'll be doing my diploma in music this year. It's going to be scary. It costed me a hefty sum of AUD$305, and I pray that it won't clash with my exams. I have no idea when or where it's going to be yet. I have not written my programme notes. I will have two examiners. (Two!!) And I have to present four pieces, each from each musical period. Doubt you guys will be interested in wanting to know, so I won't list down each song. But bottom line is, if I fail, I'll be seeing two years' "effort" fly away... and not to mention, that $305... =(

What a depressing post. It's to bring you all back to the gloom and doom of reality after reading Jerry's light-hearted post. Lol.

Anyway~ on a lighter note, I went for my school drama production this year last Saturday. I have to say, I've never been more impressed. The drama was Joseph Kesselring's Arsenic and Old Lace. It's basically a black comedy about two old ladies who kill old men, a deranged nephew who's also a murderer, on the run with his German female accomplice, and a sane nephew (brother of murderer) who tries to survive through the night, and another brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. Very entertaining. The acting was really professional - this is better than the last JIS production that I saw (Carousel) - sorry, Ern! =P Seriously, I wouldn't have expected such a good level of acting from mere high school + middle school students.

I don't think I can write anymore - can't beat Jerry's super-long post, hahaha. But oh yeah, I remember I have a story about my housemates - or rather, about one of them - to tell. I was really annoyed that night, but anyway - I know that Ern is still waiting to find out what happened. Sorry, Ern, you have to wait again!

The Housemate - coming soon!

Well, since Jerry's not going to be blogging for awhile, I might as well tell the wonderful story of the extraordinarily and, if I might add, ridiculously long URL.

The Beginning of a Blog

Once upon an ordinary day in this madcap world, a bored young man who constantly spouts out nonsense to the people around him decided to share his latest eccentric idea with his very pale friend. The conversation went something like this:

Nonsense Guy: Hey, Pale One, Fei suggested that we start a blog. What do you think?
Pale One : Yeah, sure, why not? (Really, it's more because she knows that Nonsense Guy knows that she can't say "no", and if she says no, Nonsense will probably pester her. =P)

So began a brainstorming session of an URL, which, I should add, took place over a period of almost 5 days.

Nonsense Guy: You choose the name la... my vocab not good... Anything la... Make it comical la... it's just a URL anyway :P

(Yes, the excessive use of "la's" is quite annoying, isn't it?)

And because Pale One is the nice person she is ^_^, she rattles off a list of suggestions. Lame ones, though, if I might say.

Pale One: Alright, alright... I'll give you a few, and YOU choose.
How about twocelerysticks or thebroomsticks (because we're both stick-thin =P).
Or an URL with 'rabbits' in it? =/ we're both born in year of rabbit mah... like... wackobunnies or crazyrabbits. rabbityrabbits. rowdyrabbitsoverseas. Ok, that sounds really lame. Ah, I really no idea leh. Aren't you the guy with all the nonsense? We're both overseas... so maybe a name to do with that? And like u said, it's just an URL. =D And you want it comical - well, you're the best person to ask when it comes to nonsense, so YOU come up with something.

Thus, Nonsense decided on the brilliant idea of -

Nonsense Guy: I'll just combine yours... Ok, i choose nuttyceleryrabbitsticksfudge. Hahaha... Weird and simple :p

Yes, Jerry. It's very simple. Weird and simple, all right.

Wah-lau, such a loooong blog name -_-" I can't believe you were serious about it.

And yes, I'm here, Jerry. Haven't checked my email inbox for a few days now, sorry lah!!

So random... no idea what to "blog" now... can't believe I'm what the Internet world calls a "blogger" now. Thank you, Wong Sia How. Now I'm going to spend, no, "waste" more time online.

Update more next time. Jerry, you update more first!!! Like, what is the time difference exactly?? And what is your phone number, for goodness' sake?? And what course have you decided on??

=D
