Freedom

Today marks the second day i'm done with my exams. fast isn't it? yup. now i have a nothing to do with my life. LOL! i've never felt so.. ermm.. bored.

its that time of the year again...

Its the time of the year again.. and no. Its not Christmas... its not my birthday.. its just that.. its the time of the year again where its gonna be exams.. again. Fourth year in uni. who would have thought.. and no i'm not doing my honours.. i'm just.. well, waiting for exams for law school.

I'm here right now. here. and well. happy too. surprising isn't it? me? happy with uni. its been such a long time..

hmmmm

Its been a long time since last update. Law school has been treating me well but i'm easily tired nowadays. most probably due to the type of readings i have. its different isnt it? the type of english i have to deal. I've forgotten what it felt like.

dont get me wrong. i'm enjoying this so far... but sometimes you just wonder. turning 26 this year and still in uni. shouldn't i be traveling the world and working on climbing that career ladder? i've always dreamt of myself to be more, to do more. am i greedy? selfish? never seem to be satisfied with myself. i'm not a disappointment. i know that. but sometimes i just wish i'm not taking this long.

A month have pased.

A month have passed since I'M OFFICIALLY A LAW STUDENT!!! Wahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!, 2012 have been good after all!

Q2.Who is your role model? Why?

"While there are great women in the world, my mom will always be that great woman in my world; for the kind-hearted, understanding, wise and strong woman that she is."

The ending of my scholarship application essay.

New year, new day

Is it really? New year, new day? so what are my thoughts this coming new year? tons, really. Couple that with a heighten frustration with regard to service. Service. Yes, the service that a university cater to international students. Its driving me crazy. I've been waiting and waiting and I have half a mind to tell myself to just forget about it. Maybe its really not happening for me.

I was looking at other things though... I really want to have an overseas experience rite.. so i was looking through the visa, immigration and citizenship department. Trolling through their website and catching a glimpse of everything that I could think off. Skilled Migration Visa. Its a five year visa that could act as PR. Will allow me to study, work and live here.

But do i really want to postpone the degree? I'm not really sure anymore. I really need time to myself. Without anyone constantly asking me about it.


Might sound odd to you. Especially when I'm living here on my own with nothing to bother me about, pretty much... anything. But I need a break. So just grant me a break and quit asking me about that law degree application, coz at the moment I don't really wanna think about it. I've thought about it enough. more than enough. And i've scared myself more than necessary.

Of reflections and New Years.

Its 2012. wow. time passed by that fast and I am still where I am..

Not fretting... I'm just hoping I could stay here much longer! Praying really hard for that! yup yup!

2011 have been filled with smiles and tears here's to those who have been there for me throughout 2011. My mom who has been my pillar of support when I feel like giving up. Mel for putting up with my tears, tantrums, random nonsensical moments and still making me smile despite me getting on his nerves sometimes. Not forgetting Deena who's been there for me despite the distance.


Hoping 2012 will begin with a positive note. =) *bites nails*

I was blog hopping the other day and I came across a really old entry from Diary of a reformed Elitist.. but this really struck me.

Here, have a read! Diary of A Reformed Elitist

It carved a smile on my face... especially when I remembered the Personal Statement I recently submitted.

This is my personal statement.

"Fortunately for me I have always known what I wanted in life. However, I've never had enough confidence to seize an opportunity. Being an only child, it is definitely an odd personality trait in comparison to most only child, I tend to have a trail of "what ifs" residing within me. My mom has been the 1 person in my life that I look up to and admire. My parents divorced when I was 11. Being a single parent in an Asian country, I saw how difficult things were for her even though she never showed it to me. But I was not blind to the brave front and the snide remarks of our Asian counterparts that she had to put up with. That was when I realized she is living for me and I started being afraid of disappointments and rejections. Perfectionists me emerge in my daily life, it definitely greatly contributed in my career and curricular activities that I was involved in as I did not want to make a mistake especially one that would cause me any unnecessary financial burdens. I have always wanted to be a lawyer and wanted to apply for law school fresh out of high school but was stopped by mom. I was too young she said. I never understood why, nevertheless I still listened to her and took the paralegal route by completing my Diploma. I was exposed into the legal industry, learnt how different working life was, gained valuable life experiences and fell even more hopelessly in love with the profession. I rose quickly as a paralegal for being independent, self motivated and being able to work under time pressure. As a fencer, I was dedicated to winning as I compete privately domestically and internationally. As a theatre practitioner, I was precise with regard to every light, every word, every scene, every movement and every sound. I was obsessed with being the best to make up for things I lack in.

Few years passed and I decided that it was time for me to take the next step: university degree. I applied for law degree in various Australian universities and received a counter-offer instead: Bachelor of Arts with the choice of transferring into the law degree with the required grades. My first academic rejection. However, I accepted it hoping that I will be able to do the law degree in my 2nd year of uni. Unfortunately, due to administrative issues, I missed that opportunity. Not once in my life have I ever thought that I will be doing the majors I did in uni: International Relations and Politics. I was never interested in World Affairs or Politics and it was a wonderland of mysteries and adventures for me as I lost myself in a world that I was never familiar with and honestly, sometimes hated. It broadened my perspective and renewed my angle on global issues and people that I was either never aware off or simply did not care about. I stayed on for the full 3years to complete the degree that I thought I will never do in my life but undeniably have a soft spot for it now.

While Aristotle believed that "Law is the reason free from passion", I, on the other hand, beg to differ. My lecturer once told me "Ignorantia Non Excusat", a legal lingo she drilled into me when I was a law student completing my Diploma. Ignorance is not an excuse. It was then that I realized why my mom thought I was too young for the law degree back then. She wanted me to be more aware of the world we are living in, to understand the people in various environments and to respect them regardless. She also wanted me to have the confidence to be able to stand up for myself and make a change. Even though I was greatly upset back then but right now I am deeply grateful to my mom for making me wait as I finally understood the gravity of each action. This is because by being a lawyer, I will change and touch lives, mine as well as those around me. So here I am, at 25, a graduate of Bachelor of Arts - International Relations and Politics putting aside my fear of rejection and what ifs to apply for the law program in your university as a step closer to achieving my dreams."

Reading it, I can't help thinking... Was I unconsciously harbouring the typical upper class Singaporean mindset? Was I the outcome of a certain social class? 

Putting it aside, i'm really hoping that 2012 is gonna surprise me with good news! =)

Quarter of a Century

I've hit a Quarter Century officially! And its been a week since i've been 25.

Turning 25 was the same as turning 21, 22, 23, 24, or even turning 1. No difference... at all. The only difference is that your friends tend to rub it in and your relatives tend to ask you when are you gonna get married... Yeah, I know. Lame.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
FINALLY CONTINUING MY BLOG ENTRY.. as you can see.. its not just a week since i've been 25. I've been 25 coming to 2 months now! dammit!

Turning 25 on 25th was fun. LOL! well not fun as in there was a grand ball all set up for me. but fun coz where i'm living right now, my housemates, bimz especially was so eager to celebrate it! She woke me up so early in the morning wishing me happy birthday both on paper and in text. HAHA! it was sweet. I kinda suspected it was all bimz idea coz of the presents. Coz the previous birthday in the house, she bought DVDs too and she got me DVDs as well. Not that I'm complaining. I mean everyone else will think what the hell?? i got DVDs for presents? LOL! but DVDs here do not come cheap. But well, i've never actually received DVDs from my friends before... so this is definitely a first. Mel just stared and laughed when I showed him my presents the following day. I also got this chocolate round thing and the coral coloured roses that you see  in the picture below! so pretty rite?!

But at the same time i was also rushing to complete my essays so i was only home in time for dinner. Initially, I wanted to have dinner with mel, but we cancelled it since he wanted to have it during the weekends with just the both of us... SO i came home with Bimz trailing after me telling me that i have a huge bouquet delivered. I was like.. what huge bouquet? Bimz: "I found it sitting outside the door. I suppose it was delivered and no one was home. Its in the kitchen. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN ANYTHING ELSE ON THE COUNTER!!"


So, I rushed into the  kitchen (with inspector Bimz trailing behind me of course) and saw that! A delivery from my mom!!! =) so so happy!! and its so pretty and colourful!! SO. Once again, thanks mom!!!

The next present is from Mel. He gave me a week before my birthday coz he knew i was so swamped with assignments and this was his exact words "I know you have tons of assignments due and your present have arrived so I thought I should just give it to you so that you no longer have to drag around your laptop and break your back" hurhur. How sweet rite? rite?!?!

Truthfully, this was the surprise of the year. I never thought I would get the ASUS transformer Eee pad. There were 2 things about this that i was extremely surprise with. 1. The present itself. 2. The gifter. I was screaming so loud in his room!! i was so excited and happy and delighted and omg. no words could describe it. You guys should have seen his expression when he first asked me to guess and I asked excitedly if it was a Kindle. HAHAHAHHA! He looked as if he wanted to smack me.

But seriously. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU! FOR THE LENGTHS THAT YOU WENT THROUGH TO PLAN TO GET ME THIS! I LOVE IT!! I PROMISE TO TAKE CARE OF IT REALLY REALLY WELL!!

The next present came from my cousin. The one in Malaysia? Yes. That one!!! I was back for 5 days to be exact for her wedding and I passed her her wedding/birthday present. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you the honeymoon i promised 3yrs ago. I was working then.. and now i'm a student. *pouts*

Anyways, I got the Diana Mini F+ from her for my birthday!!!! HURHURHURHURHR!!! You guys know how long i've wanted this rite? Yeah well... I FINALLY GOT IT! OMG! MAD HAPPY!!! hahahahhaa.. it wasn't exactly a huge surprise since i pointed it out to her.. but judging from the price tag in Malaysia, I didn't think that I would get it. So when i left with her sisters for Sushi King, she went in search of my birthday present with her husband! So once again, THANK YOU WAI! Should i thank Kunyit too? hehehe.

And Finally my last present from my mom! *drumrolls!!!* I came back to Singapore on Sunday/Monday after the wedding and was flying back to Adelaide Tuesday. I didn't think that I was gonna get anything from my mom and I was also just looking around for a phone since ALL OF YOU already know the condition of my phone then. So I was looking for either the Motorola Droid Razr or the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime. The latter of which hasn't been released in Singapore. I was damn angry tho. I mean I wanted the Nexus Prime so badly somemore. And then, I was playing with the Droid Razr. I didn't think that I will get it. I mean I didn't want my mom to buy for me especially not at that price. I just stared at it and I stared at her and when she told me to get it, I was conflicted. I just told her its ok la some other time can buy.

She told me that it shall be my birthday present since she hasn't gotten me anything for my birthday though.. I nearly burst into tears out of guilt at the handphone shop. My mom has done so many things for me the past few years and she has practically given me everything I wanted and she spent so much in November for the wedding and all and my flight ticket for me to come back and my dresses. I really didn't wanna ask for anything more. But she got me the new Motorola Droid Razr anyways! despite my protest! 

Maybe I didn't protest that much... *ponders* I don't know. But I was in dire need of a phone then.

And you know what. I LOVE THE RAZR. lol. Its my second Razr! the first one was my flip phone and the second one is the NEW IMPROVED MOTOROLA DROID RAZR!! hahahahah!! Happy happy!

How pretty is that thing?!?!? SLIM AND SHINY!! 

And you know what, Turning 25 isn't bad at all! =)

I'll blog about my cousin's wedding soon! I'm gonna go eat now! bye peeps!

Warm Fuzzy Feeling

There's a warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing that your friends of yesteryears still read your blog even though we've never spoken online much anymore. Come to think of it, I've never actually met up with them whenever I'm back during the hols.

In other news one of my friends from Singapore is here in Flinders as well... and he's currently attached to his classmate. Its funny really. How everyone seemed to be able to get attached so easily and then here I am as single as ever. Can't seem to latch myself on someone... *shrugs* oh wells. On a brighter side, I don't have to deal with immature behaviour and petty arguments which, well, i truly do not have the patience for! LOL

I'm at Cibo again. Drinking coffee will thinking about my Public Policy Presentation. Doing on the South Australia Tourism Commission. I'm thinking if I do well in this particular critical analysis can I apply to the Tourism Commission for a job and get it even though i'm not Australian? Tsk. Sometimes, being an international  student pisses me off. Especially when as an outsider you see how the locals deal with everything. You see how the locals are not taking the full advantage of the benefits that the government is providing for its citizens. Its such a protectionist country that I as an outsider envy the insiders and yet I wish how the government could extend a hand of opportunity to a foreigner like me into certain government organizations and have some benefits the way other developed countries are providing for their foreigners.

I'm constantly wanting a better life. Chasing after something. I know what I want in life. I know what I need to get what I want. But the thing about me is that i'm impatient. I've always been impatient. Therefore I'm really impatient and totally hating this reroute. How is that? Everyone says there's always something good that will come out of this. But i'm constantly thinking what have I done wrong in life to deserve this? Maybe I should have been a little more appreciative of my life. Haiz.

In other news, the dress maker is coming tmr. At 1145am. hurhur. I better be awake!!

And also my driving instructor is pissing me off.

October Rain

Its Monday. The second Monday of October. I' in the city for Uni but the thing is now i'm in the city and there is no class today. WIN.

But the good thing that came out of today is that i managed to spend the morning catching up with Sar-Bear. Sometimes you don't realise the changes within yourself till you look around and see how you react with the situation that has been laid out in front of you. Sometimes you don't realise you've start caring for someone till you feel how hurt they are when they break down in front of you and you feel like hugging them till their tears subside. Sometimes, you don't realise the deepening bond of friendship you've created until you sit in a car and you're trying to comfort the other while she pours her heart out to you in the car on a buzzing Monday traffic.

And then it hit you. You're starting to care for these individuals. These individuals who were once strangers are now your friends. Then I smile thinking how rare it is for me to get one here. A friend. =)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Things to do today:

1. Head to spotlight since i'm already in the city.
2. head down to uni and leave a note for my lecturer under his door
3. Work on my SATC presentation
4. Annoy mel.

Back in the Library.

I'm back.

In that favourite place in the library. The cave.

I should be starting on my Public Policy Assignment by now but i'm still trying to finish the American Studies one!!! Omg. Truthfully, the last lap is always the hardest they say. Especially when you don't exactly enjoy whatever it is you're doing. hrmph. oh god.

I constantly wanna do something after to keep my mind off things but its never successful no matter how hard i tried. Its like there's always someone who's not willing to do it with me. And half the time i'm that picky i usually ask the same person over and over again. hmmmm

For the first time in weeks i've crashed sleep yesterday and still sleepy. goodness. I woke up or rather jumped up today at 2pm!!!! 2PM!!!!!! and i'm sleepy tired now.. downing my ultra bitter mocha is seriously not feeling much... REALLY!

There's so many things i wanna do, its also about a month till i'm heading back to singapore for the wedding.

1. Meet my dressmaker once she's back from the hols to pass the other set of cloth.
2. my hair. Seriously i wanna keep it long than what i have at the moment but i'm not really sure if i have the patience for the weight. I kind like my hair right now.. its actually behaving really well.. i most prob just have to rebond my fringe.. sekali who knows, i end up curling it. HURHUR
3. My face is STILL peeling in this spring weather. driving me crazy. it makes me look like a snake. I HATE IT!
4. I'm turning a quarter century old in exactly 20days. omg i hate this. I dont mind growing old. But I hate growing old with nothing to put my name too. really. I feel so bleargh. its like i'm underachieving.
5. to call my driving instructor for a lesson.

Of Blogs and Updates

I think my blog looks ugly now. Really! I have mixed feelings about the banner i've put up. but I'm kinda liking the new blog interface. Its simple and bright! I love it! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesekali ku lihat kembali kenangan lama dan ku tertanya tanya... apakah salah ku? Setiap kali aku rasa ringan bagaikan burung berterbangan tinggi; bersuka ria ada saja yang akan menamatkan keriangan itu. Kekadang ku rasa seperti orang luar melihat kedalam kehidupan ku sendiri. Kawan. Apakah makna sebenar Kawan? sentiasa tersisir, diketepikan, dimasukkan ke dalam kotak yang tiada pintu kelar. adakah ia suatu cara untuk menjaga hati? -.- terima kasih sahajalah ye. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chad still checks up on me from time to time. I guess i'm somewhat appreciative of that? hmmm *shrugs* R still hasn't left me alone in my dismay. Instead, he has turned stalkerish. Greg ended before anything could start. HAHA! Maybe it was my fault but wth la really... no one should piss me off that badly. Dammit. I sound like a player.. but.. i'm not.. really not. I'm just really not interested in people that much and I lose interest in people too easily.. especially if they don't try to keep me interested and petty arguments just pisses me off. I know I've never said or talked about any guys here before on my blog especially not since 3years ago. But there have been a few people who has walked in and out, sometimes 6 during the same time period. HAHA! oh wells. i'm really not taking them seriously. I have so many things to bother about. So I suppose the problem really do lie with me? I just don't exactly care about most or any of them. -.-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Term break's ending. Uni's starting next week. hurmmpphh... 

Cats eat Birds. That's just the way it is.

Reached home to a Sar-Bear screeching in happiness.

Today's the footy finals. Geelong Vs Collingwood. My roomies are all Cats fans of course! I, on the other hand, do not watch footy. I just can't seem to grasp the game!! And to think I was on a touch team once before... -.- Shame on me! third year in Australia and I have yet to catch a whole footy game!

Joined them in the living room just to bask in the atmosphere. Reminded me of home. Of that comfortable time with my cousins and the cats as we watch our favourite teams battle it out on the field. Or that one memory at the casino watching the World Cup and I didn't realised I got so caught up in the game that i actually cursed out loud and scolded the australian team. Thankfully, i'm a girl. Do you know what could happen in a place where you're the only one that doesn't support the aussie team and outrightly scolds them about it? LOL! Mel just stared at me in horror when i just started cursing and swearing at that point of time and looking around the room apologetically at the other patrons. *.*

Saz's partner is here. Mac. Apparently, they're going on well together now. LOL! Who would have thought hey? The paranoia in the beginnings and all. lol! she calls him "the other half" as she was telling me about the pending arrival.

As i sat myself on the lazy couch, with sar-bear warning me that it could get violent coz its the last quarter of the match and my reply was "seems that I reached home at the right time!!!" Ahhh was I just in time to be kept amusingly entertained for the last 45mins or so. LOL! As Mac's face changes into a pout and a sulk with Sar-Bear screeching in happiness and singing the Geelong anthem! LOL! the only male in this house and apparently the only one not supporting Geelong. I swear he has no idea what he's gotten himself into as he openly supports the other team. LOL! He obviously took it out on Sar-Bear, messing her hair and smacking her with the dish towel as beer spilled over the carpet by the time it was official that the cats have won! I just peeled over in laughter! Best scenario i've seen in a long long while! LOL!

Geelong Cats Vs Collingwood Magpies. Of coz the cats will win. Its fate. Its destiny. That's just the way the food chain works. LOL!

Of Coffee and frustrations..

Been out the whole night yesterday. Not the best decision ever since I really wanted to finish my essay but hey when a friend needs your company you can't really say no can you? I mean you wouldn't want someone to say no to you when you really in need of some company? I'm sure not.

Sheesha-ed our problems away. Sitting at Sheesha Lounge sometimes it feels like a family reunion as all the middle eastern fellas and ladies stare at you in recognition. LOL! And after awhile you're allowed to use the staff toilet and they keep your bag with the family's belongings is just epic. I couldn't stop giggling to myself.. but hey hey. LOL!

So here I am sitting at Gloria Jeans on Hindley St on a springy saturday afternoon in adelaide with my laptop and typing out the finishing touches to my essay which should be ending soon. At least I hope it will. Sipping away on my favourite White Chocolate Mocha, its just making my Saturday even more heavenly even though in reality i'm actually lacking in sleep and staring at my assignment. But somehow, i'm not complaining. I'm not even having a care in the world. I'm calm. I suppose the outing yesterday was what I needed. I needed to stay away too. Destress of some sort I suppose. Didn't realised that I needed it. hmmm oh wells. 

People watching is also a way to de-stress. I love it. So the inner city girl that i've been trying to hide over and over again speaks out.. =)

Of Paper cuts and Notes

I'm in the library again but the problem now is that, I'm so tired and sleepy and all i wanna do is sleep! I'm currently working on my Africa on a Global Stage Supplementary Essay. Its frustrating. The fact that I have to slave my holidays away trying to pass last semester's exams! Argh. But then again, I really dont have anyone to blame do i?

The topic i'm doing for my supplementary essay is Representations and Key Issues of Africa. I may be an International Relations and Politics Major, but truthfully, sometimes i wished that there were more policy and economy based subjects coz I am really not interested in this kinda thing. Is this wrong? Haiz. I HATE MY DEGREE. That's all I can say. There. I've said it. How the hell did I manage to reach the final year of this BA? Haiz.

Its about 2hours till library closes and I'm only half way through my essay. I still have aother 1500 words that I will need to vomit out and to make matters worst, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to submit American Studies essay coz I was sick the other time. Haiz. HAIZ.

I AM SO TIRED CAN OR NOT? TIRED OF DOING THINGS I DON'T LIKE!! WHY CAN'T THINGS JUST BE EASY AND ADMIT ME IN THAT LAW DEGREE ALREADY? I STILL DON'T SEE THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS DELAYING JOURNEY! dammit.

Just some things over the internet...

Things like these act as a reminder for me. Sometimes it brings laughter and sometimes you just stare at these post-its and turn quiet. It reminds you of the confidence you have that is sometimes wavering, it also reminds you of the person you are as it reflects snippets of your life...

Facebook used to have these post-its thing. I used to enjoy them so much. I ever blogged before just using them post-its and one was a dedication to someone special. he got it. he liked it. =) But now, we always have tumblr. =)

Colours And Cuts

Colours and cuts...

I've been shopping online these past few weeks and the sites that i've looked through are not exclusively american sites.

ever heard of yes style? Yup! http://www.yesstyle.com

If you ever wanted to look like your favourite korean drama actresses and would love for your boyfriend to look like Joo Ji Hoon from the hit drama series, Princess Hours? Then go ahead and shop there... LOL!

Personally, i love the colours of the male polo tees or shirts... Its rare to find mens clothings that are of a different spectrum of colours instead of the normal and routined earth and basic tones...

Even though many of you would find the clothes a little feminine looking for it to be donned on guys but hey, look at Korea. The actors wear all that and actually look really good. Most probably you will need the body to pull of certain clothes. But then again, it applies to everything, not just this.

So, go ahead and check it out!

You're Business Savvy

You're  Business Savvy

You have got a fresh, positive attitude to life that means you are naturally drawn to anything that is modern and original. Your cool sense of style and sharp mind allow you to maintain that perfect blend of work and play, which means you are generally a fun person to be around. You have got a wonderfully childlike spirit. You see the beauty in the simplest of things. Happiness is not something to save for the future, it's about living in the moment.

You're not one to let a challenge pass you by and your thirst to close the next big deal is what makes you tick. You're straightforward, self-disciplined, thoughtful and hard working. Once established in a post, you are very difficult to unseat. You're not just an idea-oriented individual, but also an achiever. Rarely do you get ahead through advantage or nepotism, as you are more likely to come out of nowhere with unusual talents and take the field by storm. When called upon in a time of crisis, you often come up with highly creative and practical solutions, winning the appreciation of your superiors. Above all, you're very realistic about the positions you hold and shrewd enough to guarantee survival in the job market.

ENJOY!

I'm trying to be consistent.

I'm trying to be consistent considering this is my final lap of being an international relations and politics student. But somehow, there's always so many things that i wanna worry about. How is that possible?!

So I decide, maybe i should start blogging more regularly again. I don't know why i kinda stop blogging, sort off. Is it coz i do not have the time or is it coz i have nothing to write about. And i have no answer to that.

I mean come on, I'm an international student here in Adelaide, South Australia. How is that nothing to blog about? seriously? Life overseas have always been different. Will always be different. SO yeah.

I'm gonna try blogging again. hurhur. More diligently if i might dare add.

I'm gonna be late for my American Studies class... So I better put on some decent clothes, brush my hair, dab some face moisturiser, line my eyes, pack my bag and run out of here!

toodles.
