today is a very very bad day to start a week. firstly...went to uni and there was a power shortage to the whole town. apparently it happened the moment zyan n myself stepped out of our house...but we didnt notice and wat a wasted trip down to uni it was...the rest of the day i slacked at home resting. coz i dun feel too well also...i think its not very good... i need to exercise more soon...

the wkend in melbourne city was a fruitful and indulgent one. i need this long awaited break to meet up with friends and to take a breather from all that has been stressing me out lately. time passed really quickly but i really enjoyed every moment...hope this trip can kickstart my life back into momentum...and let me achieve the things i wanna do...

hohohoho...its another plus point for ISA today...but it seems like it made everyone more stressed...esp stacey...i know she has to shoulder such a big responsibility. Now i need to get down to my assignments too...there is one due next friday. i hope to score well in all of them and show to everyone that i can do it. i think everyone is really stressed out.... =(

the fathom of which desires of the heart is always so hard to understand. what is then the answers to the questions that are beyond my control?

A poem from a friend:

Where Dreams be told

In a world of which no boundaries hold
a world of many treasures told.

This world where a million choose to sleep
when ten million voice a cry so deep
This world where Man is all for Man
a place where He can't understand

This world which revolves round many nations
where you and I are just information.
A digit, a number, a single shell
in a world of numbness; a living hell

In This world of which no boundaries hold,
still a world of many treasures told.

A single digit is no living hell
For a single dream can cause faith to swell
And ignite the flame that will never cease
Through tempest tossed;through trials and peace

To dream the dream that's beyond the Man
for only He can comprehend
A dream that wakes a thousand nations
to fulfill their fiery transformation

In Our world where no boundaries hold,
we live the life where dreams be told,
what we could wish our world to be
is in our hearts for us to see.

Charles my old friend, this poem you wrote is meaningful to me, and i'm glad that i have read it. Cheers to you!

trying to change my layout for blog...add n revamp the whole site....

isit another laspe of concentration, or the fighting spirit to keep the things we do afloat...argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how now? what to do....i really dont know....what dreams i have what ambition it maybe for what we do in this campus is all seemingly un real ....hahaha....pessimistic...nah...i doubt it....tired of it.....most likely....but no i will push on with the rest...i will encourage the others till my last ounce of strength...i know all of us can do it...please listen to my prayers oh dear exalted ones....guide us now in times of challenges and mixed emotions.

its sunday. another wk has passed. all the assignments due dates are coming. what i did this wkend is totally fantastic....went to seaspray beach for a fun time out there. played tennis, went joggin.....all these are to get my mind off something that has been bothering me lately since i receive the news...its been a long and winding journey, this dreamy journey...i think i gotta forget what the past can hold and what the future lies.....

lately i have not been posting pictures...coz its quite tedious to select them...plus i dun have many nice ones to put for anyone to see....

personal thoughts:

angry, sad, frustrated, happy, cool and mad....all mix into one single entity.........ME.....

HURRAH!!!! Finally the land of the virtual, the land of the juiciest gossips to the boring journals....the internet...without restrictions ......haha the house is finally online and raring to go...with this new toy in the house...oh man we are so goin to rock....HURRAH!!!!

i'm dead beat...not getting enough rest lately. really got loads of stuff to catch up on. studies? ISA? Student Union? friends? family? personal life? what has gotten into my world? really i dun know...all i know despite the lack of rest, i'm enjoying every minute of it.

today is the 'try to look awake day' for me... why? coz i was at the computer lab yesterday nite, with zyan all the way from close to 1130nish til 1 plus? then we went back to watch 'Matrix' which i borrowed from sch library...had late supper...tried to finish up my president's note for the newsletter...by that time i slept it was already close to 4am...goodness n i had to wake up for class at 9am....made it thru' my seminar which lasted 2 hours...didnt know how i did that...probaby the huge dose of coffee i had before the whole house screamed out in the morning...(haha the 4 of us had class all the same time...) my eyes are wide open, but the brain is stoned and heavy, feels like carry a brick in my head?? hahaha i think i need to 'cement' the brain back together, tonight with a good amount of S.L.E.E.P...but till then i gotta stay awake till 4pm in sch (dunno how i'm goin to do that) where i have got another tutorial at that kind of forsaken timing...argh!!!! if you do read this Shelvin...don't laugh coz this time round not only ur gege look like a zombie,u see all of us looking like zombies...hahahahaha

13th March
Another day passed without a hitch��匈 had my rest and, yes it was a good time. No one bothered me and oh yes it was great. Had the chance to lie back and relax under the sun during noon time in our own backyard. Also did some reading during that time, but I think I enjoyed the sun most. No one was home with me, as my housemates, all headed down to the city. During the earlier parts of the day did some shopping with Stacey and Samantha. What a great day to relax and do nothing apart from resting and having a nice time slowing down for me.

Personal Thoughts:
As I close my eyes, I still think of you and yes another picture is painted, another world where you and I are all alone. Time halts to a standstill and everything slows down. To want something you can never have is something torturous and painful. Reality bites and another dream broken.

14th March
Woke up late, around 10am, did nothing till an hour later. Napped for another hour before heading to Lyell���s place for a ISA committee lunch gathering. Had the chance to meet up with the new executive committee additions. I would say I got to know more of them a little better. But I was disappointed that 3 of them did not turn up and missed the opportunity to bond.

15th March
Another passed without much to say about. All I know is that I���m running low on cold hard cash. I will soon be broke over here. Wonder how I can survive, but I know I can survive. I think its time to bring out the best in me. Really I wonder how ISA will be this time round. I���m a little bogged down by my family���s situation right now, but I do hope everything will turn out fine. In fact I have contemplated of returning home to see the family through this mini crisis. I really can���t concentrate with so many problems at hand. Wish that someone was here to share my burden and alleviate me from this sadness and possible depression. I do know somewhere along this life path of mine there is a silver lining, where the pastures are green and the clouds and sky in that splendid array of blue and white. Right now I will take one day at a time.

personal thoughts:
hmmmmmm....really wonder what's in store for me this semester. there seem to be alot i need to do...alot i need to work on...but i can't seem to decide wat to start with???

already friday...alot of things to be done over the wkend...laundry? homework? ISA stuff? dunno...but my whole house intends to head down to the city ....as for me...i'm still deciding...dunno whether to go anot...kinda broke liaoz....really broke til cannot survive those kind...haha

oh yes...today i don't feel like heading to classes...really feeling sick... not sick sick...but rather sick of those long hours of classes at one short...however one thing sure brightens up your day when old housemates get together....especially with puifong around haha life is so much more interesting now...hmmmm anyway will update more bout it soon gtg now tata

oh bother...its wednesday already and today we're having the elections goin on...wonder who will be willing to take up the challenge? really wonder. anyway besides that, later puifong is arriving here to visit all of us for a night...

today ISA had the garage sale...and yes it was quite a mess in the initial stage...but as soon most of us settled down...it was down to selling all the 2nd hand stuff....i did quite a bit of sale today...and manage to sell off a few big texts which were heavy...phew heavy burden off liaoz....glad that i manage to make some extra cash from the books...all thanks to a friend of mine who donated these books to me...anyway i decided to chip in some of the cash i made to my house funds...really we could do with some fresh eggs hahaha and yes what a boring day it is today...gotta go for another class at 4pm, and i'm really shagged out...goodness me...and i'm famished.

another week in sch for lessons, another time to buck up and give my self alot of excuses to skip studyin hey take a break...hahaha kinda feeling slackish...but should be fine. had a great time in melbourne city on sat. had the chance to visit my ex-housemate, Puifong, and she is looking gorgeous. hahaha really missed those times we spent together in the old house, WEST 49. miss those times we had fun cooking....and shouting and all the weird stuff we all did together, Jacqui, Zoe, Puifong and myself. hahaha

right now i am at samson's place...zyan is trying his best to finish up our day trip to melbourne city survival guide. i really appreciate his effort but dunno how to say it to him...by far if anyone is as passionate about his or her stuff, the award must really go to him. even for me i don't have that kind of passion in me, he can really inspire me. its his perfectionist character that makes things whole...but haha sometimes its also leads to procrastination?? haha maybe i think its time for us to take a deserved break. sometimes we just push ourselves too hard?? dunno but alot of times i really look up to this younger friend of mine. he is an inspiration. i think age is catching up with me already...so if zyan u actually read this article today....haha dun come looking for me ok....hehe

oh man wat a week it has been...already friday...most of my classes are fun but when u hear the work needed out from you, you get so put off by it. haha met alot of great classmates old & new ones. i think the most memorable thing out of this whole week of events and stuff would be the ones where i sit around the dinner table with my wonderful housemates, zyan, yan chyuan and yan yan...i'm sure the house will be lots of fun.
----------------------
yesterday zyan's sis, ying han or a.k.a. shelvin, came down to gippy to visit her bro and hopefully its for us too lah...hahaha just kidding...and the first intro to the life here for her was to bring her to the saloon...haha

personal thoughts:

right now life is harder for all of us, as studies gets heavier each semester, time for us becomes lesser. first time in our lives probably (4 of us in the house) are living independently from our parents and somewhere off campus where we deal with all our expenses on our own...something good yet daunting i guess. after all we have been living off the protection of our parents for most of our young lives already. i really miss my parents...not so much of my bro though...haha just kiddin... and YES if bro you read this, HAPPY BELATED 16th BIRTHDAY!!!

personal thoughts:

had a great first 2 days of sch. really met some great pple. wanna meet more people. wanna meet up with some specific pple especially. probably someone special?? nah just kidding...i love my life right now and i think its best for me to stay this way. after all i gotta promise to keep.

its already wednesday...busy with 'O' Week in uni with my main concern over ISA stuff... really there's so much hype this year, i have a funny feeling it will be better than expected and should be alot more fun. i'm really getting down to kick start something which seems so insignificant at first but now plays a very important part of our lives here. not to curse and swell....but hey my predecessors in the ISA com, u must have a great time but you guys sucked. if you guys did a great job, ISA would not be in this state. anyways i really gotta thank the team that was there to prop up ISA and all the wonderful individuals who have helped out in the many ways. anyway i hope ISA gets bigger and better.
