murdoch's open day~~

helping the jap society.. so those of us with yukata went in it.. chinatsu helped me with the wearing of it.. haha.. it's not as easy as it seems.. hahaha..

we did like sumo championship.. sensei went to buy sumo costumes from the net.. it's so cute~~ it has a big protruding belly button... hahah.. and some little girls wear them as well..

sho is the worst person at origami.. and the worst at calligraphy as well.. hahaha.. u noe how origami n calligraphy sounds boring to us?? apprently, the ang mohs love it... our stall seems to be the busiest.. hahaha.

it's quite cool though.. they've got bands.. cool music.. boost.. woodfire pizza.. and as helpers.. we get a 10 bucks lunch voucher.. =D

sensei treated us to dinner after that.. at some chinese restaurant... it's food plus a box of beer, white wine and red wine.. hahaha.. in australia.. there's no party or gathering w/o alcohol.. hahaha...

we went to KTV after that.. it has tons of mandarin songs.. like jay chou.. but we were all singing jap songs.. hahaha.. they haf alex du's "tuo1 diao4" in japanese... tt's so cool.. we were all dancing in there... n sensei was just staring us in horror... hahaha... sho and nigel did "a whole new world" with sho singing the girl's part.... hahaha.. it was so horrible.. and tetsu is real good at rapping.. in jap!! i guess it is as amazing as the jap listens to us rap to jay chou.. hahaha..

発表します。お兄さんは結婚することになったんだ。子供もできたんだ。嬉しいかどうかわからないけど、結婚式に出たいです。いっぱい泣いて、目が腫れてしまったんだ。最悪だ。私って保守すぎるかな？でも、四月の赤ちゃんになれば、うれしいなー

It's such a shocking event that i had to get it off my system. w/o letting the whole world knows. i guess u guys will eventually hear abt it.

yay~~~ my visa problem worked out~~!!

in the end that program chair is just useless.. she basically went 'i have no problems with u doing this but pls go to the international office to deal with ur visa.' that whole conversation ended in 5 min.........

but the lady at the international office is better... =D she gave advices on what to do.. how to do it.. and she says it's not a big problem.. and i've made a great plan... muahahah.

my mum's auditor is suppose to come to perth today on a holiday..... and being very nice of her.. she suggested to help us bring some stuffs over... and wad we really need is a FRYING PAN.. hahaha.. cuz our non-stick pan is turning into stick pan... i really duno what time she's coming.. and i'm suppose to go buy groceries! we r seriously running out of food........

i still hate driving.. i cant park~~~~~~ i have to think for a long time~~~~ =(

i'm craving for 'Everyday Sunday' (jap food) and Cold Rock (ice cream)!!!!!!!! but they r all so far i can't go on my own.. =(

went to watch Mamma Mia movie after sch with my cousin and her friends.. it's a gd show!!!!! although sadly one of the male lead CANT SING.. we bursted out in laughter when he started singing.. he's better off as james bond... hahahaha..

my japan studies seem to be more difficult to come thru than i hope it would be... went to talk to my jap lecturer.. he said it's totally fine with them.. however i have visa problems... not sure if i cant study part-time with a student visa.. so i have to go meet the program chair of tourism on friday.. =(

abt the sch i may going.. hmm.. my teacher suggest me to go mukougawa women's university.. firstly they reserved 5 scholarships to murdoch uni.. which covers my sch fees.. i'll get 80000 yen per mth (~SGD$1040) but after paying for the hostel and 2 meals provided everyday.. my pocket money per mth is abt S$260 per mth.. which is not bad... and since it's a women's university.. my chances are higher..

but!!! as all my friends r guys. it will mean i'm going there alone!!!! =( lower chances to get bf!!! hahahaha..

but!!! it's in a rather nice place.. in between oosaka and kobe (beef!!).. things around tt area are cheaper.. and i've nv been there before..

but!!! i may pick up kansai ben.. hahahaha.. which is like japanese dialect.. like hokkien to singaporeans..usually used in comedy cuz it somehow makes it sounds funny.. tt's how bad it is.. haha..

i may be going for the summer camp at tt sch next yr.. so will check it out and decide then..

well. don't even know if i can do it or not.. =( stupid visa.

and i have to get a scholarship.. not going to spend a single cent of my parents to satisfy my own wants.. but.. it'll mean i haf to do well for ALL of my other subjects as well as japanese.. a credit is only the border.. muz try for distinction.. *gasp*! so going to die man...

pls pray for me. hopefully it will all work out tml.

oh i cant believe it. it's been too long since i've work tgt with ppl i've just known for a day.. it was so...... argh. hahaha.

have u ever met ppl who just talk a lot and make it seems like they r doing a lot but actually they are not?????? well, 2 of my group mates are... the good thing is that we finished the report today.. after 4 hours in the library.. the bad thing is.. i believe more than half of it is my work.. i think i type i edited all the weird things they add in..

they duno what the example (WHICH THEY WROTE IN ON THEIR OWN) is about.. totally got it wrong.. and by the end of the whole report when i assign which part they have to present.. one of them actually told me she dun understand that part at all!!!!!

FAINT!!!!!

anyway.. they r nice ppl.. just that i have to work more.. and they r rich~~ i notice all the branded goods around them... it's normal to have branded goods i guess.. but to bring all of them to sch is a little........ i noticed only the asians does tt.. it's attracting robbers seriously...

anyway.. i survived the drive last night!!!!! it was a little horrible cause my cousins made me did an alley parking.. tiny place with lots of cars.. *yikes*! sunday will be my driving day... haha.. i like them for being like my siblings teaching me to do all sorts of things.. =)

much as i hate to start with a sad note, i have to get this off my chest before i start crying. it sounds stupid to be doing this though.

well, i suddenly have tons of stuffs dumped onto me and i just couldnt stand it, alone. my management tutor forces me to change into another tut group, which is fine usually, but i wanted to work with my fren in the group project and it seems impossible now. it's hard to find somebody compatabile enuff to work with. i know tt becuz i'm having problems with my marketing group project. i'll have to do another accounting group project, from a tut group where nobody looks friendly enough.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really felt like crying everytime i open my notes. i dun even want to look at them now. which makes me totally lost in class. my threshold for stress is getting lower. i cant take it cuz there's no one else(physically) to talk to abt it. my cousins r all like 'we had it 200 hundred times worst than u do, wad r u complaining abt?' which i cant rebut. the rest of the ppl i noe in sch r not close enuff that i feel safe to open everything up to them.

so here i am. talking to a monitor.

i believe ppl in singapore r not having it easy as well. but i just miss everyone. when i can just call up someone, chat for an hour and feel better.

well, as a total change of topic. we went to Araluen park today as a day trip.. it's abt an hour drive away from our hse and it's a tulip park~~ not in full bloom though, sadly. but it's still beautiful.. and the park is huuuuuuge~~

we went to look at a house first, on the way there. cousin's gf is thinking of buying a house.. so we went to have a look at it as well.. then we went to kfc for lunch.. cuz subway was closed~~ sobs.

we took lots of pictures there.. walk around.. nice weather.. gd air.. pretty flowers.. kids running around.. ppl having picnic.. and we had ice cream after tt.. at 430pm.. that's y we are not having dinner today.. hahaha..



we are going to drive to north bridge for bubbletea later though.. well, i'm driving.. cuz i got the australia license already.. hopefully everybody will still be alive tml!!!!!!!!!! i'm seriously freaking out now.. it's just adding to my stress.

i think i just made another friend ytd. on the train. it's a guy again. it's from jap class again. sigh. i'm pathetic. haha. there's a few new ppl in our class.. all r guys. and this guy.. i believe his name is ted or sth along tt line.. i duno cuz whenever ppl talk abt his name they say it in japanese pronounciation.. which always sounds weird.

anyway, i dun understand why we have to speak in japanese all the way outside of class.. but we managed to chat on.. with a little bit of english. lol.

i'm reali interesting in befriending shouta. who's a pure jap but lived in perth since he's 1yr old. i'm interested becuz i suspect he's working in 'Everyday Sunday' where i LOVE~~ their japanese food.. and befriending him seems like i can get some free good food. hahahaha. but nah. haven even spoke to him yet.

i'm totally lost in accounting!! maybe cuz i didnt manage to go to the lectures nor read the text. so much catching up to dooooo~~ =(

i have a marketing presentation in 2 wks time! i seriously duno how can i contribute to the group man.. maybe i shld spend the next hour going thru all the library books.

my cousin (a yr younger than i am, living in america) is going to college (it means university in usa) as well! apparently she's doing international studies majoring in history. something that will never EVER cross my mind.. hahaha. and she's thinking of taking up korean. which is cool! she did spanish before by the way.. i love how schs in western countries allows u to take up foreign languges in 11th grade.. their lessons r way~~ more interesting than our sciences n humanities. i think they have astrology/astronomy as well..

just did a human personality test during management class this wk.. i'm a total left brainer. well, i guess most singaporeans are.. considering the kind of education we r brought up in..

i kind of figured out what to do with the rest of my studies.. just waiting for my teacher's response to see if it's feasible.. i'm going to study part time in my 2nd year.. then i'll go to japan for overseas studies for 1 yr and then come back to perth for the rest of my modules as part timer as well.. tt way i'm going to clear my required elective points by the japan studies(24 points! that's like 6 3rd year modules!!) and i dun have to study useless, boring and troublesome modules just to make up the points.

i'll have to work hard for scholarships though. thinking which uni to go to.. my visa.. and lots of other complicated problems.. but i think this is the best way to get what i want and what my PARENTS want..

during my trip to japan.. i met a tour guide.. whom i think her job is pretty gd.. she's like a freelance tour guide.. she brings the tour group from singapore to japan.. she doesnt have to do the explanation of places.. it's done by another tour guide in japan.. she's just responsible for making sure everybody got their stuffs.. meet at the right place.. all the troublesome procedures.. and make sure the tourists do not have to use their brain.. i'm sure it's not easy as it seems.. but i didnt noe tour guide can NOT do any guiding of the place at all.. hahaha.. cool. maybe i can try that for a few years. hoho.

we had a sch fair or sth ytd.. where we have jumping castle (inflatable 'house' where kids like to bounce in).. kendo ppl.. DJ.. hotdog ppl.. JOKER (from batman).. shops and some weirdly dressed ppl all in the middle of bush court (a plot of land with grass in the middle of the main building where ppl love to sit,eat,slp there)

i duno what's happening.. most of the clubs r out attracting ppl to join them.. like the singapore society.. lol. and sho was grabbing me jumping up and down saying 'let's go to the jumping castle and fight!! come on!' which i stared in disbelief, picturing 2 university students doing that. i managed to escape from doing that.. leaving him pouting.. but who cares. hahaha.

i better go do my project. sobs.

今日ちょっと嬉しかった。久々に姉ちゃんと話しました。（＾－＾）V

recently into yogurt!! they r my new diet.. hahaha.. bought half a dozen for my lunch the following wk.. =D

i might be going to Albany by mini plane! my cousin's fren is able to fly one.. so she n her frens decided to go on a day trip to albany. i'm still thinking abt it.. it sounds cool.. sounds fun.. but i noe none of her frens.. i went out once with them.. they totally ignored me... n went on with their own stuffs.. so i felt like.. extra?

actually i have zero idea of wad i wrote ytd nite. but doesnt matter. i'm probably the only one reading it. =D

i met 2 singaporeans in my accounting class today! actually, one of them looks like a booch.. so they may be les couple.. or gd frens.. whichever is the case.. i dun mind.. but i have no idea how to strike a conversation.. and neither do they.. so we ended up looking for our classroom in silence.. weird atmosphere.

the classroom is situated at this dark creepy place.. with only the EXIT sign lights..at the end of the hallway.. although the classroom says REF3.006 on my timetable.. it isnt on the 3rd level.. and REF is not an abbreviation of any of the sch buildings. i tried searching for it on the murdoch map and it doesnt show.. i then found out that REF stands for refectory building.. which is the cafeteria building.. which is not named as the refectory building because it's also the faculty of social science and physcology building.. which is STRANGE and even the teacher got lost. hahaha.

just when i thgt the weather is turning better for good.. i was totally cheated by the sun! regretted being so brave this morning.. dressing in only a thin long sleeves top with a camisole (no idea how to spell it) and a scarf.. long pants and canvas shoes.. but the sun isnt warming me up any tiny bit! instead, i'm breathing mist.. that's y i'm here.. in the midst of my warm library. hoho.

hate cold weathers.. makes me hungry easily = makes me fat easily. =( but i still insist on eating minimal!! till the day i faint on the road. muahah!

apparently accroding to my driving instructor.. i do NOT have to take a test to convert my license!!!!!!! not sure if tt's true or not.. have to wait till my mum sends my singapore license over before i can go to the licensing centre to ask.. i'm praying.. PRAYING!!!!

sachi says i can go borrow jap novels from her office.. yay~ something to keep me occupied.. haha. cuz i'm so bored that i have to resort to reading the jap grammar DICTIONARY. lol. it may sounds crazy.. but it's actually fun reading it..

for eg. under "Conversational Strategies" i quote "in order to become proficient in advanced japanese conversation it is necessary to be able to use converstional strategies. they include (A) Aizuchi which are like 'back channel' responses. eg. wow, really? is that so? (B) Fillers, (C) Rephrasing, (D) Topic Shift or Topic Recovery and (E) Avoidance of Decisive Expressions, among others"

it makes me wonder how japanese actually go around making a point. they have to beat around as many bushes as they can.. lol.

hmm. it's japanese day.. had workshop with the jap students.. mami-chan came! although she's not a murdoch student.. she's half taiwanese so her mandarin is gd.. we had lunch with sachiyo sensei after class.. well.. basically i was just nipping off their pasta salads.. haha.. i think the only moment i felt truly relaxed/happy/enjoyable is with ppl or things concerning jap.. haha.

i'm starting to think what shld i do after i grad!! actually.. what do i wan to grad as! i actually thgt tourism is a pain when i AM a tourism student.. save me. i'm so dead.

i actually thgt of doing sth in japan.. study.. and if i like it there i may work there.. but i cant ditch my family. haha. actually just my mum. or maybe my maid as well (she's like a family member to me!) the gd thing is i have no bf to worry abt. but what do i want to study there? what do i want to do there???!!! and i cant just stop whatever i'm studying over here. troubled.

and i have nobody to talk to!!!!! honestly, i'm just talking to myself here pretending to be talking to ppl. sigh. i just hate this feeling.

oh i seriously duno what's wrong with me. halfway thru the tourism lect ytd.. i felt like crying.. haha.. i'm not sure isit due to the incredibly boring lect (from the same lecturer whom i managed to endure last sem) or the amt of work i have to do (ie. go on a overnight trip at least 40km away from ur home and do 3 freaking long assignments of it on ur own) for an elective module.. or maybe it's just homesickness?

strangely, Sho was in the same module as well.. so is Mari.. but mari ran off b4 i could catch her.. and sho came to me.. complaining how boring it was.. so we (tgt with emma) went to the library.. discontinued the module.. and chose another one. principles of marketing. which the tutorial starts straight after this.

what went over me? i duno..

(currently there's a bunch of hongkong/singaporeans making tons of noise in the LIBRARY)

ytd dinner went.. kind of well.. except that the minced meat tasted a LITTLE too peppery.. haha.. it's actually the 1st time i'm doing the whole cooking thing on my own.. from thinking what to cook.. to judging how much pepper i shld add.. hahahah.. the broccoli turned out sweet n nice though. =D

i switched shift with my cousin.. so i'm supposed to cook today.. but none of them is coming home for dinner.. so i guess.. i shall survive on yougurt and fruits.. =)

me and my cousin started talking abt uncle heng.. our swimming instructor.. who teached the whole generation of us.. (all the rest of my cousins n my bro as well).. hmm.. he can be described as the hulk. hahaha.. well.. a funny and evil hulk. i rmb how funny he was during lessons.. that even me, somebody who super freaked out when water gets splashed on the face, managed to go all the way to life-saver course.

when i was young, my lessons ended earlier than my cousins. so while waiting for them.. he would put my hands on his shoulders and drag me around while he walked in the pool.. so i'm like this object floating behind him.. holding tight to my dear life. once in a while he will start swimming w/o notice and i will lose contact with his smooth skin.. panic!!! but he'll come n save me in the end..

there's tons of evil parts of him as well.. like if u get in his way while he's walking out of the pool.. he'll pick u up (yes, he's super muscular) and slam u into the pool.. once, i managed to climb out of the pool after a tiring 40 rounds.. abt to make my way back.. he grabbed me from behind and i practically FLEW back into the pool.. well. there was shock.. but it's the embarrassement i couldnt deal with.. when u get up n find tt the whole pool staring at u..

and of course, abs training during life saving.. lying on the floor with only the butt as the contact point with the floor.. for 30 secs.. any noise, or ppl touching the floor he'll starting counting from 1 again.. ZZZ. i was only 10 then~ sobs.

but now.. he stopped teaching.. old.. abilities to see and hear are starting to leave him.. hmm.. i thgt if i am ever to let my child learn swimming.. how nice would it be if it's from somebody like him.. hahah.

it finally reached the stage where i'm breathing mist. hahahha. COLD!

duno why.. there r lots of little kids in sch these few days... it's either they r so brilliant tt they r here at such a young age.. or their parents left them running around the banks and reading online comics.. either way.. it's weird.. and they r asian kids.. ok. they r speaking cantonese.

i'm wearing 2 and a half layers (a no sleeves vest inside) and i'm only feeling comfortable in a HEATED room...........

and i duno y am i here in sch when it's supposed to be my off day!!!! grrr. y did they shift the lect~~~~~~~~~ i'm grumpy.

i seriously dun want to learn driving AGAIN. but i have to. going to call tt guy today.. sigh.

my cousin just ask me to change cooking shift with her. means i'm going to cook tml as well.. ARGHHHHHH.

i want a new phone. =( my phone is fainting off on it's own.. but non of the phones i saw caught my eyes except the ones sold in jap. sobs.

ok. i'm done ranting.

=)

1st day back at sch. ZZZZZZ.

i actually THOUGHT that i've planned a gd timetable where i get tue n thurs free.. but NOOOOOOO.. jap came up with a non-compulsory workshop on thurs.. well the teacher said 'non-compulsory' while looking at me and said that it's best if we attend.. apparently the students from japan will be coming.. and that stupid tourism module is holding 2 lectures on a same day!!!! how dumb can tt be when the 2 lectures are only 1h apart. now i'll have to go if not i'll be missing both lectures. HATE IT.

there's 2 new students in jap class today.. a pure jap who came to perth when he's 1 year old.. and a pretty australian.. i think almost half of the original class failed.. so it was just the few miserable us.. sho got a new pair of shoes which is so cute!! it has tiny robot prints all over it. tt's probably the only moment i was awake in class. we started lesson already.. with hmwk and everything.. and a test on next mon.

hmm. i guess i'm homesick in terms of.. i dun enjoy my life here? hmm. tt sounds bad. more like.. no close frens? there's nobody whom i can tell whatever i'm thinking over here.. including my cousins.. not tt we are not close.. but we do not haf the same mindset on a lot of stuffs.. and we end up unable to understand how each other feels.

tml it's my turn to cook. sigh. cant think of a vege dish to go with my tofu dish..

i think i may end up skipping both lectures on tue in future. =)

if there's no jap stuffs to download over here.. i may just stop studying here n fly back.. haha.
