It's yet another MIA for 6-7 months.....many things have happen....I can say I was clueless, passive, discouraged in the first half of the year, waiting for a breakthrough and the opportunity to escape from the black hole. I devoted some time to my kendo and became so dedicated for awhile that physically I was in better shape than ever. Right now, I'm graded as 1st kyu, a grade just below black

Wow...i didn't realize I was away from blogging for so long. Anyway, I had been busy with my thesis writing for last 6 months of the previous year. Now everything is finished! It's a relieve that its all over. All the hard work is worth it. Now, I have a 3rd kyu grade in Kendo as well! More training and hard work in the coming year! A nice bonus from my last Australian University Games was that I

I know it's been such a long time since I updated... it's because i've trouble accessing blogger website. But anyway, nothing exciting has been happening except my birthday that past real quick just two weeks ago. I had a fantastic seafood dinner that includes shashimi, prawns, mussels and oysters at home with a palatable orange mousse cake from French pastry shop, La Reniasance in Circular

I was looking at an online shop and I saw this interesting way of identifying the right size for ladies underwear. Men Buying For Ladies The easiest way to determine the size for your ladyfriend is to have a look in her lingerie drawer at the sizes she is currently wearing. This may not always be possible and if the thought of being caught browsing through her lingerie drawer put you off there

Sunday was one of the lousier days of the start of the rat year. I got pickpocket!!! Curse that woman who did that to me!!!!!!!!!!!!I was walking out of Broadway Shopping Centre’s main entrance along Bay Street at around 5.15pm. I walked past Grose Street and Rebel Sport (sporting wear shop) and round a bend towards the traffic lights. At that moment, I heard someone calling out to me if I lost

On a lighter note, I've watched the Shanghai Blues starring William So, Emma Yong and Mindee Ong in the Esplanade on the 2nd day of CNY. It was my last get together with my best pal April before I leave behind the Lehs and Lahs to a country who likes to say Cheers. The musical was quite interesting with a theme of searching for your soul mate you met under the bridge during WWII, after the war.

The year of the pig has ended and the rat year begins. It will be a rat race for me to complete the high possibilty of the last year of my undergraduate years in Uni. Beyond this year, it's hard to predict how it will turn out to be. Options have to be open so that I move forward. Well, I predict more late nights scratching my head, my back hunch over the NMR machine and dealing with the ever

On 12/1/08, I had the opportunity to watch a full 4h of cantonese opera at the drama centre titled "Reincarnation of a Beauty". I've been thinking of watching cantonese operas for some time but I just couldn't find the opportunity. Luckily for me, I had the chance to watch at least one before I go back Aust. Opera might not interest young people nowadays but I think its necessary to embrace and

Today, I've eaten ice cream made in the laboratory! While I was in one of the specialized labs in the lvl 4 Chemistry building, one of the PHD students was mixing milk, cream, sugar and a dose of liquid nitrogen together to get ice cream. It was so cool!! It's taste is quite good actually. We had to hid behind the high cupboards away from the view from outside as we are not suppose to eat in the

Now that I'm approaching the end of my 3rd year, I've decided to continue on to do honours. And it's possible due to my supportive parents. I'm thankful to them. While chatting with my mum nowadays, I realized she's turning her approach from just lecturing to advising on certain issues. She's using analogies and examples to get her point across, decreasing confrontal lecturing. So I will tend to

Back after 1 week of break! I had so much fun in the Australian University Games in Gold Coast and visited Brisbane for a few days. This year I represented my uni in Kendo. We managed to defend our champion title for the third year and its a really a wonderful experience. Even though I wasn't successful to be rewarded a medal, its still a wonderful time as I've made many friends. During our

After I've visited a Stamp, Note and Coin Show in Sydney Town Hall, have been lately investing in Aust predecimal notes from 1913-1966. The notes have brillant colours and its a joy to look to at as compared to coins. I've decided to collect HK, Malaya - Straits Settlements and Singapore bank notes as well. Recently, I have aquired a UNC $10 Singapore orchid note much to my delight. Looks like

Today, I went exploring further down Paramatta Road to watch a dutch movie, Black Book, along Norton Street,Leichhardt. The whole street was full of Italian restaurants which my friends have mentioned that this place is like a mini Italy. This WWII film was very engaging and full of suspense much to my delight. Along the way, I have tried guessing who's the ultimate traitor but I was wrong. This

Today's SJ's 21st birthday!!! Happy Birthday Gal!! You are as old as me now...muahaha...After 3 hours of k box, we went to a bar at Circular Quay called Minus 5 Degrees. As the name suggests, before we go into Australia's first ice lounge, we had to put on jackets and gloves and given a brief introduction. When we are inside the sub zero environment, a professional photographer took some photos

My second semester is packed with many activites. Ive continued Kendo from my previous semester and going to put on the kendo armour. That's when the whole excitement starts! Really look forward to it!! (Even though training will be tiring.) I've joined fencing beginner classes as well. Even since I've watched the James Bond movie, I told myself that 1 day I must learn how to fence. So my chance

Yesterday, was my first time trying out contact lenses at my uni's optometrist. It was strange having to put something onto the cornea and instant vision without having to wear spectacles. Somehow I feel very exposed without my glasses......During the 4h trial with lenses, much to my amazement the lenses were pretty comfortable. So I got myself 3 months of supply of biweekly disposable contact

Today, I went for Kendo(Japanese fencing) grading and passed my 6th kyu grade! I had to borrow my club’s bogu (armour) to participate in the grading. 6th kyu graders like me had to perform a series of proper bowing, both displaying and keeping the shinai (bamboo sword) and cuts at the men, kote and do positions of the armour. As one progresses in grade, more and more complex moves and sparring is

We went for 1.5hr horse riding in the wilderness but within the boundaries of the stables for $45. But traveling time takes a long time there by train and taxi. We had to board a train from Central to Blackheath (direction towards Blue Mountains) for 2h before boarding a

Paintball 8 July 2007Last Saturday, I joined other Kendo club members for a full day of Paintball on Rouse Hill, about an hour’s drive from Central Sydney. Luckily, JH and myself managed to grab a ride from a fellow member and saved our transport money! :D We were the first to arrive and waited for an hour for the others. But the moment we went out of the car, we were back inside within 10

As of today, I had completed two examinations in my first year at uni with two more to go. Some how I felt quite powerless and helpless in the examinations as I found difficulty attempting them. For my chemistry paper, I left quite a number of blanks. Even in my poly days, I wouldn't feel so clueless before as of now. I would complete the paper no matter what. haiz.....My pharmacology paper

The prize money here is far more attractive than back home as the prize money can go up to more than 20 million after accumulation of prize money in previous weeks when there's no winner. Whereas back home, 10 million prize money is quite rare and it's only sometimes

Wednesday, 19th April 2006, I attempted a walking trail on the Prince Henry Cliff Walk with other Kendo members at the Blue Mountains. Blue Mountains is one of the main nature attractions of Sydney where the place is covered in blue vapour due to the eucalyptus oils released from the trees. The nearest train station to the Blue Mountains is Katoomba station where it’s a small town, northwest of

This week’s chem. laboratory is another horrible day. Another emotional upheaval. Horror Wednesday!! I seemed to be so stressed every time together with JH on this. Come to think about it, if JH is not together, I might even break down or drop dead. This week’s practical was about infrared spectroscopy of greenhouse gases. The instructions for the method was not very clear, and we were trying to

I had my first chemistry practical on Wednesday. And it’s the worst I had in my life. We came into the laboratory and each of us was handed a practical workbook with 5 different experiments listed inside. We were scheduled to work on an Absorption Spectrophotometry experiment this week. And luckily I had JH as my lab partner, so we can try and figure out and help each other out during the

Today, was my first day in school. I had to buy Japanese textbook and workbooks for my year long of Japanese language lessons, which I had wanted to do so long ago. I’m quite excited to learn more about Japanese because next time I can understand better the jap dramas, my ps2 games and even visiting Japan! Hee…actually I had to make a choice between French, Korean or Japanese and finally decided

Today, I have this funny thinking that I might want some clothes as birthday presents…hahaha….As I accustom to life here, I realized that clothes in Sydney are really expensive…or maybe I hadn’t discover the places to buy cheap and nice clothing. Either I find the tee material is too thin or too plain! And ex!So….birthday list…1. 1 pair of Ripple slippers2. Clothes! Especially Tees.3. Wang

And I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who care and had been to the airport to send me off to Australia. I was quite touched that so many of you make the time and effort to be at the airport. And especially thank Li Leng and Siew Hoon for the wonderful 4 leaf clover handphone accessory which I've brought out with me everyday as well as a scarf to keep me warm. I remember
