The best way to avoid regrets is to face problems

Everyday is a new day..today I finish at 3pm.hmm sounds early.Anyway,I thought I had badminton today,unfortunately it was canceled.How disappointing.

Always thinking ahead,
Trying so hard...,
To outrun time,
I just found out it's just...

IMPOSSIBLE.

Nowadays, I always sleep late... yet have to wake up early.Everyday I drag myself out of bed.Walk to school without any spirit at all,and then depending on the classes whether they are interesting or boring I adjust.If it's interesting,I'll stay awake, if not I will just wonder away.

I just had my applicable maths test today.I wonder what marks I would get.

One more thing,my accomodation is no more peaceful.People from the next house have got their things stolen.It's not just a couple of dollars...it's.. too much from valuables to identifications.A friend of mine..came to visit us .. chat and when he went to the carpark his car window was smashed.Luckily the car was still there...and they had not taken anything.

In the girls unit,they got trouble..all because, they love cats.It is not that they didn't know that animals are not allowed in Vickery House.It is just the urge to own a pet.Well rules are to be broken anyways.My unit on the other hand got trouble cause our unit became a resthouse for other students from the college.We, the residents had no problem about that but when the manager of the place knew about it , he came and gave a lecture.Luckily I went home late for lunch so I only heard half of it.

So.. today I found out my shoutoutbox was not blocked.Hah..I feel so relieved.

I'm going out for a dinner tonight.There is no special reason..it's normal to dine out when we have problems in food right?

Well well.it's going to be big.Later on,my housemates would be going to play football at Curtin's field.Yup.. they have to travel all the way there cause we do not have a field in Canning.So you say it's inconvenient?Not really.. cause it is just a few minutes walk to Curtin from here.

They told me they won yesterday.Well today...I don't know.. they might win again.hahah.I'll probably go and watch or stay home and play warcraft...or maybe study?=D.

I've been wondering,and thinking.Almost when I have nothing to do,I'll just think.I will think but I'll never make myself to do work,as in school work or study.Yesterday, I shared with my housemates to get a router.Yeah... so you can imagine.. how bored we were before.Anyway,we hooked up on the network yesterday and played warcraft 3 since it was the only game available that could be played on Lan.

It's fun.. especially when there is nothing better to do at night.Currently that is.. because it's just the beggining of school.Well I've just applied for a phone line but it will still take some time for me to get that connection.My accomodation has lousy service ...very inefficient!Especially if I mention about the common room where I have to get permission from the residential assistants to get in.It's so inconvenient.

Now the library have found out about my site.Duh~ it's being monitored cause I always visit my site.I can still come to my site but I think they have blocked all the shoutoutbox.So I can't participate in any of the sites linked to me as well as my own.I'll wait till I have internet connection.

School today is same as usual.I had a long break today in between though.It helped a lot!.Still I feel sleepy at the end.Tired!

Yeap..I'm back online again.That's only because the library is not open or available during the weekend.Anyway,on Saturday night,Pei Ren,Melvin,Jac,Beverly,Zhang Xiang and I went for dinner.It was to celebrate the chinese new year.And we were smart enough not to book a place in the restaurant.When we arrived,we had to wait half an hour or so for seats.It is not because the food is nice or not... but because there is a lion dance which is due to perform there .So we only got our seat after the lion dance.

It is weird overseas to see chinese restaurants filled with locals(Australians).I noticed this bit because our table were the only asians.The lion dance was slow..There is also no firecrackers to spice up the atmosphere.The beat and tune of the drums here are completely different from those back home...how disappointing.haih..that's better than nothing.Six of us paid 20 dollars each.Well... that costs exactly 120 dOllars.The next thing I notice was,there's a separate menu for dessert.It was so nice.... and sweeT.

Jac went home first.Later on, we walked Pei Ren back to his homestay.The road was... dark.Imagine him walking alone.haha.After that,Melvin,Beverly and I went to stay overnight at Zhang Xiang's house."Other" house.So his parents not there to bother us.All we did was watch anime and read manga.And just by doing all those,we lasted till 3am in the morning.The next day we walked like zombies.

It's Monday again today.I've said Monday's the worse haven't I?Damn.It's still hot over here.If facts were not facts,and if people tell me by the word of mouth,I will not believe that it's going to be so cold during winter.Reason is..I've never experienced it.

I had a dull Chinese New Year.Can't blame anyone about that.Had nothing here.. only had food.Here we lack of firecrackers which is usually the main thing that interests me.Yesterday was particularly boring.That's because I kept thinking of what it would be like back home and the picture of that is more lifely.This year I miss out on visiting and so on.All I will have would be dinners and dinners and dinners.No fun.Will get sick of it soon.

I ate pizza last night.Later me and Melvin went over to the girls unit tojoin in a steamboat.It was Very nice of them to give us leftovers.hmf..they invited us late.Well must be thankful anyways for the food.

Monday is the worst day of the week.I have.. too many subjects on that day.Actually not too many.It's just that.. I have all my subjects on that day.So when comparing with other days.. it's the worst.So say ... what did I do during my free time.Well i just walk around vickery house... and well it's very cold at night.Air conditioning just beats it by an inch.. thats all.At night the temperature could be 18.But in the morning it's different.It could go all the way up to 40.It's like a desert.Dry and all that.I'm so lazy ..hehe... I actually go to laundry every two weeks here.

Also.. the population of canning's students in vickery house is so little..and not balanced.There's 3 houses allocated for us because we only have that many people.24 to be precise.Out of the 3 houses.. two are girls units and only one is guys.Oh well..that makes life easier cause I can always go and get some food nExT door.eheh.I have a housemate from Kuching High.And his name is Alphonsus.He is a damn funny guy.Our unit would be the loudest at night always cause my other friend has a surround sound system and with the "Alphonsus" jokes... we are undoubtly the loudest.

Of course I'm still the old me.=p
