Hmm... it's been more than 2 weeks since I last posted.What the heck..I'm all occupied..It's all orientation for 1 week and I have to move 8 luggages into my small room.Vickery house it is... unit 31.That's where I'm staying now... .This place is no good.Nothing to do with the other things... it is just the lack of 1 necesity...my broadband or cable connection.Vickery house only allows..56 k modem.Hmf...well have to do with it.I'll only be getting it on February.Now Im at my friends house.Ahh sure is sad though.No choice too...just getting used to Perth right now.Damn... I walked hell lot.More than in Kuching!Everywhere I go .. have to walk at least 10x2 minutes cause the time coming back is also counted.And it is even worse when going to buy own food,vege and meat coming back home.Oh well...1 more year.And I nice housemates.It's sad actually... all my housemates are from Malaysia.Except 1 from sudan which I have not seen.Temporarily,I have a housemate from Hong Kong too.Nice=).Although I can only laugh and smile at his canton cause I cant speak it.Luckily,all can speak english.Thats a +++++.=)

Today I went to look at a car.It's called Rexton.Damn it..my father is buying it! and I can't drive it cause I'm going to Perth tomorow.I can just imagine and drool.hahah.. I went with my father to test drive it just now.I'm starting to like it!hmf I guess I can only drive it when I come back during the holidays .Trust me..I'll stick a P on that car once I come back.=D

!!! I still have lots to pack.I still don't know what I need to bring.And whats worse now is,I don't know what is in my luggage of 6 bags.I feel like I'm moving the whole house.

I went to star just now.Went to watch aviator.Til now I still don't really get the movie but.. I think it is about someone who has his own visions and ambitions.Well our group was huge.About 20 people.

After the movie,our next destination is hartz.Here's the problem.Transport problem...one car to fit 12 people.Amazing.. broke our previous record.Anyway that was because it was raining.If not we could have just walked all the way down to Sarawak Plaza.

Well it's Tzy Wen's and Tzy Shih's birthday today.. and we did had a great time.After dinner , we walked back to star.We went to the arcade... and (duh~)had fun.haha.Soon after that it was time to go home.Pei Ren and Kin chern left... then Ashraff and Indra.. .It was raining, to walk back under the rain to get to Tzy Wen's car would be quite a job.Luckily my father drove his van to pick me up... so I could give my friends a lift back to the carpark.Then I headed home.

Oh and not to forget.I got my license today.My instructor sent it to me.When he came there was someone in the car.Someone I thought I didn't know until he told me that that person is my friend.So she came out and said "hi.I'm Jane." and got back in the car again.If she did not say hi I would not know cause I have no idea how she looks like.So can I consider myself lucky putting my picture on the web?

It has been raining for days now.Am I supposed to be happy?Usually I like rain as it whips up a nice atmosphere for sleep.Some people prefer to cuddle in bed,reading a book.But raining everyday...is a different issue.It makes the world around you a lot more gloomy and your day shorter.Rain adds a lot to limitations.

Imagine looking at a globe.It is as if you have the whole world in your hands.Yes,it is artificial,fake,scaled down.. but,it still has a considerable effect on phsycological terms.The feeling that you are in control.Something like that.Puts you up to par with Bruce Allmighty.hahah.
______________________________________________________________________

Today,I had a rather busy day.Maybe that's because I woke up late.As soon as I woke up, I had to recieve the people that sends the washing machine.That's a tough job for blur me.=p.Had to sign some stuffs...but luckily my father was there and he did it so I actually did nothing.I just watched.

Later on...after lunch ,I went to Tabuan Jaya to get my spectacles..new ones.. since my degree increase like ten folds.hahaha.Kidding..actually this time I got one that doesn't reflect light..which means more suitable for photo taking.After that went to my grandmother's house.Slept ...actually until all my siblings came back from school.I got a haircut too..
because my parents say that the cost would be almost triple in Australia.

People say that things can't get too tough.Well it can be both ways in different circumstances.Today I had a tough day.Busy actually.I started of morning with breakfast,bought a coat and checking my eyesight.And my degree went up!.oh well...can't change it or they checked it wrong.

After that I went to star, met up with a friend and went for a drink.And for some noodles.I couldn't take it!it's too spicy.. hahah and not only that, I've eaten lunch already before that.So that greedy friend ate mine too.hahah.Later on we went to the shops..that I've never seen before.. probably cause I wasn't very observant.Then I walked to times bookstore and had a look at the books.Was very reluctant to spend my money so I just went there to read.If I had a super memory I would memorise all the books available in their armoury of books.haha.

I got my parents to pick me at Tun Jugah.. after I decided that that would make it easier for my parents.Then we went to Lee Kong electronics to buy a washing machine because ours is spoilt.My mother took a long time choosing but .. I wouldn't blame her cause it is a big investment.

After that I got home,ate dinner and slept for a while before I go to star again.To catch the "movie" at 9pm.Well we missed it again cause the only seats available would be from row A and B.Which means if we watched it, we would come out with stiff necks...so we decided to abandon it and went to bings instead.It's full!..we got the last 8 seats.My friends went to En Thien's house.. while I decided to go home because of transport complications.So here I am typing this.Tired..!even after an ice blended mocha...sigh.

First I'd like to mention about how I couldn't sleep last night despite the fact that I actually went to bed before 10pm.Because of that, I woke up having a headache.Of course there is a reason for all this nonsense.I did my driving test today.. the practical.. and I passed.phew... wasn't confident at climbing the hill at all.Probably it is because I'm not so consistent with my brakes.Anyway its over and I'm glad.

Wait... not yet.. as I still do not have my license.Well at least an obstacle over, now I just have to wait.Today I saw a friend.I didn't know he went to 7th mile to learn..I thought everyone I went to Bintawa.I guess he was doing the test too.And the JPJ that came and monitored my driving was so not friendly and so fierce.But who cares,I couldn't see his face.He adjust the seat so far back to monitor my driving while I on the other hand have to go front a bit in order to step on the clutch,accelerator and brakes.

Phrase of the day."Hoi put on your signals la.1 more time you don't put I fail you."Think I got afraid because of that?Actually it relieved me because that means that as long as I put my signals on the next turning he wouldn't fail me.Ok.. so I passed.. what now,I've only about 6 days and 7 hours 2 minutes before I go Perth.So sad.. I can't even practice it.

So... these few days,I've been wondering what the whole world is doing.I've been doing nothing except surviving boredom.

Yes, a new year have started, many have gone to school and while they are at it,I'll probably still be in bed.Some though will be doing work for the society, such as making sure that all aid arrives at their destination and given to victims not other people.I'm saying this because the generousity of the international comunity might have spurred evil people to come up with a scheme.Which is to ask for aid for the tsunami disaster victims and keep it all for themselves.

So.. in terms of aid.. who are the main donors now?Australia,Japan,United States and Britain.The list goes on with China and the rest.But where are the aid from muslim nations.I remember that during the September 11th tragedy in US,some arab country offered aid to the US although I doubt the US needed it anyway.But what I'm trying to say is what happened to all the "oil money".After all Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population.

Don't know what is happening now.All the muslim's are in one organization while the United States and muslim countries have often shouted and bitten at each other.This is weird.. weird heh.. politics is back.Since there is no exact numbers on the population of the Indonesia..it's weird no one question the numbers of the people dead.Lets say,I'm a Indonesian officer or minister and I play with the numbers.Look at the benefits I get!! "The rich countries will cancel all my debt and I'll get extra free money."

How's that? You'll never know.

I was lost.Very lost.I woke up this morning..and found out that everyone has gone.They either went to work or to school.The only other person besides me was my father.He was still in bed.After a while, he noticed he was late too so he quickly got ready and we went for breakfast.

What I ate today... I chose to ate kolo mee.I'll try to eat different type of food everyday... because I fear missing the food.Haha.After eating , my father sent me back home and I was alone again.So I just slept and slept till now....not.Actually I was stuck on two boxes.One was tv and the other was my notebook.

Time passed by real slow.I went online,...so little people were on.So..I just downloaded some more songs..since it was just a couple of clicks..(even a baby can do that).Soon after that it was lunch.This time I ate Bak kut teh.Then I went to sleep.Really I must get use to this.

Today..actually yesterday,I've got a huge plus to my devices.My father got me a wireless printer.I tried fixing it yesterday and installing the software..so now it's ready for use.hehe.The only downside is it is quite huge..but that doesn't matter since I won't be carrying it around.The good thing is,it can print on a disc.=) I have not tried it yet but it sounds like a new function for me.My old printer lags far behind this one.

Anyway..I see a smaller world again.hm I guess that's how people will feel when they are lonely.Luckily,sleep is a very good medicine and it works.It kills time..although too much sleep is unhealthy.

From tomorow onwards,I'll be counting.10 more days to Perth!Excited? or sad.Don't know ... some people say that I'll be homesick for sure.Ahh.. only time will tell.Time sees everything.

Today,I went to sent Adrian off.But, before that, I went to Tzy Wen's house.When I arrived,he just woke up.hehe.. nothing to be surprised about cause the 31st was new year's eve.

Anyway,we arrived at the airport early.We tried to send him off as fast as possible.(Get rid) haha jk.Unfortunately ,his flight was delayed until 7.30pm.That's not too good.After saying farewell,we left for Tun Jugah and had dinner there.After that we were supposed to watch a movie ..called the aviator but we didn't make it.We really didn't make it.It was full and the next show would be late!.

Since our plans have gone down the drain,we had no plans.So 7 of us went to a friend's house and be as lazy as we could.And that was tiring.We did that for an hour or more.

Since I posted this post late,it is already the next day.All I wanted to say is,holidays is over....school starts again..tomorow..on the 3rd.Weird how this year I did less "going back to school shopping".=p

"Happy" new year.I wonder how true is it for some.Anyway if I close one eye and play ignorant,I am definitely having a happy new year.

Of course the more unfortunate.. are those affected by the tsunami..the victims.That disaster totally altered the new year's mood in asia.Well maybe not... totally but significantly.Our Malaysian Prime Minister has said that this year there would be no countdown...or whatsoever happy moments and entertainment.If not I would be at KGS for the countdown just now instead of my uncle's house just now.Anyway.. it was still fun and worthwhile.

It's a new year.. so any new year pledges?I don't know.Probably just improve in everything.
"Turn into a new leaf?".hm I think I'm as good as I am now so what for? unless of course someone could convince me I'm not.

So what do we see in 2004."Nothing"..just more outgoing I guess.And in the global front..I need not mention...it's tragic.
