Right this moment

Life is well and truly on a fast pace. The past few weeks saw the closure of many unfinished fictions and the realisation of many facts I was not sure about myself; but now it is as clear as the blue skies after a stormy night and I am as sure as Barack Obama being the President of the U.S.  I feel more focused than ever.

I am also eating better now. Thanks to dinners hosted by Samantha. Truth be told, she cooks like my mother. Her dishes are not spectacular in any aspect, but (and this big bold BUT) there is motherly taste to it. And that appeals to me a lot.

 For the weeks to come, I have lined myself with plenty to do. And also I might treat myself to a little bit of shopping, as I am attending a drinks evening at Llama Bar soon. This should be a given thing, but I think I will mention it as well; I shall be back at the end of the year.

I have the right to be vague

White Chrysanthemums

Flowers are beautiful don’t ya think ? Well at least I do. Not only do they look beautiful but they smell nice as well. Thats kinda what drives attraction in the kingdom of humans really. Emotions flow through and through but inevitably, some of them never gets filtered out completely. I guess this is what makes us who we are and it is in our DNA that we harbour some emotions all the time; from time to time.

 

Rain and the Sun complement each other, even though they are at opposite polarities (At least where the flower is concerned). How ironic ? This is reflected seemingly in life situations most of the time. What is the significance of this ? Well, it just shows how insignificant we can be. We meaning, people ignorant of the significance of the overlooked emotions.

 

Maybe; No. Surely realisation has to be from within for it to be eternal. A flower has already realised it, and thus, does not resent the coming and going. Looking beautiful and smelling nice all the time. Just maybe; I’ll try to be a White Chrysanthemum.

 

Take care guys

 

 

Unfinished Fiction

I feel, I am in the midst of something. The pace of my life here has somewhat increased several steps. Contrary to the believe that I can take my own sweet time, but this time it is almost like I am being pushed. It might sound bad. But to be honest, I feel I am slowly changing and getting to grips with this another life in Perth, and liking it. With that said, change is one of those things which is much much easier said than done, especially for me.

 

I think it is now apt that I cue a quote which reads "What won’t kill me, will only make me stronger", from a blog which I read often. I applied for my work permit today and collected a car today as well. It should be clear by now that, my intention is to work part-time (hopefully in an accounting firm), as well as study. I do hope I can pull through. And no, I am not playing down my capability,  I am just being a realist. I am lucky enough to have friends whom can pull this off really well. That is to make studying and getting good grades look utterly effortless. (Hint :  Arthur Wong, April Siow)

 

The statement above is not intended to put any pressure on anyone (Arthur pls don’t disappoint me, and win the RMIT vice-chancellor award for 2009 okie ?), if you get what I mean. Autumn is setting in already. The weather is as in the low 20s, which is nice. This allows for some semi-formal suit wearing, of which I am dying to don since I bought it in December. What will be my next step ? Well we will see, I am set to embrace anything that comes my way. 

 

Take care guys.

 

 

Boiling Hot

It was last week that we had a steamboat at my cousin’s place together with his housemates. Here are some of the pictures :

 

0940 at Perth

It is a warm summer’s morning, from where I am sat down now, I can feel the crispness of the morning breeze. Marco and Sean just walked passed me. It has been an eventful week an a half and finally I am starting to settle down to classes which have already begun. It also means I will resume to being my more introvert self again, of which I am comfortable with. It implies shying away from social contact whenever possible and to spend more time in private contemplation, to keep my life on track. I would simply put it as; embracing the moment.

 

Anyways, sorry if I could not contact you guys (my friends) as yet. I will try to do so as soon as possible. And thanks for replying my e-mails guys. I truly appreciate them. By the way, here is a pictorial of my campus :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perth Updates

16/02/2008

 

Finally got to the airport exit at about 5.30 p.m. Air temprature was a mild 27 C. And on our first night in Perth, we (my cousin, jeremy & kenneth) headed down to Northbridge, a place where Perth comes a live. Had our dinner at one cosy hawker stall. It was chinese food. Next we, walked along Northbridge, passing through clubs, bars and bistros. Truth be told the streets were literally packed with people in their party wear. And yea, their were all sorts of clubs, gay clubs, lesbian clubs and even a strip club called Xotica. After that, we slept at around 12 ish.

Went out for lunch today. We had chicken rice. We followed up by taking a stroll around Uni. In the night, we made a trip down to South Perth, of which is the most expensive suburb in Perth. We walked along the river bank gazing at the city lights which is right across the Swan River. It was a beautiful sight to say the least. Temprature that night was a breezy 21 C

Monday it is and it is 0-week as well. Went to Uni at about 8 ish in the morning. We gathered at Henderson court at 9 a.m. for an address by the Vice-Chancellor of the Uni. It was a nice sunny morning and it was really cool to be siting on the grass on Henderson court to listen to the address whilst shaded by the pine trees. Later, we made our way to Westfield Carousel which is the nearest major shopping complex to the Uni. We bought some furniture and groceries from K-Mart and Coles.

We finally found time to access the Uni computer lab, and we contiuned to explore other parts of the Uni. We checked out the secondhand bookstore to buy our books. Next we  went home to get some rest. While jeremy contiune to hibernate at home, I took a bus to Carousel. At Carousel, I bought the other stuffs that I was lacking. And at night, we made a trip to Burswood Casino. It was pretty interesting to see many types of card games which you could wager on.

 

20/02/2008

 

Woke up this morning, and I took a jog to Uni, instead of taking the bus, which I usually do. I noticed while exercising here, you don’t perspire much as the air is probably dry. Came back from the jog refreshed and proceeded to take a shower. From Uni, that afternoon, we headed to Swan Valley (Land of vineries) I bought a bottle of white wine to add to the alcohol collection in my room, of which already consists of a 1 litre 42 Below Vodka.

 

It Hurts To Want Everything & Nothing At The Same Time

Thankful for given an oppurtunity to start something new

Grateful for the understanding received

 

Hopeful for what might come out of this

Fulfilling for being able to live for the moment

 

Lets live for the moment guys

 

Take care , all
