superstix's Xanga

Migration

Fri, 30 Jun 2006 06:01:15 GMT

That's right. I'm moving to another site.

For some reason I just dislike this set up. I mean, don't misunderstand me. Xanga is great, but the limited skills of my lay-out is killing me. It just looks so plain and ugly.

Therefore I'll be hunting around for a new spot. Please email me to ask me for the new address. I won't be putting it up here.

back in singapore

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 07:20:45 GMT

I'm back!

Haven't met anyone yet but I'm really excited to meet lin and maybe elf tonight. JL texted last night and asked if I wanted to watch football on football on friday night. HELL YEAH!

Lin wanted to meet on sat night but I forgot I had promised to meet sharon as well. Maybe we can all meet up together. should be fun. I should start planning what I want to do next week.

As you all know, I have NO internet connection at home. As much as it is killing me, I have no choice but to use the internet at the library. looks like this will be my second home in the day. I feel like a tourist, having nothing to do everyday but just 'exploring' the place. Well, looks like Ive been doing that for the past 4 years. I feel guilty whenever I'm back coz' everyone is at work and I feel like such a bum. To compensate, I then try to do some household chores, only to be told off by my dad the superhousecleaner that it's not good enough and that he would rather do it himself. Oh,come on! It's not my fault I'm not trained to be a professional cleaner and meet his pristine standards of cleaning.

I slept well last night at 4am but woke up at 11am..I then tried to bury my head back in the doona and go back to sleep. Somehow I don't think I'll be sleeping real late anymore considering that I no longer have Internet access at home. So it'll be an incentive to wake up in the day and actually come to the library. Speaking of which. i have like 30++$ fines to pay off and I really don't want to.

Okay, that's it for now I guess. I miss my cats heaps and last night I actually thought I heard polo meowing. Sigh. Miss ricki too, hope he'll do well and look after my babies.

EXAMS ARE OVER!

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 02:51:02 GMT

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am. Just finished the last paper 10 minutes ago and there was some drama there. I got up like 15 minutes late, drove like a maniac to school and ended up being 30 minutes late. Thankfully I managed to finish half an hour early miraculously. As I got up to leave, I saw this guy behind me writing heaps of stuff and I panicked. Ugh. I hope I will do alright for this paper coz I think I was not as prepared as I could have been.

So what am I gonna do now? Just gonna relax and do whatever I want til I get back to Singapore next Wednesday. Ricki and I planned to go to Bunbury this weekend so that's something on the agenda. Sophia's sister is coming to town and she wants to take her out so there's something else to do too. Before I go, I just gotta get down to sorting out stuff like parking for my car and other nitty-gritties.

Can't wait to see my friends in Sg! Also my dad and my family...Looking forward to the holidays. Only bane is I won't have internet at home (WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!?!) and there is no world cup matches to watch on TV coz I don't have starhub cable.

Alright, gonna go now..see you all in SG!!!

On the 22nd July...

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 08:26:20 GMT

So I compiled a list of births and deaths of famous people I know/like from Wikipedia by typing in my date of birth..I found that on Sharon's blog and decided to do the same

Births:

1519 - Pope Innocent IX (d. 1591) not bad having a Pope born on the same day!

1923 - Bob Dole, U.S. Senator from Kansas and Presidential candidate

1947 - Danny Glover, American actor

1947 - Don Henley, American drummer, singer, and songwriter (Eagles)

1974 - Franka Potente, German actress I love her!

Death:

The one and only,

1934 - John Dillinger, American bank robber (shot) (b. 1903)

Hope you all enjoyed this little piece of trivia :)

So I'm coming home...

Fri, 02 Jun 2006 05:56:33 GMT

Yeay!

I'm really excited to go back to Sg, though I have to worry about the exams first. They start in two weeks' time so I'll have to work real hard! For now I have distinctions in all my units except for one unit which I failed one assignment, so that's just a pass. :(

I know I should not get hung up bout all these figures, but if I don't get a 60% average, my ass is on the line. Anyway, I bought a graphics calculator today from cash converters for AUD25...heh. Gonna ask my lecturer how the hell do I apply some functions on this snazzy calculator. I forgot to ask the saleswoman how much would I get when I sell it back to them, coz I know I won't keep it after the exam. Maybe $5??

So, I'll be back on the 26th june, which is a monday. Hopefully I'll be able to meet the dolls(hope alex is still around??) and JL is leaving for thailand on the 5th july. Lin is also going to Bali on the 13th so will have to make the best out of my time there. I'm thinking of taking a short holiday with my dad, and how wonderful will it be if he takes me to Germany for the World Cup? *dream on*

Yes div, I'll eat the profiteroles on your behalf, gladly :) But there are also many other things I wanna eat. *drools*Confirm will become chunky if I have dinner or supper with lin ever so often. The food here sucks as usual, and I was fantasising of bee hoon goreng and the oyster omelette before I went to bed last night.

Craig's having a birthday bash tomorrow, it's his 30th so it should be a big one. Am planning on having a quiet night tonight to recuperate for tomorrow...I've planned to go for dinner and then pool with ricki but we'll see what happens.

Alright, have a wonderful weekend everyone!

*HUGS*

I had a look at a place on Wednesday at Osborne park, and it happened to be the same block of flats where bill lives. bill is the friend of our neighbour glenda. they are elderly people who get drunk all the time, fight and fight but still glenda would go back to bill's place when the storm is over. Anyway, bill's housemate saw me getting out of ricki's car and he told glenda he thought i was trying to score some rock (speed) from one of the dealers living there. Then he spoke to ricki, who was waiting in the car and ricki told him I was just looking at an apartment. Earlier ricki had tried to hide it from the folks that I might be living there, but I guess they were gonna find out sooner or later. Bill's apartment smells really bad, it's like he had not arranged for any form of ventilation or something, when that is not the case. I always wonder where the smell comes from, but was too embarassed to ask. In any case, I decided not to take that flat in that complex. They are awfully kind people but let's just say I won't really be happy when Glenda fights will Bill and wants to come to my place or if they have a bar-b and I have to join them. Ahem.

So, I'm gonna look at another flat today. Same suburb, but near to where I live now. Ricki is upset that I want to move out, but I tried feebly to explain to him that it'll all be for the better. I just need my own space, and I don't like feeling like I have no where to go if things turn sour.

School is alright, except that I failed my second assignment today. I admit I did a last minute job on that and didn't attend both the lectures which the assignment covered, Looks like I'll have to work like a maniac for the exams, which are coming up next month. Other units are fine, but I still have to work really hard if I want to do well. This takes me back to '98, the year of the O'levels. Will there be another victory? We shall wait and see. But I will never forget the support and help that my dear dolls gave me then.

Speaking of which, I'm dying for a holiday, so i think I might return to Sg after my exams. Perhaps in the first week of July. Lin>>I miss you too! Miss late night suppers with you and I believe we have much to talk about the DaVinci code, which has been the centre of my conversation with sharon lately. I WANT TO GO TO BAKERZ INN!!!

Thanks for the consolation Johnny, but well, I deserved it so there's nothign I can do. Except to drive in secret and there's no way in hell I am ever going to drive drunk again. At least not for these 5 months.

Heh. And you thought I had reformed.

Court!

Wed, 24 May 2006 02:21:58 GMT

So I went for my court hearing yesterday. It was over in a matter of minutes. Fine 600$, and 5 months suspension.

5MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I've decided that i'll still drive to school or to work in the day time, as you never get pulled over during those times. But forget about driving late at night and especially weekend nights.

So that's the verdict...nothing else exciting going on. oh yes! I;'m going to have a look at an apartment today. It's not the best, with what I can afford but hopefully I get it. Ricki does not want me to move out and he doesn't understand my reasons for doing so. But I'm sure he'll understand in time to come. The place we're living in now is just unfit for human accomodation.

I am still deliberating if I should go back to Singapore for a few weeks for winter...It would be nice, but I guess if I do get my flat I'll just get my dad to come over here instead.

Blog

I know I’ve been bugged by you all to update my blog, and yet I’ve been lazy to do it..Ugh..it’s not easy you know. Not easy to tell everyone everything because to me nothing significant has transpired during my time here. I’m just going with the grain, and I’m too afraid to go against it. But one thing is for sure, if you want something, you have to work for it, and you also need to have faith that God will give you what you ask for. And even when that doesn’t happen, you still have to have faith that perhaps it’s all part of a bigger picture. That perhaps one day we’ll look back and think that those things are not so important anymore.

I have so many assignments to do and I admit that recently I have not been trying my best, but I am back and feel even stronger. I just hope that it’s not too late to catch up. A good friend asked me this question, if I’ve ever regretted doing this course. And without thinking, I said no. And the truth is I do not. I enjoy doing the course and what another friend said is true. It’s not the course that kills you, it’s the daily distractions that could take you away from what you’re supposed to do. Up til now, I still insist that I love computing, I love the non-ambiguity, the definite right and wrong of it. Most all, I love the world of opportunities that come along with it, and I hope to be part of that one day.

I can not thank enough the people who have placed their faith in me; to me that is a very great thing. I took a leap of faith into the unknown, and God has often looked out for me in many ways. The road gets tiresome some days, and recently I just haven’t been able to keep my focus in place. Yet I must not forget what I came here to do, and that I must understand that I can’t live someone else’s life for them.

As I’ve spoken some things to div about ricki, I think I’ll leave it at that. I don’t think it’s nice to be writing about our personal affairs in such a public forum (though I know there’ll only be a few of you reading this anyway) and I can’t say that things are fine between us; what exactly is fine? Is it when you reach a stage where you know you can definitely be with the person for the rest of your life? All I can say is that we truly love each other, and perhaps we just need some time and patience on my part. I have come to realise that he really loves me and accepts me for who I am.

Many times I have said to God that I’ll leave things I can’t solve in his hands, but often I still try to confront it head on. And I can only guess that it only makes matters worse. So I really have to trust Him and what he has in plan for me.

So that’s that. I miss everyone and I wish I could come home, and maybe I would, I really don’t know yet. We’ll just see what happens after my exams. Hugs and love to everyone who’s reading this.

What do you do when you have a thousand assignments due and you have no clue what is going on?

Of course I feel doom, despair and many other things. But I can't give up, right?

Not now..

So the sleepless nights go on...

I'm freezing my ass off right now as I'm sitting outside eating my fruit salad. To everyone reading this, please don't worry too much about what you've read on my blog. There is nothing really bad going on with me, it's just one of those downs you get every once in a while.

There are two assignments due tomorrow and I'm almost finished so I'm really glad. So glad to be back on track!

Will write more when I get the chance to. Right now I'm just gonna pack up and go into the labs..it's too cold out here. brrr..
