Holiday in Perth

Went on a trip to Perth, stayed over at Geri's cousin's place in the attic, q kewl. Its my 3rd time in Aussieland so I guess I've been accustomed to many things. The nicest part about this trip was all the nicest food I've every tried. Like the best pancakes, pie, battered scallop and oysters I've ever tried. Anyway, shall let the pictures do the talking, enjoy!

Looking Back at the past 2 sems

Another academic year has passed, dreaded exams are now over.. Waiting for results.. Treading into the hols with ambivalence.

Looking back, I remember I was q sad when I found out 2 sems ago when Tim changed course to Geog, of course I feel happy as well, esp when he really found his interests there. It's just.. I know I'll dread going to school even more. And then Chengwei went for exchange last sem, and again I felt that feeling of loss. What am I going to do in pgp..? I guess one major downside of research is the fact that you gotta work alone.. something which I'm terribly bad at..

Thank goodness I've met you guys.. han, liza, and the gang in physics. hanging ard in and outside the lab, climbing precariously over railings on the 4th floor to use shortcuts, sharing dramas and movies around, going late for lessons and bargaining with the prof over tests date, climbing hills and exploring new places, playing sudoku during lectures.. it made the past 2 sems so much more interesting!

Here's a look at what we do!

Hanging out at the lounge becomes an almost daily hobby


So much so when exams came it was time to panic!


Of course, not forgetting to nourish ourselves..

Star..

Tim you're gonna like this :)

The power of the dream

Dearest Friend..

Whatever is bothering you, always look on the bright side of things yar.. people says time heals, but i believe it is love that heals.. think of your family and friends who love you, everything will be fine I'm sure, stay strong and persevere..

The first time I heard this song was actually when you first played it in the car, heh, and now I hope it'll give you hope, courage and motivation.. and also to all those friends out there who might have your own struggles at the moment, continue to dream..

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strenght of just "I can"
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You’ll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

There’s so much strength in all of us
Every woman child and man
It’s the moment that you think you can’t
You’ll discover that you can

The power of the dream
The faith in things unseen
The courage to embrace your fear
No matter where you are
To reach for your own star
To realize the power of the dream
To realize the power of the dream

Horrigible paper!

Monday's paper was horrigible! i think the worst thing that can happen (besides knowing that you studied for the wrong topic just b4 the exam starts) is to know where u went wrong and how to do a qn, but to hear "ok, you must stop writing now".. its just depressing to know that the grade u'll get isn't representative of your capabilities. not to mention that i went to clare, sat down, and realised that i rested my arm on a pile of birdshit on the table, great...

Yar, and so I played pool with han at marina sq, but i guess i was too upset to concentrate, and the balls just reminded me of collisions, which was the qn i was supposed to solve.. we came to the conclusion that its a vicious cycle, i'm upset so i can't play well, i get even more upset that i can't play well.. and so on..

so i played time crisis 3 at the arcade to let out some steam.. thank goodness i lasted q a while even though it was my first time playing, so it wasn't q a waste of money

grr.. i've a new theory. if u din study for a test and u dont do well, u wont be that upset cos its kinda expected, but if u actually do well, it'll be a pleasant surprise! on the other hand, if u studied, u'll kind of expect urself to do well. but if u dun, then u'll be disappointed, so its a lose-lose situation.. conclusion: don't study. haha
