#28 Library

Sorry, I know my project has failed miserably. :(. How consistent I have been.

Well, what were the reasons contributed to the failure?

Plain laziness?? hmm I couldn't deny it.

Exams? Of course exam is one of them. I have been camping in the library as a matter of fact.

"you and library?? omg, i just can't link you and library together!" one of my friends said.

yeh people change. So did I. but frankly speaking, I love the bean bags in the library more than anything.



The bean bag just made it so comfy an environment to study. :)

#27 Exams suck

This is the most painful semester from the start of the semester till the end. A big thanks for geology and geophysics!!! Why the hell did they combine it into one subject?? The workloads are just too much. 4 hours of exams in a day with over 10 questions with each question at least 2 pages long. How the hell am I supposed to remember so much??

Time is dwindling and I seriously need another brain to store all the information. Is anyone kind enough to offer me another brain?? I promise I will return it in one piece right after the exam with all the geological and geophysical data deleted! Guess you wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. :)

I have realized that with us getting older each year, our ability to memorize stuff seems to be going downhill. Is it true that I am really getting older with a small and rusty???



ok seriously if I ever become that geology-minded, pls kill me on the spot!

#26 Desserts

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says desserts?

Ice cream? Chocolate? Waffle?

For me, those are never my favorite. You might ask "how can you not like ice cream and chocolate?" well I just don't. and for a change, I prefer fruits. I personally like all sorts of fruits except durians!! If there is one thing I can ban people from eating it'd be durians. oh wait, maybe durians come after peanuts. lol.

Everyday after dinner and before bed time, I would sit down and enjoy my daily favorite meal of the day -- which I call the dessert platter. It's not as costly as seafood platter, not as expensive and fattening as ice cream platter, but it's as delicious as any of them. At least to me.

I am a big fan of fruits. Only one kind of fruits a day isn't gonna satisfy my insatiable needs for them. So I will take at least 3 different types of fruits each day, naming apple, grapes and strawberries. :). Sometimes 4 if I have a banana for breakfast. wow, I should buy an orchard! that will probably save me a lot of money in the long run.



But to be honest, I feel so fresh and happy and relaxed after eating those fruits everyday. Not to exaggerate it but those little fruits do really make my days sometimes, if not everytime.

#25 Shades

I need a pair of shades to help overlook things that are too painful to look at.

I need a pair shades to help hide the fear that people can easily see through my eyes.

I need a pair of shades so that the people that cherish me will take it off me when they are ready to show me the path that's leading us down.

I need a pair of shades so that I can help boost the economics and get away from recession and spend as much as I wish.

I need a pair of shades so that people wouldn't recognize me if I misbehave.



However, this is not the pair of shades I want.

#24 Breakfast by the beach

Had a nice breakfast this morning by the beach in Wollongong. A famous restaurant which according to chea hao is well reputable even on the internet. Well, I am not much of a fussy eater myself so yeh I am ok with anything.

Standing there staring at the menu board for a good 5 mins deciding on whether to order a burger or fish n chips only to be told that they only served breakfast at that hour. How embarassing. We ended up having breakfast plate which consists of bacon, tomato, eggs and baby spinach.

It's a good experience to have a nice meal by the beach. The sea breeze and the warmth from the sunshine just chase the blues away. It is also an effective way to de-stress when you have so much pressure weighing down on your shoulder.



One will never know whats better out there if one never steps out of the shelter. Holding on to something that's expired isn't gonna get you anywhere but just a waste of time.

#23 Nan Tien Temple

This is my second visit to Nan Tien Temple, the biggest Buddhist Temple in Australia. Having stayed in Wollongong and not going to Nan Tien Temple is a crime itself hence I made time today to go there with Chea Hao for lunch. Yeh all the way to the temple for lunch, but the vegetarian food there made it worthwhile.


Ok I know it's time to study and go to school. I am ready :)


Cheahao posing in front of the main entrance.


A peek at my lunch of the day. My fav would be the egg plant with capsicum and mushroom on the top. Nice combination.


My attempt to interfere in their conversation.

So, my hair is still intact. I didn't have the impulsive desire to shave my head and become a monk today. However there's a hostel kinda place for visitors and I might come again to stay for a night next time.

#22 Wollongong

So there I go, to a city on the south of Sydney. A dead city but with a lively soul which is of course my high school mate Chea Hao.

Needed a break so I decided to get onboard a train and traveled for 1.5 hours to get to this town. Despite being colder and more quite than Sydney, at least the silence isn't deafening and the freezing weather isn't miserable.


It's always nice to see a familiar face, especially during the time when you think you are too vulnerable to see strangers around.
