A mixture of sadness and excitement

A long long silence and here I'm back to this space. P/s: sorry ho sheng, wasn't able to do any updates with the connection I had at home. I'm gone and back: gone from my lovely home and back to my second home in Sydney. Yeap, for long I have viewed my little room in Macquarie University Village as my home second to the one in Taiping. A tried and trusted way to kill home-sickness, so to say.

I realise that I can no longer bring more stuff from Malaysia next time. My room is literally FULL with all my stuff. Clothes and shoes especially. My cupboard looks like it's gonna throw out if I try to squeeze more clothes into the poor little thing. Not to mention my junk is like ..... well, you understand don't you?haha

Uni life is starting on Monday. It's time for more struggling after a long vacation. I was hoping that my brain didn't get too lazy after all the drama-watching, lepaking and chit-chating over this three months. STAT272 is already up and ACST200 course is bought. The race has begun, once again, and hopefully the three months did serve as a great recharge and I've sharpened my saw for the new journey.

I'm in my second year - it's going to be a much tougher year.

我每一次离家,都会问自己:你要达到什么?你离开是为了什么?下一次回家,你能带回分享的成就又是什么?

休息是为了走更远的路,但是什么时候该休息,什么时候该冲刺,也是一门技术。不该休息的时候休息,是怠慢;该休息的时候不休息,是莽撞。人之所以分上下,除了天资,就在这里了。

往后看,走过来的路崎岖不平;往前看,路面弯曲,拐弯角处不见尽头。

恭喜发财!!新年快乐!!

It feels like ages since I last posted updates on this space. Blame the slow dial-up internet connection at my home. Yeah, it may seem strange to you why some homes of today's age still don't have the so called 'broadband' or 'streamyx' (I hope I got the spelling right), "but these things spoil kids ," so said my dad. Yes, they indeed do. We used to have unlimited internet connection at home and the result? No one seems to be interested in anything other than the computer. And guess what? The line was cut barely three months after the service was installed!

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year (初一). Had a fabulous reunion dinner last night. We stuffed ourselves with all the dishes and felt full without even taking the rice! As my last Chinese New Year (2007) was spent touring around Sydney I was pretty excited about celebrating it back in Malaysia. The atmosphere is just different when the celebration is at where you are familiar with.

My laptop problem is finally solved. The password problem is solved and I found out why my computer is getting slower each time I watched online drama. It's the additional memory for the buffering of movies stored in my hard disk. I cleared all those junk and wow, my hard disk has extra over 20 G now!

Oh yea, class registration was done yesterday. I will have Tuesday free for the first semester and Friday free for the second semester. Yahoo!!! Time flies fast, my three- month summer holiday is almost over. I'm getting a little excited about going back to uni life after all the times lazying and doing nothing at home. Am glad to see my family and old friends here. Most of them are doing well in life.

May 2008 be the year filled with prosperity and happiness. May the soul of my fellow JPA scholar who passed away recently rest in peace, you are loved by many. May we be blessed with good health and an exciting year ahead.

祝大家:

新年快乐
万事如意
出入平安
身体健康
