I am back in Hobart

I am back in Hobart. Lots of catch ups, lots of work to do.
I am still trying to adjust the time differences at the moment, feeling a bit tired.
I've got to go to supermarkets to get all the cooking ingredients I need, there's
nobody to cook for me after all since my mum and dad are not around.
 
My little sister is coming to Hobart college next week maybe, hope she doesn't get homesick.
Well, I am back, keep in touch guys.

News lately

 
  • airline tickets: They are so bloody hard to get. Everything is so expensive. Normally I would thought getting a ticket in the mid january wouldn't be a tough job, but I am wrong. apparently the Chinese New Year is gonna be in the late January, so don't expect to get anything below $1400 around that time.
 
  • Dinners: Eating alone sucks, fortunately I have a friend, she's been coming around lately, feel kind of nice to have some accompanies.
 
  • Mobile phone: I had a look at the new Nokia E71, it looks really nice, I might wait until Christmas to see if there's a special. It's so expensive at the moment.
 
  • Study: I am getting into the work slowly but I have faith in myself.
 
Have a good day guys~~ ^ ^ your luck is around the corner!~

who am I to say-Hope (background music)

Who Am I To Say - Hope

Love of my life, my soulmate
You're my best friend
Part of me like breathing
Now half of me is left


Don't know anything at all
Who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me


Color me blue I'm lost in you
Don't know why I'm still waiting
Many moons have come and gone
Don't know why I'm still searching


Don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me


Hmmm hmmm mmm
Uhhh oohhh aahhh
Hooo aahhh ohh ohhh


Now you're a song I love to sing
Never thought it feels so free
Now I know what's meant to be
And that's okay with me


But who am I to say you love me
And who am I to say you need me
And who am I to say you love me


Mmmm hmmm

I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me
I don't know anything at all


I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

back from Queensland

Hey guys I uploaded some photos, I had a great time there. keep in touch
May 26

hi guys, long time no update...

Hi friends... it's been a while since last time I update this space.. feel like to write some words to prove I am still alive..- -!
Well my PhD study has started in March this year, it's exciting, challenging, I love challeges. However I do have a lot of papers & journals
to read, it's a bit of headache... 
My personal life? well it's been some changes as well, I've got a new apartment by myself, it's pretty good one close to uni and supermarkets.
I also have got a new car, bought it 3 months ago, went to service station and it's all good. 
About the tragic earthquake in China, I felt sad for those who died and lost their families. I donated $100 to the redcross last week,
it's not much but I do hope it could really help somebody with this little contribution.
Already then, keep in touch guys~

Summer again

I have been busy with applying schools for my PhD study, I am fine by the way~
I applied many schools in Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland and Perth,
still not sure where I am going yet, but I won't stay in Tassie that's for sure
Summer is back again, I will miss this place ........
September 01

almost there~!

First of all let me have the honour to introduce you the background song, "Jeanne" by AIR, old song but very tasty,enjoy while reading~
 
I've just finished one of my last 2 unit of honours program, it's been an exciting 7 weeks, tones of journal articles but i enjoyed it.
I like my lecturer Francis Tapon very much, funny French Canadian guy, making jokes all the time, really cracked me up in class,
and the experiment thing i did with him was really fun too, and he's back in canada now, i think i'll miss him sometime.
 
i've got HD in Francis' subject, the major thing i need to focus on is my dissertation now,
it worth 50% jesus i don't want to mess around with that.....
from now on i don't have classes no more, just do research.
i'll miss the days having classes.
I am almost there~! I'll make it~ come on, one last push, PhD i am coming~!!
July 14

All blank

Winter break, crazy game nights, west coast trip with rain all over....
All these stuff just float away and pass through me, it's all blank in my head
All blank..
Certain time ago i believe i am the centre of the universe
now I realise i am an universe, expands infinitely, no aim no direction no pain no nothing
All these studying makes me work like an robot
I am tired
sea winds blow hard but the seagulls fly high
lousy days keep coming, people come and people go
but I am still there, with my litte dream
I am so tired..

Won't update for a while-->100% honours

Well well well, you know what people say, you're never sure until the last moment comes.

Yep, I am giving up the Master of marketing degree and risk it up to the honours degree.

Honours of Economics, it's a quite challenging journey to go through.

Frankly speaking I have never done this kind thing before thesis, research, and so many

Presentations you can not even count.

The risk is right there, if I can not get it done well enough, I am not able to go directly into my

PhD study in Melbourne, that'll ruin my plan.

Sure there is a lot of pressure out there, that's why I have to give other things up,

that might means I may not be able to go to those forums I used love to go to,

those computer games like warcraft are certainly out of there way, too.

No more late movie nights no more internet access at home.......

But you know what, if that's what it takes to get me there then I do not have a choice.

 

That's it then, may be I won't update this space for a while.......

Wish me good luck.

Classic summer

It's been so hot these few days and the temperature was well about 30, but these couldn't stop the crazy fans in Melbourne park.I wish I had a chance to go to RodLaver arena myself instead of lying in front of my little TV. The matches were great and many of them were very classic battles and I really enjoyed them. I wish Roger Federer win this year, like last year, casue I think he is the best in the world at the moment.
 
It had a hell of rain yesterday and I have never seem anything like this, probably "storm" is a better word to describe yesterday's situation. I saw many streets turned into little rivers and there were even some people took out their boat. It was certainly fantastic for the farmers who's been preying for God for some water.
 
It's a shame though I might not be able to travel to Brisbane for holiday due to the PR process and busy flight schedule , I could still go somewhere else if the PR goes well in time.
 
Finally I might decide to do master of Marketing instead of Honors of Economics next year, it's a big decision I don't know it's absolutely right or not, I don't know if many years later I am gonna regret about this but I do know I have to get my PHD's degree and I will go on till the end.
 
What a lovely summer with many big decisions~ with the friendly people and intense tennis games, I am enjoying my special holiday hoho~
and I wish everybody I know have a good one, too.

One way road

I am graduated. But no time to take a break casue still hips coming up.
Always feel like to take a good break, to enjoy sunshine with mates,
to go back and see my parents,to see if my grandfather's smile is still
that charming....Things are easy to say,it's like you are in middle of nowhere,
you have to find a beautifu haven you've never been. Laydown on the ground and stay?
I don't wanna do that. I have to get rid of all the obstructions and keep on going.
Different with finding a way to somewhere in the bush, you are dealing with time.
Time is such a tricky thing, it's an one way road.
I have to be strong in my mind and keep believing what  I believe,
I have to overcome all the troubles and hold on there.
Life is an one way road, think before you do and do it well.
I am happy in this way.Nothing will stop me getting there,
even I have to fight the world alone, as always.

would it be wrong

Exams are finished holidays are coming, summer is coming. I hope all my subjects went well so I can enjoy everything.
Every time I ask myself where is my break? people always think "oh I will take a break after this exam, or I will do this and this
after that." But in fact after they accomplished their task and immediately a new task is generated.
 
Things are so simple like that, for example, I really liked a girl from my class and I didn't know her. I told myself do not act
anything before all my studies or exams are done. And now I have finished all my exams in my commerce bachelor life, however,
I saw her with another guy shopping the other day... What can I say? Wait for another chance? Yep you can do that but how many
nice people am I gonna miss out in my life? Will it be another ending if I acted during my semester, without even affecting my study?
If god ask me to choose again, probably I will choose study again..That's me. I knew this I knew it's gonna be too late but I still wanna
choose to study rather than fall in love with her. Everytime in my dream I felt love is more important than anything but I just didn't do it
the same way in reality.
 
Well since then I would not feel regret about it. It's just you have to give up something in your life for something else, I just chose to get
the more important one for me, nothing wrong with that.
 
Like what they say in tha cartoon I say the other day, whcih I total agreed with, is that they deny that  strongest in this society is always right. The right thing is what you feel is right. Basically these rights stuff in the society is complicated but you have to follow your feeling and
hold on to it. Some time people ask what is the point to live in your life? Well that's the answer.
 
Weather is getting hot and 76ers is getting suck. I wish I have a wonderful summer and all my exams are good, and no problems in getting my PR. Please enjoy the beautiful new song with me, enjoy.

suddenly realise it's the last time

Well people often don't realise when it is too late
it's like the last lecture, the last talk
who knows when we are gonna see each other again, or over?
 
Graduations, so excited but have you think of you might never see some one ever again?
some of the lecturers are gonna retire your classmates are going somewhere else to find a job
it's been amazing we meet each other in our lives
One of my former classmate died in a car accident last monday
I couldn't believe it, it's like I have talked to him the other day
and Bang he died today
life is amazing and it's such a good thing to meet a good friend
 
Exams are coming, I'd better get into it.....

Metthew Perry

I only noticed this guy from Friends and then I started to like him, He is so talented are easy to get along. He is an absolutely funny guy, I like him a lot. More Metthew's picture see here..
September 02

lots of thinking lately

"I am catching up I am i am i am....."
1 week's time is a hell of break, I wanna do a bit work on my study,
Currently there are just so many stuff disturbing me..
Look I know I have to take care of the things but I just think to
spend it on the things I really care about is the best way.
I don't care some stupid jerk turn his back on me,
It's kind of suck but still, nothing more I can really do about it.
If someone never thought he is your best friend then he never will.
It used to bothering me a lot and now i just think i it's just not worth it.
I suddenly realize I take care of my study this semester and I am done, well at least for the bachelor.
There is still a hell of journey after this, master and PHD....
friends around wondered would that be too tired,
Yes i know it's really hard but i think i am still gonna do it, well no pains no gains, right?
 
Always be aware what situation are you in and be prepared for the next move.
I say this to myself a lot but I hardly did any.
Long journey no turning back, I thought of these when I first came this place
I understand people saying "Jesus! u haven't been back home for 3 years~! aren't u homesick??"
But honestly speaking I have never been really homesick, I mean I certainly do but just not that much..
I don't know......not because my parents aren't good to me, they are the best, but I think
I just so nervous and excited about my future...
I always believe I am going to have a shining future,
and I will do everything it takes to achieve that.
I believe...

Things always come to an end

I watched Friends season 10 last night...

I have watched season 1-9 ages ago but just never have got a chance up to the final one.

Well 6 of them got apart..

Chandler and Monica moved to a new house out of town..

All of these reminds me how hard it is for firends to get into new places..

 well man got to grow and you just have to accept this fact, things always come to an end....

Bye "friends"

problems solved

It was pretty annoying last few weeks about my Mazda 626, I always could not start the engine properly..
At first I thought it was the battery problem and then I thought it was the spark...
Finally I realsied it was the choke~!
The thing is when the car engine is hot and you still leave the choke out,
that would give too much petrol and can not get started, and soon the
battery will run out after a few try, casue high voltage is need when you start the car.
And with my friend's help I added some engine oil in~! Now I can feel the engine better.
A lot of people say I should sell this car after  i passed P test
but I think this car is great, the most important thing is the engine runs very well.
It's pretty hard to learn a manual one, like u have got to change gears at the perfect time,
and perfect speed, otherwise the engine will not be happy..
By the by, I just got through a terrible presentation, can't believe how awkward was that,
it was just boring, might be the worst presentation I ever had.
But there are excuses, just so damn busy~
And a test is coming soon next week I really need to crack on it....And I wanna to have a haircut....~_~
And I was pretty disappointed today casue some personal stuff.
Anyway, should be bothering me casue the is no problem anymore, both for the car and for me.

August 07

Just gonna be busy

God so much work to do~!
All the assignments the presentations the group meetings ......
I've got a bit unconfortable about all of these..
I think it's just the time of year you need to work on it
So u'll have the harvest in the exam.
Well just gonna be busy that's all
Not a big deal.

Can't believe it

Seasons after seasons, Allen Iverson had been disappointed since 2001. Now he is getting traded like a second hand car.... He was the super star so shiny that everyone believe he is the answer he could turn things around. God now Philly manager sold him out. A.I. is so loyal that nobody deny it, I always dream A.I. can win a championship at Philly, or sometimes I even wish he could stay in Philly 76ers forever, even though he has no championship titles. If someone ask me to choose to abandon Philadelphia 76ers or Allen Iverson, I will definitely abandon 76ers. Frankly speaking they suck~!! They are nothing without A.I.
But that is the cruelty of the world of the NBA. See NBA is more and more like a business market nowadays. I don't give a shit about those all I wish is to watch pure basketball game. Where ever Allen Iverson goes I just wish him good luck. You are the best,man.
  based on new rumors AI is not going anywhere, he would stay in Philly--Billy King said. Who knows?? I hate Billy King, for so many reasons I can not even count.

hibernation time

  Today is the first day of winter, the sky was covered with thick clouds and with showers at times. It's time of hibernation for me, to stop stuffing around and start to do my study for the final exams.

Remember who you are

   Time flies, day after day night after night, everything goes so fast that people forget how to react with this, some of them live in the past, they could not get over things and always want to live in the past memories; On the other hand, there are also a lot of people want to "live in the future", that is they push everything late and they believe they could do the stuff later on would be the same. While both of these two kinds people are not wise. A wise man should know how the time works. Time is the thing inundates everything, the greatest warrior is inescapable from time, the guy with highest IQ could not beat time..  Yep, there are a lot things man can not find out and slove, such as what is universe what is out side of it looks like? Why time could be reverse sometime, why do we exsit? .....
   What a wise man would do is to make good use of every day and fullfill his dream or plans then I say he is smart. People around you, things around you changes all the time, make yourself fit into that enviornment  and hold on your principles, hold on your believes,I think there is a day I will finally success.

Time to think about it

There's never a chance to get the time to take a real break
and it's impossible to  finish everything by one shot either
A long sleep is not a way to get everything out
The only thing to finish everything up is death
But that's not the thing I am gonna talk about until 90 or 120 years later
 
Strong winds and gusty rains brought the bad mood,
with the pressure, is it really a pressure?
Is that suppose to be what I should have been doing?
Time to think about it
fix up the attitude and come on, a hell of work to do ^^
