A new post, a blank post with an update

Randomness is something that I let my hands do the talking. What shall I say?

There goes the 1st semester. Can you imagine that 5 months just whizzed by without us realising that, "oh, we are done already?" Heads up people, get real and before you know it, you will be at home for Christmas.

Tada!

First the assignments, then the cockroaches?

It so happens that I can say that I am almost done with my assignments. Earth presentation slides has just been submitted to the website, just need to prepare on what i want to say based on those slides. My anthropology essay is somewhat done, kudos to my Dad for helping me proof read and commenting at the same time. Econs quiz preparation, done. Anything else?

Well, I was so lazy just facebooking and playing games when I just heard a scream in the bathroom. It started with a scream.. then a commotion of everybody's annoying black ugly friend, the cockroach. Not just one but two running around. I smacked one but the other escaped my hand. However, they seem to be popping out all over the place. Just then, I just smell like somebody just vomited a distance away. Geez.. strange things happen today.

Oh, by the way, my housemate now trembles in fear of cockroaches. Hope it doesnt get him in the middle of the night. >.<

Cheers mates

After seven weeks of research about Climate Change

Today was the day. It was a special day because the project has been completed. 7 weeks of intense research and writing, e-mails flying all over the place was compiled to a 19 page report. We had work limit constrains and there was alot to say. We agreed on it, printed it out, wrote our peer assessment forms and dropped it into the box.

There was a sense of euphoria when that was done. It is over for some of us. I am blessed to have good group members. It has been fun working with them and scratching our heads over this. 

"Not by power, not by might but by my spirit, says the Lord God Almighty"

I am indeed amazed on how we managed to finish the project. I do not consider myself lucky but I know that God is always in control. He has helped the group in the Climate Change project, the Scientific Investigation report and assignments. Now, I am plowing through books regarding the anthropology of religion.

I seek and pray for guidance for I too question about my faith. Religion changes people and societies. It provides the structure of the society and laws that will govern them. Alright, I gotta get back to my books.

Shall update this soon.

One term down, one more to go

*happy face*

A glorious finish for the end of half a semester. We did it, every single one of us. The week of study break is here and Easter is here as well. So we should celebrate with something special. This saturday is the highly anticipated most GG like Paintball game. Everybody will go NUTZ!! and WACKO and GGing around.

So, load up your weapons and go *splat splat splat*

You wish it could be like that everyday. Unfortunately, we still have alot of work to do. Mid semester exams and quizes and project date lines are like after the study break. Sure, no formal classes but you still need to keep going.

GOGOGOGOGO. One thing at a time and we all can have a nice rest. :D

One thing at a time but I just have no idea where to start

This is a very short note to update my blog. I am basically trying to survive with what I am doing from geology. I never knew that geology can be that difficult.

Assignments? No, try projects and you just want to do it well all the time. You are marked for your attendance, contribution and peer-to-peer evaluation. I have this climate change project which I do not really know how to start. They gave us a guideline and I just need to read. However, I feel sleepy but I do not want to sleep, not until I did something productive for the day

My head is spinning with Gender and Sexuality from Anthropology and thinking through about this climate project. Dang, I am beginning to dislike Microsoft Excel even though it has become rather simple.

Yey, I finished Halo 3. Such a nice ending to the whole game. ROFL. Time to play it all over again.

My blog is so alive, ROFL

It is one of those moments that I have finished what I wanted to do for the day. I guess I should be this productive everyday so that I can free my weekends.

It is the 4th week of university and I am feeling the stress. I do not really understand why they say that year one is the honeymoon year. Either they have easy units or Im just crazy enough to do hard units for this semester. Im walking on water with Anthropology. Such a new thing but yet it is so interesting. This is just the first semester. All I just want is sleep at the moment.

Brain uses alot of energy and I get tired really easily. Perhaps you see me walking aimlessly in university, just tap me and hope that I will respond. hehe

3 weeks after coming back to Perth

It has been sometime since I have updated this blog. This trip is going to be more interesting than last year. You are no longer in High School (Year 12) but rather at the beginning of the undergraduate route. You have a mixture of emotions. Excited, apprehensive and clueless on what will happen within the next few years. 

Fortunately, we have a God who looks out for us. He is there on the turblulent waters. You just come out of your comfort zone and walk towards him. Do you assume that everything will be stable? No, not even Peter who is to be the rock of the church passed the test. As what my pastor back in Singapore always say, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus through the hills and valleys of life." How true it can get. Where everything seems to go wrong, you always want to look at somebody which is stable. God is there for us and is with us through the end of the age. Amen to that!

Ever since I returned to Perth, I do not have the words to discribe how everything fitted so nicely together. Accommodation is such a big issue for International Students but yet, it was provided. I thank God for that and it shows that we are meant to be here.
