first month in sydney

Well, it seems that my frequency of updating my blog has changed from daily ( hardly ever), to weekly (seldom) and now monthly! Haha, of course I will try not to make it into yearly. =P

First of all, I'm fine and well and good here! No worries~ Perhaps a better way to view my status is through facebook? But I guess blogging is different cause I get to describe things in a more detailed manner. On the other hand I dont feel like writing stuff which is more private as I will prefer chat in msn..I know i know..i sound so annoying right now~ =.=" right, let's start then.

My first month in sydney was BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY~~~~~~~~~

I shall categorise my business into a few components :

a) University life on studies~ Lectures are jam packed everyday with unfinished work and never ending assignments (more to come), lecture notes are pilling up until I think i have lost some of them already. Often I will reach home feeling tired with sore back, stiff muscle and a dead face.. Fortunately, there are a bunch of friends who are on the same boat so I dont feel that bad at the end of the day! =)

b) University life on clubs and societies ~ I join the Malaysian club which also known as SUAMS as well as the buddhist society (uniboddhi). I participated in an event similar to amazing race during the second week organized by SUAMS where my team mate and I were required to go around sydney to accomplish several tasks. Proud to annouce that we were the last team to arrive because we didnt 'race' for the competition, basically we just WALKED throughout the race and took heaps of pictures, anyway it was a great experience though. Then, on the third week I went to Wollongong which is a small suburb with my buddhist members. It took us around 2 hours on the train to reach there but we hardly can feel that the journey was long since all of us were pretty talkative there. =) We went to visit a buddhist temple, Nan tien temple which is the largest temple in southern hemisphere!! It was just awesome to be there, with gorgeous weather, nice people and most importantly it made me feel home! =))))) Well, basically I didnt get to involve in much of the activities because I cant stay at uni until too late and my timetable doesnt allow me to attend for most of the meetings. =( However, I really hope that I can join more activities next time..

c) Besides Uni ~ I'm working part time now in sydney, just 2 days per week but it's sufficient to explain why my life is so busy that I cant be active in my clubs. =/ Well, think of the brighter side, it's a golden opportunity to train me to be a better person, to look at the world at a different prospective and to really get into the life here. I know starting it's hard, especially for a noob like me that is exceptionally slow in adapting new things, but I will try my best to improve myself!!!

d) Besides Uni part 2 : Apart of meeting khar mun and soon yee during orietation day, I met up with yen shian aka my lovely neighbour who is staying nearby my uni! =) My heart will feel so warm and home when I meet my friends~ Had a great day with her taking pics in my uni!

e) Family : My aunt and her family is really sweet and caring, feel completely blissed having them here. That's why I must be very obedient to avoid causing them any trouble. =P

f) Food : Too much to tell on this..but i'm definitely like the fresh food here because it's so FRESH....the vege OMG..fresh until as though it's just harvested on the spot~ really..too much to tell...perhaps tell u guys when i'm back...But one thing..I still miss the food in malaysia very much..especially spicy food..haha..all the curry!!!!!! Nasi lemak!!!

Well..have to continue with my work, will update next time!!

Take care my friends~
May u all be happy and well always~


Love,
yee

first week in sydney

Hey people, I arrived in sydney for almost a week already~~~~~
Sorry for not updating...but I guess my laziness of blogging really hit me all the way from malaysia to aussie~
Just a simple description of my first week - so far so good...
I went to the orientation last wednesday to get my enrolment and student ID done, joined a few clubs and got to know some new friends~
The slang here is really different, I guess I will need at least 1 semester to get used to it.
Khar mun and soon yee was so nice meeting me up in my uni on friday and we had lunch together with chor yeng and ter-yi! They made me feel home cause I can finally speak the normal chinese and eng with them~ haha
I'm desperately need a camera man to manage my camera because I didnt even take ANY picture of my uni until now!!!!!!!!! But uni of sydney is really awesome with pretty buildings and soft green grass~
I'm so lazy to continue writing now seriously~ have been writing alot lately...=P
Anyway, I shall hereby thank all my friends who wish me good luck!!!! Thanks for everything that you have done and I really appreciate every moment with you guys!!!!! It's really beyond words that how much you all mean to me!!!!!! =)
It's a bliss knowing all of you, i feel so xin fu when i think of my friends!!! hahaha...
Alright...tomorrow is my first day of uni and i have to wake up early to catch the train!!!
so good night everyone ~

lots of love
chai yee

the season of goodwill

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day!!!!! =)



May the year of tiger will bring us luck, prosperity and most importantly good health so that we have the strength and energy to succeed in everything!!!!! haha!!! Let's work hard together!!!!

Yesterday was the day where everyone in the family went back to our beloved hometown and had reunion dinner together. Before I begin here, honestly I'm still very reluctant to update my blog frequently, or rather not used to it since I really really prefer to talk more than to pen it down. So, I have decided to write something short and simple to summarize all the events.

13 of Feb - Went back to my hometown which is Bahau, Negeri Sembilan. Had a delicious meal with relatives in a restaurant, in fact this was the first time we had our reunion dinner in a restaurant since we wouldnt want to trouble my aunt to cook for so many of us.

- After dinner, had a good chat with my cute cousins and realised that there was a beautiful scenary just behind my ah ma's house.

- At night, war begun with tons of firecrackers that comes with different 'styles', some flew high up, some spinned around the ground, some just simply bombed and gave me a great shock. Conclusion, it was NOISY NOISY NOISY!!!!! The war worsen when it striked 12 o'clock where the neighbourhood welcomed the god of prosperity by making the loudest noise ever.

- Midnight, war of noise continued. While watching CNY show, I helped my dad to sms his friends and colleagues but failed a few times because there were around 100 sms to be sent. In times of frustration, greetings through sms from all my friends did cheer me up and thanks to my wu liao friend that I managed to tahan and finished my 100 sms. =) Not to forget a small dog that squeezed through the grill of my ah ma's house in the middle of the night and ran into me. Most probably he was afraid of the firecrackers and wanted to find an accompany, he kept on licking me and wagging his tail excitedly. It's either he likes me or I smell good. =P

14 Feb - The big day!! Woke up early in the morning and found out that most of my family members were still asleep, so I walked around the neighbourhood myself and enjoyed the fresh air. Planned to help my aunt to prepare breakfast but she had done it ALL by 6am....had a great chat with her..=) Relatives started to fill up ah ma's house and by noon it was so crowded! I love to see so many kids running around, they are just so cute!!!!!

- Once again feel thankful and blissful that I am given such a good family. Really glad to meet all of them before I head to australia NEXT WEEK. I almost cry when my ah ma asked me to take good care of myself and stay strong no matter what happens. Luckily I held my tears because my younger cousins were at there..haha


- As for valentine's day, I am happy this year!! haha!!! Partly it's because I'm still single and yet loneliness didnt find me at all!!!!! Haha..guess i had a great time celebrating CNY! Anyway, I'm 20 this year so I should really get serious about relationship...my relatives even asked me when will I be married...ahahaha...so where's my prince? I'm right here waiting for you~~~

Pictures will be uploaded to facebook soon. I will just upload to my facebook since in my opinion it's a waste of time to upload twice here and there.

That's all about today. It's already in a simplified version yet I still think it's very long, just try to imagine if I put in the full version...

Lastly, best wishes to all of my dear friends and family members!!! Let's spread the joy together and may this world will be better and everyone lived in harmony!!!!!!

oh, and PLEASE SAVE THE TIGERS!!!!!

leaving Malaysia~

I am leaving Malaysia on the 22 of February,
heading to Sydney taking Bachelor of Pharmacy.
Time is passing by,
so quickly that I'm afraid there's not enough time to say goodbye.
Trips, gatherings, farewell parties and etc,
the more I see you all,
the heavier my heart becomes.
During daytime,
we have fun together..
when the night arrives,
my heart sank of loneliness,
tears rolling down gently at first,
and start to pour everytime,
every moment,
when I'm missing all of you.

Homesickness is normal,
For me,
Pre-homesickness works well too.
It's not merely my home,
it's everything here..the land that I was born to,
friends that share the same mother tongue,
friends that I can lean on,
friends that knows me so well
I dont have to hide my flaws.
My family,
the best out of the best,
I cant ask for more...

Missing all of you
makes me really sick,
it's beyond words,
I choose not to continue,
as my eyes will be flooded
sooner or later.

beginning of everything

Hey, i'm back.
It's already 2010.
This year will be a better year, everything will be brand new.
=) let's hope that I will keep this blog alive!!
haha..a proper update is coming soon~

Tough

It's easy to advise people to stay strong, but u cant imagine how hard it is to be strong.
Tough times will eventually mould the vulnerable me to a stronger person? I hope so, because I have no other choice....
Perhaps I will feel better having someone besides me, but it seems that independent is the one that getting closer and closer to me.
And I hope that everything will be fine soon!!!!!!!!!!!

lock and key

Whenever Happy faces a problem so tough that as though there is no solution to it,
When Happy has done something so wrong that he fear that even a single soul knows about it,
He hides, run away from reality and choose to live in a world that is so unreal,
He enjoys staying in that world that provides him with everything he wants,
and everything that he dislikes will just disappear in that world,
a place where his SECRET will be buried beneath the Earth.
He feels so happy and contented that eventually he totally forget about the real world.
He doesnt even want to think about it.
Why?
Because he is afraid.
He is scared that his secret will be revealed one day.
And he thought, 'My life is great now, i dont wanna change it.'
But he is just lying to himself, he cannot accept what befalls him and choose to hide,
One day, he will regret...
Life is all about changes and acceptance,
Let's hope that courage will bring those who are in dismay out fr the fake world,
Let's hope that the strong bonding will help Happy to realise that only true friends backstab you in the front.
And i hope,
it is not too late to say so....

Happiness is a lock in life,
we choose to open it,
sometimes we close it back,
it's all depends on us,
for we are the only key to it.
