It had been, it is and it will be
It had been...
I have finally ended my torturous days of junk food, finger-countable hours of sleep per week, butt pain for sitting too long, endless studying and facing the pile of paper that could bury me alive. I have to admit, I had NEVER EVER studied so hard in my life. I really have to worship Wan Ling; the person who manage to convince me into entering the hell pit this way and seeming enter a deeper hell : 34hours-truce-with-the-Z-monster-to-be-paid-back (I think she is still paying back with interest).
It is...
Speaking of which, now, in my post exam period, I have been moving house, watching anime, dramas, reading novel and preparing to go home. Ha~! I am a busy person aren't I.
I had been watching the Taiwanese Drama "Fated to Love You" by a friend's recommendation and found it really silly at first, but the plot picks up later with a twist. I also have been recommended to watch the Korean variety show, "Let's get married" and managed to watch a few episode via youtube
In facebook, it had really been funny when a group insisting the refund of CIB (Communication in Business), one of our subjects, claiming it to be the most useless subject ever.
It will be...
This Saturday!!! It will be THE DAY!!!! Of MY RETURN!!!! MUHAHAHA!!! BEWARE ALL!! CHERYL IS COMING BACK TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! Haha!! Yes, I am sure it is pretty obvious that I have be craving to back in Singapore
Sadly to say, not all for holidaying. It will be summer school for me, in Singapore's Curtin University. I am pretty curious how the Singapore's one look. I shall only be taking two subjects though.
Anyway, till we meet again! Adios!!!

Assignments and Laser Tag
Some assignment had been ridiculously annoying.... I mean this time wasting subject called "Communication In Business" is a total waste of time. They teaches you stuff like Mind maps, how to look for books in the library and such. It also has an annoyingly time consuming project that requires you to write a 800 word report on doing business in India, with referencing. It seems pretty easy right? 800 words?
The problem is that the main idea of the report is you must find books to back up or contradict ideas from other sources, use a lot of "BIG" words and the worst part is REFERENCING!!! The horrors of the horrors I tell you!! You will be required to seek the publisher, place and year of publishing, issue and page and stuff related for EVERY SINGLE BOOK YOU HAVE USED~~~!! That is almost every concept or idea you have write; which is to say every sentence. Here is how you will look like:
Anyway, I FINALLY went out!!! WEEEEE~~~! MIRACLE!!!! HALLELUJAH~! It was an laser tag event by our housing! It was really fun but tiring. I swear I will never let Jin Hao to "cover me" again.... he disappeared halfway.... We were divided into 3 teams (RED, BLUE, YELLOW) and brought to this very dark room which was like a maze.
It started with each team being at their respective base and the aim was to run to the opponent's base to fire at their base's core (a round thingy at the corner) green lights thrice. If you get shot, you will be unable to fire for about 8seconds. There are lights and indicators on the vest to show which team you belong to, but will go off upon getting shot.
We ended up crawling, sneaking and lying (I told another guy "same team!" when my lights was off.... then shot him when I "revived".... *Evil Grins~*) !! I have seriously wished that all you guys from Poly where there to play too~! It would have been fun as the real Live CS!

Even if the cold rain soaks my cheeks
the water drops that fall from the petals overlap with you
If that is what you can call light
the radiance won't lose its colour
no matter how much it is stained
Ah, the feeling of wanting to vanish
this is not the end
so that I cannot erase the sad memories
In the eyes that resisted tears
collect a light that is more beautiful than anything else
Let's walk beyond the clouds
After the rain, a rainbow will appear
When I listen carefully, I can hear a pulse
I gently scold my that this is nothing to throw away
Grasp my hand and shake the dust off
You should see it, too
That today is a now that's different from yesterday
Ah, like standing still from only one wound
Throw such luxurious hopes away here
Everyone is picturing a bridge of hope
in their hearts within the darkness
When the rain lifts, it arrives in the sky
Let's believe in our dreams and go
Continue to scream until and let your vocice get hoarse
I can only repay by keeping on struggling [?]
It looks like you can grasp it, like you won't reach it
that light is the answer
The tears that soak your cheeks are a single line of radiance
No need to be frightened
So that everyone can see a rainbow
We live, in the frozem darkness
When the rain lifts, it arrives in the sky
Let's believe in our dreams and go
Let's believe in our dreams and go

The time have come for HOILDAYYYYSSSS!
Ok.... I am NOT dead.... just lazy and busy..... what do you expect from a person who is in post exam mode and not able to go home and not to mention being abandon by friends going home (How could they!!! T-T)? Ok... quick update on what had happened for the past week...
Visited Frementle (in howling wind and nearly killed us), Kings park, had steam boat (I gotta love the PS2) and a birthday party, attempted knitting (I believe it was not a bad attempt for a 1st timer) .... went for blood donation (needles!!) and going to sand surfing on Tuesday...
OOOooo and finally, watched Transformers 2 yesterday!! So COOOOLL!! >.<>

An update
"Rusted cage broke seemingly from within, compelling its captive to lurch out as the delicate reddish-brown frame collapsed under the pressure. Had that been a sanctuary or a prison? One could no longer tell. The trail ahead appeared to be seething with darkness, effulged by shadows of the unknown. But there is no longer a path to return. Like blind man, stumbling and franticly clawing to seek the last of the light as it flickered and was no more. Perhaps then, he had stayed in here for too long..."
I had an interesting lesson on marketing using unconventional means.

Lifestyle & Kuroshitsuji
One thing i can say about lifestyle in Australia is that i find the people living here do not take meeting seriously. I mean it gets REALLY annoying when people don't turn up for group meetings and when one tries to contact them, they give ridiculous excuses like "Wasn't it on Saturday?" or not answer the phone. It have already happened 4times with 2 different group already, so don't tell me it was just coincidental! With team mates MIA throughout projects, it is amazing we are even close to finishing it.
I have been reading Kuroshitsuji's manga. It is pretty amusing and addictive. Demon butler, egoistic kid, bunch of evil noblemen, death gods, pastries, curry and not to mention the dark plot lurking at the background.The drawings for it are pretty good too!

Penguin Island
Visited Penguin Island on Thursday. It was a really beautiful place. Lemme show you some pictures~!
Today there was Easter celebration. I was invited by some friend to this carnival. Though we had to sit though 1hour of erm... Churchy thingy... and some people were dancing like they were possessed... There was a guy whose life story was soooo movie like! His name is Tony Anthony. Half Italian, half Chinese (weird combo!). Raised in China, 3 times Kung Fu champion. Worked as an elite bodyguard for rich and powerful. Fall in love with blind law student. She died in car crash. Lost himself to anger. Killed unnecessarily. Thrown to jail. Talked to a pastor who converted him.Haha! Drama right? The carnival itself was fun (It was free! XD) where there quite a few games and stuff.

Last weekend, I went for ice skating. It was much colder and bigger than the one in Singapore. Furthermore, there were occasional optional game of tag and changing of skating direction. It was pretty fun trip.
Anyway, I felt some of you guys might interested in my flats' "Sunday-get-together-dinner" where most of us cook a dish(or rice) and have dinner. Yup! The pictures at the bottom are two of the dinner spread we had!
Ok! Busy weeks ahead with 3 major group projects dued soon and 2 individual ones so Cya next time round!

Flat 16's Birthday party.
Management project had not and will not be easy. I had been doing research on expansion of an Australian company to India (And why India of ALL places? I don’t know either. It seems like my lecturer chose it on a whim.). I had to research on their taxes, laws and stuff like that and this report is dued in a week. Marketing and economics had required a LOT of reading. I had to read like 3 reports, journals and articles on those. It seriously took a long time.
Me and my 2 other house mate decided to make an Ice-cream cake for my house mate’s birthday, while Kai (Our housing assistant) make 2 types of pasta. It was really funny when the ice cream kept melting as soon as it took it out from the fridge. In the end, we had to work with the freezer’s door opened in the middle of the night. It was really fun and we watch “Babylon AD” (What a horribly, senseless show).

Week 1 over and done with
My Economics tutor was pretty fun. When we went to the class, to our surprise, he said, “Welcome to physiotherapy class 1! I hope you are in the right class!” At this point, a few people started packing up. “Oh! What class are you suppose to be taking?”, “Erm, econs?”, “Oh well, I guess we can do that too…”
My managing lecturer was interesting too! On the other hand… my tutor was…lets see… boring is a little of an understatement… Though there was this guy who is SO obviously a playboy in my class. I was talking to these 2 pretty girls who were seated next to me when he hurried to the front and started talking to them. When my other friend and I were talking to him or asking stuff, he kinds of ignores us and only talks to those girls. Somehow, this situation half annoyed and at the same time amused me.
As for accounting lecture, the only thing I remember is desperately trying to copy the notes before the slides were changed. Marketing lecturer was a facts person… I would wait a few more lessons before commenting.
Anyway, Gwen and I finally gotten a Laser printer at $65. It was sold out so fast that we had to go to the shopping mall 3 days in arrow before getting it. I was on the verge of giving up on it and getting a multi function ink one for $59.

Still Bored
Today we had a bit of a lecture on saving money and stuff then had this housing meeting for all new residence. Well… The pizza and prawns were good….
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Free food!
Nothing much to do back here. Had been reading my marketing textbook. There are so much words and it took me so long to reach page 17(the text were very small and plentiful OK?! Hmph!). Although I had wanted to complete the chapter. I decided to stop and continue another day... Pizza here cost $5 every Tuesday(Medium size in Singapore standard). So I had one with Gwen.
Do you know MacDonald here are very interesting. A regular meal will only give you a small drink and fries... We were so surprised when we saw the cup.
The student guild here is CRAZY! I mean $99.95 for 1year of guild membership?!? SIAO LA!

Orientation: Day 6
At first, we went to the winery and tasted some red and white wine. I think it was a mistake to try the 18% one first, because I felt the rest were too blend later. The wine’s prices were pretty reasonable like $14 to $35 for the average on ones. Next we went to the chocolate factory. We did not get to really see the making of chocolates but still the chocolates were really nice. We then realize it was Valentines Day. We bought some chocolate and then headed off to the next stop. The wildlife park. We saw and fed kangaroos, petted koalas and wombats and more. Then we went to the Hillary Harbour and went to the aquarium. I think Singapore’s Underwater world is better other than the fact that this had an outdoor area. We then went for some fish and chips which tasted horrible! After rushing to so many places, we were rather drained.
Anyway, I might sign up for this internet plan that does not belong to school. It is a 2 year plan costing $39 per month, giving you 6GB every month. Further more, it uses an internet key, thus wireless! The flaw with this plan? 10cents charge with every MB exceeded.

Orientation: Day 5
I think throughout the whole trip to the city, the most fascinating thing was a random, high-tech TOILET just by the road. The door had a side panel which open as you touch it and the door itself was like a lift’s door. It was pretty clean and there is even MUSIC when you enter it. I think there was a button to put the toilet seat down too! The funniest thing was that there was a sign that says that there was a 10 minute time limit per use… I wonder what will happen if you over exceed the time… LOL! Anyway, while this bunch of “swau-ku” Singaporeans were fascinated by the toilet, the Australians were pretty much staring at us….
Next we went to a factory outlet where they sell Adias, Nike, Billabongs and more a cheap prices. I had gotten myself a pretty decent Roxy windbreaker for $69. Then we went to one of my friend’s house to exchange some movies and drama. Though his rent was much more expensive, it was a really beautiful apartment. We also met his mum, auntie and room mate.
Later at night, we had a housing party for people staying at Kurrajong Village. We met many international friends, which I unfortunately don’t remember half the names. I had fun playing beach volleyball which I am really bad at since I keep missing the ball and sinking into the sand. And I also chat with many people including people from Germany, U.S, Australians, and more. Oh well, of course there some people (mainly Australians) who keep “tao-ing” us… but mostly they are pretty friendly.
Thursday, February 12, 2009
Orientation: Day 4
After that, erm, well, didn't do much other than walk around. Though we had a free Kabab dinner and watched Wall-e again. Today, there was also a graduation ceremony and there were really pretty fireworks. There was a change of plans and I shall be going Perth city instead of Fremantle tomorrow.Lets hope we don't get lost. Did you know trains here change destination randomly? My friend took a train and there was a sudden announcement that they are going to change train destination! Weird isn't it? We shall go visit Fremental next week.
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Orientation: Day 3
There was a free BBQ tonight and as fellow Singaporeans, of course we will attend. Pasta, potatoes, chicken wings and sausages. The laundry here cost $2.20 per wash. Ridiculous price isn’t it? I am still dying from “Internet deprivation” but in today’s shopping, I gotten a sketchbook~~~! Luvs~! I also saw this internet booth that cost $2 every 20 minutes. Guys, grovel to LAN shops in Singapore.
Anyway, this Friday the five of us (Sinaporeans) are going to Fremantle to take a walk. And on Saturday, we join a school tour (which is unfortunately NOT free) to Caversham Wildlife park, Sandalford Winery, Margaret Chocolate Company, Hillary Boat’s Harbour and the Aquarium. Yep, I am finally leaving the campus grounds.
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Orientation: Day 2
Anyway, day 2 of orientation and still get lost. Today we had a talk about building connection and I skip the next one which was about driving rules and such. Temperature is really high here at roughly 36 degrees. Tomorrow it is suppose to go up to 39 or something. Though it is hot here, you hardly get to sweat as cool wind still blows which is kind of weird. No matter what, I was half baked today and I will definitely be back tomorrow as I have some compulsory international student thingy tomorrow. GA! I have been putting sun block lotion and moisturizer. It is really troublesome.
We finally understand why Kai, our Singaporean housing assistant, was so happy with the fact that there we going to be 5 girls and 3 guys. TOILETS! GA! Now there are only 4 girls but toilets usage in the morning is really troublesome… Lucky the last girl is taking her masters…
After attempting using my webcam for the 1st time, I swear I would not use it again. I might borrow my friend’s in-built webcam though. I mean just about 5 min 90mb is not a joke for me already…. Let me show you my currently internet changes.
24hrs – 200MB - $12
1mth – 500MB - $29
3mth – 1500MB -$72
6mth – 3000MB - $140
You can add data which you can bring forward if you have not use finished the data. (HAHA! Cannot finish?)
5000MB - $30
10 000MB - $48
20 000MB - $84
Ga! Where the hell are all my unlimited plans!!!!

Cheryl Have Landed...
Here is a short update on what is happening after the squeezing of 30kg of clothes into a luggage. LOL! I have finally reach here is one piece. Internet here is VERY expensive so i won't be online much. If you wanna talk to me, just send me an email or the tagbox here. I might consider uploading images but $30 for 500Mb of internet is no funny... I even turn off image loading. Ugh! I am gonna die with my beloved internet soon. P.s. This place is Over run with asians!!!
I have pretty much settled down in my room. The campus is pretty big.... in terms of land. The buildings are scattered all over the place and we got lost quite a few times. There are quite a few shops and a supermart just across the road. Generally the chicken and seafood products are expensive But the beef and lamb products are cheaper. Newspaper here is VERY expensive, costing $2.50 per paperHere my room mates have 3 guys and 5 girls. 4of them are seniors, and the other 2 are malaysians. But now the rest have not arrive yet.
