What your birthdate means...

Your Birthdate: February 9

Your birth on the 9th day of the month adds a tone of idealism and humanitarianism to your nature. You become one who can work easily with people because you are broadminded, tolerant and generous. You are ever sensitive to others' needs and feelings, and you are very sympathetic and compassionate. Your feeling run deep and you often find yourself in dramatically charged situations. This 9 energy always tends to give more that it gets.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Hmm.. Quite true...

Blue Mountains: Echo Point / 3 Sisters

Part 2 of Blue Mountains!This time i went to Echo Point and visited the 3 sisters.
(In case you don't know what the '3 Sisters' are, they're 3 'pillars' of rocks that symbolises 3 aborigine sisters. Why? Eh.. i forgot the reason and story, sorry...)


At Echo Point...
(If you were to shout across the valley, your voice would be echoed back... duh?!? Stupid comment by me...)
Vast valley of greens...
(if i were to go in, i'll probably get lost within the first 5 minutes...)

3 Sisters!
I can use this as a postcard.
: )

Closer look at the 3 Sisters...
(How they look like sisters i'm not too sure about that...)

Appearance of a rainbow!
How lucky can you get? A rainbow over the 3 Sisters
(In fact 2 rainbows appeared, you can see the post below if you don't believe...)
Well, that's all for now... I've to start studying soon.

Cya and bye...

Third week of life in Sydney...

Well, it's the third week that i'm in Sydney, Australia

It's a totally different lifestyle that i would normally lead if i were in Singapore...

In case you don't know, i'm living all alone by myself in Sydney. Big adjustments have to be made to the way i live. I've to fend for myself in this big unfamiliar city. I also have to act more responsibly and not side-track too much from my purpose here. My purpose? To get my Aerospace Engineering Degree. It's an awfully long 4 years time before that happens however, and i can't possibly guarantee nothing would happen that will shift my focus away, but here's hoping that nothing happens throughout my 4 years here.

Leaving behind friends and family and the comfort of home, i've to build everything up from scratch in an unfamiliar environment. It's hard to do so in the beginning for anyone i'd say, me included. But it helps if you have friends there as i have. It just smoothes the transition of leaving your hometown and settling in another place.

Reaching Sydney, here's a recap of what i've done to keep myself busy...
(Tour of sydney excluded as i've covered it previously)

The first thing i've got to look for is a place which i could stay in. That i gladly say i've done. It's in a quiet neighbourhood around 10 minutes away from school by bus, 30 minutes if i walk. Facilities? 2 beds, a toilet, a fridge and a wardrobe. Kitchen and laundry facilities are shared commodities. Price? A$125 a week, excluding electricity and telephone bills. Seems like a bargain right? Where can you find a place in Sydney that offers such a price? Well, i'm staying in one right now. But there's a catch. The building itself is more than 25 years, and some of the appliances might act cranky, eg. my fridge; it's freezing up whatever i put inside. Now how do you eat your cereal if the milk you're suppose to use is frozen??? Another thing about this area is it's accessibility. Buses here run pass every half hour, so if you miss one, good luck to you k? But i don't intend to stay here throughout my 4 years though... I intend to move to a bigger or better place once this 6 month lease finishes. But all in all, i'm glad that i've a shelter over my head.

The next thing i've to settle is food. I've 2 options, i could either cook or i could have takeaways everytime. Guess which i chose? I chose the middle option... Middle? Yup, that is to cook or order takeaways as and when i wish. It's easier this way. Of course my aim is to cook my meals 50% of the time. But it's kinda hard to do when lessons end at 6pm in 3 of the days i spent in University. (I'm too tired from all the mind boggling lectures i have this week..)

The last is getting contacts. Well, lessons have started and i've gotten some contacts. Some are classmates while others are seniors in different faculties. Not much to begin with, but it'll improve as time goes on. (Hey, i've 4 years here)

Well, today, is the end of the first week of Unversity life. There's only lectures in the first week, nothing much to do for tutorials at all. However, i can say it's really tough to keep up with what they're teaching. Concepts long forgotten are being dug up and thrown at you. Imagine having to figure out how force vectors work, how to calculate the magnitude of a vector... That's stuff i'd learnt 3-4 years ago. And the worst thing: it goes even further than that, They're reintroducing stuff i've learnt 6 years ago... Truely madness... If only i did not go for National Service...

To the girls: you're very lucky as you needn't spend time in National Service. You can go to university right after graduating from junior college or polytechnic.

To the guys: We're the most unlucky people in the world; having waste 2 years 2 months in National Service learning things we'll never apply in the University... (I mean; learning how to march, saluate and strip a rifle, how do you apply that in the University??? Maybe the concept of stripping is the most useful stuff learnt???)

Anyway, things have to progress somehow or rather. National Service or not, i won't let it affect me. I've got to buckle up and push on no matter what.

Well, thats all for now.

Cheerios and cya...

Sydney: Blue Mountains; Wentworth Falls

Well, i've decided to upload the pictures of my trip for you to see...
But there're alot and i'm only using a 56K modem, so i can only do it in parts...
So here's part one of the trip to Blue Mountains: Wentworth Falls...
There's only a few pics i took, so don't be too disapponted k??

Cool... Everything looks beautiful from here... Here's the left side of the valley...

Couldn't squeeze everything inside... And here's the right side of the valley.


The stupid guy who has to go Sydney to study Aerospace Engineering when they're offering it in Singapore...


Hey! A waterfall!!! Wonder if i can go closer for a look...


This is as close i can get... I've got a fear of heights...


Well, that's some of the pics i took for Wentworth Falls... I did not thoroughly explore the whole of Wentworth, so apologies if you think there's too little pictures...

Wahaha.. I'm BACK!!!

Hello people!!!

Miss me??

Phew... I finally got everything up and running in my apartment...

Oh... in case you didn't know...

I'm in Australia!

It's been too long, i'd agree... Hope all of you didn't think that my plane crashed and i died without anyone knowing...

Truth is, i couldn't find a place to use the internet the whole of last week...

Sorry if i made all of you worry...

Anyway, i went touring in the whole of Sydney... Up the mountains, down the ocean...

Next time if you were to visit me, maybe i can bring you around eh??

But just in case you don't believe that i've gone to sydney... Here's some pictures of the places i've gone.

Enjoy!

1st Stop: Blue Mountains

Went to see the 3 sisters at Echo point...

That's when a rainbow appear!!!

Now how do you beat that! 2 rainbows appearing at one time!!!

Next stop: Jenolan Caves (Went to see the limestone formations)



Be careful.. if not you'll knock your head...

3rd stop: Opera House and Habour bridge

Doesn't look that great upfront...

Here's a better view...

Habour Bridge!

It costs A$185 to climb the Habour Bridge... Did not go in the end because rushing for time... And the climb's 3.5 hours, mind you...

Well, that's all i have... (Actually i had lots more... Just that i'm lazy to upload...)

I'll miss you guys!!!

Well, went for 2 class gatherings in the past 2 weeks...
Reason?
Me and Qirong's going to the land of Oz!
Not holiday, mind you...
But studies!
Well here are the pics of my class in jc... (well most of them are here)

Guess which is me and which is Qirong?

Next are my kakis from secondary sch! SAS if you wanna know which sec sch i came from...

Bunch of 帅哥's don't you think? All are working; earning some extra income before going Uni... Well, except for me of course. I'm a super slacker!

Not!

Reason?

I'm leaving in a few days time, couldn't find any work... (No one wants to hire me... I'm so sad...)

And the other reason is...

I've yet to finish packing my stuff!

Well...

To my friends.. I'll miss you all!!!

Something to ponder about

In case you're wondering...
I've found the perfect job for those racers wannabes out there.
Yup, it's perfectly legal and you'll be respected.
What job would it be?
Haha...
Make a guess...
No?
It's being a police officer!
Not convinced?
It's perfectly true!
Which job places you in the situation where if you were to speed, other motorists wouldn't complain about you? In fact, they would give way to you!
The assumption most people have when they see a police car speeding would be "There's an emergency and the police officers need to get there fast"
That's it, no further questions asked.
Well, how's that for a job, being able to speed legally and commanding respect from the people for attending to emergencies that they themselves are unable to resolve...
But suppose there isn't any emergency in the first place and the police car is speeding...
Is it right to do that?
I've seen police cars speeding and their red/blue lights ain't flashing and the alarms ain't howling...
Is there an emergency which warrants the police to travel at a much higher speed and not use the alarm?
Or is the police officer just plainly speeding and not giving not much thought because he is the enforcer of law and as such, there wouldn't be any repercussions from the public at all?
Reason it being: If they're the enforcer of law, what they are doing must be legal and they have the right to do that.
To speed blatantly when there's no emergency... For a police office to be doing that, does it still constitutes to him/her not adhering to the rules and regulations of the road?
Next is my question...
Can the traffic police catch other police for speeding?
Hmm... Real interesting...
I wonder...

ps: I'm not encouraging you to join the police just so you can speed... You join because you want to help people and uphold the law...

No eye surgery!!!

Hmm.. wondering what's this post about?

Eye surgery?

What's wrong with my eyes?

Well... Nothing's wrong with my eyes. It's my eyelids; my right eyelid. There's a small lump inside; kinda like a pimple, just that it's inside my eyelid. Went to the doctors for an evaluation today, second visit btw. The doctor asked if i really want to cut out that lump as per requested in the previous visit. Of course i wanted so... But in the end, instead of consulting 1 doctor, i consulted 3 doctors. (Wow, i'm a somebody, able to warrant so much attention from 3 eye doctors, all females ;P) All of them had the same answer when i said i wanted to remove the lump, " It's too small, and even if i were to make a cut to remove the lump, there isn't anything much to remove in the end at all..." (Why are they dissuading me from removing that lump!!!) The third doctor even quoted, "If you were to cut it out, the eyelid's structure would be damaged..." as a last deterrant.

Hai... No choice then...

I agreed not to have it removed. It's too small to be of any hindrance anyway, in my opinion. In actual fact, the lump couldn't be seen at all, it could only be felt by.

So much for the hope of having double eyelids lol... (Even though it'll only be my right eye...)

Anyway, while waiting in line to pay the consultant fees, i saw a small little incident. A middle-aged man walked up to the registration counter and complained loudly why does he have to wait so long for for the doctor when he has already made an appointment. If they're going to provide this kind of service, he'll rather not see the doctor at all. With that, he threw his queue ticket on the desk and left. All this while, the person at the registration was trying to explain to him that his turn would be coming up soon and if he have any grievances, he could hilight it to the doctor. But just as she said finish, that guy left.

All i can say about that guy is: What a loser... Everybody's waiting in line for their appointment with the doctor. And here's somebody who thinks he's that special and hence needs immediate attention when he goes for his appointment. Well, i've waited around 45 minutes for my appointment and had gotten it. And guess what, that guy waited for less than half an hour and he's complaining. Well, if you don't like the waiting time, please, don't see a doctor. For a person of you age, i'd expect you to be more mature and patiently wait for your turn.

Oops, i'm wrong... you are the most immature as compared to the rest of the patients. (Most of the patients were aged over 60 btw... Seems that the older you are, the more eye problems you'll have) That could be the reason why you'll kick such a big fuss.

Some advice for you, loser: If you can't wait, don't go to places that makes you wait in the first place. Why go, if you can't wait?

Hope your eyes rot and drop out, dude...

ps: The longest i've to wait? Let me see, i went at 0930, i finished at 1145. Wow! 2hr 15min! I spent my time sleeping there lol...
