It’s Show Time! ^^

Have not had much things to do recently. Not much good news on job hunting side, plus market is slowing down. Rain don’t feel like stepping out of the house. Too sunny also don’t feel like stepping out of the house. I really don’t like this pace of doing nothing but just nua-ing but at the same time I do not want to get myself involve in any part time job first because once work starts official, I will not have such free time to myself again. So, I will not complain for my nua-ness

Received a surprised card from Clara!

It’s a lovely little card from Korea which has a handmade hanbok in front! Really nice! She say will bring me around Korea if I go. I need to save! I want to go Korea at the end of next year! Anyone want to join me

Anyway, starting watching lots of shows. Alright, I shall give some reviews just like what Our Mr. “K-pop King” (you know who you are ) did in his blog you know, I always enjoy reading your blog because I feel like reading your blog I will always see surprise on the things you blog. haha. Anyway, I always get inspiration on what show to watch next based on his review. So far so good. So.. here’s mine.

Forensic Heroes III

I give it full stars! I really enjoy watching such police, forensic, pyschology kind of shows (other than romance). It just keep me going and keep me thinking what’s going to happen next. Who is the murderer. Most importantly, I get to see all the latest technology used for solving these crimes! I seriously think its damn awesome!

Cinderella Step sister

Everyone told me its a very nice show. I must watch it. I will enjoyed it but actually this show doesn’t give me the feeling of wanting to watch more, carry on to the next episode. I tried my best to continue but I stopped at the 7 episode because I really don’t like the story.

City Hunter

I really fall in love with Lee Min Ho after watching this. He’s just so cute! ^^ This show is about 20 heroes who died because the government wants to achieve personal gain and how a revenge was planned out 28 years later. It really kept me going, every single episode.  I give it full star! haha. I also fell in love with this song while watching.

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me!

It’s over by 3 hours 41 minutes now. A very peaceful birthday this year. The first one who celebrated with me was Marco because he will be away to Hong Kong to visit his family during my actual day. Suppose to go to a steak house for “candle-lited” dinner with wine but thank god he didnt make any reservation and I didnt want to wait so we had my favourite korean food It was a great meal, really good and full one.

Okay, back to B-day.. I only received one birthday cake this year and its from ei8hT unlike previous year where there was at least 3 but I was still happy because this year was spent the most meaningful to me. ei8hT gave me an early surprise by locking me inside the toilet and I must say I was caught really unexpected! <3 ya girls so much for the surprise! Since I came back from Aussie, lots of time spent with family.. for all previous year, I have never join them for any christmas countdown but this year I celebrated with my family together with my friends and it turns out awesome. Everyone had great fun! My birthday this year was also with siblings with sis treat to dim sum buffet and ended off by visiting ah gong at the hospital. Thanks sis for the treat and thanks jie fu for the earlier treat to the penang restaurant! ^^ I reckon for new year countdown, I will also spent it at home with my family though pei lin invited to go Timbre for countdown but I really dislike crowded places now adays.. I dont know why =x anyway, it might be a good thing.

Job hunting hasnt been good.. got rejected on the third assessment so its time to pull up my socks and starts hunting again! It’s okay to go slow! Jia You Maggie

What Job do you want?

It’s the job hunting period and its not easy at all. It’s not about taking up any jobs that’s available because there is plenty of random jobs around. You can’t take up a job that don’t fit you too. Let’s say for me, I can’t be desk-bound. I can’t just sit in the office straight 8 hours (except meal times) and face the computer. I can’t stand doing documentations repeatly every day. I can’t work in a job that don’t offers me any challenges. Very mafan hor. Yes I know but its always good to think properly before committing yourself so that you will be happier isn’t it?

My priority on my job hunt is to get a place in A.P.Moller or some say Maersk, the world largest shipping line. It’s everyone dream in the maritime field to work in this company. Did three rounds of assessment already, 2 weeks later I will know if I am shortlisted for the final round. Good luck to me ^^ 

If my priority fails, I will try other shipping lines too and if all that fails, I will go for what interest me which have completely no link with what I am studying now. I will apply for a place in the…

Yes. You did not see wrong. It’s a career in the police force. I want to apply as an analyst in the SPF. I have checked all the criteria and I fit it and most importantly, there’s an opening now. If I get the job, I will use my imagination to link up all the evidences and try to think of all possibility of the case! Challenging and interesting job isn’t it! ^^

What about you?

Singapore thus far

It has been about a week since I came back. Everything still look the same. I have not experience the very packed train that everyone was complaining about before I came back.. probably because I have not taken a train during the peak hour yet.. but i did experience train drivers that stepped on the E break suddenly and caused me to almost “FLY”.. lolx.. Everything is fine except that I’m still not quite used to the weather thou I know I have been staying here all my life and only been to Aussie for a short 10 months but I don’t know why.. before I went Aussie, there’s some problem with my body system.. I can’t perspire.. no matter how hot the weather is, how much I run.. I can still be as dry as ever.. but this time round, my body seems to be normal already.. I can perspire like any other person.. and sometimes I get so irritated by it because it made me so sticky.. Maybe the problem dont lies with me but the weather has worsen.. I’m not sure.. but one thing for sure.. everytime I say out how I feel frankly, people will think that I am looking down on Singapore and will answer me: ‘Go back to Australia la’. It’s like really irritating.. althou I like my life in Australia.. I have never dislike Singapore too.. just that I tends to compare now since I have been elsewhere before.. You will see a difference.. it’s different when you are out there in that country to tour.. you see different things.. and yes, if I have a chance, I will go back because I love my life there.. no need to get involve in family gatherings (which I hate most), no need to see relatives that compare so much (aiyo.. got interview ah, means no job yet la).. no need to see relatives that comment so much (how come you still so fat.. how come no boyfriend yet).. no need to be with family that says why you keep cooking korean food.. we dont like to eat.. why you cook so much vegetables.. we dont eat vegetables.. why this.. why that.. you think what.. I’m your maid ah.. no need to handle KPO neighbours (go out ah.. go with who.. go where and the next thing everyone in that neighbour knows what you are doing) f**k off my life okay.. you guys like to poke your fingers so much into others life.. go and care more for your own children, grandchildren and family can.. idiots.. never mind.. I can’t really be bothered anymore.. I know my mates from Aussie will understand me best..

Anyway, has met up with a few people.. met up with ITE clique at Hong Yi ROM.. time really flies.. the day that I left for Tassie, she just broke off with WK and in this short 10 months time she has found the one that she wants to live with for this life time. I’m happy for her and respect her decision. All the best my friend! As for the rest of the clique.. they are still the same.. nothing much I have to comment. I also met up with marco and he’s now a lecturer in Singapore. The first thing he told me was: “Why didnt you take the initative to call me when you reach Singapore” lolx.. I didn’t really answer his question but isn’t it obvious? haha.. the first person you contact would definitely be someone who is most dearest to you.. lolx… I also met up with half of VEERA and they say I changed alot.. changed to very open and good drinker.. lolx.. did I? haha… I dont know myself.. and not forgetting my mates from Tassie.. meet up with them for supper and meals with their partner.. It’s so nice to be back here with them! ^^

Other than catching up with friends.. I also went job hunting.. sent out 11 resumes which includes the top broker firm in Asia and the world biggest shipping line.. no news from any yet and I’m not really optimistic about it because new year and bonus is coming.. people will usually only leave after they get their bonus. In addition, the maritime line has been feeling the hit in the industry now.. which makes job hunting even more competitive. I was thinking.. maybe I should sign up for some short course first since I am so free.. maybe take up a new language? What you guys suggest?

Back Home

Finally, I’m back home safely. Travelling around to Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney has ended off my Aussie journey well. Everyone asked me how am I feeling, excited, happy or sad. Frankly speaking, I don’t feel much landing in Singapore. Just like any other trip. Rather, I am actually missing that quiet and boring Tasmania. Haha.. How irony right.

Let’s talk about my trip first. It was a really awesome one thanks to the company from Jia ying Met many different kinds of people from all over the world from Scotland, Sweden, Germany, China, Brazil, Mexico, USA, etc! They are all really nice people other than one or two exception. After staying in all the backpackers hostel, my own bed is still of the most comfortable. lolx.

To be frank, if I have a chance to go abroad to start my career, I think I will go. I kind of like my own life overseas where I don’t have to face those rich and sarcastic relatives that’s always trying to pull you down no matter how well you are doing. Somewhere where I can get my own car and drive around freely without the worry of paying an estimated $76,000 of COE. I don’t have to face people asking when you getting a boyfriend, when you getting a job, why you get this job, this job is terrible.. nothing of such if I were to live overseas. In aussie, even a plumber or cleaner is seen as a prestige job. Why can’t people in Singapore do the same too I really don’t understand. Anyway, I just don’t like living in the same place as all these “San Gu Liu Po” and people of the same kind.

Urhh.. and its time to get a boyfriend.. where to find? hahaha.. anyone intro me one? lolx!

The Chapter Close

10 months.. another chapter of my life closes. The end of my university life – the end of my studies journey.. out to the world full of politics, full of fake people, full of ‘danger’.. Sent the 4th person to the airport this week and I’m left with 2 more days here..

Was chatting with my korean friends before they left and they were telling me the first time they saw me.. they could remember the shirt i’m wearing, my hairstyle, everything.. we talked and they cried.. It makes me feel sad too.. Tassie, a place that I never thought I would end up with but still I came.. Let’s refresh some memory..

My Very First:

• First time waking up at 3am in the morning, driving almost 3 hours plus to watch the sunrise
• First time driving through fog
• First time driving at 140km/hr
• First time washing a toilet
• First time washing and drying my own clothes
• First time drinking so much in my life
• First time seeing and tasting snow
• First time seeing double rainbows and many many rainbows
• First time seeing shooting stars
• First time stealing abalone
• First time fishing with fishes home
• First time not sleeping 36 hours to rush assignment
• First time finish studying every single page of a textbook

The most sadest thing this week was I bid goodbye to him.. didn’t manage to get any hug, just a hand shake because there are others around.. I know jolly well I wont be his favourite hello and hardest goodbye thou he said that he will come singapore to work 5 years later after he finishes his national service.. as much as I would like to believe.. my brain works over my heart and say no.. lolx.. because he didnt kept his bibimbab promise.. so disappointing but i still know that no matter what, life goes on.. If the right one were to come, it will come.

Just 2 more days and I’m heading off for my graduation trip.. the past week, I’ve thought alot.. actually just like every other friends here.. I’m also having mixed feeling about going home.. I can finally understand the feeling and the decision made by students studying overseas about not wanting to go home.. I understand it completely now.. It’s definitely not like what everyone is saying that the grass is greener at the other side.. It’s because things are no longer  the same anymore.. the kind of freedom that you have.. the kind of personal space you have.. the kind of life you wants to lead without telling or reporting to anyone… the kind of independence that you have already got used to.. I’m deciding to rent a hse when I get a job when I’m back in Spore.. I hope I have not reach the point of no return…

F.A.T.E.

In the mist of revising for my paper on saturday and this thought suddenly came to my mind: 缘分真会做弄人.. haiz.. The more I think, the more ridiculous it gets.. lolx..

You know, I never had any impression of him or seeing him before even when I’m pretty good at recognising people faces. Within this week, so many things ‘appear’ to show what is really 有缘无分.. I saw a photo that he was being tagged recently.. the first thing that came to me was: IT’S HIM! I remember seeing the back of this shirt last semester.. it left a deep impression in my mind because there were wordings on the collars and you can only see the wordings if you pull up your collar.. and at that time, I only got to see the back and I thought that’s such a wierd shirt with such wierd design.. thou I never get to see the person wearing it.. I only know he’s a korean. That was the first time we met. Then when I found out where he stay, it was one of the house that I will pass by whenever I take shortcuts home last semester. We might have missed each other tens and tens and tens of times. Yesterday, while studying together, he talked about one of the units that he took last semester. Guess what, I have that unit too.. he attended 60% of the class and I only attended the other 40% that he didnt attend, and once again we didn’t get to meet each other. Isn’t this funny.. lolx.. Finally, we got to meet each other officially through a friend’s birthday. That was when he formally introduced himself to me and said that he already know who I am long ago. That very first night that we speak, he said to me, I’m like an angel. I feel really awkward and embarrased for someone who sees me for the first time to say this but I was happy. After that official meeting, we had more meetings. We went for road trips together, study together, go fishing together, etc.. now.. I have not done anything. I regret meeting him so late but everything is so redundant now.. we’ll be going our own separate ways in 2 weeks time… I should just forget him.. bless me and wish me all the best in passing this difficult stage

我变了

我变了…  曾今我是一个很 ‘直’ 的人.. 如果我不喜欢你我就不会去和你说话或理会你.. 但是经过这八个月的风风雨雨… 我变了.. 我可以对着一个我不喜欢的人笑, 说话, 出门.. 并且觉得相处的时间久 , 对他的讨厌也就担担不见了… 难到这就所为的成长吗?

从前的我 – 不能忍受吵闹, 皮气也很差, 动不动就生气骂人, 只要是我绝得对的都要人们听我的, 从来都不听他人的话… 现在这些东西也随着岁月慢慢流矢了…  现在的我可以很虚伪的面对不喜欢的人.. 这到底是好事还是坏事呢..

Time is running out

Daylight Savings ~

Daylight savings just ended yesterday and I’m still pretty amazed by how it actually works!

10 months ago when I came, the sun only set at about 8pm and the whole place will only be dark at 8.30pm.. then 2 months later, they starts the daylight saving where we turn back our clock one hour backwards making me an hour closer to Singapore. The amazing thing is, its just one day difference and the daylight really got shorter! The sun then starts to set at 6pm and as the time pass, the sun set off earlier and earlier where the earliest sunset was at 4.50pm during winter. Now that daylight savings have ended and its back to 3 hours of time difference from Singapore and amazingly, the sun is setting off at 8pm again!

During the 2 months back in Singapore before work starts, I’m going to really find some books and read about this and I’ll share with you guys more

Appreciation

Celebrated Yee Won’s 23th Birthday. In order to help Alfred give a biggest surprise to his 1 month gf, i did all i could to help. Didn’t sleep more than 5 hours everyday because other than getting myself busy for assignments, i had to do the massive birthday party planning with alfred. Indeed, she had the biggest surprise and he got her really touched. I was really happy that it was so successful and that everyone enjoyed themselves

The balloons that I sneaked out at 11pm to do until 3.30am when I have lesson at 9am the next day.

Me and the princess for the night

All the girls that attended the night

Mango cheesecake that I bake. Although it doesn’t look that appealing, everyone said it was awesome. I was glad everyone enjoyed!

A big group picture

_____________________________________________________

There’s one big lesson that I’ve learnt from this party. Never do such big surprise party for your friend is he/she is attached because end of the day, no matter how much effort you put in, she wont be able to see you. She will feel more grateful to her partner for preparing all these for her. I felt sad actually. Maybe I put in too much effort. Maybe I tried too hard to be nice that’s why I’m disappointed. But it’s okay, everyday we learn something new. I believe this one year in Tassie has made me grow alot and be more appreciative towards the things I have back in Singapore.

Or maybe I’m not disappointed with anyone but just myself because I feel so stupid to do so much for a friend and sacrifice my own happiness. I am suppose to go fishing with him tomorrow, however, because of this birthday party, I have not had time to do one of my assignment due on monday and thus, I have to stay behind tomorrow to start working on it.

Well, maybe we are just not meant to be. Life goes on ~

School Excursion

As old as what the title is showing, yes, i went for an excursion to the port with the university. Every year this year, the uni will organise trip to the Port of Melbourne to see how the top container terminal in Australia operates and I was really looking forward to it. However, this year, just like the phenomena that is happening at all organisations now, my school is also cutting cost. So from Port of Melbourne, we only had a small port located 80 over km aways from Launceston to visit. Well, most important is we learn something and I think I did

We saw how ship were planned with the different kinds of cargo MANUALLY. Yes, its manually. LOL, well, like i’ve mention earlier.. my area is like 10 years behind mainland australia. So, ya..

Of course, to end off – A picture of me in that safety vest

Very Inspiring

The story between the pencil and the eraser

Pencil: I’m sorry

 

Eraser: For what?

You didn’t do anything wrong.

 

Pencil: I’m so…rry cos you get hurt bcos of me.

Whenever I made a mistake, you’re always there to erase it.

But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself.

You get smaller and smaller each time.

 

Eraser: That’s true.

But I don’t really mind.

You see, I was made to do this.

I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong.

Even though one day, I know I’ll be gone and you’ll replace me with a new one, I’m actually happy with my job.

So please, stop worrying.

I hate seeing you sad.

 

Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They’re always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way… they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on).

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

“All my life, I’ve been the pencil.. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.

For I know that one day, all that I’m left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have…”

 

Found this on facebook and thinks that its very inspiring so just wanted to share it here

Someone like you

I heard that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me it isn’t over

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me, I beg
“I’ll remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me it isn’t over, yeah.

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me, I beg
“I’ll remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me, I beg
“I remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me, I beg
“I’ll remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
