Airport, Me & Rain?

So, I don't really know why I am writing this, or naming the title so, but I just have a sudden urge to visit airports but I don't think I can as it is costly to get to the airport from my place. 

Well, no, the actual reason why I wrote this blog is to kill time so that I can wish Samuel a Happy Birthday but I can't wait till Malaysia time and thus Samuel will just have to do with Sydney time which is 2hours faster than Malaysia. So, Samuel, if you are reading this on 29 April, Happy Birthday! If it is after that date, Happy Belated Birthday! If it is before that date, Happy Birthday in Advance! Okay, I take note of all the possibilities already. (Sorry, did too much Mathematics.)

Okay, that is enough, I need to get back to the main topic of this post. Airports!
Argh! I miss airports! I still remember visiting the small airport in Alor Star when I was very very young with my family. My dad will like say, "Hey, lets go and visit the airport on the way to somewhere which I can't remember." Well, the important thing is that although the airport is small and there are practically no major airplanes flying in that airport, but I still remember the airport. (From the road as I never set foot on the airport, we always drive through the airport and make some stops just to have a better view of the airplane model.)

And here I am now, in Sydney, and I have no idea how the airport looks like. I was so busy finding my cousin from the sea of people when I got out of the arrival and did not even bother to look clearly at the airport. (which is a mistake.) So, now I wonder when can I revisit, or I think visit is the better word, the airport again?  Why? I myself have no answer to that. I just had the sudden feeling like "Oooo! I want to do that" kind of feel. Yaya, I know I am half crazy, thank you for confirming that with me. Maybe I miss home and thus I miss the airport, but the truth is still a mystery and I awaits anyone who can solve it.  (Please, if you are going to suggest answers to my crazy urge, please, please give me some decent guesses. Thank you.)

I think another part that contributes to my urge is that I see planes flying all the time. I can see planes flying when I walk to University, and when I walk back from University. So, that makes me think that, "Hmm, where did they fly from, or where are they flying to?" and then I was like "Oh My! I don't even know what the Sydney International Airport looks like." Haha. So, maybe this is the main reason why I wanted to visit the airport, because I don't have any memories of it! I don't know where it is, I don't know how big it is, I don't know what it looks like. I just know I flown to Sydney through a plane that landed there. That's it. So, I think I better get more memories/pictures/idea of the place and thus, I wanted to visit the airport. TaDa..

Haha. I am glad that you stick through reading all this nonsense of mine to this point. Congratulations, you are well on your way to become as crazy as I am. Haha. But, I got to say, this is nothing compared to my liking for rains. And I do mean RAINS!

What??  You might ask. Yes, the Rain. I like the Rain. especially those that will get you wet from head to toe in seconds type of rain. I just like to walk in the rain, not worrying about getting sick or getting wet, which I found out that I liked. No, not the sick part, I hate getting sick. Haha. But, being in the rain is not as easy as it seems. I can't just run into the rain whenever I see them, it depends on the situation. I can't go into the rain when I know my parents will scream at me and then lecture me for an hour or so. The only time I can be in the rain is when my parents won't find out about it, so it is mostly camping time. Yeah! Oh NO! I just open up a new topic that would cost me days to write it all out. So, I think I better don't start on that. I will just stick to the original topic which is Rain. Well, I just thought I might ask, don't you think it is fun to be caught in the rain and just let it washes you? I like that feeling and thus LOVE the Rain. (Well, you already told me that I am crazy, so I will just take it once more, why not? Haha.)

Okay, it is way past my bedtime as I decided to go to bed early. (7minutes has pass where no entry has been made) And YEAH!! Samuel finally online and thus I switch my focus to wishing him and now I am back, to finish this "I-don't-know-what-to-call-it-post". And now, I am ending this. Yes, I am ending it. Thank you for reading it till this very last few lines. I mean it. Thank you. Okay, okay, I am ending this. Yaya.. It is now, officially 
THE END.

Friends?

First thing first, I wrote this not because I myself is in this dilemma, but one of my friend is. So, this is a written for him.

"What's with you? Always no. What's the point of coming?"  Well, I am not sure if I portrait the quarrel well, but you get the idea. They knew each other for only one year, and find out that they don't really get along. But, its just one year, "you don't like me, I don't like you, fine! Goodbye." They plan to not meet each other ever again, (I think) but fate is a funny thing, the more you don't want it to happen, the more it is bound to happen. So, the "funny" Fate brought the two person to meet again, and the stories began.

They are now basically living under one roof, so they meet each other more often. So, if you still remember your Chemistry, when frequency increases, the number of collision will certainly increases, therefore the numbers of product, which in this case, is disagreements, will increase.  So, I heard quite a number of disagreements between them in just this few months of their "reunion" and you know what the ironic part is? It is that they will be living together or have the chance of bumping into each other for a whole 4years unless someone take some drastic decision and change! Change what? Well, I personally think it is hard to change one's personality, so I think the change will be an environmental change perhaps? I don't know, I'm not a psychologist. (Am I using the correct term? I don't know.) I just know the two are always in disagreement that lead to argument.

Who is right and who is wrong? I don't know. I am not there, and I can't just take sides when I did not hear the whole story, but I don't think I want to know the whole story, because I might take that problem personally and then their problems which is around at least 1000kilometers away will become my problem and I don't want that to happen. So, I will keep their problems as their problems and try to help as much as I can without making it my problem.

So, what is the point of me writing this post where I don't think I mentioned it yet and I don't think anyone can guess the real meaning of me writing this. Actually I also question myself on writing this. It is like two hours in between this line and the first line I wrote, thus the meaning of this post seems a bit blurry to me now. Well, I am making up the meaning as I keep on typing useless lines in here, just to keep my fingers occupied. Okay, I think I came up with something already.

Well, continue on the story, they had been like this and I had no idea how on Earth can they solve their disagreements smoothly. So, I just hope that either one of them but best both of them change for the greater good, become the better man.  One of them must be the one to tolerate the other to solve this problems they are having which is I assume, creating problems for others as well. For example, me, who is now taking in this as my problem now which is a bad thing for me as I don't really have time for this anymore. Besides me, I think their mutual friends who are living or are in close contact with them are also having a problem when the two have a differences in opinion. Well, I can only pray and give a tiny little bit of guidance that my brain can offer which I hope can help them solve their problem.

Okay, this post is getting too long, but I just thought of something that I had not yet mention. Which is the meaning of my post title. Yeah!! Friends? Yes. Why is it that humans are so complicated? Strangers can be Acquaintance and then be Friends and continue on being Best Friends which might degrade and dropped down to Friends again. Add a couple more years of not contacting that person and you guys might just be Acquaintance again. If something goes wrong in the process, then you might end up with an Enemy, which is a bad thing. (According to me of course.) So, why is it that the same human being can be such different? Why is it that life now does not look the same as it used to when we are young? Life back then seems so pure and simple. Well, maybe because we are different every smallest division of time you can think of. How? I quote this from a Dharma Talk which is in Chinese, thus forgive me for my weak translation. "We are constantly changing and thus we are always a different person, how many cells might had changed in 1 second? The person that he/she is scolding is now gone, so why am I still angry with what he had scold the person 1minute ago?" Please tell me if you don't get this phrase, then I might post another version of it which is in Chinese.

Assuming that you get the idea, people change just too damn fast, (Actually this is not the conclusion that the speaker said, but for this context, I had to change it. Sorry.) making it hard for a person to not change their way of thinking things. Thus, we might be friends this instance but something might came up and we might be not talking at all. So, are Friends still worth the trouble when we know that we might not be life-long buddies? What do you think? If the answer is No, then I am sorry, you are not normal and I strongly suggest that  you seek professional help, if you want it that is. But if the answer is Yes, then good, you are an average human being with normal human needs in terms of company. Friends, is a must for most of us, as we have a sense of Belonging. We feel belonged when we can attend class together with someone and eat lunch together. It always feels good to be belonged to something.

So, I need to cut this short as it is way past my bedtime and I really need to get some sleep like now! As a conclusion, Friends are always hard to maintain and thus an amount of effort is required, a slight problem which arise in between might hurt the relationship or even destroy the whole friendship. So, whether someone is worth to be called a Friend or not is all depends on you. Are you my Friend?

P.S: I apologize again if anyone couldn't understand what I wrote, because I really need to sleep now. Sorry. I will post another version with more information on this later when I have the mood in doing so. Thank you for reading this junk for so long, I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Life 2

Well, why is it called "Life 2" ?? This is simply because that I had a previous blog title "Life", therefore this is another version of it so it is called "Life 2". Haha. Simple isn't it?

So, my story starts the day before yesterday, or should I say yesterday in the wee hours. Well, as you might have know, I am a lazy person. I left my tutorial homework till to the last minute. So, it was 1am and I just started doing my tutorial homework which is 3pm that day.  I spend about 3hours doing that thing and end up going to bed at 4am. I slept for like about 6hours and I woke at 10am, because I had a lecture at 11am. So, I woke, I made my sandwiches, which is my lunch and I took a bath.

I was just in time for my lecture and everything turns out quite fine, until I heard someone beside me discussing about results of an earlier calculus test and I thought, "Oh My!, they got such high marks and I just passed my test." That made me quite sad for a while, but then it is still okay, as I did not put much effort in it, so I am suppose to get such marks for my work. The worst thing is, I found out I did the wrong tutorial homework.  I did next week's homework instead of last week's. SHIT!! I waste my sleep for doing the wrong homework!! And then, something worse than that is, my tutor happen to be collecting for both weeks, last week and this week. (Note: Because last week was Easter Holiday, no class was held, but I do not know which GENIUS designed my Management course to have homework assigned to that week.)  GREAT!! Just Great I thought, I lost 0.5marks for failing to pass up my homework for that week.

Well, what can I say? Ces't La Vie

ARGH!!!!

Okay, I got to calm myself down, thus writing a blog is the best way to do so, besides playing DOTA and winning. Haha. So, I met a lot of stupid things which piled up and now I am near to a breakdown. So, let me tell you something about it, or them.

First, I am LAZY! I did not did my tutorials, and now I am quite behind in some subjects and have to put in a lot of work to catch up, and I had decided I will. But, these things has to happen, which ruin my mood of doing any homework. GREAT! So, what happen? This!

I am now the account owner of the telephone and internet service of my house, but I just recently got this title that I think is going to kill me now. Haha. Well, the previous owner has some complications that I am in no state of revealing, thus she has to convert the ownership to me. So, we changed the name on 18 March. And then she moved out after that. A bill issued on 16 March arrive a few days later and it was under her name, so I generally paid the amount as I thought the account will not change. I was WRONG! The company made a new account number for me and also made a new bill for me. So now I had to pay for another bill which has a overlapping period of 2weeks in them. GREAT! So I went online to check on the bill and only notice about this. I straight away called the company and was told after a series of operator operations that asked me to press this number and that number that the line was busy and I was to hold on. ZZZ.. Of all the days to be busy this is the day. Sigh! The bill is due in two days. I will need to call them again tomorrow to straight things out. I hope they will stick to the old billing period or just transfer the payment I made to the old bill to this new bill. If not, I am going to make a hell lot of fuss!!!

Shit! This event has seriously ruin my mood of any study.  I am suppose to be looking into my algebra past year test as I will be having one on Wednesday, or I should be doing my Economics and Accounting tutorial work for tomorrow. Yet I am in no mood for either of that. I just have to much on my mind now. There are still some other problems that I don't think I can reveal it just yet. Haha. Sorry for that. Well, I think that is all for now. I am getting a little better now. Maybe I should just go DOTA a round, have my dinner and a bath. Maybe I will be right on my feet by then to get some work done.

All the BEST for me! YEAH!!

It's been a while

So, it has been a while since I last  posted something here, so I just thought of coming around here after been asked by Samuel.. hehe..

Well, time flies, it has already been 6weeks in Australia. My parents are saying "Wow! Your hair looks long now." Haha. But seriously, I do not think my hair is that long yet, but maybe it is for them who have not seen me in person but through skype only. Well, 6weeks in Sydney, and it only feels like it was yesterday when I first boarded the plane. Why does time need to go so fast? I need some time to cool down, set some things straight, yet time stops for no one. So, here I am, rotting at home during Easter break, although I said that I will use the time I had to catch up on my Mathematics homework, but I have not started and it is already Wednesday, in fact it is Thursday already. Well, I need to get started today! MUST!


Just to remind myself, I went to the zoo with Kah Men and her god uncle and aunt and family. I brought along my two new friends, Soo Siang and Shin Yi. So, we had a great day at the zoo, maybe the main reason is the tickets are FREE!! Thanks to Kah Men's uncle, for having the tickets and for Kah Men to invite me. hehe.. Spend the whole day at the zoo, planning to visit the zoo again as there are a lot of places that we have not covered yet. Just not sure when going as the ticket is not cheap, AUD41 if I am not mistaken, but definitely will be going another time.

Sunday was UniBuds Amazing Race, YEAH!!!! Met a lot of new friends, (Finally) too bad none of them are first year commerce students, or we can discuss homework together, Haha. Although my group did not win, but at least we make new friends and gain experience through the race. So, I had fun, I learn new things, I got experience who cares if I do not win? It is fate that brought me to UniBuds so I think I might as well learn something from it, which is "The Way of Life". hehe.

I thought I can work on my homework on Monday, but my cousin came to Sydney, so I went down to central by bus to meet "him", or that was what I thought. It turns out to be "them". Haha. So, he told me to go to Market City, which I had no idea where it is, but I got on a bus and went to Central Station. This is where I found a map of the city, but it is stuck to the wall, so I look through it and kind of memorize the map. I walk to the wrong side of the road and finally realize I was wrong in time, I went the other way straight away and just go by my instinct, and guess what? I found it. Haha. Never told anyone there I do not know my way, even if I am going to go there again now I do not think I can find it straight away, as I was reading a useless map on the way there. Haha.

So, Tuesday is just a normal day, Wednesday is more interesting.
I got up early as I had registered myself to a paid research at 10am. I got there are found out I had only to sit in front of the computer and make easy decisions for two hours. I end up earning $20 for the 2hours. Yet I know I can earn more if I am the "Seller" instead of the "Buyer".  The experiment is about how the "Buyer" and "Seller" make different decisions when negotiating the price of a product. We earn a $5 for showing up and every $60 profit we earn in the experiment is converted to $1 in real life. I just earn up to $12.70 but the guy is good enough to say that the minimum we can earn is $15. So, I got $20. Hoping that another session will be soon as I wan to earn more money! YEAH!! haha.

I want to earn more money so I can save enough to buy a MayDay concert ticket which cost $68. Well, hoping that I can find a job soon as I really need the money, yet not sure what I should do, maybe I might consider working in the supermarket nearby. Money, Money, Money, I need money. Who want to hire me?? I need a part time job as I need the money! Seriously, there are so many things that I wanted to buy. I need a JOB!!!

So, I think that is for now. I might be updating soon, but that is no guarantee. I might found a job and be too busy to even do my own cooking so do not count on me so much. Haha. I want to go to bed already as it is getting late. Good Night to everyone who is reading this at night. Until we meet again then.
