Template Woes
Attempting to switch to another comment system nearly killed me, im not tech whizz, and with my blogger browser giving me weird "language" where all i see while logged on to the blogger system are boxes and brackets like this: [[[ in replacement of text, its killing me!
If u still do not get what i mean, let me try to elaborate more. for example, before posting a post, we get to select the month, date and time rite? well, all i see in the selection box is: [] [] [] []. so i can only guess what i am clicking. =P
anyhow, i finally managed to get haloscan working on my blogspace (Thanx angela for the recommendation). but not before it screwed up my text configurations, now for the life of me, i cant figure out how to change the text from times new roman, size 12, back to my original arial, font size 10. =P
On an entire different note altogether. Ive been resting for the past few days, after the submission of my 2 very mind-boggling essays. Been driving arnd perth with my friends, shopping and eatting, and it has been fun. But all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, it has. With 3 tests coming up next week, i've gotta sit down and force myself to study. Bahhh...
oh yes, recently ive also stumbled upon a really interesting site, www.stylediary.com signed up for it.
what a very novel idea the webmasters came up with. =)
okie, time for a coffee refill, before i begin some real work.
toodles!

Housemates
A kinda unpleasant start to the day. My housemate seems to be in a foul mood, and the telltale signs u say? : door slamming, kitchen cupboard banging, and she walked past my room like 4 times, but never bothered once to just look in and say hi, and when i did, she just slammed the door in my face. whats up with her. Can't take such hostility in the house man. AND her life is going great now! so what's up with the attitude, seriously!
Living under such circumstances is seriously unpleasant. Its times like this, i take on what i call the "dorothy-toto-syndrome": "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"
Until i find my magical red shoes to carry me home...

SUNrise, SUNset
I really loathe the early sunsets when winter comes. Would you believe that it is only 1.45pm and it is so dark around here, in addition, it is a cloudy day, that i have to turn on the lights at 1.45!
I had classes yesterday at 3.30pm, and while i was heading to school, at 3, i realised that the sun was already begining its decent. and by the time my class was done, at 5pm, it was dark. Imagine 7pm in Singapore. It was dark. As winter approaches, the days are going to get shorter and shorter. And this is the one thing i loathe about winter. the Long long long nights, and untra short days. its only bright until around 3+ before it starts feeling like sunset.
Anyhoo, while this weather is making me sleepy and tired, i have to drown myself in Berocca, and my essay, which i HAVE to complete by tonight, on Thai PM Thaksi.n. I really need God's strength and grace to get through this.

Petty Grievances
My Aunt is driving me up the wall. Really. She can't seem to stop running down my housemate, and it is driving me absolutely crazy! i know she is not perfect, and what she 'does' to my aunt, she does to me too, but they are all little things, that we should learn to overlook, and not harp onto it, like its some great calamity that has happened. Please.
And when i try to talk to her, she loses her temper and starts throwing it around! Saying things like "you and your father are all the same, defending her... blah blah blah" i hear her saying all this, but i just turn a deaf ear to it, and ignore it. BUT she is really killing me!
Just a few minutes ago, we had a conversation outside while we were bringing out clothes in. And i saw that she had hung out my housemate, P's cardigan. As i know that P is very 'protective' about her clothes and stretching it and stuff, i mentioned to my aunt that she should not hang out P's stuff, instead, leave it for her to settle it on her own. AND she GOES OFF ON ME! about how she's not P's servant! How i spoil P. BLah BLAH BLAH. What on earth! She's the one who's doing all the unnecessary stuff that NO ONE is asking her to do, and she goes off on me?! I did not even insinuate that in any way!
ARGH! She is really really driving me up and wall. Look. i understand that P does certain things that irritate her, but no one is perfect, really! As much as P does not bother to help us wash 1 or 2 of our dishes when she is washing hers, even though we always do hers, and true, she always leaves the kitchen in a mess every morning for us to clean up after her, and a few days ago, she even bleached my clothes and wrecked them due to her disregard for my items in the sink, i just overlook it. I was really upset about the clothes and all, but whats done is done isnt it. True, she should have offered to do something about wrecking my clothes, but why harp on the unhappy stuff.
I cant take this. On top of my pending and looming deadlines on essays which are killing me, these sorta stupid "talks" and issues are adding to my grief and burden.
With this said, i cant wait to pack up and head by home, to the people that love me unconditionally.

Washing Woes
ARGH. First i have to scream! Things have been just plain horrible today. It got from bad to worse. First, i overslept, cause even though i set my alarm last night, i forgot to turn it on!! so because of that, i didnt make it for my first lesson! Manz! and it was important too! and following that, my friend smsed, that she wasn't going for the next lesson as well, and by that point, i didnt have the mood to trudge over to school, an hour and a half just for a crap lesson, and take another hour plus coming back.
I was feeling like crap all day, and decided, ok, why not make myself useful and get some laundry done. i have been procrastinating like crazy, and my laundry has pilied up like a mini mountain. So i head over to the washing machine, and guess what! it apparently has malfunctioned, (short-circuited the WHOLE house) and now, i have a bag full of WET laundry, not washed yet mind u! just wet! with a spoilt machine, that the homeowner, aka my aunt isn't going to bother to get a new one! GREAT!
so right now, unless i get a new washing machine for the house, which will cost me a bomb! i cant do laundry!!!!!!!!!!!! ahHhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
my only 2 options are: carry all my laundry to the nearest laundromat, or to my friend's place to do laundry. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
=( manz, i miss home.

Winter's Beckoning
The days have gone shorter with winter approaching. It turns dark from 5pm! =( BAH i hate it! the nights are gradually getting longer and longer, and more dreary. Not gd. I prefer it sunny and cheery. What's great, is the temperature here though. its a gorgeous 13-26 degrees. Just the way i like it. =) And to make me happier, i have been shopping. (bad bad girl) =) Went for an unplanned supre trip, and i came back with some satisfied purchases. A polka dotted boob tube, and an absolutely Breathtaking Silver bag! I love it! I think it will jazz up ANY outfit! =) YAY. Browsed through the supre website, but the only have the dark version left: http://supre.au.com/(0nvlvg55vsisue3j1lnhh145)/Product.aspx?pid=2&cid=14&sku=11730&ct=Cart
Happy Happy. =) And ive booked my tics back home too! a load off my mind. =)

His Grace is Sufficient For Me
Its all good now. With the grace and strength of God, after talking to d, who gave me perspective, i said a prayer, and went to talk to p. i told her im sorry if i hurt her unwittingly, with my discussion with bro. i also told her i got really hurt by what she told me, it was like a punch in the stomach. The Lord revealed to me, that the reason what she said hurt so much, was because of the pride in me, pride in what i am doing, pride for His abundant blessings to me in np where he blessed me with a COM, and due to this pride, i felt the hurt when she insinuated that mass com is not valued in australia, even if she didnt say it to hurt me.
I thank God for this humbling experience, and for showing me that i should take a conscious effort towards the 7 steps of humility. I pray that He draws me closer everyday, until the day He comes again, in His glory.

SHaken
I am so shaken by what just happened. Totally unpleasent, which started off with something as innocent as a question about how much school fees are right now in australia.
In the car ride back from church, i was all happy and cheery. then bro who was driving me, and p home happened to casually ask me how much school fees here are, so i told him. and after that he began talking about how the OZ education system is and all, so i joined in with him, and told him what i felt about the australia education system and my experiences, and all of a sudden, p started saying something like that is only at murdoch, you cant say that for all the unis. Anyhoo, the conversation between me and bro continued, and we basically agreed about the education system here, and i spoke from personal experience. and p was quiet the whole way back home. Then upon alighting from the car, she turns to me and says, "hey girlie, ure very university-bashing. "
All becase as discussed in the car, i said i dont feel that the australia education system is value-added, and even though im doing a degree here, what will carry me through into the industry is not the australia degree i am ensuing, but all the practical knowledge that i acquired in singapore. and p got all defensive and went on about how can i compare a diploma education with a degree education. and what i basically told her was, isnt a degree supposed to be even better then a diploma? and i told her that honestly, speaking from experience, these are my feelings...
to cut the long story short, she told me straight out, that its just my uni, its lousy, and that mass com is not valued, thats y its like that. its only mass com.
=( that was so mean...
