good bye melbourne

It's about to close the chapter of Melbourne, several hours left to be on Kangaroo's land. First of all, I am glad i have completed my degree study with second honours 2A and looking forward for the new chapter. I am happy to see my family here to attend my graduation and we had a wonderful holiday although it was just about a week trip. We had been to Victoria Market, Mornington, Ballarat, Habour Town, Ethihad Stadium, Smith Street, etc. Unfortunately we could not make a trip to Great Ocean Road due to lack of time.

Once again, it's time to say good bye to all my beloved friends who entertained me for the past two years. Looking forward for the next meet up, i do hope this is not too far away and am trying to organize a gathering on next January.

Good bye RMIT, Punt Hill Apartment, South Kensington, Mesh Restaurant, QV, Melbourne Central, etc...

Good Bye Melbourne.

road to manchester

Finally, I got the offer from Salford University for next year February intake. I can't hide the happiness indeed but i will definitely miss Kch once again as i go back only for 4 weeks. That is kind of too fast and this will be the second year i can't celebrate Chinese New Year in Kch. Anyway, i hope the application for Visa to would not go into very complicated as i have not much time to deal with it. Once again, congratulation to myself. Road to Manchester is wide open now. Good Luck!

closing chapter

Time flies, i have graduated from RMIT as a degree holder of Construction Management. Unfortunately, i can't get the first class honour butt i am still satisfy with the overall result. Two more days, my parents and sister are coming from Malaysia, i haven't really plan where to bring them, there are only sovereign hill and mornington penisula in my mind so far, will figure out more places to go later. Anyway, i am glad to see them again and can't wait to go home : )

I have met a lots of great friends here and i find that leaving them is the saddest thing ever! Some of them are even just getting more close this year or final semester. Uni mates and futsal buddy from different states in Malaysia.... I will definitely miss thursday half price pizza in lygon street, Freddo's durian ice cream and every saturday futsal game in south kensington. Other than that, i enjoyed working in Mesh Restaurant and my supervisors and colleagues are all treated me nicely. I am heading back for a dinner buffet with my family on this coming saturday.

I am the luckiest one as i don't have to begin my job career after this, i am going to further my studies for master in United Kingdom. I appreciate that. Hope the application goes smoothly so that i could land myself in Manchester next year.

My chapter in Melbourne is coming to an end, although the desire that draw me to United Kingdom is far beyond to stay in Melbourne but i will definitely gonna miss this place so much. Once again, i appreciate that i got the options to choose. There are another ten more days left and lead me to the new chapter of my life.

discomfort

I have the feeling of being tired and slightly headache since Monday. It could probably be jet lag or the popular disease that has been attacking around the world, H1N1? I got now idea. It is not a severe headache but it always come with slightly pain which is annoying me nowadays. I have reset my biological clock into the behavior of healthy life. Are all that the symptoms of H1N1, or they are just the excuses of allowing myself continue slacking on the assignments or the presence of laziness to go to work?

mid sem break

I am leaving to Melbourne tomorrow. How fast is that? I have been enjoying my life in Kuching no doubt. The stupid test on this coming Tuesday does not allow me to stay much more longer in kch. But i have not prepare for the test yet and i am planning to have my revision in the 8 hours flight to Melbourne. The schedule for the progress of my assignment is largely fell behind as there is too many activites i can hang around in kch. I am expecting myself to struggle hard in the upcoming days and get everything done before meeting my supervisor, that is definitely a big task for me. Anyway, i have enjoyed my holidays to the max and makes me feel like not going back to melb. Kch is still a better place for that i can hang around with friends and my family indeed. I will definitely miss my new home and gucci. Can't wait to come back again in dec but i know time flies, so don't worries. I am looking forward to for the next return : ) Good Night.

final semester

Time flies, winter break has ended and the final semester has just started today. Everything seems like just happening yesterday. Well, i have a perfect timetable for this semester, i just have to attend classes for tuesday and wednesday. Pretty good ya? It's like what we normally called as honeymoon period. Hehe. Therefore, i get back my work shift on saturday night. I am still thinking whether to apply for another job since i got so much free time.

I am going to graduate soon. Hope everything is going fine and smoothly. This is definitely another stage of our life to make decision. I am the lucky one indeed as i can still have two options to choose if to study or work. Actually i already have a plan since long ago and i am starting working on it. Anyway, i hope that my plan is going well : )

winter break

Finally, all the assignments and exam are out of my mind now! But, i am worrying about 13 July, the date of release the result. I did not do quite well in my exam indeed so what i have to do now is keep praying hard for a pass for those subjects which are on the edge to the pass grade. Po bi Po bi. Since the day after my last paper, i feel so empty and nothing to do. My passion to games no longer to be determined but it seems like i am getting them back slowly. What to do, holiday what! Besides that, H1N1 is attacking Melbourne badly and it is definitely an annoying issue as i am going to Sydney soon. Hope everything is fine. So how am i going to spend for my holidays? No idea, can't really go anyway at the moment as H1N1 is spreading too strong and fast. Quarantine myself at home for movies and games? This is definitely not a good idea but it seem like nothing else can be done better than this.

Good Luck Alvin ^^,

lack of motivation

Why do people only can concentrate on the work in the very last minute? Where is the motivation? Assignments were given out since the first two weeks, and now it's already week 7. I feel like did nothing for the past 49 days, but only a few tutorials. Sometimes, you study for the whole afternoon, it does not mean that the hours you have spent for doing revision are equals with the outcome. For me, the outcome is always can't reach my expectation. I am always progressing very slowly unless it is a very last minute work. People always get excuses like they will get distracted if they are studying at home but how about go to the library? I can only say it could be a little bit better but everything still go slowly. I just can't get fully concentration on my studies but day dreaming instead. What i understand is, if you really concentrate on it, you will pick up easily and install the knowledge into your brain. If you can't focus on it, you will never pick up although you sit in the library for the whole day. Anyway, no more slacking at this moment and i have to complete all those that are supposed to be done immediately. Keep it up! Cheers : )
