Just for a minute, forget about what's coming tomorrow: May 2013

Verdict

So I was not affected by it. Some of my friends do though.

The verdict is passed. I can be promoted to next semester!!! Woohoooooooooo

Dear National Tertiary Education Union(NTEU),
I don't understand why is there a need to withholding results of students studying in RMIT. Why are we innocent students dragged down by this? You have a problem, you deal with the school, not deal with us. We are such innocent batch of students trying to study in the university and just want to get a degree asap.

How could you even think of this as a solution to your problem. This is obviously unfair and unethical. Where is your ethics? Is that how you make people accept your demands? As a union, is this the only way you could solve your problem? Is this the best you can come out with? We, students are not even affiliated with you anyway, so tell me why? How could you target us? We are nothing but bargaining chips to you?

Shame on you, NTEU.

Sincerely,
Pissed off RMIT student

Holding out

Today is 29th May 2013. I went to temple with my mum. It has been so long. I can't even remember the last time I went out with her.

As we are crossing the road, i held her hands to cross safely and I realised it has been ages since I held her hands. I told her about this and we both laughed. I knew at that point she was also remembering about the old times. This time round, it was me who turned to hold her hands. It felt surreal.

I remembered the time when she will always hold my hands when we went out, afraid that I will get lost or what. I also remembered the time when she bought chicken rice for me when I came back from my kindergarden class, switching on cartoons for me at the same time.

She has aged and I grew older. Things changed and I have no common topics with her to talk when I was in the train with her. But still, I tried my best.

At one point of the journey, I was suggesting her to go eat ah chew desserts after temple and she keep refused, saying it was expensive. I do not know whether she know i am treating her anot, but in my mind, i wanted to treat her. After many attempts of asking her to try, she finally agreed with the idea. I loved how she reacts and in the end changed her mind. So there we went. From her face, i could tell that she was happy choosing the dessert and this makes me happy too. Later i even bought Ritz applepie for her to try.

Sometimes in our busy life, we tend to forget those who brings us up. Time to show some love.

Deal with it

Finally I got a temp job after two weeks of infutile attempts of getting agencies to call me despite me sending one resume after another. I truly enjoyed my two weeks of freedom of going out with Eugene, meeting colleagues for lunch, rotting at home surfing websites and watching shows. But as time passed and no signs of getting a job, there were feelings of unrest of rotting at home for the whole month until school starts. There will be so sadddd.

So anyway, I came in as a newcomer again. There goes again, the feelings of unwelcomeness. It is the same as what I had on previous jobs. No one cares, no one bothers of course. If I'm an old bird there, I will also choose to ignore the newcomer. This is human nature and I know it very well. And you can't wait to blend in to the surroundings.

With some years of experience, I learnt that you have to wear differernt masks to work whether you like it anot. If you are not happy, don't show, pretend to listen and then vent somewhere else lol. It is always best to maintain good working relationship with your colleagues and superiors, need them later!

Deal with it is my motto whenever I feel outcasted. I don't care a shit how people look at me or what. I will always tell myself i am coming here to work, gain some exp and leave once the time is up. Life is too short to be bothered with these stuffs. So why be bothered? Nah.

So anyway,met with the HR manager and her assistant. They are so friendly that I feel like working with them in future! Lol. It's one of those rare occasions that your superiors are good friendly souls, encourage you to eat snacks at pantry and even say offer to lunch with you knowing you are alone. How nice, i love this warm and cosy feeling;)

Elites VS common people VS very common people.

Obviously, there is a big gap between these two groups of people, elites VS very common people. And of course , the levels of thinking and IQ of those people.

The rich favors the PAP policies while the poor supports the opposition parties. Like a coin, there is always both sides of scenerios. There can never be fairness and the cycle goes round again.

I happened to read something about PAP. They consisted of an elite team, having doctorates among them. How easy to become a doctor?? Not easy at all. The thesis itself is more than 300 pages. How could they be compared to opposition parties in terms of education wise? Nah. Would you really be comfortable if they are appointed as ruling party? We need someone capable, someone who is able to think far and show results for the country. Of course, I believe there is a need for balance between these two parties. No pressure, no motivation.

On the other hand, I look down upon keyboard warriors who are arrogant and only knows how to diss people. If what you said make sense, I will agree with you. If what you said dont make sense, I'll take it as a pinch of salt of us having different views. Why is there a need to bring out the vulgarities. Saying things that are irrelevant to the topic? This only shows how shallow you are. And those people are usually the one that cries wolf first.

Treasure

It's one of these times where you treasured the time you spent with your parents.

Today I went out for dinner with my dad and mum. Simple dinner of curry fish head and some chicken wings at Bedok. On the way back, my mum suddenly say that my sis is one of those rare kind that cares about them the most which I can't agree more. My sis would always randomly take them out for dinner, to shopping etc. i look upon my sis as my role model. Sometimes I just wanna do just that, but I have no resources now. i I promise that next time when I work, I will treat them well.

That's her and the 3 little kids.

When she was out of job for a period of time, she will randomly come to my house buying porridge for my dad or for me. Not only that, when she knows how to cook some desserts, she will iust come from her house and cook for us, and then go back after that. There was a time where i was having exams in the noon, she bought me tau huay and you cha quey for breakfast and nasi lemak for lunch. Its just that small little things that she do makes people feel.. you know..?

As we are walking back, I suddenly talk about politics with my dad and he sound interested which makes me happy. It is one of the rare occasions that you know ya. He even make orange juice for us when we came back. :)

You know,

I wanna jog with my dad one day

I wanna bring my parents out and treat them really nice food one day.

I wanna bring them overseas one day.

I wanna them to know I care them as much as my sis care about them.

In the the mean time, I shall converse with my dad more and treat my parents well. Because they are the ones that brings me up. I want to treasure them before its too late.

Mothers is the greatest of all.

Sis and her husband cooked a spread for our family during the eve of mothers' day

Got her a bag and a handphone! :) Look how happy she is.

i remembered when i was feeling sick during kindergarden/ primary school time, she will put my feet on her face to see whether i have fever anot. i know right. Why would she even do that? As i grew older, i joke and ask her why she does that cos its dirty you know,and she said not where got dirty, and i laughed. When my stomach is bloated, she will help me rub my tummy not minding the disgusting smell of ointment.

haha that was when i was young lah, now dont have already. lol.

To my dearest mum,

Sometimes we may have things to quarrel about, but whenever i thought about how you took great pains to deliver me, i will regret quarrelling with you. But oh well, sometimes, anger often eats me up. You know i don't mean it, don't you? Now, i learnt to control, to understand and to let go. Love you always though i don't show! xoxo

We only live once. Why waste time fighting over things, not worth it. Gotta enjoy life before time's is up.

Rewind

Woohoo! Finally got my data back after trying all sorts of dings and dongs. I am a happy girl now! :) Gonna back up every now and then already. No way is this going to happen to me again!

Crash on me why why why

I am very sad now. My computer died on me today. Now I am using my phone to type this out. Sigh.. Actually last year already got problems already, but I managed to keep it under wraps by hitting it. I know.. but not I want one. It keeps cannot be switched on until I hit it with my palms and it miraculously can be switched on. This goes on for months and now it can't stand my beating anymore and decided to die on me.

Oh computer, how do I live without you in my everyday life? There is no one day i never used you unless i went overseas. Sigh. I am very sad. I can't catch shows now, can't Facebook now, can't 9gag now, can't alot alot alot of things. FML. And the thing is I haven't even back up at all!! Ya should have back up earlier right. I know. But my HD has only 5gb of space! And I didn't know it was going to die on me today!!!!! :( Perhaps I should be grateful of it not dying during the time when I am doing assignments or exams. But still..

I shall go see if anything can revive my com now. If not, I am going to hit it again!! Maybe it will wake up? Getting on my nerves seriously where it keep appearing automatic repairs, diagnosing screen and restarts again. WHAT DO YOU WANT?I just hope that it will let me back up at the very least! Not very demanding what right? Zz sigh I am very sad:(((

Breather

Today is 7th of May 2013.
Finally, all exams are over! Can finally take a well deserved break from today onwards! Will be looking for jobs pretty soon to earn some quick and easy bucks. To say the truth, it is kinda satisfying to receive my own paycheck after one month of work rather than lazing around.It's like getting free money with your own effort and gaining free experience and knowing more about the nature of people and office politics. Enlightening I would say. I love learning new things and acquiring new knowledge.

Today, I tried to enjoy myself today as much as possible since i finished exams but I found its not getting anywhere. Soon I get bored with all the surfing of websites, watching shows and playing game. It's always when you are preparing for exams, you feel the need to enjoy after finished exams. But when the day comes, you realised this doesn't go anywhere actually. It's the unproductive lifestyle again. So to sum up, one doesn't work for money but to see the world.
