There is plenty of stuff in Australia to dislike- especially the fact that most places close around 5pm and there really is almost close to 0 night life here. But then again, there really are some Australian stuff to die for and so i've decided to put some of them up...

Arnotts Tim Tams. Possibly the best chocolate snack in the world. They cost ard 2bux SGD and are like super yummy. If u know someone in Aus coming back for holidays or whatever, make sure u get the person to buy these back for u. ;-) Posted by Hello

PPS Wax. I love this stuff. They dont come cheap at all. Around approx 20+ SGD for a small container of wax but it smells soooooooo damn good and when u wake up moody in the morning. A quick warm pampering shower and followed by this wax definitely can change the mood around. And they say money cant buy happiness... right. Lets get something straight. MONEY CANT BUY YOU HAPPINESS...but the lack of it makes you no better off!Posted by Hello


G'day! I'm going shopping!

{Exams over - Sunday, June 26, 2005}

Most things, whether good or bad, have to come to an end. Exams are over! yay =]

Been busy enjoying myself (and spending money foolishly) of late. Words i write now are ones of 5.30am- of a person who had drunk a tequilla shot, barcardi 151, beer, a white russian. Its not alot to drink but i drank them pretty much one after the other. While it wasnt enough to put me among the clouds, it wasnt enough to put my face among toilet seats trying to throw up the access alcohol either. It was, however, just enough to give me a throbbing headache when i lie down. So I told myself, what the heck, I'll just update my blog.

Anyway, only 2 days have passed since my exams finished and i'm on a spending spree. As much as I would love this to go on, it has to stop. Bought a pretty FCUKing nice T-shirt from the french connection store and been spending alot on munchies and arguably, some good food and bubble teas. Afterall, i've been surviving on someting horrid aka Trinity College food for god knows how long....

Also have been watching some movies...
Batman Begins-was an excellent movie. I enjoyed it alot and I highly recomend it to anyone who has free time on their hands. The movie has depth, more action and more intelligent dialogue as compared to Star Wars Episode 3. "Anakin, you are breaking my heart *sob sob*"

Madagascar-was funny. Animation was cute and some of the jokes were really fresh. Somehow the regge-techno music which the lemur was singing was really catchy. Possibly because I just finished watching the remaining of the show 5 minutes before i started this blog entry. And well...with some alcohol, any fast pace rhytm becomes catchy. I LIEK THE WAY U MOVE IT MOVE IT!!!*dances*

Ok...after all that dancing (as in dancing when i was at metro just now and not from the -i like the way u move it move it- song; i think i danced for like 2 and a half hrs non stop) I R TIRED.
So im going to sleep! Laters all!

{Exam Again!!!!1111!one!!1 - Monday, June 20, 2005}

Didn't know write for this today's post.
Then I remembered, I'll do what I love the most.
I turn to rhymes to ease the pain,
This time from the exams which come yet again.

Stray papers lie all over the room- what a mess.
Like broken formule in my mind- uurgh what stress.
Pens and highlighters are running out of ink.
And the endless chapters start impeding my ability to (yes guys...i CAN)think.

I cannot remember the last time I put up a smile,
Things been slow and shitty for quite awhile.
Yet outside my window, happy people having a blast.
For their exams are over... ...at long last.

At times I've got no mood to study because I'm so going to fail,
But I know, if try, hope, I might still prevail.
Maybe there really is no need for me to be so negative and up-tight.
So I'm going to grab a cookie, sip some tea, and gear up for this long night.



Adios!
Cheng.

P.S. Wont post til its all over (Wed).

P.P.S. Those of you who have finished exams (especially those in Singapore), when you message me on MSN to play dota, I'm not around k? But ya all can chill with Count Drunkular n haf a few beers and cheers*hic*

{Killer Deals, Bargain Steals, Movie Reels. - Friday, June 17, 2005}

Been getting household stuff recently for some strange reason. Maybe because its winter and my heaters keep pang-seeing me and leave me freezing over the night. Maybe because I'm excited about moving into new place (moving into a flat. Its pretty much the size of a 3-room apartment with my dota and ps2 buddie Roy). Maybe because I've become a shopoholic who relies on retail therapy to cope with students claim to be 'exam stress'. So yea, I've been out shopping abit hehe.

Also caught Mr and Mrs Smith on wed. Was at Carousel (the shopping mall in Perth, not the merry-go-round with plastic horses and sublimal music) with Chris n Ally. I think the show was ok apart from some really intelligent puns and the scene where brad and jolie are shooting people (I cant describe it, so I'm going to have to draw it). I mean its great for movie goers who are going to ogle at Jolie's boobs, ass, legs, lips etc (Chris), or get mesmerized by the handsome charm of Brad Pitt (Ally). But if ur a fan of neither, the show is super draggy and u end up getting restless and sleepy (me).

{Quote of the Day - Monday, June 13, 2005}

They say, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. "
Yeah...whatever.

After pretty much non-stop studying for my Microeconomics233 exam, it now looks like the following to me:

"Before you undertake some activity, take into account its external marginal benefits and cost. "
Welcome to the world of economics.

{What a week - Sunday, June 12, 2005}

So sorry that this might turn out to be a whinny or long winded post but....

What a week it has been. I swore it started out fantastic. I had my studying groove going, bought 2 fantastic CD's- Damien Rice's O and Coldplay's X&Y album and well things seemed to be going ok. As the week stretched on however, things just started to well, fall like a cannonball.

Study progress slowed down, and just yesterday, I had to go back on my word. Usually when someone gives me something and tells me not to pass it to anything else, I keep my word. The same goes for keeping secrets; or can I anymore?

A friend of mine was having real big problems with preparations for exams and called me around 1.30am to ask for help and also model answers (which I had promised tj not to pass anyone-it was a lot hard work which people shouldn't free-ride on). I was reluctant to give the model answers firstly, because I told tj that I wouldn't pass it around and secondly, because it was raining and I had to go all the way down to the trinity resource centre to print out copies when I could be spending my time studying. And well, the damn rain (which has been going on all week) and puddles of waters along the way weren't too pleasant.

Then again, I know that I cant just shut out someone in need of help, even if it is because of his/her ignorance which led to such a situation. Pretty sure TJ wasn't very approving of my carebear behaviour and he has every reason to think so. In the end though, I feel it was the right thing to do. But *sigh* I just hate going back on my word.

Moral issues aside, the International Finance paper today was a disaster. Somehow proving my hypothesis of Chenghuan's Effort Reflection Theory to be true.
R=1/kE+C
where R=results
E=effort put in
k=positive constant (exogenous)
C=Effective copying or plagarizing (without getting caught)

For some reason, I've been effort into things I do this semester. I had cut my warcraft to zero, spent more time studying and yet, my grades are at their all time worst. In previous semesters I was sooooooo slack and my grades were fine. PPPFFTTtt. Of course, I wont let this hypothesis (it is just a hypothesis afterall and I still have a chance to prove it wrong) get in my way because I cant imagine how I would have fared had I not put in any effort at all.

So there. So much for this week! Good luck to those who have exams the upcoming weeks!

{Random Photos - Wednesday, June 08, 2005}

Im going to be putting up random photos because i while i want to keep the blog updated, i think it would be most boring if i were to keep blabbering about how sucky my day was preparing for exams. So i'll just be posting random shots until something exciting happens.

Im reading thru my international finance book now and its talking about balance of payments, imports, exports, exchange rates and all sorts of other topics which will make me fall asleep after reading for an hr. Politics on the other hand, is sometimes more exciting... ...

{International Dinner (Asian theme) - Thursday, June 02, 2005}

Trinity's final formal dinner for the semester-Asian theme. How convenient hehe. All the asains just have to come dressed up as themselves and I plead guilty to the lack of effort in looking for 'costume'. Food was shit, wine was shit, dessert was kinda shit (even though i ate a lot), there was incense paper (hell notes which ppl burn for dead) on the table, the "Dragon dance" (which we know as a LION dance) was shit... ...but then again, I got to eat my first fortune cookie in a VERY VERY VERY long time. Fortune cookies are yummy, period. And even though i dont quite agree with "it is time to make more friends" which was written on the paper in it, i'll keep it in mind anyway ;)

Apart from the very pathetic, but very yummy cookie, the night was a blast. Good company always triumps over bad food, music and/or performances. How do u think i've been able to survive in Perth for so long?

Right. Time to hit my books again. Enjoy the pix and the chinese song!!!! Zai jian!
