planned to go for furniture shoppin today… but couldnt wake up in time.. hahha… after the whole nite trying to locate the stores.. oh well…
have to go bed early tonite.. coz tomm have to wake up early for casual training….finally got casual works to do…
bought little alarm clock today for $3.00. my nokia alarm clock wouldnt work for some reason.. been using the notes as a reminder.. but i guess i need another device to get me up in the morning….
today is such a nice day.. relax and stufff…
the most surprising thing is… i got emails from some of my family members and my friends… 10 in total… never i received mails that much in one go… and around the same time i check.. u see.. i check my mails like 20 times a day.. and normally one or two from friends, the rest are just some from uni, jobs and stuff.. but late this hour, i got 10 from friends and family.. thats pretty weird hey?
phone calls too… my mobile never stop ringing today.. from sms to regular mobile calls… from as far as indonesia, south australia and local melb calls… pretty interesting.. im glad that there are people who want to know how i am and stuff…..hhehe..life is weird, i am weird.. hell.. everybody is weird! and God knows what gonna happen tommorrow… its just gonna be a normal, boring day!
meeting, meeting, and meeting. that was my life today.. but tommorrow i shall relax and look forward to it. Monday in Australia is always a good thing for me.. because the TV is really showing good stuff!!!
i recognised the importance of being patience today after several discussions i have with people and how me being patient has helped me a lot in gaining trust and also making a point about my character…. sometimes, there are only certain things that you can do. and only time will tell. and perhaps, people are upset and over-reacted when they are not on the driver’s seat….but today, i learned an important lesson. being patience will pay you off and offer your greater satisfaction.
things that need to be done/bought:
-clean apartment (again???) << my housemate moving out today
-buy new vacum cleaner
-buy new dining table and chairs
-buy mattress for my sis
-buy studydesk for my sis
-look out for mobile plan <<< prepaid is expensive
-buy adsl modem/sign up for adsl
there are so many things and so little time and i am lazy. serve me right!
i added calendar option to the right hand dynamic panel, so that you guys can view when i am busy and when i am not. thanks to yahoo calendar… its really great that i can even sync them with my palm.
today is another unproductive days… but everyday is…grrrr grrrrr….i have been sleepin at 6am in the morning and waking up at 1pm in the afternoon.. my biological clock is surely mess up. i also got a notice from the post office that my packages have arrived. i bet those are the three boxes i sent long time ago from the States. finally.. all my personal belongings have arrived. gotta claim them tommorrow.. and running another set of errands… i hate errands.. u keep postponing them till they piled up.. but its a great feeling to get rid of them.. and tommorrow is the day when they will be all gone. hopefully.
finally the speculation over where the most popular soccer player gonna settle down is ended today. Beckham is set to move to Real Madrid in a 30 million dollars euro move that would give the necessary capital injections to re-strenghten the club. i am sad to see one of my idol actually decided to move from my soccer team. fortunately, it is to real madrid not to barcelona as speculated before. I have always maintained my interests in United and Real. So, its not such a bad news. I will still support United.. however, when it comes to Real vs United, i will not know how i will stand. just like how it is now and how it was in the past.
today, i was spending 5 hours in an executive meeting at our student union. i was in the end, becoming the minute taker as the meeting was going on longer than it should have been. but this has always been a constant routine for any student union’s meeting anyway.
life is pretty boring now.. with me having nothing to do. all my friends are engaged in finals, thus only few can actually go out with me in between their exam times. oh well, the time will surely pass.. with me finding something to do.. even if that means, playing with chester and sasha…who have been my loyal company ever since i got back in melb.
this is definitely one weakness that i have never been proud of. everytime i do my groceries shopping and decide to get eggs, once i reach home, at least.. and at least.. one of them will break. but never in my history, i committed such a outrageous crime as today…. i bought a tray of 30 eggs.. and when i reach home… only 13 survives… fully.. and another 3 straight to the frying pan…
the rest is history (see pic below)
i have been talking about chester and sasha.. but i guess u have never seen their pictures….
on the left is chester…. he is the naughtiest amongst the two. and on the right is sasha… she is eating her JUNK and UNHEALTHY food on a SCALE…. she is clever…. human should learn from her… eating on a scale.. then obesity wont be much of a problem for most australians anymore…. certainly..her owner didnt pick up this important lesson…
life is like a balloon. it has a start and it has an end. but there are different kind of balloons. some of them are filled by normal air. some of them are filled by helium. the one with helium can travel as far as it wants if it was let free. but was it ‘freedom’? is it better to be a baloon with a helium, thus can fly. or is it better to be a balloon with normal air and just stay still. if one is to quantify how the quality of life of the balloon by the company it made while its still alive.. perhaps, the normal balloon has more freedom in the sense that human doesnt have to tie them to something coz it has no power to run away. unlike the helium one, where human has to be constantly watching it, making sure that it wont fly away. but whatever it is, it doesnt matter. coz at the end of the day, both of them, will be flat. it is what you appreciate in between that are important. how you manage to live your life just like the balloon. im sure the helium one keeps sneering at the normal one, and says “u have no freedom”. and the normal one keeps saying to the helium one… whats the use of freedom if u have to be tied back and only be free at the mercy of the person who is giving us life. but unfortunately, many of us forget who has created us. many of us were given that freedom. and when we have that freedom, we will go ashtray. just like the helium.. who doesnt have control over where it is going, even if it was given freedom. fortunately, there are always winds out there who will direct where it goes. unfortunately, there are some bad winds which will distruct it in no time. bringing it not to a normal ending for a balloon (i.e. being flat)… but stuck it on a tree.. and being blown up by the sharp branches…. all in all, there is always the beginning and the end. what matters is what goes in between.
ok..im a self-declared zombie now. for the past two nights, i have hard time sleeping. i kept thinking and thinking and thinking. my mind wouldnt shut. why do we always have problem. some of them are uncontrollable. despite your effort to shut your mind off, it keeps haunting you. i hate this feeling. they are not nice at all. i cannot even concentrate in whatever i am doing now. i cannot even think properly on what i am supposed to do in life.
family has always been a problem from me right from the start. they are the one who have supported me all this while. but at the same time, they are the source of my misery as well. bad things never run out from our family’s encyclopedia. there are always problems and problems and problems. do they upset me? yes. like what i have said before.. i cannot function properly here coz i keep thinking about them.. and of course.. the feeling of uselessness because im far away from them always there…constantly… this is bad. i am not the person i know now. i dont even know what i am writing right now. i took a long hot shower already…but been turning myself around my bed all the time… even chester and sasha keep ‘miaw’-ing.. maybe they now understand the misery i am in. my frustration doesnt stop there… i just feel like a vegetable zombie who cant do anything….will somebody please call a hotline to God to end this misery soon? maybe God is busy now… i dont even know how many hotlines He is running. too many troubles in this world. cant wait until Sunday, before i go to His house.. asking for all the lights i need to continue moving on from this miserable state i am in now. its so dark here.. but as they always say….there is always light at the end of the tunnel.. the only problem is.. i am blind now. and cant see that light.
