Pursuit of Happyness

Finally! two of my assignments done and submitted. Before tat I was thinking about not finishing.. Well, thank God.

Next will be finals and also accounting information system project. The good thing is that I only have one assignment to go, but the bad thing is that I have totally no idea of how to get it done for that subject.

Final exam is on the 13th, 16th, 23rd, and 24th. Then I'll be back to Singapore on the 26th of June. Cool, can't wait.

Swine flu is hitting and everyone seems to be so scare. God, please get thing away for good. Amen.

What a bad time it is to be sick now.. 2 more days to school reopening and I'm like still having 1 undone assignment which is to be submitted on Tuesday. My body is telling me to rest but my my is all about assignments..**coughing.

This semester has been like a jungle to me, LOST! Lost the sense to fight and lost the motivation to study. Need to get it back and refocus on my goals.

Pray for me. FIGHT ON!

What a game it is! Liverpool 4 - 4 Chelsea. Until now I still can't believe it's 4 - 4. Hopes were so high for the kop when we were 2 goals up during half time. Well, wake up call to the both teams. Indeed Chelsea came out different after the half time. Don't really know what Hiddink told his players but they were incredible to come back with 4 goals in the second half. Anyway, Liverpool is out and now its time to fully focus on the English Premier League trophy.

It's onto my 3rd day of my 2 weeks break. I can't believe I'm still stuck with assignments after assignments. Sometimes I just love mid semester for some reasons. Just get it over and done with. Assignments are like a baskets of dirty clothings and basin filled with dirty dishes. You want to do it but lazy or do not know where to start. I'm so having that feeling right now. Journals after journals filled the space in my hard disk and computer. I am so so so dead sick of reading journals; it really kills of my interest to read as well. Some subjects are indeed good to know but insane to write and Accounting Theory is one subject driving me crazy now.

Arghhhh....

It's 4.32 am Australia time now and I'm all awake typing this blog. I just sent Ying to Jolimont Bus terminal to see her off to Sydney for her AIESEC conference. I know it will all turn out well for her. She'll be back on Sunday.

My house is really in a mess right now and I will make it clean. Sometimes I just like doing housework alone where everything is kinda following my pace and everything sorted out in the position I wanted. It feels good.

Until now, I am still thinking about the conversation I had with KC with regards to the appointment of CSM. I suggested making them apply for it like a job application. I think my suggestion makes sense because eventually they will still have to face it in the real working world. So why not train them to do it now? I felt that with officers making the vote, sometimes biasness sets in and the boy naturally know that he will be the chosen one. I know this is hard but we should try to eliminae this. I felt that making them apply and work through interviews will help them in their future and make them work harder and cherish the post even more. Whether or not the boys will be brave enough to apply will be another topic. Anyway, just my opinion.

Jacq and JY got a house! Natura Loft! haha. We're so happy for her and JY. Seeing our friends building a home and establishing a family really fills joy in my heart. Both ying and I will pray for God to supply their needs just like how he fed the 5000. I wonder when will be my turn. haha. God tells me. Anyway, let's not worry about it.

Finally the IARU results were out and both Ying and I weren't selected to go Peking University. Well, bad luck, try harder. It's ok I guess. This means that I have more spare time in Singapore before heading off to LA for our exchange. I just pray for a decent home to stay in and enjoy our hearts out in LA.

Sleeping time.

Dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe

Over the past 2 weeks had been busy with my law and Accounting theory assignments and also, quite tired and lazy to blog. Anyway, I just need to hang on there and rest on God as the 2 weeks break is drawing near. I really really need that 2 weeks where I will use it to catch up on my readings and also to spent time with my sister in Sydney.

Pretty disappointed now as both Ying and I did not get the IARU exchange to Beijing. We so want to go there. Well, I think I should reflect on today's bible study topic and also Philippians 2:14-16:

"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without faut in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hole out the word of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing."

Though we got rejected for Beijing, we are still accepted to USC in LA which is God's blessing too. Apply for housing in USC can be a chore. It's really confusing and we did not know that the housing are GENDER SPECIFIC, which means whole building is either all GUYS, or GIRLS. Thats weird and come on, we are into the 21st century and there's still such things, oh please.

I must thank God for blessing me with the membership to Golden Key International Honour Society. This is awarded to top 15% of the cohort and I must say God has been the mastermind behind all this and not on my own effort. Thank you Father. Exams is coming next week and I continue to pray for wisdom and time management for both me and Ying.

Alright, going to shower now.

I do not understand why. Nothing seems to be going into my head. I really don't know why. Is it block?

After a week, I've finally decided to take up the Accounting Honours Seminar. Lets keep fingers crossed. I later re-decided to take it up also because it might look good in my resume. Anyway, decision is final. Let hope there's not too much work for this seminar.

Just did up the application for this AIESEC Association. It just started this year in ANU but this is the largest student association in the world. What it does is that they have opportunities to go for overseas exchange and internships. As they just started, and looking for staff, I thought why not just try applying for it. If got selected, good, if not, no harm. I was surfing around the web and thought that this was quite a good association. It allows you to enhance leadership skills, and also international exchanges.

I missed out on the selection for ANUFC soccer because I dont see the point and anyway, I've be leaving in July and wont be taking part in the competition.

Both me and Ying had a long chat with our pastor yesterday and I felt it was quite an eye opener and it really widens my thought on unmarried couples living together. In particular, he was saying that by living as a married couple while being unmarried, we actually reduce the value of marriage. Although some people might think otherwise, but I felt that what he said was particular true. Living together might also make us so used to each other and thus result in no new topics to share. Living apart is also a way of being accountable for each other and also a test on the relationship (whether or not we be truthful to each other).

It's the end of week 1 and I have yet to start on my readings. All I did was going running, soccer and more soccer. I guess I'm just mad about soccer nowadays. I guess I will have to kick my own ass and get on with the books and remain on track with my goals which is a Distinction for all subjects.

I'm confused right now as both me and Ying were invited to do an Accounting Honours Seminar by the Accounting School Professor and we were both contemplating on doing it. For me, the seminar clashes with one of my classes and on the other hand, I do not want to commit to too much work and later not able to do it well. I'm confused... should I or should I not take it up? somebody advise me.

This semester, I had a new Bible Study Leader (Tim) and I think he's a great guy and I'm comfortable talking to him. So I'm thankful to God for sending him, helping to guide me in this area and aligning me back on track.

Its 11.35am now and I've been in the lab for almost 3 hours. We're crazy I think. From an empty lab, to people waiting for computers. haha. I think we are overboard.

We came here doing up the application for the International Alliance Research Universities (IARU) Exchange with Peking University. Yes Yes Yes... I know, we want to travel again. This time is to China - Beijing. Basically, Ying and I just want to take this time to travel to as many countries as possible before we cannot do that anymore. Also, this serve as a motivation for us to do well for our exams. So far so good. with 5 HDs 3 Ds and 2 Credits to my account. I hope to strive for more HDs for the rest of the 3 semesters (2 with ANU and 1 with USC). Basically getting this exchange opportunity will be a honor because it is fully sponsored by ANU. Anyway, I had always wanted to learn more about China and I think it is a good opportunity. Anyway, there's no harm trying.

School is starting again. After this semester, we'll be travelling west to US for an exchange with the Marshall School of Business. Lets pray hard that we will enjoy it to the fullest and able to get an internship there (which I had always wanted).

Enough said.
