what's next?

exam's over, cny is just round the corner, and the trip right after.

countdown begins as i marked the end of year 2 with the difficult microbiology paper. oh well, nothing to gloom over, it's already done! so ... 15 more days to fly.

packing shall commence soon. need to work for 5 more days, and i forsee that the remaining days will be packed - getting the things i need, cny shopping (half done), meeting up more friends whom i haven't been meeting for a long time, more mahjong sessions (i'm going to miss it in Perth definitely), singing sessions as well, spending more time with family over cny, doing some research on the project i'm on, and enjoying the very much deserved rest =D. actually ... i believe i still have a lot of time in hand. haha.

i'm lost in what to do on the 26th january, saturday. so much for complaining the amount of stuff to study for exams, now i'm actually feeling empty. after-exam blues? yes i say.

perhaps i should just start packing tomorrow. daily necessities and a diary. yes, a diary. haha.

do ask me out people. good night.

happy 19th birthday to me!

don't be misunderstood, i still have a couple more weeks to my birthday. haha. thank you my beloved and petite little friend for wishing me this early and making me a delightful gift. thank you sabrina!

just had lunch with her, and really, we hadn't chatted like we did before for a long time, so i was really excited to meeting her earlier today. chatted over lunch, on people, on school work, and ... randoms. haha.

suddenly ... i don't wish that my 19th birthday to come this early.

more meeting ups people! though i won't be away for long, i'm sure i gonna miss lots of you.

wohoho.

back at home now ... with notes nicely stacked infront of me. less than 2 more days to our first paper, and just roughly another 4 more days to end of exams. getting sick of studying i must say, but i shall, later.

wohoho.

together ... happily ever after ...

did anyone watch 'just married' on channel 5 just hours ago, or watch before in the theatres? aye, i thought it was a fairly good movie. haha.

before knowing each other, they thought they are beautiful. upon knowing their names, they thought i can't wait getting into bed with you. once holding hands, they never wanted to part. as they walked down the aisle and said 'i do', they really loved one another. then ...

problems surfaced.

people are like teabags - you only get to know how strong they are after steeping them for some time *quoted*.

many people get together thinking, well, we should get along. but after being together, they start pointing fingers. no, you should have added the garlic first. no, you should have turned right. no, we shouldn't even get married!

why that didn't occur in the past? when matchmakings were making blind dates worked out into 'perfect' marriages. time has changed!!! (i'm not that old! just turning 19 in less than a month's time.)

haha, finding the right person is hard. it always slipped away when i thought i had it. talk about solid soap~

you have to meet many wrong people before meeting the right one. *quoted*

good night =D

1 week

friday. 1 week is almost gone, just like that. hmm ... time was not constructively spent, but i did study what i need to study, so ... haha.

alright! i had homecooked pasta today. it was brilliant!

no, i didn't buy any pasta sauce or whatsoever, i did it on my own!! there wasn't any sauce actually, just olive oil and other ingredients. that was the best i ever tasted at home, haha! i named it ... Pasta la Ieremio~ haha!

i'm going to be more adventurous next time round with the choice of flavours to create my very on pastas. something that people can't buy outside. something extraordinary, close to heart, whatever.

it was my first attempt in making my own, so it was satisfactory. gonna learn more from shows like Jamie At Home and David Rocco's Dolce Vita to enhance my culinary skills, LOLS!

as usual, after every meal, i'll be wondering what to have next. that's just so jeremy~

hitting town soon. haven't been out for quite some time (except for working yesterday).

get the recipe from me if u want to have a taste of Pasta la Ieremio. haha!

i dreamt of you last night.

endless tortures of the human mind

the most treacherous event that could ever happen to your life, maybe not yours but mine, is not sitting for the many tests, is not having to wake up at 6am to go to work, is not fretting over the amount of workload accumulated from my stubborn procrastination, neither is missing my favourite soccer team trashing its closest rival 100-0 ...

then?

boredom.

especially a nice and warm sunday afternoon, having nothing much to do (yes, i have biostats to study for, but i'm more or less done with that). no one is asking you out, there're no interesting tv programmes to watch, and football manager is not at all that interesting anymore (on a losing streak, damn frustrating).

with 3 hours more to go before channel 5 airs Alien vs. Predator, i'm in a mental despair. i really have limited number of friends (hey wai ling, we're in the similar plight). not like i'm a sociable animal anyway, and i'm glad to have these people. but!!! they're all busy with their own lives. maybe i need to find people with 'no-life' and inject some into them. AvP2 tomorrow anyone?!

movies, i've missed a lot. the lame reason why i'm now waiting till channel 5 premiers the movie is ... i've forgotten the storyline. i'm never good at remembering shows that i've watched, much less the characters in a show.

probably i'll pick up some cooking skills later from my mum, it'll come in handy.

i need ... not time. i need ... people to ask me out. that'll be my ultimate motivation to study. i have 2 exams to study for, which will be on the 23rd and 25th this month. yea, just less than 2 more weeks to go, and i'm bloody hell sitting in the living room, blogging about nothing to do.

i should go and pick up a course when i come back. that'll spend my sundays away in future. oh ya, what happens to the determination of getting a driving license?!

damn~

it's pouring

dying of boredom soon. wayne is playing white puzzle. the rest are just lazing around feeling dead and worn out from all the tests and presentation. and it's pouring out there ...

we're all now waiting for wai ling's group to finish their presentation, and we can take a class photo (i see they're pretty excited that all of us are in formal wear today). just wish to get done and over with it.

still pondering how can i go home in the rain ...

less than 2 weeks to exams, and less than a month to attachment. the weather has been cruel these days ... it's still hot and sunny this morning.

btw, i'm hepatitis B-antibody negative. <-- how can that be?!

now i'm worried about the open house ... they spent our money on that and now it's raining, i believe it's going to be unsuccessful.

i'm talking nonsense at the moment.

it's almost all about the weather. yea, i love rainy days, but not when i'm out without a fucking umbrella.

ahh ...

good bye.

parents

first post of the new year. ok, it's going to be a self-reflective post, read it if you feel exactly like what i'm going to talk about later. i'm sure it's not going to be at all fantastic, but i hope to get something across people on an issue. well ... i'm writing this while listening to the album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge ... lols!

i've been reading quite a number of blogs ever since, or even before, i started creating and writing on my blog. blogs that voice discontents, 'depressions', anger and frustrations. they can be with regards to many things - bugs, homework, assignments, lecturers, friends, and even the closest people to them, their family.

i myself had spoken bad about my sister (just a few posts before) and also my dad. well, it's true i can't stand their attitudes towards many things, and i've never hid my discontents at all infront of them, venting my frustrations on my book or bag or whatever was with me at that moment. and of course, on my blog as well =D.

after reading a few blogs recently, many of my friends had been pretty disgruntled by the fact that their parents were not what they think parents should be. things like parents being self-centred, screaming at the top of their lungs for no particular reason, and nagging at them.

well we've always complained that parents are not able to understand what we want, how we really feel. on the other hand, had any of us really thought of how are they feeling? the things they do, are there any reasons behind them? yes, parents keep thinking they're always right, but is there really no method for a child and his/her parents to calmly tell each other what they're unhappy of?

as we grow older, we get a little more opinionated. we start to find faults in them. but who dares to say he/she is perfect? come to think again, you're here complaining and not really doing anything to rectify the problem, don't you think you're just acting like the way your parents behave? feeling that you're right, and they're wrong.

it's only human to make mistakes, as we are not perfect. sometimes whatever they did can be wrong, and they don't accept criticism. by saying this, i'm saying that most of us are using the wrong approach to tell them they're wrong. we simply put up a fucked up face, slam the door and walk out of the room. actually, we can all voice opinions in a polite and correct manner, without resorting to verbal abuse. when we don't try, we never know.

people tend to always look at the bad points, and just an error will strike out your previous good records. it's like a dot on a paper - a clean piece of paper seems nice and white; a similar piece of paper with a black dot in the middle is deemed dirty. if only we can draw positives from negatives, look at each other good points and put ourselves in their shoes, perhaps mutual understanding can be achieved without much effort.

think about this - for the past 10, 20 years, who have been always there providing for you, supporting you and moulding you in the person you are now? have they not brought you into this world, think about how much you will be missing. yes, many said 'life sucks'. well, does it really suck that much? ever compare yourself to the people leading a much poorer life than you do? in actual fact, we're really fortunate to have caring parents by our side all the time, protecting us and supporting our decisions.

now you must be thinking, jeremy must be an fucking idiot. he doesn't quite understand how i feel, and trying to act as if he knows everything, giving advices that will never work and telling others what to do the way he-knows-how. to be frank, i really don't understand how you all might feel, and if you feel that i'm just a person loaded with crap, then that makes you yet another person who thinks highly of yourself. i'm no advisor or counsellor, i'm just some one writing in this blog to suggest to people what we can do to probably improve communication between parents and you. you can heed it, or ignore it, but you can't criticize, as you're not even sensible enough to care about how others feel. i keep discussions open, but don't abuse your rights and start criticizing every single word i've written.

guess i'll just end this here. do give it a serious thought, and try to come up with ways to tackle your problem. it's ok to complain, but the things you do after that must be constructive to correct the problem you're facing, and not continue to complain like the whole world owes you something in life.

that's all for the day =D.
