Been a while since the last update, it doesn't feel that long huh.
Guess when you have stuff to do, time goes by much faster.
Week 2 has been good. Getting to know some a little better, meeting new people also!
Assignments and reports are starting to pile up. Scary! Next week onwards will be tricky. If I continue to work like a sloth I could be in for some serious panda eyes! T_T
I still haven't watched Inception! Heard everyone say it's awesome. I watched Shutter Island not too long ago and I thought the plot was genius. Really didn't expect it to end that way. The twist towards the end reminded me of the movie 'Orphan', yes the one with the scary Estonian girl Esther hahaha! You guys should watch it if you haven't, definitely wouldn't see it coming!
Things are going kind of slow (Yeah I know I said time flies, how ironic huh). I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the routine student life. Suddenly I can't wait for the summer break to come. But right now I'm also considering doing a summer semester. Some of my course mates plan to do it.
During the summer break, you can opt for a short semester (jan to feb) doing only Business electives so that during the regular semesters next year, you will only need to do 3 units in one sem instead of 4.
In other words, it lightens the load. But the catch is obviously having to sacrifice the summer break. Not sure if I want to do that. But it would be really neat to only do 3 units during the normal semesters, esp next year when the subjects get tougher! Pros and cons lah.
Will think about that for a while. Till the next update, take care y'all :)

Problems... look at it differently
Hello.
Not sure how I feel bout this sem yet. I see pros and cons. Guess it all has to do with adjusting.
I'm going through the whole stressed-scared-lazy roller coaster again.
An interesting feature I read in The Star recently left a deep impression in my mind. Did you guys read about the homeless people living on the streets of KL? It was sad ya know... to think that there are ppl sleeping on streets not too far away from home, the ones you and I have walked on. With no bed, no blanket when it gets cold, what happens if it starts raining? Doubt any of us can imagine what they go through.
Compared to that, the problems that we have to deal with seem so petty. Stuff that is stressing me out lately really is NOTHING compared to the real shit some ppl have to go through. I mean no matter how bad my day goes at least I still have a bed to go to at the end of it.
SO I guess this is my way of saying I'm thankful for all things and people I have around me. Also, the problems I face are not really problems.
And I should stop worrying about trying to change myself just so others will think better of me. There's always a part of me that worries about how others see me, which when I think about it now seems pathetic. I think it's so much cooler to be yourself, stay original ;)
Conclusion:
We should focus on helping people with real problems! I promise I will try.

Bring on #3
Ahhhh 3rd sem starts tomorrow! Boohoo :(
Will be doing Year 2 units, doesn't take a genius to figure that it's gonna be tougher than Year 1.
A couple of things happened since my previous update. To combat the boredom I went to Melaka! Chilled at my sis' place for 2 days. Had some nice food, visited some tourist sites lol. Something about small towns that is relaxing :)
Last sem's results came out on Friday. Erm I guess the grades were expected, but deep down I was wishing for something a lil better. Slight decline from sem1. Oh well it's still good IMO.
And I'm quite proud to say that I studied quite consistently for this exam, NO last minute rushing for once!
Something even better to cheer about is that I managed to change that 1 little annoyance in my timetable. In other words, my timetable is now allocated to exactly the way I want! I consider this a victory :)
So another fresh start tomorrow.
Hope I can wake up in time.
Have a tendency to oversleep on first days hahaha :p

B-O-R-E-D
You know when someone spells it out in capital letters separated by dashes they mean what they say. BIG TIME :P
For once I'm blogging out of boredom. Maybe I have done so subconsciously before, but this time it's O-B-V-I-O-U-S hahaha.
This boredom couldn't be more timely (btw I say 'timely' quite often). My 3rd sem in Monash kicks off next Monday (here I say 'kick' as a reference to the recently concluded World Cup). (Wow now I'm just saying everything out L-O-U-D).
Now might be the time for you to close this window but wait I actually have stuff to say...
Erm like today the allocation system for our timetable opened and I see everyone talking bout it on facebook. I don't enjoy this process that happens every semester. Basically it's stressful when you can't get into the class of your preference, and ppl start fighting for it since it's first come first serve. Yeah thankfully my timetable is decent. Just one thing which I would L-O-V-E to change, so I'll keep an eye out, like an eagle. (OK I know the eagle part was unnecessary).
(Hmmmm as I'm typing this I can feel some insect nibbling my legs but I can't seem to find it. Ahhhhh itchy!)
OK back to post.
The holidays have gone by way too fast. 3 weeks seem like 1. Basically I did nothing other than spend money & play games & watch TV. But it's good to relax like this once in a while, especially when you know the months to come will be extremely tiring.
OH I have really been enjoying Kylie's 'Aphrodite' album, thanks to my sis who bought me the CD from UK! Apparently Aphrodite is not available in M'sia yet. (Sucks rite).
Aphrodite is awesome. Many fans call it her best album yet, I have to agree. After listening to all 12 tracks, you will automatically press play again. It makes you want more. I can't say it was the same case for all her previous albums.
Alrite time to call it a night.
Thanks for helping me kill time. Hope I didn't pass on the BOREDOM to you as you read this :P
Good nite! (If you're reading this during the day then Good Morning / Good Afternoon!) LOL

Introducing......
Hey you guys know how I'm always working on something particularly when I'm on holiday?
Well I'm at it again.
Last year I came up with Yhart Sale, now I'm here with something less ambitious, but still exciting (for me at least)! Okay I know some of you might see my personal projects as self indulgent crap, but really I find satisfaction in it hahaha so I'm just gonna keep on doing my thing :p
I really enjoy music, I depend on it to get through all kinds of situations. I like to keep an eye out for the latest, and I would like to think I have a good ear.
And then there's also the side of me that enjoys writing. Blogging, used to write poems, stories just to get a kick out of it. Generally I think people who don't talk much are way better at expressing themselves through art. And since I suck at painting, writing is considered my art form.
So you take MUSIC + WRITING = MUSIC BLOG!
Right! Right? Rightttt? Anyone else feeling the vibe?
OK Well please just check out my new blog Boombox.
http://yhboombox.blogspot.com/
From now on, anything I have to say about music will end up there and not here. It's fun isn't it?
I feel like a brand you know, first Yhart Sale and now Boombox, I have other ideas like maybe a food blog or something. To feed my ego LOL.
NO, it's me branching out. Yeah that's what I'm doing.
Cheers :)

It Happens Eventually
Just back from a farewell dinner.
SERIOUSLY full.
'All you can eat' promotion at a Chinese restaurant in Puchong. We ordered so many dishes it's scary and amazing at the same time. As good as a buffet.
Kinda sad though.
We have had plenty of farewells before but somehow this time it's different. The gang is getting much more apart. And in completely different directions... Sabah, Kedah and Singapore. And more will go off early next year. I foresee there will be minimal chances to meet :(
But I bet distance won't change the quality of our bond. There's just too much awesome memories from the old days that I'll never forget, I hope it's the same for all of them too.
It's actually super cool to see how all of us have grown, furthering our education in different directions, venturing into different industries.
I can picture us all meeting together like tonight in N years. Most of us would be working, some might be doing their masters... We would have changed but we'll still be the same. Laughing about the funny/lame stuff that I can only see myself comfortably crapping with this gang. There's just an easiness I feel with this bunch.
Like the kind you feel with family. There I said it.
Take care y'all! Till our next gathering :)
