It nearly dawned................

Assignment rush never ends

I stayed up all two nights.... this is because my darn assignment. The assignment is due on Fri, but I have to finish my portion as this is a group work. Actually, I havnt finished my portion. What? You say that 'don write new post and concentrate on the assignment'?? Yup, you can say dat again..
But this class is weird!! I took Hospitality Service 1, but the class is held for both Hospitality 1 and 2 students!! 1 is for freshman, and 2 is for sophomore, but both 1 and 2 students are taking completely the same class on Fri!!!! Why should I study harder to catch up with Hospitality 2 students?? Its too much to ask, prof. N****!!! What a lazy prof..... Yah, now Im quite sure that I will fail this class. But still I hav to work hard for my group member who are going to pass the class. Yah, complaiming is meaningless...
I wish I were a bird...
oh no, here is Australia, so..
I wish I were a koala!!!!!!!!

Interesting website

I found an interesting website about hunger;
http://www.food-force.com/
I checked it briefly, though! If ya interested, visit the site^^

Hi everyone.
Im stuck on my assignments.... even I try to escape them, its no use... thats really sucks..
When I was browsing on the internet (oh, let me say--- its just for refreshment! hahah), I found a song I heard once. My friend brought his frens CD and I listened to the song with my PC. It was good song.... yah, but I was oblivious of the song. Then I hapened to meet the song again. And when I listened to the song, it was much much more impressive sounds.... I don know why, but, yah, it was. But guess wat? The lyrics was written in Chinese and I couldnt understand what he was singing.... all I could do was just guess the meaning from the Chinese letters. you know Japanese uses Chinese letters, and some of those letters are still common in China and Japan. Hmm... I have too many things to learn now..
HEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY my 21st birthday is comingggggggggggggg******************** I hope happy thing will happen ;)

Hi mates!
I had a sports event yesterday. Some of my friends played soccer, badminton, volleyball and basketball. It was more like...the event for fun, counter to my expectation. so... I think I will join the event next semester!!! Im not good at playing sports, but I like playing sports as well as watching them, actually!
Last night, my friend talked to me on MSN and we had a chat for a while. He is a few years older than me, so sometimes he is like my brother. He gave me some advice. I lost one of my friends, you know, but still I have some good friends here who listen to me and care me in their faith. He encouraged me a lot.
So, what exciting and happy thing will I hav today?

The Best and the Most Exciting Game I Have Ever Seen!!!!!!

Im back from the sports centre now. Especially tonite, they did reeeallyyy reeeaaallyyyy welll!!!!!! We're soooooooo excited!!!!! Did they finally start practicing!???? I don know, but anyway anyway, the game was great^^ Now Im looking forward to seeing next games!!!!!
I wish I could play sports......!!!! You know, Im not sort of sporty... and alwayz got 'so-so' mark at school.
The big event is coming now. Sports event of residents here VS residents in another Student Village. Sounds fun, er?　But I wont join, I will jst watch the games! Watching sports is fun! Even I cant understand the rule.

Gratefulness for my family

Hi there. Since I started my life here, I have been following the current here. Japanese people are too shy to say thank you to their family, especially when they are hat in hand. So there are few occasion to say thank you..... you know what I mean? I think I am bad at explaining this characteristic of Japanese people... Anyway, I rarely say thank you for caring me to my family. and people here are more likely to say 'Oh, thank you mom, its so lovely!!....' or sth like that.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

SO.....

"When in Australia, do as Australians do"

Then I enclosed card to say thank you when I sent a birthday gift to my sister, and a mother's day gift to my mom. They were pleased! If i were in Japan, I wouldn't do this till the day of my wedding ceremony!! (In Japan, many brides are likely to read a letter to say thank you to their family, especially their parents during their wedding ceremonies.)

And a few days ago, I received a small package from my mom&sis. They sent me a birthday gift! and there are two cards in it. Hmmm I think this is a good experience! I live in Australia, sepalated from my family, but sending cards each other could be done thanks to this distance and a different culture I experienced here.

The Importance of the Thing is always noticed after it had gone.....

Yah, its very true.... recently I lost one of my friends. I mean I lost the relationship between us. He was my good friend. He always cared me, and was always good to me. So I wanted him to understand me, not only just having a nice chat about this and that---silly things, but it didn't go well. I was alwayz frustrated to make myself understood. Im not good at talking about complicated feelings.... its difficult to explaing as those feelings are intangible. Also, Japanse has many vocabularies to help us explain complicated feelings, but English doesn't. Theres no exact word to describe my feelings in English sometimes. And sometimes I feel like screaming, 'I cant describe how I feel coz theres no way to describe it!!!'
..... I know, my vocabularies are only a few and my English is hard to understand.
I'm depressed to know the difficulty of communication.

Sorry for whining! It will be only one whine on my blog!

Ina and Latif's birthdaysssss

As I told you guys, we had a party! Ina was surprised a lot!!! My friend and I cooked yakisoba and chirashizushi for the party. And I made Ina and Latif's BD cards! We enjoyed the party so muchhhhh!!!! Here in Australia, 21st BD is a big celebration. I ate chocolate cake! Hmmm.. chocolate is always nice!! I hope I will have a great BD as well.

Hey friends.
Im having a early dinner coz will go to see the basketball game later. I tried Chawanmushi tonite! Its Japanese dish. I think I did it so-so well. I made 2 cups of chawanmushi, so I will give 1 to my friend from Japan. Im not sure she will like it or hate it, though....
My classmate told me that shez interested in Japanese today. I was surprised but pleased!! and now Im just wondering, how many of you (I mean you----readers from overseas) are interested in Japanese/Japan... and why??

Ohhhh now I know who you are, Mr. Anonymous! Visit my blog sometimes even I know who you are!

I have nothing to write today.... I jus handed in my case study report today. Recently I alwayz writing bout assignment!! Hmmm.... I will go to ZEN---Japanese restaurant on Thu, but its also part of my group assignment. When Mayaya were in Perth, we went to ZEN to hav dinner!! and dishes there were so nice!!! I cant wait!!

Recently I try to study Spanish. I studied it for a year and a few weeks. I mean I took Spanish1 but dropped Spanish2. It was advisable dicision to drop Spanish2 coz the lecturer's way didnt go well with my way... But Im still interested in Spanish, so I wanna learn it!! My friend is studying Chinese and it is also interesting for me, though!!

Hi mates! I called it quits my assignments. It is around 1am now and I have to get up early to go to the lab to print out my report tomorrow. I will wake up around 10, though!! I have difficulty to get up recently.... on Sat, I went back to my bed even after I fell down from my bed!!!! It was my first time to fell down from bed, but still my sleepiness defeated the pain.... Hmm am I cracked?? Mayde the little devil whispered to me to go back to my bed.... How do you think, Mr/Ms. anonymous?? When will you tell me your identity??? Its still interesting, though.

Today my friend brought a package of fried rice to me. She was volunteering @uni event today and got some packages of fried rice for free. Lucky thing!! but I was more lucky coz I didnt help anything!! just stayed @my room and doin assignment and eating snacks......

Guess wat!? It is May now!! There are many May babies here....6 May babies, as far as I know. In this weekend, I have a bd party for Ina and Latif. We told Ina that we could not have a party on her birthday coz we're bz..... but of course this is lie!! and we're planning surprise party! Sounds lovely, er?? Latif's birthday is the day after Ina's, so when the date changes (@o:oo) the bd party changes for Latif's!! Hmmm, nice..... Even if the day after Latif's bd is a due of my Tourism journal....

BFN guys!

Hellowww! Now I finished my case study report!!!! Yahoooooooo!!!! It was tough one!!! I still have 2 tough ones, though....anyway their due dates are end of May, so no worries^^; I have 2 journals due on this Wednesday and on next Monday, but its not such hard ones so still ok!! ... am I too optimistic???
Yayayayahhh I enjoyed the party!! I didnt hav time to prepare costume to be Angel/Devil/Super hero, but my housemate lent me an Angel's ring. Soo... I wore usual clothes, and an Angel's ring on my head.... A bit strange? Maybe I was a nearly-fallen angel without wings! hahah.. OOops! Who is anonymous!??? Im evil and alwayz hiding my little devil... but how come you can see her?? hehee.. That was my first costume party, so I was too shy to wear something odd (Yup Thats also the reason why I couldnt wear special costume for the party)... but I will be disguised on Halloween!! I think I will disguise myself as something related to Japan--- but have no good idea yet. Do you guys think of any good ones???
After the party, my friends and I went to the club together and had so much fun there too. Soooo.... It was soooooo much fun!! xept the terrible test.....!!!!! AAaaaarrrghhh--------........
