Back From Disappearance

22nd April 2010
81st Day in Melbourne
Sunny

I haven't been updating my blog for awhile, reason being that i've max out my broadband usage so have to wait till the next cycle starts...But of course, i'm also busy with many of the assignments and tests :)

Had been analysing the research data for 2 weeks, and i must say the data looks like CRAP!!!!!!! REALLY!! When i look at the data, i can't help but think how good of a job we've done with S-LABS data...this data that i'm analysing is less in structure and plenty of missing data everywhere!! Although the results of the data looks crap, just like S-LABS data, but still, the basic foundation of the data management is messy to the point that i got lost through just 1/3 of the data..

Had my neuropsych practical test yesterday...i was dead nervous, though i had experience in administering the tests..but still! Anyway, i went for the test and before i left the room, the examiner said: "btw, my birth-date is XXX"....Can you believe it??? I actually forgot to ask him for his date of birth, the most important piece of info for me to calculate his scores!!! Gosh, i was really nervous! Besides that, i thought i did pretty okay, but as i was walking home, i realized another huge mistake i've made during the test! Damned!! Why did i think about the mistake? It'd have been ignorance is bliss if i didn't know about it...now that i know, i can't help thinking about the mistakes! URGH!!!

However, last night's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale made my day! Robbie Kmetoni was crowned Australia's favorite dancer!! YEAH!!!!!!!! I really like this guy, how he danced and his moves and fluidity on the stage...He kinda cute, with his short height and braces...hehe...seriously, watch him dance if you can, you'll be awed by him!

Then at night, i was checking my Singapore number and guess what?? CINDY HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO BABY JULLIAN 2 DAYS BACK!!!!!!!! And i didn't even check my phone!! I thought he's out like 2 weeks back and Cindy didn't tell me!! Hahah...guess that little fellow wants to stay inside mummy for a while longer...Really can't wait to see how he looks like? Hope not another mini Kee Han....i would love for him to look like pretty mummy this time..hehe

News from home always warm my heart :) Even though i'm miles away, this connection with home will always be right in my heart...I miss you all from Home!!

Easter with good tidings

2nd April 2010
61st Day in Melbourne
Cooling

Today's the Good Friday, national holiday here in Melbourne as well. Went to church in the city and no places are open on this day..you know how the Australians value their quality of life, so unlike Singaporeans who will make full use of holidays to make money, the Australians take time off...Besides, Easter is a family celebration, so all the more people wants to be with their family during this weekend.

2 days back, i had a chat with a very good friend (I know you're reading this), and she shared a piece of wonderful news with me....She got into the educational psych graduate program in Birmingham, UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my, I'm really happy and excited for her...Being friends since our Honours year, we're worked so hard and have graduated together....now, after so many years, we're always reaching our dreams!!! We never gave up, constantly searching our inner self and asking ourselves what we want and fought hard to achieve it...now, we're finally touching a bit of our dreams and in time to come, we'll get it!! Really PW, i'm soooooo happy for you! You've no idea how happy i was when you broke the news to me...it's just how you screamed in my ears when you heard that i've gotten into the DPsych program...hehe...But UK is so far away, and even if i want to visit you, it's soooooooooooooooo far!!!!! Promise me that we'll keep in touch when you're there k???

So Easter Sunday is all about resurrection and re-birth, so i guess both of us are living a new life now....I hope that my rebirth this Easter will make me a better person and never give up in believing what i've always believed. Greg and Yee Min have invited me to their friends' place for Easter dinner on Sunday, and i'm really looking forward to it...I know i've not made any friends since i came here, but i really thank God for bring them here....

Happy Easter my friends!!!!!!
