after a really long break...
sorry i've been busy!! doing assignments and rushing for deadline! x) well, it's been fun doing assignments honestly x) well i particularly liked the one for my exercise unit. it was about the arousal-performance relationship in sports. and honestly, i tink i learn so much more about it after doing the assignment (: and if you were wondering why i was motivated, this iz the reason why i'm motivated! (: (: (:
so yeah, 2 assignments down, 2more to go. one due in early may, the other in late may. lotsa work to do but i do deserve a break for now do i? haha x) haven done any work yet. gonna have to start revisions tmr already. :D
yupp, few interesting things i've comed across in the meantime.
i realized that aussies have small butts :p
okay, that was quite crude.
and no, i'm not becoming a second shu :D
i didnt notice it until i saw a poster on the busstop that referred to the female bodies as apple or hourglass. and i was wondering why apple cuz back at home, it's only pear. haha :D
so haha, apple Vs. pear. it's like it's in our genes that we are heavier at our bottom while australians are heavier on top. yeahhhhh, and haha, i cant deny that sometimes i do wish that i had australian genes though! x)
anyway, back to reality..
i've been helping my lecturer with one of his research programmes for a while (: it's been really fun working with him and helping him. because of that, he requested for some help with videoing a teaching material for one of the units in school. that was the best experience i've had so far. (: i've learnt alot of stuff from juz that day. doing the different forms of exercise first-hand, and 2years in advance of my course. how good can that be (:
well, honestly, i have to thank God for bringing me here to Australia. i've learnt so much more stuff than i could ever ask for in merely 6weeks into university.
taking the first step and God plans the next few steps for you.
i took the first step to help the research programme, and God planned the next few steps to open opportunities to help further with stuff 2years ahead in time, He planned the next few steps of a better relationship with my lecturers who will be vital help for my years of studying here.
and talking about that, while working together with my lecturer, i found out that a new nickname his colleagues have for him iz "kungfu panda". HAHA! :D that was a hilarious moment when he found out. haha. not that he's fat, it's cuz he does karate :p and it was so funny, he couldnt say chin-tuck without getting tongue tied. x) nuck-vin. dunno what he said, but we had to NG because of that x) i couldnt stop laughing x)
i guess there's so many things that i can actually thank God for. simply, for making me who i am. for making me outgoing, fun-loving and easily adaptable wherever i am.
there is this advert here for some diet programme and it said this, "if it has been useful and effective for me for 2years, how can you not want to share it with others?" and more than it's a diet programme, there was this realization that God iz juz like that as well. if my life has been changed and improved for the better, how can i not want to share it with others? how can i not want that?
_______________________________
well, some happenings that have been going on so far (:
being a permanent tourist here in Melbourne, i decided to hop over to one of the attractions in Melbourne (: St.Kilda's beach.
apparently i popped over on a not so sunny day ):and john was suppose to join me but he was busy. so yeah, i had a short tourist look at St.Kilda. it was pretty, but nothing much to do. haha x) so after a short walk and bumping into Amanda and Yinglin, i bought myself COLD ROCK ice-cream (like ice cream chef!) and headed back to the city (:
second thing i wanna thank God for iz for the making me volunteer myself for Wish Day 2009 (: i chanced upon the opening in my school's employment webbie. and for a good cause, i gained experience AND i gained new friends (:
and through that, i gained an opportunity to maximise my Australia experience by immersing in the culture of Austalian sports - the footy(australian football). it's smth like rugby with guys tackling guys, but less of the stacking part. it was really fun. well, because i volunteered, the chance to volunteer for an additional day was open, and with that opportunity came a free ticket to watch the footy game LIVE at the stadium. and not only that, it was going with someone who's experience(footy fan), and he quickly became our "teacher" of footy, explaining to us the on-going of the game. i really enjoyed myself there (: a valueable experience i've earned.well i guess being a asset doesnt only apply in the arena of your work and education. being a asset to me has expanded into excellence into everything i do. for Wish Day, it was being an asset to society when i gain favour from men in rattling tins and getting literally heavy returns in the form of donations(i did better than most people!). and in turn, it was making a difference in some kid's life by making it happier for them to live day by day (:
and before i end (:
here's more food for you.
tuna pasta with fried chicken, horfun, baked potatoes and my first taste of fish (:i'm really making the most out of everything i have here right now.
i'm really happy that naddie will be coming this june. and together with john, we're gonna be having a heck of a time here (:
and i really thank God that despite me being here in Australia, i still have the opportunities to make a difference in the kiddo's lives (:
i miss you guys back at home!
