Long Time No Blog~

2009-01-14T14:36:00.004+09:00

It has been QUITE awhile since i last blogged. Xp how r u guys doing? I am doing good in perth. I had my supplementary paper for pharmaceutics last week. Hope i did well..All i need is just pass. God please bless me!!

What did I do during the summer holiday? Nothing much..I have to prepare for my supp paper and working in pharmacy as 500 hours student all along..For those who doesnt know what 500 hours meant..500 hours is a compulsory time frame for all pharmacy students to complete before they start the 2000 hours which is the hour that graduated pharmacy students need to work before they can take the VIVA test to officially become a PHARMACIST. Have to go through so many process huh.

3 more days til HL come over to perth..i bet he is going to complain about the extremely hot weather here. hehe...I have to think of where should I bring him to..but i doubt if i have any time to bring him around perth bcoz I still have to work during the time he is here. Counting down to the time for me to go back HOME!! MALAYSIA!! I miss my parents as well..My colleague brought her parents to the pharmacy for some stuff yesterday. When I look at them, I miss my parents so much!! >
Emily, Yin or Jayme, ZK and I went to city beach on last sunday, a day with 38 degree celcius!! after the afternoon with money flying out of my bank account. Why? This is because we just spent lots of money getting souvenirs and abalone that is supposingly only available in Australia. The beach is located somewhere around cottlesloe or further? That was the first time i went to a beach during summer. It was so crowded as you can see there are alot of ppl having their picnic, sun bathing and surfing. We had fun getting ourselves being dragged into the sea by the waves, shouting here and there and pulling each other up. It was so funny. It was too bad that we didnt bring our phone and camera along with us because we dont want to look after those things and wanted to just have fun.

In the mean time, my good friend BehBeh went back to Malaysia..but too bad I couldnt meet up with her this time. I really miss her~ I hope I will be able to meet her next year.

To be continued~

part 2 of 2008

2008-09-05T22:55:00.002+08:00

Second semester of uni is actually less tense than the first semester and this causing me slacked a lot which is not a good sign. I should be sitting in front of the table and starts revising all the lectures that I did not pay full attention to. BUT…I am now sitting in front of the laptop and blogging. Omg..what am I doing?? Just can’t help it because after I’ve looked through few slides of my notes I started to feel sleepy and its only 10pm now..how could I sleep so early without doing anything? That’s why I started to blog..at least I’ve done something today. XP

Last week was my first study-free break which is totally a bullsxxt because I always have something going on after the break which are pharmaceutics midterm test and pharm prac counseling test. Btw, although there will be test after the break but this did not stop us from going to Margaret river during the break. Woohoo..first time exploring perth by ourselves…Its totally by ourselves as we rented the cars, drove all the way there and booking a nice beach resort by ourselves. Hehe.. I had my first driving experience in Australia after staying here for half a year. I was nervous at first because as everyone knowledge..malaysian drivers drive ‘slow’ly and ‘always’ follow the rules. When I picked up the car and wanted to go back to vickery house, I got lost as I still don’t really know how to follow the instruction given by the miss GPS. (miss because the voice set in the GPS is a female voice XD) We had great days in Margaret River as we can temporarily forget about the test and just have fun!! We went to jewel caves, lake caves, light house, wineries and beaches. When we were in one of the beaches which I forgot the name of the beach, I think we saw whales!! Although its very very very far away…and I only saw water splashes up..but I think it’s a whale ( as they said so ) We have done the exercise that we did not have during the semester because we've climbed up don't know how many staircase then only reach the top of the light house and also for the caves. But I was kinda surprise that the jewel cave is an underground cave. I always thought cave is like the cave in Batu cave XP. I also had fun in the part where we were playing this drinking game introduced by wai yee. There was a part where I need to kiss Emily but she refused to let me kiss her..so bad…like I am having any diseases..sobsob..then I ended up kissing Rachel..haha..it was so funny…it was the first time I kissed a girl on her lips..well..didnt really get to feel anything as I only touched them. XD

I’ve had the tests few days ago but I think I’ve screwed the pharm midterm test…I don’t understand why is there a mcq?? Who was the one invented mcq??!! There are always similar answers which I don’t know which is the right one or should I say Prof Sunderland is too good in giving questions in mcq. Haiz..anyways..the counseling session was ok. Hopefully can pass..I am not greedy..I only want a pass. God please bless me.. I will say thank YOU first.

HL birthday is coming soon and I didn’t know what I should get for him. I was thinking get him a necklace but due to the variety of men’s accessories in perth is limited and the price is scary because I m unemployed currently so I’ve got something else for him. Hope he will like it. X )

long time no see...

2008-08-04T20:05:00.002+08:00

Wow..it has been a long time since I last blogged. Well..many things have happened during this period of time. Let’s share some with you guys…first of all..I went to Melbourne to visit my dear HL right after my exam..I really had a great time in Melbourne.. I may not visit all the places in Melbourne, but the process that being with HL is the important one. ^^

I went to Crown’s hotel, St Kilda beach, Melbourne Zoo, Melbourne city etc.. We just had a good time being together after separating from each other for about 4 months(around there I guess)..Love to cooking together, love to having dinner together, love to taking pictures together, love to hang around with u. I don’t know how to put it in words because there is so many things. XP Oh yea..i met up with sey mun, a secondary schoolmate who I didn’t c her for long time. She didn’t really have much change though. Hehe..

The day that I went back to perth..i felt so lonely..as I was still miss being with HL and I have to go back to my ‘house’ which my housemates all went back to their ‘home’. Eating alone, sleeping alone and spending the rest of the time alone until I get back to Malaysia was just..just…sad..Sobsob…that was the first time I know how is the feeling of ‘lonely’.

I did go back to Malaysia too..have been considering should I go back because of money matter..but in the end I decided to go back..I miss home so much..I m so happy to be home..I don’t want to leave! But…I have to…
I met John at KLIA! I was so surprised that when I m leaving the custom and then I heard someone calling my name..I guess everyone there already know that I m Gynette..And I even surprised that we were on the same flight and I didn’t even realized.. Haha..
Haven’t seen my parents, my bro, my aunties and uncles, my cousin bros and sisters, my ‘ji mui’s, my friends for so long..really glad that I c them when I went back..well..although there are still some that I don’t get to meet up with (jim..sorry lah..u busy I busy…v’ll meet up the next time HL and I go back ^^)(darling Beh…I wish I could c u the next time I come back!!but..apparently that is not going to happen because u will be going back during dec which I will still stuck in perth for quite some time) Had a ‘small’ A level gathering with Rachel, carly and waikit..too bad didn’t get to meet the others. Everyone doesn’t seem to change a lot (physically)..so do I, I guess?? Did I change? Gaint weight may be? Xs
Didn’t really do many things in Malaysia because its just too short..nothing much can be done in 2 weeks time..but I did a lot of shopping..i should say I went to shopping mall a lot..but didn’t get to buy a lot of things due to limited baggage limit. Sobsob
A lot of things have happened..definitely couldn’t finish telling all in one blog..Overall, I had a great holiday!!

Class have started and now is already the second week of my Sem2..I have been thinking should I or should not I work..worry that I couldn’t handle when the time of tests and exam are coming
God..please give me the answer!! Xp

wednesday BBQ night~

2008-06-19T01:18:00.002+08:00

Exam is over!! Yeah!! Finally…I have been waiting for this moment since "god knows when"~I am not sure if I did well in the exam but I don’t want to think about the exam anymore..let’s worry about it when the result is out. Right? ^^
BBQ right after the exam~
We went to buy the ‘ingredients’ for the BBQ right after the exam and we chit chatted while waiting for the guys who went to buy other ‘ingredients’ from coles. This is the moment that we can sit down and talk talk talk without worrying about the lack of time and then need to rush back to the room and study. I have been waited for this moment since ages ago. ^^
We started to prepare for the ‘dinner’ when the guys bought all the things back..we had fun in the process as well although it’s a bit in a rush..because we were running late. xP
The beef and lamb were nice….the chicken which we thought it would not be that nice because did not have enough time to marinate..but it ended up not bad~ good job..zk. ^^ The nicest part was---taking photos!! When was the last time that we had fun like this? Not quite remember…due to the stupid and f**king stressful lifestyle in this course..I have not enjoyed myself for so long..I miss home..I miss Malaysia~ I wish I could pass my exam and go back home…but anyways..Melbourne..here I come!!

study...study...and study...

2008-04-23T11:11:00.001+08:00

If u ask me hows my uni life are..i would tell u that my uni life is full of dullness and it's boring..i think it’s my own problem that I don’t know how to enjoy it?? I’ve been revising for the past few days because there are more tests coming up..but..it’s just so boring!! I know I didn’t do well in the past test so I have to study harder for the tests coming up, but…I just can’t stand study study and study everyday! Every morning..wake up..have my breakfast..then go into my room..what else can I do besides study?? Every afternoon..after lunch..what to do? Study! After dinner..what else to do? Study! SIEN ah!! But if I don’t study…when I see my flatmates all studying…I will feel bad and stress..what should I do? Haiz…I guess I should continue revise rather than complaining here. Xp 2 more months to go…..

depression....

2008-04-16T17:32:00.001+08:00

Oh god..i’ve got terrible result in my first test in perth! I feel so depressed..mostly not because of the terrible result, but because of I did study for it but I still can’t manage to do well in my test..how should I improve this? I just can’t seem to remember what I’ve studied…I feel the stress now..heart is beating faster and faster when I saw my terrible result..actually I kinda expected the result will be bad…haiz..i have no idea how to describe my feeling.. may be i just didnt put all my effort into it?

Last day of Easter break!

2008-03-30T21:30:00.004+08:00

Well..did not really get anything done during the Easter break..hopefully will get all my things done soon ^^ On the last day of Easter break, I joined the trip to the Caversham wild life park and visit the chocolate factory and today is the end of day light saving which means we had 25 hours yesterday..well..didn’t used that one hour efficiently, was chitchatting with my friends. XP
Dragged myself out of the bed in the morning after the phone had snoozed god knows how many times..dressed myself up and prepared to have fun! Today, I saw kangaroo and koala bear the first time in my life..the koala bears are so cute! They are so lazy and kept on sleeping although we were so noisy.. and some of their sleeping posture were so funny! Went to see some others animal which I don’t really remember their names and finally kangaroo..I have taken a few pictures with the kangaroo. My friend told me that kangaroos are actually quite dangerous as they may attack people..well..it doesn’t matter since it didn’t attack me while I was taking photo. xD Camwhoring all the while in the wild life park. ^^

After the wild life park, we went to this chocolate factory which we got to try on some free chocolates.. There are so many varieties of chocolate..well..for me..who didn’t really have any interest in chocolate..ended up taking picture outside the factory..We kept on taking picture..today was like taking photos day. haha

lots of chocolate ^^

Happy Birhtday to me..

2008-03-24T23:22:00.004+09:00

March 23rd is a big day..not because its Easter day but because its Ms. Gynette Low, my birthday! Hehe xP Well..actually I was thinking may be none of u guys would remember..but thanks to facebook and friendster..some of you eventually saw it and remembered. Haha
Drag myself out of the bed around 9.30am because my friend, Hannah was having performance in the Church for Easter day and we would like to support her. xP The event was actually in one of our university halls so it was quite near. Second time to attend the church event, I still cannot really adapt to the environment but I did enjoy the performances though. After that, we headed to the city to celebrate Hannah and my birthday. We went to a cafeteria located in Harbour Town and it was quite fun having most of our UCSI gang gathered together although we saw each other almost every day. Thank you guys for coming and thanks for the cake!! Another big surprise was I thought my parents won’t remember my birthday but they actually remember and wished me. I was so happy…thanks mom and dad. Dear..I haven’t gotten your present..I hope the post office will send it to me asap.

That night I was very tired because I have been going out for the past 3 days. I fell asleep on the bed around 8pm until 3am..I seldom sleep so early and wake up so ‘early’..I don’t know what to do..guess I’ll just read my note for a bit..but..it was too boring..ended up watching show. xP Finally watched until around 7am..went to sleep again..I woke up around 12 I was like omg I slept so much..haha..feel so satisfied that I have slept so much. ^^

lost..

2008-03-13T00:36:00.005+09:00

Don’t know where to start..hmmm..well..there was this day that my friends and I wanted to have dinner at Carousel.. But..somehow we took the wrong bus because we didn’t know that they change the routes and finally…we got lost..in the city! At night! Omg..luckily there were buses that still service..if not..i wonder what would happened. xP

Another thing is..I think its on Tue morning which I am having a class in the afternoon so I thought I can sleep for a bit later..but I’ve woken up by the smoke alarm..I was thinking who the hell is testing the alarm early in the morning (actually it was around 10 XD) but then when I listened clearly that I found that it seems to be from my house. When I opened the door to check out what is going on, what I saw was smoke and a guy shouting at me “get out get out!” I was like ‘what the…’ I totally forgot that I need to grab my phone, keys and most importantly my passport! But luckily nothing really happened. It was just something wrong with the microwave and it gave out smokes. The smoke detector detected it and it rang. The worst part was I saw fireman came to my house and I was like ‘woow…isn’t this way too serious?” and guess what..the presence of the fireman cost $330! So..this story tells us that be careful when u r using electronic at home and remember to bring your passport with you. Good luck. ^^

hang out..

2008-03-05T14:30:00.002+09:00

Last week was a busy first week for me..but I still manage to have some time to hang out with my friends although the main purpose of the outing was for groceries. xD Some of my friends went to a tutorial class organized by our pharm lecturer. I didn’t go because I thought it was just a one hour discussion session. “since I didn’t revise..I’m just gonna skip it” I think in my mind. Hehe..Who knows they told me after their class that it was a lecture that held for 3 hours and quite helpful..kinda regret that I skipped it xP Since I didn’t go for the lecture, I headed out to the city with my other friends who decided not to attend the class TOO xP I managed to get some shirt with cheap price in the city (happy^^) While we were waiting for others to come, we were just hanging out in the city and we saw some interesting street performers. There is this man/woman that dressed him/herself up like a statue and he/she really looks like one. Haha…sorry for the he/she thingy because I can’t really see if the performer is a he or she. Xp There is another one which his performance was quite cool and funny..too bad i’ve missed the front part and I only manage to watch the last part of his performance. He was acting in a slow motion and it was funny that he can really act like one. So cool and funny!! Too bad I was too short compared to the people around me..I was not able to squeeze to the front and record it down to show u guys. When the others arrived, we went to the Northbridge to buy some groceries like meat and some oriental food. After that, we went to the Subiaco to buy vege. On the way back…again..it was so heavy!! Haha..I guess the next time u guys c me..I’ll be so muscular..which I truly hope that it will not happen XD

experiences...

2008-02-25T21:10:00.004+09:00

First meal cook by Gynette!!
So happy that I can actually cook a ‘complete’ meal in my life. Yahoo!! Hehe..i think the food was quite good because there is no left over. I guess it might be because my friends are too hungry xP . Cooking wasn’t that difficult afterall. Hohoho…

Omg! I am getting fatter and fatter.. I just can’t stop myself from eating and looking for food..I have bought so many junk foods. Now I am experiencing the life staying outside, so I have to buy a lot of stuff which doesn’t need to be cooked, eg..biscuits, instant noodles and bread. I have to be independent, I swear to myself. Hehe…but i doubt..with all those instant foods.

I went out to Harbour town with ZK, Chooi Leng and Wan Yin yesterday. Initially, our main purpose was to the market and shops for groceries, but then ended up went to the Harbour town since we already nearby to it. Harbour town is a shopping centre and most importantly with sales is on! So…Gynette sure won’t missed it. Haha…I ended up with 2 shirts and a pair of slippers. Don’t dare to spend too much because I have spent quite a lot in the past 2 weeks. XD Shopping for fashionable stuff is definitely more interesting that shopping for groceries. The most important thing is clothes are definitely lighter than those groceries..especially fruits. 4 “LITTLE” girls have to carry those heavy groceries back home by train and bus..but..i will get used to it soon. I will!!

First day of class…was so so so tired!!! First of all, I have to wake up early in the morning around 7 to attend the 8am class and then the lab unti l noon. Afterthat, I was rushing back home to have a fast lunch and went out again for another lecture and lab right until 5pm. Carrying so many things and yet have to walk back home (luckily I stay nearby, I cant imagine if I have to walk for longer distance) Came back home, rest for abit and then have to start preparing for dinner. Too bad today is me and WanYin’s turn to cook. Although cooking is interesting but under the tired condition…it isn’t fun at all. (The food was not bad though..but I think the instant gravy do help me a lot)

Have a guess...What is the below image tells u?

Autumn is coming~

2008-02-20T22:55:00.002+09:00

The weather is getting colder..autumn is coming~ I can’t wait to get rid of the hot hot summer and looking forward to the arrival of autumn! First time in my life experiencing autumn, looking forward to spring too but too bad autumn comes first. Hehe. I have been to winter though, nothing much but cold. XD The wind in perth is just way too strong that I really cannot stand. The cold weather is making me eating more and more. Hopefully I won’t get TOO fat. I guess gain A LITTLE BIT of weight is understandable. Hehe XP

Today is the first time that I cook in perth.. well..hopefully those that had it won’t go to toilet too OFTEN tonight. ^^ I have been spending money since the first day I reached perth.. feel so bad about it..but I guess just can’t help it as some spending is needed. xP I mean it…really..hehe

Class is starting soon..don’t really feel like going as I have listened too much GOOD and BAD experiences from my seniors and now I am getting a little of pressure. Haiz..but I guess just can’t help it..I need to cross over this by myself.

Mom and Dad, I am seriously worry about both of you. Don’t load too many things on your shoulder and just let it be. I love both of u. (^^)

In PERTH!!

2008-02-16T22:02:00.002+09:00

Finally, I am in Australia, Perth now. ^^ I am blogging on the 6th day after my arrival. woohoo~ I was worrying about my Mb of my internet but I feel really bored doing nothing at home...so...ended up blogging again. xp

First day of my arrival was tiring (of course..with my overweight luggage) and the weather here was way too hot than malaysia. I think it was because i am still new here, cant really adapt to the new hot weather here. I’ll need a lot more sunscreen because I have already become tanned..SobSob.. But after a few days..the weather is getting colder and windier. I am now staying with 5 friends of mine which is alot more convenient. hehe... We went through all the procedure doing our student id, smartrider and more importantly my bank account. Now everything was sort of settled now, can be relaxed for abit. xP

I went to this event organized by a group of people from 'passion' which is having half price waffle in this dunno wat it calls shop. The ice cream and waffle are good match. Love it!! My friends and I went to the city tour on the other day which is quite tiring but worth it. We have taken so many nice pictures but too bad because of the quota of the internet, I cannot upload all. We went to the Fremantle beach and also had the No.1 fish and chips in western australia. The portion was so big that none of us could manage to finish it.

The worst part of staying alone is shop for groceries and have to cook for ourselves. Luckily I am staying with my friends which is making the process much easier. With the limited Mb that i have already paid for...I really don’t know what more can i do...Haiz..

Dear...I miss u~

The No. 1 fish and chips in WA.

nice day..

2007-12-09T23:14:00.000+09:00

^^ it was nice gathering with my ji muis after long time. Had fun in new way karaoke and also the part where we kept taking pictures. Miss those time where we used to take alot of pictures when v were still in secondary school. Everyone dressed up pretty and had pretty pictures as well. Dunno when is the next time that a gathering like this will be held again. After 1 year or 2 years? Gonna miss the time that v hang out together, crapped together and talk stupid jokes together.

Finally..

2007-12-04T18:36:00.000+09:00

OMG..i was so so nervous when i was checking my result and it was loaded so slow...making me so nervous! But as long as the result came out well..the waiting is worth it. i m so happy now. ^^ Australia...here i come!

Depressed mode on...

2007-11-05T20:39:00.000+09:00

Today is my first paper of my exam, but i screwed it. I couldnt finished the paper!!That made me depressed and upset because i might not be able to go oversea if i dont pass. Feeling damn bad. Have been trying to study for an hour but my brain cant help it but kept thinking about the paper that I've just did. Stop thinking about it! Please.. So that i can move forward... I know I should stop thinking about it..but I just cant control myself. Sobsob.... What a bad day..
