I’m currently really bored.

The heat is making studying kinda awful. I studied for a bit at the cs lounge just now. That was pretty productive, thanks to the cs aircon.

So we’re apparently in this heatwave thing. The last time Melbourne had 30+ degrees in November for a few consecutive days was 1902.

Oh, don’t you think this dress is just hot!

Today has been dedicated to IFA. I’ve finished my first round of revision. Yay me!

Now I’m going to flag stuff and I’ll ask all the questions I need during consult tomorrow.

And starting from tomorrow, I need to change my body clock to like a morning person. I need my exam clock!

And then I’m going to start reading Gen Wealth again. My exam is this Friday and I’ve got heaps more to cover. I really hoping the questions that I’m spotting will come out!

And I’m so behind in Corp Law. Sigh.

I’m so glad I’m doing Chinese this semester.

Okay, studying calls again.

My brain has nothing really intellectual to produce today.

Toodles world!

Just dance, gonna be okay

When life gives a gelid and grueling reply
You just need to brace yourself
Go forth with an open heart and mind
And start searching for the silver lining
For no one is going to seek it for you
Even if they do
It will be in the unseen realm

Okay, so I didn’t get up at 10am today. In fact, I got up at like some ungodly hour again.

But hey, I’ve done one lect & one tut of accounting [although it was quite a short and easy one, but whatever]. And now, I’m going to proceed on and do my Gen Wealth readings because I realised that exam is exactly one week from now and I haven’t got much reading done cause I’ve been so caught up with Corp Law and IFA.

Speaking of Corp Law, I spoke to Jon’s dad last night. About Corp Law of course. He helped me with some definition issues I was having. And boy, my mind’s a heap lot clearer now.  So that’s good =) Hee.

I’m going to watch Simpsons at 6pm later and head to the city and buy highlighters. You’ve no idea how much highlighting I’ve done to my Law textbook and Gen Wealth readers.

I’m sleepy again. Sigh.

I need to sleep less. Seriously.

Okay, work calls again.

So toodles world!

xoxo

I wanna be the one to hold your hand

I haven’t touched my Corp Law textbook for two days.

And ohmygosh

The JOY of not reading that book is incredible!! It felt like I got saved all over again!

Okay, maybe not so 夸张. But I’m sure you get the idea. Especially those doing this subject!! Omg, I realise that I was at the law building today and I didn’t collect my assignment. Sigh. This is how forgettable this subject is.

But I’m going to read 1.5 chapters tonight. Boohoohoo.

On a lighter note, I woke up at 10am today! Amazing hey! And it’s amazing. But 2pm, I did like a zillion things already. Okay, not really. Just two LONG readings. And by 3.45pm, I did three LONG readings and some income tax accounting work! Consult this morning was good. Alix helped me understand quite a few things. But I forgot to ask her some things. So I think I’m going for consult again tomorrow with Joanna [my own tutor]. And it’s a motivation because it makes me get up early! I’m wondering if I should get up at 9am tomorrow. I thought there would be a million people at consult today cause I was there at 11am, and there was only one girl in front of me and she was almost done. By the time I finished my consult, there was still no one there!

Pray that it’ll be the same tomorrow!

Before I go on with work, I shall think about what I would do with my first paycheck.

1. Buy my family dinner- that’s a lot of people considering the fact that my sister is married and my brother might be married by that time.
2. Actually, I don’t know. My first paycheck won’t be a lot of money.

Oh well, my imagination isn’t functioning very well now.

Looks like work is calling me.

So toodles world!

So tell me darling do you wish we fall in love

Scroll 2 entries down and you’ll know about my leg issue.

It’s really really killing me.

I’m going to the doctor tomorrow. (Hopefully the appointments aren’t full!)

I have googled it and asked one of my medical friends. They both gave me the same answer -restless leg syndrome.

Not good.

Only divine intervention’s going to help me.

Please pray.

It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep

So I’ve been listening to this new guy for the past few days.

Go youtube- “fireflies by owl city”

It’s awesome. He has officially replaced the Jason Mraz in my life.

He’s real name is Adam Young. He loves God, photography and his influences includes Rachel Joy Scott. Awesome right! Ohh and he can’t sleep at night. Like me! Oh, but he writes songs when he can’t sleep. I just facebook and do unproductive things. I reckon that’s why his stage name is Owl City.

And and and he’s coming to Melb in March 2010. He’s supporting Cobra Starship [yes, the irony, I know]. I assume supporting means opening.Yes, I’m a stalker. Shoot me.

I like Cobra Starship too. It’s just that they are two very different genres.

Yes, don’t die now knowing that I like a song that isn’t from the R&B genre. Haha.

Today wasn’t very productive. I did 1.5chapts of law [major accomplishment] but accounting is so bleah.

I watched 1.5 hours of simpsons today and 1 hour of ladette to lady.

Yes, couch potato syndrome coming out. Oh sigh.

Back to work. Sigh.

Toodles world!

Let Your spirit come and move within

Hey world!

There’s this weird sensation in my right leg and a bit in my right arm that is causing me so much trouble. It’s been ongoing for 6 days! I don’t even know what to call it. I can’t focus on things and worse, I can’t fall asleep at times. I woke up at 10.30 this morning to use the toilet and wanted to plonk myself back to bed. But I was awake for quite some time. I ended up praying and just going nuts. Then I took a shower. Before I knew it, I just fell back to sleep. But the sensation isn’t gone.

I honestly don’t think anything’s gonna work now except prayer. So yes, if you’re reading this, please pray for me.

I really need His spirit to move within me. Well, technically, He is already cause His spirit lives in me.

Goal for today: IFA lect 8 and tut 8. Law ch12&13.

Today will be first time I’m attempting to do 2 chapters of law at one go. Hope I’ll go fine. Bleah.

There’s nothing much to say. My brain’s still kinda stoned.

I’m going to start work.

Toodles world!

It’s time to get up and dance cause we’re free now

Hello

Once again, I’m blogging.

I realise that my attention span is 30mins. For this entire semester, during my generating wealth of nations lecture, whenever the clock struck 12.30pm, I will automatically look at my watch. It’s not that I knew half an hour has passed. It’s just that after hearing him speak for half an hour, my brain kinda turns off.

I was quite tired just now and I decided to ilect my accounting lecture. It was the last lecture of the semester and it’s all theory. No numbers at all and it was sooooo dry. After looking at the slides, understanding what he said and whatnot, I stopped at 33.10mins. I just couldn’t take it any longer.

Of course this only happens when one party is talking and talking and talking away. This never happens in tuts. I always pay attention in tuts because there are other people talking and sometimes, on the rare occasions, I speak.

I’m really excited about going back to Singapore. Funny thing? I haven’t got a flight back yet. Another funny thing? I probably won’t feel the same way the minute I finish my exams.

I don’t understand how people can just convert to a particular religion when they get married or are going to get married. Oh wells.

I better get back to ilecturing disclosure issues.

I just realise that almost all my paragraphs in this entry starts with I. It never cease to make me wonder how often we always start things with I.

We should start more with God. That will probably make all our lives a lot better.

Okay, gotta go now!

Toodles world!

Lost and insecure, You found me

As the exams approach and I’m not longer in week 12 and it’s swotvac already, the frequency of my blog updates have dramatically increased as well.

I can even write journal entries for it.

Dr Exams
Cr Blog posts

Okay, that doesn’t make sense. Exams are an asset cause they’ve got future benefit, can be reliably measured (stupid h1s, h2s and whatnot) and they are in my control (sort of). Blog posts are a liability because (opps. I can’t remember the accounting definitions). But personally, they are a liability because they steal my time from studying.

This is so not making sense to most of my readers. I’m sure.

I don’t know. Everyone knows that exams are not the end of the world and they are nothing compared to half most of the things that go on in our daily lives. There’s so much more in this world than exams! I mean just think about the people fighting for their lives daily and just wanting some bit of education. And yes, that puts me to shame that I complain about studying. Yet, it hasn’t stopped me from whining and being a sukilala. Sigh.

But right now, it just seems that exams are the end of the world for most of us, if not, all.

Okay, maybe end of the world is kinda too dramatic. But you do get the point right?

Our lives take a shift when exams come. Just a look at my study table and it really scares me. I’ve got so many things here and it’s kinda getting out of control. My chocolate intake has increased A LOT. And people who know me know that I’m not a chocolate fan. I’ve been breaking out (freaks out!) and yeah.

Most importantly, do our exams make us compromise a little too much sometimes?

Compromising my time? Oh yes, certainly.

Compromising God’s promises? Ohmygosh, like all the time.

Why is that some of us always think that God can’t pull through us through this time? Are you going to tell me He wasn’t faithful last time round. My God! He has been faithful on every single occasion/phase of my life! Things don’t always turn out the way I want them to. In fact, most of the time they don’t!

But they do work out for the best unexpectedly. Isn’t He a God of surprises?

Maybe you should just take some time off this swotvac and you know, just chill and watch the world go by. PLEASE don’t slack though. When I say some time, I mean like half a day. I don’t mean like 3 days chilling at the beach and drinking lemonade.

The panic is so not worth it. God never panics. And since we’re created in His image, we shouldn’t panic too. It isn’t our nature because it isn’t His nature!!

The enemy panics cause it knows it’s going to lose. Our victory has been won on the cross. Rejoicing is our nature!! Slacking isn’t our nature either. God doesn’t slack. Jesus walked the face of the earth, He didn’t just sit at a corner and drank wine. Faith without actions is dead.

So that’s all!

I need to go back to Accounting for Income Tax.

Toodles world!

It’s amazing

Just got back from Grace’s Birthday Party at Carlton Gardens. Fun stuff =)

Good food. Good company!

I was talking to Ben on adium. Actually, I still am. But anywayy. I was talking about studying accounting soon and I said this:

“haha cause i’ve got heaps to cover for law. worst subject of my life”

And Ben said this “who needs to know law when grace abounds”

Such a good line! Seriouslyyyy. Corp Law should meet the Bible. Then I’ll get a H1. I think…. hahaha.

It’s such a warm night! Today was like hot hot hot. Terrible weatherrr! Give me my 17degrees againnnn!!! I think the optimum temperature range for me to survive is between 15 degrees C and 20 degrees C.

I’ve been on the phone with Jon Lim. I guess there isn’t much to blog about anymore. Haha.

Toodles world!

‘Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends

Awesome testimony about my Chinese oral exam! But I don’t want to post it up here, so come ask me if you want!!

I’m currently ill. Exhaustion + Weather Change = Not good for Shiyou

I’m really bad at adapting to weather changes. Hot Cold Hot Cold and I just don’t get along.

Don’t be embarrassed, don’t be afraid, don’t let your dreams slip away.
Don’t be scared of using your gift — everybody has a gift.
Never give up, never let it die,
Trust your instincts, and most importantly…
You’ve got nothing to lose, so just go for it!

- “It’s Amazing” by Jem

That’s like a part of the song. This song is quite uplifting I must say. Haha.

I guess your instincts here can be replaced by the Holy Spirit.

My exams are going to end in less than a month! So exciting! I can’t wait.

I’m going to post up my exam timetable there —>

I just printed 43 pages worth of Generating the Wealth of Nations notes.

There’s so much to study. So little time.

I spoke to my sister and erm my brother-in-law two nights ago. It was good =) It’s good to know that my sister married an awesome man of God and that he’s doing incredible things in his workplace!

But man, are international calls expensive!!!

And since I’m no longer working at the end of the year, I hope my parents increase my allowance next year. Hee.

So yes, I’m going back to Singapore in early Dec and coming back to Melbourne in early Jan. Can’t wait! Wheeeeeeee.

Oh and I’ve gotta re-enrol for 2010 soon! I don’t know if I want to take Econometrics next year or should I do another finance subject or like do another breadth subject.

Oh decisions decisions decisions.

This is an entry filled with random sentences. I shall stop blabbering.

Toodles world!
