Growth Curve



I remember Christina told me about being a baby learner in something is just like a baby growth curve:

"Baby learner should be learning very fast! Just like what it shows in baby growth curve. It growth very fast initially, and when it reached at the stage, it remains constant."

Which reminds me of not to be afraid of start/learn-ing something new, by using "I'm just a baby learner" as an excuse.

Of course, baby learner is not as good as people who are adult. Sometimes I always wonder that I'm just a baby learner, so I do not need to care whether I should know this or not. Sometimes I have this thoughts that I'm just a baby learner, I'm not that good! But if what Christina said baby learner learns faster than adult, then I should have no reason why I can't do it better.

I guess, whatever reason/excuse we've gave, it's not enough to beat our desire-to-do-it heart.
Now I understand why my mom hates people who tend to give excuse.



PS: Half night prayer was great! I get to meet some city center people for dinner even though I can't join dinner with my LG (They are at Clayton while I'm at City). It's kinda strange when Anh's (the City center people that I met during BTF thank-you lunch) LG introduced me to their fellows with added on: "She's from Waverley center!", make me sound like I'm a special guest. Wakaka! XD

Thanks Anh for introducing her LG to me despite she has test on Monday, and thanks Christina who be my side all the night! ^_________^

Facing the Giants



In "Facing the Giant" movie, when Coach Taylor asked his student, Brock to do the 50 yards of dead crawl, which at the end he successfully crawled the whole field, that change my whole point towards give it all my best that I can.

It comes to the part that Brock shouted: "My hand is burn!!", which Coach Taylor response with: "Let it BURN! Let it BURN!!", which comes to me realize that how important to do it with our heart, not based on your physical, but mental condition.

I always thought that I've give all the best when I do things, I was wrong. I degrade myself easily; I judge my own ability without realizing that I could go even further. I have this thoughts that I could able to do until like this and tend to stop at that level. But who knows that actually I still got energy + strength + chance + anything to go further?

Just like in the movie, Brock thought that he only can crawl 50 yards, which turns out that he could crawl the entire field. If he allows fear to control his mindset, he might only get to 50 yards, without realizing that he could go further. At this point do you think he gives all the best he got?

So what my hand is burn? As long as I still can crawl, and I want to, why not?




Suddenly I've a good feeling on my next semester now.

Melbourne Uni's Offer

This is what you get when you've conditional letter from Melbourne University:


Nice cover~

 

 

 

How come mine is just piece of print-out letter when I get conditional offer from them?

Just wanted to congratulate my sister, who gets her conditional offer from Melbourne Uni. =)

On the other hand, I'm done with my Finals! HOORAY!!
In this past two days, I've been thinking about what am I going to do with my 3.5 months of holiday. Like Jane said, make use of this holiday as part of achieving your goals and make your mind fresh. I hope I really can do it (because I'm super procrastinating! @@) in order to get prepare for my summer course. Lesson learned not to let chance fly away from your hand! (Wahaha~)

In the meantime, I'm looking for a part time job. I should have applied for summer vacation scholarship but...oh well! Let just see what's going on at January. I just realize that China Town has more vacancy than others. Though I believe most of them needs somehow expert in a relevant job, and my experience is just bookshop! +__________+ But like mom always says, never try never know!

Following 3 days I'm going to a place where it's far away from city - Rye Beach!! I'm so excited!!! I hope to get this opportunity to fulfill what I want to get from this trip, and also to refresh my mind.

Last but not least, I wish BEST OF LUCK to those who are still seating for exams. HANG IN THERE!! Remember, 1 day/1week of suffering does not equals to 3.5 months of freedom! GOOD LUCK YEA!!!

3 down, 1 to go

As title says it all, 1 more paper to go! *relief*
Finally I could take an enough sleep yesterday, even though I wish I could online for longer.

I just really wanted to Thank God for being with me throughout my preparation for 2 big gen test (If I happens to show my frustration and stress on you, and it makes you feel bad, my apology of failing to control my temper +__________+). I believe he was not impressed the way I studies, and yes I deserve to get scold for these semester from people around me. Still by his grace, he give me strength to go through ups and downs during my 2 weeks of preparation for Freshwater Ecology and that 2 big Gen test. Most importantly, I was thought of not being able to answer GEN 3040's question after knowing that I didn't do much preparation and wanted to cry after looking at past year papers, yet he bless me by giving me the questions I could answer during the exams. I feel shame of what I've did on my preparation for test.

During this 2 weeks of preparation, I've learn a lot from my mistake, and learn to know that there is no second chance in my life. Most importantly, I've learn what it takes by "Giving all the best!" and "don't stress!". I've learn not to just focus on my own situation but focus more on HIM (If you don't understand what I mean that's ok hehe). Although I might not get a colourful result at the end, I guess I've gain something that could build up my characteristic.

Till now, I still remember the reaction that my friend shows me: "This is my last semester! Why do I screw it up??". I guess God knows that I'm a forgetful person, so he shows me this before I repeat my mistake again. Next semester is my last semester (if everything went smoothly), I don't want to screw it! Most of all, I will give it ALL THE BEST I can! This is the promise that I wanted to keep, and I will, I hope to remember the bits and pieces during this semester!

The result of putting all your best is just SWEET! =D
so to my last paper: BRING IT ON MOL2022!

This is why I don't like study Freshwater Ecology Lecture Notes







Full of insects picture in BIGGER view.

Just had my first paper yesterday,
what can I say? Feeling Miserable.

I shan't give any excuse on why I feel like that, because no use to say out. It's over already.
Hopefully the marks could help me in my future.

On the other note, Joanne is back from Malaysia! Feel surprise that she called me last night and comfort me in the right time! =D
Thanks Joanne. ^_^

You make me become your shining star

Sometimes I will keep wondering am I an invisible woman among my friends?

I remember sometimes my parents will say to me: "Sometimes I really don't understand what is in your mind!", some friends even told me that: "I found out that you like to tell your friends' story but not you!", "you seldom talk about yourselves!". Yes I seldom talk about myself, what do I think, how do I feel etc, that's my habit. Probably that leads to the point that I tend to be quite among my friends! As in, when my friends keep discussing, I will stood there and listen.

So sometimes I do feel abit left out, and have the assumption that I'm an invisible friend.

But it got all wrong after I came here.

Recently I've posted some photos taken at Malaysia with the people that I love in facebook. The comments were very touching, unexpected and funny! But what most importantly is that they actually miss the happy moments have with me, miss having me as their company etc. One of them even confess that "It's getting quite when you're not here (in  Monash Sunway)!". I can tell you, at that moment I really do feel so special! XD

I'm just a ordinary little star on the sky that works hard to shine everyday. When people saw us from the earth, they can't spot me because I look the same as every star. But just because you've found me, I've become your shining star!

I didn't know that they actually miss me that much after I come here, and I didn't realize that being miss by someone, even though it's just few second will makes you feel happy and warm. I remember everytime I called back to my mom, her reaction always makes me wanted to cry. I know that my family will miss me, but I didn't expect it's that high level! @@

Looks like the choice I've made to come to Melbourne does pay up the price! Muahaha XD

Thanks for those who thinks about me, even though just a few seconds! Especially Edi whom recently posted an entry that he miss my presence! ^^

朋友一生一起走



还记得上个星期五跟 Sheryl 他们唱K点到这首歌的时候, 大家都轰轰烈烈的唱在一起, 突然间觉得拥有那一份的感觉真难得.

虽说友情是我们生活中的调剂品, 虽然妈妈说过朋友也会陷害朋友, 虽说友情不能和亲情来做比较, 但生活上就是不能缺少朋友.朋友就是一生一起走, 一起面对困难现实, 一起欢笑一起悲伤.

我们可以跟全世界的人做朋友, 但就是因为缘分让我们只能跟他人做很好的朋友! 这一点是我每次当我不能跟心目中的人物做朋友的时候, 给予最佳的安慰, 也让我更加明白缘分难得, 让我更懂得珍惜与看重友情的可贵.

友情, 就是在你无论什么样的情况下, 都会陪伴你左右的人. 虽然我不善于当聆听者, 但我可以当你生活上的小丑, 逗你开心, 好让你有动力面对一切挫折^^


English Version

This is the song I sang with Sheryl and her friends during karaoke. The moments where everyone sing together is just so nice! It's like, a things that you couldn't own easily.

I still remember that mom told me how friends could use us for their own purpose, but there's undeniable that we need friends. Friends are with us, happily sad together, face the problems together.

We could make friends with the entire world of people, it's just that fate separates us. I always keep this word in my mind, when I failed to make good friends with a particular person that I admire.Sounds pity but it makes me feel more appreciate and how important having friends by fate. Fate does not come easily.

Friends does not abandoned you in any situation. I may not become your good listener, but I could be your clown and make you smile, to provide a driving force that makes you face the problem strongly^^
