week 6 semester 2

this whole week has be horrendous, after last week's accident i had to force myself to stay home for the entire week until thursday where the scars were actually healed abit. But with all the time i stood at home i managed to finish the work assigned to me by Clady. it was so boring staying home, there weren't much things to do, so i had to look for some uni work and other times i just sat in my chair watch the olympics, which kept my spirits high because china was winning gold in almost every event.
in the early days of the week i constantly checked myself in the mirror just couldn't believe the damages i did to myself and the situation i was stuck in, i wanted to goto uni to keep up with the work, as well as catching up with some friends, it was frustrating. the only communication tool i used was MSN which only gave me a limited access to seeing what my friends were doing, and chatting to the group members about the group work.
Through out this whole week i became olympic addict, i sat in front of the TV for majority of the day just to watch the olympics, my emotions were fluctuating, when China is doing well in some events makes me happy but others makes me want to turn off the TV. sometimes i even felt i should be in China at this historical moment, with so much fun activities and souviniers availiable, it is a once in a life time chance to attend such a big event in my own country, seeing the joy and cheers in the city, i really wanted to be part of, i wanted to celebrate along some of my friends and family in china, rather then here by myself, hopefully in my life time olympics would be held in my city Shanghai, i would definetly be there.
Yesterday was the last day of the olympics seeing the closing ceramony makes me really sad, over the past two weeks it has been memorable, i feel i'm very much used to watching the events, now i feel so empty don't really know how i'm going to survive without it.
anyway back to reality there are few weeks left in the semester, i got to catch up, the tests and assignments are nearing its due dates, i sounds scary, but this semester my elective subjects has been pretty straight forward, it is all in my original language, and is below the standard of mine. i feel confident, there are so much to look forward to at the end of the year.

week 5 semester 2

just came back from seven last night, it was horrible, got kicked out of the club once more, i drank so much that i throw my own cloths in the bin and fell onto the ground a couple of times and hurt my face now i can't leave the house it was embarrassing. this week has been really slack by me, didn't do much study at all, apart from monday i went to uni, the other days didnt manage to go at all, i feel my life is in a mess again, need to change the way of approaching my life, no more alcohol, no more clubbing.
back to school work, this week has been very fruitful, i joind the team on monday we discussed and worked on the user manuel, i saw the part i did, i was fairly disappointed with, even though cladi said it was well done, because i thought my english is still not up to the level i would like to be, i still cause the team some concerns as they had to make some changes, but im always looking to improve hopefully there will be results seen in the near future. Anyway the user manuel is progressing well, its a big document, but the team members are working very hard on, let's just wait for the end of the semester, it will be the best

week 4 semester 2

this week has been really busy, started off on monday when i attended the meeting with my group members, after that i supposed to have a class but due to my mum's illness i had to leave early and head to the hospital. but on monday i had some of the work done for the group, i started my part of the design doc, but didn't manage to get it finish, so had to goto the library the next day to finish it, it was fairly simple part, but when i realise there were much more parts ahead of the team to finish off it made my head felt dizzy, but still im confident of doing well this semester. seeing my team members working so hard it really inspired my work ethics, for the first few weeks of thsi semester i really felt slack, didn't manage to finish off anything. but one most important factor that encouraged me even more were Collingwood won against the useless Saints, im so proud of my team.

Week 3 semester 2

Its already week 3 of semester 2 and this is still my first blog for the semester, how slack am i becoming. First week it was a confusion, things were every where, first i was going to work as a full timer, but after the first day of work, i realised the commitments i need to put in for uni, due to its my last semester, so i decided to quit the job, then it was the subject selection, each of the subject had clashed with one and another, i even had no clue when my class is, and whether i'm attending the class that i supposed to, i was confused. then it came second week, everything began to work out, i attended the team meeting with the rest of the group, it was exciting to see them again, had a lot of queries about what will happen this semester, anything exciting, i lacked participation during holidays to see my group members, my holiday was horrible went travel to afew places, and had a lot of plans in my head, but found out once the trip was over that i achieved none of my plans. anyway back to week 2, i finally got my subject selections done and complete after seeing the course director, and start the semester for the one last time, hoping that everything goes well. so far it has been good, i went to every single one of my class and team meetings except for this week, i had 2 job interviews in one day, which started at 930, but by the time i finished the first one at 1 i was exhausted, really didnt be bothered going to my second, but still made it, but the response was disappointing, they found my hours to work is limited so decide to put me on hold for other part time position, oh well, still worth while going, i'm just treating it as a interview experience. By the way nice to see Jake and POD again, Jake u have lost even more weight, haha, i'm trying to put myself on diet as well, but just cant control myself when it comes to food.

week 12

this week started distastrous for me, i was supposed to attend the class on time according to my plan, on monday i went to service my car, and suppose to take the bus to uni and plan to make it to class on time, but i accidently took the bus the wrong way, by the time i realised i was at Dangenong, so i had to take the bus back to southland then take the same bus but the correct direction, but to no surprise the stupid buses took forever to came, so i was really upset and decided to go back to the car service station to wait for the car, this is probably one reason i hate taking the stupid public transport. But i managed to make to the meeting on time on tuesday which was good.
This week has been very stressful, having so much assignment due at the end of the week, plus studying for the exam which is only 2 weeks away, i'm determined to do well on all my exams, which is something i havn't done for a few years now, but the most concerning thing was with my chinese teacher, who thought just because i can speak the language i can also write it really well, but they never knew i'm only a primary school standard in reading and writing, when i left china i was only grade five, after all of those years, i predict my level of reading and writing chinese has sunk to grade 2-3, which is embarrassing to mention, but to her aware its a disgrace the way she treated my essays and making comments that i thought was really disrespectful to me, it really hurt my feelings lol.
the end of the semester is fast approaching we are only days away now, to review the time spend with the IE guys has been great, its a good experience and previlage to know all the group members.

week11

Last week i missed out on winning the blog of week, which was depressing, i wonder what is required to actually win it, one option i was thinking about is copy some winner's blog, but just wasn't sure whether there is plagiarism to copyin blogs or not. anyway jokes are over. this week wasn't the bussiest i have encountered, assignments are disappearing slowly as days go pass, which is handy especially when exams are around the corner. With our IE group everything is going well, i missed the monday meeting with the client due to some personal reasons, but from the feedback of the team members it was worth missing out on, i heard our client who was a real pain in the ass when it comes to keeping them happy, from what i heard they've got no idea of what they want them selves.
this week is FA cup final, and my favorite team cardif is actually in it, once in a life time opportunity to watch them actaully win something, can't wait for the match.

week10

For some reason last week's post wasn't posted, its weird, maybe my internet was capped, but i'm keeping a record here, this is the third time i'm writing this week's blog, and hopefully it will be up. anyway, the stress has finally coming to me, i'm struggling to finish some of my assignments, especialli the archive subject, i always ask myself why did i even chose that subject, its for people who wanted to be a boring librarian, and everyday spend 10hrs facing the books and organise them and put them in different categories, why why why, i hate books ill fall asleep when i see the books, maybe that was the reason why i was struggling to finish the assignment, i kept on falling asleep when i start reading it.
This week had only two days that i was actually doing something, monday and tuesday, as usual the IE meeting, we only concentrated on the functional analysis and tried to finish off which we did. it was abit difficult during the process, because it involved alot of discussion between the group members, there was ideas flying around, and i was the documentor, so i was actually recording all of the ideas down on the laptop, but having said that everyone was putting ideas to me, but i was actually having questions marks flying around my head, saying to myself who should i listen to when everyone is talking at once, after 20minutes i was finally lost, i was confused, i had no idea what is going on around me, only things i could've seen was words flying around my head and i hope i could've used my hand to catch some and put in my head, and be decisive somehow.
But at then end i had something on so i had to leave just before the meeting was bout to end, finally ben took over i was relieved, but still i was seeing stars as i walked out of the building, oh well this is me getting confused all the time.
there aren't many weeks left in this semester, exams are getting sooner and sooner, my heart rate and blood pressure is increasing day by day, everyday im wondering whether i can reach the exam date, may be that's what is called pressure, never experienced in all the years i was at uni, its frustrating, at the moment i just want to hide in a hole and start my winter.
