Cool Aussies man ...funny sia ...lol, just imagine a group of half-naked girls posing behind as background for your photo when you have totally no idea whats happening.

Summer 2006 - 3rd March

2006-03-03T23:36:00.000+08:00

Hello People !

HAHAHA ! i'm so sorry okay, for not updating this blog, but, was kinda bored at 'updating' it. was lazy la ...haha ..you know how fun Singapore is right ..
okay, but to the main blogging topic.

Hello Again People !
你们还好吧？( how are you guys ? )

okay ....nobody is responding.I really wonder how many of you guys will be reading this anyway ..haha ..most probably everyone would have thought that this blog is dead by now, and it's deleted from your favourites menu.

Yup,Okay ...

It's Summer 2006 now. In Perth, Western Australia. I'm just a normal bloke studying at a normal university wearing normal clothes and having normal lectures. ( I just lied in tutorial that 'University is Fun' when my tutor asked me how things are going. And that got everyone laughing. i'm amazed. thanks audrey for that encouragement.. )

Yup, I'm in Murdoch University ( www.murdoch.edu.au ) studying a double degree in Biotechnology ( BSc ) and Marketing management ( BCom ). Isn't it quite weird how my combination is chosen ? i am taking a Science degree and a Commerce one at the same time. but yah, i like both of them. Other than the fact that my school fees is heaps more and hell expensive, the workload is more too...i have to do much more in the same period of time just to fit in the double degree course within 4 years.

This semester, Semester 1 ( S1 ) 2006, i am taking 4 major core units
-FDN130 - Age of Information
-MAS183 - Statistics Data analysis and databases
-BIO103 - Environmental Biology
-BUS160 - Introduction to accounting.

Yah, it's like so cool right, i haven't done any biology in my life since like sec 2 science with the male reproductive system and female parts.yah, i didn't do Biology in Olevels, nor for my foundation year WAUFP last year before university. Yeah, hell cool right, this is going to be so fun. and this is supposed to be my whole life now,biology related issues -BIOtechnology. Don't ask me again why i even choice this degree. here's the answer - i love chemistry. and i love the fact that this degree offers me a inside view of chemistry in technology and biology terms. it's basically like chemistry and biology mixed.

Here's what Murdoch Website describe Biotechnology,
"Biotechnology is an applied science that uses the techniques of biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, fermentation technology and genetic engineering to generate commercial products of benefit to medicine, agriculture and industry"

"As such it utilises genetic engineering, fermentation and chemical separation technologies to develop new biological processes of commercial importance. These include enzyme engineering for the manufacture of vitamins, antibiotics and biochemicals; genetic engineering of plants and animals for agricultural and medical purposes; the production of diagnostic medical kits and antibodies; beer wine and cheese making; extraction of minerals from ores by bacteria and environmental engineering which uses living organisms to treat industrial wastes and to rehabilitate polluted sites"

That is Biotechnology, so don't ask me whats that again.

Don't you ever....

I love chemistry

and i love marketing as well, so i decided to take on this interesting course that Murdoch University offered me. Double degree in 4 years. Sounds good.

As cool as it sounds, i'm actually part of 2 schools in the university. School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology and Murdoch Business School....

Cool is cool la,but can you imagine how pressurized i am in Biology Class and Accounting Class when i don't even have any background in both subjects. I don't understand any freaking cell or any debit and credit sheet, and everyone is just shouting the answers out. I know i know, when they start luring you into the course, they would really say "oh, no background knowledge required". Ah CRAP ! then why are the lecturers progressing so quickly that i don't really understand what a normal cell consist off....OMG !!!!!!!and during lecture, everyone seems to understand everything, and so many of them are shouting the answers out. WHAT THE HECK, i am still so blur figuring out what question we are at, don't mention knowing the answer.

But i guess i have to work hard la, swallowing the textbook and notes, literally. I'm doing a lot of catching up in terms of biology and accounting to make sure i know whats going on in my life. I cannot stand being left in the dark.It's end of week 2 only, and i'm stressed out enough by these subjects...

Okay, apart from school, i'm really fine i guess.
I have a nice homestay now ( still under 18 by the way ...) and i have nice housemates (wouldn't say they are chicks la...but still decent la ..lol ! sorry girls ..)[ i can imagine audrey in her room shouting " JON ! get out of your room now .." when she reads this ...] My homestay hosts are really nice people.haha, so far. nice food, cool temperature and warm environment. all the laughs and hi's and bye's. Audrey and I would ALWAYS play XBOX with Jennifer's XBOX witht he 2 kids in the home - Tony(12) and Brendon(8). DAMN NAUGHTY kids. but still fine...till now. Played basketball, frizbee,soccer and swam for 2 hours in the backyard swimming pool - includes water polo, chicken and hen and eagle ( whatever you call it ), jumping in and out of the water,shouting, chasing, bashing, fighting, leaving with me 3 long slids ( cuts ) on my arm, and according to Audrey, "it looks like suicidal cuts, just that it's too high up."

Which girl broke my heart again....LOL !

and as Tony would always say " Keep it G-rated please " when we start talking more in-depth about life and love and stuff. Really cool guy here.

Yup, this is Australia and Me,
i know i know, this is getting too long right, how to carry on reading right. I hate reading long blog entries, and those super short ones - becuase the time spent to upload the page is more than the time i use to read the entry in the first place.

Yup, lookout in the next entry - Learning to drive a manual car, more fun here,and yah, thats about it.

And please people, could you kindly leave a message at the side so that i know who have been reading, and so i know whether i should continue anot. kinda dumb ..but ya, say hi or something. or say how'ya doing .... yes kenneth, tag a message. thank you. LOL !

Here's a video for you guys out there who even bother to check out this blog after it died so long ago, haha, help and revive this ! spread the word.. don't go IRC or something and write - hot flirt - www.viewjonblog.blogspot.com - that doesn't really apply here...but if you think so, THANKS ! haha ....

My Boo - Alicia Keys and Usher

Yup ! good night people !

See ya around.

Cheers !
Jon.

Goodbye 2005

2006-01-02T02:08:00.000+08:00

GoodBye 2005,

Hello 2006.

[ i come in peace ]

Yup ! Happy New Year people! ( I guess i have to wait for 1 more year again before i can say that again ....yup. ) If you didn't realise that it's a brand new year now, i guess, you will feel extremely enlightened after reading my blog.

How i countdown to the new year: In St Andrew Cathedral for the Covenant Service and Holy Communion, having 5 mins of silence to wait for the church bells ring in the midst of the -silence-. Okay, i have something quite interesting to share here. As usual, it's the normal church hymn singing and stuff, then we had this 5 mins of silence to reflect on ourselves last year, then i heard the countdown from the big built-up, temporary tent from the Padang area by the Singapore Cricket team. They countdown 3 mins earlier than the actual time. I was laughing. ( obviously not loudly that the whole church stares at me. ) Don't anyone in the whole crowd have the actual time ? or are they cheering too loudly for the puny little voice to be heard. Did anyone even bother to count properly ??!. Okay. When my watch striked 12, the church bell rang, breaking the silence, and it sent shivers down my spine, and i felt cold. I said .Amen. for my watch is set the correct timing. I feel like just jumping up and Shout HAPPY NEW YEAR peeps !

and i almost feel asleep.
just then, i heard somewhat -explosions- outside the church, the fireworks that lid the dark sky, welcoming the new year. It continued for about 10 mins, explosions, literally. I was terrified and petrified. I felt that something was very wrong about this year's countdown. I wanted to have a peaceful countdown in Church, hearing the church bell ringing, like so romantic, but it's DESTROYED by the fireworks ! and i wasn't peaceful at all. I'm scared. I really felt i was kneeling down in an empty church that is in the middle of a warzone, and the other team of snipers are preparing to shoot me from above. [ why whould they bother to aim at me, and not throw some cheap bomb. ]

Okay, thats it for my 2006 Countdown.

My 2006 New Year Resolution.

Chicken Little. and when i walk pass it, i will ALWAYS slow down and take a look ! it's just so NICE and CUTE ! Omg ! LOL ! and guess what, i found the exact video here ( as above ) lol !

Guilt

2005-10-19T20:27:00.000+08:00

Hello People.

I'm guilty. Not that i'm guilty because i didn't blog for so long, but it's because of my results.

Okay, i somehow know how to handle a car already, like how to drive it and control it. Still in the process of learning how to park i guess.

"Oh mom, i didn't really do so well for my exams this time" is usually followed by "but i did my best already." Thats how i guess most of us handle with bad results. OWN UP PEOPLE ! you know who you are ! Everyone has to go through this stage in life i guess, unless you are some brainic or something. But whats worst ? when your mother says "i wouldn't blame you son, i know you did your best already, i love you."

This Prelim exam, i must say, i didn't really do well. It may be a extremely hard exam, but still, there are people who scores. But why can't i ? It's simply because i didn't work hard enough. I must admit at this stage, that i'm guilty that i didn't work hard enough for this exam, thats why i did so badly. I barely passed my economics and i barely fail my chemistry.

Whats bad is that i'm sad enough after failing another exam, and i'm feeling even worst that my parents' are not angry with me.( not that i really want them to be angry and ignore me, but at least tell me to work harder and know what i should do at this point. ). They are just too good to me.

Maybe they are using the "soft" technique to make me work harder, i guess so. and i think it's working on me, i'm feeling very bad and guilty at times that i just wanna give them a cyber-hug.

I shall mug for the rest of my days here. Just 20 more days to my first actual paper.
I will survive ! I have only 4 subjects ! ELACS, CHEMISTRY, ECONOMICS and APPLICABLE MATHS. WooHoo !

Jiayou ! i'm stressed.
You can do it. I have to work harder.
It's going to be easy. As long as i'm able to strive.

Look Jonathan, this is your last lap in this academic year, i'm sure you want to get into University next year. If you wanna get into Biotechnology(BSc)+ Commerce-Marketing Management(BCom) in Murdoch University, you goanna work.

-great, i just wasted about 30 mins of studying time to type this ..XD ..haha ..-

FACT : Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
Comment : Oh please, don't you ever try stealing zinc metal from your school lab and start trying to chew it. Don't try asking for more copper 1cent coins to start rubbing them on your head scrap. It's not going to work. STUDY. MUG.

yup, thats it. Bye ~

God bless,
AhBoon, Jonathan

Learner's Permit

2005-10-11T23:59:00.000+08:00

I'm happy today. Really happy

apart from the fact that i have assured myself a good homestay for next year ( since i'm still underaged for university ), but i have obtained a Western Australia Learner's Permit for Class C vehicles.

C stands for Car.
okay, thats bullshit ...haha ..it's just a category name for cars that we drive everyday.

Yes, people in Singapore, you didn't read it wrongly. I am a certified driving learner now. ( not that i actually know how to drive, but i CAN learn it now, and take the Practical Exam anytime now. ) WooHoo !

okay, fine. i will share something with you. I spent 20 mins in the room in front of the computer to complete my 30 multiple choice questions for this theory exam. Yes. I did it really slowly and i really concentrated. I treated it very seriously, more seriously than my actual exams i must say ( although i know that i don't have to pay if i failed it ) ...haha ..but i actually did pay the A$56 for the theory and practical exams just now because i Passed the test ( 24/30 ) ....haha ...XD...fine, the passing mark is really 24. But !!! really, i didn't study for it. I did try to read through the book, but i fell alseep last night with it on my bed. Good enough. ( whatever -don't trust my road safety rules then )

I met ( as in accidentally bumped into her ..) my fellow murdoch college friend, Erin at the licensing centre ( corner of stock road and leach highway. ) Congrats Erin ! ( she went to do her last Hazards Test to get a 'P' plate. )-she IS a certified driver now. Congratulations ! After my mom dropped her home in Winthrop, we had lunch at home, then went to K-mart to grab a $3.99 Magnetic 'L' plate. haha ! Woooo, the feeling of paying the $4 for something you can use on the road is wonderful ! haha ....( you can actually buy it without a proper permit by the way ....) Yup ! ...haha...
haha, yes yes, i'm Obsessed with driving.

and i got a 'L' plate to learn driving.

*WoooHooo*

I'm a grown up KID now ...

okay, maybe not KID anymore.

learning driving.....

Keep Left, give way to the right. ( 2 basic rules ...)

Ah....i feel good.

FACT : Pound for pound, hamburgers cost more than new cars.
Comment : haha ....( shuts up )

Take Care people !

Midnight Oil

2005-10-02T04:59:00.000+08:00

Good morning Sir/Madam,

It’s 4.45am on the 2nd of October, 2005.
and I’m still awake.

I’m blogging, in the midst of studying.
In the middle of the night.

I know it’s bad for health to stay up late at night. The heatiness and cold, and all those kinda stuff that I may get from this night study session.
But I can’t help it. Seriously.

I have a whole pile of books in front of me, waiting patiently for me to study. I can hear them screaming at me, for ignoring them for the last week. I’m guilty, and I’m worried. My prelims are just around the corner, and OMG !~ I’m not prepared AT ALL. Okay, fine, it’s starting this Wednesday. That’s why I’m mugging away now, in my room.

The reason why I’m studying now, in the middle of the night, is because I want to see the sun rise early in the morning. ( Okay, that’s crap ). I can’t concentrate in the day ! Really, I will go to the kitchen to get food, watch television, sleep and go out. It’s THAT fun in Singapore. I just love being in Singapore. I get distractions. At night, everyone is asleep. My parents snoring away in their room, not disturbing me ( not that they DO disturb me in the day, but I will go and disturb them ..haha …).

Yup ! studying at night is really fun ! you get to hear the lizard making noises behind the cupboard, and you have to find food for yourself in the kitchen. Haha, and realizing you have to boil the water first before cooking the noodles. I think I’m sleepy ! omg ..how how how …haha …nevermind. I guess I studied quite a lot this night.

I will survive !

and I shall continue to mug away

.I shall not slack, in the name of Jonathan.

Economics ! here I come !

Not forgetting,

THE FACT OF THE DAY : Giraffes are unable to cough.

Comment : Hahahaha ! i just love my facts of the day ! haha ...May, you agree right ?! hahaha ....*cough*loser*cough*, i mean, to the giraffes lah ..haha ....actually, just imagine them cough, haha ...all the bones at the neck and body will fall off, and haha ...EEEwww ...boneless giraffe ..haha ....good night people !

Take Care,
AhBoon-Jonathan [ it's 5.00am already ! omg ! ]

Singapore.

2005-09-28T12:00:00.000+08:00

Haha, Hi people !
[ Sorry about the slight delay of blogging.]

I'm back in Singapore already, this time,for slightly more than a week.

Yup. haha ! Sms me ! haha !
Can't really meet up with you guys anyway, i'm back to study for my Prelims anyway. Yup.
[okay, thats crap, i just went out with a couple of you guys and had a whole lot of time ~]

Haha, okay, i'm back for good anyway. In the name of good food and family, i'm back after 3 months of boredom.
OMG ! Things around me really changed quite a lot.

Firstly, I went to Newton Circles ( Singapore's Hottest Hawker Food Centre ) for a meal with my parents. and guess what, it's closing down next month for a renovation, that is going to take 2 years. Oh Man, where on earth can i find a Substitute for such great food ? haha, don't worry, there will be a temporary centre set up just behind the current location.

Secondly, i sat down on my sofa at home, wanting to watch television yesterday afternoon. As usual, i picked up the remote controls ( 1 for the tv and 1 for the SCV ( cable television ) ). I realise i can't operate this machine anymore, becuase the SCV control box was changed a couple of weeks ago, and it's a totally new technology. OMG ! i switched on the television and, (-.-" )

Yeah, blue screen. i was like " WHAT THE " . and i tried pressing and playing with the buttons, but...hai...no idea. and i have to resort to my last alternative, listen to the radio instead. OMG ! it's like so embrassing ! i don't even know how to watch television after 3 months in Perth. I have become so 'SAN BA', or 'SUAI GU',like some old hag coming from the countryside,adapting to technology.( okay, the new control box is cool anyway, there is a tv guide that is within your 'click' on the control ! haha ! so cool ! and they will give you a synopsis. )

Thirdly, i realise that i have problems communicating with the people here, at least, to a certain extent. I was trying to order hotpot noodle ( xiao wan mien ) in a food court yesterday, then this auntie ask me whether i want mee pok or mee kia, then i was like wondering, what is the difference between them, it's like, okay ...anything. Then the auntie was like " ni yao which one ? " then i say anything. then she was like "Hai "...then i faster say MEE KIA ! haha ...wohoo ! got lunch ! haha ....nice !

Okay lah, i think i'm the one changing only lah, just that i'm not used to the environment, thats all. But, I Love Singapore.

-----------------------------------------------

I love the crowd, traffic and transportation. Transportation is damn convinent here !

I love the weather in Singapore [ the cool breeze and the overall warm temperature.]

I love my Friends here in Singapore, (Bingwei,Yijia,Derek, Kenneth,Yvonne,Sally, Catherine, May, more more more ..) [ don't jealous lah, those of you all in Perth, ]

I love the shelter i can get in Singapore when it rains !

I love the great food i can get in Singapore, Easily and Cheaply.

I love the sense of security i get in Singapore. It's just Safe.

I love the sound of the EZ-link buzzer that goes off everytime you tap your card. haha ..

I love the Greenery in Singapore

I love the Cleanliness here.

I love my Family here. I'm Lovin them !

I love being in Singapore. Uniquely Singapore

I love Singapore.

------------------------------------

Okay, today i shall also blog on my outing i had with my mates here in Singapore. Thanks Peeps for the great time ! We had heaps of fun !. We met in the city ( not that the city is so far off a city like in Australia, but we still do have a couple of roads join together that is called city. it's that great ! haha, truely Singapore.it's so accessible !)

yup, okay, we went to have a great game of Pool in the city, and i obtained a perfect score of 100% wins today - 6 games. All Wins ! haha ! i really think playing Yahoo! Pool on the internet really improve your vision and your foresight. ( Aiya, guys, i'm expecting you to request for rematch lah, haha ..it's okay, i hardly win anyway ..haha ... ) I played against BingWei ( 1 game ), Yijia ( 4 games ) and Kenneth ( 1 game ). Woohoo ! i just think it's my luck lah ..haha ...

We then went over to Plaza Singapura and tired to decide on what we want to have for dinner. We initially wanted to have Newton Circles Hawker food for dinner, but we were worried that it's going to rain, so heck, we spent like an hour deciding what we want for dinner. After calling friends around for suggestion ( although it's not very practical to call friends who are Vegetarian anyway, yes, you kenneth. ) , we settled for Sushi Tei in Paragon, so we walked all the way from Plaza Singapura to Paragon.( thats like 2 MRT stations away, but it was fun. )

Had lots of Fun in Sushi Tei ! haha , taking photos and bumping in yijia. haha, not on purpose one LOH ! -.-" haha ... woohoo, yum ! haha ...and not forgetting the HOT green tea we got there.

All By Myself

2005-09-18T19:44:00.000+08:00

Hey ! i really have no idea what to blog on today, but i really think i should post an entry because it has been so long since i last blogged.

It's Week 10 already People !
To friends and family in Singapore, i'm coming back next week to study ! Yup, i'm here for the last 9 weeks already, and i have not seen my you guys for more than 2 months already, i really hope you guys didn't change much, i didn't change anyway ...still the same old me. ( Not expired though. )

I'm feeling the stress level going up now .. It's 2 weeks away from the Prelims. and i haven't really prepared for it, yet. i SHALL study hard now, it's my final lap to my actual exams, and pre-university course. I really want to get into University, hopefully doing Biotechnology and Commerce ( Marketing...) Yup.

I'm also feeling quite sick today, not sure why, just tired and having a cold i guess. and i feel so -alone- here today, maybe it's because of the cold that is making me blur. Omg ! i really need to study tonight.

Off i go, before i leave, just a song for all of you, to put across what i want to say here.

"All By Myself"

by Celine Dion

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

Livin' alone

I think of all the friends I've known

When I dial the telephone

Nobody's home

All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myself

Anymore

Hard to be sure

Sometimes I feel so insecure

And loves so distant and obscure

Remains the cure

All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myselfAnymore

All by myself

Don't wanna live

All by myself

Anymore

When I was young

I never needed anyone

Making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myself

Anymore

All by myself

Don't wanna live

By myself, by myself

Anymore

By myself

Anymore

All by myself

Don't wanna live

I never, never, never

Needed anyone

Go download, it's so touching. OMG.

Yeah, to end off,
It's the ...

Multicultural Day

2005-09-14T21:20:00.000+08:00

BooCha

Booo........................

...............Cha
Hey,

Okay, it was Multicultural day yesterday in school. The whole day BORING, BORING BORING ! it's like everyone dress up so weirdly. And people wearing costumes that you will least expect them in. I didn't really like my Australian costume that i rent from the school for $15 for just less than 24 hours.

It was quite boring la, like everyone wondering around and see each other, but i'm like -what the heck, can we just get back to class and learn ? my prelims are in 2 weeks time, damnit.- yeah, that was me, the whole of yesterday. Maybe i felt touched for just a little while, when the Singapore flag appeared.

Okay, the whole school assembled in the Quad, and they started announcing country by country, all 28 countries i think ? and each country someone will represent and hold the flag out and walk across the quad, like a parade. Singapore flag was the last by the way, and one of the biggest. hahaa ..and all my friends shouted, some teared, it was that touching, seeing your country's flag flying high in another country, and in front of so many people I clapped, excitedly, while some cheered, ( kinda dumb to have my tag-mate, a indonesian, to carry the singapore flag btw ..but it's okay, he's the chosen one ..haha ...Sorry Valy ! i really didn't want to walk around in my funny costume in front of so many people.) I knew it would be such a honour to carry the singapore flag, but, haix, okay, i somehow regret it, but its over, and nothing much can be done with it....

As usual, the normal multicultural day assembly with the different highlights like talks, speeches, singing, and different programs put up by fellow students. Someone from the US embassy even came in and talk about the terrorist and it's impact.and it's quite solemn, sept 11 just 2 days before, and the severe Flooding in New Oleans.

At the end of the day, everyone gathered in the Quad again, and started circling around the flags in the middle ( although there are people who walk the wrong direction, but it's funny, it's confusing..) This part of the day was the most touching i must say. Its like WoW, international school, so many people from so many different countries, under 1 name - Murdoch College, all for the sake of Studying.

Some Pictures to show this impressive moment,

See the huge Singapore Flag in the middle left of the photo below ? isn't it touching ...?
and see the bottom left of the photo above ! hahaha ...he's leaving the crime scene ! everyone run ! it's not suicide by the way, he's leaving ! haha ....danger ! haha ~
don't think anyone avoided him though ..no one bothered, maybe he wore that to attract attention only la ..haha

yeah, that was somehow it already, just another photo with me and my friends in MC,

i changed back by the way, because i have to return the RENT costume ! -.-" haha ....

okay, enough of it, get back to reality Jonathan ! WAKE UP !
( just now i slept while studying in the University library leh, i dunno why i'm so tired...)

I'm pretty stressed up now, partly because there's 2 test tomorrow, namely Economics and ELACS. It's the last test for both subjects already, and i really want to do well, considering my grades dropped pretty much since term 1. Yup, haiX

Studying is Fun ! Yay !

Gambatte ! ( spell correctly anot ? i dunno le ...)

Fact of the day : The bubbles in Guinness Beer sink to the bottom rather than float to the top like all other beers. No one knows why.

Comment : Take that ! thats freaky isn't it ? it could be the organic compound and it's C=C bond or something liddat ! someone enlighten me ! haha ....Cool ! Pub/Disco Go-ers, anyone noticed this yet ?! ahaha ~.

Take Care pple !

Week 9

2005-09-10T19:12:00.000+08:00

WoooHoo !

It's week 9 already ! ( this coming week is week 9 btw ..)
I'm quite happy ! because it's going to be the end of this school year again, ( without the actual exams i mean .)
but i'm stressed up too ! because the exams are coming soon, both Prelims and actual WAUFP

Countdown :
25 days to Prelims
58 days to WAUFP

OMG ! it's so so so Soon ! Yay ! I'm so looking forward to going back to singapore and enjoy the 3 months exams. Really. Life's not that good here and i really want to go back.

I received another letter from the School yesterday.
Message : Head Lice.

Okay, frankly, i find it very funny, but it's freaking me out too. Okay, here's what was written.

Head Lice

The college has been notified of a number of cases of head live amongst our students. Head lice are tiny insects that live in human hair. They are not caused by poor hygiene and they do not carry diseases. Head live transfer from student to student when their hair is in close contact. For this reason, head live infestation is relatively common in school environment.

This Weekend we are asking all parents/guardians in the College to undertake a head lice check of their student's hair for head lice, using hair conditioner and metal 'nit' comb. Hair conditioner is recommended as it 'stuns' head live, making it easier to trap and remove them by combing with a 'nit' comb.

What to do : [ adapted from Department of health, Government of Western Australia ]
1) Apply plenty of hair conditioner to the dry hair until saturated. Comb through with an ordinary comb or brush to remove tangles.

2) Section and comb the hair thoroughly with a metal fine-tooth 'nit' comb in 4 directions - forwards, backwards, left, and right. Continue to section and comb the whole head like this.

3) Wipe the comb on a white paper towel or tissue as you work, and when completely finished, examine your findings to check for any lice or hatchings. Hatchlings are young lice that emerge from eggs. You may need to use a magnifying glass and a strong light to see lice or eggs.

4) Using white hair conditioner may make it easier to see the head lice

5) When combing is completed, rinse the hair conditioner out and dry the hair.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Haha, that was it, and i find it very funny. haha ...okay lah, it's serious anyway...but it's like asking my homestay guardian to help me check head lice ? you think i'm monkey ar ? it's like you want me to sit there, then they check your hair like those Vet checking fleas in the monkey or dog ar ...haha... After reading this letter, i went home and quickly went to bathe and wash my hair in HOT water ..really hot ..haha...don't think i have them anyway ..haha ..yeah.

Okay, enough of the Head Lice, i went for a walk this morning once i woke up. It's so freaking cold man ..really..it's like in an open field and the winds are strong, and it's cold ..but i managed to jog for a total of 40 mins, with rest in between laps. Then i went to the supermarket and took a free advertisement for apples and the nutritional information. Guess what, there are a total of 12 different types of apple that is avaliable in Perth, namely,
Royal Gala, Jonagold, Golden delicious, Hi early, Red delicious, Granny Smith, Pink Lady ( i love them ..) , Braeburn, Fuji, Sundowner, Lady Williams and Jonathon (haha ! haven't tried them though..).

haha, cool ! there's an apple names after me ! haha ..

Okay, here's what written on the leaflet for Jonathon Apples.

__________________________

Jonathon

Australians have been enjoying the Jonathon variety for over 100 years. With a crisp, sweet juicy flesh, the Jonathan has a pale skin with scattered red stripes, and often has a red blush.

_____________________________

haha, they are enjoying my presence, although i'm 17 years old only, not 100 -.-". I'm crisp ( decisive ), sweet ( girls...take note of this ) juicy flesh ( shall not comment on this ). haha, i have a pale skin ( though enough, i darken a lot through the years and i have scattered red stripes ( true enough, i do have when i have rashes ) and aNd AND ! often has a red blush ! ( how many of you agrees with this ? it's really true ! i'm born with this permanent red blush, not really permanent lah, but prominent. yeah..haha !

okay, i have no idea why i'm comparing myself with an apple..but yah, i shall eat more apples as snacks and go for jogging more often ( attempting really hard to lose weight man ... )

Yup, thats it for now ! take care pple ! i'm doing my best to make this blog interesting. Please note that i have prelims coming up too, and teachers are rushing to give us assessments before the holidays.

FACT OF THE DAY : "I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Comment : haha ! don't tell this to a primary school student, just in case they argue with their teacher about this when asked for a complete sentence. and don't try to write this for a comprehension answer just because teachers ask you to complete the sentences.

Bye bye !

Severe Storm Warning.

2005-09-06T17:29:00.000+08:00

Hey People,
don't worry about me, i'm fine here.

It's still okay and calm here.

Yesterday i was studying in the University grounds after school, and i was happily listening to the radio on my MP3 ( okay, fine, i'm sick of my songs, but cannot download ! internet so slow and unstable. )...Yup, i was listening listening and doing my maths,until the person continued with the daily weather report thing, as usual. The reporter was like ...
" Please be warned that there is a storm approaching Perth in a couple of hours, bringing heavy rain and strong winds until tomorrow morning. This could be the worst storm in Perth this year so far. "
Okay, that was it, i quickly pack up and left the place with my friends. The world outside just horrible ? everything seem so gloomy and dark. Animals running back to their home, trees and bushes rustled in the strong wind, birds flocking towards the north in huge groups ( we decided it was north because of the sunset and some guessing ....thanks peeps ..). Yup, it was quite scary, eveyone rushing home i think. haha ~and and and ! i saw a bird crashing into the tree becuase the wind was THAT strong.

I found the whole experience quite cool, it's like, WOW ! do we have like these severe weather warning back in Singapore too ? haha, i think it's becuase the weather is quite extreme here. As i'm tying this, it's still raining and there's really strong wind. But, it's funny i didn't experience as serious storm as i did before a couple of weeks back. but yeah, it was quite scary. I was watching the news just now, and .... they reported hundreds of homes are left without power after the storm lashed through Perth last night. Wow ! okay .....thank goodness i'm still typing this and posting it online. Okay, maybe it didn't affect my suburb as much, like maybe it's South-West Perth, further out in the country-side.( not that i'm living in the city or what, but maybe just further away from thr main Perth City, like rural areas ? )OKay, i shall watch the news tonight and try to find out more about it. haha ! cool !

And ! today i'm quite happy, because i received a Birthday Card after like 2 weeks ? yup ! thanks Yvonne, Yijia, BingWei and Derek. Thanks guys ! it's really nice of you ! and the card is beautiful anyway, considering it travelled like thousands of miles in motorcycle, van, airplanes, bicycles and trolleys ? haha, don't think shipping is involved here anyway..haha thanks ! ....someone wrote " You are our moon and stars in the dark night, you brighten our days even the clouds are grey. " Thanks ! hahaha ! i know that anyway ..BUT BUT BUT ! you know whats the next sentence ?! -----> " LOL !!! JUST KIDDING !! ", okay that really hurt me alot ! haha, and made me burst into laughter. haha, dunno whetehr to cry or laugh sia.. HOR BINGWEI ! DON"T THINK I DUNNO IT"S YOU SIA ! THE WAY YOU WRITE YOUR 'a' GOT YOU BUSTED. your handwriting really gave you away man, you are the only one that write the 'A' like 'a' ...the rest is the normal a .. yup ! haha ...thanks for that thought anyway ....i really LIKE it ..haha, serious ! thanks !

Yup ! thanks peeps ! although the card is like 2 weeks late? but it's okay, i really appreaciate it a lot. thanks ! love you guys ! come back then celebrate with you all kk ? yup, thanks !

Take care pple !

Fact Of The Day ! : Daily, you will breathe in 1 liter of other people's anal gases
Comment : EEWWWWW ! thats disgusting ! yucks ! hahaha ...admit it ! * points fingers at you ! * must be you right ?! hahaha .......

Mayflower

2005-09-03T20:37:00.000+08:00

Another week passed.

and it's Week 8 already.
The year is coming to an end, soon.

I really think i have grown up. or rather, i think i'm learning to grow up now.
Things really changed since the first day i'm here, a simple example - i bought socks today for myself.

Secondary School Days.

Okay, everyone changes through time. So do i, but to what extent is the matter. Am i gaining independance here? or i'm hiding myself in the shell, and wondering in my comfort zone ?

Okay, according to Sally, MS changed too, bigger and better ( like those advertisement, "Now, back with a bigger, better formula ..." ) ....but maybe it's just a matter of size.
[ Anyway, Weejia, you remember last time we take height and weight ? then the MS guy go and record himself as 50KG when i was like 53 already ? hahaha ..funny sia, then we went to confront him, he say he do skipping everyday ! haha , from then on, we will laugh at the floor he's skipping on every PE lesson ...haha ... ]

Okay, that was just something i just remember from my Secondary School days. I miss those good old days. Looking back at times, it's like, i enjoy every single moment of it, although i did whinge and whine about things. Yup.

Last year, i sat at the back row of the class. With JiaYing and Sally, then i dunno why, become Catherine too...dont remember..haha .. Yup, We WERE HaoJieMei ....like always bitch around and stuff. Things aren't the same anymore. I don't laugh over bad vocals while singing like Catherine does, i don't argue with anyone here like i do with Sally, neither do i have any snacks to scam off from others like JiaYing... I miss all of you pple. To Catherine and Sally : We must really really meet up when i get back okay ? ( although it's too early to decide now..but yah i really hope we can meet up and have a good laugh .. )

Okay, when it comes to Homework here, i do everything myself, becuase teachers here don't really give homework. Even if there is, i will be able to finish it like in an hour's time. Yeah, thats live here. But thinking about it, i guess it's becuase i don't have that many distractions here that will affect my concentration on my School work. Yeah, i think thats it. Everyday, it's the same routine for me, Wake Up, Prepare Breakfast and Lunch, Eat, Go to School, Go to Library after School TO STUDY , then Come home, Bathe, and have dinner, then continue studying ... Now you know why i am able to finish my homework and do revision ? Unlike Singapore, when my parents will just bring me out and walk walk, have dinner, or i will spend hours on the computer surfing the net and playing games ( i can't really surf the net here, nor play games here ...becuase the internet is so damn lousy..), i really concentrate on my school work here.
Talking about Homework issue, in Secondary School, taking 4 Justice in particular, copying homework is like SO COMMON. haha ..but it's like HOR HOR HOR here..haha ...becuase i have so much time anyway. Here's a list of people that i rely on for homework in 4J ( if i wasn't able to complete them... ) Weejia, Sally ( Chinese !!!!!!!! ) Shufang (English) , Catherine ( English, Geog, Maths, Literature,Sciences ), Darren ( Maths...if you understand his handwriting ...) . Yup, thats about it. actually, when i'm desperate, anyone will do, but ! I will make sure i understand everything before i copy.So it's just reference, not COPYING ...yup. haha !

Not forgetting the fun we have in class in Mayflower ( contrasting to the sit-down-and-study pple here ..) Jamie(for her arguments),Eugene(for his BHB-ness), Sean (for his curiousity), WeeKuang ( for his blur-ness ), Andy ( for his cold jokes- best ), Rong Jun ( for his laughter and socks ), PeiYi ( for her whinning ), Nadia ( for her coolness ), Sally ( for her J-pop-ness acting like a big shot btw.. ), Weejia( for his songs ), MengSuan and MeiWen and so on......

Teachers, i must say, play a very important role in my life. Without their guidance and teachings ..( sounds so 'template' ), i wouldn't have made it the way i am today ( honestly ..)
Ms Faridah- Geography (Form Teacher)
Ms Balan - English, Literature
Mr Fam - A.maths and E.maths
Mrs Ong - CHEMISTRY ! ( ROCKS )
Mr Prem - Physics (and Head Master )
Mr Fong- Social Studies ( All right okay, lets go ..)
Mr Lee and Ms Cheam - PE, ( okay, not that imporant, but Mr Lee does play a part guiding me -.-" DUHHHH )
Here, i only have like as many teachers in total too, But it's funny here, we are strictly teacher and student..no fun, just studies.
Mrs Lee (ELACS- English Language )
Mrs Hall (ELACS- Australian Cultural Studies )
Dr Skinner ( CHEMISTRY - DR wor ..)
Mr Mackay/Mrs Colgon ( Economics )
Mr Chris deHaer ( Applicable Mathematics )
Mr Duthie ( Form teacher ...)

The School Structure is pretty much different too, it's like we don't have a fix class here, nor a fix classroom. it's like University i guess, you just go to the room and attend the lecture. yeah, so you meet different people and friends in different periods. I still remember in Mayflower, i hate the morning assembly and school assemby ( on Monday ..) IT SUCKS becuase we have to really sit down there so bloody long, and wasting our time. Here, it's much better, reach school by 8.24,get into the classroom by 8.25am, and thats it, no morning assembly to catch pple late, no singing, no book reading ( or rather, test studying ..). If you are late for a particular class, the teacher can send you to the office to get a 'late-note'. it's like to write down your name and they keep a record like how many times you are late. Everytime you get 3, they will warn you and send a letter to your homestay or parents.( I think it's really dumb becuase it's like you late already, still need to waste time to get a note from the office, then come back and join the lesson, wouldn't you miss even more than just joining the class late ? )

Yup, that somehow sums up the difference between my life NOW and Mayflower, not really complete, but ya, a summary. Thats it ! I miss Mayflower. really,

Fact of the Day : Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies.
Comment: Okay, this is starting to freak me out. this is not what i mean by we all change through time, but it's just a interesting fact, and freaky too! Yup, thats carry, but please don't get a baby and start counting, it's dumb. What happens to the 94 bones ??! corrode ? dissolve ?! STOP DRINKING COKE ! it's acidic ! haha ~

Take Care !

Spring

2005-09-01T21:22:00.000+08:00

Hello,

Spring has come, supposedly.

Yup.and I’m blogging because I’m bored. Really bored. My economics test this morning was postponed to tomorrow morning because the test papers were not ready for my class. Haha, quite lucky. At least I have 1 more day to get my facts right …I studied International Economics the WHOLE day today …yeah, went to the University Library and continued my Economics Revision for the test tomorrow. And I’m still trying out the practice questions now. Quite sick of Economics already, I really want to get over and done with this test soon, hopefully tomorrow, so I will have the weekend to study the other subjects.

Okay, today’s topic will be somehow related to Coke. Haha, yeah. Somehow.Remember the days when we are still in primary school ? or even Secondary school when we run all the way to the canteen and buy a cup of coke because we are so thirsty ? Okay, -out-of-topic already. Haha. I’m planning to just talk about how we grow and change through time.It’s like, through time, we will change gradually and become who we are today. Okay, I must admit that I WAS childish and stubborn last time, and it really irritated many people. Childish in a sense that I am not a child anymore. haha, PowerPuff ! ( okay, nevermind ) Now, growing up, I look at things differently already, I have my own prospective. Seriously, it’s as simple as looking at a can of coke and snapping a picture.

When you are young, you will just hold the camera happily and excitedly to snap a shot. And most of the times, the photo turns out to be like this ….

............yeah, you see what you see, front view, like so Superficial ...thats life and thats how it works.....

However, as we grow older and know how to deal with things around us, we often look at this can of coke more maturely ( and artistically in this sense ) and you will get a better view of life….

You will see the stress, problems, fun and love in your life that you have never encounter before. And many of the times, youths get distracted and led onto the wrong path in life, and they do wrong things. ( obviously ..) but ! I must make a point here that there are always times when you see the dark side of people. It’s like, yeah, you see the mean part of life… unfairness, inequalities and favoritism…hope that the person will change.Okay, I’m also not sure what point I’m making here, nor do I know what message I want to relay in this blog entry, but that’s what I’m thinking about now as I write, things that just come to my mind. ( Most probably I will fail this essay if it’s a test …no proper structure or content ..so random ..)

Okay, thats all i'm going to say. Short and Sweet, but confusing and content-less...Sorry, but i really don't know what i want to get here. Thats it. Yup. i took these photos. Nice right ? a lot of people said that i'll make a good photographer...it's like the photos i take are so artistic and brillant ! haha ! So honoured...yup .. Lets take a look at the Hyatt hotel i took when i was at Sarah's Birthday Party. I just realised it's so nice and sharp ... like those model we see at showflats..haha ...

Nice right ? yup...thats it for now. Take care People !

Fact : Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.

Comment : Okay, everything today, to me, is so random. sorry people. Yup, believe or not, peanuts ( $1 for such a big pack ) are one of the ingredients of dynamite. But don't be dumb, the whole dynamite is NOT made of peanuts only ....-.- "

Take care,
Ahboon, Jonathan

Winter

2005-08-31T20:08:00.000+08:00

Okay ! it's 31st August ( Malaysia's National Day anyway ... )

and it marks the end of Winter, offically.

but of course, we all know that the heat don't just come like that, it's over a period of time, a short one i hope. because i really want to go around the house and out with just a T-shirts and shorts on ...instead of the present T-shirt + Sweater + Jacket situation. Yup. That's Winter, in Perth.

Although the winter here is not as COLD as the snowing Melbourne, it's still considered Cold to me, considering i just come over from a tropical warm climate, Singapore. I don't remember how winter came about 3 months ago, seriously, i don't. I guess it's just the slow and gradual change in temperature...really slow, thats why i don't realise. But yeah. but what i do remember is that Winter came early, pushing Autumn out of the season, bringing it's long and chilling rain. It was early, it came really unexpectedly. and caught many Australians by surprise.

I still remember, it rained literally EVERYDAY, EVERY moment when Winter came, and it was awful. Really. My clothes are wet, my shoes are wet and my umbrella get blown away in the heavy storm, leaving me with my school bag and jacket, screaming in the cold. Okay, this is not ThAT bad, the worst is when your laundry don't dry !!!! OMG ! i can never forget this part of winter, when i have to constantly run in and out of the house, collecting my laundry and bedsheets to keep them dry. Argh....

Not forgetting the Hail storm that really disturb me, and leave me in shock the first night, then i got used to it soon after. It was loud, and shocking. like stones and rocks falling from the sky. ( and imagine my room is beside a backyard made of Zinc roofs...like a rock band hitting metals ....haha ..)Yeah people, it's ice falling from the sky, not snow. Snow is romantic, but not when ICE hit you straight on the face. I still remember i was about to leave for school 1 day when i pick up my bag, and *pong* ....( must be bird shit .. ) ....* Pong Pong * ..( bird stomach pain ar ? ) ....* PONG PONG PONG PONG PONG * and it went on ...and on ...yeah, it was hail. in bright sunlight ?! yeah, it's still possible.....

It's funny how you have to take care of yourself here, in the cold. Especially when your home has no heater. ( Bloody Stingy fellas....no heater for us ...so selfish ! fine, i'm moving out soon ...like 2 months ? ) ....It's quite heartwarming to know that i know how to keep myself warm, with thick clothings....until now, i still go to bed with 3 layers of clothes, t-shirt, sweater and jacket ...haha ! it's that cold, and sometimes i wear gloves and use scarf if it's really cold ...Okay, Technique 1 : Open your window in the day, and have it shut, really shut before sunset, so that the heat will be trapped in your room, and you will not feel so cold. That's when technique 2 come into handy : plan your day well, don't expect to come back late at night with the window STILL open and the cold is coming in .... it happened several times though ...haix ...

Yup ! Winter, it's good in some sense ....but i really think Autumn and Spring are better, summer too, but not the extreme summer..when temperatures hit 42 degrees ?! Yup, talking about temperatures, Winter : 0 degrees to 14-18 degrees MAX ...yup.

I really hope winter is ending soon, to put a stop to my cold shoulder to others too, beacuse i'm always shivering and shaking in the cold.... and it's hard to write when you are shivering ! really ! it's more like the heart-beat thiny in the hospital man ...up and down ..until you get a straight line. Spring Spring, please come fast ! and remember to bring the heat with you ...haix ...

Bye Winter !
byebye !
Take care Winter !
Seeya Mate next year again !
Bye !

Fact : Coca-Cola was originally green.
[ This fact is for my dear friend, Sally, ( someone who is so obsessed with dirty green ...)]
Can you believe the black thing you have been drinking is orignally green ? it's like *YEWwww* ....what is it made out of in the first place ? green ? don't tell me some organic grass ...haha .....

Take Care people ! ( and winter ...)

Hill's Forest Discovery Centre.

2005-08-30T18:57:00.000+08:00

HeLlo

I went for an Excursion today to Hill's Forest Discovery Centre.
It was fun..

[ Humans set sold seperately. Fun not included. Ages 3+]

okay, maybe not THAT fun.

only the lunch break, to me, is quite fun. We took photos,

We took photos, but only about 3 of them with me inside, as a group photo, it was quite boring.
Trekking through the forest in a cold Winter morning, when the bird calls and wind rustling above us as Spring arrive. The whole excursion was split into 2 parts, Trekking and Tools Making.

Trekking, we walked around, and take note of how the Aboriginal people survive in the nature with the different types of berries and plants. and how they built houses then burn them down for fertilizers....they move house without bringing anything.

Tools making. A couple of the students in the group made weapons ( axes ) by buring a wood stick with some powder to create a 'glue' to stick the hard and sharp rock on before it solidify. Yup, It was fun seeing how the powder and wood catch fire before the weapon was even done. haha ! it's like ! " oh, there goes my weapon....it got burnt by the fire. it lost to the fire. " ...haha ! but fun overall lah. Thanks Teachers and Guide anyway !

Yup ! thats all ! haha ! for now ....i came home and enjoyed my Potato Salad ( bought it from the supermarket, not the bush walk thingy..... ) ! OMG ! it's really nice i tell you,

[ Herbs, Cooked Potato ( 76% ), Salt, Dressing, Vegetables ....haha, nice...]

Fact : A one minute kiss burns 26 calories.
Comment : Everyone start kissing ! haha ! gogo, don't be shy ! ( but, oh please, find someone of the opposite sex for goodness sake..... ) haha ! thats quite a cool fact right ?! hahaaha ~ now you know those those models and stuff keep their shape....haha ...

Cheers,

Fact : The cigarette lighter was invented before the match

Comment : Hahaha ! Can you believe that ?! haha ! hahaha ! it's like ! wow ! hahahaa

Fact : The first ever ""World Summit on Toilets"" was held in Singapore in November 2001.

Comment : Don't be surprise why Singapore has the cleanest toilet in the world ! haha ! it also implies that we have great toilet cleaners ?! what ?! haha ! yeah, thats a fact i hope ....it's funny why they choose such a small country for such a world summit and it's even funnier to know that there is such a summit ( meeting .) for toilets ?! haha ~

Yup ! thats it for now !
Take care,

Thursday, Ausust 25th

2005-08-25T22:04:00.000+08:00

Hey People !

Firstly, i would like to thank those people who wish me 'Happy Belated Birthday' today. Thanks Sally ( from Singapore ) too, for the lovely e-card she sent at 11.59 sharp last night, the last minute of my birthday. yup ! and thanks May ( from singapore too ) for that testimonial in friendster. yup ! thanks people too ! ( Although i am still waiting for my present .... ) I'm actually quite dissapointed, seriously, it's like there are quite a number of people who says "i will get you a birthday present", then on that day," Oh, i forgot to get you the gift". I'm fine with that, but it's like, if you really cherish the friendship, at least apologise or something, make an effort to make me feel that you actually care for me, on my birthday at least. It's like yeah, you didn't even bother about my birthday, didn't even give a damn about me i reckon. If you really treat me as a good friend, i'm sure you will BRING at least a BAR of chocolate or something from home to give me first right ....But it's fine. I'm used to friends like that.

Yup, i was quite bored today, so i decided to have my hair cut, not a big difference though, it's still as long and disgusting ...damnit...AUD$20 ( Sin$26 ) for nothing but just a few strands of hair cut. Yup. Then i come home and started studying for my Economics Test tomorrow. It's on International Trade and the Balanace of Payment in the Australian Economy.

Can i teach you something ? ( For those of you having econs test tomorrow too, and is so free to read my blog, i guess this will help you too. I'm typing this out so that i'll remember too ...)
Australia's Current Account Deficit

Asian Economic Crisis in the late 1990s significantly reduced the demand for Australia's exports which was a key factor in the large trade deficit of 1998-99.
Australia experienced a severe drought which had a negative impact on the trade balance in 2002-2003.
Since the mid 1980s, the size of the income deficit has increased to an enormous level due to the interest payments on past borrowing.
Australia's current account deficit deceased significantly in 2000-2001 because the economy slowed, reducing the demand for imports and because of the effect of the large depreciation in the Australian Dollar

Hor hor hor ! those who don't know ! faster take pen and paper out and copy lah ! hhaha, thats economics ( International Trade )...haix ...quite fun la, but have to know a lot for general knowledge.

Fact of the day : According to Genesis 1:20-22, the chicken came before the egg.

okay, let me type out Genesis 1:20-22 for you here.

20.And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."21.So God created tge great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to it's kind. And God saw that it was good. 22.God blessed them and said, " Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

yup, that was it. It answers out childhood question and Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ )...haha ! now you know it ! haha ..don't ask me why the chicken cross the road. i don't think i have the fact for it .......haha ~ this is so interesting right ...everything you learn something new ! -online with Ahboon Jonathan- !! haha ~

To end off, i really hope you guys can link your blogs to mine, so that more of my friends can read this ...haha ~ thanks !

Cheers,
Ahboon, Jonathan

Still in my sweet 16

2005-08-23T21:00:00.000+08:00

Hello People,
I'm still in my sweet 16,right at this moment i mean,
tomorrow, i will be turning 17 already. yup. The next time i blog again, i will be the Jonathan in hits 17th year on earth, hopefully with a more mature thinking.

It's my birthday eve today, and i'm still mugging away, i guess i will be still mugging tomorrow. It's like my world revolves around books and notes. Let me show you something, as promised,
( From Left, Rungend, Connie, Sherissa and me )
and guess who took the photo ? haha ! it's set on auto counter ! ahaha ! countdown 10 seconds and we put it on a pile of books to raise it up so that we look good. haha ~ and i just admire my photography, i adjust the angle and stuff to include the logo of the cafe - Sir Walters Cafe, Murdoch University Library.hahaha, and i still remember the fun we had while taking this photo. It's so funny ! it's like the camera will start blinking for 10 seconds then the blinking will be more intensive, like an atomic bomb, haha, then i will burst into laughter because it looks like those cartoon network TNT bombs when it will blink and slightly lift of the ground with smoke, and thats it. hahaha ~ so funny !
Yeah, those are the memory that i will hold, of studying in murdoch university library with murdoch college students. yup ~ i have been studying in the murdoch library for the last couple of weeks, everyday i mean ( except saturday ), like until the sky turns dark, and i will go home. yup, i guess its quite good, becuase i have friends to accompany me, and to encourage me to work.

I guess i'm quite vulnerable to the changes in life. There are many changes in life, that really affect my mood. I'm still in the process of accepting Murdoch University and Perth as the place i will adjust to for the next 4 years.yup, i was practically quite upset and depressed when i realise the possibility of me staying in Perth to study university because for the last couple of months, i have been working my ass off because i thought i will be able to go to other states of Australia, to BIGGER cities to have a life. Yup. but it's okay, i have to take things once at a time, i'm sure god will enlighten my path ahead and plan my future for me, for he is the god i believe in.yup ! Cheer Up ! i'll be fine.

Yup ! It's my birthday tomorrow. and i'm worried that i will not receive a single 'happy birthday' or birthday present tomorrow. It's quite sad you know, when you are overseas, without your family to celebrate your brithday with you, and no friends that go out and celebrate with you,i mean, i will also don't go out here lah, the mock exams are coming anyway,yup ! nevermind, i know a couple of friends will say happy birthday to me anyway. anyway, i'm not expecting presents, really. it's like don't worry about them people. haha ~ really. Just a happy birthday and i will be contented. yup. !

AND AND AND People ! i have decided to include a interesting fact or quote everyday, so that my blog will be interesting, at least, for that sentence. Yup ! look out for them ! haha ~

Today's Fact : You burn 20 calories per hour chewing gum.
Comment: haha ! everyone get gum ! and chew ! haha ~ not too many a day though, it has laxative effects ! haha ! and buy those that help you get white teeth too ! 2 in 1 use ! haha ! it's like chewing a gum for 15 hours burn off the calories for a hamburger ! haha ~ yup ! GET GUMS ! ( if they have in singapore too ..)

Cheers,
Ahboon, Jonathan

DimSum

2005-08-21T10:58:00.000+08:00

Haha ! Hi People !

I had a great day yesterday in the city. Yay ! and i feel that i KNOW how to go to the city and explore already.Yup, We ( Connie, Pat, Sherissa, Erin and i ) meet up after the applicable mathematics seminar to go to the city to have lunch and to get something for our friend. Yup, Connie and i left for the city immediately after the applicable mathematics seminar to meet with the rest, but they are obviously late, so we left without them and meet them in the city. Yup, We sat down at a chinese dimsum resturant and started ordering with our broken cantonese.

[ Picture removed by administrator ]

With the help of fellow Murdoch College student, Vinton of course, to take our orders. A waiter who doesn't even have a proper pen to write, and i had to grab a pen from my pencil case for him....( thats like dumb right ....waiter get pen from customer )
But nevermind, he was really helpful, like our private waiter liddat, everytime attend to us one...even risk his 'rice bowl' ( job ..) to help us take a group photo.

Yep ( From left, Patricia, Me, Erin, Connie and Sherissa )...

The DimSum was excellent ! Very Nice ! i just cannot wait to go back there and eat again ! Oh My Gosh, just thinking about it, i'm like so hungry now.

Yep, It was nice !

Then we went next door to play pool for a while ( note, it was like 30 mins only ...) because they wanted to go sing Karaoke. [ Hey Yijia, Bingwei and Derek ! hahaha....i played pool here for the first time ! i come back beat you guys ...haha ...like i play 30 mins can improve meh ... ]

yeah, and we proceeded to Karaoke. Its quite awful for me lah, i don't know how to sing at all, so i just sat there and laugh with them lah, it was great fun. I left them at about 5.20, then i caught a Blue Cat (its a free bus that goes around the city area to the busport. )that came 2 mins earlier then expected ! Great ! thinking about the long bus ride, i alighted nearer to the busport and walked there instead of having the bus to bring me 1 big round around the swan river... I then went to look for my bus 940 back to Winthrop and Viola ! it was waiting for me ! hahah ! i ran for it like i never did before. haha ...Lucky the Blue Cat came earlier, and lucky i alighted earlier and walked there, otherwise i would have to wait about 30 mins or 45 mins more for the next bus... yeah ! and there i go, Going back to Murdoch and home.....

That the day ! so fun ! haha ~ i'm will be meeting them at the university Library with them later to study, i hope. haha ! Thanks Connie, Pat, Erin and Sherissa ..! thanks for the fun and laughter today !
haha ~

To Conclude, wahaha ! i look like a professional !~ Hey ! that yellow ball really went in okay , by me ! hahahaha ~ yup !

Take care people !
AhBoon, Jonathan

Mid-Term 3

2005-08-19T19:10:00.000+08:00

Haha !

Okay ! it's the end of another week, and it's a special week. It's the end of 5 weeks of term 3, which is half of another term ! ( the last one anyway ! haha ~ ) this means that i have 5 more weeks in school, then go ahead for my mock exams ( prelim ) and then the actual exams already. Have you ever wondered why this year pass so quickly ? yup ~ haha ! wahahahahaha !

Yup ! i received my Mid term report card already, ( guys, it's posted on the internet ! not like those old fashion type of report card you get from your teachers with red markings .... )yeah, quite cool lah, the way they use technology in this laid back area of the world. I think i did fairly good lah, just okay loh, although i expect myself to be much better now, but it's okay, i'm still a bit higher than the year's average for all my subjects. :)

yeah, why you guys in Singapore sound so sian one nowadays.Post comment leh, and tag beside here ! please lah, my blog not THAT boring right .... haha ..Yvonne, you take care. Cheer up lah ! I'm sure JunYang will be so glad to have a fan like you all the while. Stop crying ! :) Cheer up !
There's this final Applicable Maths seminar tomorrow that i will have to attend, and then i may go out to buy a birthday gift, for myself too ...haha ~ yeah ! hahahaha ~

Yup, nothing much to blog today, except on 2 seperate occassion today, people pangseh me ( means break their promise of going out with me or something liddat ). You people next time say properly can just stick to the plan ?! it's not very nice to always change plan you know. if you don't want to go with me, tell me earlier lah, i'm fine with it. Don't have to purposely find reason to push me aside. Once or twice nevermind, but some people just ALWAYS do that to me, it just makes me disappointed and i have given up trust and hope in you. Yes, you know who you are. Sometimes i just wonder whether this is friendship that i'm looking for. You are also quite selfish you know. i always accompany you to do whatever you want, and i always help you. What do i get in return ? it's not like i really want you to repay me or something liddat, but it's like, i still have to get the cold shoulder from you at most times. Yes, i hope you are reading this. I really do. i don't wish to end our friendship like this, but do respect me and my feelings.

I'm watching Charmed now, you know the magical and witch show ? "Everything is has changed, except that they are still as sexy and lovely"( according to the advertisement ) haha ! so cool ! :) Take care people !

i'll blog soon ! :)

Chemistry Test

2005-08-17T21:20:00.000+08:00

I'm traumatized,
I’m in shock,
I’m in confusion,
I’m looking for happiness,
all in a day.
Please.
Give me hope.

I'm traumatized,
for i walked into the classroom to have my chemistry test, still unsure of what is expected of me.
Yup, it was still ok, until the short answers part. I was like, oh great, i know that, i know that. and when i mean " i know that ", i meant that i know where to find the answer for that. not that i remember the answer. Yup. I'm sure there are times when you guys enter the examination hall, flip over the first page and glance through, and go, " I know that i had a chance to learn that, and i have seen the answer before " but when you have to attempt the question, there goes, blank. Squeezing your brain juice to come out with something logical and sensible to write down, thats life.I was traumatized. The test was hard. Really hard, at least for most questions.
I’m in shock,
I came out of the test room, trying to cheer up with a couple of question i thought i was right. But right after i met up with my friends, damn ! * heads bangs on wall * and screams through the whole college on this rainy winter afternoon. Wrong Wrong Wrong, at least, their answers sounds more RIGHT then mine. ( not that mine is written using my left hand though ..)
I’m in confusion,
I have no idea what i want to do in life. I'm looking into more choices, listening to my parents. But i seriously have to think what i can cope with in my life. I don't want to do 4 years of things that is good for me, but i have totally no interest in, and no idea of. Yup. I shall spend more time and look into what i want to do in life, becuase i have come to a point where decision making is SO great. - What i plan to do for the rest of my life.
I’m looking for happiness,
I went to the university library with a couple of my friends to 'study', at least i did try to, but at least i'm much happier and cheer-ed up now.Had Asian Food, actually, bought them and went to the university cafe, sat in their cafe,open the box, and start eating ...haha, at least 2 of them had something FROM the Cafe. Photos taken will be uploaded soon.
all in a day.
Today is a long day. Had ELACS excursion to Museum and Art Gallery. So fun and eye-opening. It's really for international students i guess. At least, i went there as an International student this time, not as a tourist. I'm learning something for my course. I hope. then rushed back for chemistry test after school, then went to library. So cold and rainy outside now. It has been rainy like the whole day already ! and it's still raining. Winter is supposed to end like end of this month, and it's still cold. WTH. Can't just take pity on me ? it's cold !
Please.
Please god, give me the knowledge, power, will, determination and foresight to handle things in my life. Friends and family, thanks a lot for your support these years. I love you dad and mom, and sisters. I will definitely listen to you guys for sure. You guys never make a wrong decision for me.
Give me hope.
Hope is the only word i can look forward to now....

Argh !
AhBoon, Jonathan

However ! we also learn that, haha , cannot stop but laugh, that those punk people in those streets, with a tongue stud, ( like a ring pierced through the tongue ), and if they are that bad lucky to have metal braces too, it's such a dangerous situation. When they drink Coke, or lemon juice or something, haha ! good luck ! a ball of electricity in your mouth.haha ! just image that ! hahaha ! High Voltage Battery in your mouth becuase electrons are moving...haha ~

Oh great, okay, i just went out because Pat, Connie and Sherissa called me when they are outside my house in the winter coldness. It's like they call me and request that i step out right now to accompany them go have dinner. But i can't ! haha !~ to type this. haha ~ no lah, i am watch Big Brother Grand Finale too. yup ! its that important ! and i have to study Chemistry later too for the test on wednesday after school, becuase i will not be able to study tomorrow.

First Entry...

2005-08-13T20:10:00.000+08:00

Hey People.

Most probably you guys must be wondering why am i changing blogs so often. It's basically because the Friendster blog does not keep any archive, so i decided to set this blog up so that i will be able to read what happened to me in the past, so remind how stupid i was. Yup.

This is the first entry, and that is me.
If you have something to say, just leave a message at the tag board on the right ( its this -> direction,if you have problems telling which is the right side. )

Yup, i believe in a simple blogskin like mine is great because it's simple and nice ( ahem, actually i don't know how to mess with the html stuff at blogskin.com, spent like 2 days trying to figure out but it's either the font size too small or the colours are not matching ..) Yup. What makes a blog special is what the blogger has to say anyway, its not like you visit my blog everyday to see whether i change my blogskin already. hahahaha ...yup.

And i will try to update this as often as possible. At least 2 or 3 days, unless i'm that busy with work. Yup. Perth is fun ! ( i hope ....) and i would want to look back at this entry and smile silly-ly and say " Oh dear, i was that pathetic " yup. It sucks being here. but i will survive ( Starts humming the " Suvivor " song by destiny child....) haha ...

Lastly, i this blog is dedicated to all my friends and family out there supporting me. My sister loves my blog. she's addicted to blogging reading after mine ..haha ~ and i really do hope " my english will improve through blogging " ( like how a small kid would answer his teacher ) yup ! Thanks people for viewing this blog. and make sure you view it often when you are free.

Friends, if you want me to put a link to your blog. Please tell me, and your blog website. Yup. and please link me up to your blog too !

Please remember to leave your footprints on the tagboard. thanks !

Cheers,
Ahboon, Jonathan
