Boxes Everywhere

Parents have been busy with packing.

The due date is coming - packers will be coming next monday to pack all our stuff to ship it back to Malaysia.

Right now,

I have to sort out my stuffs yet again to piles.

1. Bring back to Malaysia

2. Keep it in Australia

sigh.

this is so troublesome.

i can't even imagine how my life will be after my parents fly back to malaysia....

currently my family seem to be doing fine and i think it's due to the amount of work we have to do before the packers arrive.

apart from that,

im also anxiously waiting for my end of semester results.

It's actually not out until the 17th of december but

some of marks can be calculated before hand.

I do hope that my marks would real good!

It'd be great if i get HDs for my whole subject...

i never did get it except for 3 of my assesments.

i hope i get it~

thanks again everyone!

your prayers are much appreciated

update

hey all,

thank you to those that had emailed me personally, i really do appreciate your thoughts and support.

Just a little update,
my uncle has managed to get a job in kenya.
(FYI, he used to work in Nigeria)

Thank you all for praying and pls do continue to pray for us.
I'm still a bit worried whether the offer is legit though.
My family is still trying real hard to save money and i do hope things will be better.

My semester has officially ended.
Initially i thought my semester ended earlier but just a few days ago,
i received an email from my integrated communications campaign group that my group was chosen to present to ACP Magazine Coorporation for the Top Gear Magazine Pitch.
The last two days was spent with me busy editing the presentation slides.
Today - at 11.45am, my group presented.
I introduced the group and then went on to clicking the slides.
I've used prezi to present the slides and i'm happy that i did it.
It's different from the usual slides and some ppl think it's really hard to do it so i'm happy.

Now i'm just blogging to update you guys on the current happenings.

I've also managed to get the offer letter for the on-campus accommodation.
Now, i'm just waiting for the room allocation.

yup, so that's all for now.
Please do continue to pray for us and thank you lots!

Wow!

It's been ages since i last blogged.

Okay, to fill you all on what's happening.

1. as usual, a student has loads of assignments so i'm currently busy with my assignments.

it's officially the last week of the semester for me and i still have heaps to do.

most of my friends have one or two more assignments left but i have 5 (i had a final presentation today so i'm left with 5)

what's left?

a. creative pitch for ICC

b. research paper for CTC

c. online quiz for CTC

d. final report for ICC

e. 50% exam for Cont. Issues of Tourism and Events.

2. Directly after my last day of the semester, i would need to start packing my stuff again.

at the end of last month, my family had already started packing but it was just chucking all our things into boxes because of a house inspection that were subjected to.

This time round, it's packing for good. I'd have to take out my belonging out of the boxes and sort it all over again.

I'd have to get rid of stuff, sort it according to things that i'd want to sent back home and also things that i want to keep here.

3. As mentioned earlier, i had a presentation today.

It was a creative pitch for Floriade Nightfest.

I'm happy that i manage to present without reading from my notes and i (we- another girl that i did it with) even got praises from our tutor that we did well.

Our tutor told us and a few other groups (who also did Floriade) that she thinks Zoo Advertising had the Floriade account. Why did our tutor tell us this?

She wants to try contacting them to have our report for the pitch presented to them.

It could mean that we might have the chance to present it to the advertising agency.

So, this is the good news for today and i was just so excited.

4. when i got home, i smell something burning and i was told by my brother that it was potatoes.

The atmosphere in the house was just plain weird. Unfortunately, im so excited that i was blind.

(i guess im just plain self-centered) I spoke to my mum and she listened (i didn't even touch on the no. 3 issue yet) but she was not her usual self. I then noticed that she did not look me in the eye/face at all.

She walked away, my brother sending signals that i so do not get what he was trying to say. I tried asking what's wrong but my mum didn't say anything. I just hugged her and she burst into tears.

This scene is usally the other way round. I still wonder what is exactly bothering my mother.

My mum did not say anything, my dad did not say anything and my brother just told me not to ask my parents.

I'm not satisfied from hearing what was the story about from him but i want to hear it from my mother. All I know now is that my family is in a tight spot.

It's shocking and i'm actually clueless to how i should handle this.

I'm here and typing this but my head is telling me that the reality has not sunk in yet.

Due to this, i don't know what or how to feel.

I couldn't open my mouth to even talk about my day.

i can't talk to anyone so this blog is where i come to type my thoughts.

To those who are reading this, could you all do me a favour?

Please pray for my family. Ask God to help, guide and protect my family and I.

Ask God to give us strength mentally and physically to overcome the situation that we are currently in.

Also pray for my uncle too. I think that he would most be affected with this predicament.

Pray that he would turn to God for help and think rationally. My family needs him.

Thank you all in advance and i do appreciate it if you could keep my family and i in your prayers.

I've got to go and continue to work even harder.

see you all soon.

8-9 times the sirens ring

yup, those are the sirens of ambulans

and that is from the time of 9am - 11.50pm

this is how busy the city of Sydney is.....

Nara Candle Festival

It's such a shame though.

I couldn't stay longer for the official candle lighting ceremony.

i really did enjoy myself even though the whole time it was only me and my mum.

I just don't know why but i was feeling really happy.

it's just that today,

when i hear people speaking japanese (there were a number of highschool students from Nara highschool, a school from Japan), The presentations (singing) were in japanese and even the food were Japanese and i just felt so happy.

I ate Mochi, Takoyaki, Fried Udon(i forgot the name of the dish),

I saw how Mochi was made,

I saw kendo today,

I wrote my own name in japanese,

I wrote my wish and tied it onto the wishing tree,

these things, i have not thought of ever having the chance to see it.

haha

well i did see Kendo before but that was on tv,

it's so different than when we watch it with our own eyes.

Overall, i'm real glad that i'm able to experience such things.

here are some pictures i took today,

too bad that i only got a 16mb memory card to take pictures with so i had limited numbers of pictures taken.

Anyway, enjoy looking at the pictures~

-Mochi-

-Takoyaki-

- the singer from the band had such a lovely voice. It's soothing to hear but i dare say that his voice sound much younger than how he looked. hehehe XP-

- japanese caligraphy

left:mine, right: the guy who taught me -

presentation....

Yup, i had my presentation today and i had to dress up as a guy- working guy.

i had to change my voice too and when i did that,

the class practically laughed.

half way through my speech, i broke out into laughter.

I wish i hadn't though sigh.

It's just that i can't stand/ resist myself from laughing when i see others laughing

and it's the same as crying...

sigh.

i had made a fool out of myself.

why does it have to be someone laughing at my presentation every time i do so?

anyway here are the pictures of me in my outfit today.

I even got ppl looking at me... (or i should say, look at me and whisper among their friends)

i don't know if it was good or bad that i wore this outfit the whole day.

anyway, the reason to why i'm posting about this is to let my dear friend,

Jamie, know that i finally used the tie i bought!!!!

hehehehe

Jamie do you even remember the tie??

It was the first time we ever went out and i bought the tie with you along with Jun, Eza and Ching...

hehehe

i can't remember the name of the shop though since it's been so long ago (and it's now that i finally wore it hahaha)

okay, so the outfit today is:

- black pants

- black shoes

- white long sleeve top

- black tie

- brown vest

Oh and during the presentation, i had my hair tied up btw.

and about the 2 pictures above, i chose the pictures that had my face not look so round.

hehehe

XP

Friends.........

means no matter how far apart we are,

no matter how many years we could not meet,

it's a life long treasure.

Cherish and never ever forget it.

Goodbye my long hair...

hello, my short frizzy/wavy hair...

*pouts*

I miss my long hair already...

(BEFORE)

(AFTER)

the wavy-ness of my hair can't really be seen in this picture though..

hahaha

after i washed my hair, this hairstyle kinda reminded me of

Yoona from SNSD/ Girls Generation during her Korean Genie/ Tell Me Your Wish MV days.

hahaha

Not the one where she wore the white uniform but the one in normal clothes...

I think that was around the time she filmed for Cinderella Man as well..

I'll go hunt for some of her photos ...

As if i got a similar hairstyle right?

hahaha

I have a fringe but hers are the full length.

okies...

got to go..

XP

hehehehe

update~

Hello again fellow readers,

It's the middle of the night right now and i just have the feeling of blogging and so here i am right now.

okay, regarding the assessment i mentioned in the last post,

i had done my part in compiling and editing it.

What's left of it is to prepare my speech/presentation for monday and of course the submitting

on Sunday. I still have not heard back from my group members so i have to wait for them before i can manage to submit it.

i still got loads of assignments that are due soon but i don't know why, i just feel so tired.

It's like i'm all worn out and tired.

I don't have the mood to tackle my assessments like how i did for my report.

It just died out.

I notice that i've been digging my harddrive for unwatched movies and i've so far watched

3 movies and 1 jdrama. that is within 5 days.

how bad is that?

The Jdrama, i didn't mind watching it as that time, i really do need a break from my report so i watched it at night.

For the 3 movies,i should have refrained myself from watching it.

I had also downloaded mangas to read as well.

So right now, I really have to buck up and start doing my work again.

It's hard but what can i do?

i'm sure that i wont be the only one struggling.

every student sure have their own distractions in their own forms.

I do miss high school.

Can't believe that i used to hate it.

haha

we're humans so that's what we do right?

haha

alright i want to end the post here.

i actually got loads to type but i better stop and get some sleep.

i'll post again soon~

Let's work hard together to overcome our distractions!!!

Your Shimihae Jusaeyo!!
