Story Teller

The weather here is getting hot, marking 25 degrees. It's time for me take shower twice a day again. I had not felt this burning sensation for a long time.

Anyway, a friend of mine told me this story recently. Here goes, but I don't think I can remember the details very well...

A young lady was waiting to board her flight in the boarding room in a huge airport. As she needed to wait for a long time, she decided to buy a book to ease her boredom. She also bought a packet of cookies.

She sat down on an armchair in a VIP room of the airport, to rest and read. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down next to her and began to read his magazine.

When she took one cookie, the man took one too. She felt irritated and she thought "What a nerve! If I was in the mood, I would punch him for daring!". For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene.

Finally, there is one cookie left and the lady thought "Ah...What will this abusive man do now?". The man takes the last cookie, divided it into half and giving her one of the half.

Her anger now was at boiling point till she took her belongings and stormed to the boarding place. Upon seating on her seat in her plane, the lady took out her handbag to look for her eyeglasses.

To her surprise, a packet of cookie lay there, untouched, unopened. She realize she was wrong and felt so ashamed of herself. She kept forgotten that she put her cookies in her handbag.

The man had divided her cookies with her without feeling angered or bitter. On the other hand, she had been very angry thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. And now, there was no chance for her to apologize or explain to him...

How many times in our lives,
have we absolutely known
that something was a certain way,
only to discover later that
what we believed to be true ... was not?

Back

Sorry for my long absence for the past week. The internet connection was down as we overused it again. For the first time, the upload rather than the download usage were exceeded.

Nothing much happened for the past week except that I've done almost all of my assessments for this semester. There will be one though tomorrow, BCB (Buyer Consumer Behavior) Test.

Take a look at my table when assignments were on


Some food for the past week
Fish and Chips (Fish Fingers and Frozen Fries)


Egg + Lettuce + Chicken + Rice = Satisfying hunger


Once again, I'm the only male student for DSM (Derivatives and Securities Markets) class for the past consecutive 3 weeks. Feels a little alienated.

Exam will be in 20 days time. Hopefully, I'll pass this semester without any failures. Many people said I've got thinner. Is it true? Let me know if you see me face to face in Malaysia.

Found this interesting in soompi forum.

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH:
Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-
but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read .

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you
would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..If you haven't, add 1758.

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number.
The first digit of this was your original number.

(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK,
SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Week 11

First of all, I would like to wish my mother Happy 50th Birthday. This is the first time I'm not celebrating this occasion with my family. FP Presentation on Thursday, BCB Assignment 2 on Friday, ICBM Assignment on next Monday, BCB Test on next Wednesday..Daaaaammm

Found out that Timon and Pumba does exist. In case you guys don't what is Timon and Pumba, they are part of disney characters in Lion King.

Yiruma - River Flows In You

While surfing soompi forum, found Yiruma singing River Flows In You.

Worst

Had the worst presentation today...

Nuff said.

Weird

The song of SNSD's - Into The New World echoes around the room silently. The sound came from my Sony Ericsson c902 phone. I picked it up and saw her name and her mobile phone number as well. I was surprised as I've never asked for her number before. The time shown at my mobile was was 7 in the morning and she does not wakes up this early. I picked it up and we chatted like we've known each other for ages. I asked her out before finally hanging up on the conversation.

As I was preparing for the date in the bathroom, I heard some noise in the hallway and decided to leave it unattended as it might come from one my housemate. Unexpectedly, a sharp object was thrust into my left ribs. Within a few seconds, I became unconscious. I opened my eyes and saw a familiar view of my current bedroom. I placed my hand to my left ribs and everything was fine, realizing it was just a dream....

LOL

Find this funny

5/10/2009

The mark of mid semester break officially ends for me on Wednesday 9.00a.m. with DSM test. Heck, I'm not even prepared or could say even started with anything yet. I told myself to type at least 400 words, study topic 1 to 4 for DSM test and complete BCB assignment but none of the above was achieved. Basically, I don't really know what I've been doing for the past week. Checked my UniSA email and found out that FP Peer Review and DSM assignment manage to get C. No surprises for me as I'm already expecting the result after competing both of them. However, the second batch of assignments will definitely give me a headache. Also, a small feeling fear for the final exam is deep within me now. Speaking of that, I'm having 2 papers on the same day!!!! How bad is that, not giving me a break. A race against time will commence on 16th, 23rd and 24th with them all ending at 9.30p.m. So, I have to catch the 11.13 train back home.

And, and, and I wanted to shop for 2 t-shirts but, but, but all I do is spend, spend, spend most of my time sleeping for the past days. Never mind, I shall shop when I'm back in Malaysia. Not only just shop but also eat all the way till I'm, fat before returning here again next year. Starting to practice my guitar and yesterday was the first time touching my guitar after coming back from Melbourne. Felt my fingers numbed and shall be concentrating on 3 pieces - Canon in D, Kiss the Rain and River Flows in You.

Not forget to mention I'm into SNSD now



Changed my desktop background too


Okay, I've got FP group meeting later at 1.00p.m. later in the university's library and I'm gonna cook my lunch now.

MoonCake Festival

I don't really remember much about how I used to celebrate the moon cake festival but I'll definitely remember this year's one. What's more, it's been ages since I last tasted moon cake because I don't fancy them until yesterday night out. I was invited by Suzanne Siah to Elder Park at 5.00pm with her friend. Little did I know, her friend were another 4 girls!!! They were all from University of Adelaide I guess and thus, my network of friends grew larger. Another that surprises me is that an architecture student needs to study for 6 years having and no final exams!!! Imagine studying applied finance for 6 years (12 semesters) and now I'm already struggling in my 4th semester.

Kids performance



The day began to dark


Huge panda lantern

The event ended with fireworks performance


Quite beautiful


Thanks to Suzanne's friend for this moon cake that was shared between 6 people (Sorry I'm bad in remembering names in first time meeting)


Gather round to eat the moon cake


Leaving Elder's Park


Okay, I've been out everyday since coming back from Melbourne because it seems that I can't sit in the house the whole day!!!
