I think...
I've just lost a friend...

Or maybe, I've already lost her long time ago...

:(

我想回家
真的
很想

Of bruises and abrasions...

Oh well, again, haven't been updating my blog for some time. The hectic schedule, lack of interesting topic to write, and most importantly lack of motivation to blog caused the lack of entries. >.< And finally, I feel like writing something.

Went to Collingwood Children's Farm yesterday with Grad House friends. Initially I was supposed to meet up with some of them at train station, and catch a train there, while N and E were supposed to cycle there. However, yesterday morning, N gave me a call and asked if I'm interested in cycling there, as E couldn't make it. And, I made a bad decision. I decided to join N and cycle there.

I think that's a bad decision because first, I haven't cycle for a long long time. When I mean long, I mean years. Second, I had to cycle in the city with cars driving past me on a very busy road. And yet, i decided to join N for the ride.

Well, straight to the point, I fell. A few times in fact. The last fall was the most serious and most scary one. I suffered from a number of abrasions on my left arm, few abrasions on right arm, bruises everywhere on both legs, and a bruise on my chin. >.< I feel so sorry to N for making him worried about me! And we took 2x longer than it should be to reach our destination, as I had to ride so slow.. and N had to ride slow because of me too...

We reached the destination alright, and met up with the rest. Breakfast at the cafe was great. Shared the "Farmer's breakfast" with WH. The little farm was good. Goats, sheep, cows, horses.. It was good shopping trip for some of us too, as there was a farmer's market on that day. Cooling weather, nice sunshine to give a little bit of warmness, nice blue sky with some white clouds.. The weather was perfect for a day out.

Then the trip back to Grad House. This time, we took the longer route. I think it's about 2 to 3 times longer than the route we took to get to the farm. However, this is a proper cycling track. No cars or anything. It's along Yarra River for the first part of the journey, and it's AWESOME!! I managed to get rid of my nervousness, and had a better control of the bike. Love the journey back! Although some part of uphill cycling was killing, but no more falls along the way! Just a few stops for little break and water. =)

In conclusion, I enjoyed the trip to the farm and the cycling journey! And huge thanks to N for being so patient with me. I hope the next time we cycle together (if there's any chance), I won't embarrass you or make you worry at all.

新年快乐~！

今天已经是年初八了。第二次没在家里过年，感觉空空的。人在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲，这段诗形容得特别贴切。 在外孤单一人，感觉蛮寂寞的。

有assignments要做，但总提不起劲。这还真不是件好事情。没办法，加油吧！

那些事情 我终于看仔细

歌名：显微镜下的爱情
歌手：黄义达
专辑：无法定义

滴答滴 听天空 在哭泣
洗掉了一些梦 埋葬在城市里

滴答滴 听时间 往前去
好象在预报着 未来的连续剧

一封信 一件旧的毛线衣
谁是谁的纪念品 拿什么来回忆

一场雨 狠狠下在眼睛里
爱在生老病死后 已经都没关系

问自己 没有你我行不行
显微镜里看爱情 残酷的放大所有爱的原因

遇见你 之后 爱上你 然后 狠透你
原来 爱是回不去的旅行
亲爱的 让我忘记你 那些事情 我终于看仔细

遇见你 之后 爱上你 然后 狠透你
原来 爱是回不去的旅行
亲爱的 我要忘记你 那些事情 我终于看仔细

遇见你 之后 爱上你 然后 狠透你
原来 爱是回不去的旅行
亲爱的 让我忘记你 那些事情 我终于看仔细

深夜里 捷运站 飘着雨
我看着马路边 另一对我和你

Happy 2010

Happy new year!!

Did not update anything for the last three months of 2009. Too many things happened, too little time to blog.

Anyway, "Be strong and courageous" will be my motto for the year, where courageous means that you do something in spite of the fear you feel. So I plan on being very courageous this year by using that fear. Hope this coming year will be a great one!

Cheers!

Don't remember when was the last time this happened, for two nights in a row, I dreamt of being at home, in Malaysia. Two nights, and each night the dream was so vivid, it felt so real. So real that when I woke up in the morning, finding myself still in my room in Melbourne, I felt confused. And sadness follows.

Haven't had dream about home for so long already. I thought I am already used to being few thousand kilometers away from home. I thought two and a half years of studies overseas already numb my home-sickness. Apparently not. >.<

My ankle's getting better. Can walk normally now. But still can't run. Can't put too much pressure on it too. And I think I lose a bit of its proprioception. Almost fell down the stairs a couple of times. Still can't achieve the full range-of-movement of the right ankle. And it still hurt a little. >.< Just two weeks and a bit after the accident. Four more weeks to go before I can go back to gym for my favourite Body Combat class...

Studies have been stressful. Finally finished placement for this semester, and won't have any placement in acute setting till March/April next year. I enjoyed placement most, and will definitely miss it! But it's good that it has ended for this semester. Another 4 weeks of studies with assignments and research, then final exam. Dreadful, but can't wait for it to end.

Enjoying two weeks of non-teaching period now. One week has passed, and I've done absolutely nothing in terms of studies. Pretty much been relaxing and chilling out. Nice break for me. However, I have to start my work on studies this week. Lots of studying, assignment-ing, and reading. Buck up!!

***************************************************

Going out for a walk soon. Finally there's some sunshine after few days of below-average temperature and rainy weather. Ciao~
