Things to ponder ...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved and the rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trustand only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your lifebut who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people, it's what they do about it.
I've learned that no matter how thin you slide it, there are always two sides.
I've learned that you should always have loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you'll see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done, when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance. And the same goes for true love.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves go farther in life.
I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give,when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I've learned that writing, as well as talking,can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to loveand be loved.I've learned... "I've learned"

Busy... (n VEXED!!)

Hello WORLD!!

It's been long since I last blog about my life in Sydney..

Well, things hasn't change much, term is ending in 2 weeks time and that will mark the start of my first MAJOR EXAM, after a good 5 year!! This is a little scary, but with the assurance from all of the people back at home, I will continue to jiayou and DO WELL for all my papers... =P

There are still 5 more assignments underway (2 grp report, 1 pair poster presentation, 1 protein modelling assignment and 1 self reflection) and it is all due in 2 weeks time!! STRESSED!! But i guess, things will definitely work out, if I plan well enough, plus giving some extra time to do works that some leech odd to do? haha =P

Well, an additional things for now.. I might be shifting out from my current place if the school apartment is available for semester 2.. However, this might mean that I will be stuck in yet another housing problem, as the current lease end in August.. Pray that thing will turn out well and I do not have to loss so much money(~A$900?) ... HAIZ =(

Trip to the Blue Mountain

It's been long since I last given myself a break.. Went for a day trip organised by the school on Sunday (03 May). The day started with us going to the Sydney Olympic Park, Featherdale Wildlife Park then lastly the Blue Mountain..

The group of US...

There was 17 international students, including me, that went for the trip. It was a very diversed group, with people coming from France, Uruguay, Vietnam, China, etc.. They are very nice people to hang out with, more importantly, they are of the same age group.. =P

The scenery enroute to and at Blue Mountain was simply gorgeous and it is definitely a nice place to relax your mind from the busy city lifestyle.. It was definitely value for money and worth the time spend for the trip..

The day ended with a simple meal at The Guff, with 2 other French exchange students..
