New Look

It's been almost 8 years since I left Wollongong for good, the place I still can call home .. upon updating my FB today, I came across UOW Alumni Page and saw this beautiful building .. it's now part of my uni ..

This is the new library. Nice!! The old library was old and dark and now look at those windows ..


The 2nd new building is the Health and Medical Reseach Institute (it was used to be called Health and Behavioural Department) located just opposite the Recretional Centre, which it was already one of the most spanky building on campus, and now look how it turns out .. WOW!!


Seriously, I will be having trouble reminiscing my moments with such a short period of time. I miss you W'Gong ..

In one month time

- photo courtesy of Elly (I want one of this) -

16 November 2009 -- in exactly one month time I'll be flying to HK and Sydney for my Christmas and New Year's holiday. Well, it isn't really a holiday, it's more of a family trip, my cousin's wedding. It's gonna be fun though with limited time.

Just got off the news that my Aussie visa is approved .. phewww!! I was worried 'cos Aussie visa is difficult to be issued. Yay, I'm all set!! :D

It's gonna be quite a long trip of almost 3 weeks covering about 4 countries .. HK, China, Macau and Australia. I'm so gonna be dead broke when I come home. Disneyland HK is definitely a must, specially I'm going over Christmas holiday, so there's gonna be lots of cute stuffs to get.

Now I can only hope for big fat bonus for the new year.

Time for Miracles

Time for Miracles by Adam Lambert the runner up of 8th Season American Idol is the theme song for the movie 2012. Very nice song indeed .. the movie was alright though, it was scary at the beginning specially if you imagine the reality, but towards the end it got boring and too Hollywood.

It's late at night and I can't sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can't breathe thinking of your smile

Every kiss I can't forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

I just wanna be with you
Cuz living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes

The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

Baby can you feel it (feel it)
http://www.elyricsworld.com/time_for_miracles_lyrics_adam_lambert.html
You know I can hear it (hear it)
So can you feel me feel you....

You know it's time....

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
Cuz I ain't giving up on love

You know I ain't giving up on us
You know I ain't giving up on
Oh I ain't giving up on us

Shattered Glass

This was taken at the busway station that I wait everyday. I saw this shattered glass about a week ago, which later I found out that there was a shooting at 3 busway stations ... scary! Though it happened like dusk .. but still .. scary.

Motive: unknown.

Inspiration

This following blog post is from Tay Kewei , who has been one of Lee Hom's back-up singers for the Music-Man tour .. this is what she wrote about leehom -- what an inspiration

LEEHOM

what i've learnt from this dude,
is that despite being on TOP of his game,
being such a mega superstar that he is,
despite landing endless commercials and gigs,
he works hard.

there is nothing very mysterious about success,
especially when i get this close to leehom.

true, his good looks, luck, talent all played a part, 天时地利人和blah blah blah,
but if you can stick through it,
re-invent yourself and remain an artiste for more than 10 years and still be as big,
it all boils down to hard work.

so we've all heard the statistic, he's been to 29 cities within 40 days,
endless 商业演出, he's swimming in piles of money,
but he ain't partying.

after his ION gig in Singapore, we hung out till late,
and the next morning he flew back to Taipei immediately for a huge open-air show to about 60000 people at night.

and there i was lounging in my house the whole day,
and I watched the Taiwan news on TV in amazement:
Wow, he's sporting exactly the same hair, and wasn't he just here with me less than a day ago?

How can someone so effectively maximise his time spent everyday?

And he'll be directing his own movie very soon, and starring in it as well -
it's a personal project that he made come true,
something totally different than what he's used to (making albums)
and definitely taxing,
but it will bring his career to a whole new level.


this is kewei's own words of success ...

Have you ever wondered,
everyone's partying, having supper, watching the movies, having a good time.
Everyone's trying to schedule their time to meet friends, packing their social calendar to the brim,
I had a wild thought that I don't want to be like everyone.

I want to succeed.

Not many people succeed, the ones who do,
are not like everyone else.

The ones who succeed are different from everyone else,
they subscribe to a different lifestyle,
they work extra hard.

Being successful is just a place not many people get to -
it filters the hard worker from the insanely hard working ones.

Like so many other people, for many different reasons,
he's gonna be my role model for now.

I won't be able to reach where he is now, but if I can get close,
it would be darn remarkable.

* Personal note: this is the main reason why I love and adore him so much. No doubt he has a very nice looking, but despite all the outside appearance, he is always this hardworking, talented, humble and kind person. What an inspiration indeed .. I'm honoured to have meet him personally and honoured to be his fan.

Googling Sesame ..

Happy Googling ... :)

Early Christmas

Christmas is my fave holiday ever .. but I've never owned a Christmas theme doll, not even a Santa Claus.

Every year Starbucks releases it's 'Bearista" Christmas doll and I decided to get one pair this year.

So please meet Santa and Sinti (as my good friend Nat named her) aka Mr and Mrs Claus - new members of my sleeping company. Hope this year Christmas will be extra special .. I'm pretty sure it will ;)

Lee Hom's Shrine

My Lee Hom's Shrine finally UP .. these treasures of mine have been all over the place, I'm really lack of storing places in my room. I need more space ..

40th Anniversary Sesame Street

Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th Anniversary today ... Google teamed up with Sesame Street on making the Google doodle theme. Like this for example ..

I don't particular grew up with Sesame Street 'cos I don't like it the fact that it was dubbed into Bahasa, which is weird. But Sesame Street accompanied me through many mornings back in Australia. My breakfast was always with Big Bird, Elmo, Erni and Bert and many other characters through Austar in my living room back in Kooloobong.

No doubt I forever will have a little kid inside of me :D

So Happy Anniversary Sesame Street .. and the words are out .. Michelle Obama will be guest in the 41st season. Sweet!! :D

Elmo lover or not must watch this .. this clip was taken during Elmo's first visit in Australia - Rove Live in 2006. So cute!! :D

Christmas Time is Near

Starbucks has started their Christmas drinks - Dark Cherry Mocha and Toffee Nut yesterday. I had my first Toffee Nut yesterday and accompanied me throughout the afternoon while I dealt with files audit. Hmmm .. yummo!! Time flew .. it's Christmas Time again ..

While at it .. it means Thanksgiving is even closer. Let's start out giving thanks for everything we have achieved this year.

A good quote found while browsing for something ..

REMEMBER what's important in life ..

is free time, peace of mind, sense of accomplishment, family and generosity.

Astro Boy coming to 21 today

Yay, series of my movie lists are coming .. starting with Astro Boy and will be followed my Twilight Saga - New Moon on 20 November and hopefully many more!

Lee Hom in Brand's Chicken Ad

History

I just came to love this MJ's song - History, a very nice and meaningful song. I'm not too sure it's the original MV but it says it is ..

So yeah people .. create your own history everyday :D

He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes

How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there be
Before we choose to live the prophet's plan
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Don't let no one get you down
Keep movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history

How many people have to cry
The song of pain and grief across the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing hand
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony

All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world

How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
Before we learn to live as brothers
And leave one family oh...

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
