Hello peeps, haha haven't been updating again. Oh well, since so much have been happening to me recently thus i decided to update a little.
Well, studies have been so far so good. Gotten back my first sem's results and it's considerably good to me. Never gotten such results in my previous school b4 so it's a great achievement for me so far. This Semester is a killer for me though. I'm taking 4 modules for the summer session. 2 modules (MICE & Entrepreneurship) may seemed a little foreign to me whereas the other 2 (Biz Law & Comtemporary Workplace Relations) seems to be killer subjects for me. But i'll try to do my best to study hard.
As for my work, it has been quite stressful to me b'coz i have to meet my bosses' expectations. Been 2 years with the company already, they expect me to be able to contribute more in terms of quantity. I have been giving my best shot already. Hopefully everything goes well.
13 Dec 2008 have marked the biggeest change in my life coz my bf has officially proposed to me. Felt very happy and shocked actually coz didn't think that he was gonna do it on that day. Haha.. So 20 Sep 2009 is a confirmed ROM date. Well, gotta start planning in 2009. Not able to book venue now as they only allow bookings 6 months in advance. Well, am quite excited abt it.
Argh! I was on cloud nine then one week later bad news came along... I had a terrible toothache that force me to go to the dentist. Worse i was told that I gotta remove 8 teeth (4 wisdom tooth and 4 molars) under General Anaethesia meaning i'll be put to sleep while they operate on me. It shock me so badly that i cried in front of the dentist (such a crybaby right?). Well, no choice ar better remove now if not next time will get more complications then that will be worse. Oh well, so schedule my operation on the 12 Dec 2008 so that after that i can enjoy the festive session and goodies. However, i've disappointed my dear coz we gotta forego Andy Lau's Concert on the 13 Dec 2008. Despite dear tells me that health is more important however i could sense the disappointment in him. I'm very sorry dear but i really don't wanna delay it any further and 12 Dec is the earliest date to get my doctor to operate on me.
Time passed and as the date gets closer to 12 Dec 2008 i become more worried. Why? Coz of all the hearsay from other ppl (through forum, friends and colleagues). All told me painful leh, 8 leh so much.. Some suggested removing one tooth at the time. Well to me, i rather pain one time, spend money one time than to pain 8 times and waste money 8 times (That's what Dr Wu suggested too).
On that fateful day, I was damn nervous even the nurse who was measuring my blood told me so. She said my heart is beating so fast. So as i was seated with anxiety waiting for my turn, i decided to pray to God for courage to keep me calm and at that instance i felt his presence and sudden calmness in me. I felt like crying again, it's like feeling god's love and assurance all over again. Then i was told it's my turn.
Well the operating theatre is not at all that scary. In fact, it was very neat and pleasant looking. As i laid down while waiting to be injected with the GA drug, the GA doctor came in as ask me how are you feeling? I told him that i was very nervous. He was doing something to my hand and my last sentence to him was, "Doc, have you injected yet?" Then i didn't even knw when i was knock out. I was dreaming throughout the process, not dreaming abt anything nice. I was dreaming abt solving an sms case for my customer then i heard someone calling for me. Next moment, wake up with my face so numb and swelling, throat was a little sore. That's when i saw the nurses and they told me to cough out and told me i got a lot of phglem in me. Then i asked them over already ar?? They say over already. I was puzzled as i felt i was dreaming. I don't have any symptoms that my fren told me like feeling neaseous, feeling very painful once drug wear off. I felt minimal pain so took one painkiller before i discharge. I am currently on hospitalisation leave while penning this entry, recovering one day at a time. So far so good, no pain or discomfort except from mild swell on my bottom cheeks. I'll be going for my review this Thurs, hopefully my wound have healed completely. To ppl out there, remember to brush, floss and gurgle with mouthwash to protect your teeth and gums.
Since Christmas and the New Year is coming, let me take the opportunity to wish ya Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009! May all goes well for you in 2009! Enjoy the last bits of 2008 with joy, peace and lotsa God's Love.

Gosh Times flies past so fast and now we are in the last quarter of 2008. Wah my last post was in July... Here are some updates to what happen since July.
Well, in my last post I’ve mentioned that my class started on 21 July 2008. It was still quite ok and I manage to hit off with a few classmates of mine. Except for one who's kinda arrogant and thinks that he/she is very smart. I mean if ya think ya smart, just shut-dup and keep quiet do your stuff... Be humble and respect the lecturers... Do you think the lecturers also wanna stay up till so late giving a bunch of sleepy student lectures at night?? Come on lah, they are humans too, they also wanna rest early?? Yet they are being professional enough to try to finish whatever that they need to cover for the module in time for our exams... so don't just yawn loudly to hint the lecturers that it's time for you to go home... Ok, I’ve speak enough of this snob...
I gotta say I really salute all those ppl who handle full-time job and taking part-time studies, especially those that have to handle 4 modules (heaps of assignments, test, and exams) plus work per sem. For me 2 modules is already a bit too texting. I'm still wondering how am I to struggle with maybe 4 modules next sem??
Nothing much happened in August though. September was filled with mini surprises from my uni frens who celebrated my b'day. I can still remember the incident whereby my frens told the restaurant staff just to bring the cake to the table. But they added a b'day song service and played it so loud that the whole entire restaurant knew it was my b'day. I was stunned by their action then my frens started burst out laughing and we laugh like mad. Thank goodness, it was not a Chinese restaurant if not I can't imagine having the Cantonese b'day song going on... But I seriously enjoyed myself and am thankful for all the blessings and prezzies I got from all my frens and relatives. Also, how could I forget abt the wonderful night stay at Conrad Hotel my other half had planned for me. He wanted to add a spa package for me however I said it's too expensive so we went for a sumptuous dinner @ Kuishinbo. Actually I was hoping not to meet anyone familiar at the hotel coz it'll be so embarrassing. Yet I met a former colleague from Marriott working there as a restaurant manager I think. The world is indeed very small.
It was end Sep, work and school stress came peaking up as I was trying to meet assignments dateline. I guess Oct and Nov I’ll be working my butts off as exams are like a month away... My last paper is on our anniversary date, sianz...
I was hoping that after our hectic schedule and exams, Ant & I will be able to start planning for next year's stuff like start looking for housing and sourcing venues for ROM... Yeah I knw... Ppl who have known me would have heard me saying planning, planning, next yr and next yr many a times... I also say until I was sianz already and have decided to put all this aside coz nothing seems firm yet... Then suddenly Ant says this coming end Oct he'll try to clear leave and we'll start sourcing for housing @HDB... I was stunned for a moment coz I was so prepared to put everything aside... But dunno lah ppl are fickle-minded so if we source for housing then good lor... if not then wait lor... will keep ya readers (I hope I have readers) updated lah..
Mich signing off =)

Hello ppl, just a short post to tell ya how happy i am. Firstly, I got my 2nd compliment letter from customer. Yay!! Secondly, my class starts 21 Jul 2008 officially. Lastly, I'll be working M900 shifts starting from 21 July 2008 too. Apparently my application with Murdoch Uni is still pending some investigation. Thus in the midst of waiting I have applied for and got acceptance from Southern Cross Uni, Austalia (still waiting for official letter via mail but got the confirmation from the Program Consultant from MDIS). Even though the uni's ranking that i'm gonna study in ain't that fantastic but i felt that I'm gonna learn something new and get my degree. This time round i gotta work doubly hard to get my degree. Looking at my time-table there's a lot of projects and exams. Staring to feel kinda stress now. Pray for me ppl! I'll continue to jiayou! Till then, Ciaoz!

1 Litre Tears
Nope, I didn't cry 1 Litre Tears. I'm talking about a drama based on a true life story of a girl, a fine matured lady who suffered from an incurable disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia at the young age of 15. This disease a genetic disorder which slowly causes the patient to be unable to coordinate their body movement and is often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements.
Even when suffering from this disease, Aya-san still keep her fighting spirit ongoing. She kept apologising because she thought she kept troubling ppl to assist with her movement due to her disease. She said that she wanted to help others when she grow up and is upset that she can't be helpful to the society coz of her disability. Later then she know that her self-penned phrases encouraged and have helped many other patients suffering from the same disease to Live on. She died at the age of 25 years old.
After watching the drama and knowing of her story, I was thinking to myself who am i compared to her? I can walk, talk, see properly yet sometimes i wish i didn't exist in this world. So selfish of me right? From now on, I'll honour Aya-san as my life example and will follow suit to what she has said to her boyfriend (in the drama and not real boyfriend), Asou-kun before she died, "Live on, Live on forever". I'll keep my fighting spirit ongoing despite there will be times i will feel frustrated abt the things that are not going my way. I'll Gambatte and Live on.
Thank you Aya-san.
Enjoy the sound tracks from the drama "1 Litre Tears".

Met up with my SIM friends for dinner last wed, 25 June, to catch up with them as I've withdraw from the SIM course. It was great however i felt very sad as they were a supportive bunch of ppl. Special thanks to the following ppl (Anna. Ashley, Natalie & Edmund) for always been there to encourage me and constantly checking if i was ok with my studies.
We ended the gathering with a game of "truth or dare" or shld i say "truth or truth" coz we din play the "dare" part. We tried to get the juiciest stuff out of each other. Well, I'm not telling what happen but i really enjoyed myself.
After the outing i felt very upset actually coz it's like the last time I'm gonna see them and that i'm not gonna graduate with them. And also coz i gotta go to a new place and start afresh, meeting new ppl etc. I kinda felt lost but I'm sure I'll do fine.
Everything went smoothly until Friday evening came and i was told i gotta take my marketing bridging modules so last minute and that the class was cancelled on Friday evening. I went home and checked no email nothing from the consultant. Check the schedule and saw that I'll have full day classes for Sat & Sun also. In the end, i didn't attend the classes at all and i was not prepared for it. It was all too last minute and it jeopardise my work quite a bit.
Then weekend came and we have a post b'day celebration for my cousin, Jonah on Sat. It was fun, i contributed by making chocolate fondue. It was nice but the kids ended up eating all the marshmallows instead of the fruits that I've prepared.
And now here i am feeling very lost about my new course that starts in Sep as I've missed my marketing bridging module. However i have applied for credit transfer from my previous uni as I've done marketing principles before. I'm praying for a miracle to happen so that I'll be able to take my new course in time. Still crossing my fingers though. Lord, pls grant me a miracle to happen.

Decided to change my blogskin and start afresh.
Many many things happened for these past few mths. I would just like to highlight a few major changes in my life...
1) I have decided to change my course to Degree with double majors in Tourism & Hospitality Mgmt and Marketing Mgmt from Murdoch University.This is a major, huge and tough decision i've made in my life. And hopefully i could continue to preservere, work hard and get my degree faster. Many of my friends have stress that Murdoch Uni is very strict, in terms of plagarism, writing styles, modules are very difficult.
There are the many many things that i'm very weak at so i really have to work very hard to improve on especially my writing skills and analytic skills. Most imptly, i have to be extremely hardworking. I gotta sacrifice part of my weekends for lectures but i'm sure i'll be able to do it. Just bear with it for the next 16mths and i'll get my degree. Wohoo!! What i need most are the support from my family & friends.
2) Due to change in my course, i gotta change my working schedule to manage my study time better.That means i'll be working in the morning shifts already. What i gonna miss are my part-time colleagues who work in the evenings. I'm thankful that my OM, TMs are very supportive and is doing their best to make this exceptional changes for me.
I believe God has a purpose for me to make this change in my life (Point 1) and he's making miracles (Point 2) for me to make it (Point 1) happen. They always say "When god closes a door, he opens another window for you." And i thank god for all the arrangements which he has made. With this i would like to say, "Thank you Lord" which reminds me of a song by Don Moen, "Thank you Lord".I'll try my best to update my blog as much as possible. Adios ppl!
