Minasan konichiwa !
That's "Hello Everyone" in Japanese.
Today, I'm going to write about the things I've accomplished this year.
Because if we all don't sit down and do that once in a while,
we'll turn into self-loathing people.
#InflateThatEgo

To my friends back home,
who have yet to begin Uni.
Maybe you can imagine yourself accomplishing all these nonsensical things
when you begin your adventure.
No offence to anyone, of course.
Ohhh wait,
look at the time.
I'm gonna have to dash now.
I've got a play to catch.
Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography.
Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it ?

*One Day Later*
*Several moments of procrastination later*
*Several nude scenes and a bad ending later*

Now where was I ?
Oh yes,
trying to justify my Accomplishments List,
despite it making me look like I have an oversized ego.
Haha just kidding,
my ego's already the size of Australia.

Well, without further adieu,
let this incredibly boring, stupid, ego-inflating list !

Hoping for more adventures in my second semester of Uni !

soils

What a weird title for this post.
Soils !
That brown-blackish thing that's all around you.
The thing that plants grow on.
The thing that worms live in.
Soils…
The meaning of that title,
so deep.
You can barely understand it.
So what do I mean when I said "soils" ?
What I mean is simply, soils !
I love soils.
#MyStrangeAddiction

And you can blame it all on Uni.
THEY DID THIS TO ME.
But really,
this is the result of having a student go through a combination of
Biology, Earth Science, Communication and Japanese units
in his first semester of Uni.
And I HIGHLY doubt there'd be anyone else
who took those exact 4 combinations of units.
Ironically,
the Communication unit
(SCIE1103: Science, Society and Communication)
was the most influential of 'em all !

But I suppose the lot of you would not be able the understand.
The true beauty and power that is soils !
Here's a picture to help process all this.

A recent trip to my local planetarium
(WHICH WAS AWESOME)
has really got me thinking though…

Soils on Earth is fertile. 

But not on other planets.

The fertility of soils is almost one-of-a-kind on Earth.

Soils are also responsible for growing plants,

the primary producers.

Wouldn't it make sense to think that,

soils were sort of like a platform for the evolution of complex life ?

Life expanded from the ocean, onto land.

Animals relied on plants,

and plants relied on the soils they're on.

Can you comprehend the miraculous prowess of soils NOW !?
If not, refresh this tab and
start reading this all over again.

Have I told you about my sick obsession with soils ?
They made me wanna switch majors to Agriculture !
That's how loopy I am for them.
And when I look at it,
Agriculture might not be so bad after all.
I mean,
I might even enjoy it more than Environmental Science.
No surprise really.
Since I picked Environmental Science on a whim.
And also because the cover guy/girl for the major looked happy.
Unfortunately,
the cover guy/girl for the major this year is not-so-good-looking.
The background was awful as well…
On the other hand,
the cover guy/girl for Agriculture looked happy this year.
Yup !
Now you know how my mind works,
and how to decide on my Uni degrees.
I know, I know.
My priorities are messed up !
(All them Asians doing Commerce degrees though….)
#AsianIntuition

So far,
I think soils are quite impressive,
though most of the work I've done revolved around soil nutrients.
Which reminds me,
I might also have a sick obsession for Phosphorus as well.
But let's not go there.
Perhaps it's one of those moments,
where you find something insanely fascinating.
But as soon as you really get into the nitty-gritty stuff,
things aren't so "fascinating" anymore…
Like climate change !
I bet everyone is interested in that.
Well,
I dare you to enrol in EART1105: Dynamic Planet.
And then, tell me what you think about climate change.
In fact,
just knowing that I'll be taking a unit called "The Climate System"
in my second year makes me shiver.
I fell like fleeing from my lectures and just bury myself….
….IN SOILS !
Because I love them so.

Other than that,
I guess I should give my tutors for this semester
a little shout out !
I've had great people teach me this semester.
The scary my-tutor-is-evil/crap stories I keep hearing from others
definitely helped with making me more grateful.
I salute them !
I also stalk them on the Internet.
Lastly, I wish them Good Luck with their phD projects.
Now I just hope I get some decent tutors for next semester !

Also, my ego got mega-inflated,
thanks to me (and my group) being published in a
student-only online journal.
You can check it out here.
Ahhh yes,
life is sweet when you're in your first semester of Uni
and already have a scientific paper published…


P.S. I should really upload some photos, shouldn't I ?


Listening to Little Sines - Rhian Sheehan

Busy during holidays,

TK

the one.one experience

Oh lookey here.
Guess who's back ?
ME.
But you wouldn't know,
since you don't even read my blog.
Don't blame you though.
I've been neglecting this blog for a while now.
And it's not the first time I've done it too.
But if you see/read this,
well, good for you !
I know I've lost all my loyal stalkers.
But I can get them back.
And YOU are living proof of that.
Soon, they will all come flooding back,
into the palm of my hands.
#OminousMoment

So my holiday has just begun.
Yup, you heard/read it right.
My first semester in uni as officially ended.
Thinking back, it's only been 3 months.
And yet, actually LOOKING back,
well, let's just say,
I'd rather not go through that again.

But it was definitely a fun experience.
Friends are great,
don't you think.
I might not have made many yet.
But I've got just enough !
Chilling (but mostly procrastinating) by day,
having insane assignment meltdowns at the library by night.
Such is a day in my life as a uni student.

But of course.
Let me just reiterate myself.
"All that is over and I have more than a month to chill."
I wish I could yell
"It's SUMMER TIME."
from the top of my lungs,
but I can't.
Because it's winter.
#fail

So what am I doing during this "insanely" long WINTER break ?
Well, I'm not even sure.
Just wasting time.
That's how it looks to me.
And by the end of the month,
I'll probably be crying while packing my bags.
That will probably happen.
As with all my other breaks so far.
Though, the transition to Uni was a little better.
Since they did make me get up
and attend that Pre-Orientation camp.
(Gosh that was fun/depressing !)

Well,
it looks like I'm just typing cr*p over and over again.
So I'll end it here.
But I shall be back,
in the very near future.
For MOAR updates.
Y'know,
if you still want them.
And if you're still reading this…
I promise I won't waffle as much next time !
~Ciao !

Summer Winter Time !

Uni.lyf

It's officially been 4 weeks since uni's started.
And nothing exciting is happening.
Oh gosh.
Another boring year.

You pretty much KNOW how pathetic you are
when you take pleasure in staying at the library until ten.
Assignments are starting.
Group presentations.
Online quizzes etc.
(You know you're screwed when you have open book online quizzes…)

Oddly disappointing is the fact that,
I'm not doing so well in my core unit: Dynamic Planet.
Which worries me quite a little.
Because it's made me doubt whether Environmental Science is really my thing ?
I mean,
I literally picked it out of the course guide
'cuz the cover guy for that course looked pretty happy.
But I'll just stay and see how it goes.
Worst case scenario,
I switch to Conservation Biology in my second year.
And for that matter,
you know you're gonna have a hard time finding employment in Australia
when your major has the word "Biology" in it.
Well,
that applies to Science in general.
But I suppose it's rougher for Biology.

Here's a little something for all you stalkers who're slightly curious
on what I'm currently learning :

And I suppose that pretty much wraps my this blog post.
Kinda aimless though =P
I hope something exciting happens 0_0
Hmm…which reminds me,
what DID I blog about last year ?

P.S. Clubbing just ain't for me.
Drinking isn't my thing.
And neither is dancing/sweating on a crowded dance floor.

P.S.S I got a haircut from a new place. Definitely going back. =)


Listening to Pompeii - Peter Hollens

Nothing exciting,

セオドル

as a fresher

I'm finally back.
And stumped with loads of assignments and reading.
So much work to do.
But I took the afternoon off just to chill a little.
Wouldn't want my brain to burn out now, would I ?
(Even though I'm still thinking about the piles of work I have to do…)

Uni has officially started.
Well, it started 2 weeks ago.
I just got preoccupied with things,
so updating took awhile.
It's good to see SOME activity in my Blogger feed.
To all you bloggers that I've subscribed to,
thank you for making me feel guilty for neglecting my blog.
It is that very guilt that saw the creation of this post.

OK.
So how's uni so far ?
It feels a little weird answering my own question,
but it's been really fun.
Still a little daunting.
But the experience is pretty awesome.

So many new things that you've gotta get used to.
Big campus,
expensive (but crap) food,
different timetables,
clubs and societies, etc.

Oh and before I forget,
this semester I'm doing 4 units.
Dynamic Planet, [Science, Society and Communication],
Japanese 1 and Frontier in Biology.
I think I chose quite an interesting combination.
As an Environmental Science student,
Dynamic Planet is essential.
I only took Biology because it was (highly) recommended.
Japanese is my broadening unit.

A broadening unit is a unit that belongs to a degree unrelated to yours.
So if you're on a Science degree, all units that isn't related to Science
can count as your broadening unit.

I took Japanese because it LOOKED easy.
And interesting.
Like, wouldn't it be cool to be able to practice
your language skills by doing something enjoyable ?
Like watching anime and listening to music ?
Yes it would.
It'd make the learning process much more enjoyable.
Also,
I think it's pretty cool to be able to speak ANOTHER language.
Gotta start afresh since my other languages are cr@p.
And don't forget being able to watch animes
WITHOUT having to wait for the English subs.
On second thought,
I'm getting wayyyy too carried away.
I'm only on Level 1.
And I'm not planning on advancing anywhere further than Level 2.

I won't lie.
I find the lectures pretty hard.
My Japanese lecturer goes through things really fast.
(Katakana in 30 minutes anyone ?)
And not that it's a problem,
but her English isn't very good as well.
Biology can be a bit hard to digest.
Especially with a thousand-page textbook.

But the one unit I'm really worried about is my core unit,
Dynamic Planet.
I'm not sure if there's something I missed,
but I don't seem to understand what my lecturer is talking about.
Other people seem fine though.
She uses terms that are mostly alien to me.
"Plate tectonics" and "Sedimentary rock", anyone ?
Could be the structure of the lecture though.
It feels like she's just conversing casually to us
while switching through slides.
But I can barely understand the aim of the lecture.
And worst yet,
what if I'm the only one who doesn't understand ?
I checked the forums and everyone seems to be doing relatively well.
At least they look like they're having no problems coping.
Oh gosh, I'm screwed.
Some environmental scientist I am =P

Enough of the depressing uni stuff.
Let's talk clubs.
Clubs are fun, aren't they ?
We've got O-Day,
which I'm pretty sure stands for Orientation Day.
And if you haven't figured it out yet.
It's the last day of O-Week.
It's a huge festival where clubs all set up stalls and
try to convince freshers (US !) to join them.
Nothing really stood out for me #nolife
But guess what ?
I ended up joining 6 clubs !
Science Union, Natural Science Club,
Uni Camp 4 Kids (volunteer), Multicultural Student Union,
UWAnimes and Japanese Society.
I'm probably not gonna do/participate in any of them.
Joined the first two out of my personal obligation.
Volunteer clubs are a MUST !
(it makes you look more generous)
And some guy managed to convince me to join the Multicultural one.
Ironic because he's Malaysian as well
#facepalm
The anime club was supposed to be my leisure club.
But they don't look too interesting at their fresher party.
So I joined the JapSoc instead.
And it's pretty fun. And productive.
I can actually practice my introductions in Jap…

So I've got my classes sorted out.
And my clubs too.
Still struggling to strike a balance between study and life.
But I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
Uni's looking good so far.
It's nice to sit on the grassy lawn and talk.
It's sad when you can't find anyone to grab lunch with.
It's frustrating when you're on time for your lecture but there aren't any seats left.
It's embarrassing when your stomach grumbles in the library.
Yup,
uni's definitely looking good.
Of course,
you'd never believe unless I show you evidence.
Unfortunately, I couldn't snap any photos of lectures.
Since my phone camera gives off THE LOUDEST "CLICK" on Earth.
(you'd literally hear it, stop what you're doing and just stare at me)
But here are some that I've managed to take when no one's around.
Unilife so far…

Technical Issue:
When you click on the image,

The band performing.

They sang a Kodaline song !

Love the banjo and violins.

Not sure what they do, but I'm pretty sure it involves drinking.

Hmm…wonder if I should join ?

Was really scared of doing rock climbing.

Greetings Everyone.
It is I.
The owner of this blog.
The one who'll be typing more nonsense
on this virtual canvas.

I know I might've been gone for quite a while now.
But I have a perfectly good excuse.
Last week,
omgtheuniinvitedmetoapreorientationcamp

ohifeelsoprivilegedandluckyandthebestpartwellevenbetterpart

atanactualdormohivealwayswantedtostaythere !
And if you think that was all random gibberish.
It isn't.
Try reading it.

So yeah.
That's the reason why I was gone.
I got to attend UWA's Flying Start program.
Because apparently,
I'm 'disadvantaged'.
And I feel that it IS an honour to be…
disadvantaged.
Okay.
Maybe that isn't the best word to use in this situation but whatever.

Flying Start is a pre-orientation program/camp.
So you get to meet people (your peers) even before orientation.
I suppose it's designed to cater to those
who might not have many people from their school
coming to UWA.
(Oh yes. I'm attending UWA now. #prestige)
I think I qualify 'cause
they're less than 10 of us coming.
If memory serves and all.
So I went.
And I talked.
And I made a fair amount of friends.
Very happy with that.
I'm making good progress, aren't I ?
A group of friends before uni even starts.

Also,
it's been FOREVER since I joined a camp.
Well, PLKN doesn't count.
That was serious business.
It was a matter of life and death.
Heck.
I even had to shoot a few rounds just to make it out of there.
Back to Flying Start,
well,
it was, in a word, awesome.
They showered us with chocolates.
I have NEVER seen chocolates being given out so generously in my life.
And the student leaders were nice.
In fact,
the first person who talked to me was a student leader.
And I had to talk to everyone else.

It ran for 2 nights.
And because most people came from other towns and stuff,
the uni booked rooms for us
to stay in at the residential college.
After I read about that,
I told myself,
I JUST HAD TO GO.
NO MATTER WHAT !
I NEED THAT COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.
#desperate
We got the smallest rooms they had to offer,
BUT I DON'T CARE.
If I can't live at a college,
then this is as good as it'll ever get.
I made myself cozy.
BUT SOME OTHER STUDENTS WERE MAKING 
NOISES DOWN THE HALL AND I CAN'T SLEEP IN PEACE LIKE THAT.
GOSH I HAVE TO WAKE UP AT SIX THE NEXT MORNING.
PLEASE PEOPLE, HAVE SOME DECENCY!
Got a good night's sleep.
Surprisingly,
I didn't oversleep.
WOOHOO.
Oh and before I forget,
here's a photo of my room.
(Not really the best picture,
but I was just too excited.)
Not the fanciest of all dorms,
but I'm still extremely grateful
to have this opportunity.

Second day,
talked to more people.
And then everyone went home.
So yeah.
Business as usual.
Well, not exactly.
I know some of my peers now.
So that's great.
Uni's less daunting now.
Wow.
I must say.
The camp was super effective.
I'm not even whining about my endless list of insecurities anymore.

Oh and here's a picture of the view of Perth.
Taken from King's Park.
I know my photography skills are terrible.
But I was just bored.

O-Week Time,

TK

1month late

I came across an interesting article

on Thought Catalog 

a few days ago.

Some random wannabe journalist was writing about

how us Chinese are caught up in our own world.

Simply because we THINK 

that the New Years arrive in February,

not January.

Duh.

We're one month late.

Said amateur followed up by saying that

it is their obligation as people to help us realise the truth.

The first of January is the beginning of the new year.

Not the first of February.

I found the article amusing.

She was joking, of course.

Or was she ?

The fact that she was a teacher 

gave me the impression that 

she wouldn't be writing "funny" articles…

But Oh Well.

Those are her two cents, I suppose.

But enough of the pleasantries.

Let's get back to business.

Firstly,

I'd like to wish everyone a VERY belated

Happy Chinese New Year.

Not Happy New Year.

But Happy CHINESE New Year.

#CHINESE

For those of you who know me personally,

you'd probably see me walking around

The Land Below The Wind.

Which is true.

I wasn't a phantom or illusion.

I was really there.

I went back.

Back to my (summer) home.

I remember I was having conflicting thoughts 

about which to call my home

when I was on my plane.

But nevermind that.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Anyways,

I was back there for 2 weeks.

Yup, a whopping TWO weeks.

And we all know,

TWO is better than one.

And needless to say,

I had a blast.

It was fun all the way to the end.

And although your mileage may vary on this one,

the 'end' part of the trip was just as fun adventurous.

I COULD write and describe everything that I've done.

All 14 days of it.

But you'd just fall asleep,

and I'd fall asleep too.

So I'll just not do that.

Maybe I'll just keep typing this and 

see where it brings me…

OK I lied.

I actually stopped after I finished that paragraph.

There're just so many things to distract yourself with on the Internet.

And speaking of Internet,

the one back home (THAT home) was awful.

It was pure torture.

I couldn't even watch videos. =(

Facebook would take forever to load, etc.

Aha ! I didn't get distracted when I finished that sentence.

Yay.

Alright, let's see.

My flight was on Monday.

The good thing was I got there in the morning.

So I had a whole day of activity ahead of me.

I went and paid Miss Prez a visit and we had…

you guessed it : STARBUCKS.

The barista was creeping me out…

Saw a bunch of people working.

Feel guilty about me not having a job.

NEXT DAY.

Woke up early

(feels good because it's productive).

Went out for breakfast with Miss Iiyee.

And FINALLY found out what Ban Mian is.

Do you know what Ban Mian is ?

I didn't.

But now I do.

Here's a picture.

Then I went to the dentist.

A new dentist.

I was scared.

It got worse when I sat down and 

the nurse started doing things to my teeth.

WHERE IS THE REAL DENTIST ^%&^$%

Went to close my BSN account…

ended up depositing even more cash into it…

WEDNESDAY !

Headed all the way to 1B with Mr Sarcasm to watch :

FROZEN ! 

Truth be told,

I didn't know a single thing about this film,

because I'm "too old" for cartoons.

I was wrong.

THURSDAY.

A dessert run.

No, 

we don't run for dessert.

We just eat it…

LOTS of it.

It was me, Miss Prez and Miss Scorpio

versus EIGHT (or five) dessert stores.

Meh,

we made it to Shop #3.

Good try.

Maybe next time =P

Went to yamcha with Miss Mole the next day,

after seeing my piano teacher.

She's coming Down Under to study too !!!

Oh wait…it's Melbourne…

nevermind…

Saturday….was fun.

I got a wicked (same old) haircut.

And then it was off to Miss Scorpio's place

for a SLEEPOVER.

Mind you, she lives quite far away.

So it was sorta like a road trip,

consisting of me, Miss Prez and Miss Chancello.

We headed out to 1B for dinner.

GOT LOST HALFWAY.

Found the place,

had dinner and opted to watch "Her".

It was…long.

And to some,

heart-wrenching…

And then we spent the whole night on Omegle.

Thanks Miss Prez ;-)

Got two hours of sleep,

then got ready to drive all the way to Suria.

Met Mr Chancello.

Creeped Mr Chancello out.

Went to Karaoke.

SANG MY HEART OUT.

Went shopping a little.

Caught a flu.

ACT DEAD.

And that was the end of week 1.

Oh look.

I really did end up typing about what happened.

Well,

at least it was quite summarised.

I would've added some photos to

make it more interesting.

But SOMEHOW,

all the photos from my phone 

DISAPPPEARED.

_*(&^%^%##$$*((&

I don't really know how/why it happened.

It just did.

And it happened on Sat/Sun…

Hmmm…

(And I tried so hard to force myself to snap a picture every once in a while T__T )

Week #2.

This is when I started getting really lazy.

As per all trips.

I went to try out the October Cafe with the Fifits.

It was nice, I guess.

The owner's Korean,

if that means anything…

Then I had dinner at Upperstar the next day.

With some "old" high school friends.

I'm not sure why,

but we I always end up choosing Upperstar.

But I guess the important part is us seeing each other.

It was last minute though.

So planning was a little rough.

Went to the beach 

(cue finding out all photos in phone are lost),

then sent everyone home….

It was gonna end there…

BUT IT DIDN'T.

Went over to Mr Sarcasm's place 

and played with his PS3.

UNTIL SEVEN IN THE MORNING.

The morning air was cold.

And I could hear the laughter of kids from the primary school next door.

Ahhh…

The vitality of youth…

But who cares.

Went home.

SLEEEEEEP.

UNTIL FOUR IN THE EVENING.

Oh well.

#YOLO

Thursday : EMO

Friday : EMO (with some shopping)

Saturday : Visited Mr JB.

Went out with him for a little drink.

But EVERYTHING IS CLOSED.

Finally settled for Coffee Bean.

small talk……

Then,

I went to visit Miss Prez…

I was being fashionably late.

There was no food left from the earlier open house.

But since when am I ever hungry ?

Even without food,

I had a great time LMAO-ing.

(lmao was pretty much the best term I can think of to describe this)

Only went home at midnight.

And NO trip is complete with RUSH PACKING.

But I gotta wake up early the next day.

Gotta go out with Miss Scorpio.

(Since I DID promise her.

And a guy never goes back on his word, right ?)

It was (once again),

a long trip.

This time,

I'm driving solo.

But the highways were so fun.

Especially in the morning,

when there aren't any cars nor is it hot.

We stopped by at McD for brekkie.

And OMG I haven't had a Sausage McMuffin in FOREVER.

*tears of joy

I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MOAR OF IT !

In fact,

this McD branch was REALLY nice.

The building was standalone and clean.

The cashier lady was really nice.

And well…

everything was really clean…

LAWL.

(plus there's a standalone KFC next door too)

Continued on with the car ride.

And we ended up at 1B….at 10am.

The place was still deserted.

So we killed some time by talking.

And then SHOPPING.

You know how shopper look in TV ?

Walking around fashionably in slow motion,

while holding 5 bags on each hand.

Well, WE felt like that.

She bought stuff she liked.

I bought stuff I liked.

We both end up happy and broke.

Yup, happy.

I also bumped into Miss Jay and Mr Cous.

They were alone…

Hmmm….

After that,

I sent her home.

Said my final good-byes.

And rushed home.

I was trying to drive fast,

even though cars surrounded me 

from every direction.

If I got back late,

well,

I'd be in big trouble.

Worst care scenario ?

I miss my flight.

Oh wait,

that's a good thing.

(To the taxi guy who's lane I cut into in the middle of a traffic light at Lintas.

I'm truly sowi.

I didn't mean for it to turn out that way…)

Got home.

Got changed.

Headed to the airport.

(OMG TAIWANESE INVASION)

And never looked back.

I had fun =)

Oh.

And this is what you SHOULD call me now --->

Cheers !
