February 29, 2012

So today we had one of those special days that only occur once every 4 years. Yes i am talking about February 29th that occurs every leap year. Maybe it's something about the date but today in the K-pop scene lots of comebacks and new songs were released and maybe because it's a special date that they chose to do it today. Well today marks the official comeback of Big Bang with the release of their 5th Mini Album "Alive" as well as new Japanese songs from Kara, T-ara and Rainbow being "Speed Up", "Lies" and "Gonna Gonna Go" respectively.

Big Bang - Blue

Kara - Speed Up

T-ara - Lies

Rainbow - Gonna Gonna Go

Anyway besides k-pop on this day, I wanted to blog today because it only occurs once every 4 years and by blogging i hope this will mark as a beginning point and so in the next February 29th in 2016 i can compare it to now and see what has changed since. Hopefully things will become better :D

Life of University - Day 0.5 (Orientation Week)

Weather: Raining and Humid

{Boyfriend - You & I}

Today i woke up around 8am but when i saw the sky was still pretty dark I comfortable went back to sleep. It is on days like these where you just want to sleep comfortable on your bed for the whole day :D But since today i wanted to go to USyd's O-week i had to wake up around 9.30 and left the house around 10. I intended to go look for any freebies that i can find and also meet up with Robert for a while.

{Beast - Breath}

So i got on the train and to occupy the long hour ride i listened to music on my phone using the new ear phones that came with the phone that i have yet to used. Must i say it's actually pretty good for listening to quality music. So i got off Redfern and walked towards USyd and the rain does not make it a relaxing walk XD Anyway i got to the main campus and had a look around. But i ended up quite disappointed i couldn't find a lot of freebie stores such as the Officeworks one at UNSW but i manage to get free drinks as well as a Cinebuzz card.

{Big Bang - Haru Haru}

After scouting around and decided that there was nothing else i could find i headed towards market city to grab lunch. It was quite a long walk. Anyway after lunch, i walked towards Chinatown to check out the music store i always go to. And it was funny because the tv from the store was showing one of SNSD's concert and if there wasn't another two guys standing there staring i might have ended doing the same also lol but yeah i didn't. So after some random walking and looking around, Robert texted me to say he was on his way to the city so i waited for him at Central station. We met up and we exchanged our recent happenings as we walked towards town hall even though we weren't sure where or what we were doing yet lol. He taught me teh ways of saving money :D Got to town hall Macca's and robert bought his lunch and we sat there for a while talking some more and after that decided we should head on home.

So yeah that's basically my day and nothing much happened after that. University for me will be starting soon. In a way i'm excited to get started and start learning new things :D

Life of University - Day 0 (Orientation Day)

Weather: Sunny and Humid


{Big Bang - Blue}


Today was Orientation Day for  Health Sciences. For those who don't know, this year i will be doing Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy). After last year, one of the worst times of my life, i hope this new start will bring about new elements into my life and allow me to change for the better. So today marks the start of what i hope to be a good year but so far it seems nothing has changed. 


To be honest, i believe i am a very self conscious person, and i take it very personal about how people view me. Yes, i know it is not wise to that, i have told myself many times that i shouldn't. But it is something that has been built into me and i can only hope that through new experiences and time i can get out of this awful habit. As a result of this, i guess i find it really hard to express myself to people i do not know well and also definitely make it difficult for me to make friends with new people. I always get the feeling i give a bad impression and from there it's downhill. But i'll try to change, try my best to make something of this year. Though at this point i am not sure how.

Well back to the topic of Orientation day. Woke up around 7, but man waking up is such a hard thing to do when sleeping feels so good lol. Anyway because of Orientation Day i couldn't go pick up my sister from the airport but more on that later. Anyway so i caught the train to Lidcombe and i was quite surprised by the line for the bus to USYD. Anyway i saw a few hurlstone people though i tried to avoid them (though i dunno why, self consciousness again?)



{Tablo - Tomorrow}


So i got to USyd and made my way to the lecture theater where the orientation was held and saw even more hurlstoners though i think they saw me but yeah i didn't greet them. After that i went to student central to pick up my student id and then just barely made it to the Physiotherapy talk. I was actually quite surprised. There were more asians than i expected (Physiotherapy always appeared to me as a white male dominated course) but i would say there was about 50/50 Asians to white and also quite more females than expected. Anyway i tried to look for Brendan though i didn't find him in the theater. Afterwards, i walked around the uni a bit to find out about some textbooks and stuff and i believe i saw Brendan being guided around by a volunteer. But i didn't go up to him. (Why didn't i? i really don't know...too troublesome..can't be bothered...?) Anyway after that I decided to leave and set out for home


Anyway got home and was prepared to receive souvenirs from my sister. Anyway i was quite content with what i got. I got a Kingdom Heart's Sora Figurine from the Square Enix store (~$120), A Final Fantasy X Tidus small figurine, Zekrom small figurine,  a leather bag and i think that was it. But yeah it was good :D


I think i would end it with that today.

Reviving the Forgotten

Its been over 3 years since I created this blog spot and over 3 years since I last posted. A lot of things happened between then and now and what's more important is that a lot of things have changed since then. 3 years...not too short nor too long... a long enough period of time for things to occur yet not too long that things are forgotten. In that time, people came and go, many road blocks and challenges appeared and ultimately made me question everything that's important to me.

Well since i decided to post on a regular basis now there is a reason behind this. I felt through blogging I would be able to better express myself, my thoughts and emotions. I believe this would enable me to become a much more mature and better person. By putting specific incidents on this blog I might be able to better understand myself...so i hope. I hope to make this a habit no matter what but i guess we just have to wait and see.

So from this point onward, i will post about my daily happenings (hopefully) and hope to reflect each day of things that have happened. Until then.
