Poor Nadal :(

It's been awhile since I last posted a blog entry. Sorry, dearest bloggie, I must have been too busy working to have abandoned you :(.

Anyway, here goes nothing.

Watched the Australian Open match: Djokovic vs Nadal, yesterday night. Didn't get to see the whole match, as the match lasted for 5 hours plus and I needed to catch my sleep for work the next day. Read SMH.com.au this morning only to discover that my favourite tennis player, Nadal lost :(. And I thought Nadal would win as he led out with 5-7. It seems as if all my tennis players are going second ... first, Sharapova and second, Nadal.

Still was a good game though. I love the intensity and competitiveness. Furthermore, they both played good. Djokovic is tall and had strengths. Furthermore, Djokovic has been ranked the no 1 player for awhile now. Poor Nadal. I guess he'll have to wait for next year's Australian Open to get his feet back on the championship road again.

p/s: I still prefer Nadal to Djokovic though haha.

Sleep deprivation

I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to sleep early? This is such an unhealthy routine that I believe that I deserve to know why and what can be done to stop this.

The reason why would be because I've been sleeping to as late as 4 in the morning for the past one month. My body sort of followed this routine, for I had cultivated this sleeping late routine for about a month. It's hard to get used to sleeping late. At least, I'm seeping at 2am every night. That sort of gave me some relief. However, I would still want to train myself on sleeping at 11pm every night.

There are strengths and weaknesses to this routine.

The strengths would be ... I would be able to do more things such as read more books and apply for jobs. Yes, I'm still jobless. It's pretty difficult to get a job now. Especially when I have no experience. However, I would be volunteering for Mission Australia under the Marketings, Branding and Communication team. That's a start. At least, I'm doing something. I might get a part time job too, just till I get a full time job that pays. :)

Ok back to the weaknesses of sleep deprivation. The weaknesses would be ...

1) I would grow weaker later on, especially when Period Menstruation comes.

2) Stress and anxious

3) I may get angry, irritable and depressed. All these are able to cause relationship and social problems.

4) Lack of focus and difficulty in concentrating.

5) Short term memory loss. I have good memory and if I ever go through short term memory loss, that would be horrible. I would be cracking my head till I have a migraine.

6) Suppression of the immune system. I may get more colds and flu, and possibly a bad fever.

I need to do something about this. The weaknesses are frightening me. It's scary and freaky. I need to try to sleep, even if I toss around for an hour, which I tend to do lately. I need to get my feet back on the ground. It's time to be serious. There's lots to do at this point of time.

Wish me luck. To all of you who have sleep deprivation, try sleeping. Try taking this vitamin called Sweddish Bitter before sleeping. It helps. Maybe I should take it now too. And remember, sleeping pills do not help. It only causes more problems.

Till then, too loos.

Recently ...

Recently, I've been going out almost everyday, meeting up with different groups of friends. It's been fun and entertaining. My friends are keeping me busy and so are my family members, both close and extended. It's a pity though that I won't be spending Chinese New Year here and receive the ang pows I deserve. Gosh, I'm gonna miss the festive season full of joy and love. And not forgetting the food only served on Chinese New Year.

I have about eight days left till I fly back to Australia. There's much to do once I return. Get a job!!! Seriously, I need a job. I can't lie around doing nothing anymore. This routine has to stop this instant. It has to be productive, rather than lazying around. It's about time. I've been studying for awhile now. Time to earn some money and save 'em all.

Of course, I would be looking forward to more sweet memories with someone called D :). And I know he would too. We've been apart for about three weeks now and it feels like time is flying far too slow. When we're together, time flies faster. When we're apart, time flies too slow. I wonder why though. But, I guess this just makes our relationship stronger and stronger :). Another week to go sweetie :).

I guess that sums my update for the day. Looking forward to see my cousin, Alison, her husband, Genard and her son, Nathan, who is also my nephew ;). Too loos all. Till next time.

Missing You On Christmas Day

Blessed Christmas to all. How did you spend your Christmas? As for me, I spent Christmas eve with my family at church. There were fantastic performances such as hip hop dances and contemporary dances, singing, as well as a drama play, and of course, not forgetting the awesome sermon given by our senior Pastor, Pastor Joshua :).

It was an awesome and fantastic Christmas celebration. Managed to say a quick hello to a couple of my church buddies. It's been awhile!!!

However, although I enjoyed the Christmas celebration at church, whereby it has filled me with joy and laughter, as I was walking down to the Basement to my Dad's car, thoughts started to run through my mind. "I miss my boyfriend so much". The more these thoughts start to run, the more I want to fly back to Australia. God knows how much I want to be with him at this very moment.

Your smile, your laughter, your voice, your hugs, your kisses, your presence, your stories ... I miss them all. Maybe cause it's Christmas and that's why I miss him so much. Hmm.

I miss you dear. 19 days left to go till I'm back in your arms =). Awaiting that moment ...

Hello Malaysia

Hola blog, it's been awhile since I last posted an entry. =)

After months of waiting, I'm finally back in Malaysia. I've been eating a lot of Malaysian food delicacies. Delicacies like Rojak, Tosai, Roti Canai, Pan Mee, Yee Mee, Cendol, Egg Tarts, Chee Cheong Fan and etc etc etc. More to come in days to come. Gosh, by the time I fly back to Australia, I'll be fat as a pumpkin.

Moreover, I've been spending time with my family, extended family and friends. Mostly mainly eating and catching up. It's been great catching up. Besides, I only come back to Malaysia once a year. I must enjoy this one-month vacation while I still can. There's nothing like home, it's the best place to be. Besides, I was bred here and I grew up here. :)

And oh, not to forget that one last thing ... shopping. It was great shopping, but so far, I've only managed to buy working clothes. I have yet to buy casual clothes for myself. Sigh, I doubt if I would ever find 'em. I'm really picky when it comes to clothes. I must look good in it; e.g. the right design and the right color. Oh well, I still have 3 long weeks left :)

That sums it all. My perfect long vacation. I've only been back for about a week and a half. There's more pleasure and enjoyment to come :). Too loos for now. Till next time :)

Leonardo The Genius

After watching the documentary about Leonardo Da Vinci produced by BBC, I officially declare Leonardo as a talented and intelligent individual who deserves all admiration and praise.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath; a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a musician, a scientist, a mathematician, an engineer, an inventor, an anatomist, a geologist, a cartographer, a botanist and a writer.

I stand in awe of his inventions, his achievements, his productions. Inventions like musical instruments, hydraulic pumps, reversible crank mechanisms, finned mortar shells, a steam cannon, a flying machine, a diving suit, and the list goes on.

What has drawn me most to Leonardo's works is the famous Mona Lisa painting. No one was able to figure out who the woman in the painting was, till 500 years later, whereby the woman in the painting was a housewife selected by Leonardo himself to be part of his painting.

I'm amazed as well with how he was able to do things backwards; for example, writing backwards. How is one able to write backwards? I'm enthralled by it all!!! Moreover, his inventions seem to have a hidden secret to make it work. Just by watching the documentary itself has made me realise that Leonardo was truly a genius. He wanted to keep his inventions and his productions unique. He was smart enough to hide the secret ingredients required to make his inventions or productions work from the public, as he did not want them to make money out of his inventions or productions without giving him credit, more like protecting his copyright. It all remains a mystery, only God knows.

Writing is fascinating ...

Writing, why is writing so essential to me?

Writing allows me to express my feelings through a paper. It would be a missing piece from a puzzle if writing did not exist. Generally, it makes me happy and I could simply write all day long. I could simply write a book out of it.

Rather than speaking to yourself, save your breath from talking. Wouldn't writing save you from losing your voice? You wouldn't want to be voiceless, would you? It's a matter of choosing your options wisely. Besides, you could easily make money through writing. Take Dan Brown as an example, his writing has given him hefty royalties. Sure, it would take forever to finish writing a book. Nonetheless, it would bring a much more positive outcome once it's done ... rewards. You wouldn't have to go to work for years. The money you earn from writing a book would be sufficient for you to survive for a couple of years.

Back to writing ... I've always been a writer, even as a kid. I remember myself always writing poetries and short stories during my recess periods in school. Somehow, it relieved my boredom to some point. It had me thinking and doing something productive. Writing is my passion and my life. I could never survive without writing.

I don't know about you. You may have a different point of view. This is only my personal opinion. There's no right or wrong, it depends on each individual's interests.
