Mom says Perth is Boring with a Capital B

Nah, this post has nothing to do with that.
Currently I'm blogging in my university library instead of joining my friends for lunch at Matilda Bay. I do want to join them but my housemates and I exceeded our internet usage limit by a week so I have to wait till the 22nd to finally have the connection to turnover.


I need the internet.

How am I going to survive without one for another 2 Sundays?


These days I've been staying back and going to the library to complete the assignments and tutorial questions which due every week. Not to say that the workload for my university is much worse than when I was doing foundation year, but the homework that are given is completely different all together. I used to have exams weekly, but now we have tutorial questions and lab assignments to hand up each time.

My aim when I reached here is to be more hardworking, seeing the result that I had obtained last year. Why am I still procastinating though? Why can't I cope with my work even though it's just only a month? I'm scared. Seriously. I'm freaking terrified.

I don't know how to do my second assignment questions for Business Stats. Note that, it's second assignment okay! The tutorial class doesn't help since I don't even have the clue of what the tutor is talking about. All I have to do is to copy what he wrote in the board, that also if I can read them. I'm in deep shit and it's about to due soon.

Being bad at Stats is not the biggest problem. I have experienced worse. My heart was thumping like mad when I had my first Economics tutorial class. The tutor randomly picks out a name from the list and asks us to answer the question. Fuck. He hadn't call my name yet, fortunately but I know luck will not be on my side soon enough. I know I can't speak in front of the class, but to face the locals... the feeling is even worse. I feel so intimidated being with them. They can explain everything in super long sentences and apply other factors into the question as well. Besides that, I have only two other Asians in my class. 2 Asians who are living in Australia for a few years. Oh man, I am so gonna lose 5% of my participation marks.


Well, that it about my studies.

Just so you know, my mom always email me and my eldest sister to update about her life and vice versa. I receive mails from her practically everyday. Then there is one particular mail which I would like to point out on. Something which I can't tell her.

She loves to compare her childrens' result with our cousins'. Uuks and Kor, I know you are reading this, but I really feel like expressing them out. How can she compare my sister's result with our malay wtf cousin who doesn't study at all? It's really unfair okay. Seeing the difference of his result and my sister's result really gets into me. I'm being racist, I know but I don't give a damn about it.

Sometimes, the words she uses, such as.. our family lost to my uncle's malay family really hurts. She always says that their family don't need to pay a single cent on their wtf malay education cause they have scholarship whereas our family have to foot out everything for our education. It's true, I never deny... but how can she compare? Even during NS, I was shocked to hear that a malay girl who obtained 4As had scholarship!

On a side note, my mom is encouraging me to hook up with a friend of mine after I'd introduced him to my family during orientation. Hahahaha. She said she feel bad for encouraging me to look for a bf like him than to study. Hahahaha.
I totally in favor with her on Yoong's case. Hopefully she'll do something about this.
Also, she said that even after the operation she had last time, her cervical still bleeds from time to time. I think I am more scared for her than she being scared herself. My mom is so tough at times, but she said she is afraid that sometimes the test result might not be accurate.

My first home cooked meal. Fried eggs with mushrooms, 4 pieces of toast bread with ham and cheese for dinner.

Great right?

=)

You've gotta be kidding me.

My housemate basically helped me in everything. Ey but at least I cut the mushrooms and stirred the eggs with a fork okay.


This is more like it.

Super salty sunny side up and raw cucumbers. I added too much salt in my egg then I decided to push it to the cucumbers. Disgusting. Yucks.
Oh, and btw.. my housemate cook the rice. Not me.

I bought this at Ikea. Lol, for the sake of spending something else besides on food. They're so cute cause the we can put the frame on the art stand.
